Well, you've read the notes, the notes drew the line, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're drawing a lopsided square right now.
-
And the word of the day is: AURICLE!
-
The most recent films I can think of in the "What were they thinking?" category were "Dreamgirls", "Madagascar"and "Ice Age 2". "Evita" and "Man Of La Mancha" fit the bill too.
-
Did I hear you say "Auricle"? DP had part of his right auricle removed last year - he hoped to increase the value of his art work.
-
The oracle was missing an auricle.

Good morning DR Singdaw - usually it's only Dear Reader Laura here at this time of the night! I think DR George has gone to sleep in front of his PC. Shsh.

Good day, DR Tomovoz!
I'm always up at this hour, but just not usually logged in at HHW, or I'd NEVER get my day started! Usually walking the dog, etc.
-
I think DR George has gone to sleep in front of his PC. Shsh.
That boy keeps some weird hours. I could just never do it. :)
-
And I try never to post until I'm all caught up with all notes & postings, for fear of committing some great gaffe....
-
Gaffe...
Is that a French word, I wonder?
Where is DR François when you need him?
-
Yes, I see now that it comes from Old French.
So DR François should know it very well. :o
;D
-
Sorry, DR François.
Just couldn't resist.
You know I love ya!
-
And speaking of walking the dog...
Zach is waiting patiently for his little morning constitutional.
Sorry to desert you, DR Tomovoz...
Wish I could dessert you, instead. Or de-cert you [remove your certs].
But no, desert you I must - for the moment.
Be well!
Later!

TOD: Well, I didn't see it personally, but from all accounts, Carrie: The Musical was one of those classic "what were they THINKING?" moments.
-
DR JoseSPiano:
Silly! As if you'd have to bribe me with cookies to spend time with your sweet and adorable self! Not sure yet of my schedule for today, exactly. But would love to make this happen if I can. Let me know what time you were thinking of, and I'll see if it can be arranged. :) After you get up from your long and deserved sleep.
-
Good morning, fellow Dear Readers. It's time to get going. I have a long day of sitting ahead!
-
Good morning, all! I had a very restless night; I cannot shake whatever stomach ailment is attacking me, and it's not fun.
Today I need to visit Toyland for a bit, so I'll be heading downtown in a few minutes. My dear friend Alice is in hospital with diverticulitis, and I need to give her a call as well.

Saturday morning greetings! It's cold and rainy here today. DH Richard slept fitfully last night in the recliner. He's complaining this morning about pain - not in his shoulder, but in his throat from the intubation.
Sorry I missed DR Vixmom last night to thank her for the vibes.
-
Performance vibes to BK and Merissa
-
What a day!
What a day!
For a cafe au lait!
What a lovelly, lovely sight!
-
Good morning!
Partly cloudy here with more clouds than blue sky but should still be a pleasant day. They're forecasting rain tonight and all day tomorrow, so that doesn't make me happy. Guess I'll enjoy the sunshine while we have it.
-
I'm up.
I'm not happy about it, but Ms Erin will soon be expecting me for my every-third-Saturday haircut appointment.

