Well, you've read the notes, the notes were protective, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're lucky to have their own protective MOOS.

And the word of the day is: GORGONIZE!

Morning all.
That is all.
-
good morning to all.
-
The wrong date on today's notes. I am sure by the next time I look it will be taken care of and this post will become redundant.
-
Good morning, all.
Get-well-soon vibes for DRs Ginny, Ron Pulliam and anyone else in need.

The Hounds of The Baskerville (Peter Cushing & Christopher Lee)
Murder By Decree (Christopher Plummer & James Mason and many others)

TOD: I loved reading the Sherlock Holmes mysteries when I was a kid. I wonder if I would still like them now? Anyway, "A Study in Scarlet" was my favorite of the series. I also loved the Basil Rathbone film series, except for the one where they went to Washington. And I'm really enjoying the new Sherlock series with Benedict Cumberbatch.

I did manage to find the time to listen to one cd yesterday.

I've discussed the book with two close friends and I've got a clearer picture of things now - really helps to talk it out. I'm going to make some small character tweaks that probably won't even involve a total of ten or fifteen lines and that will be it. I will decide on how long to sit on it - it wouldn't be out before May anyway, and I might just wait until September, but I feel I've discussed the little issue this book might have in terms of the one character and I feel that with the tweaks I'm going to be fine with it. I think the book tells an interesting story and there's a good lesson in there and that's very important to me.
Good idea to discuss it with others. I would make the changes and then maybe have someone else read it other than Margaret. The only reason i suggest this is because sometimes it is easier for someone to read the thing for themselves vs you trying to explain the thing that might upset people.

Still frigid here. I think just today and tomorrow. Then Saturday and Sunday will still be quite cold. But by Monday it should be regular winter temps.

Feel better DR Sam!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I watched a cute comedy last night. Pitch Perfect. IT's about some college kids who are in acapella groups that compete. It stars Anna Kendrick and Brittany Snow.

This morning, I quipped: "I should enter a triathlon".
And, my wife responded: "That would be: Stand up. Walk into another room. Sit down."

TOD:
THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES and THE SCARLET CLAW, both with Basil Rathbone.
Would you expect me to answer anything else?
::)
-
Actually, I also like:
WITHOUT A CLUE
MURDER BY DECREE
THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES with Peter Cushing
-
WITHOUT A CLUE with Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley is, in fact, one of my all time favorite comedies.
-
We watched SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS last night.
It's very funny; written and directed by the same guy who did IN BRUGES.
Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken and Woody Harrelson are terrific.
-
Good morning, all!
Either I got to bed too late or I took the sleeping pill too late because the body did not want to leave my bed this morning. I'm usually in bed by 10pm, but last night it was closer to midnight, and I'm rather out of joint about it. So, I believe I will stay inside this morning and work on my taxes. Toyland can wait till tomorrow.
More coffee!
-
Good morning.
-
Thursday morning greetings! My goal all week was to be recovered enough to attend my book group tonight, but I have failed. Just sent my regrets via email to the hostess :-\
-
The only Sherlock Holmes story I have read is THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES.....and I enjoy ALL of the versions of that movie.
And I do think that Basil Rathbone was the best movie Sherlock.
I have never seen a Sherlock Holmes play.
-
There is always next time DR GINNY.
-
TOD:
SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE PEARL OF DEATH was always my favorite Sherlock Holmes movie, and I guess it still is.
-
I think I may do the laundry this afternoon so I can spend tomorrow and Saturday at Toyland.
I thought that Peter Cushng resembled most my vision of Sherlock Holmes, but i've also liked the Jeremy Brett series, and Ian Richardson, whom I've admired since MARAT/SADE. It was a pleasure working with him and Ia Mackellan in 2001 on BABES IN TOYLAND. I'm happy that I got a chance to tell Richardson what a wonderful Henry Higgins he was in the 1976 revival of MY FAIR LADY.

Moving right along.

Good late - VERY LATE - morning, all.
Cats not only got me up earlier than usual, but once up, there was: No internet. This was due to some "major event" that (Comcast hastened to assure me) was "unplanned". But here it is now, and here I am.

