Today, I will be working concessions for a local production of "The Nutcracker" ballet.  I may go in to watch for a little bit, but I'm not a great fan of this ballet.  I loved Mark Morris' "The Hard Nut (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsK33m6f3o8)," but this will be the traditional version.

I attempted to start doing my Christmas cards today but the Royal Mail online postage website is having technical problems. I've already lost several payments because the site would either not print the postage labels or would print garbled labels. There is an apology on the site and they say they will give refunds but at the moment the online postage facility is not working at all. It seems that the company which manages the online postage moved it onto a new server about two weeks ago and there have been problems since then.

DR Jennifer - If your mother did end up getting you a Kindle, would she be offended if you returned it for store credit and/or another item?

No she probably wouldn't mind if i returned it. But i'm just wondering if there was some kind of special (why she had to rush to the store when it opened).

Congrats on the free Kindle!  Mine was free, too, but I got mine with points from my debit card.  The 3G is cell phone technology...meaning, you can use it anywhere you could use a cell phone.  Mine doesn't have 3G, either.  I can download to the Kindle through a USB cable from my computer or use Wi-Fi.  They all should have that.  And you will use the keyboard.  You can search a document, there's a web browser (if you have Wi-Fi), things like that.

So without 3G just means i cannot download books anywhere (only where there is wifi?)

I'm curious when you send a book from amazon to your computer and then to your kindle, do you need to have an app on your computer for this?

Also, (and forgive how dumb these questions sound) I know to buy a book from amazon you have to have your kindle registered. But then i'm curious what the process is after that. For instance i have a giftcard in my account. Does the kindle book just go to your computer/kindle as soon as you buy it. Is there an option to choose my giftcard as payment (i think you have to set up a certain credit card as the payment card).

I'm trying to figure out if people in canada use their kindles differently (i.e., if it is cheaper to send it to your computer and then USB it to your kindle or just sending it straight to kindle).

NYC Weekend continued:

For DR TCB and anyone else who's wondering how On A Clear Day handles the switch from David Gamble to Melinda Wells:   When David is under hypnosis, he starts to channel(?) Melinda.  The sofa he's sitting on turns around and he disappears and we see Melinda.   So whenever Dr. Mark Bruckner is talking to Melinda we see the actress (who's a terrific singer, by the way), except at the end of Act One when Mark is kissing Melinda and she steps aside and David is in her place.  The lighting is kind of dark.  So Mark just starts to kiss David and the curtain falls!

I was woken up last night about 1.00am in the morning by the TV switching itself on. This has been happening about once a week since I bought the TV in October. It doesn't just switch itself on - it turns up the volume to maximum so there's no way I can sleep through it! I contacted the manufacturers LG today and they say it's probably trying to update the software. They suggest I go into the menu and turn the auto software update off. So I've done that which hopefully will cure the problem - but it must be some sort of design fault, otherwise why have an auto update if you can't use it.

As I mentioned yesterday, the singing was really great in "Clear Day."  After reading so much criticism of the actor who plays David ( I just tried to look up his name online, but the internet connection is maddingly slow), I was pleasantly surprised by his performance.  He was very likeable and had a very pleasant singing voice.  And at the stage door he was very grateful to the people who wanted his autograph.  

And the actress who plays Melinda as well as the one who plays Dr. Bruckner's colleague were also terrific.  

As for Harry Connick, I enjoyed his performance.  It took a little getting used to his rendition of the songs, which he sang in his own style, of course.    

Okay, I have to mention "She Wasn't You," which is sung in different versions , including the one sung by Barbra in the movie.   It is ultimately sung by four people (Mark, David, Mark's colleague and Warren (David's boyfriend).  And none of them sung the high notes at the end that our own B Barrett did on his Alan Jay Lerner CD (or in the City Center Encores production of On a Clear Day).


Tonight is the premiere.  I'm going to try and go to see the "Red Carpet" entrances.

On to Hugh Jackman.   It was really a great show--he's quite the showman and a great dancer.   Not a great singer, but certainly entertaining.  Very funny!  And loves doing the Peter Allen character, which he did at the start of Act 2.  

About 10 minutes into the show there were some latecomers.  He asked them how dinner was.   They said the reason they were late was the traffic.  Hugh then mentioned something about Nancy Pelosi being in town (I guess saying that she caused the traffic problem).  Well, a couple of people, notably someone in the front row booed loudly.  Hugh said "Don't boo!  She' s here tonight!"  Sure enough, I looked back and there she was in an aisle seat on the left side about 12 rows back.  Hugh welcomed her and mentioned she was the first female Speaker of the House. She got a nice round of applause.

