Yesterday I listened to the Kritzerland re-do of the I Do! I Do! revival CD for the first time since we performed it in fall of 2017. (How in the HELL have four and a half years gone by since we did that??) The recording is great, and an essential document of the Schmidt-Jones canon.

Wow, listen to me. “An essential document of the Schmidt-Jones canon.” Sounds impressive! I think I’ll keep it. I must try to remember to casually drop it at parties.

Post by: ChasSmith on May 20, 2022, 05:58:13 AM: I don’t know if anyone here is into H.P. Lovecraft stories, but we here in this household enjoy some of the movies based, however loosely, on them. With the passing of Fred Ward, this homage-y one came to our attention, one I didn’t remember even hearing about, and for my taste it sounds well worth checking out. We’ll be watching it soon on HBO Max, possibly this weekend.

DR John how much of the humungous building you work in is occupied by your company?

The whole building and the other three on the main campus.

Wow. No other businesses then. I mentioned Star Bucks in your large building to Keith and he figured it was like large buildings he had worked in with multiple companies.

The Starbucks near where I sit is the highest money-making store in the whole chain. They charge about $1 more per order than you'd pay at a Starbucks off campus.

Post by: John G. on May 20, 2022, 07:26:38 PM: I have gone back to The Humans, which is a quirky movie. The cast is incredible: Jayne Houdyshell, Richard Jenkins, Amy Schumer, Beanie Feldstein and June Squibb.

I can imagine that most people won't like it. It's a little too arty, and the camera work is, well, intrusive.

Post by: John G. on May 20, 2022, 07:40:39 PM: I don't think I can get into this. I need to put some cream on my back and go to sleep.

Post by: George on May 20, 2022, 08:52:43 PM: So, I totally goobered the choreo of the first song...dopey me. ::)
Title: Re: SHORT AND SWEET
Post by: George on May 20, 2022, 08:52:57 PM: But the rest of the act went well.
Title: Re: SHORT AND SWEET
Post by: George on May 20, 2022, 08:53:39 PM: I saw three theater friends sitting in the second row right where I danced the goobered dance.

Title: Re: SHORT AND SWEET
Post by: George on May 20, 2022, 08:55:51 PM: I didn't notice where he was sitting (front row on the other side of the theater) until the last song where I danced right in front of him.

Post by: TCB on May 20, 2022, 11:49:25 PM: I can’t believe how bad my back is tonight. I felt a twinge last night, but this morning the pain was the worst I have had in five years, or maybe more.

You are applying for five different jobs?

TCB: Thanks for asking--my family members were of course shocked at the killings in Buffalo Saturday. In a way, it's not surprising. It could happen anywhere.

Prayers and vibes for all of your family in Buffalo!

Title: Re: SHORT AND SWEET
Post by: bk on May 21, 2022, 12:02:45 AM: I guess George has given up on finishing the book. Or the hat. In all six weeks of our LA Now and Then run, never once did we go out after the show - I don't understand this generation of actors. When I was an actor and even directing all through even the 2000s we always went out after the show. Now everyone just wants to go home. Phooey.
