Well, you've read the notes (and if you haven't, just click on the Haines His Way on the top left of the page), the notes had a light bulb moment, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they haven't had a light bulb moment yet, hence haven't come home.

And the word of the day is: OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY!
Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

Sorry all, to have appeared to be so rude - I went to bed last night, forgetting to log out.
I just learned that a lost neighborhood puppy has been found, so that's always heartwarming news.
TOD:
CD - The Dick Van Dyke solo album ("Put On a Happy Face"); bits and pieces of "Britten: The Complete Works"
DVD - At Long Last Love; Michael Feinstein's 'American Songbook Series,' vol. 2
Book - Paul Rudnick's second novel, "I'll Take It"

I have not seen a production of Next to Normal. I listened to the album a few times when it first came out. I think it is time to re-visit.
Here's an illicit videotaping of the complete original Broadway production:

TV Show Cast Members Doing Commercials (http://archive.org/details/AssortedTvShowCastMemberCommercials)
The shows are from the 1950s and 1960s. Sky King does a spot along with the Lone Ranger and Patty Duke. Donna Douglas, Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan and Max Baer, Jr. are there, along with Beaver and Dennis the Menace and others. There is a lot of
Pete and Gladys (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_and_Gladys)
Remember that show with Harry Morgan (long before MASH) and Cara Williams?
I remember that soft dog food in a plastic bag, called Prime. I can't find anything about it now, there are all sorts of dog food products called Prime or that have Prime as part of the name so that one has fallen through the cracks
-
I knew if I looked long enough I could find something. I started looking with Gaines Prime and that pulled up all sorts of stuff.
-
And then there was Gravy Train, add water and your dog can have gravy with his dinner.

Many people don't know that in its first draft, Adam Guettel's show was called The Lightbulb in the Piazza...
-
Good morning, all! Hopefully, today will see the finish of the ROBERTA orchestra parts. I'd like to be at Toyland around 9, so that I can get the A/C going before Peter arrives at 10. I just heard on the hews that the temperature will reach 82 today.
I need to make a bank stop on the way, and that's my day.
TOD:
DVD: MIDSOMER MURDERS, several operas
CD: Dearest Enemy, Don Fracks at the Purple Onion, Guy Haines
VCR: Smut

Lots to catch up on from yesterday.
George, interesting that from who auditions - can come a concept. Is the person being a "diva" backstage code for just being larger than life, or a handful? :) :)
-
Have we talked about Cake-pops here on HHW - cake on a stick.
Apparently, the guy that proposed to his girlfriend on a plane served cake-pops to the entire plane.
-
Interesting statement made on CNN:
"If the movie you end up with is the same movie you envisioned when you started, then you didn't listen to anyone else along the way."
-
Not sure if that's true, but it was on CNN. :)

Good morning, all.
And happy Friday vibes.
Singapore, I love "I'll Take It." Great book. "Ipsy Pipsy."

Happy Summer, everybody!

TOD:
It’s been a Blu-only week:
THE HUSTLER (1961)
THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP
PERFECT FRIDAY – It’s a long time since I saw this British caper film but time has not been kind to it. By 1970 the “swinging London” elements already seemed out of date and the trendy editing looks dated as well. What’s interesting about this release is that apart from John Dankworth’s original score, the disc also contains a version of the film with an alternate unused score (as well as some different dialogue) completely different in style to Dankworth’s light, breezy jazz, being a bit like 18th century dance pastiche music which at the end adds Ray Conniff style vocals! No information is given as to who composed this alternate score.
-
"Ipsy Pipsy."
;D

Cake on a Stick?
What will they think of next - Soap on a Rope?

These are true light bulb moments.

Good news from DR CILLA LIZ.
The back porch roof AND siding are done. He is coming back next week to paint, put the gutters back on, and reinstall the lights.

