Well, you've read the notes, you are now wading your way through nine hundred plus postings, and when you are caught up (like Ann) then it will be time for you to post until the cows come home from breaking their own records.

And the word of the day is: LUGUBRIOUS!

And lest you think I've forgotten: I've put all the suggested titles for this past Saturday's notes into our Electronic Hat and said Electronic Hat has chosen a winner. That winner is dear reader Laura. Her title: Isocrates' Ideas About Arete in Rhetoric. That is a fine title. I thank everyone for their excellent titles, but our Electronic Hat has spoken and dear reader Laura shall receive a sparkling prize if she sends me her address.

Has Ann caught up?

I, myself, will try to toddle off to the bedroom environment by twelve-thirty.

And might I just add - LUGUBRIOUS!

I wish we could have photographs of all the errant and truant when they log on in the morning.

I found the Oscar show last night rather LUGUBRIOUS.

I really can't think of a dessert I've ever had that was to die for...I'm happy with a good piece of coconut cream pie slathered in whipped cream (as opposed to meringue) from the House of Pies. After that, a good chocolate eclair makes me very happy. I will rack my brain overnight, but I don't really remember a dessert I've never forgotten...or I would remember it, wouldn't I?

Ann · « **Reply #7 on:** February 28, 2005, 12:27:06 AM »

I'll have to think about desserts and post on it tomorrow.

Bedtime will be soon

I hate to do it, but (bills be damned) I'm going to bed, also.

It was a momentous moment (a Jekyll & Hyde reference), but one that at least for me, must come to an end. Good night, all!

I am up a little earlier this morning.

But I stand corrected about the original book cover for Diary of a Mad Playwright. The picture of James Kirkwood in a straightjacket is actually a photo near the end of the book. I love this book and go back and reread it every now and then.

Some other dishy backstage books the Making of No No Nanette. The second best backstage book.

There is the Whorehouse Papers about The Best Little Whorehouse by Larry L King one of the writers. He has a rather crude write style that detracts from making the book a complete pleasure to read.

There is also The Making of Fiddler on the Roof. Not as dishy as the first two books, but some how I had the feeling it was a publicity book to coincide with the release of the movie as they talk a lot about the film.

Also DR S Woody wrote earlier this morning:

And now for something completely different...

While at the grocery store, der Brucer and I were greeted by Rob, who used to be the manager of Cafe Zeus here in RB. Rob has been away for about eight weeks, attending (get this) Butler school somewhere in Colorado.

It turns out that he not only topped his class, but he topped every class the school has had since it opened nearly thirty years ago!

Well it is too early to be up, but all I could think that this man is a slut.

Michael · « **Reply #11 on:** February 28, 2005, 02:45:56 AM »

My favorite dessert?

I am sure it was a combination of ice cream, chocolate and cake.

Hisaka · « **Reply #12 on:** February 28, 2005, 03:31:29 AM »

I’m so sorry I missed the Oscar live program this morning for many reasons. So I’ll see it that I recorded on hard-disc, by myself…

reading all the yesterday’s 915 posts broken records, by myself. $:-\$

Hisaka · « **Reply #13 on:** February 28, 2005, 03:31:58 AM »

DR LAURA: Congratulations on your winning !

Hisaka · « **Reply #14 on:** February 28, 2005, 03:34:59 AM »

And
Congratulations to one and all, especially to dear BK, on 10,000posts!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 28, 2005, 03:36:40 AM »

Congratulations to all at HHW and MR BK on yesterday's accomplishment. And thanks to DR RODZINSKI for the compliment.

I am not dismissing Jamie Foxx as a lightweight, DR CP - I think he is a boor. Hopefully he will use his Oscar win to get good parts, those that are available. He is a better actor than Will Smith - so maybe....I wish him all the best, not that that matters.

I LOVE THE IRON GIANT!!!

