Well, you've read the notes, the notes were resurrected, and now it is time for you to post until the resurrected cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: FELICITY!
-
First post after MR BK.
It's been a long time since THAT happened!
-
I am so excited about the notes that I am speechless.
Circle today in red on the calendar.

It would be nice in addition to have a NEW Guy Haines Album....Guy On Broadway TODAY & YESTERDAY.....
I'll copyright the title just in case - call me for permission.

That's very exciting news, BK! Hopefully, it all comes together much more easily now that there are other possibilities!
-
Last night's posts suggested that exciting news was coming in the notes, and the notes sure delivered on that!
Such excellent news, BK!
-
Good morning, all!
-
Well, I'm alive, which is not what I thought at Thursday evening arounf 11:00pm
-
I had been achey and feeling puny for several days. I couldn't lie comfortably to sleep, so by Thursdday I was a bit of a mess, but I was determined to have the colonoscopy since I had postponed it several times. I also knew if I postponed again, Joshie - who worriesw about my health more that I do - would kill me.
-
I'm usually ready for bed by 8:30 or 9:00, so it was strange to be taking the first round of colonoscopy prep at 9:15. By that time, the leg cramps were so bad I could barely walk, and trying to maneuver a huge jug of the prep, a glass, a teacart, a cane, while trying to stay close to the bathroom was difficult. On top of that, because I move so slowly, I didn't want to be far from the bathroom. It was all a mess, and I did spill a bit of the prep - GraviLyte - onto the teacart as I tried to fill a glass.
-
Around 11:15 I was still in the bathroom, very drowsy and feeling like garbage. I was feverish, I was barely moving, and I thought, I will not be able wth that walker to get from the HMO entrance to the GI offices which are literally a block away. The building runs from Third Avenue entrance to Second Avenue, which is where the GI offices are. So,lled Joshie and left a message that I was cancelling the procedure, called the GI office and left a message that I couldn't make it, and went to bed. I took two AdvilPM tablets and didn't get to sleep. Around 7:00 I got up, fed the cats, and went back to bed. Around 10, I got up and cleaned the litter box and gave them fresh water. I called Jen and asked her if she had any Covid tests, and she said she would be down later.
-
I lay with the cats and television,l which probvided background noise in a semi-comatose state until Jen arrived aroud 1:00. The Covid text was negative, although I was sure I had it. I fed the cats, had a bowl of cereal around 3:00, and went back to bed. I lay on a heating pad - as I had done every day for the past week - trying to get the back and right arm to relax. I was watching MSNBC when I realized around 6:30 that I had finally fallen asleep for about 45 minutes. I took off my clothes, took another AdvilPM, and went tro bed. For the first time in maybe two weeks trhe back muscles and arm were relaxed enough that I passed out. Around 11, I woke, took a Tizanidine and slept until the alarm rang at 5:45, I trned off the alarm ad slept until 7:00. I feel pretty good now.
-
What an ordeal, DR elmore3003.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
You may be right about Evita, DR George.
-
It's not like there aren't already many full-length recordings.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I was out this morning buying plants.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Wonderful news from BK. May it all come to fruition, and soon.
-
Whew, DR Elmore, what an ordeal. Great to hear you are feeling better, and apparently do not have Covid. Hopefully you can make Josh a happy man by getting your "procedure" done soon. :)
-
Notes plunged. Ensconced.
-
Sorry dear Elmore. Hope you can still get the colonoscopy soon.
-
~~~PRO TOOLS VIBES~~~ for BK and the engineers!!!
-
Someone must keep an old computer with a functioning version of pro tools for such times as this. Now to find that person..
-
I liked Gibson’s Payback. Good character work from Gregg Henry, Kris Kristofferson, and Bill DeVane.
-
Sorry to hear about the death of Mark Volman, part of the vocal duo that led the Turtles.
-

There absolutely has to be someone. Maybe even a number of someones in a place like L.A.
I believe companies like Apple (ESPECIALLY Apple) should maintain a small legacy software/hardware "rescue" service. And especially for PRO software. There must be others with this type of need now and then. I know we're talking twenty years, but Apple is the most aggressive force in the known universe when it comes to making everything obsolete as early and as often as they can. Their philosophy doesn't encompass "looking back", even out of necessity.

