Well, you've read the notes, the notes were yummilicous, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently annoyed that there is no Roscoe's Cows and Waffles.

And the word of the day is: PLOCE!

Just launched this morning: THIS (http://newmusicaltheatre.com/) site, where you can buy sheet music from some of our up-and-coming musical theatre writers.

Last week, bk asked what movies we were looking forward to. I hadn't heard about A Single Man, opening today, but after reading the NY Times review (http://movies.nytimes.com/2009/12/11/movies/11singleman.html?th&emc=th), I'd be interested in seeing this.
-
Looks like both Memphis and the Night Music revival will be getting cast recordings.

Happiest of Birthdays to our Dear Ginny!

Happy Birthday to DR GINNY!!!

Dear TCB, having gone through something similar this year I send you my vibes and good thoughts for a difficult decision
-
I was watching episodes of Bat Masterson last night. DR MBARNUM sent them to me and they arrived yesterday. I watched four of them.....three featured Miss Allison Hayes as romantic interest Ellie Winters....and two of them featured Miss Leslie Parrish. In one she was a bad girl and in the other a not so bad girl.
-
Decision making vibes to DR TCB.
-
It's another day of volunteering so no music or DVDs for the time being, though I did just watch Arthur at 7am this morning on Channel 13
-
It was a cool [for our area] dog walk this morning. With the wind chill, it feels like 7 degrees.
-
A very happy Channukah starting tonight to all who celebrate!
-
Here is a picture of our tree this year along with a shot of our visitors from Northern Ireland. They came to the apartment yesterday after a day of sightseeing. We had tea and a wonderful chat. It was a great way to unwind after a long day of bag packing.
-
And here is another shot. This is inside the Lounge at Actors' Equity. Our friends came uptstairs to see us before they began their day of sightseeing.
-
Oh, I love your fireplace! I used to have one just like it. One day a year.
-
Good morning.
-
Happy Happy Birthday, DR Ginny!

Happy Birthday to Ginny!

Thanks for the photos, DR Ben! Looks festive, indeed.

Good morning, all! I realized I have an opera performance tonight, Faure's PENELOPE at Manhattan School of Music, so tonight I'm stepping out, whether I want to or not. Actually, I prefer not since I am also out tomorrow night for Kevin Spirtas' play and Brent's show on Sunday. However, when one of your best friends is director of the Opera Dept and you fear for your life, you go. And I am a bit curious about it; it's another version of Ulysses' return to Ithaca after the Trojan War and killing off Penelope's suitors.
As for today, I have to finish Moross' SHARKFIGHTERS score and get it into the post to the copyist and, at some point - I think 12:30 - I have physical therapy. I need to call there and verify the time. I also have some final Christmas gift things I need to accomplish once I balance my checkbook.
TOD:
DVD: two Netflix disks are sitting here; I think one's a Gerald Butler comedy but i can't remember the title
CD: Musick for the Royal Fireworks, Guy Haines, Liz Callaway, Christmas Mornings, Ceremony of Carols
VCR: Extreme Narcissists in Compromising Positions

DR singdaw, I remember reading A SINGLE MAN in college, and it's a really beautiful novel, perhaps my favorite Isherwood book. I am curious to see how the film adaptation works.
DR Ben, I think you should give your apartment the name of Toyland! It looks wonderful.
-
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE ONE AND ONLY GINNY!!

My nose was nipped. I suspect Jack Frost.

A nippy page 2 jig.

Happy happy birthday to dear Ginny!

Thanks for that sheet music link, DAW

And DR ELMORE is quite the social butterfly this weekend to be sure.

Good morning!
It was bitterly cold this morning (lucky that Fridays are my rest day from walking and exercising), but I'll be going out into the cold later today. Should warm up into the 40s by afternoon, but it was 22 this morning.
-
Happy Birthday to DR Ginny!!!

