Well, you've read the notes, the notes were numero uno de Mayo, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - for them it's still April and they're asking to hold the Mayo, or is it the Moo-o.
-
And the word of the day is: IMPREST!
-
I posted the notes early and I'm really going to try and go to bed soon, even though I feel rather yucky.
-
Were you impressed by the imprest?

Good morning, all! I am up early because I have a lot to accomplish today. First Toyland, then NYPL, andthen back here to continue my notes on the score for Lady of the Slipper. I believe there may be some working coming my way this weekend so I want to clear my schedule for it.
I have nothing else to report. This is a travel day for both DRs cillaliz and JoseS so travel vibes are in order[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]

TOD:
All I can think of at the moment is my favorite Disney cartoon "Trick or Treat" with Donald Duck, Hughie, Dewey, and Louie.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I guess I should wake up my Dad soon so that he can bring me to the airport this morning.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
Well, the only one that comes to mind right now - besides "The Red Balloon" - is Bambi Meets Godzilla (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-wUdetAAlY).
;D
*I still remember seeing this for the first time on "Saturday Night Live" many, many years ago. It still makes me giggle.

I first saw BAMBI MEETS GODZILLA on a midnight showing of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and SCHLOCK at the Victory Theatre in Dayton, OH, around 1974. About 10 of Macbeth's friends, his first wife, and I went to see it and we all got terribly wasted. We got home sometime around 4 am, as I recall.
-
TOD:
Many of the old Bugs Bunny cartoons
Also Bunny, 1998, from Chris Wedge and Blue Sky Studios. A 7 minute animated wonder.
-
I found out last night that I'm teaching a Kenyan piece to the choir tonight, so I'd best get busy with my phonetic pronounciation guide!

TRA-LA, TRA-LAY
THE FIRST OF MAY!
Time to don gaily colored tights and sing madrigals from towers! :)
-
TRA-LA, TRA-LAY
THE FIRST OF MAY!
And that's Kenyan for what?

OK - Time for me to put the rest of my stuff away and head to the airport.

Tra la! It's May, the lusty month of May!
That lovely month when ev'ryone goes blissfully astray
Tra la! It's here, that shocking time of year!
When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear
It's May! It's May, that gorgeous holiday
When ev'ry maiden prays that her lad will be a cad!
It's mad! It's gay, a libelous display
Those dreary vows that ev'ryone takes, ev'ryone breaks
Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes
The lusty month of May!
Whence this fragrance wafting through the air?
What sweet feelings does its scent transmute?
Whence this perfume floating ev'rywhere?
Don't you know it's that dear forbidden fruit!
Tra la, tra la, that dear forbidden fruit!
Tra la la la la - Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la - Tra la la la la
Tra la - Tra la
Tra la - Tra la
Tra la la la la la la la la la la la
La la! It's May, the lusty month of May!
That darling month when ev'ryone throws self-control away
It's time to do a wretched thing or two
And try to make each precious day one you'll always rue
It's May! It's May, the month of "Yes, you may"
The time for ev'ry frivolous whim - proper or "im"
It's wild! It's gay, a blot in ev'ry way
The birds and bees with all of their vast amorous past
Gaze at the human race aghast
The lusty month of May!
Tra la! It's May, the lusty month of May
That lovely month when ev'ryone goes blissfully astray
Tra la! It's here, that shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear
It's May! It's May, the month of great dismay
When all the world is brimming with fun, wholesome or "un"
It's mad! It's gay, a libelous display
These dreary vows that ev'ryone takes, ev'ryone breaks
Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes
The lusty month of May

-
Thanks for the Vibes....Travel Vibes to DR Jose~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Well, I think I'm packed. I never know what to take. I was going to pack light and carry on, but since I have to trek about a mile between flights in Minneapolis, I decided to check my bag....so, I may as well bring more stuff, one never knows what one wants to wear... :)
-
It looks like it may be rainy the whole time I'm in the City, so the umbrella, the rain coat....
-
Better sign off. I still have a few things to do before I head to the airport
-
Wave as you fly over Indiana, DR CILLA LIZ!
Things to do, I will be back.
-
I was out of deodorant, and the brand I like seems to have discontinued the particular version that I like in the "unscented" variety, so I thought I'd try one of the scented versions.
This morning was my first experience with "Powder Fresh," and it will be my last. The scent is obnoxious and it is driving me to distraction! Ugh!!

