Well, you've read the notes, the notes said hello and bye bye, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently trying to figure out why there isn't a musical called Bye Bye Cow.

And the word of the day is: SHIRTY!

Please do, especially children of the wind - but rags would be good, too, just to see if there's any difference.

I'll do it at work because the copy machine there can make one pdf file with multiple pages. I haven't figured out how to do that at home (I can only scan one page at a time). I'll also fix a wrong note in one of the songs. :)

good morning to all

Morning all.
That is all.

And the word of the day is: SHIRTY!
And The Song Of The Day Is: WITHOUT YOU
-
Why am I up this early? I'll tell you why - because I had a feeling that I could not shake and when I went to my pants pocket to check, it was true: This little silly thing that someone gave me about eight years ago and that I have had with me in my pocket every day since is gone, thanks to that STUPID security check last night. I am FURIOUS and I'm sure it's long lost, although I'll call this morning and give them a rather strong piece of my mind and suggest that if they don't have it they're going to replace it.

Good morning, all! In yesterday's mail I got the new biography of Jerry Orbach, and I stayed up way too late reading it. It isn't very good; the author cannot even title the photos correctly: that's Jerry as Macheath in the 1955 THREEPENNY OPERA, not as the Streetsinger.
Yesterday could have been horrendous but it ended up a nice 6-hour session, playing through the vocal score and discussing EILEEN, My friend Greg Jarrett played piano for four hours and then the last two were discussions about the recording, the Herbert recordings we've done, etc. I was quite happy with the day's events.
This afternoon, laundry and mopping the floors. Then I have work to do on this Appalachian Christmas piece. I need to see if two folksongs can be performed together.

Thursday morning greetings! Typhoid Mary, here. Our anniversary brunch plans have been scrubbed because my brother-in-law has caught my cold. Guess maybe I shouldn't have helped my sister fix dinner the other night...

If this isn't the funniest thing (on several levels) you've read this morning, please post something better:
JODIE FOSTER DEFENDS MEL GIBSON
"I'm not defending his behavior. I'm defending the man that I know. And I know he's kind and loyal and is an incredible professional," she tells the Associated Press. "He's probably the most beloved actor of anybody I've ever worked with in the film business. And I don't say that lightly."
Foster adds that Gibson's recent struggles helped inform his performance as a depressed man who only communicates with his family through a beaver puppet he wears on his hand.
-
I smell an Oscar. . .for the beaver puppet.
-
BK, is it too late to change today's subject to
BYE BYE BEAVER PUPPET
-
Glad DR ELMORE had a good day yesterday - and vibes for another one today.
-
I smell an Oscar. . .for the beaver puppet.
I'd vote for the puppet.
-
Canceled brunch? The Queen would NEVER permit such a thing, DR GINNY
-
MR BK - it is a travesty that you lost something during the "search" - not sure complaining will do any good - but keep trying until you get somebody who will at least mention the call in a meeting sometime.....not someone who will forget or dismiss the conversation as soon as you hang up.
-
What a terrific book DR CILLA LIZ! I have heard of it, but I have never seen a copy!
As for LITTLE RICKY and the Dr Pepper box.....well, I do the same thing with jeans.
-
Love, love, loving Eden Atwood's Bossa Nova album, which includes a lovely reading of "A Quiet Thing."
-
Big brother "turned in" little brother last night. Little brother had been looking at some questionable videos on YouTube. I went back and looked through them, mostly harmless despite some shocking XXX titles, but my favorite was "Breast Massage," which turned out to be an informational video for women to self-check themselves for lumps. :)
-
TOD:
Bye Bye Birdie, of course
State Fair - where she and Pat Boone have some really nice chemistry, when I saw it as a youngster, I really thought they would end up together!
Our Sons - a tv movie with Julie Andrews
I Oughta Be In Pictures
I guess I started to look away when she played a sexy role in NEWSIES.....
I like her best now when she does character roles that don't depend on her SEX appeal.....if she even does those now. But she is a survivor, and she doesn't seem to be afraid of a challenge.

