Well, you've read the notes, the notes were tempestuous and had a teapot vibe, and now it is time for you to post until the tempestuous cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: CANICULAR!
-
George, be sure to see my last post in the closed thread - it answers your question about the harmony notes - and then mention this to elmore, because he prepared all the music, and I would imagine he proofed it. If there's something wrong, hopefully he will let R&H know, so that it can be fixed.
-
When I looked at the vocal score music, I just glanced at it and didn't make out what the notes where. I wonder if it just had the same two notes for both the men and women.
-
Thanks for the info, BK. I'll ask Josh what the specific notes were.

THOUGHTS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ON JOHN'S PASSING

Thoughts for DR td.
-
Last night's rehearsal of Act One was okay. I was off book - first time through was rough, second time through much better. Just needed prompting on a couple of things.
Act Two tonight will be much rougher.
Molly leaves for home today. It will not be a good day.
-
A few rehearsal pics, and yes I am losing a LITTLE weight....still working on it.

Good morning. That is all. So far.
-
Good morning, all! Today is my first day back to the McGlinnventory since all hell broke loose last month. Cusrious as I am to discover all that's there, I must admit that it's a drudge job I wish did not consume so much of my time. I haven't missed it. I am also dropping off the final act of MOST HAPPY FELLA to MTI today when I leave the office on Park Avenue. I don't know if they will give me the revised Act One today or not. I can't do a thing with it, though, until I finish Brent's album.
DR George, I looked at my R&H vocal score for "The Brain From Planet X," and Josh does not have 4-note chords for that section in the chorus part. However, I must also add that I have not seen the final chorus books but the notes are indeed D-flat and B-flat and the section from m. 45-54 is indeed in 2-part harmony. I am assuming that the vocal books are in my hand as I turned them in to R&H, I did get a call about a list of vocal ranges when I was in Ohio and the person I spoke to told me he would takecare of that. And that's all I know.

Thoughts for DR MATTH on his doctor visit today.
DR JMK did you ask the attendants if you would be able to do the bossa nova when the MRI was finished?
-
Ten years ago, school would have already been in session with this hot weather and all of us wilting at recess in the heat. I must say I don't miss it at all these days. That seems like a lifetime ago.
-
I have moved a second time to a different temporary location. I don't know how long I will be here. It's close to my old work station/cubicle but that space is still not ready. Perhaps by Friday or Monday I can be back where I belong. At least where I am now is not completely open. No one else is here and even though I'm in the open I'm not surrounded by people.
Back to Memphis, not the new musical headed for Broadway but the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis.
-
Ugh, it's miserable here. We are on heat alert and have an official heat wave. I will go home at lunch and sit in the cool air and then return home after work as soon as possible to do the same.
-
Thanks, all, for the positive thoughts about my MRI today. I had a rocky (not the movie) night and woke up very queasy this morning although some Coke to settle my stomach and some yougurt have made me feel much better.
I left the driver's license thing open to how I was feeling, but obviously, I didn't make it there this morning. I haven't even showered yet,
-
The next review item on my agenda is ADVENTURELAND on Blu-ray. I will watch the movie and whatever bonus features I can manage this afternoon. I'll finish it when I get in from the hospital tonight. Since I only have RESCUE ME on television tonight, I won't even need to turn on the cable box to watch regular TV this evening. I can finish the work disc and come upstairs and start on the review. That will certainly make for a different kind of Tuesday evening.

I watched the MAD MEN season opener on Demand last night. Most intriguing and entertaining, although the takeover by the British firm seems to be a rather tired plot device that will lead to angst but not necessarily anything really interesting. The writers had barely begun to explore the office politics of the people we already knew.

Thank you, DR td. I'm sure my blood pressue is going to go through the roof when I get there. I do not handle new situations like this at all well.
-
It's a lovely morning here.
When I got out of bed, I glanced out my window, there was a doe standing near my driveway. She must've heard the sounds of me rising, for she looked up at my window for a few moments then went back to munching leaves.
So nice that Miss Dixie Bell and I have already had our cemetery run! We stopped on the way at the Post Office where the postmistress was taking care of her flowers. Dixie Bell loves meeting new people, and Rhonda even gave her a doggie treat.
I was looking at my new Maltin guide this morning and found that I must take it back to Borders: the "L"s start with "Li" goes onto the "M"s, then repeats the "Li - lu" entries. Quite strange.

