Catching up from the last couple of days.
I read the review about the new musical Catch Me If You Can. Glad to see it works. I couldn't imagine the story being turned into a musical.
I was wondering about the use of the NBC peacock at the beginning of the show. Is Universal Studios one of the producers of the show? If so I guess the started the show with a product placement.
-
QUESTION FOR BK
Working with the woman from the very long musical.
Do you and the writers have Final Draft? If so they have CALLOBWRITER.
That's where you tie in with each others computers and you can make changes that can be seen by both people in real time.
This might help rather than doing it over the phone

My 50 year high school reunion was on August 8th.
I didn't go, primarily because it would have been a 7 hour trip (with a switch of planes) from Austin to Seattle.
Frankly, I'm not really sorry that I didn't go because virtually all of the people who I would like to have seen are no longer with us.
-
My 40 Year reunion is in two years (2011) I doubt I'll go because I don't keep in touch with anyone from high school. The last time I saw anyone was in 1981 at my 10th reunion.
-
Good morning, all! I went to bed around 11,, because I was tired, and I couldn't sleep, Around 12:30 I began reading John Wiley's book on the ballets of Lev Ivanov and stopped around 2. At some point after that I passed out. So, I slept longer than I wanted today, and I believe I will postpone my Toyland trek until tomorrow. I'm having a good time proofing the new orchestra score to OH BOY! and I believe I shall continue with that today. I also need to begin my notes on the Appendix numbers from THE MOST HAPPY FELLA.
I've managed to miss all my high school reunions, and DR Ginny and Richard usually keep me informed. For some reason, our 45th anniversary is having a reunion in September at the same time as my birthday. I had wanted to attend, but, because I worked little during July and because the asses in Accounts Payable at the Library of Congress have screwed up payments on Life Begins At 8:40, my finances are in utter chaos at the moment and I can't afford a trip to the corner. I also wanted to buy a new suit for the McGlinn memorial in September, which is also happening at the time of my high school reunion, since I'm one of the speakers, but I'll drag out the one I have and hope it fits.
Speaking of McGlinn, I've been thinking very seriously about my podium time. I have five minutes and I do not want it to be about me, which is what I see a lot in memorials, but I'm sure it will end up being exactly that. I also have to read a letter from tenor Jeffrey Lentz, who cannot attend.
-
A HUGE HHW BIRTHDAY CHEER AND HUG TO WONDERFUL DR VIXMOM!!!
Hooray!!!
-
Good morning!
A little brighter this morning but I suspect that means more heat and humidity. I'll be staying in today anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
-
Happiest of Happy Birthdays to DR Vixmom!!!
-
I seem to be sleeping a little longer each night, but I'm not satisfied that I'm on any kind of road to recovery. I still have sporadic aches and soreness and tightness. Hopefully, the MRI can be scheduled this week and that will give us some answers.
-
I'll be watching the next two noirs in that Criterion box set, but I'm ashamed to admit, I haven't pulled them out yet to see what they are. I'll watch one this afternoon and one this evening if it's humanly possible.
-
There's nothing on the DVR for me to watch while I eat lunch, so I may go ahead and watch the advanced showings in their respective On-Demand channels of NURSE JACKIE or TRUE BLOOD while I eat.

My 40th High School Reunion was last October and I had a wonderful time, as I have had at every reunion since our 20th (25th, 30th, 35th, 40th). Fortunately, our high school was rather small so we only had about 160-some people in our graduating class and you actually knew everybody. We've had pretty good turnouts for each one.
-
Thanks to all for the vibes and wishes on our closing night. It was fine, with a crying baby in the audience.
The strike was okay...90 minutes from start to finish. Then we had pizza and chatted until about 1:45 a.m. which was long enough.
And now on to ARSENIC AND OLD LACE. We did get a very nice standing ovation last night, in fact we received a standing ovation seven nights out of eight. We are the only show to do so this season. And we received lots of nice comments.....most expected, but a few unexpected. Expected because people are nice not because we necessarily deserved them all.....
-
Happy Birthday to DR VIXMOM.
I have to watch three DVD's and finish reading a couple of books so I can do some reviews BEFORE starting on lines!
-
Yes DR MBARNUM....MAD MEN is available on Comcast on Demand. It is a fun show and I am looking forward to its premiere tonight.

