When Hugh Jackman comes to Broadway as Houdini, his first feat will be to produce DR JoseSPiano's missing keys.

Where, exactly, has Mr. Jackman placed said keys?

I hope they're not where Houdini was wont to hide his.

Well the Spamalot second act may have been lacking in energy last night, but the Clark Transfer semis sure saw some excitement.  A man was chasing his estranged wife in the car ramming into her as she drove down the street. It ended when she crashed into a light pole and he hit a parked semi-trailer.....one of the Spamalot trucks.  Then he shot at her car hitting her in the arm...police arrived and he killed himself.  The semis are in the news coverage. Luckily it wasn't the one that has the Spamalot logo on it.   That's parked downtown.

Here's a link to some TV coverage. http://www.kmeg.com/default.asp Right now the video is on the right - the tractor trailers are at the end. They just look like tractor trailers, but you can see the whole drama played out right in front of them

Wowza!  I was confused by how big my box of screeners was today, since I was only expecting 3 BD's--well it turns out I got the new huge Collector's Edition Blu-ray of Casablanca.  It's a most impressive boxed set, with a hardback book and, in the kind-of-silly department, faux leather passport holder and luggage tags.  Looks like it's a HD port of the previous deluxe SD extras, will have more to say later.  Off to watch!

My goodness, I slept eleven and a half hours - a REAL eleven and a half hours.  I guess if we divide that by two (for the night I didn't sleep at all) we get close to six hours, but boy I guess I needed that.  I barely remember even getting into bed.  And now, I must go do my errands and whatnot and that will be that for the day.

Once again, the elevator in my building is screwed up. I don't know why the idiot maintenance men who have been in the past two weeks are incapable of accomplishing anything that works. I reported it to the super, who got pissed at me and closed his door in my face, so after I carried three bages of groceries, an 8-lb carton from UPS and two packages up three flights of stairs, I just a sent a seething email to the management of the building. Stupid asses.

So much for the super's Christmas bonus.

And back to the chest of drawers.  The frame is assembled now and looking great. All I have left are the drawers to put together.  My trip to the library was nice, too, although I cannot tell how the Toronto production of BABES IN TOYLAND in 1925 had all the scenes listed in their program (14 changes) and still used the traditional stock-amateur libretto.

And speaking of shows closing...  Well, I can not say, I simply can not say. Right now.

Can we do a pool?

My guess is MARY POPPINS.

Either that or AVENUE Q.

And if MARY POPPINS does close, will Disney move THE LION KING back to the New Amsterdam? Why pay rent to the Minskoff when they have an empty theater?

On the subject of that CASABLANCA Blu-ray:

I'm just a little bit resentful that Warners didn't (yet) provide for a single Blu-ray of the film (as the HD-DVD was) instead of making folks who want it in HD pony up for that expensive collector's box. Yes, I know the new Blu-ray has a second disc of the Jack Warner documentary (in DVD, not Blu-ray as I understand it), but I don't need those extras, nice and fun as they may be. I'd just want the movie, but I'm not paying a premium price for a set I don't want just to get a HD version of the movie.

I got the firmware upgrades for the PS3 and the Samsung 1500 installed this afternoon, and both are running beautifully. I popped in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY in the Samsung to make sure it would play now (the other Bonds played perfectly before the upgrade; this one now plays without a hiccup).

To end the afternoon, I popped in HELLO, DOLLY and watched "Put on Your Sunday Clothes" in honor of WALL-E. I had been meaning to play the number ever since I reviewed WALL-E, and just now got around to it.

Back from errands and whatnot.  Packaged up some orders and will ship those out shortly, then that's it save for some telephonic calls.

I think I'll stick to it and not do the long jog today, even though it feels weird not to.  I think I just need the day to rest and not push.  Then tomorrow, I'll be back to it.

On TV Tonight!?

CBS - SURVIVOR, CSI, ELEVENTH HOUR
ABC - UGLY BETTY, GREY'S ANATOMY, Barbara Walters special
NBC - comedies, ER

This is Barbara Walters' 10 most fascinating people of the year special I think.

Was it someone here who said that, based on her selections, Barbara Walters is easily fascinated?

A god friend of mine, Darcy, edited the segments on Will Smith, Frank Langella, Sarah Palin & The Most Fascinating Person (she wouldn't say who, though!). I'm just glad that Sarah is not the most fascinating person!

Heading down now to finish TRANSFORMERS and then watch something for fun. At this point, I have no idea what that will be.
