I suppose someone is going to tell me that L. Bernstein's Mass is an opera.  I've always thought of it as a "theater piece," as it's composer said.  (And it did play Broadway, so it has to be a musical, right?)

But didn't it open at the Kennedy Center in the Opera House?

DR TD mentioned that Laura Elliot aka Casey Rogers mentions why she chnaged her name in the making of documentary in Strangers On a Train. Well I don't have that so what was the reason.

Evening folks!

I must say that I felt good today.  I mean, really, really, really good.  I woke up perfectly rested for once and I had a very nice day at work.  Gave the boss heck.  She loves it.  

We have some phrases that we’ve had to type over and over again and old programmable typewriters.  I couldn’t figure out how to make it save the phrase in memory since the instruction manual has long since been MIA.    Phrases like “Approved By:_______________,  Date:_____________ --- you get the idea. Turns out my boss is a real whiz with them.  I ribbed her about being “New technology challenged but Old technology savvy”.  She’s still not sure if she likes that statement or not.  

I’m sorry, Dan the Man, that I don’t have any pictures of “The Blue Whale” but I think (help me out here, Jrand) that was just a set that was built and never a location shot.  
 
I wanted to post that last picture that I thought you DS fans might like to see but it seems the upload folder is still full   ***Cough, Cough, Hint, Hint***

Well, did ya see her on LOST!  Delenn, I mean.  I almost fell out of my chair when I realized who it was.  I don’t ever remember names but voices are another matter.  As soon as she started to speak I said, “I know her from somewhere.” And then it hit me, Babylon 5!  So Delenns voice wasn’t a fake accent after all!  I thought it was like Londo’s.  Wow!  Cool Beans!

Welcome back, Jason!  Always good to see a familiar icon.  You will have a party for your birthday.   Here at HHW we will celebrate your special day with party hats, ham chunks and cheese.  We will dance the horta and the swim and the twist but not all at the same time.   And then we will sit down and talk because we (well, some of us) shall be quite dizzy, I’m sure.  

SWW, I swear you should have a cooking show.  Everything you write about sounds so good.   :D  So, do I understand that  Der Brucer is bringing home some extra dough?

The thing I like best about the cooking software is that you can search for ingredients to match what you have at hand and the recipes that you can use them with.

I found I have a 2nd white four o’clock!  Several of the other boxes I planted seeds in are now growing back up and some are getting ready to flower.  I’m so excited because I can’t really remember what color was in what box now so it really will be a surprise to see what I get!

Well, BK, all I can say about your tooth is that I hope he got the tooth, the whole tooth and nothing but the tooth.  Looking at the bright side, at least you didn’t get YOUR lip split by the drill.  I can tell you that is not fun.  :(

Did I tell you that I had a really nice day today?  :D

From Nov 15th postings:

Fav political films:
All the President's Men (Which is also a good thriller)
Z
The Parallax View
Missing

and I liked Copenhagnen. I first heard it via BK's cast recording and then I bought the DVD of the PBS performance. Which has a prologue and epilogue which explains the history behind the play.

As for the date of BK's signing.. I need to go back and check the notes...

We are having problems with our satellite again so I don’t know if I will be able to stay long.  It is times like this I’m tempted to move into town where we can connect to cable.

SWW & DERBRUCER  I think that is a wonderful idea for Grandparent’s day.

Danise I’m so happy you had a good day, topped off with the one new as well as the promise of more four o’clocks to come.

Matthew have you found any more exciting LP’s?

I checked the calendar for Bruce’s NY dates without success.  I do remember he is flying home on the morning of his birthday which is Dec. 8th.

Are the cupon codes still working at deep discount dvd?

They're supposed to be good through November 20th (this Saturday).

And I forgot to mention that I received my copy (4/10 of the first 10 books!) of "Writer's Block" yesterday!  I've listened to the CD three times now...I just wish it could be the whole score!

So, BK, (not having read the book...yet), is Bus and Truck! a show that could really be written?  I've always wondered about shows within shows, movies within movies...things like that.  Could they actually be written and have a life of their own?

Michael, Christmas shopping has begun!  The week before BK's arrival is the lighting of the Rockefeller Plaza tree, but the 3 weeks before Christmas are prime shopping time.

But didn't it open at the Kennedy Center in the Opera House?
Well, yeah, but ...

OK, I had to do some digging here.  Yes, it did open at the Opera House.  Finding THAT information wasn't easy; most references are to Mass opening the Kennedy Center without saying which hall in the Center.  Even the Kennedy Center website has the detail that it was at the Opera House buried deep within layers of pages.  Confusing the issue is the detail that the work was recorded in the Concert Hall, I presume for better control of the recording's sound.

Still, Mass is neither opera nor musical.  It is a "theater piece", both outside of and in between the two forms.  Calling it by that term more successfully describes it than the pigeonholes would.  (And I appologize to any pigeons out there who take offense at my using "pigeonhole" in a dismissive context.)

Personally, I find Mass a fascinating work musically, and a vexing mess otherwise.

Yes, the signing is 12/6 at Partners & Crime in Greenwich Village.  I'll be having complete details shortly.  It's at seven o'clock.  Lots of fun people will be there, too.  I come into NY on the 5th and leave the morning of the 8th.  We will definitely be having a hainsies/kimlets get-together aside from the party.

For those without a calendar handy, 12/6 is a Monday.

Yes MS - as DRGEORGE said, those codes should be good at DeepDiscount through November 20th.

DRDANISE I am pretty sure you are correct that the Blue Whale was just a set, I don't remember it being indentified by a slide or photo of an exterior, mostly just the sign!

No, I'm pretty sure they will all be signed.  But BK said the first 10 would get something special.  Not sure what that is.

The first ten copies (in the order they were received) are numbered and signed - the first copies to be sold.  All other copies are signed and personalized.

Neither of these are really film noir,  but they are from mysteries... I'm fond of "Smoke Rings" from one of the Thin Man films.  And "By the Sea Side" as performed by Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

Actually it's called "Smoke Dreams" and it's in the second THIN MAN film, AFTER THE THIN MAN.
