Well, you've read the notes, the notes were bare but not minimum, and now it is time for you to post until the bare cows come home - they do love to be in the buff, you know.
-
And the word of the day is: PUKKA!
-
Do I get the honor of being the first post-BK post?
-
Ha ha! I do!

WOD: After I had that fifth slice of pizza, I wanted to PUKKA.

TOTD
The Nile Valley.
Egyptology has been fascinating to me since childhood. I've not been there primarily because of cost factors and more recently, safety issues.
I would of course like to have a leisurely tour - done in style and comfort. I am way too old to enjoy it otherwise.
(The closest I've been is avoiding pyramid selling schemes - Now of course referred to as "Network Selling" as they are oh so different! NOT)
-
I can't believe it, but I am only 20 pages from finishing "Gulliver's Travels." After that, I've got "Jane Eyre" lined up...a friend brought it to work for me this evening, so I have to read it next so I can return it to her post-haste. After that...??? I might give "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" a second try. After reading the three Highsmith books in one volume, "Strange/Norrell" seems a bit less daunting now...
-
I think I need to make about fifty posts in a row.
-
Will we never get to page two?
-
I will singlehandedly take us to page two.
-
I'm quite tired.

But that shan't stop me from having a frenzy.

I am my own frenzy.

Jo-Ann Campbell sang "Puka Puka Pants" in 1961.
Another fact that should be more widely known.
(DR JRand of course would be one of the few to already know that fact)
-
I'm going to try and get to Academy CDs to see what Bossa Nova used CDs they have - probably on Saturday.
-
Back from Goodspeed Opera House, where Bill Parry is performing as Papa in High Button Shoes. I'd never seen Bill do old-fashioned musical comedy before, and this was a real treat!
-
There's a big piece of Southern fried cheese on TCM right now - The Great Lie, with George Brent and Bette Davis.
-
I must abed - I haven't gotten much beauty rest and therefore I look like three day old melon.
-
You don't consider The Last Starfighter an old-fashioned musical comedy? Wasn't your first title High Button Starfighter.
-
I think it's great that Leona Helmsley left 12 million to her dog, Trouble. I have actually thought of providing for my pets at the time of my demise (which will hopefully be in the very far off future) I would hate to think of someone sending my beloved pets to the shelter.
-
singdaw - why does your list of NYMF show times abbreviate info for Starfighter and Brain while spelling out the info for Such Good Friends in much longer detail?
-
:)
-
DR FJL,
I think I've told you this before, but my neighborhood seems to be full of Corgis. I can think of at least 6 of them. I think of you and the boys every time I see one of them walking their owners past my house.
-
MBarnum....I am worried about Freddy...has he ever been gone this long before?

DP Colin and I had considered going to St Petersberg in 2008. (Cost has ruled that out!) We shall stick to watching "Russian Ark" instead.

Good Morning!
Well, I decided to be good guest/roommate for a while and join the party for a bit. A good bunch of people, and there happened to one guy who actually teaches roller-blading, so we're going to trade roller-blading lessons for vocal coachings! :) -Yes, I will ALWAYS wear my wrist-guards!
Of course, right now, I'm sort of being a bad roommate by not helping with some of the post-party clean-up, but since I assisted with the pre-party clean-up as well as purchased a couple of styrofoam coolers for the party, well... -And I'll probably go ahead and clean the floor tomorrow. (Since I'm the only one in the apartment who seems to really know how to properly clean a floor - I don't like a Swiffer-Wet'd floor!) ;)
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
I would like to go to either the Taj Mahal and/or the Great Wall of China.
A friend of mine just came back from India, and he said his visit to the Taj Mahal was just so much more than he every could have possibly imagined. And the whole experience of being in India, and being a part of the mass of pilgrims was truly life-changing for him. I suspect I would relish that whole adventure too.
And I've always been fascinated by the Great Wall of China. And since I like to walk.... ;)
-

She may pass DR TCB if he's not careful! :o

Now I must answer some e-mails.

Topic of The Day
I suppose Brent Barrett's bedroom doesn't count, since this is a family site.
I would love to go to Oz. I hear the natives are very friendly; and that some even speak English!
I would also love to visit the Nile Valley.

Thursday morning greetings! There are hints of cooler weather in the air here in SW Ohio - a very welcome prospect.
TOD - Paris. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person my age who's never been to Europe. One of the most romantic things DH Richard ever said to me was, "Someday, I want to take you to Paris."
-
Last night, in between memorizing verses of The Waters of March, !, we watched the season one finale of The Closer.
Sensational! :)

Well, DR Ginny, perhaps if you didn't keep insisting on Manhattan he might! :-*
Good morning, all! I have some Brain surgery today and God knows what else.
Last night was a lovely evening with DR Jose and the Gilfrys. DR Jose already posted our delightful menu, and to answer the Big Question, DRS Jane and Polly: there are applications and payments in the works. In New York real estate nothng's solid till the lease comes through.

You didn't offer them your cubicle at Toyland?
-
However, DR Ginny, I'm with you: Paris is the place. I'm currently rereading Balzac's COUSIN BETTE, and I'd like to go hang out there for a while.
I have to get back to my MySpace page now: I've got so many people on the Brain contact sheet to bother!
-
You didn't offer them your cubicle at Toyland?
I've got a long story about a Fat Conductor of Limited Talent and Limitless Ego who thought he would be living in the first Toyland at East 72nd Street!
-
Well, DR Ginny, perhaps if you didn't keep insisting on Manhattan he might! :-*
...
;D
Right now, Manhattan is do-able, while Paris is a little more out of reach. Maybe for our 30th anniversary - January 2011, not all that long from now.

I shall now be on my way to rehearsal.

