I'd be having lots more fun if this friggin' hurricane would STOP NOW! Begone I say! Gone with the wind!

I have packages to ship but I'm not going out until this fershluganah wind quiets down.

FABULOUS.

bk, now you can do and say stupid things and blame it on having a "blonde moment"! Excellent strategy...why didn't *I* think of that?

I have some office things to tend to before I close up shop and head downstairs. I cleaned the bedroom areas this afternoon waiting to go to lunch, so I don't have THAT chore staring me in the face. Soon will be back to the TV with the second commentary track on THE QUEEN DVD.

That is all.

This has been a strange day here in Rehoboth Beach, DE.

It was raining when I had to get to work, so I talked der Brucer into driving me, instead of my usual walk.

The rain continued, harder and harder, through much of the morning. We had very few customers. The store was so dead, it felt like rigor mortis was setting in.

Then, the sun started shining again, but the momentum never did pick up.

Now, it is nice and toasty as the evening approaches.

I was thinking of making a nice leek and potato soup for dinner tonight. It's warm enough now that chilling it down for a Vichyssoise seems more appropriate.

That being the case, I'd better get it started now, so I can cool it down later.

I was fortunate enough to see Gone With the Wind in London. I enjoyed much more than I did the film.

There a 2cd (the London cast album is far from complete) of the Los Angeles cast with Lesley Ann Warren and Pernell Roberts. It is live but worth tracking down.

DR JoseSPiano...

SO you'll be gaily traipsing back and forth to CT until the opening on Saturday night? Ugh!

Well... Yes.

In fact, everyone traipses back back and forth between NYC and CT, and vice versa. We were only provided hotel rooms last week since we were in tech. Otherwise, it's hop on the train to get there, and hop in the van to get home. -Unless you happen to drive yourself. It's like working at Papermill and Westchester when they do those van pick ups for their cast and crew each day.

-And I don't mind the train ride. And when I take the train from Grand Central, I have that great food court and the Grand Central Market from which to forage a meal.

Maybe you need to be over 60 and remember the FLower Power Days with affection:
I like American Pie, MacArthur Park, A Whiter Shade Of Pale, Spill The Wine and Chick-a-Boom. They are just surrealist pop.

I love you! To me, you are FABULOUSNESS itself.

I was thinking about the one that goes Flash! Bang! Alakazam! But I haven't looked for the sheet music yet.

I haven't heard 'The Physician.' Maybe I should add the Twiggy CD to my list that BK is holding for me.

Forgive me if this has been answered during the course of the day, I'm playing catch up right now, but the song in question is, "Orange Colored Sky".

It's one of my favorites! -Especially when the band gets into the act with some call and response sections with the singer...

Of course, I would need to be able to find the sheet music for it.

And if you need the sheet music, I believe I have a "digital copy" (PDF) I could e-mail you... Once I track it down.

Does any DR have any impression of this performance of Camelot:

First time to DVD, which I see is now available for pre-order. It says it features Richard Harris and was filmed onstage at the Winter Garden Theatre in NYC in 1982. There is a positive review or two over at Amazon, but was just wondering if any DR has an impression of this. Thanks!

I remember it being shown on HBO and maybe even A&E at one point and time. All I seem to recall right now is the laser effect for Nimue and the Intermission graphic.

Not. $:-\$

Sorry, Ron, but someone leaving cakes out in the rain is just a silly song lyric to me. I enjoyed reading the Wikipedia entry though and about how Webb could never get Harris to sing the right lyric.

I agree with leaving the cake out in the rain as being silly..but the "and I don't think that I can take it, cause it took so long to bake it, and I'll never have the recipe again" makes it even funnier

BK, what was your Indian food experience?

I would suggest going to and Indian place that has a buffet, then you can try many different taste treats!

As I was perusing various eateries on-line yesterday I saw some very good reviews for a place called INDIA SWEETS AND SPICE which is at 3126 Los Feliz Blvd. It is cheap and, according to the reviews, quite tasty...and they show Bollywood movies on a giant tv screen. It also has an Asian grocery store attached. I will probably try to check it out during my touristy travels.

Hehe!

I actually tried that place when I was in L.A. for What If. I was just staying about five minutes from it, and since my friends wanted to give it a try, we did. It's a bare bones food place. You go up to the counter, you order, you wait, you get your food, you eat. I recall it being surprisingly good. And the grocery store was nice too. -There's also another Indian place a few doors down with a similar modus operandi.

*Now if I can just remember the name of that small store in Culver City that also had a small food counter in the back. The samosas and pakoras were some of the best I've ever tasted, and they also had a nice selection of sweets too.

My Indian food experience was in the early to mid-70s - I was taken to what I was told was a great Indian restaurant somewhere in West LA or Santa Monica. I was with my cousins, and they ordered, having eaten there many times. Unfortunately, they ordered everything extra hot. I took one bite of something and that was the end of the meal. The taste was terrible, but worse, my mouth was so on fire that twenty glasses of water (and I'm not kidding) could not put it out. I haven't eaten nor been in an Indian restaurant since.

Stay away from anything labeled "vindaloo" - that's some HOT stuff. -Well, it's supposed to be, but a lot of places tone down the heat I've found in my travels.

However, the best thing to do to dissipate the heat is to eat some bread, and drink some milk - or order a lassi - it's made with yogurt. The dairy counteracts the capsaicin in the peppers.
