Very scary indeed, Jane.

Yes Laura. Be careful out there. I can't imagine why the bees swarmed down like that. I hope those women recover. I'm amazed they made it to the hospital, I doubt I would.

They are no doubt africanized bees.

Big hug to DR Elmore and vibes of peace to the family of Uncle Bob. This month last year, mom my lost her younger brother, my Uncle Bob, so I sent notes to all of his kids on the "anniversary".

That's funny, because Betsy and I were just saying how this season's SURVIVOR has been more fun to watch than the last several seasons.

I think it might just be that I am losing interest in the show. I so look forward to THE AMAZING RACE each week, and ditto for BIG BROTHER when it is on during the summer, but when it comes to SURVIVOR it is always like I can put off watching it, and then I have to force myself to do so...or at least it feels that way.

Besides, with James having been eliminated from the game....well...he was awful good scenery!

THE DAILY LEVITY:

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb? (see each breeds' answers below)

1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?

2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.

3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

4. Rottweiler: Make me.

5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!

7. German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, checked to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.

8. Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.

9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb! Is this a trick question?

10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

11. Chihuahua : Yo quiero Taco Bulb. Or . . ..."We don't need no stinking light bulb."

12. Greyhound/Saluki: It isn't moving? Who cares?!

13. Heeler/Australian Cattle Dog: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...

14. Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

How many cats does it take to change a light bulb?

Don't get cute!! Cats do not change light bulbs! People change light bulbs. So, the real question is:

"How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?"

It's a gloriously warm and sunny day in the ATL---finally!

And even though I only had an hour to enjoy the ocean breeze on Wed., I feel somewhat recharged!

While I ate lunch, I watched last night's PROJECT RUNWAY.

Now, I DESPISE team competitions. I have said that before and will continue to say it every time PR decides to do one. They're never fair (though this one seemed more equitable than most have been in the past), and the person who lost deserved to lose. The team who won also did very good work with two striking pieces.

I would like to have seen more of the garment in one of the lower ranked teams, the one that the judges all liked. Didn't really get a chance to see it from all angles long enough to tell about its craftsmanship. It was quite striking at a glance (but SO similar to what this designer has been doing all season).

Next I watched the 1935 GO INTO YOUR DANCE. A wonderful song score for the movie even though Ruby Keeler, though just one year removed from her hit DAMES, looks like she had aged 10 years. She looked SO matronly, not at all the ingenue she was playing. (I guess being married to Al Jolson did that to her.)

I had totally forgotten that the great Helen Morgan was in this. She only got to sing one real number (we got to hear snatches of another), and she played a selfish, rather bitchy part, but it was good to see her in another movie from this same period of her life as SHOW BOAT which would come along the next year.

I didn't have time to watch GAMBIT, the next movie I had in my queue to watch today, so I went ahead and took THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG off the show and watched it again in Blu-ray. A lovely, tuneful animated film. It's joyous to see and hear in high def video and audio.

Matt H. · « **Reply #112 on:** March 19, 2010, 01:24:24 PM »

After I skim through today's soap when I go back down, I'll watch GAMBIT and then, if there's time, TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA on Blu-ray.

The person who went home DESERVED to go home. I hated his snarky comments about his partner at the end...saying he hoped his partner wouldnt "throw him" under the bus. Over what? They worked professionally. Only he can take responsibility for the look "he" did...and it was ghastly. She did a wonderful garment...and -- again -- working "with" said person and following his input. It was funny to hear Heidi suggest that "she" must have assumed leadership even thought that was "his" responsibility. She did no such thing. Just did her work and kept her mouth shut.

Was this on TV or from a Busby Berkeley set or single DVD?
