Jose: I don't think I can afford to go out tonight. Rent is due in a couple of days and I just bought soap. Lots and lots of soap.

I wish I could, but I think I'm gonna have to pass tonight.

Several of my actor friends will do the same thing if you're not careful.

What does emu taste like? Chicken?

I can't imagine eating kangaroo. Aren't they on the endangered species list?

I have not eaten Kangaroo or Emu and will not. Tourists are more likely to do so. Check with Jose - he may have had eithert or both plus crocodile.
Most kangaroo species are far far far from being endangered. Koalas are in more trouble but only in some regions - mostly health problems! There are large scale relocation programmes when there is overpopulation in communities. Tasmanian Devils are also having problems at the moment!

SOUTH PACIFIC page four dance.

Not from my production!

Is this the "all-white" production? Bloody Mary looks like Tyne Daly doing Tennessee Williams' "Garden District."

Just did a little research on SHIRLEY TEMPLE'S STORYBOOK. It really existed in two incarnations. The first aired 13 episodes in 57-58 produced by Henry Jaffe Enterprises on NBC (reruns on ABC in 1959). The shows were "Sleeping Beauty," "Dick Whittington and His cat," "The Wild Swans," "The Nightengale," "Rapunzel," "Rip Van Winkle," "The Magic Fishbone," "The Land of Green Ginger," "Hiawatha," "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," "The Little Lame Prince," "The Emperor's New Clothes," and "Mother Goose."

NBC tried with Shirley again in 1960 for 14 episodes of less fairy tale-like material including "Land of Oz," "Little Men," "Madeline," "Prince and the Pauper," "Rebel Gun," "Black Arrow," "House of Seven Gables," "Tom and Huck," "Two for the Road," "Onawandah," "Return of Long John Silver," The Little Mermaid," Pegleg Pirate of Sulu," and "The Princess and the Goblins."

Thanks for that link. At least some are available from that second series of films. I remember the first series much more vividly than these later ones.

No worries. Totally understand.

-Yeah, it was the soap.

I'm not surprised that Bettelheim does not go into "The Ugly Duckling" since his book is primarily geared to fairy tales that were originally folk tales. "The Ugly Duckling" and all other Andersen stories and Oscar Wilde's fairy tales are literature peculiar to their author's psyches, not original folk tales. "The Little Mermaid" is indebted to "Undine" by Friedrich LaMotte-Fouque, source for Giraudoux's play and RUSALKA by Dvorak.

...And I just finished answering and/or returning five phone right in a row. I would hang up one call, and then find a message waiting for me - apparently, I received two calls at the same time, and one of them "won" while the other went to voicemail.

And now, I must pretty myself to head out dinner which will be hosted and provided by DR FJL. -I'm going to help him clear out his cache.

And then I'll be meeting my friend, Paul, who is up here from Florida this week, at 10:00 after his awards banquet is done at the Marriott Marquis.

So...

Laters...

From Charles Pogue:

Quote

Jane, the best experience was filming my Sherlock Holmes script for Hound of the Baskervilles in London. A director who was a collaborator and fan, actors who came up to me and asked if they could change a line, a producer who insisted I be in dailies every day and in the editing room, taking notes and making suggestions (five of the six I made were taken). Great experience in the greatest city in the world. It's still the only one of my films I can watch and just enjoy without squirming and seeing all the things that went wrong.

I wish you a future with another film you can watch without squirming, one filmed in your home town would be nice.

We have a first edition, first printing of THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES.

I'm still catching up on the last few days of posts. With regard to the Lay's dill pickle chips, mine were purchased at a Target in the Bronx. I was quite surprised to see them, and into my cart they went.

I was a co-faciliator for a 4 day (2 weekends back to back) training for new hotline counselors. We taught them a peer counseling model/method and basic HIV info.

I have not eaten Kangaroo,
Nor stork, nor panda, nor emu.
I've heard that they are tough to chew.
I rather have some gnu stew.

DR George.. DP Colin managed the Freecell in six tries! He has done over 5000 of them!
The secret is to get to the red Jack in column three and to avoid the obvious moves at the beginning.

Thanks for the info!! I'll try it as soon as I get home. We don't have FreeCell on any of our computers at work. It's not compatible with the operating system we have (Windows NT).

DR MattH: Yes...for as badly as I was feeling throughout parts of the weekend, it was good for me to go, and I'm so happy that I got to see and appreciate some of our country's history.

Standing in front of the Declaration of Independence, the cornerstone of our liberty and history, and realizing what people had to go through - and are continuing to go through - to get us where we are today helped open my eyes to the bigger picture and made my problems seem not so big. What really turned me around, though, was standing up against the Washington Monument looking up at the clouds, watching the dark rainclouds break away and seeing bright blue sky peeking through. I felt infinite. That's the only word I can use to describe it. Infinite. It made me feel like everything is going to be OK. I don't know when or how, but it will be.

I'm so glad you made the trip.

I'm here safe and sound, thanks to DR Jose's excellent driving skills. I'm afraid I wasn't much of a driving companion - I dozed off around 12:30 this morning - but he was kind enough to drop me off at my subway stop before his trek uptown. I think I got to bed around 3:30 this morning. I was up at 8:00 and, to my shock and frustration, my roommate was in the bathroom taking a shower - for FORTY-FIVE MINUTES! I finally had to knock on the door and tell him I needed to get ready. "Oh, I'm sorry - I'm not used to the new schedule." What? What "new" schedule? I've been on MY schedule since he moved in. I don't know what HIS new schedule is and it doesn't really matter - 45 minutes in the bathroom on any morning is too long. Especially since he has a half bathroom in his bedroom. Rant over.

I took nearly 300 pictures this weekend while I was visiting Our Nation's Capitol. I did the touristy stuff yesterday - the National Archives, four of the Smithsonian museums, the National Gallery and the Washington Monument. It was a busy day! And then I got to sit in the pit with DR Jose and his fellow musicians, which was quite a fun experience. Believe it or not, last night was the first time the whole weekend that I was able to forget the stresses of last week and just have fun.

Many, MANY thanks to DR Jose and his parents for putting me up - and putting up with me - this weekend. FRUIT LOOPS!!

Jason, did you get to meet Matt Bogart?

DR TCB: Yes, I got to see Matt again. He and I actually met two or three years ago in DC when he was doing 110 IN THE SHADE. I don't think he remembered me (why should he?) but he was very, very nice.

Jealous?
