Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in a capsule, and now it is time for you to post until the capsule cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PURFLE!
-
No one in the jernt but me - not even Dino.
-
I'm listening to a divoon CD - the Singers Unlimited with Robert Farnon and the Orchestra.
-
Well, if the first CD you fully produced was Liz Callaway's Loesser album, then that's the first one I bought. And played and played and played. It's gorgeous.
And I think I own just about every other bk CD, before and since then.
Great notes again today, bk! :)
-
Lovely eagle, DR Jane! Thanks for sharing.
-
A hearty HHW welcome to our new DR Sam!!!!!! :D
-
Good morning all.
-
I have much work to do before I sleep
-
I have a meeting at 11am
-
I have Charles Stewart Mott (no relation to apples).
-
I have Program-Related Investments to key as well.
-
And I am craving a bagel with cream cheese. I haven't had one for months. I will try not to succumb
-
I may go out and get coffee though. I did have a cup at home with my oatmeal (with a banana and strawberry).
-
There is nothing like a good cup of deli coffee. Starbucks, who needs 'em!
-
One guest is viewing my ramblings
-
Enjoy one guest.
-
I'm going to the theatre tonight. I'm seeing Impressionism. with Jeremy Irons and Joan Allen.
It's the story of an international photojournalist and a New York gallery owner whose unexpected brush with intimacy leads them to realize that there is quite an art to repairing broken lives.
The rest of the cast includes Tony Award® nominee André De Shields, Michael T. Weiss, Aaron Lazar, Margarita Levieva, Hadley Delany, and four-time Academy Award® nominee Marsha Mason as Julia.
I'm very glad Larry enjoyed Blithe Spirit. His feelings mirror mine.
-
I scared the guest away. Now it's just me.
-
I can't do this until Post 29 folks.
-
I haven't had this long a frenzy in a long time.
-
Plums are usually purple but could they every be PURFLE?
-
And on that note I will go get some coffee from the deli around the corner from the office. $1.35 for a large coffee. $1.10 for a small coffee. Other delicatessens in the same area charge $1.50 for a large and $1.25 for a small.
-
I do love Unsung Irving Berlin (the complete 2-CD set).
-
I was up and on line at 5:14am but I was not at HHW. I was checking my e-mail and eating my oatmeal and perusing the New York Times.
-
My bowl is washed. My coffee mug is washed and when I return home for lunch I will have clean dishes in the drainer.
I may have a salad for lunch or a smoked chicken sandwich with carrotts and grape tomatoes.
-
I made a new pot of iced tea last night before snuggling down with a biography of the Barrymores. I'm still in the early years but it's quite a good read. Miss Ethel was the star before either of her brothers.
-
I also seem to remember hearing this but Winston Churchill was quite taken with Miss Barrymore and pursued her every time she came to London. The problem was he wanted her but he also wanted her to retire from the stage and become a quiet politician's wife. That was not in the cards for Miss Barrymore.
-
TD is here. Will he stop me before I get to Page 2???
-
Not if I can help it ;)
-
And here we are.
My work here is done, for the time being.
-
Whew!!!
-
OK, TD, your turn.
Bye for now.

Some notes from today’s notes
I just had to go and listen to the songs that are mentioned in today’s notes.
1) Joey, Joey, Joey is one of my favorite tracks from the Liz Callaway album. (My top favorite is My Heart Is So Full Of You).
2) Multitudes of Amy is also one of my tracks from Unsung Sondheim. I think Michael Rupert was a great choice and always wondered why more singers didn’t pick up this song. I’ve heard Sondheim’s demo and it is there and Larry Moore did a wonderful job in the orchestra. Jamie Anderson on the Sondheim Celebration as good singer he is, the arrangement slows down the song and makes it almost a snooze fest. Rupert’s is the best.
3) I like to mention that Toonful was popular overseas, especially in Japan. As well as the other two in the series.
4) If you thought When Time Ran Out was long at 109 minutes trying watching it as The Day the World Ended (It’s original title) at 141 minutes! One critic called the film “When Ideas Ran Out” Terrible film and very studio bound and awful visual effects.
-
Good morning, all! After I signed off, I watched the TOP CHEF reunion and trned off the tv around 12:57. The alarm went off at 6:30, I nodded for 30 minutes and then decided it was time to move. I have to be out of the house around 9 for my walk down to 54th and 12th to Carroll Studios. I'm going to the Encores!orchestra reading of FINIAN'S RAINBOW and very much looking forward to hearing it.
BK, the notes were a real nostalgia blitz! The only spot where my memory disagrees with you is the end of "Multitudes of Amys," which I figured out because the MD couldn't. What I can't remember about that now is whether you or he told me that BK wanted an extended ending!
I need more coffee.
-
TOD
If you produced STAGES, then it was the first one. If not.....
It just might be Anastasia Affaire as it was the closest thing to a cast recording of ANYA available at that time.
but for sure it was Unsung Sondheim followed Liz Callaway's album.
