Well, you've read the notes, the notes were psycho, and now it is time for you to post until the psycho cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: REGINA!
-
First post after BK.
-
Still awake. I have not crashed yet.
-
No one to chat with here.
-
I guess I will play a few games of gin rummy and then try again to crash.
-
No properties to go check out this weekend, except one house in Lacey.
-
Perhaps some will be added tomorrow!
-
The house in Lacey is okay, but it only has one bathroom.
-
If I am going to buy a place, damn it, I want what I want.
-
If I am going to buy a place, damn it, I want what I want.
Exactly! Just curious, where in Lacey is it?
-
I've been editing files to make a CD. I'm almost done, but I'll go now and say good night now. Good night. There, I said it. ;D
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
The cats and I got about nine hours of sleep, so we have no complaints this morning.
-
BK, my memory of seeing the original PSYCHO agrees with yours. I've only seen the film twice since then: at the old Carnegie Hall Cinema on Seventh Avenue around 1984 and once on home video VHS. I love the film but I find it too creepy to watch just for the fun of it.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Hello, DR ChasSmith!
-
Top o’ the morning, DR Elmore!
-
The funeral for Rob Berman's father is tomorrow/ I wish I could attend but I am meeting a friend from out of town, and it's an important meeting.
Here's the information on Howard Berman:

-
I have an eye appointment at 1:30 this afternoon. I hope it goes well and that it's an easy trip.
-
Sad about Mr. Berman.
I can see the resemblance.
-
Well, it’s Friday.
And we SPRING FORWARD this weekend, let us not forget.
-
A lovely review, and I like that he takes the trouble to include photos and posters and whatnot.
-
So, A Chorus Line was a one-day programming job. I like that. What a refreshing change. Today I’ll make sure I can play it decently for our orchestra reading tomorrow, then load the stuff into the car so I can leave at seven in the damned morning.
-
Piano, Rhodes, celesta. Back to basics. Gotta love it.
-
And one brief string patch in the opening number. Go figure.
-
I've been wondering how much and by whom Judge T.S. Ellis III was paid to let Paul Manafort off the hook.
-
Annabelle is demanding a building patrol, so I must keep my baby happy.
-
The PSYCHO revelations are fascinating. And I would like to have that set someday, for all the reasons.
-
I am being informed that it’s high time I got out of this recliner and fed these critters.
-
What is in my CD player? Well, actually it is the Japanese OC of Wicked, but I just finished it and haven't replaced it with the next one up, which is the Dutch OC of Les Misérables. Not that I understand a word of either language, but this is my personal mania.
It all started with Alice in Wonderland fifty years ago. I have maybe a dozen translations, including Nabokov's Russian version, two different Japanese versions, a shortened retelling in Farsi (a gift from an Iranian student from back when they were our friends. I don't have the Australian Aboriginal version which has Alice in the Dreamtime.
But I have both Esperanto translations, the first of which was published in 1910 and I had to have rebound.
So that's how my descent into madness began.

-
I finally got to do that. Whoopie!
-
Moving right along, then I somehow started on The Little Prince, but I just have a few: English, French, Esperanto, and--joy of joys!--when our cruise ship stopped at Aruba, I wondered off the tourist track and found a little bookshop that had it in Papamientu!
I didn't even know what Papamientu was at the time, aso I picked up a grammar too. It's a Pidgin of Dutch and Portuguese, if you can imagine.
-
But my collections are nothing. Check out Translations of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland on Wikipedia.
-
Good morning to all.
-
THE BATES MOTEL was an unsold television pilot.
-
I was perhaps 5 or 6 when it aired on tv (NBC night at the movies?). I had no idea what was going to happen. I went screaming out of the living room after the shower scene and had nightmares for the next couple of nights.
-
Psycho is scarier than a LOT of scary movies released nowadays......
-
THE CARDINAL has arrived in Indiana.
-
Still awake. I have not crashed yet.
Sorry. I did fall asleep, and fell right back to sleep every time I woke up.
-
I managed to get a little over 6 hours of sleep.
-
If I am going to buy a place, damn it, I want what I want.
Absolutely.
-
The cats and I got about nine hours of sleep, so we have no complaints this morning.
Heavenly.

Maryland is a bit far to go unless you had a ride.

Continuing the drama of my obsession, it began to apply to vinyl back in the sixties. Anyone remember the Schwann Catalog? You could get just about any record with a 15% discount, and I began blowing my meager budget on musicals, but specifically on foreign casts of My Fair Lady.
And I didn't even have a phonograph! I used my roommate's.
The Mexican cast has Placido Domingo--in the chorus. The German translation of the lyrics is wonderful. I know because when I was in Germany a decade later I found the entire libretto in paperback.
There were two Israeli cast recordings, one in Hebrew and one in Yiddish, both with Bomba J. Zur as Higgins.
I also have Fiddler on the Roof in both languages.

