Well, you've read the notes, you know why it's a lovelier than lovely Thursday, and now it is time for you to post until the 58 cows come home - they're doing the LIMBO right now.

And the word of the day is: FRAPPE!

I was surfing the web and came across this graphic image. I don't exactly know what it's about, but it has something to do with "THE 58TH YEAR OF ANY LIFE.. from the 57th to 58th Birthday"

-
It's much too late, so I'm off to bed. Have a good day, all...especially the one with the birthday!! ;D
-
Oh, almost I forgot about this last picture that I found. ;)
-
Frappe birthday to you,
Frappe birthday to you,
Frappe birthday dear Bruce,
Frappe birthday to you!
-
I have always preferred that pronunciation of frappe.
Feel better, Bruce, and have some really good cake.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR FRIEND BK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hoepfully, there are 58 exclamation points there.
Good morning, all. I'm up early to do some work on the holiday concert charts, and then I head off to Toyland for a few hours.
In the immortal words of Glen MacDonough and Victor Herbert:
"At the first cool sip
On your fevered lip,
You determine to live through the day
Life's again worthwhile
As with dawning smile
You imbibe your absinthe frappe!"

December 8, 2005. There is a knock on the door. :o

Good morning, Elmore!
TOD:
You're A Sucker For A Dame performed by Mr. Guy Haines
I Don't Wanna Get Married performed by Klea Blackhurst and Mr. Haines

Happy Birthday to Mr BK!

February came and with it came Valentine's Day. Benjamin gave out lots of Valentine's Day cards and lots of candy hearts, and he got lots of cards and candy hearts in return but, since he didn't really have a special valentine, he wondered what the point was.
Bruce Kimmel, BENJAMIN KRITZER
-
Did Benjamin know that Corinne Calvet who bought the magazine subscription from him was the daughter of the man who invented Pyrex?

TOD:
You'd Be Surprised by Miss Marilyn Monroe
You'd Be So Easy to Dance With by Mr Fred Astaire
Doin' What Comes Naturally by Miss Ethel Merman
And I love the score of CALL ME MADAM!

I was so excited by BK's birthday and the ability ro quote a lyric with frappe, I forgot the TOD!
Suppertime . . . Ethel Waters
Let's Face the Music and Dance . . . Fred Astaire
Cheek to Cheek . . . Mr Astaire
The scores to CALL ME MADAM and ANNIE, GET YOUR GUN
Heat Wave . . . Marilyn Monroe
Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee . . . Joan Morris

Forget your troubles, come on, get frappe!
-
Happy Birthday to you , Bruce!!!!! How wonderful that we are all here and celebrating this day.
Happy Birthday, too, to Rick Mason (who is at least here in my head.. and heart)
I'm throwing you THE wildest birthday party today... in my head. You're having a lot of fun already!
I think Jack probably already gave the best present in his post above.
Today, I shall dance; I shall eat and sing; I shall liquify, and because it's your birthday, I shall FRAPPE!!!
Happy Day, Sweetie!!!!
-
Happy Birthday Bruce!!!

Happy Birthday, from a fellow 58'er.
Re I. Berlin:
Rosemary Clooney---Love, You Didn't Do Right By Me
Danny Kaye-----The Best Things Happen While We're Dancing
(Tune Detective Dept.----"Night Life" from Strouse and Adams' "All American", is a direct ripoff of "The Best Things.....etc.")
-
Happiest of birthdays, dear BK!
TOD - Joan Morris' version of "You'd Be Surprised" and Shawna Hicks' version of "Take Me With You, Soldier Boy."

Happy Birthday BK from someone who still thinks the Kritzer trilogy deserved a Pulitzer Prize.
-
What a great day to end a long Errant & Truant spell for me... happy birthday, Bruce! Much joy, bliss, etc.
(It's too bloody cold in NYC to think about frappes right now)

Elan: You look soooo much like someone I know whose name is, guess what? Elan! You didn't go see SOUVENIR with a couple of guys a couple of weeks ago, did you...?

Oh happy day and Happy Birthday to BK!!!!!

