Post by: bk on February 17, 2017, 01:52:17 AM: Finished proofing - forty-four little things - much less than usual - I mean tiny bad breaks and a couple of missed quote marks, etc. Really shouldn't take more than an hour to do those, then we'll have an hour to try some things with the chapter headings and titles. I also have to figure out the dedication - I think I have a fun idea. And now, to bed.

Post by: elmore3003 on February 17, 2017, 04:10:18 AM: I had a whopper of a dream involving a production of Jacques Brel is Alive and well . . . and The Drama Book Shop, with guest appearances by Arthur Seelen, the book shop owner who hired me in 1979, and my first Manhattan roommate, Melanie Carville, stepdaughter of actor Jack MacGowran, who died after filming The Exorcist. Melanie died far too young from a brain tumor around 1990, and Arthur died in 2000.

Post by: elmore3003 on February 17, 2017, 04:15:41 AM: Our so-called president and every executive action he makes terrifies me. As my ancestor Abraham Lincoln supposedly said, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

I cannot wait to see Alec Baldwin try to top the absurdity of yesterday's endless rant that the so-called president calls a "press conference." I hear the conservative party's answer to Moby Dick, Rush Limbaugh, praised it. The defense rests.

Title: Re: THE AUDIO BOOK AND THE BOOK DESIGN
Post by: John G. on February 17, 2017, 05:12:53 AM: An em-dash is the longest of the dashes between words and was so named because it take up the space of the fat letter "m". It is sometimes marked with two hyphens--when it's not available. There is also an en-dash (takes the space of a letter "n") and, of course, the hyphen.

There are varying rules as to when you use each.

I can't say I know the rules, but I use em-dashes all the time in everyday writing of notes and posting and whatnot. They create an easy "break" in a sentence that (for me) adds clarity in a mishegas of commas, parentheses, and ellipses.

I liked it, but I thought the background music was way overdone. Indeed, it was so intrusive that, at moments, we had trouble hearing the dialogue.
Title: Re: THE AUDIO BOOK AND THE BOOK DESIGN
Post by: ChasSmith on February 17, 2017, 05:47:19 AM: I'm wondering if they had em-dashes in Marcel Proust's day.

It took a move and a new bed for me to stop expecting Bogie to snuggle under the covers with me. It helped when Sherlock took his place but now I miss them both, the two snuggliest bedtime pets ever 😊

Post by: bk on February 17, 2017, 10:17:15 AM: There are a handful of paragraphs in this book consisting of one sentence and I'm very proud of them. I am the king of the em dashes - I began weaning myself off them two books ago and I always brag to Grant that the current book has many less of them - but then he points out that we still have over 100, perhaps more, so there you are. I like them a lot.
Title: Re: THE AUDIO BOOK AND THE BOOK DESIGN
Post by: bk on February 17, 2017, 10:17:48 AM: I'm up - maybe six-and-a-half hours of sleep, but that's only because I was up so late proofing. I shall be on my way to Grant's in about twenty minutes.

But, we learned late in the afternoon that the flooring had not been ordered and, thus, would not be installed today. They agreed to come back today to reseat the toilet (on the subfloor) so that we have a functioning bathroom for the weekend. Andy, the site supervisor was here this morning to apologize and to tell us that our project was the main agenda item during today's sales meeting.

Post by: George on February 17, 2017, 04:09:14 PM: Well, I just received several items in the mail:

* the Region 0, PAL DVD to the TV musical version of Studs Turkel's Working (http://www.soundofmusic-shop.de/s01.php?&sp=en&cur=eur&ag=1&pp=aa&bnr=30213) (I could've gotten it for a little less on Amazon.com, but I didn't think about searching other places at the time :-\ )

* the original German cast recording of Children of Eden (http://www.soundofmusic-shop.de/s01.php?&sp=en&cur=eur&ag=1&pp=aa&bnr=15647), in German

* the limited edition (1500 units), expanded original soundtrack to Tom Sawyer (http://www1.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm/ID/30586/TOM-SAWYER-EXPANDED-2-CD-1500-EDITION/), with songs by the Sherman Brothers (it was and is on sale for only $7.95!)

Post by: bk on February 17, 2017, 10:12:53 PM: One day of rain, and certainly not the hardest rain we've ever had even though everyone is behaving like that, and the entire Valley falls apart. Apparently on Laurel Canyon to cars fell into a huge sinkhole. One story said it was south of Ventura, one said at Moorpark - the usual idiots not knowing where something happened and scaring everyone. When I came home and looked down Moorpark towards Ventura I certainly saw now barricades and if something like that had happened there would be. Reminds me of the guy who got hit by a car, reported at Moorpark and Laurel when it fact it happened two miles west of there.
