Well, you've read the notes, the notes had you dreaming of food, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're dreaming of food and thinking about eating themselves.

Stayed home today.  Major sinus headache.  Slept most of the day.  

Have been up a few hours.  Ate a nice dinner.  Watched the newest edition of "Project Runway 3" -- got a few really good laughs, which I enjoyed.

Time now to put it all back to bed and try to make a go of it tomorrow.

Headache has subsided, but remnants are still there back behind my eyes.

Sigh.

Happy birthday to anyone I've missed.

Vibes to anyone who may be needing them.

Congratuatlions to all who rate them.

Best wishes to everyone else.

Cars.  I'm not that interested.  I guess my favourite is probably the MG. TC - British Racing Green.

I know nothing about the mechanical matters involved in automobiles and I do not look after my car very well. I don't even bother cleaning it very often.

I'll have to think about the Topic of the Day at a later time.  I'm going to bed soon because after work tomorrow at approximately 6:00 PM, my sister and I are going to look at condominiums!  There's a place in Tumwater (just on the other side of I-5 where I live, and much closer to where I work) that has two condos for sale and I might buy one!  I'll be a home owner!  I'll be responsible for everything!  I'll have to pay taxes!!  I looked around at the outside of the place last year and it's not too bad.  The pictures on the on-line listing are very nice.  I think one is just an upstairs unit and the other is a townhouse with an upstairs bedroom loft.  The place is really the perfect location for me...literally, less than a mile from where I work.  I could walk to work all the time (which I would like to do)! ;D
Title: Re:DREAMING OF FOOD
Post by: George on August 17, 2006, 12:49:35 AM
But I have no idea about the money part of it.  My sister said that she'd help me with the down-payment because our parents gave her the lot to build the house that she now lives in and they no longer have anything for me. ::) She's probably going to get some kind of home equity loan just for that and then she can repay it from selling the house that I'm renting from her right now...which I don't want to buy.  So, all I have to do is find out exactly what my sister will be able give me, how much the units are and then get a loan!  Then I'll never be able to use the 1040EZ tax form again...that's the part I dread the most. ;) I've never done anything other than the 1040EZ.  I hope it's not too hard. :-\

Aww, VixMom, I think the card I mailed you will be late.  I thought your B-day was later in the week.  

I was teary eyed just reading about the 911 tapes.  I had to stop or I would have burst into full blown tears at work.  I still don't understamd the mind set that could do something so horrible.

I don't have a car. I haven't had one since 1980 when I moved to New York. I couldn't imagine owning a car again. We usually rent a car once a year (or less) when we go back to Minnesota. If we moved to a new location I guess we would have to have a car but I would be one of those annoying nerds who insisted on a small, energy efficient car which got high, high mileage (perhaps a hybrid).

Although I wasn't downtown (near the World Trade Center) I was close enough to see the Towers burning and I have no desire to hear ANYONE's 911 calls. Not to pass judgement (oh, hell, I'll do it anyway), I think it's gruesome. I also don't need to see Oliver Stone's movie. I don't care if it's the best movie ever made. I lived through the time. I can't imagine going through it again on celluloid. I know there is great interest outside of New York (and probably in New York) about the events, especially with the 5 year anniversary looming large but I will observe it in my own, quiet, way.

The release of the 911 tapes bothers me.  I can't help feeling that there are privacy issues here, that the families and friends of those who made the calls are now having to endure the event in an even more public way than they had to endure it before.  Now, complete strangers are listening to their loved ones final moments.  Everything is being exposed, exploited.  It's just wrong.

I just hope we don't have to park the car too many times, since that can get expensive.

TD, I've never been to myspace but I have had lots of youtube videos sent to me by friends. Yes, it can be quite addicting. There are many clips from Broadway shows and the old TV shows like the CB clip you are wonderful to see. Even though the quality isn't great the clips are still fun to watch.

Good morning, all!  My life is too action-packed for words today.  I'm off to Toyland for several hours, then a jaunt to the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization to look over a small job and initiate a contract for the work.  Following my visit there, I have a trek to the NYPL Theatre Collection to peruse some Elsie Janis scrapbooks.  Hopefully, after that, I can catch up with my WIZARD OF OZ friend David Maxine before he returns to San Francisco tomorrow.  I've left at least two messages for him on his cell and one on email,but there's been no response since his initial call on Monday!

The day I moved to New York and gaver up my car, insurance companies all over the USA threw a party.  I now only drive in my hometown since I know the territory, and I hate driving in unfamiliar environments.  There are no words to describe how underwhelmed I am at the thought of owning a car.  I have no thoughts on today's TOD beyond that.