I said it in English earlier this morning, so now I'll say it in Spanish (for all our bi-lingual DRs) -
!!FELIZ CUMPLEANOS, BK!!
-
Happy Birthday to Mr. BK!!!!
-
Good morning!
It's cold and overcast here, and they're calling for a "winter mix" to begin later this afternoon. Doesn't seem cold enough for anything but rain (it's 37 now), but of course the temps could drop.
At any rate, I have a lunch date but otherwise I'll be inside for rest of the day.
-
One of the DVD sets I got yesterday was the second season of MURDER SHE WROTE, so I may settle in with some of those episodes today. If not today, then definitely tomorrow.
I do have LAW & ORDER and CSI: NY from last night recorded on the DVR to get to today as well. We'll see how the afternoon goes.
-
I'm also still waiting for my replacement for THE SPY WHO LOVED ME to come in the mail. The DVD is out of print, but I found it used for a very reasonable price. Hopefully that will get here in the next day or two.

NO snow here yet, either. And my camera batteries were low. I am charging them up so I can take a picture of the stuff when and if...
MR BK is sleeping late....what does he think it is, his birthday?

Well, the sleep late bug bit me, too. I slept until almost 9 o'clock this morning, something that rarely happens to me any more.

Happy Birthday BK!
In honor of your birthday (and after taking my last antibiotic last night) i woke up with hive likes spots all over my legs. The back of my neck has a red patch. And my elbows and ankles are so patchy and itchy.
So either i have some type of pox, or i am allergic to something. :(
Am going back to the doctor tomorrow. What a surprise to wake up to! :)

Don't wait until tomorrow. You have had an adverse reaction to something. Deal with it NOW.

Well i'm going to take an antihistamine and stay on top of this. It seems to have gotten a bit better. When i called the doctor i was not sure if it was chicken pox, hives, allergic reaction or what. And since my doc is not there today. I thought I would see what I had before I go the doc.
-
Hmmm....I have to add:
The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing by Mr Danny Kaye
White Christmas by Mr Bing Crosby
-
JRand55, the 1950s AIP films are finally going to be released on DVD in the US of A...double features starting with WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST/EARTH VS THE SPIDER and HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER/BLOOD OF DRACULA!!
I for one am very pleased....and I love all four of those movies! More will be released eventually (except those titles that are still owned by Susan Hart).

