I don't think there have been any responses to Jed's question about "Children Of Eden". Maybe no-one has seen a production of it. One of our non professional Melbourne groups hopes to mount a production in April 2004. I have seen productions of "The Baker's Wife", "Rags" , "Working" and of course "Magic Show", "Pippin" and "Godspell". perhaps we should all try to get to Washington this coming year to see "Children Of Eden".
Quote from TomovozQuoteperhaps we should all try to get to Washington this coming year to see "Children Of Eden".No thanks. I don't like the show.
DR Michael, your Alan Bates picture not only turned the forum into a Cinemascope extravaganza, but it made it endless to load for those of us with dial-up connections.
I am sorry about Alan Bates. He was a marvelous actor (loved him in AN UNMARRIED WOMAN) and, of course, for the nude wrestling scene in WOMEN IN LOVE, he should have been made immortal.
So what is everyone doing today?
DRJANE Bonanza is still a favorite of mine. And the Hallmark Channel has The Big Valley, Rawhide, High Chapparal, AND The Virginian episodes every Saturday!
Checked the College Bowl archives, and my alma mater was never on the show. I did notice, however, that Andrea and Emily's school got whomped but good by Oklahoma.
So sorry to hear about Alan Bates. I loved him on screen and saw him many times on stage in Canada. He was a splendid RICHARD III in a Stratford, Ontario production directed by my cousin, John Hirsch.
DR Jennifer: Chocolate. And if it's a man causing you to cry, wash him outa your hair. However, if it's a loved one you are worried about, then we'll all send our HHW vibes.
Emily - Thanks for the history lesson, but this "College Bowl" of which we speak (in spite of my excessive football viewing habits) was an academic quiz show. I captained our team in a similar show called "Apple Bowl" on a local PBS affiliate for 3 years in high school. Finished in the top 3 each year, but never did win the blasted thing!
Jennifer...don't cry, eat your Peanut Butter M&Ms, that will make the world right!
Jennifer: In my experience Chocolate, Tea & HHW helps us get through most things. Keep smiling when you can. (I think peanut butter anything would make me cry!). And don't listen to any M & M!
DR Jennifer-- if it is a man, the best cure is always another man! Just give me the name and number and I'll get the estonian mafia on it, right away!
DR Jennifer: Chocolate. And if it's a man causing you to cry, wash him outa your hair. However, if it's a loved one you are worried about, then we'll all send our HHW vibes.
What am I doing today? I'm afraid if I posted about my day, the energy from all the excitement would simply overwhelm and shut down the internet as we know it.
DR Jed-- I also like your new "artistic / enhanced" photo that you have...........It comes off looking a little like an oompah loompah with purple legs. ;)LOL!!!!!! Thanks, I needed that. On a related note, we found that movie on TV on Christmas day, ended up watching most of it. And to DR Jed, we found it right at the beginning of I Want It Now...I had to smile :)
Jennifer, just from what you are saying today, it sounds as if you need to find a way to give this guy up. If I can be of any help, please feel free to email me.
DR Andrea: I don't think McGill has a quiz club. I think that is what DR Jed was saying. DR Emily was talking about one thing when she said McGill invented college bowl. But Jed was talking about an academic quiz when he said college bowl.
One such friend is the mother of someone who, as it turns out, went to school with me -
Maybe I will access the Internet via the sattelite, if such things are possible.
...We have a satellite internet connection since we cannot get DSL or cable here. It beats dial up but tends to be quirky.Quirky should suit us here quite well!
DR Jay -- please try to work on getting a scanned picture of Roller and Blackjack so we can all see them. I know....nag, nag, nag,....
Good morning!
I, too, will be venturing into Eden this spring. I'll be the assistant music director/conductor for the upcoming production at Ford's Theatre in DC. We start mid-March and run until mid-June. Nice long run. And I love working at Ford's not only for the sense of history that surrounds you, but also for the backstage "family" there - great staff, always welcoming.
Jennifer: In my experience Chocolate, Tea & HHW helps us get through most things. Keep smiling when you can. (I think peanut butter anything would make me cry!). And don't listen to any M & M!
Fear not, Ozzie, vegamite M&Ms are due out soon!
If Lincoln had gone to Ford's Theatre to see Children of Eden, I guarantee that he would have shot himself.
Well, our restaurant is closing down for reconstruction following New Year's Eve, so today I'm starting the efforts of reconstructing, resurrecting, redesigning and otherwise adding a TRADING SPACES/WHILE YOU WERE OUT kind of improvement to my digs.
Oh, yes, there will be curtained walls, possibly plywood ceilings, more carpeting (and less, far less CLUTTER).
I'm going for a lupine theme, with tons of wolf posters, cards and photographs adorning the wall space.
My cousin found some discounted fabric at WalMart yesterday which is a rich brown with wolves on it, which shall be used for the walls of curtain. . .
Once I get the clutter of the outer-office cleared, I shall scan a few of my wolf calender photos and start making home-made posters of the best shots. . .
.
That photographer is a Hainsie/Kimlet. The bundt cake was rather delicious as I recall. That signing was for the first book. For the second book there was no bundt cake but we did have a chocolate Parisienne cake.In fact, that photographer is also the mate of a Hainsie/Kimlet! (I've got to pester him about getting the newest pics of Buster and Bonnie up for everyone to enjoy. They're GROWING!)
DRSonJay -- Such a good boy to listen to me !!
Yes, you really will be glad to have nice pics of Roller and Blackjack, later on someday. And we will all enjoy seeing them now.
When you get your prints back (I'm assuming you'll use a film camera) just take the ones you like to a Kinko's. They will scan them for you for a reasonable price, and give the jpeg files back to you on either a floppy disc or a CD-ROM. Tell them that you want the finished picture size to be only about 2 1/2 by 3 1/3 inches, and under 200K in file size.
Then you can just transfer them to your desktop, and attach away.
I had a wonderful picture of Mazal in a pretty frame, and I was able to keep it and a candle out on the living room table for a week for her shiva. It gave me a melancholy but very warm feeling each time I passed it or sat down by it for a minute.
No more information re LOTR ROTK please George. I want to know nothing more before I get to see it.
TCB: how goes the new play rehearsal? Do you get be a victim or a witness or ?
DR George: Where is Casa Mia?
Oh, I am afraid I can't tell you that, Ozzie. It's top secret. If I told you, I would have to kill you.In other words, he's the defendant.
The three that I know of are in Yelm (right next to the Yelm Cinemas, where we saw LOTR: TROTK); in Lacey, right across the street from the Lacey Cinemas on Martin Way; and in Olympia on Plum Street. I'd never been to the Yelm Casa Mia before...but the food was as good as the other restaurants (it is a chain, after all) and the service wasn't too bad, either.
By the way, I signed up for classes the other day. I signed up for a history class with the Australian lady who says, "hee-uh" in each sentence. I don't particularly like history and I don't need the credits. I just think it's funny to count the hee-uhs.
