re: amazon.com and being able to re-buy e-books you've already bought.

I thought that the system didn't let you. I'm not sure though.  I remember trying to gift/buy a free e-book i'd already bought and it wouldn't let me. It does show the 1 click option for e-books i've already bought even though it says at the top that i've already bought them. But i don't want to pay again to find out if it will charge you again or if it will not let you do it. :)

All the outdoor Olympics events that I wanted to watch when I got up (taped from the night) were postponed due to fog. :(

I really wanted to see the men's snowboard race. I saw the women's race yesterday (about 6 snowboarders race against each other at one time). It was pretty cool.

I don't collect the soundtracks as much as the vocal albums, but I have enjoyed the ones I have bought, especially Laura, Divorce Italian Style and The World of Susie Wong. But the one that really surprised me was how substantial the soundtrack for Evening Primrose is. Such great instrumental music in addition to the few songs.

Good morning, all! I slept very well and I thank DR Jeanne for sending those vibes my way. I'm running late, so I have to get to physical therapy.  I'm a bit addled at the moment since I cannot locate my cell phone.  I might have left it at Toyland, and I'll look for it there tomorrow, but it's go me rattled.

Good news about the Sammy Award!

Well, my missing cell phone has me all akimbo; I just moved my physical therapy up an hour to 11:15 since i am so unprepared to get out of the apartment.

DR George helped me with this photo from page 12 of the October 1981 issue of BLUEBOY magazine, where the hot new cabaret act "Just Good Friends" was featured on page 12, before the photos of the naked porn stars took over.  We were featured as the thing to see in Manhattan.

While I was working at Tower Records around 1983-84, one of the clerks kept telling me, you look so familiar but I can't think why.  I assumed it was because of the act or from working at Drama Book Shop or the Men's Chorus. One day as I was leaving Tower Records he yelled out, you were in BLUEBOY!

Oy! the things we do for fame!

The omens were not good for me this morning. I got to the bus stop, a location for two buses I can take to 96th Street. After waiting for 15 minutes. with no sign of either bus arriving, I was freezing, so  I came home and canceled my appointment for today. I cannot go tomorrow because of a ROBERTA rehearsal, so I guess I'm going on Wednesday.

And I found my cell phone. It was charging and i forgot about that. Shoot me. Please.

Guess I'll go pretty soon.  I need to get office supplies, but also need a new billfold.  The zipper broke on mine and I put a rubber band around it.  It doesn't bother me, but it makes my friends laugh.  Guess I'll get a new one

DR JENNIFER - I have purchased additional copies of books at Amazon many times - but I haven't tried to purchase additional copies of E-books.....so I am not sure how that works.

That's what we are wondering about the e-books. It wouldn't really make sense that it would let you purchase an additional copy unless you clicked the gift option. Why would someone want the same e-book on their same account?

That is crazy that you can go from so cold and then get 50s in the winter.

I think we are actually supposed to warm up towards the end of this week (but maybe only barely 40F). And that is super unusual. IT has been freezing or under 30F the whole winter.

My favorite Kritzerland soundtracks so far include:
Firstly and foremostly, the Venerable Sir BK's wonderful corrected release of "Casino Royale" (1967);
It's not unusual, but next I have to list "Tom Jones";
Unfortunately for some DR’s earworms, oh you pretty Chitty Bang Bang, "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", I love you;
You may be a "One-Eyed Jack{s}" around here, but I've seen the other side of your face;
Honey, pull down "Tristram Shandy" again for me, will you, and play some of "The Missouri Breaks"?;
Not to be a name-dropper, but as William M. Gaines would say, "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"!;
According to "Inspector Closeau", "there is a time to laugh and a time not to laugh and this is not one of them";
I have no coolness in me at all, except when I'm listening to "The Molly Maguires"; and,
One of mine and Bash Brannigan's all-time favorites, "How to Murder Your Wife”.

From DR Jennifer:
Quote
Would it even have let you re-buy the same book? On amazon it tells you when you have already purchased the e-book. And i don't think it will let you buy it again.

