DVD is blank, tho I'll be watching BLOOD IN THE WIRE on Sun, and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER on mon. Car CD has been alternating PRIMROSE, some Peggy Lee twofer re-issues, and yesterday added a new Naxos by Morton Gould, JEKYLL AND HYDE and the FALL RIVER BALLET; The Jekyll is what to my untrained ear sounds'atonal', but the Fall River comes across as "Coplandesque", so I am enjoying the heck out of that . Acc to the notes, it's the Ist time Fall River has been recorded complete(as opposed to a suite) and the Naxos price(7.99) is unbeatable(I dont own any Naxos stock)

Happy Happy Birthday to FJL.

Good morning, fellow Dear Readers. More in-laws coming today. Just a short visit this time.

I've never had a mint julep
In 1971, when I was on the Miami University Library staff, I had a great student assistant, Bob Kirby, who stood about 5'9" or so, weighed around 140 lbs, and had a huge, enormous afro, so from a distance he looked like a walking mushroom. He lived in a tri-level house with 5 or 6 other students, including a married couple, and a very pretty theatre student, Betty Something, whose last name I've now forgotten. It's too bad because Betty was a very free spirit of limited intellect who was constantly in hot water, especially in class or at work, for her outrageous public displays of untainted natural ignorance. Each student had a room, and it's my memory that Betty's room was the entire basement.
Kirby and I pondered for several months about the nature of the mint julep; they seemed a staple of southern gothic literature and a cliche of lazy rich southern life and we wanted to know what a julep was like: how it was made, how it tasted, when it was served, etc. So on a Friday evening, Spring 1971, Kirby and Betty invited me to dinner. When I got there, Kirby told me Betty was out roaming neighborhood gardens in search of mint to "borrow" for the juleps and had no idea when she would be back. She soon arrived with lots of fresh mint, much more than we'd ever need, and spent some time pounding much of it to a pulp. The other roommates were there, except for the husband of the wife who was doing most of the cooking with Kirby (pork, as I recall).
As the wife was setting the table, she said to me, "when my husband gets here, we'll have fresh flowers for the table." And I said, "That's nice. Does he work for a florist?"
She answered, "He's a gravedigger."
I have no memory of the juleps now, so I'm sure they were quite uneventful, as was the dinner. I believe Kirby now lives in the Seattle area and I have no idea if Betty ever graduated from college. My last memory is that she worked box office for a summer theatre and was finally sent to work in the shop because the tickets were so screwed up.

Thanks to singdaw (that card was hot! :) ), and to Ben (looking forward to seeing you and Ant too!, and to Jrand (I was born under the sign of Tsouris), and to that New York Cilla girl, and to TCB (whom I'll get to meet for the first time during my natal month), and to elmore for the lovely lively e-card.
Did I miss anyone? Our office party is today, nothing to do with my birthday, so I may have to go back later and make sure I didn't miss anyone in my thanks.

One of my colleagues in the Packard Humanities Institute project keeps telling me I have to start writing it down.

I had scheduled a card to be sent to Fred, and then I found one I liked better. So, I canceled the first and sent the second, only I didn't realize that, since it was no longer scheduled for his birthday, it would be sent that day. As a result Fred got his e-card on Monday! Plus an explanatory email and a second card for today. Oy!
-
We'll be preparing down to the minute tomorrow afternoon, so if you can avoid getting here before 5:30, that would be GREAT!
(Hmmm..is that a nice way of saying we won't be ready before 5:30? But we will be totally reday AT 5:30!!!!)
Since someone asked, Skip is doing the party for the HHW-ers as part of his present to me BUT BUT BUT the party is because of Cilla being in town, has nothing to do with my natal weekend. Hope that makes sense. As of now, it's Cilla, Ant, Ben, elmore, Jose, Julie (who will arrive a bit late after her appointment), Lois (a friend who is is from Berkeley), and Skip and me.
Have vixmom and vixter been on here and seen the invite, by the way?

And Toby and Dylan, of course. That goes without barking.

Friday morning greetings! It's muggy and getting ready to rain here in SW Ohio.

Today I'll probably watch SUPERNATURAL while I'm cooking and eating lunch. Then, I'll be back to the reviewing chores with THE FIRES WITHIN. I've never seen this Louis Malle film, but have heard so many wonderful things about it that I'm really eager to see it.
There look to be a fair number of bonus features on the disc, too, so it'll likely keep me occupied most of the day until prime time TV tonight.
-
I forgot to mention it on Thursday but actor Van Hansis who plays gay teen Luke on AS THE WORLD TURNS did indeed garner an Emmy nomination for his performance. He was also nominated last year and didn't win, much to the surprise of many in the industry, so I'll be looking forward to how he fares in this year's contest.
-
Hi, Ben.
Don't say anything, please....
-
There's simply nothin' better than sitting out on the verandah sipping a tall, cold mint julep. The mint adds that nice cool "minty" internal rush to the taste buds and the julep quietly hammers you into complacency until you start "never mindin'" the heat and humidity and gnats.
Never underestimate the power of gothic references! ;)
-
I guess I'm done with my morning internet surf and need to head down to get ready for my usual Friday errands.
I saw the UPS truck pull up, but I got distracted by something I was reading and didn't see whether he came to the side porch here or not. I may have a surprise waiting for me downstairs (or not).