Film: Early Basil Rathbone films.
PRIVATE LIFE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES
TV: Douglas Wilmer BBC TV series
Book: THE SIGN OF FOUR
-
The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (Slightly flawed because of studio cutting. One day the whole version will show up)
DR Mike - you're more of an optimist than I am ;D
-
TOD:
Many years ago I read all the Holmes stories and greatly enjoyed most of them, but a couple of favorites were the ones that take place in the U.S. -- the Gold Rush one and isn't there one around Salt Lake City? Oy! You can see how much of it I've retained over the years. It's a little embarrassing. I have one of those big annotated sets and every time I glance at it I vow to reread them all.
As far as films go, I'm even more delinquent. There are many I haven't seen. With such scant experience in these matters, I'll fall back on Rathbone as my standard Holmes, but definitely Cushing, too, in BASKERVILLES.
-
TOD - I am not a big Sherlock Holmes fan, but I am married to one. Of all the SH we've watched together, I don't think I could tell one story from another.
-
TOD:
Fav Sherlock film: my own 1983 version of HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES with Ian Richardson, which Leonard Maltin called: "The best version of the Doyle classic to date."
Fav Sherlock play: my own THE EBONY APE...followed a close second by CRUCIFER OF BLOOD
Fav Sherlock story: probably HOUND, though I also like SIGN OF FOUR (which I also adpated with Richardson as Holmes), and VALLEY OF FEAR.
Fav Sherlock actor: Jeremy Brett, because he was the truest to the character and not afraid to make Holmes thoroughly disagreeable and waspish, as he could often people.
Fav re-invention of Sherlock: SHERLOCK TV series with Benedict Cumberbatch. Remarkably faithful in tone and spirit to Doyle.
-

DR Mike - you're more of an optimist than I am ;D
Unlikely, they'll find the missing bits and I'm not sure that it would be an improvement. There is a dvd that has tried to re-assemble the missing bits with photos and soundtrack dialogue. Having watched it, I'm just not sure that it all doesn't just distract from the main story. Still there is much to like in this uneven film...AND MIKLOS ROZSA SCORE IS CERTAINLY THE BEST SHERLOCK MOVIE SCORE EVER and one of the best movie scores, period.

I'm up. It dribbled rain all night. Still gray out but it will probably be sunshine in a few minutes - who knows.

I like the current SHERLOCK on television as mentioned by DR CHARLES POGUE.
AND I like the current two SHERLOCK HOLMES movies with Robert Downey Jr & Jude Law.....although they have strayed FAR from the original SH in their execution.....but both actors are enjoyable and the stories are fast-moving and funny....
-
I am enjoying reading about MR BK's writing ...

I am looking for a nice MP3 player with a touchscreen.....not an IPOD.....but nothing gets very good reviews, and I don't want a piece of junk.....so the search continues.

TOD:
Favorite Stories (of those I've read): A STUDY IN SCARLETT, HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES
Favorite movies: I like just about all of the Basil Rathbone films. In fact, the Sherlock Holmes movies were my introduction to Basil Rathbone, so I'm always taken aback a bit when he otherwise turns up as a villian in other movies.
I also enjoy THE SEVEN PERCENT SOLUTION and the Benedict Cumberbatch series.

Good morning, all!
Back at work. Survived yesterday.
Sleep is problematic as I'm having sweats.
I can sleep, but I wake up when the sweats turn cold. I'm blaming the antibiotics I'm taking twice a day for spurring my body toward a feverish state during the night, but I have to get up, put my pillow into the dryer, change my shirt and generally "wake up" until I can comfortably return to bed. I did this three times last night. It's getting old.
Otherwise, I'm feeling better as it turns out.
Looking forward to the weekend!!!
-
Glad RLP is feeling better!

DR Jeanne thank you for the sleep remedy suggestions. I will look into them later today. I had a decent, for me, sleep last night.

'tried to re-assemble the missing bits' is the title of the second book in my autobiographical trilogy.

Better housing vibes for DR Jeanne!!!

And 'We are getting your dribbles now, BK' is the title of the third and final book in the series.

DR Jane, you really ought to go and see a sleep specialist, I know I am glad I did. I can't begin to describe how much better I feel now that I have been treating the sleep apnea for just a little over 1 year now.
Along with feeling more awake, energetic, and productive. my blood sugars are now in the normal range, my Cholesterol is improved, and I don't get lost when I drive (as much, anyhow).
-
DR Vixmom, Keith had a good chuckle over this one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo2YPNhqLoA Thanks. I've seen it before and it was still fun to watch again.

My entire family has sleep problems. My father did a sleep study and was fine. Maybe my next visit to the doctor I will discuss this. I'm glad you are doing so well.

