I deleted the picture from Page 3 (The Winner), resized it and moved it here along with the text. It wouldn't let me just change the picture. Oh, well.

On Monday night we played a musical theatre related game. Karen was born in 1957 so her sister's boyfriend put together a game involving 50 years of Tony winners. He put together a list of each Tony winning Best Musical from 1957-2006. He had a 30 second song clip from each show. We had to identify the show, the song and the year it won the Tony for Best Musical. Each question, depending on how much you answered was worth 1-3 points. No bonus points if you knew the singer (darn). Well, guess who won! I was surprised at the number of "special interest" men who did NOT know their musical theatre. Many Gay cards were revoked that night. Obviously, I won (or I wouldn't be writing this long post). We began with My Fair Lady, I Could Have Danced All Night, 1957 and Ended with Jersey Boys, My Eyes Adored You, 2006.

Here is a picture of me receiving the prize, a pack of Florida playing cards.

What a delightfully fun-sounding game! I'm envious you have a pack of friends who would do something like this.

I only have a few friends in town who even know what a Tony Award is.

IIRC, DR MBarnum arrives in NYC the morning of Thursday, July 28, and DH Richard and I arrive by train from Washington, DC, that afternoon.

I think a couple of things in last night's LOST heralded a "game changing" scenario for the show: for those who didn't understand how it did.

1. Flashforwards now instead of only flashbacks.

2. The most combative "Others" have been taken out of commission one way or another. We ended the last season with the Others firmly in control. This season ends with exactly the opposite scenario. If that's not game-changing, I don't know what is.

DR Ben, I also very much enjoyed the alligator attack. What a hilarious way to start my morning.

For those who are interested, STUDIO 60 comes back tonight to burn off its remaining episodes that have not yet aired.

Because this is the big Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR week in Charlotte, NBC's Thursday programming here has been preempted by race specials on our local NBC affiliate. STIO 60 is going to be shown in the early morning hours. I haven't decided yet if I'm even going to record it. I had grown very disenchanted with the show in its last couple of episodes, so I'm not sure I want to invest any more time in a show that's clearly a goner.

I agree completely with bk's assessment of CAN-CAN, both as a film and the DVD transfer. And thank goodness he saw the same color fluctuations I saw. I was afraid I had a defective disc or my DVD player/TV was about ready to bite the dust.

Fox really should remaster this and allow those who are interested to get replacements. However, if they didn't do it for the Todd-AO OKLAHOMA!, they certainly won't do it for CAN-CAN.

DR Musicguy will also be in town at the same time. I think he arrives a day or two before Ginny/Richard and I arrive. DtM and Singdaw, I hope you both can come to town....and HHW get together is something not to be missed!

I do hope Vixmom and the Vixter will show up as well!

I had read (in EW?) that the flashbacks were coming to an end, but I didn't know that they would be replaced by flashforwards. That is giong to take some fancy footwork, writing-wise.

The Others have lost their thirteen toughest members, plus their leader Ben is captured. But that doesn't mean that Jack and the survivors have that much of an upper hand. The Others as a group are still far more savvy and capable, posess knowledge of the island's mysteries and have reached a point where Ben's continued leadership is in question. However, I do predict that there will be an uneasy alliance between the two groups coming up next season, if only because there will be a greater common enemy.

I'm thinking the dead person is/was Walt. The casket seemed rather small and it was a "black" neighborhood.

I went to abc.com yesterday and watched "the feud." It was quite enjoyable, in a bitchy cat-fest sort of way.

TOD:

Carole King: Writer or The City (the 2 LPs that came out pre-Tapestry that not many people seem to have heard)

Joni Mitchell: Blue, Court and Spark

Wendy Waldman: Gypsy Symphony (she's Fred Steiner's daughter, did you know that? Of course you did)

Melissa Manchester: Home to Myself (really superior songwriting, before she turned into a MOR schmoozefest)

As for the TOD I am not sure what singers wrote their own songs....but from other DRs lists I will choose Carole King and The Carpenters. Did Paul Davis write his own songs? If so then I will add him.

OK, DH Richard is home from physical therapy (where he graduated from 1-pound weights to 2-pound) and the dentist ("Look, Ma, no cavities"). DS Rob is eating a yellow breakfast - orange juice, banana, scrambled eggs. I'm off to work.

Bye for now!
