Well, you've read the notes, the notes were the notes they needed to be, and now it is time for you to post until the needy cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PRETERITION!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Yes, Deb, the link is good for one week. The show will be up at Beverley's site until next Sunday at around 6pm.
-
Set off in the motor this morning and after a few yards started wondering what the flapping noise was. Stopped the car, looked out the window and saw I had a flat. Drove back into the drive, looked on the internet and found a local mobile tire supplier, who I'm now waiting for, having said they'll be here within the hour.
-
Good morning, all!
The noisy neighbor is back, and he spent a good deal of time walking about kast night before settling down and around 3:30am, the printer started up again. After the last time this happened, I've been trning it odd before going to bed, and I forgot last night.
Today is a Toyland day. I have to wait for a paper shipment, and tomorrow I have to wait for binding supplies. I have no plans beyond that today.
The ATLANTIC has a review of Gary Marmorstein's new biography of Lorenz Hart:

good morning to all
-
happy passover to those that celebrate.
have a successful first seder
-
Tire fitted. I can now get out again :)
-
;D
-
Have a really good week everyone. :) :) :)
Mega vibes.
;D
-
Tired.
Work.
:)
-
Oh dear, it's Monday again.

Greetings from Toyland!
Just as I was ready to leave, one of the electric outlets in my apartment - and there are far too few! - went out, shutting down my tv, DVD, reading lamp, alarm clock, and several other lights and appliances. I sent an electrician request to my landlord and also checked with my super about an electrician. God alone knows when this repair will occur, so I am a bit pissed at the moment.
-
Good morning, all.
Happy Passover!
And Happy Monday vibes.
-
Monday morning greetings! It is still snowing, but surfaces that have been plowed and salted are clear. That includes our driveway - our guy must have been here before we woke up this morning - so Richard and I are getting ourselves ready to go to Cathy's funeral.
-
TOD:
HORROR OF DRACULA (and not because Christopher Lee used to be a publicity client)
QUATERMASS AND THE PIT
DR. JEKYLL AND SISTER HYDE (Martine Beswick is a friend)
-
DR ELMORE: My suggestion....kite & key.
-
That is an interesting review DR ELMORE. Thanks for the link.
TOD:
I like Christopher Lee more than I like Peter Cushing....and they have done so many films together, I certainly expected them sooner or later to turn up in a version of THE ODD COUPLE.
Of the Hammer Films - I particularly like:
Curse of the Werewolf
Plague of the Zombies
The Mummy
Brides of Dracula
Kiss of the Vampire
Evil of Frankenstein
-
Precious is having reverse sneezes today.....sounds worse than it is. We have to massage her throat when it happens.
-
TOD:
I don't enough of the Hammer films to comment. I've always enjoyed Christopher Lee, but outside of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," I can't think of a film of his. (Except the LOTR movies, which I was not a fan of.)
-
DR ELMORE: My suggestion....kite & key.
And not the stove as well?
-
Interesting review of the Larry Hart, Larry. Thanks for posting the link. And once again the one comment that gets it totally wrong is the Ethan Mordden comment. Larry Hart and Cole Porter were different simply because they were two different people. Both could be cynical about love, both could be incredibly, romantically passionate. Both could be masochistic, both could be clever. I find Porter the more sophisticated of the two and possibly more accomplished, because he also wrote his own music and because his work ethic was greater. But comparisons such as Mordden's are off base and worthless.
-
Of course Cole Porter was more sophisticated - he was from Indiana.
-
TOD:
I'm not a fan of Peter Cushing or Christopher Lee or of the Hammer horror films in general (which, when seeing them as a teenager, I thought were poorly made when compared to Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe films) so my sole choice would be THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES. The only Hammer films I really liked were the black and white, psycho-thrillers written by Jimmy Sangster and the Quatermass films.
-
Happy Passover to our Jewish dear readers and lurkers. I guess I'm observing this coming Saturday.
-
I'm up at least an hour earlier than I wanted to be - took me a while to fall asleep and then I awoke a few times during the night.
-
Page one? One page?
-
Why is tonight different from any other night?
-
I've proofed the scene change and the Exit Music, and all that's left to be done is "Clementina." When the4 copyist finishes it, the first draft of the score is finished and we can see how much damage needs to be repaired and buttressed.
I'm heading for home now. No word from my landlord, but that's par.
-
From DR Vixmom:
I suspect I had more calories in that one meal than DR Jane had all week
LOL, not with the Haagen-Dazs ice cream I eat, even if it is only a little bit every day it adds up.
That is a busy weekend you had and it sounds wonderful.
I have taken many a donation, mine & a collection from a group, to shelters but I have never been part of a group that put together such a nice gift bag.
-
Now I'm in the mood for Kugel. While similar I preferred my mother's recipe to Keith's mother's, however, that was lost when my sister lost my mother's cook book. Somewhere I have my mother in-law's recipes along with a my own that was a combination of my memory of my mother's & my mother in-law's recipe.
I like lots of raisins in my noodle Kugel.

