So, guess where I was at Midnight on Saturday, July 21, 2007
-
No, I haven't finished the book yet. I refuse to be rushed through reading it, although I have removed myself (I hope) from obvious spoilers. My Home pages are blank Google shots and if a news story comes on, no matter what they are saying the sound either gets muted or the channel is changed. I don't trust anyone (which does take some of the fun out of it). Oh, well. I have the book and I'm happy.
-
Good morning Larry.

Julie, glad to hear that Lennie's set was good. I'll tell Anthony.
-
I'm seeing Gypsy from the cheap seats tomorrow.

Thanks, Edi, for the millstone wishes.

Good morning, all! I need new shoes.
This morning, I return to Toyland to continue packing up the place. Our latest info is that the lease should be finished by tomorrow or the next day and we can move this weekend. I will believe this, of course, when it happens, but -whatever occurs now - we have to be packed up for the movers.
Yesterday was quite a long day: After five hours of edits, I stood in line for forty minutes at the main post office to mail HARRY POTTER to Charlotte, only to learn that an overnight delivery on Sunday, which cost $24.00 would not arrive until Tuesday. I think this is criminal, but I had no other options but to go with it. While I was waiting, an older black gentleman keeled over, taking several of the current equivalent for velvet ropes with him. I have no idea if it were the heat or the long standing in line. The emergency crew took about 15 minutes to arrive and they were tending to him when I left. I got around 3:30, had to wait 30 minutes for a neighbor to use the laundry room, and I finished up my laundry about 6:30. After that I watched the final three episodes of UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS Season 4.
TOD: the first major outdoor production I remember fondly is the original Public Theatre cast of PIRATES OF PENZANCE twice in Central Park. The Broadway transfer was fun, but the production in the Park was the perfect end to a hot summer day. The only thing I've enjoyed nearly as much was the revival two years ago of the musical TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA. In this case, in which I saw the original production after it had moved to Broadway, the original cast was superior, but the revival was one of the better revisicals I've seen.
-
Good morning Larry.
Howdy, Ben! Hey, Fred!
-
Larry - I loved that TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA revival as well. Kathleen Marshall did a wonderful job, I thought.
-
Theatre out of doors.....people eating sandwiches and drinking.....I am....appalled.

DR Ben, glad you got your book! I was worried about some kid in the store flipping to the back and yelling out a spoiler within my hearing. But no such incident occurred. In fact, at the Stop & Shop early on Saturday morning, I was the only one in the store, and there was no line at all! :)

TOD:
My favorite outdoor concert was Live Aid, which I attended in Philly at the now long-gone JFK Stadium. The weather was hot, hot, hot and there were long, long, long delays between acts but the crowd was friendly, cheerful and festive throughout the day and into the night.
-
Well, here I am at my office and no Harry Potter book in sight. In fact, I haven't received any confirmation from Amazon that it's shipped at all.
If it's not placed upon my desk by end of day, I will pick up a copy on my way home and whatever Amazon sends will be returned for a refund.
-
Monday morning greetings! Today's my day off, too. DH Richard and I will leave soon to take my car in for some routine service and to see if they can figure out why the slidey shade that's supposed to cover my sunroof won't close all the way. Then we're going to Staples to get printer ink cartridges for my mother and me. Then I'm coming home to answer some very important emails that I received this morning. Then I'm going to have lunch with my retired librarian friend Becky, who I've not seen since before Thanksgiving.

Important question for NYC DRs:
Can anyone comment on the neighborhood of West 54th St., near 9th Ave?

Good morning, fellow Dear Readers.
I think I shall rake up some pine needles before heading over to see DR MusicGuy's new place.

I have nothing to add about TOD.

THE DAY OFF:
(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51rJHSZVatL._AA240_.jpg)
-
54th & 9th is busy and, for midtown, not a bad area. I have a friend who lives at 52nd and 9th and loves the neighborhood. Hell's Kitchen is not the area it used to be. It's still kind of edgy but that's as you go farther west. If you have a potential residence location I think it's fine.
-
Good morning to the most lovely and sultry bunch of vixens on all of the internet!
Good morning dear Ben...... The picture of you getting the new HP book was so cute !!
Good morning dear DR Laura.... I'm having some much needed coffee and getting a little desk work done, before our rendezvous later.
Hi ScrimShaw....I hope you have a great start of a great week!
-
and I think I'll make sure to have a "meas" today.....BK's sounded so yummy yesterday, but it's not always easy to find meas when you need it!
-
And now, I shall hie myself away to a little work.

Sunday I actually went to a movie! I haven't paid money and walked into a movie theatre to watch a movie for a long time. I much prefer watching things at home. A friend wanted to see Hairspray so we went to the Union Square Regal Cinemas. I liked the movie. I was not sure how I would react because I like the stage musical but they won me over. One of the reasons is they treated the movie like an old musical. None of this bull about "you can't have people breaking into song and having people join in. All the musical numbers must take place in a person's head or have a reason for being" The movie opened with Good Morning Baltimore and Tracy started singing and dancing in her bedroom and walked to the bus stop singing and people joined in and it was great. The same with I Can Hear the Bells. The movie was a lot of fun. I do think the Travolta and Christopher Walken were the weakest parts (IMHO). Travolta wasn't bad but he didn't have the spark and I kept seeing JT in a fat suit. Walken, despite his chorus boy background, didn't work for me at all. One of my favorite numbers, You're Timeless to Me was OK but again, the spark of chemistry that lit up the stage with Fierstein and Latessa was sorely missing with Travolta and Walken.
I'm really glad I saw it. I thought it was a good transfer from stage to screen.