What were they thinking film for me:
MYRA BRECKINRIDGE. There are some books that just can't be translated into films, and this one is a primo example. It's still fascinating to watch, as big a mess as it is, but a bad mistake nevertheless.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... I slept well, and I got a full eight hours, but I'm a bit tempted to head back to bed and get a few more winks. We shall see.
However, it's quite bright and sunny outside right now, and I'm tempted to head out for a nice walk before heading to the train later this afternoon. Again, we shall see.
-
I've never liked BUGSY MALONE. I never warmed to the premise, and I thought the score was an uninteresting bore.
-
TOD:
"L'Estat" -- !
-
And the word of the day is: AURICLE!
One of the films I've heard a lot about and want to see this summer is Auricle Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
-
On my next trip to Greece, I hope to visit the site of the Auricle of Delphi!
-
Well, I still have the deleted and extended scenes from DEJA VU to watch today. I've also got ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS waiting to be viewed.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this three strip Technicolor film got a good transfer. Warners has been so erratic with their transfers of three strip Technicolor movies. THE THREE MUSKETEERS was a bit of a letdown, but THE ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN couldn't have been more vibrant.
Here's hoping!
-
Auricle, the Herald, Angels Sing!
-
TOD:
"L'Estat" -- !
;D
However, the true scary part is that because I was in the rehearsals, I knew what they were thinking. :o
-
Tonight, I will record the last two episodes of ANDY BARKER, P.I. I stayed with the show this long, I might as well see everything they filmed with the character.
Also on HBO-HD tonight is the paycable premiere of UNITED 93. I couldn't summon the emotional strength to see this in theaters as much as I wanted to, so I'm looking forward to at least trying it tonight. If I get too overwhelmed, I can turn it off.
-
Does anyone here own an Auricle vaccuum cleaner? Do they really work as well as they're advertised to work?
-
One of my favorite characters on network TV in the past decade was on "Family Matters' -- meet Steve Auricle:
-
TOD -
Casino Royale, the 1967 version with Niven, Allen, Sellers, Andress, Kerr, Welles, a number of others. What a total botch of a film! And yet, there's something about it that makes it a wonderful botch. The Bacharach score doesn't hurt, of course.
-
DR Jose: Commiserations!
;)
-
Hmm...
So...
I'm trying to figure out if my runny nose is being caused by a slight cold, allergies or even possibly a sinus infection. However, I do think part of my ailment is caused by all the theatre dust, and also the fact that it turns out the exhaust for the Dressing Room Restaurant happens to be situated a few feet from the air intake for the theatre's air conditioning system. The smell of BBQ and smoked meat wasn't too bad when I first stepped in there two weeks ago, but after two weeks... :-\
-
Jose - opening vibes to you as well
-
Just a quick early-morning "hallooooo" to the dear lovelies and studlies here this morning. I have to be out for most of the day today, then back in for a bit in the late afternoon, and then a friend is playing his doctoral recital this evening and I'm going to support him.
-
I shouldn't stay here too long - it's my one day off this week, and there's lots to be done (hair shearing, shopping).
And my direct boss, Dixie, yesterday admitted that giving me two days off next week gives her some "wiggle room" in case someone calls out. Which happens a lot lately. At least she knows that she can rely on me to come in on short notice, or stay late if need be (yesterday was one of those "add two hours" days).
-
Congratulations dear Jose on picking up the "extended work." Did you get my text message I sent you yesterday?.... Did I scare you or something? :)
-
I don't know about conditions in other cities, but I have to let you know that the allergen situation in Oakland ia terrible this year.
Tree, grass and mold allergens are running rampant, I tell you...RAMPANT.
I'm constantly dry-mouthed...from allergy pills to mouth-breathing, it's a lose-lose proposition until things change. We need RAIN to get some of this crap out of the air and down the gutters.
-
Oh...
I just realized I may have to go shopping for some "pit blacks". Since my past couple of gigs over the past two years or so have taken place in covered pits - or even in separate rooms - I haven't had to wear pit blacks in a while. Hmm...
-
Right now, the weather here is crisp and clear.
Storms are predicted, however. I just don't know when they'll arrive.
Yesterday, one of my customers told of her husband's plans to run in the Boston Marathon - for which the prediction is 20 mph headwinds, rain, and temps in the mid thirties. She intends to stay in their nice, warm motel room.
-
Congratulations dear Jose on picking up the "extended work." Did you get my text message I sent you yesterday?.... Did I scare you or something? :)
Thank you.
And, No, you did not scare me. My phone seems to freeze up now whenever I try to send a text message longer than 10-15 letters. Very unseemly. However, I'll PM you now.
-
Hmm...
So...
I'm trying to figure out if my runny nose is being caused by a slight cold, allergies or even possibly a sinus infection. However, I do think part of my ailment is caused by all the theatre dust...
Think "music manuscript mites", DR Jose.

