And I ended my afternoon watching today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Yep, the boys were all present and accounted for though the action was ludicrous in that soap opera way of things happening due to a lack of communication and ricidulous choices made when the problems had already been addressed over and over in previous episodes.

Are you saying the writers are now typing but their brains are still on strike?

Well, let's just say it's business as usual.

I'm hopping off-line now to write and then will head back down to finish the bonus features, watch some of FANTASIA (time permitting) and then watch ELI STONE.

Aren't we fortuate to have creative directors like John Doyle who can increase productivity by having the actors double as musicians!

Not to mention the cost effectiveness of replacing the whole instrument playing crowd with tape - thank you Susan Strohman.

der Brucer



Snarkiness aside, even productions which seem to adopt "cost-cutting" measures of any sort are also in trouble right now.

*And her last name is spelled: Stroman.  -"Ballets" and "dance pieces", more often than not, rely on - use - taped "accompaniments.  And since she had choreographed the three sections in Contact to pre-existing music, well..  At least Contact sounded better in the theatre, than the "it might as well have been canned" orchestra for Fosse.

**And the word is spelled: fortunate.

***And I actually didn't mind the "doubling" in Sweeney Todd and Company, and the origin of that practice was also a "space-saving" one, not purely an economic one.

Interesting article......but a LOT of problems with SOME theaters are exactly what is mentioned in passing in that one sentence....

".....problems with management and governance......"

Libby Appel anyone?  What theater is she destroying now?

And I'm back!

*I have to say that the MTA gods have certainly been smiling on my lately.  There was a train "waiting" for me when I got down to the platform, and the same thing happened for my return trip.  Of course, I could have just walked the 20 blocks, but... Nah! ;)

I've opened all of the mail and I have two bills to pay to be au courant with my 2008 receipts. One of the packages I opened hadKristin Chenowith's Christmas album, which I kind of am enjoying.  I hate it when she goes all Country and starts dropping G's and substituting "Ah'm" for "I'm" and I know she's from Oklahoma but i doubt she was ever that twangy.

And my Complete Oxford Jane Austen edition arrived. Yay!

I still have a lot of gifts to wrap. Oy.

Kristin's Christmas CD grew on me after a second play.  Even the non-holiday songs work for me, like "Sing A Song".

I am awaiting a package today that will include Aretha Franklin's Christmas outing along with Yo Ma Ma's.

I never knew they were gay.

Truth be told,  I was going by the apparel which they donned.

And, YEP!, they're CUTE!

And this is my favorite pic from the few that I was able to take yesterday - it was very hard to get them to stand still for more than a few seconds at a time.  -And my Mom/Grandma had also used up her "picture allowance" for the day too. ;)

Well I had Chemo yesterday - the new Drugs along in conjunction with the  HWW Vibes seem to be working - so far no nausea although I have been sleeping constantly - 

Yay!

(Yay not for your sleeping constantly--though you probably do need to do that--but Yay for no nausea.)

So, Yay!

Just found the box of capes and Spandex/tights in the HHW costume closet -- all kinds of choices -- Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Rubber Band Man or Mr. Elastic or whatever he's called, Captain Atom, Captain Canuck (from Canada ... DR Jennifer?) or his spoof Captain Canucklehead, The Flash, Huntress, Green Lantern, Super Commando Dhruva (from India -- bet DR Mikey is gonna want that one, right, Mikey?) -- of course, we could also custom make some like The Enabler or The Temptress with a giant Levain cookie logo ... the sky is the limit ...

I call dibs on Green Lantern!



As far back as I can remember, Green Lantern was always my favorite superhero.  I remember that as a kiddie, his costume just screamed "Super Hero!" to me (among other things, I'm sure...)

Among today's piles of mail were two envelopes from NY State Dept of Taxation for amounts they claim due on my 2003 and 2004 returns totalling about $6000! I am completely floored since i thought this was all handled two years ago. Of course, to complicate matters, my tax accountant is out of town till next Monday. Grrrrrrrrrrr!

DR elmore - I sincerely hope that that is an oversight on the part of the State.  In the meantime, since you - nor your tax man - can do anything until Monday, just file it away for a few days, and enjoy the final days of 2008 and the first few of 2009.  Everything is shutting down for the long weekend, so just breathe and enjoy the break.

Cilla - I love your make-the-best-of-annoying-pet-habits approach to the day.  Since Dylan's an early-riser (and woke me up early today, putting in his breakfast order :) ), i will try to carry what i'm calling the Cilla plan into my day today and be more productive than usual.

 ;D
It worked for me today.  I had a motion and brief to do and still had time to do some other research and walk over to a furniture store that was supposedly having a big sale.   I didn't see any bargains, but it was a nice break I had time for due to the early start

I have a computer question. And i was wondering if someone here new a simple answer.

I'm using a widescreen computer monitor.

I have a lot of pictures saved on my computer (and disks). But now i am not seeing them in their proper dimensions. They are all stretched.

Is there a simple way i can view them?

Thanks to anyone who wants to attempt to explain this. :)
