Post by: Ben on February 05, 2010, 03:18:27 AM: Well, Blazing Saddles doesn't hold up, at least for me. There are some very funny moments but overall it's a bore. I remember laughing a lot back when I first saw it. I don't think I've seen it since then (1974). Ms. Kahn is very funny and I think the concept was probably quite daring in 1974 but it wears thin very quickly. As Hedda Lettuce said, "this is straight camp"

I turned off the lights at 11:00 pm last night to be awakened between 1:45 and 3:00 am by the ins and outs of the neighbor above me and the dog bouncing about the apartment with his claws tapping on the wood floor. I am not amused, and I guess I owe the landlord a call.

After the doctor, Toyland for a bit; I'll fax the questionable page of "Evaline McCook" to my colleague Curtis and have hi email it back to me as a jpg file so I can post it.

Here is a similar recipe.

http://www.thatsmyhome.com/recipes-food-6.htm

Thanks DRs jose and jane for your comments. As you can see from this recipe there is a chocolate syrup mixed in part of the cheescake. And also I think it's definitely necessary to have the "chocolate fudge" over the top. I am going to make homemade reese peanut buttercups and i am going to make the sauces homemade.

I did find a few recipes. I think as long as the sauces taste good, i should be okay.

And it's for a SuperBowl party DR Jane, so it's not a test run! :)

Post by: Matt H. on February 05, 2010, 06:58:16 AM: I think I forgot to mention watching NCIS: LA yesterday. The young black agent (who hadn't made much of an impression) was written out of the show last week, and this week they're already talking about replacing a character they really don't need. Both main stars split investigative work. They have a less experienced female agent, an IT guy, and an in-house shrink along with the head of the agency, so the cast should be set. They just don't need another junior agent who has little to do.

It's made for our big bell table. Plus the ones we have don't have the wire running on the back. The skirts for the table have velcro pockets into which aluminum poles (for wont of a better word) stick up and the stand fits on those. Unfortunately no one at the church seems to remember from whom we got the original equipment, so I'm going to have keep researching. Or simply buy new bell tables, LOL (not a bad thing--these are about 25 years old and are more than a bit wonky).

And Cornelia Otis Skinner was QUITE the Sapphic nightmare as Miss Holloway. How FUN was she!!??!!

I must confess I love it most of all for the terrific Victor Young score...particularly that main theme. At times, it seems at odds with what is being portrayed on screen. For its time (1944), it certainly wasn't the "typical" ghost story/mystery score.

I wrote a remake of this fifteen years ago. Ms. Holloway's sapphic side became a bit more pronounced. Needless to say, it never got made. Though I relied more heavily on the original book more so than the film, I realized mid-way through, remaking such an iconic film was not a good idea. "Why do they always remake our good films?

Thanks for the insurance company vibes, all! One of their reasons for the denial was that I "declined to learn medication therapy that can be taught to a non-skilled patient or caregiver." Yes, I did turn my nose up at the idea of giving myself injections in my stomach - who wouldn't?

Did the insurance cover the injections last time? Did anyone make the same offer this time? I think you have a case since injections are usually short time. Have you already switched to pills?

The sad part is, no one cares anymore, unless it's a bookstore where they can have some coffee and sit and read things for free and only choose from the larder of crap that's released today. I was in Vroman's last night and looking at all the latest fiction books and it is really shocking that the book trade has turned into what motion pictures have turned into.

Post by: bk on February 05, 2010, 10:01:13 AM: Oh, and I'm up. I had a lovely telephonic call from muse Margaret. She loved the last 100 pages of the book, but read them quickly last night knowing we'd be talking this morning. So, she's going to read them again because there were just a couple of things she wanted to be sure were okay. She already found the one thing that was bothering me and I just asked her to look for a place where I might add what we both feel is missing. It would just be one short paragraph but it's really necessary. But the two most pleasing things for me was that she thought the section I'd been most worried about was perfect and she said she would not change one word of the epilogue.

Post by: Charles Pogue on February 05, 2010, 10:08:52 AM: BK, I agree about the book trade. I was in an area Borders awhile back and, even given its limited stock, it wasn't as varied and good as it had been a year before.

Of course, I'm partly guilty as I do a lot of my book buying on the internet these days, but that's because I can't find what I want in stores anymore. But I sure do miss the days of genteel browsing and those happy, unexpected discoveries.
Title: Re: AT ONE WITH THE WORLD
Post by: bk on February 05, 2010, 10:12:51 AM: Also in the amusing department: I think I mentioned that I'd had a telephonic call with someone who appears in the book, just to get a timeline right. And that she became very worried about what I might have written. And then she asked if muse Margaret could come to lunch today. And then did she have muse Margaret's correct phone number? Like I didn't know what was in her head. So, as I knew she would, she called muse Margaret last night and went on and on, because she knows the only person who can get me to change something in these books is muse Margaret. Others can make suggestions and comments, all of which I take seriously and all of which I discuss with Margaret, but only if she says okay does something change.

