Well, you've read the notes, the notes had abbreviations and initials, and now it is time for you to post until the abbreviated cows come home.

I loathe most abbreviations. When I worked at the census, we were forced to memorize a list of abbreviations. I ignored the task and made the abbreviation speakers say what they meant. So did a few others, and the office largely stopped using them. The worst part was that there were several terms with the same abbreviation, and you couldn't tell them apart by context. There were a couple of the former military types who actually used the abbreviation, said which one they meant and then used the abbreviation again. So, instead of abbreviating something, they made it three times as long.

Ida Lupino could do most anything. She was a solid director. She could act, sing, dance, tempt.

I love her performance as the chain-smoking cabaret singer in the film noir "Road House." (Not to be confused with the '80s hair movie starring Patrick Swayze.)

While i like the idea of so many people changing their profiles on facebook to rainbows it hurts my head so much.I can't do strobe lights or anything like that. And the rainbow images are hurting my head/eyes so bad I am not sure what to do. :(

I was up late watching this good and bad documentary DVD called The Psycho Legacy, which is about the Psycho films with emphasis on II, III and IV.  The qualities of the documentary itself are kind of all over the place, but it's very enjoyable seeing some of the actors and production people talking about the films, not least our own Mr. Charles Pogue.

My fondness for the A&E series Bates Motel, and what with being between seasons and all, had me hankering lately for some kind of a fix, and returning to these sequels after many years seemed just the ticket.  It's more satisfying than I would have thought, especially as I had forgotten much of the ins and outs of each sequel. 

There's a lot of material this thing covers well, and other stuff that's oddly sketchy for no apparent reason.  The use of faux-Herrmann music throughout is off-putting, and it goes oddly unremarked upon, even while Richard Band's faux-Herrmann scores in the Re-Animator films is being discussed.  Bizarre... but, you know, no more bizarre than Universal's own downright offensive use of faux-Herrmann music in the menus of their DVD and Blu-ray releases of Psycho and other Hitchcock films.  It's all rather mind boggling.  And as I am growing tired of typing faux-Herrmann -- there being no handy abbreviation for same -- I'll stop now.

Good morning, all!  It's a rainy morning and I slept in.  I dreamed I was on a European train and had to transfer in Antwerp, then I boarded a New York bus at 63rd Street, i think. I told the bus driver I only wanted to ride to the next stop because I just wanted to look at the map.

Last night, after watching The Other Boleyn Girl, I watched the uncut European print of the 1954 Kirk Douglas film Ulysses, which I doubt I've seen since 1954 or so.  The film was cut from 110 or so minutes to around 95 for the US release, so the undubbed sections were in Italian.  The cuts occurred in the weirdest places but some of the missing dialogue helped round out the story.

Today, I've got a few chores and then I may do some reading or watch a DVD.  I marched with the men's chorus in the Gay Pride parade for about fifteen years between 1981 and 1997, but I have no urge to hobble about on a cane in the huge crowds in the Village today.

I'm staying in. I hope the weather clears up for the marchers and celebrants.

DR Laura, I took a semester of Gregg "Notehand" -- a less short, easier to learn form of Shorthand -- in high school, and loved it.  I might have used it a little bit in college, not sure, but I still remember some of the principles, and I think the whole system was a product of genius.

Jennifer, can you change your monitor, like TVs, to display momochromatic (black and white) when you're on FB, and change it back when you're done?

My gosh, Cillaliz. You have really had more than your share of health excitement this last month. I hope it is all figured out soon and you are feeling back to normal.

Is this what you thought was a side-effect of the rabies shot?

Title: Re: ABBREVIATIONS AND INITIALS
Post by: Cillaliz on June 28, 2015, 01:17:31 PM

Yeah, my alternate idea was gall bladder.  I do great when I just eat the BRAT diet, but yesterday I had some regular food and I was up with a stabbing pain in my stomach most of the night.  I knew it wasn't heart or anything like that so I waited and went to urgent care this morning.

I need to mow, but it's too hot, so I'm just going to skip it.  I'm doing laundry and will likely freeze the rest of the cherries I picked yesterday.  I may take Paul the fresh lettuce that my friends gave me from their garden.  I can't eat it now

Last September for "The Man Who Came to Dinner", director Ric painted the stage floor to simulate the interior of an old house.  He spent many HOURS doing so, and it looked wonderful.

