Well, you've read the notes, the notes weren't 100 pages, and now it is time for you to post until the first 100 cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: NIGH!
-
Notes felt. Intuited.
-
I found that video of Man of La Mancha. I'll definitely try to watch it.

At the end of the day, Timothée Chalamet is a modern Chris Makepeace.

And on that note (C-natural)...Wordle 932 5/6

Good morning, friends.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I slept rather well. Because of the snow, it's an exceptionally quiet morning.
-
Yesterday afternoon and evening - between 4:00 and 8:30 or so - were hellish rounds of bad health. That added around 90 minutes to my watching the final four episodes of The Crown.
-
I enjoyed the series very much, but I really detested the music, which sounded at moments to be scored for a Hoover consort of vacuum cleaners or humpbacked whales. One cue, heard far too often, was a horn - French, English, taxi, who knows? - playing V-I, V-I, V-I . . . over and over at various nauseating degrees of loudness.
-
This morning at 10 I will have the phone call I missed yesterday morning.

Good morning, all.

Um…..
Oh my. I do wish I had something a little more important to say.
-
We got sn*w. I believe it’s 3 or 4 inches, max, but it’s also a bit of a mix and there’s a little more coming in the next few hours. So the jury’s still out.

Announcement:
The first eyedrops are in.

R.I.P. Sarah Rice, perhaps best known as the original Johanna in SWEENEY TODD
I haven't seen an obituary yet, but there have been postings on Facebook about her passing.
-
I am up.
Went to bed at 9 p.m.
Out of bed 5 minutes ago at 10:18 a.m.
Thirteen hours of rest. Impossible. Unheard of.
But true!
-
I did have one very hateful dream.
It was another of those "where did I park my car" dreams wherein my car was nowhere to be found in places I normally parked.
And then the quandary began of whether I had actually driven my car or not.
I am not seeking a Dream-O-Matic reason behind it.
I am just wishing those dreams would stop happening.
-
Is today really Sunday?
My calendar says it's so. And it is the 7th day of January 2024.
Only the 7th day?
For whatever reason, the past week has seemed to be much longer than just a week.
Still, it's Sunday...and I shall venture out to Third Generation for my Sunday repast.

Um…..
Oh my. I do wish I had something a little more important to say.

At the end of the day, Timothée Chalamet is a modern Chris Makepeace.
And yet, Chris Makepeace never had the career that Chalamet is having.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Had a vivid dream in which I had been mysteriously teleported to the floor of the church while watching it on YouTube. I had no idea of how I got there. But people couldn’t see me until they came forward for communion. I stayed there until after the service. Then I found that I wasn’t really there.
-
Most definitely a nightmare.
-
Feeling very tired.
-
But not enough to keep us on this page.

Broadwayworld has an obituary for Sarah Rice.

Happy Sunday, everyone! There's a new Broadway Radio Show up on the site as I continue my look at the Best of 2023 with my picks for the Top Ten Vocalist Recordings of 2023. It's a great mix of singers from the worlds of cabaret, jazz and musical theatre...check it out!

AHA!
Sunday.
-
No sn@w here last night and since it is 34 degrees, I don't think we are scheduled for any.
-
Just signed into ZOOM on the Apple device. 8) All ready for Monday night.
That device is in the other room on a table so I will be sitting VERY CLOSE to the screen so I will have a big head closeup.

There’s still time.

Colts failed to make the playoffs. Quelle surprise! :/
-
Close your eyes and think of England.

From DR Rodzinski:
Went to see Wonka this evening. Figured the kids might enjoy it. They did. Me? Well my expectations were low, but I did like the Paddington movies so gave it a shot. Chalamet was ok, inoffensive but missing the wit and menace. Still better than Depp’s Wonka, one of the worst performances ever.
Thanks for the report. I was especially curious after reading an article stating the reason Dahl did not want Wilder cast as Willy Wonka was due to the fact he was very outspoken regarding his antisemitism. Now with Chalamet, another Jew, cast in the role it is sweet revenge.
-
Sunday afternoon greetings! Cold and dreary in SW Ohio today.
-
Colts failed to make the playoffs. Quelle surprise! :/
No playoffs for the Bengals, either. Today they’re playing for Ohio pride, trying to beat Cleveland.
-
I am very pleased that it isn't raining today.
-
At 4:15am Amazon delivered my new fleece lined, tactical style, rain pants. They are a bit big and rustle when I walk, still they are warmer than my other pants and best of all, they have lots of pockets.