Important question for NYC DRs:

It's crawling with cops, as there's a precinct on 54th between 8th & 9th. And one block up is the beautiful spanking new Alvin Ailey School of Dance. And on that block, you'll find the Julia Miles Theatre, where, from September 28-October 6, you can see this show about the serious business of doing comedy on live TV in the 50's Such Good Friends ;D
-
DR EDI - I am not sure about the author of THE CASE OF THE DANCING SANDWICHES, but he may be prominent in some other area because the paperback version of said tome goes for $99.50 on Amazon (almost as much as a share of the Brain).
Surprised Pogue didn't chime in on this, but then Pogue hasn't chimed in on much for quite some time.
Fredric Brown was a fabulous writer of short stories and novels, both mysteries and sci-fi. Very funny, too. His first mystery, The Fabulous Clipjoint is a classic and, for B-film fans, his novel Screaming Mimi became a film with Anita Ekberg (and not too good a film - the novel is fun). At one point, I had a complete collection of first editions, and during the nineties, Dennis McMillan, a private publisher, issued a huge number of limited editions containing the short stories and novellas.
-
The final scene of Such Good Friends underwent a whole heap of changes this weekend. Before Friday’s auditions, it was necessary for me to commit to removing the two wives and two sons. The list of parts agents submit their clients for, and actors look in BackStage for, had to match the script as it will be produced. (As a Next Link selection in NYMF at the Julia Miles Theatre, opening September 28.) So, I was under pressure from everybody to remove those four characters, leaving us with a cast of ten.
So, I could no longer do the ending stolen from Camelot; there would be no boy(s) to sing to. That ending’s songs were a jingle (for an electric range), Be Funny, Tell a Danny Story, Things That Danny Did and a finale re-capping history everybody knew.
At the start of the weekend, there was still the ending stolen from Porgy and Bess, with the protagonist doing something admirable and foolish but obviously leading to disaster. That ending’s songs were a jingle (for a toaster: Make the Most of Your Toast), Be Funny, a new song called Too Happy To Be Singing the Blues and a finale consisting of Tell a Danny Story sandwiches between two reprised snippets. I intended to add a choral number to the sequence, but merely wrote New Song Goes Here.
Saturday, I wrote the new chorale, and built a new ending around it. I dubbed this version the dumb show.. The songs were Be Funny, the previously-cut Dottie Francis Theme Song, Too Happy To Be Singing the Blues (interrupted, a la Live Laugh Love) and the new chorale, which led into a brief reprise of something from Act One. Sunday, I woke up very early, unable to sleep, anticipating how this new ending would go over with my director. To bide the time before the meeting, I rewrote the overture.
On the bus ride to our meeting, I came up with an idea to use the back-to-the-start structure of Mademoiselle Colombe. So, I had a backup ready if my director didn’t like the dumb show. I did my best to sing the chorale as if I had eight different voices, and my director was very pleased. End of story, right? Well, we still had other ideas to pitch. I reminded him about Mademoiselle Colombe and he reminded me of something that can only be described as a deus ex machina. I realized that I had trouble sleeping because this beautiful chorale was too obvious to be good. It was telling the audience something that had already been demonstrated through action, a cardinal sin too many musicals commit.
I said “The ending must show the protagonist has learned something. It’s not about telling some message. The audience can draw conclusions about a message later. Right now it’s about the character’s redemption.” In order to make that work, I need to use a little of that deus ex machina, and cut any song that appears to be the story’s moral. So, Sunday night I wrote the most positive ending yet: Dottie Francis Theme Song, Too Happy To Be Singing the Blues in full 32-bar form (the verse got cut), and a reprise. The two main characters end the show by walking off the stage together, having developed a new appreciation of each other, a la Gypsy.
I slept well. Of course, the next time something disturbs my sleep I’ll change it again.
-
I just wrote a long post to JRand and Edi re: Fredric Brown which got lost in the ethers.
Fred Brown is a well-known and revered writer of mysteries and well-regarded science fiction. But I prefer his mysteries. He won a Mystery Writers of America award for best first novel with THE FABULOUS CLIPJOINT. This started a short but swell series with Ed and Ambrose Hunter (nephew and uncle) as detectives. He also wrote SCREAMING MIMI, THE FAR CRY, THE LENIENT BEAST, and NIGHT OF THE JABBERWOCK among others. All great stuff. His original hardbacks go for upwards of $200 and paperback originals like THE CASE OF THE DANCING SANDWICHES bring a pretty penny. I bought MADBALL several years ago for fifty and it now brings upwards of ninety in good condition.
Both BK and I are fans of Brown. I have an extensive collection but not complete. He's expensive and tough to find, but well worth the read. A great writer.
-
So much for sleeping in on my day off. I woke up at six, ready to vomit on the ground - have no idea why, but it happens occasionally these days - you know - don't mean to be gross, but with that awful taste in your mouth and a throat that feels like it's going to burn away. It's finally calming down and I, of course, did not vomit on the ground or anywhere else.
-
BK, I've got all the McMillans of Brown's pulp work. He also put out THE CASE OF THE DANCING SANDWICHES, which is the only copy of the story I have. All the McMillans have intros by famous writers in the mystery/pulp field and are all signed by these indviduals. Even these books are getting up there in price.
-
Pogue and I were posting at exactly the same time! We were a deux et postina.
-
BK, sounds like acid reflux to me. Probably too much Diet Coke. I've cut my diet coke consumption down so much these days, that I've just gone back to real coke. I'd forgotten how good the real thing is.

My throat is still not quite right and has that yuckier than yucky taste. Blechhh.
I wonder if when Murder At Hollywood High comes out, we'll all be up at midnight having a partay.

Mr. David Wechter managed to do the rewrite on the final two General Mills' scenes, and they're much better now, so I'll just polish it, redo about three more lines, and this slightly new version will be done and off to NY and the casting director.

The Old Globe in San Diego was always good for outdoor plays. My favourite was probably a version of LONDON ASSURANCE I saw there once. The Globe in London was a unique experience, especially as I stood as a groundling throughout...but the play was cack-- a version of THE TEMPEST with Vanessa Redgrave playing...wait for it...Prospero. I've seen Vanessa on stage several times. She can either be wonderful or just phoning it in. Here she was god-awful.
There is a little group called The Independent Shakespeare Company that performs up in Barnsdall Park in Hollywood who is quite wonderful and Julieanne and I became real fans before we left.
The theatre group I'm with this summer did outdoor Shakespeare at a vineyard, Equus Run, a short distance from my house. It was a something of a triumph and we'll be doing it next year, expanding to two plays. It has a great ambience and vibe. Shakespeare without body mics, very intimate. The wine's not bad either.
-
Thanks, singdaw and Dan (the Man)!

I hope your tummy feels better, BK. I like Pepcid Complete for tummy upsets.

I have raked up a big sack of pine needles for the men to take to the alley.

