RE: Last nights discussion on oil / gas prices; I would like to see a list of every Senator and Reprsentative that owns stock in the oil companies; as well as what share of their portfolio.
Everyone keeps rambling about how Congress should come in and stop these high gas prices. Isn't that the same as asking the fox to guard the henhouse?

I guess during my time in the Park yesterday, I had ended up breathing in a little too much Nature. I wasn't feeling sneezy, sniffly or stuffy-headed last night, I was just feeling a bit off and tired. So, after I realized I had fallen asleep in front of the TV during "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List" - which I didn't think would ever be possible - I just headed to bed. And eight+ hours later... :)

So... Should I see "The Happening" today? -As a way of "celebrating" Friday the 13th, of course. ;)

Good morning, all! I slept late. and I've been gathering information from a lot of loverly folk on the cast recording list who respondedto my inquiry yesterday with a virtual plethora of information and offers of gifts. Today, I have a date with Kip Wilborn at 1 pm to hand over his charts, and I have a new chart to begin for the singing cop Daniel Rodriguez.

As for the Friday Media Check:
Sergio Mendes - "Encanto" - Boy do the tracks on this album make a subway ride go by very fast! And there's just no way for me to listen to this without dancing a little bit and smiling.
A Catered Affair OCR - I was a bit hesitant about purchasing this since I was not too thrilled by the show in person, however, in some ways it works better on record. -From a licensing standpoint, I just have to wonder how Harvey Fierstein's music is notated. ;)
Kelli O'Hara - "Wonder in the World" - It's a good album, but most definitely a mellow album. Alas, I do share the same quibble that a lot of the Critics have with the album - the re-arranged and re-grooved "Fable" from The Light in the Piazza. It really does sound a bit forced. And the quasi-Latin treatment of "I Have Dreamed", well... :-\
In The Heights OCR - Calor! Calor!! Calor!!!
Eric Cutler, tenor; Bradley Moore, pianist - "Debut" - I came across this recital disc while browsing at Virgin. It actually came out a few years ago, and is/was a part of EMI's "Debut" series - I think Nathan Gunn's first recital disc was released under this imprint too. And it was only $8.00! Quite a nice disc, and it's nice to hear Bradley Moore again - I remember him from his days at the University of Maryland.
-
In my DVD player this weekend?
I'll probably finish watching the 3rd season of WEEDS and, assuming it arrives today, start the 3rd season of THE CLOSER.
The other day, I watched THE FURIES, which is the only Anthony Mann western I'd never seen.
In its glorious black-and-white, it was beautiful to look at, but SOOO talky.
If Eugene O'Neill had ever written a western, it would certainly have been something like this one.
Where's Jimmy Stewart when you need him?

I'm newbie Mark's "lovely wife," Amy. Thanks for calling me "lovely," Bruce! Sorry this post is so late, but I understand there was a request for the pineapple pie recipe. It's embarrassingly quick and simple, so you'll have plenty of time left in the day to lay around like so much fish or drive around in your motorcar (if you can still afford a tank of gas). Here it is:
In a bowl, mix 1 can crushed pineapple (in juice, not syrup), 1/4 cup sugar, a dash of salt, 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of instant tapioca pudding mix, and 1 squeeze of lemon. Pour the mixture into the bottom pie shell. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to drain off about half the pineapple juice first. I neglected to do this with Bruce's pies, and the filling tends to boil and create large fissures in the top crust, which made them pretty darn ugly pies. Then, lay the top crust on top, pinch the edges together, and poke in the steam holes. Make sure you use just regular size crusts - this is definitely NOT a deep-dish pie. Then, bake for 45 minutes at 400 degrees.

