Ann and TCB are already recruited for the job hunt in a couple months. George, you can keep your ears open for me, too! I have library experience, ya know.
"You like men with strong, manly noses ... Only 1 in 10 men (9%) are uniquely drawn to this type of man over a more traditional mainstream type."Strong, manly noses? What's that supposed to mean, you have a Jimmy Durante thing going on?

Did anyone else watch last night's Without A Trace? What a well-acted and well-written series it is. But yesterday's story was so very sad.
Tomovoz I’m happy Magnus is happy again. And yes, some dogs do smile. Our last dog tended to have that sad dog look so I made sure to get a dog that smiles when we choose Echo.
I was at my sister's house taking a tour of her newly built house! A couple of days ago, my sister got notice that she can start moving in!! As soon as she's done the bulk of her moving, I can start moving into her old house (I'm going to rent it from her). That will be a major chore...actually the cleaning of my apartment will be the major chore. I'm not very neat at all. It's a curse.
DR TCB please read my above post to DR NOEL.
Anyone catch Larry King Live last night? Best exercise in denial I've ever witnessed. Guest was Phyllis Gates, Rock Hudson's wife of three years. No, she never suspected. Never had an inkling - even though lots and lots of men called the house and often he'd start a fight for no reason and storm out of the house and not come home all night - she never ever thought...
LOL-I grew up in L.A. and thought everyone knew.
Panni is The Hungarian Goulash, or should that be The Hungarian Ghoulash? She's an olio of cultures and languages.
DR Noel,
Excellent and funny lyrics. Are they from your latest, "My Nose, The Musical"?
(I'm responding to this right after reading it, so if any of my suggestions have already been suggested, I apologize in advance).
I think you should consider a couple of things: If it's worth a couple of hundred dollars to you NOT to clean your apartment, there are services "out there" that will come in and do it for you. My last move was 9 years ago, and I still remember trying to set up the new apartment and having to clean the old. With Bay Area security deposits and first/last month rent deposits and having to buy boxes to pack, and having to pay a man and two helpers to move me to my new place, plus put excess stuff into storage, I wasn't about to pay anyone to clean the old place for me. And I STILL regret it.
Also, there is such a thing as "normal wear and tear" -- this means that it is not necessary for you to repaint, clean the carpet, fill-in nail holes where pictures were hanging.
Conversely, I feel it's a tenant responsibility to clean the refrigerator and oven, but not the cabinets, which the landlord might have repainted.
My mom ALWAYS cleaned a house so that it was in a condition she would accept were she moving into it....but then, she was the landlord turning over the house.
You should be able to get your security deposit without having to restore the apartment to its original condition.
Now, wait just a darn minute! I have yet to see a posting for the wesbite that is selling the CD of Noel's "The Honeymoon -- The Second Nudie Musical."
Excellent and funny lyrics. Are they from your latest, "My Nose, The Musical"?
I can already imagine the critics' quotes in the Times ad: "My Nose will run for years!"
There will be at least one critic who rants:
My Nose BLOWS!
BK - Reidel keeps talking about the 20 rich producers of CAROLINE and how they are going to lose so much money anyway that they should give more of it to Tonya. Do you know who they are and why anyone would back a show knowing they will lose a bundle (other than Max Bialystock).
CD Player (at work): Norah Jones new CD. Very pretty music but waaaay too low-key to listen to at my desk while I'm supposed to be writing status reports. I'll take this home to play while I'm sorting out my sock drawer this weekend.
I would imagine that Caroline has a certain liberal cache attached to it that many wealthy movers-and-shakers would find advantageous to be associated with, particularly in this current political climate. The show should run long enough to play to some Democratic fund raising events, which could give these producers opportunities to wine, dine, schmooze and impress the politicians and power brokers who will be involved with the coming Democratic Administration. Whether the show runs or closes, they probably consider it money well-spent. (I'm opining this from a very cynical state of mind.)But it's the REPUBLICAN convention that's being held in NYC!
Dan (the Man) -- Aren't you a little old to still be having such wild weekends???
It's too bad the Tonys don't have a "Best Song" catagory. It would obviously go to the Tony Newley homage, "What Kind of Schnozz Am I?"
Phyllis Gates was the secretary for Rock Hudson's agent Henry Wilson, one of the most notorious homosexual agents in the business. I guess she had her head buried in the sand around him, too.
Well, she didn't have her head buried anywhere else!
Video - Eddie Izzard - Glorious. Fabulous stand up comedy, if you're into british humor
Silly Ann... If it's British, then it's humour! :D
Ha! That's nothing! I'm still recovering from last weekend when I straightened out my underwear drawer.
And you know this because . . . .
I don't know really what's going on with Larry King and his fascination with the late Rock Hudson because a few months ago, he had several other people on the show in a panel (Tony Randall was one of them) who swore up and down that Rock Hudson really liked the ladies and that men were not his primary sexual interest.