Condolences to DR td and his family. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MRI vibes for DR MattH. Remember to get the ear plugs! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
That is funny. I posted after only reading to the end of page 1. And DR Elmore and i wrote the exact same thing about ear plugs.
See if the place has better ones. Not sure if they would give regular ones or a headset with music or something.
DR MattH, don't let it stress you out. As long as you're not claustrophobic it shouldn't be that bad. And maybe your place has the one that is open on the sides.
-
and yes I am losing a LITTLE weight
You are looking GREAT, DR JRand58! Way to go!!!
But... There's less of you to love! :)

Perhaps by Friday or Monday I can be back where I belong.

Yes he is making quite a stir doing the wrong things on both ends so to speak - so we shall see.

JRand, loved the pics.
-
MattH, vibes for the MRI.
I had an MRI and actually found lying in that big tube quite relaxing.
-
I am home sick today. No vibes needed, however. It is just a mild cold or allergies. My sister thinks something is pressing on my brain, but I am not really sure what she meant by that.

Oh, sure, NOW you tell you me. :) They would have helped as much for the "soft rock" coming through the headphones as for the actual MRI noise.

Tuesday morning greetings! I slept quite late today, after being awake in the wee hours of the morning with a slight stomach upset - go figure.

Thank you to DRs MichaelS and FJL for the condolences I found this morning.

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the Dear Mother of DR Ginny!!!! :D :D :D
DR DAW, today is the birthday of my DEAR SISTER, but I'm wondering if you're following the custom of sending the birthday wishes to the person who did all the work! I used to know someone who always celebrated her own birthday by sending flowers to her mother.
-
Brain relaxing vibes for DR MBARNUM....glad you liked the pics.
-
Well, with all the tsuris we've been experiencing, I thought we could use some levity, so I'm thinking about starting a new HHW tradition, the daily Onion headline. Today's headline, from April 9, 1942:
LADIES, NEGROES MOMENTARILY USEFUL

Maybe those are what are pressing on his brain.

Happy Birthday to the sister of DR GINNY.
-
Well, I've done my morning internet surf. I didn't see a lot going on this morning.
-
Thank you, DRs Jennifer and Ginny. I'm sure as the time for it gets closer, the butterflies are going to increase.
-
I guess I'll head down now and get showered and dressed for the rest of my day.

Last night we watched AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER, which neither of us had seen before. While I liked it a lot, I couldn't help feeling that it could have been improved slightly by a little judicious editing.

But Hollywood doesn't pay me the big bucks, so what do I know?
-
Good Morning! Hope we are all feeling good today. If not good, at least OK then.
-
My DH and I went for an early-morning walk to enjoy the cool August morning.
I don't think I have ever used those words together: "cool August morning." But this is such a weird summer that it was true.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And, actually, I've been up for a while, but spent a few hours just listening to NPR before I finally put my feet on the floor.
-
But this is such a weird summer
Yes.
And the weather has been unusual, too.
-
I am home sick today. No vibes needed, however. It is just a mild cold or allergies. My sister thinks something is pressing on my brain, but I am not really sure what she meant by that.
Umm... Didn't you just get another shipment of Bollywood movies at the end of last week? Hmmm... ;)

I'm up, I'm up. Very overcast outside.

He's been working on taxes at his day job.

Since you're coming into NYC for work, why don't you tell us when would be good and not good for an HHW gathering. We could plan something, but it could end up conflicting with one of your previously scheduled activities.

That's what I thought... ;)
-
I'm also still working out my schedule for next week. Yes, my birthday is next week, but it turns out my cousin from Seattle will be back in town, and my brother, Jay, will be heading East next week too. So, it looks like I'll be down be back down in Virginia for a few days next week. I just don't which days those will be yet. -It will be the first time that all four Simbulan boys and all the grandchildren will be together since the Christmas of 2007. Or as my mother would like to call it: Photo Op. ;)
-
I'll be working every day for about three or four hours - so any evening get-together would work just fine.

I'll be working every day for about three or four hours - so any evening get-together would work just fine.
Now we know! ;)
No plans to see any shows? No other dinners planned with anyone? Is there one evening that would work better for you? Any particular restaurant you want to dine at?
Just asking, not planning.

