Just had a phone call from my muse Margaret, who finished the first forty-one pages of the new book. As some may remember, she was not that thrilled when I did last year's version of this, and she suggested I not begin it until after the first of the year (the smartest thing she could have ever said). Back then, we discussed her problems with it and she was so on the money about it all. When I reread it in January, I couldn't believe how awful it was - mostly the tone and a few of the characters.

So, I'm happy to report that she loves the new version, which is indeed very different in tone - much more detail, much more likeable characters, much more verisimilitude. I couldn't be more pleased and I shall now mush on.

...or ten!

Why, of course 10!! How "stupid, stupid, stupid" of me!....

....or better yet, 20 -- do your Christmas shopping early, beat the rush. The Brain From Planet X is the perfect gift for the music lover on your list...

...or the perfect gift for anniversaries, birthdays, or "just because"....think of Kritzerland as your one-stop gift shop.....

Loved the music in the 70s...yes, the last great decade IMHO as well.

And I haven't even started on favorite Broadway songs from that time period.

Sigh.

DR Iris · « **Reply #281 on:** February 15, 2007, 06:18:21 PM »

Think I'll head on over to iTunes and buy lots of the above mentioned music.

Have a good evening, everyone!

Hmm, thought this would take us to page 11.

For anyone who loves Sunday In The Park With George--

I was bothered by Jason Alexander's decision to have 2 REAL actors play the 2 soldiers in the current Reprise! production at UCLA.

I felt that much of the humor was lost when the "one on the right" was played by a tall, handsome, actual human. Didn't work for me.

Thoughts?

bk · « **Reply #291 on:** February 15, 2007, 06:43:54 PM »

You couldn't pay me to see that show directed by that person - or anything else at Reprise, since they have now stolen my idea to do Li'l Abner. When I was asked by the MD there which show I'd most like to do, it was that. He told me it wasn't a possibility because Musical Theatre Group had just done it. He lied. I've hired that gentleman on several occasions - that won't be happening again.

This piece of crap computer I have to use is pissing me off! I lost a whole post about today's meeting with the attorney about the estate. The tension wasn't grisly, but it will get worse. Sibling rivalry? Perhaps. Lady M egging someone on? Perhaps. I've never felt the sibling rivalry/malcontent that I get from my brother. It will get worse, I believe, when the account fro the estate starts filling with cash, but I'm basically being blamed, I fear, for things entirely out of my control, dating back to parental gifts. Essentially, I'm being disliked for reasons entirely out of my control, and it hurts.

Today's rumblings: we emptied my dad's safety deposit box, which we were told contained an uncashed insurance policy on Macbeth from the 1950s and my mom's wedding rings. Quelle surprise! There were also - forgotten by my dad over time - a similar policy for Randy, my dad's certificate of discharge from the armed service, and a certificate of deposit (matured) payable to me for around $7900 from 1997! I suspect it was the result of some dealings in the family business with my brothers and my dad's wish to keep things equal with me. Macbeth's comment to Randy during the meeting with the attorney: "He's already $7000 ahead!"

On a happier note, DR MissKaren, I have two festive pairs of Christmas boxers for our Boo-key to regale the holiday throngs.

Larry, I'm totally confused by her reaction to the $7900. Doesn't that mean that not only are you not ahead, but actually that you've been at a disadvantage dating back ten years, and that's money that could have come in handy and made your life easier years ago - maybe I'm not phrasing this right, but I think her logic is absurd.

Oh elmore, I feel for you. Keep very detailed records of everything you do as the executor.

It's a long and lonely wait, isn't it?

I too would love to attend The Brain festivities, but alas, I am doomed to be in Ohio battling sibling rivalry and other adolescent behavior.

Jane · « **Reply #299 on:** February 15, 2007, 07:07:33 PM »

FJL-I don't think you should expect logic from the MacBeth's. They haven't shown any up to now & I don't expect it is one of Mrs. MacBeth's strong points.
