Wednesday morning greetings!  Another snowy communte here in SW Ohio - I left a few minutes earlier than usual and got to work in plenty of time.  At least today's weather is just snow, not the ice we had last week.

I also used to enjoy e-bay. I bought a lot of antique Evelyn Nesbit postcards for DR Sandra and vintage Marilyn Monroe postcards for DR Megan. Later it seemed they were being listed by stores and too expensive.

Good morning, all! I had horrible dreams based on Scott smith's novel (and forthcoming movie) THE RUINS, and I slept late, until around 8:30.  I've caught up on last night's posts, checked my bank account, had some coffee, and I'm ready to work on Critical Notes to The Lady Of The Slipper.
at some point I need to rn to the psot office and to a hardware store. I also have a short trek to the NYPL to dro[p poff a package for my friend Bob in the Music Division.

DR Jose, I'm glad you liked Mr Doyle's Sondheim productions and I'm glad it gave the critics who missed the chance to review the superior originals an opportunity to oooh and aaah over Mr Sondheim. I still believe both productions had to sacrifice in either the acting or musical departments to find people to do both, and - at least with SWEENEY, since one was more than enough - I feel the production was only for folk who knew the story since Mr Doyle's lack of concern with telling the plot or defining relationships was completely nil. As for his MAHAGONNY, he was truly out of his element.

Thanks, DR Singdaw!  In about an hour, I have to go out for a midday meeting at the Girl Scout center.  Maybe they'll serve GS cookies for dessert!

Yesterday DR Jose said re: IDOL:

Quote
As for tonight's "American Idol"... Hmmm...

And as for Josiah not being in the Top 24... Well, I felt he blew his chances during Hollywood week, and with all his post-"Idol" publicity and appearances, well... I don't think he would have lasted that long anyway.  And that faux-English just doesn't seem to go away, even when he's speaking
.


Count me in on one of those who was quite upset that Josiah was cut (and kyle too).

But i'm curious, what are his post idol appearances. I have not seen him but would like to.

I actually think he could have gone far. He had a lot of exposure. As well he gave the judges one of their favorite hollywood moments.

I really think the Pre-top 24 exposure is a huge factor.

There are a few guys in the top 24 who i have never seen before. the one guy (who played the guitar with the long hair) i think has a chance. Because simon said he was amazing.

But the Leif Garrett looking guy (seemed sweet but i have never seen him) and a few of the others are going down. It's just not equal playing field when people like the 17 year old boy and the australian michael johns have had  a lot of exposure.

AMERICAN IDOL personal picks:

Top Three
David Archuleta

Michael Johns

David Cook

Bottom Three

Chikeze

Jason Yeager

Garrett Haley

Danny Noriega did himself in with a wretched song choice

Everybody seemed to play it safe - we have heard better from most of the performers. Nothing really bad, but no star power either



No argument about the first two being the best of the night. I didn't care for David Cook much, especially the Chris Daughtry-like twirling of the mic stand.

I think Danny Noreiga will go before Jason Yeager. Jason has a lilting quality to his voice that I liked (wasn't wowed by it, but it was more than the pleasant karaoke that most of the guys opted for last night.)

Good morning!

Another spring day. It was cold this morning, but we're back in the 60s today. Tomorrow promises to be much colder and rainy.

I am very eager to finish THE LAST EMPEROR today and put it behind me. I have a stack of other movies to get to including:

INTO THE WILD

THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE

DAN IN REAL LIFE

And not a box set among them! ;D

MattH, I envy you--*this* week's boxed set for me is the Mirren at BBC one.  I've made it through several of the plays already, some better than others, as you might expect.

Only one of the three PBS stations in the area is showing COMPANY tonight, a big disappointment since I was hoping it would be one of the other two who broadcast in HD. Still I'll record it since I guess I'll be watching IDOL.

Mirren? I knew there was Maggie Smith at the BBC coming. I didn't know about Mirren.

Thanks for the info. I'll be looking for your review since this won't be coming my way.

I'll not quibble about Ebay. I've gotten things there I don't think I would have found otherwise. (That PORGY & BESS is a prime example.) Careful shopping and one can pick things up for reasonable prices. I'm not concerned that there aren't the great STEALS there now that one could get years ago. It still serves its purpose for me.

And as for IDOL tonight, I may record the show and not start watching until 9 so I can speed through it and see the show basically in an hour's time. That may be the way to go with these two hour broadcasts.

Yes snow is here, school was delayed by two hours, which I didn't know, so when I went to the bank I was sharing the streets with several hundred HIGH SCHOOL drivers, smoking cigarettes, talking on cell phones, and driving as if the streets were dry and clean.  And no hand to use a turn signal.

Yes, and the interesting thing is the UK and US releases contain different items (some overlap, too), which has some people in an uproar.
