Well, you've read the notes, the notes were notes to make out by, and now it is time for you to post until the music to make out by cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: RECIPROCAL!
-
First post after BK.
-
Today, I plan on ketchuping on my TV watching. Otherwise, I might venture out just for the sake of getting out of the house. We'll see.
-
But now, to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I had planned to sleep in after I fed the kitties, but once I was up and the cats were fed, I decided to get dressed and get on with the day.
-
I'm not feeling any indications that Gurjeet;s work on the muscles od my left thigh accomplished anything, but I will do my exercises in a bit abd drag out the heating pad.

DR Jeanne, I ordered magnesium from Amazon. Thanks for the tip.

WOMAN IN HIDING was sent to me for review. I'd never seen it before. Good movie.
WOMAN IN HIDING surprised me.
Even though this taut thriller was released almost seventy years ago in 1950, it had many twists in its plot that were totally unexpected.
And, I’ve seen a lot of thrillers.
Ida Lupino, superb as always, plays the daughter of a wealthy manufacturer (John Litel), who died suddenly is a work accident. Awhile after that, she married the plant foreman (Stephen McNally) and, on her wedding day, discovers that he, in fact, had murdered her father for business reasons.
After surviving an attempt on her own life, Ida disappears, moving to another town and changing her name. She meets an ex-GI (Howard Duff) who, thinking she might be having mental issues, informs her husband of her whereabouts, hoping to claim an offered reward. McNally now comes to get his wife to insure her silence.
Michel Gordon directed the well-crafted screenplay by Oscar Saul.
Duff, who was married to Ms. Lupino for many years, and McNally are quite effective in their roles, as is Peggy Dow, making her screen debut as McNally’s former girl friend.
The quality of the Blu-ray disc from Kino Lorber is excellent. Film historian Kat Ellinger provides audio commentary on the disc.
If you enjoy movies of suspense, you will like WOMAN IN HIDING.

I have no real plans for the day, so I will most likely work on the Babes in Toyland editorial notes for a bit, and try to print a legible copy of a nearly indecipherable photocopy.

Kitty cleanup accomplished. 2nd cuppa coffee, and I'm ready to make the bed and lie in it.

T.O.D.
I can't think of a musical that I didn't like so much that I walked out on it, but back in the late 1960s/early 1970s when we had an annual subscription to the Ahmanson Theater, there were plays that we walked out on during intermission.
One of them was Eugene O'Neill's MORE STATELY MANSIONS with Ingrid Bergman, Arthur Hill and Coleen Dewhurst. BORING.
CORRECTION: We did walk out on ROSALINDA, a musical at the Music Center. I think Cyril Richard was in it, but I'm not sure.

TOD
Musical:
Ka-Boom: dreadful, pathetic musical about the end of the world
Raggedy Ann: so misguided; children's musical with Doctor Death and henchmen trying to kill Raggedy Ann's owner, a little girl needing a new heart; when the terrified kid in the audience screamed "Get me outa here!" after the werewolf came to the apron to howl at the moon, I thought, kid, you speak for all of us. The rock bottom moment was a group of sexy bat women trying to seduce and depants Raggedy Andy.
Carrie: poor Stephen King! a complete embarrassment
Play:
Voices in the Dark: an unthrilling thriller

Good morning, all.

Love Ida Lupino. I’ll look for this.

TOD:
Musical: I think it was called Hood. It was an unfunny, unmusical version of Robin Hood that made Raggedy Ann seem like a classic.
Play: Dracula’s Daughter. Actor’s Thester of Louisville staged a horror play every October. Even at age 10, I knew this was a turkey. Dreckula was more like it.

Work continues apace DR ELMORE.
Of course after your posts I have been singing The Tylenol, The Tizandine, and the Santa Fe....
-
Sad business news DR GINNY.....it has happened in my area as well.....very few original owner businesses are now open.....
-
I shall have to think about the TOD.
I know one year at the Louisville Theatre....new plays....there was a thing about the man who carved Mount Rushmore and it was physicalized by the stacking of kitchen chairs.....I have blotted the name of it from my mind.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Good morning
-
This morning I was awoken around 8:30 am by the sound of lawn mowers and leaf blowers from the properties south and north of me
-
I thought how irritated BK would be
-
TOD
This is mostly blotted from my mind, too, but something called Macbeth 2000 accompanied by a couple of guitars and drums.
-
Hereabouts it’s just a normal Saturday morning wake up call
-
I didn’t see it in person, but I saw a video of David Hasselhoff ( however you spell it) in Jekyll and Hyde. Not only was he awful but the show....eeeew.
-
One lyric that particularly stood out was the chorus singing
“It’s another murder, just like that other murder”
-
Not a bad play, but a DC production of "Macbeth" that was completely in the nude was so strange. But no ability to leave early, because there was no easy way to leave quietly - there were no cabs to be hailed, and car service had to be called to get back to the subway system.
The play was quite well-written of course, and (the joke went) they were doing the uncut version.
-
Such a strange story in an article I ran across, that Andrew McCarthy is seriously being considered to be a new James Bond. It's just odd that as a choice which they say is to be the first American James Bond, he's be the name they'd go with. It made me wonder if it came from his own publicity folks trying to float the idea.
-
This mornings breakfast was an omelette
-
He is someone who could certainly act the part, certainly look the part though on the older side, as he's mid-50s -but maybe they want someone who while still known is not so super-famous.
-
The filling was sautéed tomatoes, peppers, onions and mushrooms and a slice of Swiss cheese.
-
And a nice pot of hot tea
-
The tea wasn’t actually in the omelette, it was served separately

