...I...need....caffeine.  Now.

I had 5 hours of sleep last night, and I didn't have a chance to take a nap this afternoon.  Maybe I'll just buy one of those nasty energy drinks or something.  Even though I think they (Red Bull especially) taste like cough syrup.

Jane--oh, my hair WAS big, it just doesn't show in that pic.  I'll have more in a week or so (though I don't know yet about any camisole ones; if I had any, I'd be too modest to post them...sorry Jed, lol).

CDs--"Sunday in the Park with George" OCR, "Passion" OCR, "Lolita, My Love" (yes, I know it wasn't technically recorded, hehe), "Street Scene" OCR and I'm now listening to "On The Twentieth Century."  LOVE this score!!!  

DVD--"House of Sand and Fog"

VHS--nothing recently.  
 

Yes, he's admitted his error, finally.  But not based on the evidence we supplied.  Still, it's nice that he's avoiding where I would have gone next.  My question to RLP: Did Joe e-mail you?

DR Jed has just oh so kindly pointed out to me that of COURSE it would be the Tony Tanner version if I had it in my VCR, since it's the only version out on video.  Just had to say that yes, I was aware of that fact, and no, I will not modify my post to correct the error

Argh!!  Now he tells me that there ARE two other versions on video, and it WASN'T wrong of me to specify...sigh...I need some more coffee...

Alright, TCB, you just got yourself nominated for Father of the Year, good sir!!!

Never forget, my dear Jed, that guilt works every time.

"Street Scene" OCR and I'm now listening to "On The Twentieth Century."  LOVE this score!!!  

DR Maya, is it the Broadway recording of "Street Scene" with Anne Jeffreys?   I'm partial to the complete English National Opera recording on TER/JAY, which has Catherine Zeta Jones doing "Moon Faced Starry Eyed."

What role were you doing in WHERE'S CHARLEY?

                It's such a lazy kinda day today.

So what do all of you Apprentice-philes think about the Omarosa the Mole rumor now?

I can only hope that she really is a mole.  It would make a lot of sense.  I would HATE to think that someone that incompetent or that much of an avoider-of-work (especially under the 24-hour video taping watched by Donald Trump himself) would be able to get where she had in life.

SAMMY STOPS THE WORLD is even worse than you've heard and I'm surprised I didn't remember it on bad movie musicals day.  I made the mistake of seeing it live.  What a waste of the wonderful, talented Marian (or is it Marion?)  Mercer.  Whatever happened to her.  I first saw has as Little Mary Sunshine (not the drag queen in CHICAGO) and followed her career for years.  She seems to have dropped out of sight in the early 80s.

She was on a live recording of J. Edgar!:  The Musical as J. Edgar's mother in 1994.  It's available from L. A. Theatre Works and is abolutely hysterical!

As for the Topic of the Day:

CD player at work:  "Barry Manilow:  The Complete Collection and Then Some..." (I bought this when it was first release about 12 years ago, but have never listened to it...until now)

In DVD player:  "Mambo Italiano" is a very cute movie.  "Angelo Barberini is the oddball son of Italian immigrants Gino and Maria, who inadvertently ended up in Canada rather than the States. Angelo shocks his parents by moving out on his own without getting married, and shocks them further still when he reveals that he's gay. But his boyfriend, policeman Nino Paventi isn't as ready to come out of the closet -- especially not to his busybody mother, Lina."

Yes, that's the episode.

Marian Mercer was in the workshop of Wicked that I attended.  She was Morrible.

Media Check:

VHS: A couple of episodes of the TV series LARAMIE (one episode guest starring Ms. Allison Hayes) and THE GIRL FROM 10TH AVE. starring Ms. Bette Davis.

CD: INSTRUMENTAL GOLD. I kept seeing this one advertised on a cable station and finally sprung for it! Some of my favorite popular instrumental hits...MOONGLOW...PATRICIA...CANADIAN SUNSET...EBB TIDE...LOVE THEME FROM ROMEO AND JULIET...THIRD MAN THEME...

DVD:A few more episodes of U.S. MARSHALL.

and my Bollywood DVD for the week...LOVE IN TOKYO! Asha Parekh as an East Indian who dances on Japanese variety shows and JOy Mukherjee as the East Indian young man who falls in love with her when he sees her dance on a Japanese Variety show. Filmed on location in Japan! A cute little musical comedy which has a most gruesome ending which reminds me more of some Herschel Gordon Lewis film like BLOOD FEAST!!!!

Now that I inhaled handfuls of Boston Baked Beans I’m lamenting I ordered them.  I was so good and, for the first time in years, didn’t order any in December for stocking stuffers.  But who had to go & mention them as a favorite childhood candy?   Thank goodness half my order is for my son in Portland. The thing is, now that they are here I have decided I prefer the pretty metallic Jordon Almonds from Portland.  

Maya, will go out in front of several hundred people in an audience of strangers in camisole but she's too modest to post one here for her friends.  Actors have no modesty.  In the interest of none-modesty, yours truly:

So what's the play?