I heard about many of the these recordings from the late lamented quarterly SHOW MUSIC. I own every issue there was. From a typed double sided Xerox printed newsletter, to booklet form and finally a glossy magazine.
-
I do love Unsung Bernstein (the complete 2-CD set).
Either DR Ben meant to type "Sondheim," or someone's been holding out on us!! ;)
-
Good Morning all.
-
~~~~~HEALING VIBES FOR TD'S MUM~~~~~~~
-
I do not know which was the first BK produced cd I bought, bu the first one I owned was a gift from former DR WFO - Jeepers, Creepers
-
DR MICHAEL S - I think you asked this question yesterday - I know one of the names Constance Moore, an actress at Paramount for many years. She replaced Frances Farmer in Preston Sturges' comedy Take a Letter, Darling. She sang a lot in her movies for Universal and Republic, so my guess is that she did some recording.

It is supposed to be warm today.....hurray. I soon I shall be on my way to the grocery store, for the first time in three weeks. Much to buy.
-
I do love Unsung Bernstein (the complete 2-CD set).
Either DR Ben meant to type "Sondheim," or someone's been holding out on us!! ;)
Actually what I meant to type was Unsung Berlin! It's early! I changed the original post so now people can be confused ;)
-
I have an 11 Am appointment with the swallowing therapist today
-

Actually I think it was Unsung Irving Berlin which was the only 2CD set that BK recorded in the Unsung Series. There was also a "highlight" version.
And I am anxiously looking forward to more recordings by Billy Waring whose only album this was.
-
Have fun at the theatre tonight Ben!
-
Ben beat me to it! ;D
-
TOD:
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........could be one of two.....
Unsung Musicals with "Disneyland" and "New Words"
OR
The Adventures of Superman Music From the Original 1950's Television Series
After that, I bought many CD's just because Mr Kimmel's name was on the back, including Prime Time Musicals, Drat the Cat!, and Titanic the Ultimate Collection.
-
Thank you for th theatre report from yesterday Elmore!
-
Off to the store.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... and I probably won't be posting again today until my lunch break. It's gonna be a long day for better or worse. Ever hopefully, for the better.
Time for me to warm up my voice (since I'm speaking this morning) and fingers and brain.
Laters...
-
Right now I am listening to
Music for the Royal Fireworks: I. Overture by Handel
I have forgotten what a wonderful piece of music this is!
And then I am off to work
-
I am feeling a little dozy so I think I am goingt o set my alarm for 10 Am and see if I can geta little nap before I have to head out
LATERS!
-
Have a great day Jose!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! See you all later!

And the word of the day is: PURFLE!

-
Good morning. That is all. So far.
Except --
Welcome to our newest Dear Reader -- DR Sam!!
-
I do love Unsung Bernstein (the complete 2-CD set).
Either DR Ben meant to type "Sondheim," or someone's been holding out on us!! ;)
I think he meant the "Unsung Berlin" recording on 2 discs.
-
DR Sam, welcome! Let us know all about you. How did you discover us?
It's time for my walk to the reading. I hope it isn't too bad out because the walk down West End Avenue means no buses, no taxis, and if I get really cold, I'm stuck. I need a St Bernard on my trail.
-
I see my usual 5 minutes in the morning reading BK's notes will not work today. I'll have to post again when I get home from work. I'm at Starbucks every Saturday and Sunday morning. Black coffee only, they look at me rather amused. I have 3 within walking distance of my new apartment. Meet BK at LACC, at one of the season plays, the box office simply said " if you like theatre ,talk to that guy over there" and we did. Next came the summer cabaret series at LACC , say every show and then of course "The Brain from Planet X". See you later.
-
can you fix mistakes once you hit post ? I need to really read this twice.
-
Thursday morning greetings! This morning I'm having my hair cut and this afternoon I'm taking my aunt to pick up the new glasses she ordered a week ago today. I haven't told her about the difficulties I've had with mine.
-
Welcome new DR Sam!

Sure! :) Just scroll back up to your original post and click "Modify"
-
TOD - my first BK-produced CD was Liz Callaway's Loesser, which was sent to me by orchestrator DR Elmore. I will have to take it in the car today, especially to listen to my favorite tracks, "What're You Doing New Year's Eve?" and "Brotherhood of Man."
-
~~~~FEEL BETTER VIBES FOR DR GINNY~~~~~
Thanks for that, DR Vixmom. My cold has not developed, so I'm thinking it's just allergies.
-
TOD: I remember that the first BK work we heard was "Toonful" which DR Sandra checked out of the library. We both thought it was great.
I don't have any idea of the first cd or tape we bought. I remember looking at one cd I really liked, then looking at another and then noticing that my favorites all were produced by Bruce Kimmel.
-
I'm loving the stroll down memory lane, BK. But with your whole life passing before our eyes, I hope you're not dying or anything. If not, more tales of yore, please!
I don't recall my first BK-produced album. I know I had several Bay Cities and Vareses when I began noticing this name Bruce Kimmel on all the CDs. I then started to seek out Bruce Kimmel-produced CDs, knowing that the name stood for quality and taste.
