So since we're on for Thursday at 5, how many are we now? And any dietary restrictions?

We're looking forward to it, DR FJL. No dietary restrictions for either of us, but we try to avoid a lot of onions, if possible.

I began with the movie HANCOCK which was recorded off Starz-HD. It was OK. A surprise or two. Not a great movie.

I am so sick of the Michael Jackson situation.

I am living for the moment when I can turn on the tv and pass a newstand without seeing that synthetic face and hair.

Did you see this?

Then I watched MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST from Monday night. Kathy spent much of the hour with (ugh) Paris Hilton, so all of the activities were completely brainless and a waste of her (and my time). Her (Kathy's) mother's exploration of Facebook was kind of fun.

I KNEW the Michael Jackson situation would be this way. There has been a front page story in the local newspaper on him every day since the death.

Michael Jackson tribute in butter at Iowa Fair
11:40 AM
StoryPost A Comment7 comment(s)Posted: Tuesday, June 30, 2009
DES MOINES -- The world-famous Iowa State Fair butter cow will share the spotlight this year with a salute to the late Michael Jackson. Both pieces will be on display in the Agriculture Building's 40-degree cooler throughout the fair, Aug. 13-23.

Butter sculptor Sarah Pratt of West Des Moines plans to honor Jackson's extensive contributions to the music and dance industries through a butter sculpture of the pop icon. This year's butter bovine will be a jersey cow.

Michael Jackson danced on to the Iowa State Fair Grandstand stage Aug. 29, 1971, as a member of the Jackson Five. Alongside his brothers, Jackson turned out two exceptional performances to the delight of 17,000 fair-going fans.

Today, nearly four decades later, he is remembered as a pop-culture icon whose music reflected the passion and creativity of a new era. As the world mourns the loss of such a skilled and exceptional entertainer, the Iowa State Fair would like to celebrate the King of Pop and commemorate the ways his contributions have transformed American music and dance.

I left tonight's RESCUE ME on the DVR to watch while I ate lunch tomorrow. So, I took BONES - Season Two off the shelf and watched the episode with the body found in a bathtub full of lye. This was the episode that put Seely and Cam back together for a run of episodes.

We had a great time seeing Angela Lansbury in Blithe Spirit tonight. I liked the other cast members, too, and the set and mood music. Afterward, we went to Junior's and the hostess took us way back in the restaurant to what I thought was going to be a really crummy table. However, it was by the windows facing Shubert Alley, directly across from the Blithe Spirit stage door. There was a good sized crowd, but eventually a guy came out, talked to the crowd (we couldn't hear) and handed out what appeared to be autographed items. They all left and we were hoping that, then, Angela would come out, but even though we ordered a dessert to split (lemon coconut layer cake - yum!), she never did.

I also did get back on-line at my worksite and get the review posted that I worked on today. A few bumpy moments, but overall not too bad for a first posting.

It took me a while to catch up, and now i must go to sleep.

So it looks like it'll be six people at five o'clock on Thursday.

One fascinating thing that has been mentioned in passing in some new reports is that Michael Jackson's fame came about long before the internet was in full swing, before MySpace, before Facebok, before Twitter. Even before iTunes! -And that no one has or could ever be that famous again. I actually think that's true. He really did break and reach across many boundaries.

Since we have 2 shows right here in our neighborhood tomorrow, we're just going to have a "day of rest" and not go running around the city. Richard has a sermon to finish for Sunday and I'd like to read and prop my tired feet up.

'night!

Well, I'm leaving work. When I get home, I will see if they actually put in my new skylight. I know that they still have some of the roofing to finish, but I want my operable skylight!

Until later!

Well...I don't have a new skylight, yet. Darn. About half the roof still needs to be reshingled, so there's still time.

I didn't realize it (and no one in the cast or crew mentioned it...that I know of), but there was a write-up for "Romeo & Juliet" in the local paper last week! Click HERE to read it.

Well... I'm sleepy - which is a good thing - so...

Pictures of kittens and pictures of kitchens.

HHW is the place to be!

Both lovely.

DR GINNY so happy that you saw BLITHE SPIRIT.....I meant to ask you to pick up a Playbill off the floor for your needy friends....but I got back too late!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #263 on:** June 30, 2009, 10:28:58 PM »

When I arrived at rehearsal, I let myself in. I had given Tyson the AD/SM a set of keys to the rehearsal space to give to the set designer when they met earlier today.

I turned on the lights and what do you think? They had put up the platforms just as they will be ONSTAGE. So we had a great rehearsal with all of our levels! Once MARK OF CAIN is over, we can just move the platforms onto the stage.

The cast was most impressed and seemed to have a good time. The Barber Song and Golden Helmet of Mambrino turned out very nicely....so all in all a well spent rehearsal evening.

People were booted off HHW? Well, at least it was momentary, but it always makes me nervous to hear that.

I watched two motion pictures and then took a drive. I'm back, and just relaxing for another thirty minutes, at which time I'll write Ye Olde Notes.

Right now, I'm watching the first episode of this season's "America's Got Talent." Some in America don't have talent.

But we all already knew that, didn't we??
