Four!

Must have been a lazy Monday for everyone.

OK, so Will Smith's singing voice could be better.

John G. · « **Reply #93 on:** June 14, 2021, 08:09:22 PM »

I'll not make it past the opening number tonight.

John G. · « **Reply #94 on:** June 14, 2021, 08:09:29 PM »

I'm fading.

Good night, all.

I think my favorite Shakespeare film is the Branagh version of Much Ado About Nothing

The Trevor Nunn Twelfth Night is a close second

vixmom · « **Reply #99 on:** June 14, 2021, 08:27:58 PM »

Which is maybe tied with Zeffirelli’s Romeo & Juliet fir second place in my affections

vixmom · « **Reply #100 on:** June 14, 2021, 08:29:11 PM »

I like Branagh’s Hamlet, but I also like Mel Gibson’s and David Tenannt’s

Back from a nice dinner at the Coral Cafe (bacon and cheese omelet and cottage cheese) and then a proper tech rehearsal. Got the sound right, the lighting right, and other than the actress who's been struggling with her lines because she simply doesn't spend the time she needs to drilling them totally messing up about twenty percent of her dialogue, it went well. All the comic stuff I've added really helps, too. So, I had my nice but stern talk about drilling lines tomorrow all day for the actress, no matter what, and then they'll do a speed-through at the theater an hour before curtain. I'm not sure I'll work with anyone ever again who cannot do the job of learning their lines in a timely fashion. It's too hard on the other actors. As I've explained, the forgetter is the driver of the play - the other character is in the passenger seat and a reactor. All that said, when she was on it she got all her laughs.

Now listening to more Walton after Troilus and Cressida finished - and boy did I love that and boy do I love Walton. If you don't know his work you're really missing out on one of the finest English composers ever. His scores for the Olivier Shakespeare films are all brilliant, his two symphonies are fantastic, his violin and viola and cello concertos are amazing - I mean, he's the berries.

Cooling down the home environment, which was 81-degrees when I got home. It's down to seventy-six or so, so that's good.

And now, I'm leaving and going to pick up my friend Margo and we're going to the local Jersey Mike's! Our friend David sent me two gift cards for a free regular sub each. They expire tomorrow, and David didn't want to use them by then (he'd already used a couple of others), so he sent them to me for me and Margo to use.

Be back later.

Well, the Jersey Mike's sub sandwiches were pretty good...for the most part. I'd had them before, but Margo hadn't.

However, they got my order wrong! I asked for the Club Sub (turkey, ham and bacon) on Rosemary Parmesan bread, but they didn't put it on the Rosemary Parmesan bread. Since the sandwich was free, I didn't really care.

George · « **Reply #107 on:** June 14, 2021, 10:48:54 PM »

But it wasn't until I had eaten the whole thing that I realized that they didn't put any bacon on the darned thing!

How could I miss that??

George · « **Reply #108 on:** June 14, 2021, 10:49:20 PM »

Anyway, I didn't say anything about that either, but now that I'm thinking about it, I probably could've gotten a whole new sandwich for free (or better, another coupon for a future sandwich).

George · « **Reply #109 on:** June 14, 2021, 10:49:38 PM »

Oh, well. Maybe next time.

George · « **Reply #110 on:** June 14, 2021, 11:34:40 PM »

Gratuitous Post #110!

I just remembered that TODAY is the 23rd anniversary of the day that I bought my car!

George · « **Reply #112 on:** June 14, 2021, 11:53:14 PM »

My previous car was a Subaru Justy and I had it for about four years.

George · « **Reply #113 on:** June 14, 2021, 11:53:36 PM »

I didn't really take care of it, so it died a slow, expensive death.

George · « **Reply #114 on:** June 14, 2021, 11:54:12 PM »

At one point, I had a new engine put in, thinking that that would be cheaper (less expensive) than a whole new, or even used car.

George · « **Reply #115 on:** June 14, 2021, 11:54:37 PM »

But I just had another engine put in, not even a rebuilt engine.

George · « **Reply #116 on:** June 14, 2021, 11:55:05 PM »

I don't know how that decision was made, but made it was.

George · « **Reply #117 on:** June 14, 2021, 11:55:22 PM »

I really liked that car.

George · « **Reply #118 on:** June 14, 2021, 11:55:43 PM »

I bought it used with only 14,000 or so miles on it, and it ran well, until it didn't.

George · « **Reply #119 on:** June 14, 2021, 11:56:26 PM »

My sister and I went looking for cars, and when I test drove my Escort, it only had 20 miles on it.
