I made one for a person saying "I dont want a snack, I want a STACK ATTACK" STACK = STeve + Jack

I'm up at 3:45 a.m. because I had a headache...sinuses, and all that, dontchaknow!
I decided to take something for it, but I was feeling a bit clogged in my throat (phlegmwise), so I did some gargling to dislodge "stuff". Afterward, swalloing a couple of sinus tabs was a breeze. However, during my gargle, I got a bit of warm water on my face and realized that I was going to have to shave in a few hours. So....
Now here I sit, headache mostly gone, a clean-shaven to boot.
The sandman is working hard to move me from this here chair over into my warm bed (warm because the air is still and it's a bit "close" but still comfy).
What better way to spend a few quality moments early in the a.m. than visiting here and posting some thoughts?
Nothing, that's what!

My Uncle Lester loved the works of Ezra Pound.
My Uncle George teased him a lot about it, too. He loved to call my Uncle Les "quid", because that was the British reference to the word "pound" as a monetary unit.
Many a time would quid 'n'unc-le George go at it, leaving the rest of us laughing gleefully.
-
I'm sorry, but it's not yet 4 a.m.....that's the best I can do for now.

I just tried to post something else and got a Database Error screen. My post is gone.
This forum is not yet free of whatever malady it had yesterday, IMO.

Good news about DR JANE's friend.
Snake pictures!!
Kitty pictures!
Thanks to all for the kind words about TSOM photos at the link I posted yesterday. Tonight is opening night. I will not be there, I am working, but it seems to be a bit cooler today which is good.
We are sold out tonight and tomorrow night....in fact are selling at 93% right now. So.... $$$$$!!!!!

Work today. :(

TOD:
I liked the VALLEY OF THE DOLLS dustcover, and the paperback covers, both the original and the movie tie!
I like the movie tie covers of the paperbacks for THE BEST OF EVERYTHING and PARRISH.
There is a bio of Bob Fosse called ALL HIS JAZZ that has a terrific rainbow illustration of a Fosse figure on it.

I guess one of my all-time favorites is the cover of Wouk's YOUNGBLOODE HAWKE with a pen in an inkwell.....

Good morning, all! I have a day mostly out of the apartment: Toyland and the NYPL Theatre Collection. I'm moving quite slowly at the moment, however, because my allergies kicked in and I took some nighttime allergy medication. I also had further unsettling news about my Dad from my sister-in-law Donna, who's coping with a cancerous father, a recently-diagnosed diabetic mother, and a cancerous father-in-law, all of whom can be handfulls.
SR Swishy Sarah, nice to see you back.
DR Jane, the first in your photographic series of copulating fauna was quite intriguing. Does NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC know you're at liberty?
TOD: For all the reading I do, you would think I remember dust covers. Sorry!

Nothing off the top of my head. But I do collect the books and therefore the covers for the Michael Shayne detective series. The ones with the art covers and not the ones with the photographs which are mostly cheesecake with (in my opinion) no artistic value

Off to work at the lovely World of Wisdom, like chocolate bittersweet and full of nuts.
Hopefully I can post later.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC opens tonight to a sold out house...I sold 53 tickets in one hour last night!
I won't be there....but I will send them my BEST vibes!

June 10 was my Dad's birthday and also that of my best friend when I was a youngen. My best friend always had fun birthday parties that I hated missing on the very odd years that my family had an actual celebration for my Dad. And yet, on the years that I attended my friend's parties, I felt guilty about not being home with my Dad. Such a heavy burden I carried.
-
Good Morning all. Thank you all for the sore throat vibes and thankyou to RLP for the salt water remedy.
I feel guilty and stupid for complaining about my petty sore throat when Elmore's Dad, and his SIL's parents and Jane's friend are all dealing with much more serious issues ands TCB is busy mending after a hip replacement.
However since I have essentially lost my voice (not necessarily a bad thing in some people's opinons) I am actually attempting to see the Dr this afternoon to see what he can see. he doesn't open his office until noon so I've left a message on his machine and will see when they can fit me in.

Good morning!
After the cool morning we had yesterday, I was hopeful our heat wave was nearing its end, but no such luck! It's going to be 87 today (already in the high 70s) though the five day forecast does promise cooling to the high 70s by Monday.
I know it's June, but PLEASE let this happen.
-
Good morning, dear friends! It's another cloudy, mebbe more rain kinda day up here. So I'll plant all those flowers I bought the other day. That'll be a nice rainy day activity.
There is a little brown mouse that lives in the house with me - I see him more frequently. I really should make a note to buy a live trap - I have been down to town a few times, and jes plumb fergot. I bet he'd like peanut butter...
June 6 is my mom's birthday. Likewise her father's birthday. I reckon the rest of the family will take flowers to the cemetary. I was moved to buy Yorzeit candles yesterday - that's a Jewish memorial candle one lights on the anniversary of a loved one's death. (Most of Yiddish is from Medieval German... so Yor: from German Jahr - "year" and Zeit: from German Zeit - "time" = Time of Year.) Jews are big on Remembrance... I know it was about 6 or 7 weeks premature, but I've been thinking about these first Yorzeits, and I saw them in Albertson's...
-
I agree, DR Vixmom. Any petty ailments I might have pale in comparison to what other folks are dealing with now. I have nothing whatsoever to complain about.
-
I'm looking forward to THE OFFICE marathon on NBC tonight. Yep, I've seen all these episodes, but as this is now my favorite comedy of TV, I will rewatch these episodes with great glee.
-
Jeepers, it's peaceful up here. My own private retreat center... got the piano, the guitar, crayons and drawing paper, glue sticks and beads and sequins, blank books for journal entries, a wonderful library of books, wads of sheet music and opera scores, got videos and CD's, got internet. Got semi-tame wildlife. Got a forest and a stream and a garden... Who would NOT be at peace in such a place...
-
THE SOUND OF MUSIC is one amazing show. Nearly 50 years old with a movie version that was a world-wide phenomenon, and yet stage versions still remain cash cows. We didn't play to en empty seat for the three week run of the last version I did (350 seat house). A more recent version playing at a new 1,000 seat theater here had frequent sellouts last fall.
-
Vixmom - sometimes I lose my voice in order to shut me up so I can hear the private things I need to say to myself...
But, apparently, people with kids lose their voices from ailments the little ones bring home from school. I think Chas lost his voice - and the whole shebang - because he had such negative feelings about the biz and felt trapped by his career... some folks for whom I have been voice teacher/coach had vocal troubles as a symptom of their being unable to express certain hard truths... Fifth Chakra stuff is so interesting...