I've made no plans at all as of yet.

DR DAW - THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today's laugh-o-rama department: Just heard from the nurse. I don't have a tear (thankfully), but do have some sort of "signficant trauma," which she described in terms I could not understand. But then she said it was akin to "runner's knee" and said "this does happen quite a lot with athletes," implying I have athletic tendencies. After I finished laughing, I thanked her.

OH! Sounds like your (foot) pedaling may be the culprit. -I was dealing with some issues in my right leg a few years ago. It turned out that my muscles were out of balance due to all the damper and patch-change pedaling I was doing. Additionally, sitting on a bench with my knee at an "unnatural" angle for extended periods of time, also strained some things. Stretch and bring your own chair to gigs (which I'm sure you already do). In any case...
Did the nurse say you should come in for a follow-up visit?

However, I must also add that I have not seen the final chorus books but the notes are indeed D-flat and B-flat and the section from m. 45-54 is indeed in 2-part harmony. I am assuming that the vocal books are in my hand as I turned them in to R&H, I did get a call about a list of vocal ranges when I was in Ohio and the person I spoke to told me he would take care of that.

I'll ask Josh if I can get copies of each to make sure that my memory is at least somewhat accurate. ;)

I loved the romantic banter between Mr. Grant and Ms. Kerr on the ship but agree about the editing. I thought the first version of the movie was a little tighter, but I liked the chemistry better in the second.

They grow up so quickly department: Gabe just shared this joke with me, after warning me it might be considered inappropriate. :)
George Washington, George Bush (the younger), and Bill Clinton are leading a boatful of freedom fighters across the river. The boat begins taking on water. They dispatch the lifeboats and George Washington shouts, "Women and children first." Bush jumps, screaming "Screw the women." Clinton looks around and asks, "Is there time?"

I just had to look up a reservation on USAirways "new and improved" website, and, well... It took me a few minutes to figure out the intersecting-tic-tac-toe-grid-looking thingy. ::) -Thankfully, after clicking past that screen, the regular grid came up. But, seriously, I was confused for a bit. And I'm not one to be easily confused. I mean, I might play dumb every once in a while, but.. ;)
-
Considering I didn't have much planned today, I haven't stopped since arising, and haven't even done the long jog, which I guess I'll do now. I've done some but not all of the postage - without a helper here, it takes a long time.

My first day back on the McGlinnventory was fun, and everyone I usually see at the law firm seemed happy to see me back, which was nice. The only things of real interest were the original deshon Piano-conductor for the Albert Hague-Josh Logan MISS MOFFAT, which Bette Davis closed out of town in 1976 (how did McGlinn steal that from Chelsea Music?), a Vocal Score for SWEENEY TODD signed by Len Carious and Harold Prince, and John's Grammy for SHOW BOAT.
Then I had a lovely visit with Terry Lee at MTI. I gave him MOST HAPPY FELLA and we had an interesting discussion about the new orchestra parts for WEST SIDE STORY and the Bernstein office.

DR elmore - :)
So - and you may not be able to discuss this publicly, but... Does part of your McGlinnventory duties include returning certain materials to their original (rightful?) owners?

It took me a few minutes to figure out the intersecting-tic-tac-toe-grid-looking thingy. ::) -Thankfully, after clicking past that screen, the regular grid came up. But, seriously, I was confused for a bit. And I'm not one to be easily confused. I mean, I might play dumb every once in a while, but.. ;)
Uh oh. I am in trouble. I use USAirways quite a bit, and I AM dumb.

True/Slant Exclusive: David Mamet’s “Anne Frank” script LEAKED (http://trueslant.com/davidrees/2009/08/14/trueslant-exclusive-david-mamets-anne-frank-script-leaked/)
This is only NSFW if you read it out loud. ;)
Hy-f*ckin'-sterical!
-
They grow up so quickly department: Gabe just shared this joke with me, after warning me it might be considered inappropriate. :)
George Washington, George Bush (the younger), and Bill Clinton are leading a boatful of freedom fighters across the river. The boat begins taking on water. They dispatch the lifeboats and George Washington shouts, "Women and children first." Bush jumps, screaming "Screw the women." Clinton looks around and asks, "Is there time?"
This is pretty darned funny, too! ;D

I am home sick today. No vibes needed, however. It is just a mild cold or allergies. My sister thinks something is pressing on my brain, but I am not really sure what she meant by that.
Umm... Didn't you just get another shipment of Bollywood movies at the end of last week? Hmmm... ;)
How did you know?

