Well, you've read the notes, the notes were not too pithy, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're stuck in traffic because of the stupid Lakers game.
-
And the word of the day is: EXTIRPATE!
-
And a very happy haineshisway.com birthday to occasional dear reader Joey.
-
I have always found the concept of sports quite mystifying. Why should I care what a bunch of people I don't know do with a ball? They don't care about me. Am I supposed to care about them simply because they live relatively near where I live? That's insane. There's no story, there's no music...no reason at all to care. What difference does it all make?
-
Don't you sometimes wish that you could EXTIRPATE yourself from the traffic?
-
MYSTERY & IMAGINATION needs to update their website!
-
DR JoseSPiano - so very happy to read about your professional success yesterday! :) :)
May this provide you with more work in the future.
-
I think DR Joey's birthday is tomorrow [Friday 4/25], unless the HHW calendar is wrong.
-
Did I get it wrong?
-
Finished writing notes, which did indeed almost take an hour.
-
I won't tell anyone.
-
bk, you should operate like Mr. John Kander - have an assistant who follows you around everywhere, jotting down everything you say, and THEY can write up and distribute the notes! :)
-
I do, and that's the way we did it last night, but I ended up rewriting them so much that it's just easier if I do them.
-
I guess that's usually the case. :-\
-
I'm stilll waiting for the day when you accidentally send the HHW "notes" out to your company of actors. The following run-through of the show would be very arch and very outre, I would imagine. ;)
-
And now I shall to bed.
-
Sweet dreams, bk! :)
-
TOD:
In middle school and high school, I was heavy into competitive swimming - meets every weekend, traveling all over the region, etc., etc. Now? I don't do squat. :)
My favorite sports to watch on television now are diving, figure skating, and tennis.
I detest most professional sports [hockey, football, basketball, baseball] - don't understand 'em, and don't watch 'em.
Oh, and I don't bet on 'em, either. :)
-
But I also realize that many sports fans detest musicals.
So I'm happy to live and let live.
:)
-
Back from my walk with Zach.
Boy, the songbirds are making quite a racket this morning! :)
-
I grew up watching Hockey and especially The Montreal Canadians who before the over expansion of the league were the best team. I remember the "original" six. Then the 12 and then way too many teams
-
Back from my walk with Zach.
Boy, the songbirds are making quite a racket this morning! :)
They are singing "Spring, Spring Spring" from "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
-
I think most sports could be improved with some songs and perhaps a little tap dancing.
-
I am not a sports fan.
-
But I am a fan of a certain CD which was in the mail bin as I walked into 79 Fifth Avenue this morning!
Hoo and Ray my CD is here. I will listen to it as the morning goes along. The packaging is gorgeous. It came in perfect condition. The box was unmarked except for the address label and postage and the jewel case is not smashed.
I am happy!
-
Good morning Dear Laura
-
Good morning, Ben.
Now I must be off -- I have an airport run to make!

Walk with Zach - I gather that's not a Mario Lopez euphemism

From your mouth to G-d's ears!
Oh, wait. I'm married. :-\

DR Ben - glad to hear that Primrose is finding its way to the East Coast! :)

MARIO LOPEZ & THE RIGHT TO BARE ARMS - my new legal treatise
-
Perhaps I will have an Evening in my mailbox today.
-
I like to play tennis - singles though, doubles not so much.
I like to watch Hockey on television, especially in HD....and though I don't think I qualify as a fan, I like to watch some Nascar races in HD.....not the entire race, but a few minutes now and then.
Baseball and basketball and golf are three sports I can't even watch for a little while....even in HD.
-
No, DR LAURA....not 100....around here the A/C goes on when it reaches 76 degrees.
-
Off to do some things.
-
And the word of the day is: EXTIRPATE!
The man with two brains had an EXTIRPATE. However, he also had no hair - it had all been rooted up when the spare grey lobes were added.
-
We had leftover turkey meat loaf with mashed potates and green beans for dinner last night.
-
Yes, those Lakers fans should have all stayed seated until the "all clear, Kimmel is home now" signal was played.
What oh what will happen when the Dodgers' night games let out?
-
We will not be seeing Trog tonight. Anthony has a rehearsal for a dance piece he's working on so we will not partake in tonight's camp fest.
-
Good morning, all! I slept late, since I could, and I think I'll do a bit of laundry today. I have a trip to NYPL around noon, and the rest of the time I will spend on criticial notes.
I suspect that former acquaintance Joey will log in tomorrow at some point to see how many have expressed natal day felicitations, but I doubt he will post.
DR MattH, there's a side of me that thought last night's LAW & ORDER episode was as out of left field as "Is this because I'm a lesbian?" but I enjoyed the performances. I'll miss Martin; I've been a fan of his since seeing the original cast of RENT. I have a friend who was in acting class with him several years earlier and said it was all tming, that everyone wondered when Jesse's break would come.
-
I'm not a big sports fan, but sports have changed my life.
Well, the gay softball leagues sure did.
Not euphimismally, either.
My first lover joined a gay softball team, back in the day, and they needed a scorekeeper. I got drafted. He only lasted one year with the team. I bounced from one team to another in the Los Angeles league for four years.
Sat out for a couple of seasons, after getting bashed.
Got involved again when I ran into one of the guys from that first team who needed a scorekeeper for a team he was running in Long Beach.
A couple of years later, switching teams, I ended up at Mike's Corral and met der Brucer.
Forced der B to tag along for four more years.
And finally got burnt out and dropped it. I haven't been able to stomach watching a game since.
Der B replaced the softball with something more like hardball - he got us involved with Log Cabin.
He's now using everything he learned from me on scorekeeping and recordkeeping, in order to help his daughter work up some statistics spreadsheets for the grandlads' little league teams.
What goes around, comes around, and sometimes bites you where you'd rather it didn't.
All the same, if it weren't for the softball, I probably wouldn't have connected with der B. And we've been together twenty-two years now, sometime this month (exact date misplaced).
That first lover of mine has a lot to answer for. ::)
-
"Is this because I'm a lesbian?"

