Well, you've read the notes, the notes were hung on the clothes line, and then put in the incinerator next to the naughty paperbacks, and now it is time for you to post until the hung up, burned out, naughty cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: ORTHOGRAPHY!
-
First post after BK!
-
Second post.
-
I am surprised how warm it is in Tacoma.
-
I woke up at 12:30 with a coughing attack.
-
Now I am falling back to sleep.
-
I had a short(ish) impromptu nap with all the lights and TV on. ::)
-
I am still swake.
-
George what time is your alarm set for?
-
But now, I really must get my beauty sleep in preparation for today's yardwork at my parents' place
-
George what time is your alarm set for?
10:00 a.m.
-
I'm now FINALLY off to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning
-
Good morning, all.
-
I think it’s time for a nap. Probably Benedryl residue.
-
I watched Safe a while ago. While I enjoyed Michael C Hall's and some of the other's I felt the writing went off the rails in the last few, but I stuck with it until the end because at that point I really just wanted to see where it went.
Others have told me they loved the ending but I wasn't a fan, I'll be interested to see what BK thinks
-
Good morning, all!
-
When I woke at 6:20, my lower left back was in so much pain I could not stand up straight. I fed the cats, and went back to bed. I think I might have a kidney stone in progress and that bothers me.
-
So, I may cancel my appearance at the afternoon dress rehearsal of I Married An Angel and - even worse - my plans to rescue Scooter from euthanasia if no one else does. At the moment, I want to go back to bed and stay there until the pain goes away.
-
It was quite cold last night. Annabelle parked herself on one side of me and stayed there until breakfast, while Thatch sporadically showed up to nestle in on the other side to nap and get warm before he ran off to look for roaches or play with his toys.
-
I remember bits of two dreams: a new musical called South Pacific opened and the Upper West Side was abuzz with excitement. I remember "There Is Nothing Like A Dame," and, carrying Thatch, walking up Amsterdam Avenue from 79th Street to my apartment. In the other, I was rehearsing Judy Kaye, accompanied by Billy Hicks, singing "The Legend of the Castle" from Babes In Toyland. We were rehearsing in a studio in the middle of open country, and we could see a car driving up the road. The driver was Jack Viertel and then I woke.
-
T.O.D.
Dick Wolf's various LAW & ORDER series.
Can't get enough of them.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I had a Benadryl night, too, and am moving a bit slow because of it but man, it was what I needed.
-
I was about to say no dreams remembered, but I did wake up with some song from A Chorus Line ringing in my ears, which ordinarily would help lead me back to what the dream was. Oddly, I don't even know, now, which song! Maybe something will happen later today to bring it all back.
-
Back to Shrek today. I want to be able to play Keyboard 1 at least competently at an orchestra rehearsal on Thursday.
-
Annabelle and I made our patrol. She was happy, adding a few new sounds - almost clucking - to her repertoire
-
I'm sore, but after playing in the halls with Annabelle, I don't think it's a kidney stone or whatever it was I went through in 2017.
-
I love cat clucking and chattering.
-
Good morning!

Thanks for the travel vibes, TCB! They worked- my flight arrived early.
-
George what time is your alarm set for?
10:00 a.m.
Nice and late.
-
I slept late and didn't wake up until 7:00.
-
Continued book vibes for MR BK.
Feel better vibes for DR ELMORE.

DR JOHN G I remember a review of THE LAST MOVIE in Life magazine....it said that there were some slates that said "Scene Missing" and that it would have been more honest if they said "Sense Missing"....
-
Crime Dramas!
Police Story
Police Woman
The Detectives
Adam-12 & Dragnet (in all its forms)
Perry Mason - sort of a crime drama
NYPD Blue
Nowadays I don't watch any regularly....but I like the NCIS shows...
-
DR JOHN G I remember a review of THE LAST MOVIE in Life magazine....it said that there were some slates that said "Scene Missing" and that it would have been more honest if they said "Sense Missing"....
Yup. The infamous Scene Missing slates were funny. The rest of the movie had its moments, but too much was drug-induced pretentiousness. Very much of its time.
-
Like Frederick in The Pirates of Penzance, I am a slave to duty, At 11:30, when I saw Scooter was still unrescued, I decided to reserve him to save his life. I'd worry about the rest of the issues after he was saved. The good news is that a rescue is in progress, and I was told to try later if it fell through. I hope it goes through and that his rescuer is good and loving to him. I'm sorry - and relieved as well - to be off the hook (so far!) but I also know this will be my last attempt to find the closest thing to a dog to suit me and the kids.
-
The reservation fell through, and I could not pick up the slack because at noon they cut us off. Scooter will possible die any time between now and 5:00. It hurts.
-
((((Hugs for Elmore)))))

TOD:

((((Hugs for Elmore)))))
Thanks! I can only hope the ACC decides to spare him today and relist him for Thursday's euthanasia list.
-
I loved the original Law & Order but got tired of Law & Order SVU. I also liked Bones and Castle, but got tired when I felt they'd run their course.
Now I seem to only watch the British mysteries:
Pie in the Sky
Vera
Midsomer Murders
Inspector Lynley
Grantchester
Broadchurch
The jury is still out on Shetland.