The smell of BBQ and smoked meat wasn't too bad when I first stepped in there two weeks ago, but after two weeks... :-\
Hmmmm.....do you have stray dogs, cats and the occasional rat trailing you as you walk down the street?
-

Actually, my last batch of pit blacks are too big for me, so... Levain or no Levain.
:)
-
Jose - opening vibes to you as well
Thanks, DR FJL. Although, tomorrow will be my opening day, my first show at the keyboard, so...
-Although, I think I may just watch the show tonight from the audience, instead of from the pit. Especially since it will be my last chance to see from the audience.
-
TOD - a couple (just a couple?) of local community theatre productions - Oklahoma! and Auntie Mame. The best part about the latter was being in the cast (not in the part I really wanted...) with DR Elmore.
-
DR Jose - how I wish I could see All About Us! How does this 2-week commitment affect the other possibilities you'd mentioned?
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
Films: "The Brown Bunny"
Shows: Hot Feet, Lestat - especially in San Francisco, but even moreso at the first day of rehearsal in New York at the table read. :-X
-
Guess I'll head downstairs now to tidy up a few things before starting on lunch preparation.
WBBL.
-
DR Jose - how I wish I could see All About Us! How does this 2-week commitment affect the other possibilities you'd mentioned?
Actually, the run of the show - even if it extends for a week - fits in perfectly with the other potential gigs. And as I think I mentioned before, after this weekend, I basically had nothing lined up - even my day work (auditions, etc.) dropped off. The associate who books me at the casting agency was also surprised that after weeks of playing for them at least three to four times a week, that I'm not booked for anything right now. Funny how things work out like that sometimes.
-
Well, I need to get a few things in order here before heading up to Westport this afternoon, so...
-
Oh.... I forgot....
Laters...
-
Time to head outwards...

I'm up, I'm up - my allergies have caused me to be puffy and groggy, not necessarily in that order, and I'm not sure these newfangled Actifed's are even working without their key ingredient.

bk, my DH has that same problem, so he started buying the eliminated ingredient, pseudoephedrine, separately. You have to go to a pharmacy and tell them that your usual meds aren't working for you and if you don't look like a meth dealier, they will let you sign for it.

Well, I think I have everything set for tonight. I brought a suit jacket along with me to put over my pit blacks for the post-show reception/party. Alas, since everyone has to get loaded back onto the vans back to the city, the party will not really have a chance to turn into a "par-tay". -But I think we're planning something back in NYC for tomorrow night. :)
I shall be bringing my camera with me, and I shall do my best to snap a couple of pics throughout the evening. And since I shall be supping with DR singdaw, I shall do my best to snap a pic of him too. ;)
-
bk - You car situation sounds a lot like mine. When I had to have a good chunk of work done on it a few years back, I realized that that was the first time any major work had been done to the car. -And spread over ten years, that ain't so bad. *And since I tend to be a "hard driver", brake pads were - and are - routine maintenance for me.
In any case, maybe you should wander over to a dealership, and see if anything catches your eye. -And your bank account. ;)

AFter the hellacious week I have had with meetings, etc.... I took a "me" day yesterday and went to my favorite bookstore and browsed and relaxed. It was nice and I really needed that down time. I did buy two books: Complete Works of Shakespeare and one on Celtic Art. I now have two additional Shakespearean plays I did nto have before. However, I still have not found Merry Wives of Windsor.
-
OH! Back to the Topic of the Day for sec...
Movies: "Blue Velvet"

Reducing the size of one of my drawings.... so I can post it... Is there a size limit for the board?

If it's too big, you usually won't be "allowed" to post it. Also, be sure to keep track of the pixel size - especially the width - in order avoid the "widescreen" syndrome.
-
DR Dakota Celt - Hmm... So, if you bought a Complete Works of Shakespeare... And you still don't have Merry Wives... Guess it wasn't complete. :-\
*Is the book divided according to Tragedies and Comedies? Wive is most definitely a comedy.

Well, the postman brought a long-awaited package. A good friend in Atlanta, since I am computer illiterate, took my CDs of the BBC Radio-3 broadcast of my restoration of Cole Porter's JUBILEE and broke them down into individual tracks. The BBC had sent the Cole Porter Trust 3 CD's, each one track lasting over 50 minutes. Now I can use this score for some bigtime self-promotion along with "The Brain!"

We're STILL on page four?

I slept only fitfully thanks to allergies.

I may try not to eat until dinner - that's pretty early at six-thirty.

Saturday morning greetings! It's cold and rainy here today. DH Richard slept fitfully last night in the recliner. He's complaining this morning about pain - not in his shoulder, but in his throat from the intubation.