The reading of "First Nudie Musical" was wonderful! I disagree that "Perversion" fell flat. It was delightful hearing Bruce put out his best Cuban accent ("I'll play chhhard to get, if that gets you chhhard"). The highlight of the evening was hearing how Bruce had greatly developed the stunt c**k character. He's no longer just a freak of nature who refuses to take off his hat. The new song in that bit is what had me in tears. If anything fell flat, it's the unnecessary finger hat. I understand it was necessary in the movie due to the Lavern-and-Shirley-longer-hair-6-months-later-issue, but that issue wouldn't exist now and I don't understand what a “finger scene” is and why is Rosie wearing a finger hat when she's not even supposed to be in the show at that point. It all sort of went like a DVD of Tai-Pan where you're watching for 30 minutes and don't know what's going on, even though this finger bit only took about 30 seconds. The bit just doesn't make any sense, but maybe if Bruce explains it, I'll find it hilarious.

My A/C/ flipped on this morning before 7:30! That is very unusual and emblematic of how hot and muggy it is here right now. Ugh!
We got no rain yesterday, but they're calling for a 20% chance later today for showers.

Well, after all the build-up for this movie, I figured it was either going to be brilliant or stupid, and after looking at the star-ratings, well... However, it's only 90 minutes, and I can catch a matinee for $7.00, so... We shall see. Or not.

I am expecting the Criterions for THE FURIES and BEFORE THE RAIN, but they're not here yet, so I didn't add them to the Media Check list. I expect them to come tomorrow, and, if so, will watch BEFORE THE RAIN tomorrow night.

Very excited to read that two more Donald Stratchey mysteries have been filmed. The first, premiering in late July is ON THE OTHER HAND, DEATH. (I would assume the DVD will follow in a few months).
The second is ICE BLUES which will premiere this fall.
I love these mysteries and can't wait to see these upcoming ones. Too bad my cable service doesn't offer the here! network, or I could see them without waiting for the DVDs.

That would be an intelligent way to handle it (though again, a gay network is discriminated against by not being part of the usual digital tier of channels).
How nominal is nominal? $6? $9? $12?

I wasn't too surprised by the bottom 3. Maybe a little bit by debbie allen's protigy will being in the bottom. But i knew he wasn't going anywhere (i wasn't thrilled about him and his partner, mostly her).
I really did not care re: the couple who left. I had never seen them before (certainly not the girl). Very unfortunate for her. I think that each top 20 should have to be shown (their audition and during las vegas week). Really unfair that she got no airtime.

Lat night, instead of watching primetime network or cable offerings, I caught upon on some DVR stuff.
One was an episode of "The Outer Limits" starring Jason Gedrick and Lochlyn Munroe. I had seen this episode, but I didn't remember it. Many scenes in this film were excerpts from older shows. Gedrick was one of four candidates for a special mission and all of the tests were conducted in a neural simulator in which each candidate was interjected into a realistic scenario, but was not himself or herself. That gave the editors the opportunity to use scenes from older episodes. In one of them was one Jack Noseworthy of whom most of you are familiar. I had to think hard to remember his name, but was pleased it finally came to me.
After I was done that show, I began watching the newest episode of "Fear Itself" as it aired on Fox. Coinkadinkally, Jack Noseworthy was one of the stars in the episode along with Eric Roberts. Who'd a thunk it!

I have a
paranoia... theory that the United States IS under terrorist attack even as I write this.
This whole tomato thing seems a perfect way to sow seeds of doubt and mistrust about all our fresh produce. Start the fear pandemic and watch the agricultural infrastructure collapse. Chaos ensues. That's what terrorists do.
Or maybe the bad tomatoes come from Mexico and adds fuel to the anti-NAFTA fires.
Or maybe some formerly trusted growers decided to cut some corners and order fertilizer from a source that should never have been trusted.
Which "could" bring us full circle back to the first scenario.

Good Afternoon!
Well, I'm back for a post-movie break - and also to get my MoMA membership card from my other wallet.
I did go see "The Happening". There was an 11:30 showing at the AMC Magic Johnson Theatres down on 125th Street - just 20 blocks, or one express stop away on the subway.
Well... After a while - and it felt like a long while - it became more of a game of "spot the New York City actor" to me. -And I believe a few others in the theatre. It was basically the only way to keep from laughing.
Apparently, M. Night was hoping that this movie would redeem his Hollywood cred, well... IMHO, he has a whole lot more redeeming to do. What a truly strange - in all senses of the word - and stupid - in all senses of that word - it is. It's almost so bad and stupid that I may have to see it again. NOT!
Thankfully, I only spent $6.00, so... Not too bad. -And I was able to get part of today's crossword puzzle down during the 15 minutes(!?!?!?) of previews.

