Well, you've read the notes, the notes were both stultifying and stupefying, and now it is time for you to post until the stultified and stupefied cows come home.

Forgot to mention we watched "Will and Harper" the other day on Netflix. A road trip documentary with Will Ferrell and the former head writer of Saturday Night Live, who now identifies as transgender. Difficult in spots, but ultimately uplifting.

Good morning, all!

I slept rather well until Stella got into her "OMG, no one loves me so please broadly exhibit your affection for me NOW!" mode and made my life hell for some time as she climbed all over me, forcing her face into my hands. Annabelle says that Stella thinks I'm her mother.

It was all rather irritating, since all I wanted to do was sleep and Stella was preventing that for at least an hour.

At 6:00 the alarm rangand I decided I wanted to sleep in. Annabelle crawled under the blankets with me, Thatch curled up in the curvew iof my back, and Stella noisily romped about the apartment. I did doze off since it was 7:03 wjen I checked the clock and got out of bed and dressed.

I missed the fact that yesterday was Leonard's birthday? He's so beautiful.

Yesterday, I only received 206 emails, about 90% of them political.

DR singdaw, I did see the Cast Recording List emails about Life Begins at 8:40. This project was too ugly and too deceitful to want to go back and discuss:
1. my music prep team and I were sacked by the Library of Congress after I requested the unprepared and maladroit conductor be replaced by a competent one; I suggested Rob Berman.
2. I asked to be removed from the credits.
3. The conductor and his "director" included material that was never to my knowledge put into the score and the new material was orchestrated by Glen Daum.
4. I wasn't at the concert before the recording, but I was told the conductor was stil unprepared.
5. The inept and maladroit conductor was replaced halfway through the recording and conductor Eric Stern finished the recording.
6. It should have been a 2-CD set.

The turmoil of 2009-2010 work on that score still rankles. What hurts even more is that I kept my music prep team working between 2007 and 2014 with projects like the Chicago Humanities Festival, and, now that I need work, I'm never asked to work on any of their projects.

What a lot of unpleasantness! Sorry, DR elmore3003.

Is this a poll?

In regard to that:
This was in the Ben Brantley interview with Patti LuPone and Mia Farrow.
"Both women said they have many regrets. 'Only a sociopath would have no regrets,' Farrow said. 'That song, ‘Non, je ne regrette rien’? Impossible!'”

Lots of weird dreams, including one in which I am driving backwards and can't stop.

I did, too! I got caught up in unpleasant memories and forgot about Sondheim and Todd.