94 yesterday, and we're supposed to get to 94 today as well. It's very, very dry outside, and the air is rather unbearable.
-
DR Cillaliz, the easiest thing i can think of to make for your potluck is hummus and pita! There are many recipes for hummus around (i make it quite often). Get a can of chickpeas. Add in chopped garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. I have this special hand mixer and it's made in seconds! Go to the grocery story get some pita bread and cut it. It's really good!
-
BURN NOTICE doesn't come on tonight (U.S. Open Tennis instead), so I can watch MAD MEN "live" and not worry about recording anything.
Looks like otherwise, it's going to be an all-DVD day around here.
-
BK, you say you're trying to keep rehearsal reportage in the notes to a minimum. I think people here would like to have more rehearsal info in the notes. I know i would.
-
I enjoyed the two songs from PIPPIN that I watched last night, so I may go back and run the whole thing today. The theater where I did LA CAGE is doing PIPPIN next February, but there's not much in it for me. I don't see myself as Charlemagne, so that leaves the ensemble, and I don't think I want to drive that distance to do ensemble.
-
I'm going out to lunch with friends today, but afterwards, I have some shopping to do that will keep me away from home (and viewing) for most of the afternoon. I may not get to anything until tonight.
-
TOD: "London is London" would be my choice. Ideally, I'd like to go with a theater group so we could sample both famous and not so famous shows playing at the time. I'd do the usual touristy places, too, of course.
-
MBarnum....I am worried about Freddy...has he ever been gone this long before?
He has been gone for 3 days once or twice. I don't recall him being gone this long. I am starting to get worried :-\ , but I still think he is just locked in someones garage. He has a chip in him so if he ended up at the Humane Society or picked up by whatever agency picks up squished cats off of the street...I am sure they would have notified me.
Of course if he has been cat napped, then that is something else entirely.
I am appreciating all the vibes posted as well as those sent via brainwaves!. Thanks!!

Hurry home, DC [Darn Cat] Freddy!

Gosh, there are so many places I have yet to see that I would love to visit...like DR JoseP, I would enjoy seeing India, particularly Mumbai. Egypt is another place that would be fun, as well as Hong Kong. There are still many places in Japan that I have yet to see, and given the opportunity, I would go in a snap!

As you can see from the photo above, DC Freddy has plenty of fat to live off of if'n he is stuck in someones garage or basement!

What R&H Tribute was Dame Dench a part of...is that released on commercial video?
In that "16 Going on 17" number, she looked very much like Baby Jane Hudson!

DR MBarnum - Is there a chance DC Freddy went to a basement/garage that he's "visited" before? Have you checked out his former haunts?

Inspired by the TOD:
Has anyone here ever felt "drawn" to a culture to the extent that you felt connected to it? I have, and I've often wondered whether other people's fascination with certain cultures might be an indication of a past- life experience within that culture.
Yes, I know the party line on that particular issue, especially within the Judeo-Christian teachings. BUT, that doesn't stop me from wondering why I might be so attached to these feelings.
My fascination has been Athens, Greece. In fact, all of Greece, but most particularly Athens. Athens would not fit into the TOD because I have been there many times. The first time, however, was in 1974. I was excited beyond measure to finally be going there and had no idea what to expect.
A small group of us were "touring" a play ("Come Blow Your Horn") around Southern European Task Force military sites in Italy, Greece and Turkey (I feel sure I've detailed this in a previous post).
We were slated to be in Athens for three days and the first day was free time.
My group was under the guidance of a person who had been to Athens often and we went into an area known for good shopping bargains as well as good food. In the grand scheme of things, I had no idea where in Athens I was or where the one thing I wanted to see beyond anything would be.
But I happily shopped and dined, and when folks were ready to explore a bit and see some cultural sites, I stood and said, "We've got to see the Acropolis." At this point, our guide had gone his own way and left us to fend for ourselves. Someone suggested we ask a shopowner for directions, but I was suddenly (?) headstrong and insistent that "it's that way!" I pointed, and I started walking. My group followed. I went down the street and just before the corner, I told the group we should turn left. As we turned the corner, there looming ahead of us, was one of the glories of history.
How did I know? Why did I have a voice telling me where to go? It was a pull. I've had that "pull" a couple of other times in my life that led me to exactly what I was looking for despite my not knowing it existed or where to find it.
Or, maybe it was a "push"? Who knows.
Has anyone here ever had experiences like that?
-
DR RLP.....I think your first paragraph answers the question.
-
This book is especially interesting....we sell it at the store, and I can recommend it.

Rome. The Eternal City. Rome.
Of course Troy Donahue won't be there, but still.....Rome....and a glass of Strega.
I could guide you on a tour of Rome, Jack! I wore out several pairs of shoes there (during my 9 1/2 years in Italy during the mid-70s, late 80s-early 90s).
You can sit and sip your Strega, but pardon me while I pig-out on a pizza with a robust rosso.
-
Has anyone here ever had experiences like that?
Can't say that I have. I'm envious!
-
BK, I dined at the Westway Diner a few times while I was staying at Rodzinski's apartment...and just over one block you will see a Turkish restaurant that we ate at...it was swell! And I do believe you and Cason and BJ would enjoy the cute little Turkish waitresses. I know Rodzinski did!

And what does one do when the smokehouse catches fire?
Why, you call in the fireman, of course!

Hmm... DR singdaw - That pic is actually almost explicit.. Were you able to bring that up at work?

Not that I'm complaining. And notice that I said, "almost" - although for some it might be more than "almost". Hmmm.. Looks like he's had the operation.

Our cyber Nazi doesn't block Google image searches. However, in deference to the family nature of this board, I'm happy to remove the post! Should I?

You hold everyone prisoner and send for Rose (Allison Hayes) - the dance hall girl who knows where the stolen money is buried. ;D
-
Can't say that I have. I'm envious!
While I had always been interested in ancient cultures -- and I have great fascination with the Egyptian dynasties and the Roman empire, in addition to Greece -- Greece was always a stronger pull. Of course, it wasn't until I was there that I actually felt like I had been there before.
And that's also true of London. But London, it seems to me, was a more "recent" lifetime ago.
Perhaps "Fiorenze" and "Venezia" would have a similar effect after you get there.
-
Different fireman!!
-
I think I'll bait and switch.
It'll just be our little secret. Well, not so little secret.

And I couldn't think of a finer guide to Rome. :)

Even in its explicit form, the picture was something of a bait and switch because it followed MBarnum's

and some of us thought we'd be treated to a picture of them, but no!

