Now I'm going to head down to go to bed. I'm really enjoying THE MUSIC MAN story, and I got a big laugh over Ernie Martin trying to talk Meredith into postponing work on THE MUSIC MAN so he could compose music and lyrics for their sure-fire hit (which turned out to be the infamous flop WHOOP-UP).

SingingNymph is here! Happiness & cheer! Oh that we could always see this DR through the year!
I have missed you all. But good things abound. I finished my medical coding courses & am sitting for the big test that will give me cool initials after my name in 3 days! Yikes! Need happy test vibes!
I had a great time at The Do, thank you, Mr. Bruce! And DR Penny, it was fabulous meeting you! The unboyfriend had a swell time too.
All the food was yummy & all the company was grand.
And I had the dubious honor of explaining to Mr. Bruce & the rest of the room just what furries are.

Yes, the Furries - interesting... it was so nice to finally meet you, too. And the unboyfriend. I have one or two of those...

I sure don't miss Winter - I don't mind a little snow flurry... a few ice crystals on the evergreens... but to be stuck in in day after day... oy.

Last night, the unboyfriend & I got Rally's for dinner & went to the cinema to see Sherlock Holmes, only to find it sold out. So we drove to the local Famima, got some Krispy Kreme donuts & headed back to his place & popped in the Director's cut of Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, which he had given me as a Solstice gift. It was most silly. I'm disappointed about Sherlock Holmes, but as far as dates are concerned, I have much more fun snuggling at home watching a movie than in separate theater seating, staring straight ahead.

I am happy to say that as my medical coding education comes to an end, so too will my extended stay with my darling aunt & uncle. Well, I probably won't be moving out til February-ish, but that will be here before we know it! I've applied for the Section 8 waiting list for LA County. Figured I might as well do it while my paycheck is teensy & then let them ween me off of the assistance as I make more money from coding.

830 posts! And with that, it is supper time.

Finished a motion picture, and thankfully remembered I have to put Kritzerland labels on hundreds of boxes before noon tomorrow.

DR DER BRUCER - I also believe there was a report that the "suspected" terrorist first went to the bathroom in order to "prepare" shortly after the plane took off. However, I'm pretty sure that getting out of one's seat in order to extinguish a fire - no matter the source or cause - would still be permitted.

*I'm just wondering if the TSA is going to start having special procedures for incoming International flights and flights in and out of DCA like they did right after the planes started flying after 9/11.

**I just hope that whoever cleared this "suspected" terrorist to fly is reprimanded, well.. Fired!

I was very surprised at the security when I was in Europe. I, of course, set off all the alarms with my artificial body parts. Usually in the U.S. they use the metal detector and a short pat down on me. But on both flights leaving London and the one flight leaving Barcelona; these guys went farther than I have had guys go on our first or second date.

It is in a planned community which has a bunch of bylaws. I just went online to see if we're allowed to fence the yard for the dogs (we could get an invisible fence if not, but I didn't find anything about fences). However, my favorite bylaw was "Resolution Concerning Resolutions."

As Groucho said, be leary of any group that would allow you to be a member.

Next I was going to watch THE SHOW OF SHOWS, that 1930 Warners revue, but I had read on my worksite that some of the discs were shortchanged and the company burned only 64 minute versions of the movie instead of the full-length original. Naturally, I got one of the defective ones, so I've contacted Warners about a replacement.

Any other Warner titles affected?

TCB, are you talking to yourself?

TCB · « **Reply #259 on:** December 26, 2009, 09:55:07 PM »

I went up to Seattle today to see WHITE CHRISTMAS (the stage musical) at the 5th Avenue Theater. I really enjoyed the production. The sets were lovely, the choreography was clever, the cast was enjoyable, and well, the music is Berlin.

I didn't care for one of the leads and I was hoping Jose would be here so I could ask if he knew him.

Well, Matt Ashford's wife Christina played the role of Betty (the Rosemary Clooney role). I thought she was wonderful.

The male lead was played by an actor named Michael Gruber. He was in the revival, as well as the original production of A CHORUS LINE.

Well, the original production, not the original cast. He appeared in the show in 1989.

Michael Gruber was hotter than hot in a show called SWING in the 1990's.

I can't quite put my finger on the problem. He sang well and he danced well, but there was just nothing there for me, emotion-wise. A very good, but very controlled performance.
