Well, you've read the notes, the notes were ducky, and now it is time for you to post until the ducky cows come home. I wonder if you have ducky cows if you can then have cowky ducks?

Good news, George. Are you reading for a specific role or the ensemble (who get to play many roles). And just tell the director that if you're cast, the writers will come up to see you!
Thanks, BK! In all the shows that I've done with Theater Artists Olympia (TAO), I've had relatively few lines...and I've really enjoyed that. But in this show (if I'm cast), I would like a more substantial role. I know I'm not right for Fred and more than likely not Zubrick, either (I wouldn't turn them down, though). But I think that I could be the Narrator or The Brain him-(it?)-self. ;) I've only been a title character once (Charlie Brown in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown in 2002), so maybe it's time for another show-titled role. I hope that Josh (the director/music director) can see me in one of those roles, also. :D
-
And thanks also to FJL and Ginny and Kerry and DAW and Cillaliz for the congrats and good wishes!
But I have to keep telling myself, it's only the call-backs...I'm not cast, yet. ::)

And now, to bed. 8)

Happy happy birthday to dear DR td!!!
-
Good mornng, all!
Thank you, all, for the good wishes. I will really need them today, since this is my first day truly away from the apartment: the barber at 10:30, a holiday album meeting at noon, and then a jaunt to Toyland before I either hail a taxi or try the subway for a trip back home. I'm taking the pain meds with me, but I am making a serious effort to break away from them.
I have little news besides that at the moment.

So, td, what are your birthday plans for today?
-
Thursday morning greetings! We've received word that John is in surgery, so we'll be heading up there soon. Thanks to DRs Vixmom and FJL for the vibes I found here this morning.
-
Happiest of birthdays to DR td!
-
Good morning!
Got up to 93 yesterday and today should be the same. Usually August summers in the South are the worst, and we are forecast for five straight days in the 90s. We did get some rain during the night.
-
Thank you for the natal day wishes DRs bk, George, Ben, DAW, Michael S, FJL, elmore, Laura, ArnoldMBrockman and Ginny.
Today I shall run through the cemetery with Dixie Bell.
I shall have dinner from The Olive Garden.
I shall see the production of INTO THE WOODS. (or maybe I'll do that tomorrow night).
-
Happiest of birthdays to the forever young Martin Mull, er . . . td!!!
-
I found PLANET EARTH so addictive that I breezed through the discs too quickly, and now I enjoy going back and rediscovering the many pleasure of this fantastic series.
High definition is the ONLY way to see the series and appreciate its complexity.
-
TOD:
A STAR IS BORN (especially the 1954 version).
-
My work project today is STARGATE: ATLANTIS: Fans' Favorites on Blu-ray. I've never seen the series, but the program is made up of the 88-minute pilot episode and the 46-minute series finale. I have never watched the show, but I'm assuming since I will see the pilot, I will get proper introduction to the characters and be easily able to follow along.
There don't appear to be any bonus features listed on the case, but there may be some once I start watching the disc.

Twitter, what's that?
I sound like BK.
And yes, I do know what Twitter is.

I'm about an hour ahead of my usual daily routine, but I'm going to head downstairs now and perhaps watch some stuff before starting lunch.

Happy Birthday to DR td!
Thanks to all for the dry vibes. The water did come within about 3 feet of my house, but then receded - sort of like my hair - and finally went down the storm drain. After the street dept showed up and removed the debris from the drain. And threw it in my front yard.
I also have two new garbage cans, a white bucket, and a Big Wheel.
-
Glad you got the A/C fixed DR MATTH. We need ours here in the Midwest as well.
DR GEORGE - big part vibes for you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR TD!!!!!

DR JRand - Did your hair do down the storm drain too?
;)
-
At last rehearsal last night, the cast gave me an autographed poster from the years ago Robert Goulet tour of MAN OF LA MANCHA. I bought a frame for it and will put it in the lobby!
Tonight is opening night.....I sell tickets at 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. - so hopefully the boys won't go too crazy with the makeup until I can get back there to supervise. My nightmare once again is that I will have at two muleteers who look like Carol Channing.

ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOE w/Dan O'Herlihy

A storm system is moving into the Bay Area from the Gulf of Alaska.
Forecast: COOLER than we've been experiencing.
-
Thanks DR LAURA.
TOD: Beach Blanket Bingo, Kiss Me Deadly, Paradise Hawaiian Style and Blue Hawaii

BK of course is no stranger to Dan O'Herlihy roles, having played the role of Grig (portrayed by Dan O'Herlihy on screen) in the NYMF 2006 presentations of the LAST STARFIGHTER musical.
-
TOD:
"Last Summer" (wonderful Frank Perry film)
"The Blue Lagoon" (for the brilliant photography and stunning music score)
"From Here to Eternity" (for that wonderful beach scene with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr)

BK played Grig in 2006? I didn't know he performed at NYMF, as well! How did I not know this? Or did I know it and, due to age, forgot?
-
Does "twitter" being down mean that the service is now "twitterwaited"?
And are all the folks anxiously awaiting its restoration currently "twitterpated"?
-
It appears that Twitter is having to "defend" itself from a "denial of service attack".
Well... At least it sounds cool.
*And I really am wondering if the current slowdown and glitches over at Facebook right now are related to the same "attack". Guess I should check out Digg, Tumblr, etc.

Today is Thursday, August 7th. OMG, where has this year gone????????
This is my final work day of this week as I am taking a well-earned (if not well-deserved) day off tomorrow.

! ! ! ! ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DR TD ! ! ! ! !

Twitter, what's that?

Doesn't the fact that this glitch has no impact on your life leave you all "a-twitter", as it were?

I believe the 2006 NYMF presentation was a reading, and not the full production (which followed in 2007).
-
It's what?
No, no....say it isn't so!
Not again!
Not so SOON!
He must be beside himself!
Ah, me......
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TD!

Just checking movie times for this weekend, and noticed that "Julie & Julia" is having a 12:01AM showing tonight/tomorrow. I mean, I expected "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" to have a late-night premiere, but not "Julie & Julia". Hmmm....
I think I'm going to go to the 10:05 tomorrow morning. Yes, it's early, but it's also only $6.00.
-
It is very cloudy and gray outside, with tiny rumbling thunders. A daytime rain would be unusual in the Arizona desert in the summertime, but this summer has been so weird that anything is possible.

I'm GLAD because it's "shrimp bisque Thursday" at the Oasis Restaurant where I shall be having lunch!

Not only that, but my blood pressure is steady, my cholesterol is down, my blood sugar is stable and...three days a week...I get an incredible endorphin rush at the gym.

I'm still on one-such rush from last night's workout.

Good morning, everyone.
Thanks to all who replied to my doctor/dental inquiry yesterday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DR TD!!
May you have a lovely day!

Glad to hear that DR JRAND is drying out--regardless of where his hair went!

Continued vibes to Ginny's BIL and family.
Stay-cool vibes to DR MATTH--glad your AC is now fixed.

Must run. TTFN. I'll return later if I have a few minutes.

Thanks for the well wishes, peeps! But I'll be okay as long as I remember that some folk'r' just naturally thick-headed.
-
My nightmare once again is that I will have at two muleteers who look like Carol Channing.
LOL!! That's some nightmare. I wonder if Carol ever tried to do a production of Man of La Mancha! In the spirit of Googie Gomez, I can hear Carol now--"Don Quixote? It's a stretch, but I could do that part."
-
I took a friend to the airport this morning, and we had about 7 minutes of real rain. Rain-- at least I think that's what they call those drops of water falling out of the sky. Right?
-
I actually slept until nine. Hoo and ray. Then I had to print out a LOT of orders for the Hefti release, and respond to many e-mails, including a bunch congratulating us on the Hefti release, which looks like it will be very popular with the populace.

Oh!
It's Judy Garland Day on TCM. :)
And it's not even her birthday.
But we don't get Turner (we don't even have cable anymore) and Anthony has seen every single Garland movie more than once anyway.
Speaking of which, we are heading over to Chelsea Cinemas this evening to catch a viewing of
The Harvey Girls (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Harvey_Girls)
I've seen it also but neither of us has seen it on a large screen.
Brini Maxwell (http://www.brinimaxwell.com/)

is in Provincetown for the summer.
A good time is expected to be had by all

I'll break with fashion and say Good Luck to Jack on his opening night!
-
LOL so it will be DR BEN's fault!
-
THE HARVEY GIRLS is very colorful and I love Judy and Angela Lansbury and Marjorie Main...and John Hodiak....but Ray Bolger on the BIG screen might be more than I can take.

OK.... 'Tis that time of the day once again where I leave the protective shell of my apartment and head out into the wiles of New York City for a couple of hours.
Laters...

Have fun!
Yes, DR JOSE if MR BK is in NYC on your birthday, he will also be in NYC on MY birthday!

