"Art For Art's Sake" - a 10CC reference for the Pop music inclined.
TCB: "Death In Venice" is possible my favourite movie of all time with my favourite actor and what wonderful music. Here's to Mahler.

NICE painting, BK!

I'm sure it looks like Emily when she was than age -- last month, that is!!

Well, the good "thing"; no one can take karma away from me, but then no one can add karma either!

Oh well, who cares!!

Great painting, BK.  I imagine you didn't get it for the minimum bid.

Karma 13 Post 97. I don't think that was "A Chorus Line" reference.

I hope all these posts are indeed making you feel better BK. You have celebrations to organise for Sunday. Has anyone found a way to download chocolate or at least cheese and ham.

Good evening fellow Dear Readers. I'm afraid I have nothing of interest to say today. So I guess you could say today is just like any other. I believe Brigadoon is in the cd player (everything else is packed). No vcr or dvd players.

I shall be absent from the festivities on Sunday night. Big event at the church I must work on.

I'm sure your church thing will keep you busy every minute of every hour all day.  Not.  I should think you will want to at least drop in and say hello, that is what I should think.

Francois - I see your karma points and you most certainly can get karma - what exactly is your question?

DVD player:  The 4th season of the Sopranos

VCR:  Two for the Road (which I hadn't seen in years)

CD player: Stephen Schwartz's "Uncharted Territory"

and a CD of  the Sondheim program DR MusicGuy did a week or so ago with some very gifted performers in the Chicago area (Trevor Loren and Scott Thomas among them).  I am STILL waiting for the video of said program.  I just MAY have to have words.

SUGAR is doing very well and is very loving  AND is asserting herself a little more now.  I see we have training in store (all three of us).

No, it's ok BK. I guess I'm becoming senile! It makes sense, 'cause one could give oneself karma!!

It's been a long -- and chilly! Sorry Emily! -- night!
6:30 am here, to be exact!

GET WELL SOON, BK!

Good to hear that Sugar is settling in well. A  Sondheim collection by MusicGuy - will it retail. We have a Wurltizer organisation (or whatever the appreciation society is called) not far from here AND they sell Cds of a certain Mr Larson!
DR Laura: Priorities. The church can not expect you for the whole 24 hours.

LOST: I lost all my email addresses but thought I would get most back quite easily from HHW. I have just realised that DR "Sigerson Holmes" has not signed on to the new format. If you indeed "lurk" out there please come in from the cold.

Oh, what a malaise!

Made a boo boo AGAIN!

Come In From the Rain!!!!

Well, hello there
     Good old friend of mine
     You've been reaching for yourself
     For such a long time
     There's so much to say
     No need to explain
     Just an open door for you
     To come in from the rain
     It's a long road
     When you're all alone
     And someone like you
     Will always through a long way home
     There's no right or wrong
     I'm not here to blame
     I just want to be the one
     Who keep you from the rain
     From the rain
     And it looks like some disguise
     Now that I know you're alright
     Time has left us older
     Wiser, I know I am
     'Cause I think of us
     Like an old cliche
     But it doesn't matter
     'Cause I love you anyway
     Coming from the rain
     And it looks like some disguise
     Now that I know you're alright
     Time has left us older
     But Wiser, I know I am
     And it's good to know
     My best friend has come home again
     'Cause I think of us
     Like an old cliche
     But it doesn't matter
     'Cause I love you anyway
     Coming from the rain
     Come in from the rain
     Come in from the rain

Time for a post from JED!

Ask and ye shall receive, Tom!  I'm here to join the late shift with my Washingtonian comrades.  I believe DR Ann had a choir concert of some sort tonight, so that's why she's currently among the E&T.

Media report...
DVD: Sondheim - Celebration at Carnegie Hall
VHS: This week's The West Wing
CD:  Putting It Together (Manhattan Theatre Club), She Loves Me (OBC), Billy Joel - Fantasies and Delusions

Fashion report...
Light grey sweatshirt, dark grey sweatpants, maroon socks

Ron--LOL!  I didn't even know there was a difference in the pronunciations of ferry and fairy until a few years ago!

I didn't know until reading today's posts!!!  I've always pronounced them the same, as does everybody I've heard say either word here around the Northwest.  What the heck is the difference in their pronunciations?

Thanks Jed. I guess we will have to cope without DR Ann as she sings for her supper. I would have to starve if it were my only option. TCB has no doubt gone in search of sustenance too.

François: It is indeed a beautiful song.
DR Jed: Accents! No-one would ever confuse the two words in Australia. (You know the South western part of Washington State across that big lake).

I must say I'm fascinated to learn that "ferry" and "fairy" are actually pronounced differently!  A casualty of my Northwestern US accent, I guess.  But really Tom, if you want to pass yourself off as a Washingtonian, you must learn to make no distinction whatsoever between the two words.  :D

Hey everyone!  Sorry to be posting so late but I just got home!  

Tom--I too enjoyed Blythe Danner in the Follies revival.  I mean, from what I've read, it was nothing to the original production or even the Paper Mill revival, but I loved the score even before seeing it and it was thrilling to see a production of it.  Especially with so many great golden age stars in the supporting roles!

Charles--thanks for the info on NKU!  I will definitely be looking into it!  :D

LC--We did used to have KaZaA Lite, but I've also been afraid to use that ever since I heard it's illegal to have it (as opposed to merely downloading songs it that makes any sense).  Maybe when all the pirating frenzy dies down, I'll go back to downloading music.  Arrrrgh.  ;)

Goodnight!

Now to practise: There are ferries at the bottom of my garden. I shall catch a fairy to the other shore.  Gerry & the Pacemakers sang "Fairy 'cross The Mersey" and No-one loves a ferry when she's forty. fortunately I am way past 40 so I have chanced of being loved. Thanks for the advice Jed. I shall practise practise practise until those cows of BK's come home. Are merry and Mary pronounced the same way?

I wonder Maya what people would have thought of "Follies" had they not seen the orginal. The memory plays tricks (a "The Happy Time" reference) and there was certainly not the financial excesses of the 70's to splash on the show we saw and enjoyed.
