Well, you've read the notes, the notes played in traffic, and now it is time for you to post until the playing in traffic cows come home.

I'm so sorry. :( He was only 75 years old.

I got up extra early to begin the laundry, and we have no hat water in the building, which pisses me off for two reasons:
   1. I like to use the wash in warm water;
   2. I wanted to take a hot bath.

Last night I watched The Truman Show on TCM, and up to falling asleep in the last third I was finding it more fascinating than before. It happened to be the third Peter Weir film I’ve watched in the past couple of weeks, which probably had something to do with it.

Ha - i went to the gasoline station for $15 worth of gasoline.  I hate  to have to guess how much I need since I have to prepay.....so it's not quite full.....price $2.899 per gallon.

Then to Lowe's to get a thing so that I can extend the dryer vent hose......I don't like the thing I bought that vents into the house....it's kinda creepy.

Then to Goodwill where I found a small pewter tray that I needed - right there on the shelf.  I also purchased the Phantom of the Opera complete Broadway recording - I only had the Highlights CD.

And a book.

I don't know the answer to either of those questions.

However the sun enters Uranus today - so expect surprises, which I only think is to be expected with such an arrangement.

Earth sign Taurus is the key player in the sun-Uranus conjunction today, bringing a sense of steadiness to what could otherwise be a chaotic but exciting day. Change is at the root of this progressive union, but Taurus is here to remind you to take it slow and easy.

Don’t get us wrong: Today’s conjunction has the potential to be life-altering, but because the sudden changes that it brings can cause nervousness and tension, it’s best to take a patient, common sense approach when possible. You don’t have to let it completely rattle you, but this revolutionary energy definitely calls for you to keep an open mind as you try to navigate the things that will inevitably try to throw you off guard!

BK:  Did your Theater World photo collection include anything of the original run of The Fantasticks at the Sullivan Street Playhouse?

From what I've seen, photographic evidence of that production is lacking in comparison with other shows. The book reproductions are - I hope - bad representation of the originals, their gray scale is total crap, and there's not a single "geographic" shot capturing the stage or the interior of the Playhouse at all.

You did well. We Californians would love to pay $2.899/gal. And the pewter tray sounds nice.

Dryers really should NOT be vented into the house. Lint plus warm air causes mold. Really best to vent outside.

Contractors often vent into walls because it's easier, but it should be against the law.(Not that that would stop some of them.) There was a horrible case in Virginia maybe 20 years ago where a small boy had 5 or 6 surgeries to clear up a medical problem, to no avail. They finally learned that the problem was a dryer vented into a wall cavity. It was a haven for mold, which was causing the problem. Vent was fixed and the child got well.

Had a bacon and cheese omelet from a jernt I'd never been to - the Blu Jam Cafe, one of these Sherman Oaks trendy places where people will wait for forty-five minutes. I had it delivered, thanks to the second of my ten-dollar off coupons on Postmates. I specifically instructed no potatoes, no toast, just the omelet and even said "thanks!" Upon opening the bag I could smell the potatoes immediately. No toast, so they go that right. The omelet was more like a big pancake, which is not an omelet at all and it was sitting on top of these diced potatoes. So, I extracted the omelet from the box and spent five minutes removing all the potatoes that had stuck to the bottom. The omelet was mediocre and the first I've ever had where the cheese was only on top - all omelets have cheese melted in the middle along with the bacon. This was just kind of gross, actually.

And now, thanks to a build-up of Amazon credit over the past year, plus an unused Amazon gift card, I'm now the owner of the Ormandy box set. It just dropped in price by ten bucks, of course, which is annoying and which I might call about, because that's just unfair to those who purchase these things. At the price, these 120 CDs come out to about 2.40 each. And I'm listening to disc one - discs one and two are the earliest recordings in the set - and the sound is amazing for 1944 and 1945. And Ormandy is just the berries, I must say. This is just the tonic I needed in this stressful time and it will make the next two days much easier. And there's lots of repertoire I'm not familiar with, which is also fun.

I don't know the answer to either of those questions.

However the sun enters Uranus today - so expect surprises, which I only think is to be expected with such an arrangement.

Earth sign Taurus is the key player in the sun-Uranus conjunction today, bringing a sense of steadiness to what could otherwise be a chaotic but exciting day. Change is at the root of this progressive union, but Taurus is here to remind you to take it slow and easy.

Don’t get us wrong: Today’s conjunction has the potential to be life-altering, but because the sudden changes that it brings can cause nervousness and tension, it’s best to take a patient, common sense approach when possible. You don’t have to let it completely rattle you, but this revolutionary energy definitely calls for you to keep an open mind as you try to navigate the things that will inevitably try to throw you off guard!

Talk about life-altering...my new supervisor, who's only been here for a couple of months, was just fired today! :o

 :o  That was fast.

Wow.

Only the one organizer so far - I suspect the Facebook algorithm is once again working its wonders, so I posted it again.

I "liked" your post to boost the algorithm.

I'd read/heard that just "liking" something on FB doesn't help.  You need to actually post a message, even just a smilie face, to affect the algorithms...but that's just what I've heard.

Darn.  I thought in the past Bruce seemed to think it did help.

On disc five - even the warhorses sound great and while it became very fashionable for musical snobs to denigrate Mr. Ormandy over the years, simply  because he was one of the most popular classical recording artists ever, suddenly all these snobs are changing their tune and raving about this set. They disgust me, these people. Oh, I guess he WAS pretty great after all. These people should all be put in a room together and made to atone for their many sins.

Ha - i went to the gasoline station for $15 worth of gasoline.  I hate  to have to guess how much I need since I have to prepay.....so it's not quite full.....price $2.899 per gallon.

Then to Lowe's to get a thing so that I can extend the dryer vent hose......I don't like the thing I bought that vents into the house....it's kinda creepy.

Then to Goodwill where I found a small pewter tray that I needed - right there on the shelf.  I also purchased the Phantom of the Opera complete Broadway recording - I only had the Highlights CD.

And a book.

You did well. We Californians would love to pay $2.899/gal. And the pewter tray sounds nice.

Dryers really should NOT be vented into the house. Lint plus warm air causes mold. Really best to vent outside.

What about a ventless dryer?

I mean if you can make me like a Beethoven symphony, you're pretty great. His tempos are never sluggish and he gets the job done. And the sound on these mono recordings really is superb. And there's a lot of American music in this set, so that's great and very little in this set has ever made it to CD. I'd say, even in month five, that this is the box set of the year.

DR Jeanne - I checked on The Restaurant to see how many episodes are left. Two left in Season One, with 3 hours until it disappears. We're not going to make it. What I didn't realize is that there's also a Season Two, Three, and Four!

Sing, I finished THE RESTAURANT season 1. It was certainly not predictable.

The series is still available, as I suspected, but is no longer free. $2.99/episode or $19.99 for the season isn't cheap, IMHO. But you can subscribe to Sundance Now for $6.99/mo and watch it, which I think is done through Amazon. I don't know what else is on Sundance Now.

Also, I read an article that says that after S1 you should skip to S4, titled THE RESTAURANT: 1951, before going to S2. S2 and S3 take place after 1951.

I've been reading Minette Walters' THE CHAMELEON'S SHADOW. I used to read a lot of Minette, but hadn't done so in maybe ten years. This one is quite good. I keep saying I'll look for lighter novels, but somehow keep going back to mysteries and other at least somewhat darkish works. That's where the drama is.

Off now to read.
