And the word of the day is: CADOGAN!

I do believe we've got us some late night denizens.

Who, ME?
I'm tuckered out. That's right, I said TUCKERED. I'm gonna take a shower and go to bed.

Dear reader Sandra is now the proud owner of Cherry Coke pants. I bought them for her.

I'll make sure they get shipped just as soon as they arrive - even though I'll be in NY at the time, it shall be done.

And then we'll have lots of photographic evidence of the wearing of the Cherry Coke pants.

Yes, as Larry said, I have a friend in a Fringe Show. It's a case of a good actor in a bad show. I will talk to him today and tell him I enjoyed his performance but the play is not very good. It's only 5 performances so it will be over soon (in fact this weekend).

The pain in my shoulder has finally reached the melt-down point. The Vicodin no longer helps. Next Tuesday's MRI can't come fast enough.

Thursday morning greetings! No, I didn't stay up all night, just forgot to log out from here.
DR TCB - DH Richard just returned from a follow-up with the hunk surgeon who operated on his shoulder 4 months ago. You'll be in my thoughts as you proceed down this path - vibes for your MRI!

Hmm... I guess we had some rain overnight. And we're due for some storms this afternoon and early evening too.
Don't forget your umbrella, DR Cason!
*Or did you leave that in L.A. too? ;)

If DR Cason had to go to Brooklyn for tap shoes, might he have to go to The Bronx for an umbrella? Or Staten Island?

Good morning, all! I slept poorly and now I'm behind schedule for today, so I may make a few adjustments in my plans, which include another NYPL trek. I'm hoping the person I may have offended yesterday is a forgiving sort and calls me back today, but it may be an irreparable situation. I hope not. Any vibes would be appreciated.
Have I told you all how much I love the new office? When I first saw it, buried in moving cartons, I wasn't too certain about it. Now that the space is workable - although still computerless - I think it's quite excellent, much better than the grungy warehouse look of the other.

They're usually $5.00. Saves them from having to make change in the rain (usually). However, I have some friends who have had luck with the $10.00 umbrellas - the ones that come with the retractable cap/sleeve (that looks like those collapsible pill cups). They usually make it through two or three rain events.

And remember, DR elmore - The storms they're predicting for this afternoon seem to be a sure thing, so just remember that as you're planning your public transportation itinerary for today.

Good morning!
The hellish heat of August has return with a vengeance. It was 99 yesterday and is supposed to get to 101 today. No rain in sight, and the cool temps they were forecasting for Saturday and Sunday have now been upped a few degrees making them not so cool.
I hate summer.

Good wishes to DR Elmore concerning the potentially damaged communication. I think many of us have been in similar situations before, so I can certainly empathize with you.

I got no mail at all yesterday, so I'm certain the Blu-rays will come today so I can begin watching them.
In the meantime, I do have MURDER SHE SAID that I started last night to finish. In the original book, Miss Marple hires a family friend to become the maid and do the snooping. I much prefer Miss Marple being there snooping around. Gives it much more immediacy. And Rutherford's gave and take with James Robertson Justice is priceless.

The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic will perform next month in Second Life, the Internet-based virtual environment, in an effort to broaden its audiences.
Begun in 2003 by Linden Research, Inc. of San Francisco, Second Life is now inhabited by nearly nine million people who, through their online entities called avatars, engage in activities such as commerce, house building, sex and decorating. 100 audience members, chosen by lottery, will experience the performance in a simulated version of Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.
During the concert, virtual refreshments and restrooms will be available to Second Life listeners, who may socialize via instant messaging without disturbing the concert.
"People will be experiencing the watching of a performance within a group...and there will be an opportunity to discuss it: it's about creating a community," said Millicent Jones, the orchestra's executive director of marketing and communications, to The Guardian of London.

They were indeed, but don't tell DR FJL I said that cause I'm not letting him off that easy -- an ode or two in place of the flowers and chocolates he promised to fill my sublet room with? I don't think so... you know what I think? I bet those flowers are sitting in a lovely vase on his desk next to an open box of chocolates, now empty...That's what I think happened .....so he jots down a quick ode thinking that will appease me....

That's a Paul Muni story: he was once in a play in which the producer's girlfriend had a small part and she was untalented. Every day her part got bigger, good lines from others were given to her, and she was totally inept at everything she did. And the size of the role increased.
One day, during a break, she told Muni how much she admired him as an actor and could he give her any advice as a struggling actress? And he said, "Always remember, dear; you cannot fuck the audience."

I have to agree. A few weeks ago I watched again SCARED STIFF, which I'd loved as a kid. Give me Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard. Speaking of whom, the Region-2 DVD of their wonderful CAT AND THE CANARY is worthy of buying a non-regional player since I doubt this film will ever show up in the USA.

