Well, you've read the notes, the notes were not frozen, and now it is time for you to post until the frozen cows come home.

And the word of the day is: UNEXPURGATED!

Welcome five GUESTS!

So last night I received a present from my mother that I picked out, one of which I can already tell is going to change my life. It is called “Le Chic Chick Knows…”, and consists of three decks of flashcard type index’s that inform an un-chic chick like me how to be Intelligent, Elegant, and Strong. One Hundred and fifty cards later I shall have evolved into more intelligent, more elegant, and stronger version of myself.
Tonight’s Tip: (I will translate it from Chic terms to ordinary English) If you admire a particular brand name, artist, or founder of any sort, take the time to research who they are. This way you are not caught at a party knowing Jane Fonda’s name but not one whit about her.
In following tonight’s tip I looked up who the creator of my favorite song ever was. "Baby, It's Cold Outside" is a pop standard with words and music by Frank Loesser. The female voice in the song is called "The Mouse" and the male "The Wolf." In 1948--after years of informally performing the song at various parties--Loesser sold its rights to MGM, which inserted the song into its 1949 motion picture, Neptune's Daughter. The film featured two performances of the song: one by Ricardo Montalbán and Esther Williams and the other by Red Skelton and Betty Garrett. These performances earned Loesser an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
My! The things I never even knew I did not know!~

I, of course, recorded Baby, It's Cold Outside in a very unique version - with Charles Nelson Reilly as The Mouse, and Karen Morrow as The Wolf - most amusing - it's on A Hollywood Christmas.
-
ok, goodnight eveyone! I shall now join the land of the sleeping.
-
I do believe I shall now toddle off to the bedroom environment.

Yesterday, I finally got the hole in my wall fixed (the hole that had to be cut in my wall so that the neighbor's pipe could be fixed after it burst because of freezing weather at the end of November)! The owner of the condo next to mine (whose pipe burst) is a contractor and he fixed the wall...and quite well, too. Now all that needs to happen is the painting. My sister picked out the color of the paint and has some left over.

I'm not just sitting here like a dead herring in the moonlight. Okay, I am just sitting here, but not like a dead herring. I'm also watching a recording of Friday's episode of "The David Letterman Show" with guest Kristin Chenoweth. She didn't sing.

But she was pretty funny. ;D

Time for us to select a DVD for tonight's viewing. I hope it's not a melt down like the Ice Age from last night.

Good morning, all! I was hoping I'd wake this morning to snow, but 'snow such luck. for all of us wishing a snowfall, here's a Nutcracker Waltz of the Snowflakes. I couldn't find a photo of Balanchine's beautiful staging for NYC Ballet.
So, today I see my barber, and then I shall visit Ben and Anthony to celebrate laast month's holidays. After that, I have my first of several 3-hour sessions to record the new "virtual" orchestrations of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN. I shall return later in the afternoon, and perhaps accomplish a bit of work on Toyland.
-
Of course, there are so many different Nutcracker productions, and each one has an Act One Scene Two Waltz of the Snowdlakes![move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]

It's a foggy day in Philly town.
Still no snow in the forcast. No one has promised me nine inches!
-
Good morning. I didn't have to get up early today, but the cats thought I should. As I lay in bed before sunrise I heard snowblowers so I decided to jump out of bed and go clear the driveway with my new
toy snowblower.
I thought it was cold out there, but I'm glad I didn't look until I got done and was back in the house. It was actually -2 with a windchill of -25!
-
It was fun clearing out the driveway. Now I am curled up in the recliner with a blanket. I'm sort of catching a cold. I'm hoping I can fight it off
-
Still no snow in the forcast. No one has promised me nine inches!

It's overcast, and I believe we got a sprinkle of rain during the night, but it couldn't have been much. It's the last of our spring days today with a high predicted of 72. Then, we begin the stead drop in temperatures throughout the week.
But it's been grand while it lasted.

In re: The Frozen Pipes...
One of the other cashiers at work pulled a leg muscle recently. He applied some IcyHot to the sore area, washed his hands, and then decided to take a leak.
Funny thing. IcyHot doesn't wash off all that easily.

I have from last night GREASE, CROSSING JORDAN, WITHOUT A TRACE, and EXTRAS on the DVR. I couldn't record the HD broadcast of ROME last night due to two other programs recording at the same time, but I'll look to get one of the subsequent HD broadcasts this week recorded. This means I may not get to it until mid-week.

