Well, you've read the notes, you know what the title of the notes means, you know about the bondage of the bandage, and you are ready to post until the cows come home, which will be as soon as they get out of bondage and bandage.
-
And the word of the day is: BALLYHOO!
-
What do you think of them eggrolls, Mr. Goldstone.
-
And a happy birthday to Panni.
-
Has Ann caught up? Will Ann every catch up? Will Ann every ketchup?
BALLYHOO, baby, BALLYHOO!
-
Brnging up Baby has never been my favourite either. Can it be that it is too frenetic and trying too hard? I kinda like THE AWFUL TRUTH with Cary Grant better. Of course, that movie also has my favourite actress of all time, Miss Irene Dunne who was adept at so many things...but particularly the screwball comedy.
-
I certainly find Bringing Up Baby forced - I just shut off after a while. For me, it has none of the sparkling wit of Preston Sturges' films. I do try to love it each time I see it, but as I said, I just never get with it.
-
BALLYHOO!
Well, if no one wants to play, I suppose I shall toddle off to the bedroom environment.
-
I'm trying to be tired. I think I'm tired. I know I'm tired. And yet here I sit like so much fish waiting for Ann to catch up.
-
George must be writing a novella. Or perhaps he's put a bandage on his finger.
-
What am I, doing a monolog?
-
We need a little BALLYHOO!
-
George has been "replying" for ten minutes. One can only scratch their head in wonderment.
-
George has been "replying" for ten minutes. One can only scratch their head in wonderment.
Yup, it's a novel. ::)
-
George is still "replying". I know this is his m.o. but I've forgotten why. I think he hits reply then goes to the bathroom for twenty minutes. Am I remembering correctly? And Ann sits there like so much fish clipping her toenails.
-
After work yesterday (from which I left late), I got me some dinner to go (from Burger King ... hey, BK!) then got home about five minutes after "Joey" had started. I'd seen it before, so I didn't mind. I watched the NBC line-up, including the new "Law and Order" show, which I enjoyed. I've never seen ANY of the "Law and Order" shows, so I had no idea what to expect. But I liked it. I wonder how they'll write his death into the show. [END PART ONE]
-
PART TWO:
Anyway, during all that, I had to print a whole bunch of copies of a flyer for a friend of mine (it's for her daughter's high school's production of The Sound of Music) and the ink in my printer ran out...but still was printing. I hate that my printer can't tell when there is no ink. I have a refill kit that I got at Costco, so I can refill it, but I didn't want to, so I just stopped the print job. Oh well. ::)
-
[PART THREE (and final part)]:
Today (Friday) after work, I'm ushering for "Capitol Steps" that's performing here! I've only seen them once before, but friends of mine have some of their CDs and they're hilarious! So tomorrow, it'll be a late night.
-
I got the "The page cannot be displayed" message and got kicked off! How rude!
-
I have caught up. I just ate a bowl of Rice Krispies while watching The Golden Girls. Another thriling night.
-
Okay, I am going to go to sleep. Good night, BK. And good night, Ann. Sleep well, all!
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PANNI
-
Happy Birthday to DR PANNI!
-
Today at noon EST - you can see Miss Frances Farmer and Mr John Garfield in FLOWING GOLD, one of her best performances. It's a pretty good movie with a fine supporting cast as well. The usual Warner Bros. suspects.
Right now Miss Ingrid Bergman is getting the Gaslight treatment!
-
MEDIA CHECK:
DVD: Angel, Angel Down We Go
CD: Judy Garland disc one of a four disc set
VHS: VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, the movie

The vet check said the pups were negative for Parvo and their form of mange (http://www.fila.org/peak/mange.htm) is genetic and not contagious (For the purists amongst us they have Demodectic not Sarcoptic mange).
[note to BK - no, I am not writing a novel, I was interrupted by the morning deer parade, they paused next door to have some breakfast).]
Now, as I was saying, the pups are not contagious (with the exception of the kennel cough). The vet said it was best to keep the new dogs "isolated" until their cough went away. Since the disease is airborne, that means moving the dogs to Tahiti to recuperate in an outdoor pen, or build them their separate heated home here. (The vet's advice to the SPCA was for them to keep a lot of windows open to insure good air circulation - nice in the summer, but a difficult measure when the outside temperature stays below freezing for days at a time. Our house is new and very well built - translation: to minimize heating costs the house is virtually hermetically sealed - the doggie door being the only exception - so whatever germs flit about the basement shall soon flit about upstairs.
Since the pups really need to be "socialized", and our tribe is aquiver with curiosity, and I'm tired of putting on a down-jacket to take my crossword puzzles downstairs to sit with the pups, we decided to introduce a pup at a time to the upstairs tribe and hope we could keep the chaos to a minimum.
Visual BALLYHOO for "The Pups Meet the Barkers" to follow.

