Well, you've read the notes, the notes were Kafkaesque, and now it is time for you to post until the Kafkaesque cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: GERRYMANDER!
-
Well, I'm back from seeing the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary episode, "The Day of the Doctor" on the big screen in the big 3-D! It was not religious in any way, so it's not a topic of the day reference.
-
In seeing the show for a second time, I picked up on references that I didn't when I watched it the first time. That was fun. And seeing it in 3-D on a large screen is just pretty darned cool, in general...to me.
-
And speaking of...I love Kafka (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGX37yCOsMM)!

good morning to all

Good morning, all.
Damn stupid dreams and backaches.
Oh well. I'm up. Coffee!
-
Good morning, all! I slept rather well, and I need to head off to Toyland shortly. I've got some things to drop off, some to pick up, and a form to print out. I'd like to be back uptown before noon, if possible.
More to follow,
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Tuesday morning greetings! Today is house cleaning day for me. I may send Richard to pick up the turkeys, because it looks like the weather may be tricky tomorrow...

DR JOHN G - when I was at the WalMart yesterday, I noticed that they already had several bargain priced electronics in the aisle.... You may not have HH GREGG's in your area, but they also have good prices....although the sales people try to force you to buy the protection plan and treat you badly when you don't....
The last time I was being pressured, I stopped a moment and said....this is a gift for my sister who has leukemia and she is not expected to live another year, I don't NEED the extended protection plan.....that ENDED THAT CONVERSATION quickly....

DR JohnG, as DR JRand mentioned, there are a lot of good TV set bargains out there now. My Toshiba has great sound, so I did not neet a sounds system to go with it.

Greetings from Toyland!
I've been here around 90 minutes and I will soon leave; I've accomplished everything I needed to do, so I can head home.

I forgot THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!
The movie....that is.

Oh, and there is that very entertaining 1960s Mexican film version of ADAM AND EVE...a most popular religious film, no doubt! ;)

We just started getting some snow flurries.
Wait a minute. I think there's a little sleet mixed in. Supposed to eventually be all rain, but I'm just glad I don't have to go anywhere tonight.
-
My bus ride home was an hour of hell: the original bus, which I boarded at 27th Street was nearly empty, so I settled in for a nice read and ride. Tw blocks later, the driver announced "I got no power," and made us all get off to wait for the next bus, which was packed. Because of traffic caused by construction around 6th and 53rd, traffic crawled up Sixth Avenue. It to 45 minutes or so to clear the mess, and by then the bus was jammed. Who the fat hell are all these people on a noon bus? It's not rush hour yet. The ride home was truly hell, and I got home to find that some parcel post moron, who's not the usual driver who leaves packages at my door or with the super, left me a notice to go to the post office to pick up package.
I can't walk, carry a cane, and tote a package at the same time, much less stand in a long line at the PO because of the idiot manager so i'm literally screwed in this deal. Goddam.
-
And, after that, I opened my email to learn that my friend Dale Kugel, librarian emeritus of Tams-Witmark Music Library, died this morning. God double damn!
-
I have cleaned the living/dining room and kitchen and I'm worn out. The only other thing I'll do today, maybe, is iron the tablecloths.
-
Sorry to hear about your friend, DR Elmore.
-
So sorry to hear about the HELL, followed by the death of a friend, DR Elmore!
-
Sorry to hear about your friend and your terrible horrible day DR ELMORE. If it helps any, I am enjoying DEAREST ENEMY which arrived yesterday.

A librarian emeritus of Tams-Witmark who was a good friend of DR Elmore's sounds like a great person to have known.

Mr. Neeley apparently knew which side is unleavened bread was buttered, since he has made an entire career of JCS.

I wish I could find the program (sadly, I think it's long gone), but I saw Neeley do the stage show at the Universal Amphitheater in L.A., I think in 1972, just before making the film.

He had the most beautiful and distinctive hand of anyone, and it cane seen in many of the scores, chorus books, and orchestra parts for shows Tams handled between 1959 and 1995 or so, when Dale began doing shows on Finale. He gave me my first computer in 2001; I inherited his old Mac when he got a new one, and my birthday gift that year was its setup by Mac Mecanix.

I thought I would post this for any of you who read J. A. Jance, and especially for Jane who loves Bernese Mountain Dogs. Ms Jance's new book is called SECOND WATCH. It is not only a Beaumont mystery, but it is also the story of Doug Davis who was killed in Viet Nam, and the girl that loved and lost him. That girl is my cousin, Bonnie, and the story involves her and her Bernese, Crackerjack.

Can you name any of the scores? I only have a couple of very old ones, but I'd sure keep an eye out for others.
Something I always wanted to see was someone actually creating some of those beautiful pages. I love manuscript scores.
-
Good day, everyone!
TOD: The first that come to mind are the religious mysteries, like NAME OF THE ROSE and THE DA VINCI CODE (although I preferred the books to the movies of Da Vinci Code, and Angels and Demons).
I am going to the Taper to see Brian Dennehy in a preview of THE STEWARD OF CHRISTENDOM tonight. That almost fits the TOD.

