It's raining like a sonuvabeach out there, probably for most of the day.

I didn't have a chance to even think about going this year, but this wipes out the last day of the very popular Bridgewater Country Fair. A couple of you probably know what that is.

I'm hoping to finish the last two chapters of Caleb Carr's My Beloved Monster today. It will be painful and heart-wrenching. The last chapter I read last night was a horrifyingly brutal setup, with a farm cat predator, the fisher, for the final two.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT

Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: elmore3003 on August 18, 2024, 05:53:34 AM
I find Carr's obscuring of time and names often frustrating. The chapter with the fisher takes place around twelve years after he adopted Masha and after the 2012 publication of his novel The Legend of Broken, which was originally intended to be three novels, and the 2014-15 TV production of The Alienist. I still have no idea what the year was when Masha was adopted or in what year she died.

He refers to people in his life by appellations like "My Older Brother," "Two Cat Woman," "the Lady Vet," or "My Mentor."

Happy SUNday to everyone...it's a warm weekend here in LA to go along with our very warm Summer. This week's Broadway Radio Show is Sounds of Summer as I sample 10 recent album releases, which all happen to feature some very talented female vocalists.  You'll hear Grammy winners like Janis Siegel and Tony winners like Patti LuPone along with newcomers like LA's own Natalie Jacob, the UK's Julie Atherton, and a trio of NY's finest performers.

And I am home.

DR FREDDIE I went for the express purpose of seeing Deadpool & Wolverine.

I liked it - the story was a mess - but it rolled right along and hit all the expected highs, lows, and middles.

It cost me $6.....I don't buy movie house treats.

I thought the sound system had a glitch, but about 3/4's of the way through the movie, I realized it was the guy sitting behind me crunching M&Ms very slowly - all the way through the moooooooooooovvvvviiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

DR JANE there were less than a dozen folks there....including a mother and her two young sons - at an R rated movie (they made half a dozen trips to the restroom during the movie).

I could have moved, I guess, but I am not steady in the dark - so I stayed put and lived through it.

I can  just figure he bought the FAMILY size bag.  He did leave before I did - I stayed for a lot of the credits.....so I don't know what he looked like.

My guess is - one BIG M&M.

I just watched the last 40 minutes of A Delicate Balance.

I have never read/seen the play.....but now I want to see it from the beginning.

Except that Joseph Cotten and Katharine Hepburn were too old compared to the other actors....it was excellent....and i can forgive that because of the performances they give.

Directed by Tony Richardson.  I read a biography of Tony Richardson written by the guy who wrote the novel INSIDE DAISY CLOVER - they had been at school together - and it was very interesting....and also disclosed an affair between the book author and Nicholas Ray......

I finished Caleb Carr's devastating dual biography of himself and his Siberian Forest cat Masha. I actually had three chapters to go when I posted this morning. Masha was close to twenty years old when she died on April 5. The year seems to be 2021, since he mentions a winter after 2020. I'm guessing his 17 years  of life with Masha were 2021. The encounter with the fisher, which I had read last night, happened just before the 2016 positive New York Times Book Review of his 2016 novel Surrender, New York.

After griping about generic names for character - My Mentor, Lady Vet - Carr does acknowledge many of them at the end of the book.

Then I ordered from a Chinese place that had mostly excellent reviews on Yelp, which proves once again that no one on Yelp has a clew about Chinese food. I ordered the small portion of orange chicken - their description uses the word CRISPY prominently. I added, "Extra crispy, please." I also ordered the appetizer of popcorn chicken.

Crispy. Extra crispy. Do words have no meaning anymore? What i got was the opposite of crispy - no crispy - anti-crispy - then we add completely flavorless to that and I ate about four or five pieces before depositing it in the trash.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 18, 2024, 06:59:42 PM
Then the popcorn chicken. The seasoning was fine (salt and pepper) but it was like eating seasoned erasers. I had about eight small pieces before it joined the anti-crispy orange chicken in the trash. What a waste of a meal and money. And it wasn't enough food for even halff a meal, so I fear I'm gonna have to order something else soon.

Happily, I had a couple of pieces of See's candy here and those helped. Also, I had nice fortunes from the two fortune cookies. They're not gonna be thrilled with the Yelp review but the point of Yelp reviews is to be truthful and that is what I intend to be, in my own light-hearted way.

Enjoying Hannah Waddingham in Ted Lasso.

She's amazing, and she gets to sing in a few episodes, which is a real treat.

Hope your Mom is feeling better soon.

Apparently, it's a lovely seventy-four outside. In here? Eighty-one.

Well, it's appropriate as we're on page eight.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 18, 2024, 10:42:10 PM
I mean, page nine.

Finished with my viewing.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 18, 2024, 10:42:56 PM
It's hot up here. It's hot and it's monotonous.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT

So wrote my close personal friend, Mr. Stephen Sondheim.

Hot spell.

Too darn hot.

Havin' a heat wave.

Steam heat.

Hot, hot, hot.

Have no idea how I'm supposed to sleep tonight, the sixth night in a row for this madness.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 18, 2024, 11:40:13 PM
None.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 18, 2024, 11:40:20 PM
Nada.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 18, 2024, 11:40:48 PM
George will probably show up in about twenty minutes.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 18, 2024, 11:41:00 PM
Probably.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 18, 2024, 11:41:08 PM
No certainty.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 18, 2024, 11:41:29 PM
In other news, it's hot.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 18, 2024, 11:42:51 PM
Maybe I'll sleep in the nude, but that would be crude, not to mention lewd and rude - I'd probably brood, or listen to the cast album of Drood.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 18, 2024, 11:43:19 PM
Or maybe I'll get stewed or eat some food.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 18, 2024, 11:44:11 PM
Or have some attitude.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 18, 2024, 11:44:32 PM
Bottom line - it's HOT.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 18, 2024, 11:45:10 PM
I've been drinking more Diet Cokes than usual as it's the only thing that is cooling.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 18, 2024, 11:45:39 PM
Thie is the big heat.

This is in the heat of the night.

Dear me.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT

I will take a shower before bed as that will relax me.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:00:37 AM
Well, George and his jam are certainly not jamming here.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:00:44 AM
He is elsewhere.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT

Eating a burrito.

Are we REALLY going to have a full page of me?
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:01:16 AM
I guess we did.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:01:35 AM
And I guess this is page ten. I like page ten.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:01:48 AM
A nice number.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:01:56 AM
I was ten once.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT

So was Benjamin Kritzer.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:02:20 AM
I'm hoping books will arrive this week.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:02:34 AM
George has two minutes to get here.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:03:05 AM
Because I WILL change the topic right after notes are posted, because I really need to sleep as much as I can.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:03:17 AM
Now he's got one minute.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:03:29 AM
Not very sporting of old George.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:03:42 AM
Later and later.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:04:04 AM
He has no minutes to arrive and the notes are going up in thirty seconds.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:04:35 AM
New notes are up.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT

I've seen them.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:04:55 AM
I've read them.
Title: Re: GRIN AND BEAR IT
Post by: bk on August 19, 2024, 12:05:02 AM
I wrote them.

BK, do you have a quiet little fan that you can have on while you sleep?
