Well, you've read the notes, the notes lingered longer, and now it is time for you to post until the lingering cows come home.

I'm now listening to a Steve Lawrence double-header that he issued on his own label.  Now apparently Steve and Eydie ended up owning their masters - how that happened is anyone's guess, but since neither of them paid for their damn records, I never quite understand why any record company would allow such a thing.  But the problem is, they don't appear to have actually gotten the master tapes back or if they did they didn't get the stereo tapes because everything they reissued on CD is in mono and frankly they reek of LP transfers.  Shame on them - these were some of the best stereo records ever.  This is what happens when you make stupid deals with people who don't know enough or care enough to release their own work properly.  It's shameful.

Good morning, all!  I stayed up too late watching FOYLE'S WAR Season 3.  Then, i had a lot of strange dreams. I remember my friend Debbie Gravitte was in one, and another was about Wagner's opera THE FLYING DUTCHMAN.

I dragged myself out of bed around 9:15.

Worked like crazy all day Thursday. Got home, had 10 minutes to change, and then we were off to an evening at the Guthrie Theatre.


The Music Man.


It was an outstanding production. Everything clicked. I mean, the show is so solidly written, but they did a wonderful job bringing it to life.


The orchestra was reduced to about 15 pieces, but they had cracker-jack musicians, and it sounded wonderful.

The doctor couldn't really figure out what was wrong, but wanted to make sure there wasn't a clot present, so I had to have my left leg sonigramed yesterday - perhaps at the very same time as DR Ginny was having the same procedure!

Sorry you had to go through that, DR Singdaw.  The scan I had yesterday was really 2 different scans.  Ryan first looked for clots, then did a different search for valve abnormalities.  I've often had the first type, but yesterday was my first experience of the second.

Also, have they checked you for gout?

Went to the end of Sami's choreography rehearsal and that's looking good.  Went to Hugo's for food.  Came home to find my Paypal debit card compromised - third time in three years.  Charges in Acton California and some other town nearby at Gymboree and something called Carter's - each charge around $250.  So I'm currently out that five hundred bucks and will BE out that five hundred bucks until the transaction actually completes, then they issue a credit back into my account and that can take two days, although I'll keep my eye on the two transactions and as soon as they complete I can call and they'll release the funds right then and there.  These mofos who do this - I have only one wish for them, a slow and very, very VERY painful death and nothing but misery.  No forgiveness here - they just need to DIE.  Period.  So, they now have to issue me a new card, which will take ten days - that's fine because this old card was expiring next month.  Happily, last time this happened I'd taken their advice and got a second card so I wouldn't be without a card.  That card is activated and can be used until the new card arrives, but I now will have to go onto every site that I have auto pay on and put in the new number - THAT is really irritating.

Just had a very strong conversation with the lighting lady.  She came on very strong and said all kinds of annoying things and I came on equally strong.  There's three things that bother her in the script - I explained it's words on a page and also after listening to what seemed to me to be an out of proportion reaction, I suggested that a couple of the things that are making her "cringe" might be baggage she's bringing to the script, which has little to do with what I wrote.  Something is pushing some button, clearly.  In terms of the period monologue I think when I explained what the actual point was she could see it and I told her I probably wasn't making changes to that.  The other big thing for her was basically one line and I can step back and see her point, but again, the way Sami delivers it it's funny so it isn't like reading black type on a page.  She felt the line made Molly negative - I don't feel that at all - she's fourteen and her mother and her are going through a phase that all kids and moms do, at least the kids I've talked to.  I may end up looking at the wording of the line, and I think she was happy that I was open to at least looking at it - but certainly the reaction at the reading and the workshop would not have told me the audience was taking it that way.  Anyway, it was a bit of a knock-down drag out, in which she actually threw out the word sexist, which was the wrong word to hurl in my direction since I am about the least sexist person on earth.  She felt that Molly's having these problems with her mom (which are all dealt with amusingly and she has an entire monologue where she says it's just a phase and how much she loves her), but that she never talks about her dad because he wouldn't like that, but that he's a good dad.  She thought that was sexist of me as a writer.  Say what?