Dawn Upshaw did the same thing on her Rodgers & Hart album. -Which also features a duet with Audra McDonald - which always has me asking, "Who's singing now?" - their voices are eerily similar.
-
The map highlighted the source of victims, not the original source of the tomatoes.
And we certainly do know how to "make" victims. :-\

Hello, DR Jeanne! ;D
-
As for the tomato scare... Well, after seeing "The Happening", well.... ;)
*However, I just wish there would be more emphasis that the problem is with raw, uncooked tomatoes. By cooking them, you will kill the salmonella. In any case, I do understand the concern, and at this point and time, I believe it is better to "over react" than under react until the exact cause of the problem is found. One really can't be too careful when dealing with a potentially death-causing bacteria.

JMK - don't forget to put in where you can buy Evening Primrose :)

I'll be interested to hear thoughts on The Happening. You can't go one block without seeing some huge billboard for it, but all I think of when I see the title is the Faye Dunaway hippie comedy from the late 60s.
Well, as for my thoughts... See above.
However, I have to say Betty Buckley really does give quite the "performance" as Mrs. Jones.
POSSIBLE "THE HAPPENING" SPOILER
I think I had figured out the "reason" for what was happening in "The Happening" - well, at least why it happened to some people and not others. There is a lot of talk about math in the movie, and I suspect certain numbers are the key to figure it out. God knows, no reason was given for it in the movie. -Oh, but it was fun seeing the different ways the director/writer chose to kill off people - and those events were certainly less laugh-inducing than somemost of the dialog.

DR Jennifer - As for "So You Think You Can Dance?"
I actually haven't seen last night's elimination yet, but I already know who went home, so... No big deal.
As for who got featured and who did not during the preliminary rounds, well, that's just the way things work. You may not like it, I may not like it, but I think it's just better to accept that "imbalance" and just enjoy the show. At this point, it's just a given.
I do have to say, I really think the choreographers have really stepped it up this season. -Alas, I wish Tyce Diorio would stop those "Theatre Dance" segments. Theatre Dance nowadays covers too much ground. Just because he choreographs to a theatre song does not make it "theatre dance". And a lot of the time, he uses a cover version of a theatre song and not the original.* However, his modern stuff from past shows has been pretty good. His theatre stuff just looks like stuff you would see and do in a class. And not a good class at that.
As for Mia Michaels "Wedding" routine... Eh. I got what she was doing, but I wish the lighting had been brighter so that you could actually see the dancers and the dancing.
*And I really wish the technical producers could fix the sound imbalances between some of the older and newer tracks they use. You can definitely tell when they're playing an original analog track and when they're playing a digital one.

What a lot of hainsies/kimlets we've got here right now.

I went over to rottentomatoes.com, a site I truly loathe, to check out some reviews for The Happening. It's not a pretty picture from most of the major critics, I must say.

Hello, everyone.
Our heat wave is over, but the temps are still in the high 80's and that's just too hot for me. I may be a perpetual grump until fall.

OK - I'm off to MoMA to stare at "Starry Night" before it gets packed up to travel for a few months.

Wonderful news, DR JoseSPiano. Congratulations! :D

She's high
Really? ;)

OXYMORON-
How can You be HIGH and DRY?

