Well, you've read the notes, the notes were Mahlerian, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're having a piece of MOOhler's.

Anthony will be leaving for a journey back to Wisconsin on about February 5th or 6th to do The Fantasticks at Fireside Dinner Theatre. He will be there until April 20th.

I will be heading out to Fort Atkinson, via Madison on March 27th to see said Anthony in said production. I will return to New York on March 31. I am officially booked with a very good ticket price and a nonstop flight. Let's hope the weather holds out until March 27.

Good morning, all! The things I miss when I sign off: I see that DR FJL is heading into a recording studio to skewer Mr Piven and DR cillaliz has joined the anti-Tina Fey groupies for her dead-center brilliant twist on a Baked Alaskan, now that the object of my scorn has denounced Ms Fey to the press for doing her job too well. The coven is in an uproar, I guess, and good for Ms Fey to fight back. What a busy night!

That sets me wondering: have any other nominees in the past pissed and moaned publicly about how comic impersonators have destroyed their bid for 30 minutes of fame?

I am up bright and early to head to Toyland; I forgot to check something in the Act One edits and I need to do it today before I get deeper into Act Two. After that, back to Frank Loesser.

My favorite fries are the Curley Fries at Chik-Fil-A.

I also liked the Potato Skins served at one of my favorite local pubs, the Kyber Pass, but I don't think they have them anymore. It seems that Potato Skins had fallen off the menu just about everywhere when Atkin's was the rage--hopefully they will make a come back.

Tuesday morning greetings!  I just saw Richard off to London (Ohio) for church business and I'm trying to figure out how to spend my day.

The title of today's notes reminds me of the only community theater show I did after DR Elmore (my favorite director) left town - Company.  I played Sarah and the oaf who played Harry was absolutely certain that "a piece of Mahler's" referred to candy.

Much as I dread it, I'll be working on NATIONAL LAMPOON'S STONED AGE today, and frankly will be glad to get it out of the way. Sad to say, 2008 was not a kind year for live action Paramount comedies. I've had to suffer this year through STRANGE WILDERNESS, DRILLBIT TAYLOR, and THE LOVE GURU plus the direct-to-video WITHOUT A PADDLE: NATURE'S CALLING and from other studios DISASTER MOVIE, COLLEGE ROAD TRIP, and THE WOMEN, and not a half dozen funny jokes among the lot of them.

I love it that Fey reads the internet.  I think her identifying certain internet flamers by name was brilliant.  I think some folks need to be acknowledged for the ugly things they write on the internet. 

There's always someone looking for someone/something to vilify, and that sometimes makes the internet a very pissy place.

I think Alec Baldwin should just laugh and laugh every time he wins an award for "30 Rock" or makes a TV appearance and thank Bill O'Reilly for declaring his career "dead."

Sean Penn was one of those O'Reilly condemned to a career death, too...before he won his Oscar!

I, mentioned the term "moksha" last week, but never referenced where I'd heard it.  One of the episodes went into great detail about Buddha and wheels and paths and such esoteric stuff as that.

It's a really good series.

I think I pretty much knew what Sondheim meant when I first heard "a piece of Mahler's" but I took it to heart that it was how then-trendy (early 70's) chic New Yorkers talked.  And while I don't think I ever actually used the phrase myself, I'm sure in the back of my mind I thought I was taking in "a piece of Beethoven's" or "a piece of Tchiakovsky's" everytime I attended an orchestra concert.

I have also been watching one of those home improvement shows over the past few days

(it comes on while I am digesting my can) it is called "Save my Bath"  a designer and crew come in and help dome homeowners redo their bath, though from what I understand teh homeowners foor the bill... and what bills!  $20,000 $25,000 $30,000 to redo a bathroom!


Now some of the bathrooms turn out GAWJUS as PennyO would say, but really do you need to spend that much money on a 5 x 12 foot space?!

