Well, you've read the notes, the notes have both imploded and exploded, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently imploding and exploding at the same time.
-
And the word of the day is: RECUMBENT!
-
It's almost 2 a.m. and I should be in a recumbent position. But I was doing notes on typos, etc. in the production script. Gremlins always seem to get into this stuff. Anyway, the notes have been emailed and I'm going to bed.

Good morning all! Yes, I am on the bus on my way to school with the rest of the kiddies. Sometimes it really feels that way.
I forgot to say "Happy Birthday to Francois! I am so sorry!
So Happy Belated Birthday Wishes to Dear Francois!
I hope both DR TCB and Jennifer are feeling much better. When is your surgery, TCB?
And I love the new avitar, TCB. It's really nice.
Good morning, Michael S! Another early rise and shinner this morning!
-
As some of you know I have been battling some health problems which sometimes explains some of my lengthy absenses. Well I am winning the war.
This picture was taken in the Spring 2005 when I was in NYC for BK's book reading. I was very overweight.
-
Well with diet, exercise and medication since September 2005 I am winning battle and here I am 55 bound lighter.
And more to come.
-
Wow! Wonderful news, DR Michael! You look GREAT!
-
Well we're almost to my stop. Gotta sign off now.
Laters all! Have a wonderful day!
-
Good morning, all! No, I am not awake yet, and it's looking quite gray outside. I would prefer to stay in bed all day.
No trip beyond the apartment today; I've got some Mario Frangoulis work, some choral stuff, and some work on the new Toyland libretto to juggle here.
DRDanise, it's fun sharing your rides to and from school. What a great way to use your travel time!
DR MichaelShayne, fantastic! Good news about the diet and better news about your health.
TOD:
CD: Rebecca Luker "Leaving Home," Susan Egan "Coffee House," Guy Haines, The Bartered Bride. Mozart piano sonatas
DVD: Tristan & Isolde, Oliver Twist (Polaski), Arms and the Man

-
Opening next week, a thriller to shock your senses!
Guy Haines IS The Bartered Bride ;D
-
Michael, congrats on the weight loss and the health news. You had begun the change when we had dinner many months ago at the diner on 42nd Street and 9th Avenue. Glad to see it's progressed so well.

Anthony returns to the city today before he leaves for Virginia. That will be on Sunday morning. We don't have any viewing plans or CD plans and I don't have any CDs at the office right now.

Hello Ben and Larry.
-
For those with long enough memories - This time last year I was in hospital. For a few reasons my view of the world and indeed of life and death have changed somewhat since then. HHW has had a positive effect with its links to so much goodness in this world. Many of us have been helped through some rough times in the knowledge that our friends are there for us.
Thank you Bk for making it all possible.

TOTD: DVD - Washington Square (not to be confused with The Washignton Square Dance)

I just realised the double meaning there. Please yourself about which battered. (I was thinking flour etc!)
-
Good morning DR Jack.
-
Good morning DR TOMovOZ!
-
I exploded last night when I arrived home at 7:30 pm and COMCAST was giving me neither Television OR computer service. Didn't get either until after 3 am....at least that's when I woke up and the modem lights were all blinking.
So...no W/G finale. No loss, I guess....I am only thankful that it didn't happen on Wednesday night!
-
Sound like the busy BK will have no time to be recumbant today - or this weekend.
Call Adam. You don't have anything else to do.
The concert last night sounds wonderful. LOGAN'S RUN....what a great way to open!!!
What was strange about PETER GUNN? Did they play it differently?
-
TOD:
DVD: Hitler's SS - with Miss Carroll Baker, John Shea, Bill Nighy, and Tony Randall tv miniseries that is not TOO bad.
CD: Il DIVO - Ancora
VHS: 1900 & XANADU
The final musical number in XANADU is one berserk mess, but it is a lot of fun to watch (even seeing the used sets from THE WIZ....).
-
Off to work today, hopefully I can check it now and then.
-
Good morning, fellow Dear Readers. Looks like I will be in meetings the next two and a half days. I am quite excited to spend my time in more meetings. Can you tell?
Perhaps I shall shock them all with my latest cd acquisition: Wing Sings Elvis.
-
They were talking on CNN that Cirque du soleil is going to be doing some sort of Elvis Presley-related show. This following the Beatles show that's about to open. I'm wondering if there'll be as much kvetching about jukebox circuses as there has been about jukebox musicals.
-
Media Check for the TOD:
CD:
Sounds of the World: "33 Artists from 28 Countries"

I haven't watched a Bollywood movie in several weeks now and I am beginning to have withdrawals. Hopefully I can fix that this weekend.