TOD:
Australia - visit a few of the beaches and relax.... tour its history and culture..... appreciate its beaty
British Isles namely Scotland and Ireland
I would stay at a BnB and do a bit of traveling around the country side and explore places like Newgrange, enjoy the cuntryside and perhaps take in a session at a local pub. I wuld have to see the Cliffs of Moher, go up to Donegal and perhaps Ulster.
-
I'm awake! TOD - I would love to spend some time in England. Of course, to see theatre in London, but to also see the sights and the country side. I think a 2-3 week stay would be lovely. Also, I'd like to go back to France and see more than just Paris. My good pal/mentor/conductor etc Matk, and I were just talking how we both wanted to visit Australia. Also, on my list are Tokyo Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland.
Had a dream last night that included DR Elmore. We added this transistion/tap thing in AGYG (that's internet lingo for Annie, Get Your Gun) and it's bascially done with no music (it was meant to be that way) but the dream was that Elmore had an appointment with the choreographer to score that transition. I also stumbled upon a gathering of HHW'ers in some unknown city. That's what happens when you read this site before bed!!

DR Ron, yes, I know what you mean. My experiences haven't been to a culture per se, but several times I somehow knew something that my logical mind cannot figure out HOW I knew. I can't explain it; I only know that it does indeed happen. If I can think of any specifics, I'll post them.

At one time I was quite intrigued with Iceland and wanted to visit. I'm not sure I would now, though. My father was in New Zealand during WWII and often spoke about it; I've always wanted to go there as a result. I'm almost always up for a trip to London, though I've been there several times.
Ginny, you MUST go to Paris! And, one very overlooked gem is Montreal. I adore Montreal. Very Paris-like, IMHO. (DRs Michael Shane and Jennifer may disagree.)
One day I'd like to see Scotland and Ireland. Never been to either.
-
Yes he did....Ted Andrews and the Wendingo....that is.
Where in the world is Fred The Cat?
-
I agree with DR JEANNE....I love hearing about the rehearsals.
-
JR, I will put the song in the mail this weekend.
-
I agree with DR JEANNE....I love hearing about the rehearsals.
Oh! I thought you meant about the unexplainable coincidences and knowledge. maybe you have explanations (former lives). ;)
-
I'm up...for what it's worth.
I fell asleep while trying to finish "Gulliver's Travels" and woke up in my recliner at around 2:00. I went straight to bed and just woke up a few minutes ago! I guess my body wanted some sleep... And I'm still stuffed up.
But in better news, I have hot water again, so I think I'm going to shave and shower now...
-

I suspect he ran away rather than endure another Bollywod film and face the humiliation of his master bopping around the house in his East Indian drag.

TOD: I'd like to re-visit the cities we toured when my family lived in Europe...particularly London, Paris, Salzburg and Berlin. And while we're at it, I'd like to see Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Florence, Venice, Prague for the first time.
I also want to see Australia, Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Japan, China and South Africa (such as). ;)
-
TOD (continued) - before I started working full-time out of town, I volunteered quite a bit for Middfest, Middletown's annual international festival that each year features a different country. The countries that appealed to me most after several months' immersion in study were:
Switzerland
New Zealand
Chile
This year's featured country is The Netherlands, but DH Richard and I will miss the entire event, Oct. 5-7, because we will be in New York.
My book group tries each September to read a book related to the featured country. This year's selection is Tulip Fever by Deborah Moggach.

Some GUIDELINES (http://www.petrescue.com/library/find-pet.htm) on how to find a lost cat (or dog).
-
DR Jose - have you seen the article in today's NY Times about food tours of New York City?
-
JR, I will put the song in the mail this weekend.
Thanks. ;D
-
DRJASON is back in hot water.
I knew it wouldn't take long.
-
DR Jose - have you seen the article in today's NY Times about food tours of New York City?
OH! No I haven't. However, there was an article recently in the Washington Post about food tours in NYC. I wonder if they're related. -I shall find out shortly.
-
DR Jose, someday I have hopes you will make a food tour of Portland, Oregon. Some goods eats in that town!
-
Nice article. Guess I'll have to get my itinerary set for this Fall's edition of the HHW Walking and Eating and Walking and Eating Tour. ;)
-
Thanks for that link RLP.
Next time I get a cat it is going to be an indoor only one!

DR Ron, yes, I know what you mean. My experiences haven't been to a culture per se, but several times I somehow knew something that my logical mind cannot figure out HOW I knew. I can't explain it; I only know that it does indeed happen. If I can think of any specifics, I'll post them.
I have also had the same thing... I am also drawn to different cultures more than others namely Native American and Celtic cultures...

Animal Speak is one of my favorite books! ;D
I have that one. Bobby Lake has a decent one also but it is not as good as Animal Speak

Back to reviewing my lines.

Dropped two lines last night and lost several more when Willie and Ben decided to skip around on the page.....

I have also enjoyed reading about the rehearsals and I hope they continue going well!
It sounds like it is shaping up beautifully

Jason, an acquaintance of mine lives in Prague and she has shared innumerable pictures of city and it is gorgeous. She also recently visited Vienna and shared some photos and some very interesting ones also. She also likes theatre and art, especially architecture.

Now i'm really worried about poor little Freddy. Come home vibes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
RE: the TOD. There are many places i would like to visit that i have not been to. One is Venice. Another is Hawaii. Another is Paris.

Back to reviewing my lines.
I can hear it now:
Line 1 is a scintillating bit of verbosity that enhances the mercurial nature of the character.
Line 2, however, is a major letdown. The writing is jejune and not in keeping with the character's previously delineated style.
Line 3 -- Ugh.
...and so on....
-
Dropped two lines last night and lost several more when Willie and Ben decided to skip around on the page.....
I've dropped a line or two to good friends in recent days. I hope to hear back from them soon. Neither, however, is named Willie or Ben.
I've only lost lines I was writing when I failed to save the document before closing it.
;)
-
Thanks for that link RLP.

