Well, you've read the notes, the notes were impressionistically impressionistic, and now it is time for you to post until the impressionistic cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: BOISTEROUS!
-
Thanks for the link to that wonderful video of Maria and Jonathan, DR George! For those who missed it in the last topic:

You're welcome, MichaelG! I'm about 20 minutes in, and I just enjoy listening to Maria Friedman. :)
-
Good morning, friends.
-
You can't make dandelion soup with only one weed.
-
I have but one weed to give for my country.
-
I weed walk a mile for a Camel.
-
:)
-
.
-
Who decides these things?
-
It's June. June, June, June.
-
That's not impressionistic.
-
But it makes an impression.
-
Just because it's June.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I'm sleeping later these days, and I'm unsure how I feel about that. I need work. I am idle too much.
-
I did sleep very well last night, so that makes me happy.
-
DR Ron Pulliam, I have a Trump-tootin' cousin I finally blocked because dealing with stupid people is too difficult.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I have no plans today.
-
If you’re from Kentucky, every day is bourbon day.
-
I’ll drink to that. And one for Mahler.
-
Who was not an impressionist.
-
I’m down to the last 12 Hitchcock movies. Maybe I’ll watch a couple this weekend. I’ve put off Jamaica Inn too long. And Mary, the German language version of Blackmail.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I'm just lolling about. Whatever lolling actually is. How does one loll, exactly? I hope I'm doing it right.
-
Lots of good word of mouth on TITANIC. Greatly looking forward to seeing and hearing it next Saturday.
-
There are strolling teams of lolling judges who’ll be glad to criticize your efforts, ChasSmith. They put the gag in lallygagging.
-
Onward!
-
Two!
-
Somehow, lollygagging sounds more active than simply lolling about.
-
Does lollygagging require a lollipop?
-
If you loll upon someone, are they the loll-ee?
-
How far can we take this?
-
Too far, apparently.
-
That's what I'm known for.
-
According to dictionary.com: lallygag or lollygag used to mean to kiss or engage in sexual activity.
-
Gag.
-
Is there a lull in lollying?
-

Excellent David Sedaris quote, singdaw!
-

Good sleep news for Larry!

I’ll drink to that. And one for Mahler.
Or for people doing dental work, one for Molar!

I fully agree. Barring a catastrophe in November -- which I hope will decimate the GOP -- I plan on lots of "Told you so" moments!

Very Warm for May - but it IS June after all.

One day my sister and brother are coming over to trim the out of control bush in the front yard and my brother is going to work on my washing machine....
I don't know if that happens today or tomorrow.
-
I am intrigued by that definition of lollygag which I have never heard before.
Who says the internet isn't educational? Certainly not true of HHW.
-
I had five - FIVE - vials of blood drawn and left some urine in a cup - by request.
All of my results seem good except my glucose which for some reason in VERY HIGH. I fasted.....hmmmm....I did have a cough drop, but I can't imagine that causing so much chaos.
-
At the Goodwill Store today I looked at the LPs. Mostly Lawrence Welk and Big Band and Polka music....
There were two LPs on the Vocalian STEREOPHONIC Label - one called Here's Eydie and another called Here's Steve - so you can imagine who recorded them. I liked the covers....but I ultimately passed on these two bargains.

It would have been quite a coincidence if the cast album for Broadway's likely Tony winner (expected to win for Best Play) STEREOPHONIC had also been on the STEREOPHONIC label.

Steve and Eydie "Hallelujah" dance

their last single to chart, only they'd released it under the name Parker and Penny
-
Where’s Steve?
-
Where’s Eydie?
-
Oh. They’re scattered in the thrift shops across the land.
-
They have an album I like that’s one of those Gordon Jenkins musicals written just for LP records.

Last night, I was getting cramps in my legs. They weren't debilitating, but they would last a few minutes at a time.

I'd move my legs to get a little more comfortable, and then it would start again. :P

Then, I fell asleep. ::)

This can sometimes be attributed to dehydration. Drink plenty of water, George! You might be amazed at how much water you need in your system to avoid dehydration.

I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of sleep even with being up for an hour early on.

I do have some "flavor enhancers" that also replace electrolytes, so I can start drinking those.

I’m halfway through Jamaica Inn. It’s Hitchcock all right. His camera moves the same way. He lets most of the actors do their job. But Charles Laughton hijacks the movie in a grotesque way that the movie never recovers from.
-
Hitchcock’s Mary was available on YouTube this morning. Now it’s gone.
-
TOD: Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life. Great driving music while making my fruit run to Andy's Orchard today.
-
I came back with Bing cherries, Black Republican cherries, and Honey Showers peaches.

Hitchcock’s Mary was available on YouTube this morning. Now it’s gone.
Movies come and go so quickly on the different streaming services these days...

DR George, I know you're probably not in the market for a new house at the moment, but perhaps this gambit might persuade you?
-
These two guys, identical twins, married two gals who were also identical twins, and each couple had a baby at around the same time.
So although the infants are technically cousins, genetically they are brothers.
-
What isn't shown is that, after this photo was taken, three young people (Charley, Mary, and Franklin), pushed them all into the pool.
-
Good afternoon.
-
For reasons unknown.
-
That damn appliance nearby is still chirping. Shoot me now.

A Sondheim reference?

A Jonathan Larson Tick Tick Boom reference?

Right on both counts, DR Freddie.

