Post by: George on March 30, 2010, 01:29:41 AM: Last night's rehearsal for The Brain went well. We ran through most of the act 1 songs and reblocked a moment in the opening number (a potential train wreck was averted). We didn't have the Brain (which Josh just found out about on Friday ::)) or Yoni and a couple of chorus folk, but we got through what we needed to. I (and the chorus) don't need to be at rehearsal tonight, and since there are no rehearsals on Wednesdays, I won't have rehearsal again until Thursday.

Post by: George on March 30, 2010, 01:31:35 AM: Last night (Monday), this afternoon and tonight, the national tour of CATS (http://www.washingtoncenter.org/season/season_detail.asp?event_id=1112) will be at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts (http://www.washingtoncenter.org/). I'm taking the day off from work to usher for the matinee performance! I've never seen the show live, and I finally will...and I get to see the inflatable set! I signed up for the matinee, expecting to have rehearsal this evening, but we didn't find out until Sunday that the chorus would not be needed tonight. :P If I had known this, I wouldn't have taken the day off, but oh, well. It's only vacation time. :)

I do recall a place in Seattle called, I believe, Burgermaster. It was a drive-in, and they made the greatest hamburgers in the world. They were also the messiest.

When it comes to hambugers, messy is good.

Title: Re: ELIJAH THE NO-SHOW
Post by: Dan (the Man) on March 30, 2010, 06:05:34 AM: Speaking of journals, I'm just about finished THE RED LEATHER DIARY by Lily Koppel. I had started it about a year ago but misplaced it on a weekend trip (it was just returned to me.) What a wonderful book! I've always had a strong affinity for the early 30's, especially involving Manhattan and its environs--I really do think I lived there in my previous life. I think a couple of peeps here have also read this book. I recommend it highly.

Today I have to be out in the rain: first a trek to Toyland, followed by a meeting at Rodgers & Hammerstein, which is only a block away from Toyland. After that, I guess I will wander back here to uncover whatever fresh hell awaits me.

I have no memory of food. Books, movies, concerts, shows, that I remember!

Post by: Jrand73 on March 30, 2010, 06:41:39 AM: I am sure the first hamburger I had was at home.

The first restaurant hamburger I had was at a little restaurant in downtown Mooresville, where we got to sit on a swivel stool that was attached to the floor. My feet didn't touch the floor, and I was more interested in the seating arrangements than the hamburger....but it had dill pickles slices on it...and I loved the flavors together.

Of course we had the White Castle hamburgers which I still eat from time to time when I am not on a diet.

But my favorite right now - if I was in the market for same - would be the BK Double Broiler.

My walk was pure pleasure this morning. It was 45 which is perfect walking weather with a sweatshirt and sweatpants on, and the time passed in a flash. By the end of the week, I should be able to take off the sweatshirt and substitute a t-shirt instead. It's also supposed to be gorgeous all week long. Looks like I'll be doing some porch sitting while I cook lunch this week.

Couple takes a plural verb, acccording to the Associated Press stylebook. So, it would be "the couple are ..." Sounds awkward, but that's the rule I learned.

Title: Re: ELIJAH THE NO-SHOW
Post by: Jennifer on March 30, 2010, 07:28:07 AM: re: DANCING WITH THE STARS last night

There were only a few couples that impressed me.

I thought Nicole and derek were sensational. I know she has a bit of a dance background. But it's not just that. I think derek is one of the best choreographers. And to me that makes a huge difference. She is my definite favorite.

Even though i don't care for anna usually i thought her and evan were really good.

And even though i thought shannen was not too good last week. The jive suited her. And mark is a great choreographer.

I also thought that pamela anderson was interesting. I have no idea if she was dancing the steps correctly. But she totally imbodied marilyn monroe and she was really enjoyable to watch.

There were a bunch that were painful to watch. I know the judges praised erin. But to me she is stiff. But painful was chad. Last week i thought he had so much rhythm.

Buzz was also not too good. Although he was much better than last week.

But by far the most painful to watch was kate gosselin. I have to say that was one of the worst things i've seen. IT was really bad.

Post by: Ginny on March 30, 2010, 07:39:31 AM: Tuesday morning greetings! It's a beautiful day here in SW Ohio, the first of several predicted right through Easter Sunday. We're off to Cincinnati this afternoon to pick up the ham for tomorrow's "Green Eggs and Ham" dinner. I made the first batch of green (Jello) eggs this morning and will do another this evening. At some point, we should hear from my sister, who's arriving today from Michigan. There may be a get-together of some sort this evening at Otterbein (the retirement community) which is on our way home from Cincinnati.

