I know these midterm vibes are too late, Emily, but I hope you can do something with them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today, I was supposed to write the proposal for a term paper. So far today, all I've accomplished is to serve as a piece of furniture for a fussy cat who wanted to take a very long nap on me. I'll do it tomorrow.

I soon will be heading to a meeting of the Board of Directors of my synagogue.  I have every confidence that the excitement of this news will cause each and every reader out there in the dark to plotz like they have never plotzed before.

George, I would watch tonight if I could see the moon through the rain.

Our satellite went down around 6:00 and just returned.  I hate when that happens while I’m trying to send email or post.

DR elmoore!  I'm so glad that you're back online and feeling as well as one possibly can after your hospital visit!

ASK BK QUESTION:

Do you have anecdotes to share about Mr.  J K Simmons?  (i hadn't realized that aside from OZ, LAW & ORDER and DAS B, he was also in the revival of GUYS AND DOLLS).

Speaking of THE BLUE BIRD, the Russian/USA collaboration is available on dvd. . .just not region one.  La Liz, La Ava, La Cicely and La Jane. . . .

My aim is not to stay up all night tomorrow (tonight) - the night before my trip.

DR Panni wrote this just after midnight (HHW time). So, if I gather correctly, she's leaving tomorrow? Right? Have a safe and delightful trip, DR Panni! And don't stay up all night tonight (tomorrow).

I'm here, BK. I just don't have much to say. And procrastinating is such hard work. I'm exhausted.

Tomorrow is another lad-sitting day.  The day care people are all attending a funeral.  (Not for one of the kids, thankfully.)

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see this appear in region one from FOX; after all, look at the wonderful treatment they gave to CLEOPATRA.

DRtd, I believe she was Margo Channing in the Papermill Playhouse production.

J K Simmons is on the cast recording of BIRDS OF PARADISE.  I saw him do Jigger in CAROUSEL for the Houston Grand opera in a fantastic production by Gerald Guttierez.

I've been out most of the day doing trip or moving errands. Now I must start packing - after cleaning up.
It's been a long day which won't end for some time. Sorry not to post or read. Will try to catch up.
The moon was spectacular tonight.

Did you ever have days where you do something really stupid and can't undo it?
I just decided to hit eBay for a DVD of Danny Kaye's HANS ANDERSEN, so I did a search "hans christian andersen DVD kaye."  I found a good price, bought it now, and paid by Paypal.  Well, I just just bought a VHS copy!  I clearly disregarded the VHS  in the title listing.  So, why the hell did a search for DVD bring up a VHS?  I'm more pissed because I have eat the damned thing!  Blame it on the drugs (now or then)!

Last year I was on an eBay CD buying spree and once or twice I wasn't too careful.  I bid on and won a copy of Tovarich even though I already had a copy.  Even worse, I bid and won what I thought was a CD of Mary Martin's Jennie.  As was my habit, I put in my payment on PayPal as soon as I saw that I had won.  It wasn't until it arrived that I realized that the item was actually a Playbill of the show.  D'oh!

No eclipse for us in Philly tonight.  The clouds have decided that the show M'lady Moon was to put on was too indecent.  Foo and wee.

At a country auction, the DP asked me to bid on a sugar bowl. I got distracted by a woman who was telling me about her celebrity salt-and-pepper shaker collection (her prize was a Sir John A. Macdonald - Canada's first Prime Minister - salt shaker). Then I turned and saw that the sugar bowl was on the auction block. I bid and won. But it turned out the sugar bowl was the previous item - and I wound up with a baby gate. Try explaining that one!

I think this tour was on the road about eight years ago.  Ann Reinking directed and/or choreographed.

Watching the "documentaries" on the new Dr. Strangelove DVD.  The only one that's decent had already been available on the last SE Strangelove DVD.  The sole reason to get this is the fantastic new transfer, at long last in 1:66 and anamorphically enhanced for widescreen TVs.
