Well, you've read the notes, the notes went by in the blink of an eye, and now it is time for you to post until the blinking cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: HEBDOMAD!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
A bit sluggish after a big meal and drinks last night. I had garlic mushrooms, sirloin steak and fries followed by chocolate ganache (which really I could have done without, being too sweet for my liking). Now off to work.
-
Good morning, all.
Continued vibes for all in need.
Doug R, I agree that ganache can sometimes be too sweet and I prefer it with as little sugar as possible. But I somehow manage to choke down most anything chocolate without too much effort. (Maybe this is why I need to lose weight?)
-
TOD: You may have answered this in the past, but, in honor your impending natal day, BK, what was the best birthday present you remember receiving?
-
I hear Jason has $500, so he ought to be able to buy you a very nice dinner!
-
It's Wednesday. I could use some more sleep.

So, Hanukkah starts Saturday and once again I'm searching for a low-carb latke variation. Found several recipes made with turnips and another made with a combination of zucchini and radish. Any other thoughts? Potatoes are verboten on my diet and though they are now traditional, they really are a food that came from the Americas about two millennia after the original Hanukkah.

OK, I don't want a dog, but I would take him. I think even the bird the would like him.

;D

Morning.
Love is a Many Splendored Thing/The Seven Year Itch and Sandy Bainum This Christmas, arrived.
:) :)
-
Good morning, all! I slept well, but I am moving very slowly.
I'm on my first cup of coffee, and I'm trying to finish off my Christmas shopping. I'm down to my three last gifts. I'm not certain yet what they will be.
So, as soon as I have my second cup of coffee, I am off to Toyland, where I will continue the gift question.
-
I seem to have less and less time at home. I really need next year to be more relaxed, more time at home in the evenings. And more sleep, 5 and 6 hours a night just is not enough.
I saw a 6 foot $20.00 coil Christmas tree at Target that fits into a shoe box, maybe that will be my tree this year.
Just need to decide on silver, gold, pink, or blue, very retro 1970's feel.
Very fun. 8)
-
Off to work.
Have a really good Wednesday everyone.
Mega vibes and cheer.
;D
-
Wednesday morning greetings! My friend Becky and I are meeting at 11 to do some shopping and have lunch together. On my way, I'll swing by the dry cleaner and see if they can find the sweater I dropped off there last week...
-
Thank you to DRs TCB and Vixmom for their nice comments about our DN/G Lauren's certification. In addition to securing her professional future, yesterday's news provided me some much-needed inspiration for a Christmas present for her.
-
Good morning, all.
Coffee!!!
-
Just under six hours of sleep does not cut it. At least, it's not cutting it this time. My own fault, of course, for not calling it quits till after two in the a.m., and having to arise at a little after eight. I shall sneak in a little nap sometime today.
-
We went looking for a new cat yesterday.
I'm not sure that I'm ready yet.
:-\
-
We watched HOPE SPRINGS with Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones last night.
Good performances, but if you are expecting a comedy, you will be disappointed.
-
DR SAM I think silver would be very pretty.
-
Lots of things happening yesterday after I retired to my chamber.
The DR's here at HHW are all very busy and productive.
-
Shooting vibes for MR BK.
My question for ASK BK DAY:
What is your favorite Ronald Stein score?
-
Has anyone noticed the Merman caricature in the GYPSY movie yet?
DR VIXMOM - I love LOVE ACTUALLY.......although it's harder to watch now that Liam Neeson is really a widower.....with children.
-
Greetings from Toyland!
-
Shooting vibes for MR BK.
My question for ASK BK DAY:
What is your favorite Ronald Stein score?
That's an excellent question, DR Jrand62. If I were wearing a hat, it would be doffed to you.
-
TOD: You may have answered this in the past, but, in honor your impending natal day, BK, what was the best birthday present you remember receiving?
I remember very few birthday presents and none really strike me as over-the-top or brilliant - but cousin Dee Dee took me to Las Vegas for, I think, my 40th, so that was fun and Vegas was still Vegas.
-
Shooting vibes for MR BK.
My question for ASK BK DAY:
What is your favorite Ronald Stein score?
Dementia 13, from which I have an original two pages of the score written in his hand, given to me by Harlene Stein when we were doing Not of This Earth.
-
Oh, and I'm up and shall be out the door in about forty-five minutes.
-
DR Druxy, if you aren't ready for a new cat quite yet, you might consider waiting until after the holidays or until June. Very often we have found that the shelters adopt out cats like crazy before Christmas when lots of folks are wanting someone to cuddle with. But during kitten season, there are LOTS of kittens available, and adult cats don't get adopted because of too much kitten competition.
That's if you are planning on visiting a shelter. (Also, it's a good excuse to wait a while.)
-
Thank you DR Laura.
-
Thanks DR TCB.
-

