Well, you've read the notes, the notes did not feature a featurette, and now it is time for you to post until the featured cows come home.

And the word of the day is: COXCOMB!

First!

Thanks to waking up way too early and tossing and turning. Hopefully I'll get back to sleep for a while. But it's nice to ketchup early.

DR Dan M - it sure is a good thing that there is no groaning at HHW. Abyssinia?

DR TCB - yes, indeed. The news from your region is pretty dire. {{hugs}}

ASK BK

The way the music business is working these days do you think you previous labels' business models would still work in today's digital world?

DR MBarnum - I am happy that you have entered the world of DOWNTON.

The world's finest viola (a Stradivarius) is going to auction, and expected to fetch as much as $45 million dollars...

Morning all.

That is all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #13 on:** March 26, 2014, 04:32:15 AM »

Well, sleep wasn't in the cards, so: I'm up.

At some point today, there will be a nice nap.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the title of today's notes was the shockingly ill-conceived featurette on the otherwise magnificent HOUSE OF WAX Blu-ray, with its bizarre, unrelenting, and way overbalanced underscoring that attempted (and, I would say, succeeded) in putting the proverbial Chinese water torture to shame. If I recall, that one also concluded with a credit scroll that would choke a horse.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #15 on:** March 26, 2014, 04:44:57 AM »

And if I could have worked just a few more adjectives and metaphors into that post, then I, too, might have had what it takes to be a Writer and Director of Featurettes.

There was an ABYSSINIA musical, with a terrific score, a couple of decades back at AMAS. Or was it at CSC?

Good morning, all! I am bathed, dressed and having my first cup of coffee. My head is still clogged up and I would like to try a day of no cold/allergy drugs to see how the situation really is. I have work to accomplish here, and I'll see how that goes.

I really want to go back to bed, but I think I'll stay up for bit and see how I do.

Wednesday. Today I am taking my sister Molly shopping at Goodwill. I think we will find some treasures.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 26, 2014, 06:03:09 AM »

I charged my new tablet last night, so I am ready to use it anytime it is necessary. Whenever that may be.

I feel very 21st century now.

Wednesday morning greetings! Lots to do today before this weekend's wedding festivities for our nephew Christopher and his bride Kyra.

Good morning, all.

JRand, thanks for deserting those of us still in the 19th and 20th centuries.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #22 on:** March 26, 2014, 06:35:32 AM »

A photographic tour of DR Jrand63's Space Age Bachelor Pad might be in order.

I am pondering what I think about any recipes whose title include the words "frizzled shallots."

We watched INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS last night.

I don't think this is really a SPOILER, so:

I really liked the movie, but I also had no sympathy for the central character.

I felt he got exactly what he deserved.

Congrats to the Coen Brothers for not wimping out at the end.

I awoke this a.m. to pouring rain which has only let up a couple of times the past few hours. It should rain throughout the day, so this is a very good thing.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #26 on:** March 26, 2014, 09:05:28 AM »

I watched "Lincoln" last night.

I was dazzled.

Perfect casting down the line, but most importantly, the finest living actor BECAME Lincoln.

Where can I find a "how-to" reference on "frizzling"? Am unfamiliar with the process.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #28 on:** March 26, 2014, 09:10:10 AM »

LOL......my 21st Century Bachelor Pad looks exactly like my 20th Century Bachelor Pad.....

Exactly.

LOL DR JOHN G - I'm Still Here (a Stephen Sondheim reference.)

DR Ron Pulliam - I am imagining them to be very similar to the crispy onions that you would put atop your green bean casserole.
