Well, you've read the notes, the notes had too many words, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently discussing just how many words I've used talking about them and their errant and truant behavior.
-
And the word of the day is: EXCEREBROSE!
-
Rodzinski, when are you comin' down here?
-
Driving down Wed. Leaving here in the am
-
Twinky is not to be confused with The Twonky.
-
Twinky is not to be confused with The Twonky or Twiggy or even twink.
-
I must to bed for I am truly tired.
-
TOD: I have a hard time getting rid of t-shirts. I try to keep at least one that represents every place I went to school and so forth. I have a bunch of shoes I never wear that I should get rid of.
-
I have many old, old t-shirts - original Nudie Musical t-shirts from the time of release, t-shirts from all my shows, including Stages and Together Again.
-
Welcome four GUESTS. Who are you people?
-
I have several t-shirts that I got from BC/EFA in the early 1990s that have the autographs of Tony Award nominees. Sadly, they're not actual autographs...the signatures are printed on the shirt.
-
Time for dreamin'
-
Those actual autograph shirts are a pain to wash!
-
I only have one t-shirt with an actual autograph. Kate Shindle, while she was still Miss America, came to Olympia and promoted the Thurston County AIDS Walk. A bunch of us in "Babes With Big Hair: An AIDS Benefit Revue" did the walk, also. I took her picture with a few of the cast members and she autographed my TCAW t-shirt, which I still have. :)
-
Time for my beauty sleep. Good night, all.
-
Twinky is not to be confused with The Twonky.
I <heart> The Twonky and other Lewis Padgett stories.
-
TOD: I have a hard time getting rid of t-shirts. I try to keep at least one that represents every place I went to school and so forth. I have a bunch of shoes I never wear that I should get rid of.
I am the same way. I should just take a picture of them and put them in a scrapbook because I know they will never fit again. My shirts are usually involving events I've been to, like film festivals or concerts. I also can't get rid of t-shirts from places I worked.
Many of the festival shirts list all the invited films on the back, so those are really hard to give up.
-
The one pair of shoes I've held on to for decades, even though they are worn out beyond wearing and wouldn't fit, anyway, are my Peter Max tennis shoes.
-
For my birthday whien I was in high school, I asked my mother to make me a cape. Who knows why? It was black fabric with a slight fur texture and lined with red satin. I wore it a surprisng amount, even in college! Later, it was handy for Halloween. Still got it!
-
I also can't give up the two H.S. chorus dresses my mother made for me. Double-knit fabric...ugly dresses that I can't seem to give up. No one would ever buy them at a consignment store or even Goodwill and they would probably get thrown out, which I couldn't bear the thought of, because...
my mother made them, with love. Argh.
How do people get rid of stuff like that? I really need to do some purging if we're ever going to move!
-
I have a coat of my mom's that I loved as a child. I will never wear it but I can't give it up, even though it is a heavy fake fur coat.
-
I guess that since I'm a military brat, I have a hard time getting rid of items with sentimental value, because we had to dump so much stuff when we moved that I have hardly anything from my childhood.
Maybe when Jose is here I will get some tips on purging stuff.
-
Back to dreamland, I hope!
-
I still have my The Real A/What is it fish T-shirt!
-
I still have my School Cap (How very British) and tie from High School. Both were purchased when I started High School in 1958.
-
Good Morning and Good Night from OZ land.
-
Good morning, all! One thing about rising at 5:00 AM: no phone calls or too many distractions. My physical exam is at 9:30 so I have a little more than three hours to work, then off to the sound mix, and back to continue on these band parts!
-
And the word of the day is: EXCEREBROSE!
I'd give comment on this, but I can't think of a thing.
-
We've been up a little while. It's Skip's second day of jury duty. I think the whole process is only two days unless you're chosen for a case or in the middle of a voir dire at the end of the day.
-
...Maybe when Jose is here I will get some tips on purging stuff.
I doubt it - DR Jose is hardly anorexic.
-
I have a Mike's Corral softball uniform shirt hanging in my closet. Navy blue pinstripes on a white background, very nylon, with the number 53 on the back, quite unique. I doubt that I'll ever wear it again, of course, but one never knows for sure.
I never did have the pants. I was a scorekeeper, not an on-the-field guy. I wore jeans, instead.
-
I got to start page two!
Such an ego boost.
-
DR MattH, oh no, I totally forgot that this was the last episode of HEROES for 6 weeks. Drats! I told you last night's episode was so good. I've been waiting to post so everybody could watch.
-
HEROES SPOILERS
from last night's SHOW
*
*
*
It was basically one twist after another. Wow.
I'm not sure what my favorite part was. I liked it when that girl morphed herself into simone (i guess they had shown simone on the previews). But I LOVED it when she morphed herself into mrs bennett. And the best part of that was that i should have seen it coming. But totally didn't!
I liked claired sneaking off. But i LOVED it when grandma petrelli opened the door and the haitian was there. Hi grandma! So the haitian is working for her???
I also liked that nathan helped hiro. And for once i even liked niki (helping nathan). And I LOVED ando showing up as security. So great.
And then the end with mohinder. Wow. And Peter. ANd sylar. Crazy.
-
HEROES spoilers one more thing

Okay i forgot to mention something. Actually two things. Nathan being good (working with the FBI). But the craziest thing to me was Linderman. Why was i expecting some mob boss. And instead we have some white haired guy who loves cooking. What was up with that????
-
TOD: One of the best gifts I ever got was a quilt made by my mother. She clandestinely collected a bunch of my old favorite T-shirts that were too worn to wear, cut the significant art/lettering bits into uniform squares, and turned them into that wonderful quilt, which I still treasure!
-
Good Morning!
I'm up... I'm up...
And, boy, am I glad I used my humidifier last night. It's dry - and cold(!) - here.
-

...And instead we have some white haired guy who loves cooking. What was up with that????
You've got something against good food?
Linderman himself said that cooking was one of the few things in life where he could come close to perfection.
And Malcolm McDowell has had white hair for ages.
You DO know who Malcolm McDowell is, right?
-
DR Miss Karen, I just came up with a better answer to your question. About that upper fish on my avatar? It's just pixelated to protect you from the naughty bits!!
-
I doubt it - DR Jose is hardly anorexic.
He could be. I've never seen him and Anna Rexic in the same room at the same time.
-
Lots of news in the posts last night.
DR CILLA LIZ has put in her notice....DR RODZINSKI is in California...
-
DR JoseSPiano, thanks for your report on last night's Avenue Q. That cast album always makes me feel giddy.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
Yep, I'm another t-shirt horder - especially when it comes to show t-shirts. -No matter how worn out or faded the logo was/is getting. However, in my latest round of sorting and purging, I did start to get trash some t-shirts which were either too big, too full of holes, or both.
And, of course, I have a few t-shirts which I've bought that I've never worn. One of them is from the Kennedy Center's Sondheim Celebration since it has such a large decal transfer(?) on it. It would just crack. I think.
*And will soon be up for bidding on e-Bay. ;)
-
TOD:
T shirts of course
A lovely 1983 white tuxedo that was given to me when I did some Bridal Show....it's scary now....but it was au courant at the time, to be sure.
HOWEVER - because I am a board member of the lovely Putnam County Playhouse, I don't have to throw ANY clothes away - I can put them in the costume collection. AND then I can put them in my shows, or others and see items from my closet onstage!
-
DR JOSE - I echo DR SINGDAW's comments. Thanks for the AVENUE Q report.
-
EXCEREBROSE and VERBOSE do not belong together. But that doesn't mean that they don't cozy up to each other every now and then.
-
DRs singdaw and JRand - You're very welcome.
-
TOD:
...A lovely 1983 white tuxedo that was given to me when I did some Bridal Show.......
The gown, on the other hand, had to be returned.
Aw, c'mon, someone had to say it! ;D
-
And I must onwards to work.
-
And I'm AT work and should be getting back to it!
-
And Topic of the Day - Part Deux
I had a sweat shirt from a high school/community theatre production I music directed of "Fame: The Musical". First of all, the show itself is not exactly the greatest work of art - and not even the good-est work of art. Secondly, the logo the company came up with for the show was, to put it in a word, ugly. And sort of questionable: it was a drawing of a teenage girl wearing short-shorts and a t-shirt. ??? In any case...
At closing night, the cast gave me a hooded sweatshirt that they had all signed for me. I never wore it. And whenever I would do the occasional clothing purge, I would want to throw it out - since I wasn't going to wear it - but then I would have this fear that someone would be digging through my garbage - which happened a lot in Richmond - and I'd end up seeing someone on the street wearing it. (Was that enough of a run-on sentence for you?) And I didn't want to see anyone else wearing it, especially since my name was on it ("You rock, Jose!", "Jose, you the Man!", etc.). People would know that it originally belonged to me!
Well, I eventually got over that "fear", and threw it out. But not before cutting it in half, and wrapping it up in multiple plastic bags.
::)

Happy Birthday to Ms Mary Jane (Allison) Hayes.
March 6, 1930 - February 27, 1977
Here she is wearing the epitome of 1958 fashion (Frederick's style) with Mr Gene Barry in their film "Hong Kong Confidential."
She is also sporting a large heart-shaped ring that she wore in many film and television appearances. The outfit itself (also her own) also was featured in "Pier 5: Havana" and "The Hypnotic Eye." 8)
-
OK - I need to start getting ready for my day, but I should be able to check in before I head downtown for rehearsal.
Laters...
-
I would suggest this outfit as something DRS CILLA LIZ and LAURA might consider wearing in court.
-
All the news that can be told must be told, DR JOSE.
-
Perhaps MR BK can ask Mr Spirtas today about his VALLEY OF THE DOLLS experience.
-
I have a show jacket from my time touring with Sesame Street Live. Since I played Oscar the Grouch the jacket (baseball style w/snaps) is a quite vibrant Green
I also have a jacket from when I worked with The NAMES Project (http://www.aidsquilt.org/)
I also have some T-shirts. Not as many as I used to but I have kept a few from college that have strong sentimental value and my T-shirt from Mont Saint Michel. Having a husband whose parents live in a house on Long Island helps in keeping stuff like this because all the aforementioned items are now in a dresser in the basement of the house on Long Island.
-
When I cleaned out my closet last summer - I threw away 15 bags of clothing....I didn't even look at a lot of the stuff (and I didn't want to see any of it onstage) - gone. Not even worth taking to the thrift store....believe me. I think many t shirts went in those bags.....
-
***FIRST DAY OF REHEARSAL VIBES*** for DR JoseSPiano