DR JON, DN OF DR CILLA,
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r282/tmdfamily/JonsBirthdayParty006.jpg)
AND A HAPPY DAY TO YOUR TWIN DAVID![/b]
-
My DH and I went for an early-morning walk to enjoy the cool August morning.
I don't think I have ever used those words together: "cool August morning." But this is such a weird summer that it was true.
How nice for you.
-
Today's laugh-o-rama department: Just heard from the nurse. I don't have a tear (thankfully), but do have some sort of "signficant trauma," which she described in terms I could not understand. But then she said it was akin to "runner's knee" and said "this does happen quite a lot with athletes," implying I have athletic tendencies. After I finished laughing, I thanked her.
;D
Now what?
-
Back from the long jog, and now I shall do more postage, after which I'll have to get something to eat.
-

A Very Happy Birthday to DR JHVW and his TB David!!
-
Happiest of birthdays to DR jhvw and his twin David!
-
Hi Ginny. Did your sister receive her birthday flowers?
-
DR Jane - haven't heard from my sister yet. She volunteers in the genealogy department at her local public library on Tuesday mornings, so I knew she'd be away then. The family grapevine has informed me that while she was working at the library someone called her and invited her to play golf this afternoon, so she hasn't been home yet. Good thing her husband is!
I talked to her last night and she told me about her birthday present from her husband. They went to one of the car dealerships that's going out of business and bought file cabinets, which he painted fire-engine red. He made a white countertop and that plus two 2-drawer file cabinets will comprise her new work station. She also has a 3-drawer file cabinet. This is all to accommodate her paper-dependent hobbies, genealogy and scrap-booking.
-
DR Ginny, such an interesting volunteer job. Keith occasionally volunteers to do genealogy research for friends. He is currently working on the new in-laws. We were pleasantly surprised to find my cousins in Chicago have an interest in our family history. Yesterday we mailed them a genealogy CD which included 108 images.
Nice birthday gift :)

DR elmore - :)
So - and you may not be able to discuss this publicly, but... Does part of your McGlinnventory duties include returning certain materials to their original (rightful?) owners?
Yep.

The Diary of Anne Frank by
Anne Frank as reinterpreted by
David Mamet
I didn't know whether to laugh or be offended.
So I chose to be both.
I have visited the attic in Amsterdam. Difficult to laugh once you've been there and to Bergen Belsen,
-
I got a call from Greg Edelman while i was out, and now he's away from his phone.
It's too warm, the AC is doing little to help and i'm drowsy. I may fill the tub with cool water and play YMCA for a bit.
-
DR Michael S, I'm not sure I would have the heart to go to both those places. I admire those who go.
-
I wonder how DR Matt H is doing & hope the MRI was not as traumatic as he feared.
-
A few rehearsal pics, and yes I am losing a LITTLE weight....still working on it.

TOD:
JUDY GARLAND - FROM THE VAULTS AT MGM
I thought DAW said she was buried in New York?
-
I am home sick today. No vibes needed, however. It is just a mild cold or allergies. My sister thinks something is pressing on my brain, but I am not really sure what she meant by that.
Maybe she thinks you're queer.
-
Yes, the nurse informed me my condition was exacerbated by movement...and by sitting. What else is there? ;)
Boy, you do have a short memory.
-
I have nothing to say today, except that Jane and the kittens get spayed/neutered on Friday. Then they will go to adoptions on Saturday.
-
Do you all remember my handyman George? He came through his eye operation fine but he cannot do any work for another week. Please send him some vibes for a speedy recovery so I can get him in here ASAP to hook these bookcases up to the wall. My apartment is in chaos until then and i will stop coping in about 3 days of this madness.
Currently, since i've taken all the books down that I can, I cannot find anything and the big job is tomorrow when the super's grandson helps me take all the bookdsdown and sort for keeping and shipping to Miami U. After tomorrow, until I can replace items on the bookcase, I can live only in a tiny amount of space in the apartment. Oy!
-
I have nothing to say today, except that Jane and the kittens get spayed/neutered on Friday. Then they will go to adoptions on Saturday.
OMG--don't tell Keith.

