Well, you've read the notes, the notes were drowsy, and now it is time for you to post until the drowsy cows come home.

And the word of the day is: RADIANT!

Really looking forward to seeing Sami, BK!

Good morning, all!
-
I'm waiting on an Amazon Fresh delivery this morning. I'm now selecting the earliest delivery time slot for convenience,
-
My pollen allergies kicked my butt last night, and I slept very poorly.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
This day is already flying by, like a gazelle crooning "The Times of Your Life" with Paul Anka.
-
Or "The Tines of Your Life" by the Pastaman.
-
Are zombified fish like gefilte fish?
-
What are they, fish?
-
The Pastaman lives in Drury Lane.
-
Right next door to the Muffin man.
-
If you want carbs, they're your go-to folks.

Reading the Verdi book. It starts with a very long chapter about Verdi's life, and how intertwined it was with Italian statehood. And his long battle with censors. But it also briefly encapsulates the entire history of the development of Opera. Verdi and Wagner somewhat overlapped. They were each trying out different methods of music drama.
-
Sangria popsicles. What a great idea!
-
I can make them outside, since we're expecting snow showers today.
-
On the other hand, there's always this strawberry pretzel cheesecake cheeseball...

Say THAT ten times fast!

Say FAST ten times that.

In the meantime...
-
Who wants to ride this electronic alpaca with sausage-grilling arms?
-
I mean, what WILL they think of next?
-
Excited for Sami.
-
That's what I'm talking about.

It sounds like the actors will be seeing it for the first time, just like us regular folks.

Give me all the "p"s....

pasta

potatoes

Two.

-
The band's all here!
-
Ready to play your wedding or bar mitzvah.
-
George, thank you! I have sent it in DM.
Also I need yours, please.
-
Vixdad does not care for pasta in any way shape or form
-
But yesterday I made a potato soup that came out really well.
-
I had a ham bone with a goodly amount of meat still left
-
I trimmed off the meatiest bits but left some on
-
Then I made a stock from the bone
-
Then I strained that out, discarded the bone and remnants and shredded the meat and set that aside.
-
Then I peeled and sliced some golden potatoes and cooked them in the stock until they were nearly mush
-
Then I used my immersion blender to make them all smooth and nice
-
Then I added the shredded ham
-
And a little butter
-
I didn’t use any other spices or seasonings
-
It was the best potato soup I ever made
-
Or have ever eaten for that matter
-
If I d say so myself
-
And apparently I just did
-
The best part is….there’s enough left over for dinner tonight
-
Guess I should Wordle

That sounds absolutely delicious, DR vixmom.
-
And I'll have DH vixdad's serving of pasta.
-
Since, you know, I wouldn't want it to go to waste.
-
I'm thoughtful that way.
-
If I do say so myself.
-
And I just did.
-
I did done it, indeed.
-
THREE.
-
Three is a magic number.
-
With three, you get half an eggroll.
-
Have any of our DRs seen Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on stage?
-
Good morning, all.
-
I survived a night of thunderstorms and a short power outage.
-
Apparently there were flash flood warnings.
-
I need to stir, I guess.
-
Not shake.

Good morning, all.
-
I will be out and about today, handing off music to someone, working on a few songs with someone else, running a few errands, that kind of thing.
-
I thought of another "p" I like: peanut butter.
-
Sorry about the storms, DR John G. Flash flooding is dangerous.
-
The mighty Mississippi and the Saint Croix rivers are cresting here and flooding low-lying areas.

Some areas are being plagued with "flood tourism."

People wanna see for themselves.

And they get in the way.

Just don't.

Good morning, especially to singdaw and vixmom whose herculean efforts have put us well into page 3.
-
I suppose it is still Friday, as it was when I posted very early this a.m., SC time.
I had an idea of doing various things today, but right now, it's unlikely I'll work up the energy to do any of them.
Maybe, though, something will get done.
-
I had a very good CPAP night. I remember that I had pleasant dreams, but nothing that I can now recall of them.

I had a very good CPAP night.
That is good!

Indeed.

Congrats to DR GEORGE on his millstone!
-
DR singdaw I have a feeling I'm going to see some of that choreography in GREASE!
-
I of course had to watch the additional video....Dream Feet.
-
After all that pasta talk yesterday, I think I am going to use my leftover sloppy joe to make some mac & SJ.
I hope I have some Bow Tie pasta, so it will be formal.
-
Almost time for SAMI!
-
No bow ties.....but I did have some rotini....so it is now on the stove and will nice and warm for lunch on this rainy day.
I am glad I mowed the lawn yesterday.
-
Chaos over at Twitter today, apparently. I don't wish them well.
-
DR singdaw I have a feeling I'm going to see some of that choreography in GREASE!
And in your dreams, er, nightmares.