DR Danise congrats on the ring!Oh my gosh that’s so lovely. I think people forget what the wedding ring stands for. I must say I’ve thought the wedding vows of today should read, ….for better or worse, for richer or poorer OR UNTIL SOMETHING BETTER COMES ALONG…… So many of my friends who married are getting divorced now.
This is for you, as well as boomeranging back to a previous post of mine:
She Wears My Ring
(Words & music by Boudleaux & Felice Bryant)
She wears my ring to show the world that she belongs to me
She wears my ring to show the world she's mine eternally
With loving care I placed it on her finger
To show my love for all the world to see
This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion
An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring

TVB - I haven't stopped laughing.TCB has another interest of which I was unaware. Not that I should know everything of course.
Well, she didn't have her head buried anywhere else!Well now, TCB, let us not assume. According to Phyllis, everything was just wonderful in that department for a time.
Well folks, today was my day. I had a wonderful day.
Phyllis Gates was the secretary for Rock Hudson's agent Henry Wilson, one of the most notorious homosexual agents in the business....Wait a second! Some of us have AGENTS? You mean, I could have had someone else doing all my cruising for me, just for letting him have ten percent? I could have saved myself all that trouble?
Because I adore you all, I actually shipped out all the US orders just a few moments ago. My back is now completely out of whack but the books are on their way. The overseas orders are packaged and will go out first thing in the morning.If Dan (the Man) can straighten out his underwear drawer, I'm sure he can straighten out your back. A good solid scolding will usually do it, something along the lines of "straighten up or ship out."
Next we'll be hearing about thong underwear and belly button pierces.
The Christmas Album is seventies? Early seventies, I hope.
(With a frown): Girls, behave yourselves!
I want pajamas.
Our new Dan-the-Man just ordered all three Kritzer books. Thanks mucho. They'll go out tomorrow.
And how is it, exactly, that your underwear drawer got bent?
:)
Why, thank you, dear! Well, we're off to watch a coughbootlegcough of the "Follies" revival. Love you all!
Oh an ice -cream reference. Now that is my kind of language and party.
Are cakes made from ice-cream available in the USA. They are popular herei n Oz for kid's parties. Always wanted one. Maybe next year for my 60th birthday.
She would have been 86 on March 26. She wasn't very educated. She never learned to drive. She never traveled. She was raised to be a wife and mother and never wanted more. She probably made lots of mistakes raising her kids--as who hasn't? She accepted me as a part of her family for 23 years. She was stuborn, cantankerous, tactless, outspoken and full of love. I will miss her.
Wussburger, indeed! We could teach that girl a thing or two about late-night fun, Maya! Wait... that sounded bad... well, not that bad... ;)
::Offers Panni a pair of adorable Curious George PJs::
Come play wiz us, Panni!
I'm so tired! Maya's a ball of energy and joy, and all I want to do is sleep!
Tomorrow's my wild and crazy outing with der Brucer and SWW. I assure you that this weekend will involve lots of photos of my hot nerd glasses (They make me fall asleep...I'm used to having little pieces of plastic forcing my eyes open. Gotta love contacts!).
I just (sort of) watched WONDERFALLS. It's very weird and very good.

She's a high school principal who just spent the last week in court, accused of being a racist because she suspended a student who stabbed another student.
Dang, I'd meant to watch that tonight, but just forgot. Glad to hear it's worthwhile... will try to catch it next week.
I don't have pajamas, so I have to opt out of the pj party.