Well, I believe it is most unseemly to be up a mere four hours after going to sleep, and yet, here I am, up.
-
I suppose I shall try to sleep another few hours.

And that's not a euphemism, either! :)

Thursday morning greetings! We are expecting our first 80o day here in SW Ohio today.
TOD - I am a true Blue Michigan Wolverine and a huge fan of college football in general. I also like to watch figure skating and the Indianapolis 500.
As for playing sports - NOT! The fitness activity I've enjoyed most is aerobic dance, especially when my class met on the stage of the campus auditorium and was taught by someone who was also a dancer/choreographer. I kept telling myself that we weren't exercising, but rehearsing numbers for a show and any day now they'd bring in the sets and costumes.
-
Thursday morning greetings! We are expecting our first 80o day here in SW Ohio today.
The weather report in the taxi after the movie last night said Manhattan would be in the 80s as well today.
-
Looking forward to hearing more from DR Jose about his pit possibility.
-
I've a late nite at work again, and should try to get a couple more hours of napping.
hasta la.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up.... And I'm back from the gym - It's amazing how fast and efficient I can be there when I put my mind to it. I managed to complete a brief aerobic warm-up on the elliptical, then did two complete weight circuits on the machines. I was in and out of there in 45 minutes.
-
As for the topic of the day...
I'm very much a fair-weather fan of my birth-town (I was only there for the first five weeks of my life) team, the Boston Red Sox. I did play little league baseball when I was in grade school as well as soccer. I enjoyed playing soccer a lot more. -I had a trip to the emergency room after a fly ball tipped my glove and landed in my eye - I forget if it was the right or left one.
Nowadays, my "like" for a sport seems to be in correspondence to the amount of skin showing. Thus I like swimming, diving, etc. ;)
*I did watch a friend's dodge-ball match on Monday night - it's a GLBT League. Lots of fun, and surprisingly serious(!).
-
...And since I didn't want it to go bad in the fridge, for my breakfast today I'm having Thai Peanut Shrimp with Vegetable and Noodles. Very tasty. -I'm really diggin' these Fresh Direct pre-packed meals - and they're all under 500 calories too!
-
bk - As for your traffic KARMA...
Are you sure that the KARMA is not being directed against/coming back to you?
;)
-
In the I gotta tell you department, I just received an e-mail at Kritzerland from an Evening Primrose customer telling me "since everyone in NY has gotten their CDs, where's mine? Send me USPS info." Never mind that it's the USPS - never mind they just went out Monday or Tuesday via first class mail, which is not a guaranteed mail service in terms of time to deliver, never mind they went out earlier than promised, and never mind that I do not have any control over the USPS - it's the tone of the thing. Obviously people are getting their CDs - a few on Tuesday, some yesterday, and some today.
-
And as for the Pit and Work Vibes, well, we'll see. At this point, the production isn't scheduled to come into NYC until early next year (I think). However, again, it was just nice to be amongst a group of real theatre professionals and to feel like one myself, legitimately. -It's been a while since I've felt that my hard - and not-so-hard - work over the past years has actually meant something.

Just kindly remind them that mail from the Left Coast to the East Coast can take anywhere from 3 to 10 BUSINESS days - and that a lot of is most likely dependent on their local branch. *And that if they wanted guaranteed delivery, they should have requested it.

From your mouth to G-d's ears!

Just got an e from a friend who's doing a polish on a film script:
Can you suggest the name of a "regular" place in Indiana for a modern girl (18) to be raised somewhat sheltered (small town-ish), yet able to do some local modeling (small city-ish)? It only figures in where's she from, not otherwise.
-
Where does Jrand live? Would that work? Any suggestions?
-
Sorry, I don't know from Indiana. Jones or otherwise.