Today I will come to the end of the marathon Mel Brooks movie mash I've been experiencing these last four days. Seeing all of these films back-to-back make it so clear how much he enjoyed working with the same people over and over. Once you break into his circle of comic cronies, he uses you somewhere in everything.
-
Friday Media Check:
CD - Brent Barrett: CHRISTMAS MORNINGS
Kenny G: MEMORIES
DVD - TO BE OR NOT TO BE remake (Blu-ray)
ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS (Blu-ray)
PERRY MASON, Season 1, disc 4
A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS (Blu-ray)
DVR - last night's THE MENTALIST
last night's THE OFFICE/30 ROCK
last night's SUPERNATURAL rerun
-
There is a new UGLY BETTY and a new LAW & ORDER tonight.
Two new episodes of DOLLHOUSE run back-to-back as Fox burns off the remaining episodes.
CBS has a new animated special at 8 (YES, VIRGINIA), but the rest of their Friday schedule is comprised of reruns. MEDIUM's is the season premiere episode.
-
Hopefully today will see the delivery of some of the Amazon packages I'm expecting. I know the mail service is slammed at this time of year, but the buyer wants what he wants!

Now I'm off to finish that extra Polish headdress and fix a donkey and reindeer head ...

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And it's nice and warm in my apartment.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR GINNY!!!!!
-
Happy B-day to Ginny!
BK, I can't believe that you and I never did the Roscoe's Chicken and Waffle experience together, given all our other dining experiences from Musso and Frank, The Smokehouse, Bird's, Langer's, The House of Pies, Schwab's...How did we miss this one? Despite it's proximity to where I lived, I only actually went a few times, but every time I went, it was dee-licious!
-
So...
I've been reading up on the causes and symptoms of kidney stones and kidney infections, and it was quite interesting to read that depending on the type of infection you have, the dietary guidelines are basically at polar opposites.
Anyhoo...
-
Ohhh... Roscoe's Chicken And Waffles (http://www.roscoeschickenandwaffles.com/)!!! I never made it to the one on Gower when I was out there, but I did make it to the one on Pico. YUMMERS!!!
*Gladys Knight - yes, that Gladys Knight - makes some great Chicken and Waffles too, and if you're ever in the Land of DR edisaurus - a.k.a. Atlanta, GA - you can stop by Gladys Knight & Ron Winans' Chicken & Waffles (http://gladysandron.net/index.html) for some good eatin'!
-
Just launched this morning: THIS (http://newmusicaltheatre.com/) site, where you can buy sheet music from some of our up-and-coming musical theatre writers.
Yeah!... Well...
Sadly(?), most of the songs on that site are already on the "I'm sick of hearing those songs massacred at auditions" List.
:-\
*But isn't Andrew Keenan-Bolger just cute as a button? ::)
-
Suddenly feeling not so hot. So I am not working today.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
I had actually set aside some CDs to listen to this week, but they never made it into my CD player.

It's also been quite interesting watching some of the recent interviews with Tom Ford. You can - well, I can really tell that the whole directing experience has changed him. He's so calm now, and not so in-your-face. However, he's still very handsome (and smolderingly hot). ;)
-
JRand, get well soon!

Well...
Here's a new way to slice it... A Bagel (http://bit.ly/7QM03n), that is.

OOPS!!

Hmm... "Oops and Done" - Isn't that the name of a country music duo?

Oops, she done it again??

Frankly, that's between the chicken and the waffle.

I'm up, I'm up and trying to get the house warm. It's stopped raining but looks very gray out, so I'm glad we pushed our meeting until Monday or, conversely, pushed Monday until our meeting.
-
It's very cold in this house - sixty-four.
-
Hopefully Ginny read the notes :)
Yes, BK, and thank you for the birthday notice! Sorry, I hadn't had enough coffee when I made my original list - corrected now.

I made my yearly trip to the mall. That is all.

Thank you, DR Jane!!!
I actually had a Ginny doll like that when I was little.
i figured as much :)

Just did a computer update - something to do with improved Java. I restarted, as requested, opened a few programs and tried to print an e-mail - printer wouldn't open, wasn't being recognized, spinning wheel when I tried to open iTunes - called Apple, they told me to restart again, and then everything was fine. Something to do with the update not installing fully until the second restart. Unbelievable, but I'm not the only one who's had the problem.
-
Thanks for the new sheet music site, DR DAW!!