Good Morning!
Re: "Baby, It's Cold Outside" - This may have been brought up before, but did anyone catch the new documentary about about Frank Loesser that was recently broadcast on PBS? I thought it was very well done. There was a segment about "Baby, It's Cold Outside". It was sort of sad finding out how the song had gone from a very personal "party trick" of sorts, to a song that Frank Loesser grew un-fond of.
-
It's time to head to work.
Nice, sunny day here in Rehoboth.

As for the Topic of the Day...
-I'm not fully awake yet, but here's my list as is it stands at this time and time and this point of consciousness. ;)
"Cinema Paradiso" - The three-hour director's cut. -Although, the shorter theatrical release ain't bad either. But since I'm on a desert island, I might as well have a long(er) movie to occupy my time.
"Longtime Companion"
"The Color Purple"
"Singin' In The Rain"
"Like Water For Chocolate"

I'd love to see that Frank Loesser biography. I had no idea he grew to dislike "Baby" especially since it earned him an Oscar. Since the Tonys weren't generous to him as a songwriter, I think he'd be thrilled with this major award for his efforts.

Watching RIO RITA yesterday made me want to watch DIXIANA again. I have it on DVD, but finding the time to squeeze it in with so many other things waiting would be a problem.

From what I recall, he initially fought using the song in a movie. He had written it for him and his (first) wife to perform. It was a basically a gift to her in a sense. It was not a song he had intended to make money from. Apparently, they and the song had become so popular, that there were times when they were invited to parties with the hope that "Baby" would get performed at one point in the evening. Loesser began to tire of it. And then as his first marriage came to an end...

Re: last night's GREASE
*
*
*
They didn't show that much of Juliana. But from what they did show you could tell that the judges liked her a lot. She is one of the 50 finalists (25 women) who went through to Grease academy. And i would expect her to be one of the 12 finalists who go on to the public voting.
They only showed her singing one line (from "hopelessly devoted to you" i think). The british judge said she had star quality. Then during the dancing she was the one wearing the tightfit white outfit. And they made some really good comments about her. Then at the end after the HAIRSPRAY guy Austin Miller got through they showed that juliana got through.
I really think that people who have been in broadway tours like austin and juliana will have a huge advantage. Because obviously they are good singers and dancers and actors. I expect many of the amateurs will struggle especially in the acting department. So i would be surprised (shocked) if austin didn't make it.
As for last night's show i really liked that blonde ashley (i think she was the one who they gave 3 chances to). And i was completely fed up with the girlfriend who dumped her boyfriend after she did not get through. He was not very good (and got though). She was a bit better.
I really liked what they did show of juliana. And i think the really good stuff should start next week (when they show the 50 best go through boot camp). That is always my favorite part of american idol (watching the 100+ best audition).

On other boards there's post after post how this particular show is the nadir of television - but they watch and they watch.

The heat is on, but it takes a while to warm up this jernt. Once warm, though, it stays warm. Outside is a different matter - it's just almost impossible for me to jog in cold weather no matter how many hens I'm wearing (hens = layers).

Yes, Russian dressing is high in fat and carbs but it's very good. It's the Mayo factor.

So... My question about "Grease: You're the One That I Want"...
So... Since it does look they will have some "pros" in the Final 12 - or whatever the final number ends up being - what happens if someone happens to get an offer for another show during the winnowing down process? I mean, some of the people I saw last night, are definitely "working actors". Will the producers of the TV show allow them to leave? -Sort of like when an actor/actress is "allowed" to leave a production if a "better" contract is offered (at least in AEA terms). Or do the contestants sign away their life for the period of the live TV rounds? And just how do those people make any sort of money during the time period?
Well... Depending who makes the Finals, I may be able to get those questions answered personally. ;)
-
From what I've heard, Miss Marshall has a bunch of pros coming in during the final round.

Since I don't watch the Golden Globes, we must have reports all the livelong evening.

Have the final few already been selected? How much winnowing down does "America" get to do?

Still chuckle at the night I had to explain a bloc heater to someone from Boston...

DtM - The GREASE revival has reportedly tentatively booked the Atkinson, but totally unsubstantiated rumor has it that if LEGALLY BLONDE somehow (on some remote remote chance) isn't at the Palace this summer, GREASE will go to the Palace.

