Well, you've read the notes, the notes had interruptions and distractions, and now it is time for you to post until the interrupted and distracted cows come home.

Last night, I was going to post about a CD that I just got, and was doing some research, but then the day locked and I lost my post. ::) Anyway, a few months ago on the Cast Album Collectors forum on FB, someone posted about a recording called Maxie's, feturing (in alphabetical order) Jason Alexander (as Maxie), Heather Headley, Jennifer Holliday, Shirley Jones, Jeremy Jordan, Billy Porter, John Schneider, Ruben Studdard.  What a cast!

AND the main reason for wanting to post, I was able to get a new copy from an Amazon seller and it arrived on Monday.  But I didn't, of course, realize that the chorus was recorded in Seattle, and the chorus music director was Olympia's own Ian Eisendrath, who was the resident music director of Seattle's 5th Avenue, and was also the Broadway music director for a little show known as Come From Away!  I've known him since he was in eighth grade!  And I also know and have done shows with two of the people in chorus, Jenny Shotwell and Matthew Posner! ;D

With a cast like that, I was VERY surprised that it hadn't yet been added to the CastAlbums (https://castalbums.org/) database, so I did (https://castalbums.org/recordings/Maxies-A-New-Musical-2016-Studio-Cast/47466). :)

Surprisingly, I found myself more emotionally affected than expected at times.

As a former actor, and a very good one, I imagine he feels comfortable speaking to other people in that field.

I still find it AMAZING that he played the role of the President of Ukraine in his comedy TV series, which is quite amusing.

We were on four before.

I checked in briefly earlier this morning before logging in, because I had to go do some things first, and something weird happened with a page turn while I was reading on my phone. (This was an hour or two ago.) While reading, there was a page turn and it seemed like a post was missing, or that whoever was posting then had left out something. A few moments later things seemed to "shift" again, and I went back to the first page and quickly scrolled straight through. This time I found several posts I'd totally missed seeing earlier, and things then made sense. And now you're saying you observed something weird, too, so it wasn't just me.

Good morning - evidently there was an award show last night?  <yawn>

I'm at school this morning (normally a day off) for the second round of auditions for Dear Edwina Jr.  I LOVE this show.  Looking forward to finally get to direct it.  After that, I HOPE to be heading over to Concord to pick up my new (to me) car.  2005 Honda Element.  I'm a little more than excited, but the car dealership doesn't seem to be filling out the paperwork for the credit union to the credit union's standards.... so I'm waiting.

I'm working on posting pics of the puppy.

I'm confused, though -- not that that's anything new -- but I thought I remembered him dealing with something, like covid or pneumonia or the flu, back when he first went in after his fall. It seems like that poor DR isn't getting a break.

Good morning - evidently there was an award show last night?  <yawn>

I'm at school this morning (normally a day off) for the second round of auditions for Dear Edwina Jr.  I LOVE this show.  Looking forward to finally get to direct it.  After that, I HOPE to be heading over to Concord to pick up my new (to me) car.  2005 Honda Element.  I'm a little more than excited, but the car dealership doesn't seem to be filling out the paperwork for the credit union to the credit union's standards.... so I'm waiting.

I'm working on posting pics of the puppy.


Yes, the Yellow Blobs extravaganza aired last night.  I recorded it and added a 30-minute extension in case it went over.  But...that half hour extra was not enough.

No matter:  Every time I tuned in, I was treated to an exercise in total tastelessness coupled with verbal diarrhea.

I am satisfied to find a list of winners online this morning.  I may have damaged the TV had I been forced to watch the debacle.

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep. Went to bed too late but was so frustrated trying to get the commentary organized. We've done many of the songs before so I usually cut and paste that commentary in but Spotlight on the Mac has become completely useless - I search the song title - nothing. The writers - nothing. The show - nothing. So, I then have to figure out what Kritzerland show we might have done it in and I find that commentary and there it is - song, writers, show. We've done Bye Bye Birdie songs in tons of shows and I could not find it until it came up in a Group Rep cabaret. And how do we think it got THERE? Cut and paste, but I could not find it anywhere.

Not a single interruption or distraction so hoo and ray for that. Futzing and finessing took quite a while but I was happy with everything once that was done. Then I just mushed on immediately with new pages. After two hours of that, I made some pasta and ate it and it was good. Then I went right back to writing. Again, because of what the book is, it takes quite a bit to get through one page and especially as I have to stop and research things sometimes. But, happy to save I'm eight pages so far and I need a break right now, but should be able to do seven more during the evening.

I'm confused, though -- not that that's anything new -- but I thought I remembered him dealing with something, like covid or pneumonia or the flu, back when he first went in after his fall. It seems like that poor DR isn't getting a break.

He had Covid in December, now he has pneumonia. The nurse has said he tested positive for Covid as well.

Geico has won its appeal against the woman who sued them because they didn’t offer her damages for contacting HPV while having sex in a Geico-covered car.


Wait...they had to appeal?! You mean she originally WON???!!!



Yes. She won $5.2 million. She will likely appeal.

That is ludicrous!

If her appeal succeeds, however I may have to consider obtaining a social disease in an unconventional, but fully insured location in order to fund my retirement

What awful news about poor WFO! It's better than I thought, since I was afraid DR vxmom was going to tell us he had died.

DR vixmom, who's checking on his house and postal deliveries? Please send him my warmest regards. He's such a good man.

He is a wonderful man.  I have been lucky enough to have him in my life for 45 years.

Carole Cook has died. She was 98.

Oh, my goodness!  What a long life...and career!  She definitely was a unique performer.

Carole Cook.....I remember her first from her episodes of The Lucy Show.....and then of course the Cast LP of 42nd Street.

She was always so much fun when she was on the various television shows - panel, variety, and sitcom.

And all the S.T.A.G.E. recordings that she performed on.

He was a math professor at a University and was my (then) boyfriend’s advisor for his senior thesis. They became friendly during the process and we began to socialize after John’s graduation.

Eventually  we both dumped John but we kept each other.

Watched one episode of a documentary about Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward - made by Ethan Hawke and so naturally it's very odd. Nice footage, though. I'll watch the other episodes after the Kritzerland show is done. I'll now try to get the commentary at least assembled, then we'll see how much I actually have to write.

If I remember, her questions had to do with my writing process - normally, I don't have any interruptions or distractions so it's not an issue. I tend to write when I get up and like peace and quiet for it. I attend to things when I take breaks, but then I have to just have silence again. It's when endless annoying calls come in and when people need things from me when I'm trying not to break my concentration - yesterday was the WORST in that regard.