How are you feeling Larry?
DRMichael Shayne, I honestly believe on Monday, when I see the surgeon, he will tell me the surgery needs to be redone and we will choose a date. Hopefully, it will be the week after Penny's show, since nothing is screwing up that weekend for me! I want to get it over and know that it's finally healing.
How are all of your pain and health problems coming along?
I'm about to leave for B&N, and I hope it's a good day. I really would rather stay in bed, but I've felt that at some point about every job I've had!

Thank you for asking. The Chiro has been helping. I am seeing him today and this is the first time that there has been two weeks inbetween visits. I plan to do a lot of walking in NYC so I hop my leg holds up.

Good Morning!
Happy Birthday, Panni!
DR DERBREUCER and SWW - Thanks again for the pup pics and tails - I mean tales.
DR elmore - Good Health Vibes!
DR ANN - Hope you have a better day today too.
OK... I need to hop in the shower - on one foot! - and then head downstairs to the audition room. -I sort of lazed in bed this morning a little longer than I should have, but I just had my breakfast... But I start my briefing in 30 minutes, so...

A Question to Ponder:
CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/03/03/schuster.column/index.html) CNN has just reported:
Investigators still don't know who is responsible for the murder of a Chicago judge's husband and mother on Monday, but white supremacist Web sites are applauding the killings.
…
Extremists on the Internet "are expressing satisfaction that they have been killed
….
A posting on an Aryan Nations message board reads: "If you are doing the bidding of the enemy YOU ARE THE ENEMY!"
…
Another posting on an extremist message board says: "Well, I for one hope this was the work of some 'lone wolf' targeting those who aid or support or have connections with someone involved in acting against our race, or someone who has acted against those -- like Matt Hale -- who have stood up for our race."
The message concludes, "Let's hope it's only the beginning."
Now it seems to me that by reporting the internet traffic CNN is just compounding the problem - now the hater's have a world-wide audience!
We should not be ballyhooing (if you'll pardon the expression) hate speech.

-
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one not enamored of Bringing Up Baby. It's one of those classics that everyone assumes everyone else likes, but it just seems, as BK said, forced. Oh, well, them's the horse races.
Not listening to anything right now. I have two meetings, one at 10 and the next one at 11. The 10am meeting will probably blend into the 11am meeting since they are related. I needs must get ready for this meeting overload.
This is not The Last Night of Ballyhoo but just an early morning foray into blogging.

Happy Birthday Panni!

Oops! Thanks, Ben - I fixed my typo! Guess my mind is getting ready for two weeks from today when I will, by this time, be on the road to Cleveland to catch my plane to NYC!
-
I shall also come out of the closet as one who did not care much for BRINGING UP BABY....even as a kid the movie did nothing for me....of course it has been years since I have seen it, so maybe I should give it another try some day.
-
I have been watching (Again) a tape the MBARNUM sent me many years ago.
LIFE BEGINS AT 17 is one of those Sam Katzman/Clover Productions for Columbia from the 1950's. This one has a couple of performances by two of my favorite "Teens" Mr Mark Damon and Miss Luana Anders, a very interesting production.
BRINGING UP BABY is okay - and I enjoy it, but it certainly does pale next to THE PALM BEACH STORY and others.
-
I don't need to put a bandage on my finger to make typos. I do JUST FINE in that department without any help from bandages.
-
From what I read on the internet yesterday, Lennie Briscoe's death is going to mentioned on an upcoming episode as the lawyers and detectives mention that they've just come from his memorial service.
-
Well, I find myself on the other side of the fence as one who absolutely adores BRINGING UP BABY. But you can't debate comedy with anyone. Everyone has a different funny bone and what tickles one doesn't tickle the other.
I have never been a big fan of THE AWFUL TRUTH. It's just OK for me and not a classic comedy. Again, I know I'M in the minority on that one, but that's OK, too.
-
Friday Media Check:
CD - HOW THE WEST WAS WON (soundtrack)
DVD - MY SISTER EILEEN (musical version)
CSI: MIAMI - Season 1 - disc 6.

