Our Best Buy has become very untidy. I went to look at the tv selection there, and while the had plenty of TVs, only half were turned on. Some sections of the store were dimly lit, some displays had no signage, etc.

It is a good place to buy computers, and that is the only section that seems to be kept up at all, at least in the store here.

I bought this laptop at a Best Buy here in San Antonio. It was one of many they were discontinuing and it seemed as if the whole laptop area was being downsized.
That's because fewer people are using laptops and more are using notepads and notepads with keyboards.  Their desk top area is also smaller, but it's for the same reason

The announcement of postponing TIME AND AGAIN at 54 Below seemed pretty darn classy, that they said in announcing it that Skip's score was near and dear to them.

"Unfortunately, we have to postpone indefinitely the presentation of Time and Again, a score near and dear to all of us at 54 Below," says Phil Geoffrey Bond, Director of Original Programming, 54 Below. "We couldn't find creative solutions to present the score in its best light and are postponing this until we do. We are thrilled that Merrily We Roll Along will be the latest score celebrated in our exciting '54 Sings' concert series."


"Postpone indefinitely?"  Oh no!

Good morning, all! Perhaps it's the rain, but I really wanted to lie in bed and listen to the rain for another hour. Instead, I'm up, and preparing for physical therapy.

Today is Sheldon Harnick's 90th birthday. What a wonderful man!

Speaking of birthdays, the vixter's looks like a major production to rival any Busby Berkley epic and I'm happy it went so well.

Yesterday, my super came in and used the last of the sheet rock he has to cover my bathroom ceiling over the tub. There's an area of about 3 square feet that is still uncovered and it will remain so till the supplies arrive, sometime between now and my death, when they will have to redo the bathroom to rent the apartment.  It took me about an hour last night to mop up the dust, wash the walls and clean the silt out of the tub and sink.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Great midweek vibes for everyone! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


ASK ELMORE DAY

What do you think of the new super?

He's the son-in-law of my former super. I like him and his family.

Looking forward to seeing "Rise: A Spiritual Journey of Resistance"  tonight. It's a central point of Tolerance Week in Sioux City.  It's a really cool yearly event mostly centered on remembering the Holocaust.   This is a local public radio interview with the founder Jerry Weiner and our Symphony conductor Ryan Haskins. The interview is worth listening to.  I'm anxious to attend

I almost forgot that they are filming an episode of TNT's THE LIBRARIANS here in Salem. They are just down the block. Our state capital building is standing in for the NYC library and the park across the street will be used as the outside of a Munich Germany museum.

I have never heard of this show, but I just looked it up and it stars Noah Wylie and Matt Frewer among names I don't recognize.

It is possible they are filming the first episode.  You will have to watch it now.

I went to IMDB and have to wonder how can you not know the names of others listed, including Bob Newhart & John Larroquette (others but these are two I expect you to know).  What about Jane Curtin?   I don't see Frewer who is on Wylie's  FALLING SKIES.

"The Librarian" was a series of three made-for-TV movies in the "Indiana Jones" vein.  I really enjoyed them.  Jane Curtain and Bob Newhart were in them and they were just a lot of fun.  A co-worker of mine was an extra in a recent episode of "Portlandia" and she was contacted about being a regular extra for the series!  She can't do it, but she felt pretty special that she was asked. :)

Off to a G/D rehearsal.

I misread that as an abbreviated curse instead of "Guys and Dolls."

I've been reading it that way EVERY time that he's posted it.

I pulled down that earlier post from this morning.  We'd thought it was a positive looking-ahead press release by them, but from the reactions to it, I figured better not to have it there.

Jane, that's OK.   I just looked up the meaning of that phrase "postponed indefinitely" - and that's what it means, but not what Skip was told.

Thanks for the alert!  I guess Skip had better check since he's already been doing work on an alternative way of doing the show.

And on a really sad note...'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' actor Hoskins dies at 71.

:(

Sad to hear that he passed away. 71 isn't that old anymore

I had the opportunity to work with him twice.

Unfortunately I never got to see either project. One was a television commercial for British Telecom and the other was for a movie called Rainbow both in 1995. They were both filmed in Montreal. I got the tv commercial because I was in the film.

The movie as far as I know was never released in North America.

But found out later via IMDB that:

1) That Bob Hoskins was the director. My scene was with him so I didn't realize he was the directing. It was a busy scene with lots of extras.

2) The first live-action theatrical motion picture originated on digital high definition video for distribution and exhibition in 35mm film. Freddie Francis photographed the movie with the Sony HDC-500 digital high definition camera system. Following the successful completion of this ground-breaking 'experiment', Sony along with Panavision developed the next generation of this camera system, the HDW-F900 for George Lucas, which he utilized in the production of "Star Wars:Episode II-Attack Of The Clones".

It wasn't until I saw Baldacci's name in the titles that I realized I had read, and have one book to be read.  I wish I had noticed his name when the show first aired as I would have begun recording them sooner.

Rehearsal cancelled.  Bad stuff afoot - very upsetting and has me in a very dark place.  Please send the strongest most excellent vibes and xylophones for a happy resolution because this could turn very unpleasant.

Thank you for your personal story.  Yes, 71 is young today.  Pneumonia is scary, especially when there are other health issues.

Bruce have you tried taking Benadryl, or whatever allergy helper you prefer?  I find it helps unless I am concerned about getting too dried out.