I was just sent a review of Deceit from some Internet review site. I think it's the best review the show has gotten, not because it's good, which it is, but because he so clearly "got" the point of what the show's author was doing. And I completely agree with just about everything he says:
DECEIT is a stage to video adaptation of a comedy-mystery
written and directed by Bruce Kimmel who cineastes may recall as
the writer-director of the cult film THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL
(1976) and for contributing to the story of the 1998 horror comedy
THE FACULTY. Theater enthusiasts will know him for his terrific
series of recordings called "Unsung Musicals" (recordings of songs
from Broadway musicals that have been overlooked or never
commercially recorded) and "Lost in Boston" (songs cut from
musicals on the road). It's a pretty open secret that Kimmel also
appears on the recordings under the alter ego of Guy Haines.
While the aforementioned CDs aren't available on his current
website Kritzerland it does have the catalog of available recordings
and DVDs for purchase. And that brings us to DECEIT, which
was filmed over two performances of the play at the El Portal Forum
Theatre in North Hollywood.
The play is an old-fashioned throwback to the sort of show
that was popular on Broadway before it became a commercialized
wasteland. This is not a slam at the writing -- I mean it in a good
way. Kimmel knows his antecedents and he utilizes some of the
clichés of the genre as well as subverting them. The action unfolds
on one set, the Upper West Side home of the late Jeffrey Hartman.
Oh yeah, it's also a dark and stormy night. Jeffrey's younger widow
Kate (Tammy Minoff) is awaiting a visit from one of her husband's
oldest friends, Michael (Matthew Ashford, whom viewers of daytime
television will know as Jack Devereux of Days of Our Lives,
although I recall him in his previous incarnation as Cagney McCleary
on Search for Tomorrow).
Michael arrives and he and Kate exchange banter and it soon
becomes clear to the audience that there's more going on than meets
the eye. The action leads up to an event that is trumped by a twist
that viewers and audience members may have expected, but it does
provide some surprise. To reveal any more of the plot and its various
permutations would spoil it for anyone interested in watching.
Ashford does a terrific job of anchoring the play and negotiating
the various shifts in his character. In fact, he does most of the heavy
lifting in the show. Tammy Minoff looks great in the part but she is
not as accomplished a dramatic actress as called for by the role. She's
adequate but no more. Occasionally there are flashes when she rises
to the challenge, but most of the time, she seems to be struggling.
Kimmel appears as the deceased in a videotape. As he explains on
the commentary, he stepped into the role after the actor originally
cast appeared to be having trouble.
The stage effects work well and are captured on video without
losing anything but without giving away the details either. Since this
was a filmed stage performance, the possibility of things not going
correctly was always there. (In fact, there were a few glitches, but
one would only know of them if they listened to the commentary.)
Kimmel clearly knows and respects the genre and his plot
more or less passes scrutiny. Except for the mentions of video
and CDs, the production easily could have unfolded in the
Golden Age of Broadway when the well-made thriller passed muster.
(I'm thinking of shows like SORRY, WRONG NUMBER.) Yet, the
writer also manages to keep the audience on edge with various
surprises, not unlike, say Ira Levin's long-running DEATHTRAP.
The stage to video transfer is very accomplished so kudos
to Kimmel who directed. Matt Scarpino's set design is functional and
Mark Merthe's editing creates tension for the home viewer.
This is a nice, pleasant production that in earlier years might
have found an outlet on public television's Theater in America
and later American Playhouse (like those filmed plays available
under the banner of the Broadway Theatre Archive).
All in all DECEIT is an enjoyable viewing experience,
especially for fans of Matthew Ashford.

Smart person... STill a wonderful play and I have viewed it several times since I got it last year bk.
-
I would love to see Deceit get distributed on public telly as a theatre treat. It truly is.

But once again, Anthony Cooper gets short shrift... ;)

Really, I don't think DH Richard is in any shape to be intubating!

DH Richard is also discovering how extremely boring it is to be sick.

it is no picnic!

Get well vibes for DH Richard!

