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

And the word of the day is: VIZARD!

My sister loved the original "Dune" movie...I think. I know she loved the books (at least, until Frank Herbert died). I may have to get "Jodorowski’s Dune" for her birthday in September. She might be interested...or she might not. I think it sounds pretty interesting.
-
BK, about the play-offs that you recorded, what if you offered them as separate MP3 downloads? When the show, "It's Only Life" was recorded, the transitions were made available as free downloads (http://www.psclassics.com/cd_itsonlylife.html). Since you recorded them, it would be a shame to waste them, and they would be nice bonus for those (like me) who like such things. :)
Just a thought.
-
Morning all.
That is all.

Wow, DR George - thank you! I didn't know about these. Now, if only they told you WHERE these transitions should be inserted in the running order of the CD! ::)

If you like Disney and you like close harmony, you won't want to miss this!

More interesting notes today on the album editing. Hope the project turns out to be everything you hoped it would be, bk!

Not sure if the polar vortex has officially arrived yet, but it is 60 degrees here!

Allons Enfants!!! Happy Bastille Day!!! Croissants for All!!!

DR CHAS SMITH - we WERE an independent metaphysical bookstore....selling new books, used books, candles, incense, stones, and assorted other like goodies. We also offered readings, hypnotism, cleansings, aura photos, and the like.
There are a couple of other stores in the area, so nobody will be left without a resource.....they are newer and better funded than we are, so I have always wished them well.
The metaphysical/wiccan community is so full of jealous, hateful people that there will be much joy that World of Wisdom is no more....and that is what makes me most sad.
-
Got it. And sorry to hear about that. A couple of close friends here would have loved that store. And I shall pass on to them what you said about the rampant jealousy in the community. I believe they'll recognize that and be equally sad about it.

And the word of the day is: VIZARD!

In other news...
Good morning, all.
Woke up way too early, but got back to sleep for another two blessed hours, which made all the difference. And now...
Coffee!
-
Good morning, all.
Happy Monday vibes!

TOD:
I won't go on about barbecue. If you want the real answer, buy the book in a couple of weeks.
But best barbecue: Usually the plate that's in front of me.
-
Oh yes, the TOD:
What DR John G. said, re the plate in front of me. Even if it isn't something truly great. Somehow it all goes down. With gusto. And there's never enough.

This morning I want Dino's pizza. Do they deliver this far?

-
Never had a Dino's pizza!
I'm depraved on account of I'm deprived.
-
Just popped a Benadryl.
Probably should have enjoyed one or two over the weekend, but after this morning's couple of sneezing fits, I said "enough is enough!"
Yes, that's exactly what I said.
Relief is on the way.

My stepdaughter lost her house in the Oregon wildfire.
She was able to get her dogs out, but lost her cats and everything else.
So, sad.

Yes, it is. So sorry for her loss.

Good morning, all! I did not get to therapy today. Last night, the nerve in the heel of my left foot refused to give in to any drugs and kept me up very late with short jabs of pain. So, I was not asleep by midnight, more like somewhere after 1:30. So, this morning,the 6:00 alarm didn't ring, and I slept until 9:15 or so, called therapy and apologized, and went back to bed.
So, this day bodes bad, but I hope not. I may visit with my friend Arlo later; I want to hear how his Frank Loesser show went, and i can always continue the apartment clean up.

DR JRand63, I'm so sorry abut WOW. I always wanted to drop in and watch you at work.

Bruce: I re-read your notes about "The Time Machine" and have to say I agree with you...wholly. Not only wholly, but wholly wholly.
It looks absolutely amazing on Blu ray. The funniest thing, though: I had read the BluRay.com review of the movie in which the reviewer employed a curious use of damnation amidst faint praise, all the while posting screen caps to make his points about how the film looks. Strange thing in this case: The screen caps looked absolutely wonderful and vibrant and totally belied the reviewer's comments.
Ah, well.
-
So sorry Druxy. Will pray for your Stepdaughter!
-
I Love Barbeques.
I think I like Kraft and Baby Rays the Best.
-
Two!

