Today is my family's weekly family dinner...I think.  Wednesday is my niece's birthday, so we may skip today's family dinner and just go to the restaurant for her birthday dinner.  I'll find out later today.

Post by: bk on April 13, 2019, 12:34:10 AM
Malcolm Arnold's music is so interesting - tuneful, lovely, much like his film music.  And I never don't get tickled when I hear A Grand, Grand Overture for vacuum cleaner and orchestra.  It's brilliant.

I like them.  You get double the regular meat (if there's meat in what you choose).  The problem is that when they try to wrap it, there so much stuff that it's difficult for them to keep all the stuffings in the wrap.  It's like they try to squeeze it into a smaller wrap area that what's possible.  Of course, it all still tastes good, but it tends to be messier than it needs to be.

I don't bully.  It is not in my nature.

DR George I didn't pay attention to the mixed drinks.  I saw people with sand buckets and shovels but never asked what they were. 

Ok, I found photos of the cool looking lava lamp.  I would be willing to take a sip out of curiosity though vodka is not my drink, even with rum in it.

I had lots of dreams, most of which I no longer remember, but I do remember a long dream about remaking "Father Knows Best" and something about working at Barnes & Noble.  I also had a strange dream in which I was in a porn shop looking for a deck of playing cards!

You could probably buy such a deck from Ali Hakim, DR Elmore.

In 1997, when the New York State Theatre Institute had the release party for the DVD of A Tale of Cinderella, there was a huge party and tons of Italian food from the Italian community around Albany.  The musical may have been set in the canals of Venice in some fairy tale time, but the show owed more to the nostalgia of Italian Americans.  Every show I worked on for NYSTI involved lots of really wonderful Italian meals.  It was a great place to work.

If anyone has a link to the Hardcover version of MAGIC CASTLE, please post it here so I port my review over.

When I search for it on Amazon, only the Kindle edition shows up, so that's where I posted my review.  I click on "Show Other Editions of this book" and nothing comes up - it just changes to "Hide Other Editions of this book."  Strange.

We enjoyed TROJAN WOMEN last night.....it is a thought provoking piece...and the set, costumes, lighting, music, projections, etc were excellent.

Then we had a talk back and I felt preached to - but that's okay....I will be very glad when this current generation solves all of the problems we have since it seems simple for them to do....and I was certainly not aware that when we see a number that represents folks displaced or killed because of conflicts, etc....that those are not MERELY numbers....those are PEOPLE...and we need to think about that!

Facebook is having one of its HELL days. the kind in which my news feed seems entirely broken.

It either shows a limited number of posts before reaching the bottom of the scroll, or it shows exactly one post and stops, or it doesn't show anything at all and instead says "Welcome to Facebook, etc."

Ha thanks for the links....and indeed it takes me to the HARDCOVER....I scroll down on the Kindle edition....but no other ones show up on my page....weird.  Usually the hardcover comes up first in my search, but for this book....nada.

Don't bother calling MR BK - I'm sure they will say it's something we're doing.

DR Ginny, do you find yourself compelled to buy books at these book sales?
Title: Re: HELL DAY
Post by: Jeanne on April 13, 2019, 01:00:36 PM
Last night DR John G asked if he'd like WINTER SOLSTICE.

All the characters have suffered major losses and are often forced to make significant changes, but they meet new people and make new friends and come through it all. It's a story of great warmth. Ms Pilcher is a fine writer, the characters are well drawn, and the story moves along nicely.

Do I think you'd like it? Yes.

When we walk along the river there are a few tall poles with platforms for the Osprey to nest.  There is only one along our section of the river and it gives everyone great joy to watch the Osprey nest and to see the babies.  Today a huge log took out the pole :(

This year two Canada Geese had nested in it.  I guess it is better that eggs and not babies were in the nest.

Exceptionally busy day. First Fiesta event was selling beer at the Fiesta Oyster Bake. No oysters, however, because the refrigerator truck broke down and the contents were destroyed. By the time I left, they hadn't received a new shipment from the coast.

But I had bacon-wrapped quail on a stick and chicken on a stick as well as an ear of corn.

I do love that Ann Darrow in 1932 is a "woke" woman of color who spouts "woke" things, sings a lovely ballad about Kong being in chains and her understanding what that's like - I'm not making this up.  And she ends the show with a power ballad that is one of the worst things I've ever heard.  And the songwriter is named Eddie Perfect.  I rechristen him Eddie Anything-but-Perfect.

DR George I didn't pay attention to the mixed drinks.  I saw people with sand buckets and shovels but never asked what they were. 

Ok, I found photos of the cool looking lava lamp.  I would be willing to take a sip out of curiosity though vodka is not my drink, even with rum in it.

Jane, the sand bucket with the shovel is The Bucket (https://www.therockwfp.com/menu/#beverages).  The Classic version has five different kinds of rum and is Margo's favorite drink from there.  And the Lava Lamps are available with either vodka or rum, not both.

When I first heard of them, they only had one kind of Bucket (with 5 kinds of rum) and one kind of Lava Lamp.  I don't know which was the original Lava Lamp, though.

So I guess, one way of another, I will be able to sleep tomorrow night.

In 1997, when the New York State Theatre Institute had the release party for the DVD of A Tale of Cinderella, there was a huge party and tons of Italian food from the Italian community around Albany.  The musical may have been set in the canals of Venice in some fairy tale time, but the show owed more to the nostalgia of Italian Americans.  Every show I worked on for NYSTI involved lots of really wonderful Italian meals.  It was a great place to work.

That's nice.

Well, it is stunning outside today.  The populace seems to have taken the weekend off.  The buses are empty, the traffic is nil, and  I guess everyone has gone off to the country for the weekend.

It's been raining almost all day, here in Tumwater.

Vixmom, I think $600 for four tires is very reasonable.

I paid about $360 (on sale) for my Michelin 80,000-mile tires at Costco. ::)

DR George I didn't pay attention to the mixed drinks.  I saw people with sand buckets and shovels but never asked what they were. 

Ok, I found photos of the cool looking lava lamp.  I would be willing to take a sip out of curiosity though vodka is not my drink, even with rum in it.

Jane, the sand bucket with the shovel is The Bucket (https://www.therockwfp.com/menu/#beverages).  The Classic version has five different kinds of rum and is Margo's favorite drink from there.  And the Lava Lamps are available with either vodka or rum, not both. 

Thanks.  I thought vodka & rum was a steange mix.  I saw 2 buckets on a table and watched to see if the people were going to drink or eat out of them.  I didn't see either.  I saw they were aready done with those huge drinks.

And you get to bring the bucket home with you.  They'll rinse them for you, too.  I have six of the Lava Lamp cups!

When we walk along the river there are a few tall poles with platforms for the Osprey to nest.  There is only one along our section of the river and it gives everyone great joy to watch the Osprey nest and to see the babies.  Today a huge log took out the pole :(

This year two Canada Geese had nested in it.  I guess it is better that eggs and not babies were in the nest.

That's too bad.  I wonder if they'll replace the pole. :-\

Probably not if the wind is blowing the rain sideways, but normally, yes.

The last time I lived in South Hill Puyallup (at the end of the last century), the area where the condos are was just farm land and forests.  Now, the whole area is built up out there.  I would be about two blocks away from Wendy’s!!

There are areas around here that were just empty land a few years ago and now are nothing but housing.  I guess that that can be a good thing.  And we need a Wendy's here in Tumwater!