I don't think Bond should be an American & I don't think he should be a woman.

DR Jeanne, I ordered magnesium from Amazon. Thanks for the tip.
Magnesium can also act as a laxative. I suggest starting at half or two thirds the dosage and giving your stomach time to get used to it.

Saturday afternoon greetings! I've been out in the pouring rain to a garage sale of craft supplies, where I mentioned that my next stop was our Holiday Bazaar venue to unload the donations in my car. The crafty lady gathered up all the unopened wrapping supplies they had, including holographic tissue paper, and contributed it to the Bazaar. Home now having a warming cup of coffee.
-
Jane- did I miss this - is there talk of Bond being a woman?
-
I'm sure I could google that, but it wouldn't add to the day's post total. :)
-
Stella, Thatch, and Annabelle napped while I listened to Marc Blitzstein's opera Regina, which I've come to love. Now I will lie down with the heating pad. I'm sure Thatch will join me.

This morning we went with our upstairs dog, Salty, and his people to Barfest at Beaches. It is an annual Halloween breakfast they have to raise money for the animal shelter. This year it was not well advertised and there were fewer people & dogs. It was still fun. The dogs, unlike last year, were also not permitted to sit in certain areas of the restaurant.
-
The Vancouver health department has been making more regulations regarding dogs in restaurants. The owner even had to take out a license so dogs can sit in the outside patio area >:(
-
After awarding the winning 3 dogs their prizes they said we should all cross our fingers that the health department will let them have the breakfast & dog parade next year.
-
All the dogs were well behaved and it was fun for the dogs & people and all for a good cause.

And the Japanese version was bad enough. Every time, Shogun MacBeth said the added line "Nyuk, nyuk," he sounded more like a Stooge than a warlord.
-
Just finishing up He Got Game. The ending is more intense than I remember it being. Superb movie.
-
I'm now off to make some potato salad for a Halloween potluck tonight.
-
I don't think I ever saw He's Got Game....
-
DR GINNY is this your first winter with your new car - or am I a year behind.
I think this is also DR VIXMOM's first winter with a new car....or is that VIXDAD.
And this is MR BK's first winter with a new car .... engine.
-
The uncut version.......hahahahahaha.....I shall have to remember that for use at one time or another.
-
I shall be on my way to the commencement in about ten minutes....I have practiced and rehearsed my speech and I have done THE ROSE about ten times....twice in my grad robe....so that's as prepared as I can get....
I'm sure there will be photos.

Watching Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood.

Potato salad made. New recipe. The dressing is mustard, sour cream and relish. It's also got red bell pepper, celery, red onion, cucumber, green onion and hard-cooked egg.

I think it needs to sit for awhile. It's dill relish, not sweet relish, so I do like that.
-
I thought it might, still how do you resist a taste ;)
-

Dunno. I can't eat anything with non-Greek yogurt in it. Makes me want to regurgitate. I was surprised I could eat yogurt in Greece this time, at least yogurt that wasn't make with sheep's milk. It also had to be full fat.
-
This movie of Scotty Bowers is strange. It's part Grey Gardens. There's a scene of skunks eating a birthday cake that is beyond strange.

I tasted it and liked it. If you left out the relish, you would probably need to add an herb that you liked, because in this case, the dill helps. Fresh parsley or dried thyme might be nice. I want more salt.

I picked the remaining six figs today. Very nice.

I am confused as the recipe said sour cream, not yogurt. As for yogurt, I do better with goat milk yogurt.

Did you eat them all?

PBS is replacing Midsomer Murders (sob!) with The Bletchley Circle. I hope I like it.
-
My biopsy results arrived on the dermatologists "my chart" page last night. I do not have to return as they were benign :)
-
I'm, going to close up shop, turn off the computer, read a bit, and then watch TV with the cats.

