I see you now, BK -- and speaking of which, I better get my tail on the 101 if I want to get over into the vicinity of Madilyn Clark Studios soon...
Every time I hear the term "the 101" (which is not the way we say it in Washington State ;)), I think of the song with the same name recorded by Lorraine Feather (http://www.lorrainefeather.com/) (who also recorded " Not While I'm Around" on BK's "Sweeney Todd In Jazz"). She wrote new lyrics to music by Duke Ellington and came up with a whole album (http://www.lorrainefeather.com/sst.html) of really great songs. If you click HERE (http://www.lorrainefeather.com/101_mov320x240.html)[/url], you can see the very imaginative music video of the song "The 101" (you will need to have Quicktime installed). I love this song and this album! She also has a CD of Fats Waller tunes with new lyrics written by her. :)

One of my damp but undamaged packages today was the LP of The Drowsy Chaperone. I can't find the serial #, perhaps some DR can give me a clew where to find it. But it does prominently say SECOND PRESSING on the back in the bottom left hand corner.
My LP copy of The Drowsy Chaperone has the limited edition number on the back in the bottom left hand corner. Maybe the "second pressing" copies aren't numbered and not limited. I wonder if there is anything else different from the original pressing. Anyway, here's a scan of the number from my copy:
-
I'm off to bed. Have a good evening, Tomovoz. :)
-
Thanks, DR George. That is exactly where my copy says "Second Pressing", so I'm thinking that this new batch of Drowsy LPs is not numbered.

bk, I love Susannah. Do you have the recording with Studer/Ramey/Hadley, or the older recording with Phyllis Curtin?

Friday morning greetings! I'm being quiet and letting DH Richard sleep as late as possible before we leave in a couple of hours for his shoulder surgery. He told me to tell you all how much he appreciates your vibes.
Media check - CD(car) - audiobook: Elizabeth Edwards' Saving Graces, narrated by Bernadette Dunne. On my way home yesterday I was listening to the chapter about the death of their teenage son and decided that one shouldn't listen to sad books while driving. I needed windshield wipers for my eyes :'(

First the downbeat comments.
It's too long (3 hours with 15 minute intermission), it ends abruptly and oddly and I think you need to be a fan of Kurt Weill (I am) to really like the show.
That being said, I think it's got some very good things going. Boy, Donna Murphy may have a reputation (due to missed performances in Wonderful Town) but when she's good, wow! I love her. She was great as Phyliss in Follies and she is great as Lotte Lenya. Michael Cerveris is wonderful as Kurt Weill. David Pittu makes Brecht a slimy, mean son-of-a-bitch but does an excellent job. For a left-leaning Marxist he was a real creep to the "lower classes" (at least in this portrayal).
The show is episodic and not necessarily chronological. Some of the music used in the first act, which takes place in Europe comes from shows he wrote in the late 30s and 40s when he was in New York and California. It still works for me. There are some lovely and tender moments between Murphy and Cerveris and both (with their slight German accents) sing beautifully.
I knew basics about both Weill and Lenya but I didn't know specifics (Larry, I'm sure you have much more knowledge about them). Even though they were "together" for many years, they had a very difficult relationship. I didn't know that.
I can see how many people will not like the show. A woman left after the first act (90 minutes) making her dislike known to all around her. She was there with friends. They had driven in from LI and she was getting an early train back. I think I was willing to go with it because I was so taken with the performances of Cerveris and Murphy. This was the first performance so things may be cut. I don't know how much work they plan on doing during previews but it certainly can be trimmed. As I mentioned, the end doesn't really work. I'm not sure how to make it work without adding more time to an already too long piece but something should be done to give the audience more of a feeling of completion.
This is getting long so I'm going to post before I lose it or it turns into a novella.
Later, gaters.
-
DR Ginny: Did you say that DH Richard's surgery would be outpatient?
***continued healing vibes!***
Yes, DR singdaw, there's an outpatient surgery center not far from our house. Thanks, again, for the vibes.
-
More vibes on this Friday the 13th to DH of DR GINNY - RICHARD.
Thanks, DR JRand. Richard reminds all of us that he turned 13 on a Friday the 13th, so he's not superstitious about the day.
-
I'm listening to Carly Simon right now. She's the substitute host for Elaine Paige on BBC Radio 2 this week.
I'm heading out to Long Island after work. We will be there until Sunday. Our return date to the city is predicted to be full of rain, cold and possible SNOW!!! Ugh.
We won't be watching or listening to much of anything this weekend. We will be busy with shopping and visiting. We will be picking up our copy of the final season of Slings and Arrows. Rose has recorded the shows for us and we will watch them in the city.
Speaking of Weill, right now I'm listening to the title song from Lost in the Stars.
-
And the word of the day is: ENTELECHY!
Casey would waltz
With a strawberry blonde,
Their steps becoming the ENTELECHY
Of the band's music.
-
Thanks, DR George. That is exactly where my copy says "Second Pressing", so I'm thinking that this new batch of Drowsy LPs is not numbered.
So, what you're basically saying is that this album is repressed.
Not a good thing, considering the show.
::)
-
Thanks very much for your report, DR Ben. LOVEMUSIK sounds ambitious and interesting, but I wouldn't expect anything less from Mr. Prince & Company. Glad you could see it.
I saw a Weill review called "Jam & Spice" at the Westport Country Playhouse last spring. The concept didn't really work, but oh, such wonderful material!