j;lkj;lksjf;lkj;lk;oiasdtjhsag;lkjhasot iyuhg;jklag;kljast;lkj I agree with you, DR Jennifer, about the sweet results of the tribal council. Amanda is my favorite of the women and it really irked me to see the others turn on her -- except Parvati -- especially Erik.
My only wish is that Parvati and Amanda had cast their votes for Natalie instead of Alexis. Amanda was right: Alexis was no threat of any kind (except a vote). I'm thinking Parvati "might" need Natalie to do her bidding at some point and that Alexis was less reliable.
I enjoyed seeing Erik squirm when Amanda put him on the spot during tribal council. And it was interesting to see the jurors' react affirmatively when she told Erik she had helped him during the merger and that now, when she needed his help, he had nothing to offer. Score one for Amanda, who is now my favorite.

DR Miss Karen, whatever became of Boo-key? He never writes, he never calls . . .
Good news! He was accepted into UCLA for next fall, just got the letter a few days ago -- their theatre department to finish up his BA. So he's been busy with school related stuff (20 hours of some general ed classes and a stage craft course there at LACC that he can transfer over) and filling out some scholarship applications (the UCLA Alumni Assoc. invited him to apply for one of their merit scholarships, and he just got notice that he is getting one from the Worth Foundation), etc. etc. So my Boo-Key Bear is going to be a Boo-Key Bruin. Once the dust settles, I'm sure we'll hear from the little stranger more often...

Tonight, I shall not be at Chat and Chew with DRs Ben, Ant and Cillaliz, however, I will be a few blocks away at the Rubin Museum of Art (http://www.rmanyc.org/).

We went there last time and liked it so much we're going again.
Yeah, with the weather so crummy a boat ride around Manhattan tonight sounds a little soggy.
Can't wait. I looked at the tickets and it's a DJ dance cruise from 9 PM to 12 AM... not really my cup of tea on a cool damp evening. I took the tickets to the meeting and within 2 minutes was able to give them to a couple of the vendors exhibiting stuff that were VERY thrilled to be able to go. I'm glad someone will be using them and I am glad it isn't me ;D
-
I have a meeting tomorrow. I would probably enjoy it more if I had a mint julep.
So put it in a to go cup with a lid. No one will know ;D

RE: SURVIVOR (not about last night's show).
DR MBarnum said he could not tell the difference between Parvati (sp?) and Amanada.
It's funny i've never had a problem. But probably mostly because i remember them from their original seasons. Amanda was the one from last season. And Parv was from the season with ozzy and jonathan.
Amanda is the one who had been sucking face with ozzy all this season (my sis says they are still a couple). And Parv was the one who got switched to the other tribe and made that deal with natalie and alexis. She is the one who turned on ozzy 2 weeks ago.

And The Song Of The Day Is: THROUGH THE YEARS

RE: the daytime emmys.
I love soaps. But some of the people nominated are not the best.
I don't really like the system they have to nominate people (the cast of each show selects the candidates). And i don't really like that people vote based only on 3 shows.
To me there are actors who are fantastic (christian leblanc who plays michael on Y&R for example). Yet he did not have any really great storylines this year. But i don't think the people voting even really watch the show. They only base it on the 3 episodes they are given.
So really if an actor has a great storyline, and if the fans know they are excellent that year, it really doesn't mean they will win. Plus the period of shows that are eligible are so far in advance of now, it's hard to even remember that stuff even happened!
-

Hello, everyone!

Jennifer - Thanks, and in your honor :) , I'll (most likely) spend my birthday night watching the CBS lineup.
(We'd been thinking of trying to see Al Gore speak at radio city, but the ticket selection hasn't been great. So i think TV night it is; having my office party during the day is enough festivity for me at this newly advanced age.)

Hi, DR Cillaliz - how's your seminar going?

-
DR JRand - Which building on "Step It Up and Dance"? That show is/was filmed in the Variety Arts Center in downtown Los Angeles, so... ???
I do believe that Bravo should change the title of "Step It Up and Dance" to "Nelly Queens Having hissy Fits." Did our flouncing Italian diva Oscar who was bounced last night have any room to throw rocks?
I wish the cameras would stay on the dancers and stop cutting to the judges as if they should be seen enjoying or cringing at what they're watching so the audience will know what's good or bad.

re: jack's flashforwards
All the ones we have seen so far this season.

Can someone tell me the order of the flashforwards from this season/last season? WE have him at kate at court. Then after that comes last night. Him and kate together. But where does the one with jack and kate with the plane overhead (the finale from last season). Was that before the other 2 i mentioned. Or after the other 2?

Maybe you find amanda prettier because you like her better.
Both are extremely attractive. Especially to look that way with no make-up and stinky in the jungle.