Did you know that when Fred is back in your arms that you can reform him into a house cat?
Cats are adaptable that way.
He may not like it, of course.
He may urinate all over your kurtas and spray your Bollywood collection.
But if you want him to be a housecat, there's not much else he could do -- outside of ripping your furniture to shreds, or sucking all your breath away while you sleep -- to prevent it.
-
I enjoyed the two songs from PIPPIN that I watched last night, so I may go back and run the whole thing today. The theater where I did LA CAGE is doing PIPPIN next February, but there's not much in it for me. I don't see myself as Charlemagne, so that leaves the ensemble, and I don't think I want to drive that distance to do ensemble.
How about the Head? I hear, no wait this is a family site.
-
or sucking all your breath away while you sleep
I've heard they do that with babies.
;D

DR Ron Pulliam - My interest in mountains was piqued when I first peeked at Pike's Peak as a youngster, but it peaked when I saw pictures of Mt. Fuji.

we watched the season one finale of The Closer.
Sensational! :)
Whew! We got the finale of season 3 on DVD yesterday afternoon. By the time I finished loading it we had only 2 hours before the big :30 promo for the finale was to be seen by the head of the network. The producers' supervisor came over to "help us out" with our deadline, but, as always, succeeded in slowing things down. The 2 producers are east to work with and stay quiet while I'm working, but with 3 people it turns into a party and they are blathering on about different TV shows and it's impossible to concentrate and remember every shot I just saw. The supervisor tried 4 times to make me change the music I was using but it would have totally involved recutting the piece.
I met the deadline by 5 minutes and it was approved with no changes. And we kept the original music.
I was a crabby b&%ch during all of this and have decided that I will buy a pair of headphones to don when this happens again. (And it will!)
That said, the finale is fantastic---Fritz has some great scenes and it is a very emotionally satisfying conclusion to the season. I loved it!!
Afterwards, I was interviewed for 2 hours by a college kid from the art institute. Then I went out and drank a whole bottle of hot sake at dinner...that was just the ticket!
-
Anyway, that's why I was E&T yesterday so I'm just now reading the news about Kerry's mom---I also send my condolences.
And I sure hope I get to the end of these posts to find that DC Freddie has returned!
-
Edi
I don headphones also when I am working on genealogy or some writing when my neighbors upstairs decide they want to yell their sexual enthusiasm to the world...
If I am really annoyed, I have a lovely wolf howl I like to play
-
DR Ron Pulliam - My interest in mountains was piqued when I first peeked at Pike's Peak as a youngster, but it peaked when I saw pictures of Mt. Fuji.
I think your piqued interest would be satisfied if you peeked at the peak on a trip with Picabo Street.
-
It is getting bad here.... She is now yelling for him to do it
ETA: I am referring to my overly amorous neighbors above me
-
Has anyone here ever had experiences like that?
Yes---I was obsessed with going to Portmeirion, Wales, ever since I was in Jr. high school, and finally made it there years later. Once there, I realized that it was the combination of everything I loved---quirky architecture, breathtaking views, secret gardens, the whole mysterious atmosphere of it was everything I'd ever dreamed of and more.
While packing up the house, I found pictures taken when I went there with my DH back in '97. We showed our film at the London Latin America film festival and spent another wonderful week traveling through the Costwolds, Oxford, Ludlow and our ultimate destination, Portmeirion. I was happy when my DH said that he would like to go back there again!
-
I can't believe it, but I am only 20 pages from finishing "Gulliver's Travels." After that, I've got "Jane Eyre" lined up...a friend brought it to work for me this evening, so I have to read it next so I can return it to her post-haste. After that...??? I might give "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" a second try. After reading the three Highsmith books in one volume, "Strange/Norrell" seems a bit less daunting now...
I have read your first two books & am currently working on Strange. Strange it is & I still haven't made my mind up if I like it or not.
I hope by the time I catch up I will have read you are feeling better & have hot water.
-
I am off for a little peace and quiet before work...
-
Well, now, even I (an avowed cat non-lover) am getting worried about Freddy.
I will deal with you in NY, young lady. I hope we don't have to have words! ;D
-
DR Jason, enjoy "Jane Eyre", it's one of my favorites.
I even loove the Second city version, with Andrea Martin as "Jane Airhead", and Jack Benny's Rochester playing...Mr. Rochester!
-
I will deal with you in NY, young lady. I hope we don't have to have words! ;D
Highly allergic, DR Edi, that's all! In fact, the last time we were in NYC I was having an attack of allergy-induced asthma brought on by spending several hours in the company of a bookstore cat in Washington, DC.
-
Something tells me not to open this at work... :-\
I should have listened to my inner voice-opened it anyway ??? ;D

Cason, fun pics from last night-thanks.
From Jose:
And speaking of YouTube...
Dame Judi Dench performing an R&H classic
:D Thanks
-
I've heard they do that with babies.
;D
I have a bumper sticker that says "My cat sucked the breath out of your honor student" but I've never had the guts to put it on my car, for fear of being keyed by some honor student's parent!
-
Highly allergic, DR Edi, that's all! In fact, the last time we were in NYC I was having an attack of allergy-induced asthma brought on by spending several hours in the company of a bookstore cat in Washington, DC.
Oh, OK. You are forgiven. I was about to state that you obviously had not met the "right" cat!
-
My little French boy is highly allergic, too!
-
DR Edisaurus - LOL!!!! I have visions of the opening scene of Broadcast News with the videotape and the deadline.
-
And the headphones sound like a very smart solution to a problem that probably many people have...
-
Edi I think your bumper sticker would only make hate-haters hate them more. It is shocking how many people really do believe a cat will suck the air out of a baby.
-
Ron I haven’t felt as if I had been someplace in the past or had the same sort of connection you are talking about. The closest I came to that was when I went with Keith to visit his grandparent’s graves. Suddenly I was positive my grandparents were in the same cemetery, & there is no way I could have known this. I asked at the front desk & discovered I was correct. Interesting, we were very close to their graves when I had my sudden inspiration.
-
Boy, anything goes at a library these days!
Oh...
You're at home.
Never mind.
Actually, DR Singdaw, we do have some of that going on at the library where I work...
-
Oh, OK. You are forgiven. I was about to state that you obviously had not met the "right" cat!
I've never met a cat that didn't make me sneeze and cough.
-
Cilla-My suggestion is very similar to Jennifers, only I toast my pita for more flavor.
Buy pita, spread both sides with olive oil, slice in triangles, and toast both sides in the oven.
Humus to go with that would be nice. I have Bryan’s delicious recipe if you want I will hunt for it. We have a local restaurant that makes delicious hummus or more often than not, I buy it.
The toasted pita is always a bit hit.
-
I'm very worried about Freddy.
BIG VIBES YOU FIND HIM SAFE!!![/size]
-

Egad! It gives bottomfeeders a whole new meaning... :-\
My condolences!