My Closer producer had a friend who was a singer/dancer in the Broadway production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. She was told she couldn't audition for the Grease thing because she had too much professional experience.
So how can Juliana make it? It doesn't seem fair--I thought the idea was to discover new talent! (Maybe I should just watch the show...)

I'm wondering if the "catch" was "no previous Broadway credit(s)". -Which would explain how some of the "working actors" were able to get through the auditions.

They had regular Equity auditions - someone has already said that Marshall has several pros coming in towards the end. It's all completely bogus and furthermore filled with outright lies (the couple who broke up - scripted reality TV - there's a concept). Touting Jim Jacobs as a Broadway veteran (one B'way show does not a veteran make - and they also act as if he had something to do with the film - he and his partner were not allowed on the set, that's how much he had to do with it - and, of course, the two hit songs from the film are by John Farrar), touting Miss Marshall as a Tony Award-winning director (she has never won a directing award, Tony or otherwise), touting David Ian as a B'way veteran (sorry, he produced Saturday Night Fever in London - and even if he'd produced it on B'way, producing THAT show only makes you an idiot, not a veteran).
-
Guess I'll shave and shower and be on my way to rehearsal.
-
I am totally clueless on the show. I have not seen it since I try not to watch the telly at night becuase during the school year I work at night.

I did a little searching on the names and I would not qualify them as Broadway vets either. IMHO, you have several successful shows under your belt and be RECOGNIZED by your peers as a strong talent.
-
I shall now be on my way to rehearsal, then for a meeting at the theater, then to check out the makeup tests, then to eat, after which I shall return. Don't forget the Golden Globes reports, especially on fashion.
-
Boy am I glad I have today off. After blowing snow this morning, I couldn't get warm. I also felt a cold coming on. I went back to bed around 8:30 or 9:00 I think and just woke up. I feel better, but can tell I'm catching a cold. I still need to shovel the front walk and the front porch, so I guess I should bundle up again and go do it

But first I think I'll make a sandwich from the left over roast beef I made yesterday. I also have some zuchinni and something new that's a cross between broccoli and asparagus. It looked interesting.

Re: GREASE YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT.
I thought that any professional was allowed to audition. But perhaps it is only people who have not been on broadway. That was not made clear (although they did address the issue of allowing people in with experience). I believe kathleen marshall said something about how this was not just a competition for amateurs.
As for how many contestants are left, last night they chose the 50 that would go to grease academy. The finals will be when there are only 12 left (6 men and 6 women). That is supposedly when america can start voting.
So next sunday we will see the 50 chosen for grease academy. And we will watch them go through training. I don't think that they said how many would get cut next week. But i am assuming that we will know the 12 finalists by the end of next week's show (i think they said something last night about america voting in 2 weeks).

I do hope it isn't Barbie Pink. It's such a hard color to get to match the upholstery in most living rooms.
No, it's not pink! ;) It's sort of a forest green but a little lighter (I guess). I don't remember the exact name of the color, but it's very nice. After I paint the fixed area, I'll take pictures. The bottom floor of my place is almost ready for viewing!

Hello all, I've been meaning to post all weekend but computer/power issues kept me from doing anything electric. Our little corner of Missouri (read misery) has seen quite a beating the past 3 days. The little town south of us has absolutely no power at all, like 20,000 homes. I slid into work WAY early just to get warm again. My bedroom was 43 degrees this morning :) We have power, internet, and heat here, but our news program is down, so we're composing our newscasts in microsoft word....makes for a very tedious day. So, I'm off to drown in stacks of paper. Hope all the rest of you in the path of the storm made it through ok. I'll be back later.

