First post after BK!

T.O.D.
I try to avoid Nicholas Cage movies, but I do like:
THE COTTON CLUB
RAISING ARIZONA
In spite of the fact that he's in them.
-
Is this a first, for Druxy to be first in the actual morning?

Does anything rhyme with Daniels? Tried to do "Stormy Daniels" to tune of "Stormy Weather,' but it's not getting anywhere. :)

Miracle vibes for all!

Good morning, all!

I've begun Thatch's terramycin again; that left eye conjunctivitis is refusing to clear up. As a result, he's hiding from my and running whenever I turn in his direction. This could be hell on Thursday when he sees the vet for an echocardiograph and I need to chase him down.

Today I will work on How To Succeed In Business . . .
Joshie needs to regroup and determine our next course of action for this Encores! production so I will be hoe for the next couple of days.

Moonstruck, one of my favorite movies.

Poor Thatch.

Good Morning to all

From yesterday #1
DR Elmoore
Never saw Debbie Reynolds in What's The Matter With Helen because the film poster is a major spoiler and couldn't watch the film knowing part of the ending.
-
From yesterday #2
DR George
Just to clarify:
The slides/audio worked for the performance.
I just wish it was working for the tech run through.

Is this a first, for Druxy to be first in the actual morning?
Could be. I was up at 5. The paper wasn't here yet, so I went on-line.
Do I get a prize?
:D
-
Good morning, all.
-
It's a Monday! :D
-
Today we clean the house for the housecleaners who are coming out tomorrow.
-
It's a Monday! :D
Yes, it is. I have to set up my IRS appointment with my accountant, call Joshie, and get to work.
-
And thank you for reminding me that I have to get out and buy Turbo-Tax. At least, if it's still at its usual first-of-the-year price at Costco. Otherwise, it can wait a bit longer.
-
I've been doing my taxes on that for the past decade or longer.
-
Today we clean the house for the housecleaners who are coming out tomorrow.
This never fails to make me think of the very E&T DR Ron Pulliam who said something about that when he'd just moved last year.
-
Some musical adventure or other also made me think of the very E&T DR Matthew the other day.
-
Monday morning greetings! I have a very clear calendar for the next 2 weeks and am looking forward to spending a lot of time at my new stand-up craft table.
-
IRS appointment set for Feb. 26, Joshie is creating piano-vocal scores for the transposed numbers, and Thatch is still hiding from me. I have the Terramycin all set and ready.

Don't forget in doing your estimates to remind your accountant (assuming you use sch C and a lot of income is self-employment income, which he'll know!) your tax rate may be lower for 2018 income taxes.
If you're on W-2's mostly, never mind. He'll already know what to do.

DR GINNY your card catalog looks fantastic!
Thanks, DR JRand! I've been futzing with the space underneath and have installed a nightstand that Mom didn't have room for when she moved to assisted living. It's been in our garage for 3 years, just waiting for a new home. It now contains most of my needlework stuff.

DR CHAS SMITH I also use Turbo Tax. It was offered free to us of a certain age by my bank. So now I get a notification each January. All of my information is saved, and I just have to fill in the numbers.
You might check around.....maybe your bank does that, too.
-
LOL DR JANE you are correct.....irony is a good word.
-
I'm up, I'm up - almost eight hours of sleep.
-
I think I'll walk to the bank now rather than later - it will help me shake off the morning groggy.
-
Watching Dog Day Afternoon for the first time in decades. Excellent movie. Riveting performances, from Pacino down to Carol Kane.

FREE? Damn, that is nice. No, they don't, unfortunately. I don't think I've seen that offer from anyone.
-
Well.....you....know......Indiana. I don't think they offer it anymore....but I signed up a couple of years ago when I saw the logo on the website.
I think H & R BLOCK does some taxes for free.....check their website.

I know I'm no longer as in tune with pop culture as I once was. There are so many really famous people I've never heard of!
I guess it's time for me to stop feeling horrified when some of my neighbors say "Who?" when I've mentioned Wayne Newton or Bobby Vinton. (Yes, they do come up in conversation.)

Great extras on Dog Day with Lumet, Pacino, Sarandon and Durning among the interviewed.

Fred, I got off that boat years ago. But I think this little missy I dimly remember from 90210, a show I think I saw once.