Happy B'day to you,
Happy B'day to you,
Happy B'day dear BK.
Happy B'day to you!
And great that you have no show biz coyness about revealing your true age of 58 venerable years! I'm privileged to been able to share the last couple of them with you!
-
I didn't wanna say anything....but good call!
;)
Yep, it seemed a very practical decision!
:D
-
No packages today (drat!) so after I get back from luncheon, I will be catching up on last night's TV before I crack open the further adventures of Jessica Fletcher.
Then, all of my favorite shows tonight have new episodes airing!
-
What great news, DRMBARNUM. What is the release date for these classics?
-
My DVD of The Five Pennies shipped today.
-
[size=20]Happy
Birthday
BK!!![/size]
-
It just occurred to me: in just thirty years, our esteemed BK will be able to dress up and pretend that he's a piano!
Something to think about, at least. (And I've always been one for advance planning.)
-
Re TOD:
By coincidence, just yesterday der B and I picked up a copy of White Christmas.
Does der Bingle and Danny lip-synching "Sisters" count as a performance? ;D
-
I'm up, I'm up. Slept another nine hours, but am still feeling a bit sketchy. Perhaps later I shall be better and feel like a full-blown painting.
What a wonderful way to start one's birthday - with such beautifully beautiful birthday wishes here at haineshisway.com. Can't think of anything better, especially since there was no real way to celebrate today because of tonight's rehearsal.
I'm drinking EmergenC right now, but then I shall have my first birthday Diet Coke o' the day.
-
What fun to see a quote from Benjamin Kritzer.
-
It is not so easy to sleep with a pointy party hat on.
- Confuscious
-
Just got notification that my little birthday gift to myself shipped from amazon France: All the Dietrich/von Sternberg films except Shanghai Express.
-
I just had an old friend call from her kindergarten class - the entire class sang Happy Birthday.
-
No one in the jernt but me???
Say it isn't so, Joe.
-
I just had an old friend call from her kindergarten class - the entire class sang Happy Birthday.
Where she's a teacher, or a student?
(Nitpick of the day.)
-
I'm off to work again. And much of tomorrow is booked already: we're taking the grandlads to see Narnia.
-
JRand55, the release day is January 10!!
In April will come VIKING WOMEN AND THE SEA SERPENT/TEENAGE CAVEMAN and DAY THE WORLD ENDED/SHE CREATURE!!
-
I thought King Kong started this week....I guess not.
-
Just had a call from our very own Mr. Nick Redman - I think he'll be taking me out for an early-bird dinner prior to my rehearsal. So, it looks like I may indeed celebrate.
I have a screening of Kong on Saturday and will try to get up the requisite energy to go see it.
-
I want more quotes from the Kritzer books - that was just too too much fun.
-
Well i'm going to take an antihistamine and stay on top of this. It seems to have gotten a bit better. When i called the doctor i was not sure if it was chicken pox, hives, allergic reaction or what. And since my doc is not there today. I thought I would see what I had before I go the doc.
Ah, yes...SELF-diagnosis. Makes the doctor's job so much easier!
Of course, if you slip into a coma, you won't be able to tell him what the problem is!
-
Thank goodness for Reactine! It must have been hives/allergic reaction to something. I am doing much better now.
-
Well DR RonP, when I called the doctor they did not say to rush in. I've never had hives or measles so I had no idea what i had. But I undressed and checked out my body. And it was not all over.
I did check with some health professionals. And they said to try an antihistamine.
-
FRAPPE, baby, FRAPPE!
-
What fun to see a quote from Benjamin Kritzer.
;D
-
Happy birthday, BK!
-
Good news - thanks for the release date DR MBARNUM.
Finally the HEAVY snow has started, it is beautiful and frightening!
Yes, Birthday Moppet, you must attend the KING KONG screening and give us the lowdown and upside of the flick.
I think it opens December 14, MB.
-
Why is everyone just sitting there like so much fish?
I have a cake in my fridge - not sure when I'll dive into it, but it IS my beloved Parisienne Cake, albeit the all chocolate variety rather than the yellow cake variety.
-
Bruce,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A VERY SPECIAL PERSON![/size]
HAVE A GREAT DAY![/size]
I don’t think I’m pathetic for buying my own birthday cake so you couldn’t be for doing the same thing. I guess technically I didn’t buy mine, only ordered it and maneuvered it so Keith picked it up-clever me.
-
Let us eat CAKE!
-
I just had an old friend call from her kindergarten class - the entire class sang Happy Birthday.
Oh so cute!! :D
-
Birthdays come but once a year
So we send this message clear
Happy Birthday BK Dear
Happy Birthday till next year!
(does anyone else's family sing that addendum to the Birthday Song?)
-
Jennifer I hate when I get a rash from antibiotics.
Hi Elan-nice to see you.
-
I didn't buy the cake - it was on my doorstep this morning, a gift.
I think I shall go buy a DVD or a CD or something. Then perhaps I shall watch a DVD or something.
-
I don't suppose there's a surprise party happening. But, if there is, don't tell me.
-
Love my birthday wishes.
-
Ah, yes...SELF-diagnosis. Makes the doctor's job so much easier!
Of course, if you slip into a coma, you won't be able to tell him what the problem is!
LOL, I do it all the time. Most the time I'm right, and sometimes the doctor's think they are right and I'm wrong, but it turns out to be the opposite.
-
Some of my favorite Irving Berlin songs are on this little known CD called "Unsung Irving Berling." I wonder who came up with that idea?? ;)
- It's A Lovely Day For A Walk - Liz Callaway & Harry Groener And Chorus
- You're A Sucker For A Dame - Guy Haines
- Nothing More To Say - Liz Callaway (really, anything sung by Liz ;D)
- Take Me With You, Soldier Boy - Shauna Hicks
- Roses Of Yesterday - Glory Crampton
- If You Haven't Got An Ear For Music - Liz Larsen
- I Don't Wanna Be Married, I Just Wanna Be Friends - Klea Blackhurst & Guy Haines
- You're A Sentimental Guy - Laurie Beechman
- Wait Until You're Married - Liz Larsen & Sal Viviano
-
Bruce I hadn’t read your post about the cake yet, I was referring to your comments in this mornings column. That is so sweet someone left a cake on your doorstep and a fun surprise.
-
Speaking of cake….. Last night I ate half of my dessert from dinner. It was delicious, very different from any gingerbread I have had before and topped with whip cream blended with strawberries, like a strawberry shortcake, only with gingercake.
-
A Cake on My Doorstep.
That is the title of a lost Irving Berlin song.
-
I don't know about cake, but...
Science is my pie
Curiosity is my sweet tooth
Knowledge is my candy
—from the pen of the Birthday Boy
-
Sounds extra delicious, DR JANE!!

