Well, you've read the notes, the notes walked through here like it were a public convenience, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently boogie-boarding in Santa Moonica.
-
looking for an appropriate word of the day?
-
And the word of the day is: LENITIVE!
-
Welcome twenty-two GUESTS.
-
In my DVD player: Queer As Folk: The Final Season. It just came in the mail yesterday! I have the whole series! (Now, I just need to watch the rest of the series leading up to the final season. ::))
-
I'm off to bed. Good night, der Brucer and Edisaurus!
-
...and guests!
-
Goodnight, George!
-
...and guests!
-
All nineteen of 'em.
-
I'm tired, so I guess I should toddle off to the bedroom environment.

TOD: Car CD-DROWSY CHAPERONE
I'm so glad we went to see it when we did, with so many of the original cast. It's hard for me to picture Joanne Worley as Mrs. Tottendale!
-
Good night, BK!
(I hope Dr. T is among your CD's to be mailed!)
I hope I get my raisins from Fresno...
-
TOTD:
CD: DUSTY - the Complete BBC Sessions (Dusty Springfield)
DVD: Season One: "The Secret Army" (The basic source material for "Allo Allo")
-
My DH heard a story about Dusty Springfield on NPR and was intrigued by her, so we started checking out more of her music. I missed most of it when it first came out!
-
My favourite female pop singer of all time and right up there with the classy vocalists such as Peggy Lee. She knew what the lyrics meant.
-
Understandable, understandable!
-
Dusty would have been one of the first singers to sing Randy Newman's songs.
-
My mom sent this to me. It looks photoshopped but here are a whole series of photos of this tiger mom interacting with her surrogates, so I think it's real. Here's the story---maybe some DR's remember it:
In a zoo in California, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth.
The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress t o fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.
After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only orphans" that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaner pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger. Would they become cubs or pork chops?
Take a look...you won't believe your eyes!!

"I Think It's Going To Rain Today", "Just one Smile" and others.
Now *those* I DO remember! :)
-
Great pic and story. Truth or not.
It's like the pics with the Tortoise and and the Hippo.
-
OK, maybe one more...
-
I'm going to go back to bed, with my own "tigers". Good night, Tom!
-
Goodnight DR Edi.
-
There's a great video on YouTube of a cat who is friends with a chicken. I think it's in China. Really amazing to see how they interact. The cat even sleeps with the chicken!
-
I guess that's better than "sleeping with the fishes"...
-
Off to sleep!

Good morning Jack

Good Morning Woody

Good Morning Page 2

Ginny, I don't know if Brian (a new poster from yesterday) will make a reappearance but according to his e-mail address he works for the University of Michigan, your alma mater.

And the word of the day is: LENITIVE!
When looking for something to cure what ailed her, Julia found there was nothing as LENITIVE as a bowl of lentil soup.
It was also a great source of fiber.
-
Nothing in the CD player. Nothing in the VCR. Nothing in the DVD player.
-
Hi, JRand.
Hi, Ben.
Hi, bowl.
-
Good morning, DRs BEN and SWW!
-
Friday at last. A work day, again.
Hmmmm......
I think I liked THE FAMILY WAY....maybe that is why I like THE TWISTED NERVE....Hayley and Hywel make a nice pair whether playing newlyweds or adversaries.
And I certainly remember THE FUROR caused by Miss Hayley's nude scene and her subsequent marriage to that OLD man!!!

TOD:
CD - Return to Oz :)
DVD - THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH
VHS - BORN TO BE BAD
-
A friend is turning 50 on Sunday and he, another friend and I are having a leisurely dinner in the Gayborhood this evening. We will walk from 14th Street to 23rd and decide where to eat and then we will saunter down to the Village and finish the evening with some of the best ice cream in the city at Cones (I can't find a Web site).
Anthony is meeting with another friend tonight so he will be busy as well.
The rest of the weekend is open with no firm plans.
-
My brother is coming for a visit (I may have mentioned that earlier in the week) on Wednesday. He comes in on Wednesday afternoon and leaves very early on Sunday morning. The plane takes off at 8am from Newark so he will need to leave Manhattan early to get to the airport and then through security. He's not a morning person so I fear I will need to nudge and push to get him up and out.
-
Hi, JRand.
Hi, Ben.
Hi, bowl.
Bowl appreciates the acknowledgement ;D
-
Good morning. Ben, Jack, Steve & Tom
-
Now Bowl and I have a date. Shhh, don't tell Anthony.
-
AND BOWL
-
Good Morning Mr. Guest
-
DR Ben - At last Chitty has been mailed!
-
Good morning, DR TOMovOZ.
DR JOSE - will your name be in the Playbill?
-
Edi, the package arrived yesterday! What a treat. The card was also very funny.
Now that I have your address I will send you the 3 CDs of my work on Radio Wales.
I'm working on Volume 4 right now and it should be out by the end of the summer. That sounds like I'm having it professionally done but the studio is our bedroom.
I just sent a package of new reviews to Showtime so I should be back on the air sometime soon.
-
Thanks, Tom. Our mailbox has been full of CDs and cards lately. The mailman must wonder about all these exotic packages.
-
TOD -
CD player - Return to Oz. I remember the film, and can follow the story with the music. Mostly.
DVD - der Brucer is the one doing most of the watching. He's added Godspell, Jesus Christ Superstar, and season one of Kyle XY to the stack.
Books - I'm more than halfway through bruce d. mcclung's Lady in the Dark - Biography of a Musical, and am finding it a fascinating read. I've dipped into Ethan Mordden's All That Glittered, and Armistead Maupin's Michael Tolliver Lives has arrived - that is going to have to wait, because I'm bound to read it in one gulp.
-
Morning TCB!
-
A friend is turning 50 on Sunday...
Oh, a youngster!
;)
-
If Jose makes it to the playbill, there will be a rush of requests.
-
I'm finishing yet another bio of Ivor Novello. Earlier in the year we went through a spate of reading about Novello. Anthony finished the last book a while ago but I hadn't had a chance to start it. Even though I know the material very well it's still a good read. I love Novello!
-
No doubt DR Jose is used to a rush of requests - making them even.
-
Good morning, TomovOz and TCB.
-
Quote from: Ben on Today at 07:27:43am
A friend is turning 50 on Sunday...
Oh, a youngster!
;)
Compared to me, yep! Many of my friends are turning 50 this year or next. I beat 'em by 4 years ;)
-
and Marilyn Hill Smith's "Novello" is one of my favourite Cds.
-
I'm listening to Desmond Carrington on BBC Radio 2 at the moment.
-
I only vaguely remember 50.
-
Well, no sense in hanging around on Page 2 any more. Let's move.
-
Three seems as good a choice as any.
-
I survived yesterday.
It wasn't starting work at four in the morning that was so strange - it was arranging my sleeping schedule that was difficult. I wasn't able to get enough sleep before the shift, and was really groggy by the end of it. Then I had trouble napping after der B got me home (it was drizzling, and he didn't want me to melt).
I had a good night's sleep after he took me out to dinner, though, and feel fine now.
And that's enough of today's ego post.
-
Wow! Thank you DR Swishy for sharing that video clip. I got emotional watching it. It is a very nice feel good moment. Do you know how he did in the rest of the competition?
-
and good morning to Michael S.
-

