Post by: bk on March 05, 2015, 12:23:26 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes ruminated, and now it is time for you to post until the ruminating cows come home.

I haven't looked out the window yet.

And I don't really want to look out the window.

I must. I really must. Oh yes, I must.

Post by: ChasSmith on March 05, 2015, 04:07:15 AM: To TCB and others who caught my omission of Russian or Thousand Island on the pastrami:

It just happens I ate this one without it, and it was still wonderful. But of course it's a staple. For Russian, I use Ken's Steak House, one of the few (maybe even the only one) available in the closest supermarket. Though I'd probably get it anyway, because I like the name Steak House.

I would put in Beat The Devil as one of my favorites. One can usually find it cheap as it is in public domain. Great cast, story. And a side note Stephen Sondheim worked on this film in a most unlikely position. Some of you right know, but the others take a guess without looking it up. :-)

Title: Re: RUMINATING
Post by: elmore3003 on March 05, 2015, 05:32:44 AM: Good morning, all! Another bad night of sleeping, and more weird dreams, the last was something about the Drama Book Shop and co-workers there I haven't seen in years.

I will spend today at Chelsea Music proofreading scores for a Las Vegas musical based on the bigoted, redneck DUCK DYNASTY, which offends me politically, but my whore side says take the money and run. My philosophy has been, if you're going to be a whore, at least be a smart one.

Post by: Druxy on March 05, 2015, 05:46:52 AM: TOD:

Humphrey Bogart is my favorite actor. Indeed, if you've read my 2nd memoir, you know how devastated I was when I heard he'd died.

DEADLINE U.S.A. is an excellent movie, but for some reason, it's really not that well known.

Favorite Bogart movies:

CASABLANCA
THE MALTESE FALCON
KEY LARGO
THE TREASURE OF SIERRA MADRE
THE DESPERATE HOURS
THE CAINE MUTINY
ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
THE ROARING TWENTIES
DARK PASSAGE
THE OKLAHOMA KID
WE'RE NO ANGELS
THE ENFORCER

And, DR TCB, I don't see why plain water wouldn't work as well as sherry. You just need the cup of liquid to create the gravy.
Title: Re: RUMINATING

Heart of some shiny metal, but I get distracted too easily to see if it's tin or merely recycled aluminum.

Post by: John G. on March 05, 2015, 06:26:01 AM: My friends Bill and Laurie, who now live in Dayton, have a framed poster of Deadline USA in their home. This, of course, because of the journalism ties. Somehow, he's still working for a newspaper.

I think I've gotten that folly out of my system. I'm too old for that now.

Title: Re: RUMINATING
Post by: Jrand74 on March 05, 2015, 06:30:18 AM: DR TCB - I use a free program called AUDACITY.....you can record and edit music files.

Just find your microphone input - or your computer might have a built-in microphone....

You can also download and edit any music file you like.....also clean up files that have problems.

It has a learning curve....but it works like a charm. If I need to change the file format, I use Format Factory....which is also free.

DR JRand65, I am not arranging, simply proofreading the copy from scores by an orchestrator who wrks generally on rock shows and small klezmer-like groups. there will be several guiars, I'm guessing, and a lot of chord symbols.

Could something like apple juice (or cider?) or white grape juice also work as a substitute for something like this?

Title: Re: RUMINATING
Post by: ChasSmith on March 05, 2015, 07:18:05 AM: Speaking of great coffee mugs, I have the all time winner but I'll have to dig through some stuff that's packed safely away to find it and photograph it because I'm finding no images on the web. Some years ago the NYC medical examiner's office had a limited quantity of mugs made up just for fun, for in-house employees, and a friend who was working there gave me one. I forget what it said or what the image was, but it had a thermal design that, when heated by the coffee, a "window" into the cup turned blood red.

Okay, okay, I'll go down to the basement and find which box it's in. Sometime this weekend.
Title: Re: RUMINATING
Post by: Ginny on March 05, 2015, 07:23:33 AM: We have 2 of those magic coffee mugs in our household. Mine is from the Victoria Theatre Association in Dayton - it's a drawing of the proscenium arch and when you pour in the hot liquid the curtain rises to reveal the message "You are a Star!"

