Well, I didn’t get the job with Holland America Cruises.  I figured my travel agent experience was kind of ancient history, abut I thought I would give it a shot.

That's too bad.

So I bought a lot of seven laserdiscs on eBay that arrived today!

Well, I can't actually sit straight at all, but you know what I mean.


Do you do anything straight?

I barely got through the reading, voice-wise - just these damn allergies plus having the air on the whole time. But it was fine - who can sing twenty-one things in a row? Yikes.

It all went swimmingly and there's a nice show here - I made notes as we went, marked cuts including one entire scene in act one, noted some characters who need fleshing out and to be more compelling (a side plot), and two songs that need to change - lyrically just not doing the right things. Once we figure out how those lyrics should go then I can address the music. And right now, the ending is soft - it's the movie ending - but it just doesn't feel right here. All along, I've said that we should think about a new ending, a kind of coda and that's what I think we'll try, at least.

I got the "Deluxe Letter-Box Edition" laserdiscs to Fiddler on the Roof, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (sealed), and Man of La Mancha (also sealed).

I also got Funny Face, Rodgers & Hammerstein: The Sound of Movies, Leonard Bernstein Conducts West Side Story: The Making of the Recording (sealed) and the original Broadway production of Into the Woods.  Including shipping, the cost was only $22.97! ;D

That's great, BK!  Congrats on making it through, even if barely!

And Tom, you've reached a millstone to be acknowledged:


Thank you, George.

This is interesting (well, to me, at least)...but the Leonard Bernstein Conducts West Side Story: The Making of the Recording that I got doesn't say on the outer packaging that it's a laserdisc, it says "CD VIDEO."  I've never heard of that term.

It also says, "This disc is compatible with other laser-optical productions bearing this mark." And this is the mark that's on the packaging:

So, I would think (hope?) that I can at least play it in my laserdisc player.  It is the size of a 12-inch laserdisc, not a 4.75-inch CD-sized Video CD, which is something else, entirely.
