Topic: THE BELATED BIRTHDAY DINNER (Read 17927 times)

Oy. Yesterday afternoon, my mom, sister, niece and i went and decorated my aunt's real Xmas tree.

Anyhow it looked really nice. But my aunt just called to say that when she woke up this morning it had fallen over (even though it is tied to the wall with wire).

Luckily nothing broke cause it sort of fell into something. But she thinks she is going to have to get a new stand and take off all the decorations.

I don't really know anything about real trees. But i know that i would try anything and everything before taking off all the ornaments. I thought maybe if she had a bunch of people she could tie it tighter or something.

Good morning, all! I've done my DR Ben impersonation and had my oatmeal and I need to tidy up the apartment before finishing up the final proof of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA. I need to speak to Tommy Krasker this morning; there was a message from him waiting for me when I got home last night, and I need to sort out my daily meds for the week. I believe there is a pharmacy trip in my life tomorrow.

BK, this was posted on Broadwayworld.com last night. I wonder if this has anything to do with the "Christmas Mornings" sales:

I'm up after 5 hours of sleep. It doesn't really matter that I don't fly out until tomorrow evening...anxiety attacks pop up for no reason and won't subside until I cross another few items off my to-do list.

Sigh.

Oh,yes.....

Nice cookie photos from DR VIXMOM.

Of course it is a workday today. But the temperature will be near 40 degrees which is nice considering in was 19 degrees only two days ago.

Probably the sound recording, I enjoyed the BRAIN clip, but some of the diction was awfully muddy.

Morning all.

We have another day with a festive party. We will also go up to the new Michael's Craft Store on 100th Street and Columbus Avenue and we visit a friend where we will drop off a few CDs Anthony transferred all before the party (we bought 7 day Metro passes and we are taking advantage of them).

It's back to bag packing tomorrow, which is supposed to be beautiful weather wise (over 50 degrees).

We are waiting for the monthly visit from the exterminator.

Later, Gaters.

I have never seen a Living Nativity, drive thru or otherwise. However I was part of The Disco Nativity during the Holiday Survival Game Show at the Phoenix Theatre in 1996.

It was most entertaining. During the climactic moment of the music (of course there was music) - we dropped Cabbage Patch Baby Cheezits from the ceiling on a Fishing Line to glorious response.....except for the night after the show when the woman told us that we were all going to hell. We figured that - but not for The Disco Nativity.

Hello everyone-

I'm in New York, New York. Saw Finian's Rainbow again yesterday--I got a $44 ticket TKTS--it was in the rear mezzanine, but not a bad seat! I just love the show-I really can't wait for the CD to be released!

I saw Shrek the Musical later. It's really a lot of fun--Christopher Sieber (sp?) is reason enought to see it--he's hilarious!

Today, I have a ticket for The Royal Family at 2 pm. It's the last performance--it's supposed to be great-I'll let you know what I think!

And then, off to see WSMA, Brent Barrett! I'm looking forward to meeting DRelmore. I think I'll recognize you from your profile picture. I know my picture is small--just look for a follically-challenged guy with glasses!

Bruce, I'm sorry you couldn't make the show-I would have loved meeting you!

Kevin

I watched PUBLIC ENEMIES last night. Well.....the HD camera was not the perfect choice for this subject. AND as history it had so many mistakes that it was laughable.

Johnny Dillinger was able to do what he did because he had a larger than life personality! Johnny Depp was on some exploration of his inner self. Marion Cotillard had some trouble with her accent - particularly in scenes of distress - and she had a BIG PIMPLE in the middle of her forehead for the entire movie. Whew.....very distracting.

Best part of the movie for me - Billy Crudup's performance as J. Edgar Hoover.

Yes we must have a theatre report from DR KEVIN H.....and photos of the meeting with DR ELMORE.

I am off to work. Oh well.

Woke up this morning to a ringing phone. It was our neighbor calling to say that our road has been closed by the PA Department of Transportation due to the freezing rain which has basically shut down the surrounding area. Too much ice. It's not expected to get better any time soon. . .Miss Dixie Bell navigating her yard is an interesting site, she's quite cautious, but, she gets the job done.

Good morning!

It had rained during the night, but thankfully, the rain had paused long enough for me to get in my morning walk and not to have to resort to the treadmill. It was cold, but not nearlyu as cold as yesterday morning.

THE ROYAL FAMILY was a complete delight. I'm sorry to hear it's closing. Rosemary Harris is a national treasure in my book.

I do not have the Christmas Spirit this year. I am in great spirits and VERY excited about moving into the new office, so I'm not saying humbug or anything, but I really don't feel it this year. Maybe I'll catch it in the next couple weeks, but the funny thing is I just don't care.
