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

And the word of the day is: DIGLOT!

And now - Dino at the piano.

Time to Ny-Quil.

First in the morning! Where is everybody?

Morning all.
That is all.

That's more like it.

60's slang for I like you very much

I wonder if the High School production of A Chorus Line will use "This and That" instead of "Tits and Ass". If they can't use the real words why do it in the first place? And yes there are other swear words too. Teenagers use them today "as if"

Following up on yesterday's posting:
Yesterday, I had a "dispute" with the Texas DMV.
So, how did I get my "revenge"?
I went to the press.
It was fun putting on my publicist's hat again.
Here is the news story about the Texas DMV, as it appeared on KXAN (NBC) last night.

Good Morning. I'm told it's Tuesday. Beyond that, I know nothing.
-
Good morning. I was out early yesterday and came home so tired I was in bed by 8 p.m.
I missed a couple of call-outs yesterday. Thanks for the update on Ginger, JRand. And thanks for the carpet article, whoever posted that.
-
Good morning, all! I slept late. I do not have to be at Chelsea Music until 1:00, and so I lazed about. I was forced to get out of bed to answer a Tme Warner call confirming my appointment tomorrow morning. I miss my TV!
-
So, this morning, I will tidy up, dust and clean the TV, DVD player, VCR, and counter surface, all of which really need the attention.
-
Then I have a bit of writing, and a trip to the bank before I head downtown.
-
LOL DR DRUXY that's a good story!
-
I know this is a dumb question DR ELMORE.....but you did reset your television to channel 3 or 4 - whichever you are supposed to have it on.....
-
I decided that I did a dumb thing yesterday.
How many people are sitting in their homes and get an email offering them a role in a film?
I asked them to send me the script.
-
Good morning, all.
Thanks to my second wind last night, and even though I "could" have slept in a bit, I really didn't. I'm just too geared to waking up at a certain time. I can probably grab a nap later, though. In fact, I could use a Benadryl to help with all the gunk I'm dealing with, and that will help to make me drowzy.

Is that old porn script that I turned down 20 years ago still bing passed around?
-
DR JRand64, the channel shuldn't have changed, but I'll let Time Warner worry about it tomorrow.
-
I've been listening to this new recording of Victor Herbert's 1922 musical comedy ORANGE BLOSSOMS. I have friends involved so I'm treading cautiously, but I cannot say I like it much: tubby, ultra-high echo sound, which makes it appear to be an intimate comedy set in a large cathedral, or sewer, and a lot of noisy piano filligree that I am pretty certain Victor Herbert never even imagined, much less put on paper!
The fact that the info on the restoration is non-existant always bothers me, same with the Ohio Light Opera recordings, which play fast and loose with orchestrations and textual edition and passes it off as authentic
-
Greetings, one and all!
-
Oh! There is nobody home.
-
Page One? Very unseemly.
-
One more.

It may indeed be the same script DR ELMORE......it may indeed.
-
It is a Wright State University project, so I am sure there is a sleazy side to it.

Well if you also turn it down, Jrand, it will eventually get to me.
-
Tuesday morning greetings! I was up and out early for my annual cardiac stress test. Unlike a couple of people I know, I was not yanked off the treadmill and rushed into the cath lab, so I guess it went OK. I've been home less than an hour, making up for the coffee I couldn't have earlier.
Oh, and I'm radioactive...
-
Hi, DR TCB - where are you?
-
It is a Wright State University project, so I am sure there is a sleazy side to it.
A Den of Iniquity.
-
It is a Wright State University project, so I am sure there is a sleazy side to it.
Oh, does it require you to be on location in Dayton?
-
TCB! Are you having a good time?
In 45 minutes i will head downtown.
-
Yes DR GINNY.....if it works out. I have yet to hear anything since my script request.....
-
Today is cool and overcast, thus far. Had a warm, wonderful night's sleep.
-
DWTS: There is Derek Hough, and then there is everyone else. Val is close to being in Derek's league. Very close.
-
DWTS: It doesn't hurt either Derek or Val that they have the best partners this season.
-
We have the first episodes of HOUSE OF CARDS arriving from Netflix. It is the American version. Keith forgot he was going to switch it to the BBC version on the recommendation of friends.
Does anyone have an opinion on this?
-
I'm up, I'm up - I do think I got a bit over nine hours of sleep overall, so that was good - another few days of that and I should be back to normal.
-
I couldn't get with the BBC House of Cards. The American I've enjoyed and not enjoyed - season one is great and the first episode of season two is one of the best episodes of a series I've ever seen. From there they begin to struggle and go off in directions that aren't great, which happens with all series at some point. So, there are occasional episodes that are good, but it's erratic. Season three proved to be the same.
-
I love the British "House of Cards" with Francis Urquhart as the lead character. Extremely dry, witty and evil.
-
I do not watch House of Cards....but that would never stop me from expressing an opinion. :P
-
Thank you DR John for letting me know mousse has egg yolks.

