I FEEL THE EARTH MOVE UNDER MY FEET

Well, you've read the notes, the notes moved under your feet, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently listening to the news reports and shaking their collective cow heads in disbelief.

Given the title of the day's notes, I wonder what are the DR's favourite songs written by Carole King.

My own favourites are "Going Back" and "Hard Rock Cafe".

Opposite of word of the day would be almost any song written by the Bee Gees.  "Words" is a good example!

In Arnold's absence, in honor of the word of the day - SESQUIPEDALIAN - I'm sure Arnold would have picked Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke and company singing the great Sherman Brothers' song about "the biggest word you ever heard":

Here are some little kids doing a cute dance routine to the song.

On the subject of earthquakes:

I've withstood a couple of very memorable quakes, including the deadly Northridge one back in 1993 (?).  That one damaged my condo so badly that I had to move out for almost 3 months while they repaired it.  

Thank God for earthquake insurance.

The other quake that sticks in my memory was the deadly Seattle quake of 1948.  I'll never forget that one.

I was 7-years old, home from school because I was ill.  I was sitting on our living room couch, reading a Tom Mix comic book, when the house started to shake...BIG TIME.  In fact, when it was over, our neighbor's chiminey was in our front yard.

Hopefully, I'll have moved to Texas by the time the "big one" hits California.

 :)

Well, after dinner last night, we both crashed at about 6:30 p.m. and did not move or wake up till 6:00 a.m. this morning!  Lord, I haven't slept like that in ages.  I guess we was tired! :)

I'm trying to remember all the questions from the previous day to answer.  Jet Blue honestly did not try very hard to help us.  The gal that we got to was very bland and did her very least to do anything.  We did pay a pretty high amount for our airfare, it was definitely NOT cheap.  On the way to New York, it went pretty well actually.  We did have our own little TV for viewing purposes.  

We even asked about flying to California or Seattle and getting a connecting flight from there.  They said they "didn't have relationships with other airlines so could not check with them for us."  We would have to check that on our own.  We finally just got a refund and went to United and they were VERY helpful and felt truly bad for us and went overboard to help us out.

I am afraid, dear friend JMK, I did not get the Levain cookies.  I will await your wrath when I see you in the fall. :)  Since I had a bum ankle it was hard to get around, and by the time I remembered, it was the last day (the first time we left) that we were suppose to fly out.  I asked the concierge how far it was from the hotel and it was like 1.6 miles and I knew I couldn't walk it and sis was out all day while I was trying to recup with ankle at hotel.  They didn't deliver either to hotel.  I did get a phone number in my purse somewhere where you can have them mail ordered.  I'm really sorry.  I really wanted to get there myself.  

The 2 day lay over we had we weren't anywhere close to Levain's at all.

Almost seeming to sound like Jet Blue is really really great when things go smoothly, but various reports seem to suggest that if there's a weather situation or some other abnormality they're less reliable than some other airlines.  (Of course, i did have a snafu with my otherwise beloved Continental in late 2006, so who knows?)

Wednesday morning greetings!  Another work day - they're getting easier and easier, but I'm still pretty tired when I get home in the evenings.  On my way home tonight, I have to stop at Lowe's to get a bamboo plant for the Olympics book display.

Good morning, all! I've been sleepong very poorly because of the neurological problems in my right shoulder so I took a Tylenol PM. I slept for about seven hours straight and then dozed off again from around 6 to 9 am. I slept a lot but I'm a bit groggy for the nonce.

Today, now that I'm finished with the 42nd Street Library, I'm back to Lincoln Center and the Theatre Collection, which I much prefer.

Good morning!

Another warm, muggy morning and highs today getting to 92. I know we'll be in August in a couple of days (no way!), but this kind of warm mugginess will likely continue for a couple of months unless we get an early fall.

Today I'll be working on an MTV made-for-cable movie called AMERICAN MALL. I sounds like a HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL kind of show, so it should be pleasant if it's competent at all. There are a good many bonuses on the disc, so they will also take some time to get through.

The movie premieres on MTV on August 11th, and the DVD will be available the next day.

And, of course, I'll be continuing to watch THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH when I go down to cook lunch. It's long, so I may not get all the way through it before I have to start up AMERICAN MALL.

Apropos of today's subject, I offer "All Shook Up"!    ;D

You should let Jet Blue "know about your experience".  Write the corporate headquarters.

Who knows...you might get a comp ticket out of it!
