Well, you've read the notes, the notes were written in June and busted out all over, and now it is time for you to post until the busting out all over June cows come home.

But I woke up at (ugh) 5:30 in the a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep, AND I've got a very full day ahead. So here I am, however briefly.

Last night for an hour I attended the li'l Elton John event my friend was playing. It was fun, but hanging around noisy bar and music events is SO not my thing.

Then I saw an opening of Cuckoo's Nest, which I hadn't seen in any form for at least fifteen years. It's very good, but there were a few loose technical nuts and bolts and it will improve. I might go along with friends in a few weeks to see it again. We'll see about that.

I'd always liked Arthur Treacher's fish when it was around, but maybe because I was now old, I actually liked it even more than any of the McDonald's burgers.

I guess Richard Widmark and Henry Fonda enjoyed working with each other. They also did Madigan and How the West Was Won together.

And Widmark married Susan Blanchard, who had been one of Fonda's wives. She lived in update New York for awhile and hosted a few fundraisers for the council on the arts I was president of. Nice lady.

Got a funny e-mail from the gal who's doing the Adriana book.  She didn't understand the etc. etc. etc. stuff.  She's in her early twenties.  I explained about The King and I and linked her to a YouTube clip of Yul saying it.

Yes!  It's VERY important to know how to say those etcs!

Sad. But thank you for adding to her education.

Apparently, Yul would just drop "A Puzzlement" when he wasn't feeling up to it. 

Maybe she'd seen one of those performances?

There was reportedly a cue for the conductor where he'd just cry out some line about it being a puzzlement. 

But he never  held back on "Shall We Dance," also reportedly, so the audience went home OK, since the dropped sing was so early in the show.

I don't know how I'd feel if I saw "Sweet Charity" and Gwen Verdon had dropped a number that night.

I often forget one thing, maybe two. Five is pushing it, sir.

Yup. Tell me. And they were essentials, like garlic and olive oil.

Not essential in this house, especially the garlic.  On the other hand if there is no sour cream or tea ....well I can't even bear to think about it

An unspeakable tragedy.

I did marry a Brit...there are penalties for such actions

I'm about ready to head over to the Y.  Today I caught Thatch grooming Stella, and he loves to go into her cage and check out the space.  I've told him he cannot move in, but he doesn't listen to me.

It was really wonderful, and each singer had some glorious moments.  The Act Two Judy-Barbra "Get Happy,"" sung by Ana Gasteyer and Marcy Harriell, kicked the second act into high gear.  It was amazing.  I hope someone considers recording this.  They made some cuts today to bring each act to 60 minutes, but I did miss the Oscar Meyer Wiener song.

The new Les Mis mini-series from Masterpiece has come in at the library. I guess I'm going to fall into a few hours of Hugo storytelling by way of Andrew Davies, who can either be brilliant (Daniel Deronda, Pride and Prejudice) or dreadful (A Room with a View, War and Peace).

I didn't.  I'm bothered by a black Javert.  I know that in 1830s France that never would have happened, and the BBC's color-blind casting bothers me.  I'm not a racist, I hope, but the disregard for historical accuracy irks me.  I am curious about it since there's so much in the novel that film and musical trivialize or ignore.

We shall see. That doesn't both me so much, if only because this is the umpteenth filming of the tale.If it were the only version, that might be more of a problem. He's not Russell Crowe, so that's a huge plus in my book.

I waited around six hours.  Oh, God no, I am dreading Nicky’s one car ride next weekend.  He hates to ride in the car.
