Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a little rant, and now it is time for you to post until the ranting cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PIED!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Pied my foot!!!
-
That's what I saw when I saw the word.
-
Good day to all!
-
I DIDN'T have oatmeal today. ;D
-
I went to the site that BK mentioned in his notes. I was curious to see who that person was. But first a review for "To Kill a Mockingbird" went up last night (at this time) so far no one has commented on it as yet.
UPDATE: Wasn't the site I thought it was but still...
Good news is that he "HIGHLY RECOMMENDS" the film. It is a rave.
And he is the first reviwer that I have read that says "....And while we’re on the subject, if you haven’t read the book, I strongly recommend you do so. It’s a beautiful piece of storytelling, conveyed in the dialect of Harper Lee’s childhood town of Monroeville, Alabama..."
He also says " The Blu-ray shows off a new HD transfer that handles the film with a clear amount of love and care – this is absolutely not the DNR problem that some may have feared, and that some reviewers may be alleging. It’s truly a pleasure to watch this.'
I thought I'd pass this on. Get a copy to rent or to buy. I think I will.
In case you'd like to read it.....

Good morning, all! There were at least three dreams last night, but I only remember that the first was a frightening one about my grandmother's terrifying haunted place at 711 Tenth Avenue and the last was all about the Herbert song deadlines: I'm still waiting for two singers biographies, a decision on the word count for the notes, and the last round of notes to be cleared.
Today I have work on ROBERTA: "You're Devastating," a call to Joshie about the Encores! dress rehearsal, several emails to send, and a word count on the complete lyrics for the songs. It's not exciting, but that's okay.
-
Monday morning greetings! I'm up early to send an early email that I should have sent by noon last Friday - oops. Today I'm off to the southern burbs of Dayton for the rescheduled appointment with my cardiologist. No problem, just time for a check-up and prescription refills.
-
Congratulations to BK & company on last night's show!
-
Good morning.

Congratulations to BK & company on last night's show!
From me too!

Congrats on last night's show and on getting a great guest star for next month. I remember watching Andrea M when she was on 'Love Is a Many Splendored Thing."

Great to wake up to a new video on BlueGobo.com. This one is of Cheyenne Jackson and Kate Baldwin singing "Ol' Devil Moon" from the recent revival of "Finian's Rainbow" that Elmore worked on. Their voices are in great form.

TOD: This is the only chat room/website forum I come to. I have unfriended Facebook friends who get too rowdy with political postings that don't make sense, on both the right and the left. And I just ignore tweets that are ugly; actually, I don't pay much attention to Twitter unless it's related to the food site.
-
TOD:
I once had an experience akin to BK's short story, "Your Worst Nightmare," but it's too involved to go into here.
Very upsetting.
-
And the word of the day is: PIED!
And The Song Of The Day Is: JOSEPH'S COAT
-
Everyone got to the Super Bowl Party so early yesterday that we were all finished eating by 5pm. And there was still another 1 hour 1/2 till the game started. :)
The cheesecake was well received. Although some found it very delicious but rich. My niece loved it. I found it rich. But most chessecakes are rich. I thought it was excellent. My sister tasted peanut butter. I thought that the peanut butter was downplayed a lot. Not sure if i would put more next time (i love reese peanut butter cups).
-
I went to the site that BK mentioned in his notes. I was curious to see who that person was. But first a review for "To Kill a Mockingbird" went up last night (at this time) so far no one has commented on it as yet.
I read the book years ago, which of course is brilliant, but I'm sorry to admit that I've never seen the film. The Blu comes out next week in the UK along with another must-get All Quiet on the Western Front.
-
BK congrats on your show last night! You are too funny suggesting that people should TIVO the Super Bowl :)
-
Congrats to BK on the show!
-
Glad the show went well!
-
Congrats to MR BK and cast and crew on their success......
And congrats to DR BEN on his radio segment. VERY nice.
-
Yes the SuperBoil is over - I watched the last quarter of the game which was most entertaining. And of course we here in Indiana are pleased with the result.
Hopefully things - including traffic - will return to normalcy soon.
-
I do not like political discussions on message boards....here or elsewhere - I usually just read, but try not to comment.
A bit too much yodeling and yowling on the Star Spangled Banner - but that's the American Idol influence we are stuck with.
I enjoyed the half time show - it's not as if she had time to do a concert - you know, a few minutes to set up and then do the show and then tear it down..... And a LIVE audience of millions of people..... Madonna did a nice job.
-
I am listening to the marvelous Bud Shank, a CD full of his bossa nova sessions, most of which feature the wonderful Clare Fischer on keys (a number of great Fischer compositions are also included).
-
As should have been fairly clear from both my and BK's comments over the past several weeks, the TKAM basher is on "my" site, not HTF. I fully agree with BK's assessment. But as I've told BK himself, arguing with these people is arguing with a brick wall, except that a brick wall probably has more sense.
-
As I've also mentioned, the TKAM ranting has almost completely sucked the air out of the All Quiet on the Western Front discussion, which I find somewhat amusing.
-
What is the general consensus about the "heir" who showed up on DOWNTON ABBEY last night? Real or Memorex?
-
I will hopefully have time to watch the astounding La Fura del Baus' MAHOGANNY today. I'm really looking forward to it after their astounding RING cycle last year.
-
JMK - Not sure about the heir on Downton Abbey, but -
You're near 12,500 posts - doesn't that seem to be a round enough figure to qualify as a milestone of some sort? Your call, of course!