Hmm, I guess I don't know the specifics of Weill and Cerveris, but the age difference between the two of them would make M. Barnum swoon.
-
bk, will there be an accompanying CD to your new book?
-
I'm not really sure what I've been listening to or watching lately. It's a blur.
I'm more than half-way through Julia Child's My Life in France. Right now, she and husband Paul are in Oslo. But she's working on "the book" with Simca via correspondence and visits, so I guess living in France can be a philosophical thing.
-
Der Brucer has been reading the contract between the United Food and Commercial Workers Union and the store where I work. I couldn't make head nor tails out of it, but it's much more his kind of reading (when he isn't reading mystery novels, of course).
-
And it's just about time for me to get ready for work.
-
so I guess living in France can be a philosophical thing.
Only DR François knows for sure...and Teddy, bk's hairdresser, of course. :)

I think that actually Oslo is the farthest north of the cities in France, which makes my family French, instead of Norwegian! Thank goodness the woman could cook.

I am not illegally posting from work this morning (as some might assume), but I am home
sick crippled today. My back, which has been bothering me all week, finally decided to go out (without me). At the moment, I am sitting; which is the lesser of all the evils while I wait for the musclerelaxers to kick in, so that I can go back to bed.
-
Of course, once the musclerelaxers kick in, I will feel so good that I will probably sit here posting the day away.
-

DR Ben, I would remove the evidence as well (or weill) were it not for the fact that this is the second time in less than a week that I have used the word "swoon." That for me is some strange kind of record.
-
I will probably sit here posting the day away.
And we would be the richer for it! But you poor, dear man. So very sorry to hear of your pain.

For some reason (blame the medication) using the word "swoon" as put me in a mind to sing IT'S DELOVELY. I am not really sure why, although I suppose someone probably swoons during the course of ANYTHING GOES.

Thanks, Ginny. I know that I will probably have to endure a third back surgery eventually. My biggest fear is that by the time they finish working on my back, I will end up being shorter than Tomovoz. My hip replacements and back surgeries have already cost me three inches of height. When I was in college, I was 6' 1" tall; now I am barely 5' 10".
-
Good morning, all! I thought I was getting sick last night but I feel better today. I would like to go to the NYPL.
DR Ben, I want very much to see LOVEMUSIK. I was doing some work on ONE TOUCH OF VENUS for the Kurt Weill Foundation when Lys Symonette and Kim Kowalke were editing the Weill-Lenya letters for publication. If you're interested, Donald Spoto wrote a bio of Lenya. I'm still waiting for a good Weill bio.
Yep. Brecht was a pig, espousing communism in East Berlin and storing all of his wealth in Swiss banks. From all I've read, he was indeed a pig, taking credit for a lot of the work of his mistress/secretary Elizabeth Hauptmann on THREEPENNY OPERA (the original 1928 production; Brecht kept rewriting it) and HAPPY END. That said, I think CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE and MOTHER COURAGE are masterpieces.

