"Ge" in chemistry is germanium.
" lignite" is brown coal.

BK, in today's notes you wrote, "If we go ahead and release it ["Deceit"] for DVD, we’ll encode it for widescreen TVs."  

Here's a question for you:  Why wouldn't you release it on DVD, especially if you're going through all the trouble of adding in shots and sweetening the sound and all that?  It'd be a shame it you did all that work and didn't share it with the world (for an appropriate price, of course ;)).  Just my opinion. :)

I'm very excited about the (possible) DVD release.  I know theater is "an experience," but I still love watching videos and DVDs of live performances.

Good morning, all!  I forgot to set the alarm this morning, and I overslept.  I've got to hie myself to Toyland, the bank, and a few other delightful spots before I return today.

From what I've seen, the reviews to LESTAT were not great, better than DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES and DRACULA, however.  I believe the show will settle in for a run, and our DR Jose will be happily employed for some time.  I saw the Maury Yeston TITANIC the day after it opened to poor-but-better-than-the-show-deserved reviews, and the cast gave gave performances of their lives as if to flaunt the critics.  I had a better time than I expected, and I love the score.  Alas, I still believe the show's a disaster of construction and owes its succes to the Cameron film at the same time.

DR Cillaliz, that 9-disc set of great operettas is wonderful, although the chorus sounds quite characterless in a pop 60s sort of attitude.  Most of the soloists are excellent. and the orchestrations are half original and haf state-of-the-art 60s work by Henri Rene.  The BABES excerpts, particularly "Barney O'Flynn" are wonderful.  I've had myset since it was released around 1962, and I've hoped for years that the complete set would be released on CD.

TOD:  Maybe later?

I better run, I know it's going to be chaos at work today. One of our secretaries has been sick and I can't get her to go home.  I refuse to catch this again from someone at the office. She has enough sick leave to stay home for 2 months, but can I get her to go when she's really sick....no. Yesterday the lawyer she's assigned to had a FIT when I told him I wanted her to stay home until she got well. He claimed to have deadlines today, but there aren't any on his calendar....so this will be interesting. If she's not here, there will be a temp, but I can't wait to find out what he thinks is so important that we should all be exposed to being sick.

In honor of "sort of" - one of my favorite qualifiers, BTW, along with "sorta" - being the title of the notes for the day, here's A SORTA FAIRYTALE, by Tori Amos (not to be confused with Tori Spelling, who is sorta different):

Written by Tori Amos

on my way up north
up on the Ventura
I pulled back the hood
and I was talking to you
and I knew then it would be
a Life Long thing
but I didn't know that we
We could break a silver lining
And I'm so sad
like a good book
I can't put this
Day Back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you
things you said that day
up on the 101
the girl had come undone
I tried to downplay it
with a bet about us
You said that-
You'd take it
as long as I could
I could not erase it
And I'm so sad
like a good book
I can't put this
Day Back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you
and I ride along side
and I rode along side
You then
and I rode along side
till you lost me there
in the open road
And I rode along side
till the honey spread
itself so thin
for me to break your bread
for me to take your word
I had to steal it
And I'm so sad
like a good book
I can't put this
Day Back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you
I could pick back up
whenever I feel


down New Mexico way
something about
the open road
I knew that he was
looking for some Indian Blood and
find a little in you find a little
in me we may be
on this road but
We're just
Imposters
in this country you know
So we go along and we said
we'd fake it
feel better with
Oliver Stone
till I
almost smacked him -
seemed right that night and
I don't know what
takes hold
out there in the
Desert cold
These guys think they must
Try and just get over on us


And I'm so sad
like a good book
I can't put this
Day Back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you
and I was ridin' by
ridin' along side
for a while till you lost me
and I was ridin' by
ridin' along till you lost me
till you lost
me in
The Rear
View
you lost me
I said
way up North I took my day
all in all was a pretty nice
day and I put the Hood
right back where
You could taste heaven
perfectly
Feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd be back
And I I don't
didn't think
We'd end up like
like this

Post by: S. Woody White on April 26, 2006, 06:12:25 AM
Oops!  We
(almost)
Did It Again!

What I had been planning on yesterday, after an early shift at work, was to pass my free afternoon by doing laundry, catching up on the doings here and elsewhere on the 'net, and generally relaxing.  It didn't happen.

