ATTEND THE TALE

Well, you've read the notes, the notes told the tale, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently attending the tail.

So...
Sometimes it looks like I'm browsing the forum for hours on end. That's actually not far from the truth, but I digress. But actually I just keep the site up in my browser cos even when I tell the login thingy too keep me logged in, just closing the browser or the tab immediately logs me out anyway.

After the fairly well attended (and appreciated) show last night, I came home and watched a couple of episodes of "Kyle XY."  I only have the season finale to watch and then I'm all done with that show.  I recorded, but haven't yet watched last night's season premiere of "Battlestar Galactica"!!  I want to watch this without any interruptions, and Sunday may be the day for that...I hope.  I also have "Reaper" and "Eli Stone" to get through.  I haven't watched any episodes of either of those shows in quite a while.

I need to go into work later today for a few hours.  I can go in at any time, but I can only stay until 5:00 pm, so I need to be there by 1:30 at the latest, if I want to make up all the time from this past week that I didn't get in.  We'll see.

DR JoseSPiano - I'm sorry, I had forgotten that you were attending Joseph Kaiser's recital.  Sasha let me know a few days ago that she was pinch-hitting for him, and I should have thought to tell you.

I'm glad you liked her - I think she's fabulous!

I'll be E&T most of the day.  Tax office through the afternoon, and then dinner with a cousin who's coming in from Scranton (she and her daughter are seeing the Little Mermaid matinee)

Saturday morning greetings!  It's very foggy in SW Ohio today, but at least it's not snowy.

Today would ordinarily be all-information-waitressing for me, but my morning will be taken up by this month's performance of Grantseeking Basics.  I only have 2 IW-ing hours this afternoon  :D

Showtime!...Bye for now.

Thank you for answering my question last night, Cillaliz. I was going to respond then, but Joshie was INSISTENT that he needed to climb on my lap, so I gave up trying to type with him between me and the laptop.

I have a tv question (maybe DR MattH will know).

I see NBC is showing MONK and PSYCH on sunday night. I am curious are these the pilots for these shows?  

I am curious if anyone knows if they will be showing the entire season 1 or just an episode or two.

Also i have another tv related question, which i'm trying to research myself.

Does anybody here watch PROJECT CATWALK? I remember reading some posts in the past.

I have seen season 1 (with elizabeth hurley) and season 2 with kelly osbourne. But since PROJECT RUNWAY ended this week they have a new PROJECT CATWALK scheduled in its timeslot. Well it's written that it is new. I was just curious if there was indeed a season 3.

They are also starting the Tim Gunn show here this week. Has anyone seen it?

Thanks.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I'm sort of surprised that I'm up - and that I feel i got some semblance of sleep - since there was a car alarm blasting away on the street nearby for basically the whole night.  The first "bout" lasted about 20 minutes just as I had gotten into bed.  Then it stopped for a while.  Then it started again.  I looked at the clock, and it was 1:45am.  After I had drifted off a bit and opened my eyes again, it was 2:30am... and the alarm was still going off.  Thankfully, my body and mind were just too tired, and I was able to ignore the noise, and I caught a few hours of sleep.  Of course, around 7:30 this morning, I found myself awake again... As did the car alarm, so...  But, surprisingly, I'm feeling rested.  At least for now.  ;)

DR Jennifer - I'm sure nbc.com or tvguide.com will have info about NBC's broadcasts of "Psych" and "Monk".

As for "Project Catwalk"... I noticed our DVR started recording some more "Make Me A Supermodel" shows.  We thought it was just the DVR having a hiccup since "Supermodel" ended this week.  Well, when I noticed the Record light on last night, I checked to see what was recording, and it was "Make Me A Supermodel", but it was the London version.  So, I wonder if that is what "Project Catwalk" is.  -It was kind of cool, and I liked that the catwalk's took place in front of more than just the panel of judges.  Having a full audience really added to the atmosphere.

Oh...  And as for "Tim Gunn's Guide To Style"...  I liked it a lot - and the second season is supposed to start up here sometime soon.  It's basically a very high-end version of "What Not To Wear".  It's essentially the same format, but they have some pretty nice designer (jewelry and dress) tie-ins, and Tim Gunn and Veronica Lake, his co-host, also seem to do a bit more pyschological work with their weekly chosen one.

DR singdaw - No apologies necessary.  I was just surprised - as were many others - that Carnegie Hall did not make an official announcement about the replacement until the 11th hour.  -Well, more like the 10th.  When I attended Hvorostovsky's recital on Thursday night, I did not notice any new signage for Sasha Cooke's pinch-hitting.  In any case...  I enjoyed her recital immensely, and she sort of reminded me of one of my classmates from school, Pamela Armstrong.  -Who I keep missing each time she's appeared at City Opera.

Thanks DR Jose!

Actually, I was able to log on to slice.ca (the channel here that airs the project runways). And it says that the new season (season 3) of PROJECT CATWALK with kelly osbourne as host again will start on monday here.

I like this show a lot. IT is basically exactly the same as PROJECT RUNWAY but with UK designers.

Well, you actually get to see a lot of Matthew Morrison's torso during "Younger Than Springtime".  ;)  -And it actually made it much easier to notice that he was breathing correctly.  It was nice to hear and see that the coachings were not for naught.  ;)

There were always a couple of bare torsos in the original SOUTH PACIFIC production; one of the bare torsos in London was Sean Connery's.

Good morning, all! I had a really wild panic attack this morning and couldn't get out of bed.  I don't have them often, and I don't know the source for this one, but it was most peculiar.  So, now I'm up and moving, showered and dressed, and ready to work.

On top of that I had very strange dreams: one involving my selling scripts for the Drama Book Shop out of a car glove compartment and being frustrated because the person I was working for had not added price tags in American currency for British scripts; I was traveling with this child named Mikey, and I had to buy him a hat at one point since it was raining (this part of the dream makes perfect sense now!).

I also dreamed that our lovely DR Laura, her husband, and a church tour of young adults were camped out in my apartment and there were people lying everywhere.  No wonder I hada panic attack.

BK, I'm glad you enjoyed SWEENEY TODD since I detested it and think John Doyle is a fraud of the highest order.  It might be fine in a bar or college basement for a $25 ticket, but for a director to make a Broadway debut with this piece of tripe staged for the $100 center section of the orchestra with no concerns for sightlines on the side sections where the ticket prices are the same is an insult.

So, back to work.

Hmm... I just thought I'd check to see how much tickets were for shows at The Pantages, and after checking a few dates for the current run of Wicked it appears the top "regular" priced ticket is just $95.50 - which isn't too bad.  -So how come Hairspray was $30.00 more a couple of years ago?  *Although, I do know that The Pantages of allotment of "Premium Seats" (the $200 ones) is quite a good chunk of the center orchestra section, so maybe that's how they're making up the difference as it were.  ???

...On the other hand, tickets for the upcoming run of Disney's The Lion King at The Kennedy Center top out at $135.00.


*And then there were the concerts by the Vienna Philharmonic a couple of weeks ago at Carnegie Hall.  The cheap seats were $76(!), and the top price was around $180.

I am trying Apple Safari for the first time. Somewhere along the way it was downloaded on my PC. I am guessing from an update of my Itunes.

Dear Readers who use Safari how is it compared to Mozilla (My preferred) Explorer or Netscape?
