My response to a topic discussed yesterday:
BACON!! I love bacon...but only crispy bacon. I don't like chewy bacon, at all. :P
But that's just me. :)

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DR TCB!! ;D

I am reading The Cuckoo's Calling and enjoying it. At the point I'm at now, though, she's almost introduced too many characters for my taste. But I'm only about 2/3 through the book, so maybe it will all tie together. But I do really love the main characters and hope she turns this into a series.
I'm about half way through. I'm also really enjoying it and can't wait to finish it. The show that I'm in has taken up WAY too much time. I have no time to read anything.

Last night's rehearsal of "Hollywood Who Done It?" went quite well. We got through the show and I didn't call for lines once. Whew! And I think I'm getting the Australian accent well enough that I won't embarrass myself. Our director asked Guy and I just last week to change our accents for our producer characters from British to Australian. It was rough at first (very rough) but we're getting it.

Happy happy birthday to DR TCB!!!!!

Good morning, all! I stayed up until 9:00 (2:00am, Dublin time) and the alarm went off at 6:00. I am ready to do all of the laundry of the past two weeks. Then I have to deal with the post office - I cannot walk over there and carry two weeks of packages back - and make an appointment for next week with my doctor.
The rest of my day - and tomorrow and Sunday - I plan to do very very little. The only work will be proofreading the liner notes for DEAREST ENEMY and sending the Man from Philadelphia my invoice and a report on ROBERTA.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday to our DR TCB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DR Mike, thanks! Once I finish up the laundry ad can get off my feetm I'm planning on a very quiet weekend. I appreciate your asking about the wheelchair in JFK, because it all went so smoothly, The three pushers I had - two in JFK and Garrett in Dublin, were wonderful, patient people. I could only wish that everyone in distress had such angels to help them out.

I know all too well that moments of humiliation -- hell, even those of simple embarrassment -- never leave us. All we can do is take heart in the fact that for the other parties involved, they are nothing. Yes, somebody will remember that somebody else tossed his cookies. That's not forgotten. But once the actual situation has passed, for them that's all there is to it. It's just a fact. A beautiful thing. It's a thing that happened. We, the ones to whom that thing happened, live with it, never letting it go. Which is probably completely unnecessary. I imagine there are people who can grow out of that horrible moment and move on. I am not one of them, and I'm presuming that DR Elmore isn't either.
The only other thing one can do is sort it out, put it in perspective, and leave it there. An amazing trip, an amazing recording session, amazingly wonderful people...and one really shitty morning. I know these are empty words right now, but unless the incident was photographed and will be written up by the other participants for inclusion in the album's liner notes, then it's over. Not over for those of us prone to living our most horrible moments over and over and over again. But ... over.
VIBES for some relaxing, refreshing and restorative days to come.

I just had a wonderful everything bagel.
The bagel was bought at Stew Leonard's last night, which normally isn't a great time to buy bagels because those in the bin have been sitting there for hours. Fortunately, it wasn't as hard as a rock this morning. To make sure it would have plenty of everything flavor, since sometimes everything bagels fail to satisfy in that regard, I toasted and buttered it (hadn't thought to buy cream cheese -- but that's okay, I was really up for a hot buttered bagel), then added a little "fresh ground garlic salt" from one of those little grinders.
YUM.

Good morning, all.
Great cover, Larry. And continued healing vibes.

Laura, I loved the fungi photos.

Good Morning, Starshine people.
I had this dream about bk's new book (?) it was auto-biographical (?) and we ended up listening to the Carpenters version of "Can't Smile Without You", and in my dream, bk didn't speak. He just smiled and nodded his head. When I asked him if he liked this cover of the song, he smiled and shook his head. It was a weird dream.

I have never put 1 and 0 together before. You worked at the library. I loved that library. I remember finding recordings I didn't have, like the original cast of "The Nervous Set" and the recording of Einstein on the Beach, which had me entranced. I also remember getting quite a few books there, too.

Has anyone done Peter Filichia's quiz on Kritzerland.com yet? I got all but five, but the worst is that I can't figure out the first one:
Ah, the daisiest thing it was!
Where is that from? It's driving me crazy. My only clue is that it's from pre-1937 which is when the second answer is from.

