Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of restaging a murder, and now it is time for you to post until the murderous cows come home.

Maybe a crush on a movie actor/actress/celebrity.

Well, today is going to be a long day.  My sister wants me to come over and help her replace almost all the light fixtures in her house.  She wants to sell it (her house) and I guess new light fixtures are supposed to be a good thing.  I think the current light fixtures look really nice, but it's not my house, so what do I know? ::)

If it means a favorite movie star when we were children, without regard to gender, there are so many, but I'd say the first was Mitzi Gaynor in SOUTH PACIFIC (the movie version which IIRC I saw at 5 years old).  I remember when Mitzi Gaynor did her TV special, a rarity for her, where that "Alice Blue Gown" number was in the ads constantly, I along with a friend in elementary school were by then all agog about her.

How did they have time to help out with your work?  Is this possibly a sign that they don't have enough work to fill their regular day normally, while you may have more than your share?   or are they just extremely nice people?   (or both?)

Dorothy Malone was also a major crush.

Remembering the late Jack Carter, my former publicity client, on his birthday.

Jack was "the comedian's comedian," and I represented him for seven (7) years, longer than any other publicist.

My new novel, JACKIE GOES TO DIXIE, which is being published next month by BearManor Media, is dedicated, in part, to his memory.

Saturday morning greetings!  Freaky Friday continued last night, after Richard and I got back from the festive and delicious Cuban dinner.  I was in bed, about to turn off my light, when our room phone rang.  Apparently there was evidence of a water leak on the 15th floor that they'd traced to a pipe behind the wall in our closet (we're on 20).  Two maintenance men spent about an hour addressing the problem, while I totally expected to be told we were going to have to move.  That did not happen, but I still had trouble going to sleep after they left.

I've already scratched the first session off my morning schedule, especially when I determined just how far I was going to have to walk once I got to McCormick Place.

A couple of free hours before it'll be time to get ready for my matinee. 

We do the Tomie dePaola show this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon only.  The invited "abbey night" dress rehearsal was mostly pretty good last night, and the nuns loved it.  They were especially thrilled to see Mr. dePaola who has a long history there.  And it was nice for me to see a few of them that I'd gotten to know a little bit last summer.

The two matinees are just about sold out, so that's good for everyone.  And it's nice to have the evenings free.  An unusual situation, but this was an experimental thing for them to take on and I'm glad it's a success for them.

It has been wonderful meeting Mr. dP. and working with both him and Mother DH. 

And, oh my...  my passing on DR Ginny's librarian's greetings to him, which really delighted him, is taking on apocryphal dimensions.  He apparently related that greeting to the director, who included it in her introductory speech to the sisters last night, and the number of librarians I seem to know has already increased by leaps and bounds!   :)   

At this rate, today I'll probably hear I'm delivering the keynote address to the ALA...
Title: Re: RESTAGING A MURDER
Post by: ChasSmith on June 24, 2017, 06:12:25 AM
I have also passed on DR TCB's greetings and admiration to Mother Dolores, and she is more warmly gracious and happy in receiving these than you would ever imagine.

Edit:  She's one unique woman, and it's kind of a heady experience to be with the two of them in the knowledge that they've known each other since her early visits to the abbey while still an actress.

I'm up, I'm up - I doubt I slept more than three hours.  I've been fighting congestion and a scratchy throat all week, due to the two nights of no sleep.  The scratchy throat kind of went away, but last night I had a bad cough, chest congestion and just one of those things that keeps me from sleeping, always thinking I have to clear my throat. So, tonight it's NyQuil and all day I'll do Sambucol and the other stuff I do.

TOD:
My first crush was on a guy named Ethan, whom I met at a Jewish camp I went to every year. He lived far away, so I never saw him again - he never went to that camp again. But on the bus that was taking us back to our towns, we sat together and laughed the entire time. We had these little dolls that we made of ourselves (I don't remember why) and he kept smashing them together like they were voodoo dolls and he wanted them to make out, which was a bit provocative because we were only 10 years old. Hey, maybe I can find him on Facebook!

I never really had a movie crush, but my first TV crush (and really only TV crush) was on David Cassidy.

Before I run out of here, my little (very little) story about my stay at the Palmer House...

