Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Kritzerland's thirty-first show, and now it is time for you to post until the thirty-one cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PANOPTIC!
-
Congrats to BK and Cast on the latest Kritzerland show!
It might not have been perfect, but it sounds like it was still pretty darned good.
-
A Very Happy Birthday to Adriana Patti!! ;D
-
Yesterday, I stayed home most of the day and watched TV...a couple of episodes of "Antiques Roadshow" and quite a bit on the Creative Arts Showcase channel. I recorded what amounts to about a couple of hours of random stuff and will put that on a DVD. :)
-
In the afternoon, I got a call from my friend Margo, asking if I wanted to meet with her, her daughter and a mutual friend for dinner. I said, "Sure!" We went to a new Mexican restaurant, and the food was good. The service was good, too...not "great," but good. The space was a little weird. It was just one big open room that held about a dozen or so tables and a big open area at the entrance. Just an unusual space.
-
After that, Margo and I went to see "Argo." We both loved it. I came home and just ordered the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack! I know that my dad will love it (he's a history buff and I'm sure that he remembers the publicly known incidents). He doesn't go to movies in the theater anymore, so I'm going to give him the DVD and I'll keep the Blu-ray.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
I'll be off to the airport in about 12 hours to meet my nephew from Minnesota who will be here for a visit.
-
Have a great visit with your nephew, Ben!
-
I should've been in bed HOURS ago! What was I thinking??
;)
-
But before I go, this was Yesterday's Topic of the Day (Opening Numbers):
Opening numbers from shows that I've either seen or been in:
The Brain from Planet X (I was in the Olympia premiere production! ;))
Cabaret
Carnival (I played Jacquot in a local production)
Cats
Chicago
A Chorus Line
Company
The Fantasticks
Fiddler on the Roof
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (I played Hero)
Into The Woods
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor® Dreamcoat
The Music Man
Once on This Island
Pippin
The Rocky Horror Show
Sweeney Todd
Thoroughly Modern Millie
Opening numbers that I only know from recordings:
Ragtime
Brownstone
Putting It Together ("Invocation and Instructions to the Audience"/"Putting It Together") [the Julie Andrews version]
Saturday Night
That's all I can think of right now.
-
And now I'm going to bed.
Goodnight Ben, and anyone else. 8)
-
Good morning, all.
Congrats on the show working out despite the vibes in the house, BK.
-
J.B. has decided he does not like my iPhone. Unlike the remote control, it has no buttons to chew on. Therefore, it is worthless.
-
Pain-free vibes for TCB.
-
Good morning, all!
Last night, I watched the first disc of the wonderful BBC production of HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY. It's been quite some time since I'd seen the MGM film that I hd no problem seeing the thin Sian Philips instead of the more rotund Sarah Allgood as Beth Morgan. The only actor besids Miss Philips that I recognized was Jeremy Clyde (of the group Chad and Jeremy) as the odious Iestyn Evans, who marries Angharrad - instead of the minister she loves - and treats her horribly. Since the series is six hours long, it's much more faithful to the novel, and I'm really enjoying it.
So I went to bed around midnight to be awakened by the very noisy arrival home of the neighbor above me around 2:00am. It sounded from all the bumping, thumping and heated discussionbits I could hear that both the Sharks and Jets were set to rumble above me, and this continued for about 30 minutes before I difyed back to sleep. I remember that Eartha Kitt appeared in on of my dreams and the Clancy Brothers in the last ne.
In 15 minutes or so, I'll have the laundry in the washers, and then I'll begin to tidy up here. I've got several hours with the libretto for ROBERTA and then I'll watch the second disc of the BBC series.

I apologize if I'm being picky, but:
Just to keep the record straight: HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY was produced by 20th Century-Fox, not MGM.
-
Good morning, all.
Got a solid, restful sleep, exactly what was needed after the restless one the night before.
-
DR Elmore, you might have actually heard the Sharks and Jets among the other cacophony, as TCM was playing West Side Story late last night.
-
Oy! That was quite the report on the Kritzerland show. Sorry to hear about the strange energy and vibes, and the flubs. I guess a lot of us know what an "off" evening feels like, how the odds are that it's bound to happen once in a while. So, while on the one hand, it seems that most of the Kritzerland shows come off as close to perfection as could ever be hoped, it can also be that fate or the universe or something is bound to eventually let you down on one. You just don't want it to be THAT one -- which of course we would say about any of them -- but the Billy Barnes one had to be just a little more special than some of the others...which are also special. So, I say again, Oy!
-
Good morning!
-