My BETTE DAVIS COLLECTION Vol. 2 set has not arrived. In fact, I haven't even gotten a notice from Amazon that it has shipped! :(
-
It's always delightful to see TCB arise from his mists of recovery to post. Last night, he was in rare form. Very subtle in some ways....LOVED the "Why, was he hungry?" response to one post.
But the one that had me rolling, in stitches, was:
To a Quote from: JRand55 on Yesterday at 07:23:01am
Here's some pictures from THE SOUND OF MUSIC, if anyone wants to click.
TCB replied:
I think I would leave the convent for your Captain.
To which I submit, the Sisters of Lordy-Have-Mercy certainly have their hands full with you, TCB!
-
Re: The Bette Davis Collection Vol. 2 -- I will stick my keys into an electrical socket before I re-buy "Jezebel" and "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" again UNLESS I can get some kind of trustworthy proof that the films are much, MUCH better in their new release than in the original one (i.e. the restoration is remarkable, scenes have been restored...).
It's maddening when boxed sets include titles already out there...and already in my collection.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
-
I just remembered to turnt he page in my calendar. I am looking at a beautiful picture of the Tropical Rainforest, Daintree National Park, Queensland, Australia
Thanks Tomovoz!

I agree with you, and in the last Davis boxed set, I bought individual titles I didn't already have rather than the entire box.
However, that being said, every review I've read has remarked on the much improved image quality of JEZEBEL and BABY JANE, particularly the latter. BABY JANE has also been updated to a two-disc edition with extra features not on the first one. Additionally, the box contains that outstanding STARDUST: The Bette Davis Story documentary only available in this set (or recorded off TCM the next time it airs.)
-
Oh the doctor's office just called and can see me at 2:15. I guess I had better go tell The Powers That Be I'll be leaving a bit early.
-
And looks like by the time they get to the third Bette Davis set, they will have run out of previously released gems and they will all be first-time-on-DVD items.
-
DR Jane, the first in your photographic series of copulating fauna was quite intriguing. Does NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC know you're at liberty?
DRelmore, you are groggy & missed the fact they were battling for the right to copulate. Read on.. ;D
elmore & DRLaura- at first we thought the snakes might be mating. However, if they were mating it would have taken longer than the 5 minutes they spent together, and their position would have been more circular. Also there would have been some spasms of joy.

Guess I need to get cleaned up for lunch out today.

DRelmore I’m sorry your news today isn’t better, vibes for your poor sister-in-law as well as your entire family.

Penny, I love reading your posts of your beautiful home & the wildlife. I of course can imagine it all.

I love book jackets and, as a book collector, know the jacket usually increases the value of the book by about four times. I've often bought a book purely for the jacket.
Some favs:
Lots of my Sabatini jackets have great swashbuckling covers.
The Sax Rohmers lots of mysterious East atmosphere.
All the old Edgar Rice Burroughs jackets from J. Allen St. John up to Frazetta.
N.C. Wyeth did both some Sabatini and Burroughs jackets.
I have lots of fine action covers by fine action illustrators by fine action writers like P.C. Wren, Talbot Mundy, and Robert E. Howard.
I also own some pulp magazines with terrific covers, some by the wonderful Margaret Brundage, who illustrated for Weird Tales.
-
Ginny-My friend’s good news makes this an extra special day.
Thanks Dakota, Matt H, MBarnum, TCB, George, & JRand.
Penny-Absolutely a real heavy load off! Now I can truly enjoy our special day. This is the friend I visited in DC when we were in Bethesda together.
Mbarnum-may your mother be very happy in her new home.
JRand I hope you miss a great opening night.

Jose- what/where is that mini burger place in the west village that we hit last year on the eating and walking and eating tour?
-
TOD: Growing up I loved the covers (and contents) of John Bellairs's books with artwork by Edward Gorey. Now they're only published in paperback with different covers, but I've been collecting them on Ebay. Here's one if anyone is interested. I'm going to scan some when I get home tonight.

Jose- what/where is that mini burger place in the west village that we hit last year on the eating and walking and eating tour?
Oh, I remember that place! In January, I took my DH Richard past it and told him all about our stop there (we'd have eaten there ourselves, but were on our way to Cowgirl). Do you think I can remember the name and location? Of course not!
-
I'm up, I'm up - great night's sleep and I'm just getting my bearings. One must have one's bearings.
I got the Bette Davis set last night, using credit. Here's the Amoeba joke. Mostly everything in the store is list price unless they get a promo. So, they've got the single two-disc version of Baby Jane for $24.95, list price. Then they have about thirty copies of the box set, all promos (the only way to tell is that the bar code has a black line drawn through it) and those are 34.95. So, even though I didn't want the box set I got it, and will get rid of what I don't want. I'll watch Baby Jane first so I can report on it.
-
I see six dear readers, but I don't see no stinking posts.

My brother and his family came into town yesterday, and niece (16) and nephew (18) are hanging out with us tonight. Yesterday, we had a conversation about what they might want to do, which consisted of quite a few whatevers, and I don't knows. But we did establish that they liked to eat. So I thought instead of going to a restaurant and spending the rest of the night wandering around, we could incorporate the wandering into the eating and make it last all night.