TOD:
I have spend many a lovely summer evening at the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival. They perform under a big tent on the grounds of Boscobel, a restoration of a Revolution-era residence on the banks of the Hudson River. It is a breathtaking setting, directly across the river from the West Point campus. You can bring a picnic supper and dine on the grounds overlooking the river, or purchase a catered gourmet meal. The plays are streamlined and somewhat "tarted up" for broader appeal, but are usually still quite enjoyable. Unless you get a really sultry humid evening, the whole experience is quite enjoyable.
-
Excellent fundraiser vibes and xylophones to BK!
BTW - have you tried elevating the head of your bed? We have 4 volumes of World Book yearbooks under each corner of our headboard and that has helped DH Richard enormously with a problem similar to the one you describe. Of course, so did retirement, but that's another issue ;)
-
Uh-oh, just got another idea..

Good morning HHW!

Good morning!
It got cool enough last night for me to turn off the central A/C and fling open windows and doors with the attic fan running. The house was noticeably cooler this morning, and it's continued to be. I will probably be able to do this two more days before having to stay closed up for the entire 24 hours of every day.
-
Medium steady rain here today.

I don't know what goodies the mailman will deliver. I'm hopeful the MGM musical box will come today (was shipped Thursday), and I've got two Blu-ray discs on the way, too.
If the MGM musicals come today, THE PIRATE will be the first film in the player. If not, I'll continue with MOONLIGHTING and ATOM MAN VS. SUPERMAN serial.
-
Reminder about TV tonight.
THE CLOSER has a new episode at 9 p.m.
Holly Hunter's new series SAVING GRACE premieres immediately following THE CLOSER at 10.
-
I have seen the outdoor drama THE LOST COLONY several times, and the first time I saw it, I was very, very moved by it. Haven't seen it in quite a few years, however.
-
TOD: BK, DR Sandra, and I once attended an excellent outdoor concert by Jason Graae at the Hollywood Bowl.
-
Just thought I'd check in before we take the twins to the Zoo.
And that is all for now. Ciao-ders!
-
Oh...I, too, loved the Public's production of TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA in Central Park. Loved it so much, in fact, that I saw it twice and then ran out to get the cast recording. I thought the cast was wonderful - especially Megan Lawrence, Norm Lewis and Elisa Renee Goldsberry (I think that's her name). Rosario Dawson was most definitely the weakest link that production...
-
TOD - Several years ago I took my mother, well into her 80's, to Kettering, Ohio's Fraze Pavillion (http://www.fraze.com) to see Keith Lockhart conduct the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra. You see, Mother has a huge crush on KL, so we splurged on seats right up front. When he came onstage, she said to me, "He has the bluest eyes!" Fraze Pavillion is named for Ernie Fraze, the inventor of the pull-tab (like on a soft drink or beer can).
Also, for the past several summers the Ohio Humanities Council has put on a series of Chautauqua (http://www.ohiohumanities.org/chaut/index.htm) programs. We weren't able to get to any of them this summer, but in other years we've enjoyed Johnny Appleseed, General Sherman, Zelda Fitzgerald, etc.

I do hope that DR Jason takes his camera to the zoo today.

THE LOST COLONY is done on the North Carolina coast (at Manteo). On the other side of the state in the Smoky Mountains are two wonderful outdoor dramas: UNTO THESE HILLS and HORN IN THE WEST. I enjoyed seeing both of these when I was younger, but again, I haven't seen them in a long, long time. I assume they're still running in the summer.

I'm up, I'm up... And it's raining in NYC. But it seems like a gentle, soaking rain, so it actually sounds kind of nice. Of course, I have to head out in it in a few, so, we'll see if my opinion of the sound changes once I'm under my umbrella.

Now I'm craving Chik-Fil-A's spicy chicken sandwich.
But I guess I can pine away, 'cause the nearest Chik-Fil-A is half way across town.
-
bk - Definitely sounds like acid reflux to me. Since you seem to be having recurring bouts of heart burn/acid reflux, I think you might want to see a doctor just to make sure everything is OK. Or at least consult with a pharmacist - maybe a course of Zantac is what you need right now. *And even though the meal you had yesterday sounded very yummilicious, it also sounded quite acid-producing-inducing. And the "stress" of getting Joan's concert up and going probably didn't help matters either.
But, again, I'm not a doctor. I just play one on TV.

I, too, concur with the acid reflux. I rarely have it myself, but a couple enzyme supplements will take care of it. You may be eating too many acid foods: meat, fish, and sugar are all acid. Alkaline foods are fruit and veg.
Of course, I know you will probably skip this post. :)

Didja know that all Chick-Fil-A's are closed on Sundays so that the employees can go to church?
They originated in Atlanta, and my father-in-law was one of their first employees, when Truett Cathy owned The Dwarf House. They seem to treat their employees very well.
My DH does a lot of work for them. It's nice that they are off on Sundays---then the pagans crew can shoot in the stores.
Whenever he gets paid from them, we call it a "Check-Fil-A".
-
Now, I really, really want a Chick-Fil-A spicy chicken sandwich. With a small waffle fry.

I wonder if Chick-Fil-A is privately owned? I'm thinking it would be hard to find investors that would approve of a business plan that excludes half the potential revenue from every weekend.

Not for us--we saw The Illusionist first, but liked The Prestige better. DS Betsy had to point out to me how the first few seconds of The Prestige pretty much "give everything away," though you have to see the whole movie to figure that out. I saw the "twist" of The Illusionist coming a mile (possibly two) away. :)

Well, I didn't make it to Chik-Fil-A, but I did get a very tasty grilled chicken sandwich from one of my favorite street vendor carts.

She's about to be offered a current B'way show replacing someone (it's not a done deal and details have to be ironed out) but she's petrified of the songs. So, I told her this was not something she should think about, that she HAD to do it, and that the songs would be no problem and that we'd work together on it here until she was completely comfortable with it before even beginning rehearsals. And, what made her ever more comfortable was that if it were to work out, she'd rehearse in September and I'll be there, and if she's freaking out or needs help I can provide it.
-
I'm still feeling weird. Normally when I have this problem, the yucky throat part goes away fast, but it's lingering.
-
Very cool news about Cindy Williams making her B'way debut!
-
Hurray for Cindy! That is wonderful.

