Five!

[John G.]

My CDs, including "A Time for Singing," have arrived!

[John G.]

Night off from Fiesta. But tap class was very involved and a lot of fun.

[John G.]

Starting to watch "Skyfall." Love the opening. Wish I could watch the whole movi tonight, but I doubt I'll be able to do that.

If the shirt truly did violate the dress code then I think the teacher had every right to tell the kid to reverse it  - but I wonder about eh fact that he was already in 5th period lunch , so  I assume he had already been in homeroom and 4  classes with at least 4  teachers and no one else was bothered enough to make an issue about this

While I strongly believe that rules are there to be obeyed I also have seen some teachers who are confrontational and over impressed with their own importance and authority.  There was the idiot  teacher in my high school who tried to make an boy from an orthodox Jewish family remove his yamulke because hats were not allowed in school -    the boy refused, was sent to the principal and returned 15 minutes later with a note for the teacher and his yamulke in place

I  was a member of the site committee for the Vixters primary school and I campaigned long and hard for a uniform - but I could not get the support-

Some teachers are also scared of kids wearing T-shirts with weapons on them.

Well, it's time for me to head home.  Tonight is my last night of freedom before our last weekend of "Reservoir Dogs"!  It'll be sad to see it all end...a great time was had by many! 

[George]

I'll certainly be glad to get my evenings back.  However, that'll only last for a couple of weeks.  Starting in the middle of next month, I'm going to run sound for another show, "Cinder Edna," put on by Olympia Family Theater, who put on "The Wind in the Willows" a few months ago.

[George]

Until later!

I understand and if shirts depicting weapons was banned  by the schools dress code ( and I personally think they should be) then the kid should have been so advised (and as soon  as he arrived at  school not half way through the day)  but the news story says that no such ban exists -  so I am conflicted -

Then Doug Haverty reminded me that today was the day we were meeting with the tech people about all the website changes.  So, we drove to Granada Hills and had a great meeting and I gave the go-ahead to begin the transition to a much more up-to-date place.  Shortly they will be updating everything, but you won't see that - they're cloning the site, doing a ghost version that only they, Doug, and I can see - and we'll make sure it is functioning exactly as we want in terms of this board and how I post my notes.  We are so far behind in terms of software updates, it's like we're in another century.  I told them I'd like to stay with both companies software-wise, just because that's what I'm used to, but if we find that the two alternative companies offer better things, we'll switch.  If it's the latter, this board will probably look a little different, but all archives will be saved and there.  I'd prefer not doing that, though - much easier if we stay where we are. 

Apparently, the new software for the place I do my notes from, has tons of new stuff that wasn't available to me in this ancient version - I'll be able to bold, italicize and all that stuff - I'll be able to insert clickable links, videos, music - whatever I feel like and that will be totally great.  So, we're on the way!  We also talked about the radio show, and I think the way that will work is that you'll click on it and it will open a universal player (nothing to download) and you play it directly from the site itself.  That sounds great to me.

Great news, BK!! 

Will it be possible to archive the radio show?

That's the plan.

And, on a lighter and non-political note:

That is so photoshopped! Just look at those wheels closely!

Sorry if it's offensive to you.  It was meant for fun.

Oh it wasn't offensive at all. It gave me a chuckle. Then I look at a lithe longer than I should have. Perhaps I shouldn't have made the comment. Sorry/

[John G.]

Really having fun with "Skyfall," largely because Javier Bardem is such a hoot.

Didn't Adele win for Best Costumes?

The song was a zero, but I guess it was better than the new song in "Les Miz."

[John G.]

Night, all.

I went to Gelson's and got some hand-carved turkey for my evening food - I'd only eaten six hundred calories at lunch (salmon) and I had to have another six hundred, which I'm sure the turkey provided - don't want to really eat under 1200 as it's not healthy for me.  But then I felt so guilty about missing a jog today that I went out and did a three-mile jog.

No worries.  Some folks are offended if a photoshopped photo is posted.  I guess they feel someone is trying to fool them.  I'm a movie fan and ALL movies are photoshopped to some extent...never bothers me unless someone tries to make me believe it's an actual event in the news.

[bk]

I gotta tell you.

Cool!  Do you plan on just archiving shows from when the new site starts up or might there be select shows from past years?

[bk]

We'll do past shows, too.