I'm hoping it will be personally delivered as I had to collect the last one.

Is anyone else having trouble accessing today's notes?

Today's notes. People read them?

Good morning, TomovOz and TCB.
Good morning, Woody, Mr. Oz, Ben, and Michael.

Parent Trap/McCartney Score. No problem.

Well the first one! The next 49 not really.

Good morning all!
Loads of dvds this week, but last night was CAN-CAN. Love the arrangements of the Cole Porter songs and Hermes Pan's choreography and it is quite colorful. I prefer MacLaine's Irma to her Pistache, though.
In the supplemental features there are great silent clips of Gwen Verdon in the original Broadway production.

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I've been up for a while playing host. I ground the beans, I made the coffee. I toasted the bagels, I made some eggs. Etc., etc., etc.
My friends, Mike and Linda, have just headed down to Rockefeller Center, where they're going to do Top of the Rock. And then from there, they're going to head down to the West Village and start working their way back east to Chinatown in time to catch their bus back to Richmond this afternoon. And it looks like they got another nice day today for walking around the city. It was great seeing Mike again, and meeting his friend - and now mine - Linda. Depending how the timing works out, I may meet them in SoHo for lunch later on. We'll see.
-
Whew! All caught up!
DR Ginny - thanks for that Jim Dale link! I can't comprehend attending a convention with 19,999 other people. It must be completely overwhelming!
-
DR Musicguy - you're welcome! :-\
-
Good morning to DR Tomovoz (though he has gone.)
And Good Morning to DRs Ben, Michael S and Jose!
And Good Morning to you too, DR Dan (the Man).

DR JoseSPiano - wonderful news about ACL. You're now the "go-to" guy for ACL keyboards! Congrats.
-
DR Cillaliz -
Have you seen any Germans at the Spa?
[a Nine reference]
-
One of the--dare I say it?--sexiest pieces of music, ever!
And the video ain't bad either. ;)
-However, the song and the video did go through a period of heavy rotation. Every time I turned the radio on, or turn on MTV... There it was. Again?!?!?
But it's still one "damn saxy" piece of music.
-
the rest of the competition?
That reminds me of a fun [kind of campy, though I don't think intentionally] film that I haven't seen in ages...
Does anyone remember Lee Remick as a master piano teacher in The Competition?
-
Now I am jaded about Xandu
The actor that "injured" himself is being replaced by Cheyenne Jackson the star of All Shook Up.
MMMMMMM a relatively well known "star" replacing another relatively well known "star" who would have thunk it.
It one of the understudies remained in the lead and they got another actor to replace him then it wouldn't have made me jaded.
-
The one on the left looks like a wax figure from Madame Tusseaus!
Since to see you back TD
Well, that's not a wax figure from Madame Tussaud's. Although, I guess you could say the Ms. Worley is very well-preserved in a sense. As well as a very nice and gracious lady.
-

Umm.... Yes, you're still jaded. Although, I think presumptuous is a more appropriate term.
Cheyenne did the workshop last year of Xanadu. And if this was in the works, I have a feeling that Cheyenne would have "miraculously" learned all the new material and roller-skating "overnight" and would be going on sooner than next week.
And in the Broadway world, isn't everyone a "relatively well known star" -At least to people who actually keep track of the names in the Playbills.
Now... If something were to happen to Kerry Butler in the next few days, and Jane Krakowski suddenly stepped back into the role, well...
For now, just let the show open officially. Remember, Broadway - and theatre (and film, etc.) is a form of entertainment. You're either on the stage (or off the stage, or in the pit, or in the flys) or in the audience. It's not a spectator sport.
-

