And now, I'm off to bed. Today, I have no plans, but I need to go into work for a moment. I think I left my bag with my Kindle and other stuff there because I can't find it here at home. It's not in my car and I know I didn't bring it into my mom's house yesterday, so it really can only be at work...hopefully. Otherwise, I'll stay home, do some laundry, maybe watch a bit of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, and more than likely watch the last three episodes of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Oh, and eat some egg salad sandwiches. ;D
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!

I slept well. I was very tired last night because of my late night the night before, and I had two strange dreams. In the first I was working in midtown as a gofer on some project and I saw Judy Collins getting out of her car. I was singing her song "My Father" when I saw her ;eave the car, so I opened a door and sat in the back seat with another person. There was someone in the front seat as well. Collins returned, saw me, said nothing, and drove to her apartment. At the apartment I followed them all inside and sat at a dining room table. She finally asked me who I was, and I said I was a fan, and that she had played a large role in whatever I'd become. She was working on a act she would be doing at Columbus Circle, and I met her band.
-
The second was back in 1977 Middletown, Ohio, and I was rehearsing Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well . . .
-
Today I must wait on this damned refrigerator delivery. Everything from the dead one sits in bags, and the clutter is beginning to work my last nerve.

Big fan of Julie Andrews.
Although I've never actually met her, I used to be a publicity consultant for Hanson & Schwarm, which represented her.
One day, I gave a lobby card from VICTOR/VICTORIA to the guy in the office who did represent her.
And now, that personally signed card (to me) is framed and hangs on a wall in my house
:)

Favorite Paul Newman movies.

In the next day or two, I will probably start writing the 33rd play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS series.
This one, like the 32nd play, will be about a former publicity client.

Gratuitous post #31.

I am going to spend the entire weekend refining my presentation, which I will be giving, ready or not, on Wednesday evening.

Good morning, all.

My mind is made up.
I am not giving a presentation - on Wednesday evening, or at any other time.
That's my decision and I'm sticking to it.

Up after maybe 9 hours of sleep.

I like Julie Andrews in just about everything. So, to the lists:
Torn Curtain

The Princess Diaries
Cinderella

The bastards at Crane Cooling have really fucked me over. No delivery yet, and when I call the office number, someone says in a heavy foreign accent "Call back in 30 minutes." I haven't had breakfast, but I have sent an angry email to building management. To put it mildly, I am thoroughly frustrated and pissed off.
-
I’m just starting Falstaff. I hope it doesn’t cut off with a half hour to go.
-
Good morning!

Mom has redbirds at her house, and I have gorgeous blue jays. Is this some sort of aviary political message?

Hoping your refrigerator arrives soon, DR elmore!

DR TCB "They Call the Wind Maria". The post above mine was from DR John
So, I asked Alexa to play "They Call the Wind Maria" and, sure enough, she pronounced it like "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria."
You can't make these things up.

Okay, I've been eating it for two days, and am happy to present:
MY WIFE OF FIRST COUSIN ONCE REMOVED'S SLOPPY JOE RECIPE
The info in parentheses is whatever I used or did this time.
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (85% lean)
2/3 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion (white)
* 1 cup ketchup (Heinz)
* 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
* 1 tbsp mustard (regular yellow)
* 1 tbsp vinegar (apple cider vinegar)
* 3 tbsp brown sugar (dark)
Salt and pepper (unspecified, so I seasoned the meat with fresh ground pepper and sea salt while browning)
Brown the meat. (She doesn't say to drain it, but I do.)
Combine the (*) ingredients in saucepan, bring to a boil and remove from heat.
Once meat is browned, add the celery and onion and mixture. Simmer 30 minutes.
I love Martin's potato rolls for burgers and such, but I'll eat Sloppy Joes on anything.
(I found other recipes calling for green bell pepper instead of celery, and for sautéing the onion and bell pepper in a little olive oil first. I'd choose not to do that, as this recipe provided a nice freshness and bit of crunch. I also thought the simmering improved it.)
-
From DR TCB:
Really, the first thing Joe thought to do after a 90 88 minute debate was to send me a text? I would have used the bathroom, myself.
;D
-
From DR George:
So, it's officially official: A Vegan Burger Is Still A Burger, The EU Rules. ;D
Thank goodness. That would have been truly dumb.
-
3:09 am, indeed
Not long before I woke up :-\

George I hope you find your bag with your Kindle and other stuff.