-
just a quick hi to my pals on HHW - Michael, you look mahvelous!!! Oz, yes, quite a year - and I agree that life and death look different once you get to know them...
Okay - so off into this wedding weekend. I notice how much more relaxed i have been up at the cabin, all alone with my stream and forest and the little animals... I love being among these family folk... but the hustle and bustle and driving and people and noise and traffic and conversation and appointments and and and... I am looking forward to these wedding events, and looking forward to heading north once again...
-
Good morning!
We had our rain last night, and so today is marvelously beautiful with cloudless blue skies and a nice breeze. Only in the 70s today, but we'll start to see a rise in temperatures tomorrow. I suspect summer is on the way!
-
Congratulations, DR Michael Shayne! Continued good wishes for improvement in health and inlosing more weight or at least maintaining what you've already accomplished.
The VERY hardest thing about losing weight is keeping it off. This is what makes the battle for me so frustrating. I can feel good about myself for awhile, but I know full well if I'm not continuously careful, the weight will come right back. And for someone who enjoys eating as much as I do (and all the wrong things), it's very frustrating.

Ah, yes, my name is finally used in a movie and....I am the bus....

Series finale to "Will and Grace":

I feel your pain! :D

Vixmom - And I thought I had it rough when "Do the Freddy" was a popular song when I was a little kid.
I can just imagine how amused you were over the series finale to "The Golden Girls" when Dorothy (Bea Arthur) and Marcus (Leslie Nielsen) actually named the act of making love.
They named it "Freddy Peterson". Marcus told the other girls about it, which led to a giggle when he asked Dorothy if she were ready to go and she replied, "Ready, Freddy!"

Tomovoz.... I do remember you being inthe hospital last year...I trust all is well since then?

Did anyone else watch the season finale to ER?
I had thought this was to be the last year but I certainly hope they aren't planning on leaving us like that!!
-
In my VCR: Tuesday night's "American Idol" competition, the finale of "Lost" and the series finale to "That 70's Show".
In my CD player: Hilda Crane/Revolt of Mamie Stover, House of Bamboo and "Amazing Stories" Anthology. Vol. 1.

Nope, it's on their schedule for next year. I can't recall any suggestion of this being its last season, actually. But then, I don't follow these things closely.
-
MBarnum... I keep forgetting to tell you that since the Vixter liked Bride & Prejudice so well when we rented it, she requested her own copy as one of her birthday presents.... it is currently in our DVD player along with The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire
She also wanted me to ask you if you had any other suggestions for Bollywood movies that she would enjoy.
-
The ONLY thing I'm looking forward to, TV-wise, is this summer's "Big Brother All-Star" show.
Wowee! I hope for a good mix of evil and good in the house.
-

Last year it was renewed for two more years, so next season is the last on its current contract. Whether it continues after that will involve how much more its ratings erode over another season. It's still NBC's second highest rated show (after DEAL OR NO DEAL), but it's a shadow of the ratings titan it once was.

Did you hear about the new Jewish American Princess porno film?
-It's called Debbie Does Nothing.

DR Michael Shayne, congratulations on achieving Captain Carrot-ism!
(For those of you who remember, Captain Carrot was one of the correspondents on Evening Magazine during the 70s. He was the barefooted, perfect picture of health and reported on such matters.)

Of course, by the time the movie "Freddy Got Fingered" was released, I was old enough to find it amusing. But I pity little kids named Freddy or Freddie who had to deal with that.

Did anyone else watch the season finale to ER?
I had thought this was to be the last year but I certainly hope they aren't planning on leaving us like that!!
Another show I'm totally over! Why anyone would want to go to that ER where major trauma from falling copters to shoot-em-ups happen regularly, not to mention the daily angst among a lot of unhappy people, is amazing.
There have to be safer hospitals in Chicago.
-
Elmore - for the same reason anyone in their right mind would even go within miles of Jessica Fletcher. :)

I've said it before and I'll say it again - there is nothing like this site anywhere on all the Internet and I am proud to be its daddy.
-
There is a wicked lightening storm that just started going on outside with torrential rain....bye for now!
-
Ron - My point being that, just like the ER emergency room, being around Jessica Fletcher made a person (fictional or otherwise) about 1,000,000 times more likely to get killed or accused of killing someone.
(I do agree with Elmore about Lansbury on that TV show vs. Lansbury on the stage, but that's a different point.)

