Had a nice lunch at Hugo's - pasta papa and a small Caesar salad.

Just had a twenty minute telephonic conversation with my mastering engineer about our upcoming triple bill. Meanwhile, today I got the first pass at the cast album master and I'll be listening to that later today.

I'm quite full from pasta papa. I think I'll sit on my couch like so much fish. I've also been enjoying the opera elmore recommended to me the other day.

I'm sure most of you have heard of the 70th Anniversary release of Wizard of Oz. There is a one-night showing of the restored film at 400 theatres around the country on September 23 at 7pm. We have known about it for a while but tonight Anthony thought he might want to see it. We found the list of theatres and there is not one in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens or Staten Island. There are 4 on Long Island and 2 or 3 in the Bronx but to our suprise every single theatre is sold out and has been sold out since the event was announced over two weeks ago! We are very surprised. I never thought that every single theatre on Long Island and in the Bronx would be full. Oh, well. Anthony won't be seeing the movie. I couldn't go anyway because I'm seeing Wishful Drinking that night.

Ron Raines' character died today on THE GUIDING LIGHT. It was a very moving episode. I had known it was coming from something his wife mentioned on Sunday, but it was still sad. Even knowing that Ron isn't the character, I still find it difficult watchng friends die in roles.

I can imagine.

I wish him much happiness & rewarding roles now this portion of his life is behind him.

So, DR George - Dan Brown's book is released today. Presumably your library branch [or system] purchased multiple copies. Just curious on the turnaround time. When might the first people on the waiting list be able to check out a copy and start reading?

DAW · « **Reply #158 on:** September 15, 2009, 05:04:57 PM »

DR Ben - re: The Wizard of Oz... I, too, am surprised!

Here's what one of my library colleagues in northern Ohio posted on Facebook this morning: "7-day copies of The Lost Symbol were still here 20 minutes after opening. *yawn*"

Just wanted to say have a good week everyone.

Lots of hugs and vibes.

I'm sick. I'm cranky when I'm sick.

I'm going into hibernation till the weekend.

T.O.D.

Growing up with an older sister, I can't be sure what rock-n-roll song was the first, but Elvis singing DON'T BE CRUEL and LOVE ME TENDER on Ed Sullivan had to be failry early in my musical memories.

I bought a lot of OBC recordings, but probably the first "rock album" I bought (and it was pretty white bread) was probably THIS DIAMOND RING by Gary Lewis and the Playboys.

Just watched a very good episode of Mad Men - The Hobo something or other. Peggy was featured heavily, and we like her, plus Bryan Batt got a real chance to shine in this episode with a very good scene - lots of subtext and he did a great job.

Welcome back to New York DR JOSE.

Your new native American name is Beer on the Seat.

Although, I think the more accurate name would be: He Who's Seat Smells Like Beer.

And how many ~~men~~ people would know that?

Dear Bruce: Dr. Chew ASSAULTED you! There is no excuse for a dentist to give anyone pain. You were obviously experiencing him drilling into a nerve or nerve cluster. Had you had no novocaine, you'd likely have been on the ceiling, but the bottom line is this: Dr. Chew needed to find an alternative way of alleviating your pain. Many dentists are loath to exceed a certain dosage of whatever anesthetic they use, and there's likely a valid medical reason for that.

I, however, am a person for whom all shots do NOT work. Nine times out of ten, the dentist numbs me up perfectly. But it's that tenth time when no matter how many shots I get, the tooth needing attention doesn't seem to be affected. My entire face can be numb...you could yank out every other tooth in my mouth...you could pierce my tongue....and I'd feel nothing, nada, zip. But touch the drill to the tooth in question and I need to be strapped to the chair to keep me from levitating out of it with brute force.

NEXT TIME: Make it so clear that he cannot possibly misunderstand -- He is not to give you pain. The first sign of pain is instant cessation of drilling and he must find a way to anesthetize the tooth.

I fully understood every comment you made regarding your experience. It is agonizing pain and anyone who has ever experienced it felt it when you described it.

Bravo, Ron!

It is because of dentists like Dr. Chew that I have to have nitrous to even sit in a dentist's chair, and my sister has to be completely put to sleep for any dental procedure.

In defense of Dr. Chew, he's one of the best dentists in Los Angeles and I've rarely had any problems - I think he did not understand what I was saying - he thought it had to do with my gums - I could barely speak there was so much cotton in my mouth - I should have asked him to stop. But when he saw that I was wincing he immediately shot the Novocain in the problem area.

We got our actual regular print books (35 copies, 449 holds!), large print books (7 copies) and talking books on CD (6 copies) late last week. They were processed and ready to go out by today. HOWEVER, last Friday, the holds lists for the LP and the TB formats were merged into one list!

BIG MISTAKE!! There is no way to tell which format originally had which names.

They decided to print out the entire list of about 150 or so people and they sent e-mails to everyone who had an e-mail address and called anyone who didn't (I think that there were only 10 or so people who didn't) and explained what happened and asked which format did they want.

As of today, about 80% of them have responded. Some people have said that they went ahead and bought their own copy and didn't need either, and a few said that they wanted both the LP and TB. And I think that they're holding all the LP copies and TB copies until everyone has responded...who knows how long that'll take.

My dentist told me to raise my hand if I had any pain. And he and the assistant asked if I was doing ok every now and again throughout.

George · « **Reply #169 on:** September 15, 2009, 06:08:09 PM »

Today, I was given orders for 10 more copies each of the regular print and large print formats and 6 more copies of the talking book on CD.

DAW · « **Reply #170 on:** September 15, 2009, 06:08:52 PM »

Thanks for the info and responses, DRs Ginny and George. I was just curious.

I have a new roof across the back of my house! The roofers were done right around 2:10, so I am thrilled beyond belief to have one part of my home renovation completed. I'll have to wait until next month to do anything else. Not a dime to my name for the rest of this month, I'm afraid. (Well, thankfully, some stock dividends pay out this month, and that's my spending money).

They did a wonderful job, and were really hard workers. They didn't even stop for lunch. Worked right through from 9:20 until 2.

Not one word on whether either one was cute?

Greetings from Union Square West where...

-You could pick up a sweet treat from Doug and Brian at The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck. -The elderflower syrup is quite deelish.

-You can preview "The New Ann" in a pop-up shop on the Square. -Which is manned by some attractive women and men.

What is "The New Ann?" And what happened to the old one?

Wow! That Dan Brown is famous. I had no idea that they ever released books on LP in this day and age.