Good morning!
Beautiful day in the offing here, and I'll be heading out to lunch later to enjoy some of it.
-
I'm another one who loves BAMBI MEETS GODZILLA.
I also enjoy the Warner cartoons that pair Bugs Bunny & Daffy Duck.
-
TOD - Ben and Me
As a child I absolutely loved this short, and I still like it a lot. (Current releases on VHS and DVD have altered the ending.)
As an adult I have veered more to DONALD IN MATHMAGICLAND.
I also love Disney's first forays into nature documentaries with the short True-Life Adventures like NATURE'S HALF ACRE, WATER BIRDS, etc. The feature length renditions of this were fabulous, but they started as shorts and are still fun to watch.
-
MGM did some short filmed adaptations of classic stories. My favorite of those was THE TELL-TALE HEART directed by Jules Dassin and starring the marvelous Joseph Schildkraut.

TV Reminders:
ABC: UGLY BETTY, GREY'S ANATOMY, LOST
CBS: SURVIVOR, CSI, WITHOUT A TRACE
NBC: MY NAME IS EARL, SCRUBS, THE OFFICE, 30 ROCK, ER
CW: SMALLVILLE, SUPERNATURAL
all new!
-
Today I'll be finishing up the Indy Jones stuff with INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE.
I have CSI: NY and BOSTON LEGAL to watch from last night. I'll likely get to them this evening before prime time TV begins.
-
And the word of the day is: IMPREST!
Of course these PERMITS are legal! They bear the IMPREST of the state seal!

Ok, I'll wave, it may be from a long way off. Minneapolis to New York often takes a more northern route

I can't think of anything just now.

DRs Jose and Cillaliz, have great fun on your respective trips!
-
Hello, everyone.
-
I found out last night that I'm teaching a Kenyan piece to the choir tonight, so I'd best get busy with my phonetic pronounciation guide!
Which one, Singdaw? I have my church choir regularly do African material. Of course we have a Liberian family in the congregation so that helps a little.
-
DITTO TO ALL THAT SINGDAW SAID ON PAGE 1!

Greetings from SUX Yup, that's our airport. They used to be embarassed by it., Now they sell Fly SUX, SUX in the City and LUV SUX t-shirts, mugs etc.
-
All right! Which one of you did it?
-
TOD:
I used to like animated films very much, but these days I prefer real drama about real people. That said, I was quite impressed with THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE--very clever, very well done.
-
Who put fresh batteries into singdaw?

-
There are about 8 of us waiting for a plane. Gotta love these little airports. No lines etc. But they have the tightest security I've seen anywhere. Guess the TSA doesn't have much else to do.
-
Thanks for the reminders, MATTH. I'm so out of the TV habit that I tend to forget about UGLY BETTY, which I do enjoy. I probably would have forgotten.
-
Re: The Legrand Album. It's quite luscious, though a bit "staid" compared to some of his other stuff. All of the Columbia albums featuring composers that came out in that era are great. My particular fave (which should be no suprise to anyone) is the Percy Faith Gershwin set.
-
The morning has flown and I've gotta split, got an appointment soon.
Will try to recall other TOD films.

I swear I don't know how it's possible, but whatever tummy ailment BK had/has seems to have migrated north to Oakland as my tummy is unsettled and just a yitbit queasy.
What's a "yitbit" you may ask yourself...or no one, in particular?
For a couple of summers in high school, I worked for my father during summer vac. At that time, he had a small home improvement company. One of the "day laborers" (DL) on the work crew to which I was assigned had a speech impediment. Whenever he was assisting the chief carpenter in framing something, or lining up a piece of lumber, the two would engage in a rather odd exchange of information which included the two words "a little bit". "Move it a little bit to the right (or left)" is what you would expect to hear.
Mr. Heaton, the carpenter (who always seemed to have precisely one drop of perspiration languishing on the tip of his nose) was a colorful character. Among his pet phrases was "I'm satisfied..." as in "I'm satisfied it's going to be a hot day today;" "I'm satisfied that lunch will taste mighty good today;" and "I'm satisfied that we'll get XXXXX done before quittin' time."
Anyway...Heaton and this DL (whose name eludes me, but was very appropriate to him) would speak in what seemed like a code. Heaton would ask, "Do I need to come to you?" (meaning, of course, should I slide the board a little bit your way?). DL would reply "Yitbit". Or Heaton would ask if he left enough room for something. DL would say "Yitbit".
For the longest time -- you'll be amazed, I'm sure -- I never associated "Yitbit" with "a little bit" but allowed myself to fancy it was some strange carpenter/DL "speak."
Did I go on too long and stray off the topic here? Yitbit!
:)

Last night's "American Idol" result was mildly disappointing. It should have been a "guy" going home.
That he wasn't "bottom two" simply repulses me.

