TOD: I love Carol of the Bells, it's a little eerie and appeals to my darkside.  I also like Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep sung by Rosemary Clooney, and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas sung by Judy Garland.

It's after 8:30 p.m. and FedEx just delivered a package, which is I guess above and beyond the call of duty to still be working at 8:30 to make sure the deliveries get made despite the transit strike.  This is as opposed to UPS which, even before noon Tuesday, had already reclassified a "Next Day Air" package as rescheduled for delivery on Wednesday and puttting a proviso on their website that the Next Day guarantee is not applicable when there's a local transportation problem.

I have a ride to work tomorrow! Well to my internship so that I can work with the kids.  Still no good way to get to GMHC, so no income for me this week. :(

I'm sorry you are loosing your pay-check, but am so happy you have a ride to your internship and the kids. :)

As many DRs here know, CAROL OF THE BELLS is my most favorite Christmas song! And I like any version of it!

"Carol of the Bells" is a pretty cool song to sing, too!  I've sung it several times in various choirs over the years. ;D

Hello, everyone!

I love Holiday Inn. Oh, boy!

I'm sitting in the Extended Stay America in Bellevue WA, having just gotten in to SEATAC, rented a car, driven up to the cabin to check on things, get a few items, water the plants, and get back here before dark, which happens before 4:30.

Now I find I have free wireless internet!!! Oh, the holiday spirit!

Elmore!! I read your semi-rant about folks as don't learn the lines the author wrote, with great jollity. I, myself, am working on perfecting 18 lines of the Great Bard, for tomorrow. I think I would want to strangle myself with a bloody clout, were I to mess wit his verse.

Welcome back to Washington!  How long are you staying?  I'm just south of you in Olympia.  Jed, Ann and TCB are in Tacoma...maybe we can have a mini-HHW-meeting?? ;D

Oh, honee - I won't be staying long. Gotta get back on the plane tomorrow evening for LA. But by February or March I'll be up for longer, and then we'll get together - a little Valentine's Day or St. Paddy's Day bash, perhaps?

Penny I guess you won’t be stopping for a visit on your way home. ;D

I think flying was a much better idea.  We will see you next time, or before then in LA.

I watched the (inadequate) special features on LIFE WITH JUDY GARLAND first this evening. Because there was such attention to detail with the costumes in particular, I'd love to have had the costume designer discuss the painstaking efforts to duplicate the wardrobe from Garland's films and personal life. Nothing mentioned about it.

Next up was WHITE NOISE. I have no idea if there is any validity to these voices from beyond communicating with the living via static on TVs and radios, but this movie certainly didn't help the cause.

I'll admit there was a second or two of genuine suspense, but much of it was melodramtic drivel, and I found the ending most unsatisfactory.

Christmas songs:

I always thought this song sounded like it was about a hooker.

Better entertainment was had with another round of MURDER SHE WROTE episodes featuring the likes of Edward Mulhare, Hurd Hatfield, Karen Black, Jerry Orbach, Vic Tayback, Carrie Snodgress, Monte Markham, Ann Jeffreys, and Robert Sterling.

Good Evening!

Well...  We started our "Caroling for a Cure" drive tonight.  Members of the cast are singing carols in the lobby after the show, and members of the audience are "invited" to make donations.  We're collecting for two organizations: Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, and Food & Friends (a D.C.-based organization).  *And for just a $20 donation, you can have a poster autographed by the company.

**The last time we did this - which was during Camelot - we collected just over $20,000(!!!) in just two weeks!!!!

Well...

Tonight was the first night of the collection drive.  I was instructed to stop the orchestra after the Bows so that the curtain speech could be made.  So...

I stopped the orchestra.  Then I kept hearing the applause going.  But no one on stage was stepping forward to make the curtain speech.  More applause.  And then some laughing.  And then a couple of cast members started singing "Heart"....

OHH!!!!!!  After ALL of the Bows!!!!

So, I started pounding out the intro for the final "Heart", and, thankfully, the rest of orchestra jumped in.  We finished, then Brad Oscar stepped forward to make the curtain speech.

Meanwhile, I'm making the big ole "L" on my forehead down in the pit.  LOSER!

;D

-But I have to say, it's nice to know the orchestra follows me.

;)

...And my Secret Santa gave me yet MORE dark chocolate tonight.  I just wish I could enjoy it right now.  However, I plan to enjoy some of it on Christmas Day.

;)

*And he/she also gave me a set of craft scissors - the type that make different patterns when you cut with them - sort of like pinking shears.  Cool gift.  -And one of the pairs makes a cut that looks like you've torn the paper.  Who'd of thunk?
