Good morning, all!  My last dream had something to do with Arthur Fiedler and recording an orchestra rehearsal. Earlier I had  nightmare involving, once again, my grandmother's hbted house on Tenth Avenue, which after 50 years still terrifies me.

I will shortly head to Toyland; yesterday was a good day for cleaning and tidying, but I've learned that I really cannot work at home: too many distractions. So, I'm off to 27th Street.

He may be a caricaturist, rather than a painter, but I love the work of Al Hirschfeld. 

I have 10 signed/numbered Hirschfeld lithos hanging on my walls.

My favorite is the one of Greta Garbo.

Mondrian

Helen Frankenthaler

The only thing I own of any of them is a print of a poster from Frankenthalers 1969 show at the Whitney Museum in New York City.

I am no art scholar whatever, but Picasso, Chagall, Kandinsky, and Miro sound fine to me!  And how about Klee?  Yes.  Klee, too.

The only artifact I have that isn't a cheap poster store reproduction is a Picasso exhibition litho that isn't numbered or anything.  It even has a water stain across the bottom edge.  But it is rich and colorful and I love it.

And The Song Of The Day Is:  BUT ALIVE



I thought so:  I had this tribute to online sites like HHW,  from a while back - and mentions the Song of the Day.  I wonder what this was for?


BUT ONLINE! -  Tune of BUT ALIVE!

We sound wealthy yet poor as a pauper
Part Cindy Williams and part Cyndi Lauper
But online, that’s OK, we’re online!

Rachel Portman with some Rachel Berry
Take K.D. Lang and add in Katy Perry
But online, but online, we’re online!
 
We’ve got songs that blend the genres, hip-hop to Roberta Flack
Though young kids see Justin Bieber, and learn from Rebecca Black

We sound spontaneous yet lousy with planning
Take Channing Tatum and add Carol Channing
Rash as Gavin Creel   / Staged like Howard Keel
Anyway we’re real – Online!


I’m a dozen different screennames, each and every viewpoint’s mine
I’ve a million ways of saying “Merman’s Gypsy can’t match Tyne”

Our site’s part subsidized projects, part Tara
Part Paul McCartney and part Paul Jabara
But online! That’s OK! We’re online!
We sound content and still filled with self-loathing
Totally naked yet covered with clothing
But online!  That’s the thing! We’re online!


This kaleidoscope of hopefuls whirls around the world wide net
Time for a new Stephen Sondheim? Maybe next year but not yet

So they’re for fun but we still hope to sell ‘em
So mix Lady Gaga with some Antebellum
Cute like Danny Kaye /  Rough like south Park’s Trey 
What’s the Song of the Day – Online!

Good Morning BK,

Well I just finished your latest Book "Murder At the School Musical"

I loved it!!!.

I started to read it Yesterday, (Memorial Day) in the late afternoon.
I finished it about an hour ago.

I just love Adriana!.  It was a very unique story that kept me guessing.  I couldn't sleep last night so I was laying in bed thinking about who could be the murderer.

I won"t spoil it for anyone but I did start to "Connect some of the dotes" towards the end.  I love to figure out parts of a great mystery right before I finish.
Great Read Everyone,  I highly recommend !

Well now I will have to start at the beginning and read the whole series.

Also, I did enjoy the fashion end of it.  Most Definitely!

Title: Re: WORKING
Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 28, 2013, 07:54:48 AM
I spent all day yesterday reading Stephen King's "Under the Dome".  It's a thick book and I didn't manage to finish it all, but am very near the end, which really won't offer a huge surprise but...well...there are only a few ways it could end.

It's a good read, but I confess I'm a bit disappointed that it is remindful of so many other King stories that came before it, primarily "The Tommyknockers" and "The Stand".  That said, King still has a very skilfull way of pegging personality types and the ways they work in social frameworks.

Frankly, I don't know of another writer who can cram as many characters in a novel and have each one of them remind me of someone I know or have known or have met or have heard about.

I bought the book when it was first published but have never read it until now.  I thought I should given that the mini-series of the book will be one of the summer offerings on one of the major networks.

HP called and we're now downloading the actual HP software from their site - this in addition to the drivers I downloaded yesterday from Apple - I guess it's all necessary but I am very over HP right now.  This download will take almost ninety minutes, which seems to me outrageous.  Once it's complete they'll call back (at eleven) we'll install the software that's been downloaded and then do this firmware upgrade.

