Yes, you can do that and we'll ship the two together, no problem.

Thanks!! I'll do it now!

I shall shortly be on my way to rehearsal. Order away, because I may take the post with the info down when I get home (I really don't want this to leak until I write up a proper press release - this is just for you lovely and loyal people out there in the dark).

Actually, Wednesday is the "Ask BK Day" and Friday is "Media Check Day," in which we all post what we're listening to on CD/talking book, watching on DVD/DVR/VHS, etc.

I stand corrected.

Well...

The Polticos urged Barak Obama to sidestrp the "rae issue"

He decided, instead, to confront it head on.

His speech in Philadelphia hit the ball squarely out of the park.

"Reasonable" people will be assuaged/convinced - and for the others there is no hope.

"Issues" aside, if your want a new leader for the 21st Century this is the man.

AARRGGHH!! I just bonked my watch against a counter and the crystal shattered!

I hate it when that happens. Now I have a crystal-less watch. I need to get it replaced and soon!

Matthew, this is from a site on British slang:

Cor - You'll often hear a Brit say "cor"! It is another one of those expressions of surprise that we seem to have so many of. It will sometimes be lengthened to "cor blimey" or "cor love a duck", depending on where you are. "Cor blimey" is a variation of "Gawd Blimey" or "Gor Blimey". They are all a corruption of the oath "God Blind Me

So, if I read this correctly, everytime I use the word "Blimey", I am asking God to blind me?

Bretty, when you log onto the site, you're "supposed" to read BK's notes for the day first. That lets us all in on what is goiing on in his life (which can be plenty), and generally gives a reason, or at least an excuse, for the TOD. The TOD itself is chosen by our esteemed BK, except for Thursdays, which is "Ask BK Day," when we DRs ask BK (and each other) a question, and Sundays, which is sort of a free for all day.

If you are having trouble finding BK's Notes, go to the upper part of this screen, find where it says "Today's Column" right under the main logo, and click.

That is what I have been doing wrong! All this time I have been asking BK questions on Wednesday, and now I find out that Ask BK Day is Thursday!

BK, I am very happy that your news turned out good!

I, however, have never heard of this Evening Primrose show.

MBarnum · « **Reply #258 on:** March 18, 2008, 04:04:17 PM »

Looking at everyone's lists of favorite 80s movies, I am suprised at how many of them I have actually seen! Still, none that I liked much.

Ah, I see - I forgot when it's not through Kritzerland's site, the notifications go to a different e-mail address. Now I'm happy, although I probably will remove the post later tonight.

Congratulations, BK! Indeed that is a coup!

Oh, gee, that is a terrible turn of events.

I don't know Evening Primrose. I know it was a TV production, but nothing else. I run hot and cold with Sondheim. I have loved Sweeney Todd for eons, all but wearing out the LPs of the OCR I had in college. "Not a Day Goes By" from Merrily We Roll Along and "What Can You Lose?" from Dick Tracy are huge favorites of mine. Sunday in the Park is so innovative and interesting. Anyone Can Whistle and Company have some amazing material, but also some songs I feel are mediocre. And although theater people love it, I always thought Follies was a boring monstrosity. Sacrilege, I know. Into the Woods was a letdown too (am I the only person who thought "No One is Alone" was a ripoff of "The Candy Man"?). Someday I hope to find time to drill Bounce into my brain, but I figure it's probably his last full score, and I guess I've been saving it.

Unsung Sondheim is one of my favorite CDs, and I do genuinely look forward to hearing Primrose.

Good Evening!

Well, once I got back to my apartment after my auditions, I sat down in the big, comfy chair in the living room to check my e-mail... And then fell asleep for at least an hour... Hmm...

Just sayin'...

I, too, am a bit confused by the quoting, as well as the post-script nature of your(?) comments.