But this gal has always been a controlling and manipulative person so I knew she'd do this, thinking if she could convince Margaret to speak to me that I might change things. Unfortunately for her, she doesn't know muse Margaret. Happily, Margaret had finished the book so she'd read all the stuff about this person, which really if you add up all the paragraphs in which she's mentioned is maybe two or three pages total out of 526. This person said to Margaret, "I wasn't a very good partner" and in that one sentence you knew how petrified she was about what I might write.

But what she fails to realize is that the book isn't about her. And that part of her is not in the book at all. As Margaret told her "You know, I was very close with Bruce during that whole thing and he never told me anything bad about you, just that he loved you and that it wasn't working out." And then she told her that she comes off glowingly in the book, and that is correct. The only one who comes off a little poorly in that section is me, because the truth of the matter is, I was in a very bad place and that caused me to behave poorly, which probably exacerbated her problems.

Lunch today will be very interesting. I will not discuss the book at all, other than to say I don't think there's anything in there that will bother her but if there is there's nothing I can or will do about it. The book is an honest, truthful look at one person's then-life. Most of the time I'm not even interpreting events I'm just saying what they were.

I will also tell her that if she were writing a book that I'd hope she would be as gentle as I was, but if she wasn't, that would just be too bad for me.

She's better on the studio cast than on the Lincoln Center recording, although the Lincoln Center has Constance Towers singing rings around the pathetic Julie of Anita Darian(?). I like a lot of that Columbia/SONY recording: it was the first to include the Act One Finale.

Ben, I'm with you there! I'll be finding other activities to pass the time.

LOL, reminds me of the time Bryan almost had his car towed in Ann Arbor because he didn't know it was a game day. They expect you to know this in Ann Arbor. The signs only say no parking on game day. He heard the band begin playing and ran back to his car just before the tow truck hooked up his car & was very lucky the guy was nice & didn't continue.

I'm pretty used to Herbert's writing by now. The word I thought looked like "en" is definitely so: he writes his o's with wings and it can lok like an n. The big word definitely ends in "ch" and it's just lke the "ch" on the end of "catch" earler in the verse.

The Oxford American Dictionary gives as one definition of "Switch": a tress of real or false hair.

That would make sense for a country hick, I guess.

Post by: elmore3003 on February 05, 2010, 12:41:23 PM: So, I have a new "Evaline McCook" game Here's the final verse that scans the music, if we assume that "switch" is the correct word:

When Miss Evaline McCook at the city took a look
There on her a very pleasant lady smiled
And she said to her, "My dear, will you hold this infant here
Till I go and buy a biscuit for this child?"
But Eva answered "Nix! Though such amateurish tricks
Often catch the country bumpkin and beguile 'em,
Your child I will not mind so run along and find
Somebody else to act as an asylum!

Oh, she was a country girl
Her switch was so full of hay
But when she did not know the street, she always knew the way!
Oh, she was a country girl
But well did she know her book
If in search of a jay you had best stay away from Evaline McCook!

Here's the original lyric Herbert was given before he requested alterations to fit his tune:

When Miss Evaline McCook at the city took a look,
A pocket book upon the street she spied;
The people passed it by: for ‘twas April fool, that's why
To take that pocket book nobody tried.
“Ah, an ancient trick like that,” They remarked. “is quite too flat;
That purse is filled with nothing else but hay.”
Then up from the cold cold ground Eva plucked the purse and found
The sum of twenty thousand dollars in it.

Oh, little Eva, nothing could deceive her!
Though she was a country girl she knew her little book
Oh, little Eva, alone they’d better leave her
When into town to spend the day comes Evaline McCook.

Here's the game: how would you rewrite this lyric - you can ignore the refrain since it would stay the same - so the first eight lines scanned like the final version we've been trying to decipher?

No, I think DR JMK is correct about "switch," but I think hair being full of hay makes more sense than his whip being full of hay. If it weren't for his suggestion, I never would have gone to the disctionary since I was still trying to fnd an alternative word.

DIVA TALK: Chatting with She Loves Me Tony Nominee and Good Ol' Girls Star Sally Mayes (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/136590-DIVA-TALK-Chatting-with-She-Loves-Me-Tony-Nominee-and-Good-Ol-Girls-Star-Sally-Mayes)

From the second page:

Question: Any chance of another CD?
Mayes: Well, we've been talking about it a little bit. I have to find a label that wants to do it, because all of my labels seem to be kaput. I want to do a Christmas album before I hang up my vocal chords. [Laughs.] I think that would be really, really fun. Patrick Brady is my genius arranger and partner in all of the stuff we've done all of these years. We have so much fun. We're always coming up with ideas for Christmas stuff and going, "When we do the Christmas album…" [Laughs.]

And then she goes on from there.

I keep hoping that a certain label will put the catalogue for sale and we can all chip in and buy it back :-)

Funny, I thought a switch referred to her hair, but then what is a farm girl doing wearing a hair piece?