Some areas are being plagued with "flood tourism."
I wonder about these people.

It isn't raining today which is a nice birthday treat.

DR Jane, if you ate Keith's entire cake, would that cause you to gain weight?
-
HAPPY HHW BIRTHDAY WISHES to DH Keith!!!!!!
Thank you.
-
DR Jane, if you ate Keith's entire cake, would that cause you to gain weight?
Possibly, depends how sick I got after eating all of the cake-lol

I'm up, I'm up - maybe five hours of sleep.

Have any of our DRs seen Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on stage?
I haven't, but I read the published script. I really liked it.
-
I'd love to see it on stage someday.

Oh, look! It's Page Five! :D
-
Some areas are being plagued with "flood tourism."
People wanna see for themselves.

-
And they get in the way.
That's the worse part. :P
-
Years ago, I'd heard that some people like to follow fire trucks to watch the "action," and they also get in the way.
-
Once when I was young my mother asked if I wanted to follow the fire truck. It was exciting. Once we got close we turned as not to be in the way. The exciting part was following the truck, not to watch a fire.

I finished No. 13B, the dancing Academy Awards in 5/4 time, always 3+2. In Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty, if I remember correctly, the 5/4 number is always 2+3.

I spend so much time on Far Right Wing sites like Marjorie Toilet Greene that I get ads from Trumper sites like "Donald Trump is My President." This site the other days sent me a "Can donald Trump Save America?" My comment was this:
A fat, orange, ignorant, and inept businessman named Trump with no morals, no humanity, and no decency ruined this country because MAGA morons believed his bilge.
Well, an hour later I received the notification that this site liked my post! Hahahahaha!
-
The older I get, the less tolerant I seem to get.
And yet, the kinder I am about calling someone a moron.
But even I could not be tolerant about T-rump.

Friday afternoon greetings! The guys who are working on our house were here for a couple of hours this morning and won't be back until Monday. Richard and I have reclaimed our almost-complete family room and he's enjoying being able to watch TV from his recliner.

On This Day in 1934, UK's The Daily Mail printed a photograph reportedly depicting the Loch Ness monster.
The iconic image sparked an international sensation, but was later revealed to be a hoax.

Picking up pizza for tonight.
From this place, which I think will be our third time: https://bit.ly/3ozo5Tm
Very similar to the Connecticut style. (And why have any other? I ask you.)
It's also pricey (for around here) and they give their pizza silly names, but boy oh boy is it good.

Gas at BJ's: $3.35 today.
Been going up a few cents every couple of days. And we won't even get to the big Memorial Day jump for another month.

Isn't there something in which it goes back and forth?
What's the Pathetique? 2+3, right? And it doesn't change?
Love 5/4.

Happy birthday to Keith.

Back from a nice lunch with David Wechter.

Had a Cobb salad.

Need to get ready to go dancing.

Got a half-inch of rain last night. A lot of plants are perky today.
-
One of the new ones even started showing small yellow blossoms.
-
Finishing up The 1619 Project. Excellent stuff.

I can see why it makes so many people mad.

And it should.

Today was Needle Day (acupuncture), then a stop for a burrito.

Now I need a nap.

I've been rewatching FOYLE'S WAR.

Re Vixmom's story about her mother and the medallion, could Alexa call 911? That might be more acceptable to some than wearing the medallion.
-
Some health insurance plans provide a medallion free. Don't know the details, but it's part of some Medicare Advantage plans.

Are the chickens individually named, by the way?

Thank you.

We just returned from dinner.
-
Since the restaurant is so close to Fred Meyer we stopped in for a few things.
-
Tonight for Keith's birthday viewing we are going to watch The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die.
-
It is the tv movie sequel to the tv series.

