Yes, it was Susan Gallin - I'd worked with her on the Cowgirls recording.

Now - April Fool's Day is over and it's about to be April Bitch-Slap Day if we don't get some postin' goin' on.

Don't have too much to say today. It's gray and cloudy. It's rained a little but not much. Just a blah day

Congrats on DECEIT, BK. Glad it ended on a high note.

I'm back from a gathering of the clans! My friend trumpeter John Wallace is in for Tartan Week, and I met him at the Thom Bar at the hotel 60 Thompson, where a party was going on for the event. I got to meet Tom Conti (NORMAN CONQUESTS, WHOSE LIFE IS IT ANYWAY?) who was charming, his lovely wife, a lot of folk from the Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, and I got to gossip a bit with John, who has given up trumpet for being Principal of the Academy.

Now it's almost time for THE SOPRANOS!

I'm posting because I don't want to be slapped, but I don't really have anything to say.

Every once in awhile, my laptop computer goes through a phase in which it can hook up to the wireless Internet whozamacallit, so I am right now on my futon, most of whose space is being taken up by a furry brown sleeping lump.

Hi all! Just poping in real quick before I hit the sack.

Don't worry if you don't hear from in for a couple of days. I'm sure I'm going to be pretty tired until I get back in the swing of things.

I had a very busy day doing laundry and trying to get everything in order to go back tomorrow.

The stupid bus changed the pick up times. I have to be down at the bus stop 15 minutes earlier. It's a good thing I checked or I would have missed the bus.

Now I have to be out of bed by 5:30. Sigh. Grump. $:-\$

In the meantime, I hope everyone that needs vibes, have them and that everyone has a wonderful week!

Okay, I'm officially pathetic old Jew material. I just attempted to jog for the first time since moving into this house almost a year-and-a-half ago. I got about five blocks and had to stop because I thought I was going to die right then and there. Then I walked three blocks, wheezing and coughing - then I got annoyed and I started jogging again - this time I managed to go a half-mile before having to stop, so I felt better. I can only imagine what I must have looked like. Tomorrow, I shall try again, as I am now completely and methodically on track to be the first to lose ten pounds. And after that ten will come another ten, and then another, and then I shall be happy and I shall be lithe and trim with abs and buns of steel and people will wolf-whistle whilst I'm walking down the street. So it is written, so it shall be done.

Had a busy few days.
Saw Faith Prince do her nightclub act. It is brand new and very good. Alex Rybeck was the musical director and his usual wonderful and spent sometime chatting with him after the show.

Chatted some with Faith. BK she sends her love.

Saw Ice Age 2 and Adam and Steve. Enjoyed both very much. Although there is a scene early in the film of Adam and Steve was a little too much with the bodily function. It was also nice to see two out gay actors play gay characters. Malcom Gets was one of them and early on he is in the buff. (For those that go to see movies for that reason)

I'm reminded for some reason that the first time I heard the lyric "uncommonly rare, very unique, peripatetic, poetic and chic," I thought they were singing "uncommonly rare, very unique, kinda pathetic, poetic and chic."

Sorry I have been E&T today, not feeling the greatest and not very sociable.

Good show vibes to DR Jose....

I am very glad to hear that Deceit ended on and up note....I hope it has a long history of being performed in other venues

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #101 on:** April 02, 2006, 06:46:16 PM »

I am hoping my order arrives soon in his hands... It takes awhile for anything going fron ND to the west... Very odd.. I know..

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #102 on:** April 02, 2006, 06:55:34 PM »

BK, visit out here you can walk through the development around the lake and dodge deer. We'll get them ten pounds of you.

Hi all, not much to say. I enjoyed The Next Food TV Star (or whatever it's called) I've watched a couple times now. I already have a favorite and a least favorite. Is anyone else watching?

Cillaliz · « **Reply #104 on:** April 02, 2006, 07:17:54 PM »

So is the lose 10 pound contest officially on? When do we start...or have we already started?

bk · « **Reply #105 on:** April 02, 2006, 07:19:12 PM »

I really would like to take a brief trip in the next few weeks - I've been going non-stop since early December.

