Well, you've read the notes, the notes let it all hang out, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently letting it all hang out and it's not pretty.

And the word of the day is: NUMISMATIST!
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR JEANNE!!!!!
-
bk - Just remember, those people next door have only been working a few days. I know you're annoyed, but if you did - or do - go over, they'll just look at you and say, "We've only been working for three days..."
Save you level of annoyance for a few months from now when the days turn into weeks.. into months... into..
;)
-
And if any DR was thinking Twitter was not for them, well, then maybe Flutter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeLZCy-_m3s) is instead.
;D
-
And, now, to bed... to sleep...
Goodnight.
-
A Very Happy Birthday To DR Jeanne!! :D
-
Last night, I went to Seattle to see a production of Guys & Dolls, starring our very own TCB as Arvide Abernathy. The show was very well done and TCB was delightful and touching as Arvide. The actors who played Sky and Sarah were played by a real-life husband and wife. Everyone sang quite well and the five-piece band sounded real nice. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. :)
-
Good night, all.

HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAY WISHES

Happy Birthday, DR JEANNE!
-
Thanks, DR DAW - it was fun to see again....but Miss Annette was obviously having some trouble walking.....and when I saw the movie the first time, I kept thinking....what's wrong with her?
And like DR FJL....I would never ska without a net!
-
Great NYC pics from DR JOSE last night.

Today is a work day - oh well.

Short meeting vibes for MR BK.

HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO DR JEANNE!!!
-
BK I am sorry about the noise from next door and I hope your meeting goes well (and quickly!)
-
Yesterday I cooked breakfast, cleaned up the kitchen and then went to the hairdresser and had all the grey roots covered up
Vixdad is most pleased with the results
-
The I came home and planted a flat of impatiens and moved a hosta
I really hope my stamina comes back - I used to be able to plant 6 flats in a couple of hours - it took me nearly three hours to do the little I did and I was exhausted by the end of it
-
I had planned to come here last night and catch up but instead I fell asleep in the recliner by 7 PM
-
today we go to the 10:45 service where teh Vixter is singing and tehn come home and immediatley head out to our friends's baby boy's baptism about an hour northeast of us - up on the north shore on the east end of the Island looking over the beautiful Long Island Sound
Fortunately the weathermen were incorrect and we have been having a lovely, warm, sunny weeknd (so far)
After the actual baptism we head over to the family's home for a party
We haven't seen this couple since Halloween so we are very much looking forward to today
-
Tomorrow we have been invited out to a barbeque - so I hope the weather holds!
-
Tomorrow should be better barbecue weather.
-
Happy happy happy birthday to Jeanne!
-
Was there some technicality that kept THE SKA from being eligible for various Best song awards, i wonder.
-
I juts caught up to yesterday
I am sorry that Dan the man has been feeling under the weatehr and glad that things are better now
-
MATTH suggested a topic of the day a little while ago -
How many people here look at the extra features on DVDs?
In this house we are very dissapointed if there are no extra features - after we watch a movie we always check out the extras - our favorite is the "Deleted scenes"
The one thing we tend not to watch is the movie with commentary -
-
Well I better get started on my day - VIBES for a lovelerly Sunday for all and one
-
Good morning, all! I have a conductor stopping by around 11 for a tutorial on turn-of-the-century musical theatre reconstruction and he will be out of here, hopefully, by noon.
I've got more Frank Loesser and Jerome Moross to tackle today.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday To Our DR Jeanne !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do believe our DR Nursie has been hither and yon for the last few days!

Happy Birthday to DR Jeanne!

I enjoy seeing films with extras and sometimes disappointed when there are none.
-
I also like the commentary tracks...
But for a different reason.....
If I have difficulty sleeping.....
I put on a film and I am usually asleep in about 10-15 minutes.
Sometimes sooner
-
DR FJL - I would guess in the case of The Ska - good taste prevailed.
-
And now I must go to work.
-
Happy Happy Birthday, DR Jeanne!
-
I think Jane said she was going to be working on spring cleaning. I wonder if she took everything out in the yard, like on tv.
-
Good morning!
We've just had another light May shower though rain was not in the forecast until Tuesday. Looks like the sun is trying hard to come out, and the wet will steam everything up as the temp climbs toward 81 today.
-
Happy Birthday to DR Jeanne!!!
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR JEANNE!
;D ;D ;D
-
My favorite bonus feature is the "making-of" documentary if it's a movie I care about at all. Routinely, when I'm watching a disc for fun, I don't go to the bonuses, but if the film is a favorite, I will.
Of course, when I'm working, it's my job to watch everything, and some of those are VERY tedious indeed to get through.
-
I once again bounded out of bed early this morning to do about an hour of yard work. I had some bushes to trim and some vines to clip and douse with Roundup.
Thank goodness I got it done LONG before this little shower began. I would not have wanted to tramp around in the wet doing this chore.
-
A most happy birthday to DR Jeanne!

