Well, you've read the notes, the notes were accompanied by a good film score, and now it is time for you to post until the film score cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PLENTIFUL!
-
Welcome, 219 GUESTS.
-
Who ARE you people?
-
And why aren't you watching Sami?

Last night, BK complained that I was "Out on the town. Mr. Night Life." Well, last night that was not untrue. ::)
-
HOWEVER, he accused me of "stuff[ing my] face with food and liquor rather than be here for the change of the day," and "Clubbing it. Smoking the marijuana cigarettes and taking the cocaine." And "Getting liquored up."
Well, I NEVER! And certainly not last night! I'm a good boy, I am!!
-
He also accused me of "Eating smashed burgers...And the fries that are french." Well, I've done those, but not last night.
-
And now, I'm off to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
Well, what DID you eat, Mr. Good Boy I Am?
-
Good morning, all!
-
Good morning, friends.
-
I want the fries that are French.
-
With a dollop of chili over the top.
-
Or perhaps the other way 'round...
-
The chili with the fries on the top.
-
Didn't Curly Fry sing about that?
-
I had the most peculiar dream in whch I was singing "April Love" at benefit to a small and underwhelmed audience
-
There was more backstage drama in this dream, but I remember none of it now.
-
This morning my helper Mario is coming over, and we will hopefully get all these books put awat.
-
"The Film Score from Hell" sounds like it could be a great horror classic.
With a film score from hell.
-
Good morning, all.
-
My friend’s guest bed is quite comfortable. I slept well.
-
Much to do this morning as today is Mom’s 96th.
-
A happy day!

In Boston, it's not "NPR."

Good morning, all.

A birthday par-tay in that part of the U.S. of A., should be catered by Skyline, White Castle and Graeter's.
-
Congratulations, DR Elmore, on the shopping spree and purchase of a new computer!
-
Congratulations are also due to vixmom for being good for another six years!
-
Good morning.
I would still be abed, but I heard a lawn mower outside, and there is Denny cutting my grass. He won't be finished or another hour or so, but I have arisen.
News at six.
-
I was actually forgetting what vixmom's six years were for, while typing that. I just knew she was good for six years. :)
Then I remembered. Jury duty!
I've only been called twice, I think. First time, I spent the morning and part of the afternoon at the courthouse reading a book, till the judge in the case came in and said the parties had resolved whatever it was and we were all excused.
Also had a wonderful Mexican meal at the mom-and-pop restaurant across the street where all the attorneys and everyone eat.
Second time, I totally blew it and found out one evening that I'd put it in my calendar wrong, and I was supposed to have been there that morning! I called and apologized, and they said "oh, that case was dismissed. You're fine."
I have no idea what years these were, or whether the gavel is about to strike again.

I dreamed last night.
I dreamed of "1776" and my 1976 production of same with the Naples Little Theater.
I have never dreamed such a dream. I did not re-live a performance, but I did re-visit the drama behind the scenes, including in my workplace where I was editor of the base newspaper and being criticized by my boss for writing better stories about the play than I was writing about his "major bicentennial ball" event.
Trouble there was that his event was restricted to 600 people. VERY exclusive. Additioally, it was a 'couples" event...and that meant husbands and wives or boyfriends and girlfriends. Capping that, the price per couple was $60. This was 1976, and most folks weren't spending $60 on a night out with a meal while they were in the Navy and in Italy. Many also would have to hire baby sitters.
The American audience (Navy, Air Force, Army and Marine Corps) was around 10,000 (including family members). And this "event" was restricted to only 600 of those 10,000. The majority of the population was single and not in a committed "dating" relationship that would see any of them doling out $60 for a formal ball.
To be frank, the tickets weren't selling very well, and it was "my" fault according to my boss.
My dream involved me telling him that they needed to offer payment installments for those who needed them. He felt that was too insulting and that no one would admit needing help.
He did not sell 600 tickets, but it did well enough.
My play cost $6 a ticket, and we sold out six performances. House seated 800.
Go write a screenplay about that. And don't hire Stanislas Syrewicz to score it, because I want only the BEST!
-
This could be the start of something big.
-
Very big.
-
Steve Lawrence sayz so.
-
When I was in Oakland, for 25 years, I received a jury summons each year. I served only once, and had a week-long travail of being a potential juror but was dismissed without interview because a jury was seated before they got to my name.
I have been retired since July 2017, and living in South Carolina since that September. I registered to vote and pay taxes, but haven't been summoned once in six years.
-
I have not yet had my coffee, and the ill effects are mounting.
I have put on shorts, so i won't be caught in my boxers by the lawn mower guy when he wants to be paid.
It's Thursday, after all, and the 13th day of July (month named after Julius Caesar, by the way!!).
I am all out of fresh blueberry muffins, sadly.
-
I'm exhausted already: too hot, too humid, and I've got really bad acid reflux.
-
I'm exhausted already: too hot, too humid, and I've got really bad acid reflux.
That is one very expressive sentence, Larry! I can almost feel it myself.

