Well, you've read the notes, the notes were on your mind, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently having both their eyes and their head examined because all they can think about is Theda Bara.

And the word of the day is: ROISTER!

And now - Dino at the piano.

Nobody here but us chickens.

I am not a 100% on this, but.....
I believe that the films that Theda Barare now consider lost to the ravages of time. I know her version of Cleopatra no longer exists. Just photos.
Shame. I always wanted to see a movie with the original vamp of the movies.

Thursday morning greetings! I'm posting and packing for my trip this afternoon to Zanesville, OH, for the AAUW/Ohio conference and convention. Enroute I'll stop at the Columbus airport and pick up our out-of-state speaker. Since her flight isn't due in until about 4pm, I have some time this morning to putter.
TOD - I will lose a ton of metaphorical weight (from my shoulders) when this conference is over, because it draws to a close my 2-year term as program VP. I will also lose some "paper" weight by turning over to my successor 3 cartons of files (2 of which have sat, unopened, in our garage for the past 2 years ::))

...I really couldn't think of anything pithy or withy to finish my previous post.

Hmm... Very interesting choice for the Topic of the Day... Sort of "coincidental" for me... Hmm... Details to come later.

Good morning, all! More work on Ellington today.
DR MichaelShayne, I believe some footage of Miss Bara's career in the flickers still exists and is available on DVD.
I have little else to report.
-
Thanks, DR Singdaw!
I just set myself up to get text messages on my cell phone regarding the flight status of the person I'm meeting in Columbus. If I hear that she's delayed, I can adjust my driving accordingly. Or, go shopping along the way...

TCM showed A FOOL THERE WAS several years ago, and I video taped it - remember those? It was an interesting relic. Ms Bara was a bad bad bad girl whose entire reason for living was destroying the lives of foolish married men....and so she did.
She was NOT thin, and she BIG eyes ringed with kohl....and her type went out of fashion fairly quickly....BUT she was big while she had it. Yes, I think her CLEOPATRA has turned to dust, but there are fragments of her here and there.
Theda....nee Theodosia Goodman from Ohio....lived until 1959 and was quite the good sport about her former career as the screen's Vamp and ManKiller, they say.
-
Btw, that is not me.
;D

TOD: Probably about 23 pounds....which I am now trying to get rid of AGAIN.

I just got asked to do some Fourth of July charts for policeman/tenor Daniel Rodriguez! This may be the work I'll take to Ohio when I ever book a flight.
-
It is NOT me either.
-
Well, I don't start until 10:00 today, but I have to run an errand or two this morning, so I might as well get a head start on those so I'm not rushing later. I'll have internet access today - :) - so that should keep me sane and otherwise occupied when I'm not playing.

An investment group that owns 138 sage-covered acres above and to the left of the 45-foot-high, steel-and-concrete H put the land up for sale last month for $22 million.
Some Los Angeles residents are afraid mansions will be built there, spoiling the sign's uncluttered, postcard-perfect backdrop. They worry, too, that the land will no longer be accessible to the hikers, sightseers and romantics who often climb the hill for solitude and a panoramic view of the Los Angeles basin.
Residents led by a city councilman are fighting to preserve the parcel, known as Cahuenga Peak.

DR ArnoldMBrockman - There are only two songs on the new 2 CD William Finn set that are new to me. Nevertheless, if you are a Finn fan, I do recommend it. Nice performances, some new vocal arrangements. It's just four singers and a piano, recorded live Off-Broadway.

Messages program planners like to get the day before the conference starts:
"Exactly how much time do I have for my speech?"
"How many handouts should I duplicate for my sesson on Saturday?"
"Registration numbers: Friday=55, Saturday=101."

