Title: DECLAMATORY NOTES IN THE STYLE OF BEETHOVEN
Post by: bk on July 03, 2021, 12:07:33 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes were declamatory, rather like Mr. Beethoven's music, and now it is time for  you to post until the declamatory cows come home.

I slept rather well, but I miss sleeping as long as I would like. On the other hand, the cats give me a reason to get out of bed. Very little else does.

Yes Arthur the Rabbit is the critter that has been eating the Meow Mix left on the front porch.

He came out this morning and eyed me with suspicion, but he didn't run away.  He spent some time sunning himself in the front yard.  Maybe he is thinking about buying the house across the street.

I made my potato salad, and for the heck of it, I included pickle juice in the water. It does give it a stronger pickle flavor, according to a first taste. We'll see what it's like after it cools down in a few hours.

That means only two soup recipes left.

Starting watching One Potato, Two Potato. Barbara Barrie is wonderful. It's the story of a lonely white divorcee (Barrie) who falls in love with a black man (Bernie Hamilton), which, back then means a court fight to determine if she's moral enough to take care of her child. It was Richard Mulligan's first movie. He appeared during the title sequence but hasn't been seen since. I think he's the racist ex-husband, but I could be wrong.

Last night, the DBF (yes, it's official) came over and I grilled dinner - which was great.  Then we watched "The Trouble with Angels" which I had never seen - great film.  Fun and I loved the jabs at Catholic schools and Catholics in general.

Speaking of films - I started watching "Georgy Girl" the other night as DR Elmore mentioned it the other day.  I rented it from Amazon prime, but I didn't finish it, so I may need to rent again.  Truth be told, I started watching it later in the evening so I think I may not have been following along well.  I'll give it another go soon.

So, the soup I made today called for smoked haddock, which I could not find. Smoked haddock is also called finnan haddie, and any mention of finnan haddie makes me think of "My Heart Belongs to Daddy."

If I invite
A boy some night
To dine on my fine finnan haddie
I just adore
His asking for more
But my heart belongs to Daddy.

Because there are few degrees of separation when it comes to Cole Porter.

I have hit the halfway mark in "The Chosen and the Beautiful." I agree with the bisexual part of this retelling of The Great Gatsby. It's told from the viewpoint of Jordan, the lady golfer and intimate friend of Daisy. But I don't particularly get why they're also vampires. Maybe more will be revealed in the second half.

Last night, the DBF (yes, it's official) came over and I grilled dinner - which was great.  Then we watched "The Trouble with Angels" which I had never seen - great film.  Fun and I loved the jabs at Catholic schools and Catholics in general....

Congrats on being official, Matthew! ;D

Congratulations! How happy that must have made all of you

Actually my niece who just turned 12 does not love hugging anyone but her mom and sister. So she wasn't overly excited.

Darn...not great news. :-\

So far today, I have done NOTHING except lie in bed and watch YouTube videos. ::) I haven't done any laundry.  I haven't watched any regular TV.  I haven't watched any shows on my DVR...nothing else.

They installed a few self service registers for less than 10 items so although there were long lines at most of the registers I just walked right up and was out the door

Farrell and Faith are amazing. She's about to sing the very underrated and still mostly unknown Previn song, The Faraway Part of Town - only Garland and less than a handful of others have recorded it, including Mr. Guy Haines.

My local Costco also installed some self-checkouts very recently.  I thought they'd never do that...I'm glad that they did, though.
