Well, you've read the notes, you are now with it and happening, and now it is time for you to post until the perfectly perfect cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: SANCTIMONIOUS!
-
Good Morning!
I got carried away checking out the video-blog's of Lestat over on Playbill.com and Broadway.com. Fun stuff. *I actually like the ones over on Broadway.com which include "A Star Diary" with the very lovable and adorable Hugh Panaro. -So that's why we had to stay out of the rehearsal room. ;)
In any case, they're worth checking out, imho. -And it's kind of nice to see how everyone is acknowledging all the changes and work that is being done on the show after it's trial-by-fire-run in San Francisco.
-
TOTD.. Carousel's "If I Loved You"
More later.
-
Ah, Duets!
Well... Off the top of my head...
"The Tennis Song", "What You Don't Know About Women", "You're Nothing Without Me" - City of Angels
"A Man", "Worth It" (which is not published, but worth searching out) - Weird Romance
"What Could Be Better Than That", "Two People In Love", "With You", "And What If We Had Loved Like That" - Baby
-Actually, the Maltby & Shire canon is filled with wonderful duets, my favorite being, "It's Never That Easy/I've Been Here Before" from Closer Than Ever.
"Two Lost Souls" - Damn Yankees
"People Will Say We're In Love" - Oklahoma
"We Kiss In A Shadow", "I Have Dreamed" - The King & I - even though both songs works as solos.
"I'll Make Her Mine" - On the Twentieth Century"
"There's Always A Woman" - Anyone Can Whistle
"If Momma Was Married" - Gypsy
"For Good" - Wicked
"What Would I Do?" - Falsettos
"Love Song", "On the Right Track" - Pippin
"You're Gonna Love Tomorrow/Love Will See Us Through" - the double-duet from Follies
"I Know Him So Well", "No Contest" - Chess
"Forever Yours" - Once On This Island
And... Well, I think that's a good start for now...
:)
-
OH!
"A Stud and A Babe" - I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change
"Pretty Women" - Sweeney Todd - And I guess I would also include the whole "Kiss Me" sequence since it's also sort of like a double-duet at the end.
"Beautiful", "Move On" - Sunday in the Park with George
*Oh... Which reminds me... When I did Sunday at Arena Stage back in 1997 - wow almost 10 years ago already! - we transposed "No Life", I believe, up a key. Which we eventually discovered was the original key - we had come across the original manuscript for it. Also, the "intro" for the song then made sense going into the song proper since the triplet figure in the treble and the moving bass line resolved "properly" in the "new/old" key.
-Interesting the things that come to one's mind during the wee hours of the morning.
;)
-
And since it is the wee hours of the morning - at least here on the East Coast...
Goodnight.

Morning!
I'm off to my first day (sort of) at my new job as the Assistant to the Casting Directors of Dave Clemmons Casting!!
:D

Wow, Joy, that's great! Sounds like you got the big job you were hoping for. Congrats!!!

Good morning, all! I'm sitting here waiting for this storm to hit the City. I will stay in and work on my various and sundry projects, from Toyland to Ziemba.
TOD: My new favorite, because I never heard it until last August, is the final duet "We've Just Begun" from THE GOLDEN APPLE.

DR JOSE has made some good duet choices!
I will add:
Tonight from West Side Story
Barcelona from Company

New job vibes for DRJOY! Finding actors for jobs and vice versa! What could be better?

DR CILLA LIZ - yes, they are. Expect the unexpected and mangled plans for about 2 1/2 weeks more.....by the 18th everything will have settled down.

DR Joy, that's great news on the job!
DR Jose, bubbeleh, you were a boob to leave the City; the storm has begun and the snow (yes, DR Danise!) is beautiful, falling rapidly in big clumps.
So I have the laundry in the washers and I'm settling in for the duration.

The death of Jack Wild at 53 came as something of a shock, possibly becuase his career was at its peak when he was a kid, in OLIVER, HR PUFNSTUF and FLIGHT OF THE DOVES (which I saw over and over), so my mental picture of him tended to be of him as a youngster whenever his name came up. Sad news indeed.

Yes, I think he had suffered from cancer for a few years. I remember an interview awhile back. :'(

Well...to continue the game show response comments from yesterday....again on the original HOLLYWOOD SQUARES:
Peter Marshall: Paul, on his birthday, the nuns give the Pope something special, something that we all want on our birthday. What do they give him?
Paul Lynde: (beat) Johnny Olsen, tell the Pope what he gets! ;D
Sanctimonious! No snow here. Temps in the 40's!

Here's a link to a Jack Wild obit. He had oral cancer and had surgery which prevented him from speaking afterwards. It goes into more detail in the obit.

DR Jane: Apologies for leaving in the middle of the discussion last night.
I shut down my work computer and left for home. Once there, I just didn't log on at all. Had other things to tend to...beans to snap and cook; strawberries to hull, cut up and sugar; and mail to read...lots and lots of mail. And before I knew it, "American Idol" was on....and etc., etc. and so forth.
Now, given something that DR Jennifer has added, I'll conjecture (also given your comment about the kid being fired):
We heard quite a bit of stuff. First, I am under the impression that the boy and the employer (his birth mother) were in some sort of relationship...whether it was ever consummated wasn't alluded to, but I took it that he was infatuated with the boss lady and she had to fire him. Then, as Jennifer pointed out, the doctor followed her son to the workplace and grabbed her son (from the evil clutches of the "other woman"?????), and recognized the boss as her son's mother. And the boss, as the overly (and suspiciously) hysterical doctor drove away, suddenly realized the truth...and ran after them shouting, "He's mine! He's mine!"
I don't have a problem with a locked door because the kid had to have a key. The boss was in the workplace when she was killed and would not have had the alarm activated.
The idea that the birth mother was too "out of it" to remember the doctor is based on the doctor's story...and she was justifying her actions at the time she kidnapped the baby...which means she probably overstated the truth to a considerable degree. The birth mother was not able to defend herself. So...
That's my story (this morning) and I'm sticking to it (for the next couple of hours, since I'm going to a seminar soon).
Re: The vet and those tests (if any). I haven't known a vet who could see an animal and run tests conclusive of anything in one day. I'm not saying they don't exist...my doctor can do some basic blood tests in one day. But, my vet always sent Miss Vickie's blood out....it was always "next day" at earliest.
Still, I know nothing about veterinary practices...perhaps just a superficial examination was all the doctor needed to learn the things he told the father????
-
Good Morning!
Well... The repair man has been here for about an hour and a half so far... Since the repair involved the thermostat, he's been having to cycle the heat pump on and off. In other words... Lots of waiting.

And how "cycled" has your heat been during the process?
Or isn't this one of "those" repairmen???

Trust me, once I heard the forecast, I did consider holding off my trip back down to DC until the weekend in order to be there for the snow today, but since I have to be back by Sunday. Ah, well...
I'll have to check the Central Park websites for pics.

Alas, he is not one of "those" repairmen. Only in the movies...

Re "American Idol"
SPOILER???
I thought last night's stellar performer was Elliot Yamin, followed closely by Chris Daughtry. I don't give a damn what Simon thinks about their song choices, Elliot's voice, range and incredible ability to sing words clearly and audibly regardless of where they fall on the clef...not to mention his emotional interpretations...are unbelievable. It's like he doesn't truly belong on this "amateur" show!
Chris was terrific, too, and he totally blew me away with that "now sound." It's because he, unlike most singers in the top 10 today, can "actually" sing! But he does not have the range or vocal quality of Elliot.
Ace was good, and I agree with MattH that Will was pretty darned terrific, too. Gedeon actually surprised me last night. I'm usually turned off by his egocentric comments (especially in light of some much better vocalists in the competition who are genuinely modest), but his singing was quite good.
I have had more than enough of Taylor Hicks, thank-you-very-much-now-let's-move-on. I agree that David disappointed, but I fear we may be stuck with him for a while because he has those looks and that smile that will have teenaged girls voting multiple times for him. Unless, of course, they don't dig his crooning, chum. And I'm so OVER his style. He has gotten worse each time I've heard him.
Sway and Bucky were okay. Kevin was okay. If we lost any of them, David or Taylor, I'd be fine with it.
I think the cream has risen to the top on both groups...and the rest are curdling away...for at least two more weeks, too, before they get down to six men and six women.
A miscalculation, I think, on the part of the Idol producers who must have thought it wouldn't be this clear at this juncture in their prolonged pre-Idol competition attack on the air waves.

Last night we watched TRANSPORTER 2. Keith kept saying “suspending disbelief”.

When I saw Jack Wild three or four years ago at the Ray Courts show (which would have made him 49 then), we were all shocked - he looked 70.

Good morning!
ANother gorgeous day, and it's already in the 70s heading toward 80 today.
But that's supposedly it for awhile. Back into the 50s for highs the next few days. I saw my neighbor in shorts and a tee shirt while I was getting dressed. It's still cool inside my house so I opted for jeans and a long sleeved shirt.
-
Enjoyed that wedding picture yesterday, DR Jane. Just like that SHENANDOAH picture I posted a couple of weeks ago, it's impossible for me to think we were ever so young.
-
When I read the topic of the day, the first duet that poppped into my mind was "You're Just in Love" from CALL ME MADAM.
But there are so many thousands of others that I adore.

