Thanks for that DR George.
Agree with OzDerek about the new POTO song - it is so nothing and seems to relate to nothing.
Still, if the M & M song can win!

Dan-in-Toronto · « **Reply #241 on:** January 27, 2005, 05:43:52 PM »

And I still think the new POTO song's title, Learn To Be Lonely, was borrowed from Ibsen (as used in A DOLL'S LIFE).

I didn't know Dirty Dancing had been turned into a musical, that's very cool. I've always liked Dirty Dancing, and I think it'd make a good musical.

As there are a number of Australian investors involved with the production, it was decided to use our fair country as the "pre-broadway" try outs.

Juding by the response received so far, this should be on broadway in the not too distant future.

Word on a possible soundtrack release will be out soon. I shall keep you posted!

sideline here ... it appears the link to subscribe to Tony Central at the top of the HHW page does not work ... maybe it is my end (so to speak!)

Evening folks!

Sorry to be late. I had some things to do tonight—Still looking for a couple of warm socks for the trip. Not sure if fleece or wool is the right way to go. I found some fleece socks on a horse riding web site but they are over ten dollars a pair! Yikes! Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you also, DR Jose. I was checking out the sites you listed for the Pocket PC. I have a keyboard that bought off of E-bay when I returned from my last trip. No more peck/peck/peck with that stylus for me when I’m trying to organize my thoughts.

I want a modem for it because they say that Downtown Tampa is going to be a “hot spot” for free internet service if you are set up right. They even mentioned using the Pocket PC. I guess I’ll have to go to Comp USA and ask what I need and ask them how to set it up.

It would be nice to be able to check my e-mails and possibly pop by here on my lunch break.

DR VixMom—Selfish devil, aren’t I?

I went to Half.com to see if I could find any other books in a Sci Fi series that I just started called, Midshipman’s Hope by David Feintuch.

I had bought it and the 2nd book Challenger’s Hope at the book fair awhile back and am greatly enjoying it. I thought it might be a trilogy so I wanted to find the 3rd book. Much to my surprise, there are at least 7 (!) in the series! Half.com had them all so I just bought the 5 that I was missing. I’m sure I’ll read them. Eventually.

DR Ann! I’m so glad to see you posting again! I hope you continue towards a very speedy recovery. I was sorry to read about the job. I’m sure something else even better will come along.

I read an interesting bit of news. Michael Ball is taking over for Michael Crawford in Woman In White until Mr. C recovers from a nasty bit of flu bug. It would almost be my dream come true. That is to see all three of my favorite Michaels on the same stage together. Not likely but one can hope.

Jrand, you will never guess what is up for bid on E-bay. Two, count’em, Joestte’s Music Boxes. Sigh. The Holy Grail of Dark Shadows items. I have the wind up music-(the guts of the music box, if you know what I mean and it DOES play Josette’s theme) but I don’t have the actual whole Music box. Maybe someday……

Hate to post and run but I have a B-day card to make for someone at work and a CD I want to burn. (sheepish smile) I suppose if I have a CD player in Bonnie, I should at least test it to see if it works. I thought a CD of my favorites would be nice.

Have a GREAT evening all!

JMK · « **Reply #248 on:** January 27, 2005, 06:31:08 PM »

BK, another duet possibility and one that should be close to your heart: Julius' Warm. The chromatic stuff that's "built in" would be perfect vocal lines. Maybe you and Sally K.

??

Jrand74 · « **Reply #249 on:** January 27, 2005, 06:48:15 PM »

DRDANISE that is faburoso! Josette's Theme is so pretty! Hope ya win!

And if you go ahead and get the "horse" socks, they will last FOREVER!!!

DRANN - sending vibes of recovery and employment!

Minx Anastasia
January 1999 - January 2005

Minx left us tonight at 7:45 pm. Precisely one week following her 14th Birthday.
She will be remembered and missed greatly.

I remained with her to the end; she went peacefully and painlessly following a long, happy life.
We couldn't have asked for a better pet, friend or companion.

It's been a rough month around here health-wise, hence my conspicuous absences, still I want to thank all the DRs for the wonderful warm thoughts and messages in light of today's grief.

That song was placed in the PHANTOM credits specifically to get him an Oscar nomination. His name fairly guaranteed that the song would be nominated. I'm looking forward to hearing the song from THE POLAR EXPRESS in a more complete version during the Oscaar ceremony. Of the Golden Globe nominees, it was the only one that appealed to me in the little snippet we heard.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #254 on:** January 27, 2005, 07:24:39 PM »

The news about Minx is indeed sad, but she had wonderful companions through her life.

Best wishes from myself, der Brucer, Marty, Mikey, Bonnie, Buster, Fletcher and Zeus.

Matt H. · « **Reply #255 on:** January 27, 2005, 07:24:40 PM »

Oh, DR td, I'm very sorry to read about Minx, but she had a wonderful life, and I'm sure you'll find some comfort in that.

A dear friend of mine had to put one of his labs down last week, and we talked a long time about it being best for her.

thanks for the advice. unfortunately, the link just kept jumping back to the screen. i think it may be a case of this pc playing up ....

Hello TD .....

... condolences for your loss.

bk · « **Reply #259 on:** January 27, 2005, 07:50:20 PM »

Sorry to hear about Minx.

I'm back, and to prove it, I'm here. Jacuzzi is heating up. I couldn't find Bunny Lake is Missing at the few stores I went to - most annoying. But I did find a used copy of a three DVD set of The Best of Johnny Carson - that should be a lot of fun.

Now, might I just ask where in tarnation IS everyone?

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #260 on:** January 27, 2005, 07:57:39 PM »

Got BK on his cell phone down at Amoeba and, since he was on my side of the hill, we decided to rendezvous for an impromptu dinner at Schwab's on Vine and Sunset (or should that be Sunset and Vine? Technically, I think it's just Vine...which is just vine with me). We spoke of shoes and ships and sealing wax and cabbages and kings...and about his new book and tossed around song ideas for the new Guy Haines album...and yes, laughed and laughed until we could laugh no more. At which point, we left...but it might have been the atypical soggy onion rings that prompted our departure. They now sit in the bottom of my belly like so much leaden fish.

BK, here's the list of songs you wanted me to remind you of...

Liza (and Jolson stuff)
I Wish I Didn't Love You So
Ice Castles Theme (Hamlisch)
Far-Away Part of Town
Lazy Days
On Your toes
Sure Thing
Put Me To The Test
How Could Someone Nice Like You, Evie
Roar of Greasepaint...

Yes, the fershluganah onion rings were HORRIBLE - soggy, heavy, and really unappetizing. Of course, we at them all - one simply can't leave onion rings uneaten, but we didn't LIKE them.

I'm quite a fan of impromptu dinners, and I'm glad I had my cell phone on, which is a rare occurance.

bk · « **Reply #264 on:** January 27, 2005, 08:13:21 PM »

And I was VERY good at dinner - I only had a Caesar Salad (plus three onion rings). I was still full from my tuna sandwiches, actually, but the Caesar is so damnably good at Schwab's I just had to have it.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #265 on:** January 27, 2005, 08:14:12 PM »

DR Ann, that stinks. It's one thing to have bad news come to you but when you reach out and get it---Ugh! But this closed window will lead to open doors, I'm sure.

Open a new window
Open a new door

That's never been tried before

I'll have some more Guy Haines news in tomorrow's notes. Now, should I try to watch a little Johnny Carson, or should I try to watch my next Patrice Laconte movie, Ridicule?

Welcome nine GUESTS. We're talkin' about something - what is it? Oh, yes, favorite screenplays.