We actually "met" years before we really met. You were once in Malcolm and Christine's cramp little bookstore in their old location (with a lovely young companion). Either Malcolm introduced us or your name was dropped and I introduced myself and mentioned that I was a fan of your CDs. You graciously accepted the compliment of a fan, went about your purchases and I, mine.
It was, of course, years later, that I was in Malcolm and Christine's at their new location and you were giving a reading of Benjamin Kritzer and the seeds of a friendship were sown.
-
DR MICHAEL S - I think you asked this question yesterday - I know one of the names Constance Moore, an actress at Paramount for many years. She replaced Frances Farmer in Preston Sturges' comedy Take a Letter, Darling. She sang a lot in her movies for Universal and Republic, so my guess is that she did some recording.

One of the more unusual things I have in my Farmer collection is a set of PR pics from Take a Letter, Darling, with FF still listed as a cast member.
-
Good morning!
Still a bit nippy outside but warming up into the 50s today. And it's bright and sunshiny blue, so a nice March day.
-
My first Kimmel-produced recording was CHICAGO on Bay Cities. FORUM followed soon after.
If you want to discount those, then it was definitely UNSUNG SONDHEIM which for many years was my favorite Kimmel produced CD. I loved many of the UNSUNG and LOST albums, but UNSUNG SONDHEIM and its "sequel" SONDHEIM AT THE MOVIES remain two my two favorites and unquestionably the most played.
-
On TV Tonight!™
NBC - comedies, ER
CBS - SURVIVOR, CSI, ELEVENTH HOUR
ABC - UGLY BETTY
FOX - AMERICAN IDOL, HELL'S KITCHEN
USA - BURN NOTICE (season finale)
-
Yep, WHEN TIME RAN OUT was prophetically named: it was the last nail in the coffin for disaster pictures. They've come back into vogue in the years since CGI came along, but it was the last of its kind for a long time.
I know I had certainly grown tired of them.
-
My work project today will be the Blu-ray release of PINOCCHIO, and I can't wait to watch it.
I took out my old DVD a month or so ago and watched, and it was a fine transfer for the early years of DVD, but I'm certain the Blu-ray (and the regular DVD which is also included in the Blu-ray case) will constitute a big upgrade in picture and sound quality. The Blu-ray has the restored mono sound and a DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 encoding!
-
Pinocchio had been re-released in theatres around the time that I was 5 or 6, and I insisted on naming our first family cat "Figaro." :)
-
DR Jose, i put spoiler space last night because i didn't want to take the chance i might spoil the show for somebody. Even if i didn't give specifics, i'd rather people still have the option to read or not.
Btw, can you tell me how to better hide my spoilers so that the words don't jump out?
-
RE: last night's IDOL and the selection for the wildcard show tonight.
*
*
*
I was really unhappy with the selections. I am okay with 4 guys and 4 girls going through (not sure if they did that on purpose). But I thought Group 3 was strong. And they only selected one from that group. They took 4 from group 1 and 3 from group 2. So basically the people from the first group who sucked all got through because of their potential. I am okay with the judges thinking about potential (maybe they just had a bad night and a bad song). But only 1 person from the last group??? And of all the people they chose tatiana. I cannot stand her and was thankful i would never have to see her again. I'm still hoping they don't choose her. But if they choose 2 girls (as i suspect) then one could be her. Uggh! I really hope they chose megan. And i think a lot of people are suspecting anoop (sp?) will be chosen.
-
My son also loved Pinocchio. In fact, it was one of his first words: Yo-ko-kio. I haven't seen it in years.
-
Yo-ko-kio.
I believe that's the version about the Beatle wife who wanted to be a real musician.
(Meow).
-
I guess I need to head downstairs and get cleaned up for my lunch out today with friends. I was just on the phone with my friend Hal and tried to persuade him to join us as well (a group of four would be a lot of fun), but he had errands to run and no time for a leisurely lunch.
WBBL.
-
I loved Pinocchio as a youngen. I took its message to heart--that no matter how bad you are or how much you disobey, things always work out in the end (and sometimes you even come out ahead!)
-
elmore, I think you were THERE when the ending of Amys was figured out, but I definitely remember shoving the MD off the piano bench when he wouldn't even put his hands on the keyboard (playful shove, not serious shove) and playing what I heard in my head. You, of course, orchestrated it and probably wrote it down, but my memory of that day is quite vivid and always makes me laugh.
-
I'm up, I'm groggy, the sky is blue, and I can do the long jog just as soon as I have no more grog.
-
WELCOME LONG TIME LURKER, & NOW A DR, SAM!!!
DR Sam do you have any pets?
-
TOD:
1st CD "A Broadway Christmas"-- still a favorite
2nd CD "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile"
"Prime Time Musicals" may have been next or "Best of Cabaret." At any rate my next CD's were Liz Callaway's and the one by Mary Cleere Haran. I had bought "Toonful" for my niece (and she loved it), but I never got a copy for me.
