Haines His Way

Speaking or reality shows...last nights BIG BROTHER....














I was ever so pleased with how last night's eviction went!

Again, I speak as someone who would  love to see Hillary Clinton as President.  But I think the question of Senator Clinton's judgment (in going very public and even somehow coining the expression "vast right wing conspiracy" for the Lewinsky allegations) seems like everybody's business who has to decide whether to vote for her.  

Is it a tasteful question to ask of a now-28-year-old daughter who is putting herself out there for the purpose of promoting her mother's campaign and one would assume her mother's qualifications as a potential President?  That I don't know, but I think the subject certainly is the "business" of the voter in evaluating Senator Clinton's judgment.  

I wouldn't like many of my judgment calls to be scrutinized, but then, i would never run for public office.  And I think I would never put myself out there and under scrutiny the way Chelsea Clinton has, either.

I wasn't considering Hillary's remarks about the "investigation".

That said, I agreed with her then and am more than certain now, in retrospect, that mountains were made of grains of sand at the outset and that is why the entire process was blown way out of proportion.  That does not negate the President's lying under oath about not having had sex, but then that never harmed his popularity or approval rating.

Hey DRs MBarnum and RonP, did you like who won HOH last night? (and who got evicted)

... on BIG BROTHER.

Good morning, all! I have a few rounds of laundry this morning and a lot of THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER to write about.

I took the American Accent quiz: Inland North, whatever that means.

About a year ago this time, I began working on a restoration of Harold Arlen's LIFE BEGINS AT 8:40 for the Library of Congress Music Division. We visited the Shubert Archive to look at - and photocopy some - original materials, the Gershwin Trust librarian worked his fanny off copying everything they had and shipping it, we had to do budgets by the beginning of June, and I wrote out vocal sheets, and assembled scores. Contracts were supposed to be in place at the end of the summer. Through brouhahas and what I would guess are major beaurucratic snafus, we still have no authorization to continue the work, I cannot bill for what I've done, and the Library owes me and a few colleagues money for laast year's work. I'm both irritated and angered by this nonsense.  Yesterday, I sent an email about all this to several colleagues - including those who also deserve payment for work performed - as well as friends at the LoC and the Gershwin Trust. There's been no response from anyone.  I guess there will be no LIFE BEGINS . . . orchestra reading of the restoration in May.

DR booface, concerning your gluten intolerance, you may want to consider THESE products...

I am still a bit distressed by the passing of Richard Widmark.  He did some good movies.....and some favorites of mine in addition to the obvious ones would be:

I was okay with who went home. I was even okay with any of the bottom 3 going home (i don't think any of them will win, and i don't particularly like any of them, although i do find jason appealing at time).

As DR RonP said the winners have occasionally been in the bottom (i think ruben was as well once). When you think about it normally  the winner wouldn't be in the B3 so early on. But every time someone gets voted out their fans usually vote for someone else. And in the case of carly last week, i don't think it's necessarily that she was unpopular, more that people thought she was safe (and maybe a bit that she talked back to simon).

I think the most popular right now are the 2 davids.

On tv for me tonight:

CELEBRITY APPRENTICE finale and ELI STONE.

Hillary Clinton.  

I'm pretty sure DR JoseSPiano had a cameo in that one...

Or maybe a pendant.  

I'm pretty sure DR JoseSPiano had a cameo in that one...

Wrong!





But I was in the sequel.

My DH kindly taped that article to the bathroom mirror for me to find this morning as a little matutinal surprise.

He's so thoughtful that way.    

"Pot... This is Kettle."

Our newest favorite junk food snack are the Lundberg Rice Chips.  The first three ingredients are brown rice, brown rice flour, & white rice flour.  NO WHEAT.  Our favorite flavors are B-B-Q & Sesame Seaweed.  I can't believe how much I like anything with Seaweed.

I can't swear it is gluten free.

Wrong!





But I was in the sequel.

Me too....it was called Let Down on Fairlane Drive
