There's also this tidbit from Playbill about Spamalot. (http://www.napanews.com/templates/index.cfm?template=story_full&id=5CDDD999-D462-4185-BD8E-AC6DEBF6660D) It would be more interesting if they'd mentioned Natalie Wood, of course. Can't have everything.
I tried the link. It gets a article about Trader Joes
I can't stand beer or (straight) booze.
The music was by a Leonard Rosenman who also wrote music for :
Twilight Zone
2 Planet of the Apes movies
Barry Lyndon
Star Trek IV
Neil Diamond’s Jazz Singer
Macus Welby
Quincy
The Defenders
and lots more.
...the rest of the score all sounds like recycled Marcus Welby music.
I'm sure there are many of us who could direct you to some gay tipple.
I thought Dyan Cannon was just the living end - it is hard for me to watch those performances now.And now that Miss Cannon is a minister with her own church, it would be sacrilegious.

I thought William Hung was hilarious on last night's American Idol. He is a terrible singer. But he's just so sweet that he makes me smile.
... And, afterwards, my pre-adolescent self felt very gipped! (gypped - sp?)
Jennifer you don't get it. He's happy because he isn't aware that he is the object of a very cruel practical joke. He thinks he is a good singer and since he is so bad and so dorky everyone is going along with him. He almost seems like he might have a mild case of Downs Syndrome. I don't think he will seem so happy when he finally discovers the truth. You could tell the way the girls in the audience were snickering at him as they asked their questions what the audience really thought of him. It's like when a group of cruel high school students elect the class nerd as Homecoming King. Unless Mr. Hung is just putting on a big act, the truth will totally destroy him.
I need clean clothes for Chattanooga.
Jennifer, the Oroweat low carb bread has 6g net carbs (9g total - 3g fiber). There's another low-carb bread available here in the NW (I don't think it's available nationally) by NatureBake, that has only 5g net carbs, but it's not quite as tasty as the Oroweat (damning with faint praise). There are a number of "reduced carb" breads available up here now with net carbs in the range of 10g - 15g per slice. Methinks if you're not compulsive about your carb intake that those might taste a little more like real food.
There was a 2-page full color ad in today's NY Times for a new Disney movie opening Christmas 2005. It's a remake of "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe". How many versions does this make counting television and movie theatre versions? Do we really need another remake? Maybe that is why they are starting the ads 22 months early.
He almost seems like he might have a mild case of Downs Syndrome.
Oh and I almost forgot.
Today is Super Tuesday so if you are a registered democrat in one of the big six states... what the heck are you doing at home?
Go vote!!!
I just discovered that since I am the first post on a new page I had to manually go back to the previous page to read the posts that came in while I was typing. From now on, if your post starts a page, go back to the end of the prior page so you won't miss anything.
The above season announcement really surprises the hell out me. Who would suppose Frederica Von Staade even had ANY friends?
And in widescreen, no less.'Taint no' mo' ! I shrank Frederica!
Just got a notice that my friend Eileen Barnett is doing the lead in Lady in the Dark at the Alex, late this month. It's one of those Musical Theatre Guild things. I may try to get over there to see it.
DR WEL, it was the director who got into the fight with Michael Riedel, not the MD. Riedel's response in the paper this morning was that he's so disliked it will probably insure David Leveau(?)'s getting a Tony.

Comment on Super Tuesday - Since I always vote for the person, not the party, I have always registered as an independent and therefore am barred from voting in primaries. I realize that I could change my registration every election depending on who is running, but in some primaries I may favor a Republican for one position and a Democrat for another. A lot of people may not agree with me (so what else is new?), but I think if the party system which is not a part of the Constitution were eliminated and people could run for elections based on their own beliefs and not the party's, this country might be a lot better off. Congress would be a lot better too, because it could then operate as a group of individuals, not as two opposing groups of Congressmen.
And speaking of politics, it is interesting to see Conan the Governor, who has in the past been rather supportive of gay rights, groping his way toward a comfortable position on the Sanctity of Marriage.
Actually WEL, I totally agree with this and I have long felt the same way. Don't know if it would work any better, but in theory it makes sense.
In a more serious vein (A Dracula reference):

