I stood up for too many hours last night and I am paying for it this morning. If I had a cigar I could currently do a great Groucho Marx. I already tried out both my "Say the secret word." and my "This morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas."

Neither of the cats were amused.

I never was a fan of Pac Man, but Frogger - I used to play Frogger at the Playboy Mansion. Get your minds out of the gutter. Hef had a game room (this was in 1982) that had all the latest stuff, and I would just monopolize the Frogger game.

I am currently listening to the OCR of STEEL PIER.

I am again reminded how Good this Kander-Ebb Score Is

I am still kicking myself for missing the preview of STEEL PIER and going to JEKYLL AND HYDE instead.

I think I've learned to never announce on a Friday - while orders are coming in steadily, it's not like it would have been if it were a Monday or Tuesday. In fact, I think we'd be sold out had I announced on a Monday or Tuesday. The reason I didn't is because another label is announcing two titles on Monday - and it just gets to be too much for people - every single week there's two or three of these limited edition CDs coming out, and, as you know, the economy is not so hot, which is one of the reasons I lowered the price on the CD. Still, in less than twenty-four hours we have less than 300 left, so that's not bad. And I suspect that a lot of people are simply buying through the online stores - they're more comfortable doing that, even though if they really wanted to be supportive to the label doing these things, they'd order directly from us. But sometimes they're buying other titles and they save on the shipping, so whatever works is fine by me.

So... Are you saying you would have been sold out by Tuesday if you had announced on a Monday? Or are you saying that you would have been sold out by now - by Saturday morning - had you announced on this past Monday? 24 hours is 24 hours, and, right now, it looks like you've had a very good 24 hours.

As for the Topic of the Day...

I was a "Frogger" fan too. I also liked "Dig Dug" too. I did play "Space Invaders", but I preferred the spinoff, "Galaga".

As for "Donkey Kong", I could never get past the first stage. And still can't (on Nintendo, PSP, etc.).

Good Afternoon!

Well, I'm packed. Almost. While I was packing, I realized I didn't have enough clean socks for the week, so I went ahead and started a load of whites, and those should be try - and ready to pack - in about 45 minutes. I've already cleaned the kitchen, and done some tidying up in my room. I still have to organize my desk, but that shouldn't take too long thanks to the wonder of shoe-boxes and an empty file drawer.

Hmm... I just checked the forecast for next week in Richmond, and it looks like they'll be having a bit of an Indian Summer - temps in the upper 70s and lower 80s. -Guess I need to edit some of the clothes I've packed.

Fascinating 3-minute naughty bit of a TV show clip from the 1970's called RAINBOW, Not Suitable for Work for its suggestiveness though nothing "adult" visually. Have we seen this here before?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApiPS6GAy_0&feature=rec-fresh

Is it mere coincidence that this clip's URL has GAY in the middle?

I have a very busy day. I've already gotten three reviews written and uploaded, and I am now madly copying my CD sampler of Theater Music I've written through the years to (hopefully) save this evening at my Rave in the Nave Concert featuring my latin quartet Samba Soleil. Since Susannah Mars brought the house down last month at Rave in the Nave, and my Theater Music sampler features several extremely rare recordings of her performing my music, I have my fingers crossed.

JMK · « **Reply #78 on:** October 11, 2008, 10:39:11 AM »

In fact, if memory serves, I believe I recorded some of this Theater Music especially for BK years and years ago.

Listening to this CD after so many years, it reminded me of a big laugh we had when BK was up here, which he probably doesn't remember. One of the tunes sung by Susannah on this CD has the line "As if on a dare, you forged what you became," and as I was playing it for BK and the Bacharach cast, it occurred to me it could be heard as "As if on Adair, you forged what you became." Adair and I thought it was incredibly funny. BK and that other Bruce stared in confusion and bewilderment.

Jose, I'm saying had I announced on Monday it would have been sold out in twenty-four hours. But, make no mistake - I'm very happy with my orders so far, even if the bulk of them are dealers - I'm now down to about 250 copies, which is fab.

Having my EmergenC in hot water - so much better, especially sucking on a Ricola whilst drinking it. I really didn't know if I was going to have any voice, but I'm thinking I might be able to squeak (and I do mean squeak) through.

The long jog was easy today, save for the wind and it was a teeny bit chilly out when I started (got better as I went along) - also, I was really brisk today, probably the fastest I've done it.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #86 on:** October 11, 2008, 11:16:00 AM »

Good afternoon!

Hope you feel better today, bk!

I used to work in a health food store that sold Emergen-C and it never occurred to me that it was pronounced "Emergency" until just a few years ago. In my head it was always pronounced: é-mer-gen see---two words---if that makes any sense, with no emphasis on the "mer".

Duh....

Edisaurus · « **Reply #87 on:** October 11, 2008, 11:17:13 AM »

DR Jose, I was reading your posts on my ipod touch last night and thinking it was messed up because I was reading your posts but seeing JRand's avatar. Finally I read enough to get the joke, and it made me LOL!

Edisaurus · « **Reply #88 on:** October 11, 2008, 11:18:21 AM »

DR George, you may be glad to know that the Mercer people are considering getting Manhattan Transfer to do some original recordings of Mercer songs.

The Ursual LeGuin event sounds great. I like her books very much; I'm glad to hear that she's a nice person, too!