Whew, I am glad things are Okay with Cillaliz...the news reports that I saw this morning certainly showed a lot of flood water!!!
-
Has anyone heard from DR Cillaliz.?? I hope she isn't affected by The Iowa deluge
DR ArnoldMBrockman, thank you so much for asking and thank you DR Jose for calling to check on me. Something, perhaps the dome of stench, has protected Sioux City thus far. While we are at the confluence of the Big Sioux, The Missouri and the Floyd Rivers, none of them are flooded at this point in time.
The tornado at the Boy Scout Ranch was about 45 miles from here, but we haven't been hit by a tornado yet.
So we are absolutely fine
-
Really? ;)
Nah, I'm not high, just working
-
Not always!
"Rose's Turn" has a lyric, "Gypsy" has lyrics.
der Brucer
Actually, I got into this debate with sondheim's publisher when they published my choral arrangement of "Our time." On the manuscript, I'd written "lyric by Stephen Sondheim," and they changed it to "Lyrics." According to the publisher, "Rose's Turn" would be lyrics, not lyric.
-
Now, if I wanted to go to Federal Court in Cedar Rapids (the seat of our District) I wouldn't be able to get there. The Federal Building is the cement color building on the left. The one in the middle of the river is either the County Courthouse or City Hall, can't remember. Behind that is the Lynn County Jail
-
The Federal Building is going to be a mess. Apparently they moved some archives off the floor of the basement. but left them in the basement. The water is now over the door height on the first floor. What you see on the parking ramp is the second level, the first is totally under water

I like rottentomatoes.com. They collected all of our "Cream of the Crop" reviews (Variety, etc.) for SACCO AND VANZETTI, and gave us a 100% approval rating...therefore, a "fresh tomato"!
Hope that doen't mean we have salmonella!
-
Glad to see you here, DR Cillaliz. I'm watching the flood coverage on TV and was wondering about you.
Think I'm gonna sign off and disconnect for a while - there's a thurnderstorm developing.
Bye for now!

Next I watched DRILLBIT TAYLOR.
Forgettable is probably the kindest thing I can say about this "comedy." I cringe when any movie is about high school bullies, and this one lets the bullies pull the wool over everyone's eyes for far too long. In this film, all adults are stupid, blind, indifferent, or unkind. I just found it so inanely simplistic. But, the worst thing is, it's not funny. At all. I didn't laugh once.
One cute moment: the movie is about three nerdy freshmen who hire a bodyguard to protect them at school. At one point, they're interviewing potential bodyguards when who shows up to interview but Adam Baldwin who made his first big splash in movies in MY BODYGUARD (1980) playing a young tough guy hired by a nerdy kid at school to protect him.
-
I watched a bunch of the bonus features on the disc: deleted scenes, a montage of line ad-libs that didn't make the film, gag reel, a conversation on the phone between the film's two writers, etc.
Tonight, I still have about 5 more bonus featurettes plus the audio commentary. Should take another one to two hours, but I should have time to watch HUSH, HUSH SWEET CHARLOTTE before my evening internet surf.
-
I also skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. No gay boys, but they were in the previews for next week. Looks like a showdown! Good! It's a long time coming!

Speaking of MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST, an interview with Kathy Griffin I read the other day intimated that this may be the last season for it. She says making the show is exhausting with her busy schedule, so the season we're watching now may be it. I hope not, and maybe it's a ploy to get more money, but that's what she said in the piece I read.

OK, writing done for the moment. I'm heading down now to finish up with DRILLBIT TAYLOR and then move on to something more to my liking.

TOD:
Book: Finding Betty Crocker: The secret life of America's First Lady of Food, by Susan Marks. It's kind of a biography.
CD Player: Diva by Diva, with Judy Kaye. If Finding Betty Crocker were to be made into a musical, Ms. Kaye would be great in the lead!
DVD Player: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I'm re-watching it in segments, over several nights, sort of like a Dickens novel. What with my work schedule, watching a motion picture entertainment all in one gulp is too time consuming.
Movie: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom and the Glory of the Crystal Skull. Yesterday, really. Der Brucer thought it would be a good way to relax after the audit. And it was. And I liked the way it started, with the usual visual pun on the Paramount logo fading into the film's first shot, something that der B missed.

Nice to have a day off today.
Tonight, we shall be supping on pork loin chops, which are brining even as I write. Plus mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy. And broccoli.

How do they "make" tomatoes in Canada?
In spite of der Brucer's map yesterday, California has been ruled out as a source for the tainted tomatoes. Stores have stopped stocking all tomatoes not grown in California, however.
Where will it all lead to and when will it end?
Everyone should know by now that it isn't safe to eat rare tomatoes! Well done is always safer.

