Every day, baby! :)

Good Grief! Good morning DR Ben!

Yes, I'm up at 5:36am. I usually am anyway but not in front of the computer. I'm eating my oatmeal at home because Ant is on Long Island. I will join him there on Friday but since he's gone I'm have breakfast at home today, tomorrow and Friday. I usually eat at the office so I don't wake him up. Today there is no one to wake up.
-
And I'm here all by myself as well.
-
And on that note I shall resume eating.
Later.
-
I'm back at 7:08 and there hasn't been a post since. You'd think people were asleep or something.
-
I'm at the office now after having a breakfast of oatmeal and blueberries. I have read e-mail, the NY Times, Dilbert, Doonesbury and Calvin and Hobbes. I know they don't publish any more but they still run the strip on line at
Calvin and Hobbes (http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/)
I laugh every morning at C&H
And now I must do things here at the office. I will be back.

Good morning, all! I have several things to accomplish today. This morning, I have to finish Mr Ron Raines' orchestration for "I Won't Send Roses," and then I have a trek to Toyland to finish last minute packing nonsense and deal with another crisis from the California office. After that, I must return and finish a chunk of a last-minute chart that arrived late last afternoon from Mr Kevin Spirtas. I'd like to finish it in the next day and get it into priority mail to the copyist in LA.
Yesterday was a peculiar day dealing with the office, our sponsor waffling about the Fat Conductor With Limited Talent and Limitless Ego, and the needless ruffling of the feathers of a co-worker by a comment yesteday morning that was retracted last night around 10:30. Oy! Sometimes the job ain't worth it!
BK, did you get your package?

I was just responding to DR Edisaurus's direct post last night. Of course it will be a delight meeting you as well, and all other DRs who attend.

Shameless plugs are always welcomed -- thanks SingSong! He's the understudy, but it looks like he'll get to go on opening night, Aug. 11. He's the understudy for all the male roles, but the main guy he's been shadowing has a family wedding that weekend, so it looks like Case will get the chance. We thought it ain't gonna happen, but it just so happened that Bukowsical drew that performance slot so it looks like the lucky break gods are smiling on him.

DR Mizz Karen...well that's great news!! Especially since I had just purchased my ticket...for opening night, Aug 11th!!! :)

It seems that way, said with fingers crossed (I'm trying to avoid the would definitely since I don't want to jinx the deal since you never know with actors -- the guy may decide to not go to the wedding at the last minute... ::))

That last week of September -- I'm still deciding on the exact day to come -- I'd love to see opening night, but I'm Asst. Director for our theatre's musical here -- Suburb -- and that's our closing weekend (I'm thinking my work will be done by then -- but I haven't approached the director yet -- but they may not appreciate my not being there to help strike the set and clean up -- but they all adore Cason so maybe they'll cut me some slack) or then the 22 or 23 to Oct. 1 Can't wait to me you and all the NYC HHWers and others converging for the event!

Yes, I've been E&T.
We've been busy at work, what with the tourist season.
And it's taken a little while for my meds to kick back in, and I've learned it's best to never post when depressed - I can never tell what idiotic thing I'll be writing.

Der Brucer finally finished Deathly Hallows. Fletcher should be happier now - he was getting so fed up with der B reading all the time that he knocked the book out of der B's hands and put his head on it, demanding some attention now!
I've just a few pages left in Zen of Fish - I've promised Chrissy from the seafood department that I'd loan it to her. Her mate, Bill (meat department), should be getting Charcuterie back to me soon, too - he's impressed enough that he wants his own copy.
Yep, we're playing musical chairs with books around here.
(Around here = Rehoboth)

I need a haircut. :P
Time to try catching up around here.

DRs Matt H and RLP - I hesitate to mention it, but my MGM Musicals Vol. 2 box did arrive from Amazon yesterday.

Wednesday morning greetings! It's a short night when I've worked until 9pm (as I did last night) and have to be back here at 9am (as I did this morning). Yawn!
Today I have to look into flights to NYC and fill out the paperwork here for approval of the business part of the trip that I'm now referring to as our "NYMF Week." I think we'll aim to see The Brain on Sept. 30 and Such Good Friends and Starfighter both on Oct. 3.
DH Richard and I will be in the city Sept. 29-Oct. 7, so it looks like our visit will overlap with DR Edi's and DR Miss Karen's. Won't that be fun?

Here's a question for our esteemed BK:
Have you ever had hush puppies? What did you think of them?
By which I mean, the corn meal treats sometimes served with southern cooking, particularly with pulled pork and the like. Not the shoes, which I can't think would taste very good.
I served up some very good ham a few nights ago, and made hush puppies as the main side dish, using a recipe in the Lee Brothers Southern Cookbook. Aside from my getting the oil too hot, the recipe made for a great number of very good hush puppies - perhaps too many for the two of us.
The problem is, I don't think it would be easy to halve the recipe, since it calls for just one egg.
I suppose we could share with the real puppies, the ones who need shushing every once in a while. ::)
-
I'm up. Feeling like I fought a battle in my sleep. No question for bk at this time. But like George, I reserve to ask one during the day.
Tonight, Mom and I are going to dinner and then to see "Hairspray". I've heard good things about it and I'm going in with an open mind.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And for some unknown reason I was up at 5:00AM?!?!? But then, of course, fell back asleep for a few more hours. :)
-
The logo of the American Medical Association features a very nice caducity. ;D
-
Will we never get to page two?
Come and gone.
-
DR Mizz Karen...well that's great news!! Especially since I had just purchased my ticket...for opening night, Aug 11th!!! :)
I've bought mine as well!
-
DR SWW - There's no such thing as "too many hush puppies". ;) *I still remember the family outings to "Family Fish House" growing up - my brothers and I would usually end up filling up on the free(!) hush puppies that we wouldn't have room in our tummies for our entrees. In any case...
As for your surplus of hush puppies, you can freeze them, then just reheat them in the oven for a bit. However, since the recipe is a "cheap" one, I don't think there's too much of a problem with throwing the rest of the batter in the sink/trash.
However, you could also keep the leftover batter for a day or two, then thin it out a bit with some water, and used it to coat some hot dogs for homemade corndogs. :)
-
DRs Matt H and RLP - I hesitate to mention it, but my MGM Musicals Vol. 2 box did arrive from Amazon yesterday.
I delighted for you but DISGUSTED and ANGRY for myself. I didn't order mine from Amazon; I went the Deep Discount route, and for the last several box sets I've gotten from DD (including the Tyrone Power and Esther Williams boxes), I'd order on Wednesday, get the shipping notice Thursday, and the box would arrive on Monday.
Same series of events with the musicals box but it didn't come on Monday OR Tuesday.
Hence my disgust.
It has just GOT to come today!
-
...Or you could improvise griddle cakes the next morning for breakfast. But those would be tasty with some Grade B Maple Syrup and butter on them. Or some Lyle's Golden Syrup.
-
Good morning!
It was cool enough to have the doors and windows opened last night and this morning, but I've already closed things up and turned the central A/C back on. The humidity was moving in quickly this morning, and I was starting to sweat inside the house.
-
My friend Hal stopped by this morning to bring me my birthday present.
No, it's not my birthday (not for a month and and some days), but he had two copies of HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS and gave me one for my birthday. SInce I hadn't read HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE, he brought me that, too.
I will be starting HALF BLOOD PRINCE when I go back down in a bit before starting lunch preparation.
-
Assuming that I'll be getting the MGM musical box in the mail today, I will first watch THE PIRATE and then watch WORDS & MUSIC. I like/love all of the musicals in this box, even THAT MIDNIGHT KISS with Kathryn Grayson, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that these DVDs look at least as good as the prints TCM has been airing of them over the last year. I have made DVD-Rs of many of them not knowing at the time that Warner was going to release them on commercial DVDs.
-
I'm going to have three Buena Vista TV sets arriving probably tomorrow (THE MUPPET SHOW 2, HOME IMPROVEMENT 7, and EIGHT SIMPLE RULES 1), so that's going to be occupying my time for the next week or so.
That's why I'd love to get these musical DVDs today so I can begin watching them before the onslaught of sitcoms arrives. Of course, I'm greatly looking forward to THE MUPPET SHOW. Some of those episodes I haven't seen since they first aired almost 30 years ago. (That CAN'T be true!)
-
And I have episodes of BURN NOTICE and MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST to watch today as I wait for the mail to be delivered.

