Well, you've read the notes, the notes were off and running, and now it is time for you to post until the running cows come home.

Hmm...bad casting for The King and I will take some thought. So, on that note (A-sharp), I'm off to bed.
Good night, all.

Darn, I missed the cut for posting for Wednesday. Saw the tour of The Drowsy Chaperone and I'm still laughing and crying. So good that I'm going back and taking the DP and our pal Marc on Saturday. Such a great show.
Thats all for now. Going to read yesterdays notes and catch up on the posts.

Good Morning.
What are Matthew and Laura doing up at this hour? It's 4:10am in New York.
I'm up because I'm going to the airport in a couple of hours.
As I said yesterday, i won't be around much until Sunday night or Monday morning but
"If you can see me, I'll be there" (an Evening Primrose reference).
Goodnight all you people out there in the dark. See you on Sunday.

I'm still up. LONG rehearsal this eve, still kinda coming down off it. Also, coffee at 8:00pm, always seems like a good idea, until now!

Good morning, all! Back to Lady of the Slipper. The primary question is, are my NYPL notes here or at Toyland?
Little else is going on today. At 4:30, I'm going to see JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH in 3-D before it vanishes. I'm also wondering why it's taking a certain singer two months to pay me for my work!
There was some good news yesterday: while we haven't sold my dad's property, it keeps going up in value because of the new hospital behind it and the 3.5 acres are now worth $275,000/acre. The State of Ohio bought 0.5 acres 10 feets of land from the property edging the highway to widen Route 122, so my brothers and I just made $53,000, which we will divide three ways when he payment's made in 4-6 weeks. So, if I don't work the remainder of the year, I'll be fine. Send that check soon, boys!

Thursday morning greetings! Thanks for all the "goodnights" after I wimped out last night. I'm doing OK with the parking spot, but I think for a while I just need to go right home after work. The evenings I've been most tired have been when I've done errands on the way home.
-
DR Elmore - excellent news about your father's property! Now, if property values near the old hospital were likewise going up...
-
A ridiculous question deserves a ridiculous answer.
How about Paris Hilton as Anna and Abe Vigoda as the King?
-
Better still:
Kathy Bates and Woody Allen.
-
Sarah Silverman and Mel Brooks?
Isn't the King Jewish?

Would you believe that the genesis of my 1994 movie, CHEYENNE WARRIOR, was THE KING AND I?
I wanted to do THE KING AND I as a western.
It starred Kelly Preston and Pato Hoffmann.
-
DR Jane, re: your comments last night about my niece's hives.
I don't think it was any type of summer plant. It was raining all day and she did not go outside to play.
As for food, she was at daycare and they don't usually give them anything that could cause allergic reactions. But my sis will ask if they ate anything different. The funny thing is that my niece hates pizza (won't eat it). But they let the kids make themselves pizzas (that they called pizza). And without the sauce on it, my niece liked it!
The doctor said that unless it is a serious reaction to something, we will probably never know what the cause was.
-
Good morning!
I had hoped for cooler temperatures today (which was promised), but this morning was warm and quite still. NOT cooler. We may get rain this afternoon which will likely help these sizzling temps, but right now, we're slated for a high of 91 today.

>>Then I had to do a couple more errands, and I had my one and only meal at Islands – a burger (much smaller than they used to make) and a few fries. That’s all I ate all day.
And that's why it's taking you so long to lose weight, and that's why, as soon as you go off your diet, you will regain any weight you lost and probably 10 pounds as well.
By eating only 1,000 calories a day, your body thinks its starving and is conserving as much energy as possible. And when you start eating more than 1,000 calories a day, your body is going to take all those "extra" calories and put them into fat and make sure they don't go away.
I know it sounds paradoxical, but if you'd eat 2,000 calories a day, you'd lose just as much weight, and you'd have a much better chance of keeping it off.
No need to take my word for it. Talk to your nutritionist.

BURN NOTICE
MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST
-
I have five more episodes of DEXTER to get through today, and I should have no trouble doing it. I looked ahead at what special features are on the fourth disc (which has only the DEXTER season finale taking up space).
There are two episodes of BROTHERHOOD on it. Does anyone watch this series?
There's an interview with Michael C. Hall.
I believe it said there were also two episodes of season two of THE TUDORS (or either a free pass to view the first two episodes free on-line).
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up.... And I guess - at least according to the TV commercials - I'm still currently on my "Stay-cation". ;)
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
First of all, I actually liked Donna Murphy's Anna. -However, I did giggle each time they had to push the set drops back in order for her to walk by in those huge hoop skirts. -And, yes, she also was a bit "pitchy" - and that was before "AI". ;)
-
These are some very scary KING AND I castings.