Twenty-one years together, I'm still finding out the details!
:o
And how times change. When we met you thought Denny's was fine dining and I did all the home cooking.
And...as if we don't have enough cooking books (what with Woody snagging everything in sight) now I'm starting to pop things in the shopping cart - added at Atlantic Books yesterday:
Tradewinds and Coconuts: Reminiscence & Recipes from the Pacific Islands (Favorite section so far: a discussion of Bats as cuisine..."the Chamorros cook the whole bat, fur and all, in coconut milk. The idea of easting soggy fur is daunting...)
Classic Asian Cook Book - I snagged it after seeing a picture of an Indonesian dish - Kalio Bebek - Duck pieces in rich coconut sauce. There is also a fascinating recipe for an Indian dish called Rogan Dosh - Lamb in rich chili sauce with yogurt.
I ended up with Sugar Pie and Jelly Roll: Sweets from a Southern Kitchen (in this case "Southern" means North Carolina). Recipes for Raspberry Summer Pudding, Apricot Bead pudding, etc. You gotta love a cook-book that regularly adds a tablespoon of bourbon to every other dish!
(I will, however, pass on their Christmas Orange Cake - made with a pound of orange-slice candies! Oh well, this is the land of Sweet Tea.) The Hot Fudge Sauce recipe looks like a classic - bittersweet chocolate, cocoa powder, coffee, cognac! Then there is something called Syllabub - sherry, brandy, lemon, heavy cream - served chilled in goblets (recipe from the 18th Century, it says).

Maybe one of the guys will have to head back to LA posthaste...?

It's swell! Since I saw you last, I've grown a third lung and a couple of new toes because of spores in the carpet... It's pretty hot.
Actually, according to our house manager, the Shuberts were supposed to have done "something" to the carpets yesterday while the theatre was dark. Whether they were ripping it up and replacing it or just shampooing it remains to be seen...

LA TIMES (http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-cats16aug16,0,6221636.story?coll=la-home-center)
Cat thyroid disease linked to chemicals
…
An epidemic of thyroid disease among pet cats could be caused by toxic flame retardants that are widely found in household dust and some pet food, government scientists reported Wednesday.
…
Cats that eat canned food containing whitefish, salmon and other seafood are exposed to PBDE levels up to 12 times higher than cats that eat dry food, and five times more than cats that eat poultry or beef canned foods, the study said. The chemicals build up in oceans and other water bodies and magnify in food chains.
However, much of the exposure -- for cats as well as people -- comes from dust, not food.
Cats, while sleeping, often come in direct and prolonged contact with upholstery, carpeting and mattress materials that contain flame retardants. In addition, they often sit on electronic equipment.
"Because of their meticulous grooming behavior, cats would effectively ingest any volatilized PBDEs or PBDE-laden dust that deposited on their fur during such activities," the scientists wrote.
(An ASSOCIATED PRESS (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,293439,00.html) link)
No problem cat-people: just keep your cats off of the rugs, furniture, beds, and electronic equipment!
Good Luck.

I'm now off to the luncheon for my friend Margo...I've printed out all of your wonderful vibes and will give them to her. I told her about them when we were driving back from Young Frankenstein and she was very touched by all your wonderful expressions of support for someone you've all never met. :)
-
I have a question which I'm hoping some DR can answer.
I found a bunch of foreign bills from when different family members have been on vacation.
I know most of them i can just bring to any foreign exchange center.
But i am wondering what i can do with certain currencies that are no longer used (for instance one bill is 50 francs). Would they still accept them at the foreign currency center. Would a bank take them? Are they now collectors items?
Any ideas would be helpful, thanks.
-
Wow DR JENNIFER....I thought money was money and didn't expire....but if the bills are not being minted anymore....I don't know.
-
I missed the live chat....
I am still remember-izing my lines for THE SUNSHINE BOYS....
-
Meeting and Bukowsical! vibes for DRS JASON & CASON....
Sounds like a comedy team....or a law firm....or a singing duo.
-
DR Jennifer - I'm not sure, but I think notes in the denominations replaced by the Euro are no longer legal currency and are therefore worthless.
-
Miss Karen - You know me too well, especially when it comes to my desk and flowers and chocolates.
-
DR ELMORE are you interested in RECENT Babes in Toyland publications?
It has illustrations by Victoria Lisi.
I own a copy. I don't like her illustrations.
I much prefer James Howe's retelling with one reservation: he bases his story on the copyright pre-production libretto and assumes this is what played on Broadway in 1903. He's unaware that Act Two was drastically rewritten before casting in March 1903 and his adaptation doesn't follow the Broadway storyline. I like his text and the illustrations immensely.

She's owed an ode.

Yes they are no longer legal currency. But i was just wondering if there was any place that would still take it.
I mean if you lived in france, well when they were switching to the euro there must have been some place to still bring the old money.
Just curious, thanks.
-
Original hardcover copy. Excellent book.
-
Paper reprint.

You're not so hot, you,
But I've got you
On my mind.

