Well, you've read the notes, the notes found the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the found cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: HYGGE!
-
So, yesterday was a day. :) I first went to my sister's and the family all got together for lunch. My sister made enchiladas and just made up the recipe. They were meat-free, but still really good. She used the 10-inch flour tortillas and I could only eat one. I brought one home and had it for dinner. Even reheated, it was still really good. I wouldn't have minded some ground beef, but it wasn't missed. After eating lunch, we played Phase 10 and my sister won. Whatever. ::)
;)
-
After we were all done at my sister's, her boyfriend Larry and I went to my work and borrowed (with permission) a flatbed cart so that he and I could move the 115-pound TV(!) from my mom's den into Larry's Honda CRV to bring it to Best Buy to be recycled. This was a wide-screen TV, but it had a CRT and was huge!
-
Here's the cart in front of the TV still on its table:
-
And here's the side view so you can see the depth of the TV:
-
Fortunately, the cart was very sturdy and it was pretty easy getting it out of the house, even down the two stairs outside. And we were able to get the TV into Larry's Honda without much trouble...it was freakin' heavy, but we managed. We left the cart at my mom's house and when we got to Best Buy (I rode with him in his car), he pulled up right in front of the store and they got the TV out of his car. We then went back to my mom's to get the cart and my car, and we brought the cart back to my work and I put it back to where it came from, then we went to our respective homes.
-
By this time, I was hungry for dinner, so I ate the leftover really good and very large enchilada and read a few chapters in my Cormoran Strike book that's on my tablet. This epub title from the library has a real due date, so I can't dilly-dally with my reading, like I can with my Kindle titles. I then promptly fell asleep until a little after midnight, which is why I didn't show up here until after the day changed. ::)
-
Yesterday, Jane asked:
George & TCB did you see our governor will be making an announcement tomorrow regarding new bans?
Tom said that he saw it, and I did, too. I won't watch/listen to it live, but I'll find out what's it all about (Alfie ;) ) when I find out about it.
-
And now, I'm off to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I'm listening to Bach's Cantata 147 at the moment.
-
DR George, that TV saga was quite an adventure.
-
This should be a quiet day. I need to pay three bills and post them tomorrow, and I will try to get more proofreading of band parts accomplished.
-
Yesterday a friend who's been reading my A&T book had a suggestion about Chapter One that I liked very much, but that means rethinking Chapter Two as well. I've made my first attempt, and I'm letting it sit for a couple of days before I read it and see how I feel about it. If I'm not happy, I can try another approach or go back to what I originally had.
-
I think tonight we'll watch Robin and Marian, which I've never seen. I like Sean Connery, Audrey Hepburn, and Richard Lester. so I'm looking forward to it.
-
DR TCB, I agree with you about The Draughtsman's Contract. I watched it thinking what the fat hell is going on, but Peter Greenaway's films seem to get wonderful actors indulging in pretentious twaddle. I liked Prospero's Books because it was like watching a live Renaissance mural, and I thought The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover was outrageously funny and twisted. The Belly of An Architect and A Zed and Two Naughts left me bewildered but not bewitched.
-
Stella has been bullying Thatch, who happily doesn't seem to let it bother him. When he goes to get water or some kibble, she suddenly darts in front of him and helps herself, making him wait. My little gentleman does it with great patience and no resentment. Last night during Midsomer Murders he groomed her after they had spent the afternoon in hectic play.
-
I guess everyone's sleeping in this morning? I wish I could.
-
Talk about a rabbit hole! I was hereforto unaware of David Hurwitz.
Now, I think I could spend the next several years watching all of these intriguing video reviews.
Thanks, bk!
-
How are you at multi-tasking?
-
How are you at multi-tasking?
If there were room for a writing table, I'd be all set.
-
Good morning!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Could the keyboard move around? Might more comfortable, seat wise.
-
Coffee and gelatin for breakfast. Oh, boy.
-
I have some French films set aside for today.
-
Coffee and gelatin for breakfast.
But not necessarily in that order?
-
Found the perfect chandelier for that bathroom...
-
Let's move on...
-
DEUX!
-
As opposed to deaux, which is something completely different.
-
thank you DR LAURA that was most interesting!
You have a BIG cactus.
-
You have a BIG cactus.
And that's no euphemism!
