THERE ARE TOO MANY BORED CHILDREN IN THIS SHOW. Some of them are interested in being there, others stand around talking to each other and not listening and then asking where they are supposed to be - or going the wrong way.

And I don't have much confidence in the choreographer - but then I am not in any of the dance numbers anyway....so we shall see. I think it will be okay....

Post by: elmore3003 on April 22, 2011, 05:33:46 AM: Good morning, all! I am praying to God that that invoice payment arrives today because I have bills to pay by the end of the month. On every invoice I go through this unnecessary hell and, as soon as I think the issue is resolved for good, I'm back to living for a week or more on less than $20. It's hell. I think all that's left in the apartment is peanut butter and jelly.

And while I'm bitching about money, my brothers - who treated my approaching a raltor with scorn - have contacted a friend of theirs who is (surprise!) a realtor, and now the Ohio property is supposedly listed. I want to sell that damned land and get my butt out of Ohio real estate and the Macbeths' clutches. I hope this realtor is not as big a fool as I consider the Macbeths to be.

So, it's Good Friday, and I think I have to watch this weekend THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY, one of my favorite films. Thatbrings us to the YOD:
DVD: there's one Netflix item here, LO(NG GOOD FRIDAY, and I've got a couple of oprys.
CD: Unreleased Herbert songs and cello/piano music, Guy Haines, Liz Callaway, Bach's Easter Oratorio
VCR: unadulterated smut

That's true, DR Ginny. But I've yet to join my local library. I'm still a member of the Philadelphia Free Library, but it's not convienient for me to get there.

I have review copies of new BDs (sourced from PD elements) of two films produced by Druxy's former employer, Roger Corman, DEMENTIA 13 and THE TERROR. Just for variety's sake, I also have the NatGeo series WHEN ROME RULED, which I started last night.

I complete the sale of our timeshare today at around 11:30. No more maintenance fees as of noon! Yay!!

Did You Get A Good Price? I have A Time Share At The Manhattan Club In New York (right across the street from Carnegie Hall) and I am Having a Very Hard Time Getting Rid Of it. Do You have any tips that You Want To Share?

We have/had a Worldmark by Wyndham, Arnold, which is a multidestination timeshare. I did some research, found a bunch of places that charge a fee to list, found a lady who markets timeshares on eBay who offered me a fairly good price, but then I just decided to post it for sale on Craig’s List and I had probably 20 offers or so over the course of a few days. I didn’t get a fortune, but more than I really expected to.

1. the invoice got there, the check is made out, but he hasn't mailed it! WTF?
2. the Toyland project is currently dead, may never revive, so I'm making no income
3. my good "friend" who has a record company continues to hire every damned orchestrator in the business except for me, making me wonder how much of a "friend" he really is. I can say no more because the E&T Divarobbie likes to carry tales back to the "friend." Today's announcement about a new recording really burned my ass.
4. I don't like being idle.

Damn!

Some men are born to live at ease, doing what they please, richer than the bees are in honey
Never growing old, never feeling cold, pulling pots of gold from thin air
The best in every town, bst at shaking down, best at making mountains of money
They can't take it with them but what do they care?

I guess part of the answer is that my good "friend" really isn't a "good friend" at all. And the other part of the answer, since I learned it a long time ago from Rob Fisher, both with the Garrison Keillor show and his time at Encores!, is that I'm not a big enough star to matter to the starfuckers in the business.

Post by: bk on April 22, 2011, 12:45:18 PM: I got awakened by the ringing of the telephonic device at ten to eight this morning. It was the publisher, so I had to get up and do the pricing stuff so the book could go off to the printer today. We did it and then I went back to bed and awoke five minutes before Barbara Deutsch got here. We had our meeting - she's written a book and it's time to get it published - based on the stuff she does as a life coach. It's funny, irreverent, and really smart and helpful. I think she's going to end up with the publisher I use (she'd talked to another but they didn't feel that good to her) and I told her that I'd make sure the process went smoothly. Then I got her to make the best decision she's going to make - to let Grant Geissman design it. That way, if she takes the fast track program, she can actually have her book in June.

Hmmm...I somehow lost the book I had been reading on my daily commute--Erik Larson's THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY. No where to be found, either in house or car, so I must have dropped in on one of the trains. I'm in a bit of a quandary, because while I wasn't entirely enraptured by it, I do want to finish it. Amazon is charging $8 and change for the actual paperback and $9.99 for the Kindle version. I think I might try a used book store on the way home tonight to see if I can find a cheaper copy before I buy new one again. Grrrrrr...

It worked!!! That is because I finally said it wasn't. ;D

I wish my copy hadn't been borrowed or I would send it to you.

DR Elmore - I'd already thought about driving past the property. Also, the Saturday Journal has a realty section and I'll look there. Do you want to tell me the realtor's name or company?

I know no more than I've related. This is all done by Macbeth and Randy.

I'm never consulted; it's always a fait accompli.

I figured I had better keep reading prior to commenting you likely don't know who the realtor is.

That's true, DR Ginny. But I've yet to join my local library. I'm still a member of the Philadelphia Free Library, but it's not convienient for me to get there.

EVERY name was on the listing agreement and EVERY signature was required to do anything. Did you give one of your brothers power of attorney? If not, you should be included in ALL decisions. You need to be very careful about the choice of settlement attorney/escrow agent (whoever does this function in Ohio). Your rightful share MUST be represented.

