TOD: The entire first act of "L'Estat". Nothing technical, although it was a tad rough during its run at the Curran Theater in San Francisco.

It's just that Act 1 was the worst theatrical disaster I ever witnessed, bar none.

Agreed.

Although, I thought the finale in San Fran was also quite "rough". Although, the six(!) different versions we tried in New York weren't relaly much better... just different. $:-\$

I'm back to studying my Spanish again. I did a demo on Rosetta Stone's website. It seems like a really good program. Has anyone used it to learn a language?

Haven't used that...but just have a suggestion. If you have cable/satellite and get the Spanish channel... spend a week or so - or even more - just immersing yourself in the language - everything from news to their soaps to their movies. You learn a language a lot faster if you can immerse yourself in it for several hours a day.

I'm working on German... I've got a German version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerers stone, and audio CDs of the same book, also in German, so I can read along and see/hear how the words are pronounced properly - I'm finding that very helpful.

And when I need a lighter touch I try to read Mord auf dem Golfplatz, by Agatha Christie...

DR Cillaliz - I remember reading some arguments people had with the language learning theory behind the Rosetta program. Not that it's not fine, but I'd definitely do a little research on the Internet before investing.

And, like DR 3D just stated, immersion is probably the most efficient and effective way!

DR Danise - Good to see you again.

Do you have a surge protector for your computer and modem set-up?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #275 on:** September 22, 2007, 06:02:16 PM »

DR Cillaliz - I have a few friend who swear by the Rosetta Stone programs. However, I also have some friends who swear by the Berlitz programs. -And the new-ish computer-based Berlitz programs are certainly a lot cheaper than the Rosetta Stone programs. -Maybe you could find a gently used program on e-Bay?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #276 on:** September 22, 2007, 06:03:11 PM »

...Or you could just move to Washington Heights for about two weeks too.

DR Miss Karen - What time do you get in tomorrow? And do you have any plans for tomorrow night? Or Monday at this point? I believe I have a few bakeries and chocolate shops to show you. -Oh, and I think we need to go clothes shopping for your dear Boo-Key too.

I want Monkey Cake!! ... From the Enabler! ... The Lord willin' and the creek don't rise (and the airlines are running on time ...) I should arrive in NYC around 3-ish in the afternoon, but then taxi time, etc -- but hopefully by late afternoon I should be at the sublet on 44th.

What happened to Boo-Key's clothes?!

DR Jose ~ Then there's the opportunity for some adventure Wednesday after the Brain matinee with DR MusicGuy and DR Jeanne -- and we must get DR Jasmine, I mean, Jason at these events also. Where has he and his silly photos been as of late?!

Hello dear assorted and sun-dried H/Ks and studlies and lovelies!

Good evening dear Esteemed BK -- glad you're having a day to catch the breath!!

I've been getting some "end-of-the-month" stuff done (a little early) as I'll be away from my computer next week. All pretty tedious desk business, but thank God I have it to do!

And, Wednesday afternoon, I shall be parking my svelte tusch in the venerable Acorn Theatre and reveling in will-benders, and brain-assistants, and Elmo orchestrations, and BK's creation!!

And then.... food !!!

Miss Karen · « **Reply #281 on:** September 22, 2007, 06:15:31 PM »

Time to head to the theatre for closing night! And then to the after-party and then to the airport to catch my 6 am flight (yikes!). Big Apple here I come!!

Dearest cutie-buns..... You have to remember that you have only been awarded your "honorary card" and so you must trust your fairy-godmothers if sartorial advice is forthcoming.

Trust me....... (no, really!

Well, I may just have to prepare a "Welcome To NYC" goody bag for you, DR Miss Karen. -Especially, since I'm sure those chocolates are long gone by now. If there ever were any chocolates.

Oh no dear.... you don't really mean "or those cookies." "Or" is not allowed in the jojo restaurant experience of New York!

In fact, I recommended to jojo that we should do an "afternoon pick-me-up" around 3:00 PM on Wednesday, at The Little Pie Company !!

Hi Ben.....I'm not going to be able to be in the City on Tuesday evening, so all day Wednesday is when I'll be in Manhattan. Maybe we can connect......

Oh, cool! A friend of mine just called me and asked if I'd like to go see The Ritz tomorrow afternoon since he has an extra ticket. So, i guess I'll be seeing the evening show of Poppins tomorrow instead.
