"Join us in a postprandial POTATION."

It doesn't get better than that.

Post by: Charles Pogue on April 26, 2005, 12:31:46 AM: I quite like THE BRAVADOS. As I remember, it also has a nice score. I keep meaning to see WARLOCK and always miss it when it plays the Westerns channel. The relationship between Quinn and Fonda is supposed to hint of latent homosexuality.

Title: Re:NO NODES IS GOOD NODES
Post by: Jrand74 on April 26, 2005, 01:21:50 AM: THE BRAVADOS is one of those movies I saw many years ago at the drive-in and loved. I thought it was pretty scary - and Gregory Peck was determined that those men would not escape justice. I remember it (and the music) being very tense - and I think I would like to see it again. Of the others - I have recently seen WARLOCK but don't remember much about it, and I have never seen BUFFALO BILL...a movie that DR TCB should be required to see immediately!

DR CP - you hit the nail on the head. Colonel Tom Parker nixed Elvis' participation in THE RAINMAKER as not sufficiently "starring" enough - so since he was under contract to producer Hal Wallis for a film (and also bound to Fox and MGM for one film) - Elvis, Inc passed. I agree that he would have been a good Jimmy and in GREAT company with that cast. I think he did do a screen test, I seem to remember a photo on some Biography or other....but it was LOVE ME TENDER, LOVING YOU, and JAILHOUSE ROCK for Elvis.

If the weatherman is right, we're going to have bad storms by the time I get home tonight so I don't know if I will be able to use the computer or not.

Just want to wish everyone else a wonderful day!

Laters!

The SHOWBOAT day at Rodgers & Hammerstein was fun, but the work is more detailed than I anticipated, so there were be one to two more days on the project. Today I'm back to BABES IN TOYLAND and whatever else is sitting on my desk in the office.

I'm still somewhat sickly. I am not sick enough to stay home (believe me, if I was sicke enough I would stay home) but I'm not feeling completely up to snuff.

I'm checking in so that I don't get faced with hundreds (or 10s) of posts.

Later,

I concur with DR Ben's assessment of your new avatar, DR Danise. They just keep getting ginchier and ginchier! Lovely.....

Well, I have been here at work (though not in my office) since 4:30 AM. We were doing a live remote for the final dance event of the year, an (in-house) African Dance and Drum Ensemble called Sankofa. So it's been a long day (a quasi How to Succeed...reference) already. But the segments went off without a hitch, and you have to give kudos to those students....I don't think waking up at 4AM affected them a bit!

I, on the other hand, had two -- count 'em -- two alarm clocks set for 3 AM to be here by 4:30. Just in case. Dear partner John (who has the same middle name as your very cute nephew, DR Jose!) slept in the guest room. Sure! He got a full night of beauty sleep!

I should be pretty fried by noon, I am thinking.

I am still faced with hundreds of posts to read. I could use a day off just to catch up here at HHW.

I think I'd like French Toast and a side of bacon for breakfast. Yeah, I'll order that. Of course, what I'll get, however, is toast or cereal. Now let's see, which of the two am I less sick of?

Bruce, if YOU work so hard to keep your voice in tip-top shape, what does Mr. Haines do? Does he have a secret path to wellness we should know about?

Post by: JoseSPiano on April 26, 2005, 06:22:43 AM: Good Morning!

No, your eyes do not deceive you! I am actually up and posting before Noon! In fact, I woke up at 8:30, listened to a bit of NPR, and I've already had my bowl of cereal (with frozen blueberries and soy milk). I'll finish out The Today Show, and then start sorting through more stuff.

I think that today and part of tomorrow shall consist of more picking and choosing rather than packing and moving. This way once I've picked and choose, I will, hopefully, have less to pack and move. Sounds like a plan to me. I also need to make a few calls to see where I can donate/bring a couple of items.

...And something tells me I shall be taking a nap this afternoon...

Title: Re:NO NODES IS GOOD NODES
Post by: JoseSPiano on April 26, 2005, 06:37:11 AM: As for Mexican Food...

Almost anything wrapped in a tortilla or masa.

It was quite the revelation a couple of years ago when I discovered the difference between real Mexican food and Tex-Mex food. The complexity of spicing in real Mexican food is, well, complex. And realizing that there are many other chiles out there besides jalapeños. That being said...

