Well, you've read the notes, the notes had both stop and snap and pots and pans, and now it is time for you to post until the stop and snap cows come home.

And the word of the day is: MISTRAL!

Speaking of "Edge of Tomorrow," my library ordered 5 copies of it and they just came in. There are 42 holds, so it was rushed through. I have the very first hold, so I should get my copy today. ;) Also, the record is searchable by the alternate title of "Live, die, repeat : Edge of tomorrow"...just in case anyone else is confused by what the title is.
-
Well, I have a meeting in the morning, right when I'm normally supposed to get to work, so I need to get to work earlier than usual. It's with a rep from one of our very minor jobbers, so it shouldn't be a very long meeting.
-
After work, I have a fund raiser committee meeting for Theater Artists Olympia's "TAO of the Dead 2," and then call-backs for TAO's next production, an original musical adaptation called "The Head That Wouldn't Die," based on the movie "The Brain That Wouldn't Die." Should be interesting...they had the first round of auditions on Saturday and Sunday, but no women auditioned! There are a couple of female roles that have been pre-cast, but they still need a couple of other women. HOPEFULLY, some will show up tonight.

And now, to bed.

Wonderful news from Jane in last night's posts.

Loved INSIDE OUT when I saw it off Broadway at the Cherry Lane.

good morning to all

In 1968 my father took me to see the motion picture Paper Lion at the late Atwater Cinema. Sometime during the running of the film they stopped it and the lights came up. Many policemen and firemen came in with flashlights looking under the many seats. At that period of time in the history of Quebec and Montreal there were a lot of bomb threats and actually bombings. I remember we watched the rest of the film standing at the back of the cinema. My mother gave my father the riot act for not talking me out of there and right home.
-
Good morning, all.

Come back, DR MBarnum!

That is one beautiful and heartbreaking picture, BK.

Today feels like Monday since I had yesterday off. Definitely Monday.

Good morning, all! Another Paint Your Wagon day and a call at some point toJoshie; he's feeling a bit like a piece of taffy this past week, pulled hither and thither between the Encores! Gala, The Bandwagon, and the regular Encores! season, and I want to hear how he's coping.
That's my day. No money, no leaving home. Tomorrow, when my social security lands, I can step out to Toyland.

I think I've mentioned this once before in some context or other, but the craziest thing for me was probably the stink bomb being set off and the temporary evacuation of the Fox Venice during a showing of C*CKS*CKER BLUES in the mid-'70s.
A memorable evening, even if I recall almost nothing about the film itself.
And a memorable smell. :)

Good news from DR JANE last night RE: Her friend.
-
I took all of my younger brothers and sisters to see a movie....probably BENJY or BIGFOOT.....my brother Dane was sitting between my sister Myrna and I.
I went to hand Myrna her Coke - in a nice paper cup with ice - Dane was leaning up in his chair....just as my hand got behind him, he leaned back.
The Coke went all over him, and he was wearing the ice like a dunce cap.....the entire theatre was most amused....
-
Good morning, all.

I once went to the local revival theater to see "Singin' in the Srain" on the big screen. The print they received was missing the last reel but they had the finale of "An American in Paris." So that's how they closed out the screening.

Tuesday morning greetings! Rainy day here in SW Ohio...

TOD - During the end-of-year holidays in 1988, we took Rob, age 3, to his first theater movie, Disney's Oliver and Company. The coming attractions had already started when we arrived, so the theater was dark. As soon as the credits were over and the lights came up after the movie, Rob shot out of his seat and ran down front to examine the wall beneath the screen. When we asked him what he was doing, he said he was looking for where they put the video in.
-
Good morning. I spent the day outside yesterday. It is glorious here.

TOD:
I was in a theater watching "Gladiator". It is one of those theaters that has a cup holder and I had a large soda in the one by my seat. I had my jacket over the back of the seat. I got up for a quick trip to the men's room. When I returned, a woman was in my seat.
I approached her and said, "You're in my seat." She looked at me suspiciously and said, "There are plenty of other seats in this theater that are unoccupied."
"Yes," I agreed, "but those seats don't have my soda in the cup holder and my jacket on the back of the seat. The one you are in DOES have those things."
She jumped up and scurried away.

Update.
I woke up this morning in more pain than usual. Called out from work. Was able to see my knee doctor. Somehow a crack in the bone developed from the last time a MRI was taken in July (or the MRI didn't pick it up)
I am now out of work and off my feet for the next 4 weeks. They've order me a walker and a wheelchair.

