I'm glad Kismet is feeling better! 

As to today's question: 
In the deeveedee player later tonight is Tarzan and the Valley of Gold, from Warner Archives.
In my ceedee player (and my iPod) is the cast albums of Catch Me if You Can (which is actually quite wonderful), and the revival of Pippin (which Michael and I are going to NYC to see on his birthday, October 19th), as well as the score album for A Place in the Sun. Wonderful, wonderful Waxman...

Good morning, all!  Since my problems are neurological, I seem to have new and different problems whenever I shift my posture. So, last night the sleeping position I've used for the past week stopped working and my left leg was nothing but jangling nerves, no matter how I lay. My only pain-free position was to sit upright with a pillow under my knees. It took a long time to find that position, between portions of the Alison Weir book and attempts to sleep.  So, some time after 12:30, the meds kicked in and I passed out.

This morning, I will try to do some laundry in the basement washers, and I have to walk to the bank to get cash for the weekend.  Right now, the glamorous life ain't so glamorous at all.

I cannot believe what have just seen - once again my cc has been compromised - unbelievable.  A charge to Ikea of Great Britain for just under one thousand bucks, and a 1.17 charge to somewhere in Louisiana.  Luckily on the Ikea the cretins used an incorrect billing address so that charge, while it showed up, probably won't go through.  The money is already back in my account, the card is shut down, this is now going to wreak havoc with all my online bill-paying until I get the new card and then I have to reset every one of those things - horrible and basically to whomever did this, I wish you nothing but a slow, painful, and immediate death. 
Title: Re: HEAD-TURNERS
Post by: bk on September 06, 2013, 09:56:14 AM
Thank goodness I checked.  This is going to make my life hell for a week now, because I will not use my bank cc for anything.  So, I guess I'll now have to get cash to do stuff.
Title: Re: HEAD-TURNERS
Post by: bk on September 06, 2013, 10:14:22 AM
Paypal did tell me of something I'll definitely do when the new card arrives - you can then order a secondary card with a completely different number - you keep that and don't use it and if this happens again, you have the second card to use immediately rather than having to do what I now have to do - wait for ten days.  This effectively takes care of the NY trip I was going to make on the 15th.  I was going to book it this morning but as I said I will not use the Kritzerland cc to book anything anywhere because I don't want THAT card compromised EVER.  So, there's no way to book anything until the new card arrives.  What a pain.

 I am seriously considering getting rid of cable television.

It isn't that I don't enjoy it, but I figure if I stop DVRing stuff that is playin on TV I might actually get around to watching the hundreds of DVDs that I have purchsed over the years. On top of that, I might actually get a book or two read and some of my interviews transcribed and published.

I would terribly miss TCM and Encore Westerns, but likely I can catch up with all of those movies at some later date. And tv shows like HOT IN CLEVELAND, THE WALKING DEAD, ect I can rent when they are released, and shows like BIG BROTHER, THE AMAZING RACE, and SURVIVOR I can watch on the innerweb.

Of course I could just go cold turkey and not watch any of those shows...but I don't want to go THAT far!

Laundry has been an ordeal: I decided to use the washers in our basement because it would keep me in the building. BUT . . . the waterlogged corduroy trousers kept throwing the bin off-balance and i literally had to stand over the washer and "unbalance" it every 2-4 minutes. It generated a lot of pain on all my nerve endings but the clothes are in the dryers and I will hopefully finish it very soon.

Once that's accomplished, i am going back to bed and hopefully not getting out before Monday morning.

Hot in Cleveland (http://www.tvland.com/episodes/80186/hot-in-cleveland-all-my-exes)

on line as well. You don't need cable for lots and lots of shows. We haven't had cable since 2009 and thought it would be nice to have Turner, it's not worth the other crap and the price.

Happy Friday, and Happier Weekend to everyone!

I mostly wanted to catch up with all of the well wishers that I missed saying thank you to this week. You've been so kind wishing me the best for tomorrow night's opening and for the previews this week. So, THANK YOU to anyone I missed, and again, to those I didn't miss.

Today: Last rehearsal. Tonight: Last preview, and... more importantly, the last set of faux notes from the inept excuse of a director. He is gone after tomorrow night!!  :D Were it not for the artistic director and some very determined actors, this piece would have no life whatsoever. 

I will most likely be missing here for the entire weekend, what with opening night tomorrow, and two shows on Sunday, followed by the long drive home.

