THE SHAKING OF THE BOOTY

Well, you've read the notes, you've pondered the shaking of the booty, and now it is time to post and shake, not necessarily in that order.

Birthday spankies to Laura II!!!

CD Player: OCR Wicked.  I happen to like it.

DVD Player: Today, we're hoping to introduce the grandlads to The Adventures of Robin Hood.  But we're taking along The Wizard of Oz as a backup, just in case.

I want more sleep!  Dangedies, why is it when we go to ladsit, I never get enough sleep the night before?

Back much much much later.

Couldn't make it to the Party last night. I did, however, have a wonderful time with my dear friend, David. We (Ant and David and I) had a very nice diner dinner at The Terminal Diner. The name does not inspire confidence but it sits at the foot of the Roosevelt Island Tram which, for those who are unfamiliar with this piece of New York real estate is a re-developed island of apartments accessible mainly by a tram going back and forth between the Island. It was called Welfare Island for many years and had a hospital at the southern end. That hospital is where Alberta Hunter, the amazing jazz singer, worked for many years when she was "out of the business".  Anyway, I digress (what's new). I had a delicious meat loaf sandwich, Anthony had a veggie burger and David had a chicken Ceasar salad. We then moseyed on over to the Sutton City Cinema 1 to see Broadway: The Golden Age. I really enjoyed it. It made me realize again why I love theatre and how magical it can be. I'm looking forward to the DVD release as well, because from what I read, he will include more footage of interviews that he couldn't fit into the finished product. We left the theatre and took a long walk around midtown and then we (Ant and me) returned home and went to bed.

I'm listening to Love Me or Leave Me right now. I just finished listening to Miss Streisand and Yves Montand sing about psychic energy and plants growing and coming back, etc. Later I will listen to The Grand Tour and The Baker's Wife. I have a meeting from 10am to noon so I will not be able to listen to as many CDs as I would like, damn them, damn them all to hell.

Anthony will be on Long Island this weekend (he leaves this afternoon) for clown shows so I will be alone. I have plenty to listen to, having gone to the library and left with many CDs. I will also finally watch Call Me Madam which I purchased at a little CD/DVD store in my neighborhood. I'm looking forward to that.

Well, I need to peruse the report handed out yesterday. We need to be familiar with it in regards to our meeting.

Au revoir, mes amis, till later this afternoon.

[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LAURA II!!![/move]

Oy, I had a great time at the partay last night, but I'm dragging my booty this morning.  But that's okay--it's Friday and the project I've been working on these past three months is complete and it looks like the next week or so will allow for some primo goof-off time at the office.

Media Report:

CD Player (at home):  B-52's Cosmoc Thing--I was playing that for the partay.
CD Player (at work):  Audra McDonald Happy Songs
DVD Player:  SCTV Volume One.  Althought this is another somewhat pricy set, it's worth it!  Terrific funny stuff!

I missed the party because I was at ABT's SWAN LAKE.  I marvel at ballet dancers... they make it look so easy.  To keep it brief, this production used a fog machine more than any Broadway musical.  The corps de ballet was much better then the NYCB Corp... they were in perfect synch with each other.  For a "story ballet" there was a lot of showy dancing that didn't move the story, but then the story of SWAN LAKE isn't exactally that enthralling.  Ashley Tuttle was a delight in the female lead.  And although Angel Corella in the male lead spends most of the evening watching other dancers when he finally got his big Pas De Deux with Tuttle in Act III he was spectacular.

I'm working at home. Lots of details to look at - so nothing on the CD player. Earlier I was listening to The Producers. DRs Panni and Michael, do you notice a similarity between "King of Broadway" and the "King of Kensington" theme? I found myself humming the latter after listening to the former.

On the stove: A large corned beef. I work in different corners of the city, and each neighborhood has its attractions. Wednesday I passed a kosher butcher shop and couldn't resist. Now if I only had a crowd to feed ...

Re: last night when I said Laura II's birthday was in a few minutes.

Well it was 10pm for me.  So 2 hours was a few minutes.

(and no i don't live in Greenland, ha ha) :)

DR SWW, it is funny that you got asked to make the food again.  I suppose it's just easier than making it herself.

I know she was incredibly rude.  But I think I would try again.  I mean someone has to be the bigger person.  But this time, like DR Jane said, I would try to get advice on what ingredients they don't like.  And also, I would try to dumb down the recipes (just use the basic ingredients).  They would probably like it better.  Good luck!

Also wanted to remind those MONK fans that the season 3 premiere of MONK airs tonight at 10 p.m. EDT on USA. It's repeated at midnight if you forget.

DR BEN you made some wise purchases yesterday!  They will be part of your permanent collection.  Some music and movies lays there like so much fish....I think your selections will be often listened and viewed.

DRWEL...I love Swan Lake....always makes me think of Dracula since it was the music used in the Bela Lugosi movie...but I like the story.  Tchiak has always been a favorite!

Speaking of Tams-Whitmark (ugh!), the first musical I ever did that they represented was LI'L ABNER, and I LOATHED those horrendous sides they furnished. Made read-through and rehearsal a VERY trying and frustrating experience. And people who were playing multiple roles had four or five of those awful things juggling them trying to find where their lines were. Just terrible. Other Tams shows I've done (A CHORUS LINE comes to mind), the director usually copies his script and gives it out, and lets the sides sit in the office.

The next musical I did after that was THE PAJAMA GAME, and I thought I had died and gone to heaven with the libretto and music all in one book. Bless you, MTI.

I said it before and I'll say it again:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAURA II!!

I'm working the reception desk today (praise to Buddah) so I don't have to move furniture around the office (they're renovating and moving desks around). Should be a fairly quiet day in the office, but of course, now that I've said that it will be outrageously chaotic.

Media check:

CD: David Sedaris' "Barrel Fever" discs two and three and the CAROLINE, OR CHANGE promo CD.

DVD: MOBY DICK: THE MUSICAL! CD. It only plays in my DVD player for some odd reason.

VHS: Still broken.

Mini-disc player: Selections from Jeanine Tesori's VIOLET and CAROLINE, OR CHANGE.

Computer CD Player: I can't remember, but it's something... Maybe the new B'way recording of LITTLE SHOP featuring our very own Ms. Kerry Butler...?

I've been errant and truent and I deserve to be bitch slapped, but please don't - I have a very low pain tolerance.  

CD player is empty but I'm going to be putting in the FIDDLER revival recording shortly.  DVD will be HELLO, DOLLY! later this afternoon.  Barbra is no Carol.

No Bollywood movie of the week as I don't think I will have time to watch one this weekend.