TOD:
Well, I have seen many unusual and strange movies in my life...but one of the strangest has to be a Mexican film I picked up on DVD last year...titled LA EDAD DE LA VIOLENCIA (THE AGE OF VIOLENCE)...It is from 1964 and seems to be trying to be a Bollywood movie! The only problem is that India knows how to do that sort of thing, blending musical numbers into the plot of any genre of film, but this Mexican film...very stark, very realistic, very violent, very dramatic...the cast just suddenly and without warning will break into song and dance numbers that just don't fit the feeling of the film.
I only got through about 3/4 of the film and have never returned to it. I have often thought of sending the DVD to DR JRand56...but he has always been so nice to me that I decided against it.
-
TOD: Movies: CRY ONION, THE APPLE, MANOS, HANDS OF FATE
Musicals: The recent Bob Dylan musical and most of the others based on pop song.

It's a pretty open secret that Kimmel also
appears on the recordings under the alter ego of Guy Haines.
??? ??? ??? ???

I just dropped by the motel for a few minutes to print something. The church were we are meeting doesn't have any three-prong outlets. Can you believe it?
-
Many motions have been made today and many motions have been passed. And that sums up my day.
-
The host church is providing snacks. And they are vegetable trays and fruit trays. So it is easy to be good. Food-wise.
-
Will we never get to page five.
Certainly.
-
We're STILL on page four?
Not for long.

I began my afternoon with ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS, Doris Day's first feature film. Grand fun and always has been, and easy to see why Day caught on so quickly: she's an ingratiating presence, and that voice: ballads or swing numbers, she's tops!
The transfer I'd place squarely between THE THREE MUSKETEERS and THE ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN. More vibrant than MUSKETEERS but not quite as eye-popping as DON JUAN. But it's a very solid transfer. There are lots of places where a poorly encoded DVD would have moire patterns on clothes and horizontal blinds, but this transfer is steady as a rock.
What's more, this is the first time I've ever been able to see Doris' freckles through the thick pancake make-up that Warners used on her. That's how clear and sharp this transfer is!
-
Oh --
One of the men didn't get his hotel reservation changed. He says the place is as disgusting as I told him the reviews are.
The Big Cheese is glad I sent the link to the reviews. Everyone would have refused to stay there, I'm sure.
-
And THAT is all.
-
I continued watching the special features on the DEJA VU DVD. I still have the deleted scenes to go. I'm still watching the film a second time through with the seamless branching feature turned on getting documentaries on various aspects of the picture making process. These featurettes add about thirty minutes to the two hour movie so it's just taking time to see it all again.
-
Will we never get to page six?
-
There are way too many errant and truant people and there will be a bitch-slapping to be reckoned with, oh, yes, there will be a bitch-slapping to be reckoned with.
-
We had a nice sound check - I think I'm one of the few people who could actually tell the sound man what I wanted to hear.
-
Good Afternoon!
Greetings from Westport!
I had a nice train ride up, and I've gone through the keyboard. And all that is left is to just do it. At tomorrow's matinee. The associate conductor and I are going to meet early tomorrow to play through the show, and then at 3:00... *At since the show has no intermission, I can't be fired halfway through. ;)
-
Well, I need to get ready to meet DR singdaw for dinner.
Laters...
-
Thanks to DRs Dakota Celt and DearReaderLaura for continued vibes for DH Richard.
-
[size=8]WHAT????????[/size]
Yeah! ???
Next thing I know they'll tell us there's no Santa Claus and that my mother is the Queen of England! ;)

Please!

I'll bet we will!

You can bet on it!

Good morning DR Singdaw - usually it's only Dear Reader Laura here at this time of the night! I think DR George has gone to sleep in front of his PC. Shsh.
No need to by quiet for me anymore. ;) I'm up and I'm actually at work. After a couple of hours here, both sides of my niece's family (our side and "their" side...all 13 of us) are all meeting at Applebee's for dinner. Tuesday will be her 23rd birthday and this is where she wants to go to eat...and tonight is when we can all get together at the same time. Fine with me. :D

I'm trying to watch this TCM doc on Rita Hayworth, but I have come close to hurling my shoe through the TV about five times in the first sixteen minutes - first because it is so poorly and stupidly put together and written, second because of Kim Basinger's "narration" performance - which gives somnambulism a whole new meaning. Miss Basinger has always been a terrible actress, and she's terrible even in her droning reading of the narration - it's like she's on Quaaludes in a tank of water - I'm sure she thinks she's being wonderful, but I'm here to tell you Miss Hayworth deserves better than this tripe - and you would be shocked at how much these things cost and how much dough their producers rake in.

