Emily, I didn't know you were such a fig-hag! ;)

I hope I didn't offend anyone!  Really, I didn't mean to...if I did! :-\

Der Brucer and I had a very nice repast, traveling downtown to a restaurant called the Stoney Lonen.  It's supposed to have Irish references, and our waitress was indeed from Ireland.

We went because every Friday night they have a bargain: half-off on the fish and chips, and $2 Guiness.  

We started with their soup of the day, lobster bisque with fresh crab meat.  The bisque itself was on the brothy side, but had a good flavor, and there was plenty of crab.

As for the fish and chips, the halibut was ale-battered and breaded nicely, crisp on the outside and very tender inside.  The chips, shoestring potatoes, were just right, not overdone (as can often happen).  This was served with a nice cup of cole slaw, not skimpy but enough to last through the meal.

Very enjoyable.

Dance of the 7 figs perhaps.

Media check update.
Neil Sedaka is about to sing about climbing one more mountain. This shall be followed by the wonderful and popular Miss Ronstadt singing "White Rhythm and Blues".

Back from the airport where I dropped off DD. After feeding and walking the hound, I need to clean up the place, then get my notes together from my LONG meeting, then, if I have energy left, start to write. Color/colour me exhausted. :P

Old news I guess but there is yet another "pop song" show around "Colour My World" - songs from the group "Chicago".. I thought it would have been Jackie Trent & Tony Hatch songs as the reference was Colour rather than color! (Broadway News or whatever  it is called).

What I want to know is, where is the Duran Duran musical?

Do we have words of wisdom from DiT today? More sweeping and dusting with Steve & Eydie perhaps.

Steve and Eydie did a superlative job, and the joint sparkles.

Isn't the Duran Duran musical called "Hungry Like The Wolf"? I think Michael Crawford is to star. Sort of a gothic thriller! They are doing so well with the genre lately.

He had "bad blood" and was not welcome at the convent. I remember reading it in his "diary" Too bad the Tra La La days are over. And now I am probably just going off on a pop tangent that not even the kings of clowns on this site will follow. I''ll go play solitaire for a while..

Maybe they can get Harvey Fierstein to play Rio.

Can't seem to clean up. I'm just moving things around from place to place. This calls for ice cream -- the one true source of energy (aside form chocolate). Perhaps CHOCOLATE ice cream. I shall attempt to put on some clothes and venture out for ice cream.

Mmmm... Ice cream! Good idea, Panni. I myself am eating a carton of Ben & Jerry's Karamel Sutra. It's yummy!

I have so much furniture in my room right now and it doesn't all fit. I have a futon/bunkbed, a dresser, a bureau, a nightstand, four end tables, a desk, four chairs, and two bookshelves. I've been trying to make it all fit so that you don't have to climb over something to get through the door. It's like a really big version of that game where you move those tiles around to make a picture and there's only one empty space.

No that can't be right.

Yes, DR Francois, there was some talk about Broadway's Lost Treasures here some weeks ago. William E. Lurie, I believe, posted the rundown of the next installment, and while I'm grateful to have ANYTHING, regretted that the powers that be still can't seem to procure rights to the clips from DREAMGIRLS, I DO! I DO!, A CHORUS LINE, PURLIE, and COCO, among others.

Speaking of ice cream, der Brucer and I picked up a box of ice cream sandwiches today!  They are yummers!

Commercial world, dear reader Matt, commercial world!

I think seeing Katharine Hepburn in her only musical would or should be commercial. So would CHORUS LINE and DREAMGIRLS, iwo of Broadway's all-time hits. Mary Martin was one of the first ladies of musical theater and whose name still should mean something to the people for whom this video program is intended. And PURLIE features the electrifying opening number and the unforgettable "I Got Love."

I know, Lansbury and Orbach are still around and can publicize the video, but I think the numbers named are every bit as commercial as "We'll Take a Glass Together" (which I LOVE, BTW, as it features the amazing Jeter and HHW pin-up boy Brent Barrett.)
