PAGE TWO!!

I see eight titles nominated for best picture.  Wasn't it nine that they upped it to? 

Not that I care.

I've only seen one, which is par for my course these days, but a couple of the others have also been on my list.

[John G.]

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

Yes, BK, you are Annie. I think taking on the role would stretch your acting abilities and it would be fun to boot. Besides, we need some more cross-gender, cross-generational casting.

You'd be more convincing than Diana Ross in the Wiz.

[John G.]

The revolution will just be televised. Date to be announced.

But I don't watch TV.

TOD:
There were three trips for about two weeks apiece. Each was too short.

Ireland which was magical that February. It snowed for four hours and rained for two, but the rest of the time, it was clear and so richly green. The trip started out with a dance competition in Tralee and we crossed the southern part of the country and through the culinary capital, Kinsale, before ending up for a few days in a tiny town called Bunclody and then moving on to Dublin. 

I also spent a couple of weeks in Brazil during Carnaval with time in both Rio and in the southern area around Florianopolis. Just gorgeous countryside and some of the most wonderful, gracious people on the planet.

And I spent a couple of weeks on Spain's Costa del Sol in a trip that included tours of the Alhambra as well as day trip to Morocco and Gibraltar. I remember some incredible food on that trip, including tocino del cielo, a flan-like dish that translates as heavenly bacon.

I think they can include up to nine or ten titles, but they don't have to.

It seems as if Hairspray is going to be NBC's next live musical.

Yawn.

TOD:

The longest vacation I ever took was 10 days and I believe I've taken a few 10-day vacations. They were to go to Europe - primarily England, Germany and Scottland. We always had a very good time. What really stands out is a trip to Liverpool where Mark booked a private Beatles tour for us, which was very fun and interesting.

[Jrand74]

I don't think I've ever taken an official vacation....every time I went some place, I had something to do there.

[Jrand74]

Writing and rehearsal vibes for MR BK!!!

[Jrand74]

Yes, DR CILLA LIZ, we are in a Mercury Retrograde until January 25.....so it's the way it goes.

I enjoyed your posts last night, most interesting.  Indiana doesn't have its primary until May - and by then, it's mostly OVER.

Shocking news about Alan Rickman.  I liked his work.

TOD - Summer, 1996.  We took the first of 3 family driving vacations that were a huge part of Rob's growing up.  We were away for 3 and a half weeks making a huge loop across Iowa, South Dakota (for Mt. Rushmore and the Badlands), and Wyoming (Yellowstone).  We then went south through Utah to Las Vegas and then across to Los Angeles for Disneyland and Universal.  From LA we went to Phoenix, picked up Mom, and drove back via the Painted Desert, Albuquerque, the Texas panhandle, Oklahoma, and St. Louis.  Mostly on the return trip, we just drove during the day and watched the Atlanta Olympics in the evenings.

[Ginny]

Then in 1999 we went east for about 3 weeks and did Civil War battlefields, Washington DC,  and a week in Ocean Grove, NJ that included 2 day trips into NYC, first to see The Lion King and second to visit the Statue of Liberty.  In 2001, we went west again, primarily to Colorado, but visited the Truman presidential library on the way out and the Eisenhower on the way back.  In CO, we went to Rocky Mountain National Park, Denver, and Colorado Springs.  Toured Celestial Seasonings (tea), Coors (beer), the Air Force Academy, and the Figure Skating Hall of Fame (Richard's and Rob's favorite - NOT).

Last week, I was riding the No 7 bus home from City Center, and I thought a passenger might be Alan Rickman. I kept thinking, what's he in town for?  Is he in a play? publicizing a movie?   I guess it wasn't he after all.

[John G.]

Shocking news about Alan Rickman.  I liked his work.

Me, too. His Obadiah Slope in the miniseries version of Barchester Chronicles was his first big role and it remains one of my favorites of his.

I'm up, I'm up - I think I actually got a little over eight hours of sleep.  Will futz and finesse in a few minutes.

Has no one gotten their Welcome to My World scripts?

[ChasSmith]

Has no one gotten their Welcome to My World scripts?

Not yet.  Just brought today's mail in.

Not here yet.

I could swear yesterday was Monday.  How did it get to be Thursday?

I hate it when that happens.

[George]

DR George, fire the usher, who should be setting some sort of model behhavior and control over the audience. The behavior with the cell phone was ridiculous.  If you have a problem, take your ass out of the theatre after notifying your supervisor of a personal problem.  If there was no problem, then the usher should never be allowed to set foot in a theatre again.

I has spoke.

I agree...just not as strongly. I agree that if she had a problem that she needed to keep track of, she shouldn't have stayed there.  The house managers would've been very understanding.  I wasn't able to leave my area, otherwise I probably would have gone to one of the house managers.  I am going to sent an e-mail to the volunteer coordinator.

[George]

I also can't wait to read DR Elmore's book!

Neither can I!

Hee!  Hee!  Hee!

Not in Tumwater.

 Brian Bedford passed away yesterday.   While working at the Bruin Theater I saw  "The Pad and How to Use It" countless times.  He was such a talented actor.

We are not supposed to even have our phones on our person when we usher. They can't really enforce that but they can fire you if you're caught using it while on your shift.

I saw him do EQUUS at the Huntington Hartford in Los Angeles.
