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

And a happy haineshisway.com birthday to former dear reader Ann - she use to at least make occasional stops back here, but I'm afraid she completely lives on Facebook, 24/7, along with a few other dear readers.

T.O.D.

Ordinarily, I'd go out to Redbox and rent PATRIOT'S DAY for the weekend, but I still don't have the stamina to sit through a 2 hour movie.  I have a bunch of first-rate one-hour episodic TV shows that were recorded in my absence last week (e.g. CHICAGO P.D., LAW & ORDER: SVU, etc.) but I'm finding it difficult to stay focused on them, too.

I know.  It will get better every day, but healing is a bitch!

I then went to Half Price Books and spent too much money on Texas cookbooks, one of those bad books that shoehorn two musical theater writers together (Cole and Noel) and more.

Saw something called Pride and Prejudice and Kitties. Guess it's for those who don't care for zombies.

The table centerpieces were yard art shaped like dogs and cats. I bought one of a dog. Very fun.

Today I must study SUPERSTAR, and tonight I sit with Keyboard 2 to observe.

Playing some auditions for three shows on Sunday, so tomorrow I need to get several numbers from INTO THE WOODS into my fingers, along with whatever anyone's likely to audition with from SEUSSICAL - of which I know not one damned whit.  The other show, thank God, is WEST SIDE STORY.  That's my bailiwick.

When I was recovering from my shoulder surgery I watched a lot of hour shows I had recorded, and surprisingly I read a lot.  I slept on and off during the day as I couldn't sleep at night.  Two hour movies were best if they were not too deep and breaks could be taken while watching.

Reading is difficult.  Can't concentrate more than a few minutes.

I get the morning newspaper; read the headlines and sub-headlines and that's about it.

There is no Roquefort dressing in LA - but wedge salads have made a comeback usually with bleu cheese - in the old days it really was just a quarter head of lettuce - now it's usually adorned with bacon bits and onions and other stuff.

Mark and I have been watching "The Voice" and we're very impressed with Brennley Brown's performances.
We normally don't watch any reality television, including any of these talent show-type shows, but Patrick Cassidy's son, Jack Cassidy, is also being featured this season and he's also moving up through the trials and doing very well. And of course, Mark and I have to watch anything with a Cassidy in it.

This has been a good day save for the fact that my pension check didn't arrive - last month it did arrive on the last day of the month - hopefully it will be here tomorrow.

Is it your choice not to have direct deposit?

I am home.  The recording is in the can. After a shaky beginning, things started rolling.  After the ensemble laid down their tracks with the vocals from yesterday, everything began to make sense to the producer and engineer.  Suddenly I'm a rock star again. 

Heigh-ho, the glamorous life!

Yea :D :)

I actually got 100 Two for the Roads today - I guess they do 100 free promos above the 1000 we ordered - so that's nice.  I've been trying all the damn day to get someone to give me the final total due so I can pay it, but apparently no one in finance actually works.  So, probably won't get to pay until Monday.

We don't buy lettuce and use cabbage instead so a wedge salad is a treat for me.  I order it with thousand island dressing and it brings back good memories.

When my hearts races I find taking a minute to take a deep breath & hold it.  I relax while doing so.  Sometimes it takes a couple of tries but it works for me.

I wasn't too thrilled with my meal , the mushroom, which was advertised as "stuffed" with muenster and cheddar cheese (a tiny amount of some weird cheese mixture,not slices of each) was breaded and deep fried, obviously from frozen.  It was rubbery and not very nice,  the bun looked like it came out a store brand  12 for 99 cents pkg.

When I do this to control my racing heart it is not from a panic attack though keeping calm help so it doesn't get worse.  I think it is holding my breath that really stops it.  I have no idea why.

Back from the "pit" at Jesus Christ Superstar.  This is a very nice theater, even if they've only been able to carve out a corner for musicians.  But that corner is better than much of what we have to put up with around here.

From what I could see, it looks like a beautifully dark and intense production, and it moves right along.  I might go back to watch it before I play, and I do want to hear the actual balances.
