Well, I've made it back to the office. It's great to see everyone again, but I'm getting a little weary of retelling the story of my heart attack. I should make a power point presentation and keep it repeat play on my laptop.
DR TOMovOZ what were you reading last when you wore your glasses...are you sure they are not in your car?Searched both cars thoroughly DR Jack Also searched through the trash (No. I don't mean the Bette Midler recordings), the laundry etc.
I know that DRMBARNUM (friend of Rad Fulton) really loves APRIL IN PARIS, but I have to agree with DR MATTH about the pairing of Bolger and Day...ZERO ZERO ZERO. Bolger just didn't have "IT."
I didn't necessarily buy Day as a stripper named Dynamite chosen to represent the Arts in Paris....
And well...as Judy G. said about Ray: "Different music - same god damned dance."
LOL....well when I first saw the movie when I was nine years old....a chorus girl WAS a stripper!Great response JRand. LOL
Just thought of a stage musical that really worked (for me) as a filmed musical - Little Shop of Horrors.
Great response JRand. LOL
After my trips to New York this year, I think it's time to start saving up for a big change.

"Titanic" auteur commits to long-planned "Avatar" project.

Nearly 10 years after James Cameron made "Titanic," the record-breaking filmmaker said Monday that he's finally ready to step behind the cameras again.
Cameron's "Avatar," a science-fiction adventure set 150 years in the future, will start production this spring, with a scheduled summer 2009 release by 20th Century Fox. For now, Cameron's other contemplated feature, "Battle Angel," is on hold.
…
The movie, which combines live action and animation, will be made with some of the same performance-capture animation techniques used in movies such as "Monster House" and "The Polar Express." Cameron says his process will offer numerous refinements, especially in its depiction of facial expressions and physical action. The movie will be filmed with digital cameras and shown in 3-D theaters.
…
Cameron said 95% of the film unfolds on Pandora, a moon of a giant gas planet. Pandora features a lush tropical forest rich in striking plant and animal species, and its inhabitants have been targeted for exploitation.
…
When Cameron made "Titanic," he cast at its center two actors without much name recognition at the time: - Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Both, of course, went on to be huge stars. For "Avatar," Cameron has cast two more under-the-radar performers: 30-year-old Aussie actor Sam Worthington ("The Great Raid," "Hart's War") will play the film's hero, Jake, and 28-year-old Zoe Saldana ("Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," "Drumline") his love interest.
"It's a dreadful, dreadful thug."
Boss-listening-to-you (and doing something about it) vibes to Cilla
I love this movie but I love the stage version better (unless it's done badly...and I've seen it done very badly :P). I also have the recalled special edition DVD with the original ending in the bonus section. ;D
I enjoyed MAMMA MIA, DR CILLALIZ! It's fun...it is what it is.
And of course we look forward to details tomorrow about the show and the office!
Give it a lot of thought. I think you make a charming women.

The fabled Ghan, one of the world's great rail trips, threads its way through the Outback, where the wild things star.
By Beverly Beyette, Times Staff Writer
January 7, 2007
…
I had come to Australia to ride the Ghan, the legendary train that bisects the country, traveling from Adelaide in the south to Darwin in the north. It's sometimes called the "Hundred Year Dream"; the last track was laid just two years ago, capping nearly a century of struggle to connect one end of this great emptiness to the other.
All told, the trip takes 48 hours, two full days of slicing through a land that is Texas times five. It is rugged and it is real, an antidote to the too-well-trod territories that are beginning to crowd the planet.
And if it's an authentic experience you're after, throw in my ride on a camel whose castration was botched, and it hardly gets more real than that.
…
And soon enough, Darwin loomed in the distance as the Ghan trip wound down. I had fulfilled my wish to do the land Down Under by train and was still amazed at how Australia's huge piece of nothing could be quite something, even if I never saw that 'roo.
However, what I find stranger then the pairing of Doris and Ray in this film is the pairing of Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astair in FUNNY FACE....don't get me wrong, I absolutely love that film....but Fred looked old enough to be Audrey's grandfather and it was sort of creepy.
For litigation skills, performance and results for clients I got the highest score. For playing well with others I got a lower score.
Doesn't everyone? :-*
I'm sure the clients appreciate your priorities :)