Ohhhhhhhhh....now I'm starting to wake up. I wasn't quite there.
Thanks for the push.
:)
Many of us have never have had an opportunity to see Lansbury on stage. "Murder, She Wrote" (plus a few mostly forgettable movies) are the only means we had of enjoying her.
But I take your word for it...I'm certain her stage appearances beat the socks off her TV work.
-
Actually, I feel a bit like Jennifer described herself last night after a half dose of her pain killer.
My eyes are heavy (allergies, I think) and I'm not as alert as I'd like to be (it's Friday and it's payday, so....).
At any rate...time for some CAFFEINE!
-
my so-called media check
iPod: Dire Straits -- BROTHERS IN ARMS -- one of the absolute best albums of the 80s
Mae West -- WAY OUT WEST -- this is her 60's rock effort--she doesn't sound too bad, either (well, not Mrs Miller bad, anyway...)
Tivo: OLD CHRISTINE and that's about it.
DVD: THAT GIRL Season One
THE PRODUCERS (at least to see the "King of Broadway" number)
A double feature DVD containing THE OVER THE HILL GANG and THE OVER THE HILL GANG RIDES AGAIN, two favorites from ABC's Movie of the Week.

DR RonPulliam, I sympathize completely: the allergies on the East coast appear to be as terrible as those you're going through on the West one.

DR Vixmom is currently getting the storm that we had here in Philly this morning. The rain and the lightning and thunder were incredible. Every time it storms like that, I think of Stephen King's "The Mists".
-
And she's so good in these films:
DORIAN GRAY
GASLIGHT
THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE
THE WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT
Any other excellent film performances?
Two years ago, she did a Hallmark Hall of Fame called THE BLACKWATER LIGHTSHIP. She was wonderful in it.
She was a lot of fun in MURDER ON THE NILE and very touching in DEAR HEART.
And here's something to track down--she did a guest appearance in an episode of THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. (I don't recall that one, even though we watched MRU every week.)
-
Illya Kuryakin--was there ever a cooler character name?
-
And she's so good in these films:
DORIAN GRAY
GASLIGHT
THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE
THE WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT
Any other excellent film performances?
Yes, actually, she IS....but apart from the mostly fun (arguable, I know) "Bedknobs and Broomsticks", Hollywood simply didn't give her great roles after she became a Broadway superstar.
-
Have you been using the White-Out Thinner...or perhaps gluing something?

I do not understand to what you could be referring!

It's so true. Although after "Anyone Can Whistle," I suspect she thought her Broadway career was over as well. I would kill to have seen her and Bert Lahr on Broadway in HOTEL PARADISO, which is one of my favorite Feydeau farces.
-
The storm is over nearly as fast as it came.... it was miserable and rainy when I came to work then suddenly it was bright and beautiful and then the lightening storm came and now it looks like it want to clear up again.....
I feel like I'm in Florida in July (except for the lack of heat!)

My neck felt quite a bit better when i woke up. But that stopped after i got in the car and started driving. Wow, that sure aggravated things.

Friday greetings! My book group had great fun last night comparing ourselves to the group in The Jane Austen Book Club. The hostess had thought about serving gruel :P, but went for cheesecake and strawberries instead ;D

Paul Muni was once in a play with a young lady who was the producer's girlfriend. Every day her part got bigger and every day she proved she couldn't act.
One day, in a bit of camaraderie, she said, "Mr Muni, do you have any acting advice for a young talent like I?"
And he said: "Yes, dear. Remember that you can't screw the audience."

PALM CITY, Fla. - Martin F. Dardis, the chief investigator for the Dade County state attorney who linked the Watergate burglars to President Nixon, has died. He was 83.
Dardis died Tuesday at a Palm City nursing home from a vascular condition, his daughter Erin Dardis told The Associated Press.
Martin Dardis traced money found on the Watergate burglars to the Committee to Re-elect the President. The 1972 discovery led to further misdeeds, which ultimately forced the resignation of Nixon.
"He was always for the underdog," Erin Dardis told the AP. "He did things like help people get out of prison that were wrongly convicted. He would get involved for free and spend his time investigating. He always sought the truth."
In 1972, Dardis was tipped off to a Miami bank's cash connection with the Watergate burglars and subpoenaed its records. He learned that one burglar, Bernard L. Barker, had worked with the CIA during the Bay of Pigs and held an account with a recently deposited $25,000 check from a major Republican fund-raiser.
Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward has called that check the "connective tissue" that linked the burglars to Nixon's re-election campaign, The Miami Herald reported.
Dardis later said he was misrepresented in Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward's book "All The President's Men" the and subsequent movie of the same title, in which he was portrayed by Ned Beatty. He told the Miami Herald last year the movie made him seem like a shabbily dressed "buffoon."
Dardis, a high school dropout who lied about his age to join the Army at 16, was awarded a Bronze Star, two Purple Hearts and Silver Stars for gallantry after rescuing an American pilot in World War II, the Herald reported.
He will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors this summer, his daughter said.