Today is going to be a *ME* day in terms of viewing. I will put the review copies aside today and watch whatever I want. I have JOHN ADAMS from Sunday that I definitely want to get to. This evening, before the beginning of prime time TV, I'd like to revisit LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD.
The rest of the day may be given over to PSYCH episodes from the first season DVD set. We'll see.
-
TV Reminders:
ELI STONE! (season finale; I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the nice ratings it garnered on Sunday night can carry over tonight, at least somewhat).
NBC has an all-new night of episodes with MY NAME IS EARL, 30 ROCK, THE OFFICE, SCRUBS, and ER.
SURVIVOR. (CSI and WITHOUT A TRACE a reruns tonight).
SMALLVILLE is new. SUPERNATURAL is a rerun.
ABC is rerunning the last couple of episodes of LOST leading to next week's return of the show at 10 p.m.
-
Page Three Scarecrow Dance!!!

singdaw - No, Randy Vicar wasn't in THEDA BARA AND THE FRONTIER RABBI, but Jeanine La Manna was. Here's the Times review from 1993:

Yes, DR George, you are right that MIDNIGHT COWBOY was the first (and only X-rated) movie to ever win the Best Picture Oscar. A CLOCKWORK ORANGE was nominated but didn't win. Both movies were subsequently rated R in later releases.
-
Reading an article about ELI STONE in today's USA TODAY, it is one of three ABC shows on the bubble for renewal or cancellation (the other two are BOSTON LEGAL and WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB). It is the only one actually produced by ABC/Disney so that increases its chances of a second season. A nice rating tonight would also help its chances, and it is facing off against a WITHOUT A TRACE rerun but a new episode of ER. Unfortunately, it has a LOST rerun as a lead-in, and LOST is a notoriously low-rated show in reruns.
So tomorrow's ratings will reveal a lot about its chances.
-
Hmm.....
I think that's a job I don't want! :P
Nor do I, DR Singdaw! I have been so fortunate, both last year in Tiffin and this year in Zanesville, to have had super LAG's.

To Die on Stage Tip Needed:
Do any of you theatre buffs have a suggestion on how a character who dies on stage won't be seen breathing heavily after an intense scene that leaves the person breathing heavily? A yoga tip, a relaxation tip? Maybe a position they should fall into so it's not as easy to see the heavy breathing? We've already talked about the other two characters doing the magician thing by diverting attention to them and away from the body. The reason it's an issue is that we're doing this theatre-in-the-round so the audience will be up close and personal. This may be one of the things I get audience feedback about my thesis presentation: "We could see your dead person still beathing -- heavily!" ....

This may be one of the things I get audience feedback about my thesis presentation: "We could see your dead person still beathing -- heavily!" ....
You should discuss this with a seasoned lighting director, I think. The actor needs to be in a key light when he dies...and then the light needs to go out while, perhaps, other light in the area where he died goes down a bit. That will allow whoever is left, also in key lights, to draw the attention of the audience from the body which has, in effect, been removed from their view.
It's a psychological approach -- and probably won't be appropriate many times, because the entire scene may need to be specially set up for it to have maximum impact without it calling too much attention to itself. Each person on stage would need a key light during the scene so that the extinction of one key light, and possibly bringing a specific set light at the scene of death down a notch or two, makes the magic work and allows the poor "dead" actor to breathe without detection.

I will record the 2 episodes of LOST. So i can see what spoiler info they give re: the sun and jin episode.
I will record ELI STONE at 8pm (it is on here at 8pm since ER is on the same canadian station). I will watch this at 9pm since i am very excited to see the season finale.

The most weight I ever lost was about three or four years ago. I lost 41 pounds starting at 229 and getting back into the 180s.
Since then I've gained about 15 pounds of it back (blamed on my chocolate addiction). If I can keep myself under 200, I'm satisfied with my weight, but doing that IS a constant struggle. My father weighed almost 300 pounds at his heaviest, and if I let myself go as he did, I'd probably get close to that myself. So, I have to work hard at keeping my weight below 200.

I can't say that i really cared about the girl who left. But i was surprised. Her dialidol numbers had been up the last few weeks. I agree with DR MattH, I did not like how they put them in 3s and then changed them. The only reason i can think of that they did this is because everyone knew david cook was safe. So everyone assumed brooke and kristy were safe. And it sort of made it stunning when they had him switch. I was really glad brooke stayed though. I hope syesha goes next.