We had a theater downtown called the Olympic - I went quite often when I was at LACC - three movies for under a buck and always older movies from the late 50s/early 60s but not a revival house. They showed Auntie Mame one week - with the reels out of order - it was surreal but not as surreal as the guy who died while it was showing.

I am so sorry to read your news, DR Mike.
On the plus side, we could have HHW wheelchair races together.

T.O.D.
I can't really think of anything, other than being stuck in the theater when the original Columbus Day Storm hit. I will always remember Mr. Spencer. the theater owner, standing in front of the exit doors, screaming, "No one leaves here, until they have called their parents and their parents have come to pick them up."
I guess we were lucky that we had no orphans in the theater, or kids who had parents that were out of town.

Thanks to everyone for the vibes for my MOM....she is doing well.

My book group discussion of ME BEFORE YOU this morning ran later than usual as it led us into talking about coping with these medical setbacks as we all get older. On of our members had a stroke a couple of years ago and has to use a walker. I know DR TCB can relate to her comments of how people respond to her now.

DR Ginny I suggest you consider the book for your group.

Interesting movie theater stories. I can't think of any unusual experiences, not even when I worked at the theater. I will ask Keith if he has any. At the moment he is mowing the lawn.

Made an Osgood pie today. It's kind of like fruitcake pie without the nasty candied fruit (only raisins) in it. Plus pecans.
-
Back from a wonderful and productive meeting with Sandy. The best part was Doug Haverty had eighteen cover designs for us to look at - all good, but two really stood out for Sandy and me, and one of them in particular. So, I think that one will be the cover and a couple of others are fantastic and will absolutely be the back cover or the front cover of the booklet inside or the inlay card.
-
MBarnum is gone. So silly and I'll write him one more time only. This stuff just baffles me - if you don't like what someone is posting, move on. And yet he'll remain on Facebook, where every other post is completely stupid, offensive, untrue and jerky. That he can skip, apparently.
-
When Keith was the assistant manager at the Studio Theater we had an after hours party with a mystery theme. Keith & a few other people turned the theater, using the lighting & sound system, into a fun house.
-
I want to state it again, even though it's sooooo obvious. We're all different people. Occasionally there are postings here that are irksome in one way or another - guess what? I pay them no mind and move on. I don't take them personally should they not happen to jibe with my thinking, I just read and move on or skip them entirely. The fact that people make their new home Facebook is more sickening to me than anything - that bastion of obnoxious, thoughtless, mind-numbingly idiotic place where people behave in ways that they would never do in front of people, posting any and everything without checking its veracity (90% of the time usually fake or false), posting completely unacceptable photos of horrible things and on and on and on. All the while gathering all your information and sharing it with the world. I would remind everyone that we were here long before Facebook and we will probably be here long after - My Space anyone - people are already tired of the Facebook crap. In the last two weeks along seven people I know have shut down their accounts and who can blame them.
I have written my final PM to MBarnum - he can do whatever he wants because I've just had it with this silliness and it IS silliness. And of course the posts he was offended by could have been easily skipped and we've had much worse on this board. Blechhh, I say.
-
TOD:
I think I've mentioned this story before, but I missed the first 15 minutes of "The Queen" in 2007 because a dispute between two movie theatre patrons became so incensed, and starting drawing in those around them, with yelling and screaming, that the whole theatre became embroiled in it. With all the yelling, the movie was drowned out. Finally one (or both) of the parties was removed by the management (to the applause of the rest of us), but they refused to start the movie over.
After that, I vowed to watch movies only at home, and I have pretty much stuck to that.

I am going to get some Ginger tablets tomorrow which is supposed to help the vertigo and dizziness....and it seems we all just went through this last week ... with DR SINGDAW... so perhaps that will help.
I am sorry DR MBARNUM is gone for awhile.....perhaps he will return someday.

I find relationships on FB and here are different and I enjoy the difference.

I originally only joined MySpace because I was doing my first show with Theater Artists Olympia (it was their first production of "Cannibal! The Musical") and they sent out a lot of information through MySpace. It really wasn't a specific choice that I made. When FB came along, they all migrated over and dropped MS for info disbursement, so I migrated as well. I really don't use it for much more than TAO stuff and just reading what other people post. I rarely update my status.
-
FB is a great communication tool when you are doing a show....you can contact everyone at once with the same message. More immediate and easier to respond than with email. That's my favorite part of it.
And I like seeing pictures from friends and reading about what's going on.....but I don't need to know EVERYTHING that's posted there.
-
I really don't need to know when someone is sitting at the dentist waiting for their teeth to me cleaned. I understand if it is something a bit more serious-lol
-
I love facebook. I guess it depends what you use it for.
I hope DR MBarnum comes back. But for him to delete his account I guess he had to be pretty mad. I could understand not reading or responding to posts that might offend you. But to delete your account because of something one person wrote??
-