Elmore, didn’t you work with Mimi Bessette? She has a new album of Broadway lullabies out, a sequel to her album of 20 years ago. The library is getting both.

Yes, Mimi is wonderful!
-
DR JOHN G I remember a review of THE LAST MOVIE in Life magazine....it said that there were some slates that said "Scene Missing" and that it would have been more honest if they said "Sense Missing"....
And on that subject, kind of: I still have not found the ad, but at least two more people have said the local paper had printed "Dorothy Collins in APPLESAUCE." and that people did call for tickets to APPLESAUCE. (I think it ws North Shore.)
-
The moral is if it's a star they want to see, you can sell APPLESAUCE.
-
Who knew agents trying to package writers and directors was ever controversial. Now it's being called corrupt in the Hollywood reporter.
How was anyone supposed to know it was a corrupt practice when it was done openly for decades?
-
On the very tiny level, we loved it when our agent brought in one of the choreographers she represented, who had said she liked the project.
She attracted actors we might not have gotten interested in the show when the director was doing his own movement rather than real dancing. (Like that line in "42nd Street," they're paying $4,40 a seat out there and they want to see real hoofing.)
-
Is the idea that writers don't feel OK saying no. But how does something that everyone assumed was part of a business suddenly get called corrupt?
-
Uh oh. I thought getting us to page 3 would get me some absolution for E&T-ness, but I'm getting bleary-eyed from the screen.
-

Yes, Mimi is wonderful!
She came to see a show by Skip years ago that her friend was in a while back. She is such a wonderful upbeat presence who knows how to be upbeat and positive in the lobby where anyone who can help the show is there, but then, if you ask her, will give helpful thoughts for the next time you do the piece. Lots of performers know they should do this (Maury Yeston had the Seven-block rules for shows with friends involved), but she was so good at it that you could tell how supportive she seemed to enjoy being, even meeting her just a few times.
-
Still not getting to page 3 :(
-
Too far away.

Druxy, by any chance, was Thurl Ravenscroft ever a client of yours?
-
Tuesday afternoon greetings! We were up and outta here early to meet my high school friends Chris and Craig for breakfast. They live in Michigan and are making their way to Florida to get warm. Richard and I did a couple of errands on the way home and I just put a chicken in the oven for our dinner. It’s time for a nap.

Scooter has been rescued by Amsterdog. I am very happy.

I haven't heard the name Thurl Ravenscroft in many a year.

Good news DR ELMORE.

DR FJL I must have missed the news story about the "packaging", but nothing much surprises me anymore.

WGA Releases Report on Talent Agency Conflicts of Interest
Much of it feels like Claude Rains being "shocked" that something's going on in Casablanca. Some extremes are abuses, but some of what's being complained about seems business as it's been.
-
I'm up, I'm up. I was up at nine, had a conversation with my gal, who is back now and hopefully at least until everything is done. The new print files are supposedly going to be on their way to the printers tonight. I'd had about six hours of sleep, so when that was all done, I went back to bed and slept until noon-thirty, so nine hours of needed sleep.
-
Once up, I got a little update from my gal, then went and picked up packages, including more bad books, but all the fun stuff I get for each book from Vistaprint: Tote bag, T-shirts, cap, magnets, notepad, etc.
-
Then I had a bacon cheeseburger and side Caesar salad at Jerry's Deli, and now I am home and posting.
-
I made the show order, too, and this evening I'll start writing the commentary.
-
DR Elmore, I am so glad to hear that. If you want to help Scooter, you might consider sponsoring his adoption fee. That might help him get adopted.
-
Miss Annabelle is so darling when she tries to communicate with me. She wants a treat, but i hate to give it to her tonight since i have nothing for Thatch. I was in too much pain this morning to go to Broadway Farms for his deli turkey and he refuses every damned kitty treat in this apartment. Annabelle, however, has doen everything in her repertoire to make me understand she wants her treat. She's pulled the bags of them out of the toy box, she's paced around the place where I treat her, and done everything there except stand on her head. She's adorable!
-

Scooter left the ACC with over $750 in rescue pledges. That rescue has been sponsored. I did send AmsterDog a thank you note for saving him.
-
Thatch is learning English. When I say, are you ready for bed? or wanna lie down with Daddy? he understands. He jumps onto the bed and lies down on his side of it so I can lie next to him and we nap or watch TV.
-

I never heard of sponsoring an adoption fee.

Is it Thatch you said it getting fat. If so offer the same treat you give Annabelle and let him refuse it ;)

It's Leonard who is fat.

We are about to watch the 3rd and last episode of MANHUNT with Martin Clunes. It is based on the true story of London Metropolitan police detective Colin Sutton's efforts to tracks down a serial killer.

Trying to watch stuff but keep falling asleep.

That would be funny if DeVos were such a sad case.

That it is.

