And the word of the day is: KATZENJAMMER!
Many years ago, I was in SLC over the holidays visiting my parents and I wandered into a little used record store near downtown. They had a FABOO collection of old OBCs there that I had never been able to find--stuff like "First Impressions," "Christine," etc., all sealed, mint, stereo. I went a little nuts and bought a pile o'LP's for myself that day. :)That's like finding the Holy Grail.
Belated vibes to the needy, and alms to the poor.And where do I collect those alms?

DR DakotaCelt - Congrats on your "A", and may the new year and new semester bring a new spirit to your work situation.
... And it's the Monday before Christmas... Aaaaggghhhh!!!!!
;)
I like how the title of today's Notes are "abbreviated" in my Safari "tab": I'LL BE HOME CHRIST...Hopefully not too soon.
I once found a trove like that, but used and hideously overpriced. They had "Flahooley," the revival of "House of Flowers" (now on Kritzerland), and a few others. But I was poor and in college ... hey, that sounds like my upcoming year, if I ever hear about getting accepted into grad school.I'm actually trying to remember everything I found there--I remember I was gobsmacked at the time. This was WAAAY before the internets, and I had been searching for rarer OBCs for years in Goldmine, etc., to no avail. I know I picked up at least 5 or 6 really rare things that day, and none of them were hideously priced.Many years ago, I was in SLC over the holidays visiting my parents and I wandered into a little used record store near downtown.

I am not amused.Can't wait to see how much mine goes up in January.
Unless it's an emergency, my doctor is on vacation this week and has no free time next week. Nor is there any free time for any physician covering her vacation week. And my insurance is going up $100/month in January.

Happy Holidays To You

I don't know where the time goes!
Went to check out the old house today. The movers completely ran over the post holding the mailbox (as well as the neighbor's). Huge mess, with gigantic tire tracks having destroyed probably 4 feet of the lawn. Oy. In the good news department, the inside of the house looks pretty darned good, even before the professional cleaning. We're showing it to some San Diegans today--fingers crossed once again we can rent it ASAP.
Woo hoo! Today is the day the checks rolled in!
I just got the good news: I got accepted into grad school. Yeah!
I'm going to SUNY-Empire State, which is an online program to get a master's in liberal studies with a dual focus on education and communications. I hope to teach with the degree.I just got the good news: I got accepted into grad school. Yeah!
What school? What program?
Are you getting an assistantship?
Resume vibes for DR FJL.
DR MBARNUM just sent me the 1964 Japanese Recording of Annie Get Your Gun, which I am sure will be a NEW favorite of mine.
And the word of the day is: KATZENJAMMER!

Jane, if DS Craig isn't busy tonight, tell him to come to the Washington Center for the Performing Arts and attend (or even participate in) the Sing-Along Messiah (http://www.washingtoncenter.org/upcoming-events/2010/12/20/sing-a-long-messiah.html). It's free! I'm working concessions (which are not free, though) so I will be there. :)
Join us in a community sing-a-long! Come to sing, come to listen as we delight in Handel's Messiah, a local tradition! Brought to you by Student Orchestras of Greater Olympia and The Washington Center for the Performing Arts.
If he's not busy tonight.
:D
Woo hoo! Today is the day the checks rolled in!
Just got a hearty, much needed laugh. I get reports about what search queries are used to find my FF article, and someone got there by asking, "WTF was wrong with Frances Farmer". ;)
I am not amused.

I am going to be sore.
I decided to go to the pool and do 1 hour aqua fitness and 30minutes of laps.
I just got the good news: I got accepted into grad school. Yeah!

I have to make a trip to the LoC in the first weeks of January. It should be interesting as long as I don't run into the lady who made LIFE BEGINS AT 8:40 such hell.
Of course, my thought was that he was about the right age for my daughter -- and he has a job.
We gave Sherlock a bath to late in the day. I'll be doing laundry all night.

HUGH MARTIN - THE BOY NEXT DOOR an autobiography by....Hugh Martin....is a most enjoyable book.
He talks personally but not TOO personally about himself.....which is a disappointment of a kind, but he also tells lots of stories about his time on Broadway and in Hollywood, at some of the most exciting times to be in both of those places. He talks about his dealings with those who brought him along and those who stood in his way.....
It's a nice book - and makes me want to read the book DR ELMORE was talking about, the biography of Kay Thompson.

I had no idea this was finally published! I hear the curse is that he found God before he wrote it. I got to know Hugh slightly when I worked on BOYS FROM SYRACUSE in 1998. He's a lovely man. Had lots of bawdy stories about June Allyson and others.
THE CLOSER is off to a very merry holiday start! Brenda has some very funny moments.

Martin adamantly denies a ghostwriter in the preface - and there is no indication of one on the copyright page or anyplace else.
Yes, he got religion, and there are NO romantic stories included in the book - about June Allyson or anyone else.
Just got home, took the 101 freeway after a trip to the Fashion Square mall for my favorite vanilla and almond flavoring. Only place I know to go is Williams Sonoma.

Sad news about Steve Landesberg. I was a big "Barney Miller" fan. Always enjoyed his dry sense of humor.
Seems strange that Abe Vigoda would outlive him.
Just heard the sad news that Steve Landesberg has died. Cancer. I knew him quite well in the 1970s as he was dating Diana Canova for many years.
Safe and easy travel vibes for my DS Craig as he makes his way to Olympia!
~~~Ditto!!~~~
Thank you. How is the weather there?
Craig has arrived safely. :)
MEGA VIBES HE HAS A FANTASTIC INTERVIEW TOMORROW!!!
