Well, you've read the notes, the notes had speed and pace, not necessarily in that order, and now it is time for you to post until the speedy cows come home speedily in their Speedos.

And the word of the day is: DELECTATION!

Delectation: Perry Mason's secretary's own version of shorthand.

TOD:
Nothing planned to watch this weekend.
In my car cd player: Lee Lucas, Nancy LaMott & David Campbell
-
DVD: "Strange Bedfellows" - Don't bother!
CDs: Assorted Cds of Peggy Lee songs
Mark Lindsay "Golden Classics"
Nigel Kenndy - Vilvaldi

I spy TD!
HOW ARE YOU DOING? LONG TIME NO SEE ON HERE!

Good Morning!
Although it is Friday here in the US of A, it is my Monday. Yes, I am coming off of my weekend which was spent watching the following things on dvd:
SOUTH PACIFIC IN CONCERT - I love Reba. What can I say? I love the natural twang she brings to Nellie, even if it is Oklahoman not Arkansasian.
THE JOHN WAYNE - JOHN FORD COLLECTION's bonus features. BK, you must tell Mr. Redman how much I enjoyed his contribution to THE SEARCHERS. The PBS docu ain't too bad, either.
ZODIAC - from Netflix. A waste of time. Though David Hess is in it, looking old and haggard.
KUCH NAA KAHU - also from Netflix, but one that I will eventually own. It's a charming musical with catchy songs and lovely cinematography.
HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL - Kenny Ortega has come a long way since NEWSIES; Alyson Reed has come a long way since the film of A CHORUS LINE and Broadway's MARILYN.
Musically speaking, I've been listening to:
THE PETE SEEGER SESSIONS from Bruce Springsteen
THE DROWSY CHAPERONE - a bit twee, but fun.
SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE - 2006 London recording, at first off-putting because of the accents, but glorious when it gets going.
-
I spy TD!
HOW ARE YOU DOING? LONG TIME NO SEE ON HERE!
I'm here, there and everywhere. (Ah! A Beatles reference!)
In general, I'm doing fine. We'll not talk about admirals or lieutenants since TCB is not present and accounted for. ;D
-
Maybe MY copy of The Drowsy Chaperone will show up today!
As for Maxwell Caulfield - well any time he spends putting ON clothes is wasted as far as I am concerned.
-
SoapTalk! Take plenty of merchandise, MR BK!
-
Now for your delectation, my TOD answers:
DVD: The Man in the Attic with Jack Palance
VCR: BERSERK! with Miss Joan Crawford
CD: Donna Loren, BEACH BLANKET BINGO
-
Hi DR td.
As for the DVD Release announcement made by DRMBARNUM yesterday.
There is nothing like seeing a chimp in a trench coat and fedora and another chimp in a dress and ruffled panties chasing each other through tall flowers in slo mo while a soundtrack plays "Rollin' in the Clover"....Lancelot Link is essential viewing.

I will call you tonight and we'll talk.

I will be at work tonight. . .and before that, I'll be sleeping. . . ;)
PM me and I'll give you a good time to call. 8)

Howdy, DR td!
Have your people call his people.

TOD:
iPod: SONG OF SINGAPORE and the Deutsche Grammophon ON THE TOWN, neither of which I've heard before.
Tivo: All from PBS: a Sammy Davis Jr clip show, a documentary on Connie Mack Stadium and Chris Botti (and friends?)
I'm not generally a fan of the concert events that PBS broadcasts these days--I find them to be mostly pablum. But this Chris Botti concert was quite good--he is an excellent jazz trumpetist and he plays along side a line-up of some wonderful guest vocalists (Gladys Knight, Jill Scott, Sting.) Give it a shot when it's shown in your area.
-
Off to work....we shall see if I can post from there.....
-
I may be getting too absorbed in all the Tony awards race handicapping, or else it was just too early in the morning. I got my daily entertainment email and could have sworn the headline was MURDOCH BETS ON CHITA, and I thought that's a gutsy move for the Best Actress race. (Of course, when I read the article, it was actually "Murdoch bets on China.")