I got "too many connections" and fired off an e-mail to our host. I mean, problem fixed is problem fixed in my book, unless they're having other issues today. I still think I'm going to have them nuke the first year's posts and have them archived somewhere.

DR TPunk - The burger place in question is "The Burger Joint". It's on Bleecker Street @ MacDougal, a block from 6th Ave. (Avenue of the Americas). *It's also across the street from Porto Rico, that great coffee place. **And there's also a great Indian "kati roll" place a few doors away.
*Alas, I think the burgers may have gone up from $1.00 to $1.50 for the plain ones. Still a very tasty bite.

For those hoping to get tickets to ASSASSINS just outside of D.C. at the Signature Theatre: I know they're saying they're completely sold out for the first five weeks, but if you have the patience to keep checking online, tickets keep popping up. After being told absolutely no availability for the Saturday night we wanted to go, we just kept checking back online, and tickets started popping up one at a time. It took making four separate orders, but our party of four got tickets. So if anyone here (or any people who just read the site without posting) must see ASSASSINS, don't be deterred - keep checking online.)

Jose - Our little gang of four is going to ASSASSINS Sat. June 24th evening. (We're seeing MAME in the afternoon.)

As for the Topic of the Day...
Nothing in particular comes to mind, but...
When I was in grade school, we had "Library Class". Once a week, we would head down to the school's library, and we would learn about the library. Dewey Decimal system, Newberry and Caldecott winners, new acquisitions, etc. Sometimes the class would just consist of watching a slide show or film of a particular book. In any case...
For a couple of weeks, we spent time re-jacketing some of the books. Most of the time, that just consisted of re-wrapping the dust jackets in that plastic overwrap - the name of which escapes me now. -I'm sure BK and DRs George and Ginny know the correct name. However, sometimes we had to reconstruct the whole dust jacket which meant we had to re-draw the dust jacket art. Sometimes we used an overhead projector to "trace" the artwork out, othertimes we just traced the artwork. And sometimes we just came up with new artwork altogether. It was a very educational and creative project.
*One of these days I would like to head back to the St. Thomas More Elementary School library and see how many of those dust-jackets and books are still there.
-
Jose - Our little gang of four is going to ASSASSINS Sat. June 24th evening. (We're seeing MAME in the afternoon.)
Ah, if I do end up heading down to Signature, I would not start until the following week.
*I am interested in seeing the show since I saw Signature's original production, especially since Joe Calarco is directing this time rather than Eric. We shall see...
-
DR elmore - Any chance you'll be going to see this?

Thanks Jose! Are your services for hire tonight? Actually I'm not sure what the mood will be with the kids, whether or not they'll be into the eating/walking tour. I'm just trying to come up with options in case they don't have anything they want to do.
-
And continuing the Topic of the Day...
With many publishers coming out with special and commemorative editions of the classics, it's been neat seeing what some of the original hardcover dust-jackets look(ed) like. Both "To Kill A Mockingbird" and "The Catcher in the Rye" were originally introduced to me via their paperback versions when I was in high school, and when HarperCollins and Little, Brown (respectively) released anniversary editions of the books... -However, I do have to say, I'm still partial to "The Catcher in the Rye" paperback with the maroon cover and orange/gold lettering.
-
Here's one of my favorite paperback covers:
I searched the library catalog where I work to see if we had "The Front Runner" and not only did we have one copy of it, five new copies were just ordered last month! What a coinkydink!
-

Well.. Since it's Thursday, you could always take them to the Chelsea Clearview Cinemas ("Where Dreams Come True") for the screening on "The Letter" (starring Bette Davis). Heck, the might even win a pair of tickets to some other event in town from your hostess for the evening, Hedda Lettuce. And it's only a $6.00 ticket!
;)
*OHHH!!! I'm not that interested in tonight's presentation of "The Letter", however, next week.... "Xanadu"!!!!

Life, of course, can always be better...but it's what you make of it, isn't it!

...A Salt & Battery for fish & chips and fried Snickers bars...
...Crumbs for cupcakes(!)...
...Beard Papa for cream puffs...
...And La Cocina for 2-for-1 Frozen Margaritas - which, as we found out last week, is only applicable Monday-Thursday...
;)
-
...Then again, the final preliminary rounds of "So You Think You Can Dance?" are also on tonight.
;D

...And as the scroll on the TV is reminding me...
If you do head out, don't forget your umbrella. Storms and hail(!) predicted for this afternoon.

Whenever Jose is on the board I get hungry!
-
Well.. Since it's Thursday, you could always take them to the Chelsea Clearview Cinemas ("Where Dreams Come True") for the screening on "The Letter" (starring Bette Davis). Heck, the might even win a pair of tickets to some other event in town from your hostess for the evening, Hedda Lettuce. And it's only a $6.00 ticket!
;)
*OHHH!!! I'm not that interested in tonight's presentation of "The Letter", however, next week.... "Xanadu"!!!!
;D
That would be a true New York experience, wouldn't it! I think that they might not be interested in the movie either. Too bad it's not Valley of the Dolls tonight.
-
DR George, did you listen to the London SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE yet? I'm listening to it now.
-
Whenever Jose is on the board I get hungry!
Well... Whenever you're on the board, DR MBarnum, I get... Well... Nevermind...
:P
-
...And there's always Magnolia for cupcakes and banana pudding...
...A Salt & Battery for fish & chips and fried Snickers bars...
...Crumbs for cupcakes(!)...
...Beard Papa for cream puffs...
...And La Cocina for 2-for-1 Frozen Margaritas - which, as we found out last week, is only applicable Monday-Thursday...
;)
On my list I have:
Magnolias or Billy's Bakery for cupcakes
Beard Papa for Cream Puffs
Burger Joint for sliders
F&B for hotdogs