Will we never get to page seven?

Topic of the Day:
A Chorus Line (the movie)
A local (no longer in existence) theater group did a production of Little Shop of Horrors that was just horrible! I can't even begin to describe how stupifyingly bad it was. The Audrey couldn't stay in tune and when they sang "Closed for Renovations," the only "renovations" that were made was that Audrey brought in ONE tiny little vase with a plastic rose. That was it! Their Seymour and Orin were good (and cute ;)), but everything else about the show was not. They performed on the main stage at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts, which holds 988 people (or so) and on Halloween, they had a special deal that if you came in costume, you could get a ticket for half price. I don't know how many came in costume, but a TOTAL of 30 people showed up! In a theater that holds almost 1000!! It was bad.

I'm sure of one thing: Guy Haines does not do that narration!
Now, does he really sing?!

Little Shop of Horrors being horrible... makes sense to me but now that Guy Haines is not Guy Haines anymore, what's to be believed?! ;)

Do you know if Guy Haines showed up... disguised as BK?
-

That is surprising Laura...

Unless it was BK disguised as Guy Haines! Either (his) way!

I have done some drawing of lines, so to speak... I will warn you it is not great but it is an attempt at artistic creativity...

We've been lied to!

You can say that again!
Abuse of confidence! That's what it is!

Maybe Celine Dion is Barbara Streisand then?!
How can we know?
-
Maybe Julie Andrews is NOT Julie Andrews and Deanna Durbin has been singing for her all these years?
Who knows? Who knows?? I'm gonna ask who then!
-
Well, is their country fried steak thinking you?! ???
Always. ;)
-
Oh, that's okay then.
NO! That's not OK!
Guy Haines is a fraud!! ;)
That's not ok!

Always. ;)
Now, don't give me that Irving Berlin stuff, Dakota err, TC err, Ron?!

It's no use trying to hide behind a bunch of coloured balloons! We want the truth!

DR Edisaurus: have you read the news????
-
What we're they thinking of???
Bruce Kimmel IS Guy Haines!!
yeah! Brent Barrett is Jason Graae while you're at it!

Please! Please! Don't you all stay there, like so much fish!
-
DR DAKOTA CELT,
Glad you see you back. I'm sure this is a difficult time for you. My best to both you and your dad.
-
Ok! Ok! Edisaurus just left! She gave me the cold shoulder because I'm not Dr What's His Name! (Actually, is that is actual name???)
She just left!
Nobody cares! Why shoulder I Err, should I!
-
DAKOTA,
I didn't know you like to draw. Is that a drawing of you and your DB? Quite nice.
I used to do both figure drawing and some fashion illustration. Not professsionally, just as a hobby. I've been wanting to get back to it, maybe later this year. I'd like to do some watercolor, too.
-
I'm waiting for the "Allons nous jamais atteindre la page 8?" phrase!!
Guy Haines is NOT Guy Haines, and all they care about is the next dreadful, bloody, *<##& page!!
-
Ah, la voilà la fichue page huit!
Have it YOUR way, Mr Haines!
-
Hello, Francois. I don't think we've ever been introduced.
-
Hello, Francois. I don't think we've ever been introduced.
Introduced, no! (I leave this one to TCB!!) but FOOLED yes!
All these years! Just can't believe it! :'( :'( :'( :'(

