I don't believe I have seen a movie since LE MIZ and that was 2014.  So I will have to excuse myself from the Topic of the Day

Topic of the Day (in no particular order):

Inside Out
The Martian
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Ex Machina
Far from the Madding Crowd

That's all I can think of right now.  I know that there are more.

I had one unsettling dream: a couple of weeks I dreamed that I had moved into an apartment on Broadway and 27th Street, but it was haunted by a really evil spirit that I was terrified to stay there, so I kept returning to my Upper West Side place.  So, last night I dreamed that I had decided to leave the 27th Street place.  Much of the dream was about my going from room to room determining what to grab and what to dump before the ghost got restless.

The laundry is in the washers.  I should be finished by 10:30 at the latest.  Then, around 11:00, I'll head for a bus to Lincoln Center.  I want to stop at a dept. store before I go to the practice room. Then I can walk down to the corner of Amsterdam and take a No. 11 bus home.

I will be directing ON GOLDEN POND the July production.....and I will be doing it as a revival with four members of our original cast returning.

Of course the woman who repainted my floor last summer spoke up to say that she didn't think ANY show should be precast and that everyone should have a chance.  I said there might be a LOT of people who THINK they could do a better job, it is unlikely that anyone could.

No matter how many auditions we hold, no matter how many new people we use in every show, no matter what we do, people still complain.  And guess what?  Those who complain the most?  Well, I've NEVER seen them at ANY audition!

I know what you mean. My Mom's birthday just passed on December 6th, which has been sad for the past 8 years. When I made coffee on the 6th, I made a cup for my Mom in a special cup and saucer. My Navajo friends told me that this is nice to do for our loved ones who we miss. So I tried it this year. No matter we will always remember them, and miss them.

Post by: Jeanne on December 14, 2015, 07:22:55 PM
I am wearing my new computer glasses!! That may not seem like a big deal, but getting new glasses after my surgeries has proven to be extremely difficult. I seem to be in a bureaucratic black hole. I STILL don't have the authorization for my progressives (driving glasses), even though it's been almost a month of active pursuit. It's quite maddening. Everything that could possibly go wrong seems to have done so. The only reason I have the computer glasses is that I paid for them myself. They're from Warby Parker, my first purchase from an online optician. Without glasses I have had to move my laptop a few inches closer to me. With glasses I need to move it further away. But we're getting there.

Thanks DR Jeanne! I am trying not to be nervous. (I keep thinking it's tomorrow, but it's Weds.)

BTW, I have a new annoying upstairs neighbor. Really very much the same type as before with the benefit that they kick out any guests by 11 p.m. Other than that, they're still a bit annoying. The REALLY annoying ones just transferred to another unit in the same development.

They kept the same parking spot which is next to mine. After they moved, the guy's girlfriend was getting too comfortable using mine, since it's empty as I do not own a car (too expensive right now).

It made me angry so I complained to the manager's office (one of the agents is a young woman who I've deduced is their friend) and told them that I would not hesitate to have her car towed.

I have to admit that tonight is the first time I've really paid attention to her.

The young woman agent was taken aback and I said that just because I do not have a car that doesn't mean I don't make use of my parking spot. The girlfriend of my former neighbor did occupy my spot one time after that and I had some parking stickers from the front office with warnings and whatnot. That did it and she's stayed clear since.

Vibes to DR DanM that all goes smoothly at his check-up tomorrow.

Thanks DR Jeanne! I am trying not to be nervous. (I keep thinking it's tomorrow, but it's Weds.)

BTW, I have a new annoying upstairs neighbor. Really very much the same type as before with the benefit that they kick out any guests by 11 p.m. Other than that, they're still a bit annoying. The REALLY annoying ones just transferred to another unit in the same development.

They kept the same parking spot which is next to mine. After they moved, the guy's girlfriend was getting too comfortable using mine, since it's empty as I do not own a car (too expensive right now).

It made me angry so I complained to the manager's office (one of the agents is a young woman who I've deduced is their friend) and told them that I would not hesitate to have her car towed.

Oh, Weds vibes, then.

At least there's some improvement. Does your volunteer driver ever need to use your space? Are you allowed to rent it out?

Watching something called Wodehouse in Exile, supposedly based on a real events, about Wodehouse and the Nazis.

I doubt it will be fun. But it does have Zoe Wanamaker.

Dan M, do you know why the really annoying neighbors moved?

(My annoying neighbors have not moved, but they have quieted down.)

I'm not sure. They didn't move all that far from my building. I've always had the impression that since they are friends with the young woman in the front office (all of them being early college age 21 or so) they may have felt that moving to a more accepting building, i.e. one with a more college-age crowd, that they could continue on with their well-into-the-morning soirées. I doubt that will go over well. Of course, they never liked the fact that I called the Sheriff on them several times and they could not counter. They knew they were in the wrong. A bunch of big dummies, immature, and never having any consideration for their fellow people.

At least the new neighbor(s) is aware of that. Only problem I have with them so far is that they both walk as if they are stamping out ants on the floor. I guess if that's the extent of the annoyance I get from them, I will have to accept gladly considering the outrageous behavior of the last one.

