Well, you've read the notes, the notes were sleepy and Jewish, and now it is time for you to post until the Jewish cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: MIGNON!
-
And here is our new release - it will be live at six in the morning - for those who can't wait, you know what to do:
Kritzerland is pleased to present a new world premiere limited edition soundtrack CD:
ALL IN A NIGHT’S WORK
Music Composed and Conducted by Andre Previn
Once upon a time in a land called Hollywood, major studios churned out wonderful, frothy, fizzy romantic comedies, one after another. In 1961, Shirley MacLaine was riding high on the success of The Apartment and Dean Martin had become a real leading man after the team of Martin and Lewis had broken up. They’d already appeared together in Vincente Minnelli’s Some Came Running and Paramount’s production of Career, and because both were terrific comic actors, it was a natural to pair them up in Paramount’s All in a Night’s Work.
All in a Night’s Work was given the lavish, glossy Paramount treatment – everything was top-of-the line – the director was Joseph Anthony (The Rainmaker, The Matchmaker, Career), and the bubbly screenplay was by Edmund Beloin (Visit to a Small Planet, The Sad Sack, Don’t Give Up the Ship), Maurice Richlin (Pillow Talk, Operation Petticoat, Soldier in the Rain, and the classic The Pink Panther), and Sidney Sheldon (Billy Rose’s Jumbo, Pardners). And, in addition to the two leads, a stellar supporting cast – Cliff Robertson, Jack Weston, Charlie Ruggles, Norma Crane, Jerome Cowan, and Gale Gordon.
The plot kicks off in high style when a mysterious woman is seen running from a ritzy Palm Beach hotel room, wearing only a bath towel and not a very large one at that. Since the hotel room’s guest, a New York publishing baron, is found dead in bed, the question is who was that lady and was that lady his mistress? Complications, misunderstandings, mink coats, fancy nightclubs, and, of course, love and a happy ending, and all in glorious Technicolor, set to the romantic, propulsive, and phenomenal music of André Previn.
The main title sets the tone – an upbeat, dynamic, and colorful showpiece for orchestra. That theme recurs again, but it’s the delicious and beautiful love theme that gets most of the attention, in a large number of guises – it’s instantly memorable and works wonderfully throughout the film – as underscore for romance, shopping, cocktails, dinner and dancing, and yes, more romancing, the kind of romance that only happens in the movies with beautiful music underscoring everything. There are other equally excellent themes, and the score is just a constant delight of melody and inspiration.
All in a Night’s Work was transferred from the original session masters housed in the Paramount vaults. The tapes were in excellent condition and in stereo save for two cues that only existed in mono. The first of those is presented in sequence (track two), and the last, the complete finale, is presented in the bonus tracks section, since we had a shorter version of the finale in stereo.
All in a Night’s Work is limited to 1000 copies only. The price is $19.98, plus shipping.
CD will ship the last week of July – however, never fear, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early). To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

