I hope you feel better soon, Jeanne.

It is a beautiful sunny day in the Arizona desert. My DH and I went hiking in a place we'd never been before. It was beautiful. Some of the wildflowers are beginning to bloom.

It is a beautiful sunny day in the Arizona desert.

That's it - rub it into Portland's face.

And bid them a fond farewell - they are going out of business.

Spoo!  You can add her to my list.

DR JMK - Just be glad that he didn't rip out the outlets too. -Have you turned off the circuit breaker for those outlets?

And count me in as another member of the "Never Had A Cavity" Club!

I have five cavities, but none since high school.

High school was a while back, George.   Get to a dentist and have those cavities attended to.

[Ron Pulliam]

I stayed home yesterday after an overnight bought of some gastro-intestinal unpleasantness.

I sure feel lighter, though.

[Ron Pulliam]

In the afternoon, I rewatched "Inside Daisy Clover"...just can't seem to get enough of it.

And then I watched "The Silver Chalice" -- really one of the most unusual films, with some actors just fine and others hamming it up bigtime (the guy who plays Kester is a must-watch for his preachy, magisterial style of acting and speech-making).   The sets are astonishing and the music is wonderful.

[Matt H.]

While I was waiting for my lunch ride to pick me up, I watched the rest of last night's IDOL competition. I don't know their names so I'll have to use other means of describing them.

The last guy (with the "Cher" look) had an amazing vocal range. I found his Mick Jagger tune too frenzied, but since it IS the semifinals and you're trying to get noticed and make a name for yourself, I completely understood the over-vocalizing. He was unquestionably THE most talented singer of the night.

The 16-year old rock girl (orange/red hair) had no vocal control, and I can see her blowing out her voice within a few weeks of constant singing on the show, but she was far and away the most talented of the girls.

The guy who did "And I Am Telling You" in his "drag" persona actually has a better voice than the judges gave him credit for having, but he really should try to sing one without the "act." I'd be curious to see if he can sustain a song without the shtick.

[Ron Pulliam]

I've never been a Virginia Mayo fan.  I just don't get the eyebrows. 

She's the "original" Spock, I guess.


Natalie Wood, as the young version of Mayo's Helena, looks rather pretty with blond hair.

I've read, with ever-increasing incredulity, the various/sundried "American Idol" comments.

I am SO GLAD I'm not watching any more!!!  LOL!

[Matt H.]

When I got in from lunch, I watched the first four episodes of SOUTH PARK. The AIDS season opener had been put into THE CULT OF CARTMAN that I reviewed a few months ago, but I rewatched it plus three new ones. I really liked the "Canada On Strike" episode (a vicious parody of the Writers' Guild strike of last year). The Britney episode was also OK.

[Matt H.]

Creators Trey and Matt contribute audio commentaries for each episodes, but they hate doing them so they only talk about five minutes per show. I went back and listened to their commentaries for each of the episodes I completed watching.

A. That was Adam Lambert - a Wicked cast member. His Jagger song last night was an attempt to break his "too-Broadway" label - and it did work!

B. Campy Norman Gentle has a normal persona, Nick Mitchell. who sang a few straight-up numbers in earlier rounds, and was quite good, vocally.

***FEEL BETTER VIBES***

to DRs Jeanne and Jane!!!!

Thanks but I'm not sick.  I need to get these glasses right again.

[DAW]

I'm not sick. 

I just meant I hope you don't continue to feel nauseous.

DR Jane, like DR Ginny, is perpetually wearing sunglasses.   In her avatar.     

[DAW]

Since I sang Ash Wednesday services last night, with a rehearsal afterward, I have tonight off from choir rehearsal.  And I'm jiggy with that.

[vixmom]

I ended up falling asleep after my can and didn't wake up until the Vixter was already home from school.

[vixmom]

Yes, Jane, I am going to the conferences.  Vixdad will pick me up and we will go together.  I have never missed one since the Vixter was in kindergarten .  I will just have to listen and not talk!
