The director demanded a Princess Telephone - so brought him down a Princess phone for Jan and a regular black dial phone for Brad.

He deigned to tell me he guessed the black one would work for Brad but that he wanted a PRINCESS phone for Jan.....I told him he had one....but he informed me that what I had given him was a SLIM LINE phone....

Which it was not...the SLIM LINE phone has the dial in the receiver....I finally realized what he wanted for Jan is a French style phone.....which he for some reason calls a Princess Phone....which it is not.....I really don't think Jan would use a French phone....but whatever...

It's going to be a long couple of months.....

I had a very enjoyable evening out, followed by a crappy sleep all night. Some little thing I ate or drank before going to bed did not agree with my esophagus and it was Heartburn City. I’ll be eating and drinking very gently today. Feeling better now, but definitely taking it easy. Glad I don’t have any obligations that have to be met today.

I tried my Dollar Tree Magic Eraser on my (leather) sneakers. It did help. Between that and what I did the other day, ie, cleaning the midsole, they look better. I'l have to keep the Magic Eraser in mind for oddball cleaning jobs.

Yesterday I saw Keith using the magic eraser on his tennis shoes.  I had forgotten we do that.

Today, I'm supposed to get the Blu-ray of the London production of Kinky Boots (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08TZ9QXFM/) that was shown on PBS a couple of years ago!  I recorded it, and could even make my own Blu-ray, but it's nice to have an officially released Blu-ray version.  Some shows have only had DVD releases, and I've gotten some them (like SpongeBob: The Musical (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GG2DH75/)), but I'm not getting many of those.  If they're broadcast in hi-def, why can't they be released in hi-def?? :-\

One phone was a rotary dial that hung on the wall.  I remember having to teach visiting children how to use it.  Their expressions when they attempted to use the phone were priceless.

Samuel E. Wright has died. Most people know him as Sebastian the crab in "The Little Mermaid." He was great in "The Tap Dance Kid." He had a showstopper in "Over Here!" with "Don't Shoot the Hooey to Me, Louie."

Singdaw, both of those messages bear more than an aching resemblance to the truth.

That 40-minute flute solo is also presented with faulty acoustics, so that half the notes sound like a rabbit caught in a meat grinder.

Thanks you.  I am baking cookies for the first time in two years.  I hope there are some left before he arrives.

It looks like I'm going to visit Mom in July. And I might go to my high school reunion while I'm there. Strange that they would overlap. It was supposed to have been last year, but something happened. Some pandemic or something.

According to the article:  "This landmark Broadway evening will kick-off with the live presentation of the American Theatre Wing’s 74th Annual Tony Awards® (Sunday, September 26 at 7:00 pm ET/4:00 pm PT), live exclusively on Paramount+."

WTF?? :o The awards are only available from a pay service??  Well, that's just shitty. :P

Let me tell you the exciting thing that happened at our house yesterday!
Title: Re: FACTORING IN THE FACTOR FACTOR
Post by: Laura on May 26, 2021, 09:23:05 PM
The recycling truck came just as my son and his family drove up. The driver tooted the horn and drove ever so slowly (to give my grandson the chance to get out to the curb) and then slowly emptied the bin. Then he tooted the horn again as he drove away.

Well, it was VERY exciting ... if one was two years old, I suppose.

Today's exciting event:

I hugged Wae-Ling for the first time in over a year. And she rode in my car.

I haven't been out of the house today, so perhaps I'll do a Ralph's run or just take a little drive.

Tomorrow, my friend Margo and I are going to see a special showing of A Quiet Place Part II, that afterward will have a special streamed live Q&A with I think John Krazinski, who directed this and the first one. 
Title: Re: FACTORING IN THE FACTOR FACTOR
Post by: George on May 26, 2021, 11:21:03 PM
I'm sure that there will be others at the Q&A, but I didn't know about this until Margo asked if I wanted to go. 
Title: Re: FACTORING IN THE FACTOR FACTOR

I saw the first movie and really liked it, so I definitely wanted to see this.

And the streamed live Q&A will be a bonus. :)

Good grief, George.  I think Paramount coverage starts at $5.95 a month.  Rent it for a week, and then cancel it.

That's true.  I've done that before.  I admit I overreacted.  It's just weird that the actual Tony Awards won't be on broadcast TV this year.

And I won't be able to record them from an online streaming service.  I have recorded most (if not all) Tony Award broadcasts since the early 1990s.
