Thursday morning greetings! It's a rainy day in SW Ohio, perfect for a 3-hour colored pencil technique class in the lower level of the Sharonville Convention Center. That's where I'll be late this afternoon, then I'm staying overnight in the Cincinnati 'burbs so I don't have to fight morning rush hour for an 8am class tomorrow morning.

We did the body carrying sequences several times each....so I am a bit sore today....but in the show we only have to do them ONE time each.

The director seems almost intent on directing the laughs out of the show....but we outnumber him....

Wonderful notes.....but I shall have to think about my TOD response.....just a couple, but they were fun!

I will be very scarce the next three days, Friday-Sunday. I'm going back up to "Capitolfest" in Rome, NY, which I first attended a couple of years ago. It's a unique way to spend a summer weekend -- for the most part, being inside of a 1928 movie palace that's well care for and partially restored, watching films exclusively of the 1920s and 1930s. But the theater and the projection (note to BK: carbon arc) are incredible, and you really get into the groove of films of that period, and most of them are new discoveries. Almost everything is 35mm, on loan from studios, collectors, and the Library of Congress. It's a real getaway into another world.

Good morning, all.

Went to a lot of theater that was good and not-so-good as a kid. Shakespeare in the Park was a highlight, so was a host of productions at Actors Theater of Louisville when the playwriting festival was getting underway.

Saw world premiere productions of Agnes of God and Marsha Norman's early works as well as Shaw, more Shakespeare, a wondrous production of J.M. Barrie's What Every Woman Knows, Wodehouse's The Play's the Thing, and so many more. I even remember the flops, like the outer space rock musical version of Titus Andronicus and a 4-hour bio of Gilbert and Sullivan called Tarantara! Tarantara!

Also saw Baryshnikov at the height of his powers as he danced two years in a row with the Louisville Ballet Theater. He and Patricia McBride led the Balanchine Pas de Deuze, images from which I still remember.

Good morning.

My DH came home last night. He will make another trip sometime soon, he says.

Your DH must be exhausted.

This has been a long afternoon. I got home from Columbia around 1:00, had a long phone conversation with my new Gentlemen, Be Seated! copyist, and then spent about two hours transcribing all my notes I had copied at Columbia. I am ready for a nap.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #46 on:** August 06, 2015, 02:02:58 PM »

I tried twice to take a li'l nap, and it was one of those times when you're so tired you can't fall asleep easily.

Tonight, man.

singdaw · « **Reply #47 on:** August 06, 2015, 02:34:14 PM »

Li'l naps are the cutest naps!

singdaw · « **Reply #48 on:** August 06, 2015, 02:34:58 PM »

But almost nothing beats the frustration of being so tired, knowing that you need to sleep, and not being able to fall asleep.

Jeepers!

We have had intense, heavy periods of rain here, off and on, all day.

It is even worse at night than when you want a short nap.

We have had intense, heavy periods of NO rain here, mostly off, for the past six months.

Yes, I'm up - I didn't fall asleep until almost five and slept till noon. I've been scurrying about ever since. I realize that when I'd write a new What If in the old days of One from Column A I would obviously share it. While I don't want to do that in the notes, I'm happy to do it here on the message board if anyone would like to see it.

I had a patty melt and five onion rings for my meal o' the day, and picked up some packages, including the new Li'l Abner poster and a new book about musicals from the 1970s - Nudie Musical is lovingly written about, has a nice long section and the author asked me a lot of questions and the answers are all there. The book, from Bear Manor Media, is chockfull of typos - that seems to be the rage these days - no one proofs anything anymore, and Bear Manor Media positions itself as a "real" publisher and therefore they should know better than not to have proofing done. Then again, the book is over eight hundred pages long.

For lunch today, I had mac and cheese. It was called "the Gilroy" (named after the town of Gilroy, garlic capital of America, I believe)....creamy white cheddar, tangy pecorino and roasted garlic with macaroni noodles. It was YUMMILICIOUS, but it was too much. Oh, yes. I stopped short of licking the bowl because I was popping like a well-fed tick.

I had also bought a salad. It was called "the Freshman". It's lettuce with black olives, feta cheese and artichoke hearts. It remains unmolested and will be din-din should I be able to partake of din-din. As of right now, din-din will be on hold until breakfast.

All of this came from a restaurant called "Home Room", which has become one of the local dining hot spots for folks who love this kind of food.

It has been a busy Thursday. It has been a busy week.

Tomorrow may be a busy Friday, but for me, it will only last until Noon.

Tonight: "Project Runway" returns to Lifetime.

I hope someone here, other than me, watches this season.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #58 on:** August 06, 2015, 04:00:06 PM »

I watched the 10-episode "Wayward Pines" with an all-star cast on Fox TV. It was, mostly, done extremely well and kept me returning.

And then, in the last episode, it totally let me down in a major way. And don't ask me what I thought of the derivatively twisted ending.

I said don't ask!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #59 on:** August 06, 2015, 04:00:49 PM »

In truth, I had read some discouraging comments about the conclusion and waited two weeks to watch the finale.

This happened last night.

Would that it hadn't.
