They put a wig on him yesterday as a last minute change to make sure the audience realizes he's not Mr. Twimble from the Mail Room but Mr. Womper, the Chairman of the Board of World Wide Wickets. Let's just say it didn't work. As soon as the show was over the note came in to "cut the wig" Anthony is happy again.

And to top it off:

These seemingly innocent "cakes" are instead a threat to all the sugary goodness we hold dear. Observe:

Once sliced, you will note that these "cakes" are not cakes at all. Instead, they are layers of various meat and mayo-based salads, bread, and then - here's the worst part - "iced" with cream cheese. Note how the creators of these twisted impostors then push the deception even further by decorating the "cakes" with little roses, vines, and piped borders.

I ask you, fellow carb-lovers, are we to allow such cake defamation to stand? Will we sit idly by while our children and grandchildren are subjected to cakes that are not cakes? And if so, what next? Liverwurst doughnuts? Tuna-filled eclairs? Meat pies? (Oh, wait...)

Good morning, all! It was my intention to staay in bed as long as I wished this morning, but the phone call at 8:30 from Robert Kimball had enough good news to make getting out of bed worthwhile.

I have to run down to Staples for paper, ink, and blank CDs this morning, and then I see the doctor at 3:15. I have some Lady of the Slipper work and the Christmas charts to play in between.

BK-- Congratulations on even moe weight loss.

If I could get a job being your assistant (and if it would support me in the expensive environs of Los Angeles, I would.  Maybe working at the 3 Dog Bakery in Santa Monica or the Farmer's Market --although I'd prefer Santa Monica-- AND being your assistant to handle all those pesky things that you are far too busy to do might just work.  Then you could just jog, write and sit there like so much fish  (and produce wonderful CD's, of course).

I think I'll have papa's eggs and fruit for breakfast and then have just a salad or something for dinner, as the food at the Gardenia is nothing to write home about.

TOD - Marissa Tomei's "Imagine you're a deer" monologue from My Cousin Vinnie.




Ha! My sister and mother, who between them can recognize maybe five classic movie lines, can quote that movie pratically verbatim. For me, as an instrumental chemistry nerd, the best scene was the forensic scientist describing his Hewlett-Packard 5890 Series II gas chromatograph, an instrument that in my heyday I could strip down and repair blindfolded.

Among my other fave lines:
"A burp is spontaneous. A burp is not romantic!"
"Do you like your grits regular or al dente?" (actually, that whole interrogation scene)
"Oh, I'll show you hostility!"
"b*lls-on accurate?" "It's a technical term."
"Oh, a counter-offer!"
"Oh, you mean that every time you win, you'll have to thank somebody?... what a @#!@ nightmare!"

I saw Ms. Tomei in Comedy of Errors in Central Park lo these many years ago with several dear friends... *sigh* ... dem were the days.

I saw her in the short-lived and very bad revival of Wait Until Dark - she didn't have enough stage star presence but she was very good.  Quentin Tarantino, on the other hand, was absolutely dreadful, and the rest of the cast was just oke.

TOD:  in no particualr order:

Marie Dressler's scenes with Jean Harlow in "Dinner at 8"

Natalie Wood's reactions to Dorothy Provine in "The Great Race"


Catherine Schell's reactions to Peter Sellers in "Return of the Pink Panther"

A few of Peter Sellers' moments in "The party"

Laurel and Hardy in much of "Way Out West"-- especially their charming dance sequence

Joanna Barnes in "Auntie Mame"

Peggy Cass in "Auntie Mame"  ("I'm a bride!")


Richard Libertini performing the wedding in "Best Friends"

Richard Libertini in "The In-Laws"

Maggie Smith in "California Suite"

The tea scene with Joan Greenwood in "The Importance of Being Earnest"   ("You have given me CAKE.")

Almost anything that Edward Everett Horton ever did.

That's a start.

I did a scene very similar to that once when I was spelling the name of the church over the phone. Sandra was in stitches.

Having "Wait Until Dark" and "Night Must Fall" playing on Broadway at almost the same time was one of the more interesting quirks of that season, as memory serves.

There really aren't enough good creep-fests on Broadway anymore.

There aren't any.  One of the joys of writing my play Deceit was to write in that form, and like the play or not, the audience reaction, especially before the unfortunate reviews came out, was fantastic - laughs, hushed silence, and vocal audience reaction at the end of act one when a rather brutal murder occurs.  Once the reviews hit, the audiences had read them and believed them, or a few had, and the reaction was never quite the same.  But, that first and second week of performances was really fun, save for opening night when my darling publicist filled the theater with critics who sat there sending the most negative energy toward the stage that I've ever experienced.  It was palpable.  Over HALF the audience were critics - really bad idea, and it hurt us quite a bit.  Oh, we got about four raves from smaller papers, but the majors really had it in for us.  I wonder if we did the exact same show (with a new leading lady) in the exact same way for different critics today if it would get a better critical reception.

But I love that sort of play, and there hasn't been a successful new one on B'way since Deathtrap.  I had high hopes for Deceit - maybe someday I'll do it again.
