Did anyone else ever play AUTHORS when they were kids? It was my favorite game, and probably had a lot to do with my love of reading.

Oh, sure, the Milton Bradley version of Go Fish but infinitely more fun if you loved books and writers. I still have a couple of packs of those cards in my game box.

Kathy Griffin is terrorizing Paula Dean tonight. I've never seen her cooking shows, but she's funny and charming on the D-List.

I recorded it, but I likely won't get to it until later in the week (it was Friday before I got to it last week.)

Since bk mentioned THUNDERBALL on Blu-ray a few days ago, I remembered that I had never watched any of the making-of documentaries on THUNDERBALL, so I put in the Blu-ray and watched two of them. I had no idea that the original song over the credits was going to be Shirley Bassey (and then Dionne Warwick( singing "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang."

I am SO glad they got the REAL title song and chose Tom Jones to sing it.

When I watched THE THUNDERBALL PHENOMENON, I was reminded about 007 cologne and lunch boxes and games. Oh, such memories!

Next I watched CAT AMONG THE PIGEONS from last night's POIROT Mystery. Wonderful show, and it was only 90 minutes, so hooray for them for doing it in such an adroit way!

Since I'll be working on Season 2 of BURN NOTICE tomorrow, I thought it best to put in season 1's final episode and watch it so I could pick right up with the story tomorrow. So glad I did that and now will be ready to start season two with no confusion at all tomorrow.

I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS, but the boys weren't on. They are on tomorrow along with Colonel Mayer. That should be fun.

And I concluded my evening with tonight's THE CLOSER. Really suspenseful episode, and the scenes between Kyra and Mary McDonnell were crackling with hostile vibes. We have not seen the last of her, I fear. We did have to bid goodbye tonight to one of the series' most beloved characters. It was handled very movingly. This may end up being Kyra's Emmy submission episode for NEXT season's awards. Only season 4 episodes can be submitted for nominations and awards to be announced next month.

Well, it's time for me to head downstairs and go to bed.

Good night!

I wonder if he took photos so we can all see what he saw...

Just watching motion pictures. Finished Chamber of Secrets and am now watching Leon. After that, I shall pee (eep, spelled backwards).

Well... I just compiled and double-checked my schedule for tomorrow, and it looks like I'll be running around quite a bit tomorrow, so...

Goodnight.

Hmmmmmmmm.......dialog is very low on my BLU RAY and effects and music drown it out.....can't get the balance right.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #227 on:** June 22, 2009, 10:47:55 PM »

Rehearsal went well....although MANY people had to borrow MY pencils. I lost a cast member as well...but someone will step in just fine.

Was just told that e-mails were flying back and forth between various Nudie Musical cast members - someone had read what I'd written, my venting in the notes. If those e-mails involved the three or four ensemble members who were problematic, good. I have no problem with them knowing exactly how I felt about their work ethic. But two people got upset because they weren't in my list of people I'd take to NY - which is, of course, very silly, since I was writing very late at night and didn't mention everyone. Of course, it seems people would rather e-mail back and forth rather than actually call or send an e-mail to the person who could actually tell them what's what.

So tonight (Monday) we had our first rehearsal with costumes and props and make-up (if one had it...I didn't). We started the first act at 8:45 (ugh) and ended about 10:45. We started our second act at about 11:07 and ended the show at 12:22. We actually shaved about 15 minutes from last night's rehearsal. That's good news! Now tomorrow (Tuesday) night is our last performance in an empty theater. Wednesday, we can invite friends to see the show for free! Thursday is our official opening night!

George · « **Reply #232 on:** June 23, 2009, 02:31:36 AM »

But it's still a FREAKIN' LONG SHOW!! I thought that Chris (our director) had made substantial cuts to the original script. Someone in the crew said that he only cut a few lines here and there and that it's almost the whole original show!

No wonder it's SO FREAKIN' LONG!!

George · « **Reply #233 on:** June 23, 2009, 02:33:16 AM »

But I said this before, I really think that it's a well-acted show. There is a lot of emotion on the stage and for the most part, it's very effective and appropriate.

And NOW, I'm off to bed.

I wondered how long it might be before something like this might happen.

I enjoy it when the previous day's chat isn't closed!
