Well, you've read the notes, the notes said nothing, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they have nothing to say either, and yet they keep saying MOO. Go know.
-
And the word of the day is: PRAXIS!
-
Praxis makes perfect.
-
good morn to all
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
We have rain this morning. The temperatures may rise into the 50s. and stay there for most of the weekend.
I'm seeing Les Miz on Sunday afternoon.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
One of the top ten finest screen performances of all time
-
Oatmeal with pecans and dried apricots and cranberries and cinnamon and coffee.

California Suite with the equally brilliant Michael Caine. I consider the "Visitors From London" to be Neil Simon's best piece of writing

A friend sent us a copy of
Some of My Best Friends Are... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some_of_My_Best_Friends_Are...)
Wow, bad has a whole new definition.
I'm also surprised at who was in the movie. Gary Sandy, Fannie Flagg, Rue McClanahan, Carleton Carpenter (in a wordless role) and Candy Darling

And Mr. Buck Rodgers himself Gil Gerard, Peg Murray (Tony winner for Cabaret original cast) and Sylvia Syms.
I think at the time they wanted to make a "daring" film with gay characters a la "The Boys In the Band" (The year was 1971) And just like "Boys" it doesn't hold up as well. Gay characters in fiction as moved past these stereotypes

Saturday....a work day.....oh well.
AND it's going to rain some more.

And if you want to see Some Of My Best Friends Are...
it's on you tube in its entirety

Miss Maggie Smith....or Dame....I guess she is....
Really like all of her performances, but I will just name two.
California Suite - mentioned above AND The V.I.P.S.
-
Good morning, all.
Oy!
(As in: Oy! My poor back.)
-
Off to work.
-
DR VIXMOM your dream was TOO much for the Dream-O-Matic, however some of it pointed to your desire to handle some details in depth and let others go because you do not consider them priorities.....
-
Good morning!
-
TOD: The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, of course
The VIPS
Downton Abbey (is TV included?)
-
Good morning. My birdbath is frozen.
-
I actually saw The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel on dvd a couple of months ago. I'm guessing that is one reason it was not nominated for anything. Came out quite a while ago and then went to dvd so quickly.
While I think the performances were good (those actors are amazing) the movie wasn't really my cup of tea. The setting was fine. But the movie itself was very odd.
-
I also love Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey.
-
For some reason today's TOD reminded me that I saw Betty Buckley on this week's Pretty Little Liars. She is playing one of the girls grandmothers and got to sing. Not sure why but i was really surprised when I saw her.
-
Good morning, all! The noisy oafs above me are trying hard to keep the noise down late at night, so they crept in after midnight, quietly puttered around, then some idiot slammed the apartment door and that woke me with a jolt. I'm on my first cup of coffee and pondering the day.
I will head to my pharmacy around 11 and pick up my monthly meds before the trek to Toyland. Today is an edit Jerome Moross day. Then I'm meeting Rob Berman at 5pm for dinner.
I'll work a bit on my DEAREST ENEMY notes before I leave.
More coffee!

TOD:
Everything Maggie Smith has ever done.
-
According to legend:
Without the help of 20th Century Fox, producer Robert Fryer mounted his own Oscar publicity campaign on behalf of Maggie Smith to get her a nomination for THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE, which was not a financial success.
When he was successful in his effort, the people at Fox called him onto the carpet and balled him out because they felt that Maggie Smith took the Best Actress nomination slot that should have gone to Barbra Streisand for HELLO, DOLLY!
I wonder if they apologized after Smith won.
-
Good morning. My birdbath is frozen.
Sounds like a Berlitz "useful" phrase.
-
TOD:
Everything Maggie Smith has ever done.
I'll give that pretty much a ditto.

