I got a pretty good night of sleep, but around 5:00 this morning I started thinking, wouldn't it be nice if I had no cats so I could stay in bed as long as I wanted? I turned off the alarm, tried to sleep, vould not, and got out of bed at 6:00.  The three cays seemed to enjoy their breakfast, and I am pondering what I will have.

The exciting thing on today's agenda is an Amazon Fresh grocery delivery around 11:00. I want to work on Oh, Boy! for a bit, since I'm close to finishing up a piano score I'm creating from the full score.

We started watching Season 19 of Midsomer Murders last night. The little terrier Sykes, the true star of the show since Season 14, has died, and that was very sad. By the end of the program the Barnabys had adopted a new dog, Paddy.

I woke up at three in the morning for not much of a reason. Wasn't even a bathroom trip involved. But I laid there awake for nearly an hour, and when I woke this morning, guess what? I'd made up for that damn hour and "slept in" by that much. So here I am, bleary eyed, drinking coffee, and wondering what's up with this sunny day --

Like, wasn't it supposed to be raining? I know rain is coming tomorrow and Friday. Nope, just checked. Sunny and topping out at 72 today. Chilly and rainy the next two days. I'll get a little more outdoors work done today.

Title: Re: A DAY WITH A NICE SURPRISE
Post by: ChasSmith on April 14, 2021, 06:24:59 AM
The one dream I had concerned my having apparently been involved in a recording project taking place in the middle of the night. It followed that hour of wakefulness, and one of the other participants suggested we go out for a pre-dawn breakfast and coffee at this big diner-type place across the parking lot. I waffled (get it?) on that, knowing it would kill the rest of my night of sleep, so the thought of needing to get back to sleep was still with me, even though I was asleep. Oy.

Anyway, this "recording session" made no sense and I have no clue why I even had the dream, but the location of the place we'd been recording in, which wasn't a studio, but I don't know what it was -- and the nearby diner -- resemble the layout of a place in North Carolina that we've stopped a couple of times for an eating break and shopping.

I don't make this stuff up, folks.

More coffee!

I see there's a Prime Video of it included free with my membership. I never take advantage of that, so I'll just watch it there this time.

It seems that there are not one, but several Prime Videos of it available to watch, ranging in price from free to costing a few bucks. I guess that's all due to the HELL of something being in the public domain.

I am eating:

"Everything Sourdough Toast"

A large slice of sourdough, toasted, spread half with butter and half with cream cheese (for variety), sprinkled with this wonderful "Everything Bagel" seasoning that, quite literally, turns anything you want into tasting exactly like an everything bagel. It's one of the great food creations of our time, and toasted sourdough is a perfect foundation for it.

Stella escaped this morning, and I spent too much time this morning trying to coax her back into the apartment. Thatch, for the first time ever, decided to see what life existed beyond the door and he tentatively wandered out the door onto the door mat.  All I need now, I thought, is for Annabelle to make a dash for it as well.  As I closed the door, Thatch darted back inside. I decided I'd let Stella wander while I made the bed. When that was finished, I opened the door, and she strolled causally back into the apartment.

Back from Jiffy Lube. It was expensive - needed new wipers, and filters, which added 100 to the tally. It took about fifteen minutes. I pulled out, was heading to the Infiniti dealership to get a radiator cap, which was missing, and the car started chugging like crazy, the heat thing was in the red. So, I don't know what's what - I barely made it back home (five blocks). I'll let it sit for a while and see what happens, otherwise I'm gonna have to have it towed to my service place and I don't need this aggravation right now. I think we need really strong vibes and xylophones for this and the end of the week, seriously.

Good morning - It's Wednesday, ketch-up day, which I shall be doing a lot of up until the late hours of the evening.

In vacation news - my travel buddies and I decoded to spend an extra day at Walt Disney World - because our plans kept getting shifted due to Alaska's Airlines changing the schedule. So, I was able to change my return flight to the next day (no charge) and was able to get another night at the resort I'm staying in - however, not the same room so I may need to move on the last night.  I'm hoping as we get closer, I'll phone the resort and see if they indeed can combine the two reservations.  I'm ok either way.  But I'm glad that's all taken care of.