Here is a link to a column talking about the lack of Tony nominations for recreating a role award (it was discussed briefly here earlier in the week). It's Michael Riedel's column from the post. This isn't a link to the Post because you have to register to read the paper on-line. It's a link to a discussion group where someone posted the column.

[/]Maybe it's something in the water[/b]
WALDRON, Ark. - The 72-year-old mayor was arrested this week on charges he sought sex from two women in exchange for preventing their water from being turned off.
One of the women told investigators she had been having sex with Troy Anderson for money for eight to 10 years, according to an affidavit.
She said Anderson paid her $25 per encounter and $60 for a late water deposit. He also allowed her to change the name on her overdue water bill to keep the service running, the affidavit said.
In February, the woman wore a recording device when Anderson picked her up for a sexual encounter, authorities said.
Anderson was released on bond Wednesday. He did not return repeated calls seeking comment.
In January, a second woman with a late water bill wore a recording device when she met the mayor at an apartment to seek his help getting custody of her granddaughter from the state Department of Health and Human Services.
Anderson offered her $100 for sex, grabbed her and exposed himself, the affidavit said.
The mayor was charged with abusing the public trust and patronizing a prostitute. An arraignment was scheduled for July 6.
Waldron is 100 miles west of Little Rock.

Just finished my one and only hour of information waitressing for today and I managed to encounter a girl who only wanted to read about serial killers and a guy, seemingly right out of Deliverance, who wanted books about snipers and firearms.

It's pretty funny that i'm all excited about the new CW's Fall tv schedule. Because I"m sure I won't get the station. We don't get the WB or UPN right now.
Although our local FOX station shows 2 hours of WB programming every night from 10pm-midnight. So i'm just praying that they continue with the new CW shows.
Somehow I don't think my sis would be too happy having to tape Veronica Mars, America's Next Top Model, Gilmore Girls and the other WB shows each week! :)
Btw, yeah for me. I managed not to find out the winner of America's Next Top model before finally watching the finale! It always happens that whenever you haven't watched something they show the winner everywhere you look.

Well...I am intrigued, so I am finally going to ask the all-knowing mavens here at HHW.
What the hell is The Drowsy Chaperone about? What is the music like? What IS it?

Off to a meeting at the United Way and then - home, a little early ;D
Bye for now!

Well with diet, exercise and medication since September 2005 I am winning battle and here I am 55 bound lighter.
And more to come.
CONGRATULATIONS!! A few weeks ago, I started NutriSystem to lose some weight and so far have lost seven pounds. I still have a very long way to go. You are an inspiration for me!

I just made up some dialogue for a backstage musical:
Producer's Girlfriend: Could you change the key of my song?
Songwriter (muttering at piano): Honey, if I could I'd change the locks.
Funny!

And he said: "Yes, dear. Remember that you can't screw the audience."
A trip down memory lane.... Back in the Ice Age when I was in Theater School in Canada, that was virtually our motto. We'd say it to each other constantly.

Just got my tickets to see Lestat on the 28th at 3.... I hope the principals won't be taking the Memorial Day weekend off!!
Of course as long as we are treated to the glorious keyboard playing talents of DR JoseSPiano all will be well!!

That goes without saying. :P
Thanks for the link, DR VIXMOM and the file DRELMORE. ;D

Just got a call from the Music Center, where they'll be doing Kander and Ebb's Curtains, the musical that got resurrected two weeks after Writer's Block came out. My pal Rupert Holmes has done a new book for it. They've asked me to create a music bed for their radio spots - not much dough, but I get free opening night tix, and I like everyone down there, so I said okay. Grant Geissman will be helping put it together, and I'll be doing the arrangement of the music - none of which will be from Curtains.
-
MBarnum... I keep forgetting to tell you that since the Vixter liked Bride & Prejudice so well when we rented it, she requested her own copy as one of her birthday presents.... it is currently in our DVD player along with The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire
She also wanted me to ask you if you had any other suggestions for Bollywood movies that she would enjoy.
I will try to think of some...there are plenty that a girl her age would love....but most are in Hindi rather then in English. LOL! (Bride and Prejudice was only a semi-Bollywood movie).
If the Vixter does not mind subtitles then I have many suggestions for her....otherwise I will need to do some research on the topic.

