Well, you've read the notes, there was nothing wrong with notes, and now it is time for you to post until the nothing wrong them cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: CEILIDH!
-
Good day to all
-
Never watched Outer Limits.
Was a Twilight Zone fan.
Only watched the first revival and only a handful episodes were worthy of the original.
-
As for my favorites too many to list
-
Good morning, all!
-
Around 4:00am I got up to use the bathroom and stepped into a pile of cat vomit on one of the litter mats. I have no idea which one is responsible, but I suspect Thatch, since he eats anything and continuously. When I empty the litter this morning, I'll scrub the mat.
-
So, I was awake most of the past three hours fretting over a possibly sick cat and wondering if there were another pile of vomit hidden somewhere ion the apartment. It's going to be a long day.
-
DR TCB, will physical therapy help your atrophying leg? I'm hoping!
-
TCB - Hoping they can build your leg back up. test vibes also.
Re June 14th - I suspect you're probably right that there won't be reserved seats at the Redmond theatre, since the drop down menu even on dates that are on sale doesn't offer specific seats.. If that's right, it's probably like when it's general admission in New York, that unless something specific is arranged and "marked off" in advance, it's whoever gets to the show first gets the seats they want out of whatever is available.
When you saw Sharry in A Little Night Music, was it that way then, too, if you remember?
Even the Storm Theatre, where Last Starfighter had its NYC premiere, was general admission. But if the theatre knew of any special requirements, the artistic director there got his house people on it. (The Storm was/still is a union house, but I guess it still went theatre by theater.)

TOD: the legendary "To Serve Man" but I think there are others
-
Now I can't get The Manhattan Transfer "Twilight Zone" song out of my head.
(it has a favorite fake rhyme: Unpretentious / girl from Memphis )
-
Good morning, all.
-
TOD
Never saw Outer Limits.
A few favorites from the many Twilight Zone episodes include:
Burgess Meredith as the last man on earth and a bookworm
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet
An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge
Eye of the Beholder
To Serve Mankind
-
Vibes for TCB.
-
I didn't ketchup last night but I just have
-
Prayers and vibes for excellent test results for our Beloved John G
-
Prayers and Vibes for our Beloved TCB'. Are there any exercises or therapy that found help your leg?
-
Well it's not snowing or pouring down with rain so that's a nice change
-
Time to get myself in gear
-
Have a good day all
-
to answer BKs question of the past several days, no you have not told us what you see working on, I assumed that was intentional :D
-
Prayers and vibes for excellent test results for our Beloved John G
And the same to Beloved John G from here in Midtown Manhattan!
-
"Beloved John G" sounds like it could work to tune of "Sloop John B" - of you fudge the scanning a bit
-
Good morning, all.
-
Health vibes to our DRs TCB and John G.

I'm back from a regular checkup at the dermatologist, who zapped one spot for me and that's it for another six months.
-
DR TCB. I didn't intentionally leave. I fell asleep and slept about 6 hours.
-
DR George, darn on not finding yourself in the background.
-
My family and I (especially "I") devoutly watched TWILIGHT ZONE from its inception. I do remember watching a few episodes of THE OUTER LIMITS when it first aired, and I probably liked them okay, but apparently not enough to stick with it all the way.
I, too, still have the two DVD sets, and I know damned well I only watched a few episodes on them, so I look forward to getting the Blu-ray and methodically taking it all in. I can say, however, that viewing these episodes as an adult, even on the mediocre DVDs, made all the difference in my appreciation of them.
And I am very relieved to hear BK likes the transfer. I say that because I have a couple of Kino transfers that are mind-bogglingly, head-scratchingly, "hot" -- meaning too bright, almost looking overexposed -- and it would be crushing to hear that these B&W treasures suffer from that.
-
I'm back from a regular checkup at the dermatologist, who zapped one spot for me and that's it for another six months.
Very good, only one spot, that hasn't happened for me in a long while.
-
An example, for anyone who may have it, is Kino's Blu-ray of ONE TWO THREE. There's exactly zero black in it, only a sea of grays and whites. Now for all I know, maybe that's the way the movie looked, but I very much doubt it. And it's not the only Kino release to exhibit that quality.
-
Before I fell asleep TCB I did read your doctor does not know why you have been feeling unwell. (I had to type unwell as autocorrect will not type I'll, this last word with a lower case I and without the apostrophe)
I hope getting your potassium levels up and fixing the anemia problem will help you feel better.

I wish I remembered the name of the book I was adamant you read. You had other friends tell you the same thing. Without the name I can't ask if you ever read it ;D
Did you recommend it to me here or through goodreads? I don't usually look too much at the recommendations I get through goodreads as I get tons of recommendations from people I don't know personally. To me 3.5 stars is just average. I only recommend books that are 4.5 or 5 stars. :)

Working on a few ANNIE and Reunion related items today....soon at least the Reunion will be a thing of the past....I took my jacket to the cleaners today to be pressed and I bought a new shirt - so I guess I'm ready.