Our family dogs when I was a child were always Basset Hounds--you wouldn't think so, but those puppies :) can RUN when there's a rabbit or somesuch to chase!!

I probably shouldn't admit this, but my sisters used to tie Happy's (our first basset) ears on top of her head (she didn't seem to mind).

Lovely photos from DR JASON.

I'm up...I'm up... Is it time to go back to bed yet?
Of course it isn't - it's nearly time to meet DR Jose for a day of fun! At least we HOPE it will be a day of fun. :)
I had hush puppies this week for the first time in many, many months. They were quite tasty and I would like some more, please...
I got an email from my dad today that was loaded with - I'm assuming - unintentional guilt. Something along the lines of "it was good to see you...your mom was lonely last night (he's out of town on business)...it would help if you were closer...etc." OY! Of course, she also asked me when I was going to get married and have her some grandchildren - again - and I was very confused by that because we've had this talk already...
-
Time for some exercise.
May I ask what this choreographer's exercise program is?
-
Oh, and GOOD MORNING!
-
Shall we discuss exercise programs? Or is that taboo here? BK tells us about his jogs.
This H/K stretches every morning. She is also TRYING to get back into a regular routine on her stationary bike. It's amazing how difficult it can be to get back into a routine that you've done for years and years.
-
And, of course, we have JOSE's reservoir jaunts. And his walking/eating tours.

Ask BK: I thought you said you had misread the University guy's resignation letter and that he's not leaving until next year, or did I imagine that along with The Drowsy Chaperone's US closing (thanks, Ben, I saw your clarification)? This can of course be counted as a rhetorical question. :)

My heart goes out to you about that. I'm sure others on this forum endured similar guilt trips and pressure, and it's infuriating to have to be the victim of it. YOUR happiness and well-being should be the ONLY consideration, and to put you in a position where you feel less than great about yourself especially now that you're an adult and make your own decisions about your life is completely unfair and thoughtless.
But no one ever said that parents are infallible or even reasonable about certain areas of their children's lives. Mine certainly weren't.
-
I'm heading down now to start HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE and then begin lunch preparation.
WBBL.

Mothers are good at laying on guilt even if you only move two blocks away from home and give them grandchildren. It is one of our gifts.
-
Good Afternoon!
So, what to do today? Gypsy again? "Hairspray" (again for me, first time for DR Jason)? "My Best Friend" down at IFC? Or some combination thereof?
In any case...

Question for BK: what's become of the Sparkle, Neely, Sparkle play? I don't recall you mentioning anything about it in many a moon.
The play, which is called Next December, is on the back-burner. As some know, given the behavior of a then-friend, who one of the roles was based on, the whole thing got a little icky and I put it away. It's pretty funny and a nice play, and I'll take it out and do it at some point.
-
And that's why MBarnum's mom is in "the home." :o
LOL!
Although quite honestly, if I could afford a larger home..one where we could both have our own space... I would be fine with having my mom live with me. But I am remembering over that last year or so since she moved to Salem, exactly why it is I have never been that close to her.
I love her and we spend time together...we have dinner and I help her run errands every Wednesday...and I feel I have a duty towards her, but I have never felt any kind of a bond between us. My sister feels the same way as I do and presumably so do my brothers, although we have never talked about it...but neither of my parents (nor my older sibling's father) were very close to their children. In fact when my father died in 2001 he hadn't seen his kids from his first marriage in close to 20 years and none of them came to his funeral despite their all living in Oregon.
Oddly enough all of my siblings have very close and happy relationships with their own kids, which is wonderful. They did not want to pass down the tradition (my mom, aunts and uncle were not all that fond of their own mother).
So there you go...more info about my family organization then you ever wanted to know. I feel no guilt about my relationship, or lack there-of, with my parents.
As I always say...you pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your family.

I did misread it, and he technically could be there until next year, but I know he doesn't want to be and they're trying to replace him right now, hence the panic. He sent me an e this morning saying he's asked for a meeting with the check writing guy to get this done. Hopefully that will happen this week.

At twenty-one, she's not a troubled teen, although twenty-one is clearly the new eleven. She's pathetic and the fact that this idiot is a role model for teen girls is even more pathetic.

1) PayPal is making it impossible for me to send my Brain share through them. BK, I've tried several different computers and a couple of work-arounds and nothing worked. Per your email, I'll put a check in the snail mail ASAP!
2) Flights to New York, from either Dayton or Cincinnati (we're right between the 2 airports) are expensive and inconvenient. Does anyone else find it absurd to fly from southern Ohio to Chicago, St. Louis, Charlotte, or Atlanta to get to NYC?

...As I always say...you pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your family.
Armistead Maupin, in comparing blood relatives versus the groups of people we gather in our lives, refers to the two as the biological family and the logical family.
-
Question for you: Did you get the shares e-mail?
I did not, but der Brucer was handling the shares from both of us, so you may have sent him the e-mail. (Family habit - he handles the on-line spending, I do almost all of the food shopping.)
-
One online transaction that has gone smoothly today has resulted in DH Richard and me becoming members of NYMF :D
-
I found the tape, and it's one of my favorite episodics that I ever did.
You are speaking DS Betsy's "secret" language--more can not be said on threat of spousal murder. :)

