Certainly Patricia Neal and Shirley Jones would be at the top of the list.  But I liked working with almost everyone.  In the early years, I can't say there was a disappointment - everyone I worked with was a pro and really great to me.  I mean, I was in an episode of The Super (is that on Michael Shayne's list - the things that come back to you), a short-lived series from Rob Reiner, and I detested Richard Castellano, although he was fine to me personally - but he was sort of a jerk to everyone else.

The Super is in my list, bit I have so little information on this show. Not even a photo or an episode list.

I've read this morning that THE DA VINCI CODE has received incredibly bad reviews in its Cannes press premier.  I guess I don't have to bother hurrying to read the book, now.

I would still read the book, Dan.  It is a great work of fiction.

And re: them most likely renewing ONE TREE HILL and not EVERWOOD. I like EVERWOOD a lot. But I can understand why the network would want to keep TREE HILL.  It has a huge teen star (Chad Michael Murray).  And I guess the new network wants to have a shot at a younger fan base.


A younger fan base?  Currently the two networks combined have a target audience that is pre-Clearasil.

I'd have the titles on the scripts, which are all in storage and hard to get to.  The only thing I remember about If I Had A Million was Peter Kastner and Joseph Wiseman, who were the two people I worked with - and that we shot on the Santa Monica Pier.  I don't even remember who the director was.  I do believe they aired it, though.

There's a new cell phone wrinkle.  Now people don't have to turn them off - they can put them on "vibrate" - I've now sat near people on several recent occasions where they open their stupid cell phones to see who's vibrating them, and of course these cells all light up when they do so, which is almost as distracting as it ringing - and then some of these mongoloids TEXT MESSAGE their idiot pals while they're sitting there in the audience.  I kid you not, Virginia.


I used to have one of those phones that vibrate.  One evening I called myself ten times.

LOL George!  I will play it for Keith.  He walked in while I was typing my post and laughed.

The door guy is guy & of course will have to return again.  I will spare you all the details.  

I’m heading outside to see what assistance I can give Keith.

It seems the medication has certainly not dulled everything TCB.

Today was Part 2 of the root canal, and it hurt almost as much as Part 1.  So, I am currently on a double dose of Vitamin V.

And Tomovoz, would you please convince your niece, Angel, that it is not time for dinner.

Well, that makes sense!  I thought you were trying to say that the door guy was gay, and I couldn't figure out why that meant he had to come back tomorrow.

Well, perhaps he might have left something behind.....

...or maybe dropped a few pins....

Now it's a tad later, of course.  But I'm operating 5 minutes in everyone else's past for some reason.

He just has to return because he is incompetent and keeps screwing up.

The water guy came to put a new part into our system which should get rid of the sulfur order in our water.  After a couple of hours of work & no water in the house he discovers the wrong part was installed.  He will be returning next week. ::)

Let's see if this works:  I know the context is different, but Jane (and anyone else), turn on your speakers and click on the screamer!

Keith said that is just what I sound like.  ;D

Congrats on completion!! I wonder when we'll get to see your efforts translated to the screen.

The one I just handed in - I have no idea. It has to be greenlit by the network first. (I won't ask for "Greenlight Vibes" as there are so many more Vibe-worthy events going on at HHW. But if you have Vibes to spare...)

The one that starts shooting next week will be broadcast at Thanksgiving. It stars the lovely Miss Molly Ringwald.
BTW - My plans to do errands and relax my aching back didn't get far. I got a call on my cell from the production office (of the one that's about to shoot) asking for some minor quick fixes. So I had to come home to do them.

Hi all, I decided to bring my computer after all and have found a wireless connection so here I am.  My mother was SOOO surprised to see me show up at her PEO meeting today. She had no idea they were honoring her for her 60 years in PEO - an organization that means a lot to her.  She had lovely flowers and a lovely tribute was read to her.  I am so glad I went up there today.
