DR Ron ~ I didn't mean to vex you yesterday and create snarky feelings -- and I would never jab -- or nab, grab, tab, or dab -- you at any time, in any form or fashion --

unless I saw you in person, then like some great-aunt dressed in a flowing flowered mu-mu, wreaking of lavendar and moth balls, with a hairdo best described as resembling a tiny football helmet of dark, overly-dyed pin-curls stuck on my head,  I would grab your little face cheeks in my chubby hands, clanking from the numerous bracelets on my wrists,  and tweak them saying, "Don't be mad at Auntie K cause she loves her little Ronnie-P-Cakes more than anything in the world, oh yes, I do-do-do-sooper-doody-do!"

bk - love the cover.  In what year does your book take place?  I really like your style of writing when you are able to talk about LA in the 50's/60's, the details are fantastic.

DR Edi ~ Your dream and story about your cat was moving -- not that I had a dream about it, but experienced a similar day when our cat Honey was dying and we had made the decision to let him go (my DH thought he was a girl -- and yes he's a doctor! -- when we got him as a kitten) -- I was loving on him before I had to take him to the vet to be put down while DH was at work and Cason was at school.  An emotional day for sure cause he was just the best cat!

And to think MR Kimmel was not that impressed when he found out his Birthday song. LOL. It was one of RCA's first million selling discs.

Count me in as a less than impressed with "Thoroughly Modern Millie" (on CD). I find the same with "Hair Spray".  The original movies were light and fun.

BK ~ Did the package delivery snafu have anything to do with the New York Musical Festival?  Inquiring minds want to know the details -- especially any news involving The Brain!  Did your party accept the package, inspite of the snafu-causing lateness? What was in said package? The scoop please, I'm curious .. like a cat!

Pet lovers will appreciate this:  I have had dreams about my cats.  My last was a couple of weeks before Miss Vickie passed on.  My dearly departed cat Dickens, for whom I adopted Miss Vickie as a companion, came to me in a dream.  He was walking around the condo, scoping things out.  Vickie was asleep in her bed.  I uttered a shout of "Dickens! Is that you?"  Dickens walked over to me and jumped into my lap.  He put his paws on my chest and looked me in the eyes.  I stroked him and he purred.  I could tell he had a message for me.  I sensed, and then asked him, if he were "here" to get Vickie!  He vanished, and I woke up.


Oh, Ron, your dream left me in tears.

I once had a very nice dream about Clint Walker and another one about Tom Wopat.




There is another name for those dreams.

Here are the clips I just sent to my mother.  Hope she can figure out to open them, especially with her dial-up Internet connection  :P

Cabaret

Funny Girl

I watched the Cabaret clip with Martin Ross and Anita Gillette.  I wouldn't have thought that they needed to change some lyrics...instead of "each and every one a virgin," having to substitute "each and everyone, innocent" and instead of "as a matter of fact, she rented by the hour" was changed to "as a matter of fact, she changed her heart each hour."

DR elmore - That really does suck about the lease.  -However, is it possible you could do something like what was in that "Curtain Rods" story that was posted here a little while ago?  ;)

I was thinking this exact same thing!  It could work. ;D

My choreographer and I were joking around and trying to think of words that will work in the songs of Suburb since our director always deletes cuss words (in this case the playwright and lyricist post permission to do that at the front of the book).  Actually, having them in the songs doesn't really fit the storyline (and so far I haven't found any in the dialogue, just the songs), but I guess they thought that makes it contemporary and realistic -- but singing them makes them more jolting and noticeable than saying them and the story is not edgy or jolting, rather nice and cute so ... let's see, what word when singing it can substitute for that more jolting version of friggin' -- ahhh, the challenges of community theatre in a small town