Of course I meant it in the nicest possible way. She does look fabulous for a 70 year old grand dame of Laugh In
-
Cody [a chocolate lab] is visiting us for a while. His sniffer is mighty powerful. When we're out for a walk, it sounds like a pneumatic piston! Very funny.
Unfortunately, he has severe hip dysplasia. He's not in any pain right now, but at some point he's going to need a double hip replacement, and his owner can't afford the medical bills, OR the time to invest in six months of slow, painful recovery. Very sad! I've heard of programs with veterinary schools where they'll perform such operations for free, as a learning experience for their vet students, but the owner then doesn't get the dog back...it's adopted out. Still worth investigating, I guess, if it saves the dog!
-
And the video ain't bad either. ;)
-However, the song and the video did go through a period of heavy rotation. Every time I turned the radio on, or turn on MTV... There it was. Again?!?!?
Yes, that's true--it was the "Mambo #5" of it's time.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=DDPy_FBdw7s
A few years ago, someone put together an amazing multi-camera version of this routine. Even cleaned up the picture and sound a bit. Quite a nice piece of work. Kevin showed it to us at a cast part down at Arena. Even he and Chris were amazed at how good - and hot(!) - the video looked.
-And if I'm remembering properly, I believe Kevin is still out on the road with the Spamalot company, and Chris is about to go back into the Broadway company for a bit now that he's back from London.
-
A belated welcome to new D[ear] R[eader] Brian. Hope you'll come back soon and often and feel welcome here! :)
-
Good morning, DR TOMovOZ.
DR JOSE - will your name be in the Playbill?
Nope. But, again, as long as my name is on the check... :)
You'd be amazed at the amount of subs and subbing that goes in Broadway pits. -Even in symphony orchestras from time to time. If the producers were required to list everyone who covers a particular book, that would be quite a listing! Some chairs have three to four people "covering" the book. Heck, I'm #14 on the Mamma Mia! list here in NYC. However, it's always good to have the depth in your coverage.
Now, if someone else were to leave the pit, and I get to take over the book, well, then I'd get my name in the Playbill.

A friend is turning 50 on Sunday and he, another friend and I are having a leisurely dinner in the Gayborhood this evening. We will walk from 14th Street to 23rd and decide where to eat and then we will saunter down to the Village and finish the evening with some of the best ice cream in the city at Cones (I can't find a Web site).
Alas, Cones does not have a website, but they are listed over at MenuPages.com:

And, yes, that is some great gelato!

As for the Friday Media Check... (And I kept thinking that yesterday was Friday ???)
Besides whatever comes up on my iPod's shuffle play...
Harry Connick, Jr. - "Oh, My Nola"
High Fidelity - OCR

And another belated Welcome to new DR Brian!
-
And another belated semi-welcome back to DR td!
*I say "semi-welcome back", because, as we all know, DRs never really leave. They just lurk elsewhere for a while. ;)
-
Well, Jose, if you want to sneak your name in, I could talk to some folks!
-
I remember THE COMPETITION. I did not remember that the great Lee Remick was in it though.
-
That reminds me of a fun [kind of campy, though I don't think intentionally] film that I haven't seen in ages...
Does anyone remember Lee Remick as a master piano teacher in The Competition?
Ah, "The Competition" - A movie I love for obvious reasons. ;)
And I would have given the win to Amy Irving too. Richard Dreyfuss' piano-playing-faking was not good. At all.
-And Lee Remick's "moment" after the announcement of the winner... YES!!
-
Well, Jose, if you want to sneak your name in, I could talk to some folks!
Hmm... Although, I think the listings have to be cleared through the conductor and the AFM payroll for each show. But.... Hmm...
-
Now I had read BK's review of REFLECTIONS IN A GOLDEN EYE a few days back, and though it made it quite clear that there were some strange goings-on, nothing could prepare me for just how INSANE the movie is. It was cool to see the urine-tinted cut on TMC. I found Liz Taylor quite attractive throughout. I wonder how somebody thought they could make a successful movie out of that material though.
-
Good morning, all! I slept late again, and that's good because next week my colleague Tom Murray rejoins me for work on THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER, and if the office is going to move, then it's another busy week. This afternoon I have an MRI at 6:15; I'm having troubles again with cervical discs and it's affectng my right arm.
Today, I shall transcribe all of my notes from yesterday's NYPL trek, and then I may continue with the Second Season of THE CLOSER. So far, my favorite episode is the body in Provenza's garage. The two detectives caught in the middle are such naughty boy scouts in deep trouble with their den mother and it's so funny. I saw another friend's name in the credits - Conan McCarty - but I saw him once in a sequence and don't recall his saying anything during the episode! I suspect he was cut in edits.
TOD:
DVD: THE CLOSER Season 2, POPULAR, Disc 6, UPSTAIRES DOWNSTAIRS Season 4

Hmm... Although, I think the listings have to be cleared through the conductor and the AFM payroll for each show. But.... Hmm...
Yes, I was thinking we'd hide it in there somewhere, stick each letter of your name on different pages like a little puzzle. Or hide you in the Fire Commissioner's warning.

