DR Ginny - as far as the modem thing:
You need to have a cell plan that includes an Internet data component and that allows "linking." Then it's simply a matter of connecting your phone to your laptop via a USB cable, and technology does the rest! :)

Last night Cilla asked
Ok, what would be better the 2 hour cruise or the Staten Island Ferry?
Well, the ride on the Staten Island Ferry takes less time than the cruise. It's about a half hour each way so you have around an hour (give or take a few minutes). If it's not done at either rush hour (morning or evening) it's a nice, relaxing ride. You do have to get down to the terminal on the Number 1 train (I believe it runs down there during the week) so that will add time to your trip. If you do take the train downtown remember to sit in one of the first five cars.
I've never done the 2 hour lower Manhattan cruise but I hear it's quite nice. You see more than you do on the SI Ferry (the Brooklyn Bridge, South Street, and other areas) and it's a large enough boat that if it's a full cruise you're not crammed in.
-
I've done the 3 hour Circle Line several times, and there's a lot that you go by that lacks a certain glamor, and the entertainment value of this varies based on the ability of your tour guide at being a raconteur (sp?). But some of the views when you get around upper Manhattan are breathtaking, and the overview of the city is fascinating even if there is some down time here and there. And during the occasional down time during the trip, it's just a lovely, peaceful ride. Cilla, i think you'd actually enjoy the 3-hour tour at some point when you're not trying to cram in as much active fun stuff as possible.
But the 2 hour tour sounds like it's lots of the points everyone wants to see when they come to NYC and may have a limited time for touring.
OK, I wasn't any help on the question you asked. But it was a post!

Tambourines came into my head because I heard the song GREEN TAMBOURINE on Sunday afternoon during one of those Info things where they shill products. Has anyone else seen the Info thing for the Time-Life CDS, FLOWER POWER?
I'm sorry, but I think there is something rather unnatural about the ultimate 60s counter-culture symbol, Peter Fonda; selling music CDs in infomercials.

Good morning, all! Today is moving day!!!!!!!!
I'm going to head down to the office around noon to run any errands we need to do or to finish up any odds and ends. Between 2 and 4, the movers are showing up to pack the truck and head to our new location. After 5, we move into the new space. It's my current understanding that the former occupants are indeed out but some of their belongings are still in the space. My goal after our baggage is in the office is to unpack my desk and help with whatever needs done. I will be E&T most of the day.
Tomorrow, I will come in and continue the unpacking, then run over to NYPL for some newspaper research.
TOD: This painting, "Umbrellas in the Rain" is my current obsession.

DR Jose, Nick sent me an email that he was moving up to the role of Matt. Goddaughter Charlotte has a crush on him, so I think I'll take her back to see the show before she leaves for college.

TOD: Favorite Museum: Musée d'Orsay
I also love the underground part of the Louvre that they excavated when they built Pei's glass pyramid.
Also, not a museum but an unusual exhibit of Impressionism: Cathedrale d’Images in Les Baux.
-
perhaps bk's check is in the mail?

Certainly.
-
Pieter Bruegel the Elder: The Land of Cockaigne
Hieronymus Bosch: The Garden of Earthly Delights
Claude Monet: Impression: Sunrise
Van Gogh: Starry Night
Too many others to name! I have seen some of these in person...
-
Good morning!
Felt a bit cooler this morning than the last several mornings, but that won't last long. Another upper 80s day for us today.
-
Thanks for the pics, DR Laura. They were the usual breathtaking shots of flora and fauna (a SLEEPING BEAUTY reference).
-
Hope all goes well today at the move, DR Elmore. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
-
I've always loved Picasso's GUERNICA. It moves me and shocks me in profound ways, unlike anything else I've ever seen.
-
Hooray! Hooray! It's moving day!
Best wishes for settling in nicely, Elmore!
-
Well, my favorite museum is the Museum of TV and Radio. If I lived in NYC, they would get SO sick of the sight of me.
-
Tonight is the second episode in Glenn Close's new series DAMAGES. Looking forward to seeing it.
Otherwise, I'll be DVDing it today. I'll finish ROYAL WEDDING which I began last night. Then, I'll move on to the last of the TV box sets I have here that need immediate attention: EIGHT SIMPLE RULES.
-
I've always loved Picasso's GUERNICA. It moves me and shocks me in profound ways, unlike anything else I've ever seen.
Yes, DR Matt H. I spent a good, long time taking in the original when I was in Madrid. Since 1992 it is no longer housed within the Prado.
-
I've seen so manty paintings, I can't really remember which ones I like the best, I would suspect it is anything by Turner.
My favourite museum of all time was the Theatre Museum in Covent Garden, which I saw for the last time on my last trip to London back in November. It has since been closed. Despite an effort by the theatrical community of London, the Victoria and Albert Museum, under whose province it fell, felt that it could afford to keep it open and, of course, the government did nothing to help.
The Vickie and Al is also a great museum. And there is none greater than the British Museum. One of my favourites, however, is the British Library, where one can see items of great literary significance like the Magna Carta, Gutenberg Bibles, Scott's diary, and bits of Dickens and Carroll and Joyce and other great masters of literature.
I've always had a fondness for the Cincinnati Art Museum up in Eden Park.
-
My favorite artist is Van Gogh -- Cafe Terrace at Night, Country Houses, some of his Iris paintings, Starry Nights, etc. etc. etc.
Monet -- Impression Sunrise (good taste DR Edi!), etc. etc., etc.
Michelanglo -- The Sistine Chapel (maybe doesn't count since you can't hang it on a wall, but it was his canvas...)
Salvador Dali -- I don't know that I'd ever want to buy his stuff for my house -- but I find his stuff whimsical, intriguing and interesting to study/look at -- Vesliges Ataviques, etc.
-
My favorite museum is the Witte in San Antonio, Texas -- mainly cause I grew up haunting that one -- strictly that personal connection because it's not some big fancy one. When people came to visit, it was on the sight-seeing list to take them to, right up there with the Alamo. Artwork, collections -- and they had this jewel collection -- and this one giant diamond on display in a case back in this dark room where it glowed under this light. My cousin Charlie and I always plotted and planned how someone could steal it -- our plan was very elaborate, involving a helicopter, coming down a rope, crashing through this giant vertical window outside the room, trying to beat the alarm and closing door, etc. -- ala James-Bondish-style. A while back someone walked in, jammed a lawn chair in the door (like those chain ones that close off stores in a mall after hours), smashed the case, and walked out with it -- calmly, cooly ... and successfully. Most uncreative (my cousin and I thought!) -- and disappointing to think that giant diamond gleaming in the dark was gone after all those years ...
...and disappointing to think that the security guard didn't wonder about someone carrying a lawn chair around inside a museum...guess he was expecting some wild scheme like Charlie's and mine ...