Interesting link here (http://www.broadwaystars.com/followspot/2007/07/the_gypsy_cult.shtml) to an article interviewing Broadway insiders about what makes Gypsy, the show, so special to them.

Act One of what?, DR JRand?
I think he was talking about his rehearsals for The Fantasticks.

Reminder about TV tonight.
THE CLOSER has a new episode at 9 p.m.
Holly Hunter's new series SAVING GRACE premieres immediately following THE CLOSER at 10.
Tonight's CLOSER has lots of very funny moments!
-
I also see ( :( ) that there is not a store located close to NYC.
They want to keep the level of quality for their products and don't want to charge what they would have to charge to have places in NYC. Or so my DH says...
-
I don't like Chick-Fil-A that much---my DH loves it---but they do have dangerously good hand-spun milkshakes. Beware!
-
I wonder what would happen if you ate a Cherry Ripe.
Maybe that's the problem!
-
Maybe that's the problem!
Too many Cherry Ripes = Not so Cheery Pipes?

Cindy Williams IS The Beales (both of them--simultaneously) in an extended Grey Gardens?
-
Cindy Williams IS Lizzie with LeVar Burton AS Pa (well they have to keep it consistent in their own weird way) in 110 in the Shade?
-
dangerously good hand-spun milkshakes.
"Hand-spun"? I don't think I've heard that phrase before. However, I don't think I ever met a milkshake I didn't like.
-
Hand spun; think whirling dervish! ;)
-
Cindy Williams IS Moses?
-
Hand spun; think whirling dervish! ;)
Actually, I'd rather just think about the milkshake!
-
I'd rather just think about the milkshake!
And, from all reports, the fries are pretty amazing, too! :)

The milkshakes are some of the best, for a fast food restaurant---tied with Steak and Shake.

But never, never on a Sunday, a Sunday,
A Sunday, 'cos that's my day of rest.
Do you think they'd go for it?

DR SINGDAW is correct - it is THE FANTASTICKS that I am rehearsing right now. THE SUNSHINE BOYS has one more session of auditions tonight, which I will be unable to attend.
The director said that we have Stage Combat and Dance tonight, but I reminded him that I had to have 24 hours notice before choreography rehearsal....and have heard nothing since.
Scary.....but I do have my Indian Braid Wig and my Indian headband with two feathers.
I have never been more prepared....
-
Loved the article that DR SINGDAW linked about Gypsy.
And the Broadway news about Miss Cindy Williams is very exciting and intriguing.
-
I have never been more prepared....
GOOD boy scout!
Do you have your dance belt?

Good Afternoon!
Well, that was short and sweet. I ended up getting down to Ripley-Grier around 12:40, and since people had already signed up, we started a couple of minutes early. And then when the monitor walked in the room at 1:35, and said, "That's all."... That was all. So, I hung out a bit while they danced some people just in case we had some latecomers. But there were no latecomers. So, now I'm home. And, best of all, I'm still on the clock until 6:00! :)
-
And I was licked by Sugar.
I guess that's better than the other way around.

...And the rain continues here in NYC. It wasn't too annoying while walking around downtown, however, with all the scaffolding up around every other building, there were lots of little waterfalls here and there. I'm just glad it's not windy and stormy, otherwise, we'd that pesky leak in our downstairs bathroom would probably return.
-
DR singdaw - Thank you for your mail. :)
You're welcome! I couldn't think of anyone more appropriate to have that. Or, since you're de-cluttering...you can toss it! :)

DR JOSE - my friend Vickie would like Ms Lee's autograph, too, if possible.
She was the person who first told me about this show she had seen in New York about DANCERS!!! And she bought me one of those Brass Ticket Key Holders that was a ticket to the show....still have it!
Ticket Price printed on it: $15.00
-
Hmm... So, since I have a couple of unexpectedly free hours... Hmm... I guess I could take care of a few things on my "Will Do List" a bit ahead of schedule. Or not. -Frankly, I could use a good nap, and I think I shall partake of one in a little while.
-
Now I forget who said it in those interviews.....but it makes perfect sense....and now I will never forget it:
GYPSY has the old show business snap and sparkle from Jule Styne and the darker future of show business from Stephen Sondheim.
Or something to that effect.

OK. I'm going to sit in the put-in rehearsal tomorrow afternoon - with orchestra - so that should provide me with enough time to get Ms. Lee to sign a few Playbills. -And I think I still have one of those ticket key chains too.

Well, Liza may not be your cup o'tea (or other foodstuff), but she's all over CASTRECL right now. So there. ;D
JMK, you may not get a DVD before August 6th. First Run is still working on them, trying to get them ready for their street date at the end of August. But I hope you can put your name in the pot for when it is ready!
-
OH! And we do have callbacks tomorrow for the initial auditions we held today. And since we didn't really call that many people back, we'll be starting at 10:00, and should be done by 10:45. -And I'll still be on the clock till 2:00! -And that's why I love The Mouse! :)

Mickey is made of money, that's for sure.
Just ask Annette who sued to get out of her Mouseketeer contract, but lost. Of course Walt then renegotiated with her (she had acquired an agent between 1955 and 1958, imagine that).....and by 1964 she was making a whopping $1500 per week with a guarantee of 40 weeks of employment per annum.

Cindy would be a great Sheila.....
"Don't you know the combination, Sheila?"
"I knew it when I was in front."
-
I put in "Anne of Cleves" from THE SIX WIVES OF HENRY VIII. This has always been my least favorite episode from the series, but since I had seen the others many times and this one only a couple, I thought I might give it another chance. It's not at all bad, of course, but the lack of drama just makes it come out on the bottom of the episodes for me.
-

I like Tommy Bond as Jimmy....he wears those cool hats that Jack Larson never got to wear on Television.
And Noel wears BIG BIG BIG hats, bigger than her head..... 8)
-
I watched another MOONLIGHTING episode. In order to give Cybill and Bruce basically a week or so off, the episode centered on Agnes Dipesto. Entitled "North by North Dipesto," she gets wrapped up in espionage without knowing what's going on. And in her usual addled state of mind, she was more confused than ever and a total victim throughout which made the episode kind of irritating.
-

He seems like he's playing a little more mature Jimmy than Jack Larson played. He can even fly an airplane.
Pierre Watkin plays Perry White in the serials. When SUPERMAN (the TV series) was renewed for a seventh season, John Hamilton (Perry White) died before production started (so, inevitably, did George Reeves). Pierre had been hired to reprise HIS version of Perry White for the seventh season.