The doctor said that unless it is a serious reaction to something, we will probably never know what the cause was.
I can relate to that! I've had severe reactions and had all the pin pricks on my back. They still have no idea what I'm allergic to.
-
Thanks DR SINGDAW. I guess we are ready. We are SOLD OUT SOLD OUT SOLD OUT for opening, which hasn't happened for awhile!
But it is a fun show and it does rain - and out of ****, I would give it a ***.
-
Ben is a traveling man just like Ricky Nelson.
-
Back to work. Both of the phone books are here at the same time for the yearly advertising. I know I have to do it, but man it's expensive. I wish they wouldn't ask me on the same day so I can see what it is total. I need to know that, but it's really sad.
-
Put your face on the back cover, DR CILLA LIZ - that's only about $20,000 a month!

My niece also did wear a new raincoat yesterday that had not been washed. But the doc did not think it was that.
Apparently most kids get hives. And the doc said they usually do not find out what caused it.

Oh hey:

Lady Thiang - Nina Garcia
Kralohome - Tim Gunn
Whoever makes the best costumes can play the other parts.
-
MBARNUM has an additional package on its way to him.
-
I never saw Donna Murphy's Anna, but the Forbidden Broadway spoof of that production will eternally live in my mind (They had the actress playing Fosca-as-Anna, complete with huge mole, and sang "Shall we Boink?" lampooning the production's apparent oversexed subthemes, while throwing in a "La Bamba" reference or two.)
I don't know the roles well enough to do these "worst cast" things, but Carol Channing's Anna would be one that would scare me...
-

I really liked BROTHERHOOD and mentioned it a couple of times on HHW.

Any of the many "Puppet" songs could be song of the day.
And coincidentally, as I load the dailies for CLOSER episode 407, "Puppet" is the name of a suspect!
-
So, George W is going to give our Olympic Team a pep talk? That should be worth a few cents. I also love the fact that a proponent of the "patriot act" is kicking China about their approach to civil rights.
On such jollity, I think I will hit the NYPL at Lincoln Center: two BABES scrapbooks are now missing and where is Jeremy Megraw who can sort this all out for me? Summers. Oy!

I am waiting to hear from the game warden to see if my proposal is acceptable.
But I thought you were already married!

You DO have to be married to have children, right? At least that's what my mom always told me...

I'm awake! TOD - funny, 2 local theatre groups that I work for (or have in the past) are doing The King and I next season. I think I'm slated to work on one. I have never seen the show either on stage or on screen. Won't be able to avoid it any longer, I suppose. Also, I might want to polish off the nylon string guitar as there is no real keyboard part in the orchestration. I have a year....
-
DR Jennifer - It's a good final four this year. I'd be happy for any - and all - of them.
-And why are you hatin' on Courtney? ;)
I think she's nice as a person. But i've just never been fond of her dancing.
She was decent with gev. But i just thought chelsie and kharington were much stronger.
It is a good F4. Although i would have been much happier with will in it.

No need to take my word for it. Talk to your nutritionist.
I don't think BK is eating only 1000 calories a day.
But i do agree with some of what you wrote. The whole thing about the body thinking it is starving itself is well documented.
I actually think the reason BK is losing weight now is because of the jogging more than what he is eating.
I personally am not into calorie counting at all. I think it's more important to eat healthier foods. And to eat at least 3 times a day.

HA! I just did a run of Thoroughly Modern Millie and played the harp book on synth. One might think that sounds easy, (yet, rather boring) but it's not! I had a keyboard with a glissando setting and i used that for the big "sweeps", but the rest, I played. I realized it takes a lot of finesse to make a synth sound like a harp. It was also a good way to catch up on crosswords. (Yawn.....) It was like... play a gliss, count rests, play a gliss, count rests. TACIT a number, do a crossword.... Repeat.
-
TOD -
Nicole Kidman, Ewan MacGregor...What?.. Oh, never mind.
-
DR Matthew - Yep, "playing harp" on a synth is most definitely tricky - and boring at times.
*But it could be worse... You could be playing synth timpani... For a Mozart opera. ;)

Has anyone looked at the page for Scent Of Mystery and ascertained that everything is working properly. And I will tell you, snooze/lose on this title, and the booklet is worth it alone.

DR Edisaurus:
Oh, I know people -- women, most particularly -- who speak like Holly and Kyra do in their respective shows.
Each method of speaking requires some internal adjustments for the listener, but once acclimated, both can be "handled." I find the stilted syntax much more difficult to listen to than "sh" sounds -- I keep mentally fixating on the staccato-like vocal process involved.
None of the women I've known who speak as Kyra does in "The Closer" are remotely as interesting as Sedgewick and tend toward preciousness rather than substance.
Of the women who speak a la Ms. Hunter, I can only say they scare the hell out of me, for the most part.

