Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fluff, and now it is time for you to post until the fluffy cows come home.

And the word of the day is: DEROGATE!
-
good morning to all
-
The first movie I ever saw about a teenager was a film from 1939.
I believe the main character was a sociopath.
There was a woman in her home town that she didn't like and she threatened to bite her.
When due to a storm she gets blown off course from her town and she ends up killing two people just to get back home.
But she is a likable character. An anti-hero of sorts
-
Happy Day, Folks!

DR JohnG I totally remember Edward Lee as I am a big Top Chef fan. That must have been fun.

Speaking of FLUFF (or FFULF), for $4,000 plus shipping you can buy a mirror that projects clouds into the image:

Good morning, all.
I've been giving it some thought, and I think BK is right. It is Saturday.
-
I woke up today a little congested. it's probably because the temperatures have been so wonky. Last night it was cold. Then on Tuesday it is supposed to be 80s. Very confusing!
-
My son called me first thing this morning.
His mother passed away last night.
Despite our differences, I still cared about her and I owe her much.
Not a good day.
-
Wow.
Condolences, DR Druxy.
-
That is so sad DR Druxy. Vibes for you and your son. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Sorry for your loss DR DRUXY. Vibes for you and your family.

DR VIXMOM I am nowhere near I-94.....not even close.
-
The rehearsal was nice....the rehearsal dinner was good....especially the bourbon soaked roast beef, which I had never had before.....
I have to change a bit of the wedding talk because of how the wedding planner is doing the ceremony.....it is taking place on the landing rather than at the bottom of the stairs....and there is not a lot of room for the Unity Candle....we shall see what they do.....or how it goes. We will be in Lilly Hall which is I think a different photo than I posted yesterday.... :D
The configuration will be like this:
(http://tenthirteendesign.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/eli-lilly-hall.jpg)
So I will walk down the first flight of stairs with the men and then down the other flight of stairs after the ceremony for the photos.....

TOD:
I like the teenage films from the 1950's with all of the 25 year old teenagers....especially
RUNAWAY DAUGHTERS
TEENAGE BRIDE
LIFE BEGINS AT SEVENTEEN
TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN & TEENAGE WEREWOLF
I also liked last year's PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER....and a few other more contemporary films.....
-
Something was a little off with THE NANCE for me.....the writing didn't really support the weight of the story....
I liked it....and most of the performances...but you can write second-rate burlesque stuff that is still funny....most of the songs and sketches were not well-performed....and I know the point is that it's NOT good stuff....but I don't think that was the reason they were as bad as they were.
And Douglas Carter Beane looked very different than I thought he would.
-
Good morning, all!
Another morning of no internet. I had a loverly conversation with a Time Warner technician about the situation and my frustration. Clarly, Time warner doesn't think that four days of on and off outages is a concern. If Iwere a business suffering from this, they might feel differently.
On top of that, I am coming dowm with a cold, which irritates me, and I must go out in the damp to the pharmacy and market.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

DR JRand64, when I worked with Douglas in 1985 at the Drama Book Shop, he was a funny conversationalist and a mediocre employee. It was a place to schmooze. He was better than some of the employees who thought the job was to cozy up to, and date, celebrities to get ahead in show biz. He's gained weight with success, spouse, and family, but I think much of his writing is funny but a bit shallow. His book for Cinderella could be a lot better.
-
AH thanks for the personal insight DR ELMORE.
-
My sympathies, DR Druxy.
-
I don't think that Beane's book for Cinderella is any better and I say that without having seen the Nance.

I just heard from our DR Ben. He and Anthony have been in Minneapolis with his sister, who's been ill. She died yesterday.

From DR John:
In one of the church scenes, sitting behind Shirley MacLaine.
I wish I still had the DVD to go back and look.
I'm reading more about Bernie now. I hadn't known about about his release. I found an interesting article written by Marge's niece. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/9243732/How-my-wicked-aunts-murder-became-a-Shirley-Maclaine-comedy.html That woman truly was a horror.

Saturday afternoon greetings! Mary Linda and I were out of here at 10am for AAUW Middletown's October meeting and book brunch. Our speaker was Katrina Kittle, a bestselling novelist who lives in Dayton. She was a delightful speaker, the catered brunch was delicious, and the business parts of the event went well. Madame President is now geared up in her Michigan sweatshirt and ready for some football - painful as it will probably be.

Condolences to DR Druxy.

Condolences and hugs to DR Ben and family.

I enjoyed the Nance. Nathan Lane is great in everything I've seen him in.

Thank you DR SINGDAW....off to get ready ... and then off to the event.

And I have been to and from the pharmacy. Public transportation is screwed up today. I waited over 20 minutes for a 104 bus downtown, and then three arrived back to back. I got to the pharmacy and picked up my meds, and waited over 20 minutes for an 11 bus back uptown, so I walked to Broadway and picked up a 7 bus to take me home.
Public transportation in this City is ridiculous.

Condolences to Druxy on your loss.

I should ask why they don't sponsor book brunches here. Do you also like her books?

Hello, everyone.

