TOD:

Nothing off the top of my head. But I do collect the books and therefore the covers for the Michael Shayne detective series. The ones with the art covers and not the ones with the photographs which are mostly cheesecake with (in my opinion) no artistic value

Off to work at the lovely World of Wisdom, like chocolate bittersweet and full of nuts.

Hopefully I can post later.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC opens tonight to a sold out house...I sold 53 tickets in one hour last night!

I won't be there....but I will send them my BEST vibes!

June 10 was my Dad's birthday and also that of my best friend when I was a youngen. My best friend always had fun birthday parties that I hated missing on the very odd years that my family had an actual celebration for my Dad. And yet, on the years that I attended my friend's parties, I felt guilty about not being home with my Dad. Such a heavy burden I carried.

Good Morning all. Thank you all for the sore throat vibes and thankyou to RLP for the salt water remedy.

I feel guilty and stupid for complaining about my petty sore throat when Elmore's Dad, and his SIL's parents and Jane's friend are all dealing with much more serious issues ands TCB is busy mending after a hip replacement.

However since I have essentially lost my voice (not necessarily a bad thing in some people's opinons) I am actually attempting to see the Dr this afternoon to see what he can see. he doesn't open his office until noon so I've left a message on his machine and will see when they can fit me in.

Good morning!

After the cool morning we had yesterday, I was hopeful our heat wave was nearing its end, but no such luck! It's going to be 87 today (already in the high 70s) though the five day forecast does promise cooling to the high 70s by Monday.

I know it's June, but PLEASE let this happen.

Good morning, dear friends! It's another cloudy, mebbe more rain kinda day up here. So I'll plant all those flowers I bought the other day. That'll be a nice rainy day activity.

There is a little brown mouse that lives in the house with me - I see him more frequently. I really should make a note to buy a live trap - I have been down to town a few times, and jes plumb fergot. I bet he'd like peanut butter...

June 6 is my mom's birthday. Likewise her father's birthday. I reckon the rest of the family will take flowers to the cemetary. I was moved to buy Yorzeit candles yesterday - that's a Jewish memorial candle one lights on the anniversary of a loved one's death. (Most of Yiddish is from Medieval German... so Yor: from German Jahr - "year" and Zeit: from German Zeit - "time" = Time of Year.) Jews are big on Remembrance... I know it was about 6 or 7 weeks premature, but I've been thinking about these first Yorzeits, and I saw them in Albertson's...

I agree, DR Vixmom. Any petty ailments I might have pale in comparison to what other folks are dealing with now. I have nothing whatsoever to complain about.

Matt H. · « **Reply #42 on:** June 01, 2006, 07:27:44 AM »

I'm looking forward to THE OFFICE marathon on NBC tonight. Yep, I've seen all these episodes, but as this is now my favorite comedy of TV, I will rewatch these episodes with great glee.

PennyO · « **Reply #43 on:** June 01, 2006, 07:28:35 AM »

Jeepers, it's peaceful up here. My own private retreat center... got the piano, the guitar, crayons and drawing paper, glue sticks and beads and sequins, blank books for journal entries, a wonderful library of books, wads of sheet music and opera scores, got videos and CD's, got internet. Got semi-tame wildlife. Got a forest and a stream and a garden... Who would NOT be at peace in such a place...

THE SOUND OF MUSIC is one amazing show. Nearly 50 years old with a movie version that was a world-wide phenomenon, and yet stage versions still remain cash cows. We didn't play to en empty seat for the three week run of the last version I did (350 seat house). A more recent version playing at a new 1,000 seat theater here had frequent sellouts last fall.

Vixmom - sometimes I lose my voice in order to shut me up so I can hear the private things I need to say to myself...

But, apparently, people with kids lose their voices from ailments the little ones bring home from school. I think Chas lost his voice - and the whole shebang - because he had such negative feelings about the biz and felt trapped by his career... some folks for whom I have been voice teacher/coach had vocal troubles as a symptom of their being unable to express certain hard truths... Fifth Chakra stuff is so interesting...

I remember a book from my teen years, that had a compelling cover... don't quite remember how it looked, but I remember I was quite taken with it - Bonjour, Tristesse. I should look for that book...

Life, of course, can always be better...but it's what you make of it, isn't it!

Is anyone else experiencing lingering delays between the moment you push "post" and the moment when the forum has accepted the post and refreshed itself?

It's taking 10-20 seconds, on average, this morning for me. Both from home and here at work.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #53 on:** June 01, 2006, 07:53:12 AM »

I'm hoping today moves along smartly. Nothing worse than a draggy day.

Having here to come to during lulls is great.

I suppose I could always go out for a little walk.

Matt H. · « **Reply #54 on:** June 01, 2006, 07:59:34 AM »

No, the posting is going fairly quickly on my end of the line. Logging on to the forum was a bit sluggish.

My BETTE DAVIS COLLECTION Vol. 2 set has not arrived. In fact, I haven't even gotten a notice from Amazon that it has shipped!

It's always delightful to see TCB arise from his mists of recovery to post. Last night, he was in rare form. Very subtle in some ways....LOVED the "Why, was he hungry?" response to one post.

But the one that had me rolling, in stitches, was:

Here's some pictures from THE SOUND OF MUSIC, if anyone wants to click.

TCB replied:
I think I would leave the convent for your Captain.

To which I submit, the Sisters of Lordy-Have-Mercy certainly have their hands full with you, TCB!

Re: The Bette Davis Collection Vol. 2 -- I will stick my keys into an electrical socket before I re-buy "Jezebel" and "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" again UNLESS I can get some kind of trustworthy proof that the films are much, MUCH better in their new release than in the original one (i.e. the restoration is remarkable, scenes have been restored...).

It's maddening when boxed sets include titles already out there...and already in my collection.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I just remembered to turnt he page in my calendar. I am looking at a beautiful picture of the Tropical Rainforest, Daintree National Park, Queensland, Australia

Thanks Tomovoz!

I also note that today is the first day of Winter!! Happy winter Tomovoz... we have just begun swimming in our pool and grilling our meals out of doors here. The Vixter has 17 more days in her school year and is studying for her final exams before the summer recess

I agree with you, and in the last Davis boxed set, I bought individual titles I didn't already have rather than the entire box.

However, that being said, every review I've read has remarked on the much improved image quality of JEZEBEL and BABY JANE, particularly the latter. BABY JANE has also been updated to a two-disc edition with extra features not on the first one. Additionally, the box contains that outstanding STARDUST: The Bette Davis Story documentary only available in this set (or recorded off TCM the next time it airs.)