This organization
Bi-Folkal Productions (http://www.bifolkal.org/)
has received a grant from the Carnegie (that's pronounced "carNEGie", not "CARnegie") Corporation toward production of a documentary on the role and image of librarians in film and society.
I know two people they could interview. :D
-
In case you're interested that grant would be codes as follows
Field of Activity-B71 (Libraries (public))/A31 (Film/video)
no population group since we don't have a code for librarians
Type of Support-44 (Film/video/radio production)
-
Carnegie (that's pronounced "carNEGie", not "CARnegie")
Try as I might, I have great difficulty in prouncing this correctly after hearing it incorrectly for so many years. The correct way just sounds wrong.
-
NO code for Librarians?
That's the title for my memoirs.
-
And speaking of Carnegie,
(http://www.iaac.us/AH_concert/images/Carnegiehall.jpg)
have any of our NYC DRs ever been asked directions by a tourist and actually had the opportunity to use the old "practice, practice, practice" punchline? ;)
-
NO code for Librarians?
The amazing story of how massive doses of vitamin C and echinacea have kept librarians CODE-free for years!?!
-
Actually, librarians (at least those of us who belong to ALA) DO have a
Code of Ethics (http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/statementspols/codeofethics/codeethics.htm)
-
Thanks for that link, DR Ginny! It's quite a wonderful document, really.
-
Clearly, Lindsay Lohan's mother is not doing a good job on the guilt trip thing.
;D

I don't. Nowadays, they let anyone play there.
-
I'm up...I'm up... Is it time to go back to bed yet?
Of course it isn't - it's nearly time to meet DR Jose for a day of fun! At least we HOPE it will be a day of fun. :)
I had hush puppies this week for the first time in many, many months. They were quite tasty and I would like some more, please...
I got an email from my dad today that was loaded with - I'm assuming - unintentional guilt. Something along the lines of "it was good to see you...your mom was lonely last night (he's out of town on business)...it would help if you were closer...etc." OY! Of course, she also asked me when I was going to get married and have her some grandchildren - again - and I was very confused by that because we've had this talk already...
The next time Mom asks this question, just smile sweetly and say to her, "Someday, Mom--when I find the right guy."
-
I'm at the office now after having a breakfast of oatmeal and blueberries. I have read e-mail, the NY Times, Dilbert, Doonesbury and Calvin and Hobbes. I know they don't publish any more but they still run the strip on line at
Calvin and Hobbes (http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/)
I laugh every morning at C&H
And now I must do things here at the office. I will be back.
For Christmas (if I remember correctly), I bought my sister The Complete Calvin and Hobbes (http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Calvin-Hobbes/dp/0740748475/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-6469038-7235237?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1185386162&sr=8-1). I love this, too! (but not enough to buy myself the set ::))
Anyway, I go to Get Fuzzy (http://www.comics.com/comics/getfuzzy/) all the time. I love this comic strip! ;D
-
I've been to Staples (to get copies of both right justified and right ragged versions of the book), have Fed Exed a package and shall now organize.
-
The next time Mom asks this question, just smile sweetly and say to her, "Someday, Mom--when I find the right guy."
...and it's legal. ;)
-
Of course, she also asked me when I was going to get married and have her some grandchildren - again - and I was very confused by that because we've had this talk already...
My mom gave up on me years ago!
As my DH says, "Just because she gives you the ticket doesn't mean you have to take the trip."
-
Does anyone plan on getting this set next week?
(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51rcHZ3mL6L._SS500_.jpg)
-
DR JoseSPiano, have you heard anything on last night's ACL with the new cast members?
-
Oh, and Route 66 is finally coming to DVD on October 23rd!
-
"Someday, Mom--when I find the right guy."
;D
And - on a tangential topic - don't you just LOVE what Richard Rodgers does harmonically at the end of the show version of "I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy", where Nellie and the girls keep tossing the repeating "I'm in Love" phrase back & forth, while the orchestra churns up & down the scale harmonically underneath them?
A photocopy of that page of the score makes a wonderfully romantic stationary for a love note.
Addressed to a man, of course.
And keeping in mind that such photocopies are illegal.
:)
-
I thought the Kathy Griffin bit on her show recently where she was standing next to her big poster outside Carnegie Hall and soliciting candid feedback from the random passers-by was most entertaining. :)
-

I love those old Popeye cartoons. They are so trippy!
-
I watched the 1970 film Something for Everyone the other night. Interesting story, and engrossing. Hal Prince directed, and did a darn sight better with this than he did with the film of A Little Night Music. Hugh Wheeler co-wrote the screenplay. Angela Lansbury and Michael York both give magnetic performances. But it's an unsettling story, just as The Page Turner was.

Hmmm...I've never seen this but I remember seeing posters and such that make it out to be a romp of a comedy. Are you saying that it's not?
-
Well, there are some campy elements, but it's more of a black comedy, if a comedy at all. Fairly dark.
-
I <heart> Goofus!
:)
:D
Julie-Sherlock is a Bernese Mountain Dog. The breed is originally from Bern, Switzerland where they were all around farm dogs, pulling milk wagons & herding. They were not used as guard dogs but lived with the families so they are very sweet. Sherlock’s temperament is classic, just a big calm sweet boy.
He is just beginning to respond to Goofus, maybe more for Keith than me since I don’t use it as often. That is cute about Bella.

That last week of September -- I'm still deciding on the exact day to come -- I'd love to see opening night, but I'm Asst. Director for our theatre's musical here -- Suburb -- and that's our closing weekend (I'm thinking my work will be done by then -- but I haven't approached the director yet -- but they may not appreciate my not being there to help strike the set and clean up -- but they all adore Cason so maybe they'll cut me some slack) or then the 22 or 23 to Oct. 1 Can't wait to me you and all the NYC HHWers and others converging for the event!
Miss Karen! Where are your priorities?? Won't this be Cason's NY acting debut?? Don't you feel that experiencing his (potential) opening night is more important than just being the ASSISTANT director of anything...regardless of strike??
Just my 2¢.
;)
-
I'm going to have three Buena Vista TV sets arriving probably tomorrow (THE MUPPET SHOW 2, HOME IMPROVEMENT 7, and EIGHT SIMPLE RULES 1), so that's going to be occupying my time for the next week or so.
That's why I'd love to get these musical DVDs today so I can begin watching them before the onslaught of sitcoms arrives. Of course, I'm greatly looking forward to THE MUPPET SHOW. Some of those episodes I haven't seen since they first aired almost 30 years ago. (That CAN'T be true!)
The Muppet Show Season 2?? It isn't supposed to be released until August 7...TWO WEEKS AWAY!! How do you rate??
;)
-
I'm up...I'm up... Is it time to go back to bed yet?
If he's cute enough.
;D

No, but I will be getting this:

I love those old Popeye cartoons. They are so trippy!
My problem with those cartoons was that I was always much more attracted to Bluto. Even then.
-
DITTO! Sherlock of the Giant Paws is so adorable! If I knew how, I'd post a photo of my dog, who has many pet names -- one of which is Doofus!
LOL-Great pet name.
If no one can explain(my details would be inadequate) how to post a photo you can email it to me & I will post it. I would like very much to see Doofus.
-
Here's another one I will be ordering:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/WandaDuck/61poFVn-P1L._SS500_.jpg) (http://www.amazon.com/Josie-Pussycats-Complete-Janet-Waldo/dp/B000RPD0DM/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-7576901-0719933?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1185390213&sr=1-1)
I never missed this show. I loved the characters and the mysteries much more than those on Scooby-Doo. I also liked the songs a lot--I even had the album!
Now all they need to do is release THE SPACE KIDDETTES on DVD to make my life complete!
-
I was always much more attracted to Bluto.

