I, FOR ONE

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were one for all and all for one, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently reading all the Harry Potter books over again, so there's no telling WHEN they'll be home.

Good morning, all! Yes, indeedy, it's too freakin' hot! I have to go to Toyland this morning for another round with the scanner. Hopefully, the 2nd Entr'Acte will be waiting for me, so I'm taking the original score for that with me so I can edit it there in the A/C.

Last night's dream, which I cannot remember well, featured as its hero our DR FJL, who risked his life to ensure that a power failure provoked by the villains in the dream did not prevent a happy occurrence from happening. I neither remember what the happy event was, nor why the villans wanted to prevent its happening, but I do remember DR FJL and finding reasons to get the owner,manager of a huge hardware store out of the way so we could investigate methods of getting to the power cables, and I remember DR FJL hangign upside down from a fire escape trying to repair things. Who knew, Fred?

So, I will shortly head downtown, where I will hopefully not be too long today. Following that, I'll return here and bask in my poverty, a situation that currently has me feeling unhappy and angry at the world. I told Ron Raines last night that it was the frustration and rage that were taking up too much of my diminishing mental capacities and depressing me. I'll try working out some of that stress by working on my personal projects. God knows I'm not getting any professional projects.

BlueGobo now has a clip posted of the bell ringers from "La Plume de Ma Tante." I'd always wanted to see what the big fuss was about this number and am glad it was filmed. It's charming. No fuss, just simple charm.

Friday morning greetings!  It's already too hot here in SW Ohio and it's supposed to get near 100o again today.  I have to go see Tina for a haircut, but will come right home and stay in the AC.

In honor of Arnold M. Brockman, I listened to Patrick Williams' fantastic THRESHOLD this morning.  Still think "Side 2" is better than "Side 1" after all of these years.  Pat came out to SLC for some reason when I was in high school and played a concert culled from THRESHOLD which changed my life.  I believe it was held in the auditorium of Cottonwood High, which IIRC is the alma mater of BK's close personal acquaintance Klea Blackhurst.

Last night I watched the extremely disturbing film DESERT FLOWER in preparation for writing a review today.  It's based on the autobiography of supermodel Waris Dirie, and it is a very unsettling look at a very barbaric practice that still is in effect in Africa.

TOD:

Nothing new to watch this weekend, so I'll probably pull something out of the ol' DVD library.

Actually, I've been watching some pretty good movies from my library this past week, several of which I haven't seen in a decade or more:

QUIZ SHOW
PRIZZI'S HONOR
NIGHT FALLS ON MANHATTAN
LITTLE BIG MAN
STIR OF ECHOES

Last night, I watched THE READER.

All good stuff.

I believe Michele Bachmann's husband has reparative therapy for those. . .oh, wait, never mind.

Hope you feel better soon.

This weeks episode of HAPPILY DIVORCED and a couple of WAGON TRAIN episodes.

A CD of Turkish pop singer Mahsun Kirmizigul. I am not sure if I like the CD that much, but I do know that I am enjoying looking at his picture on the CD cover.

It's been 2.5 hours of hell. I got here at 9am to find my co-worker Marnie, who's doing the printing, in a dither because the power was cutting out every 30-50 seconds and she could not accomplish anything. We spent several hours moving furniture because the super had told me the problem was that everything was plugged into one system of cables to the power. So, I'm now on a computer plugged into a different wiring system, and we've moved the modem to another one. This is absolutely ridiculous and horribly frustrating.

DR Jane, even though it's funny that the library has not lost any of my reservations since i started photocopying my slips it has to be a coincidence.

Not that i want them to lose my slips but i did think it might be fun to show that "nice" lady my photocopy as she was calling me a liar again.

DR JRand you should get some meds (like fiorinol) from your doctor. That way as soon as you feel a migraine coming on you can take it.

Feel better. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
