Good morning, all! I slept poorly, mostly dreams abut casting DEAREST ENEMY and my frustrations with my Dublin buddies on confirming people's availability.

BK, I am so happy you had a wonderful day! I was all set to attend until the fire completely rattled me. My biggest gear was that I hadn't got to everything, somrhing was smoldering somewhere, and I would come home to a burnt out building. I know it's neurotic, but I am. This morning, while the coffee was perking, I kept thinking, do I smell a fire?

I'm still on the grisliest task: the recording booklet:  I found a wrong "Heart Of Mine" for what should be "Heart O' Mine," and several English lyrcis laid out incorrectly next to the German ones, all of which I need to lay out today and send as a word dcument.

All that and whatever fresh hell arrives  today.

More coffee!

He got the Evil Eye twice.....once while sitting in his van STILL on the phone....and again when he got out and looked at me to see if I was looking at him.....yes....he got the Evil Eye.

RE: last night's THE AMAZING RACE

I personally devolved into helpless giggles last night during TAR's crying jags.  Having never watched Big Brother, I'm "new" to this couple.  Were they like this on that show?  How could a doctoral candidate be paired with such a whining loser?

The interesting thing is on her first time on Big Brother Rachel was not that well liked (by viewers). But last time (she actually won the show) she was actually much more well liked. It was very interesting.

I actually like her a lot. She is a really fierce competitor and very athletic. You'll notice that when she is doing well at things she does much better than when things go wrong (as you can see by last night's show).

This past season of Big Brother (also Brendan's 2nd time on the show) people/viewers were actually really hating on Brendan (who i like much less than Rachel).

I think the show (TAR) is definitely going to focus on anytime Rachel gets upset. They think it makes good tv.  I actually also like the other Rachel team on TAR (who were also fighting). Mostly because i prefer super competitive teams.

Is Brendon a doctoral candidate?  On his two Big Brother appearances, he was the dumbest cluck in the house...each time.  How he and Rachel matched up is beyond me.  She's beyond screechy, needy, whiny and "entitled."

Brendon may be a different person on TV and with Rachel.  Do you know what he's studying?

As for Rachel, I do not believe she was more "well liked" by the public.  When it came to the final voting by the ousted competitors, Rachel was the lesser of two evils.   BB has been resolved that way a number of times...very unpopular competitors winning it all.  The worst of all time was Maggie during Season 6.   The final choice was her or Yvette and they were both allies.   Yvette's girlfriend and parents liked "the other side", not Yvette's side.  Maggie's friends were mostly silent. It was BB's worst moment, IMO.

Brendon of Brendon and Rachel from TAR and BB?

Brendon who, during the last BB, was often chastised by Rachel for what he did with his cell phone before BB started.    I'm thinking "all book sense and no common sense".

...nice little breaks are necessary...

When we find ourselves frantically patching holes in the dikes surrounding our professiona/personal lives, we often view the luxury of  "a nice little break" as an invitation to an unwelcome flood. You are most fortunate that you can keep all your juggling balls safely aloft while you take an hour out for dinner.

I should have taken some Tylenol at 1:00am instead of 3:00am.  Again I should have taken more at 7:00 instead of waiting until 9:00.  I might have prevented my headache from turning into a mild migraine.  Fortunately walking Sherlock got rid of it & I felt good by the time we went to the gym.

Since Sherlock still has a sock over his foot to protect the scraped pad we just walked on the walking path, nice & easy for me head.  For the first time we passed the memorial where the young man was murdered.  It was very sad.

I'm home from the city that never sleeps.  

I enjoyed our get-together yesterday.  It was nice seeing FJL and Jose and meeting Skip.  And as BK mentioned, later Todd Ellison and his partner and their baby came along.  I have a couple of pictures of BK with the baby.  He's adorable--and the baby's cute too.  

Last night I went to see Newsical, the Musical, against the advice of a couple of people.  I enjoyed it--Christine Pedi was hilarious as Joan Rivers, Suze Orman and Liza.  There was a fun section on the Republican candidates.

