And not only that, the schools in my town are still in session!  So yesterday was WRONG ALL THE TIME Day for me.

Hopefully that will not carry over to today.

I'm up, I'm up - I planned it perfectly to at least get eight hours of sleep and wake up about twenty minutes before she of the Evil Eye arrives and instead she arrives an hour early - so not quite eight hours.

Friday morning greetings!  I've been to our primary care physician for a routine check and I've pre-baked the pizza crusts for tonight's dinner.  After lunch I'm going for a manicure/pedicure.

DR JRand65, Tatiana Troyanos' career began as a nun in the chorus of nuns in the original cast of The Sound of Music. Those butch broads in 1960 had big operatic voices.  Now the dumbass directors cast chirpy little Broadway chorus girl sopranos and altos.

TOD

Plan to watch DEADPOOL

And download the ENCORE cast recording of

PAINT YOUR WAGON

I ordered PAINT YOUR WAGON from Amazon, and I have the message, "Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date."  I ordered BRIGHT STAR at the same time, and it's "Out for delivery.  Arriving today by 8pm."  I should get it before 8:00 because we're closed and we only get UPS/USPS twice a day each.

On TCM right now:  BLACULA.  Talk about cheezy!


Shouldn't you be in bed?

I was.  I was watching it on the TV in my bedroom.

Here's The Mystery of the Signed Books.  Whenever I see third-party sellers on Amazon selling any of my books for three dollars (hardcover) or thereabouts I purchase them as it's much cheaper than ordering a new copy from the publisher - normally they're always in excellent condition.  But of late every single book I buy (mostly the two memoirs) is coming signed by me.  Usually it's my typical "Enjoy!" which means I didn't know them and they either bought it online from me personally or at a signing.  Now, the only places I did signings were NY and LA for this book.  So, I wonder why anyone would pay full price for a book, get that book signed, and then sell it for a dollar, which is what they're getting for it if a dealer is selling it for three.

Amazon just delivered BRIGHT STAR and I am ecstatic!

Since PAINT YOUR WAGON was supposedly released today, I have no idea what the fat hell happened to Amazon's copies, and I'm really pissed about it.

The autograph alone is worth more than a dollar! 

Maybe they come from estate sales.

I thought Tatiana was the STAR of the WSS documentary.  She was a lot of fun.

She was a wonderful actress. Her early opera career was in Germany, where she became a star in the premiere of Penderecki's opera THE DEVILS OF LOUDUN playing the hunchbacked, repressed prioress Jeanne des Anges.

The charming hotel we booked did not have a room for us.  They moved us to an uncharming hotel, into an ugly room, with a very uncomfortable bed.  The rooms here are reminiscent to the communist-era rooms we have stayed in.

That's terrible!  I hope you get a refund!

I totally forgot about Amazon's AutoRip feature until I read about someone on the FB Cast Recordings group mentioning it.  I'm now listening to the Encores! cast recording of PAINT YOUR WAGON. :D

I didn't know there was video of that, DR Elmore.

I have the original LP box set (same performance, apparently), which I probably listened to all of once back in the...1970s?  So I just took it out as a reminder to listen to sometime soon, and here's something funny -- the back cover of the liner notes/libretto book is detached, and the front cover is missing altogether.  This is really odd, because that kind of thing simply can't have happened under my watch.  And I'm just about 100% certain I would have bought the thing new and sealed at Phil Harris or some such store back in the day.  Bizarre.

I want that video, but I ain't payin' those Amazon Marketplace prices for it.

Bruce, you're lucky you had someone at BofA to fight for you. I can't recall a single positive experience with BofA, but can go on and on about the bad ones.

A couple years ago, a friend of mine who is very bright but doesn't always review his bank statements carefully had a similar experience. In his case, there was a charge to a water utility in the Midwest. He lives in California. They'd been billing him incorrectly for several years. I was so appalled that this could happen that I called my bank. According to them it can happen quite easily. It could be the result of an honest mistake or it could be fraud. Your only defense is to CHECK YOUR STATEMENTS REGULARLY.

Well yesterday right here on HHW I learned that I don't know my Teresa from my Tatiana.

I am surprised I can get dressed by myself in the morning!

It must be all the planetary chaos going on. Those retrogrades need to get themselves straightened out!
