Today is going to be a day.  There's going to be a poster-hanging in downtown Olympia for Cannibal! The Musical!, today at noon, but I won't be there.  I had already planned on going to my sister's to help her with..something (I don't remember what) and then I have to go to rehearsal from 3:30 to 6:30.  After that, I'm free to watch TV.

Good morning, all!  This is a day where my schedule is not my own and I am not happy about it. I have a meeting late this afternoon about the Appalachian Christmas show,  which will most likely take place around 23rd Street. Since Toyland is on 27th, I'll stop by there and get some more of my possessions after the meeting. The problem is I'm not sure that's where we're meeting, and I wn't know until I hear from DJ. So, I've got a day centered on waiting to hear from him.

Last night I had a long dream about being kidnapped along with a married couple of friends. Although the objective of the kidnapping was never clear, the kidnappers were a redneck family in some homeland terrorist group who were clearly up to something, although I have no idea what it could be, mostly threats like "we have all your information," and other gobbledy gook. I can understand someone wanting to kill me, but nobody wants to have me around 24/7.

Good morning all!    All clocks are sprung forward and all battery run clocks have had their batteries changed.

I'm having a little bit of a problem with the one in the living room because it is a temp. clock as well.  It doesn't seem to want to reconnect with the temp. gauge outside.   I'm leaving it alone for now hoping it will reset itself.

I've decided that for this year I want to bake my corned beef for St. Patricks day but all the recipes I've found say it takes at least 2 hours.  I don't want to wait until bedtime to eat so I'm going to bake it today and freeze it for Thursday.

I've never been a big fan of boiled cabbage either and found a new recipe to sautee it with onions.  Sounds good.  Anyway I shall give it a try.

Here is the web page with the recipes:

Something that is probably NOT news to HHW readers.....I think I knew this, but forgot it.

Martha Plimpton from RAISING HOPE is the daughter of Shelly Plimpton who sang "Frank Mills" in the original Broadway cast of HAIR and Mr Keith Carradine.....who joined the show at a later date.....and was with Shelly for awhile.

As I peruse the internet this morning, and particularly HHW, I am listening to the soundtrack to the 1964 film GOGOLA, which is the Bollywood version of GODZILLA (Gojira).

The songs are quite peppy and fun. I imagine the movie is, also.

And also of some interest to some is that Martha is the god-daughter of our dear friend Bill Parry, who was among many other roles the Boatman in original Sunday in the Park..., the father in Road Show and in the Bernadette Peters Gypsy, and also starred in the original production of the musical The Last Starfighter, and who also sang a few songs in this very apartment last Friday.

Since I didn't get much posting done yesterday, I will try to make up for that today.

From yesterday's TOD, here are the last few books that I read:

Currently I am reading HALF ASSED MARINES, a book written by one of my interviewees Seamon Glass (star of the sci fi film THIS IS NOT A TEST).


(https://asiimages.s3.amazonaws.com/172107_xl.gif)


I have only just started the book, but it is likely to be quite entertaining. Seamon used to write a column for a California newspaper back in the 1980s, and he was very funny.

The book I just finished was ALARM OF THE BLACK CAT, which is part of a series of mystery books from the 1940s/50s featuring elderly Rachel Murdock who somehow always manages to become embroiled in murder. Takes place in Los Angeles, which makes it quite fun.

I just bought a new laptop. I will also be purchasing a new desktop in the next couple of days. The laptop should be here by the end of March but they give you a later date and it usually ships before so we shall see.

We will be giving the old laptop to Anthony's mother. She doesn't like the old, old desktop we gave here 4 years ago so she should be pleased with this one.

I shall scrub the hard drive of the old desktop on Long Island and also the old desktop here in NY and then we will figure out what to do with them.

