Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a fine how do you do, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently having a fine how do you MOO.

Welcome nine GUESTS.

BK, sorry to hear about the musical, but I'm glad that you feel some relief from the squabbles and headaches and offstage drama that had been occurring.

TOD: The '80s produced some great films, including a few that I return to time and again. "Blade Runner" remains one of the best sci-fi movies I've ever seen (though I didn't like the director's cut that felt obliged to overexplain things to its audience). I loved "A Christmas Story," "Sixteen Candles," "Spinal Tap" and a slew of Woody Allen films, including "Hannah and Her Sisters," "Radio Days" and "Crimes and Misdemeanors."
Among my favorite foreign films of that era were Bergman's "Fanny and Alexander" and the two-parter, "Jean de Florette" and "Manon of the Springs."
I was not a Tom Cruise fan then. Couldn't get through "Top Gun" on cable, still can't stand movies like that or "Cocktail."

Morning all.
Back to work after the long weekend.
When can I retire???

Happy Freedom Day to everyone!
BK has something to celebrate this year!

There's a whole lotta 80's movies I could list as favorites! Woody Allen's output alone would make quite a list of films I like:
STARDUST MEMORIES
A MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT SEX COMEDY
ZELIG
BROADWAY DANNY ROSE
THE PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO
HANNAH AND HER SISTERS
RADIO DAYS
NEW YORK STORIES
CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS
And also his odd but still intriguing dramas
SEPTEMBER
ANOTHER WOMAN
The common denominator in this list? Mia Farrow. She was either a dynamic muse of his work or she just happened to hook up with him at an incredibly creative time in his life. We'll probably never learn the truth about that from either of them...

What can I tell you?
A lot of films that many people adore (e.g. OUT OF AFRICA), I find to be boring.
On the other hand, a lot of people think that I have absolutely no taste because I happened to enjoy a movie like NINE.
I guess that's what makes the world interesting.
BTW: I also like RADIO DAYS and two other 1980s movies that I really love are THE PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO and WITHOUT A CLUE.
-
I suppose I'm up - will probably go back to bed but was having the oddest dream - what I can remember is that I'd met someone and we'd become slightly randy, and then I was outside the home of where a party was being given and the randy person went off to the bathroom or something. Meanwhile, I found myself sitting in a white Porsche next to Ed Asner - he was the driver. We were there very early - eleven o'clock in the morning, and I was surprised we had to sit there until the party started at one. I told Ed there was a great parking place just ahead. He just sat there and then someone else took the spot and he said "Oh, well" and turned around and we got another spot - but then the person in the original spot left and we took that. Then we sat there, and then I was talking to Raquel Welch and we were both telling Teddy stories and that was funny. Then I was talking to Bea Arthur and Doris Roberts and I kept asking what year it was and saying how good we'd all look later. That's about all I remember.
I think I ate a little too much garlic last night, too - not having heartburn, but I feel "topped off" - just ate too much food.
-
Good morning, all! I slept late. Again. I think my body must have needed some time off, and I've been feeling puny most of the weekend. Although I did accomplish a great deal of work, I've been having horrible stomach pains and I need to call my doctor for an appointment.
Today I will answer a few OZ questions, deal with more of THE ROSE OF ALGERIA, and not move too far from the apartment. I received an email from our McGlinnventory paralegal that our DAT player is still in drydock and the rep from Academy Records has not responded to inquiries on when he plans to pick up the ton of LP's he purchased a week ago, so there may be no McGlinn work this week. as soon as the records go, we'll have room to begin the second round of sorting published and manuscript music for the Library of Congress and vendors.
TOD: I always loved one of Richard Lester's last films, FINDERS KEEPERS, with Michael O'Keefe, Beverly D'Angelo, and David Wayne (wish that were on DVD) and MAID TO ORDER, with Ally Sheedy and Beverly D'Angelo, who can do no wrong in my book.
-
DR Jane did you know that one of our favorite shows is starting season 2 this week? ROYAL PAINS season 2 starts in the US this thursday.
I"m not sure when it will be airing here. I've heard reports that it could start maybe this friday,although it's not in my listings. Hopefully soon. I relaly love this show!

