I'm trying to decide if I want to go see Barak Obama on Sunday. I got a ticket (they are free) but not sure if I'll go

I spent the first part of the evening with the new DIsney made-for-cable film JUMP IN! In true Disney fashion, it's the story of a fellow who learns you must be true to yourself to live a happy and fulfilling life. Not a bad message and the cast is so attractive that the familiar message is ladled on with a smooth spread. But this is the nicest 'hood you're ever going to see. No gangs, a couple of bullies, and no one speaks profanity even when taunting or trying to drag someone into a fight.

I also watched the special features on the disc which gives rudimentary instruction on Double Dutching, for those not "in the know," the art of jumping double ropes in wild and flashy, gymnastic ways. Quite an art and now asport of some reknown.

The Jane Fonda interview on TCM was quite interesting. The concentration was on her film career, not her activism or fitness regimens, so lots of movies got mentioned. I was pretty disappointed that JULIA wasn't mentioned at all (except for a passing reference to Fred Zinnemann) nor her working relationship with Vanessa Redgrave, topics I was eager to hear about. But plenty did get talked about in a lively hour of chatter about the movies.

CSI had a grisly investigation of the murders of six showgirls who had their throats slit amid other abuse at the hands of a psycho. Nice to see Walton Goggins (from THE SHIELD), Robert Gant (from QUEER AS FOLK), and Ruby Dee among the guest cast.

I concluded my evening with another episode of THE WILD WILD WEST - "The Night of the Returning Dead." Peter Lawford and Sammy Davis Jr. guest starred in the episode as a wealthy landowner and his servant dealing with a zombie returning to seek vengeance on those who murdered him.

Tomorrow I'll have only ANDY BARKER, P.I. from tonight to watch. I'll be filling the rest of the day with various DVDs of interest, and who knows what the mailman may bring for me tomorrow?

The concert went well...I did a duet of Porpora's Magnificat, which went very well, and my Chorale basically kicked some choral ass. We're lucky that Harrisonburg is chock full of fantastic churches, and that they're more than willing to let us use their spaces. The acoustic at the Baptist church we usually use is incredible, which made for a ROUSING rendition of "Elijah Rock."

We also performed a version of "The King of Love" that was arranged for Gerald Ford's funeral this past January. The arranger, Michael McCarthy, is a good friend of the director of choral activities at JMU, and sent us the manuscript for the piece. I'm 99% positive that this was the first performance of the piece since the funeral, which is pretty special. It's a beautiful arrangement of a gorgeous hymn.

Oh 9am technology classes, how I loathe thee.

BK -- Finished up "Kritzerland" today...and of course, I really, really enjoyed it!

I think I am going to loan the it and "Benjamin Kritzer" to Heather, seeing as how I'm sure she'd love to know more of the history behind her new favorite person.

Holy moly on Rye! It's midnight. I was so caught up in watching the ugly dogs that time just slipped by.

But before I go...I have won many things...money, a trip to San Diego, and lots of movie tickets, and other misc items. I'm still waiting to win the lottery.....when I do we'll have one heck of a big HHW party

Since I need to be in class at 7:30 am...I better get to sleep. Night. Looking forward to a S & V report.

The party list looks like an event: eleven count 'em eleven people. In addition to our visiting guests of honor, and of course Skip and me and Toby and Dylan, it'll be (in alphaabetical order):

Ant
Ben
Elmore
Rodzinski
TPunk
Vixmom
Vixter

Now if we could get Jose to drop by for a half hour or so on break...

FJL · « **Reply #476 on:** March 29, 2007, 10:30:32 PM »

And I'm wondering if we could get Dan the Man to come in from PA for the occasion, but I guess that's something of a shlep for two and a half hours.

Cason · « **Reply #477 on:** March 29, 2007, 10:31:26 PM »

By the way, DR MBarnum - I'll gladly join you and the merry troupe at Musso & Frank's - just keep me posted on dates and times!

Cason, come and get Kritzer Time - I'm sure the ending of Kritzerland has made you curious.

DR Jose, thanks for giving Mr Kander a Brain. I think you shoud get over the angst and see where this chance acquaintance goes. I'm sure, with all the work you're hauling in, he's willing to kiss butt. I know you'll enjoy that.

DR elmore - What angst? What chance acquaintance? -Oh, that one. -I had almost forgotten what I had posted. In any case...

I'm over it now. It was just the capper to a very weird day for me. I really do wish him all the best - and he's a great piano player, and a wonderful musician and teacher. -Now if he could just finally realize that he's gay...

-I decided to head out a few hours ago, and join some friends for a drink or two. Well, I actually didn't drink, but I did hang out with them for a bit, and that was exactly what I needed. Since I've practically been living at Chelsea Studios the past couple of weeks, I haven't really seen any "new" people in a while. And the change of scenery was just what I needed to clear my head.
