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

And the word of the day is: PRODIGIOUS!

BK, reading about your Rite Aid ice cream counter being closed reminded me that I went to Costco on Sunday to have a roll of photographic film developed and to have pictures printed from another roll of already developed film. However when I got there, I saw that their film and photography department will be closed until pretty much everything's back to normal. :P
-
Today, I'll go into work and continue paying invoices. That's my plan for the day.
-
But first, sleep.
Have a good day, all!

I found this hilarious, and yet the horror at what he finds in the guy's apartment at 1:37 actually made me jump, I guess because of the music cue.
Here's the title with what the discovery is at 1:37 - and then it gets worse and worse as he discovers the clues around the apartment. :)
"When You Find Out He's A Trump Supporter"

Good morning, all!
-
Mirabile dictu! I received my stimulus payment along with my Social Security deposit this morning.
-
I slept rather well. Around 4:00 Annabelle climbed down from her bookcase aerie to crawl under the covers with me, and Stella decided to walk over me as she lopoked for a nice place to settle.
-
Yesterday afternoon UPS delivered from Petco a nice large carton containing 60 cans of Fancy Feast for my three little kittens. It was a gift from my fifth floor lesbian neighbors whose little dog Nora died from cancer. They are currently in exile in Boston, and the gift was greatly appreciated.
-
DR JohnG, I was at the Met premiere of Mahagonny in 1979. It was quite an exciting evening, and its anti-capitalist projections really pissed off a lot of gray-haired audience who walked out in droves in Act Three. That Met broadcast made it to DVD, but I see it's no longer in print.
-
BK, I have not seen that Mahagonny with McDonald and Lupone, but it's first strike against it for me is the over-rated John Doyle, who is to direction what Donald Trump is to politics. I've heard that the Kurt Weill Foundation hates that production.
-
From BK's notes: "My sanity is on the wane. "
I went to school with Wayne.
-
Speaking of DVDs, my current Netflix discs, which were mailed to me on April 7, have not yet arrived. Usually they arrive a day after mailing.
-
There were open bathrooms in the dorms, and instead of wearing a towel or pants while shaving like most people did, Wayne didn't ... and -

and -
there's no more to the story. m by the third time one encountered it, it was no more inflammatory than looking at wallpaper.

Thanks, George, for the plateau mention!
It feel like reincarnation

Did I post this here yet. I know I posted it on castrecl and Facebook, but it adds post even if I've posted it here before (and maybe add a few views for me)

Kitty cleanup is over, bed made, and I'm on my second cuppa. I need to mail several payments, so I'll stop at the corner market for a few items.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I have had intermittent problems connecting to the site this morning.
-
According to my bank account, I have yet to be stimulated.
-
TCB, I think you should play Annie. It would be the kind of stretch you need.
-
I don’t think I am being stimulated.
-
Today would have been tax day.
-
I have had intermittent problems connecting to the site this morning.
I did, too, around 7:30 EST.

Oh, show us the way to the next whiskey bar. Oh, don’t ask why.

Would a magician with many bookings be a PRODIGIOUS prestidigitator?
-
When they describe restaurants as they will be, on CNN they just had Gavin Newsom mention among other things that they'd be using "disposable menus."
The other stuff sounds tough, but "disposable menus" - It sound serious, ut this has got to just mean the menus will be printed on regular normal paper, right?
-
TCB, I think you should play Annie. It would be the kind of stretch you need.
With many dates I can't remember without looking back on the net or documentation, I recall that "Annie Hall" the movie and "Annie" on Broadway opened within a day or two of each other. (or maybe even the same day?)
Does the net say somewhere what day movies opened in 1977? (pre-internet)
-
Would a magician with many bookings be a PRODIGIOUS prestidigitator?
Reminder of now-non-PC joke "a nervous titter went through the crowd" and the person made believe he/she was using their hands being a nervous titter going through the crowd.
-
Annie the movie opened in the Reagan era. All of the political elements of the show had been cut out. It’s why you still hear outrage from some quarters when the original is staged in community theaters. People don’t realize the show was a reaction to Watergate.
-
I've always liked SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER.
Thought is was an excellent film, particularly Taylor and Hepburn.
In fact, back when I was living in Seattle (about 1962--1963), I directed a production of the play at the Woman's Century Club. My late future first wife (and mother of my son) played the Elizabeth Taylor role. She was excellent.

