There is a new HOUSE on tonight which I'm thrilled about, and, of course, always look forward to another episode of THE CLOSER.

And THE SHIELD continues on its brilliant way tonight, too. It's got a couple of more episodes before its season finale.

Rodzinski and I heard about Dana Reeves this morning, such sad news.

After having some audio problems last night with my surround sound set-up while watching TV (nothing wrong with the receiver since the other inputs worked perfectly with the surround sound), I'll have to fiddle some more with that today to see if I can figure out what was going on last night.

All of a suddden during the extended trailer of the X-MEN 3 movie (being shown during '24' last night), the sound just cut out. At first I thought it was a network problem, but it wasn't.

Technology is wonderful but can also be oh so maddening.

Good health and back vibes to DR TCB.

I am battling my fourth (!) cold of the school year! I feel ooky and am going to skip the gym.

Donald, I LOVE this week's radio show. The first segment is full of great songs. Thanks!!!

Whew! A lot of posts to catch up on from last night! I fell asleep on the couch at about 8:00pm last night...guess I was tired.

DR JRand, that Allison with the horse photo is wonderful! I have never seen that shot before!

'Morning all!

I also read about Dana Reeves this morning. Sad news, Indeed. A very brave and wonderful woman by all accounts.

Matt H. · « **Reply #39 on:** March 07, 2006, 07:29:19 AM »

I think most people have nerves before anxious moments, but before performing is one of the few times where I don't feel especially nervous, that is, IF the show has had adequate rehearsal and I feel prepared.

Now, before auditions, that's a different story. Those are the worst nerves I ever get since the unknown is often a factor. But as to how I deal with nerves, I couldn't say. I just do what I have to do. I don't have any system like deep breathing or meditation.

Ya know, when I was reading the posts I somehow knew that DR Elmore would say that!

BK, was glad to hear your thoughts on BARBARIAN AND THE GEISHA...I have never seen that film but it always seemed sort of interesting. I wonder what ever became of the lovely Eiko Ando.

This movie seems to be her only film credit.

Matt H. · « **Reply #42 on:** March 07, 2006, 07:31:25 AM »

Sorry about your "new" cold, DR TPunk. I've been feeling for the last few days that I might be coming down with something but when I wake up each morning, I seem OK until that feeling starts creeping back that something is brewing later on in the evening. Been going on this was for four or five days.

Danise · « **Reply #43 on:** March 07, 2006, 07:33:13 AM »

I have to be the odd ball when it comes to nerves. Before something I am calm, cool and collected. When it's over, I'm sick as a dog.

Even when I have to give a presentation at work, I'm fine before but in the car ride back the office, everyone is laughing and joking and I feel like I'm gonna toss my cookies.

Still no notification about HARRY POTTER or THREE GUYS NAMED MIKE from Amazon!

Well... I called the ever-demanding and ever forceful - but in a good way

- DR elmore, and helped him with his iDisk issues. Alas, I was not able to solve his problems, but at least we found some possible reasons for his issues. And then we started to deal with his iDisk.

More than happy to oblige, DR elmore.

Is Ando a common Japanese name, I wonder?

One of Japan's lady figure skating entries was Niki Ando.

I'm up, I'm up. Sorry to hear about Mrs. Reeve - she always seemed like a lovely person - I saw her on B'way in some show starring a comic - Rob something - awful show, but she was very cute in it.

"Wouldn't It Be Loverly" and "The Simple Joys of Maidenhood" are two that Julie Andrews made famous.

As for nerves...

I still get a slight case of them before performances, but I think that's due to the excitement of the evening (first preview, opening night). However, when I was doing more solo and accompanying work, like DR Danise, my nerves would kick in more after the performance rather than before. I guess I really was keeping things under control beforehand, heh?

Lately, nerves will kick in when I'm about to meet someone "important". I'm not debilitated by them, but they do make me sort of giddy and giggly. This usually happens when I'm playing auditions and I notice a "star" coming in - "I get to play for HIM/HER?!?!?" -And then I calm down when I realize that they're usually dealing with nerves too.

Ginny · « **Reply #54 on:** March 07, 2006, 07:46:21 AM »

Off to a meeting then work. Bye for now!

Ben · « **Reply #55 on:** March 07, 2006, 07:46:22 AM »

Not to ignore the rest of the show Donald. It's all great. Just wanted you to know.

bk · « **Reply #56 on:** March 07, 2006, 07:48:37 AM »

Good I Want Songs - had several but didn't have others so I added them to the list.

Matt H. · « **Reply #57 on:** March 07, 2006, 07:48:46 AM »

For those who missed it in theaters, I see that GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK comes out next week on DVD. So does A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. CAPOTE is out the following week.

bk · « **Reply #58 on:** March 07, 2006, 07:49:51 AM »

I do hope other hainsies/kimlets are listening to our radio show every week. First off, Donald is great, and his shows are great - interesting and informative. Second off, it's not cheap to keep it running.

Last night, TCB posted:

_{"I am not sure my body is doing too well tonight. A truck backed into my car this afternoon while I was sitting in it. I had already put the car in Park, so I think I felt it more than I might have otherwise. I thought I was fine, but I am starting to get a little sore. "}

What I want to know is...TCB, what were you doing in that truck???
