Well, you've read the notes, the notes had both words and word substitutions, and now it is time for you to post until the substitution cows come home.

Today's going to be a day.  Theater Artists Olympia is having a work party to help with set painting and a bit of construction.  I think that they're going to feed us, so that'll be nice.  I also don't know how long it'll last.  There's also a work party tomorrow, for even more painting and whatever needs to be done.  We load in next weekend!

Today is a work day.  Oh well.  Only 8 hours. 

We had a FINE day at World of Wisdom yesterday, hopefully another one today.

Thanks to DR JOSE for the link to the WIT opening night photos.  Zachary looks very nice.  And thanks to the DR's for thei comments.  Maybe some NYC DR will get to see the show.  My friend Vickie is going in April.

I can't say I like James Woods. He's no doubt an awfully nice guy in person but he's too good at playing unpleasant characters as in:
"The Specialist" and "Against all Odds".

Brian Dennehy has a much more likeable screen persona. I first noticed him in "10" and then of course "First Blood".

Good morning, all! I slept well with one creppy dream I do not remember at this point. I got up around 7:50, and I've been dealing with laundry, tidying the apartment, emails, and the Herbert liner notes.

The liner notes will take up most of my day, now that the DEAREST ENEMY work is finished for the nonce. I'm currently revising what I wrote last week before I proceed to Disc 3.

I have nothing else to report at this moment.

Alcohol can help one get to sleep, however, it is often the cause of waking up during the night. 

I still remember the whole "Is alcohol a stimulant or depressant?" discussion from my high school's driver's ed/alcohol awareness class. It is a technically a depressant, but the initial "reaction" can be sort of like a stimulant. And, as DR Jane, mentioned, it can cause you to wake up during the night which is caused once the alcohol has metabolized in your body.

I'm also one of those people who can get quite drowsy when I drink alcohol - especially wine. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does...

I still remember one time at Becco when I happened to catch the eye of my waiter at Becco just as I was nodding off at the table - or rather his eye caught mine as my head nodded down. A few seconds later he appeared with a freshly-brewed cup of coffee.* -That was after a negroni and a couple of glasses with wine. Needless to say, we skipped the post-dessert grappa that night. Or did I nod off during the grappa? In any case... ::)

*Tim, our waiter, got a very good tip that night.

DR TCB, how are you feeling today?

I've been to store and returned with vodka. I got about halfway through the Disc 3 songs in seven hours and figured, the hell with it. I'm tired.


You are really going to drink the entire bottle‽  ;)  I don't understand how anyone can drink vodka to begin with.

I can't drink spirits at all. Fortunately I don't have a problem getting to sleep. My problem is trying to stay awake - zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

All sorts of food wake me up if I eat them at night.  Pop corn, chocolate, spirits & sugar to top the list.

Chocolate has a great deal of caffeine in it.

Yes & I have trouble resisting it.

The first morning on Bora Bora we took a tour.  You can see how much the wind was blowing.  My hair almost looks half decent compared to most days on the trip.

I have been sorting and shredding all day.  First I cleaned out the email on my old desktop computer in preparation for banishing it from my study.  Then, while watching the US figure skating championships, I sorted and shredded papers.  Not quite done yet, but needed to give the shredder a break...

My mother complains of not being able to stay asleep at night and I blame the Scotch that she drinks right before she goes to bed.  She pretends that she didn't hear me when I mention it.

Does anyone know why on two of the better (best) songs from Sunset Blvd "With One Look" and "As If We Never Said Goodbye"

There is a credit that says; "Contributions by Amy Powers"?

I know she is is a lyricist. I was wonder why she wasn't credit it as such. I looked at her website

Did you Google her name?

She only worked on those two songs, so they couldn't just list her a lyricist for the entire show.

Well, that didn't stop an "Additional Lyrics" credit on another Webber show I can think of.  :)

I was walking with a neighbor when we lived in Michigan who was concerned about her mother in-law who was staying with them.  On my advice she suggested her MIL not take a drink before bedtime as your mother does.  They were both grateful for my suggestion when the MIL began sleeping through the night.

DR Michael S - As others have pointed out already, Amy Powers is considered a co-writer of "Sunset Blvd." In fact, IIRC, her credit is a result of a lawsuit. You can Google the specifics.

I did. As I said I found own website but it didn't say anything.

Found some others but didn't say what happened.

I guess I didn't put the right google words in

Went to the supermarket today and bought a chicken and Brussels sprouts (my favorite vegetable although oddly enough lots of people don't seem to like them) for tomorrow's roast.

I LOVE roasted Brussels sprouts.

I've never roasted them. Must try that.

Yum. Drizzle some olive oil on them with a little salt and pepper.

Googling tells you everything the press wants you to know.

Don't you suppose the situation was resolved out of court with Miss Powers getting her due share of royalties and credit and everything closed to avoid further embarrassment to Lloyd Webber?

If you want to know more, ask Miss Powers through her website.  While I'm sure she's told her friends plenty, I bet her answer, while she's giving her accountant the taxable income from her royalties last year, would probably be something like "none of your business."

Today's going to be a day.  Theater Artists Olympia is having a work party to help with set painting and a bit of construction.  I think that they're going to feed us, so that'll be nice.  I also don't know how long it'll last.  There's also a work party tomorrow, for even more painting and whatever needs to be done.  We load in next weekend!

Today's work party was, evidently, the most successful (meaning, the most attended) work party that they've ever had!  We had about 10 people there and we got a lot of work done...some people cut wood, I helped paint and screw plywood together, everyone helped assemble set pieces, etc.  We did get fed some pizza, which was quite good.  I got there at about 10:30 am and left at about 4:30 pm.  I came home, watched a bit of TV up in my bedroom, took a nap for about an hour, then watched some more TV.  I finally decided to turn on my computer to check my e-mail and ketchup on HHW. :D

Tomorrow will be Work Party, Part 2.