Good Afternoon!
Well, I'm back for a post-movie break - and also to get my MoMA membership card from my other wallet.
I did go see "The Happening". There was an 11:30 showing at the AMC Magic Johnson Theatres down on 125th Street - just 20 blocks, or one express stop away on the subway.
Well... After a while - and it felt like a long while - it became more of a game of "spot the New York City actor" to me. -And I believe a few others in the theatre. It was basically the only way to keep from laughing.
Apparently, M. Night was hoping that this movie would redeem his Hollywood cred, well... IMHO, he has a whole lot more redeeming to do. What a truly strange - in all senses of the word - and stupid - in all senses of that word - it is. It's almost so bad and stupid that I may have to see it again. NOT!
Thankfully, I only spent $6.00, so... Not too bad. -And I was able to get part of today's crossword puzzle down during the 15 minutes(!?!?!?) of previews.

On a Grind-related note - The song "All Things To One Man" was one of those songs that I fell in love with on first play (during an audition). Great harmonies.

Sorry Ron, I was just kidding about the rare tomatoes. I just thought it was funny to hear all of the news people warning people that eating raw tomatoes could give you salmonella; as if they were eating raw hamburger or raw eggs.

(and wouldn't I just KILL for a jar of Duke's Mayonnaise! We have Best Foods brand, which "they say" is Duke's "west of the Applachians" -- or should that be "Rockies"?).
Well... I'm heading down to Richmond next week, and I already have an "order" for a few jars of Duke's for a friend of mine here in NYC. I could always add another jar or two to that order...
*Although, I think you can get Duke's via Amazon now too. Four 32. oz jars for just under $17.00.

I'll look into the Amazon option. My mom could always send me some. And I could send myself some when I'm in SC in December.
I just never think about mayo in December.
-
What makes Duke's so special?
I think it's the eggs...golden creamy eggs.
-
No, he doesn't. :(
-And if he had, he probably would have morphed into the character his brother Donnie played in "The Sixth Sense".
Ugh, that is not a pretty picture!

Ooohh!
Audible.com sent me a special 3-Audio-Books-For-2-Credits e-mail, and since I have - well had - two credits...

No, Best Foods is Hellman's.

What's this? The movie on DVD?
Well, the movie is already on DVD.
Here is what I'm talking about (http://footlight.com/product.cfm?product_id=38694)

No, Best Foods is Hellman's.
Right you are! It IS Hellman's.
Duke's is in a class by itself.
Just read THESE TESTIMONIALS at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Dukes-Mayonnaise/dp/B0002BQLEG/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=gourmet-food&qid=1213400545&sr=8-1) from satisfied customers.

I can understand ordering something like Duke's, that you can't get in every store; but why in the Hell would you order Libby's canned corned beef or a box of Slim Jims from Amazon?
-
Until this very moment I did not even realize that Donnie Wahlberg and Mark Wahlberg were two differnt people.
-
What makes Duke's so special?
It's just really, really good. One of the things that sets it apart from most of the other mayo's out there is that it does not contain any sugar. Any sweetness is from cider vinegar.
I was never much of a mayo fan until I moved to Richmond, and was told that I just had to try Duke's by a couple of people. Well... Every tuna salad and chicken salad I've made ever since has included Duke's. And it really is the only mayo that should be used for a proper pimiento cheese. ;)
My friend here in NYC who I supply actually eats it by the spoonful as a snack!

Let's just say I never want to work with her again. She's a bitch.
There are many people in Atlanta who feel that way about the Tai Pan director Daryl Duke. But we don't need to worry about that anymore...