For $30,000 I could redo the entire first floor of my house...of course I wouldn't be buying the tub with the built in "therapy colored lighting" and I wouldn't have spray nozzles from head to foot in the shower and my tile would not be imported from  Italy and handpainted by a grand master


Guess I am just cheap.

Even though during her speech it did not necessarily sound like Tina Fey was naming off her real internet foes, i still love it that she reads the internet.

And i agree with DR RonP, i think it was funny that tina named people by name. And i also agree that some people use anonymity to say really nasty things. Whether they like her or not there is no need to be cruel.

I wnet up to him and asked if they ever considered doing 'This Regular Person's House" with appliances and wallpaper and tiling from Sears or Home Depot.  I said the projects were womderful but the cost of renovating one or two rooms was often more than the price of an average person's home.

He looked at me like I had 2 heads and said something along the lines of. "Thanks for watching "

Anthony will be leaving for a journey back to Wisconsin on about February 5th or 6th to do The Fantasticks at Fireside Dinner Theatre. He will be there until April 20th.

I will be heading out to Fort Atkinson, via Madison on March 27th to see said Anthony in said production. I will return to New York on March 31. I am officially booked with a very good ticket price and a nonstop flight. Let's hope the weather holds out until March 27.

What part is he playing?

He's playing Bellomy, Luisa's father. He's the one who says "You're...standing...in...my...kumquats!!!"

Oh he has that wonderful song then - I love 'Never Say No"

Please give him my love and Break a Leg Vibes!!

For a while, Burger King was touting how their fries were the best-tasting over McDonald's and I definitely preferred them.  I think it had to do with coating them with something before they were fried.  But at some point during the past five years, they changed the recipe again and they tasted blander.  I know prefer McD's.

As for the Topic of the Day...

French Fries:

For fast food: The "original" McDonald's French Fries - before they changed the formula - twice!  I like the Burger King ones, but they tend to lose a lot of their of their appeal as they cool down. The McD's fries were always good until they were stone cold.  -And the "little crunchies" are still the best!  *And, yes, both BK and Hardee's "treated" their fries with sugar/corn syrup.

Oh... And I guess the curly fries from Arby's - although, I usually get their potato cakes.  And the waffle fries from Chik-fil-A.

The whole Boardwalk Fries - whether in brand or style - thing is OK, but they do tend to be more on the "soft" side - which, at times can be good.  The fried fish place in my 'hood has "boardwalk Restaurant/sit-down:

Joe's Inn in Richmond always has great shoestring fries.  Another Richmond standby, The Village, also has great fries - there were always rumors that they would give them a very light spritz with beer right after they took them out of the fryer, and right before they seasoned them.

I like the crinkle cut fries at Shake Shack in NYC, but I'm not a fanatic about them like some people are.  -Heck, they are basic food service supplied, frozen crinkle cut fries.

And when the kitchen at the Renaissance Diner in NYC is on their game, their sweet potato fries served with a dusting of confectioner's sugar and a bowl of maple/pancake syrup... YUM!!!

As for the Topic of the Day - Part 2 - The Onion Rings Edition...

Fast Food:  Popeye's!!!  It's just too bad that they're an occasional "special menu item" nowadays, rather than on the regular menu.  It was always worth the extra charge and the wait time for them to come up.

Restaurant/sit-down: The aforementioned Joe's Inn and The Village in Richmond have great onion rings - usually a meal unto themselves.

Most steakhouses tend to do the giant onion ring thing very well: Shula's, Morton's, etc.  However, I think my favorites are still the one from the District Chop House & Brewery in DC.  -Which, as I just found out (thanks to Google) is part of the Rock Bottom Restaurant family of restaurants.

MIL update...

Yesterday my FIL also "fell out" so Greg took care of him and took him home to spend the night. He has been pretty much living at the hospital and very sleep deprived so he slept very well in his own bed.

MIL had another episode yesterday which took her to the ER and the decision was made to install a pacemaker. She is out of surgery now and in ICU. We visited her as soon as they let us and now we are waiting until we're allowed to visit a little more. Greg will probably go home with his dad again tonight. I feel really lucky that he didn't have any jobs booked early this week.

