Ah.  I just finally figured it out.

 ;)

Wait till I can tell you everything over a drink! Did I mention the sexual harassment allegation as well?

Back from many errands, including taking some photographs.  I have only one more errand to run and I'm going to get it out of the way right now.

DR Nursie, that's good news!  Will she be well taken care of?

She can use her walker to get to get around and, most important of all, use the bathroom.  I called her doctor's office to work with the insurance and get her a nurse to help her bathe.  Maybe even to some physical therapy.

At her request, Keith's brother moved in with her several years ago and cooks, cleans, etc.  They seem to be very happy with the arrangement.

I had expectations (Oh my, yes! E-x-p-e-c-t-a-t-i-o-n-s!) that I'd receive my DVD box of Tyrone Power movies today.

I received a shipping notification over the weekend.  So, this morning, I "tracked" my UPS shipment to see if it was "out for delivery".

What I found, instead:

 04/30/2007  9:06 P.M.  MERCHANDISE IS MISSING. UPS WILL NOTIFY THE SENDER WITH ADDITIONAL DETAILS.;ALL MERCHANDISE MISSING, EMPTY CARTON WAS DISCARDED. UPS WILL NOTIFY THE SENDER WITH DETAILS OF THE DAMAGE  



Aughghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghgh!

That's awful! I'm so sorry. I know Amazon will replace it, but still!

My Tyrone Power boxed set came today as did Season Six of WILL & GRACE and the Tony Awards play set.

I'm sure some DRs remember the stunt David Merrick pulled - don't remember which show - where he didn't like the critic's reviews, so he went out and found ordinary folks with the same names as the critics, and used their [positive] pull-quotes for his print campaign.

That was for SUBWAYS ARE FOR SLEEPING, I believe.

I watched last night's CSI: MIAMI where to my heart's distress, one of my favorite characters on the show got fired. I don't know if this firing is permanent or if there is some kind of gamesmanship going on to trap a gambling ring in Miami.

At any rate, the case was pretty good last night, a man's death due to arson. Some great surprises and lots of suspects. I certainly did not have this one pegged at all.

If the mail had brought me WILL & GRACE/Tyrone Power earlier in the afternoon, I would have opted for one of them. Since the mail was late, I pulled out the newly remastered ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE.

The new print looks fine (a couple of scenes seem undersaturated) and is totally clean and artifact free. The new DTS soundtrack is grand making this seem like a new film. The old mono soundtrack just didn't match the grandeur of the Panavision and location stunts on the Alps and elsewhere.

I'll probably start the WILL & GRACE DVDs when I go back down. Since I've already cleaned the living room, I'll have a nice long time to get several watched before IDOL starts.

I meant to mention this yesterday and it kept slipping my mind.

Yesterday on TCM, ANATOMY OF A MURDER was shown. It was presented properly in the  1.85:1 aspect ratio looking very different from the full screen version released by Columbia/Sony some years back.

I think it's time for them to reissue this in a correctly anamorphic edition. The TCM print, even without anamorphic enhancement, looked fabulous.

I just read in VARIETY that Emmy-winning character actor Tom Poston has died. Another grand performer who will be greatly missed.

Here's some publicity about our favorite lady detective, Ms. Brenda Leigh Johnson and her hit series THE CLOSER:

"TNT is putting Brenda Johnson back on the case in June.

The cable network, along with sister station TBS, has announced premiere dates for its crime drama "The Closer" and several other series, stretching from early June into August.

"The Closer," which stars Golden Globe winner Kyra Sedgwick as Brenda Johnson and is among the highest-rated series on cable, begins its third season at 9 p.m. ET Monday, June 18. It will be followed by a new drama, "Heartland," at 10 p.m. That series stars Treat Williams ("Everwood") as an organ-transplant surgeon and Kari Matchett ("24," "Invasion") as his ex-wife, a transplant coordinator.

A month later, TNT will roll out "Saving Grace," which stars Holly Hunter as an Oklahoma City detective who, after hitting bottom, encounters an angel (Leon Rippy, "Deadwood") who wants to help her put her life back together. The series will air at 10 p.m. Wednesdays starting July 18.

The network caps its summer with "The Company," a six-hour miniseries about the CIA during the Cold War. It stars Michael Keaton, Chris O'Donnell and Alfred Molina and will air in two-hour installments over three consecutive Sundays starting Aug. 5."

My favorite Tarzan

     :'(


Gordon "Tarzan" Scott passed away this 4/30/07 (10:50 in Baltimore at Johns Hopkins Hospital). Gordon had been hospitalized for several months recovering from heart valve surgery, among other things. Unfortunately, following surgery he had infections and was kept in ICU from time to time. Just recently the infections reoccurred and he (physically) fought to remove his IV whenever he could. In short, Gordon chose not to prolong his life. Ironically he died 1 day short of the anniversary of his close friend's passing, Steve Reeves. He was 80, father of 5, and penniless.

I'm sorry, DR MBarnum. I know how much you admired him. And so sad that the money he made from show biz wasn't enough to sustain him through the rest of his life. I always did enjoy his performances.

DR Danise!  I love you for that!

Ive actually been laughing with my colleagues today about the idiot.  I do worry that he's gone so far over the deep end he'll never get back.  I may even volunteer to be the star witness when he sues his shrink for malpractice. Did I already say that?

I can't give his name because it will end up at some point on the internet, but I will say it's an arrogant conductor who's been coasting for years on a non-deserved reputation as Mr Period Musical Theatre. In the meantime, he's managed to blame numerous others for his failures as a scholar, conductor, font of wisdom, and grand pooh-bah, al of which which have led to his unemployment and loss of recording contract because he's impossible to work with.  

He sounds like a real poop!