That is what the second person kept telling me and I kept telling her there was a second copy of the book for sale-lol

But would it have you let you buy the same e-book to the same account twice?  So how did you end up getting it back?

The supervisor removed it from my books and then put it back in, how I'm not exactly sure.  I told Keith to watch for any credits or charges because I'm not positive she didn't do it with my credit card.  It is what she originally was going to do but after I said that was stupid, or something a bit kinder, I think she managed it without the card.  It is funny how many ways they wanted to "fix" the problem that I refused because it didn't make sense to me.  It really annoyed me I wasn't permitted to speak to a supervisor when I first requested one.  I have a survey to fill out.  I hope there is room to express my displeasure.

We had a little rain a little ice and a little snow last night.  Today it will be in the 50s and all go away.  I am very happy we got some moisture.  We needed it

That is crazy that you can go from so cold and then get 50s in the winter.

I think we are actually supposed to warm up towards the end of this week (but maybe only barely 40F). And that is super unusual. IT has been freezing or under 30F the whole winter.

We had ice covered by an inch of snow. It was 54 today and it's all gone.  I'm starting to like this, think I'll quit wishing for snow and start wishing for spring rains

Funny.  With constant use some of these might become acceptable foods in the dictionary. 

One of my pet peeves, instilled in me by my father the doctor, is "I am nauseous".  The proper word was nauseated. If you were nauseous it meant you made others nauseated.  Due to misuse of the word it now has two definitions.

Dear People that took advantage of going through my car because I didn't lock it:

Enjoy the show tunes and 70's music and array of vocalists on my iPod. Oh, and that Playlist that says "The Matt Tracks" - that's me.. I don't want to hear that any of those tracks get any sort of air play or wind up on youtube.

Also, that guitar is not really a Fender and it doesn't stay in tune when you play it. In fact, I was in the market for a new one, enjoy whatever you can out of it, or for the $29.99 you may get if you pawn it. It sucks.

But most of all, thank you for not damaging my car in any way. It makes everything else seem not so important anymore.

I read through part of it.. You know, he cant even come up with a good explanation for her.. I shook my head as I read part of it. Basically he is calling us callous and liars. Sad commentary, actually.

To be honest I think there is a lot of coverup going on by the University. I seriously suspect she had something on someone. I found it very odd that an earlier provost was forced out and this guy took over. He was forced out about 2012 and he went back to teaching. He was friendly with the dean. Almost too freindly. When I was the library it was one of the few rare times i would see her crack a smile was with Bresciani and Schnell. IMHO, I think something was covered up and the University wants the press to remain quiet it on along with staff at the university.

Jack, you can't find CastRecL because it's not an Internet site. It's a moderated e-mail list serve, much like the old e-mail sites of years ago at the beginning of the Internet.

The overall theme of the list is musical theatre but there are sometimes off-topic messages. You have to send a note to the moderator with a verifiable e-mail address. He then approves you and you start receiving the e-mail, either as they are sent or you can choose to get one e-mail every day which contains all the e-mails posted that day.

There is a regular coterie of posters (Larry among them) and there are hundreds (or perhaps even thousands though I doubt that number) of lurkers who may post once a year, or less. I am one of those lurkers. It's sometimes very interesting but also sometimes when someone gets a bee in their bonnet it can get tedious. There are some people on the list who feel they know everything there is to know about every aspect of musical theatre. They also feel there is only one opinion, theirs, and that opinion can't possibly have anything wrong with it because it's their opinion. All other opinions need not apply. That's when it gets tedious. If you get the e-mails as they come in you learn which people can be deleted without reading their post(s).

When I can't find something it's usually right where it's supposed to be and I just didn't see it. I'm very good at looking right at something and not seeing it. I've learned to keep looking at where it's supposed to be.

Jack, you can't find CastRecL because it's not an Internet site. It's a moderated e-mail list serve, much like the old e-mail sites of years ago at the beginning of the Internet.

The overall theme of the list is musical theatre but there are sometimes off-topic messages. You have to send a note to the moderator with a verifiable e-mail address. He then approves you and you start receiving the e-mail, either as they are sent or you can choose to get one e-mail every day which contains all the e-mails posted that day.