Me, too! :)

I'll have to get the Route 66 set for sure.
-
Just finished writing a three-page letter to the alumni association membership. I wanted to be very strong, but I tempered it all with humor. You just try to do something helpful for these people, and they sit on their collective ASSES and don't help. Which is why most of them are where they are, I hate to say it.
-
At long last, page six.
-
Will we never get to page seven?
-
And sorry about the guilt trip...but don't fall for it. I never did and I still don't.
Your mother still does that too :o
When my children think I'm being an annoying nagging mother I should let them read what your mother's do.
Jason you should tell your father it could be worse, you could move out of the country like Craig did, & just might do again. ;D
-
Jane, you are not working hard enough in the guilt department. Neither of your sons have given you grandchildren yet. You need to get busy. ;)
-
DR JEANNE - I work 20 minutes a day on by Pro Form air walker.....which is sort of like a Nordic track, but NO impact.
I then do 100 leg reps and 100 arm reps with my Thigh-Master.
-
Will be leaving for rehearsal soon.
Early with El Gallo and Luisa....and then Act One....which I am sure the director thinks he has blocked, which isn't really....which he will find out tonight.
-
Route 66 on DVD......I hope it is by the season...and not a compilation.
-
Jane, you are not working hard enough in the guilt department. Neither of your sons have given you grandchildren yet. You need to get busy. ;)

Later tonight!!!

Carnegie (that's pronounced "carNEGie", not "CARnegie") Corporation toward production of a documentary on the role and image of librarians in film and society.
Craig & I heard it pronounced correctly when I was at Carnegie-Mellon with him. I didn't know all these years we had it wrong-figured they knew better at the school. ;D It feels so awkward I doubt I'll be getting it right unless I hear it correctly on a regular basis.
-
Route 66 on DVD......I hope it is by the season...and not a compilation.
It appears to be season 1.
-
DRs Laura & Singdaw-LOL. When Craig re-introduced Yogi to me he said this is your grandmother.
-
I watched the 1970 film Something for Everyone the other night. Interesting story, and engrossing.
I loved that movie---saw it several times when it came out. I'd like to see it again!

Okay, Mother Jorge ... I'm impressed, you've got Mothering 101 -- the chapter on "passive-aggressive guilt tripping" or in this case the "aggressive-passive guilt tripping" down perfectly --
Students take note -- see how Mother Jorge starts with the direct attack guilt trip but stops suddenly then backs off with the innocent "just my 2 cents" then for an extra dose of sugar adds a sweet little wink -- that leaves the child feeling guilty but unable to argue, debate or fight with you about it -- you know, get your motherly dig in quickly and then douse it with sweetness before they have time to get on the defensive ...very, very good Mother Jorge, you've been watching and learning...
-
From Jason:
And this is her twin sister, Jenna. I mean, could they be much cuter?
No, but then the whole family is cute, so why not them. Their mother & cousin Maggie are also darling.
-
I then do 100 leg reps and 100 arm reps with my Thigh-Master.
What's his name?

What's his name?

Miss Karen - I saw a production of a musical called Suburb a number of years ago, mounted shortly after it won the Richard Rodgers award. I assume it's the same show? I enjoyed it very much, and thought it had some great musical numbers.
-
MBarnum & JMK-Thanks for the coastal town tips. I noticed Newport has a good number of hotels that seem to be very dog friendly.
We have a few steps here to Sherlock's potty area, we just don't want him taking too many of them & stressing his elbow joints.
-
Just ketched up. Now off to the tax office, and then to see GYPSY with Julie.
-
LOL!
Although quite honestly, if I could afford a larger home..one where we could both have our own space... I would be fine with having my mom live with me.
Nooo, no, no -- having parents move in with you (or you moving in with them) after about 18 ain't a good idea (and remind Cason if he ever acts like he's thinking about it someday). Us mothers may seem innocent enough once we get old, but ...
Mikey, then who gets the credit for you turning out to be such a sweet-heart?....
-
Bruce-More excellent vibes and xylophones to bring about a happy and quick resolution to your funding problem.
-
Did you know that you can look up the birth/death dates of people on the Social Security Death Index (http://ssdi.rootsweb.com/)? I was skeptical, but I tried it on a few of my deceased relatives. Kind of creepy! I guess it is used as a tool in genealogy research.
-
Miss Karen, I would say Mikey gets the credit. :)
He does have a very nice brother, our ex FedEx guy.
-
Singdaw Keith does it all the time for his genealogy research. We never thought of it as creepy, just very convenient.
-
I'm off to take Sherlock for a walk so he can make the folks on the street smile. I do love watching their faces as we walk by. Of course a good number of those people stop us to spend time with him. :)
-
Miss Karen - I saw a production of a musical called Suburb a number of years ago, mounted shortly after it won the Richard Rodgers award. I assume it's the same show? I enjoyed it very much, and thought it had some great musical numbers.
Yep, DR Julie, that's the one. I think it can be a very charming and enjoyable musical -- with, like you noted, some great numbers. The staging and set have been giving me fits though (I'm not big on chorus folks in black standing on blocks in the background like a choir) so we're having them be characters in the neighborhood, the mall, etc. -- but I had a eureka moment this afternoon and after about a month of struggling with it (usually I can envision a set right off the bat -- but this one is written with scenes jumping all over the place location wise so it took a while to figure out how to make it work) it came to me and it's going to make the staging and pace flow and move along perfectfully. Pacing is another one of my pet peeves. Now, I just hope the director can envision my vision...
-
Mikey, then who gets the credit for you turning out to be such a sweet-heart?....
Years of watching Lassie, Leave it to Beaver, Family Affair and such. I owe it all to growing up in front of the tube watching mild mannered, humanist shows TV shows.
-
I find it highly disturbing that social security numbers and names are available online.
-
oh, if you're wondering why the director if letting me have so much input -- this is part of my practicum for my master and he agreed to let me be very hands on -- plus his health, his personality and his involvement with trying to start a new theatre in a neighbor town make him not as hands on as I like to be -- so I think the relationship should work out okay .. I'll keep you posted...
-
The Muppet Show Season 2?? It isn't supposed to be released until August 7...TWO WEEKS AWAY!! How do you rate??

They're review copies, DR George.

I watched all of those shows, too -- and even had two wonderful parents and the best sister in the world -- but I still can be a little dickens...Guess Mikey was just born a sweetheart ...
-
I never thought SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE quite worked. I liked the leads, but I didn't find it as wonderful as all that talent would have led me to believe it would be.
However, I haven't seen it since about 1980, so I'd love to see it again and give it another chance.
-
Miss Karen - it sounds like a wonderful opportunity for you, and you are clearly making the most of it. Congratulations, and many vibes to you for a successful run, and for selling the director on your vision.

