DR Dan the man best wishes for your mom. I think it is nice that the roomie has family. But it should not inconvenience your mom. Usually there are limits to the number of people they allow in the room.

I must assume five and a half of those months is spent in the waiting room.

The first tv I remember was an old blonde Sears Silvertone black and white number on metal legs that had a hi-fi in the top.  Probably years before I was even born, the needle had been removed from the stylus, but one day I was playing around with some of my parents' old 78s, including an Edward R. Murray I CAN HEAR IT NOW folio, and I discovered that if I put my fingernail on the record, I could hear the sound!  I kid you not.
Murray or Murrow?

I have no idea what you're talking about.   ;D
Oh, so, now you're sheepish because someone reads your posts?  ;D

Was it here that I first saw this sad story on the World's Largest Record Collection?

I think it must have been as I've seen this story, as well.

Just about....but it was only about a half an hour altogether today.

I just read THIS article about "Cabaret" finally being restored and why it hadn't been before.  I would assume that it'll eventually be released on Blu-ray, but it doesn't specifically say that.  Here's what the article says about the restoration:

Quote
"Cabaret" has been sold on standard-definition DVD from Warner Bros. But it was unavailable in high-def or for digital presentation because of a vertical scratch that ran through 1,000 feet, or 10 minutes, of one of its reels, said Ned Price, vice president of mastering and restoration for Warner Bros.

The damage apparently was caused by a piece of dirt that had rolled through the length of the reel, starting with a scene in which York's character has a confrontation with a pro-Nazi boarding house resident, and cut into the emulsion.

With the damaged images digitally "painted out" using bits from surrounding areas, "the difficult part was matching the grain structure so the fix was invisible," Price said in an email.

Repair attempts using automated digital processing failed, so all 1.4 million frames of the damaged reel were painted by an operator using a computer stylus. The restored version is expected to play on TCM later this year.

Holy moley on rye, I slept until eleven-thirty - the past week must have finally caught up with me.  I am now very behind on things so off I go.

Am on hold with a computer programmer at the bank who cannot program. That means I might not be able to get the main info for taxes again. Agh.  ???

I used to play records with my fingernail, too.

Wasn't the same as stereo.

I used to do that as well. I'd forgotten about the 78s.

I also spent a good deal of time on the phone regarding filming in this neighborhood.  Last night's missive that there would be filming over a two day period this weekend and blocking both sides of the street in front of my house and five blocks to the west was the straw that broke the Kimmel's back.  Somehow my little neighborhood has become the poster child for film shoots and I've had it and most of the neighbors have had it.  So, first I spoke to the location manager, who was appalled to find that whoever did the paper got almost all the information wrong - my street is not involved, as it turns out.  He was a very nice guy and totally understood - I also told him that even though this block wasn't involved that every time that's the case crew and actors always end up parking there rather than going to the lot that the production company is PAYING for them to go to.  He said to call him the day of the shoot if that happens, which I will.

Then I raised a little hell with Film-LA, the service that books these film shoots and suggests where to shoot.  I got very strong with them and told them this was happening three times a month now - he told me he's had a bunch of other complaints from my neighbors, so he said they will now look carefully at the frequency of shoots here and not allow that to happen anymore.

I'm under the impression that Warner Brothers plans on releasing this on Blu-ray this year.  It has been months since I read whatever it was I read about "upcoming" (i.e. in the year ahead) releases from them, but "Cabaret" WAS one of the titles.

I don't think that this has been mentioned here (yet), but J.K. Rowling's next book: 'The Casual Vacancy.'

I forwarded this article to our adult fiction selector and she had me put in a temporary record in our catalog...I placed the first request.

The 4 library books i was waiting for were not there. I am going to read the Hunger Games movie companion tonight. And if my books aren't there tomorrow then i will start something else.

I have a series (well the first two books) to read. But i don't want to start that if the library books will be coming in. Plus i have 2 ebooks i want to read (including BK's book).