I tried to get through the Mamie Van Doren films last night.....and made it to about half an hour of SEX KITTENS GO TO COLLEGE....an Albert Zugsmith epic....that had a title tune by Conway Twitty titled "Sex Pots Go To College" - which means even Zugsmith had reservations about THAT title.
My favorite Van Doren film is COLLEGE CONFIDENTIAL......
-
That is Jack and Bella, as they are so named in ANGEL STREET.....
-
Good morning, all.
Enjoying all the interesting links this morning.
I do remember PETE AND GLADYS, now that you mention it, DR Ben.

Greetings from Toyland!
A/C on, everything set to go. I haven't unpacked the paper, so I hope the order was correct.

I think the only movie I got a chance to sit down and watch all week was HANG 'EM HIGH, which I'd never seen.
CD: OBCs of ALLEGRO, ME AND JULIET, and PIPE DREAM.

And it was.
First, some breakfast, then I will tape until Peter arrives.

TOD:
We're recording Mel Brooks' DRACULA IS DEAD AND LOVING IT today.
I've never seen it before, so we'll probably watch it tonight or tomorrow.
-
Yes most entertaining links....Barbra....AND commercials!!!
-
I ordered the ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS Blu Ray from Criterion.....it was on sale....
-
I remember Pete & Gladys.....if I am not mistaken, Verna Felton was also carted over from December Bride to take part in the festivities... I wanted it to be funnier than it was....I just remember one episode: the title characters had forgotten they were invited to an anniversary party for friends. They didn't have enough cash in the house to buy a present, so they had to empty all of the piggy banks. Cara carried all of the coins by making a pouch of her skirt....and they tried to cross the street and were endlessly stopped by the red light....dropping all of the coins JUST TOO MANY TIMES.... I don't think I watched again after being bored by this episode....
-
Friday morning greetings! I was E & T last night because my book group met at Lynne's to discuss Anna Quindlen's LOTS OF CANDLES, PLENTY OF CAKE. It was my last meeting as leader of the group, a 22-year run. Sharon is taking over and will do a great job.

I, too, remember PETE & GLADYS. Our next door neighbors in Detroit were Pete and Betty and my dad always called them Pete and Gladys. Last spring, Mom and I visited

I love Anna Quindlen. I just got the book to read (it's on my Sony Reader). I'm looking forward to it.
-
I love Anna Quindlen, too, DR Ben, and was disappointed that some of my friends found her writing to be "nothing special." Well, there's that little Pulitzer Prize...
-
22 years!!! That's older than some PEOPLE!!!

Soylent Green is People.

DR Jrand62 - I may have missed it, but I don't think you have reported on the super-dooper new convenience. Is it...convenient?
-
DRs Ginny and Ben - I have really wanted to like Anna Quindlen. But starting one or two of her books, I just haven't been able to get into her groove. Is there one book in particular that you would recommend for a beginner?
-
DR Jrand62 - I may have missed it, but I don't think you have reported on the super-dooper new convenience. Is it...convenient?
OMG it is wonderful....uses much less water.....ONE FLUSH.....it is a super HUSH FLUSH that is quiet and quick....the seat that came with it is kind of thin plastic, so I may replace that, but yes it is great!!!

I have finally located a desk/secretary for ANGEL STREET. It doesn't have the interior drawers I need, but I have a plan to work around that. It was $299 and I can sell it at the end of the show. :D

Inside terior of said furniture.

So glad, DR Jrand62. :)

Overheard at office. Woman on phone:
"Why do you want to buy the world's largest chocolate bar?"
a moment later:
"I know, I'm the world's most horrible mother."
-
Turns out the chocolate bar was priced at a reasonable $89.95.
-
Here's something to wash it down with! :)

I'm up, I'm up. Once again I thought it was around eleven only to find it was just after nine - eight hours, great sleep, but can't seem to just get that longer sleep I need.

bk, maybe it's mini-jetlag!

That looks like it could use a candy bar to go with it, SlimJim.

I'll be interested in DR Ben's answer, because I've always felt she was speaking to me as a wife and mother.