And let me share this link I copied from DR George's post last night:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS-dKMYU8R8
It's an extraordinary concert with some glorious vocals...more glorious than any currently being heard in any Broadway show.

From John:
Milan Kundera died at 94. I loved The Unbearable Lightness of Being, both the book and the movie. But I don’t think I have read anything else of his.
I only saw the movie.
-
I like my all in one HP computer.
-
A disadvantage of the all in one is if one thing goes wrong you have to completely replace the computer. Keith has stayed with his regular computer and big screen, which can be replaced separately from the computer.
-
I have survived the grass mowing payment, have completed a deposit slip for a couple of annuity checks, and have had a filling breakfast of a cheese omelet with my one cup of coffee.
It seems it is now lunchtime.
And I am all at sea over what I might get to tide me over till e'en!

I do love yellow corn.
Around here, however, we mostly find white corn.
Funny story (to me): When I was a kid, my paternal grandmother would visit us for a month at a time every year. She had given up housekeeping long before my father was of age (he was the youngest of 8 and had two married brothers by the time he was six).
She moved around amongst her children...a month here, a month there and, more often than not, several months with her youngest daughter (my Aunt Fanny).
At any rate, she was visiting us when I was in my early teens and my mom prepared corn on the cob with the evening meal. I feel certain we had yellow corn for meals in prior visits she had with us, but on this occasion, she exclaimed:
"Harrumph! In Virginia, we only eat white corn. We feed the yellow corn to the hogs!"
My mom looked at me, suppressed a smile, and said nothing. My dad said "Well, Ma, you don't have to eat it if you don't want it."
She ate it.
-
I enjoy a tomato and corn casserole that is made with white corn, and my mom used to make that all the time, but she bought the small can of white corn for that dish only. Fresh corn was always yellow.
I can get yellow corn already frozen, of course, but local roadside fare is exclusively white corn.
-
HOWEVER, he accused me of "stuff[ing my] face with food and liquor rather than be here for the change of the day," and "Clubbing it. Smoking the marijuana cigarettes and taking the cocaine." And "Getting liquored up."
Well, I NEVER! And certainly not last night! I'm a good boy, I am!!

The first card was pretty but way too big so I changed it.

I look forward to reading about her special day.

DR RON PULLIAM I enjoyed your 1776 and yellow corn stories.

Thursday afternoon greetings! The downsizing continues and today we dealt with some things hanging from the I-beams in the basement. I discovered a pair of drapes still on hangers and in the bag from the dry cleaner (the late, great Gough-Lamb). The attached ticket says I dropped them off there on 6/7/88 - the day we moved into this house.
-
I talked to the neighbors who happened to be outside as I left yesterday afternoon.
He said they are aware of the run off problem and trying to find a solution. My brother had a length of gutter spout flexible hosing and offered it to me today.....so I put it in my driveway and will offer it to them this afternoon if I see them.