I may try to get over there to see it.Please do! Lady in the Dark is a surprising work, and one that doesn't get produced nearly often enough. I want a full report! (Actually, I want a new recording, but I'm not going to be as crass as der Brucer in my asking for one.)
For a good example of the "theory" in practice, look at Italy - total political chaos for generations.Closer to home, do we really want Congress and the Senate running on the same general principles as Survivor? Coalitions and betrayal, competitions and 'immunity..."

DR MICHAELSHAYNE - does Richard Costa sing as nice as he looks? ;)

I always wondered what airs on the west coast after the Academy Awards as the show starts pre-prime time there.
The Babs Walters interview show comes on after the Oscars here. In the east, it comes on before.East coast, Babbles is part of the build-up. West coast, she's part of the led down.
We have had our walk and Echo has been hosed down multiple times. Now I’m off to use the hair dryer on herAs a drying device, and not as a spanking tool, I trust. (Sorry, Jane, but your phrasing could have been clearer. ::))

Okay I think television has scraped the bottom of the outhouse. New show being made.
Are you ready for “My Best Friend is a Big Fat Slut”?
I have this idea for a reality series called, Physician, Heal Thyself! A dozen real doctors are injected with random fatal diseases, and they have to diagnose and treat themselves. Some will live...some won't.
JRand53, did you see Marty Milner and Kent McCord on Hollywood Squares last week? Boy, Kent still is a hottie!

I just found an old ticket stub for the Martin Beck theater dated January 6, 1979 when an orchestra seat was $14.50. Anyone know what was playing there?
As far as the big star who allegedly raped Natalie Wood as a kid, the scuttlebutt around is that it was Kirk Douglas. But that's just a rumor. Who knows if we'll ever know the truth.

More seriously, how does Echo respond to the sound of the hair dryer? Some of the dogs we've had have been very sensitive to the noise, running away the moment it's turned on. Vacuum cleaners have the same effect.
I just got back from walking Cully the near-blind dog and, my God, the sunset light tonight is exquisite! Like a Maxfield Parrish painting. There must a hundred different variant green tones dappled through the canyons. Soon...soon...I shall be able to sit on my balcony again with a good wine and fine music and soak this up every night...although the winter light is really even more special than the spring and summer light.Wonderfully evocative! Ever thought of taking up writing, Mr. Pogue?
Actually, one of the Firesign Theatre albums contains a bit with exactly that premise, except the game show contestant is not a doctor. The show is called Beat the Reaper.
Panni did you finish the Natalie Wood bio and did you like it?I watched it - I was doing other things at the time, because I certainly couldn't have just sat there and taken it in - and did not like it. I pretty much agree with what bk said in his Notes about the film.
Lovely photo. Thank you JRand53 & Panni for posting it.
Panni, if only my son was still living in San Francisco.
To heck with your son, Jane, if only I were in San Francisco! :D
Now, has anyone noticed anything unusual about this post? (It's post # 101 for the day, I believe.)(http://www.qsl.net/wd8das/brain.jpg)
der Brucer ('tis a late lunch time)
Good Evening!It's not the cartoon.
DR SWW - Regarding DR DERBRUCERS post/cartoon (post #101)... Now that you mention it, I do notice something unusual about that post. But, then again, my eyes may be deceiving me. Or maybe not? Hmm...
DR Panni asked me to post this picture! ;DI'd say she looks something like her lovely mother.
"... She no longer looks like either of the Natalies but is lovely in her own right."
Dear Reader Panni and others: Please link to articles, don't reprint them in their entirety here as it violates copyright laws. You may excerpt from them, just not the whole deal. Thanks.Sorry.
All right, then, what is everyone doing right this very minute? And, clothing report!