So, I thank you all in advance for all of your good wishes.

Cheers! And someone please take a nap for me this weekend.   :D

Ginny, I had a good experience with LAMPS PLUS. I ordered a lamp on sale, based on the online photos. When it arrived I saw that it was larger overall than I'd visualized and just too big for the space. I returned it to the local store--no problem at all--and ordered another lamp--NOT on sale, of course, more expensive. But I'm very happy with it. That said, I think it's best to try to work with a local retailer, like you're doing.

I asked paypal why it was going to take ten days - it's because they're not an issuing company - they farm out the issuing of the cards - if it was a bank I'd have it in a couple of days.  I may have it sooner - hopefully I will.  I got some cash out of the ATM at the bank and will use that for the next few days.

I cannot believe what have just seen - once again my cc has been compromised - unbelievable.  A charge to Ikea of Great Britain for just under one thousand bucks, and a 1.17 charge to somewhere in Louisiana.  Luckily on the Ikea the cretins used an incorrect billing address so that charge, while it showed up, probably won't go through.  The money is already back in my account, the card is shut down, this is now going to wreak havoc with all my online bill-paying until I get the new card and then I have to reset every one of those things - horrible and basically to whomever did this, I wish you nothing but a slow, painful, and immediate death. 

After what happened to me yesterday, I hope this is not contagious.

Lamps Plus!  The name just clicked.  I still have a lamp from there that I bought for my Redondo Beach apartment in 1982.  And I'm amazed, but happy, to see the store is still there, too, at Hawthorne Blvd. and 190th St. in Torrance.

Thanks, DR ChasSmith!  I've sent a link to the lamp we like from there to the local (Dayton) retailer who's been looking for lamps for us.

Good evening.  It's been quite a week.  It's hotter than hell here and that makes me ill (literally) on top of that I've had a stomach and head ache for a couple days.  Today Edith was arguing or making snide comments about everything I said.  I have no idea why, but I did not have the patience for it and was quite annoyed.   I stayed home and missed a party tonight.  I wanted to go, but I'm just barely starting to feel better and it was an outside party.

Happy Friday, and Happier Weekend to everyone!

I mostly wanted to catch up with all of the well wishers that I missed saying thank you to this week. You've been so kind wishing me the best for tomorrow night's opening and for the previews this week. So, THANK YOU to anyone I missed, and again, to those I didn't miss.

Today: Last rehearsal. Tonight: Last preview, and... more importantly, the last set of faux notes from the inept excuse of a director. He is gone after tomorrow night!!  :D Were it not for the artistic director and some very determined actors, this piece would have no life whatsoever. 

I will most likely be missing here for the entire weekend, what with opening night tomorrow, and two shows on Sunday, followed by the long drive home.

So, I thank you all in advance for all of your good wishes.

Cheers! And someone please take a nap for me this weekend.   :D

I've never had cable TV--ever. I would have loved to have had BBC America, but it was just too expensive. I use Netflix--MUCH cheaper than cable--and my computer. I don't have time to watch everything that's available to me. It means watching some shows a season behind, but I can live with that.


And Amazon Prime is cheaper per year than cable is by the month; and you get thousands of choices.

For the past week we have had crazy weather.  Normally, in Western Washington, when we have thunder and lightening we get about half a dozen bolts of lightening followed by not really close thunder claps.  Last evening they said we were having 500 lightening strikes an hour in Western Washington.  And I believe I heard that down around where George lives, they had over 4 inches of rain in twenty four hours.

And next week it goes back into the 80's.

Well, we had a very good show tonight.  My parents really enjoyed it!  They really liked the meal, too.  Also, my dad was one of about six to be called up to the middle of the room during the intermission to play games (movie trivia, I think) and he won a dinner for two at the actual Pellegrino's restaurant AND he also won one of the door prizes, which was a bag of ground coffee!  Score!!  I got to talk to them after the show, so that was fun. :)

The only problem for me was on my next to the last exit (my last exit as the producer), I ran too quickly and pull a hamstring muscle.  I felt that as I was exiting and was hobbling a bit for the last scene.  I've been keeping it stretched out (someone told me that I should do that) and I took some ibuprofen.  So far, it's not been too bad, but I'm sure that it'll be worse in the morning.  I was planning on going to work for a couple of hours, but we'll see how I feel when I wake up.