It has now been 10 days since an order was shipped from a boutique label not two miles from my condo, and I haven't gotten the package yet.

The company assures me it was shipped and asked me to hold off until Friday before contacting them about filing a non-delivery complaint.

I normally get their shipments one to two days after they ship.  Now it's 10 days.  Will three more days really matter?

I finally saw BRAVE last night.

Thought the animation was sensational (not surprising for Pixar).

I was really enjoying the film, then about halfway through, the plot takes a left turn and I felt I was watching an entirely different movie.  Indeed, it turned me off of the film completely.

Anybody else see the movie?

Well, I fasted for nothing because our primary cary physician was satisfied with the fasting blood test I'd had for my cardiologist a few months ago.  Anyway, Richard and I both had uneventful check-ups and a delightful Bob Evans breakfast.  We also took our upstairs curtains to the dry cleaners, where I had to sign a waiver in case they do not survive the process.

But I'm sure it's all good.

Back from a three-mile jog.  Download completed and I configured and did the set-up and have no idea if I did it correctly or not - I did try calling them about six times but kept getting Thailand or somewhere and I refused to talk to them.  They're supposed to call me at eleven to finish up the case so I'll just wait till then and if I did something wrong they can just damn well fix it.  There was actually just one confusing step, but I think I clicked the right thing.  Printer's working fine anyway - haven't tried to scan.

And the word of the day is: MORDACIOUS!

And The Song Of The Day Is:  BUT ALIVE



I thought so:  I had this tribute to online sites like HHW,  from a while back - and mentions the Song of the Day.  I wonder what this was for?


BUT ONLINE! -  Tune of BUT ALIVE!

We sound wealthy yet poor as a pauper
Part Cindy Williams and part Cyndi Lauper
But online, that’s OK, we’re online!

Rachel Portman with some Rachel Berry
Take K.D. Lang and add in Katy Perry
But online, but online, we’re online!
 
We’ve got songs that blend the genres, hip-hop to Roberta Flack
Though young kids see Justin Bieber, and learn from Rebecca Black

We sound spontaneous yet lousy with planning
Take Channing Tatum and add Carol Channing
Rash as Gavin Creel   / Staged like Howard Keel
Anyway we’re real – Online!


I’m a dozen different screennames, each and every viewpoint’s mine
I’ve a million ways of saying “Merman’s Gypsy can’t match Tyne”

Our site’s part subsidized projects, part Tara
Part Paul McCartney and part Paul Jabara
But online! That’s OK! We’re online!
We sound content and still filled with self-loathing
Totally naked yet covered with clothing
But online!  That’s the thing! We’re online!


This kaleidoscope of hopefuls whirls around the world wide net
Time for a new Stephen Sondheim? Maybe next year but not yet

So they’re for fun but we still hope to sell ‘em
So mix Lady Gaga with some Antebellum
Cute like Danny Kaye /  Rough like south Park’s Trey 
What’s the Song of the Day – Online!

That's great, Fred!!

I finally saw BRAVE last night.

Thought the animation was sensational (not surprising for Pixar).

I was really enjoying the film, then about halfway through, the plot takes a left turn and I felt I was watching an entirely different movie.  Indeed, it turned me off of the film completely.

Anybody else see the movie?

I did.  I'm still not certain how I felt (or feel) about it.

I am quite certain I don't feel it merited an Oscar.

The bear, however, was absolutely wonderful in its reactions.

Post by: bk on May 28, 2013, 11:49:28 AM
I think part of the problem is it wasn't really configured properly when I first got it.  But I also think that because I had all these old drivers and HP things from three previous printers, that those were causing problems.  Everything is now completely up to date, scanning thing is in my dock and working perfectly, printer is working perfectly, and best of all I'm now configured for ePrint - which is AMAZING!  I can forward an e-mail to the printer and it will print.  I can forward a photo from my iPhone or iPad and it will print.  I am HAPPENING!

Favorite 20th Century Painter/Artist is

Mary Cassatt.1844-1926

I purchased several of her prints when I visited Washington DC to see brother Kevin years ago.
My hubby made beautiful frames for them.

Among my favorites are

Children playing on the Beach, 1884
The Child's Bath, 1893,
Small Girl in Blue


Your hubby must be talented.  I can imagine they look very nice on your walls.

I spent all day yesterday reading Stephen King's "Under the Dome".  It's a thick book and I didn't manage to finish it all, but am very near the end, which really won't offer a huge surprise but...well...there are only a few ways it could end.