Hmmmm? The neighbor above me is weird: hecomes in pn week nights around 9:00-10:30pm, rises about 8:00amwith a huge flurry o noise to get wherever on yime and I never hear other sounds from the apartment, particularly of a tv or music . Ever! Perhaps they had been watching WSS before arriving?
I miss my first neighbor Eric andhis sister Lisa. They were great neighbors. then came the Canadian oaf with the barking dog, then the bartender who generally got home so late that I never heard him, and now this couple: he's single but his girlfriend stays over a lot.
-
And it's time to put the laundry into the dryers.
-
Laundry day here, too. But mostly I am just delighted to have the day completely free and all to myself, and I plan on spending most of it in the Music and Movie Room.
-
Good morning all.
I'm watching them tear down the sink hole house on tv while at the same time listening to the helicopters live out side. It is heart breaking.
I had another heart breaking situation to deal with this morning as well--when I went into the front yard I noticed buzzards around "something" in the road. I chased them and it was a yellow cat. Not to put to fine a point on it, it was awful to look at. I have no idea whose cat it was but I couldn't leave it like that so I ran and got a shovel and buried it in the back yard. Poor thing. I didn't hear anything but when I'm sleeping, nothing wakes me up. That was always a joke but with this sink hole, it's not so funny.
No snow. They said there was snow way up about 1500 feet but it didn't make it down to ground level.
-
Sad cat story DR DANISE....but you gave him a proper send off.
-
Interesting to read about the KRITZERLAND show last night....hmmmmm.....must be the Saturday vibe at the Federal....and of course we are in Mercury retrograde, so weird things are bound to happen until March 17.
Glad to hear the Jackie Joseph Lawrence was there. Hope someone took photos! Jackie lives in Toluca Lake, so she may be at SHIRLEY VALENTINE today....who knows?
Maybe if you do another Ashman/Menken show, Jackie can sing "Somewhere That's Green."
-
DR LAURA - Donny Osmond's version of Joseph/Dreamcoat is on DVD.
-
MR BK did you get to talk to Jackie?
The thought of Jackie Joseph and Joanne Worley in the same room makes me smile....no...it makes me laugh.
Did Joanne spin her beads around her neck?

The laundry is finished, and I'm having some ham and eggs. After that, I think I'll mop the kitchen and bathroom and settle in with the ROBERTA libretto.
I've heard a rumor that the first edit of DEAREST ENEMY will be finished this week. I hope!

BK - What a wonderful turnout you had for the show!
Sounds like a great time, and so many favorites onstage and in the audience.
-

Too many?
(Kidding.)

I remember Will Mackenzie from several TV appearances (his, not mine) in the 60's.

Bite your tongue! Or in this case, chew your fingers.

I'm up, I'm up - had a good night's sleep.
-
I want to be clear - last night was a really good show - many wonderful compliments from the crowd and people seemed to have a really good time. For Adryan, my co-producer, and I there was just this slight weird energy and we both felt it - but that's just us - the applause was huge and loud and long as in most of our shows, many, many big roaring laughs - so maybe I came off in the notes as being negative about it, but that's not the case at all. We've had much worse lyric flubs in other shows - just not quite as many and quite so early - but even when I say many it was maybe five or six. The cast did a great job.
-
And yes, JoAnne swung her beads and said "BOARRRRRRRRR-ing!.
-
When I see the name Jackie Joseph Lawrence it reminds me of that stupid, well funny / stupid, TV show THE NEIGHBORS in which the female alien character is named Jackie Joyner Kersee.

Was Jo Anne Worley the only guest star in last night's show?
-
Read the notes :) Nancy Dussault was with us, too. In fact, everyone should reread the first part of the notes about the show - I read them and could see why it was coming off more negatively than it should - I was really tired when I wrote them. So, I just revised them a little - same point said more positively and better.
-

Always funny!

Here's one of our Facebook comments - sums it up pretty well: The show was special in all ways...even the flubs were charming and part of the utterly wordy patter that makes real life performance worthy. Thanks for your constant attention to the wonderful world of honoring those who have made a difference in our musical world.

That sounds much better. I was pretty sure that Nancy Dussault was supposed to be in the show, but I thought maybe I just dreamed that. Actually, if I have started having dreams about Nancy Dussault appearing in one of BK's show; I probably need a different type of therapy than I have been getting.
-
Since I have gotten up this morning I have been laboring under the impression that it's Monday - that's what happens when you do a Sunday show on a Saturday. I am completely discombobulated.

A French, seven-hour miniseries of "The Count of Monte Cristo" has just come in at the library. I guess I'll be busy for a while. Gerard Depardieu is in it. Don't know if he plays Edmund Dantes. But I'm hoping it's fairly faithful to the novel.