I liked last night's show. But it wasn't one of my favorites. I wasn't as riveted to my seat as i have been the past few episodes.
There were some interesting developments. I loved charlotte and jin (her speaking korean). I loved hurley telling jack that charlie said jack should not raise aaron. I liked seeing kate in the shower. I liked kate saying she was doing something for sawyer (i am curious to know what it is). Claire going off with her dad (and jack's) was sort of creepy. Is that the last we'll see of her???

I listened to it and enjoyed it immensely. Why does today seem like a Saturday to me?
I really liked Norman Paris' orchestrations and the incidental music.
And, while I've been thinking about "Step Up and Dance," is Elizabeth Berkely channeling Padma on TOP CHEF? I find her inflections very similar.

That was my initial thought (that the airport scene comes after the other 2 flashforwards). Because jack is losing it and turns to drinking. However the things that were said during that meeting seemed sort of off to me (to happen after the others). If jack and kate had been engaged, well the way they related to each other in the finale just didn't seem off to me. But the part that really confuses me is jack saying that he had been flying and using the special deal to fly every week. To me that seemed like something he would say and feel right after returning from the island. Not years later (aaron was much bigger in last night's show).

I wasn't sure which win they were referring to for the red sox.
Plus how do we know when the finale/airplane scene happened? Is there a date for that?
Btw, i actually think you are right. There are just a couple things that seem off to me. thanks.

Good morning, good day, how are you this beautiful day? I am up. I did not get to bed until three because of writing the notes for the tech and actors. The actors didn't have all that many, but the tech did.
-
Just heard from the theater and the sound designer will be there at eleven to hopefully fix everything. Part of the problem is that like a lot of small theaters, their sound system isn't really designed to handle fifteen cast mics plus the band and they simply maxed out their system and were doing things to just get through. My suggestion was to take three of the cast mics and the Brain Tap chair mic and free up those channels and use them for the band, to create a nice stereo mix. The three actors are Rod (only sings in the ensemble numbers and the actor projects very well), General Mills (certainly doesn't need a mic), and Private Partz (though he sings in the ensemble numbers, he has no dialogue whatsoeve). And the Brain Tap chair mic has been sort of useless and it's a small theater and we haven't had any trouble hearing the mark. So, we're hoping that will do the trick.

ajfdkjdafjdlaf9f07 87fafuj87r4e89r798r798 87f97d98f7df7d998798
Well, to be accurate, Hurley said that Charlie said Jack is not supposed to "raise him." Even though Hurley had asked Jack if he was living with Kate and Aaron -- and that could be Hurley trying to understand the message he has to relay to Jack --, Charlie's message -- which Hurley had written down -- did not specifically state/necessarily mean that "him" was "Aaron", IMO. I think it "might" be one of those red herrings. There are any number of meanings of "raise him" -- dig him up/disinter him, promote him, get him on the phone, etc. I know that's a "yitbit" of a stretch, but I take nothing for granted with this show. Sometimes, I know for a fact, the writers hint at something to get the viewers to believe something will happen. And then it happens. It may be that "him" is Aaron.
I think it interesting to point out here that last night, when Kate was forced to account for her activities (a very bad move on Jack's part, I thought), she said she was doing something for "him." I wonder how many other people thought "him" was Ben? Of course, she clarified in her next comment that it was Sawyer...but for a moment, and because she seemed so uncomfortable about it, I feared she was working for Ben.
As for your earlier question about a chronology for the flash-forwards: During the trial, Jack was seemingly straight (off the pills and liquor) and productive once again. We know that Kate invited him to visit and that Jack had not yet been there to see Aaron. (Also interesting last night was his comment to Kate about "HER" not being a blood relation to Aaron. Aaron, of course, is Jack's nephew, but we haven't seen anything about Jack learning Claire is/was his half-sister). And the scene at the airport has Jack in very bad shape AGAIN and declaring that they all must go back.
That said, and if you force me to make a guess, I'm almost certain the airport scene belongs at the end of the chronology, thus far, because that's the first time we've seen Jack believing he ought to go back to the island. And if he has walked out on Kate and Aaron, it would also fit that she would have been reluctant to meet him and that he has descended, again, into addictive behaviors.

I think you blocked it from your memory. I have. And I love Barbara Harris!
-
Good news! He was accepted into UCLA for next fall, just got the letter a few days ago -- their theatre department to finish up his BA. So he's been busy with school related stuff (20 hours of some general ed classes and a stage craft course there at LACC that he can transfer over) and filling out some scholarship applications (the UCLA Alumni Assoc. invited him to apply for one of their merit scholarships, and he just got notice that he is getting one from the Worth Foundation), etc. etc. So my Boo-Key Bear is going to be a Boo-Key Bruin. Once the dust settles, I'm sure we'll hear from the little stranger more often...
Congrats to Boo-Kee...aka DR Cason!! ;D

I am sitting here like so much fish. I have no Lost spoilage as I've never seen one episode of the show.

