Well, you've read the notes, the notes had candy and pie and cake, oh my, and now it is time for you to post until the oh my cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: SOPOROSE!
-
TCB?
-
Really?
-
So, I decided I needed something and went to Ralph's, which is open twenty-four hours. I got two little mini-things and went to the one checkout counter and was there greeted by a moron couple who were checking out with their five HUNDRED dollars of groceries - three full carts - so a long line of people got to stand there for fifteen minutes.

First post after BK!

:o Yikes! Who goes shopping that late and spends that much??
-
And didn't Ralph's have another checker available (even that late) to open another line?
-
Well, it's time for sleep, so sleep I must.
Have a good day, all!
-
Sweets were just what the doctor ordered. I have some left over for tomorrow should I have a craving, but I'll probably give some to Grant, too.
-
Good very early day. The new dog woke me up to go outside. She's learning.
-
Good morning, all!
-
Annabelle survived the night, with no bleeding or vomiting, and she seems to be getting back to her old self. Neither she nor Thatch was crazy about this morning's salmon paté, so we'll chalk that down as a dud.
-
Thatch misses his dry Meow Mix, but I can only set it out if I lock Annabelle in the bathroom. She's on a strict soft food diet for two weeks. This morning she tossed all the packs of her dry kitty treats to the floor.
Otherwise, we're back to kitty status quo here.
-
I've got some tidying up, then Annabelle and I will patrol the building. After that, I'll work on How To Succeed . . . most of the day.

I am curious if I would like The Great Alone. If you want to finish the other book turn your wifi off until you finish. Might not be practical for you. But I keep the wifi on my kindle off all the time unless I am downloading an e-book.

THE SEVEN-UPS:
The producer-director, Phil D'Antoni, was my publicity client when he was producing BULLITT.
I agree that his first directing gig was not up to that film, nor THE FRENCH CONNECTION, but with THE SEVEN-UPS, he certainly out-did the car chase on both of those earlier movies.
Roy Scheider, of course, was in my movie, THE DOORWAY, shot in Ireland.
-
The other day, I mentioned that I was reading Maureen O'Hara's autobiography, 'TIS HERSELF, and somebody here (I forget who), asked if I'd come to the section where Maureen walked in on John Ford kissing John Wayne.
I read that chapter last night, but the actor Ford was kissing was not named. In fact, based on what was going on at that time and my knowledge of Hollywood gossip, my educated hunch is that it was somebody else...who I will not name either.
If you like Hollywood autobiographies, I can't recommend this one too highly. It's a great read.
-
We watched MOLLY'S GAME last night.
Enjoyed it.
-
Good very early day. The new dog woke me up to go outside. She's learning.
Progress 😊
-
And didn't Ralph's have another checker available (even that late) to open another line?
Yes, someone should have helped other customers. Do they have a self checkout area there?
-
I am not a fan of using the self checkout but might have in this instance.
-

Good news the evening went well.

Thanks. Well, if I had my wifi turned off right now I could not be posting ;)
So far I am enjoying the book. I haven't read enough yet to have an opinion if you would like it. THE NIGHTINGALE might be the best of her novels.
-
Yes, the car chase is quite spectacular and lives up to the excellence of the other two.
So here's a project: watch all three of them, just the car chase segments, and note the similarities/differences.
-
Got my regular (monthly, more or less) dinner meeting with my main director friend this evening. We had to postpone this twice in the past few weeks, but tonight is on and there's plenty to discuss.
-
Glad to hear Annabelle is doing well.
-
Good Annabelle news.
-
Rehearsal last night was about as to be expected - there was a lady there teaching the orphans a bit of singing technique. She has good technique, but she sure can't sing - she reminded me of Florence Foster Jenkins.....
I will return to rehearsal tonight to sort of see what's going on.....but off on Thursday...and then a read thru on Sunday with the director.
I will say NINETEEN orphans is way too many ORPHANS.....we have more orphans than some orphanages....of the nineteen - 16 of them are okay but the other three make up for it.

