Since LESTAT is still in previews, DR DANISE, there will be no official news.
DR DANISE I just got an email from Randi Orr with the subject line Cease Snowball in legato.
Must have been because of your dream. :)
How many hours can your DVR records, DRMBARNUM? Sounds like you have quite a selection there - and as you say finding time to watch it is something else. Can you make DVD's or VHS tapes from the machine?
And you know what is really neat about this? (Well, for me anyway.) I can honestly say I have been to the Palace theater. I saw Aida there. :)
DR Danise - in 1980 DH Elmore and I saw Oklahoma! at the Palace. He had just moved to NYC the previous year and I was there for the American Library Association annual conference.
Thanks to DRs Danise and JRand for the vibes for DH Richard. He's staying busy today with church in Cincinnati and shape-note singing in Dayton. Keeps his mind off what he'll be going through tonight...
TOD - shortly after the beginning of the 1st Gulf War, I dreamed Richard had re-enlisted in the Army and was standing at the kitchen sink in his fatigues and combat boots. Chilling for the mother of a (then) preschooler. Speaking of the preschooler, I had a vivid dream while pregnant with him that's just too gruesome to share here. Suffice to say that liver and onions has not appealed to me since.
Jane, watned to respond to your question a few days ago about how Tewkes reacts to the deer. Most of the time, he so busy with his nose on the ground, sniffing out their spoor, he doesn't notices them half the time when their 20 feet away staring at him. Of course, when he does spy them, he gets excited; variously just staring at them with fixed intensity and whining. When they move he does bark and strain at the leash, wanting to run with. Given his white plume of a tail, he thinks he, too, is a white-tailed buck. Of course, the other day, when 15 crossed our path, he couldn't help but notice them.
I should report that I will be E & T for most of this coming week. I am leaving for Eastern Washington tomorrow, at noon, for a Federal Funding Conference (work related) that is being held on the shores of Lake Chelan. I will return on Thursday evening. I don't own a laptop, and the only available computers will be state property, so I will most likely be incommunicato until then.
Snow must be in the air!
and we only have to contend with rascal coyote.
MattH - Read the notes - there's no reason to hold on to your old discs - these transfers, especially SP, are much, much better. SP is spectacular and everything that Oklahoma should have been.
To wrap up the afternoon, I flipped over to ESPN to see a rebroadcast of the national figure skating championships. I watched them this year but didn't record them, so it was fun seeing our top ladies skating at this stage of the competitive season before they got exhausted by all the pressure and publicity of the Olympics.
The transfers on these new region two R&H musicals, are the same that will be used for region 1 - they were created for region 1 - but for whatever reason, Fox released them in the UK first. I'm watching The King and I now, and it, too, is spectacular, apparently restored directly from the Cinemascope 55 negative.
My favorite college hockey team made it to the frozen final four!!! Go Sioux!!
I almost never remember dreams for very long. I can wake up in the middle of one, but in just a few moments, I have no idea what it was about.
I can remember a couple of fragments of dreams that I had in high school. In one, I was underwater and couldn't breathe, but I told myself to breathe, that it's only a dream! And slowly, in my dream, I started breathing because I knew that it was a dream, even though I was under water. In the only other fragment, I'm naked and talking to my mother! I know that she doesn't know that I'm naked but I get behind a counter to hide a little. Those are really the only dreams that I can remember. :)
Good Evening!
Hello. My name is Jose. And I am a Broadway Pit Musician.

Jose! I was getting ready to send out the Marines to look for you! I was starting to think you got kidnapped or worse on the way home! :)Jose may still like the marines to visit.
Better run. Painting is done, but my brief isn't and since I had an extension until tomorrow morning, I must get it done tonight. I'll be back later
Danise-
I found this website that has some interesting info on your pup's problem.

Tomovoz, did you hear Buck Owens died? I just heard this.
Yes indeed, unheralded George Mason University has made the hallowed ground of the NCAA Final Four. Pretty nice when a school nobody even thought should be in the tournament makes it that far.
Good Evening!

