Just a friendly reminder for those DRs who may have an iPhones or an iTouch, the 3.0 software upgrade is supposed to be available for download sometime over the next two hours.  Just open iTunes, connect your iPhone/iTouch and check for the upgrade. "Cut, Copy & Paste"!!!

Are they still charging $10.00 for iTouch update?

But an Ensign is an officer; he ranks below a LT(jg) and above CWOs and Midshipmen.

I thought Nudie Musical was terrific last night! I especially liked the performances of Alet Taylor (Mary La Rue) and Lisaun Whittingham (Joy Full). Marlene Martinez and Niki Scalera were great too. In general, I thought the female cast members were better than the males. Ted Detwiler and Russ Hobbie were okay. Michael Irish was okay too, but nothing like Bruce Kimmel was in the role of John Smithee. Irish played it a little too over-the-top, while Bruce was a little more subtle, which made it more funny somehow. I think it's a big credit to Bruce that the funniest part of the show now is the part that deviates from the movie the most. That part is the Moses sequence with the "Burning Bush" song. What I mean is that his latest writing is the best and that sequence definitely got the biggest laughs. I'm not sure why, but the "Touch Me, I'm You" song didn't really work last night - maybe Russ just sang it too slow. But instead of it being funny because it doesn't make any sense, I think it left the audience scratching their heads trying to make sense of it, which they couldn't. I didn't really notice that all the risers and levels were a hindrance at all. There were times that a cast member had to squeeze through people and push them aside, but it went right along with the story as if it was supposed to be that way. The little fashion show during "Perversion" was very funny and a great addition. It was a little disturbing to hear the new melody of "Let Them Eat Cake" just because I know the old melody so well, but I'm sure if I heard this new one a few more times, I would like it just fine.

Good Afternoon!

Well... I took care of some sorting and purging, and made some phone calls too.  And downloaded the iPhone 3.0 update too. So far, so good.

Ah, you are correct, DR DERBRUCER - I was trying to recall the "ranks" I had to process when I worked at Coast Guard HQ.  I spent a summer in Enlisted Personnel Records, and two summers in Officer Personnel Records.  And then came the Merchant Marine project...

*But CPO - Chief Petty Officers - are Enlisted Personnel. Now I remember (it well - sort of).

Last night's "Nudie" reading may not have been perfect, as Bruce made clear in the notes, but here's the naked truth: It was still loads of fun. Joy Full, even. To see it transition from the big screen, to Bruce's living room, to a NoHo stage has been fascinating. The songs drive it, and they never sputter. They're always tuneful, always fun, always hummable, whether you've heard 'em a lot (like "Let 'Em Cake," "The Lights and the Smiles" from the movie) or just a few times (like "Burning Bush," one of the new songs). And, really, who can resist a dancing dildo — even if that dildo is wearing street clothes?

Probably the same person who decided to transpose "Another Hundred People" down a half-step to the Key of B for the Roundabout Revival (La Chanze).  -Which is what the rental materials reflect now.

*And don't get me started on people who bring in "Marry Me A Little" not in B. My fingers "love" playing that song in B!

DR Jose i see you noticed that you got your soaps mixed up. But i'm curious, do you know who mary jane benson really is?  To me it's been obvious for a while now!

DR Jennifer - Well, at first I thought it was "D".  Then realized - after looking up the name of the actress - that it was "P".  ;)

*It was also interesting to see that Melody Thomas Scott ("Nikki") may be leaving the show again due to contract disputes.

When you looked up the name of the actress it told you her surprise identity?  I never watched when "P" was on. But I've been sure it was her for a long time now. "D" did not make sense as she has a son, and Victor hates her, and she has been on many private jets (which mary jane said she had not been on). I find Mary Jane so creepy. Have you seen her scenes with her stuffed cat? Ick.

And as for "P" - That's a true "gift" for the long-time viewers of "Y&R".  I'm trying to remember just how many years has it been since her last appearance.

I personally love the Twilight books but much prefer TRUE BLOOD to the Twilight movie. IF you have not read the books you will probably enjoy the Twilight movie. But give True blood a chance. It is excellent.

A designer for BK and Pogue:

LA TIMES

Quote
...
Kristan Cunningham and Scott Jarrell have employed cool ideas and techniques in their Venice home, expressing their personal style without sinking too much money into a residence they don't own. Some of their affordable tricks, which apply not only to renters but anyone looking for an economical fix:

4. Group books by color.

It's a point some may contest, but Cunningham likes to remove and store paper dust jackets, then create separate clusters of green, blue, yellow and white on the living room wall unit. "I stacked all my red books on the fireplace mantel," she says. "They make a nice detail."

Back from the fancy French restaurant.  It turns out it was a live demonstration, but the participants [the "audience"] did not actually get to cook.  Which was fine.

And the meal afterwards was quite lovely!     :)