DH Richard and I have returned from our excursion with DN/DGD Lauren. We went first to the Vera Bradley store, where Lauren looked at many different items and then needed to think. We were seated right away at the Cheesecake Factory (no decision-making required there - HA). Back to the purse place, where her decision took place pretty quickly - she went for one big item and now I have many, many options for Christmas and birthday presents.
My last stop was Cheesecake Factory's take-out counter where I bought one slice each of:
Original
Dulce De Leche
Key Lime
Chocolate Tuxedo Cream
Chocolate Raspberry Truffle
Upon the manager's advice, I've put them in the freezer and soon I'll split each slice into 2 and arrange them artfully on a plate for the potluck dinner tonight.
-
Great, Ginny...
Sounds like the perfect solution! :)
-
With the size of Sherlock, three against one [even if one is freeze-dried!] might almost even be fair! :)
He would love a play date! :D We just came from the dog park & he is very good & sweet with dogs of all sizes. Have a mentioned lately what an amazingly good, sweet dog Sherlock is-lol.
Singdaw, I'm condolences to the family, very sad.
-
Here's a sentence I never thought I'd be saying:
DR elmore3003, I've got Babes on the brain! :P
-
Yup DR ELMORE...that's the one I got...but it was only $1.69....and worth about that, I guess.
Thoughts to the family of the young girl, DR SINGDAW....yes what can one say?
-
DR Jane: I'm sure he is! And thanks...
-
Always want to have the latest Sherlock Report....
-
Thunderstorm warnings....I have put in my contact lenses for the performance this evening.
-
Meeting vibes for DR Jason!
Continued unfairly out of work vibes for Margo!

Were there YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN photos posted last night from DR GEORGE?

DR JRand56, see post #35, page 2 today...

Thanks DR SINGDAW.

Wow! That looks like one damn B I G moosical!

After reading DR GINNY's post....you know one of those RICH librarians....I am hungry.

DR JRand56, meet DR Ron Pulliam.

BOY! That Randy Vicar (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/09/11/randy_vicar_exposed_by_emails/) really gets around! :P
-
DR Singdaw - my heartfelt condolences to your coworker. Sometimes there are no words.
-
Thanks, DRs Ginny and JRand 56!
-
A package from Oz!
Thank you, Tommy!
-
Good meeting outcomes for DRs Jason and Cason!
-
That was some pulpit smack down, DR SINGDAW.....as the headline and last paragraph of your linked story says:
Randy vicar exposed by emails
"You are a fornicating adulterer," yells cuckolded husband in church
It looks as though her ecclesiastical bonking is over though. When confronted in the church by Simon, the reverend ran out the church and hasn't been seen since. The church said it was investigating the situation. ®
-
My guess is that the Randy Vicar is still running. Wonder if they used a PC or an Apple?

DR Singdaw - my heartfelt condolences to your coworker. Sometimes there are no words.
DR Ginny is right, DR SingDaw. A parent's worst nightmare -- there are no words. Heartbreaking news.
-
Where did Francois go?! I was going to ask him what he thinks of Jerry -- the French love that guy.
-
It is as devilishly hot as they predicted. At least I don't have to work out in this sweltering heat.
-
I began my afternoon of viewing by watching the remainder of MURDER SHE SAID. Always terrific entertainment, and Margaret Rutherford was truly one of a kind.
-
Here's a sentence I never thought I'd be saying:
DR elmore3003, I've got Babes on the brain! :P
That's not true -- I bet you say it everyday as you think about all of us HHW babes. ;D
-
The two Blu-rays came in today (at last), so I watched THE LOOKOUT first. I watched the standard definition version of this about two weeks ago. The Blu-ray version is a definite step up in quality in terms of visuals, and the uncompressed audio soundtrack is more open sounding than the standard Dolby Digital on the regular DVD.
-
That's not true -- I bet you say it everyday as you think about all of us HHW babes. ;D
Actually, I have BRAIN on the brain!
-
All of the special features were the same apart from the previews on the disc. All of them were presented in high definition which made them look really outstanding. THE HOAX and THE INVISIBLE along with WILD HOGS were the three on the disc.
-
DR JRand56, see post #35, page 2 today...
DR DoSiDo ~ Wow, do you catalog all this stuff by category or something? ;)
-
Tonight, I do hope to finally get to CALIFORNICATION. I'll also have today's AS THE WORLD TURNS to scan through (the gay character was in yesterday's previews, so I assume he's on today.)

Matt when you watched WILD HOGS or HOG WILD, last week or the week before, where you using a reviewer's copy? I got in a fight the other day with my local video clerk who insisted that WILD HOGS only came out on 8/14/07. I didn't hit her, but we are scheduled to duel at dawn.

No. :-\ I only took a picture of the marquee, but I'm seriously thinking about just going up and getting pictures or autographs and not seeing the show. I don't know, though.

