Well, you've read the notes, the notes were filled with yahoos, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're overtired due to some yaMOOS annoying them.

And the word of the day is: GRIG!

RE Star Trek and Checkov
You will wait a long time for the character to make an appearance. His character didn't start to season 2 (Although supposedly he was on the ship, but he just wasn't seen.)

ASK BK
You have commented that the soundtrack to Breakfast At Tiffany's really isn't a soundtrack recording. Do you know if the recordings still exist and would you consider releasing it?

Wednesday.....I shall review my note from last night and make sure I do not make the same mistake tonight.
It is rainy here....and more storms predicted. I am working on the KISS ME KATE photo album and will post a link when all photos are uploaded.

The DD now has a habit of getting up with the cows (of which there are none in our neighborhood) and he wants out at about 4:30/5:00am every morning. I have no clue why or how it started. He'll troll around the yard for about 20 minutes and then come in and curl up on his bed in the living room and sleep all the live long day. Once I get up and let him out, most of the time it's too difficult to get back to sleep. So, here we are :)
Question for bk - I read that you are about to the the next official Kritzerland announcement, but have you un-officially announced it on the board yet?

Yamoos - weren't those characters in Jules Vernes book From Here to the Moon?

Oh, and it's raining.... oy

I keep reading about people destroying their Samsung Blu Ray players by doing updates.....so I am not going to think about updating until I buy a disk that doesn't work.
I watched ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN on the blue ray disk...the FX are even shoddier - if you can imagine that being possible - but everyone looks great and there is great detail in clothing and set dressing that one might not have noticed before.

Have the Yahoos met the Yokels?

I watched ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN on the blue ray disk...
Glad to see that they've gotten their priorities straight in deciding what to release first on Blu-Ray!

Good morning, all! I'm having breakfast in an hour with Jerome Moross' daughter Susanna. After that, a quick stop at a furniture store, and then back here to finish up the Act Two notes for THE MOST HAPPY FELLA. It took me about 6 hrs to type up the first half of Act Two yesterday, and I want to finish today so I can drop the score off to Music Theatre International tomorrow morning.
The Babes In Toyland score is now being perused by the Institute, and the first round of questions has arrived for the opening number. Tomorrow, I have a meeting with the chief editor of the Institute's CPE Bach project. which will be interesting.

DR Kerry posted yesterday:
I was moving some boxes in my laundry room yesterday and came across two pages from LIFE magazine (It could be LOOK, but the layout looks more like LIFE). It's a two page spread from 1961 on the effervescent starlets on TV that season: Judy Lewis (Outlaw), Lori Patrick (Tales of Wells Fargo), Gigi Perreau (Follow the Sun), Roberta Shore (Bob Cummings Show), Cynthia Pepper (Margie), Joan Patrick (Dr. Kildare), Mary Tyler Moore (Dick Van Dyke), Joan Freeman (Bus Stop) and Karen Kupcinet
(Mrs. G Goes to College).
Karyn Kupcinet name is actually spelled Karyn Kupcinet. Two years later she was found murderd in her Hollywood apartment November 25, 1963. The reason why I remember her name is because for many. many years when Weekly Variety was a "real" b & w newspaper there was on page 2 or 3 (I think) there was a memorial ad with her picture and years of her life. At the time I used to read Variety there was no internet and I never knew who she was. Years later I found out.
Her murder was never solved.
At the time she was seeing actor Andrew Prine. He was questioned and released amoung many other people including two other actors.
"By 1962 Kupcinet was living in Hollywood, had a relationship with actor Andrew Prine, and was getting positive reviews for her acting. However, the relationship was problematic, Kupcinet was abusing diet pills along with other prescription drugs, and she had been arrested for shoplifting.
The problems with the relationship were mainly due to Prine's objections to making the relationship exclusive. After the actress underwent an illegal abortion in July 1963, the relationship cooled and Prine began dating other women. In turn, Kupcinet began spying on Prine and his new girlfriend.[1] It was later determined that Kupcinet had sent threatening and profane messages, consisting of words and letters she had cut out of magazines, to Prine and herself." (From a 2004 article)
Prine's career suffered after this due to his association with the murder. He just became notice playing Helen Keller's brother in the film version of The Miracle Worker. He mostly worked in TV after that and made few theatrical releases none (IMHO) that were the quality of The Miracle Worker

ON THIS DAY IN THEATRE HISTORY:
The original production of Kander & Ebb's CHICAGO, directed by Bob Fosse, opened on this date in 1975 at the 46th Street Theatre.
I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around this one--I could swear that it opened earlier in the year. My mind must be playing tricks on me because I recall picking up the cast album (along with that of A CHORUS LINE) about a week after school let out for summer vacation.