Back from Costco -- where I didn't find what I went there for, but couldn't stop myself from getting the STUDIO ONE ANTHOLOGY on DVD for thirty smackers.

Speaking of Sherlock Holmes:
I just received the proof for my Basil Rathbone play.

I have a nice player - it is the touchscreen that I am interested in.... I like my COBY with 8 GB of storage.....but touchscreen seems like it would be easier to use.

I have not watched the new ELEMENTARY series, but perhaps I shall. I like Jonny Lee Miller.

Nice. I bought the "Lost Empires" series the last time I was there. But I don't know when I'll have time to watch it.

Back from printing out the manuscript so I can begin my pass through it, finding typos and fixing stuff. Then had a sandwich and no fries or onion rings. Juliana Hansen should be here at one for a chat - I haven't heard a peep from her about how the show went last Saturday night. Then I get an e-mail that she'd like to come by for a chat about it, which sounds vague and weird to me, but we'll see what she has to say. I will express my feelings about getting vague and weird e-mails.

Sleep studies have likely progressed from when you father had one. You should see a doctor about it, rather than continue to suffer. It might not be Sleep Apnea, but some other sleep problem that can be corrected.
Wow, now I sound just like DR Jane! LOL!

iPods don't come with apps, you purchase them separately. However, there are other apps that would be useful to you. I realize they aren't cheap, but they will last forever.

I diligently went to bed relatively early last night, only to be awakened at 5 am by a drip, drip, drip. It was raining and sometimes the eaves drip, but this sounded suspiciously like it was coming from the kitchen, so I got up and checked it out. Yup. A leak in the ceiling. We were lucky the roofer was willing to come out right away and he has now come and gone. No drip, drip, drip. I truly hope it stays that way.
DR MBarnum, do the sleep docs deal with leaky ceilings or noisy neighbors? If so, I'd like to see one myself!

I read the Sherlock Holmes stories as an adult and loved them. To me, Jeremy Brett WAS SH. I didn't care for the Downey/Law SH, but I love SHERLOCK. I know some people don't like it, and I can understand that. I don't usually like anyone messing with my old favorites. But it's done so cleverly that it won me over.

I have not watched the new ELEMENTARY series, but perhaps I shall. I like Jonny Lee Miller.
Just when I think I'm going to drop this show there is an excellent episode, such as the one we just watched. In comparison there has only been one episode of the British series SHERLOCK we weren't thrilled with.
-
Obviously if we weren't Sherlock Holmes fans we would not have named our dog after him. Since his official name was SILVER BLAZE we have a fondness for the story.
When we were first married it seemed every Sunday afternoon a different Basil Rathbone Holmes movie was on. It was then, watching with Keith, that I became a fan & began reading the novels. I have the complete works on my Nook and read a bit here and there in-between other novels.

The thought of driving to Medford at night to have people watch me is very unappealing. Do they let you read if that is your normal method of falling to sleep or would I have to lie there for hours waiting to fall asleep?

Speaking of Medford.....I skipped the gym today and drove to Barnes and Noble to get my grand nephew super hero books for his birthday.

They actually make you feel very, very comfortable. I was worried that I would have difficulty falling asleep, but the room was so nice and comfy that I had absolutely no problem. It was really a very interesting experience, not unpleasant at all....well, until the bill arrived!

The 1962 Bollywood film BEES SAAL BAAD is a version of HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES...and a good, spooky one also. No Sherlock Holmes in it, but there is a police detective character.
You can watch it with subtitles here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jqgY6odgLc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jqgY6odgLc)
Of course, if you don't want to watch the entire movie (although I don't know why you wouldn't), just watch the first couple of minutes...very vintage 1930s Universal-like atmosphere going on there!

I didn't realize that. It seems like something bigoted like that would be taken down automatically. One would think a petition shouldn't even be necessary.

Speaking of Medford.....I skipped the gym today and drove to Barnes and Noble to get my grand nephew super hero books for his birthday.
How far is the B & N? How come you drove there instead of ordering the books online?

Well, I'm off. I'm ushering for Whose Live Anyway? (http://wcpa.squarespace.com/upcoming-events/2013/1/24/whose-live-anyway.html) and I can't wait! The last time that they were here, I ushered and it was one of the funniest things that I've seen. They're hysterical!! ;D

Chip Esten was supposed to be on this tour, but he's now going by the name of Charles Esten and is on a little show called "Nashville (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2281375/)" with Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere.
Until later!