That Zeffirelli production of Falstaff is pretty wonderful.
-
DRs, the problem is not the landlord; the problem is Crane Cooling. Jeff the super has stepped into this mess to help, and he just called me to say that Crane Cooling called him to tell him that they will arrive between 4 and 5:00. I do hope he is right.
-
That Zeffirelli production of Falstaff is pretty wonderful.
Sure is! And it's a pretty wonderful opera to boot!

I'm happy to remember seeing it live. That was in 1986 on a quick visit to the city, so, several years before this telecast which I think is 1992. I sure wish I'd gone again because I lived here then.
-
I was in a Barnes and Noble back in July to pick up a few things during their Criterion sale. The 1953 War of the Worlds had just been released, and every copy had been grabbed up before I got there on the second day of the sale. That happened nearly everywhere, and demand was such that it was backordered online as well, so I waited it out.
The other hot hot hot title then was the James Whale Show Boat which was #1 on my list. The store had only one copy which had apparently gotten abused at the packaging stage, and I declined to take that one. I'd had their laserdisc for years, anyway.
Finally, their flash sale happened this week, and I just got my shipment which included both of those. I'm a happy boy.
-
Thanks so much for sharing the recipe, DR ChasSmith!

~~~FINDING IT VIBES~~~ for DR George!

I just polished off the Sloppy Joes. My belly thanks me.
Forgot to add that I made an equal-sized batch using Manwich, because we all wanted to compare. In its favor, I've got to say that Manwich, in all its simplicity, gets the job done when you're starving and just don't want to go to any trouble.
But in comparison with this kind of homemade one? Feed it to the kids. Fill THEIR little tummies with that overly sweet gooey high-fructose-corn-syrup-filled goodness, and set the good stuff on the adults' table.

That's quite lovely, DR singdaw.

And it would sure beat simmering for an hour.

The refrigerator has arrived. The teo men are great.
-
Great news, Elmore.
-
Did a bit of work on project one, then back to the mail place as a package that was late finally arrived and there was a nice green envelope from the Writer's Guild with a small residual for The Faculty. I can probably get five meals out of it :)
-
I'd been salivating over the big George Szell box - I had it in my shopping cart for ages at Amazon a year ago but never did it - at that point it was only about $170 for 106 discs. Alas, it's now in the stratosphere, price-wise, but I had something someone wanted and we bartered and now it is mine. Uploading the CDs now - will take quite a while, I should think. Listening to Dovrak's marvelous Slavonic Dances, disc one, in glorious mono.
-
Good news, DR elmore3003.
-
Oh my gosh, bk - you aren't kidding. $1,500 to $1,800? Yeesh.

OMG, that Szell box sounds incredible. Can't wait to hear the reports on it.

Good Afternoon. We finished Confirming the Class of 2020 - 6 confirmation masses to make up for the 1 we used to have before we couldn't have crowds. I'm glad that's done.
So, before I head back to church for the Saturday evening Mass, I intend to start throwing this away and that away and put things in boxes. Tomorrow, I think I'll head to the storage unit and do the same.
Yesterday, I gave my notice - the same day I got the lease renewal for my current apartment. I even received a call from corporate headquarters asking if I had any questions about the lease, I told them I submitted my notice. They tried to talk me into staying by saying we could "negotiate" the amount - I told her I had already signed somewhere else. She asked why I was leaving - I told her a few issues. I didn't have time for the entire list!
-
OMG again, I hadn't even thought about what the discs in these things would look like. Original labels there, too. And all the Epics as well as the Columbias. Salivating.
-
Congrats on the deal, BK.
-
Smart move, Matthew.
-
The refrigerator is a new Crosley, whatever the hell that is, and I have finished stocking it and dealing with the debris and rubble in removing the old one. The office personnel may be rude bastards, but their two delivery men were very kind and helped me with things I cannot do in my current state, like unplug the microwave and get it off the top of the fridge and then put it back. I'm currently a mess, and should get a bath after the kitty cleanup.