I love a good tamale. Whether it be filled with chicken, beef, pork, lengua, chorizo, mushrooms, cheese.... or even dulce with pineapple. I still have fond memories of the abuelas selling their tamales from makeshift carts at the top of the Vermont/Sunset and MacArthur Park Metro stations in LA last summer. Each one was different, since they cooked the ones they grew up with, the one from their particular town or village.

Sopes, tostadas, tacos, flautas, etc...

Menudo, posole.... true comfort foods.

And champurrado the Mexican hot chocolate made with corn milk.

Title: Re:NO NODES IS GOOD NODES
Post by: vixmom on April 26, 2005, 06:49:16 AM: Sorru Tthat I have been E & T the days have been very full ...the Vixter is in "hell week" of rehearsals now, tomoorw night is the final dress rehearsal but they let the local senior citizens come for free so there will be an audience, guess we can consider this the preview! this Friday the 29th (which is also the Vixters' 12th birthday) is the official opening night.

Meanwhile becaus eof Passover the Vixter had no school Friday or yesterday so I took the days off to run her around so she could video the local recycling plant, and the toen dump and the roadsides where people have disposed of their garbage....

She is also simultaneouly working on a Medieval Stained Glass project so I have been bringing her to the library and various local bookstores to get research materials , and all the available computer time has been used for googling stain glass making in the medieval period.......

She must also make a stained glass project (well actually stained plastic as they are not supposed to bring glass into school) so we were running to various craft stores to get the needed materials and to the Home Depot to get the plexiglass since all the local craft stores were out of that since every 6th grader (all 250 of them) have the same project and we were late out of the gate shopping for the materials.

She has a rehearsal alst night, has one tonioght, the preview show on Wednesday, Thursday, (the only day off from the play) she has a school concert at night, then Friday and Saturday night she has the shows and Saturday afternoon we have a first communion party to go to!! AAUUGH!!!

So anyway... that's why I haven't been around since Thursday and I msut catch up!
Title: Re:NO NODES IS GOOD NODES
Post by: vixmom on April 26, 2005, 06:56:36 AM: I like to make chicken quesadillas. I get the whole wheat tortillas and use a mixture of shredded Extra sharp Cheddar, Montery Jack and sometimes a little mozzerella, I saute some sweet onions, sweet red, yellow and green peppers, and sliced mushrooms together, with sliced chicken breast, and then I throw the mixture between the tortillas, sprinkle some of the cheese mixture on it and put the top tortilla on then brown it on both sides in a fryingpan. I serve it with medium salsa and sour cream and (sometimes ) guacamole. Mr. Vixmom gets chopped tomatoes on his .. I don't like the raw tomatoes so I abstain.....

see Jose, I do cook sometimes

And in the DC metro area, if you call that number from the 703 area code at least, you will hear the song! And I've tried it in a couple of other cities with the same results too. Of course, it's been a few years since I've tried/called, so...

Maybe we could do a sort of HHW experiment today....

As I said last night, some moron there yesterday didn't know which button to push. Too bad I didn't get the customer service rep that I had this morning when I called yesterday.

Post by: Matt H. on April 26, 2005, 07:27:41 AM: I think the last time we had the topic of Mexican food, I answered the same way I'm going to answer now.

Never been a fan of it (even when we visited Mexico for three weeks and I sampled every Mexican dish I could trying to find something I really liked). I avoid Mexican restaurants around town when possible. I will get beef chalupas at Taco Bell on occasion for lunch, but that's about it.

Post by: Matt H. on April 26, 2005, 07:30:57 AM: As I recall from THE MEN WHO MADE THE MOVIES, William Wellman was more embarrassed by BUFFALO BILL than by any other film he ever directed. He knew the script was hokum and unworthy of his talent, but as a job, he did the best he could with what he had to work with. And it ended up being one of the biggest hits of his career while THE OX-BOW INCIDENT, the movie he was the proudest of, died at the box-office.

Post by: vixmom on April 26, 2005, 07:44:18 AM: Just received a DVD of the live Central Park Delacorte Theatre production of Pirates of Penzance with Kevin Kline, George Rose, Rex Smith, Linda Rondstadt, Patricia Routledge and Tony Azito. It is to be one of the Vixter's bd gifts....

The 'blurb' on the back says
Quote
"This historic video has been made from the only original master tape of this performance in existence. Kulter has digitally restored both the video and the audio, and all remaining sound and picture defercts are recorded in the original and are beyond any further restoration"

Do you suspect, as I do, this means the video and audio will not be of the very best quality?