There is a regular coterie of posters (Larry among them) and there are hundreds (or perhaps even thousands though I doubt that number) of lurkers who may post once a year, or less. I am one of those lurkers. It's sometimes very interesting but also sometimes when someone gets a bee in their bonnet it can get tedious. There are some people on the list who feel they know everything there is to know about every aspect of musical theatre. They also feel there is only one opinion, theirs, and that opinion can't possibly have anything wrong with it because it's their opinion. All other opinions need not apply. That's when it gets tedious. If you get the e-mails as they come in you learn which people can be deleted without reading their post(s).

Thank you, Ben. As another of the lurkers and one who has almost withdrawn my name on several occasions when it has gotten tedious, that's an awfully accurate depiction of the entity known as castrecl.

Oh, I did have to do something from my end on the Nook.  Once the book was downloaded it still didn't show up for me to read it.  She told me how to add it back into my books.  The 2nd person I talked to wanted me to add all my books back in.  I don't know how the Kindle works but on the Nook that would have opened every darn book back onto my home page-no way was I doing that.

on my kindle when i download a book it just appears on my kindle. And then i sort it into a corresponding folder (by author or genre).

Unlike you I don't have that many books unread.  Once I read them I put them into the "Nook Cloud".  All I ever see are the unread, or currently reading, books.

I have all my e-books on my kindle including the ones i've read. Once i read them i move them into read folders (in various genres).

You're right i do have a lot of unread e-books. I had bought a lot of free ones when i first got my kindle. Plus i have a bunch of  deals (99 cents or $1.99 ) for books I really want to read at some point.  With all of the series i read there are so many books that i'm wanting to read but just haven't gotten the chance to yet.

We, like many offices, are closed today for President's Day.

I had the day off, too.  I was just going to stay home and watch TV, but my friend Margo called and asked if I wanted to go to the movies with her and Marsha.  I said, "Sure!"  We went to see "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit."  I'd never seen any of the Jack Ryan movies before, but this was pretty good.  Very tense action and mostly believable (for the most part) and the story made sense (for the most part). ;) It did have the droning mood music but otherwise, a pretty good movie, I thought.

Well, my missing cell phone has me all akimbo; I just moved my physical therapy up an hour to 11:15 since i am so unprepared to get out of the apartment.

DR George helped me with this photo from page 12 of the October 1981 issue of BLUEBOY magazine, where the hot new cabaret act "Just Good Friends" was featured on page 12, before the photos of the naked porn stars took over.  We were featured as the thing to see in Manhattan.

While I was working at Tower Records around 1983-84, one of the clerks kept telling me, you look so familiar but I can't think why.  I assumed it was because of the act or from working at Drama Book Shop or the Men's Chorus. One day as I was leaving Tower Records he yelled out, you were in BLUEBOY!

Oy! the things we do for fame!

Glad to help!  That is a great picture, too!

The omens were not good for me this morning. I got to the bus stop, a location for two buses I can take to 96th Street. After waiting for 15 minutes. with no sign of either bus arriving, I was freezing, so  I came home and canceled my appointment for today. I cannot go tomorrow because of a ROBERTA rehearsal, so I guess I'm going on Wednesday.

And I found my cell phone. It was charging and i forgot about that. Shoot me. Please.

There've been several times where I've set down my phone while doing something and I forgot where I put it.  Fortunately, I've never lost it.  Hopefully, I won't.

The fact that I now clearly remember recharging it last night and that I saw it was charged up when I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night really freaks me out that this morning I had no idea, absolutely no idea of where it was. Oy.



When I charge my phone I leave it on top of my purse so I don't forget about it.  Maybe you can charge your phone next to your keys.

I have a couple of long-life batteries and since they're bigger than the regular ones, they charge on the charger without being attached to my phone.  When one battery is getting low (one bar of power), I put in my other battery to charge at night and it's right next to my bed on a dresser, so I can't miss it.  I swap it out in the morning and am good to go.