I want!
If it's not too much trouble... :)

I now have a permanent bossa nova twitch.

Just boppin' along. :)
-
I'm very worried about Freddy.
This has me very distressed, as well. :(
-
Good Afternoon!
Well, I guess I should get off my duff and do something today. There's still some cleaning to do around here from last night's party - mainly the floors - but since it wasn't my party... However, I don't mind mopping... and since I will probably re-clean the floor (properly) later... ;)
But, otherwise, I think I shall just get ready to head out, and... ???
Laters...

Add glasses, and he looks much as he did when he was at a book signing/reading our esteemed one did in NYC a couple of years ago.

DR Edisaurus - LOL!!!! I have visions of the opening scene of Broadcast News with the videotape and the deadline.
Very similar, except now we send QT links instead of running down the halls and slamming into a filing cabinet. (Although yesterday that might have been preferable.)
-
DR SWW, I have no idea how recent that photo is.

I now have a permanent bossa nova twitch.
Guess you can truthfully say you can blame it on the bossa nova!

I want to see Salzburg and the Austrian Alps.
I want to see Mumbai.
I want to see The Valley of Kings, Cairo and The Nile's Delta.
I want to see Stonehenge.
I want to see Paris.
I want to see Venice.
Stateside, I want to see Tacoma.
I want to see Seattle.
I want to see San Francisco.
I want to return to Charleston, SC.
I want to see Salt Lake City.
-
Actually, DR Tomovoz, it's interesting to me that the original English language recording of that song is a female lead with the "girl" lyrics. In most subsequent performances, the singer usually changes the lyric to the version with the opposite sex of the singer.
-
And one for DR ColeSlaw:
A stick, a stone,
It's the end of the road,
It's the rest of a stump,
It's a little alone
It's a sliver of glass,
It is life, it's the sun,
It is night, it is death,
It's a trap, it's a gun
The oak when it blooms,
A fox in the brush,
A knot in the wood,
The song of a thrush
The wood of the wind,
A cliff, a fall,
A scratch, a lump,
It is nothing at all
It's the wind blowing free,
It's the end of the slope,
It's a beam, it's a void,
It's a hunch, it's a hope
And the river bank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the end of the strain,
The joy in your heart
The foot, the ground,
The flesh and the bone,
The beat of the road,
A slingshot's stone
A fish, a flash,
A silvery glow,
A fight, a bet,
The range of a bow
The bed of the well,
The end of the line,
The dismay in the face,
It's a loss, it's a find
A spear, a spike,
A point, a nail,
A drip, a drop,
The end of the tale
A truckload of bricks
in the soft morning light,
The shot of a gun
in the dead of the night
A mile, a must,
A thrust, a bump,
It's a girl, it's a rhyme,
It's a cold, it's the mumps
The plan of the house,
The body in bed,
And the car that got stuck,
It's the mud, it's the mud
Afloat, adrift,
A flight, a wing,
A hawk, a quail,
The promise of spring
And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the promise of life
It's the joy in your heart
A stick, a stone,
It's the end of the road
It's the rest of a stump,
It's a little alone
A snake, a stick,
It is John, it is Joe,
It's a thorn in your hand
and a cut in your toe
A point, a grain,
A bee, a bite,
A blink, a buzzard,
A sudden stroke of night
A pin, a needle,
A sting, a pain,
A snail, a riddle,
A wasp, a stain
A pass in the mountains,
A horse and a mule,
In the distance the shelves
rode three shadows of blue
And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the promise of life
in your heart, in your heart
A stick, a stone,
The end of the road,
The rest of a stump,
A lonesome road
A sliver of glass,
A life, the sun,
A knife, a death,
The end of the run
And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the end of all strain,
It's the joy in your heart.

I want to see Salzburg and the Austrian Alps.

If DR SlingBlade is feeling adventurous:
É pau, é pedra,
é o fim do caminho
É um resto de toco,
é um pouco sozinho
É um caco de vidro,
é a vida, é o sol
É a noite, é a morte,
é um laço, é o anzol
É peroba do campo,
é o nó da madeira
Caingá, candeia,
é o Matita Pereira
É madeira de vento,
tombo da ribanceira
É o mistério profundo,
é o queira ou não queira
É o vento ventando,
é o fim da ladeira
É a viga, é o vão,
festa da cumeeira
É a chuva chovendo,
é conversa ribeira
Das águas de março,
é o fim da canseira
É o pé, é o chão,
é a marcha estradeira
Passarinho na mão,
pedra de atiradeira
É uma ave no céu,
é uma ave no chão
É um regato, é uma fonte,
é um pedaço de pão
É o fundo do poço,
é o fim do caminho
No rosto o desgosto,
é um pouco sozinho
É um estrepe, é um prego,
é uma conta, é um conto
É uma ponta, é um ponto,
é um pingo pingando
É um peixe, é um gesto,
é uma prata brilhando
É a luz da manhã,
é o tijolo chegando
É a lenha, é o dia,
é o fim da picada
É a garrafa de cana,
o estilhaço na estrada
É o projeto da casa,
é o corpo na cama
É o carro enguiçado,
é a lama, é a lama
É um passo, é uma ponte,
é um sapo, é uma rã
É um resto de mato,
na luz da manhã
São as águas de março
fechando o verão
É a promessa de vida
no teu coração
É uma cobra, é um pau,
é João, é José
É um espinho na mão,
é um corte no pé
É um passo, é uma ponte,
é um sapo, é uma rã
É um belo horizonte,
é uma febre terçã
São as águas de março
fechando o verão
É a promessa de vida
no teu coração

[just kidding, DR td]
Eleven times in its Roadshow engagement. . .
Several times a day when it went into second run houses.
At various and sundried repertory houses during the 70s and 80s.
Too many times on home video to count. (Including the BetaMax edition from Magnetic Video).