Hugh J's show included 6 female dancers (and a couple of them did a little singing) as well as 4 Australian aborigines, who performed a song, which included the playing of two digeridoos (I think that's how you spell it). 

Hugh asked an older gentleman named Bob to come up on the stage with him.  He was a big hit, looking like he was right at home!  His wife was beaming when he answered Hugh's question about why he looked so happy. He said "I love my life and I love my wife."

Title: Re: THE RADICAL BURRITO
Post by: KevinH on December 11, 2011, 06:10:55 AM
After the show, Hugh explained that this is the time of the year that the theatres all raise money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids.  So he started an auction for a meet-and -greet backstage, a photo and his autographed t-shirt (that he had worn on stage).  He started the bidding at $1,000.  The Nancy Pelosi-hater said "let's just make it "10,000."  Hugh looked stunned and said "how about $11,000."  Someone in the mezzanine bid that amount.  So the NP guy said "how about $20,000?"  So Hugh stopped the bidding and someone brought out another t-shirt (from Act 1).  He said he'd like to auction both and wondered whether the bidder in the mezzanine would go for $20,000.  The man said yes, after his wife advised him to.   So he made $40,000 in about 5 minutes.   

There was also an offer to go backstage for a photo for $2,500. 

I went to the stage door, not thinking I'd get close enough, but I did manage to get my playbill signed (the secret is to politely put reach over the person in front of you and put the playbill in front of the person signing, patiently waiting your turn!).

Good morning, all! I was tormented by several dreams about recording in Ireland, but I would swear I was in Australia, which means that even in my dreams my sense of geography is totally screwed up.

After my COPS break - did the episodes deal with anything but prostitution last night? - I worked a while on a mess of a number called "Hot Spot," and around 10:30 I watched a DVD, the 2008 movie of EASY VIRTUE with Colin Firth and Jessiva Biel. It's loosely based on a 1924 comedy by Noel Coward, but it's been rewritten by its director to add some stupid slapstick about killing a dog, a lot of Anglo-American differences, and a revised ending with Mr Firth leaving his über-bitch wife for his daughter-in-law. I felt we'd gone from one Noel Coward play to another, DESIGN FO LIVING. It was also quite full of"watch this cool director" shots. O sort of liked it.

Today, more "Hot Spot" from ROBERTA, and if/when I finish it today, I'll proceed to another number.

Thanks, again, for the travel vibes. I did have a little trouble checking in since, apparently, when I tried to check in last night online, JetBlue's computer system was upgrading, so it did not completely go through. Thankfully, the gate agent figured out what the issue was, and got everything straightened out. She also very graciously dealt with my sleep- and caffeine-deprived brain - I had not consolidated my carry-ons down to two items, and she gently suggested which bag I could place in which bag.

The flight from Dulles to JFK was very nice and uneventful. I even ended up with the same flight crew I had yesterday on my flight from Long Beach. Best of all, it was not a full flight and I had the row to myself. :)

I went ahead and splurged on a cab back into the city from JFK. When I got into the taxi line, the dispatcher and some of the drivers had a case of the giggles. Apparently, it was a very slow morning at the Jet Blue terminal at JFK. I got in my cab around 9:40am. My cab driver got to the JFK cab lot at 5:00am... I was his first fare of the day!?!?!

Elmore, I just bought "Easy Virtue" for $3 at Big Lots and sort of enjoyed it, too. I really wish, though, that people would stop lumping Noel and Cole together on soundtracks like that. Especially when the songs are played as instrumentals, you can tell the vast different in their musical styles.

But I thought the movie could have been a lot worse. And Kristin Scott Thomas deserves some sort of award for allowing herself to be seen in such a completely unflattering light.

After the show, Hugh explained that this is the time of the year that the theatres all raise money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids.  So he started an auction for a meet-and -greet backstage, a photo and his autographed t-shirt (that he had worn on stage).  He started the bidding at $1,000.  The Nancy Pelosi-hater said "let's just make it "10,000."  Hugh looked stunned and said "how about $11,000."  Someone in the mezzanine bid that amount.  So the NP guy said "how about $20,000?"  So Hugh stopped the bidding and someone brought out another t-shirt (from Act 1).  He said he'd like to auction both and wondered whether the bidder in the mezzanine would go for $20,000.  The man said yes, after his wife advised him to.   So he made $40,000 in about 5 minutes.   


WOW!