Very envious of DR Elmore being at that premiere. I was in L.A. capturing the telecast on a friend's brand new and very primitive VCR, the first any of us had. I have memories of that copy not being very good, or maybe it was bad reception of the broadcast. At any rate, the tape didn't last very long but I played it to death anyway. I also captured the Saturday afternoon radio broadcast on audio cassette, which might have been the very performance that was telecast, come to think of it. Don't remember now.
-
But now for the good news.
If DR John G. will PM me his mailing address which I swear I had but now I don't find it, I can provide relief from the out-of-print-ness of a certain Metropolitan Opera DVD. This is thanks to the fact that I got my Windows laptop working again (it was just a power issue) and I once again have access to a certain, ahem, special piece of software that, um, usually works. And it did, on this, just this morning.
DR Elmore, would you like a copy as well?

What a thoughtful gift.

DR TCB is your sister ok?
I hope you are feeling better today.
-
Oh--also, DR Elmore--
In one of your boxes of donations to the library, you had a few homespun copies of things and I helped myself to a London Mahagonny telecast from 2015. The director is John Fulljames, the conductor is Mark Wigglesworth, and the Jenny is Christine Rice. I'm guilty of not having watched it straight through yet, but it looks like an interesting production.
-
I enjoy that era of Argento films. IMDb says CAT O' NINE TAILS was released in May 1971, so I would have seen it in Cleveland where I'd seen BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE the year before and thrilled to it. The next one, FOUR FLIES ON GRAY VELVET, was released after I'd moved to Hollywood, and I forget which theater it played, but I believe I found the listing for it in my all too brief foray through newspapers.com last year.
I never saw any of his later films in a theater but I've enjoyed discovering them on the quality Blu-ray releases from the likes of Synapse and Arrow. And I think it's safe to say that Argento's giallos are the only giallos I like at all. I tried one or two of Fulci's, for instance, that were just yucky for yuckiness's sake, and I have no appetite for those or any others. But Argento has such a superb visual sense, and he knew how to make those films immediately draw you in and hold you.

Thank you. That's a very kind offer, but I own the DVD. I think Mahagonny is the great 20th century opera.

I stepped out to post three payments and then stopped in the corner bodega for breakfast - eggs and sausage on a roll - and a few items. The sausage was bland; I really want and egg mcmuffin!

I believe my beloved Rachel Kelly, who's on my recordings of Dearest Enemy and Eileen, is one of the whores in that Royal Opera Mahagonny.

Besides the Met broadcast, I have these two DVDs.

I remember Teresa Stratus had a see-through costume, which was daring for TV back then.

Yes, and I never noticed it till years later when I had the DVD.

I can’t do personal messages on my phone. But everyone here can have my email if they want it. Johngriffin0928@yahoo.com.
Sorry, ChasSmith, I misread that. Will send you my mailing address later. Thank you.

8.955 cases in Indiana - 436 deaths - 105 cases in my county.
Our governor and his staff and other officials speak to us daily at 2:30 p.m. and then take virtual questions from reporters.
It is a much saner version of what happens around 6 p.m. everyday on some of the cable channels.
-
We received some bad news about my sister in law's cancer today....but there is always hope....almost....always.
-
Jerry Hadley!
What do you think of those two DVDs, DR Elmore?
I haven't watched them in some time. My memory is that the Madrid recording is in English, but I prefer the Met.
-
The New York Times critics pick their desert island Broadway cast CDs. Oy. I don’t think I need to hear Caroline, or Change ever again. Or either version of Grey Gardens.
-
Strong vibes for DR Jrand69's sister in law.
-
Vibes and hugs for JRand and his sister.
-
Just finished listening to Angel, because, well, I never miss a Frances Sternhagen musical. Just empty.
-
Thanks!
-
DR FREDDIE indeed the Broadway musical ANNIE opened on April 21, 1977, and the movie ANNIE HALL opened on April 20, 1977.
So says Wikipedia.
-
I always think TITANIC (the musical) and TITANIC (the James Cameron film) opened closer together than they did. The musical opened in April 1997 and the movie in December. Well, a mere eight-month spread ain't bad.

Good afternoon.

The healthcare worker tested negative.

Yay!

My sister Brigitte got to go home today.

