In case there was any question, I was referring to the clam and taco dips!

I've had a busy video day. I started with another Poirot hour mystery. Unfortunately, I remembered the surprise ending very soon into the show, but I watched anyway just to enjoy the biplay between Sushet and his fellow actors. Wonderful.

I received a call a little earlier today from Rodzinski who told me that Brian Stokes Mitchell was in his office. Apparently he stopped by to do some press for him upcoming CD on Playbill's label. He hung out to meet the staff- Rodzinski said that he was most gracious and friendly.

DR Elmore - The latter.

And now I believe I will watch Season 2 Disc 2 of Alias and get some sewing done. Toddles!

Well, I'm not afraid to admit when I've been wrong...

I just played the OCR of THE WEDDING SINGER and I really, really like it. It's not Sondheim, but the score is energetic, catchy, emotionally infectious and gives you the gist of the story. The performances are spot on, too.

I had been pretty dismissive of this show, but now I'm interested in seeing it (though not before I take in DWOWSY CHAPERONE.)

Matt H. · « **Reply #127 on:** June 13, 2006, 01:22:01 PM »

DR TCB, what a terrible story! I'm sorry you were SO conscientious, but then, it WAS flattering to be asked, so you can take some small measure of comfort from that.

I've only been asked once to replace someone, but I had three weeks' notice. That was for MY THREE ANGELS.

Matt H. · « **Reply #128 on:** June 13, 2006, 01:23:56 PM »

Then while I waited for the mail, I put in COLOR ME BARBRA. Have always loved the song selection on this show, and Barbra has never been in better voice. Enjoyed seeing it again.

Matt H. · « **Reply #129 on:** June 13, 2006, 01:29:18 PM »

The mail finally arrived, and I did get the first season of THE WILD WILD WEST, so I put in the first disc and watched the pilot episode: "Night of the Inferno."

What am entrance Robert COnrad makes: brought into a room strong-armed and with a ripped shirt showing a beautifully hairy chest. The man knew well what SOME of his assets were.

The episode was simply wonderful with great guest stars (Suzanne Pleshette, Victor Buono, Nehemiah Persoff, James Gregory), surprises galore, and very expensive for a pilot filmed in the 1960s. (In his commentary, Conrad said it cost almost $800,000 for that pilot). And the show looks great, like it was filmed yesterday. I saw one small scratch and that was all. The rest was terrific looking.

Matt H. · « **Reply #130 on:** June 13, 2006, 01:31:43 PM »

Then I put in I WAKE UP SCREAMING. I got about 55 minutes watched, but phone calls kept interrupting my viewing so I didn't quite get finished. I should be able to finish it later with no problem since neither LESS THAN PERFECT nor BOSTON LEGAL comes on tonight. (The NBA is on tonight.)

I will watch RESCUE ME at 10.

I listened to the first half yesterday, and I also admit that I enjoyed it. I grew up when this style of music was popular (the 1980s) and have a fondness for it...especially when the music is all so "happy."

Anyway, what I was trying to say was that it never warmed up here today. It stayed overcast and cool all morning, and then it rained in the early afternoon thus keeping the cloud cover and cool temperatures. It hasn't gotten out of the high 60s all day. For me, this is bliss for June.

Matt H. · « **Reply #138 on:** June 13, 2006, 02:20:23 PM »

Now, I'm off to clean the living room and then back to Betty Grable and Victor Mature being stalked by Laird Cregar.

I just found out that the newest John Abraham Bollywood movie WATER is playing this weekend at Portland's HOLLYWOOD THEATER! Guess where I will be Saturday evening!

Of course I had to go up to Portland anyway as it is Pride weekend and my buddies want to go up there to play.

I've done errands, picked up the Spirtas DVD to proof (it hasn't been uprezzed yet, so it looks like caca), but except for just three things, I'm pretty happy with act one so far.

Don't know if I mentioned this, but I stopped in Petco today and they have a calico that is the mirror image of Callie. her name is Daisy...I could have Callie Sue and Daisy Mae! Petco gets their cats from the Humane Society and is the only no-kill place in town so she'll be there unless someone else adopts her. Think I'll see how Callie does in the next few days and I may do it.

I just listened to the second act of The Wedding Singer's original Broadway cast recording and BK's influence is there! They have a short (15 second) hidden track! There's about 30 seconds of silence at the end of the last track and then there's the bit. Very cute.

Good Afternoon!

So far, it's been a rather lazy, peaceful, quiet day. Just taking my time getting some things done - grocery shopping, drop some shirts off at the cleaners, a few loads of laundry here, sorting through mail, etc.

...Which is just what I needed after yesterday... Well, after Tony night... Been a nice day to catch up on my sleep and to get things back in order.