I also like the fried green beans - yes, fried green beans! - at F&B. Yes, they're fried, but at least it's a vegetable. -And they're served with garlic butter too. Oooh...and the chocolate beignets.
**And if you're going to F&B, you might as well stop at the Trailer Park next door, or the Big Booty Bakery on the other side. Those Big Booty Buns are pretty darn tasty! I'm partial to the Guava ones. But the Dulce de Leche ones are good too.
-
don't forget to take them to the adult toy store.
Which one?
;)
-
The one for kids, of course! :D
-
I was just thinking about that Japanese tea place that you took me to Jose.
Ah, yes, Takashimaya.
However... if you're sweet tooth is still not sated, if you head up and over just a few more blocks on the East Side, you can hit Dylan's Candy Bar for all sorts of goodies - the ice cream sundaes are truly sinful! - and Serendipity 3 for the Frozen Hot Chocolate.
-
How about the place with the Japanese baked goods! OH, that was yummy!
I am having the most wonderful flashbacks of my NY trip, right now.
-
Hmmm...
Lestat closes...
HHW starts having "too many connections" errors...
DR MBarnum starts getting hungry...
Who knows? Maybe I am to blame?!?!?

OK... I guess I should get at least one load of laundry done today...
Laters...

Boo!

I just remembered to turnt he page in my calendar. I am looking at a beautiful picture of the Tropical Rainforest, Daintree National Park, Queensland, Australia
Thanks Tomovoz!
I also received a beautiful calendar from Tomovoz! The picture on my calendar, though, is of "The Grotto, The King's Domain, Melbourne." I have it here at work and many people admire the lovely pictures in it. Thanks again, from me too!
-

MBarnum - I got Ozu's Good Morning, a Criterion DVD that's one of their worst transfers. They were out of Floating Weeds and Early something-or-other Spring or Autumn.
-
Had a nice jog, then shaved and am looking quite svelte today, so I think I didn't gain yesterday.
-
TOD - Here's a book jacket I wish I still had. My frequently-read copy of the book is a first edition, autographed by the author - having the dust jacket would boost its value significantly, but, to me, it's priceless.
-
Tom is keeping the calendar companies in Australia in business. I have a different calendar from the others. I'm looking at a picture of a man surfing in Bondi Bay in Sydney, New South Wales. Looks great!
-
All this talk of Village and Chelsea food is making me hungry but I will stay home tonight and continue working on the notes for a certain CD which some DRs are anxiously awaiting. I also have to (I don't have to but I want to) track out the rest of the CD. Most of the work is done thanks to DR George. He recorded the truncated version for me in December and broke it into 16 tracks. I now have to separate the last 20 minutes into about 9 more tracks. It's easy but time consuming and that, dear readers, is why you haven't received your CDs yet ;)
-
Condomania
LOL! No the one that had toys (Japanese anime models, etc)...we had called it an adult toy store during the tour...and it scared Vixmom, until she realized it was just a toy store for grown-ups who collected toys.
-
BK, have you ever seen Criterion's CHUSHINGURA? Now there is a most horrible DVD transfer! But what a wonderful film...and it would be such a beautiful film also if they should ever decide to clean it up and perhaps fix it so it doesn't look like it is out of focus!
I would then buy a copy of it because it was such a good movie!
-
DR George, did you listen to the London SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE yet? I'm listening to it now.
What do you think? I like it...I'll have to listen to it several more times to decide how much I like it, but so far, I like it a lot. :)
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
Nothing in particular comes to mind, but...
....For a couple of weeks, we spent time re-jacketing some of the books. Most of the time, that just consisted of re-wrapping the dust jackets in that plastic overwrap - the name of which escapes me now. -I'm sure BK and DRs George and Ginny know the correct name....
Mylar jackets. ;)
-
Tom is keeping the calendar companies in Australia in business. I have a different calendar from the others. I'm looking at a picture of a man surfing in Bondi Bay in Sydney, New South Wales. Looks great!
I'm jealous.
;)
-
Mylar jackets. ;)
Here we use the Brodart LifetimeTM Lo-Luster 1.5 Mill Book Jacket Cover.
At home, on paperbacks that we want to protect, I use clear contact paper (which would give a book perservationist apoplexy).
-
My shift is done! I'm going to go talk to my supervisor and then it's off to meet the kids. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
-
I just found out that a man that I used to work with was murdered yesterday. His body was discovered by his 15 year-old daughter. He was only 46.
-
Sorry to hear that awful news, DR TCB.
-
What do you think? I like it...I'll have to listen to it several more times to decide how much I like it, but so far, I like it a lot. :)
There are two things I dislike. First, the slo-o-o-o-w tempos. Some parts--some entire songs--drag on like dirges. No wonder this recording went to two discs.
I also don't care for Daniel Evans as Act One George. He has a Scottish accent which get muddied up throughout (especially during the part with the two dogs.) He has a beautiful voice and I think he's fine as Act Two George, but I don't think he carries off Seurat at all. (Is Act One George ever referred to as Seurat? Hmmmm...)
Otherwise, I love Jenna Russell as Dot/Marie. Not as good of a singer as BP, but she acts the roles much better.
I also like the new orchestrations. In fact, I like how this entire recording sounds. I don't know what the technical term is, but it's the "warmest" cast recording I've heard in years. There's a robust, full-bodied sound overall.
And it's a treat to have the entire score included, though I wish not as much of the spoken dialogue was present (a wish I have for all cast recordings in general.)
-
DR TPunk - The burger place in question is "The Burger Joint". It's on Bleecker Street @ MacDougal, a block from 6th Ave. (Avenue of the Americas). *It's also across the street from Porto Rico, that great coffee place. **And there's also a great Indian "kati roll" place a few doors away.
*Alas, I think the burgers may have gone up from $1.00 to $1.50 for the plain ones. Still a very tasty bite.
-Need a tour guide? ;)
Bleecker Street @ MacDougal? Isn't that the block where the Sullivan Theatre is, or used to be? That is where THE FANTASTICKS was performed for 374 years (or something like that)
-
Sorry about your bad news, DR TCB. Even sorrier for the daughter.
-
Whenever Jose is on the board I get hungry!
I am sure that Jose will be very pleased to read that.