Not sure if this translates!!
I actually tried to snag some Playbills for ya in advance last week, but none made it upstairs from the press!
Feel free to send Magnus & Fosca copy of the Playbill DR Jose. They are so proud.
But then again so are we.
I also remember a Blake 7 question from the other day.
I've heard of it--I know it's a British sci fi show--but I can't remember ever watching it.
Some British shows I remember watching (and enjoying) are Chief !, The Goodies, Some Mother Do Have'em and Red Dwarf .
*I asked for five Playbills - three for me, and one for each of my "roommates" on the seventh floor.
**And I did pick up a few more on the way out after the show too.
:)
No. Didn't know about Mr Owens.
My only Buck Owens recording is his duet with Ringo Starr. (1988)
I've never heard of any of those shows, DR DakotaCelt.
Gee, it's hard to realize this is the last Sunday I can stay up late but not to much later because I have to take my Mom to the doctor in the morning.
Rodzinski... I never saw Debbie Rochan, every time we passed her table (she was selling autographs too) she wasn't there, so I didn't get a chance to drop your name, proabably just as well, the floor was dirty and I wouldn't have liked to see it get mussed
That saved me the embarrassment of her having no memory of me whatsoever! :)
DR vixmom - Wonderful pics of the vixter and her new friends!
*Now did you at least get a picture of Mr. Sorbo with yourself? -And with Mr. Sorbo in his Hercules loincloth?
;D
Those of you who are following the drama in my job may appreciate the column that appeared in our local newspaper this morning. Business columnist Jeffrey L. Seglin is writing about employers who conduct worldwide searches for positions for which they have a strong in-house candidate. He calls the practice "disingenuous," "dishonest," and a waste of everybody's time.
Not to bring things down again, but one of my favorite directors, Mr. Richard Fleischer has died. I like him because he did not insinuate his style on his films in an overt style. This is the very reason he is generally not discussed among great directors, although he has an incredible variety and array of films...
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
The Happy Time
Soylent Green
The Boston Strangler
Doctor Dolittle
Fantastic Voyage
Between Heaven and Hell
Violent Saturday
...the list goes on. The guy had a lengthy career! His last movie to see major release was the Glad-bag sponsored MILLION DOLLAR MYSTERY in the mid 80s.
Thanks for the memories.

Hurrah for Mr. Seglin.....
Are they making you actually interview for your job?! I havn't caught up with the past few days yet!!
As someone who has in the past been up for jobs that eventually went to in-house people, I couldn't agree more.
Yeah, his column went on to relate a story from a woman who thought she had a chance for a job that actually went to the in-house person. But, as the IHP in this case, I can tell you it's no picnic on this side of the fence, either.
By the way, I was at a nonprofit event this past week and 2 executive directors - one of a grantmaking foundation and one of a high-profile nonprofit agency - offered to write letters of support for me.
As for pics... as I mentioned earlier, my digital camera doesn't seem to want to focus anymore, so...
However, I do have many wonderful memories from my first Broadway Preview. I feel blessed - and lucky - to be a part of the whole Lestat enterprise. Again, my dream is coming true.
And I truly feel blessed to have such a fine group of people, a fine group of friends here on HHW. Your words of support, encouragement and congratulations have made this once-in-a-lifetime experience more special than I could have ever imagined.

Hello! Not caught up from all my E & T this week.
Last night we printed out thepicture the Vixter took with George Takei and Cassandra Peterson and we took it to the ICON today.
George Takei was holding an autograph session so he signed it for the Vixter. Later she found the table where Cassandra Peterson was selling her autographs (some of the guests charge for their autographs, most of them don't) The Vixter went up to her with ehr picture and showed it to Cassandra and said I thought you might like to see this. Well cassandra did want to see it, she autographed it for free and gave the Vixter her business card and requested a copy for herself. LOL!
Oh and George Takei told the Vixter he was very pleased he had the opportunity to meet HER!
I was very suprised by him actually. I guess I was expecting a very one dimensional guy with a bunch of back in the day stories. He was very engaging, and interesting. We went to a small panel discussion where the topic was sterotyping in the entertainment industry and we ended up having a lengthy discussion about the three years during WWII that he and his family spent in a Japanese Internment camp in Arkansas.
I was very pleased I went to hear him speak, he gave me a lot to think about.
Today the Vixter met Kevin Sorbo and had her picture taken with him and he autographed her program.
I'm gonna try this again
Vixter and friends
Vixter and Mr. Sorbo
A couple of pictures just for DakotaCelt,
The Brobdinagian Bards an Austin based RenFaire duo who always put on a phenomenol show, very funny and they are great guys. We met them three years ago and kind of adopted them, they have finally turnd fulltime musicians and are traveling doing RenFaires
DR Ginny - Do you think you could forward a copy of that article to your higher-ups anonymously?
;)
I don't know why I am in such a foul mood over the little lie thing, but I am. I think I'll sit in the Jacuzzi for a while and wash it away.
"Garbed up" on Saturday
THank you for sharing... They are wonderful. Fiona Ritchie has had their music on Thistle and Shamrock.
I almost got to hear them but due to Mother nature, me and a good friend were unable to get to the Twin Cities...
Danise - Animals do mourn. I've been doing a lot of research on crows this year for something I was writing. Even crows mourn. They sit for their dead. (Crow shiva?)
I'm reading a really interesting book - "Animals in Translation" by Temple Grandin. The author draws on her own experiences with autism to understand the emotions of animals. Fascinating.
No-o-o-o, I've just been keeping my mouth shut at work and venting only at home and here at HHW.
Do you have any of their CD's? We may be getting together for dinner tomorrow before they fly back to Texas.... Their CD's are all "home produced", they could certainly use the skills of a BK, but they are still quite fun. Nothing beats seeing them inperson
Lovely garb!!
I used to do Ren Faires up in this area as part of Society of Creative Anachronism. (SCA). My person was of Irish and Viking background. I still have some of my garb and my sword. I no longer have most of my fighting gear.
If I can get someone to take a picture of my two costumes that I have I will try and post them. My persona's name was Aedin Ni Mhaillie
Vixmom, have you ever heard of the Ren Fair comedians, Puke and Snot?
We aren't "serious Renners" so we don;t have personas.
They sell the stuff at the Con and I had been looking at it for years but it is always so expensive that I never jumped since to spend several hundred dollars for something that'll get used once or twice a year just was never in the budget. Last year about an hour before closing on Saturday a dealer who was leaving early and not staying for the Sunday show decided to sell stuff off cheap, I got the full length chemise, skirt and stomacher (por whatever you call it) for about $100, often the corset thing alone costs that.
The Vixter is actually wearing a silk/polyester skirt I got at the GoodWill last week for $5 and a peasant blouse I got at another GoodWill last year for $5!
NO. I have never been to a "real" Ren Faire though! Actually they are having a one day one on April 30 at a nother college campus not far from here and the Bards are being brought up for it , so we may attend that one
No, I think it was deliberate, and for no reason, really, as it's nothing that would have bothered me in the least - no biggie and, as I said, really silly, but I get very weirded out when people who are close to me do that.
I do not do it as much as I used but I still have my costumes. It was fun especially when they have coronations and feasts.
The tunics are really easy to make. One costume I just sold that no longer fits me was one that had a lot of embroidery and I sold that for over 125. It had a LOT of hours put into it.
Among the very many areas for which I have no talent is the art of sewing. I can do counted cross stitch but actually cutting and sewing of materials? Clueless that's me.
I'm glad that no one was hurt at the old house, DR Cillaliz. I guess that means no lawsuit!
Nine out of every ten men who have pornographic dreams, claim that they don't rememeber their dreams.

