I saw the results of the ladies skating finals. What crushing long programs for some of the favorites! Sounds like a train wreck for some of them. What a shame. They must really be physically and emotionally exhausted after the Olympics.

After I finish my afternoon internet surf, I've decided to go ahead and finish up with my taxes. No reason not to, and my eyes have uncrossed from entering all that data from this morning!

They finally found an actor to play CAPTAIN AMERICA. When I met with the producer in LA, this seemed to be their biggest obstacle. They couldn't find a young actor with the right "build"...it's too popular to be skinny.

Looks like Chris Evans is very qualified!    ;)

Yes, he's a great Johnny Storm in the FANTASTIC FOUR movies, and he should be fine as Captain America. His brother Scott, of course, plays the gay cop Oliver FIsh on ONE LIFE TO LIVE.

Gratuitous Chris Evans beefcake for DR MBarnum!

I'm hopping off-line now to (hopefully) finish up my 2009 tax return. Can't wait to have this over and done with!

I am back from a great rehearsal with dramatic soprano Margaret Jane Wray, one of the funniest ladies I know. She's here for AIDA at the Met and she's one of the best. Here's a photo of her in AIDA in Wales.

Isn't Captain America the superhero with the "mighty shield"?

I wonder if he has a mighty sword (a Randy Newman reference...)

Vibes for DR JEANNE.

Good news from DR CILLA LIZ.

DR JMK - if you really want to sell your house,  bury a small St Joseph statue or icon upside down between the front door and the street, facing away from the house.

I know you probably have several of them around the house.  Once it sells, dig him up and take him with you or the sale will fall through.

DR ELMORE - the HOFFMAN I was watching was on PBS from the met...the Bartlett Sher version.

As opposed to the Sonny and Cher version.

I love AIDA....opera and musical.....still on the fence about MY DARLIN' AIDA or whatever it was called.

So DR's - what story, novel, or film that has not gotten the OPERA treatment, do you think should be so written?

I loved DOCTOR ATOMIC - so an opera can be written about almost anything....well I guess ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN might not qualify....but other than that...it's open season.

How about the life of Jean Harlow as an opera?

 Or the life of Clara Bow?  I can see it now La Bow Him.  Also the title of an opera about Sitting Bull.

BK,

This is probably old news to everybody else, but I just discovered where the "Guy Haines" name (probably) originated.

It's Farley Granger's character's name in STRANGERS ON A TRAIN.

 ;D

Did Farley ever sue?

 ::)

No one ever accused you of being ahead of the curve. :)  I have a signed photo on my piano from Mrs. Haines - Laura Elliot aka Kasey Rogers.

I remember that, but I never before made the connection.

Nope. Giuseppe Verdi is a brilliant orchestrator and needs no help.

Speaking of gratuitous beefcake, where is DR MBarnum today? Cruising the nursing homes for an 80 year-old date? Trolling the parks for hot elderly men on walkers?

I have to go to market: I am out of a few staples, like bread and milk.

The HOFFMANN did not get good reviews, but I really wanted to see the Sher production. The John Schlessinger production from Covent Garden with Domingo is one of my favorites.

I also love the Michael Powell film, even if the translation makes Offenbach sound like Gilbert & Sullivan!

I'll be the judge of what Verdi does or does not need.  I think a klezmer band would suit him to a T or even a W.

Just stopped to say hello. Time to get ready to sell tickets for the film festival, followed by watching the films, and counting the ballots for the audience favorite.  It should be a fun evening