I've had passing glances at a few of those, and I have a very clean photocopy of the ANYTHING GOES identified as 1962 Off-Broadway Revival, with copyright dates up to 1977. It certainly is in a very neat hand.

Back from a very productive lunch with Kay Cole. We talked through both one and two-act versions, and I did some minor rearranging of things that I think will really help both - we figured out how to remove at least six more blackouts, too, and we discussed the simplified staging of the opening so we have a good handle on that.

Is this a fictionalized account of your cousin Bonnie?

Well, something nice happened: my doorbell rang and it was the postman who did not leave the package earlier. He found he had missed something on my block and figured he would see if I was home as well. I thanked him profusely. Isuspect he decided I was raving mad as he ran for the elevator.

Very nice USPS story DR ELMORE.
Sounds like a wonderful book DR TCB!
I just finished SONG OF SPIDERMAN by Glen Berger about his experience with SPIDERMAN: TURN OFF THE DARK, most entertaining....and BACKSTAGE PASS TO BROADWAY by Susan L. Schulman which is not quite as entertaining, but it okay.

Tonight is the finale of Dancing With the Stars....
OMG yes, I did, DR JANE.
However.....about ten years ago, when I bought my first flat screen television (a Polaroid brand) - the girl at WalMart just happened to say...do you want the 2 year warranty for $65? And I thought, what the heck...and bought it. One month before it was to run out, the TV would not turn on. I fished out my receipt and other information, went online....sent a couple of emails and a copy of my receipt. The company sent a box....UPS picked up the set....and two weeks later it came back and worked for three more years.....
So now, sometimes I buy....sometimes I don't...depending on my bank account that day.

The portrait my friend did of Sherlock is finally home from the framer's. This photo doesn't show off the richness of frame but gives you an idea. I admit, I was a bit emotional picking it up.
-
It really looks grainy downsized to post here.
-
Well, I actually mopped the kitchen floor. I feel so proud of myself that I made a steak topped with chanterelles. And I didn't spill any of it.
-
I had planned on a making a bourbon pecan pie for Thanksgiving dinner, but the hostess suggested that a cherry cobbler would be even more welcome. Maybe I'll make both.
-
They both sound good and I don't normally like pecan pie. I have been very good about slowly reducing my sugar intake, now to get through the holidays. I haven't had any sweets today at all.

I'm sorry about your friend, DR elmore.

My nephew Patrick's new video for next year's American Ninja Warriors:

If you pause the video at the very end you can see his family members in the audience: my brother on the right in red, my niece next to him,( slightly behind him), Patrick's wife ( in red with her black shirt tied in front) and yours truly to her right.
-
Such a miserable day, weather-wise. Cold and rainy. We may have a little snow tomorrow evening.
-

I'm really baffled by the absences around these here parts. BAFFLED.
-
Have spent most of the afternoon not relaxing, but doing two complicated edit road maps for what will be the two releases for Kritzerland that will close out the year.
-
The sun finally reappeared here today, but it was still bittter cold in the wind. But thankfully the threat of frost over the next couple of days has been lifted (I guess I want to believe the weather forecasters.)
-
Rob and Mary Linda brought dinner from The Jug after their eye appointments and stayed long enough for their drops to wear off. Lauren stopped by to pick up some moving boxes they'd brought for her. ML left with a 12.5 pound turkey to cook with gluten-free stuffing. Our turkey is 12.25 pounds.

Diary of a Country Priest
I always liked DIARY OF A COUNTRY PRIEST, too. I saw it in a college film class. I think I was one of very few who did like it. Perhaps this is not the sort of film that draws students to film classes. For those who haven't seen it, it is quite slooooww. And not a single car chase.

I needed to go to Trader Joe's today and arranged my day to go early this morning. I went to one of the larger ones, where parking isn't so congested, only to find about half of the parking lot unavailable due to some tree trimming. Bad timing on someone's part! I lucked out and found a parking space, but I can only imagine the chaos a couple hours later.

That is far worse.
One Christmas at Bryan's in Portland the power went out. Fortunately the oven was nice and hot and the food in it. It just took a little longer to finish cooking and it was fine.
-
I have a hair appointment tomorrow and usually stop on the way over to purchase a bag of muffins for my hairdresser, who likes to munch. Realizing that I should have picked up something for him this morning at Trader Joe's to avoid day-before-Thanksgiving crowds, I drove to the nearby Ralph's supermarket. The place was practically empty. I didn't even have to wait in line. Something is terribly wrong here!