DR DRUXY I think that Miss O'Hara revealed to some that the actor in question was Tyrone Power.....
-
I told the reunion committee lady who lives down the street that I would print SMALL senior photos that could be placed on the Name Tags for the reunion which is 10 days from now.
She sent me a list. The problem is, 10 of these people did NOT stay in school to graduate with us. I have the 9, 11, 12 grade yearbooks....and I will have to use some of these photos. I found everyone but ONE. And there was a name on the list I had never heard of.
The Lady said she would scan a photo of that girl and give it to me.
But I have 42 of them ready.
-
Too much ME on this page....but I will only say that i planted my Milkweed today.....

Wednesday morning greetings! Rebecca and I are meeting for lunch today at a place where we've been for breakfast several times. Their lunch menu isn't as appealing to me, but we'll see.

Someone very hungry, for some reason?
Remembering the Rodney Dangerfield film, where a few people had gotten uncontrollably hungry and had to eat something quick, were searching for a late-night diner, saw one and when they got close the sign said "Open 23 hours a day" and this was of course, being a Rodney Dangerfield film, the one hour a day that diner was closed. That's comedy!

I'm preparing my new musical AUNTIE,
Auntie, Auntie , Auntie
Sorry for lying now
Auntie, Auntie, Auntie
I'll use your dying now
Since you've taken sick
I've used you
As a scamming trick
(again, can't imagine this aunt wasn't a lovely person. a shame she was used by her niece in such a way)

Yes, the car chase is quite spectacular and lives up to the excellence of the other two.

Of course, THE FRENCH CONNECTION isn't really a car chase. It's a car/el-train chase.

That's who I thought it was.

This was fun - Link to the San Antonio Film Commission Facebook page for their "Made in San Antonio" event about the "Viva Max!" film. The screening John G was at, with our great gratitude.
The talk last Saturday night was built around the "Making Viva Max!" documentary about the film, headed to public TV I think this year, but the San Antonio Film Commissioner gave a shout-out to the musical and handed everyone who came a CD of songs from the musical. (John G- The Film Commissioner seemed to say she actually handed them out herself. I guess it was a way for her to reach out personally directly to the audience.)
They posted information on the event page about the promo CDs of the musical, and that it just had a TRU presentation a few months back - some of the Jan. 15 TRU presentation credits and some Jim Lehrer info, too.
https://www.facebook.com/events/563225624061124/
And the director of the "Making Viva Max!" documentary scheduled for Texas public TV, emailed Skip about re the musical at the address that came with the musical's CD. (Potential for synergy can't hurt, whenever it is)

I guess have to be a Facebook member for that facebook link to work.

My memory playing tricks again. Still, I think it’s one autobiography I’d enjoy.

That's wonderful. Such a great way to mingle. (I wonder of she could have done that if the weather hadn't so limited the audience.)
So did Jim Mendiola actually give a speech, as opposed to being interviewed.

Nice link DR FJL.
So if DR DRUXY and I agree it must be fact.

People who need to buy a lot of groceries and go shopping when there are no crowds.
-
Very funny DR FJL - and the hits just keep on coming.
-
It has been my bitter experience that if someone in front of me at the grocery store around midnight and a bit after - they are spending the money that the the government just put on their EBT or Social Security Card......
But maybe not at Ralphs.

He was interviewed. I don’t remember by whom. The man might have been with the film commission

In weather news it is supposed to get really warm here on Friday (50s). But they are predicting 30cm of snow on Saturday and Sunday. I have my fingers crossed that the temps will stay warm. I cannot deal with 30 cms of snow. It is Spring. Plus I have somewhere to be at 8am on Sunday morning.

I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep.

BTW, There was just an article in the local paper that Evan Pappas has just been hired as the director for a new Equiity theatre opening in Babylon Village out here on Long Island.

Also, he played the lead in two recordings with scores by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty: the original Broadway production of My Favorite Year (http://castalbums.org/recordings/My-Favorite-Year-1992-Original-Broadway-Cast/2880) and the studio cast recording of Lucky $tiff (http://castalbums.org/recordings/Lucky-Stiff-1993-Original-Cast-Members/3697).

