Done, Mr. Matthei!
DR Ginny, hope you enjoy the banter!!! :)
I feel it is my duty to report that I have nothing to report. Except good coleslaw with lunch.
I have a question for Ask BK Day:
As I read about them, I've been pleased to find I already have some things from your Varese days in my collection. In finishing "Album Produced by...", I know there are certain other titles I'll absolutely want to have, so the question is:
How should one acquire pre-Kritzerland items in a way that properly benefits you?
JohnG, we would have sold out last Friday, but a dealer who had a significant number of CDs being held never communicated with me, so I put those back in stock. When it does sell out, which will be soon, you can bet that I will instantly be inundated with e-mails saying, "I JUST hear about!"
wow, great review for The Nutty Professor, wish I could have been there last Saturday, but glad I stayed home, I'm feeling SO much better

Feel better vibes to DR Ben!
It's a quiet day so I trimmed the front hedges and cleaned out the inside of the motor car. Then back to watching the Olympics.At least you didn't get stuck on a zip line like the London mayor. That footage was a hoot. It was also what I was scared most of when I did a zip line. That and going too fast when approaching the landing stage.
Yes DR BEN....feel better.Yes, indeed.

Did I ever post the special lyric "Tracie Bennett" had for Judy Garland's 90th birthday?
THE TRACIE SONG
tune of THE TROLLEY SONG
(verse)
With a London triumph, an iconic role
And reviews my mother couldn’t write
It’s such a thing of beauty,
The praise I won as Judy
I kicked butt, to be polite
Ching ka-ching went producers
Ring, ring, ring went the phone
Yes, yes, yes went investors
Even though I was kind of unknown
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the columns
Hype, hype, hype went the net
Type, type, type went the lawyers
The investment felt like a sure bet
Here in New York, the praises spread
But all the same we started out of town instead
We took it slow, our goal was clear
We all were hoping that the critics soon would cheer
Whoo, whoo, whoo went the papers
Up, up, up went my star
Stop, stop, stop went the presses
As the buzz starts to grow the whole town comes to know
That I’m grand
And exactly as planned
All the phone lines are manned
As we stand
With a hand
For the brand
For our show!
Here on Judy’s nine-oh!
Thanks, everyone. I'm going back to bed.
DR elmore - Condolences again to you and your family. I have a feeling your Aunt Jenny will make herself known to you over the next couple of days if she hasn't already,
Thanks, everyone. I'm going back to bed.
DR Ben, feel better!
The repair service called about the AC. They'll be here on Friday.
Good morning all.
I've woke to a cool house so I am thinking that the problem with the AC is indeed fixed. One problem down!
I didn't feel like walking either last night or this morning. Maybe tonight when things are calmer.
I have to get ready to take Sheena to the vet. I gave her a bath last night so she would be nice and clean. Toby jumped in the tub as soon as Sheena got out. He wanted a bath too.
I'm still debating as to if I should put the doggie door panel in and keep him in the house today. I don't want him trying to get out of the yard. I'm thinking the house would be best. The AC is working. I just hope he doesn't take it in his head to tear everything up.
Vibes to all who need them.
So sorry to hear of your loss, DR Elmoore.
Have a wonder filled day all!
Good morning, all! I slept late, and I plan to do very little today. Take a walk, visit a hardware store to have keys made, and tidy the apartment.
No, DR John G, nothing's been done about the AC. I'm dragging my feet on spending the money, and I need to send another email to my landlord, since I received no response in the past week to a phone call or an email.
I have little more to report.
More coffee!
Starting to work on lines for SEE HOW THEY RUN. We block Act One tonight......
We are using the blocking in the book....exactly....HOWEVER they have reversed the set - so "just follow the blocking, only go the opposite way than it says....oh and the kitchen is up stage left - not center....."

That's great, Jack!
BK, such a nice write up of THE ARTIST. Like any movie, some liked it and some didn't, but some seemed to want to dislike it because everyone else did like it. I have never understood that type of attitude.
I never like or dislike based on whether something is popular or not.

