You are in a car with several people.....Simon & Garfunkel's "Sounds of Silence" comes on the radio.....the driver announces: "This song was written about Woodstock."  And everyone in the car is impressed that he knows that....

I chose not to speak up after some deliberation.....sometimes it just isn't worth it......kind of like the day at Blockbuster when the girl in line in front of me told the clerk that Audrey Hepburn was married to William Holden when he died.....

Now that I have learned my lines and sort of set my performance, I watched the movie version of NEVER TOO LATE again last night.

The changes Long made in the screen play were really clumsy, now that I look at it.....and Connie Stevens and Jim Hutton are great.....but pretty much charmless in their roles....and Maureen O'Sullivan is just too old for the part....maybe onstage it worked, but not on film....Jane Wyatt who plays neighbor Grace would have been better.....but she just wasn't box office, I guess....and O'Sullivan and Paul Ford came from the Broadway production AND 1007 performances.

There were some good acts. There was this daredevil running inside a huge steel hamster wheel. The wheel went up to the roof and then spun around. He would run either in it or on top.  There was a big gasp when he was skipping on top of it (in the air) and almost fell (with no net).

Good morning, all! I have a lot of Victor Herbert wrting today and tomorrow so I'm sticking close to the apartment Around 5 pm today, I'm meeting Bruce Pomahac, and at 7 we're seeing a short play with songs by Larry Grossman that Alice Playten is in. After the show, we're going to dinner, I'm looking forward to it.

Last night I finished the biography I was reading and I have to settle on a new book today. It may be FOOL, based on KING LEAR, by Christopher Moore (no relation). I've also got the book about the smothers Brothers, so maybe I'll begin both of them.
Title: Re: ARBITRARY
Post by: Jennifer on August 28, 2010, 05:59:27 AM
It ended at 10pm (because of the intermission), which is sort of late for kids.

We had 10 free tickets. So my niece's best friend was there with her mom and brother. And my sister's friend was there with her husband and two kids. And there was me, my sis and my niece.

It's hard to believe that 2 years ago we had to leave in the middle because my niece hated it and was too scared.

Although we could use a bit more storage space, we really are in our dream house now.

I wish it was back in Los Angeles, but then everything would be 37-40% more expensive.

On the other hand, in L.A., I could go to Canter's regularly and get a good corned beef on rye sandwich.

Saturday morning greetings!  Rob and ML went to Cincinnati early this morning for coffee with a friend and Richard just left for a memorial service for the grandmother of one of Rob's high school friends.  The kids will meet him there and later today we'll all rendezvous to go to dinner at Montgomery Inn.  No more ribs, Saratoga chips, and ranch dressing for me, but I'm sure the barbecue chicken, baked potato or vegetable, and nonfat salad dressing will be just as good.  Or I could have grilled salmon.

DR Ginny, is the Montgomery Inn close to the Tri-County shopping center? I have the residual memory that the Macbeths took me there a very long time ago while she was still growing fangs.

TOD: Lago Atitlan in Guatemala was the most peaceful site I may have ever visited. The light, the color, the serenity were all magical. The lake is at the base of former volcanos and it's icy cold, the perfect antidote for a long hot day. Coffee grows on the mountain sides, so it smells as if you're living in a pot of freshly brewed coffee (which I don't drink but the love smell of). I wanna go back.

Has anyone heard of something called BackMagic? I got it for my back. I hope it helps!

No.  Be careful at first so you don't do more damage.

I've been using it for 2 days and my back feels a lot better.  Not sure yet if it was because of this. But i'm not complaining.

Healing Vibes for Dear TCB


Thanks, vixmom!  The virus seems to be almost gone ( I slept a lot yesterday), but the MRSA hurts like Hell.

Partial good news.  CONTINUED MRSA VIBES!!!

Thank you, Jane.  Is your company gone?

Yes.  Today was relaxing, very chilly, but enjoyable.  Next week will be very hectic for me even without company.

T.O.D.