I'll be watching some of the special features on the BAMBI DVD set, too, especially the restoration documentary.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PANNI!! :D

DRLaura it is beginning to look like a church nice-how exciting.
Jose it was probably a good idea you purchased the jeans before eating.
Ann I hope you don’t have the flu today & are feeling better today.
Bruce why do you continue to watch a movie you don’t enjoy? I personally like the movie very much, but can’t imagine watching it if it didn’t make me laugh.
-
'morning, Jane - Last night I went to Mary Doria Russell's reading and signing for A Thread of Grace at one of our local bookstores. She was, as usual, very entertaining. She announced that her next novel is titled Dreamers of the Day and will be about the 1921(?) peace conference that drew the map of the modern Middle East. Lawrence of Arabia, Winston Churchill, and Gertrude Bell will all be characters in the book.
-
Hi Ginny,
First I have to pick up her current book. I will add that to my list of things to do today. Did you begin reading it yet?
-
I picked up the phone, the one next to my laptop, and made a call. Surprise, surprise, I was disconnected from the internet. At least I now know why that happened. ;D
Bruce we have phones all over our house. Did you buy the one phone or get an extension with it?
-
I just bought the one phone, but you can add up to four or five extra units.
-
BALLYHOO!
I'm going to take the bandage off in about fifteen minutes.
-
Bruce, I hope you get to see Joanie Sommers at the show.
TOD:
CD player: The monlogues of Ruth Draper. I haven't listened to them for a couple of years. They are so brilliant. SHE is so brilliant.
Cassette (Yes, Virginia, I still listen to cassettes): A tape of some of my 45's. Great stuff.
-
Happy Birthday PANNI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
JRand54, I hope you are feeling better today!
I will be off of work in 20 minutes! Ballyhoo!!!!
-
If Joanie is there I shall see her.
-
Bruce when you add the phones do you know if you can talk on them at the same time. About a year ago we picked up the same system and had to return it as we couldn’t use two phones at the same time. We found out the hard way while trying to talk to Bryan.
DerBrucer the dog pictures are darling!!
-
Ah, there, I've taken off the bandage and now I can type again.
-
good morning all (it's 4.15am here .. just cannot sleep!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PANNI! (hip hip hooray)

Happy Birthday to Panni.
DR Jose: I am glad I could help you smile your way through some of those interminable auditions.
Have given up on AccuRadio.com at the office, and returned to AOLRadio. Been listening to radio in the car, too. Not sure what's in the ol' VCR at home. I am thinking it might be "Wickedly Perfect" from last Saturday, or maybe Tuesday's "Amazing Race."
-
Bambi is in my DVD player.
Hasn't that poor deer (dear?) suffered enough? First his mother dies, and now he's trapped in a DVD player. ::)
I've never much liked Bringing Up Baby either. I can't tell you where I read it, but years ago at Powell's bookstore here in Portland I found some critical tome on Hawks which proclaimed Come and Get It his best screwball comedy. I know that seems counter-intuitive (to say the least), but the guy (I think it was a guy) made some very good points, especially about the barroom scene where FF makes her entrance.
Happy Birthday, Panni. Come back, little Sheba. ;)
-
In the mail yesterday: The Comedy Classics boxed set.
AUGHGHGHGHGH! I'm inundated with stuff I am beginning to believe I'll never be able to fully enjoy.
Baby needs a change in his life!
And surprise! Surprise!
Can I possibly have won the title card to "There's No Business Like Show Business" in an eBay auction for under $100? Last few times this card has been offered -- and in lesser condition than the card I won -- it went for more than $200.
Much ballyhoo from me over it!
I'm going to play devil's advocate on the "Bringing Up Baby" issue. I enjoy it -- and DR Jane, I suspect BK does, too, at some level -- because of its pacing and the antics of its costars. But...it is a bit too frenetic. I've always taken it as a put-on...Hepburn's forced laughs...Grant's unbelievable naivete (no man who ever looked that good was ever that naive).
It's the sheer absurdity of the situation -- the spoiled girl with the pet "Baby" that takes a rare dinosaur bone and buries it. The supporting cast is wonderful, too.
I enjoy watching the film, but when it's over, I'm exhausted.
-
I listen to Accuradio off and on but mostly off. I have such trouble with it and I have a high speed office connection. I have no trouble with any of the other Internet radio stations, just Accuradio. Oh, well. I have plenty to listen to at work so I can't complain.
-
BALLYHOO!
HOKUM!
-
Yes, I said that the cast of player in Bringing Up Baby is exemplary. And I do find some of it amusing. But the endless falling down of Grant and Hepburn is tiresome and the plotting just makes me antsy, and the dialogue, while fun at times, is not just funny enough. But, that's just me.
Speaking of me, it's now pouring.

Last night, our esteemed BK wrote:
Maybe I'll just put the notes up at three in the morning.

Well, from the evidence at hand, it's BK, George, Ann and our friends in Oz who are affected by whether BK posts at midnight PST, or 3 a.m. PST.
I know I'm in bed whenever it's done.

In other words, no one gives a flying Wallenda WHEN the notes go up. Harumphhh.
BALLYHOO!
It's so much easier to type when one doesn't have a bandage on their finger.