Off to read some more HALF BLOOD PRINCE. Then, I'll be preparing lunch - barbecued chicken today.

Of course, we had our Unseemly Trivia Contest question - and, as it turns out, I didn't stump our usual panel of regular players, which astonished me. Here was the question:
This season produced one huge musical hit, several other musical hits, a lot of musical misses, a few hit plays, and a lot of flop plays - in other words, business as usual. This particular flop play at least eked out a modest run, even though it was never heard of again. It was by a well-known and popular playright, who was also a well-known and popular screenwriter of some classic films. It was directed by a well-known director. In the cast was an actor who'd recently appeared in a classic musical and who would go on to play a memorable role in a film version of a Broadway musical. Also an actor who would go on to have a diverse film career, appearing in several classic motion pictures. Also in its cast were a male and female actor who would have an interesting connection years later. Also in the cast was a young actress who would have a semi-successful career in movies (she appeared in at least one classic by a hugely popular film director), and would then star in a beloved television series opposite a beloved television star. Finally, another actor in the cast would have legendary status doing something other than acting.
So:
Name the play and its author.
Name the play's well-known director.
Name the actor who'd recently appeared in a classic musical and would go on to play a memorable role in a film version of a Broadway musical and name his role in that film.
Name the actor who would go on to have a diverse career in films, and name at least two of the classic films he appeared in.
Name the male and female actors who would go on to have a very interesting connection many years later.
Name the young actress who would go on to a semi-successful film career, name her classic film and the hugely successful director, and name her beloved television series and her co-star.
Name the actor who would achieve legendary status for something other than acting.
And here are the answers:
The Cold Wind And The Warm/S.N. Behrman
Harold Clurman
Timmy Everett/Tommy Djilas in the film of The Music Man
Eli Wallach/The Magnificent Seven/The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly or many others
Maureen Stapleton and Vincent Gardenia - Miss Stapleton starred in the TV film Queen Of The Stardust Ballroom, and Mr. Gardenia starred in its musical version on B'way.
Suzanne Pleshette/The Birds/Alfred Hitchcock/The Bob Newhart Show/Bob Newhart
Sanford Meisner became a legendary acting teacher
Our high winners were Dan the Man, FJL, Jrand, and JMK. We put their names into our handy-dandy Electronic Hat, which chose at random Dan The Man. So, if he will send us his address, he will receive a sparkling prize (and our past two winners will receive theirs this week, too).

Congrats to DR DtM!!!

As for the Topic of the Day...
Favorite Museum: The Art Institute of Chicago, with the Clark up in Williamstown, MA, a very close second.
I did explore the National Gallery (both the East and West wings) in DC a couple of times, but I always found their regular holdings on the "safe" side. However, since they always had a bunch of special exhibitions, and hosted a couple of traveling exhibitions throughout the year, that always kept things interesting.
-
As for favorite paintings, well...
Seurat - "...La Grande Jatte"
Lots of Monet, especially the Cathedral "studies".
...And a bunch of others that just aren't coming into my still awakening mind right now. ::)
-
DR elmore - HAPPY MOVING DAY!!!!

