I know the results, but my lips are sealed!

In my best librarian voice: Sssshhhh

I haven't even watched the tape of STOP THE WORLD that I bought. I saw the film many moons ago (a ONCE UPON A MATTRESS reference), and not since.

That might be something to watch this weekend in addition to everything else I've gotten recently.

Well, time to head down now for cleaning chores and TV. A full night tonight.

Of course, it goes without saying

I'm very curious about MattH's alleged demise....was there an obituary or something that alerted the power company to the possibility?

I also know the results of the ladies' free skate.

But I'm not telling.

No, I'm not.

I'm really very excited about watching "Weekend in Havana" now.

I bought it instead of "Pin-Up Girl", which I will probably get when it's on sale at deepdiscountdvd!

I bought most of the Gable movies on VHS when Fox issued them back in the late 1980s-early 1990s...and I wasn't too fond of most.

"The Dolly Sisters", "Down Argentine Way" and "Springtime in the Rockies" were my faves. I don't believe I've ever seen "Mother Wore Tights" or "My Blue Heaven".

I can watch Alice Faye in ANYTHING, however.

I recall seeing "Tin Pan Alley" with both Faye and Grable on TV back in the mid-1960s...and would love to have a pristine DVD copy of THAT epic musical extravaganza.

Hiya, Jane. Thanks for the Danise report. Let her know we all wish her HOME ASAP!!! The hospital is no place for someone under the weather...

Okay, so yesterday I was just so fed up! I NEED work! I NEED something to do, drat it! So I scoured the Actors Equity casting page, and found something only a four-hour round trip away for today - MENOPAUSE, THE MUSICAL. They want to see ONLY women 35-55, size 10 and up. So, of course I phoned for an appointment for today at 12:40.

I hopped in the ol' Honda and raced to the library for a book of songs from the 50's, and selected Only You. Once home, I sang through it twice, until my voice failed. Oy, this cough... Then I ransacked my limited wardrobe for layers of clothes I could put on to Beef Up. (Producers hate it when they specify "Asians, only" or "minimum height 5'8" - and they have to sit through umpteen auditions with people who obviously aren't what they are looking for...).

My sister came home and found me wearing three gathered skirts, a cable knit sweater under a large overblouse, and one of her bras, stuffed with all my sweat socks... "What is this, Halloween??" I explained my dilemma, and she spent the next hour helping me create an outfit that was a little more - ummmm... fashionable. With accessories.

So this morning I woke, knowing that if I were called for a callback and it came out that I am really a size 2, those folks would hate me, and NEVER hire me for ANYTHING, even if I were right for it... I guess I'm not making the four-hour round trip today - but at least I was able to entertain myself a little yesterday. Actors are SO demented...

PennyO, is that the Las Vegas cast of MENOPAUSE? They just opened there on Feb 1.

My eMac is now running quite nicely, and I just deleted and moved 1100 pieces of email from my inbox! Oy.

DR Jane, Nursie dear, I would love Danise's phone number.

Who would have thought that you had that much male in your inbox!

I wonder if he knows who they were all from.

I was once getting 700-800 e-mails a day...all SPAM...had to change my e-mail address.

Off to dinner....and then to watch THE Olympics as opposed to the olympics!

Actually, I can see the Olympics from my bedroom window.

Danise enjoyed her Turkey dinner and ordered pancakes for breakfast.

Each time I call she sounds better than the last time, in fact I don’t think she can sound better.

Danise says thank you all for the good vibes, they seem to have worked.

I’ll call her in the morning, you east coasters feel free to call before I get up, and find out if she is going home. The doctor will decide tomorrow.

Keith isn’t feeling well at all. I hope it isn’t the flu.

Danise received two visitors today, a few phone calls, one bouquet of flowers at the hospital and one arrangement at home.

Jane · « **Reply #166 on:** February 23, 2006, 05:44:54 PM »

Thank you. He rarely gets sick.

Oh, DR JRand, you're too kind!

I also had a phone call from a woman who wanted to know if I would fill out her IRS Form 1023, which is the application for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. That's equivalent to the undergraduates who used to wonder if I'd write their term papers for them

It's stories like that that make ever so grateful that I don't work with the public

but be assured that I have the utmost respect for those that do!

Jane · « **Reply #168 on:** February 23, 2006, 05:56:59 PM »

At least Keith hadn't eaten before he got sick.

I shall now be on my way to the theater for tonight's performance. Pray for Rosemary's Baby.

Also, Disney called today (after I'd invoiced) and said they did indeed screwup, so we have to now go back into the editing room and change all the end pages and slates, remove one shot (some last-minute new guy saw it and wanted one one second shot taken out), then redo three VO tags and then layback the sound onto the new versions. This thing starts airing a week from Monday. The soonest they could get me in the editing room was Tuesday afternoon and I still haven't heard about the audio session, which I hope will be on Wednesday morning so I can FINISH this job and re-invoice them and get PAID. Unbelievable. Still, I get two more half-days out of it, so that's a plus.

Have fun at the show! Remember - open in Hollywood, head east to Indianapolis....then straight to Broadway....always eastward, always eastward.

Isn't Charlotte Greenwood in WEEKEND IN HAVANA? Or am I thinking about another movie....and it's got some horseracing or something in it?

I also know the results of the ladies long program. I will NOT say, NO I will not say.....however I will only say that the entire evening should be called Asses On Ice!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #174 on:** February 23, 2006, 06:12:30 PM »

I liked the program to FEVER.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #175 on:** February 23, 2006, 06:12:58 PM »

What music would other DR's use for their long programs in the Olympic Ice Skating competition?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #176 on:** February 23, 2006, 06:13:27 PM »

I think I would use "Dance at the Gym" from West Side Story - the movie soundtrack.