Last night's "Project Runway":
A somewhat interesting challenge, especially given that Apollo Ohno was a judge. He made some very interesting comments, too.
The winner was my second choice. Terri's outfit was my pick for best, and I'm certain it was a toss-up for the judges. The winner, however, works hard and deserved the recognization, IMO.
Fully concur with MattH about the bottom two. The right person went home, although a double-elimination might have been just fine given the survivor's attitude and cluelessness about the challenge.

Oh, I didn't know about those! (Until my cousin became pregnant at 15!)

Back from a two-and-a-half mile jog and a brisk two-mile walk. The walk, as was the case yesterday, was really the hard part - my back goes berserk. I'm fine now and must shower and be on my way to lunch with former dear reader Hisaka.

I got three Disney Blu-rays in the mail today: NIXON and the Miley Cyrus concert film (which I have been expecting for days) and SMART PEOPLE (which I had forgotten was coming out on Blu-ray). Since SMART PEOPLE comes out on the 12th, I'll have to do that disc tomorrow. I had wanted to get started on NIXON, but that disc doesn't come out until the 19th.

I spent most of the afternoon with DEXTER, disc 3. I watched four more episodes, all mesmerizing. But HD sure spoils you. Watching these on sDVD after having seen them in HD on Showtime is something of a trial since some scenes are very sharp and others rather soft and undefined.
-
I have the season finale episode left on DEXTER, and then I'll get to the bonus features.

I did have time to skim through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Luke was in one scene (split into two pieces) but that was very early in the broadcast and then nothing. Not in the previews for tomorrow.

I flipped on MOJO-HD and saw they were showing BONNIE AND CLYDE, and it did look fabulous. I have never owned this on any home video format, and I know Warners released the HD some months back. I'll check out what they're charging for it, and if it's reasonable, I'll bite. It's a great movie, of course, but I don't ever remember it looking this good.

One of our departmental secretaries volunteered to clean out the refrigerator that we all share. It's pretty near my desk and she's been bringing specimens to me, saying, "What do you think this used to be?" People can be such pigs sometimes and Sherry is a real trouper to do this awful job.

There are so many bad casting choices from DRs where I have no idea whatsoever who the people are. I guess that is because I watch so little TV and have never watched an "Idol" type show.

George, I had to clear my cache and history before it would show up - did you try that? It's definitely there, because orders have been coming in all morning. One person, undoubtedly an eBay speculator, just ordered twenty copies.
I did clear out my cache and history and I completely closed all browsers, but it still had the same problem...at "www.kritzerland.com" there was no "Scent of Mystery." At "http://www.kritzerland.com/home.html" (with the "/home.html" as part of the URL), there it is. VERY strange.
Maybe when I get Microsoft Vista here at work (hopefully, today...if not, then next week), it'll work.

I personally am not into calorie counting at all. I think it's more important to eat healthier foods. And to eat at least 3 times a day.
It doesn't matter what you count, if you consume more calories than you burn up - you gain; eat less calories than you burn up, you lose. "Healthy foods" have little to do with wain gain/loss - a high calorie "health diet" will add pounds and a low calorie "unhealthy" diet will lose pounds.

How did she explain that "unwed mothers" anomaly, then? :)
In the moral days of yore, there were no "unwed mothers" - women with "difficulties" were whisked out of public view until the "problem" was "resolved".

When I was at the Naval Academy a fellow midshipman got his girl "in that way" - he refused to marry her (he would have been booted out had he done so) and her family (Texas) threw her out. We got her a plane ticket to DC and my future Mother-In-Law picked her up at the airport, put a wedding ring on her finger, and took her home to stay (and arranged for the baby's private adoption). Even after graduation the louse of a mid refused to have anything to do with her. Things worked out for the girl - she went back to Texas, married a soon-to-be successful Oklahoma business man and moved to Oklahoma city and raised a lovely family.

DR Jose joined me for another round of JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH and it was nice to have his company. We have another date on Sunday to see Skip's oneact musical.
My dance card is full this month:
Skip on Sunday
Donna Lynne Champlin's act on Monday night
Fringe Festival on Friday and there are a couple of other shows in the Festival that I want to catch
Back to Lady of the Slipper, although I would rather have gone for a margarita with my movie companion.

About ninety minutes away from our rehearsal.

I've been getting a volley of e-mails from an online dealer - I think he's going to take fifty or more of Scent Of Mystery - I'm hoping he does so in the next few minutes, just because that would be GRAND!

Good morning, all! Back to Lady of the Slipper. The primary question is, are my NYPL notes here or at Toyland?
Little else is going on today. At 4:30, I'm going to see JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH in 3-D before it vanishes. I'm also wondering why it's taking a certain singer two months to pay me for my work!
If the singer is Cheyenne Jackson, take it out in trade. Hmm, perhaps Brendan Fraser needs some orchestrations done!