Panel: WVU improperly granted degree to governor's daug
I saw this online. I thought, "Gee, if they can't spell "dog" right, then they really don't have any business granting degrees," but it turns out that the headline got cut off...they meant daughter.
-

I'll miss Martin; I've been a fan of his since seeing the original cast of RENT. I have a friend who was in acting class with him several years earlier and said it was all tming, that everyone wondered when Jesse's break would come.
DR Elmore, I thought THE EXACT SAME THING about "Is it because I'm a lesbian" when I watched the show last night, plugging this former gambling addiction on him. (Ryan Wolfe was given a gambling addiction out of the blue on CSI: MIAMI last year, and it almost made me stop watching the show.)
Since L&O is notorious for not giving us much information at all about the personal lives of its characters, it didn't bother me much, but to throw this at us in his last episode did seem rather arbitrary.
-
Sorry, I don't know from Indiana. Jones or otherwise.
Argh! Don't mention that name. I had enough of Indiana Jones for awhile. (Of course, the new movie which many are predicting will be the highest grossing of the summer comes out very soon.)
-
Good morning!
Didn't get nearly enough sleep, but my body told me it was time to get up so I did. I hope I'll sleep that much more deeply tonight.

TV Reminders:
Every network is up to full speed now with new episodes of all the Thursday favorites.
UGLY BETTY, GREY'S ANATOMY, and LOST on ABC
MY NAME IS EARL, SCRUBS, THE OFFICE, 30 ROCK, and ER on NBC (note that 30 ROCK and SCRUBS have switched timeslots).
SMALLVILLE and SUPERNATURAL on CW
SURVIVOR, CSI, and WITHOUT A TRACE on CBS.
-
Today I'll be watching HOW SHE MOVE. On the surface it wouldn't appear to be something that would appeal to me, but I will be as objective as I can to watch it.
Thankfully, there are a sensible number of featurettes connected with the DVD, so it won't take me five days to get through everything.
-
Where does Jrand live? Would that work?
DR JRand57 lives in Mooresville, but I don't know if that city meets any of the other criteria.
-
It's really gorgeous here. Completely blue sky and warm temps today near 80. It is supposed to be in the 80s tomorrow.
-
I believe Mooresville is the Encino of Indianapolis. :)
I am still waiting for my Evening Primrose CD. :(

I would probably still be waiting for my EP CD also if I had not glanced into the mail basket when I arrived at work this morning. I saw my box and grabbed it, thus relieving the mailroom staff of processing the article and then putting it into the inter-office mail cart and bringing it down from the 4th floor to the 3rd floor.

-Just call me "Jose Homewrecker". ;D

Unquestionably my favorite sport is figure skating. I swam competitively in high school, but I never enjoyed participating in sports, a great handicap in my family since they were all WILD about sports and each had awards from their sports accomplishments in school and out.
-
As for Indiana.. Try Goshen - it's an "easy" commute to Chicago from there. And I'm always amazed that places named "Goshen" actually exist. Otherwise, if you want to go further south, there's always Evansville - which is sort of a small-big/big-small town. Lots of industry there, and it's a few hours away from St. Louis, Nashville and Memphis.
Then you could also have your choice of the college towns: Bloomington, Terre Haute, Plainfield, Lafayette, Muncie, Anderson, Elkhart, South Bend, Mishawaka, Valparaiso, Gary, etc., etc., etc...
-
OK - Time to depart for today's adventures in musical theatre...

Sometimes I enjoy watching figure skating on TV. As for participation, no, nada.

Muncie, Indiana, Muncie, Indiana, Muncie, Indiana, that's the town that knew me when.
Hey, don't blame me, it scans!

I actually have no relationship with Muncie, euphemistically or otherwise, I was just makin' a joke.

Hello, my dear DR's -
I, too, am in the throes of Opening Weekend... and appreciate what our esteemed leader is dealing with. Gawd, I'm tired!
Compleat Female Stage Beauty opens tomorrow, for a gala-opening-night-fundraiser-with-buffet, and officially for press and public on Saturday. I think this is the only So. Cal BRAIN I won't be seeing - from first read-thru, first staged reading, first production... hate to miss it, but LOVE my show!!!
Baseball - yup - I'm from a rabid baseball family -- my dad played until he was 87, my brother played until injuries (sustained as catcher when a player slid home) sidelined him, and his two boys-from-the-second-litter are in college on baseball scholarships - one went to the college world series and finished 4th last year. But I don't really follow the pro teams -
I do like boxing... my Chuckie introduced me to the sweet science in 1981... he is a sports journalist now - covering boxing in south Florida. My sport of choice - ballet.
-
Happy 4th!!!
-
Hey, Bruce - ever hear from that theater??
Happy B'day to Joey.
Singdaw! Your new pic is very cute.

I saw yesterday that Juilliard is looking for a full time career counselor... thought seriously of applying for the gig. Might still apply. But as I recall, NYC still does Winter...

Hello, DR PennyO! The folk at Artie's ask when Penny's coming back. You are missed enormously on the East Coast, dahlink. By me, especially.
Someone is selling on eBay today an original BABES poster beginning at $980.00, which is a bit out of my league. Why wasn't I born rich instead of beautiful?
-
The only sports I ever watch are gymnastics and diving.
-
Oh, baby - I'll be back... just don't know when. See above post...
-
Elmo, if I were rich I'd be your sugar-momma...