That 35 million dollar house, that someone posted last week, would certainly be in the running.  Still, have they ever heard of drapes or curtains, especially in the bathroom?

I would not want that house.

Stretches are good for the back so it could be working.  Whatever the reason I'm glad you feel better. :)

I'm starving - but won't get food into my gaping maw until about six-thirty.  I think the one thing that we know is that my dining partners are rarely on time - I'll get there as scheduled at six-fifteen and my guess is I'll be sitting waiting until six-thirty.  We shall see.

Speaking of auditions, we have some good choices, but I'd like a few more for Joe Gillis and Max.  But we have a good number for both the male and female ensemble, which is exciting.  I was worried about that.  Of course, we have some good contenders for Norma, which is awesome.  We have one AEA contract that we may or may not use.  We'll see....

Post by: elmore3003 on August 28, 2010, 07:35:44 PM
I have returned from seeing a new comedy, with a musical comedy sequence written by Larry Grossman and Ryan Cunningham, titled IT MUST BE HIM, written by Kenny Solms, one of the writers for "The Carol Burnett Show." The comedy is a biographcal gay comedy, based - I assume - on Mr Solms' life and romantic entanglements. Peter Scolari has the lead, and he's good. He carries the whole play; I don't think he ever leaves the stage. Alice Playten and Bob Ari, looking like Lou Jacobi, play his dead parents who haunt his nightmares, and they and the ensemble cast are quite wonderful. The play is slight, about an hour and fifteen minutes long, but full of heart and good humor, but I wish it had a little more depth. The biggest problem for me is that it loses its momentum in the delays to get into and out of the scenery for the musical comedy sequence. The loss in momentum is not a good thing for a fast comedy.

MRSA being a pain always reminds me of what a pain the Mercer film was. Tomorrow we'll see if it wins an Emmy. All the Turner entries are things I worked on: THE CLOSER, MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE and Mercer. So I'm rooting for the TNT shows and not expecting much for Mercer. I was shocked that it even got nominated!

Dancing was fun, but on the way there I began to feel as if something I had eaten for dinner was going to bother me all evening. And it did. Still, I managed a few fun dances and enjoyed seeing some old friends I hadn't seen for at least two years.

One asked if I were still working at the newspaper. After I said I had been laid off 18 months ago, I realized that they are yet another couple who don't read the paper and how irrelevant it is to the loves of most people in the region. Sad statement to make.

BK, yesterday you posted something about a petty, pathetic mother selling her son's autographed copy of one of the Kriterzland novels for a few bucks and how it should have gone to his partner. Well, if you know how to get in touch with the partner, I'd be glad to pay the few bucks and forward it on to the man.

I'd also like to include a note to the mother about what charity, kindness and forgiveness are supposed to mean. And how many light years she falls short of the mark.

Thank you for answering my question from yesterday. I was in meetings for two days and didn't have internet access again until tonight.

Tonight we were at the end of the runway in place to take off, and a teenage boy across the aisle and up a few seats became ill. As soon as they announced we were going back to the gate for a medical emergency, a doctor stepped up to help the flight attendants until the paramedics got on board. Then just before we landed, we had to circle over Phoenix waiting for the thunderstorms to pass before we could come in to land.

That's all the exciting things I have to post about.

Great job!  I'm just about to take a shower and then walk to work...it's only about 15 minutes, but then I have to walk back. :)

Yeah, but I was aiming for 26 minutes today.  Ah, well, I'll try again tomorrow!

Richard Valley's mother is more than 80 years old. She would not begrudge Tom Amorosi any memorabilia that belonged to Richard. If she is selling his collection, it is with Amorosi's blessing. Amorosi was never really interested in the mystery/horror/sf genres.

I wish I could go to bed instead of watching Katrina restrospectives. The weather channel is running an episode of "It Could Happen Tomorrow" which was made months before Katrina predicting the disaster of a cat 5 hurricane on New Orleans. The show didn't run---they changed the location to NY and reduced the predicted storm to cat 3. The next year they ran the original "lost episode" which incorporated the actual footage from Katrina.
