TOD: Texting. I  like it as a way of leaving a message for someone. But I don't like real-time back-and-forth texting.

Good morning, all.

Feel better vibes for Sam and all in need.

The rains have begun. I don't know how hard the rains are going to get, just that by the time it's over, 4 to 6 inches are supposed to have fallen over the next two days.

A third vote for TEXTING. 

It has taken the evolution of the Internet close to 20 years to irrevocably change life as we knew it.  But in the overall scheme of things we gained much as we lost much. 

Texting is nothing but dangerous (in all senses of the word) clutter with no essential, redeeming feature.

Good morning, all! I'm having a really tough time getting started this morning.

Last night, I had a lot of strange dreams with a lot of strange dead folk: Laurence Olivier, my mother, and others. In my last dream, I was walking down a fire escape.

So, I'm having my coffee and trying to get my energy up to move downtown.

I'm against cell phones that permit one to do everything from texting to googling, and I don't understand everyone's need to check them before making a move.  I don't understand all these asses on the subway who, when their stop comes up, rush to the door to be first off the train and then slow down to check their phones so that everyone behind them must slow down.

I just ran into the rental agent for our office, and he told me that the company across the hall was evicted and that the space was disgusting. He's hoping to rent it out soon,  so the crews will be in next week to begin cleanup and repair.

WARM-AIR HAND DRYERS

Does anyone like them? They are awful. Noisy; take ages to dry your hands; not as efficient as towels; studies have shown they are not as hygenic as towels. They are a backward step and are only installed because they are cheaper - not because they are better.

There are new high-powered ones that actually get the job done within seconds, and I do love USING them.  But it's a guilty, selfish love.  Have you ever been near a large busy public restroom that has a whole lot of them?  Oh my god.  From far away in other parts of the building you hear a constant roar, which only gets more deafening as you near the restroom itself.  I found this to be the case in an interstate service plaza recently, and if adopted by places like movie theaters with large restrooms, it's going to be a problem.

So, there are now greatly improved ones, at the expense of being serious noise polluters.  Interestingly, Grand Central Terminal had a couple of those several months back, and I found them replaced with the bad old weak ineffective ones a couple of weeks ago.

Anyone who enjoys a good mystery should love "Chinatown." It's a cracking good yarn with one of the best screenplays ever. That last part might make some think it's pretentious or dull. Far from it. It really is a great piece of entertainment.

I don't see "getting" any of it, period, if one hasn't seen the movie.  I suppose one might smile at a well-known reference or two, but -- trust us, you ain't getting it!   :)

I mean, a lot of people have some general sense of what Travis Bickle's "You looking at me?" is in reference to, but ... still, not really.

I would have gotten it from having read the MAD magazine version of Chinatown as a kid -- my access to it since the movie was rated R and verboten to me at the time.

The only way I remember "Ya talkin' to me" is because I had a clueless coworker who kept saying that all the time. You'd be in the middle of a conversation with him, he'd lose his place and just blurt that line out. We never knew if we were talking to Ted or to Travis Bickle. It was really rather funny.

My reasons for not having yet seen CHINATOWN are that the 70s use to be my least favorite decade for films, and because this particular film stars people I have never liked much, so I never sought it out.

But now that the 80s are my least favorite decade for film, and the 70s are starting to feel nostalgic.....but, before I get to Chinatown I have a lot of Blaxploitation and "women in prison" movies from that era to watch first.  :)

Still dealing with it, or rather the web guy is.  It's a little nutty to me but it should all be taken care of soon.  The department we're dealing with ONLY deals via e-mail and they respond to e-mails ONLY in the order they're received.  I had my lawyer write that department a strongly-worded little missive just now and when the site is back up then we're either going to move it elsewhere or we're going to have a conversation that will prevent this sort of thing in the future.

It sure comes in handy during emergencies.  At times a quick text beats calling.  It is texting in inappropriate places that is a problem.  I have "rudely" answered my cell phone during emergencies and polity explained the emergency to the person I was rude to.  They always understood.  Fortunately those emergencies haven't happened very often.

Still dealing with it, or rather the web guy is.  It's a little nutty to me but it should all be taken care of soon.  The department we're dealing with ONLY deals via e-mail and they respond to e-mails ONLY in the order they're received.  I had my lawyer write that department a strongly-worded little missive just now and when the site is back up then we're either going to move it elsewhere or we're going to have a conversation that will prevent this sort of thing in the future.

That's ridiculous!  No one should have to deal with problems like that.  Have you found out why it happened?

WARM-AIR HAND DRYERS

Does anyone like them? They are awful. Noisy; take ages to dry your hands; not as efficient as towels; studies have shown they are not as hygenic as towels. They are a backward step and are only installed because they are cheaper - not because they are better.

I hate them.  I've also read that paper towels are more hygienic.

A lot of places here have these new ones that are super loud and super fast. I love them. They zap your hands dry in seconds.

Today, while I took down the outside Christmas decor, I listened to "Chaplin", and I was so sad to hear synth'd timpani all over the score.  Yes, you can tell.  I use it all the time.  Why?  Because I work where there is no budget.  I recently heard a boot of "The Phantom of the Opera" from 1999, about 15 years or so since the first production. Who knows how many times the show was orchestrated since the opening.  Well, anyway, this was a London production and there was a LOT of synth'd timpani, rolls and all.  Back in 1999, the technology wasn't that great, so it all sounded like a bad MIDI file. 

I digress....

As for the cast recording of "Chaplin", I thought it was ok.  I'd like to see the tour to really get into the story.  I thought the songs were kinda elementary, but worked ok.  Probably work much better on the stage than on disk.  I'm going to listen to "Now.

Thank you DR Cilla.  I find it strange you never received my request and that B & N took so long to respond to me, yet you have lent me the book.  The lending library is a nice option & you seems to have some excellent books for lending though I've read most of them.  You liked WAR HORSE, right?

It says I have until the 16th to accept and then 14 days to read it.  I'll wait to accept the offer since I'm only 274 pages into LES MISERABLES and then have to read "WILD: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Coast Trail" before my library takes it back.

Watched "Nightmare Alley" with Tyrone Power and Joan Blondell tonight at friends' house (I think it was my rest on the way home). I almost fell asleep once or twice, but I loved the script. Every time you thought you knew where you were being led, some nice twist occurred.

Bonnie thought that Tyrone looked a lot like George Clooney, and I sort of agreed. While George is the better actor, Tyrone used his eyes to suggest madness quite well.