South African novelist Nadine Gordimer has died. Only read one of her books, "A World of Strangers," and that was while I was in South Africa. Loved the writing style, but so much had changed in South Africa by then that it seemed dated.
-
DR Druxy, so sorry to hear about your step-daughter's home. Where in Oregon?
-
TOD:
Baby back ribs!
-
For some reason Amazon.com and Netflix are not working on my new smart tv.
Netflix hasn't worked for a few weeks, but for Amazon.com it has been just recently.
Youtube works fine.
I don't know what is the matter, but I hope it is an easy fix which does not require taking my giant tv into a repair shop.

We would like some Polar Vortex in Salem, Oregon, 97301 please. It is supposed to be near 100 every day this week.
Yesterday we have some rain and thunderstorms, and it was very nice.
-
Last night I finally watched, for the very first time, the 1939 HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME. What a magnificent film! Why have I avoided it all of these years???
I am now eager to see the silent Lon Chaney version and then the 1960s Pakistani version.
I will probably pass on the Demi Moore/Jason Alexander verions, however.
-
DR Druxy, so sorry to hear about your step-daughter's home. Where in Oregon?
Klamath Falls.

Thoughts and prayers for your step-daughter DR DRUXY.....
-
Thanks DR CHAS SMITH and DR ELMORE......I of course was only working one day a week, but it still makes me a little sad. I have been there since 2006.....my sister Molly started working there under the previous owner in the late 90's....and my sister bought the store in 2007.
I am officially OUT OF WORK with nothing on the horizon for the first time since 1994.

Gosh! Have you considered doing some theater work?

TOD: Little Pigs of America barbecue still vibes as the best BBQ I've ever eaten. It was a franchise in South Carolina and it was delish.
I've had some ribs, from a local store in east Oakland, that are really good, as well.
I like all kinds of Barbecue but I'm more intrigued/aligned now with Carolina BBQ that is mustard-based.
I buy Kinder's BBQ sauce....original to which I add a little apple vinegar to sour it just a tad.
Kinder's also makes a Carolina-style sauce I enjoy very much.
-
That's terrible news, DR Druxy. Vibes of comfort and recovery for all concerned.

That was my first, too. I think it was the "known", current one when we wuz kids. It was years before I saw the Chaney or Laughton.
DR MBarnum, someone told me there's an interesting Pakastani DRACULA, too. Do you know it?
-
I don't think I've seen that Quinn/Lollabrigida HUNCHBACK since my teen years, and have no real memories of it.

Why the latter post? Because I stumbled across it quite by accident, because it's peppy, because Debbie Reynolds is so impossibly young in it and because it made me feel good to watch it.

Song of lament by a "To Kill A Mockingbird" addict:
Why is it I spend the day
Wake up and end the day
Thinking of Boo?
Oh, why does it do this to me
Is it such bliss to be
Thinking of Boo?
And when I fall asleep at night, it seems
Boo just tiptoes into all my dreams.
So, I think of no other one
Ever since I've begun
Thinking of Boo!
-
DR Druxy, so sorry to hear about your step-daughter's home. Where in Oregon?
Klamath Falls.
DR MBarnum look up the the Moccasin Fire near Sprague River. It is NE of the town.
-
DR Druxy, After reading she lost everything, including her cats, I'm glad she has her dogs. Where is she now and are her dogs with her?
Thinking about her cats is very upsetting. I wish her vibes of comfort!

I thought the movie was just ok but then I didn't expect it to be as good as the book.

There was a review in Sunday's Washington Post of the new bio of Harper Lee. It seems that in her hometown, there's a restaurant named Radley's. How appetizing is that?

I like that you slept in. Sleep better tonight!