CD has been ordered! I don't want to have to get up early...I never want to have to get up early, if I can ever avoid it.
;)
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Back to the work week.
-
Oatmeal, raisins, cinnamon and a banana with coffee.
-
I'm very glad Once and Peter and the Starcatcher won awards. I wish P & the S would have won more, including Best Score (even though it's not a musical). I am also very, very glad that Traci Bennett did NOT win for End of the Rainbow. It was 2 hours of my life that I'll never get back. She was spoken of with a very good chance to win. Thankfully, they were wrong. They were wrong about a lot of things. Talk was Follies had it sewn up for Best Revival of a Musical as well.
Oh, Well.
-
And now, off to the office (after my morning ablutions).
-
Still pouring with rain :(
-
The fridge/freezer repair men came. They took one look at it and said it was past repair (so why did the previous repair man say it could be repaired?) My service contract provides for a new replacement if it can't be repaired but they said the phone line to head office was busy so they couldn't make arrangements for a replacement at the present time. They left saying they would phone to say what arrangements will be made. Grrr! Not happy! >:(
-
Good morning, all. Back home and with a few hours' sleep under my belt. Hope I can stay awake through the day.
-
Not good news on the fridge, Doug R.
-
TOD: I'll have to start searching out the YouTube clips from last night's show.
-
Morning all. It's Monday. Let the stress begin.
Hope you all enjoyed the Tony's--you know how I feel about "award" shows.
I found two side tables on sale at Walmart that fit my living room much better than the ones I had. The old ones were way to big but I got them for free so I wasn't complaining. The new ones are much smaller but have both a bottom shelf and a drawer.
I hate to get rid of the old tables because they are real wood. I sat them out by the curb and doubt they will be there by the time I get home tonight. Toby will miss the one that was by the window because he used to sit on it and look out. He still has the cube so I didn't take his "tv" away.
I spent most of yesterday afternoon putting the new tables together. Why is it that even if you follow the directions to the letter, you wind up with left over parts? :)
Wishing all well and vibes to all those who need them.
-
Not good news on the fridge, Doug R.
I expect they're punishing me because I made a complaint. I'll probably be waiting several more weeks now.
-
good morning to all.
-
my original plans got changed yesterday and I did something else and totally forgot about the show. Caught the last part of the show, but caught up with the musical # and some of the speeches on you tube.

Thanks, Danise.
I'm in Rome today and too tired now to post any more photos. I leave tomorrow. So, I'll be off for a few days.
I think Rome is wonderful, but it's also too hectic and noisy after a relaxing week away from people. The throngs are just enormous, everywhere you turn. We went to the Trevi Fountain and you had to fight to get near the water. We saw the Spanish steps but didn't go near them for the same reason. There just wasn't enough time to get anywhere near the Coliseum or the Vatican or any place like that. Another trip.
You never try to visit the Vatican during the summer months (including June). It was crowded when I was there in November, but you were still able to breathe and you could actually stand next to some of these people without the fumes killing you..
Did you mean the fumes coming from the people?
-
Good morning, all!I slept fitfully, mostly out of concern for the fact that I was up too late watching the Tonys and knowing I had to be up at 6:30. This morning I head up to the Bronx to work on the final mix of EILEEN with producer Judy Sherman.I suspect we will be adding crowd nises, gun fire. etc., and I hope it all goes smoothly. It's a schlep to Riverdale.
I also need to plan my week. DJ, my Appalachina collaborator, has done what I feared he would do and tried to circumvent several months ago. Now that his schedule's free, he's back into Appalachia but my schedule is getting crazy with a recording to be released and a recording to be made. I wanted to address changes and fixes two months ago, but I got no response to my concerns. So, I've got to juggle that as well as everything else now. And I need to see my barber.
-
Continued refrigerator vibes for DR DOUG R.
-
Juggling vibes for DR ELMORE.
-
Off for Monday banking and shopping.
MAD MEN.....disappointing end to the season.....that I didn't like a lot to begin with.

I had heard really good things about Traci Bennett as Judy Garland. She was horrible. And if she was supposed to be Judy in her final months, she didn't study her much.
-
Good morning to all. And especially to my coffee.

