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

And the word of the day is: NIDICOLOUS!

First post after BK!

T.O.D.
That is a tough one.

All quiet on the western front of the U.S.
-
Good night and good morning!
-
First after BK and TCB!
-
Good morning to all

TOD: so many favorite performances.
As to recordings, I'd say The Trolley Song and Get Happy are the ones I most often seek out on YouTube, so they're probably my favorites.
-
TOD
As TCB said
add: The Judy Garland Show when it was just here alone.
The Wizard of Oz
The Harvey Girls
-
A really really really fun performance of "That's Entertainment" by Judy Garland, and her attempt at telling a Borscht Belt joke at the end of the clip

The wizard of oz comes immediately to mind... It played every year around Thanksgiving and as we watched her open the door to Oz on our little black and white tv. My dad would describe how suddenly the movie would change to color!!!

This is a very interesting NY Times interview with Molly Ringwald, who is returning to the New York stage as Aurora in Terms of Endearment

(it's a play version of Terms of Endearment, not a musical)
-
Good morning, all!
-
I'm feeling rather aimless today.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I need to get myself moving. I'll turn the clocks back.
-
Pretty aimless here, too.
Got plenty to do, but I had a restless last few hours of sleep peppered with extremely silly and annoying dreams, and I just feel like sitting in this here recliner getting a nice slow start on things.
-
One thing for sure:
More coffee!
-
I just ate my last egg/applewood smoked bacon/cheese breakfast burrito. Wish I had another.
Failing that, perhaps some toast.
-
I need to blow the last few days worth of leaves off the yard and driveway and into the woods as best possible.
This is a never-ending task. And there are still tons of leaves on the trees.
-
Good morning.

This is a never-ending task. And there are still tons of leaves on the trees.
Why don't you do what my neighbor's "lawn" service does: blow everything into all the neighbors' yards, especially right after they wash the cars.
-
Another busy day today.
-
I'm up, I'm up - barely - I guess I got around seven hours of sleep.
-
I shall now be on my way to rehearsal, after which I shall return and have another rehearsal.
-
Rehearsal vibes!!!
-
Two!
-
Good evening, all.
-
The time change here happened last week. I guess I don't get that extra hour after all.
-
Hi, JohnG, hope all is going great!
-
Good morning!
-
Well, it's been a rather busy 3 months. 10 weeks of shows - 4 shows, Legally Blonde, Spring Awakening, Evita and School of Rock. All were fine, but I won't be going anywhere near that drek that is Spring Awakening ever again. I only MD'd School of Rock with high school kids and that was awesome. Evita was also done by a high school, and they pulled it off quite well. This will be the first week of being show-less and I'm really happy!! The last weekend was challenging as I had some sort of stomach thing happening and had to conduct School of Rock with several bouts of nausea on Saturday night. I don't recommend that to anyone.
So now I'm show-less for a few months. Then in January it starts all over again. I'm looking forward to Spring Break as I'll be heading to NYC to see shows, sights and people. I have tickets to see Bette in Hello Dolly! and of course I'll see Sunset Blvd.
The dogs are finally getting along. In fact, I'm listening to them play on the patio as I write this. I can't be happier. It was touch and go for the first few months, but some puppy day camp has done wonders for both.
That's all for now.
-
Hi, JohnG, hope all is going great!
Everything is wonderful. Thanks.
The weather has been excellent. Today's foraging included basil and arugula, plus more oregano and fennel. Maybe some garlic; will have to check that out in daylight.
-
Good to see you, Matthew. Sorry your path had to cross with Spring Awakening.
-
Saturday.
Continued rehearsal vibes for MR BK & Co.

Hooray for TCB and company!
And congrats to Jed.

I am not a Garland fan, and I have never understood the "Judy" cult. I like her performances in "The Wizard of Oz," "Meet Me In St Louis," and "The Pirate" very much.
-
DR Jeanne, did you see my answer to your psychic phenomena inquiry?
-
I tried watching DIRK GENTLY the other night and couldn't even get through the first episode. Does anyone like the show? I like quirky humor, but this didn't work for me.