At some point right around there, things really began to gel when I got one of the "Lost in Boston" CD's that had Karen Morrow singing what I still think is the best song from "Queen of the Stardust Ballroom" and Guy Haines singing "Evening Star."
-
WELCOME LONG TIME LURKER, & NOW A DR, SAM!!!
DR Sam do you have any pets?
Does a daughter count?
-
I have an 11 Am appointment with the swallowing therapist today
I hope it really happened this time.
-
~~~~FEEL BETTER VIBES FOR DR GINNY~~~~~
Thanks for that, DR Vixmom. My cold has not developed, so I'm thinking it's just allergies.
That is good to hear. I too am pondering if I am having mild allergies or the slight beginnings of a cold. Knowing me, I'm going with mild allergies.
-
Bruce, a daughter does not count, it just saves me from asking my second question. :)
-
Hi, I was E&T for the morning, and possibly will be doing returns most of the afternoon. So I'm late welcoming new DR Sam!!!
-
Welcome New D(ear) R(eader) Sam!
-
I don't know which BK produced CD was the first that I owned. I have "The Anastasia Affaire" and a couple others from Bay Cities and I think I bought it new. I also remember when both "Unsung Sondheim" and "Liz Callaway Sings Frank Loesser" were released. I instantly fell in love with both of those. I did get many of BK's recordings, but I don't have every single one...many, but not all.
I hate to admit it but it wasn't BK's name that I first noticed on all the CDs that I loved, it was the color of the spine. The cover art was all very different, but the same color was used on the side of every CD and it was very easy to identify which were from Varèse Sarabande. It was then that I realized that the producer of all these CDs was the same. Then I understood. :)
-
Off to work!
-
Can someone remind me: was it The Robe or Demetrius and the Gladiators where Victor Mature has that hilarious "fight" with the fake lion?
-
Never mind, it looks like it was actually Samson & Delilah.
-
Then I understood.
And somebody, somewhere earned another toaster.
-
TOD: I was in Naples, Italy, when I first discovered there was a "Bay Cities" label. I don't recall whether my first purchase was "Return to Oz" (via Intrada, with which I got some literature on other Bay Cities titles) or whether I saw "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" listed and ordered that one first. Either way, "A Funny Thing..." was my first BK-produced CD.
-
Yes DR JMK - Samson & Delilah......
-
I watched the last of my Crown International Pictures goodies last night.
Best Friends with Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galactica) was okay - The Sister In Law with Mr John Savage was very good. Everything else was typical of CIP.....
Malibu High - high school girl flunking all her classes loses her boyfriend to a rich rival so she does what is expected, becomes a prostitute giving favors to her teachers for good grades, and eventually leaving her first pimp (her grass connection who owns a groovy van) to work for a sleazier pimp with more hair on his back than Robin Williams - and then onto HIT WOMAN.....alas this is not a career trajectory that turns out well for her......in fact it is fatal. Poor Kim (Jill Lansing) never graduates from Malibu High.....but she doesn't flunk out!
-
There were some password issues with the lap top that had belonged to my brother who got it from his workplace when they updated their equipment. No one remembers the password, and I don't want to put a new hard drive in a ten year old laptop.....so.....
I bought the Natalie Wood Box and The Silver Chalice!!!
-
So...
What would YOU put in a HHW virtual time capsule?? :)
-
Back from the long jog and shall now go pick up DVDs.
-
Good Afternoon!
135 Auditions later... Lunch!
*It was a pretty good morning. No one "spectacular", but no train wrecks either.
-
Welcome to newest DR Sam!
-
And now I need to get ready for the 135 auditions this afternoon.
Laters...

Hey! We're "Pinocchio Pals"!

So...
What would YOU put in a HHW virtual time capsule?? :)
Are you nominating yourself?
-
Does anyone here remember a 1980s flick titled "Hunk"?
-
Hey! We're "Pinocchio Pals"!
The mind reels... ;)
-
Are you nominating yourself?
No.
But I think a pair of underpants and a can of Cherry Coke would be warranted.
-
HHW is very glitchy today. And not in a good way.
For the past hour, whenever I try to post a linked photo, I get the following error message:
Database Error: MySQL server has gone away
File: /home/haineshisway/smf/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 2904
-
I have no doubt that certain DRs are breathing a sigh of relief.
-
I know I hate it when my SQL server goes away.
-
TOD:
UNSUNG SONDHEIM was my first outside of the Bay Cities FORUM.
TOONFUL followed, which I bought at, of all places, Phar-Mor!
Then came UNSUNG MUSICALS, which led to a telephonic chat with Esther Monk and the esteemed BK.
My life hasn't been the same since.
-
Welcome New DR Sam!
-
Welcome to new DR Sam!
-
Phar-Mor!
The Phar-Mor in the Dell?
-
I met with the therapist. She didn't say a word about last time so I did not bring it up. However when I checked in at the receptionist desk after writing my name on the "checkin list" I stood there until teh receptionist acknowledged me. She said "If you wrote your name you can go st down in the waiting room" So I said 'Well last week I waited over an hour only to be told that the therapist forgot about me and went to lunch - so I want to be sure that you know I am here"
So she announced me to the therapist right away and I was taken in immediately
-
OK, TD, your turn.