Orphan: These sausages is moldy.
Fagan: Shut up and drink your gin.

It's curtains for DR GINNY!
-
So yesterday I used the stuff on my bald head that I had bought on Amazon that is supposed to cause less sweating.....
It did not.
Instead about 10 minutes into the rehearsal the sweat began pouring and the sweat and the chemicals went right into my eyes.
Most painful....but there was nothing to do because I didn't want to stop the rehearsal.....so I sort of fixed it during intermission....but it was an uncomfortable evening.
I shall not be using the ineffective chemical again.
-
That's $25 in the trash.
-
Thanks DR JANE. I shall have a full report.
-
It's curtains for DR GINNY!
Actually, it’s curtains for Goodwill, DR JRand!
-
Tonight we open! We shall see what happens.
-
AH DR GINNY - even better.
I would love to find some nice drapes at Goodwill still in the cleaning bag. Straight to the Playhouse!
-
In a very strange coincidence - I watched The Holcroft Covenant earlier this week.
I saw directed by JF and starring MC and got excited about it.
Then it started.....and it is exactly as described by MR BK.
I couldn't finish it....when Lilli Palmer showed up looking like Helmut Berger in THE DAMNED, I was through, brother!
-
Happy 96th birthday to DR John G’s mother!

A birthday par-tay in that part of the U.S. of A., should be catered by Skyline, White Castle and Graeter's.
And Busken bakery. Or Servatii’s.
-
I also enjoyed ROME as described by DR RON PULLIAM for exactly the same reasons.
And there was another series....it may have been SPARTACUS that was also very good.....not sure if it was STARZ or HBO. I think the young actor who played the title role passed away and it had to be recast for the second or third season.

One day God was looking down at Earth and saw all of the rascally behavior that was going on. So he called one of His angels and sent the angel to Earth for a time.
When he returned, he told God, "Yes, it is bad on Earth; 95% are misbehaving and only 5% are not."
God thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another opinion."
So God called another angel and sent him to Earth for a time.
When the angel returned he went to God and said, "Yes, it's true. The Earth is in decline; 95% are misbehaving, but 5% are being good."
God was not pleased. So He decided to e-mail the 5% that were good, because he wanted to encourage them, and give them a little something to help them keep going.
Do you know what the e-mail said?
-
Okay, I was just wondering, because I didn't get one either.
-
I'm up, I'm up - six and a half hours of sleep, so, going in the right direction at least. I don't know why it's been so hard for me to fall back asleep.
-
Amazon's holding of reviews like this is reprehensible.
-
I'm gonna go to Ralph's shortly and get stuff for sandwiches - turkey probably.

I'm a good boy, I am!!
We'll be the judge of that. 8)

Did the Ralph's run and got turkey and french rolls for sandwiches, a baked potato for later, and they had an amazing sale on Drumsticks ice cream cones - five dollars cheaper than usual, so I got that, too.
-
I wrote four pages and finished not only the section I was in the but chapter. And now it gets interesting and hopefully fun.
-
I'll probably futz and finesse in a little bit, then start the next section/chapter.
-
I should be fifty pages in by the end of today.

Now I want drumsticks! Ice cream aka as Nutty Buddies here.

OMG, in Italy a judge ruled that groping did not constitute a crime because it lasted less than 10 seconds.
-
Worse, this ruling was in favor of a 66 year old school caretaker and a 17 year old student.
-
Before "groping" her, he caused her pants to fall down.
-
He admitted to doing this without her consent but called it a joke.
-
DR JANE I think there are going to be a lot of old men running around in Italy holding stop watches.
-
Tonight we open! We shall see what happens.
BREAK A LEG!

DR JANE I think there are going to be a lot of old men running around in Italy holding stop watches.
Yup. There are also a lot of protests & concerns over this ruling.
-
We accomplished much today. I am very pleased.

