Title: 150 % AND ONWARD AND UPWARD TO INFINITY AND BEYOND
Post by: bk on April 05, 2021, 12:08:32 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes were at 150% and will hopefully climb onward and upward to infinity and beyond, and now it is time for you to post until the onward and upward cows come home.

Somebody put together a CD of HELLO, DOLLY!, that alterbnated all the Dollies doing different songs in the correct order. There was Carol and Mary and Pearl and Barbra and Phyllis Diller and Ethel and maybe Ann Miller.   It was very cool.

I had moments of sleep followed by kitty interruptions as well as the perennial pains in my legs. I had a long dream involving the little turd who sacked me from a project in 1991 because I was caught in the middle of his power struggle to oust the person in charge and take over the project, which he did. He also justified his sacking me for doing second-rate work to one and al, and I didn't work for two years until I read a Fanfare interview with an actor tuirned record producer named Bruce Kimmel, who was crazt enough to hire me for a Liz Callaway project.

That wasn't the dream; that was just the backstory.  In this dream, I was working on a recording with a lot of my colleagues from Toyland, and the person in charge was the little turd. I had to play nice and it was killing me.

Mikey is the one cat who won't eat tuna. Food in cans, treats, whatever. If it's tuna, he's not interested.

For him, the most exciting opening line in a book would be:
"The humans had once again left some pens and pencils on the desk."

I just did an hour and a half of bramble clearing. Mainly raspberries, which grow pretty crazy around here. While we love the few that we can pick and eat, they actually yield SO damned few berries that it's not worth all the pain of trying to walk around them the rest of the year in all the places they take root. But an hour and a half gets a lot of area cleared, so I did well today.

Now, you'd think I'd come back inside being a lot more comfortable on a day when it's only 60 degrees and breezy. Sadly, it doesn't work that way. No matter how nice the weather is while I'm out doing stuff like that. I sweat like a damned hog. Not that I'm so knowledgeable about how much hogs sweat. Does anyone know? Anyway, it's more comfortable while *doing* the work for the most part, but by the time I've done an hour or more of it, I'm a complete mess by the time I get back in the house.

152% and only 1100 away from our 12,500. Just got the cost estimates for the additional stuff and as I knew it would be it's expensive. We can definitely do the commentary for Tonight's the Night, but that basically takes us to what we'll clear after fees. If we continue to go up, then I can maybe add three commentaries on three Outside the Box episodes, which would be fun to do. And if we get to 12.5 then I can add the Dirty Harry uncut trailer, which I'd love to do, and can add two performances from the online Kritzerland shows, which would be fun - but the more we make the more we add. Right now, doing the Pure Audio Sandy Bainum ME thing is out of reach but who knows what will happen in the next two days.

And remember she didn't work in the accounting department, she worked in reservations - dammit!  It is most entertaining.

While we love the few that we can pick and eat, they actually yield SO damned few berries that it's not worth all the pain of trying to walk around them the rest of the year in all the places they take root. But an hour and a half gets a lot of area cleared, so I did well today.

Now, you'd think I'd come back inside being a lot more comfortable on a day when it's only 60 degrees and breezy. Sadly, it doesn't work that way. No matter how nice the weather is while I'm out doing stuff like that. I sweat like a damned hog. Not that I'm so knowledgeable about how much hogs sweat. Does anyone know? Anyway, it's more comfortable while *doing* the work for the most part, but by the time I've done an hour or more of it, I'm a complete mess by the time I get back in the house.



We won't ask for photographic evidence.

Oh, and just when I was sleeping nicely we had an EARTHQUAKE! At 4:45 am. The building shook and the windows rattled. Gawd!

Busy day. I hardly stopped.

I explain to people that I'm having surgery next week and this week is very busy in preparation, but they still seem to think I sit around with nothing to do. I suspect they THEY are sitting around with nothing to do!

I know that none of your DRs are like that!

It makes sense to me you would be busy getting things done before your surgery.

Is anyone watching ATLANTIC CROSSING on PBS? I watched the first episode. It was quite suspenseful. Looks like a good series.

Jane, I'll let you know as I proceed with THE RESTAURANT.

Thanks.  I have not seen ATLANTIC CROSSING.

I'm going to put up a few new perks, including a very funny note from Harvey Schmidt to me with "Vat is dis, fish?" in it. Also, signed letter to me from Ernest Gold, composer of Exodus. Also, a signed note to me from her nibs Georgia Gibbs. A long two-page handwritten note to me from Sheldon Harnick pertaining to his musical A Wonderful Life. But the main thing is, for fans of Benjamin Kritzer, my very first pass at writing the first twenty or so pages of the book. It's fascinating in how much changed after that and how early the Susan Pomeroy story happened.  I would later  move that a few chapters later, and then realize that that was, in fact, the story of the book, which then moved to part two of the book. No one has ever seen this, not even Muse Margaret, because by the time she got the first chapter I'd made the changes that I'd made in pen and only gave her the first ten or fifteen pages of what was then chapter one, which became the prologue. The name of Benjamin's brother changed, too. And yet, some of it is in the book exactly as written in these pages. Not sure what to ask for it, but it's going up shortly.

DR TCB when you have difficulty breathing have you found things you can do that help?


I sit up on the side of the bed.  I, also, use my inhaler, although it doesn’t seem to do much good.

Kroeger’s just had a TV commercial in which they said that they are vaccinating a million people a week.  I believe It.  I believe the entire million people were lined up in front of the check stand I was trying to get out from.