I woke up still feeling anxious about the job situation.  I'm feeling like I got locked into a decision I'm not yet sold on.  I'm hoping that goes away when they supply me with important details such as salary and benefits.  An offer isn't a formal offer until they provide those details, correct?  Likewise an acceptance isn't an acceptance until they've been provided.

I always thought a Cord would be nice-- say around '37 or '38.  But a 1956 Lincoln Continental was one very cool car.  Very classic lines.  Very much like a T-Bird but just a little more Bentley Greg.

Any Thunderbird from 1956 through about 1968 would be nice too.

I just turned 40 a few months ago and I guess I finally have to start growing up.  Darn. :P

;)

Don't you do it! In terms of business and managing money in order to pay bills and taxes and stay out of debt, I assume a mask of adulthood for those minutes it takes to do that.

Otherwise, I feel as young inside as I did at 18. I asked my father before he died if he felt young inside, and he told me fighting in the Pacific in World War II took that out of him.

Since I never was in the military (apart from two years in Army ROTC in college), I didn't have that experience. Maybe that's why I continue to feel just as immature and goofy inside as I did when I was a teen.

Glad you're on-line, DR MBarnum!

There was an article in the newspaper today describing the Bollywood movie that's been filming at the Rockingham Speedway here. I'm sure you'd be familiar with the stars: Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukherjee. The movie's title in English is DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY and involves a race car champion who hits the skids and then fights his way back to the top.

In fact, it sounds a lot like TALLEDAGA NIGHTS, the Will Ferrell movie that's been #1 at the box-office the last two weeks except the Bollywood movie won't be merely a farce like the Ferrell film is.

I had no idea Indians were even interested in stock car racing. One learns something every day.

THough having a car is pretty much a necessity in this area of the country, I've never been a car person. I just want something reliable that will get me where I need to go.

However, I think I would love to have had one of those electric cars that the oil barons and car manufacturers managed to squash all those years ago.

As little as I drive now, an electric car would suit my needs admirably.

The MR.

I would have absolutely NO interest in watching Steve Martin's version of THE PINK PANTHER. The ads on TV turned me right off, and I knew I'd never watch it in any venue: the theater, on DVD or on pay-cable.

And I read there is a movement underfoot to remake ALL ABOUT EVE with Sigourney Weaver as Margo Channing. That's another movie I'll be sure to miss.

TOD:

I have to admit that I'm one of those persons who love the design, look, and uniqueness of certain cars.  I'm not a "rebuild the carburetor" kind of guy (yea, like that's any big surprise!) , but I do love the interior and exterior design details of a number of autos.

I'll probably list some a little later.  But for any of you DRs who live in the southern California area, one of the most beautiful collection of truly "classic cars" (as opposed to hot-rods or so-called "muscle cars") is housed in a lovely museum out in the far north end of the San Fernando valley in Sylmar.

It is called "The Nethercutt Collection", it is housed in 2 large buildings, and there is no charge involved.  The one building is all cars and is open to the public at any time, and the other taller building houses both cars and other antiques and a floor of musical instruments, and it is free but requires a reservation.  The reservation is because in that building, the tours are conducted by a guide who gives a very informative description of the items.

The taller building is called "San Sylmar," and the one level building is called "The Nethercutt Collection."  The number to call for reservations for the guided tour building, is (818) 367-2251.  And the museums are located at 15200 Bledsoe Street, Sylmar, California.

Hi DR Cilla..........

Even though DP Kerry and I have had a really wonderful string of exotic cars over the years, my own "daily driver" right now is also a Prius hybrid.  I have never had a car that was better built, quiet, wonderful sound insulation, no rattles or squeaks, and it is a bonus in these days to actually get 44 mpg around the city.

Before I go....I agree on the 9/11  911 tapes.  I don't see any point in releasing them to the public.  I can understand a committee studying them to see if there are ways to improve communication between law enforcement and medical personnel in emergencies or in allowing family members who want to hear them to do so, beyond that it's pretty disgusting, especially this long after the event

Cool! I agree.  I had a 2003 Prius. It was a lot different, more of a little eco-mobile. When I got my 2005 Prius, I felt like I was moving into a sports car.

Well I only got home at 9:15pm. So i sort of watched it backwards. Although i knew it was going to come down to benji and travis.

I also knew benji was more popular so i was not surprised by the outcome (i was very happy but teary).

I liked how they got to do their favorite numbers. But i wish benji had chosen a better one for him and heidi. I was really happy to get to see that travis/heidi park bench one (since i had missed it the first time).

I thought the finale was terrific. But I will say that the dialspoiler site had the results right on. I actually thought heidi would finish 3rd. But they had the results as (something like this):
benji 15 000
travis 11 000
donyelle 7000
heidi 4000

I'm not sure what those numbers represent. But you can see how much more popular benji was.