Today was a day of nothing but TV watching...three episodes of the new "Dr. Who,"
Dakota - Do you go to the Minnesota Rennaisiance Festival? I've been there a number of times as well as the one in Arizona, Kansas and now Sioux City has one. I was impressed for a first year. They had jousters and the whole 9 yards. I've considered volunteering this year, but it depends when it is
Yes, the one in Shakopee is huge...
Are you in SCA?
Jose, do you get to visit the downstairs pit during intermission?
I'm pretty sure Skip and I are seeing LESTAT Wednesday night.
SNiff, sniff.... I wish i could see them...
no never feard of it.
During one of the episodes, they announced that the DVDs (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E41MS6/qid=1143440398/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-4779504-7364131?s=dvd&v=glance&n=130) are available for pre-order on Amazon.com and will be released on July 4!
Here's the picture:

Dakota - There's a play that just opened in NYC called SHILOH RULES, which has gotten swell reviews (especially in the NY Times) and which our Dear Neighbor Kate Weiman is in. It's about a group of women who re-enact the Civil War.
I mean Civil War, of course, the Civil Wat is a completely diffreent thing. :);D
That is earlier than I originally heard... Cool Beans!!
Good Morning!
Well, folks... This still newish Broadway Baby is getting a bit sleepy... So...
Goodnight.
George, who is your favorite Doctor on Doctor Who?
Good Morning!
Well, folks... This still newish Broadway Baby is getting a bit sleepy... So...
Goodnight.
Or, if you have a region-code-free DVD player, you could get all 13 episodes of the complete first series boxset (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0009AK57Y/qid=1143442885/sr=2-3/ref=sr_2_11_3/203-6393373-3337501) from England!
(http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0009AK57Y.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg)
In England, they've actually started Series 2 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000ESSTB0/qid=1143442885/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_11_1/203-6393373-3337501), but they've gotten a whole new doctor! Billie Piper is still around as Rose, but David Tennent will now play the Doctor:
(http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B000ESSTB0.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg)
Honestly? Actually, I've never seen ANY episodes before this new version started. I don't know if I'll have the interest to go back and check out any of the previous versions, but I'll certainly continue with this. :)
Bummer on Eccleston no longer being the Doctor...
Have you seen Tennant as the Doctor?
No...and probably won't until the SciFi Channel broadcasts his episodes. :-\
I hear the Cybermen are supposed to make a return.... ( GRRRRR!!! )
I assume that this is a bad thing??
I knew that there was a lot of history to the show...I just never thought about how much there was.
Too much history for me to explore...I'll just jump on now. ;)
