Well, you've read the news, the news was broken and broke on Friday, and now it is time for you to post until the broken cows come home - they're currently keeping up on all the breaking MOOS.

Never seen this before and I thought I had ALL of the Ed Sullivan clips.  This is "Cool" from West Side Story - done before the show where Carol Lawrence and Larry Kert did the balcony scene, Tonight and Maria.  This was before that by a few months.  Mostly the original cast - Mickey Callan was gone already, but Tony Mordente and David Winters are there, along with several others.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=190&v=2_-3WpLVfGs

I slept rather solidly. My last dream was something to do with an "experimental" British company working on a production of Cole Porter's JUBILEE that added extra characters and removed all humor from the show. I was appalled.

Have you ever stopped at JR Cigars, vixmom?  Halfway up NC -- if it's still there.  It's a fun place to stop for a break and look through a big ol' store that has a little bit of everything.

Sorry to hear we won't see BK and the show here, but of course that's completely understandable.

I had originally thought I would go to L.A. for this upcoming Home Theater Forum meet, but that ain't going to happen this time, either.  I do want to get out there sometime soon.

Friday afternoon greetings from beautiful Yellow Springs, Ohio!  I'm here for an all-day grantwriters' conference and have only moderate interest in the content.  I'm here mostly to see my friends, take pictures for the organization's president, and help celebrate that this is the 10th anniversary of this conference.  Right now, I'm listening to an over-caffeinated woman talk about social return on investment.

I have been running around all afternoon because the jerk who handles the IRA  accounts at my Citibank branch wasn't in, and absolutely no one there - all were helpful - knows nothing, zilch, nada, rien about the accounts or what to do. Finally a very kind banker, after several others crashed and burned, found a phone number, then got a fax number and faxed my forms.  I got home to learn the form was out of date - which this missing link could have told me - and a young lady in that dept. emailed me the new forms to print out, fill out, and fax again.  I had to go to Staples and it cost me $10.00.

God damn!

I loathe amazon sometimes.  I finally got the CD listed but didn't add a photo of the cover because all of that is very confusing!  So, for whatever reason it added a Hangover Square cover - I don't sell any limited editions on Amazon, so I don't really understand that, since I have never uploaded that cover.  So, I tried to change it to no avail.  I finally cancelled the listing and have been trying for thirty minutes to list it again, which it won't do - error messages all over the place.  I've e-mailed them.

video promotion for the San Francisco Opera's production of SWEENEY TODD. The Tobias looks a bit like Smike from the Royal shakespeare NICHOLAS NICKLEBY, and Stephanie Blythe is not bad as Lovett. I can't say I'm crazy about the Anthony; I could have cast it better.  As far as I'm concerned the original Broadway cast has never been bettered, but I susect this looks wonderful in the big SF opera house..

I've spent far more time than is reasonable coordinating various things relating to my upcoming eye surgery. Twice I've received snarky phone calls (automated variety) telling me  my eye drop prescriptions are ready to be picked up. Twice I've gone to the drugstore to learn that they aren't ready at all. Worse, we're not even on the same page. They were trying to contact my doctor to authorize a prescription I don't even need. I phoned UCLA just yesterday and they resent the Rx with the correct information. UCLA insists they sent it, Rite-Aid says they don't have it. Sheesh! It doesn't help that I'm dealing with a different pharmacist each time.

Is this what comes of having surgery during a Mercury retrograde?

So pleased that the VixVacation is such a success. It sounds like a lot has been packed into the time available.

It's a "Vixcation"!

;)

Quite right, George. Vacation, staycation, Vixcation.

The damn heat here is the worst its ever been - last week all the weather pundits said it was ending.  It hasn't and it's worse. 


Sorry it's so hot there, BK.
Luckily, our temps have been comfortable lately. 

It's been overcast and cool, here in Tumwater.

Lucky you!

I suspect they'll be cooling quite a bit in another few weeks.

Last year it was hot until November. I'm afraid this year will be the same.

I had the audacity to purchase a new sweater recently. I may have to leave LA in order to wear it.

;D

Come here.  It is cooling down and we had rain today.

Good evening.  They have started showing my neighbors house.  I decided it was a good time to sit on the front porch. Don't think the first ones saw me, it was a young couple and a young child.  That wouldn't be too bad.  Two more showings tomorrow, but I'm not going to stake out the windows, lol

I have to do an appeal brief this weekend. It shouldn't be too bad, but I really need to do it.  I also want to go to an apple orchard about 1 1/2 hours from here.  Of course that could wait a week, but I may get up early in the morning and go there.  They open at 8 so, I could go and be back before noon quite easily

Well, it's time for me to leave work (I actually should've left a half hour ago ::) ).  Anyway, time to go home and watch some TV or do some other stuff.  We'll see.

Until later.

What I really want more than the browser itself are my bookmarks.  I can't tell where or which file is the Firefox bookmarks file.

Title: Re: BREAKING NEWS ON A FRIDAY
Post by: George on September 25, 2015, 11:55:31 PM
I have some installation files to a couple of earlier versions.  I'm going to try installing one of those to see if that wil at least allow the browser to open up, if not actually get online.

I went to the "About Firefox" link under Help and it has an update to version 12.0.  I think the latest version is in the 40s. 
Title: Re: BREAKING NEWS ON A FRIDAY
Post by: George on September 26, 2015, 12:03:29 AM
I wonder if I keep applying the updates if it'll hit a point where it won't work again.  If that does happen, at least I might be able to uninstall again and re-update it to the latest version that works, even if it is an older version.  We'll see!
Title: Re: BREAKING NEWS ON A FRIDAY
Post by: George on September 26, 2015, 12:05:13 AM
Well, I guess version 12 doesn't work.  I'll try going back to v. 9.

Back from a weird but occasionally good show.  Sami went up three times - two of them I didn't really care about - and one she just sang a lyric twice, which made hash out of the two lines that followed it in the second verse, rhyme-wise.  But she skipped ALL the lines in the Frog number - she got the audience member up there, got his coat on and went directly to the song, thereby losing about four of the biggest laughs in the show.  I think she learned that she needed to be a little more serious about the pick-up rehearsal - had she been, I don't think any of that would have happened.  She was fine otherwise but everything felt slightly off to me.
