Well, you've read the notes, the notes wailed and were august, and now it is time for you to post until the wailing cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: METAPHRASTIC!
-
And a very special haineshisway.com birthday to our very own occasional dear reader, Swishy Sarah!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Happy, happy, Swishy Sarah!
-
I wish you hadn't mentioned "Hamlet" in the notes. I'll be humming that all day today. I hope the people I work with don't tape my mouth shut.
-
Happy, happy, Swishy Sarah!
Ditto!

Can never resist a parody lyric for a DANCING WITH THE STARS cast announcement :) (comment #2 in the Times comment box here)

Good morning, all! I've been dealing with email tsuris this morning for the past two hours: completing the email to the head of the Institute, dealing with a chorus sending unauthorized pdf files of my choral arrangements, and sending my end-of-the-month invoice.
Today, I have little planned except for dinner tonight with my friend Bruce Pomahac, but I have personal work here. My apartment is a total disaster at the moment, and I think that will occupy most of my day. I will call my beloved goddaughter Charlotte about a movie tomorrow or over the weekend.
-
Morning all.
Got up late.
That is all.
-
Happy Birthday to Swishy Sarah!
-
Wednesday morning greetings! Looks like it's going to rain here in SW Ohio - a perfect day to stay home and pack for a festive Labor Day weekend in Michigan.
-
Happiest of birthdays to DR Swishy Sarah!
-
Happy Birthday to Swishy Sarah!
-
It's ALREADY WEDNESDAY or it's ONLY WEDNESDAY-- depending on how you look at it.
-
Happy Birthday to Swishy Sarah!
Ditto!

Yes there is rain here today headed for you DR GINNY....but so far just a light misting.
-
Last day of August vibes for everyone.
-
DR GEORGE you must have been reading my mind when I wrote my post yesterday....it is sort of a funeral. I do not like being in this production.....I have only about 12 lines.....nothing really funny.....and I am only there because the director asked me to do it.
He has THREE other people in the show that were in CAMELOT, so I could have been offered one of those funnier roles, especially since two of them are definitely NOT comic in any way.
And an especially annoying person joined the crew last night - one I hoped I had escaped.....oh well. Two more weeks after this week and the funeral....I mean show....will be OVER.....as will the season.
I am paying $65 a week in gasoline to drive to the theatre for NOTHING.
-
And it doesn't help that the director is completely wrong-headed. I stopped making suggestions.....his reasons for not accepting them are as dumb as his reasons for doing things the way he is....so I give up.
It IS a funny play.....but it could be hilarious.....it was the LAST TIME we did it, when I had a bigger part. I don't even get me started on the "improvements" he has made in the script.
-
I'm up and will have to be jogging in thirty minutes. I was having such interesting dreams until the alarm went off.
-
MY BK has a busy day.....he'd better get started.
-
And the word of the day is: METAPHRASTIC!
And The Song Of The Day Is: L-O-V-E

HAP-HAP SLAP-HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES TO WISHY-WASHY SWISHY SARAH

Jogging in nine minutes? I'm not sure about that just yet.
-
Happy Birthday to Swishy Sarah!

DR Jane, I was shocked but my mom did not know who Nancy Grace was either. She has a show on HLN (thanks to DR RonP) and if you watch CNN maybe you would have seen her. She is on the View sometimes. She talks about legal cases and is very vocal.
When you say who these people are they I know them all. One name i did not know was Hope Solo. But if you tell me that she is the goalie for the US team then I know her. And if you say Elisabetta is George Clooney's former girlfriend then i know her too.
There are a few pairings i find very odd/surprising. Ricki Lake and Derek Hough are one. And Rob Kardashian and Cheryl is another.
I prefer when the pros i like are paired with celebs i like.
So far the pairing i like best is Mark and Kristin. But it totally depends on how everyone dances.
I"m mad that they added 2 new male pros and Dmitry is out this season.

