So, now I'm back here with my friend, Nick - who is also a bit tired tonight. I almost headed down to Don't Tell Mama, but I just decided I was too tired to really enjoy myself there. I have a feeling I'll be turning in early tonight. Which is OK. I wanna get to Whole Foods at the Time-Warner Center in the morning before it gets too crazy. Then I have rehearsal with Penny at 2:30. Then I'm observing MAMMA MIA! tomorrow night. So tomorrow is quite a full plate. Which is good.

Benny discovers the Doggie Door and leads the Parade

Benny is smart!

Thank you for the description and some quotations for Christmas Rose. My flower book says that they bloom in Christmas time, too, but MY Christmas Roses usually bloom in this season for these five years...how strange.

"The Red Violin" is a wonderful DTS Stereo viewing/listening experience.

It was my first DTS video and it blew me away!

"The Red Violin" you watched is the one with Samuel L. Jackson?
I saw it in Italian version and it's my favorite.

Watch new episode of Trail by Jury (the last 30 minutes) I really liked it and did not miss the jury deliberation this time around. I complained that they were way too short las week.

I think that I will tackle the complete Lord of the Rings trilogy this weekend.

The Broadway-to-Hollywood boxed set sounds nice and tempting, DR MATTH. It must be just for me! Look forward to having it in Japan, too, soon. (unfortunately couldn't find it on amazon. co. jp yet)

Dear BK:
Did you get your overnightbag yet? If not, remember my recommendation.

Well. I am most impressed. I just stumbled across the following at Broadwayworld.com (which most of you probably already know about):

Kimmel To Have Book Signing For 'Writer's Block' on March 18th Featuring Special Guests And More

Post Feedback | Author Bio | Printer-Friendly | Subscribe to Alerts

March 11, 2005 - by BWW News Desk
Trying out a new musical can be MURDER!

Please join Grammy-nominated musical theatre record producer, screenwriter, director Bruce Kimmel for a reading and signing of his new mystery novel, Writer's Block

In conjunction with the book, Mr. Kimmel will be giving away a special limited edition five-track CD, only available at the signing.

Special guests will be on hand to sing songs from the musical featured in the book.

The party and signing will be held on March 18th from 5:00-7:00 at the Drama Bookshop located at 250 W. 40th Street NY, NY. Please RSVP to info@dramabookshop.com or 212-944-0595 x417

Set in the world of Broadway musical theater in 1969, Writer's Block is a funny, bitchy, suspenseful tale of the creation of a new musical-from the start of rehearsals, through the tryouts in New Haven and Boston, to opening night and after. The arguments, the fights, the tensions, the betrayals-yes, there's no business like show business. But when someone vital to the show turns up dead, apparently of accidental causes, it's time for one member of the production team to become an amateur Broadway sleuth in search of the truth-was the death an accident or was it murder?

“Writer's Block is one of those rare mysteries that pays greater dividends upon a second reading… Mischievous surprises… Part of the fun of Writer's Block is Kimmel's expert evocation of a bygone era in New York theater.” - Charles Wright, Theatermania

Well I have officially been trying to fall asleep for 3 hours.

I took a Contact C, and figured I would be out like a light. But it doesn't seem to have worked (usually if medication is supposed to make a person slightly drowsy, I get knocked out for almost a whole day).

My head and jaw are hurting I can't even lie down. And I keep getting the shivers (but have no fever). Weird.

I am hoping that DR can help me choose what to watch this weekend.

What are your top choices for DVDs that you would recommend as "Testers" for widescreen tvs and surround sound?

It's not a great film but BATMAN AND ROBIN has vibrant color, awesome surround sound, and great blacks in that opening sequence. LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING has the best DTS track I've ever heard. Go to the chapter where the skulls come raining down on Aragon and the others if you want to hear terrific (and very loud) sound design.

DR Tom, what Miss Marple mystery films has Geraldine done? I've never heard of them. Are they locally produced there, or are they available for purchase?

Der Brucer and I will be rising early tomorrow, so that we can enjoy the Chocolate Festival. This is NOT wussburgering. Anything done for chocolate is not wussburgering.

So there!!!

Matt H. · « **Reply #163 on:** March 11, 2005, 08:30:01 PM »

Yep, I thought that TRIAL BY JURY was excellent tonight, and, of course, they couldn't tell us much about the jury deliberations because of the ending of the show.

I had planned on recording NUMBERS tonight, but we're having ACC conference basketball preempting all of the CBS line-up. The local CBS station is showing NUMBERS tomorrow night at 11:35.

FIVE LITTLE PIGS was quite good. This must be the first CHristie mystery that had what turned out to be a gay male suspect as part of the story. I assume he was written that way in the book. Haven't read it in a long time, but he was certainly identified as such in the film.

I think its complete name is Classic Musicals Collection - Broadway-to-Hollywood

THE MUMMY is also good for picture and sound!

Brendan Fraser's THE MUMMY not Boris Karloff's THE MUMMY.

I am addicted to the budget DVDs of 1950s TV series TREASURY MEN IN ACTION (a.k.a. FEDERAL MEN)...4 volumes of a show I had never heard of before, but they are sure fun...lots of neat guest stars! Who knew a show about the IRS going after tax dogers could last for 4 years! LOL!

Here is my Bollywood movie for the weekend, which I am just about to start watching....

SOLVA SAAL (1958) The plot revolves aroudn a gangster who helps a college girl retrieve a stolen necklace, whilst singing and dancing, no doubt.

Made for the BBC - 4 only but there may be more. (2004)
Brilliant guest stars too. Derek Jacobi in "Murder at the Vicarage". Joanna Lumley was quite delightful in The Body in the Library and the lovely John Hannah is in another story.

4 Disc set of Miss Marple to be released in the UK March 14th. (the Geraldine McEwan ones)

Rodzinski fans can see plenty of me on TV during Pac-10 tournament action, as I am plainly in view at the press table when one team has the ball. Look up near the basket at the table, where I sit behind the very laptop on which I type these words. I wonder when the agents will start calling... My mother was excited anyway.

It's twue, it's twue!!!

Our very own DR Rodzinski and laptop are right there behind the Stanford bench. I should've talked him into playing mindgames with the Cardinal players to help out the Huskies, dang it!

Lunch at Hoggly-Woggly's could work just fine.

Hisaka, what was the brand of luggage again? I will most likely be buying something this weekend.