They raved about her in England. Now I am an Anglophile through and through, but they got it wrong on this one. There were times during the show when she was actually good but she was saddled with a script made out of tabloid trash. On top of that between her interpretation and the direction the show veered wildly between jaw dropping badness and moments that I thought were good (most of those moments were provided by Michael Cumpsty).
-
I meant to say something along these lines last night, and MR BK has beat me to it. But here it is anyway:
What a PLEASURE the thank-you and other speeches in this show are, compared to what we must suffer elsewhere. These people know how to comport themselves on a stage, how to face an audience and speak on a stage, how to read if necessary, no one is drugged out, they have a sense of timing, and...and...well, you know.
Has it always been thus on the Tonys? I'd suppose so, to varying degrees, but I was struck by it last night in such a big way. It was as though civilization was on the rise. Or something.
-
RE: The Tonys.
I also really enjoyed some of the speeches. Judy's was great. I also really enjoyed the girl who won for Best Actress in a Play. She seemed shocked. But she was so sweet.
I loved Neil Patrick Harris' closing number. I wish he could have done more numbers. I just enjoy everything he does.
I too was disappointed that we didn't get to see Bernadette Peters on the show (her award). But i did really enjoy Hugh Jackman. He seemed totally shocked that his wife was presenting. Personally when she said she had to go to the bathroom right before his award was coming up ... well that would have been a clue for me. But i enjoyed him a lot.
-
A few likes and dislikes, off the top of my head...
ONCE: I don't know much about it but now I want to see it.
THE BEST MAN: Looks simply delicious. Want!
EVITA: No. DR Jrand and I were saying how that is a favorite number. It was technically good -- and how great not to hear a train wreck in that one tricky section. But there was no Che there, or much of anything else. And no indication at all of how good or bad the Eva is. Terrible choice for the show.
PORGY AND BESS: No. Confirmed everything I've read and heard since day one. I wouldn't be able to sit through this total re-writing of the work.
-
To me when choosing a musical number for tv I would want to:
1. find a number that will best represent the show
2. feature some of the nominated performers
3. give the audience a real idea what the show is about
4. make people want to see the show
I really have no idea how the numbers are chosen because most of the numbers i saw did not do any of the things i listed above.
I love Evita so much. But I wish so much that they could have shown us Eva Peron. That's just one example.
I also found it so odd that for Best Original score we had 2 plays, 1 Wildhorn, and then the winner.
-
Was Michael McGrath's foreshadowing (at the end of his speech) meant to imply that he would soon be doing a HONEYMOONERS - THE MUSICAL?
-
Yes, he will be playing Ralph Kramden in a musical version of The Honeymooners.
-
Monday morning greetings! It's rainy here in SW Ohio today.
-
Oh, it's a Monday morning. Is there a song for that?
-
Yes, he will be playing Ralph Kramden in a musical version of The Honeymooners.
I thought Jim Belushi was tapped for THE HONEYMOONERS. What happened to that? Did someone figure out that Belushi is not an actor?
-
TOD - my favorite moments from the broadcast were Judy Kaye's speech and the number from ONCE, although that selection didn't give Cristin Milioti much to do. She was also slighted by the NY1 interviewer on the red carpet, who concentrated more on Phylicia Rashad's daughter and the other girl in the group. I also liked the fact that Richard and I watched the entire program together, remembering seeing in person many of the people we were seeing on TV last night.
-
I am enjoying a week off from gigging, so will be doing a lot of writing and dealing with little things like, oh, you know, the house sale closing, the kids getting out of school and Zach leaving for China. Oy.
-
We did not watch all of the Tonys. So sue me.
-
Yes, what happened to the IN MEMORIUM segment?
-
Is there a rule that says FOLLIES can never win Best Musical? ;)
-
Yes, what happened to the IN MEMORIUM segment?
It died.
-
Listening to two kind of funny old Glen Campbell albums on one CD this morning. Both of them have "spoken" interludes in various tunes which are hysterical.
-
Yes, what happened to the IN MEMORIUM segment?
They did it off broadcast during a commercial break so just the people in the Beacon Theatre saw it.
They did many things off broadcast. God forbid you should bore people with awards presented to those stupid book writers or choreographers or orchestrators or Actor's Equity getting a special Tony or even Bernadette Peters getting the Isabelle Stevenson Award.

LOL. If you were standing near some of the same the people I was, yes.
-
I didn't see the Tony Awards. I have only seen a few clips on the youtubes. But it seems to me as though the whole show has really improved from when I last saw it years ago. Neil Patrick Harris seems to be a real gem as the host. The new traditional closing number must have everyone scrambling during the show to write lyrics.
-
I just pulled up last night's MAD MEN On Demand, and there's something so hideously wrong with the quality of the broadcast that I shut it off after five minutes. The image is fuzzy, jerky, audio is out of sync...while the "AMC HD" logo blazes brightly in the corner. Gotta wonder what somebody's (Comcast's?) problem is. Maybe this is what you get first thing in the morning?? Can't be. Will try again later.

