Right now I am so tired and sick of working that all I want to do is go back in time with the numbers for a really big mega millions win and buy myself the only winning ticket....
dang ! It appears they have a rule against napping at your desk.
How unreasonable.
Actually, I think I'll play the game that gives you $10,000 a week for the rest of your life. Of course you can't pass that on to your heirs but if you live long enough you can build up a pile of money to pass on ;
DR MattH, so will they not show LOVE MONKEY at all? I hate that the networks do this when they get something good.
But I HATE the idea of having TAR at 10pm. 9pm was a good thing and perfect! How can they even think of putting it on at 10pm? Where did you read this since I have not seen it anywhere?
I see that Monty Python's SPAMALOT won the Best Cast Recording Grammy. I called it right when the nominations were first announced. No surprise there despite the fact that ALL of the other nominees were more deserving of the award.
And they were all more deserving than SPAMALOT because of what?
...Then we ended up waiting for the bus on Central Avenue in Middletown, Ohio, across from the First Presbyterian Church, not too far from where our DR Ginny currently lives. I doubt that DR Ginny and Richard lived in that area at the time this dream took place, or we could walked there and had DR Ginny drive us around.
TPunk's mom drives a Buick Century!
I read this in yesterday's VARIETY. According to the CBS spokesman, THE AMAZING RACE does well whenever CBS runs it at 10 p.m. and it IS smart counterprogramming to the drama of SVU and the dramedy of BOSTON LEGAL.
LOVE MONKEY has not performed any better than CLOSER TO HOME did in the slot, and CBS is all about winning time slots or at least coming in a strong second (as CRIMINAL MINDS does against LOST). LOVE MONKEY hasn't delivered.
Though the article did not say LOVE MONKEY had been canceled, the fact that it appears nowhere on CBS' midseason schedule after February 21st is pretty much writing on the wall.
To give some insight into a question asked yesterday, I remember reading an interview with Blake Edwards when he did SON OF THE PINK PANTHER with Roberto Benigni or whoever back in the early 90s. He basically said the Pink Panther character, meaning the cartoon character, is a branding franchise that is still worth a lot to some companies (Owens-Corning in the States for instance), so they have to keep it alive and in the public eye by making the movies periodically. Such is the way of the world.
Elmore, this is rather eerie, but yesterday as I was getting ready for work, TPunk called to tell me she had been waiting for her bus for a half hour and it hadn't come yet! It was the second time in a week that this had happened. The bus drivers blame the traffic. Unless she has shared this with you, it seems you've subconciously picked up on her bus troubles.
And not a good sign for CRUMBS being taken off tonight for a GREY'S ANATOMY repeat (of last Sunday's show). I'm thinking its days are also numbered.
To Tomovoz and also to anyone interested in the Disney sequels and why they by their very nature don't "live up" to the original movies - Re HUNCHBACK PART II post of last night - If by some chance you do watch it, keep in mind that the straight-to-video sequel was ultimately aimed at the age 3-to-6 age bracket and I think it'll stand up. I think that during the period while Skip was working on that video, they came to the realization that they needed to have a certain kind of younger-age-targeted product for the straight-to-video market, so they went to work at taking some of the more challenging aspects out of the script and video. From an artistic perspective, it seems from looking at the online comments that the people who loved the daring of the theatrical movie were very disappointed in the sequel, but it was the really the young kids who go "Oh, look, there's Quasi" at the Disney parks and shows that the final product seemed to speak to. (Thanks, MattH, for your comment last night, Skip appreciated that, since even he feels it has to be taken for what it is and nothing more.)
One fun (to us) story about money and HUNCHBACK II - When Skip gets paid for air/TV rights and such, it's broken down by song and also separately for his music used in the general underscoring. (Excluding the pop Jennifer Love Hewitt closing credit song which Hewitt co-wrote herself, the video has four songs, of which Skip wrote three) On a recent check stub, they listed a song Skip had never heard of, and he said to me that he didn't write such-and-such song but got paid, what should he do. As it happened, he had never seen the French language version and I had, so I was able to tell him that no, he did write that song, that just happens to be the French title and he was indeed entitled to that money. So even thought no one in France knows Skip's name, at least some kids are hearing his music there. :)
TOD: I guess there are so many earth-shattering changes one could make going back in the time machine, but still:
I'm not sure why I care about BAKER'S WIFE so much, but I'd like to go back to the tryout of BAKER'S WIFE and tell the creators about all the changes they made in later years that made the show better, in the hopes that they implement them in the original incarnation. Does that sound too frivolous or inconsequential? Maybe, but I'm convinced that if BAKER'S WIFE had succeeded in its original time, it would have had a nice impact on the procession of musical theater "history" that followed it; just a feeling, nothing to back it up.
Not sure if that's the reason. "Crumbs" aired here on Tuesday night (or was that a repeat?).
"Grey's Anatomy", for some unfathomable reason, did not play on the West Coast in its time slot Sunday evening. At 10 p.m., they aired that "Desperate Housewives" catch-up program...but between the Super Bowl and "Desperate Housewives" the gosh-awful and tedious Jimmy Kimmel was on.
Here in the PNW, I'm pretty sure that they showed the "Desperate Housewives" ketchup (or catch-up) show at 9:00 and I know that they showed "Grey's Anatomy" at 10:00. I don't know what time (if at all) Jimmy Kimmel came on.
Bill, Jose, and Mike are here to install the new furnace. The old furnace (which weighed a lot, evidently...judging from the grunts, groans, and curses) was lifted out of the floor and now they are about to retro-fit the new furnace...the hole in the floor will need to be resized, unfortunately.
I just found out that my boss has selected me to be the official non-Equity licensing representative for MTI at the Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC) the first week of March. Here's the best part - it's in Orlando! And the company's paying!! And I get to go with one of my best friends as he's the Equity licensing rep, so we're gonna try to get VIP tickets to Disney one day while we're there.
WOO and HOO!!
Evidently the new furnace must be inspected by the inspector (whoever that is) before the gas company will come out and put in the gas meter.
So my dream of having heat today has been dashed to pieces like a crumbling cookie. :-\
But I will survive!
HOO and RAY!!! That's wonderful news Jason I am very pleased for you!
Two more men just drove up in a large blue truck.
Jason - Great news. Clearly, that means your boss thinks you'll represent the company well. Speaks very well for how people perceive you.
Well if doesn't work, we all know which of the three you'll blame!
I believe that the brand of furnace is WILLIAMS.
Maybe they're the free gift you get for purchasing a new furnace. Better than a toaster!
Ya, well, I hope they kept the gift receipt!
It could be because I'm a big old theatre queen and know way too much about the shows we license. :) Again...I don't really care what the reasons were...I'm just happy they picked me!
Ya, well, I hope they kept the gift receipt!
I think it is because you are personable and knowlegable!!
Jason - A big old theater queen who knows way too much about the shows you represent? In that case, then like I said, that DOES speak very well for how people perceive you! :) :)