And why has no one even mentioned the wonderful team of Croad and Mingoo?
It poured for about three minutes. Now the sun looks like it's coming out.
-
My little get-together with Mr. Grant Geissman has once again been pushed, this time to Sunday. But Sunday is written in stone. I know this, because I have a stone and it says "Sunday".
-
Ladies and germs, please give it up for Croad and Mingoo!
When did "please put your hands together" get changed to "please give it up for"?
-
I like it when the notes go up at midnight PST - which means I can read them while waiting for WHAT'S MY LINE to come on GSN if I am up!
Feeling better, thanks MB. Enjoy your day!
Nothing in the mail today. That is depressing. I paid for something nearly 15 days ago, and an email last week to the seller told me she would "try" to ship it soon. What is it? Would she wait for my money? I doubt it. GRRRRRRRR

Donna Stone?

I think, if they had been given the chance, Craod and Mingo would have been as big as Nichols and May.
-
In other words, no one gives a flying Wallenda WHEN the notes go up. Harumphhh.
The only person here who should give a flying Wallenda or any other part of the Ringling circle is you, BK. Personally, I'm just very glad that you share them with us every day, and since we're a world-wide circus here time is irrelevant.
-
And why has no one even mentioned the wonderful team of Croad and Mingoo?
As I understand it, Croad and Mingoo's real problem came from their comedy (which was quite verbal) having originally been written in a Neanderthal dialect. Needless to say, it lost quite a bit in translation.
All the same, they were very popular with the cognoscente in the "club" circuit.

In other words, no one gives a flying Wallenda WHEN the notes go up. Harumphhh.

For all those who were interested, I did go on to the site and get Miss Leslie Parrish's address, at least as they had it listed. MBarnum is going to write her and request an interview. If he's successful, she will then get my book.
It was very difficult going on that site. I couldn't fill in any of my credit card info via AOL because AOL kept freezing. I then tried Safari, but kept getting "this is not a secure page" sign - so I wouldn't submit from there. I did see they use Verisign, which is what most e-tailers use for secure transactions, so I knew it had to be secure. I finally tried using IE and that worked. I got the "secure" pop up and all was well. I still have quite a few hours left to search for addresses, if anyone wants to find anyone (I chose the unlimited 24 hour searches.

As I was saying....
Thank you for the lovely birthday greetings one and all! They are much appreciated and cherished.
BTW - I'm typing this on my sparkling new PowerBook G4! Can you tell?
-
Well - Miss Allison Hayes just declared in an episode of "RIPCORD" that she was a pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force and had done over 50 parachute jumps as a Para-Nurse.
-
I've only written one page thus far, but it was a REALLY important page. I also added about a page's worth of material to what I'd written yesterday. I now must ponder the new section I'm in, and then I shall write like the wind.
-
DR PANNI - I thought something looked different?

BALLYHOO!

Congratulations on taking the plunge - so to speak - and getting the ball rolling on Miss Leslie Parrish!

DRSWW I don't think it was so much in the translation of Craod and Mingo's jokes as it was in the timing...although you may have something there.

Der Brucer came loudly into my room, declaring "We have to take the dogs for a walk!"
What he meant was that we were taking Peggy and the pups for several trips up and down the street, while taking our regular pack in shifts.
The first shift included Peggy, Benedick and Baxter, all leashed to der Brucer, and Bonnie and Buster, leashed to me. Peggy was quite interested in Bonnie and Buster, sniffing and doing play-pounces, and Bonnie and Buster were somewhat interested in her. By the end of the first shift, however, it was clear that the little pups were tuckered, so the game plan shifted.
Bax and Benny went back to the basement, and I traded BonBon and BusBus for Fletcher. Yes, Fletcher was interested in Peggy, but what he really wanted to do was run.
By the time we got to the third round, with Marty and Mikey, Peggy was looking at us like "What is this, speed dating?" She and the boys hardly paid any attention to each other at all.
Everyone got back home, safe and sound. Then it was time for lunch.
I'd already cooked up a big pot of rice and a chicken breast, under the vet's suggestion as food the pups would like. Of course, where he had suggested "boiling" the chicken breast, I of course poached the breast and then used the poaching liquid as the rice-cooking medium.
Today I chopped up half of the breast very fine, mixed it in with some of the rice, and took it down to see if the pups would like it. Benedick was easy to find, and got the first half of the dish to sample. He liked it! Munch munch munch, tail wagging. Then I hunted down Baxter, the pup we've been worried about for poor eating habits. To my relief, Baxter also liked it! More munching, more tail wagging.
Peggy was disappointed that I hadn't made any for her, of course.
I've got more chicken breasts thawing; good thing we buy in bulk.
Still, it's a surprising turn of events. Here I've got this big, fancy kitchen, and I'm cooking for dogs!
At least they appreciated their meal better than der Brucer liked his last night. :-\ ::)

