We are supposed to get your rain tomorrow, BK. Looks like you are saving it for us.

The snow continues. I didn't have my MUMMY marathon last night, perhaps tonight.

Jennifer I don’t think of cheese cake as hard. As I mentioned mine is so soft it has to set for 3 days before it can be served.

I don't think i explained it right. IT wasn't hard. It was like how you get a regular NY cheesecake. Firm.

My mom used to make cheesecake pies. Where i don't think you bake the cream cheese part. And it is basically whipped. I love that texture!

We just had some of the hardest rain I've EVER heard in all my years - and HAIL.

Laura · « **Reply #96 on:** February 09, 2010, 11:44:16 AM »

So I guess you are not saving it for us.

Richard and I have been out ~~playing in the snow~~ clearing our driveway and his car. We need a rest.

Such are the days of our lives. . .

Yep, I play in the snow.
I crack the ice.
I salt where there was once snow and ice.
I drink a hot beverage and I'm ready to begin again. . .

I've been meaning to mention this. . .

Scott Sickles, who wrote today's episode, is a old friend of mine.
When he lived in Pittsburgh, Scott was instrumental in getting new play reading done on a weekly basis. I was a part of his company of actors as well as one of the playwrights whose new works were being read.
I receive a notice from Scott every time an episode of OLTL which he has written is to be aired.

td · « **Reply #99 on:** February 09, 2010, 11:54:06 AM »

Scott has a face book page (in the arts and entertainment pages) called People Who Give a Damn When Scott's One Life Episodes Air.

And Roxie had several good malaprops today:
1. good riddance to bad relish
2. what are you going to do, sue me for defecation of character?

Thanks for all the Travel Vibes. There was a little "scare" when I got to Charlotte - my connecting flight back to LGA was delayed by 15 minutes, and then they changed gates and the plane too. There were also some passengers* on the flight who had been "shuffled" from some later flights, since those later flights to LGA were already being cancelled. It wasn't a sold out planed, but it was full. However, I did end up with an empty seat next to me. -That's always nice.

*It turned out that one of those other passengers was a former college classmate/fellow musician/pianist. We had a nice mini-reunion in the terminal. -Because he had been bumped to that flight, he was upgraded to First Class. Hmmm, I knew I should have booked a later flight.

I guess the adage: Work begets work - was in action while I was in Memphis. I managed to pick up a full day of playing for another company this Friday here in NYC, and I also got booked to play a couple of days of auditions for a new show (also here in NYC) next week. And I was also asked about my interest and availability in another quite nice project. Details to follow once the ink has dried.

My friend, Brendan, who is a pilot for Continental just texted me from Pittsburgh. He said the snow would most likely be following him when he flies back to Newark this afternoon...

Very good news. -And I'm truly thankful I checked my email via my iPhone on the lunch breaks while I was in Memphis. Otherwise, I would have lost out on two of them. Whew!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #113 on:** February 09, 2010, 01:02:13 PM »

And now I need to run out for a bit to take care of some errands as well as meet up with some folks for dinner.

I shall catch up during the blizzard.

I don't think he's eligible for the Ladies Senior event, despite obvious appearances.

I don't care much whether it snows or not but since they are predicting a blizzard for tomorrow, the middle of the work week I shall say my prayers and then call the office tomorrow hoping for a bad weather closing.

Can't wait to see it. I should have time later this evening!

Matt H. · « **Reply #117 on:** February 09, 2010, 01:13:25 PM »

I watched last night's CASTLE while I cooked and ate lunch. Entertaining episode though I had the "mystery girl's" identity nailed very early and also picked the correct murderer. Still, fun show.

Matt H. · « **Reply #118 on:** February 09, 2010, 01:16:21 PM »

Then I watched REVANCHE. It's a German film, a mood piece about revenge and the healing power of nature. Unusual, maybe 15 minutes too long, but the director obviously takes his time with very methodical set-ups, almost no camera movement (a plus), and quiet performances. The leading actor has some of the quiet intensity of Viggo Mortensen but not quite as charismatic.

Matt H. · « **Reply #119 on:** February 09, 2010, 01:17:41 PM »

There are four bonus features, and I got through three of them: trailer, an interview with the director, and a making of documentary where we see the actors being staged in the scenes and then rehearsing before shooting.

The director's first student film, a 45-minute short, is the remaining bonus I haven't gotten to yet. I'll do it when I go back down.