I began my afternoon with last night's SUPERNATURAL. Eerie, scary show with a couple of nice "boo!" moments.
-
Then, I watched THE FIRE WITHIN. Clearly not meant to be "entertainment" in the relax and enjoy sense. Still, what a heartbreaking story!
Criterion's transfer is about as perfect a black and white transfer as I've ever seen. Superb grayscale, film grain that's completely natural, and not one scratch.
-
I got all of the extras watched on the disc except one.
There are vintage interviews with Louis Malle and lead actor Maurice Ronet. There is a lengthy piece with the first assistant directors and actress Alexandra Stewart (who later married Malle) talking about the making of the film.
-
Tonight I'll finish that last documentary - it's half an hour long - and then watch more of the shows on the DVR leading up to GHOST WHISPERER.
-
I gotta tell you.
Please do. :)
-
Your loss.
Pardon, DR Matt H, but i haven't seen it either and when I see the commercials, I long for an epidemic or a tsunami to kill them all! ;)
I wanted to add that I am so jealous that you will be getting a free Criterion set of THE THIEF OF BAGDAD!
-
Listening to my reissue of Subways Are For Sleeping. What a great score and what a great-sounding album, most of which is due to the superb producing of Goddard Lieberson. If anyone hasn't gotten this, I have copies I can sell.
BK, I'm just curious...do you remember how many numbered editions of this title were sold? I got #130.
-
Well, one of the first of many rather inane decisions the new head of a company I created did was to forget about the numbering and just sell it as a standard CD release, thereby spitting in the face of all who thought they were getting the numbered, limited edition. I know we numbered 5000 of them by hand. The ones I have are all numbered. When you do that to your customer base, you are on the way to nowhere, at least as I see it.
-
Soon I will start to get ready for a meal and our final preview - I'll be getting to the theater at six and before we begin the show I'll be hearing what will hopefully be a new and improved band mix, along with a new and improved overall sound.
-
Will we never get to page ten?
-
I'll tell you why I never invested in Lost - because of Alias. I became a watcher of that show, and then after season two, Mr. Abrams left and the show abused the trust I put in it with a series of incredibly stupid blunders and by the end of it it was so far afield from the way it began I was irked beyond repair, so irked, in fact, that I have never seen the final episode.
-
I will single-handedly take us to page ten.
-
I'm actually getting hungry - a good sign. We're going to Claim Jumper, where I shall continue the lite eating I've done since last Saturday - just soup and a salad.

I am really looking forward to THE THIEF OF BAGDAD. I was kind of hoping it would have arrived already, but so far, nothing.

Granted that BIG mistakes were made with ALIAS. I don't know anyone who was a big fan of that show who thought anything except the show went downhill after the first two years.
Isn't it possible, however, that people could learn from their mistakes and do better the next time out? Is it reasonable to hold mistakes against people forever?
Honestly, I wasn't being snide in my comment. LOST is one of the more remarkable achievements of TV in the last decade, and the Emmys and the AFI and the Peabodys certainly have thought so.

One of my colleagues in the Packard Humanities Institute project keeps telling me I have to start writing it down.
I think you need to get yourself a video camera (calm down MBarnum) and a tripod, and instead of writing them down, plunk yourself down in a chair with the camera focused on you and recount your stories on film. Some day we will edit them all together and release it as an art house film.

I live nowhere NEAR to Philadelphia!

Oh, dear.
Well, at least both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh start with a "P"! :-\

Oh, dear.
Well, at least both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh start with a "P"! :-\
. . .which rhymes with "T" and you've got trouble!

And you're welcome.
For the intended compliment, I mean.

Many thanks to the three J's - to Jeanne , to Jane and to Jorge.
OK, i fudged George's name for that, but still...
That's okay with me. It works. :)

Both are extremely attractive. Especially to look that way with no make-up and stinky in the jungle.
How does one look stinky?

Off like a Prom dress?
I thought it was "over your head, like a prom dress."

Here's a great list of reading recommendations:

Well, I'm leaving work now. I don't have to be downtown to usher until 5:30, but I need to go home and de-lint my shirt, de-static my pants, and de-hunger myself. :)
AND still get downtown early enough to find a parking place. Have a good evening all!

TCB, check your In-Box!

And that's not a euphemism. ;)

PAGE 11 DANCE!!
(Didn't I do this last night??)
-
I did, but it was a "Page 11 Lily Tomlin Dance."
Off to see Lily Tomlin!! :D