Where can I get a set of those for myself?? :D

Well, Abercrombie & Fitch used to feature the Carlson Twins, but I'm not sure where they're available now. ;)

DR DearReaderLaura - Beautiful Pics as always. But who's been watching the church while you've been gone? ;)
-
Moving vibes for DR ELMORE.....such a great day.
And it is happening on Lamass/Lughnasa which is perfect AND the Jupiter retrograde ends today which makes it perfect.
As for the orange cake that DR TCB asked about instead of a candle and muffin.....it wouldn't work IF I made the cake.

All of my baking efforts are truly burnt offerings.

I dunno. I was hoping that DR Tomovoz would repost his DP Colin's recipe. However, I know that I have it somewhere on my computer, although, it may actually be on my old laptop, so... In any case, I have sampled the orange cake in question made by the Colin in question, and I must say it was/is quite dee-lish.

Here's a question for those in the know NYC HHW'ers....does Luisa and/or Matt change any portion of costume for the second act?

-
DR singdaw - Well, I couldn't find the recipe on my computer, however, I did find this similar on the net. Maybe once DR Tomovoz awakens Down Under, he can post Colin's version. But in the meantime...
From OzeVillage.com.au
For the Cake:
2 medium oranges
200g butter
1 cup caster sugar
4 eggs
2 cups plain flour
1 cup ground almonds
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
For the Syrup:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons marmalade
Preheat the oven to 180ºC and butter a 24cm non-stick, springform cake tin.
Wash the oranges and place the oranges in a saucepan of water. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 1 hour. When cool, puree the oranges in a food processor until smooth.
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add eggs one at a time, and beating well after each addition. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, ground almonds, slivered almonds and bicarbonate of soda.
Add half the flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture, then add half the buttermilk, mix well. Repeat, using all the ingredients, then add the orange puree and vanilla and mix gently.
Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake at 180ºC for 60 minutes. The cake is cooked when it is golden brown and bounces back when gently pressed in the centre.
Meanwhile, make the syrup. Heat the sugar and juice together stirring all the time to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes. Add the marmalade and stir to dissolve. Spoon or brush the syrup over the cake while still in the tin. Remove the cake from the tin and serve with some clotted cream or rum and raisin ice cream.
-
Here's a question for those in the know NYC HHW'ers....does Luisa and/or Matt change any portion of costume for the second act?
I don't recall any major costume change. However, Matt does don a "trick" shirt during his "travel" sequence.

Again, maybe once DR Tomovoz is stirring, he can post Colin's version, with the non-metric conversions.

I donno--"a singing skirt" sounds to me like a euphemism a polite lady might use when she accidentally farts at a cocktail party.

Oh-hoh the UPS wagon was a comin' down the street
Let's see what it's brung for me
It could be curtains (not), or dishes (ugh) or a double boiler (pish) or it could be....
....something special.....
....just for me-e-e-e-e:
"Batman Begins" HD DVD
"The Bourne Identity" HD DVD
"The Bourne Supremacy" HD DVD
"300" HD DVD
"Popeye The Sailor-1933-38" Standard DVD box
Ooh-frelling-RAH!

I lumped paintings and drawings together.

MISS KAREN,
Given your story about stealing the museum jewels, you MUST see HUSTLE Season 2 (last episode) if you haven't already. Available from Netflix.
And now I have a better understanding about your fondness for that giant emerald several months ago.
-
Did you, DR SINGDAW, think that the noise made by the Beta Desintagrator sounded a lot like the started on an old Nash auto?
-
Did you, DR SINGDAW, think that the noise made by the Beta Disintegrator sounded a lot like the starter on an old Nash auto?
;D
I don't know about that, but it looked like a cardboard privy! :)
-
OH, thanks for reminding me, DR Jeanne - LOVED DR Miss Karen's story about the jewels. :)
-
DR RLP got a nice haul today!
-
DR Matt H. has cost me a pretty penny lately...between ordering all the Donald Strachey mystery novels, the DVD adaptations, and Dante's Cove!
-
Even moreso in the show....DR SINGDAW. :P
Perhaps you could be PIXILATED57 soon. Well, maybe not.

Did I miss the hoopla for singdaw's new plateau?
-
I'm not going to be purchasing an HD television anytime soon, so the Blue-Ray conversion is a long way off, for me...
-
Thanks, DR FJL - hadn't noticed, actually! :)
-
Hmm...
I think I talk too much.
Must work on that.
-
I began my afternoon with the last 70 minutes of ROYAL WEDDING. It looks scrumptuous, and I think I enjoyed it more than any other time I've ever watched it since the transfer is so wonderful.

These are some great items.
I just got my shipping notice for '300' (on Blu-ray) today, so it won't be getting here until at least Friday.
-

Oh, I didn't mean to do that!
But I think you will enjoy the Donald Strachey stories and films a lot (I'm ready for the next movie!)
As for DANTE'S COVE, I DID say it was a guilty pleasure. Beautiful bodies but acting dreadful beyond measure and storytelling that's not quite up to C-movie level.

