WHERE DID THIS YEAR GO?
« on: December 16, 2011, 12:47:01 AM »
Well, you've read the notes, the notes flew by like the year and the gazelle, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they were planning to come home this year, but the year, like the gazelle, flew by and now it won't be until 2012.

Topic of the Day:  in iTunes:  the new soundtrack to "The Muppets."  The MP3s are available from Amazon for only $4.99 (plus tax for Washington state).  It's $9.99 from iTunes and the physical CD probably doesn't have an extensive booklet (a digital booklet isn't available from either iTunes or Amazon), so I bought the MP3s. :)

I did manage to get a good hour's nap, and then I showered, dressed, packed up my MacBook, got the rest of my bags together, headed downstairs, and hailed a cab to Penn Station. It looks like they are expecting the train to fill up along the way, so I already have a seatmate. He's heading a little further South than me, so it will be nice to have the same person for the duration.

Soon to be back at work on the paper. The carpenter comes this morning to fix the door frame. (Hopefully it won't be too expensive.)

Great Filichia on Friday. I love the way he bothers to analyze why certain shows don't work and that he's not afraid to call people on what he sees to be a show's shortcomings. The comment on the "Chicago's Al Capone" lyric is spot on. The interesting thing is that this is not just another Frank Wildhorn failure. Others are to share the blame.

TOD: MP3: "A Broadway Christmas."

Maybe, if I get to the library, "A Bishop's Wife."

Tonight on Ovation - Matthew Bourne's NUTCRACKER which I have never seen.  The commercial interruptions are endless and come at strange places.....but I will stick with it as long as I can.

Now I am off to work.  Oh well.

Good morning, all! I slept later than usual, and all I can remember of my dreams is being stuck with my mother somewhere in the American west in an area I did not recognize and the futility of shipping back a defective package. I also had a very long dream about writing a recording script for ROBERTA.

This mornng, at 11, I see my barber for an overdue haircut. Since he's at Radio City, I will see the Christmas tree as well. Following that, I will go to the Lincoln Center NYPL and pick up my photocopies of "The Pipes of Pansy" before I head back home. Then, I have laundry - a lot of it since I'm doing all my bedding today - and maybe some work on italics and umlauts for the Herbert lieder.

I like Matthew Bourne's work quite a lot. I thought his SWAN LAKE was amazing.

Friday morning greetings!  We have 2 days of festivities ahead of us to celebrate dear niece/goddaughter Lauren's graduation from Miami University.  Today's the ceremony and tomorrow's the party.  This is the young woman whose father (Richard's older brother) died 2 years ago.  She had every reason to spin out of control, but she dug in and today follows in his footsteps (and her uncles' and her grandmother's) across the stage at Millett Hall.  I am so proud of her!

Here is Lauren wearing her 2011 MAC championship ring, which she earned as student athletic trainer for the football team.  The ring is as big as her head!

I've long been resisting going the iTunes route and purchasing non-hardcopy music but I see myself buckling and giving in.  Bebe Neuwirth has a new recording that I've been wanting to hear, but it's available only as digital on iTunes or Amazon.  I've been buying digital books for over three years--I might as well start buying music the same way...

That ring is kind of scary, DR Ginny!  It looks like an eye that is looking back at me!

But that is a very fetching picture of Lauren.

Good morning. I have nothing in particular planned for today. Maybe I should start to begin thinking about getting ready to prepare for Christmas?

I posted this on my facebook and will post it here too.  I'm glad my attending the debate didn't spark any big political discussion.  I can tell you fun things - like Michelle Bachmann definitely doesn't use botox, but otherwise, this is all I'm going to say

OK, just so ALL of my friends don't think I've fallen off the deep end. I think I'm like many people in this country. I don't agree with the Republicans on social issues and don't agree with the Democrats on the economy. In my opinion the next election is about the economy.

I do take Iowa's first in the nation status for the election process seriously. After Iowa some candidates drop out, after New Hampshire and South Carolina even more drop out. I honestly don't know who I'm going to caucus for, but I will be caucusing. For me it's a difficult decision- who I think can win or someone I like but don't think will make it through the whole process. The debate was a wonderful experience, seeing the candidates in person (they are very chummy when the camera is off) helps and listening to them without commentary by anyone helps too. But for now, I'm still undecided.

I'm in that time period where I can do nothing: can't do laundry, can't leave for the barber, the place is in complete disarray, and I am seriously frustrated. Grrrrrrrrrr . . .

Day 3 is here, but it's a very slow morning.  My mom is out having blood drawn (a monthly event).

After getting 8 hours of sleep, I'm oddly exhausted.
