Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Black Narcissus, and now it is time for you to post until the narcissistic cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: GUSTO!
-
Break Legs at the Robbie Awards, BK!
-
Good morning, friends.
-
~~~BREAK-A-LEG VIBES~~~ for BK!!!!!!!
-
.
-
Who decides these things?
-
Can one honor all four things at the same time?
-
Why doesn't someone post a video of THAT?
-
I have never seen Black Narcissus, but I have Max, and so I shall.
-
DR Jrand73, I voted for you for the Grammys.
-
And I nominated DR vixmom for a Granny Grammy.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I slept quite poorly last night. I turned off the lights around 8:45 and then tossed about in a effort to get comfortable till long past midnight. Faithful Annabelle stayed with me all night. Stella slept next to me for a while, but I thik my restlessness got on her nerves. Thatch showed up after a 5:00 bathroom break.
-
I don't have many plans for today except the tax work, which is going slower than I'd like, partially out of laziness and partially because everything I do now takes me twice as long.
-
Happy Sunday to one and all! The new episode of the Broadway Radio Show is up on the site and we're heading back to school for Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Musical with the talented songwriting team Alan Schmuckler and Michael Mahler. They chat about bringing this hugely popular book series to the stage as a musical and the brand new studio cast recording. And, of course, you'll hear plenty of songs from the album!

Good morning.

Good morning, all.
-
I got the ol’ second wind last night and was awake till All Hours, eastern time.
A li’l power nap would sure be a welcome thing today.
-
So would some great tacos.
In fact, so would some free tacos.
Hell, I ain’t choosey.
-
I must put my copy of Black Narcissus on the watch pile.
-
This is just bizarre. A completely sunny weekend. Cold, of course, but that’s all right. But I also see warmer temperatures on the way.
Whew! Quite the winter, say what? Glad that’s over!
Wait! Wait a minute. Hold the damn phone. What’s today’s date, again?
-
Vixmom, is the kid talking yet?
-
Well, another coffee, and I must get down to it.
-
Thanks DR singdaw - your vote probably puts me over the top.
-
Today my sister Molly and I are making the trek to the big city to see Tracy Letts' play THE MINUTES at the Phoenix Cultural Center.
My friends Chuck and Suzanne are in the cast.
I have only told Molly it is a comedy....no other clues.
-
Temps should be in the 50's by the time we leave for the theeder.
-
Of course I will be turning in my script to the Artistic Director....or at least leaving it there for her.
-
Notes zigged. Zagged.
-
I have never seen Black Narcissus, but I have Max, and so I shall.
It’s a must! A movie like no other.

As the license plates used to say, Wander Indiana.

A little page 2 soft shoe.

Wish I was back with all the sweet and simple folk I call my kin, in Kokomo, Indiana.
-
Well if it isn’t pop and mom you always had the cutest grin, in Kokomo, Indiana.
-
Just look at Rover wag his tail. Gosh! He remembers me!
And get a load of sister Grace, you can’t see the freckles through the jam on her face!
-
How would you like to go and see that old Wabashful Beau you used to know?
In Kokomo, Indiana.
-
Wouldn’t you just as soon go out and spoon beneath the Hoosier moon?
Oh what a moon!
-
For all the many reasons I have mentioned heretofore, my heart will always stay in Kokomo.
And of course you know, the town of Kokomo
Will always be
Indefinitely,
In Indiana!

Sorry, not sorry, lyric-post haters. That’s from Mother Wore Tights.

My apologies to Hugo Friedhofer.
-
I love Black Narcissus. I started reading another Godden novel, In This House of Brede, and need to get back to it.
-
Some dreams during the night included making mobiles out of food. They weren’t working too well because they started stinking up the joint.
-
Sunday morning greetings! I’ve just seen Richard off to church.
-
DR John G, Brede is one of Richard’s favorite novels. He’s read it multiple times and I read it in 2020.
-
I loved the beginning. It’s on my Kindle. I just need to get back to it.
-
Godden is such a good writer. I need to read more of her.
-
I must put my copy of Black Narcissus on the watch pile.
I've never seen it; always wanted to.
-
This morning I listened to a sacred piece of music I had never heard before: Cesar Frack's 2-hour oratorio Les Beatitudes. It's quie beautiful/
-
At the moment I am listening to the flop musical The Fields of Ambrosia; Michael Silvestri's score is really glorious, and Harold Wheeler's orchestrations are fantastic. It's based on the film The Traveling Executioner.
