Post by: bk on February 04, 2015, 12:28:33 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes had no sexuality, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently looking for their MOOsplaced sexuality.

Good morning, all.

I am feeling the effects of all my running around and working in below-freezing weather yesterday, so today I'm on strike.  I'm staying in, staying warm and resting.  Because the last thing I need right about now would be my third cold of the season.

ASK BK

Have you heard anything about the new 4K scan of Capra's Lost Horizon that also included new found footage getting a new release hopefully on Blu Ray?

The last items I can find are from last year and that they were shown at The Cannes Film Festival and at a film festival in Seattle.

Perhaps you can ask your neighbor Mr. Gitt if he knows anything.

Let me know what you think of this version of Memphis, George. I saw the show at the movie theater and liked it enough, just enough, to get the DVD. But some people just rave about the show, and I don't quite get it.

I loaned the DVD to friends, who watched it three times they enjoyed it so much. And on the Forgotten Musicals page, Londoners are praising the new production over there.

Good afternoon.

I got another jury notice. As I recall, the last one I had two years and one month ago, a big trial had just started. A big one. With news camera trucks all around the courthouse.

It was Jody Arias. Two YEARS ago.

As long as they don't throw out this jury and start over next month. I would be perfect for the jury. I don't watch tv, don't listen to the radio except in the car, and don't click on any internet news stories about her. I am as ignorant as possible.

Update.

Yes I am going to have a partial knee replacement. The doctor has sent the paper work to Workman's Comp.


BUT

and there is always a but

My thyroid situation may delay the actual date of the operation.

There seems to be a correlation with what my thyroid is doing and what it can do to the knee replacement.

I will be out of work for a minimum of six weeks probably more.

Nope, and she'd already checked her bag.  But she was able to get it back.  I don't know where she's staying.

What a nuisance.  I always carry enough with me to get through a night without my checked suitcase, if I check one.

Thank you for the photo.  I like the bag!

I've only read two books in your collection.  I'm not sure I want to read the sequel to DOC put probably will.  It was interesting to learn there is one.

I can't read the author of Coconut and can't find the book online.  What is it?

Have you read the first Midwife book and the other books in the series prior to Tradition of Deceit?

I marked a couple "to be read".  I will be curious which books you like out of your selection here.

I'm not being snarky Larry but you upload music to youtube, not download it. When you send something to YT, that's uploading. It's usually slower than downloading. I don't know anything about creating your own channel on Youtube but I know that it's possible. It can't be that difficult. I know lots of people who have their own channels.

DR Jane, the only authors in this batch I've read are Mary Doria Russell (who could not get to Chicago because of the weather) and Elizabeth Berg (who lives in the Chicago area).  I'm looking forward to reading some new (to me) authors.

COCONUT is subtitled "The Complete Guide to the World's Most Versatile Superfood," and the author is Stephanie Pedersen.  There's some background info, but the book is mostly recipes.

Mary lives in Cleveland and I first heard her speak at a state-level conference when THE SPARROW was new and she wasn't very well-known.  I've heard her a couple more times and she's very entertaining.  I've also heard Elizabeth Berg many times and have liked most of her books, except THE ART OF MENDING.

A friend of mine just posted it on Facebook and it brought back a whole slew of memories of one of my favorite days in journalism.

Sometime in the mid-1990s, I found myself running the bureau office where I worked. My boss was out because her father had died and the other editor was on vacation, so I found myself working for 17 or 18 days straight.

I was exhausted. It was a Saturday afternoon and word came in that a pod of whales was threatening to beach themselves off the coast of Englewood near Boca Grande.

I got permission to send a photographer up in a helicopter while I found a friend with a boat who was willing to take a reporter out to the scene and talk with the state workers who were trying to redirect the pod.

A fellow co-worker and I decided to tag along because the rest of our work was done. So, we headed out on the boat, got the story (which the competition lacked) and enjoyed an amazing trip as we watched the workers successfully redirect most of the pod. A mother and her calf did beach themselves.

We managed to get the story written and edited in time for it run on the front page. A fine end to the lengthy work stretch.

Watching one of those Jessie Matthews musicals from England, "Head Over Heels." I don't always understand her appeal, but she's fun in this one.

They gave me the time off to go to Costa Rica without claiming it as time off.

I really needed to clean house tonight because a friend is coming over tomorrow to watch Boyhood.  I just couldn't get the energy up to do it.  SO, I guess she will see me as I am.   I will run the vacuum and clean the bathroom, and do the dishes.  At least that's the thought.   I really hate to be such a slug, but after a long day at work and the temps below zero, I just don't have the energy to do it.

I guess if I take Thursday afternoon off and work Saturday morning it's a wash.  I can leave at noon tomorrow and clean the house well enough by 4:00.  I think that's what I'll do

Proofer two arrived so I went through all that with Muse Margaret, and then spent an hour putting in the ones we agreed with.  There were some very good catches, including some really lazy writing, where I used a phrase about twenty times and not to any purpose.  I do love and am known for comic repetition or repetition for style, but this wasn't that.  I ended up removing every instance of it save for one, which I reworded slightly.  So, I think we're just about done with this phase.

The Washington Center (starting this season) produces a brochure for the entire season, and then does inserts for the individual shows.  Well, for some reason, they didn't print enough inserts with all the cast and crew info, and so many people were asking for the inserts.

A couple of people were actually mad that we ran out of them.

Post by: George on February 05, 2015, 12:01:05 AM
After the show, I told the house manager about the irate patrons, and I had the suggestion that they put the insert information online in a downloadable archive section on their website.  He said that that was a good idea and that they probably can very easily do that!