Der Brucer had recieved a call: there was another puppy that needed rescuing, another black Lab mix that had been dropped off at some dump and needed caring for until a good home could be found.  So we loaded Angie into the car, and off through Sussex County we drove.

The little girl, maybe six weeks old, was being cared for by a family living in a trailer.  Our first intent was to get pictures of Black Betty, as they had dubbed her, for posting on the 'net.  Der B got a few good pics, including a couple of me holding her.  Then Mister Great Ideas (not me, the photographer) suggests that we take her with us.  "The Humane Society of Delaware is holding a Dog Walk on the Boardwalk this Saturday.  We can show her off there, and hopefull find a good home for her."  

Well, the man of the family conferred with his mom, and they agreed that this was a good idea.  They handed us some of the toys that Betty liked to play with (including a frog that played "Easter Parade" when squeezed), and we took Angie and Betty back to our car.  

As usual, when traveling with a dog new to the car, I sat in back, just in case Betty needed comforting.  Betty had other ideas.  She somehow managed to use Angie as a stepladder, and climbed up onto the ledge under the rear window, where she was very happy to ride!

Instead of our going directly home, Der Brucer decided to first drive us to the home of Diane, one of the women with Sussex County Animal Rescue, for a brief conference.  Then we went to the Wash-N-Wag, where Betty got her nails clipped and ears cleaned.  (The women there also did the same for Angie, who is growing like a weed.)  Finally, we headed for home.

Talk about everyone paying attention!  Normally, when I get in the door, everyone wants their doggy biscuits.  Not this time!  Everyone wanted to meet the new puppy, instead!  Fletcher instantly went into DaddyDog mode.  Interestlingly, so did Marty, and he's usually stand-offish.  The others were also curious about this newcomer.  And Betty held her own with all of them, giving little barks and licking noses.

The bad news was, there was a phone call from the fellow who had handed Betty over to us.  His wife had returned home from work, and was heartbroken to learn that Betty was gone.  His mother, realizing how much daughter-in-law loved the pup, had then agreed to letting the couple keep the dog.  Could we bring her back?

We got back in the car.

Betty will be in good hands.  The husband may not be "the sharpest crayon in the box," as der B phrased it, but he didn't strike me as an uncaring sort.  They have two adult dogs already, a Bloodhound and a Golden Retriever, who looked well cared for, and the yard is well fenced.

After we left, der B drove us to see Janet, the woman who had connected us with Angie in the first place.  She was thrilled to see Angie again, a true animal lover, and agreed with der B that we should take Buddy, a full-grown (but still young) black Lab that she's fostering, with us on the Dog Walk.  Buddy and Angie got along just fine.

And so the sun set on my afternoon off.  I didn't get any laundry done.  We didn't add a seventh dog to the household.

Not the greatest ending to a story, I suppose, but satisfying all the same.

Rain is in the forecast for today, but when I got up to get the newspaper, it couldn't have been more beautiful outside. However, in the past half hour, clouds have moved in, and it does indeed look ;ike we're in for a drenching.

It's OK. I've exercised already and will be sitting inside watching things recorded last night and (hopefully) one of the musicals from the Warner/MGM musical box before the day is through.

The phone lines for IDOL last night were really funny. Katharine's line was the only one not consistently busy during the three different times I called all the numbers. Paris didn't have the busy signals that she's had the last few weeks, and since she was in the bottom three last week WITH busy signals on the exchange here, I'm thinking she may be the one in the most trouble tonight.

I've been going back and forth in my mind about which musical from the Warner/MGM box I'm going to watch first. I've narrowed it down to SUMMER STOCK and IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER. I've seen both on remastered laserdiscs within the last few months, but I'm probably leaning toward FAIR WEATHER since it is in 2.55:1 Cinemascope and should look wonderful in an anamorphic transfer. I understand that the two outtakes which were on the laserdisc - Michael Kidd's "Jack and the Space Giants" and the Kelly-Charisse duet "Love Is Nothing but a Racket" - have been carried over to the DVD. Wise decision.

MattH, Regarding MEDIUM, yes it has galled me for the last 6-7 episodes now, that no matter how many times she has saved lives, bailed the District Attorney —who I like to call Señor Exposition since he speaks almost entirely in expository fashion—out, they still doubt her all the time. At what point wouldn't they just be like, "Okay Allison, whatever you say. Sounds crazy, but let's check it out." Even her husband still doubts her.

