TOD:         CD:  London cast 1776


DR elmore3003 - that's not a commercially released CD, is it?

No, and I wish it were. I have a very snap-crackle-pop mp3 of the cast LP and I'd love to hear it with no extraneous noises. The cast is good, and I prefer Cheryl Kennedy to Betty Buckley (I'd prefer you to Betty Buckley!, DR singdaw).  The British cast also has more of the score than the OBC.

Can't they stop people from setting off their own fireworks? I've never heard of such a thing here. I don't think anybody does that.

They are legal to buy here, but not legal to set off in most cities around Phoenix. But there is no way to enforce it, really.

I blew my stack. The minute I opened my windows she started another fire.  I marched down there, she let her dog off the leash to come and bark at me.   I could tell it wasn't going to bite.  She wasn't willing to work with me so I told her I was going to get the hose and shoot it down the hill at her house.  Of course I wasn't going to do that, but I was pretty ticked. I came home and called the fire department to see what kind of fire they can have.   She wasn't being illegal, but my house was still filling with smoke.   While I was on the phone she came over to work it out. 

She said when she likes something she tends to go overboard and that she doesn't really have to have a fire every day and every night.  I told her I let things build up and then sort of explode. She said she noticed.  She has to mow a strip across the street from me and I told her I'd take care of that for her if she worked with me on the fire.  So she said how about she'll do fires at night and not during the day.  It's not ideal but at least I can get some fresh air.    And, since she wasn't being illegal there's nothing I can do about it

Too bad about the London 1776.  Is there no better copy floating around, or is it just very hard to get?

She didn't know it was illegal to have a fire when the wind is over 15 miles per hour and she does have a screen to put over it (also code).  Hopefully this will take care of it.  She didn't apologize for sicking her dog on me, but I didn't get bit, so I'm not that concerned about it.  And if someone was ranting and raving as they came toward my house...like I was...if I had a dog I'd do the same thing.

I'm up - I think I got about eight-and-a-half hours of blessed sleep.  Throat feels fine but again everything around it feels thick, but that's just probably morning gunk and will go away.

I'm sorry, Cillaliz. Good neighbors are a true blessing. I hope your neighbor understands your point of view and becomes a good neighbor.

My Dog Sadie loves listening to Barbra Streisand.

Yesterday I was playing her CD.  She was really enjoying it as she was starting to take as siesta!

Sometimes when I play my other CD's she runs out of the room.

I guess she likes Bab's soothing voice and the medodies.

Sounds like fun, especially if it has Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way" in the mix.

In fact, just about anything from the "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" soundtrack would do it for me.

I feel for you, DR Cillaliz. Although I live on the 4th floor, the smoke from the smokers wafts into all of my windows as I am just above the area where smokers accumulate.

Smoking is not allowed in the apartment building, but it is allowed in the area to the right of the entrance or on the roof top garden.

Usually cigarrette smoke does not bother me much if I am just walking past a smoker...but for some reason, once the smoke has risen to the fourth floor is smells very stale and yuckky...and of course once it is in my apartment, there is no escaping it.

This is probably karma coming back at me for the years that I was a smoker and fouled the air all around.

Good morning, all.
Yesterday felt like a Sunday, and today feels like a Monday.  But...
Happy Friday, all!
Yesterday felt like Saturday, and today kind of feels like Friday/Saturday/Sunday.
I'll be really confused tomorrow.

This day is nearly half over at work.   Time has flown by and only three of us here.  Two of us, actually.  The third is retiring after today, but he's been very ill and has had a slow recovery.  He's been working because he needs to put in the days to have sufficient retirement accrual of days/time.   He's one happy camper, but he's been gadding about chatting with folks wishing him well.

So, BK, ever thought of going disco and releasing the "Goodbar" soundtrack? It's out of print and outrageously priced on amazon.
