Welcome to Page 4!

And a congratulatory dance to BK for a ten-week marathon (only he didn't know it was a marathon). I have finally found time to read (going back and forth on the LI railroad helped) and I am almost done w/Kritzertime. I would finish it tonight but I'm seeing Caroline, or Change (second performance, it began previews last night) so it will take another day or two before I complete my journey.

Hoo and ray on today's major milestone!

Has a title been selected yet?

MBarnum · « **Reply #95 on:** April 13, 2004, 02:25:32 PM »

Wow, another book almost finished! That is great BK! And we don't even have a clue (clew in HHW speak) as to what it is all about!

Well, as I plan on finishing up Kritzer Time very soon I shall be ready for another Kimmel book!

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #96 on:** April 13, 2004, 02:26:07 PM »

BK, I guess I was just too pea-green with envy. I admire and am jealous of your work discipline and speed. Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! Now...when do I get to read it?

bk · « **Reply #97 on:** April 13, 2004, 02:28:07 PM »

I have to do these little additions, then I will be ready for our very own Pogue to read it. My Kritzer muse, Margaret, just isn't into this sort of book. I'm still hoping she'll check it out, but she really hates mysteries.

I do have a title, but I'm not quite ready to reveal it yet.

Jennifer · « **Reply #98 on:** April 13, 2004, 02:29:37 PM »

What's with the spelling of "clew". Am I the only one who doesn't get it?

Joy · « **Reply #99 on:** April 13, 2004, 02:32:36 PM »

Good for you, BK!

JOSE, if you're around, here's a question for you: So how many times have you heard Defying Gravity at auditions? I'm gonna guess 73.

Swishy, you went to SU's summer program? We gotta chat.

I've been trying to do a little catching up...oh, what I've missed.

Well, I'm off to Ballet class...send good vibes to my muscles, which have been unused (in Ballet movements) for a couple weeks. This is gonna be ruff.

Clew: How Dame Agatha spelled "clue" in the English editions of her early books.

TCB · « **Reply #101 on:** April 13, 2004, 02:36:55 PM »

By the way, BK, what night are you and Mr Barrett going to be dining together? I was thinking that I might just hitchhike south in time to drop-in time for dessert.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #102 on:** April 13, 2004, 02:42:11 PM »

So - it's a mystery, is it?

I was amiss in not offering congratulations to Mr BK on finishing the book that some DR's will especially find interesting, we have been told.

bk · « **Reply #103 on:** April 13, 2004, 03:04:15 PM »

Mr. Barrett and I are supping this very evening at the Hamburger Hamlet on Sunset.

Jenny · « **Reply #104 on:** April 13, 2004, 03:28:40 PM »

Ben, I hope that you enjoy "Caroline, or Change"! I saw it last night (and I sat next to a gentleman who reminded me of DR der Brucer in many ways), and it's truly the most exciting new musical I've seen in a long time. Please post your thoughts after you see it!

Congratulations, on being so near to finishing the book, BK! Do we know anything about this book? Will you be telling us anything about it? How very exciting to have a new Kimmel book so shortly after the last new Kimmel book was released!

Speaking of which, I really must pick up the other Kritzer books.

Many times during "Caroline, or Change" last night, it occured to me that the Noah character is reminiscent of Benjamin Kritzer. Kritzer ought to be made into a musical! Get to work!

Does anybody still wear a hat? Oh, I do!

Congratulations, dear bk, for finishing the draft of the book!

MBarnum · « **Reply #107 on:** April 13, 2004, 03:43:30 PM »

Uh mystery book! Well, I know that will be a good one! It isn't about the host of a a hugely popular website forum whose posters get mysteriously bumped off one by one is it? LOL!

Well, whatever the plotline I will be looking forward to it!

Jennifer · « **Reply #108 on:** April 13, 2004, 03:43:49 PM »

Hey thanks for the clew information.

Nancy Drew should have known clew.

Btw, congrats BK on almost finishing another book. And have fun with Mr. Brent Barrett.

And yes DR TCB, I think Brent Barrett would make a lovely dessert.

Jane · « **Reply #109 on:** April 13, 2004, 03:44:45 PM »

Jennifer I thought the holidays were from sunset to sunset. I have never kept strict food traditions.

Joy, hi and GOOD VIBES!