Rob's is reproduction of Vincent Van Gogh's self-portrait and when you pour in the hot liquid his ear disappears.

Post by: Jrand74 on March 05, 2015, 09:13:10 AM: LWOP most likely....which is good because that means the defendant pays for her own appeals, unless someone takes the case pro bono....

Almost 2/3 of DP verdicts are overturned....with a free automatic appeal......I think those are to Federal courts - LWOP appeals I think are to appellate courts.

So DR LAURA will only have to pay to house her NOT for her legal fees. One more month and she is off to Perryville.

Has the sour cream reached its expiration? You should be able to stir the sour cream and reconstitute the moisture back into it.

Following the rain and icy mix of the past day and half, today's snow was just icing on the cake, and the surfaces are rough, uneven, horrible. If we weren't at the tail end of this sh stuff and still had the main event of winter to look forward to, we'd be in trouble with the driveway and road surfaces in as frozen bad shape as they are now. I'm not sure I've ever seen my own driveway looking as treacherous as it does today. Tomorrow I must take a few pictures.

In the meantime, I'm now glad I don't have to drive out and back. :)

I would put in Beat The Devil as one of my favorites. One can usually find it cheap as it is in public domain. Great cast, story. And a side note Stephen Sondheim worked on this film in a most unlikely position. Some of you right know, but the others take a guess without looking it up. :-)

Post by: bk on March 05, 2015, 02:31:20 PM: We had to, of course, chatter away for all eighty-six minutes of the film, which is never easy and I kind of blew through my history stuff too quickly - I should have paced it out better, but you get in that mode and just yak. I had questions for Jean and she answered them and we really motored on for the first hour - then it got hard because we'd covered so much. But I think we got through the rest okay and there are two other commentary tracks on the disc so between us all we should be fine. I got the history of the show, the TV version, the Gower Champion aborted movie attempt, and she talked about the cast and location and how it was to do the film.

Very nice photos from DR CHAS SMITH and DR RLP.

I like color photos!

DR RLP you and the boy in front with his hands in his pockets have the BEST shirts....was yours red?

It was either deep blue or black. It's covered with very colorful fishing lures.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on March 05, 2015, 03:07:05 PM: Also note, if you will, some spots on my legs. Skeeter bites. Every summer, I'd be eaten alive by skeeters. Some would get infected. Our 4th of July week trip to the beach would generally clear them up (all that salt water, dontchaknow!), but the scars lingered.

Post by: Jane on March 05, 2015, 04:23:30 PM: The article I opened said he has crashed multiple times in the past, interesting.

He appears to be ok though the headlines say seriously injured it sounds more like a lot of blood as head gashes to cause. It is possible there are other injuries not mentioned.

So I truly appreciate whatever it was that somebody did to get you guys accessible to us.

I did get 6/5 hurs of proofreading in, and I will go back tomorrow around 11:00 and finish the two numbers I'm on. I had to get the guitar parts proofed. Before then, I will stop by City Center, see Joshie and pick up a check.

Post by: Kerry on March 05, 2015, 04:53:34 PM: It was kind of fun watching the ballyhoo at the courthouse earlier today-- the news people have been camped out all week. At 5:00 today there were still a few news people around when I left getting ready to broadcast "Live-- on location from the courthouse" (even though absolutely nothing was happening at the courthouse 7 hours after the verdict was read). But that doesn't stop the idiots from having to broadcast there.

Post by: ChasSmith on March 05, 2015, 08:47:33 PM: Hey, a funny thing happened on the way to the Blu-ray player. I opened a small package from Warner Archive, took out POSSESSED (the one with Joan Crawford), opened the case, and there was the disc for FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD. Which is on my "list", but I haven't gotten around to ordering it yet. So, I guess I have a phone call to make or an email to write tomorrow. I'm just too damn tired to do it now. Not as tired as, say, Lili von Shtupp. But pretty tired nonetheless.