DR Stuart - DC Abie Wussburger is fine and sends his regards to DC Morgan.
I've just received a basket of chocolate chip cookies from my producers (I've finished two scripts while I've been away.)
Another big package just arrived -- but it was dog food I'd ordered, not some snazzy present. Oh well.
Thanks again for the b-day greetings!
-
Hello, Panni! Missed you very much!
Would you and Abie like a puppy? ;D
-
Hi Panni,
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :D :D :D
-
SWW-so glad the pups are enjoying their food and eating well. I kept laughing while reading your dog walking adventures.
-
Welcome six GUESTS. We're talkin' about Croad and Mingoo, what's in our various and sundried media players, and BALLYHOO!
-
DR SWW - did you get lots of kisses from your diners?
-
Actually, looking at the notes and the topic title - I've been misspelling poor Craods name as Croad. I misspelled it in the notes title, too and will now go fix that. My apologies to Craod. No apologies are necessary for the likes of Mingoo.
-
Mingoo drives a Studebaker.
-
I know what you mean, DR JRand. I didn't get ANY mail today. Can't remember the last time that happened! DE-PRESSING!
-
MR BK please tell Miss Joanie Sommers that her vocal version of A SUMMER PLACE is the bEST EVER!
-
Ain't it the truth DRMATTH?
-
YIKES! The guestbook on our theatre site has been HACKED and there is a photo of an Iranian guerrilla with a gun there.
Never happened before....I am not sure what to do!
-
Oh, it's so nice to see DR Panni back where she belongs! (a Jerry Herman reference).
Happy Birthday!!
-
MY SISTER EILEEN seemed just a little dark in its transfer. Looked great in anamorphic widescreen and the sound was excellent, but it just seemed a touch dark.
-
Enjoyed the BAMBI documentaries. The Making of documentary on disc 2 was a port over from the laserdisc version, but it was still great to have it on DVD.
-
Tonight is the season finale of MONK along with the second episode of LAW & ORDER: TRIAL BY JURY.
I may get to see one of them live or both may have to be recorded if we have a movie night at my friend John's house tonight.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PANNI!
Great to see you back!
-
I just read GREAT news on the internet:
HOUSE, one of my favorite new shows of the TV season, has been officially renewed for a second season by Fox.
-
LAW & ORDER: TRIAL BY JURY easily won its time slot last night as well scoring above what new episodes of ER have averaged in that slot this season. Of course, it was facing a WITHOUT A TRACE rerun for its premiere episode.
Tonight it moves to its regular Friday at 10 p.m. slot, and CBS is throwing a CSI rerun on opposite it to blunt its chances of scoring well in the new time period.
-
Jrand, I shall indeed pass on your comment to Joanie.
-
Despite all the so-called "major network" ploys tonight, I shall be tuned in to the Sci-Fi Channel for the Friday block -- Stargate: SG1, Stargate: Atlantis, and Babylon 5.
-
And, DR JRand, I shall pass something, too....gas, though it may be.

BG (Birthday Girl) Panni - It was so nice to see you here earlier. Congratulations on the new PowerBook!
DR Jane - Yes, I'm reading A Thread of Grace. I'm still in the early pages, where all the character groups are being introduced and I assume their stories are going to converge pretty soon.
-
Tom, haven't you been away for a while? Or am I just senile?
-
Here I thought I'd only written one or two pages - but, in fact, I've written six. So, I can stop or, if I feel like it later in the afternoon, I can do another page or two.
I also had no packages or mail today. Maybe it's a conspiracy. Certainly it isn't BALLYHOO!
-
...Grant's unbelievable naivete (no man who ever looked that good was ever that naive).
Hey, he convinced the audience he was straight - why not naive?

Despite all the so-called "major network" ploys tonight, I shall be tuned in to the Sci-Fi Channel for the Friday block -- Stargate: SG1, Stargate: Atlantis, and Babylon 5.
Our cable service runs the Sci-Fi stuff twice, as well as Monk twice - so we can do the network stuf first, SCC-FI second.

