Title: I SMELL LIKE A ROASTED GARLIC
Post by: bk on August 05, 2021, 12:18:41 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes smelled like roasted garlic, and now it is time for you to post until the smelly cows come home.

Title: Re: I SMELL LIKE A ROASTED GARLIC
Post by: George on August 05, 2021, 12:31:46 AM: I remember really liking Witness when I saw it. And it was one of the first (if not the first) times that I saw Patti LuPone on the big screen, playing his sister.

Title: Re: I SMELL LIKE A ROASTED GARLIC
Post by: elmore3003 on August 05, 2021, 03:42:20 AM: I had lots of dreams but I only remember bits of the last. I was working at Goodspeed on something while they were preparing a production of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well . . . The stage manager was my friend Laura Krause, who had been my internon two shows at the New York State Theatre Institute. I awoke with "Les Timides" (Timid Frieda) running through my head.

WTF?

Title: Re: I SMELL LIKE A ROASTED GARLIC
Post by: ChasSmith on August 05, 2021, 05:59:53 AM: I was thinking about Witness lately, when watching a couple of other films of Peter Weir. I always think back to my first viewing of it at the Bruin with friends, and how we were blown away by it. But I even enjoyed an additional layer of blown-away-ness by having just spent a couple of weeks in our office in the outskirts of Philly, and having explored that very Lancaster County / Amish country on my own a few times. I'd fallen completely in love with the beauty of the place, the food, and being around the people to the small extent that an outsider can be. It's now been too many years since I've driven over and spent any time there, and I look forward to making up for that.

Post by: ChasSmith on August 05, 2021, 06:03:02 AM: DR Elmore -- that Amazon Fresh delivery is ALWAYS way earlier than the window they give you, isn't it? I wonder why it's so consistent in that way.

This is great news, and now I'm excited at the prospect of finding mine at the front door soon. I deliberately didn't think about it much after the campaign closed, so now it's a thrill knowing it's time for things to arrive.
Title: Re: I SMELL LIKE A ROASTED GARLIC
Post by: ChasSmith on August 05, 2021, 06:10:59 AM: I hope DR Jrand70 will be able to drop in and give us an update on The Situation in Indiana. I was also curious as to the age of the pianist, since she'd had her first shot and was only about to get her second. Oy! Hoping for the best, even though I'm not sure what that best should consist of.

I must be first on their route. I always request 9-11 since I need time to get my small apartment in order. My very first Amazon Fresh deliver arrived at 8:20, and the others until now have arrived between 8:45 and 9:15.

Title: Re: I SMELL LIKE A ROASTED GARLIC
Post by: singdaw on August 05, 2021, 07:11:55 AM: I would not mind if someone smelled like roasted garlic. In fact, I have smelled like roasted garlic myself once or twice.

Post by: John G. on August 05, 2021, 07:22:42 AM: I thought I saw Lukas Haas’s name in a review last week. Can’t remember the movie, but he was playing a villain.
Title: Re: I SMELL LIKE A ROASTED GARLIC
Post by: ChasSmith on August 05, 2021, 07:23:15 AM: So as luck will have it (and it will, it will), I'm the latest target for early arrivals. My time frame for the furnace guy was noon to 2 pm, but they called at 9:45 to say the technician had time available due to a cancellation, and could he come over and do it earlier? In this case, of course, they always call to ask, and getting it over with this morning was totally fine by me. So I said yes, and they said he'd be there in half an hour. Then he showed up only 20 minutes later, but that was fine, too. So here we are. And here I sit while he gets the job done.
Title: Re: I SMELL LIKE A ROASTED GARLIC
Post by: John G. on August 05, 2021, 07:24:58 AM: Haas is in Midnight in the Switchgrass, the latest Bruce Willis flick.

Post by: ChasSmith on August 05, 2021, 07:30:25 AM: There's more!

Earlier I got an automated call from the pharmacy asking if I want to refill my prescription. That's new because I still have ten days left and they always used to wait till the last minute. (It's supposed to be an automatic refill, but whatever.) So they said it would be ready after 2 pm tomorrow. Half an hour later, I got a call saying my refill is ready to pick up.

Title: Re: I SMELL LIKE A ROASTED GARLIC
Post by: Jrand74 on August 05, 2021, 07:41:32 AM: The pianist is a recent college graduate, so my best guess is that she is 22-23 years old.

Of course, like Shirley Temple, I am trying to be optimistic and hope that we get a NEGATIVE result on the substantial test.....

If not.....well it's continued quarantine and testing for all.

They are very similar stories in that a single person has to "science the shit" out of his extreme situation to stay alive. I think I liked The Martian better only because it was the first, but I really did like Project Hail Mary.

DR George, Keith & I both finished Project Hail Mary. I didn't want to say anything until you had finished it. We both liked it very much. Did you prefer The Martian to this? I do plan to read it now.

They are very similar stories in that a single person has to "science the shit" out of his extreme situation to stay alive. I think I liked The Martian better only because it was the first, but I really did like Project Hail Mary.

Interesting theory about why you like The Martian better. Eventually I will find out which I prefer.

We went to Ohio’s North Coast (Lake Erie) to complete the paper crafting shop hop in Sandusky, Toledo, and Oak Harbor. We stayed in Port Clinton and there will soon be some proof our spectacular view on my Facebook page.

So as luck will have it (and it will, it will), I'm the latest target for early arrivals.
…

Add us to the list, DR ChasSmith! Just as we pulled into town this afternoon, we received a call from the company doing our basement work. They’ve received a cancellation, so our project will begin Monday at 8am. We’re not as ready as we’d like to be, but there it is.

I am most happy with the DECADES Channel. At Noon we get two episodes of The Lucy Show & and at 1 p.m. we get two episodes of I Love Lucy.

The Ricardos and Mertzes in Hollywood right now - some of my favorite episodes!

Yesterday we saw Lucy at the Don Loper salon....and I know coming up next week sometime will be Ricky needs an agent!

You can listen for my laugh on The Lucy Show. ;D

Similisan Dry Eye Relief. It helped noticeably better than the conventional eye drops I use.

My DH is on the soundtrack of Working Girl. They used the St. Thomas Fifth Avenue (NYC) choir of men and boys, and they were all at the recording sessions with Carly Simon.

He still gets small residual checks every once in a while.

That is very cool!!

I have finally come to the conclusion that it would be best to cancel the show. It shows our audiences that we care about them and about our casts.

With the numbers going up and mandates coming back on....I think it is the responsible thing to do. I am sad to say it - but that's what I feel.... I don't want anyone else to get sick! I don't want someone in the audience to get Covid - even if he is an idiot and has not been vaccinated.....I don't want it to rest on us just because we want to do the show.