Jose, your story last night made me smile very much and goes to show that nice things can happen to nice people!
-
Tell the boyz at Artie's to save me a matzah ball... actually, I do sing a crazy song in this show, No Balls at All...
-
In re: Jose's continuing success -- nice SANE people are showbiz rarities. The cream does rise to the top. Lotsa nice CRAZIES, lotsa mean LUNATICS, lotsa angry, bitter, frustrated, indifferent, sad, narcissistic, unbalanced, bi-polar, blahblahblah... Jose is one rare bird in the biz.
-
Phone-- back soon (as in, probably by Monday...)
-
Yeah - gotta take this (I'm typing slowly between taking copious notes about the music) bye my dears have a lovely day.
-
I like baseball and football. I like figure skating. Hockey is okay.
My favorite is attending an event live.
For me i need a team to really root for. Otherwise i have a harder time getting into it.
-
Hi, DR PennyO!
-
Hiya, Ginny!
-
I made show books for the musicians - now the director wants longer transition music between a couple of scenes, and some scene intros... oy. The keyboardist can read anything - but now I have to write more cello parts... oy.
-
see ya --
-
Singdaw! Your new pic is very cute.
Why thanks, DR PennyO! They got my "bad side," but still... ;D
Good to see you round these parts! :)

It's not that i really care that these 2 are the final 2. I am okay with that (i found sheila very whiny). But i wish that adam had won the final hoh. I wanted to see what he was going to do. He was quite smart last eviction (evicting sharon). I had thought he was going to screw over ryan and just not tell him what he was doing. But he really came through. I was surprised he went to him. I think that was a huge turning point for adam game-wise.
I really wanted to know if adam would have taken sheila to F2. I think he threw the last part of the hoh so he wouldn't have to do it. Now he has her vote. It will be intereting to see how the house votes. I would see james and sheila voting for adam. I think adam will win. But not sure how it will go.

But I also realize that many sports fans detest musicals.
So I'm happy to live and let live.
:)
Well, I have never felt the need to select one over the other. I love musicals and I love sports. My playing days of sports (and possibly musicals) is over; but I am an avid and rabid fan. I love baseball, especially My Seattle Mariners; although I doubt they know they are mine. I also love football, and again the Seattle Seahawks are my favorite team. I watch Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football; and, whenever possible, both games on Sunday during the day. During Mariner baseball season, I seldom watch anything else on TV but Mariners' baseball.
Other sports I enjoy watching are diving, gymnastics, figure skating, and several other of the Winter Olympic Games. BK didn't ask about musicals, so I will shut up.

Perhaps if you fire off an email to Kritzerland, reeking of entitlement... ;D

There is a Goshen, Utah. In fact some of us politically incorrect youngsters had a parody "literary magazine" we published in high school (it was quite popular, we actually sold more copies than the "real" literary magazine, LOL) whose mascot was one Rodney From Goshen.

And how long does your show run?

Well, if DR George's library workplace is anything like mine, when people start showing up bearing food - they'll figure it out!
You got that right! But you can't partake if you don't bring something. And there are signs all over the place, so the word has already gotten out. :)
-
Hi Penny!! :D

there are signs all over the place.
Hmm.
Perhaps DRs JRand57 and PennyO can interpret them for you... 8)

Hello, DR PennyO! The folk at Artie's ask when Penny's coming back. You are missed enormously on the East Coast, dahlink. By me, especially.
Someone is selling on eBay today an original BABES poster beginning at $980.00, which is a bit out of my league. Why wasn't I born rich instead of beautiful?
I read that as $98 & was seriously considering getting it for you. I love you but $980 is out of my league. I got a kid going to medical school. Even with loans and money from the sale of the loft (praying everyday all goes well now that he is in pending again), he might need help with little things such as food. ;D
-
I'm up again - got about two and a half hours more sleep. Now there are things to be done and I'd better start doing them.
-
The USPS and the way in which mail is delivered and how long it takes, baffles me.
-
...I just received an e-mail at Kritzerland from an Evening Primrose customer telling me "since everyone in NY has gotten their CDs, where's mine? Send me USPS info."...
Since the population of New York City alone (totally forgetting the rest of the state, as most people living in NYC usually do) is over eight and a quarter MILLION, and there were only 3000 copies of EP pressed, either this lassie has serious mathematical problems, or she suffers from a serious case of hyperbole, or the people of NYC are all expected to share thier copies with something like 2750 other people. (Which totally ignores the copies of EP that were sent to places other than NYC, which the inhabitants of NYC often forget exist anyway.)
I'm trying to imagine an NYC where the people are that sharing. ::)
-
Hi Penny. Wishing you much success with your show!
-
Ours arrived, btw, just moments before I wrote the previous post.
Thank-you, BK!
-
DR Jane, I had somehow missed that DS Bryan's loft had gone back under contract. That's fantastic!
***EXPEDITED CLOSING VIBES!!!***[/size][/color]
-
Thanks Singdaw. Maybe I forgot to mention it. Once he found out he couldn't rent it if it didn't sell, he drastically dropped the price. That generated much attention & a quick sale. The couple need a home & seem very excited. Friday is the deadline for the first big hurdle-fingers crossed big time.
-
Argh! Don't mention that name. I had enough of Indiana Jones for awhile. (Of course, the new movie which many are predicting will be the highest grossing of the summer comes out very soon.)
You could always wait it out, until the DVD of the film comes out.
;D
;)
-
Off to the 2nd floor Auditorium to set up for a program. Sure hope my guest speaker arrives within the hour.
Bye for now!
-
Did I mention Bryan is selling his beloved video game collection on ebay? Some of his games are collector items. It hurts to sell but it is more exciting to go to medical school.
I mentioned all the complaints I read here about ebay sellers. I’m very proud to announce that in 6 years of selling on ebay he only has two small, & I mean small, dings in his ratings. He is known as having speeding mailings. It helps he can walk to the post office, so he mails them the evening after the auction is complete or the following morning.

