Working 12 hr shifts at the hosp, yesterday and today, and there are pot-lucks everywhere, so the diet went out the window. Thank goodness I can start over on Monday. Stereo, a second hand copy of Offenbach's ROBINSON CRUSOE, with English lyrics..DVD, tonight, will be STOLEN KISSES, which I never got around to seeing(Failed to watch it last night 'cause I fell asleep watching LEGALLY BLONDE on MTV.Car CD MERRY FROM LENA-She's so good on Silent Night, Drummer Boy and the like, I wish there had been more of these songs and fewer on the snowflakeRudolphbells type thing.I'm so spoiled by "Turkey Lurkey Time", esp now that I can watch it on YouTube, that it's either Turkey Lurkey or Bach's Christmas oratoriio; It's gotta be sacred or it's gotta be Turkey Lurkey!.

BTW, I will probably be back later with an I Blame MattH story (as much as I'd like to blame Jose).

I will certainly be waiting to hear this!

The Grant Geissman pic showed up for me, too.

The grocery store was virtually empty today just like it was last year. I was SO happy. Got a parking space near the door and zipped in and out quickly. Too bad it's not like this the rest of the year.

I began my afternoon viewing with last night's LAW & ORDER: CI. It seemed familiar, but maybe it was a new episode. I really wasn't sure. Anyway, Michael Biehn and the actress who played on THE NANNY (can't think of her name) were the guest stars, and it was an interesting case interrupted by the constant phone calls to Bobby from his near-senile mother played by Rita Moreno. Bobby was near the breaking point and looked like he was about to be fired. This is what made the show so familiar. I thought it might have been an episode from last season.

LAW & ORDER; SVU had a good case that featured the "other" detective team. Mariska Hargitay was only in one scene, and Christopher Meloni wasn't in more than maybe three, though he did have more to do than Hargitay.

I then began watching RETURN TO NEVER LAND, but I didn't quite get to the end. I'll finish it when I go down. Certainly not as good as the original PETER PAN. Different voices (not as good as the originals), a very mediocre score, but some excellent sound design and OK animation.

I am sorry to hear of Reg Park's passing, too.
I have a few of his movies on dvd.

I was a TWIN PEAKS maven.
I loved everything about TWIN PEAKS for a while.
Then I started phasing out of TWIN PEAKS.
Suddenly David Duchovny appeared as Dennis/Denise, and I was hooked again.
I even have a fondness for TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME.
I'm looking to have the Gold Box by Christmas.

singdaw · « **Reply #195 on:** November 23, 2007, 01:39:39 PM »

And let's hope that the deleted scenes from Fire Walk With Me eventually see the light of day...

elmore, thanks for the tip about Coward's Look After Lulu. I know I have the play around here somewhere and I believe you're right about Vivian Leigh being in it. I did not know it was a version of Feydeau's Amelie. The production I watched last night was done probably back in the Seventies, Dame Judi was still fairly young, it zipped along at a brisk 58 minutes. I don't know if it had been cut for TV; but its pace was dazzling!

I believe a volume of Noel Coward's Letters was just published. I suspect the equal the theatrical treasure trove Gielgud's Letters proved to be and are just as dishy!

What a wacky morning. I got up early and trudged over to The Grove, where I was expecting to find hordes of shoppers and no parking. There were no shoppers and no parking, save for people in the Apple Store. This was about eight-thirty this morning. What became clear is that no stores in the Grove were having sales. What a joke. The Apple Store had a few things on sale for fifty or a hundred bucks less, but nothing you'd need especially. The Farmer's Market had more people than The Grove, and you couldn't get anywhere near Du-Par's, astonishing when you think of all the pigging out that occurred last night.

I'm home now and relaxing until about quarter to five, when I'll leave for my post-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Dinner.

OY! I barely could find a parking spot this morning!
According to early reports, the sales in my store (I worked the Calender Store today) were nearly double those of last year's in the same store.
As a manager queried me on my way out the door, "Were you selling YOURSELF with every calender purchased today?"

I replied, "yes."
Of course.

I love Offenbach's ROBINSON CRUSOE! The original Friday was the original Carmen, Celestine Galli-Marie.

It is last season. Bobby's mother died, IIRC.

At 58 minutes, it was cut, probably by about a third. It's originally a 3-act farce, and I have a translation under the title KEEP AN EYE ON AMELIA in an Eric Bentley collection of farces. I like the Coward version a lot.

I'm quite tired. I ended up watching one more episode of Twin Peaks, which kept me up until one-thirty.

Thanks, DR Elmore. Nice to know I'm not completely senile yet. Just on the way there . . . .
