I am very pleased to have received this email this morning:

Hello. How do you feel my master?
I want to be your  servant which is  ready to make all your dreams come true. My name is Imelda. I am young, gorgeous and I adore to experiment with sex like BDSM, roleplaying and other. I am sure that sex is about expressiveness and not only about missionary pose, do you agree with me?
I am looking for a man who is able to satisfy me fully, you know what I mean, don't ?) If you ready to eliminate any boundaries and ready to experience the most fervent desire and best sex in your life then don't hesitate and write me back as soon as you can! I am already waiting!
Can't wait to hear from you!
Yours, Imelda

Hi!
I'm Ethelyn and I randomly choose different people in order to find interesting ones and meet in what follows.
I suppose you are not afraid of such things. So, I'll be first. I'm rather communicable and open to people.
I'm sure that everyone has something peculiar about himself. So what's special about u??)) What r ur interests?:)
I am sorry, I've got to go now but I rely on you;) I hope you'll have some free time to write me answer. Please do it)))
Waiting for your answer!

DR VIXMOM - I got the IPA17 which is good for medium to large rooms.....  Reviews at Amazon can be misleading.  I think some of the people having trouble are forgetting to adjust the volume of their IPODS.....  Everyone raves about its outdoor performance.  I will know a bit more once I use it outside my house.

Everyone who has used it seems to be happy with it.  I know I am.  BUT if you are thinking about a gymnasium sized room, you might look at the IPA57 which has a bit more power.

I think they have them at COSTCO, if you have one in your area.

Good morning, all!

I've been awake for about an hour, the laundry is in the washers, and I am on my first cup of coffee. Yesterday, we lost my first choice for the role of the dying Madame Roberta, so I'm now running through mind for an English mezzo or alto of an uncertsain age, who can handle dialogue and  can break your heart singing "Yesterdays."  This ismy weekend assignment.

Today, I plan to finish the laundry, mopthe kitchen and bathroom, tidy and vacuum, and continue the tax receipt tallies. Around 4pm, I'll run down to the City Center to say hello to friends who've come into town for FIORELLO! Tonight, I'll watch a few episodes of DOWNTON ABBEY.

Yesterday, at Toyland, I picked up the 3/20/2003 edits for the unreleased BABES IN TOYLAND, brought them home and downloaded them. I think it's much better than the download I already had.  I still have problems with some of McGlinn's cast and approach, but it's the best I've heard it.

Had the conversation with Muse Margaret and she's fine with everything I mentioned to her in terms of my little fixes.  But the most interesting thing is, where she wanted me to sit on this book for a while she now wants me to get it out there as quickly as possible.  The change is because she's watching a teen girl and she's talked about the book to her and the timeliness of this particular book is so on the money it's just silly to hold it back until September.

On April 9, in conjunction with Fox, the Twilight Time "limited edition" label will release a Blu-ray of Peter Bogdanovitch's infamous 1975?flop?AT LONG LAST LOVE, a "tribute" to '30s screwball comedies using Cole Porter songs sung live by Cybil Shepard, Burt Reynolds, Madeline Kahn, Eileen Brennan, and the rest of the cast.?

Entered all my fixes, and have sent the book off to one proofer via e-mail, and will have two hard copies, one of which goes to the other proofer, in the morning.  I made one other change at the last minute - I wasn't in love with where the penultimate chapter ended - it never felt right to me, and this morning I figured out why and a new place to end it - I ran it by Muse Margaret and she liked it much better ending the new way.

I quickly went through the Natalie Wood DVD box set which I got recently. I was surprised at how many of them I'd not seen before. I didn't expect to enjoy "Bombers B-52" but really enjoyed it. I also enjoyed "Splendour in the Grass" which again was rather different to what I expected. The ending reminded me slightly of the end of "Umbrellas of Cherbourg" but with nowhere near the same emotional punch as the French film. "Inside Daisy Clover" was just...wierd! "Sex and the Single Girl" was absolutely awful and what the lengthy unfunny slapstick car chase was doing, tacked onto the finale, I don't know. But what a sad loss the lovely Natalie Wood was.

I've been awake for about an hour, the laundry is in the washers, and I am on my first cup of coffee. Yesterday, we lost my first choice for the role of the dying Madame Roberta, so I'm now running through mind for an English mezzo or alto of an uncertsain age, who can handle dialogue and  can break your heart singing "Yesterdays."  This ismy weekend assignment.



Best of luck finding your perfect Madame Roberta!!!

The floor's are mopped, I've sorta tidied, and it's almost 2:00! I have to start tallying receipts.

I just got invited to appear on an NPR station in West Windsor, NJ, and talk about EILEEN and this recording project.  I'm looking into how to gettherefrom Trenton.

Nice!

I am back from City Center. I got to visit with Rob's wonderful parents for about 30 minutes and that was nice.  They are really fantastic parents, and I beleve they've become my surrogates.

