As for the Tony Nominations...

Looks good to me.

-I'm just trying to think back to the other Lead Actress In A Musical possibilities. Lots of featured actresses, but the other Lead Actresses were in not so stellar shows, so... I sense that if the nominating committee could have put someone else on the ballot other than Christina Applegate, then they would have. -Which, of course, is not necessarily a good thing.

However...

It was soooooooo nice seeing the names of a few friends on the list. Phone calls have and will be made.

Ah, it appears that I'll be seeing and hearing Patty Griffin tonight at the 9:30 Club. Doors open at 7:30, and there's an opening act or two. According to the clubs FAQ - which is very funny, in fact - the headliner could go on around 10:00... or not. So... Plus, it's a Standing Room type of arrangement. No seats. So... Hmmm...

I'm sure I'll have a good time. As long as I remember to wear my comfortable shoes.

Ah.... Charanga Cakewalk will be the opening act. Hmmm... Guess I should Google....

Danielle Crittenden

D.C. vs. Hollywood
Years ago, I worked as a typist in Hollywood. Perhaps the most valuable lesson I learned from that experience was that you must always use Courier New 10 pt.font in any written document addressed to what I came to call Important Industry Types (IITs). If a script were not in Courier New, with all the tabs and spacings correctly set on the page, the IIT would not even look at it. It could be “Ben Hur,” it wouldn’t matter. “Don’t bring me this crap,” he’d say before hurling it across the room.

Woud BK, Panni, and the Pogue agree?

William F. Orr, I would not agree. I use 12-point courier (I think it's courier, it might be New Roman) and have used elite, I believe (I'm always a little hazy on the font...it's whatever can get me the most on a page and still be read). I also used to bleed the margins like crazy...something that's a little harder to do with these screenplay programs which I've now started using...but I think they also have features to squeeze more on a line.

LOL!

Just semi-watching "The Bold & The Beautiful".... They did one of those montages where the couple in love is exploring some city... Well, I looked up for a second and thought the locale looked familiar... And it was! The Grove. Of course, with all the editing and cross-cutting, they made it seem like they were in some major shopping district - good use of the trolley... In any case...

It made me laugh.

Actually DR RLP - Miss Hayes was an accomplished pianist who played a Beethoven sonata as her talent in the Miss America Contest of 1949. Among her other favorite composers were Chopin and Edward MacDowell.

I always use Courier New 12 pt. I've never heard of using anything smaller than 12 pt. but maybe Final Draft automatically does 10 pt.

Well, I can now say that one of the two recording projects which have been in the ether is definitely happening. I'll record it while I'm in NY doing Kerry's duet, on the following day. All I can say for now is that it is a musical done off-Broadway not so long ago. That means I shall have two things to release for Kritzerland's debut - hoping that a third one comes along in the next few weeks.

Well, DR Pogue and DW BK, that is certainly a relief. I am a Times New Roman 12 pt. man, and I was afraid I might get arrested or something.

I watch The Young and the Restless now and then....once or twice a year, just to see some familiar faces. But today I watched a few minutes of several of the popular soap operas on NBC and ABC.

I do not know which is the worst: The Writing or The Acting...awful. Just awful. All BIG moments and all the WRONG choices.....terrible.

Back in the days of actual typewriters and before computers and word processing programs (and the word "font," from what I remember), the number of the size was inversely proportional to the actual size. In other words (a Guys and Dolls reference), size 10 (also known as "pica") was actually larger than size 12 (also known as "elite"). The number referred to the number of characters per inch, so 12 characters per inch is a smaller size than 10 characters per inch.

And that's what I remember from 3 years of typing in high school...20 years ago!

That's what I find for an actual ad for an actual typewriter at this site. Who knew they still made them?

I too have a splitting headache. It's called my IAAAAWWOTD paper. Out of twelve pages, I'm guessing I have about two and a half. I haven't typed it out yet, so I don't know. I just hope I have twelve pages by tomorrow or I am TOAST.

After being forced to read all sorts of smut for school, the funny stuff I like to read for myself is mostly geared toward the ten-to-twelve age group. It's clean and I don't have to write twelve-page papers on it. Books by Gordon Korman are hillarious. Radio Fifth Grade had Cherry Coke coming out of my nose.

OK, break's over. Back to work!

I watched MEDIUM while cooking my dinner. The dreams were interesting, and the villain she was facing unique (all to the good), but I thought her resolution with the demon was just too pat, too easy. I didn't feel satisfied at the end.
