I would welcome some vibes, but I don't want to alarm anyone with today's traumatic events; so, let's just say that I need a few injury vibes from my friends the DRs of HHW.

 :o

I'm guessing it's more than a stubbed toe, but less than full-body traction.

Sorry, Ron, but I since I doubt that you watch/listen to O'Reilly more than once a year, I can't count on your scorecard as being accurate.


Sorry, S. Woody, but since Mr. O'Reilly has never said an "honest" word on the air that I have ever heard, I have to tell you you are probably correct -- my life and my sanity are far too precious than to subject myself to that man's verbal farts!

TCB - Thanks for asking.   The three workshop performances in Issaquah are still scheduled for around Memorial Day weekend.  The director and we are dithering and dathering and hemming and hawing about whether they should be Thursday-Saturday-Sunday (maybe, just maybe, giving us time to do some tweaking between Thursday and Saturday, since the cast will apparently be on book) or Friday-Saturday-Sunday (giving us an all-weekend run, which might have other benefits).  The theater hasn't been putting any pressure on any of us to just decide on the performance schedule already, and I think they don't really need that much lead time to start selling tickets - it's a smallish theater, 250 or so seats.  They announced that we're doing the workshop in a newsletter to their donors, but we're still two months away.

Well...  Now I've caught up with "American Idol" - some surprises, but no real shockers...

My eyes are tired.

Goodnight.

Der B has a doctor's appointment for early tomorrow, so I'd better get to bed so I can get him up in time.

So, you admit you "skipped" gym all through high school?  Is this the kind of example you want to set for the Vixter?



(Do the math, it's actually a complement!)

I know ... since that was the end of college gym for me!! Thanks!

I am looking forward to hearing how this progresses!  

I love your show!

Paul has an opening for his art exhibit at the Sioux City Art Center on Friday. He is a basket case, lol. He's really very well known and respected as an artist locally, but his show is more about his stencil graffiti, litter art etc that he was doing in New York City back in the early 80s.  It's pretty funny actually, right when the city is trying to stamp out graffiti and litter, they are honoring Paul for graffiti and litter.  Here's a link to the show.  http://www.siouxcityartcenter.org/exhibitions/introduction.asp?key=141  
There is also a link to images and an essay.

 It's nothing like what he does now, so it's really fun to see a part of his history.  He has friends from all over the country flying in to be here. It will be a very interesting weekend.

Tonight he begged me to go out for a drink. I went but ended up eating instead of drinking.  So, I'll have to make up for that tomorrow.  He is working so hard to put this together and is so worried about everything. I"ll be glad when the day finally gets here

I hope it's nothing too serious, DR td, and that you feel better/get better very quickly.

I finished HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE. I've watched it many, many times, but I think this is only the second or third time I've seen it on Blu-ray. Superb picture and with that uncompressed 5.1 soundtrack, impressive!

After that, I watched, of all things, BATMAN - THE MOVIE. No, not the Tim Burton movie with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson.

No, this is the 1966 Adam West-Burt Ward BATMAN movie made between the second and third seasons of the show. I had read that Fox is going to put this out on Blu-ray this summer, and since I had it but had only watched it once years ago, I thought I'd watch it again upconverted.

It's not a good movie, and it's actually the TV series stretched out to almost two hours with the four top villains of the show all crammed into one movie. A mess. Yes, there are some funny bits, and it's nice to see the TV trappings in a wider frame and with excellent color. But those wider trappings also reveal the tattiness of the standing sets like the Bat Cave.

Anyway, this version will do just fine. It actually looked superb upconverted. Not a movie I would watch that much more often just becuase it was on Blu-ray, so I'll pass on it.

One movie that came today was the HD-DVD of two ROAD movies with Hope and Crosby. I chose THE ROAD TO BALI, and it looked really superb. The movie has been in the public domain for a long time, and the DVD I had was really rather crummy with a soft picture and a soundtrack that sounded very worn.

The HD-DVD version of BALI looked and sounded wonderful. This one has excellent songs in it ("Moonflowers," "To See You Is to Love You," "The Merry-Go-Run-Around"), and the sharpness and Technicolor saturation was all one could hope for.

I also peeped at THE ROAD TO RIO (on the same disc), and it looked rather weak. The telecine operator didn't have enough contrast on the image so it looked overly dim. Sharp enough but the blacks are all washed out. The DVD I have of this looks much better in terms of contrast and grayscale. I may put the DVD on tomorrow just to make sure my memory isn't faulty.

I skimmed through the IDOL results. How sad that only one of the three in the bottom three was one of the weakest last night. The one going home has never been a favorite but this singer was certainly not the worst one last night.

However, as Paula said, somebody's going to go home, and I'd be surprised if ANY of these three have a real shot at winning, so it's no great loss.

I do hate that the two singers with the worst pitch problems will be back again next week. Ugh!

DR BrettySpaghetti - Did you catch Paul Rudnick's column in "The New Yorker" a couple of weeks ago?  It was a great account about the inspiration and creation of I Hate Hamlet.

Dang, I missed that! But I subscribe to the NYer, and haven't thrown an issue away for about two years, so I'll go hunt it down. Thanks!
