ICU DR Elmore. :) I hope your feeling better as well. Have a good day.
Overloaded Circuits of My Mind.
Isn't that a Marvin Hamlisch-Marilyn & Alan Bergman tune?
We wanted to let all of you know that the Original Cast Recording of "Little Women" is now available for purchase at the theater and online at www.ghostlightrecords.com! The CD features 20 tracks, and a beautiful 24 page booklet, featuring complete lyrics and full color photos!
We're thrilled with the album, and are proud to have preserved this wonderful musical for generations to come! The album is also available in stores across the country! There will be a special CD signing event at the Virginia Theatre in New York City on May 7th, after the matinee performance (4:45pm). Come by the theatre, pick up a CD and meet the cast! ALSO... be sure to check out the Little Women blog at http://littlewomen.typepad.com to see cast comments on the CD!
Vixmom your mailbox is full.
Yes, Anthony's show will still be running on May 14th. The performance will be at 8pm. Since it's a small theatre I suggest calling the theatre and making a reservation. The number is 1-212-288-3246, Ext. 3. The number is a 24-hour answering machine. Leave your name, number of tickets requested, the date and a phone number. If you don't hear back from them your reservation is confirmed. They will only call back if there is a problem.Excellent!! I just have to check again tomake sure that Mr. Vixmom has not commited us to any other social engagment. I'll let you know as soonas I palce the reservation request.
Sorry, I am unable to help with the CD signing. I would love to help out our budding Musical Theatre star but previous plans prevent me from fullfilling her wish.No problem.. I really do not expect any one will want to spend their Saturday evening doing this, but nothing ventured nothing gained, hey? (And maybe one of the NYC DR's were palnning to be there anyway to get their Mom or sister or niece a Mother's day present!) :D
A chocolate mouse filling would be perfect!
I got a lovely e-mail from dear reader Hisaka, who says hello to everyone and wants everyone to know she misses them. Her mother has had some health issues (now feeling better), and she's been working, as well. She'll be back with us in about a week, and I, for one, say hoo and ray. Jane, she thanks you for your e-mail.
Did you like the movie? We also saw it yesterday and were very disappointed.
On the 6th and 7th, Huntsville, Alabama is holding the Whistle Stop Festival and Rocket City BBQ Cookoff (http://www.rocketcitybbq.com/).
Same dates, in Dover, Ohio, the Dandelion May Festival (http://www.breitenbachwine.com/nws_fr.asp?id=55) features a cookoff, wine sampling, and arts and crafts.
And, again same dates, in Hamburg, Arkansas (http://www.arkansas.com/), they're holding the 36th Annual Armadillo Festival. And in Hundsville, Arkansas, they're holding the 44th Annual Springtime War Eagle Festival. Not to mention the 9th Annual Whistlestop Festival being held in Ashdown.
Sounds like your dance card is filling up quickly!! :DI'm just posting these so everyone else will know about them. The Cabaret Fest will keep us busy, I think.
MBARNUM - Colossus of Rhodes is supposed to be one of the BEST peplum movies EVER
I'm trying to decide which of these new cast recordings to get:

(http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000929ABY.01._PE29_SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg)
Well, I suppose I shall mosey on over to the recording studio. I can't just sit here anymore, it's driving me crazy and right now that is not such a long drive.And if you need to change the thermostat setting for when Guy Haines arrives, this will give you time to do that!
TOD:
A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE and IRMA LA DOUCE (oh, you said WAR movies! spoo!)
Does "Hope and Glory" count as a war film?
Why choose just one? Aren't original cast recordings like peanuts and potato chips? Can't have just one!
I've found more rice. :-\
I think the dolphin bit went on too long
I've found more rice. :-\
I think the dolphin bit went on too long, the John Malcovich character wasn't needed and therefore that whole sequence could have been cut, the ending was unsatisfatory (and wrong) and I just didn't laugh. I laughed out loud reading the books.The ending is wrong?? :o What did they do??
Topic of the Day:
The African Queen
Casablanca
Gone With the Wind
M*A*S*H
South Pacific
Start the Revolution Without MeThe ending is wrong?? :o What did they do??
they "put things back the way they were" which is of course both wrong and impossible...
Fun war movies:
OPERATION PETTICOAT
MR. ROBERTS
Fun Cold War movie:
THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING, THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING
:D Have you found my egg?
Wow tonight is Rory Calhoun night on TCM....lots of westerns, including THE YELLOW TOMAHAWK with Peggie Castle - AND later THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES, an EYE-talian Peplum film directed by Mr Sergio Leone!!
I'm sticking to just WWI & II movies.
Has the world gone utterly mad? It's the Scopes Trial all over again in Kansas. They are actually having hearings against teaching evolution in the public schools there...I have never been to Kansas before. I now have even more reason never to go there. What a frightening place that must be!
Privates on Parade, definitely my favorite war movie.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES continued its mysterious ways last night. Who set the fire to Susan's house - father or son?
Emergency, have to run...
Have we completely ruled out her mother? (I know it seems likely that one of her neighbors did it, but, let's face it, Lesley Ann Warren is a flake. As always...)

