Good morning, all! I believe today is Stephen Sondheim's 82nd birthday.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday, Steve !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last nightI had weird very long dream about several friendships that have fallen in the dust: Ethan Mordden, Tommy Krasker, and Snooky Barton, all in the same dream about a concert and two lost music scores, a vocal score for Messager's opera-comique [i[Passionnement[/i] and an orchestra score for Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. Oy!
I am waiting to hear from my DEAREST ENEMY team about a fix that didn't make the new full score since that will determine a part of my day.
DR Danise, the new London production of SWEENEY TODD stars Michael Ball! Here's a photo from the production.

Tuesday was the first day of SPRING SPRING SPRING.

-
It is clear sky and cold at my house, 2 blocks away the fog is so thick I could barely see through it while driving.
Or maybe I could just bearly see.
???
-
Off to work. Yea for Thursday, one day closer to Friday and the weekend.
Lots and lots of walking and lots and lots of cd music listening in store for me.
Oh yea and house work. Yuck. ;)
-
Back to not saying much else, the ex of my boyfriend is intent on making his life miserable until the review for the latest child custody battle is over.
I'm done with her blaming me for whatever her problem is. I'll just not be around when he has his son.
Too bad, oh well.
;D
Maybe i'll get my housework and yardwork done. Yea that's the attitude I need.
;D
-
Smiles and cheers for everyone.

Sending more vibes for all seems to be the order for the day!
-
Spring sure as hell hasn't sprung here--we're once again under about 8 inches of snow. Incredible.
-
Doesn't "hornswoggle" mean to be fooled, as in "bamboozled"? Weren't you actually gobsmacked? ;)
-
Gobsmacked is one of my favorite words from my British heritage.
-
So, I guess if it's Stephen Sondheim's birthday, then it must also be Andrew Lloyd Webber's birthday. Just sayin'.

It appears that a tree between my house and the neighbor's has not survived the snow. It's on their property, which means clean up is their responsibility. ;)

Vacation vibes for DR ARNOLDBROCKMAN

Congratulations to DR CILLA LIZ on her victory.

Vibes for DR ELMORE .

It's weird that some DRs are having heavy winter. And we are having summer weather. But i think today is going to be the last day of summer weather (80s). Tomorrow is supposed to be a high of 60F. And then it is supposed to be 50ish or less. It's so crazy to have such warm weather in March. But i have to say i also find it odd that the temps are yoyo-ing.
It is also very weird to have such hot temps. But the grass is all gross and brown. I love seeing nice green grass.
-
I do love pasta, although don't eat it that much. My favorite sauce is rosee sauce (basically tastes like if you mix alfredo and tomato together). Yum.

This is turning out to be a fun season of SURVIVOR. Is anyone watching?

Cat has to be one of the stupidest players EVER, and that's saying quite a bit. :)

Safe home, ArnoldMBrockman.

TOD: I'm dreaming right now of butternut squash-stuffed ravioli in a brown butter sauce. And squid ink-black noodles with a medley of white seafood, such as squid, in a saffron-seafood stock. And rigatoni with a hearty tomato sauce and plenty of spicy sausage. And, as always, linguine with white clam sauce and an extra helping of clams in the shell.

I was talking about SURVIVOR and the idiot female Cat who was gobsmacked last night by a discussion about appendicitis, which she had never heard of.
-
Thursday morning greetings! As predicted, Suzy and I got back from Columbus by midnight (just barely), but I was unable to get to sleep until about 4am. Probably from drinking a latte in the Starbucks cafe while waiting for her at Barnes & Noble. She kept apologizing for dragging me along, but it was worth it to see her so excited to meet someone whose blog she's been following since the beginning:

Suzy was equally excited to meet Ree Drummond's husband, fondly known as The Marlboro Man:

I'm sorry, but I read that as "play" not "player" though I think a one-person version of "Cats" is workable for, say, Toni Collette and the multiple personalities she could bring to the role. Toni IS Grizabella, Toni IS Gus, Toni IS Rum Tug Tugger, all in one show.