Benjamin stood there for awhile, then walked over to the gate where Susan and he always met after school. He looked across the schoolyard, which was now totally empty and silent. He turned around and walked out the date, leaving behind Crescent Heights Elementary School and a part of his life forever.

The Grammy Award® nominations were announced! In an article on Playbill.com (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/96701.html):
Of interest to theatre lovers is the Best Musical Show Album category. This year's nominees include the original cast recordings of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Light in the Piazza, Monty Python's Spamalot and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee as well as the all-star Actors' Fund of America benefit concert cast recording of Hair.

Bruce in honor of your birthday I’m resting today, semi-resting. While I haven’t walked and don’t plan to do errands I’m get work done around the house.
-
I often rest in honor of nothing in particular. Maybe in honor of rest itself.
Though when I rest I don't get work done around the house.
-
Happy Happy Birthday to our very own BK!! If I lived in your town I'd have baked you a cake!
-
This morning I went for a walk, and since my camera is in the repair shop, I can't show the photo of the bittern I didn't take this morning.
-

LOL-complete rest was the plan but there is SO much to do around here, beginning with the laundry.

JRand the cake was delicious and so much better than the Cold-eeze I’m dissolving in my mouth right now. The package says these zinc lozenges have been proven to reduce the severity of cold symptoms by 42% and the duration by 3-4 days. My cold isn’t bad, not that it’s pleasant, so maybe the first part is true.
-
Picked up two Corman classic Special Edition DVDs - Big Bad Mama and Death Race 2000 of Paul Bartel.
I do believe that would be our very own Dino at the piano. Be sure to get a signed photograph.
-
BK, have you picked up the new DVDs of KING KONG ESCAPES and KING KONG VS GODZILLA?

What do you want to bet that SPAMALOT wins the Best Show Album Grammy?
-
I enjoyed last night's LAW & ORDER very much. As usual, what the crime seemed to be (desecration of a religious book) was not what the trial(s) actually ended up being about. Love the twists and turns of the plot as more information is revealed.
-
CSI: NY last night was a rerun I hadn't seen, but one of the stories (there were three) was instrumental in setting up why one member of the team got fired earlier this year. I hadn't seen this episode, so when that person got fired (a week I did watch the show), the backstory was spotty. Now I understand the wrongdoer's motivation and why the firing took place.
-
What do you want to bet that SPAMALOT wins the Best Show Album Grammy?
Hey, if the "cast album" to Riverdance can beat out Rent for the Grammy, there's no telling who will win. :-\
-
I was very, very upset yesterday by the really bad sound mastering on "Toot, Whistle, Plunk, and Boom" in that Disney tin, so when I got in from lunch today, I put the disc in my bedroom setup (I have a small surround sound setup in there even though I rarely watch movies in the bedroom.)
The short played just fine using that DVD player, a different receiver and different speakers. So, I took the disc back into the den and played it again. Much to my surprise, the sound which still is very (too) directional and with the speaker's voice alternating stupidly between the three front channels was much better and not a victim of the fading and bad imaging I heard yesterday.
The only thing I can think is that the disc was not sitting properly in the tray yesterday and maybe this is what was causing a less than prstine picture and lousy sound. It looked better today as well as sounding better.
So, my apologies to the Disney company for maligning the disc yesterday.
-
Hey, if the "cast album" to Riverdance can beat out Rent for the Grammy, there's no telling who will win. :-\
That's just one of the many stupid choices that have been made in this category. I'm going strctly by the "cool" and well known factor. Since I doubt the voters will listen to ANY of the five nominees, they'll vote on the one that's the best known and most popular at the moment.

I bought my calendar at the Dollar General Store.

Well, the snow has started here and evening events are being cancelled right and left. Fortunately, because I had a "working lunch" today, I get to leave at 5pm instead of my usual 6pm. DH Richard just sent me an email, outlining the driveway logistics for when I arrive home. Praying for a snow day tomorrow!

“They’d found him. The bad men. Somehow, on a blazingly bright spring day in 1958, they’d found ten-year-old Benjamin Kritzer. How?”
-
“That was a strikeout in the resemblance department, and it only strengthened Benjamin’s conviction that he was not the actual child of these actual people.
-
“He’d arisen early, borrowed his former girlfriend’s sister’s Tempest Le Mans convertible, and done the drive up to Atascadero for his date…….”
-
I was hoping that you'd get to that last quote, Jane. :-)
Now, we need a jrand quote from Kritzer Time to complete the trilogy.