If it is fairly recent, Depardieu would be playing the castle.

I just went back and rewrote my post as well. Thanks for the added info!
Nancy Dussault did a show of Skip's at Seattle Rep with John Cullum several years ago.

Sunday afternoon greetings! Fr. Richard and I are back from an uneventful trip to Lima and now I can tell you why I've been so quiet the past couple of days:
Yesterday our dear niece/goddaughter Lauren became engaged to a wonderful young man named Jimmy!
Her mom had called me on Friday to tell me he was planning to propose on Saturday and then they were going to dinner at Lebanon's Golden Lamb, where they went on their first date. Jimmy wanted it to be a family thing, so his mom arranged for one of the private dining rooms and there were 9 of us there to greet them. Mary Linda went with us, but Paramedic Rob was only halfway through his 24-hour workday. It was a fun, festive evening.

I've seen it. I watched it around 5 years ago. Depardieu is Dantes. His son plays the young Dantes, as I recall. It's quite good, but it does cut the lesbians and there are a few other changes. I love the Robin Buss uncut translation, and I'm going to read it again after ANNA KARENINA.

A dreary depressing day in South Florida.

But yesterday was great. On the spur of the moment a friend ask if I wanted to go up to Orlando for the day. I said yes if he would drive and he did.

Disney has started to produced there "snow globe" sculptures again. After 9/11 they discontinued them because people couldn't take them on the planes with them as there was too much liquid in the globes. I heard that the regulation has been relaxed and I found a beautiful one by fluke. I went to the cashier and I saw a table of them. I saw a box that did not have a display copy. It was the last one so I took it up to the cash and had them open it. I immediately saw how wonderful it was and took. So did another customer who also wanted one. So they had to call around to locate another one.
I told I would buy it and then sell it to the woman for double the price! :-)

LOL. It's from the late 1990s, and he's Dantes. It's fun. I watched the first of the four episodes.

No lesbians? Well, I might as well stop watching then. ;)
They were in the version I read, which I guess is Robin Buss'.

Do you have a photo? I love snow globes. Does it have the real snow look or the lighter flaky look?
-
I found watching THE MASTER painful, boring & cheered when it was over. It wasn't because I found the star's acting lacking, more because he did such a good job of creating an unlikable, annoying, unsympathetic character. I do not like to watch or read a story when I don't have some compassion or interest in the people.
Keith found it an interesting character study.
-
I am ambiguous.
-
I think TAR will be on time tonight. I am afraid to check CBS to see how the college basketball game is coming along.....
-
Is THE MASTER the movie that is supposed to be about Ron Hubbard and Scientology?
Or is that something else?
-
Thank you to DRs Jane and John G! I'm taking Lauren to lunch tomorrow, so maybe I'll get to hear about what ELSE is going on in her life...
-
Congratulations, DR Ginny!
-
Thanks, DR ChasSmith!
-
I think I've now edited all of the recording dialogue. I hope so.
-

Or is that something else?
Yes, it is loosely based it on both but the main character in the movie is the mentally unbalanced man portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix.

Good afternoon. It's been a fairly busy day. Had breakfast and went to the office for awhile. I did some errands then stopped by the rubble of a building being torn down. Paul did a mural that was the entire side of the building, so I stopped and got a few little pieces of it and took to him. Since all the recognizable pieces were way too big, he thought I was being silly, but he did thank me.

We're supposed to get rain or snow. It's 40 degrees now, so it would be rain, but this is the sort of rain/snow that worries me. Too good a chance to get ice
-
DR Danise, sad cat story. Thanks for doing the right thing
-
Also scary to hear the helicopters while being able to see what's happening on tv
-
I've posted a couple new posts on Anderson Live to keep it on the list. I'm hoping you'll hear something soon. maybe no one is monitoring it over the weekend
-
One of my guilty pleasures, Celebrity Apprentice starts a new season of all stars tonight. That show cracks me up...
-
Haven't watched TAR at all this season. I think I'm going to skip it this time around
-
I'm going through Downton withdrawal
-
Waiting to see what the weather is going to bring
-
The girls loved Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I had to explain why all the girls said "Mine!" at the end.
-
Thank you Dr Cillaliz for all of your help. I think there were some pretty powerful posts there and some by people I don't even know! I have a feeling I will be getting a phone call or two tomorrow.
I don't think I mentioned that I also send an email to the photographer who was interested in following my story from the local news. He was the one who supplied the footage for the AC show.

