Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fishy, and now it is time for you to post until the fishy cows come home.

In my CD player (when I get to work in the morning):  "Unsung Irving Berlin" (the 2-CD set), Joan Ryan's solo CD, Guy Haines' "New Guy in Town" and Dame Edna Everage's "Color Me Edna: Songs of Co-Dependency."

Friday.  It is 8 degrees and it is a work day.  Oh well.

I liked the song from DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS that was on the Tony Awards show a few years ago.  I always like Leo.  However Mr John Lithgow is another story - don't like his look or his "way" with a role, so I usually avoid anything he is in, I finally learned my lesson after trying to watch him in several things.

Friday morning greetings!  I have a haircut scheduled this morning and Ruthless-The Musical! with my friend Katie this evening.  In between, I'll be making my 3rd batch of shortbread hearts to take for church coffee hour Sunday (Valentine's Day).

Richard and I saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels in NYC on our 25th wedding anniversary, the night Jonathan Pryce took over the John Lithgow role.  Even though I was thrilled to see JP in person, the show was one of the few for which I was not compelled to buy the recording to relive the memories.

I did buy the recording, DR GINNY.  And I like all of the performers except one....the score....well read MR BK's notes.

I appreciate that the lady across the street wants to start her car and get it warm before taking the kiddies to school - a short drive around the corner - but it would be nice if she installed a muffler on the car.

Sorry I didn't get around to it until this morning, but here is a picture of my first tux. I am 7 years old.

The little girl on my knee is Lee Montgomery. We sang and danced to "Love and Marriage."

I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS on Broadway when I saw it several years ago. We saw all of the original cast, and I found it loads of fun, tuneful, and well cast.

Good morning!

We might be in for some bad weather later today, tonight, or tomorrow. Snow is in the forecast, and it is that gray/white sky right now that often seems right for it to snow. Cold, too. Glad Friday is my day off from walking/workout.

Back to my Criterion Blu-rays today as I tackle LOLA MONTES. This should be a good weekend viewing already viewed and written up movies in a high resolution and tweaking reviews leaving time for other movie and TV watching.

Looks like CBS is kind of playing dead tonight not bothering with new episodes of GHOST WHISPERER or MEDIUM opposite the Olympic Opening Ceremonies. So, that just means I'll have more time for movie watching and catching up with some stuff on the DVR. I have a pile of shows to watch.

Good morning, all! I've been chatting on Facebook with BJ Clark who was so wonderful in THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X.

I slept late, until 7:30, and I'm planning my day, which is mostly about the New York Public Lbrary at Lincoln Center. Tonight, my drummer friend Chris, who should hopefully have more info for me about his health concerns, and I are seeing a new musical by my friend Peter Foley, THE HIDDEN SKY. I've got a bit more tax work today, and I have to round up all of my 1902  WIZARD OF OZ scores and pack them up for my trip to Amherst this week. It's the only work I will take with me.

I have been loving all of the tux photos, and I think DR Matt H has the cutest photo. There's something about kids and dance recitals that's so cute and so bizarre.

I just watched the new DVD of La Veuve Joyeuse, the French translation of THE MERRY WIDOW, directed by an idiot who sends a troupe of hunters and girls in tutus and high button shoes along with a huge, fat, ugly troll onto the scene whenever he feels his over-choreographed numbers are making sense. Another travesty from Eurotrash Productions Unlimited.

Bad transfer on 55 DAYS AT PEKING?

That's strange, because I thought mine was not sensational...but okay.

I've never seen the musical, but I love the movie.  Michael Caine is brilliant.

Though I did like the number from DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS that they performed on the Tony Award broadcast, I think I wound up playing the cast recording only once.  It just did not grab me.

If I am correct (and I seldom isn't), the Sand Dab was supposed to be named the Sand Dad.  But the guy who discovered the fish had a cold the day he called in the name to the fish-naming place.

Very nice photo, DR MATTH.

DR DRUXY - I think I ended up with the Chinese version rather than the Korean version, because I cannot remove the subtitles....oh well......

RE:  PROJECT RUNWAY

Not a Spoiler---

I don't understand why Lifetime has been giving away the exact nature of the challenges in the short promo that precedes each new episode.  Normally, the end-of-episode preview keeps each upcoming challenge a secret and I like sharing the anticipation each week with the designers and being surprised at the reveal.  But these stupid promos just flat out tell what is coming up.  I now have to remember that if I am going to watch PR live that I need to wait until the exact moment that the exact moment it actually begins instead of tuning in too early.  Grrrrrrrrr...