But not before cutting it in half, and wrapping it up in multiple plastic bags.
Um.....I think the police may want to ask you a few questions. :o
-
And welcome to page 3!!!!
[The network here at work is down, what can I say?]
-
OK, DR Ben, spill it.
How was that Pirate Queen?
-
As I mentioned yesterday, I went to see the final dress of The Pirate Queen.
It has great production values and there are some very strong performances. The woman who plays Queen Elizabeth I is excellent
Linda Balgord (http://www.thepiratequeen.com/cast.php)
and Stephanie J. Block is very good as Grace O'Malley, the Pirate Queen.
There are some excellent moments in the show, especially near the end with QE and GO (Queen Elizabeth and Grace O'Malley in case you were wondering) but...you knew there was a but, didn't you.
The show is not, in my humble opinion, a mess (I heard it was something approaching that while playing in Chicago).
I wanted to like it more. I feel as if I should like it more, but I don't. It's because of the book and the music, I think. It's a great story, full of conflict and true love and death and life but it comes off as a History Channel Movie with music. The Irish Step Dancing is certainly rousing but I did shake my head a few times. The music does not stir me in the way parts of Les Miz does. I also find some of the lyrics rather trite and pedestrian. The same goes for the dialogue in the book. It's not a sung through piece, although there is an abundance of music.
It's staged well by Frank Galati. He makes some nice pictures and fills out the large Hilton Theatre stage.
I don't think the New York critics will like the show. There are aspects of Les Miz meets Riverdance meets Stomp meets Cats and I think that will be played up in reviews but if management works the publicity well I think the show will survive the bad reviews. There is a market for this kind of show. Riverdance was VERY successful in New York. The show begins previews tonight and opens in a month (April 5). We shall see how it all pans out on April 6.
-
Ah, syncronisity (or however you spell it).
I was just writing/posting the Pirate Queen review as you were asking me.
There it is!
-
I am the Pirate Queeeeeen....
No wait, that's a different show.
-
I'd be willing to bet that THE PIRATE QUEEN would be my second favorite pirate musical.
-
Good Morning! once again...
Well, I'm all dressed for my first day of rehearsal, and I'm almost all bundled up for my trek out into the cold. Layers galore.
DR Ben - Thanks for The Pirate Queen report. I think I'm seeing the show next week, so then we can compare notes as it were. *And I hope you didn't have to wait too long out in the cold last night to get into the Hilton. I passed the line as I was making my way to The Golden. I was thinking of looking for you and Ant, but it was too damn cold. ;)
-
OK... I'm off...
Laters...
-
I don't know if I like pirate musicals, but I sure like their costumes!
-
We were lucky. We entered on the 43rd Street side and were allowed to wait in the lobby. Since it was general admission seating we were there very early. The lobby soon became crowded though and the doors were half open with people both on the street and in the doorway, but luckily the theatre doors opened soon after that and the mad rush for seats began.
-
TOD:
Lordy, I have all kinds of clothing items that I've held onto for years! I have my brother-in-law's old National Guard jacket, which during my college years got me out of three speeding tickets. I also have this salt-and-pepper wool car coat that I wore during the 80s--a group of my friends and I all bought the same coat--I don't exactly remember why.
A friend who's sister was a surgeon once gave me some surgical whites, which I painstakingly disassembled, dyed the separate parts in bright primary colors and resewed together. I made three sets and wore them as loungewear. I still have one set.
I have a collection of B.D. Baggies casual dress shirts that I can't seem to part with. All worn out at the elbows, but they still have their vibrant colors and I'd like to recycle them somehow. Maybe if I ever take up quilting...
-
RE: HEROES
Wow! Wow! And WOW! What an episode! How are we gonna wait until April?
! ! ! ! ! SPOILER ALERT ! ! ! ! !
I have a theory! I believe that Grandmom Petrelli once worked for "The Company" but is now working against it. Furthermore, I'm willing to bet that while Nathan is her natural son, she "adopted" Peter much the same way that HRG "adopted" Claire. And it is because of an early manifestation of Peter's adaptive powers that he so resembles his mother and brother. This will clear the way for Peter and Claire to eventually hook up without it being unseemly. That is, if Peter lives through whatever Skyler puts him through...
When will April get here!
-
I would suggest this outfit as something DRS CILLA LIZ and LAURA might consider wearing in court.
I was thinking I would look stunning in this. Or maybe everyone else would be stunned.
-
Good morning!
Another beautiful day, another day that promises to be somewhat busy as I fetch my friend from the hospital and get him settled in back at home.
-
Really enjoyed your LEADING MEN interviews, DR Rodzinski. Keep 'em comin'!
-
With no recorded shows from last night, I'm free today to watch some DVDs.
I am going to take the Special Edition of PETER PAN off the shelf and watch it. The reviews of the latest Platinum Edition have sung its praises to the skies saying it is a marked improvement on the Special Edition, and I want to look at my copy and see if it's problematic enough to seek a replacement with this newer edition. I'm thinking it's going to look fine enough, even as much as I love the movie.
-
I will also watch the next MR. MOTO in the boxed set, chosen because they're all pretty brief in length, and I should be able to fit both of these films into the afternoon.
-
I have an old leather jacket, the first one I ever bought for myself - a brown bomber jacket that I bought one size larger at the time than I was wearing (size 40) so I would be sure to get a lot of wear out of it. Now, of course, I wear a size 44, so I can't even fit into the thing, but I can't seem to part with it. The knitted cuffs are just a tiny bit frayed, but the leather shell is still in immaculate condition, and it brings back memories of good times when I see it hanging in the coat closet.
-
Thanks for the report about AVENUE Q, DR Jose. When I saw the show a month after it won the Tony, I went in thinking it couldn't have deserved the prize over WICKED, but honestly, it was so much fun, so charming, so tuneful, so RIGHT that I could easily see why it won the award (I saw WICKED and THE BOY FROM OZ on that trip). Had I been a Tony voter, I probably would have voted for it, too.
-
Cilla-GREAT news about your boss & the possible future referrals!
I have had similar reactions to smoke from fires, sometimes lasting a couple of weeks. It depends how long I was exposed.
-
Re: "Heroes" and Linderman:
I can think of few actors they could have chosen to introduce Linderman -- who HAS to be perceived as powrful and dangerous, at a minimum -- who could have been as perfect as Malcolm McDowell, especially given the kitchen scene.
Joel Grey could have done it, too.
There is an underlying current of menace connected with the character now that might not have worked half so well with another actor.
-
For my birthday whien I was in high school, I asked my mother to make me a cape. Who knows why? It was black fabric with a slight fur texture and lined with red satin. I wore it a surprisng amount, even in college! Later, it was handy for Halloween. Still got it!
Glad you didn't throw it out. Halloween costumes defy all the rules of decluttering, IMHO.
(Can you tell I like Halloween?)
-
Cilla, Dakota & Sindgdaw, thank you for the vibes. Sherlock still isn’t walking right yet.
LOL Jose, not like hiking-right. Most of all he misses playing with the other dogs on the trail.
Rodzinsky, thanks for the vibes. It sounds as if you are having a good time in L.A.
-
I also can't give up the two H.S. chorus dresses my mother made for me. Double-knit fabric...ugly dresses that I can't seem to give up. No one would ever buy them at a consignment store or even Goodwill and they would probably get thrown out, which I couldn't bear the thought of, because...
my mother made them, with love. Argh.
How do people get rid of stuff like that? I really need to do some purging if we're ever going to move!
I have real trouble getting rid of things like that, too, EDI. One friend suggested I put aside a small box for "treasures." One small box wouldn't do it!!
-
Singdaw the quilt story is beautiful. I’m sure you will always cherish it.

What a wonderful idea! And what a thoughtful mother you have/had. I've often thought of recycling old favorites into a quilt, but never thought of using favorite tee-shirts.
-
Well, I eventually got over that "fear", and threw it out. But not before cutting it in half, and wrapping it up in multiple plastic bags.
::)
Oh, dear. BIG belly laugh on that one! I think that is the funniest toss/cull/purge/declutter story I've ever heard. That's priceless. But I do understand the sentiment behind it.
It's a good thing no one spotted you and called the police!
-
I have a Spandau Ballet T-shirt that I bought back in the 80s when that band was popular. I couldn't squeeze into to save my life, but still I keep it.
-
When I cleaned out my closet last summer - I threw away 15 bags of clothing....
15 bags? Oh, my God! I probably SHOULD do that, but I can't!
-
As a costumer (albeit amateur), I've got chests and closets full of clothes I can't part with -- might need it for some dramatic purpose at some point -- plus it doesn't help that I'm part pack-rat...
But like everyone else, T-shirts and shoes, but my oldest pieces would be:
a colorful little vest my grandmother gave me in elementary school at Christmas (I was so taken with it then that whenever I pull it out now, I just can't imagine giving it away -- besides I might have a little grand-daughter to give it to someday....)
my twirling costumes from high school
and this leather jacket my husband gave me in college circa 1970s -- multiple-piece, multi-colored thing -- that is most retro now -- Karen and the Amazing Multi-Colored Leathercoat ...
-
Matt H-Continued healing vibes at home for your friend.
Thank you, DR Jane. I just got a call from him. I'll be picking him up in about an hour, and he sounded relieved to finally be released.

Now, I'm going to head down and take care of a few things around the house before I go to meet Jeff.

