I'm quite mellow yellow right now. I've watched two motion pictures and will finish a third by the end of the evening. I've had a few telephonic conversations, but basically I've done exactly what I wished to, and shall do the same tomorrow.

Well, no one can say we didn't get to page six.

As for the "title that shall not be mentioned, but was", it reminds me of "You Gotta Take Pains" that Donna, The Dominatrix, sings in Eating Raoul. -Just the title, since I haven't heard the song from Nudie.

I don't think Apple should get away with charging for an Operating System upgrade.

Well, if you upgrade to an iPhone 3G - which is now only $99 - or the iPhone 3GS - which comes out Friday - then the update would be free.

I saw that awful show! My friend Richard Norton was one of the producers. Talk about turning a funny movie into a poor musical. I don't even remember Donna. I do remember that Eddie Korbich was in it and we went out afterwards. He spent the whole time cruising the friend I brought along. Oy! I don't remember the friend now, either.

Back from the fancy French restaurant. It turns out it was a live demonstration, but the participants [the "audience"] did not actually get to cook. Which was fine.

And the meal afterwards was quite lovely!

And just what composed said meal, DR DAW?

And don't forget Lovette George, Jonathan Brody and Adrian Zmed, of course!

Larry - If you all went out afterwards and were having normal conversation, was that "cruising" or was that just a simple and socially fine attempt to flirt and determine possibly mutual interest?

...And I'm still trying to figure out if it's a good thing or bad thing that the counter-staff at City Bakery "remember" me now.

I'm sure they remember your sparkling personality

Cilla, have you gotten to read or hear any of the First Wives Club material through Rupert Holmes?

No, he's not big on sharing something he's working on. He has said a few things from time to time, but nothing very specific. He's also working on three other shows right now, so he doesn't write very often.

During CHESS, we (okay, I) was imagining a sing-along with the dogs
"how i wanna pee and where I wanna pee and when I wanna pee and why i wanna pee"

Can i say "Pee" on a family site?

He was working the room. I was hardly a part of the conversation.

Well, the cool and sunny day turned into an overcast and much cooler afternoon and evening. Let's just say that I'm glad I left the apartment earlier this afternoon with a hooded sweatshirt.

Again, not complainin', just sayin'.

It's cooler here now, but earlier in the evening, it felt very close inside the house. I was sitting in front of a fan or I would have had to turn on the AC, I believe.

I watched the two documentary shorts on the LAST YEAR second disc. Both interesting and show the director's fondness for vivid imagery and a moving camera.

Matt H. · « **Reply #165 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:10:04 PM »

Next, I watched a Blu-ray without having a review pad in my lap: RAGING BULL which I recently got for a very cheap price. Brilliant film, and the Blu-ray looks excellent, particularly the fight sequences.

Matt H. · « **Reply #166 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:14:50 PM »

I watched a couple of the documentaries on the Blu-ray. They were simply ported over from the DVD release, but I'd never watched them before so I did tonight. Very interesting how the fights were filmed and the rationale for the way they were filmed.

Matt H. · « **Reply #167 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:16:14 PM »

Next, I watched Monday night's NURSE JACKIE. An excellent episode. This show is really growing on me. The characters are all interesting with quirky personalities that make them worth following.

Matt H. · « **Reply #168 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:17:54 PM »

I watched another episode of THE CLOSER from the Season 4 set. This was the one about two drug dealers being given last rites by a priest and Brenda trying to get information to arrest the guilty parties. This was the episode that ended the Priority Homicide Division and created the Major Crimes Division.

I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. The boys were on, and it's SO clear that Col. Mayer is coming back soon with all of this talk about Noah moving past his father's influence, etc.

Matt H. · « **Reply #170 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:19:48 PM »

I ended my evening watched the first segment of MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST. I didn't have time to watch the whole thing since I had my review to finish writing, but I'll likely get to it tomorrow.

Matt H. · « **Reply #171 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:20:50 PM »

Looks like my next work project will be another Blu-ray - PREDATOR 2 from Fox. I have seen the original PREDATOR, but I never saw this first sequel which I don't have high expectations for.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #172 on:** June 17, 2009, 08:27:59 PM »

Oooohhh...

I had emailed and texted my landlord to tell her that we had found new tenants earlier today. Strangely, but not surprisingly, she did not text or email me back immediately. So, I texted her again this afternoon. And she did respond.

"I'm in Alaska right now."

Oh, OK... Nevermind.

Well, here come the severe thunderstorms. Better unplug the computers....

I've finished my evening internet surf, so I'm heading downstairs to bed.

Good night!

I want to make sure what I post about Nudie Musical won't cause problems so I am letting BK have first look

As for "Chess - In Concert", I really hope the levels are "corrected" on the CD version. They seem to be vary quite widely on the PBS broadcast.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #178 on:** June 17, 2009, 10:08:05 PM »

Okay first meeting. Hopefully the cast will be as good as it can be! I guess that's MY job.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #179 on:** June 17, 2009, 10:08:57 PM »

Thunderstorms at DR CILLA's house means we shall have them in the morning.

I also like to listen to the EATING RAOUL cast CD....some of those songs are pretty funny.
