Well, you've read the notes, the notes went to Indiegogoland, and now it is time for you to post until the Indiegogo cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: FELICITATE!
-
Can't wait to see what the Indiegogo perks are going to be!
-
Raining.
-
Good morning, friends.

~~~INDIEGOGO VIBES~~~ for bk!!
-
Oh, no!
-
Good morning, all!

I did not sleep well last night. Yesterday, when I was using the Big Ladder, I pulled something on my right side and for the remainder of the day my right arm throbbed. At one point I wqas sure it was a heart attack, but I noticed it was intermittent and quiet for long periods of time. The upshot is that I sleep on my right side, so it was not a pleasant night.
-
Last night I watched The Thin Man, a movie I haven't seen in at least 20 years. I really love Myrna Loy and William Powell, but I must say I cannot at all see how the dour, sour, and unpleasant Lillian Hellman inspired the characxter of Nora Charles.
-
DR singdaw, good news about your potential vaccination. Best wishes on getting an appointment.
-
DR TCB, I am very happy the collapsing shower head did not injure you, and I hope it will be repaired soon. I have had two painful experiences with departing doctors - one a shrink and the other my primary caregiver at my HMO - in which I literally threw myself on the floor, grabbed their legs, and begged them not to desert me that I was really upset and touched by your account of your retiring doctor. I hope his replacement treats you with such care.

Ditto. Is there a link yet?

Shower head vibes for TCB!
And more.

And so on we go.

INDIEGOGO vibes for MR BK.

Not much to report today......our sad season marches on. Not sure if anyone will want to buy tickets to attend.....even with socially distanced seating, etc. We shall see.

I'm not surprised to hear that the Boulez Lulu seems less compelling than the Böhm. It's a gross generality, but for all of Boulez's genius, the "general wisdom" used to be that his performances of other people's works were more analytical than inspired. They might very well be the most clinically precise study recordings for someone with their head buried in the score, but was the music better served by other conductors? On the other hand, he really was a conductor as well as a writer and composer. Like I said, a gross generality.

If you deal in gross generalities, sit next to me. 8)

In three hours I go in for my second Pfizer, but not my second Pfitzner.
For one brief shining moment, I will have more Pfizers than TCB has shower heads.
Well, it's something to think about.
-
This should also not be confused with Lee Fiser, a school friend who's the last surviving member of the LaSalle Quartet which had been the quartet-in-residence at UC CCM for many years.
-
I've spent the past hour redoing that blasted Chapter One of the A&T book again! I feel like a chihuahua giving birth to a St. Bernard.
-
BK, you might enjoy the Met video of the complete 3-act Lulu. I think this, Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites, and Kurt Weill's Mahagonny were the best productions of John Dexter during his run as director of productions.
-
That one's still on my watch pile for as soon as I can devote an evening to it. I saw it when first telecast, and years later when I first got the DVD, but not since.
-
Just how do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

TWO!!

DR ChasSmith - are we talking total showerheads, or working showerheads? 8)

Well, I didn’t know if the offending non-working one was still on the premises.

Elmore and any other Roberta fans out there, RogerEbert.com has an article on the use of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes in the movies. More informative than insightful, it was still an enjoyable read with plenty of clips.

And we're LIVE. Someone go grab the first perk and let's get this baby funded. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/tonight-s-the-night/x/9165600#/

I bought the signed Blu Ray!!!

Good Morning - I have my Wednesdays off again! I'm very excited by this. No more 7 days at week where I have to be somewhere for any period of time! Now it's just 6, but it is what it is. Using this day to catch up on a lot of things. We also have Friday off this week, so I'm hoping by Sunday, I'll be caught up. The boys are happy to have me home on a weekday - not that they know what that is, of course. They are knocked out at the moment. Last night I had a dream that I lost them (or one, can't remember) and I was so happy to wake up to them pinning me to the bed on either side. We played for a while this morning to make up for that lousy dream.
-
Congrats on having one day a week off of work.
-
7% of our goal. Slowly but surely - do grab early perks. More perks coming.
-
I realize this isn't one of those Rainbow Sherbet parodies that you all love, but I thought this 2020: THE MUSICAL with Jimmy Fallon and Andrew Rannells was pretty terrific.