DR Miss Karen, I just came up with a better answer to your question. About that upper fish on my avatar? It's just pixelated to protect you from the naughty bits!!
:o ...Whatever!! ... it definitely has some issues... :-\
-
OK , MBARNUM, here's an old story from my past that you might enjoy. Just thought of it last night:
There used to be a TV show starring Ida Lapino and Howard Duff, called MR ADAMS AND EVE. Their dressing room was a small--quite small--little structure with two rooms. Over one door was a sign, MR ADAMS, and, of course, over the other, EVE. After the show completed the dressing room was about to be broken down and trashed. My dad grabbed it, brought it home, and set it up in the back yard for me to use as a playhouse. Yes, a real star's (stars') dressing room. I was ten. And, yes, I could appreciate what it was and where it came from.
-
I have a Spandau Ballet T-shirt that I bought back in the 80s when that band was popular. I couldn't squeeze into to save my life, but still I keep it.
....Oh contraire, dearest MB......
You just let dear Elmo and I have you alone in a room for 30 minutes, and you'd come out of that room wearing your old T-shirt AND a smile!
And That T-shirt would be fitting on you like a second skin.... in the best tradition of 50s hunk & muscle movies! :)
-
Glad Cason made it back to L.A. safely.
Miss Karen at least you get to see your son often. In June Craig will have been in Romania 4 years. Twice we visited him & twice he returned home for short visits.
It looks as if he will be returning to the States just shy of his four year stay. He has been accepted into a graduate program at Carnegie-Mellon. Instead of beginning in September they accepted him for this May! Craig hasn’t heard back from the other schools he applied to, this was really fast. Not that it matters as CMU is his school of choice.

HEROES
You've got something against good food?
Linderman himself said that cooking was one of the few things in life where he could come close to perfection.
And Malcolm McDowell has had white hair for ages.
You DO know who Malcolm McDowell is, right?
I've seen him in a few things. But i'm not sure what specifically you're referring to.
I love good food!
I did not know who would be playing Linderman. And i guess i just pictured him differently. I can't imagine most people would have expected a white haired chef who seemed quite calm. He was just the complete opposite of what i was expecting.
-
And after my impulsive and cheeky post to dear MB.....
A GOOD MORNING to all of the sun-dried lovelies here today.
-
MR ADAMS AND EVE, another show I would like to see again. Jeanne, your stories are wonderful. I wish I had known you back then.
-
***FIRST DAY OF REHEARSAL VIBES*** for DR JoseSPiano
and continuing ***healing vibes*** for Sherlock.
Well, look at little junior there -- no longer a newbie and using that HHWer lingo like a pro (but couldn't help but notice no fancy "moving" graphics or verbage across the screen....)
-
All these stories of not being able to throw out old clothes really warm my heart. All those declutter folks make me feel that I'm derelict (well, maybe I am...). But it's not just about functionality, is it? Senitment has a place in life, I say. Memories are important.

MR ADAMS AND EVE, another show I would like to see again. Jeanne, your stories are wonderful. I wish I had known you back then.
Thank you, Jane. And we grew up so close to each other!

And dear Esteemed, rested, and cranium-filled BK --
Did a box from me arrive (hopefully) at your mail place on Saturday, and have you retrieved it? Just checking, so I don't have to file a claim against UPS.

Well i would be completely shocked if peter dies. I mean he is a fan favorite. Plus since he can heal himself and make himself invisible, i think it is highly unlikely that he is going anywhere.
While i would love an eventual peter and claire hookup. Then making him her uncle and then backtracking and making her only 15 (instead of the 17 many assumed she was) seems to indicate they do not want them together. I thought there chemistry was great and am just looking forward to seeing them in actual scenes together.
Oh and re: linderman, i do think it was great casting. It was surprising and really different. I loved it! I mean the way linderman has been portrayed (him ordering people dead ...) it just seemed like he would be mean. But how great for him to be differerent than we expected.

I've never been a shoe lover, but despite tossing all I can the last few years, I've been unable to go through and weed out my shoes. I have a small wardrobe of shoes in size 7 (I wear a 7 1/2) that I KNOW I'll never wear, but can't bear to toss. My friend Bart, who's much more hardhearted than I, told me recently that he has the same problem: he simply can't throw out old shoes!!
OK, H/Ks, who can think of a name for the inability to throw out old shoes???
-
For some reason, I was compelled to look up the following. I don't know why. But, here it is for you all to enjoy:
"I Married Joan" by Richard Mack
I married Joan
What a girl, what a whirl, what a life.
Oh I married Joan
What a mind, love is blind what a wife.
Giddy and gay, all day she keeps my heart laughin'
Never know where her brain has flown.
Each to his own
Can't deny that's why I married Joan.

I have a feeling Jose is going to have a fun interesting day.
Jeanne-There is always the possibility we did meet and will never know it.

Not that it matters as CMU is his school of choice.
Yes, we're lucky that he's not too far away. He's just so much fun to have around -- keeps me laughing.
In my best James Lipton voice: "He's delightful .... whimsical..."
And what great news about Craig. You must be proud -- Carnegie-Mellon, impressive -- not to mention MUCH closer than Romania...Congrats to Craig!

Thank you Miss Karen.
We are very excited and proud of him. Instead of two years for his Masters degree the school is taking into account his Peace Corps & work experience in Romania & offered a one year accelerated program.
This is all very sudden and exciting. Craig has much to think about and to do in a very short period of time. First he feels guilty having recently begun a new job. He needs housing. He has to bring his dog with him, his cat might wait until the summer. Plus he needs to figure out how to get his Romanian girl friend here. It is all very complicated.

Re: "Heroes" and Linderman:
I can think of few actors they could have chosen to introduce Linderman -- who HAS to be perceived as powrful and dangerous, at a minimum -- who could have been as perfect as Malcolm McDowell, especially given the kitchen scene.
Joel Grey could have done it, too.
There is an underlying current of menace connected with the character now that might not have worked half so well with another actor.
Exactly. From the very brief peek of him in the previews, I had been expecting a Brian Dennehy type as Linderman. I'm so glad that the creators went with McDowell instead.

I have a number of old Tshirts from my 4H days due to different conferences that I have not parted with.
North Dakota Centennial Jacket! I also realized when I was going through things last summer that I still have my highschool letter jacket. Kelly Green and Gold!
Two t-shirts from the 1997 flood up here: North Dakotans are not wimps and the other says "49 Feet My A$$" (National weather service kept saying the river was going to crest at 49 feet when it was already standing at 51 feet. It rose another three feet before it finally crested at 54.22 feet)
However, the most sentimental thing is a UND hockey jersey that belonged to a dear freind who died of AIDS back in 1989. His twin sister gave it to me as something to remember him by.

DR Miss Karen, I noted you have done costuming work. What shows have you worked on in the theatre?
Strictly community theatre, so I'm no pro, but love it. After 20 years of civic theatre, I've worked on tons of shows, but my favorites have to be children's theatre and period ones:
On the Town -- cause of all the 1950s period stuff (I love working with hats and accessories)
Driving Miss Daisy
Bell, Book and Candle -- cause we did it circa 1960s
Godspell
Tons of melodramas -- western styles and old-timey costumes which are fun to do
Hansel and Gretel
The Hobbit
Stone Soup
Little Hospital of Horrors -- an original musical that we did goth/horror style
The Butterfly -- the play I just completed -- lots of insects
and my most favorite was the one we did this past fall, the musical HONK!
(and I love dressing sets for the same reasons I enjoy costuming -- I think it's important to have an eye for detail -- I believe theatre is a total package and it bugs me to see crappy sets and costumes, and non-profit civic theatre is no excuse -- take the time to do it right) Opps, off the soapbox, Karen, she just wanted to know what plays you've costumed, not your theories on theatre.... :-X

and back to continue on these band parts!
Speaking of which:
I chatted up Alex's (4th grade Grandlad) Music teacher about the lessons to be offered next year. It is true that "keyboard" will not be an option. (I told her about Alex's Dad's refusal to allow him to play, in his house, any musical instrument that makes noise.) I have a fairly nice keyboard he could use with headphones to keep everybody happy. Well, all the instrument choices (Clarinet, Sax, French Horn, Flute, Trumpet, Drums) have no electronic counterparts (I know of).
She agrees that keyboards would answer the parental objection and also provide Alex with good grounding in music (a hell of a lot better than Drums!)
So what's the problem:
The school purchases their music arrangements in a band package which does not include keyboard charts!
I told her I would pay for the music if she could acquire it.
She will investigate.
(I think I worked a successful guilt/sympathy trip on her.)

OK , MBARNUM, here's an old story from my past that you might enjoy. Just thought of it last night:
There used to be a TV show starring Ida Lapino and Howard Duff, called MR ADAMS AND EVE. Their dressing room was a small--quite small--little structure with two rooms. Over one door was a sign, MR ADAMS, and, of course, over the other, EVE. After the show completed the dressing room was about to be broken down and trashed. My dad grabbed it, brought it home, and set it up in the back yard for me to use as a playhouse. Yes, a real star's (stars') dressing room. I was ten. And, yes, I could appreciate what it was and where it came from.
I love it! Does the playhouse still exist? And did you ever go into your "dressing room" and refuse to come out until all of your on-set demands were met?

OK, H/Ks, who can think of a name for the inability to throw out old shoes???

DrBrucer-Good luck with the music teacher. I think you might have found an excellent solution.
Craig wanted to learn to play the sax in the elementary school music class. It wasn’t an option for first year students & he was forced to play the flute, I think it was the flute. He wasn’t overly interested & the dogs couldn’t tolerate the high pitch so he couldn’t practice at home. Needless to say he was lucky to pass the course & only because he played the piano & could read notes.

(And, yes, I know where all of your little Hainsie/Kimlet minds just went, so don't even...)

When I was in Camelot, the theater rented all the costumes from Western, my Mordred black cape had Vincent Price's name it in.

For the record, I had one slice of plain and one of Ultra Vegetarian.
Speaking of pizza:
Pizza Hut runs a promotion "Book IT" whereby if grade-school kids read a certain number of books that get a certificate for a free Personal Pan Pizza. The Grandlads thought this was great, and their fridge at home is covered with earned coupons. Their Dad says Pizza Hut products disagree with him - he gobbles up pizza from other places - so the kids never get to Pizza Hut to redeem their hard earned prize - Good Job NOT, Dad!
I said I'd give them a treat and take them to Pizza Hut. Well apparently there has also been a big ad campaign about Cheesy-Bite Pizzas from Pizza hut, and there were big promotional signage at the store. They youngest, William, age 6) - started rhapsodizing over the potential for Cheesy Bites! Now, how to do tell a kid "Can it, your hard earned prize doesn't come with Cheesy-Bites!" Of course, the only way you can get Cheesy-Bites is to order a Large Cheesy-Bite pizza!
(http://www.pizzahutpizza.com/images/special/cheesybites2.jpg)
So Grandpa took a swig of his Michelob, and ordered one to "share". William was delighted; his older Brother "I HATE reading" Alex had his head so thoroughly buried in a book that he didn't care. (I won't allow then to bring their Game Boys into a restaurant, but they may bring a book.) I also asked William if he's like a salad and he jumped for joy. (Mr. Perfect Dad will not buy the kid a salad because it doesn't come with the meal - and William really does like green salads!)