Yesterday Cilliliz said in reference to:"Priscilla, Queen of the Desert"
Ah, yes, my name is finally used in a movie and....I am the bus....
Could be worse, try being a teenage girl called "Debby" in the 1970's when a certain risque film set in a certain Texas city suddenly went mainstream!
:P
At least now, it's legitimate! It's become a musical (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00007MB7Y/qid=1148063655/sr=11-1/ref=sr_11_1/002-7701208-5864855?n=5174)! ;D

Good morning all! Yes, I am on the bus on my way to school with the rest of the kiddies. Sometimes it really feels that way.
I forgot to say "Happy Birthday to Francois! I am so sorry!
So Happy Belated Birthday Wishes to Dear Francois!
Thank you very much Danise, but no need to feel sorry because my Bday really is TODAY! It's today, Mame! Yep, May 19th!
And that's how young I feel! :D
I haven't had cake yet because I live alone and my family is far away and... long ago! ??? And it's no fun having cake all alone...
I'll go and see my family next week, you know.... all those nephews and nieces and sister who don't even send a greeting card!
Oh well! So is life! :-\
Hope things improve soon for your mother, Danise!

Who said he had MY BROTHER NIKHIL and hadn't watched it?
Actually, as of today, there will be two DRs who have this movie to watch! Only she probably doesn't know it yet!

In my DVD player: several DVDs that I've gotten recently, but can't remember what they are. ::)
In my VCR: last night's "Will & Grace" retrospective and final episode (I did watch the last 20 minutes or so).
In my CD player (I went a little crazy over the last couple of weeks :)): Patti's "The Lady With the Torch," Julia Murney's "I'm Not Waiting," Maria Friedman's "Now and Then," Martin Charnin's Upstairs at O'Neils', the live concert cast recording South Pacific with Reba and Stokes, the newly remastered original Broadway cast recording of Sail Away from DRG, the 25th anniversary cast recording of Her First Roman, "The 25th anniversary edition of the hit musical revue" Pins and Needles with Babs, Kean with Alfred Drake (but I have to return it, it's scratched :P), the "Harry on Broadway" 2-CD set of The Pajama Game and "Songs from Thou Shalt Not" with Harry and Kelli O'Hara, and my final selection, the original cast recording of There's No Place Like Hollywood on Ducy Lee Recordings (I just got this one last night).
I got a lotta lis'ning to do! (almost a Bye Bye Birdie reference ;))

My friend Adam just called from LA. He is driving on Rodeo Drive. A friend has a CD Release Party tonight and he may have a gig lined up on Sunday evening.....
But the MOST important thing he is going to do is still tentative! 8)

I just realised the double meaning there. Please yourself about which battered. (I was thinking flour etc!)
2nd flour? 4th flour?
Can't you tell I work in a hotel?

Just lost one of my leading players - strep throat, or so I'm told. I don't really know what to do about it (I don't even know if I already posted about this) - this guy is in three major numbers, so even if I replace him, and even if I "sing" his role, the replacement would still have to learn everything in two days.
-
Ron - My point being that, just like the ER emergency room, being around Jessica Fletcher made a person (fictional or otherwise) about 1,000,000 times more likely to get killed or accused of killing someone.
(I do agree with Elmore about Lansbury on that TV show vs. Lansbury on the stage, but that's a different point.)
Yeah, but how many of us were lucky enough to see Angela live unless we traveled to the States or England!
That Fletcher character was not that bad after all! :D
-
Ohhhhhhhhh....now I'm starting to wake up. I wasn't quite there.
Thanks for the push.
:)
Many of us have never have had an opportunity to see Lansbury on stage. "Murder, She Wrote" (plus a few mostly forgettable movies) are the only means we had of enjoying her.
But I take your word for it...I'm certain her stage appearances beat the socks off her TV work.
Oh, I hadn't read your post yet, Ron and I second that, of course!

He's got a girl named Jane with no last name,
Kinda homely and plain but he loves her just the same,
Cuz she kindles a flame and it drives him insane,
When he hears her sing, she really does her thing,
It's her claim to fame, come on, sing one Jane!
Baby!
Baby!
Ow, baby!
Ba-doo-ba-doo-ba-doo-ba-doo-ba-baby!
Baby!
Baby!