I thought the latest update to Safari had fixed the You Tube problems but no, cannot get two minutes into that Next to Normal video - so I don't know if it will help, but I'm downloading Google Chrome right now and will use that - if that works, bye bye Safari until they listen to people who use it and put it back the way it wuz when everything worked better, including a simple ability to play videos on You Tube.
-
That said, I hope Google Chrome is faster than the damn download - which is going to take twenty-five minutes to download 50 mb - which should really take about five minutes tops - that could be their site or a lot of people downloading at the same time, but it's ridiculous.
-
I have downloaded Google Chrome and am on it - doesn't seem any faster on this here site, but I'll now try You Tube.
-
In fact, trying to navigate here is inane on Google Chrome - I had to click post six times before it actually did anything.
-
I use Chrome. I haven't had that problem, fortunately.
-
Goodbye Google Chrome - hated it. Just nuked it right off the computer and hope it isn't hidden there somewhere. Now I'm downloading Firefox and we'll see how that works.
-
Many people don't realize that in Elton John's original draft, the song was titled "Goodbye Google Chrome..."
-
Goodbye Firefox - none of these are optimized to work well with Mac, at least that's what it looks like to me.
-
And the word of the day is: OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY!
Smoke on your pipe and put that in.
And The Song Of The Day Is: WHO CAN I TURN TO?
-
Good morning, all you DR's, and thanks for the later welcomes I missed yesterday.
By the way, whenever I see "DR" here, I think of Fyvuush Finkel, who used to call everyone "Doctor". He'd say, "Dr. Yacko, how are you? *reaches out to shake hands, then flips palm up* Loan me fifty." One of his many classic schtick jokes.
You're right, Bruce, they've made a mess of Safari. I use it for a few sites, and Firefox for the rest. I'm looking at a browser called Opera now.
Next to Normal. Hmmmm. Liked it somewhat, but for the life of me, none of the music stuck with me. And I'm not sure I need to see it again, unless I'm supporting a friend in it. Sadly, I saw Alice on the tour's opening night in L.A., and she sang under the tone all night. Must have been having a bad night. Otherwise, I liked what she did with the role.
DVD - The Newsroom, Season 1, Disc 2. Loving it so far.
CD player in the car - Manhattan Transfer's "Tonin'". Their 60's R&B album with guests artists, like Laura Nyro, Bette Midler, Smokey Robinson, Frankie Valli, BB King and Ruth Brown. Fun driving music.
Happy Solstice, All!

I first started reading Anna Quindlen when she wrote for the NY Times. I felt a connection to her, in much the same way Ginny did, even though I'm not a mother or wife. She writes about things which resonate with me. One True Thing and Object Lessons are two of my favorite books of hers. I also like Black and Blue very much, even though it's a difficult book to read as it deals with domestic violence.
If you don't enjoy reading her, though, then so be it. I hope that the 3 books I mentioned are not the ones you have tried to read and put away. If so, horses for courses.
I cannot get through a Jonathan Franzen book. I've tried. I got through a few chapters of The Corrections and said, nope, ain't gonna finish this and it went back to the Library. I tried again with Freedom and again, I stopped a few chapters in. I also cannot abide books by Dan Brown (Da Vinci Code, etc.) or Stephen King. I've tried but never finished a single SK book. They don't work for me on any level.
That doesn't completely answer your question but I hope it helps
-
Thanks so much, DR Ben (and DR Ginny) - I will certainly try them! :)
-
Back from a two-mile jog - didn't want to push today - but may do another two later.
-
Now it's time for food.

I know someone who could use some help eating the world's largest chocolate bar!

It's always time for food, isn't it?

We did a Costco run during lunch today. Samples and a hot dog. :)

For some reason, I want a candy bar now.

Perhaps DR CILLA LIZ will post some photos from the Barry Manilow Concert!

