I've been getting reacquainted with THE THREEPENNY OPERA. I've been listening to the off-Broadway cast recording and also found today the libretto for the Lincoln Center mounting which I want to continue to read today.

The Criterion disc of the 1931 movie version is coming out next week, and I'd like to be up on the score since I know several of the songs didn't make it into the first movie version.

Good morning DRs and H/Ks ....... It continues to be hot here in the desert, and Fall will be a very welcome arrival in this valley.

As for the TOD --

"...yes, little brown babies were being carried away by giant tse-tse flies. The flies were called "Los Jose Grecos de Muertos!"......."

Tonight is another episode of DAMAGES for me, but otherwise, I don't have anything planned to watch from TV. I do have SAVING GRACE which I recorded last night, but I don't think mthere are any other programs on the DVR (some movies, yes, but no shows).

The entire script of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS is quotable. However, one exchange will do.

Helen Lawson: Look, they drummed you out of Hollywood, so you come crawling back to Broadway. Well, Broadway doesn't go for booze and dope. Now get out of my way 'cause I've got a man waitin' for me.

Neely O'Hara: That's a change from the fags you're usually with.

Helen: At least I never married one.

and, of course, it goes on from there right to the infamous wig-pulling/flushing scene.

Last night, I started on Katharine Hepburn's autobiographical documentary ALL ABOUT ME (have seen it many times) which is also on the two disc set of THE PHILADELPHIA STORY. I'll finish that today and then find something else to watch likely on DVD.

Good morning, fellow Dear Readers.

I want to do a little writing, and then I'll head downstairs and start working on lunch.

DerBrucer, that world's tallest fountain was built as a marketing ploy by the developer that developed Fountain Hills. It is quite an expense to the Town, who now has to keep maintain it.

On the plus side, the artificial lake draws some nice birds, sometimes.

Interesting. I guess if something is ARTificial, then its ability to DRAW shouldn't come as a complete surprise to me.

I am alarmed by DR RLP's message......but then....if we knew what we don't know....we wouldn't leave our homes...I'm thinking.

You like my widow's weeds?

If you'd worn that to the funeral, he would have climbed right out of the coffin.

The September 11 solar eclipse in Virgo could highlight any nagging feelings of bad karma that have been bugging you for some time. Tend to any outstanding issues on this day, while the Sun is under the perfectionist sign's sway. Your resulting peace of mind will be worth it!

As the eclipse is occurring at the Moon's south node, you should focus intense efforts on any significant past experiences -- from last week to lives gone by.

Sounds like DR NOEL's rehearsals are going along....and that the cast is reflecting the title of the show.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #148 on:** September 11, 2007, 10:04:33 AM »

I am seeing some of the promos for the new shows.

BACK TO YOU....exactly how MANY times is it going to be funny for Kelsey or Patricia to be in a rage....and change in a second to a smile because they are "on the air"? My guess is, it's already not funny.