Just finished cleaning up my work table. That took awhile.
-
Good news for DRs Laura and JohnG!
-
And just finished The New Yorkers. Just inspired, raunchy silliness.
-
Wednesday afternoon greetings! We picked up this week's Kroger order this morning and dropped some mail at the drive-up mail box at the post office. That's our excitement for the week.

Vibes and prayers for DR JRand's sister-in-law...

I'm up, I'm up - a little over eight hours of sleep.

I've only seen one Mahagonny - at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion with Joel Grey. Is that the MET production?
-
Cincinnati Opera has just announced that the 2020 Summer Opera Festival is being cancelled :'(
-
I've only seen one Mahagonny - at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion with Joel Grey. Is that the MET production?
No. I can't think of a Mahagonny production with Joel Grey, although I could see him fitting right in. I thought you were watching the Audra McDonald production.
-
I want to see that dreadful film of Threepenny Opera with Raul Julia and Julia Migenes. I wish it were on DVD.
-

No. I can't think of a Mahagonny production with Joel Grey, although I could see him fitting right in. I thought you were watching the Audra McDonald production.
Just looked, and that's a Los Angeles Opera production. James Conlon conducts.
What's more, I found I have that one on the shelf, too, and I'm almost positive I haven't watched it.
-

I can send a copy of the MET one to you, too, if you want it.

I was. It was something I paid maybe $3 for.

That was JohnG, not me.
-
I can't remember who else was in it but it was very good and Grey was terrific.
-
ChasSmith, I Googled and can find not one word about the Grey production - it's on video??? Who directed it? Who else was in it?

Oy! Sorry!
-

No. I was only guessing that he might have appeared in the production that DR JohnG. is watching with McDonald and LuPone, since that was Los Angeles Opera. The DVD says it was recorded in L.A. in March 2007.
-
Aha - not Mahagonny, but Silbersee (Silverlake) - that's what I saw Joel Grey do at the Music Center - directed by Harold Prince!
-
An "Aha" moment!
-
Hello!

We received some bad news about my sister in law's cancer today....but there is always hope....almost....always.
Vibes for you and your family.
-
Food will be here momentarily - Cheesecake Factor - two meals in one - an appetizer Caesar salad, which is quite large, and the spicy chicken over rice, which I haven't had in years but which used to be my favorite. I'll eat half of each now and the other half later.
-
Vibes to jrand and family.

We have 10,903 confirmed cases - 549 deaths - 258 confirmed in my county with 15 deaths. Vibes Indiana does not catch up to us.
Funny, I have no idea if our governor is speaking daily. We watch Andrew Cuomo's reports. I don't always watch but Keith does.

I wish I could get their BBQ salad with extra beans instead of chicken. At home I could add tofu.
And a slice of anniversary cheesecake.

Good news from DR JOHN G & DR LAURA.
-
Jack I am so sorry to hear about your SIL. Sending prayers and vibes.
-
Thanks to everyone for the good wishes.
As more time goes by, I realize how really LUCKY I am with my diagnosis, quick treatment, and my doctors' actions.
Everything happened in the space of about 18 days from sending me to the emergency room to my surgery. I didn't really have much time to think about the fact that it might go wrong or that I might shuffle off this mortal coil.....
I'm alive and it seems more like a miracle every day.

Good news for DR Laura and the Health Care Worker

I know how you feel,Jack. Whenever I hear about somebody being ill I am filled with gratitude for my good fortune in receiving excellent treatment and the support I received from family and friends, and I count the members here as having been crucial in keeping me positive when things got tough.

God news for DR JohnG and his sister

Hello, everyone.

Good news from John G!
Continued vibes for his sister!

Good news from DR Laura!
Again, continued vibes.

Vibes for health and healing for Jrand's S-I-L and family.

