Well, you've read the notes, the notes had some Monday musings, and now it is time for you to post until the musing cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: HESPERIDIUM!
-
It was 107 degrees here yesterday. Summer is supposed to be OVER.

First post after BK!

That is a tough question. I love cakes, but I can't remember any knockout cakes. Maybe the first time my mom made a red velvet cake?
Other than that, my favorite cake would be a regular chocolate cake with white buttercream frosting.
Hmmm, I will have to give this question some more thought.

I LOVE regular chocolate cake with white buttercream frosting, especially from Costco. :D

George, ever since you mentioned pudding the other night, I have had a craving for either chocolate pudding or tapioca pudding.

Kritzerland is proud to present three scores on two-CDs at a one-CD price, all from the brilliant films of Samuel Fuller:
FULLER AT FOX
including
HELL AND HIGH WATER
Composed and Conducted by Alfred Newman
PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET
Composed by Leigh Harline Conducted by Lionel Newman
HOUSE OF BAMBOO
Composed by Leigh Harline Conducted by Lionel Newman
Samuel Fuller began his working relationship with Daryl F. Zanuck and Twentieth Century Fox in 1951 with Fixed Bayonets! That film was quickly followed by the three films whose scores are included in this set – Hell and High Water, Pickup on South Street, and House of Bamboo.
For Hell and High Water, Fuller assembled a first-rate cast, including Richard Widmark, Victor Francen, Cameron Mitchell, David Wayne, Gene Evans, Richard Loo, and, as Denise Girard, and newcomer Bella Darvi. The film’s handsome photography was by Joseph MacDonald and the music was by Alfred Newman, the head of the Fox music department, who by the time of Hell and High Water had already won six Oscars.
Newman, of course, turned in an exemplary score, highlighting all the action, suspense, and romance in his usual brilliant way. The score is yet another Newman classic from an era in which he simply could do no wrong.
The year prior to Hell and High Water, Fuller made a noir classic for Fox, Pickup on South Street, which starred Richard Widmark, Jean Peters, Richard Kiley, and the extraordinary Thelma Ritter (who was nominated for an Oscar for this film). The score was written by Leigh Harline. At that point, Harline had already won an Oscar for Best Song with “When You Wish Upon a Star,” from Walt Disney’s Pinocchio (lyrics by Ned Washington), and one for Best Original Musical Score for that film. Harline’s music is top-notch, starting with his propulsive main title music, which really sets the mood for what’s to come – jagged, bluesy, and jazzy. The film’s music perfectly defines its characters, drama, and milieu. It’s a great score for one of Fuller’s finest films.
Finally, we have House of Bamboo, starring Robert Ryan, Robert Stack, Shirley Yamaguchi, Cameron Mitchell, Brad Dexter, Sessue Hayakawa, DeForest Kelley, and Biff Elliot. The film is classic Fuller and while it takes place in Japan it more often takes place in Fullerland. Once again, Fuller turned to Leigh Harline for the score and Harline turned in what was and is one of his best scores. It is lush with melody and orchestral color, and the Fox orchestra has rarely sounded more beautiful. Harline remains one of the most under-appreciated of the Golden Age composers, but hopefully with each CD release, new fans will emerge and people will appreciate just how great he was.
All three scores have had previous releases but are long out of print. For this release, Hell and High Water has received a loving upgrade from Mike Matessino, and he has newly mastered the other two scores. We are thrilled to follow up our release of Preminger at Fox with this tribute to one of the most interesting and one-of-a-kind directors in all of cinema – Fuller at Fox – with the music of two wonderful composers who knew exactly what Samuel Fuller and his films were all about.
Fuller at Fox is limited to 1000 copies only and priced at $19.98, plus shipping. CDs will ship by the third week of October, but never fear, we’ve actually been averaging three to five weeks early in terms of shipping ahead of the official ship date.

