I'm waiting for someone to manufacture organic malomars. I've customers who would consider them to be the ultimate comfort food.

(And the way the government has defined "organic," such a thing is possible. )

Is there NOTHING the Republicans CAN'T do?

'Taint just one party doing it, sad to say. The Dems have been just as bad when it comes to our labeling laws. And I don't see this new Congress reversing the trend.

Time for me to get to work, as well.

I'll get a day off next Saturday.

Good morning!

What a gorgeous, crystal-clear morning, but we have returned to late autumn. It was in the 30s last night, and the high today is only to be in the low 50s. (It got to 76 here yesterday and all last week.)

I must say, I'm glad to see fall temperatures return. My body does not do well with the up and down temps we've been having. I almost always get sick, and with an audition coming up a week from Sunday, I need to stay healthy.

I wish I could have seen Julie in CAMELOT on the stage. Alas, she was gone by the time we could get tickets (but what a ravishing show it was for a pre-teenager). I did see her in the stage version of VICTOR/VICTORIA, but she couldn't match her artistry in the film, and it was a bit of an anticlimax for me.

My favorite film performance is THE SOUND OF MUSIC but I still stubbornly stick to STAR! as I film I return to to see Julie at her most versatile.

I never saw Judy Holliday on the stage, so I have no stories to tell there.

My favorite performance of hers is in THE SOLID GOLD CADILLAC, but my favorite film is THE MARRYING KIND. That is one of the most underrated movies ever made.

I never saw Ethel Merman on stage either. Since I had seen the Pearl Bailey/DOLLY, I didn't return to see Ethel in it. Never saw her in GYPSY either. I had hopes I'd see her in the ANNIE GET YOUR GUN revival at the New York State Theatre, but we went to something else on that NYC trip (I want to say it was SWEET CHARITY, but I may be mixing my years up).

On film, I prefer Merman in THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS to CALL ME MADAM. I don't think I've ever seen her 1930s ANYTHING GOES, and I'd like to.

And she's certainly funny in MAD WORLD.

And the woman behind them? Is she "clean-up"?

Ew, I remember what used to happen when my sister's hampster would poop in it's ball. Not pretty.

I saw something interesting reading the Collector's Choice music catalog this morning.

It was about a new release of the original cast recording of DREAMGIRLS. According to the listing, there are three new songs added to the new reissue release that have never been released on LP or CD before.

Does anyone know if the entire score to DREAMGIRLS was recorded originally and just not released at the time of the original LP, or did they do a FOLLIES and not record everything at that recording session?

Saturday morning greetings to all. I am up and ready to face the day. All that remains is the decision about whether to go up to a craft fair in Riverdale before heading downtown to dance class or if I should do things around the house instead...

Last night I saw an amazing performance by the Alvin Ailey dancers. You can see every muscle at work from the second row. Amazing how they can be working that hard but still look so light and beautiful.

Yesterday, I listed SUPERMAN RETURNS and BONES in my Media Checklist anticipating that they'd be delivered on Friday (since I got the shipping notice on Monday morning). They didn't come (which is one reason I spent much of yesterday with the roadshow version of SOUTH PACIFIC).

If they come today, I'll begin watching them. If not, I'll probably take THE GREAT ESCAPE off the shelf and watch it. When the new special edition was released several years ago, I bought it and gave my old non-anamorphic DVD to a friend. But I've never watched this new edition, and today might be a good day to do that.

Good morning, all! I'm gathering my things to head off to today's band rehearsal. Pray for Rosemary's baby!

Heading down now to take my first load of weekend laundry out of the dryer, and then begin preparations for lunch.

I'm back from the craft fair and it was a big disappointment. Not a lot there, and what was there was mostly jewelry, either hand crafted or manufactured. I was hoping for more arts and craft type items, ornaments, etc. Oh well, I'm glad I went. Now I don't have to wonder about it anymore and the bus ride to and fro was rather pleasant.

TPunk · « **Reply #50 on:** December 02, 2006, 09:32:48 AM »

And because it was such a bust, I had time to stop and home, grab a bite to eat and change the cat litter.

DR CILLALIZ,
Regarding your unpleasant restaurant experiece, I quite sympathize. I used to travel a lot on business, sometimes alone, sometimes not, and SEVERAL times was in restaurants where they wouldn't even seat me. They DID seat a couple behind me in line, but refused to give a table to one person. I went to another restaurant, where waiter after waiter walked by, completely ignoring me, even though the restaurant was virtually empty. Since both of these experiences were in the same hotel, I took it up with one of the hotel managers before checking out. I don't get mad often, but I was livid. I asked if it was hotel policy to discriminate against women travelling alone. (The hotel was hosting the conference I was attending.) He was quite taken aback and I don't think he was aware that this goes on. To his credit, he did try to correct some of the other problems I pointed out.

When I've related these incidents to friends they often don't believe me and think I got it wrong, but I know it DOES happen. It's one of those things that you probably wouldn't believe if you didn't witness it yourself.

I'm sorry it happened to you. Perhaps one of us can think up a clever and funny way to deal with it next time.

DR TOMOVOZ,
Thank you for the recommendations. I've watched SIX FEET UNDER, but the others are all new to me. I'll look for them on Netflix.

I'll stick to my own music choices, though. John Denver!!! Really!!

Jeanne · « **Reply #53 on:** December 02, 2006, 09:51:55 AM »

I've never even heard of a Malomar. I assume it's something chocolaty. (Best I not get started.)

Sometimes I see things with remarkable celerity.

And the rest of the time, I'm bleary eyed and "huh?"

Well it certainly can't be for everybody.

Sadly, though, it's usually the ones who shouldn't do it who opt for it.
