I'm watching "Nashville" right now.  After that, I'm going to start recording some of the PBS specials (Sweeney Todd, The Nance, Porgy and Bess, Michael Feinstein) onto my sister's boyfriend's laptop that he loaned me.  He can burn them onto Blu-ray discs for me!  It'll take a while to get them all recorded, but he said that I could borrow the laptop for several weeks.

I don't think I knew that.  "The Sound of Music" (on NBC) was also only released on DVD and I would assume that "Peter Pan" will be, too.  Larry (my sister's boyfriend) has already made a Blu-ray of "TSoM" for me.

I confess I've watched very few British shows, but I love "Absolutely Fabulous". And when Mark and I were in England, we enjoyed watching the British programming in our hotel room. I saw one episode of a sit-com that seemed to have half American actors and I think it was called "Centre Stage". It was hysterical. We also liked a do-it-yourself handyman instructional show called "Big Strong Boys". Mostly we liked the name and we still make jokes about it even though we saw probably ten years ago.

The funds from my insurance were finally deposited in my bank account this morning. Whew! I can go buy a car tonight. I think I've settled on getting a Mazda2, even though I haven't test-driven one yet. Mark discovered on hertz.com, they have a rent-2-buy program where I can rent a car for three days and then buy it. They have a bright red 2013 Mazda2 with about 47,000 miles on it waiting for me at the Burbank airport. It's the "touring" trim level, so it has all the bells and whistles I like. And it's about $1,500 cheaper than anything I've found comparable. We'll go pick it up after work. I hope I like it!

For JRand and who else is interested --  I enjoyed "You Can't Take It With You" very much, though I was a little disappointed that Rose Byrne, who plays older daughter Alice was not in he show.  Her understudy was good, though.  It was a treat to see James Earl Jones as Grandpa.  And Kristine Nielsen was very funny.  Elizabeth Ashley was a hoot as the Countess.  Julie Halston made the most of her role.

I went yet again to see Mr. Barrett at the Metropolitan Room, this time with DR Ben.  Brent was at his best and was very emotional as he thanked John Kander, who was in the audience.  Mr. Kander graciously got up from his booth and gave Brent a hug.   It was so nice having Ben there.

Yes, it was quite an evening. Brent was in great voice and Mr. Kander, at 87, is quite amazing. He didn't play the piano or anything like that but his presence was exciting. When the performance was over people flocked to him (and Brent). Life Is What You Do and Quiet Thing were both very moving, in different ways. Brent obviously loves what he's doing and it shows on stage.

Thanks, Kevin for the opportunity to see BB.

A truly twisted sentence. This comes from a library catalog description of a movie called "Man of the West."

"Screen legend Gary Cooper (Vera Cruz) powerfully demonstrates why he will forever be remembered as one of the most original and authentic stars of the screen."

Is it Gary or is it Vera? I can never get those two straight.

Since none of these are going to be released at all, it'll be great to have actual Blu-rays of them. :D


I thought that THE NANCE was going to be released .  Not Blu-Ray, but on DVD.

I don't think I knew that.  "The Sound of Music" (on NBC) was also only released on DVD and I would assume that "Peter Pan" will be, too.  Larry (my sister's boyfriend) has already made a Blu-ray of "TSoM" for me.


And what extras did Larry put on the Blu-ray?

Long story short --

My car's battery warning light came on, and is probably indicating that belts are worn or that the alternator is not charging the battery, so the battery itself was discharging -- and just when you need it most; e.g., driving at night, in the rain, using heat, and all that good stuff that runs off the electrical system.  It didn't "go away" or "fix itself", so I used AAA to find an approved garage to leave the car with overnight, and they drove me down the street to a motel.  Hopefully they can fix the issue(s) upon starting their day around 8:00 in the a.m. tomorrow morning!  And I'll take a few vibes on that, if'n ya'all don't mind, thanks in advance!!  :)

The funds from my insurance were finally deposited in my bank account this morning. Whew! I can go buy a car tonight. I think I've settled on getting a Mazda2, even though I haven't test-driven one yet. Mark discovered on hertz.com, they have a rent-2-buy program where I can rent a car for three days and then buy it. They have a bright red 2013 Mazda2 with about 47,000 miles on it waiting for me at the Burbank airport. It's the "touring" trim level, so it has all the bells and whistles I like. And it's about $1,500 cheaper than anything I've found comparable. We'll go pick it up after work. I hope I like it!

Rent to buy, I like that.  VIBES YOU WANT TO BUY!!!

Has anybody here seen the Angelina Jolie movie Maleficent?  I am wondering how suitable it is for kids?  I am guessing that there is zero chance that my 5 year old niece would watch it. She is scared of everything. But my older niece (just turned 9) really wants to see it.  I am hoping it will be okay for her. I just got the dvd from the library.

Car vibes for ChasSmith.

Amy, I hope you like the Mazda 2. I love my Mazda 3.

Had a 20% off coupon for Barnes and Noble, so I got the Jacques Demy set today for half off, plus 20% more and then my member discount. So, with tax, the box set was under $50. Thanks again, ChasSmith.

Back from Beautiful, which I suspected I would not like and which I ended up pretty much loving.  Then dinner at Joe Allen.

Bruce, when you get home you really need to watch SCOTT & BAILEY. First-rate writing. Season 1 gets off to a good start and keeps up the pace, with a marvelous season climax. From the creator of HAPPY VALLEY. Netflix disc or Amazon.