While eating lunch today, I was paging thru a Emily Dickinson poem book that I have.
The intro tells a little about her life. She always wore white and rarely left her room where she wrote such beautiful poetry.

I had planned to see my doctor next week, but she insisted that I come in today at 1:00. I've been there and I am back, my MRI is scheduled for next Friday at 9:30am, the laundry is finished, and now I can be a self-indulgent invalid.

I am not sure that I would know (as DR George does, apparently) how to differentiate between a British and an Australian accent.

Yep, Zach is here with me. When I move for good, I'll drive him out to the Midwest.

You know, I was thinking of the word "froggy" when I typed "groggy." Great minds, I guess.
As for the sleep, thank you, but I really need better housing. It's here--it's just very expensive.

Long, sound sleep is wasted on the young! We take it for granted until it is not such a sure thing.

I use one of those small "white noise" machines. And the phone in the bedroom NEVER has the ringer turned on!

I am not sure that I would know (as DR George does, apparently) how to differentiate between a British and an Australian accent.
Well, there are some differences, but it's difficult (for me, at least) to describe them, even if I can hear them. For instance, the way Australians say AusTRALians. There's more emphasis on the second syllable and it sounds different, too. If anyone can put this coherently, please do!

Only 9 posts to go, and page 5 is history, baby.

Absolutely. When I was young I could sleep through anything.

Your idea of an aid of some sort is a great one, DR Jeanne. I'm sure there are many out there. Probably even downloadable mp3s.
-
An accent aid, not a sleeping aid. :)
-
I use one of those small "white noise" machines. And the phone in the bedroom NEVER has the ringer turned on!
I haven't tried the white noise machines, although I do sometimes turn on the fan to create white noise. Unfortunately, I don't like the noise of the fan, either.
-
I've always been terrified to try a sleeping aid. I mean, I know some of them SAY they are not habit forming, but I just don't believe it.
-
Happy Birthday, TCB!
-
When you get accustomed to the white noise, to go without it - well, the silence then seems deafening!

I've always been terrified to try a sleeping aid. I mean, I know some of them SAY they are not habit forming, but I just don't believe it.
This won't surprise you, but there are several natural sleeping aids that I use. The homeopathic version is Rescue Sleep and the herbal that I like is Natural Factors' Tranquil Sleep. I've never heard of them being addictive. The problem for me is that if I awaken after even three hours sleep, then I just can't get back to sleep. Rescue Sleep is very helpful for putting me to sleep, but not putting me BACK to sleep. Three hours sleep is just enough to keep me from sleeping, but not even to be functional the next day.
-
What is this, a monologue?
-
I hear you, DR Jeanne. I have a friend here who has conquered severe sinus problems with the help of a homeopath. She swears by it!
-
Sing, does your white noise machine offer any options. You know, yellow noise, pink noise, etc? Don't you get tired of all white? And it does should food stains.
-
;D
Mine is the Emily Dickinson model.

When you really can't sleep, it starts reading you the poetry of dead white European males.

-
How nice! I don't know that area at all.
Of course, almost anything there would look nice, in sunshine and not covered in a blanket of snow! :)
-
Thank you, BK, for the wonderful birthday greetings this morning! It's not everyone who can receive personal birthday greetings from a famed actor, director, author, composer, and CD producer; right there in said person's own daily blog. (Well, I guess everyone here can receive those greetings, but you know what I mean.)
-
I think I would go stir-crazy never leaving the room.
Well, you should know - it's that pretty much what your recent convalescence was like? :P
Yes, two months of having to stay off my feet. I did have to go out to see the doc, though. I paid someone to drive me and we'd sometimes stop at Trader Joe's on the way home. I knew it wouldn't be forever and I just tried to pace myself, curl up with a book or DVD, and not sweat it. Of course, I'm now behind on EVERYTHING.

When you really can't sleep, it starts reading you the poetry of dead white European males.

Hello, Tom!

Nice to "see" you here, DR TCB! Hope your day was a least a little bit special! How I would love to be there in person to take you out for a nice celebratory meal...
-
A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DR TCB!! ;D
Thank you, George!! ;D

Hello, Ginny!

Happy happy birthday to DR TCB!!!!!
Thank you, Fred!!

If DR TCB thanks each DR individually, we'll be at page 10 before you know it!