Bye for now.
I was on the run this morning, so I couldn't take my turn. . .
I'll be playing pinochle tonight, so, I won't take a turn. . .
-
Phar-Mor!
The Phar-Mor in the Dell?
That's Phar-Mor in the Dale to you!
-
She had me eat some applesauce while she kpet her hands on my throat while I swallowed. She kept making me turn my head in different directions while I swallowed. Then she had me do it while drinking water.
I have to go back tomorrow morning and have a radiation film done while I eat something.
-
Does anyone here remember a 1980s flick titled "Hunk"?
Afraid not
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093231/
I don't think I ever saw this
-
Glad to hear Ginny is feeling better!
-
How odd, DR vixmom. I hope something in all of this helps you! :-\
And good for you for sticking up for yourself with the receptionist! :)
-
Dale
How many syllables? :D
-
Has anyone seen DR DAW's SQL server?
-
How odd, DR vixmom. I hope something in all of this helps you! :-\
And good for you for sticking up for yourself with the receptionist! :)
Apparently the test is to make sure that the food is going into my stomach not my lungs. If all turns out OK in the filming then I guess she will give me a list of foods I can start trying to eat.
I was quite pleased that the applesauce tasted good. I di find it difficult to swallow though so I think I still have some time to go before I can be "can free"
-
Vixmom, you're a much more forgiving soul than I am. I would have met her with some sort of catty comment like, "How was lunch?'
-
Or, "Sorry if my therapy got in the way of your lunch plans last week."
-
Or, "% )():S:L @#_#)*, you @#*#)# @)%@%)#(*%
-
Or, "% )():S:L @#_#)*, you @#*#)# @)%@%)#(*%

Somehow, if the applesauce was going into your lungs, I think you would know it.
-
Vixmom, you're a much more forgiving soul than I am. I would have met her with some sort of catty comment like, "How was lunch?'
Last year I would have ripped her a new one. Somehow having gotten and beaten cancer has changed my perspective on things. Everything else seems small in comparison and I just don't get upset.
It's not like I have to talk myself out of being upset, I just don't get that adrenilan rush and temper surge- So I guess that's another blessing this disease has brought to me!
-
Somehow, if the applesauce was going into your lungs, I think you would know it.
That was my thought as well but apparently there can be some "minor leakage" which I won't immediately notice. I was just surprised by how much work it was to swallow a small amount of applesauce, it was less than a teaspoon and you would have thought I was trying to swallow a whole steak.
-
Or, "% )():S:L @#_#)*, you @#*#)# @)%@%)#(*%
I'm shocked, you hear, shocked!

I did drive myself and then I stopped by my folks' house (theyl ive about a mile away from me) and visted with them for an hour or so. It was nice to be out of the house!

Had a marvelous lunch and laughed a lot. There was also much talk about LOST and '24.' Grand.
-
Within 90 days from today, I will know whether my marriage is still valid. I wonder if California will refund all the fees I paid to them?
-
When I got in, I immediately watched PINOCCHIO. It's beyond spectacular in terms of color, sharpness, and SUCH detail. I couldn't believe I noticed so many things I had NEVER noticed before.
The DTS-HD MA 7.1 sound is just fine, but after the first part of the film is very noticeably surround, it's like they kind of forgot about it (or maybe they just didn't have sound stems to use) because it collapses into the center channel for much of the film. Once Monstro enters the picture, then the sound really picks up again, and there is low rolling bass that gives that entire sequence real menace.
-
Last night DR Sam had reminiscences about Jr High and the non-hard-core academic courses like cooking, sewing, wood shop, auto shop, printing, dancing (remember square dancing class?).
Well, in two brief years in Jr High, I had Wood Shop, Electricity Shop, Print shop (which involved hand setting printing presses), Mechanical Drawing, Folk Dancing (square, Polka, Hora, etc) and the ever-valuable JBT (Junior Business Training). IN JBT we learned letter writing, checking account maintenance, menu planning, shopping to a budget (which included evaluating the food store ads in the newspapers) and shopping for life insurance. Ginny will be glad to know we also had a compulsory class in Library Utilization. My only exposure to the “girls” classes came when I was in desperate need to have a button reattached to a jacket – a counselor sent me to the sewing teacher who proceeded to insist I take a seat in the class which was underway while she directed me in how to attach a button (actually, as I learned, there are two different ways, depending on how much play the button requires (shirts none, heavy jackets, a lot).

Then, I started the film again to get the Cine-Explore experience which is the picture-in-picture commentary with lots of windows opening to show storyboards, live action guide footage, stills, clips from the Disney TV show with the various animators talking about their work on the picture.
You get the audio commentary on the regular DVD but these pop-up windows with all this other stuff is exclusive to Blu-ray.

