Today marks the 20th anniversary of the day my mom was killed. It seems impossible that it has been that long. Probably why I can't sleep.

DR George - I agree with you; I always prefer fresh cat puke, myself.

Hoping the beloved feline is back to 100% very soon.

Thanks, but it's pretty normal for her, so as soon as she's done the deed, she's perfectly fine.

The first post yet again. Well, the first post after George, who was the fist post after BK!

TCB - Please correct that typo. It's a family site, isn't it?

Thanks, Fred.

Can't do coffee. Caffeine doesn't like me. Bummer.

Well, just jumped through another hoop in my attempts to take my final course for my master's. I had to complete an online course, and I had to have it done by today in order to begin class on Monday.

And when did they tell me about this 18-part course? Yesterday. And when did they tell me that it had to be completed today? This morning.

~~~VIBES OF ALL KINDS!!~~~

And I am home! Because my morning was preoccupied with LITTLE ME, i missed wishing DR singsong the best for his audition and sending him and our DR TCB vibes for good health, wealth, and happiness. I'm sending them belatedly to all the Drs; I'm very self-centered, but you are all a greatly valued part of my life, and I am most likely remiss in telling you all that often enough.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vibes for Health, Wealth, and Happiness to all the Drs! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, the orchestra reading went well, but the piano-conductor book is a mess. Ralph Burns' work is often brilliant, especially in the big band and jazz sections; the "Rich Kids Rag," the title song, and "I've Got Your Number" just click, but at times I kept thinking, why did he make that choice? Trumpet 4 was a huge success, especially with the player who let me know he was happy for the job!

I'm not finding Mr Viertel's disdain so amusing any more, but at least I know exactly where I stand with him; the ones I worry about are those i can't figure out.

I do not understand the logistics of accomplishing this!

And I heard from Charlotte, who is indeed seeing CINDERELLA tonight. we'll move our date to next week. I'm going to have some pizza and salad for dinner.

No Tom Hanks? The Oscars are just hopeless now, a complete joke, with all the kiddie members voting for their little flavors. And the ubiquitous nomination for Meryl Streep who is TERRIBLE in August: Osage County - Emma Thompson gave a great performance and these people are idiots. Glad at least that Judi Dench got her nomination, then again, they know her name because she's in the James Bond films. Hated American Hustle and Wolf and detest that both have so many nominations. Detest that Mr. Frears, the best director in the bunch, is not nominated for his simple and perfect work on Philomena. Of course, these yahoos don't understand anything but show-off direction so there's that.

Amen to that, bk

Finally am getting this cold under control. Next is getting my voice back from all the coughing and I can get back to all that is normal. Cough syrup with codeine has seemed to do the trick. Everything is draining, which is reeking havoc on my throat, but there is no temperature so I'm pretty sure there is no infection. It's more of a nuisance than anything else. In the meantime, I can give my best Harvey Firestien singing impression.

Since it's so quiet in here, I'll take this opportunity to say I'm going to either piano/conduct, or music/direct and piano/conduct -- depending on whether the director of the show wants to MD as well (sometimes he likes to do it all) -- a local production of AVENUE Q this fall.

There. That should get everybody's bells ringing.

Congrats!!! Have a great time with the show.

DR Ship Shape, your job interview isn't in a Burlesque show I hope. It would be kind of weird if you got a job playing the straight man.

It doesn't really need to be. Except for the Nightmare, one production I saw omitted it, which was fine, didn't miss it. Other production I saw tried to be creative with it, and it didn't land.

I think we can all agree that DR TCB puts the "bomp" in the "bomp-di-bomp-bomp".

However, I cannot decide whether DR singdaw puts the "bing" or the "bang" in the "walla-walla-bing-bang".

Then who puts the ram in the ram-alam-a-ding-dong?
