TOD:

I must boast of a kinship with Bruce's love of Main Titles.   All the ones he mentioned are first-rate and ideal for my kind of YouTube surfing.

I would be remiss, however, if I didn't add one of the most spectacular main titles I have ever seen, both visually and musically:  "The Fall of the Roman Empire".  The artist who did the titles is named Maciek Pietrowski. The music is by Dimitri Tiomkin.

"55 Days at Peking" is pretty awesome, as well.  Ditto "The Big Country".

Didn't Geraldine Page win an Oscar for A Trip To Aiken?

[Jrand74]

Good choices DR RON PULLIAM.

[Jrand74]

And this.....with a nifty Neal Hefti main title.

I don't think so, but she should at least have made the film.

[Jrand74]

Yes, it's the effort that counts.

[Jrand74]

Not many items for the lobby display case, so I was going to have a large cast photo printed.....went to WalMart and all the photo kiosks were down....and out.  The young man with RED RED RED dyed hair suggested that I go to Meijer.

I went there and looked around.....finally asked a young girl who was putting socks on a shelf.....and she said "We ain't got that no more."

So then I went to Walgreens....where I put my order in....and it's supposed to be ready at 11:12 a.m.

I went ahead a got it larger and on fiberboard so I don't have to buy a frame or anything.

Note to BK: 

Let me know if you didn't receive something I sent you about 45 minutes ago, and I'll resend. My Gmail is behaving very strangely this morning.

[Ron Pulliam]

Yes, it's the effort that counts.

I always appreciate the amount of effort you expend.  NOW...would you please use some to explain your "rehearsal" woes from last night?

[Matthew]

Good Morning - thanks for the comments on the new avatar - it was taken on Monday.  Yesterday - nothing went correctly.  I'm hoping today will be more productive. 

[John G.]

I miss title sequences. I remember silly ones like A Funny Thing … and great Hitchcock ones, like Vertigo. Saul Bass was the best. West Side Story was also great.

[John G.]

Blood sugar is high this morning. Not good.

It's Thursday morning, but my brain keeps trying to convince me that it is Friday.

I slept the sleep of the righteous last night.  My head hit my pillow at 11 p.m and I awoke at 7 a.m.  That had me rushing to the bathroom to take my daily dose of Prednisone which must be taken between 4 and 7 a.m.

I was back in bed after that, and slept until 10 a.m.   I feel refreshed and somewhat alert at this time.   

Larry:  I wish I could share some of my AC with you.  I know how miserable heat and humidity can make you feel, especially with health issues.  Prayers are offered up that your unit gets repaired/replaced by day's end.

That's a very kind wish. Thank you!

Access-a-Ride was a complete 180 degree turn from yesterday's hell. I see Dr Potters in six months and my PSA result was spectacular.

[elmore3003]

I loved the main titles for the film of Flower Drum Song, and the most recent one I remember is the wonderfully funny animation for Bette Midler's Ruthless People.

[Jane]

DR Singdaw, there was popcorn.  I forgot to mention it before signing off.

[John G.]

Yay.

[Jane]

DR George you carry your vaccination cards with you?  We only travel with ours.

[Jane]

We keep copies of our vaccination cards on our phones.

[John G.]

I bought a bag of citrus and cayenne potato chips the other day in the clearance bin. They’re actually pretty good, which means I will never get them again.

[Jane]

DR George, more to do in the show.  It was good you stayed.

[Jane]

Cute.

[Ron Pulliam]

Ain't that the way it always is!

Fritos once issued a "roasted corn" version of its chips.  Of all the varieties of Fritos, including the originals, that version was the best I ever had.

And, it was limited and, apparently, not to be repeated.

Sigh.

[Jane]

DR GEORGE I always hang around at rehearsals, too, when I'm in a play....and I usually also get asked to do something extra....more stage time!

Is that why you hang around or you simply enjoy doing so?

[Jane]

Congrats on sleeping well.  I guess you will be setting an alarm every night until the prednisone is completed.

[Jane]

I have another appointment in Aiken today...at 2:40 p.m., I see an orthotics specialist who will make molds of my feet to prepare orthotic inserts for my shoes removing the pressure on the balls of my feet which ignite my callous growth.

I don't mind this at all, but it's another trip to Aiken hot on the heels of yesterday's. 

Good vibes you find your orthotic inserts comfortable.

[Jane]

Good Morning - thanks for the comments on the new avatar - it was taken on Monday.  Yesterday - nothing went correctly.  I'm hoping today will be more productive. 

I hope you have a more productive day, though yesterday was good since you got that nice new avatar up.

[vixmom]

Vibes for everybody!

[ChasSmith]

A little while ago I took a walk down to the street to pull the trash can back up to the house (yesterday was trash pickup day) before we got into the heat of the afternoon. I figured I'd "enjoy" the five-minute walk in the heat, to get the flavor of it.

Well, I didn't quite get to the point of breaking a sweat, since half the walk is in shade, but...

WOW.

[ChasSmith]

To reward myself, I made two (count 'em) egg-bacon-cheese sandwiches (on small buns) that would have done vixmom proud.  Beyond delicious.
