DR vixmom - You asked a few days ago about The Kite Runner.  My book group did read it in March and I'm pretty sure Jane has read it, too.  It was Cincinnati's choice for the spring 2005 On the Same Page program.  We'll talk next week!

RETOUR DE MARTIN GUERRE (not fond of what was musicalized, though)

I watched this!  I taped it off of TV several years ago when it was broadcast (on PBS I think) in its original aspect ratio...it's barely widescreen, but it's definitely not full frame.

[Matt H.]

I also enjoyed DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES very much.  

DISCUSSION OF LAST NIGHT's SHOW:






Interesting that Mary Alice is still the narrator.  I was not sure if they would change that.

Also, who was that locked up at the end?  The husband?

COntinued discussion















I'm sure that's not Alfre's son living with her. Did you see how she was playing with his chest! No way! A lover or maybe HE's the husband, and we're being misdirected.

I thought about the white man being Paul Young, and I'll keep that door open until a few more clues are provided.

As I said last night, I think Marc Cherry has lived up to his incredible first season on the show keeping it lively, interesting, very funny, but also intriguing.

[George]

Of course, Rosie fronted the entire $10-14 million for TABOO, I believe.

$1 million is pretty much chicken feed in producing a musical these days.

So, is Oprah an actual hands-on working producer?  Will she really be involved with making decisions on what happens during the production...or is she just an investor??

[Matt H.]

One of the great things about DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES is that in addition to the continuing storylines we saw last night, we still have the stories from the gay neighbor Justin, Harriet Sansom Harris' character, Rogert Bart's George character, all of whom play into the story.

And the addition of Shirley Knight and the very handsome Richard Burgi becoming a regular as Teri Hatcher's ex-husband beginning an affair with Evie, well, the show can't help staying as good as the first season.

[Jason]

I saw Shirley Knight the other evening waiting outside a restaurant on 9th Avenue. I can only assume she was waiting for her daughter, Katilin Hopkins, who is currently starring the THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAILER PARK MUSICAL.

DRJane has indeed read it, and she sent me a copy while I was convalescing.  Wonderful book, but I found it quite painful.  Sent me back to Patrick Dennis with a new appreciation.

[vixmom]

Good morning, all!  I'm later than usual today because my father and I made the trek to my mother's grave.  We had a lovely visit, he cried, I said a prayer, and we left.  I'm now ensconced at the library for a couple of hours.

Yesterday was the big fish fry, which was a pleasant family gathering.  Lasf night, I stayed in and watched LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT and FINDING JORDAN.

This evening is my dinner with DRGinny and Richard.  Tomorrow, Miami University, Wednesday a fast run to CD Connection for used CDs and DVDs, laundry, and the Dayton airport.  I will stop in tomorrow morning before I go to Oxford.

 have you solved the mystery of the "What is it Fish?" yet?

[Dan (the Man)]

Wouldn't it be interesting if THE COLOR PURPLE musical becomes a hit and is made into a movie with Oprah once again taking the role of Sofia?

I just wanted to reach out and slap the narrator towards the end... OF COURSE that's the decision you have to make how can it not be obvious to you!!!!

[George]

HOW COULD I FORGET STAVISKY?  The score is by Stephen Sondheim!

[vixmom]

I listende to this on Books on Tape, an unabridged verson, read by the author.  I foound myself yelling back at the tape player and sometimes just shutting it off and advising it, that's enough from you right now.    But I had to see what would happen next and it would come back on

have lovely visit with Ginny & Hubby

 have you solved the mystery of the "What is it Fish?" yet?

My friend Alan Freeman told me last night that he found a fish in his yard, so he no longer believes I carried them to his neighborhood.  His supposition is that one of the tropical storms or tornadoes scooped up a bit of small fish and flung them high into the air from which they are now falling.  I still think it's an alien invasion.

[Matt H.]

Have we ever heard Oprah sing? Of course, they could always use a dubber. They used a dubber in the original film for Shug/Margaret Avery, so I guess they could for Oprah.

[Ginny]

DR Ben - I'd read about Silk Stockings and considered trying for next Monday, but decided to remain available for Splash instead.  Have you heard anything about Walking Down Broadway?

[vixmom]

Currently from the BOT library, The DaVinci Code.  I decided to  finally find out what all the hoopla is about.

[elmore3003]

All right.  I've done enough damage for a bit.  I will go and post some letters, continue my sleuthing on the neighbor lady and the bodybuilder, have a bit of lunch and return.

[Jason]

We've moved on from the nose-picking and bagel-eating to a Granny Smith apple.

Smack smack!

[Jason]

"The Kite Runner" is a must-read, huh? Should I check it out?

[vixmom]

It is a painful, revealing story, with some terrible imagery, told in the first person (the person I wanted to slap several times during his telling of the story) but overall it is a good read (or listen in my case)

...I think I'll just wait for the musical version of it.

I'm geting nervous about the walking/eating tour. I shall have farina at every stop and the Vixter will be banned from eating anything at all!

Big finishing number at the end of Act I

"The Day the Taliban Came"

[Ron Pulliam]

Well, here it is already -- "the day after tomorrow" I've been dreading since Saturday morning.

Sigh.

Oh, well...there'll always be another weekend in the future....and on and on and on...

[vixmom]

BTW... I sent in my questionnaire Jose.  My goodness but  you have given yourself alot of work to do tallying all the results of all those questions.

I very much appreciate all the work you are putting into this event

How is your head feeling today?  

and on an entirely different subject, will you be meeting up with Hisaka on her trip to CA?

I know you are in CA but I cannot remember whereabouts you are located.

[JoseSPiano]

Good Afternoon!

And it really is a very good afternoon so far.  The mailman - or mailmistress as it were - brought me some goodies.  Well, one goody, but it was some goodie$.  -I have to say, when those corporate banks have a computer glitch, they really do work fast to make amends!  HOO and RAY!  So...

I need to head off to the post office to drop off some things, and then I need to see if I can drop into a Lenscrafters or some place like that to see if they can adjust my eyeglasses.  I've got them back into some semblance of their original shape, but they tend to drift down and to the right...  I can deal with it, but with three days of auditions coming up, I'd like to take care of this annoyance, minor as it may be.

[bk]

I'm sitting here like so much fish, and must now pack up some CDs.

[JoseSPiano]

I will be errant and truant for the next couple of hours since I'll be heading to the movies and then dinner with a friend of mine.  In other words, I have a date.  

*Alas, the true reason for wanting to get my eyeglasses fixed has been revealed.



So...

Laters...

There really isn't that much to tally.  The big question I was concerned about was about food allergies.  Just good to be aware just in case we happen to stop at a place where all the ingredients in a particular food may not be visible or listed.
