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

And the word of the day is: TERPSICHOREAN!

First post after Dino!

First post after TCB!

Good night, George.
-
My Internet was not available for about 45 minutes! What's that all about?? :o
-
But it's back now, so all is right with the world!
;)
-
Good night, Tom.
-
Well, today's going to be a day. I get to sleep in! Hoo and Ray! Then, I'll go to my parents' for our family's weekly family dinner (I don't what we're eating), then I'm working concessions for one of the two different local ballet productions of "The Nutcracker." Tomorrow, I'm actually ushering for the other production. ;D
-
And now, to bed. 8)
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning. I gave up trying to sleep about an hour ago. It is going to be a very long day.
-
But the people who are having a party tonight always invite us to join them for dinner, even though we are "the help."
Well, not really the help. We come with the room. Like Uncle Chester.

Good morning

Yesterday was a very long day, it started at 6:30 am and I went to bed around 3:30 am
-
No I am heading into another long day. I'll tell you about it when I get back if I don't collapse first
-
BK,perhaps another Levi announcement us in order . I know I haven't looked at 2 of my email accounts for days
-
Good morning, all!
-
I got up around 2:30 to use the bathroom, got back to bed, and had an anxiety attack about the new GOP tax
scam bill, which essentially wipes out every one of my possible deductions, and could not get back to sleep for quite some time. Annabelle jumped on me around 7:15 to let me know she was hungry but I stayed in bed and fretted until 8.
-
Thatch's eyes are both open this morning, so I hope it mean his conjunctivitis is finally on the way out. I'll know more when its time for his meds. Annabelle's health seems rather good at the moment, and I'm hoping Dr Mohr will confirm that this week.

Good news and continued healing vibes for both of them

Tonight Joshie and I are attending a reading of a new show by a friend of ours. I have no idea what it will be like/
-
DR Jrand thank you for the wave vibes. All was and is good now. I was never concerned and very pleased/surprised I did not suffer from motion sickness. It seems to take rougher weather to bother me these days.
-
Normally when we arrive in a port we can walk to from the ship we do so on our own. We suspected it would be best to take the walking tour of Maputo instead of doing it on our own. We were very glad we followed our instincts.

Yikes.
But I didn't see anything about it wiping out any business deductions on Schedule C. So that's some good news, or did I miss something by reading it too fast?

Well the new tax bill looks like it's going through. My personal taxes are about to quadruple. I will not be able to deduct ANY of my agent commissions or dues, advertising, headshots, tickets, audition music or clothes. I don't know what to do. Our voices were not heard. We have been silenced and punished by millionaires and billionaires. I think a lot of performers are going to have to leave New York because of this. This is a depressing day.
DR FJL, will this not be the case?
-
Good morning, all.
-
DR Jennifer if I find a book mark on this trip I will be surprised. Just in case, do you have any favorite animals?
-
Well, another inch (yes, INCH) of snow to try to clean up. What a pain in the ASS week it’s been in that regard.
-
Good lord. This tax thing. Save us, DR FJL!
-
I wonder how much snow vixmom got.
-
Today we purchased t-shirts. Mine is green with a a dark green and black design of an elephant. I am wearing it now with a dark green elephant necklace (can't remember what it is made of) — it belonged to my mother.
-
I managed to find a large children's size. I gambled that it would fit and not be too short. It just fits and I like it much better than the oversized adult shirts. With luck it won't shrink.
-
At least it’s a ME day till show time tonight. Kristi and Nathan are going - their first time to see this, so that will be good. Too bad it’s our one night without a bass player. Last night’s sub was great, but literally no one was available tonight. Saturday before Christmas week, parties and shows everywhere, everyone’s booked.

DR George do you have a favorite animal I might find in Africa?

Just play it. It’ll be a piano and drums thing - not piano, bass and drums.
Last night’s guy asked me if I was going to split the keyboard and “play the bass” myself. Oddly, I hadn’t even thought of that, and it’s not a horrible idea. But not for this show, and certainly not without a lot of mental rearranging and practice. The full two-handed piano sound is much more important than attempting that.
-
Saturday morning greetings! It's kind of a slow morning here - I slept late (for me) and Richard slept even later. I have butter softening so I can make gingerbread dough this afternoon.

Perhaps a second keyboard player could play the bass part?
At any rate, break a leg tonight!

Annabelle was fired from another job today. She insisted on playing Nurse while I took care of Thatch's eyes. They're open but the eyelids are still caking up with gunky discharge. I need to wash all that off before I can apply the Erythromycin salve.
Well, my nurse was way too busy playing with the clean cotton balls to assist me. After the last cotton ball I laid out ended up in the bathtub, I sacked her and banished her from the operating room bathroom. The role of Nurse Nellie Forbush will not be played by Miss Annabelle this afternoon.
-
DR Chas, good luck without the bass player. It sounds like you will be fine, but then I do not know much about these things.