Thank you, DR elmore.
DR TCB, in 2004, after I got back from Goodspeed in July, I had all that health problem with the nerves in my leg and the fissure that went on for about a year. I'm sure that DR Ben and Anthony, who lived through a lot of it with me, remember it more, but there was a period when I couldn't stand on my own feet and I was on crutches. On the night it all began, after the emergency crew took me to St Lukes-Roosevelt hospital because of the pain and my inability to walk, the emergency room staff gave me a muscle relaxant: I could have performed ballet afterwards. Enjoy the drugs. I sure did!

I agree. It's one of those cases where a jackass lurks beneath great talent.
Speaking of Happy End, Theatre 1010 here in NY will be mounting a production of the show this spring using the Feingold adaptation. We did that translation at the University of Minnesota in 1977.

Tax Question? ???
Does our IRS return have to be postmarked by Sunday at midnight, or do we get an extra day becuase it is Sunday?
-
Boy, is it early. Well, I must now drive to the car place, after which I shall return.
singdaw, there isn't that much music referenced in the new book, and the music that IS referenced wouldn't be that interesting to record, but you never know.

Well, I have a set of auditions from 11:00-1:00 today, and then it's back up to Westport for tonight's final preview. The show is coming together nicely, and I'm always amazed at how actors can process and incorporate all the fixes and edits that happen to a show during this time period. Bravo! -Meanwhile, the musicians down in the pit get to have their music in front of them.

Good morning, fellow Dear Readers. I did not sleep well, so today will be a long day. According to the news the winds are down; I have a lovely view of a wall outside my window so I can't tell.
TOD: I bought a couple of bargain CDs yesterday to listen to on the drive: Best of Eydie, Leroy Anderson hits, and bagpipe music. Don't tell DR Sandra, but I got a CD of Lawrence Welk music for her upcoming birthday. (Her big gift was a trip to Las Vegas last month and a ticket to Blue Men Group.)

In fact, I have come and gone, or is it gone and come. I was first in line for car servicing (the only one who'd made an appointment, too) - they say the car could be ready by noon, but I seriously doubt it. I have rehearsal from noon to three, so I just hope it's ready by three, since rehearsal is in Van Nuys very close to the dealership.

And speaking of MEDIC, have any DRs here ever seen this 1950s tv series (stars Richard Boone)? It is quite fascinating and very realistic. It is the only tv show from the 50s that I have ever seen that allowed the characters to use the words like "breast" or "sperm." Some very grim and adult subject manner in the episodes I have seen.
Quite a good show and it can be found very inexpensively at bargain stores or on Netflix.

Hi dear DR Mike.....I was hooked on the show "Medic" when I was young, and I instantly learned how to play the theme song "Blue Star" and played it alot.....I thought I was being very "symphonic." But it is still a pretty good early TV theme.

'Morning all!
Just thought I'd stop by and say hello before I start trying to get some things accomplished for the day.
Oh! And if you guys can spare them -- I have two, count 'em two, auditions this weekend, so if you could spare some good audition vibes, they'd be much appreciated! Tomorrow, there is an open call for "future replacements" for the cast of Spring Awakening, currently running in the Big Apple...and then on Sunday, there is an audition for a production of Cabaret out here (auditions on Holocaust Remembrance Day, no less...). So, any vibes you've got, I'll take 'em!

I actually really enjoyed the UGLY BETTY clips show. It wasn't so much that you needed help to follow the season. It was just interesting to see some of the funny things that happened. And i really enjoyed the commentary.

