Well, you've read the notes, the notes were musical and all the time, and now it is time for you to post until the all the time musical cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PERIPETEIA!
-
First post after BK!
-
And speaking of Taco Bell, I actually went to Taco Bell yesterday for lunch, too! I think that the reason it was so crowded yesterday was because it was National Taco Day. I'm sure that it's all just a marketing ploy, but it got me into the place and spending money. ;)
-
Topic of the Day (when I'm at work):
My brand new Shoshana Bean USB thumb drive with over 200 MP3 files!
-
And now, to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
There's a national Taco Day?
-
Well I totally failed to observe it
-
Worked until 8 last night
-
When I got home Vixdad took me to IHOP for dinner
-
I ordered a half order of the chicken florentine crepes ( just one crepe instead of 2 they're huge)
-
They changed th recipe last year, adding tomato and replacing the hollandaise with cheddar cheese sauce...I always ask them to make it the original way
-
When our server brought our meals there were two huge crepes on my plate. She said I told them 1/2 order, I know you always get half order, that's all I'm charging you and I'll bring you a box for the other crepe
-
And so she did
-
And the crepes were made beautifully
-
So now I have lunch for today
-
I ended up fallingasleep right after we got home
-
Tomorrow morning I must get me to NYC , I am meeting a client at 9:30 to sign documents.
-
On Monday I have to fly to Missouri for a one day seminar being held on Tuesday
-
Then I fly back on Wednesday
-
I have no idea what my wifi capability will be so I may not be able to pop in here
-
Good morning, all!
-
I do not like the way I am aging. This morning I lost my balance and nearly fell, knocked over a glass of water, and created a mess.
-
Sneaky Annabelle has managed to climb to the top shelf of the linen closet and claim it as her Fortress of solitude. That area hasn't been looked at, cleaned, or dusted in ages, so now I know why she's having respiratory problems and where's she's really been hiding out when I cannot find her. I've closed the closet and this weekend I will clean out the whole shebang to give her and Thatch a clean playroom.
-
I actually had tacos for national taco day yesterday.
-
Good morning!
-
I must prepare to leave. Today is an orchestra reading of the materials Joshie and I prepared for I Married An Angel.
-
Nice USB drive George.
-
Feel better and decision making vibes for TCB.
-
Linen closet cleaning without falling vibes for DR elmore!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Got to run out for a while (I'm already late), but I'll be back later!
-
The concert sounds like it was fun DR GEORGE.
-
I think I'll leave HHW....I'm not happy....
-
I thought I would have a solo.
-
A STAR IS BORN was quite excellent. I enjoyed it very much. Mr Bradley Cooper and Ms. Lady Gaga were both good. The story is the story....but it was told well.....time went by fast and the star wasn't so much born as suddenly THERE SHE WAS....but the original music was good. I liked all of the songs.
I went to WalMart this morning to buy the soundtrack since it was released today. I was there at 9:15 a.m. and there was ONE...count it...ONE CD left on the rack....ONE.....it was the edited version which I assume means in the dialog parts they don't swear.... I bought it anyway - and it is nice.
-
Dialog during music.....almost ALL of my dialog was within music in SISTER ACT....
During Take Me to Heaven - I was giving my sermon during the intro, and the sisters were coming on doing some humming. If I got any laughs - and well....you know me....sometimes I went a few seconds long....so I just kept rolling my podium toward the center of the stage so they wouldn't walk in front of me.....I always finished before they started singing....but I got another laugh....
Then in Sunday Morning Fever, I had dialog in the music in FOUR different places with four different costumes....so I had to count the measures as I was talking....it was actually a fun challenge....
-
Good morning, all.
-
More meetings. Joy.
-
By now they must seem endless.
-
My elbow needs a break from using the mouse, and it is worse using my tablet. I will pop in much later today and only briefly.
-
Good morning/afternoon.
-
Well, I sent a request for information email to the director of the Christmas production. I'll wait and see if I get a response.
-
I thought I would have a solo.
One of the funniest spoken lines I can recall during a song, or at least I thought so:
at 3:12 - Nell Carter saying "Look, I don't care who she is, that's an awfully long solo." (Ain't Misbehavin')
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iejdQaaFLo
-
It's a gloomy day in Northern Virginia, but I don't care--the temperature is 20 degrees cooler than yesterday. It's 67 degrees now.
-
The article about the new Partridge Family-like series that's coming mentions "Partridge Family" was based on The Cowsills. Was that always acknowledged?
https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Fox-to-Develop-PARTRIDGE-FAMILY-Like-Musical-Comedy-20181005
(and any way for BK to capitalize on this?) :)
-
Senator Susan Collins sounds so much like Gwen Verdon; I keep thinking she'll end her soliloquy and finally do the number.
-
Well, I sent a request for information email to the director of the Christmas production. I'll wait and see if I get a response.
I hope you receive a response.
-

It is also gloomy here and only 51 degrees plus it is wet.
-
I am home from a good reading. Lots of questions to resolve and some notes to repair.
-
Annabelle and Thatch are fed and I need a nap.
-

Nice!

