Post by: elmore3003 on October 12, 2012, 05:12:57 AM: Good morning, all! I stayed up too late with the debate and I am stuck here today cleaning the kitchen area for the arrival of my new stove. The apartment is a dump at the moment, so the excuse to clean is good. I'm putting the laundry on hold until tomorrow.

Seventy-seven years ago today the Cole Porter-Moss Hart musical JUBILEE opened on Broadway at the Imperial Theatre; it was fraught with backstage drama ranging from angry and jealous stage mothers to Moss Hart's crazy aunt, resulting in slashed costumes, burnt scenery and theft. On top of this, there were eight principal actors vying for attention and publicity. During the rehearsals and previews, the main plot was cut back so the secondary couple, one of them Porter's current amour and a future Hollywood director, became prominent, and a lot of Porter's score got trimmed to shorten its long running time. It must have been a zoo. The show opened to good reviews and closed six months later; its star had a drinking problem and missed performances and her replacement, Laura Hope Crews, didn't keep the house filled. I've always suspected a major reason for the show's failure was that it was a "caviar" musical, and once everyone who was anyone had seen it and its parodies of Hollywood celebrity and Noel Coward, not to mention all of its gay entendres, the standard Broadway audience didn't care so much.

Still, I dn't think Porter wrote as good a score again until KISS ME KATE thirteen years later. I'm very proud of the fact that I was allowed to restore the show.

Best of Porter's scores, IMHO. What a dazzler. "Me and Marie," "The Kling-Kling Bird on the Divi Divi Tree," "A Picture of Me Without You," "Why Shouldn't I?" and of course, "Begin the Beguine." So many other gems.

Backlogged on everything at present.

CD car player has been acting up, rejecting discs, and haven't had time to listen to anything at home the past couple of days, but next up would be THE RAT RACE and EILEEN which is due today.

DVD - I have a wonderful collection but new Blu-rays have taken precedence this week. THE LONG HOT SUMMER should be delivered today.

BLU - E.T., some Universal monsters, a little 007, a peek at PROMETHEUS. Tonight, God willing and the nice mail lady brings 'em: DIAL M FOR MURDER and THE FACULTY.
Title: Re: THE LATE, LATE NOTES
Post by: ChasSmith on October 12, 2012, 06:41:25 AM: Also,

BLU - THIS IS CINERAMA and WINDJAMMER - the ones DR Doug R has been waiting for. Just a few scenes, no time to watch straight through yet. Strange movies now, as were all such extravaganzas from back in the day, but lots of fun and great nostalgia value. Flicker Alley did a wonderful job on these, given that they are not the kind of restorations we usually talk about.

Recorded a whole lotta old movies off of TCM this week, and hope to get most of them watched. Included are the 1931 and 1941 versions of DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE. Neither of which I have ever watched before. Well, actually, I watched the 1931 version earlier this week.
Title: Re: THE LATE, LATE NOTES
Post by: TCB on October 12, 2012, 08:58:41 AM: Regarding the play version of DIAL M FOR MURDER. I think the main problem is finding a different actor every night willing to be stabbed in the back with a pair of scissors.
Title: Re: THE LATE, LATE NOTES
Post by: ChasSmith on October 12, 2012, 09:03:37 AM: I've never seen it on stage either, which is kind of ridiculous because it's been done at least three times locally since I've lived in this area, which is pretty rich in community theater.
Title: Re: THE LATE, LATE NOTES
Post by: elmore3003 on October 12, 2012, 09:29:11 AM: Well, the mess of my life continues: the new stove sits in my hallway: the gas pipes connecting the oldstove have to be disconnected by a specialist who can then connect a new pipe that will work with the new stove. God alone knows when this will occur. My apartment is a shambles, my bank account is empty and I've been sending emals to the people receiving my checks begging them not to deposit them - if they haven't already - until next week. On top of that, I'm worriedthat the stove delivery men, before they discovered the gasline problem might have loosened the pipes and I will die from a gas leak.

Oy!

Post by: John G. on October 12, 2012, 10:12:33 AM: ChasSmith, there is no legit recording for Jubilee, though Porter recorded most of the songs, which appears as a CD called "Cole Sings Porter." As I recall, he did not record "Begin the Beguine," and that's probably a good thing.