Agreed DR RODZINSKI.....it is a loss.

DR ELMORE hang in there.

George, thanks for the Wordle "That's great!" last night.

Bruce, I hope everything in the exciting news works out as it should.

Agreed! Glad you're feeling better, Larry!
-

I hope not. I don't care for highlights recordings. They're just just so incomplete and unfulfilling. :P
-
I wonder if it's a British thing. The new London production of Hadestown is also only getting a highlights recording.
-
And, of course, the original London cast recording of Evita with Elaine Paige was a highlights recording.

Because...why not?

;D

Plants are planted.

I’m a puddle of sweat. It’s that bad.

Hoping to get some rain today.
-
I'm up, I'm up - have been up since nine-thirty, I think.

Maybe six hours of sleep, I think.

I think, therefore I am.

This, by the way, is Real Saturday. Not one of my many Faux Saturdays. It's the real thing. Like a good frigid Coca-Cola in a glass bottle.

Last night, Ski Party. Hadn't seen this one in forever, and I enjoyed it. Interesting new cast balance, and Les Baxter was in absentia.
Next up, How to Stuff a Wild Bikini.

Hamilton looks like it will be second at the box office this weekend, according to Variety.

I wonder if this speaks well for the possibility ofan actual movie musical of Hamilton being made.

I tried to log on earlier and the site was down.

Mike Johnson is now telling the press that Tramp was working as an Espstein informant for the FBI. Tramp saus it's a Democrat hoax, and I say only the victims are telling the truth.

I'm back from a short trip to DC where I was doing some research in the Performing Arts Reading Room at the Library of Congress.
-
And visiting my eldest niece, who works in OMB.
-
What time were we down and how long?
-
While at the Library of Congress, I had a meeting with a couple of archivists, and bk's exact problem came up in the discussion - media projects saved in an older version that newer versions can't open.
-
Had my first helping of tuna pasta salad and took pill one as well as Prednisone and Folic Acid pills.
-
As DRs Rodzinski and ChasSmith said, there's got to be someone (probably many someones) in LA with the older version for just this type of situation. So I'm optimistic this will all work out and we will see and hear the resurrection.
-
On the flights I caught up with several good recent movies I missed - September 5, My Old Ass, and The Two Popes.
-
The forum is glitching for me now - an error message on my last post (even though it worked fine), and long delays when clicking on things to get to a new page.
-
What time were we down and how long?
Maybe wp minutes around 2 pm Central
-
I want to see The Two Popes.
-
Page turn!
-
Four!
-
Made a big bowl of bitter melon salad.
-
Not to everyone’s tastes, but that just means more for me.
-
It’s threatening to rain. I wish it would. It’s affecting my sinuses.
-
Plus the new plants would like it.
-
I want to see The Two Popes.
Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce do a wonderful job!

It is raining. Yay!

We're watching season 6 of CB STRIKE, based on the Rowling/Galbraith novel THE INK BLACK HEART.
-
For some reason, this first episode of season 6 feels remote, almost cerebral, in a way that the previous five seasons didn't.
-
It occurs to me that if this (season 6) were my first exposure to CB STRIKE, I might not go on watching. But given that I've found the characters fascinating in past seasons, I'll keep watching.
-
For example, I'm sitting here typing at the computer while watching episode 1 and not feeling I'm missing anything
-
Season 1 had three episodes, seasons 2 and 3 only had two episodes each, then seasons 4, 5, and 6 have four episodes each.
The lopsided nature has felt like a good thing. I wonder if the story in season 6 might have been better served (for my taste) with fewer episodes.
-
Maybe it's that we're seeing less of Mr. CB Strike himself than we usually do.
-

DR MichaelG, how was DC?
-
DR Jane, the weather was perfect. I didn’t see many military aside from subway stations. There were often a couple at Metro Center near my hotel, then 8 of them running out of the station near my niece’s place. The research went well.

