Haines His Way

My first new page in a week.

I won't dance...but Mickey and Judy sure will!!

It is such a rotten day!  I've been waiting for a check from Ms Prince as well as my publisher, but once again NADA!  Pisses me off; I hate begging employers for what's due to me.  I have a headache, the Chicago project is driving me mad (a short drive, as my friends know), and I'm sick of being wet.

Crap.

Having lived in his home environment for 3 days, I can assure you that "crap" is not the strongest language being used by our friend Elmore3003! LOL!

PS: Elmore3003, you VHS of Sunday's Desp. Housewives should be arriving any time now...along with an episode each of 77 SUNSET STRIP and HAWAIIAN EYE (they were one Monday night so I taped them for you).

No SURSIDE SIX?  H-E-Double hockey sticks! (pronounced fuck)

DRMBarnum, you know I adore you!

FJL I wasn’t even tempted to taste your Matzoh Brei,

I will return much later today as I'm off to do errands.

OH, I would have! I so loved my first taste of Matzoh Ball Soup!! Yum!

Potential SPOILERS about Last night's "Lost":

The show is really expanding its storylines into strange and unusual realms.

I'm fascinated...especially by the "other" underground structure where our castways were taken.

Did anyone get a little concerned about the fact that there "were" 23 of them but there don't seem to be that many left any more?  Were they EATEN, perhaps?

If they had to do a last, final series episode right now, I'd recommend that the final shot be of all the survivors in a hospital, hooked up to various machines where they've been since the plane went down.

And of all the passengers on the flight's manifesto, the only ones who didn't survive were the ones in the seat numbers that match that set of numbers that plagues Hurley and that pop up all the time.

Jack and the new chick were in two of Hurley's #s She was in row 42 and he was in row 16 with others.

For the Sondheim fans out there


The second volume of Sondheim Sings, like the first, includes newly remastered demos from the composer-lyricist's private collection. A 40-page color booklet will accompany the CD.

The track listing of "Sondheim Sings: Volume II (1946-60)" follows. The "Steve Greets Ockie" tracks refer to a brief Christmas greeting Sondheim recorded for his mentor Oscar Hammerstein II in 1943.

2. "Do I Hear a Waltz?" (from Do You Hear a Waltz?, 1960)
3. "Pour le Sport" (from The Last Resorts, 1956)
4. "Men" (from By George, 1946)
5. Steve Greets Ockie 1 (1943)

16. "High Life" (from The Last Resorts)
17. "Where Do I Belong?" (from Climb High)
18. "Bitterness" (from By George)/Steve Greets Ockie 2

I thought about the cannibalism aspect of the survivors, too, DR Ron. Should be interesting revelations in the weeks to come.

VERONICA MARS continues to be fascinating, wonderful, mysterious, eventful, and FUN! So many surprises on last night's show.

And DR Jennifer, you should have some of your questions about the name on the hand explained by this week's episode.

ABALONE, baby, ABALONE!

I fear I shall not be eating until after seven this evening.

I saw earlier today that British playwright Harold Pinter has won this year's Nobel Prize for Literature.

Much deserved, but I will never forgive the Nobel committee for not recognizing either Tennessee Williams nor Arthur Miller for their lifetime of work.

I'm off to clean the bedroom areas and then settling in for a great night of TV.

WBBL in the evening.

SPOILERS REDUX

That's what I get for procrastinating on ordering the first season on DVD!

I was onto something, but walking down a parallel pathway.

Is anyone other than me becoming EXTREMELY concerned about "bird flu"?

I have enough problems as it is with crapola in the air...and the idea of a potentially fatal airborne virus (that would affect many of the same bodyparts as the "sensitivities" I suffer do) has me wondering what precautions I might begin considering.
