Well, you've read the notes, the notes had verisimilitude, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - frankly they're having a little attitude about the verisimilitude.
-
And the word of the day is: PUGNACIOUS!
-
My favorite $10 word is callipygian.
-
I'm on my second listening of The Brain From Planet X.

I'm listening to my iPod and printing. I think I'm down to the last forty orders or so, but I'm hoping the morning will bring more and more and more.

Last night we were presented evidence of Joshie's callipygian splendor. ;)

SAN FRANCISCO — Microsoft on Thursday plans to introduce a Web-based service for driving directions that incorporates complex software models to help users avoid traffic jams.

How very prescient of me! I used the word "verisimilitude" in reviewing bk's latest novel at Amazon. And yes, it is a b*tch to type!

I have been trying to think of other means of publicizing Evening Primrose. I'm sure when it's released and people start writing about it on the Internet, that will spur other people to order it. If there are any copies left at that point.

WOW! My walk with Zach this morning was very noir-ish. Very streetlamp through the dark, thick fog-ish.

the one I remember from grammer school was one a couisin taught me:antidisestablishmentarianism-which i think had something to do with, if you were a 19th cent englishman, your position on whether the Anglican church should remain official, or 'established'Or maybe it means someting else-I am sans access to Websters

Good morning, all! I have a huge vocabulary and at this moment I can't think of a single word! I need to go back and reread my notes on BABES and LADY OF THE S.LIPPER. All I can think of at the moment are cacophonous and steatopygian.
So, today I have some writing on critical notes and a trip to NYPL at 11 to check on 1913 Chicago newspapers. After that, Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn have a play date with me.
Last night I watched TOP CHEF, and the fireworks have finally begun, which is all for the good.

Someone on one of the message boards is reporting that into act II of Curtains last night, the sound system went out. The company decided to finish the show acoustically, to great success, apparently. :)

Thursday morning greetings! Today's a short day for me - I'm leaving at 1pm to go home and get ready for my book group meeting at our house tonight. Our book is The Portable Dorothy Parker, so I must prepare the
Algonquin Round Poinciana Oval Table.

Dr Ben, thanks for the antidis def; relieved I wasnt off the mark...And is that Will Chase in the SPIDERWOMAN photo? I saw him as the replacement hero(twice) in the FULL MONTY on Bway. He was most excellant.

Yes! Will Chase, Natascia Diaz, & Hunter Foster.

Good morning!
Should be another beautiful day here (though supposedly clouds are moving in and rain is imminent tonight and tomorrow). Highs in the 70s once again.

I got up early, had my oatmeal (never let DR Ben think he hasn't been instrumental in my adding morning oatmeal to my diet; many thanks), and took my car in to get its annual inspection.
Passed with flying colors, no problems at all, and I emerged about 35 minutes later $30 poorer but with another chore taken care of for another year.
-
When I got home, I decided I'd watch another MR. WONG mystery. This one was THE FATAL HOUR, and it was a fun mystery, made even more so since I was able to deduce the murderer before the revelation. This movie had a high body count!
Also, it looked quite good for a Monogram movie with nothing done to clean it up for DVD. However, at the first reel change, obviously the second reel was badly damaged because the DVD company had to use what looked like a 16mm dupe copy since it was so washed out, overly contrasted, and grainy/soft. At the next reel change, things went back to normal for the rest of the film.
-
The UPS delivery man has just left a package on my side porch, but I'll go down later to see what review copy that is. Hopefully, it won't be any more MTV or BET reality shows. I've had more than my fill of them for awhile.
I'm also expecting the Warner musical box in the mail today, and will watch DEEP IN MY HEART this afternoon if it does arrive.

OK, you theatre-savvy DRs! What does it mean when someone says that an actor is "indicating"?
And what exactly are acting "beats"?
Thanks!