Corgnelius, the cutest Corgi ever (http://www.buzzfeed.com/catesish/meet-corgnelius-the-cutest-corgi-ever)
Cute. The two little piglets at the bottom are also cute.
-
Dementia 13....good choice.
NOT OF THIS EARTH is one of the first BK produced Cd's I ever bought......for the inclusion of MY favorite Stein score:
ATTACK OF THE FIFTY FOOT WOMAN.....what a great main title....and a great sax rock and roll dance song, too!
-
We went looking for a new cat yesterday.
I'm not sure that I'm ready yet.
:-\
Take your time. Your heart will let you know.
-
I can't find the special Chanukah cards I found for Bryan & Craig. Soon it will be too late to mail them :)

Good afternoon!

In an attempt to get myself into a holiday mood, I've been running songs through my head:
Fill every stocking with laughter
We haven't got room for any more gloom
Let's ring every bell from it's rafter
And chime cross the land
Tomorrow's at hand
Those happy days that we were promised
Are finally here
We're getting a new deal for Christmas
We're getting a new deal for Christmas
We're getting a new deal for Christmas
We're getting a new deal for Christmas
Christmas
This year

We need 17 more posts just to reach page 3. If I didn't know better, I'd think most Hainsie/Kimlets were in a deep-freeze somewhere.

I'm done with "The Voice".
The final four were announced last night and one of the competition's two best singers was sent home, with two of the final four "inexplicably" popular with the public (my take on it).
Only Treven Hunte has a legitimate shot at being "The Voice"....if the competition is based on sheer vocal talent. The person he should have been matched up with in a finale shootout -- Amanda Brown -- was sent home last night while Nicholas David, Cassadee Pope and Terry McDermott joined Hunte. Either David or Pope should have been sent home instead of Brown (again, IMO).
Without Brown, it's a washout for me. If Hunte doesn't win, it will be a crying shame.
-
Am I ready for my Christmas trip back east?
AUGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGH!
I'm just dragging my feet getting things done!
-
Yes DR DRUXY - you will know when it is time. Looking for a new cat, though, is the only way to make the connection.....unless you open the door one morning.....and your new kitty is there.
-
I just got home to find a package waiting for me from DR JRand62! How exciting.
-

Yes, there are times when cats adopt you! I learned this at an early age when I read this book:
(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh119/RonPulliam/ThisCatCametoStay.jpg)
I still have this book, although the dust cover is long gone!!!
-
Two-thirds of the way through Page Two -- at cocktail hour??
-
Page two? Two pages?
-
Back from a really easy and fun shoot with a lot of game actors doing faux auditions. Johnny Dark was hilarious, so was Barry Pearl, Dan Callaway and all the others. Can't really say more without giving stuff away. We wrapped an hour early, so that was nice, too.
-
Becky and I had a delightful day. First we shopped at Michael's and Bed, Bath, and Beyond, then we had lunch at Chipotle. We went to Starbucks for dessert (gingerbread lattes) and to exchange birthday presents. On the way home I picked up some library books and my dry-cleaned sweater ;D
-
Still on page 2???
-
School was CR-RAZY today, I'm glad to have escaped an hour or so earlier than usual.
-
Sounds like a nice day DR GINNY.
-
Faux auditions.....for 20th Century-Faux?
-
Ask BK:
DR Jrand62 reminded me that I had wanted to ask if you have planned or ever considered any Paul Dunlap soundtracks?
I am thinkin that THE BLOOD OF DRACULA with I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN would make a great cd!
Or maybe 3 BAD SISTERS with CRIME AGAINST JOE.
Or TARGET EARTH and pretty much anything.
-
I just got an email from someone named TammyLoveGirl. She want's to exchange photos with me. That is so sweet of her!
-
Since we're close.....
-
Page 3!!! Pancake dance.
-
And for once, I did it right!!!

Morning.
Love is a Many Splendored Thing/The Seven Year Itch and Sandy Bainum This Christmas, arrived.

I received mine the other day. Still listening to both

ASK BK
Re: Love Is Many-Splendored Thing
Wondering why the end vocal doesn't have a separate track?
Also what is meant by "source" on the Love Is Many-Splendored Thing

And she has photos of what that would interest you?

The third day of orientation went quickly. Grateful for that.
-
Up to episode 9 of "Pickwick" and each episode just seems to get funnier and funnier.
-
So, "Scandalous," "Bring It On" and "Chaplin," the season's three new musicals, are all closing. No great surprise there.
-
I loved the Sandy Bainum Christmas CD. Makes me very happy. Have I said that already??

I like him, but tapes are always the problem, then figuring out exactly who owns what.