I've just started watching QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY. I'd heard of it, but knew nothing. It's really fun! The interior designer does AMAZING things and the straight guys have been awfully good sports. I look forward to more of it. Between that and MIRANDA I may stay sane through the holidays.

Too bad you live so far away. When I moved into my current place, I had a countertop microwave oven, but my place had an existing one above the range/oven. I've had it in my garage since (more than seven years, now). Last year, my theater group was having a group yard sale and someone donated a small microwave oven. It didn't sell, so I kept it (and a few other things) for the next yard sale...which hasn't happened, yet. So now I have three, count 'em, THREE microwave ovens and two are just sitting there in my garage not being used. :-\

I wish I had waited for DR George to capture the photo. Pausing took multiple attempts. For some reason it either didn't pause or jumped to the beginning of the video.

That girl is my cousin, Bonnie, and the story involves her and her Bernese, Crackerjack.

I don't normally read her but I will put this on my wish list. Unfortunately my library doesn't have it. They have a good number of her books so maybe it will down the road.
Is this a fictionalized account of your cousin Bonnie?
I think my mom just started reading this author.
Quite a few years ago, she was the keynote speaker at my library's All Staff Day. She was a very good and even though I haven't read any of her books, I thoroughly enjoyed her speech.

Sorry about your day and your friend

I had planned on a making a bourbon pecan pie for Thanksgiving dinner, but the hostess suggested that a cherry cobbler would be even more welcome. Maybe I'll make both.
I'm supposed to make apple crisp and apple sauce, which I will, but after my brother said he doesn't have time to make his pecan pie, I'm thinking about doing one of those too. My brother uses Paula Dean's recipe. I've never done a pecan pie before, but it can't be THAT hard. Hmmmm

I needed to go to Trader Joe's today and arranged my day to go early this morning. I went to one of the larger ones, where parking isn't so congested, only to find about half of the parking lot unavailable due to some tree trimming. Bad timing on someone's part! I lucked out and found a parking space, but I can only imagine the chaos a couple hours later.
I was just telling someone today about how I've been a Trader Joe's shopper for -- count'em -- 30 years now. Started in Redondo Beach in 1983. Mostly we were reminiscing about how much more adventurous it used to be, going there. It's still a great store, but now they're all the same, and the corporate stamps pervades them all. So, just curious, which one(s) do you go to? I had a few favorite ones around different parts of town.
-
Would you believe that our microwave blew today?
Two days before Thanksgiving.
:'(
Thank God for Ovens ;) Microwaves have gotten pretty inexpensive and are probably on sale, so it may be OK
-
The news just said "Stop eating when you are 80% full" So how do you know it's 80%?
-
I will be gone for one night over the holiday. I talked to the vet and she thinks Callie will be fine without her meds for that long. I tend to agree. The way I have it planned, she'll only miss two doses. Paul is going to stop by and check on the cats. Not sure he really needs to, but they are so used to me being home every night that it can't hurt.
-
It's really cold here. Right now the wind chill is 7 degrees, but there's no rain, sleet or snow. But it will warm up to 32 for Thanksgiving and 40 over the weekend. Not bad
-
I am happy with the winner of DWTS.
-
And so is my mom :)

That hurts.
We went to Sears today and bought a new one...but it won't be delivered/installed until the end of next week.
-
I just got back from The Outback. I had their aged cheddar and bacon burger. Other than the bacon not being crispy (I love and prefer my bacon to be crispy), it was delish and VERY filling!
-
Went to Gelson's and got some slaw and a tiny bit of tomatoes and mozzarella from the salad bar - hit the spot.
-
Finished with my viewing, which included episode one of series four of Downton Abbey.

Yes, you're right about the uniformity.
My first TJ's was, I think, a small one in a little shopping center near what is now Sony Pictures, not far from what was once the Culver Theatre. In those days they just had all sorts of oddball items and didn't try to cover all the bases grocerywise.
There was a large TJ's in San Diego, again with odd assortments of gourmet items. There was hardly ever anyone in the store!
These days I shop at the one on Pico and 33rd (Santa Monica) and (today) the one on Sepulveda and Palms Blvd. (WLA) There are two more near me, but are less convenient due to traffic patterns.
TJ's has done an exceptional job, I think, of staying abreast of trends and customer preferences. Virtually everyone I know shops at Trader Joe's at least some of the time.

Can you rent a microwave oven? You can rent most things these days.

Thank you all for the good wishes and vibes.

Thank you all for the good wishes and vibes.
Larry, while you're trying to lull yourself to sleep, you could post four more times and get to 30,000 posts! :D
-
Or you could delay gratification until you have something special that you want to post.
-
Your choice.

We only need 8 more posts after this one to get to Page 7.

I'm just waiting for my direct deposit to kick in. Since Wednesday is the last working day of the month for the library (where I work), that's when we get paid.

My direct deposit has always shown up shortly after midnight.

Well, it's after midnight and it hasn't shown up, yet.
