Well, you've read the notes, the notes danced and had both five and seven veils, and now it is time for you to post until the veiled cows come home.

And the word of the day is: SKEIGH!

First post after BK!

~~~Continued Vibes Regarding the Bad Stuff and the Letter!!~~~
"The Bad Stuff and the Letter"...BK, that can be the title of your exposé of the whole situation.
;)

T.O.D.
I asked this the other day , but didn't get an answer.
Wouldn't you consider "Twin Soliloquies" to be the I Want song in SOUTH PACIFIC?

"Twin Soliloquies" was an I Want song before the invention of the I Want song. :)

In my opinion.

And now I must go to bed. Today is going to be a day. I have to be at work early because I'm on the hiring committee to hire the replacement of one of our selectors who just retired. We have to get through eight, count 'em, EIGHT Skype interviews, starting at 10:00 am. They'll be a half-hour each with 15 minutes in between. We will have a lunch break, but still I've never Skyped before. Fortunately, I just have to sit there, take notes, and possibly ask a (prepared) question or two.
I hope we get someone really good!
-
Good night, Tom (and 39 guests)!

good morning to all

vibes to everyone who needs them

well i am glad the poop didn't hit the fan yesterday or the bathrooms would have been biohazard areas.
It was bad enough where it did end up going.
I really admire people who are plumbers and can work in poop. The aroma doesn't seem to bother them. For me I just want to gag.
I washed the affected area with lemon scented bleach.
fingers crossed that this will never happen again.
I'm glad it was my day off when it happened.
-
And health vibes to Vixmon's Phil who is in the hospital.

ASK BK
Will this unpleasantness preclude you from doing any future projects for LACC?

ASK BK
Have you ever thought of reviving of your past play success like: The Good One, Together Again & Stages?

Yesterday's word was Ambrosia.
I forgot to post the lyrics to this song by the sadly missed writing team
AMBROSIA SALAD
Music by Hinky Meltz Lyrics by Ernest Ernest
The world is moving too fast
And so are the songs they play.
They’re manic and antic
They’re making me frantic
They’re none too romantic
Or gay…
So, it’s time to be gentle
And yes, sentimental
It’s time for a ballad
Like Ambrosia Salad…
Life can be sweet
Like Ambrosia Salad
Like when you eat
Some Ambrosia Salad
You feel very fruity and fine
And your life is whipped cream and divine
Life can be grand
Like Ambrosia Salad
Fresh fruit or canned
In Ambrosia Salad
But whether it’s fresh or it’s canned
With a cherry life’s not very bland.
You’ll find in Ambrosia
A tiny marshmallow
That makes you feel mellow and gooey.
When you eat Ambrosia
You look at the bad things in life
And you simply say phooey.
And
Life is a treat
Like Ambrosia Salad
Life is complete
Like Ambrosia Salad
It’s filled with those flavors that burst
And life is the best not the worst -
So, when you feel cursed
When you’re feeling sub-par
Just know that Ambrosia’s not very far
Away…
So make life an Ambrosia Salad
Today.

Well DR ELMORE, don't feel too bad. There is a typo on Page Two of the TWO ROADS sheet music. I only mention it because no one else has.

Good morning, all.
A strange night -- one that began not too warm but very muggy, and ended quite cool, with a couple of bizarre dreams to keep things interesting. Overall, the sleep was okay, but I really could have done without the dream in which for some reason I had to fake being able, and prepared, to sing in this quartet or quintet in some kind of major contest. Yessirree, I really could have done without that one. Thank goodness for having to pee and adjust sheets and blankets at 5:30 in the morning, or I might still be trapped in it.
Coffee!

Good night, Tom (and 39 guests)!

Wonderful, Jrand. Congratulations on a very successful show and run!

We watched HER last night, and neither my wife nor I really liked it. (I won't go into the reasons.)
However, the movie contained one line of dialogue that I loved:
"The past is just a story that we tell ourselves."

I did a book trailer for my friend, Diane McBain. The title of her memoir is FAMOUS ENOUGH.

Good morning, all! I've been delayed with too many emails of needless tsuris from Philadelphia. I will be spending a god deal of time tomorrow or Friday at the NYPL Theatre Collection, hopefully uncovering things to refute email issues.