For Lorna Luft fans....my buddy Charles Bloom (former child actor, current playwrite and song writer and son of my interviewee, actress Carolyn Kearney) sent me this notice. I am posting it here as it seems like something some of you might find interesting:
Friends:
As you’ll recall from a few past e-mails, my work is often played on the popular Musical Theatre radio program, BROADWAY AT BEDTIME which originates in Melbourne, Australia. The host is performer, pianist and director, Will Conyers.
Tonight’s show is, indeed, a special one. Will’s in-studio guest will be Lorna Luft. She’ll be recounting, among other things, many memories about life with her mother, Judy Garland, and will be discussing her new cd, SONGS MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME. .
The show will air at 10pm tonight (NYC time) and 7pm in Los Angeles.
During the broadcast, two of my songs, WHAT’S A WOMAN TO DO? and IT IS WHAT IT IS (from the musical, PABLO) will be played and I’m extending you an invitation to listen in. It should be a fun, insightful show and, needless to say, I’m flattered that Will is sharing my work with Ms. Luft and have it heard alongside so many venerable classics.
Tuning in is easy. Just go to the stations’ website: www.joy.org.au
Click on “Listen”. Then go to one of the 4 systems by which to connect.
The 2nd one listed, REALPLAYER, should be the most compatible with computers. If not, try one of the other 3. After that, in about 20 seconds, you’ll be connected and will hear the show.
So, if any of you free at 10 tonight with a couple of hours to bend an ear, I think you’re ears will thank you, as will Will, as well. :) - For further information, go to the BAB website: www.broadwayatbedtime.com
Feel free to forward this e-mail to anyone whom you think would enjoy the show. Hope you are all happy, busy and productive…or, at least 2 of those 3.
As Ever,
Charlie

I know exactly what you mean. It's one thing if he'd at least be in the bottom (since he's sucked the past few weeks - we're talking about jason). But for him to not be in the bottom at all when he has been bad is very odd. I just really hope that brooke's fans do not drift towards him. I will say that i am quite surprised that syesha is still around. She has been in the bottom quite a few times. I was very sad to see brooke go. Now my only hope is david cook.

I, too, am looking forward to some decent TV this evening. It's a BIG night for my TV-viewing tastes, with two programs on the WB ("Smallville" and "Supernatural"), three programs on ABC ("Ugly Betty", "Gray's Anatomy" and "Lost") and one program on CBS ("Survivor"). I've given up on CSI, plain and simply. It's gotten stale, IMO.
I don't watch NBC Thursdays any more...not since "Friends" ended, actually. I have watched episodes of all the NBC comedies on Thursdays and each left me oddly unamused. Not one of them is a patch on "Friends" or "Frasier" or even "Seinfeld."

FOX NEWS (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,353536,00.html)
The Indiana Congressional Candidate the GOP Wishes Would Go Away
On the face of it, Tony Zirkle looks like the perfect candidate for Congress: He attended the Naval Academy, he has a degree from Georgetown, and he went on to be a top prosecutor in Indiana, crusading against Internet pornography.
There’s only one problem — or maybe more than one, as far as the Indiana Republican Party is concerned.
Zirkle, who is seeking the GOP nomination for the state’s 2nd Congressional District, believes — among other things — that whites are victims of a "genocide," that the races should be segregated into different states and that pornography is a Jewish plot against women.
"We’d love for him to disappear — not for the sake of our party but for his own sake," said Jay Kenworthy, communications director for the Indiana GOP.
On top of all that, Zirkle accepted an invitation to address a group of swastika-wearing, Sieg-Heiling Nazi party members at a celebration of what would have been Adolf Hitler’s 119th birthday on April 20 in Chicago — birthday cake and all.

Coffin Couches
Looking for a heavy-duty couch, say something constructed from 18 gauge steel that can handle up to 900 lbs. Then a recycled Coffin Couch might be what you're looking for. Collected from local funeral homes primarily in Southern California, health and safety laws prohibit the reselling of coffins as once a human body is placed in a coffin it is considered biohazard tissue. The six cast iron heavy duty legs are embossed with the universal biohazard insignia to keep you informed where exactly you're sitting. Impress your goth friends and pick one up for $3,500 US. (Shipping might be a little expensive).