Today's Favorite Old TV Guide Ad:  "Can these stripes really protect me from careless item pricing?"  A full page ad with a somewhat frightened looking woman holding what looks like a box of Saran Wrap with the "newfangled" technology of a UPC code on the bottom of the box.  The ad goes into quite a bit of detail about how this incredible new convenience works.  :)

MBarnum would probably love the 1959 TV Guide as it sports *several* half page ads of a shirtless Clint Walker, proclaiming him "ready for action."  ;)

Later in the series they stopped having him remove his shirt every episode.  It got to be a joke guessing when the "moment" would happen.

Sorry, I do birthday wishes for dear readers here.  He's been coming to this site for many years.  Daily.  And I think a simple two-minute visit here to acknowledge everyone's wishes would have been nice.  It's so funny to me when people use this "he's working and taking less time to play on the computer" thing - it just doesn't compute to me.  I think it's been pretty obvious that I've been VERY busy doing any number of projects in the last three months - endless work - I find time to make a post or two and write the notes - every day.  It doesn't take me very long.

Congrats on the free Kindle!  Mine was free, too, but I got mine with points from my debit card.  The 3G is cell phone technology...meaning, you can use it anywhere you could use a cell phone.  Mine doesn't have 3G, either.  I can download to the Kindle through a USB cable from my computer or use Wi-Fi.  They all should have that.  And you will use the keyboard.  You can search a document, there's a web browser (if you have Wi-Fi), things like that.

So without 3G just means i cannot download books anywhere (only where there is wifi?)

I'm curious when you send a book from amazon to your computer and then to your kindle, do you need to have an app on your computer for this?

Also, (and forgive how dumb these questions sound) I know to buy a book from amazon you have to have your kindle registered. But then i'm curious what the process is after that. For instance i have a giftcard in my account. Does the kindle book just go to your computer/kindle as soon as you buy it. Is there an option to choose my giftcard as payment (i think you have to set up a certain credit card as the payment card).

I'm trying to figure out if people in canada use their kindles differently (i.e., if it is cheaper to send it to your computer and then USB it to your kindle or just sending it straight to kindle).



Jennifer, not trying to pass the buck, but I would suggest that you go to Amazon.com and Search the Kindle Store for Kindle Support.  They really have everything you could possibly want to know about the Kindle and downloading of books.  I would not want to give you any false information.

I would tell you that you do not want to download a book to your computer and then to the Kindle.  I don't have 3G on mine, but I download just fine.  I believe (and here I go giving possible wrong info) every Kindle has Wireless, you just need to turn it on when you want to order a book, and turn it back off after the book downloads.  You can do that by clicking on the Menu button.

As I mentioned yesterday, the singing was really great in "Clear Day."  After reading so much criticism of the actor who plays David ( I just tried to look up his name online, but the internet connection is maddingly slow), I was pleasantly surprised by his performance.  He was very likeable and had a very pleasant singing voice.  And at the stage door he was very grateful to the people who wanted his autograph.  

And the actress who plays Melinda as well as the one who plays Dr. Bruckner's colleague were also terrific.  

As for Harry Connick, I enjoyed his performance.  It took a little getting used to his rendition of the songs, which he sang in his own style, of course.    

Okay, I have to mention "She Wasn't You," which is sung in different versions , including the one sung by Barbra in the movie.   It is ultimately sung by four people (Mark, David, Mark's colleague and Warren (David's boyfriend).  And none of them sung the high notes at the end that our own B Barrett did on his Alan Jay Lerner CD (or in the City Center Encores production of On a Clear Day).


Tonight is the premiere.  I'm going to try and go to see the "Red Carpet" entrances.

So, Kevin, do you think it will be a "hit" or a "miss?"

I went ahead and splurged on a cab back into the city from JFK. When I got into the taxi line, the dispatcher and some of the drivers had a case of the giggles. Apparently, it was a very slow morning at the Jet Blue terminal at JFK. I got in my cab around 9:40am. My cab driver got to the JFK cab lot at 5:00am... I was his first fare of the day!?!?!


Isn't that something like an eight hour cab ride?

Jennifer, not trying to pass the buck, but I would suggest that you go to Amazon.com and Search the Kindle Store for Kindle Support.  They really have everything you could possibly want to know about the Kindle and downloading of books.  I would not want to give you any false information.

I would tell you that you do not want to download a book to your computer and then to the Kindle.  I don't have 3G on mine, but I download just fine.  I believe (and here I go giving possible wrong info) every Kindle has Wireless, you just need to turn it on when you want to order a book, and turn it back off after the book downloads.  You can do that by clicking on the Menu button.

I've emailed support on amazon. They give very general answers instead of really answering you.

