I felt increasingly awful during my work day today. Developed a horrible cough, which really hurt my head, and when I took my temperature when I got home, it was 102.

I was in bed for a while, but couldn't sleep. And so here I am.

I've already read about 400 pages this year. I really need to sleep tonight. Last night I slept from midnight to 5:00am and then from 7:30-8:30 this morning.

I started keeping track on Goodreads last year but didn't keep logging things in.
I'm going to try to do it this year

My parents took me to see the Rose Parade floats on display after New Year's when I was young. I remember being mesmerized. I am sure actually working on them is pretty tough going.

Congratulations on all the nominations, bk, as well as the ongoing writing progress.

Who said progress is the root of all evil?

When I lived in Arizona we went to see the floats after a parade, I think it was the Fiesta Bowl, anyway they were covered with flowers and everyone was taking all the flowers from the float. I thought it was crazy, but when in Rome. No one seemed to have a problem with it. The only thing I remember hearing is to make sure the people who worked on the float got some of the flowers. Is that normal?

Most excellent, BK, most excellent! Congrats!!!

Mom said DN Sam is home. I haven't called anyone directly. Thought I'd call tomorrow when they are more settled in. From what mom said I've kind of put 2 and 2 together and think I know what happened. She should be fine once she recovers from the surgery.

The weather man just said we are going to have a wicked wind tomorrow. I've never heard him say that before. We are also going into the negative temps for the next week. If I go anywhere tomorrow it will be going to breakfast. Then I'm staying home where it's warm.

Congrats to DR Ryacko for his nominations, too.

(Just FYI: I am not the John Griffin nominated in the same category.)

TCB I really enjoyed Sleuth! I have never seen the play and had no idea how things were going to go... well done.my friend!

Thank you, Vixmom. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Congratulations, BK, on the multiple nominations.

John, congrats on your nomination. You deserve it after being snubbed by the Alamo Bowl.

Just finished Kismet. Only the second time I've seen the movie. It's a lot better than I remember, though it's far from a masterpiece. The Jack Cole choreography was quite good. So is Delores Gray.

You have watched that movie twice? You are a better man than I am, Gunga Din

A huge storm has whipped up here. Thunder, lightning, plenty of rain. Strange for midwinter here.

I'm taking Airborne and Coldeez and Clairtan-D - just to make sure I don't get sick and I may even take a swig of NyQuil to help sleep tonight. I think if I can just get a couple of days' worth of really good sleep all will be well and well will be all.

Oh, and I'm back from seeing this hugely wretched vampire play.

Critic Rob Stevens, who's been reviewing LA theater longer than anyone, over forty years now, is bringing back his Robby Awards, something that began in the early 1970s and continued until a decade ago when Rob moved away. He's been back for a year and has just announced the nominations - and to say I'm bowled over would be a grand understatement - Li'l Abner is up for NINE Robby Awards, including production, director, best actor and actress, best supporting actor (John Massey), musical direction, music and lyrics, costume design and Kay Cole for choreography. And as if that wasn't enough bounty, three Kritzerland shows are up for best cabaret/concert performance - our female lyricists show, our April Fool's show and our tribute to Dorothy Fields. And as if I needed even more icing on the cake, the Sandy Bainum Ira Gershwin show, which I created and directed is up, too. And I'll tell you why it feels so nice: Because in my forty four years in this business, I have never been nominated for anything having to do with the theater. Yes, a Grammy nom, but this is just so much fun! http://www.haineshisway.com/2015/01/the-29th-annual-robby-award-nominations-by-rob-stevens/

That's fantastic, BK!! Congratulations to you and everyone else involved!!

And what is especially gratifying is that other than Don Grigware, who did give a best musical event award to Li'l Abner, not ONE other critic could be bothered to see the show.

That'll learn 'em!

Tonight's "The HEAD! That Wouldn't DIE!" was sold out! AND tomorrow's FINAL performance only has about 5 tickets left!

George · « **Reply #148 on:** January 03, 2015, 12:03:21 AM »

We got a standing ovation...our first one (so you know that most people from Olympia don't just give them out willy-nilly)!