Today I'll likely be working on two review projects. SETH MACFARLANE'S CAVALCADE OF CARTOON COMEDY on Blu-ray is less than an hour long with only a couple of brief bonus features, so I'll do it first.
I have have a Paramount TV sampler of four of their drama series' first episodes: NCIS, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, MACGYVER, and WALER TEXAS RANGER. I'll work on these later in the afternoon and into the early evening.
-
After I finish with the work projects today, I'll find something fun to watch. Right now I'm leaning toward the second PLANET OF THE APES movie, but I might go for something else if I'm in a different mood tonight.
-
On TV Tonight!™
ABC - DIAMONDS
CBS - 60 MINUTES
NBC - DATELINE
FOX - NASCAR Race (held here in Charlotte this week)
SHO - THE TUDORS (season finale). TRACY ULLMAN
HBO - IN TREATMENT
-
And the word of the day is: NUMISMATIST!
And The Song Of The Day Is: THREE COINS IN THE FOUNTAIN
-
And if they did take everything out into the yard like on tv, I wonder how long until the computer gets set up again.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND BEGONE THE POX TO JEANNE
-
Well, all of Phoenix really enjoyed the respite from the already-hot weather. We had several days of cooler temps with cloudy gray skies, and even a couple days of light rain. It was great. Now the real heat for several months begins!
-
Good morning, everyone. Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes! I feel overwhelmed.
Today DF&H#3 and her DS and I will be driving down to San Clemente to visit her mother, who is 92, and having a birthday celebration there. DF&H#3 and I grew up together--her family lived next door. Her birthday is tomorrow. She's a year older, but I skipped fifth grade, so we ended up in the same class at school. Her brother will be there, too. We used to celebrate our birthdays together when we were kids.
-
And the pox are gone, thankfully.
-
We need to get on the road soon.
Hope everyone has a relaxed and restful day.
TTFN. And thanks again.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR, DEAR. DR JEANNE!!!!!
Hope it is happy and free of cares!
-
Happy Happy Day to Jeanne!
-
Vixmom is right, the weatherman has been wrong, it's a beautiful day on Long Island and it was beautiful yesterday also. Don't know what it will be like on Tuesday.

Heading downstairs now to get laundry ready for washing and then start thinking about fixing something for lunch.

Damn! My access to my Commonwealth Bank of Australia account has been limited. Former DR Tomovoz had better have had nothing to do with this. :) (It was Colin's birthday yesterday, BTW).
And happy birthday, Jeanne!
-
I'm up - this morning there was blessed silence and therefore I slept until nine-thirty, which was wonderful, although now there is no way to do the long jog - I may do it depending on what time I return from the meeting. Of course, I did go to sleep very late because I started a movie and I ended up not wanting to turn it off - Taken, with Liam Neeson.

I do believe our DR Nursie has been hither and yon for the last few days!
Well, spoo! How did I confuse DR Nursie and DR Jeanne?
I'm a moron!
-
I'll write about Taken in the notes, but while I didn't love the hyped up direction in the latter part of the film, I did think it moved right along (the film is only eighty-four minutes sans titles) and was a decent bottom of the bill programmer (if they had bottom of the bills anymore) and I'm a sucker for this type of story, even though the plotting is very cliched - and I enjoy Mr. Neeson, who is very good in the film. The biggest problem, for me, was a simple one - there's no strong villain - the person you think is the villain is, of course, A villain, but there is really no THE villain - there are multiple villains and that doesn't make for as satisfying a drama.
-
Oh, dear, I'm really going to have to go to this work session in about fifteen minutes.

I've been a virtual slug-a-bed today. Malaise, thy name is RLP.

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!
I'm up, I'm up... And since I ended up listening to a Beethoven symphony and the Franck Violin Sonata last night, I didn't ended up falling asleep until around 4:30am...
...And then I found myself listening to some more music this morning for an hour or two before my feet hit the floor.
-
It turns out a friend of mine, Mike, from Richmond is coming up and into the City today. So, we'll be meeting up later on for some dinner and a good catch-up session.
-
DR vixmom - Rest! ;)
And have a wonderful weekend with your family. :)

Sunday afternoon greetings! We attended church in Cincinnati today, much to the surprise of the rector there (he asked Richard if he'd gotten fired already!). After a quick Panera lunch, we're home watching the last 100 laps of the Indianapolis 500.

Happiest of birthdays to DR Jeanne!