Oh, no. :( Her Wikipedia page (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Rice) already says that she died from cancer.

DR JANE I just got an Amazon delivery as well....two of the three books I have ordered.
-
I am antipathetical about the Golden Globe Awards tonight.
I probably won't be watching because....who cares? Since the Hollywood Foreign Press is no longer involved who the heck is choosing the winners? Not that that is a bad thing.
-
The plow guy took two separate passes (because there were two parts to the snowing), and I just used the blower behind the garage and around the house. Nathan’s out clearing in front of his work truck and applying salt and sand in advance of the overnight freeze. Tomorrow should be the only tricky day because it’ll be warming up and raining after that.
And that’s the mid-afternoon repor.
-
Thirty five degrees and cloudy. I'll take it for January in Indiana.
-
Indianapolis Colts.....DR RODZINSKI, don't get me started on that subject.
-
Thank you DR CHAS SMITH....good to know.
-
Yesterday felt like a Sunday, and I kept thinking I was missing the Golden Globes. Today I forgot it really is Sunday, and now I might try to remember (see what I did there?) to actually watch. Or hells bells, maybe I’ll just feel like DVR’ing it.

Sarah Rice was a truly lovely person. We had a nice dinner at Joe Allen when we did the Kritzerland shows.
-
I'm up, I'm up - four hours of sleep - maybe.

No DR JANE in fact it was just delivered in the Sunday afternoon daylight.

I just looked to see the nominations.
-
I am mostly interested in wins for The Holdovers, Paul Giamatti, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph.
-
I can't decide EXACTLY why the Golden Globes are not interesting or important to me this year......I guess it is a personal thing.
Timothy Chalamat or however you spell his name - is also unimportant and mostly irrevelant (sp) to me.....even though I have seen him in a couple of movies.....or perhaps because I have seen him.....he was awful on SNL as well.
-
While Oppenheimer was not a favorite for me I do think Robert Downey Jr. was excellent.
-
DR JANE I agree on those winner choices.....
-
For best series, either All the Light we Cannot See or Lessons in Chemistry. I have yet to see Fargo.
Brie Larson for best actress in Lessons in Chemistry.
Mark Ruffalo for best supporting actor in All the Light, except he wasn't nominated.
-
For best actor in a series, Gary Oldman in Slow Horses or Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us.
-
Best actress in a series, Natasha Lyonne in Poker Face.
-
Best supporting actress in a series, Hannah Waddingham for Ted Lasso.
-
Ah DR JANE we also agree on RDJ, JR in OPPENHEIMER and I am hoping for an Oscar nomination for him.
-
Best actor in a tv series, Jason Sudeikis or Martin Short. Maybe Steve Martin.
-
Ah DR JANE we also agree on RDJ, JR in OPPENHEIMER and I am hoping for an Oscar nomination for him.
Fingers crossed.

Hello, everyone.
-
I feel very lazy today. I went to bed late, which usually means a low-energy day to follow. It‘s certainly that.
-
It’s cold and windy here today. But at least Monday night’s forecast low has been raised from 39 degrees to 42. I don’t like the 30s!
-
Yesterday I spoke to my LA friend who’s now living in Germany. He told me they have a 3 bedroom/2 bath apartment with all the mod cons for $1200/month, and it would rent for $5000 here in LA. The cost of living there is 35% lower overall.
-
DR Jeanne are you thinking of moving?

TTFN.

I wonder what a 3 bedroom/2 bath apartment would cost in New York. I think two-bedrooms can go as high as $6,000 if not more.

Gratuitous Post #102!!

Glad I live in Tumwater, Washington, and my mortgage is paid off!

I only have my HOA dues and property taxes to pay.

Of course I will.

There's popcorn here, too.

When Alicia Malone was wrapping up her Sunday afternoon duties on TCM she signed off with: "I hope Ben Mankiewicz is done messing with his hair, because he's up next with two films starring Charles Boyer......"

I hope that the new storm window is making a bit of difference, then.

Starting Daisy Miller. Not a great film, but I enjoy it. And yes, I think Cybill Shepherd is quite good in it.

Happy that Paul Giamatti and Da’Vine Joyce Randolph (pronounced DAY-vine, I’m told) won Golden Globes for The Holdovers.
-
I think one thing that doesn’t work in Daisy Miller is the handheld camera, especially at the end. It just looks amateurish. And for every shot that’s set up right, there are others that are truly ugly.
-
I think that’s all she wrote for today.
-
Looking forward to the Zoom chat tomorrow.
-
Good night, all.

