Post by: JoseSPiano on June 26, 2011, 05:51:54 AM: I think I'm going to drive in today. The trains on Sunday tend to run only every 20 minutes, and since they're doing a lot of track work this weekend, even though the trains may leave Vienna on time, they end up stalling for a few minutes at each station once they get into DC. -Plus, there's a some sort of reception tonight afterwards.
Title: Re: I, CALENDAR
Post by: JoseSPiano on June 26, 2011, 05:56:41 AM: *One very interesting(?) thing I've noticed on DC Metro's system over the past two weeks is the number of escalator outages - basically at least one in each station. It's actually quite maddening and inconvenient - as well as dangerous during the rush hour periods when a whole train car of people are "forced" to use only one set of escalators - which may or may not be working - to get off AND on the train at the same time. -And then if you happen to be less-mobile or in a wheelchair and have to figure out how to get out of the station since no signage was posted and/or no announcement was made on the train... I really hope the family I tried to help yesterday eventually made it out of the L'Enfant Plaza station. :-\

Post by: elmore3003 on June 26, 2011, 06:01:12 AM: Good morning, all! I had to get out of bed: too many nightmares about EILEEN.I'm happy with the work that my team and I have accomplished, bt there are too many wld cards floating about between here and Dublin to make me happy at the moment: needless spending on binding machinery, audition tapes, recording studio, chorus, recording dates, all of which I cannot control. In short, my work will be excellent and ready and we will be paid for our work, but the schedule may be off and the recording delayed, and this may affect future work. I try not to think of it, but this morning, it became my obsession.

I also had a long frustrating dream about working for Office Outfitters (1973-1978), crazy co-workers, including Snooky, a friend of mine and DR Ginny who never worked at Office Outfitters, a delayed telephone order and other nonsense. Speaking of DR Ginny, I am listening to Haydn's "The Creation," which has brought back memories of my ninth grade commencement. the choir, which is where I met Richard in seventh grade, sang the glorious "The Heavens Are Telling the Glory of God," which closes the first part of Haydn's oratorio. I'm sure Richard was there in 1961.

So, today, now that I've finished my arrangement, I've got several charts from EILEEN waiting to be proofed. That's my day.

Post by: Ginny on June 26, 2011, 06:50:19 AM: Sunday morning greetings! The uproar of the past 10 days finally caught up with me after our day of wedding festivities yesterday. Fr. Richard excused me from church today and I slept almost 12 hours. I couldn't even stay up to visit with Rob and Mary Linda when they got home from the second wedding reception. They were dancing sweetly to "I Can't Help Falling in Love with You" when we left there.

I know you'd prefer to see him in a dubbed voice standing in front of the gates of Thebes waiting for the gorgons to attack, while you pray that his talents as an actor are as low as your expectations, but i'm doing my damndest to bring you some culture.

Title: Re: I, CALENDAR
Post by: Jennifer on June 26, 2011, 07:29:41 AM: On Friday night I watched GNOMEO and JULIET with my nieces and two of their friends. It is interesting how they write these animated movies. They have one level for adults and one level for the kids.

For example Elton John wrote the music and there was a bit where there was a cartoon guy dressed in big Elton John glasses looking exactly like him. Well the kids were laughing hysterically because they thought it was so funny. But of course they don't know who Elton John is.

It was a cute movie. But as it was ending I was praying that they would change the Romeo and Juliet ending. My niece was so invested in those garden gnomes. She was practically in tears as she wondered if Gnomeo and Juliet would survive!

Mr Goulet got much better as the story went along - acting wise - although his face is so....weird, it's hard to watch him sing for any length of time.....

Ms Sally Ann Howes was very good as Fiona and Frank Fuller or someone was Charlie.....ballet dancer Edward Villella was Harry Beaton - and his sword dance was good......they left out all of the lyrics of the 'chase' which made me sad.....but the sets were very nice....the costumes.....okay....

I saw Mr. Goulet perform only once. He was the headliner in a show at Harrah's Club in Reno. During his openning song he walked around through the tables picking up cigarette packs off of tables and crushing them in his hand. I believe he had recently quit smoking.

I am still thinking about DR JOSE as Linda Low.

It would be one of those performances of which one says "you had to be there."