Here's for more kindness in the world!

Fledgling conductor Leonard Bernstein trained under George Szell. Szell was a bit of a task-master, apparently, but he really knew his stuff.
-
Szell!!!! Is that the shampoo with the pearl in it?

The important question, Elmore, is does the new fridge match the rest of your appliances?
-
It was probably only about five years ago that finally all my appliances matched. At one time I had an almond fridge, a white dishwasher, and a black stovetop.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Great news from Larry!
I know how frustrating and inconvenient it is when you have to wait for delivery people. At least ther delivery men were helpful and pleasant.
-

It does look nice when they all match, or just have two colors ;)

;D ;D
I often send funny stuff like this to a friend, but he's such a non-cook that I'm not sure he'd even get it.
(that was in response to the "Chill in the fridge" photo.)
-
and
OUCH!
(and that was in response to the cat arm.)
-
The building management here is upgrading the electrical system and I've been informed that the electrician will be here on Wednesday. The fuse box in my unit is on the wall behind my file cabinet. It's a pint-sized file cabinet, but it's still too heavy for me to move. I've been wanting to do more tossing and reorganizing anyway, so yesterday and today I've been doing that in spurts, anticipating that he'll have to move things. I've gotten a lot done, but there's still a lot left to do.

The weather is so crazy. Yesterday it was like summer (74F). And today it is mid 40s. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
-
Good luck finding your kindle DR George. That is my worst nightmare. Although hopefully you know where it is.
I actually got the new kindle oasis for Prime Day. And I love it so much!
-
I think it was Jrand who mentioned yesterday about having a mail-in ballot rejected. Mail-in ballots are inspected by humans to check for a valid signature, among other things. I believe that's the primary reason for rejection and is done prior to opening the ballot.
-
More vibes to George for finding his Kindle.
-
TTFN.
-
The weather is so crazy. Yesterday it was like summer (74F). And today it is mid 40s. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I was happy it warmed up to 48 degrees today, however, it is a bit windy. I wore lots of layers to walk.
-
We drove to Fred Meyer today and had planned on walking over to Fort Vancouver before shopping. Since it began raining we shopped and drove home, though the rain apparently stopped right after we went into the market. Still, the weather was muchnicer by the time we did walk.

Time to make sharkotka.

Yum.

I confess I had to look that one up. Yummy!

I'm up, I'm up - oh, wait...

I confess I had to look that one up. Yummy!
So did I ;D
-
Thus far, this Szell box is absolutely spectacular - still in the mono years, but the sound is incredible and my Lord the performances and playing is superb. Even the composers I don't love, like Mozart and Haydn - it's like hearing music I haven't heard. And there IS a lot of music in this set that's not familiar to me, so that's part of the fun of these - getting to know stuff I would never hear otherwise. The original jackets are great, the 146 page booklet is gorgeous and has all the recording information. The stereo stuff starts with disc 20. I'm currently on about disc four, just savoring it all. More about it in the notes.
-
Someone joined me up in one of those Facebook groups - this one called Classic Film Lovers, populated by some of the stupidest idiots ever - just morons of the highest order, who actually know nothing about classic films and don't want to told anything either. The final straw was just now - someone bragged that he was teaching his girlfriend about classic films and showing her Hitchcock's Rebecca even though she wanted to see the remake on Netflix. And this fool added a photo of his widescreen TV with Rebecca on it - IN WIDESCREEN - yes, he was stretching the image or zooming in to fill his screen. I of course went in and asked him why he was in a group called Classic Film Lovers if he was doing that to a classic film shot in 1.33, Academy ratio, which should have black bars on either side of the image. And a bunch of completely moronic individuals came after ME, saying this idiot could watch the film any way he wanted and filmmakers be damned. I came back in a particularly ME fashion and annihilated every one of them - saying that the group was filled with twelve-year-old know-nothings and that disrespect for filmmakers should not be tolerated by ANYONE. I left that up for a bit, then nuked the entire conversation and left the group. Stupidity knows no bounds on Facebook.