Gone are the old ideas of life

Good morning, all! Welcome back, DRtd. You've been missed.
I slept late this morning, so I'm rather disorganized at the moment. I know I have a trip to Toyland to work on piano reductions of dances for The Lady of The Slipper, and then a trip to NYPL that I postponed from yesterday in order to clean the apartment and do laundry.
Dear Friend BK, soaptalk sounds like a perfect venue for Mr Ashford to discuss the new DECEIT DVD.
TOD:
CD: Guy Haines, Jule Styne in Hollywood, Susan Reed, soundtrack to LILI
DVD: The Virgin Spring, Arms & The Man
VCR: packed away till September (sob!)

In yesterday's misheard English examples, I forgot to mention one of my favorite misheard lyrics:
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has Tom rewritten every line?

JRand - You may be thinking of Ruta, as in Rhoda Ruta.

Nothin' could be cuta
Than to wake up next to Ruta

TOD:
iPod: SONG OF SINGAPORE and the Deutsche Grammophon ON THE TOWN, neither of which I've heard before.
I like a lot of the ON THE TOWN recording. Although I think the Bernstein recording with John Reardon, Comden & Green, et al is close to definitive, "Some Other Time" is better on Michael Tilson Thomas' recording since it doesn't have the pitch problems when the singers break into harmony.
Dylan went to his first screening last night: the new Troma flic POULTRYGEIST.

Or the more famous:
Nothing's more unnerving
Than to wake up next to Irving

DR Jose, how's the tuxedo juncture coming along?

I came across the following unhappy news at another site a couple of minutes ago. Brace yourselves for the sadness of it all.
Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had a bun in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
-
LOL SWW!!

I also watched So You Think You Can Dance last night. I"m not crazy about the audition shows (with the bad dancers). But I LOVE the audition phase in Vegas with all the good ones. It's too bad that they didn't show more of the rehearsals. I love watching that.
It is a shame, because some of the chosen 20 were people we had barely seen. And that isn't really fair once the voting begins.
I did find myself getting emotional for a few contestants. I was sort of sad that the last kid did not get through. And I had tears for the swing guy. That dance he did with his cousin on wednesday (to save himself) was incredible.
I also felt sad that the blonde girl (who was friends with the little kid who made it) did not get through. :(
It will be interesting next week. I love watching the dancers pair up.

TD it is always nice to see your avatar here! And a Bollywood movie in your list!!! I am like a proud papa! LOL!
-
Good morning!
Beautiful here, cool at the moment, but going to be another hot one laster. [sigh]
I'm trying to get the inside as cool as possible before shutting up the doors and windows and living inside what cool air there is.

You are indeed to blame for the Bollywood kick that I've been on with Netflix! Each time one arrives, I think of you. . .and also of all the good things I've been missing.
Recently, I've also seen INDIAN BABU, SHIKAAR and BOLLYWOOD AND VINE from Netflix.
-
My goodness - Matt Ashford AND Ty Treadway on SOAP TALK. I must watch the show. How far in advance do they tape, I wonder. I must consult the listings to see if the show is on tonight.
-
TOD:
CD: My NERVOUS NORVUS cd arrived! Along with that I have been listening to some fun novelty songs sent to me by DR Tomovoz!
DVD: Not sure if I will have any time this weekend to sit down and watch a movie or not...if not then I might finish up the last LEAVE IT TO BEAVER episode on the season 1 set.
DVR: A bunch of stuff.
-
I'm up, I'm up, and though I'm not a chaperone, I'm very drowsy.

Friday Media Check:
CD - AMERICAN IDOL - Season 5: Encores
DVD - THE DETECTIVE
DVR - KNOCKOUT with Arthur Kennedy and Anthony Quinn
laserdisc - EVERYBODY SING!