The bath was great. I feel cool and refreshed.
Eeeeew, the news is talking about Bernie Madoff's penile endowment. His mistress is something and telling.

DAW, miracles do occur. Someone has finally gotten over the rainbow, so to speak.

I am SO glad that is not a euphemism, DR JMK! :)

***SPEEDY RECOVERY VIBES***
for DR elmore3003's handyman, George!!!!!
-
I've always thought AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER was too long.
-
Back from MRI-land. If I hadn't been in pain, it would have been a breeze.
However, if I hadn't been in pain, I likely wouldn't have needed an MRI.
-

Page Six Dance!!!
-
I did watch last night's RAISING THE BAR while I ate a slight lunch. Good episode with a heartbreaking result for one of the cases.
-
Since I started lunch so early, I also watched next week's season finale of NURSE JACKIE. Wow! What a way to end the season!
-
Back from MRI-land. If I hadn't been in pain, it would have been a breeze.
However, if I hadn't been in pain, I likely wouldn't have needed an MRI.
When will you hear back about the results?
-
Then I watched today's work project - ADVENTURELAND on Blu-ray. Made by the same director as SUPERBAD, another reminiscence of a turning point in one's life. Not all that funny and not all that dramatic. Very mediocre.
-
Back from MRI-land. If I hadn't been in pain, it would have been a breeze.
However, if I hadn't been in pain, I likely wouldn't have needed an MRI.
A couple of days, she said.
When will you hear back about the results?
-
I had time to get all of the bonus features watched, too. Not much there of interest either.
-
Before I got picked up for the MRI, I had time to skim through two soaps: Y&R had nothing of interest.
OLTL continued very wonderfully with the Kyle-Fish story. I'm really enjoying what's going on here.
-
I have nothing to say today, except that Jane and the kittens get spayed/neutered on Friday. Then they will go to adoptions on Saturday.
Will there be one last video, maybe some photos?

You young MTV-educated whippersnappers
I've never watched MTV. ;)
And even if I had, I wouldn't consider myself educated. Or even edified. :D
Hey, wait a minute! MTV is my only national television exposure.

I just did a video a few minutes ago. I'll have to see if I can get them to calm down for a final portrait series.
-
Back from MRI-land. If I hadn't been in pain, it would have been a breeze.
That is good news otherwise it would have been much worse. Did you take any medication to relax you or help with the pain before the MRI?
-
DR elmore - :)
So - and you may not be able to discuss this publicly, but... Does part of your McGlinnventory duties include returning certain materials to their original (rightful?) owners?

DR MattH - ADVENTURELAND was shot here in the 'burgh!
How does Kennywood Park look on film?
I'd heard so many mixed things about the film itself that I decided to wait until it reached home video to see it.
-

I did, but even the Vicodin has minimal effect on the pain when the arm is put in certain positions. Anyway, it's over now, and I'm grateful to have gotten through it.

The park looks great. Brought back lots of memories about amusement parks from "my era."(Looks much worse in the bonus features).
-
I'm going to try to write up today's work project. If my arm gets too weary, I'll just save the rest until later/tomorrow.
WBBL (maybe).
-
In today's mail/UPS:
Coraline, Blu-ray
The Last Starfighter, Blu-ray
Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation, Std.
High School Confidential, Std. (Hey, Mikey!)
-
Tonight's the NIGHT:
Big Brother 11 and one certain player's meltdown/expulsion from the house!
Histrionics guaranteed.
-
Almost finished with the postage stuff. Only had two tiny packages today and no regular mail.
-
I mean to put birthday wishes on the first page, but it was late and I forgot.
-
So much for a light day - hardly light.
-
We had a high of 81 today. Going to get up to 79 tomorrow. Sorry you guys are suffering, but this is great

I know. Half way through my first one the pain overwhelmed the mild tranquilizer I took.
Vibes they find an easy fix!
-
and yes I am losing a LITTLE weight
You are looking GREAT, DR JRand58! Way to go!!!
But... There's less of you to love! :)
Well...a bit.... LOL
You are looking great JRand!