It's a good read, but I confess I'm a bit disappointed that it is remindful of so many other King stories that came before it, primarily "The Tommyknockers" and "The Stand".  That said, King still has a very skilfull way of pegging personality types and the ways they work in social frameworks.

Frankly, I don't know of another writer who can cram as many characters in a novel and have each one of them remind me of someone I know or have known or have met or have heard about.

I bought the book when it was first published but have never read it until now.  I thought I should given that the mini-series of the book will be one of the summer offerings on one of the major networks.

I'm wondering if the series will be better than the book.

And here I am at the same event, dancing (yes, dancing) with Riv-Ellen Prell, Rivie to her friends.  You'll note that she has quite a bit of nerve being taller than my thirteen-year-old self.  This was taken in the little party room at my father's restaurant - it was off the main dining room, which was very old-fashioned and like any classic steak house.  This room was for parties and was more modern.  We all had a little crush on the waitress who's walking slightly behind and to the left of Rivie.

I don't understand all these problems that MR BK is having.  I have never encountered printer/computer problems.  I have had No Name Printers, HP Printers, and now a Canon Printer/Scanner and all of my PC's recognized them right away.

Is it an APPLE dilemma?

I was wondering the same thing

Also I may be starting a Book Club with my friends.  I'll recommend it.

DR Kate, because you said you like Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party, you might like Susan Vreeland's novel of the same title.  Susan is one of my book group's favorite authors.  We've been together more than 20 years - here's our website:

Joy Luck Club Book Discussion Group (http://www.orgsites.com/oh/joyluckclub/)


You and Susan have been together for 20 years?

Tuesday morning greetings!  I'm having to start my day with no coffee because Richard and I both have fasting blood tests this morning.  After our doctor's appointments we're going out for breakfast.


Ah yes, those f***ing blood tests.

Hmm. I wonder what TCB is trying to say there.

Those fulfilling blood tests?

Those fascinating blood tests?



No, as Ginny said - fasting

It's every few months with Mystery and Imagination - they're just struggling, although some months they seem to do well.  I've told them under no circumstances can they EVER close.  They are the last of the dying breed.  In fact, Malcolm and I are going to put together some kind of event, either at the store or maybe the Glendale Library, about the great mom-and-pop bookstores of LA.

Did you see the article about them in THE HUFFINGTON POST with an endorsement as the late Ray Bradbury's favourite bookstore.  And no they cannot ever close.  I just read an article in the Brit Huff Post that says one in five high street shops will be closed in the next few years...and at the top of the list were book and record stores.  The Dress Circle in London finally went totally online.  It was a shame to be there a few months ago just weeks after they'd closed and seen an empty storefront.

About the same time DRs Penny and Jane were wearing maxi-skirts, I was wearing mini-skirts (and LOTS of hair!):

You look soooo cute :)  Many of my short shirts were shorter than that ;)


That's true, but you are shorter than that.

And here I am at the same event, dancing (yes, dancing) with Riv-Ellen Prell, Rivie to her friends.  You'll note that she has quite a bit of nerve being taller than my thirteen-year-old self.  This was taken in the little party room at my father's restaurant - it was off the main dining room, which was very old-fashioned and like any classic steak house.  This room was for parties and was more modern.  We all had a little crush on the waitress who's walking slightly behind and to the left of Rivie.

Home from work and then rehearsal for the coat show in which the DD accompanied me.  Tonight is dinner with "pit" friends. :)


Really?  Maybe you should give each of them some deodorant.

Here is a photograph of me at my Bar Mitzvah, between my Martian parents.  For those who've read the Kritzer books (especially Kritzerland, which opens and closes with this very event), you know exactly what I am feeling in this photograph - for those who haven't read the books, the clenched fist and the expression might give you a clew.

Snazzy hair, BK!

Could your tie be any skinnier?

Richard and I celebrated National Burger Day with homemade ones and now we're settled in for NCIS reruns and the grand finale to BODY OF PROOF.


I am sorry to see BODY OF PROOF go, but at the same time, the writers did the series no favors the way they wrote Dana Delaney's character this season.  She was totally unlikeable this season, and if I hadn't been watching the show in the earlier season, I would have quit the show before now.

TCB, mafia would probably not be so far off, although 1960 was a little early - shady business people came later.

Too early for hints.  The composer is a Kritzerland regular and has written some of the greatest film scores in history.
