Well, you've read the notes, the notes had the thing and the periods, and now it is time for you to post until the period cows come home - they're currently in 1886.

And the word of the day is: INENARRABLE!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Good morning, all! I have another McGlinnventory day, followed by God knows what. Last night I had a peculiar dream involving a holiday maybe Thanksgiving, an apartment full of dogs of all breeds and ages, amd the only other person I remember in the dream was a girl I had a crush on in junior high and high school . I also remember a door that needed painting at one end of a hall and another door at the other end that was fine.
TOD: Vampire movies? I remember lots of cheesy ones from the 50s and 60s, but I did like these:
THE BRIDES OF DRACULA
VAMPIRE CIRCUS
MARTIN
LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH (This movie creeped me out; I think it's a vampire film)
-
Thursday morning greetings! Woke up early again this morning - I have some deadlines that I'm having trouble meeting and they're keeping me awake. Anyone want to speak to a group of grantwriters on August 3?

I could talk to them about Grant's tomb. Or Cary Grant.
-
LOL, DR Elmore! I just might take you up on that...
-
Okay, it's time to depart. I have nothing in this place for breakfast so I think I will mosey down to Park & 23rd Street and find a smackerel.
-
Good morning. It is too early.

Morning, all. It is way too early.

Favorite vampire movies? I was a "Dark Shadows" fan as a kid, but the movie versions of Dracula or other vampires were never quite as successful as I thought they should have been. That said, I loved both the original "Nosferatu" and Werner Herzog's remake with Klaus Kinski and Bruno Ganz. For the sheer fun of it, I also liked "Blacula." The original "Blade" was also good.
-
A Swedish vampire movie????

Ginny, I guess i have been away from HHW way too much! Wha happened to retirement?

Hmmmmmmmmmm......well the car is repaired, so I am waiting for my brother to take to me to pick it up. Just needed a tune up and a new spark plug wire.....$122.....which is okay.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....... Favorite. Vampire. Movie. Ever.
The Fearless Vampire Killers
Kiss of the Vampire
Blood of Dracula
Return of the Vampire
Night of AND House of Dark Shadows
-
Ginny, I guess i have been away from HHW way too much! Wha happened to retirement?
DR FJL, Richard keeps asking me the same thing. This particular issue has to do with a commitment I'd made to a professional organization while I was still working. My term on their board runs through December, 2010, and it can't come soon enough, believe me!
-
TOD:
I've never been a big fan of vampire (or any horror) movies, but there are definitely exceptions.
SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE w/Willem Dafoe
and
HORROR OF DRACULA w/Christopher Lee (my former client), who was the best Dracula of them all.
Surprisingly, after I discovered them, I became a fan of:
BUFFY, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and ANGEL
And, I also am enjoying TRUE BLOOD.
I'm a sucker for good writing. [No pun intended.]

And the word of the day is: INENARRABLE!

DRACULA (1931)
DRACULA'S DAUGHTER (1936)
HOUSE OF DRACULA (1945)
ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (and Dracula) (1948)
and my all time favorite vampire movie...THE BLOOD OF DRACULA (1957)
(http://204.244.128.121/assets/product_images/1020/526968.1020.a.jpg)

TOD - The Lost Boys
Hello everybody! It's Thursday. Annie resumes tonight, which is fun. More trips to Italy and then Agrahbah today also. I'm ready for camps to be over. There is still about two weeks left. Other that that, same stuff, different day.

-
I, too, am a fan of the TV shows Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. Angel, and True Blood. Buffy is my all-time favorite show.
In films, I've really enjoyed Near Dark and Lifeforce (go figure...it's really bad, but it has many amazing things in it, not the least of which is a dazzling score by Henry Mancini).
I'm also quite partial to the original TV version of Stephen King's Salem's Lot.
-
I never thought of ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN as a vampire movie, but I guess it is.
It is definitely a favorite.

