Lunch with Hank Moonjean....gee I thought he worked on THE GREAT GATSBY in 1974, but it is not in his filmography nor the credits for that film.  I just seem to remember seeing his name on the screen and thinking how perfect it was for the subject.   Harvey.........oh Harvey....

Perhpaps....I think is a length of measurement in Nascar racing.  It's the number of laps the cars can make without running into each other.  I don't think it's been used yet.

To relax....I dance...yes...I dance.  I do my own choreography to any number of songs - Mr Nick Redman's soundtrack CD of THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOWBUSINESS is a good one to start with.  There is also something to be said for the soundtrack to 54 - all that disco!

Although....Nancy seemed to have more legit credits:

Nancy Kwan, star of 'Flower Drum Song' and 'The World of Suzie Wong.'

As compared to:

June Wilkinson, star of 'Macumba Love' and 'Twist All Night.'  Of course they forgot "Pajama Tops"....which DRCHARLES POGUE has mentioned here before.

DR EMILY I hope you re-set your alarm clock!

Perphaps is a building and masonary term. It refers to gap between large stones. The gap is usually plugged by a stone of a different colour and or texture. Perphapsing  is a technique used by many of the nomadic tribes of the Australian hinterland when building their corroboree pavilians.

Good Morning!

Sleep?  Who needs sleep?!?!?

-Trust me, I will be getting to bed shortly.  Just winding down, and checking in on things "back home", as it were, via the net.

As for the topic of the day:

"Perhpaps" - adjectival noun: a declension of the phrase "per his pap's"; "according to his father - or father figure".

For example:
-He's not old-fashioned, he just does things perhpaps.
-Once she married John, she tried her best to changes his perhpapsian ways.

Origin: Californian (Los Angeles environs) Yiddish via Brooklyn, New York and vice versa.

Oh, btw, "spaphrep" is "perhpaps" spelled backwards!

As for relieving stress...

If it's "biz" related - like a tech week of show - I usually just get some much-needed sleep and/or I veg out in front of the TV.  I would go for a massage, but then if I'm going through a "tension" filled period, it's not really worth it to me since I can't really have the time after the massage to enjoy it.

Now, if I do have the luxury of time, I usually like to get a massage in the morning, and then spend the rest of the day continuing to relax.  Or I'll get a massage at the end of the day, and that helps me sleep better.

Otherwise, it's just a matter of removing myself from the tense situation - going for a walk is general cure all for me.

Hmmm... So, let's see... If I charge $5.00 per poster... $20.00 if they're autographed by the cast... $50.00 if they're autographed by myself and BK... Hmm... ;)

Unfortunately, the poster is a bit big to scan... We're supposed to be getting the postcards soon.  I'm sure BK can post a scan of one of those once they're ready.

Has July seemed like a long month already to any other DRs out there?

I was talking with Tammy earlier, and we both thought the 4th of July seems like ages ago already.

For me, I know part of it was sitting at home doing nothing for the first part of the month.  Then I got the phone call to come out here, and my whole sense of time got skewed again.  -But it's been a great two weeks of rehearsal!  WOW!  Only two weeks of rehearsal!!!

-And tonight's/last night's rehearsal was very good.  I didn't get yelled at as much as I have been lately... well, as much as I've been used to. ;)

Seriously, it's a great cast of people led by a great director.  And if our pace continues like this, I actually sense we might have some "breathing" room once we start tech - at least in the sense we won't be having to teach and learn anything new at the last moment - which is quite a normal thing to deal with when putting up a show.

D-I-T, is that the infamous Rula Lenska?

It will  be hard to top Jose's definition of Perhpaps so I won't try.

I've been busy at work so haven't posted much.

To beat a dead horse, Cold Stone Creamery. I was not impressed. They are on 42nd Street, near the Selwyn (it will always be the Selwyn to me, not the American Airlines Theatre) and there is always a line coming out the door, even in winter. I went in once and when I recovered from the price shock and actually got some ice cream I was disappointed. Yes, it's a big show but not much else. I prefer to go around the corner to 43rd Street and 8th Avenue to the Ben and Jerry's. Besides fulfilling my Ice Cream fix (with better tasting ice cream), I'm helping a nonprofit enterprise which gives jobs to at-risk youth and chronically unemployed. Much better bang for my buck if you ask me.

I'm also busy at home because (wait for it)...