Last night's "Idol":

I think the judges were dead-on correct in their assessments of the performances.

They've been told time and again that they should never pick a song sung by a power vocalist like Celine Dion or Whitney Houston if they aren't going to bring a new twist on the song.  Katharine suffered by comparison with every note...it does not matter how well anyone thought she sang it.  

Paris had a really good thing going with her rendition of "The Way We Were" -- I remember thinking she might just pull off the performance of the night because she had this Gladys Knight-sounding rendition going on....and then she totally messed it up.  Sang some unintelligble lyrics.  Showing off and falling way short.

Taylor.  Gimme a break.  He'll never get what he deserves, and that's a bottom-three appearance.  His rabid fans will carry him to the final two, IMO, but he should have gone weeks ago.

Kellie -- go home, chile!  Go home!  Still, I fear Paris will go before Kellie because Kellie, too, has this enormous fan base that forgives way too much.  I think she mangled some lyrics...again.  And there was a phrasing glitch at the end that was nearly like what she did last week.

Chris -- not bad at all.  I'm still tired of his shouting tendencies when he sings, but it was "good"...very, very good.

Elliot -- I'm with Randy...the arrangement was terrible, but Elliot proved himself the most vocally talented contestant...EVER.  I was nearly as moved as Paula was.  Actually, the song was brilliant up to the point where he removed the microphone from the stand.  At that point, I wondered how much better it could get.  But it didn't get there because the arrangement didn't go there.  Doesn't matter.  It was "da bomb"!

Going home tonight:  Paris.

Bottom three:  Paris, Kellie, Katharine.

Is there a 60s flop play that you think should be given a second chance?

Yes - Peter Barnes' Time of the Barracudas, which, to my knowledge, only played a couple of out-of-town engagements before folding.  A wonderful black comedy that starred Elaine Stritch and Laurence Harvey.  It went through a change of directors, and they closed it because Miss Stritch was out of control (I reminded her of the play when I worked with her, and it jogged her memory and she eventually put it in her one-woman show).

Tomovoz  I menat to say how wonderfully exotic it seems to have kangeroos and parrots in your yard!!

The most exciting thing that wanders into our yard is the odd possum or raccoon.  We do have several grey fluffy tailed squirrels that are regulars


Kangaroos, to Australians, are pretty much like rats to us...or so I've been told by other Aussies.

The "odd possum or raccoon" sounds pretty Dogpatch for a place like Long Island.

Paris didn't have the busy signals that she's had the last few weeks, and since she was in the bottom three last week WITH busy signals on the exchange here, I'm thinking she may be the one in the most trouble tonight.

BK, in today's notes you wrote, "If we go ahead and release it ["Deceit"] for DVD, we’ll encode it for widescreen TVs."  

Here's a question for you:  Why wouldn't you release it on DVD, especially if you're going through all the trouble of adding in shots and sweetening the sound and all that?  It'd be a shame it you did all that work and didn't share it with the world (for an appropriate price, of course ;)).  Just my opinion. :)

I'm very excited about the (possible) DVD release.  I know theater is "an experience," but I still love watching videos and DVDs of live performances.

sometimes watching a DVD is better for me because I can adjust the volume...

I do look forward to seeing it also....

Well, I spent a nice portion of the early afternoon with the DVD of IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER.

The good news is that the film looks sharp and the Eastmancolor looks pretty good. Not dense saturation, but it's all right. The Dolby 5.1 is comparable to the laserdisc's sound.

But I think they stinted on the aspect ratio. It doesn't look like 2.55:1 to me. In the two numbers where the three male dancers are side-by-side (particularly "Once Upon a Time'), the framing looks very cramped especially on the side with Dan Dailey. I think perhaps this is 2.40:1 instead of the widest aspect ratio.

The single laserdisc of FAIR WEATHER was never framed properly, but when the disc was remastered for the Gene Kelly laserdisc boxed set, that's the first time that everything seemed right with this film on video. I didn't take it out to do a comparison this afternoon, but that's certainly going to happen soon. I want to be able to say definitively that Warners didn't frame this correctly.

SAN FRANCISCO (April 25) - Believing they had a botched burglary on their hands, police in Hayward, California, called to a house instead found a naked man wedged in its chimney, a police officer said Monday.


"He didn't have a stitch on," Lt. Gary Branson of the Hayward Police Department said, referring to Michael Urbano.