International Ideas Month
International Mirth Month
National Craft Month
Irish-American Heritage Month
National Athletic Training Month
Youth Art Month

I really had planned to record the IDOL results show tonight so I could speed past all the filler and just get to the eliminations. But, SMALLVILLE is a rerun, DEAL OR NO DEAL plays again tonight instead of WILL & GRACE/FOUR KINGS and I'm not into SURVIVOR, so I guess I will watch it live and just do other things during most of the show.
-
And, for the foodies amongst us (and we know who we are), March is:
National Caffeine Awareness Month
National Flour Month
National Frozen Food Month
National Noodle Month
National Peanut Month
National Nutrition Month
and
National Sauce Month.

Yesterday, I got the soundtrack CD of THE PIRATE and have been enjoying it yesterday and this morning.
I find it amazing that for many years, what MGM passed off as the soundtrack for THE PIRATE was made up of other takes of songs (particularly "Love of My Life" along with a very abbreviated version of "Mack the Black") rather than the versions actually used in the movie. Wonder why they did this?
-
And, more immediately, today is World Book Day.
(I'm pretty sure this has to reading and celebrating them, and not making.)
-
Well, the various film versions of TEN LITTLE INDIANS/AND THEN THERE WERE NONE aren't as good as her novel because they're all based on Christie's play version, not on the original novel.
It's funny that of the four filmed versions of the play, each one got successively worse. The final one with Frank Stallone is practically unwatchable and makes no sense.
-
Enjoyed that wedding picture yesterday, DR Jane. Just like that SHENANDOAH picture I posted a couple of weeks ago, it's impossible for me to think we were ever so young.
Speaking of Shenandoah, a new production of the musical will be playing at the Ford's Theatre (http://www.fordstheatre.org/Pages/home/home.htm) in DC, from March 17th to April 30th. The lead role of Charlie Anderson is being played by Scott Bakula, according to the ad der B and I saw in the Washington Post. We're hoping to head down to see it, probably on a weeknight.
-
Jose, great bridesmaid story!
I REALLY made an effort to find nice dresses. If I had known a dressmaker at the time I would have had more options, alas I was young and ignorant. As Penny mentioned, my mother, knowing my friends didn’t have much money offered to gift the dresses. She was a very thoughtful and generous in many ways. Thank goodness cause after Penny & Marsha complained profusely, and still do, about the dress I didn’t feel so bad since it was a freeby. ;D

Continued MEDIUM Spoiler:
Why do you believe the kid ever had a key? At the opening of the show, two employees were standing outside waiting for the manager to let them in. Obviously no key. BTW, the manager called the doctor/mother because the kid continued to hang around after she had fired him.
End of round four. See what happens when I actually watch a show with the rest of you! Shall I return to watching days later? ;D

Very interesting discussion about monday's MEDICUM
Now, given something that DR Jennifer has added, I'll conjecture (also given your comment about the kid being fired):
We heard quite a bit of stuff. First, I am under the impression that the boy and the employer (his birth mother) were in some sort of relationship...whether it was ever consummated wasn't alluded to, but I took it that he was infatuated with the boss lady and she had to fire him. Then, as Jennifer pointed out, the doctor followed her son to the workplace and grabbed her son (from the evil clutches of the "other woman"?????), and recognized the boss as her son's mother. And the boss, as the overly (and suspiciously) hysterical doctor drove away, suddenly realized the truth...and ran after them shouting, "He's mine! He's mine!"
I don't know if we are supposed to assume that the boy and the birth mother were having an affair. In the beginning I thought that might be the case. But I think we are just supposed to assume that they had a connection (and didn't understand what it was, but it was because they were mother and son).
I don't think the birth mother had any idea of this fact until she recognized the doctor the night before her death.
I don't have a problem with a locked door because the kid had to have a key. The boss was in the workplace when she was killed and would not have had the alarm activated.
The idea that the birth mother was too "out of it" to remember the doctor is based on the doctor's story...and she was justifying her actions at the time she kidnapped the baby...which means she probably overstated the truth to a considerable degree. The birth mother was not able to defend herself. So...
I agree about both of these points.
Re: The vet and those tests (if any). I haven't known a vet who could see an animal and run tests conclusive of anything in one day. I'm not saying they don't exist...my doctor can do some basic blood tests in one day. But, my vet always sent Miss Vickie's blood out....it was always "next day" at earliest.
Still, I know nothing about veterinary practices...perhaps just a superficial examination was all the doctor needed to learn the things he told the father????
I really don't think the vet giving him the info is such a big deal. 99% of viewers will not have the expertise that DR Jane has, and whether it took a few hours or a few days, all that really mattered was that the dog was sick.
I think the thing about shows like MEDIUM is that the writers don't tell us every little thing. They make us think and this is good.
I still really liked this episode but still don't fully understand what it had to do with alison's dead son. I guess her instincts were to protect this boy because he was good. I also wonder why she dreamed her son was the boy jesse. Had she seen him before at the coffee place. Weird.
-
Scott Bakula should make a fine Charlie. Do you know who's doing the choreography? That show was probably harder on my body than any other dancing show I ever did. The two numbers the brothers have ("Next to Lovin'" and "It's a Boy") were done a la the barn raisin' in SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS. I remember having to do a leap off of a wishing well (wearing boots) while executing a Russian split, and it was murder on my knees.

Why would the kid have to have a key? The manager was at the store, she could have easily let the doctor/mother in. And the doctor/mother could have simply locked the door on her way out.

I will definitely watch SURVIVOR over the IDOL results show. Last week was an exception because I had 3 little girls who wanted to watch that. But I can't imagine anyone who watches both tuning into IDOL. Although I guess it depends which show you prefer. I will tune in at the end though to see who goes.

Did you see that THE AMAZING RACE got off to a slow start in the ratings the other night? It finished third in the time slot at 10, not a good sign when that's to be its new home.
(Usually in two hour episodes of these types of shows, the show builds in ratings over the course of two hours. RACE lost viewers in each half hour of its two hour show.)
I wouldn't be surprised for CBS to reverse its decision in a couple of weeks after THE UNIT premieres at 9 and flip-flop the two shows.
-
I shall now be on my way to LACC, after which I shall return.

Hmm... The repairman is still puttering away... -I think the light rain we've been having this morning has slowed down his work. Electricity and water is never a good mix.

Jeff Calhoun is the Director/Choreographer - with an assist, the last time I checked, from Noah Racey. It's basically being mounted by the same crew responsible for the Theatre DeafWest production of Big River that was in residence at Ford's last spring.

I really really hope this is the case. TAR is not a show that should be on at 10pm. I think it's a huge mistake.
Btw, can you tell me how many millions watched first hour and second hour?
It was just too late. I'm sure many people had to record the second half.
-
Time to get ready for work.
We won't be going to Philly tonight, as previously planned. Between today's weather conditions and der B already knowing the area fairly well, we should get by on Saturday.
But der B has been drafted to ladsit on Friday, while I'll be working. Their mother pulled one of those "they want you to be there for them" cons, very purposely taking advantage of der Grampa with an unhealthy smidgen of guilt thrown in.

Thank goodness cause after Penny & Marsha complained profusely, and still do, about the dress I didn’t feel so bad since it was a freeby. ;D
Lately, I've noticed a new and cool way to deal with bridesmaid dresses... The bride picks out the fabric and color for the dresses, but leaves it up to her bridesmaid to pick the pattern/design. She sends out a couple of yards of the fabric to each of her bridesmaids. And if the bride is being particularly generous, then she let's the dressmakers for her bridesmaid invoice her for the cost of making the dress.
My friend, Tracy, has had two friends get married over the past year... And she's managed to get two very nice dresses in the process... And she can wear them to places other than weddings.
:)
-
I think a major problem with the initial TAR episode was that the helicoptor/motorcycle task took much, much too long. It easily took up 45 minutes of the final hour. I know I was getting bored with it.
And DR Jen is right--TAR needs to be on at 9:00. It's a good show for families to watch together and 10:00 is too late.
-
DRs SWW and DerB - Be thankful you weren't heading into DC this morning. Horrible accident on the Beltway this morning right at the 270-split. Basically, a tractor trailer overturned on an overpass... The load of fencing panels and lumber fell onto the roadway below... Has basically snarled the traffic in the area all morning, and will basically keep it backed-up through the afternoon rush hour due to the clean up involved. Just a total mess, and, unfortunately, there was one fatality.

Hi folks!
Just wanted to pop in before I take my walk down to the bottom of the street. I'm trying to build myself up.
I got dressed for the first time yesterday and took my first walk but it tired me out so badly that I had to lay down when I got home.
Last night I couldn't sleep so I played a little Rummy against the computer.
I also want to thank you all again for the lovely flowers. Here are some pictures.

Thank you all once again for all of the good thoughts and vibes. I'm sure they are playing a very large part in my recovery.
I was so sorry to hear about Jack Wild. Like many of you, he was a part of my childhood.
What I remember most is that both my girlfriend and I had the biggest crush ever on him. We each wrote him a long letter of little girl love and rushed to send them off to him, hoping against hope for a reply from our hero.
Well, he answered both of us. A post card. The very same post card gving us the date and times of HR PuffNStuff. A commercial. I think we both felt like the little boy in "A Christmas Story" with the decoder ring. :-\ :)

Pacific Northwest gang, how about lunch or dinner on Friday, June 30th?
-
In the "Wouldn't you know" department. I found out that they have just (as in days ago) come out with a newer version of the camera I wanted and it has the one feature that I really, really, really wanted. The anti shake.
I can honestly say I am not that thrill with the pictures I got from the camera I bought (the Casio EX-Z750)--I posted the best pictures I got from it but many of them were blurred and unuseable.
Since I have 21 days to return the camera I bought, I think as soon as the doctor releases me to drive on Tuesday, I will be taking it back and will wait for the new model (Casio EX-Z850) to come down a little in price.

