Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fab and gear, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently having a repeated mootif.
-
And the word of the day is: FLANEUR!
-
A fan ruler.... I had one of them once many years ago
-
I trust Cannibal went well tonight...
It did, thanks! I got all my lines in (no one jumped theirs...well, in my scenes) and the audience loved it. :)
-
Well, I'm beat. I'm going to sleep. I didn't get much of any sleep last night at all! We had a cast party after opening night on Friday and after that some of went to Cattin's (kind of like Denny's) and I didn't get home until about 5:30 in the morning! ;)

(If memory serves, you do get a chance to do some meaningful posturing :)

Flaneur-y will get you nowhere!

And let's hear it for Georgia's own Flaneury O'Connor.

I am chimming in, but really have nothing to say.
-
But I guess by chimming in I did have something to say,
-
Actually I do have something:
For those people that are going to the Friday night performance, any chance you will show up after the Saturday night performance so the rest of us can get to meet you and get together for a bite to eat or something?
-
TiVO ALERT!
The Closer "2 hour special event"---Monday night. Check your local listings.
That is all.
-
DR EDISAURUS did you finish AVENTuRERA as yet?
-
Glad for the CANNIBAL news report.....yes there are box office people who have done the same thing to me....happily selling tickets for ANGRY HOUSEWIVES when there were NO seats left in the theatre and NO PLACE to put chairs....
-
I would say that the light operator was making a computer error known as:
I D ten T......if you write that out with the number instead of the word, you will see what I mean.
-
Working on preparing for the meeting tonight....
-
Can anyone send me an mp3 or wav file of "Love and Marriage" - any singer will do.
-
DR George, re: your water damage. It would seem that your neighbor would be liable for your damage. You should definitely look into this!
-
Cold today and LOTS of birds waiting to be fed, but not colorful ones like DR TOMovOZ has....mine are mostly gray...but there is a bright red cardinal already....

And the word of the day is: FLANEUR!
For some REAL FUN, be a FLANEUR! If you're really good at it, people might think you're dead, and you can celebrate with a FUNERAL!
-
Good Sunday morning to you all. I was on for a bit yesterday (TomofOz noticed) but had to leave when company arrived. We spent a very entertaining afternoon with them and then they left for a movie and we left to visit a different friend and partake of Chinese food. All in all a very nice day and evening.
We return to bag packing tomorrow. A friend who used to be (these are his words, not mine) "a 9-5 corporate whore" but whose job situation has now changed will also be there helping out. I'm very glad he's joined the group, so to speak. It will be good working with him.
We need to eat breakfast. Later, gaters.
-
Sunday morning greetings! It's sunny and very cold here in SW Ohio - my favorite kind of winter day.
DR Ben - we received a very clever holiday greeting card from you and Anthony yesterday. Thanks!

DR ELMORE the Ball Abode is located at 1344 N Ogden Drive. 8)
-
DR EDISAURUS did you finish AVENTuRERA as yet?
No, unfortunately, we haven't seen any TV the past week except for the Weather Channel. (Greg has been shooting outdoors and monitors the weather pretty closely.) We'll be doing housecleaning and working right up until we leave for Santa Fe. (Don't want to frighten our cat sitter!)
After we get back, things will be so much calmer!!
I will report in when we finish it. Can't wait! (But I have to!)

Oh...I see it was her first house. Now it makes sense...

There is a woodpecker calling me. He is requesting more peanuts for breakfast.

I am sure AVENTUrERA will wait, and may even seem TAME after your upcoming advetureras!
Yes it was the house she rented when she moved her family out to California from New York State...and then she was promptly dropped by Columbia...only to be signed by RKO a few hours later. ;D

