Ya know, I wasn't frightened so much last night by the huge tubs of sour cream on BK's partay host's table as I was curious about why there was a pump bottle of Vaseline hand cream present.  Is there some Hanukkah tradition that I'm not aware of?
Hand Cream is NOT a dairy product!

I don't normally say this, but WHERE IS EVERYONE? We had record breaking days and now we haven't reached 100 postings by 7:00pm! on the east coast of the US of A
Everyone is out shopping.  For doggie treats.   :D

I spent a couple of hours at the theater this afternoon going through the endless props used in NUNCRACKERS. It gave all of the adults a final time to bond. It was quite a weepy affair. (Ensemble shows like this one really make you in to a family.)

Once I returned home, I put dirty laundry into the washing machine and started watching DIAL M FOR MURDER. Boy, it is a VAST improvement on the laserdisc! Wow!

Thanks, DR td, for the PACIFIC OVERTURES report. Obviously, you've never seen a copy of the Broadway version taped for Japanese television. Wish you had so you could compare the two productions. In the big Winter Garden with the cast entering and exiting all over the theater, it was a much grander spectacle than the Studio 54 production could possibly be (not that this would make it better, just very different).

I bit the bullet and bought a ticket to David Copperfield and to Hairspray.  I got wonderful seats near the front but I promise not to forget my bilberry and my binoculars!

I have wanted to see David Copperfield for more years then I can remember.  He comes here every January and I somehow manage to miss him.  Next year is the year.  I can't wait!

I'm not as sure about Hairspray.  It's not fantasy or magic.  In fact, I'm not sure what it is about.  I just remember hearing how it was a big hit on Broadway.  Well, we'll see.

Hairspray is about dancing, winning the heart of the dreamiest guy around, and bringing about integration in Philadelphia in 1962.  (That, in the real world, Philly is still having problems is another story.   :-\)  It's got music by Marc Shaiman and lyrics by Shaiman and his partner, Scott Wittman.  Yes, partner.  THAT kind of partner.  Shaiman also wrote the songs to South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut.  Remember "Blame Canada"?  Hairspray is just as irreverent, but without the dirty words.  You'll love it.

By the way, TD, thank you for the nice comment regarding my Peggy Webber interview! She is still such a busy gal with her work at National Public Radio, and she is one heck of a nice lady!

I figure I ought to wish Tomofoz a Happy Birthday now since it is tomorrow for him.

 I missed Michael Barnum's birthday :'(, but I will make up for it this week.  And if Michael's friend, Mark, ever gets lonely, please send him my way.

Jose-- definitely time for you to move.  Your situation is beginning to sound like a Neil Simon play (only without the laughs).

Thank you Kerry. In fact is today (Monday) still for another 12 hours!  I shall nevertheless keep your wishes safely until then.

I showed "Pocketful of Miracles" to a friend who had never seen it.  I'm a sucker for the story, and there is one of the greatest collection f character actors in that film.  Do we still have people like that?  Very few, I'm afraid, although some former young stars could be great character actors.

MBarnum, what does Mr. Friedman say about my little ol' film?  And I don't think his film is a musical in the way that my film is a musical, but that's just my opinion.

Just back from doing errands and then paying my brief respects to the Pogue's, who were having their little xmas "do".  Their home was beautiful and warm and they always have interesting folks there .  But they also have a cat and I can't be around it for long without getting allergic.

I'm getting very confused. Not  difficult at my age.  The birthday wishes are indeed welcome but my birthday is December 14th.  It is not December 14 anywhere on the planet yet. Not even in middle earth for another 10 hours.

Well, certainly no one is playing volleyball in your film! LOL!

He and the commentary moderator are discussing that the "genre" of a nudie musical never really got off the ground (they were joshing, of course), and after this film and another film called SINDERELLA AND THE GOLDEN BRA (1964) there wasn't another nudie musical until your film came out. They also mentioned that your film was a bit more mainstream, while there film played in select theaters in Chicago and Los Angeles.

I kept hoping they would make reference to your film...and then they did!

Hello fellow dear readers. I spent all morning at church and then all afternoon at a board meeting. I was out all day (and night) yesterday, so I have lots to catch up on at home. I'm so tired I don't even remember the TOD.

Note to DR TomovOz: I can't get the CD to play!!!  :-(  But we are trying.

DR Sandra - Not to worry, I purchased (Diet) Cherry Coke.
BTW - I'm usually not very good about holding onto and using grocery coupons. But a week or two ago I got $10. off coupon in the mail from the local Von's (it was a reward for putting up with the renovations they're doing). I actually kept it and remembered to use it. Hallelujah! Combined with the Von's Club savings, I got over $70. worth of groceries for around 40 bucks! (Including the Cherry Coke, DR Sandra!) Pretty good.
