Well, you've read the notes, the notes were hoping for the hopeful many things, and now it is time for you to post until the hopefully hopeful hoping cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: SYMBIOSIS!
-
Topic of the Day: I haven't really watched much of anything lately, so I have no suggestions. :-\
-
Good morning, all!
-
I am rather frustrated this morning. It's time to trade in the iMac I've had for the past nine years because it's so outdated. I've spent too much time this morning doing a search for a link on the ballet, and I am not amused. I know it's here; I just cannot find it.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
Who's THE BOSS? Apparently, DR George is. :)
-
That sandwich looks really good.
-
As do the framed window cards.
-
Glad the Rodzinskis are home, safe & sound.
-
DR John G., how much longer do you have to use heat and ice on the finger? What a pain.
-
Astonished at all the last-minute Sami adjustments that were required, but how nimbly BK and his team reacted on the fly.

-
Good morning, all.
-
DR John G., how much longer do you have to use heat and ice on the finger? What a pain.
I hope I can stop it before vacation in June.
-
Otherwise I will have to figure out something for while I am away from home.
-
I slept last night. It was nice.
-
Glad the Rodzinskis are home, safe & sound.
Indeed.

Nice pictures, George.

Good morning, all.

Well, we made it through the final dress rehearsal mostly unscathed. Let’s hope no one gets scathed tonight.
-
Today, some work on the piano book for Into the Woods.
-
More coffee!
-
I wait now for Amazon Fresh to show up. I have a long dance coming up for the ballet, so I've printed out the score abd spent the last 30 minutes making notes.

Good morning!

Great!

I just had my first disastrous Amazon Fresh delivery. I think there's a shopping bag with 5 or 6 of my items sitting in another apartment or swtill sitting at Amazon. And when the ice cream arrives and it isn't frozen, someone at Amazon is not packing frozen items very securely.

Ice cream soup. Not my favorite.

HA! We have thunderstorm warnings at my house.....but temp is 61 degrees - so until we get it, the windows stay open!
-
Very interesting about the SAMI episode.....I can imagine it's somebody's job to watch for those things AND NOTHING ELSE.
Good to hear that everything was solved.
-
I also feel sorry for the cabaret singer who got left out because of it....bummer.
-
I think MR BK put his finger right on why I am not enjoying to the utmost the HBO Perry Mason.....the character is weak.
Perhaps the idea from the beginning was to do a woke DELLA show, but not many folks would watch that - so we got pulled in.
There is a new episode every Monday night - and there have been three this season so that's all that is available until next Monday.

TOD:
HBO - Somebody Somewhere.
Season Two is starting on April 25 - so season one should be available for viewing.

Someone's in the kitchen with DELLA, strummin' on the ol' banjo!

From DR Ron:
Re: Brendan Fraser
Another film you just don't read or hear about is "Mrs. Winterbourne". Fraser plays twin brothers in this film, and he is quite charming throughout. It "stars" Shirley MacLaine as Fraser's mother, but the story is about Ricki Lake's character who is "mistaken" for the wife of one of the brothers (who gets killed in a train crash along with his real wife but in which Lake's character survives. She is mistaken for the brother's wife because she was wearing that lady's wedding ring when the train crashed).
While I remember the film as a good remake of Barbara Stanwyck's No Man of Her Own, I didn't remember Fraser was in it.

I asked Google's new AI client, "Bard," to comment on Stephen Sondheim's influence on American musical theater.
I got this response:
Stephen Sondheim was one of the most influential composers and lyricists in American musical theater history. His work helped to shape the modern musical, with its complex plots, challenging lyrics, and sophisticated melodies. Sondheim's musicals were often about difficult subjects, such as loneliness, alienation, and the dark side of human nature. He also experimented with new forms and styles, such as the concept musical and the opera. Sondheim's work has been praised by critics and audiences alike, and his musicals have been produced all over the world.

Doing a woke DELLA show takes the fun out of their flirting, and wondering if there is something between Della and Perry or not.

When I asked it to write a poem about water in the style of Sondheim, the results were much farther amiss:
Sure, here is a poem about water in the style of Steven Sondheim:
Water
Water, water, everywhere,
But not a drop to drink.
The ocean's vast and deep,
But it's not for us to keep.
Water, water, falling from the sky,
But it doesn't last long.
It's gone before we know it,
And then we're back to drought.
Water, water, so essential to life,
But we take it for granted.
We waste it and pollute it,
And then we wonder why we're thirsty.
Water, water, we need you so,
But we don't know how to care for you.
We're destroying you with our greed,
And soon you'll be gone forever.
Water, water, we beg you,
Please don't leave us.
We need you to survive,
And we're so sorry for the way we've treated you.
Water, water, we promise to change.
We'll be more careful with you,
And we'll never take you for granted again.
Water, water, we love you.
Please don't leave us.
-
I don't think this would have made it past his wastebasket.