Kind of a weird little nothing of a day.

Walking more Monterey Pop. Hidden videos within the deleted obscurities. Wonderful Set. The Mamas and the Papas were truly wonderful. I had forgotten how much I loved Cass Elliot. Just a beautiful voice.
-
Finished one motion picture, beginning another.

I may go for three, depending on how I feel.

I personally would not do that. Also if you download a lot of e-books it is so much easier to just do so by turning on the wifi. But otherwise I keep my wifi off so I don't have to plug in my kindle all the time.

I think having a separate e-reader is my preference. It is so much easier to read on a kindle vs a tablet. Much easier on your eyes. Much easier when reading outside.

I think having a separate e-reader is my preference. It is so much easier to read on a kindle vs a tablet. Much easier on your eyes. Much easier when reading outside.
I'm finding this out more and more. Will take it on vacation for the first time. Easier than packing all those books, though I will also take two books.

Good night, all.

Watching Apollo 13 for the 300th time.... It never grows old
-
Even though I lived through the actual events, and I have seen this movie more times than I can count I still am drawn into the story every time...well crafted , well acted, just about a perfect movie

I am curious if I would like The Great Alone. If you want to finish the other book turn your wifi off until you finish. Might not be practical for you. But I keep the wifi on my kindle off all the time unless I am downloading an e-book.

I used to carry books just in case I couldn't use my tablet but I have only needed the books once. Even then I was able to find books to read. We really don't have spare room in our bags.

When I got my first tablet my intention had been to get a reader. With each new tablet I also looked at readers and continue to prefer the tablets.
-
Speaking of reading, I got very little done today. The last 2 days I have been dealing with something frustrating and time consumer. I am pleased to say it seems to be solved.
-
Um, get me off this damn page.
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
With my viewing I'm finished.
-
Good evening.
-
Page 4? Really?
-
I am not feeling well.
-
Quiet night on the site.
-
Does anyone here watch DESIGNATED SURVIVOR?
-
But has TCB received his book yet? Because I ain't heard a peep or a peepette
-
The previews always look interesting.
-
Page 5
-
Yes, I did. Thank you for personalizing it for me.
-
I suppose I could find the previous season of SURVIVOR on Hulu or Netflix.
-
I am just not sure I want to take on another hour-long series.
-
I am not very good at binge-watching shows.
-
Nicky spent ost of the day and the evening sleeping on my bed and / or his bed.
-
I am glad that many of you liked Nick’s photo the other day.
-
It is my favorite (and his) photo of him.
-
He has a lot more gray on himself now.
-
I guess we both do.
-
I need to get some more current photos of him.
-
Tomorrow is grocery delivery day.
-
Of course, I forgot several items that I needed.
-
I could still add them, but I already rang up a big enough bill.
-
I think I need to shut off my computer.
-
No one here to say good night to, but I will say it anyway.
Good night.

I personally would not do that. Also if you download a lot of e-books it is so much easier to just do so by turning on the wifi. But otherwise I keep my wifi off so I don't have to plug in my kindle all the time.
I know it's easier to download through Wi-Fi, but I'm not a quick reader, so I like the idea of being able to get a library e-book and returning it instantly for the next patron, and then being able to take as long as I want/need to read it.

I agree! The screens on my phone and tablet are shiny and there's a lot of inconvenient glare. Not conducive to reading.

Does anyone here watch DESIGNATED SURVIVOR?
I used to. I really enjoyed (and can recommend) it, but I got so far behind and my DVR was really filling up that I had to drop and delete something. I had 12 episodes to watch and rehearsing a show now, I just don't have the time to ketchup on the episodes.
-

Neither am I...again, mostly because I'm in a show right now. I'm watching Star Trek Discovery on a free month of CBS All Acess, and hope I can get through the 15 episodes before my free month ends on April 22nd. I'm just now watching episode 4.
-
No one here to say good night to, but I will say it anyway.
Good night.
Good night, Tom. 8)

Tonight's rehearsal went well. We went over the couple of scenes that we blocked yesterday, and tomorrow we go onto another scene or two.