It is hotter than hell at the office and the copier is working poorly. I am neither amused nor happy at the moment.
Today's McGlinnventory went well; we unpacked and sorted around 12 cartons of books and got all of the orchestra scores on the shelves. I'm trying to copy the original libretto for SWEET ADELINE, which is unbound, but since McGlinn was a complete slob and pig, the libretto is missing the last part of the final scene of Act One sand first page of Act Two. I doubt any more of it will turn up. So, I will photocopy what I can for myself and return the remainder to Rodgers & Hammerstein, who may have another copy. We'll see.

Punctuation's classical use is to support syntax; it has a secondary use to support "sounding aloud" breath control: comma, small pause. period full stop.
Take your example:
"...the critic quote on the front reads: Best. Vampire. Movie. Ever."
Read aloud "The best vampire movie, ever." has little audible punch. We can add punch, increasingly with'
"The best vampire movie, ever!"
"The best vampire movie. Ever!
"The best vampire movie!" Ever!
leading us to:
"Best. Vampire. Movie. Ever." (Each word spoken as a heavily stressed one-word sentence)
Those of us who have our own personal anal-retentive pixie who reads aloud in our inner-mind while we silently read from the page appreciate the technique.
Some of my favorite prose works (Baldwin's "Giovanni's Room", Conrad's "Heart of Darkness") sound like poetry when the pixie is speaking.

Lesson Two is is the use of language to invoke imagery which then conveys meaning (examples, T.S. Eliot, Walt Whitman, L. Ferlinghetti ).

And you have provided no information whatsoever about WHY this has become the popular thing to do in the last YEAR. It had to be done in a book or somewhere online or something, because ten million people didn't just suddenly get the idea to do it all on their own. That's what I'm trying to get to the bottom of. I understand the WHY of it but since no one ANYWHERE was doing it a year ago, why is it now being done ad nauseum.

If I remember correctly weren't you going to release a series of STAGE concerts hat hadn't been released?
Is Whoop-Up still being considered?

I do not like vampires or vampire movies.
It's funny, but I would have said the same thing a few years ago. But I find that the vampire books/tv shows/movies they do now are much different. It's not some big scary vampire. But rather they have vampires having regular lives/love lives ... I find I actually really like this kind of book/tv show/movie.
I've never seen most of the vampire movies listed. But I have watched Twilight and New Moon. I watch True Blood and The Vampire Diaries.

I'm sure the prosecutor, the judge and the marshals all knew about the court date. defense counsel is always the last to know. They will tell my client before they tell me.

Because people don't talk to each other anymore, things like random periods after words are used to exaggerate what the person is trying to say. The newest fad, whether spoken or typed, is to pause after each word for "effect", usually sounding way over the top. So, if you add a pause after each word which is followed by a period, and say it in an over the top sort of way, you get the effect the person is trying to convey. Did I mention people don't talk to each other anymore?

- Is it really a big party? Yes. Imagine doing something you really love to do (in this case it’s cycling) with 10,000 people who love the same thing. Remember, you’re on vacation and the only thing on your to-do list is to get to the next town. You get to eat, drink and be merry all day. And when you get to the overnight town, they throw a party for you and your friends.

Cilla, have you been following all this stuff about the 100 year Anniversary of the Titanic Sailing? Fortunately, not on the Titanic; although originally there was talk of building a replica for the anniversary. I keep getting e-mails telling me about all the lecturers and how few cabins are still available. If you haven't read about it, here is the website.

My initial thought is that it would be a bit unnerving to be on a memorial cruise for a ship that sank....but thanks for the website, it's interesting

I guess that would only bother me if there were fighter planes flying overhead. The Titanic sank on it's own - well sort of - I'm just saying

Has everyone seen the news story about the second stonehenge (being called woodhenge) being discovered only about 3,000 feet away from the first one?

