The American Red Cross is up in arms about the current Broadway offering of Dracula citing that it shows irresponsible transfusion methods as well as mocking the use of blood for non medical procedures during a time of high concern for the current supply. An American Red Cross spokesperson could not be reached to confirm..I for one think this is outrageous, where were they during Dance of the Vampires?!

my friend toll me that real blood is used. she said that each nite before the actors go on stage they draw blood from of them to use that night! omg. LOL. of course that only form the lower actors. the stars don't have to give blood. well, just on saterday and wensday because their are two shows.

my friend says she is going to offer her blood. she is going to the theater early and knock on the stage door about 2 hours before the show starts.

Meh. Nice try, though.

OMG!!!!!!!!

This is unreal! I was gonna get to the stage door early to see if the cast would sign, but maybe now I can get them to sign in their own blood! It would be amazing! Do you think if I left my baseball cap for Tom Hewitt to sign he'd do it in his own blood? I'd wundder if I'd get the cap back, though. Ya gotta be careful about these things. Rember what happened to that Bronte lady!

I have a big collection of baseball caps--all from Broadway shows. When my gym teacher, Coach Boldly, asks what team I'm rootin' for I say things like: "POTO" or "LSHO". I can tell he wants to slap me but he cant 'cuz he's a teacher!

I petition DP to write a daily blog about Caldwell on BWW. He's kinda growing on me.

Hey, Undiscovered! I rember you! Yeah I still go to Our Lady of Food School. They keep me in thos special classes down in the basement. I have to pass all my summer school classes, though.

Yeah, I ruv fishsticks!!!!! Now we get those lame Jamaican Beef Patties and there isn't a single person in the school who's from Jamaica. Go figgure.

I didn't have an "episode". I just told off Sister Imminent Demise and she had me put in the special classes. Geeze, I only asked her if she was a lesbian. I mean, we'd see her chopping wood behind the convent with her "very best friend in the whole wide world" every Saturday morning when we were coming in for Saturday Detention. I don't know about you, but when I see a nun chopping wood, I think dyke. An' I told her so. Besides, red flannel shirts don't do anything for a woman with her coloring. Maybe it's just me, but Marcia Bunratty agrees with me.

LOL! Didja hear that Graymoor Underwood got Marcia Bunratty pregnant backstage during last year's annual health pageant?
(She was playing a germ!). Rumor has it that they conceived during the "Flossing Ballet". Anyhows, now she goes to the Haskell School For Unwed Mothers in Bayonne, New Jersey. She writes to me alot.

They're also saying that Graymoor got Bettina Schnetzler pregnant, but I think that's a false rumour.

Undiscovered, everyone knows your name is Finton Massey and you played the bugle in the school's orchestra or marching band. Whatever. I'm sooooo sorry to see that Matt_G doesn't go to our school. I think it would be kewek beans to have a Jewish guy n a Catholic school. But heck, ya gotta do what the rabbi says, n'est pas? (Monsieur Boris would be proud!)

Maybe Finton, Matt and me should get together and see DRACULA again before Taye Diggs sinks his teeth into it. (I am soooo funny at times!!!) Then we could like compaire Tome Harelip and Taye and know what we're talkin' about. I think it would be amazing. Does anyone know what perfs Tom misses? I mean, does he show up all the time or is he like Donna Murphy and Joel Grey (Corine told my father that Joel Grey has missed so many performances that they had to put someone else in the part for like permanently. That's sad!)

Is there an Applebees near where DRACULA is playing? Then we could eat together, too! Matt, are Jewish kids allowed to eat in places like Applebees? I know you have certain constrictions and stuff.

[Matt_G]

Posted: 8/5/04 at 9:42pm

The only contractions I have on foods are when Mom and dad are living together and dad makes us kosher for the DCS lady who has to watch us when we're together.

[Dollypop]

Posted: 8/5/04 at 9:47pm

Oh, now I remember you!!!!! You're Fiona Massey, the Scottish Irish girl who was really Jewish!!!!!! Well, then you and MAtt can get along really amazingly when we get together to see DRACULA before Taye Diggs takes over. Fiona, didn't you play the celeste in the marching band when Mr. Taynt was running it?
I never really liked Mr. Taynt. He was always making us listen to the music of that guy John Phillips Magnesia. Enuf was enuf.