'LOST' SPOILAGE! BEWARE!Well, to be accurate, Hurley said that Charlie said Jack is not supposed to "raise him." Even though Hurley had asked Jack if he was living with Kate and Aaron -- and that could be Hurley trying to understand the message he has to relay to Jack --, Charlie's message -- which Hurley had written down -- did not specifically state/necessarily mean that "him" was "Aaron", IMO. I think it "might" be one of those red herrings. There are any number of meanings of "raise him" -- dig him up/disinter him, promote him, get him on the phone, etc. I know that's a "yitbit" of a stretch, but I take nothing for granted with this show. Sometimes, I know for a fact, the writers hint at something to get the viewers to believe something will happen. And then it happens. It may be that "him" is Aaron.
I think it interesting to point out here that last night, when Kate was forced to account for her activities (a very bad move on Jack's part, I thought), she said she was doing something for "him." I wonder how many other people thought "him" was Ben? Of course, she clarified in her next comment that it was Sawyer...but for a moment, and because she seemed so uncomfortable about it, I feared she was working for Ben.
As for your earlier question about a chronology for the flash-forwards: During the trial, Jack was seemingly straight (off the pills and liquor) and productive once again. We know that Kate invited him to visit and that Jack had not yet been there to see Aaron. (Also interesting last night was his comment to Kate about "HER" not being a blood relation to Aaron. Aaron, of course, is Jack's nephew, but we haven't seen anything about Jack learning Claire is/was his half-sister). And the scene at the airport has Jack in very bad shape AGAIN and declaring that they all must go back.
That said, and if you force me to make a guess, I'm almost certain the airport scene belongs at the end of the chronology, thus far, because that's the first time we've seen Jack believing he ought to go back to the island. And if he has walked out on Kate and Aaron, it would also fit that she would have been reluctant to meet him and that he has descended, again, into addictive behaviors.

Another SPOILAGE Ends
I sure hope JMK didn't miss any of those code-outs! ;D
I am just glad I gave up on LOST the first year.
-
I doubt you would stay awake if you had a mint julep!!!
And the problem...?
-
I've always preferred being called a "Bimbette," myself. 8)
You told me you preferred B--ch.
-
I did consider that, but this is HHW after all, so all is in fun.
But if anyone ever calls me "Dude", I will hit him with my handbag!
LOL! I thought this was one of Coleslaw's posts.
-
DR GEORGE.....Lily vibes.....don't mention The Huckabees.
-
Good news about DR CASON....
I hope someone has a camera at the show tonight so that we can see a Preview Photo of MR BK in his new spectacles AND highlights.
-
I got my "best of" Season One and Two DVD's of CHECKMATE, so I think I will spend the evening watching Mr Doug McClure on my TeeVee.
-
It is creepy watching the New York Yankees' ball games. Robert Merrill is still singing the National Anthem, and he has been dead for four years.
And half the time, Kate Smith sings GOD BLESS AMERICA during the Seventh Inning Stretch.
-
AND I hope someone takes a camera to the NYC HHW gathering this evening, so that we can enjoy it by proxy.
DR JOSE - it is indeed the Variety Arts Building. I only watched about 45 minutes of the show, and I assumed it took place in NYC....now I know better.
DR ELMORE's assessment of the talent involved is correct.
-
How about one in my ski togs?
How about one in your underoos?
-
Listening to my reissue of Subways Are For Sleeping. What a great score and what a great-sounding album, most of which is due to the superb producing of Goddard Lieberson. If anyone hasn't gotten this, I have copies I can sell.
Who was in the cast?
-
Of those, I only watch "Ghost Whisperer," but I'll be recording it (along with "The Sarah Jane Adventures" and "Battlestar Galactica" because I will be in the presence of Lily Tomlin!! :D
Some day -- and it will come -- you're gonna just hate yourself for missing "Moonlight".

-
How about one in your underoos?
Who are you? Michael Jackson?
-
Listening to Neal Hefti's score to Oh, Dad, Poor Dad, Mama's Hung You In The Closet And I'm Feeling So Sad. I don't think I've ever seen the film version all the way through or if I have I've blocked it from my memory. But now I have a hankerin' to see it and see how much they changed the play or if it's somehow ag
I remember that Gypsy Rose Lee toured in that show. Nope, no joke.
-
Your loss.
I don't believe that is necessarily correct.
-
Off like a Prom dress?
I'd forgotten you had such personal experiences!
-
I don't believe that is necessarily correct.
I believe that folks can make their choices. But, given that I've seen every episode as aired, it is a major loss for anyone who loves great storytelling and is willing to invest some time into letting the story get told.
There are four more guaranteed seasons during which "Lost" will complete its arc. It's unprecedented for any media, including television.

I guess we will just agree to disagree.
-
I thought I was going mad.
Could someone please pass to me a glass of whatever it was the BK was drinking?
-
I'd forgotten you had such personal experiences!
Meaning what, Ron?
-
I guess we will just agree to disagree.
You've seen season 1. I've season all the first three seasons plus all the episdoes in season 4 to date.
You've nothing to disagree with me about except that you didn't much care for season 1... :D
If it didn't grab you, I can't expect you to agree with me. But then, you don't have the full picture of what has transpired since you stopped watching.
Given what I know of BK's likes/dislikes, I agree with DRMattH that his not having watched "Lost" is his loss.
-
Meaning what, Ron?
Where did I lose you?
-
Where did I lose you?
I asked you a question.

I asked you a question.
I'm aware of that.
I don't know why I owe you an answer.