I watched another serial episode. Superman saves Jimmy and Lois from the burning building. However, later in the episode, Lois is knocked unconscious and is in a runaway car heading for a cliff!

I had looked it up..it is the same writer. I've never read any of his books but I like the short stories I've read in sci-fi anthologies.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fredric_Brown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fredric_Brown)
I haven't read everything by Fredric Brown, but I've really loved what I have read...which has mostly been his science fiction and short stories. I used to have a copy of the short story collection, "Space On My Hands" that had the top of a nude woman and instead of legs, she had fingers. :o I haven't been able to find a picture of it on-line but if I remember correctly, the picture has absolutely nothing to do with any of the stories. ::)
-
I like the title! Different cover,though...

And speaking of legs, this cover is a direct rip-off of Hieronymous Bosch's version of hell. (OR was it heaven?)

OK...I thought it was inspired by... but they actually must have licensed the painting.

I've been lazy. Just about finished proofing, and have entered all fixes into the master Brain script - David highlighted changes in some way I can't figure out how to get rid of - anyone have any clews? In other words, he didn't do it how you would normally do it, from the Word menu bar - the shades are completely different.

I had a Subway Club for lunch. I picked up a package filled with DVD goodies - the same source (and final batch, since he's no longer working where he was) that got me all those wonderful DVD rarities of films that may or may not ever come out on DVD, all in glorious 16x9 transfers. I'm watching Under The Yum Yum Tree right now. For those who read Kritzer Time, you know that I used to love this play, even though it's smarminess is completely unacceptable in these times, and it's horribly dated. But I never loved the film version because it's opened up so much, and because Jack Lemmon just isn't as good as any of the people I saw do his role, which included Del Moore and Richard Erdman, amongst others. Dean Jones is fine as the younger fellow (played mostly by Bill Bixby the many times I saw the show), and Carol Lynley is very pretty - she was at the Hollywood Collector's Show this past weekend and if you didn't know it was her you wouldn't know it was her.

It's a nice neighborhood. It's a bit "empty" right now due to a couple of empty store fronts on the south-east side of 9th Ave. However, El Centro is right on the corner there - great Mexican food. -I believe DR Cillaliz and I ate there. Plus, you're right down the street from DR Jason's former workplace - MTI. There are some other good, basic diners in the area too.
You'd be a few blocks from the 50th and 59th Street/Columbus Circle subway stops too. Plus, there's a mini-farmer's market that sets up shop up on the corner or 9th and 57th. And since you're not on 8th Ave., and a few blocks from Times Square, it's also quieter at night.

When I'm asked what Such Good Friends is like, and don't have time to go into detail, I tell people it's like Gypsy. This is not a boast about its quality; it's just the type of show it is. Lots of humor, very catchy songs, on-stage and not on-stage numbers, and a serious side. Of course I have no mother-daughter material, nor a strip tease. (If I could figure out how to work in a strip tease to a show about the early days of television, I would. ::) )
Yes, I did write up a new version of the ending this morning. And restructured the scene that involves a forget-your-cares seduction (along the lines of You'll Never Get Away From Me), so it's been a big day.
Question for FJL and BK: How many days of rehearsal are you planning for your NYMF shows?

Whenever I'm asked what my fabulous life is like, I say it's much like "Ben-Hur" with a dollop of "Follies"...no, there's no dilapidated theater about to come down, and there isn't a chariot race, but if could figure out a way to work them in, I'm certain I'd go that route.
And you just wouldn't believe HOW MANY people ask me about this.

Today I loathe and detest the US Post Office: whle packing up the office today, we came across 5 cartons of empty toner containers to be returned at the manufacturer's expense. The cartons are clumsy and oversize but light and I thought, well, the PO has a pickup service. I spent over 30 minutes on the US Postal site trying to decipher why the 9th floor info on our address would not go through. On my second frustrating call to a voice on the PO's 800 number, I got through to a postal clerk who helped me and told me that I had to enter a suite number and our building was registered as having Suites 900-903. How the hell was I to know that?
After all that madness, I tried to schedule a pickup only to be refused for not having any package going Overnight or 2-3 dad special delivery. Damn! What assholes.

I never really watched "The Drew Carey Show," but I loved "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" with him as host...very, very, very (that's three verys) funny!!
-
We have some rain. I hope it rains a lot.
-
We are now under SIX various weather alerts.
-
Hi folks!
Just wanted to pop in and let you know that I am alive and well. The budget was submitted today and it looks like I'm in the clear--at least until January and vote happens. Things still could go bad at that time with even deeper cuts of jobs.
Still it is hard to tell you that over 400 jobs are gone right now. :'( It won't take effect until October 1st but that's a small comfort to those people.
I've been trying to keep myself busy. I painted the spare room (what I'm trying to call Mom's room) and the hall and the bathroom. It was a bit of a mistake to try to do all of that over two weekends. I will not attempt to do the living room for a few weeks. I need a break!
I hope everyone here is happy and well. I haven't heard anything bad. I'm very glad for that. :)
-
Good to hear from you, Danise. Any news you wish to share about the sleep study?
-
The rain only lasted a few minutes here.
-
RLP, I think you take JRand's horse racing far too seriously.
Nahhh....I just like to give him a hard time.
-
Well, I feel all cheery and upbeat!
-
I painted the spare room white. The bathroom and hall in something called "Blue Opal"--It was white when it went on the wall but turned a lovely pale shade of blue when it dried.
I bought "Creamy Beige" for the living room. I think it looks warm and inviting. I can't wait to get it all done. I have to go out and pick up some curtains before I do the living room.
The old ones have to be tossed because of the smoke smell. I will do some hunting for some nice ones on my upcoming weekend off.
-
That sounds lovely, Danise.
-
Good to hear from you, Danise. Any news you wish to share about the sleep study?
Alas, I don't get the results until July 31. I'm looking forward to hearing what the doctor has to say.
-
I told MusicGuy I'd help him paint his new place. That was before I saw the sixteen-foot ceilings, though.
I told him I don't do ladders. So I guess I'll help with the bedrooms, office, kitchen, and lower part of the living room.

