Well, I need to go now.  I'm not going to bed just yet.  I have an iTunes update and need to restart my computer, then I need to balance my checkbook.  It's only been a couple of weeks or so (not the couple of months that it had been before), but it needs to be done, so I'm going to do it.

Have a good day, all!

Thank you, BK! 

I, too, love the film of FLOWER DRUM SONG, which I first saw at Middletown's late Paramount Theatre on opening night.  It's one of the few films I can remember seeing with my mother.

And I love love love "Chop Suey!"  What a wonderful inclusive song.

I just replied. 

The shitty neighbor across from me who complained about my leaving "smelly" garbage, which it wasn't, in the hall when the elevator was out and I couldn't carry things own the stairs, has now complained to the management about the seven cartons of books neatly stacked nextr to my door.  I had already told the super and the neighbors I speak to on the third floor what was going on, but I have never once complained to the management about this jackass who leaves his bike outside the foor, leaves piles of lumber, ikd furniture, and other crap outside for weeks.  I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you!

I have no wonderful theaters to recall for this one, but I was totally enchanted by FLOWER DRUM SONG and its setting and music when my family and I first saw it. Then not seeing it for some years after that, my main memory was of Juanita Hall. But when I returned to it I loved everyone. And yes, “Chop Suey” always managed to be especially memorable.

Tomorrow's fine, DR ChasSmith.  Please don't worry about it.  As to my neighbor, he's been difficult for some time.  When I was first afflicted in 2013, he was the only neighbor who never offered any assistance.  Since then he's told Val and others that I'm a fraud and can walk with no problems, and you cannot fight imbecility.

I had a bad fall last night.  When Annabelle decides to be underfoot, she means it.  I had to step over her when she decided to sit under my feet while I washed dishes.  I stepped over her, she decided to move, I lost my balance, fell over the humidifier and landed hard on my hip.  I still held on to the glass of water for my nightly meds, but it could have broken in the fall, and I could have broken a hip, but there was much pain, much yelling at Annabelle who ran for the nearest hiding place, and no blood.

When I calmed down and got off the floor, I had t find her to pet her and ascertain she was uninjured.

Oh man. That’s scary. And I know wherefore I speak, as our Mikey is the King of Underfoot. The greatest threat is when we’re in the kitchen at anything close to feeding time. I recently declared that one mustn’t take a single step backward or to the side without looking down and checking. Okay, sometimes walking forward, too. Like, at the top of the stairs...

I will be attending the SISTER ACT run thru for Act One tonight....originally scheduled for 6:30 p.m.  But now, since some of the participants wish to audition for the upcoming Opera....the run thru has been pushed back to 7:15 p.m. - which really messes me up, because I wanted to get to the BAREFOOT IN THE PARK performance which ends about 10:30 p.m.

Same will be happening tomorrow....oh well....I may make it for the curtain calls.

I have the cast album which I love AND the soundtrack...both on LP and CD.  Flower Drum Song LP's were in the group that I was giving away to family and friends, and I could not persuade anyone to take one.....

MR BK I believe I read at one time that the paintings from the credits were hanging in the office of Mr. Ross Hunter - and some of them were at his home in Trusdale.

So if his estate or the estate of his partner Jacques Mapes had an auction, they were probably sold then....

I've always loved the ancestor paintings created by Burt Schoenberg for that wonderful scene (one of my top favorites) in "House of Usher". I think Roger Corman says on a commentary that he doesn't have any idea what happened to them. Well, all I know is that I don't have them.

For some reason, even though singdaw come back to HHW after something that could have been worded differently, and had stayed quite a while before his life took him away again, Ms. Julie Miller is now claiming in a lengthy manifesto that singdaw left HHW because of something I said - which is technically right about the first time, but not the second time.

Maybe if I actually met cyberstalker-Encores-videographer Jonathan Frank... LOL!   
But definitely one of his posting-pals Jeffrey Brooks, "vic" on Stalkin Broadway, and Talkin Broadway, when I finally got his name and googled (Jeffrey Brooks was an active GMHC lawyer and did speaking at colleges and such), I said OMG, actually had the sheet where he first gave me his number in the 1980s stapled in my Rolodex from AIG and some pals  remembered him, even recalled his life partner then was a big AIDS activist.  When I reminded him, maybe he googled me and added the years, but Jeffrey seemed to back off then.

Jonathan Frank still does the stuff in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Former DR singdaw has dropped me as a friend, and when I tried to apologize for whatever events occurred to provoke something I do not even remember, he stopped communicating. 

He came back as DAW the second time, is that right? 

It was one of those things where for all the typed rancor, I felt Ok just going over and wanting to hug him at a Drama Book Stop event after that, the one for BK!  I recall meeting Jane Klain that night, which I enjoyed.



I don't see a DAW in the member listing.

I don't remember the first Singdaw brouhaha - I don't think there was any specific thing the second time he left - just got busy.  I've asked him to come back a few times, but he's not so I don't ask.

I think you are right that he just got busy the second time.

DR elmore how is your hip today?  Pets underfoot it one of many reasons I don't have any pets. 

I am hobbling around in a good deal of pain.  Walking is a real effort today.

Super vibes each day is better and you can still do something special for your birthday.

She went to live on a farm when we decided two dogs was enough....the first week she was there, she decided she could take on a couple of roosters....and lost the fight...

DR JRand68, I must have missed you earlier! Thank you!

Well, I need to go now.  I'm not going to bed just yet.  I have an iTunes update and need to restart my computer, then I need to balance my checkbook.  It's only been a couple of weeks or so (not the couple of months that it had been before), but it needs to be done, so I'm going to do it.

Have a good day, all!

DR George, I don't think we tell you enough what a generous saint you are!

Coffee!!

I am eating a breakfast sandwich and getting my strength up (just fighting off an allergy attack) so I can get down to DR Elmore’s and get those cartons out of the hallway.

What a horrible neighbor that person is. What makes people like that?

Tomorrow's fine, DR ChasSmith.  Please don't worry about it.  As to my neighbor, he's been difficult for some time.  When I was first afflicted in 2013, he was the only neighbor who never offered any assistance.  Since then he's told Val and others that I'm a fraud and can walk with no problems, and you cannot fight imbecility.

Yup.  See my quote.

Nope can't fight imbecility but be find comfort in knowing his statement is so bizarre he has lost all credibility and no one will believe his lies about you.

Somebody on one of the book of face pages, I think it was Forgotten Musicals, was saying that Dance a Little Closer couldn't revived because of the dated book. Well, I'm listening to a collection of horror stories on planes called Flight or Fright, and one is by Joe Hill, Stephen King's son. It's nothing but Lerner's version of Idiot's Delight with us getting into nuclear war with North Korea, then Russia and China. Very topical and very scary.

I'm not saying Lerner's book writing was any good on it, but dated it ain't.
