Yes, DR Ginny, and I'm the correct weight for a person who's 9'4" tall!

Which one of us do you not believe, dear DR Elmore - Meryl or me?

In the very unlikely event Meryl Streep ever calls me for an arrangement I think I will remain neutral.

Sorry DR George I didn't realise you still had the wig.

Back to the Hairspray movie - I loved the costumes! I kept expecting to see my sister's senior prom dress and my 8th grade graduation dress.

My copy of Sacco and Vanzetti has been shipped.

The problem with NYMF is it has become something it was not intended to be - about "names." They want to send out a press release touting the "name" performers in the shows (never mind that I've seen the list and haven't heard of half these people), and that's not what this festival started out to be about - it was about the SHOWS, not the cast members. Pity the show that just decided to get the best possible people for each role - if they're not "names" they won't be in the press release - I've written NYMF and talked to the overall PR guy, who is a big fan of mine and he totally gets what I'm saying, so that, at least, is good. So, it somehow becomes that the shows to see are the shows with the "names" which is hardly what it should be about. Names are great but the shows that don't have them (and I don't count myself as one of those shows, since Barry Pearl has more credits on his little finger than most of these people will have in their lives, and Alet is not exactly chopped liver) should not suffer because I'm sure there are good shows that don't have names and people should see them and not be waylaid by lists that, in the long run, are meaningless - the play's the thing.

That's very cool, Tom and great that you are a part of the tree! As you should be!

The names that influenced my choice of NYMF shows are Bruce, Larry, Cason, Noel, Fred, and Skip.

That ain't no wig, it's a helmet with plastic fruit hot-glued to it...and it was heavy!

I think I saw that Larry guy at a show last year. He may have been playing the role of Mother Theresa. It's been 11 months since I was there so I may be wrong.

FJL · « **Reply #288 on:** August 20, 2007, 04:06:07 PM »

Bruce - regarding that list of shows with names in them, almost all of the shows listed with "names" on that list are from the Next Link portion of the productions as opposed to the Invited Works, which makes logical sense since the Next Link shows have known that they were in NYMF much longer than the Invited works. So logically the Next Links would be finished with their casting process sooner than the Inviteds.

BK has mentioned cucumber rolls a couple times. Would someone pls tell me what that is?

Cucumbers are basically cylindrical. If you place one on a slope or ramp so that it's long edge is level, the cucumber will roll down the slope.

(Another example of wierd cashier humor.

Sorry for venting, but had I known all this beforehand I simply would have said no, or I would not have let my casting guy talk me out of beginning casting the third week of July - he fought to wait until two weeks ago, saying we had a better chance of getting people without conflicts. Sadly, that has proven not to be the case and several good people were snapped up before I came into town. And it didn't help to be jerked around by an actress for over a week.

TOD:

As an adult I was at my lowest of 135 (after leaving the hospital after a bout with Hepatitis).

The first time I quit smoking I went from 156 to 196 in no time at all. I lost all the excess poundage in two ways; first a live-style chance of replacing Budweiser with Miller Lite (and at an average of 4-5 cans per day, that adds up). I also had my own loose-weight diet - steak, fresh tomatoes, and lots of cucumbers!

The next big weight surge came the second time I quit smoking - I had been in the hospital with double pneumonia and an esophageal infection; I couldn't swallow well, and lost lots of weight; I had trouble inhaling, so I couldn't smoke. When I was discharged, I considered starting smoking again - but I realized that the four weeks of forced abstinence had put me over the hurdle of nicotine withdrawal - resumption seemed just stupid! The Doctor was greatly concerned about my weight loss (funny thing, that not-eating stuff) and insisted putting me on a high fat/high-protein diet. The dietician urged me to eat lots of donuts, bowls of ice cream and milk shakes. Well, not smoking and that diet got me over 200lbs in record time!

Now, I eat what I want and reside comfortably at around 185 - where is right where the Doc wants me.

Of course, I still have those great double-knit leisure suits with 30" waist pants I long to wear again.

My cooking helps with the weight, of course.

And I thought you left most of those leisure suits back in Long Beach!

But we all knew this:

Blue-eyed people better off, say scientists

PEOPLE with blue eyes are likely to achieve more in life than those with brown, say US scientists.

Scientists who conducted the tests said brown-eyed people performed better at reaction time, but those with lighter eyes appeared to be better strategic thinkers, the Daily Mail reported.

But what about those of us with green eyes? Or grey?

Both of which are rarer eye colors than brown or that conventional blue.
