Do we know a channel number for Goodlife? I mean, on Direct TV? Major question: On the remote, there doesn't seem to be an "off" button, so I assume one just leaves the Tivo receiver "on" all the time. Is that right? There's a five-hundred page manual I guess I have to start reading.

Bruce - before or after the pancakes, check out this listing of DirectTv channels. . . .

So nice to have you back where you belong, William F Orr (oh, a Hello Dolly reference). We've all missed you. And there's some young'uns here who need some math help once in a while.

Ann, do post a pic of little Shy...I have no aversion to rats or mice!

I do! I have a HUGE aversion to mice!

Back from an unexpectedly long day at the Met. I ended up picking up the evening show, so more moolah for me!

Compare this pic of Times Square to Jrand's from 10 years ago...

I'm up for an omelette.

With sausage and mushrooms, please.

And strong, hot coffee, too.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #191 on:** January 03, 2004, 09:29:22 PM »

Of course, if you must have pancakes, I'll go along as long as the restaurant does waffles.

I could waffle over a waffle!

Good evening!

-Just two more Camelots to go... :-(

Today's performances were the last shows for one of our Young Tom's. He was already getting emotional right before the show, but it was nice to see him all happy and smiling during the curtain call. *I "worry" about that final scene tomorrow night. Get the boxes of Kleenex ready!

-Funny thing, a bunch of us have the same feeling about the closing of the show. We'd all love for the show to run longer - if it could, being part of a season, it can't - BUT all of us also want to be back home real soon. I guess having the show happen over the holidays kind of got everyone kind of homesick -

In any case, it's been a great run.

*The crew did their crew photo tonight. Lots of fun. They all picked parts of their favorites costumes! And one light op, in particular, chose to wear one of the horse harnesses... Very nice looking man, and it was nice to see him in the harness too... And you tell it was a little cold tonight in the theatre too.

I'll do my best to post some pics once I get them copied over from my camera.

DR Jennifer - RE: Y&R - Sharon accidentally killed somebody!?!?!?? And she dragged his body across town?!?!?!?!? HA!! Doesn't the Newman clan have enough to deal with right now with Nicholas' "betrayal"? *I haven't seen the show since before Christmas - they were arresting "the moustache". I guess I have a bit of catching up to do. And starting next week I can do just that! A truly guilty pleasure!

OH, and which character do you think will be the next one to reveal that they can sing?

-I was actually surprised that they did not do some sort of crossover promotion when Nick Newman - can't recall the actor's name right now - had that (horrible) band with some other soap hunks. And does Nikki ever play piano anymore?

-And such nice pics of babies and pets...

I wish I was home enough to be able to have a pet - I would love a nice medium-sized dog. As for a baby, my nieces and nephew will suffice for now.

I'd have been up for pancakes, but I just got back from the flicks and have gorged on popcorn. Saw LOST IN TRANSLATION. Very nice. Bill Murray has evolved from comedian to a lovely actor in his last few films.

No, was never a huge fan of Doug McClure's limited acting range...but I did work twice with James Drury in dinner theatre...THE RAINMAKER & ONCE MORE WITH FEELING, have seen him a few times since and there is a warm feeling for Jimbo.

Sorry, Matt H., but in practically every scene with Frodo either he or Sam weep...While given the task and the circumstance, I can understand some blubbering up to a point, I still think they could have found a few different notes every once in a while. It's not a big complaint, mind you, but I noticed it enough for it to take me out of the story upon occasion. When you're noticing the acting (or perhaps, directorial) choices, you're no longer enmeshed in the story.

Well, I'm gonna head to bed... at least it's a little earlier than last night... Tomorrow will be a long day - two shows and then the closing night pizza party! *I need to make sure I bring some "safe food" for myself to enjoy afterwards - well, I could always do the "scrape the cheese of the slice" thing, but... no.

See you in the morning.

Sleep well, all.

Since, at the moment, I am the only one here it seems silly to post, but I didn't want BK to post tomorrow's notes before I had a chance to say "Hello."

Between snow storms today, I managed to squeeze in a long rehearsal for the murder mystery, and yes, yet another performance of Oliver. Traffic was a ngihtmare, but I managed to get everywhere I had to be in a timely manner, and now I am ready to crash.

Great photos (and posts) from one and all. I will try and post photos of my kitties tomorrow between the Sehawks playoff game, the final performance of O, and another rehearsal.

Good night all!

Given the nature of Hobbits, the burden of the Ring of Power, the horrendous conditions of the journey to Mordor and the necessity of putting up with the loathsome Gollum, tears are most definitely in order for both Frodo and Sam, neither of whom, to my mind, overdid it one bit. In fact, they could have whined and complained much much more so horrific was their chore -- plus the belief expressed by Sam that theirs was a one-way trip.

There is a degree of cynicism I am most grateful I have not attained. Perhaps if I were in that most dehumanizing of situations -- working in Hollywood for people who are, for the most part, interested only in money rather than art -- I might find real emotions more maudlin. I'm sure such situations -- plus seeing one's work handled cavalierly or clumsily -- must enure most folks to heart-on-the-sleeve reactions.

But I'm not in that situation, thank goodness. I do appreciate seeing this great fantasy produced so meticulously, magically and mesmerizingly for the cinema.

Looking forward to seeing Angel and Nicholas TCB. Not sure about the Seahawks. (are they a Theatre sports team?) I trust the pockets are not too worn out to be picked in the final O performance. Next time the role comes up will you "think it out again"?
