Title: Re: THE UNSEEMLY HEAT
Post by: ChasSmith on October 06, 2013, 06:09:10 AM: Good morning, all.

Had a nice case of insomnia last night. I think I got maybe three hours of halfway decent sleep, but that came with weird dreams of no particular interest or redeeming social value. Very strange, and annoying.

However, I'm enjoying this also strange dark morning of a constant, soothing, gentle rain - which actually started late last night. Odd that it didn't help me sleep better. But this is quite pleasant, and I do not complain.

Title: Re: THE UNSEEMLY HEAT
Post by: ChasSmith on October 06, 2013, 06:42:55 AM: After living in L.A. for some years, I spent a year and a half in the Chicago area then moved back to L.A. for a few more years. It was the very beginning of October ('87) that I was back there, and I remember my surprise at how hot it still got then, partly because we'd just gotten into a lovely fall season in the Midwest. And I was on the "less hot" side of the hill, not in the Valley. It's funny how you recall certain moments -- I was taking a lunch hour and went out for a walk (we were in the "Earthquake" buildings on Wilshire, across from the Wiltern), and right then and there I re-learned the feel of that October heat.

Post by: Jennifer on October 06, 2013, 06:53:39 AM: I just had a good laugh while looking at yesterday's posts. I see a picture of doggie desserts. And then the next post says, "I love those!" The second post was referring to something else. But my eyes connected to the two.
Title: Re: THE UNSEEMLY HEAT
Post by: elmore3003 on October 06, 2013, 07:01:22 AM: Good morning, all! Another bad night of sleep, but I am bathed, dressed, and on my first cup of coffee. Perhaps this means I will get some good sleeping tonight. I'm hoping!

After I watched the HOT IN CLEVELAND episodes, I began a BBC series CITY OF VICE, which is quite wonderful, about Henry Fielding, author of TOM JONES, and his half-brother John, who served as magistrates in London around 1755, and founded the London police force. The cast is quite wonderful.

Post by: Matthew on October 06, 2013, 07:28:58 AM: Oy and Vey - Sunday morning is here. Good Morning.

Regular Sunday duties this morning, and this afternoon, I'm seeing my first amateur production of Les Miserables When nothing shows up on Facebook about how awesome it is, I worry - and nothing has, so I'm thinking it's going to be a rough few hours. I'm going to support people that I know who are working on the show. Beyond that, I think I would rather be knitting, which I don't know how to do in the first place.

But it was packed. It was really too windy for me to bike anywhere else though (the wind is so much better there). Thankfully the wind pushed me home. It is almost always stronger in that direction. But it was so great today!

That got me curious about FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL, so I did an all-category search on that title, and it looks like the soundtrack album appeared under two - no, I think three, at least - record jacket designs. Fascinating! Are all of those legit? Which was the first? Or the best? And dig that T-shirt! And that VHS tape case... :)

I stopped reading the Bruce Alexander series because I found that his American spellings and occasional syntax removed my credulity that the narrator lived in Georgian London. I'm currently reading Deryn Lakes' John Rawlings mysteries, which all have Sir John Fielding as a major character, and I really like them. The first one is "Death in the Dark Walk," second is "Death at The Beggar's Opera."

I've almost finished watchng CITY OF VICE; I'm on the last episode.

Elmore, I bought this series a few years back and quite liked it. The only disappointment was it was too short. There is a nice series of mysteries written by Bruce Alexander (now out of print) about the Blind Beak, John Fielding, that I heartily recommend.

AAUW's contribution, as in years past, was to host the sponsor lounge and, from our perspective, it was fine. The event overall had some major publicity and logistical challenges, but the part I was in charge of went very smoothly. Lots of wonderful help from many AAUW members and several husbands and great support from the university physical facilities staff. We only had a handful of sponsors visit the lounge, but we all had fun visiting with one another.

Depends on what kind of Kindle you have, DR Jeanne. The one I have that's about 3 years old is a very clunky web device, but our son uses his Kindle Fire almost like an iPad.

It stars David Hyde Pierce , Julia Murney, Paul Anthony Stewart and child actor Frankie Seratch. It was very unusual. There are 3 separate stories. I enjoyed them all to some extent. Some of it is very funny. Paul Anthony Stewart played several characters in one of the stories and was hilarious. After the show I spotted John Kander, who composed the music for the show. Now I wish I had spoken to him.

DR Chas - they are the orchestrations that went out with the new re-designed tour in 2010. They are reflected on the 2010 Cast Recording and I THINK on the 25th Anniversary O2 Concert DVD.
Title: Re: THE UNSEEMLY HEAT
Post by: Matthew on October 06, 2013, 07:02:49 PM: The School Edition is still the original orchestrations (for now I guess), but when you license the full show, you don't have a choice and you get the new orchestrations. If I ever do the show, I'm going to do my best to make the new ones sound like the old ones!! :)
Title: Re: THE UNSEEMLY HEAT
Post by: ChasSmith on October 06, 2013, 07:19:59 PM: Wow. Oy. etc. Thanks for that. That's probably what I heard a month ago. MD said it was the exact tour orchestration for 13 or 14 players...if that sounds about right.

Would those of you who have Kindles say that you can email and surf the web on it adequately? Or is it really only practical as an ereader?

I have a Kindle Keyboard (non-hi-def and not a touch screen) and the "experimental" browser is slow. It's best (of course) if you have a strong wi-fi connection, but because there's no mouse, using the 5-way button is cumbersome...but it works.

Yes, bi-polar, plus I believe having heart trouble. Medication made him bloat up terribly.

I just returned from seeing GRAVITY in 3D. And it was okay. The performances are fine, Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are a nice pair....

If you think you MIGHT like it, you probably will.

Not exactly a rave. Jack. I have heard from others that it is visually stunning.

I agree with DR Ginny - the Kindles that are readers are definitely NOT good as all-purpose tablets. The Fire line, I understand, is better for that - but probably still not as good as an Android or Windows or iPad tablet.

My Kindle died many months ago. I don't really see any point in replacing it, when I can use my Ipad for everything.

She was also in the Broadway production of Victor/Victoria with Julie Andrews. I saw that in New York and thought that she (Rachel) was fantastic! Julie was pretty darned good, too. She certainly deserved the Tony nomination, but I was so disappointed that Rachel wasn't nominated, as well.

White slavers force unsuspecting women to join a prostitution ring.

It was made in 1913...100 years ago...and it still exists! That's pretty cool!
