Well, you've read the notes, the notes had twelve tones, and now it is time for you to post until the twelve-tone cows come home.

Whose murder?

The murder that was announced in A Murder is Announced.

And now, I'm off to perform my evening ablutions, then I'll hie myself to bed so that I can be bright-eyed and bushy tailed for this afternoon's inspecting performance.

Have a good day, all!

Good morning, friends.

Looks like hijinks ensued here last night.

That's always good.

Had strange dreams which I can no longer recall.

The Dramatist Guild Quarterly's "Sondheim" issue arrived in yesterday's mail. Haven't had a chance to peruse it yet.

BK, are you considering purchasing the new Mitropoulos box set?

Good morning, all!

It was not a good night of sleep. After two hours of leg pains, I took a tramadol and fell asleep just before midnight. I had a couple of dreams that I no longer remember.

Annabelle and Thatch are very good sleeping partners, but Stella is impossible. She needs constant attention and reassurance she is loved. When she feels slighted, she butts my hands, tries to force my hands to pet her, and climbs all over me. Much as I love her, there's never enough affection to fill that void.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 23, 2022, 04:26:42 AM »

Today I will work on my score. First I will erase all of Thatch's "improvements." Before that, I need to assemble the laundry for tomorrow morning. At some point, I need to open hte trunk and drag out the comforter for the winter.

My left eyeball, the object of last Monday's surgery, is itching like mad this morning. The eyedrops are doing nothing to calm things down.

Good morning, all.

Itchy eyeball relief vibes for DR Elmore.

I think this is the first time I've heard of that being an after-effect. But itching elsewhere has always meant healing, so there you are.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #20 on:** October 23, 2022, 05:28:32 AM »

I wish I'd been savvy enough to start acquiring those box sets years ago. It's too late now. I do have a great six-eye copy of the original Webern LP box, and some of the related releases from back in the day.

As for Webern, do I love his music? No. But I can enjoy hearing it, partly for the memories it evokes of my school years and learning a few pieces then, and partly just in the way BK is doing it.

Edit: I'd forgotten about Marni Nixon being part of that. A good reminder.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #21 on:** October 23, 2022, 05:36:03 AM »

Closing night saw a couple of weird things happening, but it was a fine performance and the audience was with it all the way, even through the little gaffes. It was still a rewarding end to a very successful run ... said run itself having been a bloody miracle after the casting and rehearsal conflict difficulties.

I might have a couple of additional pieces of photographic evidence later. Waiting on some email.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #22 on:** October 23, 2022, 05:44:59 AM »

I have a couple of hours to relax, then it's back to the theeder to take all of my gear out of there.

And then, because I've been such a good boy and no good deed goes unpunished, I have a rehearsal for Smorgasbord! this evening.

And then -- yes, this is an additional then -- I'm back there tomorrow to let the drummer in and help him remove his stuff. Followed by ... (you guessed it, you clever people) ... a rehearsal.

Kitty cleanup is finished and the laindry set for tomorrow. Now I need to make the bed and take the trash to the basement.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #24 on:** October 23, 2022, 06:13:38 AM »

DR ChasSmith, I have got to get a lot of books out of this apartment. If I were to order 10 storage boxes, I wonder if you might be able to devote a day to come in, help me fill the cartons, and cart them away for me? I'm sure several Connecticut librariers are awaiting such an arrival with sheer delight!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #25 on:** October 23, 2022, 06:28:39 AM »

I am up, and somewhat at it.

Have not had my coffee yet, so...

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #26 on:** October 23, 2022, 06:30:15 AM »

Gazing out of my window near my desk, I see a dazzlingly beautiful morning. Temperature is 53 degrees, and it's supposed to get up to 76 degrees! Yay!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #27 on:** October 23, 2022, 06:31:17 AM »

In a couple of hours, I shall venture out to Third Generation to get my lunch. Then it's back home to eat and then Zoom chat with some film music friends.