Thanks again, BK!  I had a great time!

Glad to hear that everyone had a good time in the New City of York.  I also wish I could have been there.

I dislike both of the Rachels on THE AMAZING RACE. However, I do like Ralph...and I hope he and (the non-Big Brother) Rachel last long enough for there to be a shirtless competition of some sort.  ;)



DR JMK, believe it or don't, but Brendon and Rachel did not know each other prior to being contestants on BIG BROTHER....they met on the show and fell in love. What Brendon sees in her, I do not know.

My favorite team on Amazing Race is the two Alabama guys.

Speaking of...I finished the DVD of Danise's guest appearanace on ANDERSON (http://www.andersoncooper.com/episodes/life-shattering-scams-could-it-happen-to-you/).  If anyone else wants a copy, send me a message (e-mail, PM, etc.).  I'll compile a list. :D

I am still catching up with Oscar noms and finally got to see A SEPARATION, which won best foriegn film....man, was it good!

Interesting thing is that, although it was an Iranian film, the storyline could have been from any country as it could apply to just about any middle-class family, anywhere.

I am ever so eager to get started on Season Two of THE WALKING DEAD (on AMC)...however, by the time I caught up with season one, the first few episodes of season 2 were no longer available on ON DEMAND...I didn't want to start season 2 without seeing the first couple of episodes.

Now, the ON DEMAND episodes for season two start at episode 12 or something like that.

And season 2 isn't releasing on DVD until the fall!!! I can't wait that long to see it...guess I will have to watch the first several episodes on youtube.

I personally devolved into helpless giggles last night during TAR's crying jags.  Having never watched Big Brother, I'm "new" to this couple.  Were they like this on that show?  How could a doctoral candidate be paired with such a whining loser?


Is Brendon a doctoral candidate?  On his two Big Brother appearances, he was the dumbest cluck in the house...each time.  How he and Rachel matched up is beyond me.  She's beyond screechy, needy, whiny and "entitled."

Brendon may be a different person on TV and with Rachel.  Do you know what he's studying?

As for Rachel, I do not believe she was more "well liked" by the public.  When it came to the final voting by the ousted competitors, Rachel was the lesser of two evils.   BB has been resolved that way a number of times...very unpopular competitors winning it all.  The worst of all time was Maggie during Season 6.   The final choice was her or Yvette and they were both allies.   Yvette's girlfriend and parents liked "the other side", not Yvette's side.  Maggie's friends were mostly silent. It was BB's worst moment, IMO.



Maybe Rachel was not that well liked the 2nd time by the casual viewer (not sure). But every time BB is on i always read a lot of the daily happenings.  And Rachel was definitely much more well liked by the hard core BB watcher IMO.

RE: TAR

I dislike both of the Rachels on THE AMAZING RACE. However, I do like Ralph...and I hope he and (the non-Big Brother) Rachel last long enough for there to be a shirtless competition of some sort.  ;)



DR JMK, believe it or don't, but Brendon and Rachel did not know each other prior to being contestants on BIG BROTHER....they met on the show and fell in love. What Brendon sees in her, I do not know.

My favorite team on Amazing Race is the two Alabama guys.

Oh DR MBarnum you always make me smile with your TAR picks. How did i know that you would like the Alabama guys?  Of course they are my least favorite. :)

They do seem sweet. And fairly physically capable. But they are not going to do well in foreign countries! I felt bad that they got the later plane which basically sealed their fate.

Thanks.  He also has a yeast infection in his ear we discovered when he yelped this morning while scratching it.  Tomorrow morning he has to have a crown put on his tooth.  Six months ago we barely avoided root canal & thought we had avoided the crown.  Hopefully everything else is fine & he won't need root canal.

Cute pictures. The ones of BK and the baby are cracking me up!

It reminds me of this baby i like at my niece's daycare. The baby room is where you take off your boots. and i would always see this baby sticking her head in a bucket. She was so round and cute. So i mentioned it to my niece who is 2. Now every time i go to pick up my niece she pokes her head in the baby room as we are leaving. And if the baby is there she screams out, "look auntie it's your favorite baby!"