You see, I'm giving you the Warm Shoulder, Francois.
-
fooled, DR Francois? Fooled by Mr BK?
-
You see, I'm giving you the Warm Shoulder, Francois.
Can I even trust you! Can I!
You might be Der Brucer for all I know!! ;)
You might even be DR Jane that has not posted in a while... which might explain why!
Guy Haines is Bruce! Who are they trying to con?!
-
You see, mon ami, there is so much BK to BK that it doesn't all fit into one person! He needs to be two people!
-
fooled, DR Francois? Fooled by Mr BK?
Or Mr Haines! Haven't you read the forum today?????
thers' no Mr Haines! He does not exist! It's been Mr K. doing the singing all those years! Shameful!
-
You see, mon ami, there is so much BK to BK that it doesn't all fit into one person! He needs to be two people!
I won't comment on that! NO I won't! :D
-
No, you are NOT Der Brucer! Entirely different personality!
And I am NOT DR Jane, not that there would be anything wrong with that. she and I have quite a few things in common, actually. But we are separate people, which BK can verify.
-
There is a lovely photo of Mr. Haines and I in the booklet from Haines His Way. I will admit that we've slept together, but I'm afraid the details must remain discreet. I must now buy a new hair dryer. That, as we like to say in show business, is a segue.
-
Mr Haines was just balloons (Pop!), baseball caps (Buzzz) or music sheets (Zing!) or microphones (Hello? Is anybody here?!)
-
Must go now. My dinner is on the table.
-
Oh, hello, Bruce. We were just talking about you.

You see! You see! There's something about a "hair dryer" after the one, two of them slept together (Wow!).... Oh.... I must cal the National Inquirer! I must!!
A hair raising story indeed! Quite a blow! A blow, I tell you!
-
Oh, hello, Bruce. We were just talking about you.
Sure! Go ahead! Try to sweeten him up!! You're part of the scam I am sure! Can't trust anybody anymore!
"Hello! National Inquisitor?"

I was part of a production that ended up in the category of "What were they thinking." It was a production of Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST. The director decided to set the show in the Louisiana Bayou, but nothing was ever mentioned in the play or the program to indicate the change. He also invisioned Prospero as a Harry Anderson type character, who was good at magic. He also used an original "bayou-style" score that actually sounded like an out of tune synthesizer. I played Alonso, the King of Naples. My court and I were Chicago gansters who were shipwrecked in a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. I think!

Der Brucer bought a new DVD player today.
It did not come with a remote.
He was sold, instead, a universal remote.
He's been trying to figure out how to universally remote for the last fifteen minutes.
-
And we both got haircuts. We both look so dashing and chipper now, we're fabulous and amazing at the same time!
-
Wait a sec, I think he's figured out the universal remote.
We will presently have our own universe!

Here's a note from his blog about that Paris vist of his!
Monday, February 19, 2007
AH PARIS!
greetings my love angels. i write you post-paris. a friend and i went. we took the eurostar (chunnel train: 20 minutes under the english channel....when you REALLLLLY think about it...crazy! kinda scary) left early sunday morning, spent the day jettin off to the eiffel tower, up to the top, PERFECT day, back to the hotel to freshen up, cab to the moulin rouge to find out it was sold out (and probably tackier than hell....DAMN we didn't get in!) walked through montmartre and found a great place for dinner (champagne, snails, soup, lamb, chocolate mousse, bottle of french rose) and finally, took a look into the incredible sacre coeur. came back to our boutique hotel in the 8th district (overpriced and kinda lame) and up in the morning in time to head back to the train station to zip off to london (first class upgrade.....awesome...do it!)
back for the show monday night (tonight) to a packed house that sounded like they saw U2 in concert. love crowds like that. i didn't have the heart to tell them i wasn't bono, so i just bowed and drank it in. my weekend: it was a lot of fun, very chill, and completely worth it. one must spoil oneself once in a while.
i am making good on my promise to travel more in the new year. in the process of planning trips to scotland, paris again, italy in the fall, and hopefully wales, brighton, more of the coutryside for camping, and a trip to water somewhere. we'll see.
peace.

I shall now be on my way to sup and see Miss Merissa Haddad's nightclub debut, after which I shall return. Keep the home fries burning until my returning for which I know you'll be yearning.

Today, someone stole a Celtic skull from the World of Wisdom. Left the box on the shelf and walked out with it.
I hope it stares at them every night.

Evening folks! I hope all of you are doing well. I wanted to make sure you all know about the storm that will be heading up the East coast tomorrow.
Our local weather people say it will be equal to a Cat 1 hurricane! Please be safe!!!