You, too, Tom!
-
Well, I need to get some sleep. Good night, Tom.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I had too many dreams last night, I kept waking and thinking Oy! What did I dream?
Ibe was a nightmare about a monster in Central Park, another was going to a Christmas show, Bette Midler in Hello, Dolly!
-
So, I am packed and ready to go. I hope I have no problems getting a taxi to Port Authority around 9:30.
-
And of course there's rain, so I hope that doesn't screw up anything.
-
Before I leave, I need to call Randy. I am thinking, although I really cannot afford it, to rent a car for two days to drive to Oxford in Wednesday and Thursday.
-
I have things to accomplish before I go.
-
Good morning to all
-
Good morning, all.

CD sounds like a winner!

I bought Pickup recently and almost watched Sunday. Must be Sam Fuller in the air.

I need more sleep.

I talked to Randy, and I will indeed rent a car for a couple of days. Much as I appreciate his and DR Ginny's volunteer chauffering, I don't want to stick them with waiting for me.

Travel vibes to Larry!

Tuesday morning greetings!

These unexpected layoffs are an all too frequent occurrence in today's economy and job culture, DR Ginny.

Alas, yes.

So, I announced last night at midnight so I wouldn't have to get up so early - and yet, I'm up so early. Unbelievable. I think it's the damn mac-and-cheese with the hatch chilis - just too spicy for my tummy so no more of that stuff.
-
The Cvs stores here are all closed today. Wonder why.
-
Hmmm.....I will have to check the status of our local CVS stores.....
-

Yes indeed...even if he is listing a little bit to starboard...

Let's move on
-
Three!

Good afternoon.
-
My avatar does make me look slightly inebriated however I was NOT having that much fun.
I saw a tv commercial for a Marie Callender's Turkey Dinner which looked very good, so I bought a couple of them. I have had one, and it was indeed a nice meal. So I bought a couple of more of them....some roast beef and beef something or other.....easy fix.....and vegetables and all....
-
Greetings from Ohio. Jo made a vat of vegetable soup and we just finished dinner.
-
When I got to my room and opened my luggage, I found a note from Transport Security telling me they had been checking my bag for contraband. This was an unexpected and unpleasant surprise. As far as I can tell, nothing's missing.
-
Thanks to all of you who sent vibes today!
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Glad to see that Larry's arrived safely in Ohio.
As for the little love note in your luggage, is this because you look so much like a terrorist? Or a smuggler, perhaps? Better the love note than an air mishap. It's disturbing, I know.

I don't eat much frozen food, but I think Marie Callendar's is some of the best of the frozen meals.

Health vibes to all DRs and friends of DRs.
-
continued vibes to all feeling the effects of Harvey.

The plumbers arrived at 8:45 and snaked the bathroom drains. After they left I cleaned up the mess, then resumed my day. I treated myself to a couple tacos and am now in for the day. We have at least a week of hot weather ahead of us and I wilt quickly.
-
I'm ready for some R&R time.
TTFN.

Every once in a while they do that. I don't know if the x-ray machine triggers it or if it is a random check.
-
It seemed very muggy this afternoon while we were walking, making our 83 degrees seem much warmer. To our surprise the humidity is only 39%.
-
Good evening!
-
I'm glad to hear you made it safely to Ohio, DR elmore!

