That's pretty much my day. As to the TOD, I've got the following on my reading table:
The new Annotated Pride & Prejudice
Christopher Plummer's autobiography
The new biography of my friend Vito Russo
The Terror: The Shadow of the Guillotine, France 1792-1794

I'm up, have announced everywhere and am contemplating sleep again. I did give myself an early morning standing ovation, though :)

A friend of mine is taking a college course this summer, and that will be his text book.
I'm up, have announced everywhere and am contemplating sleep again. I did give myself an early morning standing ovation, though :)
Hmmm, this could be a fun running gag, like Cranberries and Post deleted, couldn't it?

George's father is named Pearl Django? ;D

And now...
I need to take a couple of minutes to go through the clothes I pulled from storage yesterday, and then I need to get ready to head out for the rest of my day - which seems to be more jam-packed with each new email and phone call this morning.
It turns out I might not need to play the auditions this afternoon since the New York casting director went ahead and hired his own. So, I may just be "behind the table" as staff. :)
DR JMK did you have your Italian last night?

Yes, we went to a little bistro in downtown Tigard (pronounced TIE-gard). Nothing fancy, but very enjoyable.
I am a little weepy--I just heard from Michael Tilson Thomas' press lady regarding my Keeping Score: Mahler review. MTT and the SFS like me, they really, really like me. :)

I wonder how Broadway Bares went yesterday....where are the clips?
MARCO POLO was in my mailbox!
Nice review DR DRUXY!!!
Kim was a friend who passed away recently. The kittens' names are some of her kitties over the years.
End of rant. I just hate walking the family tightrope every summer
Monday morning greetings! This is the first morning since last Wednesday that we haven't had someone in our guest room - and it was a different combination of people each night, Wednesday-Saturday. Seems pretty quiet...
Fiction-wise, on my Kindle I'm reading Susan Vreeland's Clara and Mr. Tiffany. She's one of my favorite novelists and I especially want to get well into this book before Richard and I go to Cincinnati's Taft Museum to see the current exhibit of Tiffany angel windows.
Even though we were gathered in Ohio for a solemn occasion, we did manage to laugh and enjoy each other's company. Left to right: my cousin Perry, his wife Jessica, my sister Nancy, her husband Jerry, their daughter Laura, Richard, my cousin Dan, his wife Yukko, my Mother, Mary Linda, her sister Julianne.
DR ELMORE I bought a copy of TERROR: IN THE SHADOW OF THE GUILLOTINE.....looks most interesting. Had to settle for a used paperback....English hardcover is available used for over $100!

but I really enjoyed the series, especialy how little people aged over 40years worth of time. Who know the 12th Century was so good for complexions?

I'm glad I got mine when it was published! I can sell it for $100? That will almost buy me a ticket to BOOK OF MORMON.
And in other Sondheim-related news... ???
"Stephen Sondheim's Company with The New York Philharmonic" will be making a return engagement to select cinemas in July. Dates and times still TBA.
I told the mother to give herself a mid-show standing ovation. She did.
Nice photos, Ginny. It must be a relief for it to all be over.
PS -- you look so thin! (Not in a bad way)
Shocked that none of our experts could figure out the Snoopy song line "I know now you can't rain a violet." I couldn't either, but the thirteen-year-old's mother did (I even googled "rain" and "violet" and got zilch) - the song April Showers - "It's raining violets." Mystery solved.

Actually, when I'm at the piano, I don't have to wear pants. Alas, most audition rooms are equipped with folding tables, and said tables don't have "modesty panels".
Well, we're at forty-three percent of our Kickstarter goal. Very nice news for four days in, but now becomes the hard part - getting the other fifty-seven percent - keeping the interest alive and getting the word out so people don't forget. But very heartening so far.
Call me old fashioned and hopelessly out of date, but could you imagine stars like Merman, Martin, Preston, Raitt or people of their ilk ever doing a Broadway Bares All benefit?
Thanks DR GEORGE.