Ginny please let me know if what you think of the book. Did you finish The Kite Runner?
-
I kept laughing while reading your dog walking adventures.
If you really want a laugh, you have to see it in person.
You know how when you were young (or at least when I was young) all the lads and lasses grabbed a hold of a color streamer tied to the top of a large pole and danced about weaving the intricate maypole design to celebrate Persephone's return (all to the tune of "In a British Country Garden")? Well, think of Woody with five different colored leashes on different dogs all intent on weaving a pattern - if we didn't have different colors, poor Woody would still be in the road attempting disentanglement.
der Brucer
To tell the truth - I didn't know the name of the tune, I just la-dee-dahed a few measures and Woody named it.
-
Ah BALLYHOO
My favorite song from South Pacific
-
;D You must be talking about May Day.
I have walked up to three dogs at once and that was enough. When you walk more than one Husky at a time it can be very scary. One alone can take you wherever they want to go. I became very adept at sitting down quickly.
-
And let's not forget this Ballyhoo!
-
Tom, haven't you been away for a while? Or am I just senile?
Possibly both.
I have been away visiting friends and relatives near the Victorian/South Australian border.
We did get the news of the Oscars though!

Ballyhoo may call you,
Any night, any day,
In your heart, you'll hear it call you:
"Come away...Come away."
Ballyhoo will whisper
In the wind of the sea:
"Here am I, your special island!
Come to me, come to me!"

Possibly both.

What is this line from:

It's part of a line, or a lyric. It's been going round and round in my head all day and I cannot pinpoint what it's from. I want to say it's from a song....but...

DR Ron Pulliam - I think it's from the song "What's the Use of Wondering" from Carousel.

.What's the Use of Wond'rin'?
Girls
Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
There's nothin' so bad for a woman
As a man who's bad or good!
Julie
What's the use of wond'rin',
If he's good or if he's bad?
Or if he likes the way he wears his hat?
But what's the use of wond'rin',
If he's good or if he's bad?
He's your fellow and you'll love him
That's all there is to say...
Woman sense may tell you
That the ending will be sad
And now is the time to break and run away
But what's the use of wond'rin'
If the endin' will be sad?
He's your fella and you'll love him
There is nothin' more to say...
Something made him the way that he is,
Whether he's false or true,
And something gave him
The things that are his
And one of those things is you...
So, when he wants your kisses
You will give them to the lad
And anywhere he leads you,
You will walk...
And anytime he needs you,
You go runnin' there like mad,
You're his girl and he's your fellow,
And all the rest is talk...

In my CD player at work: Barry Manilow's "2NIGHTS LIVE!" I am really enjoying this CD. I don't have a lot of Barry Manilow recordings, but I like what I do have. ;D After that will be the Dutch cast recording of Stephen Sondheim's Passion. I've listened to this already and it's really good...well, I like it and I like the show.
In my VCR: a tape to tape tonight's "Battlestar Galactica." I didn't realize that "Star Trek: Enterprise" isn't on tonight until just now.
And DRs Matthew and JRand, check your mailboxes early next week!! Thank you both!

Is it siesta time?
What we need is some old-fashioned BALLYHOO, that's what we need.

Chop suey, chop suey,
Mixed with all the hokum and ballyhooey.

Welcome six GUESTS. Come on in, and bring some BALLYHOOEY with you.

I have finished writing for the day. Shortly I shall take a nice long hot shower. Or should that be, longly I shall take a nice short hot shower?
-
And really, let's not give short or even long shrift to Craod and Mingoo.
But, if we can't give shrift to Craod and Mingoo, then who CAN we give it to?
-
I'm off now to usher for a performance by "Capitol Steps," here in Olympia. Be back very late! ;D
-
I'm a majority of one?
BALLYHOOEY on YOUEY.
-
Once again, ladies and germs, more than an hour goes by without a post. Craod and Mingoo have cancelled their engagement here at haineshisway.com.
My finger feels almost completely better.
Won't somebody join me in a dance? Say, MAMBO or a FRUG?

Oh, I see. Only twenty minutes have gone by. You see, this is what happens when you are senile.

Here is a bit of Craod and Mingoo's act:
Craod: Last night I dreamt I ate a marshmallow and when I woke up, my pillow was gone.
Mingoo: These foreign cars today are so small that I stuck out my hand to make a left turn and two of them ran up my sleeve.
Craod: These jokes are as old as the hills.
Mingoo: That's what I'M talkin' about.
Craod: Oh, now you're trying to be hip?
Mingoo: Whaddup, dawg?
Craod: You're about as hip as a ten-dollar hooker eating a snow cone.
Mingoo: You're about as hip as a ten-dollar weaver eating a snow cone.
Craod: Knock, knock.
Mingoo: Come in.
Craod: Not come in, you stupid idiot. Who's there?
Mingoo: Who's where?
Craod: Knock knock.
Mingoo: Come in.
Craod: Locksmith.
Mingoo: Mechanic.
Craod: Locksmith who? Lox mith bagels.
Mingoo: And when I woke up my pillow was gone.

They're marvelous, aren't they?

