Well, you've read the notes, the notes girded their loins, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're off singing the word "loins" in eight-part harmony.

And the word of the day is: ESPALIER!

DR JoseSPiano:
I've already been doing the whole head-nodding thing for the past hour or so...
Bobble-Head Jose!!! :D

:o
bk, what are you still doing up?
-
Further girding your loins, I suppose.
-
A good marinade or dry rub works pretty well, too... [sorry, DR Jane!]

At 5:00 in the morning it is too early for me to think about that photo-lol
-
DR Vixmom-GOOD LUCK TODAY! Stay calm & I hope it goes well.
-
From DR Druxy:
Yeah, but the new one made me look 20 years younger
You could show us the photo without making it your avatar ;)
-
DR Dan (the Man) thank you for the belated birthday wishes.
DR Jose I didn’t know that some webcams come with game options. I just want to see my children.
MBarnum maybe your mother uses the webcam to see her grandchildren.
-
good mormimg - thanks for the VIBES - I am about to go to my first day of chemo -
If I am not up to posting later I will have the Vixter sign on for me
-
I hope BK's birthday was grand.... Happy Birthday to PennyO (that is coming up soon is it not?) congrats on your new gig!!
-
well - I must fly-- laters
-
DR Vixmom, we appreciate DR Vixter posting when you can't. I hope your day goes well.
-
I'm going back to bed, maybe I'll get lucky and fall asleep for awhile.

It's my Teenagers From Outer Space tribute.
-
And the word of the day is: ESPALIER!
And The Song Of The Day Is: THE APPLE TREE (FORBIDDEN FRUIT)
-
No DR TCB.....the IT that I watched starred Mr Roddy MacDowell as an assistant museum curator who came into possession of a Golem. He also kept his dead mother in a rocking chair in his living room. He used the Golem to kill his enemies and rob the museum. But then the movie went a little crazy, and the British army decided they could only destroy the Golem by using a "small" nuclear weapon on it. Toward the end there were lots of scenes where characters would tell us what had just happened, so I guess the money ran out.....
THE SHUTTERED ROOM was much better only because Mr Oliver Reed in the tightest blue jeans ever seen on screen played the villain who was tormenting beautiful Carol Lynley. Mr Gig Young drove a fancy Thunderbird convertible and did karate on the locals.
-
Most excellent healing vibes for Vixmom. A very fast healing.
-
From yesterday
TOD: Favorite Xmas song.
I don't have a favorite, but......
One that does get a lot of attention when I play it is
Have a Drag Queen Christmas
-
I use a small free program called YAWCAM to take still photos with my webcam.
-
TOD: I like Jimmy Webb....P.T. Sloan.....Carole King....Biff Rose.

TOD
Good one, I am not sure if I have one or know of one that I listen to
Don McLean....American Pie, Vincent
and does
Tom Lehrer count?

Much continued love to the vixfamily

Tuesday morning greetings! Today is the first day of my second-to-last work week here.
Best vibes to DR Vixmom as she begins her treatments!!!

Off to some Tuesday things.....in the heavy rain!

....in the heavy rain!
Just don't leave your cake out in it.

I don't have any cake. I need to buy some more diet soda in a can.

Remember, the soda you drink is the one that has the most attractive can

We had about 3-4 inches of snow last night. I've cleaned off the driveway and the walks and now must see if I can get the Prius through the snow and on to the roads that have been cleared. It's very cold and windy so many of the schools are closed, but here in town they are running two hours late. So, if they can get to school, I should be able to get to the office
-
ok, time to change clothes and get to work. Laters

Good morning!
Overcast skies here and we may be in for some rain later in the day. Cold but not horribly so, and we're warming into the 60s tomorrow (but then back to the 40s for the remainder of the week.)

No UPS shipment this morning, so I actually could take the day off if I wanted, but I'll wait to see what the USPS brings; there may be Criterion discs in there that will need attention, and I'd love not to get backed up with work so quickly.