Post by: Matt H. on April 26, 2005, 07:59:29 AM: The audio and video of THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE is fine for what it is. Is it as sharp as a recent film's DVD transfer? Not on your life. It's videotape shot in outdoor conditions with stage rather than conventional lighting and with mono sound relatively tinny in tone.

But NONE of that matters when you see genuine talents involved in this. I HATE Gilbert and Sullivan, but even I found this delightful.

I used to like the variety of tacos at Taco Bell, especially the one that has the sour cream on it. I haven't been to a TB in over 10 years.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on April 26, 2005, 08:54:35 AM: TV Commercial Mystery: There is a current commercial for Cingular (I think) in which a mother is sending birthday greetings to her triplet sons, all of whom are enroute, from their varied destinations, home. The background music is "Get to Me" or something similar.

When the triplets arrive on their mom's doorstep, each is laden with gifts they are bringing home. It looks like Christmas.

Only thing is, THEY are the birthday boys and I can't figure why THEY each are carrying multiple wrapped presents.

And there's not a suitcase in sight.

(And yes, I considered that each might be carrying gifts for the other two...but that doesn't seem quite right in the context of boys coming home for their birthday to visit mom).

My friend, Suzanne,always send flowers to her mom on her (Suzanne's) birthday , to thank her mom for giving birth to her..... however I suspect that 1) the people who made the commercial either 1) Thought it just looked better when they arrived with armfuls of gifts or 2) They are supposed to be gifts for the other two

I had the great joy of seeing this on Broadway while Kevin Kline (whom I instantly fell in love with), George Rose, Rex Smith, and tony Azito were still with the show, and if I recall rightly, the nurse was being played by Angela Lansbury. One of the best days of theatre I ever had....

No, the nurse was Estelle Parsons. She was replaced later in the run by Kaye Ballard. Angela took over in the Joseph Papp film of the same.

Other replacements, according to the IBDB, were Jim Belushi, Gary Sandy and Treat Williams as the Pirate King; Pam Dawber, Maureen McGovern (cf. this week's Broadway Radio Show), and Karla DeVito (best known to r&r fans as the female voice on "Paradise in the Dashboard Lights") as Mabel; Robby Benson, Peter Noone, and Patrick Cassidy as Frederic.

According to IBDB, this was the 23rd (and most recent) Broadway production of the show.

The IMDB lists a lot of versions, several on television, one with Brent Carver as the Pirate King, one with Peter Allen.

I myself have a cassette tape of a British production sung entirely in Esperanto translation. Oh yes I do.

Post by: Ginny on April 26, 2005, 09:52:19 AM: Just read in one of my professional journals about librarian Ann Seidl, a former voiceover actor and TV host, who has acquired (from a private source) $50,000 in seed money for The Hollywood Librarian, a documentary that aims to meld librarian-related footage from feature films with interviews with real librarians and library supporters. Wonder if she'll include my favorite - Goldie Hawn in Foul Play, fending off the bad guys by pushing a book cart down the stairs at them.

DR RLP, that post is so...tall.

It was, wasn't it.

I had to change it, though, because there was some invisible code (oh, yes!) that I couldn't work around and strange & unusual & unwanted stuff would interfere with the basic message.

Did you know that if you encode something, and then for some reason, delete it, it somehow REMAINS??????

That's what seemingly happened.

Post by: JMK on April 26, 2005, 11:21:21 AM: So many topics, so little time:

Re: snakes up your nose and down your throat. Well, not only have I had that done to me, I actually volunteered for it!! The VA hospital in SLC used to ask for paid volunteers for medical studies and I did it once to make a couple of hundred bucks, which back in those days was big moolah. They snaked the thing through my nose, down my throat and into my stomach. They then injected me with some substance that caused 8 hours of a flu-like illness (not joking, wish I were). They then sucked my stomach secretions every few minutes and also drew my blood every half hour. Oy.

Question for BK or DR (yes I know it's not our question day, but enquiring minds want to know): We've been watching our "definitive" edition of The Twilight Zone and recently saw "Shadow Play" with Howard Duff and someone named Eileen Ryan. Ms. Ryan also did at least one Perry Mason I'm aware of. Anyway, she is a dead ringer for Meryl Streep. The resemblance is uncanny. Does anyone know if they're related?