UGGHH.. I went asking where our main anchors and weatherman are today..they're on a cruise headed to the bahamas....bastards...

~~~Get Power Back Soon Vibes for JHVW!!~~~

Okay, here are my top nine movies (at this moment in time...and in alphabetical order):
Brokeback Mountain
Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame
It's A Wonderful Life
Latter Days (the unrated version)
Meet Me in St. Louis
Scrooge
Singin' In The Rain
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
Victor/Victoria

Now, it's time for me to take a shower and get dressed to go out in public. My niece, my friend Margo and I are going to see "Dreamgirls" today. I hope I like it. ;D
-
O" Danny Boy,
The pipes, the pipes......
Are broken.
-
I plan to be home in time for the Golden Globe Awards. I also told Margo that I'd tape them for her because she doesn't have cable TV. How can someone live like that??
;)
-
So, today I see my barber, and then I shall visit Ben and Anthony to celebrate laast month's holidays. After that, I have my first of several 3-hour sessions to record the new "virtual" orchestrations of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN. I shall return later in the afternoon, and perhaps accomplish a bit of work on Toyland.
elmore, what is the purpose (or use) of the new virtual orchestations?
-
Vixmom-It was a good thing you waited until Saturday morning to check up on things. This is why we always like someone to stay here when we travel.
My hip has been bothering me for a long while now, doubt a shot would work. Sitting and lying down hurt more than walking. I have stretches I began several years ago when my hip problem forced me to physical therapy, which help some.
Thanks for the cookie link.
Great idea for a birthday party, not something I would have dared done with a group of boys. ;D

power back on vibes to jhvw!

I'll just eat a really lean Lean Cuisine for dinner tonight to make up for it.
I have been trying to catch one of the commercials in order to watch our friend’s daughter.

tough call on the movies... I am still thinking on that since i have so many that I like and it is tough to narrow it down to 5 or 10.

EDISAURUS,
Thanks for the imdb reference; I must have missed Michael Maloney's entry. He's done far more acting work than I was aware of. I loved him in Me and Mrs Jones. But, somehow, off-screen, he's just not my type. ;)

People are watching the GREASE show for the same reason they watch talent shows and talent competitions on the other networks: America is a country of competition. Sports wouldn't be as big as they are if we didn't LOVE a contest to crown a winner, and the same can be said of everything from Miss America to the Oscars. Competition is ingrained in us from the cradle.
-
One good thing--at least Jake Gyllenhaal has somewhat lessened the stigma of spontaneously breaking out into a rendition of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going".
...somewhat...
Unfortunately, he probably increased the stigma that all gay men are drag queens.
-
I, however, saved the GREASE show to watch tonight before prime time TV begins for me.
I did watch the dramatic shows I recorded from last night.
However, I began with the hilarious EXTRAS, Ricky Gervais' very funny and droll British series currently beginning its second series of shows on HBO. Orlando Bloom was a hoot last night bragging about his looks. Hysterical from beginning to end.
-
Next I watched DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. There were some funny things at the beginning, but the show quickly took a turn to the serious, and I quite enjoyed all of last night's storylines. Poor Julie learning the truth about Edie's nephew.
-
I did a little searching on the names and I would not qualify them as Broadway vets either. IMHO, you have several successful shows under your belt and be RECOGNIZED by your peers as a strong talent.
I disgree on your criteria.
The label "verteran" denotes longevity of service; it is independent of quality, success, or recognition.

Next, I watched CROSSING JORDAN as Jordan and her family at the morgue worked overtime to try to clear her name of murder in the second half of the cliffhanger from the end of last season. Nice to see a favorite show back on the air.
-
I don't think that the popularity of reality shows have as much to do with a love of competition as much as it does with voyeurism.
-
Unfortunately, he probably increased the stigma that all gay men are drag queens.**
** I did not mean to imply anything about Mr. Gyllenhaal's sexuality. I was referring to the whole BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN / gay cowboy idea that SNL was going for at the time.
-
WITHOUT A TRACE had a lesser episode about the disappearance of a champion eater right after he'd earned $5,000 for winning a chili contest. The guilty party was pretty obvious once we got each suspect's backstory. Often, WITHOUT A TRACE is one of the most difficult of the procedurals to guess the identity of the guilty party, but not this week.