Oh, thanks for the heads up. I haven't watched too much, but BB meltdowns are always fun
-
Well, jury duty was ok. I did make it to the panel after one person was excused. They asked me quite a few questions and it was pretty clear to me that the defense lawyer (insurance co. for the school that was being sued for not protecting Native American siblings from being assaulted) did not want me on the jury. So I was struck in the final cut
It's ok, actually, because I'm really busy at the office. It was only supposed to be a 2 day trial, but Edith is on vacation all next week, so we're trying to get a lot done before she goes.
-
Yogi, along with his parents, wearing the Phillies bandanna I bought him.

-
Thanks all for the birthday wishes for Jon and David. They are going to spend tonight going out together. I guess it's been years since they've spent their birthday together, so they were both pretty excited about that. They are 26 today

that would be a hung juror (hanged actually, but doesn't sound as good)
-
We are home after Richard attended the meeting at the church to finalize Thursday's service for John. Tomorrow and the next day promise to be grueling, but I'm pretty much staying in the background. It's actually kind of odd for there to be a big family event for which I don't have major responsibility.
-
We had a high of 81 today. Going to get up to 79 tomorrow. Sorry you guys are suffering, but this is great
We could really use that kind of weather for the next several days - send it our way, please!
-
I'll go outside and turn the fans on to shoot it to the east a little faster.....
-
Time to go mow the back yard. It's not nearly as big as the front yard, so it shouldn't take long
-
DR Ginny, Vibes of comfort, vibes surviving the grueling days, and vibes you get a break in the weather.
-
Thanks Cilla.
LOL TCB. Sometimes lousy eye sight can be entertaining. ;)
-
Vibes for Ginny's entire family.
-
Thanks, DRs Cillaliz, Jane, and Laura. Richard and I have decided that Friday or Saturday we're going on a dinner/movie date.
-
I hope you have the energy for your date.
-
Ha, ha, Jane, we're only talking dinner and a movie! It will just be nice to eat in a restaurant that's not in a hospital and watch someone else's drama (Juie and Julia's, probably) for a change.
-
Well I would need a drink at dinner & then fall asleep during the movie ;)
Sounds like a good choice in movies, from what I hear about it.
-
My sister just called to tell me that the flowers I sent "made her day." :D

I just finished doing everything I had to do - well, not quite, but I'll do the rest in the morning - it's just addressing some UPS waybills for big orders - six of them. Otherwise, all packages have postage attached and now it's just inserting the CDs and getting them to the post office. I decided we're going live with Gaily/Minsky's at midnight tonight - I want to try and get as many orders in and printed as possible before leaving for NY, so I thought the extra day would be helpful.
-
Watching Lost, Season Five now - I do hope this entire season isn't going off on all these weird and hard to follow tangents, because it's beginning to be irritating. And I must say, my least favorite actor on the show is the guy who plays Daniel Faraday - one of these hopeless whispering, mumbling twit actors I can't stomach. Everyone else talks nice and loud on this show except for this guy and I just want to hurl my shoe at him and say, "Speak up, idiot - the people standing next to you, if they didn't know your lines, would never be able to hear a word you're saying."
-
I've prepared our eBlast for later, and sent out my dealer advance notices - so at midnight, I'll send the eBlast, put it up at Film Score Monthly's message board, and put it on Facebook and Twitter - and hopefully, come morning, I'll have lots and lots of orders.
-
That's a very nice picture, Jane!
-
And now, I'm off. Off to my sister's. She bought me a cookie in Portland.
Yippie.
;)
I'm sure it'll be very good.
Until later!
-
G'night!
-
Thanks DR George.
-
God in heaven! Thunder, lightning and a real storm with pouring rain. It's really noisy outside! I thought the rain was tomorrow.
-
Elmore, you are getting the summer storms that WE are supposed to be getting. Not fair!
-
Elmore, you are getting the summer storms that WE are supposed to be getting. Not fair!
Well, I hope it cools things down.
-
It would have cooled us down to around 100 degrees.
-
Can we knock it off with the rain in New York? No rain until after I leave!
-
;D
We could use rain. The fire danger is at extreme.
'night
-
When I finished writing my review (waited until now to post it), I headed back down and had some comfort food - chocolate ice cream. I had only eaten about 300 calories today, and I no only felt I needed comfort food but something I'd really enjoy eating and would fill me up. It was grand.
-
Again, I turned to documentaries for comfort, I took out THE WIZARD OF OZ and watched the documentaries on that set's second disc. A couple of the newer ones I hadn't watched before, so that was fun. Nothing new to learn, but it passed the time easily and pleasantly.
-
I did take a few minutes to scan through today's ATWT, but Luke and Noah weren't on today nor were they in the previews for tomorrow's show.
-
The kittens discover toilet paper.