DR Jeanne, did you see my answer to your psychic phenomena inquiry?
Yes, I did. Thanks for reminding me. (Half a brain at the moment due to lack of sleep.) My impression is that most of these are similar to yours, i.e., more of a vision that any sort of interaction.
When I lived in Old Town Alexandria there was sometimes a strange presence in the guest room on the third floor. (House was circa 1820.) No actual ghost sighting, but just a feeling that there was something there. I wasn't the only one who felt it. A painter I'd hired asked if the house had a ghost. He'd been alone in the house, working on the third floor. I'd never mentioned a ghost. I dealt with it by talking to the ghost/presence one day when I was alone in the house. I told it I wished it no ill will and that it was welcome to stay, but please not cause any problems. (No poltergeist, please!) We seemed to get along after that.
Thanks for your answer, Larry, and I'm always up for ghost stories.
-
And, no, I didn't mention it when I was selling the house. Many houses in that neighborhood have a reputation, but I'm sure the real estate agents avoid the topic.
-
Vixmom, have you recovered from your fall?
A quiet office must be a welcome change.
-
Continued travel vibes to John G.
-
Good to see you, Matthew. Sorry your path had to cross with Spring Awakening.
I did it as a favor to an MD friend of mine. He hated it too. But the keyboard part was hardly worth my time or effort to get there (and set up and tear down) each night.
-
Household chores need to be resumed, then a nap, I hope.
-
TTFN.
-
I had a near miss with Spring Awakening myself. When an emergency came up with an MD's family, this theater group called every MD, keyboardist, and plain old Sunday School Pianist in the state of Connecticut in an attempt to get people to step in for even one performance. I knew absolutely nothing about the show, and ducked just in time. Close call.

I'm glad I did it, but I'll never go near it again. At least it's on my resume and people that go gaga over the show will see it and be impressed LOL

I don't like shows (TV or movies) where the humor is supposed to come from someone who has everything go wrong and no one cares. I don't remember the original book at all, so I don't know if it's anything like it. That being said, Elijah Wood's character wasn't as downtrodden as others I've seen, and he had some non-depressing moments that made it more palatable. Also if nothing else, the two lead actors are nice to look at. ;)

I miss my dad
Awww, hugs.

We watched the entire first episode which Keith regretted. Until after we watched I didn't realize it was suppose to be funny. I maybe laughed few times. It is very strange and I am fine with not seeing another episode.

I've accomplished a few things today, and I solved a modulation I was not happy with in my choral arrangement. Unhappily, I made a lousy error in the Guys & Dolls percussion part for 25 bars of the Havana sequence that my collaborator Jason just caught. It's embarrassing because it means h has to go back and clean up a mess I let pass.
-
The clocks and my watch are turned back, so I'm already on tomorrow's time schedule. In about an hour I wil give some thought to dinner.
-
WElcome back to Matthew!!!
-
Well, I must be off. I'm going to my parents' for dinner, then I have to leave to work concessions at 6:00 pm. I forget what it's for, but since I signed up for concessions, it's not something that I specifically want to watch. So, I'm bringing my Kindle to read during the show.
Be back later.
-
Saturday afternoon greetings!
The clocks and my watch are turned back, so I'm already on tomorrow's time schedule. In about an hour I wil give some thought to dinner.
We are also on tomorrow's time, but it's because we drove this morning to Evansville, Indiana, for Fr. Richard to participate in an ordination service. The way I figure it, by tomorrow we'll have gained 2 hours but we'll lose one of them on our way home.
-
The service was lovely and was followed by a nice reception. We're now settled in our hotel, watching the second half of Michigan/Maryland. Michigan leads, 38-0.
-
So, what happens tonight? Clocks BACK? I can't keep up.
-
Back from the run-through (barely) and now Kritzerland rehearsal, then, finally, food.
-