I've had a long day out and now I'm safely home. I took the bus down to 50th Street and transferred to the crosstown bus to get to Radio City for my barber, then I took a bus down Fifth Avenue to Union Square and walked to Chris Denny's apartment, where I heard the songs for Brent's Christmas album. I think it's going to be good. Then I taxied up to 27th Street and went to Toyland where everyone was working on Life Begins At 8:40; the reading is now scheduled for Sept 1, but if the Library of congress doesn't start honoring our contract and paying us within six weeks of invoice date, there won't be a reading since I won't release the music. It's ridiculous for a government organization to be so screwed up.
After my visit to Toyland, I was considering a subway ride home but after walking to Seventh Avenue, I decided to taxi home. That's my day, and I'm rather proud of myself.

I watched a MURDEr SHE WROTE episode while I ate lunch. In this one, a trucking company run by Earl Holliman is going bankrupt due to hijacked shipments and the secretary stealing money without telling him.
Earl's son is played by Patrick Cassidy, and Melora Hardin from THE OFFICE plays Patrick's finace.

I only dislike him when he's miscast or is trying to do material beyond his ability. He was a horrible choice as the leading man for Doris Day in APRIL IN PARIS and his singing was very off pitch in that movie.
But in something like BABES IN TOYLAND or THE HARVEY GIRLS, he's just fine. And, of course, he's magical as the Scarecrow.

I watched both parts of my work project STARGATE: ATLANTIS. I don't think the show was ever regarded as a great piece of sci-fi, but the feature length pilot was reasonably entertaining. The second episode on the disc was the series finale. After five years, many of the core cast had already departed, and the show seemed to be borrowing sci-fi ideas from STAR TREK. I found that last episode pretty anticlimactic.
-
There were no bonus features on the STARGATE Blu-ray, so I had a big chunk of the afternoon free. I began by watching my soaps.
Y&R and AS THE WORLD TURNS had nothing of interest.
-
ONE LIFE TO LIVE finally got back to the Kyle and Fish story, and today was the BIG day.
But I have to say the kiss was very unconvincing and uncomfortable-looking.

I was going to start a movie, but as I was flipping channels, I noticed that TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD was playing on one of the HBO channels, so I stopped and watched it. It was the courtroom scene with the Ewells testifying.
That movie is always worth watching. Wish I had had time to watch the whole thing.

Today my friend Gregg was visiting from out of town. We were all going out to dinner, but I had to beg off due to my health. He did drop by and we had a good hour-long visit.

Which is, of course, the title of my next novel.

I've had a non-stop morning and afternoon, and still haven't picked up my mail - no packages, but a check, so that's good. I had to pick up the CD ref for a potential upcoming project. Then I found out that after our next release, the price of doing two scores on one or two CDs goes up another $1000, and that will probably preclude me from doing any more of those, as they're too expensive to begin with and the profit margin would simply shrink too low or be non-existent if it didn't sell. Thankfully, I already had the contract for our next, so that stays at the old rate. I wish I'd had them do contracts on three or four more.

I've had a long day out and now I'm safely home. I took the bus down to 50th Street and transferred to the crosstown bus to get to Radio City for my barber, then I took a bus down Fifth Avenue to Union Square and walked to Chris Denny's apartment, where I heard the songs for Brent's Christmas album. I think it's going to be good. Then I taxied up to 27th Street and went to Toyland where everyone was working on Life Begins At 8:40; the reading is now scheduled for Sept 1, but if the Library of congress doesn't start honoring our contract and paying us within six weeks of invoice date, there won't be a reading since I won't release the music. It's ridiculous for a government organization to be so screwed up.
After my visit to Toyland, I was considering a subway ride home but after walking to Seventh Avenue, I decided to taxi home. That's my day, and I'm rather proud of myself.
That's a considerable improvement in your daily acitivites over what might, heretofore, been referred to as...ummm...oh, "Larry tied his shoelaces today" ! :D

THE HARVEY GIRLS is very colorful and I love Judy and Angela Lansbury and Marjorie Main...and John Hodiak....but Ray Bolger on the BIG screen might be more than I can take.
Why does "everybody" on this board seem to dislike Ray Bolger?
Please enlighten me.
He was TERRIF as the Scarecrow.
But he sometimes weirds me out.
Great dancer, though.

I've had a non-stop morning and afternoon, and still haven't picked up my mail - no packages, but a check, so that's good. I had to pick up the CD ref for a potential upcoming project. Then I found out that after our next release, the price of doing two scores on one or two CDs goes up another $1000, and that will probably preclude me from doing any more of those, as they're too expensive to begin with and the profit margin would simply shrink too low or be non-existent if it didn't sell. Thankfully, I already had the contract for our next, so that stays at the old rate. I wish I'd had them do contracts on three or four more.
OY!

