Over the last year I have been reading about the popularity of lofts in downtown LA. Nothing to do with the Hollywood crowd, just they are becoming popular for those working in the city who prefer not to have a long commute to work. Downtown LA is making a come-back. $:-\$

Bryan lives in a loft in Portland. They are becoming more and more popular in cities across the country and in Canada.

BK, if Young Hollywood makes you want to vomit, be wary of getting into business with him...whether he can deliver or not. I just feel if you get a bad vibe off people, you should heed it. You have also had experience in this realm before and thus should be circumspect.

Back in 1965 -- some of you might not have been born then! -- the New Christie Minstrels, along with Gene Kelly, guest starred in the very first Julie Andrews Special!

"One Little Christie Plunking On A Banjo.
One Little Christie Plunking Out A Tune......"

"Today" is also one of my favourite songs. I do like the John Davidson version of it....
That would be a swell one to sing for Mr Haines, I think!

This is not what I was talking about earlier, but this is also something new I am working on.

I loved the movie A MIGHTY WIND especially the songs the various groups sung. Loved them, their tunefulness, and the innocence of the three wholesome groups that was just so corny and wonderful. That's a DVD I need to pull off the shelf and watch again soon.

(However, I still think BEST IN SHOW is the best of Guest's satires.)

I'm sad for ENTERPRISE to be ending as well, DR George, but I can't say I was very taken with their finale. Having those two NEXT GENERATION players robbed it of any tension since they TOLD us who lived and died during the mission, and then we just watched it happening. There were some nice, nostalgic moments. Who knew Hoshi had a little crush on Tripp when I thought Archer was her object of admiration?

Still, not the memorable send-off I was hoping for.

I like RANCHO NOTORIOUS. Supposedly, Lang wanted Marlene to get dirtier and less attractive as the film ran, but Marlene fought him every step of the way making sure that she looked stunning even in her death scene.

Good Evening!

Finally had some dinner - Afghan - lamb kabobs, bread and chickpea curry. Yummy! -Strangely enough, the place I went to run out of rice - ?!?!?! But the extra bread and salad was nice. -And the bread was really good tonight too.

And that's about it so far...

Can't say I was much taken with NUMBERS' season finale tonight. Hirsch again inserted into a scene needlessly to harp on Rob Morrow not being at home enough. I'm surprised he didn't nudge both sons into asking the women they worked with on dates - the policewoman for Charlie and the doctor for Rob (can't think of his character's name). The math seemed less intrinsic to the story tonight, too.

(I did enjoy Charlie's lesson in the math-for-dummies sequence.)

Well we are back from the theatre

It was Mr. Vixmom's night out with the gaming crew so I tokk the Vixter and her frined Emily to see Ten Little Indians. Neither of them had seen it before and a friend of mine is playing the policeman.

We were given fifth row center seats unfortunatly directly behind the row of blue haired ladies who were acting as each others hearing aids and memory aids. Fortunately, as the tendsion mounted on stage they settled down.

The English accents were a bit forced, but the sets, costumes, lighting and the acting were wonderful.

The girls were mesmerized, screamed at the gunshots, and the Vixter had actually covered her head and curled into a little ball in the final showdown, I had to force her to look up so she wouldn't miss the suprise ending.

Afterwards we went backstage where both girls were relieved to see the dead and the killers as regular people and the actors were all quite pleased at the admiration for their performance.

A wonderful evening all told.

I remember that Julie Andrews special very, very well, and was SO disappointed she lost the Emmy to a Bob Hope Christmas special that year. (The show did win Best Direction.)

Does any DR out there know what format Sprint "saves" their picture-phone photos in? They seem to have a ".zi" extension, but that's not compatible with anything.

I auditioned for a local production of TEN LITTLE INDIANS a couple of year ago (wanted the doctor or the detective), but I wasn't cast. Nice thing about the show is that for men there are parts for all ages.

Speaking of parts, Matt are you keepimg your goatee for Georges? I have always though of him as cleanshaven despite Robin Williams

sorry, don't have sprint, and besides I am technically challenged

vixmom · « **Reply #257 on:** May 13, 2005, 08:38:37 PM »

Now I think of it, didn't the original actor in the french version have a moustache? Hmmm I wonder why I think of him as cleanshaven......

vixmom · « **Reply #258 on:** May 13, 2005, 08:39:30 PM »

Will there be a video of your production? If yes, will you be sharing them?

vixmom · « **Reply #259 on:** May 13, 2005, 08:44:05 PM »

I told the director I'd do whatever he wanted. He elected to keep the look saying I looked more Continental with it. I have always trusted the director in regard to facial hair. When the show is over, however, I suspect I will go back to the mustache only.

They are usually recorded, but I reserve the right to withhold sharing the video if the show turns out not to my liking. As of last night, I think we'd have to PAY an audience to come see it. Unlike NUNCRACKERS (at the same theater which was a joy to put together), this has been a very frustrating production.

OOH! Are you sharing the video of Nuncrackers? Iwould love to see it and would send it back when I was done if you wouldn't mind letting me have a look.

I hope that with your new "son" things will take a turn for the better in this production

I have always envied men the ability to totally transform their look by the growing or shaving of facial hair its much harder and much leess temporary when a women tries a new look

Mr. Vixmom, while generally sporting facial hair of some type or another (we were married over two years before I saw him clean shaven) wanders betweena beard of various lengths depencding on his mmod and the weather, mutton chops (the current look) or a moustache, my brother Bob goes fom cleanshaven to goetee to beard to moustache and back again

Not that I am having whisker envy you understand (great, I'll wake up with a chinful of 'em now!

) just the ability you have to change your look so easliy

Hmm....

I was wondering why I was feeling so tired already, and then I remembered that I've been up since 7:00AM - instead of 10:30am or Noon, so...

But I'll stick it out for a little bit more...