I wish that they had announced that LOST was going over last night. For some reason my tv did not know (it was not in the guide). And i forgot to add the extra minutes (i usually do but have to do it manually if the tv's guide does not know it is going over).
Luckily the show was already online. So i was able to see the last 2 minutes!
-
I thought about DR JRand filling his screen when I tried the next bonus feature which is called "Disney View" Instead of black bars on the sides for this 1.33:1 movie, you can pick this and get drawn panels which match the motifs of the various scenes so it extends picture elements to the sides of the widescreen TV.
It works OK as long as the camera is still, but I found it distracting whenever the camera moves and those panels remain stationary. I'd never want to watch the movie using it, but I'm sure others would have no trouble with it.

Within 90 days from today, I will know whether my marriage is still valid. I wonder if California will refund all the fees I paid to them?
I still can't believe that this is really happening. Has New York State already acknowledged your marriage as valid?
-
When I got in, I immediately watched PINOCCHIO. It's beyond spectacular in terms of color, sharpness, and SUCH detail. I couldn't believe I noticed so many things I had NEVER noticed before.
Thank-you; with your blessing, I now feel comfortable replacing our LD.

The DTS-HD MA 7.1 sound is just fine, but after the first part of the film is very noticeably surround, it's like they kind of forgot about it (or maybe they just didn't have sound stems to use) because it collapses into the center channel for much of the film. Once Monstro enters the picture, then the sound really picks up again, and there is low rolling bass that gives that entire sequence real menace.
I always thought the workshop sequences were wonderful. I would love to see them in HD.

I can't imagine many people being disappointed with the way this looks. It's GORGEOUS. I've always felt this and BAMBI were the masterpieces of the first ten years of feature animation, and it certainly looks to be a masterpiece in this incarnation.

I guess i will flip back and forth tonight between Survivor and Idol.

Yep, my favorite part of the movie when all the clocks start to chime 9 in their own unique ways. Every one of them different and clever and hilarious. And then Ghepetto says, "I wonder what time it is?" Great capper.

I'll be working on the second disc of PINOCCHIO (where most of the bonus features are) when I go back down. Not sure what else I'll be able to watch tonight apart from UGLY BETTY (which I'll record and watch later in the evening.)

When the Vixter was in 6th and 7th grade in middle school (or maybeit was 7th and 8th grades) she had mandatory shop class for half the year and what I would term a home ec class the other half of the year. It was mandatory for boys and girls.
I know they did some sewing, some cooking, and wood shop stuff.
Back when I was in high school I wanted to take wood shop but I was not allowed as it was open to boys only. I refused to take the home ec classes on prncipal and ended up filling in my schedule with extra English electives
-
When I was in school, the boys took shop and the girls took home ec. They didn't offer either when Sandra was in school. They are too busy now teaching them how to take the standardized tests now (and they are not passing).
-
We used to do square dancing in gym class inthe elementary grades but it stopped by time I got to 6th grade or so. I don't think the Vixter ever was instructed in square dancing at school. But all her gym classes have always been co-ed. When I had gym the classes stopped being co-ed at 5th grade.
I'll have to ask her about the square dancing

THINGS I LEARNED FROM WATCHING 16 MOVIES RELEASED BY CROWN INTERNATIONAL PICTURES:
1. All high school seniors are at least 22 years old.
2. No matter what is happening or how many people are around, if there is a telephone in the shot, it will ring.
3. No one who owns a convertible ever puts up the top.
4. If you put blue cellophane on your sliding glass doors, everyone will think it's night time.
5. If you are a female, you must remove ALL of your clothes to wash your face and/or brush your hair.
6. The girl with the smallest breasts will die first.
7. Men's plaid suits should be double breasted and worn with pastel shirts and BIG KNOTTED ties.
8. Beautiful women shower at least six times a day....especially when they have company or are expecting gentleman callers ANY minute.
9. There is no such thing as inappropriate music. All music fits any situation.
10. At least one person appearing in a supporting role will have the same last name as one of the producers, and this person will wear the BEST clothes in the movie.

TOD - my first BK-produced CD was Liz Callaway's Loesser, which was sent to me by orchestrator DR Elmore. I will have to take it in the car today, especially to listen to my favorite tracks, "What're You Doing New Year's Eve?" and "Brotherhood of Man."
Two I didn't do. Thanks, DR Ginny! ;)

Does anyone here remember a 1980s flick titled "Hunk"?
DR MBarnum might.
-
I can't think of a better way to while away a day than listening to a 30-piece orchestra play the score of FINIAN'S RAINBOW. The fact that Rob Berman makes music on the podium rather than just beating time, as several MDs I know are prone to do, only made the event more glorious. I think the production is going to be good and I can't wait to see it.
Now, where the hell's the check Citibank was supposed to mail me on Monday? I guess tomorrow I need to kick ass at the bank.

Then I understood.