I don't blame you. I'm lucky that I only have one of those little 4 step type of ladders and it's tall enough for me to touch the ceilings.
Trim. Ugh. :P
-
Hi, Danise! Glad to hear that you're able to breathe a little about your job and that you're keeping busy. Be sure to take that break, too. You deserve it!
-
Thank you, DR Ginny.
I'm trying to do my best. I still my moments but for the most part, I think I'm doing pretty good.
-
Hi Danise. It was fun chatting on the phone.
-
Hi Danise. It was fun chatting on the phone.
Always. :D
-
Ron-I'm glad you are feeling cheery and upbeat! :)
-
Danise-DRLaura is referring to DR MusicGuy's new house.
-
Oh, that must be nice.
Well, I said I would only post for a little while. I'm very tired--as I told you I was awake most of last night because I knew the budget was going to be submitted today.
Have a good evening all!
-
Bruce, excellent vibes and xylophones!
It sounds like acid reflux to me. I also suggest cutting out all soda. Try not eating anything at least 3 hours before going to bed. Put something under the head of your mattress to elevate yourself. They should hel.
Do you like black licorice? I buy Panda & slowly suck on those, not too many or they upset my stomach.
-
Hi lovelies and studlies...... (take your pick!).... I just wanted to pop in for a moment and say "Good Evening" to all here.
Continued strong and healthy vibes for dear Esteemed and sinewy BK !!
And dear DR Laura,.... the rain was a big letdown here also. it had all of the right look, like it might actually get going and drop some significant water, but then it just all fizzled out. Poo !!
-
And now..... I think I shall go and drop some significant water, and then pop out to find a meas that I can partake of ! ::)
-
I hope that some folks will watch the premiere of SAVING GRACE tonight and report back!
I don't know if we will get to it tonight, but we are recording it.
-
Oh, that must be nice.
Well, I said I would only post for a little while. I'm very tired--as I told you I was awake most of last night because I knew the budget was going to be submitted today.

Danise! Good luck with the employment crunch. Sounds as if you're doing something right so far.

Is that a euphemism?

Re: Cindy Williams
I first thought of The Drowsey Chaperone because TV stars Georgia Engel and Jo Anne Worley have played the same role.
Hairspray has been getting 'names" to join the cast. So far Jerry Mathers, Lance Bass and one of the castoffs from the Grease reality show. Get the names in and kee[
Curtains is also a possibility.
But don't rule out Momma Morton in Chicago
or Mary Poppins' Mrs. Banks.
Longshots:
Morales in A Chorus Line
Fantine in Les Miz
Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys

Jean Pierre is adorable!
Sure is :)

elmore-CONTINUED GOOD VIBES FOR THE MOVE!
Thanks for recommending BURN NOTICE! So far we have watched the first two episodes & enjoyed them very much.
-
Saturday morning I picked up my copy of Harry Potter before taking a walk in the park. I only had time to read 200 pages in the afternoon. I couldn't return to it until late Sunday evening.
I finished the book this morning. That is all I will say about it.
-
'night

Sherlock's paw is probably bigger than Jean-Pierre.

Re: Cindy Williams
or Mary Poppins' Mrs. Banks.
Well, clearly you haven't seen MP since Rebecca Luker's playing the role and it calls for some legit singing.
-
This is a tapestry of justice! I don't want to see Holly hunter. I want to see a repeat of the extremely crazy episode of THE CLOSER I just laughed my way through.
-
Here is one of the feral kitties at the church that got me into trouble a while back. We call her "Oh, Aren't You Cute" because, well, because she is so cute.
-
Well, clearly you haven't seen MP since Rebecca Luker's playing the role and it calls for some legit singing.
No I haven't
I guess I was thinking more of Glynnis Johns in the role.
-
Good Evening!
I ended up getting caught up in the CNN/YouTube Democratic Presidential Debate. Quite an interesting, informative and entertaining(!) two hours plus of TV. I really liked the format, and the creativity of some of the questioners was, well, creative. It will be interesting to see how the Republican one goes in September.
-
On a personal note, I didn't think that Anderson Cooper looked that hot tonight. However, John Edewards was appealing. ;D
-

LOL! I was just quoting this line to my DH at dinner!
I got home in time to see SAVING GRACE. Just heard Cowboy Troy on Grace's radio!

As DR elmore stated, there's no way that she would be right for Mrs. Banks in Mary Poppins. Just listen to the OCR. However, she could possibly be right for the maid or the "evil" Nanny, but that would all depend on her English accent.
The Longshots are definitely longshots. ;D
And there's really nothing in Legally Blonde either.
As for Mamma Mia!, there's a remote possibility that she could play Tanya or Rosie, but, again, those are very remote possibilities. The producers of Mamma Mia! are against stunt-casting. They prefer to hire "actors" rather than "names".
-
Now, there is "The Adult Women" in Spring Awakening. And it would be fun to see Cindy Williams in a corset... While a young schoolboy buries his face in her bosom. ;)

My first thought was Drowsy Chaperone. I don't see it being Curtains.

I don't see it being Curtains either. There's no way Debra Monk is leaving that show in the next six months.

What about the woman in Wicked that Rue McClanahan played? The school mistress, can't think of the characters name
-
Madame Morrible
-
How about Velma Von Tussle in Hairspray?
-
Whenever I'm asked what my fabulous life is like, I say it's much like "Ben-Hur" with a dollop of "Follies"...no, there's no delapidated theater about to come down, and there isn't a chariot race, but if could figure out a way to work them in, I'm certain I'd go that route.
And you just wouldn't believe HOW MANY people ask me about this.
I'm simply amazing.
ROTFLOL. DRRON, I'm so glad you're back!
-
My opinion, for what it's worth (which is absolutely nothing): Price is Right should retire with Bob Barker.
I suspect you have some company, Laura.
-
Meet my new neighbor -- Jean-Pierre. Eight weeks old. He lives across the street.
His owner is the 16-year-old girl, who bought him with the money she made selling tans at a tanning salon. In Arizona.
Jean-Pierre is adorable. I used to go to a hairdresser named Jean-Pierre. That wasn't his real name, but he really played up the French part, which was very good for business. "Ohoooo, I go to Jean-Pierre."
But I'm confused about the "selling tans" part. She promoted the tanning salon, maybe by showing off her own tan? Please explain, Laura.

