Well, you've read the notes, the notes knew too much, and now it is time for you to post until the Luddite cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PASQUINADE!
-
BK, the test site looks pretty good. I figured out how to get to the homepage, the "www.haineshisway.com" equivalent. Will the final homepage have the current and previous notes like the test site does right now or will it eventually become more like what the current version is, where we click past the notes (with or without an Unseemly Button) to get into the website-proper?
Does that makes sense?
-
Well, I need to go to bed. In the morning, my sister is having everyone over for brunch. I'm taking the morning off from work but will go in later. I have a meeting at 1:30 that I can't get out of...so I'll go for the meeting and probably stay until I have to leave for rehearsal. We've been having some problems with a couple of the microphones but hopefully that can be fixed tonight. We'll see.
Good night, all.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
It's a work day so I'll be off soon.
-
Good morning, all.
First day back to work.
Continued vibes to all, especially TCB and Jeanne.
-
I agree on "Half a Sixpence," but I was glad to see it. Still wonder why they cut another of my favorites from the score, "The Party's on the House."
-
Good morning to all.
-
All I remember about Half A Sixpence was the first film to play the Seville theater in Montreal after The Sound of Music play the theater for 2 1/2 years.
Half a Sixpence run was cut short after the theater had a fire. The film didn't move to another theater.
-
It should be more than Wednesday.
-
Good morning.
-
Good morning, all.
Enjoyed a decent sleep, one reason being that I'd decided early yesterday afternoon that it was suddenly time to fire up the air conditioner for the first time this season. Attempting to slog through the afternoon and evening with just fans was no longer an option. So I went through my ritual of gently hosing down the outdoor unit very nicely, figuring that the spring pollen, if nothing else, would be making it work harder (and the old girl doesn't need to work any harder than necessary, lemme tell you). Went back inside, set the thermostats, and - Voila! - it played the Hallelujah Chorus.
-
An hour or two later, all was cool, dry bliss -- and it even made the evening's movie watching (a fine black-and-white double feature, HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL and TOO LATE BLUES) comfortable and fun.
So, the house was nice and cool and I turned the A/C off for the night, which worked perfectly. We'll still need it later today, at least, then the temperatures are supposed to go back down for a while.
-
Sadly, I don't think it's going to be a very nice Memorial Day weekend. Those are all too often cool and/or rainy here. But we did have two absolutely great ones in a row, so I guess we're due for that again.
-
Just rambling on here.
-
Wednesday....we are having our read thru tonight, but first I have to take some GREEN SCREEN photos of the little kids in YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN.
I asked for two sentences from each mother about their child....because I said this is a slide show in the lobby with each slide of two kids running for not longer than 15 seconds.....
This is what I have so far:
Amaya is 12 years old and will be a 7th grader at North Clay Middle School. This is Amaya's first time at Putnam County Playhouse and is having a great time meeting everyone in the production. Amaya would like to thank Mr. Brad Sandy for letting her be a part of this production. Amaya has been on stage since the age of 6 and loves every minute of it! She has been in the following productions Pied Piper, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Paulina's Pizza Palace, Music Man, Meet Me In St. Louis, The Rockin Tale of Snow White, The King and I, Annie, and The Aliens are Coming. Amaya won Best Supporting Actress Runner Up for her role as Tootie in Meet Me In St. Louis with Terre Haute Community Theatre. When Amaya is not on stage she is busy with weekly voice lessons and playing soccer year round. Enjoy the show!!
AND:
Be not afeard! Addison Hughes may be full of noises, but he aims to give delight and hurt not. The Greencastle Middle School student has previously appeared in Putnam County Playhouse productions of Cinderella, Footloose, and The Tempest (Youth Workshop), where he channeled his inner beast into a curl-encrusted portrayal of Caliban. In the last year, Addison has appeared on the GHS stage as The World's Tallest Munchkin in The Wizard of Oz, and as Verges in Much Ado About Nothing at DePauw's Festival of Shakespeare. In the spirit of tooting his own horn, Addison also enjoys playing the trumpet in the school band.
Editing is something I do very well:
Amaya attends North Clay Middle School. She loves performing & soccer.
Addison attends Greencastle Middle School. He enjoys being in plays and playing the trumpet.
-
I had never seen TOO LATE BLUES and was pleasantly stunned at how great it is -- everything BK said in the announcement for the CD, and then some.
It's a great starter film for anyone who hasn't seen any Cassavetes. It's far from being hardcore Cassavetes. It's accessible, but nevertheless hard hitting. I'm no expert on Cassevetes but I'm prone to appreciating his stuff, so I just love this one.
-
OMG, DR Jrand62.
Thank the Ye Gods you are good with the scissors.
-
Good morning, all! Another day of vacation, and I slept late. Tomorrow I'm heading down to Toyland, just to stay busy.
I have nothing more to report at the moment. I need coffee and some breakfast.
-
And since we're all talking about it, I've never seen any incarnation of HALF A SIXPENCE.
I got the original cast album as a member of the RCA Record Club (we were a Columbia Record Club family, then I branched out into RCA at some point). Listened to it some and I guess I sort of liked it (how's that for wishy-washy? or is it namby-pamby?), but that's as far as my relationship with it ever went. The film came out as I was starting college and I was awful about getting to the new movie musicals during those years.
From what I'm reading here, I'll leave the film alone for now and look forward to seeing someone do the stage version at some point. And I shall take that album out and give it a spin.
-
In other news, I'm going to see the Taylor-Burton CLEOPATRA on the big screen in a real theater this evening. Or what normally passes for a real theater these days. But the local AMC is renovated and quite decent, and has, whether by accident or design, given absolutely flawlessly presentations of the other one-time showings of THE BIRDS and LAWRENCE OF ARABIA over the past year or so, and I'm hoping for an equally fine experience at this one -- which I hate to admit I've only ever seen on DVD.
-
Love your editing skills, JRand.
-
We watched a very good movie last night, A LATE QUARTET with Christopher Walken and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Highly recommended.