Great DVD choices for DR RLP. What will you watch first?
These days, DR SINGDAW, the Queen's ultimate weapon reminds me of those $10 outdoor tents you can buy for the lawn.....but it was nicely decorated....as were MOST of the Vesusians themselves.
One critic remarked that the Masked Queen and her court seemed to rule the planet as part of a game show.
-
I put in the first disc of EIGHT SIMPLE RULES today.
I have to admit I NEVER watched this show when it came on ABC (beginning in 2002). After watching about six episodes thus far, I think I was right to have skipped it. John Ritter plays father to three bratty children (high school age). The children's attitudes (particularly the girls) and smart-aleck backtalk are such an anathma to me that it's hard to enjoy anything humorous that happens to find its way into the stories.
And his bumbling cluelessness as a father (supposedly wife Katey Segal did the rearing of the children before going back to work leaving him to be the primary caregiver) is really irritating.
Just my luck. They filmed 28 episodes for the first season (at a time when most shows were doing 22 episodes).
-
Sometimes things are so bad, they're good! :)
You're right, and DANTE'S COVE is a prime example of that!.

Congrats to DR SINGDAW on 5000 entertaining posts.....
Or as the poster used to say on the Burlesque Theater:
49 Beautiful Girls
& 1 Ugly One

Well I guess I will be off to rehearsal......I guess.
Act One again tonight. Places for Act One.

A few other rehearsal pictures can be found here, but they are variable in quality.....take that as you will.

Was anyone here a fan of EIGHT SIMPLE RULES when it ran for three seasons? Of course, after RItter died after a few episodes into Season 2, they brought in James Garner, and I'll bet he was a more no-nonsense father figure than Ritter is in the show.
Maybe a fan can help me understand the attraction of these really spoiled, off-putting kids and the wishy-washy parents who allow such disrespect.
Or is that the way families are in the 21st century? (Admittedly, I wouldn't know. That's why I'm asking.)
-
I hear you, DR MATTH. It is a different world in many ways.
Three people told us that they had a toy drum we could use.....I wanted to buy one on EBAY two weeks ago....but the director said Oh, No.....we have one.
And of course....not one of the three people can "find" theirs. So here we are - too late really to count on an online delivery for an opening a week from Thursday....
I went to a toy store today. No drum....and not many things that I would call toys.
If any DR hasn't been to a toy store recently.....take a trip on the wild side.
-
Hello, all...
Well, I know I just got here, but it's time for me to go. Tonight is the 4th anniversary of Q's opening, so I'm hoping we'll be sold out and quite busy. After the show, I will be attending the after party (hopefully joined by a certain DR who is currently cleaning his room). I will do my best to get some pics.
In the meantime...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AVENUE Q!!

I wonder if the episode with Olive Oyl moving and singing that catchy tune will be included.....episode is Moving Aweigh....I think.
Oh just looked....that is from 1944..... So I answered my own question.

DR JASON - WE ARE SOOOO HERE (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/109959.html)!!!
-
LOL! I think I'll leave the typos in that last post as they are. They kind of appeal to me.
-
Hmm...
I think I talk too much.
Must work on that.
Pa-shaww!! Don't even think it, Chain-saw. I, for one (and I dare say that if we took an informal, or for that matter formal, HHW poll -- I would be in the majority - and it would most likely be unanimous) quite enjoy your daily musings.
-
Yes, DRJASON we must see pics from the par-teh.
I will be thinking of the fun you are having while I am suffering....I mean....while I am rehearsing.
-
LOL! I think I'll leave the typos in that last post as they are. They kind of appeal to me.

Hello HHW!
Sorry to have been so quiet the past couple days. I've been very busy between working on last night's All Singin' All Dancin' show, and meeting some NYMF deadlines. But I wanted to drop in and say hello to everyone, and I promise I'll try to catch up tonight.
Hope everyone has a great day and I'll catch you all later!

Break time is over -- oh, congrats to Penny O and belated BD (Big Dog or Birthday .. or both) greetings to Sherlock of the Giant Paws (I want more photos of Goofus -- and all the other HHWer pets -- they always make me smile and go awwwwwwwww!).
...and across the board "may life go the way you want/need it to" vibes to everyone who needs vibes since I don't know if I'm ever gonna catch up with all the postings (what comes from being an EandT HHWer...) .., whew! that from someone who really talks too much...but I don't plan to do anything about it (Hee-hah!)
-
And today's late-lunch consisted of an egg-white omelet filled with bell peppers (green, red and yellow) and broccoli florets that had been sauteed in olive oil with a "generous" clove of garlic and a dash of red pepper flakes. YUM! And healthy!
-
"I'm Yum and Healthy"
-That could be from a lot of things. ;)
-
DR JRand56(goingon57):
As for "what" I'll watch first, I haven't decided. It will likely be between "Batman Begins" and "300"
-
And even though it's not Friday... I've been listening to "re-imagination" by the jazz pianist, Eldar (http://www.eldarjazz.com). The kid has some chops! And very fast ones too! And he sort of is still a "kid", he's just 20 years old!

Yes, I saw that it was AVENUE Q's 4th birthday when I read Playbill-on-Line today. The show is SO deserving of all the success it's had. I really loved it.

