Well, you've read the notes, the notes were quite mutated, and now it is time for you to post until the mutant cows come home.

And the word of the day is: LACHRYMOSE!

Sad to be all alone in the world.

Well, if no one wants to play then it's time to toddle off to the bedroom environment.

I spy an Adriana Patti - I'll leave it to her to carry on in the grand mutant tradition.

Le Chic Chick tip of the day!
Be Informed: Read the headlines of the news paper and know your current suppoundings. Even if you do not feel strongly on an issue, you should be able to have an intelligent conversation about it.
It is cold in my room!
Tomarrow will be a VERY fun day, one I am looking forward too quite alot!

my that post was riddled with spelling errors

I am currently listening to nothing ( no time), have the manchurian candidate still in my dvd player(no time), and need to have the brain script ready, so I do not forsee a future in music listening or home movie watching for me until tuesdayish!

goodnight!
*hugs and good vibes to all*
-
Good morning, fellow Dear Readers. It is 1:49 a.m. and I cannot sleep. That is all.
-
Good morning, all! I want to thank you all for the vibes on behalf of my Dad. He's in good spirits and I hope the pulmonary procedure today gets him over this hump and gives him a bit more time. I suspect this year may be his last; after several crises last year with the cancer, I'm happy he's still around.
My day is full of usual routine: Toyland first, then ANNIE GET YOUR GUN. Goddaughter Charlotte called yesterday about seeing DREAMGIRLS this Sunday, so we'll hopefully do that, meaning tomorrow at some point is laundry day.
TOD:
CD: The Brain rough mix, Guy Haines, My Fair Lady
DVD: MONK Season 1 (I never saw the first season; from what I've seen, it's the best season), a couple of operas
VCR: Cheap porn
-
Best of breaking legs vibes to MR BK and DR ADRIANA PATTI as their show goes up today! I am sure it will be a smashing success!
Pictures would be nice.

I just finished listening to the John Raitt, Barbara Cook Showboat. I also have The Fantasticks, She Loves Me, 70 Girls 70, 1776, Merrily We Roll Along, Mack & Mabel, A Little Night Music and Follies here at the office.
We will watch Ugly Betty sometime this weekend. We will also watch more As Time Goes By tonight. DR Larry gave us some fun movies which we will probably watch on Saturday or Sunday.
Winter weather seems to have arrived in New York. We have flurries right now and it's supposed to be cold (although 32 degrees isn't exactly frigid in my humble opinion) all weekend.
That's all for now. Hi and Bye to JR

"There's Always Something to Celebrate" said DR FJL. That sounds like the title of a Cy Coleman song, doesn't it?
There's always something to celebrate.
It's never too early - it's never too late.
It could be something you love or something you hate,
But: there's always something to celebrate!

Bye DR BEN.

Now, as DRs FRANCOIS and JMK pointed out, the DVD entitled YOUR HOST, WALT DISNEY does indeed contain the Disneyland sequence of the Mouseketeers doing songs from a proposed version of "The Rainbow Road to Oz."
I am not certain that it would have been a success, and I didn't look quick enough to see who wrote the songs we saw - but the choreography, makeup, and costumes were cute(Bobby was the scarecrow and Sharon was the Patchwork Girl. Annette was Ozma, the princess.
The finale song was the best - the title song with everyone in costume marching up a big cake and then down again.
-
I like this picture even though it makes me sad. :'(

I'm not sure if anyone has commented on this. But i wanted to say something about last night's UGLY BETTY.
big spoilers
*
*
*
I loved that betty is now back at mode with daniel. And i love their little escapade. Very good show. But re: the ending. Okay they cast rebecca romijn (sp?) as the bandaged woman. Now i love this idea much better than their original idea (it being fay). But come on. Are we supposed to be stupid? To me at least it was pretty clear that the bandaged woman was older and that she is now a totally different person. Are we not supposed to realize this (just because they changed direction with the story?) Although that said, i loved the revelation. It is going to be so fun!
-
Vibes for DR Elmore's father. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DR FJL i think you should go see kristin. Just try to take some sort of couch meds before you go and bring plenty of unwrapped cough drops for the show.
Oh and re: me not liking survivor contestant jp's personality. There was another cutie (adam) whose personality i also could not stand. To me if they are irritating or obnoxious it makes me dislike them no matter how cute they may be.

