Well, you've read the notes, the notes collected weird things, and now it is time for you to post until the collector cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: LEITMOTIF!
-
Good morning, all!
-
DR vixmom, I understand your dream completely. The news about the Michigan governor and the Fay Orange Slug's vitriolic response terrify me. I no longer want him to lose the election, since he's already setting up situations to ensure that he does not. I want to know he's no longer alive.
-
DR TCB, Sasha is indeed a beauty. I think she's just a bit smaller than Stella.
-
This morning I need to wander down to Staples and photocopy sheets of orchestra score so I can begin this job. I would like to finish the work by Monday.
-
Last night, we watched HEARTS OF THE WEST (Jeff Bridges, Andy Griffith, etal).
Hadn't seen it for years.
Not as good as I remembered it.
-
Congratulations, DR Vixmom, on the minus 5!
I think they found their new home here. And then some. Although I did lose 15 in the hospital.
-
I love the music of Herbert Howells. In addition to the concerti and all the wonderful chamber music, his sacred choral music is the gold standard in the cathedrals of England, from since it was written through to today. Well, it would still be today, if choirs were singing.
-
Kitty cleanup is over and the bed is made. I'm trying to work up my enthusiasm for traveling two blocks on a walker.
-
Good morning, all.
-
My goal was to lose 80 lbs, and I lost 60 of that before the quarantine in March. I suspect I've added 20 lbs since then.
-
I’m ready for a nap.
-
Last night we watched the 1942 Rosalind Russell movie of My Sister Eileen. I wanted to like it. Give me Wonderful Town!
-
I’m ready for a nap.
Me, too.
-
I think I had to replace LEITMOTIF in my dryer last year.....it works fine now.
-
I shall have to see what I have to photograph to add to the Collection of Weird Things at HHW......
-
I shall have to see what I have to photograph to add to the Collection of Weird Things at HHW......
I suspect you and Former DR Michael Barnum could fill an encyclopedia! ;)
-
LOL DR ELMORE....you may be right.
I have photographed a few things that might be visible under the dust and shall post them later today.
-
Good morning, all.
-
visible under the dust
Perhaps that shall be my epigraph.
-
Last night we watched the 1942 Rosalind Russell movie of My Sister Eileen. I wanted to like it. Give me Wonderful Town!
I'm wondering if I've seen that one since I was a kid watching it on afternoon TV. That would almost certainly have been my first exposure to the My Sister Eileen story.
I got the 1955 Janet Leigh one last year, and I may have seen that long ago, too, but the Blu-ray is beautiful and it was truly like seeing it for the first time.
-
I'm sure I have a few things to contribute to the Weird Stuff collection, but it will take me a while to go through the house and see what the hell they are.
That Kimmel cylinder certainly is a prize. It's great when people can find things like that. I have no such luck, given my all too common names.
-
This morning was our cat Mikey's Biannual Senior Preventative Exam, and he did fine. He's somewhere around 11-12 years old, and is in fine fettle except for his dental issues. He's one of those who's had dental issues from day one, or at least since he was rescued from the streets and we adopted him at around age two. No extractions are called for, but he needs a good prophylaxis, which only worries me because it has to be done under general anesthesia, and that can be dangerous if the procedure "insults" the kidneys. And his last bloodwork indicated he's another in line for eventual kidney disease. Oy!
-
I just looked out the window, and it hit me all of the sudden: Fall's here!
The leaves, they are a-changin'.
-
~~~HEALTH VIBES~~~ for DC Mikey!
-
And the word of the day is: LEITMOTIF!
We don't need no stinkin' LEITMOTIFs! :P

I have decided I do not need to go to Staples. I have enough here. That's nice to know. I do need to take the recyclables to the basement and check last night's mail.
-
Well I have taken some photos.....but my favorite collectibles are on the tippy top ledge.....and have not been dusted for quite some time.....and the photos are horrifying....
I need she of the Evil Eye to come and help me.
My big ladder is out in the storage barn....and I can't negotiate it into the house without help....so those pictures will be deleted forthwith.
-
I have a few knick-knacks and other weird kitschy things, too, but the ones that come to mind are stored away in places I can't easily get to today. As I unearth them, which I was already planning to get done in the next few months, I will post them.
