Well, you've read the notes, the notes were the longest notes, and now it is time for you to post until the longest cows come home.

And now, I need to go to sleep because I want to (try to) get to work a little earlier than usual so that I can leave early.  I'm going to meet my friend Hannah at the Olympia Little Theatre and help her create the audio sound board for the play that she's directing, Men on Boats by Jaclyn Backhas (which has no men in the cast).  They open on Thursday and I'm really looking forward to seeing it. :)

I was up earlier than usual.  I must be at my doctor's office at 8:00 for lab work.  On my way home I will stop at the market for Thatch's turkey.

And the word of the day is: SLEUTH!

My glossary says a play in which TCB gave a terrific performance!  (His co-star has grown on me with his resourceful acting, but still seems like the physical type you would leave to go to TCB's character, rather than the type the wife would leave TCB for.)

I thought Equity had put a temporary ban on lab work.

DR George, Eric Shanower and his partner David Maxine are friends.  I can never keep track of all his various Trojan War projects.

I am home from the lab work and the market.  It's too cold a morning to be hobbling about the Upper West Side.  I can now have my first cuppa coffee today.

I've always liked -- even loved -- Morricone scores, but as a general rule, his output has never taken a solid recognizable hold on my music loving awareness like that of other film composers.

The "Man With No Name" trilogy? Pure genius. He created a new world of sound, and I can't imagine those movies without it any more than "Psycho" without Herrmann. But after all of these years, they're the first to come to mind when I think Morricone. At the other end of his output, I loved "The Hateful Eight" but I won't remember a damned note of it until I watch it again. Loved "Cinema Paradiso", "Frantic", and others during the middle years, but I'd have to read through a filmography to jog my memory on a lot of the others.

So, did anyone watch Rent?

I had it on but I'm guilty of only paying it half my attention. I will watch my DVR capture sometime.

The Fox broadcast was rife with technical issues (including before and after the show, which is rather incredible), which -- in addition to the frantic camera work, challenging audio balances, completely batshit audience behavior, and, above all, the last-minute substitution of the final dress rehearsal tape for the live performance -- resulted in a real shit show. Pardon my français, but this was a "fail" in so many ways.

Since I've never seen the real thing, I probably need to watch that closing night performance of the Broadway run and perhaps see a regional stage production or two in order to better catch up with this iconic giant of the 1990s.