Went over to Jery's and sat for ninety minutes - eating a turkey and bacon sandwich and fries, and proofing about thirty-five pages. I have to say it, this is my favorite of the Hofstetter books, mostly because of its milieu and the fact that aside from best friend Billy, she only interacts with older people in this book. I haven't looked at this since finishing it, really, and it's holding my interest, I really like the characters, and it's pretty funny and there is a LOT of rain and a LOT of food in this book, all good things.

Listening to CDs. I should be seeing a draft of the new releases on the site, which I'll then approve and we'll be live in the morning.

He also, along with all my other past high school friends it seems, has gained 300 pounds since the 80s.

I'm going to the theatre tonight. I'm seeing Impressionism. with Jeremy Irons and Joan Allen.
It's the story of an international photojournalist and a New York gallery owner whose unexpected brush with intimacy leads them to realize that there is quite an art to repairing broken lives.
The rest of the cast includes Tony Award® nominee André De Shields, Michael T. Weiss, Aaron Lazar, Margarita Levieva, Hadley Delany, and four-time Academy Award® nominee Marsha Mason as Julia.
I'm very glad Larry enjoyed Blithe Spirit. His feelings mirror mine.
Michael T. Weiss is on stage in New York and I am still in Tacoma?

BTW, re: AMERICAN IDOL (i'm writing this before tonight's show even starts).
We were talking about if they would choose 2 girls tonight (to try to even out the numbers). But i wonder if they will also have to consider other factors.
They don't have that much minority representation so far. Only one black person out of 9. And on spanish person.

Since this is mostly a theatre group, so that I fit in, this is my short as possible history. First live performance I remember is the "Four Seasons" at the Coconut Grove , Jr. High School graduation dinner with my friend and her parents. Then the late 60's/early 70's (rock n roll boyfriend) everyone had a VW bus and 20 or more of us would all go to concerts, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Blue Cheer, "Hair" at the Aquarius Theatre. Late 70's/early 80's (new boyfriend told me I was really tone deft) season tickets for the Music Center, LA Phil, UCLA, learned not to fall asleep at the ballet or opera. Mid 80's "Chorus Line" at the Shubert Theatre, Chick Corea, Santana. Late 80's/90's/early 2000's, mostly Jazz, takes a year for me to listen to all the cd's, Cinegrill and clubs on the Redondo Beach Pier. Since 2002 I just buy what I like , mostly world music, (and Kritzerland and anything BK produced) and try to see at least one or more live performance a month. In LA a lot is still affordable and some even free. Last month was , Culture Clash, Vomit, Taylor Negron, and About Production's young theatre works. hope spelling and grammar are ok.

No pets, I killed all our fish, our cat moved to the neighbors, and I'm afraid of dogs. A dog punctured an artery in my arm when I was 2 or 3. I just hang out with my hairdresser's dog next door when I need to be near a pet that really cares about me as his friend. Working on a picture that is somewhat OK. Maybe from when I was 18 or 20 and in VW buses with guys in long hair?

DR Sam I'm glad you aren't afraid of all dogs. People are shocked to learn I was afraid of large dogs as a child. Odd, since only a small dog ever bit me. A few too many times my small self ended up between our miniature/toy Poodle & a large dog that intended harm to our little dog.
I eventually grew some & learned how to read dogs. The combination has made life more relaxing. I really feel for people who are afraid of dogs & try to watch out for them when we walk down the street with our 107 pound dog.

Good Evening!
Day one - 270 auditions - done, and just two more day (another 540 auditions) to go!
Whew!
*But that's a "good" Whew! The anxiety and stress level seemed really low today among the auditionees, and that made all the difference in the world in regards to how the pacing of the day felt. In fact, when we broke for lunch at 1:00, I thought it was only Noon. -And that was a good thing, a very good thing. And the afternoon session went by "fast" too. :)

As for the Topic of the Day...
For some reason, I'm thinking Judy Kuhn's "Just In Time" album was my first BK-produced CD I ever bought. -At least it's the first I remember buying. But it might have been "Unsung Musicals (I)" or "Unsung Irving Berlin". -Strangely enough, it took a few years to "catch up" on "Unsung Sondheim" - mainly because I already had almost all of those songs in manuscript (sheet music copies) via the Library of Congress.

Oh, and managed to stumble into the "Presenter's Reception" after I was done playing. So, I was able to enjoy a free dinner and drinks. Well, I only had one beer, but it was still free. :)
-
...And, apparently, some big theatrical and TV agent stepped into the room today to observe the auditions. Afterwards, he talked with the President of SETC. She told me that he was SHOCKED to learn that I did not rehearse with each of the singers before I played for them. So, apparently, he's going to be contacting me once I get back to NYC.

And right now, I'm sitting down in the "Link@Sheraton" - which is the free internet hub for the hotel. It is only 9:10pm here right now, but my computer is still on NYC time, 10:10pm. However, I have a feeling I'll be heading to bed sooner than later. I got up early today, and had a good hour and a half to fully wake up before I had to give the audition briefing and start playing. Made all the difference in the world, and I'm going to try to do the same thing tomorrow.

