Well, you've read the notes, the notes had new glasses, and now it is time for you to post until the new glasses-wearing cows come home.

And the word of the day is: GALORE!

Good.mornimg, friends.
-
I have not yet adjusted to the time change.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I did not sleep well.
-
I spoke to Doug last night. We will stay with Act One another day, going through our various corrections sheets to insure we got everything fixed in the parts into the full score.
-
I think Chris Durang had a great time recording "Ninas" for BK. Whenever I used to see him, he would ask if BK were going to follow up Peter Pan and Cincerella with an Alice in Wonderland; he wanted to be the White Rabbit.
-
In 1988, we had a wonderful employee at the Drama Book Shop, Spencer Cox, who left us after a year to go back to Bennington. His favorite playwright was Chris Durang. On the morning of Spencer's last day, I called Chris and asked him if he would mind coming into the shop and signing a couple of his play collections. Chris did, I introduced him to Spencer, which made his day. I then purchased the books Chris had signed and gave them to spencer at the end of the day.

Good morning, all.
-
I was just trying to bring back whatever last night’s dream was, but I think it was of no consequence.
-
Whereas the absolutely bonkers one from the night before is still vivid.
-
DR Elmore, are the full score and parts not linked, so that he only has to make the changes in one place?
(Listen to me, going on like I know what the HELL I’m talking about. Give me a little knowledge and I am dangerous, man.)
-
Weird nights sleep due to rain and wind. Windows were rattling
-
Gonna Wordle and get going
-
Yesterday was rather hideous, what with the furnace, the crappy weather and approaching storm, and what not. I’m really hoping for a good productive - and quiet - day.
Vixmom, the wind here was really strong late last night.

I‘ll give ADAPTATION a shoutout.
I haven’t seen nearly enough Cage films to make a decent list, but I always enjoy seeing him and I do want to see this latest.
-
I forget what it was called, but the one where his character could see a short time into the future was kind of interesting

Last week I tried watching Dream Scenario, but the library copy didn’t play after the first 20 minutes and I wasn’t interested enough to look for another copy.

TOD:
In addition to the movies already mentioned:
Face/Off
Peggy Sue Got Married
Pig
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call, New Orleans
The Cotton Club
-
Two!

Eyeglass vibes for MR BK.
-
Foot vibes for DR RON PULLIAM.

TOD:
Without question, what is in fact one of my favorite performances by anyone ever is Cage in Vampire’s Kiss. It was sort of a life-changing experience for me. I went back and saw it at the Tara theater in Atlanta four times and have home viewed it many times since. It was Cage at his most bonkers and committed, but at the time all anyone wanted to talk about was him eating a cockroach in a scene. I don’t think he’s ever managed the same weird energy, though he’s tried. I’d have watched him in anything for a few years there.
Totally different weird energy in Peggy Sue, which I love as well, but his leading lady understandably loathed.
-
Nice story DR ELMORE.
I've worked on a couple of Durang plays and was in a production of The Marriage of Bette & Boo which was a lot of fun.
I was also in a production of Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You.
-

(Listen to me, going on like I know what the HELL I’m talking about. Give me a little knowledge and I am dangerous, man.)
As far as I know, they're linked. I cannot imagine Doug would make things harder. Act One is now officially finished.
-
DR elmore3003, does Annabelle have Carmen Miranda aspirations?
-
Regarding Meadowlark, the 1990 London recording doesn't use the orchestral intro. Since it's a cast recording, Sharon Lee Hill includes the "What does he think I am?" intro that I've only heard on cast recordings. But the first verse is slow, similar to what's on Egan's recording and different from what's on LuPone's and Callaway's recordings.
-
I went on a Meadowlark deep dive yesterday after reading the notes and seeing the forum posts.
-
From DR George:
Does your tablet have a separate flash drive for extra storage? One of my tablets has 64GB of internal memory, but I can add a microSD card for up to 400GB extra memory.
LOL, I have no idea. It is something to look into if I can't reduce the storage after reducing the apps. I just don't want to sit that long at my computer researching how to do it. I'm sure Keith can help me.
-
I never heard of Messenger Lite before.
-
DR Vixmom I received the same suggestion when I got my last pair of glasses. I never heard that before.
-
Off to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned. I hope I can sit ok in the chair. I'm taking bubble things from packages to elevate my leg off of the chair.

