For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cos you believed
In everything I am
BERCEUSE you loved meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Good morning, all.

A lousy sleep.  Absolutely lousy.  Went to bed with eight hours ahead of me, but what with the cold, and since I had to arise at 7:00 sharp to get to the school for a morning show, I ended up tossing and turning damned near all night, with weird annoying repeating dreams to boot.

Coffee!  Oh, here it is.  And I must hit the shower in five minutes.  Oy!

I was in a middle of a dream when I got a text and woke me up. I was dreaming of people I never met. Not even people who I may have seen on tv, on the street or at work in passing. The situation was scripted as a Canadian spinoff version of Law and Order. Ane then I woke up in the dream and it was raining out and it was Saturday.

Then woke up for real.

too many to chose from, but her best recordings were from the 60's. The weren't in my opinion over produced and edited to perfection.

But if I have to chose 5 songs

Good morning, all! Around 2:15, I was awakened to the sound of something rattling about in the kitchen, and sure enough, I'd caught the mouse! It had become stuck to a peanut-butter-scented glue trap. I picked up the trap and tossed it down the incinerator chute. After the cleanup, I was too excited to go back to sleep, so I played on the computer for around 30 minutes and went back to bed around 3am or so. So I slept late this morning.

I will shortly head down to Toyland to wait for the delivery of 25 copies of the vocal score, check them out, and then head to the radiologist at 95th and Second Avenue and get this foot x-rayed.

I read a story on facebook yesterday that has made me feel sick all day.  A facebook friend of mine's (an author her name is Kristine Cheney) grand-daughter is very sick.  They found out yesterday that she has a grapefruit size tumor near her kidney that is cancerous.  I don't know this woman personally. But have followed her story for a while.

I feel so sick for this little girl (Evie they call her "Chicken"). She is maybe 3 or so.  I thought maybe anyone who wants to could include her in their prayers.

Title: Re: THE DEED IS DONE
Post by: Jennifer on May 02, 2013, 06:21:57 AM
This is what Corbin Bernsen (Jeanne Cooper's son wrote on his facebook page today):
Purgatory. Best way I can describe an indescribable day. Waiting... with swings toward the Peace of Heaven and the Fires of Hell and everything in between. And choices. Choices I never wanted to be faced with. Highs and Lows. At one point mom "left the building" - yes, she was gone, only to come back through the front door, kicking and screaming. A Doctor remarked, "I've been in this situation a thousand times before and have NEVER seen this!" The fighter is out of her corner, amazing us all. Okay, enough with descriptive BS... Long story short, rough, rough day. She's back to square one. I don't want to disclose at this point the specific "illness" though I'm sure many of you are curious. But I don't want a thousand comments about that. Not at this point. In time I will share it all. Just know that she is back in critical condition and needs your continued prayers. As for me. Honestly, I'm a bit lost, in this place - this purgatory - of truly being unsure where we are headed or what is best for her. I also toil with my choices and wonder if they are for me, for all of us... or truly for her. I'm in a haze of uncertainty about that and will be reflecting on it this evening, praying for guidance. In my heart, I see future, I see a fight and though I don't know the quality of that future I can't deny the sanctity of life. A tremendous battle raging inside. I wish I could have better news, or simply be more clear, but these words are a reflection of my state of mind. God Bless you all for your kindness here

Well, when I'm wrong I admit it.

Turns out that there are real rush tickets for I'll Eat You Last, not just student rush. $35 for the last row of the balcony in the Booth Theatre. I'll pay that, so I may see Bette after all. We (my theatre buddy and I) just have to come up with a date.

They also have real rush tickets ($37) for Pippin so I have to find a time for that.

No rush for Matilda though, but I'm not burning to see that. Based on what I read I have some reservations. Some love it, some hate it or at least don't think it's the greatest piece of Musical Theatre since Billy Elliot (which I admit I was not taken with, didn't hate it but didn't love it either).

And I will never forget what I believe was Pauline Kael's review of FUNNY GIRL....she called it a "gilded broccoli."

And the comment of director William Wyler on anything not right in FUNNY GIRL: "You have to understand, it was the first movie Miss Streisand ever directed."

Former DR Jason seems to  be having a wonderful time in Arizona, thanks to DR Laura!

I was a big fail... as Jason was in Portland (Oregon) last week. I knew he was coming, but I thought it was to be in summer...and then all of a sudden he was there and I was preoccupied that weekend and was unable to show him a good time.

Fortunately, he may be back next January, and I hope to be better organized at that time as I would love to see him again!

This is what Corbin Bernsen (Jeanne Cooper's son wrote on his facebook page today):
Purgatory. Best way I can describe an indescribable day. Waiting... with swings toward the Peace of Heaven and the Fires of Hell and everything in between. And choices. Choices I never wanted to be faced with. Highs and Lows. At one point mom "left the building" - yes, she was gone, only to come back through the front door, kicking and screaming. A Doctor remarked, "I've been in this situation a thousand times before and have NEVER seen this!" The fighter is out of her corner, amazing us all. Okay, enough with descriptive BS... Long story short, rough, rough day. She's back to square one. I don't want to disclose at this point the specific "illness" though I'm sure many of you are curious. But I don't want a thousand comments about that. Not at this point. In time I will share it all. Just know that she is back in critical condition and needs your continued prayers. As for me. Honestly, I'm a bit lost, in this place - this purgatory - of truly being unsure where we are headed or what is best for her. I also toil with my choices and wonder if they are for me, for all of us... or truly for her. I'm in a haze of uncertainty about that and will be reflecting on it this evening, praying for guidance. In my heart, I see future, I see a fight and though I don't know the quality of that future I can't deny the sanctity of life. A tremendous battle raging inside. I wish I could have better news, or simply be more clear, but these words are a reflection of my state of mind. God Bless you all for your kindness here

I have read many of FB posts that friends have shared.  I have found them very touching, none as much as this one.

