I didn’t get home until nearly 3 because the health care aide bailed.

Listening to the Dvorak 8th courtesy of Mr. Munch.  Not as good as the ninth.

Annabelle, Thatch, and I were lying on my bed when I heard this huge crash.  I knew Stella was behind it, but I needed to find what she did.  It was my neti pot she managed to drop from the sink ledge into the bathtub where it broke  into a lot of pieces.  I would swear that neither Thatch nor Annabelle ever caused so much damage.

Oh, no!  Hopefully, nothing else was damaged and that it's not too expensive to replace. :-\

For those who are fans, Doctor Atomic is the Tuesday offering from the Met.

Cool!  I have video of two different productions, one on DVD and one on Blu-ray. :)

The AC company will call at 7 a.m. We bought our unit from them about 20 years ago. Hopefully they have one for our size house in stock and can put it in tomorrow.

Today at my parents, we ate and played Phase 10 and had more of my mini cheesecakes for dessert.

I had never read 1984 until a couple of years before the John Hurt movie was released. It blew me away, as did that movie version.

I do have the 1956 DVD here, and either I never watched it all the way through or I’ve simply forgotten most of it. I’ll take it out.

As to stage versions, I believe I’ve only seen the one a local theater did several years ago, and it was more powerful and mind blowing than I ever imagined it could be.

I've read the book, but never seen the movie.  Theater Artists Olympia (I'm still on their board) mounted a stage version just before Aaron Sorkin's version opened on Broadway.


What did Aaron Sorkin have to do with this production?

Nothing.  But when TAO was rehearsing the version that they performed, which was adapted by Michael Gene Sullivan, the Aaron Sorkin Broadway adaptation was making news because he's famous.  We got a lot of questions about if that was the version that TAO was performing, and it wasn't.  pug directed it and she felt that the version that we got was a better adaptation than Aaron Sorkin's.

George asked me why I didn’t quit.  Basically, as a nearly 70 year old, wheelchair bound actor, it is not wise to walk on a production, unless you don’t care if you ever work again.  There are very few opportunities for me to be cast in any production, let alone with a bad rep for walking out of shows.

If IBDB doesn’t list it, then it wasn’t on Broadway.