how did he get your number, DR LAURA? Aren't you on the Bird No Call List? ;D

Good morning!
Another cold but very beautiful day here. Couldn't ask for more of an early December Sunday.
-
So happy to hear that your show is going well, DR George. Since one doesn't get paid for these performances, it's nice when the audience appreciates what you're doing.
-
Oh, I hadn't forgotten about the special two-hour THE CLOSER, DR Edi. I fully intend to write numerous reminders tomorrow.
And I plan to watch it "live" and then watch HEROES (recording on the DVR) in the 10 p.m. slot while STUDIO 60 will have to wait until Tuesday to get seen.
-
Honestly, I had forgotten that THE CLOSER was so "close" upon us. TV GUIDE, which usually comes on Monday for the following week, didn't come until yesterday this week, so I was reminded about THE CLOSER reading it early last evening.
Can't wait to be reuinted with Brenda, Fritz, Sgt. Gabriel, Lts. Provenza and Flynn, and all the others.
And I can't wait for the second season boxed set to be released on DVD so I can relive the entire season again and again.
-
As for my viewing today, I guess I'll go back to the ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN. There are two discs left in the set.
I still have three of NBC's Thursday night comedies to watch. And tonight, I think there are new episodes of COLD CASE and WITHOUT A TRACE. I know DEXTER is new.
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and BROTHERS & SISTERS are reruns, I believe.
-
I'm trying to figure out how der B is going to handle tomorrow's viewings.
I've a late shift at work, and don't get off until ten. This requires him to record Heroes, since we both enjoy it.
He is the Closer fan, I've never been attracted to it (most crime shows bore me), so he can watch that before driving over to pick me up after work.
Which means he'll also want to record Studio 60, to cover his drive time.
It'll be a quick din-din and beddy-bye immediately for myself, once I get home - I turn right around and help open the store at six the next morning! Yipes!
I almost envy him his enjoyment of Closer this time, by the way. The guest star is William Daniels, formerly of Boy Meets World, St. Elsewhere, and My Mother the Car Knight Rider. And 1776, of course.
-
I'm heading downstairs now to put up my CHristmas tree. Yep, it's that "Wizard of Oz" CHristmas tree my dear friends surprised me with several years ago.
WBBL.
-
Good morning, all! I'm fighting a cold, which I think was given to me by Mr Tom Murray, who's currently the MD for the new Ahrens-Flaherty musical going up in Pittsburgh in March (?). We worked on Toyland edits last Tuesday night and he said the cast was all getting colds. So, it's either his fault or the JetBlue recycled air. I slept in a bit this morning, and now I'm tackling some of the incidental bits of music.
I'm happy that my Dear Friend BK liked what he heard yesterday. I was pleased overall with the sound, and there are things I know I want to adjust as well, especially when I hear it with the staging, but I believe the band is ready for the cast tomorrow and that's a really good thing!
DR JRand56, I'm in the 1700 block of Ogden Drive, but I will try to make some excursions to find the house for you.
More later!

I have a question for all the Kimlets and Hainsies:
What is the most practical Christmas gift you've ever recieved?
I'd say that the most practical I've ever recieved is the snowshovel that der Brucer gave me a couple of years ago. Only it hasn't snowed very much since then, which either makes the gift unpractical, after all, or else it has been scaring away the flakes, which makes it practical in ways we hadn't expected.

...
World Book Encyclopedia, 1963 edition, which my parents gave me for Christmas that year. The set saw me through junior high, high school, college, and young adulthood until DH Richard and I traded it in for the 1995 edition when our son was 10. It still sits on the bookcase adjacent to our kitchen dining table and has illuminated many mealtime conversations (and settled a few arguments!)
-
Most practical Christmas present ever: On my first assignment in Italy (my first time out of the USA), my parents sent me a Rival Crockpot. It was Christmas 1973. I was living by myself -- and cooking for myself --for the first time in my life .
Believe it or not, I still have AND USE that crockpot!

I've been up for quite a while. I've spent my morning throwing out catalogs (I must have gotten about 90-plus catalogs over the past month), and composing an e-mail to a record label concerning some CDs I've bought of theirs that have bronzed.
I hate it when things that are supposed to last...well...don't.
-
Last night, I did, indeed, go out. I made a run to Long's Drugs and nosed around and bought a few pretties.
I then went into one of the larger Safeways (grocery) and nosed around. Found NOTHING I wanted (which is unusual for me).
Got home, and rearranged a few things so I could put up my tree. And put it up I did. For entertainment, I watched a couple of episodes of "Rosemary and Thyme" (a BBC light mystery that combines whodunnit with gardening). Not a challenging mystery, but pleasant and time-filling.
I then watched "Ugly Betty" which never disappoints. I'm glad they're pursuing the Christopher Gorham romance with America Ferrera.

