Well, you've read the notes, the notes felt a song coming on, and now it is time for you to post until the singing cows come home.

[bk]

And the word of the day is: OBDURATE!

[George]

From yesterday:

OK - this is about to go viral, so I can tell you all that, as of last Thursday (yes, April Fool's Day), Rob and Mary Linda are engaged:

The Big Announcement

They will probably wait to get married until Rob finishes his paramedic training next summer (2011).

Congrats to Ginny's DS Rob and soon-to-be daughter-in-law Mary Linda!

[George]

Also from yesterday:

And speaking of Mt. Rainier...

Although I can't make it out there for Brain, it does look like I'll finally be paying a visit to my aunt in Seattle sometime this summer, since my cousin will be getting married. -I haven't been back to Seattle since I was 9-years old.

Cool!  And maybe if you have time, you could get together with the PNW HHW Contingent while you are out here.

Good morning, all! I was so wound up after last night's show that I stayed up way too long: about 12:30 or so, and now I am getting ready for another round of the McGlinnventory this morning. Most of yesterday was sorting through cartons of DATs, Reei ro Reel tapes, audiocassettes and videotapes, and I suspect today will be more of the same. I ran across lots of cassettes of New Amsterdam Theatre Co. performances that I had duped for John aroubnd 1987, and there are a ton of unmarked items we need to look at or listen to once we have enough space to assemble all of his sound equipment.

For me, the great find yesterday was a live performance CD and audiocassette  of Victor Herbert's one-act Wagnerian parody THE MAGIC KNIGHT from the Edinburgh Festival around 1994. I had helped John copy parts for the piece in the early 1990s and I had been hoping we would find the source for the cassette John had given me after the Edinburgh Festival performances. There are several pirated copies floating around in poor sound. I knew that John had a good live performance tape but I had no idea where it might be. The CD jewel case for for the CD was empty and mangled when we ran across it about a month ago, and the CD we found yesterday was lying unprotected amidst a pile of broken plastic and tapes hastily tossed into a carton. Luckily, it had no damage and sounds great. I'm guessing McGlinn's source is an archival house recording. So many of the Edinburgh Festival opera performances are broadcast by the BBC that I suspect each venue has a good sound system.

DR Ginny, tell Rob and Mary Linda that I am very happy for them!

I need my breakfast before I head off to the inventory.

The last movie I saw was THE HURT LOCKER. I think it's the most tense film I have ever seen and I liked it very much. I never want to see it again.

[Ben]

Morning all.

[Ben]

I saw Alice in Wonderland. I sort of enjoyed it (Merrily).

I so rarely see movies (I think 99.99% of what's out there is unmitigated crap and I'm not going to spend $12.75 or more to see it) that I can't even begin to answer the question

[Druxy]

TOD:

The last movies we watched were THE BLIND SIDE, THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS and AN EDUCATION.

GOATS had some issues, but we really enjoyed them all.

We spent the past few days watching the complete series of STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP.

Excellent writing and direction, endearing characters.  It's too bad that it didn't succeed.

[Jrand73]

Congrats to Rob and Mary Linda.

Sorry to hear that DR JANE has an M & M monkey on her back.

DR CILLA LIZ only has pickup once a week....as do we.  But our pick up doesn't happen until about 2 p.m. in the afternoon, so I don't have to get up early to make it happen.

Lovely photo from DR TCB....mountains and flowers, mountains and flowers.....she might do better with a heavy veil.....a HELLO, DOLLY! reference.

[Jrand73]

I am thinking that Friday, April 16, would be fine....I would take that day off from work....a sacrifice...NOT....

If that is confirmed for you MR BK, I will be glad to let the cast know you are coming and arrange the tickets for you (tell me if you need more than one).  Bryan and I are still planning to go on Sunday....so I will get a preview.

[Jrand73]

Today is our AUDIENCE FILLED dress rehearsal......a bit scary.....the audience seems like it will be something out of SPARTACUS, but hopefully Debbie and I will get a thumbs up for our disco.....

And then one more day....one day more.

[elmore3003]

I am off to the McGlinnventory, then back here to edit a piano-vocal of the BABES IN TOYLAND song "Evaline McCook" and continue with the Montogomery & Stone Medley. I need to lay out a vocal part and a drum part.

Last night DR Jose wrote:

DR Jennifer - Are these the Peanut Butter Eggs in question?

Well i checked and mine are made by hershey's. But they look exactly like the ones you have pictured here.
Although i'm not sure if these ones would be hard peanut butter (mine are hard) vs the more softer peanut butter filling of what is usually in reese's.

The hard peanut butter is basically the same texture as the hard chocolate in the regular milk chocolate filled hard shelled eggs.

[Jennifer]

And the link you provided last night for the Lindt white chocolate eggs is the exact yellow package i have.

You mentioned that you found them the same as the non easter chocolate balls they sell.

I actually found the outside chocolate to be softer than the balls. And i've never tasted white on white balls. Only milk chocolate outside with white inside. Although they probably make the white on white, i've just never seen them.

[Jennifer]

Congrats to DR Ginny!

[Jennifer]

I also loved UGLY BETTY last night. The show is so good this year. I am getting so sad.

I have a question for those who are fans of the show.  I'm wondering what you think would be a satisfying ending in terms of betty's career and love life. I thought it was interesting that they showed Geo (sp?) and Henry. I always thought that henry was the one for her. But it totally did not work last night.  I am curious if they will even bring back cal's son (forget his name). I am also curious if people would like to see betty end up with daniel.  I don't read spoilers so don't want to know till i watch. But last night they implied that this could be the way they go. I'd have to see it played out. But right now i think it is a terrible idea. They have never shown these two to have any romantic feelings towards each other. And they make the most wonderful best friends. Also i wonder if betty would actually move to london. That could have been a good way to end the show.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND was the last movie I saw, too.  But aside from Helena Bonham Carter's Red Queen, I didn't care for it at all.  Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter was annoying, Wonderland is not Wonderland and Alice is just plain bored.

Congrats to DR Ginny's DS Rob and his intendant.

The last motion picture I saw (not necessarily a new motion picture) was "Red Garters."  I always love seeing and hearing Rosemary Clooney, and I love Joanne Gilbert.

Terrible movie.  Interesting concept.  Great color.  Good cast.  Terrible movie.

I really like that film.  Very unique.

HARD HEARTED HANNAH !

That vamp!

Thanks to DR ELMORE for the ANYONE CAN WHISTLE report.

[Matt H.]

Good morning!

It was supposed to be cooler today, but it looks like we're in for one more day of heat and humidity before returning to the proper early pring temperatures we should be having.

[Matt H.]

I don't like RED GARTERS very much. As an experiment in design and color, it's certainly interesting, but I don't find most of the music very memorable. I do like looking at Guy Mitchell, of course.

[Matt H.]

DR Jennifer:

This is not a spoiler because I have no idea how UGLY BETTY ends, but in the original Colombian version of the series, Betty and her boss do end up together. But that really doesn't signal anything because the American BETTY is very, very different from its original counterpart.

I haven't watched last night's show yet, but I had read about the possible hook-up with Daniel months ago when the show was given a cancellation notice. ABC also reduced the number of episodes from its original 22 down to 20, so the producers and writers had to do some fancy shifting of ideas to fit all that plot they were going to have in the two lost episodes into the final few they had yet to produce.
