I have too much housework to do. Oh, well. There's always tomorrow.

What am I, a Disney character all of a sudden?

John G. · « **Reply #93 on:** June 13, 2021, 07:30:39 PM »

Please, don't answer that.

John G. · « **Reply #94 on:** June 13, 2021, 07:30:55 PM »

Hello, 2 guests!

John G. · « **Reply #95 on:** June 13, 2021, 07:31:14 PM »

What Disney character would people say you are?

John G. · « **Reply #96 on:** June 13, 2021, 07:31:39 PM »

I'm sure a few would liken me to Ursula the Sea Witch.

John G. · « **Reply #97 on:** June 13, 2021, 07:31:54 PM »

Or one of the braying donkey boys from Pinocchio.

And who knows what my enemies would say.

Gratuitous post No. 99!

Just learned that Ned Beatty went to the same high school I did. Obviously at different times.

Maybe he didn’t. But mom ran the cash register in the cafeteria for more than 10 years.

John G. · « **Reply #102 on:** June 13, 2021, 08:18:38 PM »

Anyway, that’s it for me today.

John G. · « **Reply #103 on:** June 13, 2021, 08:18:51 PM »

Good night, all.

Gee, some ME day this turned out to be, i.e. not at all.

I ended up doing fixes on the Nothing in Common script - we're now on Reading Script.3 and I hope that's it. I felt strongly that the character of a young girl disappears early in act two and never comes back. She's really lovable and it just didn't feel right to me. So, I talked to the writer and he agreed and he quickly wrote a little scene based on what I thought it should be. Then I rewrote it, he liked it and we put it in. I had to go over the entire script with the fellow who'll be reading the stage directions, so that took forever. As we were going through it, I realized that there was some dialogue in the middle of a song that we musically had no time for, nor did it belong there - so I moved it to before the song and now the set-up of the song is much stronger for that.

I had the Stanley's chopped salad for lunch - excellent.

I've had not time for watching, not one single minute.

I have been listening to music as I've been working: a wonderful two-CD set of Saint-Saens orchestral music, all of it unknown to me - beautifully done, great music, and great sound. And then Richard Strauss's opera Friedenstag, either his final opera or his penultimate. I like it.

Today, I'll probably do some laundry before I usher at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts (last night was at South Puget Sound Community College). Tonight's event is the Johansen Olympia Dance Center. Previous dance companies for which I've ushered have shown filmed dances, but I don't know if this will have in-person performing, or if they'll show films. I'll find out soon enough.

Well, it was all live dancing in the theater.

They only were allowing 120 or so seats to be sold, but I don't know what the final door count was.

George · « **Reply #111 on:** June 13, 2021, 09:01:20 PM »

They had seven groups, and each group actually performed twice in a row.

George · « **Reply #112 on:** June 13, 2021, 09:01:30 PM »

The first time was essentially each group's final dress, and parents/audience could take pictures or film that first time through (no flash, of course).

George · « **Reply #113 on:** June 13, 2021, 09:01:39 PM »

The second time was the final performance.

After that's done, I think I'll listen to Troilus and Cressida by William Walton - I've only heard the Chandos recording, which I didn't love, but this is the original recording with Lawrence Foster conducting - maybe there was an earlier one? I do think Walton conducted one but think it was excerpts. I'll have to research.

George · « **Reply #115 on:** June 13, 2021, 09:02:14 PM »

They had a professional videographer filming, so no other audience filming of each group's second performance.

I did a Gelson's run - just a few things.

George · « **Reply #117 on:** June 13, 2021, 09:02:27 PM »

I didn't notice anyone breaking that rule, so that was good.

George · « **Reply #118 on:** June 13, 2021, 09:02:35 PM »

It was fine evening and it all went quite well without any incidents.

And now...