The 23-year-old man came home early Saturday morning and, finding himself locked out and without his keys, tried to enter the single-story house through its chimney.


"He told us he took off his clothes because as he was going down the chimney the clothes would rub up against it and slow him down," Branson said. "If it was skin on cement he felt he would go down easier."


Urbano's effort ended disastrously when a cable-television wire he used to lower himself snapped. He fell and was wedged in a section of the chimney tapering into the home's fireplace.


For the next four hours he cried out for help. A neighbor called police and fire fighters, who dislodged Urbano, Branson said.

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (April 25) - A woman pleaded guilty to fraud and other charges in what a prosecutor said was his first case in which a defendant stole an entire house.


Wendy Jean-Francois, 44, of Morrisville, pleaded guilty Monday in Bucks County Court to multiple counts of fraud, forgery and related charges.


Prosecutors said Jean-Francois sat down Oct. 5 at a settlement table at Rainbow Assurance, a mortgage title firm in Falls, with 97 cents in her bank account.


But she used two checks totaling $63,000 and a letter vouching for them, purportedly from a Wachovia Bank manager, and left with the keys to a $328,000 home, prosecutors said.


The checks turned out to be counterfeit and the letter forged, said David Zellis, first assistant district attorney. "This just boggles the mind," he said. Bucks County Judge Kenneth Biehn deferred Jean-Francois' sentencing for a mental health evaluation.

I thought some of Theatermania critic Peter Filichia's comments on LESTAT were sorta kinda worth repeating here.  And Peter Filichia is not always the kinda gentler critic he was fifteen to twenty years ago.  (Ask anyone involved with CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, for example.)  Here's some of his review: 

 
"It's the best damned vampire musical Broadway has seen in years. Granted, that's not saying much for Lestat, considering that Broadway's most recent vampire musicals -- Dance of the Vampires (2002) and Dracula: The Musical (2004) -- were atrocities. But the reports of Lestat's death from West Coast critics and New York preview audiences have been greatly exaggerated. The new musical at the Palace is certainly not a great show, but it's occasionally a good one. Based on the vampire chronicles of Anne Rice, it has music by Elton John, lyrics by Bernie Taupin, and a book by Linda Woolverton."

No kangaroos on the property - just their smaller cousins the wallabies visit.  There are kangaroos in the area though. If not - I blame Jose.  He did get up close and personal with them when he visited.

Just back from the DR. (that's doctor, not dear reader).  Its seems I am (or have been for a while) at least 33% over what the charts say my proper weight should be.  Not sure if 33% is any sort of benchmark (I think 25% marks one as "obese" and I guess I sort of kind of knew that).  

I was a little surprised that they took blood for the blood work without any fasting period beforehand (I told the doctor that I had eaten just three hours earlier and he said that's no problem) - is this a relatively new way of doing such things?  I remember that the labs used to ask you to have the blood drawn before you ate anything for the day for routine bloodwork.

Just finished seven pages and the dreaded monologue, which came out pretty well, I think.  Unlike Deceit's monologue, this one's only a page-and-a-half.  I went back and fixed a few things from yesterday's work to, and am now at page eighty, and the last ten pages or so of the play.  Deceit ran a scant fifty-nine pages in Final Draft (which translated to a seventy-seven minute show) - so, this seems a bit more full-length, page-wise and probably time wise.  And I'll probably still go back and make some additions when I'm finished.  If it comes in between ninety and ninety-five pages, I'll be very happy.

When I googled "Gorilla My Dreams" (at least my fingers are getting exercise), this is what came up:


I asped the elephant in the elevator
Where you had gone, he said you were boozing round with the bees
When I had the bucks my dear, you were so fawn
Now my doe is gone and you're so colt to me
Camels in the zoo singing one hump or two
But I can't bear to see them no cow
I feel the loss a lot, I miss you an ocelot
I wonder who's kitten you now
My llama mama what's gnu with you
With your cat's pyjamas and his cockatoo
I'm hippo what toucan do
You sealed your fate with him

Chorus:
Gorilla my dreams
you're a cheetah is seems
fly are you lion to me
you otter be sad losing me
(for goodness snakes)

I toad you donkey me waitin', why you hesitatin'
I'll pig you up at ape, iguana bison rings and meat you at your front boar
You mustang gone in his big black carp when he gibbon you that new mink cape