Minneapolis Lakers (http://stewthornley.net/mplslakers.html)
until they moved to Los Angeles in 1960
Well DANG those guys who move to Los Angeles from other places! First the Dodgers, next the Lakers! Danged interlopers!

Just got an e from a friend who's doing a polish on a film script:
Can you suggest the name of a "regular" place in Indiana for a modern girl (18) to be raised somewhat sheltered (small town-ish), yet able to do some local modeling (small city-ish)? It only figures in where's she from, not otherwise.
There is Indianapolis, of course. But outskirts locales -- small-townish, nice communities -- include Carmel and Muncie. Franklin, of course, is nice. I believe JRand is from Mooresville.

DR Ron-Hope your day improves!
TKS!

Thank you for the continued vibes. One more doctor visit tomorrow, and we might just be in the clear!

I was pretty good at ice skating, tennis, basketball & ping pong. I enjoyed horse back riding, playing touch foot ball, volleyball, baseball & handball. I even learned to box from my brother. I loved to dance. In high school the modern dance teacher asked me to audition for the dance troupe she preformed with. I declined. Oh, I was rather decent at archery. I loved swimming, even swam out to the end of the Santa Monica Pier a couple of times. I was extremely good at hop scotch. Basically if it required movement, I loved doing it. Once my bicycle fell apart I substituted running instead of riding everywhere.
My father often took me to baseball games which I loved. At home we watched boxing. I never really got into football & I prefer baseball live to watching on TV. I miss Craig living at home cuz he is our big sports fan & sometimes I would watch different games with him. Bryan doesn’t enjoy it all & Keith isn’t very interested.
I can’t play sports anymore, which I still find difficult at times. With Keith home I don’t watch Ice Skating like I used to. I miss going to baseball games, specifically Dodger games.
-
DR Laura, I missed that. I though you were already in the clear.
IN THE CLEAR VIBES!!!!

The lasagna for the potluck at work isn't done, yet!! :o :P

Topic of the Day: I'm not really a fan of sports...playing or watching. Except ice skating during the Olympics and Seattle Storm women's basketball. My niece became a fan of the Storm and I took her to quite a few games over the last few years. That's been fun. The Storm fans are quite polite...not like the rude men's basketball fans that you hear about. ::)
;)
-
DR George - does that mean you can't eat until it IS done?
That means that I can't leave my house until it's done. I'm still at home, waiting for this to cook more fully. At least, it'll be much warmer by the time we're supposed to eat (noon, PDT) than if it was done on time and sat on a counter for an hour...I guess :-\
-
I've done a few of the things that needed doing - later I'll go see if there's any mail, and I think I'll do the few orders that have come in today tomorrow, just in case more come in (always the hope!).
-
Well, I think the lasagna is warm enough...and it it's not, then at least I'm not the only one bringing any. Probably close to 40 people will be there, so there will be a LOT of food. :D
Until later!

We have had a very busy bring your sons to work morning. Now we are back home and I am very excited to report that two long-awaited items have arrived in the mail:
1. A gorgeous original pastel of Frances, signed by her, done for a Washington Post feature in 1938 for the Golden Boy tour, that is simply unbelievably gorgeous (and huge--you should have seen the box(es) it came in). Has anyone heard of an artist named Adrienne Low or Adrienne Hall? I'm trying to establish provenance of this piece.
2. A much smaller box from Kritzerland that I haven't opened yet, but which I'm sure a little Sondheim music in it.
-
Oh, yes, we have had sons and daughters here also. I was introduced as an expert and then I went to lunch.
-
Speaking of eBay, I have a new slew of DVDs up, if anyone's interested.
I also have two negatives, Jane, both of which were totally undeserved. One was from a seller who had charged me extra for insurance and shipped the item uninsured. I very nicely emailed her and asked for my insurance money back, and she responded with a negative. I found out she was an author and I did some hysterically funny reviews of her self-published books on Amazon, including linking one of her books with Maalox under that "this book goes well with" feature. :)
The second was a buyer who sent a check express mail and then left negative feedback the day the check arrived (before it had cleared, obviously) because I didn't ship in time for him to give the DVD to his son for his son's birthday.
I have just changed my descriptions to ask people not to bid if they think my s/h isn't to their liking. I charge $4.50 for first class shipping in a bubble envellope with delivery confirmation. I make nothing on shipping and it just drives me crazy when people give me one star on that new detailed rating system. Do they expect stuff to come for free? Most of my DVDs sell for 99 cents, plus the outrageous $4.50 shipping means they get something new for $5.49 that retails at a minimum for $19.99. Oy.
End of rant.

Whenever we think we are in the clear, there seems to be another hurdle (a track and field reference).