Back from our day trip to Walsingham. We are resting and freshening up for drinks at the Deanery and our gala farewell dinner. We will be at the Cathedral tomorrow for morning mass and the Epiphany procession in the afternoon, but tonight's the big farewell.
-
I'm up, I'm up - slept right until the doorbell rang. It is sixty-two degrees in the home environment right now - I cannot finesse or do anything when it is this cold. I have to eat a nice dinner later and would prefer not to eat until then, but I will have to sit somewhere and kill time so that will involve eating something. Unless I were to drive to the airport and attend the Hollywood Show, which I most assuredly will not.
-
So, I'll be on my way somewhere and return right after noon, at which point I will finesse, futz, and fix and then write some new pages. I was going to bring the laptop with me and do some of that in the restaurant, but then I'd have to send that document back to myself and cut and paste and all that stuff into the real document.
-
Greetings from Toyland!
-
Good morning, all.

TOD:
Evil Under the Sun
A Room with a View
Quartet (the original)
Gosford Park
Downton Abbey
When I was in high school, I spent a summer in Europe with a stop in England. Got to see Smith in Stoppard's "Night and Day." She had just replaced Diana Rigg. While the play was not much, she was great. And I got to meet her backstage after the show. She was a droll in person as she is in her performances.
-
TOD; Lettice and Lovage on Broadway - it was amazing seeing Maggie Smith in person, however unlike John G I did not have the opportunity to go backstage or meet her
-
I am now caught up on ROBERTA and waiting for work from my colleagues. Frustrating.
-
Two hours between posts? This will not make BK happy.
-
Someone needs to write a really long post that takes two hours to read.
-
A lull. ::)
;)
-
I am babying my back, lazing about reading and thinking about what to watch or listen to.

I just recorded this on TCM a couple of months ago. I'd never heard of it, but I took a chance. It was thoroughly delightful. :)
-
The packages continue to dribble in. Finally received a book that shipped a week and a half ago from western Pennsylvania. Unreal. This one's the fault of good old Media Mail. Still have a couple of things out there, presumably wending their way to me. I wonder what's up with this.
-
TOD:
Everything Maggie Smith has ever done.
Well, I haven't seen everything that she's ever done, but I certainly have loved her in everything that I have seen her do. :)
-

That's a great way of phrasing it, George.
-
Up from a nice nap. May have to do that again in a couple of hours. A lost Saturday for sure.
-
Well, I need to go to work for a couple of hours. I need to see if everything is still okay after yesterday's fiscal year rollover. If there are any problems, I don't want to have to wait until Monday to find out. I'm sure that it's all fine, but I just want to make sure. :)
Have a good day, all!

And the word of the day is: PRAXIS!

Back from various and sundried. My motor car has been difficult to start this week, and this morning it almost didn't start at all - I've been attributing this to how cold the garage is in the morning, but alas, I took the motor car to the local 76 station and it did need a new battery. I actually replaced the battery just over a year ago, for which I was reimbursed by the Infiniti dealer. Rather than try to find the Triple AAA receipt I just got a new one - of course, I found the receipt immediately and of course it was under warranty (the old one) but you can only get the same exact battery over again, and that I did not feel the need to do - and since last year's didn't cost me anything, it's fine. The new one is under warranty for two years.
-
Then I had my bacon and eggs, after which I picked up three packages, two of which were amongst the most errant and truant.
-
And now I am very behind in today's writing, so onward we go.

I should read before I post!

That's what I'm having, and it's delightful. Not completely lost, as I'm also getting some nice reading and watching done. But as such a laid back Saturday, it was unscheduled and unplanned.
-
Good morning, all.
Oy!
(As in: Oy! My poor back.)
It mustbe catching. I am in bad shape today. So what else is new?
-
TOD: The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, of course
Are Barbra Streisand and Brent Barrett in that film?
-
Hello!
-
Already have played an anniversary service at church and have got the slides in order for the weekend. Punch some guitar picks out of used iTunes gift cards (best Christmas gift EVER) and now trying to catch up and figure out how to make this office into bedroom. I think it might be impossible, or take weeks and months.
-
Just purchased the new German (in English) recording of "Sweeney Todd" and "Eileen" from iTunes.

