After last week's show, I need to stay up and watch PRIVATE PRACTICE tonight.

The previews look chilling. 

I'm not sure what they will show. I figure they showed what they were going to show at the end of last week's show. But maybe they will show it again or maybe there will be more.

I don't usually read plot spoilers. But I had already heard about this plotline before last week. Otherwise i think I would have been in shock.

I didn't see last weeks episode, so after seeing the previews I had to go find the summary on line.

I do believe we're actually cast for the December show - I just want to confirm the final member of our troupe and then I'll announce tomorrow.

I was just putting away some stuff when this photo fell out of an old historic Moroccan magazine holder my Dad brought home from WWII.  This was my childhood Basset Hound, Happy.  But I am posting this pic for one DR who may find something else of interest in the photo:

I am hoping that you don't mean Happy's genitals.

I had a wonderful 3-hour coffee get-together with my longtime friend Becky.  We hadn't seen each other for more than a year and a half, during which both of us have experienced major health crises.  The coincidence we discovered is that the male hematologist I've been seeing and the female rheumatologist she's been seeing share a very unusual last name.  I suspect they're husband and wife.  We agreed that we'd really missed each other and made plans to meet again for coffee before she and her husband leave for warmer climes for the winter.

DR Ginny - It must be the season for reconnecting with old friends.  I've had some wonderful face-to-face "reunions" over the past couple of weeks with some dear friends myself.

And a week from tonight we're hosting a family gathering because a California cousin of Richard's will be in town with her husband.  I've never met them and she and Richard last saw each other when she was 13 and he was 11.

Here's a little BK-related synchronicity.  The receptionist at Energy Trust, where Betsy works, just told Betsy today that her cousins are Erin and Diane Murphy, who played Tabitha on Bewitched!!

I was thinking maybe the vintage doorknob.

I'd like to marry Erin Murphy - she is CUTE!

We've just locked down our one and only LACCTAA event, but it's a doozie - a panel of the busiest directors of LA musical theater - Lewis Wilkenfeld (the artistic director of Cabrillo Music Theater), Steve Glaudini (the artistic director of Musical Theater West), Daniel Henning (the artistic director of the Blank Theater), Michael Michetti (director of many Reprise shows and straight plays at A Noise Within, as well as tons of waiver theater musicals), and Calvin Remsberg (lots of musicals around town - and best known as Beadle Bamford in Sweeney Todd).  I'd say that's a pretty stellar panel.

Well, in Washington State politics, Republican challenger Dino Rossi has conceded defeat to incumbent Sen Patty Murray.  She will now be going back to D.C. for her fourth term as one of our two female Senators.

[Ginny]

Our household is looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning.  Yesterday was pretty stressful and we were all up early again today.  I'm signing off and going to bed to read for a while - 'night!

[Jane]

Has anyone besides Jennifer read the Jo Nesbo's books?  Our library recently got in the fourth of his books to be translated, THE REDEEMER, and I'm only 3rd in line on the wait list.

Well I haven't read them. In fact I've never heard of Jo Nesbo.

I thought you read REDBREAST after reading the Millennium series.

[Jane]

Has anybody seen the movie THE LAST SONG?  I had no idea what it was about (had not read the book). And surprisingly (in a good way) the dvd jacket did not give away the plot.

I was surprised. But I realy liked it a lot.

Nope.

[TCB]

G'night!

[bk]

I shall shortly be on my way to the Gardenia.

[bk]

I really don't want to eat there, but I also don't really want another late-night dinner after the show - I'm too tired.

[vixmom]

I bought my baseball ticket

[vixmom]

I am sad Jose will not be able to join us

Knee Vibes to Elmore and Cilla's friend's mom  (or is iit Cilla's Mom's friend?)

[vixmom]

JMK I love your views--- is my guest suite nearly ready?

[vixmom]

I am glad to hear that the Gardenia show went well

[Cillaliz]

Knee Vibes to Elmore and Cilla's friend's mom  (or is iit Cilla's Mom's friend?)

Both, and thank you

[vixmom]

Broadway It Gets Better

thank you

[Cillaliz]

If anyone asks me what I'm thinking about tomorrow evening, I'll have to say Jews and Baseball.   Don't think I'll explain, tee hee.

[Cillaliz]

OMG! A friend of mine, who I don't think I've ever heard swear just used  the F er bomb as a play in Scrabble.   I almost fell off my chair laughing.  She did get a lot of points for it

[JMK]

The Broadway station on XM had the revival cast of Sweet Charity on tonight, which I've never heard before.  Loved the orchestrations, thought Applegate was OK, but was obviously trying to channel Verdon.  Didn't like O'Hare, at least in his affected voice.  When he belted, he was great.  But where oh where did "A Good Impression" come from?  Was it a Coleman/Fields trunk song?

[Edisaurus]

I bought my baseball ticket

Hooray!!!

And I bought a little something to send to George! :-)

Even without Ms. C, the fam enjoyed PROMISES, PROMISES. I liked Sean Hayes, very fun. We came in with no preconceived notions about what the show should be; I truly knew nothing about it. Naz recognized that it was a musical version of THE APARTMENT. But we were all pretty unfamiliar with the songs, other than "She Likes Basketball", "Turkey Lurkey" and the title song. But the pop songs that were added really did not seem to fit organically. Even if I hadn't read about it here I would have thought that.

I was surprised that Sean Hayes had a nice singing voice. And I think the folks enjoyed in more than PeeWee. My mom loves PeeWee but Naz is from Lebanon and I think the 50's kids TV references probably went past him. Plus, the freezing temps of the PeeWee show were pretty awful.

Hooray!

I don't know if anyone has seen it, but a no-name snarky young critic panned us in the Times. We are going to get back at him by making the film a success!

Good review in Time Out, though! And The Village Voice was so-so...

[Edisaurus]

I am a Facebook neophyte--can some of you tell me if you got the invitation to BK's "event" in Portland?  Thanks.

I got it! Wish I could go!
