I can't belive I almost forgot!!!

The MERRY, MARY, MARRY questions are finally going to be answered!

I was fiddling with my schedule for next term about a month ago and saw an opening for a intro class in linguistics. I thought it would be interesting so I signed up (I needed a nice fat elective that fit in timewise)

A couple of weeks later I was thinking about the MERRY, MARY, MARRY thing again and was wondering if the prof who would be teaching my sociolinguistics class was the same one who wrote the paper.

Turns out it is... maybe he'll address it in class!

DR TCB, what decision was made about another weekend of OLIVER?

Well, it turns out that almost all of us in the cast apparently misunderstood the director's question. She was asking about extending the show beyond the four week run; and NOTabout cutting the run short. So, I guess we will go ahead with this coming weekend as planned. The funny thing is that practically no one involved with the show would have been willing to extend the run beyond the original closing date, anyway.

Happy 21st Birthday to DR Maya!

DR Emily: You won't be able to get a good night's sleep on the bus. It stops quite a few times (the border, and then at least ONE to TWO rest stops). But it's not as bad as you think.

When you get there, do you know where you're going to go? It will be VERY early (like 5:30am).

I would suggest leaving your bags somewhere (will they let you at your hotel). You can probably walk there (not sure if you guys are taking a regular voyageur from the station or a special bus for this trip). If you have a special bus, it might even drop you off at your hotel.

When you arrive there early you can always go to McDonalds. Or just hang out in the Marriot Marquis. Or go watch whatever is happening at The Today show.

Good luck and have fun.

BTW, thanks to DRs Jay, Danise, Panni and everyone else who gave their thoughts.

DR Jay: I am actually sort of private and was gonna delete some of what I wrote yesterday (even though it wasn't all that much). But you cannot modify your posts the next day

I don't know what will happen. But I want to make sure this doesn't make me sick (since I replay everything over and over).

And btw, I LOVE TO LISTEN. We've played the game before where he talks and I can't say anything. And I love that game!

Oh and I always gain weight during the holidays. But I've lost 8 lbs. So only 8 more to go till i'm at the weight I like to be at. It's so hard to believe I gained 15 lbs. It happened WAY too easily. But I don't think I'll need to diet the next few days, since I do not feel like eating (which works well when you're trying to lose weight)

Happy vibes to everyone.

Hey BK, how can your daughter (the other Jennifer lynn) survive without internet access for 6 months. I think I would die

Oh thanks also to DR Jane for her private message (will I will answer). ANd thanks to DR Laura II for her offer to PM (which I assume is IM)

Need to find some smilies to bring cheer to the birthday papaya.

We have beautiful sunny skies and temps in the 60s here in North Carolina. Hard to believe it's winter. Seems more like early spring.

Very sad news to report. Isabelle Stevenson has passed away...

I was her escort this past year at the TONY's and she was very sweet and vivacious too...

The darling daughter has never had Internet access from her home, just at her old job. But, they're getting it and then all will be well.

Oh, by the way (BTW in internet lingo) I forgot to mention yet another example of the power of HHW, that happened to me. Yesterday, in the dressing room before the show, one of my fellow cast members pulls this little object out of his pack and says, "I bet none of you know what this is, do you?"

Immediately, all of the memories of all the posts that I had read during the weekend came flooding back to me. "I know what it is, I said casually, "it;s a Memory Stick for a computer." I then proceeded to repeat everything Bruce had said about downloading files onto the Memory Stick and transfering them directly to another computer.

The guy just stood there, crestfallen that someone had stolen his moment of glory. And I owe it all to BK!

Having been E&T for almost a week, I hope all DRs enjoyed their Christmas and/or Hanukah. I also hope all DRs have happy and safe New Year's celebrations.

As far as my top 10 theatre-going experiences in 2003, I can't find 10 but will include these:

1. and 2. Gypsy (saw it twice) - no matter what some say, I thought Bernadette and the production were terrific.

3. Nine - Banderas should have won the Tony

4. The Boy From Oz - having followed Peter Allen's career somewhat, as well as Judy's and Liza's, the show certainly held my interest, even if it wasn't Shakespere. Jackman gives one of the all time great Broadway performances and the audience loves him.

5. Wicked - Idina and Kristen were terrific and the show was very enjoyable.

6. Take Me Out - an engrossing and well-acted play.

7. Never Gonna Dance - a dumb book and leading players who were not very charismatic on stage as actors or singers. The music and the dancing, however, make it worthwhile.

Although we also say "Thoroughly Modern Millie", I just can't put that on any list of memorable theatre-going experiences since it was just Thoroughly Medicore, not memorable in the good sense and not bad enough to be memorable in the bad sense a la Dance of the Vampires from 2002.

Looking forward in 2004 to:

Fiddler on the Roof
Bombay Dreams
Assassins
Pacific Overtures
Sly Fox
Frogs
Caroline, or Change
Jerry Springer (if it makes it here)

Very sad news indeed, regarding Isabelle Stevenson. She was certainly a class act. The Tonys will not seem the same without her.

A VERY HAPPY, VERY SPECIAL 21st BIRTHDAY TO MAYA!!

We are snowed in. I would say at least nine inches. Our company can’t come, but then he is sick and they are heading back home to L.A. from San Francisco. I shoveled a path from the back door down the deck for Echo. Then I shoveled the front porch and did a very narrow path from the front door to the driveway before I quit. The snow is very heavy and the driveway too long for me to do. It’s about 300 ft long. I am very concerned being snowed in with Keith running a high fever of 103.6.

Loosing power! I’ll post later if I can.

Jennifer · « **Reply #52 on:** December 29, 2003, 10:09:29 AM »

Hey DR TCBY: Are you completely over your flu? Missed seeing your usual number of posts.

DR Jane: Take care. 9 inches is a lot of snow.

Bye for now.

My standout theatre peformances of 2003:

Elaine Stritch--At Liberty (Ahmanson Thetre)
Barbara Cook--Mostly Sondheim (Ahmanson Theatre)
To Kill A Mockingbird (West Coast Ensemble)
Take Me Out (Walter Kerr Theatre)
She Loves Me (Reprise!)
Ragtime (Civic Light Opera of the South Bay Cities)
Passion (East West Players)

Two non-theatrical live performances from 2003 that I also wish to mention:

L.A. Philharmonic--Mahler's 2nd Symphony, played during the first week of subscription performances at the new Walt Disney Concert Hall

The Eifman Ballet's full evening dance piece on the life of Tchaikovsy, performed at the Orange County Performing Arts Center

Jane · « **Reply #54 on:** December 29, 2003, 10:22:01 AM »

I’m still here. Thank goodness for the battery back up on the computer.

I had better try and find someone to plow our driveway. Keith is threatening to do it himself and he is way too sick for that.

Tell Keith to STAY IN BED. Very good lists, but I'm afraid we need more of them. Unfortunately, I didn't see all that much theater this year, but I really enjoyed Hairspray, which I managed to see with all its original players. I adored the Elaine Stritch at Liberty evening and also it was grand seeing Lily Tomlin's one-woman show again (well, Jane Wagner and Lily Tomlin's one-woman show). As for best musical theater CDs, I'd say Wicked was good, and the Columbia reissues were excellent, none more so than Li'l Abner.

DR JANE - It has been my experience that some teen agers who are home from school are out trying to make money shoveling snow....put a message or flag on your mailbox and ask them to stop by!
