I weighed 85.7 kilos before breakfast.
In the late morning until lunch I cleaned the upper tray in my fridge, the two shelves, and the top of the crisper trays. I still have the bottom and the door to wash.
While working I listened to the Tenacious D discography. I'd heard a song or two of theirs on TV but never listened to their body of work. They're actually pretty good and quite funny. The folder that I downloaded also came with a recording of a Bluegrass band called "The Dustbowl Cavaliers" that does Tenacious D's music in Bluegrass style, with banjo, fiddle, etcetera.
I weighed 85.6 kilos before lunch.
In the afternoon I took a bike ride downtown and back.
I weighed 84.8 kilos at 17:00.
I was caught up on my journal at 18:07.
In the Movie Maker project for the July 9 video of my song practice I synchronized the microphone recording with the video. Tomorrow I'll create from that a new project just for my song "Megaphor" and separate it from the main session. Maybe I'll have it uploaded to YouTube tomorrow.
In the Movie Maker project for my song "Instructions for Electroshock Therapy" I cut out some more dark parts of the ocean lightning video. But then I noticed that there is actually a watermark in the upper left corner. It's only visible when the lightning is in that section, so I worked on cutting out the parts where the watermark is obvious. It's still visible in some parts and so I'll work on cutting some more tomorrow. The video is down to about 26.5 seconds now and I only need about 5 seconds.
On second thought I think I might just delete this ocean lightning video. Even if I only use the parts where I can't see the watermark, someone else might have a monitor with higher definition that would make it more visible. Maybe I'll use the lightning video that I used at the beginning of this project.
I had a potato with gravy and two chicken drumsticks while watching four Bugs Bunny cartoons from 1953.
The first story is another one in which Daffy Duck tries to convince Elmer Fudd that it's rabbit season. But when Elmer tells Bugs he is going to make rabbit stew, Bugs tells him he is not a stewing rabbit but rather a fricaseeing rabbit. He asks Elmer if he has a fricasseeing rabbit license and he says no. Daffy intervenes and tells Elmer to shoot Bugs. Elmer says he hasn't got a fricasseeing rabbit license. Daffy starts to write a license for Elmer but asks Bugs how to spell "Fricasseeing". Bugs says, "F-R-I-C-A-S-E-E-I-N-G D-U-C-K." Daffy writes it up and hands it to Elmer, who shrugs and shoots Daffy. Daffy reads the license and says, "Well, I guess I'm the goat!" Bugs holds up a sign saying, "Goat Season" and Elmer shoots Daffy. Daffy calls Bugs a dirty dog. Bugs calls Daffy a dirty skunk. Daffy exclaims, "I'm a dirty skunk?" Bugs holds up a "Skunk Season" sign and Daffy gets shot. Daffy says, "Am I a pigeon!" The same thing happens. Daffy explains to Elmer that it's rabbit season. Bugs has built a snow-rabbit near his hole and Elmer shoots it. Bugs descends from above dressed as an angel. Daffy says, "If he's dead I'm a mongoose!" Bugs holds up a "Mongoose Season" sign. Daffy tells Elmer not to pay attention to any more signs. Then Bugs puts on a duck costume and Daffy tells Elmer to shoot the duck and so he shoots Daffy. Bugs comes out disguised as a game warden. Elmer says he's confused and wants to know what season it really is. Bugs says it's baseball season and tosses a ball. Elmer walks away shooting at the baseball. Bugs asks Daffy what season it really is and he says it's duck season. Suddenly several hunters emerge and begin to fire at Daffy.
In the second story a letter is delivered to B. Bonny but the wind blows it down Bugs Bunny's hole. It's a draft notice and so Bugs reports to the army. After a rough first day of training Bugs puts his head down to sleep only to hear reveille. Bugs goes out and clubs the bugler, which is a record player. Bugs's sergeant loses a stripe because of him. The corporal tells Bugs to clean and dress all the chickens for the officer's dinner and so Bugs puts them all in tuxedoes. Bugs uses a mortar shell to hammer a nail above his bed and it fires, hitting the colonel's helmet. The corporal loses another stripe. The private suddenly realizes Bugs is a rabbit. The general discharges Bugs but Bugs asks if there is any service he can do. Bugs is put on an assembly line testing mortar shells with a hammer to see if they are duds.
In the third story Bugs sees Yosemite Sam read in the news that a local widow has inherited $50 million. Sam decides to court the old lady to get her money and Bugs decides to stop him. When Sam shows up at Emmy's door she is burning money in the fireplace because the room is chilly. Sam puts on the charm and begins to chase her. She giggles and says nothing like this has happened to her since the boys got back from Gettysburg. Then Bugs shows up to court her, disguised as a French gentleman. He chases her and she giggles, "Twenty years, nothing, and then it all piles up in one day!" Sam challenges Bugs to a duel. They stand back-to-back and then Sam steps ten paces forward until he is run over by a bus. Bugs is standing with a bus schedule in his hand. Sam knocks on Emma's door again and this time Emma is Bugs in disguise. Sam chases her upstairs and she pushes a piano down the stairs to flatten him. Sam is staggering and Emma thinks he's drunk so she goes to fix him black coffee. Bugs comes as Emma with the coffee and asks how many lumps. He says two and Bugs hits him with a hammer. The real Emma comes with Sam's coffee and he kicks it out of her hand. She runs to her room and bars the door and she waits with a loaded gun, firing at him when he gets too close. Then Bugs as Emma comes again and says, "Let's elope." At the wedding Bugs's trail gets caught on a nail and Sam realizes Emma is a rabbit and leaves.
Granny first appeared as Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother in the 1937 cartoon "Little Red Walking Hood." She became solidified in the role of Tweety Bird's caregiver in the 1950 cartoon "Canary Row." She was first voiced by Bea Benaderet from 1950-1955 and then June Foray did her voice for the next sixty years. The character is still being used in Warner Brothers cartoons to this day.
In the last story, Elmer Fudd has a carrot farm and is singing the 1934 song, "In A Little Red Barn" by Joe Young, Jean Schwartz, and Milton Ager. Bugs is singing too until Elmer realizes Bugs is stealing his carrots. Elmer tries but fails to shoot Bugs and so he calls a pest control company and they send him a robot rabbit killer. He feeds a picture of Bugs into the robot's electronic brain but the robot mistakes a long-eared donkey for a rabbit and shoots it. Elmer demonstrates what a rabbit looks like and also gets shot. Finally the robot goes after Bugs and hits him with a boxing glove. Bugs jumps in his hole but the robot scoops up the dirt and sifts it to find Bugs. Bugs runs round and round under a sprinkler with the robot chasing him until it is paralyzed with rust. Elmer oils the robot and sends it after Bugs again, but Bugs disguises himself as a female robot. The robot goes wild for her and gives her a box of nuts. The robot picks Bugs up and then Bugs opens the robot's maintenance door to throw a spanner into his motor and he partially falls apart. The robot pursues Bugs on to a construction site and gets flattened by big stamping machine.
For the third night in a row I found no bedbugs.
