And the word of the day is: RECIPROCITY!
Thank you all for your messages, emails and positive vibes. I slept in...well, overslept...this morning. My body just didn't want to get out of bed today, so I just called work and told them I'd be about an hour late.
So far today feels good. There again, I haven't been in the office to face all of them and their questions yet.
Happy Birthday to Juliana!!
I read the notes BECAUSE of the excruciatingly arch writing style!
Give them a highly melodramatic answer to their questions. They'll be so shocked you'll be treated gently the rest of your stay at MTI.
So you're asking me to tell them the truth? :-\ Or should I present a completely false, really insignificant answer in a highly melodramatic way? I think that'd be more fun... :D
Tell them that you were suddenly overwhelmed by Carrot Stick Girl's absence. :)

BK, have you ever seen the northern lights?
I'm betting that DR Vixmom is fervently searching for a dancing carrot for her page two dance.
Question for BK--do you have any plans to publish DECEIT? (I know I would love to read it.)
I can only remark that I am stunned.
Stunned is the word.
Stunned.
I can no longer remember what words we've had. But, some words deserve encores, don't you think?
Went to the NYC ballet last night. I do the programs for it, so why not? Well, after I watched the first two segments from the audience, my contact brought me backstage to watch SYMPHONY IN C from the wings. I mean I was standing right there watching these ballerinas clown around and make jokes right before hopping out there and doing their thing. It lent a crazy perspective to ballet in general. It seems a lot more athletic up close, I'll say that.
I guess there's no way around....vixmom will now be known as "dancing carrot girl"!
Speaking of THE BOOK OF DANIEL, I was looking up actor D. W. Moffett on the IMDB and see he was in last weeks episode...I wish I had known beforehand so I could have seen it. I like him.
That is what I miss the most about the old, old TV GUIDE...when they would list the guest cast for shows. It was very handy.
But was everything beautiful there?
Actually, he had a recurring role as Daniel's brother. He had had lunch with Daniel's wife and was overseen by the most gossipy woman in town who of course was going to start the rumor that they were sneaking around on Daniel.
Sorry you missed him.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
DR RLP is stunned?
My first question for ASK BK day:
What is your favorite R/H show? Does it have your favorite R/H song? What part in a R/H show would you like to play in a Broadway Revival? What is the BEST production of an R/H show you have EVER seen?
I guess that's four questions!
Why haven't we had any pictorial representations of St. Vitus's Dance?

Last night's "American Idol" auditions from North Carolina were, at their best, a hoot and a half.
I cannot believe most of the wannabes actually think they can sing...how on earth could they?
I could imagine it if they were 10-12 years old...but most were in their 20s...and apparently very emotionally immature and...out of touch with anything remotely linked to reality.
Does anybody know what these contestants are told?
Talking to the Northwest Natural Gas lady and she told me that I might have to pay $2000 to get a gas line to my house, depending on what type of gas furnace is being installed :o
On top of the $3700 for the furnace itself.
She is going to talk to the furnace man and get back to me....that is if my heart hasn't plum given out by then.
D-t-M: The most requested show that isn't ready for release? Lately that's been RENT. MILLIE has also been highly sought-after for many months, but it's about to be released in the next month or so, I believe.
We've also had a lot, and I mean THOUSANDS, of requests for WILLY WONKA and WILLY WONKA JR. The rights are tied up right now, so we can't release either of them, but people are going nuts for it.
And somehow a rumor got out that NEWSIES is being released, which it isn't. If Disney has anything to say about it, NEWSIES will never be adapted for the stage.
The idea is to get it with a stock and amateur house like Samuel French or Dramatist's Play Service. If anyone has a contact at either place, let me know. Otherwise, I'll do it myself, because I should think it's a natural for stock and amateur and regional theaters - a three-hand, one-set thriller.
I can no longer remember what words we've had. But, some words deserve encores, don't you think?
Indeed....like a fine wine....or an excellent BM.
Hell must indeed be freezing over department: I am listening to the OLC of Woman in White and am not, repeat not, gagging.Sadnest news of the day.

Also, what's HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL about? I thought it was going to be a theatrically released movie, and then I heard that it was a movie on the Disney Channel, and then I thought I heard that it's an actual series. The soundtrack is #1 on iTunes currently. Any word on this?
What about Little Women?
Guess what I'll be toting to SFO tomorrow? :)
Well...I wonder how much I could get a bus ticket to DC for...
I'm going to visit her again on the 3rd. Are you going to be crazed this weekend??
I only know we may have to warn the populace.
For Ask BK Day-
What the frell prompted St. Vitus's Dance to pop in your head? Did you receive a Saint-A-Day calendar for Christmas?
;)
Whatever became of actor Rockne Tarkington? This is something that has puzzled me all through my lunch hour.
Jason I wish you a good and bright future. Family dynamics can be difficult to work through, the best of vibes.
For any fans of the forensic mystery series BONES, just a reminder that it moved tonight to Fox's 9 p.m. time slot for a few weeks, right after AMERICAN IDOL.And at 10 p.m. we've a new ep of Good Eats (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_ea/episode/0,1976,FOOD_9956_42127,00.html) to look forward to!
Once the final 12 are selected for IDOL and the eliminations begin, IDOL and BONES will swap time slots.
But for now, you can find BONES on at 9 p.m. Of course, also on at 9 are the smash hit series LOST and the cult hit VERONICA MARS. And there are also those here who like CRIMINAL MINDS very much.
So, I'd call that one crowded time slot!
And yes I am fully aware that "City Of New Orleans" was not a Gurthrie song and won a Grammy in the early 70's.