-
I guess the Cronkite show was Eyewitness to History.....but mostly during it, we were drinking Pepsi and discussing the TZ episode. :D

-
Before I went to bed last night, I saw an obit for Barbara Bush. I guess that was a mistake.
-
I had read she stopped having medical help Was it really a mistake?
I see now it was a mistake.
-
Congratulations to your nephew.

Good morning.

DR TCB, will physical therapy help your atrophying leg? I'm hoping!
No, I am just going to start using my walker all the time around the apartment which should help strengthen it.
-

Tuesday afternoon greetings! Still cold and blustery here in SW Ohio, but we have to get out to do errands today.

Do you have a plan to get your levels up aside from adding high potassium foods to your diet?
-
DR JohnG, is your nephew aiming for a professional musician's career?
He’s a sophomore in college with a dual major in performance and music education. He said several years ago that he was more interested in the education half, but I think he likes performing more now. At least now that he’s been given these opportunities.

I was going to go out to eat, but packages haven't arrived so I made tuna sandwiches and will start another set of liner notes.

Around 4:00am I got up to use the bathroom and stepped into a pile of cat vomit on one of the litter mats. I have no idea which one is responsible, but I suspect Thatch, since he eats anything and continuously. When I empty the litter this morning, I'll scrub the mat.
Larry, cats vomit...and somewhat regularly. It doesn't necessarily mean that they're sick. I don't worry about my cat vomiting because I know it'll happen again, and again, and again, ad nauseum (literally). ;)

Now I can't get The Manhattan Transfer "Twilight Zone" song out of my head.
(it has a favorite fake rhyme: Unpretentious / girl from Memphis )
And now my anal retentiveness must rear its ugly head: the full song is called "Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qe_Rt_oQhU)." First, they do a variation on the Seasons 4 & 5 intro to The Twilight Zone (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Twilight_Zone_(1959_TV_series)#Opening_narrations):
Spoken:
With a key, you unlock a door to imagination
Beyond it is another dimension
A dimension of sight
A dimension of sound
A dimension of mind
You're moving through a land of both shadow and substance
Of things and ideas
Guiding you through this wondrous journey
Is the hypnotic sound of the twilight tone
And then the song proper is actually called "Twilight Tone":
When I hear this melody
This strange illusion takes over me
Through a tunnel of the mind
Perhaps a present or future time, oh oh
Out of nowhere comes this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
Pyramidal locomotion
From a mystic unknown zone
Hearin' the twilight
Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
Unpretentious girl from Memphis
Saw the future through her third eye
People came with skepticism
Picking, testing her precision, no, wo, oh, oh
Suddenly they heard this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
A signpost up ahead is calling
Through the mystic unknown zone
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm)
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da)
Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm)
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da)
Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
Spoken:
Submitted for your approval
One Mr. Miller, who's about to take a trip
Into oddness and obsolescence
Through a zone whose boundaries are that of imagination
Accompanying him on this journey is the mesmerizing
Sound of the twilight tone
Sung:
On a cold and rainy night
One Mister Miller had a rare flight
Glen was up there boppin' a rhythm
Then the engine stopped to listen with him play that beat, oh, oh
Suddenly he heard this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
Now, he resides and plays trombone
In the mystic unknown zone
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)....

But I think it's great that you thought of that, Fred. I don't know if I've mentioned it, but I LOVE The Manhattan Transfer!
:D

Thanks, Jane. I'm disappointed...but it's not the end of the world. ;)

I've had Annabelle six months and Thatch for five months, and as far as I know, this is the first time it's happened. I remember my Siamese often hacked up a furr ball, but I don't recall much vomiting in the 16-18 years she was alive.

Now, if one has to get e-mails, this is the kind I like - from my friend Kay Cole, who just finished GEE. I removed a spoiler - just a line but I know there may be one or two who haven't finished yet:
Oh My Goodness……..
This is by far the best book you have ever written.
I could not stop crying…LOVED IT ..LOVED IT.
Just amazing visually and viscerally..
Such heart .. so poetic.
I am proud of you and for you..
Love you,
Kay

Well, I finally get to leave work. It's my niece's birthday and everyone is at my sister's house (and has been since 4:00!), but I've been in a meeting since 1:00 pm. :P But no more!
Be back later!

Today I showed a friend how to get downtown from her house for jury duty. She lives so very far away and doesn't drive on freeways or downtown. I showed her how to get to a light rail station to take the train downtown. And then where to go.
-
Cast for the May Kritzerland is finally set - Karen Morrow is one guest - she's going to reminisce about Grass Harp since we just put that out. And in the fun department, our other guest is Don Most (formerly Donny Most) from Happy Days - we've been trying to work this out for a while and May did the trick.

