Well, you've read the notes, the notes were quite, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they'll be home just as soon as they use the word quite one hundred more times.

Good morning, all!  Today's picotee is Earl Gray.

I had a pleasant evening reading Armond Fields' biography of Fred Stone, even though there are several big errors in it according to Stone's autobiography ROLLING STONE.  I finished THE NANNY DIARIES two nights ago and I think I will begin a Ruth Rendell's NO NIGHT IS TOO LONG.  

Today, I have trips to Toyland and NYPL, and I need to think about Christmas choral arrangements.  "Tis the season.

Nothing to do with the TOTD:

We just finished watching UK film "DISTANT VOICES - STILL LIVES" (1988).

IMHO a wonderful example of what film can achieve when a vision is realised and supported with such craftsmanship. The movie was recommended to me by a very good friend in London. I was only able to locate a copy on video - from the U S of A.

Thursday morning greetings!  It's cool and humid here today.

Thanks to DRs Vixmom, Cillaliz, and DakotaCelt for the travel vibes.  My mom and I are looking forward to this little trip.

TOD - One of my college jobs, in which I only lasted a week, was working in a local bakery.  Angie, who had been there forever, liked to sell Barbarian Creme doughnuts.

Good morning DR Ginny.  And Goodnight.

I shall not be partaking of DR Elmore's Earl Gray - close to my least favourite of teas.

LOL DR Ginny.

A common one here is "all goes well' instead of "augurs well".  

Casting nasturiums is almost accepted these days as being an appropriate (a BK reference) saying!

Good morning, fellow Dear Readers. The day after a storm is always cool and humid. Today it is a nippy 81F at 5 a.m., so I am going for a nice walk to enjoy the cool weather.

LOL, DR DearReaderLaura - when my mom lived in Phoenix, she'd call here and complain about how "muggy" it was out there, "The humidity's up to 12%!"

OK, all, I'm about to disconnect my computer for the long weekend.  Pardon my E&T-ness, should it occur.

Bye for now!

On the TOD, I've always gotten a good chuckle out of our president's pronounciation of the word nuclear.  Or as he has been known to say nucular.  It's good to know that the man with his hand over the button cannot properly say what it is he controls.

I am off work today, but hope to get plenty done.  I've got to head to the gym, do a load of laundry, hit the grocery store, and get some sewing done.  Later tonight I'll head to the tmobile store to see about upgrading my phone, and then dinner with a good friend to celebrate our graduation.

Hi, T.

I saw that Edward Hibbert is scheduled to do Curtains in LA. Does that mean he's leaving Drowsy Chaperone???

Must return to the Bristol Myers Foundation.

I've spent this morning cruising various job websites, looking for interesting job posting.  And at the Jewish Board website I was that they had just reposted the job I'd been interviewing for.  I'm guessing that it's gonna be a while before I hear back from them. :)

What kills me is that there are two jobs outside the agency I would love to submit my resume for- but if I were hired, I would chance having to pay back my stipend.  Maybe I will go ahead and submit myself anyway.

BK, that is such wonderful, wonderful, wonderful (that is 3 wonderfuls) news about FLOWER DRUM SONG finally coming out! Yippee!

And in other wonderful DVD news...here is a nifty review of the new release of BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (one of my favorite movies) http://www.dvddrive-in.com/reviews/a-d/beyondthevalleydolls70.htm ....the niftiest part of this release is the multitude of extras...many of the cast members have been brought back for several different commentaries and interviews...I cannot believe how many extras are on this release!!

And I had always wondered what had become of Marcia McBroom...it seems she left Hollywood way back when and went to New York...so I am curious to know if any New Yorkers have ever seen her in anything?

Good morning!

It was overcast and cool when I got up around 8:30 this morning, but the sun is pepping out now, and it promises to heat up in a short amount of time. Showers predicted for this afternoon.

Yes, I'm thrilled with the news about FLOWER DRUM SONG. It can't come soon enough to satisfy me! I can finally pitch that letterboxed videotape taken from an AMC broadcast (before they started showing commercials) into the trash.

As for malaprops, I can't think of any special ones that have stuck in my mind, but for a show that uses them expertly, watch the MY NAME IS EARL marathon tonight on NBC. Earl's ex-wife Joy can't open her mouth without malaprops tumbling out in fine fashion.

I've been overdosing on musicals the last week or so, so today will be musical-free. As I mentioned last night, I'll try to get to Bette Davis' OLD ACQUAINTANCE today, but I have Paul Newman's HUD on tap first. Haven't seen it in a long time, so I'm looking forward to seeing this DVD. Hopefully Paramount did right by it.

Hiya -

It's cloudy again today. Sheesh. Two beautiful days of blue skies and sun, and then at least 2 and probably more days of drizzle and overcast and (oh, Penny, bitch and moan!) and grey. (Let's whine a little, why don't we?)

Anyhow - the job I sent in my (gi-normous) application for back at the beginning of April... I got a call that my interview is June 27. And I have an even-more gi-normous presentation to make, in ten minutes of the hour-long meeting. Said presentation is: you have a 5-show season, and $200K to do it with. Pick 5 Broadway--style musicals, relevant to the area demographic. Explain: Which shows and why; and how do you budget the money?

I have tentatively begun to work out a season... but I am woefully unaware of smaller shows... as in, without large singer/dancer choruses. Recent seasons included small shows like Forever Plaid. Company. Got some ideas??? Please help me with this research!!!

BK, re: selling the DECEIT dvd.

I'm sure Days of Our Lives has some fan sites. And i'm sure many people there would buy the dvd.  Also, once it comes out you should give it to Matt to take with him to promotional events.