The furnace is installed and the men are not putting in the thermostat.why are they not putting in a thermostat? ???
Then they will work under the house and I can get ready to go to work as they will not need to get inside any more.
why are they not putting in a thermostat? ???
But of the actual nominees, I think SPAMALOT most closely represents and recalls/approximates the experience I had in the theater watching the show. Maybe that's the quality the voters were looking for???

First...Jose, I have to say I agree with you about that long commercial break...I was suprised to see that a good chunk of time was left before the hour was up.
After Sawyer's "There's a new sheriff in town" comment, I was torn between thinking "GOOD" and "SHOOT"....but the twist REALLY made me smile. What a great turn of events...and Sawyer's "long con" was revealed with Charley's question about how he thinks of such things.
Ummmm...did you skip a page, Deb?
;)
The furnace has to be "inspected" before they will fire it up. Installers generally don't schedule inspections, and they often fail to mention it to homeowners...probably because they can never guarantee exactly when they'll be done with installation.
I'm just glad our MBarnum isn't having water heater problems...stepping out of a cold shower into a cold bathroom would be...well...rude.
I thought they would install everything and just not turn the gas on at the main until the inspector gave the "all clear". If they won't put in the thermostat until after the inspection poor Mike won't have heat until spring! :(
And here's the Grammy win that thrills me most:
Classical Album: ''Bolcom: Songs of Innocence and of Experience,'' Leonard Slatkin, conductor (Christine Brewer and Joan Morris, University of Michigan School of Music Symphony Orchestra).
GO BLUE!!!
As Mike explained, it's the installtation of the gas meter that is being held up, pending an inspection. :D
Back from lunch...had sauteed chicken with green beans, broccoli, mushrooms and zucchini in a tomato sauce with a side of "special rice."
It was very tasty.
The best part of this was that there were four of us and we learned, at the end of the meal, that someone had paid for our lunch!!!
Turns out it was the County's assistant Public Defender who had seen us sit down...one of my companions had visited her table briefly upon entering. We were all very pleasantly surprised.
Vixmom, I believe it has been a month now without heat.
So what will be on between NCIS at 8pm and TAR at 10 pm in the regular slot?
I know you're a friend of the orchestrator so I'm not surprised you were rooting for it. I simply found the scores for PIAZZA, SCOUNDRELS, and SPELLING BEE more interesting and their albums more to my liking.
Elmore, this is rather eerie, but yesterday as I was getting ready for work, TPunk called to tell me she had been waiting for her bus for a half hour and it hadn't come yet!

