I am a slave to the squirrels, the lizards and the dogs.

Good night, all. My arthritis is really acting up with the change of the seasons, so I think I had better head off to bed.

Danise · « **Reply #243 on:** October 26, 2005, 07:30:37 PM »

Sleep well, DR TCB!

Night TCB, and take care!

Tomovoz, I just love your bird photos! All I get are crows in my back yard

Danise · « **Reply #245 on:** October 26, 2005, 07:47:26 PM »

I wouldn't mind crows. I've always wanted to raise a crow baby.

I'm tired. Have a good evening all!

Happy Birthday Jed!!

When I look back, I remember 26 as being a good year (of course it was just one year ago, so I don't t have to look so far back

)

Great Photos Danise.

I'm still recuperating, can't figure out what on earth made me this tired. Anyway, I'm off to bed. I'd like to stay up for the rest of the World Series tonight....Go Sox...but I fear I must sleep

Great bird picture, Tom!

And great pictures, Danise!

DR Jed, I must have missed your cake report post.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #251 on:** October 26, 2005, 08:07:07 PM »

DR Jason, how is your grandmother doing?

Matt H. · « **Reply #252 on:** October 26, 2005, 08:09:20 PM »

A gorgeous parrot (?) picture, DR Tom.

Had an enjoyable night of TV.

I did first put THE WIZARD OF OZ back in and watch from another machine. I think maybe the color processors in that DVD player are somehow more accurate or better tuned because the color from it was far more vibrant on my microdisplay TV. (On the CRT, the colors were so fully saturated that they hurt the eye.) I ended up watching about 45 minutes of the movie again just to revel in that glorious color and sharp picture.

I'm too old not to do anything twice! Never let a chance go by.
Being height challenged I'd be a hobbit in a habit.

Then I watched the MY FAIR LADY show which I had recorded from Ovation.

It was an hour special made at the time of the mounting of the National Theater production of MY FAIR LADY with Jonathan Pryce. It did show that cast in rehearsal and we got a bit of "The Rain in Spain," "With a Little Bit of Luck," and one other song. Very rough and I have to say I wasn't especially impressed with either of the three stars in these rehearsal clips.

However, they did do a backstory on the original 1910 play of PYGMALION, the 1938 movie, Lerner and Loewe's 1956 musical (which one and all pronounced the greatest musical comedy in the history of the medium and then gave their reasons behind calling it superior in construction to Shaw's play), and the 1964 movie. No other stage versions were mentioned.

There was some movie footage of Shaw himself, and of course, plenty of full frame clips from the MY FAIR LADY film and from "The World of Lerner and Loewe" that showed Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison in simulated rehearsal footage. Also present was Kitty Carlisle who kept commenting on how ghastly Julie had been during early rehearsals of the show and how her husband booked a suite and spent the weekend feeding Julie every line of the play in a last ditch effort to get her ready to perform opposite the feisty Harrison: all very well known stories.

On Ovation tonight was a documentary on choreographer Hermes Pan. I recorded it during VERONICA MARS and will watch it tomorrow.

Matt H. · « **Reply #260 on:** October 26, 2005, 08:23:11 PM »

VERONICA MARS had a couple of very surprising twists in the episode tonight.

Boy, do I hate new student transfer Jackie, but, then, I've said that ever since she's come onto the scene. I see she's been added to the opening credits, so I guess she's going to stick around awhile. Boo! Hiss!

Matt H. · « **Reply #261 on:** October 26, 2005, 08:24:39 PM »

And INVASION had an episode which has secured the show a permanent place on my regular viewing schedule. I really was on the fence about this one, but after tonight, I'll be around for the rest of the season. Very good show.

Matt H. · « **Reply #262 on:** October 26, 2005, 08:25:27 PM »

Among the items that arrived today in addition to THE WIZARD OF OZ was DARLING LILI, and I'll be watching it tomorrow at some point.

A most happy of birthdays to Mr. Jed!!!!

Matt H. · « **Reply #264 on:** October 26, 2005, 09:08:12 PM »

Heading toward the bedroom now.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the evening.

Good night!

I dunno, during the three summers I was involved with Sound of Music, there were a few habits I wouldn't have minded getting in...

Thanks again for all the wonderful birthday wishes! There is truly nowhere else you could ever hope to find such a wonderful group of folks as this!

Sorry, DR Laura, no cake report, but I've made sure to take in copious amounts of baked goods between DG Ann's muffins and my sister's yummilicious cookies.

OMG, is it too late to wish Jed a happy birthday?

It's after midnight here, but I think it's still yesterday where you are, so happy birthday, Jed.

Jed · « **Reply #268 on:** October 26, 2005, 09:37:31 PM »

Plenty of time to spare, Fred! Still a couple hours of yesterday to go around here. Thanks!

Had our little production meeting, and then the team and I went out for chow, of which I ate too much (what else is new).