Just finished Scotty. There are some very moving scenes, such as Scotty's wife singing "My Buddy." It's as good as BK said.
-
I voted today. We had a bunch of odd resolutions on the ballot, including one that sounded like a cryptofascist method of preserving Confederate memorials.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
I'm up, I'm up - was up at eight-thirty and out by nine.
-
Had a light breakfast, then went to Amoeba and killed time looking around. Fortunately, no one saw me kill time so I think I got away with it.
-
Thank you, Druxy, for the review of WOMAN IN HIDING. It sounds like an excellent film. Unfortunately, Netflix doesn't have it, but I'll keep an eye out for it.
-
I called to see if there were packages - there weren't. One did arrive after that, but I'm too tired to go retrieve it - tomorrow.
-
Once back here, I wrote the blurb for The Creature release.
-
Listened to music, dozed off for twenty minutes.

Holographic tissue paper. That is something I'd never heard of. But very nice of the lady to make the donations.
-
Wait, I know - I'll write this post like Druxy.
I went and got some pizza slices.
I ate them.
They were surprising and I've eaten a lot of pizza slices.
The slices were very good, excellent even.
If you like pizza slices, I think you'll enjoy them.
And my latest one-person play is available now in the Hollywood Legends Series - Mr. Frank Thring.
:)
-
I did get pizza slices and I did eat them. I was going to just look at them, but the mouth got the better of me.
-
My mouth often gets the better of me.

I gotta tell you.

It sounds like a fun event. But I do understand the need for some regulations. A while back people would bring their dogs with them when they were grocery shopping. I don't think that's a good idea. I can understand having certain areas where the dogs are not allowed.

I LOVE BLETCHLEY CIRCLE. Especially the original, set in the UK. I'd like to see a third season.
-
Good news from Jane on her biopsies. I need to have more spraying done myself.
-
I should clarify a comment I made the other day re DOWNTON ABBEY, the movie. Amazon says that the DVD is a bestseller, even though the DVD hasn't been released yet. I imagine that is based on the number of people who have preordered.
-
DR GINNY is this your first winter with your new car - or am I a year behind.
I think this is also DR VIXMOM's first winter with a new car....or is that VIXDAD.
And this is MR BK's first winter with a new car .... engine.
Vixdad’s car is a year old and mine is 10...however it will be my first winter with my new washer,
Although I have no immediate plans to take it outside

No matter how much it begs

TTFN.

Any in the world would they do it in the nude? I can’t think it would have improved the show in any way

Well, service dogs are permitted and the dogs are not near the kitchen. What bothers me the most are the regulations on patios. We have eaten outside on patios dirtier than our dogs, with birds crapping everywhere, and even rats popping their heads up. Yet, the restaurant owners were breaking the law letting us sit there with our dog.

As would we. I suppose that is a long shot now that it has moved to San Francisco. I need to ask if we get this yet now that we have Comcast again.

I don’t understand the love of confederate memorials or displaying the confederate flag especially by people who are simultaneously claiming to be “true American patriots”. Why would we commentate and celebrate an attempt to destroy the United States and the deaths of so many?
-
When we were visiting in Alexandria we discovered that was an especially dog friendly city. so many of the restaurants had outside eating and dog dishes available.
It’s great when the dogs are well behaved and stay with their owners but I had to ask to move tables to get away from a black lab that kept crawling under my seat and licking my ankles
-
LOL.
-
Sorry for laughing. The dog should not have been permitted to do that. Did the owners know?
-
Every dog today was well behaved and got along with both the other dogs and people. There were a few barks but that was it.
-
We are waiting for Comcast to come & set up our tv.
-
We still don't get BritBox which means we still can't watch the new Bletchley Circle series.
-
PBS is replacing Midsomer Murders (sob!) with The Bletchley Circle. I hope I like it.
PBS, is this the original series?
-
Sorry for laughing. The dog should not have been permitted to do that. Did the owners know?
The wife thought it was “sweet”, the husband thought I “must taste good”
I thought it was disgusting
-
Inappropriate and you should have said so.
-
I would have. It is especially important that dogs out behave correctly so people with good dogs can take them places.
-
And before you think I’m a dog hater, I do not want a dog I do not have a relationship with licking me.
I wouldn’t have wanted the husband (or the wife) to kiss me either
-
Inappropriate and you should have said so.
I did that’s when I discovered the owners’ opinions.
-
I went to the ladies room and washed my ankles while the waiter found me another table on the other side of the porch
-
I don't think you are a dog hater and not all dog lovers want dogs licking them. Boundaries are important out of consideration for other people.
-
Inappropriate and you should have said so.
I did that’s when I discovered the owners’ opinions.
Very good.
-
I went to the ladies room and washed my ankles while the waiter found me another table on the other side of the porch
And that too was appropriate.