I'm throwing away CD's. Criteria - if they are on Spotify or Apple Music.... they are gone. It's what it is folks, shun as much as you'd like. I am saving all Varese and Kritzerland issues. And that "other" label as well, I suppose. But everything else.... haven't looked at it in 10+ years so it's going going gone.
And that's all I'm saying about THAT.

Totally addicted to this set. Just finished the mono New World Symphony - one of the greatest versions ever.
-
Smart move leaving the group.

I have been told the Rebecca remake is very good. I hesitate to watch it.
-
And now, I'm off to bed. Today, I have no plans, but I need to go into work for a moment. I think I left my bag with my Kindle and other stuff there because I can't find it here at home. It's not in my car and I know I didn't bring it into my mom's house yesterday, so it really can only be at work...hopefully. Otherwise, I'll stay home, do some laundry, maybe watch a bit of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, and more than likely watch the last three episodes of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Oh, and eat some egg salad sandwiches. ;D
Have a good day, all!
Well, I didn't have plans, but my sister did. ::) She called and asked if I would go to the store for her. She was having her friends over (she's known one of them since high school, they met the other two in college, and the four have stayed friends since then) and needed some stuff. I said that I could in a couple of hours.
-
When I left my house, I stopped off at work and my bag with my Kindle WAS there, so that was a relief! I went to my sister's and we chatted, then she texted my her list as I left for the store. She and her friends were going to order food from The Olive Garden so they each were to bring dessert stuff.
-
That's what I got for my sister. Ice cream, whipped cream, Oreos to crush, bananas, root beer for floats, etc. I also got gas while I was out and about, so that was good. After I dropped off the goods (tomorrow, the family is going to her house for our weekly-ish family dinner, so I'll get some of the leftover dessert stuffs!), I went to Subway for lunch. I got a footlong ham, cheese and egg flatbread.
-
I ate half for lunch and I just now remembered that I still have the other half for dinner, so I'll eat that pretty soonly. It heats up well enough for me. I then came home and read on my Kindle, watched some of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds (don't love it, don't hate it), did some other stuff on my computer, and now I'm here to ketchup on all of today's posts...and eat my Subway flatbread. :)
-
I am going to spend the entire weekend refining my presentation, which I will be giving, ready or not, on Wednesday evening.
Break Legs, Singdaw! :D
-
My mind is made up.

Oh, Paris Blues! I forgot that I recorded that on TCM for my dad (before it became a pay channel and I dropped it ::) ) and still have it on my DVR.

I am glad you found your kindle and other stuff.
Thanks, Jane!

Dopey me. ::)

I've seen that one before, but it's a good one, too! ;D

The refrigerator has arrived. The teo men are great.
Hoo and Ray!!

I'd been salivating over the big George Szell box - I had it in my shopping cart for ages at Amazon a year ago but never did it - at that point it was only about $170 for 106 discs. Alas, it's now in the stratosphere, price-wise, but I had something someone wanted and we bartered and now it is mine. Uploading the CDs now - will take quite a while, I should think. Listening to Dovrak's marvelous Slavonic Dances, disc one, in glorious mono.
Congrats, BK!

I just looked it up on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079VD2YRP/)!
OMG!! There's ONE USED copy $1,449.95 and one NEW copy for $1,799.99!! :o
-
Oh my gosh, bk - you aren't kidding. $1,500 to $1,800? Yeesh.
Yeesh is right!!

It was probably only about five years ago that finally all my appliances matched. At one time I had an almond fridge, a white dishwasher, and a black stovetop.
It does look nice when they all match, or just have two colors ;)