As you all know, I just attended my 30th class reunion. I had a great time. My class was a little bigger than Pogues and we have also always had a good turnout. We have them every 5 years and I'll go next time if I'm able

MR BK I think my friend Adam is in LA this week, you may hear from him for lunch.

I have never been to a high school or college reunion. I'm not really in touch with any of those people at all any more.

Happy Birthday, Vixmom!

We had a very fun pool party at the J last night. Of course, after weeks of 106 degree weather, it was quite chilly last night, so Betsy needed to run home to bring a stack of jackets/sweaters for people to wear. But other than that, it went wonderfully, and Gabe had a great day which he told us was the highlight of his childhood, LOL.
-
Just to be clear - this is not a high school reunion or any kind of official reunion - this is put together by someone who is obsessed with my sixth grade class.
-
Shayne, I wish it were that easy, but no, it's all being done in Word.
-
There was this fancy-schmancy Bat Mitzvah going on upstairs in one of the J's ballrooms, and they had a videographer outside taking "testimonials" from the people (it was evidently a themed party--they were all wearing pink cowboy hats and pink bandanas--at least, I'm hoping it was a themed party). So I told Gabe (who was in swim trunks with wet hair) he should go over and take the microphone and say, "Hi, I guess my invitation got lost in the mail, but I was downstairs at the *cool* Bar Mitzvah party and wanted to wish you good luck."
-
I'm up, and as has been the case for the last few days, it's overcast. That usually clears up around ten-thirty. I slept better last night.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR VIXMOM!
I know that this birthday will be very special to you.
-
It was probably supposed to be JMK's birthday and I screwed it up again.

Matt (or anyone else), I am curious why a network (is it HBO?) would put advance showings in On-Demand. I can understand having advance showings available for reviewers, but why the general public? It seems to defeat any hope of accurate ratings.
-
From last night:
DR JMK:
Funniest punchline of the kiddush luncheon--Betsy's cousin Brad came over and asked if all the male cousins (8 boys between the ages of 10-14) could congregate at our house and I could watch them for a little while before the rest of the troops arrived. At which point one of Betsy's radio friends, in her best advertising voice, looked at me and asked, "Isn't it time for another Percoset?"
With 10 you get minyan, right?
;)
-
As for my high school reunions...
...
That is all.

My kitchen has the wafting aroma of steamed cabbage.
Oh, DR td, I'm so sorry...

Especially since he was cooking spaghetti sauce. :P

Since it's so very hot out today, I put the two dozen stuffed cabbage into the electric roaster and put that onto the back porch. . .I'm cooking outside today.

I don't know if I would recognize anyone from my 6th grade class. I didn't have a good time in 6th Grade. We had a hateful teacher, Mr. Munsterman (I called him Mr. Monsterman) who played obvious favorites with students. I guess he thought it built character in the other students if it was obvious you weren't on his good list. He was a mean, nasty man and he helped to make 6th grade (a time of change for most students anyway) even more unpleasant.
We had over 600 students in my high school graduating class which is one of the reasons I don't attend. I know that most of those I was friends with wouldn't bother going anyway and I have nothing to say to the other 550 people who might show up. I didn't have a bad time in high school, I was actually pretty lucky that I wasn't singled out by those who could make my life miserable. There were a few other more obvious candidates they chose. I actually did have rather high status because I was prominent in the Drama and Speech department. While that usually spelled doom for students in many schools it didn't seem to make that much difference at Coon Rapids Senior High School. That was in 1971. Things have changed! My nephew has just finished his sophomore year there and he is not returning. He hasn't had a hellish year but because he likes theatre (and musicals) he has been taunted as being *gay* or a fag (he's not, he's one of those straight boys who likes musicals, God Forbid). Other things have happened as well so my brother and sister-in-law have decided it's worth the price for my nephew and niece to attend a private school. According to others in my family, my senior high school, which was once a respected, good school is now a sh*thole. Too bad. As I said, I don't have bad memories of high school, in fact in many ways it saved my sanity (difficult childhood and all) and pointed me to ways out. I just have no desire to reconnect with many people I haven't seen for 30 years.

