I have no Agnomen. I don't consider Ben to be one, even though my full name is Benjamin. I've never had an Agnomen unless people have created one and call me that behind my back. Perhaps that was what Larry and Jose were up to yesterday when they had dinner. They created Agnomens for everyone on HHW

Question for BK:

What were the first and last comedy albums you ever purchased?

And, yes... As I sit here at the kitchen table with my laptop, I also happen to have the vocal scores to Sweeney Todd, Merrily We Roll Along, Sunday in the Park with George, and Into the Woods in front of me.

Color me Geek!

Early on in the home computer days, I became fascinated with midis. I bought Cakewalk in order to create my own. But since I didn't have a keyboard to input the notes, I would open up Cakewalk's staff view and meticulously copy the treble and base lines note-for-note from sheet music or vocal scores. Sometimes it came out great, sometimes not (the older versions of Cakewalk did not allow for recreating some notation such as slide notes.) My "magnum opus" was creating a midi of the FOLLIES overture with all of the orchestra parts, copied from the full score book. It sounded terrific--until I hit some button that flattened out the entire thing somehow and, to top it off, I accidentally saved the file that way. That was very discouraging.

I'd like to get into doing this again. DRs Elmore, Jose, Penny-O and JMK have all talked at one time or another about a piece of software called Finale. Would that be a good system to work with for creating midis?

Good morning everyone. Another stressful situation is brewing here at work so I thought I would catch up and say hi before the day gets too crazy.

Perhaps when Cillaliz is in town, we can have a discussion about how she is able to separate herself from the stress of her cases. Some days I'm good at that, other days just so so. I woke up with a jolt of anxiety this morning thinking about a case.

DR Tpunk, do you meditate? Does anyone here meditate?

TPunk · « **Reply #68 on:** February 28, 2007, 06:50:19 AM »

On a positive note, I had the BEST time at work last night. A group called Road Recovery comes in to work with the kids for 3 months to prepare a musical performance. The kids choose which group they want to be a part of: singing, percussion, or dance, then rehearse different aspects of the performance. There will be a show in May. They've encouraged staff to take part so I joined the singing group. I had a blast, it was great to see the kids so enthusiastic and passionate. So I guess in the end it all balances out.

I've never been able to shut off the screaming voices inside my head long enough to meditate.

Perhaps I should lower my caffeine intake.

Wednesday.

I think I will watch THE GODDESS on TCM, although I never thought Kim Stanley was pretty enough to be a movie star.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #74 on:** February 28, 2007, 07:12:04 AM »

My first question for ASK BK day:

Which movie biography of which person do you think most accurately reflects that person's life?

And which is the worst distortion of the reality?

I'm of the opinion, this morning, that Hiro's father did not
know his son had any ability until recently. Still, he made no
"move" to bring his son "in" the way he expects his employees
to bring in the other folks with special abilities.

Hiro, however, would not be easily "brought in" since he can will
himself to be somewhere else

I can't remember, did hiro's father see him use his ability on the last show he was on? If so what did he see?

That is such an interesting point about bringing hiro in. I wonder if maybe his father knew about his abilities all along and he was "adopted" the same way claire was.

Good morning, HHW!

Yes, I meditate and love it. There are different styles of meditation. I do mine lying down rather than sitting in a lotus position, and I use a meditation tape. I find it very relaxing. On days when I'm really stressed I don't get as deeply relaxed, and hence, it's not as good a meditation, but I'm still better off for it.

Wednesday morning greetings! I popped in earlier to say HI to DT(Dear Traveller) Cillaliz, but this is my official log-in for the day.

Question for BK: As I've listened to the BRAIN, I've wondered if the script is place-bound to the San Fernando Valley, or would you rewrite the geographical references to fit different locations?

Revealing that Hiro's father is part of "the company" does kind of confuse things. If Hiro was known to be different and was adopted like Claire, there is no way that his father would have let him leave Japan in the first place, let alone allow him to continue with his quest. And if his father didn't know about him, well that's a bit of an amazing coincidence. But then, that's the stuff of drama.

!!!!! SUPER SPOILER !!!!!

Some sharp-eyed people on a message board I read have noticed that in HRG's flashback, the young Haitian was wearing an amulet around his neck that is the same symbol as Jessica's tattoo. Not only that, but the same symbol appears on Hiro's sword. What do you think of that?

How could they just lose a measure??

Usually, when I lose a measure, it's one of the plastic ones for measuring solids, and it shows up later with doggy teeth marks on it.
