I had the exact same reaction to RENT - show versus movie. I found the show pretty hard to take. The movie went down much easier. I think the sound level in the movie theater was perfect for the film. In the legit theater, I had blood pouring from my ears from the outrageous sound levels they ramped the music up to.

Speaking of Rent MattH, NDSU library has a book about the musical and I was looking through it last night... I will have to check the local Blockbuster to see if they have it.

DRJane, thanks for the updates on Danise and I am glad to hear that she is doing well.

As for the topic of the day I have seen a number of silents but only a few titles come to mind at the moment:

Potemkin
Birth of a Nation
and a few Buster Keaton movies
and a Mary Pickford film but the name escapes me at this moment.

The Fargo Theatre has Silent movie nights every once in a while and they have a person playing on their huge Wurlitzer organ. It is neat to listen to that...

Thanks, all, for the good audition vibes!

About that size 2 stuff - yes, I am amazed to see my tiny clothes come out of the dryer - they look like doll clothes. I never FEEL "small" - I am Miles Gloriosus in my mind...

MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL is going up everywhere in the past year - the audition notice for the one in Portland asks for women size 8 and up -- the one I saw here in LA had women of four different sizes, and the one who played the aging soap star was only slightly bigger than I am...

Actors try REAL hard not to annoy the director right off the bat, at the audition... let's wait until they can't fire us, say, during production week, before we annoy them...

Well, there is that. ;) And it happens quite often here in Olympia, too. :P

Let's hope the folks at North Coast Rep think I'd be perfect for all 5 characters in their coming show... I would LOVE to see a small actress come in for those parts... means they could use more than wigs - as in, costumes with different "bodies" sewn in for the different characters: a fat-suit in it for the Jewish Mama, a big bust and rear end for the Italian tango dancer, the barfly could be emaciated, etc.

I have the opposite problem... until I was 31 and I ghad to have my thyroid removed I could eat all I wanted and never was bigger than a "junior 5 "

Since the thyroid went bye bye, size fives became a distant memory but I think of myself as thin (l I am shocked when I  see myself in the mirror or in photos)

Thursday greetings!  Just finished presenting the February edition of my 3-hour grantseeking basics workshop.  Now I'm enjoying tuna glop for my lunch.

DR Jane - thanks for today's Danise report.

Good Morning!  Good Afternoon!

I've actually been up since 10:00... ;)

-But then had to get right in gear for a small recording session here at my apartment.  A friend of mine needed some songs put down for a dance clinic he's giving this weekend... And his wife also needed a rehearsal CD for her musical theatre class... So...

Thankfully, they just needed a single track - piano - and Garage Band is mercifully easy to use.  We got through everything in a very leisurely two hours.  -Of course, we only had about 20 minutes of music to record, but I think we got some good tracks down.  "Theses are only for rehearsal and reference purposes, right?"

;)

-And that's what I've been doing with my day so far.

As for the Topic of the Day...

I'm not sure I've ever seen a silent movie all the way through either.

However, I do remember major snippets of "City Lights", "Nosferatu", and "Metropolis".

As for DR Jason...

He's doing well.  Work is busy, but I believe they're almost caught up at the MTI offices after their phone and internet cables got severed two weeks ago.  And his family situation has quieted down too.

Jason is doing all right.  Just taking some "me time" right now.


He'll be back...  We all come back.

DR elmore - Feel free to give me a ring the next time your computer needs a little fine tuning.  I'm not an expert by any means, but I do know how to get rid of most of the detritus (a former word of the day) that can accumulate on a hard drive.

Hmmm... The sun is shining.  Yes, it's a bit cool outside, but I think I may head out for a walk later on.  In the meantime, I promised myself that I would finish unpacking the rest the stuff I brought up Tuesday.  -Wow, was that just Tuesday?!?!?

Most of the unpacking involves putting my clothes away in my dresser, then just a bunch of little chores.  So...

Laters...

DR PennyO - I'd go ahead and send your P/R into the Menopause: The Musical people, just to be on file.  Maybe they were just looking to fill one role right now, thus the "size 10+" requirement.  Ya' never know.

In the meantime... Hope your ears, nose and throat clears up soon.  Break legs!