No one said you owed me anything, I just ask you what you meant.

singdaw will understand it. It's what "we" do. We exchange "comments."
It's like your comment about his preferring to be called b***h.
My comment was about his personal experience of having a prom dress removed.
-
Okay, then I will ask him. I didn't realize we were speaking in code on this site.
-
I think you need to get yourself a video camera (calm down MBarnum) and a tripod, and instead of writing them down, plunk yourself down in a chair with the camera focused on you and recount your stories on film. Some day we will edit them all together and release it as an art house film.
:D

-

Perhaps I'm simply confused, Tom.
You made a remark about his statement about the Prom dress.
I made a remark about his same statement. Mine was snarky, as usual, and implied he has personal experience wearing and then not wearing a prom dress. My implication was that he went to prom in a dress and took it off at every turn.
Thus, quoting his "Off like a prom dress" remark, I further remarked I'd forgotten he had such experiences.
-
I lit this scented (?) candle an hour ago, and I still don't smell anything. And I am all of ten feet away.
-
Okay, now I understand. Thank you.
Otay! :-*
-
Jeez, Ron, all I did was ask you a question about a comment I didn't understand. Why is that such a big deal?
-
Who was in the cast?
Sydney Chaplin, Carol Lawrence and Phyllis Newman, who won her Tony Award for this role; the score by Comden/Green/Styne is truly delightful! Buy one from BK, DR TCB!

Wow, Grayson Hall had five Broadway credits. Of course, her character only had a name in two of those shows. But hey, a Broadway credit is a Broadway credit
I believe my college roommate's first Broadway appearance was as Policeman #1 in CRUCIFER IN BLOOD.
-
You have heard of Carol Burnett, haven't you? :)
Who? ;)

Wow! JMK posts a query and disappears. Jane smiles and disappears. I sense a conspiracy. . . . ???

Who? ;)
Some Texas gal who did an engagement with Julie Andrews at Carnegie Hall.
-
Sorry, have a gig to get to--my bossa nova group is playing the grand opening of a new wine bar tonight. I'm sure that Elmore or Jose knows the answer.
-
Thanks so much for the natal wishes, td.
-
So, tell us all about your birthday adventures so far.

I lit this scented (?) candle an hour ago, and I still don't smell anything. And I am all of ten feet away.
Unless the candle should smell like cinnamon I would consider the non-scent a good thing.

You guys are on a roll :D

Poor Sherlock did not have a good day & now his tummy is upset. First he couldn't understand why we didn't feed him breakfast or give him any treats. Then we took him, and left him at that place where they do unpleasant things to him (aka the vet office).
Two hours later he was home & spent the rest of the day sleeping until the UPS guy came, at which point he stomped on my foot in order to bolt out the door. He took the longest pee I have ever seem him do. ;D
The purpose of the visit was that the super hard chewer had two teeth that needed bonding. The vet, a dental expert, said not bonding them could cause problems later. While he was out for the dental work two skin tabs were removed, one by his eye & one under his lower lip.

Just got lovely birthday wishes from Edisaurus!

BAD UPS guy!!! BAD!!!!! No treats for YOU!
-
Oh. Hello!
-
I've been away for too long, but talking with FJL about the lovely birthday dinner Skip made for him has made me hungry, so I'm going to go out and forage, after which I shall return. I have finally caught up on all the posts!

Oh. Hello!

And Grayson Hall. Wasn't she in DARK SHADOWS?
I loved Grayson Hall! She was a neat lady. wish i'd seen her in HAPPY END. She was a friend of my friend Leonora Hays.
-

;D
Hi Edi. Actually the guy was very nice & did not move his truck, though it was late & he wanted to leave, until Sherlock was safely back in the house.
-
Hi Edisaurus! Welcome home!
-
I've decided to continue my Austen fixation, and I'm watching BECOMING JANE. Nice to see Ian Richardson. This must be one of the last things he did before his death.
-
The name "Grayson Hall" always makes me feel like we're talking about some stately, magnificent theater, similar to the way I feel about the name "Kelli Arena," the reporter on CNN.

Lost in Austen - the new CD of songs from musicals based on Jane Austen's work

My Subways are for Sleeping CD, which I bought in BK's big sale last year (or was it the year before?), is #769. I didn't know until today that it was a limited edition.

The current leader of my book group has given us an assignment:
“Be thinking of some authors that you might be interested in reading either slightly older like Hemingway or more Modern, like Updike”
Any suggestions?
If they choose any of the Updike RABBIT books I will not re-read them. Disliking them as I do, what are the chances I will like any of his other novels?
-
DR Jane - you can see what my group has read over the past 16 years at our website:

Good Evening!
I tried logging on after I got back from the gym, but our internet was acting up again, so... In any case...
I had a great workout today, really pushed myself. And survived! I'm just hoping I've stretched the lactic acid out of my muscles - I do not want to be sore tomorrow.

I like him. Did he write around Updike's time?

