Well, you've read the notes, the notes were stale and smelled like pesticide, and now it is time for you to post until the stale cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: FACULTATIVE!
-
First post after BK!
-
Tonight, I'm working concessions for the Washington Center's Comedy in the Box comedian for April, Drew Dunn (https://www.washingtoncenter.org/event/comedy-1904/). They'll have a separate bartender while I'll just sell sodas, cookies, candies, and nuts (cashews and almonds). It's pretty easy. I can watch the show if I want, but I'll bring my Kindle, just in case I don't want to watch the performer.
-
And on that note (C-natural), I'm off to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all.

First light in the east. That's me.

I recall seeing THE RIVER'S EDGE (1957) in Seattle when it was first came out. I recall liking it and wondered, with that cast, why it was playing the 2nd half of a double bill.
I haven't see it since, so I imagine that, if I saw it again today, my opinion might be different.
I guess that's a good reason not to revisit movies you haven't seen in decades.
-
Loving BK's continuing adventures with Schoenberg and others.
Wiki has a page on the Five Pieces for Orchestra. An interesting tidbit: "This [concert] was attended by Gustav Holst, who obtained a copy of the score, the only Schoenberg score he ever owned. Echoes of the work appear in The Planets (originally titled Seven Pieces for Large Orchestra), and in the opening of his ballet The Lure (1921), which closely resembles the third of Schoenberg's Five Pieces."

I certainly admired both Anthony Quinn and Ray Milland as actors, though I can't think of any films they made that are my "favorites".
Nevertheless, here's an Anthony Quinn story from my first memoir, MY FORTY-FIVE YEARS IN HOLLYWOOD...AND HOW I ESCAPED ALIVE:
Comedian Jack Carter, one of my publicity clients, and I were
on the Universal lot one afternoon for whatever reason and Jack decided
to visit his friend, Tony Quinn, on the set of his short-lived series, "The Man
and The City".
Quinn was relaxing in his dressing room trailer and we joined him
there. We’d been chatting for about ten minutes when there was a knock
on the door. The caller was a jeweler who said he had an appointment
with Quinn.
“Who are you?” Quinn said to the man, apparently embarrassed at
his being there. “I don’t know you.”
“But we had an appointment, Mr. Quinn,” the man protested. “You
said you wanted to see some diamond bracelets.”
“I’m talking to my friends here,” Quinn said. “You shouldn’t come
around bothering people like this.”
The man departed. Later, as we left the studio, Carter told me what
was going on. “Tony was going to buy a present for his mistress,” Jack
said, “and he didn’t want us to know about it.”

Good morning

Good morning, all.

Good morning!

I'm definitely putting "Don't eat stale matzo" on the list of rules for living like "Don't sleep in the subway" and "Don't stand in the pouring rain."

Good morning, all!

I was up too late dealing with the yes's and no's of whether a 3-year-old blind dog was silently murdered by the NYC ACC yesterday. So, I slept in, and Annabelle is antsy that we are off her schedule and she's acting out. I will return.
-
Annabelle says things could be happening we need to be OUT THERE, Larry.
Or does she call you Mr. Moore?
-
I am happy for MR BK that he is applying for his SS benefits which are owed him....and of course Medicare will come along with it to pay some of any medical bills that come up in the years to come.....
I applied early so that my benefits started the month they were due to start....so I don't know if MR BK will receive extra benefits from the time he applies until they finally kick in.....but they do hold back one month, so it will start to come one month after it is due.
Congratulations. IF you don't have your SS card, go ahead and apply for a replacement now.....I lost mine, but when they sent my original, they sent two and I accidentally found it so now I have mine.

Her heart belongs to Daddy!
-
Leonard weighs 14 lbs? DR Laura, are you sure he's a cat?
-
Annabelle and Thatch both weigh around 8.5 lbs, and she's pudgy. She likes her kitty treats. Thatch looks lean and mean - he's so beautiful - but I think I'd be happier if he gained about 8 oz. Yesterday, he hid behind my iMac and kept sticking his paws out to touch me.
-
I think I may do laundry today.
-
The RTE has sent me a form to be filled out for a bank transfer. They've asked me to return the check as well.
-
DR TCB, when Randy and Jo were looking for a house, there was an online virtual reality tour of the house and property they bought. Is there one for your condo?
-
Awwww....I'm sure it does DR ELMORE!
-
I'm still sad that my original Social Security card was lost to the ages so long ago. Just having it as an artifact would be nice.
Mine was issued in 1963 or thereabouts, and my name and number were TYPED on it, on a manual typewriter. I was the only kid we knew at that time who had one at such a tender age. It was because I'd taken my first regular job which was playing the organ at a church for $15 or $25 per week.
And yes, back then we carried them in our wallets like anything else. I know mine became worn, but I had it for years. Then at some point, I just didn't have it anymore. I wish I could remember when that was. I must not have had to show it to anyone for many years. That need finally did arise about 12 years ago when I was first hired as a keyboardist by one of the school districts. I went to the local SS office to apply for a replacement, they sent two copies, and now of course I know to keep them safely filed away. But I don't recall any difficulty in providing the birth certificate and whatever else they needed, and I know I wasn't asked about any list of former addresses. Maybe because I'd been at this one for a certain number of years.