I'm not sure, but our director opted for circa 1950, so 1950s she and the characters got...
The original was set in 1930 with flashbacks to pre-WW1.
On character dies of a war injury.
You could easily move the play to 1955 with flashbacks to pre WWII.
Govers Corners has to maintain a degree in innocence - moving the 30s to Donna Reed's 50s would work, but I think setting the play in the 1990s with returns to Viet Nam would not.

The problem that I had with the Book It program when my kids were in school is that Pizza Hut was a sit-down place. If they used their rewards, then the adult needed to order a meal from the menu, and we couldn't always afford to do that. It was too expensive to use the free coupons!

DR DerBrucer, have you ever seen the "Hank the Cowdog" series? Very cute books, told from the ranch dog's viewpoint. There are many in the series, and they are short chapter books.

Good Afternoon!
It was indeed a very fun and interesting first day of rehearsal. We started off with a "meet and greet", then after a short break, we did a read-thru. The usual stuff for the first day.
The "Antrobus family" was called today, and the remainder of the cast will start next week - including Ms. Kitt. And I don't think I mentioned it before, but Yvette Freeman is playing Mrs. Antrobus. It truly is quite the cast!

I love it! Does the playhouse still exist? And did you ever go into your "dressing room" and refuse to come out until all of your on-set demands were met?
The playhouse no longer exists. I already had a playhouse--the one I used as a "spook house" (this was in the 1950's, folks, so no misinterpretations) at Halloween--and didn't really need a second one. Plus, the dressing room was bare and one's imagination only goes so far--or mine did. I was not the sort of little girl to make demands--this was pre-Women's Lib. Besides, I appreciated my dad bringing it home for me. So, no, I was not acting the prima donna.

Since All About Us is another Kander & Ebb piece, Mr. Kander's current assistant was there this morning. He'll be double-duty over the next few weeks between both projects. -And we had good chat about how the show, Curtains that is, is coming together.

Great story, DR JEANNE. Thanks for sharing. I loved MR ADAMS AND EVE, although even then, I didn't think Ida Lupino was so hot at comedy....I guess Lucy and Joan and Gale had spoiled me for anyone else.

Hmmm...doesn't ON THE TOWN take place during WWII? Or does it? I don't remember it making any specific war references, come to think of it.
I'm not sure, but our director opted for circa 1950, so 1950s she and the characters got...

One really cool, for lack of a better word, thing about this production is that Thornton Wilder's nephew will be coming in throughout the rehearsal process to check in on things. -He is now the "protector" of the Wilder Estate as it were. Apparently, he has tons of memorabilia that he'll bringing to share with the company. I'm really looking forward to checking out some of the materials he'll be bringing in.
And one neat bit of Thornton Wilder Trivia...
When The Skin of Our Teeth was presented at Westport Country Playhouse, Thornton Wilder, himself, played Mr. Antrobus. -To which Shuler Hensley replied, "No pressure."

In other news...
I'm actually feeling a bit run down, most likely a result of the crazy weather and ever-changing temps over the past couple of days. My sinuses seem to be full. I was invited to stay for the initial music rehearsal this afternoon, but since the conductor and his assistant were both there today, I would have been just another body in the room... So, I headed home. Well, actually, I headed over to Whole Foods to stock up on protein bars for upcoming days of auditions, as well as some packets of instant oatmeal for my hotel room.
I'm just going over my various lists to make sure I have everything set for the next couple of days, and I'm gonna try to pack my luggage sometime in the next few hours so that I can just relax and sleep later tonight. -I hope to leave for the airport a little after 6:00am.

DR JRand - Seriously...
It's about Life. Good and Evil. Family. From Creation through the Ice Age, The Deluge and the End(?) of the World. Admittedly, it's a lot of stuff to cover in three acts, but Wilder does it and in a very compact and unique way. Even the breaking of the fourth wall, which is more or less commonplace nowadays, still seems fresh and startling at times. -To me at least.
When was the last time you read the play? Wilder made some tweaks - very small ones - to the play throughout the years, but at one point and time, there were actually two different versions in print at the same time. Again, the tweaks were small with the most notable alteration in the Henry's breakdown in the third act), but I think they do make a difference in the end.
It's also one of those plays that plays better than it reads. Did you ever catch the Old Globe Production that Jack O'Brien directed when it was on PBS' "American Playhouse"? That's how I was introduced to the play, and I was so happy when it finally was made available on VHS (and DVD) as part of the Broadway Archive series. There are some fanciful moments here and there, and even some slight liberties taken with Wilder's text, but the play is there in spades, and it communicates Wilder's message quite effectively.

Thanks for the report about AVENUE Q, DR Jose. When I saw the show a month after it won the Tony, I went in thinking it couldn't have deserved the prize over WICKED, but honestly, it was so much fun, so charming, so tuneful, so RIGHT that I could easily see why it won the award (I saw WICKED and THE BOY FROM OZ on that trip). Had I been a Tony voter, I probably would have voted for it, too.
I was fortunate to see all the Tony nominated musicals that season - actually three of them in one week as it would turn out. And, yes, I thought Avenue Q truly was the best of the bunch. *And I even happened to be lucky enough to see Wicked when both Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth were both in. ;)

OK , MBARNUM, here's an old story from my past that you might enjoy. Just thought of it last night:
There used to be a TV show starring Ida Lapino and Howard Duff, called MR ADAMS AND EVE. Their dressing room was a small--quite small--little structure with two rooms. Over one door was a sign, MR ADAMS, and, of course, over the other, EVE. After the show completed the dressing room was about to be broken down and trashed. My dad grabbed it, brought it home, and set it up in the back yard for me to use as a playhouse. Yes, a real star's (stars') dressing room. I was ten. And, yes, I could appreciate what it was and where it came from.
That's a wonderful story, wonderful memory, DR Jeanne. Thanks for sharing.

I've never been a shoe lover, but despite tossing all I can the last few years, I've been unable to go through and weed out my shoes. I have a small wardrobe of shoes in size 7 (I wear a 7 1/2) that I KNOW I'll never wear, but can't bear to toss. My friend Bart, who's much more hardhearted than I, told me recently that he has the same problem: he simply can't throw out old shoes!!
OK, H/Ks, who can think of a name for the inability to throw out old shoes???
I, too, like to keep shoes for as long as possible. Even if I don't wear them anymore. However, ever since I moved out of Richmond, I do try to throw out my old New Balance sneakers and running shoes, but mainly because they're no longer good for my feet (and legs and back).
Right now, I think I have about 15 pairs of shoes (sneakers, dress shoes, etc.), but I only really wear four pairs regularly. -Which also means some of my older shoes are still in good shape since they've never been worn that much. ;)

When I cleaned out my closet last summer - I threw away 15 bags of clothing....I didn't even look at a lot of the stuff (and I didn't want to see any of it onstage) - gone. Not even worth taking to the thrift store....believe me. I think many t shirts went in those bags.....
15 bags? Oh, my God! I probably SHOULD do that, but I can't!
My sister's boyfriend's late mother was a complete pack-rat. After she died, my mom went to help clean up her house and just from her bedroom alone, my mom filled 44 (that's right 44!!) 35-gallon-sized garbage bags with clothes...that's just from her bedroom! Her whole house was filled with EVERYTHING. She had trails throughout the house in between everything that was piled up in all of the rooms. Even holes in the walls got filled with things that she kept. She literally could not throw anything away.

Since Jeff was delayed so long, I was able to squeeze in some viewing.

I watched the featurette on "The End of Moto" which was a mini-history lesson about US-Japan relations. I certainly did learn some things I didn't kow about other MOTO films, especially the 1957 one with Robert Wagner in which the Moto character was removed.

I did have time to watch about 25 minutes of PETER PAN. This is the Special Edition of the movie, and (like the Five Star Collection version of THE SOUND OF MUSIC) it looks just fine on my equipment, so I'm not upgrading.

If I buy PETER PAN again, it will have to be on Blu-ray in a high definition format.

DR Jose - does the revised "Over & Over" retain the "Eat The Ice Cream" song?. There are not enough songs about the major food groups.
-
Speaking of which:
I chatted up Alex's (4th grade Grandlad) Music teacher about the lessons to be offered next year. It is true that "keyboard" will not be an option. (I told her about Alex's Dad's refusal to allow him to play, in his house, any musical instrument that makes noise.) I have a fairly nice keyboard he could use with headphones to keep everybody happy. Well, all the instrument choices (Clarinet, Sax, French Horn, Flute, Trumpet, Drums) have no electronic counterparts (I know of).
She agrees that keyboards would answer the parental objection and also provide Alex with good grounding in music (a hell of a lot better than Drums!)
So what's the problem:
The school purchases their music arrangements in a band package which does not include keyboard charts!
I told her I would pay for the music if she could acquire it.
She will investigate.
(I think I worked a successful guilt/sympathy trip on her.)
der Brucer
Hmmm...
Having had quite a bit of experience as a print music buyer, I'd have to question the lack of band packages that do not include keyboard parts. Heck, even some "band" method books include keyboard/piano parts nowadays. -Alas, this is mainly due to the fact that a lot of schools have to supplement the sound of their school band with a piano or keyboard.
Many band sets will include a "piano accompaniment" part, but that part is usually meant to be played by the teacher since it is an "advanced" part. However, that does not rule out the possibility that a student could just play the left hand or right hand part - or better yet, having two students play the one part as a duet.
Another option to explore would be to see if there is a melodic/mallet percussion book/part as part of the set and teaching materials. Yes, it would mean that the student would be playing a single line (from a glockenspiel, xylophone, marimba, and/or bell part), but that part could also be played in octaves by both hands. And if the school happened to have a keyboard/synth, and no mallet percussion instruments, well, then the parts could be played on the electronic keyboard, and sound - almost sound - like the real thing.
*And if the student needed some additional practice reading and playing bass clef, there's also the possibility of doubling the bass parts on the piano too.