Oh, Oh, Oh I think we're going to start getting Bravo on our cable. It's on there tonight, but it says you need a subscription. It doesn't show up in the channel list online yet, so I'm going to hope it will be functioning in the next couple days. That would be fabu

Now, where the hell's the check Citibank was supposed to mail me on Monday? I guess tomorrow I need to kick ass at the bank.
Based on news reports, Citibank probably couldn't afford the postage stamp. Before you make a trip to kick ass, make sure they're still in business!

Quite a busy evening for me.
I began finishing the bonus features on the PINOCCHIO Blu-ray set. I enjoyed the "making of" documentary because there wasn't one on the last PINOCCHIO DVD release.

Next I watched LIFE ON MARS from last night. An enjoyable episode. Too bad he's going to try to fit in and enjoy his time in 1973 as best he can since the show will be ending at the end of the season. I'm going to miss it.
-
Next, I watched today's AS THE WORLD TURNS to see the anticlimactic climax of the mystery story the boys have been involved with.
Hopefully the next story arc they get involved with will spur better drama.
-
I also loved UGLY BETTY tonight.
Cheyenne Jackson in the flesh and little Justin doing "Money, Money" on the streets of NYC. It doesn't get much better than that.

I did not watch the IDOL wild card show. I figured I will find out the three winners tomorrow (or tonight if I want to go searching for it). Honestly, it's not that important to me. I have a feeling the eventual winner has already been voted on by the public.

The Ghastly Love of Johnny X is slated to be released on May 1st. BK will be back on the big screen

My good friends Mustafa and Capt. Jason Faler were interviewed on NPR recently, telling of Jason and Mustafa's friendship and how his organization helped bring Mustafa and his family to the states.
Here is the link to the interview. I hope you will listen. It is fairly short.
Jason is one in a million for what he is doing to help the interpreters that helped he and his unit while in Iraq, and Mustafa is such a dear, dear person.

DR MattH - Ooh.. I think I would have liked to see Justin singing "Money, Money"... from MAMMA MIA! ;)

I don't know how that would be possible, since I spoke to the composer of the film last week and he told me that they were nowhere near completion.

Finished with my viewing and am now listening to a Mann and Weil compilation CD from overseas - delightful.
-
At long last page ten.

Went out and mailed packages and the contracts for Illya Darling, which is now MINE.

Heading down to bed now.
Good night!

DR Ben - My sentiments exactly! ;)
*I have a sneaking suspicion the running time of the show will increase five to ten minutes due to the new line readings. ::)

OK - Another day, another 270 auditions...
Goodnight

Pinochle over; my team won three out of four games.

The first game of the night, we gave them an A**hole in three hands.

Perhaps I'll take a nice hot shower.

Tomorrow looks like it will be a light day - although I will hopefully be printing out LOTS of orders for Anya and Rio - one can only pray!

Handy Man will be here around noon to hopefully fix the blinds in the dining room, which broke this morning. Other Handy Man will be here Saturday to replace a faulty valve outside.

"Of course" only if you play with the Ladies Auxiliary - or Navy snipes.

I learned double deck at the age of 8, outside of Annapolis at my great aunt and uncle's house. This continued to our relatives' house in Baltimore. By the time I was twelve, an Air Force couple had moved into the nike site next to our church and they were double deck players; our families would get together every weekend to play all-nighters. I was the fill-in for naps, snacks and the like.
So, maybe not snipes, but military-oriented teachers all taught me what I know.
I know that I'm not a big fan of Cut-throat pinochle. . .

But it also says "Because this project is categorized as being in production, the data is subject to change; some data could be removed completely. "

Gee, maybe BK will be "removed completely".

Well, my folks in Philly were part of a 6 couple pinochle club that travelled from house to house monthy - all single deck. (It took me years to realize that CC and Ginger was not a game requirement.)
Once I hit the Navy is was all double deck - or three player Auction. Of course once I went to college, it was Bridge all the way.

TOD: NEW GUY IN TOWN

Finished the notes - I'm having to start them quite early because of the length - but I'm having such a good time doing them it's worth it.

Thank you George. I found some slides that I think the camera store can transfer to CD, from a vacation trip. Maybe this weekend if I get the CD back. I'm trying to read everyone's posting, but I feel real behind on conversations more than 1 day old. I need to sit aside an hour every day to keep up. I could not find the modify button to fix errors in my first post.

Goodnight everyone, must be up at 5 am, and leave by 6:30, Friday's are busy at work.
I would love to have enough time to learn to purfle everything. First BK cd = New Guy in Town.
It always cheers me up after a bad day at work.

Welcome, Sam, our newest DR!

She had me eat some applesauce while she kpet her hands on my throat while I swallowed. She kept making me turn my head in different directions while I swallowed. Then she had me do it while drinking water.
I have to go back tomorrow morning and have a radiation film done while I eat something.
Did she make you talk while you were drinking water? Maybe you could take that act on the road!

Went out and mailed packages and the contracts for Illya Darling, which is now MINE.
Congratulations!
