but then I had an idea!

I just bought a bunch of cheap LPS and 45's and I am finding pictures of Beatles record labels online - printing them and I shall cut those out and glue them to the records I have

vixmom · « **Reply #122 on:** March 07, 2015, 04:46:59 PM »

I've done 6 LPS and 4 45's so far and they don't look half bad

vixmom · « **Reply #123 on:** March 07, 2015, 04:47:35 PM »

I will take some pictures when I am done and post them here for your perusal

I am pondering, as I clean out kitten drawers, why there are so many containers that are missing lids, yet I have many lids that need containers.

I think that's Gibbs' Rule #86.5 (little known, but there it is).

I'll head over to the theater in about twenty-five minutes. I'll clean up the little stuff I need to, then I'll decide if I'm staying or not.

I think so, kind of like how socks so missing in the dryer.

I don't really have a missing sock problem, but other people I know do.

Off to watch HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 1

Back. Not exactly a full house, which for some reason surprised me, and they were an all too quiet audience. But as far as I could tell, the show was good.

Got a ~~manatee~~ matinee tomorrow, then nothing till Thursday.

When I get up to refill my peanut butter filled pretzels and Jim Beam Black, I'm going to SPRING the clocks forward.

We have tried to trick ourselves into thinking it is an hour later. So far it isn't working. I liked the movie.

Topic of the Day (in chronological order):

Show People (1928...~~this was just on TCM not too long ago~~)
Sunset Blvd. (1950)
Singing in the Rain (1952)
A Star Is Born (1954)
Silent Movie (1976)
S.O.B. (1981)
Postcards from the Edge (1990)
Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)
The Artist (2011)

Well, my crappy memory rears its ugly head yet again. "Show People" wasn't on TCM. I saw it at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts with live organ music. How could I forget that??

Silent Movie (1976)
S.O.B. (1981)

and because it is just sooooooooooo bad

The Oscar with Tony Bennett as Hymie Kelly.

And who could forget

The First Nudie Musical

Who? Me, obviously.

"TFNM" should be on my list, too!

I'll have you all know I'm not ready to give up that hour tonight. No sirree, not yet. It's just too damn soon. That has always been a springtime ritual. Just like the other change was always a fall ritual. But they've changed it, and now, at least here in the northeast, they're both a winter pain in the ass.

I hate change when it comes to "rituals".

Sometimes I hate change when it doesn't come to "rituals".

I'm really going to miss that hour tonight. I am going to see "The Miracle Worker" in Tacoma, and the show starts at 2:00 pm, which really means that it starts at 1:00 pm. It wouldn't be any problem if I didn't buy a ticket for the matinee, but I did. Oh, well. It'll be a great show.

Last night I went to see "American Showstoppers: an Evening of Irving Berlin" with Fred Barton and his Orchestra. The singers were all terrific. They included Karen Murphy, Lee Roy Reams, Karen Ziemba, Damon Kirsche, David Elder, Natasha Yvette Williams and, oh yeah, Brent Barrett.

That sounds like a wonderful concert! I wish things like this were recorded...preferably legitimately.

George · « **Reply #139 on:** March 07, 2015, 11:37:16 PM »

Tonight, I saw a two-person play called "Sunset Limited." It's about two men, one named Black and one named White (played by a black man and a white man, respectively) and Black prevented White from committing suicide by jumping in front of a train, the Sunset Limited. The show was about two hours long with an intermission and they talking about life and death, religion, atheism, some pretty deep stuff.

George · « **Reply #140 on:** March 07, 2015, 11:38:00 PM »

It was well done, although Black seemed to have a little trouble during the second act. They first performed the show last weekend in Tacoma, where the theater company is based. This weekend, they performed at The Midnight Sun. The house was about two thirds full and everyone seemed to enjoy the show.

And even though this happened a couple of days ago, it deserves to be preserved (if slightly modified for the purpose of preservation

):

Congrats, KevinH!!

George · « **Reply #144 on:** March 08, 2015, 12:19:05 AM »

And now, I'm off to bed so that I get enough sleep to be able to stay awake for the drive up to Tacoma and to see "The Miracle Worker."

Have a good day, all.

this year's theme is Rock 'n Roll and my band is the Beatles

In honor of their first U.S. album, you could call your booth:

EAT THE BEANTLES
or
MEAT THE BEANTLES
