I'm thinking we should do a Los Angeles get-together when Miss Juliana A. Hansen is in town to do Millie at the Ahmanson.  

MBarnum, we have started Bollywood threads so go post

Yes, Mr. Tech.  Mr. Know-Nothing about Computers had to talk the Adelphia man through configuring the AOL sign-on screen for the new TCP/IP connection.  I was rather amazed that I did it, but did it I dood.

The producers of AMERICAN IDOL stacked their show very strangely tonight. There are ten people left, and they put the five weakest performances (unquestionably) in the top half of the program, and the five best performances in the bottom half of the show.

There was no one in the top half (Camile, Jon Peter, Latoya, Amy, and John) who did any better than mediocrely. Jon Peter had another of those performances where there were some striking solidly held notes surrounded by some not great singing. Camile was her usual awful and Latoya was by far the worst she's been in the competition. John was the worst, doing the flattest and least involved "My Girl" I've ever heard. Truly sounded like a high school student for the first time, and it was painful. Either he or Camile just has to be voted out tomorrow night.

The bottom half was superlative going from strength to strength with Jennifer Hudson batting it out of the park with "Heat Wave" and Diana, Fantasia, and especially George (whose smoky, gravelly voice is PERFECTION for Motown) doing great renditions of their numbers.

George's number was consistently busy during the two hour voting. Jennifer's was not so she may be in trouble again. I also dialed Jon Peter's number and I easily got through so he, too, may be in the bottom three this week.

::Grumbles, grumbles, and grumbles some more::

I was in the process of typing up my outline so that it would be legible for my teacher, when I glanced at the project outline and discovered some recquirments that I failed to notice before.  Though we can write basically anything we damn well please, at the end of the semester, one student's play will be chosen to receive a semi-professional production at Theatre For A New Audience.  Seeing as I'm the only person in this class who has ever written a play or who is even interested in writing plays, I figure I shouldn't get myself disqualified from a race that I have a chance of winning.  Alas, in order to have your play considered, it has to be roughly ten minutes long and involve four or less characters.   No matter how I twist and contort my original idea, it will never be that short, nor will it ever involve so few characters.  I'll talk to the teacher tomorrow about bending the rules slightly, but it looks like I'll be heading back to the drawing board.  ::)

I can always write this play on my own time.  Perhaps I'll enter it into Sondheim's Young Playwright's Competition.  He's bound to like a play about his fans...maybe.  :-\

There is something disconcerting about the phrase "Charles Pogue's Buns"...
Disconcerting?  Nah.  I can't think of any reason to dis your buns, in concert or singly.

Wow! Now we are totally on my turf! After salivating at the images and even the names of candies for seven pages, it's my turn! I'm not going to list every candy I love (because there are so many), but I'll identify my favorites.

Almond Joys, Hershey's with almonds, Butterfingers, Swoops (especially Reese's), Reese's peanut butter cups, bubblegum cigarettes, Fun Dip, caramel apple lollipops, blow pops, tootsie roll pops, Whoppers, and much more!

I cannot stand marshmallow peeps, bit o'honeys, and circus peanuts to name a few!

I showed my mom the website with the old candies, and she said, "Laura, you don't need any of that." I said, "Mom, name a candy you liked when you were young. Watch. It will be here." She replied, "Mallo Cups." As soon as I hit the link, her face lit up. I love my mommy! :)


Congratulations, Mymy!!!  :D

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that those orange circus peanuts Lulu brought up earlier are some of the nastiest things to be found in the candy aisle.  Not a fan of the Peeps either, Laura II.

Check out this site! I found the candy lipsticks someone mentioned under the "nostalgic - fun candy" section on the left side of the page.

I'm in a bit of a pickle.  I've been wanting to write a play about an incident that occured this summer between two Sondheim.com members for some time now, and though the concept is there (and I have written a splendid outline), it's been very hard for me to actually write it.  My school just introduced a new playwriting course to be taught by a guest artist from Theatre For A New Audience, and for tonight's homework, we have to decide what we want to spend the year writing about and begin writing character outlines.  Though I'd very much like to work on my Sondheim.com play with the help of this teacher, I can't help but feel guilty for writing about them, especially when there is a chance of what I write being performed.  Should I just go ahead and write it without worrying?  Should I ask their permission (Which they would grant, but then they would want to read the finished product...)?  Should I temporarily abandon the idea?  If so, what should I write about?!  
The essence of the play is the arguement, not what the arguement is "about."  Go ahead and write it, but with a different "topic," which should get your creative juices flowing.  The more trivial the "topic," the better.

Unless...

Consider this: two simultaneous phone conversations, with the two leads (the argue-ers) telling someone else about the arguement from their points of view.  This cuts the number of players down considerably.

Der Brucer missed American Yodel tonight.  We dropped by the Purple Parrot after a bunch of shopping, and found ourselves in a very funny conversation with a couple of lesbians, also somewhat newbies to Rehoboth (they've been here three months longer than we have).  We also dragged Hugh, the owner, into the verbality at times (he was tonight's waitstaff), and he can pretty well hold his own with der Brucer, as did the two women.

I didn't miss Simon at all.

Good Evening!

-Good opening tonight!  And the buzz at the reception was very good too.  We'll see what the papers say in the next few days.

*And the reception was held at the Old Ebbitt Grill.  Very nice set-up, and very good food.

Well.. It's time for sleep... I'm thinking I may head up to NYC in the morning.. Just because I can ;-)

Goodnight
