TCB, lucky you! Gary Essendine is one of those roles I hope to play before I get too old for it.

Wow, I knew that I was really tired. I just woke up from sleeping 15 hours.

Welcome Embolism

Dear MattH, I think I'll watch Sin City tonight. It's still in plastic, probably has been on the shelf for 6 mo.

Dear TCB, My eyes did the same thing many years ago. Not 20/20, I still wear bifocals at work for all the close desk work, but rarely need glasses at home.

Must go pick something up in Toluca Lake.

Looks cold outside, but sunny right now.

There was announced a gay version of Private Lives. The couples were two men. Who knows this being Noel Coward it just might have been

It's gray and cloudy, but the rain has stopped. $:-\$

My left eye, which used to be the same as my right eye in terms of being out of focus when seeing far, is now 20/20 - my right eye has gotten a little worse. So, I'm always half in and half out of focus when looking at things, and my glasses correct the right eye and leave the left eye as it is.

Back from doing errands.

Since it was written for him and Gertrude Lawrence, I sincerely doubt that.

This attitude "he's gay himself, so he must be writing about a gay couple" is ridiculous. It's like the rumor about VIRGINIA WOOLF written for gay couples originally; if that were the case, I doubt Albee would have stopped attempts to do such a production.

Thanks, CP, I loved playing Garry. I also played David Bliss.

Maybe for both of us, it was a case of being blind drunk.

Good Afternoon!

Greetings from Technical Reheareal #2. -Which is actually feeling like a typical tech rehearsal. That's not good, not bad, just is.

My TWO FOR THE SEESAW CD arrived today!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #108 on:** April 11, 2009, 12:59:51 PM »

As for the Topic of the Day...

Plays I've seen:

Blithe Spirit
Design For Living - which I think is my favorite Noel Coward play.
Private Lives
Present Laughter
Hay Fever

-The Olney Theatre in Olney, MD, would regularly produce at least one Coward or Coward-esque play each season. I even provided the piano soundtrack for their production of Design For Living.

Songs:

"If Love Were All"
"Nina" - It's fun to play.

Back from a great set of errands.

Just for fun I stopped by the Discovery Store in Toluca Lake, someone has just donated maybe 5000 comic books, all still in plastic. The men were buying 50 at a time, all at $l.00 ea.

Honey Baked Ham, the line was out the door. I pickup up my ham, and just for fun their dried soup mix for leftovers. Also 2 of their corn bread mixes, one regular and one with cranberries, yum. And from their imported section, sauerkraut and red cabbage, yum.

Trader Joe's was also busy, I can't go to Tom's for dinner without bringing him a bottle of their citrus vodka. And I found some roses that still have scent (almost all flowers have no smell at all anymore) so I treated myself to roses.

Then I drove by the 2 houses in Toluca Lake that I used to hang out at. The house on Valley Spring Lane (many stories I can not tell) my friend and I would sneak out her bedroom window and onto the golf course (which was their back yard) at night. Anyway, the address is not even there, the house is gone and now 3 new monoliths reside with new addresses. Sad, it was a really beautiful Spanish style 5 million dollar home.

When I had my army physical for the draft, the doctor saw that one eye had a positive focus and one eye had a negative focus (my right; the one in which I'm legally blind). He told me he had never seen anything like my eye stats.

Didn't matter a bit. I was still classified 1-A.

While I ate lunch I watched last Wednesday night's CSI: NY. 1st runner up from several seasons ago Katherine McPhee was the primary guest star and yes, she did get to sing in one scene in the episode. A kind of interesting premise but a bland execution.

And the opening scene with Flack in bed with his girl friend I could also have done without, a totally superfluous scene unless they plan to kill her off by the end of the season and are setting him up for heartbreak.

For the remainder of the afternoon, between phone calls, I watched the bonus features on the second disc of the Blu-ray of SIN CITY. I got through all of them but one which I'll watch as soon as I go back down.

I'm glad I had seen the movie before since seeing all this behind the scenes stuff takes some of the magic away from the production's very special look and feel.

I think the most interesting of the featurettes was on the 14 different vintage cars that are used in the movie. I'm about as ignorant as a person can be about car makes and models, but even I appreciated the beauty and appropriateness of these cars as part of the world of these eccentric characters.

DR Elmore,

How faithful is the MGM musical version of BITTER SWEET with MacDonald and Eddy compared to the stage version? I would guess not very, but I'm not sure.
