Well, you've read the notes, the notes were dastardly, and now it is time for you to post until the dastardly cows come home.

And the word of the day is: THEOCRASY!

Amy Adams (former costume designer for BK's "What If") is on The Jimmy Kimmel (no relation to BK) Show!

Morning all.

That is all.

Ben · « **Reply #4 on:** June 05, 2013, 01:58:57 AM »

Another beautiful day scheduled for Manhattan. Sunny and mild and no rain.

Ben · « **Reply #5 on:** June 05, 2013, 01:59:19 AM »

Oatmeal, banana, walnuts, raisins and cinnamon and coffee.

Hello again from London! Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I tried but had a problem.

I really enjoyed meeting DR Doug. We ate at an Italian restaurant near my hotel in Kings Cross. It's always nice meeting fellow HHWs in different locations!

Thanks for posting the photo, DR Doug!

Enjoyed the audio and video clips in today's notes. And, bk, I hope you awake feeling 100% better.

Just finished this recently, a fun read by the author of Moose Murders, which has the distinction of being one of the worst-reviewed one-night Broadway flops ever. The author lays most of the blame on... Eve Arden.

If you pursue it, I recommend reading the play itself first. The behind-the-scenes account makes more sense that way.

Good morning to all

I had a bad case of food poisoning that landed me in the hospital for several days and the lingering effects of it lasted for 1 1/2 years. I went through many tests, some twice, and never found any cause for the problems I was having.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #14 on:** June 05, 2013, 05:10:07 AM »

Good morning, all.

Banana. (Not the ear kind.) Coffee.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #15 on:** June 05, 2013, 05:11:10 AM »

Great to see the Sami Staitman clip!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #16 on:** June 05, 2013, 05:13:10 AM »

As DR Ben says, another beautiful day here in the Nor'east. Maybe the grass and weeds have dried enough for me to mow them today.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #17 on:** June 05, 2013, 05:13:55 AM »

Also want to replace the worn out hinges on some of the kitchen cabinets. I just need to find the little bag of hinges I bought . . . ahem, two years ago.

Hello, hello, hello!

I think this afternoon is when I'll go see Baz Luhrmann's THE GREAT GATSBY. I have low expectations. Actually, zero expectations. But it's one of those things I can't quite NOT see. Also, I figure if you're going to see something so ridiculously outrageous (actually, I think in this case, it's outrageously ridiculous), you should go all the way, and that's why I'll see it in 3D.

I am SO glad these things don't cost me anything. It pays to have a manager friend. I even get my complimentary popcorn and Coke Zero handed to me on a silver platter. Actually, I don't think the platter has all that much silver content in it. In point of fact, it feels rather flimsy. Have to ask about that when I'm there.

Good morning, all!

I hope you are feeling better, BK!

My plans to be at Toyland were demolished when a shipper sent me a notice that I had to be here to receive a package, so my Wednesday and Thursday schedules are no longer what I anticipated.

Last night was nothing but bizarre dreams. I remember bits of two involving Bernstein''s CANDIDE, one in which someone was trying to murder me, but there were more, and I am very happy to be out of bed.

So, who's this new DR everyone kept welcoming and never showed up? It was like watching a musical in a tv mystery where the camera swings to the spot where the star (who's been murdered) should be, and the orchestra keeps plays the entrance cue over and over. I like it.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #21 on:** June 05, 2013, 05:26:29 AM »

VIBES and XYLOPHONES that BK is done heaving.

My own bouts with food poisoning -- the cases you KNOW are food poisoning because they're just so graphic and exciting -- have always hit me late at night, run throughout the night, and leave me as limp as a dishrag the following day. But nausea is nausea, and I hate it almost worse than scary spiders.

Much as I love STRICTLY BALLROOM, I intensely dislike everything else he's directed. I will probably never see GATSBY. The last two films are more than enough.

singdaw · « **Reply #23 on:** June 05, 2013, 05:32:40 AM »

My next rock band will be called The Dry Heaves. Unless that name has already been taken.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #24 on:** June 05, 2013, 05:39:10 AM »

I loved BALLROOM, too, when I finally watched it which was only a few months ago.

I remember originally liking the setting of ROMEO + [sic] JULIET but have no idea what I'd think of it now. Have only seen a few clips from MOULIN ROUGE. Never saw the BOHEME. That wasn't even filmed, was it?

Jennifer · « **Reply #25 on:** June 05, 2013, 06:02:15 AM »

DR TCB, it wasn't me that suggested it was the browser people were using that was causing the time-outs. I think BK and his tech people said it. I was just asking what browsers people were using to see if they were all using the same one.

Jennifer · « **Reply #26 on:** June 05, 2013, 06:07:24 AM »

I really enjoyed the video in the notes.

The Broadway version of LA BOHEME was not filmed, but the original production for Australian Opera was. For the opera, I prefer the Paris of the 1840s to the 1960s, but it has moments.

Good morning, all.

Continued vibes for DR Mike's Dad, Mike and the whole family.

Continued feel better vibes for BK.

Loved the sound clip and the video clip this morning.
