I wasn’t too tired to start a movie. Watched the first half hour of Asteroid City. Very Wes Anderson. Liking it.

[John G.]

Seven!

[John G.]

Blessed seven!

[John G.]

Sublime seven!

[John G.]

Superlative seven!

Franne Lee has died. Loved her costumes for the original Sweeney Todd.

[John G.]

She also created the Coneheads look on SNL.

We bought tickets to see Here We Are on November 11 at 1pm

Cool!

[George]

Franne Lee has died. Loved her costumes for the original Sweeney Todd.

Oh, no.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

[George]

Well, I bought the blood type test kit from Amazon and it arrived last week.

[George]

I just tested myself and according to this, I have A RhD Pos blood.

[George]

I don't know what this means, but at least I know what it is.

[George]

I think my mom said she has the type that makes her a universal donor, and my niece is a universal recipient.

[George]

Or that might be backwards.

[George]

I don't remember which had which type.

[George]

But I can find out the next time we're all together.

[George]

Anyway, the test kit comes with an adhesive plastic cover so that once the blood spots dry, you can cover the whole thing and keep it with you for medical purposes, like donating blood...which I've never actually done.

[George]

For "reasons."

[George]

And now...

[George]

Gratuitous Post #200!!

Well, this is pretty darned cool:

"The four little swans turned into four small frogs"

[George]

It's a Chinese production of Swan Lake, but I want to know what the rest of the ballet is like! 

[George]

Is it all done with frogs instead of swans??

[bk]

I do not care for page seven.

[bk]

Notes will be late. In the midst of doing some book stuff and have to finish.

[George]

Here's another and longer clip of the ballet, but there's aren't any frogs. 

[George]

Evidently, the ballet troupe is an acrobatic group:

Guangdong Acrobatic Troupe of China Swan Lake

Interestingly, if you sort the comments by date, this is the newest comment, from three days ago:

The lifts are impressive, and the ballerina has nice lines (though a bit over-extended to be classically beautiful). Moreover, the tricks aren’t really called for musically, and generally speaking, the musicianship of both the ballerina and the orchestra doesn’t have much nuance…they might as well be dancing to a metronome. Choreographically, it’s clever but it’s not really sensitive to the music. But as others have said, the acrobatics are excellent.

It is, of course, just one person's opinion.
