I'm checkin' out. I will be in and out over the next month but I probably won't be posting. I'll be at Actors Equity on weekdays filling gift bags for people with AIDS (till December 15th) and then to the Berkshires for a few days and then back to NY/Long Island for Christmas with Anthony (sounds like a cable television movie).

See ya!

Ben - We got your beautiful card. We may not be sending cards out until after we're back from California, but just wanted to say thanks to you and Anthony for the lovely wishes.

Ben - have a great month off! At least your voice will still be at work at the Center.

Another lunch that ran into the mid-afternoon thus limiting the amount of shows I could view.

I finished the CSI: MIAMI DVD in the player. This episode was the one where men are being taught how to pick up women, and one of them is killed. One of Dom DeLuise's sons was the murder victim.

Then, I put in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL.

With the sequel coming out on DVD next week, I wanted to refamiliarize myself with the story and characters. THough I saw the first film in the theater, and watched this DVD a time or two, I had almost no memory of it. I got about 70 minutes of it watched this afternoon, and it was almost like seeing it for the first time. I can't think of another film of the last five years that for some reason leaves no lingering memory in my brain after I've watched it several times.

In this backward land of Oz the sequel was out on DVD two weeks ago! Most odd. (And it was thoroughly enjoyable). Yo Ho Ho

Very sad news for film music fans:

Shirley Walker, composer of scores to such movies/TV series as "Memoirs of an Invisible Man" and "The Flash", "Space: Above and Beyond" et. al., died last night of a brain aneurysm. She was 61.

Shirley Walker was that rare commodity in music composition -- the American female composer. She was accessible and friendly and glad to share information with anyone interested in her "process" of composing.

I was privileged to communicate with her from time to time, getting responses from her as often as I'd get replies from her assistant.

It's always a shock when someone you know or admire passes away suddenly.

I was going to the theater to see the new one, but some friends who saw it ahead of me said to skip paying to see it in the theater and just get the DVD, so I took them at their word.

In Oz, what with you being backwards and all, shouldn't that last remark been "Ho Ho Yo"?

Looks like I picked the right time to stop watching 3 LBS. CBS has yanked the show from its schedule effective immediately and is not going to film any further episodes (8 have been filmed already and three shown on-air).

Back for but a moment, and the moment is done. I shall not, methinks, be eating after the rehearsal this evening, so I should be getting home right after ten.

Meanwhile....get all your towels and place them on the rug....and do the "watusi" all over the floor....then take up the towels and toss them in your dryer. After they dry, repeat the procedure until the carpet seems to have recovered.

Well, I'm still using the steam cleaner to suck up the water. When I leave for final dress rehearsal tonight, I'll put down the towels. Thanks for the tip.

I sent an e-mail and they said that they "put a call into Doris and [will] have her take a look at it this morning. Depending on the cause, will depend on if the HOA will cover it or not. Regardless, we will get it looked at as quickly as possible."

It's now almost 2:00 pm and there has been no contact from Doris at all.

The neighbors who lent me the steam cleaner said that Doris is not very efficient.

She's the only person who takes care of this whole 92-unit complex. I want to find my purchase papers to see what the previous owners disclosed, because I don't remember seeing anything liket this listed. AND I don't seem to have any broken pipes! ALL of my faucets (inside and outside) work fine, as do my dishwasher and washing machine. I'm hoping that this is not something that I'm going to have to pay for...I hope.

I suspect beared Cannibals in Fishnet Hose and High Heels have a limited fan base from which to draw.

Except that I'm not bearded any more. I've shaved so that my characterization of the Indian will be more believable.

Amazing how TV shows get yanked so fast these days. No chance to build an audience. Odd that in the theater these days, the opposite is true - shows don't close in a week the way they used to, but theater producers tend to hold on hoping for business to turn around.

Will they show the remaning 3 LBS on the internet?

Clearly, we need to have a new catagory of films, of which POTC:TCOTBP will be the lead -

The Teflon Film A Film that is highly successful, yet nothing sticks.

Gosh, George. I sure hope the cause of the water if found. And I sure hope that someone else is at fault so that you don't have to pay for it. It seems to me that you shouldn't have to if the water comes from someone else's condo.

Actually, it depends on the network. CBS right now is in the catbird seat with every night of the week strong, but they have a couple of problematic timeslots in their hit schedule, so they don't sit still for substandard ratings for very long in those slots. They can afford to be picky.

Fox and NBC, on the other hand, have lots of shows with lower ratings than 3 LBS. but they're not in a position of strength and thus give shows more time to hopefully build an audience.

There has been no word yet on what CBS will do with the episodes of 3 LBS. that have not aired.

Well, I'm packed for LA. I'm still writing, as I figure I shall be for the next 3-4 days. I've called my dad and checked in with him, and I have some addressed to print out before I consider the East Coast shop closed.

Back later!