DR Ginny, thanks for sending this. I passed it on to my friends at Rodgers & Hammerstein, in case they haven't seen it.
-
"Beats" are deliberate pauses added for emphasis. Sometimes the script specifies where a "beat" should be taken. At other times, it's an actor's prerogative where to insert one or more of them.
-
DR Ginny, thanks for sending this. I passed it on to my friends at Rodgers & Hammerstein, in case they haven't seen it.
DR Elmore - I heard about it on WMUB (Miami's NPR station) this morning on my way to work. Couldn't find anything on their website.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm learning that the Network TV choices at 10:00am(EST) are quite lacking here in NYC. CBS: "Guiding Light", NBC: The "new" fourth hour of "The Today Show" with Kathie Lee Gifford, ABC: "Rachel Ray"... Hmm...
Although, Kathie Lee did "announce" that she and her fourth hour co-host will be try to attend a Broadway show every Wednesday so that they can talk about it on Thursday. They saw Gypsy last night. Thankfully, they weren't at Sunday in the Park with George. ;)
-
"Indicating" usually means that the actor is "projecting" their subtext. Basically, instead "her lips said, "No," but her eyes said "Yes.", it would be a case of "her lips said, "No," but her eyes said "Yes,", but from the way she said "No" I could already tell she was really saying "Yes". It also applies to when an actor through his/her acting starts hinting at an upcoming event in the plot, instead of living in that "present" moment. In other words, the actor has already posted a "Spoiler Alert" on his forehead. ;)
-
Interesting! Thanks, DRs Matt H. and JoseSPiano! :)
-
TCB .... your cookies are still in my cupboard!!!
That's not what I heard about where DR TCB's "cookies" have been! :o
-
Another example of "indicating" would be if an actor has to be drunk in a scene, he or she does obvious "drunk" things, like slurring words or moving erratically, etc. Now, I'm not saying that an actor playing drunk can't use those moves but if that's all they do and it's pretty clear they are not remotely drunk but just "acting it" for the moment, that's, in my opinion, indicating.
Although technique is a great help to an actor, I do think that what you're doing on stage also should be based in some kind of truth to be believable. You don't have to think of your dog dying every time you have to cry but the sadness you have to convey can be grounded and real (either with technique or memory) and it's much more effective than just fake sobbing into your hands so the audience doesn't see that you can't produce a tear to save your life.

DR MBarnum, your vocabulary is entirely from the Dick and Jane school of American speech! However, your awareness of your boundaries should be a lesson to us all.
-
You know, I always heard that most students from a certain generation (mine) had Dick and Jane readers in first grade, but my school used Alice and Jerry rather than Dick and Jane.
Did anyone else here have Alice and Jerry as their introduction to reading? I've never met another person apart from my town school friends who had Alice and Jerry.
-
I just realized I can't go to the NYPL today! The rare book room doesn't open untill 1 pm so I can't look at scripts till then. I'll do it tomorrow. Back to the critical report.

We had Adam and Steve.
Well, it was a progressive school! ;)
Nope...plain old Dick & Jane for us in southern CA.

Another definition of "beat" deals with the script and your preparation as an actor. Breaking a scene into "beats" is a standard exercise in acting classes. A beat in a scene is usually a point where something is happening or being discussed. The beat changes when the action or discussion changes to something else. For example (a crude example but nontheless an example), if you're talking to someone about getting into law school that's a scene beat. If your mother comes into the room and tells you that your grandmother died and you have to prepare for her funeral, the beat has changed to something completely different. It's all intertwined with objectives, what the characters are talking about, etc. Beats can change quickly throughout a scene, depending on the dialouge and what the actors have decided they want to get from the scene. It's all very fluid.
And you thought acting was easy. All ya hadda do was get up on stage and learn your lines. No, way, Jose (or Singdaw or Ron). You gotta work to make it believable ;)
And thus endeth your class on Acting 101

Perhaps MattH can help with the character names, but did you ever see the hilarious Reno 911 where the gay policeman was attempting to do a sting with prostitutes and had two women in a hotel room, trying to get them to engage in an unseemly act. At one point he said, "No, honey, you're indicating." It was hilarious.