SoapTalk! Take plenty of merchandise, MR BK!
I agree!!!
I also say take Deceit.. Ty and Lisa know Matt quite well!!
I have seen Matt on there several times via a couple of friends for Soapnet is not available here in the commons.
-
My 2400th post!
Congrats FJL!!
-
I have already listened through the IDOL CD a couple of times. By far my favorite items are Chris Daughtery's "Wanted: Dead or Alive," Paris Bennett's "Midnight Train to Georgia," Elliott Yamin's "Moody's Mood for Love," and Ace Young's "Father Figure."
Ace's vocal for me was surprisingly the most impressive one as he shows more vocal dexterity than he ever showed on the show. Of course, in the studio, there can be multiple takes to smooth out rough patches, something live TV cruelly exposes, but I really liked this rendition.
Paris' song is so expertly delivered that its being only an audio performance jumps her directly to the forefront of the female vocalists this season. Being 17, her visual performance was always off-putting for me, dolled up in outfits that tried to make her far more mature than she was. But just listening to her, her voice is incredibly mature and impressive. You'd never guess she was 17 hearing this.
Elliott's sophistication in his vocal delivery left everyone else in the dust. I will eagerly buy his first solo CD.

Ty is one of hte hosts!!
I have all of matts clips from when he has been on.... {hangs head shamefully}
The one appearance in the past has Matt and Billy Warlock on adn that I think is being rerun this week. I could be wrong so don't quote me on that one.
My ideal movie or telly appearance on a chat show would be Matt Ashford, Stephen Nichols, Tuc Watkins, Pierce Brosnan, Liam Neeson,
-
I hear James E. Reilly is out as headwriter of Days..... Hallelujah!!
I hear Hogan Sheffer is in.... YEEE HAAA!!!
-
Just a little heads-up for DVD buyers:
Deep Discount is having another of their 20% off sales now through the 17th. Enter "DVD TALK" in the code section to get the discount.
I'll be waiting until next Tuesday to order the Grable box as well as VALLEY OF THE DOLLS since I can get a greater discount once they've gone off the pre-order list. (You can't apply the sale to pre-orders.)

Yes, I knew Ty was one of the hosts. He's gotten a couple of Emmy nominations to show for it.
Tuc Watkins - my dream man.

Lisa adores Matt

Matt himself is dealing with Soaptalk - he should be booking it shortly.

Got to head out now for my usual Friday errands.
WBBL.

Matt, STephen, and Tuc!!! Oh yes!!! :)

Friday -- AT LAST!

HOOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a clip of Matt juggling on Soaptalk... Ty suggested chainsaws...
Ty did quite well in juggling
-
I was so tired last night....
[How tired WERE you?]
[cue laugh track]
I was so tired I was in bed at 9:30.
[dead silence]
-
I also liked Ty on One Life to Live.
Matt has worked him there also...

I must have been wrestling my pillows last night because my arms are all achy today.

NO Ron, you were conducting a grand orchestra and the fairest opera singer of the land!!

I was in bed unusually early for me - before 11 pm.... Normal around midnight or 1 in the summer months...

I visited amazon.com and cancelled three pre-orders...the Grable collection Vol. 1, the Gable box, and season 3 of "Lois and Clark."
MattH got me to thinking about saving money...and he's right. Even at pre-order, the Grable box is a dollar cheaper at DeepDiscountDVD than it is at amazon.
I can wait for lower prices on these items I want.
-
Good morning all, finally, it is a bright shiny day in NYC.
-
Back from my errands. It helps when the shopping center where the bank and grocery store are located are only two blocks from the house.
-
I also liked Ty on One Life to Live.
Matt has worked him there also...
I loved Ty on ONE LIFE TO LIVE and quit watching (or caring about the show) for awhile when they wrote him off. I never can understand why popular characters (and attractive gentlemen who play them) get written off these shows. I'm glad he had SOAP TALK to fall back on.

You're lucky that the distribution center for Deep Discount is on your side of the country, so once they send out their items, they get to you quickly. It's usally a week for items to arrive via Media Mail from the West Coast to me here.
But, for those prices, I, too, can wait (albeit impatiently).

I liked his role as Colin/Troy McIver. I will never understand that either. Did you see when he came back and was part of the Music Box Killer Storyline a couple of years ago?