Thanks Elmore. I should add that the eval was sort of Dance 10 Looks 3, For litigation skills, performance and results for clients I got the highest score. For playing well with others I got a lower score.
DR Cillaliz - I still know some of the folks out with the Mamma Mia! tour. A lot of the cast members that were out on the tour when I was with it are now here in NYC as part of the Broadway company, but there are still a few "road warriors" out there. And most of the keyboard staff is still the same. If you happen to get down to pit, please say, "Hi!", to Bill, Chris and Emily for me. -I think Bill is now the lead conductor on the tour.
But did you pay as much for it as I did?? Prob'ly not!
;)
I love "We're walking....we're walking" if I recall I said that several times on the last HHW walk. DR Jose, how far did we walk that day? Not sure I want to know, lol
I bought it the day it was released at Tower Records for about $15, as I recall.
BREAKING NEWS>>>>>>
My cat Callie has acne, now that cracked me up..
Well... I actually tried to approximate the route on Google maps yesterday for the both HHW walks. For the premiere HHW Walking and Eating and Walking and Eating Tour, the distance was either 6-1/4 miles or 7-1/2 miles. -All depends if you did or did not hop the A-Train back up to Times Square from 14th Street (Chelsea Market).
For the Central Park-East Side Tour (a.k.a. The Sarabeth's to Serendipity Tour), the distance was about 5-1/2 miles.
Now where, pray tell, does a cat get acne?
Been feeding Callie chocolate? ;)
"Have you ever been to an Egyptian...feast"
It's on her chin. We think maybe when the catsitter gave her the liquid medicine it got on her chin and wasn't wiped off.

I saw - for the first time in 20 years - my friend Loren Sklamberg of The Klezmatics. They're up for a Grammy.

Where was that again?

DR TOMovOZ what were you reading last when you wore your glasses...are you sure they are not in your car?
Searched both cars thoroughly DR Jack
And, yes, they do do mail order. :)
Boy, we're sure slowed down from yesteday's posting frenzy.
Florida is currently handing Ohio State a "whuppin'" in the national championship NCAA game.
A few minutes ago, they led 34-14. Don't know if OSU can come back. If they can, then they deserved their number 1 ranking. If not, I'm afraid I'm going to believe they were severely overrated most of the season...much as it seems was Michigan.
The problem between Ray and Doris wasn't age (though he's clearly older) but his total lack of sexiness.
Fred Astaire's dancing with a woman in his arms made him sexy. Ray Bolger's slap happy, goofy dancing wasn't the least bit sexy.
One of the things I've learned about the internet: dollars to donuts, there's someone, somewhere, out there who thinks Ray Bolger is sexy.
Hello, gorgeous.
Has to be "Blood Feast"!
You certainly have a lot of favorite quotes, DR RLP.
Good Evening!
DR Ron Pulliam - I, too, have a favorite quote from "Outrageous Fortune". Alas, it truly is not appropriate for a family-friendly site. However, it starts off something like this: (Danny DeVito's character) "I'm sorry she can't talk to you right now..."
For those of you who remember the rest of that line... ;D
For those of you who don't know the line and/or never saw the movie... Probably best to keep it that way. ;)
That's "Ruthless People", DR Jose! "Outrageous Fortune" is the one with Shelley Long and Bette Midler discovering that the man they'be both been sleeping with ISN'T dead...and it's in the morgue that they discover that his so-called remains have a feature that positively means it isn't HIM.
Hmm... I guess I did know a couple of movie quotes... OH! And I'd have to say my favorite movie-type quote - and I say "movie-type" since it's not from a Hollywood-type film, but rather from a documentary of sorts - is from the tour that Jacqueline Kennedy is giving of the White House....
"This is a painting. And this is another painting..."
*Hmmm.... Am I remembering this correctly? Or am I thinking of a comedy skit? Hmm..
Well, since I have to get up "early" to move my car, and, hopefully, finally make it to IKEA in the morning...
Goodnight.
I don't know of this. It could be an SNL skit, I guess.
I think Jackie may have referred to various paintings "as" paintings (the obvious) but she probably went on to say who each was by and what each was of.
Good night.
And I'll leave it to others to reveal some of their favorite quotes, if they should have any.
Is this Heaven? No, it's Iowa
I watched selected scenes from THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and CORPSE BRIDE.

Well, if you'd like more recipes... I have a great one for Lemon Chess Pie. *Although, I have to say my favorite "Chess" pies are Brown Sugar, and Chocolate-Pecan. Sooooooo goooooooood.