My niece started grade one today. She is has her best friend from kindgarten in her class. And 2 other girls she was friendly with from her class. Plus one of her soccer friends. And she supposedly has the best teacher (there are 5 classes for grade 1).
It is very complicated for them to put the 5 kindergarten classes and make them into 5 new grade one classes. Usually each class gets 2 girls and 2 boys from their kindergarten class. But 2 of my nieces other best friends both got no girls from their previous class. And one of the moms was quite upset about it.
I don't blame her. My niece's class had 4 girls from kindergarten. And these 2 girls get nobody. They were friends. Why not put them in the same class?
-
Nancy Grace is on HLN, part of CNN (it's a Legal News and Views sub-channel).
She's a former judge.
She's "out there" most of the time. IMO, of course.
-
Gosh, DR Jennifer is quoting herself today.
-
I wonder if "Swishy" Sarah will be around today.
If you do drop in, Sarah, just to see if we remember you, I can only say to you
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, "Swishy" Sarah.
I'm guessing those swishy purple shorts are long gone from your wardrobe.
-
I like the title of Today's Notes.
-
Gosh, DR Jennifer is quoting herself today.
Yep! It's easier than to just to ramble on and on in one post. :)
-
And if you say Elisabetta is George Clooney's former girlfriend then i know her too.
This makes one a star??
-
Did the four-mile jog right at eight. Answering e-mails and not happy with the slowness of this here site right now and if it continues for another five minutes, time to write a note. Actually, I think it's really time to completely redesign the site and upgrade the board and host elsewhere.
-
Nancy Grace had the famous quote "dancing with the devil," which I assume will come up during the show.
-
Allergies are very bad today.
-
Good Morning! Good Afternoon!
I'm up, I'm up... And I finally got more than 4 hours of sleep last night.
-
...And now time to catch up...
-

In the case of "Dancing With the Stars", "star" is a euphemism for anyone from a bona fide celebrity to a bottom-feeder.
-
Karma for Jack...trapped in a loveless production! ;)

...to ketchup...

AARRGGHH!! I feel your pain. I did a show where one of the actors decided to "improve" Joyce Carol Oates! How do you "improve" Joyce Carol Oates??
-
Morning all.
Got up late.
That is all.
That's you all over!

I'm still trying to understand where May went...and how June, July and August slid past me.
-
A Very Happy Birthday to former DR §wishy §arah!! ;D

Oh...
Our newest addition to the cast of Oklahoma! started last night, and she did a wonderful job. And because everyone is now up to speed, as it were, on their various tracks (and variations thereof), they did not schedule an understudy rehearsal for today. -This is my first free Wednesday in over a month. -Which is also why I let myself sleep in until Noon.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR SWISHY SARAH!!!!!
-
And now I need to accomplish some thing offline...
Laters...
-
DR Ron Pulliam - Thanks for sharing your "sad" story yesterday.
You're welcome DR JoseSPiano. Any time I can bring a little gloom into your exciting life my efforts ain't been in vain for nothing!
:D
-
And now I need to accomplish some thing offline...
Thank you for reminding me I need to send flowers to my mother-in-law.
-
I have no idea why that reminded me. I read it is "online." So it really makes no sense.
-
I was about to kvetch on line about why I had "extra buttons" for every piece of clothing except the one for which I needed an extra button when - VOILA! - I found the button I needed! And I only had to clean out 2 of my 9 dresser drawers to find it!
-
Now that Charlotte is back in Manhattan, I have a movie date again. Tomorrow afternoon we are seeing THE HELP, and I'm very happy about it.
-
DR Elmore - I hope you and Charlotte enjoy THE HELP. Have you read the book?
-
Good evening all

ASK BK:
Two Kritzerland questions.
1) How come Jeepers Creepers is no longer part of the Kritzerland's catalogue.?
2) I noticed that the Kritzerlnd news is from 2010. Do you plan to update it?
-
Nancy Grace is on HLN, part of CNN (it's a Legal News and Views sub-channel).

She's "out there" most of the time. IMO, of course.
That is a diplomatic way to phrase it!

Well...
As the Earth spins on its own axis, it is also in orbit around the Sun...
A crazy planet full of crazy people,
Is somersaulting all around the sky.
And everytime it turns another somersault,
Another day goes by.
And there's no way to stop it,
No, there's no way to stop it.
No, you can't stop it even if you tried.
So, I'm not going to worry,
No, I'm not going to worry,
Everytime I see another day go by.
-
Getting enough posts in today is going to be tough when I keep getting kicked off of the board.
-
And now I need to accomplish some thing offline...
Thank you for reminding me I need to send flowers to my mother-in-law.
Is today your mother-in-law's birthday, Laura?
-
Today I got the call from the surgeon's office saying that they had sent the referral for the CAT scan.
-
I called immediately and was told they could squeeze me in on Friday afternoon. (That was quick!)
-
As directed by the surgeon's office, I immediately called to make my follow-up appointment with the surgeon. I thought, "Wow, things are really starting to move forward."
-
The surgeon's office set me up for their first available appointment....................................
-
September 29.
-
I think I will jump off of a bridge.
-
DR John G I'm happy to hear your friend Carol and her property are fine.
-
And since there isn't any big rush for the CAT scan, I called back and rescheduled the appointment for a more convenient early afternoon appointment next Wednesday.
-
DR SWISHY, HAVE A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I would like for her story to reach the news. Possibly some of her friends are working on that. She finally got some sleep last night and one lone man was cleaning her basement.

I need to start playing in 10 minutes, so I guess I should don my plaid.