On TV Tonight!™
The evening is heavy with reruns but some networks have new programming
NBC - THE BIGGEST LOSER, LAW & ORDER: SVU
ABC - AMERICA'S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS, ACCORDING TO JIM, ELI STONE
FOX - HOUSE
TNT - LEVERAGE
-
Don't really have a favorite singer/songwriter. I do like Rod McKeun, but I couldn't actually say he's a favorite, and Peter Allen was also an ingratiating performer of his own music.
-
Good morning, all! I was out of bed around 8:30 to be at my doctor's by 9:15 for the lab work from yesterday's physical exam. After that, I went up to my storage space to lug hime a few cartons, then I had breakfast and here I am. I'm feeling very puny today: I think I'm getting an abscess in my jaw which is aching quite a bit, and I feel like i'm about to come down with something. So, I canceled my date for the Men's Chorus conceert at Carnegie Hall tonight and I'm going to stay in.
I have to walk up to physical therapy at 1 today, although I'd rather not, and that's my day.

Just to be on the SAFE SIDE, call your doctor and tell him about your jaw hurting. A sore jaw -- and folks almost always presume it to be a localized something-or-other -- CAN be a symptom of an impending heart attack.
No alarmism, I hope, in my telling this, but BE SAFE AND BE SURE!

The problem with the new one was that it came out too small as a avatar...but I am using it on other sites (e.g. GoodReads), where it shows up at a proper size.

Hope you have an easy day today DR Vixmom!

I didn't realize that THE MENTALIST was going to be a repeat.
I have ELI STONE. And hopefully yesterday's PRIVILEGED will reair today (i think it does).

It seems odd this site can't fix the avatar problem.

Random comments overheard this morning:
In an elevator with about six men from the Sheriff's Department:
"I want to show you something, but we'll need to meet in private."
In reception area of my agency's main offices where two ladies were having a discussion:
"I've never done it with a computer before."
I'm certain some very mundane things were being -- or were going to be -- discussed. But it's fun to speculate about out-of-contextual scenarios.
-
My favorite singer/songwriters of the late 60s and all 70s would certainly have to include Rupert Holmes, Tim Moore, Carly Simon, Carole King, Paul Williams (alone and with various composers), Jimmy Webb (although his are not my favorite versions of his songs), and most especially Randy Newman.
-
I'm up, the sun in shining, and there you have it.
-
And there you have page three.
-
TOD - Carole King would be my choice - love her Living Room tour CD!
-
I didn't realize that THE MENTALIST was going to be a repeat.
It's the one about the surfers.

I'm running very behind this morning, so I need to head down, check the mail, and get lunch started.

Yes those are airplanes in my avatar.....
I watched the extras on the EASTER PARADE and BANDWAGON sets last night. Interesting. Of course there was also the Judy Garland By Myself American Masters program.
I also watched some of FINIAN'S RAINBOW.....got all the way up to "Old Devil Moon" - I like Fred and Petula, but Tommy Steele is so strange looking and Don Francks has an unusual look that I need time to think about...... And I think Hermes Pan had some problems.....I really hate it when the first thing a choreographer has EVERYONE do in a song is SIT DOWN!

My news: the appraisal came in at full asking price. A big relief and a surprise, too, given the market. I priced the house according to comps, but what I felt was right, which was higher than my agent recommended. I KNOW she thought I was too high. So this was good news indeed.
However, the buyers have asked for a significant price reduction, based on that %&#%$ home inspection. I just don't believe that all those things are wrong with the house. For instance, the inspector said there was a puddle under the kitchen sink. It's completely dry!! It really is infuriating. I still have trick or two up my sleeve (note to DR Ron: don't misread that).
We shall see.

I, too, was impressed with Janis Ian's work. Not just a pretty face/song.

BTW, WHERE is MISS KAREN??