Well, I believe I'm going to head to the Park for my run... -And it's not even after Noon yet! WOW!
-
"Thoughless persons like Jose S annoy patrons and endanger the safety of others by lighting matches or smoking in prohibited areas during the performance..."
-
Grom sounds great but, unfortunately, it's on the Upper West Side. We will have to make a trek some other time to try the treats up there. Looks like it is worth the trip.
-
Mr. Moore, I humbly apologize for not sending you my schedule for the upcoming invasion (and I mean that in the best way).
I will do so promptly by separate e-mail.
-
TOD. I actually bought a CD yesterday that I love. The soundtrack to an incredible movie out now called ONCE. Wonderful music. Beautiful, simple movie about a street singer in Dublin meeting a Czech girl and working on songs with her. Highly recommended!
-
And speaking of "WOW" - Believe it or not - and I can hardly believe it myself... I have been Levain free for TWO WEEKS!! Well, actually, almost THREE weeks. -I believe the last time I had a Levain cookie was when DR singdaw came into the city. I've bought cookies for others since then, but I honestly can't remember the last time I had one myself.
*Of course, come the last week of this month with all the Hainsies and Kimlets coming into town... Well... Let's just say the drought will be o'er.
-
"Thoughless persons like Jose S annoy patrons and endanger the safety of others by lighting matches or smoking in prohibited areas during the performance..."
LOL!!!

I want to add that there were a TON of hilarious posts yesterday.
-
Ah, "The Competition" - A movie I love for obvious reasons. ;)
And I would have given the win to Amy Irving too. Richard Dreyfuss' piano-playing-faking was not good. At all.
-And Lee Remick's "moment" after the announcement of the winner... YES!!
Hmmm...initially I could not recall Lee Remick being in THE COMPETITION, either, but now that you've mentioned her "moment", I've just had a flash of her icy cold character breaking free and boogying with someone at the apres-competition party at the end of the movie. Am I recalling this correctly?
-
OK... Time to put on my New Balance running shoes.
Laters...

Yes. But there's also that great moment where she steps out of the hall right after they announce the winner... She's all by herself... No expression on her face... And then this happy-wicked smile comes over her face and she jumps for joy (literally).
-
I totally remember those Remick moments now too. Damn she ruled.
-
In my DVD player: Queer As Folk: The Final Season. It just came in the mail yesterday! I have the whole series! (Now, I just need to watch the rest of the series leading up to the final season. ::))
I have all of the seasons, too, and I've yet to watch a single one. I saw them all on Showtime when they were first broadcast, but I haven't found a time when I wanted to sit down and revisit the entire series again, even though I always enjoyed it and found it a great guilty pleasure.
-
Yep, I remember that moment now.
Okay, time to browse eBay for a copy of THE COMPETITION...
-
Darn! Actually, it's time for a meeting.
-
I'm finishing yet another bio of Ivor Novello. Earlier in the year we went through a spate of reading about Novello. Anthony finished the last book a while ago but I hadn't had a chance to start it. Even though I know the material very well it's still a good read. I love Novello!
Which book on him would you recommend? I am interested in reading about his life and would love some suggestions.

Hmmm... let... me... guess.....Cheap porn, maybe!

I hope I get my raisins from Fresno...
The title of MY next book (to steal bk's oft-used quote ... don't know why, but someone hoping to get raisins from Fresno made me laugh...)
-
I totally remember those Remick moments now too. Damn she ruled.
She also delivers wonderful lines like:
It costs extra to carve schmuck on a tombstone, but you would be worth the expense.
-
Good morning!
Overcast this morning, so that means cool, cool, cool temperatures. Loving it!
-
I remember THE COMPETITION. I did not remember that the great Lee Remick was in it though.
For me, she's the BEST thing about it.
-
I believe the last time I had a Levain cookie was when DR singdaw came into the city.
Well... ;)
It IS good to be "motivated."
:)
-
It looks like John Doyle may be bringing Sondheim's Bounce to NYC.
But NOT with the actors playing instruments...
-
Which book on him would you recommend? I am interested in reading about his life and would love some suggestions.
I hasve two books on Novello, but I honestly don't knpow where they are at the moment! One's mostly photographs with a bit of text and the other's a rather cautious biography from the early 1980s, as I recall.
I looked on Amazon.com and there are a couple of new ones, one by James Harding - might be a reprint - whose books on Brithish musicals after Sir Arthur Sullivan, French operetta, and Jacques Offenbach I recommend highly.
-
Yes, DR Elmore, I think the body in Provinza's garage is my favorite of the season 2 episodes (though all are terrifically entertaining.)
I just rewatched that one the other day.

I hasve two books on Novello, but I honestly don't knpow where they are at the moment! One's mostly photographs with a bit of text and the other's a rather cautious biography from the early 1980s, as I recall.
I looked on Amazon.com and there are a couple of new ones, one by James Harding - might be a reprint - whose books on Brithish musicals after Sir Arthur Sullivan, French operetta, and Jacques Offenbach I recommend highly.
THanks for the suggestions. Naturally, I would want one that doesn't "hide in the shadows" about his personal life. I'll do an Amazon search later this morning.

There were two bios published right after his death in 1951. Both were circumspect with certain aspects of his life. Here is a list of books about him. Even though the two books from 1951 don't give you the entire story they are well done (IMHO) and worth a read if you can find them. We got them from another friend/fan of Novello.
Ivor Books (http://members.aol.com/Novello/ivorread.html)
Mary Ellis also worked extensively with Ivor and she writes about it in her biography, Mary Ellis, Those Dancing Years: The Autobiography of Mary Ellis, John Murray, 1982.

Friday morning greetings! I'm working a shortened day today (leaving at 4pm) and taking tomorrow as a vacation day. My sister and her husband are coming from Michigan, their daughter from Illinois, and my cousin from Georgia, so there will be much family time.

