Well, you've read the notes, the notes were Haynesified, and now it is time for you to post until the Haynes His Way cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: FORGIVENESS!

I never knew you could record more than one program at the same time.

BK, your friend Steve looks horrible.
-
He sounds fine. Is he 90?
-
And he loves the new WEST SIDE STORY.
-
He sounds fine. Is he 90?
He's 91...and a half!
-
;D

Well...according to THIS (https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/VIDEO-Nathan-Lane-Talks-Reading-of-a-New-Sondheim-Musical-With-Bernadette-Peters-20210915) article and video from Broadwayworld.com, Nathan Lane "just did a reading of a new Sondheim musical. He's 90 and he's written this new musical ... It was very exciting. Bernadette Peters and I. A whole group of wonderful people."
:D
-
I assume it's not the Buñuel project that Sondheim had been working on with David Ives.
-
It's hardly a "new" musical - he's been working on it with David Ives for a decade and it was deader than a doornail. He loves the new Company, he loves West Side Story - of course he does.
-
Someone posted that article in the Finishing the Chat group on Facebook.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
May you have an easy fast, as they say.
-
I don't know who they is, but said it they did.
-
And the word of the day is: FORGIVENESS!
I love that song from Jane Eyre!
-
Good morning, all!
-
DR TCB, it's in Steve's best interests to praise the new West Side Story or Company. With every revival of one of his shows he tells the cast they are the best cast yet, although I don't know how he could keep a straight face with that whopper on the last revival of Follies.
-
I think I slept well. I had a dream in which a document had a word misspelled throughout it. I do not remember the word now but it was something like "testamoont."
-
Joshie should be getting back from Houston and My Fair Lady today or tomorrow. I look forward to a full report.
-
I've been doing some composing the past couple of days, so I will continue with that today. I need to check as well on the date a certain literary agent will begin accepting submissions. His website said he was closed to submissions until Sept. 15.
-
:D
-
Good morning, all.

Too true.

Thursday..... Barnum is singing a new song.
I have been listening to some FIDDLER ON THE ROOF cds and he likes the music - he especially enjoys Tradition and likes to sing and dance along.....
-
Julianne Moore.....hmmm....I like her.....I guess my favorite would be FAR FROM HEAVEN.
-
I love Todd Haynes, I love Julianne Moore, and I love Safe -- which I haven't seen since I got the DVD. But I did upgrade it to Blu-ray and I'm taking that out and putting it on the watch pile.
I first heard of Todd Haynes when a friend showed me a bootleg videotape of Superstar. The first film of his I saw in a theater was Far From Heaven. I loved that, then I got the DVD of Safe and was really wowed by that one. I loved his Mildred Pierce. When it aired I had recently read the James Cain novel which immediately became a favorite book, and I was beyond thrilled to find how faithful to the book the miniseries was. He also pulled a nice coup in making it look like he'd filmed it in L.A., when it was all done in NYC and upstate and Long Island. For me at the time (I've only seen it that once so far), the only shot that blew the illusion was that of a "causeway" and grassy dunes of the type that don't exist in California. I never saw Poison and I have yet to see Wonderstruck. And others.
For me, Julianne Moore can just about do no wrong. Her Paul Thomas Anderson films are tops, as are the Haynes ones, The Hours, and her Sarah Palin was incredible -- whatever that TV movie was called. She's certainly been in some movies I have no interest in, but she is never less than greatness itself.
-
I need to watch [safe]. I, too, enjoy Julianne Moore in most everything, except for a couple of romcoms she did.
Favorites include:
Still Alice
Gloria Bell
A Single Man
The Big Lebowski
Children of Men
Short Cuts
-
Two!

Thank you George.

DR Laura, congratulations on being negative.

I couldn’t refuse.

Great news, ChasSmith!

I'm up, I'm up - I really have no idea how much sleep I did or didn't get. Fell asleep around 3:45, up at 6:15 - went to CVS and got some Claritin-D - was down to my last one - came home, back in bed at eight-thirty, up at eleven-thirty for my noon o'clock call but fell back asleep so that the call woke me up - then forty-five minutes on the call and now not enough time to get another hour, due to the haircut. So, what is that? Six hours?
-
I gotta tell you.
-
I couldn’t refuse.
Nor would we want you to, John. ;)
-
A strange but productive day. I finished my composition, watched my soaps, answered a nice email, and now I'm having a mushroom-cheese omelet with some veggies. I wish I had some potato salad.

I finished the potato salad yesterday. And I want some more.
-
Just off work. A whole lot of primal screams built up over the day.
-
Sorry, DR John G. That stinks.

