Would someone please explain to me why I went to the Botanical Garden plant sale and bought another 20 or so plants? Thank you.

A second trimester compulsion

I see my lovely daughter-in-law and handsome grandson!

Hi dad!  Are you enjoying this beautiful fall sunshine?

It is a beautiful day.  Check with Jed and see when you guys want to go for ice cream.

We probably should do it soon.  I am about due for another MRSA attack in a few weeks.

After several more emails from the guy organizing West Seattle's Frances Farmer Day, I'm feeling a lot better about it.  It turns out my research and article were the whole genesis behind the idea.  The fact that the cafe where they're meeting is called Shadowland is evidently just a weird little coincidence.  They are really wanting to set the record straight about the spurious untruths in both the book and the Lange feature, so hopefully a few more people will know the real story.

Maybe he can start a fund to get the $25,000 for her Walk of Fame star.

I thought she had a star on the Walk of Fame.

Her name is not on the list (let's face, she was no Alice Faye).

I'm watching a Bravo rerun of TOP DESIGN. I don't know which is funnier: the idiotic headgear of judge Kelly Wearstler or the stupidity of Wizzit(?)'s belief that he is an opera singer. Oy!

My son snores.  Seriously, he really really snores.  For someone who still weighs in at less than 8 pounds, it's impressive.  Yesterday while walking through the store with him in the wrap, people around us could not keep from laughing at the sound.  And I didn't blame them.  It's a thing to behold.  Think of a chainsaw slicing through jello...something along those lines.

Whatever happened to Vat 69?

I'm back from killing time.  Time deserved to be killed, frankly.  I did do the long jog this morning, but I wasn't ready to do it, and it now feels like I've destroyed every muscle in my back and legs.  I'm so sick of feeling yucky and this flu or whatever it is just sticks - you start to feel better, then you feel worse, then you feel better, then worse.

Maybe you have mono?  Who have you been kissing?

Tonight is the commitment ceremony for my best friend Ron and his partner Patrick. This month marks their 23rd year together, so it is about time they get hitched, don't you think.

I will be Ron's best man. Sadly, my goin' to meetin' suit no longer fits, or at least the slacks do no. My buddy Jim will be my escort for the evening and he will also be bringing over a few jackets for me to try on, in case the ones I have just don't work out.

VAT 69 is the liquor they always show in the old Bollywood movies. But of course only the baddies drink it.

On a completely different note, does anyone have a rough idea of how much it costs to have a piano tuner make a house call?  Our little spinet is in dire need of some attention.  I do not want my darling baby son exposed to such awful sounds at such a young age.  He might grow up thinking that an octave should actually sound like a very minor ninth. 
Any ideas?

I have just been Up on the Roof (a Goffin/King reference), fixing some facia boards.  May I say that I do not at all like being Up on the Roof.

I don't have mono - maybe I have stereo?  Believe me, if I haven't had a real appetite for a week now, I'm hardly in the mood to be kissing someone.  But, maybe I'll go over to Ventura Blvd. later and see if there's anyone worth kissing there.  I can only tell you that had I wanted to be kissing the night of that event in West Hollywood, I would have had no problemo.

THE CLOSER

But of course!    

TOD: THE CLOSER, but of course!

Speaking of...this was in the works for quite some time but it has finally been announced:

"Lost" amid the hubbub surrounding Amy Sedaris' sitcom deal with Fox may have been the juicy nugget that the Strangers with Candy alumna will be guesting on multiple episodes of TNT's The Closer. But rather than playing kin to Kyra Sedgwick, as some of you would have spec'd, Sedaris is coming on as Fritz's sister.

But make no mistake, you'll get plenty of Sedaris-Sedgwick action.

Closer creator James Duff tells me that Sedaris' Claire Howard whiles away her days as "a psychic who's wandered the occupational landscape, taking on, at various times, the job of yoga instructor, glass blower, Cirque de Soleil student...." Since federal agent Fritz is a bit embarrassed by Claire's "overt spirituality," Brenda winds up spending quality time with her soon-to-be sister-in-law — to the point that Claire brings her mad skillz to one of the PHD's MCD's cases. In doing so, Ms. Howard will form a "special bond" with one of the detectives, I am told.



Can't wait!

I glad to hear that my former pretend gf is not sitting around pining away over me and is doing something constructive with her life.

Now if only my current pretend gf Tina Fey would leave her husband and join me in a sham of a marriage, things would be great.

[Dan (the Man)]

DR JRand, I'm sorry to read about the loss of your friend.

We're STILL on page four?  Someone recently gave me the CD to Alvin and the Chipmunks, the score.  It sounds identical to every other score for this type of film written in the last ten years.  Which means the composer had to ape almost note for note the temp tracks that were used.  Having not seen the film, I can only say that this score seems so inappropriate at times - at times it sounds like it should be for a beautiful, snowy love story.  Or a war film.