The Book Launch was very cool. The K2 Lounge at the Rubin Museum is a great space, and since they had a couple of events there tonight - including a sold out performance by Nellie Mackay - there was quite a good crowd there tonight. There was no formal book signing "process" due to the way the room was arranged - the table where the authors were was on one side, and the "press area" with the free "tastings" was on the other side of the room.
The "tastings" were also strangely distributed. The whole appetizer menu for the lounge was based on recipes from the new book. You could order them from the bar and servers, or if you were with the Book Launch, you could get them for free. However, the free ones consisted of two small trays with eight pieces of food on them and two dipping sauces. Even my friend from the publishing house was a bit confused by the set up. There was also a (cute) waiter standing by to make sure that only the people with the Book Launch partook of the free food. Of course, once those two trays of food were picked over, no other food was brought out. ???
-
Oh... And how about John Irving?
His, and Faulkner's, were the only two names I could think of-pathetic.
I did not like The World According to Garp!!. I liked the movie Cider House Rules, did not read the book. Do you have any special books of his to suggest?
-
The Book Launch
;D It took me half a second to realize this statement was not a response to my question.
-
I like him. Did he write around Updike's time?
Well, they're both still writing, so...
It's a good, long read, but I adore Helprin's "Winter's Tale".
-

Thank you.

They were giving out "free drink" cards to the members of the press who attended the Book Launch. -There were a few editors from "Gourmet", "Saveur", "Bon Appetit", etc. Well... The (cute) waiter, I guess, noticed me talking with some of the editors and my friend from the publishing house, and he eventually came up to me and asked if I wanted a cocktail. "Here's the listing of the special drinks for tonight. They're free tonight... -You're with the press, right?" Right! So, I tried something called a "Cherry Blosson Martini" which consisted of a couple different liqueurs and fruit juices. It was quite tasty... And as the 1 train pulled into the 50th Street station, and I began to stand up, I realized just how strong that drink was too! ;)
-
Happy belated birthday to The Vixter! Glad that you'll be joining us on a regular basis!
-
A Cherry Blossom martini sounds delish!
I am a mint julep fan! The head of the composition department when I was in music school used to come over on Friday afternoons and make them with fresh mint from our garden. Then my friends and I would climb out my bedroom window onto the porch roof and imbibe when it was nice out. Ahhhh...memories.
-
I ended up meeting my roommate, Jim, and some friends at Therapy for dinner. For a "special interest establishment", they actually serve some pretty decent food. Although, I guess if a "special interest establishment" did not serve good food, the "special interest" would make it known. ;) -And the waiter even honored our request to turn the music down since it was way too loud for anyone to carry on any sort of conversation - and to hear our orders.

Poor Sherlock! Things will get better.
I think I will name my new novel: The Longest Pee I Ever Saw
-
...but Deep Discount sent me this:

-
Wow, Nino looks just like Anita Ekberg.
-
First day at the CD shipping warehouse, no doubt.
Just be glad you didn't order Busta Rhymes.
-
You say "Niño", I say "Nino"...
And they won't send me what I ordered until they receive the wrong one back! Seems like since it wasn't MY fault, they'd just go ahead and send it.
-
vixmom - Wow, is that a real photo or was it photo-shopped? And can you make it for the "Cilla's-in-NYC" get-together tomorrow from 5:30 to 7:30?
-
DR CP and his wife Juliana used to always give a Kentucky Derby party when they lived in LA.....I wonder if they celebrate on location now that they are within a few furlongs of the actual event?

Speaking of animals, last weekend I had a Der B and SWW moment. I had cut the grass and left the gate open in the backyard. I went outside to call Elmore, and saw a big deer in the backyard! I immediately hung up on Elmore and called the boys. They got to see it, too, but it trotted off before I could get a picture. (I might have scared it off running to get the camera.)
That was the most exciting thing that has happened since we've been here!
-
So great to see you again edi!!!

Have fun DR VIXMOM.....

DR JOSE S PIANO must be watching some television or doing something fun.
-
You have to learn to tan skins? I usually sit outside in the sun.
-
The "boys" refers to my DH and our DF John, the Merchant-Ivory editor from NY. He has been passing through town for the last few weeks and usually spends at least one night here whenever he's in Atlanta. So it's been nice to see so much of him.
He did kind of commandeer my office and computer, though, which accounts for some of my truancy, plus I didn't want to be a rude hostess and spend too much time on the computer.
-
I think i've also mentioned that we have a snake at our house. We usually look for it but didn't see it last year.
This year, we have TWO snakes living in the tree outside my window. They both look smaller than the original, so I wonder if perhaps they are offspring.
-
DR JOSE S PIANO must be watching some television or doing something fun.
Watching TV - Check! -Although, my roommate is getting ready to go out dancing, so... Hmm...
-
Here's the original snake...much bigger than the new ones.
-
I watched the last of the documentaries on THE FIRE WITHIN DVD. It's a discussion of how the original book compared to the movie, and its effect on a young French actor who saw the movie on TV when he was 15.
-
What I could make outta a snake like that! I just have to look in my FREE booklet!
-
DR Nursie, I'm partial to these books:
T. Coraghessan Boyle: WATER MUSIC & WORLD'S END
Thomas Keneally: THE PLAYMAKER. one of my all-time favorite novels
Katherine Dunn: GEEK LOVE
-
Next I watched last night's MY NAME IS EARL. Eh. Not a lot of funny in this week's show.
-
THE CLOSER just wrapped their first week of shooting, so I should have dailies on Monday. The script is pretty good. The guest star we had previously discussed has a very big role in this episode!