Well, I've made no secret here of loving MURDER SHE WROTE. The last few years were lame and repetitive (after over 200+ episodes, most shows are), but she did excellent work in those first few years.
I think she gave her most touching performance as Jessica in "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel." Her late husband's downed plane from the Korean War is discovered in Alaska with a dead body on board. Evidence seems to point to husband Frank as the killer, and Jessica must move heaven and earth to prove he wasn't the murderer with no help at all from either former or current Air Force brass. She gets to be tender, angry, and extremely emotional in defending her husband's honor. She should have won one of those 12 Emmys she was nominated for this series for this performance.

It's a most unusual day.

I too love Murder, She Wrote, and grew up watching it every sunday night. When I first started watching it I had a bedtime of 8:30 (I was in grade school) which meant I would become involved in the plot but had to leave before finding out who the murderer was. I would make my mom describe the rest of the episode on my way to school the next day. I wonder if that impacted her decision to make my bedtime later- maybe she was just tired of having to recap each week.

Francois, your "Virginia" joke reminds me of one of my favorite Johnny Carson jokes, about the starlet who wanted to audition to play Grace in THE SAILOR WHO FELL FROM GRACE.
I'm sure I've mentioned that one before, but still....

I started the afternoon watching the 1955 KISMET from a DVD-R I made from a TCM telecast (the image was sharper than the laserdisc though the color wasn't as saturated). Fordin's book states that Minnelli didn't really want to direct the movie and was itching to get to LUST FOR LIFE and thus did rudimentary work on KISMET, and it shows. This must be his most plodding directorial achievement.
I wonder if Charles Walters or George Sidney could have livened things up a bit. The cast is as perfect as the movies could have given us at the time, and certainly no money was spared to bring it to the screen. A lost opportunity, I guess.

"The Da Vinci Code" seems to be getting eviscerated by national critics today.
The N.Y. Times, the Washington Post and the San Francisco Chronicle (the three websites I visit daily) all yawned and suggested Ron Howard and Akiva Goldman were too cautious with the material...and took everything out of the story that had grabbed people's interest.
Ian McKellen seems to be getting some acclaim for his role....and one critic said he made the movie worth watching (not that he was recommending anyone go see it). Tom Hanks doesn't seem to be doing so.
Anyone remember "Bonfire of the Vanities"? Hanks should stay away from adaptations of phenomenal best-sellers.
-
I know MURDER SHE WROTE entertained many many people and made Angela Lansbury a superstar.
I even enjoyed the MURDER SHE WROTE multi-theater experience at Universal Orlando.
Not sure what my point is, but it's a post. :)
-
Since this is a most controversial day, I will say that when I saw BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES on the small screen, it didn't feel nearly the mess that it seems to have been on the big screen.
Time may end up being good to that legendary disaster. Let's discuss it in 50 years or so. :)

Then I watched last night's CSI season finale. Two interesting cases: the decapitation of a Civil War enactment soldier and a man found dead in a hotel room with an alcohol level of .28. I enjoyed the cases, especially as the team was also on pins and needles following the shooting of Captain Jim Brass last week.
But that last scene, well, let's just say that I was extremely disgusted, disappointed, and outraged over the writers going against everything the show had built up about one character for the last seven years.
-
Pogue just called and was available for lunch, which I would love to have done, but, of course, nooooo, I must go down to LACC now and try to find a replacement for the actor.
-
"The Da Vinci Code" seems to be getting eviscerated by national critics today.
And yet not all national critics hate it. The ad in the newspaper today featured a quote from the NY Post critic with a 4 star rating.
Our local newspaper film reviewer gave it 3 1/2 stars out of 4.

Finished off the afternoon with Wednesday night's season finale of LAW & ORDER. Another death of a major character in the show and the relentless operation to earn some justice for the deceased. Nice end to the season.
Allegedly there will be some major shake-ups on the show's cast next season, but since that episode won the timeslot for NBC for the first time all season, maybe Dick Wolf won't clean house as thoroughly as he was threatening to do.
-
Angela Lansbury was quite good in a couple of low budget film noirs that I have seen recently...A LIFE AT STAKE opposite Keith Andes and PLEASE MURDER ME opposite Raymond Burr...both, by the way, are now available on DVD.
PS: Keith Andes thought that A LIFE AT STAKE stunk...but I actually enjoyed it.
-
Speaking of Charles Walters, did I hear correctly that Walter Charles will be appearing in HELLO DOLLY at Paper Mill, starring Tovah Feldshuh as Dolly?
I'm really excited about seeing this for some reason. I somehow managed to get 5th row center seats for this, and be it brilliant, adequate, or a train wreck, it'll be one hell of a show (or is that hello of a show).