Did you get his phone number for DR TCB?

It turns out that our DVR, as well, missed recording this week's The Closer. And it doesn't appear to be scheduled to repeat. One of the first times our machine has failed us in this way. I suppose someone somewhere forgot to tag this as a NEW episode. >:(
-
Think I'll head down now and try to get some sleep. It's been a long, long day.
Good night!
-

If they do as they've been doing, they'll repeat this week's episode next Monday at 8 p.m. before the season finale episode. Don't know for sure that's going to happen, but it has been their policy up to now.
-
And now I'm REALLY going!
;D

Seriously, some people whisper. Some people talk at a "normal" level. And others are "loud-talkers". Whispering is nothing new.
bk - Just keep watching and try not to let it bother you. There could be worse things to dampen your enjoyment of the series, any series.

Laura-
Knowing you and your DH, I can actually hear this little exchange between you!
-
First was awakened by the car alarm of the cretin who lives across the street. We live right next to the train tracks, and every time a Metro North diesel train goes by [several times a day], this guy's SUV car alarm goes off. You'd think he'd be considerate and - oh, I don't know - have the sensitivity level of his alarm system adjusted? But no, it's easier to make everyone in a several block radius suffer daily. Then Zach started barking due to the thunder and lighting. So I guess I'm up for a while. :)

Truly, Laura DR's and DR Sandra's conversation excerpts could be made into a wonderful book.
Hilarity would ensue.

bk - I say stick with Season Five, the payoffs are thrilling.
I'm sorry that you don't like Daniel Faraday, but he's been one of my favorite characters since his first appearance. The Desmond/Daniel-centric episode, "The Constant" (in season four) is my all-time favorite episode of the series.
I don't think that the character of Faraday calls for "Sturm and Drang" acting, and his soft-spoken nature is such of a socially-challenged scientist, who has probably had more conversations with his lab animals than with humans; I think the acting choice is right for the character, though I never really thought of his performance as "whispering."
On a similar note, I have come across an actor whose speaking DID bother me: on TRUE BLOOD, the ancient vampire Godfried's portray spoken most of his lines in a halting, nearly stuttering way that just made me want to throw my shoe at the teevee.

And I must say, my least favorite actor on the show is the guy who plays Daniel Faraday - one of these hopeless whispering, mumbling twit actors I can't stomach. Everyone else talks nice and loud on this show except for this guy and I just want to hurl my shoe at him and say, "Speak up, idiot - the people standing next to you, if they didn't know your lines, would never be able to hear a word you're saying."
Odd, because I never had any trouble understanding/hearing him. But...for what's worth, Bruce...the 5th Season is my favorite, thus far. Many developments ahead....!!!!
I'M BEGINNING TO WONDER IF SOMEONE MAY NEED A HEARING AID?
::)
Seriously, some people whisper. Some people talk at a "normal" level. And others are "loud-talkers". Whispering is nothing new.
bk - Just keep watching and try not to let it bother you. There could be worse things to dampen your enjoyment of the series, any series.
Not necessarily in need of a hearing aid. All of us react differently to certain pitches...and some voices can really irritate us. In this case, it could be the pitch of the actor's voice pushes a lot of buttons for BK.
Remember that report a couple of decades ago about some guy who had seizures every time a TV entertainment show aired and that the cause was the voice of that show's female co-star? I think it was "Entertainment Tonight", but I don't recall the woman's name.

On a similar note, I have come across an actor whose speaking DID bother me: on TRUE BLOOD, the ancient vampire Godfried's portray spoken most of his lines in a halting, nearly stuttering way that just made me want to throw my shoe at the teevee.
Do you mean Godfrey/Godric?
Yeah, he's the one. . .
My reaction to him was completely different. He had a very soft speaking voice. His syntax that was a bit different...an off beat here or there....but he always spoke his words distinctly.