Why wasn't The Ten Commandments on ABC last night?

I'm glad you were able to get out today.
-
No news from DR elmore, guess that means he is still without electricity :(
-
Months ago (Craig was still here)when the button on the kitchen sink spray nozzle broke I called Kohler about getting a replacement button. They said I needed to replace the entire spray section so I opted not to pay the price since I could manually work the sprayer.
Today I finally broke down & called Kohler to get the new part. To my surprise the woman on the phone told me it was still under warranty. They will be sending a new part out, along with a valve for the handle that drips, for free. :)

That's great! Don't you love it when that happens? :D
-
One of the reasons I delayed on the new sprayer was because of that drip. I was deciding if I should just get a new faucet. I'm glad I called Kohler back.

I'm thrilled. I just don't know why the first person didn't mention it. It is a good thing I didn't wait much longer. I haven't a clue how long the warranty is for.

Peru, Indiana.

It also helped that we have the original receipt.

Here's an image of a field next to a restaurant in the Hill County I love to go to. The scenery and lighting can be incredible.
-
I got home over an hour go, saw my super, the wonderful Steve Trifun, and within 10 minutes his mighty son-in-law was up here with his electrical supplies. For around 30 minutes my apartment was in the dark while the circuit breakers were turned off. Wouldn't you know this would happen on a day that's rainy so there's no light coming in the window?
I have a repaired electrical outlet, my tv is making a lot of noise, my phone machine and VCR are updated, and my alarm has the correct time. All is good in apartment 3C/
-
DR elmore I'm so very happy to see you. :D
-
DR John, do you sit out on the patio with the lovely view?

To all Dear Reader's who celebrate,

I'm up. productive, and other things
-
DR John, do you sit out on the patio with the lovely view?
Close to it. You're a little off to the site, but you face what this faces or you have your back to it.
-
I'm up. productive, and other things
I think the phrase "other things" applies to my productivity today.

Three!

One of my neighbours has taken to putting their recyclable waste into my bin (large wheelie bin) when theirs is full. I went to put some newspapers in it today but couldn't because it was full up. I've put a stop to them using it by moving the bin behind my locked gate. If they have too much waste for the bin, then they should do what I do if I have too much for my bin and take it to the recycle depot which is only a few minutes away.

Good
morning afternoon hell, might as well make it evening, all.

I'm back home from today's high school adventures, the foul weather has thankfully avoided us (or will leave practically nothing later tonight), and we're in the clear for sunny skies and a gradual return to actual spring-like temperatures this week. Hoo and Ray! :)
-
Good morning afternoon hell, might as well make it evening, all.
LOL! Welcome to my world.

Congrats to DR ELMORE on his return to civilized life.
"There's no match for flameless electric living."
What commercial was that? From the 1960s, I think.

It means the SMASH cast will soon appear on SPLASH.....without you know who.

DR Laura, the Brent Barrett as Captain Hook I'm seeing is in Schenectady, NY. (Or Synecdoche.)
Orchestra, 4th row center, $60. It would have been $70 but I'm going up for a weekday matinee because I don't feel like making it an overnight trip. And I'm going by myself, so the single seat made it easier to get.
-
DR Doug R, I love the Hammer B&W psychological thrillers, too. Even those that might not be completely "thrilling". It's a style of film that means a lot to me, and I have a very great love for late '50s, early '60s varieties of same from US studios.
-
Back from a patty melt and no fries or onion rings - calories for said patty melt are somewhere between 600 and 900 according to the various calorie sites. The ones that list at 900 however seem to be these humungous two-patty things - the size I had is more along the lines of the 600 calorie ones, and Jerry's patty melts are really not very big. And I jogged so I'm fine - the only other thing I'll ingest today or tonight may be fruit.
-
TOD (films in no particular order)
Hammer:
ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN
HORROR OF DRACULA
BRIDES OF DRACULA
CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN
DIE! DIE! MY DARLING
HOUND OF BASKERVILLES
HYSTERIA
MANIAC
THE MUMMY
NIGHT CREATURES (CAPTAIN CLEGG - same story as Disney's DR. SYN)
QUATERMASS AND THE PIT
THE NANNY
And for bonus points (I hope there are bonus points), some favorite Amicus films because I LOVE anthologies -- especially those in the Hammer style:
ASYLUM
DR. TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS
FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE
HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD
I, MONSTER
TALES FROM THE CRYPT
VAULT OF HORROR
and CITY OF THE DEAD (HORROR HOTEL).
I really like Cushing and Lee in just about anything they've done, so no real favorites as far as that goes.
-
I went to IKEA for the very first time this weekend. There is this whole shopping center near the airport in Portland that I never knew existed.
It was like discovering a long lost civilization.
-
Some of those Amicus anthology films are great fun, although I haven't seen any of them in many, many years.

