Good morning, all! I am busy today with a Liz Callaway chart. At 10 am I have another blood test. Something's going on that my new doctor is not telling me, perhaps it's a blod sugar level check, but this is my third test in a week and a half. I'm not worried: if it were more serious, i'd know more myself, I do believe. Anyway, I'll tie in my walk with a trek to the medical center.

I just got off a delightful phone call that I wish could have continued longer but I suddenly felt a needed urge to write a few notes in pencil onto score paper.

So I will!

SHOW GIRL arrived at my door on Friday, but because of the busy busy busy holiday weekend, I haven't had a chance to play it until today at some point.

What I have listened to--three times so far, in fact--is ROAD SHOW.  In a lot of ways this one has surprisingly grown on me--I enjoy the songs themselves, along with the performances, orchestrations and vocal arrangements.  Only a few things keep me from completely embracing it--I still think there's no real show there.  I don't find the Mizner Brothers' story all that compelling.  I think the climax of the show is completely ridiculous and the denouement a dull muddle.  And there's also a strange kind of misogyny throughout the recording in the way that all the female voices are ugly, shrill, shrieky and whiney--even Mama Mizner sounds like a harpy during "Gold".  It's as if Sondheim was channeling his own mother's voice this time around.

DR Cillaliz, I also watched THE NEXT FOOD NETWORK STAR last night. Except here they are showing it 4 weeks behind (i hate when they do that). So we just saw the first episode, the one with the food networks 16th birthday.

I'll just have to remember to check when the finale is so i don't read about the winner. Looks like an interesting cast this year.

re: my niece's blisters.

My sister said it was worse than what she was expecting which surprised me since i tried to explain it exactly how it was. But after she saw it and got used to it i guess she changed her mind. I think she just was not expecting the one blister to be so full of water. I had described it as being the size of my pinky nail. But i guess she didn't understand how full it was (even though i tried to explain that).

We gave her another shower before she left last night. My sister had bought some waterproof bandages, so she can swimming with her daycare. They are allowed to change the bandage but not put on any antibiotic cream.

Thankfully the blister popped this morning. And hopefully she won't look too beaten up in her bathing suit.

Yesterday afternoon my aunt came over to visit with the baby (my 7 week old niece). And she was wearing such a strong perfume. So i couldn't even sit beside her. I didn't say anything, but she probably thought i wasn't being nice to her. Since i couldn't really talk to her or anything.

I was okay on the other side of the room. I wonder if i should have said something. Although she should remember i'm allergic to perfume.

Hmmm..there's an idea for a musical--ROAD SHOW GIRL!  Carol Channing stars as the little known Mizner sister who sets out across the country as a travelling saleslady, a golddigger, an aviatrix, and finally as a busybody matchmaker.  It's the story of America!

Thank you, DR JoseSMonkey, er....Piano :) , for the link to the piece on Miss Marple.

I disagree completely with the writer about Joan Hickson's being chilly. Her Miss Marple is crisp and no nonsense, exactly the way she's pictured in the book. The actresses who try to give her a twinkle are adding an attribute that I don't remember Miss Marple possessing in the books. And if her Miss Marple TV-movies are drab, it's likely due to the drab DVD transfers, all taken from videotape masters and all soft and bland looking apart from AT BERTRAM'S HOTEL which captures those rich interiors of the stately Brown's in London beautifully. Even the beautiful locations in A CARIBBEAN MYSTERY don't come off as they should in the lackluster transfers. But that's not Hickson's fault.

Ordering more postage tapes - no one told me I was running out and I'm now going to have to have them overnighted - filling orders that came in over the weekend will take me down to one or two of these strips.  They don't sell these strips anywhere - not Staples or Office Depot, so one has to order them from Pitney Bowes.  Just got six boxes (apparently I've gone through six boxes since March) and some ink in case that should run out - that should keep me okay for the next four months or so.

;)

You're welcome, DR MattH - I found the writer's opinion a bit "interesting" too.  I've only caught a handful of the Miss Marple shows over the years, but nothing about Joan Hickson ever came off as off-putting or "not in the spirit" to me. -And I've never heard any complaints from my friends who have watched the series regularly, and a great devotees to the original books.