Oh, no! Glad you're okay!
-
Nice USB drive George.
Thanks, Jane! I'm really enjoying the music on it!
-
The concert sounds like it was fun DR GEORGE.
It really was, Jrand! And I'm really glad that I only missed one song of the concert. :D
-
I'm up, I'm up - a bit over eight hours of sleep, I think, so that's good. Must rest my voice today.

I found this message in "junk" today, from former dear reader PennyO - think I should do it? BEWARE, folks, BEWARE:
Hi,
Hope you're doing well? I need a little favor from you. I need to get an iTunes gift card for my Niece, It's her birthday but I can't do this now because I'm currently travelling. Can you get it from any store around you? I'll reimburse as soon as I am back. Kindly let me know if you can handle this.
Thank you very much. The total amount she needs is $200 ( 100 x 2 ) from any store around you. I need you to scratch the back of the card to reveal the pin, then take a snapshot of it showing the pin and have the image attached and email to me.
Penny.

I got something almost exactly like that supposedly came from a co-worker! :o

Sounds legit. I think I'll get her a couple too

Hello, everyone.

Hope TCB and Jane are feeling better.
Vibes to all who need them.

Well, any DR would know that that's not from Penny O. Not her style. She didn't say sheesh even once!
-
Larry, I'm glad you found Annabelle's hiding place. Hopefully, this will clear up her respiratory problems and keep you from a panic attack.
-
The falling may be from sarcopenia, a condition of aging where we lose tone in the skeletal muscles. I recall that you didn't feel that physical therapy helped you before, but perhaps it could help with this. A customized exercise program that you could do at home once you learned it might help.
-
If I may be allowed one small political post...
I saw my therapist, Erik, today. Erik is a Republican who hates Trump. Erik has a theory. He thinks aliens have landed on Trump's head--thus the hair--and sent tentacles down into his brain. It's not Trump speaking--it's the aliens who control what he says.
Just thought we needed some levity.

Too bad more Republicans don't think that way!

George, I saw those Choczero bars on Amazon, but have you seen any in the stores? How did you learn about them?

I think quite a few do, actually, but want the policies Trump advocates.
-
I have no news, but will comment on the general weirdness that's been about for several weeks now. Planetary unease?
-
If anyone--FJL? John G?--is looking for a topical product for muscle cramps or pain relief in general, I can recommend two:
Arnica Rub--a non-greasy cream that works well and has no odor
Magnesium oil (or gel)--absorbs easily, is very good for muscle cramps, and has no odor. I'm currently using MgSport Recovery Gel, available on Amazon.
-
TTFN.
-
George, I saw those Choczero bars on Amazon, but have you seen any in the stores? How did you learn about them?
I've never seen any in any stores around where I live. I've only seen them on Amazon (granted, I haven't looked at any other on-line sites). I don't know what I was looking for, but I was on Amazon and it was either in the "Sponsored products related to this item" or "Customers who bought this item also bought." I took a chance and really like them. They're not always available, though...especially the ones with coconut, but both the almond bars and the hazelnut bars are very good. ;D

I think they all just drank the Kool-Aid and just vote for anything that whoever made it to the finish line says to vote for. Much less independent thinking is necessary. :P
-
Not that the liberal side can't be followers, but they don't want to restrict independent rights in the way that the more conservative side want to.

Yes, former DR Penny was hacked.

LOL it did not sound like Penny.
-
Thank you DR Jeanne. I am doing better now, back to my current normal state.
We went out to dinner and I indulged in a messy salmon burger. It was delicious and I was able to hold it with both hands.
-
I also brought home extra coleslaw for tomorrow.

It says "with less itching". I don't like the thought of using something that might make me itch more than I normally do.

Back from picking up mail, including a total surprise little miracle - a royalty check for The Brain from Planet X, which has apparently had a very busy year this year - had no idea. It's not a bad amount at all - in fact, it's the biggest royalty check we've ever gotten outside of our advance.
-
Congratulations!
-
Thank you DR Jeanne. I am doing better now, back to my current normal state.

Congrats on the two-handed holding! :D

Thank you. These little accomplishments mean so much to me.
If only I had been able to tie my hair in a ponytail before walking in the rain. It kept slipping out of my hat & hood ruining my hair I had cut and styled today.