Post by: Dan M on December 14, 2015, 08:57:26 PM
DR Jeanne: (continued)

Not that I claim to have any telekinetic powers, but perhaps my daily wish for the annoying neighbors to move was somehow answered. There were many nights of no sleep when I would clench my fist at the ceiling and say things I cannot repeat here and then motioning with my hand as if to sweep away I would say to the ceiling go away and leave. They did eventually, but it's probably just wish fulfilment and not anything psychic. Although it makes for an interesting anecdote.

THIS TV is playing "How To Stuff A Wild Bikini" which is a fun popcorn movie. What I really like is that it reminds me of the time when movies had great opening credits, in this case created by Art Clokey. Whenever I see a movie that has interesting opening credits as opposed to just a crawl, it helps make the transition into the world of the movie. Plus, it makes me think that there was some care in putting the movie together. Then again, if I don't catch the very, very beginning with the studio logo, I feel as though I am starting late.

There's only one recording I know of with her singing. It's a collection of songs from the original Band Wagon that done on the radio. It's been released on CD. It's not a great voice, but not bad.

Really enjoying Wodehouse in Exile. It seems he was unwittingly used by the Nazis while he was in an internment camp. Instead of showing British resolve and humor in the worst of circumstances, he was accused of aiding and abetting the enemy.

Page two?  Really?  I don't recall this being a holiday.

Not officially, but we had an impromptu holiday at work. :-\  I to got work at about 10:15 and at about 10:30, the power went out!  No one knew what happened.  There was no weather issues, so I assumed that there was some sort of accident.
Title: Re: THE YEAR IN REVIEW CONTINUES
Post by: George on December 14, 2015, 10:17:38 PM
The power was out for a couple of hours before the admin. decided to close the building.  They got word that Puget Sound Energy wouldn't be able to get there until about 12:30 and PSE had no idea how long it would take to fix whatever they found, so because of this, the two-hour threshold for closing the building would be met.  Most people left.  I stayed for the two hours because I had some things to do, but right about 12:15, I decided to leave.  Fortunately, we have "emergency leave" so that we don't have to use vacation time. 
Title: Re: THE YEAR IN REVIEW CONTINUES
Post by: George on December 14, 2015, 10:18:09 PM
Right about that time, the power came on!  HOWEVER, the computer servers didn't.  The last time the power went out, someone said that it took Computer Services more than an hour to get the servers back up, which meant that I still had a legitimate reason to leave and be able to use emergency leave. ;D
Title: Re: THE YEAR IN REVIEW CONTINUES
Post by: George on December 14, 2015, 10:19:20 PM
So, I left and went to Taco Del Mar for lunch, then went to Costco to get some meatballs and Yoshida sauce for tomorrow's annual holiday potluck!  Then realized that I had forgotten my tablet at work!  I went back to work to get my tablet, the power and the servers were up and running, but I still was able to take the rest of the day off using emergency leave, because I left when it was still not all working.

After all that, I went to my parents' house for, coincidentally, spaghetti and meatballs!  They were good.  My mom also asked if I would buy some flea killer on Amazon for their cat.  Evidently, Henry (the cat) has gotten some fleas during this warm winter.  I ordered what my mom wanted and it'll arrive sometime next week.

I also had to call Comcast for them because somehow their cable box's closed captioning got turned on (not a euphemism) and none of us could figure it out.  It definitely wasn't the TV's closed captioning/subtitles.  It turned out to be a very simple fix, so the call only took about a minute...and I didn't have to wait very long to speak with someone, either.  It's easy enough to remember how to fix it if it happens again.  I just can't figure out how it could've been turned on in the first place.

I am wearing my new computer glasses!! That may not seem like a big deal, but getting new glasses after my surgeries has proven to be extremely difficult. I seem to be in a bureaucratic black hole. I STILL don't have the authorization for my progressives (driving glasses), even though it's been almost a month of active pursuit. It's quite maddening. Everything that could possibly go wrong seems to have done so. The only reason I have the computer glasses is that I paid for them myself. They're from Warby Parker, my first purchase from an online optician. Without glasses I have had to move my laptop a few inches closer to me. With glasses I need to move it further away. But we're getting there.
I have an appointment with the surgeon tomorrow to do more testing of the Toric lens. I have some questions for him, too. I'll be very glad when I finally have glasses and can close this chapter.

Thanks DR Jeanne! I am trying not to be nervous. (I keep thinking it's tomorrow, but it's Weds.)

BTW, I have a new annoying upstairs neighbor. Really very much the same type as before with the benefit that they kick out any guests by 11 p.m. Other than that, they're still a bit annoying. The REALLY annoying ones just transferred to another unit in the same development.

They kept the same parking spot which is next to mine. After they moved, the guy's girlfriend was getting too comfortable using mine, since it's empty as I do not own a car (too expensive right now).

It made me angry so I complained to the manager's office (one of the agents is a young woman who I've deduced is their friend) and told them that I would not hesitate to have her car towed.

Good for you, Dan!  What's yours is yours!

Well, I need to go to bed now.  Tomorrow at work is our annual holiday potluck (hence, the aforementioned meatballs and Yoshida sauce), and I'd like to get there early enough to partake of the gift exchange.  It ends at 10:00 am, and I usually don't get there until 10:15 or so, so I've missed out the last several years.  I bought a nice gift to bring.  Depending on the weight and wrapping paper of the other anonymous gifts that we all exchange, I might decide to keep what I brought. ;)