But who was the MOTHER of Godzilla?
Godzelda, of course.

Tonight's the NIGHT:
Big Brother 11 and one certain player's meltdown/expulsion from the house!
Histrionics guaranteed.
I have been counting the minutes until it starts!!!!
POSSIBLE SPOILAGE
I have to say I was a bit disappointed in what they showed us. SO MUCH was done before Allison called Chima into the diary room, including Natalie and Chima hiding the other housemate's clothes and doing other ugly things. Chima was on my radar from the git-go as a wholly unsuitable misfit of a player. Her brand of entitlement is nothing more than selfishness magnified to an unlimited degree.
Lydia is a major disappointment as a human being...especially one who was, allegedly, a nanny for Paul McCartney's ex-wife. She's been saved by Jeff several times in either his voting for someone else to leave or by his taking her off the block. And now she is so viciously bitchy to him for, apparently, saving her and evicting Jessie. Her calling Jordan a "ho" is indicative of what a skank she really is. As one can read in Dingo's Hamsterwatch online, it was Lydia who gave Jessie various forms of "release" in the quiet and darkness of the HOH room.
Funny how Natalie said, in the diary room, that she had been running the house up until recently. Yes, she's bitter, but she's a poor sport for a so-called "athlete."
I just don't get Kevin and why he is so invested in his coven of losers. He seems pretty smart. And to his credit, he has no enemies in the house.
End SPOILAGE

And now....
Presenting "Total Eclipse of the Heart" as a FLOWCHART (http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_kojs29L9OU1qzd1jno1_r2_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=0RYTHV9YYQ4W5Q3HQMG2&Expires=1250713815&Signature=czoEpNiblt5qaET3wI8eiOFB2mg=).

No, today's actors whisper and mumble - has nothing to do with a hearing aid - I hear everyone else just fine. He's just not a good actor, and I hate this "style" of acting - I find it appalling. It doesn't ruin my enjoyment - it just annoys me when he's onscreen.

JRand and Bk, just a reminder that this DVD set came out today....
(http://www.dvdtown.com/images/displaymedia.php?id=26848&sizew=500&cat=3&type=1&page=0)
It's here and I've checked out the transfers, which look quite nice.

Ooh, Adam 12 Season Three! More great shots of the Valley as it was.

Yes, RLP, Lydia was orignally one of my favorites but now I do not care for her at all. When she watches this season for herself she will see that Jessie didn't give a darn about her. Natalie also appears to be one of those "mean drunks."
Natalie is very immature and Chima should never have been part of this contest to begin with. Don't these people realize this is a game they are playing?!

Natalie and Lydia were both immersed in the cult of Jessie. I think they, and Chima, are lithium-deprived. Rational thought doesn't apply to their behavior or actions.
The sad thing about Lydia leaving this week, if she does, is that she will expect to rush into the arms of Jessie in the jury house. But....now that he's out of the game, I wonder how much time he'll actually have for her. ;)

And now, I'm off. Off to my sister's. She bought me a cookie in Portland.
Yippie.
;)
I'm sure it'll be very good.
Until later!
One cookie? Hope it's a really good one
Actually, it was a very good one and three-quarters of another one! It wasn't just a cookie...it was two six-inch chocolate chip cookies sandwiched with vanilla frosting! I haven't tried it yet, but it looks YUMMY! Also, my sister bought herself a frosting-filled snickerdoodle sandwich cookie of the same size. She had had about a quarter of it and didn't want any more of it, so I took it. I did try that one and it's very good. :D
-
She also brought me a bag of cashew-coconut brittle. I LOVE cashews and coconut and (usually peanut) brittle, so having all three (without the peanuts) sounds de-lish!

Today from UPS, I received a 1 Terabyte external hard drive (http://www.onsale.com/ttsvr/p/Fantom-Drives-External-Hard-Drives/product~dpno~7532251~pdp.ejchfbh)...and with the two $40 rebates (and $8 shipping), it'll only end up costing me $78! I love deals like that!

I'm watching TV right now...just had to share. :)

And since we're so close...