WHAT a day. Holy moley on rye. I went to my meeting, parking on the corner of Tujunga and Moorpark, where they were doing that annoying thing of shooting a movie. Kirby was running late, so Joan and I did what we had to do. I then had to go put money in the meter. When I'd parked, I was behind a fire truck (they were having lunch) and I'd misjudged how close I was to the curb. So, I went to move my car closer to the curb. Turned the key. Nada. Squat. Nothing. Dead. As a doornail, and I think we all know how dead a doornail is. It so disgruntles me to have a working car one minute and a non-working car moments later. I called the auto club and a half-hour later they showed up. He looked at the battery and ascertained that the terminal had corroded beyond corrosion. I could see it plainly - tons of white around the terminal connection. He cleaned it a bit and managed to get the car started. I asked him if I was safe to be able to go the mile to my local station where I attend to car matters. He said no prob. He left. The minute I pulled away from the curb I knew that there WAS a prob - I could hear the battery fighting to hold the connection from the terminal. I prayed I could go the mile without dying. I went six blocks and that was that. I looked at the terminal and the bloody connector, which is normally about a half-inch or more thick, had corroded to a sliver of metal and having cleaned all that white corrosion away, the metal wasn't even touching the battery connector. Another half-hour to get them back to me, then I was towed to my local station. He fixed the terminal right away, then I had him check the battery to see how much life it had left (I last replaced the battery four years ago - I'm sure it's in these here notes somewhere) - he hooked it up to a machine and it was very low in juice - he said maybe I had a month maybe I had a day. Obviously, I put a new battery in and now with the new terminal everything is fine and dandy with the motor car. And that's been my day. I shall now read through my pages, fix and smooth, then print them out so I can get them to my muse Margaret in the morning. I also have to print out a Brain script to send to a producer.

Thanks for helping out ol' Cro-Magnon Mammy with the artwork....although if I can be picky I had envisoned him actually dancing across the page.. I know, I know, learn how to do your own damn artwork, right?

OH!
Besides the 'celebrities' that were in the same rehearsal room I was in, there happened to be on other 'celebrity' waiting in the halls, apparently waiting to go into an audition: Miss "Grease: YTOTIW" Herself, Ashley A.
At least it's good to know she's still out there hoping to be the one that someone wants. ;)

is it just me, or does this particular Uncle Sam resemble DR der Brucer (minus a few years....)...
-
...and some people can't even give it away.....
Why did I just raise my hand?
-
And not a single word about my attic collection of double knit leisure suits, garish polyester shirts, and appropriate accessories (beads, rings, bracelets, etc).
I also have boxes and boxes, and more boxes, of T-Shirts (Shows, Destinations, Humor, and Gay Bars - world wide!)

It's true, our attic is haunted!

That was of course an attempt to reference the Caterina Valente posts from two weeks back.

Thank you DR RLP for the "High Hopes" reference. We live in the high hopes that someone will read our posts. DR TCB no doubt still wishes that Eddie will knock and ring and tap on his door.
-
Don't bet on it! My little mind recalled the cute red woolen swimsuit with the blue and white sailboat on the chest I had as a pre-schooler. I actually saved it all these years, and my daughter now has it.
Note to historians: When I was a pre-schooler it was illegal for men of any age to appear on the beach with exposed nipples.

But, a lot of those laws did change after the Civil War.

Hi TCB :D

I keep thinking it looks like a conch shell.
A zebra-iced madeline?
-
Eddie Hodges and Allison Hayes share a birthdate?
-
We're STILL on page twelve? I've been to Staples, printed out a couple of Brain scripts (with alien-green covers), printed out reviews and press stuff, and also copied the new forty-five pages of the new book for Margaret.
-
Car troubles are for the birds. If you buy a PT Cruiser, expect to have to replace the wheel bearings within the first 18 months. Under warranty, but still irritating.
-
Maybe I haven't seen a good production of THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH.
I shall look for one, which will certainly change my opinion of said play.
-
I was fortunate to see all the Tony nominated musicals that season - actually three of them in one week as it would turn out. And, yes, I thought Avenue Q truly was the best of the bunch. *And I even happened to be lucky enough to see Wicked when both Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth were both in. ;)
Wow! That was almost as rare as seeing LESTAT when it was popular. ;D
-
March 5th is the Eddie Hodges birthdate. I think I read the information when it was my yesterday but not yours. It's all so confusing. The birthday of Allison Hayes was of course yesterday. Or that maybe today.
Today's birthday is that of Danyel Gérard. He had a world wide hit with "Butterfly" - a reference to earlier posts. Caterina Valente also sang his compositions.
This is a site for the well-informed reader.

Oh I'm glad I'm not an Oscar Meyer weiner
That is what I'd never want to be

There would soon be nothing left of me.

By today I mean your tomorrow. My tomorrow is the birthday of Mickey Dolenz.
-
BUSY day at work. Plus I told the people in Sioux City I was leaving...well all but Bob. He's at a meeting in Phoenix, so he'll hear when he gets back.
-
They were surprised, but happy...for me and probably for themselves, lol
-
I am getting so much support from people. The bilingual receptionist from the law firm across the hall said "I'm going to give you my resume....I want to work with YOU"
So, it's strange for something I've been quietly working on to suddenly become the topic of conversation.
-
Thank you, DR TOMovOZ - for the clarification.
Notwithstanding your information, however....Mr Hodges is still 60 years old, and Ms. Hayes is still dead.
-
Well, I was quite surprised when I moved out of my apartment in Richmond that I ended up with 12 bags of clothes for Diversity Thrift and/or the trash. -And I've never thought of myself as a "clothes hog", "clothes whore", "clothes whatever-you-want-to-call-it".
And it was all black!!!!!
(Whoda thunk our DR Jose was a goth!)
-
I think I have a copy of TEETH around here, perhaps I shall read it tonight with an open mind.

My throat was still very sore today and I've been coughing a lot. I can't tell if it's a cold or if it's something else

But from the stories you have hinted at, I am sure you have done so before.
Mike, that is something that would be easier to demonstrate, than explain! ;)

*And I even happened to be lucky enough to see Wicked when both Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth were both in. ;)
I was uber lucky to have seen it ith full original cast, as it was my first bradway experiance. Unfortunatly Avenue Q has been a part of my life on cd only, but boy do I wish I had gone too see it when I had the chance - before everyone liked it!
-
Cilla, any progress? :-)
I shall shortly be on my way to sup and see a French movie.

Good luck DR Cillaliz, I hope you stay in discussion and don't get sick!!

Oddly enough, the first times I heard either of those shows on CD, I was underwhelmed...but I gave them a little time and recently came back to them - and of course, now understand their respective brilliance.

I just thought I'd pop in for a minute before doing some evening things. The Living Room is certainly populated with a festive and Esteemed group at the moment....... starting with the Grande Mensch himself, and then a virtual "Who's Who" of Hainsies and Kimlets .
And thanks BK for letting me know about the box; I'm glad there was no mess-up with your private mail place.
-
Hi DR Cilla.... I sure hope you feel back to 100% very soon.... I send you a big hug!
-
I think I have died and gone to heaven! When I got home from work, there was my very own copy of THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X - complete with an actual Cason Murphy autograph!!!
Oh, yeah, and a couple of other equally cool people's autographs!
-
I am very much enjoying watching PETER PAN again, so when I got back down, I will finish it. It's a beautifully made film, and the score is a tonic.
I've been wondering about upgrading - I may save the money.
BTW, the Disney Channel showed Hercules yesterday, and I watched. I'd forgotten how much I'd enjoyed this film when it first came out.

Winning points all the time, TCB. Between you and DR singdaw, we've got a regular ego-stroking contest here.
(Ego-stroking, I said, EGO-stroking!)
-
I should have had my copy of "The Brain"arrive by now but the LA shipping department became confused by the order originating from France. Dispatch people are very easily confused.
-
Hi DR Cilla.... I sure hope you feel back to 100% very soon.... I send you a big hug!
How sweet, thank you. My advice is if you see a cloud of smoke from a burning house covering the road....don't roll your window down as you drive through.

That is really weird, Cason. I named mine too.

My Brain wasn't signed by anybody! And only DR Ginny asked me to sign hers.
-
Oh Lar, I would love to have you sign mine!
-
Excuse me. I asked you to sign mine. I will forgive you since you have had more important things on your mind lately. :)
-
That is really weird, Cason. I named mine too.
:o Whatever floats your boat. ;)
;D
-
That is a very nice compliment. Have you been looking into employee benefits & insurance, etc?
LOL, I'm not looking for an employee yet. I'm going to do my own work until things get busy enough to justify hiring help, then I'll hire a paralegal.
-
I hope you will need that paralegal very quickly.
-
I have beets roasting merrily in the oven. When they're ready, I'll poach a couple of chicken breasts, and then use the poaching liquid to hydrate the tri-color couscous and then use some of the juice from the beets to add just a little more color to the couscous. It should be a very pretty plate.
Actually, two plates, one for each of us. ::)
-
I hope you will need that paralegal very quickly.
Thanks! And congrats on Craig coming home early.
-
And the temperature outside has been quite chilly all day today. A couple of days ago, it was quite spring-like, now we're dipping back into winter.
And snow is predicted for tomorrow. I certainly hope so - usually, one of the other cashiers calls out, and I get called in, and I can use the extra income.
-
That reminds me, it sounds like the nice weather in NYC got on the plane and left with me....sorry ;)
-
I need to go find something to medicate myself.
-
Thanks Cilla. Craig might be back in this country, but he will still be a long way off from us & will be very busy studying. I’m ready to meet him at the plane when he arrives, Keith is rolling his eyes saying Craig might want to do this on his own.
Feel better.
-

What do I know? I'm still in mourning.

I blame Jose.

DR Cillaliz, if that house had vinyl siding, that can be extremely irritating (and not just aesthetically!). I hope you feel better soon!
-
DR Jose, I'm sure you will be busy socializing Thursday night, but if not, how would you like to end up in The Graveyard?
We have a lot of puppeteer friends (Greg worked on several TV series involving puppets) and every few months or so we get together for "puppet beer night". (Some of the puppeteers may be presenting at the conference, too.) The husband of one of the puppeteers had always dreamed of opening his own restaurant/bar (he's a wonderful cook) and has now done it. We have friends who live near there and they all love The Graveyard. We'd love to have you join us there, if you like. We're meeting at 8, and I could always break away and pick you up. It's not to far from where you are, but not in a walking sort of way...