The only thing i found weird on the show was how they dismissed heidi and donyelle. I think they should have had all 4 standing together. Oh and i also wish they hadn't waited till 9:57 to announce the winner. My favorite part is watching the reactions.


Will anybody be going to the tour?  I would if it came here.

I agree wholeheartedly with Ben regarding the 9/11 calls and movies. I was reading the paper this morning, and had to just turn past those pages of phone call text.

I will say one thing though, regarding making them public. It is an unfortunate necessity. And the reason is, if you don't make everything public, people will think something is being hidden from them. The government is required to do this, and it is a good thing, not only because sometimes a government might actually be trying to hide something, but the appearance of secrecy foments conspiracy theorists and other such rabble rousers.

One does wish the press would not use the release of the material in such a sensationalistic manner.

I was feeling like jumping on a bandwagon, so since everyone else seemed to be getting tickets to the Thurs. Oct. 5th Drowsy Chaperone performance, i figured it was the happening place to be that night.  So i grabbed myself a ticket before they're all gone.  Any chance of a post-show snack that night, people who are going?  (The show is actually an early-ending show, ends about 9:45 or 9:50, IIRC.)

Also, at least from what little I did read this morning, the words of private citizens (i.e. people who are not rescue workers or dispatchers) have been redacted from the released materials.

The exceptions are in cases where the call content was already used on record in a trial.

So, there is some judiciousness to what was released.

A couple of nights ago, I was on youtube.com and watched a pretty bad videotape of Sherie René Scott performing "My Strongest Suit" from the original Broadway production of Aida and then Idina Menzel's version from later in the run!  THEN I had two browsers up and resized so that I could watch both them at the same time!  I had to pause one or the other every once in a while to sync them up but it was pretty cool seeing them literally side by side! ;D

Post by: George on August 17, 2006, 09:30:41 AM

I just turned 40 a few months ago and I guess I finally have to start growing up.  Darn. :P

;)

Don't you do it! In terms of business and managing money in order to pay bills and taxes and stay out of debt, I assume a mask of adulthood for those minutes it takes to do that.

Otherwise, I feel as young inside as I did at 18. I asked my father before he died if he felt young inside, and he told me fighting in the Pacific in World War II took that out of him.

Since I never was in the military (apart from two years in Army ROTC in college), I didn't have that experience. Maybe that's why I continue to feel just as immature and goofy inside as I did when I was a teen.

Thanks for the encouragement! ;D

There's a place in Tumwater (just on the other side of I-5 where I live, and much closer to where I work) that has two condos for sale and I might buy one!  I'll be a home owner!  I'll be responsible for everything!  I'll have to pay taxes!!  I looked around at the outside of the place last year and it's not too bad.  The pictures on the on-line listing are very nice.  I think one is just an upstairs unit and the other is a townhouse with an upstairs bedroom loft.  

Things to find out:

Monthly HOA/Condo fees (this is property management...and it's NEVER a fixed fee).
Age of building!  (The older, the more maintenance required and the more costly "fixes" in its future).
Last major "fixes" (i.e., roof, hot water heaters, elevator -- if any -- plumbing).

On your need-to-know list:  Condos are more costly than paying the monthly mortgage.  You have monthly HOA/Condo fees, insurance and, when required, "assessments" to offset your share of common expenses like a new roof, or new siding, or painting or whatever.  These things are never dependent upon whether it's in your budget at the time!!! That's "in addition to" your normal mortgage/HOA fees.

Also ask for a copy of the CC&Rs BEFORE you commit to anything.  Sometimes, a condo board will consist of some eccentric souls who, for their own reasons, believe everyone should think as they think...and they impose some strange "rules" on everyone else (these are the folks who run for the HOA board and win and then make rules whether they get full ownership participation or not).  Be aware that condos are VERY POLITICAL.

If you can live and let live and let everyone decide what's best for your without your interfering, then proceed blithely forward.  Or....find out everything before you make your final decision!

:D

On the film music board, this guy I really think is a fool made a post in which he said something about "the last act" of The President's Analyst film.  I posted that given the use of "the last act" he must have gone to film school or taken the class of Syd Field or Robert McKee.  He came back and basically said he'd met Syd and liked what he had to say, and had taken Mr. McKee's class (and hadn't liked him - but obviously liked the terminology).  I do not like the terminology and find it amusing that so many youngsters use it as if it's the be-all and end-all of film script structure.

Okay, Ron...what are CC&Rs??

Conditions, Covenants & Restrictions

In general, they are a good thing.  However, dependent upon the makeup of the "elected" board that modified the latest version, the CC & Rs could read more like "How to keep everyone in line with every nitpicking thing the HOA board can imagine."

There's always bad mixed in with the good...generally the bad is something one or two want to impose on everyone else...and they get away with it because it shuts them up so they'll leave everyone alone.

