I slept rather well last night. I woke around 2:30 after five hours of sleep, and then the cats began misbehaving around 4:30.

I had a long rambling dream in which I had a meeting with Glen Young, a rather obnoxious fellow who began a Drama Book Shop competitor on the Upper West Side around West 68th Street in the 1980s, Applause Books. The meeting was scheduled for 6:30 PM, and I was wandering around Manhattan till it was time for the meeting. I ran into Rob Berman and the two of us wandered about together. Somewhere I lost my cane and a family of French tourists offered me theirs. We ended up in a coffee shop where I watched Rob take a number of post-Covid-19 pills, and I tried to call the late John McGlinn to get him to the meeting. We finally ran into Mr Young and I woke.

I have no idea if Glen Young is still alive or not. Around 1983-84 I applied for a job at Applause Books. I had been lured away from the Drama Book Shop in 1981 with promises of better pay by a rival theatre bookshop with dreams of becoming a success, and I was looking for work again in 1983. I knew a couple of employees but I never heard anything. When I inquired about my application, I was told the job had been filled. I said to the clerk, Tell Mr Young he made two big mistakes: he never called me to tell me another person got the job and his biggest mistake was not hiring me.

I went on unemployment for a bit, worked for Theatre Books on West 42nd Street, and ended up at Classic Books on 48th Street and Sixth Avenue, a non-theatre Canadian bookshop chain I really liked. In 1985, I went back to The Drama Book Shop and stayed until 1997.

This morning I have to make a trip to my pharmacy. I will be very happy to return home to the AC.

My PUA deposit appears to be screwed up this morning, and that worries me.

I think the first film composers I became aware of were Max Steiner - GWTW was a big favorite of my mother's and I had the Warner Brothers LP of the film score - and later John Addison and John Barry because of my infatuation with the soundtracks of Tom Jones and Goldfinger.

T.O.D.

I love the music of my former publicity clients:

Paul Francis Webster and Sammy Fain
John Williams
Johnny Mandel
Leith Stevens
Ernest Gold

This pandemic thing is really starting to get to me.

You can only be "isolated" so long before you start wondering what day it is.

I've been keeping busy, working with voice actors on audio versions of my various one-person plays, but I'm running out of plays.

I guess that's why I'm starting to write a new one.

The good news is that, with everybody stuck at home, audio sales have spiked.

Well, it seems there was a glitch in the Federal Unemployment system, and they're saying the payment will land tomorrow.

I was infatuated with the Goldfinger soundtrack. It was my first Bond film (only because I hadn’t been permitted to go to the first two), and both film and soundtrack blew me away.

As far as soundtrack recordings go, that was probably one of my first ever.

And while I'm complaining about the federal government, did I actually hear the Fat Orange Slug squatting in the White House and screwing the country actually say yesterday that his new and improved SS attacking protestors in Portland will be pulling the same crap in all cities run by "liberal Democrats?" I remain agog that no one from any ethnic group or organization he's ruining or ruined has tried to kill him.

I hope so! He got a lot of brushing and cuddles from me, along with his dried salmon and shrimpies treats. Annabelle, who's been displaying a bit of jealousy lately, tried to crash his fun, but I wouldn't let her. Stella, who's half their age and twice their size - she's a big kitty! - tends to go into her own world for amusement. I think she spends too muchy time alone in the bathroom sink.

I called the pharmacy and added my eye prescriptions. I think I can head out now. They should be ready.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #27 on:** July 21, 2020, 07:36:37 AM »

And I am home, ready for a nap. Thatch is hiding in his quilt cavern now, Stella and Annabelle are somewhere.

Mine was in this morning, but there's a notice on the PUA site that they will be down for maintenance tonight. approximately 6:30 pm to 3:30 am.

They had a screw-up the week before last, wherein some people (yrs truly, for example) didn't get taxes withheld. That was fixed this past week.