Wow, DR Ben, looking at your first link really brought back memories. That was indeed the basal reading series my elementary school used. How well I remember SINGING WHEELS, ENGINE WHISTLES, and RUNAWAY HOME in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades!
What a trip down memory lane!

And now I'm REALLY going!

Thank you, DR Ben. At least I know I haven't been hallucinating their names all these years.
I was an "Alice and Jerry"-trained first-grader. Alice, Jerry AND JIP!
My mom still has both books we used in that class.
One curiousity for me, though, is that I vividly recall the "other" first-grade class (Johnston Elementary School had TWO -- count 'em 2 -- first-grade classes!) had the Dick and Jane books.
See Jip run.
Look, Alice, look.
Run, Jip, run.

[size=8]'BIGGEST LOSER' SPOILER[/size]
umptysquattyplow shredow who'sthecownowbrownsow? Dumdidumdi
dumberthandumb whyisshriekplowsuckinghis thumb? Tuesday night's "Biggest Loser" was the last regular show in this season's competition. The live finale airs next week and it features something unique in the show's history.
First and foremost, and Jillian gets another black mark against her earlier sh*t f*t about how women cannot compete with the men: The top two finalists are women. That's right. Ali and Kelley are in the finals. Below the yellow line this week were Roger (who lost 15 pounds, more than anyone at the weigh-in) and Mark (who lost 13 pounds). The guys' body fat percentages were lower than the women's, both of whom posted some incredible numbers themselves. Ali lost 11 pounds and Kelley lost 12 (or 13).
The "rub" here is that Mark was sure he would be in the final three because he has been cultivating the friendship of both girls and he had assurances they'd keep him if it came to this.
BUT.. the tables were turned: Allison announced that the third member of the final three would be decided by the public and not Ali and Kelley. Suddenly, the joy of Ali and Kelley (and Jillian) was diminished at the prospect of the public voting for Roger rather than Mark, whom the girls prefer. They're no fools. Mark has very little weight left to lose. He's currently at 169...down from 280-plus. Roger has lost 145 pounds, more than any previous contestant. He can still drop another 50-80 pounds to maximize his potential. Mark can't drop that kind of weight. If Roger were in the final three, the girls would probably "place" and "show".
Astoundingly, at that weigh-in Ali had a higher overall bodyfat percentage loss figure than anyone in the competition. She could still lose another 15-20 pounds, although that will come in the toning/cutting portion of her training. She's lost 99 pounds since the competition began. Roger would be a bigger risk to keep around for the ladies. Kelley, however, is a very dark horse. She was the heaviest woman in the competition and she has lost 93 pounds. Not one pound of it was easy for her and she has sweated each weigh-in of the competition. As much as she has lost, she could probably lose another 60 pounds. And THAT could make her the big winner.
All of that said, the "winner" -- or the third member of the final 3 -- will be announced during the first five minutes of the live finale.
Now...what isn't apparent here is that the time between the final weigh-in to determine the final three and the finale of the show is somewhere between 4 and 6 months. That means that all of them will be on their own to put finishes on their hard work/achievements. Mark and Ali will tone and cut. Roger and Kelley will be dropping as much poundage as they can. Neither Roger nor Mark will know which of them will compete for the big prize until the finale.
The show sends all the finalists home, outfits them with home exercise equipment (stationery bikes and treadmills) and gets them gym memberships. Mark won the final challenge and had an extra advantage of having all his meals provided to him by "The Biggest Loser" during this training period. He also won $10,000 for his efforts. The others will have had to put their "learning" to the test and avoid the temptation of eating the wrong things or the wrong quantities.

All orders printed. Interesting to add them all up. So, now we just have to move the rest of them. I was hoping The Sondheim Review might send out an eblast, but I'd say they're not going to do it. Which means I may have to wait until the magazine appears in a couple of months for those Sondheads to even be aware of it.

That's too bad, bk. I wonder if I could "reply all" to one of their past messages, and if that would reach their distribution list, the way CASTRECL works, or if it is "protected."