Body Heat
My Favourite Year
Bull Durham

Crimes of Passion
The Fly
The Dead
The Dresser

DR CP I saw the DRAGONHEART dvd on sale for $5 at WalMart.

MR BK - the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream indicates that at this time you value career over personal life although you feel career could be moving a bit faster. You are comfortable where you are, but moving ahead would also be great.
Your values of beauty are varied but a knockout female will always grab your attention. You don't always get what you want in a timely manner, but you are patient and will accept it when it finally comes along.

-
I hate having those Ed Asner dreams...
-
I rarely dream about celebrities, but one odd dream I recall featured Daryl Hannah and JFK, Jr. Strangely enough, Daryl Hannah was the more interesting of the two...
-
I did enjoy the AIRPLANE films and some made-for-TV movies from the 80s, but otherwise I have no favorite theatrical movies from that decade, and I did see quite a few.
-
Daryl Hannah reminds me of another favorite 80's movie--SPLASH.

Thanks. I'll make sure it is set to record. I have concerns it will not hold up well this season. Of course I hope I'm very wrong.

DR Edi, thank goodness you missed the rake. In the future, don't forget to place it face down.

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!
I'm up, I'm up... And I woke up with something not-so-right with my neck. I think I need to hang upside-down someplace for a bit. In the meantime, I've been reclining. It/I feel/s better now, and I'm going to (try to) get ready for an appointment I have this afternoon.
-
So...
Laters...

Keith appreciates all the cleaning I did yesterday. If I had been wise I would have done it on Sunday as not to be slightly sore today as we celebrate our 41st anniversary. :) At least the shoulder is ok after a nights rest.

Feel well vibes for DR elmore, Jose & all who need them!!!

! ! ! ! ! HAPPY 41st ANNIVERSARY TO DR JANE & KEITH ! ! ! ! !

By the way, I'm really liking the newly launched Cooking Channel (http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/).
-
I wish one of those cooking channels would show reruns of Lila Kaye's short-lived sitcom, MAMA MALONE. Not that I thought the show was any good (it wasn't) but it had a real catchy theme song...
-
Thanks for the dream interp, Jrand - all sounds plausible to me.
-
41st anniversary??? Wow (wow, spelled backwards). That means had I stayed married this year would have been our 42nd anniversary.
-
I went back to bed and sort of got another two hours of sleep - the phone rang several times - nothing worth picking up - calls I can return when I'm on the road.

TOD: Favorite films of the 80s
Out of Africa
Hannah and Her Sisters
E.T., The Extraterrestrial
A Room With A View
The Accidental Tourist
The Witches of Eastwick
Poltergeist
A Passage to India
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
The Empire Strikes Back
The Elephant Man
The Color Purple
I'm sure there are others, but those above are the ones that I remember most fondly and vividly.

We were engaged first. ;) Had you waited 2 years for the actual wedding, yours might not have happened. But then you wouldn't have your wonderful Jennifer.

Exactly - as you'll read in the new book. I know PennyO was supposed to buy you a copy, but she was her usual busy self and didn't get over here. So, maybe I'll just send it to you in advance.

BK, the Big Package has been delivered! Hoo boy, Thanks! Listening to the CD extra that came with the book. Gold Star will wend its way out there soon.

We are hoping to see Penny tomorrow as she passes through our way.
-
She was at the signing, but didn't have enough dough with her. I would have given her one there, but I didn't have any copies with me - and I couldn't ask the store to give her one.
-
That explains it, too bad.
-
I'll just send you one on Thursday - no worries.