Good evening all! It's Friday! And I'm on my way HOME!!!!!
I'm so happy I could just burst into song!
Tarzen swing though the air,
Tarzen lose underwear,
Tarzen say, "Me no care! Tarzen needs no underwear!"
But I am sorry to hear about your actor, BK.

Vibes to find a wonderful replacement in time!

DR Elmore, I'm just glad that I finely figured out a way to be in touch with everyone. It may not be for as long as I would like but at least I'm here and can read the posts.

We had a guy bring in something called "Jumping John" (I think--I know it was Jumping some guys name" Anyway, I've never had that before but I thought it was wonderful! If you like I will try to post the receipe--he emailed to me and I forwarded it home.

Might that have been "Hoppin' John"? A black-eyed peas & rice dish?
-
“Hopping John”
1 pork roast (3# - 5#) in a crock pot covered in
1 tbsp salt or
Seasoning salt with garlic
Set crock pot on high for 8 hours or until pork falls apart.
Remove the meat and let it cool.
Strain the juices into a large pot.
Set on high heat and bring liquid to a boil.
Add:
1 cup water
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
½ tbsp red pepper flakes
1 bunch green onions diced
1 10 oz frozen black eyed peas
1 10 oz frozen sliced carrots
1 ¼ cups of rice (or 1 10 oz package of Vigo® yellow rice)
Reduce heat to low and cover for 20 minutes for rice to cook.
Remove fat and bones from pork roast. Slice or shred pork.
Uncover and slow add a cup at a time on low heat:
8 cups/1 pound or more/one bunch of cleaned and shredded collard greens (USE FRESH ONLY)
Stir until each cup is wilted and well mixed into the vegetable mixture.
Place entire mixture back into the crock pot and place the pork on top.
Cover, warm and serve.
I guess it was hopping not jumping John! LOL!
Gee you guys don't have to be so polite and let me do all the talking.
I'm just about home.

We're driving by the local Walmart as I type. Only a few more blocks to my stop. Guess I'd better sign off for now.

I've got two dates this weekend:
One is with a toilet tank.
The other is with a toilet bowl.
Bot require time, patience, *ANOTHER SPECIALIZED TOOL, and some replacement parts.
*Every fracking home repair I do requires a specialized tool without which the job cannot be done correctly. A lot of time and money is expended in finding this tool, but the end result always makes it seem worthwhile.
But there is no other practical use for the tool until such time -- 10 or 20 years down the pike -- as I need to perform the same task again.

Hey, that sounds delicious DR Danise! I love crock pot recipes and I might try to make that one.
-
JRand, besides TCB and TPunk (who will have the DVD in a matter of hours) I think I sent a copy to DR Elmoore...I don't believe that either of the two gay male recipients has yet to watch it (My Brother Nikhil)...but they really should.

I asked Pogue if he'd stay in town and do the part, but he can't change his flight.
I shall now be on my way to LACC.

I haven't watched a Bollywood movie in several weeks now and I am beginning to have withdrawals. Hopefully I can fix that this weekend.
A frontal lobotomy or a 12-step Program?
-
Hi all...well as my sister has been telling everyone, I am liberated from the court room for awhile. My boss called late this afternoon to say he's now decided to approve the leave in 2 week increments. It's not that big a deal, but it's just another little...we don't trust you....thing. AHHHHHH it drives me nuts. Anyway, I now have somewhere between 2 and 7 weeks to unwind.
-
It hit 91 degrees here today. I'm thinking a margarita by the river with an order of fried oysters might be good. But then again, a nap sounds good too

20 million dollars for TARZAN, The Musical ?????
To me that's INSANE!
(Saw the ABC News video clip and it seems that Tarzan could also play Jane any day!!
I'm so bad!
TCB's influence I guess!)

For TARZAN, the casting couch was a casting vine!
Kinky isn't it?

Hmmm... I seem to remember that when the second character in that scene was originally introduced there was some hints at a history of that type... I was suprised but not shocked

In other words, I'm off for the first 2 weeks, but with a note I can get the rest of the time my doctor says I need. Being treated like a high school student all the time is part of why I'm really sick of this. My last boss really spoiled me...oh yeah, that was me.

Today was the last day of school for the summer....well that's how it feels.
I'm jealous!! Enjoy it!!

Well, if the mediocre CONVICTION had been as good all season as it is tonight, it might have been on NBC's fall 2006 lineup.