My friend Noah Racey is choreographing.

DR Danise, good to see you up and about. I've been watching the snow and thinkig about you all morning.

I also want to share this photo of Bear.

DR Elmore, This is one heck of way to spend ones vacation time. I wish I was flying to NY so I could see the snow.
-
Pacific Northwest gang, how about lunch or dinner on Friday, June 30th?
Count me in!
-
LOL! I love the pic of Bear, DR Danise! And glad to see you up and posting more!
-
Good Afternoon!!!!!
Well... I just had an "emergency call" from Orlando... I might be flying down there in a few hours for the weekend to play some auditions.
We shall see...
-

I call him my old man. See the grey on his chin?
It's hard to believe that just one week ago today I was still in the hospital. I'm doing so much better every day that goes by. I was having such a hard time doing little things like getting out of bed or even turning in bed but it's getting easier.
I think the walking will help. I don't go far. Just down to the bottom of the street and back.

Re "American Idol"
SPOILER???
I thought last night's stellar performer was Elliot Yamin, followed closely by Chris Daughtry. I don't give a damn what Simon thinks about their song choices, Elliot's voice, range and incredible ability to sing words clearly and audibly regardless of where they fall on the clef...not to mention his emotional interpretations...are unbelievable. It's like he doesn't truly belong on this "amateur" show!
Chris was terrific, too, and he totally blew me away with that "now sound." It's because he, unlike most singers in the top 10 today, can "actually" sing! But he does not have the range or vocal quality of Elliot.
Ace was good, and I agree with MattH that Will was pretty darned terrific, too. Gedeon actually surprised me last night. I'm usually turned off by his egocentric comments (especially in light of some much better vocalists in the competition who are genuinely modest), but his singing was quite good.
I have had more than enough of Taylor Hicks, thank-you-very-much-now-let's-move-on. I agree that David disappointed, but I fear we may be stuck with him for a while because he has those looks and that smile that will have teenaged girls voting multiple times for him. Unless, of course, they don't dig his crooning, chum. And I'm so OVER his style. He has gotten worse each time I've heard him.
Sway and Bucky were okay. Kevin was okay. If we lost any of them, David or Taylor, I'd be fine with it.
I think the cream has risen to the top on both groups...and the rest are curdling away...for at least two more weeks, too, before they get down to six men and six women.
I'm not sure what others think, but I don't think giving opinions about American Idol performances is a spoiler. Saying who got voted off is a spoiler. Although i guess it's good to just keep the space, just in case.
I'm not as in love with the guys as I am with the girls.
But I think Chris has surprised me. I really really liked him last night.
I also think Ace is really good. He has the right look.
As for Elliot, he was really good last night and he has a nice sweet personality. But there is something about the way he looks that needs to go. I can't quite put my finger on it. His clothes are nice. Maybe it's his buzz haircut with his ears sticking out. Or maybe it's the funny bangs in the front of his hair. Or his teeth. But he just doesn't look like i think the winner needs to look. And i'm not sure if he can get the fan support.
I do not like Jose. I do not like Gideon (his comments always put me off as well). But he was decent last night.
I was not expecting to like little boy (kevin). But he was sweet and very likeable. And i enjoyed his performance.
I like Taylor hicks a lot, although last night was not so great.
I also normally enjoy bobby brady and crooner boy. Although neither really appealed to me last night.
Bucky sounds good mostly, but he seems so shy and doesn't have a personality that catches me.
I'm not sure who will go since there are always suprises. Although it won't be ace or chris. I suspect taylor has many fans too. I thinking jose and bucky are at risk. I"m hoping for the women it will be brenna and konnik (although it could be melissa or heather too).

DANISE! Glad you are up and at 'em!
I'm sure Jack Wild would have written you personally, if he only knew how cool you are!

Man, some good ones have been named...
Bosom Buddies
Past My Prime
What do the simple folk do?
-
I have been running around this morning at appointments ans then catching up here in the office so here I am finally!!
-
Sorry but I don't watch American Idol.
We watched that "Deal or No Deal" the past two nights. I like it.
Well, I need to take that walk. Have a good afternoon in case it tires me out like it did yesterday. I'll try to post again this evening.

I loved the wedding picture Jane... I want more!!!
Danise thak you for the flower photos, I am glad that the reality lived up to the website picture.
I am glad you are feeling better but please do not push yourself. As for flying up here to be in the snow... gosh I'd like to fly down there to get out of it!
The grass is always greener......
-
I wonder if Jose will need a page turner.......
-
hint hint
-
"Oh Happy We!", Candide.
"The Grass Is Always Greener", Woman of the Year. If Barbara Cook and Elaine Stritch are not available, it should be sung by DRs Jose S. Piano and FJL.
"The Apple Doesn't Fall", The Rink.
"One More Kiss", Follies.
"Penniless Bums", Haines His Way er, I mean Sugar.
"Little Red Hat", New Guy in Town, I mean 110° in the Shade.
"Poems", Pacific Overtures.
"Class", Chicago. (Didn't work in the movie--wonderful on stage.)
"Sunday", Flower Drum Song. I don't know, this tune seems to run through my head every Sunday morning of my life. Especially the lyric "...with nothing to do." And then I remind myself of all of the undone things around the house...

Thank YOU for the thinking of me.
I feel like a lazy butt and really I should be back at work. I'm already getting itchy to get out and about. I guess that's a good sign.
Wanna trade places for a few days? ;) :D
-
DR DANISE great Bee Photo and Bear Photo. The bears and the bees!
LOL....been thinking all morning, and DRWFO added my two additional duets with is list:
Oh Happy We and Pitiful Penniless Bums.....
Isn't Namely You a duet as well?

Actually I wish the weather had stayed dry for a couple of more days. The Vixter and her Youth Group at church asre participating in the "30 Hour Famine" where they fast from noon tomorrow until 6 pm on Saturday, to raise money for World Vision International. Tomorrow I will be taking the afternnon off from work so I can chaperone a group going to businesses to raise money, and Saturday I will be chaperoning a group standing in front of one of the local supermarkets where they will be trying to collect "non-perishables" for the community food pantries. Although we knew it would be cold we were at least hoping it would be dry... I am not looking forward to several hours of standing in the snow, especially as with the ongoing fasting there can't be any coffee or hot chocolate to help warm us up.....
ah well all for a good cause.....

Who IS this stranger?!!!

Wouldn't this be cool?
Lisa Rinna from Dancing with the Stars2 may return as cohost for the show!

Welcome back dear reader WFO!!!! You have been missed!

Warning Warning "Uncle Bill"... expect a "Would you like to sponser me?" call from the Vixter!!

There may be snow on the Upper West Side but down here in Chelsea which, as we all know, is the center of the universe, not just the world ;) it has turned to rain. If this keeps up we will not be getting the up to six inches of white, fluffy snow. Oh, well. I'll be back at work tomorrow. No chance of the office closing for rain.
-
Oops, I forgot to mention "in Tacoma". Are you still in?
Oh, bother. Hmmm...that might be a bit far to go on a Friday..but you never know! I might!
-
Back from my walk.
Is it Girl Scout Cookie time?
-
Oh, bother. Hmmm...that might be a bit far to go on a Friday..but you never know! I might!
Oh, come on, DR MBarnum! You're world will not come crashing down if you only end up watching one Bollywood movie that weekend!
;D
-
Well...
I'll know by 3:00 whether or not I'll be heading down to Orlando bright and early tomorrow morning...
Guess I should do some laundry... Oh.. and get my hair cut too!
-
Oh, bother. Hmmm...that might be a bit far to go on a Friday..but you never know! I might!
I hear you always go too far on a Friday night.
-
I hear you always go too far on a Friday night.
SSssshhhhh!!!!!!! I told him I wouldn't tell anyone else about... Oh.. well...
Nevermind.
;D

As we get closer to our trip I'll know how much time we will have in Portland.
Speaking of trips I have to order everything for our new guest bathroom before I leave on Wednesday. We are going to visit family in LA before I attend a wedding shower.
I’m very stressed as the new furniture hasn't arrived yet. There will be someone here while we are away so the furniture can be late, except I need to see it before I order the faucets, tile, etc. for the bathroom.
-
Oh...
And after "Sandy" - at least that's what his name tag said - installed the new part, he found out that the compressor is bad. So... At least my parents have an extended warranty/insurance on the unit, so...
Guess this might not be the right time to ask them for money then.
;)
-
Back from my walk.
Is it Girl Scout Cookie time?
I heard so on the news yesterday.
Vixmom are you accepting orders?
-

I can see it now...
"And this year we will be presenting one special Girl Scout with an award for having the most orders from different parts of the country. Well... Countries - She had orders from Australia and France as well.!"
-
DR Doctor WFO - If by default Jose and I have to do "The Grass is Always Greener," which one of us do you see as Stritch and which one of us do you see as Cook? Just wondering. :)
-
Vixmom - How does ordering cookies through the Vixter work? Do we have to pick up the cookies on Long Island or do the cookies get sent to us?
-

LOL and selling cookies while fasting... now there's dedication for you!!