There's no depenguin on you that's for sure (sheep skate)
You played me for a sucker, at leech they said,
I was sow gull-a-bull
Ain't no mousetake you snake I'll make you egret you treated me so cruel
Gonna grab my cat, gonna grab my goat
Gonna ram you worms right down your throat

              ***HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR JENNIFER!***


I've been E&T revising my script according to the Notes I got from the director, producers et al.. I was told the the Notes wouldn't be major - but I've heard that one too often to believe it. This time it was true. Hooray! Very straightforward. No structural notes at all. Again - Hooray! I was asked to cut a few scenes. But these cuts didn't affect the structure. So, other than my back killing me after spending hours at my desk, it was pretty painless.
If this goes forward as planned next month (I've been in the business far too long to take ANYTHING for granted) - then I will have fulfilled my lifelong dream of writing a 1940's style movie about the families left behind in small-town America during the war years. -- With the added bonus of TAP DANCING. Yes, tap dancing. What could be more fun? The great part about writing is you get to play all the roles. Just call me Maria Miller. Or Panni Powell.

Less than two hundred postings to go until our new major plateau of 200,000 posts.  It will probably happen tomorrow, so if it does we have to decide whether our partay is tomorrow right when it happens, or whether we make it an "official" partay on Friday.  Thoughts?

Friday sounds good.  We will, of course, take note at the actual occurance, but we can certainly have a partay when it's more convenient. :)

Matt H- Scarborough Country is doing a story of the rigging of votes on American Idol.  Apparently the government won't investigate because they say it isn't a fair competition. It isn't a contest,  it's entertainment. More like professional wrestling.

Apparently in a 16,000 population town there were 20,000 text messages for Kelly last night. The phone company there isn't charging money for people to text in votes for Kelly

JFL we still fast for our blood work.
Title: Re:SORT OF
Post by: FJL on April 26, 2006, 06:48:40 PM
Jane - I thought so.  But my doctor said fasting wasn't necessary for some reason.  He says as long as he knows when I last ate, he can interpret the results accordingly.  (One problem he mentioned is that if he tells people to come back having fasted, they somehow don't always do the follow-up visit to get the blood taken, though.  I'm paraphrasing incoherently, but I saw his point to some extent.)

Yeah. They started the chain for people who have to go somewhere on business for long periods of time, so they have a place to cook food instead of going out and a place to sit besides the one side chair or the bed.  I went there when I was prepping for a murder trial and wanted to be unreachable with all my files and reports for a few days.  It was great.

They came and said we're gonna go to series with this, and I said, oh I don't want to work that hard.  That's too much.  And then David Gerber the producer said the magic word.  He asked: "How would you like to be a household name?"  And of course.....how could I resist that?

108 flubs of lyrics by Reba McIntire in South Pacific, for example.

This reminds me of the parody lyrics "Another Hundred Lyrics (Just Flew Out Of My Brain)," by Lauren Mayer (sung to the melody of "Another Hundred People" from Company) that was first performed in "In Praise of Sondheim" in San Francisco, April 29, 1990:

Another hundred lyrics just flew out of my brain
As I stand here on stage
With another hundred lyrics that I'll never recall
And on every damn page
There's another hundred lyrics that'll drive me insane
Right in front of you all, cause the words are a pain
Not to mention the sprawl of the melody.

But we're all singing Sondheim;
Some songs are sweet; some are strange.
We're all singing Sondheim;
There's not one tune in my range
And every song is too damn long.

So we try to follow the internal rhymes
And infernal counts
With the tricky meter and the picky words
In absurd amounts.
And we lose our places where the phrases change
With a rhythmic flounce.
Now I think I've got it and this part's a breeze
But you never know.
Will the tempo switch or will we change the key
'Cause something has to go.

Did you find my measure, 'cause I looked in vain
And another modulation to increase the strain.
Look, I'll learn it by tomorrow
If I do not go insane!
And another hundred lyrics just flew out of my brain!

But we're all singing Sondheim;
Some words are weird; some are quick.
We're all singing Sondheim;
And when the rhymes get this thick
It's hard for me to parody.

But I'll try to follow the internal rhymes
And infernal counts
With the tricky meter and the picky words
In absurd amounts.
At a speed like this you'll miss the syllables
That I can't pronounce.
Now I think I had it 'cause this part's a breeze
But you never know,
'Cause he switched the tempo and he changed the key,
Well, something had to go.