Thanks. I'm hoping the nightmares stop and I lose this edge of irritability with pretty much everything.
BTW, they accepted my counter offer but the husband won't be back from fishing in Canada to sign everything until tomorrow night. I lost money so I'm not too happy, but the market in Sioux City is so bad for sellers....that got me a great house cheap, but cost me selling the old one. Oh well, it's only money

It was lousy . I only watched one episode, but that was too much
-
That was fast! :D

Well, I think I'll celebrate my first night of freedom...with a hot bath and a good book. Not quite sure on the book part....I'll have to check the "to read" bookshelf....
-
I spent most of the day in the kitchen cooking and cleaning as we are entertaining tomorrow night. In the morning I still need to make clam dip and a sour cream bundt cake. I purchased a rose bundt pan to make the cake a bit fancier. I hope it comes out pretty.
Now I get to go wash the dinner dishes. :)
-
Cillaliz, nice way to celebrate-relax.

I'm back - I rather feel like I've been hit by a large truck and then had said large truck roll over me about ten times. I arrived at LACC to try to replace my actor, only to be told that one of the actors in the play that was supposed to open this evening had been hit while riding his bike - end result, broken leg, cancelled shows this weekend. That meant we could get in the theater and work and that the two actors we shared would be able to rehearse with us this weekend. That's what it meant until they decided to replace the injured actor and rehearse all weekend. So, now I don't have two actors at all tomorrow and only sporadically on Sunday - and they both have substantial roles in my show. On top of that, a couple of other cast members can't be at rehearsal tomorrow, and my pianist can only be there for two hours - and he has yet to play the entire show, nor have we set any of the background music. Sunday, I'll have everyone (although sharing the two actors) for about five hours - in that time I'm supposed to have this show ready to perform on Sunday evening. On top of that, we now cannot play our show in the theater that we were supposed to, since they'll be working in there. The only problem with that is that I blocked the entire show to be performed on their set. So, now I'm in the BIIIIG theater with no levels (the set we were supposed to do it on had levels), our audience of however many will barely fill the first two or three rows of the theater, and the actors will be doing a staged reading of a new musical in a CAVERN. I have to reblock some stuff, and with five or six hours tomorrow (without a full cast), and with five hours on Sunday (sharing two actors), I don't know what the hell this thing is going to be, and I'm just all in and walking around like a zombie.

I’m done, nice & fast. Everything except one frying pan went into the dishwasher. Now I’m waiting for the clothes in the dryer to finish drying & I can go relax.
-
Bruce, you sure need some good vibes-sending them to you, the show & the entire cast.

Oh Bruce!!! :-\

I’m off to watch the Thai film ONG-BAK with Tony Jaa.
‘night.
-
... the entire cast.
THAT'S the thing not to say... the ENTIRE cast!! :-\
Or is it the cast for the broken leg! (Break a leg did you say??)

Does your husband know about... Tony Jaa? ;)

Hello Francois!!! Happy birthday to you!!! (I hope it is not over already!)

I agree completely. The best shows (both hours which were actually two episodes back-to-back) of the series by far.
I still object to everyone in that DA's office either wanting to or actually sleeping with one another. I was never all that interested in pursuing any of my co-workers and neither were any of the other single teachers I worked with. We all seemed to look elsewhere for companionship.
-
I finished KISMET when I turned the TV back on. Always thoughr "Sands of Time" was an anticlimactic way to end the movie, my least favorite song in the entire score.
-
I then put in THE OPPOSITE SEX, another DVD-R I reocrded off TCM. The picture was sharper than the laserdisc, but this time it was also just a tad more colorful (though the Metrocolor has faded pretty badly on this print and on the laserdisc, too.)

Now this is fun!

Off to bed now.
Good night!

Just home from a fun day of meetings. I am going to bed. Tomorrow is more of the same, only they start earlier.
Good night.

Many thanks to DRs Elmore and Jane for livening up our mailbox the past couple days! You folks are the best!
I want pictures of Jane and Elmore inside your mailbox!

I think that this is my biggest concern going into social work- burn out. It's been hard even this year because I know that nobody wants to hear about my cases but I have to let some of it out or I feel like I will explode. I suppose that is what therapy is for...
-
I am home from a girls night out that consisted of drinks followed by sushi (and a lot of saki) for dinner, followed by more drinks and then a cab ride home with Rodzinski who was out with the boys.
My mom and younger sister are as we speak (so to speak) on a redeye flight from california and will be landing in approxmately 5 hours. Which means that they will be reaching our place sometime around 7 or 8 this morning, which means I should get some sleep.