Miss Karen - You know me too well, especially when it comes to my desk and flowers and chocolates.
Yes, well, it was that week in Paris ... so even if you don't fill the sublet with flowers and chocolates, we'll always have Paris ... *sigh*

Missie Karen, you missed a great date in the chat room last night!
-
Where did Francois go?! I was going to ask him what he thinks of Jerry -- the French love that guy.
Ooooohh.... we've been there already on this site! What a cliché:" the French love Jerry"! (NOT that it is shameful to "love" him!) Ask any French person today and they won't know who Jerry Lewis is! I still don't know (myself!) why he is not that appreciated in the States; from where I am, he was a human version of Buggs Bunny and he was ... bugging! ;)

Yes, it was a review copy. It came out this past Tuesday. The Blu-ray of WILD HOGS is the other one I got today. These two Blu-rays were late arrivals.

Toshiba regrets there has been a delay in the processing of my claim. The supplier is sending additional stock. Every attempt will be made to ship my order by 09/15/2007.
Toshiba provided a pre-addressed/stamped card for me to use in the event that I wish to CANCEL my free HD DVDs.

Well, you won't believe it - our latest actor offer is renovating his NY apartment and therefore living on Long Island and doesn't care to commute. Actors. I remember a day...
I've got one more offer in me and then I have no idea where to go. I'm very frustrated by this situation, but I'm not the only one who's having this problem, according to my general manager.

I've found that bereaved peope often want to talk about their loved one. Friends are often reluctant to even use the name of the deceased and after a time it seemed to add to add to the loss - as the existence of the person and the memories have been denied expression.
About ten days after the funeral is when peope are most in need of an ear.
Sometimes it is good to be tactile!

We'll be back for another episode of Cason Point after this message.
-
I gotta tell you.
-
BK - Does it make you wonder why people audition if they know they're not going to accept the role if offered?
-
I did have a very nice conversation with the NYMF publicist (their overall publicist) about a certain post on All That Chat, where it seemed that the whole reason for doing NYMF shows was to have name actors - I found that a little off-putting, and not because I haven't cast my two leads yet, but because Barry Pearl is not chopped liver, and neither is Alet Taylor. And that post clearly came from someone who had access to an e-mail sent out to all NYMF shows with EXACTLY the same copy. So, we discussed that and other matters - I'm lucky in that this guy really likes me and my work, so that's going to help, I think.

I have a question which I'm hoping some DR can answer.
I found a bunch of foreign bills from when different family members have been on vacation.
I know most of them i can just bring to any foreign exchange center.
But i am wondering what i can do with certain currencies that are no longer used (for instance one bill is 50 francs). Would they still accept them at the foreign currency center. Would a bank take them? Are they now collectors items?
Any ideas would be helpful, thanks.
As another DR already mentioned, if it's a currency that has now been replaced by the Euro, it's now, technically, just (scrap) paper or metal.
Most banks - at least here in the States - require a minimum amount of currency in order for it to be exchanged for USD. *And when I got back from Australia, I could not find a place that took the coins.
If you do have a foreign currency center near you, just take it all in and see what they say. However, I have a feeling that you'll probably just end up with some paper to tape to your wall and some coins to put in a jar. -Or something like that.
And anything that is "rejected" you can take to a numismatist to get an opinion from them.

Has anyone heard from DakotaCelt? Not that it would solve the casting problem for Fred, but I am getting rather worried.

And how times change. When we met you thought Denny's was fine dining and I did all the home cooking.
And...as if we don't have enough cooking books (what with Woody snagging everything in sight) now I'm starting to pop things in the shopping cart - added at Atlantic Books yesterday:
Tradewinds and Coconuts: Reminiscence & Recipes from the Pacific Islands ...Classic Asian Cook Book ...I ended up with Sugar Pie and Jelly Roll: Sweets from a Southern Kitchen ...

Whoa, wait a second there! I'm the one who picked up both the Classic Asian Cook Book and Tradewinds and Coconuts. Plus The Olive and the Caper (on Greek cooking) and another on Asian Soups. And since I'm the one whose charge card was used on purchasing same, plus two books for yourself...
Just for that, no avgolemono for you! (At least, not for tonight :-*)

DRs DerBrucer and SWW - Do you have any of the cookbooks by Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid?
"Flatbreads and Flavors"
"The Seductions of Rice"
"Hot Sour Salty Sweet: A Journey Through Southeast Asia"
"Homebaking: The Artful Mix of Flour and Tradition Around the World"
"Mangoes and Curry Leaves: Culinary Travels Throughout the Great Subcontinent"
They are not only cooks, but also photographers, writers and world-travelers. Their cookbooks are not only filled with fascinating and delicious recipes, but also with pictures and stories from their travels. In fact, the last three books are almost "coffee table" quality.
And they have a really cool WEBSITE (http://www.hotsoursaltysweet.com/) too.