We had an early dinner tonight followed by a brisk walk around the deck while the ship left port. Now we are sitting at the back of the ship watching the tugboat, in the wake, escorting us out while an incredible orange/red sun is slowly dropping below the clouds.
-
Not so slowly as it is almost gone.
-
I'm up, I'm up - I was up at five-thirty first, then slept another hour at some point - so four hours of sleep.
-
The little tug boat in our wake sure is taking a beating. I am glad not to be in it bouncing around. I am sure I would be sick ;D
-
The little tug boat has picked up speed and is so close to the ship we have to stand at the railing to see it. I went to look and it is now working to pass us. We must almost be at the 7 mile limit before it turns around and passes us.

Pick up music vibes for MR BK & Co.
-
DR TCB is right - it is not unusual for someone coming to auditions at our theatre to write down they are auditioning for the lead. I always put "Will you accept another role? YES NO". They circle YES, but if you offer them something else, suddenly they don't want to waste their time NOT doing a leading role.
These are usually people who are lucky to be in the ensemble....and these are also the people who complain on FaceBook and to their friends, that the same people are always cast in the leads....
Well, they come to auditions, they most likely have spent their time in the ensemble and smaller roles, AND they can be trusted to come to rehearsal and learn their music and lines....take a smaller role and prove that you can do those things and see what happens.
I always cast people who have been in smaller roles or the chorus as new leads rather than people I don't know. I also look on the audition sheets for people who have LOTS of shows....but all of them are at DIFFERENT theatres....why no where more than once? I wonder.......

TOD:
Titanic (1953) and (1997) with strong reservations.....I wish the earlier version had the later versions technical advantage. I don't like A NIGHT TO REMEMBER because most of the characters are ciphers, and you don't really get to know enough about them to care....
Several films about 9/11 including UNITED 93 and WORLD TRADE CENTER.
PEARL HARBOR
I shall probably have some more as the world turns.....

Today must be rant day.
A friend wrote on BookFace this morning that the new Tax Bill is not advantageous for farmers either.

DR ELMORE give Annabelle another chance at South Pacific - she has to be better than Mitzi.

ROTFLMAO!
I think she's seen too many idiots on TV believing they can become instant stars that she thinks she's ready for the Big Time. She knows I support her ambitions, but I refuse to become a Stage Mother.

I agree with you, Jrand. It is a matter of paying your dues. When I started out I was thrilled to be in the ensemble or possibly given a line or two. Nowadays, it is a matter of entitlement. Maybe there was a larger pool of community theater actors when I started out. Today it is often hard to find enough men to cast for a lot of shows.
-
At the old actor's lunch last week we were talking about one particular actor who is in so many shows. One of the group wondered aloud why he was continuing to be cast. The reason is simple - he is willing to do any role you offer him.

Hello, everyone.

Good afternoon. I just dropped Wae-Ling and Sandra off at the new Star Wars movie. After I pick them up, it will be time for the party tonight.

But I bought the second to the last gift I need.
I hope it is what I wanted.
-
I just received a solicitation for a new credit card. The envelope was unsealed, i.e., opened, and the application form was missing. Ugh! I sent an email to the post office, but I don't expect much help from them. I suppose I could contact the credit card company's fraud department, but so far it's only mail tampering, not identity theft. Ugh! again.

This is not a problem I ever thought about, but I'm not a musician. You seem to know how to handle it. Vibes it goes well.

DR FJL, will this not be the case?
Wow, I didn't realize it went that far. I've been reading about how those of us in blue states will be hit and those of us who itemize. It looks like quite a few of us in the middle class will be paying more, not less. People were promised a tax cut, not a tax hike. I suspect there will be some real anger over this and I also suspect the Law of Unintended Consequences may come into play.

I am doing well, Jeanne. How about yourself?

TOD:
KINKY BOOTS, which I LOVE--the story and the movie--was based on real-life events. How much is real and how much fiction or embellishment is the question.

I'm glad to hear it. I'm a bit better, thanks.
Still working on the book?

I did the laundry and must now do some cleaning. It won't be a lot. Just not in the mood today.

I am glad that I checked in with the AARP / The Hartford about my auto insurance. I will save almost $380.00 by not switching to The Hartford

Aren't you mainly on a schedule C ("self-employment income") rathe rthan wages on a W-2?
I've been combing the information, and I can;t see where there are any new restrictions on a schedule C. If you hear anything I'm missing, PLEASE let me know. (although the almost-always-abused home office deduction, for part of someone's personal rent for example, looks like it's been restricted)
I think a lot of people who earns wages as employees may be deducting a lot less, but for so many, it's that they will have less reason to itemize on schedule A.
For my full seminar on deductions - (just kidding!)