TCM is running a very funny commercial for it's showing of THE ODD COUPLE tonight. It's edited in such a way that the movie resembles an angst filled William Inge drama. Very cute.
-
It's Friday, so it must be time for...
MEDIA CHECK
iPod: ANNIE OCR -- this is the remasted version and I don't like it at all! So much of the orchestra is muted, particularly the brass section which used to contribute so much to the sound of the show. And poor Danielle Brisebois is faded to a whisper. Who remixed this thing? The original LP, with its schizo quad/stereo mix, sounded way better.
Tivo: SCRUBS and SMALLVILLE
DVD: SNL SEASON ONE--finally got my replacement copy. I'll start digging into this tonight.
-

Talk about mutant! How about mutant vibes, DR ELmo. Every time I see that you're logged on, I log on and you're gone. Oh well, I'll leave you a post anyway cause as soon as I log out, you'll log back on. Ahh, Haines Way Web Tag. Anyway, good vibes, not mutant vibes to your dad -- and you -- and your entire family. I see you gave specifics for the CD and DVD, but a generic "cheap porn" for the VCR. Title please (I want to see if we're watching the same one -- :o)

DR Ron ~ You so funny! (I got busy yesterday and didn't get back to comment on your "No sechs please .... we're British!" posting -- so a day late and a dollar short...) We did that play at a civic theatre in Texas -- I played one of the hookers (hence my interest in DR Elmo's VCR entry..)......
-
Have lots more postings (want to help BK keep those numbers up and help you HHWayers get to page 7 which always seems to excite everyone), but alas, no time. Gotta run -- got sucked in to doing more costuming at the civic theatre. Family Theatre this time -- "The Butterfly" Yes, lots (cast of thousands, of course) of bugs/insects/fuzzy little creatures. I'm off (to the theatre, my rocker, in space -- insert appropriate phrase here)..
-
..well, at least I got us to page 2. I'll leave it up to someone else to post the "Page 2 Dance" artwork...

OH!! And Look! I'm no longer a "newbie" -- I'm now a little Junior BK. Do I get any sparkling prizes?! I look like two little stars on top of a computer now, DR Jane.
-
Good morning!
It's a beautiful but cold day in the neighborhood. Should make the various errands I need to do today (ATM, post office, grocery store) pleasant. No chance of getting overheated.
The forecast, however, is for more snow and sleet for the weekend - a wintry mix, they call it. It pretty much missed us yesterday, so I'll be curious to see if we can beat the odds again this weekend.
-
Reading DR Ben's post: I have SUCH fondness for the barbara Cook-John Raitt SHOW BOAT. No, it's not the most theatrical sounding disc, but it was the first version of SHOW BOAT I ever owned on LP, and it will always remain one of my favorites. I got to see Barbara Cook at Lincoln Center do the role, and I have that cast album, of course, but I honestly think she's better on the Columbia studio cast with Raitt.

Good morning Mike, and all the DRs in & out of here........
Oh my.... I read now headings of "in my Tivo" and "in my ipod"...oh dear! I'm feeling even closer to Miss Lillian Gish (drop a name!!) who I sat and chatted with (thud - another drop).
Oh well.. TOD:
CD - Finished listening to the entire unabridged book of "Kavalier and Clay" and absolutely loved it! Does anyone here know about any details of the planned film??

Hiya, gang!
Elmo! Vibes for your dad's continued life among us, incorporate.
Okay, so the news is - I will have my BA by August. I take 2 classes on Monday night and 2 on Tuesday night, into early June (with absences while I head off to my house in the woods, of course!), then do some online stuff over the summer - badabing! Bachelor of Arts. The accredited school is called Ryokan U, and yes, it IS one-a those New-Agey institutes... they will accept ALL of my undergrad units, and I signed up yesterday. Already missd the first 2 weeks, but they don't care, so long as the check clears... and I show up for at least some of it.
Which means that by this time next year, I'll be finishing up my Masters Degree in Spiritual Psych. Right about the time I'll need it, when I trot out the New Book in front of the New Age-type publishers - Jeremy Tarcher will be first, I tell ya.
New Book working title is: Endings - Leaving, Grieving, Letting Go. And, yes, it is a musical...
-
Speaking of which, what theater is today's final dress at??? I'd like to come have a look!
-
Wow! Love the albino peacock!!! Some day, I'll have a yard with peacocks...
-
Well, looks like it's just you an' me, jeanne!
-
Do you know where the run-thru is??
-
I know! I'll email Bruce and get the time and place!!
-
PennyO - theater is The Colony - the dress is at three. The Colony is in Burbank on Third Street, same side of street as Ikea - free parking. I take Burbank Blvd. to Third, turn right, look for Ikea and the next block you'll see The Colony sign and turn into the next place, which is the big parking structure.
-
Oh, and I'm up.
-
Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see
-
Bruce, if I'm coming on the 101, towards you, gimme directions - they don't call me Wrong Way for nothin'-
-
Yeah - and whatta day! (oh - can I bring someone - one of your fans - to the theater?)
-
Easiest way - get off as if you were going to my house (at Laurel Canyon). Go NORTH instead of south (if coming south on the 101 you turn left from the off ramp - if coming north turn right). Go to Burbank Blvd. and take it all the way to Third Street - it's about five miles, and Burbank dead ends just before Third.
-
Bring anyone you like.