I must see that.
-
BTW, another nice thing about the local AMC is that one of the managers is a close friend, so I get in free for everything -- even the special presentations -- which makes a helluva difference in how I feel about going out to movies these days.
-
Well DR CHAS SMITH - I can't possibly be as exciting as when CLEOPATRA opened in Indianapolis in July, 1963, and Loew's Theater brought in marching bands, majorettes, local television, AND Frances Farmer to comment on the event.

Frances loved her opera length gloves.
Even in Indiana in the summer time.

37 degrees and snow :o Our poor petunias.

Wednesday.
I thought it would never get here.
It should be Friday, already!
-
"Dancing With the Stars" -- they got it right...except for 3rd and 4th place which should have been reversed.
-
Since we seem to be discussing movies from the 1960s, here's a film of the 60s that I greatly love:

-
Very odd. They are doing The Amazing Race Canada for the first time mid-July. But it is only going to be done inside Canada. While I think that this is an interesting idea to me the whole fun of TAR is that they are racing around the world. I don't get why they would do it this way. Except for the fact that they don't want to pay for international flights.
-
George - you said something intriguing about the new board - that you could access the notes from it. That would make me VERY happy but how are you doing it - I can't see any way at all.
-

Well the thing is Jacoby had more charisma IMO and more fans. Just be happy he didn't win.
-
I'm up way too damn early. Didn't get to bed until two - so I guess I either sleep ten hours or five.
-
Except for one section, the liner notes are finished. This one section, however, has me stymied and I am not happy with any decisions on it, mine or the Man from Philadelphia's!
I think I will write some nonsense, put on my shoes, go pay my Verizon bill, and ponder the text while I do other things.

