I agree with everything DR MattH said about GLEE.

I loved this week's episode. And I love Kristin Chenoweth

So did we.  Keith had no idea who she is.  When Kristin first began do speak he kind of exclaimed, "She can sing?"  We thought she was great. 

DR Ginny I laughed during the song near the end of the show & asked Keith if he thought that was the one you found too racy for high school students ;D  I'm so glad we don't have to worry about these things anymore.

I loved the duet with Kristin & Lea (Rachel).  Speaking of Lea Michele I did not realize she comes to GLEE from Broadway.

Well Kristin has been on broadway a number of times. She has been on other tv shows like THE WEST WING and PUSHING DAISIES.  I wonder if most people watching GLEE were already familiar with her. I"m sure a lot were.  Did you ever watch PUSHING DAISIES? She got to sing and be her quirky self on that show (she just won an emmy for it).



I know who she is, just Keith didn't.  We did watch the first episodes of DAISIES and that was it.

You must have seen her in the recent TV version of MUSIC MAN that most DR here seem to "hate"!

When she wants to, she can use her soprano voice to the best effects and not sound nasal at all! Used properly, her voice is faboo! BUT, "give" me Rebecca (Luker) anytime!
She tends to sound nasal when she sings "cute"!

I've seen her twice on New York stages, she was The Little Girl in RAGTIME.
Many years later, she was the female lead in SPRING AWAKENING.

I liked RAGTIME much better.

I wish I could have seen RAGTIME. I love the score!

Unfortunately, I have also heard anecdotal evidence of serious problems in receiving orders placed to the "new" Footlight Records.                     :(

I want to go to a National Park

"I Want To Go To Hollywood!"

(Hummm, I've been there twice already, many moons ago!)

Hollywood is one of the last places I want to go to.  National Parks are much nicer.  So is Paris :)

Oh I just wanted to quote a song from a musical! ;)

I want to go to lots of National Parks.

Oh me too, and I've been to quite a few.  I should have said "I want to go to a National Park right now!"

LOL-Me too.  If only they were more dog friendly.

I have had a complete MEDIUM-sized evening of viewing. Today I watched nine complete episodes of MEDIUM and got halfway through the 10th episode. I needed to get at least halfway through the set, so I did get that accomplished.

The show is so engaging; every week is a different set-up, a different puzzle for Allison and the audience to figure out. And it's satisfying that we get answers usually by the end of the show (unless it's a two part episode).

It's been a very underrated show for all of the years it's been on the air.

I think RAGTIME is one of the great Broadway musicals of the last 20 years. Its run should have been at least double to what it attained.

There has been one bonus feature thus far on the first three discs: a behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of the episode "Apocalypse...Now?" which was a super episode where Allison kept dreaming about a nuclear meltdown and a man and young girl living in a bomb shelter trying to survive.

I did not watch any of the shows on tonight; everything was recorded, and other than THE MENTALIST that I saw at lunchtime, I didn't get to any of the other recorded shows from this past week which are all still on my DVR.

After work I went to Target to cancel my credit card and check out what cd's/dvd's were on sale.   The Beatles new cd's were 11.98 (buy 2 get a 5.00 gift card), so I bought 5, less than 10.00 ea.  So I'm having a happy nostalgic Friday night music wise.

I did not realize the early cd's were only about 30 minutes.  Guess when I was young an album seemed longer.

Just listened to Taras Bulba, really wonderful.

Since I was up late last night, I'm making an early night of it and heading down to bed.

Good night!

FJL isn't the only lucky one around here.  I just got this:

Dear Friend, with a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you. I am presently in Iraq with the USA marine platoon; I found your contact particulars in an Address journal. I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of $1,700,000.00 (One million Seven hundred thousand dollars) to you, as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your care until I complete my service here. This is no stolen money, and there are no dangers involved. SOURCE OF MONEY: some money in various currencies was discovered concealed in barrels with piles of weapons and ammunitions at a location near one of Saddam's old palaces during a rescue operation, and it was agreed by all party present that the money be shared amongst us, this was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hell hole. The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a German contact working here, and his office enjoys some immunity, I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of troublespot. He does not know the real contents of the package, and believes that it belongs to an Asian American who died in an air raid, and before giving up, trusted me to hand over the package to his family.There is a secured way of getting the package out to a safer country for you to pick up, and i will discuss this with you when I am sure that you are willing to assist me. One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with a third party, should you have reasons to reject this offer. Please destroy this mail as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us. I do not know for how long we will remain here but hopefully before the year runs out, I have survived 2 suicide bomb tacks by the special grace of God, this and other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help. Please reply to my personal email: robinmorgan3@hotmail.com or your response will not be hournedRespectfully,Capt. Robin Morgan