From the DUKE'S (http://www.dukesmayo.com/) website:
A Uniquely Southern Recipe
Almost a century after Eugenia Duke created her unique mayonnaise recipe, Duke’s is still made in Greenville, South Carolina. Mrs. Duke’s kitchen has been replaced by a modern production facility that turns out 240 jars of mayonnaise a minute, but the recipe for Duke’s Mayonnaise has remained the same. “We’ve never changed the formula,” explains Mark Sauer, vice president of sales for C. F. Sauer and great-grandson of Conrad Sauer, Sr., “not since Duke’s time.” Duke’s, he says, is a uniquely Southern product. “It was developed at a time when the South was still a distinctive place with a distinctive taste. And that hasn’t changed.” The formula for Duke’s includes more egg yolks than other brands of mayonnaise, he points out. It also has no added sugar. (It’s the only major brand of mayonnaise that can make that claim.) That combination gives the mayonnaise a tanginess Duke’s fans have come to love.
-
I knew the eggs made a difference! :D
-
...(and wouldn't I just KILL for a jar of Duke's Mayonnaise! We have Best Foods brand, which "they say" is Duke's "west of the Applachians" -- or should that be "Rockies"?).
Stuff and nonsense. Best Foods, in the West, is Hellman's in the East. Both brands are made by Unilever, which also makes I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. Which says a lot, if you ask me.
-
And speaking of C.F. Sauer's...
Sauer's is a company based in Richmond, Virginia, that specializes in spices and flavorings (vanilla, almond extract, etc.). Well... A few years ago while shopping at Ukrop's (http://www.ukrops.com), I compared the labels on a jar of Duke's and a jar of C.F. Sauer's own mayo, well... The ingredient and nutrition panels looked very similar. I did not conduct a side-by-side taste test, but I still wonder.... ;)

Unilever also makes Lifebuoy, Pond's, Dove and Vaseline.

Broccoli
No, my money is on potatoes. Make everyone eat rice, corrupt our society that way. ;D
Come to think of it, destroy potatoes and you've distroyed the entire fast food industry (no french fries, natch). No more jobs for kids, they're all out on the streets, broke and corruptable. Time to spark a revolution!
It could work!

So THAT'S your beauty regimen! The secret is out!

And, yes, it was sad to hear about the sudden death of Tim Russert. When I got home earlier and turned on the TV... I, too, will miss his presence on TV.
-
So THAT'S your beauty regimen! The secret is out!
Um... No. The secret - at least what I've always thought it was - was all the Rice I ate with almost each and every meal while I was growing up. ;)

so twice the egg yolks = twice the cholesterol

Has anyone here yet made mayonaise from scratch?
(Or, if you add garlic, aioli? ;))
-
Come to think of it, some mayo would go well with tonight's pre-terrorist tainted broccoli.
-
DR Cillaliz - WHOA! Those are some "wet" pictures. Once again, glad to know that you're out of harm's way.
-

-
Well, I should have known that you would have made some mayo, Jose.
Blender method or entirely by hand? I followed Julia's instructions for by hand. Using lemon juice. I just gave der B a taste, and he liked.
-
And now my shoulder is tired.
And it's time for the Doctor!
-
DR Cillaliz - WHOA! Those are some "wet" pictures. Once again, glad to know that you're out of harm's way.
Thanks Jose. I know many from Cedar Rapids. I think most of them live away from the area but they work in the flood zone.
-
I've never made mayonnaise from scratch but I once scratched some mayonnaise - it's really messy and gets under the fingernails. I only like Best Foods mayo - will not eat any other.
-
Bring out the Hellman's and bring out the best.
I'd be curious to try Duke's, though
-
I am quite enjoying the gamine Natalie Dessay as Marie, in the La Fille du Regiment. It's a very funny production, and the director won my respect for taking her farewell at the end of the first act very seriously. It was quite moving.
The cast is excellent and I wish I'd seen them at the Met. Dessay and Juan Diego Florez in his liederhosen look like teenagers, and the character sngers are very wonderful. Donald maxwell of the old D'Oyly Carte opera company is a hoot as the Marquise's factotum and Corbelli as Sulpice looks like one of those round-bottomed dolls you can't knock over. The great Felicity Palmer as the Marquise of Berkenfield is also a hoot.
-
Let's hear it for Mr Florez and his millions of high C's. It's criminal to sing so well, act so well, and look so good. There must be a wart.

There isn't.

And, yes, that is sooooo a joke. (Sadly.) Besides, I never kiss and tell.

