Rehearsal is finished. I need the strongest excellent vibes and xylophones - I woke up with a scratchy throat that I'm hoping is just from not enough sleep - I cannot afford to be sick for this show or just in general. I have no time for this. I'm popping Coldeez and Airborne, but the scratchy throat just needs to disappear by tomorrow or I am screwed.

Sending lots of healing vibes, xylophones and marimbas your way. Feel better, BK.

This is one of those days when I could sure use a patty melt.

I had a patty melt for dinner last night, with fries and brown gravy

Yesterday I saw the weirdest thing on my bike ride.

On the bike path (the one on the side of the road) there were 2 horses. And they didn't move to let me by.

Even more weird they were police horses. I've never seen police on horses here before. I can't really imagine what they could accomplish. I have occasionally seen police on bikes they ride the bike paths and go thru the bike paths in the park.

um... isn't Canada the land of the Mounties.... Canadian Mounted Police? Mounted on horses.....

I suspect my brain has repressed some of the movies that really, truly, always get to me.
A very short list, then...

THE MIRACLE WORKER.
The I AM LEGEND scene -- I've only seen the film once, but yeah. (I don't remember anything about OLD YELLER.)
And for something that no one else has mentioned: TOY STORY. The first and second films had their moments, but three is a killer.

Yes, I was openly weeping in Toy Story Three -- and in Toy Story Two the "When She Loved Me" song sequence has me sobbing, every time

Steel Magnolias , Sleepless in Seattle, Gone With the Wind, West Side Story, Romeo & Juliet(1968)

Today the hot water boiler in my apartment building was being worked on so there was only cold water for my shower. Although DR Elmore thinks I need one, I just couldn't do it. So I went over to the YMCA to shower.

And 50 naked men ran screaming down the street.

sorry, that was my fault...

I was going to complain about my day at work - and then I heard about those poor firefighters in Arizona -- how terribly dreadful

My prayers are with those that loved them

DR SlipShod, we did get a lot of people signed up for Sneha's free Bollywood dance lesson. She was trying to see if there was enough interest to begin regular lessons. A lot of people signed up!

Despite the friggin hottness, the World Beat Festival was quite well attended. We had way more volunteers at our booth then we needed most of the time, so it all become very social for us, just sitting around chatting and (for me) getting to know other members and/or getting to know those better whom I already knew (I am one of the newest members). Majority of group's members are from India (the group begin in the late 70s), a few are Britains, and then there are a smattering of American's.

We only had one tiny little fan in the ten, and all of us were huddled around it most of the time. For awhile there were so many members of our group (either volunteers or those just stopping by to say hi) in the tent, that there was no room for any of the festival's attendents to come in and view the movie posters or see the movie clips playing on the TV.

I am going to suggest that for next year we have all the displays sitting outside the tent, so the social time can go on inside the tent without detracting from people seeing the goodies.

And then inside, there will be room for the beds and the cots.

There was one very nice Middle Aged gal that I was chatting with for some time on Saturday. Turned out she was an actress in Hollywood during the 80s and 90s....SEINFIELD, KNOTS LANDING, HEAD OF THE CLASS, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER...her name is Noor and she was great fun to talk to...although she was quite embarrassed when someone revealed to me that she was an actress as she never had much of a career (her words, not mine).

She lives here now and has an agent in Portland, but has found that there is very little work for a brown lady in her age bracket in the Pacific NW, let alone in Hollywood.

Tell her to go to Vancouver (B.C., not WA)

Now they're profiling Bruno's in Tacoma. Have you ever been there, DR TCB? They say that patrons often lurch into impromptu renditions of the Chicken Dance.

Nope, never heard of it. It is south of Tacoma in Parkland near Pacific Lutheran University.

Finished with my viewing and listening to a new Japanese import CD of one of the albums that made me love show music in jazz - Warner Bros. record Flower Drum Song performed by the Morris Nanton Trio - never thought it would see the light of a CD release and certainly it won't here. But here's the really weird and irritating thing: The first track is You Are Beautiful - imagine my surprise to hear an LP transfer (clearly, and not a good one) AND in mono. I was really annoyed, but then track two began and it was obviously the master tapes in glorious stereo sounding great. So, if that first track's tape version is damaged, why on earth wouldn't they do an LP transfer that a) was good (there Warners pressings on LP were superb) and b) was stereo, for heaven's sake. Even I have a copy of the stereo LP sitting here like so much fish.

Well, time to pretend that I will be able to sleep tonight. The low temp early tomorrow morning will be a brisk 63 degrees.

G'night!

Well, I'm leaving work. I need to get something to eat, but what. We'll see.

Until later!

I went to Red Robin and had the Wolverine movie tie-in burger, the Berserker burger. It was pretty darned good. AND I had enough point on my Red Robin rewards card that it was free!! I didn't order a cola, so I paid NOTHING! Except $2 for a tip. The burger would've been about $10, so that's a 20% tip.

I came home and watched the pilot episode of "Under the Dome." I was going to watch tonight's second episode, but I got distracted and didn't.
