I keep having the nagging sensation that I'm supposed to do something today or this evening, but I can't find any notations anywhere, so I hope that the nagging sensation is incorrect. I've been trying to write everything down in my iCalendar, and I've been checking it every morning.

It was Bree's son, Jennifer.

OH MY GOSH! Thanks. Wow.

MattH, when I started posting there were only three of us on this here site.

But, since I like chopped liver, there is nothing wrong with you being chopped liver. Especially if it goes hand in hand with LOXODROMIC. Who will be the first person to use LOXODROMIC in a sentence?

I agree. We haven't seen much of Judd at all. I had to look at the newspaper article the local paper ran with the 24 semifinalists to even know who he was, and I barely remember him. I think all of the men this year that I've heard from this group are more talented than ANY of the men in last year's group.

Holy moley on rye - page two!

How many of you will be watching American Idol tonight. Have any of you seen Judd?

Sorry about the leaking problem... How come you have always that kind problems? Is it for your house or for the heavy rain?

How about your spanking new TV set? It must be good lookin

We've got us a quorum on the forum.

I'll definitely be watching AI tonight AND voting as I have always done in past years. This is when one starts picking his favorites and develops a rooting interest.

And AI is being broadcast in high definition this year which makes it even more appealing to me.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. We are winding up our stay here in Anaheim and flying home this evening, however, we'll probably rowing home at this rate... and I'm SURE the flight plans will change with bad weather here and in San Jose. Thank you all, very much for your wishes

There are two places on the roof that need repairing. They came out six weeks ago and did something temporary with plastic up there. It seems to be holding in the bedroom, but not the one in the rear area near the doors leading to the yard. They had five weeks of good weather to deal with this problem, and yet no one showed up until last week to actively start fixing the floor in the bedroom (which has warped floorboards because of the last leak). He said he wouldn't start on the floor until he had a roofing guy out to fix the roof. That, of course, didn't happen before the rain started, and we've had no break from it since. If they had attended to this properly there would be no problems right now. My guess is that it's going to cost them quite a bit more than it would have had they done things in a timely manner.

And might I just add - LOXODROMIC!

bk · « **Reply #41 on:** February 21, 2005, 08:17:11 AM »

LOXODROMIC is, of course, CIMORDOXOL spelled backwards.

CIMORDOXOL - that sound like some kind of industrial-strength cleaning solution, doesn't it?

Matt H. · « **Reply #42 on:** February 21, 2005, 08:23:04 AM »

I popped a STAR TREK episode into the DVD player from Season 3, so I geuss I'll watch that at some point today. Don't know which movie will be next on the agenda. Since there is no mail today, no chance of new DVDs to pick from. It'll have to come from the ones that are already sitting here waiting to be watched.

Matt H. · « **Reply #43 on:** February 21, 2005, 08:28:04 AM »

Yes, microdisplay TVs, like DLP models, give a different look to shows than CRTs. Colors seem to pop rather than look creamy or soft. You should also put in a black and white film, bk, to see what you think.

DLPs often get criticized for not providing deep, dark blacks, but I certainly couldn't say that was true about my friend's DLP that I helped calibrate. I thought the blacks were very deep and shadow detail was excellent.

bk · « **Reply #44 on:** February 21, 2005, 08:33:02 AM »

I'm thinking about having an expert calibrate this - it looks really good doing the little tweaking I did, but I know there are more specific things to do that I don't know anything about.

Good Morning!

Well... The rain that started here last night has finally stopped, and the sun is peeking through the clouds. The temp is supposed to get up to the mid-60s too. Perhaps I shall go for a run this afternoon over at the University - which I definitely need to do after my less than ideal dietary habits this past weekend. -And my side/back is feeling better too.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #46 on:** February 21, 2005, 08:41:21 AM »

BK et all - I hope the rain stops out there too sometime soon. The reports of the nickel-sized rain, flooding, sinkholes, etc., have been disheartening. And the report this morning of two deaths over the weekend as a result of the flooding...

~~~SAFE AND DRY VIBES~~~

bk · « **Reply #47 on:** February 21, 2005, 08:41:44 AM »

LOXODROMIC!

bk · « **Reply #48 on:** February 21, 2005, 08:42:13 AM »

And where is that reclusive Marc Chapeaux everyone is talking about?

bk · « **Reply #49 on:** February 21, 2005, 08:42:45 AM »

I am completely out of Diet Coke, so I shall have to brave the rain at some point soon and go to Gelson's to stock up.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #50 on:** February 21, 2005, 08:47:22 AM »

DR Joey - BEST VIBES to your grandmother, you and your family.

And I have to say that for someone so relatively young, you really do seem to have your priorities straight, and your head in the right place. The sense of discovery and wonder in your posts is very youthful, but at the same time your sense of love and devotion towards your family and friends is very "old". A trait that I don't see in people twice - or even three times your age.

Do you think you would still be able to make it to Indy to see MAMMA MIA? I understand if you can't, but it would be great to meet you while I'm in Indy.

Again, BEST VIBES!

....Or some pharmaceutical grade drug that has various and sundried side effects... And that will be recalled by the FDA sometime down the line..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR MATTHEW!!!!

Safe travels to you today too.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #53 on:** February 21, 2005, 08:57:22 AM »

Oh, and speaking of travel...

I found out - well, was asked - last week if I could add another week onto my MAMMA MIA! stint. And, as luck would have it, I can and will.

So, after closing JEWISH THIGHS in NYC on March 27, I shall be heading to Memphis, TN on the 28th for a week, then up to Indy for another week. I'm very excited about heading to Memphis since I was not able to head there earlier this month for the theatre conference I usually play for this time of year. Can you say "Barbecue"? I have a feeling I'll be living off of Rendezvous Ribs, and Corky's Pulled Pork for the week! -Oh, and a trip of two to the Cupboard for a good ole-fashioned "meat and three" meal or two.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #54 on:** February 21, 2005, 09:00:19 AM »

Of course, the extra week of MAMMA MIA! means that I will have to get a LOT of stuff done here around the apartment this week. I head down to Greensboro next week for a few days, then up to NYC on the 7th... and then I won't have a chance to get back here until I'm back from Indy! Whew!

I see plenty of trash bags and boxes in my near, very near future.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #55 on:** February 21, 2005, 09:01:42 AM »

DR Hisaka - I shall try to take a picture of some of my "folds". There is a sort of complicated "rose" I fold that is simply stunning.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #56 on:** February 21, 2005, 09:03:53 AM »

Oohh....

Very sobering images right now on the Noon News from Southern California... -And another two inches of rain expected today - and two feet of snow in the mountains...

Again, SAFE AND DRY VIBES.

DR Jane - Hope you're continuing to feel better.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #59 on:** February 21, 2005, 09:06:48 AM »

DR JMK and Family - I hope all of you are continuing to feel better too!
