No matter what I do, I cannot get the current roach problem in hand.  It's my own fault.  I wouldn't let an exterminator in because I worried about the poison he indiscriminately splashes about hurting the cats.  So, today is another roach attack.

Well, I think Stella's got only about three lives left.  This morning as I prepared the kitty cleanup in the kitchen I heard a thud, followed by my iTunes shutting down at about the 10th-20th bar of a Bach Advent cantata I had just begun.
Title: Re: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO - ME
Post by: elmore3003 on December 08, 2019, 05:24:15 AM
I came into the living area to find everything connected to the power cable - including the computer, printer, and work light - were dead.  Sure enough, Stella's climbing had sent a book of music over the back of a filing cabinet and the fall had dislodged the power cable's plug from the wall socket.
Title: Re: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO - ME
Post by: elmore3003 on December 08, 2019, 05:26:40 AM
I looked about: Thatch was in the cat tree, Annabelle was sleeping on the chair by my work table, and Stella was casually walking from behind the book cases next to the computer and ready to play.  I called her some choice words, and went off to do kitty cleanup,  I needed to calm down before moving all the crap I needed to move to reach the wall socket behind the filing cabinet.
Title: Re: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO - ME
Post by: elmore3003 on December 08, 2019, 05:28:15 AM
Kitty cleanup accomplished, I got the dustbuster, a flashlight, and repaired the damage.  Stella of course wanted to help.  I suggested she run for her life.

Last night we all watched the 2013(?) PBS broadcast of the New York City Ballet's production of The Nutcracker, which remains my favorite staging of the ballet.  Balanchine is a genius choreographer who really uses the music in his steps and whose handling and direction of the parents and children in the Act One party verges on pure genius.  When the piece was first staged in 1954, Balanchine asked Jerome Robbins for help, and Robbins staged the battle between the mice and the toys, which is very funny, and which reminds me of his work on Mary Martin's Peter Pan.

This is highly unusual, but we escaped Second Night Syndrome on this show. The preview had reached such heights that I’d be tempted to identify our official opening night as Second Night, but it really wasn’t. And last night the jernt was firing on all cylinders. It was a Saturday Blessing.

I’ll be concerned about Second Weekend Syndrome. That Second Friday can be deadly, but at this theater we’ll at least have had our First Thursday Brush-Up which is a “pay what you want” performance. So there’s that.

Wasn't it in some sitcom, two women on the phone. 

I'm trying to decide whether to go back to bed.
Well, that depends, dear.  Is anyone there with you?

The Vamp segments seem to be on YouTube with the sings broken out and the sketches separately.

The musical intro to the "Streetcar" segment at 1:12 here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_sS8-S1A2o

is really smart. 

This seems terrific.

It's been too energetic a day: poisoning roaches and moving furniture, carrying cartons of cat food from the lobby and climbing a ladder to put them away, carting things to the basement, chasing Stella down a flight of stairs and bringing her home.  I really ache.  Around 6:00 I am taking a long hot bath.

I recall reading about a woman who kept birds. She needed to clean the cages, but didn't want to harm the birds. Her solution was grapefruit seed extract (liquid form), which is good at killing fungus. That probably won't help with the roaches, but there must be something that would.

The boric acid powder didn't help or you weren't sure about using it around the cats?

Back from a very good matinee with a nice, appreciative crowd (including Scott Bakula, director Don Petrie, and several other fun folks).  After, the cast threw me a little party backstage with Dino's Pizza and a fun birthday cake with my Squigs caricature on it, provided by dear reader Leslie.  It was fun and much appreciated by the likes of me.  They had seven candles in one row and two in another and I made a wish and miraculously got all nine candles blown out.  So, if the wish comes true I'll be very happy.

Months ago I saw an ad on FB for a shirt I thought was cute.  Keith surprised me with a navy blue hoodie sweatshirt yesterday.

The rabbit is reading Warren Peace which is more visible on this shirt than on mine..

That is a cute shirt, Jane. :)

Tonight, I have a production meeting for Equivocation at Olympia Little Theatre.  I'll be running sound for it.  Their current production is Miss Bennet, Christmas at Pemberly (http://www.olympialittletheater.org/shows/missbennet/) and I know several people in the cast.  The meeting is at the theater after the show, but I won't see the show today.  I'll wait until I know I'm over my coughing fits.

George, Boiron's Chestal WITH HONEY really, really helps.

Thanks, Jeanne.  I'll look for that.

Sunday evening greetings!  I went on a field trip today with some DAR friends.  We went to the Christian Waldschmidt Homestead, which is on the Little Miami River in greater Cincinnati.  It’s a stone house that was built in 1804 and is owned and was restored by Ohio DAR.  Here we are in front of the fireplace in the portion of the house in which Waldschmidt conducted his business:

Back from a very good matinee with a nice, appreciative crowd (including Scott Bakula, director Don Petrie, and several other fun folks).  After, the cast threw me a little party backstage with Dino's Pizza and a fun birthday cake with my Squigs caricature on it, provided by dear reader Leslie.  It was fun and much appreciated by the likes of me.  They had seven candles in one row and two in another and I made a wish and miraculously got all nine candles blown out.  So, if the wish comes true I'll be very happy.

Very nice, BK.

I loved him in those early Altman movies, including Images and McCabe and Mrs. Miller. Plus, he had that great, nasty tune in Coco, "Fiasco," which earned him a Tony.

I woke up and make a couple of tarts to take out today. First was to the annual cookie exchange. I dragged along my friend Gail, which proved to be a good move. We got caught up on her recent transatlantic cruise from Barcelona to Tampa.

I won a snowman ornament for bringing the tastiest cookie. And since it's the cookie I make every year, I was surprised when someone told me she was glad I brought them. She liked them so much last year that she tried to figure out how to make them. But hers weren't as good.

Finished with my viewing.  Was going to watch something else, but I think I'll save that for tomorrow.

Then we went off to party No. 2, a Christmas party with a Jimmy Buffett tribute band, wine galore and an open bar. The food was spectacular. It was great to run into a few people I don't see except at this party.

Gail and I sat out in the backyard and watched the sun set. It wasn't spectacular, but the colors were memorable, including a gorgeous purple light after the sun had set.

I wonder if sitting outside will cause an allergy attack. (Don't care at this point.)

Then it was off to a dance party at the home of my 1% friends. They are really nice people to open their home to the lot of us. Of course someone spilled a drink on the dance floor and it went into the hostess's shoes. Not cool. I joked about saying someone wanted to drink Champagne out of them. That didn't fly.

I always remember when Star Trek: Deep Space Nine started, I remembered him from 'Benson,' but more from the Broadway cast album of Big River.  I love that recording.
