I got up so early this morning that I had an hour to spare so I watched another HAWAII FIVE-O episode after reading the Sunday paper.

This was the comedy episode of the season (Hume Cronyn starred in the lighter episodes the last two seasons that I've reviewed), and this year Andy Griffith and Joyce Van Patten played con artists who mistakenly take a briefcase of the mob's money and try to stay two steps ahead of them so they can keep it.

I haven't yet decided whether I'll be watching CSI: NY or SMALLVILLE as I cook and eat lunch, but it will likely be one of those two shows. There are still others on the DVR that I hope to get to at some point today, but I don't know yet.

I recall seeing a production of SILK STOCKINGS in Seattle back in the late 1950s or early 1960s.  It starred TV game show host Jan Murray, who couldn't sing, but was a last minute replacement for the show's original star, Don Ameche.

The play was certainly not a great show, but it was fun, as was the movie with Fred Astaire.

If you're going to do classic plays/musicals like SILK STOCKINGS, THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER, ARSENIC AND OLD LACE and the like, you should keep them set within their original time frame.  Otherwise, it makes no sense to do them at all.

I recall chatting with a director of a community theatre production of A THOUSAND CLOWNS, a play I'd directed some years before.  My son, David, was playing the kid in this staging.

This director was re-writing Herb Gardner's lines.  Claimed he always re-wrote a play when he directed it. 

I wanted to strangle the guy.

I almost never make it to 8 a.m. I guess all those years of getting up early for teaching just have it burned into my brain. I wish it could be otherwise . . . (a LI'L ABNER reference).

And now I'm going to head downstairs to get clothes ready for washing and then think about what's going to be my lunch for today.

I was very disappointed in watching How The West Was Won. I really wanted to like it, but couldn't get through the soap opera. Although the action scenes are amazing and how they placed all three camera to get the shots kept me wondering.

Anyone like it?

BK - Is it possible your body still hasn't adjusted to the time change of just last week?


Probably a stupid diagnosis, but it's a post.  :)

How The West Was Won, as I even wrote in Kritzer Time, was one of the first epic roadshow films that I didn't love.  I saw it a few times in Cinerama, just because the scope of it was so huge and impressive, but I didn't respond to the film much and that was very unusual for me back in those days.  I can barely sit through it now, especially when the color is bland, courtesy of Warners.

Sunday morning greetings!  No church for us today, because DH Richard has a very bad cold.  Soon I will go shopping for the ingredients for the 2 things he requested - pot roast (today) and chili (tomorrow).

So...who's having rice pudding for breakfast this morning?  :)



Poo - that looks like rice soup.

That is boiled rice pudding, Ann and I are in for the baked variety!

It dishes up like this:

This looks MUCH more appealing :)

Listening to a very strange CD - a demo of what was a proposed musical of Midnight Cowboy, with music by Joe Harnell and lyrics by Larry Alexander.

DR Danise, I’ve driven in Pittsburgh & found some of the high traffic, rather narrow, streets a bit unnerving when I didn’t know where I was going.

DR Ginny, try not to catch DH Richard’s cold.   Feel better soon vibes for him.

Thanks, DR Jane!  My mom also was fighting a cold when I saw her yesterday, so I fear I'm doomed.  In the next several weeks, I do not have time to be sick!

Was I too mean to Silk Stockings?  I tend to get really annoyed at supbar work, but sometimes I forget how many people read the notes.

That is too bad that SILK STOCKINGS wasn't so hot. I love the movie and it would be fun to see it in stage, if it were good, that is.

Good Morning!  Good Afternoon!

I'm up, I'm up... And after sleeping in (again), I'm still up early enough to head to brunch with my roommate, Jim, and some other friends.  We'll be heading down to Eatery in about an hour or so... And I'm sure a gay time will be had by all.  ;)

As for Rice Pudding...

I liked the baked version, but I prefer the stove top, still-creamy version.  Otherwise, I'd just make a noodle kugel.  ;)

*I don't mind raisins, but I prefer my rice pudding with dried cherries and toasted almonds.

When I saw it in Cinerama back when it first came out, I was blown away by the train robbery sequence.  I thought it was the most amazing action sequence I'd ever seen.

I still think it's pretty amazing, mainly because it's "real".  No cgi.

A stunt man (Yvonne de Carlo's husband) lost his leg while shooting that sequence.

...And if I had my choice between Rice Pudding and Tapioca Pudding, I'd probably pick the Tapioca.

*Of course, whenever I'm down in SoHo, and happen to be near Rice to Riches, well.... :)