i just received the following email from DS Craig:
Hello,
I'm sorry for this odd request because it might get to you too
urgent but it's because of the situation of things right now, I'm
stuck in London with family right now, i came down here on vacation ,
i was robbed, worse of it is that bags, cash and cards and my cell
phone was stolen at GUN POINT, it's such a crazy experience for me, i
need help flying back home, the authorities are not being 100%
supportive but the good thing is i still have my passport but don't
have enough money to get my flight ticket back home and l need to
clear the hotel bills here , please i need you to loan me some money,
will refund you as soon as I'm back home, i promise.Get back to me
ASAP let me know what to do next.
Craig
of course he is not in london, he is home job hunting and if that had happened he would have called home collect. while i was talking to craig, keith's cousin called to let us know she also received an email. she said a friend's account was also hacked and sadly the friend's elderly grandmother sent money.
the gmail account hacked was the one craig uses for job applications so very few personal family or friends have it.

We have a new guilty tv pleasure which has partially supplanted HOARDERS. WORLD'S STRICTEST PARENTS is especially fun for me because it features so many Mormon parents laying down the "be reverent" law. ;) I told Betsy I won't be satisfied until there's a WORLD'S STRICTEST HOARDERS.

Looks like both Memphis and the Night Music revival will be getting cast recordings.
I'd read (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/135208-Broadways-Memphis-Lives-on-CD-Beginning-Dec.-11) that the cast recording for Memphis can already be ordered from their website (http://www.memphisthemusical.com/), but I didn't know about ALNM. :D

The scams never cease. I got an e-mail from "Sprint" the other day insisting that my account was out of order and that unless I contacted them at a certain e-mail address, my service would be immediately disconnected. It went right into the spam folder.
-
I watched THE MENTALIST while I ate lunch today. A very enjoyable episode. I love when Patrick puts snobbish, entitled people in their places. Not a difficult mystery to solve, but it was entertaining watching the rich get manipulated.
-
Then I watched TO BE OR NOT TO BE. It's an OK remake. Blu-ray really makes all the soft focus shots of Anne Bancroft seem obvious and disconcerting, but the rest of it looked just fine in HD. The DTS-HD MA 5.1 track was a nice step up from Dolby Surround, too. That's also on the disc, and I listened to a sequence or two using it, and it's so PUNY compared to the DTS-HD track.
The film has always seemed to me to be longer than it actually is. The pacing is fairly leaden which I felt when I first saw it and definitely still feel that way.
-
I watched all the bonus features. There was one new to Blu-ray featurette, but the others were EPK vignettes done at the time of filming. There's another trivia track, the isolated score track, and trailers.
-
So, that leaves me with ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS tonight. (My memories of this are not too positive. Maybe a revisit will find me more receptive.)
SPACEBALLS is the same disc as the one I reviewed a few months ago, so I won't have to rewatch that.
-
I had time to skim through today's OLTL and ATWT. Nothing of interest on either, though I did watch the Lily-Damien-Meg scenes on ATWT just to see Meg lose it.
-
No much activity on the internet during my afternoon surf, so I'll hop off-line now and do some writing. Then, it's back downstairs to Mel Brooks' second attempt at spoofing the Robin Hood legend.

I want to say a big thank you for all of the additional, wonderful birthday wishes that I missed after I last logged on yesterday morning....what a wonderful bunch of people you all are!!! Thanks, thanks, thanks!

I had a swell birthday yesterday. First went to our office Christmas lunch/gift exchange which was lots of fun...then drove up to Portland to pick up my friend Mark and we toodled around Portland for a few hours then had our Scandinavian dinner which was delish! I forgot my camera, so no pictures, but I had Swedish Meatballs with lingonberry sauce and gravletx (sp) which was chunks of salmon, grapefruit, and avacodo. Yummy!
Mark also had the meatballs, but had pickled vegies as well.
After dinner we called up our friend Terry, who was unaware that Mark was even in town, and we met him at Scandals, which is a "special interest" bar/lounge. I had a scotch on the rocks and a cup of coffee, Mark had a Bloody Mary, and Terry had one of everything, and was still their when we left.
I got home around midnight, slept in and have been running errands all morning.

When I arrvied home the UPS man brought me a very large frozen container of meat from OMAHA STEAKS, courtesy of the lovely Laurie Mitchell! She is just so good to me!