DR JOHN G I have All His Jazz by Martin Gottfried - an author mentioned here by DR ELMORE a few weeks ago - and Razzle Dazzle The Life and Work of Bob Fosse by Kevin Boyd Grubb, which is more of a picture book with text.
Both are interesting.....although one says Carol Haney broke her ankle which sent her understudy Shirley MacLaine on for the second night of the show....and the other says Carol Haney pulled a ligament.... So there you are.
-
This made my morning.

I finished this about six months ago, and I think this is the source for the series. It's very good.

This is what mine looked like in the early 1960s. (I was wrong, above, about the number also being typed.)

This is exciting. Unfortunately I won't be in the area.

Last night we watched GLASS. I wish Keith had read the reviews he found this morning before we rented it. We might have skipped the film.
-
DR TCB congrats on taking the next step in becoming a home owner.

Elmore’s suggestion is the best in terms of both writing and research. It still has a few errors, though I can’t remember what they are now.
My favorite mistake was, I think, in the Gottfried. In a Sweet Charity caption, the tall, regal, black actress Thelma Oliver is misidentified as Thelma Ritter, who was none of those things.

In the Razzle Dazzle one the movie Kiss Me Kate is said at one point to have been released in 1959 and Carroll Baker's name is misspelled as Caroll Baker....
And Irene Ryan is not mentioned by name in either book in the Pippin stories.
-
Two more colorized I Love Lucy episodes are on CBS tomorrow night....including "Bonus Buck" which is the first episode I remember watching with my mom and dad when it originally aired.....
Yes, I'm old. March 8, 1954......original air date.....

TOD
Ray Milland is one of those who I can watch in anything, but some favorites are:
THE UNINVITED
THE LOST WEEKEND
THE BIG CLOCK
DIAL M FOR MURDER
PREMATURE BURIAL
PANIC IN YEAR ZERO
X: THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES
ESCAPE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN
I've never seen his TV series -- The Ray Milland Show in the mid-50s, and Markham a few years later.
Anthony Quinn is someone I need to see more of:
ZORBA THE GREEK
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
REQUIEM FOR A HEAVYWEIGHT
HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME gets an honorable mention even though I haven't seen it since I was a kid.
Also, the series JESUS OF NAZARETH, but I haven't seen that in a hundred years either.
-
I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of sleep.
-
TOD.
Ray Milland:
Dial M For Murder
Ebb Tide
Love Story
Panic In the Year Zero
Anthony Quinn:
The Greek Tycoon
Portrait in Black
The Shoes of the Fisherman
Hot Spell
Blood and Sand
-
Your welcome DR KEVIN H - I just happen to see the promo during The Amazing Race last night.....I don't know what the other episode is....
Of course a lot of humor will be lost because the episodes will be heavily edited to bring us more commercials....
-
Annabelle has turned up her nose at chicken tonight, so Thatch is getting two dinners.

Jerome Kern Revisited (http://www.kritzerland.com/kern_rev.htm) has arrived in Tumwater!
-
And once again, Facebook has banned me for 30 days.
-
There was this Facebook post about a dog that was kicked to death by some piece of Louisiana white trash. The man was beating his girlfriend and the dog tried to protect her. There were several photos, and here's the fearless abuser and killer.
-
So, I posted The dumbass cracker's got his dog killin' attitude on.
Shortly after, Facebook banned me for 30 days. I received this pop-up:
You recently posted something that violates Facebook policies, so you're temporarily blocked from using this feature. For more information, visit the Help Center.
So, I went to the Help Center and I read:
To keep from getting blocked again, please make sure you've read and understand Facebook's Community Standards.
This block will be active for 30 days more. If you think this doesn't go against our Community Standards let us know.
And there was a space to reply. I wrote:
What word bothered you? I posted in rage about a man who beat a dog to death. Take down the post and reprimand me, but these 30-day blocks are ridiculous.
Only it's Catch-22! They won't let me send it since I'm blocked.
Then I get this pop-up: Thanks for taking the time to submit a report. Learn more about what happens when you’re blocked or if your content was removed.
-
Good afternoon.
-
I am ready for a nap.
-
Did MR BK get his Social Security check yet?
-
I keep telling y'all - Facebook is hopeless for anything other than promotion or perhaps staying in touch with a few folks. Ron Pulliam actually posted about Larry saying Larry should post on Twitter (I hate Twitter more than I hate Facebook) so he can read his posts. I suggested that ol' Ron come back here, where he used to be a regular visitor, if he wants to read elmore's posts. That's what I do. :)
-
This is beyond infuriating, DR Elmore. I’m sorry to hear it.
And I can’t help but think - even on the evil Facebook - that that reply box is supposed to actually work. They’re inviting your response and providing a submit button, so WTF? I wonder if googling that would bring up anything useful.
-
Back from picking up some packages and a surprise WGA residual for The Faculty - not huge, but always appreciated - then a Taco Bell stop, then home and eating. I'm now listening to music. One of those "modren" symphonies by Ernst Toch, whose film music I enjoy, but whose twelve-tone serious music seriously has eleven tones too much for my ears. It's funny whose twelve-tones you can tolerate and whose you can't.
-
Page three? Just?

