Your show & mine both open tomorrow DRMATTH.

Holly the zaftig Sharpei has to have some surgery, and it may be scheduled for tomorrow - so I may not make it to the show until Friday evening....the luxury of being a choreographer and NOT a performer.

Dan (the Man) the tree is much prettier. If I were looking at the pole I too would air my grievances.

Good health and possibly surgery vibes to Holly.

Thank you, DR tcb. From one performer to another, you know I wish you continued success in SCROOGE. Your run is much longer than our NUNCRACKERS run, as I recall.

Well hopefully, MattH, you get a nice long run. Our SCROOGE ends December 19.

(It took me three tries to type "ends".)

I am in the library for the third time today. These term papers are going to drive me to drinking (Cherry Coke, that is). This time I'm trying to find some stuff I can use as sources in my Shakespeare paper. By now, I could probably find my way to the Shakespeare/ Keats/ all those other dead guys section with my eyes shut. That's really saying something given the maze-like layout they have here. It's like a Vegas casino, only nowhere near as much fun.

I'm starting to have trouble keeping up, so here's a blanket statement (sheepskin):
Good health vibes and broken legs (not literal) to all who need them of desire them!

I don't know if any DRs read Peter Filichia's column on TheaterMania.com, but two weeks ago he did an article, BABES IN NEVERLAND, on the musical theatre project I've been working on. It's an interesting article.

Interesting is too generous a word. Reading it over again, it struck me how Filichia was trying to find something to write about when he had nothing to write about. His column is like that a lot.

I think it would be a swell idea if everyone posts photos of their holiday decorations this month.

I have to feed the Abester and get ready for a late meeting. Laters!

bk · « **Reply #105 on:** December 01, 2004, 03:09:34 PM »

I'm back from meeting part two. It was with the producer but my pal Bill Stout was added to the mix. The producer wants conceptual art to help sell the film, and I recommended Bill since there is nobody better. Well, the producer was bowled over by him and Bill is now on board. Very happy am I. What am I, Yoda all of a sudden?

DRDerBrucer, how do people with stunted brains like Gerald Allen get elected to positions of responsibility. Who's protecting the children from his heterosexual agenda?

The obvious one-word reply would be "Alabama," but that could be offensive to a lurker out there. Sorry, lurker! $:-\$

I am not completely familiar with TAR as yet - but it seems that if one team was extremely lucky - it might complete a task and get to the IKEA or train station before it closed and get ahead. Although I think it's nice that everyone eventually ends up starting a new task at the same time. My favorite team right now is Adam and Rebecca!

I think that if I had arrived at Ikea and found that it was closed, I would have gone looking for a loading dock and checked to see if there was a night crew who would let me in once I explained that I was with TAR. But more than likely the Swedish probably don't believe in the concept of the graveyard shift.

OMG DR Elmore, I meant Bell's not Ball's.

Oops.

Btw, for those who watch the Apprentice there is a recap show tonight with new footage.

MORE THE AMAZING RACE TALK SPOILERS!!!!!

Quote from: Dan (the Man) on December 01, 2004, 12:59:13 PM

I don't think that the counting would have been easy for me at all. On look at that hamper of little stuffed dogs and I would have made a beeline for desk assembly area in nothing flat.

Even if one partner is not good at counting. Just have the one that is count in twos. And have them both do it at the same time.

The thing I don't get is why the show's producers come up with these destinations that wind up as bottlenecks, like last night's train station and the Ikea store that didn't open until a certain hour. It seems to me to defeat the advantage of lead time any of the teams might have if they are all going to group up at the same spot at the same time. Did this happen in any of the other runs of the show?

To me there is a difference between what happened this week and what happened last week. I think it is perfectly fine if an IKEA opens at a certain time. The planners of the show probably had no idea if the teams would be doing the challenge at night or during the day.

But at least there was plenty of stuff after that for the leaders to shine.

Last week I was very upset because they bottlenecked all the teams and there was only one small task left till elimination. To me THAT is what is unfair. I don't think the leaders should be penalized like that.

And OMG, I HATE REBECCA and teammate! (another DR said they love them).

Well, as a person in the middle of the situation, I thought he was doing fine investigating a project that started so grandly and that suddenly vanished from sight. There were a lot of good musical theatre and operatic personnel involved and a lot of others hoping to work on the next round of recordings. I get asked a lot, including my BK Unseemly Interview, about whatever happened to the project, and I can say nothing. There's a gentleman in Kansas City who calls the office about twice a year asking when the recordings are coming out, and I can tell him nothing. I think Peter's look into what's going on was pretty good.

Does anyone still wear a toque? Or a tuque?

This is from the Nelson Canadian Dictionary.

toque [pronounced toke]. 1. See tuque. 2. A woman's small, brimless, close-fitting hat.

tuque or toque [pronounced toook or tyoook]. A knitted cap in the form of a cylindrical bag often with tapered ends, worn with one end tucked into the other.

Uh oh, no posts for almost an hour. BK is going to start bitch-slapping... Oh, wait, I'm BK. And yes, bitch-slapping will begin posthaste if someone doesn't hastepost.

Okay, BK. Here's my post of the moment: what's your opinion of my "dilemma?" And don't hold back...tell it like it really is!

DRLaura is your house decorated yet? Will you be the first to post a pic. We still have clothes from our closet all over the living room furniture, all but one love seat. We had to leave that free of clutter for Bogie since he likes to nap there from time to time.

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer is having it's 40th anniversary tonight. Strangely, that fact doesn't make me feel old. If anything, watching it brings out the little kid in me (not that it takes much for that to happen.)

I'm watching it drinking a big cup of hot cocoa made from scratch with Hershey's cocoa powder.

Arrgh! It's the Abominable Snow Monster! I got to go hide under the afghan!

I think your dilemma is delimit. Refresh my memory so I don't have to hunt through the postings.

I'm going to have my first food of the day, since the fruit I had prior to the dental work.

Whew! It's okay--Yukon Cornelius helped Rudolph and Hermey escape.

So here's an age-old question: why was that pig-tailed dolly on the Island of Misfit toys?
