I know George doesn't judge, but since I'm not Christian (or any other religion) I will, ;)
Ken Mehlman is a slime bag of the highest order and he has LOTS and LOTS of 'splainin' to do.
Just saying "I was against it" isn't enough. He was part of the problem, especially in 2004 and he helped promote the hate mongering and gay baiting that has been stock and trade of the current Republican party.
The slime bag will get no love from me. He can sit in his $3.7 million Chelsea condo alone for the rest of his life. All of a sudden he's "for" marriage equality" What, did he meet someone?
Slime bag!

Good morning, all! I am very groggy, on my first cup of coffee, and wishing I had got to bed a bit earlier than I did. BK, I understand your frustration about Monday; this final vacation period has me sitting about wondering why no one's responding to my questions about the upcoming schedule, and putting things together is a mess. The recording begins the 18th and I'm thinking that juggling 14 singers, two ensembles, one cellist, an often unresponsive MD, and a recording crew is a nightmare. Last night, I got an email from the cellist saying "maybe these two pieces are unpublished because they're lousy?" While I value his opinion and his brilliant playing, my initial question is, does the performer decide the music stinks or do we record it and let posterity decide? Since I haven't heard the music in its final form I have no opinion, except to say thanks for not inviting me to the rehearsal where you and the MD - who's said nothing to me about the issue - went through the new music.
I may have to make some casting adjustments on the recording, which is why Anthony is coming in to sing on Monday, and I've been trying to contact a friend about singing for the MD for the past three days, and this morning I finally heard from him: he's in the California mountains with his son and back on Monday. If neither seems right for the material, I've got a third person up my sleeve.
Then, at 10:30 last night, one of my singers from the Met called to ask about changing times, and that meant moving (3 times) the ladies ensemble backing her up on one of the numbers and I'm still waiting from one of the tenors about changing the date of her other session. Oy! All last night. The schedule I have sent out in June as "Final? Recording Schedule" went out later as "Final 7-19 Schedule," and on Sunday I sent another to everyone as "Revised 7-19 Schedule." How many more? About 11:30 I went to bed.
So, this morning, the McGlinnvntory; I need to check some questions on a couple of full scores, note the publisher on all miniature scores for sale, and stasrt pricing items. At 1, I meet Charlotte to see the comedy "The Other Guys." On Saturday morning, my senior returbns to Michigan for her last year.
DR Ben, I'm with you on Mehlman, and to him I say, rot in hell, asshole!

TOD: Too many directors to name, to think of, to remember this early in the morning. But here are a few.
Robert Altman, almost anything, but especially "Nashville," "McCabe and Mrs. Miller," "The Company" and "Prairie Home Companion."
Yasujiro Ozu, "Tokyo Story"
Ingmar Bergman, "Smiles of a Summer Night"
Vincent Minnelli, "The Band Wagon" and "The Pirate"
John Waters, "Hairspray"
Hitchcock, "Strangers on a Train"
I'm sure many of the other postings will job my weary brain.

Hurray!

Thanks to all for their Birthday Wishes. They are most appreciated.
In case you do not recognize me - I am the new and improved Jrand60! Better gas mileage and acceleration. But still no hair.
I look forward to another year of frivolity here on HHW.....and am pleased as punch that my Birthday Twin has returned.......now my arm is complete!

Oh....and Happy Birthday to DR JOSE.
And I am off book - didn't use it at all last night and made fewer than half a dozen errors that had to be corrected.

Kritzerland goes Blu-Ray? Interesting developments.
Reading about MR BK's difficulties and DR ELMORE's likewise problems........sounds like the same thing that happens to me at Putnam County Playhouse.

-No one offended me, or drove me away from the site. Trust me, if someone had, I would not have gone quietly.

BK,
I watched the 3 Josef Von Sternberg silent films 2 weeks ago. His work blew me away, and I can see where Orson Welles and some of the revered film noir directors might have been influenced by his films.
THE LAST COMMAND is the best of the three. The other two, in my opinion, are marred by the performances of George Bancroft, who seems to think he is doing a stage play...in a large theater.
-
Happy Birthday to DR Jrand! Have a great day!
-
Happy Birthday to DR Jose. Welcome back! Do you have any interesting food plans?
-
I hope DR Michael Shayne watched the end of LOST last night. I don't get why that spoiler was posted.
-
Hmmm, a birthday walkabout must include lots of food, right? I am actually starving.
And surprisingly, I am not groggy. I took 1/3 of a muscle relaxant at 9pm. And it made me very drowsy then. And I was able to sleep only waking up a few times (and the pain was much better in my back).
I am just happy that I'm not completely groggy (even though 1/3 of a pill is probably the dose for a 5 year old).
-
And Happy Birthday to E&T DR Jose, one of the few people I know who would not only know the meaning of the word of the day, but has probably done it as well!
He's macerated? I hope not in public! :D
Okay, I'll admit it: I've been known to do so on occasion myself - just did it a few weeks ago, in fact (apricots in ginger-mint syrup, for those who care about such things)
Happy birthday, Jose & Jrand!

