I had a wonderful, albeit short, time with Tom and Antonia at Dusk last night. I left early because I needed to pack for the DC trip but it was fun to raise a glass to Antonia's great accomplishment. Whether she works for the Jewish Board or some other organization, the people for whom she works will be getting a real gem. Congrats, again TPunk and good luck with the job search. Have fun this long weekend!

"Tom and Antonia at Dusk" -- that will be the title of my new oil painting...

I managed to get through a whole big box of stuff - and throw most of it out. Much more to come. A little at a time, then go through it all again and get rid of more. Something goes out every day from now on... lightening my load. I'm gonna die FREE of effluvia, and BROKE!!

DR MattH, I read about the NBC shake-ups this morning in my local paper. Let's just say i was not happy about them pulling MEDIUM till january.

What the heck is the point of submitting a schedule only to pull it a week later. I am really annoyed at them. I don't even think I watch anything else on that channel, and now i'm glad.

I wonder if the season finale ratings were not good?

Far be it from me to try to defend NBC which has made one boneheaded move after another in the years since FRIENDS and FRASIER assisted it in becoming and staying #1 in the ratings.

However, in NBC's defense, it was the first network to present its schedule at the affiliate up-fronts and had to make decisions based on what it THOUGHT the other networks were going to do. NBC had no idea GREY'S ANATOMY was going to Thursday instead of Monday (which was the general concensus) or that CBS was going to move WITHOUT A TRACE to Sunday and do away with the movie that's been there for many years. The network is not working from a strong schedule to start with with no big hits on their list any more and trying desperately to find a relatively safe time period to launch what they hope will be a new hit to jump start them again (the way ABC got jump started by LOST and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES last year).

So, I understand why they had to shake up their original schedule. And MEDIUM was down a bit from its ratings last year for its season ender. Of course, THE APPRENTICE has not provided it with much of a lead-in this year. Believe it or not, LAS VEGAS was a much more compatible lead-in for it than THE APPRENTICE has been. Sadly, when it comes back in January, guess what's going to be its lead-in? Right! THE APPRENTICE!

Cillaliz: You have my deepest sympathy for your loss. It's traumatic enough to lose a pet, but when something happens to them that cannot be treated, it's very frustrating, vexing and maddening.

I'm certain the vet took every necessary precaution to ensure Nilla did not suffer.

Nilla had a loving home and a good life. Be at peace.

I thoroughly enjoyed DEEP IN MY HEART this afternoon. I haven't watched it all the way through in awhile, and it's a nice laserdisc transfer with excellent surround sound and (for Eastmancolor) good, rich color.

I echo the sentiments, DR Cillaliz. Nilla had a good life, and you can feel happy and fulfilled knowing that.

I slept in til 10:30 a.m. today. It's nice having a four-day weekend.

Of course, I'd love to be productive...but the air is so cool and refreshing and the sleep was so deep and the bed so warm that I simply could not resist.

Next I put in SMALL TOWN GIRL. Again, hadn't watched it in quite a long time, and the VHS tape, unlike LOVELY TO LOOK AT, is not a new Technicolor restoration or anything close to it. Thus, it often looks washed out and there's definite print damage to have to endure.

Still, Farley Granger is "lovely to look at," and Jane Powell does a nifty dance with Bobby Van which helps us remember she was not always just about trilling.

DR DAKOTA CELT discussed CHEYENNE AUTUMN here at length a few weeks ago.

And I certainly agree with MR BK, that the Baker-Widmark relationship worked very well....but then Carroll is terrific in everything in my prejudiced opinion.

My mom saw Jane Fonda speak as part of a speakers package she subscribes to. She'd really been looking forward to it, but when she told me about it today and said that Miss Fonda seemed a little hyped up and was very ansty, moving and fidgeting all over the place. (Actually I believe her words were, she seemed like she was on crack) She wondered if it was simply that Miss Fonda was nervous or if there was something else going on.

Has your mother seen Julie Andrews on that program?
If she looked ... agitated it's because Julie is on... pixie- dust!!

Yesterday's TOTD:

So love is a hoax,
A glittering string
Of little white lies,
But these are the jokes,
And what if they bring
The tears to your eyes?
Well, love often shows
A funny return,
The brighter it glows,
The longer you burn,
And Lord only knows
Love has little concern
For the fools of the road.
But that's how it goes,
You live and you learn
The rules of the road.
(from "The Rules of the Road")

From now on
I promise to behave,
I'll pack my gear and disappear from view.
From now on
I'll huddle in a cave,
But if in case ya miss the face that used to pester you,

Just give a little whistle, ring a little bell,
Crook your little finger, honey, give a little yell,
I'll leap over fences,
I'll even leave my senses
And I'll take, for your sake, to the air.
Just give a little whistle,
Say you want me, and I'll be there.
(from "Give a Little Whistle," Wildcat

I've got your number,
I know you inside out,
You ain't no Eagle Scout,
You're all at sea.
Oh yes, you brag a lot,
Wave your own flag a lot,
But you're unsure a lot,
You're a lot
Like me.
Oh, I've got your number
And what you're looking for,
And what you're looking for
Just suits me fine.
We'll break those rules a lot,
We'll be damn fools a lot,
But then, why should we not,
How could we not
Combine
When I've got your number
And I've got the glow you've got,
I've got your number
And, baby, you know you've got
Mine!

Bits of trivia about Leigh:

- Around 1980, she briefly appeared as a cabaret artist, performing her own songs at Mike's Pub in New York.

- She and Coleman were among the songwriters who were considered by the producers of Gypsy. They wrote several songs to audition for the show; one of them, "Firefly," later became another hit for Tony Bennett, and another, "Be a Performer," wound up in Little Me.

Leigh's lyrics for a Peter Pan song:

When I went home, I thought that certainly
Someone would leave the door or window open wide for me,
And surely there would be
A welcome light.
When I went home, I counted so upon
Somebody waiting up to ask me questions on and on
To ask me where I'd gone,
Was I all right?
But the door was barred and the window barred
And I knew with an awful dread
That somebody else, some other boy
Was sleeping in my bed.
When I went home, I found that sad to say
You must expect to be forgotten once you've gone away,
And so I couldn't stay
That lonely night when I went home.

Once I finish SMALL TOWN GIRL, I'll be watching last night's CSI rerun. I remember liking the story (Faye Dunaway plays an ex-show girl). Then, I think I'll go back to musicals with Marge and Gower Champion in EVERYTHING I HAVE IS YOURS.

Of course, the mopping of the kitchen floor must occur before anything else!

This is for DR MBarnum:

Disney Studios is reported to be working on a Bollywood feature film version of a TV musical based loosely on Shakespeare's classic love tale "Romeo Juliet", starring actors from India and using Indian-flavoured songs.

The company will also consider re-shooting its made for TV "High School Musical" with Spanish speaking actors for Latin markets, according to a report in the Washington Times. Disney has shipped 1.8 million DVDs to retailers with plans to sell it in 100 countries.

The musical centers on Troy, a high school basketball star and wannabe singer, and the nerdy Gabreilla. The mismatched pair meet at a New Year eve karaoke contest, fall in love and decide to audition for their high school musical against the wishes of their friends, thus sealing their fate.

"High School Musical" was simply one of the 65 made for TV movies produced by the Disney channel since its January debut for a modest $4.2 million before its young audience learned the upbeat pop tunes and dance numbers from "behind the scenes' features and music videos. A hit was thus born.