Now I shall retire in front of the TV and eat some items from a bake sale that I came across today, and watch some some CASTLE and SURVIVOR and MODERN FAMILY, and maybe a Bollywood movie that just arrived from Netflix.
-
Barnum, maybe you missed the part about my urgent question - drop me a line asap.

I thought it was a serious question?

Hey! I just got smurffed again.
You're getting quite the reputation!

Very good PT news from DR Jane! :D

Today was one of those seasonal days where I went out Christmas shopping for hours and hours but wound up bringing home next to nothing. It was pretty much my own fault--I was ill-prepared with not much of a list, I was indicisive about a number of items and just plain crabby because I was wearing my heavy winter jacket on top of a flannel shirt and felt hot in every store. Ah, well...there's still 13 days left--plenty of time to do my Christmas shopping.
-
I did e-mail him, Jose. No response. No answer. Therefore a beloved title that I'm sure he'd love to come to CD may not happen, as I have to give an answer by the end of today.

I have to go to the opry and I'd rather stay in with a gin and tonic and MEDIUM. Ah, well . . .
I'm going to a private Christian school to see a Christmas pageant.

DH Richard and I returned from my birthday outing to Kenwood Towne Center to find a lighted Christmas tree in our family room picture window - thanks to Rob and Mary Linda, who arrived from Michigan this afternoon to join in the graduation festivities tomorrow. They're out now picking up my birthday pizza from Shaddock's and we're going to watch White Christmas while we eat.
-
so far my therapy is progressing. the therapist was able to increase my range of motion from my last appointment
Very good new, Jane! Congrats!
-
I did get my "Yes, Virginia" Macy's gift card today, but nothing extra for it also being my birthday. Went directly to the Bobbi Brown cosmetic counter to spend it and the clerk was thrilled that I was her "first Virginia" of the day. When I told her it was my birthday, she gave me some samples packets of their face cream that I like so much.
We then explored the new Nordstrom and Vera Bradley stores, with, of course, a stop in the Apple store. Didn't buy anything at any of those places, but had fun looking.

Good PT progress, DR Jane - keep it up!

Pizza and White Christmas - sounds like an unbeatable combination! :)

As for myself - well, I'm eating a dark chocolate-coated graham cracker from Williams Sonoma.

Very good PT news from DR Jane! :D
thanks. if only it didn't hurt so much now.
-
thank you george and ginny.

I had a sandwich and fries at noon. I'll definitely need something sweet later. It's been raining, ranging from light drizzle to pretty heavy. But we really needed it.
-
Listening to our next release (the first of the two CDs we'll announce in about a week and a half) - so much fun. It's a BIG film, if you get my meaning.
-
Obviously no one got their Elmer Bernstein CD today. I suspect that our beloved USPS just let them sit on the loading dock until late last night.
-
After I finish "A Christmas Carol and A Child Is Born," I'm going to listen to The Manhattan Transfer's The Christmas Album (http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Album-Manhattan-Transfer/dp/B000B7HZW8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1260575754&sr=8-1) from 1992. Then, I'm going to listen to their CD, An Acapella Christmas (http://www.amazon.com/Acapella-Christmas-Manhattan-Transfer/dp/B000I0QJH0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1260577446&sr=8-2) (I have the original Japanese release). And then I'll follow that with a home-made CD of the audio track to their live Christmas concert DVD (http://www.amazon.com/Manhattan-Transfer-Christmas/dp/B000GI3KIU/ref=pd_sim_d_2). :D
-
As for myself - well, I'm eating a dark chocolate-coated graham cracker from Williams Sonoma.
A couple of days ago, I got some dark chocolate Reece's peanut butter cups and they were wonderful! Not quite Williams-Sonoma, but still very good. :)

Dark chocolate anything is good. :)

I wish I could figure out what I did with my copy of this CD. I have been looking everywhere for it.

TCB, if you have Barnum's phone number can you call him and tell him to respond here or to my e-mail?

He has an unlisted phone number. Well, at least it is unlisted for me.

i left a message on his cell (don't have a land line) to call you. i only have your home number. when my cell broke while i was in the hospital i lost all the numbers that were on it.