-

I disagree, but that's horse-racing.

I will scan through the Golden Globes tonight before I log back on, but I won't be doing any fashion commentary since it'll be after the fact (on the East Coast anyway). And, of course, I'll not spoil the revelations of the winners either.
-
touting Miss Marshall as a Tony Award-winning director (she has never won a directing award, Tony or otherwise..
Well she IS a director - her last two Broadway outings had her Tony nominated as a Director; she is a two-time Tony winner, albeit for choreography. Therefore, to refer to her as a "Tony Award winning director" is technically correct (perhaps a tad disingenous).

One Murphy leaves, and another Murphy joins the fray. Glad to see my reclusive mother has returned in fine form.
I very much like "DR Elmo" as a new nickname for you, Lar, but I'm afraid if I start using that, some of my old nicknames might start leaking out (courtesy of my mom...).
Don't ever worry about that, Mr. Poopy Pants.
-
Unfortunately, he probably increased the stigma that all gay men are drag queens.
I can't remember who it was, but I recall a gay radio host often saying that all gay men should dress in drag at least one night a year. I never agreed with him--I just feel that dressing up as woman is way too much work. I can barely keep up appearances as is.

Yes, Russian dressing is high in fat and carbs but it's very good. It's the Mayo factor.

My Closer producer had a friend who was a singer/dancer in the Broadway production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. She was told she couldn't audition for the Grease thing because she had too much professional experience.
So how can Juliana make it? It doesn't seem fair--I thought the idea was to discover new talent! (Maybe I should just watch the show...)
I believe that both Austin and Juliana were signed to their respective tours as understudys. Neither had previously appeared on a Broadway stage. Maybe that it the difference.

Kind of an exciting day at work..since there's not much to do graphically and we're short-handed they sent me on a shoot. A church steeple decided it didn't want to sit on top fo the church anymore. I hadn't shot a story in years, it was fun. There were 7 people in the office of the church, the heard cracking for a couple of hours, then bolted when they heard the crash. Nobody was hurt luckily. It was really weird to see though.

Hello, all! I have had a splendidly splendid day so far. My barber did an amazing job, given what he had to work with, and I spent two loverly hours chez DR Ben and Baxter the Clown. It was a festive holiday visit, and their glorious tree should be the envy of all. Many reputations were made, several destroyed, and the gossip flew.
So, then to West 27th Street to deal with ANNIE GET YOUR GUN; it's hard to explain this "virtual orchestra" but it's a program to be used in performance to augment a live ensemble. This was the first time I've ever heard the orchestration, which I did in 1999-2000, for the stock package. So far, it sounds soooo much better than I feared. I was so afraid I'd be humiliated in front of a group of gentlemen I just met. Of course, we're only halfway through "Doing what Comes Natcherly," but I'm smiling today!
DR TCB, I just learned one of our DR Cason's nicknames from his lovely mother, but I've vowed never to reveal it. However, upon receipt of a substantial check, I could email it to you.
TOD: I was so busy posting Nutcracker snow photos, I forgot the topic, so:
TOM JONES
THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL
LA KERMESSE HEROIQUE
DOUBLE INDEMNITY
THE MUSIC MAN
And it will change tomorrow, or perhaps later with my moodswings. Meds! I need meds!

Cheerio!

Darn, I have to wait until Keith is off the other computer.
Miss Karen, Sherlock is our 5½ month old Bernese Mountain Dog.
We have a bell (looks like a cow bell) tied to a ribbon near the door to the dog run. Two days ago we began teaching Sherlock to ring it when he needs to go potty. I’m not sure he has the potty connection yet but he has figured out if he rings it he gets a treat. He also likes to go out and sit on the deck so either way he is rewarded. Today he began ringing the bell when we weren’t around. I get so excited every time I hear the bell & run to see him.

I am not watching the Golden Globes, but I will be curious to hear who wins.
Instead I popped in another Bollywood movie. KATHPUTLI (1971) starring Jeetendra, Mumtaz, Helen, Agha, Bhagwan, Milaka, and Master Chikoo.
I don't think it won any Golden Globe awards, but perhaps a special mention for " film with the most actors with only one name."