Nurse Ginny, here. DH Richard's shoulder surgery went fine and we've been home about an hour. He's groggy and hungry and feeling no pain, thanks to an interscaline nerve block. We've already scheduled the first physical therapy appointment for next Thursday and the follow-up with the surgeon for the next Thursday.
Thanks to DRs DearReaderLaura, MattH, MBarnum, Miss Karen, Jennifer, and Edisaurus for the vibes that came in while we were away.

Heard from the car place - naturally, it's never just the major servicing (which is hugely expensive) - now, in addition to that I need front and rear brake pads (I thought it would be one or the other, not both). In addition, the little oil leak would cost me 1500 to fix, so I said forget it. My local gas station looked at the leak a few months ago and quoted me a price of 300 bucks, so I'll see if they can do it. Also, there is some noise that happens occasionally when I'm turning. He said what's causing it (can't remember now) but that would also be a major expense along the lines of the oil leak fix. I'll find out exactly what they're talking about and then I'll price it out at my local station. With a car that's nine years old, when you start having to put that much dough in, then it's time to get a new car. I'm not going to spend $3000 on fixing stuff - that's just sickening.
-
And where is said surgeon's picture?? ;)
right!
-
Needless to say, car won't be ready at lunchtime - I suspect after three, which is fine. I worry, of course, that they've made the problems worse now that they've told me what they are.
-
ESPECIALLY Grandpa Gelfinbaum.
LOL.

sorry to hear about your car, BK. I recently priced getting a newer Volvo. It would cost me my 2001 plus $10K to get a used, but newer car. I'm keeping mine instead. but mine runs fine and I don't drive as much as you do.

We won't be watching or listening to much of anything this weekend. We will be busy with shopping and visiting. We will be picking up our copy of the final season of Slings and Arrows. Rose has recorded the shows for us and we will watch them in the city.

I began my viewing this afternoon finishing up the GREY'S ANATOMY clip show. Amazing that seeing just brief moments from the show could still elicit tears as if I were watching the entire episodes these moments came from. Grand.

Yes, I recorded the UGLY BETTY clip show, too, and I did enjoy it. I enjoyed even more seeing the writers and producers commenting on their characters and their philosphy behind writing the characters the way they had done it. Different from the usual clip show and VERY informative and entertaining.

When I finished, the Stanley Donen/Private Screenings interview was playing on TCM. I had this saved on the DVR for months, but when I read that it was going to be included on the upcoming DVD of ROYAL WEDDING, I deleted it. Still, I watched about half of it again this afternoon and liked seeing it again.

Good Afternoon!
-Sorry, some rehearsal got in my way... ;)
But I'm back now.

The completed the afternoon with CLICK! It's an Adam Sandler comedy, so right off the bat it's got an uphill battle to win me over. This had some clever ideas and a couple of funny scenes, but then it goes all sentimental and allegorical and I lost interest. I finished it, but it's certainly not something I'd want to see ever again, so it got deleted from the DVR.

As for All About Us... I really am excited about playing the run of the show, but I'm really[/b] excited that I get to sleep in tomorrow morning! I really could use a full night's sleep. Eight, nine... possibly ten hours would be really helpful right now.
*Alas, there is that one pesky, dreaded 10:30AM matinee on Tuesday, April 24, but I may splurge on a hotel room the night before in lieu of having to get up in time to grab the 8:00 train from Grand Central. -Plus, we get a nice staff rate at the Westport Inn. In any case...

DR JoseSPiano: If you are in the pit "observing", who is sitting at Mr. Kander's right hand tonight, taking notes?
I am giddy that you got such a great opportunity!
-
DR MBarnum should be developing tendonitis as we speak. Are there any physique studies in the doctor's web bio?
Don't know about the docs, but there are in mine!
-
DR TCB - Are you in your right mind from the drugs? ;)
Seriously, hope you are not in too much pain.
I figure by the time Mr. Barnum got the doctor to my house, he would too worn out to fight back!