There is a video on YouTube or somewhere (maybe bluegobo.com) of the Evita cast in London doing "What's New, Buenos Aires" and the choreography is just horrible. Plus Elena Roger, or whatever her name is, is vocally uninspiring. I'm really not looking forward to seeing the new clip.
-
I liked all of the acceptance speeches with the EXCEPTION of all of those involved in P/B who spoke as though they were doing some great inspired work instead of a hack job on a classic.
AND the second man who spoke for CLYBOURNE PARK - pretentious and boring.....both of which I have been called.
-
I liked the FOLLIES number, but then I am a Burstein fan....and I really liked the Two Guv'nors bit....hilarious!
I too would like to see THE BEST MAN.....one of my favorite plays!
-
Wouldn't mind seeing Jim Parsons in HARVEY.....if his Dowd was different than his television character.....what say you DR GINNY?
-
CD ordered!
Don't know this one at all, but I'm looking forward to hearing the Previn.
(Coincidentally, I just saw this morning that DEAD RINGER has been announced -- along with BABY JANE -- for Blu-ray release this fall.)
-

Well, DR JRand, the material makes all the difference. He's much kinder and gentler in HARVEY.
-
TOD:
I agree that the opening number from THE BOOK OF MORMON was fun.
But, I also think that that particular number was deliberately chosen for reasons other than its entertainment value.
The Tony Awards should be about Theatre...not politics.
-
Wouldn't mind seeing Jim Parsons in HARVEY.....if his Dowd was different than his television character.....what say you DR GINNY?
They are doing HARVEY at the ZACH in Austin next season. I just might go see it.
The last time I saw HARVEY on stage was with Joe E. Brown when I was 5-years old.
I remember that I was very disappointed that the rabbit never appeared on stage.
-
DR Druxy, when was your reading in Austin at the Baker St. Pub? And which one of the two will it be at? I might, just might, be able to make it, if i get through the jet lag and the brain fog.
-
Anyone going to kick us over to page three?
-
It's up to me?
-
Okay.
3.
-
Hey, y'all! Sorry to be E&T, but I blah, blah, blah--I don't really have any good excuse...
-

The talk is next Tuesday (19) at 7 pm the S. Lamar location. Hope to see you there.

TOD:
Favorite parts:
Steve Kazee's acceptance speech.
NPH's Spider-Man bit
James Corden's upset win (even though I voted for the other guy...)
Ugly parts:
The pretentious CLYBOURNE PARK acceptance speech
The HAIRSPRAY mess
The Judy Garland drag queen
-

Yes, he will be playing Ralph Kramden in a musical version of The Honeymooners.
That's a relief! Because he was talking about his wife, I thought he meant that it was gonna be "Bang! Zoom! Straight to the moon!" when he got home...
-
I hadn't been eager at all to see ONCE based on listening to the OCR but seeing the "Gold" number last night has perked my interest. Also would like to see PETER AND THE STARCATCHER (though I don't think last night's snippets really showed it off all that well.)

That number of ONCE did not make me want to see the show. That's why i was curious if that was a fair representation of the show.
-
Thanks DR GINNY....glad to hear it.
-
What a boring three hours of tv and not to mention full of drek. I was sorry that my buddy ALW didn't win anything, but both numbers were boring. So much wasted time on shows that either were not nominated or had closed - I don't care what they paid to be on the broadcast. I'm glad Once won for Best Musical. Although it's based on a movie, it was still creative. The Newsies thing just saddens me to no end. It should never even opened on Broadway, but went straight to being able to license the show, like it was suppose to do. Glad Alan Menkin finally won a Tony, though. It should have went to Sister Act last year, though. And really really really could care less about The Book of Mormon, must we always be slapped in the face with a reference??
And I wasn't going to say anything.... oy and vey
-
Hey, y'all! Sorry to be E&T, but I blah, blah, blah--I don't really have any good excuse...
Good to see you, no matter the excuse or lack thereof.