Wednesday morning greetings! It's cool, but very humid, here in SW Ohio today. Richard is cleaning out the gutters (his least favorite job), but will only work for about another 45 minutes. That's when I have to leave to take my mom to the eye doctor and we don't like for Richard to be up and down on a ladder when no one else is home.
Our life is so exciting...

I won't be at the HHW Tony party because I'm going to the Tonys on Sunday.
A friend has a ticket she can't use (medical issues) and she offered it to me. I figure this is one of the only times I'll be able to go, even if I'm sitting in the first mezzanine of Radio City Music Hall, so that's one thing I can check off my list of things to do before I die.
Perhaps later in life Anthony will be nominated and we can go together.

FROM DR SAM Yesterday
On the bright side, once I had passed 50, I quit worrying about all the things I said I was going to do and hadn't. I'm much more relaxed that way. And some things still get done.
I always say keep within the speed limit and don't go over 50

How exciting for you, DR Ben! :) Hope we'll see you on the small screen!

re: the celebrity discussion from yesterday and re: lou diamond phillips vs spencer and heidi pratt.
I agree that Lou Diamond Phillips has had a career vs heidi and spencer who basically just star on a reality show. But when i was talking fame I was thinking more of who would have paparazzi following them. And that would be heidi and spencer.
It's weird because a lot of people have never heard of them. Yet they are in a lot of magazines.
The quote DR RonP mentioned yesterday (spencer storming off set and calling the head of NBC) is true. It happened on the show. And while spencer is spoiled, I can't figure out how much of that
was for show. On The Hills he is a villain. So i think he was playing villain on this show as well.
It was weird to watch. But since the Pratts have now left the show (i'm a celebrity) for good I will probably stop watching.
Btw, i don't necessarily think that just because someone did this show (i'm a celebrity) that it means their careers are washed up. They are doing it for charity. I don't think that someone like janice dickinson or Spencer and heidi needed to do this.
-
How exciting for you, DR Ben! :) Hope we'll see you on the small screen!
You will probably need your magnifying glass. I'll be taping it and then Anthony will watch after the fact and I will provide commentary.

Good morning!
I slept poorly last night and don't doubt for a second that a nap will happen at some point todaay. It's another one of those early summer days here with highs in the upper 80s, so it's not going to be cool or pleasant. Of course, I'll be inside for all of it.

Reading those Spencer Pratt quotes from I'M A CELEBRITY sounds just like the Spencer on THE HILLS. No difference. He is a first class jerk whose fifteen minutes of fame have gone completely to his head making him assume he's deserving of special treatment or that he's better than everyone else. For me, he is the most heinous kind of celebrity, famous for nothing except being famous. Gag!

Thanks, DR Laura. I will rest better tonight because I'm turning on the AC later this morning. It's just too uncomfortable and "close" not to have it. The South has such muggy hot weather. It's not a dry heat but a moist, debilitating kind of heat that just exhausts you without proper cooling.

I know the humidity is difficult to endure. Here, June is HOT and dry. We get our summer storms in July and August, when the temp goes down a little, but it gets humid after a rain. I turned on the AC when it hit 95, and it will stay on until October.

I've mentioned this before, but Mr Prine married an "actress" from Oxford OH, who played Kim MacAfee in a Miami University summer theatre production of BYE BYE BIRDIE I worked on. She was a trampy been-there-done-it high school senior at the time.

That works out right, Dan. Back in the 1970s, things like cast albums did come out around the same time a show opened. Ditto for film soundtracks. In fact, some soundtracks hit the street before movies premiered.

DR Ben - Just remember, you only have to check your camera if you tell them you have a camera. ;)
Have a great time at the Tony's on Sunday! *And I'm guessing you'll be there for the non-broadcast portion where all the Creative Arts awards will be given out.

After I took the PATH train back to Penn Station, I decided to go ahead and walk up Broadway to Columbus Circle before hopping on the A or D train back uptown to my apartment. Well...
Once I got up to Columbus Circle, I saw this:

Yes, I'll be there to watch all the "unimportant" awards. We have to be "in the building" by 6:15.