Greetings from Toyland! Unexpected emergency.
Keep those office vibes coming!

From DR JMK:
Zach leaned into me and whispered intently, "Walk away from the crime scene. . .walk away from the crime scene."
;D
-
DR Cilla I'm glad he got good grades.

VIBES FOR DR SAM!

We had some snow last night but not enough to keep us from getting Sherlock to the vet this morning for his dental work.
-
Nice pics DR Ginny.

Spring sure as hell hasn't sprung here--we're once again under about 8 inches of snow. Incredible.
Do you mean March is not normally a month of snow and cold?

LOL! I loved it when Jeff asked her about some strategy and all she said she was worried about was "catching appendicitis". Like it was some transmissable disease!!!
I think it was "too soon" for what happened to happen.
I'm guessing it was a last-minute decision based on what actually happened during the episode.

Yes. Don't you think Tarzan comes in a close second based on his tunnel vision alone?

Some of you may have seen this link but it's worth listening to just for the use of "hysterectomy" in a song lyric
Industrial Shows (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01dhn6r/There_Is_Business_Like_Show_Business/)
It's a half-hour BBC radio documentary about industrial shows. It's interesting on it's own but there are also snippets of songs played and one of them (at about the 22:00 mark on the clock) references a hysterectomy.
It's only available to listen through Monday March 26 at about 5:30 (EST)

Uh, oh - office vibes for DR Elmore!

I'm up after a good night's beauty sleep. The pool man was here but I have no idea if he put the new pump motor in or not - I guess I'll know in about an hour when it automatically should go on.
-
Old snow is falling in huge clumps off of the trees even as new snow is falling. Welcome to the Pacific Northwest.
-
The last full score came through for DEAREST ENEMY, and the copyist has neither had a breakdwn nor throttled me. There's some potentially good casting news coming down the pike as well.

Great photos, Ginny. I have a copy of her cookbook. I think I should use it more often than I do. Good home cooking.

And since we're so close...

PAGE THREE DANCE!! ;D

This is turning out to be a fun season of SURVIVOR. Is anyone watching?
Me, I am! Last night was crazy. I was worried re: the promo that someone would be hurt/or have to leave.

DISCUSSION of LAST NIGHT'S SURVIVOR
LOL! I loved it when Jeff asked her about some strategy and all she said she was worried about was "catching appendicitis". Like it was some transmissable disease!!!
I think it was "too soon" for what happened to happen.
I'm guessing it was a last-minute decision based on what actually happened during the episode.
I agree that what happened last night was ridiculous. Do they really change the game based on if one team is losing? They had only had like 3 challenges. Granted that orange team was terrible. The blue team was awesome. I am curious to see if the girls get back together. Or if kim and chelsea stick with the guys they bonded with. Also the guy who left ... OMG he probably would have done well. But he was so mean and rude. It was lovely of Christina to take care of him after he so rudely told her she could go jump in the fire. I really cannot understand how he got so ugly and in control of things. Remember the first episodes he was saying he was an outsider and crying to the women. Also for him to leave with his idol, which he did not even find. What a mean person!
-
Nice pics DR Ginny.
Thanks, DR Jane! I was glad to be there to take pictures for Suzy and especially glad she didn't have to drive home by herself so late at night. It was just us and the semis on I-70!
-
Is anyone going to the Hunger Games? I am so excited. But only going on Tuesday.
-
Spring sure as hell hasn't sprung here--we're once again under about 8 inches of snow. Incredible.

Well i am wearing shorts! :)
-
Great photos, Ginny. I have a copy of her cookbook. I think I should use it more often than I do. Good home cooking.
Thanks, DR John G! Last night's appearance was part of the book tour for her second cookbook. I didn't buy it or her first one because I'm trying not to acquire more cookbooks and her recipes, yummy as they look, are anything but heart-healthy. I did discover today that she also has more of a memoir and I would have bought that and had it autographed had I known last night. The trip came up kind of spur-of-the-moment and I wasn't adequately prepared. Oh, well, at least I was able to be Suzy's navigator!