Hmmmm... Avgolemono soup. Are you using rice or orzo? (I hope you're using orzo.) ;)

Thanks for all the good vibes for my shoulder. I actually slept for about two hours this afternoon before I rolled over on my left shoulder. DAMN!

Jane - it was actually really easy to cast eighty percent of the show, and I couldn't be happier with said cast - it's just the husband and wife that's proved so difficult.
-
You know what is fascinating to me - given that Jerry Lewis was for many years one of the biggest money-making movie stars ever, that no one likes him or knows his films. When I was a kid, we HAD to see every Martin and Lewis and then Lewis film - they were events.

I think it has something to do with parenting. When I was growing up, my mother would have absolutely nothing to do with Lewis. She also deplored Sic Caesar. She didn't appreciate their kind of humor, and took pains to make sure I didn't know who they were. (I found out, of course, but never thought them important enough to use them for my rebelious stand against her tastes.)

DR Jennifer - I'm not.
I really had not read any spoilers to know who was supposed to be more popular. I figured lacey had to be popular (she'd never been in the bottom). And because of her brother. I was actually really surprised that she went first.
I really wanted danny to win with sabra second. And when it was the two of them left at the end, i really thought danny was going to win. I know it's a popularity contest (and not who is the best dancer). But i had no idea sabra was that popular. I really was shocked.I thought she would finish 4th.
-
DR Jane speaking of my niece. She just started sleeping in a big bed this week (well a mattress on the floor). And every night my sister finds her asleep in the middle of the floor.
I asked if she likes to play with her toys in the middle of the night and she said, "yeah!"
I would love to nanny cam her to see what she is actually doing.

DR Jane - here are the cheesecake flavors that made up my sampler:
Original
Dulce De Leche
Key Lime
Chocolate Tuxedo Cream
Chocolate Raspberry Truffle
There were 6 of us at the potluck and, of the 10 slices, I brought home:
1 Original
2 Dulce De Leche
1 Chocolate Tuxedo Cream
Richard has enjoyed the Original.
The book group ladies were quite pleased and used a lot of the whipped cream (in the center of the platter) in their coffee.
We watched part 2 of HBO's Elizabeth I, starring Helen Mirren, after having read Alison Weir's book, The Life of Elizabeth I.

Larry, I really enjoyed THE DUCHESS OF DUKE STREET. I believe it was on Masterpiece Theatre in the early years. (I didn't discover it until later.) It may be partly my bias, as I simply eat up stories about women who succeed despite difficult challenges. I prefer the emphasis on a single character, rather than the diversity in Up/Down. It, too, has a strong historical context. I highly recommend it.

DR JENNIFER and other DRs:
This doesn't answer the questions posed, but I used to wonder what to do with foreign money left over from a trip. I've since realized that I do sometimes get back to those places (!) and bringing a bit of that country's cash is quite convenient--something to use until you can get to the bank or one of those currency-exchange booths. So now I keep it.
I like Jane's post, too, about letting kids play with it.

I did watch today's episode of AS THE WORLD TURNS. One thing I realized from today's show is that the gay character Luke is not in the closet. His brother and his friends know he's gay, so that's a nice change from the usual set-up on soaps.
Of course, he was probably in the closet for over a year that he's been on the show, but it's nice to see that people talk to him openly knowledgeable about his sexual identity.

Well, we are 99.9% sure that "Bukowsical!" is going to be extended (possibly 3 shows - one on Sunday, two on Monday) - the Fringe people wanted to make sure the cast could do it, and additionally they just wanted to get their ducks in a row.
Nadia, one of our women, has to be back in LA for a big "Jersey Boys" audition on Monday, so she is not going to be able to do it - so Jennifer, our female understudy will get to step in there.
Matt, one of our guys, has been MIA all day. They called and texted and e-mailed him about the meeting, but they never heard from him - and upon further investigation, his roommates have also been looking for him all day. So, we'll see if he is/isn't dying in a gutter somewhere and if he is/isn't going to be able to do it.
Should he not be able to, obviously I'll go in for him in those last three shows - and even if he stays, they are going to give me one performance in place of Ian, one of our other guys. The only thing is we aren't sure which performance that might be.
So - that's the latest and greatest here at "Bukowsical!"

The hellish heat of August has return with a vengeance. It was 99 yesterday and is supposed to get to 101 today. No rain in sight, and the cool temps they were forecasting for Saturday and Sunday have now been upped a few degrees making them not so cool.

Supposedly her LA agent pulled a bunch of strings to get her in the audition there...and it is, in her words, "one of the biggest auditions of [her] life."
She wasn't at the meeting and they officially announced that Jennifer is in, so I have no idea - all we heard were the after-effects.