Hmmm... I think some lunch would be a good thing... Although, I'm not sure I had breakfast... So...
::)
Laters...
-
Vixmom - How does ordering cookies through the Vixter work? Do we have to pick up the cookies on Long Island or do the cookies get sent to us?
If you order from the Vixter I will ship the cookies to you and I will pay postage as my donation to the cause. ;) What I did last year was pay for the cookies up front and then lanyone who bought just sent a check to me! Actually, last year we had DR Penny O's play so a number of us were in NYC for that and I brought the cookies with me!
-
DR Doctor WFO - If by default Jose and I have to do "The Grass is Always Greener," which one of us do you see as Stritch and which one of us do you see as Cook? Just wondering. :)
Just as long as I get the prettier outfit...
-
I am still trying to think of something for the topic of the day.
-
TOD...most of the ones I thought of were "taken" by time I got here but I don't think anyone hasmentioned "One Hand, One Heart" from West Side Story yet, or "I Know Him So Well" from Chess
two of my favorite duets
-
Vixmom, when do you need the orders by?
-
I am still trying to think of something for the topic of the day.
Any favorite Bollywood duets?
-
Jose, you'll look smashing and elegant in a South Beach chic outfit, while I'll wear my usual Barbara Cook shmata with the butterfly.
-
DR Doctor WFO - If by default Jose and I have to do "The Grass is Always Greener," which one of us do you see as Stritch and which one of us do you see as Cook? Just wondering. :)
Well, since I suspect DR Jose has been around the block more than you - he's a tramp, but I love him - I suggest you, DR FJL, will do Barbara's part.
-
What are the cookie flavor choices again?
-
Yes!
I love the fact that only DR Jane, my fave Nursie, would get a radio alert on cookies.
DRvixmom, please send rates and types of cookies ASAP.
-
Duets for MBarnum's list - "Sari Grateful" or else "Whose Sari Now"
Maybe "Good Golly Miss Bolly"
Or else "I Like Your Style" from BARNUM :)
Not quite a duet, but there's also "The Sari with the Fringe On Top"
-
Definitely put me on the list for ordering cookies. Is there a website to see the offerings?
-
I just tried something new for lunch - Progresso individual microwave soup, chicken & wild rice with veggies. It was very good!
-
Also interested in Girl Scout cookies. We've already had some delivered locally. My manager's daughter was in last Friday and didn't have change for me until she made a few more deliveries. Her mom told her to go ahead and give me my cookies. Avery handed me the bag and very sternly said, "Don't eat any - you can only smell them!"
-
DR Danise - it's so nice to have you around during the day - just wish you didn't have to be recovering from surgery in order to be here!
-
Thank you, thank you for the interest.
http://www.littlebrowniebakers.com/cookies/cookiepages/thinmints.html
this link should take you to a page wher you can see all the varieties. Click on each name on the left and the details about each cookie should pop up. (I'll check to see it works)
All cookies are $3.50 a box and I beleive she can take orders for the remainder of this month. Thanks!
-
I hate to say it but I feel sooooo tired right now. I think a nap is in order.
I am interested in the cookies. I l ike the shortbread type.
I'll be back later. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
-
Looks like the link worked!
-
Before I go....
Thanks DR Ginny. I will be back tonight. I need to start to get back to normal.

Will you still hang with the rest of us? ;D
-
Do they really HAVE to have the calorie count for each cookie next to the cookie description? :)
Does it make a difference whether one orders early or do all orders get sent out at the same time anyway?
I think someone on here described my feelings about ordering things, that I place my order and then immediately go to the door waiting for what I ordered to arrive. :) :)
-
Alas, HE POSTS!
:)
Alas? Alas? Did somebody say Alaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas?
No thanks.
But a lad might be nice.

Oohh... Page Six Dance!
Hmmmm....
Is there an Official Girl Scout Cookie Dance?
-I know there is a "dance" one does when one gets those boxes of cookies in hand. And then another one when one takes a bit of said cookies.
*My favorite is the one I do when I take a bite of a Thin Mint Cookie that has been stored in the freezer. :)
-
Rain is here...
Good thing DR SWW has let us know that it is National Umbrella Month!

Since the "pre-orders" already went in, I think anything I order now I will have with a week or so... then you are depending on me getting to the post office but since I notice that my local p.o. just put in an automated express shipping center accessible during "off" hours I should be able to get them out rather quickly.

You think that's good, try a ice cream sandwich cookie made with french vanilla ice cream between two frozen mint cookies... ah decadence!!

Well, given the reports of DR Jose's recent positive skinniness--I guess he will have to do his Stritch schtick. (Say that five times rapidly.)
I note that Doctor WFO is just a letter away from Doctor WHO.
And all and sun-dried should be aware that in the new Dr. Who which plays this month on the SciFi channel in the U of S of A, John Barrowman has a recurring rôle.

Who IS this stranger?!!!
My name is Bill, and I am a Wussburger.
However,
1. We admitted we were powerless over Wussburgerness; that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to posting.
etc.
But now, with the sleet, but not much snow yet, I must hie myself home before the traffic gets really horrible, all my classes being over.
Laters.
And I mean that... most sincerely. (Oh, a Bridge Over the River Wye reference!) ;D

So... What's the latest Snow Report from NYC?
-
Any favorite Bollywood duets?
OH sure...but I was under the impression that the TOD was "stage" rather then movies.
Now, when we do movies I will certainly have many.
-
Vixmom - In terms of making shipping easy, is there any ideal number of boxes of cookies in an order? 10? 15?
WOW!! That's the kind of buting attitude that makes a Girl Scout sit up and take notice!!
Well there are twelve in a case if you want that many of one type!! LOL!
Last year most people just ordered a couple of boxes and I put them in an express mail box from the post office.
Any and all purchases are most appreciated :-*
-
So... What's the latest Snow Report from NYC?
Just a smattering left on the ground and it seems to have turned to rain

This year's official Oscar gift basket is valued at a whopping $100,000-plus and is filled with so many fabulous freebies that it would likely give goodie-grubbing Star Jones an aneurysm. USA Today and the Chicago Sun-Times break down the deluxe details ...
The bag's biggest big-ticket item is a four-day stay at the swanky Halekulani Hotel on Waikiki Beach. The $25,000 vacation package features accommodations in the 2,135-square-foot Vera Wang suite, a round-the-clock butler, spa treatments and dinner at the resort's five-star restaurant.
The pampering continues with a bevy of beautifying offerings from the Cornelia Day Resort in New York ($2,500), a Frette cashmere and leather-trimmed travel blankie ($1,495) and a vintage silk kimono from Kay Unger ($500).
But wait, there's more -- much, much more. Other luxury loot includes a pearl and diamond necklace ($1,300) and hotel stays at The Carlyle in New York ($2,300), the St. Regis Resort in Monarch Beach, Calif. ($5,700) and the Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley, Calif. ($2,500).
And for those celebrities looking for the perfect item to regift to their hard-working assistants, household staff or second-tier relations, there are a few lower-end items, including a Krups espresso machine package ($600), a Vonage broadband phone system ($550) and a year's supply of olive oil ($550).

I was wondering when they were going to break the news. However, I do wish some of the "dream cast" people they had asked early on had said, "Yes." I would have loved to see Carol Burnett and Elaine Stritch on the same stage!

What?!?!?! No Girlscout Cookies in this year's Oscar's Bag-O-Swag?
-
Ah, well...
The "musical emergency" down in Orlando is no longer an emergency. There was someone else on-site. Damn him!!!

However, it's always nice be to wanted.

Welcome Back Danise!! ;D ;D
And those are very nice flowers and pictures of the flowers...and I love the picture of Bear! :D
-
Pacific Northwest gang, how about lunch or dinner on Friday, June 30th?
Where?? I have no plans...anymore. ;D
-
DANG!And who's more wanted than you?!
Well, it was more like who was cheaper and closer. ;)
But, seriously, the head of SETC, Betsey Baun, was all set to fly me down tonight if needed. She's the best!
-
Oops, I forgot to mention "in Tacoma". Are you still in?
Thanks...I just came across this post. ;)
-
I think I have been hanging around DR Elmoore3003 too much!
Or on the fire-escape and leaving your underwear behind.

I just got in from my walk, too. Exhausted but how beautiful a day it is!

Nice to see DR WTO posting among us again. Welcome back!

Had a friend drop by wanting to listen to A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC. Totally unfamiliar with it (can there be such a person connected with theater who didn't know this score? Well, there was but no more! Naturally, he was astonished to find out "Send in the CLowns" came from this score).
The local auditions for the show are a week from Sunday, so he wanted to hear it to see if he wanted to bother trying out. He's probably going to go with me to the auditions but isn't sure now if he's going to audition or not.
-
Then, I proceeded to catch up with the last two episodes of CSI: NY which I hadn't been able to watch.
Last week's episode concerned a death in a doll hospital. (Yep, you read that right). Good episode and a surprising killer.
-
Ah, Duets!
Well... Off the top of my head...
"The Tennis Song", "What You Don't Know About Women", "You're Nothing Without Me" - City of Angels
"A Man", "Worth It" (which is not published, but worth searching out) - Weird Romance....
Jose, the two Weird Romance songs have been published in the songbook, but it's now out of print. I have it. I looked on Amazon.com and someone is trying to sell it for $73.79 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0897241851/sr=8-1/qid=1141334276/ref=sr_1_1/002-7701208-5864855?%5Fencoding=UTF8)!! :o
And two of my favorite duets: "Beauty That Drives a Man Mad" from Sugar (although I do prefer, and have actually performed, the version that was used in the London production of Some Like It Hot...we had it transcribed from the recording ;)) and "We Are Women" from Candide.
There are also the Singer's Musical Theatre Anthology Duets books.