Benjamin loved doing the show at night, staying out late and then sleeping in. He still sat at the piano every day and played songs. It was time to write something new, he thought, as he had played "I'm in Like With You" and "I See Rainbows" to death. But, he supposed, inspiration would strike when inspiration would strike.

Did anyone mention that today is the 25th anniversary of the killing of John Lennon? It's been all over the local news. I still remember it quite well, except for the season. I had thought it was in the spring. The cabaret group "Just Good Friends" for whom I was arranging had recently added "Here There and Everywhere" to their act and the boys went to a memorial event at the dakota and sang it.
-
I was hoping that you'd get to that last quote, Jane. :-)

I had forgotten the date as well, DRELMORE, but did see some of the tributes and gatherings on the various news services.
Sometimes it seems like a LONG time ago, and sometimes it seems like yesterday.

Off for a bit.

“….and suddenly everything he thought he knew about the world shattered into little bits.”
“He couldn’t breathe; he felt like he had been punched in the throat. He had to get outside, he had to walk, he had to think”

I shall now be on my way to join Mr. Nick Redman for an early dinner. Depending on when that ends, I'll either return briefly or head directly to rehearsal. Either way, keep the home fries burning until my returning, you dear, dear people out there in the dark.
I'll say it again - what fun to see the Kritzer quotes!
-
“Outside, the Helms truck sounded its whistle and Benjamin scurried outside to get himself a chocolate donut.”
-
Woo Hoo! Dancing Water!
-
JRand, what's that white stuff in your house photo?

Good, and sad, news from Romania. Craig was allowed back into the country. We weren’t sure since his Visa has expired (the reason he left for two nights to have his passport re-stamped). Even better news Yogi is much improved. Thanks for those vibes. Craig and Ioana went to the vet and took him for a walk. He was very happy and could have returned home with them except Ioana’s Godmother just passed away and Ioana has to return home. Craig will follow the next morning, arriving in time for the funeral. It will be best to keep Yogi in the care of the vet while he continues to recover.

The bad news is that my usual 40-minute commute took 2 hours and 20 minutes tonight
The good news is that I arrived unscathed and DH Richard had a lovely fried chicken dinner waiting for me.
-
For those who remember.
Derek's Bears (Ted and Villiam) have been having fun with Valter, BJ & Jackson.
-
The bears all look very happy :)
-
Ginny you must be tired and relieved to be home. I'm glad you made it safely.
-
Back from a very nice meal with Nick Redman - Chinese Chicken Salad and they came to the table with cake for birthday dessert - chocolate cookie dough with ice cream, a great dessert.
-
Surprise!
Happy, Happy, Happy (that’s 3 Happys) Birthday to our own very Dear BK on the occasion of his 58th Birthday!
Here is some cake:

And here are fireworks just for you!

And my quote from “Kritzer Time”:
“He was lucky to be alive. Everyone had told him so—“
And we are lucky as well. If it wasn’t for BK we wouldn’t have this wonderful board and the friendships that span the globe.
While I wish you every good wish and every success for every show, book and song you write, BK, I think your biggest and brightest achievement is bringing this group of people together.
Now, where are those ham chunks? And who is going to teach me to dance the horta? Let's get this Par-tay rolling! ;) :D

What does one call more then one bear? A group? A gang? A herd?

If I believed that there really was white stuff called "snow" on the ground, I would tell everyone to drive safe and don't slide in the stuff. But since I don't believe it since I've never seen it for myself, I have to still say to be careful on the roads, whatever that white stuff is.

