My clock hasn't been on schedule since my surgery in 2005!

So, that explains all the tics.  Ba-dum!

I'm seeing Prelude to a Kiss this evening. I remember being entranced by the first production at the now defunct Circle Rep theatre. It starred Alec Baldwin, Mary Louise Parker and the amazing Barnard Hughes. John Mahoney is playing the role this time around.

I loved Barney Hughes.  I still miss seeing him around.  I hope his wonderful wife Helen is okay.

Good Afternoon!

Back from lunch.  I headed to a nice little Korean place down the street, Little Seoul.  I had Dolsot Bim Bim Bap, and a spicy tuna roll for an appetizer.  A good meal.

Isn't that whom we ran into coming back from Popover's?

It is cloudy and grey and I don't have anything that HAS to be done today. I am thinking seriously about closing my office door so it looks like I'm here and sneaking out.   I haven't played hooky in ages.  It's a little tricky here, with security cameras at the door and all, but you can sneak out the back without being detected if you do it just right

I can just imagine Jerome Robbins:

"Ethel, I got a great idea.  Let's bring everybody on during Rose's Turn and let 'em walk around.  Okay?"

Ethel's response cannot be written here.

Which year had that little blonde kid?  Not anthony. But this guy was sort of funny looking and believe the website you're talking about backed him.
I don't know.  

Kevin Covais last year and John Stephens ("Red") the year before that both got what I like to call the preteen/Granny vote. These sweet kids appeal to young preteenaged girls and their grandmothers and get their votes.

I thought it was priceless, however, when Ryan asked Sanjaya last night if he thought he should be voted through to next week, "Well, yeah, of course." Yet, when he's performing, he looks like he'd rather be anywhere BUT in front of those cameras and audience.

A package from Amazon arrived today.  Der Brucer has a trio of Van Dyke Parks albums for us to listen to when we drive up to Dover later today (so much for our comparing the OCR and York recordings of Merrily We Roll Along, and I'd wanted to get his opinion on how much clearer the York recording is to the OCR in it's sound - the OCR is surprisingly muddy).

But right now I'm having a joyous time listening to the original television soundtrack for the first two seasons of Doctor Who.  Yes, DR George, you're gonna want this one!

I'll add it to my list.  This weekend, I actually saw the second season soundtrack at Silver Platters (ooo...five illiterative esses! ;)).  I wondered if I should get it, but I didn't.  I guess now I must. :)

I watched the Disney PETER PAN today with the audio commentary turned on. The DIsney folks have edited a bunch of interviews with the animators, Leonard Maltin, Kathryn Beaumont, Disney himself, and others to make a very interesting and informative running commentary. I actually loved it, and it's not often you'll hear me say that about a running commentary on a DVD.

Next, I put in the LAW & ORDER:CI disc five from the set and watched a couple of episodes.

In the first, some math whiz had come up with a winning formula for a horse racing scam that was being controlled by the Israeli mob. I didn't remember having ever seen this episode before, and it had a really creepy villain who had some memorable encounters with Detective Goran.

Get out your credit cards...the Sony/BMG re-masters of the OBCs of Woods, Merrily, Sunday, and Sweeney are all still scheduled for next week, 3/20.

It's about freakin' time!!

In honor of Melinda Doolittle's sterling rendition of "Home" last night, I put in the DVD of THE WIZ and watched some of the musical numbers. The movie is as drab on this DVD as it's possible to be. It doesn't help that it's not an anamorphic transfer either, but this is another example of a Broadway musical botched for the screen, just like ANNIE, A CHORUS LINE, MAN OF LA MANCHA (though I like it a little better than other folks seem to).

My I LOVE LUCY Seasons 7-9 boxed set came today. Don't know that I'll get to any of them today, but I'll certainly start watching some of them tomorrow. It's been many years since I've seen ANY of these.

No.  That was Theodore Uppman's widow Jean.

Hi from home.  I have a load of laundry in, and have done a little picking up.  I sort of got busted as I snuck out the back door, but it's the one person in the office who would think it was funny that I was sneaking out.  We'll find out tomorrow if he ratted me out. He used to rat me out for everything, but since he found out I'm leaving his whole attitude is different

What is with Rachael Ray's hair. It looks like it's dyed way too dark. Ok, maybe it's just me, but I liked it better when it was a little lighter