I'm up, the sky is blue, I'm sure it's already ninety out there and Jose has returned. All is well.

So, the plan was that I was going to play piano at the Sunset Blvd auditions on Saturday, which I was fine with. At the production meeting, the director (whom I love) said he wanted me at the table with him, which is a luxury these days. So now I'm trying to find a pianist I can trust to play the auditions, and I need to pay them out of my pocket as I'm tapped out already with my musicians budget. It's not the money I care about because I don't mind paying someone, but do I break my back trying to find someone, or do I just call my top 3 people and if that doesn't pan out, do it myself. The director understands the situation, of course. So I guess I'm off to email contestant #2 - and that's another thing, how long do I give contestant #1 to respond? I emailed last night. I might give him until noon. In this day and age, if you are looking for work, you should be able to check your email at the drop of a hat.
-
And a grand birthday wish to DR Jose, my one time cyber husband, I am beside myself with joy that you are back (as oppose to being front).
Now, about that alimony....

Thank you for the card, DR MBARNUM and the good wishes.
LOL DR JMK - I thought he probably did.
-
We've been having some network issues here, but seem to be OK now.
-
Matthew, if the director wants someone else to play the auditions, HE (or really the company) should pay for it, not you!
-
Have answered e-mail, have had a nice telephonic call with Druxy, and am now getting ready to go finesse mixes.
-
Matthew, if the director wants someone else to play the auditions, HE (or really the company) should pay for it, not you!
Yes, I realize that. However, I'm budgeted to the gills for this show. The director and I did agree to split the costs. However, the question is do I break my back finding someone or just let it go.
-
And the matter is settled. Moving on...
-
Spoke too soon about our network issues being resolved. DS Rob is getting very frustrated!

Yesterday, John G. wrote about my post about Ken Mehlman (and me not knowing anything about him):
Except that he's denied it for years, though former boyfriends or men with whom he has had sex have come forward to dispute his former claims that he was straight.
I know George doesn't judge, but since I'm not Christian (or any other religion) I will, ;)
Ken Mehlman is a slime bag of the highest order and he has LOTS and LOTS of 'splainin' to do.
Just saying "I was against it" isn't enough. He was part of the problem, especially in 2004 and he helped promote the hate mongering and gay baiting that has been stock and trade of the current Republican party.
The slime bag will get no love from me. He can sit in his $3.7 million Chelsea condo alone for the rest of his life. All of a sudden he's "for" marriage equality" What, did he meet someone?

Don't be gone long, DR Jose! I'm happy to see you back with us today. I hope you are having a splendiferous birthday.
I am back from seeing "The Other Guys" with my beloved goddaughter Charlotte, who is prettier than ever and so dear to my heart. As to the movie, I laughed. A lot. There are funny comments about ponzi schemes, government bailouts, outrageous sightgags and lots of raunch. We had a good time.

Now, someone better get me off this damn page, and we'd better get us a frenzy or three going, or I will have to ask the "where's Jane" question - even though I know she has company
Instead of threatening to ask the "where's Jane" question why didn't you answer the questions from Jane? :)

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm back!
YEAH!!!! Happy Birthday DR Jose

The Jury is out....they have been for about 1 1/2 hours. They decided they will deliberate until 8:00 PM (Assuming they don't have a verdict sooner) and then will come back in the morning. So I'm here at the office until a verdict is reached or 7:45 PM (when we are to report to the courthouse) whichever is sooner
-
Vibes would be appreciated. The trial went well.
-
I'm not going to go home over the weekend. I was only planning it for awhile. There are a few things I want to do in town this weekend and after this week it won't be out of the frying pan and into the fire...I'll stay here
-
I can't think of anything else I could have done in this case. That's the best feeling I can have at this point in the trial

Good blood work result vibes for Ginny!!
Thanks, DR Jane - this was pretty routine, so I'm not expecting anything earth-shattering.

We had much excitement this morning with reports of witnesses conspiring in the holding cell at the federal building. Gotta love it when that happens

News not what I had hoped for, but I was dealing with 5 snitches against my client alleging he's in a major Mexican drug ring. Most of them were his family members, so.... I still feel ok about it. I can't think of anything I would have done differently. It was a credibility case and I think one person (my guy) against 5 just didn't cut it.
-
OMG! I don't have to work tonight! It's a miracle!

Cilla I'm sorry for your client and wish him well. I'm glad you feel you did all you could.

I am VERY sleepy

Has anybody noticed that Amazon is cutting their discounts on upcoming TV seasons like MEDIUM and LAW & ORDER: SVU?
In the past you could pre-order L&O for $42-$44. Now it's $54.
Same with MEDIUM and a couple of others.
Don't they know that we're in a recession?

