Well, you've read the notes, the notes were drippy, and now it is time for you to post until the drippy cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: ASAFETIDA!
-
First post after Bruce.
-
I would rather be sleeping.
-
good morning to all
-
I am old enough to remember the Margo mentioned could have been the Margo who appeared in the original Lost Horizon and was the husband of Eddie Albert and mother of Edward Albert
-
I think I will go see The Sound of Music today as it was the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th film I ever saw as a child.

Good morning, all.
A bit of a late sleep this morning. Very nice. But now,
Coffee!
-
Allergies can be so maddening. DRY NOSE VIBES, STAT, for BK!
-
I'm going to check out THE SOUND OF MUSIC, too. If the presentation is really good, I'll probably stay through it all.
-
Continued vibes for MR BK & Co....and additional no-drip vibes as well.
-
DR GEORGE and I both have final shows today....matinees.
ALL of the students who are required to see ANTIGONE, and who as yet have skipped it, will be trying to get tickets today. So we will have a full + house. The good thing is that most of them will leave at intermission - the bad thing: that means most of them will not even see me.
We did a photo call last night, so I will post a link once the photos are up online.
AND I did say ALL of my lines last night.

Break Legs, both of yez!

Good morning.

Good morning, all! There's been too much running about on my part this week and my body was not willing to trudge down to Toyland this morning. At noon, I must board a bus to Times Square and transfer to a subway to take me to Houston Street. At 1:30, I'm seeing goddaughter Charlotte in Ionesco's Rhinoceros at a theatre on Bond Street. It's a schlep.
Before I leave, I've got some Moross work, and I'm working on my response to the last email from Philadelphia.
-
Break Legs, both of yez!
Ditto!
-
Hello from Pasadena!
-
I arrived yesterday at about 11:30a.m. I took the "flyaway" bus to Union Station, where my friend Tom picked me up. We had lunch and he took me on a little tour of the neighborhood.
-
Later my friend Leonard and I went to see Cinderella at the Ahmanson Theatre. I was really looking forward to seeing Fran Drescher as "Madame," the Stepmother. Unfortunately she did not perform last night. I still enjoyed it. I'm still amazed at the costume changes onstage.
-
No drip vibes for BK!
-
Feel better vibes for BK!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
DR Kevin it sounds like you are hving a good time :)
-
Good Morning. It's a beautiful day to try to do all the things I need to do on my day "off."
-
Change of plans: This afternoon I'm going to see a local production of '1984' in which I know the director and a few of the actors. The reviews are everything you could hope for, and it's the only performance I'll be able to see.
So, I'll take that opportunity this afternoon and stop into THE SOUND OF MUSIC at 7pm. That one's no skin off my nose, as I get in free thanks to one of the managers being a friend. My goodness, I have friends everywhere! :)
-
Friends are valuable....
-
I shall return.
-
Damn! Damn! Damn! I just called Charlotte t tell her I couldn't make it. Today, the heart and mind are willing, but the body is saying no. Since it wins over the heart and mind, I am both frustrated and pissed off.

I hear it's hot as hell there.

Allergy symptoms be gone for bk and all, like me, who also suffer from that very vermicious knid.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Bruce (and DRs), I've found Sambucol to be helpful with allergies as well as viruses, which is convenient as it's sometimes hard to know whether your symptoms are allergy or cold. Don't take at the same time as Clariton, though. Take a few hours apart.
-
Jane, I don't know if the pollen count is any higher than usual this year, but I've noticed more people than usual sneezing or complaining about their allergies.
-
Allergy-begone vibes to all!

Glad to see Dan M is becoming a regular here again.

So sorry to hear this. I had a similar thing happen a week ago. I hate it as much as you do.
VIBES YOU SOON FEEL BETTER AND ARE ABLE TO GET AROUND EASILY!

