After seeing the wonderful production of FLOYD COLLINS at Playwrights Horizons (if I remember correctly), I found this book on the story. It's quite good.

DR MBarnum, there's a new horror film BEEF coming out about a young man killing body builders! Is this the film on which you were acting as an adviser?

Oh btw, for BOSTON LEGAL fans:

I think at the end of the season it was reported that a number of people were leaving the show.

Apparently some were signed at the last minute. So now only julie bowen and constance zimmerman are leaving. Rene A and Mark valley are staying.

But Julie and Mark's characters just had a baby and got married! What are they gonna do with that??

I got a very good shopping buy today.

One of my passions is purses. I was at Winners (not sure if it is a Canadian store, but they basically sell clothes by other labels) (although they also sell books, toys, jewellery, purses...). Anyhow i glanced at the liquidation purses and happened to notice a purse i had liked for $36 (regular $115).

Anyhow after studying it i noticed a couple of bead had fallen off ot if (not very noticeable). But since i pointed it out to the salesgirl she gave it to me for $30. I put the little coin purse over the spot and now it's not even noticeable at all!

Oh btw, for those who like chocoate, they were giving samples today of a new caramilk. It was mini individual caramilks. But it was the new kind with brownies and caramel. Very yummy! I highly recommend it.

It was in the canadian tv times and it didn't say. But i'd imagine that they will just not show julie bowen and say that she is staying home with the baby.

She could be a stay at home wife.

Who then suffers from post-partum depression, is sent to an institution and never heard from again.

(Special guest star Tom Cruise as her doctor.)

This has happened to my sister...and it's happened more times than you would think. My sister does not eat a lot and really wants to take home all her left-over food. She has gotten to the point that she has to specifically tell the waitperson(s) to wrap up everything to go and if they "accidentally" throw something away or "assume" that she didn't want the side items, she makes them get her some more. Good for her, I say!

I've eaten there before and never had a problem.

I just don't get why the waiter would not ask if he was not sure.

Anyhow i did get fresh fries and coleslaw.

He said it was no big deal. But i agree. I think it is better to just make sure to say "wrap everything including the fries"!

I also found it weird that they did not bring everyone's food out together. A restaurant of this calibre should not bring out rib steaks 10 minutes before the rest of the table got any food! I personally did not care since i was not very hungry. but i know sometimes people feel bad starting before everyone has their food.

I got a cute call from 1 1/2 yr old niece this morning (she is out of town visiting Nigara Falls today).

Anyhow (and she is a bit hard to understand sometimes), she says, "hi auntie ... grover". Well at least it sounded like grover to me. It could have been flower.

I asked my sister why she was saying grover to me (was she wearing grover diapers?). My sister thought she was.

So i guess she decided to announce that to me.

Maybe it was because whenever i change her diaper, we always guess who will be on the diaper (i always say zoe or ernie and she always says elmo or big bird)!

We decided not to go to Border's last night. Instead I got up and went to Fred Meyer right at 7, where they had approximately 500 books being looked at by approximately 2 people (including me). A much better choice.

I believe I may have answered the Trivia question, but time will tell (a Lani Hall reference that probably only Tomovoz will get).

WILD HOGS was actually very successful at the box-office, the biggest hit John Travolta has enjoyed in at least a decade since GET SHORTY.

I watched another MOONLIGHTING episode. This one had Maddie selling the agency to another big investigations group and David going out on his own to help a businessman find a stolen Rolodex. Mark-Linn Baker played the businessman.

I rewatched PSYCH this afternoon. At one point last night, I nodded off and missed some of the action, so I got the DVR to get the early morning rebroadcast, and watched it today. I loved Shawn pulling one over on his father who has gotten away with giving him a hard time for so long.

When I go back down, I'm not sure if I'll have time for DANGEROUS WHEN WET before LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE starts at 8 or not. I can always start DANGEROUS, and then finish it when LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE goes off. That's what I may indeed do.

JRand - Interesting, there was a Law and Order episode that bore a striking similarity to Strangers on a Train, and they seemed to get around any copying issues by specifically referring to the characters having gotten the idea for their plot from Strangers on a Train. Did the mention of Floyd Collins in Ace in the Hole seem designed to try to get around any unfair copying charges, i wonder (perhaps rhetorically ) ?

That is my guess...or it was part of the settlement.

DR JENNIFER....all I know is he brought me the phone results on Thursday morning and they did not tally with the results we saw on air.

I think there is a"go to hell" disclaimer in the credits that says the votes can be manipulated or skewed in various ways.

The reviews for Mr Campbell and Company I've read were reasonably good - if anything disappointed that no risks had been taken - straightforward production. Mr Sondheim did give "an Evening With: which was televised (I don''t have Pay TV). I doubt Mr Sondheim would have said anything about the show when he had been invited to come out for it - and had just seen it.

Going to head down now to read a bit, do some household chores, and then settle in with more TV.

Well I'll never say never again anyway. I just have so little information on Broadway plays. I'll leave the trivia for you JMK - come what may.

Mr Sondheim did give "an Evening With: which was televised (I don''t have Pay TV). I doubt Mr Sondheim would have said anything about the show when he had been invited to come out for it - and had just seen it.

I asked if this brouhaha was over the production with David Campbell:

So angry was composer Stephen Sondheim over Kookaburra's decision to cut vital scenes from Company on Wednesday night that he threatened to pull the plug on the show mid-season by withdrawing the rights.

The Sydney Morning Herald, the newspaper that broke the most dramatic theatre story in years yesterday when it revealed the role of April was completely removed from the show on Wednesday after actor Christie Whelan was too sick to perform, reports today that Sondheim threatened to remove Kookaburra's production rights unless a public apology - on the scale of a full-page newspaper advertisement - was issued.

In a statement to the Herald, Kookaburra Artistic Director and CEO Peter Cousens (pictured) said: "Kookaburra celebrates the work of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth and apologises for interfering with the integrity of their work."

Cousens also dramatically confirmed that he was the one who ordered the cuts to the show on Wednesday, despite what appeared to be a clear denial of this just 24 hours earlier.

"I instructed the director, musical director, cast and crew to make the cuts to the show, and of course it was my decision to keep the curtain up," Cousens said.

Cousens has also announced a charity performance of Company, with profits going to the Actors Benevolent Fund and Oz ShowBiz Cares, a charity nominated by Sondheim. People who attended on Wednesday are invited to the July 31 charity concert or "any other performance of their choosing".

There was no announcement prior to Wednesday's performance in relation to the cuts.

Jeanne, Check with Habitat for Humanity I know they accept some building supplies as do building rehab places.

I'm still waiting for them to come and pick up a portable dishwasher I've had for sometime. I have a deep freeze that I think is probably on it's legs...it was making so much noise and I haven't used it for so long that I emptied it and unplugged it. I think I'll call my handyman Jerry and give him both appliances. He seems to know places to donate things.

There's a company here that accepts the dead equipment. maybe there is something like that there. I'd call a computer store and ask them where you can take it. I have some really old stuff... I've been keeping it for years just in case i ever get a case where there is evidence I need on an old big floppy disk. I don't think it will ever happen. I should really get rid of all of that

Yes, they do. These no longer worked. they become obsoleted very quickly. The one I bought just last year is about ready to be tossed, too. My cell phones never seem to last more than a year and a half. Maybe that's because I buy the cheap ones!

There is a place at the Verizon store where you can get rid of cell phones...I think it's at the Verizon store.

Noel, the development of The Brain from staged reading to full production was immortalized in many of the notes beginning last April, all the way through the show's December premiere.
