Well, I hate to do it, but I need to go to sleep.  I'm going in to work today so that I can build up some more extra hours before December 15 so that I can get a paycheck on December 31.  After work, I'll go to my parents' for our weeky family dinner.  My parents' friend Margita (that we've known since I was four years old when we lived in Germany when my dad was in the army) is visiting from Spokane (they've kept in touch all this time), so we'll all visit and probably play Phase 10. 

Have a good day, all!

Maria was old enough to play Mother Superior....and of course she sang my two favorite things: "....the sown dove Music" and ".....lonely go turd....."

Other such things that annoy me are of course "....beauDEE and the beast...." and "...wooden tit be loverly....."

I watched the first 45 minutes of The Sound of Music, but turned it off when the pledge drive nonsense began.  I didn't dislike it, but I loathe those PBS jerks with their false hyped-up enthusiasm for what's being shown and their constant push for the money money money.

The music sounded as though we were getting a lot of the original Robert Russell Bennett orchestrations, and I kept wondering who wrote the extensions of things, like the new endings to "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?" and "Do Re Mi."

DR Elmore, buy an electric blanket, and I'll bet Annabelle will sleep with you.

She comes and goes during the night, depending on her whims and finding a new bed.  This week it's been my bed, the cat tree, the paper recycling bag, my computer chair cushion, and her Fancy Feast carton.

T.O.D,

We were living in Agoura, CA in 1970 during that Malibu fire.

We had to evacuate in 2 cars.  My wife, at the time, got into an accident, and she and two of my step kids had to abandon the car and run through flames to escape.  Luckily, I had my son, David, with me.  (It was also his first birthday.)

I took David, his grandmother, my stepdaughter and our cat to my cousin's place in Westwood.  We didn't know that the rest of the family was okay for several hours.

I am thankful that David is now living here in Austin.

Didn’t watch THE SOWN last night, but I DVR’d it to enjoy when I can FF through the pledge breaks.

The orchestrations are always of interest, and I’m thinking the NBC production here used the film ones?
Title: Re: THE FIRST TECH REHEARSAL
Post by: ChasSmith on November 10, 2018, 07:02:35 AM
I remember seeing many “spectacular” fires around the rim of the Valley and elsewhere, but I never lived in an area that was subject to evacuation. It’s a horrifying thing to consider.

This is probably a dumb question, since one can surely look it up (I will later), but is there a setting on Facebook for turning OFF “events”? Or rather, for turning off everyone else’s apparent ability to set “events” for ME?

I thought yesterday was an important date that slipped past me because of the apartment tsuris, and other madness in my life. 

I remembered Nov. 9 as the anniversary of Thatch's moving into 202 West 82nd Street, and I was wrong.  I went back to the HHW posts from last November, and I carted him home from Dykeman Street on the evening of Nov. 8.  He's now 14 months old and one of the two greatest loves of my life.

Speaking of Facebook, because I had the nerve to refer to Sarah Huckabee Sanders as a "lying white trash cow," after this Acosta video adjustment the White House is sending out as propaganda, I have been banned for 30 days.  If I'd known that was going to happen, I'd have called her a "white trash lying c**t."

I liked Marnie. I want to see it again sometime, but on a proper broadcast or Blu-ray. The Fathom quality leaves much to be desired.

Tomorrow morning I will strip my bed, launder everything, and drag out my Grandmother's quilt and the comforter.

Well, it's time for me to leave work.  I'm going to my parents' for dinner, even though my supervisor bought pizza for us today.  I'm sure that I'll have something else to eat when I get there. ;)

Be back later.

Last night we went to a Thai restaurant with neighbors/friends.  The food was ok and my Mai Tai was very strange, some sort of crushed ice fruit drink that did not taste or look like a Mai Tai.  I had a sugar high which I am blaming, along with the dark booth, for leaving my purse there and having to return for it.  I did not feel, or taste, the alcohol at all.

Tonight we went to Beaches on our own.  I suppose Beaches is like the Roadhouse for DR Vixmom where everyone knows your name.

Keith likes a rye Manhattan but complains it is better at their other restaurant down the road owned by the same person.  We eat at Beaches because we prefer the food and the staff.

Tonight the manager on duty asked the bar manager to duplicate the rye Manhattan over at the other restaurant.  Not only did the bar manager do so but he got one of the good dark red cherries, vs the light maraschino, from the other restaurant for the drink.  The Manhattan was delicious.  Now we know to ask the manager to make them for us.  Normally I order a straight Woodford Reserve bourbon or a Glenlivet scotch but the next time the manager is there I will order this Manhattan that I kept drinking.  Normally, especially if he is driving, Keith only has one drink.  Since this was an additional drink from the bar for him to try he had some and I had more :)  Still we did not finish it.

It is very impressive they made the extra effort to find something special for us.  It is not the first time, however, it is the most successful time.

I should have been home by five, but alas when I went to leave our long day my car battery was kaput and my front tire was also really low.  So, I called the AAA - ninety minutes I was told and ninety damn minutes it was.  Thankfully, my sound guys waited but being outside with all the smoke and ash in the air has killed my voice and it was cold, too.  Once the guy got there he ascertained the battery was completely dead - and said it was probably because I left something on, but I didn't.  But then I remembered when I locked the car with the fob it didn't do the usual beep.  That's happened a few times here at home and I've had to go back in, start the car, turn it off, and then lock it again, at which point I'd get the beep and the interior lights would go off as they're supposed to.  So, I'm guessing because it didn't beep that the interior lights stayed on and that certainly would do it.  So, I was just robbed of two full hours that I desperately needed for eating and relaxing AND I have to keep the car running for an hour and that's another thirty minutes now.  So when that time is up I have to go get something to eat because I haven't eaten all day, and I need to put gas in the car, so I'm probably not able to rest until eight, and I have to go to bed right after I post the notes, because I have to be at the studio by nine-fifteen or so.  I cannot tell you how annoying all this is.  We only did one fun-through today and it was only semi fun because everyone is still getting used to costumes and quick changes and stuff.  A few missed sound cues and a couple of missed light cues otherwise it ran VERY smoothly.  After, I worked on a few things for specifics, added a blackout after the finale, so everyone could get in place for the curtain call, and that was that.  And then the merde I did not need.

That's too bad about your car battery, BK, but good news about the otherwise VERY smooth semi-fun-through!