I don't see why. I recently passed 500 posts and no one congratulated me ;D
-
I think real hair is always nicer.
-
Congratulations, Doug R.
-
I love today's word. I try to get pied every chance I get. May pie be in all your futures.
Oops (or spoo), I guess it's another meaning. ;)
-

Hmmm...a spoiler alert would have been appreciated.
Next time, I'll sic Ellen Smith on you, DR JMK.
-
The funniest thing about the TKAM ranter, aside from his genetic inability to simply apologize, is how first he decried how the BD looked (without ever having seen it), calling my review a "joke" and something to be "derided," then when other people weighed in, more or less agreeing with me, he now states his opinion was based on the fact that all the screencaps I took were of "bad" moments in the film, hence his rush to judgment. :)
-
What is the general consensus about the "heir" who showed up on DOWNTON ABBEY last night? Real or Memorex?
Why did "The Elephant Man" spring to mind every time the character was on camera?
-
500 isn't a milestone folks normally mention...the general rule-of-thumb, IIRC, is 1,000. Every thousandth post gets the kudos!
But 500 is well done.
-
TOD:
I only have two words : Steve Newport.
( well, two words and a vomiting sound effect...)
-
I almost wonder if our TKAM ranter might be related (really, really closely) to our very own 3D? It's the same modus operandi.
-
I am getting strange errors as I navigate about HHW and other websites today. I'm doing so on my iPhone, but I'm coming across glitches I've never came across before. Is it lots of post-Super Bowl traffic or a general attack by---Dah! Dah! Daaaaah!--Anonymous!
(Those people are scary!)
-
Blame DR JOSE.

Household Hint of the Day: a dab of Dr Pepper on a paper napkin is all it takes to remove pizza sauce that has been inadvertently smeared on an iPhone screen.

Thanks Ron - but I wasn't being serious :)

From DR Vixmom:
yep it is one of the neighbors across the way I can see them from my front window looks like Disney land after the parade closing times
Nice. :)
I hope you enjoy the book. I wonder who will read it first.
-
DR TCB thanks for the explanation.
-
DR George, good news your router works.

Please put a spoiler or warning or mention DOWNTON ABBEY first. I can't watch the show until it is on NetFlix.

Go Grebes!

Thanks to whoever it was last week who pointed out that the third line in "Here I Am, Lord" is "Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.) We're going to be doing that one on Sunday. I will probably laugh.

