Well, you've read the notes, the notes marched in like a lion, and now it is time for you to post until the lionized cows come home.

And the word of the day is: DEIPNOSOPHIST!

Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

Yesterday, I wrote:

Well, it's time for me to head out. My sister had me order a couple of flat-iron hair flatteners for her and they arrived today. I'll bring them over and visit for a bit. I have some TV watching to do when I get home...and probably some laundry. I'm working concessions again tomorrow evening.

Be back later!

And Jane asked:

Why does she need more than one?

And today, I'm answering:

One is for my sister, and the other is for her daughter. After I gave them the hair-irons, I stayed for a while and we chatted and watched a bit of TV. I just realized that she didn't pay me for them...I'll have to go back.

Today after waking up, showering and getting dressed, I was just going to work concessions for The Olympia Dance Festival, but my mom called yesterday and asked if I would come over and help move an overstuffed couch and two overstuffed chairs. They're my parents' couch and chairs, but my mom sold them to someone from North Bend...which is at least an hour and a half away. So, I'll go over there around 1:00 and wait until the people who bought the couch and chairs come over, then help them (if necessary) to get the items into whatever vehicle they drove. My mom said she'd make me something to eat (always nice) and we'll probably have more than enough time to play Phase 10 before I have to leave for the theater.

Nice DR FJL....and nice review posted yesterday.

Congrats to MR BK and Sandy on their MAC nomination for the CD.

Well today is a work day. Oh well.

And the storm that DR CILLA LIZ was talking about yesterday is supposed to be in my area late this evening....hopefully AFTER I return from work. We shall see.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #9 on:** March 01, 2014, 04:49:21 AM »

Good morning, all.

Good sleep. Coffee. Banana. Nice day. Our part of the storm doesn't get here till tomorrow night, so we're in the clear for most of the weekend. And that's the news.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #10 on:** March 01, 2014, 04:52:03 AM »

The book cover is just perfect. Can't imagine better.

Count me in for a limited edition tipped-in signature page! What a great idea.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #11 on:** March 01, 2014, 04:57:52 AM »

I believe I've never even seen ten minutes of 55 DAYS AT PEKING. I shall look forward to that one of these days.

Good morning, all! I am waiting to hear from my college friend David James of Hinkley, Ohio, who now lives in London. He's in town for some choreographers/dancer event, I believe, and we shall have coffee and gossip this morning.

And that's my only commitment for the weekend.

TOD:

Although I wrote a book many years ago about Charlton Heston (for the Pyramid History of Movies collection). I've never really been a fan. Yes, he was a major star, but (in my opinion) only because he was lucky enough to star in many hugely successful movies (e.g. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, BEN-HUR, PLANET OF THE APES) that would have been hugely successful with or without his presence. The films he made that depended on his star stature alone to draw in audiences, for the most part bombed.

That said, my favorite Heston movies are:

TOUCH OF EVIL
THE BIG COUNTRY
55 DAYS AT PEKING
EL CID
WILL PENNY

I finally watched GRAVITY last night.

My hunch is that it will win the Best Picture Oscar tomorrow night.

Great cover, BK.

Update: we have decided to put my father into palliative care. They cannot give a timeframe. I will stay for a few more days. Go home and return when the time to say our final goodbyes draws closer. I do not think I'll be around tomorrow to join in the festivities. Thank you.

I just love, love, love the cover for bk's new book. It's so evocative, and I especially love the "halo" of light around the figure of the boy.

Wonderful professional news for both DR FJL and his ever-lovin' Skip. Congratulations!!

Yesterday, I had my follow up with the oral surgeon. He thinks everything is healing up nicely, although everything is still quite tender, and the sutures are sharp and cut my tongue every time I try to eat.

Last night, I saw the film West Side Story, accompanied live by the Minnesota Orchestra. It was quite something, and thoroughly enjoyable. They've processed the soundtrack to retain everything EXCEPT the music cues, which are supplied by the live orchestra. The conductor and the concertmaster wear an earphone which supplies a click track, and the conductor also has a screen with various colored bars sliding across, as well as a downbeat indicator. Somehow, it all stays together. And this is wonderfully symphonic music which benefits from the treatment. I think they've slightly adjusted the orchestrations, as the film version had a colossal number of musicians, which isn't practical for a contemporary symphony orchestra. In any case, the live sound waves in the hall were wonderfully thrilling, and beat out a pre-recorded soundtrack any day. The whole program was well-received by an enthusiastic full house.

The voluminous percussion section got an extra-special hand at the end of the evening.

That was an interesting trail link that you posted yesterday, DR Jrand63.

Saturday morning greetings! We are looking forward to this afternoon's matinee performance of EVITA followed by dinner with E & T DR Jason. Rob and Mary Linda suggested that we sup at Rock Bottom Brewery, which should be fun and very convenient for Jason. We'll be home before the winter weather advisory takes effect...