I had a full afternoon of TV, but sad to say, NONE of it was MGM musicals.
That's right: my MGM Musical box did not come today. I don't know whether to cry or throw things.
-
I began by watching two more MOONLIGHTING documentaries which are on the final disc of Season 1/2. I find it interesting that no one has yet mentioned how Glenn Gordon Caron got thrown off his own show (I think by Cybill Shepherd) in the final season. However, maybe that information is on the Season 4 box set which I don't have.
-
Then, I watched an episode on this last disc. It involved an old man who wanted to die and had hired someone to kill him so his family could claim the insurance. He wanted David and Maddie to be observers to confirm that someone did kill him.
Actually, a very sneaky plot and I liked the episode. Also had a very, very hot kiss between an unshaven David (Bruce Willis never looked sexier) and Maddie.
-

1) PayPal is making it impossible for me to send my Brain share through them. BK, I've tried several different computers and a couple of work-arounds and nothing worked. Per your email, I'll put a check in the snail mail ASAP!
2) Flights to New York, from either Dayton or Cincinnati (we're right between the 2 airports) are expensive and inconvenient. Does anyone else find it absurd to fly from southern Ohio to Chicago, St. Louis, Charlotte, or Atlanta to get to NYC?
I didn't think the US Airways fares were outrageous from Dayton.
-
Next, I watched the season finale of MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST. An early section where Kathy tried giving away money was hysterical as suspicious people avoided her. But the episode turned to tears as Kathy flew to Ireland and scattered her father's ashes there.
A wonderful wrap-up to a very good (but too short) season of episodes.
-

-
Next, I watched BURN NOTICE, an excellent and involving dual-edged episode as our hero dodged an assassin while trying to help a father retrieve his daughter from men who wanted to exploit her under the guise of offering her modeling jobs.
Really am enjoying the show.
-
Miss Karen - it sounds like a wonderful opportunity for you, and you are clearly making the most of it. Congratulations, and many vibes to you for a successful run, and for selling the director on your vision.
Thank you --- speaking of which, I'd better go get back to work.
-
Finished the afternoon with one more MOONLIGHTING episode. In this one, David uses a call girl who has a mob guy who talks in his sleep to feed him information about upcoming crimes. David becomes the hottest detective in LA until a contract is put out on him!

And speaking of Carnegie, (http://www.iaac.us/AH_concert/images/Carnegiehall.jpg)
have any of our NYC DRs ever been asked directions by a tourist and actually had the opportunity to use the old "practice, practice, practice" punchline? ;)
No, but a friend of mine who got lost in midtown in the 1970's asked a tall sleazily-dressed lady for directions, and she said, "kid, I sell p***y; I ain't no fu***n' road map."

One nice thing about the Wellington is that it is right next to Carnegie Hall and if you're on the north side of the building you can sometimes hear musicians practicing when they have their windows open.

The book it's based on is even more bizarre with more murders, as I recall.

Jose's already given you a head's up about the Jet Blue sale. You might consider flying out of Pittsburgh for about $108 round trip.

Tourists don't seem to be interested in Carnegie Hall any more, not since they put a carousel within an awful Toys R Us. But I used to say "How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Take the N or the R to 57th."
Noel - Small world - Nick Borisjuk was the sound designer on Skip's show HERRINGBONE, which Roger Rees just directed last month at Williamstown.
FJL, now I can't get "Herringbone is the name of my show...name of my suit" out of my head. Which is inopportune, as I have to write a new 11 o'clock number now.

As of today, there are NO nonstops from Dayton and only a few back. I might just put this on the back burner until we return from Wisconsin.

Columbus is even closer for us, DR Noel, and I may explore that a bit. Being a 2-hour drive from our house, though, we'd have to factor in the cost of gas. I'm hoping that the JetBlue sale might put some pressure on the other carriers to lower some of their convenient flights.

I told you! :) :) :)
I really am in your debt, DR Elmore. I'm enjoying it as much as PSYCH and THE CLOSER this summer.

FEDex just e-mailed me to let me know something has been delivered to my home environment...I know not what it is, however, but it was someone with a name sounding like Chinese food.

Well, I'm puzzled: I just checked the US Airways site for tentative dates Sept. 25-Oct 2, and there are four nonstop flights from Dayton to LaGuardia.
Flight 2322 leaves Dayton at 9:30 and arrives in LGA around 11:28.
There are three nonstop flights back to Dayton during the day.

To those who have received their MGM Musicals department (sorry MattH): are you noticing the severe soundtrack degradation on The Pirate, as I am? I don't remember it being this bad in the That's Entertainment clips (but I'll have to go back and check--maybe it was always this bad). For instance, listen to the first 5 minutes of the film, with fairly severe high frequency hiss and distortion, and then magically at 5:05, it all clears and everything's great (for about 3 minutes, when it goes back again). Curious to hear from others on this.
-
BTW, MattH, just so you don't want to throw *too* many things, I went to Border's and bought one today, since I had a 30% off coupon--which brought my price right down into the DDD range.
-
It is gray and windy out. Wish us some rain!
I hear thunder.
-
I'm enjoying it as much as PSYCH and THE CLOSER this summer.
Bite! Your! Tongue!

Well, we found out this afternoon that it looks like they have found Susan Fast, thorugh the GPS records from her car. Her son is on his way home to Florida and another editor will take over on-lining SAVING GRACE & HEARTLAND since he'll probably be down there for several weeks. It's very bad, but at least it has been resolved and the family will be able to have some closure.
Thanks to DR's who sent their vibes---they will certainly need them now.

Years of watching Lassie, Leave it to Beaver, Family Affair and such. I owe it all to growing up in front of the tube watching mild mannered, humanist shows TV shows.
Kinda makes me wonder what Bill O'Reilly, Michael Moore and Ann Coulter watched when they were young. :P
-
Edisaurus, we were hoping for good news. But I'm glad at least that they found her.

I'm pretty sure Coulter simply watched a tape loop of

Someone made mention earlier of DR TCB. He's Ok but has "screwed up" his shoulder again.
I think François should be due back tomorrow.
-
I find it highly disturbing that social security numbers and names are available online.
Only once you don't need them anymore.
-
I told you! :) :) :)
Did you see my thank you post Monday evening?
-
But can't someone still open an account with your name and birthdate and social security number? How would the bank know said person is deceased?
-
I'm uncertain what to do about the justified or ragged right issue. The justified looks neat and all, but it's doing that thing I hate, putting spaces between words that are spacier than should be - I don't know if it's the way Grant did it, or if I'd have to live with it, and I won't live with it because it's gross. The ragged, like all my other books, isn't as neat, but there's something about it that I like (although I haven't been able to find one other book in my collection that has a ragged right) - it's different, and the spacing is, of course, perfect. I've asked Grant about the spacing problem - if he gives an answer that makes sense, then I'll go with that, but I'm not going to proof further until I know. The ragged version probably has virtually nothing else to correct, whereas the justified version has introduced some bad breaks, etc. and has to be proofed completely and carefully.

