Cancer Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 They (1) are still taking nominations for invited talks to be given, and (2) haven't even opened registration for it yet, so there's no way of knowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 I got a notice from LiveJournal that today is my 16 year anniversary for the day I signed up. I forgot that I had that. Haven't posted in many years. I also got a notice that my website The Trickster's Quiver has just passed 100,000 views. That's kinda cool.

death tribble Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 My brain just registered something. Watching the video for Bucks Fizz Making Your Mind Up and the guys tops mirror the girl's long skirts which they remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 How do you illustrate the line 'All is chaos' for a stage show ? With a giant spider on the back projection.

death tribble Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 There are somethings you cannot find out such as the identity of the women in Seal's 'Crazy' video. And then all you need is a name and part of a lyric to find a track. Youtube is giving me a lot of French records as I keep playing Mylene Farmer, 'Voyage Voyage' by Desireless, 'Love Will Call the Tune' by Claude Francois and 'Born to be Alive' by Patrick Hernandez. It throws up the original for 'Beyond the Sea' (La Mer) which is a classic X-Files episode so I like. But then it throws up a chap called Gilbert Becaud and my brain starts working. I have heard this voice before and throws up a lyric I have not heard in decades 'You're in that city faraway, I'm on the ship way out at sea'. Type into the internet and I have the music. But why do I remember it ? Because it was a chart hit in 1975 and he was on Top of the Pops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 My new avatar is a doodle by the guy I mentioned in the Cranky Thread. A doodle c 1986. He drew this in about 20 seconds. Yeah, I've always kept it. One of the best artists I ever knew. This is the only piece of his that I own.

Narratio Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Arrived in Paris yesterday on a flight from Rome. Romans are hand gedturez and loud voices all the time, Parisians are dead quiet and back until I opened my Englush mouth... Yep, 2,500 years of fighting gives you great cultural memes.

Cancer Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Nominal bill for a single infusion session of monoclonal antibody for cancer is a bit over $42,000. As far as I now know, these will happen every 3 weeks for an indefinite period. Being double-covered on health insurance looks better all the time. L.
