Well, you've read the notes, the notes were Fridayish, and now it is time for you to post until the Friday cows come home.

One of our GUESTS was looking at an old 2004 thread entitled Quiz Kids.  I went back and read those notes and found this amazing quiz.  I repeat it here for your mental delectation, since we have many new folks since then.  Here's the thing - do it carefully - write down everything every step of the way (don't only do it in your head).  I think you'll like the quiz.

I feel it’s time we had a quiz here at haineshisway.com, don’t you, dear readers? So, here is a quiz. Pay very close attention to the questions asked, and answer them exactly and precisely, not necessarily in that order. It is best to attempt this quiz after flossing. All right, you quiz kids, to it.

Pick a number from one to ten. Write it down.

Multiply your chosen number by 9.

Multiply that total by 2.

Add all the numbers in that total together. (example: if your total is 84, you'd add the 8 and the 4 to get 12.)

Subtract that total by 5. You will now have your final total.

Assign a letter to your number that is your total from above. (example: if your total is 1, you'd assign it "a"; if your total is 5, you'd assign it "e", etc. In other words, 1=a, 2=b, 3=c, and so forth).

Now, think of a country that begins with your letter.

Now, using the second letter of your country, think of a mammal.

Wasn't that a fun quiz. Did you all come up with some interesting answers? And isn't it funny, did you have any idea that elephants were indigenous to Denmark?

If you did the quiz correctly you are now scratching your heads in amazement thinking, how did bk know that? If you did the quiz incorrectly, well, you are now scratching your head in amazement and thinking, what kind of quiz is that? Now, go out and amaze and stupefy your friends, you quiz kids.

I am thinking I had caffeineated Diet-Coke too late last night-- hence my being awake now.

TOD:  an Andre Previn Extravaganza==
Two for the Seesaw
Valley of the Dolls
Inside Daisy Clover (yes, I sprung for the newly re-issued 2 CD, and it is well worth it-- that has always been one of my favorite scores of his.)

I may listen to some Freddie Gardner and Matt Alber for a break from Previn's cellos, violas and French horns-- as ubiquitous as Mancini's flute trios but wonderful nonetheless (a three penny word)


I'll do the quiz later.

Good notes, and it was interesting to hear them again.  Tell Guy Haines to quit playing tennis or sitting around like so much fish and get back in thew studio.  I even have heard a song or two that Guy could sing.  Not to mention I  am sure that you and Guy have your own ideas of songs he could do.

Anthony will be returning today.

I also have a presentation at 11:30 for the Board of Directors so I'm sitting at my desk in a shirt and tie. Luckily, I don't have to wear a tie every day but these presentations are special so the school clothes come out.

I'm not listening to anything since I'm reviewing the presentation in my head as well as doing other work that must be done.

Good morning, all! I slept very badly last night: too much angst over the lack of an office manager to take care of office problems and the Institute's inertia in hiring one.

Today, the NYPL at Lincoln Center, and after that, God knows.

BK, re "Disneyland," you omitted the part about the manager of the studio's being a huge lady about 3 times my size and your accusation that she ate the power cable for lunch that day! My other memory of that day is the awful wait - weren't there electricians in at some point to slow things down? - and how frustrated everybody was.

DR singdaw, are you enjoying BITTER SWEET?

TOD:
   DVD: Several Netflix items, another Charles Dickens, may "Our Mutual Friend"
   CD: Guy Haines, Liz Callaway, Offenbach's Madame Favart and Le voyage dans la lune, DIE FLEDERMAUS
   VCR: cheap porn

I would recommend pants, too.

MEdia Check:

iPod:  it's unbelievable but true--I got the AN UNMARRIED WOMAN soundtrack!  YAY!  Finally! (It's coupled with the soundtrack of THE STUNT MAN, which I don't know from Adam...)

Tivo:  nothing in partic...

DVD:  Also nothing, though I might want to break out AN UNMARRIED WOMAN again after listening to the soundtrack.
