When I was at Miami University, there was a married director who was notorious for giving the football players in his speech class, as well as several handsome actors in his productions, "breathing lessons."  


Are these "lessons" ones in which  the director has the student flat on his back and, using his hand(s), "shows him" where he should be breathing from...as the hand moves from the diaphragm to the stomach to the pelvis regions?

Hmmmm......my first question for this ASK BK day.....which film do you think was most successfully (creatively speaking) turned into a television series?

My first vote goes to PEYTON PLACE with MASH a close second.

I think ALL IN THE FAMILY could be added to the list.  Even though it was directly based from the British TV series, the characters and their relationships are derived as much from Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin's NEVER TOO LATE.

I think "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" is a major contender.

Peyton Place was fun.  My fave was The Thin Man, however.

Back from the jog - I thought I was going to DIE.  Now it's 95 degrees at nine-thirty in the morning.  I'd just better start jogging at seven.

I have no idea what was involved.  It was all highly suspicious and I doubt the administration would have approved.  I'm sure several grade point averages were helped out via these instructions.  Sounds kind of like Dr Pangloss and Paquette, n'est-ce pas?

MY HOUSE IS GETTING COOLER BY THE MOMENT!!!!!!!

of course I am at work now, so I won't be able to enjoy it until later, but I turned the thermostat way down. I figure all the furniture etc is hot and needs to cool down. It will be frosty when I get home...then I'll set it normally.   Once we fired it up (can you fire up something that is cold) I couldn't believe how fast the house began cooling down and how cold the air was coming out of the vents.  

This is my best Birthday present this year...even if I do have to pay for it.

During the weekend I came across an old cassette tape that was released around 1985 called THE PRIDE OF PORTLAND. The cassette was produced locally in Portland using local talent such as Nu Shooz, Dan Reed Network, Crazy 8's, Cal Scott, and other singers and bands from the area...anywho, when I bought it waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when I only listend to two songs on it which I loved...but now that I have this rental car which has only a cassette player in it I have been listening to the cassette...boy Portland had some great pop music talent back  in the 80s!!!

Two of the songs on the cassette got a lot of airplay, although likely only locally and the whole thing was done to raise money "For African and Oregon Hunger Relief" and featured the hit song KEEP GIVING TO THE WORLD by the Pride of Portland chorus (which was made up of local celebs from the sports, political, music, and broadcasting world).

Oh, the point of the above post was that I love this cassette now, but it is so worn (being over 20 years old) that I need to try and find another copy (it is, unfortunately,  pre-CD  ::) )

It was a coaching.  Not a lesson.

And speaking of Tab Hunter (he's in the movie ;)), yesterday was his birthday and he turned 75 years old.

...There was a voice teacher at my college who tried teaching proper breathing technique by having his young female students take off their shirts/blouses/etc., and stand there in their bras.  He would then ask them to place a Kleenex over their chest.  The goal was to make the Kleenex not move - which meant that you were properly breathing from your diaphragm.  However, that also meant that the young girls had to keep their chests stuck out.  Hmm... :-\

-Whatever happened to just dropping a pencil on the floor?   "Could you pick that up for me?"

That's what happens when you let heterosexual choir masters around young girls!

THE LOVED ONE is a favorite of mine, and it was on TV just a couple weeks ago. What I noticed watching it is that so much of the dialogue was dubbed. And one of the characters played by Jonathan Winters has a different dubbed name than whatever they called him when filming. They call him "Will" but their mouths are saying something else.