Back from a jog - whilst doing the jog I received a mid-jog standing ovation. It was lovely and heartfelt.
Good morning, all! Around 2 am, I awoke with horrid stomach pains and was a restless sleeper and floorpacer for a couple of hours. Around 5:30 all seemed to be good and I slept until 8:15 or so. I wanted to sleep longer, but I have to be at my local social security office at 11 this morning to register as an Old Coot and to see some of the money I've been paying into Social Security for the past 46 years.
On the EILEEN front, a score to be proofed has come in, so I can go back to work on that project. On my way to SS I will stop at Staples and enlarge the printout to 11x17 paper.

What was originally known as Seahawks Stadium when it opened in 2002, then renamed Qwest Field in 2004, has a new name — CenturyLink Field.
That's as many names as the Seahawks have had head coaches since the stadium — built on the site of the former Kingdome — opened its doors.
The announcement of the name change came Monday. A news conference to unveil the new logo will be held Thursday.
Qwest was purchased by CenturyLink in April.
Qwest purchased naming rights to the stadium in 2004 in a sponsorship deal that runs through 2014 with a five-year renewal option, reportedly paying an estimated $75 million. The fact the deal might run out in three years, though, means there's no guarantee the new name will last for long. It's a far cry from places like Fenway Park, which was named in 1912 after the Boston neighborhood in which the stadium resides and hasn't changed.
The events center will be known as CenturyLink Field Event Center.

Very nice review, Druxy!
BK
I was listening to the soundtrack of The Creature Wasn't Nice and I was thinking when you are successful with Kickstarter for First Nudie Musical; how about using Kickstarter to restore The Creature Wasn't Nice to your director's cut and Broderick Crawford voice for the computer>
I have discovered the coolest thing that I never knew existed, and BK you may want to run right out and get one, too, as it will instantly solve the wireless update problems I helped you overcome with your BD player at your home environment. There is a company called NetGear that sells these handy dandy little things called HomePlugs. You plug them into a wall outlet, put an ethernet cable into your router, and then there's another HomePlug you can take to any other room with a wall plug and you can "hard wire" any devices into your LAN with another ethernet cable. We've been using it all over the house to do firmware updates where our wireless network won't reach and it's been doing great. Highly recommended.
We updates nothing.....and of course Paul Ford says "by god" at least three times in the movie, I just checked my Blu Rae.
Can't win.....

She is wrong, of course.
I did not meet MR. Right (not that I was even looking for him), but when I was stuffing a dollar bill down the pants of a very hunky stripper, the guy leaned down, gave me a hug and whispered in my ear asking if I was a top.
When did flights zoom up like this? It's absolutely insane, even JetBlue is insane.

The Oregonian has confirmed this is the second wettest spring in 117 years of record keeping. Oy and vey.
I like Mink and Purrcy.
Nice photos, Ginny. It must be a relief for it to all be over.
Yes, the worst of it is over, DR Laura. The cousins and their wives will be here for dinner this evening, but they're bringing the food. Tomorrow, Jess is flying to Florida to be in a wedding and the guys and Yukko are going to Pittsburgh to see their dad. They're leaving Perry's truck with what's left of Aunt Jo's furniture in our garage and will be back for it before caravanning back to GA later in the week.QuotePS -- you look so thin! (Not in a bad way)
Amazing what a difference 30 pounds can make, huh?
Greetings one and all!
Still no luck on the job front... Have had a couple of interviews but no offers.
Other than that there has been the ongoing news about floods. ND is getting pounded on the flood front this year: Devils Lake, Red River, Sheyenne, Missouri, James, and the Souris.
In the case of the Souris, Canada can no longer hold the water back in two reservoirs and has released a LOT of water. Mandatory evacuations have been ordered for Burlington, ND rural areas near the river and half of Minot, ND
It is not a good situation.

Well, since the audio guy works the night shift, I just went over there to hear the result of his little test and the news is fantastic - it sounds great, no distortion at all and we're set to go - he'll do the transfer tomorrow and it will be ready for us when we start transferring the picture on Thursday.