I'm on episode three of this vile remake of Dead Ringers, truly one of the most horribly bad, misguided, and disgusting things I've ever seen. I'm sure they're all patting themselves on the back for their brilliance. You want brilliance, watch the David Cronenberg movie. This is like a bunch of high school girls got together and said let's see how gross we can be - every other word is the eff word, so that it literally has no purpose, and for all of the close-ups of vaginas and birth and c-sections, and forceps and embryos, it's not one-tenth as creepy as the original. The first problem is, of course, the gender switch. Jeremy Irons as twin gynocologists is creepy because - they're MEN. Women isn't on that level, I'm afraid, but they make one of them a Lesbian - ooh, how cutting edge. All the endless padding and additions are ludicrous. The woman who "created" this for television, one Alice Birch, a Brit playwright and TV and film writer, is on my "NEVER WATCH ANYTHING BY THIS PERSON" list, right at the very top. The dialogue is horrible, well, everything is horrible, including the direction. I don't think anyone has ever accused David Cronenberg of being subtle, but his Dead Ringers is so effective because he's a brilliant director and writer and he knows when and where to shock - it's not arbitrary like the remake, which is, as I said at the top, vile Everyone loves Rachel Weisz - I've enjoyed a couple of her performances, but I hate her in this. Part of it is the writing, of course, but her choices are just so actorish, especially the obnoxious and noisy way she eats as Elliot - that was almost enough for me to turn it off. I'll stick it out because I want to see just how low and sickening these amateurs can go.
-
DR Rodzinski I hope there has been progress on your family situation.
Thank you. Mrs R is getting better. Her mom is still at the hospital, dad still sick at home. We’re trying to figure out long-term care for them.
At least someone is doing better. How are the Rodzinski children doing?
The kids are great!

I saw a quote recently someone talking about new Lord of the Rings movies and saying, “ I know they’ll do right by the franchise.”
It’s not a franchise! It’s a series of books. Someone made successful movies based on them but let’s not turn it into Star Wars where every character gets a spin-off.
-
Night Jane!
-
You get a spinoff. And you get a spinoff.

Why aren't you playing Phase 10? It's Friday night!
I'm at rehearsal:
-
And you don't have chickens to attend to.
Chicken duty was cancelled due to bad weather.
-
I'll need to do it some time next week.
-
Are the chickens individually named, by the way?
Yes, every one of them has a name (I don't know what they all are, though).
-
They were all named after famous actresses of the early to mid 20th century.
-
No one here but us chickens.
-
Yes, we arson.
Me like. Mini-haha.
-
Good night of dancing.
-
Watching Villain. Not good. But good performances. Richard Burton, Ian McShane, Cathleen Nesbitt and some familiar British faces. But sadistic and dull.
-
Not a good combination.
-
Gratuitous post 252!
-
Started listening to the original tale of Pinocchio. It’s very much not like Disney. Geppetto has anger management issues. The cricket, aka Jiminy, is so irritating to our wooden hero that he smashes him to death. And this is in the first few chapters.
-
Good night, all.
-
Finished the hideous remake of Dead Ringers and began watching the Cronenberg, which is great.
-
Must write some notes.
-
It must be done.
-
Once again, George deserts us.
-
No posts in over an hour.
-
Down some damn rabbit hole, I'm sure.
-
Most unseemly.
-
He's not even here.
-
He's there.
-
I, on the other hand, am here.
-
As you can plainly see.
-
Unseemly and unsightly.
-
At least I can plainly see it because - I'm here.
-
George is NOT here.
-
Bur Rodzinski is, to save the day, like Mighty Mouse.
-
And to 10 we go!
-
The waffle I ate is feeling lumpy in the tumpy.
-
Page ten has arrived
-
Which is more than we can say for George.
-
Down some damn rabbit hole.
-
But we've got five minutes left.
-
You never know what might happen in five minutes.
-
I could eat a churro in five minutes if I had a churro.
-
If I had a hammer I'd eat a churro.
-
Did a burro ever eat a churro?
-
Geo may sheo up.
-
Three minutes.
-
You never know what might happen in three minutes.
-
Your Three Minutes Are Up
-
I can dance a tango, I can read Greek in three minutes - easy.
-
Great film starring Ron Leibman
-
And Beau Bridges
-
Down some damn rabbit hole, I'm sure.
John Fugelsang was on MSNBC's The 11th Hour, along with other left-leaning pundits. They were all quite fascinating and very interesting.
-
A phone call.
-
George at the last minute!
-
Rehearsal tonight was staging the end of act one and the beginning of act two.
-
I think tomorrow's rehearsal is running all of act one.
-
After that, I'm going to a memorial for a former co-worker who retired about five years ago. :(
-
Are you more in Act 2 or 1?
-
Are you more in Act 2 or 1?
More in act one...14 spoken lines versus only three in the second.
-
I think the ensemble singing is fairly equal in both acts...I think.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
-
11!!!!!!!!!!!