And that’s a euphemism for what?
You dirty man! Sit next to me.

Reads like something artificial wrote it.

The intelligence part is questionable.

No!! Not the ice cream!! :o

Ice cream soup. Not my favorite.
I have this memory of a Partridge Family episode where they had to turn off the power for a while for some reason and they're sitting around the dinner table in the dark and Laurie had the line, "Shut up and drink your ice cream." ;D

I just read 9 chapters of the Jeff Whitty info.....oh my!
-
Back online. The technician is wonderful and really knows his stuff. When he got here he showed me that everything was in the red - which meant interference on everything - phone and Internet and all had to do with ATT being stupid and using cheap stuff AND trying me in with the fellow in the back house. He's now given me my own line and everything should be better now because of it.
-
When I looked at the email confirming the appointment, I noticed it had my old, old phone number on it and if they tried to call that they might cancel. So, I called Spectrum and got that old number off - I'd already put in the correct landline number and then I added the cell so they could send text updates. She told me that nothing had been cancelled. She could not have been nicer and this entire experience with Spectrum has been wonderful.
-
That said, the Internet WAS out last night, but only for about thirty minutes at three in the morning.
-
That's the day so far. No idea how much more he has to do outside before coming in and doing whatever he needs to in here, which I think is just plugging the main phone base into the modem rather than the wall thing.
-
After that, I'll call ATT and make sure they understand no more ATT, no more auto pay, and when am I getting the refunds.
-
The woman at Spectrum recommended I do that just to insure that ATT did it and I got confirmation.
-
Good news, BK.
-
And good news from DR elmore3003 as well.

I just read that someone has created a 7-ingredient 3-D printed cheesecake.

Hello, everyone.

Bruce, that's great that you were able to save so much money on your phone and internet. I'm currently using Consumer Cellular -- it's cheap and no dropped calls or other problems. You're also the first person I know to get their phone service from Spectrum and I'm glad to hear that they've done a good job.

Bruce, I think you'd enjoy the subsequent seasons of THE GOOD FIGHT.
HACKS, starring Jean Smart, isn't the sort of show I'd usually watch, but it's well done and I find the generational interplay interesting.

Well, the author of the WaPo article didn't catch the five-digit phone number thing. I'm sure the researched used Pennsylvania 9-5000 as their example, but that was not Los Angeles. LA didn't go Prefix and five digits until 1950. I just looked through a yellow pages from 1937 online and there is no number over Prefix and four digits.

Good night, friends.

Love this bit from Variety’s review of Bad Cinderella:
Bad Cinderella” also presumes to know what a sizable fraction of its audience wants, and panders to them shamelessly with varying degrees of success. For those who are thirsty (but mostly the gays), there’s the chorus of barechested, leather-harnessed hunks, who mug and flex in a homoerotic number pining for their lost Adonis (the sensually modern choreography is by JoAnn M. Hunter). And when (spoiler alert) Prince Charming (Cameron Loyal) returns to resolve the mismatched marriage plot, he’s built like a truck and accompanied by a lover (Ben Lanham) he might as well bench-press to the altar. It’s a gay-us ex machina moment contrived for maximum squeal effect, but the jarring celebration of queerness rings hollow in a show otherwise enthralled to convention, because Prince Charming and his brawny bod are emphatically held up as the height of masculinity.
-
Needless to say, it was not a favorable review.
-
But the critic loved Carolee Carmello.