I saw my super this morning, and he says he will get to the bathroom tomorrow or Friday. If he does nt, I will contact the apartment management on Monday, which will be three months and two days since the ceiling fell in, and ask them to bring in a crew to finish it since the super's got too much work on his hands. I like him and do not want to cause him problems, but I want the damned ceiling repaired and everything in my living space back where it belongs.
DR vixmom, god news about your father-in-law!
DR JRand63, vibes for tonight's show!

Hmmmm...5 veils....
How about "5 Brides for 5 Brothers"?
And why did they need "7 Days in May"? Wouldn't "5 Days in May" have been sufficient?
And why did Dr. Lao need 7 faces? Three would not have been enough? Four?
Come to think of it, why can't there be a new TV series entitled "75 Sunset Strip"?

Oh, what the heck!

While BK has been exploring the wonders of Netflix streaming, I have been doing the same with Amazon.com streaming...finding all sorts of goodies!
The other night I watched an episode of Shower of the Stars hosted by William Lundigan and featuring Jack Benney. Guests were Hedy Lamarr and Gale Storm. For one solid hour I laughed and laughed!
I also found several B grade 1940s murder mysteries, many I was not familiar with. Several take place in radio studios, which is sub-genre I love!
-

Good morning. A good hike up South Mountain before it got too hot. It was 93F when I got back down to the bottom of the mountain.
-
Hedy Lamarr AND Gale Storm? That certainly is a shower of stars.
Thanks DR FJL.....it's nice to sell lots of tickets. Yes DR SINGDAW I like the dice, too....I asked the set painter to do them because I was tired of seeing so much BLACK STAGE FLOOR.
Yes, DR MBARNUM it is fun!

I'm up after a lousy night's sleep, maybe four hours. Why? Because after I wrote the notes I got a call and that call was really kind of the call I've been waiting for - it was about the bad business and I now, finally, know everything that went on - how it began, how it escalated and most importantly WHO was responsible for keeping (or attempting to keep) the atmosphere toxic. That person failed, but boy did that person try. I heard so many things that it was more mind-boggling than the things I heard at dinner. In fact, the person who was telling me this had reported this person for what this person was doing - reported her to the same person who was in charge of finding things out. That person, rather than stopping that behavior, which was completely out of control, out of bounds and out of line, did nothing. So, yes, I think a second letter will be going out with all this new information because I want it all on the record.
-
I, for one, will be glad to know the specifics of said "bad business" when it is safe for you to write specifically about it.
-
I, for two, am glad it's nearly Noon.
-
For Three, I am kind of groggy and sore-throatish this morning. I don't know why.

KevinH, do write a Red Gold review.

Had a nice lunch meeting with a nice lady from the LACC Foundation.
-
Then I came home and polished my rough letter. The attorney and I just had a long telephonic conversation and he was frankly hornswoggled by what I've learned - so much wrong here, so many improprieties. He's going to polish it further, add on an ending paragraph, and he's definitely going to make it "legally" stronger. And this time he will be in the cc line.
-
So I decided that I didn't want the lawn service to spray chemicals in my yard anymore. I wrote an email to their website May 30 and asked to cancel, they sprayed on May 31. I wrote again on June 9 asking them to stop...they sprayed pesticide on June 10. I wrote another letter last night and left a message that wasn't very pleasant. Today I called them and threatened a restraining order and told them that if one of their people come on my yard I will call the police and report them for trespassing. The man said they have cancelled me and won't be back.
The weed killer they sprayed after I asked them to stop killed the weeds where the baby bunnies were and I think that's why the cat found them.
Anyway, we're taking bets on whether they will be back. They have a reputation for not stopping.
-
If felt good. I offered to tell people off if they needed it
-
Have they billed you for the first two?
-
They billed me for the first one and since I didn't know if they had gotten the notice in time to cancel it, I did pay that. I got billed for the second one but I told them today that there was no way I was paying it. The guy on the phone said that he took care of it. It's only $36, but I won't pay it.
-
Another delay! >:(

I must admit, I'm not sad that they sprayed for bugs.