Thank you all for the continued vibes---as you can see, we still need them!

And the hospital does not seem to like HHW---it took me hours to get on!

I forgot to comment on the TOD earlier.

Best french fries I've ever had were at Sizzlin' Steakhouses that used to be all over Charlotte. There are none left now, but I've never had anything like those fries. Sliced into long, thick slices with the skin still on and fried to a golden brown, they were enough for a meal even without having a steak. Don't know where they found so many potatoes that big which could produce slices that thick and long.

Best onion rings were at a restaurant I took Jose to when he and I had dinner together a couple of years ago - The Landmark, a favorite after hours restaurant/diner for the theater crowd. I didn't have any the night he and I were there, but have had them many times with casts of various shows after a performance.

I spent most of the afternoon with NATIONAL LAMPOON'S STONED AGE. Allegedly the title was changed from HOMO ERECTUS because video stores complained to Paramount that it sounded like gay porn and didn't want to stock it, so they changed it.

Under whatever title you want to give it, it's AWFUL. I didn't even crack a smile during the entire 88 minutes. And wonderful names in the cast: Talia Shire, Gary Busey, David Carradine, Ali Larter, but this thing is just pathetic. Ugh!

I'm back from a quick walk across the street to the Lake....whereupon I saw a  raft of ducks.

I looked up in hopes of seeing an exaltation of larks, but, alas, 'twasn't to be.  There were several skeins of geese on the opposite shore, however, so I contented myself with the status quo.

On my return, a homeless man greeted me with a squall of farts.

Good morning, all! The things I miss when I sign off: I see that DR FJL is heading into a recording studio to skewer Mr Piven and DR cillaliz has joined the anti-Tina Fey groupies for her dead-center brilliant twist on a Baked Alaskan, now that the object of my scorn has denounced Ms Fey to the press for doing her job too well. The coven is in an uproar, I guess, and good for Ms Fey to fight back. What a busy night!

That sets me wondering: have any other nominees in the past pissed and moaned publicly about how comic impersonators have destroyed their bid for 30 minutes of fame?

I am up bright and early to head to Toyland; I forgot to check something in the Act One edits and I need to do it today before I get deeper into Act Two. After that, back to Frank Loesser.

Actually DR Elmore, you are wrong. I've never liked Tina Fey.  The politics is way beyond the point.

I went off to get another can in and fell asleep for a couple of hours again.  When I woke up my throat was very sore and my voice is the worse its been so far.   They did warn me that the cumalative effects of the continued radiation would continue to mount up, I guess this is what they were talking about.

 

Sigh.  Did you begin taking the medication for your throat?

Hello DR Vixmom

I will play "A Taste of Honey" in honour of you today.

The news here - my car is being serviced.  There are no euphamisms there OK!

I am reading #7 book in the trilogy trilogy  by Robin Hobb. (She dwells in the Seattle area)

Thank you for the travel vibes. I don't leave until the weekend.

Also, I talked with my sister Sunday. She is doing well with the chemo. Her side effect was really sore joints for two days. So far, so good.

Great-CONTINUED VIBES THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE MILD!

Biggest joke of the day - The President's award to John Howard - known throughout the land for his lack of compassion and his clinging on to values belong to colonialism at its worst.

This is the man who is denial about the wrong done to our indiginous people and their need to have an apology before they can move on. The man who locked up the innocent children of illegal immigrants for months and years.  (all illegal immigrants fleeing another country to come to "freedom" must be terrorists of course).  The man who blindly followed Dubya everywhere like a lap dog.

Let's hope the world had moved on and "hope" for humanity is part of our lives.

DR Jose, those look delicious.

They were.  :)

And when I got to Chik-fil-A, the place was packed!  There was truly no place to sit.  Every table was taken, every chair spoken for.  And it was all families, which was very nice to see.

