Mr Jennings is in the lead after the first night....most entertaining.

I could be wrong.

He likes lying on my paper, getting petted, and kissed, and then strolling around my work table checking out my toys. He also likes to grab my hand in his paws and lick my fingers and give me little love bites. Annabelle just likes to roll around on my score and pick up paper clips with her claws. They both like to chew on my rulers.

Stella prefers to pick a nice spot, preferably right on the area I'm writing in, lie down and nap.

Thanks for the link, John. Roger Bart was really good when I saw the pre-Broadway run in Seattle, but I think that it would be cool if they got Zachary Levi to play Frankenstein ("It's Frahnkensteen!"). He was supposed to originate the role on Broadway, but then his TV show Chuck got picked up and he had to drop out of the musical.

Post by: John G. on January 08, 2020, 08:34:57 PM: Never Look Away was directed by the man who made The Lives of Others, which remains one of the best movies I've ever seen. This was not quite that good, but I think it needed the 3 hours to tell its tale properly.

Do we need a live version of Young Frankenstein the Musical? We’re getting one.

You mean, live on TV? Because I saw it live in Seattle.

Live on TV. I slept through it here in SA.

Just wanted to make sure. Do you know which station? Fox, NBC, ABC? I have heard anything about this, yet.

ABC.

Thanks for the link, John. Roger Bart was really good when I saw the pre-Broadway run in Seattle, but I think that it would be cool if they got Zachary Levi to play Frankenstein ("It's Frahnkensteen!"). He was supposed to originate the role on Broadway, but then his TV show Chuck got picked up and he had to drop out of the musical.

I like Levi.

Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: FJL on January 08, 2020, 10:33:00 PM: Also, the memorable "Plastics" exchange in THE GRADUATE, which he co-wrote, or, I guess, actually took over writing at Mike Nichols' request.

The movie version of The Glamorous Life.

Post by: bk on January 08, 2020, 11:22:18 PM: I really must be losing my mind, as my close personal friend, Mr. Stephen Sondheim, once said. I thought I'd posted when I got up, but I think I got involved in a phone call and then went right to futzing and finessing.
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: bk on January 08, 2020, 11:23:37 PM: I printed out 311 pages, got a copy made, ate lunch - chili, cheese, and onion hot dog and some fries - picked up one package, dropped the 311 pages off to Muse Margaret, and came home and wrote twenty pages, after which I had to mosey on over to the theater.

Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: TCB on January 08, 2020, 11:24:56 PM: At least we made it to page four.

BK, can you give us any hints about your new book.
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: TCB on January 08, 2020, 11:35:12 PM: You said that it was non-fiction?
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: TCB on January 08, 2020, 11:37:38 PM: It is probably a hilarious expose of those wild and wacky characters who occupy his HHW website day in and day out.
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: TCB on January 08, 2020, 11:38:13 PM: Hell, I would buy a couple of copies.
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: TCB on January 08, 2020, 11:40:39 PM: Or a semi-fictionalized murder mystery version of what happened to some of the regulars who suddenly vanished without warning.

Post by: George on January 09, 2020, 12:00:59 AM: After that, I went to The Home Depot to get a new house key, some wall filler for small holes, and a paint brush.
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: George on January 09, 2020, 12:01:49 AM: I finally decided to fill some holes in the wall in my downstairs bathroom, so I got what I needed.
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: George on January 09, 2020, 12:02:26 AM: I had some leftover paint to paint over it all, so why the heck not cover the holes??

Post by: George on January 09, 2020, 12:02:35 AM: So I did. :)
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: George on January 09, 2020, 12:03:04 AM: Then, I went to Fred Meyer and was just looking around, but I saw a gaming keyboard that was on sale.
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: George on January 09, 2020, 12:03:21 AM: It was normally $55, but on sale for only $25!
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: George on January 09, 2020, 12:04:48 AM: I wanted to get a different keyboard because the one that I'm using on my upstairs Windows 10 computer has the Insert, Home, Page Up, Delete, and Page Down buttons in the wrong places, so I wanted to finally get a keyboard that was correct. ;)
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: George on January 09, 2020, 12:05:03 AM: It also came with a mouse, and a headset with a microphone.
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: George on January 09, 2020, 12:05:40 AM: It has the headset so that people who do online gaming can talk and hear what's going on.
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: George on January 09, 2020, 12:06:11 AM: Of course, I don't need the headset, but I can actually plug it into my phone and use it for calls! ;D
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: George on January 09, 2020, 12:07:15 AM: It's pretty weird to use this headset with big cuffs to make calls on my phone, but I'm surprised that it actually works.
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: George on January 09, 2020, 12:07:51 AM: The keyboard has lights under the keys I guess to make them easier to see.
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: George on January 09, 2020, 12:08:19 AM: I learned to touch-type, so I don't really need these lights, but they're fun to have...they're all rainbow colors!

Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE
Post by: George on January 09, 2020, 12:22:19 AM: And as far as mice (mouses?) go, it's pretty comfortable. It also has a few other buttons for gaming, but I don't have to use them. They're not in places that I normally reach, so I can just ignore them.
Title: Re: THE DAY MY HEAD DIDN'T EXPLODE

Post by: George on January 09, 2020, 12:25:38 AM: The commercially released DVD of course has different breaks than the original cast album because it has dialog scenes that weren't recorded, so I'm making a few changes in the chapters as compared to the DVD.