So, as some of you may remember, three-and-a-half years ago when I moved into the new home environment, I bought me a new state-of-the-art 65" Mitsubishi DLP TV. When I purchased it I already HAD a widescreen HD ready TV. THAT beast was already outmoded, I was told, because it didn't have HDMI inputs, which somehow had taken over the world since I'd bought the beast. So, I carefully asked if this was it, if this was truly HD and would work with all that was coming, including high-def DVD. I was assured it was. So, guess what? Now I'm told it isn't. Now I'm told that I'm only good enough for 1080i when 1080p is now the ticket. So, they were full of crap. I've got an i instead of a p and I am pissed with a p and irked with an i. They knew this was coming - they didn't just invent it out of the blue. Yes, a Blu-Ray player will upconvert to p but that isn't the same as BEING a p.
So, even if I wanted to do Blu-Ray, now I won't. And if anyone who bought this same TV three years ago feels the same sort of annoyance, they'll lose those sales, too. Bravo.

Good Afternoon!
Greetings from New York City!
The car ride to the airport was very uneventful. Although, initially, my father thought I was taking the train back up to NYC; luckily, the first part of the route is the same to either place. The lines at the airport were non-existent, and since I had only gotten there about an hour before my flight left, I didn't have to long to wait after going through security. The flight itself was very nice too, and there were some great segments on The New York Times channel on the in-plane TVs. Once I got to JFK, there was the usual unusually long wait for the baggage to get from the plane to the terminal, but once it did, my bag was the third one on the carousel. And, then since I really didn't feel like riding in a subway train for an hour and a half, I went ahead and splurged on a cab ride home. -Thankfully, the fare from JFK into Manhattan is a mandated and regulated flat fee.
All in all, a very good travel day. Thanks again for all the Vibes.
-
And since I've been home, I've been to the bank, picked up my dry cleaning, made a run to Whole Foods, made a smoothie, and even washed some dishes. And in an hour or so, I think I'm going to head to gym, although, with the weather the way it is today, I'm actually thinking a lap or two around the Reservoir may be in order. However, rain is in the forecast for this afternoon, so... Ah, well...
-
TOD:
I used to like animated films very much, but these days I prefer real drama about real people. That said, I was quite impressed with THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE--very clever, very well done.
I loved this movie, too. :D
-
Back to the Topic of the Day...
I still remember watching that Disney film of the Grand Canyon Suite once if not twice a year in grade school. I loved the musical representation of the donkeys clip-clopping along the edge of the Canyon.
-
I loved this movie, too.
As did I! :D
Although I think the TOD is short films. :)
-
DITTO TO ALL THAT SINGDAW SAID ON PAGE 1!
AND DITTO TO JEANNE'S DITTO!!!
;)
-
And the word of the day is: IMPREST!
I was IMPREST with the photos from THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X.
-
bk - I'm rethinking my plans to rent a car next week while I'm in L.A. The only thing I really have "planned" right now is to attend a performance of The Brain. Other than that, I'm just planning on relaxing and doing some more exploring (and eating, of course). And since I managed to get by pretty well when I was out there the last time without a car using public transportation, well... If I could get to a convenient pick-up spot, could I ride in with you one day to Anaheim and back? *Although, I can also take a combination of the Metro and bus to get there too, so...
*I still have to crunch some numbers, but I'm just not looking forward to paying $4.00/gallon for gas. -And I'm still a bit wary about driving in L.A. as it is. But, as always, we shall see...
-
I was IMPREST with the photos from THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X.
Is that because some of the actors were UNDRESSED? ;)
-
TRA-LA, TRA-LAY
THE FIRST OF MAY!
Time to don gaily colored tights and sing madrigals from towers! :)
I thought you did that in January, February, March, and April?
-
I found out last night that I'm teaching a Kenyan piece to the choir tonight, so I'd best get busy with my phonetic pronounciation guide!
A Skip Kenyan song?? :D
Oh, wait...it's Skip Kennon. Nevermind.
;)
-
**A friend of mine in Long Beach has kindly offered to pick me up at the airport and drive me to Los Feliz, since he has to work in that area the afternoon I get in, so... Since I'll be saving some money there, I might as well save some more. ;)
-
I'm still a bit wary about driving in L.A.
Because New York City is SO much safer? ;)