On the subject of who votes for specific Grammy categories: Seems that anyone who votes can vote for the four major categories, but they're only allowed to vote in eight of the other 31 "fields." So they have to pick and choose which fields they want to vote in beyond the top four categories, I guess. So does that mean that someone who votes in the Show Album category has to REALLY want to vote in that category, since they're allowed only eight out of 31 fields to vote in?
From the Grammy website:
Submission
Recording Academy members and record companies enter recordings and music videos released during the eligibility year which they consider worthy of recognition in the GRAMMY Awards process.
Screening
Reviewing sessions by more than 150 experts in various fields are held to ensure that entered recordings meet specific qualifications and have been placed in appropriate fields such as Rock, R&B, Jazz, Country, Gospel, New Age, Rap, Classical and Latin, among others. The purpose of screenings is not to make artistic or technical judgments about the recordings, but rather to make sure that each entry is eligible and placed in its proper category.
Nominating
First-round ballots with lists of eligible recordings in all fields, except those voted on by special nominating committees, are sent to voting members who return their ballots to the independent accounting firm of Deloitte for tabulation. To help ensure the quality of the voting, members are directed to vote only in their fields of expertise; they may nominate in the four general categories (Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best New Artist) and in no more than nine out of 31 fields on their ballots.
Special Nominating
Committees In craft and other specialized categories, final nominations are determined by national nomination review committees comprised of voting members from all of The Academy's Chapter cities.
Final Voting
Lists of the finalists are sent to voting members with their second round ballots. The finalists determined by the special nominating committees are also included on these lists. In this final round, Recording Academy members may vote in the four general categories and in no more than eight of the 31 fields. Ballots again are tabulated in secrecy by the independent accounting firm, Deloitte.
Results
Results of members' voting are not known until the GRAMMY Awards presentation ceremony when names of the winners are delivered by Deloitte in sealed envelopes. GRAMMY Award winners are revealed during the GRAMMY Awards telecast.
JRand55, you will be pleased to know that THE LONG, LONG TRAILER releases on DVD on May 9th, along with some other Lucille Ball films.
It has nothing to do with my being a friend of Larry's; I think it's a wonderful recording entirely capturing the mood of the show, which I loved. I cannot speak for the Finn piece, but the other two recordings were well-produced and played, and your comment made me wonder what set it lower than the others.
Dammt--everytime I've tried to post today, someone comes into my office for one reason or another and interrupts my train of thought. Of course, it don't take much to derail my particular train, but today there was one bobby pin on the Lionel track too many.
A new crime drama called THE UNIT produced by Shaun Ryan, producer of FX's THE SHIELD.
Well if doesn't work, we all know which of the three you'll blame!
Two more men just drove up in a large blue truck.
I think that this new furnace must be quite heavy as they have called in the troops!
George - You know, as far as BAKER'S WIFE is concerned, all I've wished is for them to have the rewrites then that they themselves eventually did. Of course, their accepting what I say would be contingent upon them really believing that I came from the future, and that I'm doing nothing more than telling them how they themselves ultimately "solved" their own dramaturgical problems. I wouldn't have the chutzpah for anything beyond that. (I might say the same thing about RAGS, but IMHO RAGS was never completely solved - at least not so far!!!)
Didn't Cleo Laine sing "I Remember" on her SOndheim album? I have that CD here someplace, but I haven't listened to it in YEARS. Makes me want to seek it out now.I mentioned it yesterday. Now to my ears there is a totally emotionless reading rendition of virtually every Sondhiem song. Yes I know her voice is a wonderful instrument but does it make you "feel" anything!
Kathleen Turner guest starred on LAW & ORDER as the defense attorney at odds with Sam Waterston's Jack McCoy. A nice reunion for them after appearing in the movie SERIAL MOM together.
As for Spamalot snagging the Grammy... Regardless of the quality of the show and/or of the recording, I knew the whole voting process and knowledge of the voting body was "off" the year that "Riverdance" won. Need I say more? Not to diminish the contributions and talents of those involved with any of the nommed recordings, it seems to be a matter of name recognition than anything else.
;)