The Comcast guy turned off the interest for a little while. Keith did not inform me it was about to happen. I told him I was in the middle of a conversation & one second away from posting.

That's very strange. I'd assume that his people spread the rumor. ::)
-
And he's a'most 57 years old. When recasting roles, the new actors tend to be younger than the previous actors. :-\
-
Hi, Jane! Look what arrived!
Yay. It is from Diagon Alley aka Shambles Street. Did we guess correctly that you are a fan?
-
He is someone who could certainly act the part, certainly look the part though on the older side, as he's mid-50s -but maybe they want someone who while still known is not so super-famous.
Ditto. ;)

That reminds me that just yesterday my copy arrived from the library, so I'll watch that now.

I did two loads today.

I should mention the staff working the Barkfest volunteered to be there and had fun working it 😊

Great news, Jane!

Thanks George.

From the (quasi-)sublime to the ridiculous...Taylor Swift and Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote an all-new song for the ‘Cats’ remake. (https://www.deseret.com/2019/10/25/20932427/taylor-swift-andrew-lloyd-webber-new-song-cats-remake-listen-beautiful-ghosts) ::)

I don't. In fact, watching them being destroyed would please me more than I can say. Seriously. My dad has been a lifelong lover of the Confederate cause (credit his Alabama upbringing). I always felt I was in the wrong house. I have never felt any connection with the South. I have always thought they were traitors. Maybe I just didn't like being dragged to Confederate monuments as a kid.

I'm watching an interesting Dutch documentary now called Buddy. It's about disabled people's relations with their dogs and how the animals are able to help them. The people vary in age from a kid with a host of conditions from autism to epilepsy whose dog gives him unconditional love to an Afghanistan vet whose dog helps with his PTSD as well as his wounds. The dogs are amazing, and the love is genuine. And they don't lick strange people under the table.

Dancing was fun tonight. Halloween party. I went as a chef, same as I do every year. It's the one costume I own.

Lots of swing and cha-cha. Plenty of people. I'm tired.

Six!

This 57-year-old understands the context, but I still take some objection. (Insert senile, 57-year-old face here.)

Finished with my viewing. First DGA screener of the year - Us. I liked it. I know some critics fell all over themselves about it, although most thought it didn't quite work, but I remember reading how annoyed viewers were with it.

I liked it. Not the greatest movie, but an honestly creepy horror movie. The voices were especially effective.

My library has that...14 copies and only 2 holds. Well, 3 now.

Watching Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood.
That reminds me that just yesterday my copy arrived from the library, so I'll watch that now.
Well, I didn't start it right then, but I did watch it and I just finished it.
-
It was quite interesting, as was Scotty himself.
-
Now, I'm watching The Big Lebowski...for the first time ever.

I voted today. We had a bunch of odd resolutions on the ballot, including one that sounded like a cryptofascist method of preserving Confederate memorials.
Hmmm. I do hate to see them destroyed.
I don’t understand the love of confederate memorials or displaying the confederate flag especially by people who are simultaneously claiming to be “true American patriots”. Why would we commentate and celebrate an attempt to destroy the United States and the deaths of so many?
Exactly!
They are still part of our history and I think they can be used to educate. I don't have a problem with moving them.

I don't. In fact, watching them being destroyed would please me more than I can say. Seriously. My dad has been a lifelong lover of the Confederate cause (credit his Alabama upbringing). I always felt I was in the wrong house. I have never felt any connection with the South. I have always thought they were traitors. Maybe I just didn't like being dragged to Confederate monuments as a kid.
That would have been uncomfortable. I also have no clue how many there are. I am guessing far more than I would care to save ;D

Oh, and I never said to celebrate them.

And he's a'most 57 years old. When recasting roles, the new actors tend to be younger than the previous actors. :-\
I also thought he was a bit on the old side.
This 57-year-old understands the context, but I still take some objection. (Insert senile, 57-year-old face here.)
;D Old if he is going to do more than one Bond film.
-
Tonight we watched DEADWOOD: THE MOVIE.
-
Sean Connery was 32 when he first played Bond.
-
He was 52 in NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN.
-
Daniel Craig is 51. Has he said he just filmed his last Bond movie?
-
Good evening.
-
Hi Tom. Seeing you reminded me to wish a happy 40th birthday to former DR Jed.
-
Page six! Nice work everyone.
-
I picked the remaining six figs today. Very nice.
I thought John picked the remaining six flags.
-
Hi, Tom.
-
I have nothing to say about anything.
-
Good night.
-
Okay. Good night, Tom.