Various local vendors were giving out samples: milk, yogurt, cheese, ketchup, bread, salumi, etc. Well...

I noticed a table that was covered with freshly shucked oysters. It turned out that Wellfleet Oysters (from Wellfleet, MA) was giving out free samples of oysters. So, I had one. And then I had another. And then the "shucker" said to try one with their mignonette sauce... And then one with their spicy cocktail sauce... And then I noticed that the waiters were filling up plates with oysters for customers at the "standing tables". Well...

I only ended up having about six of them - others had more - but, boy, were those some amazingly good oysters. And free to boot!

I guess it's apropos--I have bits and pieces of JESUS CHRIST, SUPERSTAR going through me head. I'm trying to shift to GODSPELL (which I prefer) but it's not working.

Some men are born to live at ease, doing what they please, richer than the bees are in honey
Never growing old, never feeling cold, pulling pots of gold from thin air
The best in every town, bst at shaking down, best at making mountains of money
They can't take it with them but what do they care?

Does that help?

There have been a few times when someone has sung the first part of that song at an audition...

When you feel sad
Or under a curse.
Your life is bad,
Your prospects are worse...

...And I will go ahead and do the taps/softshoe/woodblock at/on the piano with my knuckles. :)

Post by: JoseSPiano on April 22, 2011, 08:18:04 PM: Thank You for all the Birthday Wishes for my niece and goddaughter, Emily. I did get to speak to her earlier today - and she actually spoke to me! Of course, she passed off the phone to her sister, Alyssa, before I got a chance to wish her a Happy Birthday. -And then when I asked if she would get back on the phone again... "Noooooo..."

At least she's consistent. ;)

Well, let's see...

Emily is now 5.
John Michael is 12.
And Alyssa is now 10.

I think. ::)

And. yes, she used to cry when she would see me. In fact, so did John Michael. As did Emily. Hmmm...

Post by: Ginny on April 22, 2011, 08:35:03 PM: We took a drive this afternoon to Ada, OH, to look around Ohio Northern University. It's about 15 miles east of Lima and the alma mater of our niece Jen. Apparently classes were not in session in observance of Good Friday, but a grounds crew was working at the pond. They were replacing the NO ICE SKATING sign with one that says NO SWIMMING. Spring must be just around the corner...

Post by: Cillaliz on April 22, 2011, 09:14:05 PM: I took today off. Had a too greasy breakfast at Black Bear Diner, went to The Lincoln Lawyer (liked the book much better than the movie, but may have liked the movie if i didn't know what was going to happen). Went to an open house at a local nursery and just sat.

I've seen differing accounts, but they spent between $12-13 milllion on it and it's really cool. Lots of interactives and high tech. I was there for volunteer training and for the donors reception, but tomorrow will be the first day for most people to see it. There's a program with Tom Vilsack and Ted and Joan Waitt speaking. (Gateway Computers were invented in Sioux City) I'm not big on that sort of program, but will probably go just to see the crowd and get a taste of the excitement about the place.

I love Black Bear, Cillaliz. I don't go often, though.

I like it too, too much food, though. My eggs and the sausage were really greasy this morning. They needed to drain the sausage grease or put it on paper towels or something before they served it. They are opening another one here in town. It will be just down the street from me, so I'm sure I'll be going there more often. It is more expensive than other places, but they give you SO MUCH FOOD!

Post by: George on April 23, 2011, 12:19:46 AM: Well, today was a day! This week is the cut-off for paying the bills for the books at the library and all I did was enter invoice information into our computer system so that it'll get paid by the board meeting next Wednesday. I literally finished what I needed to finish just when I needed to leave to go to the theater for tonight's show!
Title: Re: BUSY LITTLE BK
Post by: George on April 23, 2011, 12:23:53 AM: As for tonight's show...we had probably our best audience! They were loud and they loved all the jokes. A couple of people who were in it the last time that TAO did it were there tonight. They guy who played the role that I'm playing now was there. Everyone loved it! HOWEVER, it was our smallest audience. :-\ Only 14 people! What's that all about?? But I'm sure that we'll do well tomorrow. We have two shows, and one is at midnight! It's definitely going to be a long day tomorrow.

Post by: George on April 23, 2011, 12:25:17 AM: ...AND I will have to go to work and finish the last report for the invoicing. It's one of those situations where something has to run overnight. I couldn't finish it today, even if I wanted. :P

Hmmm...I somehow lost the book I had been reading on my daily commute--Erik Larson's THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY. No where to be found, either in house or car, so I must have dropped in on one of the trains. I'm in a bit of a quandary, because while I wasn't entirely enraptured by it, I do want to finish it. Amazon is charging $8 and change for the actual paperback and $9.99 for the Kindle version. I think I might try a used book store on the way home tonight to see if I can find a cheaper copy before I buy new one again. Grrrrrr...

I loved this book! A creepy serial killer and the inspiration for the Emerald City, who could ask for anything more?

Just don't read it while you're eating :P

DR Dan (the Man), you could check out a library copy...

I just returned to the Lincoln Center NYPL a score for PRINCE IGOR that I had declared lost over 10 years ago! I had even paid them for it.

If you paid for it, why did you return it? It's yours!
