Good morning, all! The alarm went off at 6:30 and I slept in. I finally dragged myself out of bed around 8:30 and I've been tending to small chores around the place. Today at 1:00 I have physical therapy, but most of the day I've got to deal with two holiday jobs and a few hours on the BABES IN TOYLAND Main Report. I need a trip to Toyland to check a newspaper citation but I can do that tomorrow morning and finish up the report on Sunday. I'm about 2/3 through the final draft, and so far I have one footnote to add and a couple of sentences that I find embarrassing need revision. It is very tedious work, I must say, jumping back and forth between the two sets of copy I'm working from.

   DVD:  the Netflix discs still sit here; I know one of them is the foreign version of LILLIOM
   CD: Jacques Brel, Jacques Offenbach, Guy Haines, Liz Callaway, Follies

I'm going to head down now and get cleaned up for my errands later. Then, I'll settle in for some leisure TV viewing.

Most everything is alphabetized, but they're in different spots around the house.  In one closet, I have a rack that contains animated features, westerns and war movies,  another closet has racks that contain movies by director.  There is also a closet that has musicals, science-fiction, TV movies and major Oscar winners.  Finally, there is a huge cabinet (with a moose on it) that contains movie box sets & TV seasons, and in my media room I have a wall of shelves that, in alphabetical order, contain the movies that don't fit in any of those other categories.

Currently, I'm trying to convince my wife to move her clothes out into the garage, so that I can put more DVDs into her closet.

 ::)

Truthfully, before I moved from Los Angeles to Austin, I got rid of about 1500 titles (many sold to BK), then here in Austin I sold about another 500.

Synchronicity time--for some reason I was just thinking of CRACKED Magazine last night.  What was their mascot's name?  I'll have to go Google that.  ;)  There was another very short-lived Mad-like magazine I remember quite well, especially since they had a fake ad contest I applied for but didn't win that was a parody of those old Colombian Coffee Juan Valdez commercials.  But I can't remember the name of the magazine.  Oh, well.

And I guess one could call the occasional snark a wisecrack.

I went to a chiropractor a few years back...we had quite a few sessions where years and years of gravity were atoned for...I was realigned from head to toe. 

I still feel the better for all of it.

As for cracking...

I used to crack my knuckles all the time.  Nowadays, I only crack my knuckles when I think that it has been a while since I've cracked my knuckles.

I really wish I could crack my back on my own. When I was working on South Pacific at Arena Stage, it seemed that everyone in the cast knew how to crack backs.  Some people did it standing up, others did lying down. Hmmm... Anyhoo.... So, one day, I asked one of the guys to crack my back... WOW!  Like bk, the sound was quite incredible, and I remember a bunch of heads turning in the back hallway when they heard the "pop-pop-pop-pop-pop" of my vertebrae.  Needless to say, over the course of the next couple of weeks, I would ask Brad to crack my back again. And again.  Sometimes, I would just stand in front of him, cross my arms across my chest, and wait... :)

I also learned a way to self-crack my back, but that's not as much fun. ::)

Just two more work days after this one and I'm free, I'm free, thank God almighty, I'm free.


Until January 4th, of course

I wonder why his English name wasn't a direct translation of his given, Italian, name: Luke Star?

I've finished the orchestration part of the work, so I'll copy the parts this weekend. I may be able to deiiver the parts top the Ethical Culture Fieldston School on Monday before I head over to the recoring sessions for FINIAN'S RAINBOW. If not, I'll drop them off on Tuesday.  Then I have to finish up the work for Brent's Birdland show by Thursday afternoon's rehearsal at 2.

In about 30 minutes I will walk to physical therapy.