It wasn't me!!!

Let's move on.

I'm up and shall be on my way to scan.

( well, two words and a vomiting sound effect...)
There's a name I haven't thought about in...oh, at least 12 years. Left that group and never looked back. At the time, he had something to say about everything said on every single thread. I imagined an invalid with absolutely nothing to do...someone who received his nutrition and meds intravenously...who pooped, etc., into bags...who had no reason to move except to type comments in that damned forum.

BK, Congrats on the Success of Kritzerland #18!!
And great news about Andrea Marcovicci wanting to be in your show! ;D

Topic of the Day:
HHW is really the only board/forum that I've been on. I've posted on MySpace (I actually deleted my account a couple of months ago) and Facebook, but not very often at all. I mostly check for updates and info from TAO (http://www.olytheater.com/). And fortunately, I haven't been involved in any "off-putting things" on either place. I've seen some things posted, but nothing has been directed at me or been in response to what I've posted. :)

They certainly are in great form (I especially enjoy Cheyenne's form ;)), but there's just a bit too much reverb on this clip, if you ask me.
-
BK, I don't know why you do that to yourself and to your blood pressure. Every time you go to one of those discussion pages you come away from it extrmely agitated.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change

Good Afternoon!
I'm up, I'm up... And, about an hour ago, I finished playing for the 18th annual Unified Professional Theatre Auditions.*
-
*And this was my 13th year playing for them.
-
I just finished packing my luggage, and now...
I need a nap.
Laters...

Can one use soy sauce as a substitute if Dr. Pepper is not available?

Back from my annual visit to Dr. Jain, my very young cardiologist. Of the 3 meds he prescribes for me, I will be able to discontinue one (Plavix) on the 2-year anniversary of my stent (August 4). And he said my EKG looks like I never had a problem. All in all, a very satisfying report.

While I was away this afternoon, Richard spent about 15 minutes on the phone with AppleCare and now all of our devices can connect wirelessly.

Last one for today.

Thank you DR Laura. I'm trying to spread them out. It is fun for me this way too.

Scanned, ate, and am relaxing.

Great pictures, Jane! ;D

Thanks DR George.

It really was, especially after it stopped raining.

So, Ginny, that isn't your doctor?

I finally heard from Joshie. Tomorrow night I'll see the dress rehearsal of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG. Wish I liked the show!

I've been relaxing and watching the Jack Benny specials. Lucille Ball is in a lot of them, and in one she sings and dances Big Spender. It's astonishing. Astonishing because it ISN'T HER SINGING! Did they really get away with it? As soon as I heard the voice I knew who it was - no one would have back then, but it was instantly obvious it was Miss Carole Cook. Hilarious.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
During the "hey day" of the Sondheim listerv, the mid- to late-90's, I happened to make a lot of connections and a few friends via that "board". Whenever I would play for one of the Sondheim shows at Signature Theatre in Arlington, VA, I would regularly meet a few of my fellow listservers during the course of the run. They would make the "pilgrimage".
-
And...
It's time to eat.
Laters...
-
'night
-
I am very much enjoying SMASH. I've laughed several times.
-
I watched it last night and am watching again online. I like it a lot
-
Watched SMASH. Enjoyed it except for the "Personal soap operas" aspects, but I guess it's necessary to balance out the "musical soap opera" which I enjoyed.
-
Are the song writers based on Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens? (Ragtime, Lucky Stiff, Once On This Island, Anastasia, A Man Of No Imprtance & My Favorite Year)
-
Night, all.
-
'night!
-
I really enjoyed Smash.
The songwriting team is based on Betty Comden and Adolph Green.
-
DR Jane--I can't remember where I stayed when I visited Moorea--it was 25 years ago!
But I can still vividly recall the beauty of the island and the great French cuisine.
-
DR Doug-
Daisy is a beautiful cat!
-
I wish I could say I had any kind of interest in Smash, but I don't.