And as for me and Monkey...

Just for kicks, I went ahead and did a Twitter search for "Monkey", "BrooklynMuseum", "MuseumModernArt", and came across a whole string of tweets and retweets - cross-references - which helped to explain the how and where of some of my new Followers, but also the seemingly random spikes in Views on my Flickr page.

Of particular interest were some retweets from museums in England, as well as one in Auckland, NZ!  One museum in England was wondering if Monkey only flew First Class. Hmmm... :)

It's raining a little bit, here in Tumwater...the first rain in a while.  Fortunately, my roof was re-roofed last week!  I also found out (the property manager called me this morning) that the roofers have ordered all the 4x4 skylights that are being replaced (like mine) and will install them all at once.  Hopefully, it'll be sooner rather than later.  It was pretty darned warm this weekend.

Getting Show Girl to sound good was a really difficult thing - it was just badly recorded - but the mastering guy did a fantastic job and it sounds so much better than it has any right to.  Especially if you've only heard the vinyl - both the Roulette and Forum versions were perhaps the worst-pressed vinyl albums ever.  I had a sealed copy that I opened and played and it sounded like someone had scratched every track with a knife - that was a brand-new sealed copy that had never been played.

And I concluded my afternoon of leisure viewing with another NCIS Season 3 episode. This one featured four bodies discovered in an icy pond and some gang related events.

There was a lot of ridiculous talk from Tony about McGee's using moisturizing cream coming off as "gay," and it REALLY pissed me off.

Hmmm...  All these years I was assuming that my LP of SHOW GIRL was badly scratched because of how it sound--maybe it's actually in mint condition.  But in any case, I'm not at all complaining about how the CD sounds--it's divoon!

BK, have you ever thought about adding a hidden bonus track of one of the un-re-mastered tracks...to show just how bad it originally sounded and how fabulous you and your mastering guy are able to make it sound?

Yesterday afternoon my aunt came over to visit with the baby (my 7 week old niece). And she was wearing such a strong perfume. So i couldn't even sit beside her. I didn't say anything, but she probably thought i wasn't being nice to her. Since i couldn't really talk to her or anything.

I was okay on the other side of the room. I wonder if i should have said something. Although she should remember i'm allergic to perfume.

You really must not expect anyone to remember your allergies, something I learned a long time ago.  Accepting this fact makes it easier to simpy be sweet & say you wish you could sit closer but unfortunately you are allergic to her perfume.  I also find holding my breath during a greeting hug helps.

I got no additional review discs today, and I'm thinking I may take tomorrow off as well if something else doesn't come in. You see, the REPULSION Blu-ray doesn't come out until July 28th, and that's a LONG amount of lead time. I've already posted the DVD review, but I may just hold off another day (or more) unless other items aren't forthcoming. Funny thing is, I'm not really expecting anything else that I know about. I may end up with a good part of the week free.

As I was reading today's notes, I became more and more convinced that the topic of discussion for the day would be: "What's the most elaborate lie you ever told that was believed by everyone?" or "What's the worst lie you ever told where you got caught?" or something else full of intrigue like that. I was so disappointed when I saw the topic of discussion because I have no opinion of Billy Wilder. But it's just as well because I don't have any particularly great lie stories except that I, too, had an experience where I vowed to lie no more. The only difference between mine and Bruce's resolution was that I was only about 12 years old at the time.

I hate to lie.  I admit to doing it occasionally, if I really feel I have to-really "white lies".  I need to truly believe it is necessary or I'm terrible at it. 

My older sister was a pathological liar & when we were young often dragged me along while she did stuff I knew we shouldn't be doing.  Of course she insisted I lie about it.  I was so bad at it my parents could usually get the truth out of me which of course made my sister furious at me.  Probably why telling a lie still gives me a stomach ache to this day. 

Thinking about the horrid lies she said about me during our adult years makes me feel far worse.

