Well, you've read the notes, you've intuited the point of the notes, the notes have intuited the point of you, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're on the lam from Harold Angels aka The Linguini Killer.

And the word of the day is: FRISSON!

Oh to have seen 10 plays, musicals and/or concerts!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #3 on:** December 22, 2005, 12:14:27 AM »

I spent some time in an operating theatre but I fell asleep. Don't remember a thing. I think the performances were good!

I didn't see 10 shows/concerts this year, but all of those that I saw in NY were fantastic!

Good morning, all! Another day of cleaning house, laundry, a bit of banking, and perhaps some toyland notes. I was feeling puny and earachy last night, so I was in bed by 10 pm, and I got up at 5:30 to learn where things stood on the strike, which is still on. Today should be interesting, though, because people are being summoned to court and the TWA has now put a commercial on television asking the workers to return with no (or few) consequences.

DRJason, have a safe trip! Here's my thanks to the anonymous DR helping you out.

TOD:
Spamalot
Two Gentlemen of Verona
Rent (the show, Again!)
Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire
Transamerica
Brokeback Mountain
Pride & Prejudice
The Wedding Crashers
The Beat My Heart Skipped

Sorry I haven't been able to post. I did try to get on here yesterday morning, but the site was down.

It is sad but I am the healthiest one in my family. Actually i'm quite a bit better. My throat has stopped hurting and it is only slightly scratchy at night.

Anyhow I had to take my sister (who is sick) to the doctors on Tuesday. And then yesterday I had to take her 3 month old baby to the doctor. Originally it was for a slight eye infection (of course her regular doc is closed for the holidays). But she ended up having to get meds for a nose problem as well.

So I had to find them a doctor! The place I wanted to go had to register babies first. But you could only register them after 2pm. But by then all the appointments would be gone. So we ended up registering her when we got home (in case she needs more care). And we went to the clinic. They said they take babies first. But of course when we got there they were disorganized. First trip to talk to the nurse got her file upgraded. Second trip up got them a room to breastfeed. And the strange part is that the nurse put the baby's file in the room and the doc saw her right away!

Very odd that they are telling people on the phone that babies are given priority. Yet when he you get there the nurses don't do it!

Good vibes to DR Danise. So sorry about your troubles. ~~~~~~~~~~

Well I would say MAMMA MIA! to begin with....and do some thinking.

Today is GODZILLA day on the SCI FI channel.

Thanks to all for the good travel vibes - keep 'em coming!!

And again - a zillion thanks to my HHW Angel for driving me to the train station.

I just helped my new roommate move half of his stuff in - the big stuff. Remind me never to move again. Now I have to finish packing, shower and shave and get myself ready to haul all MY stuff to Kentucky!

By the by, according to local news, the MTA and Mr. Tussaint are currently negotiating in Manhattan, which is odd as he is due in court in Brooklyn in 6 minutes. I'd like to know how he thinks he'll get to court without his trains running!

Anyway...sounds like they're trying to resolve it finally. We'll see what happens...keep your fingers crossed!

vixmom · « **Reply #14 on:** December 22, 2005, 08:13:54 AM »

TOD

Jewish Thighs on Broadway
Phantom of the Opera
Fiddler on the Roof
Little Women

Well that covers all the plays I've seen in the city this year!

I'm going to have to think a bit on the TOD. Aside from SPAMALOT, I haven't seen a lot. Did not see TURANDOT. A cold is what I got.

For some odd reason, I've been humming the opening lines of "Everything's Coming Up Roses" to myself, except I keep hearing the "In betwixed, in between" line of Styne's trunk song. Anyone know what the rest of the original lyrics were?

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #23 on:** December 22, 2005, 08:37:44 AM »

One last shopping excursion today and I should be all done. I am actually ahead of myself this year, so maybe--just maybe--I'll have a peaceful little Christmas Eve for a change.

Matt H. · « **Reply #24 on:** December 22, 2005, 08:44:45 AM »

Good morning!

It was 27 degrees when I went out to get the newspaper this morning. It's warmed up to 41 now and supposed to get 10 degrees warmer still before falling again tonight.

Beautiful day otherwise.

Matt H. · « **Reply #25 on:** December 22, 2005, 08:46:17 AM »

Thankfully, everyone at the dinner tonight will have at least ONE gift to open. My best friend John's other two DVDs are in a shipment I expect on Friday or Saturday. But, at least he'll have one thing to open tonight at our gift exchange.

Matt H. · « **Reply #26 on:** December 22, 2005, 08:47:12 AM »

And speaking of holidays, since Christmas falls on Sunday, is Monday going to be a legal holiday for federal workers (i.e. the Post Office)? Will there be mail delivery on Monday?

I'm guessing no.

Matt H. · « **Reply #27 on:** December 22, 2005, 08:52:13 AM »

The most entertaining show for me this year was THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE. It was my favorite of the four shows we saw this summer. I also loved SPAMALOT and DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS.

Closer to home, I saw the national tour of HAIRSPRAY which was superb, a local production of SEUSSICAL which was very entertaining, and a local production of STEEL MAGNOLIAS which I also enjoyed very much.

Matt H. · « **Reply #28 on:** December 22, 2005, 08:52:31 AM »

On the movie front, my favorite film of the year so far has been CAPOTE. For a huge budget film, I also loved HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE and BATMAN BEGINS. RENT was a pleasant surprise and I thouoght GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK was outstanding (and it features some of the footage bk wrote about in the notes today; it was not reenacted by other actors but the actual footage from the Army-McCarthy hearings).

Jason · « **Reply #29 on:** December 22, 2005, 08:53:34 AM »

I am, indeed, packed and freshly showered and shaved.
