Well, you've read the notes, you've sung the notes, you've hit the notes both high and low, and now you are ready to post up a storm for the whole gloriously glorious very long weekend.

Have I ever gotten first post?

bk · « **Reply #2 on:** May 28, 2004, 12:06:50 AM »

I think this is a first. Congrats to our very own Swedish Chef.

Yay!

And happy birthday, Dear Reader Arnold M. Brockman who has been with us quite some time. I will drink a Cherry Coke in your honor.

A very happy Birthday to Arnold.
Back later with TOTD.
Colin has been watching the Streisand "Timeless" DVD. It will be something else later.

I was reading at the table just now and there was a box of cereal next to me. So without actually realizing what I was doing, I ate what seems like half a box of dry cereal while I was engrossed in my reading. Yuchhh. I may just vomit on the floor.

Meaning Colin will be watching something else later, or Streisand will be something else later?

CD - Maria Callas - d'Art et d'Amour (a lovely surprise gift)
VCR - Sex and the Single Mom (...It's a long story)
DVD - still broken

Goodnight!

CDs, DVDs, and videos all in boxes.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #11 on:** May 28, 2004, 01:02:28 AM »

Nothing in CD, DVD, or Video. I had a seven-hour production draft meeting (all good for me, but a lot of just grunt work).I'll be spending most of my memorial day dealing with my script ( or actually reinstating bits from earlier drafts). I will require a few hours respite at the Book Fair, BK. Expect me there Saturday, if you wish to rendezvous for a bite of lunch or just a mutual sleuthing of the stacks.

Reading in small snatches WHAT...AND QUIT SHOW BIZ? by pal Richard Vath, who directed me through the greater part of my dinner theatre career. Dick's one of the last great raconteurs and has worked with the world. His book recounts his myriad experiences with the sublime and the ridiculous in show biz.

And one for Mahler.

Welcome five GUESTS. Join us - what's currently in YOUR DVD and CD players? Don't keep it a secret, for heaven's sake.

Does anyone still wear a hat?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #14 on:** May 28, 2004, 01:46:07 AM »

Cd player: Mack & Mabel. The Howard McGillan/Caroline O'Connor version.

Elan · « **Reply #15 on:** May 28, 2004, 01:58:10 AM »

Currently listening to Michelle Nicastro singing "Waiting for Life to Begin" on her "On my Own" album, to be followed by an album of Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) music by Dorit Reuveni (my, but aren't we being eclectic at this #$@#ing early hour of the morning?!)

Many happy returns of the day, Arnold Brockman! (although how can you return a day? Who would you return it to? Could you get a refund, or would you just get a new day? Why would you want to return the same day more than once, particularly if it's your birthday?) Okay, enough of that nonsense... Happy Birthday, Arnold!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #16 on:** May 28, 2004, 02:27:50 AM »

Good Morning!

Well... I went to bed... Got up about an hour later... Felt rested, not restless... Then went back to bed... Got back up... Felt rested, not restless... And now I'm here... So, I'm hoping that after I post, I'll go back to bed... And, hopefully, this time I will sleep more than an hour and a half. -Is it a full moon?

Maybe it's the cicadas.

Topic of the Day: Nothing for me this week. Lots of stuff on standby, however. -And I'm actually starting to plan my viewing (DVDs) for after the show closes. So... If we go back to the "Snow White" release from two (three?) years ago... ah, well... Needless to say, I have plenty to catch up on and keep me occupied.

Oh, and I realized, Dear BK, that you never answered my questions from Ask BK Day (I think we both posted around the same time, so...):

What exactly about the "horrid sandwich" made it so horrid? The taste? The lack of taste? The combination of tastes? The lack of bacon? Would bacon have made it better? Did it taste like the it was "off", spoiling? Etc.. -If at this point and time you choose to wipe that gustatory (is that even the right word?) memory from your mind, then you may elect to make this question rhetorical.

And - Are you are a tea drinker? Hot, iced, Lipton, Green, herbal, Early Grey, Roobios, sweet, unsweet, etc.

OK - I feel my eyelids getting heavy... again...

Good Morning! Good Night!