I just got the loveliest floral arrangement from a very Dear Reader. Thank you so much!!Some of us only get dried arrangements. Of course a few DRs may not like cut flowers (A Tales Of The City reference).
Didgeridoo music MBarnum!
I have actually tried playing a didjeridoo once... An interesting experienceI'll shall leave that for DRs TCB and Elmore !
Between AMERICAN YODEL and a hemorrhoidectomy without anesthesia, I'd still take the second than listen to those singers and the three pontificating "judges" claiming to know what music and performance are all about. The people who end up on that program should be forced to gargle with Drano. Oh, some of them clearly have already.
We were in Cardiff for a day and a half and then returned to Dublin before returning home.
There was a statue near our apartment called The Millennium Child. We walked past it every day going in and out of City Centre in Dublin. This is a picture of Anthony frolicking with the children.
I'll shall leave that for DRs TCB and Elmore !
But how do you REALLY feel? :-*
Hello, Dear Larry and Michael
I know. Too much subtlety has always been my failing.
I'm still stewing about the removal of THE BOOK OF DANIEL from the NBC schedule. Focus on the Family is crowing now about how with their portests and boycott, they are responsible for the show's failure. Well, they certainly scared off advertisers (scary in itself that a group could weild such power), but I know if the show had soared in the ratings, advertisers would have been breaking down the door to buy into the show.
Focus on the Family has been waging a war against DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES since it began, but advertisers haven't backed away from sponsoring it since it's among the five most popular weekly series on TV.

Enjoyed ICE STATION ZEBRA again last night myself. :)

Matt H, some people simply didn’t care for THE BOOK OF DANIEL. I thought it was okay and Keith wanted to turn it off, so we did. We never finished the first episode.
And I'd call it wasting your time on a lot of crap. Horseracing, I guess . . .
Good Evening!
DR Jason- Well... Depending when you want to "escape" from New York, I could always pick you at the bus station aftermy show Friday night.
*Oh, and, yes, those washny.com busses do not run on Saturdays.
...And Steve used to snore in the car, so... I'm used to it. ;)
That's cool, too.
But did you join a coalition calling for its removal from the air so that nobody could see it if they wanted?
The show is pretty good, IMO. I actually think it's quite tame all things considered.
There are plenty of shows on the air that I loathe, but I think other folks should have the right to watch them if they wanted to.
I abhor all forms of censorship...especially when it's root is persecution by religious groups.
I'm producing and writing the spots. They have a voiceover gal, Alysse Beasley (or however you spell her first name).
Allyce
Have fun at the show.
I don't even know what that means.
And I guess porn is the hallmark of time well-spent?I think I spend my time quite well, thank you. A lot of it's spent laughing at myself as well as others.
;)
If this weren’t so sad I could almost laugh at the thought of me joining such a coalition (I know you don’t think I did). I just meant it might not have survived anyway. Knowing people have that kind of power to hurt others scares the heck out of me.
On Friday, the Washington State Legislature will vote (and it is expected they will pass) the Gay Civil Rights Bill that has been debated and then defeated in this state for three decades.
Even before the measure is passed, or signed into law, several good Christian leaders have called for a nationwide boycott of Microsoft and several other major corporations that have dared to place their support behind this "gay agenda." Equal rights is part of a Gay Agenda??? How is it possible that I am 55 years old, and I didn't even know I had an agenda?

Hmmm, got a nice lot of motion picture entertainments from Something Weird Video..a couple of obscure 1960s Italian spy films and a handful of films featuring much of the cast of GOLDILOCKS AND THE 3 BARES! :-X
Oh, stop it. I need those movies for research purposes for somebody I hope to interview.
Really.

I got two brand new used Record Albums at the Goodwill Store today:
The Mitchell Trio (on Mercury) - Typical American Boys
Mike, have you ever thought of trying to interview Jack Larson, who played Jimmy Olsen on the TV version of SUPERMAN. He has had a very very very (that's 3 verys) interesting life!
For those who haven't seen it yet:
The Dreamgirls ala cinema' 8)

Jose: I had totally forgotten that I'd be MTI's representative. I wonder what that means, exactly... Too bad MTI wouldn't offer to pay for me to go down there!Maybe they would if they knew you were going!
I do know, however, that it means that they'd have to arrange a comp seat for me.
