I am REALLY hungry.

bk · « **Reply #211 on:** May 20, 2008, 05:24:09 PM »

But, food is still thirty minutes away. I suppose I should figure out what I want. I read about a place that I've driven by tons of times, in Burbank, called A Taste of Chicago. It's owned by Joe Mantegna and his wife (who knew) and apparently they have amazing food there - raves for their Chicago-style pizza, and beef sandwiches and meatballs.

Well, no one can say we didn't get to page eight.

Will we never get to page nine?

bk · « **Reply #214 on:** May 20, 2008, 05:25:08 PM »

I sort of have a taco bell craving, but I also have a pizza craving and pizza is a lot closer.

BK - Am I right in assuming that those people we talked about never contacted you at all last week?

FJL · « **Reply #216 on:** May 20, 2008, 05:27:30 PM »

I'd call rather than posting, but I figured posting would help us get to page 9.

TCB - Just left you a rambling, inconclusive phone message

I'll leave Thursday at 1 open, on the hope that you guys are feeling OK and up to lunch that day

FJL · « **Reply #218 on:** May 20, 2008, 05:30:31 PM »

But I'll leave Saturday at noon open as well.

FJL · « **Reply #219 on:** May 20, 2008, 05:31:44 PM »

Will I never reach post 11150?

I keep posting, but my "member number" never goes above 284

As for "So You Think You Can Dance?"...

I have it on good authority that this year's finalists truly some are the best they've ever had. I'm looking forward to watching this season's competition. Yes, the judging/elimination process is a bit "off", but, if anything, one could always just watch the competition night each week, and not the elimination night.

I've never seen one minute of American Idol - is it good?

I've not seen it, either, but there are clips on Youtube. . .

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #223 on:** May 20, 2008, 06:04:57 PM »

I only watched Idol a couple of times when Sanjaya was on. Ok, I didn't really watch the show; I did look at a couple of clips on YouTube.

I thought it was great. But then, I like Mrs. Miller and Wing....

Am home now.

Am hungry now.

This evening, I shall be Swingin' the Jinx Away!

I’ve very pleased to know there are a couple of people here who watch THE BIG BANG THEORY.

FJL, heard nothing and did what we discussed.

bk · « **Reply #229 on:** May 20, 2008, 07:19:35 PM »

Maybe I'll just wait until tomorrow to post the book cover, since recent history has shown that no one will be here to see it this evening.

Ginny · « **Reply #230 on:** May 20, 2008, 07:22:22 PM »

So, I logged in a while ago and then got involved watching the 2-hour season finale

of NCIS (and reading my new issue of Entertainment Weekly during the commercials).

Where'd the evening go?

I am so so so annoyed with randy and simon. David cook was the front runner. And if they switched the vote to make little archie win i will be so mad. I don't mind them giving their opinions. But declaring little david the winner was completely ridiculous to me. Don't they realize that people listen to what simon says. ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DR Jennifer - Not everyone listens to the judges. And, besides, I truly think people had chosen who they were going to vote before long before tonight's broadcast. Right now, it's just a matter of who can text their votes faster.

*And in all the interviews up until tonight, Simon was throwing his support behind the other one.

I wept through SOUTH PACIFIC, which is one of the most splendid productions I've ever seen, far superior to a City Opera revival in the 1980s and a lacklustre Papermill production over ten years ago which starred Mr Ron Raines. This new production suffers none of the stupidity of so many lousy revivals in the past: no reducing the orchestra to a combo, no "I know how to fix this lousy show I have to do" attitude since there's nothing broken about the book, glorious design, and a wonderful cast that looks the right age - my dad was 19 when Pearl Harbor was attacked.

The orchestra played beautifully and the Entr'Acte was a wonderful acknowledgment of their talent, and I cannot wait to see it again. Afterwards, I stopped backstage, saw Danny Burstein who was a wonderful Luther Billis, Ted Sperling the conductor, and Kelli O'Hara, with whom I've worked twice before. On my way to Ted's dressing room, I said hello to Paolo Szot who stopped the show with "This Nearly Was Mine," and while I was talking to Danny I saw Christian Delcroix who was at Goodspeed in WHERE'S CHARLEY in 2004.

Kelli O'Hara is stunning in this production, not good, but absolutely stunning. I found her so right in every way: charming, warm, a wonderful actress.

I have to pack or I would continue to rave.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #238 on:** May 20, 2008, 08:26:25 PM »

DR elmore -

I'm so glad that you were able to see South Pacific, and that you liked it too!

I hope your packing goes smoothly, and your travels tomorrow ever more so.

I watched the remainder of the featurettes on RAMBO (5 more) and the four deleted/extended scenes. Many of these featurettes repeated a lot of the carnage I had suffered through when watching the film. Ugh!

There was also the original trailer for the movie.