As errant/truant DR JoseSPiano would say:
LATERS!
-
What is the most practical Christmas gift you've ever recieved?
Hands down, from Oregon, where there are apparently too many trees: The Weed Wrench!
http://www.weedwrench.com/
I absolutely love this tool. I am a tree hugger but at the same time, there are some invasive trees that need to die. It's empowering to pull up dozens of trees in one afternoon!
I call this exercise pulloutees.
-
If anyone happens upon their local bookstore you might peruse the magazine rack for the new issue of VIDEOWATCHDOG featuring my interview with Mr. Tony Russel (pictured here on the front cover!!!) star of many Italian sci-fi and action pictures as well as working on the stage with DR Charles Pogues good friend June Wilkinson.

And I had nothing to do with the Bollywood horrors article, but it does seem fitting.
-
DR JRand56, my host told me where 1344 N Ogden Drive is located. I believe we'll drive past it today and I will throw a rose for you onto the lawn. Last night I heard the baby next door, and my host Roger tells me it's the great (great?)grandson of Carole Lombard.
-
Any decendant of Carole Lombard can't be merely great. He's got to be Fa-Bou!
Or something to that effect.
Did I actually write that? :o

Der Brucer is patiently (???) waiting to log on here himself.
-
Any decendant of Carole Lombard can't be merely great. He's got to be Fa-Bou!

Well, according to IMDB, Lombard had no children so noiw I'm puzzled. The lady next door is Louise Lombard who's an actress on CSI. I wonder if she told Roger she's the offspring of Carole?

Slept over nine hours, feel much better, and have already jogged.

...Greg has been shooting outdoors and monitors...
When I was a kid, the "bad boys" shot out windows; also, they had no monitors to use for targets.
der Brucer
(Hmm..maybe they have monitor lizards down GA way?)
-
how did he get your number, DR LAURA? Aren't you on the Bird No Call List? ;D
Laura was being kind. The woodpecker was no doubt screeching at her, demanding peanuts - NOW!
My red-bellied friend sits on a tree limb and lectures me as I fill the feeders - as soon as I move a few feet away, he swoops in for the treats.

Good afternoon everyone. I had some bizarre burst of energy this morning and ended up emptying 10 boxes of stuff I just haven't gotten around to emptying, lugging 2 book cases upstairs, filling them and getting my laundry done. There are lots of things to find places for, but they are out of boxes. I'm thinking I'll bring up one more book shelf and will empty all the boxes of books this afternoon.
-
I'm not quite sure why it's taken me so long to get things unpacked. I think it's just moving all the stuff after selling the lake home and then moving all that and everything in my old house to this house last year was just too much. It's fun to actually get some of these things out. But I found a bunch of framed photos of Nilla...it almost made me cry
-
When I was a kid, the "bad boys" shot out windows; also, they had no monitors to use for targets.
Well, he's no Wendy O. Williams, but you know how we Southerners like our guns! ;D
-
I always seem to get practical Christmas gifts. My mother has already give me a nice floor lamp for my living room for this year. I brought it back at Thanksgiving and really love it. I don't get many gifts, so practical ones are fine with me.
-
I haven't eaten very well this weekend, so I'm making a Jenny O Turkey roast (white and dark meat) with mashed potatoes made with sour cream and cream cheese and steamed broccoli with butter for a Sunday dinner. I like to eat midafternoon on Sundays. I will have a wonderful turkey sandwich for lunch tomorrow and can always make a little stovetop stuffing to eat with the left overs tomorrow night. I do love leftovers!

DR Cillaliz---I've also been running across pictures of my ancient cat, Art, while I clean up the house for our housesitter. How could my house get this bad? The cats have been shredding magazines under the bed and I didn't even know it! Matt H would be appalled and would probably have me committed.
Also, what's the deal with cats who like to chew on cardboard boxes? The two femaies like to puncture cardboard boxes with their teeth. Some of these boxes have so many hole punches that it looks like Braiile!
Or are they trying to send me a message?
Hmmmm....
-
I think the gift I have used the most is the digital camera Greg gave me a few years ago. The sales person said it was easy to use and had a large display, so it a good one for "older people". (Kodak Easy Share)
And he's right!
We used to spend a fortune on photo processing of photos we will never look at again...cell towers, polluted streams, historic houses being destroyed. Now they're all on CD---so much easier to deal with!
-
My head is completely full of dust and cat fur.
-
Boo likes to chew on everything..oh, I'm thinking about changing her name. I've never liked Bootsie...so now I'm thinkning about calling her Betty Boop. That way I can still call her Boo, but she has a more feminine name. She actually came when I called her Betty yesterday. Callie Sue and Betty Boop. Sounds good to me.
-
And tonight, I think there are new episodes of COLD CASE and WITHOUT A TRACE. I know DEXTER is new.
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and BROTHERS & SISTERS are reruns, I believe.
There is also the new TNT movie outing - "The Librarian - Return to King Solomon's Mines" with Noah Wylie and directed by Jonathon Frakes (This is a sequel to 2004's "The Librarian - Quest for the Spear".)