Last night's two crimes were certainly unusual.
One was set at an exotic food party where such gourmet dishes as fried tarantulas and broiled centipedes were among the dishes consumed. (It was death by octopus in this case.)
The other involved water gun wars (instead of paint gun wars which I was familiar with.)
-
DR Jennifer, I will try to go back and see about the viewership in millions for the two hours of THE AMAZING RACE. Not making any promises that the stats are still there, but should be able to get it in the archives.
-
Actually I wish the weather had stayed dry for a couple of more days.
Wanna trade?

Why do you believe the kid ever had a key? At the opening of the show, two employees were standing outside waiting for the manager to let them in. Obviously no key. BTW, the manager called the doctor/mother because the kid continued to hang around after she had fired him.
End of round four. See what happens when I actually watch a show with the rest of you! Shall I return to watching days later? ;D
Okay...hmmmm....how about this:
The birth mother let the doctor into the shop. The door was locked from the outside, but could be opened from the inside. When the doctor left, the door locked behind her.
Plenty of shops have doors like these!

My name is Bill, and I am a Wussburger.
However,
1. We admitted we were powerless over Wussburgerness; that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to posting....
Welcome back, WFO!!
My excuse for being a late night Wussburger...a power bill of $131.99!! :o For only ONE MONTH!! I can't afford to stay up and have my lights on anymore! :(

Or on the fire-escape and leaving your underwear behind.
Oh...is that where Larry made him hang them out to dry after Mike washed them?

Jose, the two Weird Romance songs have been published in the Weird Romance songbook, but it's now out of print. I have it...I just looked on Amazon.com and someone is trying to sell it for $73.79 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0897241851/sr=8-1/qid=1141334276/ref=sr_1_1/002-7701208-5864855?%5Fencoding=UTF8)!!. :o
And one of my favorite duets: "Beauty That Drives a Man Mad" from Sugar (although I do prefer, and have actually performed, the version that was used in the London production of Some Like It Hot...we had it transcribed from the recording ;)) and "We Are Women" from Candide (if it hasn't been mentioned yet).
There are also the Singer's Musical Theatre Anthology Duets books.
Hmm... Maybe I'm thinking of another Weird Romance duet? Hmm... Or maybe I have the title wrong, but I thought "Worth It" was not in the book - which I have. Hmm...
I'm thinking of the one in the first act...

MattH... I had a horrible time trying to watch last night's CSI... it was disgustingly awful... peopel paying $10,000 to eat what should be remioved by an exterminator?!!! And as for eating a live anything... part from how disgusting it is its also cruel!!
-
Jose... snow alert... it has returned just in time for rush hour... blech!
-
DR Jennifer, the ratings were as follows:
AMAZING RACE 9-10 p.m. - 10.7 million
AMAZING RACE 10-11 p.m. - 9.9 million

Wanna trade?
YES!

I completely agree with you. I had to turn away with all of those "goodies" whether they were eating them or not.
Completely nauseating for me.
-
THE AMAZING RACE ratings, BTW, were down 17% from the same premiere a year ago on basically the same date. Of course, the competition was not the same a year ago.
-
But I think Chris has surprised me. I really really liked him last night.
I also think Ace is really good. He has the right look.
As for Elliot, he was really good last night and he has a nice sweet personality. But there is something about the way he looks that needs to go. I can't quite put my finger on it. His clothes are nice. Maybe it's his buzz haircut with his ears sticking out. Or maybe it's the funny bangs in the front of his hair. Or his teeth. But he just doesn't look like i think the winner needs to look. And i'm not sure if he can get the fan support.
Maybe it's the overwhelming talent he possesses that sets him apart. He definitely doesn't belong in the competition because he's much better than any of the others, including Chris!
-
For the longest time, I got Chris and Elliot confused because they both look alike physically...and they're not far apart facially, either.
-
I'd have to say that if Elliot doesn't "look" like a potential winner, then Chris is also doomed.
But both put all the pretty boys in the competition to shame..
-
Hmm...
Very interesting weather-related factoid on the news...
It's currently 39 degrees in Frederick, MD.
It's currently 77 degrees in Spotsylvania, VA... Just about a two hour drive from Frederick, MD.
Hmm...
-
Does Elliott have all American good looks? Nope, but for some unfair reason, I think they seem to have different standards for the guys than for the girls. You can be overweight (Ruben) or not, and they won't make a comment. But some of them think nothing of singling out girls who don't conform to some standard (in their own minds) of looks. That's one of the things that really bothers me about them (particularly Simon).
I also get very angry over their harping about making "safe" choices. If those songs are no worthy of being sung, take them off the list of potential songs. If the songs are there, they should be available for singing without the artists being fearful of being accused of playing it safe. The point is to show their voices in their many colors and through many emotions. Not many songs out there can do all of them within one song. Rather, we get that from a range of performances over many weeks. There is nothing safe about the song "Lady" if you don't have the voice to sing it in the first place. And if you do have the voice, there's nothing wrong with it as a choice for a particular week.
-
I've been trying to make labels for some DVDs I've recorded these past months, but nothing comes out the way I want it to look. I need more practice in digital arts.
-
Page Eight Cookie Dance!!!
(A character from one of Disney's more forgettable animated features, ATLANTIS.)
-
And then there's this guy, who's about as bland as they come, IMO....and Elliott looks every bit as good, if not more interesting, to me. Certainly, Elliot has a better vocal delivery/range.
-
For the longest time, I got Chris and Elliot confused because they both look alike physically...and they're not far apart facially, either.
They also wore close-cropped beards that wrapped around their jaw lines. I believe Chris had shaved his off last night.

And then, there is Chris Elliot:

Back from a really good and interesting musical theater workshop (MTW). We discussed the duets situation and I gave them all your suggestions. I then asked certain people to sing their songs again, after having had time to digest the notes that were given, and what a difference. Suddenly we had some self-assurance where there had been quaking nervousness - one girl got up, took the stage and never let it go, singing Astonishing from Little Women. No, she doesn't have the best voice I've ever heard, but she "got" the song and delivered the song and it was like watching a different girl. Tammy's Little Lamb was much more real and therefore much more affecting. Her friend Lauren's I Will Be Loved Tonight suddenly became a song of joy rather than depression or anger and it was like hearing a new number. A couple of the guys were 100% better than before.
I then picked up some packages and even got a few more DVDs, including a three DVD set of Soupy Sales for ten bucks. Also, some region 2 stuff arrived, including The Barbarian and The Geisha, Bigger Than Life, Miracle in Milan and a couple of others that aren't available in region 1.
-
OH!
I didn't realize that both Elliott and Chris both have Richmond (VA) roots.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch is running an "AI Blog"... Here's the first entry... And it's about Elliot's style and styling...
The Elliott Look (http://www.timesdispatch.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=RTD/MGArticle/RTD_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1137834395640)

And then, there is Chris Elliot:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/WandaDuck/9964.jpg)
And he's not even a singer!!! :D
-
I hope you are feeling better today Dan !
I am slip slidin' away!!!
-
I have to say that Elliott's jazz interlude last night was my favorite performance of the evening and so different from anything I've ever heard on IDOL that I was captivated. And beneath it you can tell he has a really strong voice, pure tone and is capable of lots of moods with it. I am hopeful he stays in so we can hear more of what he has to offer.
-
Also got Second Act Trouble after a lot of trouble with amazon. Short story version: My preorder was still sitting there unshipped on Monday, after everyone else had gotten there copies. I cancelled the order and put one day shipping (cheap for amazon prime members) for the new copy. They attempted to charge my card, but had a hiccup (on their end, not mine - no prob with my card). They sent me an e-mail asking me to retry the card, which I told them to do. On Tuesday afternoon it still hadn't shipped, and I called and they told me they'd retried the card, it had gone through and that the book would ship and I'd have it yesterday. Yesterday, it still hadn't shipped. I called and this time the gal refunded my money and canceled out the order and put in a new one for free - that shipped and arrived today. So, I got the book for free.

They can be very generous when they've made an obvious series of mistakes. I ordered an I LOVE LADY set, and after delays, I got three single discs of THE LUCY SHOW. I sent them a note about the error, and they credited my account for the full amount, let me keep THE LUCY SHOWs, and sent the I LOVE LUCY set gratis.

