Well, you've read the notes, the notes were how it is, and now it is time for you to post until the how it is cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: OLIGARCH.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
I will be the oligarch of the day. You don't get to disagree with this decision, because it comes from me, the Oligarch. (I get to capitalize now, because I've claimed the title.)
Good morning all. I hope you enjoy living in the Raianiemi Oligarchy for as long as it lasts. Which is bedtime, later today.
-
me, the Oligarch.
Ah, so you're the one who grabbed DR Cillaliz's crown when it fell off last night.
-
No one writes musicals about Oligarchs anymore.
Too hard to rhyme. :)

I am back from Florida, where we celebrated my Dad's birthday, I enjoyed some excellent food (mostly at home with Mom and dad), played cards a lot, and celebrated the Jewish holiday as well of course.

Yet "oligarchy" is easy to rhyme. Funny quirk of the language.

Good morning.
It's dark outside, and cold inside.

For Tuesday.
Happy vibes.

I'm pleased to say that today I've successfully unblocked the blockage in my washing machine waste pipe!
-
Good news DR DOUG R!
Everyone should be so resourceful!
-
Feeling good morning vibes for DR ELMORE!
-
There was a Poltergeist in my mailbox yesterday!
Yes, hurray for signed booklets!
Today is a banking and shopping day, since I didn't go yesterday. Perhaps I will find some bargains.
-
I voted and now I'm at work.
That is all.
-
Relaxing and comfortable vibes to dear friend Larry.
-
Good Vibes on a Tuesday (which kind of sounds like the title of a movie in the 60's- with , oh I don't know......Barbara Hershey, Skye Aubrey and maybe Abby Dalton.)
-
Good morning.
-
Good morning to all
-
Health and Healing vibes to DR Larry
and all others who need them

I couldn't think of any child's star yesterday morning and by the time I got home I totally forgot about posting a list. The choices yesterday were pretty good.
BUT
There are exceptions, but most of the child stars mention only had one good film in their cannon.
I would like to add Haley Joel Osmet who was cute in Forest Gump but really carried the movie in The Sixth Sense.
-
As for today
I don't have a favorite John Ford film. I know he made a lot western and shot them in Monument Valley.
Ditto for Claudette Colbert. I can name two of her films. One that I've seen, but it's not a favorite.
As for Henry Fonda
I admire his role in Once Upon a Time in the West. Where he played a cold blooded killer. Very against type.
A lot of his other roles he did (that I've seen) for me he was Henry Fonda up on the screen rather than the character. He was also very good in ON GOLDEN POND, which I am sure other people will name
-
THANK YOU ALL DEAR READERS
For all your good wishes for Kismet. He has tons of energy when we go out for our walks and he has great appetite when I give him his special food twice a day.
I will speak with the Vet on Thursday when I take him back for a checkup on Thursday to see what caused this.
-
Tuesday morning greetings! Yesterday was busy, busy, busy, getting ready for and then presiding over the first AAUW Middletown general meeting of the 2013-14 program year. Potluck dinner was yummy, as usual, and the business meeting and program went according to plan. Madame President was exhausted last night!
-
Today I have to make an appearance at the book sale site, where they're moving in our tables and some of the books that have been stored in various garages. Then, I'll proceed to Dayton for my monthly lunch with the grantwriters.

Very belated 34th wedding anniversary wishes to DR Laura and her husband!

Voting done here, too.

Good morning, all! I am completely drugged out: I cold not sleep last night, and I slept fitfully most of the night. This morning, around 7:15, I took another flexerill, Tylenol with codeine, and two regular Tylenol and slept until 10:45 or so. I'm feeling very groggy, but I am out of bed abd hoping that I can get back to my regular sleeping pattern tonight.
I have nothing else to report, alas, except that I am sorry I cannot vote in today's primary: I'd like to do my bit to keep most of the asses who've been wasting my time and energy on their phone calls and mailers out of office.

