There are many other shows I would like to have seen. Even though I've seen the Pennybaker film I would have loved to have been present at the Company recording, especially the Elaine Stritch sequence.
A big summery typhoon was supposed to hit Tokyo last late night. But it avoided me and has gone away losing its power.
BALLLLLLZAC!
I missed the impromptu Music Man jam last night, but I'll take the opportunity to add...
She made brazen overtures to a man who never had a friend in this town till she came here
In true Marian the Librarian fashion, I fell in love with (and married) someone who I met across the reference desk.
Jose, did you get my email?
TOD:
I would like to have been at the sessions for the soundtrack of MAME. Watching Jerry Herman going crazy coaching Miss Ball would have been quite interesting. Also, the Streisand Broadway Album sessions.
Yes, as Ms Streisand tells the orchestrator(s) how to redo their work.

HERE!
Where a woman's heart should be!
Warning, Warning...reality show talk ahead!
Regarding BB6:
I really hate to see Eric leave. I like him and Maggie. But it does seem I am in the minority on that....but can someone tell me why James keeps saying that Eric screwed him over? I don't remember Eric doing anything bad to him (or anyone else). He did make a lot of deals with people that if they got HOH they wouldn't put him on the block, but I don't see anything wrong with that.
As you know I really like Kaysar...he is a smart player, but I wish he would have kept his word to Eric. I was disappointed that he did not. Also, I am afraid that others will use that against him in the future saying that they can't trust him because he didn't keep his word to Eric.
The marine layer is presently covering all of the San Francisco Bay area that I can see (SF to Oakland to Berkely and due south). The temperature is about 65 degrees.
Brrrrrrr!
Or I could go back to an early BABES IN TOYLAND recording session and take good notes, so Elmore would have to pay me large amounts of money for my knowledge.

And the word of the day is: TRANSMOGRIFY!Let's change that word!
At the moment, waiting until we have new kitchen and stereo cabinets, our CD’s have been packed away. I don’t even know where Keith put them. I should find out so I can transfer a few into my car. Bruce, I’m sorry to say, until I have a new CD player I won’t be purchasing any CD’s.
The current temperature in the City of New York is 95 degrees with a heat index of 108. Tonight, though, it's supposed to drop to 77 degrees! Oh, joy! Rapture!
No no no - not Defying Gravity!!!!
I shall now be on my way to the dry cleaners, then on to Grant's.

Kerry, drink lots of water!!! You and Lyn and the dogs have it worse than us. And don't tell me it's a dry heat. I've heard that song before. An oven is an oven ;)
Sorry to have been so E&T. My weekend (the Julie Budd concert and my camp's 30th anniversary celebration) was pretty spectacular. I didn't think I was going to have as good a time at the reunion as I did, but I did. The line-up of those sharing their memories of Stagedoor Manor was very impressive: Jon Cryer, Josh Charles, Mandy Moore (OK, so not all of them were that impressive...), Zach Braff, Jonathan Marc Sherman, Jeff Blumenkrantz (who, with Todd Graff were the only ones that were at camp when I was there). And that is just from the people who showed up. As I mentioned last week, there are others who have gone on to some fairly major careers, who did not show up. There were video montages, and songs from former campers as well. And then we all got to go back to camp, and revisit our pasts! (The show was at Kutshers, where I was staying for the weekend.) Pretty terrific, all the way around. On the other hand, however, I can say that even those Borscht Belt hotels that are still around are like Norma Desmond's mansion: All faded glory, and alte-kockers.
Just had an unexpected visit to the office by DR Jose who brought gifts! Two loverly cream puffs from Beard Papa. :) I sampled each one and I must say...Mmmmmmmm! The strawberry is particularly good.
Thank you, Jose! :)
That calls for a page 3 dance, don't you think?

Sampled?
What? You took a bite out of each one and that was it?
Sampled?
or DEVOURED?
Didn't, you, in actuality, SCARF down both?
:D
Sampled!
Hmmph!
Are there fresh strawberries in the strawberry cream puffs?
My Paris Cast Recording of Les Mis arrived.... how cool is that???
I also got around to watching last night's RENO 911! Much funnier than last week's show, and Jonsie's voiceover career was really funny, especially how it ended up.
Sounds like a great event! I used to work with a young woman who went to Stagedoor Manor at the same time as Natalie Portman!
Jennifer-
Take the money! You aren't close enough for them to assume you'd do it for free.
And it was quite delicious, as is the kind gentlema....umm....
Do you recall her name? (your co-worker's, not Natalie Portman's!)
You wicked, wicked young man! ;)
DR MattH, I sure do wish ROOM 222 would release on DVD!
Esoterica.Check with DR François (Tomorrow!)
I have a copy of the Julie Andrews album The Lass With the Delicate Air in LIVING STEREO.
My copy shows her standing 3/4 figure in a skirt and blouse holding a small bouquet of flowers.
On Ebay...an album of the same name - said to be the original release - has a yellow cover with Julie in a yellow dress holding flowers.
My album is also copyrighted in the year of the original release.
Does any DR know which of these covers was the ORIGINAL?
Je suis un angel!
No, not her...I want--That Girl!
I want That Girl on DVD, anyway.

Every time you say you are on your way to Grant's, I think you mean the department store:

...and I think, "Gee--I guess they still have Grant's in California."
"Oh, Donald!"
There is a THAT GIRL dvd...just selected episodes, but good ones!
I've still got friends who are anxiously waiting for Disney to release DR. SYN ALIAS THE SCARECROW (sometimes called THE SCARECROW OF ROMNEY MARSH.) It's another one of those which has been announced a couple of times and then put away.
Great minds must think alike--I thought the same thing, DR Dan (the Man).
I miss the local Grants. That was a very neat store.
Speaking of scarecrows, anybody a fan of "The Scarecrow and Mrs. King"?
:D

And did Donald call her "Ann" or "Ann-Marie"?
Are you slippin', Dan (tM)?
And did anyone think Donald was really good enough for her?
And, yes, I do wear a size 7-7/8 hat!
;D
...And, no, I'm not telling... yet.