In 1990, while I was in the Navy and in Naples, Italy, I was station manager of the Armed Forces Radio and Televsion Service affiliate there.
One day, a guy I had seen around the base came into the station to see if he could advertise his services as a personal trainer on TV and radio. He was an Army reservist whose wife was active-duty Army at the NATO base. It also turned out he was a special forces officer, and he had been certified for dietary/nutrition services as well as had experience as a personal trainer. He had received all necessary base approval to work in the base gym.
It turns out several of us in the station signed up with him. I went from 235 pounds to 189 pounds in two months, working on a 3-day-a-week Nautilus circuit at the base gym, which included stationary bicycle for 30 minutes at the end of each workout. I modified my diet which was carb-based. Lots of vegetables, lean white meats, pasta and potatoes, but no beef, oils, butters or sugars.
That kind of diet works when combined with several days of intense working out, but not for every day use.
After that loss, Mike (personal trainer) moved me to free weights where the fun began (not). I stabilized at 195 (which was ideal for me) and stayed there for many years.
And that's ALL I'm sayin'!

TOD:
The most I've ever lost? 75 pounds, over a period of about a year and a half. That was some years ago. Mostly through walking and modifying my diet via a nutritionist - mainly cutting out white flour and sugar. Haven't kept it all off over the years. Need to get back to a stricter regimen, including going to the gym in the mornings which I've gotten away from lately.
I still walk Zach three to five miles per day, which is good, but it's not aerobic exercise.

But the final hoh tie-breaker question was pretty easy (since 3 had stayed for 3 hours and 1 for 5 minutes). I can't believe how they all got it so wrong (unless nobody told them how long they stayed up).
I was not happy they screwed over nat. But glad that they screwed over sheila by making her break the tie. However i think the diary room coerced them to do this. Because tuesday they were keeping nat. And then after visiting the DR yesterday they flipped and wanted the tie-break idea.

slopjarstopgapbrightstarbitchslap. I would never have imagined these last four people as "the final four." Especially Sheila.
With Ryan as HOH, the wheeling and dealing will be intense, I think. If Ryan has a brain, he'll attempt to back-door Adam. I don't think Ryan would have any trouble winning against either Sharon or Sheila. Against Adam would be a much closer vote, IMO.
So...nominate Sharon and Sheila and do everything to either win the POV or pray one of them wins it (and not Adam). With POV, even if it's Ryan winning it, use it to save either woman and put up Adam.
Only one person will decide who goes home next. Klaatuberadanikto. Go, go into your better kingdom.

YA GOTTA HAVE HEART
-
The little neighbor Tuxedo cat ["Diablo"] tried to prevent me from going to work this morning. When I exited my house to go to my car, she came a runnin'. I stopped to pet her a few times, but then when I straightened up to proceed, she hissed and yowled and actually cut me off, trying to keep me from stepping forward toward my car. So a few more pets, and then the whole process repeated. I actually had to "fake her out," running in a different direction, to get to my car!

-
DR Miss Karen - Having worked on more than a few shows where there have been dead bodies on stage...
-Breathing-wise... If you can "train" the actor to adopt "singer's breathing": have them keep their rib cage and "stomach" out while they continue to breath internally, that helps a lot. It's a very active/passive sort of breath control. The "outside" becomes rigid - and needs to be held that way - while the lungs and the diaphragm do all the work. It's like that breathing exercise where you lie down on the floor on your back, then place a book on your stomach. When you inhale, the book goes "up", then you try to keep it there while you exhale. Visualizing breathing into the floor helps a lot too.
-Sometimes a girdle(?)/tummy-flattener/Spanks can also help.
-But the big thing that always helps is to make sure that the actor is truly "acting" the fight beforehand. This way the breathing is already in control before s/he hits the ground.