Happy Day to dear TCB!
Thank you, dear friend, Ben.

Hi, DR Jeanne!

Thanks, Chop Suey! The cake looks great.
-
I have a new desktop PC sitting here, still in the box, waiting to replace this failing piece of crap I'm struggling with now, but I don't have the energy to even attempt to start messing with it.
-
Sorry, DR TCB - I couldn't find a photo of a cake made out of bacon. :)
We can save that for George's big day.
-
A very warm hello back to you, DR Ginny! I hope you are kicking back on the sofa and having a good stiff drink, after the week you've been through!
-
Or maybe DH Richard needs one to get his sermon juices flowing! :)
-
Surprise!

Ewww, wet white shirt contest!!

I will be back, but right now DD Zach is looking forward to his evening constitutional....

Might you need more sleep?
-
I just browsed Amazon and there are white noise machines that offer options, such as nature sounds. Hmmm... One reviewer said that the wind sound scares the cats.
-
How long will Richard be convalescing, Ginny?
-
Good morning, all! I stayed up until 9:00 (2:00am, Dublin time) and the alarm went off at 6:00. I am ready to do all of the laundry of the past two weeks. Then I have to deal with the post office - I cannot walk over there and carry two weeks of packages back - and make an appointment for next week with my doctor.
The rest of my day - and tomorrow and Sunday - I plan to do very very little. The only work will be proofreading the liner notes for DEAREST ENEMY and sending the Man from Philadelphia my invoice and a report on ROBERTA.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday to our DR TCB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you DR Larry. Welcome home !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
And we have a CD cover!
I love it.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TCB!!!!
THANK YOU, MIKE!!
-
And a very very happy birthday to our one and only DR TCB !
Thank you Chas. You sound relieved that there is only one of me.
-
How long will Richard be convalescing, Ginny?
Our primary care doc cleared him today to drive and resume normal activities, but he's going to take it easy until he sees the cardiologist on Monday. He's off from church until Sept. 8. His biggest complaint now is that he has a cold.
-
Who I could have sworn just got done telling us he was only thirteen. Hmm. I dunno. But it's on the internet, so maybe it's true.
I was when I did A THOUSAND CLOWNS. Wow, that was 50 years ago.

Forty - yikes, 40! - years ago today I moved to Middletown, Ohio.
Happy Moving Anniversary!

An excellent idea! ;D

Well, that thought did cross my mind.... :)

Zach was fast.

Methinks I should eat, then try to go to bed early.

Happy Birthday to fellow Thespian DR TCB!
Thespian! You sleep with women??
-
Author Christopher Moore just posted this status update on That Other Site. I thought it was apropos our discussion about sleep:
I keep scanning for my perfect sleep number, but apparently this mattress doesn't have a "Kill My Loud Drunk Neighbor" number.
-
Zach was fast.
He's pretty perky still in the morning, but by evening he doesn't want to stroll too far. :-\
-
We've had us a frenzy. I had a piano tuning, then I did something I needed to do in regards to our anniversary show - that took a couple of hours and now I guess would be as good a time as any to go do a jog.
-
Wishing you true and restorative rest this evening, DR Jeanne!
-
Happy Birthday to fellow Thespian DR TCB!
Kidding! just kidding! Thank you, Jrand.
-
And the same to any other DR as needs it!
-
We've had us a frenzy.
Once we broke through the Page 4 doldrums, it was pretty effortless! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR TCB. Have A GREAT Day!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much, Arnold. What would we do without your song of the day?
-
DR TCB - for your birthday I got you Tim McGraw. But on his way to your apartment, he got arrested...
(http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a532/singdaw1/timmcgraw_zpsbbefeba7.jpg)
Should I ask for a refund?
-
I never responded to the Friday TOD, and now I'm ready to go watch something but I have no idea what it should be. Decisions, decisions.
-
A nice, calm and respectable lady went into a pharmacy, walked up to the
pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said 'I would like to buy
some cyanide.'
The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"
The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband. Divorce is out of the
question."
The pharmacist's eyes got big and he exclaimed, "Lord have mercy! I can't
give you cyanide to kill your husband. That's against the law! I'll lose my
license! They'll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will
happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!"
The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in
bed with the pharmacist's wife.
The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "You didn't tell me you
had a prescription."
-
Excellent!

