PRETTY PLEASE WITH EXTRA SAUCE OR LOOK, IT'S AUGUST

Well, you've read the notes, the notes said pretty please with extra sauce and noted that it's August, and now it is time for you to post until the August cows come home.

I slept well and remember none of my dreams.  I woke around 12:30 to take Tizanidine, and I remember saying to Thatch, my sleeping partner, I just had the strangest dream, and by then it had faded from my memory.

Because Da Bird is a wand toy with a long wand, it's very had to put away where the cats cannot get to it.  For awhile, the safest place was to store it at the top of a CD case, with the feathered toy peeking out.  Well, both Stella and Thatch finallyt figured ouot how to retrieve it by climbing onto my computer, risking their lives bt reaching out into space, nearly knocking over the floor lamp and getting at least one claw into the feathers.

So, I turned the wand the other way, and Stella realized ther feather toy would be at the other end of the CD case.  My klitties are smart.

DR TCB, I know too well about cats and water.  The only cat I have never bathed is Annabelle.  When Thatch was first adopted, three months old and hiding from us under the bookcases, he ended up covered in roach poison.  I bathed him immediately because I was terrified he would poison himself.

I did the same with Stella over a year ago, when she tore open that bag of pesticide and was covered in it.  Yesterday, as soon as I realized how dirty and oily she was after her escapade out of the apartment, she received what I hope was her last bath.  I must say, though, her coat now looks stunning.

Last night we tried to watch The Last of Sheila.  I don't know how I missed it in the 70s since I was then, unlike now, a huge Sondheim fanatic.  I honestly do not recall its ever playing in Middletown, Cincinnati, or Dayton, or I would have seen it.  We watched for about 45 minutes when the low volume on the DVD and my inability to hear made me turn it off in disgust.  I need to watch it on the computer.

I went to The Last of Sheila a couple of times the week it opened at the Hollywood Pacific (BK's Stanley Warner) when it was still in its grand single screen glory. But for me, then, it wasn't for Sondheim. It was the cast and the fact that it was a mystery-thriller that attracted me.

After that, I probably didn't cross paths with it till I got the DVD, and I've probably only watched that once. I shall have to return to it sometime.

And the next time newspapers.com runs a freebie, we'll have to see where it played in the Middletown/Dayton vicinity.  :)

"Today is the viewing!"

The Met's schedule for next week is fairly interesting, an English-language version of the Magic Flute and Offenbach's Tales of Hoffman.