No, DR Jane. I took the photo last night and didn’t have the nightstand idea until this morning. By the way, tell Keith that I’ve looked and looked for a manufacturer’s name, but found nothing.
-
Finished futzing and finessing - many, many changes, but I think I fixed most of it. I wrote a couple of new sentences but I think a walk will help as well as a shower.

I will. I think it has been too long, he might not remember the names of the manufactures.

I was looking for Gaylord, Demco, or Brodart. He'll probably remember those names - they're the biggies.

That's so cool!

I have been to bank and picked up the mail. Thatch seems to have forgiven me for the Terramycin; he's been strolling past me and rubbing against my legs to be petted, then he lies on the floor for me to rub his tummy. Annabelle spent some nap time lying in my lap. At one point I heard all these bird sounds and thought, the birds are sure noisy on the fire escape. Sure enough, there were pigeons on the fire escape but I think the sounds were coming from the cats! Annabelle trills all the time when she's really happy, and I think she was chirping this morning with Thatch.
-
Went to the bank - the walk was helpful and I figured out why I was having trouble getting to the next thing. Once home, I cut the bit that I'd written and wrote something new that was much better. So, almost three pages so far. Now I'll eat, then continue and see if I can do four or five more before the phone conversation with Muse Margaret.

She was perfect. The one thing they never mentioned in the interviews was how his mother and his two wives are all essentially the same.

I like Acorn.

We have been caught in a rain storm without our umbrella. The weather report was clear before we began walking. Fortunately we we passing the benches under an awning at the park and stopped as the rain began. Keith looked online and said it should pass in about five minutes.

We also like Acorn.

Finished the last of Rohmer’s Six Moral Tales. Great set of films. The set came with two books that I also read. I’m going to feel a little loss.
Oh,well. Back to Renoir. Or Bergman.

Aww, they are very cute.

Was that a Criterion set of the Rohmer, DR John G.?

Incredible kitties.
I must give the nod to Birch, or whichever one is on the right in the picture of the three. In that photo, she looks exactly like my long-ago Muffin.
-
This kitten looks a lot like the next kitten I am not getting. Look at the white around the eyes. I love this look.

Muse Margaret loved the reinvention of the character and all the new dialogue and the handful of other changes, so all is well and well is all. I've done nine pages so far and if I'm feeling my oats this evening I'll try to do another seven or eight. I have four or five more pages to go in the sequence I'm in, then it will be the final twenty pages or whatever it actually comes out to be.

Isn't one of them mislabeled? The one on the far right in the first photo, labeled Birch, is the one that's labeled Acorn in the second photo. If the first photo is correct I'd say that the kitten on the right in the second photo is Birch, not Acorn.

Why didn't the photos repeat?

TOD;
I liked MOONSTRUCK quite a bit, but everyone kept raving about how great Cher was. I felt Cher was OK, but it was Nicholas Cage who I thought was great. He wasn't known then, so people ignored him. I haven't seen a lot of his movies since, but found him so-so in those I did see.

But was it consensual? ;)

Yes, sir. It was.

Today we clean the house for the housecleaners who are coming out tomorrow.
Clean or straighten?
Mostly straighten, but definitely some cleaning of a few areas I wouldn't expect anyone to go near, or wouldn't want them to. For instance, I always clean the cats' eating and pooping areas. I'm just using "clean" in a very all-inclusive sense here.

Is anyone watching the Masterpiece Theatre production of Victoria besides me? Tonight I cried like a baby at the final scene between Queen Victoria and the dying Lord Melbourne. I liked the first season, but this season, with the Mudlark, problems of family, politics, and intrigue is even better. Great casting, to boot. Diana Rigg has a wonderful role as one of Victoria's ladies in waiting; just when you think she's no more than a boring old lady joke, she surprises you.

Jane, I didn't feel season 5 was as strong as the previous seasons. It got off to a slow start, but it did warm up and reach typical A PLACE TO CALL HOME fireworks. I would encourage you to stay with it. There are some events later in the season which you should see, some unexpected twists. There's a season 6 in the works, so you'd want to see season 5, assuming season 6 is back to their usual standards.

Watching a Balanchine documentary on his birthday. Peter Martens does not come off bad, but he doesn’t come off exactly good either. Sadly the director didn’t get the basic fact that people watch dance documentaries to see dancing. There wasn’t much for the first 25 minutes.