TOD:
A friend from San Diego used to say that there are three ways to lose weight--diet, exercise, and disease. I prefer the first two, though I've experienced all three.
I've only gained significantly twice in my life--20 lbs each time--and got it off both times. For me, diet is the fastest and most effective, but I do try to exercise, too. I can lose without dieting, just on my stationary bike, but it does take a while. I notice that each time I gain and lose the weight shifts a bit, ie I'm not exactly the same size as before, even if I'm the same weight. Most difficult on the wardrobe! Another incentive to reach my ideal weight and just stay there!
-
Must get some work done. Then I'll try to ketsup.

DR Miss Karen -
What Jose has offered is far more practical. It does, however, rely upon the actor to perfect the illusion of death. In professional theater, I think it's a given the actor can achieve it. In local theater, not so much.
:D
No matter what you do, however, eyes in the audience WILL be trained on the dead body for some moments after the death...everyone wondering "Will he take a breath?"
;)

Oh, back to the Topic of the Day...
The most I've ever lost at once was 16 pounds. In 11 days. But that was when I sick a few years ago - it happened while I was down in DC working on Children of Eden at Ford's Theatre. Those were some rough(!) days, but I never missed a show! However...
I did "diet" a couple of years ago, and managed to take off 20 pounds, and those pounds have stayed off. Yeah! Since then I've been trying to lose another 10-15 in stages. Well...
A few weeks ago, I could tell that my body was telling me that I needed to REALLY try to lose the next block of weight. My back was acting up, my energy levels were weird, and I just did not feel "right". And when I stepped on the scale, I was quite surprised to see that I had put on 5-7 pounds in a relatively short time. I knew I had to something "drastic" in order to get things jump-started. If I just tip-toed into the process, it was not going to stick. So, after talking with a couple of people and reading a lot of stuff on the internet, I decided to do something "drastic". Last Monday I started "The Master Cleanse". It's that "Lemonade Cleanse" that's been around for years. So, for the past ten days, I've been living off of nothing but a mixture of lemon juice, grade B maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water - and extra water as needed throughout the day. Once I got past the first three days, it was actually sort of "easy", and I seem to be one of those rare people who had no real adverse affects during the cleanse - no colds, no weird skin breakouts, no real drops in energy. And once I got past the fifth day, it really just fascinated me. I mean, even though I had had no solid for five days at that point, well, there was... well... -You can read about that part elsewhere on the web. ;)
Today is my first day off the Cleanse/Diet, and I'm starting to introduce solid food back into my body. So far, so good. -It's just lots of orange juice today.
As for the amount of weight I lost: 17 pounds. I know most of it was water weight, and I know that some of it will come back on pretty fast, but at least I truly know now that I can control my dietary intake. And after having read some "uncomfortable" stories of people who broke the fast/cleanse/diet too fast, well, I still have to be very careful and picky with what I eat over the next couple of days.
It truly was a "neat" 10 days of control. It also allowed me to think about and plan my eating for the next couple of weeks. Yes, I do have a few culinary splurges planned - small ones - but I also have a healthier mindset right now. I even have my gym regime lined up for next week. My jeans are definitely much looser right now, and my shirts are draping much nicer too - and I want to keep it that way!
The Master Cleanse is certainly not for everyone, and I am not endorsing it for anyone. However, it did seem to work for me, and I had thought about it for a while. You really do have to be mentally prepared for it before you start. Since I had had no work lined up last week except for a brief audition session, it made it each easier for me to avoid any temptations that I may have come across on my lunch breaks. And since the "lemonade" is best when it's fresh, I was able to prepare it as needed throughout the day.
*One very funny "side-effect"... Boy, did I have to cut down on my viewing of the Food Network! All those "Good Eats", "Diners, Dives and Drive-Ins", and Iron Chef competitions really did start to make my salivary glands go into overdrive at times. ;)

I, for one, am relieved to learn this. Take some delight in knowing that Natalie and Matt will be together again...and have some votes to cast at the finale.
The problem that I now have is who do I want to win? I guess Ryan or Adam, but I am just not convinced they are worthy. (although I do like them)

DR MISS KAREN, I always die on my side facing upstage, do the singer's breathing DR JOSE mentioned, and pushing up slightly with the hand that is against my upper side - keeping that arm slightly away from my body.
A layer of clothes with some space also helps.
Or if the actor is particularly obnoxious, you could really kill him.

