On Friday morning my arm felt slightly improved overall two weeks after having wrenched it when trying to catch a falling mug.
I memorized the fourth verse of “L'araignée du soir” (The Spider of Night) by Boris Vian. There is one verse left and I may have it done tomorrow.
I worked out the chords for the intro and the first verse of “Une Fille à la mer” (Woman Overboard) by Serge Gainsbourg. I think the rest of the chords will have the same pattern but I’ll find out tomorrow.
I played my Martin acoustic during song practice for the first of four sessions and the B string went out of tune a few times.
I weighed 86.75 kilos before breakfast.
Around midday I used up the rest of the paint in the first can of primer and finished applying the second coat to the door frame. There wasn’t enough to do the bathroom side of the door and so I opened the new can. I should have gotten the guy at the hardware store to shake it, because I spent quite a bit of time stirring it. Some parts of the door will definitely need a third coat. I’ll start applying the final coat to the ceiling and upper walls on Sunday.
I weighed 86.25 kilos before lunch.
In the afternoon I took a bike ride downtown and back.
I weighed 86.25 kilos at 17:56.
I was caught up in my journal at 18:49.
In the Movie Maker project to create a video for the studio recording of my song “Paranoiac Utopia” I continued to edit the video I shot on August 22. I cut out the parts that have a green glare from the sun in the lens when I’m riding eastward from Cowan to Dufferin. After that I’m riding west and there’s no glare westbound but I plan to edit out most of the video that doesn’t show street people. I stopped editing for the night when in the video I was at Noble and Queen.
In my “2024-09-06 Song Practice” Movie Maker project I found the final take of the acoustic version of “Coiffure by Eliza” and deleted everything before. I created a “Coiffure by Eliza” Movie Maker project and deleted all of the songs that follow. I adjusted the studio audio to concert video sound balance, added a fade to black, and converted the video to grey scale. I published the movie and collected a few screen shots. Tomorrow I’ll upload it to YouTube.
I had a potato with gravy and three pork ribs while watching the penultimate episode of the first season of The Brady Bunch.
Mike has been coaching his three sons in baseball to prepare them for little league tryouts. Meanwhile Carol is helping Marcia earn her Girl Scout nature badge while at the same time watching out for Jan and Cindy. Mike and Carol each complain to the other about how difficult their day was and each says the other’s day sounds easy. They are arguing about it the next day when Alice suggests they switch roles. So Carol helps Greg, Peter and Bobby with baseball practice while Mike helps Marcia earn her cooking badge. Both parents secretly read up on their unfamiliar tasks the night before but knowledge is no substitute for experience. Carol finds baseball physically demanding and she does a lot of falling. Mike tries to multitask and winds up dropping several eggs on the floor and then slips on them. He also falls while reaching for a bowl on an upper shelf. He makes a mess that sprays everywhere when he tries to use the electric mixer. That evening both parents are sore and decide not to switch roles anymore.
This episode was directed by George Cahan, who directed the TV pilot for the proposed Three Stooges Show “Jerks of All Trades”. He produced the 1957 documentary TV series The Silent Service. He directed the movies An American in Buenos Ares (aka The Blonde from Buenos Ares; aka Murderers Prefer Blondes) starring Mamie Van Doren and Carnival of Crime. He directed 4 episodes of It’s About Time in 1966. He married former Miss Atlanta and actor Alix Talton in 1950 and they were together until he died of a heart attack in 1991. She died the next year of lung cancer.