Loved those commercials, DR Ben!
I have several episodes of PETE AND GLADYS on homegrown DVDrs. Have only watched a few episodes. Not bad, but not exactly DECEMBER BRIDE.
An actor I interviewed guest starred on the show once. It was a very unpleasant experience, he said.
-
Franz Waxman at Paramount (http://www.kritzerland.com/waxmanTrio.htm) has arrived!! That's what's in my CD player right now!
-
I am home sick from work today. Woke up with a sore stomach, which is feeling better, but I am quite tired. I see another nap in the near future.
Anyway, it is giving me some time to spend with cat Freddy. He still won't eat and he won't drink now, either. I think he is nearing the end and I am going to need to decide soon on when to do the inevitable. It is always a very difficult decision. I know he is not feeling good. All he does is sit in the hallway. No cuddling. No begging for treats. No running about. Poor little guy.

BK, could that be the problem with the YouTube clip...that it's such a large (single) file that enough of it hadn't loaded before the playback got to the end of what had downloaded? That's happened to me before.
-
Oh no! Vibes for DR MBARNUM and Freddy.....
-
Thanks for the vibes guys. I appreciate it.
-
Now I am gonna settle down with a sandwich and watch this movie which looks like the perfect thing to watch on a gray, cloudy day when one is home sick.

Downloading Maxthon to see if that works better. The You Tube thing is a problem whether the video is one minute or two hours.
-
Had some bacon and eggs, picked up some packages and shall now try to finish the edit road map - I got another third done this morning, so one more third and it's done.
-
My movie is on Dame May Whitty in that movie....
-
Off to Pimlico Square in Victorian London for awhile.
-
Have downloaded Maxon and it does seem to be much friendlier to You Tube so I'll keep that one.
-
The orchestra parts are taped, and I am closing shop and heading home. I'll catch up when I get there.
-
Thank you DR Singdaw. I was so sleepy last night I was sure I it would be a good night. I ended up getting only 2 hours of sleep between 5:00 & 7:00am.
-
I gotta tell you.
-
But I won't.
-
Oh no! Vibes for DR MBARNUM and Freddy.....
And from me as well. It's terribly upsetting when our pets get too old to enjoy life.
-
I am sorry to hear that, DR Jane! :-\
-
I finished the edit road map. I had to order a copy of the DVD for this film so I can write the notes on Sunday. It will be here tomorrow. Of course, I'm absolutely certain I have it in the garage but there's no way to find it, unfortunately.

A discarded Follies costume concept:

So, perhaps I'm done with work for the day.
-
From DR Chas:
Another oddly decent sleep here, for which I always feel grateful, as though it's such a rarely bestowed privilege. Why, oh why (oh why-o) is the perfect sleep such an elusive, special thing these days? HELL, we had them all the time in our youth!
So true though I have been prone to nightmares as long as I can remember.
-
So, perhaps I'll go watch a motion picture. Someone is picking up some CDs but since this person has never ever showed up on time I don't really care and if I don't hear the doorbell, oh well.
-
I'm absolutely certain I have it in the garage but there's no way to find it, unfortunately.
I hate it when that happens. And it happens to me all too frequently.
-
From DR elmore:
My goddaughter's mother, who has apparently dropped me as a friend along with her husband, is the first voice you hear on the OBC of COMPANY. In the Making of documentary, she's in a purple minidress. I'm weeping no more over the two of them.
As sad as the loss of your friends are I'm glad your beloved goddaughter still spends time with you.

DR MBarnum,I am sorry to read DC Freddy has been worse. It is so hard to say goodbye. I'm sure you will know if it is time.

Perhaps DR CILLA LIZ will post some photos from the Barry Manilow Concert!
Not sure if I can swing it, I'll have my cell phone.

Have you taken him to the vet? Is there a possibility he just has some sort of infection?

I need some dinner.

One True Thing is the only book of hers I have read and I liked it. Keith fondly remembers her father.

I perked up after working out. I should go back outside and walk around. It is beautiful out and the wildlife have been active.
All morning there was a rather vocal Red Tail Hawk out there defending her territory from another Hawk. Using the telescope Keith found her sitting on a very high tree.
-
I'm going to get some soup to sooth my sore throat.