Apparently she sells sessions in a tanning booth.

Hello!!
Ben's picture has prompted me to add 2 of ours from the HP& party Friday night
So it's his fault....(an Into The Woods reference )
-
and Harry Potter... you can't see the Vixter in this one since she is wearing her Invisibilty Cloak!!
;D

I also have a picture from dinner at John's Pizza
removable upon request..... ;D

and lastly..especially for DR's Laura and Sandra

DR Cillaliz - did you get my email this evening? And did you receive a snail-mail from me earlier this month? I'm not sure either address I have for you is correct.
-
anyone who wants rain please feel free to come take some of ours... it was pouring all day today
-
DR Vixmom - love the photos! Harry Potter looks like a young Keith Lockhart.

Tomorrow night I take the Vixter and 3 of her friends to see the

Yes, I got the snail mail, I believe I mentioned it online the day I got it. And I got the email too, I've been checking some of them out, sorry I didn't mention it. There are some B & Bs that don't look too bad. Sorry I forgot to acknowledge it
I've got to figure out whether I'm going to be able to go or not.
-
Loved the cartoon, btw, just in case you didn't see my post the day I mentioned it
-
They did a very nice job at this Barnes & Noble... I should have taken more pictures
they ahd teamed up with a local Art Camp and the kids had made hundreds of paper candles ehcih were hung from the ceiling on clear nylon thread gving the appearance of floating like the candles in the Great Hall at Hogwarts ... they had magicans and tattoos (lots of teenagers getting the Dark Mark!! LOL)
and face painting , wand making , a "potions" class, trivia contsts and about half the people were in costume
-
well I am falling asleep here at the keyboard so
VIBES to all what needs 'em
-
Loved the cartoon, btw, just in case you didn't see my post the day I mentioned it
Thought you'd like it. You probably received it and posted about it during the time Richard and I were Washington, DC. I suspect I missed a lot of posts then. Just glad to know it arrived and that I have correct email and snail mail addresses for you. Good luck with the lodging sites!
-

I really need to decide if I'm going to try to go. I really want to, but even with the lodging from the sites it's going to be an expensive trip. If I could be sure business would stay as busy as it is now, there would be no question, but it's only been 2 weeks, so who knows what will happen.
-
Well, I'm up 'way past my bedtime for a week night, but it's OK because I don't have to be at work until noon tomorrow. I'm teaching the July edition of grantseeking basics in the evening.
But I'm getting very sleepy...
-
So, guess where I was at Midnight on Saturday, July 21, 2007
I hope you enjoy the book BEn!
I am on the waiting list at the library to read it. I am #7. I am patient and actually that works out better for me by the middle of fall semester the dust would have settled a bit and I can do justice in reading it.
-
Fundraiser vibes for bk~~~~~~~~~
The Brain Vibes~~~~~~~~
-
Lease vibes for DR Elmore!
-
Good evening everyone!
Catching up on notes!
-
Had some chicken soup for dinner.
-
Am watching Zodiac right now.
-
This morning I was #96 on the waiting list for the Harry Potter audiobook from my library; tonight I'm #64. Still hope that I'll have it for the drive to WI on Sunday, but Richard's about to finish reading it so he may not want to listen right away.
-
'night!
-
Evening, all...
I'm just about to head down and finish up my laundry before packing and heading to bed. I have a 9:45 flight tomorrow morning, which should put me in NYC around 1:10. Keep your collective fingers and toes crossed!
We had a loverly time at the zoo and in the pool today, and yes...Chick-Fil-A was consumed and enjoyed. Huzzah! Mom took me and my brother and his lovely girlfriend out for a wonderful steak dinner, as well, as a kind of late 30th birthday dinner for me and an early 24th birthday dinner for him. Quite wonderful! Unfortunately, my dad had to fly out this morning for Omaha for business, so he was not able to join us in the festivities.
Several pictures have been taken over the last few days - mostly of the twins. I will post them when I'm able.
And now, I'm off...
-
Didja know that all Chick-Fil-A's are closed on Sundays so that the employees can go to church?
Hobby Lobby is like that also. They are not open on Sundays and close at 8 pm on weeknights.
-
Per earlier comments...
We do not have Chik Fil A in north Dakota...
-
Hooray for Cindy Williams!
-
I watched another SUPERMAN serial episode. Jimmy and Lois were saved from carbon monoide poisoning but Jimmy got guided to a bombing field and was at the mercy of planes dropping bombs.
-
vixmom - It's amazing. I'm actually one of the happiest people I know, but when people say smile for the camera, I just can't do it. :)
-
Naps are never wasted time....
What makes a home 1984?
I guess I should just look around a bit....oh....okay.
I was wondering the same thing...
-
Inability to smile on cue is one reason I could never be an actor.
Inability to act is another reason.
-
Re: botulism. One my favorite Far Sides was a bunch of dead people sprawled around a big table with the subtitle Babette's Feast, The Sequel: Babette's Botulism (I think it was a Far Side, anyway).
Re: Drew Carey. I never watched, either, but I did by complete accident catch a couple of his different April Fool's episodes when they ran in syndication. They were hysterical, and they had little "sticky notes" pointing out everything that was wrong.
Re: Cindy Williams and Drowsy. Maybe I imagined it, but didn't Drowsy post a closing notice for August? Did I make that up? I could have sworn someone posted something to that effect either here or on Preeo's listserve.
-

What's that line from "Singin' In the Rain"...
Triple Threat: Can't Act, Can't Sing, Can't Dance.
;D
-
Outside performances...
I have noat seen many for summer is rather short and outside theatre is rather scarce.
I do like the Melodrama they put on at Medora in the North Dakota Badlands.... The Melodrama was done near dusk and it is an amazing site as the sun sets and it plays on the rocks and different colors dance as darkness descends.
A number of years ago they did Sound of Music at Frostfire up near Walhalla, ND. BEautiful scenery and rolling hills and gorges in the Pembina River country.
-
And that line from GYPSY:
"You'll pardon me, But to have no talent Is not enough."
BTW, Jose and Jason, are you seeing GYPSY Wed. night?
-

This story includes the following quote
Pound for pound, he noted, the proportion of genitalia to animal is huge in squirrels. "And so once they show you who they are, you can't miss it. So I think that there's been one bona fide female. The others have been males."
-
I watched another MOONLIGHTING episode. In this one, K Callen's magician husband was killed doing a stunt, and she hired David and Maddie to protect her husband for coming after her from the grave. Pretty good mystery.
-
Ugh!
Another food recall. Time to check your canned beef products. :-\
YIkes!!
Whats next?

