I must tend to some writing now, and then I'll head downstairs to finish up the LOST - Season 1 set.

I liked the photo of Anne Hathaway, but a quick comb through her hair before the pic was snapped might have been nice.

However, a lot of ladies seem to like that touseled look. I don't like it.

I'm with you, MattH. I commented to my hairdresser once that so many people today look like they have dirty hair. She informed me that it had been freshly washed, but then a special gel was applied to give them that look. Personally, I don't care for the "just got up" look. And, yes, I've seen much prettier pics of Anne Hathaway.

Thursday afternoon greetings! I've been out at my Mom's all day. Shaker Cellar is open on Thursdays, it's kind of Otterbein Retirement Community's oldest, established, permanent, floating garage sale. I'm looking for some pieces to accompany our "new" living room couch, but didn't find anything today. What I did find, for a dollar, is a copy of the New Broadway Cast Recording of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, the one with Roger Bart, Kristin Chenoweth, and B. D. Wong.

Then, after lunch and a couple of errands, Mom and I had an appointment for her to talk to the marketing people about moving to an apartment in the Campus Center. There aren't any available right now in her price range, but she's on the list. She loves her patio home, but this winter found it very isolating. We could have a major downsizing sometime before too long.

New Yorkers: We are looking for advice on getting from Midtown to Schenectady (Scotia, actually) for an 11am Monday ordination of one of Richard's seminary classmates. My quick look at Amtrak indicated that the earliest train is 7:15, with a 10:30 arrival and that's cutting it too close. Any suggestions?

Jennifer · « **Reply #159 on:** June 11, 2009, 03:09:40 PM »

I thought the picture of anne hathaway was fine. It wasn't my favorite picture of her. But i think it was nice enough.

BK have you tried to talk to some of the higher-ups about your theatre problem? AT the very least the guy should be giving you back some of your money.

You paid to use the theatre. If he is blocking your use of the space then it is HIS responsibility to inform you! I don't get mad at people that often. But i would love to tell this guy off!

I slept extremely poorly last night and I have been dozing most of the afternoon. I suspect I'll be in bed by 9 tonight. Tomorrow, I've got an early meeting in Toyland, and I'm hoping I get a call to come and pick up a check for the Act Two MOST HAPPY FELLA work; I need to de[posit it to pay my estimated taxes on Monday.

I could use a lot of vibes!

Question for DR MattH (or anyone):

There was a Q&A brief about an actor named Gardner McKay in American Profile (a mag in our local newspaper) and a show he did in the late 50s, early 60s called Adventures in Paradise. It made me wonder:

What TV shows are still available in some type of format for viewing -- just newer shows and the popular shows of the past, or all shows? I mean, are all old shows available -- or are many old TV shows "lost" for good?

Like, if someone wanted to watch an old show, like McKay's, is it even available to the public these days?

Apparently I was the only one locked out of HHW this morning between 5:00 and 6:00 Pacific Time? Hmm, guess I can take a hint.

Thank you one and all for the hugs and vibes and sympathy about Jedi. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. That means the perfect kitty for Nicky and me is out there somewhere. Thanks again.

On the O'Reilly Factor, Bill and Dennis Miller were discussing the story about the gay penguins in the German Zoo, and the plan to import Lesbian penguins to try and "straighten" things out.

Yes, I believe adding a couple of lesbian penguins will straighten out the gay males.

Oh, yes. Proven therapy. Ask the religious right.

YEAH!

I just picked up tickets to Twelfth Night in Central Park tonight via the Public Theatre Virtual Line! Of course, rain and thunderstorms are forecasted for tonight, but, still..

Who is in this TWELFTH NIGHT? Is this with Anne Hathaway?

Yes, Anne Hathaway is playing Viola.

Here's a cut-and-paste from Playbill.com:

"In Shakespeare's cross-dressing tale of mistaken identity, Hathaway ("Rachel Getting Married") stars as Viola with Stark Sands (Journey's End) as her twin brother Sebastian, who both wash ashore on the mysterious land of Illyria following a shipwreck.

Twelfth Night also features four-time Tony winner Audra McDonald(110 in the Shade, Master Class, Ragtime) as Olivia, Tony-winning actress Julie White (The Little Dog Laughed) as Maria, three-time Tony nominee Raúl Esparza (Company, Speed-the-Plow) as Orsino, two-time Tony nominee David Pittu (What's That Smell?) as Feste, Michael Cumpsty (Sunday in the Park with George) as Malvolio, Hamish Linklater (The Busy World Is Hushed) as Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Jay O. Sanders (Midsummer Night's Dream) as Sir Toby Belch, Herb Foster (A Midsummer Night's Dream) as Valentine, Kevin Kelly (Much Ado About Nothing) as Sea Captain, Baylen Thomas (Cyrano de Bergerac) as Curio and Jon Patrick Walker (Young Frankenstein) as Fabian.

Completing the ensemble are Charles Borland, Andrew Crowe, Steve Curtis, Clifton Duncan, David Kenner, Leslie Harrison, Slate Holmgren, Christopher Layer, Robin LeMon, Dorien Makhloghi, Ray Rizzo, Julie Sharbutt and Zach Villa."

If the performance is rained out, maybe you can take Raúl Esparza out for a drink......... or home to see your etchings?

Hmm.. The picture of Anne Hathaway that accompanies the Playbill.com article is... well... is sort of "strange"... well... not that flattering... at least to my eyes...

You are gay!

I have every episode of "Adventures in Paradise", albeit from marginal source material. Ditto "Peyton Place" the TV series, which I never thought would be issued "commercially" from master source material. Oh, well.

I'd love pristine copies of "Adventures in Paradise", but I find it enjoyable on the DVD-Rs I bought, nevertheless.
