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

Topic of the Day:

Color:
Definitely The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, but the first movie I thought of is The Fall, starring Lee Pace. There are several other movies called "The Fall," but this one is beautiful.

Black and White:
Metropolis
Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans

Hybrid:
The Wizard of Oz

Fifteen pages done and I think I fixed everything I needed to fix.

After the loust night before. last night was amazing. I slept almost eright hours straight before I weoke around 4:15 for a bathroom break. I went back to sleep unril the alarm rang at 5:30. This morning I had a lot of cleanup after Stella had three - 3! count 'em 3! - hairball incidents. It was gross.

So . . . today I need to finish the bathroom cleanup of the mess the plumbers left me and take the trash and recyclables to the basement. Then I will return to the iTunes mess. I'm still on the A's. The iTunes creators are so stupid. The mp3 files for an album are not on the computer's hard drive by title or song title. No sir, they are under the artist's name, so a cast abum or opera with 2-6 singers needs to be rebuit from a number of entries. My 2012 recording of Dearest Enemy has to be rebuit from these files:
Kim Criswell, Annalene Beechy
Kim Cruswell, Philip O'Reilly
Kim Criswell, Philip O'Reilly, John Molloy, Joe Corbett, Men's Chorus
Kim Criswell, Ladies' Chorus
Annalene Beechy, James Cleverton
Annabele Beechy, Ladies
Annabele Beechy, Rachel Kelly
James Cleverton, Men's Chorus
James Ceverton, Annabele Beechy, Ensemble
James Cleverton, Hal Cazelet
Rachel Kelly, Hal Cazelet

I'll never live to see the end of this mess. I'm now estimating this job weill take me around six months.

Another night, another bizarre dream. Good riddance to it.

On TCM last night I came in late for The Manchurian Candidate but watched to the end. Then I stayed awake for maybe half of Nightmare (1956) which seems to be a cult-like film, but I DVR'ed it so I can see it later.

Today is a real Saturday, but it feels like my fourth or fifth Saturday in a row.

Saturday. And it is 15 degrees headed for 29 degrees and less than 24 hours away from 10 inches of snow - or so.

Bk, you wrote in the notes about possible leading ladies "the only two candidates they had either don’t want to audition or think they have other gigs"

Does "don’t want to audition" mean she'd accept an offer of the part if she didn't have to audition?

Freddie · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2025, 06:22:39 AM »

Rodzinski, glad you're feeling better!

Ahh...I know you are absolutely over the moon about this. So much snow and so lovely to watch it drift from the sky and cover everything!

Or...not?

I could do some damage to an all-you-can-eat dim sum. Will there be sticky rice?

Lousy night of little sleep. I dreamt of riding horses.

Maybe we can set that horse dream to music. The (decidedly serious) show FAMILY MUSIC, which I co-wrote with the fabulous Marian Weiner, actually has a song that started with "Last night I dreamed of a grey horse, running across a cloudy sky"

"Run With Me" - at start of this Youtube

DR Iris I hope you have enough food and supplies, and do not need to go outside for a few days.

Who is going to make those Rice Krispie Chocolate Chip Cookies?

bk · « **Reply #28 on:** January 04, 2025, 09:24:12 AM »

I guess I'm up - maybe four hours of sleep. I really think those ribs did a number on me.

Jane · « **Reply #29 on:** January 04, 2025, 09:25:23 AM »

I used to bake cereal cookies that were good, though did not look pretty like these do.