TOD:
Nicolas Cage has always been hit or miss for me.
Among his hits (in which I really liked him) are
Valley Girl
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Birdy
The Boy in Blue
Raising Arizona
Moonstruck
Guarding Tess
It Could Happen to You
City of Angels
Family Man
Knowing
Loved the film, but not so much Cage:
Peggy Sue Got Married
-
Another Thursday! Yikes!
Had a nice lunch from The Triangle (Don't be Square, Eat at The Triangle). Thursday is cubed steak day and I had rice and grave, plus corn, with my meal. Yum.
Much to do.
-
The play DR RODZINSKI was talking about was one of six Durang plays put together to make Durang, Durang......
Some of them are very funny parodies of famous plays.....
https://www.christopherdurang.com/durang-durang
-
I had lunch with my friend Jerry and he ALSO is having trouble with his new glasses......it must be an epidemic.
-
I'm up, I'm up - almost nine hours of needed sleep.
-
Package has been delivered, so I'll go retrieve that now, then think about food.
-
One of the reasons I haven't been able to stick to the diet before is because during the first week, I always feel like I'm gaining, not losing weight and it's frustrating. I'm at that point now, but I'm not stopping.
-
I shall stay on the road until I've lost at least twenty-five pounds, and then I'll lose another twenty-five.
-
;)
-
How did we get stuck on page 2?
-
Maybe before BK starts saying "I do not care for page 2"
-
We should try to find page 3
-
Page 3 must be here somewhere
-
Page 3!
-
Staying on the road vibes for Bruce!
-
Back from picking up the softcover. All we need is the hardcover and I can order books.

DR JANE how did your dental appt. go?
-
I’m about to leave to see a preview of HABEAS CORPUS by Alan Bennett which doesn’t open till next week but a friend is directing and this will be my only good chance to see it.
-
Enjoy the play, Chas!
-
DR JANE how did your dental appt. go?
Fine thank you though my teeth are now extra sensitive.
-
My gum check was good.
-
We then went to Costco in Portland, stopping at the Salvation Army to drop off a bag full of nice clothes.
-
It is rather convenient to stop as it is a few blocks before we turn at the street for Costco.
-
DR George, I resheared, looked at videos, and looked at the little phamplet that came with my tablet. They all show where the slip for a Micro SD should be, except I don't have one.
-
Bryan gifted me my tablet a few years ago and, at the time, felt the European has something superior about it. I don't know if whatever that was worth the inconvenience of having an easy, too easy, key to tap to change the keyboard to Spanish.
-
It is my guess that is also the reason I don't have the ability to add the micro SD.
-
I just watched the Cassavetes movie Opening Night in preparation for seeing the show next week and am sure glad I did. My immediate reaction is "They've made a musical out of that?" But I guess it's no more unusual than the average concept behind a Sondheim show. It will be very interesting to see it on stage, though I am starting to wonder what I've gotten myself into.
-
DR JANE how did your dental appt. go?

Were you able to sit comfortably with the stitches?
-
Page THREE? Really?
-
Had a Chinese chicken salad for food - very good. Making an artichoke now.
-
And that will be it for the day.
-
It has stopped raining!!
-
Finally!
-
I am feeling exhausted. I kept waking up last night with the windows rattling and the rain and the howling winds
-

Because the chair reclines I was able to stay off the stitches by bending my knee :)
-

Yay!
-
It also appears one of our fences has been reduced to a pile of slats
-
I haven’t eaten dinner yet
-
So I think I shall do that then go to bed
-
I am feeling exhausted. I kept asking up last night with the windows rattling and the rain and the howling winds
I remember storms that kept me up all night. In our first Michigan home one side of our bedroom was glass windows, plus it had a large skylight.
-
One stormy night it was just Craig and me in the house. I couldn't take the noise anymore and went into Craig's room, woke him up and told him to move over. He was still young enough to think that was great fun.
-
Keith removed a ton of apps from my tablet. I was confused as to why these apps were there in the first place. He had put them on his Samsung tablet and apparently they were shared with mine. Fine for him since he has loads of storage space while my smaller, older tablet doesn't have all that much.
-
Now my tablet is good for awhile :)
-
He did complain about the speed on my tablet and said I need a new one.
-
Once again I searched 8" tablets and once again will likely stay with what I have.
-
'night

My initial thought too.

Gratuitous post 99!
-
Back from dance class.
-
My body is tired.
-
I almost can’t believe the weekend is upon us.
-
I hope I have some free time tomorrow.
-
But I doubt it.
-
I hope I can do a little gardening.
-
And listen to my book, Bitter Crop, which is about Billie Holiday’s last year. It’s well written, mch like the recent Ella Fitzgerald bio.
-
Except the narrator mispronounced Clare Boothe Luce’s last name. She said “looch.” I have always heard “loose”
-
Small matter.
-
Still it’s a post.
-
Here a post.
-
There a post.
-
Everywhere a post, post, post.
-
We will get to page five.
-
By hook or by Nicolas Cage.
-
Interesting that no one mentioned his Oscar-winning turn in Leaving Las Vegas.
-
Geez, but that was a depressing flick.
-
But I digress.
-
I would rather progress
-
To the next page.
-
Five!

Ahh.

