Exactly one year ago today, I made a trip to Best Friends Animal Society for their Adoptathan - zillions of cats and kittens for an adoption fee of $20 (usually it's $125-200 depending on the cat, breed, etc.).  They had no kittens; they had all been taken on Sept. 29, but there was another adoption event at Union Square beginning at noon.

I got to Union Square around 11:30, killed time for 30 minutes by looking at dogs (few cats) at the ASPCA van, before I got to the K9 Kastle event and found a 10-month old kitten named Annabelle.  It was love a first sight, and two hours later, after my references cleared, I carried her home.

To celebrate our one year anniversary, she nearly gave me a stroke yesterday by vanishing most of the day, and this morning she pushed the jar of zinnias that Ella and Tim gave me yesterday off the table, broke the glass and left a nice puddle of water.

I miss the old days of Ebay.

I was able to finance several trips to LA by selling things on it.

Title: Re: WHEN EBAY WAS YOUNG
Post by: Michael on September 30, 2018, 05:42:26 AM
I'll never forget I had a bidding war on the program from a touring production of Camelot with Richard Harris.

I interviewed Robert Cuccioli who was playing Lancelot for my radio show back then. He autographed it.

He then hit big with Jeykl & Hyde on Broadway and people wanted his signature. Two girls were trying to out bid one another. It ended up going for over $150. I was able to get a week's car rental out of it and then some.

It can never happen again. You can't even sell CDs or DVDs anymore there are just too many people selling things and people don't seem to like the bidding aspect of EBAY anymore. But now is the mantra.

I will never know how she ended up a stray on the streets.  Did she run away? did her stupid owners dump her? Did they move and leave her behind?  All I know is that on my birthday Sept. 19, she entered the New York Animal Control Center killing factory, was given an ID number, photographed, and neutered the next day.  If K9Kastle had not rescued her shortly after that, she could have been euthanized by Sept. 26.  This was her mug shot.

Today I'm going along with Kristi to the Martime Aquarium in Norwalk where she's been volunteering off and on for years. They've begun certain renovations which are going to result in some big changes over the next year, and both of us tend to be sentimental about things like that so I'm going to take a bunch of pictures of the place.

It's funny how certain spaces will do that to you. Not to everyone, but to some of us. It's not unlike neighborhoods, restaurants, theaters, and all the rest. So many people don't respond to this kind of thing. I do, in spades. Always have, though I wasn't sufficiently aware of it in earlier years.

Speaking of theaters, the elephant in the room has been that the Aquarium's original IMAX theater, one of the few 70mm ones left, will also be leaving us by next fall. It must be demolished to make way for the railroad bridge that will replace the century-old one carrying the commuter New Haven Line. IMAX will replace the theater with their latest and greatest, but it will have to be built at the other end of the Aquarium, and of course there will be no chance of them retaining the film capability. So I'll go in and see one of their nature features or whatever they're showing today, and will revisit it as much as I can over the months.

Here it is. Click to enlarge. You can (almost) see the elevated tracks running to the left. The bridge that has to be replaced is off to the right. The tracks actually bisect the Aquarium complex. Right now you walk through a little tunnel to go from the main part of the facility to the theater. This theater is a magnificent structure and it's heartbreaking to know we're going to lose it.

Now listening to another Korngold opera, Violanta - written when he was seventeen years old.  It's of high quality, especially his orchestrations.  I tell you, I run hot and VERY cold on opera, but these two Korngold operas I've just heard are everything I like - like The Crucible of Robert Ward, most Puccini.  I've got one more Korngold opera here, Die Tote Stadt, so that's next.  It's been an opera kind of a last few days actually.

Jane, I'm quite sure I haven't gained a pound and I'm really thinking, joking aside, that I may have lost a couple.  But these people who brag on Facebook that in a week-and-a-half they've lost eight or twelve pounds - I just don't believe a word they're saying.

Nope, not likely unless they had more to lose than you do.  You think you might have lost?  I knew you were joking but haven't you weighed yourself?

The Monsignor has taken his last bow....the audience was most enthusiastic, and everyone did a great job.

We said our goodbyes....and there were some nice sentiments expressed by the kids to me....most of which were sincere.

My dresser indeed was there for ALL the changes and READY....it was a miracle!

The audience was fantastic and ate up the songs, the jokes, the costumes, and the scenery...the orchestra rocked.  I am so happy to have been a part of it.  I love being in a hit!

What a great ending :)

A great ending, indeed.

Watching a somewhat irritating French flick called Godard Mon Amour from the man who directed The Artist. It's a story of Godard's relationship with actress Anna Wiazemsky. The character of Godard is the source of irritation, and it seems fairly true to life. Some of the humor arises from him being taken less than seriously by the young audience he wants the most. It seems the only people who like his movies are old and conformist.

I discovered a little more about the Bellaire area, which is not just a concentration of Chinese markets, shops and restaurants. There's also a Vietnamese section, and the street signs go from being in Chinese to Vietnamese. The takeover has been fairly thorough, and it's all fairly segregated. We were looking for a Chinese herb shop in the Vietnamese, but it apparently went out of business, only to be replaced by a Vietnamese herb shop. The staff didn't speak either Chinese or English, and they didn't seem to want Joy's business. Strange.

I'm thinking more people would be likely to try the "Beto Diet" than the "Ted Cruz" diet.   Even with all those burgers, Beto seems to be in better shape.  Maybe he just takes a bite of burger at each stop.  Or doesn't eat the roll? 

I'll do some research about their differences on social issues in the morning.

At least a couple of people weren't there because they were sick, and a couple others had jobs that they couldn't get out of.  We were told that they're going to have another recording session with those people and drop them into our recordings, so they'll get to be on it.