I'm pressing my first CD! Hoo and Ray. As some of you may remember, over the past year and a quarter, I began doing sporadic reviews for a radio station in Cardiff, Wales. It's on a program called Showtime broadcast over BBC-Radio Wales. The spots have turned into an on-going enterprise. Now, usually every other week I'm on the air as part of the BBC. Since April of 2003 I have reviewed 20 different musicals here in New York. I recorded the reviews from the internet and have now burned a CD of those twenty spots. What fun! I never thought 13 years ago when I stopped performing that I would end up with a CD of my reviews broadcast all over the world.

If any DR is interested in having a CD, send me a PM with your address and I'll put one in the mail.

Good Morning. Last night I was so tired that at around 10:30 I became an incoherent (not incontinent) mess. My daughter, who thought I was hilarious as I stumbled around, is a witness. By around 10:45, I was asleep. Which is why I didn't do my usual late night posts. :P

Today will be fairly busy as DD and I prepare for what may or my not be an auspicious occasion. Tonight is the big premiere. As I haven't seen the movie since the director's cut and as hands other than mine have "added input" I make no predictions. It should be a fun occasion for DD, at any rate. The evening marks not only the premiere of the film, but also a celebration of 50 Disney Channel originals, so there should be lots of celebs that DD likes on hand. She's a fan of the Disney Channel films.

Another THUNDERBIRDS dvd was released a few weeks back...a BEST OF THUNDERBIRDS which has several fan favorite episodes...all for just $15!

I wonder how the new movie will be?

Not to dish a show before it opens but poor Dracula seems to have more than it's share of problems. First technical problems and now a water leak at the Belasco. Perhaps David Belasco is trying to tell them something (his ghost has been rumored to haunt the theatre).

Here's a link to the Playbill On-Line article.

http://www.playbill.com/news/article/87570.html

Also, there seems to have been a change in casting for the TV version of Once Upon a Matress. It was supposed to star Marissa Jaret Winokur but now Tracy Ullman is said to be the new Princess Winifred. Carol Burnett is still scheduled to be in the production.

DRPANNI that is so exciting....if E! Television is there be sure to flash your tube top as you go by and wave at us!

Rula Lenska....a real Polish countess...of course.  Alberto V05....she is serene of course, not royal.

Nobody mentioned Lawrence Welk yesterday, unless I missed it.  We had a LOT of his albums on Coral....I think Liberace was on Coral for awhile, too.

No comments yet on Miss Allison's picture.  Stunned I imagine....all of the DR's are stunned!

You know Frances Farmer did GOLDEN BOY at the Belasco - maybe she is haunting the place!  Does it smell like cigarettes and vodka?

MB I saw the preview for the Thunderbirds movie and I have mixed feelings about it.  I love the episodes on the TECH Channel with the popups - but I can't tell the tone of the movie from the preview.  TWT.

There will, BTW, be lots of Navy people there. We had, as they say, the full cooperation of the Navy in the filming of this opus.

The Belasco isn't the only place with a water leak. This morning, I heard a tiny little fizz coming from the kitchen while I was reading my book in the living room, and I came to find out the water hose piping water into the refrigerator had rung a couple of teeny, tiny pin prick leaks, not a disaster since I was here to cut off the water, but what if this had happened when I was in NYC last week! I would have had a flooded house by the time I got back.

Once Upon a Mattress will be yet another television travesty - directed by a non-director, with awful camerawork and a leading lady who is at least thirty-five years to old to play the leading role (IF the press release has got that correct).  I don't care how brilliant Miss Ullman is, she's wrong as can be for the part, just as Glenn Close was wrong as can be for Nellie Forbush.  

In other news:  As per ususal, our official press release was sent to talkin' broadway for posting on their West Coast board.  They post ALL official press releases, and I do mean all.  Well, not quite all.  They haven't posted ours.  The excuse?  She's been so busy.  So busy that she's just posted a whole new batch of them which still doesn't include ours.  If one of you wanted to go over there, visit the West Coast board and post that you're surprised this hasn't been mentioned but that there's a cool-sounding new musical revue being done at the Hudson, and then providing some info or a link to the playbill article (best) that would be swellegant.  These people and their agendas.

"perphaps"

(the "ph" is pronounced as in "phase" or "pheasant" and the word is heavily accented on the last syllable, thus:

per-FAPS

Perphaps is the Ladies version of the Gentlemen's Locker room game of butt-snapping played with wet towels, often called "perthwap" .