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-odM4j9c5SsE/VDa_YHxZLgI/AAAAAAAAMdQ/pLswUqrXVS0/w1024-h683-no/IMG_0956%2B%2528Copy%2529.JPG)

I talked to the director of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" - she liked the idea of a brown floor for her show....looking rustic....so she kept it.

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-6cc0UvmDtSo/VXysKcUiv6I/AAAAAAAANoo/oqgGbGmSurE/w1049-h699-no/IMG_1263.JPG)

I had decided to keep it for "Bad Seed" since the setting was a house interior, and it was so nice.

Today were putting up the walls, and I noticed....the floor had been painted BLACK....I said: "Hey, TJ, [one of the workshop directors]....I wanted to keep that brown floor for my show...."

Linda the shop manager said: "It wasn't him, I painted it black.  I was tired of looking at that floor after two shows......"

So I said: "And how many shows have had BLACK floors?"

"Well, if you don't like it, have someone paint it back."

I didn't say anything....what can you say to people who do things just to be mean?

Funny BK should mention the initials thing. Just this morning I was reading an Amazon review, which used "NBD".  NBD?? It took me a moment: no big deal. I don't think it's just that people don't want to take the time to type out complete words. A surprising number of people these days seem to have a vocabulary of not more than a dozen words or phrases. The fast food approach to communication, ie, a very limited menu.

After the first episode of DANCING ON THE EDGE, I kept thinking, "Stephen Poliakoff wrote this? This is a real departure for him." But I now see Poliakoff the writer in it.

The composer, Adrian Johnstone, is not someone I was familiar with. He's not new to film scores, though. What great music he created for this film!

DR Jane, I texted a picture for Keith to the cell number I had for you in my phone.  Hope you got it!

Did you see my response?  I'm never sure about my cell phone.

While i like the idea of so many people changing their profiles on facebook to rainbows it hurts my head so much.I can't do strobe lights or anything like that. And the rainbow images are hurting my head/eyes so bad I am not sure what to do. :(

.

That is terrible.  I can also be sensitive, fortunately I find the rainbows subtle.  if you scroll the pages extra slowly does it help?

No. And i am having problems this week with my sinuses/headaches. So i am finding it extra bad.

Feel better vibes!

Thanks Jennifer.  I'm back to the Banana, Rice, Applesauce, Toast (BRAT) diet.   Luckily, I like all those things

I don't understand how bananas & applesauce help, plus a ripe banana is a headache food.

Last September for "The Man Who Came to Dinner", director Ric painted the stage floor to simulate the interior of an old house.  He spent many HOURS doing so, and it looked wonderful.

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-odM4j9c5SsE/VDa_YHxZLgI/AAAAAAAAMdQ/pLswUqrXVS0/w1024-h683-no/IMG_0956%2B%2528Copy%2529.JPG)

I talked to the director of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" - she liked the idea of a brown floor for her show....looking rustic....so she kept it.

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-6cc0UvmDtSo/VXysKcUiv6I/AAAAAAAANoo/oqgGbGmSurE/w1049-h699-no/IMG_1263.JPG)

I had decided to keep it for "Bad Seed" since the setting was a house interior, and it was so nice.

Today were putting up the walls, and I noticed....the floor had been painted BLACK....I said: "Hey, TJ, [one of the workshop directors]....I wanted to keep that brown floor for my show...."

Linda the shop manager said: "It wasn't him, I painted it black.  I was tired of looking at that floor after two shows......"

So I said: "And how many shows have had BLACK floors?"

"Well, if you don't like it, have someone paint it back."

I didn't say anything....what can you say to people who do things just to be mean?

The brown floor looks nice and she was rather rude to change it without talking to you.

We went to the early show and saw ONLY IN MY DREAMS with Blythe Danner.  She was excellent and looked terrific.  While not a great film I enjoyed it.  Keith was rather disappointed.

There really should be a term--and perhaps there is--for the sort of overreaching behavior that JRand described. I'm wondering what color her car is and how it should perhaps be repainted. (Just a fantasy, of course.)

I still have one wisdom tooth ... I had the other 3 removed.  As well as lost a couple of molars   It seems I will be losing a few incisors soon

( radiation plays havoc with teeth)I am exploring the options for replacements.

That is the other problem with implants.  You have to wait, at least, six weeks between removal and the implants.