As someone who was there at the transition from typsetting (which I did) to word processing (which I did way too much of, LOL), what you need is "leading" (led-ing), i.e., adjusted space between letters and words. I haven't poked around on Word, but I'll betcha it has a leading option.
-
Edi-The details are very disturbing. My sympathies are with Susan's family & am wishing them strength vibes while they continue to go through this.
-
But can't someone still open an account with your name and birthdate and social security number? How would the bank know said person is deceased?
Any financial institution would need to check with social security because of IRS regulations.
Do you feel better now ;D
-
WELCOME FiFiLePew!
-
Jane, I guess it's one of those things they keep pounding into you: never drive into a flowing wash, never leave a child around water, never give out your social security number.
-
My mom gave up on me years ago!
As my DH says, "Just because she gives you the ticket doesn't mean you have to take the trip."
After my marrige to someone I had only known for 4 days...hey, it lasted a year...anyway, after that my mother still doesn't want me to date...and my divorce was final in 1989!
-
Of course I have no desire to date either, so I just let her think she's influencing me
-

Tell her you're only dating other women from now on.
Just make sure she isn't carrying a casserole that she's just taken from the oven at the time.
:o

Live on the news: a rescue from a water-filled wash.

She knows that isn't going to happen, so she'd probably just ignore the comment, or say something like "I wouldn't blame you"
-
I was always a bit scared to drive through a wash even when it was dry...you just never know...
-
Okay, Mother Jorge ... I'm impressed, you've got Mothering 101 -- the chapter on "passive-aggressive guilt tripping" or in this case the "aggressive-passive guilt tripping" down perfectly --
Students take note -- see how Mother Jorge starts with the direct attack guilt trip but stops suddenly then backs off with the innocent "just my 2 cents" then for an extra dose of sugar adds a sweet little wink -- that leaves the child feeling guilty but unable to argue, debate or fight with you about it -- you know, get your motherly dig in quickly and then douse it with sweetness before they have time to get on the defensive ...very, very good Mother Jorge, you've been watching and learning...
My work here is done. :)
-
Time for me to get dinner prepped.
Hamburger patties, zucchini pancakes, and something in the way of pasta.

In the shape of a patty perhaps?

I had a phone message from Charles Bloom, son of my friend and interviewee the late Carolyn Kearney. It seems that Carolyn's husband (Charlie's stepdad) had a stroke this week and it was severe enough that he will be unable to care for their 8 year old dog Koda.
The times that I visited Carolyn and Al during my LA trips were all the more fun because of Koda...he is such a sweetie pie....so if any DRs in the southern California area, or perhaps even the Arizona area (!) might like to give a home to a well behaved, mild mannered, loves children, 8 year old mixed breed (probably Lab and Irish setter or something like that would be my guess) dog please get in touch with me ASAP! And just remember that Koda belonged to the star of THE THING THAT COULDN'T DIE and HOT ROD GIRL!! You would have a celebridog!
Currently Koda is with Charles' aunt who is 75 and not able to care for a dog either.
If I have time tonight I will scan a photo of Koda and post it. He is genuinly a sweety and if I didn't have Bosco I would likely have paid to have him shipped up her to me!
-
Did you see my thank you post Monday evening?
Yep! but I was hounding DR MattH. It was such a good show and I couldn't believe it wasn't on his list.
-
It's time for me to go to the focus group at the Washington Center. We'll see what it's all about! Until later.
:)
-
Yep! but I was hounding DR MattH. It was such a good show and I couldn't believe it wasn't on his list.
I'm shocked my brother didn't email me to watch the show after the pilot. He didn't mention it until I suggested he watch it.
-
Is Koda good with cats? DR Laura has been wanting a dog.
-
Good Evening!
Well... Since it was such a nice day here in NYC... In fact, just too nice to stay inside all day... Not even in a theatre watching Patti LuPone as Momma Rose... Instead...
Lunch at the new-ish Landmarc in the Time-Warner Center. A good burger (served with Bernaise sauce on the side), a good chicken sandwich, and Cotton Candy (which is "off the menu") for dessert. Strawberry Cotton Candy!
A walk through SoHo and the West Village with stop at Uniqlo, Marie-Belle Chocolates (for some surprisingly spicy Spicy Chocolate Gelato), and Magnolia Bakery (for some Hummingbird Cupcakes and Banana Pudding). :)
And, finally, a couple of minutes sitting in a park listening to a cool Dixieland-ish combo - while enjoying our Magnolia treats. -And the singer really could SANG!!
All in all, a very nice day in New York City!
-
...And I could have sworn my friend, Brett, was having lunch a few tables away from us at Landmarc. I even went up to his table, put my hand on his shoulder, and almost greeted him with a hug... -Um, I'm not Brett... Are you sure? (I mean I was really sure it was Brett)... No, my name is not Brett... Oh, OK...
-Followed by DR Jason and I making a quick exit out of the restaurant. ::)
-
Not long after we were married Keith’s father used to ask when I was going to get pregnant. My response was to ask if he would pay the bills. That kept him quiet, for awhile. Then Keith’s brother provided them with a grandchild & he left us alone.
Around that time my parents began the pressure for us to have a baby. Realizing we couldn’t afford one my mother offered financial support. I wanted a baby so badly I was tempted to accept. Sadly we both knew an acceptance of money also included their, or my mother’s, right to tell us how to take care of the baby. Once my brother’s wife became pregnant the offer was dropped.
Bryan has said he doesn’t want children & Craig is now the age we were when we had Bryan. Neither are ready for children & I fear by the time a grandchild, if it ever happens, comes along we will be too old to enjoy the experience.
-
We are not in a position to take in any more animals.
DR Kerry, maybe.
-
Our parents never got on us to have kids. Of course, we were young and poor when we had ours.
-
My insane mother used to bitch at me in front of her friends that I'd never marry and she'd never have grandkids. Well, my two brothers each produced offspring - the Macbeth's little bitches and Randy's three great kids - and my mother only proved one thing: she was as shitty a grandmother as she'd been a mother. But she was crazy.

LOL- I once yelled hello to a woman I thought was my aunt. She waved back & came up to me with a big hug. Just as we got close enough to realize we didn't know each other it was a bit late. So we hugged, said our goodbyes & went our separate ways. I have no idea who she thought I was, but she sure looked like my aunt. ;D
-
The title of today's notes is what I'm doing, because:
2) Flights to New York, from either Dayton or Cincinnati (we're right between the 2 airports) are expensive and inconvenient. Does anyone else find it absurd to fly from southern Ohio to Chicago, St. Louis, Charlotte, or Atlanta to get to NYC?
Well, when I had to fly to Atlanta this past spring, I had to fly through Chicago. So... ???
-
Well, downpours all around town except for here. That's what they mean by localized, I guess.
-
Sometimes when I'm bored I like to go to a travel site and type in a flight to Los Angeles, then scroll all the way down to the bottom to the expensive flights and see how wacky they get. Phoenix to Las Vegas to San Francisco to Denver to Los Angeles.
-
DR JoseSPiano, have you heard anything on last night's ACL with the new cast members?
I meant to check some of the chat boards last night for any comments especially since I saw some of the "regulars" waiting in line for the Lottery tickets. However, I ended up getting sidetracked by the first preview reports of Grease... :-\ ;)
-
Here's another one I will be ordering:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/WandaDuck/61poFVn-P1L._SS500_.jpg) (http://www.amazon.com/Josie-Pussycats-Complete-Janet-Waldo/dp/B000RPD0DM/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-7576901-0719933?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1185390213&sr=1-1)
I never missed this show. I loved the characters and the mysteries much more than those on Scooby-Doo. I also liked the songs a lot--I even had the album!
Well... When you grow up and your name is "Jose"... Sometimes watching "Josie and the Pussycats" was a bit painful... Kids can be so mean sometimes.
:(
;D
-
TCM is running GODSPELL. I knew that several of the actors went on to have very successful careers, but was sad to see that 3 of them had died at a relatively young age. I was also surprised that so many of them didn't do much in show business after that.
Also kind of sad to see them all happily dancing on the still-underconstruction world trade center.
-
I live in a dog-free household.
-