And this:
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3332/3591768021_8d492fe714.jpg)
They really seemed to get into it: sound effects, "stunts", even some spitting. They even did some moves where "The Force" was their weapon. There were six of "them", and, at one point, they even lined up in formation and went through a series of moves. From what I could tell, some of the one-on-one "fights" were based on particular fights from the "Star Wars" movies - complete with bits of dialog.
It was quite fascinating and entertaining, and by the time I finished watching them, it was about 2:00am... And by the time I got home... Sleep.

I'm looking forward to watching the "unimportant" Tony technical categories on-line as I did last year (for the first time).

I'm not sure if that is the Sony model I had (maybe mine was the 300?), but if it is, you won't have any Profile 2 capabilities, so no BDLive, etc. But maybe the 350 is a different model than the one I'm thinking of (I sold my Sony, so can't check).

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm back from New Jersey.

Possibly.
My new friend, Jerry - who I met on my return trip from Chicago - had a small gathering last night at his apartment, which he's still in the process of getting set up. It was part house-warming party and part "Welcome Jerry To the East Coast/New Jersey" party.
Jerry is living in The Beacon (http://www.thebeaconjc.com/) in Jersey City. The Beacon used to be a hospital, a BIG hospital, the New Jersey Medical Center, I believe. And the view from one of the rooftop decks, looks like this:

Of course I'd put it out. And the gates of Paramount are finally open in that regard, but we already know that there are problems because of the RCA album and their rights.

If you got the track with Audrey Hepburn singing "Moon River," You'd make Henry Mancini happy since he regretted using the chorus for the album and not having Audrey Hepburn sing on the album.

Since i have SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE at 8pm, I was gonna skip I'M A CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF HERE for good. The only reason i was watching was because of Spencer and Heidi (they walked off the show last night).
There were rumors that they were being replaced. But apparently they are returning to the show. I"m curious to see this latest stunt, so i guess i'll record it. I wonder if they are scripting this?

I think that the Tonys should show the creative awards, but i do get why they want to try to have more musical numbers. I liked it when they had the other awards earlier so those who wanted to watch could watch. I may try to watch on the internet this year.

Yes, I find the trends in this year's Tony broadcast unpleasant as well.
There was supposed to be a Jerry Herman medley sung by Ron Raines, Audra MacDonald and others that was arranged and orchestrated by Larry Blank before they cut it this week from the show.

Perhaps next year they should produce two separate shows. THE TONY'S - THE AWARDS SHOW and THE TONY'S - THE PERFORMANCES. Unfortunately, we all know what would happen. THE AWARDS SHOW's dismal ratings would be even lower than usual and THE PERFORMANCES wouldn't even win their time period.
Everyone talks about the show moving to PBS, but where do you find corperate sponsers who don't mind paying for a show that only a select group of people will ever be interested in watching? Maybe you should let NBC present the awards show - they have nothing to lose.

Betsy's Worst Nightmare Department: I had my first-ever "stress test" today, where I did an impossibly high angle incline treadmill test that increased in speed until I reached my target heartrate. Because I have been doing the treadmill at the gym regularly for the past year plus, it took quite a while to get me up to the target heartrate. I evidently have the heart of a 30 year old, encased in a somewhat more decrepit body. ;) So I'll be around for a while.
I also had weird dreams last night--I dreamt I was going in for an operation and Sasha Baron Cohen was my doctor. No joke. He kept poking shots full of novocaine and the like into me all over. It was most disturbing.

Back from the long jog. By the time I hit the two-mile mark the sky had turned completely gray. At the three-and-a-half mile mark it actually started to drizzle - needless to say, it was a brisker jog than usual, all the better to eat MORE Genghis Cohen food. It's still drizzling out. And, funny that, curiously quiet, construction-wise.

Does this mean you can stop wearing that "fancy" hat now? ;)

And many Thanks for the Birthday Wishes for my Mom.
Here's a pic (of a pic) of the birthday girl when she was a girl. She was in her mid-teens when this picture was taken - she's standing in the top row flanked by her brothers.

Has anyone else had one of these "stress tests"? I got a bit concerned when the nurse brought out a drill-like device that screws the electrodes into the skin (she doesn't puncture the skin, but got darned close a couple of times). I will say that, though she shaved me a tiny bit before placing some of the electrodes, when she ripped them off it convinced me I never, ever want a wax. :)
-
Well, I think I'm gonna head out for a quick walk before the rain and storms move in. Although, I don't think I'd mind getting caught in the rain and splashing in a puddle today. Nothing like some childlike frivolity. :)
Laters...