I It has about as much scientific validity as saying we're all made of moonbeams and pixie dust!
rice related emergency?No, more obvious. Dog related.
And Gone With the Wind.. a chick war movie
When I was in 7th or 8th grade I had a test on evolution. My brain went into "shut down " mode and I could not for the life of me remember anything about which period was what etc.. so I wrote down the beginning of Genesis (which had just been required memorization in confirmation class) and got full credit from a teacher who probably was afraid of a group of holy rollers descending upon him if he marked my answers as incorrect.But you WERE a perfect student. You knew exactly how to terrorize the teachers, and got perfect grades as a result! Right?
(In thinking back on my school career, I realize I was a terrible student! The Vixter must never read these pages! In my "when I was your age" stories I was a perfect student and model of decorum at all times ;D)
My church has no problems with the theory of evolution, my Pastor says Science tells us how, the Bible tells us whySmart Pastor. Unfortunately, now that many churches have discovered the power of banding together and bringing "the fear of God" into their battles, that kind of intelligence is in short supply.
:D

No, more obvious. Dog related.
Our dogs started making a ruckus, barking at something they saw through the front windows. Der Brucer, looking out, saw another Dalmatian running loose along the street. No collar, no tags.
So off we ran, after another dog. Of course.
Der B followed in his car to where he thought the Dal had gone, I followed on foot. In the process, I spotted the Dal laying next to a truck, which was parked next to a house on our street that is being renovated. He let me come up, and gave me a sniff, and let me slip a leash around his neck. Der B came back, amazed that I had caught the Dal so easily.
The Dal got right in the car, no fears. After driving around the neighborhood, to see if anyone was around and had "lost a Dalmatian," we decided to check with Molly, the local Dalmatian League leader. Nope, she hadn't seen this new dog, or heard of any other Dals in our neck of the woods. So, der B and I decided the best idea would be to head back home (with a side-trip to WalMart for a collar for the boy) and, if need be, keep him in the basement while posting signs.
But, driving by the house where I'd caught the Dal, we thought it might be a better idea for me to take another look, to see if there was any signs that someone had left him in the back yard. Indeed there was, two bowls and a rope, a rope that had clearly been escaped from.
At this moment, the new owner of the house drove up in his truck, very curious as to why I'd been snooping around on his property. I explained about the Dalmatian, which he recognized as belonging to one of the men working on the property. So, after a pleasant exchange of information, we agreed to take the Dal with us to our house, much safer than anywhere else. The Dal's owner should be back within an hour or so, and he has the address where we live.
End of emergency...I think.
Jed did you hear from the newspaper yet? Craig was called to interview for a position as a copy editor on the Bucharest paper. Unfortunately he can’t begin until July & they need the position filled before then.
DR RLP. There's also that delightful story of the poetic reddish coloured fish.
"Atlantic verses by Salmon Rusty".
LOL WFO.....another good choice.
Excellent war movie choices - I'm going to try several that I haven't seen. I'll be finishing Battle of the Bulge this evening. This thing was critically drubbed when it came out, but I must say I'm finding it thoroughly engrossing.
MBarnum I TiVo’d a few of the Rory Calhoun movies-thanks for the tip.
Oh, but you need the full effect of watching the whole show while enjoying the peace and quiet of an evening home alone
Boy, I'm watching Supernanny, finally a show that makes me feel really glad I'm single and childless!!!!
I've got to get a production of Li'l Abner going for me to direct so I can cast Miss Jessica Rush as Daisy Mae.

The only thing I remember about my one trip to Canada when I was three was when we were in a public bathroom somewhere in Quebec and there was this girl in there talking in French to her mom. I was only three, so I didn't realize she was speaking another language and just thought she was crazy.
There's your completely random and irrelevant story for the day.