The cafeteria near my desk stopped the really bad Indian food station they had (in which the food was made by people who had never tasted Indian food before) and they've opened a barbecue stand.
I'm curious, but not enough to brave the long line that's greeted its opening day. I'll wait to hear how the brisket is before placing an order.
-
And one to grow on.
-
Three!

Hopefully, being where they are, they have some idea of what it needs to taste like.
But you never know. For years, you couldn't get a Chicago hot dog anywhere at O'Hare.

She's staying with her sister.

Yes, it is titled Zinda Lash. It is from the 1960s and is pretty good, as I recall.

Paul McCartney is coming to San Antonio for a benefit. Tickets are in the $1,000-$3,000 range except for a laughably few $250 seats.
Even those of us who usher were told we would have to sign up and then names would be drawn. You also have to usher so many times before that.

I had lunch with Arlo at Luke's Lobster, which is a block away from my apartment. I had a fantastic lobster roll. Now i want to try their crab and shrimp rolls.

I have spent most of the morning fighting the Trojan War. Yes, dear friends, my computer has a virus. In spite of the fact that I have just about every spy ware known to man or machine. I noticed a few days ago that the computer was acting rather wonky, but I was not feeling up to thinking about it. This morning it was acting very strange, so I pulled up a PC Anit-Mal Ware device that I had never used.
Twenty minutes later it had brought up a list of garbage and cookies, plus one Zumo(?) and one Trojan. The program suggested I ignore the Zumo, and quarantine the Trojan. So, I hit CLEAN and off it went. A few long minutes later it said that all was good. A minute later, the damn thing started another scan. When that finished, all the garbage and cookies were gone, but Zumo and Trojan were still there. So I hit CLEAN again and it came back fixed. A few minutes later it started to scan again.............. Well, you get the idea.
Finally I switched the action from quarantine to delete; and now three times later I think it is gone.

George, did you know that Kyle is from Yakima. He did a show at Tacoma Actor's Guild while he was waiting for them to release DUNE.

Ditto! I will be intersted to hear what Mr. Kander thinks of the CD.

Not sure if the polar vortex has officially arrived yet, but it is 60 degrees here!
I hope it ends soon. It is because of your polar vortex that we are having this heat wave in the Northwest.

I am sorry to read that DR Druxy. My best wishes to your step-daughter and my sympathy to her on her loss.
-
Jrand, I am so sorry to read about the closing of the bookstore.
-
I'm really looking forward to this CD. It'll be especially fascinating after having read of all these fixes. I just (cough) acquired a (cough) copy of the PC score. If it's as challenging as it sounds (and I don't disbelieve that for a minute), it will be highly amusing to sit down and have a tough go at it one of these days.
-
Monday (late) afternoon greetings! I slept until 10:30 this morning, which is later than I ever sleep. The weekend must have finally caught up with me. After a bit of puttering I went to visit Mom to deliver some ice cream and wedding cake and to tell her about the festivities.
-
Vibes and prayers for DR Druxy's stepdaughter!

Jrand, I am so sorry to read about the closing of the bookstore.
I am, too. Remember when Richard, Rob, and I visited there?

I want to go with you!

Well, we've got ourselves another good thunderstorm going on here. What a summer.
-
I'm loving this polar vortex. It's 71 right now and will be down to 49 degrees tonight. I've got my Explorers sweatshirt on and will be heading out to see a baseball game. They do serve food there, including barbeque....maybe I'll get some pulled pork nachos. They are really pretty yummy.

A baseball game in football weather.

Dancing like no one is watching. Not the most flattering photo but you see I was having fun (I'm in khakis and an orangish shirt)

And tonight.....off to see my buddy and the Explorer's mascot Slider the dog

Shortly before Keith was about to leave for a doctor's appointment he received a call to change it. Thank goodness he hadn't left yet.