Good, and sad, news from Romania. Craig was allowed back into the country. We weren’t sure since his Visa has expired (the reason he left for two nights to have his passport re-stamped). Even better news Yogi is much improved. Thanks for those vibes. Craig and Ioana went to the vet and took him for a walk. He was very happy and could have returned home with them except Ioana’s Godmother just passed away and Ioana has to return home. Craig will follow the next morning, arriving in time for the funeral. It will be best to keep Yogi in the care of the vet while he continues to recover.
I'm sorry to hear about Ioana's Grandmother, DR Jane. Please pass along my condolances.
I am glad to hear that Yogi is doing much better.
-
Good to see you DR Danise.
I do believe the collective noun is "Huggle".
-
What does one call more then one bear? A group? A gang? A herd?
A family. :)
-
Thank you, DR Tom. I can't stay long since it's almost 9:30 but I am glad to be back amoung you all!
-
A family. :)
Works for me! :)

Dang, it was chilly at work today.
The register I was working was pretty close to the doors, which are automatic. No matter that we have an anteroom, because both sets of doors were open at the same time surprisingly often.
BRRRRRRR!
-
Der Brucer wants his din-din. Time to go.
-
I would have posted earlier, but, believe it or not, I've been working on writing a paper. It's due tomorrow, so it seemed like a good idea to start on it some time today.
Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BK!!!! May your day be filled with Cherry Coke.
-
Din-Din?? It's more like hit the hay time for me!
Laters all!
-
Joyeux Anniversaire wishes to our favourite director, producer, writer, composer, singer etc -- is there anything this man can't do, and do well?! -- in 2 letters BK!!
-

LOL. At least living in Sunny LA the snow was a relatively short drive away. Sometimes we would go on a day outing. We never had the proper clothes though and I would always get sick.
-

From what I've read, Kate Moss does NOT call it snow and won't allow it to reach the ground!! ;) ;D

Thank Heaven they're not rabbits, Tom! By now, your place would be much too small to hold them all! ;)

Happy belated Birthday wishes from me to Jane!
Hope you could have your cake and eat it too, DR Jane!
-
[size=10]I said it last night, but I'll say it again......HAPPY BIRTHDAY BK!!!!!!!!![/size]
Ok, ok! But you don't need to yell!!! :D ;D
-
The bears all look very happy :)
They ALWAYS look that way, dear friend, no matter what! :D
-
Teddy Bear Dance, anyone?
-
Thanks Danise.
-
'night.

Teddy Bear Dance, anyone?
Okay! ;D

I think someone should write a song about that! :)

Okay! ;D

Neat, but he's more Fred Asbear than Fred Astaire! :D
Too much honey!

It's time for me to leave work. I'm off to my sister's before I go home. Later!
-
This morning I went for a walk, and since my camera is in the repair shop, I can't show the photo of the bittern I didn't take this morning.
Lovely pic, Laura, as always! ;D
-

Good for you! I still have 4 more hours, and it's 4:15 am right now!
-- as if you all need to know all of that!! ;)
-
For the fans: Mr Michael Bublé has a new cd-dvd combined out!
Is it any good? I don't know! I haven't bought it! Ah!
-
'night.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "'night!"???
That's no way to party!! :o
Where's the bar? I need another Mickey Mouse on the rocks!
-
Has Ann caught up?
The "eternal" HHW question! LOL!
-
NO! Ann has just... vanished! Poof!
-
The Lady Vanishes... I guess!
-
I am no lady, oh no, but I shall vanish too... for the moment!
-
Happy Birthday Bruce!!
-
I feel like I've been celebrating BK's birthday all day.
We had a special dinner from Pietrasanta in BK's honor, and topped it off with some Peppermint Bark chocolate from Ghirardeli, also in BK's honor.
Skip says I've just been overeating as usual, but I've been calling the nonstop picnic a tribute to BK's birthday.
-
The bears remind me of the great Hairy Secombe in PICKNICK, the musical version of THE PICKNICK CAPERS.
-
That "winter mix" finally got here, but it feels just like a very cold rain to me. However, because it's so cold and still dripping rain, the roads will be like glass (an ALL ABOUT EVE reference) tomorrow.
-
Yes, DRLAURA - it is called snowed. It finally stopped about 9:30 pm, but now the wind is blowing steadily. As you can see, I am sort of getting the knack of my camera. I am hoping some cardinals stop by the bird feeder tomorrow so I can try out the zoom lens. We shall see.
-
JOEY had a particularly pathetic episode tonight in which ever the dim-bulb Joey overhears two druggie stagehands using the euphamism "chocolate milk" for marihuana, but naturally he REALLY means chocolate milk and starts overdosing on it. Naturally, all his family and friends think he's overdosing on grass.
And this is supposed to be funny!
No wonder they're giving this show a nice long vacation.
-
I had the Mozzarella Fritta and Penne Gorgonzola - both of which can be sung to the tune of Fascinatin' Rhythm.
Mozzarella fritta, you've got me on the go
Penne gorgonzola, I'm all aquiver
If I can find a lyric to point out that Pietrasanta does now deliver (which rhymes with aquiver), maybe I'll send it in as a proposed radio ad for the restaurant.
Or maybe not.
-
WILL & GRACE was below par, too, though I'll admit Jack's shenanigans with Will's "QIT" nephew made me laugh a couple of times.
And now Steven Weber (dark brown hair) is playing Will's brother who was formerly played by John Slattery (gray hair). Don't these people think we remember who played whom?
-
Watching KING KONG on DVD. It looks and sounds pretty good.
I like this movie a lot - especially from the moment Anne gets kidnapped all the way to the end.
But I have never been able to tell what part of Kong we are seeing when he is lying on the ground at the end. Sometimes I have thought it was his head, with his ear and an eye....other times I think I see a chest wound.
Maybe it will be clear for me on the DVD.
-
CSI had an unusual episode concerning a child seemingly abducted from a playground. But the case turned out to be a lot more complicated than that.
And George Eads, who was sporting a rather handsome mustache for the previous two episodes, is now clean shaven once again.
-
No DR MATTH - I think they give us very little credit for much of anything as an audience.
DR TOMovOZ thanks for sharing the picture of the PRIDE of bears. They look a bit forlorn (as is to be expected) but anticipating a fine life in a new home.
-
WITHOUT A TRACE had a very melancholy episode concerning an amnesiac and the squad's attempts to track down her identity.
The episode also featured another appearance by Martin Landau masterfully playing Anthony LaPaglia's father now on the verge of total Alzheimer's. Very touching episode.
-
The bears remind me of the great Hairy Secombe in PICKNICK, the musical version of THE PICKNICK CAPERS.
Love it.
If Bears Ruled The world.

