Title: ACCOUNTABILITY
Post by: bk on February 12, 2014, 12:30:46 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes had accountability, and now it is time for you to post until the accountable cows come home.  They've been the victims of a MOOscarriage of justice.

Good morning, all! I would love to go back to bed, but i've got physical therapy and I need my walking lessons.

I've got nothing else to report except to tell DR vixmom how happy I am about her good news.

Morning, everybody! Holy friggin' moly, but it's cold out there... I have a 20-minute walk into work, and I'm not thawed out yet after half an hour at my desk. Vixmom's wonderful news, however, is more warming than just about anything I can think of. Huzzah!

Well, here we are again -- preparing for a major storm.

This one looks to be a major nor'easter that will start late tonight and be blowing its way up the coast all day tomorrow.

The stores are going to be absolute HELL today, and unfortunately, there are a few things I must needs get, and a few things to do.

The real problem with all of these storms in such rapid succession and with no thawing is that we're mostly out of places to put any new snow.  Maybe I'll take a picture of my driveway today, then another on Friday after it's been "cleared".

BK, that is exactly the kind of building I'd pictured for your grandparents.

It is always wonderful coming up with these shreds of photographic evidence, but of course they always leave us wanting more.  I've got a lot of work ahead of me in this regard, for the places of my youth.

I'm having some actors over to my house on the 22nd to read aloud my "new" stage play.

Actually, I've been researching this one for many decades, but didn't start actually writing until about a year ago.

It deals with one of Hollywood's most sordid scandals.

DR TCB thanks for the link for Connie Francis yesterday....that concert was from 1989....and there are some clips of her at the 50th anniversary of WHERE THE BOYS ARE singing the song....well....not exactly singing.

And speaking of things non-chilli, I came across this website by former child actor Marc Copage (starred in the 1960s show I am currently addicted to, JULIA).

His life was full of good and no so good. His mother pretty much abandonded him when he was a toddler, and his relationship with his father (who was also an actor) ended up not so good. It is all quite interesting to read. I think he is still in the process of adding to the story.

A few days ago, I'd read that both Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson have signed on for the sequel...to be directed by Elizabeth Banks (http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2014/02/07/elizabeth-banks-to-direct-pitch-perfect-sequel/), who may also appear in the movie.  I didn't realize that she had also co-produced the first movie.

Having escaped the East Coast in 2009, as a former (?) native New Yorker, I send "be safe/stay warm" vibes to all who are affected by the latest blast of winter and the Nor'easter.  (It will be in the 80s for the rest of this week out here in sahuaro land, I say from my catbird seat with a sheepish grin, having been through many snowy/icy/stormy winters in the past.)

QUESTION TO BK:

Re: "Jeepers Creepers":

What was Zacherley like to work with?  I had grown up watching him as "The Cool Ghoul" on local NY television, instilling (?) a love of cheesy horror movies (now somewhat fulfilled by Svengoolie on MeTV aka WCIU-TV).

Recently I obtained a 1975 air check (if that's the correct term) of John Zacherle (not in his Ghoul persona) when he was an album-oriented rock DJ in NYC.  Fun too to hear the radio ads from that time period.

Thinkin' of Lincoln today...   Happy Birthday, sir!


(http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a532/singdaw1/lincoln_zps8e4b49f1.jpg)

If he were still alive today, he'd be 205 years old...Happy Birthday, Abe!! :))

HEAR!  HEAR!  Just wondering, of course in a non-patronymic way, would it be appropriate to get out the pointy hats and dance the cha-cha for Mr. Lincoln on his b-day (I'm sure he would be a welcome guest DR)?  Not being a Lincoln scholar, would he have had a sense of humor about such?

I think he would.

Had the meeting with Terri's other half, Donna.  Terri doesn't like meetings.  Looks like we're going to issue her CD on Kritzerland and she'll be our guest star in the March Kritzerland show.

Cool (about the CD)!! :D

Is there a time frame for when you expect to release it?

I knew her during the original run of BARNUM; one of my best friends from college was Glen Close's dressers and a friend in the show was the boyfriend of another friend of mine.  I hung out a bit.  I then didn't see Terri for years until we worked on FINIAN'S RAINBOW.  I think she's fantastic.

Another day of Walking With Morgan!  We had several new  exercises for my ankle, ball of my foot, and walking this morning, along with all the older stretching and mobility exercises.

I've known many fitness people who pooh-pooh stretching; they're in the "no pain, no gain" camp. But I've personally found stretching to be very beneficial. Vibes for continued improvement!

I stopped into The Northern Face store today. A few weeks ago, I had stocked up on gear to deal with the cold weather here. They are now having a sale, and they agreed to retroactively adjust my purchase prices. I ended up getting over $90 back!    :)

Well done.

Well, I'm now off to the theater...I'm ushering tonight, not running the sound board.  The Ten Tenors (http://www.washingtoncenter.org/upcoming-events/2014/2/12/the-ten-tenors.html) are performing.  I'm sure that they'll be good!

Once known as a group of university friends whom banded together for extra beer money during their studies at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, the TEN Tenors  have powered through 14 years on the international stage, morphing into a troupe of road warriors, striving forward into the future of the classical cross-over genre.  This Australian troupe has become known as one of the hardest working touring acts; performing an average of 250 show per year across seven continents, they have sold over 3.5 million concert tickets; have four gold CDs and two platinum; two gold DVDs and one platinum and continually strive to challenge themselves and their audience.

They sure are nice to look at! ;)

DR TCB thanks for the link for Connie Francis yesterday....that concert was from 1989....and there are some clips of her at the 50th anniversary of WHERE THE BOYS ARE singing the song....well....not exactly singing.

On top of all of her other problems.....she is alleged to enjoy her weed, which would explain some of the things we see.....

I also watched the 50th Anniversary clip, and it was a shade improved over the 1989 concert.  Of course, the Ft. Lauderdale clip was filmed during the day, and the concert was apparently an evening affair.  A lot more hours have passed for smoking or drinking.

DR Jennifer did you see "Ender's Game" and read the book?

Elmore or anyone else with a taste for George Eliot, have you read "My Life in Middlemarch" by Rebecca Mead? It's the story of a woman who read Middlemarch at various times in her life and supposedly discovered that the novel offered her a great many things modern life did not (to crib from the liner notes). Sounds fascinating. I have a reserve on it at the library. Hope it doesn't come in too soon.

Someone wore a hoop skirt to the chili cook-off Sunday. Sadly it didn't help her hips any. And she couldn't sit down without help. It was one big "Oh, honey, no!"

Our church had its annual chili cook-off Sunday. I was not the winner. I made something that tasted like chili. I tasted the winning entry. It tasted like Sloppy Joe's but with more tomato and no trace of chili powder.

our third annual Chili contest is the 22nd --- this year our theme is the Oscars

My movie is "The Lord of the Rings:Return of the King"  I have NO idea what I am going to do for decorations

We are supposed to dress as if we are going to the Oscars -  they are having a red carpet  and photographers

and I am searching for a new chili recipe ....

Reading the memoir of Samantha Geimer, called The Girl.  Other than containing some rather large typos and things that any editor should have caught the first go-round, it's moving right along.  Of course, there are no more editors now, just idiots telling authors how to "fix" their books (not) while not even catching the most perfunctory of errors.

It's 2:00am, and I cannot get back to sleep. I slept from around 11:00 to 12:30, and i've been awake ever since. I hate this!

DR JohnG, I was never a big George Eliot fan; I've only read SILAS MARNER and seen the BBC production of DANIEL DERONDA, of which I remember nothing.