Call back and tell them that. Seriously!

Well, Parade is almost cast. It was a great night at callbacks and I'm happy with what we have.
First day back at school. It's like we never left, except the kids are in different grades. It was a great day.
DD Ben and I will head to my Nunsense (with a Twist) rehearsal this eve for a run-through. Pray for Rosemary's baby as the director doesn't really "get" the material and doesn't play it for what it is, in fact - at our first meeting he actually said "This show is really stupid, but we'll make it work". I almost died. The "twist" is that one of the nuns is a guy (Shhhh.... it's suppose to be on the DL) Whatever...

2) I noticed that the Kritzerlnd news is from 2010. Do you plan to update it?
Jeeper's was never really part of our catalog and at some point I may, in fact, repress it and sell.
Yes, I'll be updating the news section regularly starting in September.
-
Had a nice lunch meeting that eventually could yield some interesting projects for Kritzerland. Then I went to my engineer's and we finessed the mix of Melodyland - it sounds wonderful now - I made some little cuts and I'm pleased with it. Melody has to now come in and add one short line of patter that she forgot (it's an important joke set-up) and fix a lyric she got wrong - just two lines.
-
Today I got the call from the surgeon's office saying that they had sent the referral for the CAT scan.
Great!

Also had a call from Miss Cindy Williams - hadn't spoken to her in ages - we're talking again on Friday evening and then, of course, I'll see her at the Ray Courts show, where I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun and be able to sup, perhaps even with Penny and Henry (Marshall and Winkler).
-
I think I will jump off of a bridge.
Call back and tell them that. Seriously!
She promised to put my on the "wait list" in case something opens up.
-
Welcome thirty-two GUESTS. Who ARE you people?

I had a nice hike with my group this morning followed by a stop at a coffee house. I had my usual hot chocolate.
Two of the gentlemen in my group are part of a Marching Band, in 6/8 time. They have been asked to march in the, first time ever, Ashland Gay Parade and are wondering what would be appropriated. Any suggestions? I told them I could get loads of ideas for them.
-

That was going to be my question. I'm wondering what people who have read the book think of the movie.
Well, I watched the movie thinking how glad I was I'd read the book first, but DR Cillaliz said yesterday (?) that she's reading the book now and is glad she'd seen the movie first.
-
I have not read THE HELP.

Why is the Ray Courts Chicago Show listing you and Cindy as a Reunion Special for THE CREATURE WASN'T NICE, but not for FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL?
Because apparently the man who runs the show doesn't hear well or read well - I told him we did BOTH Nudie and Creature.
-
ASK BK DAY, Part Two
Will the Blu-ray version of NUDIE be ready for the Ray Courts Show?
I wish, but it's doubtful. Once I approve the authored disc, then it goes to the pressing plant, but we haven't even turned in the print yet.

Just had to share this clip of DR elmore's beloved Rebecca Luker:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT_EdH6YcP8&NR=1
I think she's even better here than on the Music Man Cast Album.
-
Funny, Modern Family opened with a scene showing how badly Gloria (Sofia Vergara) sings. A couple of years ago she was cast as Mama Morton (!) in Chicago, the Musical, opposite our own Mr. Barrett.
-
Intermission!
-
DR Elmore - I hope you and Charlotte enjoy THE HELP. Have you read the book?
That was going to be my question. I'm wondering what people who have read the book think of the movie.
Well, I watched the movie thinking how glad I was I'd read the book first,
Is that because you felt much was left out of the movie? Often when I have read a book I fill in the missing pieces for Keith while we are watching the movie.
-
Intermission!
Jose-- I meant to mention how funny it was at Oklahoma Sunday when the kid in the audience made a "eewww" sound when the leads kissed! "Curly" was laughing a little, but from what I could tell, "Laurie" didn't change her expression.

Does anyone have an opinion of the US remake of "Prime Suspect?" Maria Bello is playing the lead role that Helen Mirren played. I never watched the original, so I don't have an opinion.

My niece started grade one today. She is has her best friend from kindgarten in her class. And 2 other girls she was friendly with from her class. Plus one of her soccer friends. And she supposedly has the best teacher (there are 5 classes for grade 1).
It is very complicated for them to put the 5 kindergarten classes and make them into 5 new grade one classes. Usually each class gets 2 girls and 2 boys from their kindergarten class. But 2 of my nieces other best friends both got no girls from their previous class. And one of the moms was quite upset about it.
I don't blame her. My niece's class had 4 girls from kindergarten. And these 2 girls get nobody. They were friends. Why not put them in the same class?
I'm glad it worked out well for your niece.
I'm happy too. But i feel bad for the other girls.

