I'm really sorry  folks here seem to have missed "Life -- one of the finer shows I've seen in recent years.

Damian Lewis is an amazing actor and his character in this show is multi-dimensional, quirky and haunting.

Not your run-of-the-mill show...and there are plenty of cookie-cutter shows out there.

Other than "Life", there was nothing on primetime last night to tempt me in the slightest.

Tonight is a different thing, altogether.  Tonight is "Ugly Betty" and "Smallville".

On "Smallville", we get to see Clark Kent's (aka Kal El's) "bizarro world" counterpart.

It should be f-u-n!


I rewatched Monday's "Heroes" episode last night.  For anyone who has not yet seen it:

[size=8]SPOILER[/size]

I was a bit indifferent to the new story arc of the brother and sister in Honduras trying to escape "Jose Law" and get to the U.S.  The sister does have a devastatingly dangerous power, and the brother is desparately trying to save her.  Perhaps, once they get here, it will interest me more.  The subtitles were a bother.  I know "Heroes" is going to be more "international" this season, but I'm not sure I want to be reading subtitles all season.

DR td - I thought the CD for Lorna Luft's tribute show to her mother came out a few years ago?  I think I even have a copy somewhere.  -She performed the show at the University of Richmond a couple of years ago.  It was sort of in conjunction with her appearance as Mama Rose in their production of Gypsy.  She was a guest artist for a semester.

It was available as an import, it's getting it's domestic release on the 23rd of OCtober.

DR George, I think you should test drive it - set it up in the middle of the library and let her rip!

Well...I don't think that that would be tolerated. ;) I could set it up, though (but I won't).  The metal parts just bolt together.

If DR George's library is anything like mine, it might not even be noticed!

We're having new employee orientation this week, so there are a lot more people than usual...someone would notice something.

I guess I'm going to have to try this out.  That's quite the recommendation. :)

Speaking of singing sisters...

If Rosalyn Kind issued a new album, it would almost be like having a new release from her half-sister, Barbra.

As most of you know, I've seen the Porgy and Bess print they're showing here many times in LA as a pal of mine owns it.  But I've heard disturbing reports about out of focus projection and bad sound equipment.

I notice that Zubrick is wearing silver tights in New York, but he had the beatnik style black tights in LA.

I will actually be at Mary Poppins tomorrow afternoon.  However, you could stop by there right after rehearsal... And if you wanted to see the stage of the Schoenfeld, I could take you there too.

What time do you get done with rehearsal?

THIS JUST IN:

Virile Basses

Men with deep voices tend to have more children than those who speak at a higher pitch, scientists say.

Their finding is based on a group of hunter-gatherers in Tanzania known as the Hadza, who can be studied without bias because they use no birth control.

Males who hit lower notes as they talked had about two more children on average than squeaky speakers.