Poor thing. Of course you probably should have been in bed to begin with.
-
DR WFO you have an interesting collection.

Yes! I remember the evening. in one of our nice department store record departments, that I bought my first Schwann. I can't say what year it would have been, but somewhere in 1963-1965. I think I asked the clerk about it and bought it on the spot, and I was soon buying them every month throughout high school and college years. The brilliant thing about Schwann was that it not only told you what was available and new and going out of print, but the organization and accuracy of composers and works was second to none. I only have three or four issues left, which I retained partly for the purpose of modeling my own (as yet unfinished) record collection database on it. And I still find reason to look something up in one now and then.
-
The Schwanns are a monument to what an incredible world it was that we took for granted.
And in a less high-falutin' comment, I must say I greatly admire and am a bit envious of your foreign language collection. I only ever bought MI BELLA DAMA, and maybe one or two other shows I can't even think of now. I still have that LP, and was actually chagrined to discover not that long ago that it had been available in stereo as well as mono which is what I'd found in a record store in the Lincoln Road Mall (Miami Beach) shortly after we'd seen the film version in its roadshow engagement down there.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I want a Schwann’s catalog. Now.
-
Hello all!
-
Well, it’s Friday.
And we SPRING FORWARD this weekend, let us not forget.
Oh! I forgot. I hope an announcement is made at the play for the actors...if it hasn't already been done!

I work for a library and I remember Schwann's catalog (not to be confused with Schwan's Home Service (http://www.schwans.com/)). Have either of you (or anyone else) heard of CastAlbums.org (http://castalbums.org/)? You create your own profile and can list whatever musical theater (but not operas or movie soundtracks that aren't movie musicals, or things like that) or related recordings that you own or want to own. I've been keeping track of (some of) my recordings, and have even added listings of things that weren't there yet, like several Kritzerland recordings. And if you're looking to buy something, many of them have links to different websites to purchase items. :D

THE BATES MOTEL was an unsold television pilot.
Interesting. That show was in 1987. Eventually, there was a TV series called Bates Motel (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2188671/reference) from 2013-2017 with Freddie Highmore, who is now the lead in The Good Doctor (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6470478/reference).
-
I finally got to do that. Whoopie!
Congrats, William! It's all in the timing! ;D
-
I've been wondering how much and by whom Judge T.S. Ellis III was paid to let Paul Manafort off the hook.
I'd read that Manafort was probably going to get an easy deal from Mueller because Mueller is really working to get a better case to go after bigger fish, if you know what I mean...and I think that you do. ;)

I'm up, I'm up - thirty minutes after the alarm should have gone off - so I have to shave and hurry and scurry.

Good afternoon.
-
Just loaded the car.
Now what were we just saying about me not having taken up the piccolo?
-
Interview done, and I'll now go pick up mail and get something to eat. It went very well.
-
Went to a carnitas place today that friends have been raving about. Yes, the food was excellent, but add to that weather in the 70s and a chance to eat outdoors. Best of all, there was a sweet, beautiful black kitty on the patio. More restaurants should supply those.
-
No mail, no packages, important envelope now two days late, and had In N Out for food.

Yes, all restaurants should supply a furry pet on the patio.

Five minutes from home the rain began. We were so close to returning home dry.
-
DR TCB have you thought of this this living option? (https://gritpost.com/retiree-holiday-inn-senior-home/?fbclid=IwAR3oOi0iL4IaqW6k_qKEgdvQDxwAdFMaTnPRcZu7Q07yea4jDde7xjGb8nk) ;)

I'd read several articles years ago that talked about retiring on a cruise ship!
-
A Kitty on the Patio.
That is the title of the second volume of my meowmoirs.
-
Page three? Really?
-
I've just been relaxing, and will shortly sit down to watch something, although I suppose I could watch something standing up.