I tried to get a pair of tickets in August for a January show. The girls STILL talk about the show. And Wae-Ling watches the dvd every time she is here.

BTW, I got that DVD (Peter Pan) and liked it a lot. I know everyone here said it's awful in comparison to the real live show, and of course I believe that, so I'm looking forward to this all the more.

I like it, too, but that's something I haven't been to in probably way more than a decade.
I think the only one I've been to around this area is the Newark, NJ one across the turnpike from the airport. I know there are others now, but haven't bothered to find out where they are. It is a fun thing to do, though, now and then.
-
Richard and I attended only the church service portion of Cathy's funeral. It was SRO, as I expected, and quite sweet. We visited with some folks afterwards and had a discussion about our own funerals on the way home. We ate lunch and watched ARGO, which made my palms sweat even though I was pretty sure I knew how it turned out.

Do IKEA and civilization belong in the same conversation? ;)

I went to it at the theater, and haven't been on the edge of my seat like that at a movie in years. As the final half hour ticked on, I almost felt a growing anger at the filmmakers for putting me through this! And I love suspense. Absolutely love it.
-
DR John G., that is one gorgeous picture. Did you take it? The scene and the colors are just incredible.
That said, I do miss the days before they took the Hills out of Hill Country. :)
-
I love that kind of tension. I think it's why, when I saw the previews of the French version of Harlen Coben's "Tell No One," I had to see it again. I remember being on the edge of my seat in that one, but I don't remember the details, which means I can bite my nails all over again.
-
I did not take the photo. it was on the resort's Facebook page. It's a place up in Comfort called Riven Rock Ranch with a half-outdoors restaurant and some great food. Thinking of going back in a few weeks for dinner.
-
Well since they are moving SMASH to Saturdays it seems pretty clear that they will not renew the show.

I think the show would be better on cable with a few more challenges, shorter season and greater attention to detail. Oh, yeah, and no Debra Messing.

DR ChasSmith - Glad you like them as well. When young, I found them far more scary than the blood-drenched Dracula and Frankenstein Hammer films. They always had great surprise endings as well. I particularly liked MANIAC with Kerwin Matthews.

I've been out in the rain to run some errands, and now I am in for the evening. I'll be in bed early. Tomorrow is another morning Toyland trek to wait for a FedEx shipment of supplies for the binder.

I hope you had fun.

I had to call my tax accountant this morning. He's in his nineties and is truly an elderly Jew. He wished me a Happy Passover, then asked if I'm going to services this evening. I've never had anyone ask me that! I grew up around Jewish families, but I guess they all knew I'm not Jewish. In any case, I explained that I'm only a virtual Jew.
-
I purchased a copy of "An Evening with Dorothy Fields," the CD. I really enjoy listening to her stories. Looking forward to hearing it again.
-
MANIAC with Kerwin Matthews is indeed a very fun movie.

Set off in the motor this morning and after a few yards started wondering what the flapping noise was. Stopped the car, looked out the window and saw I had a flat. Drove back into the drive, looked on the internet and found a local mobile tire supplier, who I'm now waiting for, having said they'll be here within the hour.
A mobile tire service! What a great idea! A gas station delivered a battery to me once when my car had a dead one, but I hear of very few mobile automotive services. I'd love to see more of that.
But, Doug, I'm puzzled as to how you looked out the window and were able to see your tires. ???
-
Greetings from Toyland!
Just as I was ready to leave, one of the electric outlets in my apartment - and there are far too few! - went out, shutting down my tv, DVD, reading lamp, alarm clock, and several other lights and appliances. I sent an electrician request to my landlord and also checked with my super about an electrician. God alone knows when this repair will occur, so I am a bit pissed at the moment.
Maybe it's time to call Ghost Busters?

I just wound the window down and stuck my head out and saw that the back wheel tire was flat. Maybe I've got a very long neck ;D

I can blame the printer in the middle of the night on the ghost, but I believe the outlet was the result of a lousy electrician over 30 years ago. It's always been a problem, but i have avoided dealing with it since it worked for the most part until today.
-
I guess it helped that it was on the driver's side. ;) :D

I understand. I avoid plumbing repairs here because I loathe the plumber they use, a real Neanderthal. I'm glad it was fixed so quickly.

Good evening!
I woke up to a couple of inches of snow this morning. I was surpirsed--didn't expect that much. Of course, most of it is gone now. Snow turned to rain during the day.

