Moral of the story is...don't wash those soft, thick chenille bathroom rugs in the washing machine...they really gum up the works.

Is it the chenille, or the rubberized backing that makes them slip-proof?

Huzzah! I started a new page.

And I just got my car out of my local garage...where they did only 3/4ths of what I hoped they'd do.

I got the essentials, but they said I'll need new brakes and a new timing belt in the next couple of months. I was very specific about replacing brakes and belts if they looked worn enough to be replaced in next few months.

I took the day off in order to get preventive maintenance done...told them to replace everything that needs replacing or will need replacing in near future.

The mechanic said he didn't want my bill to be too high.

I thanked him for that...and for the call to AAA I'd have to make when the timing belt goes south on me on a freeway in the next few weeks.

sigh.

Sunset Boulevard

What do you get when you strip away all those top heavy sets and gimmicks?
You get an opportunity for a great performances. Judi Connelli is without doubt the best Norma I have seen or heard.
David Campbell is wonderful on stage. He has presence and retains his own voice. He is not at all interchangeable with all those "leading men" out there. He makes the role of Joe his own. Last year I saw his Billy Bigalow and was somewhat apprehensive about him tackling that one. He added a new vulnerability to Billy and was totally convincing. As Joe he also had the ability to show some other aspects of what I've always found to be an unlikeable and opportunistic character.

Ms Connelli is a treasure. Absolutely the right voice for the role and the acting talent to go with it. Standing ovations for the stars. and that is not really usual here.

There was another problem with the stripping away of the majestic sets with which we were familiar. Focus is on the music!! There is just so much repetition. Is this ALW's worst show for this. You just keep thinking "on not that theme again".
Lyrics - how any time do we really need to hear someone say "new ways to dream" and "surrender". Now I know why I don't play the Cast recordings!

At least I can say I saw some wonderful performances. The actress playing Betty was a little shrill at times (I love Judy Kuhn's versions of the songs). The ensemble was great. Excellent diction on all those dialogue/patter songs. the actor/singing playing Max was also great.

BB6: What ROTTEN news about the live feed.

Even more rotten is that I won't get to see tomorrow's telecast "live"...but three-hours-tape-delayed!

I wonder if the feed will take into consideration West Coast viewers or if it will come back up at 6 p.m. here?

Damn! Damn! Damn! Several weeks ago I sent DRGinny as a lark the CD of the dreadful MARIE CHRISTINE, and now Paypal think her address is my primary one. As a result, I believe everything I purchased around 4 hours ago is being sent to her home in Ohio!

This day has been such crap and it's not nearly over. I want to kick ass and kill. I want to throw things and break windows. I am not happy.

You are loved DR ELmore.

I wanted to say that DRTomovoz has sent me the new Anthony Warlow-David Hobson CD and I hope to listen to it tomorrow. I love Victorian Parlour songs!

Dr François:

First, I thank you for "repeating" the information and for giving out so much detail.

Second, I LOVE David Hobson...I have the DVD of the Aussie producton of Baz Luhrmann's "La Boheme" in which he sang Rodolfo and a separate CD recording that came out a year or so back.

Third, sometimes I need a break from the internet. Sometimes it lasts a day, and sometimes it lasts several days. As inconceivable as it seems, I am not always good about "catching up" on everything that has been posted while "in absentia." My bad.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