DRs Jose, George and Jane. RE: my search.
I did it the same way DR jose did his. I did the advanced search at the bottom (after you hit search). I did one word. But i did it for all users. But then i narrowed it down to just DR Jose. And it showed nothing for both.
I've used that feature a number of times and it has always worked for me before.
Btw, the funny thing is i sort of screwed up the vermicelli (if that is even possible0. I was cooking at my sister's house. And i had already made a whole other meal (tuna casserole for my dad and niece). And i didn't want to dirty any more pots. So instead of putting the vermicelli in hot water in a pot. I did it in the wok. And it just didn't make it soft enough. It did get soft in the end. But i didn't like how the meal turned out. :(
At least little megan was thrilled with her tuna casserole and the banana bread i brought her from the freezer.

Damn Yankees in New York this Summer (http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-News-Blog/Todays-News/Krakowski-Sean-Hayes/800037200)
While I don't deny that Sean Hayes has talent (I think he was quite funny in the early seasons of Will and Grace before he and the others devolved into caricature and bad writing) and I will give him the benefit of the doubt but I have to say that the idea of him playing Applegate in this summer's revival of Damn Yankees (even with the wonderful Jane Krakowski as Lola) makes me more than a bit scared.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES has its last 2 episodes (before the new one this sunday). I think i will record them just to ff and review (since i can't remember everything that happened).
I am quite disappointed that LOST is not on. I really really wanted to see the extended show for the Jin/Sun episode.

Really? In your mind it could be anybody? Even David Archuleta, the kid every teeny-boppin' girl in the country is voting for? That surprises me.
I'd be willing to bet it's Carly going home tonight. Syesha is another possibility, but I'm hoping she can hold out at least a while longer.

Back from Ye Olde Post Office. They say I can do all this postal stuff online for first class packages, but last night it sure seemed like the only thing you could do online was priority, which, of course, doesn't work. I'm going to call their 800 number and have them walk me through it.

When I logged on to paypal this morning my account didn't come up - instead I got a page saying they were doing some kind of security check and I had to answer some questions - I did, and the account is back, but that stuff scares me and I'm on hold with them trying to find out what the HELL that was all about. Apparently, what the woman is telling me is that someone from the fraud center flagged the account for me to verify information. I want to know why they would do that all of a sudden. And to make sure the account security wasn't somehow breached.

Brett...her reference to "David or David Cook" was about "David Archuleta" and the other David.
Personally, I don't want to see Carly go yet. I find it incredible that both she and Syesha are being mentioned and that nowhere do I hear the name Kristy Lee! :)

The usps, as ever, is no help. Can't do online first class shipping. So, I remembered at my other label we had a Pitney Bowes machine, so I called them and set up an account and now shipping will be a breeze. The machine is free for two months, then a litte under twenty bucks a month, and it prints out exact postage plus, if you hook it to your computer and use the usps setup assistant, it will do delivery confirmation as well. Doing that online saves about fifty cents from the delivery confirmation if you do that at the post office itself. So, the machine will be here in five days, and we'll be good to go. I'm having people come next week to do all the addressing of the boxes. Of course, I have to GET the boxes first.

Yes, I knew about SCRUBS going to ABC. They wanted it this season, but NBC decided to hang on. ABC produces the show, just like CBS/Paramount produces MEDIUM and said they were going to snap up MEDIUM if NBC had been stupid enough to let it go.

Frankly, I think SCRUBS ran out of plot a season or so ago.

I really did hit the mother lode of DVDs today.
I meantioned earlier that I got the Paramount review copy of HOW SHE MOVE. However, I can't start on it tomorrow as I had planned. I got also in the mail today the screeners of 5 Criterion discs as well as THE GOLDEN COMPASS. The UPS man CAME BACK and brought with him three more review copies: two volumes of THE BIG GAY SKETCH COMEDY SHOW (season 1 and season 2 in separate cases) as well as another BET show, this one a gospel music special with Shirley Caesar.
Then, I got two boxes of Amazon orders (BARON MUNCHAUSEN on Blu-ray and A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE which they had on sale very cheaply - alas, not Blu-ray and the musicalx box which I was talking about earlier.)
So, I'm set for awhile in terms of viewing for pleasure and also for work.