Good news, DR elmore3003.
-
Samuel Barber wrote "A Stopwatch and an Ordnance Map," but I don't think he had that Italian scenario in mind.
-
Hello, everyone.

Hi.
-
DR Ginny, I suspect that quite a few people have stories like your curtain one. I sure have.
-
Today is kitchen cleaning day here. I’m cleaning out the refrigerator and freezer, then will move on to other tasks. There’s lots to do. I found things in the freezer that were two years old — even ice cream.

The former president would approve. He’d feel right at home there.

I know how difficult it is to find help. I’m pleased you found someone.

Ditto!

I've been ketchuping on the Rolling Hills Estates landslide. Watched a couple of news clips, and everyone, from newscasters to the local politicians, seemed like total dorks. That may be an odd reaction on my part, but I'm calling it like I see it.

Back to the kitchen.

Being lazy, having eaten two turkey sandwiches.

I'll futz and finesse at some point soon.

Then I'll be lazy.

SAG/AFTRA is on strike. Lots of bombast and of course all actors are all up in arms and can't wait. But Deadline published the producers' statement and it includes many points of what was offered in the final negotiation and I thing someone from SAG needs to step up and say what exactly was not good enough in what was being offered and what they were holding out for, because as I read the terms they seemed pretty damn good to me. In the end, they'll settle and it will probably be for the same terms.

BK, are you currently a member of SAG?
-
Thanks for the theeder vibes. I shall be on my way in a tick.
-
That reminds me --
Someone yesterday was looking for the wacky video that gave us "theeder". I gave it a try myself last night, with no luck. I don't remember what the video was actually about, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't just the pronunciation of "theater". That was a secondary thing that ended up overiding the main subject. So what in the HELL was it?

Very good writeup, DR Jrand72.
And a good reminder that I need to jump back into my Harvey movies.

Yes, break a leg for tonight's opening.

Thank you MR BK.

No, no...I had things in my freezer that were more than five years old, but definitely NOT any ice cream.
You may recall my freezer saga about it shutting down and everything thawing. Once I got it all cleared out, I discovered a control knob about 2/3 down the rear of the freezer. A twist of the knob and it all came back on.
I was perplexed...still am.
-
Break a leg, DR JRand!

Graeter’s time!
I’ll have Toffee Chip, please!

DR John thank you for sharing your family photos. It was very nice to see them.
-
The dog just happened by for a visit. But we all know and love her.
-
I am now early for Shakespeare in the Park. Tonight is Love’s Labor’s Lost.
-
Now I really want to try Graeter's ice cream.
DR Jane, according to their website Graeter’s ice cream is sold in your area at stores called Quality Food Center. It’s not as good packaged as at a “scoop shop” but it’ll do in a pinch ;)
-
I spent so much of my years 11-21 here.

I’ll second that.

Can we get off page seven before someone grumbles?
-
The answer, my friend …
-
… blowing out your pipe
-
.. and put that in.
-
To mix some lyrics.
-
And add some posts.
-
Eight!
-
Eight!
You got that straight.
-
And you weren't late.
-
More posts will elongate.
-
Page eight.

I hear Graeter's is great.

'Scuse me whilst I procrastinate.

It's not iambic pentameter, and it's not Shakespeare by any means.
-
Futzing and finessing is done. May start chapter two later this evening.
-
A second book? Not a play. Not a collection of free verse poetry. Not a screenplay. Not the Book of Job in swing time.

SAG-AFTRA has voted to strike.
I just saw this article:
SAG-AFTRA Declares Double Strike as Actors Join Writers on Picket Lines (https://variety.com/2023/biz/news/sag-aftra-double-strike-wga-amptp-1235669492/)
Good!