DR TCB would probably like that, except the medical care on a ship is rather bad.
-
We had a break from the rain and went out to dinner. It had returned by the time we left the restaurant.
-
Good evening.
-
Someone donated baking supplies, so I will do a baking tomorrow before the soup ladies get to the kitchen.
-
Nice. What will you be baking?
-
Most areas of the United States observe daylight saving time (DST), the exceptions being Arizona (except for the Navajo, who do observe daylight saving time on tribal lands), Hawaii, and the overseas territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands.
Now Pennsylvania is thinking of joining them.
-
Cornmeal muffins.
-
The last thing we need here in Arizona is more daylight in the summer.
-
I found this headline "Lawmakers may put Washington state on daylight saving time for good".
-
I just wish the entire country would pick a time and stop switching.
-
Cornmeal muffins.
They sound good.
-
The last thing we need here in Arizona is more daylight in the summer.
You truly don't.
-
I used to love Daylight Saving time and hated when we returned to the darker evenings. Now, I would not mind if we stopped changing.
-
I found this headline "Lawmakers may put Washington state on daylight saving time for good".
The above headline is from February 2019.
The following story is from January 2019
Washington state lawmakers are once again considering bills to exempt Washington state from Daylight Saving Time. Here's why one sponsor thinks the effort will succeed this time.
-
I found this headline "Lawmakers may put Washington state on daylight saving time for good".
I'd heard about that, too. And I agree! The "real" time is now only a third of the year, anyway.
-
And now, I must be off to the theater. Tonight's our official opening night! Pray for Rosemary's baby. I'm sure that it'll be good...just as long as the tech stuff doesn't goober up again! ;)
Until later!
-
It is confusing.
-

But what about the proposal to stay on Standard Time?
-
I would think Florida is another state that does not need Daylight Saving all year, yet....
Last year, Florida legislature passed a bill that would allow Florida to stay in Daylight Saving Time year-round, however, the state cannot make the change without federal approval.
-
If states decide to make changes in opposite directions we could become rather confusing, as it is in Arizona.
However, the daylight saving situation within Arizona is even more confusing. While most of the state ignores daylight saving time, the Navajo Nation, which covers part of northeastern Arizona, observes it. Meanwhile, the Hopi Reservation, which is surrounded entirely by the Navajo Nation, does not. And within the Hopi Reservation sits a small slice of the Navajo Nation that, you guessed it, does observe daylight saving time.
Long story short: If you’re driving through northeastern Arizona, you might want to ask for the time instead of relying on your own watch.

That would be confusing on the East coast for the children of snowbirds!

Just another reason for kids up north to pretend they cannot figure out when it's too late to call their grandparents. :)

What LGBTQ folks need is a device that tells us when you're in a city that allows gay discrimination and when you cross the city line to where gay discrimination is illegal. :(

Good afternoon.
Interested in the origin of THAT quote!

We had to hold the house because 35, count 'em, 35 people hadn't shown up! It turns out that there were a couple of big accidents on I-5. They arrived and it's all going well...so far.

I went painting with Leslie again

The picture won't post

But it's in FB if anyone cares to take a peek

Lovely. This is my favorite painting from your classes.

I finishing off The Cuckoo's Calling and have started The Silkworm. I'm not sure about the casting but I like the writing.
-
I could binge watch the rest of the series.
-
Let's move on ...
-
Five!
-
Hello, 2 guests!
-
I also have a delux, 2-disc set of Dennis Hopper's infamous The Last Movie that I want to watch. Is it as bad as everyone says? Or is it the classic everyone on the two-disc set says?
-
Good night, all.
-
Quiet evening.
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Good evening.
-
Page 5? Really?
-
Another quiet day at home.
-
And another COLD night in the Northwest.
-
Temperatures are down in the twenties, again.
-
But they say we are going to have a dry and sunny weekend.
-
We might actually get up to 50 degrees by Sunday.
-
Well, it is an improvement over the past two months.
-
I have been reading and dosing.
-
It has been really cold this winter.
-
But we are less than two weeks away from Spring.
-
Hoo + Ray!
-
I hope opening night went well for George.
-
I have not been doing any reading since that book about the Lusitania.
-
And that has been, at least, a month.
-
I don’t think I have read anything since.
-
And now, I must be off to the theater. Tonight's our official opening night! Pray for Rosemary's baby. I'm sure that it'll be good...just as long as the tech stuff doesn't goober up again! ;)
Until later!
Opening night vibes!
Thanks, John!

Hi, George.
-
We had to hold the house because 35, count 'em, 35 people hadn't shown up! It turns out that there were a couple of big accidents on I-5. They arrived and it's all going well...so far.
:o
It turns out that it wasn't too bad. We only started about 5 minutes late.
-
Hi, Tom.
-
I hope opening night went well for George.
It did, Tom! NO major mistakes at all! WHEW!! And only a coyple of minor ones that the audience wouldn't even notice.

PAGE SIX DANCE!!
-
How was the show?
It was great! The audience loved it.
-
After the show, a bunch of us went to McMenamin's The Spar and sat and chatted and waited for 45, count 'em forty-five minutes for our food! :o
-
It was good, but I wonder if they only had one cook.
-
Anyway, we're done and although I posted several posts at the table, I'm now in my car, waiting for it to warm up (the inside, not the engine).
-
Well, I must be off now. My cat awaits...to be fed!
Until later...not much later, though.
-
Goodnight, George.
