Then I heard about the lousy service, the cold food, no conversation (well with that music how could there be?)

So that's where I've been

And now , because I can, I am eating that seven layer cake (vanilla with mocha icing) and drinking a cup of decaf

Finally finished with tonight's painstaking work - figuring out and notating every change between the play and film versions of Dial 'M' for Murder. Certain cuts they made are very helpful and I'll be doing some of those, too - and certain small additions of dialogue to hit home plot points are also very helpful in the film, so I'll probably add one or two of those. Now that it's all notated I can pick and choose between them - it's all by Frederick Knott so I'm fine doing it.

Listening to the new CD release of Stavisky - better than all the other CD releases, which had some moron at CAM reversing the channels and putting the violins on the right - that's been corrected here. I gather the recording itself was not exactly ever great. But I'm still surprised by how buried the sax is in the opening track - clearly it's the lead instrument but you wouldn't know that. I wish I still had my original LP because my memory of that is that it was much more prominent there.

Then again, memory is a funny thing.

Good evening!

TCB · « **Reply #129 on:** April 29, 2017, 11:09:31 PM »

BK, Google was wrong. I can't finish reading a book when I can't stay awake to read.

TCB · « **Reply #130 on:** April 29, 2017, 11:10:40 PM »

This is one nasty cold and sore throat.

TCB · « **Reply #131 on:** April 29, 2017, 11:12:50 PM »

I had to skip going to see the play tonight.

TCB · « **Reply #132 on:** April 29, 2017, 11:13:32 PM »

My cough is uncontrollable.

TCB · « **Reply #133 on:** April 29, 2017, 11:14:52 PM »

I probably couldn't have driven myself to the theater, anyway.

TCB · « **Reply #134 on:** April 29, 2017, 11:31:56 PM »

Whoa. I had another coughing spell.

TCB · « **Reply #135 on:** April 29, 2017, 11:33:58 PM »

Maybe I should audition for a remake of CAMILLE?

TCB · « **Reply #136 on:** April 29, 2017, 11:35:41 PM »

Maybe I should just shut-up and go to sleep.

Well, I must now be leaving. Today, as part of Olympia's semi-annual Arts Walk, there will be the Procession of the Species. I'll be volunteering at the WCPA (mostly just for crowd control), so I'll get to see it since it walks right by the front of the Center!

Be back later

Well, I ended up being watch guard at the top balcony lobby area.

There were some very nice pieces of art up there.

George · « **Reply #139 on:** April 30, 2017, 12:01:33 AM »

There were a couple that I really liked.

George · « **Reply #140 on:** April 30, 2017, 12:01:58 AM »

I should've taken pictures of them.

George · « **Reply #141 on:** April 30, 2017, 12:02:23 AM »

I didn't even think of that.

George · « **Reply #142 on:** April 30, 2017, 12:03:36 AM »

I didn't bring my Kindle, but I did download to my phone's Kindle app an e-book that I bought from Amazon.

George · « **Reply #143 on:** April 30, 2017, 12:06:16 AM »

It's called Ghosts on the Highway.

George · « **Reply #144 on:** April 30, 2017, 12:06:45 AM »

It's written by a co-worker of mine!

George · « **Reply #145 on:** April 30, 2017, 12:07:14 AM »

I think it's his first published full-length novel.

Here's the synopsis:

Quote

Lost in the desert, alone and off his meds, John Kalama just wants to get back to what's left of his family—his grandfather, Daryl Redbear and sister, Jesse—on the Nisqually Reservation in the Pacific Northwest. But on his journey he is pursued by demons, plagued by spirits and mocked by an arrogant raven. Unsure if these visions are real or the effect of withdrawal symptoms, will they help or hinder his quest for familial reconciliation and an acceptance of his cultural heritage?

Chuck Bradley is a man tormented by demons of his own. Endlessly driving across the country, hoping to outrace his own past and appease his guilty conscience, his life as a loner comes to a screeching halt when his path crosses with John's.

Together the two of them confront their deepest fears and test the bonds of friendship as the highway carries them through a landscape more alive than either had previously realized.

I've only read 14%, but it's pretty good, so far.

George · « **Reply #148 on:** April 30, 2017, 12:10:32 AM »

After watching the parade, the volunteer shift that I was on was finished. The next set of volunteers showed up.

And since we're so close...
