Well, you've read the notes, the notes were Ernest, and now it is time for you to post until the Ernest cows come home - earnestly.

I listened to a few tracks from Miranda and Davis's Warriors on streaming and really enjoyed it. If they have the CD at Target I'll probably pick it up very soon.

I slept well, and the cats behaved. That's all I need.

I'm back to Baby June and those newsboys today. At some point I need to put together an Amazon Fresh order.

I'm eagerly awaiting the rain they've been talking about. The last measurable rain at my house was August 22.

I'm going to meet my friend at a plant sale this morning at a place where one must have tickets to attend.

I'm sure they can't beat the prices from yesterday's sale. So I doubt I'll buy anything. Unless they have something really unusual that I want.

Weird dreams. I dreamed I was at a party celebrating Django Unchained and a bunch of the cast was there, including Jonah Hill, who was nice and nearly unrecognizable since his weight loss. Somehow, a former boss was disappointed with me because I had retired, which sent a negative message to those who weren't able to. But she was interested in my doing freelance work.

Somehow I was also dinged for not being supportive of the business where the party was because I would not take a decorated cookie they were handing out. I took it, threw it away, and it was found and returned to me. I knew the cookie was terrible and just didn't want it.

That sounds like fun

The one dream I know I had is but a dying echo...it will not come into focus...but I think it's one of those that might surprise me later with a "Here I am!!!"

Last night I took out the DVD of a little film called 11:14 that I think is really clever and enjoyable when I see it every five years or so. I wasn't sure I'd watch it all, but I did.

I'm a sucker for films that play with time, or use it, or some working of it, as the very building block of what's happening.

Later, for something to fall asleep to, I found the Lauren Bacall movie The Fan (1981) on TCM. I'd never seen it, and I'd already missed the first 20 minutes or so but I thought that probably wouldn't matter since the gist of it was so obvious.

And... Oh My God, did it ever not matter. What a piece of schlock. The more I stared at it, the worse it got. I managed to zone out for the ending, but I never need to see another minute of it again. Poor Bacall, who apparently disowned it after all was said and done. And Maureen Stapleton, who I always like. And James Garner, who might as well have phoned it in.

BK write in last night's posts:
"Is there gaslighting going on?"

Probably not. There are indeed 382 Guests reading this Board, so HHW really IS on the way to becoming the most popular site on the internet.

It feels to some chatterati elsewhere like GYPSY is revived on Broadway all the time, but looking back at ibdb, it actually has been more than 15 years since the most recent Broadway revival (2008-2009).

Plant Sale.....get your tickets early.

Freddie · « **Reply #25 on:** October 18, 2024, 07:57:58 AM »

Maybe it feels like a short time because before the 2008-2009 revival, there was the Broadway revival in 2003-2004, which must have been seen as a short time between Broadway GYPSY revivals.

Here's ibdb's listing of Broadway GYPSY revivals.
https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-show/gypsy-4135

And maybe figuring in the perception, the Imelda Staunton 2015 London GYPSY revival was shown on screens here in the U.S. as well.

And Mr. Gold & Ms. Nixon's son is Andrew Gold who wrote 'Lonely Boy' and 'Thank You For Being A Friend.'

I just got a 15% off your entire purchase coupon from Ollie's, so I shall go there next week and see if I can find anything I want.

Was "Thank You For Being A Friend" written for GOLDEN GIRLS?

I could look it up, but it generates more posts to post about it.