Back from Hamburger Hamlet and my meal/meeting with our very own Mr. Cason Murphy.  I feel a lot more comfortable after our meeting about how certain things are going to work.  He will be involved in any more Nudie readings (as producer, which he did very well), as well as acting as producer on the reading of the long musical, when that ultimately happens.  So, if we do Nudie in NY come October (or whenever) he'll come in and produce that reading.  He's also going to take over certain Kritzerland duties that were being handled by someone else and that's a big load off my mind.  It's not much - one has to only be done twice a year, and then the other is occasionally helping with the addressing and packaging, for which he'll be paid.  So, it was a very productive luncheon and the food was yummilicious.

I did manage to get my errands done today, as well as a "drive-by" coaching for a friend. She just needed to sing through the song a few times to make sure she learned it correctly - which she did.  It was a short session, but, heck, it paid for dinner. ;)

Since I was in the 'hood, I went ahead and walked around Chinatown and the Lower East Side for a bit - which is also where I ended up grabbing dinner: Pork and Chive Dumplings from Prosperity Dumpling - 5 for a $1! and a Lemon Custard Bun from Lucky King Bakery - a whopping 75 cents! :)

Thanks, Jose. Now, how do you do it with the bold blue words?

(I am copying these into a word document for future reference.)

I only used the bold blue words when I hyperlink to another article, not for pictures.  But I think you know that, so...

The easiest thing to do is to use the actual "reply" button - which appears at the bottom of each page of posts, right above the "Quick Reply" box.  Once you have the "Post reply" box on your screen, then all you have to do is click on the "BBC tags".  So, to set up a "bold blue" text hyperlink....

-First of all, all hyperlinks automatically show up in blue unless you select another color.

1) The first BBC tag "box" is a "B", and that is the "bold" tag.  Click on that "B".  That will bring up:

[ b ] [ /b ]  - There will be no spaces between the brackets and the "b", otherwise, it won't show up right now.

2) Then click on the little globe icon on the second row of BBC tags.  That will bring up:

[ b ] [ url ] [ /url ][ /b ] -Again, there will be no spaces.

3) Now, backspace to the first "url" tag an add an "=" sign after "url":

[ b ] [ url= ] [ /url ] [ /b ]

4) Type in the URL of the page, article, etc., that you want to link to:

[ b ] [ url=http://www.haineshisway.com ] [ /url ] [ /b]

5) Move your cursor between the brackets and type in the name of site, title of the article, "Click Here", or whatever text you would like:

[ b ] [ url=http://www.haineshisway.com ] Haines His Way [ /url] [ /b]

And that's all.  If you quote this post, you will see the actual formatting commands without the spaces for:

Haines His Way (http://www.haineshisway.com)

I began my evening watching ThE HOLLOW, another Hercule Poirot mystery. A very sad story and filled with so many liars. I did remember the murderer's identity about halfway through, so I was just rewatchng to savor the performances and nice production values. This one also had Sarah Miles and Edward Fox, among others.

DR Laura (Part 2) - "Cut and Paste" will be your friend when it comes to setting up the hyperlinks and images/pictures.  You can also "paste" the link first in the "post reply" window, then "select" (highlight) the text then hit the "B" and "WWW" icons.  You will have to adjust some brackets and still add the "=", but it should still get the job done.  And once you know how and where to place those BBC tags, you can just type them in manually in the "Quick Reply" box.

Now for pictures, all you have to do is click on the little picture icon in the second row of BBC tags - it's the second one from the left on the the bottom row:

[ img ] [ /img ] -Again, no spaces.

Then just type or "paste" the direct link to your picture between the "img" tags.  *For pics from Flickr, remember the actual image file links start with "farm", otherwise, it will link to your Flickr and not to the pic.

[ img ] http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2513/3694333822_8de0beedac.jpg [ /img ]

You can also Center the image by adding [ center ] [ /center ] around the "img" tags.

Then I watched A POCKETFUL OF RYE, the new Miss Marple on PBS last evening. Great cast including Rupert Graves, Matthew MacFadyen (whom I really liked as Mr. D'Arcy in the last movie version of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE), and Prunella Scales of all people. And, of course, Julia McKenzie as Miss Marple.

