Where is this new avatar we've been promised for days, Miss Patti?

I'm working on it....

I wonder if it is pronounced:

Scor-PEE-doz

or

Scorpy-doz

Scor-PEE-doze

I am SOOOOOO P'O'ed at itunes!

I was working with a client today and he was sending me some music to import. To access his itunes, I had to give his password, and then I was supposed to have access.

Backtracking---I have not upgraded to the current itunes version 7 because I don't want to upgrade my OS, even though I already have the software, because I don't want to create a conflict with my editing program until after I'm finished with editing projects in progress (icluding The Brain). That has been fine so far; I just haven't been able to buy any more music from itunes so I've bought from Amazon.

BUT---when I divested or detached or whatever it is called from my client's computer I wanted to log back into my itunes from my own computer. To prove it was me, it wanted me to play one of the songs I had purchased. But when I tried to do this, it would not play it, it would only send me to the page to download itunes 7. It would not play any of the music.

So now I cannot play ANY of the music I have purchased in the past, including lots of music I downloaded to DJ my brother-in-law's wedding.

DAMN YOU Stephen Jobs!!!

Ron, that was a lovely thing to do. I know she appreciated the thoughtfulness of her co-workers.

We could all go together and have a virtual HHW garage sale

Now that's an interesting idea. Can you imagine all the stuff we'd come up with?

I always amazed co-workers by keeping a suite of offices piled floor to ceiling with stuff - and I never failed finding what I was looking foor. The co-worker neatniks who were always complaining about my "messes" were always coming to me for copies of things they had tossed!

The workforce got quite a lesson in Navy "vocabulary" when some ditz decided to "strighten up" my office while I was on a trip.

Rule #1: NEVER straighten up (or strighten up in DERBRUCER-speak).

Jeanne · « **Reply #400 on:** February 05, 2007, 06:57:19 PM »

Rule #2: NEVER NEVER EVER staighten up for someone else, thinking you're doing them a favor. NOOOOOOO!!!

Thanks, JANE. I was wondering if there was a way to rate various perfumes. So much depends on what you're allergic to. I'll check it out.

Love is knowing exactly when to slam the door shut on someone's fingers.

I don't think it was love, but when I was in college, I was accompanying someone for an audition. We had been rehearsing "Corner of the Sky". To thank me, he took me to dinner, along with his friends who were in the car. I was in the backseat between two of them, and when we got there, we all got out. But the guy on the side I was exiting thought I was getting out on the other side so he slammed the car door behind him without looking, right after I put my hand on the car hood to pull myself out. (It was one of those cars that was hard to get out of if you were in the back seat.) He broke several bones in my hand and I didn't have to play a piano jury that quarter, which was so much of a relief that I realized I shouldn't even BE in music school.

When Greg and I listen to the Wonderful Guy CD and heard this song, he asked me if it made my hand hurt. LOL!

I finished the afternoon with the season 1 finale of THE CLOSER. So glad I watched this again.

I think that was my favorite---especially when she told everyone off. Priceless!

These are great - Fletcher takes weeks to destroy one!

Available at AMAZON

LOL-Somehow I knew you would name a toy that passes the Fletcher test.

Sherlock really isn’t rough on his toys, I’m guessing his teeth are very strong, that or they don’t make toys like they used to.

We decided to go to Pet Country, the Grange pet store. We purchased a few new nylabones, a couple of new stuffed squeaky toys, and a Tuffie’s Sea Creature http://www.edogtoy.com/retail/index.php , supposedly the world’s toughest dog toy.

Ron, sweet reaction from the woman in the office, the receiver of the violets, not the obnoxious one.

Andriana-Nice new avatar. I also liked your other one.

Elmore-I pleased you wont need to go to Ohio, for now. Maybe your father can get checked for dehydration before it becomes a problem.

I liked the episode in Season 1 before the closer with Jason O'Mara as the sassy accused killer Billy Croelick. They should bring him back.

My beloved Adrianna has a new face and do! Awwww . . .

And where, may I ask, is the E&T one-acter Mr Cason? He's not responding to emails or phone calls, or rude notes on MySpace.

Oy!

DR Jane, my dad is perking up in hospital. I hope it continues. I have to go to Ohio and tell him these bids for attention are upsetting me.

DR Matthew - Good to see you again! Are you doing the "new" version of Pippin? Or is it something the creative team them came up with? -I actually like the new ending, but I don't seem to recall that many lyric changes. -And which Act 1 Finale are you using? "Morning Glow"?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #419 on:** February 05, 2007, 08:27:17 PM »

Well... I got about 12 boxes of music and books unpacked over the past couple of hours. The big task was rearranging the shelving system/units, and I got that done. Alas, as I was shifting things around, I went from Plan A to Plan B... to Plan C... to Plan D... So... I do have one "flow" issue, but I'm happy with the way things are set now, for now.

My classical piano rep is out of boxes for the first time in years. As is my classical vocal rep. It was a bit strange getting all that music out of the boxes, I actually thought I had more. It's a nice library, but it's more manageable than I remembered. All my show score and vocal selections are on the shelves. And I even took my cookbooks out too! -And one row of music reference books.

Alas, there are still four big boxes of music under the bed, and they may have to stay there. We'll see.