It is dreadfully hot here in Manhattan. Some might enjoy it but it's torture for me. I do have to go out for some groceries for the week but we are staying in with the curtains drawn and the fans blowing. We will turn on the AC tonight before bedtime.
It's amazing how much cooler a room can be when you close the (heavy) drapes to keep out the beautiful but burning hot sun. We have lots of southern exposure so the sun fills the room if the curtains are open. We have to watch for fading of the rug and chair and photos on the table by the window.
-
You also have to be careful too much sun will make your hair turn gray................ or fall out.

I am watching four Slasher DVD's that I am to review for SCARLET MAGAZINE and I am about to die myself.....what is most horrifying is to see TWO pages of EXTRAS on these cheap jack, badly acted, worthless....movies (?).....and know I have to suffer through it again and again.

There's nothing on the DVR for me to watch while I eat lunch, so I may go ahead and watch the advanced showings in their respective On-Demand channels of NURSE JACKIE or TRUE BLOOD while I eat.
Matt (or anyone else), I am curious why a network (is it HBO?) would put advance showings in On-Demand. I can understand having advance showings available for reviewers, but why the general public? It seems to defeat any hope of accurate ratings.
I'm sure any viewings of the On-Demand choices, especially for paycable offerings, will be forwarded from cable companies to the respective networks for them to figure into the ratings. All DVR recordings of shows are likewise added into the final count for shows. You have to remember in the 21st century that ratings are compiled from more than one viewing experience, especially with cable shows which repeat the shows several times throughout the week. Nielsen calls these advanced ratings "overnight + 7" meaning the premiere airing plus all other airings within seven days of the premiere.
-
Had a pretty good afternoon. We also had a tremendous rainstorm that lasted a couple of hours. We were running about an inch under the monthly average, but I'll bet that was erased this afternoon.
-
I watched NURSE JACKIE while I ate lunch. Excellent episode with only two left for its first season. Victor Garber was the guest star playing a snooty movie critic.
-
This afternoon's work project was called RUSTY KNIFE, and I liked it much more than yesterday's I AM WAITING. Production values seemed a bit higher, too, and the liner notes say that this was a smash hit when it was released in 1958.
-
Then I pulled out TOY STORY 2 and watched it. It was just a DVD, of course (Blu-ray coming next year), but upconverted in my Blu-ray player, it looked as close to HD as it's possible for a movie to look.
And I like the second one much more than the original film. Those Randy Newman songs in the movie are just great, especially the poignant one about Jessie's loss of her owner's affection as she grew up.
-
I had a very strange dream last night. In it, Don Grady and Tina Cole were in a Bollywood movie with Tina Cole doing some "Gumnaam" type numbers. Somehow my "My Three Sons" (the later seasons) plug got put into my Bollywood hole.
So to speak.

I've got some writing to do, and then I'll head back down to fold the laundry (still in the dryer right now) and then get to my next work project tonight.

Only yesterday I dreamed that I was working with and dating Abhishek Bachchan! In my dream Abhishek and I were at various places in and around Pittsburgh as well as at my house.

Nice playground, and it is always nice to see Miss Dixie Bell :)
-
Thanks, DR Kerry!
Oh, and one more for good measure:
ZACH
(http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t87/singdaw/P9130004.jpg?t=1250460149)
Zach is almost as handsome as his......... mother.
-
I took the girls cemeterying in LA. We saw Evelyn Nesbit, Lawrence Welk, Bing Crosby, Bugsy Seigel, Marilyn Monroe, and Mrs. Miller.
-
When did you take the girls to L.A.? Did you go for the night & to Disneyland?
-
Lovely doggie photos from DR DAW and DR td.
The headstone photos were very interesting as well.
I am most intrigued by the Japanese Noirs that DR MATTH was writing about writing about yesterday and DR MBARNUM posted a link to....most interesting, but a bit pricey for me.