I remember seeing this before. Very funny.

Nice, Matthew. A hump day that isn’t a hump.
-
Today is nonstop but it’s enjoyable in its craziness.
-
10% of our goal. Not bad! If we get to 20% that's a really good first day and great start. We can DO this!
-
Did anyone watch a Masterpiece presentation called The Miniaturist with Anna Taylor Joy of Emma. and the Queen’s Gambit?
-
A day off is good DR MATTHEW.
-
Congrats on 10% to MR BK.
-
I am going to try to make an omelet for dinner......we shall see what happens.
-
Oh, no!

Wednesday afternoon greetings! My sister and I virtually attended a virtual event and opened all the materials for our March 26-27 virtual crafty weekend. Someday maybe we’ll get to do this kind of thing in person again...

Is that based on the novel by Jessie Burton? I read it, but didn’t like it as much as I wanted to.
-

No. I considered reading it at one time, however, a friend on Goodreads gave it one star. DR Ginny also might have mentioned she didn't care for it.

16%! More please :)

PAGE THREE DANCE!!

Tracking pharmacy vaccine appointments through www.vaccinespotter.org
(http://vaccinespotter.org)(available for all states)
So far, the only available appointments are all over a two-hour drive away, but I like that it tells you appointment times and why type of vaccine you'd be getting. I'll keep refreshing.
Thanks for all the vibes!
-
I'm surprised the phrase "them's the burnt ends" hasn't made it into the popular lingo.
It should be more popular with the populace.
-
Potential for tornadoes and hail here.
Waiting for the frogs.
-
The frogs in the fog.
-
And why is fog as thick as pea soup, anyway?
-
I mean, I love pea soup.
-
Even thick pea soup.
-
I thought I heard knocking because I hadn't used gas with a high enough octane.
-
I guess the rain is done, since it's now sunny out.
-
17% and hoping for more. We're only five hours in, so it's not bad at all.

Thanks, TCB! That's great! I especially liked "And I'm Telling You..."

That's great, BK!

Listening to Ciboulette by Reynaldo Hahn - old-fashioned, of course, but not without charm and tunes.

Zooming at four.

Soon we will be booking a flight.

Here's a sweet story (with video) that I think Jane would really like:

Interesting. I was looking for a friend in Olympia who has not been able to find anything prior to her upcoming appointment at Kaiser. They postponed her original dates but have now confirmed her current date. She will be getting J&J. She has so many medical issues I think she would have preferred Pfizer or Moderna.

Awww, very sweet. Thank you George. Many Bernese Mountain Dogs swim. Mine didn't and it might be a good thing Heidy doesn't ;D

Well, this is interesting...Lou Ottens, Inventor Of The Cassette Tape, Has Died (https://www.npr.org/2021/03/10/975598869/lou-ottens-inventor-of-the-cassette-tape-has-died). I never thought about a single person inventing something like that, but evidently, there was.
-
81%. Slowly but surely - want to really get to 20% tonight. The first twenty-four hours of the Creature campaign got us over 30%, which was, of course, amazing and enabled us to reach our funding goal in four days.

True, yes, but of course, a librarian might also wonder if this is a real quote that Neil Gaiman made on April 15, 2014.
;)
-
Touche, DR George! :)
-
Started watching Let Him Go. Really solid work from Diane Lane and Kevin Costner, but the movie isn't what I thought it would be. And I'm not in the mood for what it is. Tomorrow night, I'll finish it.
-
Now for a bath.
-
Good night, friends.

19%! Puuuuushl.

Ahem. If only. Right?

A Question for BK: I chose the "Blu-ray, CD, sheet music perk." It isn't specified, so are the items in this perk not signed? I don't really mind, but I was just curious.

Yes, all signed. I'll add that - I did for the other perks.
-
20%! Puuuuush.

Gratuitous post No. 104!

I apparently can't count today.

Or is it that today doesn't count?

Woke up to some lousy news. A dance friend I competed with a couple of times died last night. It wasn't unexpected, but the news isn't welcome.

Good night, all.

Thank you for the positive responses to THE PIT AND THE SHOWERHEAD.

Hopefully the story will not keep you awake tonight, out of fear!
