(And I'll bet Jerry and the new female lawyer he's sharing an office with are going to be set up as a love interest.)

You're probably right, but I was actually thinking that Jerry and Clarence's (Clarice's) singing partner should hook up.

I watched BACK TO YOU, the new sitcom again tonight. This will be the last time I bother watching it. Once again, Ty Burrell was the only funny thing to me in the whole show, and as much as I like him, I'm not checking back each week just for his small part of the story.

Most of the episode involved a succession of dead goldfish, and I just didn't find all the mishaps funny at all.

I thought maybe Clarence and Clarence's partner would eventually hook up!

Waiting for PRIVATE PRACTICE to come on, I put THE JUNGLE BOOK back on and started watching the special features. There was one 6-minute storyboard sequence that was never animated but which was going to feature a hippo character voiced by Frank Fontaine. Nice to see, but I think Walt was right in having the animators drop it. Another big goofy character wasn't needed with Baloo already there.

And I ended my evening with DIRTY SEXY MONEY. Kind of interesting Kennedy-like family full of misbehaving adult kids and secrets that the various members of the family will need to be hid. Wonderful cast playing the spoiled Darlings and Peter Krause playing the lawyer covering up their messes.

I recorded CSI: NY which I'll try to squeeze in sometime tomorrow. I really would like to finish up THE JUNGLE BOOK set tomorrow before getting back to CRIMINAL MINDS.

One nice thing about CRIMINAL MINDS is that the episodes are not open-ended or serialized. Each episode stands on its own as a separate story. That's a great pleasure after watching all of the serialized DVD sets over the past two or three weeks.

Darn it all to heck! My camera captured only ONE photo before the battery gave out. But it's a beaut:

I can't remember if this was BEFORE or AFTER they got completely smashed...

It's a little past time for me to leave work, so I'm leaving. Off to TV watching.

Needless to say, it was great fun, with laughter, food, merriment, and legs. But if I don't go to bed now, I'll be completely no good tomorrow, so I will have to add more details tomorrow, unless other DRs with more energy than I can fill you in before then.

Good night!

Back from a lovelier than lovely evening with all manner of lovelier than lovely folks. The show was pretty good - sort of quiet small crowd, who became more vocal as the show went on. We had another complete audience dud for the Brain Tap and I'm finding it really disheartening how hard it is to just get normal, uncomfortable people into the scene - everyone we've had, save for Friday night's mark, has been terrible and "on" instead of just being embarrassed and real, which is all it takes for that scene to work like gangbusters. Actually, as Cason was walking the aisle I pointed out who I wanted him to take and he misunderstood who I was pointing to (MusicGuy).

We had one light cue screwup, so that we lost a huge laugh at the beginning of the first General's scene, the first forty seconds of which played in complete darkness because a light cue was jumped. Why it took forty seconds to jump back to the right cue is unknown to me and no one cared to explain it to me.
And there were several missed sfx because of wiring problems, which I told them must be fixed by Friday.

After the show, we all toddled off to the Theatre Row diner, where we supped, and them MusicGuy incited us all to go to the Brooklyn Diner for dessert, which we all dutifuly did. We had so much fun - Singdaw is a great guy, Jeanne looked great and seemed to be having fun, Miss Karen was delightfully delightful, Jose, Jason, Cason, BJ, and Music Guy were all in fine fettle - we laughed and laughed and just when we thought we could laugh no more we laughed again. Tales were told, much of it quite ribald.

Going to write a bit and then head downstairs to bed.

It's still a very cute photo. I am sad to miss Music Guy and Jeanne!

When I got back home there was an annoying e-mail from the LACC people - two weeks ago I'd requested payment number two for our fundraiser, and it's just been a nightmare of nitpicking crap from them ever since, and we're no closer to getting the check than we were two weeks ago (the check was due promptly on the 15th). Unfortunately, the then president of LACC who arranged the funding, is no longer there, and he was fearful that this would happen. I've asked him to be of whatever help he can.

I hate packing, especially after spending the last two weeks UNpacking. But I haven't unpacked everything yet, so I find myself looking for things in boxes.

This is making me tired!

But---this time tomorrow we'll be in NY, NY!

I had another e-mail from the owner of the apartment where I'm staying - he asked me as a favor if I'd show his friend the apartment this evening, as his friend is thinking about subletting in October. I thought the friend's name sounded familiar, and when he showed up to see the jernt, I knew immediately it was Greg Morrison, the compoaer of The Drowsy Chaperone, whom I'd met in LA when I recorded the overture. We had a nice chat. And now here I am, not quite ready to write the notes.

To end our evening here.....if you can get past the badly written banter of the first minute or so....you can hear Miss Miyoshi Umeki sing ... as you may not be familiar with... unless you have one of her solo albums.

Very nice.

I think TCB mentioned a bad review for the CD of The Brain - I don't remember any.
