Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Kritzerland 123, and now it is time for you to post until the 123 cows come home.

Topic of the Day:  pretty much just Doctor Who and Antiques Roadshow.  I used to watch a lot of TV, but over the last several years, I really haven't been watching much at all.  I've seriously been thinking about getting rid of cable TV altogether.  I haven't (yet) pulled the plug, but we'll see how much longer I last.

Kritzeland at The Gardenia 123 sounds like it was a charming show with an effusive audience.

I hope that the cover charge problems can be solved before the next show at The Gardenia.

If not, is there another venue to be considered?

It took me back to a time when my then 8 year old was bound and determined to book the role of Annie in a professional production.

It was her first time auditioning.

She was too small, just like in the song, and too young.

But she got the part of Molly, and had the best time.

I read that the song was staged to be performed on a high platform, and one of the little girls, Baby June, I think, was afraid of being up that high.

Thanks, bk, for including it on Lost in Boston.

Did I sleep well last night! I'm absolutely amazed. At 4:00, however, it all went to hell: the cats were suddenly quite rambunctious. One of them started to destroy the window blinds, one noisily attacked a scratching post, and several of them raced around the apartment, leaping in and out of the huge Bounty paper towels carton I call "Anabelle's summer home. Then, after that 30-minute bout, I fell back to sleep.

I dreamed I had been working on a production of Little Mary Sunshine somewhere, and I was visiting my best friend from college at his parents' home in Springfield, Ohio. My friend's name was Charles Irvine, a wonderful actor with huge drug and alcohol issues that killed him in 2009. His family was Canadian, from Toronto, and his great-grandmother had been a lady in waiting to Queen Alexandra. Charles' father worked for Aeronca, as I recall, and his mother Ethel was a very funny, ditzy lady. I was quite fond of her.  In my dream, she was nothing like she was in reality.

Charles married my friend Shari Caldwell, and they moved after graduation to London, where he enrolled in the Central School of Drama. After that, they settled in Toronto until they divorced. Shari stayed in Toronto with their son and became a success actor's agent. I don't know much about his life after that. In my dream we were still in our early 20s.

I just got an email all about.....     PAPRIKA!
Title: Re: KRITZERLAND AT THE GARDENIA 123
Post by: singdaw on January 16, 2023, 04:05:34 AM
So I thought I would share it with all of you.
Title: Re: KRITZERLAND AT THE GARDENIA 123
Post by: singdaw on January 16, 2023, 04:05:48 AM
REGULAR PAPRIKA: Most of the paprika sold in grocery stores is simply labeled “paprika”, or less commonly, “sweet paprika” to differentiate it from “hot paprika”, meaning cayenne pepper. "Supermarket paprika” tends to be mellow (neither sweet nor hot).

HUNGARIAN PAPRIKA: Paprika is the national spice of Hungary and there you’ll find 8 different grades of Hungarian paprika. (https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/15.0/1f631/32.png) (They mainly differ in pungency and heat, but also “quality”).
Hungarian gulyas (goulash), the national dish of Hungary, heavily emphasizes paprika (it is the main spice used and provides most of the flavoring).

SPANISH PAPRIKA (or PIMENTON): Spanish paprika can be mild or hot, depending on the blend of chiles used. It also tends to be less intense (less pungent) than Hungarian paprika, but could be more bitter than “regular paprika.” I would caution against substituting with Spanish paprika unless you’re familiar with the spice.

SMOKED PAPRIKA: Smoked paprika adds a lovely smokiness to “regular paprika.” The smoke flavor is created by drying the peppers over wood fires first. In Spain, smoked paprika is called pimentón de La Vera, and it is frequently used in Paella.

SUBSTITUTIONS: I find you can usually substitute “paprika” for smoked paprika (though some flavoring is lost) but smoked paprika is generally not a great replacement for “regular paprika.”

Monday afternoon greetings!  It’s been quite stressful here for the past few days.  Saturday Richard had GI distress so severe that I called an ambulance about 9pm and they transported him to our local ER.  I followed, of course, and he was diagnosed pretty quickly with an obstruction.  He was admitted about 2:30am and I stayed the night.

I did not stay last night and missed some excitement when, apparently, the obstruction resolved.  He feels much better today, but will have laparoscopic surgery tomorrow to see if we can find out what has been causing these episodes (of which this was the most severe). 

Vibes for an uneventful outcome would be appreciated.

Good Morning - I miraculously got the car to the mechanic and made the 2 mile walk home - getting there was miraculous, not the walk LOL.

Anyway, we shall see what we shall see. The weather is nice today, sort of windy as I'm by the bay, but the walk was lovely and I'm thankful it wasn't raining for that reason.

Chores, lesson plans, rehearsal prep are on the docket today, and a Matilda rehearsal this eve.  Trying to stay positive!

I think it’s entirely possible there’s scar tissue from a prior (undiagnosed) episode of diverticulitis.  Let’s hope that’s all it is.

I have been prone to painful, debilitating, crying out loud stomach pain.  I have never considered going to the hospital for them.  I believe it when you say it is one of the most painful things you can have.  What I deal with must be a piece of cake in comparison.

Did I mention how delightful it was today not to have any rain? 

We had some rain this morning, then the sky cleared and the sun came out. So nice to see it! It was windy and chilly, but I still enjoyed it, though many might not.

I've been watching the Short Film Showcase on Acorn TV. They're quite good. Definitely short. About 10-12 minutes each. Very well done.

Had the call from Muse Margaret - two calls actually. The first call too her to page 167 and she pretty much loved everything. She had a few tiny things and wants me to give a bit more time to some secondary characters - minor stuff, which I can do easily at some point. The second call she sounded really tired and she had one issue that I'd been fearing but she didn't want me to do anything until she read it again in the morning when she's not tired. But I went through those pages and I was feeling what she's feeling when I wrote them, so I highlighted in yellow about two pages of potential cuts which I think will fix it all - I think she'll agree. But while I was doing that, I had a real breakthrough about the rest of the book and I think it's really good and I'll run it by her when she calls. It solves several problems I was concerned about and will make everything work better in the final sixty or so pages.

I did not stay last night and missed some excitement when, apparently, the obstruction resolved.  He feels much better today, but will have laparoscopic surgery tomorrow to see if we can find out what has been causing these episodes (of which this was the most severe). 

Vibes for an uneventful outcome would be appreciated.


Most definitely!

VIBES FOR GINNY’S DH RICHARD!!

At first, she wanted me (as treasurer of TAO) to just get the rights, but it required payment up front ($105/performance) and the purchase of five copies of the script.

So she had me buy one copy of the script for now so that she can make sure that this is what she wants to direct.

And if you broke monologs like this into smaller chunks (like I just did), we could be on page 17 by now!

My desktop computer was running kinda slow, so, for the first time in quite a while, I'm clearing the cache and browsing history to hopefully speed it up.

29 years ago, this night, I came home from karaoke you find my answering machine, flashing red or iMessage. We all remember those machines. Don’t worry even though I knew I was expecting a call from my mom who I’ve been leaving messages for all day, and my sister regular messages went back-and-forth all day while we drive to arrange having lunch with my mom the next day and Martin Luther King birthday. And yet when I saw the red flashing light, my body went cold my legs were like ice.

The message was from the emergency operator telling me I needed to call the King County medical examiner day or night as soon as possible. What happened to the days were police officer came to the door to give you bad news? Anyway I called him ask him my mother was Virginia Birkeland and I said yes and they said oh well she was killed today in a car accident. Not the kind of message you want at midnight on a Sunday night. Actually, not anything you want to get on any night of the week at any time of the day.
