I've just stuffed the taters into the oven to bake, and am going to run and hide in the back room to speed through Enchanted for the songs and the bonus features.

That, plus steak and salad for dindin tonight.

Tomorrow, we're having breakfast! (I get off from work late, and back early in the morning after, so breakfast is what cooks quickly with little fuss.)

Well, if you get real hard up, would you just like to do Col. Pickering?

Always a possibility!

Well, if you can put another tater in the oven, and have any steak leftover after tonight's din-din, you could make a pretty substantial hash for tomorrow's brekkie.

As for the forthcoming Kritzerland release... I, too, am VERY excited about it. Alas, due to a possible issue that may have occurred while I was traveling week, I have to refrain from any "extraneous" credit card transactions right now. $:-\$

Well, you could always send a check to Kritzerland, like I did

DR JoseSPiano - Once again, and as always, thanks for sharing your considerable impressions with us.

Yes, but does he do a good James Cagney?

As a matter of fact, I do! I have the tickets already and they're here at work so I don't forget to go.

They are doing:

Three Penny Opera
Scrooge (yet again!)
A Grand Night for Singing
Jesus Christ Superstar
A Little Night Music

Yup. My moment in this scene (the "Freak Show") takes all of probably 20 seconds and I'm practically running down stage then off. So the expression is just one exceedingly quick moment where I'm in the middle of speaking some word.

Just came home from an evening of song and merriment and saw DR Arnold Brockman which was a nice surprise as he normally attends the Monday night performances.

Christine Pedi who was wonderful and is nice to hear her sing in her "real" voice and not as Liza or Ethel or Carol or Julie or Mary or Eartha or Barbra or Judy.

John Treacy Egan late of the Producers and currently in The Little Mermaid was also there.

I began my evening with another NUMB3RS episode. This was one dealing with an art masterpiece stolen from a museum. Pretty fair mystery, but there was Judd Hirsch two years since I last saw him, lecturing the boys again on the importance of getting married and having families. This is what drove me away from the show two years ago, and it may indeed make me put this set back on the shelf.

Nice seeing Garrett Dillahunt and Benito Martinez in guest star roles.

Next, I watched another DVD I got for Christmas - I'LL CRY TOMORROW. Susan Hayward reached new heights of performance in this film, and watching her hit bottom and then dry out are harrowing.

Yes.I did see our DR Michael Shayne at The Crest Theatre Tonight. I didn;t realize he had changed his series from Monday to Tuesday. I had to change to Tuesday for the Treacy Egan and Pedi performance because The Polo Club had Tony Orlando Monday Night(By the way he was terrific) Michael S looks to be in "Tip-Top " Shape.

Yes,Uncle Jo Jo Christine did sing some songs by Sheldon Harnick.

About tonight's AMERICAN IDOL, another Beatles night.

Too bad they can only send one home. I would send at least five home:

Amanda Overmeyer - back to her sub-level awful yowling that passes as singing.

Kristie Lee Smith - off key much of the time and again, no poise, no personality, voice quavery even late.

Chikisie - like Amanda, back to that awful off pitch singing style from the first weeks.

Brooke White - dull with a capital "d." Even she knew it was a bad night for her.

Ramiele - the producers chose HER to end the evening? Pathetic. Ghastly off key singing.

As for the best:

David Archuleta by a mile, a great recovery from his stumbling performance last week.

Carly Smithson, his only competition of the night and one of the few times since the season started that I didn't think she was the best one.

David Cook - two really good rock performances in a row. Would like to see something else just for a change, but in this style, he can do well.

Re: tonight's DANCING WITH THE STARS.

I must admit i really love the women. Usually i prefer the guys (cause i seem to love more of the female pros). But i was really impressed with much of what i saw.

There were 4 performances that really stood out to me.

1.I had a feel that Kristi Yamaguchi (sp?) would be great. Even though figure skating is different. I thought her athletic nature, plus her competitiveness would help. Plus the grace from skating. And i was right. She was the best of the night. I really liked her.

2. I loved Marissa jaret winokur. She obviously loves the show and loves performing. And i thought it was nice that she got a standing ovation. She had such energy. And i voted for her to support a broadway performer on the show!

3. Priscilla Presley. I was actually impressed with her. She did much better than i expected. I'm not sure how old she is (early 60s?). They said she was the oldest woman ever. Anyhow she is a perfectionist. But has a lot of natural talent.

4. Marlee Matlin. Very moving. The judges were very moved too. She did great!

Monica seles is quite hopeless. She is too stiff. Maybe she can improve a bit. I fear she will be the woman booted.

I would agree on some of these. I do not like amanda at all. Or kristy. And i'm not too fond of chikizie. Remiele i think has a nice voice but not great stage presence.

But i will disagree about brooke white. I just find her lovely on stage. She has wonderful stage presence. And she feels so much emotion. Plus she has a lovely personality. I just like watching her and listening to her. I'm not saying she was great tonight. But i like the way she handles herself.

I think lilttle david did well. Carly is good as always. But i am no longer wowed by her. She has experience. But i just don't find myself interested.

I loved avid cook the last two weeks but was not crazy about him tonight.

I think kristy could go. Or remi. I think michael johns is running out chances. He did so great in hollywood. I just don't get what has happened to him.

I was disappointed not to find the one Stephen Schwartz song that was cut from the movie, the title song that Idinia Menzel was supposed to have sung. I assume they decided to hold it back for the inevitable 2-DVD version to make all of the fans re-buy the same product...

I, too, am a bit confused by the quoting, as well as the post-script nature of your(?) comments.

The quoting is to set off words for particular emphasis (sometimes called Apologetic Quotation Marks) - if I were speaking my vocal inflection would convey the intent.

The post scripts are just that - after-thoughts on what I had written. The ones in question were just my idealizing what I would like to hear a candidate say
