There's nudity in "It's a Wonderful Life"?

Isn't there a big swimming scene in the gym?

Thanks for all the welcome-home wishes for Richard. All of his prescriptions have been filled and we now know why the hospital gave him all those coupons and offers for co-pay assistance for one of them. Yikes, it was expensive, even with insurance!

So glad that Richard is home!

Finished the commentary, tried to watch a motion picture but kept falling asleep. Now I suppose I'll listen to some mixes.

The Vixter treated Vixdad and myself to dinner at the Texas Roadhouse

vixmom · « **Reply #101 on:** August 17, 2013, 06:39:06 PM »

It was delicious

vixmom · « **Reply #102 on:** August 17, 2013, 06:41:35 PM »

There was some delay in Vixdad's dinner as the server accidently dropped the tray after serving the vixter and myself and Vixdad's dinner hit the deck

vixmom · « **Reply #103 on:** August 17, 2013, 06:43:48 PM »

It was not actually our waitress who dropped it but a food runner - he was truly upset and apologetic and hn the waitress came apologized and then the server manager and then the GM brought Vixdad's replacement dinner out himself with more apologies

vixmom · « **Reply #104 on:** August 17, 2013, 06:44:28 PM »

Vixdad said his dinner was delicious and perfectly cooked

vixmom · « **Reply #105 on:** August 17, 2013, 06:46:57 PM »

Then after dinner the server wheeled over a sawhorse with a saddle on it and I was invited to sit on the saddle while our waitress yelled out to everyone that it was my birthday instead of singing happy birthday they all yelled "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAA!!"

Almost finished listening to mixes - these were made hastily these mp3s and don't sound as good as they did in the studio, which is frustrating - still I've only found a handful of minor adjustments. But I'll be happy to have these made correctly so I'm not hearing weird compression on the voice (different machines than in the studio) and endless digital clicks, none of which are on the mixes as played in the studio with their superb equipment.

Been enjoying elmore's reports.

John G. · « **Reply #110 on:** August 17, 2013, 07:53:44 PM »

Vibes for Elmore. (And thanks for the updates. I have been enjoying them, too. I think we all have.)

Ginny, great news on Richard coming home. Let's hope August ends without any more incidents.

TCB: I got my Thin Man series last Christmas from Amazon for $17. I wonder if it will go on sale again?

Finished the mixes, and am now listening to an upcoming master again - opinions sharply divided on this score, but I think it's one of the best from its decade and one ripe for rediscovery - especially as the score was kind of butchered in the film - cut up into bits with many cues unused. Funnily, the people who were doing the most complaining about it in various Film Score Monthly threads, kept returning to the old CD over and over again - and it is completely addictive - but when the score is heard the way the composer wrote it it is a whole different ball of fish in a kettle.

Went out on a BBQ run today. Did a small pocket of Texas not known for its 'cue. Ended up going to six places in a 500-mile radius. A couple were not very good, but there were some riches to be had. One place had excellent brisket, just moist with fat and the subtlest flavor of pecan smoke. Another had cabrito that had a crunchy outer layer and moist meat at the bone.

I have leftovers for more than a week. And then it's back on the trail.

Get me off this damn page.

Watching the old "Parade's End" mini-series. It's growing on me. All the ugliness seems to be rising to the surface. Goody.

John G. · « **Reply #118 on:** August 17, 2013, 08:09:44 PM »

Ribs and brisket at one place. (And the guy who made up my plate gave me more than double what I should have had -- which I didn't want!)

This was meal No. 5.

where did everybody go?