BK< does that mean you've earned your whole advance and get money from now on?
-
Listening to Puccini Without Words - a twoCD set on MCA Classics, OOP for many years - very enjoyable to just be able to hear these melodies sans singing.

My cousin Karl's wife can come in from something like gardening and totally change from sporty to looking ready for court (or a nice dinner) while sitting there taking to you without even having a mirror. (She's done court work as a lawyer, so I wonder if she has to get ready to appear in court anytime during a workday.)
I've seen women do that at offices over the years, but never without even a mirror or asking someone to help.
-
FJL, we've been getting actual royalty checks for at least six years now. The advance got used up in two or three years.
-

Great. I'll print that for Skip. Thanks!

-
DR FJL-LOL, while interesting about your cousin, I don't need a mirror to tie my hair I need both elbows working so I can reach my hair to tie it. I have tried but simply cannot do this one handed.
-
vixmom, just saw you emailed. I'll go sign in.
-
DR FJL-LOL, while interesting about your cousin, I don't need a mirror to tie my hair I need both elbows working so I can reach my hair to tie it. I have tried but simply cannot do this one handed.
Oh! That, too! :)
I'd go back and fix that, but I don't think BK would want to lose the post.
-
Elbow vibes to Jane!
-
As well as more healing vibes!
-
I just sent Keith a video on how to tie a ponytail ;D
-
Back from dinner at Uno Pizzeria and Grill with my friend Dennis.
-
Vibes for DR Jane!
-
Well, I must be going now. Tonight, I'm ushering for an open house at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts and I need to get some gas before I go. My friend Margo is ushering too, and we're going to get a late dinner afterward. I don't know where, yet.
Be back later.

We are about to watch season 4, episode 4 of POLDARK.

Wish I could sleep in tomorrow, but alas she of the Evil Eye will be here so I must be up at eight-thirty. But after the stumble-through, complete rest and relaxation.
-
I must be up at 7 to get ready and head into NYC to conduct a closing
-
Ill be done around 11 and Vixdad has plans for the day so rather than run home I shall wander over to the TKTS booth to see what's available
-
I forgot to buy a lottery ticket today
-
I wonder if anyone won that humongous jackpot
-
Since it won't be me I hope it's one of you
-
Especially if you're in a sharing kinda mood
-
:D
-
I am hoping to sleep in tomorrow which means around 7:30 if I am lucky.
-
Page four? Really?
-
Listening to symphonies by a French composer called Alberic Magnard. Very nice.
-
I'm looking for page 5. Has anyone seen it?
-
Because I like this MTM clip even with the strange lighting.

Good evening.
-
I am going to callbacks for a role in the play, YES VIGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS AT 10:00 A.M. tomorrow.
-
There are five actors, including myself, vying for two lead actor roles.
-
Well, I am up for only one of the roles, but the other four are called back for the two roles.
-
I read the play this afternoon. It is really a very sweet play, based on the movie of the same name; and, of course on the editorial in the New York Sun.
-
It is really two different stories that come together in the end.
-
I enjoyed it, and even teared up at one point.
-
I have no idea what will happen. I will give it my best.
-
I guess there are actually three leading male roles, but there are ther actors called back for the role, which is Virginia’s father (a younger male).
-
10:00 o’clock callbacks? Whoever heard of such things?
-
The other big Christmas show in town is SCROOGE; THE MUSICAL at Tacoma Little Theatre. That production is scheduled to run through the week after Christmas.
-
YES VIRGINIA closes the week before Christmas, so if I should get cast, maybe I can still see George’s show.
-
Actually, I hate A CHRISTAS STORY, musical or un, but I suppose I will see it if George is in it.
-
Well, I think I had better sign-off for the night.
-
Good night, jan.
-
Well, I must be going now. Tonight, I'm ushering for an open house at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts and I need to get some gas before I go. My friend Margo is ushering too, and we're going to get a late dinner afterward. I don't know where, yet.
Be back later.
Well, we went to McMenamin's The Spar for dinner.
-
I had the Hemp Slider Duo.
-
They were two small hemp burgers on buns with hummus and lettuce.
-
That's it.
-
They were kind of dry, but weren't too bad.
-
I added ketchup and that helped.
-
I'd never had them before, but if I get them again (and I might), I'll ask for mayonnaise to be added and have them hold the hummus.
-
I had the Hemp Slider Duo.
Rope sliders??
-
Their Cheeseburger Slider Duo are very good.
-
I had the Hemp Slider Duo.
Rope sliders??
Non-hallucinogenic pot sliders. ;)