Do put us on your dance card as a fall back!

Jane, that's great news about Craig! I hope the whole posse will be together soon. (Especially the kitty!) ;D

DRelmore, I know. And I asked you so long ago.
-

That sounds pretty wonderful...and I HATE beets! (I think they taste like dirt.)
-
I blame Jose.
Jose is smart enough to migrate South for warmer (sorta) weather and sunny blue skies!
-
Edi-lol. Kitty will miss Craig if she is left behind. The pets are really his more than the girlfriend's, even though the girlfriend rescued Kitty (the nickname that stuck-easier to say than her original Romanian name). The dog they found on their doorstep but he is too much for her to handle.
-
I think I have a copy of TEETH around here
Have you checked the glass on your nightstand?
-
My Brain wasn't signed by anybody! And only DR Ginny asked me to sign hers.
Will you sign my copy when I'm in NY?
-
Edi-lol. Kitty will miss Craig if she is left behind. The pets are really his more than the girlfriend's, even though the girlfriend rescued Kitty (the nickname that stuck-easier to say than her original Romanian name).
Maybe she was named after Kitty on THE CLOSER. Who knew that they would have TNT in Romania? (The network that is...)
-
Car troubles are for the birds. If you buy a PT Cruiser, expect to have to replace the wheel bearings within the first 18 months. Under warranty, but still irritating.
I almost bought one when they first came out but then my practical side won out and I got another Corolla. My previous one is 17 years old and still has the original clutch! (Maybe I should have used it?) :)
-
DR Cillaliz, if that house had vinyl siding, that can be extremely irritating (and not just aesthetically!). I hope you feel better soon!
Nah, it was an old house. It was an attic fire, so who knows what was up there. There is also the possibility that I caught a cold on my trip. I didn't sleep that well. I'm used to silence when I sleep. I turned on the fan in the room for white noise, but I woke up several times during the night every night. I'll be fine, I'm just whining
-
By today I mean your tomorrow. My tomorrow is the birthday of Mickey Dolenz.
Happy Birthday to Mickey, my favorite Monkee! (in my youth...)
-
I'm used to silence when I sleep.
When I am at the Edison, I usually sleep with the windows open because I hate stuffy rooms. I wonder if that no honking ordinance has helped quiet things down? I remember working in an editing room at Times Square (above Sbarro) and every afternoon around 5, horns would be blaring for hours. What's the point? Nobody's going anywhere!
-
Ok, off to find medication and then do research for BK before he gets home....
-
Another option to explore would be to see if there is a melodic/mallet percussion book/part as part of the set and teaching materials. Yes, it would mean that the student would be playing a single line (from a glockenspiel, xylophone, marimba, and/or bell part), but that part could also be played in octaves by both hands. And if the school happened to have a keyboard/synth, and no mallet percussion instruments, well, then the parts could be played on the electronic keyboard, and sound - almost sound - like the real thing.
*And if the student needed some additional practice reading and playing bass clef, there's also the possibility of doubling the bass parts on the piano too.
Both great ideas!
I wanted to be in marching band, but that's hard with a piano, so I learned how to play the bells. It's a pretty easy transition, but still, if you can't play in the house...
The lads' parents sound so selfish! They are sure lucky to at least have a Grandpa to treat them so well!
-
I once ate an entire Carnegie Melon. It was very sweet, but it, also, made me think.!
LOL, TCB! :D
-
Edi-Originally her name was Dr. Tsutsu and Miss Pooh to reflect her Dr Jeckel & Mr Hyde personality. Her nickname was Kitkat until his girlfriend tasted a kitkat and didn’t care for it. Now she is just Kitty. I don’t remember what tsutsu means in Romanian. Maybe you can ask your hairdresser.
-
So far it will be just me, Laurie Mitchell, and Traci Lords.
I worked on a movie with Traci Lords. She was a trip! You should ask her about how she liked making FAST FOOD in Georgia. (The movie, that is...)
-
So far it will be just me, Laurie Mitchell, and Traci Lords.
Kinky! ;D

DR Jane - Congrats to Craig! Any chance he could bring over that hairdresser with him? ;)

Good Evening!
Well, I've been taking care of little things here and there, as well as taking a few cat naps and breaks over the past few hours, and I'm happy to say I'm feeling much better. Much better.
Basically, I just have to pack my luggage - which really shouldn't take too long - and then straighten up my desk, and that's about it. So, I should be in bed by midnight. -I would go to bed earlier, but that never happens, so...
-
I thought elmore3003 was the expert on hands.
Ahem... <cough, cough>...
-Just ask DR MBarnum. ;)
-
-Did I really just own up to that?
;D

G'night, all!

As for "American Idol"...
For once, the judges were basically all in agreement. Even Paula seemed to be trying very hard to be positive tonight. All in all, a good hour. Not a great hour. Just a bunch of good performances.
-
'night
-
As for tonight's "House".
Very good episode. And one that sort of hit close to home for me. And both stories were quite riveting, and it was actually hard to tell which one was the "A" story, and which one was the "B" story. I thought they were both "A" stories.
-
DR edisaurus - Hmm... I'll see what my callbacks situation looks like. If I end up being free, I may just join you and your gang. -I may not be able to get away until 9:00 - would that still work out?

-
DR Jose---you can just visit Marius at his salon when you're in Atlanta.
P.S. He's VERY cute!
Well, I was thinking more of DR Jane since she had such a good shampoo and scalp massage while in Roumania.

Hmm... Wouldn't the beet juice color the tri-color couscous uni-color? Or are you going for a gradated effect?
-
Yesteday, Toni and Brandon found two keys in the sand on the playground. The whole class was VERY excited about it. They all rushed over to the gate and took turns trying the keys. Unfortunately, neither one opened the gate.
The Slinkies remain at large.
-
DR Cillaliz - Hope you feel better soon. A lot of people - myself included - seemed to have come down with some sort of "irritation" after this weekend's weather. Hopefully, another good night's sleep will take care of the rest of the annoyance. (for both of us)
-

A likely story. ;) I won't be watching it. The first time that I'd ever heard of them was when they were guest performers on "Las Vegas." I didn't realize that they were a real group. I just thought...I don't know what I thought. :P
-
Hmm... Wouldn't the beet juice color the tri-color couscous uni-color? Or are you going for a gradated effect?
There wasn't that much beet juice, and the tri-color couscous' three colors each turned a different shade of pink upon absorbing the juice.
Better yet was the lemon zest I stirred into the couscous, giving it great flavor and tang.
-
Well...I'm off. I might as well buy a Mega-Millions ticket. Like they say for the Washington State Lottery (or is it the Lotto's slogan?): You can't win if you don't play. :)
-
Hey Jose! Weren't we going to go in together on that Mega-Millions ticket?
-
Very true... I play Powerball and an occaisional other game..
-
I should get myself to bed. I got up way too early this morning. Bleh.
Maybe tomorrow morning we'll have white stuff all over the ground!
-
SWW, I am willing to send some of mine...
-
As for tonight's "House".

Damn! I forgot all about HOUSE tonight! I wanted to see it 'cause Dave Matthews was guest starring. I'll have to wait for the rerun.
-
I bought five dollars' worth of Mega Millions tickets so I'm bound to win!
-
Do you have the winning MegaMillions ticket?
5 of them!
GOOD LUCK, JOSE!!!
MAKE YOUR OWN LUCK!!!

DR edisaurus - Anyone interesting playing The Tabernacle this week?
Taylor Hicks on Friday. Isn't he from A.I.?

-
DR edisaurus - Hmm... I'll see what my callbacks situation looks like. If I end up being free, I may just join you and your gang. -I may not be able to get away until 9:00 - would that still work out?
Absolutely! I'm sure we'll be there until 10:30-11. If you want us to pick you up you would do best to call Greg's phone as he keeps his on the vibrate mode. It may be too noisy for me to hear mine. If you take a cab there then we coud drop you back at the hotel whenever you're ready to go... They all would love to meet you!
-
As you probably know, puppeteers are a special breed...
-
Have a fabulous time Jose and Edi!
-
Well, I was thinking more of DR Jane since she had such a good shampoo and scalp massage while in Roumania.
And Marius is my Roumanian hairdresser who does wonderful shampoo and scalp massage. He's head and shoulders above all others in the US (IMHO)!
-
Have a fabulous time Jose and Edi!
Thanks, DR Cillaliz. Feeling better yet?
-
Hmm Taylor Hicks is coming here on the 24th
And I know where he's playing! :)
-
Thanks, DR Cillaliz. Feeling better yet?
No, not really. The NyQuil helped last night, so I'm about to crank up the humidifier, take a big shot of Nyquil and head to bed. I think if I get a good night sleep tonight I'll be a lot better tomorrow.
-
And I know where he's playing! :)
Yup! He must not be expecting a big enough crowd to play the events center, so the Orpheum it is
-
Taylor Hicks on Friday. Isn't he from A.I.?
Yes, he is

I'm really hoping I don't have another musical theater dream tonight. It's been two nights in a row. Last night the sets were really cool, but I'm ready to dream about something else!
-

Nothing could be as classy as the Orpheum. Maybe he would just prefer to play there!
-
I'm really hoping I don't have another musical theater dream tonight. It's been two nights in a row. Last night the sets were really cool, but I'm ready to dream about something else!
Did you dream you were on stage but didn't know your part? I HATE that one!
-
Nothing could be as classy as the Orpheum. Maybe he would just prefer to play there!
That's true, it's an incredible theater. I love to go there and just look around. My friend Paul is in the doc I sent you. I can't remember what he's painting or exactly where he is in it.
-
Did you dream you were on stage but didn't know your part? I HATE that one!
No, both nights I was sort of watching. I supposed some would see it as inspiration, it just sort of wore me out because in the dream I was tired and wanted to sleep but I was in the theater and the music was keeping me awake.
-
I had a fun thing happen this morning. For some reason I wanted to run into my friend Al - he's a lawyer and someone I've known for about 20 years or so. As I pulled up in front of the coffee shop I always go to and he goes to every now and then...I said out loud "If there's a God, Al will be in there" (Call me sacreligious, but it's what I said) I walked in and there he was! He asked if I had time to sit for a minute and I said no but I would anyway. He said the same thing and it was a really nice way to start the day.
-
And believe it or not he's straight and single. - Not that I'm interested or anything ;)
-
Will we never get to page thirteen?
I'm sure it will happen.
-
He said the same thing and it was a really nice way to start the day.
We start every day with a visit to our coffee roaster on the square, a few blocks from here. If I'm working, Greg will usually go and pick up coffee for us. Very rarely I pick up for him, because if he' has a shoot, he usually leaves at some ungodly hour. But it's a necessity to get our day going and the baristas are part of our extended family and often house/cat sit for us.
-
And believe it or not he's straight and single.
Maybe he's been waiting...for you! :)
-
Oh, I start the day there quite often...I wasn't just talking about having coffee being nice.
-
Maybe he's been waiting...for you! :)
Well the same days I was in New York he was in New Orleans. We both went somewhere "new" during the blizzard here
-
I am so entertained by watching the cats fight over the heater. One will be there and then another will come up and be very friendly, lick the other cat and then try to curl up with it, while at the same time shoving it out of the way. They all do this and sometimes it will end up in a fight, but usually it will just be a big pile o' cats.