DR Danise, sad cat story. Thanks for doing the right thing
No need for thanks, anyone else would have done the same. Poor thing. I'm not the biggest cat fan, being a dog person myself but I would never hurt one and am in fact feeding a couple of possible strays--they sure are hungry if they belong to someone--because I've felt sorry for them. I just feel bad because I don't know if they have anywhere to go in this cold.

One of mine too but I may have to catch it on demand. Once Upon A Time and The Walking Dead are on tonight.

Whew - Michigan just beat Michigan State in basketball by 1 point!

Not much better here in Central Florida. It's getting colder as the day goes by and I think I saw the sun for about a half hour this afternoon.

Congrats! What fun! Was she surprised?
-
She kind of expected the proposal, but was surprised that the dinner was a party and not just a date.
-
The weather in Manhattan was really lovely today. I hope it's nice tomorrow. If it is, I may walk to the SUPERMAN rehearsal at 54th and 11th Avenue.
-
I'm going through Downton withdrawal
I see that Julian Ovenden, who was wonderful when I saw him in DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY, is joining the cast. We tried to get him for one of two roles in DEAREST ENEMY last year. He would have been good, but I'm happy with the ones we cast.
-
Sad cat story DR DANISE....but you gave him a proper send off.
Yes & yes. I hope you see find a lost cat sign to let the people know.
One of the reasons I buried it so quickly was because there is a house with kids in it just a house down. I didn't want them to see it but I would call if I saw such a sign. I don't think the cat belongs to them. I hope whoever did it is ashamed of themselves.
-

I was just going to say this. It was nice what you did. But i hate to think of people being worried sick about this cat. Hopefully you can find out who he/she belonged to.

I'll be watching Celebrity Apprentice. It's allstars. And there are actually some really good former celebs (not the usual crappy allstars).
I need to check if CBS is on time because i have to record The Good Wife and The Mentalist on the US chennel (on the Canadian channels they are both on at 10pm).
-
DR Danise if you can, find out if there is a group who help feral cats. If you ask they might go out and make sure those cats you are feeding can't make babies. They should also trap, spay, and release them if needed.

I was going to ask Thelma the next time I talk to her about it because they have feral cats around where she lives.

It was. You could tell it had been hit by a car.

DR GINNY that sounds like so much fun! Congratulations to all!
Thanks for the information DR JANE - still not sure I am interested in seeing THE MASTER....but maybe.....

Thanks, DR JRand!
As I predicted, she asked Uncle Richard to walk her down the aisle.

That doesn't make it intentional. I hit a cat once that ran right in front of my car. Not stopping, unless they didn't notice, is another story.

I have a friend who discovered someone was "following" her on Facebook. He shouldn't have been able to since they weren't friends. I suggest, if you use FB, to turn off your "follow" option which she has now done.

Interesting & sad article on todays activities at the house near DR Danise.

Even though I saw it coming, it still made me cry...

So, in the second episode of "The Count of Monte Cristo," the count is impressing a young woman and has a servant bring in an enormous bowl of caviar. Needless to say, I got really hungry seeing that. Unfortunately, the caviar was in a silver bowl and served with a silver spoon. Obviously the maker of this doesn't know that you need glass and/or mother-of-pearl because metal affects the flavor negatively. The count might not have known that, but his kitchen staff should have. Sad.

I wish I could remember if this scene is in the book.

What is a follow option and how do you know if it is off? And how did she discover it?

I am pretty sure that nobody would try to hit a cat. So it was not intentional. But what would you even do if you did? guess call the city. Unless they lived on your street they could not really take it anywhere.

The scene where the Count is trying to impress her is. I don't remember caviar being mentioned.

I guess it depends where you are. I was on a busy street with little children in the car so I moved it to the side of the road. I then called every vet in the area reporting the cat, with a description, and asking if they knew who it might belong to. I then put an ad in the paper. I never received a response. Today I would have called the township shelter to see if they would collect the pet & check for a mircrochip.

Sunday afternoon greetings! Fr. Richard and I are back from an uneventful trip to Lima and now I can tell you why I've been so quiet the past couple of days:
Yesterday our dear niece/goddaughter Lauren became engaged to a wonderful young man named Jimmy!
Her mom had called me on Friday to tell me he was planning to propose on Saturday and then they were going to dinner at Lebanon's Golden Lamb, where they went on their first date. Jimmy wanted it to be a family thing, so his mom arranged for one of the private dining rooms and there were 9 of us there to greet them. Mary Linda went with us, but Paramedic Rob was only halfway through his 24-hour workday. It was a fun, festive evening.
Congrats to Lauren and Jimmy!
-
Thanks, DR George!

'night!

