And speaking of cats, this looks pretty cool:  Wicked Ball - Your Pet's Joy when Home Alone!  I just contributed to get one for Neve. :D

It looks like fun.  I hope Neve likes it.

Me, too!

DR ELMORE have you used the old Ping Pong Ball in the bathtub trick for your kitties?

An empty tub, right?

Slow afternoon at work from home. I have squeezed in two episodes of A Place to Call Home. Lugubrious.

BK

When a cast album is produced does  the recording company bear all the expense and keep all the profits or do the play producers bear all the expense and get a cut of the profits to defray expense  (I assume here that the recording company controls the profit share but what do I know?)


In the old days it was always the record company that paid everything, and the producers and grand rights' holders got a percentage of sales AFTER recoupment - and the way standard industry recoupment works they usually never saw a penny of royalties unless the album sold a 500,000 copies or something.  That all changed with Amour - and I was part of that change but Kritzerland didn't quite exist yet so it went to another label.  Suddenly the producers were paying for the albums and the record companies were acting as distributors, basically, taking a percentage of sales.  So the tables turned.  In the last year or so, they're turning back because Decca got back into the game and are paying again.  Who knows where it will all go - most don't sell very well.

And then mostly on the phone with Apple Support.  We nuked the main AOL mailbox and reloaded it, and then it had to go through downloading all the saved messages from years ago, so that took quite a while and the activity window isn't cleared yet so it's either still doing something or it's frozen, so I can't do anything until two-thirty, at which point the senior tech will call me and if it's still where it's been for the past hour, then we'll go on from there.

Well, my landlord has struck.  While I was out, between 4:30 and 5:15, a process server taped an eviction notice to my door.  Of course itv arrives after all offices are closed for the day, so I do not know where I now stand with the NY Housing Court, and I may have missed my appeal date because the notice claims it was served on May 1, and I only have five days after receipt to appeal.

I'm scared beyond belief, and absolutely furious because I have kept my landlord updated on all the financial crunch issues with the rent since last August, and there have been few responses to my emails, which led me to assume that things were not so serious.  What's even more irritating is that as of this moment, my rent payments were up to date and I mailed my June rent payment this morning.

Mail thing is still not completing itself - the guy is calling back at four-thirty and we'll go from there, but it's now been three-and-a-half hours.

My lovely lesbian neighbors on Five offered to contact a friend who's a real estate lawyer.  I sent the attorney for my landlord an email, cc'd to my Property Manager, with the information about the rent checks, their numbers, and the dates they cleared my bank.  I'm paid up through June, and I mailed that rent this morning so I will remain a month ahead from now on.  We'll see how the attorney responds.

Click here if you are curious how well your local hospital rates

Our hospital received a grade D.  I find this scary.  The other local hospital received a B.  Maybe we should have stayed in the Ashland area as all of the hospitals there received As.

I am pleased the hospital in Chicago that Bryan works at received an A.

The tech guy called back - it was still not moving or anything, so he made the executive decision to quit mail and relaunch, which we did.  Then it started the whole downloading process again.  It did the first mailbox very quickly while we were on the phone, but now it's doing the 108,000 others that are saved or in other accounts, I guess.  That's moving along slowly but surely.  He'll call me at eleven-thirty tomorrow and his hope is that this time it will complete and then everything should begin working again in terms of synching.

Had my Wacky Noodles - good batch - then watched Fosse/Verdon - this episode is right out of All That Jazz and while it's aping that it's quite dreary and a bore.  But a couple of the scenes that were quiet and between two people were okay.  But there is no joy in this show at all - I think any hope of that has sailed long ago and it all comes down to the way they're presenting Fosse.