If I have, I hate repeating myself

Re: Love Is Many-Splendored Thing

Also what is meant by "source" on the Love Is Many-Splendored Thing
Because it plays seamlessly as it does in the film. Source means music coming from a radio or some source - we separated out the one source cue because Mr. Newman didn't compose it.
-
And Splendored Thing is now sold out.
-
Finished the second set of liner notes, which have now gone off for proofing.
-
Official Christmas Music listening has begun (Sandy Bainum was pre-official, but SO GOOD) with the listening of THIS (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ummY5T_Te4) Now I'm really happy!!
-

Has he gone to prison? That's the poignant epsode.

There'll be a change in the weather---60's today, 40's tomorrow.

Today at work I received 2 very expensive gifts from one of my clients - a watch and a wallet
the young woman (the ones in their 20's & 30's) were besides themselves with envy and admiration ....
not only do I not have a CLEW about this apparently latest MUST HAVE designer - I think the watch is ugly and the wallet is ordinary and less practical and useful than my $3 nylon wallet
I feel like an ingrate....
-
Is it terrible that I would have been much more appreciative of a Kohl's or Target gift card?
(or 2 Broadway tickets?!!)
-
I also went and had my eyes examined this evening - I need a new prescription
-
Well time to do something productive

LATERS!

So, I went off to bell choir practice at church tonight and was greeted with a locked door. It was quickly opened by the choir director, who informed me that there had been a shooting in the neighborhood. Two people had been shot and the gunman was on the loose. Needless to say, it made for a short and tense rehearsal.
-
So, just before Advent service, a couple of armed police officers came in to the church to have a look around. They left just as the service was starting.
-
After the service, I walked a friend to her car because we had no idea what had happened in the intervening hour. As we reached her car, we heard a "Pop, pop, pop" series coming from the apartment complex, which was in the opposite direction of the church from the area in which the shooting had first occurred. Then a short silence followed by another round of pops.
One police car and one unmarked car pulled up immediately in front of the apartment complex and the drivers got out, but no lights were turned on.
I walked to my car and drove past, but haven't any idea if the gunman's been caught or not.
-
Here's the only news story I found:
San Antonio police and the San Antonio Fire Department responded to a shooting in the 15000 block of Spring Mist, on the city's northeast side.
The call came in at around 5:45 p.m. Wednesday.
SAPD says a 48-year-old Asian male shot two people. Police are searching for the suspect who was last seen leaving the location just west of Nacogdoches, between O'Connor and Judson.
Witnesses said the suspect appeared to be covered in blood.
-
I shall now be on my way to sup with Jason Graae and I should think we'd better have a frenzy or three while I am doing so.
-
I've written half of a third set of liner notes. It's so hard to do three in a row like this, but we're now hoping we can get three titles approved before everyone leaves for Christmas vacation. If we can, then I'd have my first release of 2013, too, which would be great.
-
Very cute DR John G. Thank you.
-
I guess you needed the cute photo after your scary evening.
-
Macy's has been having an incredible on-line sale. I'm glad I get updates from them.
-
Yikes, DR John G! I'm glad you're home safe!
-
Yikes, DR John G! I'm glad you're home safe!
Me, too. I like my drama kept to the stage.
-
Last night, a group of friends and I went to see "Reservoir Dogs" on the big screen! I hadn't seen it before, but since Theater Artists Olympia will be doing a stage adaptation in April, I thought that I should join the gang and see what it's all about. Only a couple of other people (our of our group of about 12) hadn't seen it, either. Everyone else had, and most, not in a theater. Pretty much everyone loved it. It was violent, but I only see it as movie violence...what ususally goes through my mind is how well (or not) the special effects are. ;)
-
After that, most of us went out to a local pizza place for a late dinner. I had a calzone with pepperoni, pineapple and cashews (which is also my favorite kind of pizza) and it was delish! I should've saved half of it for dinner tonight, but I just couldn't stop.
-
I'm done with "The Voice".
The final four were announced last night and one of the competition's two best singers was sent home, with two of the final four "inexplicably" popular with the public (my take on it).

Either David or Pope should have been sent home instead of Brown (again, IMO).
Without Brown, it's a washout for me. If Hunte doesn't win, it will be a crying shame.
I don't watch this show, but my mom also mentioned to me that she could not believe that all the good people were getting voted out. Although she says there is one person she thinks is talented and loves. It's a girl who she says is really pretty. I'm not sure if only one person on your list is female.
-
Tonight (in a few minutes, actually), I'm leaving to see a local production of Nuncrackers at Capital Playhouse (http://www.capitalplayhouse.com/). They've finally hired a new managing director and it's none other than Lauren O'Neill, who played Yoni in TAO's production of BK's very own The Brain From Planet X! I'm sure that she'll be a great asset to the company. :D
-
My niece was very excited that someone else in her class celebrates Chanukah. So I asked which one of the girl's parents was Jewish. And she thinks neither. Is that common for a family to celebrate a holiday like this? She said she thinks they are from England.