Matt, your parents are divorced? That's so un-LOL. I'm really sorry, but if Corine has her way, the same thing will be happening with my parents soon....and I hate iguanas.

So if you dont have any constrictions, can we all meet at Applebees before the 8PM showing of DRACULA: the mucousal?

I can't wait to get together with my new friend and my old friend who used to be Jewish but isn't anymore!

I had such an un-LOL day! I was hoping I could come here and talk to my new best friend Matt, but it's Friday nite and he's probably at Temple or something! Maybe he's eating fishsticks. I miss him!

Anyhows, I got back the essay that I wrote on "Venetian Blinds' and Mr. Timmy was mercyless. He writ all sorts of comments all over the paper and even critsized my typing skills (which I think are very good, thank you very mush!) I tryed to reason with him and tell him that i didn't choose this dum topic. He did, but then he reminded me that Sarah Linkmeister had to write about "Cheese" and she did a very fine job. I hate Sarah Linkmeister! It was retarded to make an above-average boy write about Venetian Blinds. I didn't care if they originated in Venice! Big deal--to me that makes them all wet anyhows! Then he asked me how mush time I spent writing it and I told him "alot" and then he asked me how much "alot" is and I told him "about an hour" and he wanted to know how I spent my time in the liberry because he gave us class time to use the computers there and do research. I finally told him I was engaged in an intellegint conversation about a new Broadway musical and then he wanted to know which one and I told him DRACULA, but it's gonna be called BLACULA soon because of Taye Diggs and he didn't know who Taye Diggs was and I said OMG! How can you knot know about somewone like Taye Diggs? He's amazing (Taye Diigs--not Mr Timmy who really gets on my nerves and the summer school isn't even air conditioned). So then this Mr. Timmy wanted to know why anyone would write a musical about Dracula and I told him I didn't know but that when Taye Diggs took over there would be alot of rape scenes in it because Taye is very good at raping. Mr. Timmy looked very confused and told me that I was failing English again. I didn't like to hear that because I REAlLy have to pass all my summer school subjects, so I started to cry. Well, I really didn't cry alot, I just pretended to wimper--that's what my mother does when she finds out that dad has gotten another letter from Corine (who is really nice if you ask me). Well, it worked on Mr. Timmy and he said I could re-write this stupid thing over the weekend and turn it in again on Monday. I guess that was nice of him but now I have to spend the whole weekend writting this retarded story about venetian blinds when I could be at the theater watching those flying thingies in DRACULA.

Oh well, as Tom Sawyer said, "Tomorrow is another day". The bad thing is, Mr. Timmy says he's bringing his son to school on Monday. I can't tell you how pathetic that's gonna be! I mean the kid is doomed from the start. Who would name their kid Tim Timmy 2? I'll bet the kid is near-sighted! BTW: Mr. Timmy wore shorts to school today. We all got to see that he has very-close veins!

Oh, another un-LOL day! My parents shipped me out to spend the weekend with my Uncle Dollypop. He's an English teacher and is suppose to help me with that stupid report about venetian blinds. We'll, he's trying to be helpful. He really is, but how can anyone concentrate with a steady stream of Charol Canning music playing in the background? OMG! It never stops!

My parents are reeallly!!!! scared that I'm gonna flunk my classes in summer school. Whenever my mom gets worried she starts drinking martinis and calling her theater pals on the phone. I heard her talking to that guy who was the star of LES MIS--you know the one who was really good but got fired because he'd gotten too fat for the part? Anyhows, I know she's super-worried when she starts singing the score from BLOOMER GIRL. Last night she was well into the second act before she passed out. (I'd never heard her get that far in the score. It's really not bad!) Then dad toll me I was comeing to spent the weekend with Uncle DP. Obviously they want to be alone because they send my bratty little brother to spend the weekend with Eddie Varley--another one of mom's "theater pals". I guess mom and dad want to have another one of their man-to-man talks.

