T.O.D.

The three I remember from my childhood are:

Davey Crockett "coonskin" cap

The Hula Hoop

The Yoyo - I am surprised no one else mentioned this one

I had all three of those when I was a kid also, but by then they weren't fads anymore. I'm just sayin'.

I met with my new diabetes doctor, Dr. Radakrishnan.

She is very nice. But she is only about 12 years old and she doesn't like Bollywood movies.

She doesn't like musicals for one, and she thinks Bollywood films are too escapism-ish. She prefers more serious fare.

TOD:

 I always marched to a different drummer and created my own fads!  I am still that way---- although to a lesser extent!


That being said, I did have a pair of knee-high suede fringed moccasin boots just like Peter Tork had!  Unfortunately, there is a picture to prove it.

Yes, but the picture was taken last Sunday at church.

I never thought of the Yoyo has a fad.  Children still play with them.  They still use Hula Hoops (we have one in the garage), just not like at the height of the fad.

I had all of the above. :)

The good news is I am DONE with radiation treatments and the Chemo is
DONE!!

Hopefully I will begin recovering from the side effects shortly.

The very, very good news that they believe they have successfully treated the cancer and I will be OK moving forward.  Of course we will be having
continuing checkups and tests but all the doctors are very optomistic

THIS IS WONDERFUL NEWS!! ;D

Rubik's Cube - my boyfriend at the time figured out how to do it in less than 2 minutes and he taught me.  (I have since forgotten the formula)

There was a nasty manager at work (when I worked at UPS inthe 70's) who was very outspoken about the fact that he felt "girls" (like me) were being promoted to supervisors
because of our gender.  He made it quite clear that girls (like me) didn't have the intelligence to do the job.

He called me to his desk one day where he had his Rubiks Cube sitting - I casuallu asked if he would mind if I fiddled with it while he reviewed the repots I brought to him -

He said something along the lines of "I suppose you can't break it". 

So I asked "So, the goal is to have each side a single color?"

He rolled his eyes and said "Yes, of course"

So in about a minute and a half I handed it back to him all solved and said 'Like this?"


He stopped giving me a hard time     



Great story! :)

Danise is having her house totally redone. She is staying with Thelma while it is torn apart.

And Sheena is in a kennel keeping warm.  The contractor seems like a good guy.  That is the best I can say until we hear the final report from Danise.

Hi, everyone.

I have had, I believe, a case of food poisoning.  I am still very woozy today, but doing a bit better.  Thanks for your good wishes and concern.

I can't say i totally loved last night's show. It was weird having no jack or kate. I miss sun and jin together. I hope they show him again (if he is still on the show). It's weird with so few people on the island. I am loving desmond and penny and little desmond. That was interesting to find out. I guess the surprise of the show was meeting young charles widmore. I was not expecting that at all. I'm not sure i like the flashes. It makes you realize that no matter what danger they are all in that they will be fine during the next flash. I think if the oceanic 6 get back to the island it might get more interesting. Although what will happen to locke's body?Btw did most people assume little desmond was named after charles widmore and not dead charlie? For some reason i forgot about dead charlie!

The Fat Conductor of Limitless Ego and Limited Talent had a penchant for hitting on handsome young actors who claimed to be straight to avoid his Teutonic arrogance and Russian fingers. They've all come out since then. I wonder if DR MBarnum's doctor isn't playing the same game with Bollywood?

I have a conundrum and it requires me revealing the new Kritzerland release (replacing Lady Oscar) - I need opinions.

For those who have Laurette, you know I love incidental music from plays and our next release (not for publication) are two incidental scores from plays, including what is considered to be the most classic 20th century play.  That music is composed by a major film composer who also did the film version of the play.  The second score is by one of my personal favorite composers (composed one of the best scores of the 1960s) to a play based on a famous foreign story and then classic film.  Now, the music from the classic play had to be mastered from acetates, which is all that was available (at least that I could locate - who knows what might turn up some day, although I would doubt a tape source would ever turn up, unless it was just acetates put on tape).  The acetates, which appeared to be in okay shape, were just very very noisy, had a little groove distortion, etc.  The mastering guy did a really good job cleaning it up, but, after listening to it last night, it's still sounds a little dicey to me.  So the question becomes does history outweigh sound issues?  The intention was at make this a 15.98 release like Laurette and the first Herrmann, both of which came from acetate or vinyl sources. 

The problem with this one is that, unlike Laurette, there are only five or six instruments, so it's easier to hear the problems.  But the music is wonderful - the second score is in stereo and will sound fine.  And the CD will run over sixty minutes.  Please let me know what you think.

BK, if these are titles that you really want to release, then I say go for it!  You've established in liner notes from previous CDs that part of the reason you're releasing these is for historical purposes.  You've also specified that they weren't recorded under the most pristine conditions, so people who buy them won't expect that.  You've had great success with these releases, so I think people are more interested in just having the music rather than preferring that the audio quality of the recordings is absolutely perfect.

Just my 2˘. :)

Back from the lunch meeting at the French Marketplace, a very GAY and happy restaurant.  I received many looks of admiration from the clientele.  I had a BLTA, a tiny salad, and some excellent rice pudding for dessert.
