Well, you've read the temporary notes, the notes will be completed as soon as the power is restored, and now it is time for you to post until the power cows come home.
-
First after BK, a rare treat.
-
I thought perhaps you had locked the notes by mistake again. ;)
-
And the word of the day is: HEBDOMADAL!
-
Vixmom, re: your post about ordaining gays, etc. I had just been hired as Music Director by a large Episcopalian congregation here, with a wonderful liberal British Priest whom I adored, when the very next week Gene Robinson was ordained. The next Sunday DURING SERVICES about 75% of the congregation stood up en masse and walked out, never to be seen again. Unbelievable.
-
BK, I share your furnace woes, though we have power.
The furnace company is NOT going to like my phone call to them tomorrow.
-
Betsy is up at the veritable crack o' to leave for D.C., so I should hie myself to slumberland.
-
I thought perhaps you had locked the notes by mistake again. ;)
So did I. The only (temporary, of course) problem is that the main homepage http://www.haineshisway.com/ doesn't have a link to the http://www.haineshisway.com/smf/index.php page.
-
Full notes are up and I hope are interesting, so give 'em a look. Power is obviously back - it came on a little over three hours after it had gone down.
-
We're back!
-
Can't wait to listen to the radio show! :D
-
I watched the whole episode, but I was not impressed with the season premiere of "Mad Men," nor did I find it very interesting. :-\
I'll watch it for a while (I'm recording it for a friend), but if it doesn't get more interesting, I won't watch it for much longer.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
good morning to all
-
Listening to the Broadway Radio.
I think there maybe a problem on the Michelle Nicastro section the audio cuts out around the 3:24 and it continues to play to the end of the segment 7:32.
I thought it might have been my reception but I tried it several times and it happens at the same point.
Also don't know if the show went beyond this section it goes to the next part, but nothing plays.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Power vibes to all. And many more vibes and prayers for TCB.
-
;D
-
I loved the Bear Pit.
;D
-
Morning.
Off to work.
Have a good day everyone.
Think rain has stopped, for the drive anyway.
;D
-
Good morning, all! I slept well, with a curious dream that I was in a hospital working as an anestheniologist, God knows where that came from!
I have some apartment tidying and vacuuming this morning, and I think I may visit the NYPL today as well. I'd like to look at the photos for the 1925 production of DEAREST ENEMY and they're hard to decipher from the online NYPL site:
I also need to get the Act Two full scores of ROBERTA in order so that I can scan them for the copyists. That's my plan for the day. Who knows what fresh hell will change it?
-
I hope we get some rain!
-
We've been up since the pre-crack o' for Betsy's imminent departure for D.C. She's trying to get into the Holocaust Museum tomorrow for her one "touristy" thing.
-
TOD:
Notorious
The 39 Steps
The Lady Vanishes (hey, I like Hitchcock)
Three Days of the Condor
Hopscotch
Pickup on South Street and any of those Commie menace film noirs whose titles I can't remember
-

A touristy thing? Is this like my parents taking me to Flossenburg when I was a kid?
-
TOD:
Spy movies?
Not an easy one. None immediately come to mind.
Of the James Bond movies, GOLDFINGER is certainly my favorite.
If you consider NORTH BY NORTHWEST a spy movie, then that would certainly be #1.
Now that you've go me thinking in that direction, there's a lot of Hitchcock films:
THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
THE 39 STEPS
THE LADY VANISHES
FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT
-
THE HOUSE ON 92ND STREET is also a goodie.

For Jews, it's a "touristy" thing. Actually demand is so high for tickets you have to get there hours before opening for the "same day" attendance (they only allow 2000 people in per day).

This brings to mind an hilarious anecdote that Jack Lemmon told years ago. He and his wife were on a European tour with Walter Matthau and his wife. Evidently the Matthaus argued quite a bit and they were involved in a knock down drag out one day when the quartet was visiting a famous war site. Matthau turned to his wife and shouted, "Now see what you've done! You've ruined my visit to Auschwitz!" ;)
-
Furnace repair is scheduled and I will not be charged.