Heading back down now to do some chores around the house (cleaning the living room this morning, but I have some other things to tend to outside), and then back to EIGHT SIMPLE RULES until DMAGES comes on at 10.

Tuesday afternoon greetings! Just a quick stop here between my fabulous visit to Ten Chimneys and the Evening Prayer service in which DH Richard is a liturgist. I'll be back later to tell y'all all about Ten Chimneys.
Fundraiser vibes to BK!
Moving day vibes to DR Elmore & Co.
As-needed vibes to anyone else!
Off to church - bye for now!

...And thus concludes my tidying up for today.
-Just thought y'all would like to know that. ;)

Jrand, the only theatre I did this summer was in my capacity as a board member of Actors' Guild of Lexington. We started a summer Shakespeare at Equus Run, a vineyard here in Central Kentucky, about 12 miles outside Lexington and near where I live. Our inaugural production, LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST, exceeded our first year's expectations and goals and we'll be doing two shows next year. I did not act in this production, only served as advisor and general cheerleader.
I'm currently beginning to gear up to play Claudius in a production of Hamlet at Actor's Guild in the fall.

Does anyone know anything about this photo?

A Washington power manwich?
-
Does anyone know anything about this photo?
I believe the question is: Do I want to know anything about this photo? I mean, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", right?
-
Oh dear....that should have been TWO separate posts!!!!
Any resemblance between DR CILLA LIZ and the pants arguments was coincidental and not intended. These pants were not meant to represent any HHW'er living or dead.
LOL, A 46 in Women's clothing would be MUCH MUCH MUCH bigger than I am....I didn't take it that way at all. I actually think they are giving bigger clothes smaller size numbers so that you feel good and buy them...cynic that I am
-
On the Broadway show front, Sam said Legally Blonde and Curtains look good but it's entirely up to me. I am seriously considering ACL.
OK, gang...I could use some serious help here. ...Sam is 19 and this will be her very first Broadway show. She doesn't want to go to Wicked (Her words "No, I really don't care about Wicked") She loved the movie Rent and knows every word, so there is that, but I've seen Rent way too many times and would like to find a show she can watch and experience something new, not something she already knows. ....HELP!!!!!
My options at this point are
A Chorus Line - considering that she loved Rent, she may like something with a little substance to it
Legally Blonde - which could be fun
Curtains - she wouldn't mind seeing "Niles"
I'm cool with seeing any of them again. This would be a Saturday, probably a Saturday night after a day of sight seeing.
-
I had a goofy thing happen today. I got a call from my "DEX" representative, she called on my cell phone and made what was really an initial contact. I told her I had already met with my "DEX" representative and he was working on a lay-out for my yellow pages ad. She didn't believe me, so I told her the name, number etc, and told her that I had made an initial contact back in May or June and when I received no response I called again. He responded and we met 3 weeks ago and did the whole lay out.
She was really snippy about it. Tonight the male rep called. He asked me about it and I told him the same thing. I knew what happened when this whole thing started, but since the female didn't respond for - let's see 6 weeks or so after I called, I don't have any sympathy for her. I waited about 3-4 weeks after leaving a message for her to contact him. In my book, you snooze you lose. He said they are sorting out who should have my account, I hope it's him. He did his job, she didn't
-
I was messing with the computers at the office all day today. I added an external hard drive for a back up and I think I messed something up, anyway, I finally just left it running and left. So I need to go back tonight and see if I can make things work.
I did figure out my new case management software today. Yeah
-
We are back at the Nashotah House library, where I'm doing a little research assistance for DH Richard.
-
DR Cillaliz - There's no way you - or Sam - could squeeze in two shows while you're in town? -Well, other than the NYMF ones. ;)
ACL is in good shape, however, after a day of sight-seeing, sitting down for two hours and 10 minutes straight may not be the most comfortable thing in the world. An intermission may be your friend, so to speak.
However, ACL is a "performer's show", so... But LB is fun too. As is Curtains.
-I'm not helping, am I? ;)
*If it does helps, Legally Blonde and Ave Q have shows Sunday nights too - depending when you're leaving, or what other shows you have on your schedule already. ACL and Curtains have single-show Sundays.
-
Well, I should get myself ready to head down to the Avenue Q Four-Year Anniversary Festivities. I'll have my camera with me too, so, hopefully, I'll be able to take a couple of pics of whoever shows up. ;)
Laters...
-
But I think the only time Cilla can see BRAIN is on Sunday evening the 30th. They might be cutting it close trying to see the Friday afternoon show.
-
Or am i wrong about when you're arriving, Cilla?
-

