Well, you've read the notes, the notes' point was taken, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're point was taken, too, and they're trying to find it.

Good morning, all!  I've been up since 6am, pondering Appalachian charts, and that will occupy most of my day. I have very little else to report at this time, so I'll get to work.

The allergens seem to be heavy, heavy, heavy this morning.

But we've had enough rain recently to have me arrange for the lawn to be cut. I hope I've left for work before he gets here.

TOD:

My favourite Ray Harryhausen film? No doubt about it - The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. I saw the film when it was first released when I was 12 years old. I entreated my father to take me and he enjoyed it as much as me. The special effects seemed amazing and I recall that after seeing it we speculated on how they were done. We both knew about superimposition (my father made 9.5mm films) but couldn’t figure how it was possible to see the live action through the bones of the skeleton. I still think it’s the best of Harryhausen’s films – everything came together; effects, story, acting (Kerwin Matthews was perfect as Sinbad) and music.

Thursday morning greetings!  We crashed last night about 7:30, so of course I woke up after a refreshing 9-hour sleep at 4:30am.  Richard followed about 5, and we had a nice oatmeal breakfast then cleaned out our practically-empty refrigerator.  That's a huge job that we hadn't done since Hurricane Ike roared through here 3 years ago, so it was time.  Now I can go grocery shopping without a list, because we need everything!

I was awakened at 5:36 a.m. by a 3.6 earthquake.

Sigh.

I'm hoping these light-to-moderate quakes indicate that stress is being relieved in the Hayward fault...possibly alleviating the possibility of a major quake.

But....I have no idea if things work that way.

Returning to work this morning.

Pain is under control (i.e. being averted).

Right side of my face is puffed considerably. I was told that this would happen and that yesterday and today would be the worst of it.

Sigh.

DR JoseSPiano:  You asked me what "kind" of implants I'd be getting.  I don't know how to answer that.  I have the back molar on the upper right side.  The replacement/implanted teeth will be implanted in the area on the left of that upper molar.   One of them was crowned by a previous dental establishment.  Within six months of that crowning, an abscess occurred.  It was so painful I insisted it be pulled.  It was the last time I went to that dental establishment.  That was the tooth next to the back molar.   A year or so back, the tooth next to that "gap" broke at the root. 

It's hell getting older.

Sigh.

DR Jane, I won't know my place for CATCH ME until the book comes out :(

Reading your post for some reason reminded me a question my mom asked me yesterday. She asked if i could remember the name of an author that her and I both read. That might have been a mystery. And that the same character was in all the books.

I asked her if she had anything more to go on than that. But she didn't. :)

Seventh Voyage of Sinbad
Earth VS. the Flying Saucers

I like Mysterious Island - Michael Callan!  But Joan Greenwood (who is so funny in The Importance of Being Earnest) is such a pill in her role, that I can't watch it.  And it's not just the part!

TOD:  My favourite Ray Harryhausens:

THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD...largely because of the delicious Caroline Munro and Miklos Rozsa's rousing score.
JASON & THE ARGONAUTS...largely because of the brilliant Nigel Green and Bernard Herrmann's rousing score.
7th VOYAGE OF SINBAD...largely because it was the first one I ever saw and Bernard Herrmann's music again.

I finally got to watch THE CREATURE WASN'T NICE (aka: NAKED SPACE) the other day.

BK gifted me with a DVD when we were in Chicago together earlier this month.

Despite BK's reservations, this is a very funny movie.  My wife and I were laughing all the way through it.

If you've never had a chance to see it, try to get a copy.  It's a shame that the film has not had better circulation.