Here's a photo 'essay' from the Times-Dispatch article:
(http://www.timesdispatch.com/servlet/Satellite?blobcol=urlmainpicture&blobheader=image/jpeg&blobkey=id&blobtable=MGImage&blobwhere=1137834397771&ssbinary=true)
Elliott as himself - Elliott as Justin Guarini - Elliott as Chris Daughtry - Elliott as Ace Young
;D
-
Was Elliott the one last night who was so impressed with meeting Justin Guarini. No, it was probably one of the younger contestants.
Anyway, I think Ace and Chris are his main competition on the male side.
-
And all the men are going to have to face down with Paris, Lisa, and Mandisa from the female side. I would be very surprised if one of them doesn't make it to the finals.
-
I didn't think I'd be back until after dinner at home, because I left here a little after 4 to attend a sparkling 35th anniversary event at a local nonprofit agency. They are downtown, but far enough away from where I work and park that I wanted to move my car over there. After trying for half an hour to find a safe-looking parking space, I gave up and came back to work until the official end of my workday at 6pm. And the Dayton city geniuses wonder why people won't come downtown?
Anyway, here I am, with no bosses around.
-
But, seriously, the head of SETC, Betsey Baun, was all set to fly me down tonight if needed. She's the best!
DR Jose - is that the conference where DR Jason is representing his company? Sorry you weren't whisked away to the sunshine.
-
After reading bk's description of the Dick Cavett set, I went to read another review on another site today and learned that Lucille Ball is on this set when Cavett interviewed her during her publicity tour for Lucy/MAME.
bk, you MUST tell us some of her comments about the making of this classic misfire.
(I am ordering this set myself today.)
-
Heading down now to clean my bedroom and then settle in for some TV watching tonight. Not nearly as crowded a line-up as the last few nights (which pleases me mightily).
WBBL.
-
Whew am I tired!!! I decided to go ahead and take the day off and move the rest of my stuff. I wanted to do it Saturday but the weather prediction is rain/snow/sleet and having to do something I'm totally dreading in that weather...well forget about it.
So it took 3 trips with the Prius stuffed to the gills. Thank god I have the hatchback, or I'm not sure I could have gotten this done. Now I can go over and clean this weekend while the handyman does a little fix it job. Then it will be time to let my realtor see it and get it on the market. My realtor wanted me to leave some furniture, but I didn't want to. Now he's laughing because I told him he can't see it until everything is out and I have the place cleaned and ready to go.
Now, omg I have to put away ALL THAT STUFF!!!!
-
Better go - I have to get my butt to a surprise birthday gathering. I'm not big on these things when I'm tired, but she made it to my birthday so I really have to go to hers...laters
-
Got the news that I was not cast in the NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY gig I auditioned for last Saturday - they "went another direction" - which was Non-Equity. The only people there at the audition were four women (including moi) for the Mother/et al roles, and four men for the serial killer. I was the only Actors Equity member there - the other seven were non-Union. The other two parts had already been cast with Equity actors. Small theater, limited budget - required to cast at least half with Union actors. They did that.
I think they went with the 45-ish actress who wowed us all - I really did feel I was a close second to her - and they save about $3500, which is usually a life-saver for a small theater. I don't feel bad about it - the producer called and said they like me a lot, and want me to come down and do "something else" if I would be so kind.
Plus - and this is a big plus - the gig runs April 4-June 4, seven shows a week, 2 shows on Saturdays and Sundays. So Saturday, May 20, they play 2 shows. And Saturday, May 20, is my sister Tami's only child's wedding, at which I am supposed to sing and kvell. I woulda missed it, to do the performances. Now I don't gotta. So maybe I'll try to sell 'em JEWISH THIGHS for next season?
-
And all the men are going to have to face down with Paris, Lisa, and Mandisa from the female side. I would be very surprised if one of them doesn't make it to the finals.
After Tuesday night, I'd agree that Mandisa and Kellie are stiff competition.
Lisa's in there, too....but I'm thinking Paris is going to out-cutesy America to death if she's not careful.
-
By the way, the word on the Idol blogs is that Elliott wears an insulin pump and has had juvenile diabetes since he was 5.
-
DR Jose - is that the conference where DR Jason is representing his company? Sorry you weren't whisked away to the sunshine.
Yep, one in the same. And I've played for this conference/auditions for the past 15 years. However, whenever the conference has been held in Florida, I always seem to miss it - Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville, and now Orlando again. Guess someone is trying to tell me something.
I don't feel bad about not heading down there tomorrow, it really is the thought that counts. -Apparently, the auditioning companies miss me too. :)
*However, the extra cash would have come in handy right now too. I even had some companies call me over the past few days asking if I would be available to play their callbacks at the conference. Thankfully, Lestat payroll kicks in in two weeks.
:)
-
DR PennyO - On to bigger and better things!
*I almost thought you were proposing performing Jewish Thighs at your niece's wedding. -Now would that be something?!?!
;)
-
LOL, boy am I out of it....I went to the surprise party and boy was I surprised....it's next week...LOL I can't believe that I did that.
And I checked my email. The client set for a plea tomorrow has now decided to go to trial. So, at least things are interesting.....
-
Well, the various film versions of TEN LITTLE INDIANS/AND THEN THERE WERE NONE aren't as good as her novel because they're all based on Christie's play version, not on the original novel.
It's funny that of the four filmed versions of the play, each one got successively worse. The final one with Frank Stallone is practically unwatchable and makes no sense.
Did you count in the Bollywood version?
-
At least I'll be home for the Skating with the Celebrities final. They are doing their free skate part of the program tonight

Pacific Northwest gang, how about lunch or dinner on Friday, June 30th?
Dinner sounds good to me!
-
My friend Noah Racey is choreographing.
Just how good of a friend is he, Lar?
-
Count me in!
Michael, you are going to cross the stateline into Washington?
-
Wouldn't this be cool?
Lisa Rinna from Dancing with the Stars2 may return as cohost for the show!
http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/report-dancing-with-stars-2-lisa-rinna-return-as-third-season-co-host-3989.php
Well, that is one less show for me to watch!
-
LOL, boy am I out of it....I went to the surprise party and boy was I surprised....it's next week...LOL I can't believe that I did that.
I remember doing the same thing with Steve's birthday. I got it stuck in my head that it was May 25. Nope. May 27. Of course, the date only stuck in my head after I had surprised him with his birthday gift... On the 25th. So, he ended up with an early present on the 25th and then a nice dinner on the 27th.

;D
That picture is really cute. And while the long hair doesn't really suit him, he looks much better as Ace. The hair covers his ears (which he needs). And the bowl cut is gone. I think he could look good. Although DR Ron, you really think he is more attractive than Justin Timberlake????
I don't find that Chris and Elliott look at all alike. I think chris looks better with the shaved head and beard than he did before.
I would think it would be chris/elliott/ace. But you never know. The teeny bopper girls have huge votes. And not sure if they will vote for ace, or someone younger like bobby brady or blonde boy kevin.
As for the girls i definitely think paris will make it far. I think most people love her. And lisa too. I think katharine and kelly will also go far. Not 100% about mandissa. I know she has a nice voice. But not sure she will have the fans.

BREAKING NEWS!
In an attempt to thwart the spread of bird flu, George W. Bush has bombed the Canary Islands.
I think also he may plan to bombTurkey, the College of Cardinals, Cardindals and Orioles spring training and Frank Perdue.
-
DR TCB why would you stop watching because of Lisa Rinna? Or was that a joke?
-
I hope you are feeling better today Dan !
I am slip slidin' away!!!
I am feeling so much better today, DR Vixmom. Thank you!
-
Just how good of a friend is he, Lar?
Not as good as your fantasies, DR TCB!
Speaking of friends, I had a lovely phone chat this afternoon with David Chase, who did the dance and vocal arrangements for THE PAJAMA GAME and the London GUYS AND DOLLS with Ewan McGregor. He stays busy; he's currently working on THE WEDDING SINGER! They're recording PAJAMA GAME on Monday.
-
Well, that is one less show for me to watch!
I'll drink to that!
-
...And I still remember thinking - when I six and/or seven years old - that Christmas fell on December 26. And that Christmas Eve was December 25.
...And I think that came from mid-hearing - and then mis-singing - "Fum, Fum, Fum" at a Christmas pageant...
"On December 26th sing
Fum, Fum, Fum...."
::)
-
LOL, boy am I out of it....I went to the surprise party and boy was I surprised....it's next week...LOL I can't believe that I did that.
Better a week early than a day late! ;)
-
DR TCB why would you stop watching because of Lisa Rinna? Or was that a joke?
Because he, like me, is sick of moronic reality television, especially moronic reality television with desperate second-rate stars. Give me the D-list celebrity Kathy Griffin who laughs at herself any day. Of course, I can't state these are DR TCB's feelings; I'm putting words in his mouth. The sentiments are all mine. I looked at the latest reality lineup in the new TV GUIDE and thought, shit.
-
The gift bags are only for the presenters aren't they? Even so, that Vera Wang suite is going to be awfully crowded!
-
I have this odd urge to watch PETER PAN with Mary Martin. I think I'll give into it.
-
Heading down now to clean my bedroom and then settle in for some TV watching tonight. Not nearly as crowded a line-up as the last few nights (which pleases me mightily).
WBBL.
Hmmm, the weekend is almost here and Matt is cleaning his bedroom? Sounds to me like someone's fella must be feeling a lot better!
-
By the way, the word on the Idol blogs is that Elliott wears an insulin pump and has had juvenile diabetes since he was 5.
Yes, Elliott is one of two of the twelve male finalists who is diabetic.
-
At least I'll be home for the Skating with the Celebrities final. They are doing their free skate part of the program tonight
I'm looking forward to that, too, DR Cillaliz. And as soon as it's over, I'm going to bed. The eventful way our week started at 2am Monday has finally caught up with me and I'm exhausted. Only one more day to work before a 3-day weekend and tomorrow I have a seminar at Sinclair Community College that I can just let wash over me.
On the health front, DH Richard is fine - cooked us a yummy chicken and rice dinner tonight. His mother is back in her apartment. It turns out the sister-in-law with whom I was peeved for not doing the errand she promised for our MiL had come down with the family flu - sorry, JCP! Couple of times today, I felt a little "balmy" and wondered if it was hitting me, but I think it was just that the building in which I work is very hot. Even the customers are complaining.
-
DR TCB why would you stop watching because of Lisa Rinna? Or was that a joke?

Don't you have a think for collagen lips? I refuse to believe those are real.

How could I have left this one out? DH Richard and I used an instrumental version of it in the pre-ceremony music for our wedding!