Hi, all...
The meeting went well. I will not be going out on tour with either A CHORUS LINE or THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, per my choice, though the big bosses were really hoping I'd go out on the road with DROWSY.
Still, I aired a lot of my grievances and concerns...expressed my displeasure at the idea of continuing to pick up double shifts on my one day off...told them I was sick of the moldy carpets and roaches at my theatre...and told them how I wished I could make commission more than once every four months. I can't really tell you how those concerns will be addressed and corrected, but at least they're off my chest and I still have a job here in New York.
And the big boss told me to take a day off. I think I'll do that very soon.
Thank you all for the good vibes. That meeting had me a little rattled before I went in, so that it went so smoothly was a huge relief for me.

Bukowsical's reviews have been split down the middle - Talkin' Broadway liked it (which, knowing their reviewer as I do, surpised me), some online site liked it, but I've never heard of them, but Time Out New York didn't care for it, and American Theatre Web was very mixed as well. Haven't seen any others. Still, an extension is nice and a nice vote of confidence.

I know both GH and OLTL have had an aids storyline.

After my meeting with the bosses, I treated myself to a loverly lunch at Macy's: a grilled chicken caesar salad and Diet Coke, followed by a small bag of the CaramelCrisp popcorn from Garrett's. I then bought myself some new socks and underwear. Size? SMALL!
Following my shopping spree, I went to my Weight Watcher's meeting, where I found out that I've lost another 2.2 lbs., which puts me into a weight category that I honestly can't remember ever being in, which makes me very happy.
During the meeting, one lady raised her hand and announced that she had to leave early, but before she left she wanted to say that she'd been glancing over at me throughout the meeting and wanted to let me know that she thought I looked "fierce" and that she couldn't believe how different I looked from when I started six months ago. That made me feel really good, if not a bit embarrassed.
To give you a visual of how much I've lost, here's a copy of my Weight Loss Progress Chart from the Weight Watcher's website:

Yeah - the creative was saying that tonight -- the only real problem any reviewers have had is the "concept." But in the end, reviews are reviews - and if you are selling tickets and people are enjoying it and you're making money - that's what is really the draw for longevity.

I agree...
I Had a Norwegian Wood (it is almost as large as the Maine Coon) that had it in for a guy I was dating at hte time... That was the only person he would literally attempt to attack. I was a perfect gentleman and loved kisses and being petted from everyone else.
Oddly maybe Spades sensed something about the guy that took me much later to realize. He was a creep and nearly knocked my head in one night when he flipped out on prescription drugs. I dropped him like a hot potatoe. This was a guy I dated in the late 1990s.

Following my shopping spree, I went to my Weight Watcher's meeting, where I found out that I've lost another 2.2 lbs., which puts me into a weight category that I honestly can't remember ever being in, which makes me very happy.
During the meeting, one lady raised her hand and announced that she had to leave early, but before she left she wanted to say that she'd been glancing over at me throughout the meeting and wanted to let me know that she thought I looked "fierce" and that she couldn't believe how different I looked from when I started six months ago. That made me feel really good, if not a bit embarrassed.
To give you a visual of how much I've lost, here's a copy of my Weight Loss Progress Chart from the Weight Watcher's website:

CONGRATULATIONS but the CaramelCrisp popcorn crap (Errr... junkfood!) was NOT necessary at all! ;)

Yeah - the creative was saying that tonight -- the only real problem any reviewers have had is the "concept." But in the end, reviews are reviews - and if you are selling tickets and people are enjoying it and you're making money - that's what is really the draw for longevity.
Not to say anything about your show in particular, but what you say is true...Look at
"The Perfect Crime" across the street from TKTS...It was HORRRIBLE, yet sells out everyday to the tourists and has been running for years.

It's not about necessary... We all need treats every now and then...even those of us who are watching our waistlines. :)
And caramel popcorn is a better choice than cake or pie, believe it or not...

DR Cason: DR Jose and I might get together for a motion picture event or some such diversion tomorrow if he gets out his auditions early enough in the afternoon... We'll give you a call, if you'd like...assuming you're free. I mean, you might have to run to New Jersey for a toothbrush or something. ;)
Have some monkeycake...!
We have our show at 3:00 tomorrow afternoon - but I should be all done around 5ish. Is that too late?

Tomorrow, the Compact Disc Celebrates Its 25th Anniversary (http://www.comcast.net/news/technology/index.jsp?cat=TECHNOLOGY&fn=/2007/08/16/741111.html). :)
Amazing.... That long ago already!