Are we still on page two?

One of my teeth is aching when the medicine hits it.

Big mistake going to the office yesterday. Should have tried to work from home.
But i guess wanting to feel better to see a Kristin Chenoweth concert wouldn't have been a good excuse to give the folks in the office. :)
-
Playing a game of "What if" as in What if I really decide not to go to the concert?
Julie can sit in the seat I originally got for myself. Milla's back in row Y, maybe I could upgrade her to one of the unused seats. And Jose will use the extra ticket that's going unused from another friend.
A sticky ticket wicket.
-
I certainly don't want to leave any seat empty. Because then, even though it's sold out, people will say "well, I saw empty seats" and then that would be my fault. And I don't want anything to be my fault, especially questions about whether the Chenoweth concert was 100% sold out.
:)

'Morning all! 3 quick things:
1) This site has only provided me more conclusive evidence that my mother is a wonderfully odd duck. And a quick wit, if I may say so...
2) TOD: CD Player - The Guy Haines' vocal tracks of "The Brain." Methinks I need an Original Cast Album to replace that one, as much as I love to hear Guy Haines sing "Good Girl/Bad Girl" and "Bring Me An Earthman."
DVD Player - The second season of "The Office" - American.
3) Vibes for my play's first run-through/designer's run! There have been steps forward, steps backward, and steps in other sundried directions these past couple of weeks...so now we'll see just where we are at. Yet, at this point, any good vibes would not be wasted - in fact, they would be very much appreciated!
-
Friday greetings! It's an information-waitressing day for me, which is why I'm late logging on here. We're fairly busy today.
Media check - CD(car) - I'm about to finish the audiobook version of Lee Smith's On Agate Hill, which I've enjoyed very much and which makes me want to visit western North Carolina again.
On my iPod, I'm listening to Byrn Terfel's Tutto Mozart to accompany my reading of Jane Glover's Mozart's Women. It's my book group selection for February.
DVD/VCR - Will DH Richard have connected our new combo player by the time I get home from work?

Excellent vibes and xylophones to Cason and his show and cast. Be sure to let us know exact dates and times so that we Los Angeleszians can make the trek.

Cough-supression vibes for DR FJL - you don't want to miss Kristin! We saw her with the Cincinnati Pops 2 years ago.

DR Rodzinski,
I got your DVD-R in the mail this morning before noon, so if we keep our fingers and toes crossed, maybe you'll get it by Monday. I sent it 1st class.
-
Easiest way - get off as if you were going to my house (at Laurel Canyon). Go NORTH instead of south (if coming south on the 101 you turn left from the off ramp - if coming north turn right). Go to Burbank Blvd. and take it all the way to Third Street - it's about five miles, and Burbank dead ends just before Third.
Would i turn right or left on Burbank, to get to Third??
-
Since I didn't buy the Taylor-Burton boxed DVD set, and they're not selling THE VIPs separately (at least not yet), I went ahead and recorded if off TCM this week so I could burn myself a DVD-R of it. I burned one for a friend the last time the movie came on TCM, but I didn't get one for myself.
Of course, I haven't gone to Ebay to see if anyone is selling THE VIPs apart from the boxed set. That worked out well for TOO MANY GIRLS. Perhaps lightning will strike twice for me.
-
These seating concerns may sound trivial, so i hope nobody's googling these posts twenty years from now and drawing conclusions as to what really concerned me while the world was in crisis.

Re: last night's musical SCRUBS.
I don't normally watch this show, but i loved it.
I loved Stephanie (AVENUE Q girl) as the patient who hears songs. And i thought the rest of the cast was great (especially zach).
My favorite parts were: 1) the guy song, 2) the quick worded song one of the doc's sang. I think my least favorite part was the GREASE parody. But all in all there were so many fun moments. And the story seemed to make perfect sense.
-
Do you know where the run-thru is??
Hi, Penny,
Colony Theatre in Burbank, I believe. Party Animals Live has a website by that name, which will probably have specifics.

Oh, wait, I'm already married (the Miss part is just a ruse, DR Elmo calls me Ms Karen and I typed it in wrong when I signed up) so if you do have all that circus money, adopt me). Can you put another pharenthesised clause within an already established pharenthesis? Comments from you grammar masters out there? Oh forget it, I dont' really care.

oops, what happened there?...my post became part of DR MBarnum's post -- smack dab in the middle of it, too. (I bet that's a first for the HHW site.) And what a strange spot to be caught between: Ballet Russes and episodes of Bat Masterson...hmmmm. I've got all kinds of tricks up my sleeve.

