The Ghost of John McGlinn
A Hammer Film

Thank goodness you made it a Hammer Film.  Imagine the gimmicks you would have to create if it was a William Castle Film!

LOL!

[elmore3003]

That's about what I said, DR Vixmom - five years of freedom!

I guess we both have something to look forward to in 2017. Oy!

feeling better slept most of the day Vixdad's on his way home

You'd think we could find something more fun to share - like root canals!

[Ginny]

DR Vixmom, I think you've had a stress-induced illness from last week.  Glad you're feeling better!

Et Moi, Aussi!

I think it was cold induced.  I tend to get sick when I'm cold.

Well not only was I cold for a week but two of my coworkers had terrible colds and one of them has a terrible habit of licking her finger and then touching stuff -- yes  gross --- I sanitize the heck out of everything but  still....

[Jennifer]

Hope you feel better DR Vixmom!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Jennifer]

I forgot that getting the flu shot can make me feel under the weather.

[Jennifer]

Licking her finger. Yuck!

[Jennifer]

Going to go watch X Factor results show.

[Jennifer]

Most of the shows I watch seem to be shows that have already been on a few months ago in the US. Since we don't get USA network (I love a lot of their shows). We only get them a few months later.

Love White Collar. Royal Pains. Covert Affairs. But we are behind and they are just showing them now. Can't complain too much. Glad they are showing them at least.

Back for but a moment.  We did end up swapping out one shot for episode one.  Then I watched the first cut of episode two - he'd done two versions of the opening scene - one full length and one shorter - I opted immediately for the shorter, then went in and shortened it by another fifteen seconds - it's now a tight two-and-a-half minutes.  The musical numbers are very funny, and all I did was swap out a couple of shots for different angles and added a couple of shots to one, and played the opening of another in the master shot for the first couple of lines, rather than the close-up.  I'll live with this cut for a few days but I'm sure it's what it will be.  And just waiting for confirmation that we are finally, at long last, fully cast.

After I had pneumonia in 2001, I stopped using the community pens at work and wiping the reference desk phones with alcohol swabs - reduced my illness rate significantly!  Our library had a quarterly incentive for unused sick leave and a lot of people would come to work when they should have done what DR Vixmom has done the past couple of days.

I haven't taken a sick day since I had my gall bladder out in April 2009- no payment for unused sick days /vacation days /personal days -- no payment for overtime ...

[vixmom]

but its a job....

[Ginny]

Watching GLEE now and I really want to see ROCK CENTER at 10, but may not be able to stay awake.  I only slept about an hour and a half last night.

[Ginny]

So, I'll sign off now and see how long I last with the TV - 'night!

Then you should use up your sick days at the end of each year

I'm glad you have stayed home the last two days, do so tomorrow if you need to.  The stronger you are when you return to work the faster you will get your strength back.  If you do return tomorrow, don't work those crazy hours, say you are too weak.

'night

[ChasSmith]

I have a few Twilight Time DVD and Blu-ray releases that I'd happily purchased on day one but had set aside to watch at some future point.  Inspired by the wonderful presence of Nick Redman and Julie Kirgo in L.A. (an altogether fine evening with BK in attendance), I vowed to catch up ASAP on those as yet unseen.  Actually, there are a couple of old ones I still need to buy.  Anyhoo, I just watched, for my first time, MY COUSIN RACHEL, an amazing counterpart to REBECCA with a top-notch Waxman score, direction by Henry Koster, a young, brooding, intense Richard Burton, great cinematography, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.  Maybe most of you are way ahead of me and have known this one for years, but it was a great find for me this evening.

[Matthew]

Home from some dinner and such.  Been spending a long time thinking about my orchestration for [/i]Miss Saigon[/i].  The music in this show can't suffer from a reduction which I usually have to do considering the space I'm in and we can't afford to pay a full orchestra anyway.  So, I've been looking at alternatives.  One is the Sinfonia or OrchExtra offered by MTI which is basically a sequencer and the sounds are rather "synthy".  Yes, you are suppose to use this in tandem with some live musicians, but you can also use it alone.  There are 2 options there.  One, by itself and two, with other players.  There is also the recorded music possibility, which at this point, unless I find a purveyor of such item, might not be an option.  The company I've used before doesn't offer this show.  So, that's where my head is

It's rainy and cold outside.     

And very dark. 

[ChasSmith]

DR Matthew, I hardly know the show so I shouldn't speak out of turn (so here I am doing it anyway), but doesn't a reduced orchestration exist?  Or is that also too big for what you can pull together?

The only OrchExtra I'm aware of having heard was a Beauty and the Beast production, in which the MD employed only drums and bass.  He controlled the mini-keyboard with his left hand and conducted with his right.  It certainly sounded synth-y in some passages, but in many others I was impressed.  Not that I necessarily wanted to be.

[Sam]

Not much to say, again.

About to go and house sit for the evening, and then it's Friday, YEA, and the weekend.

To sit inside with the rain.   Wishfull thinking maybe, but maybe not.

[Sam]

Vibes to all.

Good night.