Good Afternoon!
Ah, nothing like a good hair cut to make one feel "lighter". -Actually, since it had been a good three weeks since my last cut, I'm sure I lost at least a half pound of weight in hair alone. I do love feeling the air on my scalp again.
:)
Go, Joan & Bill!!!! I should call them.
I couldn't grow a half pound of hair in THREE years!! 8)
Tomovoz - The version of THE BAKER'S WIFE that was done at the Paper Mill Playhouse (a major regional theater in New Jersey) was quite excellent. That's the version whose script I'd like to carry back with me in the time machine and hand over to Messrs. Schwartz and Stein in their out-of-town frenzy.
What are the weather prognosticators in New York City saying about the possible winter weather event this weekend?

As for Miss McCarthy - she has a lovely voice, but I feel there's nothing there in terms of her and the song. The person who liked her because it seemed she was using the best of Liz and Bernadette was spot on - that's exactly what it sounds like - like she had listened to both versions (more Liz than BP), and taken the phrasings she liked. But, there's no heart, no soul, just a pretty voice singing words.
DR Jose, I've heard storm rumors and nothing more. If you come up this weekend, we could have some din or a movie.
DR Jose: You are VERY close. It's the Papermill Playhouse version that is now the official version.
THE 'AIR ON MY SCALP - that's the title of my Cockney remake of BARBER SHOP
Isn't that what I said?

DR Elmore - I'll have to look into that about NARAS. Thanks for mentioning it.
WOW! I do believe I spy me a quorum on the forum!I think that's enough for a proper quorum.I went off to look for an improper Quorum.

Should be a delight DR Ginny.
Would you sell out for a "Sweetie" Jose?
...And I still remember that it was a few years before I actually got to try Turkish Delight... YUM!! -And I also have a pretty decent recipe for it too. Hmm... Making Turkish Delight while it's snowing outside... Hmm...
I have always wished for some Turkish delight...but I didn't know it was food.
Jose, yes I think that was it. It's all a blur. They got the scores on a Tuesday, were expecting to rehearse for 3 days then do a staged reading that Friday and Saturday (there was a big Bolcom retrospective down here--Bill and Joan both came down for it). But when they got the score, they all freaked and I had to have everything done basically overnight. So I think I've blocked most of it. :) I do remember lots of whole tone scale in thirds stuff in the winds, if that's any help. ::)
I have always wished for some Turkish delight...but I didn't know it was food.
DR Jose, the weather report on the NBC news just now is an approaching storm with about a foot of snow by Sunday morning.

I see that Monty Python's SPAMALOT won the Best Cast Recording Grammy. I called it right when the nominations were first announced. No surprise there despite the fact that ALL of the other nominees were more deserving of the award.
I never watch the Weather witch.
In other words, CBS gives a rat's ass for quality...it just wants instant gratification (something that has become epidemic since the millenium changed).
I wonder if any of the current "shirts" gives any credence to the possibility that the other networks have locks on the bulk of the audience with their own programming and that CBS needs to establish a great program in the slot they want to win and then stick with it, wooing/enticing viewers to check it out?
This morning I looked out my window, and this is what I saw:
Well, of course, by "gosh awful and tedious", I'm only letting everyone know how "I" find Jimmy Kimmel. If anyone else likes him, that's cool. I still love you all.
Ditto the "Spamalot" issue. I, too, preferred all the other nominees....I figured "Spamalot" would win, but I suspect seeing the show is the key to adoring it...I certainly don't begrudge anyone a Grammy for it, but I agree with Matt that it was the lesser of the nominees....personal taste and all that.
Maybe if I wrap Freddy up in a bundle he can pass as a fat, hairy baby with whiskers.
I'd worry more about breaking the blanket.
But I did change my previous post to MBarnum's original word of "bundle." If anyone's trying to make sense of any of this.

