Be careful if anyone signs you up for an apprenticeship DR Ann.

...dad's 8th birthday...

8th?!
I know that puberty hits young these days, but this is just ridiculous! ;)

Since you came from the Sondheim board - do you have all the Sondheim albums I produced?  Yes or no?

Well, not all, but I did just get "A Broadway Christmas" for eight bucks at Food Town!  ...Which I think is pretty darn cool.

Tomovoz - I have no idea of the time difference between here (LA) and Australia. I could look it up, I suppose, but why bother when I can ask you, which is so much easier and more fun. So  -- what time is it?

Okay, I guess I won't find out the time in Australia until tomorrow.
I was going to go to bed to read an hour ago and I'm still sitting in front of the computer. And now it is no longer early for bed. An hour ago was early for bed. Now it's nothing special. And I still haven't eaten the cereal I was planning to eat before I went early to bed. The cereal box is sitting her on top of my desk like so much fish.
So I'll say good-night, eat some cereal and read.

Yes, my dad's 8th birthday... some 22 years before I was born. :)

Anna Kendricks was one of the highlights of My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies. She sang Life Upon the Wicked stage and she was backd up by the then current Kit Kat Klub Girls from Cabaret. A amussingly staged version

Tonight's Dinner - Campbell's Soup - Beef, Portabella Mushroom and Rice.  Not quite "Mmm Mmm Good" - but at least "Mmm Good".  ;)

-I was at the grocery, there's a slight chill in the air, and I felt like soup... so...

Dream Dates:
John F. Kennedy - Always had a fascination with him.  When I was in grade school, we always had some sort of project around the anniversary of his assassination.  -And, as it turned out, November 22 is also the anniversary of my "coming out".

Nadia Boulanger - Just to meet someone who influenced almost every major composer in the first part of this century.

DR Michael Shayne - I thought for a sec that your new pic was the new logo for the Roundabout Assassins.  -It's a little menacing... unsettling... in a gun pointing-at-you way.

I just notice that MGM home video has released the film Camp. I think maybe Arthur Freed might be turning over in his grave.

Like I said before it was from the tv series Sirens, but I think I will remove it as people have found it unsettling

OOHH!!!

Semi-Random Thought at 1:37AM EST -

What was that game show/reality show from the early 80's (?) that was hosted by Peter Marshall and Leslie Uggams?  "Fantasy" - ???  It was a "make your dream come true" type of show.  However, the segment I remember was a makeover of this one guy.  The transformation was so drastic, even a few of his relatives didn't recognize him.  Heck, even I thought they had substituted another person.  -It was one of those "really long hair" to "really short hair" makeovers.

I believe Leslie Uggams also won an Emmy for that show

Oh.. Wasn't really asking for it to be taken off...

I guess it was the fact that the avatar was kind of blurry... that added air of mystery so to speak.

Do you have a non-blurry version you could post?   One where we would be able to see your face?

Actually no. This was taken from a distance so that the whole set  the front of the police station could be seen. I don't remember if I have any other photos from the show. My mother recently visited me and surprised me with them.

OH!!  -Again...

When I went to see In America (again) yesterday, I noticed lobby cards for:

Walking Tall - With "The Rock" - Did this movie need to be re-made?  And with "The Rock"?
and
Dawn of the Dead - Hasn't this one already been re-made?

Bring along your chem homework, so you and der Brucer can work on it together.

(I'll have to make another batch for when Panni arrives... by the time her cross-country flight arrives, the original will be gone!   ;D)

PS: They came out better than ever!  Along with my usual additions to the Tollhouse recipe (2 T molasses, 1/2 t cinnamon) I added a tablespoon of cocoa powder and extra chips and nuts.  The result is a chewier cookie, because of the molasses, with a bit more flavor than the original and lots more chunky bits.  

I was scraping the bottom of the mixing bowl when I got to the last cookie, so I dug back in the bag of walnuts and pulled out a perfect half, which I placed right in that cookie's center.  Let's see if that's the one der Brucer grabs in the morning!

And I'm guessing tomorrow, even though it's technically Free-For-All day will be Oscar Picks and Predictions Day too?

-Maybe we can have an HHW Oscar Pool!

I can bake cookies for the winner!  And if I win, then DR SWW can bake cookies for me!

Or we can all bake cookies for the winner and send them to him or her!!

Late night trivia question:

What do Robert Redford, George C Scott, Martin Lawrence, Christopher Lee, Paul la Matt all have in common?

Clue: A Movie connection.

It's nothing anatomical

In Walking Tall the Rock is not even playing Buford Pusser!!! Also the remake is far too high tech in my opinion for the simple small town corruption of the original

For the past many years I have never watched the Oscars live. I always tape them and watch them that way. I simply fast foward through and can generally watch the whole show within 45 minutes to a hour. Sometimes stopping to watch something in real time if it looks interesting
