I fell asleep for a while after my can  but my Mom called and woke me up.  Oh well.

We don't have any paid choir members - just our organist/music director gets paid, everyone else is a volunteer

Better than falling asleep "on" the can, eh!

Feel Better VIBES for Matthew

[Jrand73]

I think MR BK is correct and a traveling matte was used so that for those moments, the double's arm was in the frame, while the rest of Granger was still there.....sounds complicated to me.....but I haven't seen it for awhile.

It's kind of like Bette Davis in A STOLEN LIFE when in many scenes the body of the double stayed in the shot, but Bette's head was matted in......

[Jrand73]

But of course.....I could be completely mistaken....I haven't shot a special effects movie for years.

No, I'm feeling not so weird today, mood-wise.

I found this online report on the concert version of A Little Night Music:

A starry, likely once-in-a-lifetime cast assembled for what turned out to be a thrilling, unforgettable benefit reading of this Sondheim masterpiece, yet to be revived on Broadway. Some were revisiting roles played elsewhere before (Victor Garber, Marc Kudisch), but most were coming fresh: all showed up, despite the limited rehearsal time, with fully realized performances. Natasha Richardson and Vanessa Redgrave, the benefit's greatest casting coup, would have been more than enough on their own to make the evening special - Richardson's beguiling performance as Desiree capped with her nakedly emotional rendition of "Send In The Clowns", Redgrave's expert line readings bringing comic zing and fresh vitality to Madame Armfeldt - but all the casting was inspired. With her rare talent for barbing a one-liner, Christine Baranski has long seemed like she'd be a sensational Charlotte, and she was: the comic chemsitry between her and Kudisch, an absolutely ideal Carl-Magnus, was musical theatre heaven. I wasn't surprised that Stephen Pasquale aced young idealistic Henrik, but I was stunned that Jill Paice, an eleventh hour replacement for Laura Benanti, proved to be a revelation as child-bride Anne. Many have stumbled in the role, condascending to it rather than playing the girlishness with conviction, but Paice got it exactly right. As Petra, otherwise known as the servant who gets to sing "The Miller's Son" in the second act, Kendra Kassebaum was in the same league as Natascia Diaz, who brought down the house a few years back in the role at the Kennedy Center: high praise indeed. Because the full orchestra was center stage, and the actors seated to the sides except when needed at the row of stools at music stands, I sometimes found myself looking over at Vanessa Redgrave as she watched her fellow actors. Emotionally engaged, curious, highly attentive and ready with applause: she's not only the greatest living actress, she's probably the world's greatest audience member.

Translation:  "I paid a lot of money for my ticket."

[DAW]

Well, that's good, right?

I just futzed with some stuff I wrote yesterday, wrote another paragraph, and that will be it until I return from the breakfast meeting.  I suppose I should shave so I don't look like a derelict.

That's our DR DtM - always getting right to the meat of the matter!

Ever since the New York Times article this past weekend, I've been browsing the movie and TV show listings on Hulu.com .  I'm not too impressed with the offerings so far, but I did come across some episodes of THE DAVID SUSSKIND SHOW.  A show from the 60s, with guest Mary Tyler Moore, is so typical of talk shows of the day with a host even as supposedly high-minded as Susskind resorting to anyone or anything for entertainment. 

Poor Mary...

check the batteries.

We have been replacing them almost everyday - sometimes it works again if we just take the batteries out and put them in again - I think we need a new remote - the problem is its the one Cablevision supplies so I donlt know what is involved in getting a new one

If anyone is a fan of Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Richie Valens..this year is the 50th Anniversary of the plane crash.  The Des Moines Register has a really good tribute at their site and the Surf Ballroom (yup it's still there) is having a bit Winter party.

I'm soooo confused - if someone says they're leaving from a job, and everyone else relies on that, what right does that perosn have to hold on to his or her position?

[Cillaliz]

Ummmm.....was Cillaliz planning on walking to work?

Do they have an office near by?   You can usually just stop in and they'll exchange it on the spot