In our store, the checkout person actually removes stuff from your cart, scans it, and sends it down the belt to the bagger at the far end.

I ushered tonight for the 249th birthday of the Army. It was a last-minute gig. Afterwards, they were showing the original Hairspray on the Plaza. The movie wasn’t supposed to start until 9, but by the time I got out there, there was only 30 minutes left. Gleefully perverse. Perfect cast. Divine, Ricki Lake, Debbie Harry, Ruth Brown, Pia Zadora. So good.
-
Now visiting Shake Shack for the first time.
-
The burger was decent. The bacon on it was excellent. It came in a lettuce wrap. The shake is only okay.
-
So you're telling us that the Shake Shack's shake was shaky?
-
Shade!
-
I don't have it in me to take us to the next page, I'm afraid.
-
Tomorrow I have to attend a wedding I don't want to go to.
-
In a location an hour and half away.
-
The only saving grace is that I'm not invited to the reception.
-
So, apart from the driving time, it won't be a big commitment.
-
At least, that's what I'm telling myself.
-
And I am telling you, I'm
not going.
-
Good night, friends.
-
If someone has invited you to a wedding that requires you to drive for more than an hour, but doesn't think enough of you to invite you to the reception, is it truly mandatory that you go? And since you're not invited to the reception, wouldn't that make it all right to ignore giving a wedding gift?
If I don't want to go to something my conscience makes me believe I should, rationalizing the situation as I did above would guarantee my absenteeism.
"Oh! We so want you to see us get married, and we know it's a 'drive' for you, but we won't detain you with the reception because we are doing a small one with selected friends/relatives. You understand, I'm sure!"
No...no punch, no cake, no mingling? NO GOING.

The right decision. Miss Manners suggests a handwritten note wishing the couple all the best. If you feel do inclined.
-
I’m reclined right now.
-
Rehearsal went very well - much smoother and everyone knew their words. The way we like it.
-
Only eighteen seats left for the show.
-
Good evening
-
I just finished enjoying far too many potato chips with onion dip
-
In totally unrelated news I seem to be having difficulty losing unwanted pounds
-
We still have no landline telephone
-
The phone company is sending a guy tomorrow
-
It was a beautiful day today, high 80’s with a slight breeze
-
I was asked to do a closing “out east” so I had a lovely drive if about an hour or so each way with the radio playin* and the window open
-
Five seats.
-
And the closing was lovely too, everyone e on time, pleasant, efficient and knowledgeable.
-
A perfect drama free day
-
After work I went to church to set up the sanctuary for this weekend’s services
-
While I was in there I coukd see it getting darker and darker…by time I left, at 630, the sky was looking quite ominous
-
Nothing happened for a while but around 8 there was a tremendous clap of thunder which shook our windows, then the deluge came.
-
It lasted about 20 minutes then moved on
-
Great news on the rehearsal and show sales, BK!
-
WFO is still feeling poorly, and using oxygen
-
Ive not seen him now for three weeks , although we speak every day
-
I’m hoping he’s well enough for a visit next week
-
Vixdad and I have been rewatching the HBO limited series From Earth to the Moon ( we own it on dvd)
-
It is such a wonderfully done series

I highly recommend it

I've started listening to something called Magic, Lies, and Deadly Pies; A Pies Before Guys mystery. An exceptional pie makers lives for killing abusive men through deadly pies. There are at least two in the series. It's a cozy but it's not great.

Well, I wasn't in the market, but that's a pretty strong incentive. ;)

Sometimes (but not every time), I do.
-
In our store, the checkout person actually removes stuff from your cart, scans it, and sends it down the belt to the bagger at the far end.
The local Trader Joe's does it that way (but without the belt), but regular grocery stores don't have the checker remove items from anything other than the belt.
-
Tomorrow I have to attend a wedding I don't want to go to.
The only saving grace is that I'm not invited to the reception.
Really?? :o Usually, it's the other way around...you don't get invited to the wedding, but get to go to the reception.
-
Very strange.

Not to get political or anything, but...
The Donald Trump I Saw on The Apprentice (https://slate.com/culture/2024/05/donald-trump-news-2024-trial-verdict-apprentice.html)
For 20 years, I couldn’t say what I watched the former president do on the set of the show that changed everything. Now I can.
-
Very interesting read.
-
For dinner at Taco Bell, I had a Burrito Supreme (https://www.tacobell.com/food/burritos/burrito-supreme) and a Cheesy Double Beef Burrito (https://www.tacobell.com/food/burritos/cheesy-double-beef-burrito).
-
I've gotten the Cheesy Double Beef Burrito a few times before, and it's okay, but I always forget that it includes rice and the Fiesta Strips.
-
I've been getting things without rice to save a bit on the carbs, and the Fiesta Strips always seem like they're stale, even when the burrito is the first thing that I eat as soon as I sit down.
-
Or if I wait and let the strips soften in the heat and moisture of the burrito, I can't tell that they're even there, so what's the point of getting that burrito at all?? :-\
-
So, I need to remember to not get it anymore.
-
There's always hope. ;)
-
It must be said: I do not care for page seven.
-
George has taken a hike and we know he's not eating a burrito, having eaten two already.
-
Of course, he could be eating Steak Sinatra.
-
He could be eating linguini with clams.
-
He could be having chili, cheese, and onion fries.
-
He could be having a square burger on a round bun.

George must be having cramps.

Is there gaslighting going on?

See?