We must remember not to go to the dog park on holidays. The last time we met a total “bleep, bleep” was on New Years Day. This time we met up with a friend of Sherlock’s from puppy class. A big solid pit bull mix decides to hump Sherlock, after we chased him off Sherlock’s friend, while growling at him. I began calling for the owner, who was sitting a good distance away from his dog, to get his dog. He yells at me “what do you expect when you take a dog in heat to the dog park”. With little control I “explained” Sherlock is a puppy and your dog is being aggressive. The jerk said his dog was just playing at which point Keith had more to say to him. Of course the man continued to let his dog “just play” in the same manner with lots of dogs. Folks were constantly calling their dogs away from the “playful” dog.

We must remember not to go to the dog park on holidays. The last time we met a total “bleep, bleep” was on New Years Day. This time we met up with a friend of Sherlock’s from puppy class. A big solid pit bull mix decides to hump Sherlock, after we chased him off Sherlock’s friend, while growling at him. I began calling for the owner, who was sitting a good distance away from his dog, to get his dog. He yells at me “what do you expect when you take a dog in heat to the dog park”. With little control I “explained” Sherlock is a puppy and your dog is being aggressive. The jerk said his dog was just playing at which point Keith had more to say to him. Of course the man continued to let his dog “just play” in the same manner with lots of dogs. Folks were constantly calling their dogs away from the “playful” dog.
Did you explain to the nice man that your dog was neither in heat, nor gay.

DR Cillaliz...how I miss the winters of Iowa. I remember when we were little and we could throw hot water out in the air and it would freeze before it hit the ground. Strange how it never seemed to bother me back then, now I can't stand to be cold.

LOL, you can say you miss it, but after we threw the hot water in the air a couple times I think you'd have enough of it. ;)

Miss Karen, you will find that the highest posting days are the days we talk about food. We are a hungry bunch! ;D
Even if you weren't hungry you will be after reading the posts!
-
Even if you weren't hungry you will be after reading the posts!
Well... ;)
So...
Today's "walk" turned into a Comfort Food Bonanza. I ended up meeting up with former DR Jason at Union Square, and we walked over to 2nd Ave., then turned onto 12th St... First stop:
S'MAC (http://smacnyc.com/home.html)
More properly known as Sarita's Macaroni & Cheese
We composed our own "sampler", ordering three "Nosh" sizes of:
All-American - "Just the way you remember it as a kid! Nostalgia at its finest - a tasty blend of American & Cheddar cheeses."
Cheeseburger - "For the Hearty Meat Eater! Ground Beef done to perfection with onions, garlic and a hint of ketchup and mustard. Don't forget the best part - a combination of American and Cheddar cheeses."
Cajun - "If you are looking for some kick, here it is. Cheddar & Pepper Jack cheeses, andouille sausage, green pepper, onions, celery, garlic and, of course, some genuine Cajun seasoning."
Each dish was served in it's own small cast iron pan, and we ordered them all with the "bread crumb" option. The verdict: YUM!!!
And then after a walk around the neighborhood for a bit...
-
It was time for dessert, so we stopped into:
Chocolate By The Bald Man - Max Brenner (http://www.maxbrenner.com/)
Where we indulged in:
Melting Marshmallow Hot Chocolate - Whipped hot chocolate with melting marshmallows. A choice of dark, milk of white. -Jason chose "milk".
Mexican Spicy Hot Chocolate - With red chili, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper. -My selection.
And then for our entree:
Sharing (tasting for two) - Which was composed of samples of the following:
-Chocolate Fondue - Choice of milk, dark or white; we chose milk. -Served with bananas, strawberries, and marshmallows. -And it even came with a small Sterno flame to toast the marshmallows.
-Chocolate ice cream - Choice of milk, dark, white or vanilla; we chose dark. -Topped off with a "shell" of dark chocolate.
-Crunchy Chocolate Cream Snack - This what was listed in the menu, but it was switched out with a chocolate petit-four of sorts - a slice of a layered fudge - dark chocolate, and peanut-toffee.
-Popping Candies Chocolate Lick - A shot glass filled with Popping candies (Pop Rocks), warm chocolate truffle cream and white chocolate chunks. Melted chocolate and pop-rocks... Who knew?!?!
-Warm Banana Split Waffle - A warm Belgian waffle, toffee bananas, chocolate sauce (served on the side in a small beaker) - to be supplemented by the chocolate ice cream. -And a dish of whipped cream on the side.
Needless to say, there was a lot of chocolate on the table. A LOT!. However, I have to give MB credit for not making the "meal" a total sugar-fest. The Belgian waffle was just lightly sweet, the whipped cream was unsweetened, and the strawberries and bananas were fresh and provided a "healthy" tinge to the affair. We finished everything. Almost.
*And since the tables there are too small(!), our waiter "staged" our meal, starting us off with the chocolate fondue, and then bringing everything else to the table. So it was like we were having a full chocolate meal: our cocktails were the hot chocolate, the fondue was our appetizer, and the main course and dessert was everything else.
