Thanks to all of you for the vibes!

Just got the new recording of "Drood." First disc is a lot of fun.

I got it too, but I decided to wait until after I see the show to listen to it.  I usually don't do it that way, but I don't want it to influence my vote since all the optional ending songs are on the new CD

[vixmom]

And now, the season finale of Outside the Box is up and running: http://broadwayworld.com/videoplay.php?colid=456740

very funny!!!

[vixmom]

Wait a minute.  A while ago we had people who had never seen CHINATOWN.  Now we have people who've never seen THE SHINING?   .

How does that even happen?       .  

 I only saw The Shining about a year ago and that was  "by accident" .
 I never saw Chinatown because movies about cops and car chases hold no interest for me and I avoid horror movies  because....... they are horror movies

[vixmom]

wow

and  its all over!

I don't think I'm going to try to get tickets to any other shows this trip.  I may check out a museum or some place I haven't been before. 

The musical "Once" is truly stunning!

I need to come in and see this - will it appeal to the Vixter as well do you think?

  I can't speak for DR Jane but most of BK's references are before my time.

You think The Shining, a classic film and one of Stephen King's most popular books is before your time??? 

It was released in 1980 --

The only Stephen King movies I've seen are GREEN MILE, STAND BY ME, and MISERY.  I liked these very much.
There were a couple of made for tv movies I could have done without.

I saw The Green Mile and Stand by Me  but could not bear to see Misery after seeing the coming attractions

That's why I'm waiting on listening to Disc Two until I have time to concentrate on all those endings. I had them on the cassette at one point in time, but that tape is long gone.

A self-catering cottage just means it's an apartment with a kitchen. It's more a European term

Self-Catering

 I was hoping you automatically had trays of canapes waiting for you.  And little sandwiches cut into triangles.

Not to mention endless bottles of chilled Dom Perignon.

 It sounded like an English term to me   so I  figured it was like Hogwarts  - a banquet magically appears on the table and then magically clears itself away

I'm still hoping for that myself.

Speaking of the Mystery of Edwin Drood.....I will be attending on Friday Feb 22.   It's going to be a short trip.  I should arrive around noon on Thursday and will leave Sat am.  I say should arrive because I'm flying from Sioux City and that flight to Chicage gets cancelled fairly often.

It is quite wonderful, I am sure you will love it .  I hope you have an opportunity to meet with Rupert  on your short trip to town

I wish you were stating a little longer so I could meet you  and take you to dinner

Not sure if he'll have time this trip.  He's working on several projects at the moment and didn't know if he'd be available, so I may or may not see him.   I have never seen the Mystery of Edwin Drood, so that's why I'm making the trip. I'm still not totally comfortable with leaving the cats....the last sitter will care for the house and Ricky and Boo...Callie will be boarded.  If it works out ok, I'll probably take a longer trip in the future

Vibes the cats are OK

[vixmom]

I must buy me a copy of Edwin Drood!

[TCB]

But today's big horror is - TERMITES.  Apparently we've got a nest of them - because I'm actually seeing them - it's terrible.  I've killed about thirty of them (they're docile) but every time I walk back in the living room (that's the only room they seem to be in) there are a few more to kill).  I've called a termite place that uses that orange spray (you don't have to vacate) but obviously they're not there on Sunday so I won't hear until morning.

Sounds more like carpenter ants.

[vixmom]

We have had issues with Carpenter ants

[vixmom]

horrible

[FJL]

Jrand, thanks for commenting on the YouTube screen!

I just want the stupid game to be OVER and now it's going to go on even longer?

Why should it bother you that the Super Bowl is on TV?  You don't even watch TV.  Over 100 million people around the world do enjoy watching the game.

The Shining is more creepy than scary - that's why fans of the book hated the Kubrick film when it came out.  They've come around to it since, though, but it's a film filled with several iconic moments, all of which are in our version.  While Jennifer may have been a bit young when The Shining originally came out, it's not like the book has been out of print or the film unavailable - it's a VERY popular movie.

I don't like Kubrick's THE SHINING.  I did enjoy the book.

  Yes. I am not a film buff and Stephen King is not my cup of tea.

I saw Misery, I just had to hide my face a couple times

It's my understanding that the cassette didn't have all of them and this is the first recording to have everything, at least I think I read that somewhere

[Jennifer]

Wow the end of the game was super exciting. The 49ers sure played well after the power outage.  Too bad they lost. The Ravens really played horribly after the power outage.

I'm sure they will be fine. They probably care less than I do. Callie knows the people at the vet's office and it's during the week so people will be there.   Alyce will pick up Callie before the vet closes on Saturday so she'd be home when I get here and wouldn't have to stay there the whole weekend for a Monday pickup.  That's really why I'm traveling during the week.

My mom has had carpenter ants many times

Hard to believe The Shining was that long ago.  I do believe it,I know I was in college, but it doesnt' seem that long ago

I've ordered it but it hasn't arrived, yet.  I have the original CD with the multiple endings, which now can be purchased for only $279.99 (new).

Good evening.  Here we are at the end of another long weekend.  Hopefully Miss Saigon is cast - that is if everyone will accept we're good to go.  After a matinee of the "pink" show, which had a small audience because of the Super Bowl, I went over to my sisters and hung out with her and my mom, and my brother-in-law and niece, of course.  We had veggie dogs for dinner, actually quite yummy.  So now I'm home and the DD and I are safely ensconced in our "cave", which we love. listening to the original Broadway cast of Man of La Mancha, which I bought digitally this evening when I looked at my iTunes library and found that the original Broadway cast was not there.  I guess I never bought it on CD.  It's the best, of course and we are loving every second of it.