OMG, in Italy a judge ruled that groping did not constitute a crime because it lasted less than 10 seconds.
WTF?? :o
-
Gratuitous Post #222!!
-
We accomplished much today. I am very pleased.
Good news, DR elmore3003.
Ditto!
-
Today is kitchen cleaning day here. I’m cleaning out the refrigerator and freezer, then will move on to other tasks. There’s lots to do. I found things in the freezer that were two years old — even ice cream.
My ice cream would never last two years in my freezer. Maybe if it was Keith's ice cream.
I have some (meaning more than one) pizzas in my freezer that have been in there for more than two years. ::)

The dog just happened by for a visit. But we all know and love her.
At the nursing home where Echo & I used to visit, they loved her so much they gave her a big birthday party.

I think my review has posted.

That's great, Jrand!

That's great!

Listening to a voice major perform before the show. Bella Mancuso. Nice voice. Songs from such shows as Dogfight, Bring It On, Relativity and Smash. She has a decent voice and the songs show it off, but the material is so-so.

Thank you Ginny. I have never shopped there. I went on their website to see if they sell toffee chip. All they have is mint chocolate chip :P :P :P and black raspberry chocolate chip. I would sample the black raspberry in a store but likely would not buy it.

'Scuse me whilst I procrastinate.
The story of my life. ::)

Two times I’ve had to serve on a jury of full trial.
Two times we were all let go without even being called into a courtroom.
Two times I had moved to a new state by the time the summons arrived.
-
I hear Graeter's is great.
That's what they keep telling us ;)
-
If we ever drive cross country to Milwaukee maybe we will find a store to sample Graeter's ice cream.

Yup ::)

And who is counting the seconds!!!!

That's a lot of times ;)

I have only been called for jury duty twice. The first time was right after Bryan was born and all it took was a phone call to get out of it. I wonder if today you would have to send proof of the birth.
-
The second time I called my doctor and got a letter to excuse me. I still have a copy of it, just in case I need to ask my doctor here for a letter.

You can also order it online to be shipped in dry ice, but I think the minimum order is 6 pints.
-
LOL, that wouldn't fit in my freezer.
-
Plus I only want a small scoop :)
-
Slept for an hour, I guess.
-
BK is on strike!

Pianist Andre Watts has died, at 77. He was quite a bit younger than I would have thought.
-
Show just canceled due to rain.
-
Sorry.
-
I'm now downtown and will be ushering for Falsettos again.
-
I expect to be back before the end of the day. ::)
;D

There are tons of sailboats on the river tonight. They are very pretty to look at.
-
'night
-
Been listening to Shostakovich preludes and fugues for the past hour. There was another 90 minutes, but no.
-
On the flipside, I started listening to The Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public, a real guilty pleasure. I really like the first three or four songs, but after that, things go downhill fast.
-
George, you asked me if I would watch the musical of Here to Eternity, I will when I finish the book.
-
Plus, I will watch the movie again.
-
I want to see with fresh eyes how Sinatra handles his role. In the book, the character is unquestionably gay. Obviously Hollywood wasn’t going to deal with that. But why did he want to play it so badly?

Those last two times...on the lam,eh?
-
On the lam with mint jelly.
-
Just a little folderol.
-
To bide the time.
-
And the time needs biding.
-
A storm came through and we had a bit of a power outage.
-
We need the rain.
-
A little fall of rain.

Is it a milk dud?

