Last night, DR TCB asked: "MattH, I know it isn't Ask BK Day, so I will ask you instead. I am curious about your Cagelles in your production of La Cage. Are you using all men, a mixture of men and women, and if only men, are they gay or straight men?"

We have a mixture of men and women. The men are all gay. According to the director, he's hopefully adding two more Cagelles to the group to make 8. But I'm not sure that's going to happen. I know the two he wants, and they're not known for following through with promises. (4 men, two women thus far).

DR George, I would double check your check register against your statements, and itself. Sometimes an 8 can be mistaken for a 3, and vice versa. That might be what set you off by 50 cents. (In currency, not the currently popular rap/hip-hop artist.)

I dislike intensely (for I try not to say hate) when my check register does not balance.

They actually had their first live audience on Wednesday night, when they had their final dress rehearsal they allowed the local senior citizen groups to come in and watch the show for free.

I really like this, and several theaters where I have appeared do this for final dress.

However, the theater where I'm doing LA CAGE (and earlier TITANIC and NUNCRACKERS) doesn't do this, and I wish they would.

Yes, I saw that those were playing, but I was recording BERSERK this morning at the same time and couldn't get both. I'll wait for the Dresslers to come around another time.

After seeng snippets of George Bush's press conference last night, I only want to observe that the rest of the world must be feeling pretty smug about the USA right now since it's quite clear that nothing has changed relative to Washington's inability to pronounce the names of heads of state.

Vladuhmer Pootin', indeed!

How the world must laugh at us!

I am remiss.

Oh, yes, I am remiss.

I fully intended to comment upon yesterday's word of the day.

"Scuttlebutt" is a great Navy term. A "scuttlebutt" is a water fountain. Because of this, and what people do while hanging around water fountains, the Navy terminology for "rumor" or "gossip" is also "scuttlebutt."

All day long, yesterday, I kept reminding myself about the word of the day. I knew I had something to say. But every time I tried to recall the word, it would first come to me as "Hucklebuck." As in "Do the..."

And Georgia Gibbs wasn't anywhere in sight.

Terribly odd, that. Not once in my 23 1/2 years of Navy service did I ever do the hucklebuck. Nay, I don't think my memory even allowed it to surface...until yesterday.

DR Jane, yes the restaurant I linked to yesterday is the one I go to for ribs. They make the best ribs in town!

Good voice vibes to BK and Guy Haines. ~~~~~~~~~

Very happy about last night's Apprentice! (2 women in the F3, yeah!).

Very unhappy about who got booted off Survivor.

DR Jose, were you talking about Quebec City (and not Montreal) when you mentioned the Fete de Neige?

BK, re: wed's ALIAS (don't read below if you did not watch yet) ...

What I thought was weird about this episode was that it was the first time I can remember that Sydney (Jennifer Garner) did not go out on a case. But i was surprised at the identity of Sophia (I wasn't surprised that she wasn't who we thought she was, but I was surprised she was Irina's sister, if that makes any sense).

Oh and happy birthday to the Vixter!!!!

Good Morning!

Whew! I somehow slept slept through my radio-alarm this morning - well, just the radio, none of that pesky alarm buzzer for me, No! - and when I opened my eyes for the first time this morning, it was already 9:50. I usually open my eyes sometime around 7:30 and/or 8:00 - yes, I do stay in bed after opening my eyes, but I do open them. In any case, I am feeling a bit tired this morning. I guess it was all the lifting and shifting and moving of the boxes yesterday. -Right before I went to bed last night, I looked around my bedroom and realized just how stuff I moved over last night. I have floor space!!!

Today's plan - after I finish waking up - is to get the kitchen packed up, all my knick-knacks wrapped and boxed, and wrap my CD towers up in the green plastic wrap stuff I love so much. And then I shall by 90% ready for the moving van on Sunday. I was thinking of heading to see a play tonight in today, but I really want to get as much as possible done today so that I can take tomorrow off. -Since I was "given" the extra day due to the U-Haul availability, I might as well take it as a gift of sorts.

There are a bunch of "very Richmond" events going on tomorrow, and I'd like to attend a couple of them. If I happen to make great progress this afternoon, I may go ahead and see the play tonight, but I have the feeling that once I'm sitting in a dark theatre for about 15 minutes, I may come down with a case of the "nods". The "nods", not "nodes" which are entirely different things. Although I guess one could have the "nods" and the "nodes" at the same time.

What the !@#$%&!!!???

In any case...

Good morning!

DR Jennifer - Oh, you're right.. Montreal, Quebec... It's all "north" to me.

But isn't part of Fete de Neige held in other parts of Montreal? Or is the big Spring Festival held in Montreal? Or do I just have too much dust in my head right now.

I, too, thought that the Joel Grey plotline total omission seemed odd, but I liked the twist at the end and though not quite a total surprise (I thought that necklace she gave her was suspicious), it was still kind of good setting up this for Lena Olin's return.

Good morning, DRJOSE!

Happy Birthday to the Vixter - and remember first star on the right and straight on till morning. I played Mr Darling in a production and I loved singing the "I Will Grow Up" reprise. I decided that Mr Darling was one of the original Lost Boys who decided to come back and that is why Peter REALLY came to their house that night!

BERSERK! is one of my favorite words.....and the movie has Joan AND Ty Hardin. Whew! It also has the SAME circus as the one in CIRCUS OF HORRORS! Oh, and Judy Geeson as well.... Remember all those English birds from the mid-60's?

DRMBARNUM I watched two of the Dressler-Moran films this morning, and I laughed OUT LOUD MANY MANY TIMES. Both of those women are hilarious - Dressler has the edge, but Polly Moran gives her a run for the money.

"Who is that?"
"That's my husband. Why?"
"Well he just had a peculiar expression on his face."
"Where did you expect him to have it?"

And then of course there is the little boy who gets his foot stuck in a cuspidor in Grand Central Station......
