Larry, you might see Anthony at the library today. A friend of his got tickets for the Met's dress rehearsal of Madama Butterfly at 10:30am. He said depending on when they get out and how tired he is, he might go to the library.

A Trip To The Library?

How "She Loves Me"!!

I have officially hit the Friday afternoon wall and had to eat some dark chocolate M&M's to make it until 5:30pm. How will I make it through tomorrow and then another whole week until vacation?

Everyone have a great two weeks and I will report real soon.

Enjoy yourself, Michael, in the Old Europe!

Some news about last night's ratings:

In the 8 p.m. hour, SURVIVOR led followed by the GREY'S ANATOMY clip show, and MY NAME IS EARL/THE OFFICE.

At 9, GREY'S ANATOMY scored a surprise win over CSI as the most watched show of the night. GREY'S had 25+ million viewers to CSI's 22 million. DEAL OR NO DEAL finished third.

At 10. ER ruled the roost. ABC's SIX DEGREES came in second losting almost half its GREY'S ANATOMY lead-in while CBS' SHARK came in third, again losing half the audience of its predecessor. More bad news for those two new shows: the audience for the second half of the show dropped off from the first half meaning people were tuning out, not a good sign.

As I was preparing myself to exit the apartment and head into midtown, my phone rang> It was DR Michael S waiting at JFK for his flight to Budapest. He sends regards to one and all, and I wished him a safe flight and wonderful time from all of us.

I am now heading out. I have a show tonight and then a party, so I'll check in later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Have a great evening, DR Elmore, visiting with DRs Tomovoz and FJL and celebrating the nun's triumph.

I am still cogitating on the idea of Elizabeth Taylor dating again.

How much is there to do in an ICU?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #128 on:** September 22, 2006, 01:59:37 PM »

Wouldn't she have to start getting ready the day BEFORE the date?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #129 on:** September 22, 2006, 02:06:40 PM »

Elmer Bernstein's score to THE MIRACLE certainly helps that movie along....though his score for a later Carroll Baker flick THE CARPETBAGGERS is one I like better.

I've been doing stuff that I thought I was done with - a bit of banking, a couple of errands I forgot about, etc.

I understand that Canadians got treated to episode 2 of GREY'S ANATOMY last night instead of the season premiere. Some screwup in NYC sent next week's episode via satellite by mistake. Next week, they're going to broadcast the season premiere though whatever surprises were there have obviously been spoiled by this error.

ABC is rebroadcasting last night's premiere at 8 p.m. in the US.

Now, off to take care of some household chores, mop the kitchen, and read more in the Eileen Heckart biography. Then, back to TV/DVDs.

Funny on one of the ABC message boards they keep trying to sqaush the threads about the mixup and they keep popping up.

So glad you got to finally see WICKED, DR George.

I saw both AVENUE Q and WICKED on the same summer trip and loved both of them. I'm glad I wasn't a Tony voter becasue to choose between the two of them would have been a horrible decision.

I will say that I adored WICKED and couldn't have been more entertained or satisfied, but when AVENUE Q ended, I had tears in my eyes because I didn't want it to end.

My friend Margo also saw both shows on Broadway. She loved both, as well.

But she did say that as far as acting in Wicked, she liked Shoshana Bean as Elphaba better than Idina Menzel. She said that Idina was good and very loud...a lot louder than Shoshana, but there wasn't as much to her performance as what Shoshana offered. Margo thought that Shoshana actually acted the role and was much more affecting in the part.

DR George - I had forgotten that Shoshana took over the Wicked tour after Julia Murney left. I think it's great that she's been able to play her hometown.

AND Megan Hilty (Galinda) is from Bellevue, Washington, which is a suburb of Seattle! They're both local!

Thanks for the encouragement. I think I will audition. The last 2 shows I was in were both musical revues one a Gershwin tribute and one a Cole Porter tribute. I had a blast doing them and should be able to easily work up one or two of my solos from those shows to use for an audition number.

I never seem to notice audition notices for plays here, but it seems everywhere I turn I'm seeing the notice for auditions for this revue, so maybe the universe is trying to tell me something.

DO IT!! If I can audition after not having performed in public for four and a half years, you can too!!

I tell ya - I really thought that I had most of the day to not do anything - but I just was kept on the phone for an hour with The Brain publicist - the entire afternoon has been filled with that sort of thing.

Deidre Hall -- I met her once years ago at an event my cousin who wanted to go to and I felt she was incredibly rude for giving us a tongue lashing for accidently bumping into her despite our apologies. Needless to say, I was not impressed with her.

I found Deidre (she said "Please call me Deidre") to be totally charming and even more beautiful in-person than on television. I guess everyone is entitled to a bad day - even celebrities.