Next, I watched last night's CSI. A kind of comedy outing for them. Yes, there were murders to be investigated, but a lot of jokes were made about people who turn up with green blood, there's an incineration that seems to be important and then that case (which ended up in a suit against the county) is left in the dust to continue investigating another crime.
CSI is definitely not the show it was three or more years ago.
-
THE CLOSER just wrapped their first week of shooting, so I should have dailies on Monday. The script is pretty good. The guest star we had previously discussed has a very big role in this episode!
July can't get here fast enough for me!
-
Next came tonight's GHOST WHISPERER. Not one of my favorite episodes. What on earth has Nikki Cox done to her lips? Well, I know what she's done, and she resembles nothing human now.
But I just didn't get quite the zing out of the show that I usually get.
-
MOONLIGHT was enjoyable, however.
I enjoyed Beth helping Mick out for a change. The two young paparazzi vampires were funny.
-
TWILIGHT, by William Gay, has been getting some good buzz around here as the next great Southern gothic novel. Stephen King listed it as his "book of the year". It was inspired by actual events that took place here in Georgia a few years ago.
-
I ended my evening watching last night's SMALLVILLE. A riff on IT'S WONDERFUL LIFE, it had some interesting moments.
-
That leaves me tomorrow with THE OFFICE and 30 ROCK to watch.
-
I watched the end of THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN on the USA network.
The last musical number was longer than I remembered it in the theatre or the version I've seen on cable. Wonder what the deal is with that?
-
Full frontal Friday DR JOSE
-
I'm working on a documentary right now about a Southern author named Julia Peterkin. She was one of the first women to win a Pulitzer, and she led a very interesting life!
-
At work, the feral cats know that Friday is "Wet Food Friday"...a little treat for them since everyone is gone over the weekend.
-
"A Prayer for Owen Meaney". :)
I love that book!
-
I'm thinking snake belt AND boots!
-
I love that book!
It's the Party Girl! ;D
-
Work tomorrow, so I suppose I should sleep a bit.

I agree MATTH - EARL wasn't in top form, but then again, it was kind of a transition episode and opened up a lot of possibilities.
-
Cilla and Ben
-
Wooooohooooooooooo
Photographic evidence exhibits A & B!
-
And C!
Great shirts! And nifty new spectacles on DR CILLA LIZ!
-
I had a lovely evening with Ben and Ant. We ate great comfort food (Ben had the meatloaf, Anthony and I had the chicken fried steak) and we talked and talked and talked until they kicked us out of the restaurant the we went to Ben and Ant's place and talked and talked some more. It was great fun!
-
Did you notice the lovely roses? They were fabulous
-
I am watching Nascar....which just goes to show you.....
-
Did you notice the lovely roses? They were fabulous
I was just about to ask about them.....such a beautiful COLOR!!! ;D
-
Ben said he got them... a week ago, I think. They were still quite lovely
-
Where has DR MBARNUM been today?
-
Ben said he got them... a week ago, I think. They were still quite lovely
Wow...they look right out of the garden!!! Or the box! :D
-
Our flowers are beginning to sprout through the soil, so hopefully we will have lots of color in our yard this summer.....fingers crossed.
-
Bed time.
For Bonzo.
-
Goodnight, Bonzo.
-
Great pictures! Thanks for sharing, DR Cilla. Always heartening to see how well folks are doing since we see only avatars and typed words day after day.
-
I agree MATTH - EARL wasn't in top form, but then again, it was kind of a transition episode and opened up a lot of possibilities.
I agree. It was a transition coming after all those weeks in a coma. And I always love to see gay Kenny, too.
I hope she knows that if she gets Earl, she also gets Randy.
-
Jose, did you get my IM
-
Thanks Matt, you are most welcome.
-
Writing is all done, so I think it's time I headed downstairs to bed.
Good night!
-
Time for me to get some sleep.
Night
-
Thanks for the photos, Cillaliz. Enjoy the birdwalk tomorrow! Make a list!
-
DR Jane, I think you should try Irving's SETTING FREE THE BEARS.
-
Laura, thanks for asking: Following the very filling big tax-office end-of-tax-season party at the fabulous Carmine's (chicken piccata, veal marsala, great ceasar salad, and penne a la vodka; no chocolate cake, but there were chocolate covered cannoli), I waddled over to the tax office eight blocks away and worked a little more, looked again to see if better reasonable aisle tickets for Al Gore at Radio City had become available (they had not), came home to a scrumptious shrimp cocktail followed by Berkshire pork baby back ribs with an Asian Marinade sauce, got a few more birthday calls (including one from Edisaurus!!!) during which I half-watched the CBS TV line-up.
-
Is Asian Marinade sauce redundant?
-
My goodness, what a lot of lovely posts I just had to read. Now I must write the notes, and then write some technical notes and just a couple of actor notes that have to do with technical things, including one thing we're going to change before we open tonight. The final preview was a full house, a very receptive audience and the show played very well, save for a few slow spots in act one, which will hopefully tighten.
