Hmm...  From the "it's a small world" department...

A friend of mine just contacted me to tell me that he'll be a part of a CD signing later this afternoon, and was wondering if I would be heading down to Virgin later to see/hear/get signed.  Well... Guess which CD he appears on?

I cannot believe the lousy "Saving Grace" is still running.

I gave up on it, too, and it killed me to do so because I *LOVE* Joel Gretsch, but I just couldn't stand its pretentions.

I began my afternoon viewing with another NCIS episode from season 1. An exciting episode about a sniper killing off Marine recruiters. I enjoyed it.

I then watched 4 1/2 episodes of HAWAII FIVE-O. One involved a punchy ex-boxer (played by Moses Gunn) who smashes the hand of a promising young fighter (to "save" him from the ring), and then the mod puts out a contract on the old guy. Nice twist at the end.

Another involved the beginnings of gangland war between the Japanese, the Chinese, the Samoan, and Korean gangs on the island. Only a fair episode, one of the weakest in the set thus far.

An ecology fanatic begins killing people he thinks are responsible for ruining the beauty of Hawaii. A kind of confused ending but pretty exciting until the end.

The episode I started and only got halfway through features Hume Cronyn returning to a role he performed in season 3, a master of disguise out to pilfer money from some drug smugglers. These episodes have a lighter tone than most FIVE-O episodes.

Paul Frees is dubbing the main bad guy's voice, and the drug runner is being played by character actor Lane Bradford.

And I finally turned on the A/C. The house was 80 degrees when I went downstairs, and that was just too warm for comfort. The A/C has been popping on and off all afternoon, so it's REALLY warm outside today.

That last sentence isn't a euphemism for "I think I'll slit my wrists", is it?


 ;)

No. when I get stymied and things aren't working out, a diversion is always welcome. I now have four reams of copy paper, one ream of 11x17 24lb paper for score paper, 20 blank CDs and I'm very happy.

DR Elmore - office supplies, huh?  Fond memories?  

In other matters, did Jo mention anything about last night's severe weather?  There were lots of twigs and tree limbs down in our driveway this morning, but there didn't seem to be any major damage.

Someone who is 85 years old shouldn't have a multi-million dollar mortgage.

Well, you wouldn't have to worry about ever really paying it off. Get a good mortgage insurance policy that pays in case of death and you have a nice house to leave your children  ;)   I am kidding

Jo wrote me a funny note this morning saying something like "I'm sick of this crappy weather."

the humidity is very high today, so we're due for something.

Trust me, you'd be better off stage-dooring at the St. James.  With the way the stage is set up for Gypsy, you really don't see much of anything or anyone while you're in the public areas backstage.  Basically, all you'd see is one long hallway, one stairwell, and another hallway.  I always have a better time waiting at the stage door for friends, rather than going inside.

My Niece, DR Samantha, and I stage doored at Legally Blonde (her first Broadway Show) and we had a blast. Everyone posed for photos, gave her autographs laughed and laughed.   We had a blast

For people like me who missed Season One, there is a marathon of all the episodes on July 20th prior to the Season Two premiere on July 27th.

I think I'll check this out again, also.  I watched the first episode when it was orginally on, but I think I was in rehearsals and didn't keep track of it.  :)

 I am not having a very productive week this week. I guess as hard as I have been working that was bound to happen.

Guess I'll write for a bit and then head back downstairs. I haven't cleaned the den yet, so I'll do that before launching back into HAWAII FIVE-O.

Unlike others here who'd say they could "raunch right into a lap"!

And "they" know who "they" are, too!  :D

elmore, I, too miss the Brain in Manhattan.  However, I certainly don't miss Paul Downs Colaizzo in any way, shape, or form.  I'm afraid he is on my "F" list for reasons too many to go into.  Our current Rod is the best we've had.  He'll be reading the role of George Brenner in Nudie.

I entered a few more fixes into the Nudie script, when through the whole thing to double check spacings and such, and then I took it to Staples for Xeroxing.

The interesting thing about the "old queen" is that he comes on and posts as if he WEREN'T the old queen, praising his new recording and bashing another cast album.  But it's so easy to tell it's him and in his next post he all but gives it away.  And then one of his cronies, who posts under the name Without A Trace (indeed) comes on and says, "I just talked to castprod and I'm posting what he told me to say" and then goes on to justify all the things people are complaining about.  

I have laid off this creep for years, but when he bashed me over at Broadwayworld, and then did so repeatedly in every thread he could, that was it.  Slander, indeed.  This guy is, in MY opinion, one of the biggest jerks who ever lived.  Oh, the stories I could tell - and they are plentiful.  I'm sure elmore could match me, too.
