Well, you've read the notes, the notes gave you a kewpie doll and thought of a number between one and ten and drew a conclusion, and now it is time for you to post until the kewpie cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: KITSCH!
-
A perfect word to describe a kewpie doll.
-
Why am I up at 4:18 am?
-
I fell asleep yesterday and missed the global concert thingy. Did anyone see it?
-
Well I mean anyone HERE.
-
I’m sure SOMEONE, somewhere saw it
-
Probably several people
-
Or millions
-
Some number between one and twelve zillion
-
I’m babbling
-
Sleep deprivation will do that to you
-
I shall attempt to go back to skeep
-
I fell asleep yesterday and missed the global concert thingy. Did anyone see it?
I didn't watch it, but I recorded it.
-
Or sleep
-
Hi George!
-
I shall attempt to go back to skeep
Please do...or sleep, even! ;)
-
Or sleep
Ditto!
-
Hi George!
Hello, Vixmom!
-
HappY Birthday to Neve
-
I never knew when my cats birthday was
-
Which is odd really because I saw him be born
-
I just never really paid attention to things like that
-
HappY Birthday to Neve
Thanks!
-
He died in his basket while I was stroking him , he was about 15
-
I hVent had a pet since
-
I just never really paid attention to things like that
I only know because Neve's first owner e-mailed me and told me...and it's the day after my niece's birthday, so that was an easy way to remember, it also.
-
He died in his basket while I was stroking him , he was about 15
:(
-
That was 19 years ago
-
I still occasionally think I see him out of the corner of my eye
-
Sending hugs and love to Tom
-
Anyway good. Ight
-
Or good night
-
Or morning
-
Whatever
-
Good night, to you, too, Vixmom.
-
Whatever
;D
-
Well, I need to get to sleep.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I turned off the lights around 9:30 when Midsomer Murders ended and went right to sleep. I awoke a little past midnight and could not get back to sleep. I finally took a Tizanidine and a Tramadol and I was soon dozing away.
-
At 4:00 I was awakened by a tremendous crash, so I got out of bed to check it out. It was Annabelle's bookcase climbing. I don't check the stacks of books often enough, and I guess her leaping about managed to push enough books off kilter till they fell. A huge stack of books fell onto the humidifier sitting in storage at the back of the apartment. I'm sure that I will hear from the neighbor below me today. It was a loud crash.
-
So I have things to do today about the apartment besides the usual tidy up. I need the Big Ladder as well to bring down some more cat food, and I need a trek to the corner bodega.
-
DR George, belated birthday wishes to Neve!
-
Nice to see DR Iris back last night.
-
Kitty cleanup is over, and I'm on my second cuppa.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Continued vibes for TOM!
-
Catching up vibes for DR CILLA LIZ.
-
Continued vibes for TOM!
I’ll second that.
-
Sunday.....cloudy.....but that's okay.....temps in the 60's today they say.
-
Well in the damned Chemo messes up your brain department, I can't think of the name of our second shar-pei......I remember Memory, our first, and of course Precious my shi-tzu......but I can't remember the name of the doggie in between....
DAMMIT.....
-
I love Liza Minnelli's album of BYE BYE, BIRDIE! songs - especially when she sings KITSCH!
-
Good morning, all.
-
It’s a sunny Sunday morning in the neighborhood, and we should reach the mid-50s. A nice change from the chill wet that was the last couple of days.
-
I heard of kewpie dolls and kewpie doll looks or expressions all my life without knowing what an actual kewpie doll was.
-
Continued vibes for TOM!
Yes, indeed!
-
I didn’t know about that BEYOND THE FRINGE thing, and would like to see it. I do need to take the albums out. Been way too long.
-
I know about the lunatic fringe - which I heard about on television when I was in grade school.....I didn't know what it was, but I thought it was hilarious....
-
Every moment of Karloff in TARGETS is worth the price of admission. We’re just lucky the movie is as decent as it is. The Valley locations are great and you can only wish there was more of that, but the story is pretty confined in that regard, so I guess there was nowhere else to go.
It’s amusing to me that they used a storefront on Sunset Blvd. at La Cienega or Alta Loma for the gun shop. The one time in my life I’ve been to a gun shop, I was living not far from there on Kings Road. That’s when I bought my Vandersteen speakers and the optional stands for them. To properly weight those stands, putting 25 lbs of lead shot in each was recommended. And what did I know about getting lead shot? I consulted the yellow pages, and for some reason, decided on driving to this gun shop in the Valley. I forget where, exactly, but it was way the hell out there. So I bought these two 25-lb bags of lead shot, which were smaller and heavier than I ever imagined. It was probably comical watching me carry them out to my car, and then into my apartment. Anyway, I still have those speakers and their stands are still beautifully weighted down by that lead shot. That, and some dried beach sand to fill in the remaining gaps.