Have more fun!

it's not a very good photo of Slider, he's a cutie. Let me see if I can find a better one

Here's Slider. He's so cute he always makes me smile

There were two people from my high school class who died last week. One fell down the stairs and hit her head, fractured her skull and died. The other had several heart attacks- the last two in the hospital, and she also died. Their funerals were in different states at the same time. Pretty eerie. I knew them both pretty well, but especially Candy who was one of my best friends back in the 5th grade.
Anyway, between that and thinking about the upcoming 25th anniversary of the crash of flight 232 this weekend, I've decided life is definitely too short not to have fun. So that's what I intend to do.
-
Thanks, everyone.....but I probably won't be looking for work. If I am supposed to have something, it will come along. A bit of extra income would be nice.....but it would just be more taxes to pay at the end of the year.
We shall see what happens.
-
Yes DR JANE it is too bad they are like that....I am sure more than ONE party will be held to celebrate our demise.
-
The Laughton/O'Hara HUNCHBACK is the first one I saw....on television....it was most terrifying.
-
Dancing like no one is watching. Not the most flattering photo but you see I was having fun (I'm in khakis and an orangish shirt)

-
DR Cillaliz, I'm so sorry to hear about your two classmates.
-
Cillaliz, my condolences on the loss of your friends.
-
Very sorry for your losses, DR Cillaliz.
-
The Laughton/O'Hara HUNCHBACK is the first one I saw....on television....it was most terrifying.
I was pretty young when friends came over to watch it on the tv with my sister and me. It may have been the beginning of my love for old movies. I knew nothing about what we were going to watch or why I should be excited to see it.
-
DR Cilla, my condolences to you on the loss of your childhood friends. For a long while after my breaks I did not feel steady on stairs. The thought of someone actually dying from a fall like that is disturbing.
-
I'm so sorry about your stepdaughter, DR Druxy.
-
Thanks everyone and yes it is disturbing. I feel bad but we hadn't been in contact for a number of years, so it's not the same sort of emotional loss that it would be if we were still close. Still it was a shock and has made me think.
-
Condolences to DR cillaliz.
-
Sorry about your stepdaughter's house DR Druxy and deepest condolences for the loss of the cats
-
Time to go to the game.....laters
-

DR Jane, she was in very good shape. You just never know
-
Finished with liner notes two. Have to watch a movie to begin liners three, but I have to download it from some site as it's never been on home video.
-
Sorry to hear about all these irritations and sadnesses for dear readers.
-
I was talking to a childhood friend today asking about her brother who has cancer. He is doing surprisingly well and seems to have bought some time, how long they don't know. As my friend said she could go first & she is going to live her life the best she can.

We had a similar situation for being able to usher for Joan Baez, who will be in town next week. Those who had more volunteer hours had a better chance at getting it, and those who ushered or worked concessions more often for the end-of-year dance recitals (that very few like to do) also got a better chance of getting it.
I get to usher for the Joan Baez concert. :D

There is a published vocal selections, but they're not any of the arrangements in the show. They're all just the (usually) simple songbook arrangements from the original shows...not too helpful, although the title song to "Kiss of the Spider Woman" was in this show before the first production of that show, so it doesn't have the key change that was put in for Chita.

There is a published vocal selections, but they're not any of the arrangements in the show. They're all just the (usually) simple songbook arrangements from the original shows...not too helpful, although the title song to "Kiss of the Spider Woman" was in this show before the first production of that show, so it doesn't have the key change that was put in for Chita.
Well, color me ignorant!
(The humorous subtitle of my Autobiography, Vol. IV - The Ignorant Years.)
I just had a look at this here score, and sure enough, no key change. If I ever knew about that, I forgot it long ago. (Haven't listened to this in, like, forever.) But I'm stunned. That key change is wonderful -- especially in how it returns for the second verse.
Thank God for Chita.

Here's Slider. He's so cute he always makes me smile
Our mascot in town for the San Antonio Missions is the Puffy Taco.
I'll have to find a photo.

