News headline in Phoenix, AZ, today:

Snow flurries all over the Valley

I saw a bit, but thought it was hail. It wasn't as hard as hail, though -- fluffier.

Ah - yet more familiar faces at "Grease Academy"... Including one of DR TCB's "favorites", my friend/guy I got this apartment from, Nick. -Alas, he hasn't been featured so far.

Yeah, but does he take his shirt off?

Just returned from my mom's where we tried to burn some photos onto a CD. For the life of us neither she nor I could remember how to do it...she has so many photos on her hard drive that she needs to get them off and onto disks.

That's funny, I went to do exactly the same thing at my sister's tonight. Except she really didn't have that may pictures to burn. And we were successful.

Maybe it's not that funny.

I do not like Dr Seuss books.

Would you like them with a fox?

Hooray for the Colts! After halftime I was afraid I might not have anybody to root for in the Super Bowl.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #288 on:** January 21, 2007, 07:52:58 PM »

DR MBarnum - If the pictures are already on the hard-drive, the easy way to do it is to simply drag and drop the files. Find the directory where the pictures are stored. Highlight the ones you want to backup, and drag them to the "blank disc" directory. -Of course, be sure to insert a blank disc into the CD-ROM drive first. And if they're all in one directory, just drag the directory to the CD "drive".

-And some photo programs have a "burn to disc" option too.

Re: GREASE ACADEMY.

spoilers.

I wonder what the twist will be. I don't really think it would be fair for them to include new people to the final 12. They specifically told the group that one of them would be the new sandy and danny. If they hadn't made the rules clear then i would not have cared.

As for who they chose, it seemed quite clear that they did not want to take a chance on anyone who might not be able to do it. I really liked that girl ashley (who the co-writer loved). She had such a star quality to her. But i doubt she could do 8 shows a week and it was clear they were not going to take a chance on her.

SAme with that guy (he was the final one they cut). So obvious they were going to take max over him (since he is one of the most talented).

As for who the chose, I really like juliana. And unlike previous weeks she was really featured a lot. I also like the ballerina (ashley). And i like laura. I don't recall seeing her before the group number at the end.

As for the guys i like chad. And i do like max. There were a few others they chose who i did not like at all.

And as for the panel (marilu henner, marissa jaret winokur...) what exactly did they do? They never showed them giving any type of input.

Also does anyone know how voting occurs? Is it online to? I'm curious if it will be US only (like IDOL) or if it will be for everyone (like DANCING WITH THE STARS).

I do not smoke. I have never smoked, other than probably two cigarettes and three or four cigars in my life. Every couple years I do find that I can enjoy a good cigar, most often tied to some cause for celebration, such as the evening of my college graduation. I grew up with a cigarette-smoking father (thankfully quit about two years ago... too bad the emphyzema has grabbed some hold anyway), and rather detest the smell that never goes away.

As for the banning of smoking, however... I didn't mind too much when restaurants went totally non-smoking in Washington state some years ago, but the bars did so last January after a ballot initiative which I voted against. Sure, I personally much prefer going into bars that are smoke-free, but would much prefer the decision to be so be made by the owner of the establishment rather than the state.

This Grease thing wouldn't be nearly so interesting without the insights provided by DRs Jose, Elmore, etc. I did find tonight's episode the most interesting so far. Are all these reality/elimination shows so chopped up? Other than one season of Beauty and the Geek, which I watched with DS Rob ("It's the story of my life, Mom"), this is the first one I've really followed.

Since I didn't get a picture of ME in Tacoma today, here are a couple of pictures of my newly decorated living room. This is the left side of the room:

And here's the right side of the room. The white square is where the wall was cut open and the leaky pipe fixed, then the wall was fixed. Now I just have to paint it and it's all done!

DR Jennifer -

POSSIBLE SPOILERS

-The panel of celebrity judges were not judges, they were just audience members. They showed their judgment by their reaction and applause while watching the performers.

-As for the "ringers" being brought in... Well... BK mentioned that "possibility" last week... So...

-And I've discussed this with a couple of people here in NYC... Who's to say the winner will actually play all 8 shows each week? They've only been saying the winner will star in a Broadway show. It doesn't say for how long, how many performances, or even if there's a guarantee that their contracts will be renewed after their initial stint is up. I seriously doubt that if it turns out "America" made a mistake, that David Ian would keep a less-than-stellar person in the role(s). There's always an "out" - on both sides. -And if recall correctly, when Andrew Lloyd Webber started his "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?" program, the original prize was to be the alternate/matinee Maria. -Yes, still a starring role on the West End, just not for every performance.

-And it was "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?" that was the direct "cause" of "Grease: You're The One That I Want", so... Yet something else we can blame on Andrew Llow Webber.

*And I don't think I've heard the current London revival of The Sound of Music mentioned at all on "Grease...". -And David Ian is one of the producers of the that revival.

The editing is driving me mad too! Especially during the songs. Some very strange cuttings, and they even had some synching issues - "Oh, that's why they went to a long shot."

At least the producers only chose to feature/humiliate a couple of the losers.

*And one of my roomies works with one of the featured losers... Something tells me it's going to be an interesting week at the restaurant.