-
T-Punk...I just sent you a package. But don't worry, it came from the new, CLEAN house!
Kepp your eyes on the skies for eyes...and feathers and puff balls!
-
Well, time to check the turkey. Then off to the mall to pick up a ring for my mom. I had decided not get her jewelry this year, but when I described a ring I was looking at she said she'd love it. So, they are having a 50 -20-10 % off sale, so I better go today. It's 50% off the original price plus 20 percent off of that price plus 10% off that price. Confusing, but it's a lot cheaper than retail!
-
Boo likes to chew on everything..oh, I'm thinking about changing her name. I've never liked Bootsie...so now I'm thinkning about calling her Betty Boop.
And when you clean the cat boxes, you can just think of it as scooping Boop Poop. Much more fun! Until you get that condition that makes you schizophrenic, as der Brucer alerted us to yesterday, that is.
-
Then off to the mall to pick up a ring for my mom.
I bought my mother a watercolor yesterday from a local artist I like. She is also a bird lover and has bluebird boxes and helps raises several crops of baby bluebirds every year.
She keeps mealworms in her refrigerator and feeds them several times a day. The parents are always very anxious when she appears and give her the "hurry up" call. Then they take turns eating and feeding the babies.
This and 2 Guy Haines CD's represent the start of my Xmas shopping this year.
-
Back to the dust and CD organization. I really have WAY too many CD's.
-
I'm trying to figure out how der B is going to handle tomorrow's viewings.
That will be easy. Imagine the dilemma I'd face next Sunday if I were and Adam Sandler fan:
Running simultaneously:
The Wedding singer on E!
The Waterboy on Encore
Big Daddy on FX
Longest Yard on Showtime

-
I got my Christmas tree put up as well, and I am glad to have that chore finished. Listened to THE ANDY WILLIAMS CHRISTMAS ALBUM while I put it up. It's one of my favorites.
-
I'll have to give the matter a little thought about the most practical Christmas present. Nothing springs immediately to mind though I'm sure I've gotten something other than fun stuff and clothes over the years.
-
I spent the entire afternoon watching SUPERMAN episodes. I got almost the entire box of shows watched with the exception of the last episode which I'll see later today.
One of my favorites, "The Perils of Superman" in which Superman must rescue all of his friends from movie serial predicaments they've been placed in, was the last one I watched. It was also one of three episodes directed by George Reeves.
-
Sadly, George also directed one of the very worst episodes in the entire series, "The Brainy Burro" about a mind-reading donley. Completely lacking in suspense and mystery and with the pace of a snail, it, along with "Mr. Zero" and "The Atomic Threat," has to rank among the worst-ever episodes.
-
There is also an almost nine minute tribute to Jack Larson on the last disc in the set. Much appreciated and he's certainly deserving, I was glad to see this. Nice to see what ranked as his favorite episode ("Jimmy the Kid" where he played two dissimilar roles).
I remember Noel Neill years ago saying that her favorite episode was the last one "All that Glitters" in which she and Jimmy dream they have the powers of Superman.
-
And I have to admit that I thought of several H/Ks here as I watched Joi Lansing as "Mrs. Superman" in the episode "Superman's Wife." She does look very pretty.
-
I know it's not "Ask BK" day, but I'm going to ask anyway:
Is there any way to buy a copy of "Life After Tomorrow" for those of us who don't have Showtime?
It would make a perfect holiday gift for one of my clients, and I'd like to see it as well.
-
There is no dvd of it yet, unfortunately, and I don't have a way of burning one.
-
I've finished stuffing all the packages and they're all in big baggies now, waiting to be taken to the post office. I'm going to try and find someone who can do that tomorrow - the LACC kids are all busy, so it can't be them. It took three hefty bags to hold all the packages. I still have to box up the store orders and will get to those on Tuesday because I don't really care if they get them before the street date.
-
I am hating winter. Last week it was 60F. Then we had the ice storm from hell (all the trees were really bad). Then the next morning it was like nothing happened. But today we had snow. First snow. :(
Can't wait for TAR tonight.