With the upcoming Holiday Travel Season upon us, here's some good/bad news:
Tempting the Thieves With the Pocketables (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/09/business/09road.html?partner=permalink&exprod=permalink)
Ellen Howe, a spokeswoman for the T.S.A., said Monday that the agency has fired 465 officers for theft since the spring of 2003. That is “a minuscule fraction of the work force,” she said.
She also said incidents were down sharply. In 2005, she said, the agency paid $3 million in claims for missing possessions or damaged bags. “This year it has been less than $1 million,” she said.
*And there will be a follow-up article next week focusing on safety tips and travel precautions.

It was pretty stupid to put her ipod in her suitcase. That would easily have fit into a carry on. I guess I've lost my entire suitcase too many times to put anything in there I value. I've always gotten my bag back, but once it took 30 days!

In this latter years, every pair of jeans was tight on Mr. Oliver Reed.

I woke up feeling very sick this morning, partly from lack of sleep. I called in sick, went back to bed, but I still feel very dizzy (don't go there, elmore) and sick to my stomach. I have a call into my doctor, but I am hoping this is not a reaction to the sulfa drugs.

Laura was a very strange private person. Se retired from the music business when she was like 24, but then she came in the Seventies, but I don't remember if she was still writing. I saw her in 74 or 75 at the Paramount Theater in Seattle, but I only remember her playing her older stuff.
-
Yes those are airplanes in my avatar.....
I watched the extras on the EASTER PARADE and BANDWAGON sets last night. Interesting. Of course there was also the Judy Garland By Myself American Masters program.

And I think Hermes Pan had some problems.....I really hate it when the first thing a choreographer has EVERYONE do in a song is SIT DOWN!
I think "Old Devil Moon" is the sexiest song number in the history of movie musicals. Sexiest dance number is open to some discussion, though "Dancing in the Dark" and "Heather on the Hill" are among my favorites.

It has warmed up since this morning, but the cloud cover is still gray and thick. No rain yet, but it's got to be coming.

I watched another BONES episode as I cooked and ate lunch. It was, unfortunately, the season finale with the bitter revelation of the Gormogon apprentice. I still watched it even though it breaks my heart to see it again.

spooo! :o I apparently saw her in 1976, when she did a four month tour. Wikidpedia says that she did release a couple more albums into the 1990's but I don't think I have ever heard anything from them.

That season finale is the last episode on disc 4 of the set, so I wondered what was going to be on disc 5.
Turns out, it's the first three episodes of season four! I have the London-based season premiere cued up ready to go when I go back down.

Isn't that rather unusual; to include part of the next season?

Yes those are airplanes in my avatar.....
I watched the extras on the EASTER PARADE and BANDWAGON sets last night. Interesting. Of course there was also the Judy Garland By Myself American Masters program.
I also watched some of FINIAN'S RAINBOW.....got all the way up to "Old Devil Moon" - I like Fred and Petula, but Tommy Steele is so strange looking and Don Francks has an unusual look that I need time to think about...... And I think Hermes Pan had some problems.....I really hate it when the first thing a choreographer has EVERYONE do in a song is SIT DOWN!
I think "Old Devil Moon" is the sexiest song number in the history of movie musicals. Sexiest dance number is open to some discussion, though "Dancing in the Dark" and "Heather on the Hill" are among my favorites.
I've always liked "Old Devil Moon" very much. Sexiest song? Certainly a contender, IMO.
-
The rest of the afternoon I watched THE CHEETAH GIRLS - ONE WORLD.
Underwhelming is probably the best word I can choose to describe it. Yes, it was filmed on location in India, and the plot proports to cast one of the three girls as the lead in a new Bollywood movie musical. Don't get your hopes up, DR MBarnum, because there isn't a song or dance in the movie that's anything but generic Disney-styled pop rock and bop dancing.
On a production scale, it's certainly more lavish than the last big made-for-cable musical CAMP ROCK, but I didn't find it even that interesting. The girls' singing style is that over-processed whiny-nasal sound, and honestly, I can't tell one singer from the other from their voices alone.