DR JMK, I've gone in annually for a stress test but, while i did get the shaving treatment, I was never approached with the drill-like device you describe.

Besides the obvious, what's the story with Miranda Sings?

It's currently drizzling here in Philly. Just enough to make sure the grass will be wet when I get home so I won't be able to mow the lawn tonight. Ah, well...

I was never approached with the drill-like device

Question???
I purchased a relatively new SONY BLU RAY DISC PLAYER(BDP S-350) Will I have trouble with playing any Blu Ray Discs from the past or the future ???
This is the model I purchased last last year. No worries, no problems.

JMK, I suspect that she was actually a CIA operative and was planting some sort of electronical device in you so as to watch, and eventually control, your every move.

Betsy's Worst Nightmare Department: I had my first-ever "stress test" today, where I did an impossibly high angle incline treadmill test that increased in speed until I reached my target heartrate. Because I have been doing the treadmill at the gym regularly for the past year plus, it took quite a while to get me up to the target heartrate. I evidently have the heart of a 30 year old, encased in a somewhat more decrepit body. ;) So I'll be around for a while.
I also had weird dreams last night--I dreamt I was going in for an operation and Sasha Baron Cohen was my doctor. No joke. He kept poking shots full of novocaine and the like into me all over. It was most disturbing.
This confirms it: You ARE a lesbian!!!
-
"The neighbor" next to the development has discovered his handy, dandy little Yamaha keyboard has the most incredible sampled scream as one of the patches. Said neighbor is testing it repeatedly as potential buyers show up. ;)
I think you'll need a little more than that to be "more annoyed by neighbor noise" than BK.

After what I've read on-line this morning ("Tony Squeezes Out Drama" (http://www.nypost.com/seven/06032009/entertainment/theater/tony_squeezes_out_drama_172343.htm)), I've decided that I will be boycotting the Tony broadcast this year.
Yes, I find the trends in this year's Tony broadcast unpleasant as well.
There was supposed to be a Jerry Herman medley sung by Ron Raines, Audra MacDonald and others that was arranged and orchestrated by Larry Blank before they cut it this week from the show.
Lucky you didn't do the orchestrations, or I would be outside Radio City Sunday night with a picket sign.
And I would be inside with a gun!
-
DR elmore3003, congratulations on discharging your duties.
***RE VIBE$***
to you and your bothers brothers!!!
I believe it is one brother and one bother.
This wins today's jackpot!

Question???
I purchased a relatively new SONY BLU RAY DISC PLAYER(BDP S-350) Will I have trouble with playing any Blu Ray Discs from the past or the future ???
I'm not sure if that is the Sony model I had (maybe mine was the 300?), but if it is, you won't have any Profile 2 capabilities, so no BDLive, etc. But maybe the 350 is a different model than the one I'm thinking of (I sold my Sony, so can't check).
DR JMK is wrong in this instance. The Sony 350 is a 2.0 player and fully capable of BD-Live plus the PiP capabilities of 1.1 players.
As to DR Arnold's question about updates, as long as the player reads your discs, don't worry about it. But if you get a disc that the player won't play or skips about while playing, then before you think the player is broken or the disc is defective, you might then want to try to update your player's firmware.

I did indeed turn on the AC late this morning, and it has been so much pleasanter inside this afternoon. Yes, I hate paying the power company the money, but for comfort, it just had to be.
I was able to go one year until July 5th before turning it on, but early June is actually about the norm.
-
Once again, I spent all afternoon with Perry Mason and his cohorts. I managed to watch five or the six remaining episodes I had in the set. Glad to have only one left to watch.
Of those five, I actually got the murderer right in two out of the five episodes.
-
Happiest of birthdays to DR Jose's Mom!
-
As for guest stars, some wonderful ones in this batch. The most famous was probably James Coburn (who ends up being the murder victim) and the most famous of the accused was a very young Louise Fletcher.
Other notable names in the batch of shows today: Richard Deacon, Corey Allen, Arthur Franz, Edward Platt, Philip Abbott, John Hoyt, Virginia Christine, and Philip Ober (again; he was also in the season premiere wearing a toupee).
-
And the really good news: my dad's estate is settled and officially closed. I am no longer an executor. Hooray!
Now if we could sell that damned property . . .
Keep them vibes coming!
DR Elmore - funny thing, I was driving past there just about the time you posted this. Vibes for selling it!
-
Tonight, after I finish this last episode, I'll watch last night's RESCUE ME, two days' of skimming for AS THE WORLD TURNS, and then I'll probably watch APRIL IN PARIS on DVD. I was thinking I'd watch BECKET on Blu-ray, but I don't think I'll have enough time for it tonight if I want to watch LAW & ORDER at around 10:10.
-
Off to the dentist.
Okay, I am off when I am not at the dentist.