In the meantime, I can definitely provide some records. I pulled out the few I have of the type BK was talking about, and a few others that certainly qualify. It's REALLY hard getting clear pictures of them because of their glossy covers. Even those with not-so-glossy covers pick up glare from everywhere. I have no idea how professional photographers capture these things. But I think I got serviceable shots, and I'll be back later with the Evidence. Have to make a bank and supermarket run first.

Gasoline in these here parts is going for $2.17 per gal.

Every year I usually buy a cat wall calendar with the artwork of Lowell Herrero. Until now I have never looked for examples of all of his artwork. He loved to paint cats. (https://www.thegreatcat.org/the-cat-in-art-and-photos-2/cats-in-art-20th-century/lowell-herrero-1921-2015-american/)

Maybe you can lose it now that you are out walking again.

Vibes he will be fine.

Same here.
-
DR Jrand70 - just noted the quote on your posts. Boy, is that right for the times we are living in.
-
Maybe you can lose it now that you are out walking again.
One can hope!
-
DR Jane, I was not hereforto (that's one word!) familiar with the work of Lowell Herrero. Love it!
-
Mikey will be fine. We just have to discuss with the vet the possible risks (down the road) of the anesthesia, and of course the cost, because she hasn't given us an estimate on it yet.
-
Along the lines of the "Music to..." albums that BK was talking about, I always enjoyed keeping this Jackie Gleason one around for the title and cover art.
-
And since it seems to be cocktail hour...
-
Oh good Lord, here we go again with one that "fails security check".
It's maddening. These are all the goddamned same.
Anyway, on to another...
-
As I recall, the music on this one is forgettable, and I believe the record itself might not even be playable. But I always loved this jacket design. The opening for the record is at the top.
-
But this one is my favorite NYC themed album by far.
-
For some good bawdy fun, the songs and readings on this album are very well done, and a delight.
As far as comedy records go, however, I'm shocked and saddened to find "The Great Crepitation Contest" one missing.
-
Okay, time to get serious again. How about some Les Baxter?
-
And whoever this is.
-
It must be movie night!
-
Later, before it's time to retire for the night...
-
And finally...
-
And what would a proper listening evening be without a set of record coasters?
-

-
Th-th-th-that's all, folks!

And I have such sweet memories of that one.
-
Loved the collection, ChasSmith.
My only objects are a series of Star Wars toys, many in the wrapping, that you got at Taco Bell.
-
I remember all those troubles LEITMOTIF used to get into.
-
Onward!

Three!

TOD
I started Sylvia Scarlett. Tomorrow’s epic will be Akira Kurosawa’s Ran, which I haven’t seen since it first came out.

I am pleased to have introduced you to him. This is the cover on my new cat calendar.

I decided to try the mini calendar this year and am surprised how small it is.

I am enjoying the photos of your photos.

People like it. I never did. I might if it had the Bernstein score.
-
I've almost finished scoring the singer's lead-in. Took me about an hour.
-
I think tonight we will watch Noel Coward's Cavalcade. I think the last time I watched it was on VHS many years ago. There was lots of gossip about Diana Wynyard in the biography of London producer Binkie Beaumont, and I wanted to watch it again to see her. She was a London stage star, but most of her fellow actors detested her for her attitude and treatment of them.
-
My goal was to lose 80 lbs, and I lost 60 of that before the quarantine in March. I suspect I've added 20 lbs since then.
What's the joke? Something like, "I've been trying to lose 10 pounds...only 15 to go!"
:))

That's a great album design! Definitely worth having just for that.
-

My only objects are a series of Star Wars toys, many in the wrapping, that you got at Taco Bell.
I have a (complete?) collection of the stuffed Taco Bell dogs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItzyyVvmGjs) that had the sound chip.

Well, the Fat Orange Slug says he will do a medical review on Fox News. "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on Fox News?"
-
Very nice albums DR CHAS SMITH.
The NYC one is especially nice......I do not think I own any of the Music to ...... By - although I had some at one time.
I do think I have SEXERCISE but I don't think it's ever been out of the jacket.

Here are a few weird collectibles.....a push button wall telephone...

A jug of White Lightnin' corn liquor that was gifted to Edith Farmer from her sister Frances Farmer, when Frances visited her at Christmas in 1961.
Edith had used it as a candle holder in subsequent years - I corresponded with her for a few years before her death, and one day she sent me this with the story.....for some reason.

I took pictures of my three Marx tin dollhouses: a two-story De-Luxe model, a 1954 Ranch Model, and the popular 1961 Split Level model.