Very. But because of the strike, BONES only did 15 episodes, and I guess they figured they needed to add some value to the box if they were going to charge full price for it.

My news: the appraisal came in at full asking price. A big relief and a surprise, too, given the market. I priced the house according to comps, but what I felt was right, which was higher than my agent recommended. I KNOW she thought I was too high. So this was good news indeed.
However, the buyers have asked for a significant price reduction, based on that %&#%$ home inspection. I just don't believe that all those things are wrong with the house. For instance, the inspector said there was a puddle under the kitchen sink. It's completely dry!! It really is infuriating. I still have trick or two up my sleeve (note to DR Ron: don't misread that).
We shall see.
Congrats on the Appraisal!

I then watched all of the bonus features, not that there were that many. Some bloopers, some pop-up facts and video clips during the film, singalong lyrics for the nine songs, and three music videos of songs I had just watched in the movie.

Well, we're signed, sealed, and almost delivered and The Brain From Planet X can now officially be licensed via The Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization.
Congrats, BK!
Does this mean that community theaters can perform "The Brain" or can only professional or regional theaters get the rights (at this point)?
-
What is the point of taking advantage of the big sales from places like Oldies.com or Amazon.com; when they end up throwing your order in a corner, till all the regular priced stuff gets sent? What is the point of ordering the 12-CD Patti LuPone Anthology for that guy from Austria; if you can't get them to ship it?

Laura was a very strange private person. Se retired from the music business when she was like 24, but then she came in the Seventies, but I don't remember if she was still writing. I saw her in 74 or 75 at the Paramount Theater in Seattle, but I only remember her playing her older stuff.
I forgot Laura Nyro! I love "Time and Love," and I also forgot Joni Mitchell, although I always preferred to hear her songs sung by others.

WALL-E' wins L.A. critics best-picture honor (AP)
AP - The Los Angeles Film Critics Association has gone populist on its picks for best movies of 2008, with the animated smash "WALL-E" at No. 1 and the Batman flick "The Dark Knight" as runnerup.
The group's honors Tuesday include Sean Penn as best actor for "Milk" and Sally Hawkins as best actress for "Happy-Go-Lucky."
The late Heath Ledger is the critics' supporting-actor winner for his role as the Joker in "The Dark Knight." Penelope Cruz is the group's supporting-actress choice for "Vicky Cristina Barcelona."
Danny Boyle has won the directing honor for "Slumdog Millionaire," while "Happy-Go-Lucky" also is the screenplay winner for Mike Leigh.

My favorite singer/songwriters of the late 60s and all 70s would certainly have to include ...Jimmy Webb (although his are not my favorite versions of his songs)...
Well, I certainly hope you prefer his version of "Highwayman" over that cr@p rendition by Cash, Nelson, Kristofferson and Jennings! The song is supposed to be sung by one person, not four!
That and "Asleep On the Wind" are my two favorite Webb songs.

Ron is your green beans and potatoes recipe a secret?
No, it isn't. It's more of a "procedure" than a recipe.
Take one large can of Del Monte (or other brand) green beans.
Open and drain.
Fill can with water and drain again.
Re-fill can with water and allow beans to soak 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, put approximately 1/4" of water in a pan. Add preferred seasoning. I use a ham seasoning (flavors like smoked ham).
Drain beans from can and pour the beans into the pan. Pour about 1/4 cup of Canola oil over beans.
Turn stovetop burner on high and allow water to reach a boil. Then turn stovetop burner to low and cover pan.
Stir every 15 minutes or so.
Should be ready to go in about 30 minutes to one hour, depending on how many beans you're cooking. For yesterday's pot luck, I used a 6-pound can of green beans, so I let them cook about an hour.
I cooked the red potatoes in a crock pot, again with a little water and with some Canola oil poured over the top. This took all day. An easier way is to put the potatoes in a pressure cooker with a little water. Add oil. Allow the pressure to build to maximum and turn eye down to medium. Allow to cook about 10 minutes. Remove from eye. Potatoes are done.
When I'm using fresh or frozen green beans, I always cook them in a pressure cooker with water and oil. But I also add the potatoes to the pot so the beans and potatoes cook together.