I read that this morning. :'( A couple of years ago, my sister and I took our dad to see Dave Brubeck perform at Seattle's Jazz Alley. My dad never thought that he'd ever get a chance to see him perform live and it was a fabulous concert.

I was in the middle of trying to write a story for my website and the blasted sight crashed. Thankfully, I have a copy of the story. >:(

I know a small number of Christian families who celebrate Hanukkah because of the miracle at the center of the story. They may not do it for eight nights, but they light a menorah and eat fried foods and chocolate gelt.

Last night caught the last 15 minutes or so of Taxi Driver. I knew what was going to happen, but I forgot how violent it was and was somewhat jarring. Blood color was toned down originally so not to get an X rating. For the blu-ray release they tried to final the original negative to make it more red but the footage was missing. It is still a very potent film all these years later.

The girls thought they were beautiful --- I guess it's like the Coach bags -- I never saw the attraction there either ---
It was a very generous gift and I know he put a lot of thought into it - apparently these are THE watch to have this year --- I just ain't got no taste and style

Well, I got my nap. I'd mostly forgotten about my lack of sleep last night, feeling fine through the afternoon, then I had a little food and sat down to watch a movie. Made it through about ten minutes before I found myself nodding off. This couldn't have been much later than 6:30 pm. I went to my bed and laid down, intending to catch a quick nap, and suddenly it was 10:45 pm.

Today at work I received 2 very expensive gifts from one of my clients - a watch and a wallet
the young woman (the ones in their 20's & 30's) were besides themselves with envy and admiration ....
not only do I not have a CLEW about this apparently latest MUST HAVE designer - I think the watch is ugly and the wallet is ordinary and less practical and useful than my $3 nylon wallet
I feel like an ingrate....
Sell them on ebay and donate the money to Sandy Relief Fund

Hello, everyone.
Sorry I missed TCB.

Tonight (in a few minutes, actually), I'm leaving to see a local production of Nuncrackers at Capital Playhouse (http://www.capitalplayhouse.com/). They've finally hired a new managing director and it's none other than Lauren O'Neill, who played Yoni in TAO's production of BK's very own The Brain From Planet X! I'm sure that she'll be a great asset to the company. :D
And I went to school with Lauren's mother. And we are still friends

Vixmom, I can easily relate to your sense of practicality, but some people feel that "practical" gifts are a bit insulting, that gifts should be a splurge. I wonder if this client has observed how hard you work and wanted to treat you to something you wouldn't buy yourself. (Well, he was right there!)
Michael Kors is indeed a very popular designer these days. I bought myself a Michael Kors handbag a couple years ago after much shopping. It was actually a good value. And I am NOT a trendy type.

Oh, good, I didn't miss TCB. Hi, Tom.
-
Thank you to DRs TCB and Vixmom for their nice comments about our DN/G Lauren's certification. In addition to securing her professional future, yesterday's news provided me some much-needed inspiration for a Christmas present for her.
You're buying her a sports team?
;D ;D Good one.

Or sell them and buy yourself something that you really do like.

I guess I did miss TCB.
Good night!

Wait Jeanne. I'm here.

So, I went to Mo's to meet Jason for dinner. He'd told me his mom might be joining us plus a surprise person. I get there, and Jason's already there. The waitress walks us to the back room to a table and as I'm asking him who the special guest person is my eyes go to this huge crowd who suddenly all shout "SURPRISE!" I couldn't believe it - brilliantly done - a surprise early birthday party for ME. So many wonderful people there to celebrate - Jason, the Staitman family, Jenna Rosen and her mom, Rita McKenzie, Joan Ryan, Karen Morrow, Dennis Kyle, Jane Noseworthy and hubby, Lisa Livesay, Adryan Russ (who devised the party with Jason), helper Heather, Susanne Blakeslee, Kevin Symons, the Wechters, Adryan's hubby Dale, Kevin Bailey, Doug Haverty, Jason's ever-lovin' Glen, Kay Cole - I hope I'm not forgetting anybody but it was a little overwhelming. It was so much fun! More in the notes.

I am sorry that I missed Jeanne. Nicky came into the bedroom and he wasn't happu that I was on the laptop. So I had to turn off the computer and pay the little guy some attention.

That is fantastic, BK, I wish I could have been there. Did anyone take photos?

Well, my work here is done.

Many photos - people are sending them to me. The cake was unbelievable and has to be seen - the cover of my book, Album Produced By.
