Well, you've read the notes, the notes were underscored with real film music, and now it is time for you to post until the underscored cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: IMPUNITY!
-
BK, where's that flyer (as mentioned in your notes)?
-
I agree wholeheartedly with everything bk said in the Notes about film music today.
-
Good night, again, DR George.
-
Good night, Singdaw.
-
Flyer's there now.
-
Good morning, all!

Last night was not a good night of sleep. I was up too much, and the bits of dreams I can remember were all about missed buses, driving on country roads and not knowing where the hell I was, etc.
-
I am back to Oh, Boy! today after too long a break. I will spend most of my weekend on that.
-
Last night the cats and I watched a movie I had never seen before, Tammy and the Bachelor, because Mildred Natwick is in it. I wasn't crazy about it, but I liked the cast. I loved the goat.

Good morning, everyone.
-
Kitty cleanup is finished, I've ordered a grocery delivery for tomorrow morning, and I need to take the trash to the basement.
-
I dreamt about attending a church meeting.
-
The main focus seemed to be on eating donuts.
-
And then there was a strange interlude about plowing a field.

Better than strange intercourse.

Are you sure it wasn't a police station?

Love that!

That looks to be 20 lanes per side. Nightmare!
-
Golly gee! Page 2!!
-
I don't think bike lanes are included....
-

Sadly, city studies show adding lanes to already congested areas only increases congestion.
-
I absolutely could not fall asleep last night.
I read a little bit, both online and offline. Then I laid there with TCM on at very low volume, listening to (but only putting my glasses on to watch a few key scenes, because how can you not?) Psycho and North by Northwest, just to get drowsy. That must have finally worked because I woke later to something a little bit familiar that I recognized as RoboCop but it turned out to be RoboCop 2 which I don't think I'd ever seen. That was in the middle of the night and I turned the TV off. A little while later I was awakened by a slight "ching" as I turned in bed and adjusted the covers, flinging my glasses onto the carpet. I'm always very careful about where I put them before going to sleep, but in the wee hours I'd apparently just taken them off and laid them on top of the comforter.
Anyway, boys and girls, that's my story.
-
I somehow had to read a lot of traffic theory for a grad class. I don’t remember what the subject of the class was.
-
Maybe Los Angeles needs more highways like this one!
That's an amazing image.
-
Apparently it's a new highway from Beijing to Hong Kong. I have not independently verified that.
-
I was only being facetious, DR John G., but I do believe you.
-
This made me think of some of our DRs...
-
I was only being facetious, DR John G., but I do believe you.
People not knowing where they're going, changing lanes and causing speed fluctuations are part of the problem. In other words, people, not cars, cause congestion. Go figure.
-
I was a bit annoyed at the COOL link posted yesterday.....turning the song into a bunch of solo dances kind of lessens the value and intent of the piece.....it also pretty much destroys the build to the end......
-
I was watching some TCM myself....I have also done the glasses flip that was described by DR CHAS SMITH.
-
I did buy myself a small plastic basket to put the remotes in (TV, cable, Blu Ray player) and that is where my glasses spend their night.....the basket itself sets on the bed to my left.....
-
I haven't looked at the basketball games being broadcast today, so I shall check that out soon.

The first chapter of my Annabelle and Thatch book is driving me mad, but I think I'm getting vloser to cracking it. I just spent the last hour wrestling with it. I'm very happy with the rest of the book, but I'm not yet sure I've replaced "Love is in the Air" with "Comedy Tonight!"

Comedy Tonight. Could be the title of my autobiography, only without the fun.
-
I finished season 1 of Great British Baking Show. Well, at least the season that was on pbs.org.
-
I finally ordered a patio umbrella. I now need to go get a stand.
-
And that's life on the ranch.
-
Yes, please.
-
And, after you eat them, this happens:
-
Yes, please.
I liked them but also found them really, really sweet. Which isn't a bad thing for most.

My masochistic side is showing in my reading material. For some reason, I have started The Mysteries of Udolpho, a 19th century novel said to be the first Gothic novel. It's 600 pages and I'm almost 100 pages into it, but it's slow going. And repetitive. But I'm oddly fascinated by it.
-
But I need to run some errands.
-
From DR Singdaw:
Many people don't know that in Stephen Foster's first draft, the song title was I Dream of Jane with the Light, Frizzy Hair.

I was wondering.

And then you'll move on to The Castle of Otranto or Varney the Vampire? About ten years ago I was asked to orchestra a musical of The Monk. Welcome to Northanger Abbey!

I am contemplating a nap.

Not in short order. I still have 1,200 pages of The Tale of Genji to finish up. One of these days.
-

Just up from one, which I took instead of doing errands. Time for those errands.

I ended up sorting cans of cat food for the past hour. My 2nd floor neighbor Katie's cat will be getting some Fancy Feast my cats lately refuse to touch.

Good Afternoon. Home from proctoring the virtual Academic Decathlon at school this morning. Cold (because the heat wasn't on in the classroom) but fun. We find out at 4:00pm how everyone did. I got someone to cover my mass this afternoon, so I'm home with the boys for the rest of the day. I'm having issues with iCloud. I use it to port over things I've done on the "studio" computer to the "editing" computer.... and somehow, one of said computers is not cooperating, and I'm not sure which one. I think it's the "studio" computer. Trying to be patient, but it's par for the course that things don't want to work if there is a deadline looming and I just have to get something done.
-
The Mistake Waltz was a great hit on my FAcebook page today - as well it should be.
Several folks had never seen it.
-

I would listen to that.