I do know that the visiting contingent from Japan wants to go shopping today (well, my cousin's wife wants to go shopping). They caught a glimpse of the brand new outlet mall on their way in yesterday - it's right down the road from Otterbein, so my aunt won't have to worry too much about them getting lost (but she will anyway ::))

Title: Re: ELIJAH THE NO-SHOW
Post by: John G. on March 30, 2010, 07:44:17 AM: We didn't eat out a lot when I was growing up, and we certainly didn't eat at fast food places, so my first hamburger likely was at home. (I didn't keep a burger journal.) But we didn't eat them too often. Maybe that's why I'm such a hamburger addict now. Nothing like a good juicy burger (made with a 70:30 meat-to-fat ratio) and grilled over an open flame.

Toppings are important, too. I love what is called a dirty burger with a fried egg on top so the yolk breaks open and flavors the burger. Then there's the local favorite, the bean burger, with refried beans, Frito's and melted cheese. This past weekend, I came across a burger topped with foie gras that certainly sounded tempting, but I somehow passed on it.

My perfect burger will probably always be the next one to come.

When I read he was leaving, I immediately crossed the show off my must-see list. Nothing against Jeff GOldblum, but the show started with him and Erbe, and it isn't the same show without them. I was even willing to go along with them halving the season with him and (first) Chris Noth and then Goldblum, but for them not to be on the show at all, no thanks.

It was always affordable during college days (early '80s). It was a half-pound burger, cooked a perfect medium, and came with steak fries. Plenty of A-1 and it would hold me through the week. Yum.

Currently, my favorite fast food burger is still the Burger King Whopper, but I have been eating those Angus burgers at McDonalds a fair amount recently, and they're good, too.

Post by: Ginny on March 30, 2010, 07:53:59 AM: TOD - I just made burgers for our "Welcome Home, Rob!" dinner last night. We use Laura's Lean ground round and grill them on our George Foreman grill.

My favorite fast food burger is Culver's Butter Burger, especially when followed by a small caramel cashew sundae made with their vanilla frozen custard. Also, in Lima, there's a famous burger place called Kewpie that Richard likes because he can get a burger with his favorite topping - chopped green olives.

Post by: JoseSPiano on March 30, 2010, 07:56:38 AM: As for the Topic of the Day...

I'm guessing my first hamburger was probably from McDonald's or Roy Rogers. Or it could have been cooked on the grill in the backyard of our house on Walter Reed Drive in Arlington, VA.

Like DR John G, I also like a fried egg on my burger from time to time, but usually with a slice of pickled beet on it too - it's a very Australian thing. Otherwise: bacon, bleu cheese, caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, bread & butter pickles, swiss cheese, etc., etc., etc....

I'm trying to think of my current favorite burger in New York City, but no particular burger/restaurant is coming to mind. However, I can't really think of a burger I really don't like in New York City.

The show starred Brod. Crawford and a one (non) hit wonder named Jay Hamilton whose career began in 1961 and ended in 1962. I am pretty certain Jay was one of Henry Willson's clients.

Speaking of Gerald Mohr, a fine working actor, I just saw him in an episode of a really terrible tv series from 1961/62 called KING OF DIAMONDS. The show starred Brod. Crawford and a one (non) hit wonder named Jay Hamilton whose career began in 1961 and ended in 1962. I am pretty certain Jay was one of Henry Willson's clients.

Broderick Crawford.

He was a very nice, very gentle man.

So unlike his screen image.

...and, most importantly, ( ;D) he was Frances Farmer's love interest in BADLANDS OF DAKOTA. In fact one of the lines that got the biggest laugh in our read-through of my Farmer-Garland musical STARCROSSED was Frances saying that playing a love scene with Crawford was what led to her drinking problem. :)

Speaking of journals, I'm just about finished THE RED LEATHER DIARY by Lily Koppel. I had started it about a year ago but misplaced it on a weekend trip (it was just returned to me.) What a wonderful book! I've always had a strong affinity for the early 30's, especially involving Manhattan and its environs--I really do think I lived there in my previous life. I think a couple of peeps here have also read this book. I recommend it highly.

DR Dan - my book group read The Red Leather Diary last year and loved it!

I probably picked it up in the first place on either your or DR Elmore's raving about it then...

We have our own annual joke, which no one else gets. When Gabe was very young, he loved the film THE BORROWERS, and there's a line early in the film when the father and son get home and start to walk in their tiny little house, and the mother comes out, points at the rug and shouts, "CARPET!" (i.e., don't get it dirty). So every year when the Haggadah is explaining the various accoutrements and we get to Karpas, we all scream "KARPAS!" like the mom in THE BORROWERS. We typically get looks of confusion, and in fact did last night. :)

Me, too. As much as I like to help folks when one of these cinema questions comes up, if it's Jerry Lewis oriented, I can be of NO help. I stopped watching him when he and Dean went their separate ways. I did see HARDLY WORKING because I had to review it, but all of those hits he churned out in the late 1950s and 1960s, I never saw a single one of them and never wanted to.