And now a literal translation of the Portuguese.......

Today, at the store, a pair of two-year-old twins made an appearance. They entertained their mother by pulling large inflated balls from a container and bouncing them. Unfortunately for their mother, they insisted on bouncing the balls in different directions away from the container. It was easy to see how the mother has maintained her petite figure.

Just as hot and still as I expected it to be when I went out to lunch and then shopping.
And the shopping was frustrating since several of the items in the list were sold out with no rainchecks. Bah!

I did have time this afternoon to watch PIPPIN in its entirety on the DVD. It's a very nice remembrance of the show. If ONLY I had a tenor voice, I'd KILL to try for the Leading Player. Alas, t'was not to be.

Tonight WILL be Val Kilmer IS Moses. I didn't get any DVDs in the mail, so it might as well be that.

This is a very lazy house, what with der Grampa away ladsitting. I think it is time for a nap.
Fried chicken tonight.

DR Jane: Actually, your tale is very much like what I was referring to.
Oh, I know the first part had to do with a past life association, I think, but there are other forces at work that push us toward something from time to time.
Your feeling that your grandparents were buried in that same cemetery and then your finding out that they were and that their graves had been close to those of Keith's should have had you in chills!!!
It was probably your grandparents saying, "Hey! We're HERE!"

Therefore, I have added a day onto my time off and will be taking a five-day weekend, Thursday-Tuesday.

Just wanted to share this...
This article was printed this past Sunday in Grand Forks about my 3xgreat aunt, Mary Schumacher, turned 109 yesterday. Her sight if failing but her mind is still quite good.
http://www.grandforksherald.com/articles/index.cfm?id=48188§ion=Community (http://www.grandforksherald.com/articles/index.cfm?id=48188§ion=Community)
Wow! Your 3xgreat aunt has lived in three different centuries!! That's really cool!

Topic of the Day: I'd love to go to Ireland and back to Germany. I only lived there for about three years when my dad was in the army and we left when I was seven years old. I haven't been back since. I'd love to go to Australia and...actually, a whole lot of places. :D

Thanks, Sing, for trying to educate unsavvy folks like me. I think I'll stick to standard English. Will there be anyone left to communicate with??

Your feeling that your grandparents were buried in that same cemetery and then your finding out that they were and that their graves had been close to those of Keith's should have had you in chills!!!
When I have these feelings, this "knowledge", it's a gentle knowing, not scary at all. I somehow just KNOW. I have no idea HOW I know, but I do. It feels perfectly natural.

Cillaliz, have you read this article? Foreign-Born Widows Face Deportation (http://www.comcast.net/news/national/index.jsp?cat=DOMESTIC&fn=/2007/08/30/751546.html). Do you think that this might be something that you'll have to deal with?

It is getting bad here.... She is now yelling for him to do it
ETA: I am referring to my overly amorous neighbors above me
Dakota, next time it happens, record them and when they're asleep (or at least not engaged in the aforementioned noisy activity), replay the recording at a very loud volume!!
;D

And I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this:
A Very Happy Birthday to DF(ormer)R Hisaka!!

Right now, Manhattan is do-able, while Paris is a little more out of reach. Maybe for our 30th anniversary - January 2011, not all that long from now.
Thirty years in 2011, Ginny? Were you a child bride?

Good Evening!
Back from running errands. And back also from Cold Stone Creamery. :) I belong to their Birthday Club, and since I had received my coupon via e-mail for a free Love It!-sized Original Creation, well...
Ice cream is good. Ice cream with some mix-ins is better. Free ice cream with mix-ins is the best. :)

If I win the lottery, it's off to Carrick-McCross in County Monaghan, Eire, where I'll visit the graves of lots of McCabes and Carolines and Wards and who knows else; then tour the rest of Ireland, with a stop in London for lots of theater before my next(imagined)trip...Speaking of Ireland, on Atc, celebrating Shirley Booth's birthday, I was reminded we owe Mr K. thanks for getting JUNO on CD; I also recently saw The GREAT LIE; Mary Astor won a supporting oscar for it, but said she won for the wrong film; She wanted the Award for MALTESE FALCON

DR MattH - I just got my final schedule for the upcoming Fall SETC conference in Charlotte next weekend. I'll be coming in Friday, 9/7, night - I may try to come in earlier if my rehearsal gets cancelled/postponed/etc. On Saturday, I'm only scheduled to play from 9:00-Noon. Sunday: 9:00-4:30ish. Monday: 9:00-1:30-ish. -Then I'm flying back Monday night.
If you'd be interested in sitting in on the auditions on Sunday or Monday (Saturday is a college day), I can arrange for a pass for you - like DR edisaurus did in Atlanta back in March. Otherwise, if you want to meet up for a meal - since it looks like I'll have plenty of free time this time round - just drop me a line.
-
...And now I'm wondering how long I can hold out from re-cleaning the floor. My roomie cleaned it earlier. Sort of. She sprayed some 409 on the floor, then attached some paper towels to a Swiffer broom, to wipe things up. Then she attached more paper towels and, more or less, damp mopped the whole thing. I tried to tell her to damp-mop first to get all the major dirt up - instead of just redistributing the dirt. There's a weird "dullness" to the floor right now, and the smell of bleach is still quite present in the air too. So... We'll see.
But at least she cleaned. :)

I hope everyone has taken a look at today's "Gold Box" offerings at Amazon.com.
There's no time like the present to take advantage of those spiffy barstools.
And note, please: They've begun offering limited-duration "lightning deals". Right now, it's a DVD of "When Harry Met Sally" for $5.99. But time is flying. Once time is up, the old deal is gone and a "new" deal is in the offing.
Be still my heart.