T.O.D.
A Boy Like That from WEST SIDE STORY
One More Kiss from FOLLIES
YES!
I love playing "A Boy Like That". The piano/vocal score arrangement is very gratifying. And it's so neatly constructed. Great "use" of the 6/4 time signature. And the end of the bridge, "One of your own kind. Stick to your own kind..." - amazing how it the "beat" works there.
And hearing Licia Albanese and Erie Mills sing "One More Kiss" on the Follies: In Concert recording always brings a tear to my eye.
-
Just watching "American Idol"...
:-\
???
-
I just finished Jane Glover's wonderful MOZART'S WOMEN and recommend it wholeheartedly. Her chapters on Mozart's sister, wife and sisters-in-law after his death and the publication of his music are quite fascinating, and it's a very different, much more positive, picture of the composer and his relationships than that of AMADEUS. It's got me interested in hearing a lot of his music I don't know; last weekend I listened to LA CLEMENZA DI TITO, the opera seria he wrote while he was composing THE MAGIC FLUTE. I didn't know the opera and it provided several glorious hours of music last Saturday. I may listen to it again this weekend and follow it with my orchestra score.
DRs Ginny and Jane, your book groups should read this book and do a little listening along with the reading.
-
Still watching "American Idol"... which is wrapping up here on the East Coast...
SEMI-SPOILERS
Someone shoot me now!
Or, better yet, shoot the "judges".

Just watching "American Idol"...
:-\
???
Did you lose a bet?
-
Hmm... So... "Lost" or "Skating With The Stars"...
Or Dinner?
;)
-
I suppose I shall now be on my way to the theater. I think it's an extremely light house tonight, so I may not stay. But, I'll run some things with Matt and Tammy to get them back in performance mode, and I hear tomorrow is a bigger crowd.
And I've just been given tickets to the STAGE benefit next week, so that's nice. I haven't attended since the last one we recorded, which was back in '98, I think.
-
Did you lose a bet?
No. Some things just aren't worth betting on.
-
Hmm... So... "Lost" or "Skating With The Stars"...
Or Dinner?
;)
Turn on to MY NAME IS EARL. It's quite a hoot tonight.
-
Oh, no "Lost" tonight, I guess...
Think I'll just turn the TV off for a while.
;)
-
Turn on to MY NAME IS EARL. It's quite a hoot tonight.
Or is "Lost" on Wednesdays? I forget. Just don't watch prime-time TV regularly.
OK... Now on NBC.
-
OH! I think I was mixing up my "Islands"... "Lost" is on Wednesdays, "Survivor" on Thursdays.

Went Sondheim Crazy on EBAY the last couple of days and got SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE on vhs - didn't have a copy....CD of GEORGE...A CELEBRATION AT CARNEGIE HALL, DVD & CD, vocal selections COMPANY, published scripts for COMPANY & INTO THE WOODS & GEORGE.
ALL with shipping for less than $40.

Hi WFO!

Well, second rate stars have to make a living too, you know!
Oh really??? Then why isn't anyone paying me?
-
Well, second rate stars have to make a living too, you know!
And when they drop to third-rate, you can interview them! :-*
And I'd much rather read about their exploits in your interviews than watch a series of shows proving that the dumbing down of America has become the media's chief function, as proven by the ratio of watchers of AMERICAN YODEL to a public television event like BLEAK HOUSE or LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER. It's one thing to miss a subscription channel likeShowtime or HBO because of financial concerns, but public tv is free.

I am taking my sister to the airport in the morning at 4 am....her flight leaves at 6 am.....and I have to WORK the next four days, taking her shifts on Friday and Monday.

Making up for all that lost time, huh? DR JRand55, I'm now reading THE PARTY OF THE CENTURY, about Capote's black and while ball at the Plaza after IN VOLD BLOOD was published. I think you'd be amused by it.
-
Oh really??? Then why isn't anyone paying me?
Because you're first-rate in my book!

JRand55, I thought you should know that 3 NUTS IN SEARCH OF A BOLT is coming out on DVD next month! LOL!
Mamie at her finest, I am sure! ;D

I can't believe I misspelled IN COLD BLOOD! That'll teach me to get on my high horse.
After seeing CAPOTE, I'm considering reading IN COLD BLOOD again. It's been a long time since I read it. My parents let me watch the movie when I was probably too young to watch it. We lived down a long driveway with no neighbors right nearby, I had nightmares for weeks.
-
Well, my secretary failed to call me to tell me that one of my clients wants to back out of a plea we need to enter in the morning. Oh, she sent an email, but I didn't check the office email until tonight. She knew I had my cell phone, but didn't call. My client's number is unlisted, so I had to go to the office about 7:45 to find his number and call him.

Perusing Amazon and dropping various and sundried things into my wishlist...I love when Amazon gives you recommendations! I always end up finding some nifty things that I would never have found before...anyone ever hear of Mindy Carson? Well, hot dog if she isn't one pleasant sounding singer!
...and into my wish list she goes...

Hello everyone, sorry for being E&T but this has been one hell of a week.
Lots of stressful stuff happening with my cases at my internship right now. I'm not making the mistake of thinking these things are any reflection on my skills as a therapist, but boy are they stress inducing and a lot of work. I feel emotionally exhausted. But while challenging, I am getting a lot of valuable experience that will benefit me once I am in a full time position.
-
Jane, I loved the photo you posted last night from your wedding.
-
Jose, I got a kick out of the bride's revenge story you posted.
-
Danise, the photo of Bear was precious!
-
Big hit with "Wake the Town and Tell the People" in 1955 Michael. I think she had Ray Conniff producing her tracks.

My 2 cents on Medium... does this still count as a spoiler??
The vet thing- Didn't they drop the dog off at the beginning of the day and then pick him up after work? I got the impression he had been there all day. Also I could swear that I thought the vet said something to the effect of: I can tell you that he's old, at least 12, and I can already tell that he's got some liver problems. Which to me meant, just by preliminarily checking him out I can tell you it's not good, there are probably another ton of problems that I would uncover by doing further tests.
I feel like I had some other really prolific oberservation to share with you all but for the life of me I cannot remember it. All this talk of locked doors has me thinking back to my days of working at Togo's trying to remember how the lock worked. Oh yeah!!! Point number 2, get ready folks!
The employees were standing outside waiting for the manager to come unlock the store and open up. At any point did anyone try to open the door? Did they say it was locked, did anyone check or did they just assume? I distinctly remember Allison breaking the window and the alarm going off. What if the door was unlocked the whole time?!

On the TOD, I have really enjoyed reading everyone's posts on the TOD, I don't have anything to add. All my faves have been mentioned.

Good Evening!
I did indeed turn the TV off earlier... which turned out to be a good thing...
I sat down at the dinner table with my parents. Flank steak and baked tilapia. YUM! And my Dad brought home some Mango-Lime Salsa he got at Costco - Good Stuff! Has a nice kick to it too.
I also managed to get my friend, Chris, in California a photography gig this weekend. My friend, James, in NYC is with a photo agency and was short a photographer or two for some Oscar events this weekend. So... Through the wonders of IMs... Chris will go on a "trial shoot" tomorrow, and if it works out, he may end up working some of the parties and events this weekend. OHH!! Wonder if he could snag a Swag Bag. -And I actually think I get a finder's fee too! Bonus!
-
Question- what do you wear to job fairs? Does it have to be a suit, or can it be something suit-esque?
I just found out on Wednesday that the Jewish Board job fair is on Wednesday- one week's notice! They organized it in favor of current interns: hour one for Jewish Board interns only (that's me and about 100 others), hour two for other graduating MSW students only, and then hour three for graduated/current social workers. But they only gave us a week's notice to pull together our resumes and be prepared for "possible brief interviews" Eek!
That was one stressor this week...
-
I also heard from DR Jason. He was calling from Orlando. Outside. In a short sleeve shirt. 60 degrees. Ah, must be nice. ;)
He's having a great time - very busy first day, but he also ended up running into his undergraduate theatre professor. And I think he mentioned something about singing earlier tonight too. -I'll need to clarify that later.

I visited the children's psychiatric unit of a hospital for the first time today. That would be another stressor from this week.

Depends on the focus of the job fair and/or what kind of jobs and employers you're interested. Dress well, but if you know you don't want to be working "corporate", then don't dress corporate. Then again, with dress codes nowadays, who knows? -And I don't envy women trying to find appropriate business wear. Just too many styles and choices to pick from.
-

Well, when I get back... and get my check... Slurpees all around!

*I'm lovin' the new 7-11 on 42nd Street across from Port Authority. Great selection, and good, "regular" prices.
-
Or... We could head over to the new Chipotle on 9th. Apparently, they have wonderful margaritas!
:D

I agree about the corporate thing. I feel like because it is a job fair and I'm entering a licensed profession, I should look professional, more so than I would during my day to day work. But I don't want to look like I'm going to an interview with a fortune 500 company. Right now all I have is a black suit, which worn with a button down shirt would so not be me. Well, I guess it would be me testifying in court. But not me, the soon to be social worker/child therapist.
I'm going shopping this weekend in the hopes I can find something at H&M or Loehmans to wear under the suit that will make it appear approachably quirky fun-spirited. ::)

What!? Chipotle has margaritas??
Also, I am so excited about 7-11 but have not been there yet. I am a super fan of the super big gulp- you could live on one of those things for days!! (and I did when I was in college)

I just had a weird thought. What if Chipotle used my avatar with my above quote as a marketing campaign.
Chipotle has margaritas!

