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

And the word of the day is: AUTONOMOUS!

George · « **Reply #2 on:** May 22, 2020, 12:47:26 AM »

Topic of the Day: I have to rerecord all three VHS tapes of my dad's trip to the Ukraine because of typos. When he wrote on the VHS labels, he misspelled some names and I didn't think to look them up, so I just used his spellings. After I burned the DVD (one DVD for the three VHS tapes), I deleted the files on my DVD burner. Then, I looked up one word because I'd never heard of this place and his spelling of it was not correct. If I hadn't deleted the files, I could've just fixed the spellings and reburned the DVD, but no...I had to delete the whole files. So, now I have to rerecord all three VHS tapes back onto my DVD burner because I hate it when I have typos in DVDs that I make.

About the article about Fancy Feast that Larry posted yesterday...I have fed Neve (and Ebonie) Fancy Feast, but I haven't in probably a month. I've been giving her Friskies Paté, some Extra Gravy varieties and some all-natural dry stuff, but I hadn't gotten around to getting more FF. My niece pretty much only feeds her cats FF, so I'll have to ask her how they're doing.

Well, I'm off to bed. I'm going to my parents' house today and need to get there earlier than I really want to.

Have a good day, all!

I had a good night opf sleep until around 3:30, when Stella decided to explore my bed table and brought down a glass of water and the lamp with a crash. There was only a little bit of water in the glass, and the lamp luckily still works, but I was not happy. As soon as I went back to bed, Stella was back in my bed and snuggling up to me.

This could be a crazy morning. I have a p\hone discussion at 10, a food delivery any time between 9:00 and 10, and I need to call Suad with my unemployment hours.

Last night I watched Chimes At Midnight, which I'm still pondering. The Wars of the Roses fascinates me, and I really love Shakespeare's Henry V, but my problem with all the history plays, since there are large number of characters to keep track of, I usually feel I am at another's family reunion where I know only a few people, and I spend the time trying to figure oput the relationships with no guidance.

So, I enjoyed the film - the back and white photography is beautiful - and the performances, although I did not recognize John Gielgud as Henry IV until late in the movie. I liked Margaret Rutherford as Mistress Quickly and Alan Webb as Shallow, and I wondered why Jeanne Moreai was cast as Doll Tearsheet and if she were dubbed. As to the screenplay, it seems to mainly be the Falstaff scenes from Henry IV Parts 1 and 2, with enough of the remainder of the plays for continuity and then a bit of Henry V for Mistress Quickly's account of Falstaff's death.

The last part of the film, from the new King Henry V's rejection and banishment to Falstaff's death is quite heartbreaking. Welles is a good Falstaff and I liked Keith Baxter as Prince Hal.

Well, DR Elmore, you already posted more than I remembered about the movie. (And how did I not think to mention Margaret Rutherford?)

Better put this one on the watch pile. Better yet, establish a separate Shakespeare watch pile. That’s been a plan of mine for a while now.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #15 on:** May 22, 2020, 05:03:46 AM »

I don’t think I’d even heard of Big Eyes before today’s notes.

DR Vixmom, I am so hoping this caregiver works out and gives you a break from the notorious and quite common CFPCLRM (Caring For Parents Can Lead To Murder) Syndrome. I loved and miss my dad enormously, but my last year of his cancer was enough to drive anyone mad! When it was over, I suffered and still suffer from vWSBSDB (Wish Sibling and Bitch Sister-in-law Dead and Buried) Syndrome.

I spent too much time in the 1990s on regional theatre jobs reading histories of England, 1300-1600.

Kitty cleanup is done, market trip accomplished, and I need to make the bed. At 9:30 I will call Suad, and then deal with my phone call. It's about a projected book on the late New York State Theatre Institute.

I was misinformed yesterday.

I'd been told that it would be a week or more before the paperback version would join the Kindle version of BUD ABBOTT ALONE for sale on Amazon.

Yet, this morning, both versions are now available.

Sorry about that.

It was after Henry Ford began manufacturing the Model T that the United States became AUTONOMOUS.