Good to see DR DtM!!

I received two fine CD's from Kritzerland today. I shall look forward to listening to them when I return home from rehearsal.

Interest in the Tony Awards telecast was even lower than usual this year, as CBS drew just 6 million viewers for Sunday's three-hour special , likely the smallest audience on record for the event.
Despite facing lackluster competition on the broadcast networks and no big sports draws on cable, the Tony Awards averaged a 1.0 rating/3 share in adults 18-49 and a little over 6 million viewers for its 8-11 p.m. window , down from last year's show, which did a 1.2/4 in the demo while drawing nearly 1 million more viewers overall. The previous low-water mark in the demo was a 1.1 rating in both 2008 and 2010, and the smallest overall audience prior to last night was 6.3 million in 2008.
Viewership drifted downward throughout the telecast too, starting with about 7 million in the 8 o'clock half-hour before closing to about 5.4 million when ''Once'' was awarded the prize for best musical.
-
I just had a GREAT trip to the mailbox.
A day with packages from both KRITZERLAND and TWILIGHT TIME is a fine day indeed.
-
It is a day to be envied by other days.
-
I was up at four-thirty for some unknown reason, then announced at six and was back in bed and asleep by six-thirty. The phone rang at 9:45, 10:15, 10:30 and 11:00. Answered the eleven and am now up.

My car battery is dead.

I'm waiting for AAA.

OK, so here's a ridiculous story about a cop dying while having three-way sex and his wife wins a settlement over his death:

I'm very glad Once and Peter and the Starcatcher won awards. I wish P & the S would have won more, including Best Score (even though it's not a musical). I am also very, very glad that Traci Bennett did NOT win for End of the Rainbow. It was 2 hours of my life that I'll never get back. She was spoken of with a very good chance to win. Thankfully, they were wrong. They were wrong about a lot of things. Talk was Follies had it sewn up for Best Revival of a Musical as well.
Oh, Well.
I had heard really good things about Traci Bennett as Judy Garland. She was horrible. And if she was supposed to be Judy in her final months, she didn't study her much.
I didn't like Tracie Bennett's performance last night, at all. :P

Or the HAIRSPRAY number...there was absolutely no point for that. Not that it was bad, but just completely unneccessary.

Mine arrived today, too! I'll be listening to both of them today. :D

Totally agree with all of these. I also loved Judy's speech.

Glad to see that DR Dan (the Man) has returned!
-
I totally forgot to watch The Tony Awards last night. Instead I was viewing and old Bollywood movie called DULARI, which I didn't finish due to getting sleepy.
-
DR JRand61, you review of LURE OF THE SWAMP made me laugh!
Sometimes the poster really is better than the movie...but really, it is kind of difficult not to want to see a movie called LURE OF THE SWAMP.
Oh, and the 'annoying' girlfriend of Marshall Thompson's was played by Joan Lora, who was one of the teens, along with June Kenney, Robert Reed, and Gene Persson hunted down by a killer on that island in BLOODLUST (1961).
-
Which makes me think, how could you not want to see BLOODLUST, after viewing this trailer!
I bet you never saw the Brady Bunch dad in anything like this before!

GREAT screams at the end of that trailer.

I thought that number was fantastic!
-
I gotta tell you.
-
I am enjoying the liner notes from both new KRITZERLAND cd's.

I was surprised after all of the positive things I had heard, that Tracie Bennett seemed so off the mark.....
She seemed more locked into Judy from the late 50s, rather than Judy in 1969 and near death.
-

I have never perfromed in drag, but I could have done a better Judy Garland.
-

I think it's pretty cool that cruise ships are doing Broadway musicals. I think it would have been fine for them to mention the fact that Hairspray was currently on a ship. Or even to just quickly talk to the cast members. But to do the whole number ... and then leave out Bernadette Peters accepting her award or the In Memorium section. That makes no sense.
-
I would rather have seen anything instead of Ms Peters.....but I did miss the In Memoriam.