A GOLDEN AGE FOR CABLE TV DRAMAS
The Emmy race for best series heats up with "Mad Men," "Dexter" and "Tudors" scoring some early attention.
…
No non-HBO cable network has ever broken into this category. So, can AMC ("Mad Men"), Showtime ("Dexter," "The Tudors"), FX ("Damages," "The Riches") or TNT ("The Closer," "Saving Grace") prevail at last?

DEXTER has had a chance before this year to make it into the top 5 and didn't, so I'm not hopeful of its chances. Ditto TNT's entries no matter how deserving.
Of those mentioned, I think MAD MEN has the best shot. It seems universally adored, but there's no '24' this year, GREY'S ANATOMY has had a mediocre season, too, though it might sneak in just from habit. HEROES, which made the cut last year, probably won't make it this year.
So, I'm guessing LOST, MAD MEN, HOUSE, DAMAGES, and GREY'S ANATOMY.

OK, so I'll admit it--I bought a CD from that Australian eBay guy who is the bane of CASTRECL. For years I've wanted to hear OLC of "Ambassador," so I got it from him--it's obviously never going to get an authorized release, so I justify it that way. The score, while old-fashioned, is quite enjoyable. Does anybody know who played the second female lead? She almost sounds like Phyllis Diller, but something tells me Phyl didn't do this one. ;)

"Indicating" usually means that the actor is "projecting" their subtext. Basically, instead "her lips said, "No," but her eyes said "Yes.", it would be a case of "her lips said, "No," but her eyes said "Yes,", but from the way she said "No" I could already tell she was really saying "Yes". It also applies to when an actor through his/her acting starts hinting at an upcoming event in the plot, instead of living in that "present" moment. In other words, the actor has already posted a "Spoiler Alert" on his forehead. ;)
Correct-o! I still prefer to call it telegraphing when I am directing a show. Just about every actor who has ever worked for me has gotten that note, at least, once. It is an easy trap to fall in to for even the most professional actors.

Damn Yankees in New York this Summer (http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-News-Blog/Todays-News/Krakowski-Sean-Hayes/800037200)
While I don't deny that Sean Hayes has talent (I think he was quite funny in the early seasons of Will and Grace before he and the others devolved into caricature and bad writing) and I will give him the benefit of the doubt but I have to say that the idea of him playing Applegate in this summer's revival of Damn Yankees (even with the wonderful Jane Krakowski as Lola) makes me more than a bit scared.
I think Sean Hayes has enough talent to pull off the role. I think he would be a big improvement over Jerry Lewis. However, I still think they should have hired me.

DAD ARRESTED AFTER DISPUTE OVER WHICH GANG RIGHT FOR BABY
'''
When officers questioned the woman, they learned that the two had been together for four years and were the parents of a child.
When police asked the woman why the two had separated, she said they have "different ideas about how the baby should be raised," according to a police report.
When officer Daniel Swift asked the woman what she meant by that, she said that the two belong to different street gangs.

That is a very frightening clip!

DR GINNY - I read THE PORTABLE DOROTHY PARKER many many years ago, there are stories of great humor and stories that can move you to tears....including one about an adopted boy.....don't remember the details...but wow!
I'm quite fond of Miss Parker's stories and poems. And her great theatre and book reviews.
-
I don't know what you mean by that. I'm not acting out or behaving badly.
I've not stated anything that has not been obvious to anyone with reading comprehension. 8)
There was a tone of something beyond snarky in them, a je ne sais quoi edge, perhaps.

Re-reading it, I guess it looks like I'm snarking Bretty, but I was actually not intending it that way at all.
He's received some rather blatant come-ons, IMO, in this forum. Thus, my remarks about the used napkin or partially eaten pork chops being potential "collectibles".
And the watermelon seed, too.