I've been a virtual slug-a-bed today. Malaise, thy name is RLP.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of weekend doldrum-ing.
-
We had another small shower right around lunctime, but it didn't cool things off much. It's kind of muggy now and not likely to get any better as the evening commences.
-
I watched this week's edition of THE FASHION SHOW while I ate lunch. The team element of these competitions really stifles quite a few of these designers. I always hated team competitions on PROJECT RUNWAY, and this show revolves around them even though the designers still have to come up with individual garments.
With the teams, that seems to increase the bitch quotient. Of course, some people obviously WANT more of that kind of thing, but that kind of confrontation takes away from the show for me. I'm much more interested in the designs, the execution, and the final result. All that bitchy blather in between gets old VERY fast.
-
I also had time to watch the rest of SAVE ME that I had started last night. Always enjoy watching this story though I don't think Gant and Allen have great chemistry as a couple. (Now Allen and Sebastian Spence have GREAT chemistry in the Donald Strachey mysteries.)
-
We had another small shower right around lunctime, but it didn't cool things off much. It's kind of muggy now and not likely to get any better as the evening commences.
The muggy's have started to settle in here in NYC too. -Which doesn't make me feel so bad for staying so far today - except for when I ran up to the market a couple of minutes ago to grab a bite to eat - and that's when I noticed the mugginess.
-
Then I watched my first work project of the day - SETH MACFARLANE'S CAVALCADE OF CARTOON COMEDY. Raunchy, decidedly un-PC, and inventive, there are 50 blackout sketches (some only seconds long), and about 10 of them made me laugh uproariously. There were only a few that were complete duds, and the rest were midly pleasant or I recognized the wit behind them without actually breaking into a smile.
-
I watched the very few bonus features: the premiere of the program with a select audience of cast, crew, and friends, and three phases of the character models in step-through stills galleries.
-

When I finished that, I put in my next work project called ACTION PACKED, four initial episode dramas from the huge Paramount TV library. I started with the most recent, the first network episode of NCIS with Sasha Alexander joining the team from her original post as a secret service agent on Air Force One. Interesting mystery with Gibbs, Tony, and Abby nowhere near the characterizations they now have on the series. McGee hadn't yet joined, and Ziva doesn't come aboard until Season 3. Only David McCallum's Ducky seems fully formed in this first episode.
-
Next I began watching WALKER, TEXAS RANGER. Sadly, this was the TV movie that went to series, so it's 95 minutes long, and I got about 20 minutes watched this afternoon. The typical mix of crime and criminals for Walker to beat up with his fists and feet so far, and marked by the same really poor acting from a second-rate company of actors that never seemed to get any better (at least in the season sets I've reviewed of this show; I never watched it during its life on CBS).
-
Page Four Dance!!!
-
When I go back down I'll have the pilots for MACGYVER and MISSION IMPOSSIBLE to watch, and I'm not sure I've ever seen either one of those episodes.
-
Time for me to get ready to head out...
Laters...
-
I'm going to hop off-line now and do some writing. Then, I'll head downstairs to clean the bathroom, put away the already folded laundry, and then head back into the viewing room for more dramatic entertainment.

Mr Ron Raines just showed up out of the blue with an Italian sausage sandwich smothered in onions and peppers and chicken wings from the street fair on Broadway. It was nice to see him, get a free dinner, and catch up on gossip. I taught him how to burn a CD from an iTunes playlist and he vanished.
I meant to ask him about the Y&R gay brouhaha but forgot. I was curious to see what gossip is flying about the studio.
-
Yes, thank you all (But I'm NOT getting married today!) for the birthday greetings in my honor!
I have been away from work for most of May (Vacation time) Could not afford to go anywhere! (Story of my life) ...
In lieu of cake, my birthday present to myself was a ticket to a show: a wonderful female stand up comedian I admire a lot. She used to be in the financial world all over the planet. She speaks 6 languages and now enjoys working in theaters. She sometimes acts in "théatre de boulevard"plays.

Cannes Film Festival Awards; the palmarès!

Back from the work session and as I feared it went on longer and there was nothing to be done, as when the author starts to talk there is no stopping him. We actually got through about half the numbers very quickly - then the conversation began and I knew I'd be there three hours, which I was. But I'm home now, no plans tomorrow at all, and that's a good thing. Listening to CDs now, then we'll figure out a motion picture to watch - I'll probably finish up Fritz Lang's Man Hunt, then move on to something else on standard DVD. Tonight I'll figure out a Blu-Ray to view.
-
bk, that author sounds like a first-class jerk. If it's not a fun process for you, it seems like it would not be a project worthy of your time.