two more days of work and I'm taking a week off. I can't wait!!! Edith chose the week for her vacation, and I decided to take mine the same time. She picked a great time. It's the judges conference, the state bar meeting, the national immigration lawyers conference and more...so there's very little that will be happening at work. Good time to take off. I'm mostly going to stay home.
-
Well, not HOME, but in town. I'm planning to do this tourist in your own town thing and go to 10 different tourist sites and get a stamp and you can win prizes. It's mostly museums. Most of them I haven't been to in a long time and it would be fun to go. If I don't do them all, that's ok.

I'm also going to do a couple day trips and do some cleaning and sorting. As always it's much more than I can do in a week, but that's ok. If I don't do any of it, it won't matter.

I must admit, I'm not sad that they sprayed for bugs.
;D
-
Another delay! >:(
Good grief! How long have you been waiting?
Two hours now. Another 1:30 at least to go.
SAFE AND PLEASANT FLIGHT VIBES ONCE YOU ARE IN THE AIR!!!

two more days of work and I'm taking a week off. I can't wait!!! Edith chose the week for her vacation, and I decided to take mine the same time. She picked a great time. It's the judges conference, the state bar meeting, the national immigration lawyers conference and more...so there's very little that will be happening at work. Good time to take off. I'm mostly going to stay home.
Not even going to a conference-enjoy your time off.

I'm watching the Dateline on the anniversary of the OJ chase. I was in the finals of a Karaoke contest that night. I didn't win and always wished I had stayed home and watched it
-
So I decided that I didn't want the lawn service to spray chemicals in my yard anymore. I wrote an email to their website May 30 and asked to cancel, they sprayed on May 31. I wrote again on June 9 asking them to stop...they sprayed pesticide on June 10. I wrote another letter last night and left a message that wasn't very pleasant. Today I called them and threatened a restraining order and told them that if one of their people come on my yard I will call the police and report them for trespassing. The man said they have cancelled me and won't be back.
The weed killer they sprayed after I asked them to stop killed the weeds where the baby bunnies were and I think that's why the cat found them.
Anyway, we're taking bets on whether they will be back. They have a reputation for not stopping.
If you don't pay them, I would think they would cease and desist.
They have a reputation for doing this, then they keep billing. They are great until you decide you don't want them anymore. I know people who have stopped paying and they didn't stop
Sounds like our local newspaper. We finally had to remove the paper box so they couldn't deliver it.

That trial did a lot for me and how I tried cases. I became fascinated with the whole thing. It was that trial that led me to go to my first NACDL meeting to see Barry Scheck. I ended up joining and learned so much from the group. I was later on the board. It was a fabulous experience
-
As for the trial itself, I watched as much of it as I could. It really wasn't tried very well at all. I ended up reading 26 books about the case. I really learned a lot but I think the most important things were that the state clearly lost the case, they were way over confident and did some really stupid things. They didn't put on evidence that they had and they made stupid decisions. Marcia Clark thought black women would like her and relate to her so she wanted them on the jury. Johnnie Cochrane told Chris Darden he was going to have OJ try on the gloves knowing Darden wouldn't want to be upstaged. Sure enough Darden did it and of course leather that had been wet and tried was going to shrink. Hello..

Who is Ceelo (sp?) Green and why does he have a tv show on TNT?

What I learned that helped me win trials was that there was one member of the "dream team" who worked tirelessly, studied the evidence over and over and was more prepared than anyone else....Barry Scheck. He became my hero and I learned that the only way to win a trial is to know all the evidence better than anyone else in the courtroom. I started winning jury trials after that. The other lawyers were OK, but made a ton of mistakes. Some very basic ones. They may have been famous, but there's real doubt about whether they were a team
-
Well, I'm miffed (to quote Fanny Brice in Funny Girl). Barbra's in town and never even let me know:

Is that anyway to treat a fiancee? I think you should break off your engagement!
-
In the years following the trial, I met most of them. I got to know Barry through the NACDL and my respect for him only grew. I was lucky enough to meet Johnnie Cochran before he died. Johnnie was inspiring, not about the OJ case but about Geronimo Pratt, who he spent his entire career trying to free. He believed an innocent man had been convicted and eventually was able to get him released.

