Hey y'all,

TOD:  I'll have to think about that one!  

I just had the yummiest homemade lunch:  I made a little pizza out of a whole-wheat pita, spread with fat-free ricotta, chopped tomatoes, fresh basil, spinach, reduced-fat feta, and a little bit of fresh mozzarellla.  With a side of fresh carrot-ginger slaw, made with apple cider vinegar, ground mustard, and a dab of mayo.  Yummy yum yum.

Today I'm off to a meeting with the director of my first official solo casting job!  It's a student film, should be pretty easy, although we have to find a 4-year-old girl.  That could present somewhat of a challenge.

But before that, I'm off to assist at an audition for  Tommy.  I'll check in later!

Home sick today so between naps I will sit on the couch like so much fish and watch motion picture entertainments on DVD.

Just finished watching this Bollywood movie, which I quite enjoyed. NANAK DUHJIYA SUB SANSAR (1970). It is about a family who is separated during the religious riots in 1948. Little by little the family is reunited over the next 20 years or so, despite the fact that they are now of different religious creeds. The film is a plea for those of different religions to please get along!

TOD:  I had a nice chat once with Frederick Forsyth.  He visited the aircraft carrier I was on in the Persian Gulf.  He was in the area doing research which, I believe, resulted in "The Fist of God."

Loretta Lynn -- she was doing a tour and also visited my carrier in the Persian Gulf...she and her hubby, Moony, who said very little.  She was outgoing, friendly, and genuinely concerned about the sailors.  I escorted her around the ship and we stopped in various work centers so she could chat.

Margaret Thatcher -- she visited San Diego promoting her book...she visited USS Kitty Hawk, my last command.  I found her charming and gracious, as only a British Dame can be, but had only minimal (but memorable) contact with her.

To make it clear why I was around these folks:  I was assistant Public Affairs Officer and chief-in-charge of shipboard TV and radio.

It is very, very windy and stormy outside! A good time to watch some scary movies...I think it is time to see both the Hong Kong and Japanese versions of MADAM WHITE SNAKE!

But first, a nap. ;)

Greetings from Chicago!  I'm back from a rehearsal with the Plaids and the cast with piano, bass, drums, and guitar.  Christine Ebersole is a delight, and DRGinny, without makeup, Christine's a dead ringer for Geri Hart!

DRJoy, I can recommend a lady for you about the Lena Horne role:  Montego Glover, who's in this concert:  she's beautiful,   friendly and funny, an excellent singer and dancer.  She and the Plaids are doing "Gotta Have Me Go With You" and we're using the orchestration from the "soundtrack" recording.  The Plaids are also doing "Two Ladies in the Shade of the Banana Tree" and "You're A Builder Upper."  This concert is looking quite good.

We've had one casualty:  our librarian Sue Birch fell last night and broke her ankle, so I think I'll be helping her out tomorrow night backstage.   Tonight I'm having dinner with the Gershwin family, the Kimballs, Betty Auman, and God knows who else.

DRJose, I decided I didn't like the DARLING OF THE DAY experience to want to either see the production and what was done to my work or deal with the Light Opera Works people.  Since the word's gotten back to me that one problem was my not delivering the completed orchestration last April - and this coming from the person who has been unable since Oct 2004 to provide a contract with the July Styne office - I suspect my work on this show is completed.  I don't have time to revisit such angst when I'm having a great time with Arlen, Gershwin, Harburg and others.

Poor, poor Mikey!  Get well.

My former intern Dylan is quite ill at SUNY Purchase and the health clinic seems unable to diagnose the illness.  Symptoms include coughing up blood, swollen lymph nodes, fever.  I suspect mononucleosis, but the tests have so far confirmed nada.  If he's still sick next week, I'm going to college to kick some ass.

A couple of years ago I met a guy who is now involved in Broadway Theate - something to do with Vampires and keyboards. A truly amazing man- talent and charm.  I think he may have been a houseboy for Mame Dennis in an earlier life.

The two hour extra time difference means that I no longer get to say Good morning to DRS ELmore, Ben and Michael S. It seems quite odd.

Remember when we saw her (Christine, not Geri) as Ado Annie?  Please tell her how much we enjoyed that!

Sounds like you're having a great time.

Most memorable people I've met are not the rich nor the famous. They are the people whose lives have been intertwined with my mine.

Ah, I knew there was a reason I wasn't seeing a smiling Aussie face in the morning.

I will see Jason's smiling face this evening at East of Eden (which is right next to East of Eighth, a supper club where Hedda Lettuce does her drag act after the movie show performance). Jason, will Jose be joining us?

Back from lunch at Chevy's.  

A nice change of pace from the humdrum...we were "on the waterfront" and early enough to get fast service.

Is this a slow news day here at haineshisway.com?  You all are supposed to keep the home fries burning and the home fries are certainly NOT burning.

I'm back for only a brief while, then must ship out the balance of the CD packages, then must hie myself to LACC.

Had fun at the sitzprobe (my first, actually), and our meeting was short and sweet.

DR MattH, I have seen WIN A DATE WITH TAD HAMILTON and I really liked it. But it's a very girly romantic comedy (so I hesitate to recommend it to you). I don't remember any scenes with Sean Hayes and Nathan Lane.  Did they only have the one scene?

The DVR did record it, but I haven't seen it yet, and I suspect it'll be this weekend before I get to it. However, since TV is pretty bankrupt for me on Friday night, I could watch it then.

I'll let you know once I've seen it. Girly-romantic I can handle if the right people are involved.

Lunch was very delicious, and I got back home early enough to be able to get to the movie theater showing CAPOTE in plenty of time.

It's a truly wonderful film. Hoffman (Philip Seymour, not Dustin) is brilliant beyond belief, and Clifton Collins, Jr. playing Perry Smith is almost his equal. The give and take these two actors experience during this film is something for the books.

Catherine Keener as Harper Lee is also grounded and very good, and numerous other superb actors pop in for brief appearances, Bob Balaban and Chris Cooper among them.

I loved it.

So, that's two for two for the year-end movies I've been looking forward to as far as satisfying me beyond expectations. First GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK and now CAPOTE.

I guess HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE will be the next one on my must-see list.

Then, in no particular order: RENT, THE PRODUCERS, and BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.