I had the weirdest dream last night about grocery shopping. I never, ever leave my purse in the cart (like a lot of women do), but did in my dream. Of course, it disappeared and the store's security guy was very helpful. He eventually found my purse and only 2 things had been disturbed - my Starbucks card was gone and my "Hail to the Victors" cell phone ringtone had been replaced with Elvis singing, "Love Me, Tender." All my cash and credit cards and really important IDs were undisturbed.
Wonder what DR JRand's Dream-o-matic will have to say...
-
JMK, I think MBarnum might be right.
-
I'm looking forward to watching the "unimportant" Tony technical categories on-line as I did last year (for the first time).
I think that this will be the impetus for me to get my act together (but not take it on the road) and set up my new computer so that I can view these "unimportant" categories, also! When I auditioned for "R&J," I specified that this Sunday was a conflict and they were able to schedule me out of that day. ;) I actually don't need to be back at rehearsal until Monday.
-

I'll be watching the show. As much as I support a boycott for honorable reasons (such as this), it seems to me that it might only play into the TV producers' reasons for cutting those awards...and I'm just too much of a theater queen to not watch the Tony Awards. ::)
;)
-
Back from a fun lunch at Genghis Cohen. Have been dealing with e-mails and whatnot and getting ready for the official announcement of God's Little Acre. Also, someone is coming to audition at around four - after that, the rest of the day is mine all mine. What Blu-Ray I watch tonight is unknown at this time.
-
We now have three more releases from MGM coming - our next is a never-before-released score by a favorite composer of mine (and most of what he composed did not end up in the film), followed by a two-fer, two films from the same director and star, but not the same composer. Followed by another two-fer, also two films from the same director/star and also by two separate composers. I have a few other things I'm looking into after that and will, in fact, try to line up releases to take us to the end of the year. It's a lot of fun!
-
Plus we do have a couple of show releases lined up for the next few months, for our show collectors.

BK, any thoughts on releasing the soundtrack for 1959's DAY OF THE OUTLAW? Music by Alexander Courage.
I love, love, love (that is 3 loves) the music from that film.
Of course it is United Artists rather then MGM, so it is more a hypothetical question I guess.

The other day I was in Office Depot shopping for, well, office products. I was comparing two different products that were located on separate aisles. While I was looking this woman accompanied by four or five teenage children and pushing a cart with a two year old child in it along with a lot of, well, office products; desended upon my end of the store. As I was looking at one of the products they all swarmed down the aisle where I was shopping. Trying to avoid the crush I moved to the other aisle to look at the similar product. When I turned to leave this area of the store, I found the crowd blocking my exit aisle. Moving to the next aisle I found that she had deposited the shopping cart containing her child and her purse in the middle of the next aisle. Since I work for Children's Services and not wanting to get accused of any wrong doing, I backtracked two aisles the other direction to avoid going past the unattended child. Seeing me now at her end of the aisle, the woman suddenly remembered her abandoned shopping cart. Making sure that she was staring at me while she said it, she yelled to one of her children, "David, quick go watch my purse!"
WTF? She has a two year old child that she has left unattended and forgotten until that moment, and her only concern is for her purse??

I was reading a 1947 ad for the Council of Candy of the National Confectioners' Association. (Who knew there was a Council of Candy?) The large copy reads, "It's true...Most everybody likes Candy!"
Their slogan is "Candy is delicious food. Eat some everyday."
Now why can't I get a job writing scintillating ads like that?!?!

DR TCB - no I am certain Dylan has not read that column - he is happy to have ANY shirt. His is also the HAT we find on a chair in the theatre or on the prop table beside the money bag that he usually forgets to bring on. But he does try - and his brother Andy, playing Man #2 is very funny. So there you are....and Dylan did take on the role of the suitor Gremio when another BIG star decided he couldn't be bothered to play such a small part.

Sadly, NO. :P They're both straight and have girlfriends...dammit.

DR GINNY - the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream reveals anxiety about oversleeping and lost opportunities - neither of which I am sure you need worry about.

Shocking story, DR TCB.....there's nothing funnier than people - unless it's two of them.