She seemed more locked into Judy from the late 50s, rather than Judy in 1969 and near death.
I have never perfromed in drag, but I could have done a better Judy Garland.
I was thinking the same thing....although about myself DR TCB....but I will defer to you.
Ah, Jack, you made me love you.

Which makes me think, how could you not want to see BLOODLUST, after viewing this trailer!
I bet you never saw the Brady Bunch dad in anything like this before!

I saw the Brady Bunch dad in a pink and orange jump suit doing the Hustle on the Brady Brunch variety show. That is more than enough.
-
Or the HAIRSPRAY number...there was absolutely no point for that. Not that it was bad, but just completely unneccessary.
I think it's pretty cool that cruise ships are doing Broadway musicals. I think it would have been fine for them to mention the fact that Hairspray was currently on a ship. Or even to just quickly talk to the cast members. But to do the whole number ... and then leave out Bernadette Peters accepting her award or the In Memorium section. That makes no sense.
It was done to put her on par with Elaine Stritch, back when she had her acceptance speech cut off.
-
I started watching the Tony show at 8 p.m. (tape-delayed, of course). Loved the opening number. And then there was the number from "Newsies" and I was nearly apoplectic before it (mercifully)(finally) ended. What a lengthy, tedious and boring number. And it won the Tony for choreography? Oh my freaking goodness!
I was a bit put out that Mr. Tiffany's acceptance speech went on and on and on and on and on and on..I mean, I switched channels and surfed a bit hoping it would be over before I got back...and it wasn't over. He seemed to talk for several minutes. And then poor Mike Nichols got about 95 seconds before the orchestra began playing him off.
Happily, "True Blood's" fifth season started at 9 a.m. and I was able to spend the rest of my evening angst-free. Still, I did record the show and will fast-forward to places you guys have said good things about (and a few bad things about, too).

Reed is so much taller than the rest of the cast they should have named it "Stranger on Midget Island".

Tonight I will be blocking the action sequence in THE CURIOUS SAVAGE....which some people do not realize is written into the script.
-
Off to rehearsal....I shall be back later.
-
GREAT screams at the end of that trailer.
Yes, amazing they were able to include actual audience reaction to the film that way.
-
Are we sure the person that does the Judy Garland tribute is a guy? I thought (seriously) that it was a woman.

It was a woman. I was just saying that I have seen drag queens do a better Judy Garland than that woman did last night.

The fridge/freezer repair men came. They took one look at it and said it was past repair (so why did the previous repair man say it could be repaired?) My service contract provides for a new replacement if it can't be repaired but they said the phone line to head office was busy so they couldn't make arrangements for a replacement at the present time. They left saying they would phone to say what arrangements will be made. Grrr! Not happy! >:(
How frustrating for you!!! Vibes you will be very happy with your new frig!!

This morning I had errands to do before my audiology appointment. Now I have to get used to the changes. Until I get used to them I don't know if this is an improvement or not. I think it is.

Have to do a phone interview in an hour. Picked up a new supply of the new book, plus a couple of other small packages.

Did anyone who watched the Tonys last night, notice in one of the audience shots stage left with NPH; there was a man sitting there dressed in a South Sea native (?) outfit, with this big head behind him?
No I have not taken any drugs today!

Speaking of wildlife........
While driving home up our dirt road today I suddenly slammed on my brakes and stopped. On the edge of the road was a rather small fawn. I left my car parked on the road & walked up to our house. Keith had heard me and was walking down our driveway to see if there was a problem. I asked him to get the orange cones we have to put around the fawn so cars wouldn't run over it.
I put one cone down & when he walked up to do the second one the fawn got up and wobbled (as young ones do) over towards me. Finally he went to off into the brush so we left.
Years ago Echo found a fawn & I read that mother deer do leave their fawns for lengthy periods. They blend into the brush so well they are usually safe. I hope this one is.

