Did anyone who watched the Tonys last night, notice in one of the audience shots stage left with NPH; there was a man sitting there dressed in a South Sea native (?) outfit, with this big head behind him?

No I have not taken any drugs today!

That was a joke, Tom.  It was a guy dressed in LION KING attire, and the guy in back of him was fidgeting, trying to see over the headdress.

[JMK]

The best part of the gag was it wasn't overplayed--it was just happening in the background while NPH got the show into commercial.

[bk]

There were two or three other similar "bits" throughout the show.

Finished the Beck movie and watched the finale of Mad Men - which was merely okay and not much of a finale.  Do we now wait another two years for a new episode?

I liked all of the acceptance speeches with the EXCEPTION of all of those involved in P/B who spoke as though they were doing some great inspired work instead of a hack job on a classic.

AND the second man who spoke for CLYBOURNE PARK - pretentious and boring.....both of which I have been called.

I agree! Completely!

I am home. Seven hours of mixing and more tomorrow, My brain is fried, but it's sounding really good!

That's great.

Just watched the "Hairspray" number on YouTube. Yikes, some of the chorus dancers on the Corny Collins Show are larger than the Tracy. And blah.

[elmore3003]

Or the HAIRSPRAY number...there was absolutely no point for that.  Not that it was bad, but just completely unneccessary.

I think it's pretty cool that cruise ships are doing Broadway musicals. I think it would have been fine for them to mention the fact that Hairspray was currently on a ship. Or even to just quickly talk to the cast members. But to do the whole number ... and then leave out Bernadette Peters accepting her award or the In Memorium section. That makes no sense.

DR Jennifer, how did you miss the point of that atrocity" Royal Caribbean WAS ONE OF THE DAMNED SPONSORS of the Tony Awards! If they'd wanted to have an underwater ballet, CBS might have allowed it. Someone at Royal Caribbean said, hey! we do shows on our boats. We can sponsor this and let the Tony watchers know they can go on one of our cruises  and see a mediocre show as well as get mugged and rhrown overboard.

[Jane]

What was that about mugged and thrown overboard?

[elmore3003]

So, I gather  there's been some flack about the Great Audra's comments on getting raped every night.

I saw that and thought that it was supposed to be either some bit that for some reason didn't happen or an inside joke.

I saw it too

Really?  I thought that that part of her speech was pretty funny.

I did, too. It's what happens in the show.

Well, the phone interview didn't happen - I suppose it will be rescheduled and hopefully before I'm on my way to NY.  I suppose I'll get ready for the Jason and Faith show.

I watched the Tony Awards this morning.  I enjoyed it for the most part.  Matthew Broderick looked like he didn't want to be there. I enjoyed the number from Once, but I don't think it necessarily showed how good the show is --I really liked it and might see it again when my friend comes from California in October.   I agree that Danny Burstein's number was better in person for some reason.

I went to see Kristin Chenoweth last night --that's why I wasn't here for the Tony bash.   I know she's not the favorite of everyone here, but I really enjoyed her show.    She chose someone from the audience (actually she said that the young woman had been at her Philadelphia show and she almost picked her but didn't, so she was choosing her since she happened to be here ) to sing a duet of "For Good" (from Wicked) with her.  The singer's name was Lindsay --she was really great and got a standing ovation.  After she left the stage Kristin said "Note to self.  Don't have anyone on the stage who's better than you."

I would have liked to see her. Sounds like fun.

Hey, y'all!  Sorry to be E&T, but I blah, blah, blah--I don't really have any good excuse...

I don't know how I did that.   Anyway, Let's try this again! ((((((((Dan the Man))))))))  So good to see you!

[Danise]

Have to do a phone interview in an hour.

  So did you hire the phone?

[Danise]

Well, the phone interview didn't happen - I suppose it will be rescheduled and hopefully before I'm on my way to NY.  I suppose I'll get ready for the Jason and Faith show.

  Oh, I didn't see this.  I guess the phone didn't get the job after all.

This morning I had errands to do before my audiology appointment.  Now I have to get used to the changes.  Until I get used to them I don't know if this is an improvement or not.  I think it is.

~~~Improvement Vibes for DR Jane!!~~~

  Ditto!

Speaking of wildlife........

While driving home up our dirt road today I suddenly slammed on my brakes and stopped.  On the edge of the road was a rather small fawn.  I left my car parked on the road & walked up to our house.  Keith had heard me and was walking down our driveway to see if there was a problem.  I asked him to get the orange cones we have to put around the fawn so cars wouldn't run over it.

I put one cone down & when he walked up to do the second one the fawn got up and wobbled (as young ones do) over towards me.  Finally he went to off into the brush so we left.

Years ago Echo found a fawn & I read that mother deer do leave their fawns for lengthy periods.  They blend into the brush so well they are usually safe.  I hope this one is.

  Me too!

I went out with Craig to the lake for a nice walk.  We didn't see the fawn on the road which I hope is a good thing.

I have to say that I believe that the hypnotherapy is working.  I feel better inside and don't feel like I'm on the edge of losing it like I did.

I had my performance eval today (that one that was due back in December).  I didn't expect it to be good and it wasn't but I didn't lose my temper.  I listened to 2 of the sessions at lunch and they kept me calm. 

The thing I like about Joseph is how he keeps posting new free coaching and hypnotherapy sessions yet doesn't charge for them.  He just wants to help.  I've been "talking" to him via Twitter/email/his board and he seems a really nice young man with a good and caring heart. 

I had a surprise today when someone mentioned that I seem to have changed since I came back--for the better.  I blame Joseph Clough.    I'm so glad I found that free app in the Android Store.  It's also for the iPhone in case anyone wants to give it a try.

  I was amazed at how many deer there were in Pittsburgh the last couple of times I went there.  We came around a bend and there was a huge buck in someones yard!  I thought it was fake until I saw it move.