To Die on Stage Tip Needed:
Do any of you theatre buffs have a suggestion on how a character who dies on stage won't be seen breathing heavily after an intense scene that leaves the person breathing heavily?
A. How many performances?
B. How many understudies?
When B is equal or greater than A, a simple solution presents itself.

Dying on stage department: I played Jerry in Zoo Story throughout high school (try performing that one at State, held at BYU in Utah, LOL), and of course got that great death scene after that insane monologue and the fight with the knife. We worked out two strategies--I had to die on the park bench, so people could definitely see me, but we decided to have me wear a windbreaker that kind of hid my stomach, and I "died" sort of sideways. Then I practiced taking quick, shallow breaths that didn't involve much diaphragm action, and it seemed to work out very well. I won Best Actor, as I'm sure you all know. ;D

.INAUGURATION ALTERS 2009 OSCAR CALENDAR
Politics takes precedence over Oscar noms.
From the Associated Press
April 14, 2008
What's more significant: the inauguration of a new U.S. president or the announcement of the year's Oscar nominees? The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences decided politics takes precedence, announcing Monday that it has delayed the nominations announcement by two days.
Oscar nominees are usually revealed on a Tuesday about four weeks before the big show, which is typically held the last Sunday in February. For 2009, though, the targeted Tuesday -- Jan. 20 -- is Inauguration Day.
So the 81st annual Oscar nominees will be revealed Thursday, Jan. 22, and the Academy Awards will be presented Sunday, Feb. 22 -- the earliest Oscars ever

bk - I got a response from the Editor of TSR. He says that 's already had "brief correspondence with someone from Kritzerland."
He is trying to set up an email "blast" to subscribers regarding Primrose, but they have run into some technical problems with their list of late.
He didn't say, but I guess they're still trying to get it working.
And that's all she wrote.

DR Miss Karen, I have died on stage, but I have never been killed on stage, so I can be of little help with your question.
-
Yes, the Sondheim Review person answered my initial e-mail and I sent them a pared down release for the eBlast. I can't imagine what the problem would be, but she's going to have a lot of upset Sondheads on her hands if this sells out before the review hits their magazine (IF I send them a review copy).
-
According to the Fed Ex tracking site, the digital postal machine is on the truck for delivery. Now, Fed Ex normally delivers before noon to my mail place except on days when I need something by a certain time. Then they probably show up at four, long after I'll be on my way to eye appointment, meal, and run-through. Which means I have to get up at eight and drive over there, THEN set it up, all of which was supposed to happen later today.
-
Lunch started late and lasted a long time. Enjoyable, but it didn't leave a lot of time for viewing this afternoon.
I did enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, however. It is a glorious day here today.
-
I did get a new review copy of something today: another PBS show, this one dealing with African-Americans. It premieres May 6th.
-
I began my afternoon viewing by watching (finally) Sunday's JOHN ADAMS. Dealing with his four year presidency, it's a program fraught with conflict and deep sadness. Very beautifully done but not fun to sit through all that conflict and pain.
-
Then I put in disc 2 of PSYCH (the first disc was filled with bonuses but only the pilot which I didn't want to see again.)
I started with the episode of the stolen diamond ring at the hotel. Lots of fun stuff with Shawn and Gus.
-
Word is that Fall Of The Roman Empire is nice and sharp with lousy color, meaning faded brown pasty skin tones and nothing that pops as it should. I'm so bored of these sloppy, lazy people who know nothing about color doing these transfers - it's so bloody easy to fix.
-
I didn't get quite to the end of it, but I'll finish it later before I start on LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD.
-
Still no Fed Ex delivery (they apparently deliver several times a day). So, unless it shows up in the next twenty minutes, I'm not sure what to do, other than try to have someone else get it later today.
-
Has anyone ever heard of a group called The Manhattan Transfer? They are coming to the Western Washington Fair in September with Al Jarreau. They must be new. ;)

DR Ben - Yes, today's - and tomorrow's - Damn Yankees auditions are for the upcoming City Center production this summer.