Nope. I can get my education either online or in the conferences nearby

I cancelled the Sunday paper two months ago and it's still delivered every week. Haven't gotten a bill

Ohh I came late to that party!

Anyway, I'm finding the Dateline story on the OJ case interesting. Maybe this would be a good time to sell my "Free OJ Don't squeeze the juice" shirt a friend bought for me at the courthouse the day she went to the trial

And where are you? I always travel with a long book. I can never find anything in an airport book store or newsstand.
Detroit. I have six books with me, at least. Plus nook on the phone.

I did a book trailer for my friend, Diane McBain. The title of her memoir is FAMOUS ENOUGH.

Very nice, Druxy.

Didn't mean to scare everyone away with talk of OJ, but hey they were posts
-
I think I have it all figured out:
It's TCB who put the bomp in the bomp-di-bomp-bomp!
I WAS framed!
-
Now I am going to go to bed and read. Good night
-
REBUKED.
-
Watching an interesting motion picture.
-
For lunch I had Pad Thai and a salad. For my snack a tuna sandwich on a bagel.
-
Enjoying a refreshing Vernors.
-
What a coincidence - so am I!! :)
-
A lull.

And now I must go to bed. Today is going to be a day. I have to be at work early because I'm on the hiring committee to hire the replacement of one of our selectors who just retired. We have to get through eight, count 'em, EIGHT Skype interviews, starting at 10:00 am. They'll be a half-hour each with 15 minutes in between. We will have a lunch break, but still I've never Skyped before. Fortunately, I just have to sit there, take notes, and possibly ask a (prepared) question or two.
I hope we get someone really good!
Well, today we had our eight, count 'em, eight Skype interviews for the position that's being hired at my work. I only had to ask one question of each candidate, although there were eight questions total. At first, based only on the applications, there was one that seemed ahead of the pack, but during the interviews, that one and another were well ahead of the other six.
-
We decided to have live interviews with those two and one more, who is an internal candidate. She (no spoilers there...all eight candidates were women) doesn't have the specific selection experience, but she has great knowledge of the collection, in general. So, we'll see what happens next!
-
Barring any conflicts from the candidates, the live interviews will be scheduled for June 30th.
-
Well DR ELMORE, don't feel too bad. There is a typo on Page Two of the TWO ROADS sheet music. I only mention it because no one else has.
Well, on the board, at least.
:)
-
Page six? Really?
-
Finished with my viewing. I'm so far beyond tired it's not even funny. And yet I just laughed and laughed and just when I thought I could laugh no more, I laughed again.
-
We are popular with the populace.
Tonight we continue our G/D run....with four more performances.
Front page of the local paper again...this time ABOVE THE FOLD.

PAGE SEVEN DANCE!!

I'm up after a lousy night's sleep, maybe four hours. Why? Because after I wrote the notes I got a call and that call was really kind of the call I've been waiting for - it was about the bad business and I now, finally, know everything that went on - how it began, how it escalated and most importantly WHO was responsible for keeping (or attempting to keep) the atmosphere toxic. That person failed, but boy did that person try. I heard so many things that it was more mind-boggling than the things I heard at dinner. In fact, the person who was telling me this had reported this person for what this person was doing - reported her to the same person who was in charge of finding things out. That person, rather than stopping that behavior, which was completely out of control, out of bounds and out of line, did nothing. So, yes, I think a second letter will be going out with all this new information because I want it all on the record.
As they say, "Give 'em hell, Harry!"
:D
-
I, for one, will be glad to know the specifics of said "bad business" when it is safe for you to write specifically about it.
Ditto.

The HBO documentary, 'Six By Sondheim', is now available for stream viewing on Amazon.
I got an Emmy For-Your-Consideration DVD, but I also just bought the officially released DVD (http://shop.warnerarchive.com/product/six+by+sonheim+%28hbo%29+%282014%29+1000505465.do?sortby=ourPicks&refType=&from=Search) from Warner Archives.

Tonight one of my favorite shows in returning, Suits. Does anybody here watch this? I highly recommend it.
I watch SUITS and thoroughly enjoy it...but my DVR crapped out tonight. I'll just record the re-broadcast at midnight, but I could've been watching it now. :P

Sounds like a very important lesson to learn...and almost the most obvious one. But good for you, Cilla.