DR Elmore, DON'T take any additional Tylenol with Tylenol with codeine. That's really bad for your liver. You should be able to take some ibuprofen with it, though. Just don't double up on Tyelnol. You don't need liver problems, too!

Nice article and snap, DR JRand! And placed right next to "God's Corner." That must be an indication of something or other.
-
DR Elmore, I echo DR Laura's suggestion. You don't want to make your situation even worse.
Hugs and vibes from me...that surely will help!

My favorite John Ford flicker: How Green Was My Valley.
Favorite Henry Fonda performance: as the bumbling male lead in The Lady Eve.
Favorite Claudette Cobert: The Palm Beach Story.

I see in the LA Times that music composer Fred Katz passed away on Sept. 17th. His music for films like WASP WOMAN, BUCKET OF BLOOD, and LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS was very unique.

I'm awake.

This week is tech week for the Heights show. It's going to be a long week
-
It wouldn't be a bad idea, Elmore, to call the pharmacist, explain you are still in terrible pain, and ask what the safe thing to do would be.
-
Tonight, the orchestra comes in. 4 of my 9 players are playing under the stage. It's the first time I've tried this. I'm a little scared about it. We have a video on me so they can see me, and I'm promised by the sound designer that we'll have everything we need to get them to hear us and us hear them. I just hope to get through tonight without any train wrecks.
-
Elmore, just make sure you have food in your stomach before you take anything, especially ibuprofen.
-
I'm up, I'm up. I was asleep before one and the phone rang just before nine, then I fell asleep until it rang again at ten.
-
bk, you are always awoken by the telephonic device! Maybe you should turn all ringers off before bed! Although, the ringing of the telephonic device has served it's purpose when you've slept longer than usual and are late for a meeting.
Nevermind... moving on.
:)
-
bk, you are always awoken by the telephonic device! Maybe you should turn all ringers off before bed!
You are not the first DR to suggest this, DR Matthew! :)

That's where I do my theatre, DR MBARNUM....right next to God's Corner....
-
bk, you are always awoken by the telephonic device! Maybe you should turn all ringers off before bed!
You are not the first DR to suggest this, DR Matthew! :)
Probably doesn't want to do this in case it's an emergency. But maybe tell people not to call before 10am or else wake up at 9am.

You're probably right, but given my track record of keeping up around here...

Back from a nice lunch meeting and hiring the replacement gal to do the Adriana Hofstetter audio books. It was proving too difficult for our original gal and on top of that she got cast in Annie as the star to be on B'way for the last few months of that run. So, it's now Francesca Blumenthal who was, ironically, my first choice before but for various reasons wasn't doable then.
-
I spent part of my afternoon paying bills and watching tv. The other part was given up to some of my physical therapy exercises and telephone calls. Now, I'm looking at various mattress sales online.

Vibes to Larry!
-
Horrible day today with the laptop out of commission most of the day.
-
More vibes for Larry and a third on the recommondation against the double Tylenol.
A double bourbon is more my style, but probably not too good for your tummy, either.

Most of Tim Rice's musicals deal with oligarchs or royalty of some sort and the issue of power: Joseph ..., JCS, Chess, King David, Aida, The Lion King, even the Road to El Dorado.

We're having a heat wave and then it's supposed to cool down by Friday--the weekend sounds like it will be great.

I would like to announce that I went to work today at 8:30 and left at 5:30 ... and I took a 1/2 hour for lunch

They actually let you do that? How fantastic!
I wish we could sell that damned land in Ohio. That was just a parenthetical thought since you work in real estate.
-
I also overexerted myself a few minutes ago getting a jar of instant Folger's out of the cabinet over the fridge. Sometimes living alone is not easy, especially when you're infirm.

I was debating a run for page 4 but it's too far and I'm not feeling that agile.