I love Liza Minnelli's album of BYE BYE, BIRDIE! songs - especially when she sings KITSCH!
Ha!
-
Three!
-
I did finally get some more sleep
-
And I am getting ready for church
-
Which these days means getting my headphones connected to the ipad
-
Making sure the iPad is fully charged
-
Getting a cup of coffee
-
Settling in to the recliner with a comfy blanket
-
Then I have to be sure to be on FB 10 minutes from now so I can click on the link when it pops up
-
Got to recharge the Kindle. Service is over.
-
I think I will watch Phantom today. It’s streaming for free on ALW’s youtube channel. I saw the show on tour some 30 years ago. Isn’t it what beat out Into the Woods for the Tony?
-
We’re going to watch Phantom, too. Not anyone’s favorite show, and I know Royal Albert Hall won’t be like seeing the real thing, but I want to follow the score throughout which, amazingly, I’ve never done.
There’s also audio from complete Michael Crawford era performances on YouTube.
-
Speaking of TARGETS and gun shops and Phantom, I’m also putting new chains on my two chainsaws today. Seems fitting, somehow.
-
Good morning!
-
My condolences, TCB. It's so hard to lose a beloved pet.
-
Good morning.
-
I'm so sorry, TCB. Nicky had a long happy life with you.
Keep your heart open; another kitty might walk into your life. Or onto your patio. Hungry and crying.
-
I've been doing yard work. I don't know if I did any specific to hurt myself, but this morning I was bending over and my low back seemed to spasm. I probably will have to sit with the heating pad for a few days.
-
Sunday seems like Saturday seems like Friday seems like Thursday.
We should be beginning our first full week of ANYTHING GOES rehearsals, but we are not.
-
Which is odd really because I saw him be born
I would say that is odd ;D
-

Aww, but sweet.
-

Very easy.
-
For pets we didn't have an actual known date we picked one.
-
I still occasionally think I see him out of the corner of my eye
I still expect Bogie to snuggle under the covers in my arms. He would have loved my tablet.
-
Well in the damned Chemo messes up your brain department, I can't think of the name of our second shar-pei......I remember Memory, our first, and of course Precious my shi-tzu......but I can't remember the name of the doggie in between....

It will come back to you later.
-
I did finally get some more sleep
Good. I woke up at 5:30 and to my surprise went back to sleep for 2 hours.
-

Ouch. Vibes it doesn't take longer to feel better.

Back vibes for Laura.

Watching The Lion in Winter. O'Toole is just magnificent.