Elmore, many vibes that everything gets straightened out.

I underwent both trials today. Now comes the waiting.

The charges have depleted my account. The bank will not redeposit the funds until I file claims of fraudulent activity. Until the money is redeposited, I will be overdrawn and charged $35/check.

Title: Re: THE LATE, LATE NOTES
Post by: ChasSmith on October 12, 2012, 12:03:17 PM: Thanks for reminder about Filichia. I don't always remember, and that's a good one because it will help to reinforce and redefine my own feelings about things to save and not to save.

Last year I went through a purge of stuff that was taking enormous amounts of room, and tossed a huge box of community theater programs going back twenty years. There was a lot there because, as mentioned earlier today, this region is so rich in local theater. We have fewer of them than we did two decades ago, but I believe we're still better off than most areas around the country.

At any rate, should I wish to look something up (and I hardly ever did), all of those places keep their stuff and it's easy enough to find information about previous shows.

BUT ..... I kept every program from all of my past years in Columbus, Florida, Cleveland, L.A., etc. -- of amateur and professional productions alike. There aren't that many of them because I wasn't the theatergoer that many of you were. And sadly, there are a few that went missing years ago. But the ones I have are all priceless, for one reason or another. It's just a whole different thing. And they take up very little space.

Of course I could feel that way someday about the accumulation of local stuff here that I got rid of. But I thought long and hard about that, and am fine with that decision.

Post by: bk on October 12, 2012, 12:03:52 PM: I'm up. For some completely random and wacko reason the house alarm went off at five-thirty. I got up, but in my groggy state it took me about three minutes to figure out how to enter the code - the first time I did it it didn't work, but it did the second time. I didn't get back to sleep for an hour and got up after eleven and have been catching up since then. And since I didn't get to sleep until three, well, I'm still a bit tired.

The card frauds are scary, but in most ways the banks take care of them pretty efficiently nowadays. Most of the time they're onto the fraud before we are. Been there, done it, a couple of times. However, not with a debit card like what DR Elmore is going through. It's just wrong that the bank doesn't take that additional step of replacing funds more quickly.

Life only gets worse some mornings: my debit card has been hacked and someone's charged an iPhone case costing $86.29 yesterday with the email address heidi_hejazi@yahoo.com. I am not amused.

I wll have a new card in 5-7 business days. Oy!

Hacker's are never amusing!

I wonder if they can track the hacker using the email address.

Was the transaction stopped before it was shipped? Do they even tell you this info?

DR Elmore, checks being cashed shouldn't oughta be a problem, I would think. Isn't your bank covering the loss in your account?

The charges have depleted my account. The bank will not redeposit the funds until I file claims of fraudulent activity. Until the money is redeposited, I will be overdrawn and charged $35/check.

:( I thought they would help you through this.

Very sorry to hear that DR Ginny's DM is having a rough time of it. Hope things get better.

The card frauds are scary, but in most ways the banks take care of them pretty efficiently nowadays. Most of the time they're onto the fraud before we are. Been there, done it, a couple of times. However, not with a debit card like what DR Elmore is going through. It's just wrong that the bank doesn't take that additional step of replacing funds more quickly.

Or at least not charging more for overdrawn checks. This is shocking!!!

Cold comfort, dear, cold comfort!

Sorry, it's the best I can do...

How much was Richard bilked for?

Not as much as you...

I will hopefully watch Prometheus, too. I also have the new Blu-ray of "Little Shop of Horrors," and I REALLY want to watch that. :)

I'm reading "Fahrenheit 451," ironically on my Kindle. I've never read it, nor have I seen the movie. It's very good.

In my CD player: I just finished a CD that I got from the library: "Leaving Eden (http://www.amazon.com/Leaving-Eden-Carolina-Chocolate-Drops/dp/B006X08FDA/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1350079248&sr=1-1&keywords=Carolina+Chocolate+Drops)" by the Carolina Chocolate Drops.

The difference in "customer care" could be that Elmore used a debit card and banks have different rules when dealing with debit cards vs. credit cards. Credit cards have much better protection than most debit cards...sadly.