"Perphaps" is played fully clothed in demure costumery and a delicate whip is used to "phap" the ladies on their well-padded posteriors.

And I agree, Tracey seems too old.  She looks and acts her age.

From what I read last night, it seems that Marissa is too booked to be able to do Mattress and withdrew herself.  It's a shame cuz I thought she would make an interesting Winifred.  Not that Ullman won't be capable, but, as DR Panni has just said, she's too old to be able to pull this off on film.

IMHO (internet lingo!), Stephanie D'Abruzzo would have been a good alternative to Winokur.

Also, when my piano (in my extra bedroom) is not blocked by boxes being stored in front of it, I like to play it to help calm me down.  I'm not very good.  Even though I took piano lessons for six years and can read music quite well, I haven't practiced in a long time (playing both hands at the same time is not easy for me).  But I don't care.  I do it for me!  For me!  For Me!  FOR.....MEEEEEEEE!!!!!  (a Gypsy...almost Typsy, reference)

This morning Echo and I went for our usual walk when we a discovered a trail we have never seen before.  As we were going down the trail the neighbor’s pinto came towards us when Echo bolted past the horse.  This always makes me nervous as I was kicked by a horse when I was young.  Just as she emerged back around the horse and I knew she was safe, I woke up.  If a dream was ever telling me something this was it-wake up and walk Echo. I had gone back to sleep and it was getting late.

Besides, "perphaps" (the word der B was citing) is not pronounced with an "f" sound, but with the "ph" having a "v" sound.  Along with the name Stephen, it is the only case in the English language where "ph" is pronounced as "v".

Nothing beats having my shoulders massaged to relax me.

Last night I sat on the deck with Echo and enjoyed the evening.  If I had taken out a glass of wine with me I really would have been relaxed.  Curling up with Bogie while he purrs is very relaxing.  

A nice walk can be very calming, which in turn can relax me.  And then there is always music, TV and reading to do the job.

All this relaxing, now I’m ready for a nap.

ust as she emerged back around the horse and I knew she was safe, I woke up.  If a dream was ever telling me something this was it-wake up and walk Echo. I had gone back to sleep and it was getting late.

You've just described the idea of the opening image of the Amelia Earhart movie. I read in one of her bios that when she was a child she rode here sled down a really steep hill and went between the legs of a horse that was drawing a carriage (sleigh?) at the bottom of the hill.
I thought that this - and her reaction to it, one of pure exhilaration at cheating death -  would make an arresting image to set her up as an adventurer for the rest of her life. So that's what I wrote for the credit sequence. They shot that one sequence in Quebec for the snow. The rest of the movie was shot in California.

Relaxing:

If I find myself stressing out during the day, I'll take several slow belly breaths,  expanding as deep into the diaphragm as I can.  That usually does the trick immediately.  

When I come home from work after a particularly stressful day and I'm still feeling tensed up, a good long walk always helps, but I have to watch that it doesn't turn into an angry, stomping kind of walk.  I try to practice Mindfull meditation and dispassionately move my body and observe my surroundings and allow my thoughts to come and go like clouds.  

On one of my office PCs, I have a screen saver that is like a psychedelic light show with shapes and colors and patterns that are incredibly hypnotic.  I sometimes take a break to just stare at it for about five or ten minutes or an hour or two, depending on how long before someone comes into my office and breaks me out of my trance.

Tammy, Jose and I all went to Jerry's Deli last night after rehearsal.  Tammy had apple pie ala mode and I had something called an Italian Salad (salami, provolone, etc).  My salad was grotesquely bad and my tummy has been weird today - not terrible, just weird.  Poor Tammy, who said the apple pie tasted really odd and who stopped eating it after four bites, woke up at five, threw up, and has been nauseous all day and is now in pain, so that means she probably has food poisoning thanks to that disgusting restaurant.  She's getting some meds now and hopes she'll be okay enough to do some light rehearsing tonight.  Otherwise, I've told her to stay home and rest and we'll do her stuff tomorrow night.  I called Jerry's Deli and spoke to a manager who said she'd pass on my complaints to corporate.  Corporate called me within two minutes and was genuinely apologetic and is sending me gift certs - of course, I have no plans at all to go back there for quite some time to come and if I use said certs it won't be at the Studio City Jerry's.

Evening all!  I’m doing better than I did yesterday at this time.  Hey, I’m awake and dressed and I didn’t fall asleep on the bus ride home—what else do you want?  