At 9:00 a.m. it was 26 degrees at my house, and the thermostat in the living room had gone out.
And I walked 3 miles every day to school..... in the snow........up hill............... in both directions!
-
TOD; Lettice and Lovage on Broadway - it was amazing seeing Maggie Smith in person, however unlike John G I did not have the opportunity to go backstage or meet her
Did you try waiting at the stage door?

I did not. I went with Vixdad and another couple - had I been without those people I certainly would have waited
but they wanted to catch the train.

I had a 9 AM dentist visit to have a tiny cavity repaired
-
then two hours later when most of the numbness was past Vixdad took me to IHOP for breakfast
-
I had a half order of the Swedish crepes and a half side of bacon...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
-
The Vixter went into NYC to Sloan Kettering today with some friends to donate blood for a 13 year old with a blood cancer (I am not sure of the correct name of the disease - not leukemia) they won't take mine because of the radioactivity that was injected into me last Friday and they won't take Vixdad's because he is suspected of having Mad Cow disease by virtue of have lived in England prior to 1986
-
tonight she and those same friends are going to see Les Miz so Vixdad has kindly offered to take me to California Pizza Kitchen for my beloved Thai Chicken Pizza
-
well THAT cleared the room
-
I could use some Swedish crepes, bacon, and Thai Chicken Pizza right about now.
-
I had a half order of the Swedish crepes and a half side of bacon...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
You mean a side order of bacon? I usually sit down to a whole slab.
-
Just dropped in to say I'm sorry for not being here more often.

Thank you DR Jeanne.

Life is complex.

BACK VIBES FOR DR CHAS!!!!

From DR Vixmom regarding the "better" photo for DR Jennifer:
looks like that is on white though it really must be on rye- preferably seeded rye
I agree, and the hamburger was overcooked.
-
Actually i am kinda proud of the kid - she was supposed to go to a party and she has an aversion to needles and she cancelled out of the party to go give blood (also proud of the friend that was completely understanding about why Vixter was cancelling)
-

it was half a side order I only wanted two slices instead of 4

not as sorry as we are that you are not here more often. You and your wit are very much missed my friend

I never thought of Mad Cow disease as being an issue. I guess they can't check for it. What about anyone that has traveled in England prior to 1986.

You are missed but we understand.

"half a side order"
"only wanted two slices"
I just can't seem to wrap my brain around those things...

I don't think the blood type mattered I think the patient is "credited" for each pint donated in her name no matter what the type

Well I lost 2 hours and 45 minutes of my life watching ZERO DARK THIRTY and I'll never get it back

I wouldn't have nominated it for anything

Didn't the director do THE HURT LOCKER? Did you see that?
-
I am home from a lovely dinner with the mighty Rob Berman at Angus McEndoe. I bit the hell out of my tongue and it won't stop bleeding! I do hope I didn't spit blood all over Rob. I'm currently holding a teabag to the wound. Makes it hard to type.

This afternoon I went to the theater, and this is what I saw:

Credit is good :)
That was a very interesting list of blood donation regulations. Thank you.

Rob and I talked about recording ROBERTA, and he directed me to this:

Yes, I lost a couple hour of my life on that too. I wasn't going to go, but the "see all the nominee" bug gets me and....well...I went.

Paul really wants to see Django...I don't want to see that either, but since it's on the list, I may go to it. Plus, he hated Les Miz and told me it's payback, lol

I really liked Silver Linings Playbook. I also liked Moonrise Kingdom

Early (2am GMT) Sunday morning greetings! I have insomnia and a bit of indigestion. Our farewell dinner was lovely, but the meal was quite rich. Of course, I cleaned my plates - all three courses - and drank too much wine!
Taking advantage of a strong wi-fi connection, which is very rare in this hotel.
-
I surely liked Zero Dark Thirty better than Moonrise Kingdom - surprising, but true. I don't think Zero Dark Thirty is a great movie, but it held my interest.
-
I've written a little over ten pages so far. Now I'm off to a birthday party at which there will be lots of film music types. I'm meeting Nick Redman and his ever-lovin' Julie and our plan is to show up right on time at seven and escape promptly at seven-thirty, at which point we'll go down the street and have Thai food. Then I'll come home and write a couple more pages to almost finish the chapter I'm on.