This was in the early '90s and I was in Chicago for a one- or two-night stay for a business convention or something.  On this particular occasion I should have just stayed at the Hyatt or wherever most of the activities were going on, but I'd always had a hankering for trying the Palmer House.  So I went off on my own there, checked in, and while I loved the old but then-faded elegance of the public areas, I found the section with my room in it to be in obvious need of some upgrading.  But no problem.  I'm here for the "experience", right?  They were busy and I took my own bags up to the room.

As I began unpacking, something felt "off".  Don't ask me why I wasn't immediately aware of what it was, but I wasn't.  Apparently I hadn't walked into the bathroom yet, because that would certainly have been a shock.  Anyway, I'd decided to put some of my clothes into a drawer, which I didn't always do but I wanted to this time.....and there was somebody else's socks and underwear.  It took a moment for the meaning of this to sink in, and I then went to the bathroom to discover personal stuff all over the place.  Ay yi yi...

Thank GAWD no one had been in there when I unlocked the door (with the old-fashioned key) and walked in.  I quickly gathered my stuff and went back to the desk, gave them the key, and told them they'd just put me in an occupied room.  They fixed it immediately, of course, and escorted me to a new room with a bellhop going in ahead of me to inspect it.  But...wow.

On another such business trip to Chicago, we were all staying at the Congress (?) on Michigan Avenue, and they were beyond full. 

I'd reserved a non-smoking room but the one they gave me was reeking as though a pack had just been smoked in there, and they insisted it was impossible to change rooms.  I suffered through it that night, but oddly enough, when I came back into it the following afternoon it was like there had never been a puff taken there.  Thank goodness, because they still couldn't change me.

But I love Chicago...    :)

I took my car in for an oil change yesterday. they were very busy, but managed to get it done in a reasonable period of time. I did some shopping in the area, then had lunch while waiting.

I am a pillow connoisseur. I try all sorts of pillows for lumbar support, but am mostly disappointed. Most are too soft and squish down. One was too hard--rock-hard, in fact. Where is the middle ground? Something that is substantial and gives good support, but still providing the necessary "give". I spent an hour at a foam store trying out all possibilities.

For BK and Jane, this was Norm's Foam at Motor and National. Great place to go for custom pillows and cushions.

I bought home some samples to play with.

Had a productive rehearsal.  Nothing was ready as promised - I actually don't know what the guy was doing there from five in the morning until we arrived, although he said there was some electrical issue that took two of the hours - the only thing new was one lighting effect - I wasn't so happy about it and I told him that everything has to be in place by eleven tomorrow morning - everything.  So, we began an hour later than we should have, but the cue-to-cue went very quickly - only a handful of scenes have interior cues, so those took some time and all the lights aren't hung so it was only an approximation - but it's going to look very good.  Grant's music is working really well, too.  So, I gave everyone an hour and fifteen minute lunch break, then we began the run-through around 1:30.  We did have to stop a couple of times but it was very minor and very quick.  I took a lot of nitpicky notes and gave them and by the time all that was done it was really too late to start another full run, so we worked on the specific notes then ran act three in its entirety.

I have also passed on DR TCB's greetings and admiration to Mother Dolores, and she is more warmly gracious and happy in receiving these than you would ever imagine.

Edit:  She's one unique woman, and it's kind of a heady experience to be with the two of them in the knowledge that they've known each other since her early visits to the abbey while still an actress.


Oh wow!  Thank you, DR Chas.  To think that my message was delivered to Mother Dolores!!

I got to my sister's and my niece and I started swapping out light fixtures.
Title: Re: RESTAGING A MURDER
Post by: George on June 25, 2017, 02:12:53 AM
Well, we started to, but the first one had no screws holding it on and it seemed like it was glued onto the ceiling!

I was able to swap out the fixture in their laundry room without any trouble.

While it was all fairly easy to do, it was very warm up on my sister's second floor.
Title: Re: RESTAGING A MURDER
Post by: George on June 25, 2017, 02:16:45 AM
Anyway, I was then able to replace a couple more fixtures, but the fourth had one of the screws hidden by the foil inside the fixture, so that took a moment.
Title: Re: RESTAGING A MURDER
Post by: George on June 25, 2017, 02:17:22 AM
Then I thought...maybe that first fixture had hidden screws too!

I can also be kind of picky with pillows.  A few years ago, I finally found one at Kohl's that I liked.  It's called the Side Sleeper Memory Foam Pillow by Perfect Comfort.  I bought two.
