Ah...Friday.

The gloriousness of the past day and a half is gone.

Clouds have rolled in upon us.

The air is chilled.

And the smell/feel of damp clings to everying.

Re: "The Shoes of the Fisherman":

I'm one of those people who forgives a LOT when a great music score is involved!

And seldom have we had anything as sumptuous as Alex North's magnificent work on that film.

:D

Wanna hear about BK's new play - but he tends to keep all new writing ideas close to the vest. Four characters, or four actors? Having come a month ago from a lunch with the aforementioned BK, during which we discussed my own 4-actor, multi-character play, my mind goes there...

I have been working on Lost in Yonkers - role of Grandma Kurnitz - she's 70-something, a real piece o' work - for an audition on May 6. Wowzaroonie! whatta character! She totally brings my father's mother to mind. The tight-lipped, determined misery and joylessness, the foreign accent used as a weapon to injure communication, the iron grip on the family... I'd love to play this character!!! So this audition gives me the excuse to start working on it, cuz sooner or later I'm gonna play these strange old ladies!!! Oh, boy!!!

PennyO, right now it's four actors/four roles, but I suppose that could change depending on where the writing leads me.

I managed to sleep nine gloriously glorious hours and boy did I need to.

Hiya, Bruce! I've gotten a good start on the structural changes you suggested for my play! Gosh, it's nice to have someone to bounce ideas around with. I'd love to hear about your play - nothing too revealing, of course... 4 actors: 2 and 2? 3 and 1? all 4 are women?

At this point, it's two and two.  As I wanted Deceit to be an old-fashioned thriller, and specifically wrote it in that style, I'm trying to do the same here and pay homage to 60s comedies.

Just popped in before leaving to say hello. I finished THE SHOCKING MISS PILGRIM while eating my lunch. Nice score, and a Grable musical that didn't feature dancing. The Gershwin score was very nice. Were these trunk songs never used before or did Ira take songs from their earlier musicals and construct new lyrics for them. I'll have to do some reading up on this collection of music for the film.

I changed out of jeans to get ready for tonight. Lo and behold, I took out a pair of pants I haven't fit into since I stopped teaching five years ago. My diet has brought about big changes! Not only can I fit back into these pants, they're a trifle loose! I couldn't have been more thrilled!

I finished up my afternoon's viewing with last night's MY NAME IS EARL. Juliette Lewis was the guest star, and she was very funny turning herself into a bounty hunter. I enjoyed the show quite a bit.

Here is this week's TVRULES LOST summary (of this past week's show). I haven't read it yet, but i'm looking forward to it, since this episode was so bizarre (and this guy has great insight into the show).

DR George, I got the Rosie show, but I won't be able to get it dubbed until this weekend since I'll be gone from the house most of today. Should be able to put it in the mail on Monday for you.

I was reading about the show in THE ADVOCATE last night before I turned out the lights. You should enjoy it, and I'll watch while it's dubbing since it isn't likely I would have watched otherwise. I'm glad now I'm going to see it.

Great!  Thanks a lot! :-*

He seems awfully flippant...and he seems to be mocking the show.

Some of the songs featured new lyrics to existing melodies, apparently.

tonight that WB is rerunning the PEPPER DENNIS pilot on Sunday night, and they called it "the hit drama." Wishful thinking.

I'm on a brief break before I finish up the new adjustments for Karen.  The laundry was finished by noon along with the piano-conductor, and I've been through the drums, percussion and bass.  I've got about 10 more bars on the trumpets, then saxes, horn, and trombone.  Oy!

An old cowboy dressed to kill with cowboy shirt, hat, jeans, spurs
and chaps went to a bar and ordered a drink.

As he sat there sipping his whiskey, a young lady sat down next to him.

After she ordered her drink she turned to the cowboy and asked him,
"Are you a real cowboy?"
   
"Well, I have spent my whole life on the ranch herding cows, breaking
horses, mending fences... I guess I am," replied the cowboy.

After a short while he asked her what she was.
   
"I've never been on a ranch so I'm not a cowboy, but I am a lesbian.
I spend my whole day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the
morning I think of women, when I eat, shower, watch TV, everything seems
to make me think of women," told the young woman.

A short while later she left and the cowboy ordered another drink.
   
A couple sat down next to him and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?"