*Oh, and Steve will be coming up today to see EDEN - and so we can celebrate his birthday a few days late. Something tells me we'll be heading to the Carlyle Grand Cafe for their Flourless Chocolate Waffle.. Hmmm... (AND I have a coupon!!!!)

And speaking of birthdays...

!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR ARNOLD M. BROCKMAN!!!

Happy Birthday Arnold M. Brockman, who has been with us for quite some time (according to BK).

I am listening to AccuRadio Broadway Channel and what are they playing, you ask? Well, I'll tell you what they are playing. Why should I keep this news from you? You are not an enemy combatant. You are not bad people. You are just you, reading a board in the middle of cyber space. So, back to what they are playing. They are playing the overture from Little Me, the new 1999 Broadway Cast Recording (that's how it's noted on the Web site) which was produced by our very own BK.

Again, Happy Birthday to Mr. Brockman pere. Perhaps his esteemed son, CB will join the festivities today in honor of his father's longevity.

I am too verbose for my own good.

Goodbye.

DVD check. Just finished watching "Don't Look Now" Still like the atmosphere created by the shots of Venice. 30 years + since I saw the film last.

What kind of cereal?

Ben · « **Reply #21 on:** May 28, 2004, 05:50:18 AM »

And now, on AccuRadio Broadway they are playing the overture from The King and I, the new 1996 Broadway Revival, also produced by Mr. BK. It's a BK day on AccuRadio!

Dan-in-Toronto · « **Reply #22 on:** May 28, 2004, 05:50:48 AM »

HBAB.

In the CD Player is The Boy From Oz (from yesterday p.m. - dinner preparation music).

Ben, you can never be too verbose. Better verbose than pithy.

Joyeaux anniversaire a vous...
Joyeaux anniversaire a vous...
Joyeaux anniversaire cher Arnold!
Joyeaux anniversaire a vous!
(Et beaucoup plus...)

Mornin', y'all... BOY, I did not want to get up this morning. Lucky for me, I don't have to go see GYPSY tonight like I thought I did, so I can go home and nap. We're closing the office at 3 today, so that's fine by me, and we're close on Monday, of course. I think tonight, after my nap, I'll try to venture out and see "The Day After Tomorrow" if I can get a ticket in this stinking town. I tried for days to get a ticket to "Van Helsing" (not worth the days of trying, btw) and I'm sure it will be equally hard to get a ticket for this one this weekend. Oh, well...I'll try.

TOTD:
CD: Pete 'N' Keely, Train "My Private Nation," Matchbox Twenty "More Than You Think You Are," BOMBAY DREAMS (Shakalaka Baby!)

DVD: I don't remember. I think "9 to 5"

VHS: Still broken.

Tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
and yawn and stretch and try to come to life...
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin'
and folks like me on the job from nine to five.

(Everybody!)

Workin' nine to five...
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by...
It's all takin' and no givin'...

[insert evil grin here]

I know I am new to this site, but I wish to add my hearty best wishes to DRArnold. Dido in the CD. Nothing in the DVD as yet

William E. Lurie · « **Reply #27 on:** May 28, 2004, 06:51:07 AM »

BK - Remember the Chicago Censor Board (no longer active) also condemmed THE MOON IS BLUE, MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM and SUSAN SLEPT HERE.

*******

DVD - In addition to the four new Disney Treasures I just watched CHAINED FOR LIFE starring the real Daisy and Violet Hilton. They are neither as pretty nor as talented as Alice Ripley and Emily Skinner. This is the movie that informs you that Siamese Twins cannot get marriage licenses in 27 states and asks --- but never answers --- the question "if one Siamese Twin commits murder is it fair to punish the other one as well?".

VHS - Set to record Michael Reidel's interview with Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs tonight regarding his starring on Broadway.

CD - I'd like to say "Barbara Cook's Broadway" but despite the street date of 5/25 it is somewhere in limbo between the recording studio, the warehouse and the stores.

Will report later on my media check.

This week I ordered 12, count 'em 12 Bollywood DVD movies ranging from a scary ghost movie from 1949 up to the brand spanking new 2004 release (which I have been waiting months for because I absolutely loved the soundtrack) of LAKEER!
