This morning I went for a walk. The sky was gray and the light was all wrong for photos. But this is what I saw:

Spring is coming. The birds are beginning to pair up:

Well, DR Elmore, I was in that production and probably still have the program. Shall I send you a photocopy?

Thanks, dear! I've got one here somewhere.

Spring....I wonder if it is time for me to pair up, too?

Ron, you'll be happy to know, vis a vis yesterday's question about the new Intrada release, that through clever deduction (major composers of the era, studios that will license to that label, and a few other things) Nick and I have narrowed it down to five titles, two of which we pretty much discount. Hence, we have narrowed it down to three titles - we're told we're VERY warm, which means it's one of the three.

Have any of the three been named in that FSM Messageboard thread? Including the one Lukas, himself, suggested as a possibility?

A very Kerry Birthday to DR Kerry!!!

In honor of being hungry, I went to the restaurant at the Oakland Museum and had lentil soup, and meat loaf with a salad and roasted potatoes w/garlic cloves.

It is, after all, Thursday.

bk and MattH or anyone who really keeps up on the business of TV - In this day of darn-near-immediate computerized statistics for ratings being available all year round, doesn't the practice of "sweeps" months just seem ridiculous? Or at least kind of silly?

For the national ratings it is totally silly, but for smaller and average sized TV markets that don't get overnight ratings but instead still have ratings "books," Nielsen only can afford to do this three times a year.

Egrets? I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention.

So I won't.

And just think, starting tomorrow...and lasting every day through January 31st of next year, he can have "a very Kerry UNbirthday"!

Statistics prove, prove that you've ONE birthday. ONE birthday every year. But there are 364 UN-Birthdays, and that is why we gather here to say...

I finshed the episode of BONES that I had started last night and hadn't finished: the one with the kidnapped child. Zeljko Ivanek played the father.

I watched another one, the one with the man found sealed in the 1958 bomb shelter. Among my three favorite episodes of the entire first season.

I missed MEDIUM last night. I had to watch the TOP CHEF finale. Lordy, that Marcel had no personnel skills. I'm convinced that's why he lost.

DR RonPulliam, the blasted flaming zero lady just did her commercial. She does the damned thing about twice an hour. It's worse than her screaming nightclub act in their earlier commercial.

You've just save me the trouble of looking it up.

I was so INCENSED last week when that sniveling woman chef decided she had to state that Marcel had no respect for the kitchen or the food, and that he cheated....and then couldn't back up anything she said with any example that wasn't childish and ridiculous.

Yes, Marcel was his own special being. But they were such bitches. They were pretty selfish in their own rights.

I'd have loved to see Marcel win, but...oh, well. He was better than all the rest of those who went home.

Ah, the day is winding down. I didn't get everything done I wanted to, but I've done enough. Everyone here is being SOOO nice today, but then they always are to my face.

It's actually been a pretty good day.

Tonight is opening night for the LACC One-Acts (...thank God!...), so opening night vibes - and opening afternoon vibes for the other bill - would be very much appreciated! And with that, I am off to the races...er...I mean, to get ready for the shows. I get to be the House Manager for this afternoon's Blue Bill performance, after which I get to ready myself for the Red Bill's big night.

MUCH OPENING NIGHT LEG BREAKAGE (but not literally) TO CASON AND PERFORMERS!!

I was supporting Ilan or Sam, not just because they're New Yorkers, but because they seemed like good guys. Elia blew her credibility last week when she pulled the sore loser routine. In the cookoff last night, Marcel's lack of personnel skills and abrasive attitude to his support team screwed his chances of winning because the chefs who assisted had to report to the judges what the work experience was like. Ilan came off as a supportive boss and a patient organized chef. Marcel lost one of his courses because his record keeping was poor and he left it behind, so Sam had to help him rethink the course. He may be a good cook, but he needs to grow up and learn two words: humility and generosity.

I next watched ANOTHER GAY MOVIE, a gay carbon copy of AMERICAN PIE. To say that it was a broadly played farce is to underestimate the cartoonishness of the portrayals. I'll admit I laughed in a couple of places, but the movie went out of its way to be as raunchy as it could be, and that kind of humor wears itself out fast for me.

James Getzlaff, the guy looking for love on BOY MEETS BOY reality show some years ago, played a jock named Beau, and because he was playing it as a real person rather than a cartoon, he was the most appealing for me. Of course, his naturalistic performance really didn't fit into this broad comic world (where Lipsynka plays the mother of one of the guys), but he was definitely the character I liked best. Better to do a film about him.

Graham Norton played one of the high school teachers of the boys (one of the guys has a huge crush on him), and he had some funny moments. Scott Thompson and Richard Hatch (post SURVIVOR, pre-jail) also were in the film.
