Welcome Bevan.  Well, Panni is not having the problem I am, so maybe my AOL software magically became corrupt in the eight hours I slept.

Since the computer at home is still down, I can't say whether we're having AOL trouble.

Welcome Bevan!

I'm in a Leontyne Price sort of mood right now, so I think I shall put Aida on the turntable.  Or maybe Il Trovatore.  Or perhaps Un Ballo in Maschera.  Decisions, decisions.

My friend Salah just returned from NYC. Last evening we were having dinner together at another friend's - a delicious (and garlicky) homemade Lebanese meal. I asked Salah about New York, and he said Wicked was so boring that he walked out during intermission. Later I dreamed that I was at the Gershwin Theatre - third row, center - and was having the most splendid time seeing Wicked. There was only one glitch. The guy in front of me kept moving his head.

Would anyone care to analyze that?

Piece of cake (Dobos)... You're feeling a bit guilty about thinking that your friend Salah is silly to have walked out on WICKED. On the other hand, as he's you're friend and you probably respect his opinions, part of you is thinking that he may be right. Which makes you feel equally guilty because so many of your friends at HHW love the show. Your subconscious has to somehow illuminate the dilemma. So in your dreams it takes you to the theater to see WICKED for yourself. You're having a splendid time (the HHW loyalty) but also a terrible time (the Salah loyalty). Thus, both sides of the emotional landscape you are exploring are reflected in your dream experience of the show. (Now if the man in front of you were smoking a cigar, the analysis would be QUITE different. On the other hand, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.)
...That will be $200. (American funds, please).

Paging Dr. Panni :)

C'mon people - I am majorly bored right now (NDE are simply NOT as much fun as I thought they were)

Regale me with humourous tidbits toute suit! :D

Obviously, the guy in front of you at the theater represents your friend.  His negative opinion of the show is getting in the way of you enjoy Wicked as much as you thought you would.

I don't get to watch Will & Grace too much because I usually watch Survivor (& The Apprentice).

Cool!  Another Apprentice viewer!  I am so hooked into this show (it's the only reality show I've stuck with since the first go-round of Survivor.)

Panni you missed your true calling in life...

My true calling was to be a Broadway diva. Only my voice and dancing abilities got in the way.
The reason I can fake dream analysis is that one of my best friends is aces at it. He's even written a book on the subject, which DR Jane ordered a while back. I would phone him up whenever I had an interesting dream (one of them is in his book) and he would analyze it until the cows came home. (Cows in dreams represent...)

How about a little Porgy and Bess?  Her recording with William Warfield is the greatest.

What I coincidence - I missed out on that same true calling (although you can add a lack of acting talent to the mix as well!) :)

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Sorry, I don’t have time to read the posts yet and must hurry out for a doctor’s appointment.  But first, Echo is wet from her bath and waiting, (sure she is) for me to blow her dry with the hairdryer.

Welcome to our newest DR Bevan.

DR Emily: I want to see L5Y too! :(

I also want to see The Producers and Hairspray and Urinetown (all in Toronto).  Maybe we should live there!

For DR Dan: Yes I really do like The Apprentice.  Even last night's recap episode was fun.  But it is interesting how the first to go were the men. And now he's been getting rid of all the women.  There are only 2 women left (and 4 men).

To me the only possible winner is Amy.  Everyone else is less than stellar.

Oh and for DR MBarnum: RE: Survivor, it should be interesting to see if they have to change teams again (totally unfair to the dominant tribe, but I bet Amber & Rob - even if separated, will still work together. Can we say THROWN CHALLENGE!).

Oh and I finally got some low carb ice cream - I haven't tried it yet, but I have it.  Do they only make vanilla?

***WARNING - LEVITY AHEAD***

My latest Straight Dope newsletter reports:

Can Tupperware cause botulism? (Eskimo version)
19-Mar-2004

(excerpts)

On August 17, 2001, the "Morbidity and Mortality Weekly," published by the Centers for Disease Control, noted that three persons in a southwest Alaskan village had come down with botulism after eating fermented beaver tail and paw…No mention is made of Tupperware.

·According to a 2003 planning document from the Alaska Department of Health & Social Services, in the late 90s a woman contracted botulism after eating "stink eggs" at a dinner party in Sitka. The stink eggs--basically a mixture of salmon roe and seal oil--had been fermented in Tupperware on top of the refrigerator. To confirm the toxin's source, two public health nurses had to go Dumpster diving until they found a discarded Tupperware container full of ripe stink eggs.

So you're the marketing manager for Tupperware's Alaska division. You've got time-honored and for all you know sacred native food-preparation practices on the one hand, botulism on the other, and your company's reliably, nay, proudly airtight container in the middle. You know there's nothing especially pernicious about Tupperware--in this context, even a bucket sealed with plastic wrap could cause trouble--but nonetheless the brand's good name is in peril. What do you do? Put a little slip inside each Tupperware container saying "Not Recommended for Making Stink Eggs"? Apply for a job at Sears selling socket-wrench sets? Well, suck it up, chum, things could be worse. You could be a public health nurse.

der Brucer (Ah, the Lady or the Tiger!)

I will add fermented beaver tail and paws to my Give Up For Lent List.

My favorite Porgy and Bess recording features Mel Torme and Francis Faye.

A PLEA TO FANS OF CLASSIC DISNEY ANIMATION

The Disney Studio has completed a classic animated version of The Three Musketeers starring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy in the title roles.  Michael Eisner has decided that as good as it is, it would not attract audiences and be too much of a financial risk to release it to theatres since it is not computer animated.  He wants it to release it directly to DVD.  If you feel that a film of this (alleged) quality deserves a regular theatrical release first, please e-mail the Chairman of the Walt Disney Studios at the following address and tell him you would like to see this film released to theatres:

dick.cook@disney.com

Supposedly if enough people show their concern they will change their minds and give it a theatrical issue after all.

And speaking of computer animation, I know the process is totally different, but doesn't it remind you of "puppetoons"?  As much as I loved both TOY STORY movies, I think they would have been more effective with actors as the "live" characters interacting with the computer-generated toys.

DR Jennifer - do not deny your true Montréalaise spririt! That last line of yours should read:

"I also want to see The Producers and Hairspray and Urinetown (all in Toronto).  Maybe THEY should realize that Montreal is way more fun than Toronto and should come to US!" :)