Here's the thing, assuming all is on time, we will arrive at 1:30 pm Friday, make our way to the hotel and check in. We will see Starfighter Friday Night. Sam wants to sight see, so I thought I'd leave Saturday - day open for some of that - and some relaxing and then do a Broadway show Saturday Night. Sunday day would be free for whatever and Sunday night is The Brain. I really don't want to do two shows in a day. It's her first trip to New York and I know she wants to go sightseeing.
-
Oh good grief, Bill Richardson just left me a message and now John Edwards is on the phone....the joys of living in Iowa.
-
A labor rally at Redi-Mix...oh John, you can do better than that...
-
Matt H I thought your guess regarding Brenda was wrong because she had a fever. Last night she told the doctor she is feeling feverish-BIG difference there.
Edi-I’m glad you hinted it is more than that since the doctor took a load of tests & needed to run more.
-
Anyway back to important things...I called Sam and after going back and forth she said her number 1 is Legally Blonde, in part because I haven't seen it, and if we want to on Sunday, number 2 is A Chorus Line. So if we did that we'd do the Sun Mat of ACL and then go to The Brain
-
Cilla I think you should tell DEX you want the guy to have your account. As the customer you should be able to do that.
-
If I may ask---what is DEX?
-
I wonder what time tickets are available tomorrow?
-
Cilla I think you should tell DEX you want the guy to have your account. As the customer you should be able to do that.
I'm going to wait and see what they say first. I'm hoping that's what they will do. If they decide the other way I will call them
-
If I may ask---what is DEX?
The telephone book company

DR Singdaw, congratulations on your millstone!

Matt H.
SAVING GRACE once again had a jumbled sense of storytelling which isn't aided by the intrusions of that angel who swoops down at inopportune moments. And I find the dialog very hard to follow. Hunter's mushy Southern accent along with others who mumble or speak rapidly I find confusing.
We had the same problem. Half way through Keith said he couldn't take it anymore & we turned the show off.
We really wanted to turn it off with the opening scene. Was that really necessary? The message of what they were doing was fine, we didn't need to see it for the next 15 minutes.
-
I wonder what time tickets are available tomorrow?
I was wondering the same thing
-
DR Laura, my you had a beautiful walk.
JRand, I enjoyed the photo. Is Miss Blue Moon ok?
Miss Karen, Sherlock of the giant paws says thank you.
DR elmore, I hope your day went well.
-
I've never done this before, but I had to leave work early. I have a "laundry related injury" and was lucky enough to be able to see my chiropractor. (He only practices a few hours a week)
After injuring my back, I really shouldn't have hauled heavy baskets of laundry, and a huge heavy box, but at the time I didn't realize that I had done any damage. I just thought my back was sore from bending over a table, folding clothes.
I couldn't sleep very well last night---there was no position that was comfortable.
So...adjustment, ice, Aleve. It's hell getting old!
-
Edi-Is it working? Keith & I never had any luck with chiropractors. If we did he would have seen one today.
Good back vibes to you & all you need them.
-
e really wanted to turn it off with the opening scene. Was that really necessary? The message of what they were doing was fine, we didn't need to see it for the next 15 minutes.
Now I want to see it, just to know what happened. Oh, if only I had stayed home and watched TV instead of spending the evening at the laundromat!
So far, the numbers are good for GRACE. It will be interesting to see if it gets renewed. Poor HEARTLAND is a goner, I'm afraid.
But THE COMPANY is coming up soon, and it really looks good!

-
I wonder what time tickets are available tomorrow?
And, if you've purchased a membership that includes some tickets, how does that work?
-
I have a wonderful chiro---Greg went to him when he did something similar to what I did. Dr. Z was recommended by one of our clients who went to at least a dozen chiros. This was the only one who could help her (she was in a terrible car wreck) so we thought that was a good recommendation. He doesn't use much force, just little guns that tap things back into place.
This seems to be a pulled tendon and is inflamed, so it may not help but I haven't been in so long (maybe last year?) that I figured I was overdue anyway.
Dr. Z helped me tremendously when a jackass ran a red light and totalled my car...and my neck. Even then I went to work after the wreck, while the guy who hit me (whose huge car wasn't even damaged) decided to miss work and take a ride in an ambulance.
I had never been in a wreck before. Now I know I should have gone to the Dr. immediately instead of getting a ride to work. Oh well...I just felt so lucky to be OK at the time that I didn't think about what that meant, insurance-wise later...
The most "pleasant" thing about the wreck was all the cars having to dodge my car (they couldn't see that the other side of it was collapsed) screaming at me to move my car! People can be such jerks sometimes.
OK...I'm in pain and crabby...
-
And, if you've purchased a membership that includes some tickets, how does that work?
I'm guessing we will be able to reserve them tomorrow and the great unwashed will have to wait until Sept. 1st.
Membership has its privledges!
-
Now I want to see it, just to know what happened. Oh, if only I had stayed home and watched TV instead of spending the evening at the laundromat!
LOL-Let me know what you think. It isn't like the opening of the first episode, which was more graphic than we needed it to be, unless I suppose you are a fan of Holly's body ;D
-
Ginny, if you go to the NYMF website, there is a place to click for tickets. Right now it doesn't let you do anything, but I'm guessing tomorrow it will. I think you just log in and it will let you "purchase" how ever many "free" tickets you have coming to you for your membership.
-

I was at a trunk show once (where you order clothing made-to-order based on samples, ie, the "trunk") and was asked my size. I said that I was a size 6. "A small 6 or a large 6?" I suppose every woman can be a size 6, as long as there are plenty of variations!
-
;D
-
OK, the computer phase of my research-assisting is finished for now and I'm off to do some leg-work.
Bye for now!