This morning I went for a walk, and this is what I saw:

Good Afternoon!
Greetings from New York City!
Alert the media! Call 911! Lock up your sons!
-
And my EVENING PRIMROSE arrived about 30 minutes ago.
-
bk, that's a bummer about your television. All the more so because you tried to anticipate future technology, and asked.
Alas, the the electronics arena, technology keeps marching forward and supplanting. Heck, with computers your new purchase is almost outmoded by the time you get it home and get it set up!
-
Because New York City is SO much safer? ;)
Actually, it is. At least to me. Mainly because the average speed on the road here in the City is only 5mph. Crazy at times, yes. But fast and crazy, no.
-
Stunning photos, DearReaderLaura DR!!

Too late. My plan landed at 11:10, so...

I would hate for you to see the state of my tv. One can barely make out the images most of the time.

I was out of deodorant, and the brand I like seems to have discontinued the particular version that I like in the "unscented" variety, so I thought I'd try one of the scented versions.
This morning was my first experience with "Powder Fresh," and it will be my last. The scent is obnoxious and it is driving me to distraction! Ugh!!
You did know that SECRET is strong enough for a man, but is meant for a woman.

DR Singdaw....isn't "powder fresh" more of a woman's scent?

Perhaps, DR MBarnum. Perhaps.
Since this guy recommended it, I figured it would be OK:

-
DR Singdaw....isn't "powder fresh" more of a woman's scent?
Well if they have it for men then some men must like it! :)
I guess it sort of smells like baby powder (which i like the smell of).
For me buying deodorant is a chore. Sometimes my mom will pick up an extra for me if there is a sale. But i almost always have to refuse it. The powder fresh is one of the only ones i can stand!

One of my coworkers hosted a program here last night and shared leftover refreshments with us today. I just had a square-inch portion of a Dorothy Lane Original Killer Brownie (http://www.dorothylane.com/departments/bakery/killerbrownie.html) - Yum!

For Lorna Luft fans....my buddy Charles Bloom (former child actor, current playwrite and song writer and son of my interviewee, actress Carolyn Kearney) sent me this notice. I am posting it here as it seems like something some of you might find interesting:
Friends:
As you’ll recall from a few past e-mails, my work is often played on the popular Musical Theatre radio program, BROADWAY AT BEDTIME which originates in Melbourne, Australia. The host is performer, pianist and director, Will Conyers.
Tonight’s show is, indeed, a special one. Will’s in-studio guest will be Lorna Luft. She’ll be recounting, among other things, many memories about life with her mother, Judy Garland, and will be discussing her new cd, SONGS MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME. .
The show will air at 10pm tonight (NYC time) and 7pm in Los Angeles.
During the broadcast, two of my songs, WHAT’S A WOMAN TO DO? and IT IS WHAT IT IS (from the musical, PABLO) will be played and I’m extending you an invitation to listen in. It should be a fun, insightful show and, needless to say, I’m flattered that Will is sharing my work with Ms. Luft and have it heard alongside so many venerable classics.
IT IS WHAT IT IS. Isn't that a song from LaCage?

I'd run amok for a Kimmel.

So, as some of you may remember, three-and-a-half years ago when I moved into the new home environment, I bought me a new state-of-the-art 65" Mitsubishi DLP TV. When I purchased it I already HAD a widescreen HD ready TV. THAT beast was already outmoded, I was told, because it didn't have HDMI inputs, which somehow had taken over the world since I'd bought the beast. So, I carefully asked if this was it, if this was truly HD and would work with all that was coming, including high-def DVD. I was assured it was. So, guess what? Now I'm told it isn't. Now I'm told that I'm only good enough for 1080i when 1080p is now the ticket. So, they were full of crap. I've got an i instead of a p and I am pissed with a p and irked with an i. They knew this was coming - they didn't just invent it out of the blue. Yes, a Blu-Ray player will upconvert to p but that isn't the same as BEING a p.
So, even if I wanted to do Blu-Ray, now I won't. And if anyone who bought this same TV three years ago feels the same sort of annoyance, they'll lose those sales, too. Bravo.

bk, I'm not sure if you're kidding or not, but I doubt seriously if you'd be able to tell ANY difference between 1080i and 1080p. Blu-ray (and HD-DVD) players as well as upconverting standard DVD players can all scale to 720p, 1080i, (and the most recent) to 1080p. In other words, the players can scale exactly to match what the resolution of your TV is. High def is high def, and unless you're sitting five feet or so from your TV screen, your eye simply would not be able to discern any difference at all.
You can get 1080p-1080i-720p (all high definition resolutions) through the component inputs on your TV. If you want high def, you can have it.