Paul McCartney is coming to San Antonio for a benefit. Tickets are in the $1,000-$3,000 range except for a laughably few $250 seats.
Even those of us who usher were told we would have to sign up and then names would be drawn. You also have to usher so many times before that.
We had a similar situation for being able to usher for Joan Baez, who will be in town next week. Those who had more volunteer hours had a better chance at getting it, and those who ushered or worked concessions more often for the end-of-year dance recitals (that very few like to do) also got a better chance of getting it.
I get to usher for the Joan Baez concert. :D
You must be one of, or the, top usher.
I was in the top 10 (actually #10) with the most hours volunteered for this past season.
Nice. I doubt I will be a top volunteer. But I do want to usher for Renee Fleming. Six days after Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr takes the stage. I'm signed up for Ringo.

I've decided life is definitely too short not to have fun. So that's what I intend to do.
Amen. And very sorry about the loss of your friends.

Yes, yes YES!!!!
Sharknado 2 takes on NYC. This looks hilarious.

Watching a not-so-great video of the 1993 LA production of Company. No credits at the beginning but it turns out that DR Robert Yacko is in the cast as Paul. And Carol Burnett is a great Joanne.

I actually like it better without the key change, like Patti's versions of "With One Look" and "As If We Never Said Goodbye." The key changes (to me) seem very awkward...it's not called an "unprepared modulation" for nothing. Of course, you need someone like Patti or Robert Cuccioli who have the range to be able to sing them without the key change.

My sister loved the original "Dune" movie...I think. I know she loved the books (at least, until Frank Herbert died). I may have to get "Jodorowski’s Dune" for her birthday in September. She might be interested...or she might not. I think it sounds pretty interesting.
George, did you know that Kyle is from Yakima. He did a show at Tacoma Actor's Guild while he was waiting for them to release DUNE.
That's pretty cool! I think I did know that, but I probably hadn't thought about it in a long time.
That's me. A fount of useless knowledge.

I've been accused of being that for most of my life. I feel I'm in good company now.

Monday (late) afternoon greetings! I slept until 10:30 this morning, which is later than I ever sleep. The weekend must have finally caught up with me. After a bit of puttering I went to visit Mom to deliver some ice cream and wedding cake and to tell her about the festivities.
Ginny, I loved the photos from the wedding.
-
Well, it's time for me to leave work and go home. Be back later.
-
Time to get some sleep.
Good night, all.

Yes, what a pair we are!

Cilla, I am so sorry about your friends. I feel like I lost an entire generation of my friends in the 80's.

Another three days of hot weather before we get some relief.

By Friday it is supposed to drop into the seventies.

Page five? Really?

Got a small thing of mac-and-cheese and some Super Chinese slaw for my snack and am now finished with my viewing.

Page six? Really?

I can't wait!!

I have to get to bed early tonight (meaning, NOW) because in the morning, several of us from the Collections Management department are taking a field trip! Tomorrow, we're going to visit the Pierce County Library to see how they do some things and we have to leave early. And we weren't told if we HAVE to bring our lunch, or if it's just okay to bring our own lunch. I'm not prepared to make my own lunch, so I hope I leave enough time to stop at some place like Subway before I go to work. There's one that very close. On Thursday, we're going on another trip, but that'll be to visit the Ft. Vancouver Regional Library and see how they do some things. That will have an even earlier start time. :P

I actually wanted to be in bed by 11:00 pm, but tomorrow night will be the Theater Artists Olympia board meeting where the new officers who have just been elected will be installed as the new officers. I had to put together the treasurer's report (essentially, just print out our check book balance) and I also printed the final voting numbers for all the positions that were up for election this year, which was everything but treasurer. There are some changes, and not all will be happy changes...well, a couple of people won't be happy. I'll be up for re-election next year. AND Wednesday is the cut-off for invoicing at work, so I have so little time and so much to do in the next few days. I hate it when that happens! :o
-
Anyway, I'm off to bed.
Good night and have a good day tomorrow!