Segue department: You'll remember I was whacked on the neck/head when purchasing said Twilight Zone at Fred Meyer. Finally got a call from their "self-insurance" company yesterday. This little 20-something twit called, hemming and hawing, told me that they would NOT pay for any medical treatment, blah, blah, blah, and that they only enter into settlement negotiations in a case like this. Dumbfounded, I said, "Fine, this was going to be no big deal, but I'll call my attorney. Thanks." So, of course, get a nice little letter from her today saying that their review of the situation finds no liability on the part of Fred Meyer (despite the fact that the clerk told me their locked glass case had been broken forever and it was his manic jiggling to open the door that dislodged the boxe set that fell on me), but that as "a token of their commitment to customer service" they were offering me $250.00. Which of course makes me think of what their real offer will be if I make waves. I still have a huge welt on my back where the thing hit me. Another oy.

TV Commercial Mystery: There is a current commercial for Cingular (I think) in which a mother is sending birthday greetings to her triplet sons, all of whom are enroute, from their varied destinations, home. The background music is "Get to Me" or something similar.

When the triplets arrive on their mom's doorstep, each is laden with gifts they are bringing home. It looks like Christmas.

Only thing is, THEY are the birthday boys and I can't figure why THEY each are carrying multiple wrapped presents.

And there's not a suitcase in sight.

(And yes, I considered that each might be carrying gifts for the other two...but that doesn't seem quite right in the context of boys coming home for their birthday to visit mom).
Gift-giving in commercials is done differently from how it is done in real life.

The triplets are bringing empty boxes, cleverly wrapped. It will be up to the impoverished mother to fill those boxes, impoverished because she has spent all her money on gifts to put in the boxes and now cannot afford gift wrap. The triplets will then take their presents home, and unwrap them there.

The good news is that the advertisement is pro-recycling, as the boxes can be used over and over again. As can the commercial.

Sorry no Sugar here. At least I don't think so.

Of course, when I went to my shelves, I noticed that Sugar was "missing". "Well, who would I have loaned that out too?" I could even see the cover in my head, like I had seen it recently.

Well, as I was about to respond to you, I realized the cover I had in my head was for Grind. Sugar...Grind Close, huh? -Well, at least they both had five letters... and a "g" and and an "r".

Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, a thug in town, to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that "Only Hugh can prevent florist friars."

No, the nurse was Estelle Parsons. She was replaced later in the run by Kaye Ballard. Angela took over in the Joseph Papp film of the same.

Other replacements, according to the IBDB, were Jim Belushi, Gary Sandy and Treat Williams as the Pirate King; Pam Dawber, Maureen McGovern (cf. this week's Broadway Radio Show), and Karla DeVito (best known to r&r fans as the female voice on "Paradise in the Dashboard Lights") as Mabel; Robby Benson, Peter Noone, and Patrick Cassidy as Frederic.

Thank you, WFO. I didn't think I saw Angela in the production, but I had forgotten it was Estelle Parsons. Of course, for months after I saw it, I was convinced that there was no one else in the cast besides Kevin Kline.

I have always liked Gary Sandy, and I thought he was a good choice for THE MUSIC MAN; but as the Pirate King????

You know how earlier everyone was talking about their favorite Mexican foods?

And I said a local taqueria made excellent quesadillas and tostadas?

Well, a co-worker and I went there for lunch today...and it was closed. Shut tight. Dark. No signs. No furniture inside. Nothing.

HUGE mystery.

Had a tostada plate there just last week.

Had I known it would be my last....

...well, I don't know.

JENNIFER
1971
Funny how so many moments slip away
The things I meant to say
I should have said them all before today
To Jennifer, Jennifer.

Funny how you'd smile and always understand
When I got out of hand
Have you forgotten all the fun we planned
My Jennifer, Jennifer?

And now you think you're getting in my way,
And all I want to do is find you, and remind you
Even if I may become a star someday
I'd give it all away
If it meant that I couldn't always stay
With Jennifer, Jennifer.

So now I'm begging you to come back home
You'll never have to be alone
We'll be as we were
My Jennifer.

Friars, behind on their belfry payments, opened a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, a thug in town, to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that. . . .

If Apple is as efficient as they have been, I should have my iBook back by the weekend. Thankfully, the initial diagnosis indicated that something was wrong with the logic board and not with the harddrive. I don't really have a lot of "stuff" on the harddrive, but I'm not looking forward to the prospect of putting all that "stuff" back on, so...

In the meantime, I guess I'll be getting plenty of packing done, so... Always a bright side.. Even if it sort of a dim one...

