There was — still is, actually — the most beautiful cool gentle wind out there, and it will be great to thoroughly air the house out today.

Post by: elmore3003 on May 24, 2019, 04:24:09 AM: Last night, while we watched a Midsomer Murders episode - we're on season 18 now - Stella kept eating my popcorn.

I think we have now reached the tolerance phase: Annabelle and Thatch, depending on their mood, either play with her or ignore her. When they tire of her, they run away. Thatch has begun to correct her, and Stella seems to be learning that playtime is not all daytime.

Can you say: flavor?

DELICIOUS.

I got a top loading washer because it was a LOT cheaper, and it would've taken YEARS to make up the difference. It's been 12 1/2 years since I got them. I wonder if that's how long it would've taken. ::) Of course, price isn't the only consideration.

Title: Re: GEE, WE HAVE OUR AUDIOBOOK READER FOR GEE
Post by: bk on May 24, 2019, 12:58:45 PM: Been on the phone with acx about many things - very helpful guy. GEE is weird because Diana isn't on the site as a narrator - I've told her she may want to do that, as it makes everything easier, the specs are right at her fingertips, she uploads all the files and it's done. If she doesn't, then we remove the book and start over and I do all that myself - I'm sure it's easy. She'd get me all the files and I'd upload them. She'd still have to look at the specs page and figure all that out. But the interesting thing with GEE is that they want separate files for each chapter - that's easy for every book I've written EXCEPT this book, which only has two chapters, one per part. So, we have to break those into increments now - so perhaps five or six increments of about twenty pages per increment and then the narrator begins each increment with Chapter One, A, Chapter One B, etc. And it actually may have to be Part One, Chapter One A, B, C, D, E, F. We'll figure all that out.

The other book is much easier as there are twenty-one chapters and each chapter gets its own file. And I've hired that gal, too. And she's reading it now and in a week will do the first fifteen or twenty pages first, I'll hear, give notes and on we'll go. I'm also going to give her an mp3 of me reading Patrick Bronstein so she can hear the rhythm of him and what I hear as his voice. That will help her. I think she'll "get" all the other characters.

I wondered about that. It's not a great movie. But the story is interesting. I think Brando was too full of himself at this point in his career.

Despite everything, she and her husband were in good spirits and she had enough energy for a nice long visit.

Still a great movie.

Post by: bk on May 24, 2019, 07:36:05 PM: Endless telephonic calls today. I picked up one package, had a quick Taco Bell fix and just 1000 calories, and have been listening to music and trying to relax even a little bit. I'm gonna have to be up by eight tomorrow and on the road by nine, as it's a forty-minute drive and I don't want to get there late and I want a parking space. I've printed out the directions already.

Post by: John G. on May 24, 2019, 08:26:22 PM: Watched a not-great movie called The Mercy, a true story about a man's attempt to sail around the world. Colin Firth, Rachel Weisz, David Thewlis and lackluster direction.

Post by: John G. on May 24, 2019, 08:27:41 PM: Now I'm watching a documentary on Canadian musician Randy Bachman from The Guess Who and BTO. I've always loved his music, but the doc could have been better. Thankfully, it's short.

Title: Re: GEE, WE HAVE OUR AUDIOBOOK READER FOR GEE
Post by: bk on May 24, 2019, 08:35:39 PM: I have discovered one thing about these three humungous Hindemith box sets. Box one has six CDs, box two five, and box three four - and you can't go through them all at once - you have to take a Hindemith break, to cleanse the palate, as it were, otherwise it's too many flavors coming at you all at once. So, I'll move on to a few other things shortly then go back and finish box one (I listened to box two first, since that arrived before the others) - I only have about forty minutes left of box one anyway.

Post by: Jeanne on May 24, 2019, 09:18:56 PM: Moving is so much easier when you have the luxury of time.

I always pack my nonessential stuff first--extra bedding, clothes I don't wear much, etc--and label it "N-E". The stuff I use all the time is labelled "ESS" or just "E" and I know that that needs to be unpacked first. Getting the nonessential packed stuff out of the old house and into the new house really does help.

Post by: FJL on May 24, 2019, 10:49:17 PM: On our Boardwalk, a neighbor Alan's mom was asked if her son Alan would mind being filmed running across the Boardwalk to maybe be used in a movie "Julia." We all assumed it as a big screen version of the TV series.

Even if we were given a million guesses, the idea that a movie was being made about Lillian Hellman would likely have been the 2-millionth guess. (all pre-internet then)
