DR Singdaw what is the deal with your rapidly changing avatar?

singdaw · « **Reply #61 on:** October 11, 2020, 04:04:31 PM »

Trying to find the right balance between highbrow and lowbrow. I think I've settled on it now.

I did not take a nap this afternoon, so hoping sleep will be better tonight.

Just saw some photos of Butchart Gardens (Victoria, Canada) in autumn glory. Stunning!

From the sublime to the ridiculous, I suppose.

You can "like" Butchart Gardens on FB.

If you like molded salads, I'm not sure what you can do.

Yum. Are there lima beans or sardines floating in there?

Looking at recipes on the Internet.

So far, "apple slab pie" and "salted caramel pretzel blondies" have caught my eye.

I think it's anchovies.

From DR George yesterday "Matthew (and anyone else interested), did you know that ALW started to write a version of Aspects of Love in the early 1980s with Tim Rice? When that didn't happen, Trevor Nunn wrote some lyrics, and a couple of YouTube videos are out there:

"I Don't Talk to Strangers," with lyrics by Tim Rice (this was an actual released recording)

"Married Man," with Trevor Nunn lyrics, performed live on The Merv Griffin Show

When THAT didn't happen, most of the music went into the version of The Phantom of the Opera that everyone now knows (plus a little Fanciulla del West.

"

Yes I did know that. Tim Rice thought he was working on Aspects of Love and all of a sudden the melodies he set were in another show! He was quite surprised. I'd never heard "I Don't Talk to Strangers" before, thank you for posting that!

Today, I went to church, as usual. Pretty uneventful. The 10:00am mass is back in the church again, so that was fun. It's been in the school yard since June. Now that school is back, we are back into church. I'm sure if anything changes, school will be back at Distance Learning and we will again take over the school yard. Hopefully that wont happen. After church, I went to the shops and made grooming appointments for the boys for next Sunday, went to Cost Plus hoping to find cool fall-type snacks, and was totally disappointed, so I went to Target and picked up moving materials. Came home, relaxed and now I'm getting ready for the evening and the Kritzerland show.

We watched a very well done and very disturbing documentary on Netflix this afternoon called The Social Dilemma. It's about how social media is changing society, and how the "customers" are the advertisers and we, the "users," are the product. Highly recommended.

I have this on my watch list. But not sure when I will get to it. It sounds interesting.

Jennifer · « **Reply #77 on:** October 11, 2020, 04:34:25 PM »

My favorite thing that I have watched on netflix this month is Emily in Paris. So fun and funny. I loved it.

Ten minutes to show time. Places!

THANK YOU, PLACES.

Ugh - as usual, my tech is not behaving. I don't want to be late!

singdaw · « **Reply #85 on:** October 11, 2020, 06:24:14 PM »

And that's a wrap. Fantastic show!

Thank you to bk and all the folk that participated and made it happen.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #87 on:** October 11, 2020, 06:25:06 PM »

That was a great show! Well, not quite a "show", as such, but it was so good it kind of felt like one. Well done by all concerned.

Ginny · « **Reply #88 on:** October 11, 2020, 06:25:26 PM »

Loved the interviews, BK!
