You'd think that growing up in Phoenix that I would have had lots of Mexican food. I never ever had it growing up. Or Chinese food, either.

My DH won't try Mexican food, so I rarely have any. Sometimes my daughter and I will go to Julio's, and I will usually stop at Senor Taco on my way up north. One of their steak and egg breakfast burritos will keep me fed until evening.

I know ... I should go to authentic places. Good thing I am not a foodie.

Good morning, all! I slept really late because i got to bed after 1:00am, and betwixt the late hours and the pain meds I was ready to stay in bed all day.

I was prepared to love A Gentleman's Guide To Love & Murder because Kind Hearts and Coronets is one of my favorite films, but i was not expecting the macabre madhouse I saw. It's very funny, moves like a huge wind, thanks to excellent comefy direction and choreography, and it's filled with outrageous bits, funny scenery and a really fine cast of farceurs with wonderful voices, legit and character. Someone advised me to waiut to see it after Bryce Pinkham had returned from The Heidi Chronicles, and he's quite wonderful, equally matched by Jefferson Mays in the Alec Guinness role of numerous victims. Judy Blazer was also a hoot as the shady nursemaid, and the new ladies playing Mr Pinkham's objects of affection were excellent.

We had perfect seats, smack center, last row orchestra, and the set is like a toy theatre inside a jewel box of an intimate theatre. I cannot imagine how this funny little musical will play in a huge barn on tour.

Before rthe show, my friend Jim and I, who actually met 41 years ago in a dinner theatre production of A Funny Thing Happened On the Way . . ., had dinner at Orso and it was excellent. He moved to Los Angeles over 20 years ago, after abandoning acting for a successful stint as a realtor with a wonderful Beekman Place apartment. He was in town to discuss the second edition of his New York book with the publisher, attend an aunt's birthday and his high school reunion, and see friends. Each night was a different theatre date with a friend.

Back from the jog.

After the show, I came home and Jim called me to say that he wanted to give me his newest book. So he subwayed up, brought the book, and we ended up gossiping and playing on the computer for another 90 minutes before he left. I got to bed around 1:30. Today he's taking another friend to see An American In Paris and then he's back to LA.

So, today I have no plans. The muscle relaxer and Tylenol with codeine kept my back comfortable for my trek to midtown and the theatre, but i plan to take life very easily today. I have some DVDs, some CDs, and some relaxing to do.

I also like HOUSE OF BAMBOO. I saw it at the Paramount Theater in Seattle when it was first released.

It's a remake of THE STREET WITH NO NAME (1948), which is a sequel to THE HOUSE ON 92ND STREET.

It's a sequel because Lloyd Nolan plays the same character (FBI agent George Briggs) in both movies.

So long as it isn't blue.

Not even blue corn?

I love blue corn and wish more Mexican restaurants had it on the menu.

You know what's funny? The lighting gal who was so out of control and wacky - I sent her an e-mail (prior to finally letting her go) of Sami clips from the show, so she could see HOW the material is played - all I wanted was an affirmation that she understood the intentions after seeing the clips and an apology for the behavior. Never heard a peep, so I fired her. Four days later she apparently opened the e-mail and watched the clips and - LOVED them. She would have, she said, been totally on board with the show. Hopefully she learned something from this.

I give her credit for admitting this now.

TOD:
I really don't like Mexican food. I can't stand refried beans I don't care for Mexican seasoning which includes cilantro and cumin and I hate both. But, of course, Mexican food is Mark's favorite. Since he and I both are on major diets, we've been making our own fajitas, which are very low in fat and not too high in calories if you practice good portion control. And I just season the meat with chili powder, garlic and onion powder, which is perfectly yummy. Mark sprinkles cilantro on his separately and heats up his own refried beans.

Cilantro and cumin? I don't know what God-forsaken Mexican restaurants you're eating in, but they are not Mexican restaurants. I have NEVER seen, heard or had cilantro OR cumin in any Mexican restaurant that is truly a Mexican restaurant, and by that I mean not Chipotle.

Saturday morning greetings! It's another beautiful day here in SW Ohio. We're enjoying having the windows open and the AC off. I'll probably go visit Mom this afternoon.

There's also one for Las Vegas. His NYC book began as a series of columns for a New York magazine that folded after 9/11.

No. I remember very little about that show. Can't even remember half the cast.

She of the Evil Eye has arrived, but I don't really want to leave yet - I will in about a half-hour and then I'll mosey on over to the theater and get set up for today's rehearsal. Monday through Wednesday we get to leave our stuff set up, but there's a show in there so we have to take it down on Wednesday night, set it up on Saturday morning, take it down after rehearsal, set it up tomorrow morning, and take it down because they're the ONLY show in LA that plays a Sunday evening rather than a matinee. That will be the case for this coming week and weekend and then they are happily (for us) out of there for good.
