Christmas Cakewalk
Posted on December 12, 2008 in Borland Delphi
I lean over the counter, in slight hand writing the word "Visitor" in the top left hand corner of sticker after sticker. In the right hand corner, I write the date "12/25/2006". It's Christmas Day. From my scribbling imagination forms an elf carrying a gift, giving the thumbs up. He's got curly hair and pointy ears and doesn't mind hanging out with me all day on this quiet, hollow holiday in the big drafty waiting room of the ER. Today is the first day that I've noticed that my shiny new computer doesn't have a CD drive. I've spent the first hour of my morning very productively navigating the media player's online radio site for some good Big Band stations, preferably a Big Band Christmas station... still searching....in the meantime, on the jukebox in my head, The Ravens' "White Christmas" winds around and around as the rain outside falls down. I think I may be going into a diabetic coma. The nurses keep coming up to my desk and force feeding me Christmas chocolate. Damn them and their chocolate mousse bonbons. So, I want to share this with you. I've made a few copies of this out-of-print gem to give to friends this holiday season. 1. White Christmas - Ravens 2. Far Away Christmas Blues -Little Esther Phillips 3. Love For Christmas -Felix Gross 4. Trim Your Tree -Jimmy Butler 5. Wonderful Christmas Night -Dan Grisson 6. Rudoph The Rednose Reindeer -A.B. Green 7. Silent Night -Big Maybelle 8. White Christmas -Charlie Parker 9. Mr. Santa's Boogie -The Marshall Brothers 10. Christmas Blues -Gatemouth Moore 11. Christmas Blues -Washboard Pete 12. Frosty The Snowman -A.B. Green 13. I Want To Spend Christmas With Elvis -Debbie Dabney 14. Santa's Secret -Johnny Guarnieri Released in 1994 on Savoy Jazz (...where bebop began and the artists still swing...), this little compilation is especially notable for the terribly addictive rendition of White Christmas by the Ravens, Jimmy Butler's gyrating Christmas Shag-a-thon "Trim Your Tree", Big Maybelle's beautifully soulful "Silent Night", and Johnny Guarnieri's hilarious side smile "Santa's Secret". By the by, the Ralphie count this morning was very, very low. Surprising. Last year it was so high that I warned all of my friends with small children to buy protective gear (i.e. - helmets, elbow pads, knee pads, full body armour) to avoid forevermore the peril of Christmas morning excitement/present-opening maiming/accidents. Have a safe holiday, my friends, and take care. I'll be at the Bottletree tonight for a little after-work/family dinner drink. I'd love to see your lovely faces. cheap microsoft office cheap corel draw
All Weather Woobee: A Baby Blanket Built for the Outdoors
Posted on December 11, 2008 in Borland Delphi
Spring and summer are a time when the weather can quickly change and a good blanket is a must-have for the mom on the go. The All Weather Woobee is the perfect blanket for the mom who refuses to let the weather stop her and baby from going outside. The blankets. Combining the soft, plush blankets that are so popular today with water resistant fabric that makes the woobee perfect for outside. Created by Heather Correa, an outdoor enthusiast who wanted to combine her two great loves -- the outdoors and her daughter. The blankets are the perfect combination of outdoor function and modern style. Definitely "the" blanket to have for the outdoor mom for those summer walks and hikes to come!! Each Woobee blanket and bib features a soft velvet, animal, or plush material on one side and a wind and water reistant backing on the other. The Woobee design allows you to protect your little one from wind and water. I adore the selection of bright colored fabric selections! Definitely not the traditional pinks, blues, yellows, and greens. The combination of bright fabrics and plush texture make this blanket really stand out from the crowd. Featured at this year's Pre-Golden Globes Boom Boom Room and Big Kid Style Villa. Recipients included Alison Sweeney, Angela Bassett, Tia Carrere, Jean Louis Kelly, Ming Na, Laura Leighton, and Diane Farr. The stylist for Marcia Cross requested a care package for the actress who was on bedrest at the time of the event. cheap corel draw cheap microsoft office

Platform
Posted on December 06, 2008 in Canvas Standard
I am not in a very placid frame of mind. I've just come back from the 2nd Platform. Wherein we heard who had been singled out from the 1st Platform to be in the collaborating team with KLPac next year. Guess who wasn't singled out. I concede, I'm not the greatest actress on earth. I admit that I'm far from it. But 'The Apple Show'???? I could do that too, you know, get a dictionary and look up words of four syllables and above and then somehow mash them into my play pell-mell. I thought KLPac was trying to shed its elitist ways and go more naturalistic-realistic, as we're doing with "Uncut Untitled Paper House". Apparently not. Apparently I've to go and do something like "What is the hidden meaning? There is frequently a hidden meaning. No, there is sometimes a hidden meaning." And not make it amusing like how Huzir Sulaiman does. But the funny thing was, "Pity the Black Who Pities the Green" was amusing. In a bad way. As in, when the dude cut himself, there was a lot of gasping and speculating and later, laughter. As Zedeck Siew said, it was "unintentionally funny". I know it takes the highest order of arrogance to question their decision, but I just want to know "What the FUCK, man?" Are they better actors than I am? I think not. Onto the creative process, what did I do wrong? It's a simple monologue. There's no wayang kulit, no pretense, no pretentiousness, it's forthright. I thought that would count. But noooooo. The guys during the Q&A were so obviously tongue-tied. They came across as not knowing what they had done and why they had done it. No clear answers. He did use big words, however. But as I said, pell-mell. Didn't answer the questions posed. He prevaricated to the highest degree. And THAT appealed to Joe and Gavin??? I wouldn't mind if someone really good had been chosen. Like a couple of tonight's performers. Brought to mind George Bull and his Forensics Duet Acting. So cute! Well, I guess I should look into an overuse of props next time round. Complete with fake blood and all. I guess I'm just bitter because they evidently had something I lacked. Thanks to this month's audience members who were trying their best to console me, people I hardly know. You guys are so sweet. Unlike certain old men who shall remain nameless. "Keep writing, though." I was even practising my surprised look for when Gavin would announce my name... Of course I've been doing that since I was a little girl and they would announce my name for the "Best Female Actor" Oscar... :) Now I just feel like giving up. I guess I was worse than them. And believe me, that's pretty bad. What's that line from H. Sulaiman's "The Smell of Language"? "I guess the smell of your language is that of the rankest shit." or something like that. Mine is, I guess.

Do you listen to music when you listen to Coil?
Posted on November 22, 2008 in Cakewalk Music
Constant Shallowness Leads to Evil is the most extreme outing by Coil I have had the pleasure of listening to. This is really extreme stuff and is the closest to say, Merzbow, that they ever got. I rate this and Merzbow's "Oersted" as the most challenging discs I own, which does not make them bad at all. With releases as these the way you listen to music is not a required one. You need to change the setting, change the scenario. This is not easy listening nor is it enjoyable setting; you need to concentrate hard in order to penetrate this stuff. You simply need to focus.
