And the word of the day is: PROPINQUITY!

Well, I accept NO responsibility for BK ordering and subsequently eating a chicken enchilada burrito, which I've never had, so it's all on him!

I always wait until I wake up to reset any clocks...mostly because I have a couple of devices that supposedly change on their own, and might (in which case I don't want to change before I go to sleep), or they might not, so I wait to see if they did change automatically or not.

Is that when you take someone else's prop on stage?

Oops, I shouldn't joke about that in front of a stage manager!

I guess that would be propiniquity though, so never mind.

From their perspective, they're getting fed an hour earlier, which isn't so bad.

Of course, just as I was about to go to bed, we had the ubiquitous every two week (although this was a bit over two weeks) computer crash. So, had to do all that malarkey again. Of course, it's really 3:15 and yet it's 4:15. I think I'll sing I Didn't Know What Time it Is.

singdaw · « **Reply #20 on:** March 10, 2024, 04:21:37 AM »

We'll stay all night and we'll sing 'em all!

Apparently the Oscars start earlier this year, at 7:00PM EDT.

I hate this Daylight Savings Time nonsense! I've loathed it every year it happens, The clock may say 6:20 but the mind still insists it's 5:20, andf no matter how much prep I try to do the day before, it still means that for the next few weeks my body will resist this needless time change.

This morning I have laundry, and this afternoon a phone call with conductor Marzio Conti. At some point I need to write a harp part.

Why, oh why, did I have to visit the necessary so early this morning, when it was already a short night of sleep? Why?

I decided to just suffer with the need for more sleep and get the HELL up.

This 7-part Vanity Fair on Amazon Prime isn't bad. Episode 3 kicked the series into gear with Amelia and George, Dobbins, and Becky and Rawdon following the troops to Brussels to fight Napoleon. They are befriended by Mrs O'Dowd, Amelia becomes jealous of Becky's flirtation with George, and they attend the famous Duchess of Richmond's Ball where George asks Becky to elope with him just before Napoleon's advance is announced and the ball ends with the troops heading to Waterloo. Chaos ensues in the panic of the British wives and nobility to evacuate in case Napoleon wins the battle.

The novel makes much more of the famous ball, and I wish the series had as well; it was essentially reduced to Lady Bareacres being a complete snob to her inferiors, particularly the novel's main characters, George treating his wife Amelia poorly to flirt with Becky, and George giving Becky the letter asaking her to elope just before the ball ends with the orders for the trroops to prepare to march.

As soom as I finish Kritzer World, I'm reading the novel again.