Thanks. I copied this to show Keith. I expect we will watch the one we ordered.

Hmmm, now I'm fluctuating again-lol Did you attempt to watch the American version?
I think Kevin Spacey is a talented actor, however, I don't necessarily enjoy watching him. That could work here since I'm not supposed to like him in this-right.
-
The handyman has been here all morning. I already am suffering from eye strain and his recent banging has given me a headache. He is leaving so I shall get off the computer and put the last of the laundry away. Wait, I need to wash the sheet we used to cover an area rug. I was productive this morning so that was good.
-
Vibes for MR BK.
Headache begone vibes for DR JANE.
-
I had a nice long hike today.
-
I am home from Chelsea Music. i have no idea when the finale or the smaller transitions will call me back, but i am getting tired of waiting for my first payment from these Vegas producers. Supposedly, the checks were mailed from Vegas on Thursday, so what the fat hell is taking so long with the US post?
-
Good afternoon, all.
Spent a nice day catching up on some BK-produced soundtracks including "Susie Wong," "Pleasure of His Company" and "Won-Ton-Ton." Highly enjoyable to work to.
-
TOD:
Too many options.
The meal would likely start off with some selected sashimi with daikon shreds. Served with an aperitif on the side.
A relish area would have 30 or so pickled items, cheeses and charcuterie, crudites, etc. (I put these together most holidays and just love grazing.)
There would be a seafood course, maybe a lobster salad or scallops.
Main course would be roast chicken with butter and truffles under the skin. On the side, asparagus, a roasted red pepper stuffed with a lively mix of ground pork and vegetables, and a rustic sourdough bread with anchovy butter or an herb butter.
A garden salad with the freshest vegetables and a light extra-virgin olive oil dressing would follow.
The first dessert would be panna cotta.
The second dessert would be the freshest, ripest raspberries in a bowl of heavy cream.
The maybe cheese and port or a digestif.

No, I don't get Showtime. I know it's on DVD and BD, but I have the BBC on BD and it's more than enough for me.

Ah! Started a new page.

In today's mail:
Blu rays of "The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies" and "Into the Woods".
-
Not in the mail today:
The long-awaited, snow-delayed, only-shipped-yesterday Twilight Time Blu rays of "Solomon and Sheba", "The Bounty", "The First Men in the Moon" and the new 4K scan of "Journey to the Center of the Earth".

Thank you. I feel good after a nice walk. I should say I did. I just sat back at the computer and it has slightly returned-lol
-
One and one-quarter hours left in today's "work day".
Sigh.
I want to be sitting in front of my telly watching new BD movies!
-
Good evening!
-
TCB- it's nice to see you posting from the ship! Hope you're having a good time!

A new episode of HELL'S KITCHEN tonight.

I'm at home now instead of work because there was a power transformer that was having problems and the city needed to shut it down for a few hours. Since it was estimated that it would be off longer than two hours, they (the library administration) decided to close the building...which is a good thing when your building has no power and no heat or air conditioning. :P
-
So, I've had some time to do laundry, work on my lines and take a nap. Now, I need to eat a late lunch and run a few errands, then I'm off to the theater.
-
Have a good rest of the evening, all!
-
DWTS: There is Derek Hough, and then there is everyone else. Val is close to being in Derek's league. Very close.
I agree. Derek is my fav. But Val is my second favorite. I do like Rumer's dancing. But I read some comments she made that were not flattering. I hope they were taken out of context. Right now my favorite is Nastia, followed by Riker, followed by Rumer.

I really enjoy the American version. They are totally different. Watch the American one then at some point watch the British one. But the American one is very good. I would definitely watch it.
-

And the season finale of Pretty Little Liars which I cannot wait to watch. it is going to be a big episode. i'm going to watch it live because i know the internet is gonna be full of spoilers right after it airs.