Not me, I love Ray Bolger. I spent a wonderful day with him back in the Seventies while he was filming a commercial in our local theater. He was an absolute delight, and he was very kind and gracious to my young niece, who couldn't believe that she was meeting The Scarecrow.

The afternoon certainly got away from me. I must start writing up my work project and see what's left of the evening.
WBBL.

Thank you, DRs Jennifer, George, and DAW for the vibes for my BiL John. Today's procedure went fine and he seems much more comfortable without tubes in his nose and mouth. He's still not breathing on his own, but vitals are OK and conversations have begun about a transfer to a long-term critical care facility.
-
All in all, I'd rather be seeing The Harvey Girls with DR Ben tonight.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DW BETSY!

Well, the fella who examined our old printer got the print time from 45 minutes down to 2 minutes. So perhaps we'll keep this one for a time. It would sure save a LOT of money.

Oh -- and I missed the seven-minute downpour.

Man! I was so tired when I got home from driving and driving and driving today I just laid down for a minute and was SOUND asleep...until my mother called and woke me up
-
Yes. For one copy.
That's terrible!

Thank you, DR Laura.

That's terrible!
Now you can understand my whining.

That's terrible!
Now we know why she has so much time to take such great pictures. ;D

Happiest of birthdays to Betsy, DW of DR JMK!

Yes. For one copy.
That's terrible!
Now you can understand my whining.
I figured that there had to be a reason, but I never thought it would be that bad!
-
Aw, thanks, JMK. I haven't been anywhere lately. It's too hot.

Big HHW thanks to DRs JMK, Jennifer, Cillaliz and TCB.
Oh, TCB, if I told you what I really wanted for my birthday, would you deliver it in person? ;)

I believe "The Breakfast Club" was the last movie I saw from an actual balcony of a actual movie theater, The State Theater in Falls Church, VA, to be exact. -There aren't that many movie theater balconies left nowadays with the advent of stadium seating.
R.I.P. John Hughes.
-
DR Laura - 45 minutes?!?!?! Was it being hand-copied?!?!? Color? Black and White? Text and graphics?
I would have just gone to Kinko's. Or even the post office or 7-11.
Would the copy time pick up after the initial copy was finished?

Photos and text -- a newsletter. Kinko's would have cost many dollars for the color pages.

DR GEORGE - big part vibes for you!
Thanks!
(of course, that statement can be taken a variety of ways. ;))
Wouldn't that all depend on what you (can) take?
:-X

Yes, DR JOSE if MR BK is in NYC on your birthday, he will also be in NYC on MY birthday!
Spooky!

Hi everyone.

DR Jose, do you have any suggestions for home made ice cream/gelato/whatever that would be tasty but not too fattening?

Hi Vixmom! How about you (or anyone else for that matter) do you have any suggestions on home made ice cream/yogurt/gelato etc
-
Thank you, DR Vixmom.

I am so glad to hear that Elmore is out and about again!!
-
Happy Birthday DW Betsy!

Health Vibes to all who need them

I would dearly love to be part of any HHW get together that may happen when BK is back in town -
Hopefully work and other obligations will allow me to do so!!
-
Hi Vixmom! How about you (or anyone else for that matter) do you have any suggestions on home made ice cream/yogurt/gelato etc
I am afraid I have no experience in making homemade icecream etc - Somewher in a box in the basement is a make your own homemade yogurt machine but I don't think I ever used it
-
Hi Sam! Hi Vixmom!
-
Cillaliz, did you ever find out what that big bang was?
-
DR Jose, do you have any suggestions for home made ice cream/gelato/whatever that would be tasty but not too fattening?
Sorbets are non-fat since they're basically just frozen fruit purées. However, some sorbet recipes call for egg whites - also fat-free - to add some "body" to them (as well as some protein too).
Actually, the easiest sorbet recipe I've come across:
-Buy a can of pears in syrup.
-Freeze the can.
-Take can out of freezer, open can, and serve.
Ice creams and ice milks can be easy and fat-free, but those types of recipes don't usually yield the tastiest results. ;)
Check Epicurious (http://www.epicurious.com) and the Food Network site for some ideas and recipes.
-