Yum!

The Highwayman, by Jimmy Webb.
I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of '25
But I am still alive
I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner 'round the horn to Mexico
I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still
I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around..
I'll always be around...
I'll fly a starship
Across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again.
(It's supposed to be sung by a single soul. Four singers, splitting it into parts, doesn't make sense.)
-
Yes, certain songs Jimmy does very well. There are some especially good "demos" included in this set - and they're some of the best things he did - better than some of his "finished" albums. That said, can't really top Glen Campbell's renditions and Richard Harris' few all-Webb albums are great.

Asleep on the Wind, by Jimmy Webb
Love is a glass of wine
Balanced on the siderail of a ship
Across the sea at midnight, it may not last the daylight
And the trip is long
And the waves are strong
But then again, it might be up there forever
I've heard of birds that never touch the land
But sleep on the winds
And if untouched by someone's careless hand
Asleep on the winds
Our love might last until the journey's end
Alive Alive
And our lives are just bubbles of time
They're rainbow-colored and
They're shining in the sun
They drift above the treetops now
In danger if the breeze drops somehow
And darling, that's all it would take
And yet we threaten not to break
And you know we could be up here forever
I've heard of birds that never touch the land
But sleep on the winds
And if untouched by someone's careless hand
Asleep on the winds
Our lives might last untill the love begins
So stay alive and let me try as hard as you do
To stay alive, please let me be as much alive as you
Alive Alive
(I don't think I've ever heard this performed by anyone other than Webb.)
-
Does the Webb album include the orchestral prelude to Asleep on the Wind, Land's End? Beautiful, haunting stuff.

I watched the first episode of TRUE BLOOD reairing here on the new HBO Canada. Very interesting!

The rest of the afternoon I watched THE CHEETAH GIRLS - ONE WORLD.
Underwhelming is probably the best word I can choose to describe it. Yes, it was filmed on location in India, and the plot proports to cast one of the three girls as the lead in a new Bollywood movie musical. Don't get your hopes up, DR MBarnum, because there isn't a song or dance in the movie that's anything but generic Disney-styled pop rock and bop dancing.
On a production scale, it's certainly more lavish than the last big made-for-cable musical CAMP ROCK, but I didn't find it even that interesting. The girls' singing style is that over-processed whiny-nasal sound, and honestly, I can't tell one singer from the other from their voices alone.
They should have given this movie to a little girl to review. :)
I know last christmas i got my sister's niece (13) the other Cheetah Girls dvd (she asked for it for Xmas). I guess they do have fans.
I have never seen them. Although i know them from the girl who was on Dancing With the Stars.

I've read that NBC is considering limited programming, with possibly only a few nights a week vice a full week's programming schedule. I'm thinking this Leno thing is part/parcel of whatever they're considering.

With the upcoming Holiday Travel Season upon us, here's some good/bad news:
Tempting the Thieves With the Pocketables (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/09/business/09road.html?partner=permalink&exprod=permalink)
Ellen Howe, a spokeswoman for the T.S.A., said Monday that the agency has fired 465 officers for theft since the spring of 2003. That is “a minuscule fraction of the work force,” she said.
She also said incidents were down sharply. In 2005, she said, the agency paid $3 million in claims for missing possessions or damaged bags. “This year it has been less than $1 million,” she said.
*And there will be a follow-up article next week focusing on safety tips and travel precautions.
Does anyone else remember when flying used to be fun?
Yes, i used to sit in the smoking section with the drinkers. It was always a party in the air

Anyhoo... It's actually quite nice outside right now. Yes, rain is on the way, but it's actually warm(er). A good night to scout out the booths at Christmas markets at Columbus Circle and Bryant Park.