Then you don't have the temp in your bedroom turned low enough ;)

I used to like using them all year and Keith is now the one asking for them and his side of the bed is always much warmer than mine. I figure if I use the flannel sheets I won't need an extra blanket. They do tend to be fur magnets which is what I don't like about them.

I don't slide comfortably when rolling over in them, something I never thought about until my broken shoulder.

Post by: Cillaliz on October 12, 2012, 08:18:37 PM: Yes, Jane a good night's sleep helped me, as did the big huge cup of coffee I had this morning. I hadn't had any coffee in two days...I think it was part caffine withdrawal

Post by: Cillaliz on October 12, 2012, 08:20:29 PM: Boo scared the bejesus out of me tonight. I couldn't find her ANYWHERE. I searched and searched and searched. I opened doors, drawers and even searched the garage and outside. Nothing. I literally searched for about 45 minutes. I finally decided to try to lure her out by opening a window and it worked. I have absolutely no idea where her hiding place is, but it's a doozy

Post by: Cillaliz on October 12, 2012, 08:23:34 PM: I called my new cat/house sitter today and she said she had forgotten to get in touch with me all week. So we planned to have her come over at 6:30 tonight so she could see how to give Callie her meds and meet the cats. At 7:00 I called her and she said she hadn't been able to get home yet. She also said she didn't know which number on her phone was mine. Not really comforting, but we still have until next week before I need her. She plans to come over Sunday evening. I asked her if our planned dates are really going to work and she said no problem. I'm going to have to trust her, but it isn't easy to do that. Anyway, she does sit for a few people I know, so I"m going to have to try it.

Post by: Cillaliz on October 12, 2012, 08:25:03 PM: I haven't left the cats for even a night since the beginning of July. Before that it was May and I think that may be it for the whole year. Makes it a lot harder to leave them with anyone .

Post by: Laura on October 12, 2012, 08:25:05 PM: That's not very encouraging.

How is Sharon?

Title: Re: THE LATE, LATE NOTES
Post by: Cillaliz on October 12, 2012, 08:29:25 PM: Today the insurance guy called me. He's the supervisor of the adjuster who never calls anyone back. Anyway, the big hold up paying my hospital bill was that they gave me a tetnus shot in the emergency room. I said, "Well, my left arm was all cut up and there was some glass in it." He said "Oh, then you'd need a tetnus shot, I'm glad I asked you" Good grief! Of course we haven't worked out the doctor's bill. The insurance co. paid it, but the hospital claims they didnt' and they want to send me to collections. It isn't going to happen, the insurance guy said he'd fix it, but what a stupid thing

How is Sharon?

I heard on Wednesday that she had been off of dialysis for about 3 days and they were going to try to get her off the ventilator soon. She's been kept sedated because of the ventilator so she doesn't know they amputated her arm. I haven't heard anything since then. I think I'll call her husband this weekend.

Post by: Cillaliz on October 12, 2012, 08:34:22 PM: I think Katie will be ok. I've known her for awhile. She knew this was a chance for her to see the cats and she knows I'm not going anywhere until later next week. So, there is time. I'll call her or text her when I'm gone to be sure she came over etc. She is a cat person and knows how much they mean to me. She only lives about 8-10 blocks from my house, so it's easy for her to get here.

Post by: Cillaliz on October 12, 2012, 08:35:39 PM: She's also done work for a number of friends of mine, helping with cleaning, catering, pet sitting and she does work. She said it was a bad day and she didn't have my number so she hoped I'd call. For now I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. I don't have much choice

Post by: bk on October 12, 2012, 09:43:53 PM: Back from finessing - Lanny had one tiny request on one of the first eight we mixed, so we did that easily, and then finessed the remaining seven. I'll send those along to Lanny and the East Coast Singer and hopefully come Monday or Tuesday we can put that part of the process to bed.

Post by: George on October 13, 2012, 12:04:04 AM: I've been watching some TV and burning DVDs...I'm starting to clean off my DVD burner. I have some clips (mostly music or theatrical performances on talk shows) that are three years old. I need to do something with them, if only to just burn them onto DVDs.