I know what you meant. I was just giving you a bad time. A lot of my friends thought that I was crazy to sail on a ship out to the site of the wreckage back in 1996

Oh that wouldn't bother me. That's sailing out to site of the wreckage and I'm very jealous about that. Would have loved to be there. I guess it's the idea of sailing the same route from the same ports and on the same dates 100 years later that would bother me

Haven't heard of Woodhenge, but I've heard of Car Henge

My that's a little photo

Let's try this one

Has everyone seen the news story about the second stonehenge (being called woodhenge) being discovered only about 3,000 feet away from the first one?
Discovery
Woodhenge was identified in 1925 after an aerial archaeology survey by Alexander Keiller and OGS Crawford. Crawford credits the discovery to an aerial photograph taken by Squadron Leader Gilbert Stuart Martin Insall, VC, in 1925.[1] Maud Cunnington excavated the site between 1926 and 1929.
DR TCB - looks like it was discoverd in 1925, at least according to Wikipedia
-
So, no one knows anything about the thing with the periods?
I don't know when it started (or why or how it caught on), but the tag line for Harlequin Productions (http://www.harlequinproductions.org/), a local theater group, is "Real. Live. Theater." They've used that at least since they moved into their own theater in 1998 and it's at the bottom of every page on their website.

Hmmmmmmmmmm......well the car is repaired, so I am waiting for my brother to take to me to pick it up. Just needed a tune up and a new spark plug wire.....$122.....which is okay.
Good news!
-
The kittens have their surgeries tomorrow, and I am trying to make arrangements for them to go to adoptions on Saturday.
MEGA VIBES FOR THE LITTLE ONES!!!
-
Well, I guess actually woodhenge would be the original, since it is still buried undergroud.

I am irritated with the federal court. I have planned for weeks to take tomorrow off. So, tonight at almost 5:00 PM I get a notice via email of a hearing at 9:00 AM. Absolutely no time to get coverage, so I'll be going to court in the morning. I'm sure the prosecutor, the judge and the marshals all knew about the court date. defense counsel is always the last to know. They will tell my client before they tell me. It's a real pet peeve and I'm tired of it.
Only by email, what if you didn't get it? I find that scary.
Feel better vibes!! You sure are working hard while sick. Try eating lots of watermelon.
-
DR elmore I hope Jonathan's audition went well.
-
Audition vibes for Elmore's friend Jon ~~~~
-
We may just show a streaming video...
Or to perk up attendance....show a streaking video.
der Brucer
LOL, that would be different, DR der Brucer!
Right after I made that post, I made a phone call and secured a speaker for August 3!!! Why didn't I call Jenni sooner?
Now maybe I'll be able to sleep past 6am...
I am assuming that this makes more sense if you happen to know Jenni.
;D

The foster coordinator has six moms with babies awaiting homes. In. her. office.
:( Too many. At least these are safe.

I don't have a choice about working hard, I've got a bus full of people sleeping here on Saturday. Yes we're notified of everything via email in federal court. all filings are electronic, etc. Sometimes we get phone calls too, but most of the time no. The funny part was I got an email from the person who usually assigns us cases asking me if I got the email from the court setting the hearing. Now, think about it, if I'm not checking my email I wouldn't have gotten either one!
-
It's been a really busy week at the office too, but I've been stressing about finances, so it's exactly what I needed
-
DR Matthew, congrats on the car pay off!
-
DR elmore I hope Jonathan's audition went well.
It's tomorrow morning at 9:45. Send vibes!

The thing with the periods is prevalent on every single message board I occasionally visit. Everyone who is saying they've never seen them must be living away from the computer or message boards or places where writing occurs by amateurs.
I visit a few message boards. But mostly the writers seem fairly intelligent. And I've never seen the periods after every word. BK maybe it's just a few boards that you happen to visit. Because it's obviously not going on everywhere on the internet.
-
DR Jane and DR Vixmom - thanks for the congrats for the car payoff. It won't last long, as I'm looking into trading my current 2003 Honda Element, for a new 2010 Honda Element when they go on sale in the fall.
Anyway, I'm back from my bike ride and now I'm going to get cleaned up, get some grub, and head to Annie

I'm glad you have the work. :)

