Some of them are very funny.

No UPS delivery yet, so I'm heading down now to clean up for the rest of my day. I must also pack some items for my overnight trip, and then I'll find some stuff to watch for fun.

Good morning, all! Today, I have a lot of things to take care of around the apartment. Yesterday afternoon I finaly got an invoice from George for the bookshelves, and I need to move some money around my bank accounts to cover his check. I also need to inventory the contents of the cartons going to Miami University and seal them. I think I wil ship them next Monday or Tuesday. The good news this morning is that my health premium check has cleared so I am safely insured for the next couple of months.

This morning I am listening to the soundtrack of FINIAN'S RAINBOW for the first time in ages and, much as I like the film, I prefer the stage arrangements and orchestrations. The one exception is the Ravel-inspired Dance of the Golden Crock, based on "Old Devil Moon,"which is really lovely and completely different from the show's version. I love Petula Clark and most of the cast - I still find Tommy Steele creepy - so maybe I'll drag the DVD out and watch it again.

TOD:
DVD: several Netflix things are still sitting here
CD: FINIAN'S RAINBOW (OBC, City Center, soundtrack), Liz Callaway, Guy Haines, Appalachian songs
VHS: cheap porn

Some of the new show pick-ups were mentioned in last night's posts.

I just read that in addition to MODERN FAMILY, ABC has also picked up full seasons of COUGAR TOWN and THE MIDDLE.

Good morning.

Lots of jack-hammering going on outside since early this morning. Some guys working on scaffolding on the building across the street. I think they are doing facade repairs and maintenance. They are very noisy and woke me up.

I still have last night's THE MENTALIST to watch.

The book signing i went to was pretty good. Although I must say the reading part was a bit underwhelming. She read the prologue for the new book which was completely disjointed from the rest of the book and made no sense on its own (and no characters we knew).

The Q&A part was amazing and very imformative. I was just a bit bummed because she was giving out really cool things to people who asked questions (bags and t-shirts with the book's logo). And she ran out 2 people before my question.

It's sort of a good thing i didn't have the book to sign. Because i think the line-up would have been way more than an hour. There had to be more than 100 people ahead of me. And she was taking way more than 1 minute per person.

But overall it was very interesting.

Sorry to have missed a few milestones! Tax season has been very busy.

Thanks, Druxy, for those links!!! The Scary Poppins was especially funny, but all were great to see.

BTW, in that vein, here's Jean Luc Godard's THE LAST STARFIGHTER.

Meeting Vixmom and Ginny for John's Pizza on Saturday the 24th between matinee and evening shows. Anyone else in town want to join us? Fred? Jose? Larry? Ben? Anyone? Everyone?

So glad to read such wonderful reports from the dress and first preview of Finian's Rainbow. And thanks for the photo of the show curtain - I like that!

So Obama just won the Nobel Peace Prize.
What did he do?

Julie · « **Reply #41 on:** October 09, 2009, 07:22:51 AM »

Oh, I see.

"Extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."

Well, I like him, too, but this seems a little early to be rewarded with such a prestigious prize.

Julie · « **Reply #42 on:** October 09, 2009, 07:23:41 AM »

But congratulations to the President.

Julie · « **Reply #43 on:** October 09, 2009, 07:24:44 AM »

And congrats to Jose for the reprieve from apartment woes. Hope you find a lasting solution soon!

Need to catch up on other posts. Be back soon.

We'll also have my DH Richard and DR The Vixter along - sounds like fun!

Pizza on October 24th sounds great for me! If someone can arrange for October 24th to be after the October 15th tax rush!

Ooh, I just checked my calendar and looks like October 24th IS after October 15th this year - yay!

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I think I had one of the soundest, deepest sleeps I've had in a long time.

Ginny · « **Reply #48 on:** October 09, 2009, 08:42:09 AM »

Well, my mother did NOT cancel our plans for today and, in fact, added a couple of errands to our agenda.

Bye for now!

It was fun(ny) hearing about how the Nobel Prize committee did not call the White House in advance of the announcement since they did not want to wake up President Obama (due the time difference between Oslo and DC).

In other news...

For those DRs spending this holiday weekend in NYC, remember that all but three subway lines are being worked on this weekend. Check www.mta.info before heading out, and plan some extra time for your travels. *In other words, it's not a good weekend to be a tourist in NYC.

I'm up, I'm up, and I have to leave in about twenty minutes. Luckily, I showered just before going to bed.

Odd dreams with an odd cast of female characters - like Nine but with me as Guido.

Spam with cheese is a favorite lunch of mine. But it has to be Velveeta.

I am also sad that SOUTHLAND was canceled. I was just thinking about it last night and wondering where it was on the schedule.

Sounds like FINIAN'S RAINBOW is going over! I must FIND my copy of the movie soundtrack!
