Don't you already have "authentic British" in your household, Vixmom? As for the beers, pub food, and high teas, I wouldn't know.

I'm waiting for the DVD at the end of the month.

Page four? Four pages?

Most unseemly.

We had a wonderful stumble-through - cast is amazing, Hal Linden is an utter delight, and the songs are pure heaven. Only two teeny-tiny lyric flubs, both covered very well. I only had to give two tiny notes, that's how good the singers are doing.

Then a few of us went to Hugo's. I had the pasta papa (not nearly as much as usual and I shared some of it) and a small Caesar (much smaller than usual). Nice dinner, nice conversation. I'm home now and must really buckle down, Winsocki, as I've written less that two new pages today. I did spend a bit of time finessing the previous day's writing, so there's that, but two pages will simply not do. Once I'm through this chapter, then it's somewhat easier for the next few chapters.

Also, season three of The Killing (Danish version) arrived - I've read nothing about it, so I'm anxious to dive in.

I watched two of the Daimajin movies and enjoyed them.....but looking around on the inner web - it seems that they have all been cut by 10 minutes or so from another release.......

Is that 101 Daimajins?

Sat through a wonderful 5-1/2 hour opera (LES TROYENS) today. Incredible cast.

Might have to miss the MARIA STUARDA next, but am greatly looking forward to the Las Vegas (yes, Las Vegas) RIGOLETTO that follows.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #104 on:** January 05, 2013, 06:31:49 PM »

Ran a few errands, came home, watched a few Twilight Zones, and now I must needs work on a few excerpts from BARNUM that I'll record for these people tomorrow for use as audition accompaniment. Then, back to the TV room and the Blu-rays.

I haven't done the Met simulcasts in years. I need to start doing that again.

Well, TCB, you'll be pleased to note that the Sparkle remake doesn't hold a candle to the original, and the script is particularly horrible.

So the Vixter and I went to see Twilight - the final movie in the series

I'm not sure if you or the Vixter have read Breaking Dawn. But there is something that they do in the movie that is totally different from how they did it in the book. And I thought how they did it in the movie was incredible.

I'll put spoiler space in case anyone here is going to see the movie or read the book.

In the movie Breaking Dawn Part 2 - after Alice arrives and all the bad guys arrive (the big fight scene). Well that whole scene was amazing to watch on screen. I absolutely loved it how heads were flying ... the way they played out the whole fight. And then how they showed that that was what would have happened. Well no fight scene in the book. So imagine all the Twilight fans freaking out during the movie thinking that the director had changed the book. I thought what he did was great. Because the film is so visual it needed a scene like that. But to change the book. Well that would not have been good. So this was the best of both worlds.

We did read the book and I suspect most of the audience had as well - It was a very well behaved audience - no talking or texting when that scene started there were shocked exclamations of "What?!" " No!" " How could they?!"

when the Alice reveal came the Vixter actually said out loud, "Thank God!" and there was applause and laughter because everyone felt the same way

The email from the MET says 12:55 p.m., and the local movie starting times site says 12:00. Oy!

The theater will be using the extended Overture.

I hope the new PIPPIN is a huge hit.

I hope I never have to sit through it.

Don't you already have "authentic British" in your household, Vixmom? As for the beers, pub food, and high teas, I wouldn't know.

I do have me an authentic Brit in residence - and we have our Christmas crackers and make tea every day in our Brown Betty . We keep a goodly supply of Branston pickle, HP sauce and pickled onions in the cupboard

I am known to make a trifle with Birds custard from time to time and a do make lovely steak and mushroom pies, chicken pies and shepherd's pie (if I do say so myself)

I have not yet mastered scones and haven't a clue as to how to make or where to buy clotted cream for high tea - though I supposed I could rustle up some cucumber sandwiches in a pinch

This morning we boarded our bus at 8:30 and headed for Canterbury. Walked around the St. Martin's churchyard, then headed for the Cathedral quarter. A cousin of one of our parishioners met us for lunch, after which we rejoined our group for a guided tour of the Cathedral and choral evensong. Got back to hotel about 6 and we have the evening free. Richard and I are spending it at Starbucks catching up with our email and social networking.

It sounds great, so far. Continued good vibes.

I have only 13 pages left to read of THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES. I've enjoyed the book far more than I expected to. I should have read this years ago.