Enjoyed some wonderful things during my viewing this evening. I began by finishing the bonus features on DRILLBIT TAYLOR. Luckily, apart from the commentary, none were of any extreme length. I think the longest featurette was like 3 1/2 minutes.
I thought the commentary was going to be mostly silent; it certainly started out that way, but it picked up after the credits, and then one at a time, the three young stars entered the commentary room with the director and one of the writers to talk. They weren't very annoying since at the time they hadn't seen the finished movie and got wrapped up watching themselves on the screen. They are good actors; they seem very focused on doing their stuff and can be objective about what they're seeing.
-
Next, I watched HUSH HUSH SWEET CHARLOTTE from the Fox/Bette Davis box set. I've always loved this movie. It's too long by at least 10 minutes, but what a joy to have so many fabulous actors in one film. I never tire of seeing it.
-
I watched the "making of" documentary on the disc. There were more stills of Joan Crawford in wardrobe and on the sets for the film than I've ever seen before. I wish they had footage she shot with Moorehead and Cecil Kellaway. Oh, well.
-
Bruce Dern had a 12 minute reminiscence that I also watched with interest. He had a couple of nice stories.
-
Page Thirteen Witch's Demise Dance!!!
-
I looked at the other bonus features on the disc also: lobby cards, posters, pressbook, stills (including the infamous one with everyone standing or leaning on a Coke machine and holding bottles of Coke, taken after Joan "Pepsi" Crawford had left the project).
-
I had seletced the Blu-ray disc of THE UNTOUCHABLES to watch tonight after CHARLOTTE, but I only had an hour left, so I took out a BONES season 2 episode to watch in the remaining time.
This was the one with the glowing bones, a good mystery with a great twist ending.

I see on the calendar that today is the birthday of Phillip Crosby. Is that the Dear Reader who passed away?

I have never seen Duke's, but it sure does sound tasty! I love mayo!

No. I believe Phil Crosby is still alive and well - alas, no longer posting - and living in Richmond, Virginia.

Heading down to bed now.
Good night!

Dennis Clancy passed away several years ago. He was ILuvNY on the old board.

Jose - Do you want the extra VISIT ticket for Friday night?
-
There was also OzDerek. We've lost a few, sadly.
-
Jose - Do you want the extra VISIT ticket for Friday night?
Oh, Yes!
Thank you.
How was Grind?
-
GRIND looks promising. Since they went to the trouble of bringing in and crediting a new bookwriter (Brad Rouse), I assume they have hope for the rediscovery of the show itself, and I sensed that with just a little bit of work, the show could be worthy of another go.
I think our times are better for the racial aspects of the piece. One example of this is that a satirical number about race (called "We All George") was removed originally - according to one of the books about Hal Prince because the performers would not do it - and here it is back in, quite a pointed number, and no one has any problem doing the number.
It was the first time I'd seen the lyricist Ellen Fitzhugh in close to ten years, although of course Skip has talked to her and seen her because of Herringbone, and it was really enjoyable to meet Larry Grossman.

Thanks. I'm gonna try to go tomorrow.
*And I do find it a little curious that they are having a performance on Sunday night... during The Tony's. ???
-
Jim Morgan talked about that. They had scheduled to have the Mon_Sun week ending June 8 off from their Mufti schedule because that was the logical time for the Tonys to have been. But then after all logistic and schedules had been worked out to do GRIND June 9-15, the Tonys decided to be June 15.

Back from Pest Control, about which I'll have much to say in the notes.

In fact, you won't want to miss it.

