Post by: bk on July 18, 2012, 12:30:31 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes danced but with only two veils, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently doing the Dance of the Seven Veils and it's udderly delightful.

Good morning, all! I will be off to Toyland shortly. I need to begin sorting things for this (hopeful) move on Friday, and I want to be at the office to deal with any possible emergencies.  At least things are now moving toward accomplishing this evacuation and move-in by August 1, and I hope it all continues smoothly.

On a more excting newsfront, I learned this morning that Stephen Rea, who starred in THE CRYING GAME, will be our General George Washington for DEAREST ENEMY. I am very excited about this.  August 11 is looming nearer. Yesterday I asked one of our fantastic copyists to make a slight change in the scores and parts for one of Kim Criswell's numbers, so I have to deal with those fixes as well today.

I think that's all of my news. I will check in from Toyland.

Ask BK:

So, you mentioned not liking the tacked-on narration in "Body Snatchers." Do you think that there ought to be some way to see the movie without the narration? Or should that be up to the director? And what should happen, if the director has died or otherwise can't make the decision?

You and me both!

It's time to get ready to leave. I've been sending emails and attachments to Dublin.  Hopefully, our actor Karl Harpur, who is wonderful as the two villains on EILEEN, will be able to record a couple of spoken parts in Dublin as well. He's in a flurry of activity since he's relocating to Los Angeles, where his cousin Colin Egglesfield is doing well with tv work.

Exactly so. He comes to thank Mrs Murray and Betsy for helping the American troops in 1776 and to deliver Betsy a thank you gift: the British prisoner of war she loves. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.

 You gotta make the morning last
 Just kickin' down the cobblestones
 Lookin' for fun and
 Feelin' groovy!
 
 Hello lamp post,
 Whatcha knowin?
 I've come to watch your flowers growin'...
 Ain'tcha got no rhymes for me?
 Doo Bee Doo Doo,
 Feelin' groovy!
 
 Got no deeds to do,
 No promises to keep!
 I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep!
 Let the morningtime drop all its petals on me...
 Life, I love you,
 All is groovy!

Alas, I have decided that my Allison Hayes photo collection is complete enough for now, so no bidding by the likes of me (or course some of them are out of my price range anyhow.)

Besides being dreamy, he was also very talented. His role in ANAND always makes me cry. And this number from ARADHANA is one of the most erotic I have ever witnessed...even though both stars are fully clothed.

It is killer hot outside. The computer says it's 98 but it feels much hotter. I went to the greenmarket for some apples, went home, had some lunch and came right back to the office. The apartment is not HOT but we turn the AC off during the day and keep the curtains closed and a fan runs to circulate the remaining cool air from the AC, but it's just too hot to sit for an hour. When I go home for the night I'll turn the AC on about 6 or 7pm. Anthony doesn't seem to mind it, but it's killing me.

I can't wait until tomorrow and Friday when it's supposed to be in the mid-80s and  then the high 70s!!!

Yes....I have just been saving them to my hard drive.  Most are those Chicago Tribune pictures that are priced at more than $30 each.....so they are beyond my budget as well.

Yeah, well, thanks to a certain Errant & Truant HHW'er and the former Official Tweeter of The Public Theater, I've had *this* stuck in my head all morning:

Ever since I was a young boy,
I've played the silver ball.
From SoHo down to Brighton,
I must have played them all.
But I ain't seen nothin' like him
In any amusement hall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.

He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine.
Feelin' all the bumpers,
Always playin' clean.
He plays by intuition.
The digit counters fall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.

He's a pinball wizard,
There has to be a twist.
A pinball wizard,
Got such a supple wrist...

In this case, it's well known the director was unhappy with the changes - but there's no way to do it - no one knows where the original elements are.

Last week DR Elmore mentioned the Tony Walton book publised bu USITT.  Well, I ordered it immediately and it arrived yesterday.  At $25.00, I had sort of expected it to be a hardcover--instead it is a very nicely bound softcover.  But it is jam-packed with photos and it looks like it covers his career in detail.  So in the end, I'm not disappointed at all.

That reminds me, I finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and it was also an excellent read. I've been overdosing on biography lately (I'm about to start Leslie Caron's autobiography) but this was great. It's a quick read but I didn't want it to end. It has little twists and turns and goes from humor to pathos on the turn of a dime. If you haven't read it, I recommend it.

Apparently the movie is having casting troubles and has not begun filming yet, according to Wikipedia.

Back from Dayton, where I did a couple of errands and attended this month's meeting of the Miami Valley Association of Volunteer Administrators.  The program wasn't particularly relevant to me, but it was done with a web-based presentation software called Prezi that's very cool.  I'm looking forward to playing with it.  On the way home I had a quick lunch at Chipotle and did a little grocery shopping.  Just as I pulled up our driveway, the heavens opened and we've had some much-needed rain.

That reminds me, I wanted to ask if Ted Chapin's "Everything Was Possible" is all one would presumably expect it to be.  I picked up a beautiful hardcover copy a few years ago and literally just "discovered" it -- this very morning -- on my shelf.  Is this serendipity, or what?  Or just Dippity Do?  In a decent world, BK's CD and this book would be the perfect way to start my Education.

I think it's a wonderful book. It's written with no agenda and his take on Follies and how it happened is great. It's well worth the read.

I can't believe that I hadn't gotten this...until now.  I just ordered it.

You've never read Ted's fantastic book? Turn in your union card.


I would've thought you'd make me turn in my gay card.

Since Ted's not gay, I don't think a book about FOLLIES has anything to do with your sexuality. I've been known to be wrong.

Not a drop here.

And no power outage except those momentary ones. 

So I drove the cable box the three miles or so down to Comcast to exchange it, and guess what -- closed, due to no power.  That part of town looked like it had gotten hit with winds that took out a few trees and some power lines.  Not a widespread area.  Just the area I needed.  Consoled myself with a hamburger and iced coffee and came back home.

That reminds me, I finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and it was also an excellent read. I've been overdosing on biography lately (I'm about to start Leslie Caron's autobiography) but this was great. It's a quick read but I didn't want it to end. It has little twists and turns and goes from humor to pathos on the turn of a dime. If you haven't read it, I recommend it.

Apparently the movie is having casting troubles and has not begun filming yet, according to Wikipedia.

I'm very glad you enjoyed it.  It is a bit of history I never knew about.

Thanks for the update on the movie.

When I went out to the corner market during the rain, the apartment hallway was like a sauna. I loved being n the rain.

I've just taken a cold bath, and I will chill out and watch tv.  I've got a new British sitcom, MONDAY MONDAY. which also features some of the stars of MIRANDA, to watch.

Hi all.  I walked in to find Toby and Sheena have had another knock down drag out.  A bad one.  Sheena is limping and Toby has a hurt ear.  Nothing bad enough to need stitches but there was a lot of blood. 

Sigh.  I don't know what I'm going to do with those two.  They lay together and lick one another most the time and then BAM! this happens. 

I gave both doggie aspirin and washed their wounds.  Both got a sound scolding but not to bad because they were already hurt enough but I did tell them they should be ashamed of themselves.

Now Sheena is in my room laying on one of the doggie bed and Toby is here with me in the living room on the rug.

There was a bad rain storm today while I was at work.  I think they may have been afraid and it just started them up.

sigh.

No because I can't handle them anymore.  Sheena pulled me down several times when I was at the hotel.  They have their doggie door and they can go run in the back yard any time they please.

I understand this.  It is why I'm afraid to get any more pets.

Do they play fetch in the yard if you throw the ball?