As for the Topic of the Day...
The one movie that comes right to mind is:
"On Golden Pond" - I actually saw it three times in the movie theater.
And upon further reflection:
"Poltergeist"
"The Breakfast Club"
"Cinema Paradiso"
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" - And I LOVED playing that main theme in marching band too!
...Plus a plethora of other movies I know I'm forgetting and/or have already been mentioned.

Back from the tape transfer place - and the good news is that it appears that I will indeed be able to do what I want with a cast album reissue - we haven't actually done the work yet, but it seems like it should work fine. And so, for your ears only, we will be doing a two CD set of the Original Cast Recording of Promises, Promises. CD 1 will be the original album mix, which, shockingly, has never been on CD before - yes, there have been two issues of this on CD (Ryko and Varese) but that was a remix that was simply not mentioned anywhere on the packaging. I never thought that CD sounded right and now I know why. So, for the first time on CD, the original album mix. CD2 will be a new mix with - and this is the fun part - all of Jerry Orbach's (and Ed Winter's and A. Larry Haines') pitch problems fixed - if not perfectly, much better than they've ever been. I am so thrilled to be able to do this, because I have to imagine that Mr. Orbach was probably not happy with the pitch problems - but they only had a day to record and that was that - the old days. So, we'll see how it goes, but this is potentially very exciting. Varese, in fact, after promising me they would never do anything B'way related after I left, broke their promise because of greed. They tried to renew their license, which was up at the end of April. But I'd already done the deal and they were told "too bad, Kritzerland has it."

Happy Anniversary AND Happy Freedom Day to Jane and Keith!

Great news on "Promises, Promises." I look forward to getting a copy. It feels like turkey lurkey time has come early this year.
-
I'll just send you one on Thursday - no worries.
:D :D
-
Thank you, DR Druxy, for reminding me of "The Stunt Man," which I thought was the 1970s and is one of the best movies I've ever seen, and "A Room With a View," which may not be your cup of tea, but it certainly is mine. I saw it three or four times in the theater and countless times on video/DVD.
I forgot a couple of other all-time favorites: the original "Hairspray," which I may have seen more than 50 times, and "Shoot the Moon" with Diane Keaton, Albert Finney and Dana Hill giving searing performances.
-
Happy Anniversary to Jane and Keith!!!

Thank you DR Jose, he is definitely my ever-lovin'.

I thought it was fun and funny. I do think 2 hrs 20 is a tiny bit too long. But the ending was so interesting and there weren't really any parts that i would have wanted to cut.
I think anybody who is a true fan of the show and first movie should definitely see this one.

DR Jane i think a few people did not pick up their copies of the GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST. So i may have moved up a few places. I will see tomorrow when i get my printout.

I'm anxious but i'm good. I have 3 other books to read from the library that i've wanted to read. Plus they have a bunch of movies that have just come in.
Last night I watched AN EDUCATION. Tomorrow i have LOVELY BONES. And then i have to pick up AVATAR and THE YOUNG VICTORIA.

I'm surprised by how many of you are listing "Crimes and Misdemeanors" as one of your favorite films. I thought I was the only one who liked Woody's serious movies, as well as his comedies. The 2005 film, "Match Point" seemed to be a remake of the '80s film, but I actually liked "Match Point" better.
Dan, aren't several of the movies on your "least favorite" major academy awards winners??

I remember Crimes much better & think it is a better film than Match. While I agree Crimes is a great movie, I didn't enjoy it. I suppose it really isn't meant to be enjoyed.

What a lovely Freedom Day we had! Here are the things we did not do: we did not go to the new Sea Life aquarium at the mall; we did not see a rattlesnake; we did not ride on the $1.1 billion Sky Train, although we saw where it is being built. We did go for a nice drive and ate too much at an Indian casino buffet, where DR Sandra created a new favorite food: messy tacos. She also enjoyed some chocolate peanut butter cup pie. Hurray for freedom!

ANNIVERSARY WISHES
TO DR JANE AND DH KEITH
I believe the gift for 41 years is land...............or separate vacations!