I shall now be on my way to an eye exam, meal, and run-through, after which I shall return.

Naturally, Fed Ex has still not arrived. They have until six-thirty and I'm sure they'll either arrive at six-twenty-nine or say they attempted and will deliver tomorrow - if it's the latter, they will not be happy speaking to me, that's all I have to say.
-
Amazon sent me today THE SUSPICIONS OF MR WHICHER, which I look forward to reading, and I've worked on parts for "Take The 'A' Train." It's one of those jobs I took on to makes some fast money, but I wish I'd turned down. Oh, well . . .

This day has whizzed by.
I visited the local USPS facility and was amazed at all the new stamps. There is a "Star Wars" stamp, and there is a Yoda stamp (all to himself). There are some lovely 1-cent Tiffany lamp stamps, and some gorgeous Lunar New Year stamps featuring red Chinese balloons.
I made a p-i-g pig of myself and bought some of everything.
This time tomorrow, my final LANAP surgery will be over. and I shall be on pap for at least a week.
That could be a good thing, I suppose. But I really love to chew my food, ya know!

Yes, DR George, you are right that MIDNIGHT COWBOY was the first (and only X-rated) movie to ever win the Best Picture Oscar. A CLOCKWORK ORANGE was nominated but didn't win. Both movies were subsequently rated R in later releases.

I was just reading a story on AOL (actually a kind of boring story) about how companies got their names. One of the companies they talked about was HASBRO, which according to the article was named Hassenfeld Brothers until they adopted the name Hasbro in 1968.
Now I could swear (and often do) that there were Hasbro toys when I was kid. However if this story is correct, there was no Hasbro until I turned 18.
Granted, this is not one of the great mysteries of the 20th or 21st century, but I do find it strange.

Oh, will the kids be traveling with you?
-
No, no Toby and Dylan on this trip.
-
Please pass on our best wishes to the kids TCB.
I will do so.
Tuesday, besides being tax day and Titanic sinking day, was also the 61st anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball.
I had planned on using that anniversary as a subtle away to ask two Australian friends of mine, what they thought of a little show called NATIONAL PASTIME. But, surprise, surprise, I happened to find that the parcel in question never made it into the mail!
Spoo! :o

RE: BIG BROTHER
I don't know who i want to win. Not sheila. Not sharon. Not ryan. And not really adam. I really need to think about it. I am really annoyed with ryan/adam. They should have just told nat the truth. At least when they confronted her she was honest about her loyalties. It's pretty that ryan was annoyed with nat for double dealing. When he has deals with everybody left!

Speaking of cleansing, I started a detox a few days ago.

Re: tonight's survivor. I am so sad. They kicked out my favorite player. :( And i totally did not see it coming. For those who don't watch it's fans vs favorites. And the favorites had a terrific alliance of ozzy, amanda, james, parvatti and cirie. Well cirie and parv decided to vote out ozzy. The only thing is he had the immunity idol which if he had played it he could have been saved. I personally thought that there was a 50% chance cirie/parv would actually turn on ozzy. And i was sure he would use his idol to be safe. But they flipped and he didn't use his idol. And i am so sad. He is my favorite survivor this season. And one of my favorites from all seasons. I can't believe cirie flipped. Now who is her alliance? Stupid!

Yes, DR TCB....Mr Hamlisch is the third one.
-
Nice episodes of EARL and THE OFFICE this evening. Can't vouch for 30 ROCK since this is only the second time I have seen it.....not quite my kind of show - but it certainly had it's moments.
-
Greetings from beautiful Zanesville, Ohio! My rendezvous with our speaker from Illinois went smoothly at the Columbus airport and we arrived at the hotel before 6pm. We joined our wonderful LAG and another speaker for dinner at an Italian place in town and now everybody's crashing. Formalities begin tomorrow at 11:30am.
Thanks for the vibes, DRs Jane and TCB!
-
Wonderful DR GINNY.
Have a great time!
-
Nearly time for ELI STONE
-
DR Ginny, I am speaking tomorrow for a group of retired professionals. I changed my topic yesterday and will prepare my remarks tonight....guess I wouldn't be on you "good" list....
LOL, DR Cillaliz! Just don't tell the people in charge and everything will be fine. And you'll always be on my "good" list...
For tomorrow, I'm now speaking about immigration. My handout will be the test you have to take to become a citizen.
I went to a similar program in February and found it so interesting. Break a leg tomorrow!
-
Wonderful DR GINNY.
Have a great time!
Thanks, DR JRand!
-
Comfort vibes to DR DakotaCelt.
-
I hope TCB gets a picture of Ann and Jed.
-
Me too!