I just posted about that. In 1900, every woman had switches and pads of rags under their hair to achieve those big do's.

Maybe she used hay instead of rags?

Post by: bk on February 05, 2010, 03:14:40 PM: Back from an interesting lunch, most of which was fun after we got the stuff out of the way. When the person saw that I wasn't going to be explaining myself or my reasons, and once I told her that if she was writing a book and I knew I was going to be in it, I would not do what she's doing, I'd just hope for the best, she seemed to be at peace with it. She said that she didn't really care if it was bad or good, but that's just not so, obviously. At one point she said, "Well, what if one of my friends reads it and says 'so you were in a relationship with Bruce tell me about THAT'" and I said, "Well, we can't wipe away history so if someone asks you about it tell them or don't, who cares?" After all that, we had a very nice time.
Title: Re: AT ONE WITH THE WORLD
Post by: Jane on February 05, 2010, 03:16:16 PM: John G, when do you begin the shots? I did them years ago. I had problems & never reached the full dosage. They did help though & I eventually didn't need them anymore. Will you have to wait 20 minutes after a shot to make sure you don't have a reaction? I kept threatening to leave thinking it was a waste of my time, until the day I had a potentially dangerous reaction. After that I was never tempted to split before the 20 minutes, nor was our son Bryan who also had shots.
Title: Re: AT ONE WITH THE WORLD
Post by: John G. on February 05, 2010, 03:40:39 PM: DR Jane: I just had a Prednizone (sp?) shot today and some blood taken. I did three years of allergy shots and they only caused health problems for me, such as having to have my ears vacuumed (glad I don't have to have that done anymore). I'm allergic to Mother Nature, and that's about all there is to it.

I probably won't pay too much attention to the game Sunday, but I have had fun this week studying up on Cajun/Creole food from New Orleans and such Indianapolis favorites as sugar cream pie. In fact, I made one of those pies last night. It's a fairly incredible mixture of sugar and flour with cream and vanilla. Man, is it ever good.

I almost posted the same thing. But then figured he must be fast forwarding through them.

It's funny but Whoopi Goldberg had a similar rant saying there were so many commercials. She said she wanted to watch the show live.
But I don't really get that. I watched it when it was on. I just started 20 minutes after it started. So i basically just watched the show. No commercials. No waiting.

I am quite impressed that many of the guys will be preparing their dishes. A few will be buying their stuff. But at least 2 of the guys will be making homemade dishes!

I know i am going to make crab roll-ups, and i have some shortbread cookies i made in the freezer. And some fudge. I may make one other kind of sandwich. I would normally make a 7 layer dip. But i figure since there will already be salsa and another dip I will probably just make something else instead.

Post by: bk on February 05, 2010, 07:15:09 PM: Just had a really long telephonic conversation with muse Margaret. She'd reread the last 100 pages, this time without rushing. She had a few suggestions, all excellent and helpful. But she was having some real problem with everything that followed my big epiphany, which is the crux of the book. She felt some of the joy and fun was missing from everything that followed, and yet she liked most of the stories. We cut a few things that she felt were unnecessary or slowed things down. I said we could conceivably end the book at the epiphany - she sort of liked that for ten seconds, but then we never really see the little journey to the real life change. And then I finally got her to boil it down to something very specific, which is that after the big moment, there's a little leap to the next paragraph and that's what was really bothering her. Once I knew that, I suggested a line to precede that paragraph, playing on the line that ended the previous paragraph and thereby tying those two things together. And that did it for her, because suddenly everything was more positive. And then we found two other places to play on that line and it just lit up the whole last thirty pages of the book. And that is why I love muse Margaret.

Unless my DVR is recording so many things at the same time that I had to watch something "live," I NEVER watch TV without going through the DVR any more. I can squeeze in more viewing by starting a show late and playing catch-up with it. By the time the show actually ends, I've caught back up with it but without having to sit through any commercials.

DR Jane - I really do hope that Craig - is it Craig who's now in MD? - does not have to be on the roads over the next few days. I'm watching The Weather Channel right now, and... WOW! It really is coming down pretty hard around the DC area right now. -And since the DC Metro has already announced that they are suspending service to the above ground stations... And Reagan/Washington-National has already cancelled ALL flights for the rest of tonight and tomorrow... And 80% of the flights at both Dulles and BWI have already been cancelled tomorrow...

Jose - no rumbling and I must say it was sold out last night - although some of that may have been paper. For lunch - the California Market Salad.

Do you really think that the Playhouse will be closed for good?

It's a little hard to know. There is a part of me that thinks this was done for publicity and to see if they could get support - I suppose we'll know soon.

I see that Universal will be releasing a Barbara Stanwyck box in April that contains one of my all-time favorite performances of hers: ALL I DESIRE (directed by DOuglas Sirk). Really looking forward to that release.

How wonderful! I have ALL I DESIRE on a region 2 dvd, and it is a favorite of mine as well. I must do some googling and find out the other titles in the set! Probably THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW will be one of them...another goodie!