Recovery vibes to the Mayor of Milwaukee who was beaten with a lead pipe when he tried to help a woman who was being attacked
http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/08/16/milwaukee.mayor.attacked/index.html
My sister-in-law, who was just here, is an ADA in Milwaukee and may get that case! I was just asking her about the little girl there who slit her grandfather's throat. Evidently it wasn't a totally bad thing, if you get my drift. This is the same sister in law who was mentioned on Rush Limbaugh's show several years ago, much to the hilarity of the rest of the family.
-
My guess is the guy will plead to something. Not a good case to take to trial from a defense standpoint
-
This will soon be Yogi's playground.
-
My new TV has a beautiful picture. Unfotunately, it is not in HD. Sigh! :P
-
Birthday wishes to vixmom
-
DR TCB have you figured out what is needed to get your HD picture?
-
DR TCB have you figured out what is needed to get your HD picture?
Yes, a new cable box.
-
I think.
-
I had to upgrade my box to receive the HD signal
-
This will soon be Yogi's playground.
I was waiting for someone else to ask, so that I wouldn't have to look stupid; but who is Yogi?
-

My old TV was so old (How old is it?) that they apparently had to use one of their old obsolete cable boxes to match my set.

Our grand-dog, or Craig & Ioana's dog. If you look closely you can see Craig & Yogi in the photo.
-
DR TCB I hope you can get the HD picture soon.

DR TCB I hope you can get the HD picture soon.
Well, I am not going to wait for the mountain to come to Muhammad. I have packed up my cable box and remote, and I will go to Comcast tomorrow and exchange them.

I thought that was your grand-dog, but I figured I would feel really stupid if you had a brother named Yogi; and I mentioned that he would have lots of trees to pee on.
-
Ginny, how are you?
-
Ginny, how are you?
Exhausted. Thanks for asking, DR TCB.
I'm sorry to sit here like so much fish, but it's nice just to be in BK's living room with all of you.
-
Has there been any change with John?
-
Jane, I took the girls many years ago -- probably around 2002.

Your girls, right? Not the neighbor girls?
-
Sandra and Megan.
-
Hi Ginny. Is John still at the hospital or is the hospice room in a new location?
-
Sandra and Megan.
LOL-I had thought you meant the neighbor girls.
-
Back from the reunion, have addressed all packages (will postage them tomorrow), and had a meal at Jerry's Deli again.

No food at the reunion? Well, what you serve at a 6th grade reunion? Graham crackers and chocolate milk?
-
Milk & crackers work for me ;)
Bruce, did you have a nice time? I would enjoy a 6th grade reunion.
-
G'night!
-
I'll be announcing our new title at midnight tonight for your eyes only.
-
I decided to skip my last reunion because I decided that, with the exception of one person, I really didn't care what any of them were doing.
The one person I cared about I saw last spring. And I should see him and his lovely wife more often.
-
bk - Is the guy who organizes these sixth grade class reunions actually part of your sixth grade class? Or is he truly obsessed with your sixth grade class?
-
Happy Birthday DR Vixmom. Hope you had a great day!
-
DRs TCB and Jane - the only change is that John was transferred to the Hospice of Dayton campus about noon today. It's a lot more comfortable for his wife and daughters. Farther from their (and our) homes, though.
-
Another good "True Blood"... And now onto "Mad Men"...

-
DR Ginny, I hope not too much farther away. Is your sister-in-law sleeping there? I feel so very bad for all of you.
-
DR TCB I hope you can get the HD picture soon.
Well, I am not going to wait for the mountain to come to Muhammad. I have packed up my cable box and remote, and I will go to Comcast tomorrow and exchange them.
If you have a set of rabbit ears, you could probably get local HD channels over-the-air right now. All you'd need to do is go into your TV's setup menu and have it search for the local signals. But without rabbit ears, it won't work.

My work project tonight was called TAKE AIM AT THE POLICE VAN. It was a whodunit, believe it or not. Story was a little confused, but the action was intense, and the central performance, a jailhouse guard who's investigating the crime of the movie's title, was excellent.
-

John's wife and youngest daughter have not left him now since Thursday, except briefly Friday night. The other 2 daughters, from his previous marriage, have been there when their job and family responsibilities permit.
-
It was only 79 minutes, so I had plenty of time to watch other things. I opted for more DOLLHOUSE episodes on Blu-ray. I watched two more shows. The first was a very good which I had watched during the show's regular run, but having seen all of the preceding shows, it made a lot more sense now. Nice surprise ending with the idenification of the neighbor's identity.
-
I tell you. Elmore has some good looking friends!
birds of a feather....
-
The second episode was not so good, a muddled story with flashbacks mixing two stories, neither very effective, about a drug which was making everyone lose his inhibitions.