Good morning! Taking a break from packing and going to work!! Not sure that is a better alternative, but I guess the rent won't pay itself.
-
Other than that, I got's nuffin

Wednesday morning greetings! My computer is being very uncooperative today. Maybe it's trying to tell me that I need to be in the kitchen preparing for tomorrow's luncheon instead of here in my Momcave doing computer stuff...
-
I just finished reading this new book about Dr. Max Jacobson, DR. FEELGOOD. He's the doctor who injected JFK, Marilyn Monore and many others with his "concoction".
It's not a very good book; poorly written and there are several statements made that seem to be based on the writers' assumptions, rather than solid research.
My interest in the book: Max Jacobson was the grandfather of my sister-in-law.
::)
-
Larry, when you say "Go pay" you Verizon bill - do you actually go somewhere to pay, or do you mean just mail it?
-
Sorry to be so late to the game, just got my Murder at the School Musical.
Taking a long train ride next weekend, I should read it then if it's not rude with who I'm going with.
But looking at it, I bet it's Skip's kind of fun reading material. I'll show it to him when he gets home.
-
That's quite a pedigree DR DRUXY.

That's quite a pedigree DR DRUXY.
In this particular context, I read that as "Dr. Druxy"....

Horrific attack today against a soldier close to his barracks in south London. He was hacked to death in full view of bystanders by two men using meat cleavers. The assailants who also had guns then stood around apparently taking photographs of what they had done and were shot and seriously wounded by police when they arrived at the scene. Speculation is that it was an Islamist terror-style attack.
-
George - you said something intriguing about the new board - that you could access the notes from it. That would make me VERY happy but how are you doing it - I can't see any way at all.
Sadly, I couldn't directly access the notes from the board. I wondered if it worked like most websites and from the board URL, just deleted everything after the ".net/". That manually got me to the homepage...there wasn't a direct link. And I noticed that there was no link from the notes to the board. Hopefully, links will be added.
-
Larry, when you say "Go pay" you Verizon bill - do you actually go somewhere to pay, or do you mean just mail it?
I walk to a Verizon store and pay it.
-
And I have returned from my walk. I have no answers yet to my liner notes dilemma.
-
And now, I'm off to my sister's to visit with the visiting aunts (and the rest of the family) and to have some homemade brunch! :D
After that, I'm going to work because I have a meeting that I can't get out of...then this evening will be the last rehearsal of "Cinder Edna" without an audience. Tomorrow, we'll have an invited audience.
Have a good day, all!
-
Where is everybody? We seem to stay on page 2 an inordinately long time.
-
Inordinately.
Good word, IMO.

An addition to a recent TOD on Patricia Neal: Cookie's Fortune. She lit up the screen in that one, and her scenes with Charles S. Dutton were acting school exercises in naturalism. Wish the DVD were back in circulation. Prices for it are way too high.

And why isn't it on my TV?? I'm calling PayPal to complain.

I used to see Patricia Neal around town at various parties and programs by friends in the cabaret world. I think they were friends she'd made to the Theatre Guild cruises. She was a beautiful and charming lady, always warm and friendly. I think by then she was pretty much confined to a wheelchair. I liked her enormously.
-
That's a good question DR TCB....inquiring minds want to know.

Shouldn't people be reading a book?

Did a three-mile jog and in a few minutes I'll mosey on over to the Daily Grill for some cedar plank salmon.

Jack, perhaps you should turn this into a theater fundraiser. Tell the parents that you will be happy to publish their child's entire bio; for a theater contribution of $50.00. For $100.00, you will. also print a photo.

DR JRand62, didn't you say that only 5 people auditioned the first night? How did the second round go?

This is a great story!