I'm sorry to hear about the lost day off tomorrow, Cillaliz. It's awful that they don't let you in on the scheduling.
Well, it's a short court hearing and I can do it and still have most of the day off, it's just the lack of respect that gets me
And what if you'd already left for the day by 5pm and missed the email? Seems crazy. What if you had another meeting scheduled? What if you were out of town?
-
The cold is getting better, it's just a summer cold. I slept more last night than I have all week. I'm relaxing tonight and tomorrow I'll get up, go to court, then come home and start cleaning. I probably would have been drinkng coffee then anyway....
Sometime tomorrow one of the handy men is coming to get rid of all the weeds along my back stone wall and prep the area below that will get a coat of cement next week. I can't even express how great it feels to get these jobs done or in progress.
-
Audition vibes for Jonathan, friend of DR ELMORE.
-
You. Will. Have. Nightmares. Forever!

MR BK - I guess it's a way of shouting without using capital letters - and might have begun with texting and moved to message boards.

First two acts of NEVER TOO LATE have been blocked.....on to the drunk scene on Monday.

Well, this is an initial, so the Judge would most likely go ahead without me. I hate that. It isn't illegal or anything, but I would hate to be the client and have the judge tell me he doesn't know where my lawyer is and that she was sent notice. It's very annoying. For the more important court settings, we are usually consulted - well not always, sometimes we just get the date and if there is a problem have to work to change it.
-
The way they send notice is one of the reasons I have my blackberry, and that's what most of the lawyers do. That way I can at least get notice and contact the court if necessary.
-
Looks like our first storm of the season will be tonight. We've all been waiting!
-
DRs, my frend Jonathan, who was wonderful as the Scarecrow in THE WIZARD OF OZ in Canton, has an audition for the New York Musical Theatre Festival tomorrow morning at 9:45. This is his first big audition. Can you send him some vibes?
~~~Successful Audition and Leg Breakage Vibes for Elmore's DF Jonathan!!~~~

Congrats!!! Hope it's more rain than storm

I'm thinking that ice cream would sooth my throat. Maybe I'll make a DQ run.
-
I keep dozing off. It's wacky.
-
My handy man just called to tell me he's sending his son over tomorrow to finish cleaning out weeds etc to make the yard look good and if I need him to do any other chores while he's here to just tell him what to do. I'll have to look around and see what needs to be done outside.

I have to pack for our trip out to Stony Brook tomorrow and can't catch up, but wanted to post this adorable clip of my beloved Van Dyke Parks, and our own Grant Geissman!

Is that little Edisaurus?
-
Great clip Edi, thanks
-
Woo Hoo, I got a call a little while ago from the FPD who was hired to replace me. He's going to fill in for me at the hearing in the morning so I can have the day off. Now I can get up early and dive in to cleaning....or go for a coffee then dive in and clean. This is so much better.
-
Grant is at Comic Con this week. When he's done with that, then we're going to get together.
-
I'm going to try to get some sleep tonight. Think I'll try NyQuil again. It worked last night. I slept through almost all the storm that left 3.25 inches of rain. Sweet
-
The cutest. kitteh. ever. is Sam.
-
The storm was a bust. At least here. Other parts of the valley got rain, I guess.
-
I'm sorry Laura...I wish you rain!

Well, I've written the bios and held each kitten. I will miss these guys. They were all spitting at me when we met, but they are all love bugs now.

Johnny Depp IS Carol Channing. No, really.
Of course he is. And she is.

Playing belated catchup for today. Vibes for DR Elmore's friend Jonathan. And amnesia vibes to all the people who feel periods are needed after each word.
-
And page seven dance vibes for all in need.

So, tonight at almost 5:00 PM I get a notice via email of a hearing at 9:00 AM.
Unless there is a published procedure that you check Email on a particular schedule, you should be able to skip it without penalty.
I used to have have a stated work-place policy: I have Email - it is not EPhone! I usually check Email twice daily at 9 AM and 3PM, plan accordingly!

From the IMDB messageboards re the remake of Let the Right One In:
That's why it's stupid that people try to be sarcastic online and then call everyone who doesn't understand a moron.
Sarcasm. Doesn't. Translate. To. Text.