Greetings. Back from another day of packing. We had a short day. We were actually done by 1:30 and we were home by 2:00. I then did the laundry while Anthony did some errands.
His father's shoehorn broke and it seems that the only two people in the world who use a shoehorn are Anthony's father and me. He has been looking for a shoehorn to get his father for Christmas. We went to shoe stores, men's clothing stores and other places but couldn't find anything (Anthony wants the long kind, not the short). Well, we finally found this place:
Manhattan Wardrobe Supply (http://www.wardrobesupplies.com/store/m2_shoehorn.html)
on 29th Street. They have just what Anthony was looking for so he bought two. Now his father can have one shoehorn in the bedroom and another in the television room (where he often leaves his shoes when he puts his feet up on the couch). Mission accomplished. He then went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and bought one of those electronic counting jars. It has a lid with an electronic sensor which counts the change when you drop it in:
Coin Counter (http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=120774)
We got home around the same time, had some dinner and watched some Family Feud. I then laid down for a nap at 6pm and got up at 7pm. I didn't want to go to bed then because I would probably then be up at 4:30 and I don't want to get up at 4:30 on Saturday morning. Anthony laid down at 6:30 and is still sleeping. It's 8:15 now and I will probably go to bed soon since it's been a long (but productive and fulfilling week).
No pictures to post but maybe I'll have more next week.
We continue working on Monday. We have a holiday party tomorrow afternoon and one on Sunday as well so it will be a festive weekend for us.
-
Well, it's been a long, blustery day, but, I wanted to stop by to say:
HAPPY NATAL DAY DR GINNY!
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR GINNY!
-
Anthony wants the long kind, not the short
Don't we all! ;)
My DH and I are also big proponents of shoe horns. We found an online supplier of long plastic ones, and we have them strategically placed all around the house.
-
I spent much of the day at the dentist. Apparently, her evaluation last week was a bit too conservative; today she added replacing an old crown to our list. I believe it was on the expensive dentist's list, too. But my bill should still be considerably less than the original quote.
-
FEEL-BETTER-SOON VIBES TO DR JRAND!
CONTINUED-PROGRESS VIBES TO DR JANE!
GET-WELL/STAY-WELL VIBES TO US ALL!
-
Good wishes of dental fixing, house-sitting peace and quiet, and last but not least: warmth to our DR Jeanne! :)
-
Oh, and after the dentist I finished up my Christmas shopping. There wasn't much left, but I was glad to finish. I already dropped off one of the presents.
-
OK, what is it about CHICKEN and WAFFLES? Why that combination? I am at a loss (in HHW lingo, it is a puzzlement).

I don't get it either but then I still use a shoehorn and I watch Arthur.

Thank you, David. I'm in front of the space heater, which does an excellent job in my tiny little room, and the novacaine has worn off.

We took a break from White Christmas to watch Jeopardy! and the new Yes, Virginia special. It was very sweet and now we're on the train to Vermont with Bing & Danny & Rosie & Vera.
-
Thank you for the birthday wishes, DRs td and Jeanne!

There's a sort of logic to your statement, Ben--HHW logic.

Finished writing the new liner notes - they're short and sweet, but I think they came out well. While the film may be obscure (and short and sweet) the composer is major.
-
thank you jeanne and dental vibes to you.
-
ben, keith decided to use his shoehorns on the trip to chicago-BIG MISTAKE. the shape looked suspicious in the x-ray machine and no one knew what thy were. of course his luggage was hand checked. not to deal with the problem on the way home he left the shoehorns in the hotel. such a shame. he would have checked the suitcase if it didn't cost so much.

facebook wants me to fill out their new privacy act info. unless i do so i can't read my fb pages and i'm too groggy to do it. in recent days it allowed me to click on "not now" or later, something like that.

In this online driving course that I'm taking, it walks you through, in detail, the physics of what happens to your car and the objects and people inside it during a high-speed collision, tenth of a second by tenth of a second.
Very sobering and totally scary!!

Hopefully, the chicken isn't still alive when it is brought to the table. :)

I also thought the idea of chicken and waffles sounded odd.

