And speaking of coffee...

I made a pot of French press coffee this morning... Smooth!  And it was the perfect accompaniment to the Mixed Berry Scone I purchased yesterday at City Bakery/birdbath.  :)

Rainy Saturday....heavy winds, rain, thunder and lightning last night.  One branch of our elm three in the front yard is a hanging by a thread!  But I would guess all that water will help the flowers grow....and better it happens this weekend than last weekend when we were painting!

I believe some of that stormy weather is due here in NYC shortly.

Yesterday Jose said:

After leaving the Lower East Side with baked goods in tow, I headed over to Chelsea to meet up with my friend, Carl, for dinner.  We ended up supping at the Hollywood Diner, which, I believe, is just down the stairs from DR Ben's abode.  After dinner, he headed on up to the Cort to see The 39 Steps, and I headed on home.

Well, whaddayaknow! Yes, the Hollywood is on the corner of 16th Street and 6th Avenue, just half a block from the old apartment. We were not there at the same time but I also had dinner at the Hollywood last night. Since Ant is still on Long Island I decided to go to the diner for Friday Night Dinner. I was there around 6:45 if I recall correctly. I was sitting at the counter and I didn't see Jose and friend so I assume they were there later or already gone. Hope your dinner was good, mine was.

WOW!  We must have just missed you!  We walked in a little after 7:00 - maybe 7:10 at the latest.  Next time...


*And, hopefully, next time they'll have their A/C turned on - it was a little stuffy in there last night.

"He Ain't No Jose" - that's the title of the opening number of my new musical.

Opening number?!?!?  I think that qualifies as an Act One Closer.. Harrumph!

Cilla, do you mean the ANNIE sequel in D.C.?  I was there on the next-to-last night (when Dorothy Stanley went on for Dorothy Loudon) which was a Friday, and then on the last night when Dorothy Loudon returned for that final performance (that was a Saturday).

According to NOT SINCE CARRIE: (A good recounting of what happened during the Washington DC tryout)

Martin Charnin didn't allow Loudon to perform at that performance. Because Loudon didn't want to do an Annie revival instead of Annie 2.

Coney Island did play an important part in the original concept.
There were musical numbers. (I have a cd of all the songs written for Annie 2)
Coney Island is where Miss Hannigan and her cohorts discover a look a like for Annie. Where they decide to make a switch with the real Annie.

It was at this point in concept Miss Hannigan was to marry Warbucks so that Annie will have a mother and then kill them both and get his money. (This aspect of the plot ws carried over to Annie Warbucks version)

They sing to the double "You can be Annie, too (2)"

Media check, a day late:

CD:  For anyone who has never heard Russian composer/pianist Nikolai Kapustin, I cannot recommend his compositions highly enough.  Imagine Eldar playing Rachmaninoff and you have a little idea of the treats waiting in store for you.

DVD:  We watched a way-in-advance copy of a 1992 UK miniseries called Anglo Saxon Attitudes last night.  Totally unique, weird little piece, with a very young Daniel Craig and even younger (and pretty hefty, I might add) Kate Winslet.

Thank you, Edi, I am glad you like the avatar.   I like it becasue I am so far away that I look younger.

Thanks, Matt, for the information on reviewing.  I always thought it would be tough to do that job if you didn't care for the genre or the actor or the director.  Now, if you could pick and choose what you wanted to review, I would enjoy that job.

It is a semi-day in Tacoma.

It is semi-sunny, semi-chilly, semi-breezy, semi-muggy, semi-lazy day.

Hmm...  Tomorrow, there are seven(!) Street Fairs here in New York City... Including the Philippine Independence Day Celebration and Street Fair.

I wonder if any of the food booths will have balut?   :o  :-X  :(  ::)

Well, I'm pretty sure if I do end up having to fast on Monday, it won't be due to eating balut.  -However, there will most likely be some lumpia, pancit, adobo, halo-halo(!).