Wow! Love the albino peacock!!! Some day, I'll have a yard with peacocks...
Just a yard? From the looks of the pic, I'd say that tail is six feet across, at least!

see, right between Ballet Russes and Bat Materson -- does that mean my quote is now on his machine or that my words are now part of his words? I wonder what the rules are in cyperspace? Now that's a mutation! Or as befitting todays' theme -- "The Mutant Notes"

(I'm referring to my post, reply #93).. it is most perplexing .. and funny.... I wonder if I can now go and put words, thoughts and random phrases in all of your notes...Then who will know what you really said and really didn't...Oh my, this could be the end of HHW as we know it....just kidding. It was a random, by accident event....so I won't mess with your postings....

DVD - Doctor Who: Spearhead From Space - the first story featuring Jon Pertwee, and the first to be filmed in colour.
And Field of Dreams, which I chanced upon in widescreen and with oodles of extras at the store. For just ten bucks. Der B and I also spotted it at Borders in Philly, for more than ten bucks, and Pennsylvania charges sales tax.
BOOK - Still reading Botany of Desire by Pollan. I'm on the chapter about marijuana. And there's also Best Food Writing of 2006, filled with numerous articles of varying interest.

Dear Miss Karen -
When commenting on and quoting another's posts, using brackets (which look like "[" and "]" ) helps. Simply quoting another's post and commenting afterwards is easiest - just make sure you start writing your comments after the bracket-slash-quote-endbracket at the end of the quoted passage.

Okay, enough clowning around. Serious question, Mr BK (or any of you in the know):
Say you have a play where the character is going to dance (or actually model some clothes) to some music for less than 25 seconds, can you use any song you want? For example, say the character comes out in top hat and tails, could you use a 20 second bite of "Putting on the Ritz"? I ask because a guy with the local Access channel said you could use any music if it's a bite less than 25 seconds. I didn't know if he was BSing me, or really in the know.

I am so rarely listening to a CD when we do our Friday thing, but today I have a great CD by the French band Tahiti 80. "Fosbury" is the title. It's from last year, and if you like lite but intelligent sparkling pop, this stuff is pure gold.

For her birthday, I got TPunk and myself in to see Kathy Griffin at Carnegie Hall this evening, so I hope that is enjoyable.

Good luck on finding the DVD MattH! Maybe Ebay will come through!
I myself keep hoping to find the DVD of STORM WARNING apart from the rest of the Ronald Reagan set...that is the only movie from the set that I want so I don't want to buy the whole set!
Although it is one of my top 10 favorite films.

Plenty of vibes for DR Cason. I wish that I could be in LA to see your directorial debut!

Obviously, I'm posting to myself (but at least I'm helping us inch toward page 7), so I'm out of here and will check back later to see what answers have come in regarding using other people's music without having to pay for it....
Bollywood movies do it all of the time...although they don't bother with the 25 second limit!
In fact I saw one 1970s Bollywood movie where part of the plot spoofed that exact thing....the character stole popular songs from western countries and used them in films putting his name as the author of the songs. It was quite amusing because it really happens.

re: last night's "Ugly Betty":

Sigh.

Had a fun afternoon of viewing.
I began with last night's SMALLVILLE, the first mission of the Justice League of America. Lots of comic book-level fun, and I really enjoyed it.
The actor who is playing the Green Arrow (Jason Hartley) is actually the actor who was hired to play Aquaman in the CW pilot that wasn't picked up to be a series this year. How strange it must have been for him and Alan Ritchson (who's played Aquaman twice now on SMALLVILLE) to be featured in the same episode.
spoiler
I'm going to miss the Green Arrow now that his story arc has been concluded. I think he added a wonderful new dimension to the show with his presence during the first half of the season.
-
I meant to mention the beautiful peacock picture from earlier today. Thanks so much for posting it!
-
Next was a very funny MY NAME IS EARL with director John Waters doing a typically strange and very amusing cameo as a mortician.
-
THE OFFICE was funny, too, with salesman Andy driving everyone crazy (and Jim and Pam's revenge), Dwight working at Staples, and Oscar finally coming back to the office (though he had a brief cameo in the Christmas episode). Enjoyed the episode very much.

SCRUBS was lots of fun, too, with the cute little ditties written for the cast and fitting their personalities to a "t." I liked the GREASE parody very much, but all of it was beautifully done with the original music, choreography, and hilarious solo moments for each of the main players. Carla (Judy Reyes) surprised me by having a very souful voice.
-
I finshed the afternoon with the movie PHFFFT! I'd never seen this all the way through, but it came on TCM this morning, and I recorded it so I could watch the entire thing.
I don't think it can hold a candle to THE SOLID GOLD CADILLAC, THE MARRYING KIND, or IT SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOU, but it was still very entertaining, and it was nice seeing Jack Lemmon pairing so well once again with Judy Holliday.
-
Tonight, I'll have 30 ROCK and SUPERNATURAL (which I'd rather see when it's dark) to watch before MONK comes on.