I'm sorry that other people spoiled it for you. I was spared that "association" with others. I did find a group on the internet (in a film music forum) with whom I could trade observations, thoughts, etc. And I was amused to read that some rather scientific minds were intrigued by the show.
I always had the sense that Joss Whedon and his writers knew exactly what the show was and never deviated from it...and that was part of its appeal for me...that it didn't cop out and that it delivered the goods week after week.
The third season was the show's very best, IMO. All the seasons, though, were well above -- in quality and interest -- most other TV shows I've seen.
And then there were those wonderful vamps...Angel, Spike, Darla and Druscilla! And, later, Harmony!

RE: SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE
YESTERDAY'S RESULTS SPOILERS*
*
*
*

*

I think it's okay that they are being voted as couples. They will change partners soon (and they change styles weekly). I also like that the judges make the final call (the audience votes for the 3 lowest couples and the judges vote out one girl and one boy).
If you're partner is popular then i think it can really benefit some people.
Okay now for last night.
I was not really happy with the results.
I didn't like/agree with either the boy or girl the judges voted out.
I guess though you really have to look at wednesday night's performance. And then also look at the solo performance (i don't like the solos). And if you only look at these 2 things then i guess they made the right choice.
Personally i thought cedric (hip hop dancer with faina) was the best by far. He was great in his couples dance on wed. And his solo was fantastic. so to me he had to be safe.
As for the other two (ricky and dominic). Well i agree that dominic (break dancer) was better on wed. Although he wasn't great. I just think that ricky and ashley were at a huge disadvantage. They were not given a good style of dance. And their choreography (given) was not good. So i didn't think it was fair to get rid of them. I think ricky had much more potential than dominic. And he did do his best on wed. So i would have kept him.
But i guess if they were going solely by wed night and solo. I get why they got rid of ricky. But i don't agree.
As for the girls, i really dislike faina (sp?) and i also wasn't crazy about the first girl (sorry i can't remember her name, she was the disco one with dominic). I really liked ashley and think she is a very good dancer. But again they were only going by wed night and the solos. So i see why the ditched ashley. But there is no way those other 2 girls are going to progress in this competition. And it wasn't like either did that well on wed (faina really struggled).
It just felt like it wasn't ashley's fault at all. She was given such average choreography while others were given brilliant work. I feel like the judges should make sure all the choreography is above average. So that really good dancers (who could have gone far) are not at a disadvantage.
I would have gotten rid of dominic and his partner. But i would not have cared if faina left. She just rubs me the wrong way.

I actually bought a CD yesterday that I love. The soundtrack to an incredible movie out now called ONCE. Wonderful music. Beautiful, simple movie about a street singer in Dublin meeting a Czech girl and working on songs with her. Highly recommended!
DR Rodzinski, DR JoseSPiano also posted a recommendation on this film and the songs some weeks ago. I may just have to venture out at lunch and pick this up!
-
When I woke up this morning I had Dog Bosco on one side of me and Fred the cat on the other side of me and I did not want to get out of bed.
-
Edi, the package arrived yesterday! What a treat. The card was also very funny.
Now that I have your address I will send you the 3 CDs of my work on Radio Wales.
I'm working on Volume 4 right now and it should be out by the end of the summer. That sounds like I'm having it professionally done but the studio is our bedroom.
Hurrah! Did Ant get to see the Morelli photo yet? Wouldn't his gangster lineage automatically qualify him to play a gangster/pastry chef?
I'm sure there are filmmakers who can also claim that "the studio is our bedroom". Does that mean you can write it off? Is this where the term "laying down on the job" originated?

I can't believe I finally broke the 10:00 min/mil pace! I mean, I've been averaging a 10-minutes for years! Well... :) And I ran my first mile in 8:40! -I guess I really was motivated! And then I slowed down a bit, because I knew there was no way I was going to maintain that pace and not have to throw-up at the end of my run. -Pretty, huh? In any case... WHEW!!! :)
-
DR Rodzinski - I saw "Once" opening weekend, and absolutely loved it. -And went right over to Virgin to buy the soundtrack. *And the soundtrack is now on sale this week too! I'm actually thinking of seeing the movie again this weekend. And this time at least I'll know how much Kleenex to bring. That final sequence just did me in the last time. But it was a good cry.

I'd definitely see it again as well. I've only managed this feat twice in my life, which is to go and see a movie before I knew ANYTHING about it. Someone told me I should see "Once." I said, "Tell me nothing. I'll see it tonight." I took my glasses off in the lobby and everything to avoid learning anything. I didn't know if it was a murder mystery, romance, anything about it. So that was cool. But I'd love to see it again.
The other time was with The Sixth Sense, and that paid off nicely as well.

