Good Afternoon!

My afternoon rehearsal is done, and now I'm contemplating, what else, my dining options for the evening.

What a crazy - and at times sad - news days... Everything from the great news out of Iowa... To the shootings and hostage situation in Binghamton, NY... An earthquake in Argentina... And I just read something about a couple of houses being washed away in Whidbey Island in Washington state..

Howdy, DR Miss Karen!!!!

Good to see that some things never change! -Or is more a case of "refuse to change"?

Ca va very bien, merci!

I almost got something for you 2 days ago: a 1946 book (Very good condition) on Sainte-Beuve!
It only had a few poems though and the rest was all serious text!

The price was "ridiculously low" ... like Eliza!

Oh my, look at the time -- how it does fly here at HHW (see, that's why I'm often E and T, there are days I just can't allow myself to get pulled into the HHW Posting Vortex...)

Gotta scram! Adieu!

If any DRs are coming into NYC before May 2, I recommend enthusiastically that you get to the Lincoln Center NYPL and check out the women designers' exhibit; it is phenominal: a great display of costumes from the past 75 years, beautiful designs by Caroline Siedle (2 original 1903 costume plates from BABES IN TOYLAND!) to the present, including some great Zipprodt designs for PIPPIN, a lot of models for sets, and on video curtain calls and scenes from many plays and musicals including the 1973 CANDIDE, the Cherry Jones productions of DOUBT and THE HEIRESS, DREAM GIRLS, and others) and video interviews with Tharon Musser, Patricia Zipprodt, Florence Klotz, Julie Taymor, and many others. It is truly an amazing exhibit.

The costume plate that stopped me short was a set of costumes for a revue from either the early 1920s or before, but my first reaction was "penises?" and after consideration, I think they're supposed to be hot dogs. I THINK! Or dancing dildos.

I cannot imagine you having such a reaction.

In Carol Channing's defense, I have to say that amongst all the dishy theatrical gossip I heard during the period I worked at Drama Book Shop through 1998, I never heard about any leaks from Ms Channing. Cathleen Nesbett, yep, but not Channing, so I wonder how true the story may be.

DAW · « **Reply #138 on:** April 03, 2009, 12:56:25 PM »

But thanks for the tip on the exhibit, DR elmore3003!!!

I'm surprised you're still typing and not driving into the City to check it out.

Let there be peas on earth, and let it begin with Carol Channing.

Well, the best laid plans, etc., etc., etc....

I had my entire day planned so I could get everything I needed to acoomplish in the morning including going about an hour early to the bank and grocery store, all so I'd have the complete afternoon free to review the Blu-ray of GIGI when it arrived.

Only, the USPS just isn't playing ball. It did not make it here today.

Isn't there a Vonnegut book wherein "Taking a leak" mean looking in a mirror?

So, while I ate lunch, I watched BETTER OFF TED. This week was the third episode, but it's the first one I've seen all the way through, and I found it a droll, rather witty comedy similar in tone to the early years of SCRUBS.

I've always thought Jay Harrington was just a doll, and Portia di Rossi is a stitch. Other roles are also well cast and amusingly played. If this runs (ratings have just been fair), I may add it to my viewing queue, especially since LIFE ON MARS is now gone and I have no desire to start with THE UNUSUALS which is replacing it.

I had to go out for a few hours. I don't think there are as many fish now as when I left. Looks like the netting didn't help.

Matt H. · « **Reply #148 on:** April 03, 2009, 01:25:33 PM »

For the remainder of the afternoon, I watched more HAWAII FIVE-O. I have now watched 10 of the set's 24 episodes. I may be able to squeeze in one more before we leave for Winston-Salem later this afternoon.

Matt H. · « **Reply #149 on:** April 03, 2009, 01:26:58 PM »

Some good guest stars in some of these shows including a very young A. Martinez in the last one I watched. In another Murray Matheson was the chief bad guy in a really clever story about fleecing people out of their inheritances. Lawrence Pressman was also in that one.