Good afternoon. Pardon me for a moment while I rant: Ok, so I have new neighbors and they always have someone parked right across the street from my driveway. Our street is narrow enough that I can't back out and go up the hill if someone is parked there. I can go the other way, but I don't always want to do that. So a couple weeks ago, I spaced off and accidentally hit the car. No problem, my fault, it's fixed blah blah blah
Today I looked out and there is a car parked in exactly the same place! Mind you, there are no other cars anywhere else on the whole block and if they moved it down even 3 or 4 feet I could easily get out of my drive way. So, I went over to ask them to move it and even though there are 3 cars there and I can see the washing machine going, no one came to the door.
So, I wrote a note and put it on the car. I am so sick of this. I think I'll go park right across the street from their driveway. They have to come all the way across to get out just like I do. They've ended up in my yard and knocked over my garbage cans....no I don't get mad, but if you are ending up in my yard when you back out of your driveway, how on earth do you think I can get out of mine when you park across the street right at the end of my driveway!! And it's the only car parked anywhere on the street, AND they have plenty of room to park it in their driveway. You'd think they'd have the courtesy to park three feet farther down the road so others can get out of their driveways! End of rant.
-
Rant away, Cillaliz. That's just inconsiderate.
-
I didn't realize the War and Peace I watched yesterday came out the same year as The Lion in Winter. Both historical pictures. Couldn't be more different.
-
Four!
-
I did some yard work and played with the cats. I got a great toy in my last Crazy Cat Lady Box. It's a telescoping wand with fishing line and a toy on the end. They love it.
-
Rant away, Cillaliz. That's just inconsiderate.
Thank you. I wrote in my note that I'd already accidentally hit one car parked there and if it happens again I'm not paying for it.
-
I bought a ham steak the other day to make Dutch Lettuce (Leaf Lettuce, a little ham, boiled potatoes, hard boiled eggs, a little onion and hot bacon dressing) I had some left and had a box of au gratin potatoes, so I'm making au gratin potatoes and ham
-
I watched Phantom Friday night. It isn't my favorite musical either, but I enjoyed it anyway. I did really enjoy Phantom in Las Vegas. I'm thinking it was a shortened version with no intermission, and the theater was wonderful for the show.
-
Did I mention that last night I found a rookery with 14-15 Great Blue Heron nests? Friends had posted on FB and talked about it, so on my drive last night (I take a drive every evening) I discovered it and it's like maybe 5 minutes from my house!. I didn't have a camera or a phone last night, but I've charged up my good cameras and will probably venture out before long to see if I can get some photos.
-
I also got directions to a bald eagle's nest. There are lots of those in Iowa now, but I never seem to see them so I may make that trek too. It's probably a 45 minute drive away but people have gotten fantastic photos of this one, so it may be worth the drive.
-
Wow, the county across the river from us has gone from 1 case to 44 cases of covid in one week. We're up to 43. I'm thinking we were about 1/2 that a week ago. I guess it's arrived
-
So that means in our little metro of 100,000 people from both sides of the river we've gone from about 24 cases to 87 in a week. Yikes
-
Rant away, Cillaliz. That's just inconsiderate.
I agree.
-
Walking these days can be a challenge avoiding people. Keith & I play a game, are they simply covidiots or perennial idiots. DR Cilla your neighbors are perennial idiots. I hope by pointing it out to them they will change their rude behavior.
-
Back vibes for Laura
-
Cilla, I agree that your neighbors inconsiderate
-
More hugs for TCB
-
Phantom was staged way more splendidly than I thought it would be, and the singing and playing were glorious. And not a note or word cut, beyond a couple of bars that I suspect have been cut for years. No complaints.
-
Today’s breakfast
-
That’s brioche toast
-
ChasSmith, have I missed it? I can’t find a link to Phantom anywhere.
-
And that dark stuff on the grilled tomatoes is HP Sauce, imported from Great Britain
-
And the green stuff on the eggs is Penzey’s Sunny Paris blend
-
Today’s breakfast
It looks delicious except I will have my eggs sunnyside up please ;)
-
It’s over. I missed it. Oh well.
-
I started watching Phantom last night and just tried to return to it. I guess it's over now ...
-
I'm sure I told you all my Phantom story years ago.
-
Some great stuff comes up as recommended on Youtube sometimes.
-
And that dark stuff on the grilled tomatoes is HP Sauce, imported from Great Britain
Probably a stupid question, but do you grill them? I want to do that.
-
Yes, I found it was removed after I finished watching and refreshed the screen. The cutoff for accessing it was 2pm eastern. I got in just in time.
-
They did release it on Blu-ray and DVD, so libraries should have it.
-
I guess I’ll stick in James Goldman’s version of the Middle Ages. It’s Robin and Marian time. Even John Barry is back with the score.
-
I'm sure I told you all my Phantom story years ago.
can we have a repeat of the story since we can't watch the show?
-
Five!

That is super inconsiderate. Maybe they saw you through the window and didn't want to answer the door. Or maybe they aren't answering the door at all if they aren't expecting anyone because of covid 19.
Can you back into your driveway so you are always driving facing that car? I always back into my driveway. Also can you just park your car where you don't want them to park? :)
-
I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.
-
And that dark stuff on the grilled tomatoes is HP Sauce, imported from Great Britain
Probably a stupid question, but do you grill them? I want to do that.
Actually I put them in the toaster oven on 400 , vixdad likes woestershire sauce his, I prefer a dab of salted butter and a dash of Sunny Paris
-
The mushrooms are cooked in a skillet in salted butter, some white wine, a dash of lemon juice and a sprinkle of my favorite Sunny Paris
-
A rather lazy day, I did put away the books Annabelle toppled early this morning, and I watched bits of Offenbach operettas on youtube.