I feel very pleased right now. This morning a facebook friend complained about his poison ivy. I told him to go get Zanfel right away. He just thanked me, said it was the best $40 he has spent in a long time. :)

That was a joke, Tom. It was a guy dressed in LION KING attire, and the guy in back of him was fidgeting, trying to see over the headdress.
-
The best part of the gag was it wasn't overplayed--it was just happening in the background while NPH got the show into commercial.
-
There were two or three other similar "bits" throughout the show.
-
Finished the Beck movie and watched the finale of Mad Men - which was merely okay and not much of a finale. Do we now wait another two years for a new episode?
-
I liked all of the acceptance speeches with the EXCEPTION of all of those involved in P/B who spoke as though they were doing some great inspired work instead of a hack job on a classic.
AND the second man who spoke for CLYBOURNE PARK - pretentious and boring.....both of which I have been called.
I agree! Completely!
I am home. Seven hours of mixing and more tomorrow, My brain is fried, but it's sounding really good!

Just watched the "Hairspray" number on YouTube. Yikes, some of the chorus dancers on the Corny Collins Show are larger than the Tracy. And blah.

DR Jennifer, how did you miss the point of that atrocity" Royal Caribbean WAS ONE OF THE DAMNED SPONSORS of the Tony Awards! If they'd wanted to have an underwater ballet, CBS might have allowed it. Someone at Royal Caribbean said, hey! we do shows on our boats. We can sponsor this and let the Tony watchers know they can go on one of our cruises and see a mediocre show as well as get mugged and rhrown overboard.
-
What was that about mugged and thrown overboard?
-
So, I gather there's been some flack about the Great Audra's comments on getting raped every night.

Well, the phone interview didn't happen - I suppose it will be rescheduled and hopefully before I'm on my way to NY. I suppose I'll get ready for the Jason and Faith show.
-
I watched the Tony Awards this morning. I enjoyed it for the most part. Matthew Broderick looked like he didn't want to be there. I enjoyed the number from Once, but I don't think it necessarily showed how good the show is --I really liked it and might see it again when my friend comes from California in October. I agree that Danny Burstein's number was better in person for some reason.
-
I went to see Kristin Chenoweth last night --that's why I wasn't here for the Tony bash. I know she's not the favorite of everyone here, but I really enjoyed her show. She chose someone from the audience (actually she said that the young woman had been at her Philadelphia show and she almost picked her but didn't, so she was choosing her since she happened to be here ) to sing a duet of "For Good" (from Wicked) with her. The singer's name was Lindsay --she was really great and got a standing ovation. After she left the stage Kristin said "Note to self. Don't have anyone on the stage who's better than you."

Oh, I didn't see this. I guess the phone didn't get the job after all. :(

I went out with Craig to the lake for a nice walk. We didn't see the fawn on the road which I hope is a good thing.

I have to say that I believe that the hypnotherapy is working. I feel better inside and don't feel like I'm on the edge of losing it like I did.
I had my performance eval today (that one that was due back in December). I didn't expect it to be good and it wasn't but I didn't lose my temper. I listened to 2 of the sessions at lunch and they kept me calm.
The thing I like about Joseph is how he keeps posting new free coaching and hypnotherapy sessions yet doesn't charge for them. He just wants to help. I've been "talking" to him via Twitter/email/his board and he seems a really nice young man with a good and caring heart.
I had a surprise today when someone mentioned that I seem to have changed since I came back--for the better. I blame Joseph Clough. :) I'm so glad I found that free app in the Android Store. It's also for the iPhone in case anyone wants to give it a try.

I was amazed at how many deer there were in Pittsburgh the last couple of times I went there. We came around a bend and there was a huge buck in someones yard! I thought it was fake until I saw it move.

DR Danise Ashland has a big deer problem. Outside the town we don't except that we have to be careful not to hit one when driving the main road back to our house at night.