Our short hour flight was on a small plane. We boarded outside and had to walk up the narrowest stairs I have ever boarded on.
-
So, the pacing is so slow on this thst I almost fell asleep. I don’t like the addition of “if” to lyric about not knowing “if you loved me too.”
https://www.playbill.com/article/video-jordan-donica-performs-i-loved-you-once-in-silence-from-camelot-in-this-playbill-exclusive
-
There weren't many stairs.
-
In short, he’s no Julie Andrews.
-
They would have been easy if I didn't have to carry up my roll on bag.
-
There weren't many stairs.
That was nice.
-
Six!
-
Once my over the shoulder bag got tangled on the outside of the rail I couldn't lift my roll on bag up another step without wrenching my shoulder.
-
Thank goodness for the young strong man behind me who carried my bag the rest of the way.
-
My bag didn't fit inside the stairs the way I was carrying it
-
In the comedy department, I watched The Prince and the Showgirl on it's new Blu and Ray.
-
Not that it was funny.
-
No, the comedy was that after about six minutes, I fell asleep, woke up once to marvel at how much the camera loved Marilyn Monroe and how gorgeous the color was, then woke up again to the menu screen. In other words...
-
I'll actually have to watch the movie.
-
I don't really remember a thing about it from the DVD.
-
Which I may never have watched.
-
But the color.
-
That gets a huge wow.
-
I wrote JohnG because I have never gotten past the paywall at WaPo. But this time I did.
-
What?
-
Did someone say something?
-
Jane is off on another trip.
-
Rodzinski has returned from a trip.
-
I, myself, had a trip today.
-
After uploading the new URL-less episode one and its new URL-less captions, Marshall and I went to the mail place and I picked up the little package and...
-
Drum roll...
-
The green envelope.
-
As we were driving, thinking about going to Hugo's for lunch, Marshall said the most brilliant thing - "Is Barone's around here?"
-
And that's where we went. I don't think I've been there in a year.
-
Hard to believe.
-
Marshall had the scampi, which I strongly recommended to him, while I had to have the spaghetti carbonara and a little salad - we split an order of their excellent garlicky garlic bread.
-
I shared some of the salad so Marshall could marvel at the Eyetalian dressing.
-
The garlicky garlic bread was great.
-
He went batty over his scampi.
-
Jane is off on another trip.
We haven't been out of the country since before covid.
-
And I went batty over the carbonara - really a lot of cream this time, more than usual, but boy was it amazing, the best in all LA.
-
We both had to be dollied out of there.
-
I'm still full as full can be and I do hope the creamy cream settles before bedtime.
-
Bedtime will be at a reasonable hour tonight.
-
Of course, I already slept close to two hours this evening.
-
The Prince and the Showgirl opened in a wide release on July 3, 1957 and was favorably reviewed in the LA Times. I know I saw it back then, probably at the Stadium at some point, although it did play the Village in Westwood and I did go there occasionally, but probably not for something like this. I do know that that week I did see the double bill playing at the Lido - The Incredible Shrinking Man and The Deadly Mantis.
-
I wrote JohnG because I have never gotten past the paywall at WaPo. But this time I did.
I emailed it to you.
-
I liked Marilyn in Prince and the Showgirl. I did not like Olivier. And I didn’t find it all that funny.
-
But it’s been maybe 35 years.
-
Strange Brew was a hoot. They stole from Hamlet and Gulliver’s Travels. If you gotta steal, steal from the classics.
-
I would turn ten that year. Had my parents known who I actually was, they would have and should have been taking me to the theater, but that actually never happened until they got good seats for Follies at the new Shubert Theater here. Yep, first and ONLY time they took me to the theater - no, I'm wrong, one other time - to see A Family Affair, the flop B'way musical at a tiny theater on Santa Monica Blvd. Had they been taking me to the theater, then during that week of July 3 or any of the few weeks prior or after, they could have taken me to the Huntington Hartford Theater to see Ruth Gordon and Loring Smith in The Matchmaker - can you even imagine? Or they could have taken me to the Philharmonic Opera for the Civic Light Opera's new production of South Pacific, starring, you know, Mary Martin and Giorgio Tozzi. Can you even imagine? Or maybe to the Greek Theater to see someone named Judy Garland.
-
Meanwhile, The Ten Commandment was in its eighth month at the Stanley Warner Beverly Hills. The Pride and the Passion was at the Wilshire, although I'd see it at the Stadium a few weeks later. Sweet Smell of Success was playing wide around town, including the Picwood in West LA. Love in the Afternoon was at the Egyptian. Gunfight at the OK Corral was playing around town, including the Wiltern, where I'm pretty sure I saw it.
-
Over at the Broadway in Hollywood, you could get crinkle-crepe pajamas on sale for 2.99
-
And as I said, I'd see The Prince and the Showgirl at the Stadium on Saturday August 3, with Johnny Tremaine.
-
On July 29th, the Broadway had a sale on TVs and you could get a giant 21-inch General Electric Ultra Vision set for $188.
-

Page eight has made an appearance.
-
At least we got that far.
-
Eight is not nine.
-
Then again, nine is not eight.
-
Such are the mysterious mysteries of the universe.
-
And?
-
Say what?
-
Tonight, I ushered for Los Lobos.
-
I can't hear you?
-
I Ushered for Los Lobos is the title of my next novel.
-
Louder.
-
Faster.
-
They were celebrating their 50th year in the biz, so the audience was filled with fans of the older generations.
-
Funnier.
-
They've been in the business almost as long as I've been in the business.
-
They were really good, but I was never specifically a fan, so the concert itself was just a really good concert...nothing incredibly special.
-
There's no business like show business like no business I know.
-
Did they sing that song?
-
Their opening act, however, was a woman named Gaby Moreno, and she was fantastic!
-
Does their name mean The Wolves?
-
Did they sing that song?
Nope. It wasn't in their song set.
-
Is she related to Rita?
-
Is Rita related to Chita?
-
They both played Anita.
-
And that's pretty sweet-a.
-
We are surprisingly close.
-
I bought her CD, and they had autographed record artwork (basically, just the front of the album) for $10.
-
Very close.
-
Closer than ever.
-
Page nine shall be mine.
-
And so it is.
-
Is she related to Rita?
I assume not, but I didn't look her up, yet.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