I spent all afternoon watching INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE. The newest Indiana Jones movie coming out very soon will have to go some to match this one for humor, action, thrills, and surprises.
And the DVD looks and sounds as good as standard DVD can ever hope to look and sound. Superb. I even engaged EX decoding to get the real surround feel from the soundtrack. Just incredible fun!
-
And that means tonight I'll be able to watch CSI: NY and BOSTON LEGAL before my evening of prime time TV starts. Can't wait!

As for deodorant....I buy what's on sale.

I just had a very strange computer experience (and one that didn't involve DR Coleslaw). I went to AOL Search to look up something about that city in Ohio that starts with a "C" (C*******d). it brought up the results for me, but when I went to close it, it opened a second window for the same thing. And when I went to close that it opened a third window and then a fourth window, and then a fifth, etc.; until it had opened sixteen search windows. I felt like Mickey Mouse in THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE. I finally just shut down the whole computer, because nothing else worked. It was very weird.

Those are very funny pictures from BRAINEX on the Chance Theatre site....I am not used to seeing a zaftig Zubrick, but I am sure it will be fine. And I wonder where Allison Appleby got her name?
And just to think - they are producing the show FOR FREE!!!!!!!

THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE is coming on TCM right now....with Angela's Lansbury's voice and all. I have NEVER seen it in WIDESCREEN, so I think I will watch.

Same here. I have to admit, however, that the last I bought was called "tropical" scent, and it smells like cocoanut suntan oil. A little too strong for me, but I'll use it up and know better next time.

Now, I'm heading down to begin watching DVR shows before the beginning of tonight's incredible prime time line-up.

...And what's even more amazing is that the show is more or less customized according to each boy's strengths (and "weaknesses"). The keys of the solos are changed, if needed, for each young man, and even the dance combinations will be "individualized". Basically, there will be three variations of the show each week. -I will not envy the music/pit librarian for this show... Or the conductor.

FURNITURE TO DIE FOR (http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/furniture_to_die_for_coffin_couches_9661.asp)
Coffin Couches
Looking for a heavy-duty couch, say something constructed from 18 gauge steel that can handle up to 900 lbs. Then a recycled Coffin Couch might be what you're looking for. Collected from local funeral homes primarily in Southern California, health and safety laws prohibit the reselling of coffins as once a human body is placed in a coffin it is considered biohazard tissue. The six cast iron heavy duty legs are embossed with the universal biohazard insignia to keep you informed where exactly you're sitting. Impress your goth friends and pick one up for $3,500 US. (Shipping might be a little expensive).

I actually like the design...but the price is more than a little out of my range.
I wonder if my friend Josh, who is an actual mortician, knows about these. ;)

I cannot say I have had such an experience in recent times, but there have been anomalies (oh, yes! Anomalies!) in which tons of things once popped up and took over for a moment or so. This was years ago before I learned (the hard way) of the advantages of Norton.

These have never been used. Here's what their website (http://coffincouches.com/) says (the bold is mine):
We at Coffincouches.com have the mindset of thinking "Green" and we know it is different but we strongly believe in recycling. Our niche happens to be 18 gauge steel coffins which we collected from local funeral homes primarily in Southern California. It is a health and safety law that funeral homes cannot resell used coffins to the general public. We approached funeral directors with the attitude of recycling. These coffins are not used for burial due to slight cosmetic inconsistencies. They are reconfigured and modified resulting in a finished product - a unique one a kind coffin couch.

The other day I asked about ADDING MACHINE & INTO THE HEIGHTS. I expected at least one New Yorker to have a comment? I'm thinking my post was missed and tickets need to be purchased.
Since Keith's cousin & aunt couldn't get tickets to South Pacific they opted for Spamalot. They are wondering if they should also see ADDING MACHINE and maybe INTO THE HEIGHTS.
Any opinions will be appreciated.