I didn’t have the chance to tell you about the reactions I received when I went in to work yesterday.  **chuckle**  There were some surprised people, I’ll tell you that.  Most thought the surgery had been canceled and were amazed when I told them that it had indeed occurred, right on schedule.  

It was nice to know I was missed.  My bosses first words were, “Thank GOD your back—I messed up the vacancy report big time and didn’t know how to fix it.”  Well, I can’t lie.  She DID mess up the vacancy report big time.  I have no clue how she did what she did and it took me most of the morning but I fixed it.  

Bosses.  You can’t leave’em alone for a moment.  Lord only knows what kind of trouble they’ll get into. If I had been gone for 2-6 weeks (worst case scenario) I wonder what would have happened?

I have no idea what a “Cold Stone Creamery” is.  Must be something you guys have out in the West.  

Jose, July has been a long month.  In more ways than one.   But I have to look at the bright side.  We had 3 paychecks this month.  That will happen once more before the year is up.  In December, I believe.  I don’t know about any of you but I could use a few more months with an extra pay.  

Ben, I want a CD too!

I laughed about all the neat new shows you guys came up with.  Wish I was that clever.  

See Jane, I told you your son was nice looking.   :)

A very nostalgic evening for me tonight. I was watching some old show tapes of mine (FOREVER PLAID, to be exact) when the phone rang and it was my ex-lover whom I've been out of touch with for four years. We parted amicably in 1989, but he's still kind of a mother hen about me, and when he last called four years ago, we had a tiff on the phone. He avoided those caustic topics tonight, and we had a lovely conversation. Nice to know he's healthy and happy. As am I.

One last title from me:

Gone With the Hind.

A deer runs off with the last hot dog at the barbecue!

Well, Northwest Contingent, it's official!!  I got my tickets today and here is one (cropped so that no one can print it and try to get in without a real ticket which needs the stub on the right side...and I smudged the ticket number):

What a loverly bunch of coconuts - I mean posts.  I'm back.  Rehearsal went well.  Tammy, trouper that she is, got herself there, we ran her two numbers that had to be staged and then she went home and went to bed.

SWW, you are eating dinner at 11:30 PM?!?  
Well, yes!  I finished work at 9, then we had some errands to run, and cheese and a cocktail when we finally got home.  Then I got dinner cooking, and it was on the table at about 11:30.

I've always been a night-owl.  How else could I stay up until BK puts up the new notes each day?

THE SAGA OF THE KITCHEN STORE, the next chapter.

My vengeful co-worker has indeed been busy.  She has gone behind our manager's back, and reported nasty things to the assistant regional director.  Now, I don't mind these little catty communiques when they're just about me.  That vcw has seen fit to go behind our managers back, however, has me very pissed off.

For the moment, however, it seems that karma is kicking in.  VCW was at the store during the early hours, and had to leave to see her doctor after feeling severe pains in her side.  Exactly how long it will be before she returns to work remains to be seen.

Until then, I intend to keep my nose very clean.  My hunch is that the real battle will be between the vcw and our boss.  And I think I know who I'd rather side with.  In fact, that's a no-brainer.

I have returned from the Hollywood Bowl.  Miss Renee Fleming was in splendid voice and truly demonstrated her versatility and range.  It was a lovely concert.

I'm off to bed.  I must get to work early in the morning.  My Antiques Roadshow tickets are safely tucked away and will NOT get lost!

If we're going to have a Northwest HHW Get-Together, we should start making plans now! :) I'm assuming that the simplest thing will just be for us to meet for dinner somewhere in the evening.  Anyway, think about it and let's discuss!

Back from the premiere. Thank you for all the lovely compliments on the pictures!
It was a big deal premiere. Red carpet, tons of press... Here's a photo of the red carpet and some of the press...

My phone-camera was acting up, so there aren't too many pics. I'll just post one more tonight and see if there's anything else that's postable tomorrow. This is me with one of the producers (and a smiling waiter)...

The movie was good. (Apparently there's already a really good review in TV Guide.) There was lots of laughing and crying and the audience seemed to enjoy it. (Mind you, this wasn't a random sampling of the population). My most enjoyable conversation of the evening was with Marlee Matlin who seems to be a genuinely nice woman. I'm really tired so this isn't the most scintillating description of the evening. More tomorrow.

I just read the post about Jerry's. Too bad I didn't read it earlier. Guess where Rachel and I ate after the premiere?