In other news, eBates daily double is the Apple Store, so I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought Zach an iPhone, which is evidently the best phone for him to have in China according to his teacher (there's evidently a Chinese-English app that everyone uses).
-
BK, we watched TINKER, TAILOR last night and enjoyed it very much, though I'd now like to see the mini-series with Guinness which I'm sure involves more detail. You went to the BEAR PIT when the best BBQ jernt in LA is practically around the corner from the Mission Hills pp show -- Dr. Hogly-Wogly's Tyler, Texas BBQ.
-
Monday.....I am listening to the Broadway Radio Show......
-
DR JMK: Have you any idea when or if "Bite the Bullet" will be reviewed at your site? I have read your review of "Demetrius and the Gladiators" and fully understand the concerns you raised, especially in terms of "expectations."
Still, it's the best version I've seen and the sound is glorious.

TOD:
North by Northwest
The Manchurian Candidate

Most entertaining interview!!!

I should have that up within a day or two, tops. :)

Re: Tinker, Tailor.
It's incredibly hard to follow and after listening to the commentary, there are all sorts of incredibly picayune touches I had missed. For instance in the credits sequence it shows Smiley having his eyes examined, which evidently was supposed to clue us into the fact that the present day sequences have one pair of glasses while the flashbacks have another pair.
-
In other news, furnace issue has supposedly been identified. Some of these furnaces came with a condensate pail that cracked due to the oil they used to manufacture them, and mine is one of them. That makes the condensate fall on the flame sensor, which turns off the heat.

Who designed it - Moe Howard?

There was an article online in a Seattle paper about a couple of twins who used to run the IGA store at 2123 California SW in West Seattle....they mentioned that one of their regular customers in the late 40's/early 50's was none other than Frances Farmer.
They must have stocked beer and cigarettes....

I'm up - didn't get to sleep until two and then woke up at seven, then fell back asleep thirty minutes later.

Did anyone else have this problem that Shayne had with the radio show?

JMK - Do you recall whether Lemmon said that Matthau said that knowing the lunacy of how it came out?
-
Interview played fine for me.
-
Good, then I'm sure it's whatever browser is being used.

Page two?

I have to go eat in a little while, then hopefully UPS will not play the game of delivering late in the afternoon - it IS a game - this guy actually switches up his routes every single day, just so he has a little variety. He used to always deliver to the mail place by twelve-thirty at the latest. Sometimes he still does, sometimes it's four.
-
Well, since we're so close...
-
GRATUITOUS POST #50!

My sense at the time was that Matthau was deadly serious and had no clue how ridiculous it sounded, part of what made it so funny.

I watched an interesting documentary on the production of the German version of TITANIC.

Here's something...I bought a pocket watch from Amazon and it just arrived a few minutes ago! HERE (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0061BI05E/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details) is a link to the listing and here's a not-so-large picture:
-
It's quite nice looking, but a little darker than what the pictures make it out to be like. Still, it was just under $40, with no shipping and no tax! :)
-
It's Monday, and again, it feels like it.
-
Glad you don't have to pay on your furnace, JMK.
-
Monday afternoon greetings! I've been up since 9am, but still in my robe and slippers because of a book - SARAH'S KEY. The local campus library where I used to work is having a discussion of it Wednesday, so I started it on Saturday thinking, if I could finish it by then, I'd go. Well, by this morning I was close enough to the end and engrossed enough that I just had to read until I was done. Now I have a whole day - tomorrow - to think about and read some background.
-
Elmore, did you ever see the TV version of "King Lear" with Orson Welles? I didn't know such a thing existed until I was looking through a DVD booklet last night. Sounds wonderful. Or it could be awful, depending on budget and how much they cut for TV, etc.

Did you gain new members as a result?