3) Vibes for my play's first run-through/designer's run! There have been steps forward, steps backward, and steps in other sundried directions these past couple of weeks...so now we'll see just where we are at. Yet, at this point, any good vibes would not be wasted - in fact, they would be very much appreciated!

On my iPod, I'm listening to Byrn Terfel's Tutto Mozart to accompany my reading of Jane Glover's Mozart's Women. It's my book group selection for February.
DR Ginny, I've been meaning to talk to you about the Mozart book. I think your group should watch on DVD a Mozart opera as well!
Yes, I am back from my day of incident! My dad had a 7-inch needle inserted into his lungs though his back (ugh!), a lot of fluid was drained and he is now home with my brother, sister-in-law, and lady friend. I just spoke to one and all. We'll know more on Monday. Please keep those vibes coming!
DR Miss Karen, I'm sorry I missed you this morning! I had places to see and things to be!
-
Oh, and there are new episodes of MONK and PSYCH tonight, for those who are interested. I am.
I will definitely watch PSYCH! No more new MONK episodes. Ony series one and two!

For her birthday, I got TPunk and myself in to see Kathy Griffin at Carnegie Hall this evening, so I hope that is enjoyable.
I LOVE Kathy Griffin! I'm so jealous! I'm sure you'll have a great time! ;D

I'm wimping out on going to see Chenoweth at the Met tonight. The cough is too annoying, and got worse because of going out into the cold last night, and I must must must work tomorrow. I'm hoping Jose (and laso Julie) will provide detailed reports.

Now, as DRs FRANCOIS and JMK pointed out, the DVD entitled YOUR HOST, WALT DISNEY does indeed contain the Disneyland sequence of the Mouseketeers doing songs from a proposed version of "The Rainbow Road to Oz."
I am not certain that it would have been a success, and I didn't look quick enough to see who wrote the songs we saw - but the choreography, makeup, and costumes were cute(Bobby was the scarecrow and Sharon was the Patchwork Girl. Annette was Ozma, the princess.
The finale song was the best - the title song with everyone in costume marching up a big cake and then down again.
I always thought Bobby would be perfect as Glinda!

Like focus, I go in and out of HHW. I'm having some dinner and chilling at the computer before I accomplish a bit more work.
So no one knows who this one-name singer is? I am wondering why she requested to join my list of friends? Guilt at being recorded by a company who shall remain nameless?

You'll have to ask BK. I didn't get one.
That will be my first question for him the next time the day's notes end with "It's Ask BK Any Question"
-
DR MISS KAREN - ask your question again...I am sure DR ELMORE knows the answer.
My quick guess is that you are talking about sampling - 25 seconds seems to be a long time - and most music is broadcast protected prohibited for television or radio airplay with license.

I think the picture of the Monkey God posted by DR MBARNUM fits the title of the notes perfectly.

Whelp, time for dinner. I'll try to check back later to see 1) If you all made it to page 7 and 2) to see if anyone answered by question (no, DR Elmo, not about what's in your VCR -- since you want to play coy -- but the one about the laws regarding using other people's music and not paying for it). Cheerio, all!

I just got a call from my friend Margo. Her kids are having sleepovers at friends and she wanted to know if I wanted to go to the movies...because she doesn't have her kids! I said yes. We've decided to go to "Children of Men" with Clive Owen (always nice to look at ;)) and Julianne Moore. I think it's gotten good reviews. We'll see how it really is. :)
Until later!
-
Oh, I almost forgot...Topic of the Day: Media check:
Recording on my DVR: tonight's "Las Vegas" and something else that I forget.
In my CD player at work (that I'm just about to leave): OCR to I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change (album produced by our very own BK). A local theater group is doing it next month and I have only listened to it a couple of times. I just got it late last year, so I don't know it. I did enjoy it the first couple of times I heard it.
In my VCRs or DVD players: nothing...yet.

SMALLVILLE SPOILERS
Had a fun afternoon of viewing.
I began with last night's SMALLVILLE, the first mission of the Justice League of America. Lots of comic book-level fun, and I really enjoyed it.
The actor who is playing the Green Arrow (Jason Hartley) is actually the actor who was hired to play Aquaman in the CW pilot that wasn't picked up to be a series this year. How strange it must have been for him and Alan Ritchson (who's played Aquaman twice now on SMALLVILLE) to be featured in the same episode.
spoiler
I'm going to miss the Green Arrow now that his story arc has been concluded. I think he added a wonderful new dimension to the show with his presence during the first half of the season.
I had no idea that Oliver was hired to be the new aquaman. I absolutely love him (and really dislike the guy they've shown us twice now on smallville). I am really disappointed that he isn't going to be on the show anymore. He was so good. I think the show has been much better since he's been on.
-
Elmore, I think BK knows who she is.