I agree Jane, both Gymboree and Carters sell baby and toddler clothes... And they are not inexpensive shops

I guess I'm still not understanding why the lighting designer gets any say in the writing of the show.


If she has a problem, she should just go.

I think I may need a second jog.  This evening, ever since the credit card debacle, has been most annoying - I think I need to run it off and then take a shower.  Clearly any movie watching isn't happening.

Today was the start of Restaurant Week, so I went out with friends for what promised to be a lovely meal. Well, the meal was meh. So we went to two other places after that and had much better food at a third the price. But it also meant I ate twice as much food as I should have.

Speaking of FOYLE'S WAR, my friend Barry Koron deciphered what classical piece its theme reminded mw of: Faure's Pavane, orchestrated by Claude Debussy.

I was racking my brain. It was such a familiar tune, but the composer changes after a handful of measures, and that part throws me off the trail.

I'm now listening to a Steve Lawrence double-header that he issued on his own label.  Now apparently Steve and Eydie ended up owning their masters - how that happened is anyone's guess, but since neither of them paid for their damn records, I never quite understand why any record company would allow such a thing.  But the problem is, they don't appear to have actually gotten the master tapes back or if they did they didn't get the stereo tapes because everything they reissued on CD is in mono and frankly they reek of LP transfers.  Shame on them - these were some of the best stereo records ever.  This is what happens when you make stupid deals with people who don't know enough or care enough to release their own work properly.  It's shameful.

Maybe Steve won the rights in a poker game in Vegas.

The upstairs idiot is still up to his idiocy. He thinks he has to "entertain" every night after 11. Very conceited college punk. I sarcastically say he's having a salon with cocktails when it's really Nick and Nora Dumbkopf (perhaps a better prefix would have been scheiss, but I don't know if that's okay to use here, I apologize) with their beer swilling pals. I did finally get a new nextdoor neighbor who seems pretty okay. She has a small dog who is nice too.

BTW, I may be getting a small dog myself by the end of this month if all goes well. My doctor signed the paperwork the leasing office recommended I file so that all pet related fees will be waived. I didn't even know about that until the woman in the fron t office brought it up when I mentioned the poochini.

I do need to come up with a different name for her.
Title: Re: LINGER LONGER
Post by: Dan M on August 15, 2015, 10:17:16 PM
The little dog I think is around 6 pounds, and she's a chihuahua. Not my first choice, but apparently she's well-trained, housebroken and very lovable. Plus, she likes men. Not sure why as she was raised by a woman.

She's named Bella, but I don't like that. I will have to name her with a new name that rhymes or has a similar sound so I don't confuse her.

The only name I was somewhat happy with was just Ella in honor of Ella Fitzgerald. I thought of Della, in honor of either Della Reese or Perry Mason's Della Street.

A near rhyme could be Zelda as in Fitzgerald.

Sorry about the weight gain.  If I don't walk I gain which is one trason I like to walk so much.  I'm glad you found new clothes.  I find it challenging to do so.

Went to the end of Sami's choreography rehearsal and that's looking good.  Went to Hugo's for food.  Came home to find my Paypal debit card compromised - third time in three years.  Charges in Acton California and some other town nearby at Gymboree and something called Carter's - each charge around $250.  So I'm currently out that five hundred bucks and will BE out that five hundred bucks until the transaction actually completes, then they issue a credit back into my account and that can take two days, although I'll keep my eye on the two transactions and as soon as they complete I can call and they'll release the funds right then and there.  These mofos who do this - I have only one wish for them, a slow and very, very VERY painful death and nothing but misery.  No forgiveness here - they just need to DIE.  Period.  So, they now have to issue me a new card, which will take ten days - that's fine because this old card was expiring next month.  Happily, last time this happened I'd taken their advice and got a second card so I wouldn't be without a card.  That card is activated and can be used until the new card arrives, but I now will have to go onto every site that I have auto pay on and put in the new number - THAT is really irritating.

That's terrible! >:(

I think I prefer Twizzlers.  I've never done a direct taste test, but I do like the ones that are softer and easier to bite.
