Yesterday, I went to see a local production of a show called "The Somewhat True Tales of Robin Hood" by Mary Lynn Dobson, put on by Olympia Family Theater (http://olyft.org/the-somewhat-true-tale-of-robin-hood/).  They produced the original musical version of "The Wind in the Willows," that I was involved in last year.  This was a delightfully silly and funny show.  It was a small audience, but they loved it.  Here's the synopsis from OFT's website:

Quote
It sure is hard to be humble when you’re a swashbuckling, egocentric super-hero. But our gallant guy-in-green tries his best as he swaggers through The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood, a frantically funny, Monty Pythonesque retelling of the classic. This time around, the legendary legend, in his never-ending quest to aid the needy, encounters a lovely damsel-in-distress (oddly obsessed with skin conditions); an ever-scheming sheriff who would rather bowl a strike than hit a bull’s-eye; a gold-hoarding, bad-guy monarch wannabe; and a good-natured “Town’s Guy” who manages to make his way into every scene, whether he belongs there or not. Combine them with an expandable band of spoon-wielding Merry Men whose collective IQs equal six, and you’ve got an irreverent jaunt through Sherwood Forest you won’t soon forget!

After the show, I went to my parent's house for Easter dining (it' wasn't early enough for "dinner" and it was too late for lunch), and we also played Phase 10.  I won!!  It was the first time in quite a while that I did.

I eventually came home, watched some Doctor Who specials and am now going to bed. 8)

Good morning, all! I had a terrible night of sleep. I turned off the lights at 10pm, slept well until around 1:30am when I had a huge ROBERTA anxiety attack. I got up around 2 and caught up on HHW posts before I sent back to bed around 2:30. I slept poorly the rest of the night.

So, I am ready to head to Toyland. I'll continue to proof the first edit and I'm meeting one of the singers I approached last week about the leading role for coffee at 2:30. I am hoping, too, that today we get a final answer from the producer's choice for the role.

TOD: Favorite Thai food was a place in Florida where I used to live. It was called Thai Cafe and I was taken with the food that I ate there five times one week. I became friends with the owners, Sam and Nancy, and both were exceptional cooks, but both had different styles. So, I learned a lot about Thai cooking from eating their food.

Favorites included meats cooked with basil leaves, Masaman (spellings vary, cold also be musaman) with carrots and potatoes plus meat in a coconut curry, a series of volcano dishes that were as hot as the name implies, and anything with plenty of vegetables.

Nancy's trademark dessert was what she called Thai donuts, pillows of rice flour dough fried to a sizzling hot. When served, they might still be too hot to touch. But never greasy. They came with a vanilla-lemon glaze with peanuts that you dipped them in. Sheer perfection.

I agree. It's always good for family members to have keys. Either for medical reasons. Or in case someone locks themselves out. Or in this case if you need to get in instead of waiting.

It sounds more appealing than "The Heart of Robin Hood"  which will play at our Shakespeare Festival.  The blurb says it is funny.

open question

What was the greatest April Fool's Day joke you ever played on someone or had played on you?

Years ago, I used to have a radio show on the community radio station at The Evergreen State College (the station was not limited to students' use).  I used to play musical cast recordings and theater-related recordings (pretty much anything that BK produced :D) and one year, April Fool's day fell on a Saturday, the day of my show.  For the joke that day, I played nothing but songs by The Manhattan Transfer!  Since my show was at 7:00 in the morning, I don't know if anyone was even listening, ::) but it certainly was fun for me.
Title: Re: APRIL LOVE
Post by: George on April 01, 2013, 05:37:43 PM
Well, I must be off.  I have to be at the theater at 6:00 for a paper-tech and then we'll run both the men's and women's versions of "Reservoir Dogs."  And tonight, the board is providing food for the casts.  I'm bringing a casserole that my mom made (she gave me permission to bring it) and some cookies from my sister.

Until later!

Speaking of the Apple Store, I went to the one in Buffalo Saturday and looked at I-phones and I-pads.  Still deciding on both.  A friend told me he really likes his kindle fire HD and it's a lot cheaper than the I-pad.

I just sent the helper to the Apple Store because the thing was out of control and opening and closing and moving things around and that's a little too scary for me.  She'll bring back the new trackpad and we'll get it set up and hopefully that will take care of the problem.  I'm sure that something inside the trackpad was shorting out or something.  Thankfully I had my old mouse here so I an at least use that until she brings back the trackpad.

So, the question has finally been addressed, what to do with the house the roommate and I own together.  We both seem to want to keep it.  So, according to his brilliant logic <sarcastic> - if we both want to keep it, we should just sell.  I'm on the fence about letting him re-fi in his own name, take whatever cash he can give me at this point, and run across the bay and get an apartment and start all over with the DD.  I'm in a quandary and I'm not quite jiggy with that.  Even if I could re-fi into my name only and afford to pay the mortgage/expenses and still have a life, the roommate's logic tells me that I can't. 

And these are the days of our lives

That is a difficult decision.  I wish you the best.   Can you even sell if for a reasonable price these days?  If he buys you out it seems it should be for the entire amount he owes you.   I'm sorry you can't buy him out.

Yes. A weird story of a Bob Dylan-type songwriter who did a couple of albums and disappeared. Meanwhile, in South Africa, he became bigger than Elvis. And he never knew he was popular there, never got any royalties from his music, never made it big. In fact, the legend had it that he was dead. But someone tracked him down and got him to South Africa where he was rather dumbfounded by his huge success.

don't have a favorite Thai restaurant, but I think Pad Thai may one of my favorite dishes if it is the one with the wide noodles. I also like the lemon chicken. I have pretty much enjoyed all of the thai food that I have tried so far. Oh, there was one with octopus that was quite good.

Favorite animated movie would be a toss up between BAMBI and FINDING NEMO.

I had to delete a dear friend on Facebook this weekend. She was someone I worked with for 10 years at my job and she recently took a payroll position for a school district in another town.

She and I were partners in crime for those 10 years and had a lot of fun together, even though she is many years younger than I.

Now that she moved to this other town she and her husband started at a new church. She was already very religious, but with a liberal outlook. Her best buddy in high school was gay and of course she and I were very close...but since she started at this new church she has become extreme in posting religious stuff like wanting the bible to be taught in public schools, etc, and over the last couple of weeks has been posting anti-gay rights things on her Facebook page. It hurt too much to see these posts from someone I cared for and so I took the decision to delete her. I see enough of this crap on the news, I just don't need to see it on my Facebook news feeds.
