Post by: elmore3003 on July 23, 2011, 06:18:40 AM: Good morning, all! I slept later than I wished since i would like to have finished the laundry earlier than I will. Thank God it's only a block walk. I also slept well last night and that's a bonus.

Once the laundry is begun, I have to tidy the apartment, vacuum and mop. Following that, the day is my own. I'm staying inside, working on personal projects or watching DVDs. I have two free days before we have the week to finish up EILEEN for shipment to Dublin. I think we're in good shape, though. And right on schedule.

DR John G, Danny Troob is doing the orchestrations for the new stage version of ALADDIN that just opened in Seattle. What the world needs: another "cartoon" musical to open on the Manhattan theme park that was once called Broadway. I'm sure it will sound fantastic, but you know my personal thoughts about the orchestrator, and I admit that I am really sick of Disney muscals. The only redeeming thng about this one is that it's directed by Casey Nicolaw, and I think he's wonderful.

To the laundromat.

Post by: FJL on July 23, 2011, 06:33:54 AM: BK - I know you've had some bad experience with seating at the Eclectic Cafe, but glad you're giving them another chance - it was one of my favorite dining experiences in my brief L.A. trip years back, even though I can't recall what specific dishes we had.

Hoped to have gone there more than once, but the group of friends I was with really wanted to sample different places rather than repeat, and one of my friends was doing the driving, so I didn't get to go back to Eclectic Cafe a second time that trip..

Post by: JMK on July 23, 2011, 08:29:13 AM: George, yes, DVDs are only 20% off. I imagine it's because they're overstocked on BDs and want to clear those out. Which they pretty much did at "my" store after I visited last night. ;)

Post by: MBarnum on July 23, 2011, 08:33:38 AM: I had planned to give my sister a break this weekend by dog sitting my nephew's family's dog, Pepper. When last I saw Pepper a few months back he was a mellow, easy going pup who barely bothered to so much as get up and walk to the other side of a room...but now, at about 7 months old, he is quite a bit more...active.

So, since I don't want to get evicted, I chose not to dog sit!

...but I did take Pepper for a very long walk and then played fetch with him for what seemed like hours...that dog just never tired out!

He is sort of a lab/pointer mix, from the looks of him...and despite being named Pepper, he is not black, but rather reddish and blondish mixed colors...but the kids named him.

Title: Re: THE JETS RUMBLE
Post by: bk on July 23, 2011, 09:52:56 AM: I'm up after eight and a half hours of sleep. Not quite what I'd hoped for but better than less than eight. Now, here is the interesting thing. I got into bed. Each night before going to sleep I play a couple of silly solitaire games on the iPad. I've been doing this for about a year now. Well, guess what? As I was playing, the Jacuzzi jets turned on again and would not turn off. I went outside and did the breaker thing and it was fine again, but I'm now thinking something in that game or in the iPad itself is triggering something in the Jacuzzi? I know it sounds weird but for this to happen twice while I'm using that device can't be coincidence, can it? I don't really want to try it again, but can any of our technical whizzes tell me if that's possible. It's never happened before, but this is now twice in a row.

Title: Re: THE JETS RUMBLE
Post by: Jeanne on July 23, 2011, 12:54:49 PM: I, too, am having problems sleeping. A neighbor of mine and I both complained to the manager about the young couple next to me (and above him). They've been quieter since the manager spoke to them, but last night they had guests again and didn't quiet down until after midnight. Normally, I wouldn't mind, but the neighbor on the other side gets up early and his rattling around wakes me up. I think the "youngsters" would be happier in a building with lots of students. There are plenty of them around here. Some days, like today, I'm so tired I can barely function. Some people say that as you get older you need less sleep. Hasn't happened to me! I NEED sleep!

They said it's not an unusual reaction to the anesthetic. Since it's a shelter, I'm sure it is the cheapest available that is not used in private practice. They said it's usually better after one day, but should be better by tomorrow. Good heavens, I hope so!

DR John G, Danny Troob is doing the orchestrations for the new stage version of ALADDIN that just opened in Seattle. What the world needs: another "cartoon" musical to open on the Manhattan theme park that was once called Broadway. I'm sure it will sound fantastic, but you know my personal thoughts about the orchestrator, and I admit that I am really sick of Disney muscals. The only redeeming thng about this one is that it's directed by Casey Nicolaw, and I think he's wonderful.

One of my co-workers went to see ALADDIN. She said that the Genie was hysterical and almost managed to save the show. She said that the show spent too much time focused on Jafar and that he was boring, boring, boring. She said that Aladdin and Jasmine were okay, but that they really lacked any chemisty.

Andrew Jacobs as Aladdin.

Post by: TCB on July 23, 2011, 05:00:10 PM: About two hours ago, I was sitting on my bed changing out of lounge pants and into my jeans. I got myself to a standing position so that I could buckle my belt. I started to fall forward, and I wasn't sure that I was close enough to stop myself against the wall without falling flat on my face. Well, I caught myself on the wall, but I guess I clenched all the muscles in my hip area as I was falling.

I suddenly got this horrible burning pain in my loins and my rear end. It was as if someone had lit my body on fire. It hurt so bad, that I literally screamed out in pain. I immediately took my pain pills ( a little early), and after an hour with no relief, I took a third pain pill. Now the pain is, at least, tolerable, but I have no idea what I have done to myself now.

I've seen a lot of cabaret performers - most work too hard, most do acts that are ill-conceived and not well thought out, at least in my opinion. This little thirteen-year-old knows how to take the stage, has gotten better and better with connecting each piece of the show, has her patter down but never seems like she's reciting, and makes each song fresh and interesting. Her poise is amazing. Today was the best she's been. I had only a half-page of notes, and I know that when we run again, those notes will not longer be an issue.
