After the lousy night before, I slept rather well. I dreamed I was working at the Barnes & Noble store I did work at between 1998 and 2005, and the wonderful manager Patty, my co-worker Steve Cramer (now a published poet), and Sarah - the cash register supervisor and evil bitch - were all in it.

The reason that's been talked about on the chat sites is that the director had a conflicting job at the Public and that WILD PARTY is being delayed to 2026.  I guess there's more to the story.

Maybe a name star became available for WONDERFUL TOWN in this slot?

Today's Word of the Day is one of the most mispronounced of any.

I absolutely hate it when it is turned into a four-syllable word.

It's nothing of the kind.  It has three (count 'em 3) syllables:  MISS-chuh-vuss.

Far too many pronounce it as though it were spelled differently:  Miss-CHEE-vee-uss.  But "vous" is "vuss", and is not "vee-uss".

And no, it has no "alternate" pronunciation.

The bagel in question is Onion and Swiss cheese. At the store I could see some crusty Swiss on it and was interested in trying it. The onion component is fine, but onion bagels already exist. I’d just like more of the Swiss, which seems like it shouldn’t be difficult to manage, but maybe it is.

Last night, because I really like the score for the musical Fields of Ambrosia, I decided to watch its source, the movie The Traveling Executioner, starring Stacy Keach. I got aboput 20 minutes into it when the low volume on the DVD would go no higher on my television and I can only watch it on my computer. I'll try to do that between now and Sunday.

The students this morning were all elementary students, so no Bitches' Brew. In fact, the jazz band honored Davis in a unique way: No trumpeter. But the music was great. There was a piano player, tenor and alto sax, drums and bass. And they played beautifully.

Meanwhile, there was a narrator on stage and recordings of Davis telling his story, plus visuals. It was a bit of a hagiography. No mention of drugs or his mental health state, abusing Cicely Tyson or anything negative. But the music was great. And the kids were attentive.

For ticket pricing, if people really want to see a show, they'll find the $400 or $500 per ticket.  If they're on the fence about seeing a show, not really excited about seeing a show, even $50 or $60 feels too expensive somehow.

Jane:  I am aware that the pronunciation of "mischievous" is often more regional.

Here in Johnston (and, indeed, throughout the south) the most common, and egregious, grammatical faux pas is to state "I seen something".  "Saw" never enters the conversation.

"I know he did it.  My husband seen him leave the house with it in his hands".

Drives me batty some days.

Anyone else, when you were very very young, mis-hear the line "You make the bougainvillaea turn purple at the mention of your name" in "Mame" as something like "You make the blue gainvillaea turn purple at the mention of your name"

And now, I'm watching a completely inept movie from 1972 that I never saw - the only reason it's still on is because it's all shot in LA and while I recognize all the locations, the inept director shoots them in such a way that you never actually see them, other than Dodger Stadium and a shot of the the apartment building in which I lived at the beach, the Shores. A nice establishing shot here and there is always nice.

Don't know about the new song count, but there's definitely a second movie for Act II. As I recall, Schwartz said the problem was that Defying Gravity was designed as the Act I closer. In film, they just couldn't figure out a way to keep going past it without it being such a letdown. (He explained it better than that.) I imagine requiring an intermission wasn't feasible since two movies would be more lucrative.

Watched one hour of a new movie, yet another movie by a "visionary" director - I should have known better to even begin it because when that is what they're using as a selling tool, I'm done with it. Visionary my ASS.

Infotainment as entertainment?? :o

What happened to the shrink function that used to be here?

If it's what I'm thinking of, you have to hotlink an image from an existing website to resize it.  You can't resize in the reply or quick reply box an image that is uploaded through the HHW Attachments and other options function.

I don't know why it couldn't have had an intermission - many, many movie musicals did - The Sound of Music, West Side Story, Finian's Rainbow, Sweet Charity, plus all the roadshow movies had intermissions.

Those who forget the past are doomed to reinvent the wheel for a greater profit.

Where's George's burrito?

Tonight, I had the rest of some leftover angel hair pasta with marinara and cream cheese sauce.
