Listening to a wonderfull CD of concertos for two pianos and orchestra.  A couple of composers included that I didn't know that I now want to learn more about.  I love the sound of two pianos.

CAKE!!!

Cake sounds great, even now at 1:13 a.m.!  However for my birthday today, I asked my mom to make Chocolate Lush (http://yummiestfood.com/chocolate-lush-recipe/).  It's probably my favorite dessert.  It's definitely in my top five. ;D

Had a great closing night last night. It was a late one, what with joining the crew at the local (and very fine) sushi bar and watering hole (emphasis on the latter) afterwards.

But it was a good run.

And now on to ... Disaster!

Off to the first day of auditions.

The director called me and asked if I could print out 20 Audition Sheets - since he didn't have time.....I said yes.

I almost told him there was no place on the Form to put in an address, telephone number, or email address.....but I refrained.

I added mine.

Sunday afternoon greetings!  It’s been a busy, but fun, weekend here.  Friday evening we were in Oxford for a concert by the Miami University Men’s Glee Club.  Yesterday we went to GeoFair in Cincinnati, a big showcase where our geology friends from Miami were exhibiting and answering questions about careers in the field.  Today I accompanied Fr. Richard to church in Dayton, we went to lunch, and then to the 50th anniversary concert by the Southwest Ohio Symphonic Band.

Some interesting people at auditions.  I read for three different parts, only one of them I probably would not be considered for.

A young woman in her twenties - when the director asked if there is anything anyone wanted to read for that they hadn't done yet....piped up and said she wanted to read for the cemetery plot salesperson.

She said she thought it would be interesting if the part was played by somebody who wasn't so OLD and out of  it....but was young and vital.....

I said: "Thanks."  And it didn't make her bat an eyelash...her reading was much the same as her reading for the Call Girl in the dream sequence.....

Doing a bit of googling it doesn't seem to be standard here.  I can't remember who paid ours.  I think it was the seller, or they at least paid a portion of it.

Watching a dreadful movie called The Actress with Spencer Tracy, Jean Simmons and Teresa Wright. Screenplay by Ruth Gordon based on a play of hers. Directed by George Cukor. And it's hokey beyond belief. I skipped to the last 20 minutes and even that's going to be a long time.

Watching the start of The Gospel of Eureka, a documentary about Eureka Springs, Ark., where the people manage to host a passion play and deal with homosexuality in their community, mostly, in a very warm, loving way.

I can't speak for Washington, but it's customary in both California and Virginia for sellers to pay closing costs. Did the seller's agent not inform him? That should have been discussed when pricing the condo.

Doing a bit of googling it doesn't seem to be standard here.  I can't remember who paid ours.  I think it was the seller, or they at least paid a portion of it.

I think that here in Washington the buyer usually pays, but when I bought my condo, I asked for the seller to pay and she did.

We are watching Wizard of Oz, because we can't believe that Wae-Ling has never seen it.

What does she think of it?

We felt she needed to see it before seeing Wicked.

Some interesting people at auditions.  I read for three different parts, only one of them I probably would not be considered for.

A young woman in her twenties - when the director asked if there is anything anyone wanted to read for that they hadn't done yet....piped up and said she wanted to read for the cemetery plot salesperson.

She said she thought it would be interesting if the part was played by somebody who wasn't so OLD and out of  it....but was young and vital.....

I said: "Thanks."  And it didn't make her bat an eyelash...her reading was much the same as her reading for the Call Girl in the dream sequence.....

Did you raise your hand and say you'd like to read for the Call Girl part because you thought it would be interesting to have  it played by someone who is worldly and has expertise and experience rather than someone young, fumbling and ignorant?


BRAVO, VIXMOM!  I wish I was fast enough to think of that.

Well, the tacos were quite delish, as was the Chocolate Lush.  Here's a picture before it was eaten:

In Washington State the buyer normally pays the closing costs and the seller pays the commission; but it is all negotiable.

Back from a pretty amazing Kritzerland 98, about which more in the notes.  I had food after, and just got home thirty minutes ago, so notes will go up a little late.

I read that “Does anyone here GOT a fan”. I thought it was a little early in the season to be overheated.