I am really disgusted that Food TV is firing Paula Dean because she was asked if she had ever used the word "nigger' in a deposition. She answered yes that she used it about a man who put a gun to her head when she worked in a bank, and that she had probably used it since then but it was a long time ago. This is just political correctness gone way too far. It would be amazing if someone raised in the south her age hasn't used that word.
Seriously I don't like racial slurs, but what happened to free speech? I'm done with food tv
-
You just used the word though I don't think that is what they meant ;)
Did they fire her before there was backlash over this?
-
And the word of the day is: OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY!
Smoke on your pipe and put that in.
Poor Arnold! That one is cruel.

Sorry all, to have appeared to be so rude - I went to bed last night, forgetting to log out.
I just learned that a lost neighborhood puppy has been found, so that's always heartwarming news.

Bits and pieces of complete works. Say what?

Barnum, sorry to hear the news about Freddy. I hope it all works out in a peaceful way.

Bits and pieces of complete works. Say what?

Well, it's time for me to leave. I'm meeting my niece at the Urban Onion, a local restaurant. Tonight will be the kick-off for tomorrow's Capital City Pride (http://www.theolympian.com//2013/06/20/2592963/capital-city-pride-festival-enters.html). My niece is on the board of the local PFLAG and I guess they're going to be there, too. Tomorrow, I have been coerced into helping set up the PFLAG booth (well, the tent) and I need to be there at 8:00 in the frakin' morning! :o That's too frakin' early! But I said I would, so I will.
Anyway, have a good rest of the evening, all!

I gotta tell you.

I am home sick from work today. Woke up with a sore stomach, which is feeling better, but I am quite tired. I see another nap in the near future.
Anyway, it is giving me some time to spend with cat Freddy. He still won't eat and he won't drink now, either. I think he is nearing the end and I am going to need to decide soon on when to do the inevitable. It is always a very difficult decision. I know he is not feeling good. All he does is sit in the hallway. No cuddling. No begging for treats. No running about. Poor little guy.
Feel better vibes for DR MBarnum and Freddy!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TV Show Cast Members Doing Commercials (http://archive.org/details/AssortedTvShowCastMemberCommercials)
The shows are from the 1950s and 1960s. Sky King does a spot along with the Lone Ranger and Patty Duke. Donna Douglas, Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan and Max Baer, Jr. are there, along with Beaver and Dennis the Menace and others. There is a lot of
Pete and Gladys (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_and_Gladys)
Remember that show with Harry Morgan (long before MASH) and Cara Williams?
I remember that soft dog food in a plastic bag, called Prime. I can't find anything about it now, there are all sorts of dog food products called Prime or that have Prime as part of the name so that one has fallen through the cracks
Do you mean Gaines Burgers?

It was fantastic

Friday morning greetings! I was E & T last night because my book group met at Lynne's to discuss Anna Quindlen's LOTS OF CANDLES, PLENTY OF CAKE. It was my last meeting as leader of the group, a 22-year run. Sharon is taking over and will do a great job.
Any dear readers here read LOVE, LOSS, AND WHAT I WORE?

22 years!!! That's older than some PEOPLE!!!
Not you.

Ohhh, its chocolate. I thought it was the floor of Westminster Abbey.

Good morning, all you DR's, and thanks for the later welcomes I missed yesterday.
By the way, whenever I see "DR" here, I think of Fyvuush Finkel, who used to call everyone "Doctor". He'd say, "Dr. Yacko, how are you? *reaches out to shake hands, then flips palm up* Loan me fifty." One of his many classic schtick jokes.
You're right, Bruce, they've made a mess of Safari. I use it for a few sites, and Firefox for the rest. I'm looking at a browser called Opera now.
I can see the headline tomorrow in Variety:
YACKO TO TRY OPERA!

I am so sorry, Mike. Are you sure it isn't something that the doctor could fix?

Too late. I do a corporate show that's a send up of The Three Tenors, complete with a full out Nessun Dorma as a finale. :)

Actually, in this house, I would be the one that freaks out at midnight disturbing Nick's sleep.

Perhaps DR CILLA LIZ will post some photos from the Barry Manilow Concert!
Not sure if I can swing it, I'll have my cell phone.
Unless Patti LuPone is there, I doubt Barry will mind. He used to allow photos at his concerts.