You're going to see ACL and THEN The Brain? Oy and vey. We've got a lot to come up to!

Not only if you snooze you lose, but why would any company want a rep on an account where she had already loused up? Plus you said she was snippy. Doesn't speak well for the company at all. If it were me, I'd tell the company I didn't want her. Just my opinion, of course.

Edi, you may want to try the homeopathic remedy Arnica. I was up in Quebec several years ago and slipped on some stairs and strained my ankle. Fortunately, I was able to put ice on it almost immediately (the stairs were to a little grocery store, which carried bags of ice). I also had a tube of Arnica in my purse. I took one dose then, and another that evening. I had to fly home the next day. I was absolutely amazed that I was able to walk without any pain at all. I was flying out of Toronto and they don't have a moving walkway. I was on my feet quite a lot, but with no problem.
Arnica comes in a cream or pellets (tiny pills). It's wonderful stuff. Available at health food stores.

TOD: I saw this painting by Jackson Pollock when my sister and I went to the Met last fall. I am an art idiot, but I took a photo of it because DR Sandra has some fascination with Jackson Pollock. Probably because she thinks it looks like vomit.

If any DRs get the AZN channel, and have an interest...and really, who wouldn't...a new and very popular night time Hindi soap will begin tomorrow...it is called SAARA AKASH.
It is something about a group of Indian Air Force men and the women who love them...or, maybe it is about a group of women and the Air Force men that love them...I guess I will find out tomorrow.
Here is one of the stars of SAARA AKASH....

MBarnum I read about the sentencing of one of your Bollywood stars. How do you feel about that?
Oh, and I briefly saw Allen today. He made a delivery along our road today & quickly said hello as we were driving home.
-
You're going to see ACL and THEN The Brain? Oy and vey. We've got a lot to come up to!
Actually, I'll be surprised if we get to ACL, and I don't think I'm going to get tickets in advance. We're already doing a show a day and with sightseeing and just being in New York I have a feeling that it would just be too much to add another.

Yes, but then the tickets are "free"

Thanks for putting up with my planning confusion, it's not easy making these decisions.

Well, I think maybe my external hard drive is working. The software doesn't recognize it everytime I re-boot, so I have to do a repair. There's got to be a fix for it, but at least now my work computer is safely backed up.
I'm going home...

If not for her, well then for me!

Not sure whether the Grant thing will happen or not, which is infuriating, frankly, as we discussed this last Friday and this was the time he could do it and I cleared my sched. He'll be done in a half-hour with what he's doing, but I know him well enough that when it gets to be this hour he gets cranky and tired and I am NOT going to have that pressure on me nor am I going to speed through, because when we do these fixes I want it to be the last set we do, and if he's just speeding from fix to fix without checking the rest of the page to make sure nothing's been screwed up, it's not going to work. On the other hand, I don't know when else I'm supposed to do this prior to my trip.

My favorite painting (I am ashamed to say) I cannot rememember eithre then name of the painting or of the artist.... it sis a picture od a little boy standing before a desk and being questioned by a bunch of men looking for his father... 19th centruy I believe but it may well be earlier I stood before it for three quarters of an hour at the Met many years ago... can any I get any help from anyone whose brain cells are not giving up the ghost quickly as mine are...

It's 11 pm EST and I'm finally settled. The move, which sent me to the office around noon had several glitches I will enumerate tomorrow. By 10 pm the move was officially accomplished and we are settled. I got here to find that during the day my absent terrorist neighbor above me had an enormous bathroom leak and my bathroom floor and carpet were soaking wet. I am not happy, but i can do no more till tomorrow.
I will now catch up on the day.
-
The Wall Street Journal has been purchased by Rupert Murdoch
-
that is all
-
OOH elmore, I am gla dyou r move is accomplished and I hope the new space is to yor liking... I deeply empathize and sympathize with your wet bathroom woes.....
just be glad his leaky bathroom wasn't above your bed...or other non- water proof prized possessions!!

Here's a question for those in the know NYC HHW'ers....does Luisa and/or Matt change any portion of costume for the second act?
Yes. Matt comes back in rags which he wore in "Round and Round." Luisa does not change costume.