Did you find my measure, 'cause I looked in vain
And another modulation to increase the pain.
I could learn it by tomorrow, but I'll prob'ly be insane!

And another hundred lyrics just flew out of my brain.
And another hundred lyrics just flew out of my brain.
And another hundred lyrics just flew out of my brain.
And another hundred lyrics just flew out of my brain.

JRand - Does the last sentence of this excerpt from Ken Mandelbaum's column answer your PAJAMA GAME question?



From Broadway.com:

"In the last few weeks, New York has seen new incarnations of three celebrated '50s musicals. The big deal was, of course, Roundabout's The Pajama Game, and I'm glad to note that it's a success, simply because one never likes to see a first-rate golden-age musical comedy return as a failure.

But unlike many observers who have deemed this production sensational, I found the new Pajama Game satisfactory but unremarkable. True, it makes a better case for the show than did the last two local incarnations, the New York City Opera and Encores! versions. And that's even with Peter Ackerman's book revisions, which substantially alter the characters of Hasler, Prez, and Mae and eliminate such items as Hines' opening monologue and the "Jealousy" ballet."

Thanks for all the birthday wishes.

Dinner was good. But when we got there the restaurant was pretty dark (not too fond of this).  But after half an hour they made it even darker (which made the first dark look good).  The poor baby was confused!

The funny thing was watching the baby. She is only 7 months old and i doubt she understands that much. But she was eavesdropping and staring at two men sitting at a booth table behind us.  My mom was saying to her (the baby), "hey baby THIS is your table". Too funny.

And for DR Laura, the cake was chocolaty but very sweet. It was square and not much actual cake. But just basically 5 layers of mousse and icing type stuff. Very sweet and fancy. Sorry, no pics were taken.

It was interesting to see who the top two singers were. I am very surprised at the female, since she got criticized heavily. For her to finish top two with those comments makes me think she could go far.

It was interesting to see who the top two singers were. I am very surprised at the female, since she got criticized heavily. For her to finish top two with those comments makes me think she could go far.

I was very disappointed with the loser. I was hoping the other bottom 2 person was going. I really hate it when someone leaves without ever having been in the bottom. :(

I was not surprised by the outcome necessarily as this person was the weakest singer left in the competition. But I agree with you that the other person in the group is less a favorite of mine and I wouldn't have minded that elimination before the one who was sent packing.

I got home at 9pm, so watched IDOL. Then after watched TAR on tape.

I thought it was a really good episode.

Although a team who I had previously liked, REALLY annoyed me.  Mojo.
I didn't like how mean they were to the hippies, or in general.

I feel bad that the losing team lost. WAsn't thrilled with ray/yolanda, fran/barry or mojo.

Right now i like the hippies and frats. I think the frats have consistently done the best. I loved that they beat mojo to the mat.  I do like the hippies, and hope they can yield mojo. But i think the hippies need to improve and do better (like they had been doing) for me to think they should win.

How is your DD?

Thanks for asking, Cila. She's having the procedure done a 11AM Budapest time tomorrow. That's around 2 AM my time. I told her boyfriend to call me as soon as she is in the recovery room. Obviously, I won't be sleeping tonight. It's not a major procedure, by any means. But any time you have to be put under, etc. etc...  I looked up the doctor on the internet and he seems very well qualified. I saw his speeches quoted in conferences in Washington and other places.

I had ribs for dinner. But i actually left most of them over (since they are great as leftovers). They give too much food. And with the coleslaw, fries and cake (and appetizer of nachos and spinach dip), I decided to leave the ribs for lunch tomorrow (i left over 80% of them).

I wish i knew what they called this fancy cake. Maybe they will have the name on their website.

I then put in SUMMER STOCK and watched the documentary on it. It, too, was enhanced for widescreen TVs even though the feature film, of course, was shot in Academy ratio.

The documentary was again a nice little introduction to the film for those not already familiar with the lore behind it, but for a real fan, the documentary just skimmed the surface. There's a very bland female narrator also who keeps things VERY low key.

JRand - In case you missed it in all the excitement, and what excitement it was, does the following (last sentence below) from Broadway.com answer your PAJAMA GAME question?