In my world three hours isn't too bad. ;)

I too was engrossed reading this book. I was pleased with the movie adaptation.

I'm thinking of suggesting it to my book group for our annual potluck dinner and movie night in August.

I mentioned the film some time ago, Ginny, which I had to review. I liked it a lot more than the somewhat similar THE DEBT.

It did come with a chain that's the same color as the watch. It looks fairly substantial.

I am curious for those who read a lot do you keep track of how many books you have read so far this year? I've read 32.Although that is way less than most people i know wo read alot. Also it does not include kids books (I read a lot to my nieces). Although if it is a kids chapter book that is 60-130pages then I do include it (Goodreads keeps track of all the books for me). It does include novellas and a couple of shorter stories. But does not include alot of ebooks tha i have on my kindle- like cooking books/joke books/kids ebooks...
-
think that nap I took yesterday screwed up my regular sleep. I did not go to bed till after 1am.
-
It is so cold here now. Yuck. I still cannot believe how the weather could have been so hot last week and now it is something like low 30s.

I don't keep track of the number of books that I read. At our library, we have a kids summer reading program and an adult winter reading program where participants need to keep track of what they read, but I personally don't do that.

I kid you not. There are slides somewhere of me with my cowlicks and wearing lederhosen, pointing to bullet holes in one of the walls.

Back from a sandwich and sweet potato fries. Called the mail place - no sign of UPS yet, which means the helper will probably have to pick it all up - very, very annoying.
-
Gloriously hot and sunny here in Prague. Recording sessions going well.
-
DR Doug R - have a wonderful time in Prague!
-
DR Jennifer - Wow, I find 32 books in 3 months pretty impressive! My goal for this year is 52, which is a book a week and I'm already a couple of weeks behind. I keep a list in the "Books" section of my "planner," which is now more of a memo notebook because I'm using the calendar on my iPhone. I've experimented with some web-based tools, but the list seems to work best for me. One website I do depend on is FictFact (http://www.fictfact.com), because it lets you keep track of your favorite series and what you've read.
-

I loved that city for the very short time I was there.
But whatever you do, don't go looking for the Infant of Prague.
-
I've never kept track of the number of books I've read. I'm guessing I average 2 books a week or more which would be about the same number of books as DR Jennifer or less.
Maybe I'll count for the next couple of weeks. Last night I finished one book and began another one which means I've read half a book so far. ;)

Great! :)
I love Prague.
-
No UPS yet - helper will definitely be picking everything up.
-
And still no UPS. I think I actually told our MD three-thirty not three, so if UPS arrives in the next fifteen minutes I'll still be able to go get it - it's infuriating.
-
DR John G, I have not seen the Orson Welles broadcast of KING LEAR. It's my favorite Shakespeare and and hour and 15 minutes is too short for me.
-
Last night I went to bed with plans to check out flights to NY today. This morning Craig said he will probably be moving in the Spring so I have decided to stay home. I love you DR New Yorker's and Ginny, however, I want to spend as much time with Craig as possible before he leaves for the East Coast again.
-
Craig loves working as a teacher's aid at the elementary school & has decided to be a special education teacher. Sometime this week he plans to decide which school/program he will attend. He has excellent options to chose from.
-
Evening all. Just got home a little while ago. Had to go to the sleep dr. It's time for my bi yearly "sleep over" so next Friday night I have to go to the center at nine in the evening. Yawn. I never can sleep good while I'm there. They want me to try to sleep without the mask but I'm so trained to wearing now that I can't sleep without it! At least I didn't at the last test. They had to give up and let me sleep with it.
I went to the UPS store and they were able to look up my shipment to Dear TCB. Their records show that the package was delivered TODAY! I'm hoping that he is charging the phone up as we speak but I did send it with a full charge.
Thelma had a fall and I'm hoping that she is ok. She wouldn't hear about going to the doctor but I guess her pain got the best of her because I got a text at work that she was going. The last I heard was that she had an appointment to have an X-ray done. Vibes for my very dear friend, Thelma, would be very much appreciated.