But as I wrote, they are on a ledge that I cannot reach and the photos with ALL of the dust and dirt were too horrifying for public consumption.
-
I don't have any weird or wacky collectibles.
-
I collect LEITMOTIFS.
-
They don't take up too much room.
-
;)

In other news, the weekend has begun in these here parts.
-
I love the music of Herbert Howells. In addition to the concerti and all the wonderful chamber music, his sacred choral music is the gold standard in the cathedrals of England, from since it was written through to today. Well, it would still be today, if choirs were singing.
That was a rather more drastic weight loss procedure than I am willing to engage upon at the moment....
Sending you gentle hugs and continued healing vibes
-
I’m enjoying all these collectible photos

You ain't seen nothing yet DR VIXMOM.
DR CHAS SMITH inspired me - but first a trip to the liberry for some timeless literature.

Think of us that suffer from insomnia. We rarely feel better ;D

Hello, everyone.
-
Kitty cleanup is over and the bed is made. I'm trying to work up my enthusiasm for traveling two blocks on a walker.
I would really like to see you find an intern, someone who could run errands and help in various ways.
-
Well, it's time for me to leave work and go to my mom's. Amazon says that a package is out for delivery, but it's not here yet, so I'll have to wait until Monday to get it. I hate it when that happens. :P
Be back later.
-
I just looked out the window, and it hit me all of the sudden: Fall's here!
The leaves, they are a-changin'.
Here, too. this morning I wore a jacket for the first time this season.
-
I went to the bagel bakery this morning, on my way to the hairdresser. Then stopped at my favorite food store on the way home. I haven't seen an almond croissant there since Covid started.
-
My hairdresser, Richard, was telling me about various clients he's had over the years. Helen Reddy was one of them. He worked for the studios for a number of years and was called in one day about dying a gorilla's hair. Yes, a live gorilla. For some reason, they wanted the gorilla's chest to be darker. Richard declined the job, but told a friend about it. The friend agreed, but ended up with a broken arm. The gorilla did not like having his hair dyed.
-
I actually went to bed early last night. I had to choose a not-so-interesting book, so I could put it down at a reasonable hour. I slept well for almost 8 hours. It was heavenly. Perhaps I need to read dullish books more often.
-
Nevertheless, I am ready for a nap. I can hardly keep my eyes open.
-
I'm up, I'm up - didn't get up until two, after ten hours of sleep. Feeling so much better these past three days.

I am very fond of much quirky advertising art, especially that which puts the company's name on everyday objects.

He goes to bed late but then usually sleeps a total of eight or more hours.

George & Tom did you receive your ballots today? I have a friend in Olympia who received hers.

They don't take up too much room.
In the head, they can take up too much room.

Picked up a couple of packages, made hot dogs and ate them (very good), and in about twenty minutes I'll watch something.

Sylvia Scarlett is dreadful. Great cast. Everything about the script is lousy. I'm surprised to see John Collier's name on it.

We were speaking of pet fostering earlier. I have a friend who fostered 4 kittens and ended up keeping two.
Now she is fostering 3 more kittens.

Having finished a mini-series of "Pride and Prejudice," which I had never seen, but enjoyed, we have started on "Jane Eyre."

Hello, DR Laura.

That's how I got Joshie. And Sasha. And Sassy.
-
I always expect DC Leonard to come leaping out of that box.
-
Superstitious and silly, but I have heard that shelters find the black cats to be the most difficult to get adopted out.
-
He played in that box for one day. That's as long as his interest is in any toy.
-
That's because black cats are boring. I tell Leonard that. And he purrs at me.
-

This is why we are not fostering though I feel very guilty about this fact. Also I am on 3 different medications for my eyes and cats do tend to make them itchy and swollen.
-
Black dogs, too. I think it's partially because their features aren't as pronounced in the mugshot for the websites.
-
I always expect DC Leonard to come leaping out of that box.
Make sure you’re wearing your 3-D glasses when he does!
-
cats do tend to make them itchy and swollen.
Sadly true for many.
-

This is true due to stupid superstitions. Of all the cats they must really be kept inside and safe on Halloween.

That would be coolio! ;D

;D That must be a bit frustrating.
-

;D
-
That flopping fish toy -- he played with it before it was charged up. After it charged up and flopped, he looked at it and walked away.
-
I never had a problem letting the fosters go. Because I guess I am cold and unfeeling.