Can never resist a parody lyric for a DANCING WITH THE STARS cast announcement :) (update on the one I put in the Times comment box)
tune of GYPSIES TRAMPS AND THIEVES
He was born to the stars of a CBS show
His Mama used to set stage and screen all aglow
Papa was in Congress, did best that he could
Now Chaz is in the spotlight
He will be a winner even if he’s not good
Stiff knees, cramps and heaves
They’ll get ‘em while they’re dancin’ in the fall
They’re knowin’
Each week someone leaves
That’s when they wait for the audience to call
All for a mirror ball
Up against stars like David Arquette
Also Ricki Lake, that’d sure make me sweat
Even two pros from the world of sports
Nancy Grace gets hostile
Wouldn’t mess with her if she gets out of sorts
Stiff knees, cramps and heaves
Hey, look there's Carson Kressley in the hall
And Chynna
Each week someone leaves
That’s when they wait for the audience to call
All for a mirror ball
;D

Does anyone have an opinion of the US remake of "Prime Suspect?" Maria Bello is playing the lead role that Helen Mirren played. I never watched the original, so I don't have an opinion.
I would watch Maria Bello in almost anything, but as Jane Tennyson? Even an American one? As long as they're not too slavish to the original, it should be OK. As spectacular as Mirren was, the writing was as much of a star as she was.

And it doesn't help that the director is completely wrong-headed. I stopped making suggestions.....his reasons for not accepting them are as dumb as his reasons for doing things the way he is....so I give up.
It IS a funny play.....but it could be hilarious.....it was the LAST TIME we did it, when I had a bigger part. I don't even get me started on the "improvements" he has made in the script.
AARRGGHH!! I feel your pain. I did a show where one of the actors decided to "improve" Joyce Carol Oates! How do you "improve" Joyce Carol Oates??
????? That's a bummer. >:(

I feel your pain.
I decided to get a new doctor's opinion on my diabetes, but I really hate the insulin. Called two weeks ago. First available appointment: Sept. 23.

DR John G I'm happy to hear your friend Carol and her property are fine.
thank you much.

Had a nice lunch meeting that eventually could yield some interesting projects for Kritzerland. Then I went to my engineer's and we finessed the mix of Melodyland - it sounds wonderful now - I made some little cuts and I'm pleased with it. Melody has to now come in and add one short line of patter that she forgot (it's an important joke set-up) and fix a lyric she got wrong - just two lines.
When will you be offering it for sale?

Richard just read in a magazine that there's a new Miss Marple series in the works with guess-who cast as the spunky elderly detective...
Catherine Zeta-Jones or Brittney Spears
Almost, DR TCB...
Not Debra Messing!

Jennifer Garner (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/film-blog/8413585/Casting-Jennifer-Garner-as-Miss-Marple-is-a-travesty.html)
Jennifer? Garner?
I missed that. Miss Marple? Maybe her illegitimate granddaughter.

"My Little Chickadee" is tonight's choice. What fun.

In a month or two, I think.

Finished writing the commentary, and finished working at the piano. I don't know if I have any energy left to start and/or finish any liner notes, but we'll see. I don't even have the energy to watch a motion picture.
-
I hear ya on the lack of energy. Night, all.

;D

No jumping off bridges. :(

Again another much to say day.
;D

This weekend, sleep, lots of sleep. Walking on the beach. Walking Main St. Music at home, lots of music at home. Laying in the sun naked. Live music at Bernadett's Friday night and Sunday afternoon. Yard work. 3 x 7am meetings and breakfast out. Diet, diet. Gym, gym, gym.
:)

Goodnight everyone. I just got really tired.
Sweet dreams.
;D

Oh, and no boys. 8)

Good Evening!

Intermission!
Jose-- I meant to mention how funny it was at Oklahoma Sunday when the kid in the audience made a "eewww" sound when the leads kissed! "Curly" was laughing a little, but from what I could tell, "Laurie" didn't change her expression.
Every now and then we get some sort of reaction to that kiss - both intentional and unintentional, so to speak. Tonight, someone happened to blow their nose right after the kiss. <HONK> -Needless to say, a case of the giggles quickly made its way around the pit. -I'm waiting for our first school matinee in September later this morning. I'm sure the reactions will be quite audible.
-
The relationship became a volatile cocktail waiting for a spark to ignite.
Intense but very dangerous. Both our lives up in flames.
:'(
Much needed time to chill. Much needed time to chill.
There is a thin line, very thin line, between love and hate. :-\

Hugs.

I have not read THE HELP.
It's good

Does anyone have an opinion of the US remake of "Prime Suspect?" Maria Bello is playing the lead role that Helen Mirren played. I never watched the original, so I don't have an opinion.
From what I can tell from the commercials, it looks like they're just doing their own (American) thing. I hope.

Thanks, John G!