[SHADOW=COLOR,GLOW WIDTH,#CHARACTERS WIDE] I BLAME SINGDAW! [/SHADOW]
-
Our CBS and FOX affiliates are airing NFL football tonight during prime time....and, thus, I won't be seeing "Big Brother 8" or anything else, I guess, unless I want to watch 2nd string tryouts for the Raiders and 49ers.
-
[SHADOW=COLOR,GLOW WIDTH,#CHARACTERS WIDE] I may as well blame singdaw for that, too! [/SHADOW]
-
Oh dear. We came home, and the house is quite warm. We think the AC quit working.
-
I want!
If it's not too much trouble... :)
I'll catch up and then go look for it.
-
Back from rehearsal and two meetings and boy are my arms tired.
-
Had another really fun rehearsal today - blocked some scenes (we're finding some really fun new things, plus having to come up with solutions to other things because of the radical new set design - it's a challenge, but it does force you to be really creative. I'll have more detail in the notes.
-
Speaking of details, I had some very sweet e-mails today from dear lurkers, plus the several nice posts about the rehearsal reportage, so I'll keep on with it.
-
DR Jane: Actually, your tale is very much like what I was referring to.
Oh, I know the first part had to do with a past life association, I think, but there are other forces at work that push us toward something from time to time.
Your feeling that your grandparents were buried in that same cemetery and then your finding out that they were and that their graves had been close to those of Keith's should have had you in chills!!!
It was probably your grandparents saying, "Hey! We're HERE!"
Maybe they were calling me. I'm sure my mother did the day I couldn't find my mother's grave.
I didn't have chills. First I was thrilled at the discovery and then somewhat emotional to be there. I only have one small memory of my grandfather & none of my grandmother. My father never visited their graves, yet they have two large beautiful tombstones. I also found out my grandmother died after my grandfather, which was a shock & is another story.
-
Ron I haven’t felt as if I had been someplace in the past or had the same sort of connection you are talking about. The closest I came to that was when I went with Keith to visit his grandparent’s graves. Suddenly I was positive my grandparents were in the same cemetery, & there is no way I could have known this. I asked at the front desk & discovered I was correct. Interesting, we were very close to their graves when I had my sudden inspiration.
Serendipity is a powerful thing as is a sixth sense....
-
Actually, DR Singdaw, we do have some of that going on at the library where I work...
I have seen / heard students making out in study rooms and in the periodical area.
-
Singdaw I saved the NetSpeak to read later.
Jose you have such "interesting" roomies.
-
I was thinking about going out for some chow but I'm just too zonked - wouldn't get anywhere before 8:45 and wouldn't get back before 10:00 and I have to get to bed early.

Keith & I were told not to kiss in the hallways of Hamilton High.

Thirty years in 2011, Ginny? Were you a child bride?
:-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
DR TCB, you are too, too kind! Actually, I was a very old (according to the college students who worked for me at the time) bride - age 30.
-
Here's hoping DR Laura has air conditioning - I've been in Phoenix in the summer and wouldn't want to be without it.
Along those lines, we've turned our AC off and opened the windows - s'posed to get down in the 50's tonight.
-
It's out.
-
Oh, DR Laura, I'm sorry.

Keith & I were told not to kiss in the hallways of Hamilton High.
I once had a young lady who would serenade me in the hallways of Fox Chapel High, with a guitar and Kenny Loggins songs. . . . ;D ??? :-\

I found the Ted Andrews book on past lives at Borders this evening; also picked up The Puppini Sisters' cd, "Betcha Bottom Dollar" which in addition to the swing standards contains a brilliant version of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights."
-
Thanks, DR Ginny. Sometimes it happens.
-
Once when I visited Fort Sumter, I was unable to move for a five minute period or more, the only time in my life I can state that I was glued to the spot, as I felt that there were welcoming forces holding me there, embracing me and ultimately leading me to a closed off area of the fort which used to be used as a hospital area (it was under reconstruction at the time).
Just thought I'd share.
DR Jane - Dixie's *growth* is back in her face, but, any time the camera is ready, she turns away. . .Garbo, indeed!

DR DearReaderLaura - you should go to the nearest Starbucks and get yourself a venti frapppuccino - the blueberry cream is excellent.

A few Nay sayers on here but I really enjoy the CD.
I bought it after hearing "Wuthering Heights". It's the first time I have ever understood Kate's words! "Heart of Glass" is great too.

I just came back from somewhere I had never been before, Philadelphia PA. We stayed for three days and we saw the King Tut exhibit in the Franklin Science museum, as well as exploring the rest of the museum
We saw the Librty Bell,
toured Independence Hall, Franklin Court, Besty Ross's home, the US Mint as well as "Riding the Duck' (an vehicle built for WWII , it looks like a boat with wheels. First we toured "The Historical Mile" and then we drove into the Delaware River and had a lovely afternoon cruise down the river.
We also took a London Double decker bus tour of the city.
We ate at City Tavern, the oldest Tavern in Philadelphia. It was frequented by many members of the Continental Congress inclsuing Mr. Adams, Mr Jefferson and Dr. Franklin and even Paul Revere stopped int here when he was in town.
We had a great time in our country's (former) capital!!

But did you see DR DtM.
Priorities!

DR Franklin does not seem to post here much at all!

unless that is DR Ben.

Speaking of the Closer. Here in canada they have always showed it starting the beginning of september.
Only the network it has been on (Global tv, well their CH sister station) is being turned into an E channel starting September. So no the Closer on their sched. I assume they have the rights. I wonder if there is any way to find out if any other station will be airing the show in Canada.
For some reason TNT is one station we do not get here.
-
DR Laura vibes for a quick AC recovery. Ours was out in the bedroom for several days. I didn't mind it nearly as much as Keith did.
We dropped 20 degrees after our storm.