Yup, clocks "fall" BACK ;D

All I know about Spring Awakening is that I saw a clip on tv. I gave away the tickets to the tour and also the tickets when the local theater did it.
-
I've been watchig a British DVD, The Ghost of Greville Lodge. It's a family ghost story with a few really scary moments and a good cast.
-
For some reason I am extremely tired today. I think it is because I did not take an afternoon walk.
-
Fore some reason I am extremely bored that we're on page THREE!!!
-
Really?
-
Three hours without a damn post?
-
Had our stumble-through, then went to Du-Par's because I was craving their mac-and-cheese, which I had with a small Caesar. The first thing we heard upon entering was "Cash only" - seems their system was down. The second thing we heard was "no Diet Coke." Two strikes. And then there was the mac-and-cheese which was like soup. Three strikes and you're out.
-
In fifteen minutes I will be jogging, then I don't want to do anything but listen to music and let all the people I know who are NOT coming to either Kritzerland or The Brain know exactly how I feel about it.
-
Did they still charge you for the mac and cheese once you complained?
-
My mother and I ere invited to a luncheon to celebrate the grand opening of a new cancer treatment center today. My radiation oncologist and his team (they also treated my fathers thigh tumor and my mothers brain megliamona) are moving it o a beautiful new center . It is wonderful place and it was very moving to see everyone again and to share stories with others who have been treated or are being treated by my amazing Dr JohnAmes
-
A lot of tears were shed and and a lot of laughs were had
-
And the food was wonderful
-
Is the site slow or is it just my iPad?
-
It was a beautiful day and the trees are all showing their beautiful fall colors
-
Not slow here.
-
Back from a two-and-a-half mile jog - that mac-and-cheese was so gross - I wished I'd stopped eating halfway through but naturally being a good Jew, I finished it, mostly because I hadn't eaten any other food.
-
Good evening!
-
Not feeling very well today.
-
A touch of a bug, I guess.
-
Hello, Vixmom!
-
I had to skip DRACULA tonight.
-
It is a dark and stormy night.
-
Not really. Mostly just non-stop rain.
-
A good night to stay home and work on my lines.
-
Or, in my case, to sit around and watch football.
-
GO BLUE!
-
Tomorrow I have to put aside my script and work on the book for a few hours.
-
It has been about five days since I have done any writing.
-
I need to get back in the habit of daily writing.
-
I was hoping I would get an update from friend, Betzy, on where the book is heading.
-
But I can't wait around for someone else to tell me which way to go.
-
So I will just journey forward.
-
Thank you all for the congratulations about SECOND SAMUEL's nomination.
-
I guess I was the first one involved with the show that found the nomination.
-
I had thought I was the last one to know about it.
-
I am watching the Washington Huskies play California.
-
The Huskies are ahead 35 to 20, but they aren't playing that well.
-
I had soup and crackers for dinner.

That is very nice you both could be there for the event. May you never have to go as a patient.
-
It was good, but I am not sure I am full.
-
But I will certainly make it through the night without a snack.
-
Scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast.

Do you like tapioca pudding?

My next rehearsal is not until Wednesday.
-
Hopefully I will be off-book by then.
-
We don't have to be off-book until Monday the 14th, but the sooner the better.
-
George, of course, has the biggest line load.
-
Clarence and Mary both have a lot of lines, but I have a lot of long speeches.
-
But I can't wait around for someone else to tell me which way to go.
I agree.
-
LOL! I was just remembering in junior high school when we would get cast in the school play, we would all count the number of lines we had to see who had the most.
-
I haven't thought about that in years.

Hello, Jane!

Well, I worked concessions for the Olympia Chamber Orchestra. It sounded good from the lobby. The other concessionaire and I did not go in to listen. We both stayed out and read our books. After intermission, we cleaned up, put things away, and left. I went and got me something to eat and read some more. Now I'm home. :)
-
Hey, George, did you watch MISS SAIGON yet?
-
Page five? Really?
-
Hi Tom.
-
Hi Tom.
Why aren't you reading?
-
Hey, George, did you watch MISS SAIGON yet?
No. I have programs on my DVR that I need to watch.
-
I had to skip DRACULA tonight.
That's too bad. I'm going to the final matinee tomorrow.
-
We don't have to be off-book until Monday the 14th, but the sooner the better.
What a coinkydink...we in The Physician In Spite of Himself need to be off book by the 14th, also.

It's too early in the morning.

I just watched this past Moday's episode of "The Odd Couple" and they previewed next week's episode. It's going to be a Gary Marshall tribute episode. Gary Marshall played the father of Oscar, who is played by Matthew Perry. They're having special guests who were on some of the shows Gary Marshall created. Cindy Williams and Penny Mrshall will be in the episode, and are interviewed for this clip from Entertainment Tonight:

I recorded "Star Wars: A New Hope" on TBS and on my 16:9 widescreen TV, the image fills the screen. The problem is that the movie is supposed to be 2.20:1, meaning black bars on the top and bottom of my widescreen TV. That means that even in a world with widescreen TVs, we STILL have to deal with modified images and full-frame movies. That's just wrong!