I feel like I'm galloping frpom disaster to disaster these days. Much as I like what I do, why is it I lose important pieces of paper, like my vocal score for OH BOY! with all of the edits I made? I've taken apart my work area and I cannot find it. I'm halfway through the Act One Finale of THE ROSE OF ALGERIA, I've sent in the invoices for the Herbert song copyists, I've sent pdfs of all the new songs to the singers, and I've had a loverly phone conversation with BK. I need a nap.

No it was the pasta that had just started boiling when the power failure happened. Since I expected the lights to come back on rather quickly the pasta sat in the water for a long time. I would have used different pasta, but I had used the last box I had. The pasta tasted rather doughy.

Awww.

I saw the SEX & THE CITY 2 movie and I think that those reviewers were out of their mind.
Anyone who loved the series and loved the first movie will love this movie. Those grumpy old men who reviewed SATC2 really did their readers a disservice. I think part of the 2nd movie is knowing the characters though. What they do will not make sense if you do not know about Carrie and Mr. Big. Or about how he walked out on her or what happened in the first movie. It is basically a continuation of everything that has happened till now.
I thought it was fun and funny. I do think 2 hrs 20 is a tiny bit too long. But the ending was so interesting and there weren't really any parts that i would have wanted to cut.
I think anybody who is a true fan of the show and first movie should definitely see this one.
The female reviewer for ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, who loved SATC gave this film a C- . No grumpy old men there.
I don't know how she felt about the first film. But from reading the review for SATC2, it seems like she is not a fan of the show.

Good evening all.
I apologize for my errant truant ways. I had made such a firm resolution to come back to the fold, and then life got crazy busy again. I hope this finds you all well and happy.
Jane - CONGRATULATIONS on 41 years!! Jed and I only have 38 more years to go to catch up :)

This weekend Jed and I did what we call a Theatrical Double Header. We saw Harvey Fierstein as Tevye in Fiddler at the Paramount for the matinee, and then we saw an exquisite production of Candide at the 5th Avenue. Candide was perfectly cast, perfectly staged, and beautifully played by the orchestra. It was long, I admit, but Jed and I were still annoyed by the jeans wearing couple in front of us grumbling during intermission "13 more songs in the damn second half?? How long to we have to sit here, anyway??" "I can't tell where one song ends and the next begins, it could be 30 songs for all we know." "What the hell are they talking about anyway?" "No idea, dear." "I should have had a damn beer before this started."
And on in that vein.... *sigh*

Yeah, but did you finish a certain book? :)

My wife is reading that certain book now.
-
Getting there! I am trying to pace my reading so i don't gobble it up too quickly. Besides that, every time I read a few chapters before bed, my dreams become weird. The other night I dreamt that I was trying to set Meryl Streep up with Alan Alda.
-
Sorry to have been E & T - I actually logged in here on Sunday and Monday evenings but both days I dozed off while trying to ketchup
-
Not that you guys are boring but I did so much yard work that I was exhausted
the Vixter & I bought a King Crimson maple tree and carted it home and then dug up a corner of the lawn and dug a Huge hole and planted it
-
It may not seem like much but it's about 12 -14 feet high
-
we also planted 48 impatiens around the base but Iforgot to take picture
-
we also bought and planted some foxgloves
-
more foxgloves
-
Very ambitious, DR Vixmom!
-
Two long grantwriter meetings and allergies have me whipped - 'night!
-

-
Beautiful, Vixmom.

Happy anniversary to DR Jane and Keith!!!

Very nice pictures, Vixmom!