Was it the best chocolate I've ever had? No. But it was really good chocolate. And the gimmicky presenation (Hug Mugs, Chocolate Warmers) worked for me. Our service was OK. They just need more waitstaff - the place was packed. *And their waitstaff are all stick-thin - "See, this young man/woman works here, and s/he must eat chocolate, and s/he is thin." ;) And due to their computer system going down, it took a while to get the check settled. But, all in all, a nice "chocolate experience". It's not something that I could do on a regular basis - just too much indulgence (even for me), but I'll probably be taking out-of-town guests there from time to time.
-
I haven't read any of the posts yet to see what's being said about the Golden Globes. But i'm guessing we are not doing spoilers. So i'll just comment on fashion (while they are rambling on now).
There are a lot of stars in the audience who i would like to see (their dresses). I did not see the red carpet. But i would like to see J Lo, reese, kate winslet, jennifer garner,and a bunch of others.
One dress so far that i really did like was presenter Jessica Biel.
-
And then Jason headed up to the Golden - He just got promoted last week: he's now the merchandising manager for Avenue Q. -And this just after he had been promoted to merchandise manager for Evil Dead: The Musical! -The week before!
...And I ended up walking all the way up to Columbus Circle... I had to do something after all that mac'n'cheese and chocolate. ;D
-
So, then to West 27th Street to deal with ANNIE GET YOUR GUN; it's hard to explain this "virtual orchestra" but it's a program to be used in performance to augment a live ensemble. This was the first time I've ever heard the orchestration, which I did in 1999-2000, for the stock package. So far, it sounds soooo much better than I feared. I was so afraid I'd be humiliated in front of a group of gentlemen I just met. Of course, we're only halfway through "Doing what Comes Natcherly," but I'm smiling today!
Hmm... Have you resigned from Local 802?

I kept thinking "WHAT????" and "I wonder what his co-star is thinking now"

I haven't seen very many movies at all this year. That's quite a change for me. And I don't regularly watch any shows on tv. So, it's interesting, but I really don't have any favorites
-
WOW! Now that was a surprise!!!!!! (Best Actor in a Drama)
-
He seemed to think so too!
-
Just gave up on the Globes - it's almost over, isn't it? I was surprised at how many of the winners I had seen this year - not the TV series, but the movies. Thanks, DR Elmore!
-

It's over.
It was OK. I've never really been one for awards shows - well, except the Tonys - but I thought it was a good ceremony, if not necessarily exciting.
However, and I'm sure other "critics" will make mention of this, it was interesting how the technical and directorial winners were cut off during their acceptance speeches, while the actors and actresses were allowed to babble on.
-
I've had too many distractions tonight to actually sit down and watch the awards. Not that I'm all that wild about the Golden Globes anyway. For the past ten years or so they've been billed as Hollywood's party night, where anything could happen but they haven't relly lived up to that rep for quite a few years.
-
Although, SPOILER alert
They did let the producer of BABEL babble on a bit.
-
DR FJL - Well... I guess for the final award of the evening...
-
Yeah, Skip just noted that, too.
-
And while I'm in an opinionated mood...
Isn't it a trifle too soon for those kids who had been kidnapped and rescued to start doing the media rounds? One of the boys and his family is scheduled to appear on the Today Show tomorrow morning. What next?--a stop on The View and then Letterman? I don't know what's worse--that the family wants their fifteen minutes of fame so soon or that the networks are so eager to give it to them.
-
They certainly cut off the producer of the Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy pretty fast.

Gee, if you are a member of AOL, you can find out who won the Golden Globes the very first second you turn on your computer -- even if you don't want to know!
Don't go to IMDb.com...all of the winners are listed there, also. :-\

Resigned from what, I don't know.
According to cnn.com, Miss New Jersey USA resigns over pregnancy (http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/01/15/miss.nj.ap/index.html)!
-
They let the producer of the Best Drama babble on because the show had already gone past 11 p.m., so there was no need to worry at that point about ending at 11.
I really can't say I was disappointed with any of the winners. Many were the favorites, and in the TV categories, there are just SO many quality shows out there vying for these prizes that it's a shame every deserving person can't win something.
From my count, the top winner won 3 awards, and it happened to be a musical. Nice, eh?
-