Bryan's Hummus:
1 can garbanzo beans (chick peas)
Save a little of the liquid in case you need it
About ½ juice of lemon
¼ cup tahini-sometimes called sesame butter (decent, not stuff in the can or too watery) stir before using
Clove or two of garlic
Salt to taste, maybe ½ teaspoon
Can add a little cayenne pepper or paprika
Blend all the ingredients
If too thick add a little of the reserved liquid
Best if let sit in frig overnight but can be eaten immediately
Drizzle a little olive oil on top & sprinkle with a little sweet paprika or chili powder before serving.
Bryan likes to put spices on his pita when he toasts it, & he only toasts one side on a cookie sheet while I skip the spices & toast both sides on a cookie sheet.
-
DR Cillaliz, the easiest thing i can think of to make for your potluck is hummus and pita! There are many recipes for hummus around (i make it quite often). Get a can of chickpeas. Add in chopped garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. I have this special hand mixer and it's made in seconds! Go to the grocery story get some pita bread and cut it. It's really good!
Thanks DR Jennifer...I've been thinking about making hummus
-
But did you see DR DtM.

No, but I was thinking about him all the time, if I knew his last name I would have looked him up inthe phone book

DR, RonP re: Big Brother (no spoilers).
You should check to see if your CBS station is showing it at 1 or 2am. I think most are.
Also i'd check out BBAD if you get ShowTime Too (or the feeds if you get them).
-
Cilla-My suggestion is very similar to Jennifers, only I toast my pita for more flavor.
Buy pita, spread both sides with olive oil, slice in triangles, and toast both sides in the oven.
Humus to go with that would be nice. I have Bryan’s delicious recipe if you want I will hunt for it. We have a local restaurant that makes delicious hummus or more often than not, I buy it.
The toasted pita is always a bit hit.
Thanks DR Jane. If you find the recipe that would be great. Otherwise I have found a number of recipes, I'll pick one and go for it. The toasted pita is a great idea.
-
Oh and re: Big Brother
(no who won HOH spoilers, but simply what the challenge is).

It's actually something new that looks quite interesting. They all (eric, dani, dick, zach) have to fill a large pot with a small tea cup. It could take hours (which is why i think it could be cool to watch BBAD or the feeds).
-
'night.
-
It has cooled down to 103, and there are dark clouds in the distance. Maybe we'll get rain to cool us down; of course, that will make it more humid.
-
Cillaliz, have you read this article? Foreign-Born Widows Face Deportation (http://www.comcast.net/news/national/index.jsp?cat=DOMESTIC&fn=/2007/08/30/751546.html). Do you think that this might be something that you'll have to deal with?
Hmm, I hadn't seen this. It really is interesting. If you get divorced in the first 2 years but can prove it was a real marriage not just for a green card you can still get residency, but if he dies you don't. That just doesn't seem right
-
DR Vixmom - Sounds like you had a fantastic trip to Philly. Yea! :)
DR Jane - Thanks so much for the recipe!!!!
***THROWIN' THE BLAME VIBES*** to DR RLP
Where, oh where, can our dear Freddy be? :(

Thanks DR Jane for the recipe.

Time to leave work.

I said that I would mow my sister's lawn. :P

Well I had quite a busy evening. I took all the drywall off the walls in my basement room that I'm redoing. It is all now piled up outside the door where it will be picked up and taken to the dump tomorrow morning. I was looking lovely in my goggles and mask all covered in dry wall dust. Charming. It was a lot of work, but underneath is a poured cement room. I am not going to put up new sheet rock, which means I need the electrician to come before I can do anything else.
So other than cleaning, there isn't anything else I can really do until he comes which won't be until Tuesday. Which will give me time to plan and figure out exactly what I'm going to do with the room. What fun
-
Oh DR George, that cat dance made me laugh!
Which, I really needed 'cause there is still no sign of Freddy!
-
I really must decide it is spelled Freddy or Freddie. I think Freddy.

We did have a little rain (very little) around 7:30 this evening, but it didn't cool things down much.
-
I began my evening watching another CLOSER episode from On Demand. It was the one with the serial killer who branded the women's feet. As enjoyable as usual.
-
DR Michael...have you looked around the neighborhood? Called the local shelter? Even though he has a chip, maybe they haven't checked it. Have you posted signs in the neighborhood? I know I always look closely at signs posted and keep an eye out for the animals.
-
Yeah! Tomorrow is Friday....this week flew by!

I do like the "Serious" pic of TCB.

Iowa Court rules same sex couples can marry
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/08/30/iowa.samesexmarriage/index.html
The judge made the exact point I always try to make; that any couple has the right to enter into a civil marriage. If churches oppose same sex marriages, so be it; don't allow them to marry in your church. But there is a separation of church and state; and whatever the churches opinion is, should in no way interfere in a person's civil rights.

Next was Val Kilmer IS Moses in THE TEN COMMANDMENTS: THE MUSICAL. Oh, dear, where to start.
Well, it was a GIGANTIC production. And very expensive looking. My heart ached when I saw money spent on this and taped, scored, etc. so expensively, and we have no video version of classics like FOLLIES. There ought to be a law!
I don't know why I wasn't expecting it, but I had no idea it was a pop opera. Ugh! My least favorite style of musical. On the other hand, I did like a few of the melodies. But those LYRICS!!!! Someone needs a rhyming dictionary. The WORST rhymes I've heard outside of rap lyrics. Such lazy, clumsy rhymes. Gag!
The principal singers had super powerful voices. Yes, they were miked (hate those wrap around face mics), but these singing actors had range and power.
And Val Kilmer surprised me. Yes, he was BY FAR the weakest of the principal singers, but he didn't embarrass himself as a singing actor, so I guess that's a plus for him.
I HATED that the DVD wasn't enhanced for widescreen TVs. I mean, if you're going to shoot it in 16:9, why not do an anamorphic transfer while you're at it?
-
That's a squirrel in the middle of the group!

Next came 16 BLOCKS. I got this DVD for Christmas last year, and I've watched it three or four times. It's an excellent and underrated litttle thriller. For the first time, I looked at the alternate ending for the movie. I MUCH prefer the ending they used in the theatrical release.
-
Okay, just one more.
I believe that is Cason drinking, with BJ and Jose watching.

I finished my evening with MAD MEN.
Oh, my, Don's marriage looks to be slowly crumbling. And Pete's marriage is looking none too happy either.

I guess I'll head down now to get ready for bed.

As for the scoring, I think it was just a pit of ten players, four(!) of which were on keyboards. And one of the drummers was on a drum machine!
