Three!

[John G.]

I remember getting to see Easter Parade on the big screen back when I was in high school. I remember the colors not being as saturated as some of the Vincente Minnelli's movies. But I thought Astaire and Garland were beautifully natural together. Very complementary.

A continuation of a thread from last week or so. I got this press release in an email today:

"Hi John,


As you may know, National American Chocolate Week is the third week in March (March 18 – 23)."

[ChasSmith]

I have probably never seen most of EASTER PARADE.  Some clips, certainly.  I did get the 2-disc DVD set a few years back, but haven't watched it.  I'm sure I'll end up with the Blu-ray, but it's not high on my list.  What was high on my list was THE MASTER (sorry, DR Jane!) which I just picked up at Costco, and which I will very likely be unable to resist watching tonight...and I fully expect it to take a few viewings to "get".  But I really like Paul Thomas Anderson's work, and I trust it to jell for me eventually.  If not sooner.  Some people do like it fine on first viewing.

Got a nice package from Kritzerland today!

BK,

I'm shocked...SHOCKED that you've never seen it.

 


EASTER PARADE is my favorite Fred Astaire movie.

I love it, too.  I've always sort of thought of it as a musical version of Pygmalian...sort of.

I never thought of it that way but I get it.

My favorite scene in the movie is early in the movie when Judy Garland is walking down the street trying to impress Astaire.

I hope you like it as much as Keith did.

Last night we watched I MARRIED A WITCH.  I didn't realize Keith has never seen it.  I enjoyed listening to him laughing.

It was a wonderful rehearsaland the charts for SUPERMAN are both a lot of fun and a bit of mystery: what drugs was Eddie Sauter on when he was writing the Exit Music?  Rob Berman's artistry on the podium is amazing, and after break we all sang Happy Birthday to Joshie.

I arrived home from the orchestra reading to find that my record producer had sent me four takes of a reprise from the Act Two DEAREST ENEMY Finale.   All I can say is that I was dumped on by a conductor I trusted, and in my frustration I let the singer down. I hope we can use three of the takes to cut and paste something I can live with since the problems were caused by a conductor who was unwilling to do anything I requested about the number. Both the singer and I were hung out to dry here and I am far from amused.

So, DR Matthew, you never told us if that was the MADAME BUTTERFLY recording!

From Facebook regarding "following":

How do I follow someone?

Click Follow on the timeline of the person you want to see updates from.

You'll only see the option to follow someone who allows people to follow them.

If you send someone a friend request and they have this feature turned on, you'll automatically follow their updates.

I would think it would be pretty rare for people to have the following option on. I did what you wrote in the other message. And see that I follow 4 people/2 are authors who had this is a method of following them.

I just checked under account settings. There is something called "followers" which i do not have checked off.

[Danise]

Hi all!  Listening to AC to see if he says anything on the show.  I saw the post on AL as well.  Interesting.  The guy came out to mark where it would be safe for them to start on the place for the W/D last month.   One would think that means they would be starting in days.  Well, that call was for nothing because everything he marked is long gone with the first rain and no one except me saw it.

As for offering to do the plumbing --that's wonderful--but you gotta build the building or do the work in the kitchen before you can do that and at the rate it's moving, that might be 2 or 3 years down the road.

That seems to be the pattern.  They come out mark and or measure the kitchen (4 times and counting--I think my kitchen keeps changing size) or the yard or whatever and that's it.  When comes to DOING something it just doesn't happen. 

[Jane]

I guess I should ask Angie exactly when this is going to happen.

Now I'm confused.  I don't understand how you can follow anyone without leaving it open for other people to follow you.  Facebook can be so confusing.  Following authors seems to me the same as my "liking" their FB page.

Had a nice meeting and I shall now eat some tuna sandwiches because I'm HUNGRY.

Following and liking is basically the same thing. But some pages have it set up that you like their page and some have it set up that you follow them. Don't know why people would do it one way or the other.

We are people not pages, so for the most part I can't see that most people would have the following option open. There is one person I follow who is an author (but not very well known). She has her page set up to allow friends. But also people can follow her. She she isn't my personal friend, i chose to follow her (if that makes sense).

Don't really understand the whole thing. Probably people who have a lot of friends might want to consider allowing people to follow them.

There's been a reply to my post about DR Danise on the Angie's List Facebook page, including the following link:

FANTASTIC NEWS!!!!
Guess the squeaky wheel really does get the grease!

Monday morning greetings!  Apparently there's a winter storm on the way 

would you mind blowing it in a southerly direction when it gets there , please?

"Hi John,

Did it tell you that to celebrate you should send chocolate to everyone you know _{(living on Long Island)}?

[Danise]

I guess I should ask Angie exactly when this is going to happen.

  I wouldn't worry about it Jane.  I'm just tired of the whole thing.  It all boils down to you you either do what you say or not.  I don't think they are going to anything.

Like I said, I asked point blank about the kitchen and was told it didn't look good and then last week I was told that because of the septic tank, that project didn't look good either but maybe I could get the money for the W/D and that money could go towards the kitchen.  That tells me they are not going to do the W/D shed. 

I offer to buy you a car and a year later I tell you, give me money towards it and I'll help you get it, what do you need me for?  And if I get it for you, you may not get the color or the model that you want.   Eh.

Happy Grammar Day!

when is Grampa Day?

[FJL]

In EASTER PARADE, I like how Ann Miller says to her maid before she does her big number "Bring me my slippers"......because after the number which she does in high heels, she steps out from behind the curtain and dances with Fred in flats....that's some QUICK shoe change!!!

Yipes, i read too fast.  i thought Jrand had posted that Ann Miner was dancing with Fred in flats

Happy Grammar Day!

when is Grampa Day?

Grammy Day was a few Sundays ago.  Didn't Adele win something?

[Danise]

I didn't know about the 2nd sink hole.  Linda, the lady who lives around the block from me, went to look at the one at the house.  She said they measured the distance and it was only a mile and a half away.  And that was going the long way round. 

I worry for the dogs if one opened in the yard while I'm at work.

[Danise]

It warmed up  pretty quickly.  I still have the heat set on 67.  I think it might be wise as the temp will go down with the sun.

[Danise]

I just went and looked at where the 2nd sink hole is.  I drive past there every day on the way to the bus stop. 

[John G.]

Listening to "Eileen" after a lame workout (I have pinched a nerve and it isn't making me too happy to move). What fun.

[John G.]

Let's move on.
