Same here. It's one of my real, true addictions. (Chocolate is another, so when you combine the two - WATCH OUT!)

I also think DR Matthew's new avatar is a lot of fun.

I hope he remembers to take them off before he goes into the men's room.

LOL!

Me, too.

I began my afternoon of viewing by rewatching last night's episode of THE CLOSER. It was so much fun watching Brenda run rings around Homeland Security that I just had to see it again.

And thanks for the little spoiler about the coroner, DR Edi. Will we be seeing him flirt any more?

Next, I watched a new Disney made-for-video animated film ENCHANTED TALES: FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS.

It takes two of the princesses, Aurora and Jasmine, and gives them each about 25 minutes of story and song. Neither story is particularly memorable, but Lea Salonga gets to sing Jasmine's two new songs in her part of the feature. Her voice is as good and strong as ever.

Re: Larry Craig. Does anyone know if he's Mormon? I'm assuming he is, being from Idaho and all. Having grown up in SLC, I can tell you the Mormons are the most peculiarly homophobic yet rampantly gay population I've ever come into contact with (so to speak).

The most vociferous homophobes are the ones most likely to possess those traits they've been trained to hate.

Folks who accept who they are are much more comfortable with other people's differences than folks who are obsessed with hiding who they are.

There were also two simple little games that I played on the DVD, and there was a sneak peak at the next made-for-video feature featuring Belle singing a song that was better than any of the ones in the feature presentation - "You'll Never Lose This Love." Sounds like they got Angela Lansbury back to play Mrs. Potts, too.

I ended my afternoon watching BEHIND THAT CURTAIN, the first Fox film that featured Charlie Chan. Truth to tell it's not a mystery and Chan's only on screen in the last few minutes.

It's a lousy movie, the dreariest kind of melodrama with a heroine whose voice quavers with every line since her "honor" is at stake. Being such an early talky, everyone (except star Warner Baxter) speaks very slowly and distinctly for the microphone which makes a movie that should have run 70 minutes into a 90 minute film (and it seems even longer than that).

Lo and behold, there's Boris Karloff acting the part of a servant in the second half of the film. His voice, of course, records beautifully.

It's a gorgeous day here in Oakland, but it's a tad on the warm side.

Temperature is currently F 80 degrees, but it feels like F 81 degreees ( I kid you not, that is what the Yahoo weather page says for Oakland right now).

So has any DR ever had an Orange Julius? We don't have them on the East coast. I've found some recipes on the Web, but the idea of mixing orange juice and milk seems a little weird... $:-\$

There used to be a wonderful Orange Julius place on the East corner of 44th (?) Street and Broadway. I loved them.

Just heard from Mr Gilfry; they lost this morning the great apartment they thought was theirs. I feel so sorry for the man and his daughter.

Oh, before I forget. The BBC did a wonderful SWEENEY TODD dramatic production about a year ago. Did any H/Ks see that? I loved it.

The one with Ray Winstone and David Warner?
I really like that one, too. It's bloody as hell. And damned bloody good.
The production values are incredible as is the conformity to the time period. Mrs. Lovett's affliction is heart-breaking. I hve the dvd around here somewhere.

Isn't it his job to know the meaning of those "signals?" To my simple way of thinking, this really doesn't seem any different than undercover cops posing as prostitutes or drug dealers. But, that's just my $.02.

He may have been posing as a prostitute.

Good Afternoon!

Hmm... I actually just realized that I haven't had anything to eat today. Well... Except for two or three Freddo Frogs.

Hmm... Although, I'm not feeling hungry right now. Hmm...

In any case, I want to get out of the apartment for a bit and walk around. I think that will help ease this damn mosquito bite. I was Googling earlier to see if there was anything I should be concerned about, and I came across some other instances where someone got bit right where I did - just above the back of the knee - and, apparently, since that's a "low" blood flow area, sometimes mosquito bites to that area can take a while to dissipate. Consequently, they have a tendency to welt up a little more than normal. Again, it doesn't itch, it's just a matter of me always feeling it there. However, if it's still a bit welty tomorrow, I'm probably head to the doctor just to be safe.

I considered that, too.

Far more likely, I think, is that he got Craig's attention first, then entered the stall. It doesn't make sense that he did nothing at all.

I've got some writing to do so let me take care of that now. Then, I'll head back down and finish the chapter of DEATHLY HALLOWS that I began earlier.

I cleaned the living room this morning, so I don't have that to worry about.

The first place Brigham sent the missionaries to was Idaho. Idaho is virtually as Mormon as Utah, followed closely by Nevada and Arizona. They're everywhere, I tell you.
