Der Brucer is watching Knight Rider reruns. The music sounds like something from a cheap porno video.

I'm not listening or watching anything, except for Alias last night, which we had taped (and then I had to wait until he was finished watching everything he wanted to watch).

I will have my revenge. I'm thinking of tieing him up and making him watch a Dr. Who DVD that I've been saving for a special occasion.

Today is St. Jerome's day. St. Jerome is the patron of librarians and students (appropriate for a number of DRs).

Let us toast him, and them, with some mulled cider, because today is also National Mulled Cider Day!

I'm meeting my pal David Wechter for an impromptu lunch - I won't be eating anything but maybe a small salad, as I'm saving myself for the big Hisaka meal later - still have no idea where we're going - might try to find a nice Eyetalian jernt.

The raging fire was but 200 feet from David's house - they had to evacuate, but miraculously, the firefighters did a great job and contained the fire there, and the neighborhood came through unscathed.

Um, something is not computing. Last post over an HOUR ago, and I'm the only one in the jernt??? Um, something is not computing. What will be computing is that I will be bitch-slapping all the errant and truant from here to eternity and hell and back.

Have not heard a peep from Hisaka. I can't remember when she was getting in, but the fires may have slowed the airport down a bit, even though they are nowhere near the airport.

Friday greetings!

My long last day here is going very slowly, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

TOD - CD (car) - Ragtime Original Cast Recording.

DVD - Six Feet Under, Season 4, Disc 1.

Probably not much other media for me this weekend, because I have an all-day meeting in Columbus Saturday, My Fair Lady matinee Sunday, and Middletown's annual international festival, Middfest, all weekend. The cultural focus this year is indigenous peoples from 6 previously-featured countries. Oh, yeah, I have to get ready to leave for NYC/Atlanta, too!

Topic of the Day:

In my CD player: nothing. I have too much to do at work and I can't just sit and listen...yet. A little later in the afternoon, I will be able to, and I'll decide what to listen to then.

In my DVD player: "Bent" from Netflix, and a couple others that I can't remember what they are.

In my VCR: tapes of new shows from this past week that I haven't watched yet. "Battlestar Galactica" is over for the season, but "Ghost Whisperer" and "Threshold" are on tonight.

I just got this in an e-mail:

I went into a B.P. gas station the other day and asked for five dollars worth of gas. The clerk farted and gave me a receipt.

From Bruce last night.

What a wonderful meal we had, except Pogue FORCED me to eat so much food - he MADE me do it - chicken, three side dishes, onion rings - I feel like I'm going to explode.

Sure, just like I made you eat whipped cream.

Friday night in LA and dinner for Mr BK & Hisaka. Maybe you should go to the watering hole where all the stars gather at sundown.

ALIAS comments and thus spoilers

DR Jennifer, I believe Michael Vartan is gone from ALIAS. They could have been faking his death and allow him to come back from the "dead" later in the season, but from everything I have read, Garner wanted him off the show, and he's gone.

If you noticed, the credits were simply done over the action rather than an actual credit sequence. I'm thinking maybe the new credits will omit him starting next week.

But I hope the death was faked. It's hard to imagine ALIAS without Michael Vartan.

There were some things done to hide Garner's expanding body early in the opening scenes. I guess they jumped four months later on in the episode so that starting next week, they won't have to be so careful showing her.

Show certainly had some taut sequences as it always has done very well with. But now the show kind of starts itself over again (yet another reinvention) next week. I'll see how it goes.

Now I am intrigued by The Long Ships and The Vikings. Eventually they will be owned!

I watched CSI off the DVR after watching ALIAS. An average episode. Last night, we got some personal information about lab rat Hodges. Why after all these seasons they feel we're interested in the personal lives of these characters, I just don't know. These are not character based shows. They are triumphantly plot driven and should stay that way. I find that kind of thing intrusive to the action.

It's one thing to have Nick involved with a prostitute who turns up dead or Warrick to be dating a lounge singer who's hooked on heroin. But that information was in each case intrinsic to the story. Learning about Hodges' love ife was not.

I then watched the first hour of the JAMES DEAN - FOREVER YOUNG documentary.

Thing that surprised me most about Dean's career: he continuing acting on live and filmed TV shows even after making EAST OF EDEN and becoming a big movie star. I had thought all of his TV work was a stepping stone to being discovered for films. According to the documentary, he had many friends in New York, felt a family connection to them and went back there to see them and act on TV between making EAST OF EDEN and REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE.

I still have REUNION and THE OFFICE to watch from the DVR before I start on network TV tonight, too.

DR Tomovoz - thank you for posting Maureen's letter.

Thanks to all of you who expressed such nice comments about my new avatar. I think I will keep it for a little while. Also, thanks to all who offered good wishes on the opening of MY FAIR LADY. I think it will be a good show. How can it help but be with all these HHW vibes being sent my way?