I don't keep track at all. I just read one book until I'm done and then pick up the next. I'm reading Twilight right now. I saw it at the Goodwill for a buck and thought, what the heck. I was just wondering if the smaller book is the same as the larger size. I mean is the smaller book like the movie script (seems to be) or was there more to the story in the large size. Does what i just typed make any sense?

I like the watch DR George. Much nicer then the old type that had the hunter and deer or some such. My Dad's was like that and I hated it because I don't like hunting. I never understood why he liked it either because he didn't hunt.

I am off to a

I've never done it before last year when i joined Goodreads. I love that site. IT lets you put in all the books you've read, and all the books you want to read. And then you enter the books as you read them. And you review them. It keeps track of everything.

DR Danise,
VIBES FOR YOUR DEAR FRIEND THELMA!!!
-
DR Danise, when you mention sleeping with a mask, is that a CPAP mask for Sleep Apnea?
While I was away from HHW for those few months I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and I have been using a CPAP machine nightly since mid December.
I now look like something from ALIEN when I retire to bed.
I must say that I feel sooooo much better now, however. Not 100%, but much, much better.

Oh i thought you kept track on goodreads. You don't enter the books as you read them? If it wasn't for that site i would never keep track. This is my second year keeping track and i find it so neat. It really helps me keep track of what i want to read too.

Is it the paperback? Is it the movie cover?
I am guessing it would have to be the same as the regular book 1 in the series (there are 4 books).

TOD: Spy films
I love Jean Dujardin's two OSS 117 films as well as some of Ken Clark's 1960s Italian spy films.
AANKEN is a very good 1960s Bollywood spy film as is JAAL SAAZ starring Dara Singh and Bambi.

While I was away from HHW for those few months I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and I have been using a CPAP machine nightly since mid December.
I now look like something from ALIEN when I retire to bed.
I must say that I feel sooooo much better now, however. Not 100%, but much, much better.
I had to laugh when I read your post DR MBarnum because I too have thought that if someone broke into the house and I sat up in bed I might scared them to death. You have to remember that I also have to use my bit (mouth guard) because I grind my teeth as well.
Man, I am just a medical mess am I not? Diabetes, high BP, Sleep apnea, arthritis, kidney stones, divertiulatius (spelling), teeth grinding,, gout in my hands and I could go on and on. I'm a doctors dream for all the money they make off of me.
Like you, it's not 100% but I could never go back to the way it was before.
Are you a 50/50? Mine is one the worst because the doctor said out of every hour, I breath 30 minutes and don't breath 30 minutes. Not at the same time--it's l like breath a minute stop breathing for minute but it adds up.

I'm finding a good number of eBooks that I've downloaded are religious, very Christian/G_d in your face religious. I expected the reviews to warn me & they didn't. I've read many books that deal with religion & enjoy them, it is when I feel the book is about converting me that I don't appreciate it.

I went to the UPS store and they were able to look up my shipment to Dear TCB. Their records show that the package was delivered TODAY! I'm hoping that he is charging the phone up as we speak but I did send it with a full charge.
Speaking of deliveries Danise, I sent you several copies of the ANDERSON episode on Friday. You should get them very soon! Enjoy!
Thank you so very much. I have so many people who didn't see the show that want to and I didn't want to give my last copy out. :)

I am curious for those who read a lot do you keep track of how many books you have read so far this year? I've read 32.Although that is way less than most people i know wo read alot. Also it does not include kids books (I read a lot to my nieces). Although if it is a kids chapter book that is 60-130pages then I do include it (Goodreads keeps track of all the books for me). It does include novellas and a couple of shorter stories. But does not include alot of ebooks tha i have on my kindle- like cooking books/joke books/kids ebooks...
I don't keep track at all. I just read one book until I'm done and then pick up the next. I'm reading Twilight right now. I saw it at the Goodwill for a buck and thought, what the heck. I was just wondering if the smaller book is the same as the larger size. I mean is the smaller book like the movie script (seems to be) or was there more to the story in the large size. Does what i just typed make any sense?
Is it the paperback? Is it the movie cover?
I am guessing it would have to be the same as the regular book 1 in the series (there are 4 books).