Page five???

In what uneeeverse?

That is ridic.

Hopefully, George will be along to right this wrong.

Perhaps everyone is saving their thoughts for tomorrow’s zoom.

The talk of the net is some comic I never heard of bombing the opening monologue.
-
I liked the world better when the Golden Globes disappeared for a couple years.
-
This was some sort of zombie Golden Globes. JRand is right. The Hollywood Foreign Press disbanded. Who is even selecting the winners?
-
And some of the talent was still thanking the non-existent foreign press corps!
-
Happy that Paul Giamatti and Da’Vine Joyce Randolph (pronounced DAY-vine, I’m told) won Golden Globes for The Holdovers.
Da’Vine Joy Randolph not to be confused with the devine Joyce Randolph, who turns 100 next October.

Making Ricky Gervais' faux-edgy stand-up look sharp and Jerrod Carmichael's confessional comedy look extra extraordinary, Koy's opening monologue at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards was nothing short of a catastrophe. Jokes that aspired to cutting satire could barely hold a butter knife - throwing shade at Old Dad Robert De Niro? - and the many others that played it safe were first-thought gags, at best....

Midnight west coast time!

Oh, my goodness! Do we really need ANOTHER Frankenstein adaptation??

Sample joke: “Kevin Costner is here. Kevin Costner is never here! He’s usually up on a mountain with a cow.”

Frankenstein Reboot!

Today, we were supposed to have the paper tech at 11:00 am for TAO's next show, Poe Nocturne, an evening of Poe adaptations and monologues.
-
It was a bit of a time-travel affair, over the heads of its audience.
-
Tao was also an album by Rick Springfield.
-
So, that's when I got to the mall where our theater space is.
-
Tao was also an album by Rick Springfield.
Our TAO stands for Theater Artists Olympia. :)
-
Evidently, the lighting guy wasn't going to show up until later, so pug (the director) said that I could come back at 12:30 or so.
-
I hung out at the mall and came back around 12:15 and everyone was pretty much there except for the actors.
-
They straggled in before their 1:00 pm call time.
-
So, we didn't do a paper tech, we just started at the beginning and went through the show with the lighting designer actually creating and adjusting some lights as we went along.
-
He'll add the cues to the scripts and I'll have a go running the light board starting tomorrow.
-
Once I was wandering in the West Village and the movie theater there had a Rick Springfield documentary. A sign said Rick would be there for a Q&A afterwards. I thought, this could be a hoot. Not many people seemed to be in line. I sat through this hagiography with maybe six other people, trying to think what the hell I’d ask Rick Springfield, but ol’ Rick must’ve peeked out and seen how few people were there and took off into the night.
-
It'll be pretty easy running the board.
-
Never update your browser close to midnight.
-
So, the Golden Globes was a bust?
-
Pug seems like a good dude.
-
So, the Golden Globes was a bust?
A Global Disaster
-
I'll have to check out the winners, but the Golden Globes have always been about who gets the most swag from the studios. I don't know why they even bother anymore.
-
Can taste page 7
-
It's mostly just lights up and down, but there will be a few other cues. I'll learn about them tomorrow.
-
New notes are up.
-
It’s not a beloved page but it beats p6
-
Up are new notes.
-
SEVEN!
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
-
I do not care for page seven.
-
Is George updating his browser again?
-
Never update your browser close to midnight.
I didn't have any choice. It just happened. :P
-
Pug seems like a good dude.
Yes, she is. ;)
-
Updating browser is like feeding Gremlins after midnight.
-
I gotta tell you.
-
Rodzinski, exactly.
-
pug's real name is Charlene...and she prefers the lower case "pug" for reasons that I don't remember.
-
I'm not updating my browser.
-
Pug seems like a good dude.
Yes, she is. ;)
I knew that mistake was a possibility but I still made it!
-
I refuse.
-
I will NOT do it.
-
You can't make me.
-
I'll put up a fight.
-
Then I'll put down a fight.
-
She did tell me at one point.
-
Apologies to Charlene aka pug.
-
It's not gonna happen.
-
Fellas, page 8 is possible.
-
Only we 3 can make it happen.
-
I do believe with a little bit o' luck we can get off this horrid page.
-
My echo
-
Apologies to Charlene aka pug.
I'm sure she wouldn't mind...many people do write "Pug."
-
It's coming up soon.