Just get a note from your doctor.
*Or maybe your "doctor" could call your office and tell you that you have to head to his "office" right away. ;)
-
The closet I have come to homemade would be my morning experiments with my protein shake
I use whole milk instead of skim and a scoop of the vanilla flavored spirutein whey
One day I added half a cup of blueberries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream
Another I added a bananna and a scoop of chocolate flavored instant breakfast
today I added 8 big strawberries
another day I added the bananna AND Strawberries...
this is what passes for cooking in my kitchen

Thanks DR Jose. I knew you'd have some advice :) I already use 1/2 and 1/2 instead of heavy cream and can use 2% instead of whole milk. Perhaps that's the easiest, I'll check the link, though, Thanks
-
I decided to give myself an early birthday gift so I just ordered Lord Love a Duck
-
DR Laura, I heard a second "boom" last night, but never discovered the source. I'm thinking someone was maybe doing some sort of construction, but I haven't heard any other noises that resemble construction noises. I guess no news is good news
-
On the Jake the Dog front....thre are now two different people hawking "Run, Jake, Run!" T-shirts in town. I liked one of them and if he's along the road tomorrow, I may just get one LOL

Due to my late afternoon houseguest (whom I enjoyed seeing), I got off schedule a bit with the work project and then with leisure viewing. It took me a good hour to get today's work written up.

You can make ice creams with 2% milk and skim milk... But then you usually add an egg yolk or two. Or cornstarch. But if you use fruits like bananas and papayas, then those can help with the "mouth feel" of the finished product.
You can also make granitas in an ice cube tray. Pour some fruit juices into an ice cube tray. Freeze. Then blend them until their slushy.

When I got back to viewing, I put in the last of the DIRTY HARRY movies, THE DEAD POOL. A good premise for the movie but the ending was disappointing. I hadn't seen the movie in a few years, and I was hoping it might play better this time around. It didn't even though the Blu-ray looked and sounded splendid.
-
Next I took out Season 4 of THE CLOSER and rewatched an episode: the one with the teenage bombers. Heartrending,
-
BURN NOTICE had a wonderful summer finale tonight. Very exciting and a great cliffhanger taking us into its winter run, likely in January.
-
I'm planning to see Julie and Julia this weekend. I'm not quite half way through the book,. so I may wait until saturday or Sunday in the hopes I can finish the book before I go.
-
Happy Birthday td. And many more.
-
For dinner I had Ben & Jerry's pistachio pistachio.
Really busy day, did not care that I ate the whole thing.

On the way back uptown, I stopped at Lincoln Square to pick up my ticket for the 10:00am showing tomorrow morning. And since I hit a certain "level" with my AMC card, I also got a coupon for a free popcorn! Should be a good morning. Now I just need to plan out the rest of the day - the food in particular. ;)
-
And if you want to read the Julie/Julia Project Blog that started it all.... I'm pretty sure this is it

I did not take notes while reading the posts, so I hope you don't mind if I say:
Congrats.
Health vibes.
Rain yes, flooding no.
I'm having a serious blond moment on the rest.

Thank you DRs Sam and Vixmom.

Heading down now quite a bit earlier than usual to get ready for bed.
Good night!
-
Better go, my chores are calling me.
Hope everyone is looking forward to tomorrow being Friday, and for the weekend being near.
Goodnight all.
Sweet dreams.
-
I hope JRAND had a wonderful show and that he stays dry!!
-
bedtime for this baby night all!
-
Just a heads up for anyone who sometimes watches The Young & The Restless.
Tomorrow (friday) is a not to be missed show. Everything that pertains to nikki especially.
-
Ok, better get some sleep. I'm really glad tomorrow is Friday. This weekend I have to start emptying out all my cupboards in the kitchen. Wednesday Night Chris is going to help me take the old countertops out and Thursday they new countertops will be here. I can't wait to have them in but I'm not looking forward to doing all the prep.
-
I probably don't have to empty my upper cupboards, but I think I'm going to take out all the glass. I can't help but thing that there will be vibration and pounding of some sort or another. and if I'm wrong. It's a good time to clean out all the cupboards and maybe rearrange a few things.
-
Time to go home...actually, to my sister's to put up some shelves in her kitchen pantry. :P
Until later.
I think I need a brother like you!
-
Well... I'm hoping to grab an actual breakfast before I head to the movie in the morning, so...
Goodnight.
-
Good night, Jose!
-
Good night, td. Hope your birthday was spectacular.
-
I watched a motion picture on Blu-Ray and am done with my viewing for the evening. Happy news is that How To Murder Your Wife is down to less than 100 copies.