Poor Dr. Ch*****n... :(
Some well-meaning patient is going to be googling him, and they'll find all of these salacious posts!

I am not illegally posting from work this morning (as some might assume), but I am home sick crippled today. My back, which has been bothering me all week, finally decided to go out (without me). At the moment, I am sitting; which is the lesser of all the evils while I wait for the musclerelaxers to kick in, so that I can go back to bed.

In my CD player: I just listened to the two-person show, If Love Were All and now have just started another two-person show, I Do! I Do!! Both of these are from BK's CD sale!! After I Do! I Do! (a two-person show with repeated words in the title) will be Little By Little (a three-person show with repeated words in the title).

You could get rid of that "dirty blond" image!

Somehow I think it would take a bit more than that. :)

And, DER B, are you going to give us the story of the Hooker Emerald? Surely, there must be a story there!
I picked up the photo from Giant Tiffany Diamond Goes on Public Display (http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/giant-tiffany-diamond-goes-on-public/20070411121909990002) story on AOL News
THINK QUEST (http://library.thinkquest.org/J0112321/h_emerald.htm) reports:
The Jane Hooker Emerald
The Hooker Emerald weighs about 75 carats, including the 138 diamonds weighing, altogether, about 13 carats. Abdul-Hamid II, one of the last sultans of the Ottoman Empire (which is now Turkey), once owned the Hooker Emerald. It is said that he wore it on his belt buckle. New York's Tiffany & Co. purchased the gem at auction in 1911 and then set it in a tiara. Later, Tiffany's reset the emerald in this brooch. This emerald is unusual for its exceptional size and color and its relative lack of flaws and imperfections is rare for such a large emerald.

This is usually attributed to Mae West, though I can't find a reference to which film. I believe the original was something like "They used to call me Snow White, but then I drifted..." :)
I seems the West quote is from other than a film.

Actress Tallulah Bankhead, however, is supposed to have said "I'm as pure as the driven slush."

Oh, the JANE Hooker emerald! I, naturally, thought...
BTW, there was a Nancy --was it Hoover?-- emerald that played a role in San Diego's history about twenty years ago. Anyone remember that story?

My Netflix movie for the weekend was supposed to be here on Wednesday, but it is now expected to arrive on Saturday. Apparently, the Bollywood film GUMNAAM is so popular, that they have to ship a copy from Santa Ana, California.
Hello! Did they bother to look in Oregon?

jhvw, nice to see you online again!

I just saw that actor Barry Nelson passed away while travelling in Pennsylvania on Saturday :-\
I have been trying to get him to do an interview, but never had any luck in getting a response to my inquiries. Still, he was a wonderful actor and, I believe, the first to play James Bond.

The CBS lineup is repeats tonight for those of you who were planning on watching.
NBC has new episodes of IDENTITY and RAINES but a rerun of LAW & ORDER.
ABC is reruns until 20/20. If you missed GREY'S ANATOMY clip show last night, it is repeated tonight at 8.

Miss Joan Ryan had asked me to accompany her to some nightclub thing, but I haven't heard a peep about it for four days. I hope she doesn't think she can call me two hours prior and say it's on. I don't really want to go anyway.

'Morning all!
Just thought I'd stop by and say hello before I start trying to get some things accomplished for the day.
Oh! And if you guys can spare them -- I have two, count 'em two, auditions this weekend, so if you could spare some good audition vibes, they'd be much appreciated! Tomorrow, there is an open call for "future replacements" for the cast of Spring Awakening, currently running in the Big Apple...and then on Sunday, there is an audition for a production of Cabaret out here (auditions on Holocaust Remembrance Day, no less...). So, any vibes you've got, I'll take 'em!

Last night we recieved an e-mail from our music teacher saying what our reading was for the week and that we had a test next week. I thought it was odd that we would recieve such an e-mail. this morning I decided that rather than go out in the cold I would wait until 10 minutes before class to call a classmate, then arrive late.
Boy was that a good idea, because class was CANCELLED....again, for no apperent reason and without obvious notice. The aformentioned e-mail did not state that class was not to be held.