SUNDANCE HAS SPOKEN
(Why Sacco and Vanzetti hasn't a prayer!)

New movie is the spawn of horse sex
By Danny Westneat
Seattle Times staff columnist
Some will say it was inevitable. Obvious, even. But I never saw this one coming.
I'm talking about horse sex, the movie. You all remember that story from the summer of 2005. You can deny it, but I know you remember: A man died from a ruptured colon after having sex with a horse in a barn outside Enumclaw.
The story became an international, Web-driven phenomenon. The Seattle Times' stories about it, though tantalizingly devoid of details, nevertheless became the most-read material in the paper's history.
Everyone had the same headshaking questions, mostly about the logistics of the act itself.
It turns out two Seattle filmmakers had questions, too. They drove out to Enumclaw one day. They were struck by the beauty of the place. It seemed at odds with the secretive, nocturnal society that had just been exposed there.
"By then the whole story had been reduced to joke fodder," says Robinson Devor, 43. "It made me wonder whether there might not be a more complex side to it all."
Against most advice — and, really, all sense — they set out to make a feature-length documentary about a circle of acquaintances drawn together by an unspeakable interest in sex with animals.
Astonishingly, the film appears to be succeeding. It was bought by a New York distributor, THINKFilm. Last week it was one of 16 documentaries accepted to the Sundance Film Festival (out of 856 submitted). It premieres in January.
It's called "Zoo," short for zoophilia. That means "abnormal fondness for animals."
…
The Sundance judges called it a "humanizing look at the life and bizarre death of a seemingly normal Seattle family man who met his untimely end after an unusual encounter with a horse."
"They called us and were excited about the imagery, the poetry, the experimentation with the documentary form," says Charles Mudede, the film's writer and an editor at the alternative weekly The Stranger.

I guess I'm heading down now to clean the guest bath, finish that last SUPERMAN episode, and then watch a movie.
I suspect it's going to be SAN FRANCISCO.

More fodder from the Seattle Times (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003456308_corrigan01m.html)
Well-known GOP activist held in sex-predator sting
By Christine Clarridge
Seattle Times staff reporter
Larry Corrigan, a well-known activist in local Republican politics as a backer of U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert and King County Prosecuting Attorney Norm Maleng, was arrested Wednesday in an Internet sting for allegedly trying to arrange sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Corrigan was the director of financial operations at the prosecutor's office for more than 25 years and was deputy treasurer in Reichert's 1997 and 2001 runs for King County sheriff. He was also a supporter without an official role in Reichert's congressional campaigns.
According to the Seattle Police Department, Corrigan, 54, of Seattle, was chatting online with an undercover police officer who was posing as a 13-year-old girl when he agreed to meet the minor at a Capitol Hill video store on Broadway for sex.
He was booked into King County Jail around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday for investigation of the attempted rape of a child and communicating with a minor for immoral purposes.

Sounds like a treatment for L&O -SVU

I have received several practical Christas gifts over the years which I have loved, including this here computer, the DVD, the TV, the surround sound system, the TV in my room. I have told Vixdad that if he ever throws me out I'm taking all of my electronic Christmas gifts wih me!
-
The Vixter wants me to mention the Magic Bullet that she bought for me for Christmas last year. Yes I love it and I don't use it as much as I should and I'll try and use it every day from now on... now go away and stop reading over my shoulder

Back from a brief afternoon at the office. Terrible trouble getting a cab home, which is unusual for a Sunday. Is it Christmas shopping time or something like that?
The office is right near macy's and I'm surprised cabs weren't trying to pick up fares at Macy's.

Does the Vixter need photos for her powerpoint? I have lots of photos, if she needs any -- landscape, bird, animal, etc.

Popping back in for a minute:
"Decorated" my tree this afternoon!
And I watched "The Young Philadelphians". Quite a nice bit of entertainment with dynamic performances, tons of lurid sensationalism (circa 1959), and a great Ernest Gold score.
Paul Newman and Barbara Rush were terrific, and Robert Vaughn had a nice part, including a scene in which he chewed the scenery with a vengeance. Alexis Smith also had a part in the early going and gave an homage to Patricia Neal's prowling-in-her- nightgown scene from "The Fountainhead."
I've also napped.
It's been quite a day!

