I'm in a rainy-day kind of mood.

Maybe I should have saved
Those leftover dreams
Funny
But here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day
They told me about
And I laughed at the thought
That it might turn out this way
Where is that worn out wish
That I threw aside
After it brought my love so near
Funny how love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here
It's funny
How love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I'm guessing I probably should not have indulged in all the "birthday food" that was set out at the theatre yesterday. Well, I know I shouldn't have. But at least I'm off today (during the day), and I had some antacids in my dop kit.

And it looks like it will be a rainy day here in Charleston too. Perfect for lounging around the apartment.

CD: John Doan. What gorgeous music.

DVD/BD: Just finished FALLEN ANGEL--highly recommended. Working through HALLELUJAH! (UK comedy about the Salvation Army, with virtually no Loesser tunes) and the BD of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.

And may I just say that some self-appointed experts are quite upset when they find out someone has more information about a given subject than they do.

Just got a really nice e-mail from someone - a guy who works for AMC. FJL knows him, because they allowed him to use some music from Starfighter in some episode or program. So, this guy sometimes does themed screenings for audiences somewhere, comprised of clips. They did one recently for Sci-Fi musicals. Here's what he had to say about it:

Besides doing the web-show for AMC I host a monthly screening arranged around a theme. In December I hosted Sci-Fi Musicals -- featuring numbers from Forbidden Zone, The Apple, even the Carpenters TV Special "Space Encounters". But hands-down the audience favorite was "I Want to Eat Your Face". It killed. I grew up watching the movie on VHS so I never had the pleasure of seeing it with a crowd. When the clip ended (after Dr. Stark says "What were you expecting Rogers & Hart?!") someone in the audience said "Where can I buy that movie?"

After the show, a writer from The Daily Show came up to me and said that he was amazed by your song. "It was supposed to be funny. And it was funnny." (As opposed to all the unintentionally funny clips we saw, or the ones that tried to be funny, but weren't.)

As for the Friday Media Check...

CDs via iPod:
The Producers OCR - Mainly to reference just how to say and sing "Bialy" and "Bialystock".
"Wearing Someone Else's Clothes" - Jason Robert Brown
"The Bens" - EP

Plus lots of NPR via WSCI (SCETV) 89.3 FM.

...And will the writer from "The Daily Show" try to get the clip onto "The Daily Show"?

From JMK:

Quote

I will don my curmudgeon's cloak for a moment and say that 102 mph on Oregon's 101 is INSANE!! It is a tiny, two-lane highway for most of its length, with sheer cliffs on one side. Your friend needs to think about the other drivers on the road.

I agree. My heart raced a bit when I read such a speed along the coast. Good for the judge.

Laura · « **Reply #85 on:** March 27, 2009, 09:41:29 AM »

DakotaCelt left me a voice mail last night saying she was planning on leaving this morning.

Jane · « **Reply #86 on:** March 27, 2009, 09:45:48 AM »

Thank you. I hope you hear from her again once she is settled.

While most of the articles I've read keep raising the expected crest of the river, I just read one that said it is slowing & might not go as high. I can't find anything else confirming this. I think breaking the record is enough, it can stop rising now.

Lots of Cheyenne episodes on the DVR as well as a 1952 movie titled THE PACE THAT THRILLS.

On DVD I have more ROOM 222 and THAT GIRL...a great combo!

All you need are some episodes of THE FLYING NUN and BEWITCHED and it's 1969 all over again!

If I saw someone doing that to my hardwood floors, I would go to my bedroom closet to get my shot gun.

If I didn't own a shot gun, I would promptly go out and purchase one.

I think I might even join the NRA.