Hello, Dan!
To paraphrase The Donna Reed Show (I have a MeTV yen): "Hiya!"
-
Good afternoon, all.
Miracle vibes for all.
-
Crazy busy the last few days. And I have a resume to get together, which I hate doing, and a freelance article to write.
-
Here's a pretty nice article from the San Gabriel Valley Tribune about Micky Dolenz and the ALS event, but, alas and alack, sorry to see no mention of bk:
http://www.sgvtribune.com/arts-and-entertainment/20150416/micky-dolenz-talks-one-starry-night-als-benefit-return-to-pasadena-playhouse
Up until the beginning of April, AntennaTV had been playing "Circus Boy". It was fun to see Mr. Dolenz early in the day in that show and then later in the day in "The Monkees".
"The Monkees" are still closely followed by "The Partridge Family", both of which are still playing on the channel. Of course, on "Partridge" we can see Mr. Haines himself, bk!
When I lived in NY, I enjoyed Mr. Dolenz's stint as a DJ on the oldies station, WCBS FM. Unfortunately the corporate suits unceremoniously booted him in favor of the "Jack FM" computer. I stopped listening. Maybe "Jack" doesn't exist in many places any more, but that was an awful concept. I might as well just listen to an iPod on random play.
-
Just saw a commercial for Sonic with those two bickering guys in the car. Even if I could eat there (not a celiac friendly place), that series of commercials makes it a no-go for me as they are too, too annoying and not, not funny at all. I apologize to anyone who may know them as this is not against them, but the inanity of the ads, which have been going on far too long. Ad agency: come up with another concept! That one's been done to death.
-
DR George, thanks for the heads up on the 10-CD Kurt Weill set. It may be cheaply produced, but the music is wonderful. Listening to the Happy End recording with Lenya and listening more to it than getting my story written. (I'm counting words. It needs to be at least 1,000 words and I've got 350+ so far.)
I also love the fact that they call him "Bert Brecht" on the covers.
-

I'm sorry. I know how much time with Charlotte means to you.

I see the same complaint from facebook friends across the country. Mine are bothering me.

"1984" was incredible. Very glad I went. I'm taking a small food break at home, then I shall be off to the AMC to check out "The Sound of Music".
-
Crazy night. I fell asleep around two or so, but fitfully despite the Ny-Quil. Woke up at five. Fell back asleep at six. Woke up at ten to be ready for the ten-thirty conference call. That took five minutes, then went back to sleep and slept fitfully until one-twenty. Since then guess what I've been doing - answering e-mails! Rehearsal in thirty minutes, then food!
-
I saw The Sound of Music this afternoon with a friend.
I know it was a digital presentation simulcast at same time but I wonder if that makes the colors not as vibrant and the sound almost mono. To me if the sound it the way it should be when the wedding organ starts it should fill the theater, but it didn't in my opinion.
-
Also just noticed for the first time that this image is not in the film. The scenes dissolves to the concert scene before the embrace is completed.
(http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/22200000/The-Captain-And-Maria-the-sound-of-music-22265838-300-400.jpg)
And of course it was in color.
-
I also tried to use this app called Periscope to simulcast bits and pieces of the audience watching the film I am not sure it worked. Don't really understand these things. Don't even use Twitter which you need to use the former.
-

I was wondering how BK knew if it was a cold or allergies. I have been waking up a bit congested most mornings. It did not occur to me that it could be allergies.

10 more posts to the posting milestone (I've actually posted a lot more but at one time the counter was reset for a reason I no longer remember)
The milestone posting will also be around 4pm EST. With some good news (I really hope)

And now, I am done with the last act one. It's sad and sweet at the same time.

Hoping act two goes as well as act one!!!!

Retroactive vibes to Jrand!!! Hope it was a great show!

Thanks, Fred. We have a completely filled and positively resonsive audience, today. A great way to end the run! :D