Back from LACC.
First off, everyone votes for the Grammys - there is no committee. As long as the record label sends the discs in anyone can be "up" in the prelims. Then people vote, and that makes the five. Then everyone votes again. The award is presumably for the best PRODUCED cast album, which is why it's really a producer's award. Unless the show is original to CD (not a revival) the authors don't even get part of it (if my Hello, Dolly had won, I would have received the award, not Jerry Herman).
The Riverdance year was fascinating, as, I believe it was the year of Rent. It was also, if I remember correctly, the year of my The King and I, which, all modesty in check, I feel WAS the best "produced" CD that year. We didn't even get nominated. I knew Riverdance would win - it had just been all over PBS - didn't matter that it wasn't even a real cast album - it had the "name" factor. With Spamalot, the "name" factor was simple - ERIC IDLE and the Pythons. Winner.
Not sure if that's the reason. "Crumbs" aired here on Tuesday night (or was that a repeat?).
"Grey's Anatomy", for some unfathomable reason, did not play on the West Coast in its time slot Sunday evening. At 10 p.m., they aired that "Desperate Housewives" catch-up program...but between the Super Bowl and "Desperate Housewives" the gosh-awful and tedious Jimmy Kimmel was on.
So....
How does one become a voting member in the Grammys?
Is anybody here one?

You are a patient man, Mike.

The new printer was installed today, and it works nicely. Of course. I hope it stays that way.
DR Jose, the weather report on the NBC news just now is an approaching storm with about a foot of snow by Sunday morning.
Still awaiting the arrival of Miss Linda Purl - I do believe she has never been on time once to any of our meetings/rehearsals.
Of course, I'm very fond of Liz's interpretation of the Primrose songs - I think she captures the essence of that girl perfectly - and I think Gary Beach does a fine job, too, even though his voice isn't my favorite, he really "gets" the guy.
Guess what the UPS guy just put into my hot little hands?
The third season of "Moonlighting" on DVD!
(Y'all get your minds out of the gutter!)
Attending the show this evening will be the set designer I had to replace.
Have no idea what size audience we have, although since it's Thursday I'm guessing it will be small to medium-sized. I think we're already doing well for tomorrow and Saturday.
DR Elmore, how do you become a member?
This face?? A weather witch??? :D

LOL Vixmom! My typing with freezing cold....meant to type "the men are now installing the thermostat"
RLP, it is the gas meter that will go in after the inspection.
Speaking of DR TPunk, she was in last night's peculiar dream: we were waiting for the bus somewhere between Manhattan and my hometown, she finally got angry about the wait and started walking and fell into a ditch! I am not making this up. Then we ended up waiting for the bus on Central Avenue in Middletown, Ohio, across from the First Presbyterian Church, not too far from where our DR Ginny currently lives. I doubt that DR Ginny and Richard lived in that area at the time this dream took place, or we could walked there and had DR Ginny drive us around.

Good morning!!
~~~~~VIBES~~~~~ for TPunk!
Not that I think you'll need them, I am sure the boys will all fall in love with you immedaitely and want to do your bidding!
That is exactly what I was worried about!! Thank you everyone for the good vibes- they worked! The group went well. There were some minor skirmishes toward the end of the 45 minutes but for the most part they were great. After we got past the first five minutes of awkard silence and staring at their shoes waiting to see what everyone else was going to do, they must have decided it was cool to participate and started contributing.
Elmore, this is rather eerie, but yesterday as I was getting ready for work, TPunk called to tell me she had been waiting for her bus for a half hour and it hadn't come yet! It was the second time in a week that this had happened. The bus drivers blame the traffic. Unless she has shared this with you, it seems you've subconciously picked up on her bus troubles.
TPunk's mom drives a Buick Century!
I believe they are, Ginny. They will be doing Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.
I don't know what is more eerie, the fact that Elmore dreamed my bus troubles, or that Rodzinski and I both said it was eerie.