No, she and Annabelle both have lousy senses of direction. They wander off to other floors and don't know where they are. I was relieved that I did not have to get the walker and track her from floor to floor.

Back from the mechanic place. I asked them to please make it as cheap as possible. The tow guy was super nice - he thinks it's the alternator, but when I mentioned that to the mechanic, he just laughed and said tow guys are not mechanics. So, I'll hear from them when they figure out what it is. Praying it's not too costly. Then the tow guy nicely drove me back home.

Here is a link that has some tidbits about Teenagers From Outer Space......  Scarlet Street ran a very nice article on it several years ago.

https://cultfilmalley.com.au/2019/08/07/tom-graeffs-teenagers-from-outer-space/

The director Tom Graeff played the newspaper reporter Joe under the name Tom Lockyear......and he and David Love - the hero - were lovers in real life......and the dialog was prerecorded and the actor's talked back to the recording to save dubbing costs or something.....

The making of the movie is more interesting than the movie - although I have kind of a soft spot for it...... because of the relationship between Derek and Betty.  [most of the links in the article no longer work.....]

Thank you for all the lovely vibes. The surgery went smoothly, my rides were on time, and I am now home. when I spoke to the office yesterday they told me to come in 45 minutes later than scheduled because they expected the doctor would need more time with this first patient. That made things a little easier to me.

I'm not in any pain, but I do feel rather wiped out. I went to bed early last night, but woke three times, for a total of 6 hours sleep. It's always difficult to get a good night when I have surgery -- or a trip for that matter -- the next day. I look forward to a few days of R&R. I'd like to say no political news, nothing negative, but I know that won't happen. I've been watching "Death in Paradise" and pretending that I'm down in the Caribbean.

Jeanne beat me to the punch - I got waylaid with more telephonic calls and such.  We had a nice chat when she got home and she said she was feeling better than she thought she'd be, so that's good. I'll check up on her again.

Thank you for all the lovely vibes. The surgery went smoothly, my rides were on time, and I am now home. when I spoke to the office yesterday they told me to come in 45 minutes later than scheduled because they expected the doctor would need more time with this first patient. That made things a little easier to me.

Very good news, Jeanne!  Thanks for the update!

Well, it's time for me to head out and feed some cats...not mine, of course.  Tonight's the last night that I need to.  Margo and her daughter come home tomorrow.

Be back later.

Today we went to the aquarium were I didn't need a coat.  It was Freyja's first visit and it was fun to watch her reactions.

Vibes for DR TCB's sister, from one face-planter to another!

When I was young the face planting did a lot less damage.

Back from the mechanic place. I asked them to please make it as cheap as possible. The tow guy was super nice - he thinks it's the alternator, but when I mentioned that to the mechanic, he just laughed and said tow guys are not mechanics. So, I'll hear from them when they figure out what it is. Praying it's not too costly. Then the tow guy nicely drove me back home.

That was very nice of the tow truck guy.

Margo's cats have always been aloof, but maybe because everyone's been gone (including Margo's fairly new dog), her cat has been more friendly and has (finally) let me pet her!

And she didn't must let me scratch her with one finger like that.  This was after a couple of minutes of pretty thorough head scratching and much purring. :)

Here is a link that has some tidbits about Teenagers From Outer Space......  Scarlet Street ran a very nice article on it several years ago.

https://cultfilmalley.com.au/2019/08/07/tom-graeffs-teenagers-from-outer-space/

The director Tom Graeff played the newspaper reporter Joe under the name Tom Lockyear......and he and David Love - the hero - were lovers in real life......and the dialog was prerecorded and the actor's talked back to the recording to save dubbing costs or something.....

The making of the movie is more interesting than the movie - although I have kind of a soft spot for it...... because of the relationship between Derek and Betty.  [most of the links in the article no longer work.....]


I always confuse that film with THE SPACE CHILDREN.
