Thanks again, Penny. Were your ears burning the other day? I mentioned your name to an old friend from the BMI Workshopand he said "Yes! Jewish Thighs on Broadway!"

Sota kinda shocked at the mixed reviews (very grudging from Brantley in the Times) for DROWSY CHAPERONE.

That should be sorta kinda, not sota kinda.

I could use a soda right now, though.

What is wrong with Mr. Brantly that he just can't say, it's a good show. I liked it. You will probably like it too.

Re: last night's MEDIUM.

I really liked last night's show and found it completely chilling.
It was interesting how so much information was not given to us with only 15 minutes remaining (as seems to be the norm lately).

It was also interesting how we did not see or know the killer until the end.

I thought Molly Ringwald was really good as the blind woman. And I really enjoyed how the case played out.

And while it was clear that there was some connection between the guy in jail and the blind woman, the writers did not tell us about the girl and the blindfold until 15 minutes till the end of the show.

I'm not sure why the DA still doubts alison. I don't think he does per se. He just needs proof before he understands. It does seem odd sometimes. But since alison's dream so often don't make sense at first, i suppose it makes sense.

Re: Medium and the DA constantly doubting her... maybe they should show some times when she was completely off base and wasted everyone's time to make it make sense... I mean regular people aren't right 100% of the time, why should she be?

New Delhi, India (AHN) - Pepsi has been fined more than 100,000 rupees in compensation by a city consumer court, after a man found a condom in his sealed bottle of the softdrink.

The Press Trust of India reports a consumer group spokesperson as stating, "This case is an eye-opener for others who are engaged in manufacturing soft dirinks and are required to mantain the prescribed standards of purity in pulblic interest during the course of their business."

The man who reported the complaint began suffering from severe dyspepsia and headache as well as insomnia after drinking from the bottle.

Of course DR Sandra will just tell you that the solution is to only drink Cherry Coke!

I don't know if anyone saw MadTV last weekend, but they did a Medium spoof where the husband freaked out from being repeatedly woken up by her dreams and the DA constantly doubted and questioned her. The women coming to her in her dreams kept getting murdered and were bringing her mapquest directions to the next crime. Still no respect from the DA. It was pretty funny.

Will you be tripping back here come October?

I want to very much, but I just do not know if I will be able to afford any vacations this year....but as the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way!

I just know that I will be green with envy if I do not get to go this year!!

DRvixmom, thanks for the update on DR Danise!

DR Ron Pulliam, I hope all is well with your muscle/nerve/what the hell is causing the pain.

I'm surprised by some of the DROWSY CHAPERONE reviews as well, but I do know one man's whimsy is another's poison. I was given a complete performance on CD today, and I'm enjoying it immensely. [move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]

I've recently taken a couple of Extra Strength Tylenol to gently assist me into the afternoon.

I'll know after lunch whether I'm going to go the distance or leave early.

If I leave early, then....

Back just for a moment before I toddle off to the audio mix.

Love PennyO's comments. The Tammy issue is really complex. She was the role model for the character, and there's a lot of her in it. On the other hand, I wrote it and I wrote it the way the play dictated, so there is this whole other element that just took her aback - that and the fact that some of the stuff hit very close to home for her (in terms of the character's craziness). Whether she has the sand to really pull it off on stage remains to be seen. I believe with a good deal of work she could, because I tailored it for her - but after last night I'm not sure anymore. I suppose time will tell.

Susan Strasberg as a young actress in STAGE STRUCK failed (for me) for probably many of the same reasons.

I thought Clark Kent was Superboy. Is he Superman too?

At the same time?

Have any of the New Yorkers seen the Irving Berlin exhibit at the Vincent Astor gallery in the Performing Arts Library? Anthony and I are going on Thursday afternoon. The library is open until 8pm and the exhibit only runs until May 26th. We kept putting it off and now it's almost over. We so enjoyed the Vaudeville exhibit and I'm looking forward to this one as well.
