Good morning, all! I set off another bomb this morning in the apartment at 8:30, and I've been in Toyland since 9, finessing what I've written on LADY OF THE SLIPPER so far. At 2:45 I'm meeting my friend Tara to see CLOVERFIELD. Then, I shall return home, air out the apartment and tidy up.
I will be E&T most of tomorrow, although I may come down to the office later in the afternoon and cart the computer back home. I expect UPS to bring my new storage bins and Staples should be delivering another filing cabinet. I want to be there for their deliveries since I've been stressing out my super at bit with my numerous trash bags in the past 19 days and I don't want to bother him any more than necessary.
THE RITZ onstage was one of the funniest plays I've ever seen, and I'm happy the film kept a lot of the original cast; Steve Collins was replaced by Treat Williams, who was fine, and I've forgotten who played the Kaye Ballard role onstage, where I think it worked better as a farce since it was really about the doors and the timing. Rita Moreno's performance was one of the greatest I've ever seen onstage, and I'm delighted it's preserved on film. I like the film a lot.