Those difficulties would not get her out of jury duty. She is lucky you could show her a simple way. How long will it take her? I didn't even know you had a train there.

What is this page three malarky?
-
It was mostly in the 40's today. 63 tomorrow. High fifties afterwards.

Can't we have some page four malarky?

How about some malarky for its own sake?

Scary Southwest Airlines flight today. Tragic that one passenger died.

I just "fixed" something I've hated on my 4-year-old HP laptop (the windows one) from day one. It's generally a fine laptop, but it came with "Beats Audio" which is presumably for high quality listening ----- Well, wait a minute, I shouldn't claim to know WHAT it's for, because no matter what I did with it, it always sounded like total crap to me, whether listening on my desk monitors or on headphones.
What prompted this was, just today, a CD I was listening to seemed to exhibit lots of limiting, or compression, and I spent an hour of my life that I'll never get back, running around the house, checking this CD and a few others on a regular player, then back to the laptop to check them again there. I finally narrowed the problem down to just the laptop itself -- as opposed to either a crappily recorded CD, the audio interface, or the speakers or headphones. This "Beats Audio" software thing was doing it, and there was no setting to change that would give me what I wanted, which was a basically unadulterated level of sound at whatever volume setting I chose.
Cutting to the chase, I found other people complaining about the same type of thing, and followed instructions on deleting "Beats" entirely. Doing so forces Windows to install a generic sound driver...and Voila! The new driver does none of that crap. Do the CDs sound like they do when played on my Oppo Blu-ray player? No, of course not. But now I'm rid of so much bizarre filtering and such that I can hardly believe that such a significant improvement was to be had so easily.
-
Watching a motion picture on the computer - we're doing a soundtrack release that's wildly out of film order and it's never been very effective as a listening experience despite it being a wonderful score. So, if the licensor will allow it, I'm going to reorder it in film order.
-
Finally some page four malarky.
-
It was mostly in the 40's today. 63 tomorrow. High fifties afterwards.
Not bad and no more school cancellations due to snow.
-
Later, or tomorrow, I'll listen to the same things via the MacBook to see what the difference(s) may be. Not that I expect any such awful behavior. But just for comparison's sake.
-
There. That was some fine page four malarkey if I do say so myself. :)
-
Though if I'd vented properly, we'd be on page fifty-three now.
-
Tomorrow evening I'm subbing for the keyboard player in the band at a high school dress rehearsal for a musical about a boys' band.
The last time I played this show -- what was it, two years ago, I think? -- also for a high school, the production was just horrible. Not one kid understood either the show or his/her own character. So this will be most interesting.
-
If I keep this up, I'll soon own page four.
-
But I have to go eat now.
Pizza. If you must know. And you must, you must.

But did she write a review?
;)

Hello, everyone.
-
Today I showed a friend how to get downtown from her house for jury duty. She lives so very far away and doesn't drive on freeways or downtown. I showed her how to get to a light rail station to take the train downtown. And then where to go.
Did you remind her to say " I'm sorry , can you speak up? I couldn't hear you" every time she's asked a question?

Today was Dental Day again, and hopefully the last of the abscesses and root canals is behind me. This was my twelfth dental visit in the past six months. There's other dental work to be done--OF COURSE!--but, short of an emergency, I'm taking a break from it for a bit. My bank account needs to recover. As do I.

If I'd been on that Southwest flight I don't think I'd plan to fly again. Admittedly, I don't like flying anyway.
What a frightening experience!
On my first transatlantic flight one of the engines caught fire, but we were somehow OK.

I have not read Jo Nesbo's "Macbeth" yet. I didn't realize it is part of the Hogarth Shakespeare project which gave 8 authors a chance to recreate one of the Bard’s classic plays. http://hogarthshakespeare.com/
There is one author, Gillian Flynn, still to publish a book.
Macbeth is 88 pages long. Jo Nesbo's Macbeth is 500 pages long.
I didn't care for Anne Tyler's take on Taming of the Shrew, but I loved Margaret Atwood's Hag-seed, which is The Tempest.

I came home to find some Cole Porter in the mailbox. How happy that has made me.

The King Lear disc doesn't work.

So, I'm watching a documentary called Terms & Conditions May Apply. Scary stuff.

I never met her ... But she would occassionally be my contact on loans we were closing for Wells Fargo, email and phone communication

Kay would write a review but she's technologically challenged - we'll see if she can do it when she's here.

Had a little dessert meeting.

