Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fit, and now it is time for you to post until the fit cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: NUANCE!
-
'night
-
Good night, Jane. I'm off to bed, too.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I was so tired I went to bed at 8:00 and slept quite well. I had lots of dreams but now I only recall snippets of them. It was chilly so I spent some of the night fighting three cats for bed space.
-
I, too, am worried about DR TCB. I will make an effort to call him later this morning.
-
Last night my TV remote died. I tried replacing the batteries and that was a dud. So, around 9:30 I will step out to the nearest Time-Warner location and pick up a new one.
-
I am relieved to hear TCB is ok
-
I have a chiropractor visit this morning
-
Yes, good to hear about DR TCB.
Thanks, DR George, for checking.
-
Good morning, everyone.
-
This sounds good. Just not for breakfast.
-
I have been offered some overtime, so I'll be working this morning from 8:00AM to noon.
-
Huzzah!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Debussy has two or three unfinished operas. The only one I’m a little bit familiar with is The Fall of the House of Usher (La chute de la maison Usher).
-
Good news about DR TCB.
Chiropractic vibes for DR VIXMOM.
-
DR singdaw - the Merrie Melody and Looney Tunes cartoons along with the MGM cartoons are on each morning from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. on MeTv......if you can stand the host and his puppet.
They also have a two hour block on MeTv from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Saturday morning.
-
I also really find Kathryn Grayson's voice very strange. In the upper registers her voice HURTS to listen to......Jane Powell is the same way.
Deanna Durbin sang the same notes - sometimes the same songs - and her voice didn't do that.....nor did Jeanette MacDonald's voice for the most part.

Good morning!

Glad to hear that TCB is okay.

Good news on TCB.
-
It's rainy and unpleasant outside. I should have put the things I needed instead of my cloth traveling bag and every is now quite wet. I got to 96th Street, walked into the Spectrum store, told the man I needed a new remote, he gave it to me, and I was out of there in five minutes. The worst part when I got home was programming the remote since I really do not know what thew hell I am doing. Everything works, so I guess I did it right.
-
I just learned I hav some NUANCE and new uncles.
-
I’m not out of bed yet.
-
Stella is zooming all over the apartment. That little girl is manic.
-
But I need to start the day.
-
Two!
-
The bird is calling.
-
I'm up, I'm up - probably seven hours of sleep.
-
Today's epic is The Princess from Montpensier, a costume drama from Bertrand Travernier, and it is certainly unlike any other film of his I've seen. 16th century France. A young woman is sold into an advantageous marriage with a man who loves her. But she has her eyes on someone else. And she has ideas of her own. So do some of the men who want her.
A dash of feminism, a dash of Three Musketeers, costumes, battles, lust. Very French and fun.
-
the host and his puppet.
Can you see me raising my eyebrows? :D
-
Just had a video chat with the kids. They are looking forward to baby sitters visiting ;D
-
A lull.
-
Funny, that.
-
Saturday afternoon greetings! We’ve had a quiet day watching Michigan defeat Indiana on the basketball court.
-
LOL DR singdaw.....yes I can.
-
55 degrees outside.
-
Barnum is busy at his abacus and complaining a lot. He must be doing his taxes.
-
My State Refund of $58 was deposited in my account on Thursday.
-
Congratulations on your refund, JRand. It’s certainly better than owing anything.
-
Up from a nap.
-
Being lazy today.
-
Full moon in Virgo tonight......get things done and get ready to move on.
You don't have to be precise, but at least take some action or START things rolling.
-
Up from a nap.
Ditto.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
I tried a new chiropractor the other day, but the jury's still out on whether I like her. She's nearby and takes my insurance--two positives--but everyone practices a llttle differently. The guy I went to last year was very good and did help me, but he doesn't take any insurance. At least I have him as a back-up. There are lots of others I can try, too. but I could use some reiief sooner rather than later.
-
Has anyone seen "Henry IX," the British comedy series? I'm rewatching it. It really is fun. Apparently there were two more seasons, but neither Acorn TV nor Amazon have S2 or S3, and there's no DVD. Sigh.

You WOULD say that! And I feel so unmotivated today! ;D

Are you buying us all lunch?
-
My new little flashlight arrived. It's a very bright light. I like it. Perhaps I'll name it after DR Jane.
-
TTFN.

I am sorry you didn't have relief. I haven't found them helpful. Everyone is different.

My new one also arrived.
-
Had a light breakfast at Jinky's but it was not fun - VERY cold, VERY windy and I should have left. Not good for me. And of course when I did leave, then it got hot and the wind stopped.
-
I spent time skimming the book, then finally came home.
-
Yes, they will.
-
Listened to music and did a few things on the computer.
-
PAGE THREE DANCE OF NATURE DANCE!!!

Tonight, we are attending a surprise online birthday celebration for Daniel, who was paired with the first lab we raised for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. I believe he is on his 3rd dog since Yeager.
-
Long ago. Happy memory.
-
That is me on the left and the DH on the right; Daniel and Yeager the dog in the foreground. This was their graduation day.
-
Listening to a weird children's opera by Hans Werner Henze - not a fan of his music, but heard a bit on YouTube and it seemed tuneful. And some of it is and some of it isn't - it's very strange, kind of Carl Orff meets Kurt Weill and both take LSD.
-
Oh, it's called Pollicino.
-
Wisdom.
-
The eggs benedict weren't as good as usual and very little Hollandaise.
-
I just saw an article online about that opera, bk. Can't remember where, though.
-
Or maybe it wasn't that one. The author was marveling at the idea of a twelve tone opera for children.
-
My care package from Criterion has arrived and I'm a happy boy.
This Fellini set...my god. :)
-
That was quick, DR ChasSmith!
-
The Ingmar Bergman Criterion box looks pretty swell, too.