We were back up to a 9.5 rating on the imdb but our dear friend came back and did some more dirty work and we're now back to a 3.9. Karma will take this woman places she can never even imagine and I do hope it happens soon.

That is great. Reminds me of Joel Schumacher complaining that Batman was too dark for him. (I guess he knows a lot of bats that fly in the day.) So, he lightened it by making "Batman and Robin," the worst of the worst. Even George Clooney has been known to apologize to people for having made that one.

Here's an image of a field next to a restaurant in the Hill County I love to go to. The scenery and lighting can be incredible.
Beautiful!!

Greetings from Toyland!
Just as I was ready to leave, one of the electric outlets in my apartment - and there are far too few! - went out, shutting down my tv, DVD, reading lamp, alarm clock, and several other lights and appliances. I sent an electrician request to my landlord and also checked with my super about an electrician. God alone knows when this repair will occur, so I am a bit pissed at the moment.
Maybe it's time to call Ghost Busters?
I can blame the printer in the middle of the night on the ghost, but I believe the outlet was the result of a lousy electrician over 30 years ago. It's always been a problem, but i have avoided dealing with it since it worked for the most part until today.
Is your printer a wireless printer? Dos it actually print anything or just "chatter"?

It is gone with the wind. The musical, of course.

Barbra's added a second London show (on June 3rd). Not sure where I'm going except for Amsterdam (on June 6). My friend who lives in the Netherlands got a ticket for me.
It sounds like a great trip. I have friends with three Bernese Mountain Dogs and a baby that live in the Netherlands. Once again I want to tag-a-long. :)
I read this as: "I am friends with three Bernese Mountain Dogs and a baby that live in the Netherlands" I was picturing some kind of updated Goldilocks and the 3 Bears

DR Laura, the Brent Barrett as Captain Hook I'm seeing is in Schenectady, NY. (Or Synecdoche.)
Orchestra, 4th row center, $60. It would have been $70 but I'm going up for a weekday matinee because I don't feel like making it an overnight trip. And I'm going by myself, so the single seat made it easier to get.
Fourth row center for $60.00?? I'm moving to Schedectady.

We were back up to a 9.5 rating on the imdb but our dear friend came back and did some more dirty work and we're now back to a 3.9. Karma will take this woman places she can never even imagine and I do hope it happens soon.
Sigh. I'm sorry she does this to you.
How dreary her stupidity is.

I think the dvd is quite good.
I think the DVD is okay, but the live show is incredible! And I saw it without the WSMA.

I was wondering about the wireless part too.

Alarm Man was here for five hours. The system is now working and for the next two weeks at least I have to arm it before bed, and always when I leave. That's so they can do their checks. This one is much easier to do - just a couple of moves and you're done - the other one was really complicated. He'll be back with the new signs for outside tomorrow, and then he'll be back in a week or so to put three more motion sensors in and fix a couple of dead relays in a couple of windows.

I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Cushing and Mr. Lee, but I am not a fan of their Hammer films.

TOD:
I'm not a fan of Peter Cushing or Christopher Lee or of the Hammer horror films in general (which, when seeing them as a teenager, I thought were poorly made when compared to Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe films) so my sole choice would be THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES. The only Hammer films I really liked were the black and white, psycho-thrillers written by Jimmy Sangster and the Quatermass films.
I also like Hammer's THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES. In fact, I like this version better than the Basil Rathbone film.

THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES is my least favorite Sherlock Holmes story. It just doesn't have any mystery to it for me.

Lurkers abounding.

Listening to an upcoming release.

All is Good in Apartment 3C is my next book on traveling in NYC.

And I stupidly looked on Amazon for said book... remind me why I gave up caffeine?

Whoa. Thank you!

OMG -- just scrolling down quickly, to be studied closely tomorrow -- but one thing jumped out at me.
That eatery between the American Airlines building and Capitol Records I asked about, that was The Munch Box in the early '70s?
It's a Du-par's in 1962! If I ever knew that, it never sank in.
-
That page is still loading - no idea how long it's going to be.
-
Okay, got to the end, and saved the whole web page. I don't trust anybody! :)
And with that, I bid you all a good night.

Allergies are doing their thing - just took a pill. I was so good today - one patty melt and some cole slaw and then some low-fat, low-cal ice cream for a snack. Tomorrow another two or three-mile jog and salmon for lunch, which will enable me to have something fun in the evening.

Well, what was supposed to be just a production meeting, turned into a paper-tech and a full blown men's rehearsal. It was a little rough, but it's going to be good. I didn't stay for the women's rehearsal. I had to do a load of laundry and just remembered that I hadn't put my clothes in the dryer! I hope that my neighbors don't mind. ::)