Well, I am glad to have influenced you! I have BOLLYWOOD AND VINE but have not watched it yet...INDIAN BABU has intruiged me...perhaps I should rent it.
TD, you might want to try MY BROTHER NIKHIL...that one has proved very popular with other DRs on this here board.
-
Decided to jog early and get it out of the way. Now I shall shower and get ready to be on my way to Prospect Studios.
-
DR DakotaCelt, was lisa rinna on Days (as billie) at the same time Matt was originally on? That's probably why she knows him so well!

Yes she was on Days in 1992 and 1993 and then again in 2002. She was worked with Matt in some funny scenes. There is one from 02 that was a riot.
-
The present Billie, played by Julie Pinson, bores an uncanny resemblance to Lisa.
Lisa is sometimes a bit too hyper for my liking. Melisssa Reeves was a guest host in 2004 for several shows. Matt has doen some reporting for SoapTalk.
Missy has also done work on CMT.
-
One of hte funnest episodes of SoapTalk was Ty and Matt juggling back and forth. They were quite good. Matt has sung with Christina a couple of times on SoapTalk.
-
There was a show called, The Other Half, and it had Dick Clark and Danny Bonaduce and Matt did some guest hosting on that show
-
Jennifer, parts of Canada get Days and YR the day before the US. Global today will be showing the episode that will air Monday in the US..
-
I shall now be on my way to the Prospect Studios. Then I take Mr. Kev to the airport in the Bur of Bank and then I shall return.
-

I watch Y&R and we get it the day before. Seems unfair. But it's mighty nice to get to find out what happens in advance!
I don't get SoapTalk though.
-
There's an NBC store at nbc.com/daytime. I wonder if there is anyway to get the Deceit dvd sold there?
-
Tuc Watkins - my dream man.
I ran into him at the Post Office about 3 weeks ago; he's quite a nice gentleman. Of course, it helped that I had worked with Catherine Hickland so we had someone in common to talk about.
-
You are always running into people DR Elmore...I think you'd better have your glasses checked.

Not for those of us who hate REilly's writing. It was a way to avoid watching it. There is a person who posts a synopsis of the show... That was my way of finding out WHEN Matt would air.. Mind you it was not often under REilly.

After looking at the shiney face in your new avatar, I need new eyes.

I have posted threads on Soap News and Scoops, SoapCity (This is Day's Sony site), the Connotator... I tried posting it on the nbc one and got banned...
Emails sent to BethsDaysPage and Soaptownusa and these are the bigger ones.

There is one vile site I will not post the infiormation on for they are part of the lunatic fringe and bash anyone, male or female, that Matt has worked with.

Matt Ashford's daughter appears to be following inhis footsteps. She just snagged the part of Marta in "Sound of Music" to be performed at the Hollywood Bowl.

I just got home from "A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION" - the movie - and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's not the greatest film in the world, but if you're a PHC fan, I think you'll really love it. It's cute and lovable. And the cast is great with Lily Tomlin, Meryl Streep, John C. Reilly, Woody Harrelson, Tommy Lee Jones, Lindsay Lohan, Garrison Keeler (of course) and more.
-
Now I am sitting with ice on my foot. One lousy day of wearing sandals and I am back in pain again. This stinks
-
I like Catherine Hickland, too, but they've made her character a recurring one on ONE LIFE TO LIVE for awhile, and that's a shame. Again, these really talented people get relegated to the background or side stories in favor of some others who aren't nearly as good. Tuc, thankfully, does have a really good storyline cooking now, so his place on the show should be secure for awhile.
Matthew Metzger, who was a favorite of mine when he was on the show, was written off a couple of weeks ago. Again, his ouster baffled me.
-
Really funny about PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION. One of our movie critics here in town gave it four stars, his highest rating. The other gave it 2 1/2 stars and said it was barely passable. Funny how opinions can vary so widely, but, of course, we've seen that happen here as well.

I watched the end of OLD ACQUAINTANCE. The last half of the film transfer is much better than the first half.
I still don't think this film is among Davis' better efforts even though it was popular at the time of its release. I'd rather THE GREAT LIE or THE CORN IS GREEN have been chosen for this set.
-
I watched a MURDER SHE WROTE episode on the Biography Channel which I had never seen before. Again, one of the episodes from late in the series' run, it had to do with a motorcycle racer and took place in Japan. Tom Wopat and Pat Morita were among the guest stars.

