Wrote four pages of musical. Here is the current conundrum - I was, unfortunately, very public about doing this musical when David and I started writing it back in 2001. It was, in fact, based on a film script of mine that I'd written in 1992. David sort of solved its problems and we began work. Now, there is a musical that's been kicking around for the past three years that is suspiciously like ours - called It Came From Beyond. Our costume designer did its costumes and she told me a bit about it - it sounded to me like the plot devices they used were not very good, but the ideas are basically the same - a spoof of low-budget 50s sci-fi movies. It Came From Beyond has been playing for a month or so - got okay but not great reviews (not that THAT matters here in LA) and I know some "people" have been to see it (re other productions) - so the question is to mush on or not mush on. My instinct is we should because what we're doing is, I'm sure, much funnier than what they do (that's the big complaint about their show - not funny enough), and I'm sure our musical score is quite different from theirs. But the idea is the same and I wish I'd kept my big trap shut back then.

I say you mush on and provide a history of how it all got written, that it started back in 2001 and that it was, in fact, based on a film script that YOU had written in 1992...and, as JRand said, let the public decide.

Good Evening!

Ah... Just another Tuesday night at home... Flipping between the Olympics and "American Idol"... I warmed up my leftover Chinese food for dinner... And had a "Carmelita Bar" from Whole Foods for dessert... Yummy!

Is it Valentine's Day or something like that?

I'm attemping to make a nice dinner for DB Jed in honor of Valentine's Day. I was hoping to do something involving steak, but I'm so inexperienced at cooking them...so I chickened out and ended up with...well...chicken

DR elmore - I thought you were staying for the concert... In any case, Welcome Back.

*And I will call you tomorrow.

DR Ginny - When I stopped by the Hershey's Store today, they had all the Extra Dark bars back in stock. However, it looked like almost everything else was bought up for Valentine's Day. I overheard one of the clerks saying, "Wow! It's only 4:00, and we're already out of all the Valentine's candy!"

-And from the look of the line to the cash registers, I'm pretty sure that was a true statement.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #127 on:** February 14, 2006, 05:48:12 PM »

As for "Letterman"... I don't think I got on camera today, but I had a great time. This was about my fourth or fifth time attending a taping of "The Late Show", and I'd have to say this was my favorite time. The guests - Julianne Moore, Randy Jackson and the O'Jays - all seemed to be on the game tonight, and Dave seemed to be having a good time today too. And the sound check for the O'Jays took place during the commercial break, and they used the song, "Money, Money, Money" for it. Very cool - and it was neat seeing how they would go from the back-up singers, to the string section, to the O'Jays... It was a out and out jam session. And after they performed "Love Train" on the air, they went on to "Backstabber" during the commercial break. Very happening!

HA!

"American Idol" just featured a featurette called, "Brokenote Mountain".

BK - Glad to know that your class went well today. -Do we need to start working on topics for next week's classes?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #130 on:** February 14, 2006, 05:50:37 PM »

DR SWW - I hope Gwen is all right too.

Hello all. I brought one more load of stuff from the old house to the new one, made some mashed potatoes to go with my left over roast beef and am settling in to watch the Olympics. My 2 cents on the coverage is that I like it. I enjoy seeing a little of this and a little of that. Then again, I like it all.

George · « **Reply #132 on:** February 14, 2006, 06:10:34 PM »

Well, I'm leaving now. I'm ushering tonight for "Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo," performing here in Olympia. I can't wait! Only a couple more hours!

George · « **Reply #133 on:** February 14, 2006, 06:11:35 PM »

Here is also another site for Les Trocks.

Here's what my DH Richard gave me for Valentine's Day - one is Pure Extra Dark Chocolate; one is Extra Dark with cranberries, blueberries and almonds; and one is Extra Dark with macadamia nuts and cranberries. YUM!

I am SO addicted to those DR Ginny! Not only do they taste wonderful, but they don't raise my blood sugar...as long as I limit myself to two squares...which is plenty...usually! LOL!

Oh, and the cheapest place to buy them is Walgreens...in case you ever want more!

HAPPY VALINTINE’S DAY!

BK, is this show IT CAME FROM BEYOND the same one that played the New York Musical Theater Festival (NYMF) last fall?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #141 on:** February 14, 2006, 06:27:43 PM »

Hmm... Dr. Phil's Valentine Special... House... The Olympics... According to Jim... -Now that's what I call Variety!

Jane · « **Reply #142 on:** February 14, 2006, 06:35:34 PM »

CP we have also stopped exchanging Valentine’s cards and I still have some of our pet cards from birthdays and various holidays. They are cute.

I’m just pleased Keith is home and not traveling anymore, best gift of all. I did buy the See’s chocolate hearts.

Jane · « **Reply #143 on:** February 14, 2006, 06:36:51 PM »

I need to wash the dishes and then I’m going to try and watch some ice skating. I haven’t seen any of it yet.

bk · « **Reply #144 on:** February 14, 2006, 06:50:59 PM »

Yes, that's the show, FJL. Did you see it?

Next week's class topics are no prob - we'll be singing for both classes.

bk · « **Reply #145 on:** February 14, 2006, 07:04:08 PM »

Why am I sitting here like so much fish on Valentine's Day?
