...And I did read today's posts, but, frankly, I'm a bit braid dead right now to remember everything I should be responding and/or commenting. *I was even going to meet up with some friends at Splash tonight, but I'm even a bit too tired for that.
HIDING IN THE MAIL BASKET - my new novel about hiding and baskets
Who's the cutie in the middle?
Wasn'r FILEMOT a musical by Jones and Schmidt?
TOTD: movies -

I still love the score of Kismet.

Thanks, DR Jose.DR Ginny, I'm happy things went as wll as they did for you. I hope Richard is more successful than I as executor: I feel, as I did 25 years ago, that 500 miles from the scene of the crime is not particularly easy in expediting things: hence this empty-the-house issue. I do think Richard will have it easier unless David or John has a Macbeth streak to undermine, suppress and supplant. I swear, I never thought our sibling rivalry as children was going to blossom into such open hostility as adults or that one of my brothers would openly show such dislike and resentment of me. I've been proud and affectionate to both of them my entire adult life. However, I must admit, Macbeth behaved the same way to me in 1994 when our mother died: neither he nor Lady M invited me to their wedding. I should have been wiser then and cut the ass out of my life for good.
DR Elmore and my DH Richard now have something else in common - the position of executor. They can commisserate in a couple of weeks.
Because Mom loved Rex Harrison and Maureen O'Hara, I got to sit through The Foxes of Harrow - a bit intense for a ten year old. I'll probably not get to re-visit it because the PC crowd has kept it from being released on Video. (says IMDB).
Yep! I knew it! MattH is a "jazz baby"!
I believe today is the birthday of the Fat Conductor of Limited Talent and Limitless Ego.
And the word of the day is: FILEMOT!
From DR Laura:
I don't know why anyone would want to be the executor of an estate.
Great photos of the Brain.
Bruce you should make that your new avatar.

I got it.
But how many others did? ;D
I got it.
But how many others did? ;D I did...I have the album! :D
You have Philemon (hint, hint)?!?!
I've stolen some "Brain" photos from stage manager Rachel. Here are our speedo boys Steve and Joe:

Just had a tasty dinner.... a good friend of mine who works in a restaurant was experimenting with some new dishes and entrees. She made me two very small servings of stuffed salmon filets. They were stuffed with spinach and a ricotta style cheese. I also made a small potato to go with them. I will give her good marks on this effort. The filet was moist with a generous amount of spinach.
Needless to say, I am stuffed :)
George, are you still walking?
I got it.
But how many others did? ;D
So, I have to give you a dollar to find out who the cutie is in the picture?
...I sometimes will peek into the basement which is filled(?) with uprights. I have no idea how they get them all down there - and out of there too.
DR Laura - lovely! But...no picture of DR Kerry?
And The Song of The Day is: AUTUMN LEAVES
I got it.Don't we all.! Never underestimate us DR Michael..
But how many others did? ;D I did...I have the album! :D
You have Philemon (hint, hint)?!?!I guess you're not interested in the Cd copy then.
Just read an interview with several of the stars at TV GUIDE-online, and the new season sounds so great. Can't wait to get back involved with the Walker family.

Hey everyone. Caught up on the notes and today's postings, probably can rule out catching up on posts, though. Good to hear the "Brain" is doing well. It's tech week for Annie, Get Your Gun this week. I guess it's a good show, there's been so much drama off stage that it's really brought the creative teams spirits down and has reduced most of us to "let's just get this over with" attitudes. I'll be happy when the show is up and running. This Saturday are auditions for A Christmas Carol this will be my second year of doing this version (Menkin/Ahrens) and I really enjoy it.
The weather is finally beginning to cool off, which is odd for ths time of year in the SF Bay Area. I'm sure in a week of so we'll experience a form of Indian Summer and it will be warm again. Get on with Fall already.....
I got it.
But how many others did? ;D I did...I have the album! :D
But where are their Speedos??
;)
Where I noticed that the front window - my bedroom window is broken. Thankfully, it's a double-pane one, and only the outer pane is broken, but still... I called the building's handyman, and he said he had noticed that a few days ago - Oh!?!? - and that he had already put in the request for the repair. So, hopefully, that will be taken care of by the end of the week.
Cilla I also look like Liza ;D
Sorry about the work problems, best of luck with that. Maybe you can hire a temp to train the one you have.
I probably went to other movies before this one, but the first movie I remember seeing in a theater was THE WIZARD OF OZ (No, derBrucer, this was not 1939).
This was probably 55 or 56, so I assume it was a re-release, since this was before it was ever shown on TV. My sister and I went to the little Proctor Theatre, just down the street from where we lived. We went to see it on a Saturday. It was extremely cold that day, and the line wound clear around the block. Just as we got to the box office, the SOLD OUT sign went up. I remember that we went back the next day, stood in another long line, and almost didn't get in again. Fortunately (or unfortunaely) Mr. Spencer, who ran the theater, knew that my sister and I had been turned away the day before; so he took us in and seated us on the steps of the stage to watch the movie. This was really great, until the first big close up of Margaret Hamilton in green make-up screaming at Dorothy. I started crying and screaming. I have no idea if we stayed for the rest of the movies or not.

