Well, you've read the notes, the notes were sweet and had some small modicum of inspiration, and now it is time for you to post until the sweet and inspired and decidedly peculiar cows come home.

Good morning, all! Day Two in the studio, and I think it should go smoothly. We have two sings, Mr Ron Raines in the morning session and in the afternoon one Mr Aaron Lazar of A TALE OF TWO CITIES and the revival of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC. I think the day will go relatively smoothly.

When I got home last night, I posted on HHW, caught up on the posts, ordered some Chinese food, watched three episodes od IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, talked on the phone to Bruce Pomahac for around 30 minutes, and turned off the lights at 10. Even with the ear plugs, the Oaf was quite noisy around 12:30 when he woke me up, and less noisy when I checked the clock at 3:58am to learn at what tme of the night he was wondering about the apartment. He doesn't settle for a minute; there are lots of footsteps pacing around and I wonder if he's stoned or there are several people. He not only pisses me off but he gives me the creeps.

It's 7:15 am, and I have to make the bed, have some breakfast, and prepare my lunch for the studio. The subways were running quite slowly, so I may leave here earlier than I usually do.

Dessert from last night. It was called Romance, and a fine Romance it was. Chocolate ganache torte with a coconut-tapioca cream and a vanilla creme anglaise on top.

Last night I watched GUN CRAZY on TCM.  I had read much about this film for many years, but had never seen it.  It is most interesting and entertaining......John Dall & Peggy Cummins as a kind of late 40's Bonnie & Clyde.

DR JMK - Peggy is a knockout and reminds me so much of Frances in many of her scenes.....here are some excerpts......

I need to get dressed and get moving. I'm going to meet my sister at the mall.

First I am going to attempt to do some hooping. I had to stop for a month when my back was getting better. For some reaon even after my back mostly stopped hurting the hooping was putting pressure on my lower back and did not feel good.

So now I need to start getting back into it.

Last night, I watched a motion picture on dvd entitled A COUNTESS FROM HONG KONG.  In spite of its credentials, I was sorely disappointed.  Charles Chaplin directing, Marlon Brando, Sophia Loren, Tippi Hedren, Sydney and Geraldine Chaplin and Margaret Rutherford starring all led up to a big pot of nothing memorable.  Well, the love theme was memorable, outside of the movie when sung by Miss Petula Clark.  On the other hand, Miss Loren looked lovely in almost every frame she was in. . .

My sister's birthday party was very nice - her kids hired their favorite caterers, whom we've been blessed with on other family occasions. Rik had a rollicking good time, and slammed back tequila shots a-plenty, washed down with very good wine. I was her designated driver, and thus got back VERY late, as she stayed to the last guest's departure.

Today I have my art therapy session at the same ol' rehab where I've been working for going on three years. Fortunately, it has been moved from 10 am to 11 am.

I did not sleep well at all last night. I awoke at 11:00pm to the sounds of sirens, looked out the bedroom window to find an ambulance and a fire truck pull up in front of the building. Then I heard someone shout something like "around back" and both vehicles left.

The building's fire alarms weren't going off, so I just went back to sleep, but had a headache the rest of the night. Don't know if that was from the massive dose of Vitamin D that I took Saturday (I take one pill a week), the Bollywood King Kong movie, or the chocolate zucchini bread that I bought at the Saturday market.

Perhaps the combo of all three was just too much for me.

The reviews are exactly what I expected and have already generated more orders for Sugar.  He asks why bother with CD 1 when the remix (not remastering - I'm so clear about it in the booklet so not sure how he gets it so wrong) is so much better - if I didn't do CD 1 then the original LP mix would have never been available on CD - and even if I kept it to myself that the previous CD HAD been a remix (albeit a bad one) then you'd have had purists screaming that only the remix was available.  So, there was no way to win, so I always err on the side of doing what I think will sell the most CDs even though it's more costly to do so.

It's a beautiful day in Manhattan. We just returned from Bed, Bath and Beyond after buying some health and beauty products and then a browse at Academy Records and CDs.

It's supposed to return to rain and bad weather for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I hope it gets better by next Sunday. A friend from Nottingham is coming in and we are meeting her for a tour of our neighborhood and brunch, probably at East of Eighth. If it's raining and cold we may just end up visiting at the apartment and then having brunch.