Well, it would be something in addition to your computer. Although, you could also hook it up to use as a webcam too. I was thinking something more along the lines of using it as a way to record (the send) video greetings back and forth, and since they're very compact and portable you could take one along with you in your walks, or one of your sons could give you a virtual tour of their new surroundings. *Disney Talent Casting switched over to Flip cams this past year as the preferred way of documenting their auditions.

Just had one of those stupid Airport Extreme wireless hiccups - lost the Internet, my wireless network completely disappeared, and I had to call Apple after I tried all their fix steps to no avail. This time they had me reset the Airport Extreme, thereby losing all my settings, but it got me back on the Internet. Then they switched me over to a wireless expert, and we talked through everything - put it all back the way it was in terms of passwords and naming the network and all is well. He did say it's probably someone else's wireless signal colliding with mine occasionally - this has happened four times this year. He said he could put me on a new less-used frequency, but the problem is it's only compatible with my MacBook Pro and would then not allow me to get on the Internet on my backup Powerbook, which we use for LACCTAA business, so I left it alone, but if it happens one more time then that's the next thing I do and the backup computer will have to live without Internet.

I really don't think five nights of Jay Leno at 10 p.m. will be a ratings winner for NBC...... But I could be wrong.
I was very surprised by the announcement. But i think it has potential. A lot of people love Jay Leno. And if they can just get people into the habit of thinking its simply the Tonight Show but earlier, i think people might just watch.
I know i don't usually watch at 11:35pm. But i might be tempted to watch it at 10pm.

Yes DR JENNIFER, but I think MORE people DON'T like him.

I've always loved Kristen Bell, although i never thought she really gelled on this show. That is until the past few weeks. I thought her character turned the corner. The trek with claire was interesting. But the relationship with sylar was really good. And now they kill her. Sometimes it seems like the writers are not paying attention. Anyhow with regards to last night's show i loved seeing hiro with his mother. I liked seeing claire in the past. But the whole thing with arthur was getting on my last nerve. Not liking him. And i'm hating mohinder big time (who i used to like). They also need to give peter back his powers (he was always my favorite). But at least hiro's story is getting interesting. Although how it ended up is not. I am actually hoping that the bullet at the end did kill its victim and maybe peter can get the light's power? fjdaf oidsaufdsa ufopusafiofpudsaioufopdsaufoidsaufoidsapufdopuopu opuo

...MUST NOT READ "HEROES" SPOILERS!!
I haven't watched the last five...count 'em...FIVE episodes. :-\
-
So, the easy thing for me to do is leave work and go to Seattle to see Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. :)
Be back much, much later! ;D

Wow that's a lot! Although i am behind on a few shows too. I have been taping all season of FRINGE (only watched the first one).

I really don't think five nights of Jay Leno at 10 p.m. will be a ratings winner for NBC...... But I could be wrong.
I tend to agree with you, although I do think the show will hurt Conan.
-
Me too, DR DRUXY.....
-
G'night!
-
I was hoping DR Vixter would stop in tonight. I might take a quick look later.
'night
-
Good Evening!
...And it smells like Christmas Tree in my apartment.
-Which is the "good side". ;)
-
So DR JOSE does this have something to do with The Room Mate and The Christmas Tree?
<nod>
Although, I've sort of been feeling antsy all day for no particular, unknown reason. ???