Is this a foreign film?
-
I watched a little bit of THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM on HBOW-HD. I have the HD-DVD of it, but it was nice seeing about 20 minutes of that spectacular car chase
-
'night!
-
Hi Vixmom. Have you had a nice birthday? Did you eat cake?

All of these films I'm watching for work are from a box of Japanese noir films, hence the awkward title.
-
'night Ginny. Rest well. I also hope Johns wife & daughter get some sleep.
-
And I ended my eveing watching tonight's TRUE BLOOD, a super episode with a very emotional ending. I loved it.
-

DR Ginny, did you and Richard see Christine Andreas perform? I wonder how many showed up for her?

That is a lot of sub-titles to read in one grouping ;)

And that's why I love you!

Hello all!! I am sorry I was E & T all day but I was busy getting ready to celebrate and then celebrating and then cleaning up afterwards
-
bk - Is the guy who organizes these sixth grade class reunions actually part of your sixth grade class? Or is he truly obsessed with your sixth grade class?
:) Yes, he's a member of the class.
-
We had a barbeque today- the guests were my parents , my brother and his fiancee and the Vixter's best friend and her family (parents and 2 brothers) and another one of the Vixters girlfriends
-
Just finished proofing the packaging for our new release - it looks swell - have a few corrections to give, which I'll hopefully do later tonight, then we'll send it for approval and get it to the printers by Tuesday. The master will be finalized by early tomorrow afternoon and that will get Fed Exed to the pressing plant. And then, it's on to the next, which we'll announce two weeks from this Thursday. Whew!
-
It was hot and sunny all day but the kids were in the pool and we were in the tent cabana thingy and it was very nice
-
Going to write for just a little bit and then heading down to bed.
Good night!
-
Sounds like a very nice day DR Vixmom. :D
-
'night

I marinated some steak for 24 hours in some Cabernet Savereoign and garlic, black pepper and kosher salt, and cooked in over slow heat in the gas grill and it came out tender and delicious
we also had bonelesschicken breasts which I cooked ina pan with ginger dressing, soy sauce and sesame seeds mixed all together , also over low heat - also a success
the menu also included new potatoes slowly cooked in butter in the grill, boiled sweet corm n on the cob, coleslaw that I made from a kit I got at Costo yesterday -
they give you the sliced cabbage, shelled and quartered walnuts, dried cranberries and the dressing - I mixed it all together this morning and let it sit for about 6 hourts before servingand it was really good.
I also served a green salad which was another Costco kit - fancy lettuces, thinly sliced carrots, glazed pecans, feta cheese and dried cranberries to whci I added cucumber and which I served with a cranberry balsamic dressing
oh and dinner rolls and my Mom brought homemade potato salad
-
thank you all for the lovely birthday wishes - I wish I could have had all of you here for my boirthday celebration
-
What? No cake and ice cream on the menu?
-
there was no cake however the other Mom brought cannolis and we set up our chocolate fountain and had fresh strawberries, blueberries, bannana slices, grapes, marshmallows and graham crackers for dipping
Oh and I also had Klondike Bars
-
so that's the ice cream!!
-
My best freind since we were 14, who resides in Michigan, sent me a beautiful bouquet and my lovely Canadian niece who today celebrated her 1st anniversary called me, as did my inlaws and my other brother and family (who live in Ohio)
So all in all it was a wonderful day
-
Watching Grumpy Old Men right now.
-
The Vixrer presented me with a birthday card she made herself
-
Nice, Vixmom!

YUM!!! Want to come and cook in my kitchen?
-
I'm at my home, watching TV and making DVDs of TV shows for my niece and a friend. I should've been at my sister's doing laundry. I could've been doing laundry here at my house, but I brought all my dirty clothes to my sister's thinking that I would spend most of today there. I didn't. Anyway, I have to leave and do laundry, now.
Have a good rest of the evening, all!
-
this is the picture she drew
-
Very nice card!
-
and this is the poem she wrote - that made me cry
You've reared me from my childhood
You've held me in your arms
You've always been right by my side
to keep away life's harms
You've always been a trusted friend
We're closer than words can say
and I know somehow we'll stay this close
no matter what comes our way
You've given me your golden hair
and sparkling saphire eyes
You taught me to appreciate
Spring flowers and evening skies
No matter what life throws at us
This one thing will stay true
I'll make it out of anything
as long as I have you
-
That's wonderful Vixmor.