Why is there an Exit sign out on the ledge?
DR Jose, with all of that alcohol how in the world did you get home....or did you? ;)
I feel it is my duty to report that I have had the best Turkey and Avocado sandwich from Subway that I have ever eaten.
That's quite a recommendation, TCB. How many have you had?

Shouldn't it say Exeunt?
DR TCB - he is making up for not using his own blocking by giving everybody line readings.

Mikey, yesterday afternoon they did a segment on water polo and its coverage over the years, Apparently back in the 50s, the Soviet team took on a team from one of the countries they had recently invaded. it was apparently one of the bloodiest and most violent matches ever covered in the Olympics.Oh, the images that you conjure, TCB.
They did say that those skimpy little bathing suits are often either used for a wedgie, or are completely torn off by the opposing team. Hmmm!

Hardly a moment too soon. Friday and Saturday, at least, are forecast to be 90 or above.
I feel it is my duty to report that I have had the best Turkey and Avocado sandwich from Subway that I have ever eaten.
Having seen so many commercials for them, I've been wondering how their avocado sandwiches are. Not that I get to Subway very often. In fact, I rarely do, a habit from the many years before they expanded from their old original menu items which I used to find pretty boring, or at least no better than average when compared with other subs or hoagies or grinders or [insert your regional name for them here].
Just learned that my book is now on sale at the San Antonio Costcos. Haven't seen it on the shelf anywhere, but that sounds so cool.

I have a cold and I decided to stay home from work. I'll probably go in tomorrow. I knew it was happening yesterday and by last night I had a full-fledged cold with a stuffy nose and a cough.
I've been up and down since this morning. Anthony is at the post office. When he comes home we will have lunch.
I feel it is my duty to report that Rex is fascinated by the pigeon in the birdbath.
wow, great review for The Nutty Professor, wish I could have been there last Saturday, but glad I stayed home, I'm feeling SO much better

For this particular production - you are lucky I have not put SPOTLIGHTS on the exit signs.

Mike, we're looking at a lot of things. No, Mrs. Brolin does not own the album, but there are some contractual clauses that must be looked at carefully - I don't think it will be insurmountable, but the real question is how much can we help a three-track recording. The answer to that question, if positive, will open up a lot of interesting doors.
I swear that I didn't edit this. I found this on the Cannes Film Festival Website. This is the last line of the synopsis of the film GIU LA TESTA (ONCE UPON A TIME...THE REVELOUTION. (Aka Duck You Sucker aka A Fistful of Dynamite.)
"Miranda and Mallory have become great friends, but right when Juan needs John the most, the latter is shot in the back and he blows himself."

ASK BK #2
I am not sure if i asked this question before but......
Did you ever see McKenna's Gold (1969) in the theaters?
I saw the last 30 moinutes or so on Encore tonight and it looks like it was edited down* and/or scenes refilmed as so many of the dialogue and action seems to have been done in front of a process screen.
*As they earthquake hits the three survivors are climbing down the face of the cliff and our quite distance from their horses. and there is a jump cut and they are now at their horses"
May I ask folks in the New York area to mark down the evening of
SUNDAY AUGUST 19

JOE ALLEN'S GATHERING NIGHT
Good Evening!
I saw DOGFIGHT earlier tonight at Second Stage. It's a new musical written by one of the "new musical theatre" writing teams. In this case, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul - Pasek & Paul, and a book by Peter Duchan. And directed by Joe Mantello.
It's based on the 1991 film of the same name that starred River Phoenix, and it centers on three young men and how they spend their last night stateside before being shipped off to Vietnam, which involves a very cruel "party trick". It's a great cast led by the ever-amazing Lindsay Mendez and Derek Klena.
It's definitely a pop-rock score, and I found myself pleasantly surprised by some of its more intricate and intimate moments.