It has the movie cover but it's a smaller paperback. Not like the one with the apple in the hand.
-
I've never kept track of the number of books I've read. I'm guessing I average 2 books a week or more which would be about the same number of books as DR Jennifer or less.
Maybe I'll count for the next couple of weeks. Last night I finished one book and began another one which means I've read half a book so far. ;)
Oh i thought you kept track on goodreads. You don't enter the books as you read them? If it wasn't for that site i would never keep track. This is my second year keeping track and i find it so neat. It really helps me keep track of what i want to read too.
I probably should have but I don't. I use it mostly to read reviews others have written.
I also like to see reviews others have written for the books i read. But only after i finish the book.
I rarely read an entire review until after I finished the book. I just try to get a general feel & rating before selecting a book.

I just got back from taking my wife to the emergency room where she got 3 stitches in her finger.
That's what she gets for chasing me around the house with a carving knife.

I must say that I feel sooooo much better now, however. Not 100%, but much, much better.
I'm glad it is working. Keith insists, the doctor said for him to look for it, that I don't have sleep apnea. I have wondered because I often wake up gasping for air, but only just as I'm falling asleep. During the night I only do that as a result of a nightmare or from a fat cat sitting on my chest. Since we don't have cats anymore I only have memories of waking up gasping for air & seeing two eyes staring at me. While that sounds like a nightmare it was funny vs scary.

She hasn't been having a good time lately. How is her back?

DR Jane, I have no memories of gasping for air. Not everyone does. That is why a lot of people have no clue that they have Sleep Apnea.
My doctor had mentioned a few times over that last couple of years that I ought to get tested for Sleep Apnea, but I paid little attention until I took the trip to Los Angeles and really noticed how utterly exhausted I felt the whole time and how confused I seemed to be much of the time while I was down there (constantly getting lost, for instance.)
Also, anxiety and depression was rearing its ugly head more and more over that last few years despite my taking meds for both, and despite having not had a problem with either since the mid 90s.
My doctor had put me on a treatment over a year ago which we hoped would make me feel more energetic, and as it was not making any difference in how I felt, I finally decided to go in for a sleep test....really glad that I did. Sleep Apnea causes a lot of medical problems, including diabetes, heart attack, stroke, and dying in your sleep.
The depression has disappeared and the anxiety has lessened considerably. I don't take my 2 to 3 hour naps during the weekend any more and I actually feel like going out to the gym! My concentration is also much, much better. I image over the next few months I will see even more improvements.

DR Danise,
I don't recall how many times an hour they said that I stopped breathing, but now it is down to an average of 3 times an hour with the air mask on (my machine records the info while I sleep).
Most nights the mask doesn't bother me, but once in awhile I do find it annoying...mainly when I am trying to sleep on my side and the mask sort of goes askew and leaks air.
It is fortunate that I am OK with staying single, because I am pretty sure my nights of romance are over now that I look like this when I sleep:

If my memory is correct, former DR Jason has to wear a sleep apnea mask, also.

Ebooks are a different case for me. Since many of the ones available daily are not by well known authors (or authors i've read) i need to see people's opinions before i buy it.

Unless it's the movie companion or the illustrated movie guide it should be the regular first book.