"In the last few weeks, New York has seen new incarnations of three celebrated '50s musicals. The big deal was, of course, Roundabout's The Pajama Game, and I'm glad to note that it's a success, simply because one never likes to see a first-rate golden-age musical comedy return as a failure.

But unlike many observers who have deemed this production sensational, I found the new Pajama Game satisfactory but unremarkable. True, it makes a better case for the show than did the last two local incarnations, the New York City Opera and Encores! versions. And that's even with Peter Ackerman's book revisions, which substantially alter the characters of Hasler, Prez, and Mae and eliminate such items as Hines' opening monologue and the "Jealousy" ballet."

SUMMER STOCK looked excellent on the DVD. It wasn't done in Ultra-resolution, but the Technicolor certainly looks rich.

certainly made seeing Bradley Cooper as Will Tippet like old home week. Always loved him, and I wish he could be a part of all the remaining episodes. Looks like that's not going to happen, but it was great to see him again. Some nice action, but the show has certainly gone into a sci-fi fantasyland of impossible scientific experimentation.

I don't necessarily think i would be best friends with the frat boys.  But they are fun to watch and very funny.  But to me to want a team to win, they have to be the best, and not be outrageously obnoxious (like the yeller dentist guy).

I think the frats are the best team and have proven it over and over.

I used to think ray and yolanda were okay. But they really annoyed me the past couple of weeks.

And i never cared for the losing team.  Yah they sort of made me teary when they did well last week. But they made so many mistakes. And they were really rude to a couple of teams (week after week).

Re: fran and barry.  It's hard for the older teams to keep up.  But really to win this you have to be much better than they were. Watch when the teams start out even (after a flight ...). The frats can always come out first still. Yet fran and barry would always come last.

I don't want an undeserving team to win.

I enjoyed the LOST retrospective. A few early scenes came from the end of Season 1, of course, and though I had seen everything that was shown, it's easy with so many characters and events to forget some of the things that happened earlier in the season. This did bring them back into a clear focus.

Well you and DR MBarnum must be twins separated at birth.

Actually even though i don't think the same way you guys do I really disagree that the frats aren't nice.  They are pretty friendly, and fun and funny. They might be a tad aggressive and annoying. But I think they have a goal (to win).

I find that the way mojo was acting tonight was much more mean spirited. See the way they acted vs the good naturedness of the hippies tells me a lot.

Also, if you want nice teams, fran and barry were pretty rude to a few teams.  They did not help one team to the finish (when they were already there). They were obnoxious to other teams at the airport.

To me the nicest team is bj/tyler. Very good natured and kind.

Agreed that the hippies are the nicest. mojo was being disgusting tonight, but the frats were just as rude about the hippies as mojo were.  Fran and Barry immediately ran out and gave money to the Hippies, so did Ray and Yolanda.  The frats left an IOU $100 at the end of the race.  They had a temper tantrum every time they didn't come in first. They annoy the snot out of me.

I have guests coming in from Texas this weekend and I have the Vixter's 13th birthday party in the backyard on Saturday.  the plan for this past weekend was to clean out the guestroom, empty the closet, clean out the drawers, wash the sheets and curtains.. etc etc and to get some flowers planted in the yard.  Instead the whole two days were filled with  rain and the removal of same, and the storms left branches all over the yard so it is a real mess.  So I decided to take tomorrow and Friday off from work and get everything done.  Also the Vixter will be singing with her Chamber Choir in the Chamber Music Concert, a joint venture betweenthe high school and middle school "chamber choirs", "chamber orchestras" and "select bands" tomorrow night.   I have to drive into JFK to pick up my guest by 4:30 PM.  Expect me to be E & T until probably Monday as I will never get everything done if I turn on this here machine.

Alias continues its wretchedness, apparently all the way to the finale - of course, I've come this far and I'll go the three other episodes, but it's quite pathetic.  I knew they would now bring back every discarded plot point - and so Rambaldi has returned, and it's just all so predictable and stupid.

It is a beautiful movie... It is a Lakota grandfather that takes his grandson to the All Nations powwow in New Mexico for his not on the right path in life. Along the way, he tells stories of different tribes to reflect the troubles his grandson is going through.

Absolutely stunning...

My favorite story is of Starwoman and her seven brothers.

It has basically a Native American cast and one lone white guy.

Can't say that I am.  I've been to a couple of professional games and have enjoyed them and the experience of going, but I'd never sit down and watch a game on TV just for the sake of watching baseball.
