Now I shall attempt to write a bloody word.

Actually, I lied - I wrote about ten bloody words before I left this morning.

So it is written, so it shall be done - page 10.

Will we never get to page eleven?

We need more BRAIN reviews, you lazy people out there in the dark.

Here are some bloody words for you:

Plasma.

Platelets.

Artery.

Question for you SHOO-BIZ type peoples.

I have a copy of the 40th Anniversary issue of Variety (1973/74) and there are two FULL PAGE ads from somebody named Jeanne Baird.

One is a photo of said person....the other is some type of fable about a little blonde girl being eaten by wolves.

IMDB lists some credits and says she is Victoria Meyerink's mother (is that the little girl who was on Danny Kaye's show?) ... who the hell is Jeanne Baird?

Dear BK and other Dear Readers,

What are your feelings regarding toe socks? What about the practice of wearing socks with sandals? Do you prefer plain all-one-color socks or socks with patterns, stripes, and so on?

And why am I thinking about socks all of a sudden?

Sandra · « **Reply #279 on:** February 28, 2007, 04:51:51 PM »

Toe socks: I'm for 'em!

Socks with sandals: I can't help but laugh whenever I see this, and I have no idea why.

The plain/fancified debate: I subscribe to the fancified school of sockery.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #280 on:** February 28, 2007, 04:53:46 PM »

No socks with my sandals, DR SANDRA....but I do like closed-toe sandals...dancer's feet, you know.

Patterned socks for dressing up....white crew socks with gray toes/heels just because they are easy to find and buy. I also have some plain white crew socks for sneakers and casual wear.

Right now I am wearing white crew socks, one has gray toe and heel, the other is gray from toe to heel including the sole....I do not know where their mates are.

I haven't done a press release on those two sites because it's not really a theater album. I have posted on All That Chat and the broadwayworld message board.

No, but Shire's strong ties to the theater might be sufficient to attract their interest.

What are "toe" socks, pray?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #284 on:** February 28, 2007, 04:58:07 PM »

Are they anything like "finger cots"?

Here is one of the drawings that Mae-Ling Goldstein drew yesterday. You can see the heart in pink and stripes. Her daddy is on the right. You can see the love in his heart.

At this point, Mae-Ling told me that her daddy needs to get married.

Then she drew Miss Low-a (me) to the left of her daddy. You can see the love in my heart, too.

She informed me that I could marry her daddy.

Wouldn't a "hit" on this here site be the number of times folks visited?

Instead of staying "logged in", we should each get out of HHW.com, then reenter. Get out. Reenter. Get out. Reenter.

Don't know how many times each we should do this.

If 10 of us worked at -- did it 300 times -- the final record would be set.

But with folks tending to stay logged on all day, this is a record that probably won't break easily.

Two-toned pink stripey socks, my Stupid Pants, and my blue Aragog (from Harry Potter) shirt (which, incidentally, was a big hit at preschool today because Brandon LOVES Spiderman [the way I love Cherry Coke] and, by extension, spiders. He was talking about my shirt all day).

Back from the Music Center function, which was basically a press conference for the New Musicals venture happening in LA in 2008. It was the usual back-clapping affair, with lots of speeches and bragging. There were some musical performances by Stephen Schwartz, Jason Robert Brown, Georgia Stitt, Michael Arden, and Jason Alexander - in other words - the LA clique of which I've never been a part. They all sang songs of their own concocting. The Arden song from his proposed musical version of - wait for it - Ripley (not based on the Ripley of Believe It Or Not, which would at least be interesting - but The Talented Mr. Ripley, maybe the stupidest idea for a musical I've ever heard) was the worst - no shape, no line, and its repeated use of one character name - Dickie - does not work in a lyric - it is amusing, not its intended effect. The JRB song (from a musical version of Honeymoon In Vegas - when will this madness stop???) took a long time to find its joke, but was okay - he really had to "sell" the song, like an actor, instead of just letting the song speak for itself. Georgia's song was cute, Stephen's song was not one of his best, and Jason A's song was - well, we like Jason A. as an actor, and I don't think songwriting is necessarily going to be his strong suit.

Is Jason Alexander also a creator on the MARTY musical, or just hoping to play the lead?

Here's a question for anyone that wants to answer. I've been reading Ted Chapin's book "Everything Was Possible" The story about the rehearsal process for "Follies" and it's quite good. Of course it has made me listen to everything "Follies" that's been recorded. Realizing the Original Broadway Cast is the best, what do people think about the PaperMill recording or "Follies In Concert"?

I value the Papermill for its near completeness (there are some cuts in "Loveland," and I think the mix is poor in a few spots. I was at the Folllies in concert event, but it wasn't FOLLIES for me: too upbeat, too many adjustments to the score to accommodate stars, and I thought Mandy Patinkin's ego way over the top in "Buddy's Blues." When Barbara Cook, at the end of the evening, said "I'm so glad I came," I thought, this ain't the FOLLIES I love. Sally is truly unhinged at the end, and the conclusion of the show should be unsettling and melancholic. Why do you think so many hated the original with such vehemence?

I have the FOLLIES CONCERT and the London Cast Recording and OBC in vinyl. I don't have a preference only because I don't know the show well.

Sandra, you are at the age when sox is one those subjects that is bound to dominate all of your waking moments.

Just came from a festive Mexican dinner with my mother, sister, and brother-in-law. My sister and her husband, who live in Michigan, have been in Florida for a couple of weeks and are staying at my mom's until the weather looks clear enough up north for them to head home. They may be here a while.

Good Evening!

Well, that was nice surprise... Since I was about to head out to get something to eat... And since DR Cillaliz wanted to grab a bite to eat after her trip in... I headed on down to the Edison, and then guided Cillaliz over to 9th Avenue, and headed up to 54th. We ended up supping at El Centro - a nice little Mexican place.

Good food. Good drinks. Good company. Good conversation.

After dinner we walked around Times Square until I needed to head back down underground to catch the train back uptown. -"Idol", ya know. (Sad, but true.) As for DR Cillaliz.... Well, she's a grown woman. I'm sure she'll be fine.
