Speaking of TV underscores, one of the more interesting (though brief) extras on the new BD of the McGoohan THE PRISONER release (it streets in about a week and a half) are the three different scores that were written for the show, one of them by none other than Robert Farnon (!). Really interesting to hear three radically different takes on something that must have been hard to score to begin with.

Speaking of other types of underscores....!

Do any of you have the eBay MC? Have you noticed how PayPal has made it mandatory that you now link your bank account to your main PayPal account if you want to pay your MC online? You used to be able to access a different pay mechanism for the credit card that didn't link your bank account to your PayPal account. I'm going to pay this balance then remove the eBay MC entirely and link another CC that I can pay separately. I do not want PayPal knowing my banking info--I've read too many horror stories about chargebacks, etc.

I refused to sell on eBay (not that I did that much to begin with) as soon as they changed to the absurd feedback system they have now and also required you to use PayPal, which takes a little chunk o'dough everytime you sell. I've done just fine on CL when I have something to get rid of.

Yes DR LAURA and DR DAW - I was on top of the bladder battle yesterday. I was the boss, until about 6:30 this morning when it asserted itself and became the master again. But it was a hard fought war.

Okay, when I formulate and market my bladder-control medication, I will have the perfect commercial ready:

A man is in a boxing ring going a tough round with his bladder. The bell rings and both collapse into their corners, utterly exhausted by their battle. Voice-over indicates that this is how it is with the other aggressive medications. But with new PaxFlo, things are different--you make friends with your bladder. This is accompanied by shots of the man and his bladder happily walking together through a park, then sitting next to each other at a movie or ball game, then finally in the bedroom, where the bladder is holding up the alarm clock it just set for 7:00 am and the man giving the "OK" sign and turning over and going to sleep with a smile on his face.

I think that sounds 30 second-able, doesn't it?

It seems that Jonathon Graff - who recently came out, or so it seems - will be joining GLEE as one of the 20+ students, and a romantic interest for Lea Michele, his SA costar.

I believe Mr. Groff will be playing the lead singer for "Vocal Adrenaline" - the group the "Gleeks" watched in the pilot episode. I think he's signed on for five episodes.

I wonder if he will be a part of the to-be-directed-by Josh Whedon episode?

JG came out? Hmmm... -Links, please and Thank You.

It was mentioned on ATC last night. DR FJL already has a funny spoof song about it.

No problems with PayPal, MC, or my bank - and they are connected at that account. But I know others have had problems. Probably with larger bank accounts than mine.

I never read that thread. I was always highly entertained by her "Depends" commercials, though.

Aw, shucks! Thank you, all, for your kind thoughts today.

I am off to City Center; Josh Clayton, my adopted son, and I are going to put the music before the finale into full score, create a piano reduction, make fixes to it, play it over the phone to Rob Berman, our mighty MD who is involved with WHITE CHRISTMAS today, and once he's happy with it, rescore it and copy it into the parts. Josh is a great deal responsible for my being on FINIAN'S RAINBOW and he's playing the string synth for the show. He's become over the past couple of years my surrogate son and he and I are working on taking over the orchestration cartel.

Comments on Monday's Big Bang Theory:

From WilWheatonBlog

Quote

First of all, for anyone who is wondering, the show's art department made actual cards with actual graphics and rules on them, and we all spent a fair amount of time making up some logical rules to go with the Mystic Warlords of Ka'a. As far as I know, there aren't official rules or an official card set, but I'm sure someone will create one within a couple of weeks if the show doesn't. (Oh please, oh please.)

When he first talked to me about working on the show, Bill Prady told me that I'd be playing a "delightfully evil version" of myself. This sounded like a lot of fun to me, but it was more difficult to find that character than you'd think. When I'm playing Fawkes on The Guild it's easy to slip into his kilt and be a jerk, but wearing my own clothes and essentially playing a stylized version of myself made it a real challenge to hit "delightfully evil" without veering into "not committed to being delightfully evil" or "just plain evil." Keeping that twinkle in my eye, and knowing that Wil Wheaton (The Big Bang Version) is planning to scam Sheldon from the moment he sits down, was essential to this particular characterization working out, and I didn't completely find it until we'd run the episode a couple of times.

During one of the run throughs, when Jim did his Klingon bit, I turned to Kevin and asked him, "Did he just say 'revenge is a dish best served cold' in Klingon?" like I was trying to figure out if that's actually what happened, like maybe I misunderstood him. Chuck Lorre told me that it would be funnier if I was more exasperated. "You're just here to play this game, and now some guy is quoting Klingon at you. This happens everywhere you go," he said.

I sighed dramatically, and said, "Oh, it does." Everyone laughed, hard, and Chuck pointed his finger at me. "Yes. That is exactly the way to play that beat."

When Chuck gave me that note, I grokked how to play Evil Wil Wheaton (The Big Bang Theory version), and I could see the comedy in every beat I played for the rest of the show. I totally grew a level in comedy acting, and learned something about letting go of who I really am, so I could embrace the Delightfully Evil version of myself (who I seriously hope will return in the future, because OMG was it fun to play him.)

Been to the post office, printed out orders, had no time to jog and after five days in a row of the long jog and all the heavy lifting yesterday I'm thinking I'll pass on it today, I'm basically saying no more work for today, other than taking a gander at the new draft of the long musical.