I rode an elevator with her at the ABC building when I was on my way to a meeting. She looked exactly as she did on tv. That is all.
-
I then watched a CSI episode from the Season 3 boxed set. The episode featured two cases, one starting with a raven found building its nest with a human eyeball, the other an apparent suicide of an unstable woman in an apartment complex. Surprising endings to both cases.
-
Finally, I started EVERYBODY SING on laserdisc. This was one of Judy Garland's pre-OZ features, and though the talent is A-list (Allan Jones, Fanny Brice, Billie Burke, Reginald Gardiner, Monty Wooley), it's definitely an MGM programmer. I'd only seen this once before, and it's in a laserdisc package with LITTLE NELLIE KELLY which I've watched multiple times.
They're trying for a screwball family vibe, similar to YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, but most of it doesn't approach the quality of that classic. Judy's songs, of course, raise the level of everything else on display.
-

I can understand both ratings. I think it depends what you are expecting or looking for. I just went to enjoy some time with my PHC friends and that's what I found, a very enjoyable experience

I know. I oculd not believe they got rid of him...
I have alwasy like Cat HIckland.. It is sad to see talented actors get sidelined
Days viewers know that all to well under the realm of Reilly's reign of terror. Sheffer is taking the riens and I am hoping i can actualy watch again.

This was one of Judy Garland's pre-OZ features, and though the talent is A-list (Allan Jones, Fanny Brice, Billie Burke, Reginald Gardiner, Monty Wooley), it's definitely an MGM programmer. I'd only seen this once before, and it's in a laserdisc package with LITTLE NELLIE KELLY which I've watched multiple times.
They're trying for a screwball family vibe, similar to YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, but most of it doesn't approach the quality of that classic. Judy's songs, of course, raise the level of everything else on display.
If Judy Garland were to come along today, at age 16 or 17, and audition for "American Idol", does anybody think she'd make it to the final 12? If not, why not? If so, why?

Yikes! It's already 97 degrees today. This is July weather and has been for weeks. We haven't had a drop of rain and I'm really sick of it. That is all

Hi folks. Sorry I haven't been in touch but my laptop/wireless card had "issues". I think they are fixed now.

OLTL is the only soap I watch. I started it because Mom watched it and I wanted to have something to talk to her about.
Now, I'm hooked.

IT is only 60 here!

Danise, I have watched OLTL off and on, Todd and Blair ancient history...
I am hoping for Todd and Vangie! I adore the character of Starr.

That is an interesting question! But hard (for me) to answer...I would have to hear her sing in the current popular style since her style of singing would have been more in tune with the era(s) in which she were singing at the time...I would be curious to hear her voice singing one of today's hits in today's style.

I am currently listening to the soundtrack (courtesy of www.raaga.com) of the Bollywood new Lesbian film MEN NOT ALLOWED.

What is find irritating STephen Nichols is off the show for 16 years and the promptly list his name but they have not even listed Matt's yet. GRRR!!
I just find that incredibly stupid....
-
I've been off and on OLTL for years now. I'm currently off it (but keeping up via TV GUIDE's daily synopsis of the episode). Unlike DR DakotaCelt, however, I find Starr Manning highly resistible.
I am VERY unhappy with the turn of events for Kelly and Kevin.

In today's world, she might not make it because - in those kind of shows -- they msotly seem to care about LOOKS more than talents!
Even though, recently here, a winner was a short fat young lady whose first cd is... not selling at all! So.....

There are over 600 ALW songs in a playlist (of course there are really only 5 :P )
and the iPod insists on shuffling in tracks for "Whistle Down the Wind" my least favorite ALW attempt. What's up with THAT?
-
School is officially over. What a year it was. Now, more time to keep up here on HHW. Next year I'll be officially at one place of employment instead of 2, I'm very excited by that. I don't believe I ever had a full time job before. ALways several part-time that combined made full time. It's all, too too exciting.