I say export them all to "their" country. If they wish to live by "their" rules, then they should go where "their" rules apply.
-
DR ELMORE - I had NOBODY on the second night....so I used the five people that showed up on the first day.
I am now going in for the read thru.....which I think will be only Act One.....and of course photography of munchkins.
DR TCB.....they don't want to pay for anything. I hate the idea that we even do theatre in our main season with these brats...and expect our season ticket holders to pay regular prices to see the little darlings that for the most part should not be allowed in a theatre without a ticket - and only then in the back and tied to their chairs.
-
And gagged.
-
Leaving soon to grab a bite to eat and see CLEOPATRA.
I just heard that the local theater had all of two (count 'em) people show up for the 2 p.m. show.
Ouch.
-
The devilled eggs are done, the celery is chopped for the chicken and tuna salads, the chicken is chopped, the cookies (leftover from Sunday's after-church coffee hour) are thawing, the iced tea is brewed and chilling, and the table is set. Soon I will mix the chicken and tuna salads, slice some celery sticks and, probably, quit for the evening.
-
Had some salmon and a shrimp cocktail, neither of which was stellar and both of which are making me a little nauseous. Picked up some packages, did some banking, and now I'm home, doing fun stuff to the ghost board. I've made a new place to discuss all the BK books, which was fun, and I'm going to add Outside the Box to the Nudie Musical board so both can be discussed there separately from the Daily Discussion boards. I'm truly shocked I've been able to figure all this out and do stuff without killing everything.
-
DR Vixmom you were a UPS driver :o Should I have known this?
-
From DR TCB:
I only have ten visits with a therapist left in 2013 through my insurance policy. For now, I will hold on to them.
You know the old saying, if what you are doing doesn't work try something new.
I highly suggest you find out if those 10 sessions can be done with a PT therapist that does pool therapy.
-
From DR George:
That's pretty darned cool, Jane! Did you find the picture on the interwebs or were you actually served this double cup o' cuteness?
I wish I had been served this, never seen anything close to being this cute. A friend found the pic and I copied it.

BK - when is the kindle version of the book coming out? I have some vacation coming up and would like to read the book on vacation and if I don't actually have to take the real book (which I happily own, of course) that would be great.
-
I forgot that tomorrow I am stuck here awaiting a delivery. I will do laundry tomorrow morning, most likely during the predicted thunderstorm and then wait. I will hit Toyland on Friday.
Today, after yesterday's wait, my UPS delivery arrived at 12:30, as I was coming back from the Verizon store.
-
I have asked again yesterday about Kindle - it's everywhere else as an eBook BUT Kindle. Haven't had a response yet, but hopefully soon.
-
They just got me the new test site link for the notes - they got our design in and it looks great. Working out some weirdnesses, but overall it's easy and looks great. The type in the notes is a bit smaller than what we now have, so they'll fix it so it's the same size, but I put in today's notes, added a color to one word (fun), and inserted an Outside the Box episode - it looks GREAT in the notes. They do have to work out why certain embedded links are showing up as text rather than images - they're working on that right now - Broadway World's embeds don't work, for example, nor to Tiny Pic's. But You Tube's embeds work perfectly.
-
They'll have to show me how to put audio in, but we'll get everything else working and then work on the small stuff.
-
Very exciting. I'm beginning to think we'll maybe be up and running for both the notes and the board at some point early next week.
-

I hope it isn't too complicated as I shall be getting ready for upcoming company. If I'm not on the new board before they arrive it won't likely happen until they leave.

Jane, YOU won't have to do anything. When it goes live (unless I'm mistaken), all you will do is go to www.haineshisway.com and it'll be the new board...unless the new board will have a new URL. Hopefully, it won't. :)
-
Everything about the notes and the discussion board will be the same - nothing to get used to other than the discussion board has a fresher look to it - but all the functions regarding posting remain easy/breezy, with the exception you'll have to modify your member profile as George suggested, unless we can figure out how to do that globally for everyone - it's just checking two boxes - once those are checked, the board will function exactly as it always has, but better and smoother with no problems whatsoever.
-
DR Vixmom you were a UPS driver :o Should I have known this?
I had the same reaction. :)
-
Does anyone else like the show Masterchef?
It premieres tonight.
-
I gotta tell you.
-
About to send the first six Outside the Box songs for season three to our musical director to do the pre-recorded tracks. I guess we're doin' it!
-
Good evening!
-
Count me among those who want to hear about DR vixmom's UPS days!
-
More Outside the Box episodes!
-
Well, I must be leaving. I'm off to the theater!
Be back later!
-
The chicken and tuna salads are dressed and chilling and I've quit for the night.
-
Nice DR George, and maybe the quote button will work properly which it didn't do just now.
-
The chicken and tuna salads are dressed and chilling and I've quit for the night.

