It is my understanding that it is the publisher's who have decided not to sell certain eBooks to the libraries.
Midler is out of her element in the heavy-lifting scenes of Gypsy, and she later admitted that she didn't get it. Vocally, she's not bad.
I'm not fond of Russell. I never get the feeling that she could have ever been anywhere near as good as Natalie Wood. Arthur Laurents once said, in his inimitable way, that Russell's "Rose's Turn" was all about the shoes, a pair of black-and-white things that shine so brightly they upstage the performer.
I heard the production was terrible, but Bernadette Peters' version of "Rose's Turn" on the Tonys was a knockout.
I had shredded wheat for breakfast, which I haven't had in years. At one time it was my favourite breakfast cereal.

If BP had done in the theatre every night what she did on the stage at the Tony Awards it would have been a different show. I saw her Gypsy and I saw the Tony Award performance and they were two completely different animals. She didn't do well in the show. I remember Laurents going on and on about how Rose was a small woman and Peters fit her physically so well. Bullshit. Just because you're right for a part physically doesn't mean you'll do a good job. She was a knockout on the Tonys but she was a mess on stage during the show. It's all supposition on my part, but that's probably one of the reasons why Laurents finally agreed to let PL do Gypsy, because he was not happy with the BP production.
BK,
I don't know if it's an advantage or a disadvantage, but I've never seen DEATHTRAP on stage...although I may have read it. Don't really recall.
Nevertheless, I've seen the movie 2-3 times and I do like it.
:o
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Healthy Vibes for BK! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although, as a child, I may or may not have been stolen by Gypsies.
LOL!Although, as a child, I may or may not have been stolen by Gypsies.
...or abandoned "by" gypsies? ;)
And the word of the day is: WASSAIL!
Must have been in the CD liner notes.....

Oh, I hadn't thought of that!
Congratulations, George, on your preferred candidate getting the job at the library.
Congrats to DR GEORGE on the right person getting the job!
And you know you'll get it.
I watched THE ARROW last night....and I think I saw John Barrowman on there playing something - but the scene went by pretty fast.
Since BK first mentioned Arleta, I've waited for my brain to kick in and recall where that is. It never came to me, so I've looked it up and am ready to sit back and enjoy the travelogue.
What the world really needs for these occasions are tiny cams mounted inside and outside the BK-mobile, and a running commentary.
They needed you in WW2: no one could have cracked this code.
AND I got word that our library board has offered the library director position to our internal candidate and just about everyone that I'd talked to really wanted her to get the job...including me! Tomorrow will be a good day at work!
Oh, joy (kinda sorta!):
My Blu ray Hitchock Box arrived today. It was shipped from the UK on Nov. 10. 19 days it took to get here. I got the Universal Monster Box from the UK in less than 8 days.
Oh, well!
Yes, this is true. The publishers decide who they sell to and for how much. It's ridiculous that certain publishers will also sell the downloadable audiobooks to libraries for $50, $80, or even $100...for a frakin' download!
Good morning, all! I thnk this neti pot is a good thng. I was asleep before midnight, and at 7:15 when the alarm rang, I didn't feel drugged out of my mind.

Does your library have the other Lisa Garnder ebooks? If so then it makes little sense since Catch Me is part of a series. But i guess if they have the book in hardcover ...
Maybe you could get one of those book holders (you place the book in it and it holds the book for you!). I've seen pictures of people reading books in the bath with a bath book holder. I'd be too afraid that the book would fall in.

Barrowman is a recurring character...he's the MAJOR bad guy in the city.
For BK, and anyone seeking an alternative means of prevention:

I had coffee with an interesting person today. In a way, it made me a stronger, more confident person. It also made me question things in my life a little differently. We'll see what the new year brings but I know things need to change.
Be well vibes!!!
In the promos for THE IRON PETTICOAT there is a shot of Ms Hepburn crying which makes her look.....well....scary....
In other news, I sold my old TV stand on Craigslist and someone name of Jessica will be picking it up at 5:30 pm.
That is $25 bucks in my pocket. Kcccching!!
Now if I can sell $475 worth of stuff more, than I will be able to pay the auto mechanic for fixing my car last week.
From DR George:QuoteAND I got word that our library board has offered the library director position to our internal candidate and just about everyone that I'd talked to really wanted her to get the job...including me! Tomorrow will be a good day at work!
That's great so many people are happy about this.

How much do they sell the eBooks for? Does the price go down with multiple purchases?

The prices can vary, but fortunately, the e-books aren't as expensive as that specific publisher's downloadable talking books.
Do the employees of "The Office" ever do any work?
I have spent several hours scanning photos and cropping them and such as in order to make a nice bulletin for Ruby's service.
Do the employees of "The Office" ever do any work?
Did the people on "Grey's Anatomy" ever do any actual medical work besides sit around and talk?
I have never seen any character on the soaps actually work; all they do is sit about andtalk about themselves for the benefit of viewers who haven't tunedinfor over a year.
Thursday morning greetings! We are expecting DS Rob sometime today to pick up a package he had delivered here. This evening we'll be at the University of Dayton, where I'm on a panel reviewing student presentations in my friend Andrea's grantwriting class.
It's been a long time since I saw DEATHTRAP on stage or in the movies, but I remember being furious that the movie gives away the surprise ending right up front. Am I thinking of the right play/movie?

Hmmm, would that be a Christmas present for Mary Linda?

That sounds more like SLEUTH.

Ahhh.....well since it was my first time watching, and I missed the opening credits....that explains that. One more reason to watch.
How's that for cryptic LOL
I'm back and to prove it, I'm here.
The drive: Long. The iPhone GPS thing I have kept trying to have me turn on streets I didn't care to, but I held my ground and took Van Nuys Blvd. all the way up, which was fascinating in its awfulness. First off, as I passed Roscoe I could not believe how different everything was - that was mere moments from the apartment I lived in from 1971 to 1975. As I drove north from there it continued to be so weird - I knew the area like the back of my hand - in 1971 it wasn't a great area, but it was still very middle class caucasian there. The mall by Parthenia is not even a shadow of its former self - May Co. gone, all the other stores gone. It's now some kind of huge ninety-nine cent store. The whole area there looks sleazy, and the buildings are filled with graffiti and not American graffiti. Then I passed the Panorama movie theater - we went there several times back in the day - nice single-screen theater. Not any more. A church now - what else is new? From there it just got worse and worse. Then I saw why the GPS tried to get me to ultimately take Woodman all the way - because Van Nuys curves around and suddenly the two streets cross each other - both are north/south streets but at a certain point Van Nuys becomes east/west - very weird. I found the DMV and parked, waiting in line five minutes to get my appointment number - I am here to tell you I was the only white boy in the jernt. My 1:40 appointment happened at 1:45, got a nice gal, explained the situation, took the vision test, passed with flying colors, and she entered that into the computer, got off that screen, then double-checked by going back and told me it's now showing as "in progress" to be done. I will, of course, triple check by calling later today. I was out in five minutes. I took Woodman all the way to Moorpark, then ended up at Jerry's Deli for a Cobb salad and a bagel. Home now until rehearsals start.
Part of me wants to go out for Indian food tonight...and another part of me wants to crawl into bed as soon as I get home.

You know what I would LOVE? For BK to make a cabaret show for Donny. Just Donny. Thank you.
Of course, if I had been in a film with Christopher Reeve, I would have insisted on a kissing scene.
STOP COUGHING & FEEL BETTER VIBES FOR DR VIXMOM & VIXDAD!!!A double dose.

Really? I guess I have no idea who John Barrowman may be.
