NYT on the Ouster of the three Iowa Justices

[Ginny]

Speaking of teeny tiny print, has anyone been on Facebook lately?

[John G.]

Loved the kitties video.

Didn't get that new font, either.

[John G.]

So, I may have to get the London version of the second volume of Sondheim's lyrics. Can't afford two at the moment.

Speaking of teeny tiny print, has anyone been on Facebook lately?

Yes, and you're not the only one to mention it.  I just go to the bottom right of my screen and increase the zoom from 100 to 125%.  I can read it just fine then

[Ginny]

Yeah, DR Cillaliz, I use the print zoom feature on Safari, but it annoys me to have to do that.

[Ginny]

Another early wake-up call for me tomorrow - I'm having coffee with my friend Becky. Haven't seen her for more than an year and a half, so - 'night!

I've been reading comments about the new Sondheim book, most favorable except for one thing - the thing I pointed out instantly - the teeny-tiny type and the sort of grayish font color.  I find it a chore to read and it makes my eyes VERY tired. 

But I found out there's a UK edition of the book - different and, in my opinion, better cover, and apparently the font color is black and much easier to read, and supposedly it's on better paper.  I've ordered a copy.

Yes, the UK cover is much better:

I ordered "Finishing the Hat" and "Evening Primrose" on Monday.  I don't know why I waited so long...but I did.  Anyway, they should get here by Friday.

[George]

And now, to home.

Until later.

If you click on "home" at the top all the postings have smaller typeset now.

Facebook's smaller font size straining eyes

The face was that I had noticed, wondered why while unhappy about it.

[Jane]

Craig has declined my offer.  The thought of flying at the moment doesn't appeal to me so I am a bit relieved.  Either my broken glasses are making me slightly ill or I'm beginning to suffer side effects from the meds.  I hope it is due to the glasses.

[Jane]

I forgot to mention Craig has friends to help him with the moving & loading part of the trip.  At night he will have to take his stuff from the car, along with the pets, and move them into the hotel room.  Moving with a cat can be more of a pain than the dog.  The dog likes the car and traveling while the cat hates it. 

[John G.]

Couldn't make it through "Straw Dogs." The violence was beginning to affect me. So, it's time for a Charlie Chan movie called "Dangerous Money." I hope it's mindless.

I had a mild sedative for my cat when I moved from Arizona.  It worked well. He slept all day and at night he ran around the motel room and was fine

Opticals: Any footage that involves duping original footage, i.e. dissolves, fades, main titles, special effects.  Once you dupe original footage you are then generations away and introducing new grain on top of what was already there - depending on the competency of those doing the opticals and the stock used, they can look okay (at best), or really bad.

Much better said than I could in my exhausted state!

[Edisaurus]

Thanks for all the travel vibes which worked splendidly! We got in and dropped our stuff @ 2, then taxi to the Empire State Building, another to Rockefeller Center and then walked to John's Pizzeria and then over to Pee Wee. I'm trying not to make mom walk too much, she thought she would be up for it but she really isn't, so I think the Gray Line tour will actually be a good thing, and cheaper than the cabs!

[Edisaurus]

Pee Wee was GREAT but the theatre was FREEZING! It must have been 50 degrees in there, seriously. It was like the A/C was blowing on high the entire time; everyone complained about it!

I almost brought warmer clothes, but when I do, then I never use them. I wish I had at least brought one warm sweater. Oh well, I've got friends to keep me warm!

[Edisaurus]

Great! Now that I know what "DNR" and "opticals" are, I, too, can become an online DVD reviewer!

In my world, DNR=Department of Natural Resources. I've done many nature films for them!

How did Little Ricky get his name? Did he come pre-named?

His name at the shelter was Bailey.  I was in the habit of saying "Hey Ricky!" to the cats.  I have no idea where I got it...I actually think it was "Hey Ricky you're so fine..." that started it.  So it was only natural to call him Ricky.  The Little just seemed right.

When I adopted Bailey, his shelter name was Baxter. Baxter the kitty had a brother named Bailey. Since Greg also had family members near there named Bailey, we adopted his brother's name. (Who probably changed Bailey's name to something else, too!) We have a friend named Baxter, so we thought it would be less confusing. And Bailey seems to fit him perfectly, somehow!

When I moved from Middletown, Ohio, to upstate New York, I got a kitty sedative for Benjamin Stone. It didn't work. He crawled out of his box and decided the best place for him in the rental truck was under the clutch. I drove through the night on a one-lane highway through Pennsylvania. The other lane had been removed. It rained and visibility was next to nothing. And the cat kept getting mad whenever I had to shift gears.

Sounds great. And more vibes for the showing.

[Edisaurus]

Thanks, Cilla and John! Wish you could be here, too! (Well, not here here...there's only room for one to sleep on this little couch!)