Mine are checked more often than not when I fly.
-
Glad you arrived safely, Elmore.
-
Watching Vivacious Lady. George Stevens directs Ginger Rogers and Jimmy Stewart. Fun.
-
Well, I'm off to rehearsal.
Be back later.
-
Well I am home to the optometrist
-
I received the unwelcome news that I am growing a cataract on my right eye
-
Page three? Really?
-
Had the little film music event rehearsal with Tom Griep and flutist Sara Andon.
-
Then I sat on my couch like so much fish and listened to a Rozsa classical SACD - very good. Then I fell asleep for thirty minutes.
-
It was something like 105 today. And the snigger at "climate change." Uh huh. This is so normal.
-
Perhaps some nice person would be good enough to get us off this damn page?
-
Where in tarnation IS everyone? What the HELL is going on here at haineshisway.com?
-
Not sure what I want to do this evening. I had a chicken Caesar at eleven-thirty and I don't want to eat very much beyond that but that's not enough. But I don't even want to step outside - it's like a sauna bath.
-
Four!
-
Watching a weird little movie called Opening Night, which is about a failed actor who is a stage manager (Topher Grace) of a Broadway musical that really needs some help. Anne Heche, Taye Diggs, J.C. Chasez and more. The show is called One Hit Wonderland.
-
The MidWest feels so much fuller and more intelligent now that DR ELMORE has joined us.
-
DR ELMORE remember the password is Swordfish.
-
There's a really fun woman in Opening Night called Alona Tal. I hope she has a decent career. Nice voice, nice attitude and she looks just like a blond Anna Kendrick.
-
Good night, all.
-
Page four? What in tarnation is going on here?
-
I had some of the frozen mini-taco things, which are calorie friendly.
-
Guess I'll put the motor car in the garage shortly. It must be in the high nineties right now.
-
Good evening!
-
It is warm here this evening, but not as hot as California.
-
I think it was 89 here today, but that is warm for us.
-
I went to lunch with my friend, Martin, today.
-
We went to Joeseppi's which is a good Italian restaurant.
-
But boy they did not have a lunch rush today.
-
We sat in the lounge, and I think there was only two other tables of diners in the room.
-
I received the unwelcome news that I am growing a cataract on my right eye
Just one eye, interesting. Don't feel too bad. When your cataracts are bad enough you can get your vision corrected along with the cataract surgery ;)
-
I watched a documentary called 9/11 - 15 YEARS LATER.
-
It was basically the documentary the two Frenchmen were making on 9/11 about the rookie fireman working in lower Manhattan.
-
I think it was 89 here today, but that is warm for us.
A little hotter than here. Was it also muggy there?
-
Then there was a update at the end that showed what had happened to the firemen in the last 15 years.
-
When I see the photos of Texas I am greatly relieved DR DRUXY and DR John are not dealing with flooding.
-
I had never seen the documentary before, but I had heard about it.
-
They were the ones who actually filmed the first plane hitting the WTC.
-
It was a very powerful documentary.
-
It was very well done and none of the firemen from that station were killed.
-
I'm just sitting here like so much fish. Why not?
-
How in tarnation can we still be on page four?
-
It kind of satisfied my urge to watch any documentaries for a while.

I finally got a brand new refrigerator today.
-
Now I can restock the damn thing.
-
The old one finally gave up the ghost on Monday morning.
-
Tomorrow is the old actor's lunch.
-
I am not sure if I am going, or not.
-
Safeway is delivering groceries tomorrow at 2:00 p.m.
-
I need to switch computers and get ready for bed.

Finally! 😊

I thought you were getting a new frig BEFORE the old one gave up the ghost.
-
I hope you are very pleased with the new refrigerator.
-
I'm back.

The last time I reported the fridge, the assistant manager came up to check it out.
-
He found the fridge was too close to the wall, and it was causing it to overheat and shut itself off.
-
After he pulled it away from the wall, it started working again.
-
Well, that lasted a few weeks.
-
This time I got a brand new model.
-
And the old one is on the way to being recycled.
-
I received the unwelcome news that I am growing a cataract on my right eye
Oh, no! I actually have a small (and so, far slow growing) cataract, also. :-\

Tonight's rehearsal of Silent Sky went quite well. I goobered a couple of cues, but it was a rehearsal, so I'm not worried. The couple of cross fades that we added last night worked really well.
-
Do you know the actors in the show?
-
I saw a tweet from DR Ron today that said, "Done." I hope that means his move is complete.
-
I would have sent him a message asking if that was the meaning, but I don't know how to send someone a tweet.

I remember her from BRAIN.

The lone male actor and the lead female are married in real life. There are only four people in the show.
-
Are the married couple Olympia actors?

I've never heard of them, so I don't think so...unless they're new to the area. I didn't get a chance to read their bios in the program when it was passed around to be checked for typos.

I was just being curious.