I believe it, I believe it! (I can't stand popcorn! The smell of it! The other day I had to change seat at the movies because of other guests munching on "smelly" popcorn! You had to know that!)
Well, I need treats;.. all the time, so I should know! ;)

The young woman who dressed Sherlock up as Sherlock Holmes has done it again. This time she included her massive Bernese Mountain Dog. He makes our big boy look very small. ;D
Cute picture!
-

Hmm...might be a bit late for a motion picture event, but that'd allow PLENTY of time for a motion dinner event. (There's not groaning allowed here at HHW...) I have to be at the theatre around 6:30, which is probably when DR Jose would want to be at his theatre to run through his keyboard book... That's assuming that DR Jose is out of auditions by 5:00, anyway...he's always causing trouble that way.
We'll give you a call...
-
By the by, I don't have your telephonic number, DR Cason. I'll send you mine should you wish to use it while you're in town. Once you go home, however, it must be erased from your phone and never used again, you understand. ;)
-
Jane, have you thought about Christmas cards/gift cards using one or more of these "photos"? They're really first-rate.
Jeanne, I agree, they are adoreable!
-
Cason's first show getting an extension. Your mom and I are so proud, er, I mean your family must be so proud.
Whew, almost got stuck paying for Cason's sublet if I hadn't fixed that before Miss Karen saw it.
-
I did watch today's episode of AS THE WORLD TURNS. One thing I realized from today's show is that the gay character Luke is not in the closet. His brother and his friends know he's gay, so that's a nice change from the usual set-up on soaps.
Of course, he was probably in the closet for over a year that he's been on the show, but it's nice to see that people talk to him openly knowledgeable about his sexual identity.
He was... The episode of the reveal was nicely done
-
Actors too busy to do a show? I don't get it either....
nor do i!
I have been reading some of the posts and i hope it all sorts itself out. If I was an actor, and the show had a great premise and plot I would be jumping all over it. THE BRAIN is excellent!
-

And if I do use it after that, the secretary will disavow all knowledge of my actions, right?
-
Great news about Bukowsical Cason!
-
What I don't get are actors who HAVE jobs - on BROADWAY, even - who don't show up to do their jobs! I can't tell you how many times a couple of cast members of Avenue Q have called out for seemingly no reason at all. One of our leads used to call out at LEAST twice a week.
I know 1,000 other actors who would LOVE to have their jobs - and would show up to do them, too!
-

Thank you, DakotaCelt! Nice to see you back!

Where's the love for DR's Jason and Cason? WE'D be there.
-

I'm sorry, Mr. Murphy...there is no Jason at this number. May I redirect your call? No, there has never been a Jason at this number...perhaps you misdialed?
This call will be terminated in three...two...one... Click

Still around, just trying to balance the teeter totter......
My emotions in the last week have ran the gamut and the tilt a whirl is an apt description.
I am trying to hold things together but it is tough. Conditions at work are deteriorating and I will be glad to be going back to night hours. I will at least have some of my work hours out of the sphere of poison.
My dad is holding his own but is now only really active for a few hours aday and is sleeping more and more. My mother is starting to have health issues....
The rest of my life is in just as big an uproar. DBF is moving to St. George, Utah in late December but I am stuck in Fargo due to some commitments I made a while back.
-
Yeah, DCelt it's great to have you back. DRs Jane and TCB were asking about you early in today's postings. They will be glad to see that you're back at HHW.
-
Thank you, DakotaCelt! Nice to see you back!
I will try and be around more...
This permitting if the tilt a whirl (aka my life at the moment) does not whirl out of control.
-
I am getting very worn and frazzled... I am almost on auto pilot
-
There'd be no calling out at the Jason and Cason Show. It'd be like Elaine Stritch calling out of At Liberty or Mandy Patinkin calling out of Mamaloshen. What would be the point?

Precisely. Now we just need to find the backers...

Good Lord, man...we could be standing at the brink of a whole new entertainment empire! Who wouldn't want to back us??
-
We could call the Jason and Cason show something like BRATTONY MURPHY.
Or maybe not.
-
Why thank you sir! I'm still just kind of waiting for the signatures on the dotted line before I believe anything.
I want to get excited and say "Ya-hooo!' -- but I don't want to jinx it -- so no comment until I get that call that you are walking out onto the stage to perform...
Are they extending the spending money per day, too? I'm having some issues collecting child support from DR FJL...
-
Jason and Cason in:
MUMMENBRATTZ
-
fingers crossed...
-
Cason and Jason in:
MURPHYSHANTZ

They are indeed -- so don't worry, Daddy won't have to worry about me knocking at the door until next week.
-
Interesting title!
-
My God, the possible titles!
-
I've watched an episode of McCloud - was that show ever good?
-
My God, the possible titles!
The mind boggles...

We haven't heard from DR Danise since August 4!
She might have flown the coup with Meatloaf!
-
And one for Danise!
-
I put no stock in reviews, good, bad, or ugly.
-
I'm tiiiired.

Listening to a soundtrack CD that I've been playing non-stop since I got it four days ago - it's a privately made affair of an unreleased John Williams score that is quite addictive.

Will we never get to page eighteen?
-
Will page eighteen never get to we?