My "old" theatre group has a new west coast premiere:
FIVE COURSE LOVE (http://www.presstelegram.com/entertainment/ci_6122718)
(http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site210/2007/0612/20070612_053500_C_PL13-ICT2+PC1I3A2.jpg)
ICT's new comedy stirs together three actors, five meals, lots of songs and mismatched lovers to bring out the fun
...
Or you could just head over to "Five Course Love," the Southern California premiere of one of off-Broadway's funniest and fastest musicals, and get entertained (if not fed) in five New York eateries in the space of an hour and a half.
"Five Course Love," with book, music and lyrics by Gregg Coffin, opens a month-long run in a production by International City Theatre at the Center Theater of the Long Beach Performing Arts Center. The funny, richly musical work is about love, not food, but it certainly could help you decide where to dine after the performance.
Directed by carin desai, "Five Course Love" takes a look at the humorous complexities of love in five scenes, using three actors, Perry Lambert, Jennifer Shelton and Christopher Carothers, a band and a score of more than generous proportions.
(http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site210/2007/0612/20070612_053736_C_PL13-ICT3+PC1I3AC.jpg)
Shelton channels Marlene Dietrich for her German dominatrix character. (Tracey Roman/For the Press-Telegram)
"There are more than 250 pages of music in the show," desai said in a recent pre-rehearsal conversation in the Center Theater lobby that included the three performers. "And the show is only an hour and 25 minutes long. It moves so fast, and it is almost all music."
"Five Course Love" continues the ICT tradition, carried on by desai over the years, in bringing smaller musicals to the Southland, and she has found more than a few that deserved a bigger adueince than they got in New York. "In the musical thater today, there are lots of musicals that can't make it to Broadway because it s so expensive and dominated by corporate culture," desai said. "But there are many great shows that are being written and produced on a smaller scale, and this is one."

Friday Media Check:

I went looking for this in my library's AV department and this was as close as I could get:
-
Any DRs familiar with this show?
No, but I find it a curious quote. What if our DR JoseSPiano got paid by the note - or by the page?
-
On that Cole Porter recording, you can even hear him turning the pages as he plays.
Clearly, not what DRs MattH and Edisaurus are enjoying today.
DR Elmore - how can I get a copy of your Jubilee?

Any DRs familiar with this show?
I know of the show, and I almost saw it back in 2005 down at Minetta Lane. The amazing Heather Ayers was in it, as was John Bolton and Jeff Gurner. Alas, the show itself, was not that amazing - at least from what I heard from friends at the time. And I've actually read through the piece before too. There are some catchy tunes, but just "some". :-\
However, I'm guessing the author has made some revisions and improvements since the NY production. I wish it well.

DR Jose, speaking of Canada. I just heard today that supermodel Iman is going to be the host of this Fall's PROJECT RUNWAY CANADA. I am so so excited about this.
Btw, I actually tried to vote for SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE this week. I got a busy signal so i'm not sure if they are letting calls in from canada (usually i would think it would just say the number does not work from my location). They do for DANCING WITH THE STARS (don't for AMERICAN IDOL).
-
I have absolutely no desire to work today.
Nor do I, DR MBarnum - let's just drop everything and meet in New York. Oh, wait, we're planning to do that in 2 weeks :)

Well, the local Borders was sold out of the soundtrack to Once.
But, I discovered, quite accidentally, that there's a MAGGIE MOO's within a mile from my office building! :)
And what Creation did you decide to have today?

Resting, perhaps......
I believe the technical term is "refractory period".
-
And what Creation did you decide to have today?
Haydn's. :)
Actually, I was good...I walked right on by.
But I did note the location for future reference!
-
And on that slightly racy, but medically inclined note, I'm heading out for a bit. I think some shopping is in order.

BTW, DR Jose, did you agree with who got voted out last night?
(SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE)?
Also, what did you guys think of who America decided to save? (which groups?). Some were sort of interesting.

Now, if I lived in NYC, here's something I'd put on my summer calendar as a regular Thursday evening event:
Madison Square Reads (http://www.madisonsquarepark.org/Programs/MadSqReads.aspx)

Soon we'll be sliding down the razor blade of life.

Hearts full of truth,

Yes, that French movie is The Moustache and it is quite... odd! But very well acted!
-
Next, I watched Martin & Lewis' last film HOLLYWOOD OR BUST. It's only an average entertainment though I did like the songs composed for the film.
The transfer is VERY erratic. Lots of misregistration of the Technicolor, some scenes are very soft, and yet there are stretches of it that look sharp and beautiful, but the transfer is so inconsistent that it's aggravating to watch. (And, of course, Jerry seems so out of control at this point that he goes beyond aggravation. He must have been a nightmare to try to direct back then.)
-
I ended the afternoon with last night's THE STARTER WIFE. Plot didn't progress very much except for information about Lou, but it was still OK entertainment.
-
I hear novella but I'm thinking Nutella.

Of course, the Daytime Emmys are tonight, and I'm sure I'll be watching even though I don't watch any daytime TV to speak of. But I'll be curious to see the THE VIEW ladies win as Best Talk Show or as Best Host(s) over Ellen Degeneres and the other competition.

I'm kind of afraid to ask what a handfasting ceremony consists of...
-
The hand is quicker than the eye?
-
I think if you search my comments on Hollywood or Bust you'll find that I am a bit harsher on the transfer, which I thought basically a disaster. The only GREAT transfer in the set is Artists and Models, and while the color is eye-popping, even it isn't sharp enough. The other transfers are all fine, if unexceptional.

Maybe it's Lloyd Webber's attempt to abandon a project that sounded ridiculous from the get-go?
I've heard nothing about WEHT Mr Mandelbaum. We once were friends but after crowning himself high priest of the musical, he attached himself to Mr Ethan Mordden, and they've been a coven ever since. He seems to have stepped down from the pontiff's chair. I heard a rumor that the notorious illegal videotaper who was caught too many times and banned from theatres was he, but I only repeat a rumor I'd heard. If true, that would explain part of it but who's to know?