I am now eating a piece of cake. White sheet cake. White frosting. And a simple pink rose.
I thought that Laura and Jane might be interested.
-
Has anyone done Peter Filichia's quiz on Kritzerland.com yet? I got all but five, but the worst is that I can't figure out the first one:
Ah, the daisiest thing it was!
Where is that from? It's driving me crazy. My only clue is that it's from pre-1937 which is when the second answer is from.
No I haven't Peter didn't mention my birthday in his column, so I am not taking his quiz. So there!
-
Happy Birthday to DR TCB. Hope you have a great day!
Thank you, Jennifer.
-
Happy Birthday TCB
Thanks DR Kate.
-
Vibes to Larry!
And many many more.
I know all too well that moments of humiliation -- hell, even those of simple embarrassment -- never leave us. All we can do is take heart in the fact that for the other parties involved, they are nothing. Yes, somebody will remember that somebody else tossed his cookies. That's not forgotten. But once the actual situation has passed, for them that's all there is to it. It's just a fact. A beautiful thing. It's a thing that happened. We, the ones to whom that thing happened, live with it, never letting it go. Which is probably completely unnecessary. I imagine there are people who can grow out of that horrible moment and move on. I am not one of them, and I'm presuming that DR Elmore isn't either.
The only other thing one can do is sort it out, put it in perspective, and leave it there. An amazing trip, an amazing recording session, amazingly wonderful people...and one really shitty morning. I know these are empty words right now, but unless the incident was photographed and will be written up by the other participants for inclusion in the album's liner notes, then it's over. Not over for those of us prone to living our most horrible moments over and over and over again. But ... over.
VIBES for some relaxing, refreshing and restorative days to come.
Thank you so much, DR ChasSmith!
I had planned to see my doctor next week, but she insisted that I come in today at 1:00. I've been there and I am back, my MRI is scheduled for next Friday at 9:30am, the laundry is finished, and now I can be a self-indulgent invalid.
If we had known, we could have chipped in and flown MBarnum out there to take care of you.
-
White shows off too many food stains.
;D
Especially BBQ.
That is not considered a stain in Texas. That is a badge of honor.

Oh Sloppy Drawers, I bet that dog taught you everything you know.
-
I take it that ISN'T Zack. Is Zack still with you, Singdaw?
Zach is now 13 and grey in the muzzle and starting to slow down quite a bit, but he is still very much among the living! :)
Now I'm confused. Is Zach your husband?
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DR TCB!!!!!!!! Looking forward to seeing a 13 year old TCB...ok, thinking of a 13 year old TCB when I see 1000 Clowns tonight
Without a mustache.
Thank you, DR Cilla.

The foot things says I'm Greek....I am not Greek
Maybe they meant Geek.

Well, I think I have to take my DVR back to the cable company. It keeps going on and off by itself. I can't watch a show for more than a few minutes at a time. It's a good reason to finally to watch the Lost Jack Benny shows on DVD.
-
Happy Birthday, TCB!
Thank you very much, Kevin.
-
Back from a three-mile jog, planking and thirty sit-ups. So, right now I'm netting out at four to five hundred calories, so I'm thinking about a foot-long Subway club, which will put me up a little under 1200.
-
This Seattle radio station is running a contest where they give the word of the hour, and you then have to text the word to this certain number. A great idea when the police are trying to crack down on people texting while driving. Anyway...........
Today the disc jockey says, "This hour the word is shimmy."
It is spelled: S-H-I-M-M-Y
The definition is: "You shimmy up a rope."
Say what?
-
I love Russian accents. I'd love to have one.
You'd love Tatiana, one of the immediate supervisors in my area. Great accent.

Sounds much better than the pie I had with dessert tonight. I ordered key lime and got something nasty with banana and a bad chemical aftertaste. I cannot digest raw banana and I'll be belching it for the rest of the evening. TMI, I know.

Listening to the Sandy sequence for the sixth time - I got it right the first try and I'm thrilled. What I do is play from the top, but I never remember what I put where, so it's new for me each time - it has a real flow, makes emotional sense, it's never predictable and always surprising. Very happy in the City of Studio and I'm locking this order.
-
If DR TCB thanks each DR individually, we'll be at page 10 before you know it!
If more people liked me, we could make it to page 15.