My parents used to have a dishwasher with three panels that you stored in the front. Each panel had a different color on each side, so it had six different colors that you could choose from.

Hi
-
A friend of mine went to vote today
-
It was the first day of early voting
-
He waited on line for five hours
-
My mom and I plan on going tomorrow morning and hope to get there before it actually opens. Hopefully we won’t run in to a similar wait.
-
We’re going to a different polling station than he did
-
My mom still has my Dad’s transport chair. I’m going to bring that and put Mom in it

Good luck finding your kindle DR George. That is my worst nightmare. Although hopefully you know where it is.
I actually got the new kindle oasis for Prime Day. And I love it so much!
Thanks, Jennifer! I did find it. And congrats on your new Kindle Oasis!
-
More vibes to George for finding his Kindle.
Thanks, Jeanne!

Hi, Vixmom!

Someone joined me up in one of those Facebook groups - this one called Classic Film Lovers, populated by some of the stupidest idiots ever - just morons of the highest order, who actually know nothing about classic films and don't want to told anything either. The final straw was just now - someone bragged that he was teaching his girlfriend about classic films and showing her Hitchcock's Rebecca even though she wanted to see the remake on Netflix. And this fool added a photo of his widescreen TV with Rebecca on it - IN WIDESCREEN - yes, he was stretching the image or zooming in to fill his screen. I of course went in and asked him why he was in a group called Classic Film Lovers if he was doing that to a classic film shot in 1.33, Academy ratio, which should have black bars on either side of the image. And a bunch of completely moronic individuals came after ME, saying this idiot could watch the film any way he wanted and filmmakers be damned. I came back in a particularly ME fashion and annihilated every one of them - saying that the group was filled with twelve-year-old know-nothings and that disrespect for filmmakers should not be tolerated by ANYONE. I left that up for a bit, then nuked the entire conversation and left the group. Stupidity knows no bounds on Facebook.
Good for you!

I'm throwing away CD's. Criteria - if they are on Spotify or Apple Music.... they are gone. It's what it is folks, shun as much as you'd like. I am saving all Varese and Kritzerland issues. And that "other" label as well, I suppose. But everything else.... haven't looked at it in 10+ years so it's going going gone.
And that's all I'm saying about THAT.
makes me sad.
To each his/her/their own (there are reasons), but it's not something that I EVER plan to do.

I just polished off the Sloppy Joes. My belly thanks me.
Forgot to add that I made an equal-sized batch using Manwich, because we all wanted to compare. In its favor, I've got to say that Manwich, in all its simplicity, gets the job done when you're starving and just don't want to go to any trouble.
But in comparison with this kind of homemade one? Feed it to the kids. Fill THEIR little tummies with that overly sweet gooey high-fructose-corn-syrup-filled goodness, and set the good stuff on the adults' table.
Or just leave the little brats at home!

Very good idea!

When I left my house, I stopped off at work and my bag with my Kindle WAS there, so that was a relief! I went to my sister's and we chatted, then she texted my her list as I left for the store. She and her friends were going to order food from The Olive Garden so they each were to bring dessert stuff.
Does she not have a car, or doesn’t she drive?

She does have a car and she does drive. She just doesn't like or want to go to the store. ::) And her boyfriend Larry was going to pick up the food from Olive Garden after they ordered it because he lives just a couple of block from it.

When I was a kid, my neighbors asked if I wanted to stay for dinner. The mother was making Sloppy Joes. I had only ever had the Manwich joes, so I said sure. I fell in love with her sloppy joes. I told my mom about them and then we had them a lot, too.

Cool. I don't know if my mom ever made sloppy joes...even the Manwich kind.

They were real easy to make, and very inexpensive. Brown a pound of hamburger with onion. Drain off the grease and add a can Campbell’s vegetable soup (the one with the alphabet). Add an egg to hold it all together. And that is it, except I always add a slice of cheddar cheese on it.

Sounds really simple.

Now I want sloppy joes!

Hey, George, will you go to the store for me?