Bruce I think you should speak to the manager of the restaurant.  You might be offered something to return, if not fine.  If nothing else the management knows why you won't be returning.  My experience has been some sort of explanation is offered, especially a regular, is looking at empty tables.  We have also been given a table with a deadline to be out by.  One advantage to that is the service is fast. :)

Post by: bk on March 13, 2011, 01:43:55 PM
The funny thing about the Eclectic is they've been doing almost no business the last six months and more.  The ONLY time this has apparently happened is when there's an opening night at the theater where the show was.  The problem is, when you keep out the regulars and don't figure it out, then that opening night fickle crowd never returns.  So, all they really had to do was put us at a table that was being held for a seven o'clock reservation and we would have been out by then.  But instead, they kept the tables empty, lost me, and will go back to business as usual today.

This weekend is the first weekend that my shoulder hasn't hurt.   It's a little stiff and sore in that way, but not the pain I felt for about 6 weeks.   Needless to say there's lots of cleaning I skipped doing while it hurt.  I'm trying to pace myself today.  I'm getting quite a bit done, but taking lots of breaks so I don't over do it.

this will be a good week.  I don't have any court hearings set.  That's the first time I remember that happening in...well I don't remember the last time that happened.   I think I like the way my practice is changing.  I didn't realize how rarely I get to go to the office and be there all day without racing to this court or that court or the jail or somewhere.  It's much more relaxing

Good Evening!

When I headed out earlier, I meant to run an errand or two, and then head to a matinee. Well, I ended up dawdling a little too long here at the apartment, and just ended up going to the matinee. And what a matinee it was!

I went to see Peter and the Starcatcher (http://nytw.org/peter_info.asp) at New York Theatre Workshop. It's based on Peter Pan pre-quel written by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson - the book for the show is written by Rick Elice of Jersey Boys fame.

What a truly magical piece of Theatre!  Roger Rees and Alex Timbers co-directed the production, and their directing sensibilities created one beautifully irreverent and heart-warming gem of a show. The cast is led is by Adam Chanler-Berat, Christian Borle and my beloved Celia Keenan-Bolger.

I had played the auditions for the La Jolla workshop production two years ago - the songs are written by Wayne Barker - and it was nice to see the finished project. I remember being moved to tears during the auditions when the actors were reading some of their scenes, and, yes, I cried again today.

The book I just finished was ALARM OF THE BLACK CAT, which is part of a series of mystery books from the 1940s/50s featuring elderly Rachel Murdock who somehow always manages to become embroiled in murder. Takes place in Los Angeles, which makes it quite fun.

A prototype for Jessica Fletcher? ;)

Has anyone seen Guy Fieri's live show?   I'm trying to decide if it's worth getting a ticket. Tickets for everything are so expensive these days it isn't that easy to decide what I want to do

I haven't been to his live show, but Doug from The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck (http://www.biggayicecreamtruck.com/) has.  In fact, he even reviewed it for Eat Me Daily (http://www.eatmedaily.com/2009/11/guy-fieri-roadshow-report-a-real-life-drama-in-three-acts/).  -And it's quite a review. ;)

I did run into Guy Fieri last summer during the New York Wine & Food Festival. He was drunk, loud and foul-mouthed, and he and his posse were also quite chauvinistic and asshole-y.

It looks like we're cast now - I'm waiting for a final final okay from one performer who had to check with her husband, but I think we're fine now.  Our cast is Roger Befelor (Kim Huber's ever-lovin' and the Beast on tour with Beauty and the Beast), Kirsten Chandler, Dan Callaway (his fifth, I think), Juliana Hansen, and Alet Taylor, along with Melody Hollis and a TBD guest star.

Back from Choral Evensong and the local Episcopal church.  It was a lovely service and there was a nice reception afterwards.  Caught up with a lot of friends, one of whom had with him a pictorial directory from the Methodist church we attended until Rob was in high school.  This one was from the year before I moved to Middletown, so there were many pictures of Richard's family and of his mother's friends.

All I have left to pack are my books, CDs and clothes. Thankfully, I've pared down my library, so there's not as much to pack as there originally was when I moved in here six years ago. Also, since I still had so much stuff in boxes, I don't have to pack those things up. ;)

Because in over ten years of going there I have never had to make a reservation at six o'clock in the evening - ever.  Weekdays, weeknights, empty at six.  Unfortunately, in making many reservations for seven they simply opted to keep the tables empty for an hour.