It's pretty funny. I'm glad they other babies don't understand. I wouldn't want them to feel bad!

...nice little breaks are necessary...

When we find ourselves frantically patching holes in the dikes surrounding our professiona/personal lives, we often view the luxury of  "a nice little break" as an invitation to an unwelcome flood. You are most fortunate that you can keep all your juggling balls safely aloft while you take an hour out for dinner.

Well said der B.  When I am stressed and busy, the only thing i want is to be alone to either relax or get things done.  I have turned down invitations many times when I was stressed and busy and more than glad I did just that.  It didn't mean I cared any less for my friends, just that I needed to unwind or work

He almost did but the tooth didn't break as far down as we thought it had.  We had to move his 6 month check-up forward a couple of weeks as the bonding broke.  We weighed the pros & cons of doing a crown and/or root canal & because it is an important molar, which is more prone to infections when pulled, we have opted to crown it.

It has been confirmed that Bryan was matched to a residency program.  Friday he will find out where.  They let everyone know ahead of time if they have a match.  If they don't, there is no need to go to school on Friday and they can begin hustling to find a match on their own.  I feel very bad for any students that don't get matched.  It must be a horrible feeling.  This class had to deal with a record number of applicants for medical school & now a record number of applicants for residencies.

The track list for "Dee Does Broadway" follows:

"Cabaret"
"The Ballad Of Sweeney Todd"
"Big Spender" (with Cyndi Lauper)
"Mack the Knife"
"Whatever Lola Wants" (with Bebe Neuwirth)
"Music Of The Night" (with guest violinist Mark Wood)
"The Joint Is Jumpin'" (with Jesse Blaze Snider)

"I Get A Kick Out Of You"
"There Is Nothin' Like A Dame" (with Priscilla cast members Will Swenson, Tony Sheldon and Nick Adams)
"Razzle Dazzle"
"Tonight"/"Somewhere" (with Patti LuPone)

Bob Kulick and Brett Chassen produce the album that also features orchestrations by Doug Katsaros and Rudy Sarzo on bass guitar.

Snider's autobiography "Shut Up and Give Me The Mic" will also be released May 8 by Gallery Books.

Happy to find that Jose and some friends will be coming tonight.  Continually baffled by the absence of elmore, but that's just me.  I think everyone here knows how busy I get, but you know what - despite having written a 530 page manuscript in three weeks while also issuing two CDs, writing their liner notes, and doing a Kritzerland show, if I needed to have a meal with a friend I always found the hour to do so.   I'd think an hour off to dine or see a singer would be a nice little break, because nice little breaks are necessary.  Surprised Ben hasn't even responded to the invite for tonight.  It's an early show (7) it's free, and it's fun.  Well, at least we'll have Jose and company and dear reader Iris.  I miss everyone else but apparently they don't miss me - and now, I shall go eat some worms.

Elmore is way too busy and stressed!

It would help a lot more if I got a "see you next visit and good luck" instad of this. BK.



Well, one could conversely say that since I'm here so very infrequently and since I've known you for almost twenty years, that you might have picked up the phone to say at least a hello.  Listen, we all do things differently - I, for example, would make the time, take the hour.  You are too stressed to do so.  I suppose that no matter how crazed and stressed I get (and again, I think you know from reading the notes here, just HOW busy my days and weeks and months are), I will always make the time if someone is visiting.  I didn't really have time to go have lunch with Jrand's friend but I did.  But you know all this.  I just like you and others and the fact that I rarely see you on these trips just gets to me after a while.  I shouldn't worry about it.

The show went as well as it could go.  We have lots of performance work to do, but the structure and song selection are fine.  When she has the patter down to what she's supposed to actually say and when she's more comfy with the overall show, she'll be able to start being herself more - right now, there's too much "acting" and hammering the songs home - we just need to adjust to the space.  But some stuff worked really well, and a few of the little bits we added are really cute.  Nice to see Jose again and his friend Brandon.  More in the notes.