It's hardly a "new" musical - he's been working on it with David Ives for a decade and it was deader than a doornail. He loves the new Company, he loves West Side Story - of course he does.
After he says "everybody go, you'll have a good time," he laughs along with the audience that he's touting his own work both times. :)

It was sad to read that Jane Powell passed away, but I guess 92 is a really good age.
-
I'm blowing my bubbles (with vocalizations). There's six exercises, and it takes about 10 minutes.
It's a good thing there IS no video, DR John G., because it sounds pretty idiotic.
-
Haircut done.
-
Even though the motor car was fine this morning, I knew when I locked the car something was wrong as it didn't beep. I re-closed the door and it beeped, but when it doesn't do it the first time then something in the electrical system keeps running and drains the battery. I have no idea WHAT because I've disconnected all the lights and the iPod, which I think was the earlier problem, is no longer in the car. Because this is the fifth time this year I now have to pay to have it charged - ninety bucks. I'm going to look into a portable charger and see how much they are, but in the end I'm going to have to get a diagnostic and get this fixed or get a new car.
-
Because fixing the electrical system ain't cheap.
-
So, I am now in a foul mood and would like to eat the head of a chicken. I was fasting like a good Jew, but this crap I don't need and I'll eat when the battery is charged and I can do a Gelson's run.
-
And still we're on page two.

Do you scream once you get into your car?

Sad, but 92 is great.
-
Bruce I am sorry about your car.

I saw her with Howard Keel onstage in a tour of Seven Brides. They both wore wigs. But they sang as wonderful as ever. I was a kid then, maybe 13.
-
Three!

I’m still working from home.

So, the bird has to deal with the screams.

That's pretty cool! Seven Brides... is one of my mom's favorite movies. :)

He’s good at those himself.

I am so tired from lack of sleep I forgot.

Poor baby.

Watching Anna Lucasta with Eartha Kitt and Sammy Davis Jr. Interesting relic. I remember Ricardo Montalban singing about it in Jamaica.
-
The Van Gogh immersive exhibition is coming to San Antonio. I don't know if I want to go after seeing the exhibit two years ago of the real thing.
-
I understand that. Is this new space much smaller?
-
The Van Gogh immersive exhibition
It's in Minneapolis now. I have tickets for the end of next week, but am undecided if it's worth the risk of getting COVID in a crowded space with many others.
-
He’s good at those himself.
Maybe he learned them from you. 8)
-
Sorry about your car, bk. There are no winning solutions there.
-
Hitting the hay early tonight.

Well, I don't know what to say to that.

Good night, friends.

The website is fairly explicit about social distancing and the practices being employed. That part sounded good. If you go, let me know what you think.

Hi guys
-
The new job is coming along ok
-
I hate the commute
-
But it could worse
-
I’m learning a lot of new stuff and my brain hurts
-

Good :)
-
I was waiting until the weekend to ask.
-
I hate the commute
Sorry.
-

I look forward to when you are comfortable with all the new stuff.
-
'night
-
I have no news I’m afraid
-
Let's move on ...
-
Four!
-
Your days of no news are always more interesting than mine, Vixmom. Sorry the commute sucks. But glad the job is OK.
-
Started watching Edmund O'Brien in a noir called The Web. Vincent Price and William Bendix help with the scenery chewing while Ella Raines is the femme fatale.
-
Anna Lucasta was intriguing. The footage of Sammy Davis Jr. dancing through Anna's alcohol-induced fantasy was really well done.
-
My horoscope for tomorrow says I "can turn a love of food into an exciting career." I think the stars are about 22 years late.
-
Hi guys
Hello, Vixmom.
-
I’m learning a lot of new stuff and my brain hurts
I feel your pain. ::)
-
Good night, all.
-
Good night, John.
-
And since we're so close...
-
Deliberate Post #100!!
-
Or...
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Just bought the same jump starter battery thing the AAA guy had - I took a photo of it and found the exact model on Amazon. Not too bad and since I'd have to pay to have them come out, this will protect me and pay for itself after one charge.

Our first storm of the Fall is due tomorrow,
-
The whole weekend is supposed to be wet and windy, with possible thunder and lightening.
-
For those folks (BK, Chas) who haven’t seen POISON, I would skip it. Very strange movie.
-
Julianne Moore was on THE KELLY CLARKSON SHOW, as part of the cast of DEAR EVAN HANSEN.
-
She plays Evan’s mother.

I said he just looked weird, but he spoke the same as usual.
-
George, just watch lash night’s COLBERT and tell me that Steve does not look weird.

Do you mean Ron’s revival? I enjoyed that one. Of course I never got to see the original.

My friend Kelly Peterson just sent me the quilt that she made for my ex (her uncle) James, for his 75th birthday. I thought was so cool.
-
We are getting no where tonight.
-
I have nothing to say.
-
And unlike, vixmom, I don’t even have a new job to talk about.
-
And no clever banter with anyone, because I am all alone.
-
I will get the page changed.
-
That is a piece of cake.
-
P A G E T H R E E !
-
I agave get pills to take. So, later.
-

Ooo...that sounds like fun.

I did watch it, and he looks old. His eyes are real puffy, and it's probably they way they are now, not a temporary situation.

Nice! Can you take a picture and share?

Sondheim lost too much weight and so he looks more pinched than usual.
-
This is most unseemly.
-
This dearth.
-
This dessert.
-
This arid landscape.
-
This where the HELL are the postings?
-
Listening to a Japanese composer who's terrific.
-
New notes are up.
-
I guess that means I should change the topic.
-
And yet there's this dearth.
-
Dearth to Earth - where the HELL are the postings?
-
I gotta tell you.
-
Why I oughta...
-
I don't see why not.
-
So, there's a new musical, Diana: The Musical (https://www.amazon.com/Diana-Original-Broadway-Recording-Explicit/dp/B0992SZMFJ/). The two samples are...interesting.