DR François... how poetic and sensitive you are!
And how I wish I understood French! :)

Not intentionally, DR FJL. I mean, I never saw the show. I own the recording, but don't think I've ever taken the time to listen to it. :-\

I think i just lost a post in which I thanked Laura.
So thanks, Laura!

I hadn't seen Shock The Monkey since we all thought watching MTV for hours each day was the way to be cool.
-
What to do tomarrow. There is a huge barbecue in the neighborhood (they had been selling tickets for more than a month) but a thousand people all in the same place might just be too much.

I really need to finish the projects I started today.

talk to you later.

I have never seen MTV. I guess it goes without saying that I was never cool.

Vixmom, I am SO PLEASED to hear your good news! Here's to continued good health!

Someone asked recently about special features on DVDs. I am in the camp that feels disappointed if there are none. However, I don't bother with the commentary.
-
How many people have to work tomorrow?
I do
-
Not me.
But then, Mondays are always my day off.
-
You guys sure made it easy to skip entire pages.
-
I will be working tomorrow but from home as usual.
-
I had a full evening of TV show on DVD watching.
I finished WALKER TEXAS RANGER. The pilot TV-movie was no better (no different) from the show as a weekly series. Same bad acting, same basic plots. A very tiresome show to watch.
-
Next came the 1985 pilot for MACGYVER. I never watched the show during its many years on the air, but it was a lot of fun. Very novel premise and Richard Dean Anderson was very ingratiating as the lead. The show and the star remind me a little of THE MENTALIST in terms of light tone and charismatic leading actor.
-
And the set concluded with the pilot for MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. Steven Hill was definitely not on the same page with the other actors in the spirit of the caper show, so I can see why he only lasted this first season. Barbara Bain is impossibly beautiful, and Peter Lupus is SO young! Much to my surprise, Martin Landau is not part of the opening credits. He's billed as a "guest star," and yet he's the one who ended up with an Emmy nomination for Leading Actor, not Steven Hill. (Barbara Bain won, of course, for leading actress.)
-
I wanted to continue my NCIS fix so I watched another episode from the third season box set. In this one, the team learns that someone is selling body parts. Very grisly but good show.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR JEANNE!!

I'm still at the lake. Phoebe the cat has decided she likes me a lot and wants to ride around on my shoulder all day. She has now decided she will sleep on the bed with me. She's a sweet cat

I'm really tired. I'm going to try to get some sleep now. Night

I'm glad you are having a nice weekend, Cillaliz. Enjoy it!

I guess I'll head down now to bed.
Good night!

Speaking of tug boats, Betsy and I have been spending the last SEVERAL hours watching Benjamin Button, and we're still only about 1/8 way thru. ;) Unlike Benjamin, I'm not getting any younger. :)

I would love to track down the Muzak version I heard of "Shock the Monkey" I heard many years ago. I was in an elevator with my cousin, Richard, and we both recognized the tune immediately... And then proceeded to laugh and laugh for a good 15 minutes. Then we laughed some more. :)

Today, I went to my sister's house to help her pack thing up and take things down in preparation of her move to a new house. She wants to have it all done so that the movers can come next Sunday (Saturday was not available for the company that she chose). I'll go back tomorrow, but I'll finally have rehearsals on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday will be the volunteer appreciation dinner at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts and Friday, I hope to see a local show. I'm too busy!
-
Last night, I went to Seattle to see a production of Guys & Dolls, starring our very own TCB as Arvide Abernathy. The show was very well done and TCB was delightful and touching as Arvide. The actors who played Sky and Sarah were played by a real-life husband and wife. Everyone sang quite well and the five-piece band sounded real nice. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. :)
I wish I could have seen it! Someday I would like to see DR TCB perform!
I've seen TCB in performance four times...in Scrooge, My Fair Lady, Glorious and now Guys and Dolls. ;D

I had a great time catching up with my friend, Mike, earlier tonight. I met him over at his hotel on the Upper East Side - in Yorkville - and we ended up at Pio Pio (http://piopionyc.com/)* for dinner. Peruvian rotisserie chicken, tostones and avocado salad. Muy yum! ;)

It looks like I'm going to meet back up with him in the morning, and check out Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward (http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/exhibitions/on-view-now/frank-lloyd-wright) at The Guggenheim. -I'm also just looking forward to going to The Guggenheim for the first time in years(!).
*FYI - Pio Pio's website is "wide" and "loud". Adjust your volume and speakers accordingly.

DR TCB - I hope you had a wonderful closing performance, a riotous closing night party, and a most memorable and cherished run of Guys & Dolls.

After dinner, I took the crosstown bus back over to the Upper West Side, and then proceeded to do a bit of wandering.
Along the way, I saw this:

And since I do need and want to get up early - well, at least earlier - tomorrow...
Goodnight.
