On the previous page, DR JohnG said that the British get the pronunciations of things like Genghis Khan and Don Quixote correct.

And yet they muffle things like "oregano".

How, you may ask?

The Italians pronounce it Oh-REG-uh-NO (emphasis on the all-caps).

We Americans pronounce it the same way.

But the Brits pronounce it Oh-reh-GAH-no.

I mean...really.

We had bought the double pack of 12 rolls each of the Kings Hawaiian rolls, and I just now polished off the last three -- in the first package! Oy! But they are delicious, and I promise that the rest will not go to waste.

Making these even more of an indulgence, I had also bought Kerrygold butter which is a bit on the pricey side, and the combination is to die for. Or perhaps to die OF...

The strawberry preserves don't exactly suck, either. Oy!

It sounds yummy.

My Amazon Studio device has just informed me that Melissa McCarthy is available to tell me the weather or some jokes...for a fee, of course.

Why I would want this, Alexa did not say.

I would not want this under any circumstances...not even free.

For fillm music and film musical lovers, this afternoon at Noon, PST, La-La Land Records will begin taking orders for two rather special and unique film scores.

One is Alfred Newman's complete score to 1959's "The Diary of Anne Frank". This is the first legitimate release of the score. It will be a 2-CD set that features the complete score as heard in the film, and then the cues of the LP presentation that was issued on 20th-Fox (All You Hear is Beauty) Records.

As excited as I am about that, I am equally excited by the other: A 3-CD release of all the music from "Fiddler on the Roof". This should prover to be a stunning set...with all the cues in their original presentation. This is enormous for John Williams fans because his adaptation of the Broadway score to this film won him his first Academy Award.

Yes, it's going to be a nice day, now that I have remembered that.

I didn't know about the new Fiddler release! I think I may have to get that. Thanks for posting about it, Ron!

I first went to CastAlbums.org to see if there was a listing for the new Fiddler and there was, but I saw that there was also a new live recording of Brigadoon. It's the 2019 live Vienna cast recording on two CDs. I think I need to order that, too.

Well, I must be off. I have to shower and get dressed, then call my mom to find out when we're going to the casino.

Lucy just messed up Ricky's screen test.

Director: "We can't use the scene, but it was a lovely mazurka!"

Well, that probably does it for Lucy. She just can't stay out of trouble. Her show may get cancelled for this one!

The two titles I announced this morning are now up for sale at La-La Land Records, as well as at Screen Archives Entertainment.

So...here I sit during a LULL. I had forgotten about the HHW lulls.

One could just scrawl any old thing and no one would immediately shout you down.

Tsk.

And I am home. The Access-a-Ride trip to the doctor was right on time, so I arrived an hour early, read my book, and waited. I saw the doctor, accomplished all I needed to take care of. Nt A1C dropped from 7.2 to 6.6, so she was quite happy. I took care of my appointments and sat in the waiting area for my return trip. It was 1:00 and the ride was scheduled for 1:07.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #73 on:** November 30, 2021, 12:54:33 PM »

At 1:20 I called Access-a-Ride for status on my trip. Rgw dumbass broker had no free drivers, and I asked why the fat hell a driver hadn't been scheduled, say, before 1:07? WTF?

I'm sorry, DR elmore3003. I am glad you got there for the important part.

LULL spelled backward is LLUL.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #76 on:** November 30, 2021, 12:57:59 PM »

They told me to call back in 10 minutes for updates. Twice. Around 1:40 the AAR person on the phone suggested she cancel that trip and rebook one for 1:50. I stupidly agreed. At 2:50 I gathered my things, walked to the corner and got a taxi. As far as I know, the 1:50 ride still has not shown up.

If this is my life for 30 days of radiation, I'd just as soon let the cancer kill me.
