And one for Mahler

(since COMPANY is back on Broadway, and possibly as a great big hit)

Good morning!

My lord, we have gone back to Indian summer. It was so warm this morning, I could have gon out in shirt sleeves and not been cold. At lunch today, I'll be wearing a short sleeved shirt and no undershirt; that's how warm and MUGGY it is here. Unbelievable!

It is 36F outside. We usually get this cold the week of Christmas and it is the extent of our cold weather in the desert.

I really loathe most of Andrew Lloyd Webber's music and shows, so my affection for EVITA surprises even me. I do think it's a marvelous piece of theater, and even parts of the movie worked for me (the Antonio Banderas parts).

My favorite song of his is "Tell Me on a Sunday." I also like "Only You" from STARLIGHT EXPRESS (though the show was the biggest waste of time and money I've ever sat through).

Very happy about SCRUBS returning to the air tonight, and the entire NBC line-up of comedy episodes tonight got raves from both TV GUIDE and USA TODAY critics.

THE OFFICE's episode was written by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant who created the show in England and who are big fans of the US incarnation. The USA TODAY critic said it's the best of the four comedies on NBC tonight.

I don't know from Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Matt H. · « **Reply #37 on:** November 30, 2006, 08:07:23 AM »

I only have one hour of TV recorded from last night (CSI: NY), so I'll be DVDing it most of the day until tonight's slate of shows comes on.

At least NBC and ABC have new episodes to present to us. CSI is a rerun, and both of CW's thrillers (SMALLVILLE, SUPERNATURAL) are also repeats.

Well then, DR George will have the perfect fashion ensemble...if it's not wet, that is.

Sorry about your flood, George!

I don't know too many of the ALW shows. Despite my love of cats, I could never get interested in listening to the whole score to CATS, much less seeing the show.

But I do love Superstar, in all its over-the-cheesy Jesusiness. And the most recent PBS version, with the cool fetish wardrobe!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #40 on:** November 30, 2006, 08:28:36 AM »

Andrew Lloyd Webber has written some lovely melodies. "Music of the Night", though way overexposed by now, is truly lovely, IMO.

Unlike DR TomovOz, I prefer "Jesus Christ, Superstar" to nearly everything else ALW has done. Perhaps, DR TomovOz...."Could we start again, please?"

I love several "moments" in the "Evita" cast album. And some of the songs are quite clever, IMO.

I'm up, I'm up - at least I got seven hours of sleep, which hopefully will help. I'll try for more tomorrow.

I nodded off several times last night while, gamely, trying to watch "Medium."

I should have taped it, but I was muleheadedly certain I was alert. Things were fine until about halfway through.

I did see the denouement and conclusion, however. I do hope we have no more of the errant/evil doctor.

bk · « **Reply #43 on:** November 30, 2006, 08:30:23 AM »

I must try to jog pre errand or I fear I won't have time. On the other hand, baby, it's COLD outside.

Elmoore, vibes for a great flight to California. See you in Hollywood next week!! Woohoo!

Anyway, here's a picture of my living room. :

Judging strictly from a footprint point of view, I would say DR George did the Watusi when he realized the rug was drenched!

RE: last night's MEDIUM

spoilers.

I love the show. But I didn't love much of last night's show. I also did not like the ending.

I'm not sure what it was about the rest of the show. BUt it didn't engage me as much as usual. I was interested with the twist re: the car and what really happened in the car. But why would alison go to see the guy alone? And all that stuff with how alison was saved was too much for me.

I loved the season premiere so hopefully next week will have a better show.

The ad banner on my HHW page one is:

Hmmmm. Synchronicity.

For anyone who watches MEN IN TREES, it is on tonight at 10pm.

Jennifer · « **Reply #50 on:** November 30, 2006, 08:40:56 AM »

Oh and speaking of hot weather. It is something like 60F degrees here right now. Crazy for almost december!

Edisaurus · « **Reply #51 on:** November 30, 2006, 08:49:31 AM »

It's quite balmy here in Atlanta.

MBarnum · « **Reply #52 on:** November 30, 2006, 09:08:16 AM »

I have not watched MEN IN TREES...but had I known that John Amos was going to be in it, I would have started.

It is quite wet here in Salem....and evidently in some places in Washington state as well, according to DR George $:-\$

Well, my invite for opening night of Brain from Planet X is for me and a guest...and as my buddies here in Oregon have tired of traveling to L.A. with me I guess I will have to try and find a guest in Hollywood.

I wonder if Rex Chandler is available Friday evening?

JRand56, you should find some German cowboys in your mail box today or tomorrow.

I sent an e-mail and they said that they "put a call into Doris and [will] have her take a look at it this morning. Depending on the cause, will depend on if the HOA will cover it or not. Regardless, we will get it looked at as quickly as possible."

I'm off to more more stuff out of the living room.

I'm so upset that I can't even think about ALW.

That's usually what happens to me when I think of ALW!