Good night, all.
-
Good night, friends.
-
Thanks DR RON PULLIAM so far you're the only one I know who got the email.
-
Such lovely photos from DR JOHN G! Thanks for sharing.
-
The patented HHW vibes worked perfectly.
As Variety would say:
Big Laughs & Hefty Mitts.
And we get to do it again tomorrow.....we had only about 25 seats open tonight....and hopefully when word gets out - we will sell out a few performances.
-
And boy am I tired.
-
What?
-
Did someone say something?
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Too many onions make BK a sick boy.
-
And I had too many onions.
-
Damn them, damn them all to HELL.
-
On the two sandwiches.
-
Scallions on the baked potato.
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Just snoozing a lot.
-
Snooze-a-lot is the sequel to Camelot.
-
Great review Jack!
-
I was expecting to be sitting in the jurors wait room for many hours and had held off reading anymore of Harvey so I would have it for the wait
-
Now I have less time to read but I shall get back to it as soon as possible
-
John your Mom looks wonderful, God bless her!
-
I have to drive 50 miles north for a closing tomorrow.
-
Of course the forecast is for heavy rain
-
Maybe I should start now
-
Any way I should get me sleep
-
Jack I am glad to hear the show was a success
-
SRO vibes for the upcoming shows
-
Old night
-
Good night
-
What does old night even MEAN autocorrect?!
-
Page 11 BTW
-
I keep sating goodbye
-
But I don’t go
-
Ok this time for real
-
Byeeeeeeeeeeee!
-
I expect to be back before the end of the day. ::)
;D
Well, let's HOPE I get home before midnight! I'm at a Jack in the Box drive-thru and the person who was at the window when I placed my order took almost five minutes to get their food! :o
-
Now, only two cars ahead. It's moving!
-
I want to see with fresh eyes how Sinatra handles his role. In the book, the character is unquestionably gay. Obviously Hollywood wasn’t going to deal with that. But why did he want to play it so badly?
I have the e-book, which I haven't read yet...but I do want to.
-
I just noticed that I'm behind a car whose tabs expired November 2021!
-
So, when I got up to the window to pay for my food (spicy chicken tenders), the person asked if I had ordered 32 tacos. :o
-
WHAT?? Nope! I didn't order 32 tacos.
-
Well, it turns out that someone had ordered 32 tacos (and more, because he had also mentioned 80 somethings!) and then got out of line!
-
OMG!! Who would do something like that??
-
But he asked if I wanted some free tacos, because they started to make them.
-
I said, "Sure," so I got four free tacos in addition to my chicken tenders and large diet Coke.
-
I ate one taco in the car, but didn't eat any more until I got home.
-
I had another taco, and then two of the spicy tenders.
-
Then, I had the other two tacos and decided to not eat the other three tenders because it was all already too much!
-
So I didn't.
-
I put them in my fridge, and we'll see how well they reheat.
-
I'll reheat them in my toaster oven, and not the microwave oven.

Well, this is sad...Lisa Marie Presley's cause of death revealed as small bowel obstruction (https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/celebrity/lisa-marie-presley-s-cause-of-death-revealed-as-small-bowel-obstruction/ar-AA1dQ68u?OCID=ansmsnnews11).
The cause of singer-songwriter Lisa Marie Presley's death at 54 has been determined as "a small bowel obstruction caused by scar tissue that developed after a previous bariatric surgery years ago."
The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner confirmed the news Thursday and added that the manner of Presley's death was natural.
....
According to a coroner's report reviewed by EW, the obstruction that led to Presley's death "was in the form of a strangulated small bowel caused by adhesions that developed after bariatric surgery years ago. This is a known longterm complication of this type of surgery."
-
Oh, my goodness!
-
Maybe they have the jerk's car on camera and can get the license plate from it and give that to the police.
-
But good free tacos.
-
Calling DR Laura!! Here's short video for a panaffle (a waffle cooked with a pancake and then together cooked like French toast)...breakfast's answer to the Cherpumple!

New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
Maybe they have the jerk's car on camera and can get the license plate from it and give that to the police.
There is hope.
-
I wrote them.
-
But good free tacos.
And they were good. :)
-
And here we are on page twelve.
-
I love those weird Jack in the Box tacos.
-
What ever happened to Jack in the Box secret sauce. When did they do away with that?
-
I used to like their cheeseburger with secret sauce.
-
Where the HELL is the secret sauce?
-
I used to have it in the Jumbo Jack and the Bonus Jack.
-
Well, seems they still use it on the Bonus Jack so I may have to have one.
-
What ever happened to Jack in the Box secret sauce. When did they do away with that?
I don't think I've ever had that.
-
But I think I've seen that in their list of available sauces...at least, here in Tumwater.
