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

And the word of the day is: CLERIHEW!

Morning all.
That is all.

good morning to all

Re: the R rating mentioned in today's note. My assumptions
I'm going to assume that it was because of the relationship between an adult and 15 year old. It may be also for the C word.
Also the producers may not have minded it being an R rated film (which they could have appealed) thinking it might have drawn a bigger audience than a PG-13 with the story
-
Good morning, all.
Happy Tuesday vibes.
-
TOD: Not a Vegas fan. Been twice, hope never to go again. There was nothing worth seeing either visit.
-
Good morning, all! I am awake, having my first cup of coffee,and pondering the day's events.
I will head down to Chelsea Music around 10:15. That gives me two hours here to create some mischief.
-
Good morning, all.
I have the entire blessed day to myself and I believe it will be spent in the Music and Movies Room.
Coffee!

Mischief vibes for DR Elmore!

When the performers who made Las Vegas what it once was were still l alive, there was something to see in Las Vegas. And even though a little bit of Las Vegas went a long way with me, it was like nowhere else. Now, everywhere is like Las Vegas, which isn't saying much.
-
I have never been to Las Vegas.....but I've been to me.

TOD:
I never liked Vegas. It's not my scene.
I've been there many times, almost always with a publicity client or on some other kind of business.
Certainly the most memorable was when I was representing Stanley Myron Handelman and he opened for Sinatra at Caesar's Palace. The opening night after party was sensational - Burt Lancaster, Yul Brynner, Rod Steiger, Sammy Davis, Jr. and, of course, the Chairman of the Board.
-
I haven't been to Las Vegas in a long time, but you all know that the best part is the casino carpets.
-
Tuesday morning greetings! It's rainy here in SW Ohio, washing away all the snow.
-
TOD: Not a Vegas fan. Been twice, hope never to go again. There was nothing worth seeing either visit.
My sentiments, exactly. I've also been there twice - first for the ALA annual conference as I was finishing grad school in 1973. The best part of that trip was connecting with the woman who eventually hired me to work in the library at the Middletown Campus of Miami University. Second visit was an overnight stop on our family's big out-west driving vacation in 1996. Rob was fascinated with ancient Egypt at the time, so we stayed in the pyramid-shaped hotel. The next morning we drove around the strip a bit and then Richard said, "Let's get out of here!"

It is my turn to visit the phlebotomist today.

DR Elmore, sorry, no city directories at the book sale...
-
DR Elmore, sorry, no city directories at the book sale...
City directories can be worth their weight in gold!
My Ohio treasures are several Columbus ones spanning the years I lived there, an Ashland one, and a Cleveland one. The most elusive one on my want list has been a Cleveland-East Suburbs, ca-1970-72.
I have a few for my other locales, too. I guess I found half of them on eBay, some from library sales, and a couple from bookstores. The Ohio Book Store in downtown Cincinnati had several from around the region last time I browsed in there. (I need to make it a point to get in there again when I'm over there in May.)

Phlebotomy vibes for DR LAURA.
-
JOSEPH & THE AMAZING...... is coming to Indy next month with Ace Young and Diana DeGormo - or however it's spelled. I like the show a lot, but I think I will skip it this time. The tv promos make it look sort of threadbare.

Topic of the Day: I've never been to Vegas.
My sister and my niece have, but they didn't ask me to go with them. :P

I'm up - nine hours of sleep. Probably would have slept later but for the ringing of the telephone twice.

I forgot to mention that Saturn conjuncts Uranus today.....for what it's worth.

Sarah Brightman to perform Lloyd Webber in space...

DR Jrand64! If you please! What Saturn does hardly needs to be broadcast on a nice family site.
-
I went downtown and had lunch with DR Kerry. What is usually a nice walk to the public transit is pretty hot at 87 degrees in full sun.
-
I am really REALLY not understanding how we are on page two.
-
This has been some day.
-
One page of lines left....and when I say one page....I mean one page......Tiresias goes crazy and puts a pox on the house of Creon....but NOT in 50 words or less.
-
Back from a quick round of grocery shopping and a quick stop into the local Savers (thrift shop) to see what's on the CD shelves. Not much. But I did come out with a recording of THE THREEPENNY OPERA by HK Gruber and the Ensemble Modern, of which I know nothing, so I'm looking forward to giving it a spin.
-
DR JRand64, I cannot even imagine tackling what you're tackling.
Or rather, tackling it successfully. Congrats on the good work!