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And parts of Virginia area under Severe Weather Warnings again this morning. -And from the sound of the wind and rain blowing up against the windows here, well...
-
It's nice to see Ms Foster ("I'm not Jewish so he's never offended me and I'm not a lesbian, although I do change tires and move pianos with other butch women") defend her costar. When he starts showing worse signs of major mental disorder I wonder what she'll have to say.
-
bk - I hope your "silly little thing" is not lost.
-
Good morning! OUr office smells like gas this morning, so I called the maintenance guy and opened the windows. He things the trap on the furnace drain dried out and it's sewer gas. So he poured wated down the drain. Then he said someone else in the building smells it so he might be wrong and left. It really didn't smell like the scent added to natural gas, so I'm just going to leave the windows open for awhile and see if it goes away

I'm getting worried about you! First your water heater and now this. Have you got an ex client out to get you?
-
BK, I am hoping the Schmidt-Jones soundtrack works out.
-
bk - And as for that "STUPID" security check, well... Maybe something happened over the past couple of weeks that prompted them to post that sign as well as to institute that security check. Maybe there's been another spike in gang activity in LA. -Heck, bag checks have become routine at Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, and The Metropolitan Opera in New York City. It just takes one person with some sort of grudge, etc. to cause a lot a harm.
-When I went to the Philippines, there were "Please Check Your Firearms" signs at the malls in Manila. And I saw a few people who did. In any case...
I do hope that your memento turns up.

...And the rain has stopped and the birds are chirping outside... But there's still a lot of green, orange and red on the local weather radar.

She will say whatever she needs to say as long as the film needs publicity. It is Hollywood, after all, and she certainly doesn't want the film to fail.

LOL. no. I'm fine. I work in a building that is almost 100 years old. It's no surprise that there will be issues from time to time. It seems to be fine now. I still have one window open, but we're fine.
-
I actually do want to get a plate of Will and Kate. I have one from the Queen's coronation (That I have to repair, but don't tell my mother) I have one from the Queen's Silver Jubilee - I was there the week before the big celebration - I have one from Charles and Di's wedding, I think from when William was born...don't know why I don't have one for Harry. anyway, I need to find one. I prefer the smaller plates.
-
And yes, I'm getting up at 3:00 AM to watch the wedding coverage. What the heck. I have tomorrow clear so I can work and get some writing done. I can do that at home while I watch the wedding and do the laundry

Harry and Kate.... LOL Jose, I think that could possibly be a collectors item among those who collect Royals memorabelia.

In other news...
Aretha Franklin is on "The View" and she just finished singing "Respect"... And she looks good! -She's lost 85 pounds!

Think I'll wait until a month or two after the wedding. The plates may be cheaper then

I washed the front room window, and now it is dazzling clean. I wonder how it will look this evening when the light is shining through.

It's a post.

Don't remember if I posted about seeing Ali Vincent -5th season winner from The Big Loser yesterday. She talked a lot about what it's really like to be on the ranch. IT sounds brutal! They end up working out from 7:00 AM to 2:00 AM. Of course there are breaks and challenges etc. She also talked about being so sore that she had to roll out of bed, crawl across the floor, take her towel and lassoo the door knob and literally pull herself up. And how the doctors would slice the blisters on their feet, wrap the feet up and send them back to exercise. It just sounds awful

I will get one at Goodwill in September......
But that IS pretty funny......I wonder if they were really made like that - or if that's a sample that can be corrected?

Thanks DR Jose for yesterday's bagel report.

I freaked Gabe out this morning. I had to drop Zach at the dentist, which is right by Gabe's HS, so Gabe came along. I left Zach at the dentist's office and then ran up behind Gabe who was getting toward school and told him it was "Take your Dad to school day." I then started to follow him in the school. He was mightily confused. My work there was done. :)

DR JohnG - Are you on the "old" Yahoo mail? or the new "Upgraded" Yahoo mail? Maybe your account is part of the current batch upgrade. ???

For the first couple of nights I will be staying at the Burbank Marriott, while the HOllywood Show is there, afterwards I move to a cheap flophouse for the remainder! LOL!

I also saw TANGLED and I must say that there were some parts that were too scary for kids.
I would say that in a way they have targeted this to 5 year old girls. Yet there were some chase scenes with bad guys that made me niece very scared. She even wanted to leave the room (and she had already seen it).

And they said it wouldn't last...
Many they's said that about Keith and me when we started dating & even after we were married. I love proving them wrong.

Actually, the hotel I am staying at after the Marriott, is not really bad. Just your normal run of the mill hotel in Burbank. It is cheap because I booked it with the car and the flight together.

Greetings from Middletown, Ohio! I arrived home half an hour later than I should have because I missed a turn on the Ann Arbor bypass and found myself heading west on I-94. Had to turn around in Dexter, MI, and get back on the correct route south of A2. Still, I was home by 4:30, so I didn't run into rush hour traffic in Dayton. I've unpacked and had a light supper with Richard and Rob. Think I'll give in to my cold now...