I read your comments, but it didn't think you watched every one of those movies all the way through. If you did, you did it in record time. I did watch HOLLYWOOD OR BUST all the way through, hence my comments.
-
Yes, that's true--it was the "Mambo #5" of it's time.
Despite the heavy rotation and the fact is was #1 here ,I didn't catch up with Mambo #5 for ages. Eventually - Ah! It was the old Perez Prado tune from the 50's and hadn't changed much at all.
Everything old is new again. (a PA reference)
-
Mandelbaum did seem to disappear off the face of the earth. I know some people here had problems with him, but I always enjoyed his writing even when I didn't agree with everything he wrote.

Good luck with those Bedroom and Hall DR TCB. I gave my copy away VERY QUICKLY. (But then some people liked Jeffrey and Big Eden. (Being "Gay" movies does not make them good!).
"Bear Cub" is a good movie!

I have watched all the Martin and Lewis films in the volume two set. And that includes all of Hollywood or Bust, which I believe I wrote about separately.

I posted on another board that whenever ALW needs to keep his name alive in the papers, he pulls out the Phantom sequel - he's been doing it for years. My guess is someone has read my ongoing commentary on this (I have posted about it every time he has - and have written several columnists about it), and contacted him and laid down the guantlet - let's hear some of this sequel. Hence, the cat destroyed it - as if ALW wouldn't have it backed up somewhere. Puhleeze.

No, being gay-themed does not make them good automatically, but I genuinely liked JEFFREY and BIG EDEN (the latter especially) very much.
BEDROOMS & HALLWAYS is now more interesting for its cast than for the story, but even it has its moments.

Well... I went shopping, but I didn't buy anything. And after about an hour of walking along Fifth Avenue, I started to "feel" my run from this morning - and a dip in my blood sugar. So, I grabbed a snack at Minamoto Kitchoan, and then some sliced papaya from a street vendor. Good and good. And then I hopped on the crazy-crowded 1 train back uptown. And here I am.

I taught a student once who if she was given your birth date, could instantly tell you on what day of the week your birthday would fall in any given year.
Another student could remember all birthdays he had been told by students and teachers at the School. I guess that would have been more than a few hundred!

Oh, I've been meaning to ask...
From today's Notes:
WE ARE NOT HALFWAY THROUGH JUNE. NOW HOLD ON THERE JUST A MINUTE, PARDNER. WHAT IN TARNATION AM I SHOUTING ABOUT. OOPS (SPOO, SPELLED BACKWARDS), I INADVERTENTLY HIT THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON AND NOW WE HAVE A FINE KETTLE OF WHAT IS IT FISH.
Not?

Did it record your heart rate when you saw Matthew McConaughey without his shirt on in that latest issue of People when you ran around the newsstand?
All I know about Matthew McConaughey is that our last minister thought he had the cutest butt. And when DR Sandra gasped when she made that announcement, Pastor Sara told us that we should all appreciate God's great creations.
-
I just saw a full page ad in Variety, "for your Emmy consideration...", a show called The Librarian starring Noah Wyle. I missed this completely. Was it any good? It must have been remarked upon here, given all our librarian DRs.
I presume it was for the Sequel - Return to King Solomon's Mines. Great supporting cast with Bob Newhart and Jane Curtin. I enjoyed both it and the earlier - Quest For The Spear.
The show has nothing to do with real libraries or books - it's a riff on Indiana Jones type adventures.
Definitely one of Edisaurus' TNT more entertaining offerings.

Thanks DearReader Laura. It's a cold grey wintry morning here. Now to cope with that "Walk" concept.

It was 110 in the shade today, Tomovoz.

UGH!

And I had forgotten that Jason Tam, the Paul from the current A Chorus Line revival, is part of the cast.

Raunchy weather Dear Reader Laura.

Can someone who "knows" answer this question:
Who is the current "queen bitch" of Broadway?
DR Jose!
Actually, it's probably Michael Riedel, who sure comes off as a bitchy queen, whether he actually is gay or not.

Lots and lots and lots of teen angst! LOTS!

Well, the "musical" just started today, and is scheduled to run for a week, so... There's still time.
OH NO! If they make a number out of choosing a prom dress....

OH! Markko has two K's.

"Life is going to spit me up like a furball"

Uh-Oh... Another ballad. And this one is for the mother to sing to her insecure daughter - the one who spells her name with two R's. "My little Star(r)"
God, I wish I was making this stuff up.
-
Hmm... Maybe they should have used that auto-pitch correction thingy...
ANOTHER BALLAD?!?!?!?!?? And it's duet! Split-screen, of course.

Hmm... So, it's a love Quint-Angle... And they're all looking out of windows now...

"High School Musical" this ain't, fer sure!
Hmm... So - just a show of hands - Was prom night like getting married for you too?

OK... It's over. Whew!

DR DearReaderLaura - So, I take it you're liking your new camera? ;) -Are you using the Macro mode for your close-ups? -And is it being more battery-friendly than your previous one?
-
On the Record - Part of Your World sung gorgeously by 24 year old Ashley Brown!

Yes, DR Jose. Some of them are the macro -- some are zoom (I couldn't get close to the dragonfly). It has the big square battery instead of the AA.