The bay or the surfer?

Anyone else have trouble getting AOL email for a few hours this morning?
I was on AOL from 9:40 until about 11:30 and didn't have a problem with anything: e-mail (getting and sending) or accessing any sites. Worked like a dream on my end.
-
I just found out that a man that I used to work with was murdered yesterday. His body was discovered by his 15 year-old daughter. He was only 46.
DR TCB, that's terrible! I'm so sorry,
-
Lunch ran long due to a late start time and we walked around Circuit City browsing at DVDs and CDs. I also looked at some of the latest models of HDTVs they have.
Very pleasant early afternoon.
-
I only had time to finish RIVER OF NO RETURN this afternoon. I don't know if it's the different DVD player I'm using or what, but that DVD looked the best it's ever looked this time around.
-
DR Elmore - sorry the news from here isn't getting better. Anything I can do?
-
AOL now has an "official" pop up saying they are "officially" having a problem with mail and that they're working on it. Isn't affecting everyone, obviously, but it must be widespread for them to go the pop-up route.

Jose- what/where is that mini burger place in the west village that we hit last year on the eating and walking and eating tour?
The Burger Joint ($1 burgers, $2 fries)
190 Bleecker St.
212-254-2380
The Burger Joint Info
I saved my list of the walking tour. :) Unfortunately they didn't have mini veggie burgers.
-
TCB - How horrible!
DR Elmore - My thoughts are with you.
I think the ghost of Alfred Hitchcock is shooting on my street. There are dozens of crows flying around above the street, making a very loud racket.
-
LOL! No the one that had toys (Japanese anime models, etc)...we had called it an adult toy store during the tour...and it scared Vixmom, until she realized it was just a toy store for grown-ups who collected toys.
I was also very concerned. ;D

George my friend in Kentucky joined a Red Hat Society. She has had a blast with them.
TCB-horrible news, I hope the daughter will be okay.
-
DR Elmore - sorry the news from here isn't getting better. Anything I can do?
No, but thanks for the offer!
-
Hello. I am at home n0ow, tested for strep and on the Z-Pak.
I am so sorry to hear that terrible news TCB. What a terrible tragedy and how awful that it was discovered by his young daughter.
-
Penny O, I do love your stories of the cabin in the woods. I wish I had such a hideaway!
One more thing to put on the list of "When I hit the lottery....."
-
I have been unable to access my AOL mail from work all day. :(
-
What a shock that must be TCB.
-
MBarnum... I wasn't "scared" I was "concerned" ;D

I've been thinking...
DR Jose is our official HHW NYC tour guide.
Maybe DR PennyO could become our official HHW country retreat guru.

I have real issues with the red hat ladies. The whole point of the poem is that when I'm old I can do whatever I want. It's about individuality.....so what happens.....whole groups of women get red had hats with purple...haven't they read the poem???? It's about not going along with the crowd, not doing what everyone else is doing....they totally ruined a fun poem

DR Jane...isn't today your anniversary? If it is....Happy Anniversary to you and DH Keith!
BTW_ loved the snake photo...

TCB - that's horrible news. Do they have any suspects?

DR Jose...it's great to have you posting again

Always in the back of my mind, but seriously, no, not at this time.

Off to clean the bedroom now and then settle in for some comedy and drama tonight.

According to an article on Playbill.com:
Les Miz Tour Plays Performance No. 7,000 June 1 in Seattle (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/100036.html)
"The national tour of Les Miserables will play its 7,000th performance on June 1 during its Seattle engagement at the 5th Avenue Theatre."
And then it goes on to say:
"Producer Cameron Mackintosh announced on Feb. 17, 2006 this national touring production will end its 18-year record-setting run on July 23, 2006 in St. Louis, MO having played 151 cities for 521 engagements. (For those keeping score, there have been cast changes and hiatuses along the way.)"
I'm not going to see this...I've already seen the show twice in Seattle. Both shows were very good, but twice is enough for me. :)
-
My workday draws to a close. It's been a delightful one, catching up on professional reading. I've especially enjoyed about 7 issues of Publishers Weekly, with lots of book and author news.
Bye for now!
-
Regarding my murdered co-worker: This has been extremely tough on my sister who had worked closely with him for the past 20 years. He was a very sweet and very kind man.
They have already arrested a suspect in the murder. Morris had spent the last several years working as a counselor for prison inmates about to be paroled. It is too early to tell if the suspect was one of the men he had been counseling.
-
Word has it that Ben Brantley (among other critics) was in the audience at MAME in D.C. last night. I think the "official" opening is tonight.

Sorry, TCB, I didn't mean to follow your serious post with such a relatively frivolous matter - it just timed that way.

No, no, Fred, don't worry about it. It is quite possible that the MAME production may get killed, as well.

There's this article on Playbill.com: Side Show's Ripley and Skinner to Reunite for Second Annual Broadway Cabaret Festival (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/100014.html)

And it's a treat to have the entire score included, though I wish not as much of the spoken dialogue was present (a wish I have for all cast recordings in general.)
Actually, the tempos don't bother me too much. To me, there is so much variation in theater music and subsequent recordings that I've gotten used to that kind of change.
Georges in the first act didn't seem to be as obsessive as I though he should sound (well, from what I could hear from the recording). Of course, I could just be too used to Mandy's version. ::) I enjoyed Dot/Marie, also.
I like the fact that the orchestrations are different...at all. I have a studio cast recording of A Little Night Music with Sian Phillips as Desiree (who went on to play Madame Armfelt with Judi Dench as Desiree) that has a string quintet (I think) as the orchestra and it's beautiful.
I also love the fact that so much of the music is included, but I like all the dialogue. I like getting a sense of the show, not just the songs.

