-And I really wish I could have seen Christine Andreas when she was on tour with The Light in the Piazza.

I've seen her a number of times.  First when she was a rather "just okay" Eliza in the 20th anniversary revival of MY FAIR LADY when it tried-out in Philly, a few years later I saw her as a very fetching Laurie in OKLAHOMA (again in Philly then on B'way--the only thing off was her being a brunette.)  Then she was absolutely wonderful in ON YOUR TOES.

I haven't even heard her in SCARLETTE PIMP but then I avoid anything having to do with Wildhorn.

Christine was the second brunette Laurie I can recall; the first was Leigh Beery in the 1969 Lincoln Center production with Bruce Yarnell as Curly, Margaret Hamilton as Aunt Eller, and Leroy Ream as Will Parker. It was quite wonderful.

CD: At work a Best of Mohammed Rafi CD was stuck in my computer, refusing to eject, so that was all I listened too. In my car I have been listning to a wonderful Nelson Riddle CD.

I am really surprised your co-workers haven't killed you.

The laundry is finished, the apartment tidied, the floors mopped, and I think I will work on a gospel chart for a bit rather than walk down to the NYPL; the humidity is rising and I'm really getting sick of this weather.

Here is an June 30th dvd release that may be of interest to some DRs.

DR Laura, yesterday’s photo of the butterfly was exquisite.

Speaking of trimming... I just finished mowing and trimming the backyard (which is weeds) and now I'm starting some laundry.  Then it's off to the kitchen to try the new blender I purchased yesterday.  I'm thinking a peanut butter, banana, blueberry smoothie (made with 1% milk and a little ice, maybe a pinch of Splenda)

[bk]

I, on the other hand, am back from the long jog.  Much better air quality today and a very pretty day overall.

[Jeanne]

Good morning, everyone.

TOD:
CD (car): a new Michael Buble, which I like very much.

[Jeanne]

MATTH, ELMORE, and other East Coasters suffering in the humidity have my sympathies. I don't miss that at all! I am very glad to be out of that.

COPING VIBES to all humidity sufferers!

My book group friends stayed until after 11 last night, so I missed ROYAL PAINS.  Wonder if it's repeated any time during the week.

Go to usanetwork.com and check their schedule!

Tomorrow morning at 10 am.

Ah, it looks like I might be able to watch it online, too.  Tomorrow at 10am, I have an appointment for a haircut.

And, no, I don't have the ON THE TOWN recording, but will look for it in NYC.

All the CD stores are gone in Manhattan!

I prefer to buy from "new and used" on amazon.com these days,

[Jeanne]

That's my report, folks.

Shall we do a clothing report? I'll start.
Blue jeans, striped polo, barefoot.

And book stores are going fast everywhere it seems. I, too, buy both new and used from amazon--I love books, but they're just too expensive!

TTFN.

Unfortunately, the entrance to the 405 South was closed for bush trimming. I don’t know about you but bush trimming at eleven-thirty on a Thursday is just stupid, stupid, stupid (that is three stupids). Why can’t they bush trim at six in the morning so they don’t have to cause people grief? Better yet, why don’t they leave the damn bushes untrimmed? Let the damn bushes alone, that’s what I say. I’ve had it with the bush trimming, frankly.

But if they trimmed bushes at six in the morning they might wake someone up

I have given up mowing the yard for the summer, well at least as long as it's hot.   My yard guy said he'd be happy to come back.  So, now I will be doing some trimming, maybe some planting and won't have to spend 1/2 day on my weekends to mow.

[FJL]

I was about to post before but then the phone rang.

My work project today is Disney's upcoming release of CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC with Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy. I like both the leads, so I'm hoping it's light and funny. That's the appearance it gives from reading the liner notes. It's the Blu-ray version, of course.

I really liked this movie despite the changes made from the books. I think Isla FIsher did wonderfully. She basically made the movie for me.

re: So you think you can dance


I know a lot of it is popularity. BUT I just feel bad that some people got so popular simply because of their exposure before the Top 20 started. I just don't find it fair.

I do agree that the guy who went home would not have made F4. But to me if you dance great both weeks, and then do a good solo then you should not be sent home.

[Ben]

I'm home sick today. I could feel Wednesday evening that I was coming down with something. I suffered through yesterday at the office because I had a meeting and other things that needed to be done but I woke up this morning and decided there was no way I was going into work. I called in sick and have spent most of the day in bed. I feel better and I have Saturday and Sunday to recover also. I will be back to work on Monday I"m sure.

I'm glad it didn't happen earlier in the week, what with the Gates and Luce presentation.

[Ben]

J and R is still around but it's way, way downtown and I mean way downtown, just a few blocks north of the Financial District.

Academy is still around also but you can't always depend on them since they are a used CD store. They may not have what you want right away so you have to make multiple trips hoping someone has turned in a CD they no longer want.

CD: At work a Best of Mohammed Rafi CD was stuck in my computer, refusing to eject, so that was all I listened too.

This reminds me of the time Richard Simmons was stuck in my vcr. You all were trying to coach me through getting the tape out. I think I broke the machine, anyway.

[Matthew]

TOD

Ongoing listening today

OCR - Baby
OCR - Big River

Seems to be a review of the shows I played in 1998

[DAW]

Richard Simmons was stuck in my vcr.

Did he at least Bedazzle it while he was in there?

[Matt H.]

Just as hot as they predicted it was going to be, and not a whiff of a breeze anywhere. It's SO miserable outside.

[Matt H.]

Sorry to read you've been under the weather, DR Ben. Hope you feel better soon.

[Jane]

thanks to DR MICHAEL S for the Nudie Report.

Yes, thank you.  It is nice you could be there.

[Matt H.]

I watched last night's ROYAL PAINS while I ate lunch. As usual, Evan got on my last nerve with his skirt-chasing (even though he got his comeuppance at the end of the episode). The story of the senator's son was very engrossing, and I like the doctor's "associate" very much and hope we get to know more about her.