DR Cilla, if Sam is 19 and loves RENT, why not let her go to SPRING AWAKENING alone. I know you didn't much care for it, and you could go to LEGALLY BLONDE on your own. Or is it important to you both that you go to something together.
Excuse my butting in, but I'm just trying to match up a previous good experience with something comparable.
I just can't see someone who likes the RENT music would be interested in more standard Broadway fare like A CHORUS LINE, CURTAINS, or LEGALLY BLONDE.
-
I began my evening finishing the remaining episodes on disc 1 of EIGHT SIMPLE RULES. Either I'm getting used to the bitchy daughters, or they weren't quite as obnoxious in the last three or four episodes on the first disc. I still find the forumla for the show strained and rather weak, but I guess I can see why the show pulled in enough audience its first year to get renewed. I guess many parents do have to deal with rebellious teens. I just find these teens very off-putting.
-
Next, I watched THE BELLE OF NEW YORK. It looks splendid; maybe not quite as sharp and intensely colorful as ROYAL WEDDING, but certainly beautiful nevertheless, and I'm not quibbling. It certainly is sharper than my laserdisc of the movie.
-
But LEGALLY BLONDE is soooooo entertaining, and with its (subliminal?) message about the value of education and bringing your life experience to bear upon your educational experience - really good for you (and a 19 year old).
End of unsolicited review. :)
-
Next, I pulled out THE CLOSER - Season 2, and played the episode where the mailman discovers a dead body in a house while trying to deliver the mail. Loved this plot. It also had that fantastic scene with Ray Wise playing the attorney speaking for Brenda at Will's deposition. I didn't quite get to that part, but I'll finish the episode tomorrow.
-
I found Spring Awakening captivating, but its story is intentionally very depressing and lacking in hope.

Oh, I'm sure ALL those choices are VERY entertaining. I was just trying to equate theater music that she found enjoyable with something in the same vein. But if she's OK with more the more traditional Broadway sound (I'm currently listening to the LEGALLY BLONDE cast album in my car), go for it!
-
And one for scholar

I ended my evening of viewing with DAMAGES, and another very good episode it was. I was thankful for the recap at the beginning, however, since I had forgotten some of the characters and cliffhangers from last week's premiere.
-
I vote for Legally Blonde it was fun , funny, very entertaining and I think something that your niece would really enjoy

(was itsupposed to be a secret ballot?)

I think I am too tired to be here I am just babbling

Thanks for the suggestion Matt. I thought about Spring Awakening for her, but she said she wants something funny and fun, that is definitely NOT Spring Awakening. She likes all kinds of music. She performs standards and lots of musical theater music. She picked Legally Blonde, and is very excited to see it. I do appreciate your input though
-
Once again thanks for helping in this decision. The funny thing is, I thought immediately that she would like Legally Blonde...her favorite expression right now is OMIGOD! But she is the one who said "Well, I just don't know if that's what I want to see" I'm glad she decided to go to it. I haven't seenit and I think it will be fun.
I'm going to the lake around the middle of August, so if she's posting here by then, I'll get her to introduce herself.
ARE YOU LURKING SAM?
-
Ah, well, then I think LEGALLY BLONDE is probably the best choice. It's definitely light, fun, and upbeat. Hope you'll let us know what you both think about it after you see it.
-
And now, I think I'm going to head downstairs to bed.
Good night!

Good night ALL!

A new Leading Men Column in Playbill
http://www.playbill.com/news/article/109968.html
-
Interesting that this month's Leading Men column should be about Michael Rupert of LEGALLY BLONDE and also features a very nice mention of BK's BRAIN.
-
Meaning BK's show, not BK's actual Brain
-

Glad you clarified that....I was about to race back to read it again
-
It mentions not only BK's Brain, but "the dynamic Cason Murphy"
-
Nice job, Rodzinski!
-
Book(ey) your tickets now.
Or tomorrow, anyway.
-
Indeed, a very fine column, Rodzinski (if you're reading this)

I shall singlehandedly get us to page 10.

And here we are - on page 10.

-And anyone else in NYC too! -Oh, and Los Angeles! And other cities near you!
HAIRSPRAY SING-A-LONG! (http://www.hairspraymovie.com/blog/)

We really wanted to turn it off with the opening scene. Was that really necessary? The message of what they were doing was fine, we didn't need to see it for the next 15 minutes.
Well, they have clearly established that Grace needs Saving!
At the same time, they haven't given me any reason to wish her well.
I'm not a super prude, but neighborbors walking their dogs can see in the living picture window straight at the 52" HDTV.
SAVING GRACE will scare the animals!
I'm glad some other networks are giving us more worthy entertaiment (BURN NOTICE and DAMAGES).

But THE COMPANY is coming up soon, and it really looks good!
After Saving Grace TNT has no way to go but up!

Good Evening! Good Morning!
I'm back from the Q-Do! And what a Do it was! They held it at Dave & Buster's at Times Square. Free food - sliders, mini-pizzas, fried chicken tenders, etc. Free drinks/booze. And D&B Power Card with 75 credits on it! Needless to say, DR Jason and I got a little "ticket happy", but we had a wonderful time. And I had a great time hanging out with some of my "theatrical neighbors", and a bunch of us even shared a cab back uptown. Alas, I don't think either of us took any pictures, but a photographer from BroadwayWorld.com and Playbill.com (I think) were there, so... We may be in the background. -And it was especially nice to see almost all the original cast of Q come to the party too.
-
DR Cillaliz - If you'd like house seats for Blonde... And if you just want to decide about ACL at the last moment, I can always walk Sam in.
-
DR elmore - First of all, it's nice to hear that the move was accomplished today, and I hope you don't that many aspirin and/or pain-killers come the morning. ;)
And I hope that any water damage to your apartment is minimal. Very minimal.

Well, maybe a trip down to St. Patrick's is what is needed in this situation.
