I did finally finish last week's FEAR ITSELF episode, and it was the worst the series has broadcast since it started last month. A really poorly written and badly acted story. (The lead girl was the female star of STEP UP 2 THE STREETS that I reviewed a couple of weeks ago.)

Hmmm... They just announced/confirmed average delays of 90 minutes at most of the NYC area airports.  They didn't specify whether that was for arrivals or departures or both.  However, now that the heavier rains have moved out, weather-related delays should "catch up" throughout the day.

*And it looks like tomorrow and Saturday will be quasi-good meteorologically speaking.

DR SINGDAW, I may have been remiss in stating my role in the current Indiana revival of that great great stage hit, Singin' In the Rain.

I am playing Roscoe Dexter, the director of silent films.....and talkies....  It is a very fun part, and his funniest scene in the movie is placed almost word for word into the stage play...."What's that noise?"  "The microphone's picking up her heartbeat."  "Swell...that's just swell....CUT!"

Douglas Fowley played the part in the movie with King Donovan as Rod the publicity man - they put me in the final scene at the theatre and last night gave me one of Rod's lines....one that he says twice, so I get to say it!  I told Ben, the guy playing Rod...."Well, that's show business."

The main problem I have is the people in the show who have NO idea what the show is about, and couldn't care less.  They don't really have a character (or their lines/lyrics) so a lot of the show is flat right now.

Time will, of course, tell....as it always does.  Lina is very funny.  Our website is down, but I will post some pictures when I get them.

Oh...and Kathy is not a size 12 as she said......

I did make the first step last night in trying to get to know my fellow cast members....tee-najers and all.  I asked a girl to help me with the finale steps...by the time we got to the end, most of the people in the cast had joined the group and introduced themselves and we were having a fine time.  There are some very nice kids....albeit not musical giants....in the show.  The girls are all very pretty....and the boys are trying very hard to do the dances....

Bit twice.  Am totally over it.

Of course when we got to the finale, suddenly two other people decided to join us on the platform and I didn't have any room to do the dance anyway...those two just decided to randomly open and close their umbrellas and stick them anywhere they wanted.....

The choreographer took them off the platform, and the second time through was a bit better.

DR RonP (and DR MBarnum), i'm not sure if you saw my BB post yesterday.


But i'm curious who you guys like and dislike.

As i said yesterday my favs are keesha and angie. Then memphis.

What did you think about who won HOH? Very curious to see who they will put up. I have NO IDEA!

I did see your post.

I don't have any big favorites.  I don't hate any of 'em yet, which seems a bit odd given that a few of them have already drawn a huge line and decided, somewhat arbitrarily and with very suspect reasoning, which of the houseguests are on which side of the line.

I totally did not get the deal with everyone wanting Steven out.  He was never a formal member of the Jerry-Brian-Dan-Ollie alliance.  What is very odd is that Jerry, Ollie and Dan have escaped the taint of Brian, but Steven paid the ultimate price just for being friendly toward Brian.  It's stupid to think Steven is a bigger threat than Dan, IMO....but I suspect a bit of it is due to his being gay.  They can talk a big game (Dan is the only one who has been honest about his initial feelings toward Steven in that regard) and cook up reaons why Steven "HAD" to go, but one reason I am going to accept is that the guys, for the most part, were seriously afraid of being outplayed, outwitted and outlasted by a gay man.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

If I had to say I favored any players right now, they would be Keesha, Angie and "Memphis" Bob.  I still have no problems with Jessie other than that he's too narcissistic and he's easily misled by others, especially Michelle who still leads him around by his nose.

Did Cherie do a big number on the baby grand?

Actually *Laurie* (who was Mae in my Reefer Madness musical) did!  And it was totally unexpected.  Unfortunately due to the set which determined the show, the piano is waaaaay out right at the lip of the stage and when she hoisted herself up on the piano we started rolling a bit, which frightened me.  :)

It's a little earlier than usual, but having gotten up so early this morning, I'm going to go downstairs and lie down awhile and just close my eyes. They feel too heavy for its just being 11 a.m.

I like BCBS.  It was one of the first - if not the first - spin-offs of Magnolia Bakery.  -It was opened by one of the former owners/founder of Magnolia. Their cupcakes come in a variety of flavors, and they sell a lot of other baked goodies.  *And their UWS location is just a few blocks away from Magnolia's UWS location, so if you wanted to do back-to-back taste test...  ;)

*And they're just two blocks from Levain too.  ;D