Remember as far back as yesterday when all those media folks bombarded everyone with photos of the "jammed" beaches in Jacksonville and the outrage was soooo mighty and swift. I knew those photos weren't really current because I recognized two of them from earlier stories, and it was way too bright for five o'clock and you had people in bathing suits and all, playing volleyball, which is forbidden. Well, there's a reason they didn't close it down immediately from all those hundreds of people a swarmed the beaches. They weren't there. No one swarmed the beaches, people did what they were asked to do. Here is a Florida site with drone footage of the reopening AND there's a link in the story that will take you to a live drone camera right now - two people on that stretch of beach, taking a stroll. https://www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/jacksonville-beach-reopen-video-live/77-ff8a26bd-34cc-4763-afad-214cff4c131c?fbclid=IwAR1a2Csnpt-x_BQYlsN3bahSwRtUvAigQVORmf0W_GqUMlQGgZucul7h3l0

Crazy!
I think DR CILLA LIZ's neighbors must be related to DR VIXMOM's ground beef man.

So you know:
As the sun enters Taurus today, your senses are awakened. If you’ve been distracted/stressed by life and have been ignoring the beauty around you lately, this is the time to look around and notice all of the amazing things you can smell, touch, taste, hear, and feel.
Taurus is ruled by the goddess of love and money, and when these things combine, you’re able to enjoy the best of what life has to offer. Indulging in the finer things that bring you happiness is what this transit is all about, but the Bull’s energy also brings moments of stubbornness and selfishness in your quest to enjoy the best of what life has to offer.
-
Robin and Marian meet after so many years apart.
Marian: You never wrote.
Robin: I don't know how.

According to imdb.com, Richard Lester apparently didn't care for the score John Barry provided. Michel Legrand wrote another score that obviously wasn't used, but it was released on a CD in France. I'd like to hear it one of these days.

Sunday evening greetings! We were up early this morning for Fr. Richard to lead morning prayer on Zoom for the church in Beavercreek. I vegged this afternoon and made a meat loaf for our dinner. It’s beginning to smell good!
-
DR John G, yes, I have read Station Eleven - twice. I think I recommended it back when you asked about pandemic stories. It’s one of my favorite recent books.
-
They did release it on Blu-ray and DVD, so libraries should have it.
I miss the libraries...
-
We watched The China Syndrome last night. Neither of us had ever seen it.

I hate when misleading photos are used. Thanks for the drone video. I would like to know what it looked like over the weekend at various hours.
-

I believe I also second the recommendation.

I fortunately still have my online library access.

Oh, we have that, too, but I miss books and the programming and meeting rooms that are used frequently by groups I’m part of.
By the way - Happy National Library Week!

We watched The China Syndrome last night. Neither of us had ever seen it.
Wow! Did you enjoy it?
-
I don't know about his headline or conclusion, but these two examples of "Lonely House" sure are beautiful:
THE BALLAD OF URBAN ISOLATION
From Kurt Weill’s Street Scene, the best metropolitan monologue before Stephen Sondheim:

I'm sure I told you all my Phantom story years ago.
can we have a repeat of the story since we can't watch the show?
When my daughter was seven years old, she enjoyed my cassette tapes of the highlights of the Phantom of the Opera so much, that all she wanted for Christmas that year was a ticket to see Phantom. Of course, that was not going to happen, since we live in Arizona and it was playing in New York. We hated that we were going to have to disappoint her.
One day my DH called from work and said someone told him that Phantom was playing in Los Angeles, and why didn't I get tickets? I was stunned that he would have even suggested it.
-
Well, the chainsaw chain changes (say that repeatedly as fast as you can) didn't happen.
Tomorrow is another day!
Mañana!
-
DR John G, yes, I have read Station Eleven - twice. I think I recommended it back when you asked about pandemic stories. It’s one of my favorite recent books.
I do think you were the one who turned me on to it. Thank you for the recommendation. Really appreciate it.