Beginning the 19th of this month we will have to pay to read our two local papers.  They aren't very good to begin with & I only look at them for the local news & obits.  Long ago we stopped the paper since they could never figure out hold dates, plus all the recycling.  Soon I will will be out of the loop regarding the local news.

At least we will have free access to emergency info.

Will your TV stations provide updates? The newspaper here, which I hate to admit I used to work for, is so now embarrassingly devoid of local copy that I find more information on the sites for the various TV stations.

Today I finished setting all the little tiles for my mosaic class.  It's only a two session class, I guess more of an introduction, anyway, the tiles have to sit and dry for 48 hours before you can grout, so I finished it today so I can get the benefit of the teacher in grouting next Saturday.  She said if you don't finish you have to just grout on your own.   I'm making a trivet. It's actually fun.  I may just make trivets for Christmas gifts.  Or possibly garden stones.  I still have lots of adhesive and grout from my backsplash project, so I figured I may as well do something with it.  I really enjoyed designing the trivet.

Saw  YOU AGAIN, It reminder me of My Best Friends Wedding but on a wider scope. It also made me feel real old. I didn't know any of the younger actors except for one. I heard of her, but don't think I ever saw her in anything.

There were a couple of surprise cameos at the end of the film.

But I did enjoy it and there are some really funny performances especially Jamie Lee Curtis.

Last night, I watched a motion picture on dvd entitled A COUNTESS FROM HONG KONG.  In spite of its credentials, I was sorely disappointed.  Charles Chaplin directing, Marlon Brando, Sophia Loren, Tippi Hedren, Sydney and Geraldine Chaplin and Margaret Rutherford starring all led up to a big pot of nothing memorable.  Well, the love theme was memorable, outside of the movie when sung by Miss Petula Clark.  On the other hand, Miss Loren looked lovely in almost every frame she was in. . .

It was also Charles Chaplin last film appearance.

It is supposed to take place partially in the US, but since Chaplin was blacklisted it was filmed in England. There is a scene with Loren on the beach and its so obvious that she is standing in front of a process screen.

I keep thinking I'll stop taking my local paper because there are so many days I read it online but not in paper, but there are a lot of things in the paper version that aren't online.  So, I keep taking it

Same here, something that will need correcting if they expect people to pay for the online paper.  I found reading the comments about this very entertaining.  The majority complained about the numerous spelling and editing errors & the lack of substance in general. ;D

I get a Sunday paper that I canceled years ago.  I don't know why they deliver it every sunday, but they don't bill me and I don't really think it's my obligation to call them and tell them to stop
They want money from the advertisers. We had to remove our paper box to stop all the junk they were delivering.

Does anyone have to pay to access their local paper online? 

Beginning the 19th of this month we will have to pay to read our two local papers.  They aren't very good to begin with & I only look at them for the local news & obits.  Long ago we stopped the paper since they could never figure out hold dates, plus all the recycling.  Soon I will will be out of the loop regarding the local news.

At least we will have free access to emergency info.
Will your TV stations provide updates? The newspaper here, which I hate to admit I used to work for, is so now embarrassingly devoid of local copy that I find more information on the sites for the various TV stations. 

We don't watch local news because the viewing is so terrible & the reason we have satellite tv.  Often we know more about what is going on in California than in Oregon ;)  Obviously we will have to find a new way to get our local news.

Another good day at the studio. Ron got his three songs recorded in about two hours so we ended with time to record a piano solo before lunch. After lunch we took a stroll through the wonderful museum of the Hispanic Society next to the Academy and saw the Goya painting and other fantastic Spanish and Mexican works of art. Then the handsome and talented Aaron Lazar showed up and recorded four numbers. His beautiful performance of the heartbreaking "Heart O'Mine," written for the play "The Merry Wives of Gotham," had everyone in the studio in tears by the end. All in all, a very great day, and I hope tomorrow goes as well.

I went online to make my flight reservations to Chicago.  After setting it all up it said to pick my seats, which I did.  There was also a box to check for special economy seats which I did not click on.  To my surprise there was an addition $83 included in the fees and no way to remove the seats before finalizing the booking.  I then called India to book on the phone.  They kindly waived the $25 booking fee which I would not have paid online.

Be very careful when booking online, you don't want to have to call India.
