Well, you've read the notes, the notes weren't quite notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows that aren't quite cows come home.

Growing up, I don't remember when I realized what a cartoon short in the movies was, ir that it was different than just a cartoon.  I think the first ones that I experienced were when Pixar showed them before their movies (especially before they were bought by Disney).

Annabelle's nose is clogged again this morning so she won't eat. I'm quite frustrated because I hate torturing her, and I have no money at the moment for a vet.  Thanks to that damned email issue last week that wiped out my last bit of funds, I'm out of money until Social Security lands eight days from now.

Speaking of that email issue, my friend who further complicated the situation and told me he'd get back to me the next day, has never contacted me since.  I guess he's now a "friend," and not a friend.

I'm waiting to hear from London about my Trolley Song orchestration.  I emailed the pdf of the score yesterday afternoon.

Today I'm back to the choral piece. Medleys are a bear when all three songs are in the same key of G, so your possible keys are only in the F, F-sharp, G, A-flat, A, B-flat range.  It would be great to have had at least one song in C or D.

Or perhaps he had/has a personal issue.  Why not reach out to him to see how he is

Had one short dream involving some discovery I'd made about the boom-chick piano part in "One".

And since that post won't set the world on fire, I can say that I've got a mountain of things to attend to today and I must get started soon.

A big lotto win would come in handy right about now.

Other than that, I have no news. Back later!

I have nothing to report. Which is always a good thing at 6:49 a.m.

Good morning there is nothing to report here either.  Tomorrow will be an Aldi's Day.

Eight pages last night.

I enjoy some of Quentin Tarantino films, but when he completely changed history and messed up ON PURPOSE things that happened during WWII, it was very hard on me.

Because the fan boys will say it happened THAT way - since history is not taught in schools the way it used to be....

As the director said in LYLAH CLARE: "We say she died this way in the movie, and everyone will think that is what happened...."

A lot of people still think Jean Harlow died of pneumonia.....

TOD:

The one we saw the most POPEYE - I liked the later Paramount ones, some were mini musicals - but the Max Fleischer ones were a chore...

Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny were favorites.

Hated Little Lulu and Baby Hughy.....

T.O.D.

Just about anything from Warner Bros.: Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, The Road Runner, Tweety & Sylvester, etc.

Nobody did it better.

I'm of the Saturday morning generation with three networks. If memory serves CBS had the best cartoons, but I also liked the live action ones like HR Puffenstuff, The Bugaloos and The Banana Splits which had mini-series within the program itself.

I used to have a pair of cartoon shorts.  They were the ones with the draw string.