My excitement for the day was purchasing some new plastic cutting boards at cuttingboards.com.
You can choose a custom material and size and thickness, and all sorts of options for customizing.
It was time.

I like your quote, DR Laura.

And with that...
-
I am afraid I'm off to bed.

SIX?

Good night, all.

I think the hardest one for me to let go was The Little Orange Kitten, as I called her. I wouldn't name her. We had Joshie, Sasha, and Rex, and our house was just too small. I was fortunate that I had a contact at the shelter. She got adopted 15 minutes after they opened the day she went in.

Black dogs, too. I think it's partially because their features aren't as pronounced in the mugshot for the websites.
Twice we rescued black dogs. The first one I found a home for, the second one we ended up keeping for 10 years. Trying to find homes for them was difficult as people wanted them for yard guard dogs >:(
The first one was a Great Dane mix pup. We were going to San Diego, while I was pregnant with Bryan, the next day for a short vacation we had saved up for. The pup took our vacation money and time.
The next one was Belle who followed us home when we lived in PA. She was around seven years old and no one wanted her. Since the family loved her, and she was my shadow, we had no choice but to keep her. She was an amazing dog.
-
If I found her on my patio today, I'd keep her.

That I sincerely doubt.

I just read it :))

Wishes she still has a good home.

DR singdaw I was just kind of wandering around the inner web looking for a good quote.....and that one showed up. I, too, thought it was most appropriate for the times.

DR JANE - I thought it was quite nice of her, too.
She had written a book about Frances and was quite a champion for her, although many folks thought her crazy. She was just trying to defend her sister against a lot of what she thought was misinformation.
I wrote her after I read her book and when she found out that I knew Jean Ratcliffe, the woman who wrote Frances' autobiography, she wrote me regularly trying to find out things......that I didn't know.
I thought she was a bit confused, but still someone who loved and cared for her sister.....it was quite a surprise to find the package one day. I saved all of her letters - she died 20 years ago or so....
-
My friend/neighbor in PA raised Seeing Eye pups. One year and then they left. Belle and her first pup, a Black Lab named Bree, were the best of friends. If they don't pass the family that raised them gets first offer to take the pup back. I had dibs on her even though we already had three dogs and multiple cats. I loved that dog. She passed as I was sure she would, just too good of a dog.
-
My sister has a mother and six kittens living in her garage.....she feeds them with the help of her neighbor.....
Monday she is supposed to feed them and then nothing on Tuesday. A rescue is going to come out and trap the mother, take her in for a spay and then bring her home.....they will do the same with the kittens when they get a bit older....

If this isn’t blocked by a paywall, it’s an interesting look at the Cleveland Orchestra which has recently started its own recording label. It includes some comparisons of a few pieces going back to Szell’s early days.

He played in that box for one day. That's as long as his interest is in any toy.
Sounds like JB.

I like your quote, DR Laura.
I do, too.

Finished with my viewing.

It's finally cooled off around here.

My hairdresser, Richard, was telling me about various clients he's had over the years. Helen Reddy was one of them. He worked for the studios for a number of years and was called in one day about dying a gorilla's hair. Yes, a live gorilla. For some reason, they wanted the gorilla's chest to be darker. Richard declined the job, but told a friend about it. The friend agreed, but ended up with a broken arm. The gorilla did not like having his hair dyed.
Oh, my goodness! :o

George & Tom did you receive your ballots today? I have a friend in Olympia who received hers.
Yes, I got mine today. I went to my sister's today at my lunch time, and my niece was in the middle of filling hers out. I'll fill mine out this weekend and mail it on Monday. No dilly-dallying this year!!

Picked up a couple of packages, made hot dogs and ate them (very good), and in about twenty minutes I'll watch something.
What a coinkydink! I had a chili dog for lunch today. :)

It's great! It reminds me of this joke:
Them: You need to get into shape.
Me: Round is a shape.

George, I expected you to take the ballots to a drop off box instead of mailing them.
-
And yes, I meant ballots as you tend to run errands for your family. :)

Yes! I'll put mine in a drop box. There's one just down a block and across the street.

My niece and sister can drop off their own ballots...or my sister will get her boyfriend to do it. ::)

Okay, time to get serious again. How about some Les Baxter?
I would rather have some Lex Barker!

I don't have any weird or wacky collectibles.
Oh, but your husband does.
