Which reminds me of one of my favorite stories - The Randy Vicar and the Flatulent Sheep.
William F. Orr, I note that in your profile it says you know esperanto. I am soon about to watch the only film in esperanto, "The Incubus" starring the great Shatner. Have you seen this? I have read the esperanto is not great in it, but have otherwise heard this film is one of a kind, crazy beautiful.
The word of the day is: FLATULENT!As in "Remember the FLATULENT me a week ago? Well, I got it fixed, and it rolls perfectly now!"
On diegetic:There's something about the word diegetic that makes it sound like something Karen Carpenter would have taken.
Swoody, it is a very frustrating word. People use it in musical theatre, but it seems to have originated in film criticism. I can find it in no dictionary, and all the on-line searches tell me what it means, but not its origin. Appears to be Greek, doesn't it? But who coined it? [Shrugs his shoulders.]
The allergy clinic has concluded I am allergic to NOTHING.Most people don't have to go to the doctor to prove they aren't empty-headed!
It's all in my head!
Is this a slow news day here at haineshisway.com?
Is everyone off being FLATULENT?
What If has been nominated for 0 LA Drama Critics Circle awards. Frankly, I felt our very own Jose Simbulan should have been up, but the most egregious slight is for Cheryl Baxter and Joseph McKee's wonderful choreography, which received raves in every single rave review. Since there are only three people nominated in that category it is especially stupid. But then you look at the list that comprises the seventeen members of that organization and you understand everything. It's why LA theater is rarely taken seriously.
Oh, and I am NOT researching "male performance issue". Thank you very much!
;D
Here is your Allison Hayes Picture of the Week. Allison as Grace in THE UNEARTHLY as featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000! ;D
As for dream vacation: Back to Australia, but this time I would like to make it up to the Reef, across the Outback, down to Tasmania and over to the west side of the continent to Perth (at least). Of course, I'd have to stop in Melbourne and see DRs Tomovoz and Colin again, as well as meet DR ozderek.
Anywhere BUT Indiana? Well....I don't know what to say. It's not exactly the vacation spot of the world....well the Midwest....but there are few things to do now and then.
Oh yeah, there's lots to do in Indiana. You can play "Guess what Grandma put in the Jello," you can watch my cousin Mary Martin Merman Sondheim Lloyd Webber Gilbert Sullivan mow the lawn, you can listen to a monologue about carrot sticks and ice cube trays... There's lots to do in Indiana.
Wouldn't you just as soon go out and spoon beneath the Hoosier moon? Oh, what a moon!
—That's the great song "Kokomo, Indiana".
Vaughn Monroe had a hit with it, but who here can name the film it is from????
So, how are things going, Mom? How's the plumbing? (Anything to put off doing this paper.)
DR Jane I meant to comment on this yesterday. You said that you were telling your son about the BACHELORETTE and how one of the contestants (ryan) was from Medford Oregon. Was it an article in the paper? What did it say? From what I've seen he seems like an awfully nice guy.
And include a trip to The Museum of the City of New York at 5th Av and 105th Street! Their theatre collection is wonderful.

That's the spirit, Ron Pulliam. Once a Hoosier always a Hoosier.
And who among us, who have seen the brilliant biopic of Jane Froman called "With A Song in My Heart", can forget the glorious sounds of Froman's voice singing...
"...when I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash..."
...to a teary-eyed Tom Ewell?
I ate a very yummy sandwich. However, the deli was out of alfalfa sprouts yet again, so I had to do without the sprouts.
I don't watch the BACHELORETTE, but apparently one of the other final three is from Brockport, NY, where I am sitting right now, in my office.
Gerry I believe is from Rochester NY (which I will assume is where you are).
This guy is totally stunning. But for some reason he does not seem as genuine (as the others).
And this is a bad thing?? Sprouts = :P
Question for the chefs here.
What is the best way to whip egg whites so that i get them to have those peaks all recipes seem to ask for.
Well DRJENNIFER - my expert tells me that the egg whites should be room temperature, that the bowl MUST be completely clean and dry (copper is best) - add a pinch of salt and about a 1/4 of the way through the process add two drops of lemon juice.

Oh, and I see Jed, too. But apparently he just likes to log on and stare at his toenails.
You would be more than welcome Jose. I hear the sound of OZ chocolate calling you. OzDerek's sister used to (!) work at the Chocolate factory in Hobart.

OK - I need to run a few errands before driving back up.
Until I'm back in Fairfax...
Laters...
Ron, they can’t test for everything. You must be allergic to something, or there is some other medical problem the doctor simply can’t determine.
DR Jane I meant to comment on this yesterday. You said that you were telling your son about the BACHELORETTE and how one of the contestants (ryan) was from Medford Oregon. Was it an article in the paper? What did it say? From what I've seen he seems like an awfully nice guy.
LOL. DR Sandra is NOT kidding.
Ron, so you are saying it is all in your head. ;D
Do you plan to take something for that or just suffer?
As for suffering....what do I know from suffering?
Has anyone here seen "Caroline or Change"?? If so, is it a "must see" for a theatre person? I have one night to see it before it goes away, I'd like to be sure it's worth my time. Is it?
Cillaliz New Orleans is a great place. Have you been there before?
Yes, once before, on Halloween in 2003. It was crazy! Since Mardi Gras will be over, I'm assuming it will be quieter this time.
Clean bowl. Do not use plastic nor aluminum.
If you have an electric mixer - stand or handheld - do the same thing. Start off slowly to get them frothy, then turn up the speed to High(est) and you should have fluffy egg whites in no time. Watch carefully since it is very easy to over-whip them (they begin to look dry and curdled).

Magnus and Fosca are still talking about your visit.
Sprouts!
Sprouts!
Sprouts!
Tra-la, tra-la, tra-la!
I love all sprouts -- alfalfa, brussels, etc., etc., etc.
They're like mini-gardens exploding in your mouth!
They have classified my symptoms as vasomotor rhinitis. That means that nerve endings, in my nose and on my skin, are being reactive to "irritants".
Allergy tests only detect "immune reactions". No immune reaction is involved in vasomotor rhinitis and tests cannot identify the irritants.
If you have positive tests, you are said to have "allergic rhinitis" and symptoms are classified as "immune reactions" to allergens (versus adverse reactions to irritants).
See?
:D

Thanks, DR Jane. It's a criminal defense lawyers meeting, we always have a good time.
I didn't use plastic or aluminum.I have a handheld electric mixer. I can get them frothy. And i can get them fluffy. But I couldn't get them to be rigid with the peaks. :(
Say, JoseSPiano, what show is it you've been playing with? (If you can say.)
Also, the general humidity in the air can prevent egg-white rigidity. I think I heard that somewhere. Although I know not the humidity index where dear Jennifer was doing her egg-work.
What a day...it just kept getting worse. Tomorrow must be better, by default.