Well, there's nothing like New York City at Passover time.

FJL · « **Reply #107 on:** April 02, 2006, 07:39:14 PM »

Does water weight count on the 10-pound-loss contest? At my weight, I could drop ten pounds by doing 1000 calories for three days. Does it have to be kept off, though, because I could gain it back with two days of resuming eating as usual.

Just caught up to the past couple of days. I spent all day yetserday, from the time we got up until I went to bed, well let's face it, I never actualy went to bed, I fell asleep on the couch... house cleaning. Somehow the house doesn't seem any cleaner or less cluttered although I threw away huge bags of garbage, dusted, vaccumed and washed windows...

vixmom · « **Reply #109 on:** April 02, 2006, 07:41:18 PM »

While cleaning I had the BBC/ Colin Firth version of Pride & Prejudice on the DVD... I enjoyed it very much and must play it again when I can actually sit and give it proper attention

bk · « **Reply #110 on:** April 02, 2006, 07:45:21 PM »

Still on page four, eh? Well, new all-time low coming up thanks to the WUSSBURGERS and the errant and truant. Oh, well.

Today after church and Sunday School we hurried out to my brother's hose to celebrate the birthday of his eldest daughter who turned 14 today.

He also announced he had just accepted a new job which means he and my SIL and their three daughters will be moving to Columbus Ohio or one of the immediate suburbs thereof.....

It is an excellent opportunity for him and of course we are all pleased and proud.... we are also of course all very sad as we know that we will see very little of the girls growing up. Right now my parents attend weekend soccer games, basketball games, dance recitials, school plays etc etc not to mentionall the birthday parties and holidays and summer barbeques that we will nolonger be together.

The Vixter is quite beside herself with grief as these cousins are the closest thing she has to a sibling. her only other cousins live in Northwest Canada and they are already grown....

So it has been a rather bittersweet day. My 7 year old niece (the youngest) obliged me with extra hugs abd cuddles, and dragged me up to her room to play American Girl dolls with her, just the two of us for a half hour.

vixmom · « **Reply #112 on:** April 02, 2006, 07:51:02 PM »

I suppose I could have broken the above into several posts to help the count....

BK when will your book of short stories come out? Will you be coming to NY for a book reading then?

Matt H. · « **Reply #114 on:** April 02, 2006, 08:05:07 PM »

I got sucked into watching HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN on HBO-HD. Only saw the last 90 minutes getting into it late. Nice to see all that detail in higher resolution.

With high def DVDs on the way in the next few months (with overly expensive players that most folks will opt to skip until prices come down), seeing movies in high def on HBO and Showtime does make the prospects of having this degree of clarity and sharpness very enticing very soon.

vixmom · « **Reply #115 on:** April 02, 2006, 08:10:33 PM »

Well I think I shall toddle off the bed now as it is later than I think.

bk · « **Reply #116 on:** April 02, 2006, 08:10:41 PM »

I'd like to do a reading in NY for the short stories. Right now, we're looking at August or early September for the release. Have to have a cover designed - not sure what it should be yet, but am thinking constantly about it. Also have an idea for a new play, which has been gestating for the last week - a genre that hasn't been done in a while and one I dearly loved growing up. We shall see where that leads.

And now, it's massage time, and I do hope we're a little further along, posts-wise by the time it's finished, otherwise I shall be all tense again.

COLD CASE had a new episode tonight featuring a case of a cabbie auditioning for a community theater version of CABARET and ladning the role of Cliff.

Playing the cabbie was Adam Pascal. He sang snippets of a couple of Cliff's songs from the original production, but he was missing some notes. I wonder if he thought those were the correct notes or if he was deliberately singing a couple of them wrong just to give his performance of an inexperienced theater guy some believability. Anyway, he was quite adorable looking and looked much younger than he looks in the RENT movie.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES had some interesting stories.

spoiler- - - - -

No Applewhites again. Not that I miss them, but, boy, were they a misconception from the get-go!

I'd really love to see Susan and her husband get back together. They seem right for each other.