Good Evening!
I'm back from A Chorus Line... I left after the fourth Montage ("Gimme the ball").
As for Mr. Lopez, well...
This is his - well, Zach's - new costume:

Ginny, what did you find most interesting in the program you went to?
-
And this is Mario's new fitness book - which is not yet available for sale in the bookstores, but you can purchase it in the lobby of the Schoenfeld Theatre NOW! ;)

How many copies did you buy, DR JoseSPiano? ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DYLAN![/size][/color]

How many copies did you buy, DR JoseSPiano? ;)
None. It's $30 at the theatre, so I'll just wait to buy it at Border's with one of my coupons. ;)

CALLIE AND BOO SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DYLAN!!!!!!

Ginny, what did you find most interesting in the program you went to?
Linda had a handout outlining immigration myths and realities - I could send you a copy when I get home. Too late for tomorrow, but maybe for another time. She also quizzed us with some of the naturalization questions and we did horribly!

Thanks Ginny. I can easily put one of those together before tomorrow.

Laptop battery is running low and mine is, too.
See y'all in the morning!
-
Thanks from Dylan to Cilla and singdaw!
(And Dylan says to thank you to anyone I might have missed)
-
Ooh, Ginny's next post is lucky #7777
-
Magnus wenst Dylan een gelukkige verjaardag en een heel gezond jaar met vele traktaties.

Magnus is a Keeshond (aka Dutch barge dog)

I had a wonderful entertaining evening of shows.
I began by finishing the bit of PSYCH I didn't quite get to. I did remember who the thief/murderer was, but I remember not getting it the first time the show aired. It's only been on two years, but how young everyone looks!
-
Next I watched LIVE FREE AND DIE HARD on Blu-ray. This was my second viewing, and it's just as outrageous and just as entertaining as the first time I saw it. Completely over-the-top, but oh, boy, what a feast for the HD 1080p eyes and the DTS-HD-MA ears.
-
I finished it with about four minutes to spare before SMALLVILLE started. Surprising episode of SMALLVILLE.
A fatality for one of the regulars. Not a huge surprise but certainly there are other characters I would have eliminated before this one.
-
THE OFFICE was especially hilarious tonight and also dreamily romantic with Jim and Pam. Great show!
-
Then I watched 30 ROCK which I had recorded during SMALLVILLE. Dean Winters returned as Liz's former boy friend. He was really funny, and he and Tina Fey make a great dysfunctional couple.
I still don't think the show is as funny as THE OFFICE. The humor for 30 ROCK is very "in" in show biz circles, but I suspect why the general public hasn't really cottoned to it yet in large numbers.
-
And then ELI STONE had its very moving season finale.
I was SO sure that the entire episode was going to be one of his delusions that would convince him not to go through with the surgery. Boy, was I wrong!
-
I still have MY NAME IS EARL to watch tomorrow.
-
I don't have any writing to do tonight, so it might be a good idea just to go to bed early tonight.
Good night!

TOD - In January, I started keeping track of my eating points using the Weight Watchers website, it worked really well. I've stopped keeping track but have attempted to stay with the plan which has turned into a way of life. So far, I've lost somewhere around 40 pounds, and almost 2 pant sizes. There is no end in sight and it feels great.
-
For tomorrow, I'm now speaking about immigration. My handout will be the test you have to take to become a citizen.
So, you enjoy humiliating your audience!
