TOD:

Jackman: I think his hosting gigs on the Tonys let him have more fun than anything else I've seen him in.
Curly in Oklahoma!

Hart: In Tanner '88, Robert Altman's amazing TV series about a fake presidential candidate, Hart appeared in both news clips and playing himself as part of the series. When the scandal hits, the story is woven seamlessly into the script. I remember watching that during its original airing and wondering at the fine line where reality stops and fiction begins. It was great TV.

I met my friends yesterday and took them to Columbia University so they could see some of the locations used in "The Mirror Has Two Faces."  Thanks to my expert subway-navigation skills we ended up quite a distance from the University.  We were going to take the number 1 train but a number 3 express train showed up.  I naively assumed that they took the same route so I suggested we hop on it.  Wrong!    We ended up taking two buses to Columbia.  They were good sports and said they can now say they took a New York City bus.

Great review from Rob Stevens. The show sounds like fun. Wish I could see it.

Juliet and her daughter had plans to go to the Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller Center.  I walked over with them.  I said I guess this is where we say good-bye.  Then they learned that once you're inside the viewing area you're not allowed to leave.  They changed their minds.

We ended going to Patsy's Pizzeria, which is near their hotel.  I have to say the pizza was delicious, especially the crust.

TOD:  I saw The Boy from Oz four times, so I guess that would be my favorite performance of Hugh Jackman.  I don't think he has a great singing voice but he's definitely a great entertainer.

Me, too, DR DRUXY....  And I remember that Tanner series DR JOHN G....it was good.

I guess my problem with a movie on Hart is that it would be TRUE-ISH.....and skewed in one direction or another....I might like a documentary more....not that I would even care to watch that.....for the same reason.

BK (and anyone else in the L.A. area), have you heard about this?

L.A. considers raising speed limits on more than 100 miles of streets.

It's all about the ability to write those tickets - they need the revenue.  I don't believe it has anything to do with safety.

Thursday afternoon greetings!  Rebecca and I had plans to meet for coffee at 9:30 this morning and, of course, at the time I needed to leave we were experiencing the dreaded "wintry mix" of sleet and freezing rain.  We texted back and forth and delayed a bit, meeting at 11am instead and I've recently returned.  We hadn't gotten together since sometime last month, so there was a lot of catching up to do.

Well, I'm leaving work because our building is closed!  Evidently, there's some plumbing/sewer issue just our building and they won't get it done within the hour, so they're closing us down.  We're supposed to get a text tomorrow morning specifying if we can work tomorrow.  Yikes!  Hopefully, it all gets fixed quickly (but not too quickly ;) ).

Be back later (but not too much later, I'm sure).

Back from picking up a couple of packages and a small residual check from the WGA, and a quick stop at McDonald's for reasons I can't quite fathom.  I ate filet o' fish and a cheeseburger - they were fine.

After  many years of telling unbelieving people about a production of West Side Story that played Frank Sennes' Moulin Rouge that I saw, and which featured original stars Chita Rivera and Larry Kert, I now finally have a program from it along with the opening night menu choices.  So, non-believers, you can now kiss my ASS :)  I'll scan it later and put it in tomorrow's notes.  What's really fascinating is how correct I was about WHEN I would have had to have seen it.  The film opened in December of 1961.  This opened in June of 1962 to cash in on the success of the film, and I saw it right out of junior high school at the age of fourteen.  Other members of the film cast were also in it, including Tucker Smith, Gus Trikonis, and David Winters.  It was a very cheap production - I remember the balcony swaying precariously.  Also a band of about twelve, as I recall.  But the dancing was superb - recreated by Chita's then-husband and the film's Action, Tony Mordente.