In 2006, I saw a concert version in Issaquah, Washington at the Village Theater's New Musicals Festival, and met Fred and his ever lovin' Skip in person! Jonathan Betuel, who wrote the screenplay was there, too. AND a pre-Broadway concert version of "The Million Dollar Quartet," starring Lance Guest (the star of the movie, "The Last Starfighter") was featured during the festival, also! Both Jonathan and Lance were kind enough to autograph my DVD. :D
-
TCB, did you see that with me? All of a sudden (no surprise, though) my memory's vague on who saw that with me. TCB or PennyO. And I also got to meet (former?) DR Julie. That was a great week! Thanks again, Fred! :-*

I must admit I am floored that it's still running. I found it funny, fast and outrageous, but the score unmemorable and not my cup of tea.
I've had some deelish pastrami on rye, and I am ready to think about bedtime.

I spent part of my afternoon paying bills and watching tv. The other part was given up to some of my physical therapy exercises and telephone calls. Now, I'm looking at various mattress sales online.
We purchased a mattress topper for our old mattress and it made a big difference and cost less than a new mattress. I didn't expect to like it either as it is a memory foam topper from Costco. It took a couple of days to work for me while Keith's hip immediately felt better.
-
More vibes for Larry and a third on the recommondation against the double Tylenol.

Alcohol and Tylenol together is especially bad on the liver.

Maybe a friend can stop by and help you put things where they can be reached more easily.

Greetings, all!
For a day off from the show, it was rather busy for me, hence my late entrance here.
I had a noon recording session to add some new material to the demo for a developing B'way show called Mr. Confidential, based on the real life goings-on of the man who start the Confidential Magazine back in the 50's. The music has a bit of a City of Angels feel to it, and the writers have already had one staged reading of the show in NYC a few months back.
The nice thing about the demo is that two of the other main singers are Howard McGillin and the amazing Christine Ebersole, and I am singing the role of the charming yet alcoholic villain (my new specialty?). if you want to hear any of the show's demo, you'll find their site here: http://www.mrconfidentialmusical.com/.
Back to my other show tomorrow, but thankfully without the person who was making it worse. Maybe we'll salvage it by closing. :D
I hope everyone is having a great early week.
-
I have never given anyone vibes for their show to close. Instead I will send SALVAGING VIBES!!!
-
Had a good session with Sandy and Lanny although we didn't run anything because she forgot the music :)
But we mapped out the launch version of her show and I can do the patter for that now, and tomorrow we'll run the Ira Gershwin show. The NY date for that show isn't in two weeks it's in mid-October, so I'll definitely be back in NY for that and will book the trip soon.
-
In other very preliminary news, I've been asked to direct (and write patter) for a big all-star benefit in January that Juliana Hansen in involved with - I've said yes.
-
In other very preliminary news, I was contacted by the artistic director of some theater in LA who wants me to come direct a revue based on the songs of Newley and Bricusse - she'd heard about the Kritzerland show, loves my work, and so we'll be meeting on Monday to discuss the particulars. The daunting part is that she wants to open the show in early November - which means if it works out I have to actually create the show in the next three weeks - certainly I've done it before with What If and I do have the Kritzerland show as a basis, but would have to expand that, figure out a structure and what the patter would be and how it would work. I think we'd keep the cast small and do it very simply with either a trio or maybe even just a piano. I told her that if we can work out all the details, that I'll do it. She knows I'd have to be gone for three days in mid-October, and that our Kritzerland rehearsal days would have to be worked around, but that shouldn't really be a problem. It would be an eight to twelve week run and while they have a group of actors, I would not be forced to completely cast the show from within their company and could therefore bring in a few people, which would be great.
-
I have never given anyone vibes for their show to close. Instead I will send SALVAGING VIBES!!!
Salvaging vibes are as good as any. Hope it goes smoothly.

Best of luck on the two writing-directing gigs, BK.

BK, your preliminary news items sound very exciting indeed!!
-
I guess it's supposed to be a Robert Preston double feature kinda a day. The second flick tonight is "Tulsa," part of a two-movie Susan Hayward set. Preston co-stars, along with Chill Wills and more.

Hey, Larry, you mean you didn't vote for Anthony Wiener today?