-
Of course I will be turning in my script to the Artistic Director....or at least leaving it there for her.
Good to get it in in time for the Pulitzers!

Well, the US Postal service has lost another package that was supposedly delivered yesterday. There's either a thief in our building or the postal carrier is one of the following:
1. dyslexic and the package sits in another building's mail room;
2. a thief.
The last time I never received a supposedly delivered package was Dec. 23, 2023. This is really pissing me off.
-
Exactly DR FREDDIE.....I'm working on my acceptance speech.
Or maybe I'll use the left over from the Oscars last year.
-
DR Singdaw we had our dream kitchen in Ashland and miss it every single day.
-
Our fairly new electric popcorn popper isn't working properly. The last one lasted a long time. Needless to say we aren't happy. Keith has been using a pot to pop the corn in.
-
From DR John:
Costco was having a sale on Australian licorice in strawberry, mango and green apple flavors. Excellent stuff. Great flavor.
I like the strawberry, not the other flavors. Yesterday I compared the ingredients of my Panda black licorice to several Australian brands. I stuck with the Panda since there are fewer ingredients in it.
-
I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep - was up at eight-thirty unable to fall back asleep.

Today, my mom, my friend Shelly and I will be going to a not-so-local casino, not to play, but to get some free stuff!
-
This particular casino entices player by offering free items once a week for a month. This month, it's a set of red pots and pans.
-
A few months ago, my mom got a set of ceramic baking dishes that were really nice, so I think these pots will be too.
-
So, we'll go one day each week and pick up our loot, then scoot!

We spent three hours this morning visiting with the Vixter, Vixhubby and Vixson
-
After intensive study we have determined him to be the most handsome and intelligent baby boy ever to be born .
-
This is, of course, an entirely rational, unbiased and completely objective conclusion.
-
We have been forbidden to share photo publicly, so I am afraid you’ll just have to take my word for it .
-

That's wonderful, DR vixmom.

They have a private room with a full bathroom including a shower.
There is a murphy bed for dad and baby stays in the room 24hours.

You are in the same boat as we are. Not sharing publicly gets more difficult the older and cuter they get.

DR VIXMOM got a new grandson and DR GEORGE is getting some red pots and pans.
There is no end to the bounty we are enjoying at HHW.

finding the package vibes for DR ELMORE.
-
I enjoyed the play very much.....the set was great and the costumes were very good....
I liked about 70% of the acting......but nothing was BAD BAD.
-
I am shocked that there are folks at HHW who haven't seen BLACK NARCISSUS.....it is all that MR BK wrote about in the notes.
And it is a very visceral film that provokes specific responses.....

Jrand - Did you hand over your play today?

We've been watching episodes of Miriam and Alan: Lost in Scotland on PBS. It's sacred and profane. :)

I don't know. This particular casino isn't too close, so it's not an easy place to get to...not terribly far, but about a half hour away.
-
There's also letting go of your money to get the stuff, so there's that.
-
It wouldn't be a good reason to gamble only for the "gifts" ;)

We added Black Narcissus to our list of movies to watch.

I forgot that the Grammy Awards were on tonight. And the Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album went to Some Like It Hot.

DR George, I hope we'll get a photo of your new red pots.

Only a few more.

Then my work here will be done.

We only get one a week, but here's the first one:

And here's the bottom of the pan:

It's not a heavy duty pan, but I'm sure it'll do well enough...for me, at least. :)
-
I do not care for page seven.

Back from the Robbys, about which more in the notes, and then Bob's Big Boy and Boy did I make a Big error of judgement. Instead of ordering the regular Big Boy Combo, I got the Super Big Boy Combo - about two ounces more meat per patty and double cheese. Well, you can't actually pick it up and eat it - that's the first problem. The Big Boy problem is the relish on the top bun is way too far away from the mayo on the bottom bun, so that they don't balance each other out.
-
Never again.
-
The salad and fries were great, as was their ranch dressing.
-
Live and learn

Learn and live.

Well, once again George is a late-night no-show. Not a single post since my 10:56 post.

Very irritating.

And he WILL be held accountable.