So I'm done with THE CLOSER for a little while, until after our spots go through testing. So I've picked up a job for TLC, plus finishing the Johnny Mercer demo. Sadly (for me), the producer in LA will take it from here. It will be a great thing for the film and for the Mercer Society. And I guess on the plus side, I won't have to make the decision whether to give up THE CLOSER to work on it. And I will make more $ working on THE CLOSER. So, I'm not terribly disappointed, but still, a little bit.

Really? In your mind it could be anybody? Even David Archuleta, the kid every teeny-boppin' girl in the country is voting for? That surprises me.
I'd be willing to bet it's Carly going home tonight. Syesha is another possibility, but I'm hoping she can hold out at least a while longer.
As DR RonP said, if you read my post again i said it could be anybody BUT LITTLE DAVID (meaning David A) or DAVID COOK.
I think my preference to go would be kristy or Syesha. Just don't care for them.
-
Anyway...I always thought women "stoop" rather than bend down or squat.
"She Stoops to Conquer", for instance.
DearReaderLaura stooped to snap that shot!
In NYC, I can imagine it gets a bit old when saying, "She stooped on the Stoop to pick up the paper." Or worse, "She stopped on the Stoop where she stooped to pick up the paper."

I'm leaving now. My friend Margo is visiting her sister in Minneapolis and I said that I'd feed her cats. She said that I need to get some dry cat food (she left me some money) and that I should get the Iams in the orange bag. I went to Fred Meyer today at lunch time to look for some...AND THEY'RE ALL IN ORANGE BAGS!! :o Well, most are. I now need to go to her house, find out which orange bag (the different flavors have different colors on the label of the orange bags) and then go back. :P But she's paying me a little bit, so that helps.

re: IDOL
Is there any way in the world these contestants don't know their rankings? Surely Sysha, KLC, Jason and Brooke know right now that they won't be the winner. Or is that only obvious to me?
I don't know if they do or not. BUt it's not always obvious who will stay or who will go.
Right now i would say one of the Davids will win. But the thing is once someone is eliminated their votes often go to another contestant. So it's not always obvious.
For instance one of the guys who we think will win/do well could have a bad week and go.
You never truly know for sure. Kristy seemed dead 3 weeks ago. And now for some reason she seems popular.
-
Until later! ;D

Tonight's din-din:
French Onion Soup, a la Julia.

There's enough soup for a second round on Saturday, when I get off work very late (Torchwood will have to be recorded - again). No ideas yet on the go-with.

It's 'cause she's real purty, and also 'cause she's got a great personality and takes criticism very well and doesn't take herself seriously.
And mostly, it's because she's stunningly, classically beautiful, IMO, and folks are beginning to realize it.
It helps that she has good voice, but it doesn't help when she's off pitch or when she closes her eyes while she sings.
I hope she can act.

RE: DEXTER.
I'm curious when SEASON 2 started. It started here this past monday (and repeated tonight) on the movie network.
I'm not sure how many more episodes there are on CBS. But my sis said she'd record season 2 for me. That guy is still growing on me! :)
-
I have been trying to think of other means of publicizing Evening Primrose. I'm sure when it's released and people start writing about it on the Internet, that will spur other people to order it. If there are any copies left at that point.

Some of us here at HHW were prescient enough to order more than one copy of EP. If you want a copy, ya better START KISSING UP!

See i don't find that she has a great personality at all. I think Brooke has a great personality. And for that reason i can see why people like her. I guess i jsut don't get why kristy was not popular (in the bottom when there were a lot of contestants). Then she sang that America song, and now she is popular. It just seems odd to me.

I was hoping natalie would win. But actually something quite interesting happened. Sharon got off first (she had said her back was sore). Ryan (who i thought would fall in 5 minutes) actually lasted 3 hours. And he, sheila, and nat made a deal for sheila to win. This is interesting because now sheila will not be able to compete in the next hoh. They all made a deal that sheila would nominate adam and sharon (hey didn't sheila say she would not nominate him? :) ). Anyhow, she did. But the thing i'm wondering is whether she really wants natalie out. It's confusing since they are all telling each other different things. One scenario has ryan winning pov, taking off adam and then they vote out nat. It should be interesting. I'm curious what sheila will do. I would hope she would vote out sharon. But we'll see.

