Woke up with severe indigestion. No doubt due to last night's four pints of beer followed by a heavy meal. Not good because I'm now about to set out for a reunion lunchtime drink and meal.

Good morning, all! I slept well, although there were many bizarre dreams, the last involving a party in Albany which I attended with brother Randy and goddaughter Charlotte, a deadline to get back to NYC which we missed, a planned trip to the beach, and a book order for Charlotte.

Today, i've got another trip to Toyland to use the scanner. Tomorrow is the Big Summit Meeting with the Institute before Toyland is leveled; I have no idea if anything will remain standing, including myself, and since our interrogrator is staying over, I have no idea if on Friday vans are showing up to move things out of the office or what will occur. I have an appointment for my yearly physical so I can't be there until 1 pm or so. I'm half expecting to show up and find an empty space.

Beyond that, I've got few plans for today. If I get to and from Toyland early enough, I can get to the NYPL Theatre Collection by noon and maybe accomplish some work on EILEEN. I also need to call Joshie and ascertain that my order of paper got to him for the DEAREST ENEMY orchestra parts. There's still no word on the office situation and that has me concerned.

BK, tell Vinny hello for me!

DR VIXMOM - the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream indicates you are very pleased with your life now and although you are nostalgic for the people and places of the past, you would not want to return there.  The dog painlessly biting your hand to the wrist says that you are unsure about proceeding with a project or activity and that you may change your mind about how you accomplish something that needs to be done.

I received a kind of funny set of Reader's Digest albums yesterday in the mail which I am having fun listening to.  Lots of outre arrangements by the likes of Billy May, Hank Levine and even Patrick Williams.  Guess everyone needed an easy buck.  :)

And to answer your question from yesterday, DR Jane, Katie and Brian have two cats, Princess and Scooter, plus a dog name of Piper. Scooter is anti-social, but Princess (who insists she is fluffy, not fat) is very loving and calm. She really is a sweetheart.

Anyway, the kids will likely be renting, if they have to move, so they are wanting to find homes for both, just in case. If I didn't already have a cat I would take Princess.

Really, I don't want anymore pets.  I will be looking into volunteering with the cats at the shelter.  I'll ask to see them when I drop off the tons of stuff tomorrow.

And I really did look to adopt before we got Sherlock.

WEIRD!

I was very upset. But I didn't really find it that surprising. It really could have been any of them.

All 4 semi-finalists were very competent. And the judges votes were pretty similar (highest got 59/60 lowest got 56/60).  I would have thought that Derek would have gotten a lot of votes (a lot more than the girl Peeta who has just started on the show). So i was hopeful.  I wonder if Katherine will get most of Maria's votes.

I read today that CBS is moving THE MENTALIST to Sunday nights. Normally I wouldn't really care. But I know CBS has a lot of delays on Sundays due to football. I really think that they need to do something about that. Get rid of one show that night or not have 60 Minutes when there is football.

Interesting to have TAR, The Good Wife and then the Mentalist. Good line-up. Although i hate when they change the days shows are on.

Is the score by Andrew Lloyd Webber...or am I thinking of a different movie?

I found it...ALW did write the score to this movie.

Priscilla - the show that most people said would be the biggest thing to hit Broadway since sliced bread - closing at a substantial loss.  Newsies - call my cynical but it was always going to be an open-ended run - although why they now have to use that tired cliche as if it meant something.  They did what they did to get noticed and get nominations - they got noticed, they got nominations, and now it's just business as usual.  And we'll see how and if it will work.

Melody and mom came by and got her stuff.  She is starting to really like the idea of doing Political Science and the thought of it still tickles me - but she'll learn two songs for that slot (the other is That'll Do, from Babe: Pig in the City) and one of our other gals will also learn both, then I'll decide at our first rehearsal.  But I think Melody is beginning to see the wicked humor in the song, and that we could have fun doing stuff with it.

Speaking of The Mentalist, I am looking forward to it tonight. Love Patrick Jane.

Last week's episode is the last one of this series I ever hope to see.  It annoyed me so much that I developed hatred for the Patrick Jane character.



I agree he was very annoying as he can be at times, but then I felt he was having a bit of a meltdown.

Woke up with severe indigestion. No doubt due to last night's four pints of beer followed by a heavy meal. Not good because I'm now about to set out for a reunion lunchtime drink and meal.

Doug, hope your reunion lunchtime drink and meal were without incident. ::)

;)

Thank you George. A few more drinks and another meal made me feel better!

Well, I'm off to rehearsal.  Last night, the sound designer called my cues and tonight, the stage manager will be calling the cues.  It'll definitely be an experience.  The actors are all pretty solid on their parts, so that's good. :)

re: DANCING WITH THE STARS

WEIRD?

I'll tell you what's "weird".

The results of last night's "Dancing With the Stars", that's what.

WEIRD!

I was very upset. But I didn't really find it that surprising. It really could have been any of them.

All 4 semi-finalists were very competent. And the judges votes were pretty similar (highest got 59/60 lowest got 56/60).  I would have thought that Derek would have gotten a lot of votes (a lot more than the girl Peeta who has just started on the show). So i was hopeful.  I wonder if Katherine will get most of Maria's votes.



Funny, I wasn't surprised.  We know where the football votes are going.  We know where the novella votes are going.  I think Katherine is incredible and she hurt herself so I'm not surprised she got a lot of votes, that leaves Maria.   She was hot and cold this season.  I thought she was better than the football player, but he's got numbers.    I don't think that many people vote for the pro, I think they vote for the star

I think Maria improved so much the past few weeks. And to me Derek is the best choreographer.

I totally disagree. I think the more popular pros have a lot of fans (Maks, Derek...). I love Derek and find myself very often cheering for his celeb.

And i loved his sister and almost always cheered for/voted for her.

I wonder who will come back for All Stars in the Fall. It's sort of a bummer that it can only be one celeb per pro. That will leave out a lot of good celebs.

My poor helper - we had a time-sensitive package to get out and I gave her the sheet music and the address and already had it in a priority envelope.  It was going to Hollywood, Florida.  She typed in the address and just on auto pilot apparently typed in Hollywood CA instead of FL - and the postage program just put int the correct zip code for CA.  Well, it's floating around somewhere in the ether and I'm sure will get back to us at some point, but she has to come over now, go to a twenty-four hour Kinko's, get the whole thing Xeroxed again and then overnight it first thing in the morning.

We didn't know about it when we made our original plans and then when sherlock got sick we didn't know if we could even go.  Thinking we couldn't bryan didn't check with us before the deadline to accept and declined as kate could not miss class.  She will be at the graduation.  It would have been nice if the awards were given out at the graduation.

Well, our food and wine festival started this evening with Sip, Savor and Shop, a kind of shop and drink until you drop, because there are only snacks to eat, so that won't keep you sober. We had about 1,400 people show up, which is just astonishing to me. The first year, I think we had about 300.

Anyway, its the first of a few late nights ahead for me.