Funny, that is my reaction to the book. Almost, I still think the book is brilliant but I don't want to read every bit of it.

I think tonight we will be watching the 3rd Gidget movies having watched the first two over the last couple of nights. If memory serves me correctly the last one was very good.
Deborah Walley was enjoyable but we missed Sandra Dee.

Of course, it was overcooked. Jennifer didn't like the look of the rare one.

I'm sorry, Matthew.

How did the Miss America Pageant end up in January? Wasn't it always in September?

And he looks even better face to face.

That is the Lost Boy's house behind them. He took us across the stage and showed us the set pieces.

Vixmom, you didn't mean that you had received the DVD, did you.
-
I just watched for the first time - I cannot believe that! - IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER. It was quite moving, but what wa sthat strange dress Delores Gray wore for the broadcast? It looked like a demented tutu with a train. I loved Gray. No one plays egocentric as well as she.

Remember I said earlier that we were being treated royally here at Norwich Cathedral? Well, we learned yesterday that our host, Canon Jeremy, has been appointed Chaplain to Her Majesty the Queen. He's one of 30 and it's quite an honor.
Vixdad was suitably impressed but he said it was too bad you couldn't have gone a few month s alter he said its beautiful in spring
-
Laura, didn't you think that Cathy was great in the show?
-
Vid mom, you didn't mean that you had received the DVD, did you.
Oh no, I was responding to your post that it had been shipped - I am quite overwhelmed by this sudden luxury of riches - opera DVDs from Elmore and today I received the Kennedy Center Honors from DR George - thank you George!!!! and Topsy Turvey on the way from you -
you are all very very sweet and I am very, very grateful
-
Yeah, so I'm done at the restaurant. 'Nuff said about that.
perhaps it was a mistake to have dedicated the entire evening to Tom Lehrer

I thought she was wonderful. I don't know what that critic was talking about.

The last time I saw Cathy do the show, in the Uggawa Uggawa number in the second act, she wore me out just watching her dance!

Just watched Salmon Fishing on the Yemen. Much lighter mood...

Sadly, Extremely E and T DR Jhvw went outside today and found their 13 year old dog Bella had died. She was at the end of the driveway, he wasn't sure if she was hit by a car (very quiet residential area) or if she had died from health problems, but it was a shock. They are all very sad. Unfortunatley one of Jon's friends posted it on FB before his two brothers had been told about it. Fortunately I saw it and called with my condolences and he was able to get it taken of FB before the brothers saw it.

well time for sleep church in morning

Life is complex.
Smooth, undimensional vibes.

Thanks, Bella was a blue heeler (I think that's right) she was a very good dog

Rob and I talked about recording ROBERTA, and he directed me to this:

I'd never seen it, and it's brilliant.
Yes, it is.

I had a half order of the Swedish crepes and a half side of bacon...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
You mean a side order of bacon? I usually sit down to a whole slab.
it was half a side order I only wanted two slices instead of 4
I'm sorry, I don't understand. Could someone please explain the following concepts to me?
"half a side order"
"only wanted two slices"
I just can't seem to wrap my brain around those things...
Translator! Please, we need help.

Everything about her character was strange, which made her so watchable.
I never wanted to believe the stories about how egomaniacal and depressive Gene Kelly was, but apparently he was in full armor for that one. Even had Michael Kidd's really fun dance with the kids cut because he felt it upstaged him.
Still, there are scenes in that movie -- the three soldiers' dance at the beginning, the dance on roller skates, Cyd Charisse in the ring -- that I really enjoy.
-
Went to a wine dinner at an Asian restaurant tonight, then dancing. Fun evening.
-
I just found out Sharon got to go home today!!! Woo and Hoo! She went to the hospital the end of September and tonight she's home in her own bed. She sent me a message on FB to let me know and I just got it
-
She's looking forward to seeing "our" kitty family. I thought that was cute.
-
On that happy note, I'm going to bed. Good night
-
I am home. I was at the birthday party for only thirty minutes, but there was some classic comedy going on there between me and a Korean woman - it was like Abbott and Costello and I'll talk about it in the notes.

