Last night we watched "Been Rich All My Life" I would not have known about this wonderful documentary if it had not been for DR Edisauras (who in fact has probably never mentioned it - but there is a connection).

After mentioning that - a Cotton Club dance routine would be appropriate.

Good luck vibes for Boo-Key!

I got a few errands done....had a nice birthday lunch with DR Kerry midday...went to the chiro....got one more errand done....and just fed Sugar.

So at least I feel semi-productive today! But sometimes it is good to just let yourself be in "neutral" for a little bit. It's a good time to reflect, think, appreciate, etc.

Tapioca is a dish best served cold !! (and large!)

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.

DR Lar, what channels do you watch? I have NEVER seen this commercial!

Yes, First Run, our distributor, has some good stuff. I bought "A Touch of Greatness", which I really enjoyed. It was a doc about teacher Albert Cullum, with wonderful archival footage by Robert Downey, Sr. If you go to their website, you can see a nice chunk of it in their trailer park, as well as the "Been Rich" trailer.

I love tapioca. And Brain Tap-ioca.

Beautiful pix, DR Laura!

Glad you liked the film, DR Tomovoz. Check out the trailer for "A Touch of Greatness". It will make you feel good!

Before Xerox machines, or maybe because it was too expensive to do this, we produced our orchestra parts via an ammonia blueprint process. (I used to be a music copyist.) The first time you opened the pages, the smell of ammonia was almost overpowering. Mimeograph ink was more pleasant!

I was one of the last of my friends to get a computer and a cell phone, but now I don't know what I would do without them. I try to be polite when using the phone. If I am in a restaurant or store, I will usually go outside, unless the call has to do with what I'm buying, like at the grocery. I am annoyed by people that wear the blue-tooth and have loud conversations---likewise people who answer their phones at inappropriate times (unless they're a surgeon or something when it's an important call!)

Since I free-lance and work at different places or out-of-town, (and I'm usually rarely home until 11PM) a cell phone is a necessary evil.

TOD: I learned how to run a ditto machine and a mimeograph machine in high school secretary class, but never used either one working. When I was a court reporter, we used carbon paper, which I am not even sure one could find any more.

One out of two ain't bad.

I wonder how they each looked?

If you're here for S&V, you might catch it. It's for Health Plan of New York (HIP). The two commercials have this overweight overripe woman with the voice of a cockatoo saying she'sd going to jump through a flaming zero on a motorcycle. In her earlier example of classic commercials. she grabs a microphone and tries to do standup comedy with drum hits as she screams the benefits of being a HIP member. I wish God would strike dead her employers and cease these atrocious displays of poor writing and performance.

I think I'll have some ice cream.

Is ice cream a dish best served cold?

I never said Mickey Mantle - I said Stan Musial - he was a Cardinal, you know.

bk · « **Reply #291 on:** February 01, 2007, 05:21:23 PM »

Stan Musial is a dish best served cold. All right, I'm going to shower and get ready to be on my way to a double bill.

Did you ever KNOW you had a CD, know it with a certainty, yet no matter how hard you look you can't find it anywhere? This has now happened twice - I'm worried that there's a box in the garage that has some CDs in it.

I decided to melt that ice cream in the microwave, and you know what? I'm thinking ice cream is a dish best served at room temperature

FJL · « **Reply #295 on:** February 01, 2007, 05:24:34 PM »

I think I dated some flaming zeroes back in the 1980's.

There's a special report on REVENGE on ABC tomorow night. They just advertised it during Ugly Betty.

How does Ugky Betty get away with such a blatant gay sterotype? The show seems to laugh at him, not with him.

I shall return after the double bill, but Ye Olde Notes may go up a bit late this evening.

Because he's the evil fashion gay; Betty's nephew is the good gay.

Is it me or is Sarah Jessica Parker in these commercials looking old and not very attractive?

Isn't "One of the Good Gays" a song by Maltby & Shire?