Obviously the quote button is working again.

Thank you, DR Jane! That's just what I'm doing...
-
They've adjusted the type so that it's the same size as the current notes, so that's done. And the archives are done and where they should be. Next they work on the radio show, the new universal player, and will have a tutorial for Donald so he can do his thing.
-
How does that work to tell Amazon that you bought a book because of someone's recommendation?
I don;t see hoe you tell the site that info.

Will you be able to remove the photos when they get full?
-
Yes, the photo cache will work easily and it will take a lot longer to fill it with the new updated software. He'll talk me through that and a few other things.
-
:)
-
I'm sure you will appreciate not being dependent on others to work your own site. ;)
-
Exactly. I can finally do everything I want and not have to be at someone's behest who, despite designing the site and implementing everything, has not been available for even the tiniest bit of help in over five years. It will be a thrill to have interviews again, and video and audio things - can't wait till it's all propagated and done.
-
:D

'night

Here we go again - WHERE IS EVERYONE?

Here is an article from CNN about the killing of the soldier in London
Soldier Attack London (http://edition.cnn.com/2013/05/22/world/europe/uk-london-attack/?hpt=hp_t1)
What I found even more shocking than the crime itself was once the man had been killed, and one of the "terrorists" was ranting on to a camera filming him; a woman nonchalantly brushed past the crazed man to get wherever she needed to go.

I am now going in for the read thru.....which I think will be only Act One.....and of course photography of munchkins.
DR TCB.....they don't want to pay for anything. I hate the idea that we even do theatre in our main season with these brats...and expect our season ticket holders to pay regular prices to see the little darlings that for the most part should not be allowed in a theatre without a ticket - and only then in the back and tied to their chairs.
One of what we all are Pelli. Less than a drop in the great blue motion of the sunlit sea. But, it seems that some of the drops sparkle, Pelli. Some of them do sparkle.

I forgot that tomorrow I am stuck here awaiting a delivery. I will do laundry tomorrow morning, most likely during the predicted thunderstorm and then wait. I will hit Toyland on Friday.
I think I'll stay home and clean tomorrow.
Then you can come clean my place. Please? ;D

I've started the Howard Keel-Ann Blyth version of "Rose Marie." Nice voices, dreadful songs interpolated into the score and inert direction. I may not finish it tonight.

Had some salmon and a shrimp cocktail, neither of which was stellar and both of which are making me a little nauseous. Picked up some packages, did some banking, and now I'm home, doing fun stuff to the ghost board. I've made a new place to discuss all the BK books, which was fun, and I'm going to add Outside the Box to the Nudie Musical board so both can be discussed there separately from the Daily Discussion boards. I'm truly shocked I've been able to figure all this out and do stuff without killing everything.
I think that is great. BTW, didn't I ASK BK a question?

Well, BK, it seems America shares your views:
Time Warner. Comcast. AT&T. If the names of these Internet service providers make you cringe, you're not alone.
On Tuesday, the American Customer Satisfaction Index released its annual report on "key industries that provide data, voice and video services to U.S. households." For the first time, ISPs were included in the report, along with regulars like the wireless and fixed-line telephone industries.
ISPs received the lowest customer satisfaction ranking of any industry in America. And that's saying something, considering ACSI typically surveys nearly 50 industries per year.
Comcast received the lowest score among Internet service providers, with a customer satisfaction ranking of just 62 percent. Time Warner Cable pulled a close second with only 63 percent of customers satisfied, and CenturyLink took home the bronze in the most-hated stakes with 64 percent of customers content. The Internet service provider industry as a whole had an average customer satisfaction rating of only 65 percent, with just one provider (Verizon FIOS) topping 70 percent satisfaction.