Tom is keeping the calendar companies in Australia in business.
Yes, you're right! ;) He must have gotten a bulk rate or something!
But I guess I got a calendar that was not for me because mine, for the month of June, has a picture of a naked girl that says "Our June Girl, Dorothy from Oz" with a little black dog positioned in the "right" place!
Do you think Tom was making fun of me?! :D ;D ;D (Or Dorothy, or... the dog?! :D

I'm sure you've enjoyed the pics of kittens DR Ron has posted lately!
He had promised (me) some pics of his beloved late Miss Vicky not long ago.... and I'm still waiting!
Some men are full of promises, you know, and you're certainly not the person to disagree about the fact that they don't keep them at all!!
Promises, promises!
They could even write a musical about that! ;)

They're probably hawking THE OMEN remake.

LOL, this play by play on the spelling bee is pretty funny. The first guy had a whole profile etc. He got the word right, but why didn't the second speller get a profile? She's the 2 time Canadian champion and no profile?

Shocking news DR TCB!

"GENTILEMEN PREFER BLONDES" - Wasn't that the original working title of West Side Story when it was still going to be about a Catholic boy falling in love with a Jewish girl? I think I've seen sketches for "The Dance On the Sabbath" at the Library of Congress.

Skip thought I was nuts when I started screaming at the TV set about the "alternate" spelling of that word the judges had wrong. My sanity was in doubt, but then they corrected themselves. My sanity is still in doubt, but at least I was right. :)

My dad's birthday is in June

This snobby little bitch says the word was a cheat.
If it was Greek in origin it should start with "CH".
Cry, you little bitch, cry....you lost big time...ahahahahahahahaha.....and the whole country saw YOU!!! Humiliated in front of millions of strangers....hahahahhahaha......

That's why I put "alternate" in quotes. I was being kind to the judges. :) :) :)

The lightning is bad enough that I've had to turn off the TV, though I don't know what difference it makes since it's still plugged into the wall and has the cable line going into it. Sparks still could fly.

"Okay, kids--we're going to play a new spelling game! Why don't you all choose up sides--and go home!!!"

Well... I'm watching another competition... "So You Think You Can Dance?"... And I have to say the judges are being brutal this year.... honest, but brutal.

What's this from. I think it's from some sitcom but I don't rememeber which one.
Little kid: "I wanna play a game!"
"OK! OK! I'm thinking of an odd number between 4 and 6!"
Little kid: "Five?"
"Great, you win. Now go home."

Storm is still a'ragin' outside. Lightning and thunder is terrible. I tried running to my governess's bedroom, but she just puffed on her cigerette and said, "Beat it, kid!" and continued leafing through her copy of CONFIDENTIAL. The half-empty glass of vodka on her bedstand told me I better do as she says.
-
Didja y'all notice that I misspelled "bee"? I went back and fixed it.
-
Wasn't A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN the first spelling bee musical?
"I before E except after C"
I liked how the kids were eliminated in that movie.
"Pop!"

"Or when sounded as a as in neighbor or weigh" I still sing that to myself when I have a spelling issue

Two words I always have to look up: similar and familiar.

Does anyone think the finale of SWEENEY TODD was borrowed from Rod McKuen? :)
"The world is full of lots of people

Wow! This is like Oscar night except i don't have my TV on.

Next year, there'll probably be a red carpet for the spelling bee

Oscar Night, Spelling Bee...What's the difference ;)

Well they do have the back stage interviews

I am loving how fast this here site is working since Mr. Mark Bakalor archived all those posts (over 150,000 of them). Apparently, having them all in one place was the culprit.

Does Tony night get any coverage here on HHW, or does the time delay out West make it impossible to talk about on here without spoilers?

Oh wow! A house exploded not far from here. I need to run upstairs and see what I can see from my window

My memory is that we had a fascinating Tony night last year.
DR JRand55, how did SOM go tonight? I totally was negligent in wishing you a success tonight and I apologize. I was thinking positive thought, however!
-
Yes, this is the place to be for Tony night. East Coasters have to keep mum on winners, but otherwise it's quite a festively festive partay here at haineshisway.com
-

I hope no one was injured. I have this memory - which I seem to have nothing but tonight - that something similar happened recently in Long Island or Staten Island.

Re houses exploding... Many years ago, in Toronto, late one night I was lying in bed discussing the fragility of life with my husband. (I swear!) And suddenly, the house next-door exploded. Good timing!
We ran outside, as did the woman who was renting the house. She'd been in the shower and was only wearing a towel. Thought I'd share...
As for Tony night, even though I'm on the left coast, I'll be watching a live feed at an Actors Fund Benefit Tony Party. Should be fun.

Re Spelling Bees -- there's a spelling bee scene (several, actually) in my new fillum. It's hard to make that sruff up - mistakes and all!
-
SPELLING SPOILER
There was some musical word in the bee (I think it was sciolto) which Skip said should have had at least an alternate pronuciation, and that alternate pronunciation might have clued the kid in on the proper spelling.
-
I always thought that the Baroness gives up on the Captain too easily. She should have used her connections in Berlin to try to force him to drop Maria and marry her. It might have gotten her a solo number.
-
Glad I was here for the spelling bee tonight, 'cause on Tony night my mom and I will be in Normal, IL, visiting my DN (dear niece) Laura. She was with me for DR PennyO's show in NYC last year. I don't think Laura has a computer at home, so I may miss that partay.
-
This afternoon I went for a walk, and this is what I saw:
-
Dan - How about "I Have Confidence Men"
-

"It's Elsa or Else" maybe?

I have never heard any of these words.