Some schools are closed tomorrow, but most are on a two hour delay.
I have a feeling it depends upon how much snow this wind blows around. The wind is whistling through the trees loudly.
-
I also got in the first episode from Season 2 of MURDER SHE WROTE. This episode introdyced Len Cariou as MI-5 agent Michael Haggerty.
You have to give Angela credit. She made sure her friends got plenty of guest shots on her series during its twelve year run.
-
DR Matt -
If Richard Deacon could replace Roger C. Carmel in MOTHERS-IN-LAW
If Donna Reed could replace Barbara Bel Geddes in DALLAS
If Dick Sargent could replace Dick York in BEWITCHED
Etc.
Maybe they think they're safe playing fast and loose with guest stars.

Why, may I ask, do you still watch it if it's so consistantly unfunny?

Page 8 Lucy Dance (the Dance of the Phipps Foam Mattress)!!!
One of my all-time favorite episodes.

Yep, it's been done in movies, too, with James Bond, for example.
But we DO notice.
-

Because not every episode is as lousy as this one. A few of the episodes have made me laugh, and part of it has to do with my leftover devotion to FRIENDS.
-
The saddest, strangest replacement (and perhaps the most tasteless) was when actress Barbara Colby was murdered during the first season of PHYLLIS and they decided to continue with the character. I thought the series just had bad karma after that decision.
-
Got a very nice gift in the mail from JRand55! Thanks Jack!!!
Some wonderful music and some good luck items, which are always good!!!
You must tell me more about that stone!

And Judith Lowry playing Mother Dexter also died which took a lot of the sarcastic humor out of the show, too.
-
Love it.
If Bears Ruled The world.
Oh, NO... don't say! Some sheperds down south of France just can't stand them because of their killing the sheep! Them and the wolves!
You see, Nature and business don't always mix!
If bears rulled the world then it'd be unbearable! ;) :(
-
I'm resisting the temptation to work my way up to post #900 with awful bear puns.
I'd do it, but I think there's a Bear Clause in the subscriber agreement.
-
When I left work tonight (at about 7:15 p.m.), I had to scrape frozen condsation from my car! It was very cold and I wasn't prepared with a heavy enough coat! :o
-
I thought that we were done with cold weather in Olympia. :P
-
I have indeed caught up. Got distracted for a bit, but I finally made it to the end.
Of course, the happiest of birthdays to dear BK. I hope you had plenty of happiness and cake.
Was it vixmom who was talking about Walking In The Air a few weeks ago? I'm singing it in a concert this weekend, and I can tell her how to get the music if she wants. That is, if it's the same song...
-
Heading downstairs now for bed.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the evening and that bad weather doesn't make things too desperate for those who have to get out in it tomorrow.
Good night!