Jane and Ginny went away. Not very sporting and cause for a bitch-slapping or three.
-
Bruce usually you are the one who leaves when I’m talking to you. ;D
-
I’m leaving again. I have been watching ice skating I have had saved on TIVO for way too long now.
-
Ann I do hate to leave without knowing if you are feeling better. I will come back later and check on you.
-
I'm checking but Ann is gone. I do hope you are feeling better.
Goodnight.

Everybody is gone! ???

I guess I will go back to my DVD...SPEED TO SPARE (1948) starring Richard Arlen, Jean Rogers, and Richard Travis...fun movie...Gosh bless that Alpha Video...they released such wonderful obscure old films!!

Another compelling episode of TRIAL BY JURY tonight. I'm really going to enjoy this series. Its feel is totally different from the other LAW & ORDER shows.
In the next to last scene tonight, Jerry Orbach was whispering his lines because his voice was too weak to speak up in the scene. Everyone else in the scene was also told to whisper during filming so it wouldn't seem so odd that he was the only one whispering. That knowledge gave a very eerie tone to that moment in the show.
-
Finished watching Jerry Orbach's final acting performance. Towards the end of the show you could hear he wasn't well. I was sort hoping some final tribute to him. He will be missed.
-
Yes, DR MBarnum, I think IT'S A GIFT is one of the greats and one of my all-time favorite W.C. Fields films.
-
Three more episodes of CSI: MIAMI to go, and I will be finished with that boxed set. Haven't decided what movie I'll pick out to watch tomorrow. Maybe NEW YORK, NEW YORK.
-
I also like the show but had a hard time with the defense's portion of the show on how they try to manipulate the system even though the client is guilty. I wanted the government to win.
However I hope that in future shows they might spend more than 5 minutes in the jury room. Turning a lone not guilty vote to guilty took about a minute. Otherwise I think that the show will succeed.

Well I am going to have Voom HD installed tomorrow. I am taking it for 6 months. We will see if this HD is better than Adelphia.
I will also be doing some touch ups to act two of the play. I have a deadline of next week to submit the play for consideration for a theater here in Florida. This will come before the reading in April. If chosen it will be done in the theater's 2005-2006 season.
One of the requirments is that they play has to be unproduced. So I have to find out if a reading as a fundraiser is considered a production.

Fox had a show on last year called THE JURY that spent the majority of the hour in the jury room, and it was a dismal failure. Obviously, audiences want to see more of the machinations behind the two sides rather than jury deliberations. I had no problem watching the defense side and their scheming to get the client off. Obviously, sometimes they are going to win. No LAW & ORDER show has ever had the prosecution winning 100% of the time.
-
Let us know what you think of the VOOM service, DR Michael.
-
I'm wondering if Dick Wolf is going to give Kirk Acevedo a permanent detective partner now that Jerry Orbach is no longer a part of the show. I haven't read anything about a new partner for him.
-
Early to wuss.

And I like that. Even when the person is guilty. I forgot about that show. Even though I never saw I think people saw it more as an anthology. Different characters ever week. I think I still would like to see a little more jury action and perhaps a little more or the grand jury moments. I never knew that they could ask questions. I find that fascinating. More of that!

Orbach is replaced in the third episode (March 11) by Scott Cohen, with no plot explanation. Episode four will deal with Brisco's death.
"We're actually handling Jerry's death and the death of the character in very much the same way," said Walon Green, executive producer of Trial by Jury.
"We will reference the character's death in a scene that talks about a memorial ceremony," Green said during a conference call with TV critics. "Jerry - and in this case Brisco - was somebody who kept on the job and worked 'till, you know, the final hour."
This came from the Rocky Mountain NEws
Green said the script will stick with reality. Brisco won't be killed by a gunshot or involved in an accident.

Tonight the Vixter, her friend Emily & I went tot eh local high school production of "Seussical the Musical" while the songs and the book did not overwhelm me some of the kids really did.
There was character of a General there, from the (Butter Battle Book) and he spoke and sand in a deep bass voice, I thought it was a teacher they had fillingin but it was a 15 year old boy, and could he sing!!!
There were several really talented performers, quite impressive.
The girls had a lovely time and the show was well received, and I still got home in tiome to see "Law & Order" with Mr. Jerry Orbach's last performance. The scene outside the courtroom with everyone whispering was quite touching.
My dad was enpaneled on a grand jury last year. He said they could all ask as many questions as they wanted to .
-
BALLYHOO!
-

