Good morning, all! I slept quite poorly last night and I'm trying to cut down on the drugs because they only make things worse in the following morning. 

This morning I head down to City Center to commence work on the last pre-production round of SUPERMAN scores. It will be fun to see Joshie, hear how DONNYBROOK is going, and catch up on gossip.

Tuesday and none of the predicted snow is here.  That is a good thing.  AND two annoying contestants on RuPaul's Drag Race were sent home in a surprise double elimination.....

The IMDB results are "weighted" and they way they calculate them is supposed to keep what has happened from....uh....happening.....but exactly the way they do it will not be disclosed, according to their FAQ page....whatever that means.

But it certainly has been much more peaceful around here without her......

I just sent off an mp3 file of another possible Aunt Minnie to Dublin. Yesterday, I listened to every recording of ROBERTA in my collection: Kitty Carlisle, Portia Nelson, June Bronhill, Lucille Norman, and Marian Bell, and all of the singers playing the Aunt Minnie role sing the song on a key higher than the original. Perhaps this is why the Man from Philadelpha keeps suggesting sopranos for a bass role?

Hmmmmmmm according to my Facebook - Miss Jackie hasn't responded since I put the Kritzerland link up....maybe she will see it today.

She writes a column for her local Toluca Lake newspaper....so I am sure she would talk about the show after she sees it.  You can't get enough good publicity in Toluca Lake....that's for sure.

Something is really weird about IMDb.  On my smartphone this morning, the number of ratings has increased from 11 to 15.  On my computer's browser it's still at 11, and I've refreshed the HELL out of it.

However, a little rating addition I made in the user reviews section IS reflected on the computer, so.....I really don't get it.


EDIT:  But on another browser which I never use, it shows 15 votes.  Okay.  I give up.     :)

I'm glad we watched Downton last night or by now I would have known what happened.  Not having read any news stories prior to the show or after I was surprised.  Keith unfortunately read a headline yesterday that told him.  Really annoying was after the headline it said spoiler alert, don't read any farther if you don't want to know.  He kindly deleted all Downton news from our homepage before I saw it.

I had read a profile of a member of the cast about four months ago that had me primed for what the secret was. But in the past week, I've seen too many Facebook postings revealing information and too many headlines from news agencies such as USA Today and Huffington Post that also gave away too much.

That's a little scary, JRand. But then, the police have my cell phone number, too.

Probably from a "People Connected to This Person...." site that law enforcement agencies can have.....otherwise I don't know how else they would know to call him.  They don't have the same last name.

Now that you've all picked yourselves up off the floor, I'll continue...

I'm finally interested.  Not in spending money on it, just in seeing it.  It looks like it's on Amazon Instant Video, and I have Prime now.  What I'll need to know is if it's all there.  Though I'm generally not interested in streaming, this would seem to be the perfect opportunity to just do it and enjoy.

Had a wonderfully busy 3 day weekend.

Sunday I went to a baby shower type of thing for my former neighbor and his wife who presented their 5 week old baby for all to see. Baby was so cute!

Lots of Indians from India at the event, and I now have a tentative lunch date with a burly Sikh named Sukh.

I haven't watched this week's DOWNTON ABBEY yet, so every time I see "DOWN" in anyone's post, I zoom past.

Wise decision and don't read the news.
I had read a profile of a member of the cast about four months ago that had me primed for what the secret was. But in the past week, I've seen too many Facebook postings revealing information and too many headlines from news agencies such as USA Today and Huffington Post that also gave away too much.

If we could get the series here at the same time as in the UK this wouldn't have happened.

What I have to do is download the parts as .mp4 files, convert them to .mpg files, burn those to a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, play that on a DVD player hooked to my DVD burner and that records them onto a DVD.  Of course, the original files are low quality, and so is the final DVD, but it can be done.

DR MBARNUM Format Factory is a free application that I have used for years.  It converts photos and videos and music files to from just about any format to just about any other format.  It doesn't work with DOCUMENTS.  But it is virus free and has never caused me any problems, nor have I gotten any emails from them.  It does update now and then, but you don't have to do that if you don't want to.  And it's small.

During one of our first trips to Portland after Bryan moved there we stayed at a hotel near the water.  We had to pass the pool to get to our room and the chlorine was so overwhelming I had trouble breathing.  Fortunately our room was ok but to get there I had to cover my face and hold my breath.  When Keith talked to the desk about my problem they didn't care & weren't about to move us.

Had a wonderfully busy 3 day weekend.

Sunday I went to a baby shower type of thing for my former neighbor and his wife who presented their 5 week old baby for all to see. Baby was so cute!

Lots of Indians from India at the event, and I now have a tentative lunch date with a burly Sikh named Sukh.

Sukh the Sikh?  Really?

I have problems with the chemicals, dust, etc during reservations.  I am not a happy camper when I stay at a hotel and they haven't mentioned they are renovating.

During one of our first trips to Portland after Bryan moved there we stayed at a hotel near the water.  We had to pass the pool to get to our room and the chlorine was so overwhelming I had trouble breathing.  Fortunately our room was ok but to get there I had to cover my face and hold my breath.  When Keith talked to the desk about my problem they didn't care & weren't about to move us.

How rude! >:(

At least I was ok once we were in our room.  I would have hated to have insisted they move us or get a refund and change hotels.

Larry, I'm glad you were able to use the application(s) to download!

I'm going to have to check out those programs...the way I do it now is just much too cumbersome.

Those are specifically for Mac computers. I don't know if you have a Mac (I thought you had a Windows PC) but I know Larry does which is why I recommended them. They may have Windows versions of the programs, you'll have to delve further to find out.

I don't have a Mac, so maybe I'm stuck with the way I do things now...for now, at least. :-\

Hell must be freezing over.  I agree with Nancy Grace on something

LOL!

Is she still alive? I thought her head exploded when Casey Anthony was acqutted.


Of course she is still alive.  She has to star in OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL.

Back from rehearsal, which wasn't bad.  Last one I have to play myself.  (Yay!)  (A lot of this score is a thankless task being played alone.) 

Tomorrow night we have the band, and the main challenges will be how to set them up in an upstairs "pit" that makes my bathroom look spacious, and getting their volume under control.  Small theater, and that's always a challenge.  I think our musicians will handle it fine, but it takes a couple of nights to get it.

Went to see "Side Effects" tonight. Strange little movie. Quite enjoyable in many ways, especially the quirky performances of the lead. My friend Bonnie wanted to see the movie, only she didn't know that the plot hinges on anti-depressants. She started giving notes on the effects of certain drugs mentioned in the film. It was rather humorous, but it also exposed a key element of the movie.

Picked up my packages.  It's been gray and kind of rainy all day.

We are supposed to get your rain tomorrow, so save some for us. We need it.