If I can make 800-plus posts today I can reach my new milestone.
-
I watched War of the Satellites on my ROKU this afternoon.
I like any space movie that has Barcaloungers for the team as the rocket takes off.

-
DR elmore my guess is "cracker's" is the word that got you kicked off.
-
I am enjoy a sunny, dry day. I am wearing shorts & a t-shirt. It feels heavenly. Tomorrow it should cool down again.
-
I'm quite full from the mess o' Taco Bell, but it was good today.

If I can make 800-plus posts today I can reach my new milestone.
PPPUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
-
And now, I must be off to work concessions for a comedy show, which I probably won't watch. Since those are in the smaller black box theater, there usually isn't any room for us volunteers to sit, so standing for an hour and a half or so for a comedian that I've never heard of and might not like at all doesn't sound like something that I want to do...so I won't. ;)
-
Of course, there's always the possibility that he's great, but I'm not that interested to find out.
Be back later.
-
I gotta tell you.
-
Now playing: the six-CD box set called The Cinema of Quincy Jones from Universal France. As with other Stephane Larouge "productions" thus far it is mastered way too hot - one wonders whether Mr. Larouge has hearing issues or just lets the mastering person do whatever he wants? Hint: this is not heavy metal music, this is a soundtrack.
-
DR elmore my guess is "cracker's" is the word that got you kicked off.
Of course it is. I'm not stupid.
-
Why would cracker get you kicked off Facebook. Weren't you talking about how that guy was like a Saltine?
-
Today was a rather busy day at work
-
Then I went right from work to church
-
Tonight we had a dinner worship for our Maundy Thursday service
-
Some of our members made homemade soup
-
There was vegetarian lentil soup, chicken tortilla soup and creamy tomato soup
-
I supplied a salad
-
And we had fresh Italian bread and butter
-
This made my morning.

I finished The Overstory today, Jane. Excellent stuff. Highly political, yet very moving.

Hmmm I got bounced off HHW it took me all this time to get back "server unavailable "

Can you get us off page three?

I need to get to bed.

Mario Lanza has given way to Joan Crawford and John Wayne in a World War II drama.
-
John Wayne fights. Joan Crawford wears Irene.
-
It's called Reunion in France.
-
Four!
-
Hello, 1 guest!
-
If you were Joan Crawford, what fashion designer would you wear to war?
-
And with that bit of nonsense, I'm off to bed.
-
Good night, all.
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Listening to music.

Got the May Kritzerland announced and the event page done.

Ha, ha.
-

Of course it is. I'm not stupid.
Well, cuz you figured it was ok to use the word on fb after previously getting kicked off for less
-
I finished The Overstory today, Jane. Excellent stuff. Highly political, yet very moving.
Thanks. Three books automatically checked out today, The Overstory was not one of them.
-
Tonight we went to a new restaurant with neighbors we socialize with and to an event at the old movie theater down a block.
-
The restaurant was very good. Keith and I both had quinoa burgers vegetarian burgers that were the best we have ever had. I had mine with homemade potato chips while keith had a Caesar salad. My chips were better than his just ok salad.
-
The event at the Kiggins Theatre was part of a series on local history. A local historian and author of "The Murder JoAnn Dewey in Vancouver, Washington" spoke about the the kidnapping, murder, trial, and politics at the time. She also talked about her research.
-
Some very interesting questions were asked after her slightly unorganized presentation.
-
Good evening.

I’m sorry I am late.

Hi, Tom.

Of course, this is Holy Week.

Where was everyone today?
I worked concessions for a night of comedy.
-
And this is Maundy Thursday.
-
Almost Good Friday.
-
In a few short minutes.
-
I didn't go in to watch the show.

Hi, George.
-
Did you listen to any of the comedy?
-
Page 5! At last.
-
Time got away from me.
-
We need to PUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH!
-
Let’s crack the whip.
-
Did you listen to any of the comedy?
Not really. When the first act started, I needed to restock the items that had sold. Then I just chatted with the bartenders and did a little reading.
-
Hi, jan.
-
Was the audience laughing?
-
And then when the second act started (the headliner), I had to clean up and put everything away.
-
That is usually a sign.
-
Was the audience laughing?
Yes. It seemed like they were enjoying the comedians.
