Hello. I had a computer accident.

I hope you didn’t toss it out the window.

But if she did, hoping she opened the window first.

The loss of a computer is often grounds for much mourning.

Yes it is. I prefer to get a new computer before the old one dies. Sometimes I think it has been a close call.

Anybody know of any humorous tangos along the lines of The Masochism Tango?

Jane, what did you think of that version of Nicholas Nickleby? It was the with Nathan Lane, right?

Yes. I thought the cast was wonderful and enjoyed it very much. Of course much was left out of the book which was fine. It has been too long since I read it, and I have only read it once, for me too miss anything.

I remember enjoying it a lot, too, though I was bothered in the beginning by how blond Nicholas was. After Roger Rees, I don’t see Nicholas as a blond.

I didn't make the connection until just a couple of years ago, but Charlie Hunnam who was Nicholas in that 2002 version was the young twink in the original British version of "Queer as Folk," and then went on to be the hunky hunk (lead? I never watched it) in "Sons of Anarchy." That's some range!

We recently saw him as King Arthur. I noticed over the years his hair has become a bit darker.

I've organized most of my 2017 receipts. Annabelle and Thatch had too good a time playing in the plastic shopping bag of receipts, tasting the paper of the various receipts, and behaving badly in general. Much as I love them I had to be mean and discipline them. Thatch either loves or loathes me, so he promptly ignored me, but Annabelle gave me a genuine "why did you hurt me" look that broke my heart.

Have you tried using a water spray bottle?

Someone in the Manhattan Transfer FB group posted this article about their new album!! "New cut off forthcoming LP marks first new music since passing of Tim Hauser":

JT Track Premiere: The Manhattan Transfer’s “Cantaloop (Flip Out!)”

I'm very excited about this!

Is anyone around here woke?

Jane · « **Reply #67 on:** February 07, 2018, 04:46:28 PM »

Is that a test to see if we are paying attention?

Ontrac has still not shown up. I'll drive over there around six and wait for the moron to arrive and then he will be sorry he did.

Good evening!

Bruce, I still don't understand why you don't have the food delivered to your house and put a cooler outside if needed.

bk · « **Reply #71 on:** February 07, 2018, 05:41:14 PM »

Because I'm rarely home and I'm not sure they'd leave it or that I'd want it left by the front door. I've complained to Ontrac repeatedly and they don't care. Their driver knows he has a package with perishables and he doesn't care. Why would you make a mail drop place that has specific hours of operation your LAST stop. It's just stupid and retarded. I've had this conversation with Freshly, too, and it's one of the reasons I haven't ordered from them in two months.

Jane · « **Reply #72 on:** February 07, 2018, 06:33:32 PM »

A shame since you enjoy them.

BK .. We're the signed Richard Sherman books sent yet? I never received mine

bk · « **Reply #74 on:** February 07, 2018, 07:21:18 PM »

Yes they were sent ages ago. I'll check on yours.

Even I have been fed.

I helped Joy with her swing and Argentine tango classes tonight.

For a second week, they managed to get up and dance.

I’m watching the beginning of a movie tonight. Let’s Get Lost, a documentary about Chet Baker.

John G. · « **Reply #81 on:** February 07, 2018, 08:00:36 PM »

Great black-and-white photography, great stories, great music.

John G. · « **Reply #82 on:** February 07, 2018, 08:02:51 PM »

But for a jazz movie, the director doesn’t trust the music. Baker will start a song and he’s just at the point of breaking your heart and then some talking head begins to babble over the singing or trumpet playing.

John G. · « **Reply #83 on:** February 07, 2018, 08:07:05 PM »

The movie gets to one of the leanest, loveliest versions of Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye, and the clip features the entire lyric. It’s devastating, and I’m on the verge of tears. Then Chet starts an elegiac trumpet solo, so naturally the talking starts. It stops in time for him to finish a reprise of the vocal. But why couldn’t we just have had the song?

John G. · « **Reply #84 on:** February 07, 2018, 08:08:01 PM »

I mean, why can you listen to a whole song on a CD but not in a movie?

John G. · « **Reply #85 on:** February 07, 2018, 08:12:24 PM »

It’s a sad movie because it’s all too obvious the toll that drugs had on this once-beautiful boy. His singing remained haunting, but you hear what a toll the effects of the way he lived his life took on his voice. He never lost the gift of his trumpet playing.

John G. · « **Reply #86 on:** February 07, 2018, 08:13:50 PM »

Slightly topical this week as Baker was the basis of All the Fine Young Cannibals starring Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner.

John G. · « **Reply #87 on:** February 07, 2018, 08:16:31 PM »

Where is everyone tonight?

John G. · « **Reply #88 on:** February 07, 2018, 08:16:47 PM »

Page three? Really?

John G. · « **Reply #89 on:** February 07, 2018, 08:17:01 PM »

Tell me another.