Damn! I forgot all about HOUSE tonight! I wanted to see it 'cause Dave Matthews was guest starring. I'll have to wait for the rerun.
It was one of my favorite episodes of the season, and who knew that Dave Matthews had that kind of performance in him! I was VERY impressed! Great show tonight.
-
Well the same days I was in New York he was in New Orleans. We both went somewhere "new" during the blizzard here
DH just got a call to work on New Orleans and in Mississippi at the end of the week. Wish I could go, and see if my old house made it through the hurricanes.
-
Well, I'd better get my beauty sleep---an important celebrity is visiting Atlanta tomorrow!
-
Maybe I had better check the mega millions. Maybe I don't need to set my alarm!

I finished up PETER PAN when I went downstairs. Nope, I really think the quality of the 2002 DVD will suit me just fine until Disney sees fit to release a high definition version of it (which may be many years down the line).
All of the reviewers have raved about the quality of the new release, how it's a giant step up from the Special Edition that I have, and it may look a bit sharper and smoother since it's a two disc set, and the first disc has the film and a commentary on it, and that's all, so all the space available can be given over to the high bit rates for the DVD transfer. From the screen grabs I've seen on various sites where the two are compared, it looks like Disney has toned the color down just a touch.
But I've already bought PETER PAN on VHS, laserdisc, and now DVD in 2002. I may buy it one more time, but it won't be another standard definition DVD.
-
Safe travel vibes to Jose!
-
I put in THE MUSIC MAN to take me up to prime time TV. I hadn't seen the DVD in a couple of years, and it definitely needs a newly remastered edition. Some of it looks great, but some scenes look just a bit washed out.
I read that Warner is planning a Blu-ray version of the film for either late this year or next year, so I'll be happy to upgrade to that.
-
The men had another off night for me tonight on IDOL. I wasn't blown away with anyone's performance, and even the couple of above average renditions tonight - Chris S. and Blake - didn't match what they've done earlier.
Sanjaya was horrible again, Sundance was way below last week, Chris Richardson whined his song, and Phil sounded under the weather, barely hitting high notes that he's hit with ease on other nights.
Since it looks like the preteen crowd is going to keep Sanjaya going into the finals, I think Phil may be in trouble. I think either Jared or Brandon will definitely be going home, and Phil may join one of them.

Funny cat photo, Edi! My two are on blankets on the couch. None of this floor stuff for the princesses, lol

The heater is the warmest spot in the house, so it's a natural, at least until we go to bed, that is, and then we always have two that race us to the bed.
-
Believe me when I say that I'm no prude AT ALL, but I was rather appalled by tonight's episode of DIRT. The profanity was rougher than anything I've ever heard on basic cable, and the nudity and sexuality were very graphic and there was a lot of it.
I am really surprised there hasn't been more outcry about this show, although maybe there has been, and I just haven't been reading about it. Until tonight, the show was pretty racy, but that's typical for FX's dramas. TOnight seemed to really cross the line. I'll be interested to see if there is any fallout over it.
-
DUring the commercials of HOUSE and DIRT, I flipped over to TNT-HD and saw that they were showing the pilot and second episode of THE CLOSER tonight. Reminded me that I haven't watched either episode in a fairly long time, but I had forgotten how much Brenda had to fight to get her squad's respect and even their attention.
-
THis morning, I had the DVR record Gene Kelly's INVITATION TO THE DANCE. I have seen the entire film once a long time ago. The GENE KELLY COLLECTION laserdisc offered the first and third parts of the film, but now I should be able to burn a decent DVD-R of it since I doubt there's going to be any hurry to get it out on DVD. That is, I'll burn one if the print they showed this morning is any good. I didn't screen it to see what the quality was.
-
I put in THE MUSIC MAN to take me up to prime time TV. I hadn't seen the DVD in a couple of years, and it definitely needs a newly remastered edition. Some of it looks great, but some scenes look just a bit washed out.
But did you watch the documentary? ;D
-
OK...'night all!
-
DUring the early morning hours, the DVR is going to capture the HBO-HD telecast of SYRIANA. I didn't see the movie in the theater or on DVD yet, so this will be my first experience with it. I know it's pretty heavy going and requires full attention, so I may watch it tomorrow afternoon after lunch is cooked and eaten so I won't be distracted.
-
But did you watch the documentary? ;D
Not this time; I haven't finished the film yet. I only got to "Marian the Librarian."
A local group is doing THE MUSIC MAN in the fall, and I wanted to check to make sure I could hit the bass part of the barbershop numbers. That's the role I'll go after.
"Ice cream - but I don't sing if that's what you mean." ;D
-
Good Evening!
I'm packed. I'm tired. I've set my alarms. I'm heading to bed.
-But it was a good day! :)
Goodnight.
-
Maybe he's been waiting...for you! :)
I agree Edi, perhaps is the person for her!
I will be tormenting mine for a bit after work
-
I am so entertained by watching the cats fight over the heater. One will be there and then another will come up and be very friendly, lick the other cat and then try to curl up with it, while at the same time shoving it out of the way. They all do this and sometimes it will end up in a fight, but usually it will just be a big pile o' cats.
Edi, they all look so sweet. The black and white one is really curled up in his nest.
-
Waht is funny my parents dog is the same way when one readies for bed, It will race and hop on to the bed and pick out her spot.. She is a very spoiled toy poodle.
-
Ahem... <cough, cough>...
-Just ask DR MBarnum. ;)
Yes, DR Jose has more hands then an octopus...oh, and if you find him looking for change in your pants pocket, while you are still wearing them.... well, why in the world would someone need change for the parking meter when he is on foot!
-
Edisaurus, if I ever get to Atlanta I want to meet the puppeteers! Ever since I was a kid I have loved puppets...both hand puppets and marionettes.
-
Well past midnight, and I'm off to bed.
Good night!
-
But we're so close to page 18
-
It's almost in view
-
Are we there yet?
-
Have we made it into the Top 10 posting days?
-
I'm back from a "French" movie - which I will be discussing at length in the notes.
-
I don't know what it is, but for about the sixth time in two weeks I have almost been creamed by a stupid idiot driver, in this case a stupid idiot young girl. I was driving up Cahuenga and this jerk literally just pulled a U-turn right in front of me. If I wasn't an excellent driver she'd probably be dead because of her stupidity. And she was completely unaware of what she was doing. She was either a complete dunce, stoned, or on her phone. I almost turned around - I had thoughts of cutting her off, making her stop, and then calling the police to have a chat with her and perhaps get her license taken away for a little while. But, I didn't.
-
10:10 and everyone has WUSSBURGERED??? No, we won't be entering the top ten with WUSSBURGERING at 10:10.
-
What is this? 10:55 and NO ONE?!
Have we entered an old episode of the Twilight Zone?
-
Thank goodness George is here!

You've had some interesting automotive experiences today...Let's hope you've gotten them all out of your system.

Oh man, this board is as dead as a doornail...

Well, this is just intolerable...I think I am off to bed...

Thank goodness George is here!
Goodness had nothing to do with it! ;)

Did anyone win the Mega Millions?? I haven't checked my numbers, yet.
-
I don't do lottery....I only play games where I have a high chance of winning....
-
I am here now...
-
my internet is being annoying...
-
I am here now...
Huzzah!
-
Winning numbers:
16,22,29,39,42 Mega Ball = 20
My numbers (I bought $2 worth):
10,33,40,50,52 Mega Ball = 43 and
16,25,33,40,41 Mega Ball = 33
:P
-
I only picked one number out of two sets of numbers.
-
At least, I didn't actually pick the numbers that I got...I chose the quick play (or computer picked numbers).
-
Back for one last question of the night:
BK -- have you ever found a CD called "Music for Strange Situations"? It is a compilation of some Alessandroni/Orlandi works that was supposedly released from Hexacord back in 2003. I've searched amazon in vain -- it is "currently unavailable" and haven't found anywhere else that has it to buy.
Any advice?
-
Well, I hate to do this...no really, I do...but I must Wussburger tonight. Last night, I went to bed at a reasonable hour (1:00 am or so), but I didn't actually get to sleep until after 3:30 am. :o I hate it when that happens. Usually, I'm out pretty quickly. Fortunately, it's quite rare for me to take that long to get to sleep. Anyway, I literally can't keep my eyes open, so I must close them for the evening. Good night, all. 8)

Will we never get anyone else to post?
-
Can we make it to page 19?
-
Tune in next week - same Bat time, same Bat channel...
-
Well, I am slowly eking my way out of Full Membership...
-
One post at a time...

I'll be darned if I don't chisel away these last few posts...
-
Like Sir Edmund Hilary - with his trust Tenzing by his side - I scale to the summit of this page...
-
And the three of you just sit here as I dooooooo...
-
Almost there...
-
And one for Tenzing!
-
Hee-hah! I did it!

...I wish someone else was around to celebrate with...
-
Boy, this is like celebrating New Year's Eve in a retirement community...
-
Well, will this be my page too?
-
[size=8]Page 19 CASON DANCE![/size]

That's more like it. This page needs some festiveness.

Festivity...? Festifility...?
-
Come on 20...papa needs a brand new bag!

