I have watched The Bat. Oy.

I finished a chapter in my Zola novel at the same time.

The Zola was better.

I think the only thing I liked in The Bat was the snazzy, jazzy music during the titles.

Thank you, DR Jeanne, for the travel vibes.

John G. · « **Reply #96 on:** October 28, 2021, 09:02:20 PM »

I need to pack in the morning. It shouldn’t take long.

John G. · « **Reply #97 on:** October 28, 2021, 09:03:10 PM »

The temperature when I get home will be in the 50s. I don’t have a long-sleeved shirt.

John G. · « **Reply #98 on:** October 28, 2021, 09:03:34 PM »

I do have a ride, though.

John G. · « **Reply #99 on:** October 28, 2021, 09:03:52 PM »

Gratuitous post No. 99!

Good Evening - finally a chance to catch up. Today was technically the last day for teaching this week as tomorrow is a minimum day with Halloween festivities.

I've been teaching an after school guitar class at school and we had our 3rd class today and I'm excited by how things are going.

This summer, I've been invited to attend a wedding in Malta, in which I'm suppose to play at the ceremony. I've also been invited to spend a week in Paris with some friends to celebrate a 50th birthday. The wedding is on June 15 and the Paris dates being on July 10 (I think). So, I've begun to think about how to fill that time. I have pals in Germany and Amsterdam and I'd like to see a show in London, so the planning has begun. Let's hope the shows keep coming in this spring!

I haven't watched The Bat but I did bat my eyes.

Back from a good and thankfully short rehearsal. Good actors make things so much easier.

Topic vof the Day: I do remember my sister and I enjoying "those Smokey and the Bandit type hick comedies that were so popular with the populace back in the 1970s." I couldn't give you any specific titles since I haven't seen any since the 1970s...but we liked them when we watched them.

Yeah, but how old were you in the ‘70s, five?

DR TCB, so how you and DR Jeanne like THE BAT?

I guess I would have to say that I liked it better than Jeanne did.

DR TCB I love THE BIG LEAP.

It's very different than I thought it would be. A group of folks in Detroit have been chosen to be on a dance show.....their interactions and the actions of the production crew and the network nabobs makes for some fast-moving and very funny situations.

Of course there is also HEART.....there are quite a few gay characters and two of the boy dancers just started a relationship on last Monday's episode....

The dancing is incidental - but ALL of them can dance and that's fun to watch. They been together a few weeks, but the premiere of the show they are making was just in last week's episode, so they are all dealing with social media and who is popular and who is not....

Very different - but fun. I recommend you give it a try.

Is it streaming anywhere, so I can catch up on what I have missed?

I'm up, I'm up - hard to know how much sleep. Maybe eight hours overall, maybe a bit more. In bed by 1:30 and fell asleep pretty quickly, but up at around four-thirty - even though I took a twenty-four hour allergy pill, allergies have been hovering. Fell asleep again around six, up at nine-thirty, back in bed by ten and slept until one. Not smooth sleep but it's what it was, I suppose.

I know it isn’t Wednesday, but BK, when Bill does one of your shows, does Susan come to the show?

I don't know if I have ever seen THE BAT, depends if Keith had me watch years ago. It isn't something I would have watched on my own.

Say what you will about colorization, but they certainly cleaned up the film when they colorized it.

Like DR JOHN G I guess my favorite of the TOD genre is ANY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE.....

I didn't watch any of the others - avoided them in fact.....

I liked THE BAT, but I really hated the actress who played the secretary....she was so bad.....and I also am irritated by the voice of Miss Agnes Moorehead and do my best to avoid her at all costs. Her lines readings are just bizarre and her inflections are a shame to the jaybirds.

If I remember correctly, in the play version that I directed, the part was written as a very stereo-typical African-American maid. Like a female Stepin Fetchit.

TCB · « **Reply #111 on:** October 28, 2021, 11:47:16 PM »

We aren’t going to make it, George.

George · « **Reply #112 on:** October 28, 2021, 11:54:36 PM »

Oh, no!

TCB · « **Reply #113 on:** October 28, 2021, 11:55:14 PM »

It’s twoo!

George · « **Reply #114 on:** October 28, 2021, 11:57:09 PM »

So, I received my new phone case, but I just realized that it's actually the original order!

TCB · « **Reply #115 on:** October 28, 2021, 11:57:16 PM »

Tracy and I thought we would catch CLUE- THE PLAY at Tacoma Little Theatre. Well, surprise surprise!

George · « **Reply #116 on:** October 28, 2021, 11:57:41 PM »

I thought that when I got the refund for my original order, that it was lost in the mail.

George · « **Reply #117 on:** October 28, 2021, 11:58:12 PM »

So, I reordered it, and thought that the one I just received was the reorder.

TCB · « **Reply #118 on:** October 28, 2021, 11:58:18 PM »

This Friday and Saturday are completely sold out.

George · « **Reply #119 on:** October 28, 2021, 11:58:41 PM »

I looked at my Amazon order history and the new order is still in transit, and the original order is what arrived!