I watched the GREASE reality show. Like last week, we didn't get to see enough of the dance phase of the competition (maybe we'll see more dance at GREASE Academy), and we did get to see some talented men and women make it.
The story of the couple on the rocks vying for spots was pretty interesting.
-
'24' had another hour of astonishing action and surprises. Oh, my, another explosive season is underway. Just love this show!
-
I got about 20 minutes into CSI: MIAMI before I realized it was a repeat, not a new episode (the CBS comedies were new). Since I couldn't remember how it turned out, I finished watching it. It was an episode from earlier this season, however. It wasn't the season premiere, but it may have been the second episode of the season.
-
I saw "Dreamgirls" this afternoon and really liked it (and they just announced who won best supporting actor in a movie...very appropriate ;))! I forgot that I'd heard that Loretta Devine in the movie. That was a nice touch. Jennifer Hudson was very, very good. When Beyoncé was singing, she was fierce, but her acting...not so much. ::) She still needs some experience.
-
PAGE 11 DANCE!!
-
Tomorrow I'll have tonight's CBS comedies to watch, but other than that, I think I will have caught up. The DVR won't be picking up a HD broadcast of ROME until late WEdnesday night, so I won't see it until Thursday.

Is that with the chill factor or does it feel colder?
How long does it take you to layer on all your clothes before going out? ;D
That is the air temperature... Wind chill is flirting with -35 to -45.
About 10 minutes total... YOu have to have a plan...
-
I thought Cameron Diaz looked awful at the Globes, but just her hair. I didn't pause long enough to look at her dress.
You didn't miss much. Her hair was not very well kempt (in my opinion) and the dress had too much rufflage...and it was a light pink. It didn't go with her hair, at all. Here's a picture of her with a picture of Justin Timberlake.
-
Oh! Amy Sedaris is on Letterman tonight. :)
Btw, I LOVE her "hostess" book, "I Like You." The Children's Party Games section is very "helpful". ;D
Oh damn I missed it! I love Amy. Are you a fan of the strangers with candy series? or the movie?
-
Drew Barrymore, one of the presenters, looked real good in pink, though. And America Ferrera had a beautiful purple dress. Loved her speech. :)
-
Why doesn't anyone just say who won for heaven's sake? I have no clew.
-
I gather that Dreamgirls won a whopping three awards - this is nothing to shout about - it's not like NINE awards or FIVE awards - it's probably the lowest sweep in the history of the Globes. I am the ANTI-cheerleader.
-
Kyra Sedgwick won Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Drama
Hugh Laurie won Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Drama
America Ferrara won Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy
Alec Baldwin won Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy
-
Jennifer Hudson won Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
Eddie Murphy won Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
On the West Coast, they haven't announced the winner of Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy (for which "Dreamgirls" is nominated) ;)
-

Tonight, in honor of our topic o' the day, I watched one of my desert island DVDs - City Lights.

I hate that my local DVD store is no longer there.

Then after last year's Oscars for "Crash" and "Hustle & Flow" there's not much left in terms of credability. (IMHO).
-
It's always interesting to check out Mr Barkalot's "Oscar" tipping site. I wonder how much influence these awards will have.
-
Sasha Baron Cohen just won for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy. He's tall! And (as himself) he's pretty darned good looking! ;)
-
As with DR td, and no doubt a few other Hainsies, I collect Oscar nominated songs. The "soundtrack release of "Happy Feet" will create problems. One Cd is of the score and there is another of the songs - but they are not as they were sung in the film (Yet is the official soundtrack!).
-
Okay...I have got to see this movie! He's hysterical! ;D
-
I don't find Mr Cohen funny at all. And I didn't with his Ali G act either.
-
Horse and Courses. Some people think Dreamgirls is brillant. IMHO it makes "Chicago" look like ART.
Sad to say - I liked "RENT" better than Dreamgirls! (Or disliked it less!)
-
This show is STILL going on???

I'm hoping that given the advances in transfer technology, that the All That Heaven Allows and Written On The Wind will be better than the Criterion versions, which were pretty early DVD titles.

Early in my Internet days, when I had Web TV (those who've read Your Worst Nightmare in my book of short stories know from whence I speak), I went into various singles rooms (I can't remember what the chat room service was called - maybe IRC or something) - in one, I was invited into a private room with a girl and another guy - the room was called the Hot Tub room. I wrote about this adventure early on in The Real A One From Column A days. Perhaps Michael Shayne can find it and post it - it's pretty funny.
