Ah, a quiet Friday night at home, huddled under a blanket to combat a rather rainy cold night. Rented a few movies for tonight. One, Swimming Pool, I've heard good things about. Has anyone seen it? Any thoughts?
Now I must decide whether or not to brave the cold for some ice cream...

Yay, I started page 8!

Very anxious to see Swimming Pool - it's by the director who did 8 Femmes.

Awaiting the arrival of the Late-Night Denizens.

Really enjoyed John Turturro playing Tony Shaloub's even more dysfunctional brother on MONK tonight. They were hilarious and touching together with a neat little mystery they were involved in. Sweet show.

good night all. Repeated listenings to "Why Was I Born?" and "Is That All There Is?" are taking their toll.

Tomorrow will be a brighter day.

...You're lucky if you get callbacks for 1/4 of all your auditions, so what's your life going to be like if you beat your breast after the other 75%?...

Flat chested?

Just wanted to make sure the dear readers are remembering to vote for JEEPERS CREEPERS as the Best CD of the year . . .nominated for its very own Rondo Award!

http://rondoaward.com/

If I'm not mistaken, the awards themselves are presented right here (in Pennsylvania) at the Monster Bash.

Do you ever go to the Monster Bash TD? It sounds like it would be fun, and they sometimes have some cool guests.

I think DR MBarnum should leave Salem and hit Butler, PA for Monster Bash 2004!

Jay, you said it brilliantly in your post about luck. Create your own luck; I totally agree.

I had the BEST time in dance classes tonight! For Theatre Dance, the teacher mentioned Ann Miller and then, since she couldn't find an Ann Miller quote, posted a Gene Kelly quote:

"Because that's what we do up there:
We dance love,
We dance joy,
We dance dreams"

We have to memorize the quote and then speak it out loud during our warmup. Then we did a Fosse/Bennet-esque dance to "Le Jazz Hot". It was hot. We're doing it again tomorrow.

In the subsequent tap class (same teacher) we had a visitor: a girl who will be appearing on the VH1 (?)show "Made", where they take an ordinary person with a dream and help them make their dream come true. This particular girl wants to be in 42nd Street, so she is on her third week of tapping. Accompanying her was a cameraman, who shot the class for the show. So look for me on VH1 (or is it MTV?). I'll be the goofy one in the pink pants.

Off to bed. My body is wiped, but happy.

Or, more likely, chopped ham?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #235 on:** January 23, 2004, 10:26:33 PM »

As it happens I have been chopping celery today. I certainly was not thinking of TCB at the time. I suspect my dogs would prefer the liver or the ham - they shall be getting celery and carrots with their meat. (Never like to ask what the meat is in case it is kangaroo).

S. Woody White · « **Reply #236 on:** January 23, 2004, 10:37:59 PM »

Among our errands today, der Brucer and I stopped at a pet grooming shop called "Wag and Wash," to check on what their deal is with a rabies shots clinic tomorrow. We were greeted by the owner and her current "rescue," a white pit bull named Angel. Both were friendly as can be, but particularly Angel, who gave us a thorough sniff-over and licks, her tail constantly wagging to beat the band.

Angel doesn't have much left to her ears, and her lips have been torn off. Whoever had her before was using her as a training dog, a target for teaching other pit bulls how to be monsters. She is scarred physically, but has responded well to love and affection.

As it is, the woman running the store also runs a small kennel. If der Brucer and I have to leave town for any reason, I think we've found a good person to take care of our pack.

........and hopefully not Koala meat!

Just sitting here watching 20/20. John Stossel is still a hunk!

SWW -- Your story of Angel the pit bull is heartbreaking. How can there be such cruelty in people? It just breaks my heart.

I think it is bed time. Good night.

Anyone else heard the rumor that there might be a blizzard in NYC Sunday night? I heard it from a couple of people, but I'm not sure if they were reliable sources. Any info would be useful...

Long night at the Met tonight. Damn those Russian operas. But, it's good money, so it was worth it. I have to work a double tomorrow, so again--long day. At least my best friend will be working with me.

I bought some new shampoo last night. Pantene Pro-V with conditioner. I haven't "conditioned" my hair in so long that I forgot how nice it feels...I feel pretty...oh, so pretty...I feel pretty and skinny and bright!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #239 on:** January 23, 2004, 10:50:12 PM »

I hope you didn't buy the shampoo to give you more body Jason. I think that is what I have been doing over the past few years - I thought it only worked for the hair but I was obviously wrong.

Another reason to live on the far side of the world - a rabies free continent.
