Damn! My access to my Commonwealth Bank of Australia account has been limited. Former DR Tomovoz had better have had nothing to do with this.

(It was Colin's birthday yesterday, BTW).

And happy birthday, Jeanne!

I'm up - this morning there was blessed silence and therefore I slept until nine-thirty, which was wonderful, although now there is no way to do the long jog - I may do it depending on what time I return from the meeting. Of course, I did go to sleep very late because I started a movie and I ended up not wanting to turn it off - Taken, with Liam Neeson.

Good morning, all! I have a conductor stopping by around 11 for a tutorial on turn-of-the-century musical theatre reconstruction and he will be out of here, hopefully, by noon.
I've got more Frank Loesser and Jerome Moross to tackle today.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday To Our DR Jeanne !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do believe our DR Nursie has been hither and yon for the last few days!

Well, spoo! How did I confuse DR Nursie and DR Jeanne?

I'm a moron!

I'll write about Taken in the notes, but while I didn't love the hyped up direction in the latter part of the film, I did think it moved right along (the film is only eighty-four minutes sans titles) and was a decent bottom of the bill programmer (if they had bottom of the bills anymore) and I'm a sucker for this type of story, even though the plotting is very cliched - and I enjoy Mr. Neeson, who is very good in the film. The biggest problem, for me, was a simple one - there's no strong villain - the person you think is the villain is, of course, A villain, but there is really no THE villain - there are multiple villains and that doesn't make for as satisfying a drama.

Perhaps the bank took umbrage at something.

That, or it's because you're a lesbian.

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!

I'm up, I'm up... And since I ended up listening to a Beethoven symphony and the Franck Violin Sonata last night, I didn't ended up falling asleep until around 4:30am...

...And then I found myself listening to some more music this morning for an hour or two before my feet hit the floor.

It turns out a friend of mine, Mike, from Richmond is coming up and into the City today. So, we'll be meeting up later on for some dinner and a good catch-up session.

Sunday afternoon greetings! We attended church in Cincinnati today, much to the surprise of the rector there (he asked Richard if he'd gotten fired already!). After a quick Panera lunch, we're home watching the last 100 laps of the Indianapolis 500.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of weekend doldrum-ing.

Matt H. · « **Reply #82 on:** May 24, 2009, 01:12:37 PM »

We had another small shower right around lunctime, but it didn't cool things off much. It's kind of muggy now and not likely to get any better as the evening commences.

Matt H. · « **Reply #83 on:** May 24, 2009, 01:15:49 PM »

I watched this week's edition of THE FASHION SHOW while I ate lunch. The team element of these competitions really stifles quite a few of these designers. I always hated team competitions on PROJECT RUNWAY, and this show revolves around them even though the designers still have to come up with individual garments.

With the teams, that seems to increase the bitch quotient. Of course, some people obviously WANT more of that kind of thing, but that kind of confrontation takes away from the show for me. I'm much more interested in the designs, the execution, and the final result. All that bitchy blather in between gets old VERY fast.

I also had time to watch the rest of SAVE ME that I had started last night. Always enjoy watching this story though I don't think Gant and Allen have great chemistry as a couple. (Now Allen and Sebastian Spence have GREAT chemistry in the Donald Strachey mysteries.)

The muggy's have started to settle in here in NYC too. -Which doesn't make me feel so bad for staying so far today - except for when I ran up to the market a couple of minutes ago to grab a bite to eat - and that's when I noticed the mugginess.

Then I watched my first work project of the day - SETH MACFARLANE'S CAVALCADE OF CARTOON COMEDY. Raunchy, decidedly un-PC, and inventive, there are 50 blackout sketches (some only seconds long), and about 10 of them made me laugh uproariously. There were only a few that were complete duds, and the rest were midly pleasant or I recognized the wit behind them without actually breaking into a smile.

Matt H. · « **Reply #87 on:** May 24, 2009, 01:22:08 PM »

I watched the very few bonus features: the premiere of the program with a select audience of cast, crew, and friends, and three phases of the character models in step-through stills galleries.

A salute to the audience participation at HAIR, even though I really should be doing tax work today

(to the tune of The Age of Aquarius)

(SOLO)
When your seat is in the seventh row
'Cause you prefer not to sit far
Then peace is no-ot yo-ours, dammit
No you become the star

(AUDIENCE)
This is a warning, stay on stage, we’re the audience
Hey we’re the audience
The audience!
The audience!

Isn't there an understanding
While that 60's music's pounding
I don't care if you're Will Swensen
If a lap dance is commencin'
Mister, keep your perspiration
I don't need participation
The audience!
The audience!

(AUDIENCE MEMBER)
When your moon is brushing past my blouse
And you pour sweat on my Dior
Your feet are walking on the armrests
And mi-ine are out the door

This is a warning, stay on stage, we’re the audience
Hey we’re the audience
The audience!
The audience!

When I finished that, I put in my next work project called ACTION PACKED, four initial episode dramas from the huge Paramount TV library. I started with the most recent, the first network episode of NCIS with Sasha Alexander joining the team from her original post as a secret service agent on Air Force One. Interesting mystery with Gibbs, Tony, and Abby nowhere near the characterizations they now have on the series. McGee hadn't yet joined, and Ziva doesn't come aboard until Season 3. Only David McCallum's Ducky seems fully formed in this first episode.