We started our final rehearsal at 7:30 and it's been going well.
-
They have the bios rotating on the TV monitors in the lobby.
-
Here's mine! :)
-
And here's a moment from the show:
-
Here's mine! :)
Nice.
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Now, let's get with the damn program.
-
Whatever that is.
-
Some program or other.
-
It's a very long way to page six.
-
A VERY long way.
-
Here's mine! :)
Nice.
Thanks, John!
-
I wrote it myself. ;)
-
The show went quite well.
-
We had a small but appreciative audience.
-
They were ushers, so that they'll know what to expect, but this is such a simple show, I don't know how there could be any issue.
-
With the intermission, I think it'll be right around 2 hours, once we get a real audience.
-
Tonight, it was about 2 hours and 5 minutes, so that will tighten up easily.
-
Here's mine! :)
Are all those companies in the Olympia area? Quite a theater scene there!
-
There really weren't any major fumfers, but there were a few.
-
Ginger, who is the director's (adult) daughter, is the ASM and she's been taking line notes over the last couple of days.
-
Here's mine! :)

They were...The Abbey Players and Capital Playhouse are no more. :-\
-
They were...The Abbey Players and Capital Playhouse are no more. :-\
Ah well. Covid casualties?
-
They were...The Abbey Players and Capital Playhouse are no more. :-\
Ah well. Covid casualties?
No. The Abbey Players folded in probably 2004 or 2005, and Capital Playhouse went under about 10 years ago.
-
Capital Playhouse had financial troubles and the board had to fire the guy who founded the group. ::) They lasted a year or two after that, but then it just wasn't able for the organization to continue at all.
-
The Abbey Players had a long-time president that when something needed to be done, he just did it (or most often, paid for it).
-
Page five.
-
Amazing.
-
Page six. Amazing.
-
Then he had a heart attach or stroke (I don't remember which) and had to step down, and no one else was able to fill all the shoes that he wore and they just petered out.
-
Funny, dear reader George, I didn't see your finest credit in your bio and I'm sure you know what that is.
-
I did not see it.
-
It was not there.
-
It was absent.
-
Gone with the wind.
-
Non-existent.
-
And speaking of theater, tomorrow night is the opening night for Incorruptible!
-
I did look.
-
But I did not see it.
-
I'm quite hungry right now but I shall no succumb, oh, no, I will not succumb.
-
Not even an apple.
-
Not even a single strawberry.
-
Perhaps after George's show opens he can finish a book.
-
I went to Panda Express for my pre-show late lunch, and still have the chow mein noodles.
-
And of course, we wish him a happy opening and broken legs.
-
I plan to eat my chow mein noodles the next time I want to eat something. :)
-
What's the difference between chow mien noodles and what they usually have???
-
And of course, we wish him a happy opening and broken legs.
Thanks, BK!
-
I want some damn chow mien noodles, whatever they are.
-
Not on my diet, I'm afraid.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.

I wrote them.

Chow mein is what they usually have.

Toi toi toi! But whatever you do, do not watch the movie Opening Night before your actual opening night!
-
This Bach Mass in B-minor does go on forever. Over ninety minutes.
-
That's a mass of Mass.
-
And speaking of theater, tomorrow night is the opening night for Incorruptible!

I've seen it. ::)

My back and neck are killing me. I'm about to kill them right back.

Here's a picture of Panda Express' Chow mein:

Posted another track on Facebook earlier - one of my favorite put-togethers, with a sublime Marin Mazzie vocal.
-
Yes, I've had that many times.
-
I do a helping of that and a helping of white rice - not on my diet.
-
When I'm at the point when I earn one splurge day a week, I can do that.
-
I do a helping of that and a helping of white rice - not on my diet.
It's been a while since I've gotten half rice and half chow mein.
-
I like their orange chicken and string bean chicken. I suppose the string bean chicken is on my diet. I suppose I could just get that and orange chicken a la carte.
-
Some Chinese food is allowed.
-
Like Kung Pao chicken. Any chicken dish really, but preferably not fried. Shrimp, too. I no longer eat beef in Chinese restauarnts. At Genghis Cohen I could have the fish in ginger sauce - that would be extremely low in calories. If salmon wasn't so damn expensive these days I'd do that.
-
Now I want Chinese food.
-
Sans rice, sans noodles.
-
Oh well - can't keep talking about food or I'll fold and order ten things from Taco Bell.
-
Must not do it.
-

Kung Pao Chicken is one of my favorites.
-
Must be strong.
-
Another favorite was Black Pepper chicken, but they don't have that at the local stores anymore. :P
-
Yes, I had the black pepper chicken. Not sure if they still have that here.
-
Now I want Chinese food.
Chinese food in bed?? ;)
-
I know they add things every now and then.
-
I used to eat Chinese food in bed, when there was someone in bed with me. That has not been the case for a VERY long time. Damn them, damn them all to HELL.
-
Now I only sing the song.
-
I am a singer of songs.
-
I know they add things every now and then.
I get that, but why did they have to get rid of one of MY favorites??
-
Which is better than being a singer of Raisin Bran.
-

I don't think I've ever eaten any food while in bed with someone.
-
They got rid of it because you didn't list The Brain from Planet X in your bio. The time is nigh.
-
Speaking of nigh time, our resident theater critic has retired.

Raisins are referenced in a funny line in Incorruptible. ;)
