I finally figured out what I hate about the new Company sound. It sounds like Muzak. And mediocre Muzak at that.

I don’t know how hard it is to make Sondheim sound bad, but the synths here give it a 1,001 Strings feel that really isn’t alive. It’s background. It’s aural wallpaper. It’s beige.

This new version of Company, like the new all-gay Fantasticks, are two "why the fat hell?" projects and completely unnecessary to my way of thinking. Sometimes the answer to such cockamamie inquiries like "Can we do an all-gay version of Oklahoma!? is No.

It's 95 degrees here in Northern Virginia. The good thing is the humidity is only 34%,

I’m waiting for the all-male version of Inside Out. Heaths instead of Heathers. Waiter (doesn’t that sound depressing?). Mean Boys. Jersey Girls.

Thanks, Kevin! I need to deposit it all into my bank account soon! I also have a gallon glass jug that's about a third filled with loose change. I should also deposit that.

Or a reverse-gender Nine??

Did anyone see the comedy soap opera in the 70s called All That Glitters? It was a world where the genders were reversed. The women ruled the world and the men stayed home and took care of the house. My sister and I can remember watching it when we were kids.

TOD:

My uneducated palate runs to Long John Silver....

However once in 1993, I was in Baltimore with friends on a business trip with the Society of Professional Journalists [I was the assistant to the Executive Director] - and the ED took us to a restaurant he knew.

I had what what called the Ocean Rainbow [I think] with a variety of fish and other seafood delights that I still remember......it was great...and I am not even sure how many types of fish were included along with lobster, mussels, and assorted ocean goodies....

I think the salmon was my favorite, but it is a close call.

Looking online....it may have been the Rusty Scupper in Baltimore.

Just read an appalling review of the all-ladies 1776 coming into Broadway. Sounds like a version for folks who hate the show.

Fish & chips
Grilled or poached salmon
Grilled seabass
Sole in a light sauce, eg, meniere (sp?)

I just bought a portable CD player. I put in a Michael Buble disc. The orchestra sounds great, but Michael sounds muffled. Can any of our HHW audiophiles suggest what might be wrong? The inexpensive headphones that came with it? One of the settings? And what is EQ? Might that be out of balance?

I have no idea how good Bradley Cooper will be playing Leonard Bernstein, but he sure looks like Lenny!

Absolutely amazing!

I usually encourage people to be positive, but in Jrand's case I hope he stays negative.

Stop. Just stop. Stop miscasting things thinking you are doing something new and exciting. Things are classic for a reason.

TOD: My sister took us to a fish place on the beach. Lots of tasty deep fried things.

Here in town, Pete's Fish n Chips is the place.

Laura · « **Reply #85 on:** May 31, 2022, 04:15:19 PM »

I'd been having a craving for fish and chips for quite some time, but I never quite wanted to deal with the weight I'd gain with it. When we were at Disneyland, I got fish and chips in Frontierland, figuring that with walking 30,000 steps for three days I could manage it.

Disappointing.

Laura · « **Reply #86 on:** May 31, 2022, 04:16:35 PM »

Tomorrow is Freedom Day, ya'll!

We have something fun and exciting planned.

I'm doing a version of Nine called Twelve. Radical, I know, but...

Had Taco Bell for lunch - one of them Mexican pizzas. It was okay.