It was a basically fine rendition of the story, but I still MUCH prefer Joan Hickson's version. Julia McKenzie was fine as Miss Marple, older appearing than the previous Miss Marple, but this movie brought her into the case much earlier than in the previous Hickson version.

I noticed next week's Christie outing is MURDER IS EASY, and they're inserting Miss Marple into the plot. The original book didn't feature any of Christie's regular detectives.

CBS made a version of the book for TV in the 1980s with Bill Bixby as the person trying to discover the murderer of Helen Hayes.

DR Laura (Part 3) - As has been mentioned before by other DRs, if you click on "Preview" under the "Quick Reply" box, that will bring up the "full" reply box with all the formatting tags.  So you could start your post/reply in the Quick Reply box, then finish formatting it by hitting "Preview".

How does one "sneak" onstage, exactly?  I am thinking it would be rather obvious and jolting to the actors AND the audience.

I was wondering the same thing.  A friend of mine is one of the assistant stage managers for God of Carnage, I may just have to send him an email, make a phone call. ;)

And then there was this:

July 6 Performance of Toxic Avenger Canceled (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/130861-July_6_Performance_of_Toxic_Avenger_Canceled)

...The Toxic Avenger was the victim when an audience member decided to use the stage as their own personal storage facility...

Alas, the article doesn't really do into much more detail.  And I don't feel like checking over at BroadwayWorld.com for the details. ;)

I got the second of my two big purchases in the mail today.  As I said before, big purchases for my aren't really major to other people, but I am a cheapskate.

Anyway, this is the new leather-bound book of Titanic photos, and personally autographed by Robert Ballard.

DRs Laura and Cillaliz - I "learned" a bunch of those formatting commands by taking advantage of the "Preview" option.  There also seems to be a hierarchy when using multiple BBC tags.  Again, Preview comes in handy.

About lies and work.

I figured out that if I just tell my boss the truth, he goes away and leaves may alone a lot more.  The guys in the shop who always say they didn't do it or they don't know what happened, get caught in arguments that go on forever.   Who needs that.

I've had a difficult time getting on line the last couple of days

From yesterday re; West Side Story

The last special edition of West Side Story with 2 discs and a book. There is a documentary.

It shows clips of Russ Tamblyn singing with Robert Tucker's voice and his own. Also there is clips of Natalie Wood singing in her own voice.

Rita Moreno does sing on some songs but is dubbed in A Boy Like That. Moreno talks about that she doesn't like Betty Wand's dub as it doesn't match her emotion. She sings nicely.

I guest the balance of the jets use there own voices.

The Billy Wilder film that I have always wanted to see but never have is the

Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (or something like that) and from what I've read that is was cut and mangled by the Studio/distributor.

But the original version was supposed to be fantastic. But I have never seen it because I don't want to see the cut version.

But the ones I have seen and liked the most

Some Like It Hot (#1 favorite)
Lost Weekend
Sunset Blvd (#2 Favorite)
Fortune Cookie
Witness For the Prosecution

Front Page (Though a lot of people don't like this version. Carol Burnett's performance is all wrong)

Avanti! (I always thought that Bernard Slade got his idea for Same Time Next Year from this play/film)

Seven Year Itch (fun but it doesn't quite work. Too stage bound)

and others I like but are not favorites

Sabrina
Stalag 17
1, 2, 3

He co-wrote Ninochka which I love

Just finished watching act two of the benefit - really a wonderful show all the way around.  Of course, the one performer who caused me to turn into a blubbering fool was Michelle Nicastro - so much history there, and she, despite all her terrible health problems of the last few years, is still so beautiful and then she opens her mouth and sings the first song we ever recorded together (Part Of Your World) and it's just so moving.

I had no idea that Michelle had any health problems.  I found THIS (http://patient.cancerconsultants.com/Resources.aspx?DocumentId=41628) article about her and the company (http://www.trulymom.com/) that she started after her recovery.  Quite the inspirational story. :)