I hope all goes well with the employment crunch and many vibes!

And that line from GYPSY:

BTW, Jose and Jason, are you seeing GYPSY Wed. night?
Still TBA. -It looks like I'll be going Sunday night for closing, so... We'll see. I know Jason is supposed to work Legally Blonde that night, so... If anything, we'll probably see the matinee. -Unless I get called in for ACL.
-
I am all caught up!
-
I finished Harry Potter last night, and then I spent all day playing Super Mario 3 on the Nintendo that came in the mail today. Life is good!
-
I did manage to watch one more SUPERMAN chapter. In this one, LEx Luthor has managed to steal radium so he can forge synthetic kryptonite. Superman sinks into a stupor as the episode ends.
I have found it amazing how many plots for future SUPERMAN TV episodes were fashioned from this serial. This is at least the fourth event from the serial that wound up later as a TV episode.
-
THE CLOSER had a simply hysterilca episode tonight. I recorded it and will watch it again later in the week. What a howling good episode!
-
As for Holly Hunter's new series, I did like the actors very much, but I didn't find the case very involving, and the religious angles in the plot didn't make it any more fascinating for me.
I'll watch one more episode, but I am thinking this is a series that I'll be passing on after next week.
-
As I turned everything off, I noticed that the DVR was picking up last week's BURN NOTICE episode. I'll watch that tomorrow.
-
And I didn't get ANY mail at all today, much to my dismay and anger.
-
I recorded Saving Grace, but I'm not much into cop or angel dramas so don't know if I'm a good one to report on it
-
Didn't get to see THE CLOSER. Dammit.
-
Oh....I love the OBC album for ILLYA DARLING.....particularly side one, and I don't think I have played side two nearly as much.
And Orson makes me laugh on this record. I would guess I would have liked him in the show a lot. Just didn't like him in THE CLOSER.
You wouldn't want me to say I like him just to be polite, wouldya? I might be struck by lightning. (A Miriam Hopkins reference)
DR FJL....not having talent has NOT stopped many a performer that I have seen.
-
Cute doggie pics and sweet kitty pics. I love HHW.
-
Don't know if I mentioned this. Nadia's first day as my assistant went well. It means I've got to get my butt in gear and figure out how I'm going to do everything and to figure out the program etc. I'm having trouble sharing the calendar and other various and sundry thing. So time to call my computer guru tomorrow. I can play another 50 hours or call him and see what he can do
-
Well...I am indeed playing Al Lewis in the September PCPH production of Neil Simon's THE SUNSHINE BOYS.
The rest of the cast is not exactly who I expected, and I am not sure about the guy playing Willie.....I shall know more after the read thru on Thursday.
Tonight we rehearsed and rehearsed and rehearsed the Abduction Ballet from THE FANTASTICKS.....and I am very sore....even if they asked, I doubt that I could die again.
-

I have them done, but if anyone has seen any clever or memorable bits of business in either number, you might mention it.....I am always open to suggestions from people who KNOW!!!

Bernadette Peters and Orson Bean.
Somewhere in there is a revival of KNICKERBOCKER HOLIDAY just waiting to happen.

DRJOSE.....my friend Vickie is very excited.
I hope Ms. Lee knows how much her show has always meant to the people out here in the hinterlands putting on shows.....

NOW I am going to bed!!!
-
Just found out I am reviewing a documentary about Paul Bowles. I had no idea Isherwood named Sally after him.
-
Didn't get to see THE CLOSER. Dammit.
It comes on again in the early morning hours.
-
Congratulations on getting Al Lewis, DR JRand! You should have a blast doing this part. I hope your compatriot Willie can learn lines well and give you good back and forth responses.
-
Hi FiFiLePew!
-
And now, I'm off to bed.
Good night!

Sandra,
I had a Cherry Coke float today...
-
Pleasant dreams MattH!
-
Sandra, Does Laura drink Cherry Coke?
-
Sandra,
I had a Cherry Coke float today...
With what kind of ice cream? I usually use mint chocolate chip.
And my mom likes Diet Pepsi with lime. I just can't get her to change over to the Light Side.

Finished Zodiac. Am now nosing around the Internet whilst listening to the original television soundtrack of Evening Primrose.
-
Welcome thirteen GUESTS - last chance for shares.
-
115 am here in North Dakota and it is still 80 degrees!
I am off to go and lay on some cushions in front of the fan to grab a few zzzzzzs
Pleasant dreams to one and all...
Few more weeks and I will be back to my normal hours!
-
FJL, you are up late this evening....
-
What I really want to know from DR JRand56 is whether or not he is so put off by Orson that he refuses to take Bean-O.
-
What else I want to know is who all those assordid folks were in that photo posted by vixmom.
I guessed the vixter and DR JSPiano and I recognized (barely) skinny Jason. Did I miss a lineup ID?
-
I got my "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" in today's mail.
I put it -- still inside its sealed mailing box -- on the table behind my desk.
One of my co-workers exclaimed, "Oh! You've got the new 'Harry Potter'!
"How is it? Did someone die? Was it the wizard?"
I glared at her and said, "It 'just' arrived."
"It's still in its box," I continued.
"I haven't opened it."
She looked at me expectantly.
"I haven't had time to read it."
"Oh!" she said. "It's been out since Saturday!"
I double-glared at her.
"And yet my copy arrived not five minutes ago. Do the math."
-
Lord, but I'm being tested in my olden days!
-
Hello DR RLP
Just returned for the Harry Potter movie - now to finish Book 7.
At least I've posted today!
-
Liz Callaway just started singing "My Heart Is So Full of You" on the digital showtunes music channel.
Just had to share. :)
-
I still get goosebumps when I hear Liz sing this song! I LOVE IT!! ;D
