I eventually received my copy of the "Cars" soundtrack.The perfect combination - Randy Newman and James Tayor. "Our Town" - This is the song that should win the Oscar but won't.

Dance time but Randy Newman says "You Can Leave Your Hat On".

Mr Newman also gave us the delightful warning

"Beware Of The Naked Man".

I began my afternoon with the show I normally watch at the end of Thursday evening off the DVR: CSI.

It continued the "miniature killer" storyline that's been a running one for most of this season, and even with an arrest last night, the storyline still isn't concluded. We haven't heard the last of this madman.

Next I watched last nigt's SMALLVILLE. A pretty good episode as things go with a person who can identify "meteor-infected" people being used by Lex to round up for folks for his dangerous experiments.

I don't think CHloe was infected. I think Clark passing by so fast in front of CHloe made it seem as if it were she that he was seeing. Clark doesn't think he's meteor-infected, but if he isn't, no one is.

Next, I watched the 1929 COQUETTE.

I can see some of the appeal for you, DR MBarnum, but I thought it was a really mediocre melodrama, even for the period in which it was made. (It might have been a bit more palatable if the time period had been in the 1860s rather than its being a modern film.)

Mary Pickford is about twenty years too old for the role she's playing, and while I wouldn't say it's the worst performance to ever win an Oscar, I wouldn't say it's worthy either. (I'd guess Ruth Chatterton's MADAME X was probably the most deserving, but I haven't seen all of the other nominees and have only seen excerpts of CHatterton's, but what I saw was much more impressive than Pickford's hammy emoting.)

The movie is exactly like you'd expect a 1929 movie to look and sound. There's a title card prior to the film that says it had been restored by UCLA, so that means the elements it had to work with must have been near-death. Much of the film is in very bad shape even after restoration.

Glad I saw it, but I'd never need to see it again.

I finished the afternoon with 30 ROCK, an only moderately amusing comedy last night with the staff taking advantage of Liz's wanting to be liked and Tracy embarrassing Jack at an exclusive country club. All pretty predictable, though there were two or three very funny lines.

I just read in VARIETY that Fox has renewed both HOUSE and BONES for next season. Yay!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #159 on:** February 16, 2007, 02:35:47 PM »

I've just read that Cronenberg's "The Fly" is being made into an Opera bound for Paris and then LA. Perhaps all of the screen writer's contribution has been cast aside or swatted.

Tan cotton slacks, Red rayon bowling shirt, copper colored cardigan from a dead guy's estate sale, white socks, black shoes.

Just typing that out makes me realize I do not know how to dress myself sometimes.

It seems like that would be more appropriate for SMALLVILLE.

What I want to know, re: all the red food coloring: Does it manifest itself in any way AFTER you've consumed it?

Does it stain the teeth, the tongue?

Does it alter the color of anything the body rids itself of...later?

I don't know about red food coloring, but der Brucer and I love beets.

No, they don't stain the teeth or the tongue.

And yes, they alter the color of anything the body rids itself of... later.

Hello all from my new office computer!!! It arrived early and the UPS man was nice enough to take it down and load it in my car (which I had conveniently parked, hoping for just such an occurrence.

It's way cool. Not sure I particularly like Vista, but I don't really dislike it, other than the 10 million "Danger Will Robinson" pop-ups

So now I'm loading software. Microsoft finally figured out that I've loaded my Office 2003 in a couple of my own computers and won't let me authenticate it on this one. Luckily I have Wordperfect Suite and it reads Word documents, so I'm considering going without it

Today, I finally finished Liz Callaway's chart, which was 40 pages for full symphony orchestra. I then listened to the numbers I need to do fro Kevin, and after that, I played the complete Brain for the first time (my rough mix was missing "Saucers in the Sky"). Boy, it sounds good! I laughed, I chuckled, I boogied during the Entr'Acte. It's the first moment of real joy I've had in a week and it felt wonderful. I love The Brain From Planet X!!!!

Glad you had some joy, DR Elmore. And about that snow drift, that sort of thing can happen to even the most seasoned of drivers...no need to feel inept or inadequate.

Things were slightly crazy at work today. Lots of shoppers getting ready for the three-day weekend. And lots of shoppers wanting cash back, instead of going to the bank. I don't think I had more than five twenties in my drawer all day! I'd get some in, and out they'd go again.

And what is it with people coming in with hundred dollar bills, and buying less than ten dollars worth of stuff? Like I'm supposed to be impressed because they're waving hundred dollar bills around? Seen 'em before, honey. That doesn't make you rich.