I think you just asked about the shows yesterday... In any case...
DRs elmore and FJL just saw The Adding Machine - and commented about it - and liked it. I saw the show a couple of weeks ago, and liked it to. It's definitely not something "traditional", so...
As for In The Heights... It's a good show. Very high energy, very Latin, very New York - and for some people, very loud. I'd suggest going t the show's website (http://www.intheheightsthemusical.com/) and listening and viewing some of the clips.
Here are the NYTimes reviews for each show:

How do you like THOSE underpants?
That outfit would look fabulous...on the floor next to my bed!

Has anyone already linked to Tom Nondorf's new Leading Men column, featuring interviews with Boyd Gaines and Nathan Gunn? (If they have, here it is again.)

Which one did you have? The first three sound great, no so the rest of the fillings.
Unfortunately, there's not a Killer Brownie flavor I don't like. The Blonde Ambition is my least fav, only because I'm not fond of macadamias. The bite I had today was Original.
One of my favorite things to do for a potluck dinner is to buy one of each flavor. Since they're rectangular, I cut the end off to make a square and leave the ends for Richard. Then I cut each square in quarters and put them in mini muffin papers and arrange them randomly on a tray. Always a hit, both at home and at the party!

I had not, and thank you. :)
-
Ginny, you must make Richard very happy.
-
I try, DR Jane, I try!
Hmm, I wonder if DR Elmore would like a Killer Brownie sampler for dessert when he comes over for dinner later this month?

Now boys, we must remember that young Vixter has joined us.

I waited until she left! :)

These have never been used. Here's what their website (http://coffincouches.com/) says (the bold is mine):
We at Coffincouches.com have the mindset of thinking "Green" and we know it is different but we strongly believe in recycling. Our niche happens to be 18 gauge steel coffins which we collected from local funeral homes primarily in Southern California. It is a health and safety law that funeral homes cannot resell used coffins to the general public. We approached funeral directors with the attitude of recycling. These coffins are not used for burial due to slight cosmetic inconsistencies. They are reconfigured and modified resulting in a finished product - a unique one a kind coffin couch.
It doesn't say they aren't used, it says they were not used for burial - that is not the same thing.

What is the lawsuit? (re: cristian de la fuente?).
Anyhow he is still on DANCING WITH THE STARS. HE hurt his arm dancing this week and has to have an operation. But his doctor said it could wait till after the show is over.
Here is the link.

Yes, and she's going to be getting quite the education! ;)
-
Thanks for the link to Nondorf, DR FJL. I would always miss these if you didn't post the links.