Stuart thank you for satisfying my curiosity was well.

Dan (the Man)-LOL. I hope you improved the play.

Congratulations Bruce!!!!

Jenny will you be changing schools?

Jenny will you be changing schools?

Wow...thank you for asking! I'm not entirely certain. Though I very much want to transfer, I'm uncomfortable doing so without a very good reason, and the very good reason doesn't currently exist. I'm still leaning towards it, but I'm sort of scared.

Then again, I went to South for four years (jr. and sr. high school in one), which is the amount of time most kids spend in high school. I would spend two years at Central before graduating. It would be sort of like going to community college! Six years at one school is far too long.

We shall see.

My current mystery is WHY CAN’T I STOP EATING? This has been going on for weeks now. I just pigged out on potato chips am feeling rather sick now. Yesterday it was olives. I can’t eat just one olive but must have an entire can at one sitting. Off to see what else I can eat, but first I must change out of my tight jeans into something I can actually button up.

I hope you are all nicer about my rant than my book group was this morning. They yelled and made fun of me when I complained my jeans are too tight. I got no sympathy.

Jenny · « **Reply #112 on:** April 13, 2004, 04:03:02 PM »

Jane, I certainly know the feeling! I find myself pigging out all the time...I really have to do something about that.

Jane · « **Reply #113 on:** April 13, 2004, 04:03:16 PM »

Jenny good luck and vibes making a decision.

bk · « **Reply #114 on:** April 13, 2004, 04:15:26 PM »

Thanks to all for your nice thoughts. I'm totally at a loss as to how it happened so fast. I didn't think it would take six months, I thought it would go faster than that, but who knew ten weeks. I have absolutely no memory of writing that much, but I must have written thirty pages a week (ten more than I ever did on any of the Kritzer books). Maybe it's because this was so linear and I never had to stop and think what to do next - it just sort of went from thing to thing logically. Plus, it's a whole other style of writing. No matter what, it's been really interesting doing it.

I haven't really told anyone anything about this book - maybe just a couple of people know the setting and a bit about the plot.

Jane · « **Reply #115 on:** April 13, 2004, 04:38:26 PM »

Most of my favorite mysteries have been mentioned;

ELLERY QUEEN, the TV series with another favorite of mine, Jim Hutton

THE THIN MAN
SLEUTH
THE UNINVITED
REBECCA
AND THEN THERE WERE NONE
MAD MISS MANTON
DEATHTRAP
STRANGERS ON A TRAIN

I really think of WAIT UNTIL DARK as a thriller, not a mystery.

I enjoy Sherlock Holmes but don’t recall a favorite, but then I don’t believe I have seen the 1983 HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES. I shall have to rectify that.

I enjoy Tony Hillerman’s books.

That’s all I can remember for now.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #116 on:** April 13, 2004, 04:58:57 PM »

Well....I had never seen KISMET so I watched it today on TCM....in widescreen.

What a beautiful movie. Of course the hats were so tall most of the men had to duck coming through doors, but lovely nonetheless. Vic Damone is very handsome, Howard Keel had a gained a bit of weight, and Dolores Gray always seems stuck in the 1950's to me, even though she is supposed to be in an earlier time....and Ann Blyth, well her voice is more shrill than lovely....but...

I liked it a lot....so nice to look at. So nice to hear, but some of those lyrics - after a some of the couplets I felt like saying....Burma Shave!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #117 on:** April 13, 2004, 05:19:41 PM »

Someone was looking for FROM HELL IT CAME in chat last night. Check EBAY there are a couple of DVD versions available!

Jennifer · « **Reply #118 on:** April 13, 2004, 05:24:31 PM »

DRs Jane and Jenny: You both look so skinny. Leave the tight jean comments for those of us above a size 4.

Jane · « **Reply #119 on:** April 13, 2004, 05:39:10 PM »

Jennifer, too tight jeans, whatever size, isn’t comfortable when you overeat.

Funny though, today my friends also thought I’m a size four. I was after I had children (thanks to my vegetarian diet I was one of those rare people who lost weight after having babies), but it’s not so anymore. I told Keith how my friends didn’t have any sympathy for me and he laughed and said “good for them”. He’s so cute.

It really is just the non-stop junk eating that has got to stop.

Not getting my walk today made me eat more.