Beautiful. Will have to go listen to Emily Skinner's version a little later. Thanks for sharing.

Whoa!!! :)

Oh, look at that beautiful little girl, soooo cute :)

Indiana now has 11,210 cases - 562 deaths - county numbers were not released today
-
What a great story DR LAURA!
-
We watched The China Syndrome last night. Neither of us had ever seen it.
Wow! Did you enjoy it?
It’s pretty dated, but, yes, we’re glad to have seen it.
-
We are very relieved that our friend with pneumonia is home from the hospital.
-
It was quite the undertaking for me to drive to LA with a child and find my way around. There was no Mapquest or GPS at the time.
-
John G., have you seen this chef on youtube? She's one of my favorites.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJKc-NPvD8M
-
Been busy today - nice for a change.
-
I had some of the tuna pasta salad and will finish it later.
-
I'll have a fun announcement in tomorrow's notes.
-
What day is it?
-
I think it's Sunday, right? I let the motor car's engine run for about thirty minutes earlier.
-
We watched The China Syndrome last night. Neither of us had ever seen it.
I saw that in the theatre. I was on a date. When we got back to his car he turned on the radio and there was a special news announcement about the accident at Three Mike Island. We just sat there in the parking lot listening to the radio, scared to death.
-

I am sure it was! From the look on little Sandra’s face it was well worth the effort!

I'm starting to watch Ladies in Lavender. It's a sweet movie. I haven't seen it since it was in the theater. But I think it's a little too light for tonight.
-
We had our monthly Bible study tonight via zoom. It was rather interesting. It lasted a lot less than when we get together.
-
Good night, all.

Walking these days can be a challenge avoiding people. Keith & I play a game, are they simply covidiots or perennial idiots. DR Cilla your neighbors are perennial idiots. I hope by pointing it out to them they will change their rude behavior.
They left and came back and parked about 10 feet farther down the road. Thank you.