Damn Yankees in New York this Summer (http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-News-Blog/Todays-News/Krakowski-Sean-Hayes/800037200)
While I don't deny that Sean Hayes has talent (I think he was quite funny in the early seasons of Will and Grace before he and the others devolved into caricature and bad writing) and I will give him the benefit of the doubt but I have to say that the idea of him playing Applegate in this summer's revival of Damn Yankees (even with the wonderful Jane Krakowski as Lola) makes me more than a bit scared.
You'd rather Applegate be played by - dare I say it - Debra Messing?

I've had a very full night of viewing, and thanks to the DVR and its ability to record and be watched while still recording, I got my entire line-up of shows watched tonight spilling over only 10 minutes after 11.
-
I watched KISMET this evening before prime time started. Looks nice and has great sound, but it wasn't quite as razor sharp as I was hoping. Yes, better than the laserdisc and better than the DVD-R I reocrded off TCM, but still not the tip-top in sDVD transfers.
I think this is the first time watching KISMET that I realized how few close-ups Minnelli used in filming this movie. Very, very few.
-
MY NAME IS EARL had an average episode tonight. A couple of funny moments with the flea-brained Randy, but not at its peak.
-
30 ROCK had a very funny SURVIVOR parody, and the second half of the episode really caught fire for me.
-
THE OFFICE was the show that had me in hysterics, though. Very funny, painfully funny (as in laughing through awkwardness and pain which is the foundation of this show).
I just love these characters, but I'll be glad to see more of the other office regulars hopefully next week.
-
CSI had a not very compelling episode tonight. Sad story of the death of a child, but the unraveling of the mystery couldn't have been more rudimentary. The show did set up an obvious story arc for Catherine in the coming weeks.
-
I loved ELI STONE tonight,
and what a shocking ending!

And speaking of shocks, I certainly didn't see THAT elimination coming on IDOL. Couldn't have been more surprised!

POSSIBLE SPOILER AND A DEFINITE CRITIQUE AHEAD
I liked it a lot more last summer. I know that Ms. LuPone has been fighting a cold the past couple of days - and it seemed like she was still dealing with "something" tonight - but her performance has seemed to settle in a little too much at this point. It also seems that a few more "compromises" have been made in deference to her - and Mr. Laurents "whims". I noticed a couple of small dialog cuts here and there, and there's even one crucial exchange between Herbie and Louise that's been changed for this run. However, "Hold your hats and Hallelujah..." has been reinstated. Most off-putting to me was the new final tableau/image/pose; it has to be one of the most self-indulgent bits of staging I have ever seen - it just made no sense to me. I still like this production - or at least this version of it - but some of the new bits of business just seem to "indicate" and "foreshadow" a bit too much now. There also seems to be a lot of "cuteness" added in. Thankfully, "You Gotta Get A Gimmick" still lands like gangbusters!
-
WE get a taste of spring and then Winter slaps us in the face again....

