Well, you've read the notes, the notes were pummeled by an Emu, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently being pummeled by the hens.

Thank you, Cillaliz and Jeanne.

You can also submit Outside The Box for an Emmy. I believe there is a category for it now.

Sondheim sticks to his guns. Here's a quote from an interview in the Guardian:

What's the worst thing anyone ever said about you?

I remember a sentence from a British review of Sweeney Todd by a man named James Fenton, which went something like "Sweeney Todd is a tissue of bullshit from beginning to end". But hey, if you're going to have a thin skin, you're not an artist that's going to be reviewed. I try not to read my reviews, but there's always some friend who'll come along and, under the guise of trying to comfort you, let you know that you've been speared.

BK, you would think that since it was THEM WHO MADE THE ERROR that they could just fit you in for an eye exam right away at the place closest to you!

That reminds me, I still need to read CATCH ME. It still isn't available at my library as an eBook, guess I'll buy it.

Can you request/suggest ebooks? I'd think it would work the same way as regular books. And do they have the other books as ebooks?

Also, is it really that bad on your shoulder that you can't read any hardcovers? Even if you lean them against something? I know I usually use my bagabook. BUt even without it, I don't find I have to hold the hardcovers much.

Good morning, all.

Oy, what a night! I woke up in the middle of it, with the sudden realization that I'd scheduled two things for Thursday evening, and just pounded out a note of apology to the lesser (but not Loesser) of the parties involved.

I am ready for my coffee, Mr. DeMille.

This goes without saying.

So let DR Jennifer and I both say it.

DMVs, alas, do not get quite into that level of customer service and satisfaction.

RE: last night's DANCING WITH THE STARS

DR Cillaliz, I am surprised that your mom dislikes Tony so much. Almost everything I had read prior to the result was from people saying how much they liked Tony. I think people wanted him to win just as much (or maybe even more) than they wanted Melissa to win. Think about it. He's been on for 14 seasons and never won. Part of the reason I was happy was for him. He seems like such a nice person. I was pretty surprised with the result. I liked both teams fairly equally. But preferred Derek and Shawn a bit more (I have a soft spot for Derek since I think he is the most fabulous professional on the show). And with their gymnastics/dance and with the high of their instant dance... well it seemed like they would win for sure. I really think that their first dance didn't sit right with some people. I love Derek and I love that dance, but it just didn't sit right with me.

I just assumed BK would have made it clear that that was what he required. Maybe he tried and they didn't care (probably the case).

Were the Roman hortators masters of hortative modalities?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #24 on:** November 28, 2012, 06:26:46 AM »

I swear, there can't possibly be one thing that BK missed while growing up. And I can't begin to say how much I envy that.

This LADYBUG, LADYBUG, for instance. Never heard of it! I did go to DAVID AND LISA, and even if my memories of that are sketchy, I'm forever grateful (not sorry) I honed in on the Frank Perry type of film at that tender age. I have to see this one. Stat.

Anyone 'else' watching "The Voice" this season?

I've been following since the first audition. Last night, we learned who the final 6 are.

Things I've learned this season: Adam Levine is a phenomenal singer. Blake Shelton and Ceelo Green are great artists. Christina Aguilera is vastly overrated as a singer.

Last night, one of the season's three best singers was sent home. Happily, the two very best are still in the competition, but the front-runner has not, IMO, evolved in his presentation the past couple of weeks and is only going for "moments" rather than putting effor into the whole songs.

Sigh.

Wednesday morning greetings! I crashed pretty early last night, which means that I woke up early this morning. The second load of laundry is in the washer.

Good morning, all! This cold is Fionnuala's Malady, since I believe, in examining the past month of my health history, that Fionnuala brought this cold from Dublin and passed it on to me when she was here several weeks ago. Last night, I took the Nyquil at 9pm, went to bed at 10pm, coughed until midnight, when I decided this was SHIT and decidedto try my newly purchased neti pot. Couldn't hurt.

Well, by 12:30, I had clean sinuses and there was no more coughing for the remainderof the night. I don't think I got to sleep until after 1:30, but that neti pot is my new friend.

But, I have no voice today and I'm staying home. At some point Idohave to meet up with Niall and, possibly, Paul Byrum. I would like to see Niall before he returns to Ireland tomorrow. So, I will workhere, peel and chop potatoes andcarrots and finish Th Soup.

Looking at the IMDb, I see a handful of fine names in this one: William Daniels. Nancy Marchand. Estelle Parsons.

Hell -- I mean SHIT -- maybe I should join the rest of our civilized consumerist society and get me some Amazon Prime.

I want to see anything with Alice Playten. I've been a fan for years, but I didn't get to meet her until, sadly, a few months before she died. Same with Lynn Thigpen.
