Right now, I am ketchuping on yesterday's posts. I don't like to read late at night because I'm usually in my bed (like I am now) and I just can't get comfortable enough to read. But I have no plans today, so I'll definitely finish it today!

Woke up too early (double whammy with the time change) out of a mildly interesting dream.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #9 on:** March 12, 2017, 06:19:20 AM »

Thinking about sustenance.

You know what I wish I had in front of me right now?

No, of course you don't. How could you?

I'll tell you. A big bowl and plate of Bob Evans sausage gravy and biscuits.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #10 on:** March 12, 2017, 06:20:04 AM »

With a side of blueberry waffles.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #11 on:** March 12, 2017, 06:21:55 AM »

And don't forget the hash browns.

Last performance of La Cage and cast dinner tonight.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #13 on:** March 12, 2017, 06:27:01 AM »

Not much else to report.

Oh -- It was nine (9) degrees when I got up. I guess that's worth reporting.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #14 on:** March 12, 2017, 06:29:09 AM »

It's thirteen now. Going up to thirty today and back down to ten tonight. Or nine. Depends on which website you look at.

But enough drivel from me!

Let's hear some drivel from somebody else.

This is a loose day for me. I've accomplished my proofreading for tomorrow, so I will do some tidying up and vacuuming this morning and then have a day to yself. I've gotten through 3/4 of The Other Boleyn Girl, so I may read sme of that this afternoon and listen to CDs.

Last night I watched bits of two Swan Lake productions. The latest, from the Royal Ballet, was designed in costumes of around 1870, about the time of the ballet's composition, and I found them all wrong. Swan Lake os a tragic fairy tale and I think it works better set somewhere in the distant past. The Prince and Swan Queen are a married couple and they danced very well, but I kept thinking how scrawny and thin his legs were.

I much preferred the London Festival Ballet production from the late 1980s, choreographed by Natalia Makarova. The German designer Gunther Schneider-Siemssen, caught a medieval German look that I thought suited the piece really well. I knew his name and work from his Metropolitan Opera Ring Cycle of the 1970s, but I loved the look of this production. I wish several of the dances had not been cut since the score is so good, but outside of a few tacky filming effects, I think this is the Swan Lake for me.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 12, 2017, 07:28:49 AM »

So, I may sped some time today reading about Swan Lake in either Roland John Wiley's book on Tchaikovsky's ballets - Wiley is credited on the Royal Ballet DVD as a consultant - or David Brown's epic Tchaikovsky study.

When I was doing dinner theatre in the 1970s, I met an actor named Jim Roman who was right out of school, and he and I became good friends. By the tie I got to Manhattan in 1979, he had made acting a secondary career since he was going into real estate. He dragged me into several ventures with him, and the cabaret act Just Good Friends performed at a coupe of events he gave. After doing well in real estate, he gave up his place on Beekman Place and moved to LA, where he worked for Disney = or was it Universal? - and now he's involved with Come From Away, which opens tonight. I wish him and the show a big success. I will see it on April 7.