Here's something...I bought a pocket watch from Amazon and it just arrived a few minutes ago! HERE (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0061BI05E/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details) is a link to the listing and here's a not-so-large picture:
I like the watch DR George. Much nicer then the old type that had the hunter and deer or some such. My Dad's was like that and I hated it because I don't like hunting. I never understood why he liked it either because he didn't hunt.
Thanks, Danise! My first pocket watch was silver-toned and had a stag (but no hunter) on the front in gold-tone. It was quite nice, but I didn't take very good care of it (I was still in high school or even middle school at the time). ::)
I don't know what happened to it, either. :-\

Are you saying you don't get lost anymore? If so I should get tested to see if I can be cured as well.

The doctor suggested Keith watch me because of other symptoms. I never mentioned the gasping.

Yes, and it too made a big difference for him. I wonder if he took it to Japan with him.

How does a person who reads half the night do a sleep clinic ;)

Speaking of reading, I just finished the book I began last night. It was only 170 pages and I sped read through the last half of the book. I skipped all the LONG conversations with G-d & the repetitious angst. This would have made a very good short story.

I hope Danise will drop in here tonight. I got the phone in the mail today. It was here when I cam home from the cardiologist's office.

Vixmom, re: your post about ordaining gays, etc. I had just been hired as Music Director by a large Episcopalian congregation here, with a wonderful liberal British Priest whom I adored, when the very next week Gene Robinson was ordained. The next Sunday DURING SERVICES about 75% of the congregation stood up en masse and walked out, never to be seen again. Unbelievable.
I am very sorry to hear this - unfortunately IMHO, there are far too many people who claim to be followers of Christ who fail to actually understand his teachings about loving your neighbor as yourself, and who are instead fixated on a couple of verses in Levitticus - I wonder if these same people who are so concerned about men "knowing" other men are also as stringent about following the dietary laws, the clothing laws, the laws affecting women, particularly during certain times of the month , etc etc etc
here endeth my sermon for the day

Evening all. Just got home a little while ago. Had to go to the sleep dr. It's time for my bi yearly "sleep over" so next Friday night I have to go to the center at nine in the evening. Yawn. I never can sleep good while I'm there. They want me to try to sleep without the mask but I'm so trained to wearing now that I can't sleep without it! At least I didn't at the last test. They had to give up and let me sleep with it.
I went to the UPS store and they were able to look up my shipment to Dear TCB. Their records show that the package was delivered TODAY! I'm hoping that he is charging the phone up as we speak but I did send it with a full charge.
Thelma had a fall and I'm hoping that she is ok. She wouldn't hear about going to the doctor but I guess her pain got the best of her because I got a text at work that she was going. The last I heard was that she had an appointment to have an X-ray done. Vibes for my very dear friend, Thelma, would be very much appreciated.

In other news, furnace issue has supposedly been identified. Some of these furnaces came with a condensate pail that cracked due to the oil they used to manufacture them, and mine is one of them. That makes the condensate fall on the flame sensor, which turns off the heat.
Who designed it - Moe Howard?

TOD: Spy films
I love Jean Dujardin's two OSS 117 films as well as some of Ken Clark's 1960s Italian spy films.
AANKEN is a very good 1960s Bollywood spy film as is JAAL SAAZ starring Dara Singh and Bambi.

DR Danise, when you mention sleeping with a mask, is that a CPAP mask for Sleep Apnea?
While I was away from HHW for those few months I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and I have been using a CPAP machine nightly since mid December.
I now look like something from ALIEN when I retire to bed.
I must say that I feel sooooo much better now, however. Not 100%, but much, much better.
I had to laugh when I read your post DR MBarnum because I too have thought that if someone broke into the house and I sat up in bed I might scared them to death. You have to remember that I also have to use my bit (mouth guard) because I grind my teeth as well.
Man, I am just a medical mess am I not? Diabetes, high BP, Sleep apnea, arthritis, kidney stones, divertiulatius (spelling), teeth grinding,, gout in my hands and I could go on and on. I'm a doctors dream for all the money they make off of me.
And yet, I am the one in the wheelchair.

Not a word.