You just used the word though I don't think that is what they meant ;)
Did they fire her before there was backlash over this?
They announced this afternoon that they wouldn't renew her contact after this month.

Well, it's time for me to leave. I'm meeting my niece at the Urban Onion, a local restaurant. Tonight will be the kick-off for tomorrow's Capital City Pride (http://www.theolympian.com//2013/06/20/2592963/capital-city-pride-festival-enters.html).
Anyway, have a good rest of the evening, all!
George, you don't have to say a local restaurant. You can just say The Urban Onion where David Wechter and Bruce Kimmel always eat when they are in town.

Finished with my viewing for the evening - one interesting film and one absolutely wonderful film.
-
Good evening, all.
DR MBarnum...very sorry to hear that you are at that sad stage with DC Freddy. I hope you have a trusted vet to consult with.

Watched "Mary Poppins" tonight. What fun. This movie had a big impact on me when I was 2 or 3 and was taken to see it for the first time. It remains one of the best movie musicals of all time, IMHO. The Sherman Brothers score is aces, and the cast is flawless. David Tomlinson reveals more each time I watch the movie.
-
On that note, good night, all.
-
Back from opening night (of a two-weekend run) of this R&H revue. Nothing much to say about it. I'd probably like to see an expert group do it sometime. In short, this ain't it. But it's fun enough to play.
-
Looking forward to hearing about the two motion pictures.
-
I gotta tell you.
-
But I won't.
-
All I can say right now is Skinny Cow, if you get my drift.

Okay, two things.
First, NOBODY was 2 or 3 when MARY POPPINS was released! So just stop that right now, DR John G. Good lord.
Second, for all the LD and DVD copies of this I've owned, I don't think I've watched it in more than twenty years, and I believe this shall have to be rectified in short order.
-

Ah, you are eating an ice cream sandwich?
-
No, an ice cream cone.
-
I saw Mary Poppins at the Chinese Theater.
-
I saw The Happiest Millionaire at the premiere at the Pantages Theater.
-
I saw The Parent Trap at the Vogue Theater - FIVE times!

True! And as far as I know, there is no other "Urban Onion" in the world! :D

Well, my my, the Fox Network is getting more grown up all the time. I turned on our Fox Channel to catch the 10:00 News, and I caught the last few minutes of a show called THE FOLLOWING(?). This guy walks into the bathroom where a young lady is in the shower. He starts apologizing to her for something (not walking into her in the shower) and she pushes back the shower curtain to reveal another guy in the shower. Now that is not so shocking, but in this show, the young man then climbs into the shower (fully clothed) with the other two people and all three of them start hugging and kissing.
Now THAT you don't see every day.

I think you may be right about that.

Listening to a really odd score to Shanks, the final William Castle movie - Blu-ray is on its way, too.

I like this one too. There are more on my facebook page. I had a really good time. I was in with the crazy fanilows, but they were enthusiastic and it was cool. He did do a beautiful ballad from HARMONY. Other than that it was all his hits.
-
He did lament about turning 70 last Monday.
-
If the rest of his musical HARMONY is as good as the ballad that he sang tonight, I can't wait to see it. He said it will be in Atlanta and then LA. Will be anxious to hear about it.
-
There was a lot of dry ice fog so they get the beams from the lights. Makes it harder to take a clear photo
-
He has very very skinny legs. Couldn't help but notice them right in front of me, lol

Time for bed. My grandnephew Dash turns one Saturday..so today where I am. I'm going to his birthday party so I better get some sleep. It will be an early morning and lots of driving to and fro

I've always enjoyed Manilow. I just can't look at his face anymore - too much surgery.

Happy Birthday to DGN Dash!! ;D
And glad you had a great time at the Barry Manilow concert!

I must go to sleep now. I have to get up extra early to help my niece and the Olympia PFLAG set up their booth for tomorrow's Capital City Pride celebration! I'll stick around for the parade and see what happens after that.
Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow (a Jane Curtain on Saturday Night Live reference). ;)