I had a lovely luncheon with DR Kerry this rainy afternoon.
-
How nice. How is he?
-
Our plan was to have friends over tomorrow night. Unfortunately they are both sick, nothing serious. Fortunately they cancelled just before we went to the market to purchase the ingredients to make dinner, and just after Sherlock had a bath. Keith didnt think he needed one & I used the company as an excuse to give Sherlock a bath. Hey, when the dog sleeps snuggled in your arm at night it is much more enjoyable when said dog smells fresh and clean.
-
DR Kerry is doing just fine. He sent home some Oreo Cake that he has had in the freezer.
-
That sounds yummy.
-
Yes, my DH is enjoying it.
-
Back from a really obnoxious day. Two awful problems - one cast-related (but all is okay) and one personal (who knows?). Blechhh. The run, when we finally did it, went well.

Perhaps I'll eat thirty pieces of See's candy right now, since my Marie Callendar's yucky tuscan chicken pasta cheesy bacon-crusted parmesian gooey cretinous dish wasn't too much to my liking. Not bad (I did eat it all up), but not something I'd ever order again.

Friday evening greetings! For a 4-day work week, this one was pretty grueling and I'm so-o-o-o-o ready for my 3-day weekend. Especially since this one has no commitments - stuff to do, yes, but I can do it on my own timetable.
DR Elmore - thanks for the Mozart info. This afternoon I discovered
Reber Mozart Hearts (http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=33717&itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1&keyword=48059)
to order from Vermont Country Store. Since I'm hosting the meeting when we'll discuss Mozart's Women on Feb. 15, I think they'll make a nice addition to my menu for refreshments.

Don't know if you all remember my client from last summer who was arrested with a moving van full of guns. Well he had his sentencing today. It went well. He went from being classified as a threat to society to a collector who had some firearms that were illegal. He was thrilled with the outcome. Here's a preliminary newspaper story.

And dear Esteemed and lovely BK -- nosh on a little something tasty, watch something fun or interesting, and let the less than great parts of the day drain away.
I'm sorry you had a "yucky drek" quotient as part of your day today. I was annoyed by something at a store the other day, and out of a spur of the moment impulse, I just looked at the clerk and said "what is it, fish?" Honest ! And you know what.... it kind of diffused the anger or tension I was feeling.
The clerk looked at me like she didn't know whether to shit or go blind, but I really didn't care. I felt better and lighter.
It was more rewarding than vomiting on the ground at that point. :)

I've spent the last couple of hours listening to CDs.
Actually, one CD in particular which has stunned me.
I love David Hobson's classical work.
But his "Cinema Paradiso" is a-MAZ-ing.
I've played a few of the tracks multiple times. "The Rose" has never been as beautifully rendered, IMO.
Whenever a musical performance transcends my expectation, I find myself enriched. This is a transcendent album.
Thanks, Tommy!

Kathy Griffin was funny. I was not really a fan prior to this evening, but she really gets the crowd going. Sold out Carnegie Hall. She really puts herself on the line naming names, talking trash about people. It's not like she picks on innocent folks, so it works pretty well.

...I'm back from Kristin Chenoweth's concert at The Met. A thoroughly enjoyable evening for many, many reasons.
I guess the best way to sum it up for me would be as follows:
-The concert made you glad to be in love.
-The concert made you want to be in love if you weren't.
-And if you're not currently in love with someone special right now, that's OK too.
Details to follow...
-
I am stunned! Other than The Supremes, my other favorite group from the Sixties was the Mamas & the Papas. And Papa Denny was my favorite of the four. His soaring voice was the heart of their music. Someone once called his voice "angelic" (which I'm sure he hated), but it is a perfect description.
-
...And since I came home to a party that one of my roommates is throwing... -And since I'm playing auditions from 9-5 tomorrow... and Sunday... :-\ ... I shall have to catch up at another time.

And so untrue to the character of MONK that he wouldn't be able to see through the guy, if not at first then certainly later. But he allowed the guy to get the gun out of his hands even after the guy had shown his true colors. Oh, what a disappointment!
When the Captain is able to figure out the solution to the mystery before Monk, there is something terribly wrong with the episode.
-
I have a real problem with MONK as well. Didn't see this episode, but sometimes they stretch the comedy way too far, and often wreck some decent plots.
-
Before I watched MONK, however, I put in LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN, one of the DVDs I received for Christmas. Only got about 20 minutes of it watched, but I was a tiny bit disappointed with the transfer's Technicolor. The outside scenes and the scenes shot on interior stages didn't match at all. The outside scenes looked a little faded, dark, and frankly dated, but the interiors were rich and true to typical Technicolor photography.
Or, at least that was my first impressions with just the first part of the movie. I'll look forward to finishing it tomorrow.
-
What should it take for Mr Anthony Warlow to cut more cds?
He has his own label and records sporadically! I can't believe his recordings don't sell!
Should he be made aware that cds are not lps and can last over one hour now?
That FACE THE MUSIC cd is so frustrating!
Even his official site has NOT been updated in ages!
Gee, fans can have such a hard life!!