In "Laughing Stock," I have rants about office supplies, then the Coke machine, and then pencils. NOT word-light, either.
-
And I am home from Chelsea Music. I don't go back until either Saturday or Monday, so I've got several days of playing at home.
-
I want to read that script DR GEORGE. Let me know how it goes....I may want to suggest it for my theatre group......
Thanks DR CHAS SMITH, I am sure sooner or later there will be photographic evidence.....but that lies ahead of us.....further down the road.....for another day....later in the process....rehearsal wise.
-
Tomorrow is FAMILY day at my house.....of course on the day that I have a rehearsal so that it will be impossible to find a quiet place to go over my lines or even give them much consideration until I head out.
My cousin is bringing family photos....such as the potato chip bag photo I posted last week....so much time will be spent studying and scanning them.
-
There is a new episode of Hell's Kitchen on FOX tonight.
-
I'm looking forward to a new episode of Hell's Bells.

Jrand, check your PMs.

DR John, congratulations on your weight loss & good luck getting your cholesterol down.
-
From DR George:
And now, it's official...Too Much Praise Can Turn Your Kids Into Narcissistic Jerks, Study Finds.
I knew there would be a catch to this if I opened the article. Telling them they are superior to other children makes them jerks, not simple praise ;D

DR George---thank you for memorializing my milestone!

TOD: I've been to Las Vegas many times, though it's not exactly a favorite place of mine. The first time was to see Barbra's return to the concert stage on New Year's 1994. Then her Millennium concert on both Dec. 31, 1999 and Jan. 1, 2000. And then my other favorite singer did Phantom for 2 years and I saw that show 6 times, I think.
-
Ms. S did another concert in 2012. And I've met my friends from Southern California in LV a couple of times. We usually get free or very inexpensive rooms at the Orleans.
-
Five o'clock PST and less than three pages of postings.
-
Oh, I almost forgot, BS did a concert in 2006 too. So I think that would be my favorite visit since I saw Phantom one day and BS the next.
-
BK -- is Sandy planning on doing an East Coast concert launching her CD?
-
Thanks to DR TCB for sharing his Frugal Gourmet story....most entertaining.
I agree!
-
One more.

My first trip to Vegas was in 1973. I thought it was earlier, however, that is the year MGM opened and I remember walking around for the pre-opening. It was a zoo and I got yelled at by a security guard for looking so young and forcing him to waste his time checking my i.d. REALLY!
-
That was before Vegas got too big and crazy. I had never seen so many lights and it was exciting. Of course today those lights would seem like nothing.
-
We went with another couple and shared a room since none of us had much money. The room was reasonable and the meals fairly inexpensive.
-
Thanks to DR TCB for sharing his Frugal Gourmet story....most entertaining.
I agree!
So do I.
-
Well, I must be off.
-
I have a Theater Artists Olympia board meeting...
-
...and then I go to rehearsal for "Laughing Stock."
-
Eventually, I will be back home.
-
Until later!
-
And THIS post makes six! ;D
-
Oh dear.
-
I'm sure we'll think about doing an East Coast concert for Sandy, just not sure when.
-
I met Mr. Smith at a conference years ago and spent some time with him. I corroborate everything that DR TCB remembers about him.

Logy is page three.

Well, the good news I had hoped to have this week is a bust. I appreciate your vibes, though!
Much as I find the work I am doing now fulfilling, it is funded by state grants, so never a sure or steady thing. A posting came up recently for what would have been a dream job for me. I went through several rounds of interviews, and it finally came down to me and one other candidate. This afternoon, I learned that the job has been offered to the other candidate. I am very disappointed, but it was still a good experience to go through. I hate selling myself, but I guess it is good to have to learn how to do that under pressure every now and then.

The Luxor was so dark that I felt all the lights were dim so you wouldn't see how cheap it is.

Bummer, Singdaw. Vibes you'll get something much better in the near future.