Good Evening!
Another day in New York City. Another wonderful day in New York City.
First of all, the weather was glorious. Summer was definitely in the air, but the humidity was comfortable, and the sun was shining. Best of all, the forecasted rain and storms held off (so far - I'm seeing thunderstorm and tornado(!) warnings on the TV screen right now). It made for a perfect afternoon for walking around the UWS.
And while walking around the UWS, I happened to come across a cheese tasting at Barzini's... YUM! Lots of varieties, lots of flavors, lots of different scents. ;) All very good.
Then it was off to 84th Street to meet up with DR elmore to see "Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3-D". Fun, fun, fun.
Then, if I'm remembering correctly, I believe there might have been some macaroni and cheese, and an ice cream sandwich somewhere during my walks today. ;)

Back from a two-and-a-half mile jog and a brisk two-mile walk. The walk, as was the case yesterday, was really the hard part - my back goes berserk. I'm fine now and must shower and be on my way to lunch with former dear reader Hisaka.
Hmm... If walking is making your back hurt, it sounds like you're not stretching before nor after your run/walk. After is more important since it will also help get your spine back in alignment after all the "bouncing". If your back continues to hurt, then I'd suggest taking a day or two off, or else you may end up doing some damage back there.
*Also - How old are are your running shoes? They can wear out faster than you think - especially if you use them for daily walking around too. A "crushed sole" can cause a lot of back issues. -Trust me on this one - I know from experience.
**And since you are running every day - and not taking a day off in between runs - you might want to invest in another pair of running shoes, and alternate them from day to day.

One of our departmental secretaries volunteered to clean out the refrigerator that we all share. It's pretty near my desk and she's been bringing specimens to me, saying, "What do you think this used to be?" People can be such pigs sometimes and Sherry is a real trouper to do this awful job.
When I was a regular at Arena Stage, they went through many different "plans" to deal with food left in the staff/company refrigerators over the years. Some worked better than others, but they finally settled on something pretty foolproof. The sign read as follows:
"Please Note: This refrigerator is NOT your "refrigerator-away-from-home". It is provided for staff and company members to store their food while they are working here on a daily basis. Therefore, every Friday afternoon, the janitorial staff has been instructed to empty out the fridge completely. Any and all food and drink will be thrown out sometime between 5:00 and 6:00 on Friday afternoon. Thank You."
It worked - and no one had to worry about the whole "When in doubt, throw it out," dilemma.

Well, CBS broadcast the first season. I've just finihsed reviewing the second season which I think is actually even better than the first. But it WAS on sDVD, and when you've seen it in HD, the show looks a bit lackluster in SD.

I watched the bonus features related to DEXTER on the fourth disc after I finished the last episode (and what a season finale it was!) Very little on there pertaining to DEXTER. There were some DVD-ROM items, but I don't think you shouold have to watch your DVD on your computer in order toaccess bonus material.

I had two very lengthy phone calls tonight, so I didn't get to watch as many things as I had planned. Enjoyed talking to both friends, but both interrupted the movie I had started.

Anyway, I did get all the way through THE MUMMY (Fraser) on Blu-ray. Looked marvelous, and the sound was DTS-HA Master Audio, so it was through the roof.
I did have time to watch the preview of the new MUMMY film on the disc. Looked like fun. (Some was from the film, some of the shots were behind-the-scenes kind of stuff.) It only lasted about 3 minutes.

Rehearsal is over, then I accompanied the Druxman's to Jerry's Deli (I didn't eat), and then I had to deal with a little e-mail I received from the MD of the Bacharach show - he may no longer be the MD. I sometimes forget how uppity he gets, and he HATED my idea for a song and said "maybe I'm not the guy for this if you're going to make fun of the songs." Now, this was one number, not all the songs, nor would we be making fun of the number. I told him that I thought that he was the right guy for the job, but the one thing he wasn't going to be EVER was the director, and that the buck stops with me, not him. I told him to back out if he couldn't deal with collaboration, and I also reminded him that the three Liz Callaway albums were TOTAL collaborations (I think they really imagine they did it all themselves) - I had total input and control over all three CDs and she and the CDs and he were all better for it. I said that no idea could be shot down so coldly without a discussion first. Do we have to do the number? No, if there's a good reason not to. Do we have to talk about it? Absolutely. I don't think he'd like it if he came to me with some idea he thought was clever only to have me say "Gee, I don't know if I want you involved it THAT'S the kind of thing you're coming up with." Feh.

There is a big difference between "making fun of the songs" and "having fun with the songs" - and I suspect you were suggesting the latter. I suspect a little self-referential levity would add a welcome spice to the proceedings.