I am wondering if Laura is getting any rain. My friend in Lost Wages just sent me an e-mail saying that they were in the middle of a big storm; with rain, hail, thunder, and lightning.
-
Cilla, sorry to hear about the verdict.
-
Finally back. The mix session took a little longer than I thought it would because I'm very methodical about this stuff. But it sounds really great, amazing really and a big improvement, at least to my ears. Then I left and had to endure grotesque traffic on Laurel Canyon - I finally took Ventura Blvd and went way out of my way to get to the mail place. And it is broiling out - in fact, you might be able to broil a steak on the sidewalk. If I'm to jog, I have to do so soon, since I'm supping somewhere around seven-thirty.
-
I've just redone the schedule again and I hope this is the last for tonight!

Tired and cranky go away vibes for DR vixmom, who deserves happy and well rested instead.

I've been redoing schedules too - after being told by EVERYONE that Tuesday at five is good for our stumble-through the Gardenia show, two days later I'm informed by our very own Mr. Jason Graae that he's got a voice lesson at five and can't miss it. His teacher is coming from NY. I don't even want to know. So, I had to get back to everyone and ask if three would work - so far, so good - waiting for one last confirmation.
-
A Very Happy Birthday to Jose!!

A Very Happy Birthday to JRAND

The late afternoon was so annoying (traffic, dealing with the sched change), and then dinner was cancelled, so I went to Hugo's and ate way too much food - a salad and Pasta Victor, which is rather heavy beside the disclaimer of "light chipotle cream sauce" - I don't care. It was so good I ate it all up and there was a lot to eat. I'll jog at eight.
-
thanks everyone for the comments. I've been doing jury trials since 1987 and learned long ago that I should judge my "performance" right when the jury goes out and not by the verdict. As a criminal defense lawyer, winning is always a difficult proposition. Sometimes having something to argue to the jury with a straight face is a challenge.
In this case, my client is connected to people who are huge drug dealers from Mexico. The people who testified against him (5 of them) are all big drug dealers and most of the people are his relatives. He has maintained his innocence from the beginning. I had a chance to win, but it wasn't a big chance. OK it was a very slim chance.
I'm happy with the work I did.

I went upstairs shortly after the post about losing the case and rested for a minute....I was OUT COLD for over 3 hours!! Boy, did I need to sleep

Three hours, you were tired!

Thanks Vixmom. I adminre your ability to work as hard as you do and not be cranky all the time. I don't think I could do that
-
DR CILLA LIZ - you are correct, the outcome doesn't always reflect the work.

I just wanted to drop in one more time this evening to say thanks to one and all for the Birthday Wishes - the cards - the banners - and the sparkly cake from DR JANE. It was most entertaining and fun.
I would be remiss if I didn't say that one of the highlights of this year was meeting MR BK and DR CP last April when they came to Indianapolis for the production of THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X.
Never thought I would have a chance to meet either of them.....let alone both of them.....and spend the delightful and memorable afternoon and evening with them.
It was indeed a highlight.
-
Thanks again everybody!
See you all tomorrow!

My co-worker Monica has talked me into checking out the TV series ENTOURAGE. I just received the first 4 episodes from the 1st season via Netflix.
I have now watched those 1st 4 episodes.
I am unsure if I am going to like this show.
-
I am so glad I'm not going out of town this weekend.

I did not watch Entourage,

Did a mile and a half jog but still feel like I've eaten a house. I started a motion picture on Blu and Ray, but won't finish it till tomorrow night. I tried to watch another von Sternberg silent but the blu-ray player was being retarded and wouldn't load it properly - I'll watch it in the bedroom player.
-
Great attitude, CillaLiz. I will have to try to remember to view things in the same way.
Thanks JohnG.

I think the biggest compliment one can pay Cilla is that I think any of us would be thrilled to have her on our side in court. I know I would.

In the amazing but true department - I was just checking my gmail accounts and they now have a "call phone" feature - you can call anywhere in the US for free (at least for the rest of this year) - you click on "call phone" and it gives you a number pad - you click on the numbers of the phone number you want to call and then it connects you and you talk. I didn't believe it so I dialed the Kritzerland designer and lo and behold and also behold and lo he answered and I talked to him on the computer. I'm using this for all long-distance calls, as my cell reception isn't that great. Best of all, no hands, ma.

Happy Birthday JRand. ;D
-
Happy Birthday Jose. ;D

Yea :)

Have a wonderful Friday everyone.
No cranky.

Speaking of The Brain From Planet X I submitted it for next year's season at the theatre I work at in Palo Alto. The theme next year is "Gods and Monsters", so we'll see what the Exe says. We won't know until April 2011, of course.