It's most likely a contractual thing.
In the first season of "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer", David Boreanaz did not get opening credits recognition...rather, he was listed along with the guest stars of each episode.
It's because his being hired came after all the "star-credits-before-the-show-really-starts" negotiations had been made. For Season 2, he was quite prominent.
-
I've recently acquired the Cary Grant Box Collection.
I'm disappointed.
Not in the DVDs.
But in the packaging.
These are all individual movie titles, but they are not in individual keep cases. The entire box is a foldout and the five movies in the set are all meant to be kept in the foldout sections.
This is most annoying. The Cary Grant Signature Collection is full of individual DVDs that lend themselves to filing alphabetically.
Now...I have to pull out the box to see one of the five titles therein.
I think it's a fine way to present a single season of a TV show...but a crap way to present five films by someone the stature of Grant.
It sux, I tells ya....it sux!
-
You must be using my ipod (not that I have or even want one) DR Matthew. "Whistle" would provide some of the few ALW with which I would bother. Guess we've been down this tyre tracks and broken hearts road before. Have a great holiday (aka Vacation I think!)

Back from a longer day than I'd expected. Kevin did very well at SoapNet or Soap Talk or whatever the HELL it's called (he sang, too - If Ever I Would Leave You), and it was nice to see our pianist John Boswell again. What do Days fans think of the young gal who plays Belle?
Kev and I had lunch at Marie Callendar's, and then I dropped him at the Burbank airport, and now I am home - got the four new Betty Grable movies, too, and the new SE of The Omen.

I don't like Belle's charactor. I'm not even sure she's a great actress. I'm getting sick of the Belle/Phillip/Mimi/Shaun storyline so this may be jading my opinion.

Who recalls the young actors who originated Philip and Tara on "All My Children"?

What do Days fans think of the young gal who plays Belle?
It is a mixed bag... she is okay but I dont think she is that strong of an actress. Some people like her on the different boards and some dont. She is the third actress to play her in three years. Kirsten Storms {now Maxie on GH} was the first one to play Belle as a teen. She left in 03 and some soft core porn star named Charity Rahmer played her then Martha Madison took over.
I do not really watch her scenes so I can judge for I have not seen a complete episode of Days in three years since JER started writing. She is not bad but the writing does not help her at all. DR Elmoore knows how bad the writer is Passions and soon to be former Headwriter for Days.
I preferred watching the days Matt and Missy were on. I did not care for the writing and I could not watch.
-

Matthew, the writing stinks....
I prefer the first the Philip played by Jay Kenneth Johnson. He had some talent... Kyle Brandt creeps me out... I hate that story line.... I tend to fast forward it...
IMHO, the character of Belle is a bratty, whiney spoiled princess.
I do have to say, Reilly's writing talents do not help matters either... I cant wait until July... He will be gone!
-
The other annoying characters on Days that could to soapland's dusty bins include Carrie, Austin, Mimi {someone get that actress acting lessons}....
On OLTL .... Please send Antonio and Margaret away...
-
One other character that could go on DAYS; MARLENA!!!!!!!!! She is also known as Marlooney on some boards...
-
However, Kevin had a very sexy bathtub scene on Days....

It's time to go home.

It's time to start the weekend!

It's time to get serious about LIFE!

Excuse My DUST!

Ron, according to IMDB the first
Tara was played by Karen Lynn Gorney .... Tara Martin Tyler Brent Jefferson #1 (1970-1974, 1976-1977, 1995) (original cast)
Philip was played by Richard Hatch http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0368745/
Jordan Charney played the role temporarily in 1976
Philip, Jr. was played by Ian Washam from 1970 to 1976
Just noticed that Elizabeth Taylor was on AMC also...

Weird weather today. 100 degrees here, but not to far to the east, west and north it's only in the 60s. My guess is someone's going to get a heck of a storm tonight
-
I had a funny thing happen tonight. I was in Shopko and had a box of pink hair dye in my hand (still not sure I've got the guts to do it, but I was looking) when who should come up and pat me on the back but the judge I appear before most often. He said he hoped everything was going well for me and I said "I think I'll dye my hair pink, what do you think? Pink or fushia?" LOL, he had the funniest look on his face, I said everything was going well and thanks for asking. But with my "worst haircut ever" My old funky black glasses, while my newer ones get new lenses, and pink hair dye in my hand, I would love to hear what he tells the people at the court house.