So far I've sung all Singsaw's posts
-
After church I went back to the little Greek place next door and had the YiA Yia Pistachio. I havebeencraving since my first taste last month
-
It is called GreeKrave
-
And then I picked up mt folks and took them to see The Wedding Singer at the local theatre collge
-
Then after bringing them home did some shopping at BJs
-
I have collapsed after reading all of DR vixmom's posts. :P
-
I began to think last night it might be a cold, but it's just classic allergy symptoms. I'm relaxing and resting. I've finished all the entrance and exit diagrams and we had our rehearsal.
Funny: Lisa Livesay is singing the funny Alan Menken song Pink Fish. I think she's the only female to ever attempt it because there's a lyric in the second verse that makes no sense for a female, but she just sings it anyway. Here's the lyric
I went to my first audition
For Fiddler on the Roof
When I saw the other actors there
I though I had made a goof
No beanie, no beard,
Guess I must've looked kind of weird
But when I heard it was a religious show
I was mighty cheered
I told her it sounded odd to me and took me out of the song. She said, "Well, what can we do?" I wrote her a replacement lyric on the spot. Same first four lines through "goof" and then:
No shmata, no shawl
I guess I didn't "get" it at all
But when I heard it was a religious show
I knew I'd have a ball
Problem solved :)
-

You got it.
1,067 right now. And I feel I'm up to the very, very, very, very part. The magazine folks really want about 1,200-1,500, but this chef just wasn't chatty enough.
-
Now I must have foodstuffs.

That's clever, bk!

The other girls loved Davey but it was only Mickey for me

Did you like it? I've always wanted to see the show. I really love the opening number. The rest of the score is less good, but I don't how effective it is except on the CD.

Allergy begone vibes for bk

What if you're allergic?

And now, back to act two. When this is done, we have our fairly simple strike, then our last cast party.
-
Have a good rest of the day, all!
Until later!

Yes it was fun. The Vixter was in her high school production of it back in the day and one of her friends was this production as Linda the fiancée of the wedding singer
-
The Vixter and I actually went to see it together last night. The trip today was arranged courtesy of the over 50 group at church
-
The high school production had been censored ( for language) I discovered last night
-
I enjoyed it both times but a number of the over 50 ( well, over 70's to over80's) were rather less than amused by the language
-
I quite enjoyed it both times
-

And what frigging planet do they live on? :)
-
The final count: 1197. I think it's OK. I can send it off and collect a pittance. When they decide to pay me.
-
I'm in need of a nap. So . . . I may just go to bed and sleep off whatever it is I have attacking my system.

Well it was a church group so they any have felt uncomfortable. Laughing at all the F words amongst that company
-
I felt. No such restrictions. But then I am a youngster
-
And now a short break before resume work.
I hate writing my resume to the depth of my being. It's almost pathological.
But I like work that pays more.

At least I that group I am

How exciting! We are carrying on apace toward the arrival of PAGE 5.

Taking a break to watch Liza in "The Dangerous Christmas of Red Riding Hood." The video is not of great quality, but the Bob Merrill-Jule Styne score has some weird fun to it. Plus, Cyril Ritchard and the Animals playing the Wolf Pack.
It may be the wrong time of year, but I need a little Christmas.
-
The meal is actually called pastitsio

I think john g should come here and make it for me

The nice thing about Mickey Dolenz is how down to earth he is and what a team player he is.

Back from a cheese omelet and a bagel. Must now relax and just let my brain clear, so I'm ready for tomorrow's long day. Can't take Ny-Quil tonight, though.
-
Just finished catching up with yesterday's posts. DR Mike, I saw "Forever Plaid" at the theater. It was flat and surprisingly lifeless. (I know, they're all dead, but they don't have to act that way.) It was a filmed performance with Fred Willard in the audience, and it worked less well than the filmed Nunsense performances. Also, the makeup was really bad. It made them look even more undead.
-
Hi. We had a busy day, ended it with wine and cheese at our neighbor's and then we went for a walk. It is over 80 degrees today.

Do you have a house??
-
Finished with my viewing, am relaxing and will write the notes in about an hour.
-
In keeping with today's title:
-
The Forever Plaid "movie" is chutzpah at its highest. I don't know who put up the dough, but I'd imagine they lost every penny of it. Everything that worked on stage falls flat. Even the audience reaction is anemic. The funniest thing in the entire film is the "A film by Stuart Ross" credit. Really? A FILM? It's a filmed stage performance for heaven's sake. Just truly terrible and completely understandable that it played less than a week (a night?) and has disappeared directly to You Tube.

Another one I like:

My friends and I went to see Guys and Dolls at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa. It's a really nice theatre. We enjoyed the show very much. We then went to the Spaghetti House in Fullerton.