I just got back from choir rehearsal, and... WHEW!
I think I got just as good a workout as DR JoseSPiano, waving my arms conducting Kenyan music. The choir is finally starting to get the words, which I spent 2.5 hours this afternoon writing out phonetically in their scores. And then we added percussion ad libitum, and it sounded pretty decent! :D
-
I don't know what time bk's first preview performance starts tonight, but hope he and his crew are breakin' legs! :)
-
Sounds like fun DR Singdaw :D
-
...And what's even more amazing is that the show is more or less customized according to each boy's strengths (and "weaknesses"). The keys of the solos are changed, if needed, for each young man, and even the dance combinations will be "individualized". Basically, there will be three variations of the show each week. -I will not envy the music/pit librarian for this show... Or the conductor.
That sounds like a nightmare for all the musicians! And then what if for some reason they have to change Billy's in mid-show? :P
-
Oh. It didn't say that in the article in the original post.
-
Sounds like fun DR Singdaw
Why thanks, DR Jane! There's going to be some people from Kenya at the service on Sunday, so we really do kind of have to get the words right. :P
-
Oh. It didn't say that in the article in the original post.
I was wondering exactly the same thing, DR Laura. :)
-
'night
-
I'm too tired to do a page 10 dance.
-
Time for me to leave work. I'm sure we'll get a wonderful report from BK when he returns! :D
Have a good evening, all!
-
Had a full night of viewing.
I began with last night's BOSTON LEGAL. DR Elmore's favorite Christine Ebersole was on; naturally Denny Crane (Shatner) was hot for her.
Shelley Berman and Henry Gibosn played dotty old judges in the two cases that were part of the show last night.
-
CSI: NY had a very good case about the murder of a high school guidance counselor. Nifty surprise ending (though CSI: MIAMI did a similar case a few years ago).
-
Next I watched an episode of PSYCH from the last disc in the first season set. I didn't remember much about this episode at all, one where Shawn and Gus become legal consultants for a young lawyer lacking confidence trying to get his client off from a murder charge of killing a TV weatherman.
-
UGLY BETTY had some good and not so good in the episode this week.
Can't believe after all this time that Daniel would have even the slightest bit of doubt about what Betty's feelings tryly are about him. In fact, I think they talked about it during season 1.
-
I liked GREY'S ANATOMY tonight.
Clearly we see what's going on in the Hahn/Callie situation. Sorry to see my beloved Jason O'Mara not make it. Glad to see Izzie finally moving on toward something like a real life and career. I loved what Addison said to Meredith at the end.
-
LOST. Wow again! So many puzzles.
But at least we have an inkling of why Jack turned into a drug addled mess.
-
DR FJL - thanks for the link to DR RODZINSKI's column.....two of my favorite stage guys written about by a third....very interesting.....
-
MY NAME IS EARL had an okay episode with Joy giving culture another quip:
"Dip Van Winkle."
And THE OFFICE was not as strong as last week, but still okay....with a sharp appearance by Ryan that could lead to problems. And of course Pam's eyeglasses and Phyllis's remarks were very funny.
-
I thought about watching LOST, but decided to switch to TVLAND where Lucy and Ricky were doing a television show for Phipps Department Store, and then Lucy was doing a tango with Raggedy Ricky for the MGM brass.
Also watched STEP IT UP AND DANCE for the first time....saw the building that DR JOSE talks about quite often here and in his blog....and was completely satisfied with the person they sent home tonight, even though I had only spent about 30 television minutes with him.
-
BRAIN must be motivating right along ... and shouldn't DR CILLA LIZ be in the Big Apple by now?
-
I flipped over during commercials to watch some of QUO VADIS on TCM tonight. I can see what they were saying about the film needing major work before coming to DVD. A very hissy audio track and lots of colored specks/dirt in the version on display tonight.
-
I shall read all about it anon.
-
And now I'm going to head down and go to bed. No writing to do tonight.
Good night!
-
good evening from NYC!! We got to our hotel about 6:00 and immediately ran down to the cocktail party that was included in our fee for the seminar. It was at the New York Lawyer's Club on Vesey Street. After a number of free adult beverages, my artist friend, Trevor Goring and I took off looking for a place to eat. It was raining but we didn't care. We wound up at the Lafayette Bar and Grill (I don't think I spelled that right) they were having a grand opening for their new Salsa music nights complete with live music and a salsa dance company. It was wonderful. We had a great time. We left there and got caught in a downpour so even though it wasn't far, we cabbed back to the hotel
-
Pam had a few too many glasses of wine and chose not to join us. She missed a good time
The view from our room is incredible!! We're on the 33rd floor looking out over the Hudson. The view of the Statue of Liberty is blocked, but you can see Ellis Island and the Jersey Shore. There is a lighted neon clock directly across the river from us, does anyone know what that is?
-
I better go to sleep. I'm typing in the dark so I don't bother Pam.
Ben I'll call you tomorrow...
-
A lull.
-
Tomorrow night, I will be ushering at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts (http://www.washingtoncenter.org/) for their CenterFest celebration...it's their annual fund raiser where they bring a big act for one night.
-
In the past, they've had such performers as Natalie Cole, Bernadette Peters (my niece and I got to meet her and get her autograph!), Gregory Hines (about six months before he died), Naomi Judd, and many others.
-
It's too close to Page 11 to quit now.
-
;)
-
Tomorrow's performer is the one and only Lily Tomlin (http://www.washingtoncenter.org/season/season_detail.asp?event_id=935)!
-
We (the ushers and concessionaires) have been told that the show will be 110 minutes without an intermission and I don't doubt that it'll be very good...and completely sold out. These always are.
-
I'm supposed to be there by 5:30 pm, but I think I'll need to get downtown by 5:00, just to get a good parking place...there is not a lot of parking available downtown.
-
I recorded, but haven't watched tonight's episodes of "Grey's Anatomy" and "Lost."
-
I probably won't be able to watch them until Sunday.
-
Well, since we're here...

Back from our first public preview for about nine people. Why they didn't call the cast or me when they knew it was this lite, and ask us to DO something about it is something I'll never understand, but then there are many things about this particular experience I'll never understand. In any case, the nine people were quite loud laughers and seemed very appreciative and that was great. What was not great was the sound. More about it in the notes, but know that your ever-lovin' bk had to throw a bit of a hissy fit.
-
Even just reading about it, there is nothing like a BK hissy fit!
;)
-
Well, I need to get to sleep. Good night BK and guests.
:)
