Ouch !! Hope you are feeling better

Today I went for a short walk .. first time venturing far since the ankle surgery in March .

Much better, thank you, Sara. Compared to what you have gone through, it was a mere scratch. I hope that you are well on the way to recovery.

Today I washed my hair! Okay, that doesn't sound much, but, last Monday, I tore a two-inch gash in my scalp when I caught my head on an old nail. It was glued together at A&E (ER?). I had to wait until today before I could get it wet. 😕

And here we are. Not even Dr Seuss is acceptable anymore.

Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the organization that owns the rights to the books, films, TV shows, stage productions, exhibitions, digital media, licensed merchandise, and other strategic partnerships, announced on March 2, 2021, that it will stop publishing and licensing six books. The publications include And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street (1937), If I Ran the Zoo (1950), McElligot's Pool (1947), On Beyond Zebra! (1955), Scrambled Eggs Super! (1953) and The Cat's Quizzer (1976). According to the organization, the books "portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong" and are no longer being published due to racist and insensitive imagery.

I remember hearing that. I've only seen it with the Tangerine Dream score so can't really comment. There was a good Jon Anderson solo song in it, too, IIRC.

I was not that impressed with Legend overall. I expected better from Scott after loving Alien and Blade Runner. Had some good bits, including the score, but did not sit well with me for some reason (that likely had the initials T. C. 😉). Basically, if it hadn't been for Tim Curry as the villain, I probably would have forgotten it pretty quickly. He pretty much salvaged the movie for me.

If there was no Tangerine Dream soundtrack, the only saving grace would have been Jon Anderson AND Bryan ferry!

And now I discover that David Gilmour is the guitarist on this track. What an awesome level of talent Ridley Scott used!

I think your account is screwed up. All that stuff disappeared from my profile eons ago but I have had issues a couple times where stuff from that place started showing up. All I have right now is a fairly basic "About" section and no "Status" which is where Set Mood appears over there. Have not seen Set Mood or Match on this site since the early days after the migration. I had actually wondered if it happened because of me going back and forth but you only come on this one.

You know things are bad when Anna's account is getting confused about which site she is on. 😲

I logged on and the site home page appeared. I think my profile actually was confused!

You know things are bad when one can't tell when one is confused! 🤣

I think the eighties-nineties Star Trek shows generally had good music, at least Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. I don't remember anything of Voyager's score beyond the theme, but that theme was a gorgeous piece of music that deserved a better show. It was written by film composer Jerry Goldsmith, who ranks up there with Williams and whose opening title music for Star Trek The Motion Picture was adapted as the theme for Next Generation.

Don't mention Jerry Goldsmith. I love the Ridley Scott film, Legend. For some reason, it was only released in the US with the Tangerine Dream soundtrack. The only version available over here has the Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack which totally kills the atmosphere of the whole film. I am amazed that Ridley Scott prefers the Goldsmith version!

Did you report this? Given your issue and mine, sounds like something cocked up again. I know your issue has been noted and fixed a few times. It's not being copied, it's using the wrong template.

I did, along with the 'Set Mood' button. I am also wondering why there is a 'Match' facility here too. They really need to get their heads out of the gutter site.

One of my all-time favourite TV shows along with its theme tune by Mike Post.

Nice. Have you posted her before? I am pretty sure this is not the first time I've come across her. Just playing some more from her channel.

Yes, I have. A little while ago. Sometimes she reminds me of the beautiful Katie Melua.

You know things are bad when the new sign-in homepage has items copied word for word from another less than savoury site.

Just wondering why there were no Editors Picks or Recommended Reads awarded for the New Year's makeover competition? Don't we do this anymore?
