Post by: bk on July 16, 2010, 12:18:00 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were both stupid and a snack, and now it is time for you to post until the stupid cows come home - they're currently snacking on MOO Pies.

CD - GLEE Season One
(I am saving my Stu Phillips CD as an investment, but it looks so interesting that I may have to open it!)

DVD - CRY BABY! with Mr Johnny Depp and some first season episodes of SOUTHLAND

I am also reading a book of short stories by Leonard Michaels and HEARTBREAKER by John Meyer who spent a few months with Miss Judy Garland at the end of her life, most distressing and I am not sure I finish it.

Post by: Jrand73 on July 16, 2010, 04:36:26 AM: Last night's performance of BLITHE SPIRIT was most excellent, with Mr Tim Good as Charles Condomine receiving entrance applause from his colleagues at DePauw University who happened to be in attendance, which was fun.

Cast also received a standing ovation, its first. Good hearty laughs all through the evening, and only a few line bobbles here and there.

Post by: Jrand73 on July 16, 2010, 04:47:21 AM: I bought one of these on Monday and it arrived yesterday, not a bad way to listen to records without having to hook the turntable up to the computer - now I only have to do that if I want to make a CD of the LP.

The special item of the day at that site is a similar player that records CD's.

Post by: elmore3003 on July 16, 2010, 04:55:07 AM: Good morning, all! I went to bed around 9:30 and slept until 6:45 this morning, sao I must have needed the sleep.

This is the week my friends appear on THE GOOD WIFE: both Rebecca Luker and Glory Crampton have been signed to appear in episodes. Yea!

DR JRand59, isn't it great when a performance turns out well? I'm very happy you had a good performance last night. I hope the rest go as well, if not better.

BK, thanks for the update on DR Jose. I'm sorry he lefy and I miss him. I haven't heard a thing from him for several months, and I miss him. I couldn't have got through the bedbug crisis or my diabetic visits to the ER in 2008 without him and I hope that, whatever he may be up to, he's happy. I thought he might have found true love and that was taking up his time.

So, this morning, my first round as an NYU Dental Clinic patient, and this could be grisly. Luckily I have the afternoon to either cope or get drunk. Tonight I'm seeing LEND ME A TENOR with Jon McDevitt, the Scarecrow in last week's WIZARD OF OZ. I bought the tickets for me and Chris, but the band that only seems to play Hanukkah events has a gig, so Chris can't see the comedy and i can't go watch the Gods of Fire in the Village.

TOD:
DVD: Spring Awakening, D.H. Lawrence's SONS & LOVERS, a few others
CD: Waldteufel waltzes, Perry Como, rare BK tracks, Liz Callaway, Rebecca Luker, Jacques Offenbach
VCR: Smut

Post by: John G. on July 16, 2010, 05:03:50 AM: TOD: Haven't had time this week for much and am far, far behind on work, so I've saved "Sherlock Holmes" and "The Informant" for possible weekend viewing. There's "New York, New York" for the DVD. And hopefully a few page of "Beautiful Maria of My Soul" for reading.

DVD:
I picked up the season 1 (actually I think it only lasted one season) set of FRONTIER CIRCUS (John Derek and Richard Jaeckel) so I might dip into that, although I still have two episodes of ROUTE 66 left to watch.

DVR:
THE LOCKET (1946) starring Laraine Day, Brian Aherne, and little Sharyn Moffett (sister of my friend Gregory Moffett).

CD:
Compilation of pop music from around the world.

Post by: Dan (the Man) on July 16, 2010, 09:26:34 AM: I DM'ed DR Jose in Twitter after he was missing here a few days early in June. He answered back that he was simply catching up with things and that he would be back at HHW. I've pinged him twice more in Twitter since then and received no reply, though I plainly see him tweeting his activities there all the time. I would gripe about being ignored but I can't exactly throw any stones in that department...

I'm going to take him to the lake to cool him off. A friend told me about a spot I haven't been to that doesn't have fox tails. His vet appointment isn't until 2:30 and then they are closed for the weekend. I hope he doesn't need surgery.

It's bad enough that the town where the action is set is about a fifteen minutes from New York and Chicago so people can walk out of a scene in town and be in a major city in the next, but the acting is hitting bravura heights of moronic lows ths afternoon.

Title: Re: STUPID SNACKS
Post by: bk on July 16, 2010, 01:00:59 PM: Yet another reason to never trust and to totally detest these Blu-Ray/DVD review sites - in talking about the new region B Diana Dors double bill Blu-ray set, the site owner has this to say about the transfer:

The grain levels are generally pleasing and the color contrasts spot on.

Nothing inherently wrong with that sentence save for the tiny little fact that both films are in black and white.

Sherlock had a wonderful time at the lake today. There was a cute chocolate lab puppy for him to play with. He smiled the entire time. Keith had to hose him off twice when we returned home he was so dirty. We much prefer dirt to foxtails and burrs.

Title: Re: STUPID SNACKS
Post by: Jane on July 16, 2010, 04:26:32 PM: About a year ago I was hiking the trails with Sherlock and met a nice couple who stopped to admire him. They were in the process of moving here. She had sold her vet practice in Portland and was looking to work as a relief vet here. I told her my vet was great and she should work there. I then proceeded to tell her reason why she shouldn't work for another vet in the area. All the way back to my car I kept thinking I couldn't believe what I had told these people I didn't know.

Guess who is now the relief vet for my vet and recognized Sherlock today :) Small world. She also told me she appreciated my comments and check out the other vet incognito when her dog needed a rabies vaccination and agreed with my comments.

Smart lady worked for awhile at the emergency practice to get a feel for the vets in the area. She said she only sent her resume to six vets.

DR Jane - my group read A LESSON BEFORE DYING several years ago because it was Cincinnati's On the Same Page all-city read selection. It was very much out of character for us and not one of our favorites.

I'm glad I just reread this. I thought you said it was one of your favorites. Big difference there & one to remember if I'm tempted to chose the book for our discussion.

This is better than that with a lot more variety in the treatments of the theme. But what a theme!

So far I'm minus calories for the day. So, I could have a nice barbecue chicken sandwich or my scramble that I like so much, or something different for a change.

It's essentially a concert of 1960s dance music performed in a theater by theater performers...not an existing rock band or group. It'll be very loud with very high energy. The theater group, Harlequin Productions, creates this every year. Last year, they did "Sixties Chicks," and performed songs by women singers and/or songwriters of the 1960s.

Be back later!

TOD:

DVD:
I picked up the season 1 (actually I think it only lasted one season) set of FRONTIER CIRCUS (John Derek and Richard Jaeckel) so I might dip into that, although I still have two episodes of ROUTE 66 left to watch.

DVR:
THE LOCKET (1946) starring Laraine Day, Brian Aherne, and little Sharyn Moffett (sister of my friend Gregory Moffett).

Why do I assume that Gregory Moffett was the much older brother of little Sharyn?

I don't remember the physical production of the original LEND ME A TENOR being this athletic and funny. I think the cast is wonderful: Anthony LaPaglia, whom I knew 30 years ago as a bartender, was wonderful as the Italian tenor, and Tony Shalhoub and Justin Bartha are equally amazing. Who woulda guessed that Stanley Tucci would deliver such a funny production. It's wonderfully directed by him.