Easy for him to say - now that he has brought chaos to our once humble abode.
Now I admit, I've made a mistake ot two in my life - like not firmly closing the front door- but never, ever, did I go downstairs and leave that door open.
We rapidly had curious upstairs dogs going downstairs, and more curious downstairs dogs going upstairs, followed by the upstairs dogs that went downstairs going back upstairs to see what the downstairs dogs were doing upstairs - think the Ark stirred with a spoon!
Peggy did a thorough inspection of each and every room, Benny and Baxter explored each nook and cranny, and the upstairs tribe broke into tag teams trying to keep track of the goings-on. The downstairs dogs did a pretty good imitation of Goldilocks- trying out every chair for optimum comfort.
Just as things quieted down, Benny did the unpardonable - he pooped on the living room rug. This heinous crime egregious breach of decorum could not be allowed to pass unnoticed, so a fethced a paper towel, scooped up the poop, scooped up Benny, and headed for the back door. I pushed Benny thrrough the doggie door, then opened the door and followed him out side; we deposited the poopy towel on the ground, gave the requsite "do it here, dammit" speech, then pushed his head back through the doggie door. There was poor Benny, head in the kitchen and rear legs flailing in mid-air in the back yard - one good push and House Breaking Lesson #1 was over.
Soon after everyone had sort of settled down it was dinner time - so, I scooped up the puppies and headed downstairs with Peggy close behind. And there they stayed. And the door was shut. And dinner was enjoyed to a seranade of rejected howls from below :(
Oh well, I guess a little socialization is good for the soul.

Birthday report: Finished my script and e-mailed it to NY. Got some lovely presents. And TWO gorgeous floral arrangements (not to mention the basket of chocolate chip cookies). Had a very nice birthday dinner at my landlord's Italian restaurant (he contributed a bottle of wine). All in all -- A grand day.
Thanks again for the wonderful birthday greetings one and all! It was good to be here today.
-
Good Evening!
Day 2 of auditions... Not too bad a day. Good pacing for the most part, and good talent. Not great, but good. I also ran into a bunch of people I hadn't seen in a while while walking around the hotel. And I even managed to get a nice run in on the treadmill after playing for about 275 people today. Whew!
-Oh, and I just had a pretty good Almond "Horseshoe" cookie and a generous scoop of Haagen-Daaz Chocolate Ice Cream from the Dessertery downstairs. -And I got my Waffle House fix in earlier too - Love those hash browns!
I would have hung out downstairs for awhile with "everyone", but the way bar area is laid out, it's VERY smoky downstairs - and one of the four(!) bars off the common area allows cigars too, so... Just way too much smoke. And the hotel has seemed to suspend the No Smoking rules in certain areas of the hotel during this convention. Ah, well... I can usually deal with cigarette smoke, but when there's about 200 people in one area, and the air doesn't circulate all the well...
Just one more day tomorrow of auditions. And then the rest of my "adventure" begins. I'm actually thinking I may head home tomorrow night after I'm done with callbacks, just so that I can sleep in my own bed tomorrow night, and have a few extra hours on Sunday before I have to head up to Fairfax Sunday night. ...And then to New York on Monday... We'll see...

DR Panni - Once again, Happy Birthday! Good to see your bright shining face - or at least your avatar - gracing these pages again.

DR Jane - As for the jeans... I actually haven't tried them on yet. I just bought two pairs in the size that I know fits. Hopefully. I'm hoping that over the next few weeks, I'll be able to trim down a little more. I'm still making progress, but I'd like to make some more.
Of course, with Serendipity, Papa Beard's Cream Puffs, Cones, John's Pizza, Gray's Papaya, The Cupcake Cafe, etc., in NYC.... And then the BBQ in Memphis...
We shall see...

OK.. I need to get ready for bed. I didn't roll out of bed until around 8:10 this morning, and I was scrambling to get down to the actor's briefing on time (9:00).
See you in the morning.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PANNI!

Watched last Wednesday's Alias. Fair. Trying to get motivated to watch a movie, but am having a hard time. Perhaps if I find a film with BALLYHOO.

I've never watched any of the "Law and Order" shows, and tonight's episode just started (as I just got home). I wrote in an earlier post that I liked last night's show. I probably will watch this show on a regular basis. I do like Bebe Neuwirth.
-
I am so STOKED! I just looked at an updated list for the celeb show tomorrow and Samantha Eggar will be there. I LOVE Samantha Eggar. I must say, this show is shaping up to be much better than the one I went to a couple of weeks ago. Another interesting person who'll be there is Donna Baccala. Donna did a lot of TV in the early seventies, and she also starred in my very first musical, Start at the Top with her then boyfriend Michael Burns. I haven't seen here since then (circa 1972) so I have no idea if she'd remember or not. But SAMANTHA EGGAR.
Pogue sends his wishes - he's been having DSL problems all day and night. He was on once, tried to post, and it went down again. He'll be out of town at a wedding, but will be back at the beginning of the week and hopefully DSL problems will be fixed.