JMK, Bryan's score is almost perfect so those must have been very small complaints. His guess, the mail was a day slow in arriving, not sending. It is still very impressive. I'm also proud of him for giving up his collection, it isn't easy to do.
-
I just hate those hurdles. I did win a second place ribbon at camp once for the high jump-have no idea how I did that. Same with the first place ribbon for the long jump.
-
I was just reminiscing about my year in Kindergarten. We had "nap time" every day, and the person who was the best-behaved [I guess the quietest/stillest] got to be the "Wakeup Fairy."
I wonder if that has had any lasting impact? ;)
-
I'm sure not, Singdaw. Not at all.

;D

I'm practicing with Sherlock for a down stay-three minutes out of my sight. He has his canine good citizens test tonight & this will be the most difficult part of the exam. He doesn't stay down when I leave him with someone else. He also does a lot of whimpering. A little whimpering is acceptable, not a lot. ;D
The other major hurdle to his passing, is keeping him from pulling me while only wearing a regular collar. Normally I keep a pinch on him. I know they look barbaric but they work the best for him, and he doesn't seem to mind it. He is fine having it put on and still pulls me while wearing it. I wish he did mind it.
-
Singdaw & DR Laura-LOL.

Seems like a nice day outside, although I wouldn't really know since I'm still inside.

Back from the NYPL! Houston, The Lady of the Slipper may have a problem. I need to investigate further before I can accuse the Fat Conductor of Limited Talent of one more fraud, but so far all I'm seeing is a fraud in the Act Three title song. More to follow. Is Fatty a Fraud?
First, lunch.
DR Nursie, what's $980 in the scheme of the cosmos? :D
Actually, the NYPL Theatre Collection has the poster, but I'm surprised it's never been duplicated at for sale in the past 105 years.

You mean, he's fraud where a fraud should be fraud? ;)

I cannot speak, of course, of his Grammy winning discs since I was never much involved with those, but he perpetrated several frauds on this current project.

What a gorgeous day. I sat outside waiting for the lunch ride to pick me up, and it was so beautiful. Not too hot, not too breezy. Oh, if all year could be like this!
-
When I got in, I watched HOW SHE MOVE. The drama is nothing, very phony and arbitrary. But the reason for the film is the step dancing routines, and they are impressive. If only we didn't have to suffer through that semblance of a story.
-
Next, I watched the featurettes on the disc. There are three of them. The first had the 9 main young actors introducing themselves and telling a bit about their characters. I enjoyed hearing them improvising characterizations based on the one-note ciphers they had to act in the movie.
-
Next, the choreographer did a feature on how she came up with the steps - a combination of step dancing, break dancing, hip-hop, and locking. The director also weighed in on how he approached filming the scenes.
The actor/dancers had a five week, 7 hours a day routine for rehearsals, and it certainly showed in the really impressive routines they performed for the camera.
-
The third feature was the "screenwriter" discussing her story idea for the film. Thankfully, this was just 10 minutes, so she didn't have to talk too much about a story that's basically the length of one good complex sentence.
-
And then I watched the theatrical trailer and the preview trailers on the disc.
Can you believe it? It took me 5 days to do the INDY JONES set. It took me only an afternoon to do this entire DVD.
-
I even had time to start another PSYCH episode, but I only got the pre-credit sequence watched. From the little bit I saw, I don't even remember what the case was about yet. (The episode is the one when Shawn hired a Swedish model to be his receptionist at Psych.)
-
MR BK, I am sorry I was not around earlier to comment. I am from Mooresville which does not know from models.
However - if said author is looking for a small town where someone might do such a thing, Franklin, Indiana, (the county seat of Johnson County) is indeed a fine choice.

TOD: I used to enjoy watching pro football. That was when each televised game ran 2- to 2 1/2 hours. Now that they run to 3 1/2 hours, I cannot maintain interest. There are far too many teams now. I used to watch three games on Sunday afternoon/evening and enjoy them all. During the course of those games, I'd see scores and highlights of ALL the other games. Now, I find pro football a bore. It's like watching golf. WHY WOULD ANYONE WATCH GOLF? I get the "playing golf" gambit...but I'd rather "watch" grass grow.
I used to love to listen to baseball while driving around and lounging by a pool or doing anything outdoors. I could even get into watching a night game. Too many teams now and too little interest in how they do.
The only basketball I've ever enjoyed was NCAA...and then only during the tournament. Professional basketball's allure totally eludes me. I don't get it, I cannot rationalize it, and yet it exists. Go know.
In college, I enjoyed playing soccer and running. Swimming and I had a flirtation in a life saving class I took.
I've always enjoyed watching Olympic sports, both summer and winter, but I confess I can see too much track and field and way too much skiing...especially the newer competitions. I loves me my figure skating, though. And I love to watch all the Olympic swimming/diving events.
In the Navy, I played intramural sports...football and tennis...and volleyball. Loved it all...for the fun of it more than for any dogged competitiveness like some I encountered. I loved beating a few people for whom the game TRULY mattered. And I loved losing to those same people and letting them know that I didn't care whether I lost or not. They could not fathom it.
In general, if sports keeps folks off the streets and out of trouble, I'm all for them.
But please....if anyone ever sees me wearing expensive name-brand bicycling togs, with all the protective gear and, especially, the specialized shoes, and walking my bicycle down a sidewalk as though I were about to engage the Italian biking team in competition, I invite you to shoot me on the spot. I'd consider it a mercy killing.