OH! One very unexpected highlight of the evening was having Christine Baranski sitting across the aisle from me. We had a brief "reunion" and chat during intermission. :)
-
The Dick and Jane photo reminded me of something. Unlike my next door neighbors, who learned to read with Dick and Jane , our 'reader' featured John and Jean and Baby Judy; The only thing I could think of at the time was that in Catholic school, we couldn"t use nicknames(But how did baby Judy, not baby Sally, slip in there?).Did anyone learn to read with John and Jean?(I also practiced on Classics illustrated Comics, which helped keep me ahead of the curve, tho i don't think we had curves back then, except in baseball).
<raises hand>
I did! I did too! -At least for John and Jean - not Classics Illustrated Comics. Although, I do remember that St. Francisof Assissi comic book. My parents also had a series of Filipino comic books that featured Bible stories. I used to read them even though I had no idea what any of the Tagalog meant.
So, who else had those SRA reading kits in grade school?
-
Carl from Toronto? Wasn't that the male massage therapist that advertises on Craig's List?
No. That was "Karl" with a K.
-
I think Sean Hayes has enough talent to pull off the role. I think he would be a big improvement over Jerry Lewis. However, I still think they should have hired me.
Well... It's quite possible that another version of the book will be fashioned for Encores. I have it on/from good authority that will not be using the version from the last revival (Victor Garber/Jerry Lewis). Now what I would love to see is the recreation of some of Fosse's original choreography, especially "Whatever Lola Wants" and "Who's Got the Pain" (which has become a throwaway number over the years).
-
Pronounced differently, "Who's Got the Pain?" could be a bread song for BAKER'S WIFE.
-
Or maybe not
-
Perhaps a commercial for Au Bon Pain
-
How did "Who's Got the Pain" not get the rep that "Shipoopi" did for being one of the silliest songs ever for a hit show? :)
-
How did "Who's Got the Pain" not get the rep that "Shipoopi" did for being one of the silliest songs ever for a hit show? :)
But I think silly reputation of "Shipoopi" is a good-silly reputation. "Who's got the Pain?" has always seemed sort of puzzling to me, especially since it the Act One Finale.
-
As for "American Idol"...
Hmm... Tonight's elimination was a surprise.
As for the remaining people...
David Castro's rendition of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" was based on Israel Kamakawiwo Ole's version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A2Jt4WOxN8) - and that includes the wrong/changed lyrics! However, I still get his appeal or like his voice that much.
As for Kristy Lee Cook... Yes, she's beautiful, and yes, she just has to open her eyes and smile(!) more when she sings. I think part of her upturn in popularity may have to do with all the bashing she got from Simon in previous rounds.
-
Well, I had planned to get up early tomorrow in order to get my hair cut, so...

Is there any way in the world these contestants don't know their rankings? Surely Sysha, KLC, Jason and Brooke know right now that they won't be the winner. Or is that only obvious to me?
I'd venture a guess right now and say that tonight's results were an eye-opener.
Of course, this kind of shock isn't going to be the norm. Generally, things "right" themselves along regular lines of guesstimation based on such things as "power rankings".
What I find amazing, though, is that the three judges seemed to think the bottom three were the right choices...but when two were named "safe", Randy and Paula seemed taken very much aback at the one left standing...and going home tonight.
I know one thing: The one who went home is a far better singer than at least half the remaining contestants. But when folks don't vote for you, whatchagonnado?

Back from our designer run-through. Act One actually played very well and got lots of laughs - about six minutes longer than I want it to be, but that's six minutes less than it was last week so we're going in the right direction. The other six minutes is all cue pickups and not elongating every line. The reason that it played well, I think, is because I spent all of last night stopping and starting and doing detail work and all that really helped. Act two was a different story - sloppy, missed lines, missed entrances, and slooooow. However, not really anyone's fault since we hadn't run act two in over a week. So, Saturday morning begins with the same detail work and cleanup on act two.
They had staff from the Chance there taking notes. Now, call me crazy, but I find it just a teeny bit odd that anyone is taking notes three weeks before opening. But, this happened at our first stumble through and the notes I received were pretty basic and nothing I wasn't aware of, along with some comments I simply didn't agree with. We'll see what these are like.

If I had to guess, I'd say that he had no dedicated fan club (like David A. or Jason C.) and since he seemed "safe in the middle, folks overlooked him trying to save Carly.

DR George, I hope she has a bag of food for you to find. If not I hope you can reach her on her cell. I fear you would have done that at the market if you could.
I did call Margo on her cell phone and left a message, but I was able to figure out what happened. When I went to Fred Meyer on my lunch, I saw that they have many types of Iams in orange bags. Margo normally goes to Safeway and I went there this evening after work. As it turns out, that particular Safeway only has one type of Iams in an orange bag! I bought it and when she called me back and we were able to actually talk to each other, she confirmed that that specific Safeway only sells one type in an orange bag, which is why she told me to get the Iams in the orange bag. So, all is well! :)