BK, for your birthday I think you ought to treat yourself to this photo up for auction on Ebay! If you don't already have it!

So glad the package arrived. Yes, you must use your talisman!
Pyrite has superb confidence-building and luck attracting qualities. Carry it with you, or keep it in your car.
-
Ah yes....the Mr and Mrs TV Show! LOL.....food always tastes different when it comes from there - I don't know what they do to it!
-
DR GEORGE how could you be DONE with cold weather in December?
-
Hope you like the music DR MBARNUM - there are some surprises on there for you!
I owe DRs TOMovOZ and RODZINSKI a cd.....so they will be on their way after the first of the year!
-
Time for to go to bed.
-
DR GEORGE how could you be DONE with cold weather in December?
We had snow last week. Once the south Puget Sound gets snow, that's usually it for the season...at least, that's the way I remember it...and want it to be. :)
-
BK, do you eat strange birthday cakes mysteriously appearing on your front stoop?
-
Back from a very good rehearsal. Adjusted some blocking from last night, and got to the crucial point of act one - only about ten minutes more of the act to go, but it's very complex. We did the entire beginning of the complex part and I think it's coming out very well, although I'm sure I'll be finessing it a lot.
Tammy and her mum had a birthday cake as a surprise - we all ate of it at our break.
-
And again, thank you all for your lovelier than lovely birthday wishes - for many reasons, reading them all day and night has made this a very special birthday indeed.
-
Good Evening!
Well... I should be in bed by now... I didn't leave the theatre until 11:00 tonight, and I was already pretty brain dead by the end of the IDR earlier tonight - which went extremely well! - and I was very tired and ready for bed once I got home....But once I looked outside and saw the snow... Well... I feel like a kid again, waiting and hoping for a snow day.
*And the snow really is coming down at quite a clip right now. I swear, the road outside was covered with a good dusting in just the span of about 10 minutes or so. Big ole flakes. The current forecast is for anywhere between 4-8 inches - with sleet and freezing rain thrown into the mix too. Needless to say, it's going to be a messy rush hour. At least I don't have to be at theatre until Noon.
-
And, yes, the final dress rehearsal went very well. -And, actually, it was basically our only full dress rehearsal - lights, costumes, sounds, orchestra, etc. According to my stopwatch in the pit, the show ran just about 2 hours and 20 minutes - and that was with the intermission! The last two big shows at Arena - South Pacific and Camelot - ran close to three hours. It will be nice to be able to be home by 11:00. :)
This weekend will be the killer. We have another tech rehearsal tomorrow/today from 12-5, and then our first preview (paying audience) tomorrow night at 8:00. And then we have the same schedule on Saturday. And then two shows on Sunday. Whew!
-I was thinking of heading back up to NYC on Monday, but I have a feeling I'm not going to have the energy to do so. And I also have to be back by 11:00 on Tuesday, so... -Yes, the "joys" of previews. So, I think I'm going to head down to Richmond this Monday, and then to NYC next Monday, the 19th. -That's the plan for now.
-
...And my parents made it back safe and sound from the Philippines earlier today. And, as usual, they brought tons of Filipino "treats" - polvoron (in different flavors), various candies, "milk" candies, the fried corn kernels with garlic, etc. In other words, foodstuffs I would really like to dig into, but which I'm resisting right now. I may treat myself to one of the polvoron sometime this weekend - who knew that rice flour, sugar, cashews and shortening could taste so good?!!?
;)
-
Well... Time for me to turn in...
Once again, Happy Birthday, BK!
Goodnight.
-
-And it was nice seeing DRs Elan and Kerry popping out of proverbial woodwork today. Hope you guys pop out more often.
-
-And good to see DR Francois again too!
-
OH!
And DR FJL - Is the penne gorgonzola as "stinky" as the gorgonzola pizza?
...Now I want some of their gnocchi... And the white bean spread from Pietrasanta too!
*Do you go to their sister restaurant, Rachel's, too? I usually end up sitting next to Donna Murphy and her husband whenever I eat there. -And I have yet to try their seafood place, Sag Harbor (Is that the name?). And then there's their coffee place, The Coffee Pot.
-
Well, at least I got up to Page 9!
;)
And, once again...
Goodnight.