Happy 41st Anniversary Jane & Keith
-
well i am about to doze off again - night
-
I'm now leaving work. I'm feeding a friend's cat for the next three days, so I have to make sure that I don't forget...again. :-X
That would not be a good thing.
Then, to home to clean, for tomorrow, the aunt arrives!
Until later!
-
Happy anniversary to Keith and Jane. Hope your day and evening are wonderful.
-
Good Evening!
Well... A friend called me earlier saying he had some extra tickets to the current revival of Lend Me A Tenor, so... From 7:00pm-9:30pm I was down at the Music Box... -And, yes, Justin Bartha is CUTE! ;)
*The tickets were on TDF, and, apparently, South Pacific was on the list today too. However...
-
I love Ren & Stimpy. Happy Happy Joy Joy.
-
I'm guessing South Pacific will not be on TDF during the closing weeks of its run:
O'Hara Will Return to South Pacific in Time for "Live from Lincoln Center" PBS Broadcast (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/139971-OHara-Will-Return-to-South-Pacific-in-Time-for-Live-from-Lincoln-Center-PBS-Broadcast)
:)
*Now I'm wondering if Matthew Morrison will also return for the closing and taping. Frankly, the current Lt. Cable, well... Meh!
-
I wonder if Jane and Keith are going to make popcorn tonight.
-
Good night all.
-
Good night, Sam.
-
I've been viewing.
-
I love flowers.
-
I am Spartacus.
-
I DON'T GET FREEDOM DAY. THIS HAS TO DO WITH TAXES. ?????
-
Back to the Topic of the Day for a post...
"Maurice"
"My Beautiful Laundrette"
"Parting Glances"
"Madame Sousatzka"
"The Competition"
-
You can celebrate getting away from that bad apartment you were in and celebrate the wonderful place where you are now.
-
Sorry to be late to the well wishers for JANE & KEITH's ANNIVERSARY. Now you share it always with Al and Tipper Gore's announcement. ;) ;D
-
HI LAURA. ;D
-
Now I really need to sleep.
Night all.
-
Happy 41st Anniversary to Jane and Keith!!!!!
-
Dear Laura, I do celebrate every morning when I see the ocean. I do live in a wonderful place. ;D
-
;D

The kittens got shots today, and I was informed that the boys are all big enough to be neutered, although Jennifer has to gain another half-pound. They are fixing the boys smaller.
I thought fixing boys when they are too young can lead to FUS (Feline Urinary Syndrome)
-
I had an insane day and had a splitting headache all day. Tonight I went to dinner with Alan Baum, a CA atty who I'm working on a case with and who was in town tonight. We had a fabulous dinner. My headache went away and I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep

I know, but I don't own them.
-
I'm glad you are feeling better.
-
I'm done with my viewing. I could watch something else but I'm not in the mood. I've seen one motion picture on the DVR and several short subjects and am now listening to music.
-
I'm glad you are feeling better.
thanks!
-
Thanks for the nice comments about the paint job. It was fun
-
time for sleep. Night all...vibes to anyone who needs them
-
Painting is always fun. Well, when it is finished.
-
I love flowers.
-
One of the things about having a huge number of home-grown CDs with unreleased soundtracks is that when you watch a motion picture on the DVR and absolutely love the score, one just goes in the home-grown CD closet and happily finds it.
-
I wonder if I'll achieve my new plateau this evening or on the 'morrow.
-
I'd have to make eighteen more postings. I can probably do that.
-
That way we'd probably get to page seven and then no one can say we didn't get to page seven and you know that someone would say we didn't get to page seven and this will preclude that.

Oh, I can't do it all alone.

"Gillyflowers maybe?
'Stead of daisies.
I don't know though.
What do you think?..."

DR vixmom - Well... I'm sure you could always take a picture of the impatiens tomorrow. ;)
-
And...
Goodnight.
-
That's what I'M talkin' about.
-
Right now I am not smoking the marijuana cigarettes.
-
I hope to live the rest of my life without ever having smoked the marijuana cigarettes.

No weed, Mary Jane, blunts, doobies...

Well, we got to page seven. I suppose that means I'll achieve my new plateau this very evening, and hopefully dear reader George will be here to immortalize it.
-
I'm here...and if you reach your plateau, BK, I'll capture it. :)

I watched tonight's "Glee" and am now watching "America's Got Talent." America does have some talent.