I must admit I have never been very creative in cooking nor have I been much of a marianter - but the meals that Skip has cooked that I have been lucky enough to eat were my inspiration
the slow cooking beef in a low heat was a trick that Skip taught me last Christmas when I called in a panic realizing I had no clue how to cook the prime rib I had purchased
-
I love Skip's cooking!!!
-
and I must also thank Jose and Woody for their many culinary explanations -
-
I love Skip's cooking!!!
he is amazing!!!
Maybe now that this dinner turned out well I will be brave enough to invite them here to sample my cooking
-
Glad you had a good day Vixmom, you certainly deserve it
-
Time for me to go...night
-
thank you!!
Your kitchen is lovely BTW - would you like to come and do mine?
-
DR the vixter - Thank you for making me cry. :)
-
Just read the posts abpve about cooking to Skip - thanks, Cilla and vixmom!
-
Beautiful poem by the vixter!
-
DR vixmom - It really does sound like you had a wonderful day.
*Now promise me - promise all of us - that you will continue to celebrate your birthday by not working more than eight hours tomorrow. ;)
-
Oh and my present from Vixdad was

well I'll try ... we have someone out on vacation so I cannot promise
-
I have really really really wanted to get a Shark steam mop and could not justify the expense so I was really happy when Vixdad preaneted mne with not only teh shark but the new top of the line version
I used it this morning on my kitchen floor which is ceramis tile, the wood floor it the living room and the tiel floor in the downstairs bath
It was so easy to use and got the floors so clean!! I was very excited
-
Just read the posts abpve about cooking to Skip - thanks, Cilla and vixmom!
You two are wonderful hosts _ and It was so gernrous of him to spend all that time on the phone with me last Christmas to talk me through my cooking dliemma while you had a house full of guets yourselves
-
If I have not learned anything else in this past year I did learn this : I am very very blessed and I count all of you who have been so wonderfully supportive and generous with your love, your time and your knowlege
-
and now I want to hear all about Gabe's Bar Mitzvah and I want to see pictures!!
-
Oh...
I had a nice time at the private screening earlier tonight, and I also had a nice, albeit brief, time at the India Day Parade and Festival. -There were really just too many people crammed into too few blocks down by Madison Square Park. One of the food stands had two portable, wood-burning tandoor ovens - now that's a lotta heat! And one the kulfi - ice cream - vendors just kept grabbing the treats right out of the dry ice! -A burn of a different type.
-
And now... I'm going to have to head to the land of the Wussburgers...
Goodnight.
-
I just caught up on yesterday - Ginny I am so very sorry
I will say some extra prayers tonight for John and all who love him
-
Gosh - I have to get up in 6 hours.... goodnight!!
-
And now, I must be off. I need to go to my place and feed my cat, then come back to my sister's and do some more laundry. ;)
Have a good day, all!!
Vibes to George that he keeps track of whose house he is in and which cat he is feeding!
-
Thanks, DR Kerry!
Oh, and one more for good measure:

Hi Kerry
-
The day was busy, but not very exciting.
So I have nothing to post.
-
Sleep well everyone.
:)
-
Goodnight, Sam. Goodnight, 2 guests.
-
The vixter even made me cry! What a lovely card!
And I thought I cried enough at the end of TRUE BLOOD tonight. . .
-
FJL, are we having a get-together at some point - I'd love to see as many of you dear, dear people out there in the dark as possible.
-
The vixter even made me cry!
Me three!!
-
I have not stopped today - just one thing after another, but boy did I get a lot done. I just did the editing road map for the next Kritzerland CD (after the one I'm announcing here tonight at midnight), so that's a big load off. I tried to start a movie, but there was just no time to watch it.
-
bk - being busy is probably the best thing to help you from feeling blue!
