Maybe I will get home from Rehearsal in time to see it!!!

DR Cason - It looks like I will have very short session today. If you want to meet up later this afternoon, just give me a call. And, no, we don't have to got to the Reservoir. *Although, if you'd like to venture to Splash tonight for "Musical Mondays", well... That could be fun.

As for the Topic of the Day...

"The Girl from Ipanema" and "Concorvado" since they were in the Reader's Digest music collection my parents kept on the piano. -I loved that whole book! And still have it!

I'm going to be running to Brooklyn here shortly and then stopping at a place downtown - but after that, I'm free -- so I will indeed give you a call once my errands have been run!

Brenda's daddy is played by Barry Corbin, best known as Maurice Minifield the retired astronaut, on NORTHERN EXPOSURE. He's great and the part is well written; a real Southern daddy!

Barry Corbin was a real favorite of Angela Lansbury's, too, and she used him often on MURDER SHE WROTE. He and Ken Swofford (who had some problems with drug addiction and since her children had beat it, she wanted to keep him working so he could, too) were probably her most frequently used guest stars.

Good morning!

Had a longer night's sleep than I have had for the past two or three weeks, so that was nice.

What wasn't so nice is that the DSL was out of commission when I first tried to log on this morning. Tried everything I could think of to get it to reboot, and then just shut everything down, went down and cleaned up for lunch outing later, and then came back up and everything was back on-line.

The internet is a wonderous thing.

I love doing shows, but when one has a large part, learning those lines is SUCH an ordeal, at least for me. They usually come pretty quickly, but I put a lot of pressure on myself to get off book as soon as possible.

Can't wait for THE CLOSER tonight, and I'll be checking out SAVING GRACE again since DR Edi's friend said tonight's is a better episode than the previous ones.

Matt H. · « **Reply #72 on:** August 13, 2007, 08:15:00 AM »

At some point over the weekend, the DVR picked up Doris Day's JULIE. I haven't seen this in many years, so that's what I'll be watching this afternoon after I finsh watching the outtakes on the HOT FUZZ DVD.

The DVD also has a pop-up trivia mode which I'll use the next time I watch the movie.

Barry Corbin is old friends with G.W. Bailey, a.k.a. Provenza, so I'm sure they had a blast working together. He will be appear in several episodes, along with Mama (Francis Sternhagen).

Matt H. · « **Reply #74 on:** August 13, 2007, 08:15:41 AM »

And if my Charlie Chan box set comes today, I'll watch one of those before THE CLOSER this evening. They're all pretty short, so it should be a problem to do that.

I believe, then, that would make it "The Order of Sir Jack Bailey".

Isn't Fastuous the holiday George's family invented from SEINFELD?

No, that was "Festivus", but "Fastuous" could be a holiday for somebody.

I think if you give it 4 shots and don't like it, then you've been more than fair!

I remember "Julie" as being rather tense and exciting, with Doris as a "stewardess" (IIRC) having to land a plane.

I will also say that I love the interrogation scene in this episode!

I'm going to pay off my house this week. I've lived here for 27 years and bought it for $26K. Oh, those were the days...

Of course, it was in such a crime-ridden slum that my mother cried when she saw it, but now it will be surrounded by $300K to $700K houses. Who knows if they will sell, though, in this market!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #81 on:** August 13, 2007, 08:27:23 AM »

And Eliza, The Dogs, and the Guards have left the building. For now.

LUNCH!

I detest memorization, and it gets harder and harder for me every year...

If anyone has any methods that work for them, please let me know!!

DR Edi - when we did that almost 2 years ago, all I could think of was hearing my mother say, "And their house is paid off!" She was always talking about OLD people! But it is a good feeling and I congratulate you.

I know Im young and my experience pales in comparison to the great and vast amount of HHW stories, but here is my two cents...

Never put the script down until you know it. I am a terror and a bore when I get a script, because it is all I think about for a few days. I will get up in the middle of the night to check that the lines I am saying constantly in my head are right. But, it works, because I am always the first one in the cast to be off book. I had to be to survive being cast as leads when I was a sophomore, the seniors would have eaten me alive if I wasn't perfect.

I'm up, I'm up. Very pretty outside. I have to sign the designer contracts and fax them back in the next hour. I got a couple of orders in this morning, but I think I'll ship them tomorrow.
