I had a lousy night of sleep. I woke up around 2:30 for a bathroom break, looked at the clock, and said to Thatch who was sleeping beside me, well,, we've got three more hours to sleep. I went back to bed and stayed awake for the next three hours. I can't blame the cats. I just couldn't settle. I fretted about the ballet, worried about paying my taxes, worried about my health . . .

I went to bed last night feeling so poorly that I expected my doctor this morning to send me directly to Lenox Hill Hospital for tests and evaluation. Well, I got up at 5:30 to no cramps and no sickly feelings. Go figure.

No band rehearsal tonight, so I have an evening to myself. I'll let Annabelle pick a DVD, although there are some of her choices I feel she is too young to watch: Fast, Pussycat, Kill! Kill! would terrify Thatch and possibly amuse Stella.

I've got three different pairs of CVS reading glasses:  1.25 for computer and music distance, 2.0 for reading in a chair, and 2.75 which is getting into really strong territory (you could get dizzy walking around in them) but good for very very close-up reading. These are their most inexpensive store brand, and they're wonderful. They work so well for me (and I even like the frames) that I'm going to get second pairs of the first two as backups and at this point I'm not even considering prescription ones. Fifteen bucks a pop, man.

I'm up, I'm up - three hours of sleep - was about to go back to bed when the galley arrived (but not the covers). So, I did a quick spot check and they clearly didn't even look at the instruction sheet I always include and they screwed up the copyright page - with what we provide, all the have to do is drop in the ISBNs and done. But no, they didn't read the instructions and substituted their standard page, which doesn't have the book design credits. Their fixing that now - and then something happened, don't know HOW it's even possible, that rendered the photo spread completely black. They're fixing that, too. So, I'm waiting for those corrections - everything else seemed fine.

Modem and router went down - why? Just me, no one else in the neighborhood. Got tech on the phone and we had to do the usual unplugging and plugging in routine. The interesting part was being asked if I wanted to join Bruce's Hot Spot - I did and was online from that, so that's good for the future. Bruce's Hot Spot is the name of a nightclub in my next novel.

Modem and router went down - why? Just me, no one else in the neighborhood. Got tech on the phone and we had to do the usual unplugging and plugging in routine. The interesting part was being asked if I wanted to join Bruce's Hot Spot - I did and was online from that, so that's good for the future. Bruce's Hot Spot is the name of a nightclub in my next novel.

I think that's a better choice than Guys and Dolls' Bruce's Hot Box./

Rising about 30 minutes ago from her 5-hour morning nap, Annabelle has been very clingy. She keeps letting me know she wants to be held, but she gets antsy, goes off to other things and then comes back to be held again.

Thank you, John! Maybe. We accidentally found a secret entry to his expansive acreage. Or maybe he was one of the people in the other vehicles.

My vision is fine now, the reading glasses are great, etc.  And yet...

Yesterday morning, I had a dentist appointment to have a small filling done and to have the dentist explore another tooth that has an odd shadow on the x-ray.  She said it might be a fracture, but she cannot really tell.

At any rate, it was a quick procedure once the anesthetic took hold which was a bit of an ordeal.  All my life, getting dentists to numb me up before a procedure has been a little time-consuming.

When I was in my early teens, I went to my first dentist.  He identified a few cavities that needed filling and said we would do one a week.  These appointments were extremely trying for me because of the pain I always felt.  I was vocal about it, but the dentist would not heed my pain. I would grip the arms of the dental chair as hard as I could.  He would later tell my mom that I was a terrible patient because he knew he was giving me the approved/recommended anesthetic for young people.

It was not until my first dental appointment in the Navy that I learned it did not need to be painful.  A Navy captain was my dentist and, as he started to work, I flinched a bit.  He stopped and asked if I felt any pain.  I told him it was all right, and that I could tolerate it.  He said I wasn't supposed to feel any pain and should never have to tolerate it.  He numbed me up some more, and I had my first painless dental experience.

Since that time, I have always been adamant with a new dentist that what they consider adequate numbing would not be enough. 

I am wholly recovered from yesterday's visit.  My mouth was numb most of yesterday and only returned to normal overnight.

I am so sorry your original dentists was not very good.  The Navy dentist did what was appropriate, and what I thought was usual.  I have experienced drilling without an anesthetic, my choice, and no how painful it can be.

It crossed the trail, but by the time I got the lens cap off, its head was in the shade and it was moving away from me. Then is moved through the grasses and I couldn't get a clear shot of its head.  Then it moved to the wash, going away from me, so I pretty much just got a rear shot.

Just did the eBook stuff - I'll let you know when it's up, for those who may want to read it in advance of the hardcover and softcover release. The eBook version also has sixteen pages of color photos rather than the black-and-whites of the hard copies.

Cool!  Definitely a good reason to double-dip!

For some reason, unbeknownst to me, a package was sent to me via USPS "Smart Locker."

That was a very interesting story, Singdaw!  Glad it all worked out.

At my condo complex, we got new locking mailboxes since the previous locking mailboxes kept getting broken into. :P

They got swapped out on Saturday, and today was the first day that I could get my new keys to finally open my new mailbox.
Title: Re: BEWARE THE EYES OF MARCH
Post by: George on March 20, 2024, 07:04:10 PM
And what was in the mailbox (other than the usual mailers) was a Blu-ray disc of Saltburn from eBay.
Title: Re: BEWARE THE EYES OF MARCH

I think it might be a bootleg because it's a burned Blu-ray, not a pressed Blu-ray. ::)

Because I'm working 10-hour days and because there's much less traffic at night.

I don't want to keep anyone in suspense. The package was a beautifully bound and produced bookstop of a book in a slipcase cover - the genealogy of my father's side of the family. It has been several years in the making. A family foundation paid for the production and distribution to all the desendents free of cost.

Very nice, Singdaw!

The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad was a boy’s adventure. The Golden Voyage of Sinbad is a teen boy’s adventure. There’s more emphasis here on sex and violence.

This Sinbad isn’t as fun as this first. The whole movie, down to the Rozsas score, takes itself too seriously.

Poor Miklos.  He tried to give the movie something of value according to his experiences.  I daresay Herrmann would not have tried.  Rozsa simply had no experience or desire to write "down" to some film's level.

We’re working with Grandmama and Grandad at the moment …but the kid might have ideas if his own

Just checking out the Blu-ray to Saltburn that I just got from eBay.
Title: Re: BEWARE THE EYES OF MARCH
Post by: George on March 21, 2024, 12:04:01 AM
It's definitely hi-def, so that's good, but I do think that it's more than likely a bootleg...mostly because it's a burned not pressed Blu-ray.

There are 14 different languages for subtitles, but I can only get to three of them when I play it on my Blu-ray player (although, that could be because of the player itself).
Title: Re: BEWARE THE EYES OF MARCH

However, when I play it on my computer, I can access all the subtitles.