DR JRand60, PROMENADE opened the Promenade Theatre at 74th and Broadway in late spring, 1969, produced by Edgar Lansbury, with an amazing cast including Madeline Kahn as the Waitress, George S. Irving as the Mayor, Shannon Bolin of DAMN YANKEES as the Mother, Alice Playten as Miss U) and a wonderful cast of singers. It was about two young prisoners who dig their way out of prison to steal their way into society. They encounter the rich snobs (Mr R. Mr S, and Mr T, and Misses I, O, and U), the poor (the waitress, the dishwasher, and the waiter), and end up on a battlefield where the country cannot afford to give the soldiers guns fighting a war for reasons they don't understand while the wealthy perform maypole dances with the wounded soldiers' bandages. The prisoners decide jail is safer.

It's a large dose of theatre of the absurd, and I used to tell people it was as if Ionesco or Samuel Beckett wrote Leonard Bernstein's CANDIDE. When I was doing community theatre in the 1970s, I almost did a production but I wasn't sure I'd have the voices for it. I used to have a complete reel-to-reel performance of the whole score, and I'd love it if an mp3 file turned up some day. The commercial RCA recording is about half of the score, but Alice Playten has this fantastic number, "Capricious and Fickle," about a broken love affair ("In spite of my reputation as a woman with no heart/ I gave my heart to you").

Do you realize that, in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies
running around with tattoos? (And rap music will be the Golden Oldies!)

Thanks. As I'm approaching my late 80s, I'll hope I can remember to blame you for that observation about the society I'll be facing.

Some advice: though MBarnum will be begging to be your chauffeur, don't hire him.
Aren't chauffeurs supposed to keep their hands on the wheel of the car?

Only while the car is moving, not the driver.

Started watching "Rabbit Hole." As the credits rolled, I thought, "Wow, what a great cast: Aaron Eckhart, Jon Tenny, Patricia Kalember, Dianne Wiest, Giancarlo Esposito ..." Now that the movie has started, I realize I should have been saying, "Uh oh, Nicole Kidman." She's killing the movie for me.

Have you ever noticed how in all her press photos she looks as if she's just smelled a really bad fart?

Or she just slept with Tom Cruise.

When I was house pianist at 13 Coins in downtown Portland, Mr. Robert Goulet walked into the joint after a concert he had given across the street at Keller Auditorium. I launched into The Happy Time, which I thought would be a nice, lesser known homage to him. He came over, thanked me, and left me a nice tip.

Was the 13 Coins in Portland related to the two 13 Coins in Seattle?

It's on the calendar in pen since Friday night, and we'd have to get a new 2011 calendar if it didn't happen, and that would just be too much trouble. :)

We differ on whether we want a real big ceremony, though, now that it's a reality. When we were both working, we were going to do something big, but probably not the way things are right now.

Congratulations it will finally happen. No matter what the size will Toby & Dylan be the best men?

I am having the same sheet problem. I think I'll be able to do so in a few days.

DR TCB be very careful with those cords. I have a heating pad one I need to be careful with. It might not be attractive but I have been putting it on top of the bed or between the bed & the night table.

I spent my entire brithday weekend bracing myself for the big surprise. Well, the surprise was on me. Nobody even thought about it.

I can relate to situations like that. My friends keep bugging me to have a party. I just haven't done it. I'm glad I bit the bullet and sent the email out. I've already had a couple responses. I once had an oscar party. I made theme food, had a great spread and granted it was only for about 6 people, but everyone cancelled at the last minute. The part that really stunk was they all had good reasons. I was devastated and promised myself I wouldn't have another party. But, that was when I lived at the lake and my open house was well attended, so it's time to do it.

We differ on whether we want a real big ceremony, though, now that it's a reality. When we were both working, we were going to do something big, but probably not the way things are right now.

Congratulations it will finally happen. No matter what the size will Toby & Dylan be the best men?

I think they would be very cute ring bearers

By the way, FJL's videos are parodies, so they don't fall into the "stupid" category. I think they are hilarious.

Cleaned out 17 plastic storage boxes and took the empty containers to store at my neighbors. I almost have a 2nd room for the 1st time.

That took me 2 days.

Looking forward to 3 days off this weekend.

Got nothing else done, and I mean nothing else.