Then I noticed the "Kids Eat Free Tuesday Nights from 5:00pm-8:00pm" sign.  Ah! -Each kid got a free Kid's Combo Meal with each Adult Combo Meal purchased.  But still, it was very cool to see all those families eating together, and it seemed that most of the families and kids knew each other too.

*Although, I think the trade-off for the parents was that all the kids also seemed to be having desserts: ice cream cups, ice cream cones, shakes and/or brownies - which are not included in the "free" part of the deal. ;)

Callie was ok, I was really worried. She jumped on the very back and just went about four inches and right off.  She landed on her feet, but it really scared her. I said "NO!" about 10 times when she was going to jump.  I decided to slow it way down but not stop it so she won't do it in the future when I'm going fast.   She almost did it again tonight but changed her mind.

Boo was running around the room.  I don't think she's interested in running on the treadmill.

Thanks to everyone for the vibes. Greg was very touched that so many of our Hainsies were sending good thoughts to his parents.

They installed a pacemaker for his mom today, and since Greg took his dad home last night and he couldn't leave, he was forced to stay and get some sleep. He is with his dad tonight as well, so I hope he will continue to get good sleep. I was at the ICU for over 12 hours so I'm glad to be home, snuggled in with kitties.

Going to bed early.

Oh, no...this was actually the one I was trying to find. Cats on treadmills...

Had such an entertaining evening watching fun things.

I began with MEN IN BLACK on Blu-ray disc. Very impressive looking, and the Dolby TrueHD sound was quite stunning. I hadn't seen the film in probably ten years, so it was nice to revisit it. I never have seen the sequel.

Next, I put in KISS ME KATE and watched through the reprise of "I Hate Men." If they had only done a proper widescreen, anamorphic transfer, it would be perfection.

NCIS had a not-so-interesting episode that featured Ducky in a dramatic situation. It was OK, but not much mystery to it. It did provide David McCallum with a meatier acting challenge than the usual episode.

THE MENTALIST, on the other hand, was a VERY entertaining episode with its mix of flip, hip tricks and genuine drama. I love it when Patrick uses his "mentalist" skills throughout the episode, and he did here to terrific effect.

And then I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing today but interesting previews for tomorrow, likely Brian's last episode for awhile, much to my dismay.

No. ;)

I was actually thinking about my sister and niece.  They have a treadmill and three cats.  I don't think Casper (the oldest...he'll be 13 this summer!) will have anything to do with it, but the two girls (Elphaba and Nessarose...yes, my niece loves the book and musical Wicked; they'll be 2 this year) might be willing.

Hey!  I just noticed something when I was typing and previewing my last post:

Wicked (the underline is green)

and:

Wicked ... the underline is NOT green!

I wrote another couple of pages but might write one more before going to bed.  I have also watched a horrible mind-numbing motion picture on DVD, but said film shows that SD DVD can still look and sound absolutely stellar.  I had a foot-long Spicy Eyetalian Subway sandwich - it's my new fave.

Sorry, all, I've had trouble keeping up with posts these last two days
Toby's fever went back up this evening after being totally gone all day.  He also started coughing more and more, and wheezing a bit.  Since I knew his prematurity makes him more susceptible to respiratory-type stuff, I decided it was time to bundle him off to Urgent Care.  After doing chest x-rays to rule out pneumonia, they diagnosed him with bronchiolitis.  Basically a viral form of bronchitis.  Since it's viral, there's not much they can do, but they did give him a dose of cortisone to help the inflammation, and it really seemed to help.  So he's home again tomorrow, poor baby.   He's zonked out in my lap now, and we'll be headed for bed soon.

I think the only thing on my calendar tomorrow is a breakfast meeting at eleven.  I'll try to jog prior to it, so that when I get home I can really do the next six pages and then have the late afternoon and evening all to my very own self.

What I am is posting
Posting is the thing I like to do
Errant
Many people errant
And they have apparently no clew
Posts
That is what we need
Or I'll have to bitch-slap you
You know that is my creed

So I'm happy
Happy to be posting
It's the way I'm spending all my time (yes, I'm posting)