Then Nick, Julie and I went to a Thai restaurant that Nick loves. Their portions are fairly small, so I ordered three things: A salad with peanut dressing, pad Thai, and a cashew chicken dish, all extremely yummilicious. For dessert we all shared Thai custard and a tiny scoop of coconut ice cream. The conversation was sparkling and a good time was had by all. Then I came home, opened the garage door only to see that it stopped halfway up. I pushed the button and it closed and thank goodness it did because it now won't go up OR down - had I gotten the car in there, that would have been a bit of a deesaster. I don't like leaving the car parked on the street, but will have to until I can get someone here to see why it's suddenly not working. If I push the button I can hear the motor working, but nothing happens. I tried opening it by hand, but that doesn't seem to be possible.
-
Yikes! Mine has an unlatching rope thingy you pull, then I turn the handle on the door and it frees itself and up she goes.
-
Nick and Julie: great, great people.

Well, I had a wonderful day sitting on my arse. But not doing nothing. I just finished MURDER AT HOLLYWOOD HIGH. It's wonderful, and was the perfect read for this very day. I look forward to the others.
But there's a very special treat for Yrs Truly in this one. An L.A. favorite that I don't believe I've mentioned here yet. I stopped there in October and it was as incredibly good as ever. The burger was IDENTICAL to the way it had always been for me, as far back as the late '80s. We're talking nearly a quarter of a century later here, and that's a stunning occurrence as these things go.
I KID YOU NOT: In the middle of the book, when Adriana decides to treat herself to one of her favorite things, the direction she starts heading in made me think of exactly this place, because that's the kind of treat it represents for me. Then I thought, no way. There are hundreds of places or things this could be. And then, a few lines later, there it was...dots connected....

My deepest sympathies to the whole family. What a shock.

There is a rope dangling, maybe I'll try that.

Well, I believe my work here is done.
G'night!

Found a garage door fix-it place and they'll be out here between noon and two tomorrow.

Well, I need to go to work for a couple of hours. I need to see if everything is still okay after yesterday's fiscal year rollover. If there are any problems, I don't want to have to wait until Monday to find out. I'm sure that it's all fine, but I just want to make sure. :)
Have a good day, all!
Electronic invoices looked good! It really seems to have worked.

Just purchased the new German (in English) recording of "Sweeney Todd" and "Eileen" from iTunes.
Am on disc two of "Eileen" right now. Post what you think of the "Sweeney."
Umm...I thought that it was okay. I'd read that it was an opera company's concert and there are lyric mistakes every once in a while on the recording. :-\
-
Already have played an anniversary service at church and have got the slides in order for the weekend. Punch some guitar picks out of used iTunes gift cards (best Christmas gift EVER) and now trying to catch up and figure out how to make this office into bedroom. I think it might be impossible, or take weeks and months.
Used iTunes gift cards are the best Christmas gift EVER? Would you accept some other used gift cards? ;D
The Pick Punch (http://www.pickpunch.com/) was the best gift ever!!!
Cool.
That is pretty cool. My sister's boyfriend plays the guitar. I wonder if he'd like something like that.
-
After work, I went to Fred Meyer to get a new Ethernet cable (the one that I have now has a broken clip, so one end won't stay in my cable modem).
-
While I was there, I decided to get a mini-to-regular HDMI cable. I can now hook up my tablet/netpad to my big screen TV! I really have no need to do that, but it really does look pretty cool. :D
-
I also got a set of styluses (styli?). I have the one that came with the netpad, but I lost the extra one that came with the netpad keyboard case. There were six in the pack and now if I lose one, I'll have several extras.
-
Actually i am kinda proud of the kid - she was supposed to go to a party and she has an aversion to needles and she cancelled out of the party to go give blood (also proud of the friend that was completely understanding about why Vixter was cancelling)
That's great. My niece has donated blood...she's a universal donor.
I'm not allowed to donate blood. (http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/06/health/gay-men-blood-ban/index.html)