As a result, ABC has renewed CASTLE for next season, a full 22-episode season order! Hooray!

It's kind of hidden by the railyard, but it has a 1.5-pound Get Down Burger and a 3-pounder that's for dainty eaters like myself (though I have never ordered it).

There's also a place in town called Chunky's that serves a 4-Horseman Burger with four types of peppers on it, including that Indian ghost pepper, which is so hot the Indian government is thinking of making a weapon out of it.

Ahhhhhhhhhh....THREE ON A COUCH. I don't think I ever saw that movie.

I try to avoid all of Jerry Lewis' movies.

;D

Me, too. As much as I like to help folks when one of these cinema questions comes up, if it's Jerry Lewis oriented, I can be of NO help. I stopped watching him when he and Dean went their separate ways. I did see HARDLY WORKING because I had to review it, but all of those hits he churned out in the late 1950s and 1960s, I never saw a single one of them and never wanted to.

Jerry's film GEISHA BOY is very touching and is one of my all time favorite movies.

It has been so many years since I have seen any of the other Jerry Lewis solo movies, that I couldn't tell you if they were enjoyable (to me) or not.

TOD - I just made burgers for our "Welcome Home, Rob!" dinner last night. We use Laura's Lean ground round and grill them on our George Foreman grill.

My favorite fast food burger is Culver's Butter Burger, especially when followed by a small caramel cashew sundae made with their vanilla frozen custard. Also, in Lima, there's a famous burger place called Kewpie that Richard likes because he can get a burger with his favorite topping - chopped green olives.

Yum! Richard and I are going to have to visit Kewpie some time.

It features Anna Wintour (Vogue). But it also stars someone who I had never seen on screen before, Grace Coddington (creative director of Vogue). I love her! Very good movie. I really enjoyed it.

Came home and ate pizza with Rob and watched NCIS.

At Penney's we were looking for bed sheets that are not in sets. We have a queen-size bed, but like king-sized top sheets and JCP no longer carries anything but sets. At Kenwood, I happened into Pottery Barn and the clerk did not look at me like I had two heads; she even said they had what I wanted and that a lot of people look for individual sheets.

At my mom's, we visited with her and my sister & brother-in-law, but we missed my cousin and his family. They were still out shopping and my aunt was about to call the authorities to report them missing. She called right before we left to report that they were "home."

Post by: Cillaliz on March 30, 2010, 08:23:04 PM: It was a beautiful day here today. It was 77 degrees. Tomorrow and Thursday it's going to be in the 80s then rain over the weekend. I'm going to try to get outside and do some yard work. I have to be home at 4:00 PM tomorrow for the guy to do the estimate for new windows. So, I'll have time for yard work

Post by: Cillaliz on March 30, 2010, 08:25:33 PM: I took the day off from outside work today. I was so sore after 3 1/2 hours of powerwashing on Sunday and 1 1/2 hours of raking last night. When the Aleve wore off I was in PAIN!!! So I'm resting tonight and will take a hot bath before bed. I think I'll be fine tomorrow. Today I was sitting at the computer typing most of the day, so that didn't help. Having a couple things I was really worried about done two days before deadline is helping too!

This was one of the most convoluted plots ever, harkening back to the early days of CI. One surprising plot development, which I won't spoil, though those of you who keep up on backstage comings and goings may be able to guess it.

Just saw last night's ratings. CASTLE once again achieved its highest ever rating last night and led all programs at 10 p.m. It was helped along by a very strong DANCING WITH THE STARS lead-in, but it's obvious the show is growing in popularity since it didn't get these kinds of ratings last year even it followed this same show.

As a result, ABC has renewed CASTLE for next season, a full 22-episode season order! Hooray!

HOO and RAY!!

Post by: George on March 30, 2010, 10:33:30 PM: Today, I ushered for the touring production of Cats, and it was the very first time that I've seen it. I have the DVD and I had (:'() several recordings, but I'd never actually seen the show live. I have to say that I enjoyed it very much! A couple of the dancers weren't quite as good as the rest (but they were still pretty good) and all of the singers (and singing) were very good. They didn't do "The Aweful Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles," but it was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon of mindless entertainment. Today's performance was an added show AFTER they practically sold out last night and tonight's shows.

I have to say, I do have a soft-spot for Cats. I used to play that Overture from the vocal selections all the time.

Post by: George on March 31, 2010, 12:01:27 AM: I just watched tonight's episodes of "Lost" and "V." I certainly hope that there is a very good payoff for "Lost." And I'm just not so sure about "V," either. How can a few humans fight against the seemingly THOUSANDS of alien spaceships that they continually show and ALL the aliens that must be in those spaceships?? :P