-
Starting to watch Judex. I had planned on watching Boudou Saved from Drowning, but my disc was cheap and didn't really play correctly. Guess I'll be getting that Criterion edition this month.
-
Good morning, all.
-
And boy, do I NOT have get-up-and-go ton his fine cool cloudy morning.
-
Also, a little sniffly from allergies. That's the main problem.
-
I have some French films set aside for today.
I thought that said "I have some French fries set aside for today."
And then I realized that couldn't possibly be right, given the gentleman's previous post.
Happy prep day, sir! Been there. And I believe my time's coming up next fall.
-
It is a rite of passage, that's for sure.
I have a family medical history, so I've been through this, I think, 4 times so far.
~~~HUGS~~~
-
Late last night I had just enough of a second wind in me to see a film, so I watched one I'd DVR'd from TCM's October offerings: a relatively late Christopher Lee / Peter Cushing one called NOTHING BUT THE NIGHT.
Hardly a masterpiece, but not your standard fare, either, and I found it interesting.
It also has a slight but amusing resemblance in one respect to Lee's THE WICKER MAN which followed.
-

The next one will be my third, which I think considering my age, should really be my fourth. But I went for my first one a few years late.
-
Unlike some, I don't like it when people get all HYGGE. Especially when it's people I wouldn't choose to HYG or be HYGGED by in the first place.
-
I spent breakfast fighting for my food with little piglet Stella. She is persistent and indestructible.
-
I think I will lie down with Thatch, if he's willing, for a while and veg out.
-
Judex is a joy, and I found the original serial of silent films it's based on on YouTube to watch at some point.
-
I liked The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. HYGGE.
-
But not the musical.

I believe there is a long waiting list for it aside from the fact they take the book once it expires.

Same here. I have a neighbor who posted on FB the Pacific that the Pacific states are not just anti-Trump but are pro communist. I really do not understand how protecting us from the virus is either political or communism.
-
I know Bruce has a different opinion about these regulations as do others, but communism is really a stretch.
-
I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.
-
It's like the 1950s all over again with this communist crap.
-
I don't blame 45 for the virus - that would have happened regardless - but I do blame him for politicizing it.
-
We are watching Merchant and Ivory's Maurice, which we haven't seen in a long while.

How does it hold up?
-
Slowly getting up from a nap.
-
I like MAURICE.
-
It was very windy today......we lost power briefly TWICE..... With all the leaves gone from the trees, the branches waving against the sky are interesting to watch.
-
The SPACEX rocket will be blasting off soon. I am watching on the Science Channel.
And tonight we have what I think will be our LAST meeting for A CHRISTMAS CAROL.....
-
Good Afternoon - same stuff today as yesterday. Stuff getting done!
-

;D
-
It is nice out today, 55 and windy but not too windy. The last of the autumn leaves are beautiful. Best of all, no rain.
-
Awhile back Bryan purchased a high-def camera for his tv making video chatting much friendlier. It feels more like we are visiting in their living room. Best of all, Freyja and see and respond to a better. Today we had an extra nice chat.
-
I think the Merchant-Ivory MAURICE and ROOM WITH A VIEW hold up quite well.
-
How does it hold up?
Still beautiful! Ending kind of rushed and not believable, however.
-
I did a huge weeding of my iTunes over a month ago, and now I'm finding I went way too far. The sad thing is that no matter how much digging I do on external hard drives, I am npot finding things that should be in the stored music.
-

I don't think it's any more believable in the novel.
-

Whew! :P
-
That's nice, DR Jane. For a while when I was growing up in Los Angeles, with my grandparents on the East Coast, we exchanged reel-to-reel tapes in the mail, back and forth.
-
Nice that technology has made such things even more enjoyable. Still no real substitute for in-person, though.
-

I concur.
-
Tuna sandwiches were excellent. Zoom rehearsal was fun.
-
Tuna sandwiches are on the schedule for tomorrow here.
-
I don't mind saying I'm worn the hell out.
Nathan and I just spent the entire day continuing the garage cleanup we started last weekend. It's getting there. This week and next weekend will see it finished for this year, and it will be more usable than it's ever been.
How great to see FLOOR for the first time in several years.
-

What a great idea. That would have been nice when our children were young. Every day I am grateful for instant photos and videos, and most of all video chats.