DR DakotaCelt, I want to let you know that you and your Dad are in my thoughts.
When we were told that Dad had cancer, they said he only had six months to live. He lasted three years. By the time we were in that third year, the strong robust man I knew as my father, was like a scarecrow.
It was to a point where I didn't know what to wish for. I wanted my Dad with me but I couldn't stand to see how much pain he was in. He went back in time to WWII and saw German's everywhere.
Sometimes I think the extra time was a blessing and other times a curse that I wouldn't want to put anyone I know through.
And here I am going through almost the same thing with my Mom. The doctor said she has beween 2 and 4 months but no more then 6 left. So far, except for the hip, she seems fine --so in my book I think she will be with me for at least a year or two longer.
The doctors don't know. All you can do is take one day at a time and know that when the time comes, at least the person you love won't be in pain any more. :)

He is a tough bird and has amazed the doctors for he has also had other health issues that have complicated treatments but it has only been recently that has he shown marked decline. I am thankful for th time and thankful for the fun and wonderful memories.

Since it seems to be a slow Saturday evening, I think I will share this touching story with all of you.
On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband and asked for $20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter. In his highly aroused state, her husband readily agreed.
This scenario was repeated each time they made love, for more than 30 years, with him thinking that it was a cute way for her to afford new clothes and other incidentals that
she needed.
Arriving home around noon one day, she was surprised to find her husband in a very drunken state. During the next few minutes, he explained that his employer was going through a process of corporate downsizing, and he had been let go. It was unlikely that, at the age of 59, he'd be able to find another position that paid anywhere near what he'd been earning, and therefore, they were financially ruined.
Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book which sh owed more than thirty years of steady deposits and interest totaling nearly $1 million. Then she showed him certificates of deposits issued by the bank which were worth over $2 million, and informed him that they were one of the largest depositors in the bank.
She explained that for the more than three decades she had "charged" him for sex, these holdings had multiplied and these were the results of her savings and investments.
Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over $3 million, her husband was so astounded he could barely speak, but finally he found his voice and blurted out, "If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you all my business!"
That's when she shot him.
You know, sometimes, men just don't know when to keep their mouths shut.

Next, I watched UNITED 93. I was able to get through this fantastic movie, but the opening half hour to forty minutes recounts the reactions as air traffic personnel saw the Trade Center Towers being hit, and now even after so many years, that footage and those reactions are devastating. The rest of the movie had to do with the other two hijacked plane, the hapless US Military who were powerless to do anything without Presidental authorization, and, finally, the passengers rallying their strength and overtaking the four hijackers. Very emotionally involving and really superb.
More famous faces in it than I was expecting: Christian Clemenson, Gregg Henry, Cheyenne Jackson, David Bakshe, Peter Hermann.

I watched the fifth ANDY BARKER, P.I. episode. Nestor Carbonell guest starred as a doctor scamming money. There was also a funny running gag with Andy's child wanting her stuffed elephant which had gotten misplaced.
-
Ended the evening watching the last ANDY BARKER, P.I. episode. This guest starred Ed Asner as Harve Presnell's ex-partner who had killed someone and framed an ex-girl friend for the job. OK end to the series, but despite its sweetness, just never was funny enough.

Good Evening!
Greetings from Westport. I decided to stay up here tonight at the Westport Inn since I started running a fever during the show tonight. So...
In any case, the show went well, very receptive audience. And DR singdaw met for dinner, and I even took a few pics of his punim. And it's a nice punim.
But in the meantime, I'm heading bed...
Vibes would be most appreciated.

Merissa did beautifully, played to a sold out house. More in the notes, which I must now write.
I must say that I, who have seen some of the most incredibly amazing musical numbers by some of the greatest choreographers who ever lived, was completely underwhelmed with that Mary Poppins clip - not one interesting step in the entire number - it seems to be about moving people from here to there, along with moving some panels around. Give me Gower Champion, baby.

I know I am WAY late to the party.....but this clip of Scissor Sisters from the 2007 Brit Awards is so very funny!
Song is pretty catchy as well. Count me as a fan. ;D

Very sorry to hear about your health. I know you are battling a cold or sinus infection, and this is certainly not welcome, with your first show in the pit approaching.
I enjoyed seeing you again very much, and