Nice photo DR Singdaw.

To be part of the graduation celebration, very nice indeed.

;D
-
TOD: Why hasn't MGM ever done a definitive box set of all their classic musicals?
-
Thank you, DR Jane.
-
I have a chiropractor visit this morning
I hope it went well.

Similar to what DR Laura was saying I might be able to get a covid vaccine when they open up appointments for my mom. As of now people that are 80 and older can get appointments and bring a person with them. So if the same rules apply to the next age group (and if they let any age person accompany them) then I should be good. I guess I will find out in the next few weeks.
I was able to make an appointment for an older neighbor. So now I know exactly what to do (it's very similar to how I registered for my flu shot). I was able to do it in about 3 minutes.

I guess they couldn't book John Daker.

Does your neighbor need you to drive her to get vaccinated?
Good luck doing this for your mother and getting vaccinated when you take her.
-
DR Laura will you be returning with your DH for his second shot? Maybe you will get lucky.
-
Our daughter in-law's mother in NY has not been able to get an appointment. Fortunately you risk have catching covid are low do to staying isolated. I expect she too would like to meet her granddaughter.
-
Sorry. I didn’t know I was missing.
-
I have some things to get straightened out. See you again.
-
Good to see you, TCB. Hope you get everything straightened out.
-
Thanks for popping in, DR TCB. Take good care.
-
The Ingmar Bergman Criterion box looks pretty swell, too.
I love that Bergman collection because it's complete. The Essential Fellini isn't complete enough for me. And I have 75% of the movies in it separately, so I'm not interested in getting them again in a collection.
-
But I did order the three Bunuel movie set. Looking forward to that. i love The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie.
-
Well, that was an hour and a half of pure joy. 50 far-flung folks, from all facets and phases of Daniel's life, paying tribute with memories and laughter. It's a testament to his beauty and integrity to have such a wonderful celebration from his friends. This is what Zoom can do.
-
Has there been any recent news of the Sondheim Bunuel project?
-
I'm now watching a depressing Criterion documentary called Minding the Gap. It's about skateboarders who really would rather do nothing else in their lives. But they've got kids and responsibilities and the rest of what happens in life. And it's hard to watch. It's also really good, which is why I've stuck with it for the first half.
The photography is excellent. The boys really do seem to be flying on their skateboards. There is a sense of exhilaration there.
-
Has there been any recent news of the Sondheim Bunuel project?
It has been shelved. Sondheim and Ives, who was writing the book, have parted ways.

Gratuitous post No. 100!
-
Good night, everyone.
-
Had dinner with friends tonight. Felt good to be around people for a while. Cecil grilled golden trout. We had good wine. And a good few hours.
His garden was destroyed in the recent cold snap. He doesn't know if his olive trees will be back, and I don't know about mine. He lost all his citrus, many of his herbs, his eggplant, etc.
But some of his herbs are coming back. The parsley planted in the ground was growing -- just like the mint I have in the ground.
-
Good night, everyone.
Good night, Singdaw. Have some good musical dreams.
-
Sorry. I didn’t know I was missing.
Yay! TCB is back!
-

Where in NY is she?

I have spent most of the day trying to learn how to use video editing software
-
Former DR Edisuarus has nothing to worry about
-
Good night, all.
-
I'm up, I'm up - oh, wait...
-
Listening to a Strauss opera Die Frau Ohne Schatten.
-
Sorry. I didn’t know I was missing.
Very missed.

I am sorry about the losses & hope your trees come back.

Agreed!

Great picture!

I was thinking about getting that, but I have two of the three movies, already, so I didn't want to double dip.

Darn. :-\

I wonder if anything that Sondheim has written for it will ever be heard.

Oh, no! That's terrible! :(

Today at my sister's, we had quesadillas.
-
They were quite good and we all had too much!
-
We played a game of Phase 10, and I forget who won, but I lost.
-
After my mom left, my sister made this dessert that she found on a Facebook video.
-
You take a pie pastry, cut it so that it can wrap around a banana, add some Nutella in the middle, put the banana on it, cut the pie pastry decoratively and wrap it all up, then bake it until it's done.
-
It wasn't bad, but the pie pastry was too thick and didn't bend easily, so it didn't look good at all...it tasted okayly, though.
-
I brought one home with me and ate it not too long ago (long enough after our lunch and original dessert), but it was still much too much to eat this late! :o
-
I think if my sister tries it again, we decided to try it with puff pastry instead.
-
I've used that and it's much more malleable and lighter in texture so that it won't (hopefully) overpower the banana and Nutella...hopefully.
-
The concept seemed sound, though.
-
And the video made it look real easy, but I couldn't cut the pie pastry exactly the way it should've been cut, so I just had to try and wrap the pastry around the bananas.
-
Again, the concept was sound, just not the execution. ::)
;)
-
Tomorrow (actually, today, since it's after midnight), I have an online union meeting.
-
It's scheduled to only take about an hour and a half.
-
It more than likely will only take the hour and a half.
-
They've been pretty good about keeping the time limits in check.