Hello, everyone.
-
Jane, I looked for chocolate mousse at the store today to check the ingredients, but there was none on the shelf. I believe this version uses heavy cream. It's incredibly rich.
-
Re: HOUSE OF CARDS:
I LOVED the British version. I tried watching the American version, but couldn't get through season 1. It's just so different. I think the British version spoiled me. I like Kevin Spacey as an actor--it wasn't that. And I wanted to like the series. I just couldn't.
-
The book cover looks great, BK!
-
PERMANENT GOOD HEALTH VIBES TO BK!
-
Good for you, Druxy! I understand how programming errors happen, but being rude and ridiculous to customers is really out of line.
-
SUPER CONNECTIVITY VIBES TO DR ELMORE!
I hope this is the end of your Time Warner problems.
-
It's good to see TCB posting.
TCB, would you let us know WHERE YOU ARE??
-
TOD:
It's not the calories that do me in, it's the fat, sugar, and cholesterol. If I wasn't concerned with any of that, then
A big, green salad, using mesclum, romaine, or butter lettuce
Fettucini Alfredo
Homemade or other high-quality bread (Louise's Trattoria's will do nicely)
Chocolate mousse or ??
-
Still having trouble with Netflix delivery times. I thought it had improved--at least with returns--but arrivals are still late.
Are other Netflix DRs still having problems, too?
I spoke to one of the mail carriers about it the other day. She wasn't aware of the problem and she gets Netflix herself. She said she's been working 6 days/week. I imagine she hasn't had time to even sit down and watch anything.
-
TTFN.
-
Congrats on the book design, BK!
-
Jane, I looked for chocolate mousse at the store today to check the ingredients, but there was none on the shelf. I believe this version uses heavy cream. It's incredibly rich.
No wonder it is so good. I'm not really a big mousse eater though I never have trouble finding other foods that are bad for me.
-

Exciting!! :)
-
Thanks, DR Jeanne! It's too quiet in the apartment without the TV noise.
I love the book cover. Back to work. i'm orchestrating a Cole Porter song for the hell of it.

For me I don't want the consequences of getting sick after I eat.
Fettuccine Alfredo also came to mind.
Today I had a baked potato and I would have enjoyed lots of sour cream and chives on it.
Chocolate cake or something special like beignets, sour cream cheesecake. Maybe a plate-full of apple fritters and other doughnuts. Before dinner, a rich cream of mushroom soup and a fried something for an appetizer
Before dinner, no consequences, I would have several alcoholic beverages. If cost doesn't matter, make one or two of them a 25 year glenlivet or dalwhinnie.

We average 2 days each way.

I forgot the garlic bread.

Great book cover design, BK.

Congratulations, Jane, on the sale.

Good evening! We spent today in Grand Turk. A small, but very attractive little island. Tomorrow afternoon, we arrive in Puerto Rico. I now have the cold and cough from Hell.
G'night!

Hey! House hunters international is in the Turks!

It's very windy here all of a sudden. Don't like wind.
-
Had a nice day. Got some work done and some new things lined up. This is a work week, no more appointments after today. I'm hoping to dive in and really accomplish a lot of work in the next few days
-
Congratulations on the book cover, bk. Very stylish.
-
It is currently snowing here.
Happy Spring!

Please don't say that word, DR singdaw.
-
Watched Candide tonight. Well sung, but some of the staging, courtesy Elmore's favorite, Lonny Price, is dated and not as funny as everyone seems to think it is. Still, the music soared. And that is what makes Candide special.
-
And from the sublime to the Lovett. Listening to a Lyle Lovett CD I picked up for a buck. Well worth the music investment.
-
I need to get to bed though.
-
Fading fast.
-
Singdaw, can you carry us onward and upward?
-
Good night, all.
-
Finished with my viewing and shall do some more commentary writing now. Meanwhile, get me off this damn page.

No wonder it is so good. I'm not really a big mousse eater though I never have trouble finding other foods that are bad for me.
I read that as " I am not much of a mouse eater" and I thought "of course not, she's a vegetarian!"
-
which made perfect sense to me
-
which is a sign that I should be sleeping , not posting at 1:25 in the tomorrow

things have been hectic - sorry I havn't been around much

Ditto to these (especially the Fettucini Alfredo)...except for the salad. What's the point of that??

-
Well, tonight's "Laughing Stock" went quite well...for the most part.
-
I goobered the end of my first big speech, but I think I made it work...sort of. ::)
-
Otherwise, pretty much everything in the show (and the rest of my stuff) worked!
-
Our director even laughed out loud a few times.
-
At one point, there was an actual mistake that the actors made in one of the Dracul: Prince of the Undead scenes.
-
He really liked what they did, so he wants them to actually keep it in the show.
-
I love it when that happens.

There's a Netflix distribution center in Tacoma, so it's real close.