Yes, a sad day today at HHW.
Druxy, my condolences to you and your family.
-
My condolences, too, to Ben and his family.
-
Let's hope Vixmom doesn't see the article about the <ahem>.
-
Chas did mark it clearly, so Vixmom should be safe.
-
Last night I watched RADIO DAYS and enjoyed it very much. I don't recall having seen it before. Like BK, I thought it worked very well. Had Woody Allen only made a few films, this should have been one of them.

Cold-begone vibes to Larry.

Well, some of us may be a bit short of money after buying all the CDs and DVDs (and sometimes books) we read about on HHW.

The November issue of LIFE EXTENSION magazine has a picture of the actor George Hamilton on the cover. He's 75 and looks FABULOUS!! Of course, there may have been considerable touch-up and I don't know if he's had any little nips and tucks, but even so he looks GREAT. Quite inspiring, IMHO.
-
Have a good weekend, everyone.
TTFN.
-
Oops. TOD:
THE HEDGEHOG--NOT your typical teenage story, which is partly why I like it so much.
I'm sure there are others, but none spring to mind.

TT deux.

I met him in person while horse back riding in Palms Springs with my girlfriend. It must have been in the early 60's when his career was just taking off. My friend recognized him so we went over to ask if he was an actor. He was extremely nice to us. Over the years I would see him walking around Beverly Hills. I never had the chance to talk to him again. I always found him to be much better looking in person.
-
I picked up a friend today who needs help as she can't drive and uses a walker. When I left I was comfortable wearing a summer skirt. By the the time we arrived at the memorial service we attended it was already cooling down and it was much cooler when I dropped her back at home. I wish I had taken a shawl to wrap around me.
It was a nice service for the mother of a friend. They held it on what would have been her 92nd birthday. I am in book group and in the hiking group with my friend, and since I hike with the Trinity Church hikers I new a number of people that attended. My hiking friends didn't immediately recognize me in a skirt and without a cap on. ;D

The configuration will be like this:
It looks very nice.

Has anybody seen the new show with Viola Davis, How To Get Away With Murder? I just watched the first three episodes and I really like this show!
-
No, haven't watched it.
-
Condolences to Ben and Anthony.

Lazy day. I tried the new (to me) barbecue jernt. Had a side of three baby back ribs and a pulled pork sandwich, all of which, while not quite up to the Kansas City Barbecue, were excellent. The sauce is on the sweet side, but again not quite as good as the KCB. But the best was the side of mac-and-cheese - spectacular. I'll be back.
-
Otherwise, just drove a few places and relaxed my brain.

She is so good. And the storyline is very interesting. I wasn't sure what to expect. It's basically that she's a big time lawyer who teaches at a law school. And she uses a bunch of her students to help with her cases. The cases are interesting.And the continuing storyline is super usual and really good.
-
We have HEADHUNTERS to watch but I'm not sure I want to read subtitles as I'm a bit groggy.

After mentioning yesterday about the Green Hornet being the grandnephew of The Lone Ranger, the Green Hornet's father was in the Lone Ranger episode we watched.
Hey, it is a post.

'night

Finished Act One of The Nance. Now on to Act Two, and hopefully there will be a frenzy or nine at some point. I did treat myself to a chocolate peanut butter donut thing and boy was it good.
-
And when I woke up my pillow was gone.
-
So I bit him.
-
What a splendid idea - forget the set-up - let's just have punch lines.

Page three? Really? This does not bode well and frankly we need all the good bodes we can get.

So I bit him.

Page four? Really?

Try the peanuts, they're complimentary.

Back from a really good show (or really good shew, if it were Ed Sullivan announcing it). This audience was populated with a number of obvious AVENUE Q aficionados who tended to laugh BEFORE their favorite lines ... but hey, we'll take it.
-
Just back from ushering at the symphony. They did Mahler's Second and the performance was genuinely thrilling. I had goosebumps in the last five minutes and they kept growing until the end.
I was up in the balcony, the only usher for 400 or so seats, which were not supposed to be sold. I was told there were five tickets sold, but it was actually almost filled. I did a lot of running. But I did manage to get a box seat to sit in. During the third movement I looked up and saw someone at the back with a green light. Thinking it was someone using an iPad to tape the show -- a no-no that we're supposed to watch for -- I quietly made my way up there only to discover that they had positioned the four French horns who are supposed to be off-stage up there.
-
Watching a bootleg of "Inventing Mary Martin" with Jason Graae and Emily Skinner. Fun.
-
So I bit him.
-
Enjoyed most of The Nance.
-
Maybe I'll start a motion picture.
-
I was to play the organ part in the last few minutes of the Mahler 2nd (this was in 1968), when all power to the organ was lost and we had to do without.
It didn't matter much, because it turned out that Herr Mahler had scored the thing so brilliantly that the organ wasn't much missed. And I have the recording of that concert to prove it.

Many organ jokes in The Nance.

DR vismom - did you drive through GARY??

I did indeed at least see the exit for Gary and of course I sang the song Gary Indiana Gary Indiana Gary Indiana that's the place that I belooooooong
