You want a nice vegetarian dish, go to Daily Grill. A friend of mine ordered their vegetable plate the other day and it looked like a magazine picture of a bountiful harvest. Some veggies were grilled, others steamed, and there was an unbelievable quantity of food.

Thank you, Jay! The Grill is just up the street and I've never had this dish. That's what I'll order next time!

Off to rehearsal. Keep the home fries burning - it's so nice to come home to a load of lovely postings. Relaxes me right up.

May your talent and career last considerably longer than those of Miss Sass.

I'm aiming more for Rozsa and Cuddles.

I eat at the one in Brentwood with my brother. Garlic mashed potatoes are a must with the veggies.

Oh yes. I saw Hairspray last night. No time for a lengthy review, but it was swell.

Vilanch's ad-lib schtick was limited to the in-front-of-the-curtain portion of the "Your Timeless to Me" scene. Inasmuch that set-up--and Wilbur's outfit--evoke vaudeville, it worked.

Fun show, fun score, fun scenery, costumes and wigs, fun time.

242. Erno Rubik - Mathematician, Inventor of Rubik's Cube!
243.Leopold Ruzicka - Nobel Prize 1939 - "For his work on polymethylenes & higher terpenes"

Zsa Zsa, Eva, Magda and their momma, Jolie?

ZOUNDS!

Congratulations Anna (Panni) on the reviews and of course on making it to the list. I assume Zoltan Karparthy is on there somewhere too.

On today's tvguide.com, they have a review of "Tiger Cruise." I hope you don't mind me posting this, but here are few excerpts:

Disney Channel's original movies are consistently among the best TV-films on the air. In the last year, the House of Mouse has televised inspirational sports-themed flicks such as Full-Court Miracle and Going to the Mat, the hip musical drama The Cheetah Girls and the sunny comedy Stuck in the Suburbs. While each of these movies is aimed at kids and teens, adults — like myself — can enjoy them, too. Tonight's movie, however, isn't just aimed at children. In fact, parents are urged to watch Tiger Cruise because of the extremely serious subject matter: the Sept. 11 attacks.

It then goes on to tell a bit about the story and the characters, but the last paragraphs are real good:

...The story is told from Maddie's point of view and she forms playful relationships with two other kids aboard the ship. What is different about Cruise is the goal. Initially, Maddie's mission is to get her dad to come home for good. But after she watches him at work, she realizes just how much other people depend on him to protect our country. In the end, she must decide if she needs her dad more than her country does.

The movie is an excellent springboard for a conversation with your kids about Sept. 11. The horrific events of that day are not depicted graphically, but the gravity of the situation is conveyed by the impressive cast and script. When my 11-year-old daughter, Jennie, watched Tiger Cruise, she wept. Although we did not know anyone who perished in the attacks, the movie drove home the fact that ordinary people, like us, lost loved ones that day. What's more, there are brave men and women who risk their lives everyday to defend our freedom.

You can't ask for a movie to do more than that. And Tiger Cruise does it admirably. — Tim Holland

Pretty darned good, Panni (Anna)!! Yet another great review!

Good morning! (Yeah, I know.)

Happy birthday td!

Congratulations Panni!

Welcome back Kerry!

Feel better Elmore!

I think that's everybody.

My VCR still isn't hooked up and I have no idea what is in there. Frank Sinatra is in my CD player.

The end.

Oh! So that's where he's been lately!!

Thought he'd disappeared with Zoltan Kaparthy!!
Wonder how such rumours start!

Next thing you know, they'll say there's nudity in Broadway shows!

That's pure terrorism to keep decent people away from the musical theater!
A shame!

Jennifer · « **Reply #164 on:** August 06, 2004, 04:11:32 PM »

Okay where have I been? I did not know that Tiger Cruise was about 9/11.

Has anyone here seen a new WB show called Studio 7. I happened to turn it on last night when I was trying to fall asleep. It's basically 7 18-23 yr olds living in a house for a few weeks learning trivia. There are different questions asked to each, followed by eliminations. Then the last task is a memory round. They had to memorize the dates, teams, and scores of all the Superbowls. Wow.

In my CD player at work: "Putumaya presents Greece: A Musical Odyssey" (it was a gift and it's pretty good...not knowing what's good Greek music or what's bad Greek music. As they saying goes (and remember, no groaning allowed): It's all Greek to me!

After that will be the three Kritzer CDs that came with the three Benjamin Kritzer books! Yesterday, the library I work for just got the third book, "Kritzer Time."

In my VCR: a blank tape to tape "Tiger Cruise"...what else?

In my DVD player: "The Manchurian Candidate" I checked it out from the library and it's overdue...however, I have no idea where it is! I bought it a few days ago and that's what I'll watch...but not tonight.

Well, I literally JUST got a call from my sister saying that her boyfriend bought four tickets to see The Corrs in concert at the St. Michele (I think) winery in Woodinville! So, I'm leaving work early so that I can set my VCR to tape "Tiger Cruise," then go to see The Corrs (in the rain)!

George · « **Reply #167 on:** August 06, 2004, 04:19:26 PM »

The St. Michele winery has a natural outdoor amphitheater...outdoor, meaning when it rains, we get rained on! I've seen The Manhattan Transfer there when it was raining and it was still a good concert.

François de Paris · « **Reply #168 on:** August 06, 2004, 04:21:08 PM »

To be rained on in a ... winery is quite unseemly!!

George · « **Reply #169 on:** August 06, 2004, 04:22:01 PM »

Free tickets...what can I say?

François de Paris · « **Reply #170 on:** August 06, 2004, 04:22:56 PM »

Do you get... rainchecks???

Must be me but i find Peter Gallagher's singing in Pal Joey quite dull!

Sorry, Peter! Wish your voice were as nice as your looks!

In the CD player:

Classic Queen

Brigadoon (studio cast recording)

Sleepless in Seattle (soundtrack)

Bellini's Norma (complete) with Mesdames Sutherland and Horne

Must be me but i think it's wrong to pause after "never" in I COULD WRITE A BOOK:

"... so the world could never -- pause -- forget!"

Mr Rodgers would like it and Mr Mel Tormé would not approve!

Forgive me! I'm just rambling!

DRJANE is that the MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY box set with Miss Annette Funicello as Gina? Does she sing and dance? Isn't she just too cute? If it IS the box set with Miss Annette Funicello, that is.