Okay first I had no idea that there were Canadians in the competition. I was very impressed with the girl from Edmonton (finola?). And I was rooting for her to win.
I only watched the last 45 minutes. BUt it was quite exciting. And yes some of the words were VERY hard.
I missed when the brunette got back in (but they mentioned it in her interview).
I could not believe how fast those last two girls were spelling their words. Amazing. Of the last 15 words. There were only a handful that I knew how to spell.
-
DR Jose, re: SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. I'm not really that fond of this stage of the competition. I prefer watching them learn all the dances (i guess this year in vegas). And I love watching them draw pairings and dance styles. I much prefer the couples dancing to when they each dance on their own.
-
The spelling bee is great television. Much better than the drivel usually broadcast.
-
Speaking of musicals, I watched the second disc in the BROADWAY: THE AMERICAN MUSICAL box tonight. I started with the fourth program dealing with the Golden Age and when it finished, I went back to the depression years (part three). ENjoyed seeing this again.
-
Then, I watched the four back-to-back episodes of THE OFFICE. Each one had hilarious and treasurable moments.
Today, the Television Critics Association made their anual nominations in the various categories, and THE OFFICE was the ONLY comedy nominated for Program of the Year. The other four nominees were all dramas: LOST, THE SOPRANOS, 24, and GREY'S ANATOMY.
-
Then I watched tonight's CSI episode, a rerun once again featuring Lady Heather. The show is/was the grisliest hour of CSI I've even seen, and I had to turn my eyes away from the screen on several occasions. I didn't remember how it ended so I stuck with it to the bitter end, but this is definitely one episode I won't be revisiting ever again. I'm thinking I must have been busy with something when it first aired because I remembered the general premise without remembering any of these horrendous details.
-
Then I started watching SOUNDER which I recorded off TCM the other day. Unless a new DVD has been issued of which I'm unaware, this film has always been pan and scanned on tape and DVD. This seems to be the only way to see it in its widescreen glory (it's Panavision). Will finish up with it tomorrow.
-
OOOh! I've just tuned in to the Spelling Bee. It's terrific television. Whudda thunk!
-
I didn't watch the spelling bee...(although I am certain that DR Elmore thinks I should have! LOL!)...I watched Most Extreme Elmination Challenge and What's My Line instead...give me drival anytime! :D
-
"It's terrific television." Whudda thunk anyone would use such an expression?
I just finished watching Ozu's Good Morning, about which more later. Will now start Whatever Happened To Baby Jane and I shall consciously avoid "terrific television" - the Tonys, however, I'll watch, but right here at haineshisway.com. Don't need no stinking Actor's Fund gala to go hobnob in, when we have the smartest partay people in town.

I'm heading off for bed now.

I don't know if I said this, but for his birthday and father's day, my brother, my sister and I got my dad installation and 3 months of high speed internet at his summer house. He finally got it all installed tonight and he's surfing at warp speed. Now there will be a little more peace as my mother doesn't have to yell at him to get off the phone line.
He is so excited. I love it
-
DR Laura, what kind of camera do you use? I love your wildlife photos
-
Gotta get some sleep....night
-
I have some kind of a Sony. But I don't recommend it. The lens is too sensitive. The lens has burn marks on it from taking outside photos.
-
This seems to be the highest posting day since the 200,000-post plateau was reached, if I'm reading the data correctly.
-
And it was all brought on by that spelling bee.
-
I guess I'll leave it to the West Coasters to try to gey us to 400...
-
I mean GET us to 400
-
But at least this post will help
-
Well, unfortunately, the Brantley review of MAME was not a "move this show to New York" kind of review, but that gives even more reason for the New Yorkers to get to DC to see the show, if that makes any sense.
-
I'm surprised that a show estimated to cost $5-million opted to open itself to the critics after only three preview performances, since the critics were apparently there Wed. evening, at the fourth preview if I'm counting correctly.
-
Tried to expand my stay at the Watergate on June 23rd to 24th an extra day, to take into account seeing ASSASSINS at the Signature near D.C. on the 24th evening, and found that the room that's $149 on the 23rd zooms up to $289 on the 24th.
-
There must be soemthing going on in D.C. starting on June 24th evening, since the guy on the phone was a little surprised that the rate would go up for the weekend from Friday to Saturday.
-
One of our group found a reasonable rate at a hotel five blocks from the Watergate, though. Probably not as nice a hotel, but it runs $179, which seems reasonable for D.C. on a weekend.
-
So we could conceivably stay at the Watergate Friday night, bring our bags over to the other hotel before seeing MAME, say hello to the people in MAME that we want to say hello to, then go the second hotel and check in before heading out to Arlington for ASSASSINS.
-
I'm surprised that a show estimated to cost $5-million opted to open itself to the critics after only three preview performances, since the critics were apparently there Wed. evening, at the fourth preview if I'm counting correctly.
It's the Kennedy Center. Most shows there have very short preview periods, which I'm guessing is a result of all the touring shows that come through there. Most of the tours get one or two "previews" before the reviews come out.
I'm also guessing that since it's a limited five and a half week run, they wanted to have the show officially open for a good chunk of that time.
-
Or if we find out there's a "baggage check" at the Kennedy Center, we could bring our bags there, and then carry them over to the Doubletree after the show.

