Well, you've read the notes, the notes said to banish the sour and bring on the sweet, and now it is time for you to post until the banished cows come home.

After an interesting tour we are anxious to get out of the bus and back to the ship. Thank goodness the tour guide stopped talking. An hour of listening to him during the drive back in the dark would have been too much.

Annabelle refused breakfast, so Thatch ate hers as well.  Just as I thought we needed to see Dr. Mohr today, I caught her her eating dry Temptations treats.  I guess she didn't feel like turkey and giblets this morning.

We are back on the ship relaxing in the bar instead of eating dinner  I should have had a bigger lunch.  We are munching on pretzels, a Chex mix, and mixed nuts.  Since the nuts have both hazel nuts and Brazil nuts I decided I should eat them.

T.O.D.

I do enjoy THE BONE COLLECTOR...even if "the reveal" is a bit of a letdown.

Washington is a fine actor, but most of his films seem to "run together".  They're like popcorn.  I enjoy them while I am watching them, but a week later, I can't recall what they are about.

In all fairness, I can say that about most films these days.

The reason I wanted to go on this trip was to see Ha Long Bay.  We have been told tomorrow it might be too foggy to see anything.

Please, fingers crossed and all good things it will be clear enough to enjoy this spectacular place.  We only have one chance to see it.

It is rare we don't enjoy a movie with Denzel Washington, even when the film is just ok.

My favorite is probably Malcolm X

TOD:

Malcolm X
Mo Better Blues
The Mighty Quinn
Fences
He Got Game
Inside Man

He should stay away from remakes. His versions of Manchurian Candidate and Taking of Pelham 123 are dreadful.

I've thought Denzel Washington was great in anything I've seen him in, but a lot of the films for some reason aren't among those that stick in my mind.

MALCOM X, yes, definitely, and I was thinking about that one recently. I'm ready to watch it again.

I did catch THE BONE COLLECTOR once on cable, and liked it, but I have now totally forgotten the "reveal". I remember seeing GLORY way back when, but have forgotten much of that, too. I managed to skip both the MANCHURIAN and PELHAM remakes, even though I'd intended to see each of them just for the pure hell of it.

Now, looking over his filmography, I am stunned, stunned, to see that he was Dr. Chandler in ST. ELSEWHERE. How did I never remember that?

Those 1990s serial killer movies always grabbed me, for better or worse. Does anyone know one called RESURRECTION, also from 1999? I only remember a couple of moments from it, and it probably wasn't even very good or well known, but I thought it was suitably creepy.

And just so you know....

What you need at the outset of the week is the skills of a mathematician. If you're not a mathematician, just work extra hard to be logical and reasonable when dealing with whatever comes your way. Emotional investment isn't paying off at this juncture. That said, be as warm as possible when communicating with others. Thursday and Friday, largely because you're giving off good vibes, a family event you've been dreading turns out to be a blast. On Saturday and Sunday, rely on your flexibility and organizational prowess to get everything done.

I've hardly seen any Denzel Washington films, which is odd. His stuff just doesn't come up much on cable TV. The only movies of his I've ever seen are:
Philadelphia
The Pelican Brief
Cry Freedom
License to Kill

I thought he was very good in all of them.

They didn’t know what to do with him on St. Elsewhere. They sort of paired him off with Alfre Woodard, and that was great chemistry.

Anyone have an opinion, yea or nay, regarding Seth Rudetsky's Disaster!?

I'll listen to it later. I've been asked to play in a two-week run up here in June. I've got nothing against 70s disaster flicks, but as I understand it, he cobbled together a jukebox musical, not a show score -- and that right there is enough to put me to sleep as I type this.

Maybe it's better than I'm thinking. Maybe it's worse. At least it's a time of year when I rarely have anything else going on, and it should take little effort.

I need a dish for a potluck that I can take to work beforehand and not have to heat or assemble.

I was thinking of a tomatillo-avocado salsa that people seem to like with some chips. It's easy.

Finally finished with rehearsal - so long, but kids are fun.  The youngest kid, which I knew was a crapshoot as she hadn't really done anything, but comes from a very well-known parent, just was too intimidated and it was clear it wasn't going to work but I let that decision be hers.  So, I can lose her solo but have to have someone fill in for the duet.

Could someone call Jane ship-to-shore to the ship?

Or Laura in Arizona?
Title: Re: BANISH THE SOUR, BRING ON THE SWEET
Post by: TCB on January 07, 2019, 11:21:23 PM
Actually if you call and wake up Laura’s grandbaby, I am sure it could have the same effect.

And I had a wonderful call from Muse Margaret, who loved every bit of the eighty-seven pages she read.  She had a few typo fixes and she wanted me to elaborate on one thing because she didn't know what thing thing I was talking about was - good point, and it's easy to add the little paragraph to explain it.  But I could not have been happier with her report.

Great news, BK!

Don’t call vixmom, she is probably busy binging on DEXTER.

I'm just not used to hearing Sondheim performed with all those southern accents. ::)
