Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a blur, and now it is time for you to post until the blurry cows come home.

Good morning, all! I slept very soundly last night. At 11:00 I turned out my reading light and that's all I remember. I wasn't up once for a bathroom break, and that's a real rarity.

My bathroom, except for the big hole in the ceiling, looks like a cleaner version of the room from last Sunday, and it smells of Pinesol from yesterday's mopping and scrubbing.  For all my complaining about the mess and the cleanup, it was good exercise, and I'm glad my health is good enough to permit that. When the crew comes in to repair the ceiling, I'll know in advance so I can clean out the room and I'll take the opportunity to throw out crap I no longer need.

So, yesterday, I moved my physical therapy appointment to tomorrow, and I will shortly head down to Toyland. I need to print out some lists from Alex Rybeck, and to photocopy from the Cole Porter collections several possible songs for the Cincinnati medley. Joshie asked me to call him after 11:15; he might have a job (!!!) for me, and I'm certainly curious.

Good morning, all.

Today I must set about replacing the cartridge (turntable, not printer) and preparing for an AVENUE Q meeting this evening.

And cleaning mine own bathroom, which is overdue.

And being ready to jump into the fray to order a Twilight Time Blu-ray or three when they go on sale at 4 pm.  Oy.

Coffee!

Wednesday morning greetings!  After 4 days in a row of having to set an alarm and be someplace at a specific time, I'm enjoying a day with nothing on the calendar.  It's raining quite hard in SW Ohio, which makes it a good day to stay home and putter.

Good news from DR ELMORE!

Last night I listened to my three new CD's.  I enjoyed the Patty Duke CD.....too bad her Folk Song album was never released....well I don't think it was ever really mixed either....but she does some nice work on it.

Of course LIL ABNER was great.  Those songs are so clever and fun.....

I listened to about six or seven songs from PARADE and I liked it much more than I thought I would.....I shall listen to the rest of it......sometime.  DePauw is producing it next September, so I thought I should know it.

Has this ever happened to you?

Last night, I dreamed that the phone was ringing, so I really opened my eyes, reached over to the phone next to my bed and answered it; said "Hello".  Of course, nobody was there, and in checking the phone's digital record this morning, no call had come in.

Actually, the same thing happened about a month or so ago.

 :o

I wonder if somebody is trying to reach me from "the other side".

Good morning, everyone!

Slipping in to say thank you again for all the good wishes for my mom's health. She's doing marginally better, but ICU on a ventilator is fun for no one. As her body clears out the toxins out from before the surgery, things are slowly improving. I hope to have more good news and soon. But truly, thank you all!   :)

Oh yes, and Happy Orthographer's Hump Day, where every hump is spelled correctly.  :P

I attended an open-air unveiling of murals yesterday at our County Administration Building.

The president of our Board of Supervisors addressed the crowd and extolled the virtues of the murals' message (community) and praised all the "involvees" associated with their creation.

"Involvees"?  I was fairly certain this non-word had not entered our vocabulary, and a later check revealed Google's complete and untainted confusion over my query as to a definition of it.

Involvees, indeed (or is this one of those orthographic "humps"?).

Vixdad was offered a 18 month  gig in New York  he saw it as a working holiday -  he  took side trips to  Niagra Falls, Washington DC , Florida as well as exploring NYC  his plan was: after the 18 months was up to get a job in California explore the west coast a bit and then get a job in Austrailia...  but then he met  me and I am afraid I derailed his plans

Sweet story though too bad you didn't finish his travel plans together before settling down ;)

DR Jane you are a super fast reader. I can't imagine that it could take you more than 3 days to finish a book. I wouldn't be worried about 21 days for 2 books

I'm not really worried but I am trying to read less.  I only got a few chapters into the book last night.  I am enjoying it and was proud of myself for sleeping instead of reading.

I expect at least one more library book to become available and while I know the odds are I will easily read the two books in 21 days I like to not have to feel rushed.  One never knows what unknown will interfere with my reading.

Let me know if anyone else is having issues posting.  I had horrible e-mail issues today, because AOL, without telling anyone, decided that I couldn't send mail without doing a security thing.  I found that out only by going to the AOL site directly and trying to send from there.  Once I'd filled in the security letters and numbers all was well.

It's been both a wonderful day and an irritating day.  Things are just bugging me in certain ways, but we had a lovely work session, and the six songs we worked on are sounding great in Sandy's voice.  Then I picked up the signed limitation sheet and took that to get copied - it won't be ready until morning because I'm having them trim them, too.  Then I had a cup of soup and a sandwich, and I also picked up a peanut butter chocolate thing from K's Donuts.  I was right there because Grant only lives two minutes away, and they had a few left.

For those who ordered the limited edition - my instinct is to also include a personalized signature on the title page - what do you think?

I believe that instinct is the correct one, sir!     :)

Signing is April 20, a Sunday - we used to do Saturdays but Sundays they say are better - I think we did that last year, too.

Easter Sunday...

Tonight on ENCORE FAMILY at 10:25 p.m. EST we have THE LONG HOT SUMMER with Newman, Woodward, Welles, Franciosa, and Remick.....I think I will watch it.

Tonight (actually, in about a half hour), I will be leaving work to go downtown to see an evening of improv, Something Wicked Strikes Back! (http://www.harlequinproductions.org/season/2014/improv/something_wicked.php).  Several of the improvers are friends of mine, and I missed their first show, so I'm looking forward to it.  They're going to do one every other month, but since it's all improv, every show will be very different.  I actually paid for a ticket!  I'm not ushering for it.  That'll be really weird! ;)

Back from Divergent. The new theatre is pretty nice. They made 12 inches of extra leg room so that was crazy. People could pass by you while you were sitting.

The movie was very good. From what I remember of the book it seemed to follow a lot of it very closely.

My only small problem with the theatre was that the smell of paint was too strong for me personally. I had to hold a candy to my nose. It was fine during the movie. But the movie didn't start on time. So it bothered me more then.

It was very good. I think fans of the books will be happy. I may have to re-read the last parts of the book to check how similar it was to the movie. Oops scratch that since I lent my copy to my sister who is not the fastest reader. Oh well i'm sure somebody will go through a check list of what was added/missing.

One thing I noticed is that Kate Winslet is in the movie. And I guess they wanted to show her a lot. So they seemed to focus on her in a lot of scenes. I'm also wondering if they added a few scenes for her. I'll have to look into this.

Be back later with a report!

And I'm back with a report.  Tonight's improv show wasn't like the "Who's Line Is It, Anyway?" show, where they take suggestions from the audience and do quick little skits.  This was a whole show where they obviously had an outline for the concept and presented a play that was improvised.  It's a little too complicated to try and explain the plot, but it was pretty funny. 
Title: Re: THE DAY THAT WAS A BLUR
Post by: George on March 19, 2014, 11:26:52 PM
They had a fairly large cast (more than 12 people), but they only had two women.  Several people in the audience during the intermission and after the show mentioned this.  It would've been easier for their "story" if the cast was a little more diverse.  But they were all good.  It wasn't a full house, but a good time was had by all. :)

Theater Artists Olympia (I'm on their board) want to do a play handled by Samuel French (which also handles BK's "Yearbook: The High School Musical").  I'm filling out the application and they want information that I don't have.  Hopefully, I can get it quickly enough.

I need to stop and go back later.  They (Samuel French) needs to know the rehearsal dates and I don't know that.  Also, I don't know if I will need to buy scripts or if we already have some. :)
