I just learned that David Evans had a concert of his music at the Lincoln Center NYPL tonight and I missed it. The original cast of BIRDS OF PARADISE was all there, as well as Klea Blackhurst and others. Damn!

I'm very happy for you DR SLAW.

Au contraire! Penelope Cruz was elegant, classy and faboo.

Which made her out of place at the Oscarcast, but these things happen from time to time.

Well, I guess I won't bother trying to catch up with yesterday's post or today's. Apparently unless you believe that the musical numbers were an afront to God, that the whole Oscar broadcast sucked, that Sarah Jessica is a bitch and Penelope Cruz a pig.............. then you don't have a right to an opinion.

I hope I never said that or gave that impression. I think everyone has an absolute right to their opinion. I always try to make it clear that what I say is my opinion and only my opinion and anyone and everyone is free to disagree. I do feel at times though that the overriding opinion is one thing and if you feel otherwise you don't know what you're talking about which is why I don't often make value judgements about movies or television shows. I do post my opinion on theatre (I feel quite qualified in that regard). When I do make statements about programs, sometimes I may exceed the bounds of taste and engage in hyperbole but, as I said, I try to make it clear that it is my view and only my view and anyone is free to disagree, in as voiciferious a manner as I.

Klea is another SLC "survivor." We've traded some fun emails.

I have her live CD, "Everything the Traffic Will Allow" and she's hysterical!

Opinions are like a certain anatomical feature; Everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.

DR DtM - I hope your car "situation" turns out equally as well!!!

Ouch, my arm is hurting. I accidently burned it more than 2 hours ago. And it still hurts. That seems pretty unusual for me. I've been icing it. And that helps. I tried some burn cream. But that didn't help. Any other tips?

My first song to be professionally performed when I was a mere teenager was indeed titled "Apemen and Apricots." Draw your own conclusions.

Classic Kid Moment on the way to Hebrew lesson today:

I took the new car and had XM tuned to the Smooth Jazz station (so sue me). Gabe, half-jokingly, turned to me and said, "You used to be cool, Dad. You used to be cool." Zach, in the back seat, immediately chimed in, totally seriously, "No, he didn't!" I was giggling for the rest of the drive.

I was watching some of the Best and Worsts on the entertainment shows.

I guess don't read below if you watch these shows on the West Coast.

Both shows had amy adams and jessica biel as the worst.

Cojo had #1 penelope cruz. And 2-4 sarah jessica parker, anne hathaway, angelina jolie, and marisa tomei.

And Access Hollywood had kate winslet as the best.

I don't think that I've heard this song before, but I like it.

Dissenting opinions are of course welcome on all subjects at HHW.

Good news from DR DAW about his insurance experience.

I am using the IMAC. I figured out iTUNES and burned a CD. Now if I can just figure out iDVD, I think I will be fine. Unfortunately there is not a good bit torrent download program for APPLE, and since I use a lot of downloads, I am not sure that this is going to work out for me.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #206 on:** February 23, 2009, 07:01:00 PM »

And I still miss the scroll wheel on my mouse. this is a nice two button affair that can be clicked on the top or on the side.....but NO SCROLL.

I bought a small computer table/desk with a keyboard tray to set the IMAC on while I try it out. Of course I had to put it together and while doing so I shattered one of the commandments, and it had nothing to do with me neighbor's ass.

Last week i watched the 1930's version of SHE on DVD. i liked it very much. I had not known that the dance finale was nominated for an Academy Award.....the only year such a category was among the regular balloting. But it was fantastic......and the Max Steiner score is quite remarkable.

So - now I am going to watch THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEY-EYE.

Who was eliminated on TAR? DR MBARNUM I did not get your package in the mail today.....perhaps Wednesday!
