Well, you've read the notes, the notes were much ado about both nothing and something, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're hoping for much aMOO about something.

MONKEY'S MOUTHPIECE CRIES "IMPOSSIBLE"
'He doesn't even have a passport!" says Simbulon.

Late last night the attorney representing the American simian suspect in the heist earlier this week of almost five millions dollars worth of art work from the Paris Museum of Modern Art said that his client does not even have a passport, nor can he lift anything weighing more than 2 grams.

Among the paintings taken:

Well, I slept for almost 10 hours and am still tired, so there will be naps today before, hopefully, another good night's sleep. I have no idea what hours I work tomorrow, but I hope to be ready for it.

TOD: Mad Men 3 has come in at the library

So has the new Finian's Rainbow recording. Looking forward to DR Elmore's work and that glorious score.

Car CD: Disc 13 of "The Lacuna" by Barbara Kingsolver

And if I have time, I hope to start BK's book.

TOD:

I have a few things that I can watch this weekend.

1. NIP/TUCK (Final Season) - I'm about 8 episodes into what began as a very good show and has gone downhill ever since. This season is really pretty bad, not even a guilty pleasure, but I've agreed to write a review of it.

2. THE EASTWOOD FACTOR - a documentary that I'm going to review.

3. THE SAMUEL FULLER COLLECTION - I have 5 more titles in this set to watch. Looking forward to seeing them.

Sam Fuller Collection sounds great.

Good morning, all! I slept late and I am now pondering my day. I believe I have laundry and some tidying this morning, along with a trip to Staples and, hopefully, the NYPL.

DR John G, my work is so slight on FINIAN'S RAINBOW that, unless you're following the recording with a vocal score, you'll hopefully never hear where Messrs Walker and Bennett stop and I take over. Most of my work was in the new underscoring, and only a few portions of that made the recording. That's exactly how it should be, and I hope you enjoy it. And so to work.

TOD:
DVD: three Netflix items, DIDO AND AENEAS
CD: Guy Haines, Bruce Kimmel, Liz Callaway, FINIAN'S RAINBOW, a lot of McGlinn bootlegs
VCR: smut

DR Jane do you still watch the MENTALIST? (no spoilers). Last night's season finale was really good. I really did not want it to end!

iPod: I found a cast recording I never listened to: THE HAPPIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD

Because I have Jacques Offenbach standing on a high pedestal as one of the great theatre composers, I wsh that I liked THE HAPPIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD more than I do. Harburg chose Offenbach for two reasons: his outrageeous satires of Helen of Troy and the Orpheus and Eurydice legend and the fact that Offenbach as a dead composer was easier to deal with. The Lysistrata plot line doesn't work badly, but I think the tunes are great, a lot of Harburg's lyrics are good. and the original production with all of its undressed men as Olympian gods would have made it DR MBarnum's favorite musical ever. The performances may have been charming but a lot of the women's singing may have come from Broadway names but it's worse than you'd hear in a 4th-rate production of one of Offenbach's own shows. Best voice: the wonderful Bruce Yarnell.
