Just to be safe... VIBES all around!

Legend of Hell House is one of the great horror films along the lines of The Haunting (Robert Wise) if Hell House was ever remade they's soup it up like the remake  of the Haunting with Catehrine Zeta Jones. People won't see a movie without CGI effects.

Had a sandwich and no fries or onion rings, picked up one package and an important envelope, did some banking, and am now home.  Just spent thirty minutes on the phone with Apple Care - when we did the last update for Safari, naturally they had to totally screw up the way it used to work and what I'm used to, i.e. if I was on this site, and clicked on a link, I would be taken to whatever the link site was.  Then by using the back arrow I'd be back at our site.  Apparently that was too easy, so now the back arrow can't be used to get back - instead it opens the second link in a tab and you have to click on the previous tab to get back.  It's just relearning, but how stupid.

no bill vibes for Elmore

Indeed. Many doses of bill vibes.

~~~DITTO, TOO!!~~~

Sony is looking at turning "Tootsie" into a musical. Yawn.

TOOTSIE's not written yet, but the parody lyric's done, if anyone has a minute for the NY Times comment box.

[just no "Ughs" - that means your staff especially, Jeffrey, you don't want anyone annoying Mr. L again, he's so protective of the people in his department]

Great lyrics, Fred!

Larry, sorry to hear about the HMO crap. I hope it can be worked out to your favor.

I believe Aine took this photo of Stephen Rea recording the Finale from the chorus loft. He's on the left in black, next to Karl Harpur in orange.

Now I am confused.  In your pictures yesterday you identified those two gentlemen in reverse order.  And since I don't know either one of them, I took it that Karl was the one in black and that Stephen Rea was in orange.

I'm off to see a production of Chicago in which a friend of mine is playing Velma.  Their Mary Sunshine walked a few weeks ago and instead of re-casting, they wrote the character out.  I don't hold up much hope for this production.  I'm already falling asleep!!

Stephen Rea is 66; Karl is about 31. Have you never seen Stephen in THE CRYING GAME? What a great movie!

I also posted a photo of me with Karl and Karl with Judy our producer.

Is anyone singing Mary Sunshine's song?

Here's Karl today clebrating his work visa!

DITTO!!!

This isn't the first time I've seen a problem like this.  It is scary this can happen.  I know someone who went to the emergency room at his approved hospital only it seems the contracted ER doctor wasn't part of the insurance.

Page Four?

The rest of rehearsal went well, and the production team seemed to like me, so that was good.

[JoseSPiano]

I biked home, and now I'm trying to figure out what I want for dinner. I started the day with smoked salmon and eggs. I think I'll be finishing it with some hamachi and toro.

~~~~~HMO COVERAGE VIBES FOR DR ELMORE~~~~~~

[JoseSPiano]

...That reminds me of the time when Blue Cross/Blue Shield would not cover an emergency room visit I had. The reason: "You weren't admitted to the hospital." -Even though the doctor spent a good hour of "active" time on me, including ordering three major tests since he could not figure out what was happening. -This was part of my "mystery allergy" - which, alas, remained a mystery.

[JoseSPiano]

...And there was another ER visit I had to contest - again, on the grounds that it was not a true emergency since I was not admitted. However, thankfully, the doctor mentioned in his chart that he had had a group of medical students come in while I was in the examination room - they were on rounds. He even asked them what they thought could be causing my allergic reaction. -I developed hives all over my body and my blood pressure went through the roof. An epi-pen helped return me to normal, but no specific trigger was ever found. In the meantime, since I could prove that for 20 minutes first year med students were giving possible diagnoses...

I hope that company still includes "Mary Sunshine" in their cast list. Otherwise, if the licensing house's "clippings service" gets wind of what they did, well... Not good.

Someone on Twitter posted the following tweet in reactio this announcement...

-And, yes, it could be considered in bad taste, but....




"One foot underground... Ha ha ha ha... Two feet underground... Ha ha ha ha... Three feet underground..."

We know more about the shooting: a former employee of a store near the Empire State Building at 33rd Street waited to shoot the manager. After he shot his victim, all hell broke loose. Some of the victims may have been wounded by police in the return fire.

There was a series of harrassment complaints from both victim and shooter, and this was a battle going on for about a year.

And there was a shooting in Brooklyn(?) last night where a street vendor thought another street vendor was honing on his turf, so he took out a gun and started firing. Two people were injured. Thankfully, two cops were in the area and had the situation under control in a very short amount of time.

[JoseSPiano]

OK...

Time for sushi.

There was a major production of Company in Australia a few years ago where this happened...here's what the Wikipedia entry says:

2007 Australian production
 
Kookaburra Musical Theatre mounted a production directed by Gale Edwards in Sydney in June 2007, starring David Campbell as Bobby, with a cast including Simon Burke, Anne Looby, James Millar, Pippa Grandison, Katrina Retallick, Tamsin Carroll and Christie Whelan. The show was well-received, and Sondheim travelled to Australia for the first time in thirty years to attend the opening night. However, the production caused major controversy when Whelan was out sick for one performance and (with no understudy) Kookaburra chief executive Peter Cousens insisted the show be performed anyway, but without the character of April. This involved cutting several numbers and scenes with no explanation, and that night's performance ended twenty minutes early. Following complaints from the audience, there was considerable negative press attention to the decision, and Sondheim threatened to revoke the production rights for the show.

This is the world we live in.

And people on castrecl tell me that when a person I do not know

posts creepy imposing images of gravestones; posts announcements online that "FRED LANDU is dead"; posts "Ugh" in the NY Times comments to  a Molly Ringwald parody (of all things) in a manner that has to take insanely circuitous steps to go out of his way to keep his identity from being detected; insists that he knows me personally and that I "consider him a friend": and directs at me a lyric
"I wanna stick pins your eyes...
In short
I really hope you die"
People there have the audacity to tell me that I cannot read and that I am reacting to something that is not there, when all I ask is that the owner of a chat board (Ann Miner and Mike Reynolds) who knows the person's identity just assure me that the person is not a madman.

So that was the story I briefly saw on the news while at the gym.

That is what's going on.  that's why I'm finding it so odd that people are rallying around that Ann Miner - not even fair IMHO to describe her as a feelimngperson based on the lack of human responsibility, more like an animal in terms of behavior here in this case, just a cold, unfeeling, intractable unfeeling being.

I'm not taking sides, but don't you think she's being intractable because of the anonymity of the AllThatChat posters? Like that situation recently with Facebook?

I'm sorry that you are working yourself into such a state, DR FJL, but I think you're letting some creep drive you mad for his personal amusement and you're giving him a fantastic show. You've got to stop obsessing over this for your own piece of mind. Otherwise, file a suit against Ann Miner, and if you do, I hope you win it. I don't think she's giving up any names without a subpoena.
