Talk about someone who did a great job of rehabilitating her career

Ms. Berkeley, that is

I'm having a very frustrating week. I just couldn't bring myself to work all day and all night this week and I have gotten behind. Not really what I had in mind. Since there is raing and scattered thunderstorms every day for the 7 day outlook, I think I will work all weekend. That may help me catch up.

With all the rain we're getting around here, I must say I am glad that I sold my house on the low land near the creek and bought a house on the hill.

I have watched entirely too much of the weather channel tonight. I can tell you all who are on the east coast and the south...turn on your air conditioners...you are going to be very hot

Watching another Outer Limits episode, but this annoyance is weighing heavy on my frazzled mind.

I also highlighted five of the Nudie scripts so far - they get easier to do as I go, because people have less to do as I get down to the ensemble stuff.

I thought the concert was at 7 and it was at 8, which gave me an extra hour to socialize with our DR Jose, but made for a very long and tiring day. There were moments of the concert I lked but because of the set up, tickets to be picked up were slowly handled and the show started late. Intermission seemed endless. I thought there were wonderful moments but that it all went on for too long.

Now, I'm watching the finale of STEP IT UP AND DANCE.

Well, I'm glad I checked in here because I now have my Tivo set up to record Swingers or whatever in the heck it's called and also Fear Itself.

Good Evening!

I'm sorry I wasn't able to meet up with DR vixmom earlier, but I was able to meet up with DR elmore. We had a great meal at [brgr, and after a stroll through Chelsea - which included a stop in at Madeleine Patisserie for some macarons - we headed back to the FIT auditorium for the chorus concert.

As DR elmore stated, there were some highlights and some not-so-highlights. But, all in all, a very fun evening.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #313 on:** June 05, 2008, 08:55:52 PM »

DR elmore - I'm sorry I wasn't able to give you a proper goodbye on the train. So...

And thanks again for inviting me along tonight.

So, what's a "loss-less" music file? I've never heard of that (although, I must admit that I haven't been to iTunes in a while).

It's a higher quality download - and, consequently, a larger file to download. It's basically a true CD-quality file, instead of the usual modified iTunes file.

Other sites are offering Loss-Less files now too. -Especially some of the Classical Music companies.

JulieC40, nice to see you online. You are really going to love New York, but be careful you don't pre-plan too many shows or too many activities before you get there. You are going to want to have enough time to just enjoy the city; and you want to have enough free time for doing things that you hadn't even considered doing until you got there. I think the shows that you already have tickets for are all good choices. You are going to have a wonderful time.

Truly the best advice so far. Truly!

You want to leave NYC a little tired, but not totally exhausted.

DR Jose, our W Hotel in Atlanta has a restaurant called Spice Market, which is an off-shoot of one in NY. Have you been there? It sounds intriguing... (and expensive...).

Ah, good ole Jean-Georges!

It's a pretty good restaurant. Alas, the location here in NYC has gotten VERY trendy, and the place is always crowded. It can be an expensive meal, but I've had better "luck" with their appetizers and small plates - which also seems to be the consensus among most of the professional reviewers. The menu was inspired by Asian street food from various countries, so, consequently, the more basic dishes seem to work better than some of "inspired-by" dishes. -But your mileage may vary.

OH! Great cocktails!

Well, HAWAII FIVE-O is now put to bed, and I'll be starting a Criterion disc tomorrow. I already have it cued up in the player. Doesn't look like it has a ton of bonus features but some. It's one of their $29.95 discs, so those usually don't have as much content as the ones that go $10 higher.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #325 on:** June 05, 2008, 09:16:09 PM »

The train ride home was quite fun...

DR elmore was able to catch up with some of his NYCGMC buddies.

I was able to catch up briefly with the wonderful and talented Nancy Lemenager. She was my Ilona in She Loves Me at Arena Stage two years ago, and she's currently starring in Chicago.

*She's also the one who originally Enabled me - along with an assist from Sebastian LaCause - to the Joys of Levain, a.k.a. the COOKIES!

Now I'm heading downstairs to bed.

Good night.

JulieC40 · « **Reply #327 on:** June 05, 2008, 09:21:06 PM »

DR Jose, Your advice is definitely being taken. We are scheduled for a day tour that will take us all over and also includes an hour cruise so we can see the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue, and such. Should be fun. Do you happen to know any good music places where Billie Holiday might have played back in the day? I adore Billie, I think I own everything she ever did. Yes, really, even some bootlegs. *lol*

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #328 on:** June 05, 2008, 09:23:18 PM »

I also spied some "young people" doing some Filipino dance moves - the one where they hold candles - and they were also talking about the tinikling - the one with the bamboo poles. I just had to speak up since I used to play mandolin in Bayanihan when my family lived in Seattle. Ah, memories.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #329 on:** June 05, 2008, 09:24:24 PM »

DR JulieC40. I have to echo everyone else's advice about non-planned time. I try to go to NYC a couple times a year. Don't forget the time to wander endlessly or to go to Serendipity for a frozen hot chocolate, or just hang out in Central Park or Bryant Park and watch people.

OR, make some plans that you don't mind changing. if you can be flexible about stuff you will have a fabulous time. Not that you wouldn't anyway, but I've found that flexibility is key
