We are discovering that of the food choices I am offering her from Fancy Feast, she likes beef, chicken and turkey bits the best. The seafood is crashing and burning. She refused to deal with the tuna, wailing until I offered something else, and today she said no to cod and shrimp.

T.O.D.

I just got a review copy of the Criterion release of Orson Welles' OTHELLO, so I'll probably watch that.

Want a signed, free copy of my new novel, JACKIE GOES TO DIXIE?

Then, go to Goodreads and sign up for the "raffle". You might just win.

Or, if you're not into raffles, you can purchase JACKIE GOES TO DIXIE on Amazon, where it's available in paperback, on Kindle, or as an audio download, brilliantly read by the very talented Fred Frees.

Am I the only person in the USA who is not interested in seeing HAMILTON?

I am not a fan of Rap music.

I heard the entire score of HAMILTON when it was first released, and it did nothing for me.

Maybe when the movie comes out...

Good morning, all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #36 on:** October 06, 2017, 08:14:00 AM »

Sorry to hear about the racket going on in Amoeba. A BK Amoeba report would have been most welcome.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #37 on:** October 06, 2017, 08:15:39 AM »

I still picture the interior of the Pantages as the movie palace it was in the 1970s.

Ah well...

ChasSmith · « **Reply #38 on:** October 06, 2017, 08:28:41 AM »

I think it's time for a kitty picture.

Don't you?

This is little Poe when just a few months old, and my girl Taffy at about age twelve.

Woops, it's very tiny. I think you can click to enlarge.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #39 on:** October 06, 2017, 08:30:41 AM »

I need to scan a couple of the North Shore era ones. More later.

FJL · « **Reply #40 on:** October 06, 2017, 09:03:48 AM »

Is Annabelle's name an homage to Poe's name that I somehow skipped over?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #41 on:** October 06, 2017, 09:08:25 AM »

That's a good question.

Our Poe is most definitely an homage.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #42 on:** October 06, 2017, 09:11:23 AM »

So, here's little Muffin, and her sister Taffy, upon arriving home from North Shore Animal League in late November 1990 at an estimated six weeks old. They're still wearing their NSAL tags, where they'd been temporarily nicknamed Peanut Butter and Jelly.

If these aren't visible to those not logged in, sorry about that, but I've been finding Photobucket abominably difficult and time consuming to deal with lately, and adding these as attachments is just easier. I'll try to do better.

Just saw that Ghostlight/Sh-K-Boom has re-released BK’s recording of You Never Know.

Just had a nice bowl of ramen for lunch.

Fascinating BK notes on his take on HAMILTON.

Yes, they were. I enjoy listening to the score, but I doubt if I have the patience for three hours of it in the theater.

Ditto. But I did enjoy this video of the Hamilton cast and their Opening Number Homage to Sweeney Todd.

George · « **Reply #47 on:** October 06, 2017, 11:22:45 AM »

I really enjoyed reading BK's opinions/impressions of Hamilton. I've only listened to the CD once or twice. I probably should at least try it again.

Ahh...one of the many "joys" of cat parenting.

When you click on the links on Sh-K-Boom's website, it only takes you to places to purchase downloadable MP3s. They didn't reissue the physical CD.

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.

Still on the hunt again for a boy - the one we cast has a "manager" who doesn't want him to do the show because he's been going up for big parts (not getting them, mind you) - well, okay then.

bk · « **Reply #53 on:** October 06, 2017, 11:46:44 AM »

The You Never Know thing is what it was. I've been advising the director of the show on this for two years on how to get this back. He decided it was more worth his while to go with Ghostlight because they're distributed by WEA now. Of course, one could take the position that with digital sales it matters not who distributes - we had a little volley of e-mails, but it's his to do with as he pleases.

bk · « **Reply #54 on:** October 06, 2017, 11:48:24 AM »

My only temptation to go back to Hamilton, which I'd only do if it were free and I was sitting in a similar seat, would be to hear the audience reaction at the top and during the pre-show - just to hear if it was exactly the same as last night's. It sounded so canned to me.

bk · « **Reply #55 on:** October 06, 2017, 11:49:04 AM »

As to the rap in Hamilton - I hate rap, but here it's used as the storytelling device and at least it has actual music behind it.

Jane · « **Reply #56 on:** October 06, 2017, 12:16:51 PM »

DR George I strongly urge you to keep Neve as an indoor cat, especially the first 3 months. It is after moves that people often lose their cats.

Jane · « **Reply #57 on:** October 06, 2017, 12:19:07 PM »

DR TCB, I am glad you didn't miss the service. My condolences to you and your friend.

That's what I was planning. I could let her out into my little backyard because it's totally enclosed and has high fences. She's 14 years old, so she's too old to jump or climb up anything.

Aww, and yes it did enlarge when I clicked on it.