Post by: Matt H. on April 26, 2005, 08:24:03 PM: Because my cable box became operational today, I was able to record AMERICAN IDOL on the DVR for replay when I got home from rehearsal.

Not a good night.

The songs had to come from the years 2000-2005, and if these six songs were the choicest from these six years, it's been a lousy decade for music thus far. GOD AWFUL!

Now, Bo and Anthony outsung everyone else tonight. Anythony in particular started his song very softly and sweetly and then gave a rousing vocal finsh to it that was by far the best of the night.

Bo did a genuine rock song that seemed authentic. Constantine also did a rock number that had NO musicality to it at all. I hated it.

Carrie had a very off night, Scott once again relied on weak falsetto for a few notes that broke the spell of the song, and Vonzell was weak in her low register, quavery through the middle, and did messy melisma trying to salvage the performance.

Since I was at rehearsal, I was not able to vote for anyone or call the numbers to see whose line was busy, so tomorrow night's results will be a total surprise for me.

On the basis of effectiveness for my ear, I'd say the bottom three oought to be Carrie, Constantine, and Vonzell, but I suspect it'll be Scott, Anthony, and Vonzell at the bottom.

BTW, Bo got the longest and loudest amount of applause of the night from the audience by far.

I thought Bo was the best of the six tonight, but I also thought that Anthony and Vonzell were the best that they had been in weeks, and yet, Anthony receivied the smallest ovation of anyone tonight. I don't care for Scott, I never have cared for Scott, and tonight's performance did nothing to change my opinion. Carrie was extremely out of tune tonight; singing all around the notes, but rarely staying on them. Constantine gave a near fatal performance tonight. If he didn't have such a large fan base, I think it would be bye, bye, bye.

Bottom three: (not my choices): Constantine, Scott, and Anthony. Scott finally goes home.

Then we drove west to the Eastern Shore, so we could borrow the son-in-law's truck, to transport the new television homewards.

Then we drove east again, back to Dover, to pick up said television.

Then we drove south, homewards, with said television.

Then, after unloading the television in our homestead, we drove back north and westwards, to return the truck to son-in-law.

Then we drove east and south once more, back home in our own car.

We are too pooped to set the damned thing up. That will have to wait until tomorrow.

For a couple of years, we did (in full drag) "The Beauty That Drives a Man Mad," but it was transcribed from the London recording of Some Like It Hot. It has a different (meaning longer...and I think better) ending and some different lyrics. I could look for the music and e-mail it tonight it if BK's person doesn't work out (and I find it...which I'm pretty sure I could). Or would you specifically want the original Broadway version of the song from the musical known as Sugar as opposed to the revised version of the song and musical Some Like It Hot?

I just e-mailed the pages to him. So, unless he really does want the original version, he should be very happy the next time he opens his e-mail! I also sent an MP3 of the song from the London cast recording, just in case he and/or the singers want to hear it. ;D

Post by: JoseSPiano on April 26, 2005, 10:31:51 PM: Good Evening!

Once again, I'm logging on via my roomie's computer. Well, my soon-to-be-ex-roomie's spyware-laden, adware-infected piece of !@#$%!!! In any case...

Nothing more to add right now, except that I'm heading to bed. I shall try to check in tomorrow as the day and the packing progresses. I did stop by Steve's on the way back from Apple Store to pick up some boxes and packing material leftover from his very recent move. -Thank you, Steve. :)

I also got the not-so-hairbrain idea in my head that if I work quite diligently tomorrow, I could actually get everything sorted, packed and boxed up. I would have to wake up in one of those "man on a mission" moods, but, hey, stranger things have happened. We shall see.

So, if that does happen, then all I have to do is rent the van on Thursday, bring the stuff to the storage unit, return the van. Clean up my room on Friday. Then spend the weekend at Steve's - or maybe even head up to Fairfax to spend it with my family. *Plus, there's plenty to do this weekend in Richmond: Arts In the Park, the opera at VCU ("Marriage of Figaro"), Cinco de Mayo, etc., etc., etc...

OK... Till tomorrow...

Goodnight.

DR Jane - GOOD BOY BOGIE VIBES!!!

-And Thank You - I think John Michael is quite cute and special too. *In fact, when he was a baby, he looked just like I did when I was a baby. Even my parents had questions! ;) -No way, Jose!

Then a steaming shower.

I'm afraid it's going to be Boot Hill unless we can get her to post instead of just sitting there like so much fish.

Notes are written, steaming shower awaits.

And one for Mahler.