I'm newbie Mark's "lovely wife," Amy. Thanks for calling me "lovely," Bruce! Sorry this post is so late, but I understand there was a request for the pineapple pie recipe. It's embarrassingly quick and simple, so you'll have plenty of time left in the day to lay around like so much fish or drive around in your motorcar (if you can still afford a tank of gas). Here it is:
In a bowl, mix 1 can crushed pineapple (in juice, not syrup), 1/4 cup sugar, a dash of salt, 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of instant tapioca pudding mix, and 1 squeeze of lemon. Pour the mixture into the bottom pie shell. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to drain off about half the pineapple juice first. I neglected to do this with Bruce's pies, and the filling tends to boil and create large fissures in the top crust, which made them pretty darn ugly pies. Then, lay the top crust on top, pinch the edges together, and poke in the steam holes. Make sure you use just regular size crusts - this is definitely NOT a deep-dish pie. Then, bake for 45 minutes at 400 degrees.
Dear Reader Amy
Welcome, New Dear Reader Amy! And thanks for the pineapple pie recipe. I think I'll make that the next time we have a pot-luck at work. :D
-
And... Goodnight.
-
I have been errant and truant all day! I didn't go to work. My back was hurting when I woke up and I didn't feel like dealing with it and work at the same time, so I called in sick. I feel much better now, so no vibes are needed. :)
-
Good night, Jose.
-
While home today, I watched the last three episodes of "Reaper." I love this show...except that for a guy who just turned 21 years of age, he sure is very comfortable in and a frequent visitor to the local bar. ::)
-
After that, I watched this morning's "The View" and perused other morning shows.
-
Later in the afternoon, I went to my parents' house for dinner and also because their friend Margita came to visit. We've known her since we all lived in Germany at the same time (her ex-husband and my dad were in the army at the same time), when I was from four to seven years old. She now lives in Spokane, Washington (and has for many years) and one of her four sons and his ex-wife live here in Olympia.
-
I then went to Lowe's and bought a new porch light. I'll put it up sometime soon. When I got home, I burned a few movies that I had on my DVD burner, but hadn't made actual DVDs of them, yet. I made DVDs of "I Ought To Be In Pictures (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084109/)" with Walter Matthau and Dinah Manoff, an independent movie called "Primer (http://www.amazon.com/Primer-Brandon-Blagg/dp/B0007N1JC8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1213424091&sr=1-1)" and a documentary called "The Lady in Question Is Charles Busch (http://www.amazon.com/Lady-Question-Charles-Busch/dp/B000GG4XYW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1213424186&sr=1-1)." I also made a DVD of the laserdisc to Bernadette Peters' 1979 live concert (originally recorded for Canadian TV, I think)...in MCA DiscoVision! ;D
-
Right now, I'm watching an episode of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" recorded from earlier today. I love this show! I'm also recording to my DVD burner The Manhattan Transfer's 1982 concert on laserdisc that I think has never been released on DVD. I made an audio CD several years ago, but it's packed away in the garage. Now, I'll have a DVD and a CD. :D
-
That's the one. Thank you, JMK.
-
I almost forgot...in the mail today from Netflix, I received "Who Killed the Electric Car? (http://www.amazon.com/Who-Killed-Electric-Martin-Sheen/dp/B000I5Y8FU/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1213425993&sr=8-1)
-
And now, I must go back to today's page two and ketchup with all the posts.

Thanks, DR Matt H. I was going to post about the initial new Strachey offering on Here!, having seen their ad in the new issue of The Advocate.
On our cable network, Here! is structured so that you pay a nominal amount each month to have the access to their menu of offerings, any of which you can choose to view with no additional per-title fee.
That would be an intelligent way to handle it (though again, a gay network is discriminated against by not being part of the usual digital tier of channels).
How nominal is nominal? $6? $9? $12?
I was wondering if Comcast offered here!, here in Olympia (western Washington) and it's available for only $7.95 a month:
here! offers an exclusive mix of groundbreaking series, authentic original films, acclaimed theatrical releases and award winning documentaries and specials. With new titles added every week, here! brings the best in gay and lesbian entertainment into your home with all the 24/7 convenience On Demand provides. Watch whatever you want, whenever you want, commercial-free. You can even Pause, Fast Forward and Rewind.
I think I may consider this! :D

Where'd everybody go?

We're so close to 400 we may as well go all the way.

I don't know quite how many postings to go but I think we're relatively close.

I'm quite tired.
-
I think I'll chew on two Tums.
-
Perhaps I'll read some smut whilst sucking on the Tums, since Tums IS smut spelled backwards.

400 it is.