Tarzan the plastic surgeon? Does nobody know this? He was able to diagnose what was wrong right away

There are a lot of carbs, too, as I recall.

I have been moved into my new cubicle out in the light. It's very different. Must start behaving professionally again, I guess.

What I heard him diagnose was dehydration. It wasn't until one of the medics said "possible appendicitis" did I hear that word.

No, Tarzan definitely mentioned appendicitis as a likely suspect before the doctors arrived.

Jennifer, I mentioned a couple of days ago that Betsy is taking Zach to the midnight premiere of THE HUNGER GAMES this very night. About 80 of his classmates are going.

Havinig finished my Tony Bennett album, I've moved on to Drew Casper opining about TO CATCH A THIEF. ;)
-
News to make JR's heart go pit-a-pat: SMASH just got renewed.

I woke at 3.30 after 4 hours sleep and couldn't get back to sleep again. I've rarely woken so early - really frustrating.
-
It's been hot and sunny here for several days now.

No office news from DR elmore. I hope all is going well!!!

Last we heard Sherlock's dental work was going well & the tooth is still intact. :) The work needed to be finished. I hope he is beginning to wake up now.
-
No office news from DR elmore. I hope all is going well!!!
There will be no news for several days on anything I'm needing vibes to overcome. I need vibes for the office, completing DEAREST ENEMY, casting DEAREST ENEMY, and the stress, not to mention the failing friendship. Keep 'em coming!

Sherlock is awake! Now I can breathe easily.
-
This morning, i took all the heavy blankets off the bed and put them away. Ihope this helps my sleeping.
This afternoon, I took another cooking break, used up the ground pork and beef and made sme really deelish chili con carne. Between that and the spaghetti sauce, i'm set for majot meals for the next month. I'm waiting for thechili to cool to put a lot of it into the freezer.
Tomorrow morning, I will do laundry before I see my doctor at 11:30. If I can finish by 10, that gives me an hour to put the laundry away and clean myself up. I can't see how high today's hunidity is, but I'm guessing it's fairly high since I've been sweating ;ike crazy all day. I haye this weather.
-
DR elmore will you be discussing the symptom's that sent you to ER?
-
News to make JR's heart go pit-a-pat: SMASH just got renewed.
Yeah. Really really like this show.
-
Jennifer, I mentioned a couple of days ago that Betsy is taking Zach to the midnight premiere of THE HUNGER GAMES this very night. About 80 of his classmates are going.
Yes I remember you mentioning it. I am curious how popular the movie will be here. And if the midnight showings will be packed. I am curious how closely it will follow the books.
-
Post deleted.
-
Re the HUNGER GAMES movie I will also be very interested to see if the actors are any good. The one I am most worried about is Peeta. Physically he is shortish. And he does not look how I picture the character. The actor does seem sweet. I will give him the benefit of the doubt till i see him act. I really hope the movie does not disappoint. It is one of my favorite books.
-
;D
Just making sure :) It could have been for something else that you didn't mention.
-
Hope sherlock is okay.
-
Had a nice early lunch, picked up no packages, and spent the last two hours writing the commentary, which is done and out of the way. So, I'll write my memorial remarks tomorrow. Now I can relax for about two and a half hours before being on my way to see Spring Awakening.
-
Where is everyone tonight?
Good night.
-
Hope sherlock is okay.
Thanks. He is not happy, pacing & panting & I expect in pain. He doesn't understand what we are doing it to prevent a bad infection from happening.

Thanks DR George. He is lying next to me whimpering. At least he has settled down. I want to get up but don't dare disturb him.
-
Well, I'm off to my sister's house. The family is getting together for some dinner and probably some game playing (Scrabble or Phase 10).
Be back later!

Poor Sherlock. I went through the same thing with Joshie. Well, except Joshie hid under the bed. And ran away from me for several days afterwards.

At least he wants to be close to us. He is whimpering a little less now that he has had half of his dinner (only half to make sure he holds it down). He will get some Rimadyl, for pain, with the second half.