Cody [a chocolate lab] is visiting us for a while.
Unfortunately, he has severe hip dysplasia. He's not in any pain right now, but at some point he's going to need a double hip replacement, and his owner can't afford the medical bills, OR the time to invest in six months of slow, painful recovery. Very sad! I've heard of programs with veterinary schools where they'll perform such operations for free, as a learning experience for their vet students, but the owner then doesn't get the dog back...it's adopted out. Still worth investigating, I guess, if it saves the dog!
That is very sad. I’m guessing a six month recovery means one hip at a time, with the dog sedated during most of the recovery period. I believe the success rate is rather high for hip replacement.
I’m hesitant to agree giving the dog up is worth it for free medical care. How old is the dog? Research might uncover some Lab clubs, or groups, that assist with medical costs.
Good vibes to Cody and his parents.

I must have heard about ONCE when you mentioned it DR Jose as I keep waiting for Netflix to get it...if it is still playing in NY when I am there I will go and see it with you, if you have a hankerin'.

What's unbelievable to me are the number of people here who like me are at around 20 years of experience and have decided to do what I'm doing - switch to immigration law. It's interesting and we've all had a good time talking about it.

We stayed at a place in Scottsdale that had a similar type pool. It was fun to swim in. I can't remember the name of the place. From what I was told there are numerous hotels in Scottsdale of the same style. I believe they are called ranches.

I was listening to Guy Mitchell singing "Ninety-Nine Years" yesterday.
(I suspect most DRs won't know the singer let alone the song). It was from 1957 and very much the basic James Bond theme.

DR Laura-A long time ago. Once a year Keith had a business conference and spouses, or partners, were invited. We went to some nice places. That hotel was by far the best because they got a special rate on it.

I think it was too big to be in downtown Scottsdale. Keith said it was called something ranch & it had a golf course. I only remember the pool & the food.
I organized a walking group every morning. We walked around a large man-maid pond with townhouses and/or small homes. At one end there was a place to get coffee.

Long ago and far away? - But we're at page 18, not at 17

Two more episodes of THE CLOSER down! My friend Alix Korey is the teacher in the episode of the 8 year-old boy's death. They're all defecting to the West Coast. I also checked my friend Conan's credits on imdb and I see he's Det. Ross on several upcoming episodes of Season Two.
The MRI was uncomfortable. I am glad it's over. I will not know any more until June 26.

Daytime Emmys rant......
Someone tell me who on god's green earth thought that Genie Francis's performance was award worthy.. What a crock! She laide in a bed, woke up, and married Luke again... Big deal!! It was nice but not what I would call outstanding. I felt the other candidates were far more worthy...
I noted NBC had a pity nomination in one of the men's acting categories and that was the only one for NBC.. Not surprised!
Glad to see GL, ATWT and YR win over GH!

Gainey Ranch, maybe?
Thank you! We think that is it. I need to find a photo of the pool. I'll look tomorrow.

Cd update:
Chris Isaak
"Wicked Game"
I have it on tape but have nto found it on cd... Ironicelly back in the day when DOOL was well written, they used to use a lot of pop music and Wicked Games was used for Matt Ashford's character Jack.
-
Nope. But, again, as long as my name is on the check... :)
You'd be amazed at the amount of subs and subbing that goes in Broadway pits. -Even in symphony orchestras from time to time. If the producers were required to list everyone who covers a particular book, that would be quite a listing! Some chairs have three to four people "covering" the book. Heck, I'm #14 on the Mamma Mia! list here in NYC. However, it's always good to have the depth in your coverage.
Now, if someone else were to leave the pit, and I get to take over the book, well, then I'd get my name in the Playbill.
So, whose does we have to take out?
-
And thinking about Conan give me the chance to wonder how his lady friend, the wonderful actress Annette Helde, who played the best Portia I ever saw in a cast including Stanley Tucci as Lorenzo, is doing these days. Annette was Glenda Jackson's standby in the production of MACBETH that Jackson and Christopher Plummer took to Broadway years ago. She and Conan met on the production, started dating, and wrote a funny play about the production, which had many directors, a long tour, and a short run. The two of them played every role except themselves. It was brilliant. Annette does a great Glenda Jackson impersonation.

I sang the praises of ENTERPRISE loud and long durings its four year run, particularly the first two years which I really, really enjoyed.
I did, too! I was very sad to see this show end...but I gotta say I like "Battlestar Galactica" more! But they're only going for one more season. :P

I watched another CLOSER episode. This one had Brenda in trouble with a traffic officer for not reporting her minor accident immediately. The murder story was also compelling.

Well, I'm off...as usual. ;)
Tonight at 9:30 pm, TAO (http://www.olytheater.com) (the theater group that's putting on the "Shrew" that I'm in) is doing a one night only return performance of "Vampire Lesbians of Sodom" by Charles Busch and I've got a ticket to see it! They did the show last year, but I didn't get to see it then. Tonight, they're putting it on as a benefit for Capital City Pride. I don't doubt that it'll be a blast! ;D

Better watch those spoilers, DR DakotaCelt. You'll get your hand slapped by giving away award winners before the west coast has time to watch the Emmys. I don't think the show is being shown live out there.

While I was waiting for the Daytime Emmys to come on, I put on TCM on Demand. On my cable service, this is free, and they were offering, among other movies, OKLAHOMA! so I put it on to see which version of it they were showing.
It was the superior Todd-AO version, and it had the good transfer that was used in the laserdisc version. Very sharp and in beautiful color.
-
I thought it was... I will say this..
Some winners and some losers I said hallelujah!
I was glad several people won and one I have been watching all year and that person really did a great job.

And speaking of the Emmys, there were a couple of ties tonight including one for the Best Drama Series. I was very surprised about that.