Dessert. Hmmmmmm....not much for fancy desserts. I think a nice piece of cake with ice cream is THE MOST, man!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 28, 2005, 03:37:13 AM »

Congratulations on your sparkling prize, DR LAURA.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #17 on:** February 28, 2005, 05:20:59 AM »

How exciting to win the sparkling prize! My first sparkling prize ever!

And congratulations on your great achievement yesterday. And you did it without my help. Of course, I had nothing to say about the Oscars awards, so I couldn't have helped anyway.

Good morning, all! I ate too much party food last night at the party and the indigestion gave me a dreadful night of sleep. Today I wade through "The Small House of Uncle Thomas," talk about music theory in "Shall We Dance?," and close the books on THE KING & I.

The most intricate dessert I ever made was in graduate school, a baked Alaska, which turned out so magnificently that it became a staple at several cast parties: devil's food cake, vanilla ice cream, and I flavored the meringue with almond and sometimes kirsch.

Ben · « **Reply #19 on:** February 28, 2005, 05:44:17 AM »

I, too, found last night's presentation LUGUBRIOUS!

I did, though, go through every single post from yesterday. I picked up at page 6 which is the last post I made and I just finished reading the 900plus posts now.

I'll have to think about desserts.

I'm seeing Spamalot tomorrow and All Shook Up on Wednesday. From movies to theatre. The world goes on.

I must get back to work since I spent so much time reading yesterday's posts.

Later.

Good morning, all.

I agree that the awards show, itself, was no great shakes. But I found myself smiling and so happy during most of it. I admired the beautiful clothes, and Clint looked so great. I knew there would be some flack of some sort when Chris Rock dissed Jude Law... and here came The Enforcer, himself, in Sean Penn... Could have done without the "Bash the Prez for the Lefties" stuff, when there is so much more to talk about at a WAAAYYYY expensive celebration of ART. But I watched every moment, trying soemtimes not to smile and crease the rapidly-creasing face... my foodstuffs for the evening were cucumbers, tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, low fat dressing...

Hey!! Go to theatremania.com and click on Peter Filichia's column!!! I woke up at 5:30 this morning to check it out! Huzzah!

Wow, that party last night on HHW just about wore me out! But what fun!!

And yes, JRand54 had me in stiches a couple of times! LOL!

My copy of Bambi should arrive any day now! I cannot wait to watch it with my little grandneice Taylor, who, by the way, will turn 3 years old next month!

Hisaka · « **Reply #23 on:** February 28, 2005, 06:49:17 AM »

It’s for you DR MBarnum.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 28, 2005, 07:10:07 AM »

MBARNUM - DR RODZINSKI reposted the link to Arch's CD!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #25 on:** February 28, 2005, 07:15:07 AM »

DR PENNYO - great column! Watch out for the mice!

MBarnum · « **Reply #26 on:** February 28, 2005, 07:16:53 AM »

DR Hisaka, thank you VERY much for the Akira picture!!

I should be receiving one of his CDs very soon...I will be most curious to see what his singing style is...I am guessing he was a pop singer. I also look forward to seeing some more of his films.

MBarnum · « **Reply #27 on:** February 28, 2005, 07:18:10 AM »

JRand and Rodzinski, I may get that Archa Hall Jr. Cd...I have WILD GUITAR on DVD but have not watched it. I will watch that one and also re-watch EAGAH again and determin if I would enjoy his CD or not.

MBarnum · « **Reply #28 on:** February 28, 2005, 07:20:31 AM »

Does anyone remember the old B-movie THE FLESH EATERS from the early 60s? It is finally coming to DVD...with commentary by the screenwriter.

Of course 3 of the main cast members are now dead, but Barbara Wilkins is still around...would love to find her!

Matt H. · « **Reply #29 on:** February 28, 2005, 07:42:06 AM »

My comments about Jamie Foxx were comparing what talent he portrayed a few years ago (limited). RAY clearly offered him something more substantial to play. Future roles will let us see if it was a fluke or the sign of things to come.

Certainly not many people watching Sally Field in GIDGET could have ever believed she would develop into a wonderful dramatic actress, but she did.

I guess it could also happen to Foxx. I wish him the best.