I ventured out to Whole Foods today. No line, but they wouldn't let me bring my insulated canvas shopping bag into the store. I don't mind, but the person who was telling me was wearing two masks and had an accent. Communication wasn't great. A sign would have helped.
-
VERY little food. No bakery items whatsoever. Few employees. Carrots seem to be extinct. I was able to buy a few things, all at higher prices than I'm used to, but glad to have them nevertheless. People in general seem nicer. I think most people understand that circumstances are not ideal and that we all have to pitch in.
-
The online retailer I use a lot is out of stock of many things again. Last week it seemed like things were improving, but things change quickly these days. Sambucol is as hard to find as TP. In fact, they had some TP, but no Sambucol.
-
Glad to hear the good news from Elmore! I checked my account; mine has not arrived. For some reason I was thinking I'd receive some sort of notice--silly me.
-
I think Jane is the only one here besides me who has Acorn TV, but there's a French mystery series there that I like very much, BALTHAZAR. Acorn TV offers a free one-week trial, should anyone wish to give it a try.
-
TTFN.
-
Did I forget to say that my STIMULUS was in the bank this morning?
I believe I did -- and if that isn't worth a post, I don't know what is.
-
I also forgot to comment on this part of DR Elmore's post:
It was quite an exciting evening, and its anti-capitalist projections really pissed off a lot of gray-haired audience who walked out in droves in Act Three.
That's incredible! Okay, that was a long time ago, but ... but ... that's mind-boggling.
-
Aha - not Mahagonny, but Silbersee (Silverlake) - that's what I saw Joel Grey do at the Music Center - directed by Harold Prince!
I wanted to see that.

God news for DR JohnG and his sister

I didn't realize movie opening dates were on wikipedia. Thanks!
I see hours and hours of fun ahead with this.

I bought a Criterion Eclipse collected a few months back of movies made by Claude Autant-Lara during the Occupation. I just put on the first one, Sylvie and the Phantom, and it's quite charming. Pure French. It also features Jacques Tati in his first film role as the silent Phantom. He's not the star, despite the title.

-
I placed my first Costco order for delivery. Will see how that goes.
-
I'm up, I'm up - oh, wait.
-
Well, so much for getting two meals out of the spicy chicken over rice dish - I ate the whole damn thing because it was ADDICTIVE. Could not stop. Now I can't move.
-
I only ate a few bites of the salad so I have that for later should I need it, and no room for their great bread so I have that, too.
-
In six minutes, we do this test thing.
-
I went to the market earlier. Gas is now at $1.28 a gallon. And I don't need any.
-
They were still out of wipes, but they had spray cleaners today. Flour was still low, soup was relatively low, eggs were still limited to 2 dozen per customer.
I did find out something else I thought was weird. They don't have bouillon next to the soup. They have it with the canned vegetables. Why? Don't ask me. I couldn't find the bouillon at first, so I asked one of the sales clerks. She had never heard of bouillon before, so she couldn't help me.
-

Thanks for the tip. I think we still have Acorn. Keith is always switching things around, depending on what we want to watch and special deals. I will also tell my brother about it.

They had all several types, cubes, powder, jars. I was looking for a vegetable Better Than Bouillon, but they didn't have it. They had several others from the brand, but the only vegetarian version was Roasted Garlic, which I already have. And I have chicken, beef, pork, clam, lobster, mushroom, tomato, you name it. So, it wasn't a life or death thing.
-
It has been a long time since I have purchased vegetable Better Than Bouillon. It always seemed to be the first to sell out.

You were a Godsend for her, especially that day when my gall bladder decided it was not getting enough attention and decided to make itself known with a vengeance.
15 year old Vixter came home from school to an empty house with and a note from her Dad that we were in the emergency room. I ended up being operated on the next morning but that night she was comforted by you all here

Hey Jack, is Trey Hollingsworth your congressman?

Thanks to everyone for the good wishes.
As more time goes by, I realize how really LUCKY I am with my diagnosis, quick treatment, and my doctors' actions.
Everything happened in the space of about 18 days from sending me to the emergency room to my surgery. I didn't really have much time to think about the fact that it might go wrong or that I might shuffle off this mortal coil.....
I'm alive and it seems more like a miracle every day.
I know how you feel,Jack. Whenever I hear about somebody being ill I am filled with gratitude for my good fortune in receiving excellent treatment and the support I received from family and friends, and I count the members here as having been crucial in keeping me positive when things got tough.

And thankfully you are still here and saw your beautiful daughter happily married.