Had to watch a movie to see about switching up the order of a soundtrack so it matches the film order, but there are so many missing bits that I'm not sure it's worth it, although I did ultimately identify where everything goes.
-
And what a fine movie, although I can't mention the name.
-
Also, my favorite performance of The Planets with William Steinberg conducting has been newly remastered for optimal sound and the new CD comes with a Blu-ray audio CD - I really must get my rear channel speakers hooked up now. What I didn't know is that Deutsche Grammophon in the 70s recorded a huge number of their albums in four-track quad sound - few were released because the LP format simply could not handle the information and frequencies well. So, this new version of this is directly from those masters so it should sound amazing - the downmix for the stereo CD is also from the four-tracks so that quality should also be superior to any previous CD or LP release, since that downmix would have been further generations away pre-digital.
-
I must say, this soundtrack does play better in movie order. So, if the label will allow, I may just do that and include directions for people who want to replicate the LP presentation. If I can't, then I'll include instructions on how to order in film sequence.

DR Jeanne, much needed vibes you do not have any dental emergencies.

I think I should read the 88 page Macbeth instead ;)

Excellent vibes and xylophones for all who need them.
-
What is this page six malarky?
-
DR John, and thanks for the feedback on the books you read.
-
I had not seen the update on DR Ron's mother. She is worse today than yesterday. I hope she pulls through.
Sending her more good vibes!

Cast for the May Kritzerland is finally set - Karen Morrow is one guest - she's going to reminisce about Grass Harp since we just put that out. And in the fun department, our other guest is Don Most (formerly Donny Most) from Happy Days - we've been trying to work this out for a while and May did the trick.
That's pretty cool! Congrats, BK!

Watching a motion picture on the computer - we're doing a soundtrack release that's wildly out of film order and it's never been very effective as a listening experience despite it being a wonderful score. So, if the licensor will allow it, I'm going to reorder it in film order.
Good! I hope they agree. It seems that a lot of the Disney animated musical soundtracks have all the songs first, and then the instrumental tracks. I really don't like that. I've come across a few sites where people have listed these tracks in the correct film order and to me that makes it a more enjoyable listening experience.
-
But I have to go eat now.
Pizza. If you must know. And you must, you must.
Hope it was good. Tonight at my sister's, we also had pizza for my niece's birthday. It was all quite delish. :D
-
Well, I finally get to leave work. It's my niece's birthday and everyone is at my sister's house (and has been since 4:00!), but I've been in a meeting since 1:00 pm. :P But no more!
Be back later!
Happy birthday to George’s niece.
Thanks, John! It was a simple celebration just with family...as usual.

It appears Barbara Bush has died.
We were talking a bit about that at my sister's.

Now I can't get The Manhattan Transfer "Twilight Zone" song out of my head.
(it has a favorite fake rhyme: Unpretentious / girl from Memphis )
And now my anal retentiveness must rear its ugly head: the full song is called "Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qe_Rt_oQhU)." First, they do a variation on the Seasons 4 & 5 intro to The Twilight Zone (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Twilight_Zone_(1959_TV_series)#Opening_narrations):
Spoken:
With a key, you unlock a door to imagination
Beyond it is another dimension
A dimension of sight
A dimension of sound
A dimension of mind
You're moving through a land of both shadow and substance
Of things and ideas
Guiding you through this wondrous journey
Is the hypnotic sound of the twilight tone
And then the song proper is actually called "Twilight Tone":
When I hear this melody
This strange illusion takes over me
Through a tunnel of the mind
Perhaps a present or future time, oh oh
Out of nowhere comes this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
Pyramidal locomotion
From a mystic unknown zone
Hearin' the twilight
Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
Unpretentious girl from Memphis
Saw the future through her third eye
People came with skepticism
Picking, testing her precision, no, wo, oh, oh
Suddenly they heard this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
A signpost up ahead is calling
Through the mystic unknown zone
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm)
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da)
Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm)
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da)
Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
Spoken:
Submitted for your approval
One Mr. Miller, who's about to take a trip
Into oddness and obsolescence
Through a zone whose boundaries are that of imagination
Accompanying him on this journey is the mesmerizing
Sound of the twilight tone
Sung:
On a cold and rainy night
One Mister Miller had a rare flight
Glen was up there boppin' a rhythm
Then the engine stopped to listen with him play that beat, oh, oh
Suddenly he heard this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
Now, he resides and plays trombone
In the mystic unknown zone
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)....
I've never seen this before!! Thank you!!
You're very welcome, Vixmom!

What's really cool is that a few years later for their music video for Blee Blop Blues (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgLiySJsAfc), they set it in an episode of I Love Lucy! They very accurately recreated the set and became the characters...and it completely works!

Today was Dental Day again, and hopefully the last of the abscesses and root canals is behind me. This was my twelfth dental visit in the past six months. There's other dental work to be done--OF COURSE!--but, short of an emergency, I'm taking a break from it for a bit. My bank account needs to recover. As do I.
