Happy Birthday to Mr. Stephen Sondheim, one of our country's greatest national treasures!! I just read in VARIETY that he and James Lapine are taping interviews with PBS to be shown when the PASSION concert with Michael Cerveris and Patti Lupone is broadcast.

Today's wonderful (?) email from the Frances Farmer contingent department:

Thank you for having a page that tells the truth.  Glad the rest was a fiction though because if true it sounded criminal.
 
A labotomy isnt only for christmas ect...
 
Still what about the other poor souls? Who says it was the good old days?
 
Thanks Elaine.


And stop calling me Elaine!!

Conclusive proof astrology is hogwash department:  Stephen Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Yes, yes, I know they were born in different years and different times.  It's a joke, people, a joke.

I almost always order water as my beverage when eating out. What restaurants charge for a glass of anything else is outrageous.

Favorite soft drink is Diet Cheerwine. It is EVER so much more delicious than the cherry flavored drinks that Coke and Pepsi put out. Of course, being someone who tries to save pennies when possible, I buy whatever diet drink is on sale each week. The last three weeks, diet Pepsi in its various brands have been on sale, so that's what I've bought. Pepsi One is my favorite of the Pepsi flavors.

Of the Coke flavors, I love Diet Coke with Lime.

As for alcohol, I like marguritas and Tom Collins and Daiquaris and other mixed drinks. Will drink gin and tonic or vodka/tonic when pressed, but prefer something a bit sweeter. Also started drinking Cosmos when they became a fad on SEX & THE CITY, and I find I like them occasionally.

I want to watch THE BAND WAGON to listen to the Minnelli/Feinstein commentary at some point this week. But I'll probably spend the day watching and then clearing things off the DVR including MEDIUM, DEADWOOD, and CARNIVALE.

Forgot about my love for Bailey's Irish Cream. Boy that stuff can be dangerous. I don't have it often but it's good when I get it. I also like the Godiva liquers and Frangelico.

Some of my favorite drinks include Strawberry Lemonade, Vanilla or Cherry Pepsi (with the real syrup). My dad's family used to have the Pepsi truck come out to the farm so I was born and raised on the stuff. I like it much better than coke. I can't stand Aspathame though so I don't handle diet drinks well. I also enjoy V8 Splash in all it's varieties. (Yes, I am a huge fruit juice fan.) Iced Tea is also big in my family. We make it by the gallon and sometimes there will be three or four gallon cartons of tea in our fridge.

As for alcohol, I am a "good" underage kid and have not had much. Maybe a glass of wine with a fancy dinner, or a glass of champagne on New Years or at a wedding. My cousin did convince me to try a glass of Bacardi and Coke while I was in Ohio for my grandmother's funeral, but I made her make it very weak. I'll be better versed in about a year though when I am of age.

I have a recording of "Point of No Return" on a Gene McDaniels CD, but I wouldn't have a clue of how to send it over the internet.

Passion in Dutch - that's the title of my next novel.

Can Jrand and MattH put their heads together (no mean feat) and figure out how to get me the mp3?

Point of no Return has been sent to me, so I'm fine now.  Floor People have not shown up.  They're a bit flaky and maybe they think they're through.  If they don't show up, they ARE through, because one way or another the rug and my dresser are being moved back tomorrow morning.

Joe and I are alive and well and living at the Marriott Marquis de Sade Hotel in Manhattan.  (The one with the super-high-tech elevators that leave you stranded for an hour, so you can miss your curtain time for a show accross the street.)

Joe is napping, and I slipped over to an Internet Cafe (the first time I've ever used one of these here things) to try to catch up on the posts about our wonderful NY hainesy/kimlet gathering and the Divine Miss O's show.  I'm still only up to Friday's posts, alas and alack, but decided to break my usual rule and cut to the chase.

I will add my own observations about the festivities once I read everyone else's.  But for now...

PennyO:  Remember what Nabokov said.  When you publish a novel, the critics fall all over themselves trying to prove it is autobiographical.  When you write your autobiography, they insist it is all fiction.

Caught BK's close personal friend Dame Edna on Sunday.  As we were in the first row, albeit out on the end, we did not escape entirely unscathed.  She observed that Joe was here with his "grandfather", elderly and highly medicated.  "He doesn't understand what's happening, but he notices the color and the movement," she said, shaking her beaded miniskirt in my direction.

Sunday we dined with DR Jose at Barrymore's, as I assume he has reported.  We had planned to get together once eight years ago when he was in town playing auditions, but he was called suddenly back to Washington.  So this was the Long Expected Partay.

I do not exaggerate when I say that this gentleman is a delightful conversationalist and amazingly modest about his considerable musical talents.

Last night DR and Wussburger Jason joined us at Angus.  It was a treat to finallly meet him and catch up on his life.  He has moved from his famous mouse-infested digs in Brooklyn to a nicer place in Astoria.  Is busy busy busy, and regrets that he could not join our festivities last weekend, but he was ushering at the Met both nights.

More news later. Time to wake up Joe and plan for Hairspray tonight.

When I was about 6, my piano teacher told me I could be another Liberace if only I would practice more.  I stopped playing immediately.  :)