I had a spectacular evening, ushering for Carol Burnett.
-
She simply came out in what she called vintage Bob Mackie, a 40-year-old beaded dress, and answered people's questions for about 75 minutes. And she showed about 15 minutes of clips off and on.
-
Her stories, even the ones I had heard before, were wonderful.
-
Let's move on.
-
Four.
-
Page four? Really?
-
She talked about how she met Vicki Lawrence, who had sent her a fan mail with a photo in it. They needed someone to play her younger sister in a sketch that they were planning. Carol called her up. When Vicki heard that Carol Burnett was on the phone, she didn't believe. "Hi, Marsha," she said and was then embarrassed and glad for the call.
-
She talked about how Lucille Ball took her under her wing early on. Lucy later told a story of how "the Cuban" did everything on "I Love Lucy." He created the three-camera taping system. He worked out the scripts. he supervised sets, costumes and lighting. All she had to do was show up on Monday and act funny. After the divorce, she signed up for The Lucy Show. She went in the first week not knowing everything that Desi had done. And the script sucked. So, she realized she would have to take things in hand. She called a meeting, told the writers that the sucked and how to fix it. After that first meeting, Lucy said they added an "s" to her last name.
-
She talked about how Tim Curry, Bernadette Peters and she hated this full-blown production number that was originally shot for Easy Street in Annie, but nobody wanted to hear it. So, they filmed it as they were told. They wrapped production and went their separate ways. Two weeks later, Burnett had a chin job. It was tiny but noticeable. Then they were called back to film the number with just the three of them. They were going to start the scene from where Carol went into the closet looking for Annie's locket. She told John Huston about the chin job and asked him what she should do about it. His answer, she said, was one of the best pieces of direction she ever received: "Just come out looking determined."
-
She also had a few stories about San Antonio, from her love of enchiladas (I thought of you, Vixmom) to how her grandmother's old house had been slated to be torn down. But the city decided to move it instead. And it's now a school for at-risk children. She visited it yesterday and apparently gave them a nice donation.
-
Of course, she showed the Went With the Wind clip, which she said was made classic by the Bob Mackie dress. (It didn't start out looking the way it ended up.) But she also showed From Here to Maternity with Steve Lawrence and Sunnyset Boulevard.
She also showed what I think is one of her favorite scenes that she wasn't in: the dentist sketch with Tim Conway and Harvey Korman.

-
In short, she held the sold-out crowd in the palm of her hand, and most everyone left feeling happy.
-
Page four? Really? Maybe I should go back to newspapers.com.

I started The Last Detail. But I won't be able to finish it tonight.

Gratuitous post No. 100!

January 21, 1959, I Want to Live at the Stadium - I found it very disturbing. I enjoyed the second feature, too, The Big Country.
-
And who knew that before the Pix became the Pix it was, in the 1950s, the New Fox.
-
Good night, all.
-
Rio Bravo at the Wiltern.
-
April 1, 1959 - outstanding double bill at the Stadium, which I clearly remember: Some Came Running and The Hanging Tree.
-
Opening April 20th Philharmonic Auditorium - Judy Holliday in Bells Are Ringing - I want to go!
-
Gidget at the Stadium - oh that Sandra Dee girl!
-
Over at the Biltmore we've got Ruth Roman and Jeffrey Lynn in Two for the Seesaw.
-
Another movie I have a crystal clear memory of seeing at the Stadium - Rally Round the Flag, Boys. Haven't seen it since, and yet I can tell you the ending exactly.
-
At Bullock's, for just $595, you can get the latest TV/stereo console - amazing-looking, with a lustrous black-and-white picture.
-
About to open at the Biltmore: Li'l Abner. Be still my heart. Only Stubby Kaye is billed over the title.
-
May 27, 1959 - I trek over to the Picwood in Westwood to see The Mysterians. There are certain things one simply must do.
-
According to Hedda's daily column, Clifton Webb will star with Pat Boone in Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Summer! Al Capone at the Wiltern.

So, I may cancel my appearance at the afternoon dress rehearsal of I Married An Angel and - even worse - my plans to rescue Scooter from euthanasia if no one else does. At the moment, I want to go back to bed and stay there until the pain goes away.

My iPad is really slow tonight.

Hi, Tom.
-
Today, I went to my parents' house and helped my mom and niece cut mostly dead branches off trees and bushes in the back yard, and then helped move said branches into the front yard.
-
My sister's boyfriend rented a 12-foot Ryder moving van and we filled the thing!
-
Of course, the branches weren't completely cut down to very small pieces, so it was easy and a little awkward.
-
Hi, jan.
-
Hi, George.
-
It reached 79 degrees at Sea-Tac today.
-
We took the van back and then as a thank you, my mom gave us money and coupons to go to Burger King.
-
We didn't mind at all. :)
-
81 degrees at the ocean beaches.
-
We also got a Whopper for my dad.
-
My dad didn't mind, either.
-
We didn't mind at all. :)
I have never had a Whopper.
-
I then came home and have been watching past episodes of Murphy Brown.
-
We didn't mind at all. :)
I have never had a Whopper.
NEVER??
-
Nope, I don’t believe so....

Nope, I don’t believe so....
You should try one. They're pretty good...in my opinion.

I had a breakfast sandwich from there once.
-
Are they like a Big Mac?
-
Are they like a Big Mac?
No. It's a single thin patty, but it has more toppings.

And now, to ketchup on today's posts.