Hi all. Hate to post and run but I've been awake since 2 this morning. Just had bad feeling that something was wrong and when I went to work I found out that I am being moved to the HR dept. Not what I wanted to hear right now with maybe having to miss time with the house and all. I am NOT a happy camper. I tried to explain that to the powers that be and they were going to discuss it but I somehow don't think things will turn out the way I want.
They will just have put up with my having to take time off if I need to.
Sorry. End of rant.
Mega pain free vibes for DD Sherlock. Toby and Sheena send their regards. They got a new toy--a bump ball with a squeakier that Toby carries around making noise everywhere he goes.
Had one phone call after the other tonight so I'm up longer than I should be with not having slept so I am signing off now.
Have a good evening all! :)

Congratulations to DR CILLA LIZ on her victory.
Thanks!

Spring sure as hell hasn't sprung here--we're once again under about 8 inches of snow. Incredible.

It usually is here, but this month has been 80s sunshine and leaves and flowers coming up 6 weeks early

Where is everybody? On Facebook, of course. My time with Facebook will be coming to an end as soon as the forced Timeline thing happens. All I'll do then is announce stuff. I hate that design, I can't figure out anything about it, and why they keep doing this crap is beyond comprehension.

G'night!
-
Thank you DR's Danise & Cilla.
-
DR Danise HR is usually a good department to work for. Would you be happy about the move if you weren't going to have work done on your house? Is this a collateral move vs a promotion?
VIBES WHATEVER HAPPENS IS FOR THE BEST!!
-
I too am dreading the forced Timeline though people who have willingly changed to it like it.
-
Sherlock is slowly improving. Maybe we will get some sleep tonight. I won't be taking any Benadryl though, must not be groggy. I'm skipping the pool tomorrow so we can take him out in the afternoon.
-
Bruce I'm curious how you know some of my new facebook friends I made through the West L.A. page.
-
'night
-
I too am dreading the forced Timeline though people who have willingly changed to it like it.
I thought it was already supposed to have been forced? Maybe we can avoid it for longer?
Truthfully i don't spend much time on my actual page or on anybody else's actual page. So maybe i won't notice it as much. I mostly just read my newfeed, which still looks the same.
-
I have the timeline page, but I never look at it. I just have the wall up and read my news feed
-
I thought I had a really big petition to get done tonight. Then I recalculated the deadline and since it's on Saturday I have until Monday to get it done. I am very glad as I need another night's sleep to catch up from the week
-
two 16 hour days ina row and tomorrow looks like it will be another one and still no where near finshed with what needs to be done
-
when i came home I discovered clumps of daffydowndillies all over my front garden where only little green stalks were when I went to work
-
Way too much to do tonight.
-
I assisted in a cooking class. Thai food was on the menu. And very good Thai food, but I didn't get much to eat. Yet that's somehow OK.
-
Then I had to write my Beer of the Week column. Thankfully, it was an old favorite, Belhaven from Scotland, so it wrote itself quickly.
-
And in honor of Sondheim's birthday, I put on "Into the Woods." But I think I'm fading and will only get through Act One tonight.
Some of the these lines still make me laugh hysterically.
-
And that's all I can do for tonight. Night, all.

Well, not all the family came together, but we had fun. We also watched some YouTube clips on my sister's computer that's connected to her 46 inch LCD TV in her living room! ;D
-
This weekend, a local synagogue is having a Blintz-a-palooza event. My sister asked if I wanted to go and I think that I might. She was wondering if lox were going to be served. I mentioned that Alan Menken wrote a song called "Pink Fish," sung by Andy Taylor (husband of BK's close and personal friend, Alet Taylor) and we watched the clip. Everyone loved it! :D
-
We just kept watching more YouTube Clips and eventually my sister remembered the episode of "The Gong Show" where everyone on that particular episode sang "Feelings." It was pretty funny!
-
We also watched the clip from "The Carol Burnett Show" where Eunice goes on "The Gong Show" and sings "Feelings" (we actually watched this before the actual "Gong Show" episode.