Sadly, this isn't the first time that someone's done that. :-\
-
I'm just so bored of all this stuff. And you can delete or block on Facebook, yes, but it all takes time and stuff STILL shows up on your newsfeed that is irritating in ways our little board never is. I'm not writing him again - it's tiresome. Yes, why WOULD he delete his account - so silly. But it's like Pogue - he no longer visits here because he thinks Facebook is all about HIM. It is to laugh. More people saw his posts here than they do there although that isn't really the point. He even said to me years ago when he first went there that Facebook was like having his own discussion board, hence why were we necessary. If you have to ask that question, then by all means have your home on Facebook and forget all the lovely people who were so kind and supportive over the years. Of course, they think they still have that on Facebook, but it ain't the same. Then again, I could just shut this board down and do my notes and that would be that. I'm really annoyed about MBarnum and not because of what was posted here, which was easily ignored.
-
And yes, Facebook can be a useful tool for getting the word out. That is basically what I use it for but in will never EVER take the place of this board - THIS board is smaller, more communal, and we don't have to look at pictures of maimed animals and "share" totally bogus stories as if they were real, nor have to see normally smart people behaving like complete idiots.
-
I hope DR MBarnum comes back.

I gotta tell you. Mostly a fun day, but then I found out that they shorted us by at least 100 booklets and tray cards for Rio Conchos - I think we'll be able to get most of them out, and what doesn't go out tomorrow will go out on Monday or Tuesday.

I agree with the funding and finding homes but don't want to see the abuse, you can tell me you need funds without the photos

Bruce it is true there is a lot of crap on facebook, however, we can remove or block people if we find them too annoying. We can also hide conversations.

If they want me to see animal abuse, give me a web address, and I will decide if I want to see it. Don't post photos that I have to see while trying to eat dinner! no one has the right to force me to see those photos.

Feeling very sad about Mikey
-
Mike S I am so sorry to hear about your knee- I hope it heals faster than the Dr thinks
-
Jennifer I am so glad the scissors arrived and they are satisfactory
-
My clothes dryer is on its last legs
-
while I was in Chicago it seized up - Vixdad got it running again but I fear it will not last long

In my younger days I used to be a regular at the Wednesday night midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. One night the sound systems failed during the opening credits - the entire theatre spoke all the dialog and sang all the songs right through to the tire blowout when the sound finally came back on
-
Beautiful autumn leaves!
I could post a photo of the house across the street. But there is nothing but gravel in that yard.

TOD: I was in a movie theater with the children watching a DISNEY MOVIE, and some creep in the seat next to me kept putting his hand on my knee and running his fingers up my leg.
A DISNEY MOVIE!
That's the last time I was in a movie theater. Ick.
-
I would like a photograph of gravel. We haven't had nearly enough.
-
I don't really have a good movie story....I did go to CATFISH and I was the only one in the theater, literally, the only person at a late show. The movie is a bit creepy and about 1/2 way through someone walked in and I could see them standing to the side, they stood there in the dark then left. I figure it was someone who works there, but it really creeped me out.
-
Seriously a lone scream during a creepy movie probably wouldn't draw much attention...
-
But nothing happened, so all was well
-
And Page 6....all is well

I'm sorry Mikey decided to leave and I wish he would come back. I'm not going to apologize for what I said though, not any more than I would ask anyone to apologize for their opinion if it wasn't directed at me. I am sorry that it caused so many problems.

As for FB, I either unfriend or unfollow people who get too political or repeatedly post things I don't want to see. Paul has one friend who drives me nuts. I didn't know about a fundraiser that she had for her candidate for state auditor (who really cares who the state auditor is) where they auctioned off one of Paul's paintings. He asked if I had unfriended her and I told him I did that ages ago. He laughed. I guess very few have had the guts to do that to her.
-
I occasionally go through my friends list and get rid of people I don't really know that well - from high school or whatever. I've only had one or two say anything about it. I'm sure most don't even notice.

I wish he would, too. We're all adults here, just yakking away. Taking that kind of umbrage is pointless, really. Not everyone agrees on everything.

Kevin I can imagine your concern-congrats you passed.
Are there any states that don't require an emissions test?
Washington doesn't...at least, I've never had to take my car in for an emissions test.
But you have to have your car inspected every other year in Washington.
We do?? I don't think that I've ever had my car inspected...other than when I take my car in for servicing, but that can't be the same thing.