So, I didn't get to 30 ROCK or SUPERNATURAL tonight. I was really in more of a DVD/movie mood. I will get to them tomorrow, no doubt.
I didn't put it in my Media Check list this morning, but I also have TERMINATOR 2 on Blu-ray waiting in the wings.

Since I had just heard Kristin Chenoweth sing "Taylor, The Latte Boy", I stopped at Starbucks on the way to the subway and got a latte - well, a Green Tea Latte. So, I guess I have a bit of caffeine and sugar going through my system right now. Which is why I'm still up... Which is not necessarily a good thing since I'll be playing audition in a little over six hours.... YIKES!
But since I'm still up....

Do I really have to write the new notes?
-
Or can I just repost notes from three years ago. Would anyone notice?
-
And, more importantly, how could we not have acknowledged the one year anniversary of Deceit?
-
Yes, it was right about this time that we were getting creamed by ninety percent of the "reviewers" in LA. But, The Brain showed 'em.
-
And one for Deceit.
-
At long last ten.

DR MusicGuy - For the audiobook of "Kavalier & Clay", who was the reader?
*And, I've mentioned this before, but...
I was reading the book while I was in the midst of a run of 1776 at Ford's Theatre. I normally don't read during shows, but since there was that 30 minute book scene in the second half... Well... I had to do something...
I remember reading the last paragraph just as our "break" was ending... Needless to say, I had started crying, and it was a little hard to read the music at that time. A friend of mine had told me that the final of the book are truly beautiful. And he was right.
As for the movie - From what I've heard, it's still in "pre-production". So, hopefully, it will still get made. Stephen Daldry ("Billy Elliott") is still attached as the director, but since I keep seeing a couple more stage properties with his name attached to them.... Hmm... We shall see...
Frankly, I would like to see it done as a mini-series of sorts, or at least a mega-movie - some five or six hour deal. There's just so much good, rich material in the book. So much history, that I know I would be missing the "gaps" if things were - as they undoubtedly will - get edited out.
-
As for Kristin Chenoweth's concert... Again, it was a truly splendid affair. At least I thought so. -I heard a few grumbles afterwards about the second half. Yes, the second half was a bit more "artsy", but I appreciated. A lot of subtle, moving - and new - material.
In any case... Here's the program listing:
Act I - Things You Want
Overture - Which was preceded by Ms. Chenoweth coming out in full NY Mets fan-gear.. "Hey, Kristin - It "THE Met", not "The METS"... Ohh! ;)
"Gorgeous" (Bock & Harnick)
"Popular" (Stephen Schwartz) - Which was updated in a sense by setting it up as advice she had gotten from Renee Fleming on how to get through singing at The Met. -She sang the last refrain up an octave.
"Goin' to the Dance With You" (Richard Dworsky) - Assisted by David Elder and Sean Martin Hingston - Very cute, and a cutesy ending.
"Boy" (Jodi Marr) - I have to get a copy of this song for myself. First "cry moment" for me.
"If You Hadn't But You Did" (Styne, Comden & Green) - With an "assist" from Mr. Hingston
"Taylor, the Latte Boy" (Goldrich & Heisler)
"You're Easy To Dance With" (Berlin) - avec Mssrs. Elder and Hingston - This was more of a showcase for the men - singing and dancing - but, still, a great number.
"The Girl in 14G" (Tesori & Scanlan) - It was my first time hearing her sing this in person... WOW!
Act II - Things You Need
"Italian Street Song" (Victor Herbert, Rida Johnson Young)
Gilbert and Sullivan Medley (G&S) - She preceded this with an acknowledgment and recognition of her college voice teacher - who was in the audience. Very touching. And the G&S was wonderful too. "The Sun, whose rays are all ablaze." to "something I'm not too familiar with" to "Poor Wand'ring One"
"Love Somebody Now" (Andrew Lippa) - Great song.
"How Can I Lose You?" (Adam Guettel) - Amazing vocal colors throughout.
"Run Away" (Ricky Ian Gordon)
"Hard Times" (Stephen Foster) - In a very kicked-up arrangement
"Show Me The Way" (Dennis DeYoung)
She was also backed-up on a few numbers by the Juiliard Choral Union. Her MD and conductor and pianist for the evening was Andrew Lippa, and Kathleen Marshall was the stage director.
Oh! And the encores were:
"Glitter and Be Gay" (Bernstein)
"What Makes Me Love Him" (Bock & Harnick) - What a perfect closer to the evening. And, yes, it made me cry. However, it made her cry too.
Oh, and first act dress - a short red, sparkly number. Second act dress - A GORGEOUS navy blue strapless gown.
-
As for celebrity sightings....
Hugh Panaro greeted me with a big hug each time he walked by me. :)
Better Midler was a few seats in front of me. -Kristin had heard through the grapevine at the intermission that her idol - "THE Idol" - was in the house - and even sang the opening of "The Rose". -Which she said she had recorded at the mall when she was in high school. She paid $7.98. ;)
*And, on the way out, a woman behind me was crying a "bit". Ms. Midler happened to be exiting through her row and noticed her crying. "Are you OK? Are you sure?" -Yes, I'm OK. My husband is here with me. "Oh, that's good. This is my husband." -And, she looked great too!
Mssrs. Bock & Harnick.
There were a couple of other familiar faces to which I could not place names.
-
...And I have to give her major "props" for making even her "standard" material fresh and new. I liked the operatic touches in "Popular". Even "Taylor", which I've heard her sing countless times, had some new "business".
*And, yes, the concert did start late - I'd say about 15 minutes late... and the intermission was long too... But, hey, we all had a good time. -And I had to wonder if part of the delay in starting was due to the 1 trains being messed up. Apparently, there was some tracking problem around 7:00, so they had some trains skipping stops to get back on schedule. However, they also started running trains one right after the other for a bit. When I tried to board at 145th, one train sped right through the station, and about a minute later another one came by. Needless to say, the trains were packed. However, when we got to 96th, another 1 was at the express track across the platform. So... I know when I took my seat, there were still plenty of empty seats (that eventually got filled. -And even on my train, there were a bunch of people heading to Lincoln Center. So... But since the it was a relatively short concert - at least compared to the operas normally presented there - I guess they had some leeway timewise.

