As a curiosity factor I will probably watch the final episode of All My Children.
I never really watched the show over the years, but final episodes are always fun to watch.
I'm listening to Marry Me A Little, the 1981 Off-Broadway show of what was then obscure Sondheim songs. I forgot how much I like this show.
MEdia Check:
iPod: Nothing. I seem to have developed an aversion to earphones lately--I just can't relax and listen to music played that way
DR MICHAEL S - I have watched the DVD of MMMMW - and in his first scene with lots of dancing - there does seem to be some exposure by Mr Dick Shawn.....however, it is probably the lining in this swim trunks rather than anything else.
Travel vibes for DR JOSE.
Good morning, all!
DR Ben, I saw the original production of MARRY ME A LITTLE; it was quite wonderful, and I love the CD.
PAGE TWO!
PAGE TWO!
DR Jose,Ron just sent me an email saying he'd put your name on the backstage list and you didn't come back. I just wrote my friend back and said, you didn't tell me so how was he to know? Oy! It's a good thing he's talented because he sure doesn't think much! ;)

I'm up - not quite enough sleep. The Internet went down just after I posted the notes so I called Time Warner and got the recording that they knew the Internet was down (bravo) - I wanted to speak to someone and find out how long, and I was kept on hold for, oh, I don't know forty-minutes before I hung up. They're supposed to have humans there 24/7 but they kept telling me there was a higher than usual call volume - yeah, right, at one in the morning.
So...
One of the "highlights" of last night was what happened after the show.
As I was walking out, I happened to be right behind "The Texting Bitch", and could hear her complaining to her companion about how rude it was that "that woman" behind her asked to stop texting during the show. Well...
"Excuse, ma'am, but we both have friends and colleagues on that stage and you were being rude to them."
-No, I wasn't. Besides, she kept talking behind us.
"The only time I noticed her talking was whenever you took out your phone to start texting again. We could all see the light from your phone."
-No, you couldn't. I kept it in my bag.
"You were holding it up to your face."
-No, I wasn't. Besides, I had an emergency.
"Well, if you did have an emergency, then you should have left notice with the house manager, Dixon. And if it was a real emergency you would have left."
That's when she stopped talking.
:)

DR JOhn G I like that you went with the vegetarian dishes last night, sounds like a tasty dinner.
Thank you for the vibes. Craig landed a few minutes early & was in his hotel before 1:00AM. I know this because he kindly sent his mother a text.

Good for you, DR Jose! People like that need to be confronted with their rudeness!

Eggplant with a tomato, garlic, peppers, breadcrumbs and spices -- yum.
I might have to buy a dvd, George.

DR Laura, I thought I had mentioned that it was coming out. Mine arrived last week.

You'd be surprised at how many tech-heads, gamers, Twitterers, eBay-ers, etc. are online at 1:00am. Just sayin'.
Since I'm going to The Smoke House later, I checked on cups of clam chowder - that's definitely something to stay away from. Prime rib, on the other hand, is not so horrible if that's your meal o' the day - a generous 12oz hunk o' meat is around 1000 calories. Since I can eat up to 1400 and lose weight, that may be what I have this very evening.
Amen.So...

Smoke on your pipe and put that in!

Not the taping. The World Premiere simulcast at theaters around the country. Sad to say, it wasn't publicized in San Antonio, so there were only a few of us who showed up and shelled out our $20 a ticket. Still, it was fun seeing the Plaids sing with Carol Channing afterward.I might have to buy a dvd, George.

I would have loved to have gone to the taping.
I mean I would have loved to have been in the live audience when it was taped.I would, too.

DR Ben - Thanks for that "reminder". I've always been fond of MMAL too.
*I wonder if Craig Lucas ever sings, performs any more?
But before I watch Primo, I just received here at work from Amazon: the new Broadway cast recording of Anything Goes (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DTCKTM) AND the finally released DVD to Forever Plaid (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K4FUWA)!!
I can listen to the Forever Plaid DVD while I'm working, then I'll listen to Anything Goes.
;D
THE JETSONS premiered on this date forty-nine years ago. It was the first color program broadcast by ABC.
I'm surprised that Hollywood never made a live-action version. I think I wouldn't mind seeing that.
We took the pooches for a nice walk this morning. Now I'm doing laundry.
Last night DGC Kitty kept her dinner down but lost her breakfast this morning. This is surprising as it is canned food, which is has for dinner, and not the dry food she has for breakfast that is a problem.
Thanks, DR Jane. He's had a nap and a shower and feels much better.