Snow update: A light dusting sticking to everything in our neighborhood. I was in the Bronx early this morning and it was coming down pretty heavy in big wet flakes. At about noon folks started becoming concerned about whether or not it would be safe to drive home and were making plans to leave early. I went from the Bronx all the way down to the west village by 1:30 and it was raining with nothing sticking. At about 3:45 it began to hail, and then it appeared to be snowing again by 5. When I left work at 9, the skies were basically clear. Thus ends my career as a weather reporter.

Yep, they have margaritas! While on lunch break the other day, I was surprised by the beer case behind the register. And then I noticed that a woman came up to a register, and asked for "Two....???" - I missed the rest of her question. Then a few minutes later, a server came out with two margaritas and brought them to her table.
"So... Is there a rule about drinking during the course of the rehearsal day?"
;D
-
"So... Is there a rule about drinking during the course of the rehearsal day?"

There is, and I think it goes something like: don't get caught.

That's what we all figured. But we were sure tempted. And those margaritas sure looked good.

OH!...
And there was another Lestat update on Broadway.com today. Who knew production managers could be so cute?!?
:D

I haven't been as angry in quite some time as I was tonight with Paula and Simon making moronic jokes at soul-crushing bad news for the IDOL semifinalists.
I cannot imagine what they were thinking acting so immaturely when those people are going through the humiliation of rejection. Yep, we all have to suffer rejection at points in our lives, but these folks are getting rejection in front of 30 million people live and those fools are cracking in-jokes among themselves as if nothing mattered but their good time. Outrageous.
I think they should offer apologies next week to those contestants.

Totally agree - thus my "Shoot the judges" comment earlier.
I began to think that Paula was back on her pain-killers again. It was very strange to see her being so non-compassionate and inconsiderate.
However... SPOILER AHEAD -SORT OF
Those "farewell performances" were truly painful. "Cause when I'm bad, I'm so, so bad...." -Couldn't agree more!
-
As for the singers who were eliminated tonight . . . .
spoilers - - - - --
I had no problem with any of them. I do feel they were the four weakest singers left in the competition, and I was so delighted with Brenna being eliminated that I wouldn't have cared which other girl was selected. I just wanted her gone. Lots of unnecessary drama and egotism are gone with her elimination!
-
I was in shirtsleeves tonight too taking my recycle bin to the curb. But our warm streak is going to be over after today. Much colder this weekend.
-
And as for the first woman singer eliminated tonight....
Even her smugness during her "Goodbye" speech(?)... UGH! However, I think I detected a tear or two in her eyes as she was singing. Or maybe they were crocodile tears.
-
Before IDOL came on, I watched about 20 minutes of CONEY ISLAND, another Betty Grables movie featured on the Fox Movie Channel today and recorded on my DVR.
Like THAT NIGHT IN RIO which I picked up on the DVR yesterday, the Technicolor is simply luscious for CONEY ISLAND, and it makes the tepid color in much of PIN UP GIRL's DVD a real puzzle. Still don't understand why it was selected for a DVD when other Grable movies look so much better (and are better films, too!)
CONEY ISLAND has George Montgomery and Cesar Romero as the male leads, far superior to that lackluster John Harvey in PIN UP GIRL.

The rampant ego of Brenna saying to Clive Davis to "offer me some money some we can make some money" or something to that effect was just absurd. Sure, he's going to sign someone who couldn't even make it to the finals!

For a change, I recorded MY NAME IS EARL and THE OFFICE to watch CSI "live" instead. Interesting case concerning a body found stuffed in a chimney.

WITHOUT A TRACE also had a gripping hour tonight with an abducted child of a man working for a pharmaceudical firm. No idea who the perpetrators were until the end.
-
Glad to hear from those who have already seen MY NAME IS EARL and THE OFFICE that the shows had good nights. I'll be looking forward to watching both of them tomorrow.

Jose, I just caught your post from a few days ago where you said you attended a group sales event for Mary Poppins- did you see our mutual friend?
Also, I too have a parrot head umbrella. We had the opportunity to purchase "exclusive" London only merchandise when the show opened. I felt I had to have one.
-
I visited the children's psychiatric unit of a hospital for the first time today. That would be another stressor from this week.
Yes, the children's psychiatric unit tends to be quite stressful.

Good night all. I have to log off so that Rodzinski can post.

No, I did not see our mutual friend. However, BK's friend, Richard Sherman, was part of the grand presentation.
-
No, DR TCB, sad to say no fella visit this weekend. His aunt died yesterday, and the visitation and funeral are going to tie him up for the weekend. And next weekend, I'll be concentrating on the audition for A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, so who knows when we'll have time for more than just lunch?
-
Looks like CBS is counting on great things from the new military drama THE UNIT. Ads for it just blanketed CSI and WITHOUT A TRACE tonight.
And, I have to say that they didn't tweak my interest one little bit about checking it out.
-
A question about SURVIVOR. I'll put spoiler space even though I don't know the name of the ejected player. . . .
spoiler - - - - -
Was this guy some kind of bad sport or what? To spend his last on-camera moment bad mouthing the other players on his team just seemed like the worst kind of sour grapes to me. Or did he have legit reasons to be so angry and bitter?

LP cover of the night. A tribute. This is from the motion picture, not the TV show. Features Jack singing with Martha Raye on the song "Zap the World" wherein he hits one of the highest notes I've ever heard someone sing.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b52/Maclord/Pufnstuf.jpg)

I'll never forget Martha Raye being interviewed on some show - Johnny Carson perhaps - and was asked which of the movies she made was her favorite. Without hesitation, she said PUFNSTUF. (I was hoping she'd say JUMBO).
-
Heading off to bed now.
Good night, all!

Cass sings the enjoyable tune, "Different."
-
Big hit with "Wake the Town and Tell the People" in 1955 Michael. I think she had Ray Conniff producing her tracks.
I love that song, I didn't realize she sang it..or was she part of a group? I do know Mindy sang with Paul Whiteman at some point.
-
I think she sang with Whiteman in the late forties Michael. Her "Wake The Town" was "solo". Les Baxter's version was slightly more successful and thus more likely to get airplay as an oldie.

You will look lovely no matter what you wear...and just be yourself at the job fair...anyone would be lucky to hire someone as kind and as dedicated to helping others as you are.

And remember this TPunk...as I work in personnel, I know...the interviewers are sometimes just as nervous, maybe more so, then the interviewees! LOL!

Well.... After getting to bed late night last night/this morning... And then having to get up "early" today to be on Repair Man Watch... I'm officially pretty zonked right now. So...
Goodnight.

I played the 45 rpm from the HR PUFNSTUF TV show over and over when I was a kid. I remember Witchiepoo's "Oranges Smoranges" and Jack Wild's delicious renditions of "Mechanical Boy" and this from "How Lucky I Am."
In this whole world of people
Who can't get along with people
I picked myself a people
And what have I got?
A jackpot.
Never got to see the PUFNSTUF movie, though. I'll have to remedy that.

Back from a really good performance, about which more later. Must sit on my couch like so much fish and eat.

I watched "My Name Is Earl," which I like a lot. However, I can't watch "The Office," at all. The more I try, the less I can stand it. I don't know why, it just grates me the wrong way. :P But I'm happy that you (and obviously, many others) like it. ;)

Hi folks!
Just wanted to pop in before I take my walk down to the bottom of the street. I'm trying to build myself up.
I got dressed for the first time yesterday and took my first walk but it tired me out so badly that I had to lay down when I got home.
Last night I couldn't sleep so I played a little Rummy against the computer.
I also want to thank you all again for the lovely flowers. Here are some pictures.

For a thursday night, it was oddly busy... I was also doing research for a paper I am owrking on for my Anthropology class on Native Americans of the Great Plains. I am doing a paper on media images and cultural portayals.
I came across an article title that bites... "The moccaisin on the other foot : fighting the whities...."

Well, given the reports of DR Jose's recent positive skinniness--I guess he will have to do his Stritch schtick. (Say that five times rapidly.)
I note that Doctor WFO is just a letter away from Doctor WHO.
And all and sun-dried should be aware that in the new Dr. Who which plays this month on the SciFi channel in the U of S of A, John Barrowman has a recurring rôle.

Wanna trade?
Sure.... It is cold and snowy here...

Hmm...
Very interesting weather-related factoid on the news...
It's currently 39 degrees in Frederick, MD.
It's currently 77 degrees in Spotsylvania, VA... Just about a two hour drive from Frederick, MD.
Hmm...
That is normal on the Plains DR Jose. For example the other days Cilla had 60 degrees and we are only a few hundred miles away and we had 28 degrees..
-
Whew am I tired!!! I decided to go ahead and take the day off and move the rest of my stuff. I wanted to do it Saturday but the weather prediction is rain/snow/sleet and having to do something I'm totally dreading in that weather...well forget about it.
So it took 3 trips with the Prius stuffed to the gills. Thank god I have the hatchback, or I'm not sure I could have gotten this done. Now I can go over and clean this weekend while the handyman does a little fix it job. Then it will be time to let my realtor see it and get it on the market. My realtor wanted me to leave some furniture, but I didn't want to. Now he's laughing because I told him he can't see it until everything is out and I have the place cleaned and ready to go.
Now, omg I have to put away ALL THAT STUFF!!!!
Good move, we are getting icky weather tomorrow...
I send unpacking vibes your way.....

How goes the battle of life George?
Slowly. ;) Otherwise, not too badly. I'm actually thinking about applying for a load to buy a condo! There's a place that's pretty close to where I work that has a couple of units for sale. My sister works with a woman who lives there, so I'd like to talk to her about how it is to live there. And since I just paid off all (both) of my credit cards, I have more money per month than I've ever had before! No savings, but more take-home. ;D