Back from:
1. Festooning our bannister with a lighted holly garland and bows.
2. Edging the mantle with bubble lights (a tradition from DH Richard's childhood) and hanging the stockings with care
3. Lunching with DS Richard at Panera Bread
4. Shopping at Barnes & Noble and Starbucks
5. Shopping at Kroger
6. Chatting on the phone with my aunt
7. Chatting on the phone with my mother-in-law
8. Eating popcorn while watching our videotape of the first Librarian movie in preparation for the sequel this evening
Now I need to make my Fiesta Dip for a potluck at work tomorrow - I'll prepare the veggies in the morning.

Just checking in.
Looking forward to next Saturday in LA
-
I finished the SUPERMAN set with "All That Glitters" and enjoyed seeing the last filmed episode. And now, my SUPERMAN TV collection is complete.
-

Yay!
I put a reminder on my calendar. COnsider it done.

Next, I watched SAN FRANCISCO. I watched the VHS of it some months ago and was hoping the DVD would be a huge step up. Frankly, I didn't think it was. I understand there is only so much you can do to make a 1936 film look polished and pristine, but I don't think Warners put much effort into this one. I saw a fair amount of dirt and scratches, more than I was expecting. Kind of a disappointment though I'm glad to have it.
I didn't watch the Gable documentary that is on the disc. I had seen it on TCM before, and it's pretty good, but I wanted to move on to another film.
-
I had some DVDs arrive today. Will I fiind the courage to see if Val Kilmer really is Moses.
-
Next, I put in THE PAJAMA GAME. I hadn't watched this in quite some time, the last of the films in the Doris Day box that I've gotten to. (I had already watched the previous DVD release, and this is the same one in a new case).
Looked pretty good. What an excellent movie musical this is. Stanley Donen is going to do one of those Robert Osborne/PRIVATE SCREENINGS interviews this week, and I'll be eager to see if this gets talked about much. I suspect it won't; it tends to get overlooked in his filmography despite its excellence.
-
Some new CDs today too!
Michael Ball's "One"
and
David Campbell's new Cd ""The Swing Sessions"
-
COLD CASE tonight had a story stolen directly from BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, only in this case it was two cops in 1968 rather than two cowboy/ranchers.
I have to say that this season on various networks has had more male/male kissing than I can ever remember in years past. Seems like it isn't the taboo it once was to show this on TV.
-
and Pop music too!
The Beatles "Love" (already #2 seller here in Oz)
and for those old enough to remember:
Bobby Vee - The Singles Collection . 3 CD set from EMI (UK). Some rare and unreleased before (on CD) material.
-
DEXTER had a stomach-churning episode as the Ice Truck Killer begins his final countdown to gaining Dexter's attention and respect. And, of course, friends and relatives in Dexter's circle are now the targets, so we're squirming for them constantly during the hour.
-
I'm heading on down now for bed.
Good night!
-
DR George, re: your water damage. It would seem that your neighbor would be liable for your damage. You should definitely look into this!
Yes, we are definitely looking into this. My mom is mad! She's going to call the owner's insurance company to find out what's going on.
-
DR George, a gentle reminder that we still would like to see photographic evidence of your Indian do-mi-do duds!
-
Busy day today! The weather was nice so I felt the need to clean up the yard a bit...and then I cleaned up the living room, which was much messier then the yard.
-
Where in tarnation IS everyone?
-
Am now watching # 2 Bollywood movie of the weekend KAAGAZ KE PHOOL (1959) starring Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman.
What a wonderful film this one is! Story of a married film director who slowly begins to fall in love with the young lady who he has made into a star.
I am only half way though it but I smell tragedy already!

