Good morning, all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #32 on:** January 05, 2025, 08:16:41 AM »

It's a very slow Sunday morn', even for the likes of me.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #33 on:** January 05, 2025, 08:17:36 AM »

My back is complaining about however in the HELL I must have slept on it last night, and it just feels like a slow moving day anyway.

I hadn't heard about a Victor Garber Liberace movie either.

As I recall, the thing that bothered me about the Mike Douglas one was the CGI and voice manipulation. I enjoyed the story and all, but that fake de-aging stuff icks me out.

Snow has arrived in SW Ohio!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #36 on:** January 05, 2025, 08:21:14 AM »

Don't say that word!!!

Fortunately, though, we aren't in line to get this storm. It's one of those blessed Snowmageddons that stays south of us and blankets the mid-Atlantic instead. We might get a dusting or a very slight covering tomorrow or whenever, but we'll be watching out for our own storms later in the week.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #37 on:** January 05, 2025, 08:21:46 AM »

But I hope y'all and DR Jrand74 and everyone out that way do fine in this one!

Ginny · « **Reply #38 on:** January 05, 2025, 08:22:17 AM »

Around here they’re describing this storm as a “south of I-70” event.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #39 on:** January 05, 2025, 08:29:18 AM »

Wow. Well, these types seem to run with pretty clear borders.

Or maybe it's just that sometimes we're in the area of those borders so they seem so obvious.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #40 on:** January 05, 2025, 08:30:02 AM »

Here in Danbury, we root for anything that's "south of I-84". Sadly, we rarely get exactly that.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #41 on:** January 05, 2025, 08:35:19 AM »

Well, folks, I think it's about time for me to remove the Post-Its (there are more than it looks here) and give the Nutcracker Project a rest till next year.

I was comparing cuts or other slight deviations taken in four studio recordings and in one video performance. Perhaps a few more next year. But now I'm more familiar with what's what when it comes to more or less standard practices with this piece.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #42 on:** January 05, 2025, 08:37:21 AM »

I made a spreadsheet of all this, so out with the "stickies" and back to the shelf with the score.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #43 on:** January 05, 2025, 08:48:05 AM »

Latest forecast is that if we get more than a dusting tomorrow, it'll still be little or no accumulation, and very dry/fluffy. In other words, another backpack leaf-blower event. And that's good news.

MR BK you might check your neighborhood thrift store.

The ones in my area always have bar stools of one type or another and you can take for a spin so to speak.

Isn't there an old song lyric "Kingman, bar stool, San Bernardino"

Sunday it is.

And since it's Bird Day - I shall spend some time talking to the pair of keets.

They have been spending more time on the side of the cage near the computer so perhaps they are trying to tell me something.

Are they telling you to send more tweets for Bird Day?

DR Iris I am relieved that someone has been going with you to your appointment. I hope this person has also been helpful in asking the right questions and helping you process the information.

From DR Iris:

I have been alone for all of the medical appointments, other than her.

It’s been challenging, to say the least.

Sending hugs and vibes.

The snow continues, but we can still see a bit of the grass.....

Jrand74 · « **Reply #53 on:** January 05, 2025, 10:39:22 AM »

My tradition is that on the first BIG snowfall of the year, I watch Where Eagles Dare....so I will get out that Blu Ray.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #54 on:** January 05, 2025, 10:40:20 AM »

LOL DR FREDDIE.....i don't know what they are chattering about.

They are busy throwing everything out of the treat cup onto the cage floor.....then they eat it from there.

singdaw · « **Reply #55 on:** January 05, 2025, 10:43:13 AM »

I wish I had a treat cup.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #56 on:** January 05, 2025, 10:50:39 AM »

Last night, out of the blue, I took out the Blu-ray and watched the Hammer film QUATERMASS AND THE PIT for my first time since owning the disc. Wow. It sure beats the old UK PAL DVD I had before, and it's absolutely loaded with good interviews and commentaries. Shout Factory did this one. I have the others in the Quatermass series, including the original BBC telecasts, and I think going through that little collection will be a fun pursuit in the coming weeks.

DR Jrand74, I hope to hear of a good Winter-A-Go-Go par-tay happening sometime soon.

I have survived the Tub of Terror and the cats are celebrating my bathing survival, I was very touched with their elation until Annabelle pointed out that none of them can work a can opener, and if I went to a watery grave, well . . .

Good news DR ELMORE.