Just got a message from a friend in Austin who just finished making a movie with Bert I. Gordon. I don't think it's a sequel to Attack of the Puppet People, but here's hoping it's just as good.

It is a shame Susan couldn't be here to have participated in the movie.

Terrence Hill, the star of many spaghetti westerns, is now my friend on Facebook, I am pleased to say.

He still looks quite good!

I looked him up and he does still look good, unless that is an old photo ;)
I also noticed he has an unusual spelling of his name.  There is only on t in Terence.

Regarding yesterday's mention of NETFLIX STREAMING...although the licenses on a whole lot of films in their library expired yesterday (thankfully, all of the Vera Hruba Ralston films are still available to watch!), they managed to add a ton of titles today...lots of interesting stuff, old and new.

One thing I really love about NETFLIX STREAMING is the selection of documentaries. Some days when I feel like watching something, but nothing I have on DVD appeals to me at that moment, I always seem to find something of interest in the documentary section of NETFLIX STREAMING.

Tonight (actually, in less than an hour), I'm going to leave work to usher downtown for Los Folkloristas (http://www.washingtoncenter.org/upcoming-events/2013/5/2/los-folkloristas.html).  I'm sure that it'll be a great concert!

Quote
Having celebrated their 45th anniversary season in 2011, Mexico’s "Los Folkloristas" continue their mission set in 1966 "to preserve and record the traditional music of Mexico and Latin America." Carrying more than 100 instruments in their collection, and performing music from up to 15 different countries and pre-Columbian Mexico, a performance with this seven-member ensemble is like taking a musical journey through Latin America. As ambassadors of traditional Latin folk music, "Los Folkloristas" successes include the release of more than 30 albums world-wide.

But have followed her story for a while.

I feel so sick for this little girl (Evie they call her "Chicken"). She is maybe 3 or so.  I thought maybe anyone who wants to could include her in their prayers.

They frequently lose the license on these titles. But there's note in your queue that gives you a few days warning, which helps. I notice that many times the license is renewed rather quickly. They have a wonderful selection of old film noir, which I love.

Had an unpleasant start to rehearsals, after which things got better.  The person who was not prepared at ALL the other day was not much better today and I'm afraid I got terse about it - not in general, but she kept mispronouncing words in the Typische Deutsche song (like the two words in the title), so I said stop, and pronounced them from her, and she went off on me in a way that no one should ever go off on me, telling me it's a rehearsal and she needs her rehearsal and it's not this and it's not that.  I explained to her calmly that we have a way of doing these shows that is successful, that I have had incredible people in them who show up prepared, blah, blah, blah.  And then I did the smart thing and just shut up, even though my instinct was to throw her out of the room.  We make the deal very clear - it's why the singers are paid.  Adyran Russ even e-mailed her prior to the first rehearsal reminding her of the way we do things.  She's also had this material for over two weeks.  She started complaining that one of her songs was really four songs - Adryan couldn't believe it, because while I use parts of the four woman songs from Stop the World, it's all basically the same damn song - it's four minutes and is no different than any other put-together that's in this show.  But it does require learning.  It didn't help that on Monday she took twenty minutes of the next performer's time, throwing us hugely behind - all because she didn't know the tunes of her songs.  It didn't help that she cancelled  a Tuesday work session that SHE asked to have.  And it didn't help that she arrived ten minutes late today and again took up fifteen minutes of the next performer's time. 

I have no idea if she'll show up on Saturday and do what she did today - spread her lyric sheets all over the piano.  I am not comfy with her at all, and, of course, it will be her first and last time in a Kritzerland show and she will not be working for me again.  She's a very talented gal, though.  But because Adryan and I were both uncomfortable with her display, we have asked a young gal to cover her - the young gal will learn the songs, work with the musical director tomorrow and be ready to come over on Saturday if I don't like what I see at the stumble-through.  I hate this crap and frankly while we've had the occasional hiccup here and there, the one thing no singer has ever done with me, even the couple that I've had to be strong with, is go off like that and behave like an amateur.  What she effectively did today was take away the one time I have to work with the performers on their performance - had she been prepared all would be well, but she wasn't, Blanche, she wasn't.  End of rant.

Good night everyone, I am beyond tired.

Nothing bothers me right now, maybe being beyond tired is the way to go  ???

Oh! I read that you walked around your house, then saw the photo from New Mexico. Oops. I guess that your walk near your house does NOT include NM. But the photos you've shown us from your 'hood are indeed breathtaking.

I'm sorry the singer is misbehaving, BK. I hope she straightens up before the show.

BK, that rehearsal sounds dreadful. No one should have to put up with someone who is unprepared in that way. Hope it works out for the best.