I'm listening to this Rogier van Otterloo collection (I cannot stop listening) - the second CD is just arrangements and orchestrations he's done for others, not his original music. Right now, I'm listening to a cover version of Gilbert O'Sullivan's Alone Again, Naturally - in DUTCH. They call the song 1948 for reasons I know not.

I had no idea there was another Ray Courts show this weekend - it seems like only yesterday I was there doing it. I obviously can't go on Saturday, but I can go tomorrow, although the day has turned busy for me. Have to do an errand in the morning, and then have an appointment with Teddy at noon. As soon as that's done, I'll mosey on over there.

So, has anyone who's received their CD actually listened to it? I'm very pleased with the reaction to the sound, for all the reasons I posted about the other day.

Is MBarnum in L.A. department: I received an eBay message from someone inquiring about that Bollywood movie, Saawariya. They asked if I had the movie physically in hand and would I end the auction and overnight it to them in Los Angeles. I could name my price.
I think I won't be responding. :)

My educated guess is that someone looked at the ATC thread, looked at my file, and said here's a guy who's spent thousands of dollars on our product this year alone; why would we possibly make him wait three days to get his access restored?

Thank-you, BK!
And I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that the publisher is still locked into the dark ages of hand addressing!
der Brucer
I might note that hand addressing can slow postal delivery times - the postal office usually wants the full nine digit zip code and if their optical scan equipment can not read the handwritten street address, they must either hand enter it, or deal with only the simple 5 digit code - both of which can add to delays. To expedite postal deliver, those of us who deal with lots of mailings have software that prints out 9-digit zip bar codes on all our address labels.

I'm not a big sports fan, but sports have changed my life.
Well, the gay softball leagues sure did.
Not euphimismally, either.
My first lover joined a gay softball team, back in the day, and they needed a scorekeeper. I got drafted. He only lasted one year with the team. I bounced from one team to another in the Los Angeles league for four years.
Sat out for a couple of seasons, after getting bashed.
Got involved again when I ran into one of the guys from that first team who needed a scorekeeper for a team he was running in Long Beach.
A couple of years later, switching teams, I ended up at Mike's Corral and met der Brucer.
Forced der B to tag along for four more years.
And finally got burnt out and dropped it. I haven't been able to stomach watching a game since.
Der B replaced the softball with something more like hardball - he got us involved with Log Cabin.
He's now using everything he learned from me on scorekeeping and recordkeeping, in order to help his daughter work up some statistics spreadsheets for the grandlads' little league teams.
What goes around, comes around, and sometimes bites you where you'd rather it didn't.
All the same, if it weren't for the softball, I probably wouldn't have connected with der B. And we've been together twenty-two years now, sometime this month (exact date misplaced).
That first lover of mine has a lot to answer for. ::)
I would say so! Has derBrucer considered suing him?

WHY WOULD ANYONE WATCH GOLF?

Good evening all. I like Basketball, how about that.
I like football sometimes. I'm not into pro sports really except the world series. I have been known to watch golf, I don't know why. I used to be on a bowling league and even have a first place bowling trophy as well as a most improved patch. My bowling bowl is a lucious shade of purple.
I like to play volleyball. Not sure what else. Sometimes baseball is fun...love to watch skating and all the Olympics sports.

I'm going to ANNIE tonight. I didn't want to go, but then I went to work and saw all the busses and trucks unloading. And they were unloading right under my window. It was just too much. I went to the box office and they had one, yes ONE ticket left. It's a great seat so I called it destiny and got the ticket. I haven't seen ANNIE since 1977 when it was in DC in previews before going to Broadway. I'm in the mood to see it, so it will be fun.
-
I also checked out the discounts for CURTAINS and decided they were good enough to see it one more time...lol...so I got a ticket for the matinee on Sunday May 4. As many times as I've seen it, I haven't seen it since it was in previews. Since it changed a little bit every time I saw it, I'm curious to see the final version.

I read that as $98 & was seriously considering getting it for you. I love you but $980 is out of my league. I got a kid going to medical school. Even with loans and money from the sale of the loft (praying everyday all goes well now that he is in pending again), he might need help with little things such as food. ;D

Yes the sound of the EVENING PRIMROSE cd is lovely. I really didn't know the score, but it is certainly now on the top of my CD collection.
I guess right now, "Take Me to the World" is my favorite track, but that may change.....

I even like the color of the CD that matches the color of the printing in the booklet.

The thing about negative ratings on ebay is that if someone does something awful and you give them a negative rating, then they will most likely give you a negative rating (even if you did nothing wrong).
That was my experience when i used ebay.
So i used to do something fun (just because i didn't like the idea of someone screwing up my rating for nothing i did).
I would give them a positive rating, but then explain exactly what they did wrong! :)

The auditions went well today. The composer wanted to play the music for the people coming in today since they were all people he had worked with personally beforehand, so I had a very easy hour.