They were still out of wipes, but they had spray cleaners today. Flour was still low, soup was relatively low, eggs were still limited to 2 dozen per customer.
I did find out something else I thought was weird. They don't have bouillon next to the soup. They have it with the canned vegetables. Why? Don't ask me. I couldn't find the bouillon at first, so I asked one of the sales clerks. She had never heard of bouillon before, so she couldn't help me.
Interesting. Was it a can, jar, or those little cubes? I have found the cubes, and maybe the jars, near the Lipton Onion Soup mix.
They had all several types, cubes, powder, jars. I was looking for a vegetable Better Than Bouillon, but they didn't have it. They had several others from the brand, but the only vegetarian version was Roasted Garlic, which I already have. And I have chicken, beef, pork, clam, lobster, mushroom, tomato, you name it. So, it wasn't a life or death thing.
Wow. I've only ever seen chicken, vegetable, and beef.

Keith unexpectedly had to get something from Fred Meyer. I went with him and purchased 2 small coffee ice creams & 1 small vanilla bean.

We really don't want to go back in there until this virus is under control. Gosh, that could be in early 2022 :-\

Test was interesting - not sold on it quite, but we came up with another solution that we're now researching.

Yesterday afternoon UPS delivered from Petco a nice large carton containing 60 cans of Fancy Feast for my three little kittens. It was a gift from my fifth floor lesbian neighbors whose little dog Nora died from cancer. They are currently in exile in Boston, and the gift was greatly appreciated.
Very nice, Larry!

Congrats George.

8.955 cases in Indiana - 436 deaths - 105 cases in my county.
Our governor and his staff and other officials speak to us daily at 2:30 p.m. and then take virtual questions from reporters.
It is a much saner version of what happens around 6 p.m. everyday on some of the cable channels.
We have 10,903 confirmed cases - 549 deaths - 258 confirmed in my county with 15 deaths. Vibes Indiana does not catch up to us.
Funny, I have no idea if our governor is speaking daily. We watch Andrew Cuomo's reports. I don't always watch but Keith does.
Yes, Governor Inslee speaks every afternoon. At least, during the week days.

DR JohnG, I was at the Met premiere of Mahagonny in 1979. It was quite an exciting evening, and its anti-capitalist projections really pissed off a lot of gray-haired audience who walked out in droves in Act Three. That Met broadcast made it to DVD, but I see it's no longer in print.

A couple of months ago (I think), I bought the 21-DVD set of James Levine: Celebrating 40 Years At The Met (https://www.metoperashop.org/shop/james-levine-celebrating-40-years-at-the-met-dvd-set-4114) on sale for half price, $150 instead of $300 from the Met Opera Shop (https://www.metoperashop.org/), which works out to $13.64 per title! Anyway, that version of Mahagonny is included in this set. And it's actually still on sale! Amazon has it, but only used, and the lowest price is $239.49. :)

Congrats George.
Thanks, Jane!

Did I post this here yet. I know I posted it on castrecl and Facebook, but it adds post even if I've posted it here before (and maybe add a few views for me)

Glad to hear the good news from Elmore! I checked my account; mine has not arrived. For some reason I was thinking I'd receive some sort of notice--silly me.
Supposedly, you will receive an email 15 days after your check is sent out.

TCB, I think you should play Annie. It would be the kind of stretch you need.
Yes!

Hi, Tom.
-
Today would have been tax day.
I totally forgot about that.

Prayers and good wishes to Jrand and his family regarding his sister-in-law.

Good news from Laura and John G.

I went to the market earlier. Gas is now at $1.28 a gallon. And I don't need any.
And I was excited that our gas was down to $2.59 a gallon!

Finished with my viewing and a twenty-minute drive. Surprising to see cars out, and amusing to see a line of cars a block long waiting for In 'N' Out - that stupidity of THAT at eleven-twenty at night is simply mind-boggling.

Nearby Shell is 2.83 while Studio City is still 3.69.

What is this page six malarkey?
-
We received some bad news about my sister in law's cancer today....but there is always hope....almost....always.
Oh, no. :(
~~~Vibes of All Kinds for Jrand's Sister-in-Law!!~~~

The healthcare worker tested negative.
Great news, Laura!
-
My sister Brigitte got to go home today.
That's wonderful news, John!

Wow! :o What a difference!

Hello, George.

Good night, George

Good night, Tom.

What is this good night stuff and nonsense?

It's a good thing I'm self-isolating, because the meal today was so filled with garlic you could probably smell it a mile away. Thankfully, I didn't have to don the mask today, because that would have actually probably killed me.