The child support is on its way. Of course, since it happened in Paris in the 1980's, the child support will be paid in worthless, I mean priceless French francs. They even have the authentic pictures of the Chumps Elysees and Notre Dump on them.
-
We've added the lovely Misty Cotton to our fundraiser show.
-
Great news on the addition to the fundraiser bk!
-
Misty is a cutie pie.
-
I think we have all our ensemble gals for the fundraiser, but only one ensemble boy, and that is our very own Mr. Murphy.
-
And he will be performing in a very skimpy outfit with Mr. Vilanch.
-
now that should be a sight....
-
I visited with Mr. Vilanch in his dressing room during his run in HAIRSPRAY on Broadway. He was only covered by a towel across his nether-regions. And this was before he did "Celebrity Fit Club." Oy and vey! That was NOT how I expected to meet him...
-
When do you return to the City of York New?
-
I know I have some posts to catch up on, did all the monies needed for the fundraisers come through?

Talk to me on Saturday.

Memories light the corners of Paree
Misty Cotton-candy memories of the way we ___
Scattered pictures of the flowers kept by me
And the chocolate mousse half-eaten
From the way we ___
Canapes were really oh so simple then
Or has Tom rewritten ev'ry line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Would we Sharon,
I mean, Karen
Paris was so beautiful and yet
I'm too cheap to pay the sublet
So i choose to forget
So it's the cheapness
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we _____

Dowe, Cheatem, an How
-
I'm a good lawyer, Miss Karen. We'll sue the S.O.B. until he bleeds that money - oh, wait a second.
-
or we could get a fast law degree in the caribbean...

oooh, French bills that never existed!
You sure need a "good" lawyer!
(Notre Dump?! This is not Catholically Correct! ;)
-
we can get Dowe, Cheatem and How on theback of the Capn Crunch box...
-
Hey Jason --
Any other places than the Eugene O'Neill to get a Spring Awakening poster?
Heather is quite fond of the show - and I was thinking about getting a poster and hanging around the stage door one night and seeing if I could get some autographs...
-
We haven't heard from DR Danise since August 4!
She might have flown the coup with Meatloaf!
And what happened to DR 3-D?
-
I was wondering the same thing...
-
Today's title describes my life as of late
-
DCelt ~ The HHWer message sending people kicked back my message: "the box wasn't accepting any more messages" -- "try again later"
-
DRs Cason and FJL ~ What are you guys doing up so late -- like father like son?
-
try again...
-
I'm not even on NYC time, and I'm sleepy. So good night all you Night Owls ...
-
Today's title describes my life as of late
Well, hopefully things will settle for you. :( Sorry to hear you've been having a rough go of things here lately.
-
Don't worry, Kar - I assume I can call you Kar after all that I'm denying we've been thorugh. Because I care so much, I've ensconced myself here on 43rd between 9th and 10th where I can keep an eye on little Case.
-
nn miss karen!
-
I suspect Case will be well supervised and kept on the straight and narrow....
-
Jose just said oh, darn.
-
FJL is such a charming and upstanding fellow!
-
Thanks Cason...
-
Vibes for dakota

Or Sharon, or Shar ...
-
This time I mean it .. Nighty-night!
-
Good night, Miss Karen. I'll never forget the first time I said that - love was in full flower, and you were wearing an ode de cologne by Cocoa Chanel.
-
I mean, oif course, the first time I didn't say that - close call!
-
you were wearing an ode de cologne by Cocoa Chanel.
That is why you are so fond of chocolate to this day...
it reminds you of Paris .. of me ... of little Case (Cocoa is his middle name..)...
-
Well, we are 99.9% sure that "Bukowsical!" is going to be extended (possibly 3 shows - one on Sunday, two on Monday) - the Fringe people wanted to make sure the cast could do it, and additionally they just wanted to get their ducks in a row.
Nadia, one of our women, has to be back in LA for a big "Jersey Boys" audition on Monday, so she is not going to be able to do it - so Jennifer, our female understudy will get to step in there.
Matt, one of our guys, has been MIA all day. They called and texted and e-mailed him about the meeting, but they never heard from him - and upon further investigation, his roommates have also been looking for him all day. So, we'll see if he is/isn't dying in a gutter somewhere and if he is/isn't going to be able to do it.
Should he not be able to, obviously I'll go in for him in those last three shows - and even if he stays, they are going to give me one performance in place of Ian, one of our other guys. The only thing is we aren't sure which performance that might be.
So - that's the latest and greatest here at "Bukowsical!"
Congratulations, Cason!

Actually, you can get the SPRING AWAKENING windowcards at almost any of the souvenir shops, I would think. Triton Gallery in the Film Center building on 9th Avenue (between 44th & 45th) is THE place to get theatre windowcards if you're in the know (and they charge the same price as we do at the theatre). However...a friend of mine works PR for that show. I could ask him to get the cast to sign a windowcard for you - possibly for free. If he can't arrange it, I could at the very least arrange to get you a poster for $10, seeing how the company I work for also does the merch for SPRING AWAKENING. How soon would you need it?
-
I just sent a MySpace message to my friend about the SPRING AWAKENING windowcard. I'll let you know his response when he gets back to me. :)
