I see by the ol’ tangents homepage, that there are two blogs which have yet to see any posts. I am certain that these two very talented and resourceful individuals can come up with brilliant things to pique our curiosity. One of them has vowed to make her first posting AFTER April 1st. It is now nearing April 7th.
As for my day, I spent a few hours typing the script for a new version of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The only things I know about the original movie musical is that it featured the original Catwoman (Julie Newmar) as one of the brides and there is a lot of dancing involved. Obviously, it deals with a group of seven brothers in search of seven brides. This version transports the action to twenty-first century Alaska and the age of laptop computers among other phenomena of the day. There is music and very little dancing (none that I could not handle, anyway) involved.
Then, I WAS looking forward to opening day. The outcome was not pleasurable at least for the Bronx Bombers and their multi-million dollar lead off pitcher, C.C. Sabathia. Four and two-thirds innings. Six runs, eight hits, five walks, two wild pitches in one inning, and no strikeouts. The Yanks’ second big money hopeful, Mark Teixeira did not fare well either going 0-4 at the plate. Teixeira was also eyeballed during the off-season by the Baltimore Orioles and the Orioles faithful showed their disaproval as they booed the Maryland native unmercifully at each at bat. The pressure for any new Yankee must be immense. It was a good thing that opening day was not at the new stadium because I am sure that the reaction would not have been pretty by fans in the Bronx. Ah, well one game down. Can only go up from here. At least the Cubbies were victorious. Sorry j, I see the Tigers were unsuccessful on opening day as well.
I have the original movie of Seven Brides, etc. You are more than welcome to borrow it. I kind of like it. Yes, there is a LOT of dancing, in one scene in particular. Good luck!!!!
Thanks so much for typing that – hope it wasn’t too painstaking! And we shouldn’t nag the absent blogger – she might get turned off and NEVER post! But I agree – I think she could find plenty to post about if she puts her mind to it – her life isn’t boring! She could start by sharing some of that marvelous trivia she knows!
No problem. I was glad to do it and it gave a peek at the script. Kinda cute.
Jamiahsh: editor? Like you, I would do away with dancing too! 😀