-
Has anyone ever seen a film called "The Minx"? I bought the soundtrack months ago (by The Cyrkle---very '60's) but just got around to listening to it while I was cleaning today.
I get the feeling it could be quite....lurid.
-
Where in tarnation IS everyone?
I've gotta go drop off an invoice for my DH who is under the weather.
BBL...
-
BK, tell Merrill I'd love to take her out for coffee when she's in Atlanta and hear about the show, since I can't go!
-
Good news about those packages BK.
-
I should have prefaced that with "please". I didn't mean to order you around!
-
DR George, a gentle reminder that we still would like to see photographic evidence of your Indian do-mi-do duds!
Oh, that's right. ::) Well...pictures haven't been taken yet. I'll try to get some during this weekend's performances.
-
Is it just me or is the HHW clock off by an entire hour? I posted my last post at 9:19 (according to my computer clock) and the HHW clock said 10:21:27.
-
So happy to hear that your show is going well, DR George. Since one doesn't get paid for these performances, it's nice when the audience appreciates what you're doing.
Thanks! Today's audience was a little smaller than last night, but they did like it and showed their appreciation at curtain call time. :)
-
Good morning, all! I'm fighting a cold, which I think was given to me by Mr Tom Murray, who's currently the MD for the new Ahrens-Flaherty musical going up in Pittsburgh in March (?).
A new show by Ahrens and Flaherty?? What's it about? I love their music and shows!!
-
I was wondering that too DR George. I was going to check their Web site. Is Dessa Rose now dead and buried I wonder.
-
I have a question for all the Kimlets and Hainsies:
What is the most practical Christmas gift you've ever recieved?
Socks and underwear. :P
;)
-

I don't know about Dessa Rose, but their website (http://www.ahrensandflaherty.com) says, "Their newest musical, The Glorious Ones, will premiere at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre in April, 2007."
-
Just checked that too George.
-
I'll mention it to Merrill.
-
I'm having a real 60s night at the movies tonight.
-
I love The Cyrkle, DR Edisaurus...I may have to check that out.
-
Tomovoz - Dessa Rose apparently just got a major production at Theatreworks in Palo Alto, California, USA.
-
hehe, usually I stay awake to post on page one, but seeing as i have a sudddenly tyranical, er i mean caring, mother, I will be in bed soon.
OH my, shopping for Bruce's birthday present was a very interesting experience. After his almost absolute lack of help, I was left standing in the middle of the Macy's mens department feeling like a stranger in a strange land. There were so many colors of the same style of shirt my head was spinning! My mother was hoving and hurrying me to make a decision so I could go home and do homework, but I searched until I found something I thought was nice.
Did you know that companys purposfully place the men's department on the ground level floor because researchers found that men are more inclined to go into the store on their own if they do not have to go out of their way to get there. I think that is funny...
YAY it's the last few days before the show!!! These days are always my favorite because of the excitement an costumes and stress, it's just the best part!!!
I listened to all my broadway cd's today to get me through my math homework, It was a very productive day I must say.
Have a good monday everyone!
-
Looking forward to the California trip. I realized I haven't linked Skip's plane ticket to his frequent flier number and am assuming it's not too late to do that.
-
Thanks FJL. I've had the Cd here for so long and not really given it a good listen!
I'm very fond of "A Man Of No Importance"
-
And one for mileage
-
Degrees of separation: Tom, when you listen to Dessa Rose, you will hear William Parry playing various roles; William Parry can also be heard on the Kritzerland release of Last Starfighter, in the roles performed by BK in the NYMF readings this fall.
-
An incentive. I'm listening to The Beatles at the moment!
-
I'm not usually a fan of remixes etc but "Love" sounds wonderful.
-
DR TomovOz, are these the remixes that George Martin's son did? Greg told me about it but he didn't know the name of the album.
And did you know Brian Epstein signed The Cyrkle and John Lennon gave them their name? I just found that out. It all comes full Cyrkle, I guess.

I believe you can even do it after you've taken the trip, but certainly you can before. I'd call a Delta agent to make sure it happens. The ticket agent at the airport might be able to do it, too.
-
Goodnight, all!
-
Oh, I forgot to ask BK---did you find some help in NY?
-
Yep the Martin & Son album.
The Cyrkle had a hit with Red Rubber Ball - co-written by Bruce of OZ.
I'm not sure what that means but the other writer was Paul Simon and BK produced an album of Simon songs. Connections everywhere. Cyrkles everywhere.
-
"Red Rubber Ball" -- and the Bobby Vee Cd I mentioned above has "Rubber Ball"
-
Rubber Ball was written by Gene Pitney who also wrote "He's A Rebel" which was a hit here for Vikki Carr - just so that I can get another link back to yesterday. Yesterday is of course on the "Love" album.
-

I like that one, too.

Submit your own titles:
"When Maidenhood Was Deflowered"

"The Road to Banbury Cross" placed second.
-
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, only in this case it was two cops in 1968 rather than two cowboy/ranchers.
The characters in Brokeback Mountain were NOT cowboys and/or ranchers (IMDB notwithstanding). - they were sheepherders!

I remember seeing this on one of those "Before They Were Stars" type shows. It's pretty funny. :)