I had to get to Penn Station all by myself. Do you know what Penn Sation is like at 7 AM on a Saturday morning? It's filled with loosers who have spent the night with their bimbos and are catching an early train home to mow the lawn and get back in the good graces of their wifes. OMG! I always know when my father has visited Corine. He's really nice to me, like he's trying to make up for something bad. Only I'm not the one who he's done anything bad to. Its my mother. But she's usually on the living room floor licking the martini glasses dry. Anyhows, when he's in those "trying to be good" moods is when I get him to fork over the money sos I can see shows like DRACULA.

Im really hoping that Matt_G and I can go to see DRACULA next weekend. I really consider him my current best friend in the whole wide world. I use to think the same thing about Timothy Drywater but that friendship ended when I found out that he REALLY liked Brittney Spears more than Jessica Simpson and that pissed me off. I mean, how can someone SAY one thing and mean another? But then, Timothy isn't the sharpest knive in the drawer. He told Sister Edna St. Vincent that he thought Paris was the capital of Boston! I mean, really! I cant stand it anymore. I really cant. Everyone knows that Paris is one of the Hilton Sisters. Geeze! Well, I gotta get out this dumb Encarta thing and find out some more thrilling information about venetian blinds.

Hasta lumbago, baby!

Well, everyone, My name is Miss Mazeppa and I have been reading these postings for a few days now and you guys are all my faves.Dracula is a real good show and I may be starring in a production of it. You see, my family put me in a "home" a few years ago for wayward actors called Our Lady of Perpetual Kvetching and Brazilian Bikini Wax Emporium. It is run by Jewish nuns. They have a drama department here and they want to put on Dracula. I want to be in it but I dont know what part to try out for. Tryouts make me real nervous. Any suggestions? BTW, Caldwell{ who I think is very strange} you said you had to listen to music by John Phillips Magnesia. I had to play all those marches in band. But my all time fave is Stars That Strip Together. Also,Applebees is not a place for Jewish people. If G-d had wanted Jewish people to eat there, it would be a Chinese Restaraunt . Well, here comes Sister Chava Margaret with my Double Latte Cappucino Metamucil Frappacino with Double shot of Estrogen. See ya all later................Miss Mazeppa

What a super idea, Jose'!!! I'll go and donate a quart of blood and then get to see DRACULA: THE MUSICAL for free! Dosen't get any better than that!

Today turned out to be a LOL day. Of course, when you stay with Uncle Dollypop you HAVE to go to church on Sunday. Ugh! But it wasn't too bad because the priest thinks he's a standup comic and was cracking all sorts of jokes. Like he said Jesus was always making people eat and drink with him so it's proof that Jesus was Italian. LOL! I've seen a few Jesus movies and he NEVER looks Italian. In that last movie--that Mel Gibson thing--he MAY have been Italian but he was so bloody that you couldn't tell what he looked like. Really.

Anyhows, after church we had a nice breakfast at this place right on the dock. It was more than just kewel beans to watch the boats and the fishermen all over the place. Then Uncle DP did something real strange. He alwasy dose strange things. I think its all that non-stop Charol Canning music he listens to. He took me to Home Depot, you know that place where all the lesbians hang out? Yup, he took me there and made me look at all the venetian blinds. This was crazy. He made me touch them and open them and smell them. It was stupid. Then when we got home he made me start off my stupid essay by discribing what it was like to open a box of brand new ventian blinds. I never felt so stupid in my life. Well, yes I did, but that was when my pants split when I was in the school assembly program. What made that so really aweful was that I'd forgotten to put on underpants that day and well, it was not a very nice experience. But this was stupid in a different way, and there are lots of ways you can be stupid. I mean, there I was sitting at this keyboard and discribing how new venetian blinds SMELL. I can only imagine how Owen Thorpe would rag on me if he got his hands on this thing! But my Uncle DP says I'm not writing this stupid thing for Owen Thorpe, were writing it for Mr. Tim timmy, the man I worship and adore. OMG!!!

Now after saying all that, I have to admit that the report looks pretty good. Uncle DP went over it with a fine tooth comb (that's his expression not mine!) and we ran it through spell check and stuff. He even gave me a report cover for it. In all honesty, it looks pretty good. However, well see what Mr. Tim Timmy thinks about it and how he grades it. I just hope he dosen't make any cracks about how smelly venetian blinds are. If he does I'll comment about how smelly HE is after he's had all that coffee in the teacher's room. Coffe mouth isn't the word!