For only $929 I can fly first class from Medford to Phoenix, with a stop in Vegas. For $424 I can fly non-stop to Phoenix but I would have to suffer in coach.
For $328 I can fly to Portland, then Seattle, and finally to Phoenix. For the same amount I can skip the stop in Seattle.
I think it is time for me to stop procrastinating & go wash the dinner dishes. ;D
-
DR Elmore, little did your mother know you would have a wonderful God daughter.
-
Back from Art's Deli, where I had my tri-salad, and made notes on the script I'll be mentoring (the musical I did a few weeks ago). So much wrong with it - we'll see how much of a struggle it's going to be.
-
DR JEANNE - I work 20 minutes a day on by Pro Form air walker.....which is sort of like a Nordic track, but NO impact.
I then do 100 leg reps and 100 arm reps with my Thigh-Master.
Hummm...don't know the air walker. My stationary bike is the recumbent style and I LOVE it, so I do my cardio on that.
I'm trying to visualize the leg and arm reps on a Thigh-Master.
thanks for the info, JRAND.
-
Just for the record, I personally cannot stand it when the spacing between the words is screwy just so the right side looks neat. It makes it hard to read. The right side was meant to be ragged!
-
Well... When you grow up and your name is "Jose"... Sometimes watching "Josie and the Pussycats" was a bit painful... Kids can be so mean sometimes.
:(
;D
I watched this all the time
-
Now that I'm a great aunt, no one asks if I'm going to have children. I like that. I wanted a baby when I was in my early 30s, but I was recently divorced and really in no shape for a relationship let alone a baby. Then I just started enjoying my life and decided I didn't want to raise kids, either alone or with someone else. I've never regretted that decision.
I told my mother that once and she said "If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't have had kids" LOL, thanks Mom :)
-
My Thigh Master is named Suzanne.
DR EDISAURUS thanks for the update....prayers of course for those involved.
-
DR LAURA in your list of don'ts you left out:
Don't put Dawn in the dishwasher.
-
Hi everyone. I just want to say that I thoroughly enjoyed both the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and the film Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
-
There's that elusive FifiLePew again. Who is FifiLePew - come out, come out, wherever you are and join our merry troupe. We won't bite - well, maybe Jose will but it's pleasant.
-
Happy to see TPunk - how come she didn't come to the NYMF auditions?
-
I am watching Monday's episode of The Closer

Happy to see TPunk - how come she didn't come to the NYMF auditions?
Because I didn't know about them! When were they? I would have been there!
-
hi DR TPUNK!!
-
Is the show already cast?
-
Good Evening!
Well... Since it was such a nice day here in NYC... Magnolia Bakery (for some Hummingbird Cupcakes)
Do you have any idea how they prepare them? I've tried, but the darn little things are so hard to catch. :-\
-
Hi JRand!
-
I am so happy that dance classes are starting back up again this saturday. Maybe I will see Ben's Ant there.
-
Yes, that's another important "Don't," JRand.
I have never done that one, but my mom did once.
-
If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't change a thing.
Well, maybe one or two things, but nothing after 1979.
-
I have been churning out vocal arrangements all day for my Pacific Pops Choir. Our theme this fall is time, so I finished the nice Paul Van Dyk "Time of Our Lives" tune today (it's the one in all the Jeep commercials right now). I was kind of dozing off whilst watching t.v. this afternoon and suddenly from the depths of my subconscious came The Four Freshman (or whoever) singing "Green Leaves of Summer," which of course is a time song, so I got right up and had that arrangement all nicely notated in about an hour. So I think I'll do "Twilight Time" next and call it a day for this particular season--we'll use existing "time" charts for the rest of the tunes.
-
Anyone care to comment on the sound quality of The Pirate? ::) :P
-
I wouldn't change anything either.
-
Except maybe the channel....what on earth am I watching????
-
There was a knock at our door a little while ago. The Goldstein girls escaped from their dad and came to visit.
-
I have discovered a great way to lose weight....go through the boxes in my storage room in the garage when it's still 95 degrees in there. Man, I was out there for about 30 minutes and was soaking wet when I came in...I had to have lost at least a pound. That's my story and I'm sticking to it
-
My best weight loss experience was when we went on a whale-watching trip when we visited my sister in Maine. I didn't eat or drink anything all day. I knew it would make me seasick. I lost two pounds that day.
-
As I always say...you pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your family.
...and you can't pick your friends' noses.
-
Does anyone plan on getting this set next week?
(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51rcHZ3mL6L._SS500_.jpg)
Garsh! I would, but I already have the Captain Scarlett boxed set...and I'm thinking this would repeat those shows, too. What to do? What to do?
-
Hey, FiFiLePew -- jump in and join us! We love to have new Dear Readers join us!
-
TPunk, they were all last week, EPAs for all NYMF shows. I don't know about others, but we're certainly not cast yet - if you'd like to come in when I'm there casting, I'll arrange it.
-
I am so happy that dance classes are starting back up again this saturday. Maybe I will see Ben's Ant there.
Nope, not this Saturday. We will be on Long Island. Anthony is already out there and I'm leaving Friday afternoon. We will be back on Sunday afternoon. The full schedule is in force so next Saturday August 4th you'll probably see him.
-
Good Evening!
A very interesting "So You Think You Can Dance?" tonight. Alas, the one couple that the judges criticized the most were truly done a disservice by their choreographer. And, sadly, even though I could feel the judges wanting to fault the choreographer, they did not. :-\
Tomorrow night's result show should be very interesting.
-
Clearly, Lindsay Lohan's mother is not doing a good job on the guilt trip thing.
That was my thought also...
-
DR Cason, DR MissKaren - When exactly is DR Cason coming into NYC? And does he still need a sublet?
-
Nice pictures Jason..

