The other day I was listening to Sirius On Broadway and they were playing "The World Goes Round" from LIZA AT THE PALACE.

I swear that I thought it was Wayne Newton singing!

Have you ever seen them together?

BK, perhaps we could go for dinner before the play on the 7th?

I have not yet decided if I will drive up to Olympia and then drive back home to Salem that night, or if I will get a room and drive back the following morning. If I stay then we can also do breakfast, perhaps.

MBarnum, if you drive back to Salem on Friday night, you won't be able to go out with us after the show!

Well I may have to buy this LUCY MOVIE disk.....

Or get the remake starring Debra Messing.

Darn it, Ron, you beat me to the punch.

I've been on hold with Continental for twenty minutes - absolutely infuriating. They told me to call 24 hours in advance of the flight to change my seat to an aisle on the Houston to Indiana leg of the flight - I've been trying, but so far still on hold, and I have to tell you if they've already given it away while I've been on hold I will NOT be so nice about it. I'm on hold with the frequent flyer line - you can't even get through to the normal reservation line.

Twenty minutes.

The day has been a little nuttier than I wanted it to be. I had some eggs at the Studio Cafe, got the toothpaste, did some errands and whatnot, then had to ship not five CDs but fifteen, all of which had to be boxed, addressed, and postaged, then taken to the postal office. Then I had to spend thirty minutes on chat board with Apple fixing a mobile me problem that affected only the laptop - finally got that working properly again. And now Continental. I've been trying to go jogging but now can't until after five, since the person who's watching the house is coming then to get the key.

I've been listening to the cast recording of AMERICAN IDIOT and I enjoyed it a lot! (it's currently available for a free listen at MTV.com --warning--it's not for everyone's taste...)

I'm a little bit disappointed that they stuck so slavishly to the original arrangements from the album and I'm finding that the lead female doesn't pack enough of a punch to be able to deliver her songs that were written for male voices. But these are minor complaints. I'm a big fan of Green Day and I'm hoping that the show does well.

I listened to a little bit of this last night, but it was getting late, so I couldn't check out very much of it. I liked what I heard, though.

Finally got someone on the phone and found I'd just wasted twenty-five minutes on hold - the One Pass line can't even pull up reservations - she then switched me to the regular number, the one I couldn't get through - hold time was supposed to be four minutes - it's been fifteen so far and I am really getting to the point where I will lose any ability to be nice.

I'm exhausted, but solvent. This was probably the second most difficult tax season i'd ever had in the 18 years with these people.

FJL · « **Reply #139 on:** April 14, 2010, 05:34:33 PM »

I say probably, because if not the second most difficult, it was the most difficult.

Jennifer - I'm not being deliberately stupid, but for a player on the Bengals, is $10,000 really considered a lot to spend on a present?

Did anyone else have a WTF moment last night during the previews for next week's LOST when they played that weird distorted soundclip from WILLY WONKA?

I saw two of the three "gasp" moments on last night's LOST coming.

I bet I know which one you didn't see coming. . . .I certainly didn't. . .

And speaking of "Lost"...

I'm currently watching it online, and noticed the Last Supper tableau on the "Watch Episodes" page. Hmmm...

There are a couple of variations of that tableau. . . .

Back to LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING - I, too, was quite confused the first time I saw it. I knew who Bilbo was because of THE HOBBIT, but, I got really confused when Liv Tyler's Arwen (?) first showed up, also with Stryder's initial appearance, the ring-wraiths confused the hell out of me and I couldn't tell the difference between Merry and Pippin.

That said, I still have not read the books, though they have sat on my shelf for a long time before Peter Jackson even thought of making the films.

And to add insult to injury, I had seen the animated LORD OF THE RINGS and hated it with a passion - I probably still do. . .

But, on second viewing, THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING fell into place for me. I know that one really shouldn't HAVE to see a film more than once to understand it, but, with each viewing this series gets richer and more emotionally charged for me. I break out into tears in the first two films with the advanced knowledge of what transpires in the third installment.

It's not even that I'm not a fantasy fan - hell, if you love musicals, you have to be a fan of fantasy - but, I think that Peter Jackson created a world of fantasy in his three films that is a very real, cinematic world, a world that I enjoy spending time in, whether in the theatrical or the extended (NOT director's) cuts.

AND. . .I watched the blu-ray of FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING up until the mid point last night (once the fellowship is formed in Rivendale) and I'm still waiting for the transfer to be lackluster. . .

Last week I mentioned that I would willingly sit through a screening of SHOWGIRLS, rather than having to sit through ARMAGEDDON ever again.

Today let me just say that I would willing sit through both SHOWGIRLS and ARMAGEDDON rather than ever having to sit through LORD OF THE RINGS another time.

Maybe if you sat through THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy WITH ME, you'd have a very special viewing experience. . . .