From DR TCB:
I only have ten visits with a therapist left in 2013 through my insurance policy. For now, I will hold on to them.
You know the old saying, if what you are doing doesn't work try something new.
I highly suggest you find out if those 10 sessions can be done with a PT therapist that does pool therapy.
My PT has pool therapy.

Back from CLEOPATRA... which is one long frickin movie, lemme tell you. Fascinating, though, with some great eye and ear candy.
And we beat out the afternoon show's audience of two. There were FIVE of us. So we win.
They must not advertise these things where normal people read, watch, or listen. If I weren't heavily involved with keeping up with this kind of good stuff online, I have no idea if these showings would have any way of coming to my attention. Oh well. I had a very rewarding evening, and I look forward to checking out the Blu-ray next week.

I remember loving the pomp, but so much of the script was really ludicrous. I preferred the way the TV series "Rome" handled it.

Good night, all.

Don't have much to say.

Today is the 2 year anniversary of the Joplin tornado.

Oh yes, some of the script is just crazy. Hollywood, baby. One of these days I'll watch "Rome". I wasn't much interested when it was first playing, but I think its time is coming for me.

Count me among those who want to hear about DR vixmom's UPS days!

Here is an article from CNN about the killing of the soldier in London
Soldier Attack London (http://edition.cnn.com/2013/05/22/world/europe/uk-london-attack/?hpt=hp_t1)
What I found even more shocking than the crime itself was once the man had been killed, and one of the "terrorists" was ranting on to a camera filming him; a woman nonchalantly brushed past the crazed man to get wherever she needed to go.
My God, there is a dead man laying on the sidewalk, a crazed man with blood, literally, on his hands; and she is in a hurry to get to the market.
Or she was just in a hurry to get the hell out of there!

BK, it is fun seeing you so excited and happy about the revamping of HHW!

Oh, my eye doctor said my eyes look really good and I don't have any sun damage. Well duh, I don't go out in the sun. Anyway, my prescription changed just a little. I ordered new glasses and new sunglasses. Yikes! It gets expensive.

Today is the 2 year anniversary of the Joplin tornado.
Two years? Really?
-
I sincerely hope that the continued coverage of the Moore Tornado will result in higher donations for the victims.

Jane had snow today, and Seattle and Portland had the lowest daytime temperature in the lower 48. Obviously Ashland is not considered a city in the lower 48.

One more post.

Hi, Vixmom!

Must have missed the question, TCB - what page is it on?

I think it was page 2. I was just asking what was being filmed at your place.

TCB I donated to Red Cross and Salvation army with the text message thing. I'm thinking about donating to the pet rescue organizations.

My cellphone won't do the text thing, so I am just going to go online to World Vision tomorrow, and maybe the pet place.

We're shooting a little director interview for one of Twilight Time's upcoming releases.

Okay, I was hoping you were starting Season 3.

Not until third week of June it looks like.

Went back to Avenue Q tonight to see a run through with the band (keyboard, bass, drums) and a totally un-miked cast. It was vocally fantastic. I love when singers aren't miked. The balance was great. The show will be a big success. I only had a few notes for the MD.
Tomorrow, AT&T shows up at the apartment to install cable/internet. Saturday is the move. Things are moving along.

;D
Errant and truant.
Tired and must sleep.
See ya tomorrow.
;D

For "Cinder Edna," I have to deal with nine, count 'em, NINE microphones. We had some problems with some of them popping and crackling (technical issues), but tonight, things were much better. Still some crackling, but much better than last night. The show is cute and the set is really delightful. The actors are good and you can tell that they're having a lot of fun.

Tomorrow night, we have an invited audience and then we open on Friday!