-
Looking forward to tomorrow night!

Hello again!
Hello!
-
i have finished the resume. I don't whether to let it set until first thing in the morning or just give it 30 minutes or so before I re-read it.
-
A friend is reading it. Guess I'll stay up for his suggestions. In the meantime, the wonderful World of Suzie Wong is playing. Great stuff to work to. It relaxes and energizes.
-
I have written maybe 2,500 words today. And it's supposed to be a weekend day off. Ugh.
-
Hope closing performances for JRand and George were fun.

Yes. I think David Irvine has a sharp sense of humor for him to see that in what was obviously a religious painting.

I have question - if you are sliding through the seats in a theatre and the people occupying those seats do not stand to allow you easier egress or ingress, do you crabwalk through with your back to the people in the seats (which places your posterior at their face level) or do you go through facing them (which puts your genitalia at their face level)
-

I can't do either one. But if I could, they would get my ass.

BTW the reason the people were not standing was because they were all old and it was very difficult for them to stand

Directions
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the ground beef, and cook until crumbly and no longer pink. Pour in the water and tomato paste. Season with salt, pepper, allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon; cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, adjust salt to taste, then refrigerate until cold. Once cold, remove any congealed fat, and thoroughly mix with 2 beaten eggs, and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain, and rinse under cold water to cool. Mix the macaroni in 2 beaten eggs until well coated.
Evenly spread half of the macaroni mixture into a 11x14x2 inch baking pan, sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the grated parmesan cheese, and drizzle with 1/2 cup of melted butter. Spread the meat mixture overtop, then finish with the remaining macaroni. Sprinkle the macaroni with another 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, and drizzle with 1/2 cup of melted butter.
Whisk together 4 beaten eggs with the half-and-half, 1 cup of Parmesan cheese, flour, and salt; whisk until well blended. Pour the cream mixture evenly over top of the pastitsio, and sprinkle with nutmeg.
Cover the pan with foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake until the top has turned golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow to stand for 15 minutes before serving.

It sounds complicated.

Can't John make it for me?

Reminds me of a former favorite of mine when I was not yet celiac:
MOUSSAKA which has eggplant in it.
-
Or, maybe it was eggplant which had moussaka in it, or whatever it was, it was in my pajamas and how it got into my pyjamas I'll never know, or tell.

Break a leg vibes for George and jack
Thanks, Vixmom!

Well, our last show went very well. The strike only took about 45 minutes and the party lasted a couple of very fun hours. We chatted and ate and laughed and reminisced and had a wonderful time at our last cast party.
-
This show was one of the good ones. :)

Here is the cast picture that was taken today after our final show:

I'm now watching "Interstellar." I'm recording "Mad Men" so I won't watch that until later.

That's great George! I spotted you right away! Your picture looks just like your picture. You are ever so helpful. Yes, I am in punchy mode. My stupid upstairs neighbor came home. Stupid 20 year old arrogant self-important no-nothing. I will stop there before my language goes beyond R.

Anyone ever see this? Artwork by David Irvine who "redirects" found paintings (from thrift stores, garage sales):

At first, I though that it was walking away from a TARDIS.

Hope closing performances for JRand and George were fun.
Thanks, John! My closing show was great...I hope Jrand's was, too.!

Just finished catching up with yesterday's posts. DR Mike, I saw "Forever Plaid" at the theater. It was flat and surprisingly lifeless. (I know, they're all dead, but they don't have to act that way.) It was a filmed performance with Fred Willard in the audience, and it worked less well than the filmed Nunsense performances. Also, the makeup was really bad. It made them look even more undead.
Did you happen to notice the sweater that was being worn by the woman that they brought up from the audience? Between shots, the sweater changed position (and the way that it was tied around her shoulders) several times. It was obvious that they shot her scenes at least three times.

I have question - if you are sliding through the seats in a theatre and the people occupying those seats do not stand to allow you easier egress or ingress, do you crabwalk through with your back to the people in the seats (which places your posterior at their face level) or do you go through facing them (which puts your genitalia at their face level)
First world problems. ::)
:D