Before I left, I spent some time working on the Madame Roberta/Aunt Minnie problem.  For the past two years, Helmut Fischer, who represents a lot of opera singers, has sent me emails asking "Anything on the recording for Y_______?" She is an aging soprano I really like, The problem is, Aunt Minnie's song "Yesterdays" is for a bass.  So, I had Curtis transpose the song from E-minor to G-minor and I sent a copy of the song to Dublin, telling them to contact Helmut on Monday and see if Y__________  was interested and to look over the song.  I've been expecting an email from Helmut about her because I've asked them to see if his client Eamonn Mulhall, our leading man on EILEEN, is available to sing Ladislaw the Doorman..

Weather - it would be fine, I think, if we lived close to church, but it there could be black ice at 7am.  Not worth it.  I wasn't planning to go because I'm still coughing and my ear hurts.  Yes, I'm calling the ENT on Monday.

George and anyone else who loves this movie as much as we do. I saw this posted on Castreql:

OMG!!!!? On April 9, in conjunction with Fox, the Twilight Time "limited edition" label will release a Blu-ray of Peter Bogdanovitch's infamous 1975?flop?AT LONG LAST LOVE, a "tribute" to '30s screwball comedies using Cole Porter songs sung live by Cybil Shepard, Burt Reynolds, Madeline Kahn, Eileen Brennan, and the rest of the cast.? This release will be available *exclusively* through Screen Archives.

So, they misspelled Cybill's name, the movie is finally arriving.

COOL!!  I expect also that it will FINALLY be in widescreen! :D

I'm watching DOWNTON ABBEY from where we left off last Sunday, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't be watching all of the episodes to see what was cut by PBS.

I do not understand, though, why we have to watch Laura Linney and that idiotic modernization of the original series' baroque music at the beginning of every damned disc. That's time out of my existence I'll never get back.

The we brought Dad home and went to a gathering at our church -  the Vixter sang  with a group that led us in song and then the retired pastor that is one of our members gave a little talk and then we all moved to the social hall for snacks and coffee and a Bible study.

About 30 of us showed up and it was really a very pleasant evening

I am looking for a man who is able to satisfy me fully, you know what I mean, don't ?) If you ready to eliminate any boundaries and ready to experience the most fervent desire and best sex in your life then don't hesitate and write me back as soon as you can! I am already waiting!
Can't wait to hear from you!

DR VIXMOM - I got the IPA17 which is good for medium to large rooms.....  Reviews at Amazon can be misleading.  I think some of the people having trouble are forgetting to adjust the volume of their IPODS.....  Everyone raves about its outdoor performance.  I will know a bit more once I use it outside my house.

Everyone who has used it seems to be happy with it.  I know I am.  BUT if you are thinking about a gymnasium sized room, you might look at the IPA57 which has a bit more power.

I think they have them at COSTCO, if you have one in your area.

I actually have  3 Costcos and 2 BJ's  in very close proximity to the home environment _ I sahll ahev to do some investigating

Had the conversation with Muse Margaret and she's fine with everything I mentioned to her in terms of my little fixes.  But the most interesting thing is, where she wanted me to sit on this book for a while she now wants me to get it out there as quickly as possible.  The change is because she's watching a teen girl and she's talked about the book to her and the timeliness of this particular book is so on the money it's just silly to hold it back until September. 

Oh good!  So we shall see it  sooner rather than later I hope!!

Tom, I'm still looking around and haven't decided yet where we will go later in the year. England is on the list, a cruise to the Caribbean, perhaps, a self-catering cottage in the U.S. Virgin Islands or maybe swimming with dolphins. I'm researching all these things and will decide soon.

I also have to renew my passport for everything but swimming with dolphins.

I can use the $40 toward the cost of the trip.

Apparently, there are a great many ospreys to be seen this year.

well I am glad to see at least one bird survived your fiendish boat building rampage -  are there any dolphins left?

The water was cold but inviting today, though the sight of jellyfish along the beach was not so welcome.

they're good  with peanutbutterfish

Haven't had peanutbutterfish, Vixmom, but I have eaten jellyfish before. Don't need to go there again.

There are plenty of dolphins, but none put in an appearance today. Bummer.

Still, it was a beautiful day on the water. And it started early. So, I'm exhausted and will say good night, all.

Tomorrow's service at Holy Nativity, Lima, has been cancelled.  Not that I was planning on going...


Why was the service cancelled?  Is your weather really bad?

I just finished watching "Rock of Ages," that I got from Netflix.  I ushered for the tour a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed that.  I wanted to see the movie to compare and I actually enjoyed that as well. :)

What is a self-catering cottage?
Where can you swim with the dolphins?

You might also want to check into swimming with the stingrays in Grand Cayman.

I'm home from a long day.  Tomorrow doesn't look much shorter with church in the morning, Legally Blonde in the afternoon and a super bowl party when the show is over.  Maybe Tuesday I can sleep.

I think we're shooting for late April for the book - part of this will depend on designer Grant Geissman, as he has a deadline on his own book and can't really do any serious work on mine for six weeks.  But it will probably take three weeks for me to get my two proofers' comments, then enter the fixes that Margaret and I agree on, and it will give me time to gather blurbs, too.  As long as the book is finished by end of March or even first week of April, we can have it at the end of April.