I watched Tristan and Isolde last night..
Possible Spoiler
I saw an advertisement somewhere that said "Before Romeo & Juliet there was Tristan & Isolde..."
Seemed more like Arthur & Guenivere & Lancelot to me.....

I liked it, I didn't love it but I liked it

I want to see the Prairie Home Companion movie as well. We have been listening to his Saturday night shows here for the last 20 years....
We have a whole bunch of his Lake Woebegon storiesd in a Cassette tape set we bought about 18 years ago. It's still a favorite companion on long trips
We keep meaning to try and catch his show live at City Hall in NYC but we always find out too late that he's playing there (ie the show is being broadcast) We really must get on an email list for the show!
-
All by myself... guess I'll do a little soft shoe to Me and My Shadow......
-
Cillaliz-LOL
Vixmom, phone call vibes.

Speaking of dancing... the Vixter and I just came back from her Dance Recital Dress rehearsal
Some of those girls are very talented, some are nearly painful to watch, but you must admire their determination... and the little ones (3, 4 & 5 years old) are absolutely adorable!!
-
Hey Jane!!! I was just wondering how you were!
I just found your last email which inexplicably ended up in my SPAM folder which I don't understand as none of your other ones had. I must have hit a wrong button while cleaning out junk...

Here's a link for his upcoming shows http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/schedule/ I'm sure there's probably a link for an email alert of some sort. It's really fun to see live. I'd like to go to the Fitzgerald to see it, I just haven't gotten there yet

Thankyou for that link. No shows close enough to make it possible to go listed at the moment. Hopefully some NY shows will show up.

Sometimes it is to the actor's advantage to receive guest star billing. I remember that Heather Locklear never got listed as a series regular on Melrose Place. She earned more as a guest star.

Matthew, congratulations on the end of the school year and on your full-time position for next year!
-
DR Cillaliz: The judge thinks you finally went over the edge.
DR Vixmom: I hope you get the phone call soon, and that you get the news you want to hear.

This evening I went for a walk, and I saw this lady killdeer on her nest:

A very busy video afternoon and evening here. First up was the conclusion of EVERYBODY SING. Not one of MGM's finest hours, that's for sure. But it's not Judy's fault. She did wonderfully with some of the limp material she was given and a very unflattering set of costumes, especially her outfit for the finale of the show she's appearing in. Dreadful. And her blackface number, which she sang superbly, wasn't something I had remembered.
-
Phone call vibes for VIXMOM ...that is if she hasn't already gotten the call
-
Next was DR. NO which I go back to every few months. I was really trying to decide if it would be DR. NO or GOLDFINGER, and DR. NO won out. I'll probably watch GOLDFINGER at some point over the weekend.
Watching these brings back so many wonderful memories going to these movies every time they came around paired with another James Bond movie after they played individually.
-
Then watched the quickie programmer KNOCKOUT which I had seen many years ago. Hard to imagine Arthur Kennedy as a cocky prizefighter when you see him in so many later roles as anything but an athlete. But it seems like many male stars of that day did one of more films playing a boxer, and he gets away with it in okay fashion.
-
Finally, I cued up PHILADELPHIA for tomorrow. I haven't seen this movie in a long, long time, maybe one other time since it was first released to theaters. The DVD has been sitting unopened on my to-watch shelf for years, so I figured it was time to take another look. It's so devastating to watch this.
Surprisingly, even though this was one of Columbia/ TriStar's earliest DVD releases, it was an anamorphic widescreen release.

i think i'll toddle off to dreamland now... BYE!!

I'm heading to bed myself.
GOod night, all!

I said I didn't have a dvd to watch this weekend but I happeb to see one in Best Buy a public domain release of three of Terence Hill (with Bud Spencer) movies They Call Me Trinity, Trinity is STILL My Name and Boot Hill. The first and second are a lot of fun The latter I haven;t seen in a long time and I am looking forward to seeing it. I don't think I have seen Boot Hill, but it did have a lot of different English names so I may have seen it.
