Dan-the-Man: THE BOOK OF LIZ is published by either Dramatist Publishing or Samuel French...I can't remember. It's available at Amazon.com. The reader reviews were mixed...they said it's more Amy and less David, but I love them both, so who cares, right??

Thank you, kind sir!  I've added it to my shopping cart.

Tonight I attempted to watch Young Dr. Killdare on TCM but I couldn't get into it.  I'm in a quirky ADD-type mood and the movie just seemed too much of a parody of itself.  Switched over to Everybody Loves Raymond instead.  

There's another one of those American Film Institute Top 100 specials on next week.  This year's is the top 100 movie songs.  Shall we all list our picks for the top 10?

The story he tells in ME TALK PRETTY ONE DAY about the towels and the mystery wiper just makes me howl with laughter.

Thank you.  It was driving me crazy trying to remember who he is.  I loved the book.

I won't lie--I hate dressing up. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. I'd rather die than to have to wear kakhi pants and button-down shirts? Forget it! I haven't worn a tie in four years and I can't remember the last time I wore real "slacks." Unfortunately, I'm going to have to go shopping for those things sometime this week because I have to look good for the concert I'm singing in Chicago with DR MusicGuy. That means new shoes, new pants, new shirt and a possibly a tie...I'm not sure about the tie yet. And a haircut.
Don't forget fresh underpants.  If you were run over by a car or a bus, it would be terrible if they took you to the hospital and found you were wearing nasty underpants.

That's what my mother always believed, at least.

This is the ever-loverly Ms. Amy Sedaris. It's easy to see why Dan (the Man) is pretend dating her.

Okay, I've only played Book Worm a few times, but this is the biggest word (in number of letters and score) that I've ever gotten.  I hope the picture isn't too big:

Panni, a big LOL but I hate to break it to you, but I have recently met a number of young Coco’s.

I hate to leave all the fun-goodnight.

Darn.  I wanted to post my own photo tribute to Amy, but the first picture was too Cinerama-provoking.  I resampled it to make it smaller and it still posted large.  Ah, well... (A Little Night Music reference.)

Good evening!

Well, before my laptop freezes up again...

Watching Food TV's new series tonight, "The Secret Life of...".  Tonight's episode was "...Chocolate".  It's sort of like "Follow That Food", but Jim O'Connor is a far less annoying host than Gordon Elliott - and he's a lot better looking too. ;)  And they had him in a bathrobe too!

-Did you know that chocolate syrup, Bosco, in fact, was used for the blood in the movie PSCYHO?  And that it was used as recently in the movie RAGING BULL? Interesting tidbit, huh?

In other news...

Not much to report today.  No more real cleaning for me today.  I ended up taking a two-hour nap before dinner, but I woke up feeling much better.  And my grouchiness had passed too.  I then headed out for a walk down to the grocery store for some supplies - well, mainly "treats" - and some dinner - a nice slice of pizza.

And now I'm here a-typing...

Laters...

I had read that a couple of weeks ago about Alexis Arquette, and I was kind of bummed about it. He did an independent feature called I THINK I DO playing a gay man, and he was thoroughly charming in the film. No cross dressing to the perforamance at all, and he had the ever-luscious Tuc Watkins as his lover. What more could a man want?

I must wussburger tonight, as I have to be up at six-thirty tomorrow to get to work on time.

Think of it as getting up at three-thirty in the morning, West Coast time.  See what I mean?

Evidently, less.

DR George got me in the mood for some Bookworm.  It let me enter "WHEATEN" but not "SH*THEAD".  Go figure...

Before I forget: DR Panni: I just ran across a reference to Reiki (sp?) massage.  Your ex wanted to do this to...your dog?

Somehow, I think I'd automatically say "NO" to anyone who wanted to massage my doggie.  I don't care WHAT the motivation is, I'd Just Say No!

That's what my mother always believed, at least.  
And she was right. Last summer in Boulder I was taking the Wonderdog to an event at the Humane Society. I was running late, so I just threw on a T-shirt with nothing underneath it and a pair of old torn (but clean) cotton panties under my jeans. At the event the Wonderdog accidentally pulled me so hard that I fell and hit the pavement hard. I got up fine, but five minutes later suddenly passed out. (The only time in my life.) The point of this story is that I found myself in an ambulance with no top underwear and ridiculous torn (but clean) panties. The young paramedic was amused at my embarrassment. He said he'd seen LOT worse.
The moral of this tale is - Always listen to Mama. (It's my mother's birthday today. She would have been 87.)

Back from the gym. Totals for the evening: Minutes on the Elliptical: 46; Miles run: 4.2; Calories burned: 610.

Dan (the Man): Great Amy tribute. I'm sure she'd be so flattered...and then again, she might think we're freaks. Send her my pretend love next time you "see" her.