Sherlock passed his Canine Good Citizen exam!!! :D Everyone in the class passed.
As soon as the instructor said we all passed a woman walked up with her Golden Retriever for the next class. I tried to get Sherlock's pinch back on knowing every week he wants to go play with this dog. I wasn't fast enough and he dragged me three quarters of the way to the dog before I stopped him. Thank goodness they didn't walk up during the test-so embarrassing.
Now my back, arms wrist, shoulder & neck hurt. What a dog! ;D

I spent a good chunk of the afternoon looking at and picking out some new eyeglass frames, as well as getting an eye examination. The eye exam was fast and easy, and finding a new set of frames turned out to be bit easier than expected. And a lot more expensive than I had originally planned. ;)
I had a very friendly and helpful salesperson/consultant at the optical shop - in fact, I had two! I started off trying some "basic" frames just find a good shape and general size, then they started pulling out a bunch of possibilities. I must have tried at least 30 different frames. Then "Helen" had an idea, and she went over to a separate display case, and brought back a couple of frames. They all fit perfectly, and they all looked pretty cool on me too. Price-wise, they weren't that bad either, so I picked a #1 and #2 pair - with the intent of going ahead and buying two pairs if I felt like it. That was the "good news".
Then came the "bad news". Since my prescription is on the high side, I had to get indexed lenses... Which, due to the style of my frames, actually cost just as much as the frames. *If I wanted the super-high index lenses, they would have ended up costing almost twice as much as the frames. Well...
I was still thinking of going ahead and buying two pairs of glasses, so I asked the guy what kind of deal they could work out for me. He crunched some numbers, after which I basically went into sticker shock. I mentioned some of the deals and coupons they had been advertising, and he re-crunched the numbers. So... I still ended up spending a lot(!) more money than I had planned today, but come the end of next week, I will have two new pairs of eyeglasses - both titanium, one whole frame in dark brown, one half-frame in copper from EYEFUNC (http://www.eyefunc.eu/) - and I managed to get a pair of standard frame prescription sunglasses with regular plastic lenses thrown in for free(!).

Was Luther not around today, DR JOSE?
Luther was not around today, DR JRand. However, he may be back in two weeks. We shall see...

DR Jane - What kind of treat did DD Sherlock get for passing his exam? -And what kind of treat did you treat yourself to? ;)
-
Jane, I think next time you should get a little dog -- like a yorkie or something.
I'm just not a little dog person-would rather have a cat.
-
Congratulations to Sherlock (and his mom)!
Thank you. :)
-
Sherlock wants to PLAY!!
Always, as long as we are with him.
-
DR Jose, Sherlock got Tilapia Fish Jerky. I got the satisfaction of my hard work paying off, plus I think I will treat myself to an Adavan tonight to relax my sore muscles. ;D
I really enjoy training classes. Keith went to a few puppy classes and said-"that's it".

'night

Oh...
While walking around the theatre district after dinner, I happened to spot a few Seelebritees: Carrie Ann Inaba was attending A Chorus Line tonight, and Ben Brantley was going in to see In the Heights again.

I agree with you; I like mid-size to large dogs. Like Sugar.

What a full evening of viewing I've had tonight.
I began by watching a PSYCH episode that I had barely started this afternoon. It was the one where a man was convinced a ghost was haunting his house by moving furniture and doing even more dastardly things like trying to burn it down. Good episode and very funny.
-
Next, I put MY FAIR LADY into the Toshiba HD-DVD player and let it upconvert it to true maginficence. I picked and chose which numbers I wanted to watch, and every one of them was really beautiful looking.
-
The ABC shows which I watched "live" tonight were all at their best. I truly enjoyed every single one of them.
I started with UGLY BETTY. A very entertaining episode, and I literally though my HDTV was going to explode in the first few minutes with all of that supersaturated color. The show is always colorful, but this dream sequence really was something for the ages color-wise.
-
GREY'S ANATOMY had a very involving episode which I really enjoyed.
Of course, my enjoyment was fueled by the guest star performance of my heartthrob Jason O'Mara. He was part of a fascinating multipart storyline of injured people.
-
And, of course, LOST. Where to begin to describe all the surprises, shocks, thrills, and action that made up this episode?
What a night!
-
Nothing to write up tonight, so I'm free now to head downstairs to bed.
Good night!
-
Back from a nice dinner with Jim. We went to the grand opening of a new restaurant in Keizer. Very fancy!
Jim had Phad Thai and I had Flying Trout.
-
Congratulations, Cilla, I only found out today that I have been saying and spelling it incorrectly as badmitten all my life.
I checked the spelling before I posted it. I've always called it badmitten too. ;D
-
Flying trout?
-
ANNIE was actually very good. The performances were great, especially the Annie who was an understudy. The sets were much better than a lot of them we get at the Orpheum. The place was sold out and full of young girls. I'm glad I went
-
Glad you enjoyed Annie.

Back late again and must now hurry and write notes and then write run-through notes - another really late night.

TCB - I'm getting concerned about your package because your order wasn't really placed through paypal. I know I printed out your address paper and I'm worried I didn't get it in the pile, but then where is it? So, keep me posted and if it's not there Monday I'll send another.
-
Evening Primrose arrived in the mail today. Yay!
-
Sigh...I'm still waiting.

So sad; you have so few other cast albums to enjoy.