DR FJL - I'm sorry you couldn't make it tonight. There were a few coughers, so, you wouldn't not been alone. ;)
-
But, again, Thank You, for the ticket.
-
As for "Ugly Betty"...
From the look of the "eyes", I kept expecting Delta Burke to be under those bandages. -Which I think would have been fierce!
-
OH... Friday Media Check...
Hmm... Mainly just randomness on my iPod. -With a lot of repeated listenings to Julia Murney's album, "I'm Not Waiting".
-
DR Ginny - You should be able to find those Mozart confections somewhere closer to home. Heck, I've seen them at CVS. That company makes a few different varieties with Mozart on the wrapper. The hearts are very good, but there are also little bon-bons, as well as truffles (sort of like the Hershey's "bricks" - same shape, only much better). If you can track them down, they make an Armagnac variety which is quite good.
Here's the website for a company that carries all sort of Mozart goodies:
SWEET AUSTRIA (http://www.mozartkugel.us/)

*The Mozart balls with the pistachio filling are another one of my favorites.
-
OK... Well, my alarmS(!!!!) are set to go off in five hours... And since, apparently, we're booked solid from 9:00-5:00 with auditions (all appointments)...
Goodnight.
-
Hope the auditions go well, JS.
-
The notes from three years ago might be interesting to see. Use those. They would be before my time though. Aw, write new notes!
-
As for celebrity sightings....
Hugh Panaro greeted me with a big hug each time he walked by me. :)
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o ;D :D ;) :)
Hugh Panaro made me fall in love with phantom. I was not thrilled with the movie, which was my first experience of it, so I decided to take a chance and see it in NY on bradway. I sat in the 5th row and could see every detail and His voice melted me and I loved the production! I am soo jealous!
-
I would like some notes from 3 years ago!
-
Or how about just a story?
-
Happy Deciet Anniversary, and may there be another production of 100 in its future!

I do not think I will be making them all tonight

One never knows though

Almost 300 huh?
-
not yet though

Just dozed in and out of the film ANIMAL HOUSE. I watched it over Christmas as well, maybe the first time I had seen it uncut for TV. I'm no fan of the director, but this movie is quite well made in a lot of respects. Mainly carried along by a great, committed cast with wonderful rapport, some hilarious writing. I mean, the number of things from this movie that are have become staples of popular culture is quite astounding.
Tim Matheson, you wonder why a greater career did not unfold (UP THE CREEK, notwithstanding). John Vernon, the perfect Dean Wormer. Stephen Furst, great. Peter Riegert, etc. Of course, Belushi is magnetic even in some of the more idiotic moments.
It features some of its director's typical sloppy filmmaking mixed with some real attention to detail. Could have used more plot though. Donald Sutherland's character doesn't add up to much. But all told, a fun movie with more heart than films it inspired.
-
yay that was 300!