I did watch STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS this afternoon, and I was pleased and startled to find that I liked it a lot.....
Then I went to IMDB and read some of the user reviews for THE LAST JEDI.....some SW folks REALLY didn't like it.....
-
Back from doing the recording fixes. An amazing three hours (took ninety minutes longer than I thought it would, some of that attributed to just getting set up and ready. I replaced the one line of dialogue that was screwy and that we needed (that actor went first), and then I rerecorded our Asian fellow's entire solo for Like A Man - and finally got him to have the energy he lacked at that particular performance and it's much better now. And having a superb flute and violin was a jaw-dropper - I literally had no idea just how good Lanny's orchestrations are until today - this will make a glorious CD release.

Good afternoon. I just dropped Wae-Ling and Sandra off at the new Star Wars movie. After I pick them up, it will be time for the party tonight.
I am looking forward to seeing the movie once we return home and I recover from jet lag.

DR Jrand while I am glad you enjoyed the movie I am worried about your fever. Sending healthy vibes your way.

...and the lights are on the Christmas tree!

Watched one DGA screener - very good film called Lady Bird - they're trying very hard to make it this years's "it" movie like last years's La La Land - not sure if they'll succeed but it's lovely and has really terrific performances, two of them Oscar-worthy - Saorise Ronan and Laurie Metcalf.
-
It's literally the director/writer's life on screen, and it just frosts me that I know that Benjamin Kritzer could get exactly this kind of reaction if anyone actually had the guts to make it. There's certainly as much plot, and it's no softer than Lady Bird.
-
I am home from the reading, which was essentially three one-acts based on Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, and a young man's quest. The first and third were the strongest, but I do not think it was ready for public viewing yet. There were some very funny moments, but I think the script needs a lot of tightening.

I came in tonight to find usual signs of catplay while the mouse is away: all the throw rugs askew, DVDs on the floor, pillows on the bed unkempt. What was strange is seeing the toilet seat 3/4 off the toilet. Some kitty's got some 'splainin' to do!

Thatch's eyes are both open this morning, so I hope it mean his conjunctivitis is finally on the way out. I'll know more when its time for his meds. Annabelle's health seems rather good at the moment, and I'm hoping Dr Mohr will confirm that this week.
Good news and continued healing vibes for both of them
~~~DITTO!!~~~

Well, today's going to be a day. I get to sleep in! Hoo and Ray! Then, I'll go to my parents' for our family's weekly family dinner (I don't what we're eating), then I'm working concessions for one of the two different local ballet productions of "The Nutcracker." Tomorrow, I'm actually ushering for the other production. ;D
We had enchiladas for dinner...well, my dad and I had enchiladas. I don't know what my sister and niece had because I had to leave to go to the theater before they ate. Anyway, we played Phase 10 and I won! :D First time in quite a while.
-
The concessions was not without issues, but it all got worked out and I don't remember all the details (and there were a LOT of little details), so I'll just say that it all worked out. Nothing horrible, just a little (actually, very little) personality clash.
;)
-
After the show (which was pretty good, but I didn't watch too much of it because...ballet), my friend Margo and I went to the Fish Tale Brew Pub (https://www.fishbrewing.com/copy-of-fish-tale-brewpub).
-
I'd had their Public House Burger before (it was very good), but tonight I chose their Grilled Chicken Sandwich with garlic fries (with extra garlic)! All very yummy and VERY garlicky! It looked like they poured on a whole jar of minced garlic onto the fries! ;D
-
And then we left to go to our respective homes. I decided to go to the local Albertsons first, though. The aftertase of the garlic is soooo strong, that I REALLY needed to get some kind of mouthwash, and Albertsons is open 24 hours.
-
It turns out that they has some on sale, so I got that and now my breath is minty fresh. I really don't think just brushing my teeth would've been effective enough, and the garlicky aftertaste would've kept me awake, so I got some mouthwash.

I got up around 2:30 to use the bathroom, got back to bed, and had an anxiety attack about the new GOP tax scam bill, which essentially wipes out every one of my possible deductions, and could not get back to sleep for quite some time. Annabelle jumped on me around 7:15 to let me know she was hungry but I stayed in bed and fretted until 8.

Thatch's eyes are both open this morning, so I hope it mean his conjunctivitis is finally on the way out. I'll know more when its time for his meds. Annabelle's health seems rather good at the moment, and I'm hoping Dr Mohr will confirm that this week.