I ran into an old friend today at Trader Joe's. Kathy and her husband Frank used to invite me over to her annual Christmas Eve dinners and Halloween parties. It was just nice to see her, learn that both her husband and her are doing well, and that her life was going on regardless of covid.
-
then I came home, planted the basil and parsley I had bought, and started into some heavy-duty gardening. Sawing takes a lot out of you. But in an hour, I had my green barrel full for Monday's pickup. And only made in dent in some of the dead wood back there.
-
The annual Empty Bowls fundraiser for one of the charities that feeds and houses people is tomorrow. I used to love to get there early and browse the tables set up filled with pottery from local artisans. For each bowl you bought, all of the money went to the charity and you got a bowl of soup to go.
Every year, I'd see a lot of friends I hadn't seen for awhile, and we'd sit down for a bowl of soup.
In the covid age, you give the charity money online, you get to pick out two bowls online and you get to pick them up at a drive-thru. The two soups are in to-go containers on the side. Masks required. It's all good, just different. The charity still gets the profits.
-
I'm up, I'm up - ten hours of sleep. All caught up, I think, but have had to play catch up since arising.
-
Picked up a package, a screener I already had, had Casa Vega for food - one taco and one chicken burrito - and now I can finally relax until the Zoom thing, if my Claritin-D kicks in soon.
-
Settling in for the next three hours with Rusalka from the Met.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
I enjoyed both the Mistake Waltz and Cool. We are so used to seeing shows on stage with sets that I found it quite interesting to see the dances in real settings. Granted, it's not ideal, but during Covid we do need to think creatively.
-
I am reading Barry Maitland's DARK MIRROR. I like Maitland's work. He's a competent writer and his stories are all a little different from the norm.

Not as much fun, but it's good that they're flexible and still having it. I have no doubt that the need is even greater this year.
-
As you can see, I have no news.
TTFN.

While not as fun I think it is great they found a way to keep the charity event.
-
Yes, please.
Someone brought these into the office last year...they were sooooo good
-
Generally I get phone calls from the Vixter or Vixhubby asking me how to cook something or other
-
But today I wanted to make the soup recipe that the Vixter made up when she was living here
-
There was a sale on a Campari tomatoes and red peppers at the market this morning and I knew they were the main ingredients
-
So I’ve been calling her for advice instead
-
Then I spent a good half hour trying to locate my immersion blender
-
I looked where it was supposed to live then went through every kitchen cabinet and the downstairs pantry
-
I finally found it...exactly where it was supposed to be, in the first place I looked
-
I hate it when that happens. 8)
-
Hope you enjoy the soup, DR vixmom!
-
My immersion blender has died, and I need to replace it.
-
Four, by the way.
-
Soon to ensue: the endless online review comparisons. Everyone contradicts each other.
-
Perhaps I'll see what America's Test Kitchen has to say.
-

;D
I have done that too many times.
-
Good night, everyone.
-

This happened to me twice this week, once with my immersion blender.
-
I’m loving the music of Rusalka, the singing, the staging. Everything but the libretto. How perverse is it to have a leading lady who is mute too much of the time? Her true love is an ass almost from the beginning, so you don’t like Rusalka because of her bad taste in men. That leaves her father as the only sympathetic character.

I think I didn't move my immersion blender from Ashland to here. I should look ;)

OK, one more version of the national anthem, this time with the band from the Kit Kat Klub in Cabaret.

Watching a twisted little flight called Climax from some Euro celeb director named Gaspar Noe. A bunch of dancers get together for a project and somebody drops LSD in the sangria. The dancing is good and well filmed, but the trip is not fun.
-
Zoom session finished and we're off until Monday now, having done all we need to do in two rather than three days.

It’s obvious an immersion blender conspiracy

I was thinking the same thing. And it took out Singdaw's, too.
-
It's about time for bed.

Wish I had something interesting to say.
-
I've started looking for information on replacing my central heating and air unit. This unit was here when I moved in 20 years ago. I was told it was time to replace about two years ago.
-
I need to get some estimates, but I don't like the reviews I've read from folks in the area.
-
Gratuitous post No. 110!
-
Good night, all.

You wouldn't want that to need replacing in the middle of a heat wave or cold spell.

Oh gosh! Still page four.

And the clock is ticking.

Yesterday I watched on the Broadway Channel, Gene Kelly and Cyd in BRIDGE OF DOOM. I hadn’t seen in at least forty years.

Amazon Prime currently has several movie musicals, bu they want you to rent them.
-
Interesting you can watch an almost current production of CAROUSEL, OKLAHOMA and THE KING AND I for free.
-
However, if you want to see the 65year old film version, you have to pay $3.99 each to watch them.
-
I think that is just crazy.
-
This made me think of some of our DRs...

They'll (try to) take your money any way they can. ::)

Tonight I was planning on watching the film version of FINNIAN’S RAINBOW (only $1.99): but I got waylaid by a JFK assassination film instead.
-
Oh well, there is always tomorrow.
-
Yes, please.
(http://www.haineshisway.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=6429.0;attach=11468)
I saw those at Costco. I almost bought them, but I didn't. I have so many other snacky bits that I really didn't need these...well, I didn't need to add these to the pile.
-
I need to watch JERSEY BOYS, too.
-
And this month, we have the movie version of CAMELOT.
-
I know it isn’t everyone’s cup of Joe, but I love the film.

You're not alone. My cousin John and his wife Angel (who live in Oregon) both LOVE this movie.
