Post by: bk on April 15, 2021, 12:09:32 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes soothed the savage beast, and now it is time for you to post until the savage cows come home.

Title: Re: MUSIC SOOTHES THE SAVAGE BEAST
Post by: George on April 15, 2021, 12:47:34 AM: BK, have you ever had a burger wrapped in lettuce instead of in a bun? That's keto friendly and more places are making that an option. I've gotten that at the local Red Robin quite a few times and it's pretty good...different, but definitely enjoyable. :)
Title: Re: MUSIC SOOTHES THE SAVAGE BEAST
Post by: bk on April 15, 2021, 01:40:56 AM: I did that once at In 'N' Out - wasn't really for me. That said, I am going to try my tuna with just lettuce serving as the bread to see how that feels. But for at least today I have to order in because I'm stuck here.

Title: Re: MUSIC SOOTHES THE SAVAGE BEAST
Post by: elmore3003 on April 15, 2021, 04:07:03 AM: I had a very restless night. My legs wouldn't settle down to let me sleep, and the painkillers did nothing. I turned off the lights between 9:15 and 9:30 and I was still awake when I took a bathroom break just before midnight. I fell asleep shortly after that, but I kept waking up. Thatch and Annabelle stayed with me all night, with appearances by Stella, who at one point was sleeping at the foot of the bed. She became pesky around 6:30, and I think she was reacting to the noisy garbage men outside the building.

I never cared much for Laurence Harvey.

Mia Farrow: ROSEMARY'S BABY is the only film that comes to mind. Thought it was quite good when it first came out, but I haven't seen it for many years.
Title: Re: MUSIC SOOTHES THE SAVAGE BEAST
Post by: Druxy on April 15, 2021, 07:58:21 AM: I'm pleased the announce the publication of JACK OAKIE, a one-person play, available in both paperback and Kindle editions via Amazon and elsewhere.

For those of you who are too young to remember Jack Oakie, he co-starred in many musicals during the 1930s-1940s (e.g. TIN PAN ALLEY, HELLO, FRISCO, HELLO), plus THE CALL OF THE WILD with Clark Gable...and Charlie Chaplin's revered film, THE GREAT DICTATOR.

I knew Jack Oakie back in the day, and I think I've captured his zany nature in my play.

Performance rights are available.

I’m with you. I’m okay with something room temp or cold (like salami or cheese) wrapped in lettuce, but a hot burger in lettuce is too messy.

It's going to come in, with the smog check, at around $430. Turns out not the alternator at all, but the coolant leaking out through a faulty hose and the heat valve broken. That was most of it.

I was just going to let that money go, since I knew they had staff to pay, etc. I was so glad that they credited the unused tickets to me.

I also have tickets for the Broadway series. I was not going to let that money go. That wouldn't have gone to the tours that had to cancel; it would have gone to the university.

Post by: John G. on April 15, 2021, 06:18:40 PM: Diane Keaton is the best thing in the cast, because she's not like anyone else or everyone else, so her emotions real true and her behavior is more natural.

Post by: John G. on April 15, 2021, 06:24:28 PM: This edit is better. Sofia Coppola is in it a lot less, and while she still irritates, she's a little less toxic. The plot is still a bit of a mess with too many strands and not enough of it interesting enough to make you want to tie them all together. The music from Carmine Coppola and Nino Rota is superb. Some of the supporting cast is great: Eli Wallach, Donal Donnelly, Talia Shire, even George Hamilton.

Several days ago I let two of my neighbors know that I was having surgery and asked if they could help with mail, as I would be unable to make it up or down the stairs. (Small apartment building with no elevator.) One of them brought a package up today, a box of soups and crackers.

Nice.

There were two shootings today in San Antonio. One on an overpass, the other at the airport relatively nearby. Don’t know if they’re related but the airport was on lockdown for a while. An officer shot and killed the gunman who had way too much ammo on him. Scary stuff.

The Washington Post did their own version. Haven’t read either yet. But I will take a look.

I will say everything sounds okay except the popcorn, which is the main ingredient. Popcorn shrimp are more appealing to me.

I have a friend Krista who is out of work because her mother died. I was in a meeting yesterday in which someone from another department made a snide comment about how long her vacation was. I was gobsmacked. Thankfully, someone who knew said something about letting Krista take the time she needed to handle her situation.