“One From the Heart” raises money to buy gifts and books for over 44,000 abused and neglected children who are receiving services, such as foster care, along with the 200,000 children that receive emergency services through the Department of Children and Family Services of Los Angeles County, the largest government agency in the world that provides child protective services.
This event is a grassroots effort by the social workers who on a daily basis confront situations where children need to be removed from dangerous family conditions. These social workers and their supporting staff want to help meet the emotional, social and intellectual needs of children in crisis, over and above what the County can provide. While the County can meet the basic needs of many of the children, it cannot provide many of the things that enhance self-esteem and help prepare these children to lead productive adult lives. Certain kinds of gifts, called “comfort toys”, can help reduce a child’s immediate anxiety. Besides comfort toys, the “One From the Heart” event helps purchase books and other gifts, designed to increase the level of literacy and opportunity for these deserving, yet underserved children. Many of these gifts are given to children during the winter holiday season.

That's right up your alley, TCB, no?!

I began my evening with DEJA VU, a sci-fi love story/thriller starring Denzel Washington. One must really suspend his disbelief for this, and I'm always game if the story is interesting enough. I found it intriguing enough for most of the running time, but then I felt it kind of fell apart for me at the end, very much like THE LAKE HOUSE fell apart with its ending.
Involving sound on the transfer; visuals were above average but not always as solid as I would have liked. I'll bet the Blu-ray would look great on this. I had the standard definition version.
-
Also started watching the main special feature on the disc - a combination running commentary and featurette section with seamless branching from the main feature. First time I've seen anything like this (I know the Infinfilms like THIRTEEN DAYS did something similar), and it's cool.
-
Watched tonight's RAINES in the 10 p.m. hour. Good episode with the investigation of a judge's wife's murder. Didn't have the murderer pegged at all, and the information we got about the wife in bits and pieces was really surprising.
-
TOmorrow, I'll finish the special features on the DEJA VU DVD (there are some deleted and extended scenes). Then, I'll watch (and burn a DVD) TEXAS CARNIVAL.

I took a well-earned day off today. And I vegged most the day away.
I did spend a couple of hours with the WB DVD of "The Bad and the Beautiful" -- loved every bit of it...both movie and features, especially the TCM feature on Lana Turner with daugher Cheryl Crane.

I'm sorry for all who are in pain.

Last night the Vixter, my brother and I attended an Art Garfunkel concert!
I was suprised to see Mr. Garfunkel was not as tall as I had assumed all these years....he seemed to be barely 5'6"... but he was in good voice
we had very good seats. 8th row and we very much enjoyed the show
The Vixter insisted she had never heard of "this guy" before and then he started singing some old S & G tunes.... "HEY! I know this music!"

And for DRs who missed my snarkiness today...especially DR singdaw and Miss Karen --- well, even snarkers need a day off.

Good Evening!
Thanks for all the "Congrats" on the new-but-not-really-new gig. I'll be heading up to Westport a bit early tomorrow to cram the keyboard book into my fingers and brain. I did a fast read-thru of it before tonight's show, and it's actually pretty easy. However, some of the patch/programming changes are quite fast, so that's what I'll have to get used to.
Mr. Kander had some friends in tonight, so I'm guessing one of them took notes for him tonight. ;) Seriously, if there's something that he wants to remember, he'll remember it - if that makes sense.
Tomorrow night is Opening Night, but our press night is not until next Thursday. -Which sort of takes some of the pressure of me, since I'll have a few performances under my belt - and fingers - before the reviewers come.
-

-
...And I have to say, that although I'm very flattered and honored to have been asked to take over the keyboard book, I was actually sort of looking to having a couple of days off in a row next week. However, at least I can keep some of my usual and preferred nightowl hours - sleep late, wake up late. :)
-And the extra paychecks aren't a bad tradeoff either.