I've been reading various threads on kindle support. But there are so many. And i haven't found anything that really answers exactly what i want to know (mainly the stuff about canada). I'd rather just talk to an actual person who lives in canada vs reading threads some of which are years old (and the stuff might have changed).

DR Elmore - no big plans for this birthday.  We went to Lima for church and stopped at Culver's for lunch on the way back.  Because it's my birthday, I ordered my own French fries (instead of just eating a few of Richard's) and a turtle sundae all to myself.  We usually split one.

I'm up, finally, after a good night's sleep.  And yes, where is MBarnum?  Someone please write him and find out the deal.

DR TCB & I both mentioned he is working & taking less time on the computer for play.  Why not send him a birthday email.

Sorry, I do birthday wishes for dear readers here.  He's been coming to this site for many years.  Daily.  And I think a simple two-minute visit here to acknowledge everyone's wishes would have been nice.  It's so funny to me when people use this "he's working and taking less time to play on the computer" thing - it just doesn't compute to me.  I think it's been pretty obvious that I've been VERY busy doing any number of projects in the last three months - endless work - I find time to make a post or two and write the notes - every day.  It doesn't take me very long.

Some people aren't as focused as you are.  I know as I am one of those people.  He will be back when he finishes what he is working on.

Congrats on the free Kindle!  Mine was free, too, but I got mine with points from my debit card.  The 3G is cell phone technology...meaning, you can use it anywhere you could use a cell phone.  Mine doesn't have 3G, either.  I can download to the Kindle through a USB cable from my computer or use Wi-Fi.  They all should have that.  And you will use the keyboard.  You can search a document, there's a web browser (if you have Wi-Fi), things like that.

So without 3G just means i cannot download books anywhere (only where there is wifi?)

I'm curious when you send a book from amazon to your computer and then to your kindle, do you need to have an app on your computer for this?

Also, (and forgive how dumb these questions sound) I know to buy a book from amazon you have to have your kindle registered. But then i'm curious what the process is after that. For instance i have a giftcard in my account. Does the kindle book just go to your computer/kindle as soon as you buy it. Is there an option to choose my giftcard as payment (i think you have to set up a certain credit card as the payment card).

I'm trying to figure out if people in canada use their kindles differently (i.e., if it is cheaper to send it to your computer and then USB it to your kindle or just sending it straight to kindle).



Jennifer,   I believe (and here I go giving possible wrong info) every Kindle has Wireless, you just need to turn it on when you want to order a book, and turn it back off after the book downloads.  You can do that by clicking on the Menu button.

This reminded my the 99 cent book I ordered hasn't downloaded to my Nook.  It is possible I haven't left the Nook on long enough for the book to download-trying that now.

I'm back from my day in the theatre district.   It wasn't nearly as great as yesterday, but still a nice day.   I went to the Book of Mormon Lottery.  It was really something.  You can ask for 1 or 2 tickets on your entry.  Well, since there was a winner who only wanted one ticket, the last winner could also only have one ticket.  I think three people turned it down because their mate/companion couldn't go.  Then the guy called name after name and no one responded!  I thought my chances were getting better!  Then he called one more and the young woman decided to take one ticket.  

So it was over to the TKTS booth.  I got a ticket for Chinglish.  It was very amusing.  It's about an American businessman who's in China trying to make a deal to make signs in English for a small (4 million population) city.  The play shows how very different our cultures are.  I really enjoyed it, especially the English translations of Chinese that were printed on a screenn above the stage.

After the show I made my way over to 44th Street (from 48th) for the On a Clear Day premiere.  I saw all the camera people and red carpet, but no stars. Maybe there had been some earlier.

I then went to see David Hyde Pierce and Rosie Perez in a show called "Close Up Space."  (it's "close" as in close the door----David plays an editor).  Let's just say it's not my cup of tea.  The acting was good and there were a few amusing moments, but it isn't a show I'd recommend.  One good thing--it was only 90 minutes with no intermission!

Beautiful tree, Ginny!  There was a great HGTV special on tonight about decorating the White House and your tree would fit right in.  :)

Re: tonight's TAR.  (No real spoilers here)--I learned to type on an old typewriter that didn't have a "1" and I still remember my Dad showing me to use the little "l".  :)  I would have aced that challenge.

Jane, we can agree to not agree.  He's been around this here site long enough to know he was going to get many, many birthday wishes from many, many people who've been very nice to him.  To not take ten seconds to come here and acknowledge those wishes seems weird to me.  I'm sure he'll be back when he's finished doing whatever it is he's doing, but in the meantime I just found it a bit of bad form to not stop by for a moment and thank the folks who left him the wishes.