Here's another one I will be ordering:

I never missed this show. I loved the characters and the mysteries much more than those on Scooby-Doo. I also liked the songs a lot--I even had the album!
Now all they need to do is release THE SPACE KIDDETTES on DVD to make my life complete!
I vaguely remember this show...
Some of the morning shows I remember were THe Care Bears, Smurfs, Strawberry Shortcake, Pound Puppies
There used to be some live action saturday shows on CBS back in the late 70s and early 80s that I remenber such as Isis, Shazam, Thunder and a few others. There was a sci fi one that was on where people would travel the country after some sort of disaster in an RV.
For some odd reason, The guys from one of the dorms used to like to come to our dorm and watch Electric Company and Sesame Street. Zoom / Contact 1-2-3 and Big Blue Marble.
-
I find it highly disturbing that social security numbers and names are available online.
Social Security Death Index has been available for a number of years
-
The Muppet Show Season 2?? It isn't supposed to be released until August 7...TWO WEEKS AWAY!! How do you rate??
;)
Season Two is available at the DVD shop (read: porn store) across the street from my theatre. It's a little over $40...
-
But can't someone still open an account with your name and birthdate and social security number? How would the bank know said person is deceased?
Banks have to check the status of the number before it can be used to open an account
-
Is Koda good with cats? DR Laura has been wanting a dog.
I don't know for sure as Carolyn did not have any cats. He is probably like Bosco and doesn't even pay any attention to them. He has such a sweet disposition I can't imagine he would bother them at all.
-
BRETT AND BUTTER - that should be the name of something, shouldn't it?
-
Hi Fred!
-
YOU TAKE MY BRETT AWAY - a revenge saga about one person stealing another person's boyfriend and putting a lookalike in his place
-
There was a knock at our door a little while ago. The Goldstein girls escaped from their dad and came to visit.
Maybe the Goldstein girls would like a friendly mutt that was once owned by a celebrity.
-
Hi Cilla!
-
Saw GYPSY with Julie tonight. Loved it even more this time.
-
Today was another great day at the office. Very busy, but having Nadia there was the difference between night and day. She is great. She doesn't have a legal background, I don't think she's ever been a secretary, but all I have to do is show her how to do something once and she gets it. And she is positive, wants to learn and better her life and she is fabulous with my clients. I hired her on gut feeling and I'm glad I did. Ok, it's only been 2 days, but she's already talking about how she can't wait to see the snow fly outside the window, lol. I guess she's planning to stay!
-
Anyone care to comment on the sound quality of The Pirate? ::) :P
If I can ever GET the darn thing, I'd be GLAD to comment! :-[ :'(
-
I was so frustrated and disappointed with not having the MGM musicals tonight that I refused to watch anything new.
I put in HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN and got lost in that world for 2+ hours. Loved every minute of it.
-
As people who visited our Last Starfighter NYMF page know, Julie is our producer/production manager for the NYMF production. While I'm sure it will get crazy close to the actual production, having her there to manage things has been so reassuring. But I bring this up tonight because it felt so cool going through publciity options for our NYMF show just before seeing GYPSY tonight. It somehow felt very "New York theater," in the best sense of the expression.
-
BTW, I'm enjoying THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE book, too. I had thought I would wait until Christmas to start the book since the movie is slated to come out during the 2008 holiday season, but having seen ORDER OF THE PHOENIX last week, I was ready to continue on with the Harry Potter saga.
-
After I finished the POTTER film, I put in Season One of THE CLOSER and watched the "You Are There" episode, the only dealing with the autistic child. Loved this episode, and I remember being SO shocked with the denouement when I first saw the episode.
-
Tonight's RESCUE ME had again a much lighter tone than most of last season's shows. I really laughed a lot and am enjoying Season 4 so much.
-
Wow! It's after 1 a.m. here, so I'm on my way to bed. I may not get another chapter of HALF BLOOD PRINCE read before the lights go out.
Good night!

Will you guys be holding private auditions for the show or were the EPAs it for you guys? I'd love to be seen if you're seeing people...
-
OMG YOU GUYS!!!! I got my Marriott Rewards bill today, they hadn't included the points from my trip to Orlando in my Rewards, so it looks like I have enough points to stay at the Courtyard New York Manhattan/Fifth Avenue at 3 East 40th Street. Now I've got to figure out how to do this with my rewards and see about a flight. Midwest is having a sale....hmmmm I'm looking at Sept 28 to Oct 1....
-

A friend of mine who works for Marriott says that is his favorite Marriott location in the city. It's in a semi-historic building - can't remember what makes it historic right now - and the location is surprisingly convenient for being on the East Side.
-
The EPA's for Last Starfighter haven't happened yet. Probably will end up being during the week after next, since I think two weeks lead time may be required.

It's the only Marriott property, other than the Upper East Side that I have enough points to use. I can get a flight on Midwest with cookies for $218 - they just started a sale....ok....time to start booking things and buy tickets and joine NYMF... there are just too many friends doing things to miss this trip!
-
Yay, Cilla! The more in NY the merrier.
-
Just came home from seeing "Hairspray" - Loved every minute of it. It's a fine fine movie unto itself. Doesn't try to be the previous movie or the musical. Fine work.

Hey Jason! I'm going to New York after all....thank you Mariott Rewards...

Jason, I believe Michael Cassara has my list of folks, but to make sure, please drop him an e-mail and make sure - tell him I told you to. Same with Ant, Ben.

See what happens when I stay up late...lol.. I better get to sleep. I have a long day tomorrow.

Well, I went to the focus group this afternoon and evidently, they had another group yesterday. It was interesting. There were about 10 of us and a facilitator and another woman typing on a laptop computer who never said anything. They also recorded the whole thing. They asked general questions like how long have we been involved with the Center, what kinds of performances/performance groups do we like to go to, what are the good/bad things about the Center, what specific things would we like to have come to the Center...things like that. It lasted a couple of hours and we were told that we'd all be contacted in August with the results of the focus groups. And then I went to my sister's house.

Well, it turns out that my sister did not get the widescreen HD TV today. She needs to make sure that there is enough clearance space for ventilation and she's going to check several on-line places to compare prices, shipping and possible tax amounts. At least all of the shelves are up, except that she had gotten doors for the shelfs so that the TV can be hidden when not in use, but she got the wrong size door tracks. She got one set of 70-inch wide tracks instead of two sets of 48-inch wide tracks. Darn...now she has to go back to Ikea. ;)

And since it's still "Ask BK Day," I finally have a question for anyone. I thought that I had lost my 512 MB memory stick but actually found it earlier this evening. My question is: How long do I need to let it dry after it's been washed in the washing machine...assuming that putting it in the dryer (on purpose) is not a good thing? And I'm not kidding. ::)
I hope it still works! I don't think that there was anything tremendously important on it, but it did have some things saved. :( Dopey me.

I too am planning my various NY trips. Now that my classes are set in stone I need to figure out what two show weekends I am coming. I am going to try to make the Brain opening, but it requires me to miss 3 classes, so it depends on my teacher's kindness. I also need to figure which showtimes I want to see Starfighter and Such Good Friends and purchase my tickets. I will be there the weekend of the 28th :)

But the good news is is that I'm going to see the World Premiere Engagement of Young Frankenstein (http://www.theparamount.com/YoungFrankenstein/) at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle!! I'm going Tuesday, August 14 and the seats are in row L on the main floor! That's a pretty good location! I'm so excited!! It's the pre-Broadway tour! Now, if I can just sneak in a video camera.... ::)
;D

I know it's not The Brain or The Last Starfighter or Such Good Friends at NYMF, but it'll do...for now. :D

And now I must go to bed. I NEED to be at work at 9:00...and that's pretty darned early for me. We'll see if I make it! ;)
Good night, all!
