Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a straw, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently having some of their own milk with flavor straws.

And the word of the day is: INSPISSATE!

And a very happy haineshisway.com birthday to former dear reader Hisaka.

So BK, when do you plan on announcing the soundtrack that you talked about in today's notes??

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And about an hour ago, I ended up playing "The Ladies Who Lunch" for Adinah Alexander at Brandy's.

Thanks for all the condolences about Marianne Challis. -Is that the proper verbiage? In any case...

I really do hope that her death was not the result of any foul play. There are a bunch of other voice teachers who are in the "complex" and that "vibe" is certainly something none of us needs.

DR Jennifer - I haven't gotten so far. However, usually the thing I forget to do is to hydrate properly and regularly. I've gotten much better about that now too - even if it means paying for an overpriced Gatorade from a street cart.

DR Jennifer - As for where I store my bike during all of those stops, well... I splurged on a Brompton a couple of months ago. It's a folding bike. When it's folded up completely, it's smaller than most baby strollers...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #8 on:** August 31, 2012, 12:23:34 AM »

There's no kickstand, however, if you "flip" in the rear wheel assembly...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #9 on:** August 31, 2012, 12:25:16 AM »

And here's the bike fully unfolded with some of the bells and whistles...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #10 on:** August 31, 2012, 12:29:26 AM »

...In other words, I can usually carry the bike into anywhere I go. There's a cover "bag" for it when I take it on the DC Metro - it's required.

And, yes, it rides like a normal bike. And I got the 6-speed model.

Oh...

Went to Shake Shack with my friend, Brendan, for dinner. Then we went to Brandy's for some drinks and showtunes - and to hear Matt Nakoa play again.

And that was my evening.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #12 on:** August 31, 2012, 12:32:23 AM »

As for the Friday Media Check...

Well...

Speaking of Matt Nakoa...

CD: Matt Nakoa, "Light in the Dark"

Goodnight.

Morning all.

That is all.

In 6 hours we will be on the train to Long Island.

Can't wait.

Ben · « **Reply #16 on:** August 31, 2012, 02:16:14 AM »

After almost two years of intermittent internet (on Long Island) Anthony's parents finally broke down and had the cable company in to install a real internet connection. There is a moderately strong signal coming from somewhere in the neighborhood and if you are sitting in the exact right place for a few minutes you might be able to connect but it's not a stable or secure signal. Nevertheless, they preferred trying to get on line using that signal (which, when you were outside was stronger and fully functioning, it was just when you tried to use it inside that you had problems) over having a fast, reliable and secure signal. Well, now they have one and Anthony's mother is very happy. When we get out there I will have to set up HBO Go for her. That's one of the reasons she got the service. She couldn't connect without the cable company internet service and she watches many television shows on line.

We will also have lobster for dinner on Sunday. Relatives are coming over for a bbq and they are bringing the beasts. I don't know if they will be grilled or boiled but we will have them.

I have begun to exercise again. It's been so hot and we're so busy at work that I come home and drop instead of doing something but Monday I began to ride the exercise bike again and plan on doing it for at least an hour a day every day for the foreseeable future. When we're on Long Island I will use the treadmill.

If I'm going to eat lobster and a weekend of Rose's cooking I NEED to exercise.

Ben · « **Reply #18 on:** August 31, 2012, 02:19:30 AM »

And that, my friends, is that.

Bye for now.

Doug R · « **Reply #19 on:** August 31, 2012, 02:20:10 AM »

With all those clues, I'm sure I know what the next Kritzerland release is... and I can't wait for it

Doug R · « **Reply #20 on:** August 31, 2012, 02:24:29 AM »

TOD:

CD - BODY HEAT
Blu - LE HAVRE - Aki Kaurismäki is one of my favorite directors but I didn't think this film was one of his best.

'Morning all! No much to report on my end.

Vibes for all!

Have a wonder filled day!

Danise · « **Reply #22 on:** August 31, 2012, 03:21:10 AM »

I like your bike, DR Jose.

Danise · « **Reply #23 on:** August 31, 2012, 03:22:40 AM »

Job vibes for DR John G! I hope you get a wonderful boss as well.

Good morning, all! I've been trying to get onto the internet for an hour: Time Warner service is screwed up in my neighborhood. Nothng worked.

So, last night I slept pathetically, and I hope today's AC repairman shows up ear;y because I know by 3pm I will be ready for a nap.

I am in the mdst of laundry, which will keep me busy until around 9am. I have to pay a call on the furniture store about that table I ordered, and then I wait for a repairman,

Good morning, all.

DYING to know what the Kritzerland release is going to be.

Another library book sale today. I'll go over at ten a.m. when they open the doors to the public. I used to get up at dawn's crack and pay to get into these when they open to the early birds (i.e., dealers; the same crowd you see at every damn sale all summer), but now I rarely do that. I'm not being as ridiculously acquisitive as I used to be, and there hasn't been enough stuff I really want to entice me to go to that trouble.

We love Adinah Alexander! She played Miriam Rogan (the young hero's mom, who has the really pivotal inspirational ballad) in our The Last Starfighter at Theater at St Clements (at NYMF),

She's done so many terrific shows. We got to see her as Mme Morrible in WICKED on broadway - wonderful! And I believe she is now (or is about to be) in Harvey Fierstein and Cyndi Lauper's KINKY BOOTS!

Clever tweet went out during the convention coveragefrom the twitter of

Dave Itzkoff, who's with the arts desk at the Times: Clint Eastwood's speech is going every which way but lucid.
