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

BK - I hope your neighbor who wears his baboonism blatantly does not "take you out" for your birthday.

It's not a neighbor and he has no idea where I live - he's about three blocks away.

BK, re: the speed limit you posted (i think it was 35m/hr). That seems awfully high for a residential street. The speed limits here are 30m or 50km/hr ON THE SERVICE ROAD OF THE HIGHWAY and on big huge main streets with no houses.

Obviously if you were going 20m/hour that is your right (since you were way under the speed limit). But i can't imagine how i'd feel if cars were driving at 35 where kids live.

Although since there were no kids, your neighbor was crazy. The speed limits here where there are houses is like 30KM/hr which is way less than 30m/hr. I wonder why they don't just try to get the speed limits adjusted?

Or is it a normal speed limit in LA (35?)?

Btw, i wrote this post based on yesterday's post (not the notes). The notes made it sound much funnier (well to the reader, not to you).

Tonight is the season finale of THE AMAZING RACE.

I was amazed to read on the televisionwithoutpity board that many many people seem to want the 3rd place team to win! I get that one of the teammates seems to be everybody's favorite. But man, this team sucks!

Good morning, all! Today is an angst-filled day at 202 West 82. I have a lot to do and time slips away roo quickly. I'm also feeling the effects of a pinched pocket this morning and I am not happy over my poverty. I did send my brothers an inquiry over the state of my dad's property since I doubt either of them is doing a thing to sell it and I know that the Macbeths are doing nothing to maintain it. They are both resistant to listing the property with a realtor and my last sentence to them was "I'd rather pay 10% for something than have 100% of nothing," since i really have no idea what a current real estate commission percentage is. I am also sending all correspondence on the property to my estate executors since i am convinced the property will never sell within the rest of my lifetime and I don't want my heirs being shorted by the Macbeths.

I may run down to the matinee of FINIAN'S RAINBOW today and watch my friend David Gursky conduct the show, but first I have things to do here, like vacuum, work on some orchestra parts, type up some notes on Moross' music for THE SHARKFIGHTERS, and deal with some more BABES IN TOYLAND angst.

DR vixmom, I'm sorry for all the crap you've been going through; I hope you will take some time for yourself between your health, work, car, and family obligations. I admire your maintaining your sens of humor amongst all the tsuris and I send love and best wishes for the results of your PET scan.

BK, I loved the last sentence of the notes. Enjoy the Hoover book.

In reference to my first paragraph, folks, please keep them real estate vibes coming! I'd rather have that money drawing interest for me than spend the rest of my life paying out taxes on property I will never need. Thanks!

And BK at least that guy was not in his car! People driving can be even nuttier. Yesterday I was driving and I had my 2 nieces in the car. I was coming out of a parking lot and had the right to turn right.

I was going to be turning on a busy street and there were 4 lanes of traffic going at 60km/hr. Anyhow the right lane i was going to turn into was free (although there was a bus stopped in that lane blocking my view). But the other lanes had cars racing. And a lot of them like to merge quickly into the right lane so they can turn at the next light.

Now if i had been driving alone i probably would have turned right away to the right. But it's not the safest thing. And with a 6 month old and a 4 year old i was waiting (there is a red light that would stop all the cars if you wait a minute).

Anyway the guy behind me (who also had kids in his car) was honking like a buffoon. And not just one honk. After about 10 seconds he decided to go around me (which was really unsafe).

I get that he was impatient. But would it really have killed him to wait 30 more seconds. I mean maybe he's never driven out of there before to know that cars swerve into the right lane. But still i'm sure he could see there was a baby in the car!

Re Ms Chenoweth's Lifetime movie, why is it in fiction whenever a well-paid professional woman gets dumped by her louse spouse, boyfriend, whatever, she ends up moving to Nowhere and finding true love and satisfactory employment rather than keeping the god job and friends in Manhattan or LA, Seattle, Boston, DC, New Orleans, wherever?

DR derBRUCER's post reminded me of yesterday's TOD....and a couple of performances to add:

Mssrs. Tim Curry & Barry Bostwick and Ms Susan Sarandon in THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW

and Mr Cliff DeYoung as Brad Majors AND Farley Flavors in SHOCK TREATMENT.

ANYHOW, ANYHOW - the finale of Shock Treatment. I love the song, the staging, the costumes, the camera.....

And Mr DeYoung's duet with himself earlier in the movie:

DR ELMORE is gone - TOYLAND.....DR ELMORE is involved in research for a book on Victor Herbert's BABES IN TOYLAND. I think it includes or may focus on a restoration of the score as well...

DR KevinH, Toyland is my name for the office of a project I've been on for eight years now. One of the projects has been a scholarly performance edition of the original 1903 extravaganza BABES IN TOYLAND.

Y.W.

Last night I watched the original DVD release of Judy Garland's A STAR IS BORN which I enjoyed very much, although the edition itself has some problems. But Judy Garland is amazing - James Mason's voice is so wonderful, it almost makes up for the face - and Jack Carson is also wonderful.

Sometimes I take it for granted that Judy Garland could do what she did....making it look fairly effortless....

Yes, it has become quite the cliché. As bad as the steely professioanl woman finds humanity in a small town scnario that Zellweger's NEW IN TOWN and Bullock's THE PROPOSAL share.