Got my bill today on my stupid accident from a few weeks ago. My part is over $1,000 -- because I haven't met the deductible this year. Ugh.
-
DR John, congratulations on your weight loss & good luck getting your cholesterol down.
Thank you, Jane.
-
The damn Google DNS is screwed up again - can't believe it, really. I am so over this crap. Just changed the DNS number in preferences and am fine that way. I'll just leave it there.
-
Watching the latest Woody Allen, "Magic in the Moonlight." Nice cast, great look, good music, tired script.
-
Have learned that the barbecue book is in a second printing. Doesn't mean any sort of royalty, mind you. But that is nice news.
-
Must get some work done.
-
Not a bad day, overall. I hope to continue some of the better parts and get more work done on them tomorrow.
-
I also absolutely have to do my damned taxes. I use TurboTax and can get it all done in an afternoon. I just should have buckled down to the task a good month ago.
-
work from 8 am to 7:15 Pm
-
church council meeting from 7:40 ( I was 10 minutes late) until 10 PM
-
heated up leftovers
-
checked email
-
while eating leftovers
-
for those who care
-
rice pilaf and chunked chicken breast in gravy
-
put the two in a skillet added some chicken broth and let it simmer
-
It was nice
-
that was my day

in other news

the rain is melting the snow and it is not yet in my basement

Did some of my first ever listening to Kander and Ebb's ZORBA this afternoon. I had never been drawn to it much as a young'un, so the LP languished on the shelf. The music is wonderful, but I haven't delved into story, characters, or anything else yet. But soon.
BK: Is this Capitol recording one you'd have an interest in releasing? The LP isn't bad, but it sure isn't stupendous either. While listening, I could only think how much more beautiful and involving it could be.
-

I tried to give the condensed version.

Chas I have a Savers nearby as well - my last trip I was able to buy several BBC produced Gilbert & Sullivan operettas for $2 a piece
-
TCB very interesting Jeff Smith story and he always looked so darn wholesome too

Nice find! I've gotten lucky there a few times with movies, CDs, and books.

Vixmom, I can sympathize with your evening agenda. After an hour of dance, I had a church meeting that lasted much longer than a hour. And for no reason.

I wonder if that's like our Hastings stores down here.
-
Singdaw I am so sorry - but the fact that it came to the two of you is very impressive and I am sure if another opening comes along they will think of you

well we knew it would be a long meeting we had a special guest that gave an hour long presentation followed by a
Q& A before our regular council meeting . It was actually very interesting

watched The Mikado on Sunday

Whatever will Johnny Depp play in that?
Actually, don't tell me. I'm fine without knowing.
-
Oh my, it's almost the witching hour.
-
I suspect Elmore will be familiar with this series the CD , produced by Acorn Media , the BBC series is from 1982 . They contain the full libretto in a full colour 5 X 7 booklet with print in a font size even these bat blind eyes can read without straining

Were they filmed in an Australian opera house?

the other dvds I was able to grab were Patience, (which I have never seen), The Yeoman of the Guard (which I have never seen) and HMS Pinafore

I don't have the others nearby (too lazy to get up and check) but The Mikado says on;y that it features the London Symphony Orchestra and the Ambrosian Opera Chorus. I suspect they were produced on a BBC soundstage

Sounds like fun, Vixmom. I'll bring the popcorn and some vino. Time for a viewing party.

But first, some bed time.
Good night, all.

I am sorry about the job, SingSong. Believe me, your dream job is still out there.

Chas, Zorba was next in line for remixing - the LP and CD are horridly mixed. But my guy left and it became impossible. Thank heavens Follies happened when it did.

Finished with my viewing - Nightcrawler and Whiplash.

I am glad that some of you enjoyed the story of Jeff Smith. The other details are a little too sordid for this site, and it really isn't my story to tell.
-
Kevin, didn't you love the Vegas version of PHANTOM? I don't mean just the hunk playing the Phantom, but the entire production. I wished I had seen it more than once. Also, I wish there was a DVD of the show (for educational purposes only). I am sure I could learn a lot from seeing that DVD!
-
Went to Gelson's and got a little rice and peas and a tiny bit of mac-and-cheese.