I use one of those small "white noise" machines. And the phone in the bedroom NEVER has the ringer turned on!
I am completely in love with my white noise machine. IT is the best invention ever.
-
You sound relieved that there is only one of me.
Well, that thought did cross my mind.... :)
There COULD only be one of TCB!
Thank you, Jeanne (I think).

I just browsed Amazon and there are white noise machines that offer options, such as nature sounds. Hmmm... One reviewer said that the wind sound scares the cats.
I thought about getting a machine with nature sounds. But I did a lot of research and am extremely happy with the machine i got (which is only white noise - 2 levels).
-
George, do you have a source--book, tape, etc--that you can go to for accent help?
Nothing specific. I've seen Australian movies and have some cast recordings and I love "Wilfred." I don't specifically study them, but I can pick them up after a while. :)
The library where I work has a bunch of tapes that I could've gotten, if I'd had more time.

Forgot to mention that everyone's favorite troublemaker was back today on the film score message board doing her usual thing. And since it was instantly obvious that she still reads the notes and watches this board every minute of every day, I just thought I'd make her day as we all know she'll be reading this little post. Hi, troublemaker. Such a shame that your pathetic attempts to stir up trouble fall with such a thud because you can't even get the easiest of facts straight. Oh, well.

I think they spent less than $10 on the production values in this music video:

As much as that?!

Well, I must be leaving. My friend Pug is having a party at her house while her husband and son are back east visiting his (the husband's) family. It was announced to start at 7:30, so I'm a little late, but parties at Pug's generally go on for many hours and have even been known to end after breakfast. I won't stay that late, but I'll definitely be there for a while. First, though, I have to get something to bring. Then, it's party time!
Until later...much later!
:D

Perhaps Emily Dickinson stayed in her room because of the food stains on her clothes.
;D

Did you know cats can't taste sweet?
I did not. The things you can learn on HHW! :)
They do if you dip them in honey before you fry 'em up

Ok, catching up on today's posts....
TOD:
CD: Debut CD of Punjabi singer/actor Dakssh Ajit Singh
DVD: Got a box full of 1930S movies on DVD from Alpha Video/Oldies.com...most likely it will be ALIMONY MADNESS or THE SIN OF LENA RIVERS.
-
I took today off as a vacation day but did nothing but chores and stuff, including 6 (six) loads of laundry! That is a lot of laundry for one person.
-
This evening I went to the India-US group meeting. We talked about last week's picnic and began plans for the upcoming Diwali festival. I was put in charge of food, which means that I must make the arrangements with the caterer. All of the Indians in the group agreed on one particular restaurant to cater the food and 4 of us went over this evening to talk with the owner about catering the event.
I think the talk went well..of course they were all talking in languages other than English. So I just sat there, smiled and nodded a lot.
Thankfully, they will be paring me with a university student from India for this work..cause I don't speak Punjabi and the caterer doesn't speak English.
Still, it is all a lot of fun.
-
Good night, all.
-
Another Saturday of BBQ awaits.
-
Two hours - perhaps we'll hit 300 posts - THAT would be something is what that would be.
-
Watched THE FURIES, which I'd never seen. Very, very good.
-
Any Anthony Mann film is worth watching and The Furies is very good indeed.
-
I'm thinkin' we may just reach 300 postings. The time is nigh.
-
Happy Birthday, DR TCB

Eddie Money in concert at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk was great. He still sounds the same
-
Tomorrow is the band rehearsal for In the Heights I'm excited to hear them
-
But mostly excited to get to play LESS notes than I have been in rehearsal. I love that.
-
Two more posts to 300
-
I have nothing else to say, except...
-
This is where a few friends and I are eating tomorrow night:
http://www.bayourestaurantny.com/?page_id=17
(We'll be at their new location in Ridgefield, CT.)
I like a lot of Cajun/New Orleans type foodstuffs, but don't yet know what I'll have.
If you were going there, what would you YOU have?
-
300!!!!!!!
-
300!
-
Oy, really Chas? LOL
-
304!!
-
305

I'm thinking we might just hit 300.

C'mon we can do it.

Oh.