A while back you mention that you might release other S.T.A.G.E. concert performances.

And while I was out walking, I happened to find myself at the Lincoln Center Barnes & Noble. In the window I happened to notice this:

DR elmore - Did you happen to know about this? And, if so, will you being going tomorrow night?

Besides the obvious, what's the story with Miranda Sings?
Well, I guess by "the obvious", you mean that she's actually a very good singer in "real life". Otherwise, "Miranda" has managed to work her way in various cabarets, revues and events (including the BC/EFA "Easter Bonnet Competition"). I got the joke the first time I heard her, saw here, and find her "success" a little strange and unfounded(?). However, I do find her entertaining.
-
First I saw this:
(http://blog.simslearningconnections.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/old-hand-drill-small.jpg)
And then I read this:

Which, of course, was then followed up by this:

DR elmore - Did you happen to know about this? And, if so, will you being going tomorrow night?
I did not. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun.
Tomorrow, June 4, we may be changing the name of the office from Toyland to Carpetland because the meeting tomorrow could be grisly and I may be called on the carpet. My goal is to survive until 4 pm, at which point it will be hopefully over.
-
I suggest you start drinking heavily now, Elmore.
-
Seriously, vibes for strength and survival for you tomorrow.
-
Then I watched APRIL IN PARIS. It's by far the weakest looking of the Doris Day movies in this set. About 1/3 of it was either soft, out of focus, or out of color registration. And none of it looked great. Sound was kind of puny, too.
And I was really shocked at how poorly Ray Bolger sang in this film. He misses many notes. I couldn't believe that I had never noticed this before.
-
I watched one motion picture on Blu-Ray. I think it's time for a new glasses prescription, too, as it's almost better if I don't wear my glasses at all, save for my left eye begin out of focus. But when I wear them, my right eye is now slightly out of focus and the left eye, while much better with the glasses, is still slightly soft.
-
Next I decided to check out the special HD preview premiere episode of Edie Falco's new series NURSE JACKIE on Showtime.
It's kind of brittle but very involving. One of my heartthrobs Paul Schulze co-stars as the hospital pharmacist.
-
Next up was Tuesday night's RESCUE ME. Not as good an episode as the previous several have been. I did like the showdown scene between Probie Mike and Tommy, but all of Tommy's sexcapades are really getting old after six seasons.
-
I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS since the fellows were on. Again, though they were more like extras in today's show, though with Noah's new film project, it looks like this will be the way they'll work Colonel Meyer back into the show. We'll see.
-
And I ended my evening of viewing with tonight's LAW & ORDER season finale. An excellent episode and not one moment of it taking place in a courtroom this week, very unusual for this series. (They did have a couple of scenes in the grand jury room, but that was all.)
-
DR elmore - Well, if you feel like celebrating or "drowning" tomorrow afternoon, just give me a call. I'll be down at Chelsea Studios tomorrow afternoon until around 5:15.
-
I forgot to mention that NURSE JACKIE is only a half hour series, another reason to love it. It's premiering on Monday after WEEDS' season premiere.
-
I never did get that nap today. Just never felt the least bit drowsy, so I hope that augers well for a good night's sleep tonight.
Good night!

A Question for BK on Ask BK Day:
Since you have the reading for The First Nudie Musical coming up, which composers - musical theatre and/or film - would you love to have at the readings, to get their feedback?

And you can also "raise the dead" with your answer(s).
Stephen Schwartz, I suppose, since I know what kind of feedback he'd give, which is the same he expects people to give (as I did) for his work. Frank Loesser would make me nervous. Jule Styne would probably make me nervous. People I've worked with would not make me nervous at all, even my close personal friend, Mr. Stephen Sondheim.

Just a quick note to say hello.
Thanks DAW and TCB.

I try to read every word when I read the posts at the end of the day, and by the time 8 pages go by, I have too many things I want to comment on.
So from this really tired person, Thanks everyone for making my evening pleasant . ;D

Must go to sleep.
Oh, JMK, I love your neighbor.
We have a toy small enough to fit in a pocket, that farts, burps, kisses, shoots missiles, torpedoes, and I don't remember the rest of the obnoxious noises.
We thoroughly embarrassed my kid in public many times when she was little. It was great fun.

Who was the blonde playing Caroline Reeves on tonight's L&O?

And somewhere (I'll have to find it) another small toy that insults you (with sayings from a famous comedian) that was kept next to the phone.

Must go.
Happy Thursday.