Happy Chanukah to those who celebrate!
My niece decided last night that she wanted to have a Chanukah
today. She got decorations and a tablecloth and special plates at the
dollar store. She was very happy!

BK, I didn't get you e-mail before I had logged off, but I have now gotten it...however, your e-mail did not have a question....it only stated that you had a question for me! If you have an urgent question for me, by all means, ask away.
DR Jane and Jose, got your messages...sorry I missed your cell phone calls...I had passed out for a 2 hour nap.
-
And she screamed when she got the Barbie Three Muskateers dvd.
And she would not come out of her room after my mom gave her
a Polly Pockets set with animals.

while keith plays his computer game i'm going to watch bones. i hope i don't fall asleep.

Just listened to Show Girl.
Night.
Busy day at work, need to get warm and zone out watching something on dvd.

Well, I got the last of the Mel Brooks movies watched: ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS. It has a simply wonderful cast but all doing such tired, rehashed material (Mel even resorts to repeating his "It's good to be the king" joke here) that it's just not much fun. Of course, Cary Elwes is ALWAYS a pleasure to watch, and Roger Rees plays silly-evil wonderfully well. Not quite sure what Richard Lewis is doing in the movie, and the great Tracey Ullman is completely wasted. Dom DeLuise channeling Brando's Godfather is hilarious, even if the character makes no sense in a Robin Hood movie.
-
Not a great number of special features either, but I watched them all and listened to most of Brooks' commentary (carried over from the laserdisc). Nice transfer.
-
I did have time to watch one program for fun, last night's 30 ROCK which featured Cheyenne Jackson doing some beautiful singing and some lousy singing (on purpose). Pretty fun. The scenes he wasn't a part of weren't all that interesting (though it was nice seeing Julianne Moore doing a Boston accent and playing comfortably with Alec Baldwin.)
-

I did get some of my packages in today's mail (expecting plenty more tomorrow), and I got one review disc, too: the Criterion Blu-ray release of 8 1/2. It doesn't come out until January 12th, so I think I can safely take a day off tomorrow.
-
Back from PENELOPE. I don't think Faure was a very good opera composer and, while I believe some pieces that fall from favor need to be re-examined, I don't think this is one of them. I spent most of the time admiring the orchestration but i really disliked the scenery, costumes and direction. Makes me want to reread the Odyssey, though, and see the old Kirk Douglas film ULYSSES, which I loved as a kid. Kirk Douglas, because of this film and 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, was my idea at the age of 10 of what a movie hero should be.
So, time for some gin and tonic. Mikey, call BK, you oaf!

'night

Finishing up some computer stuff and then I'll be heading downstairs to bed.
Good night!

Tonight I went to a Christmas pageant. It was a very cheesy musical done by very enthusiastic children. The kids I went to see were thrilled we came. Well, thrilled my son came.

Barnum and I haz spoken via e-mail, question has been answered, and we'll see what comes of it.

I am ticked off at the local cable company. I'm trying to get cable in my new office because they are far cheaper than dish or directtv for the basic waiting room channels. They keep saying someone will get back to me and no one has. Today I found out the last time they installed cable in our building the installers broke a water pipe and caused a lot of damage. So, I'm afraid that they don't want to come because of the building I'm in. I'm going to go down there and find out what's going on. I'll do Dish if I have to, I have been told I can put it ont the roof of the building, but it's more expensive....oh bother
-
I should say I've contacted them three times and talked to a human each time who told me someone would be getting back to me right away. The last time I called was almost 2 weeks ago!
-
Elmore, the Douglas ULYSSES is out on a pretty decent looking DVD. I can't remember if I reviewed it for HTF or DVDTalk, but I remember reviewing it. ;)
-
Dear Ginny, I hope you've had the happiest of Birthdays!
May you enjoy many, many more!
-
Yes that was Jeff Harnar.
And yes it was a wonderful evening of cabaret.
Jeff performed his Sammy Cahn show.
He is one of my favorite singers. He loves what he does and it shows. I can watch him again and again.
Afterward Alex Ryback got together.
We caught up on what was happening in our lives and talk about other people we knew from Roberta Peters to Davis Gaines. A most enjoyable night.
-
Indeed I have been in touch with BK.

It's nearly December 12th on the Left Coast~
