FRIED BRAIN, TIRED BACK, AND SOLVING THE RIDDLE
« on: April 24, 2020, 12:11:23 AM »

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fried, tired, and riddled, and now it is time for you to post until the fried, tired, and riddled cows come home.

George asked if I knew there was a musical version of Vanities - I did indeed and, in fact, saw it here at the Pasadena Playhouse.  It was written by friend David Kirshenbaum, who's very talented.

What did you think of it...if you remember?

Yesterday, I went to Subway and bought my sister and myself each a Cauliflower Fritter wrap.  It doesn't seem to be on their website anymore, but you can find articles about them online.  I really like it...it doesn't taste like (or have the texture of) cauliflower.

I wrote a bit more, but have to stop.  Five songs left, so I should be able to finish those in an hour tomorrow.

Hugh Jackman is an at-home guest on The Late Late Show with James Corden.  At times, his son is just wandering around the back of the Hugh's room looking for something. :D

I could not get to sleep last night, and when I finally did, I slept quite poorly.  It was chilly all day yesterday yet the apartment was too warm, for sleeping.

When he moved to NYC after college, he was assistant to the costume designer Jane Greenwood.  He designed the costumes for the Off-Broadway production of Vanities and lived quite well off the rotyalries for some time.

I slept okay but I woke way too early, and there was no going back to sleep.

My main dream was something else. Not really describable. It actually occurred prior to a brief 3:18 a.m. wakeup.

And so it goes.

Huge vibes for TCB's sister.

A friend here, a young man in his thirties who was a major force in our Smorgasbord cast, is diabetic. A couple of weeks after the show closed we were informed that he was in the ICU with ketoacidosis. It took them several days to get him back into balance, and he was sent home, whereupon we subsequently learned that he also struggles with clinical depression and now he's having a rough go at that. Altogether, it ain't no walk in the park.

Last night, I finished the first draft of the latest one-person play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection.

Now, I sit on it for a week, let my wife read it, then I'll look at it again.

We watched ARSENIC AND OLD LACE with Cary Grant last night.

When I interviewed Grant decades ago, he told me that he hated that picture, but I love it.  I think it's timeless; one of the great American comedies.

I've sen it twice on stage:

1. In Seattle at the old Cirque Playhouse with Jane Darwell.
2. On Broadway with my late publicity client, Abe Viigoda.

So what are in my players, you ask.

THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE is in line for this evening's viewing. Beyond that, who can say? I don't know about you, but I certainly cannot say.