YOu are almost there...
-
Okie-dokie...*cough*WUSSBURGERS*cough*
-
Good night George!
-
Ah ha! DakotaCelt with the assist!
-
Cason, do you like Irish music?
-
I'm liking the avatar, DakotaCelt - St. Patty's Day is looking sweeter and sweeter all the time!
-
Two points for the slam dunk!
-
Love it! Irish harps and Celtic music rank up in my favorites...
-
Then again, what self-respecting Irishman would say he didn't?
-
Yes it is!! Viva la Irish!!
BTW, Cason, I enjoy chatting with your mom on the board. She is a fun person!
-
Oh faith and begora, Irish eyes wouldn't be smilin' that day (imagine this said with a severe Irish lilt -- isn't that what finally did Eugene O'Neill in? A severe Irish lilt?)
-
That is true... An Irish Wanabee might not like the day...
Thanks for the comments!
-
Yes it is!! Viva la Irish!!
BTW, Cason, I enjoy chatting with your mom on the board. She is a fun person!
Agreed -- she's a keeper! Speaking of someone who loves Irish music...
-
My all-time favorite Irish group are The Chieftains. I have actually met them. Talented musicians
-
Agreed -- she's a keeper! Speaking of someone who loves Irish music...
She likes Irish music also!
-
Beautiful!
Yeah, my parents always had some copies of festive Irish music around. It's fun ANYTIME of the year...but especially now, let me say.
-
Love it! Irish harps and Celtic music rank up in my favorites...
I have several Derek Bell harp cds that I love...
-
I think I'll have to have some playing all next weekend when Heather is around (my little bonny lass, that she is)...
-
And one for the Chieftains!
-
I also like Ceoltoiri Chualann, a forerunner to the Chieftains. Many of the members who went on to form the Chieftains also played in Sean O Riada's group.
-
And one more for Derek Bell!
-

Indeed... I also recommend Mary Black
-
Ah, how refreshing to have someone with an extensive Irish music background...
-
WE made it to 20!!
-
Well, what do you know? Page 20!
...that was a lot easier than getting to 19!
-
Not to mention, I'm now a Senior Member!
Time for an Irish jig!
-
I have an Irish penfriend who introduced me to irish music and I introduced her to bluegrass. She also plays timbre flute and has even got to play with Sean Keane and Kevin Conneff.
-
Even bk ran off...
-
Have you ever heard of a radio show called Thistle and Shamrock?
-
Not to mention, I'm now a Senior Member!

I do some jigging...
I do play the bodhran!
-
Ah, I'm glad we waited until page 20 to mention the timbre flute -- no one around 'cept you and I
-
Any big St. Patty's Day plans, DakotaCelt?
-
I have a lot of Irish music ranging from classical Traditional, new age and even some rock.
-
Any big St. Patty's Day plans, DakotaCelt?
It is not really celebrated up here. I may go and listen to Poitin at a local pub and celebrate a bit....
-
Awwwww...not celebrated up there?! They don't know what they are missing!
-
Ah, I'm glad we waited until page 20 to mention the timbre flute -- no one around 'cept you and I
Nope... I cringe when someone plays trad music on a boehm system flute... For modern arrangements, yes it is fine but it does not work well in traditional tunes. It has a different feel.
-
Do you play any instruments?
I have tried to play the tin whistle... I have gotten quite handy on the bodhran
-
The group Ceoltoiri Chualann did the score for PLAYBOY of the WESTERN WORLD, 1963 release from Ireland. I actually ahve that on tape.
-
I plunk around on my keyboard at times and have learned some chords on my guitar, but beyond that...I'm just the singer...
-
Jeez, we might just make it to 21!
-
Awwwww...not celebrated up there?! They don't know what they are missing!
I know.... To many people of Norwegian ancestry, they prefer to celebrate Syttende Mai, which is Norwegian Independence DAy...
I prefer St. Pat's day... I am Irish and German and proud of it!
-

21 -- the atomic number of scandium
{this useless fact brought to you by Cason's overactive, yet unoriginal brain and Wikipedia}

THe Chieftains also contributed to the soundtrack of BARRY LYNDON and got an oscar for that.
They have also won a JUNO for their work on THE GREY FOX

The Barry Lyndon of Kubrick fame?
-
Yes, I have the sound track Cason
-
Soooooo clooooooooose....
-
And one for Barry Lyndon!

CAssie got both that and GREY FOX in Ireland for me.
GREY FOX has Robert Farnsworth
-
WE made it to 21!!
One for the Grey Fox!
-
Ah, the last time I was on the Emerald Isle, I was still in my mother's stomach...
-
I have contributed to a fansite for the Chieftains. I did a lot of the writeups and stuff
-
Ahh, Are your parents from Ireland?
-
Thanks for all the good heads-up on the best of the best Irish music!
-
My friend Cassie is originally from Belfast and she moved to near the LIberties in Dublin when she was about 8
-
No, but they went on a trip with my dad's side of the family when she was pregnant with me.
-
YW Cason!!
-
I see.... Cason is Irish name correct?
-
Hello to all of you HHW'ers that'll be perusing this in a few hours!
-
I will have to have my pint and shepherds pie next week
-
I think Cason may actually be English...
-
Guinness of course!
-
It is "a local dialect pronunciation of Cawston, a town in Norfolk, England whose name means “Kalfr’s homestead."
-
They may be transported back to the Emerald Isle!
-
Interesting... Neat name...
-
WE are getting to 22
-
Aye -- I may take Heather to an Irish restaurant/pub near here...
A couple of years ago, I went with my aunt Shannon and her two kids and, much to their delight, I talked with an Irish accent all night. :)
-
No kidding, we are chipping away here on 21 quite nicely
-
and no bk.... He must have gotten distracted by something...
-
Indeed, I am thinking 22 is a worthy goal for the evening...

Neat,
My friend Cassie now lives in the US and she is always amused at how 'pronounced" the accent is....
-
I totally agree Cason!
-
I trust that You and Heather will have a lovely time at the pub!! Please toast the lovely lass and treat her well!
-
Neat,

She can thank Lucky, the Lucky Charms leprechaun for that...
-
When the pull the guinness, they have to make a shamrock in the foam
-
I trust that You and Heather will have a lovely time at the pub!! Please toast the lovely lass and treat her well!
I'd not dream of doing any less!
-
She has noted that and a few John Ford movies have also contributed to a bad Irish accent
-
Have yiou ever seen Commitments, The Van or the Snapper?
-
When the pull the guinness, they have to make a shamrock in the foam
Aye and word has it, TRUE Guinness should be thick enough that you can stand your spoon up in it without it falling over to touch the sides...
-
We have made it to page 22!
-
Ah, Commitments -- talk about a great soundtrack!
-

AMEN!!
Also it is the tonic of life!

I loved it too until my tape player made a snack out of it... I do not know if it is on CD.
-
The movie was good also.

AMEN!!

Who needs the Fountain of Youth?
-
I loved it too until my tape player made a snack out of it... I do not know if it is on CD.
This is a perennial favorite of my mother's -- she indeed has it on CD, so maybe a St. Patty's Day treat for yourself?
-
Have you read the Barrytown Trilogy? The three movies I mentioned are based on the this series written by Roddy Doyle
-
I haven't indeed -- but I may need to check it out now!
-

Will have to check BN to see if they have it...
Fargo has really lost some good music shops and I refuse to frequent places like Walmart.
-
Brendan Carrroll is another good writer. The movie, Agnes Browne, was based on one his book. Fun soundtrack!
Chieftains also contributed to this one
-
Have you ever herad of the movie Lovespell aka Tristan and Isolde?
That movie has a completely trad Irish soundtrack. Kate Mulgrew should not have been casted as Isolde....
-
Also Julia Roberts should not play an Irishwoman...
-
Have you seen Some Mother's Son or THE Devil's Own?
-
Who needs the Fountain of Youth?
All we need is Guinness!

I haven't -- I had only heard of the newer Tristan + Isolde they made...haven't seen it - but I am a huge fan of Wagner's opera...
-
Wow, I am sooo not up to date on my Irish movies and music...
-
(By the way, you are from Fargo? ...I think, if I'm not mistaken, Heather's aunt lives up in Fargo as well...)
-
Piece of trivia... What two Riverdance stars originally toured with teh Chieftains?
-
I haven't -- I had only heard of the newer Tristan + Isolde they made...haven't seen it - but I am a huge fan of Wagner's opera...
I have not seen the newer version and I woudl like to sometime.

We'll educate ya laddie!

Yes, I am from Fargo... It is about 100,000
-
Piece of trivia... What two Riverdance stars originally toured with teh Chieftains?
I do not know -- enlighten me!
-
Answer: Jean Butler and Michael Flatley!
Jean's sister, Kara, still performs with teh Chieftains as a dancer.
-
Jean and Michael were the first dancers when the show first premiered.
-
Answer: Jean Butler and Michael Flatley!
Jean's sister, Kara, still performs with teh Chieftains as a dancer.
I did not know that -- that is some weird, wild schtuff (imagine in the best Johnny Carson impression)
-
Don't tell me we're going to hit page 23...
-
One for Michael Flatley?
-
Micheal left Riverdance after a rumoured disagreement with Bill Whelan and formed his own show, Lord of the Dance....
Or as my freind Cassie calls it
Micheal Flatulence and Lord of the Prance!
-
And one more for St. Patrick himself!
-
Wow.... we have just hit page 23!
-
God Bless St. Patrick!

Jump in Laura, the water is fine!

Thought I'd show a little preemptive spirit!
Never too early to start celebrating!
-
Is bk gonna shut this partay down?
-
I have seen an Irish play awhile back called Remembrance.... It was good. It was loosely based on a freindship of a Protestant father and a Catholic mother in the north after their sons are killed in sectarian violence.
-
Boy, DakotaCelt, give us a page and we'll give you three!

Never is!!
Nice to see the Tri-Color...
Green for Ireland, Gold for Northern Ireland and White for peace

One of my favorite new playwrights (I say new, but he's been around for a while) is a good ol' Irish lad -- Martin McDonagh
-
I can be an incorrigible chatterbox at times...
-
He recently did "The Pillowman," but did two trilogies of Irish stories before that

Not familiar with him, I may have to do a bit of reading on him...
There is one a freind of mine saw and both the titel and the playwright escapes me but the topic had to do with the Magdalene Laundries.

I have jotted the name down for futre exploration..

He also won an Oscar last year for his short film, Six Shooter -- with Brendan Gleeson