Had a couple hours more sleep and have been doing stuff all day. I called the Academy and got security - they had an event going on and were frazzled but the guy took the info and said he'd call back in ten minutes. He was confused as to where I'd lost it - thinking it had been in the auditorium - I explained rather tersely that no, it was in THEIR search of our pocket contents in the little gray trays. He never called back, but I got him again around three and he said he'd just wanted to check with a few other people who were there last night. So, as of now, my little ladybug thing is still lost. I tried to go online to see if I could find something similar - I found plastic and wood, which I don't want - I don't know if what I had was glass or porcelain or ceramic - the closest I found was a lot of six little ladybugs made of glass, and I bought those on eBay. Hopefully I'll like one of them and it will be similar - I'm very used to having this in my pocket and I want it there. Stupid, I know, but that's the way it is.
-
I'm sure it was bought for me at a place like Ahhhs or a Hallmark shop, but I wouldn't know what to even ask for. It's not a charm that goes on something - no loop - and it's not a bead - no holes.
-
I made a couple of eggs to tide me over until I go to the Music Center. Best of all, I picked up my test books, both soft and hardcover. Looks great, so I placed my book order and in the next day or so it will be available for pre-order on the Kritzerland site. You will all be the first to know.

I also purchased a zipper pull, a chain that attaches to a zipper, with a litter Bernese Mountain Dog on the end. Yesterday I was in our favorite shop in town where we usually shop with Sherlock in tow.
The woman at the check-out saw my zipper chain, got all excited & asked if I have a Bernese Mountain Dog. Without laughing I said yes, I have Sherlock. She then exclaimed, "I LOVE SHERLOCK".

Woo Hoo!! my new bike just left Irving Texas....I should get it tomorrow!

BK was it a little figurine like this?

Sort of - mine didn't have feet, though. I think the assortment that I got earlier, like the one you linked, is glass and should be close to what I had.

That's a long ride!

Lady bug, Lady bug, fly home to BK!!

Color me amazed. I just watched the newish Blu-ray of MANDINGO and I found it to be a rather good film, despite all the brickbats that have been thrown at it over the years.
Ohmigod, you're turning into DR MBarnum!

Do you have to assemble it?

I think it's probably on a plane, lol

Do you have to assemble it?
Yes, but from what I've read it really just amounts to putting on the handle bars, putting on the seat, putting on the front tire and adjusting the brakes. If I have touble, I have a number of hard core biker (as in bicycle) friends who I'm sure would be glad to help me. I can't ride it until the battery has charged 8-12 hours anyway.
-
Having hard core biker friends is a plan, just in case. I would never attempt to build a bike. For years Bryan had a bicycle we purchased from my friend's son & babysitter, he built himself. It had a number of special items including a beautiful multi colored bike chain Bryan bought at the flea market & the neighbor installed. Of course the new bike the neighbor built was even nicer.
-
I thought WATER FOR ELEPHANTS was a terrific book. After reading the reviews I told Keith I don't want to see it & he should read the book.
-
Well, my cousin and his wife are up from Coquille, Oregon, visiting for the weekend. Of course, I have shows to do this weekend, so I decided to take tomorrow off from work. Right now, I'm going to visit them at my parents' house until I have to leave for the theater, and then we'll all have the day together, tomorrow and Saturday. They'll leave early Sunday morning. It'll be a whirlwind weekend. :D
Be back later!
-
Have a fun time with your cousins!!
-
Today's long drive + Bad cold + Wakefulness between 5 and 7am = 'night!

How very shocking to learn that Pete Menefee is gay! Who would have thought it? However, I am shocked to learn that he is dancing in GOT A LOT OF LIVIN' TO DO. Gee, another excuse to watch the film again.

Hey, DR TCB! Have you been to London ro visit the Queen?

BYE BYE COW? Wasn't that the role played by Tyne Daly in the TV version?

Well, we'll soon know for sure: I'm about to drive to Beaverton, so if I end up on your fire escape, we'll know the transformation is complete. :)
-
I'm assuming your fire escape comes complete with a beaver puppet, Larry.
-
I've been watching the first two acts of the Birmingham Royal Ballet's gorgeous production of Prokofiev's CINDERELLA. I will never like thes core much, although that G-minor waltz that closes the first act is magnificent, but the production is beautiful and nicely choreographed. The masks are amazing and the mice, lizard and frog are adorable in their 18th Century costumes. It's odd seeing women portray the ugly stepsisters since they're usually played by two men in drag. The dancer playing the stepmother is fantastic; she is mean, really mean, and plays evil really really well.
-
I smell an Oscar. . .for the beaver puppet.
I have read that Mr. Gibson is quite wonderful in the film.
-
Boy was it windy here today. Crazy windy.
-
American Idol made me very upset. :(

Since you're not swooming over Perry Kng's nudity yet, I guess you have some way to go. Are you craving an Indian or Indian food? Feel like strolling through the lobby of a senior citizen's weight lifting competition?