Congratulations on all of these opportunities, bk.
I surely don't know how you do it all.

I miss my Kritzerland email blasts, they reminded me to order. Seems I must have more than 150 cd's by now. And I listen to them all.
Think I'll go and check the site.

In the mail today was a solar powered plastic owl to keep the ducks & geese, if it works, from feasting on the fish. Keith named it Ollie but I am going to call it Blair as the head spins in a full circle.

Good morning!
Well, it still feels like morning, especially one after little sleep. Yes, I did drive to Cincinnati, all twelve hours of it, and I did indeed TAKE MY HAND OFF THE WHEEL to wave in DR Ginny's general direction. It was quite the dramatic moment, lemme tell you. The drivers around me on I-71 would tell you, too!
-
Two days here, then driving back on Friday.

...where there should be a POLTERGEIST II waiting for me.

I had a noon recording session to add some new material to the demo for a developing B'way show called Mr. Confidential, based on the real life goings-on of the man who start the Confidential Magazine back in the 50's. The music has a bit of a City of Angels feel to it, and the writers have already had one staged reading of the show in NYC a few months back.
The nice thing about the demo is that two of the other main singers are Howard McGillin and the amazing Christine Ebersole, and I am singing the role of the charming yet alcoholic villain (my new specialty?). if you want to hear any of the show's demo, you'll find their site here: http://www.mrconfidentialmusical.com/.
Back to my other show tomorrow, but thankfully without the person who was making it worse. Maybe we'll salvage it by closing. :D
I hope everyone is having a great early week.
I am listening to this while perusing the board -- I look forward to seeing you on Broadway!
Thank you so much. I look forward to that too. :)

Well, it's time for the monthly Theater Artists Olympia board meeting. I'm a bit tired so I hope I don't get bored with the board. ;)
Until later!

Have some Skyline for me, ChasSmith.
I just had a Gold Star 5-Way, and will have a Skyline one tomorrow or Thursday.
Welcome to Cincinnati - don't forget Graeter's!

I passed the one on Beechmont Ave. tonight that shall not be forgotten! :)

Started the second Susan Hayward movie, "Smash-up: The Story of a Woman!" (exclamation point is theirs, not mine).

But I'm fading. Good night, all.

Did a three-mile jog - I think from here on in the jog has to be done before noon - it's now a little nippy in the evening.

Cilla, sorry your crown fell off. Queens don't let their crowns fall off.

I had a small ham and swiss for lunch. I had coconut cream pie later in the afternoon, but only ate about half. Tonight I had about a five ounce cube steak (haven't had one of those in decades) and some slaw. So, with the jog I still think I'm around 1300 calories. The cube steak is really low in calories, about 250, the sandwich was 500 max, the pie probably 700 max and the jog took 300 calories away. Not bad.

Watched the first thirty-five minutes of the original The Fly. Now I'll read some chapters.

I couldn't think of any child's star yesterday morning and by the time I got home I totally forgot about posting a list. The choices yesterday were pretty good.
BUT
There are exceptions, but most of the child stars mention only had one good film in their cannon.
I would like to add Haley Joel Osmet who was cute in Forest Gump but really carried the movie in The Sixth Sense.
Yes, I agree with Mike. Oh, I mean, Ditto!

Today I have to make an appearance at the book sale site, where they're moving in our tables and some of the books that have been stored in various garages. Then, I'll proceed to Dayton for my monthly lunch with the grantwriters.
Ginny, have you ever thought about retirement?

TCB, did you see that with me? All of a sudden (no surprise, though) my memory's vague on who saw that with me. TCB or PennyO. And I also got to meet (former?) DR Julie. That was a great week! Thanks again, Fred! :-*
I went and had lunch with you and Skip and Fred, but missed the performance due to my back.

PennyO and I are often confused for each other due to our hair color and diminutive size.

Right...there is that. ;)

First night with the orchestra... wish I could say it rocked, but it was frustrating. Being in the hands of the sound designer, whom I trust, is frustrating. Tomorrow will be better