The only fly in the ointment was the estatic fan sitting directly behind me.. she was singing along to EVERYTHING!!!! Not just under her breath singing along I mean singing so Artie could enjoy her musical talents.... which were sadly lacking
I tried the "turn around and glare " move a couple of times as did my brother, and the 2 women sitting next to him. At one point she sang so loudlu and raucously all 4 of us as well as three people in front of me turned around to glare at her
she was completely oblivious her husband didn;t notice her singing over his running commentary of the show... finally the woman next to my brother turned around and tapped her on the knee and said' Ma'm we really paid to see Mr. Garfunkle's SOLO act"
The annoying woman turned to her husband and said "Can you beleive that woman?!"
At that point I turned around and said "What I can't believe is YOUR continued rudeness in ruining the show for everyone around you!"
Commentary man said "What did she say?!"
"OH! Apparently I"M rude because I'm enjoying the show!!"
At which time my brother turned around and said
"WE would also like to enjoy the show but we can't hear it!"
and she finally shut up
-
DR singdaw - I'm planning on getting up to Westport around 3:00, and then taking a nice break before the show. Dinner? -I'll bring cookies! ;D

His IMDB bio says Six feet.

That's what I had always thought, but it sure didn't look like it, unless all the guys in his band were 6'5". We were only about 10 feet away from him, but I suppose the angle of the seating may have thrown my perspective off.
He was also wearing boots with 3 inch heels.

DR vixmom - ;D
My favorite "comeback" in situations like that is to turn to the person, and ask them, "Excuse, what's your name?... Oh, well, I don't see your name printed on my ticket. I didn't pay to hear you."

My brother said that at other shows when he's run into these knuckleheads he's used
"Excuse me can I please have my $(fill in ticket price) back? I thought I was going to hear _____________________ not rude audience member"

A long day. I drove into Santa Ana, and we began our meeting at 1 p.m., and continued until 8 p.m. and still didn't finish everything on the agenda.
Tomorrow we start at 8 a.m. and continue until 8 p.m.
-
Oh, and I am hungry.
-
I am in a nice motel in Costa Mesa. I drove by the "other hotel" and I'm glad they canceled the reservations there.

Movie is done.

Skip just assembled a cassoulet for tomorrow's dinner, and hence is up at this ungodly hour.
I, on the other hand, am fast asleep. :)
-
Can we get to page 16? Only MattH has the answer. :)
-
But since we're almost there...
-
Anyone know any cassoulet jokes?
-
Perhaps involving the Mamas and the Papas
-
Denny: Mama Cass and I had a French dinner
Michelle: Cassoulet?
Denny: No, we're just friends.
-
And one for Mama
-
Cassoulet - was that Romeo or Juliet's family name?
-

See the USA. in your Cassoulet...

Sad to be all alone in the world.

I do believe that in addition to Ye Olde Allergy Attack we've had us an Attack Of The Wussburgers.
-
What am I, doing a monologue?
-
I've taken Claritan, I've taken Actifed, but I think they took the key ingredient out of Actifed, because those scummy cretins were using it for drugs. I really loathe people sometimes.
-
So, nothing is really helping right now.
-
I love when nothing is really helping right now because right now needs all the help it can get.
-
Will we never get to page seventeen?
-
I guess that would depend on whether I can make twenty-five posts in four minutes.
-
On your mark, get set, go!
-
My nose is leaky right now.
-
And I HATE that.
-
Three minutes left.
-
I just don't know if I can do it, what with having to blow my nose every two minutes.
-
But I'm giving it Ye Olde College Trye.
-
It's almost going to be a whole page of ME.
-
I'm on a roll, baby.
-
An onion roll.
-
Two minutes.
-
I just don't know - my nose is leaking.
-
This whole page is very blonde.
-
I'm sneezing now.
-
One minute.
-
About six posts to go.
-
About five posts to go.
-
Maybe this is four posts to go.
-
Thirty seconds.
-
Twenty seconds.
-
Ten seconds.
-
Done. Fool around with ME, sister.