Is anyone other than DR Cillaliz getting up early tomorrow to watch the wedding?
And what channel should I watch? I really can't decide. I wish there was a list of who was going to be on each network. I think Anderson Cooper will be on CNN (i like him). I know Barbara Walters will be one of the people on ABC. I'm wondering if Joan Rivers will be on E! If she will be on E! then I will watch that.
That is assuming I wake up. I'm not really an early morning person. And I am not going to set my alarm. I will record it in case i oversleep. But if I do wake up then I will watch.
-
Maybe I'll just flick to all the different channels to see who doesn't make me crazy.
-

Oddly enough, he's never asked for a puppet. Photos of Richard Harrison, perhaps, or that Egyptian taxi driver, but no puppets, and no beaver!

I have to find the TV Guide channel for Kathy Griffin's take.

I'm trying to figure out if this Royal Wedding Souvenir could end up being a collectible? Or just a piece of junk? ;)
Will (??) & Kate (http://www.guandongenterprisesltd.com/)
That is pretty funny, Jose.

No way am I waking up early. I set a couple of different channels to watch & will skim through them to bits, such as the wedding, here and there. I have CNN set and something else in HD.

I will not be watching Griffin.

bk - As for "God of Carnage" - It was alluded to by another DR earlier, but...
Do you know anything about the play? Well, at least about something very specific that happens in the play?
I was wondering the same thing.

I don't understand the "debris" comment.
Ashton also rearranges the score and invented that showcase role of the jester in Acts Two and Three for one of the loves of his life, Alexander Grant The Royal Ballet production from the 1980s is fun with rivals Ashton and Helpman playing the sisters. The old tv broadcast with Margot Fonteyn, which I saw around 1956, like THE SLEEPING BEAUTY from around the same time, is really cut down.
This DVD has no special features, I think. I'll check after Act Three. Opus Arte really does have better packaging, but maybe Kultur doesn't feel Birmingham rates the same luxury as the Royal Ballet!
-
Of course it would have been infinitely better with a beaver puppet.
;D
-
Vibes for Ginny.
-
How can anyone not love a film with a leading lady whose first name is Rainbeaux? That's been as good a reason as any to like "Mandingo."
-
Anybody going to see "Memphis" at the movie theaters this weekend?
-
Nope, no special features on the ballet, and the score has big cuts in Act Three,
-
I think I want to see Water for Elephants. I read the book years ago, so I don't really remember it in detail. That should help me enjoy it
-
I was very pleased to see that my front window was clean even with the late afternoon sun shining through it.
-
It's a post.
-
I've seen a few photos of the (almost) princess. In my opinion, she doesn't look good in hats. They looked so natural on Diana. But not on Kate.
-
But really, does anyone still wear a hat?
-
Wise words from a first grader.
-
I thought so.... she was very composed during the tv interview
-
So, If I really get up at 3:00 or even 4:00 AM to watch the wedding, will anyone else be here?
-
I'm not getting up for that. So I hope I'm not awake then!
-
I think it is on at 1 a.m. here.

Our esteemed BK once complained that "all" internet reviewers used the word "debris" in their critiques of damaged prints, etc. (or perhaps in this case, damaged prince). ;)
I actually got an email from Kultur about my comment about the missing documentary alluded to in my review—there evidently were only a couple of very short bridging moments to help get the broadcast through the intervals and those were never edited properly, so, no, there are no supplements on this release.
-
Well, it's late, I'm not sure if I'll get up...better set the DVR just in case. It's funny, I don't really care about the wedding, but at the same time I want to watch it. Maybe I just want an excuse not to go to the office tomorrow
-
Playbill.com published this lovely photo of my late friend Russell with its obituary today. I'm happy to finally have a photo of him.
-
Not turning on the TV, not even for the wedding. But enjoy it.
-
Night, all.
-
Good Evening!
Dinner at CostCo was followed by a "post-dinner-at-CostCo" nap.
-And that's where I've "been" the past few hours.
-
Of course, now I need to get ready to go to bed for real this time. ::)
-
Did I read correctly that the bridesmaids range in age from 3 to 8? That's asking for trouble.
-
As for the Royal Wedding.
I'm not interested.
*It was encouraging to read that NBC's Brian Williams flew back from England in order to cover the tornado damage here in the US.
-
French toast , yum . ;D
-
Beautiful necklace, ;).
-
No royal wedding for me, sleep time only. 8)
-
Post food naps, always.
That's what happened last night, feed me and I go to sleep.
This relationship has moved into the very comfortable stage. Maybe too too soon.
:)
-
Need music, I think, Red Martini.
Night all. Vibes for Friday.
Hugs and kisses. I'm in love.
Hugs and kisses. :-*
-
It makes me happy to see that you are in love, Sam. :)
-
Still drowsy - which is a good thing since I should get a few hours of sleep since I have to be up in a few hours...
So...
Goodnight.
-
Back from God Of Carnage, about which more later.