I'd go ahead and ask to speak to a manager/supervisor to see if they could work out a better rate for you for your final night.
*And hotel rates in DC usually tend to go up on the weekends during the summer due to the number of tourists coming into town.
-
Jose - Is it unusual for the Kennedy Center shows to invite Brantley so early? Is that what they did during the Sondheim celebration, if you remember such things?
-

There's no bag check at the Kennedy Center... Well, maybe if you tip the Coat Check clerk "nicely"... Or, if you have friends in the show, just ask them to hold it backstage for you. -I've done that before.
*Actually, the Watergate should be able to hold your bags for you at the Front Desk.
*And... Oohh... The Doubletree!... Warm Chocolate Chip Cookies! And, apparently, they now offer other varieties of cookies if you ask. ;)
-
I just realized how many postings there are - this is a nice way to kick off June, and a nice way of noticing how sprightly our site is.
-
Definitely want to get us off page 13.
-
Jose - Is it unusual for the Kennedy Center shows to invite Brantley so early? Is that what they did during the Sondheim celebration, if you remember such things?
We had reviewers in very early during the Sondheim Celebration since each show only ran 14-18 performances. I think some were even there at the first performance of some of the shows in the series.
-
What was interesting (to me, anyway :) ) was that the reservationist at the Watergate said something to the effcet that they're generally a weekday-oriented hotel so they usually have deals on the weekend (and in fact, we got a great deal for the Friday night, which we booked a while ago before we decided to add seeing ASSASSINS to the trip). He was surprised that it went up so much from Friday to Saturday.
-
And my goodness, but this very post will take me to 19,000 postings.
-
That's what I'M talkin' about.

I caught a little bit of the dance show tonight -- my son was howling with laughter over it. Seems like the folks should check out this site if they truly want to be dancers:

I wonder if one of the Kennedy Center's Summer "festivals" starts that weekend... Hmm...

I'm babbling, but maybe such babbling will help us get to #400 today. :)

Congrats to BK on his humble plateau.
-
Here is what I've eaten today - one Stanley's Chinese Chicken Salad with extra dressing. One piece of bread and butter, and a couple of small chocolate chip cookies (the package had 180 calories, which is squat). So, the question is, do I want to eat anything else. Getting a little late, but I don't want my body to go into starvation mode - that would not be useful.
-
And one for Mahler.
-
And what would I eat if I were to eat? I could run to Gelson's and get some fruit, but I'm sort of bored of that right now. What I'd like are a few hamburgers, but obviously I won't be doing that.
-
The reservationist at the Doubletree DID in fact say something about making sure to enjoy the warm cookies. Is that a major selling point for that hotel? :)
-
Hmm...
I've been tracking down the reviews for Mame at the Kennedy Center, and they all seem to be saying the same thing. Hmm...
*At least Peter Marks in The Washington Post - formerly on the New York Times - acknowledged that he caught the show "early" in the performance run, and that Ms. Baranski would need more time to settle into the role.
-
What would I eat that I don't eat?
What would I make a great big snack of?
What would I have if my old scale would not scream "ow"
Oh, what would I eat I don't eat now?
Sorry, that's lame, but it's late here. :)
-
The reservationist at the Doubletree DID in fact say something about making sure to enjoy the warm cookies. Is that a major selling point for that hotel? :)
YES! -And for some of the other hotels in that "brand"...
And, technically, you're supposed to pay for any and all cookies after the first one - which you receive upon check-in, but if you smile and are nice, you can usually procure another one... or two.
*One of the Managers from the Doubletree at Times Square wold hang out at the stage door of The Palace talking with our doorwoman. Sometimes she would have a bag of "extras".. YUM!
-
Oh we're so close to 400 posts
-
Just checkin' in before niteynite - now all I can think of is WARM COOKIES, dammit!!
-
Am i gonna have to get ingredients out, and bake cookies AT THIS HOUR???
-
Just think if you flew Midwest to DC and stayed at the DoubleTree, you'd have hot chocolate chip cookies on the plane and warm cookies at the hotel
-
I think I only have the stuff to do oatmeal raisin... nope, no eggs... rats!
-
400 posts? Did I miss the Tony Awards?

Pancakes!

We're over 400....I'm going to go to sleep with visions of hot cookies dancing in my head

Now I'm really going to sleep....night
-
What on earth am I doing up so late??? Well, I slept through part of Life Or Something Like It... good thing it's a five-day rental... useless for me to try to watch a movie at night!
-
Thanks, Cil - and good night. Sleep sweet!

Guess I'll hit the rack, too. Nice to see everyone! Have a good one, peeps!

So close to page 15

We can do it!

Yes, they are usually COLD which is far from terrific, in my point of view from the rooftops! ;)

In a little while...

And one for M...! OH NO! That's SO tacky and far from terrif'!

Well... On that note, I'm going to retire for the evening. I'm hoping to get up early-ish tomorrow and have a productive today. -Today was sort of another laze-fest - but I did manage to get three load of laundry done, so... In any case...
Goodnight.

I don't care how we get there....

The lens probably wouldn't have burn marks if your daytime temperatures didn't reach 160 degrees!
"Her" daytime temperatures?
Did not know that Laura was .... that HOT!! ;D
(I wonder what it can be at night!!)

The buzz was that STING guest starred on the show!

My favourite version of "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" is by Dame Judi Dench.
-
To Hotelier's daughters have Suite Sixteen parties?

Any more of those rich jokes and I'll break out in hives.

LOL. Maybe that has something to do with it.

DR Tomovoz: Tomorrow when I get to my office, I will flip over my calendar and see what June's photo is.

For the past couple of days my weatherbug has been flashing. It is warning me that daytime temps will be 110+. Hello! That's normal this time of year!
-
Thus endeth my frenzy.

I think that it's hysterical! ;D

Good night to all!

Good night, François.

My DVD of "South Pacific" in concert arrived today. I guess that will be the viewing choice for Saturday night.
-
I like the word "terrific" and use it quite often, just never in conjunction with "television." Oh, and because some people just don't seem to get my sense of HUMOR, here
;D ::) ;)
-
And there is new Karen Akers CD out.
-
I think terrific refers to Rainbows!
-
Which may explain why there are so many songs about rainbows. The writers wish to terrify us.
-
All is quiet. I've missed the last rainbow. (A "Billy" reference).

It's weird - under stats we show that we've had 461 posts, which would make this the tenth highest posting day ever. But here, it only shows as 450 something posts.
-
Oh, well, we may as well make it conform. The new notes are up, but we must conform, damn it all.
-
I think just one or two more will do us fine.
-
Perhaps this one?
-
Yes! That's what I'M talkin' about.