Conan O'Brien has always seemed very "East Coast" to me. Does he do well on the Other Coast?
-
Ooohh! Do you need a pianist?
We're actually set with a substitute organist. But I don't know that we could afford you! :)
Actually... I love "Lessons & Carols", and it's been a while since I've participated in one. I would have settled for a train ticket and some post-service Christmas cookies.
-
I have never been able to stomach more than ten minutes of Conan O'Brien.
-
George - yes, anyone can now license The Brain From Planet X. Have your group do it and we'll all come see it!
Our director/music director Josh checked out a copy of the CD from the library (which turns 40 today!) and he loves it! It may happen. :D
Gosh, I wonder where he heard of it.
-
Flip Cam looks interesting....
I've actually been very surprised at the quality of the resultant videos. They're basically the size - if not smaller - than a Walkman (the original cassette version), and they're very easy to use: Record, Pause, Stop. And as for using them for auditions, there are no more DVDs or Super8 tapes to worry about. The videos can be e-mailed to the main office for immediate perusal and appraisal.

~~~~~VIBES TO THE PAPASAURUS OF DR EDISAURUS~~~~~
Well said and DITTO!
-
WTF?!?!?!?!?!?
The governor of Illinois did WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
-
Good night!
-
I totally forgot about Rupert Holmes Widescreen which BK released on that other label with lots of bonus tracks.

Don't forget to tell about some of the clips on Youtube with the original Los Angeles cast and from some other production whose Yanni is a pale imitation of the original Alet Taylor

Did anyone watch the series finale of Boston Legal?
Very amusing and touching that the series won't be around any more. Gonna miss Spader and Shatner together.
-
I had an interesting and entertaining evening of viewing. I began by watching the two hour BONES episode that began season four. (The London-based shows; actually, two hour long episodes which Fox aired back to back and which are presented that way on the disc, too.) Entertaining.

Is the one in the middlde, Mary?
Mary, Mary, Mary <snap>
-
I watched another BONES episode, the one where Tempi was dating two men: one for sex and one for intellectual stimulation. The case was interesting, too: a man stuffed down an outhouse toilet.
There is one more episode on the disc that I'll watch tomorrow while I eat lunch.
-
Next, I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nada, and nothing in the previews for tomorrow either.
-
Next, I watched CHUCK which was shown on my local NBC affiliate this afternoon at 2. Very entertaining episode. Gary Cole was great.
And wonder of wonders, it was in HD!
-
Monday night's HEROES episode is slated to be shown tomorrow afternoon at 2, so I'll be able to watch it tomorrow night. I hope that it, too, is in HD.
-
Next, on the enthusiastic recommendation of DR S Woody (or was it DR derBrucer?), I recorded LEVERAGE at both 9 and 10. I only watched the 9 p.m. pilot episode, and I did enjoy it. Lots of twists and surprises in the capers, and I enjoyed seeing one of my favorites from ANGEL - Christian Kane - as the team's muscle.
I'll watch the 10 p.m. second episode tomorrow.
-
I also watched tonight about 40 minutes of P.S. I LOVE YOU, enough of it to know I'd like to see the whole thing. I'll get the DVR to pick up the next showing on HBO-HD.
-
And I ended my evening with tonight's wonderful ELI STONE. Not as tear-inducing as previous episodes, but I did enjoy it very much.

Ben Cohen, page 10 dance (he's dreamy)

I must pay more attention to rugby.
-
My only experiences with Jay Leno is when he has hosted shows other then his own. I don't think I have ever seen him on The Tonight Show.
That said, I do think he is sort of funny.
-
I don't think I have seen much of Conan O'Brian, either.

You can skip the rugby. He does enough posing in his underwear, so you don't have to actually watch the game!
-
Thankyou, Michael for posting the links to the clips from BK's POZ spectacular.
-
My evening surf is finished, so I think I'll head downstairs now and go to bed.
Good night!

Today was a traffic day from hell. I was on the freeway, and we were all bumper to bumper going 5 MPH for no particular reason other than there were too many vehicles on the road at once and WAY too many rude drivers. It was a severe test of my tolerance and graciousness.
-
I think I'll get out my coloring book and crayons and color for awhile.
-
Haven't caught up yet. I'll try to do that tomorrow.
-
vibes to Edi and family
-
OK...
Goodnight.

Yes, I watched it and enjoyed it

I'm not sure how anyone could forget Rupert.... ;D
-
and since I'm all alone...this is a good time to exit stage left....night
-
No one is alone
-
My equilibrium seems off - don't know what that's about, but when I get up I get very dizzy.
-
Apparently someone IS alone.