-
It doesn't help though, and I expect DR Ginny can relate to this, the high numbers in Illinois are very scary. Bryan's hospital no longer provides masks that fit him. He has his own and can get more but I fear there will be a shortage again. While the number of cases at his hospital have been fairly low they now have trouble finding beds.
All the people complaining about wearing masks & refuse to wear them should try wearing an N95 during an entire shift >:(
-

Or for empty arms.

Congratulations on seeing the floor.

Glad you're making progress. I still need to work on my garage.
-
I think the Merchant-Ivory MAURICE and ROOM WITH A VIEW hold up quite well.
A Room with a View is one of my all-time favorites.
-
Watching something very different, Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys.
-
I really should have gotten a haircut several weeks ago. Now I am not sure I can get one. Salons are still open at a reduced capacity. My hairdresser just might be overbooked.
-
No haircut in nine or ten months. And I don’t see myself having one before my trip to Louisville.
-
What does that look like ;D
-
I will be able to donate it.
-
I think I've lost it completely as some of my afternoon "packing" music is the 1986 Cast Album of "Sweet Charity" with Debbie Allen. I despise "Sweet Charity"!!!
-
DR John G. is growing out his locks to participate in a modern re-telling of "The Gift of the Magi."
-
I think I've lost it completely
I don't see anyone rising to your defense! ;)
-

LOL - totally switched to the Carpenters
-
Where in tarnation IS everyone?
-
We'll always have
Paris Page 4.
-
Back from Gelson's - just a couple of things for tomorrow's food. But also got a few bay shrimp because if I didn't I would have eaten something that had calories, which I didn't want to do - shrimp is free so it was perfect.
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Let's get some postin' goin' on before I bust a gasket.
-
Hello.
-
I am going to read for awhile.
-
Good evening.
-
Hopefully, I will get my Covid test results sometime this week.
-
After the test, I stopped at Safeway on the way home.
-
The store was packed.
-
And everybody’s cart was full to the brim.
-
Since I hadn’t heard the bad news from our governor, I just figured people were gearing up for Thanksgiving.
-
That could have been part of it. I did see several turkeys hitching rides in a few carts, so who knows.
-
They had said that today we would be free of showers, but no such luck.
-
I don’t hunk I have anything to do tomorrow.
-
Well, I should go up to Freddie’s and get my niece a gift card for her birthday.
-
My sister and I were going to take her out of lunch on Tuesday to celebrate, but now we can’t dine out, so we will have to switch to plan B, or C, or D,.....
-
I guess George must’ve taking another nap tonight.
-
My poor sister is freaked out that she will have to cook something to eat for my niece’s birthday.
-
DR George, that TV saga was quite an adventure.
You said it!
-
Gratuitous Post #111!! :D
-
I guess George must’ve taking another nap tonight.
Nope! I have arrived...finally!
-
Tomorrow, I will let her off the hook and remind her that we can still get take-out food on Tuesday.
-
Or, even delivery.
-
I was actually doing some work for work, so I was on my work laptop while watching the series finale of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and then the first two episodes of B Positive, a new sitcom about a guy who needs a kidney transplant.
-
Good evening.
Hi, Tom.
-
I need to order a delivery from Safeway for sometime this week.
-
They had said that today we would be free of showers, but no such luck.
It was definitely raining this evening.

I am not sure I will return for episode 3 of B POSITIVE.
-
My poor sister is freaked out that she will have to cook something to eat for my niece’s birthday.
Well, she could just heat up some frozen foodstuffs and assemble something fairly palatable and presentable. ;)
-
Hello, George.
-
five!!!!!
-

What makes you think she has any frozen food stuffs?

I think I'll stick it out. I must admit that I don't think that it'll last too long, but I do like Annaleigh Ashford. She's another Broadway Baby who's made the leap to TV.

It was only a suggestion. She may not have any right now, but there's always the possibility of getting some just for the special occasion.

Now, that's pretty cool!

She is the main reason I won’t return to the show. I like Thomas Middleditch.

I know! That's why I checked it out with the 21-day check-out period. I don't know if it'll automatically be removed from my tablet, even if I don't turn on the wi-fi, like I do with my Kindle. We'll probably see!

I really like it, too. The first time that I saw it for sale on DVD was on eBay, and the only version was the Region 4 version from Australia. I bought it, and then I bought my first region-free DVD player.
