I listened to about 45 minutes of the commentary with John Patrick Shanley. Interesting how he drew on his upbringing for the plot and characters, and he filmed much of it in familiar Bronx settings. It did seem very authentic.

It's been a nice day today. The multicultural fair was interesting and the food was great!  I went with the Indian food - curried chicken with lentils and basmati rice. But there was so much other good food that I took a barbeque ribs dinner from Three Brotherz home for dinner.  They were the best barbeque ribs I've ever had and the baked beans...YUM! 

I did some yard work, played with the cats, backed up my computer and installed some new software in the Wind.  Relaxing and nice...  I like days like this

I'm glad you're feeling better to enjoy it!

Good Evening!

Today's rehearsal went very well.  We started off with a stop-and-fix-and-re-start run of Act Two, then after a long break, we started back at the top of the show, and ran as much as we could until the stage manager called, "Time".  The things that were supposed to be there were there - for the most part.  The things we knew in advance that would not be there, were not there.  And we have a reasonable list of things to run and routine throughout the upcoming week of rehearsals.  All in all, with two weeks to go before we go into tech, we are where we are supposed to be.

Whew!

I watched all of the other special features, too. None were really outstanding. I did enjoy one with the real Sisters of Charity (including the real Sister James) talking about how their Order had changed over the years.

I had enough time to watch an episode of something (NCIS, DANTE'S COVE, or THE OFFICE off the DVR), but I wanted to go ahead and get the review written, so I just closed down everything and came upstairs to work.

And THAT was my evening!

Nursie, I liked LITTLE DORRIT very much. The first episode is typical: a million characters to keep track of and a lot of information that will pay off later. I first thought Mrs Clennim was a nice old lady but the wonderful actress Judy Parfitt imakes her a mass of contradictions and I am wondering if she may be perhaps not such a nice old lady.

I do believe this novel may contain the first British lesbian in print; the only other ones I can think of  in 19th-century literature are the whore-actress Nana who flaunts her lover in front of the men paying her for sex in Zola's novel and Mlle Danglars and her singing teacher in THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO.

No, but it sounds like one of MBarnum's movies.

We just Skyped with Craig.  He went to a non-profit job fair during the week & had a phone interview today.  He has a few possibilities in the works & could use some good vibes.

Sad team elimination on TAR tonight.

And now I am watching ANY DREAM WILL DO about the search for a new JOSEPH for a London production....on BBC America but the show is a couple of years old, so my guess is the production has come and gone.....

I watched a little bit of it, but recorded it to watch later.  I also watched the special with John Barrowman about him trying to find out why he's gay.  Very interesting and enlightening. :)

I'm watching Celebrity Apprentice.  Yeah, it's stupid, but for some reason I like it.  Dennis Rodman is supposed to have a melt down tonight....I think it's getting close.

I only watched the first episode of this season.  I lost interest very quickly.  I was thinking about watching it (even with Dennis Rodman's meltdown), but there are other things that I want to watch because "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers and Sisters" aren't on.  I have all but one episode of the new show "Castle."  I haven't watched any, yet.  I'll see how I like this show.

Otherwise today, I watched the four episodes of "Reaper," then two episodes of "How I Met Your Mother" and the aforementioned John Barrowman special on BBC America.  I haven't done much of anything else today...and that was the plan. ;D

And since NBC is so short on - and starved for - programming, "The Celebrity Apprentice" is now being given two hours each Sunday night, so we're seeing a lot of padding.  A lot.