Thanks for sharing your D.C. experience, Michael G.

Thanks. I have a better idea what it is like now. I'm glad your research went well.

I now know what the Wordle word is :)

Keith got Wordle in four.

I was in a very limited part of DC. I wasn't at any of the tourist sites. My hotel wasn't convenient to restaurants in Dupont Circle or Adams Morgan so I didn't get there this time. I wouldn't know how it is elsewhere, and where they deploy apparently seems kind of random.
-
Thanks MichaelG. It has been interesting reading about your trip.
-
DR John, are you still working on The Hallmarked Man? My brother said it is too long for a mystery and he will not be reading it ;D
-
No news yet on Pro Tools. I know he had some gig today.
-
Had a nice ninety-minute nap in bed.

About to have helping two of tuna pasta salad with pill two.

I finished it this morning. All of her mysteries are 1,000 pages long.

I hated Burlesque when I first saw it, then I started hearing Cher sing Welcome to Burlesque in tango practice, so I decided to watch it again. It’s a poorly made movie, but the performers are actually pretty good. The director is clueless, the script doesn’t reach the heights of a Busby Berkeley movie. But parts are fun. Cheap, cliched fun.
-

Done with food for the evening. One more pill to take later, so I'll have a fruit bar before taking it.

Gelson's having a big sale on Bonne Maman preserves - so I'm buying a few different flavors to have on hand. five bucks off each.

Nice. Let us know your favorites.

I will have to finish the perversely PG-13 rated Burlesque tomorrow.
-
Good night, all.

I'm trying to watch something called Inherent Vice - it's Paul Thomas Anderson, who has his own cult for whom he can do no wrong. For me, he's done mostly wrong and this is no exception so far, plus, for me, Joaquin Phoenix is the most obnoxious movie presence since Timothy Carey.
-
Turns out I did see it when it came out via a DGA screener - back in 2014, I think. Here's what I wrote:
Last night, I watched Inherent Vice, a motion picture directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, based on a novel by Thomas Pynchon. I know I’m supposed to think Mr. Pynchon is a brilliant writer but, alas, I don’t. The film is quirky, weird, occasionally amusing, boring, irritating and ultimately a big load of, well, for me, nothing. It takes place in 1970 and involves a private investigator who is also stoned at every opportunity with the Mary Jane cigarettes. Now, I loathe any kind of drugs so obviously I was never going to like this film because they smoke, oh, hundreds of marijuana cigarettes during the very long 148 minute running time. I had no interest in that stuff in 1970 and even less now. I suppose that’s nostalgic for a lot of people who did that sort of thing. There is some kind of silly mystery in the story, but it’s really meaningless – the film is like a jazz riff that just goes on and on and on and on in a haze of California smog and dope. By the 100-minute mark I just wanted it to be over. I can’t really stand the film’s leading man and he’s as irritating to me here as he was in this same director’s last film, The Master. For me, the whole thing was like substandard Terry Southern by way of The Big Lebowsky, another movie I don’t like. The character names are of the cutesy kind that are supposed to be rollicking to someone, but for me it just precludes me from taking any of the story seriously – maybe they don’t want me to, but then why do I need to sit there for two-and-a-half hours? To give you an example – one character lives on a street called Gummo Marx Way. I mean, really.
-
So, not going to continue watching it.
-
Obviously.
-
Why are we on page five?
-
Not very sporting.
-
A page we should be aborting.
-
Not courting.
-
A page for sorting.
-
Whew.
-
Page six?
-
Really?
-
Ridic.
-
And sick.
-
Thick.

Doesn't click.

Notes are being written.

I happen to know this since I happen to be writing them.
-
Wow! There was just a very LOUD thunderclap! :o
-
Was one of the people you met with Mark Eden Horowitz?
No, probably no one you'd know. The LoC archivist is a research partner of a University of Maryland faculty member who's also the wife of Cabrillo Festival's principal bassoon. At the "Meet the Composers" event she asked a question which I knew had to be from a musicologist. So we met after the panel and I let her know I'd be in DC the following month.

New notes are up.