DR LAURA - Donny Osmond's version of Joseph/Dreamcoat is on DVD.
of course! a perfect musical for the Goldstein girls! How could I forget this? The Vixter and I just watched it last week.
-
Thank you Dr Cillaliz for all of your help. I think there were some pretty powerful posts there and some by people I don't even know! I have a feeling I will be getting a phone call or two tomorrow.
I don't think I mentioned that I also send an email to the photographer who was interested in following my story from the local news. He was the one who supplied the footage for the AC show.
That's very good news, Danise!
~~~Even More Good Luck House Vibes!!~~~

I've seen this video. I wonder if I own a copy of it?

I think next week we will watch Oklahoma!

Congratulations to Lauren and Jimmy!

busy day
-
at church from 9 am until noon
-
then some errands
-
Now, the Count is seducing this sweet young thing with another food scene, one that involves the slicing of a gigantic black truffle. Given Gerard Depardieu's appetite, I would bet he had these food scenes written into the script.
-
then Vixdad and I went to a Hoedown Dinner - a fundraiser for one of our long time church members. Joe needs a kidney transplant - several church members have tried to donate so far and have all been turned down
-
Joe's daughter is a caterer and she rented the local VFW hall and made a delicious spread
-
the tables all had baskets of peanuts in the shell, Then they came around with cornbread made with bacon pieces and homemade maple butter
-
then they brought around mini corn dogs (made with cocktail franks) and shrimp chowder
-
the buffet dinner was barbequed chicken, pulled pork, corn on the cob, bourbon beans with bacon, salad and coleslaw. they also had
DR JANE AVERT YOUR EYES!!
two whole barbequed pigs - which I could not bring myself to try - yes - I loved all the bacon and pulled pork but I am too much of a hypocrite to eat the meat directly from the animal
-
desert was rice pudding, angel food cake with whipped cream and strawberries, bacon cupcakes with maple icing ( Ihad one of these - it was magnificent) a mango chipolte cupcake with key lime icing, chocolate mint cupcake with mint icing, and peanut butter and jelly cupcake with peanut butter icing
-
I kept thinking, " JohnG would love this!"
-
they had a great band. I danced myself into exhaustion
-
Back from the show. Just had a tuna sandwich. And am watching the first half of Easter Parade right now.
-
Oh, yeah, happy birthday to the former Adriana Patti - she's a Patti no more.
-
I've done absolutely nothing all day today, except watch TV and burn a couple of DVDs. I haven't even taken a shower, yet (good thing I live alone ;)). I haven't had much to eat either and I'm hungry.
Just had to share.
-
Here I am with the star of today's show, which was Shirley Valentine. It's Dee Dee Rescher, who I haven't seen in close to thirty-seven years. She was on the final two Dinah and Her New Best Friends series with me.

I don't know why it came out sideways, but I like it that way.
-
That's a great picture, BK...even if it is sideways.
-
Well, even though it's sort of late, I'm going to take a shower and get me something to eat. I have some coupons that I want to use and will expire soon, so I'm going to go out...hence, the shower.
-
Congratulations
to DR Ginny's
DN / DG!

We're supposed to get rain or snow. It's 40 degrees now, so it would be rain, but this is the sort of rain/snow that worries me. Too good a chance to get ice
We are supposed to get down into the 20's tonight. Just when I thought that Spring was here.

falling asleep - goodnight all

DR Danise, sad cat story. Thanks for doing the right thing
No need for thanks, anyone else would have done the same. Poor thing. I'm not the biggest cat fan, being a dog person myself but I would never hurt one and am in fact feeding a couple of possible strays--they sure are hungry if they belong to someone--because I've felt sorry for them. I just feel bad because I don't know if they have anywhere to go in this cold.
This cold? I thought it was 50 degrees.
-
That's a great sideways picture!

I don't think that was what she meant.

I don't think Jane has anything against bourbon beans.

And you were right!

The final scene of "The Count" has Depardieu ripping off his shirt and running into the water. He gained a lot of weight on the production, because, it wasn't pretty. The series was good, though.
-
Night, all.

If someone wants to make the picture right side up be my guest - I couldn't figure out how to do it on tinypic. It's right side up on my computer and when I posted it to Facebook it was fine.

Hi everyone. Today after my duties at church I spent the day/evening with the DBF. Yes, the Dear BoyFriend. I won't go into details, but it's the same person I was seeing a few years ago when the DP and I were split up. I'm sure the details will be in the memoirs, but it's nice being happy again. It makes other situations easier to deal with at the moment.
And these are the days of our lives!
-
Congrats, Matthew!

And in other news, I just purchased Madam Butterfly in English. I'm sure to be shunned by a few :)