DR TCB - He is just a blogger that I follow. From the Chicago area.
My latest CD purcchaes to arrive.
DRs Kerry and JRand will know them:
The Best of Patience and Prudence
The Fontane Sisters.
I love the 1950s
It was so exciting to me, and I still remember that The Riffs made their first entrance coming down the aisles of the theater singing The Riff Song. Apparently that left a bigger impression than Billy Bigelow falling on his knife.
...Ginny, your upcoming trip will be good for you & Richard, & very much needed.
This morning DR Kerry and I went for a walk, and this is what we saw:

Someone trying to get out?
;D I suppose being a year older than you at the time I saw the movie is a good exclamation as to why I didn't scream or cry. I remember I wasn't nearly as thrilled with the movie as every one around me. I'm sure I had nightmares that night, and for years later thanks to the flying monkeys. Maybe they are the reason I have never been keen about monkeys.
Margaret Hamilton in green make-up wasn't half as scary as the witch in SNOW WHITE!
I remember clearly two movies as a very small child; I couldn't have been more than 4 or 5, but I'm not sure which came first.
JOHNNY GUITAR (could this have been the first stirrings on my gay gene?) I remember my mother with me seeing this is Monroe, NC, a small city about 20 miles from my hometown.
TARGET EARTH which I remember scared the life out of me. I was clinging to my brother as the robot advanced on the heroes on the rooftop at the end. I saw this is a movie theater my uncle owned (but didn't manage).
Oh monkey, monkey, monkey, you broke my heart in two....
Jose, thank you for the beautiful photo of NY.
We watched the food channel last night. I kept laughing at the OVERSIZED food items. Have you ever eaten one of those BIG food items where if you finish it all you get it free? I wouldn’t be surprised if you have.
We also watched most of the diner episode which was very interesting. Keith loves diners.
Vibes of stick-to-it-iveness to Cillaliz.
TOD: I was sometimes dropped off at the Culver or Meralta theatres with my friend Jan.
The Thong and the Ivy....isn't that an old English folk song?
For Jane:
She was if you were less than a foot away from the huge screen when you saw her.
;D
DR Cillaliz - sounds like you'll be ready for a getaway next week, too.
The Thong and the Ivy....isn't that an old English folk song?Used by ALW in Woman in White for the wedding scene.
It's always terrifying when a Robot loses a thong in the ivy.
DR CILLALIZ - :) YOU GO GURL!!! <SNAP>
Thanks Jose and Jane.....lots better than talking about poop, no? Although that reminds me I do need to check the litter box tonight
;D Hopefully Boo & Callie will be settled back into their normal routine by tomorrow.
And speaking, or not speaking, of poo......Keith switched Sherlock's food & says Sherlock's poo has never looked so good.
LOL Cilla. Keith said to say I asked. Hey poo is important business, they can't tell us if there is a problem so we gotta monitor the stuff.
I bet Callie will feel better when her butt isn't so sore any more.
I find it incredibly odd that since I've been here we have not had one "official" haineshisway.com get-together. Not with Ben, not with Rodzinski, not even with FJL. It's a little wacky to me, but what do I know.
We just heard Bryan received another secondary application, from OHS (Oregon Health & Science University). :) We are now up to 21 out of 22 received. How many returned I don't know.
It's called "the rehearsal process".
It's called "the rehearsal process".
DR Jane, that would sure be nice if Bryan got OHS!
DR Jeanne, I also used to get dropped off at the movies when I was a tiny kid...my mom would drop of myself, my friends Theresa and Shannon, and sometimes my little brother at the Craterian Theatre downtown. I remember seeing Dumbo, Bambi, That Darn Cat, all the Kurt Russell Disney flicks, Monkey's Uncle, Snow White and The Incredible Journey (the first movie I can remember crying at).
This was in the early 70s. Ten years later, around 1983 the theater stopped showing first run movies and kids movies and moved on to XXX films. I saw Wanda Whips Wallstreet at the Craterian in 1983 with my friends Steve and Marcie.
That's the one...although, I've never listened to it.
What I want to know (and I keep forgetting to look ::)) is when each new and returning show has its first new episode.
From my viewpoint there have been plenty of gatherings, you don't need official ones.