I hope Danise will drop in here tonight. I got the phone in the mail today. It was here when I cam home from the cardiologist's office.
Oh, good! I'd held off mailing the stylus until the phone arrived. First thing tomorrow morning!
Thank you, Ginny.

He didn't say anything about whether or not you had had a heart attack?

can you still have your operation?

I'm so very glad the phone finely made it~ I had stopped at the UPS store where I sent it and they were able to tell me it was delivered today. I sent you a message on Facebook to make sure you knew it was at your front door!
Thank you so very much, Danise. I hope I can figure out how to use it, My friend Diane has one like this one, but she said that in addition to the $35.00 per month, you have to pay another $29.00 a month for internet. ???

G'night!

I so want to fly out there and raise a ruckus at your doctor's office

DR Danise, when you mention sleeping with a mask, is that a CPAP mask for Sleep Apnea?
While I was away from HHW for those few months I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and I have been using a CPAP machine nightly since mid December.
I now look like something from ALIEN when I retire to bed.
I must say that I feel sooooo much better now, however. Not 100%, but much, much better.
I feel like I should be saying, "One of us! One of us!"
It's the most wonderful machine in the world. Better than a blender or a mixer.

Vixmom, re: your post about ordaining gays, etc. I had just been hired as Music Director by a large Episcopalian congregation here, with a wonderful liberal British Priest whom I adored, when the very next week Gene Robinson was ordained. The next Sunday DURING SERVICES about 75% of the congregation stood up en masse and walked out, never to be seen again. Unbelievable.
I am very sorry to hear this - unfortunately IMHO, there are far too many people who claim to be followers of Christ who fail to actually understand his teachings about loving your neighbor as yourself, and who are instead fixated on a couple of verses in Levitticus - I wonder if these same people who are so concerned about men "knowing" other men are also as stringent about following the dietary laws, the clothing laws, the laws affecting women, particularly during certain times of the month , etc etc etc
here endeth my sermon for the day
Well, I certainly never wear poly-cotton blends.

DR Danise,
I don't recall how many times an hour they said that I stopped breathing, but now it is down to an average of 3 times an hour with the air mask on (my machine records the info while I sleep).
Most nights the mask doesn't bother me, but once in awhile I do find it annoying...mainly when I am trying to sleep on my side and the mask sort of goes askew and leaks air.
It is fortunate that I am OK with staying single, because I am pretty sure my nights of romance are over now that I look like this when I sleep:

Your nights of romance aren't over. Just sleep during the day. Works for vampires.
I have a bipap machine because I was registering something like 119 occurrences of apnea per hour. Severe, in other words.

Watched SMASH, ate popcorn, going to bed - 'night!

Finally rehearsal has ended. Our MD who is new to us, like most first timers, didn't quite get the vibe so she was not as well prepared as others who do this regularly for us. Also, this particular show isn't actually based on one of my albums, so there was quite a bit of arranging to be done - only two charts are from things I recorded, and I actually don't have either chart - I'll go to storage tomorrow to see about retrieving those.
-
I watched SMASH too. The story better get moving somewhere or they are going to lose me

TOD: Spy films
I love Jean Dujardin's two OSS 117 films as well as some of Ken Clark's 1960s Italian spy films.
AANKEN is a very good 1960s Bollywood spy film as is JAAL SAAZ starring Dara Singh and Bambi.
Bambi?
LOL!
This is the actress Bambi....she is adorable...but only made a few films. She is the one who comes out to sing a little nightclub ditty.

Books did eventually arrive at four-thirty. The helper gave the UPS a piece of her mind - he didn't care. The photo problem was fixed and they look great. I've sold so many more books on the site than ever before and may actually have to order another fifty immediately.

Here's something...I bought a pocket watch from Amazon and it just arrived a few minutes ago! HERE (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0061BI05E/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details) is a link to the listing and here's a not-so-large picture:
purty!
Thanks. I agree. :D

Obviously it was too late to do any shipping yesterday so all books will go out tomorrow morning.
