So, I"ll now get ready for rehearsal, and then I'll probably do another two or three pages after that, so I can get a couple of pages into chapter four.

I've done about eight pages of new material today.  Changed the first name of a character, and am just about to end chapter three.  This little section is tricky as the main point of the plot kicks in here and I have to do it just right.

I'm about half way through the 2nd act of my 1 person Basil Rathbone play.

Also at a tricky point.

Last night we watched THE MAJESTIC.  I forgot what a wonderful movie it is.

Hello, everyone.

Glad BK liked THE HEDGEHOG. I couldn't imagine him not liking it. It's a perfect little gem, in my view.

BTW, Garance Le Guillermic, the actress who plays the 11-year-old, is also in TO ROME WITH LOVE, the new Woody Allen film.

Yes, DD Chester is a handsome fellow. I mentioned the other day that I liked the name. It's a name with character. Plus, it's known to most people, easy to say and spell, and yet not common.

DR Druxy it really isn't that difficult to change a pet's name.  When I think of all the nicknames our dogs & cats had I also remember they answered to every single one of their names. :)

TOD

DVD - "The Best of Sammy Davis Jr Live" from a concert in Germany. I saw Sammy Davis Jr around about 1963 at the London Palladium. He gave an amazing performance which I've never forgotten.

I'm a big fan. I liked his work when I growing up, but he's one performer who I appreciate even more now. I've never seen him in person. You are quite lucky, Doug!

DR Matthew, I think you have a very good attitude toward something that for many of us would be uncomfortable. I'm sure it'll work out fine.

When DR Druxy first told us about Chester, someone said what a perfect name for a dog.  And it really is.  It would fit on a good many dogs, but being a fairly distinguished name, you would certainly have to find it on a classic English bloodhound, perhaps on a dog living on the Rutland estate in MARNIE.
It's also the name of a good hamburger joint here in San Antonio.

I need to read 60 pages a day to finish THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES by Monday.  I plan to do this without reading the tiny paperback with the small light print at night.

The book begins in the future, in January of 1999 :)

Well, I must be off.  I'm ushering tonight for Broadway’s Next Hit Musical! ;D

Quote
Every song is fresh. Every scene is new. Every night is different. It’s all improvised and it’s all funny.
 
The hysterical Broadway’s Next H!T Musical is the only unscripted theatrical awards show. Master improvisers gather made up, hit song suggestions from the audience and create a spontaneous evening of music, humor, and laughter. The audience votes for their favorite song and watches as the cast turns it into a full blown improvised musical - complete with memorable characters, witty dialogue, and plot twists galore. BNHM has been seen recently at The Triad, Tribeca Film Festival, and at the New York Musical Theater Festival, among many others.

Sounds like it's going to be great (at least, I hope it will be).  They're doing two performances, one tonight and one tomorrow night, and I'm ushering for both.  AND since I'm ushering and not working concessions, I'll actually get to see all of both performances. :D

Be back later!

So, I started going to one of the gyms at work this week. It's surprisingly been fun, though that has never been my favorite pastime. But muscles I haven't used in a while are letting me know that they are not pleased.

TOD:

I'm expecting 3 titles from Warner Archive, but they might not be here until Monday:

THE HARD WAY
THE MAN I LOVE
THE FRISCO KID


Actually, now that I think of it, if I put those titles in a different order, you might think I had ordered porn movies.

sory I was E & T yesterday   I had a  truly frustrating day with people who were being intentionally obstructive -  I had a massive headache and since I was on a special diet for my PET scan today could not take a tylenol or aleve andcould not bear to look at teh computer screen any longer

Of all days to have a headache.  Were you going through caffeine withdrawal?

probably caffeine withdrawal  - I generally have 3 cups a day at the office and then tea at home at night

I went through caffeine withdrawal a number of times until I finally kicked my Pepsi addiction.  Have you tried caffeine free tea at night? 

Jane, are you trying to take all of the fun out of her life?

I slept until 9! today after going to sleep around 10 -  I usually only get 6 or less hours of sleep a day so this was massive!

I envy that. Since going on decongestants for the cedar pollen, I haven't slept well. The pills are non-drowsy, but that seems to last through the night, too.


Why are you using non-drowsy medication?  Judy Garland would be very disappointed in you.

I like to stay awake at work. Perhaps I need some dolls at night to counteract that.