It's either hairballs or a food allergy. I had a vet that once said "Cats are designed to throw up, get used to it"

DR Ben, I saw the original production of MARRY ME A LITTLE; it was quite wonderful, and I love the CD.
Sunday I'm going to the Broadway Cares Flea Market (I may see DR Kevin H. there as well) and I'll be doing Mr. Moore (and Mr. Raines) a favor while I'm up there.
As a curiosity factor I will probably watch the final episode of All My Children.
I never really watched the show over the years, but final episodes are always fun to watch.
I've been recording it (and a couple of other soaps) for DakotaCelt, so after today's episode(s), I'll send her the discs.

Back from a fun afternoon in Cincinnati with my Mother (and, surprise, Rob). Mom and I went to the Container Store for her to spend the gift cards we gave her last Christmas and Rob caught up with us there between appointments to look at apartments. He timed it just right to join us at the Cheesecake Factory for lunch and he was a big help getting Gram into and out of the car, etc.
Unfortunately, while we 3 were having fun, Richard was coping with being locked out of our house because he'd grabbed the wrong set of keys on his way out and our emergency options weren't in place (they are now...)

In HHW tradition, I would like to report that my laundry is done.
Good you heard from her, and not had a visit from her.In HHW tradition, I would like to report that my laundry is done.
On Tuesday, my friend took my laundry home to wash for me. Our laundry here is downstairs. I hadn't heard anything from her since then. This afternoon I got an e-mail that she and her husband are down with the flu.

That was very nice of your friend. I hope you aren't without any clean clothes now.
I was thinking of seeing a new show called "Relatively Speaking." It consists of three short plays, one written by Elaine May and one by Woody Allen (can't think of the third playwright). I've been a little scared off by the "reviews" on the broadway forums.There have been some regional productions that have been well reviewed. It all depends on whether you're as picky as a New York critic. I wouldn't mind seeing it. I'm probably going to go see a local production of "Xanadu" when I get back to S.A., which got decent but not rave reviews, as I recall.
Thanks, DR Jane. He's had a nap and a shower and feels much better.
Good.
I might have to buy a dvd, George.
But then you would need a DVR and a TV.
So, Texas has done away with last meal requests for inmates who are to be executed. Seems the following was ordered by one inmate, according to USA Today:
Brewer requested two chicken fried steaks, a triple-meat bacon cheeseburger, fried okra, a pound of barbecue, three fajitas, a meat lover's pizza, a pint of ice cream and a slab of peanut butter fudge with crushed peanuts. Prison officials said Brewer didn't eat any of it.
I don't know that I'd eat at all if I were facing the same fate, but I still probably wouldn't waste that much food, either.

Istanbul has been extremely hot and sunny again today. Visited the Topkapi Palace Museum which covers a very large area and consists of a rather confusingly laid out complex of attractive courtyards and numerous individual buildings. I'm sure everyone remembers the popular film TOPKAPI with Peter Ustinov involving the theft of the Topkapi jewelled dagger. It could be said that the film made the dagger famous.
Some of the Turkish food hasn't always been to my liking (I'm not known for adventurous eating) so for lunch today I had a Viennese Schnitzel!
I did it and am waiting for the book which might take another hour to load.
I think my Kindle downloads a book in sixty to ninety seconds.
Note to self: Benadryl which didn't used to make drowsy, does so now.
Tacoma Musical Playhouse, which is starting their 18th season tonight, has had the largest season ticket base of any theater in Washington. This is their new season.
LITTLE WOMEN
PETER PAN (A new musical version)
XANADU

JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT
Maybe I have become and old fuddy-duddy (not John Duddy), but this season does nothing for me. Any other opinions?
He wasn't exactly an honorable man, John G.LOL. Duly noted.

It's not that bad, they tell you not to move without getting the address changed in your modem. That isn't that big a deal
Apparently it didn't take an hour. Email just came in saying it should have downloaded. I don't see it yet.

Tomorrow afternoon, I have to attend a funeral. After the service, at the reception, I will be reading a letter, written by the deceased, where he discusses theater and his playing of Emile in SOUTH PACIFIC.Sorry for your loss. Glad you're able to be there to help remember him.
When Skylab fell I had a dream that it went through our house and landed in my bedroom. I'll be glad when this space junk is on the ground