It doesn't make sense. I know that it also takes a lot of people marking it as spam, which is understandable. It wouldn't be right for one or two people to have that kind of power.

You would think nothing could have the F word as part of the group name.

It is a half hour drive, mostly on the freeway. At least our freeways aren't overly busy.
I wanted to look at the books to know what I was getting & then have them gift wrapped in birthday paper. I'll put them in a priority envelope tomorrow & mail them along with the cute birthday card I found. My shipping cost won't be much more than the sales tax in California. Oregon doesn't have a sales tax.

DR George, have fun.

I'm here all alone. Guess I'll go wash the dinner dishes.

T.O.D.
Favorite Films: All of the Basil Rathbone / Nigel Bruce SHERLOCK films, even the Nazi ones.
Favorite play: CRUCIFER OF BLOOD - Because I enjoyed doing the show, and because it was my college roommate's first Broadway show.
-
And 'We are getting your dribbles now, BK' is the title of the third and final book in the series.
And who will be playing you in the film versions? Andy Devine is dead.

Tonight I watched LILITH for my first time ever. Wow. What a find. I wonder why this one didn't come to my attention at whatever tender age I was at when it was released.

Tomorrow morning is the Cowboy Breakfast. Must be up way too early.
Night, all.

TOD:
I read the Sherlock Holmes stories as an adult and loved them. To me, Jeremy Brett WAS SH. I didn't care for the Downey/Law SH, but I love SHERLOCK. I know some people don't like it, and I can understand that. I don't usually like anyone messing with my old favorites. But it's done so cleverly that it won me over.
We are open to, and have watched, many of the movies that take great liberties with the Sherlock characters. I found that my die-hard friends who don't like any of the non-traditional themes are fans of the tv show SHERLOCK.
Is that the series with the actor with the strange name.......... Buttcheeks, or something like that?
-
The 1962 Bollywood film BEES SAAL BAAD is a version of HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES...and a good, spooky one also. No Sherlock Holmes in it, but there is a police detective character.
You can watch it with subtitles here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jqgY6odgLc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jqgY6odgLc)
Of course, if you don't want to watch the entire movie (although I don't know why you wouldn't), just watch the first couple of minutes...very vintage 1930s Universal-like atmosphere going on there!
Can't I get it dubbed?

Is the recording of Bacharach/David The Flip Side a soundtrack or a studio recording?
Whatever it is, is it something Kritzerland can release?
It's owned by Universal, so it can't be us. It's been out twice in Japan on CD and while it's pricey it's worth it. It's the soundtrack to the TV show.

What a busy little day this has been. Had a nice chat with Juliana about her show, which she felt went well but not as well as The Federal, mainly due to it being such a different kind of venue - had I been able to go up there with her, I could have made some adjustments and helped her, but alas, I could not, all due to the outrageous air fares to Oakland. Terrible. I'd had my sandwich and no fries prior to that, so then I picked up one package and came back home. Then my pal David Wechter came by and we had a nice chat, and then Shelly Markham came (he's the musical director for the singer) and brought a surprise visitor with him - my friend Gene Castle. We all had the best time yakking - David hadn't met either Shelly or Gene so he had fun, too. Then the singer arrived and we still yakked on. Then David and Gene left and we began work, which more about in the notes.
-
It was a long three-hour rehearsal and a good one. Then Shelly and I went over to the local CPK and I had the cedar plank salmon (600 calories) so I only had about 1100 calories for the day, pretty good.
-
No time to watch motion pictures this evening, I'm afraid.
-
Juliana performed here in the Bay Area recently?

10? 11? 12?

Juliana performed near Oakland on Saturday night. Maybe Walnut Creek? Is that a place?

Why did Juliana send such a weird e-mail?
-
She doesn't realize she's doing it - many people who send e-mails don't actually read them before pressing send. I've certainly been guilty of it.
-
I gotta tell you.
-

Yes. Walnut Creek is a place. I wish I would have know, I would have made tracks to be there
-
I should have put it up here - it never occurs to me to do so.

Well, I think my work here is done.
G'night!

Listening once again to one of our Feb releases, maybe one of the most compulsively addictive listening experiences ever.

It was a great show and an almost full audience...over 800 tickets pre-sold. A good time was had by all. :D

And then I came home and my cat threw up. :P