Lovely Photo DR Laura
-
Thank you all for commiserating. I'm pretty sure there won't be more problems. My neighbor is a recently divorced man.His 23 year old son and his girlfriend live in the basement. He has a college age daughter as well. The girlfriend's car was the one I hit. I'm thinking this was the daughter home to wash clothes. Apparently the point was made. The dad is very understanding. He says he keeps telling them by they don't listen. That's believable
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Now finishing the tuna pasta salad, then a drive.
-
DR George, belated birthday wishes to Neve!
Thanks, Larry!
-
I've been doing yard work. I don't know if I did any specific to hurt myself, but this morning I was bending over and my low back seemed to spasm. I probably will have to sit with the heating pad for a few days.
Oh, no!
~~~Back Be Better Vibes for Laura!!~~~

Sunday seems like Saturday seems like Friday seems like Thursday.
We should be beginning our first full week of ANYTHING GOES rehearsals, but we are not.
Tomorrow night (a Yentl reference ;) ), I actually start online rehearsals for Mamma Mia! I have to install the Google Meet app on my table because my desktop computer doesn't have a camera and it's not actually on a desk. The music director made YouTube videos of her teaching the first two songs.
-
It'll be an adventure! ::)
-
And now, since we're so close...
-
7!!!!!!!
-
Now, to ketchup on all of today's posts.
-
My goodness, we were on page six a long time. But those days are over now.
-
Took a short drive - big lines at ten o'clock at Taco Bell and In 'N' Out. If anyone understands that, do let me know.

You would think hitting the car would have convinced them ::)
I am glad the father is nice.

An interesting one. Good luck.
-
I think I have a kewpie doll in my basement...
-
DR Laura...hope your back feels better
-
I ordered a new camera tonight. One of my friends takes insanely good photos.. He told me what camera he uses and I decided to splurge. If I've learned anything this year it's that you can't keep putting off things you really want and I've always wanted a camera with an incredible zoom.. It's a Nikon Coolpix P 1000. The zoom is so powerful you csn take great photos of the craters on the moon!
-
I'll be able to get great wildlife photos. I'm very excited about this
-
Enjoy your new camera. I look forward to the photos you will share.
-
Good evening
-
Thank you for all the continued good wishes.
-
Sitting on the edge of the bed tonight, I looked over to see Nicky’s water bowl still sitting there, full to the brim.
-
It never occurred to me to take it away.
-
Some of these picketers in Olympia this afternoon protesting the Coronavirus closures really pissed me off.
-
Only some of them bothered to wear masks or observe social distancing.
-
We are robbed of our constitutional rights! Horse shit!

Cilla, did you see Brent Barrett play the Phantom in Vegas?

Gratuitous Post #200!

Hi, Tom.
-
For pets we didn't have an actual known date we picked one.
All of my niece's chickens hatched on her birthday, April 17!
-
I have also apologized to Nicky three or four times for sneezing, or for lowering the bed on him.
-
Did I mention that last night I found a rookery with 14-15 Great Blue Heron nests? Friends had posted on FB and talked about it, so on my drive last night (I take a drive every evening) I discovered it and it's like maybe 5 minutes from my house!. I didn't have a camera or a phone last night, but I've charged up my good cameras and will probably venture out before long to see if I can get some photos.
That's so cool, Cillaliz! Hope you can get some good pictures!

Hello, George.
-
Wow, the county across the river from us has gone from 1 case to 44 cases of covid in one week. We're up to 43. I'm thinking we were about 1/2 that a week ago. I guess it's arrived
:o :(
-
The mushrooms are cooked in a skillet in salted butter, some white wine, a dash of lemon juice and a sprinkle of my favorite Sunny Paris
Mushrooms = :P
-
Oh, and I got an email from Nicky’s former vet (about 12 weeks and counting) reminding me that Nicky is overdue for a checkup.

George, when you check out an ebook from the library, is there any way to renew it?
-
They did release it on Blu-ray and DVD, so libraries should have it.
I miss the libraries...
I fortunately still have my online library access.
Oh, we have that, too, but I miss books and the programming and meeting rooms that are used frequently by groups I’m part of.
By the way - Happy National Library Week!
And to you, too!

That's really cool, Laura!

George, when you check out an ebook from the library, is there any way to renew it?
You can set your check-out period to be 7 days, 14 days, or 21 days. I don't know if you can actually renew something, or just place another hold and wait for the other patrons to get through it or check it out again if there are no holds. I've never gotten to that point, so I don't know.
See my next post....

Tom, I just checked and here's the OverDrive Help section. There's a link specifically on renewing e-books:

John G., have you seen this chef on youtube? She's one of my favorites.

One of my favorite YouTube chefs is the Preppy Kitchen (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTvYEid8tmg0jqGPDkehc_Q). :)

We watched The China Syndrome last night. Neither of us had ever seen it.
I saw that in the theatre. I was on a date. When we got back to his car he turned on the radio and there was a special news announcement about the accident at Three Mike Island. We just sat there in the parking lot listening to the radio, scared to death.
Wow...talk about a coincidence! :-\

Thank you all for commiserating. I'm pretty sure there won't be more problems. My neighbor is a recently divorced man.His 23 year old son and his girlfriend live in the basement. He has a college age daughter as well. The girlfriend's car was the one I hit. I'm thinking this was the daughter home to wash clothes. Apparently the point was made. The dad is very understanding. He says he keeps telling them by they don't listen. That's believable
Well, that's good. It's nice to have understanding people when dealing with issues.
-
I'll have a fun announcement in tomorrow's notes.
Ooo...can't wait to find out what it is! ;D

Gratuitous Post #222!

It'll be an adventure! ::)
An interesting one. Good luck.
Thanks, Jane! I'm gonna need it!

I ordered a new camera tonight. One of my friends takes insanely good photos.. He told me what camera he uses and I decided to splurge. If I've learned anything this year it's that you can't keep putting off things you really want and I've always wanted a camera with an incredible zoom.. It's a Nikon Coolpix P 1000. The zoom is so powerful you csn take great photos of the craters on the moon!
Nice! Last year (I think), I'd read about a zoom lens that was that powerful, and at the time it was the most powerful optical zoom lens available at a reasonable price. The video and examples that the article (ad?) shared were incredible!

Exactly! :P

Several months after my previous cat Ebonie died, I got an e-mail about renewing her license. :( I had to let them know why I wasn't renewing.

TCB, those picketers are part of a very well organized right-wing fringe group and they're probably being paid to be there. This was a coordinated thing, make no mistake about it.