In my unit, it recently became "no charcoal grills on the balconies" (even though local fire codes permit such things).  Gas grills and electric grills are fine.

The purpose of CC & R's is to give guidelines to enhance the quality of living and preserve property values for everyone.

What an infuriating morning.  The DVDs arrived at ten.  What should have taken all of ten minutes - stuffing the pre-addressed envelopes - turned into an hour because the DVDs wouldn't fit in the envelopes without the envelopes bending, tearing, or just not fitting at all.  Now, these are the same envelopes in which I shipped the DVDs for Deceit - those were snug but no probs getting them inside.  Same envelopes.  Same exact size DVD case (the Deceit DVD won't fit in these recently purchased envelopes) - which means that the envelopes are slightly smaller.  So, I had to go buy the next size, readdress everything (including the delivery confirmation slips) and what a pain in the ASS and the fesrhluganah envelope company can KISS MY ASS because I wasted about thirty bucks on those envelopes that I can't get refunded because I used them.

I think I'm a little late on the car topic, but I wanted to chime in about my 76 beetle. It's in almost perfect condition and was my daily driver for years. I'm kind of a beetle fanatic, take it to car shows and belong to a vw news group and such. I'm not quite sure how to post a pic or I would put one up. To give you an idea it's the color of a brand new penny, not a dent or scratch, and the interior is almost perfect. I'm in love with older cars, I think they have more character and personality than newer cars. BUT, after riding in DR Cillaliz's Prius I decided I could drive a new car. It really is quiet and has a good ride, not to mention the savings on gas mileage. All right, that's my 2 cents for now.

Happiest of Happy Birthdays, Dear Dear S. Woody White!!! And many more to come. You should enjoy in good health!

TOD - loved my first car - a 66 light cream colored VW Bug, with a sun roof and everything... 5-speed... my brother drove it into its grave, while I was in Europe... Next fave was my trusty Honda CRX, '85, got almost 50 mpg. In summer 1991 a drunk came crashing into it - byebye, CRX. I immediately bought another one, an '88, drove it for years. And then, nearly 3 years ago, I bought the estimable and totally terrific 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid - which gets better than 50 mpg, and on which I have racked up 75,000 miles. I do love that car. Yup - I am a frugal sort, who appreciates economy!

DR PennyO, it's awesome to know you had a bug. Nowadays that 66 would be worth probably 4 or 5 times what you would have bought it for new. It's kinda crazy, people will buy those older in bugs that are in good condition at quite the cost.

Off to the theatre......

at least it's not raining.

Watched the VHS of THE FANTASTICKS....forgot how much I really like the music.....even in the movie.  And it is only movie I have seen where I liked Joel Grey's performance....even though I know he is a close personal friend of DRGINNY.

Very excited about the upcoming Broadway adventures of DR GINNY and DH RICHARD and DR's CILLALIZ and JKVW!!!

My best friend in Jr High, Dave, had a 1958 Imperial sitting in his back yard for years...it was the old family car...it finally rotted away and I think his parents paid someone to haul it off back in the mid 90s.

Happiest of Happy Birthdays, Dear Dear S. Woody White!!! And many more to come. You should enjoy in good health!

TOD - loved my first car - a 66 light cream colored VW Bug, with a sun roof and everything... 5-speed... my brother drove it into its grave, while I was in Europe... Next fave was my trusty Honda CRX, '85, got almost 50 mpg. In summer 1991 a drunk came crashing into it - byebye, CRX. I immediately bought another one, an '88, drove it for years. And then, nearly 3 years ago, I bought the estimable and totally terrific 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid - which gets better than 50 mpg, and on which I have racked up 75,000 miles. I do love that car. Yup - I am a frugal sort, who appreciates economy!

I had a green 1966 VW bug in grad school, 1969-71.  I loved it and miss it still.

Then I watched MYSTERIOUS MR. MOTO. Enjoyed it more than the previous two. There was a real mystery here, and I guessed the identity of the mastermind before it was revealed.

Lots of people in this movie that didn't get billing. Leon Ames had a BIG part, and he didn't get billing. Neither did a favorite movie and TV villain - Leonard Maudie.

This may be the first time I ever saw Henry Wilcoxin in a movie not produced or directed by Cecil B. DeMille.

Then, I watched the featurette on the career of director Norman Foster. I had NO idea he had no only directed CHANS and MOTOs at Fox but also did a lot of work at Walt Disney including the DAVY CROCKETT and ZORRO series. Also was great friends with Orson Welles and directed JOURNEY INTO FEAR.

I have to say that greatly enjoyed all of the featurettes presented on the four MOTO DVDs. Very concise and worthwhile overviews in the lives and careers of these movie folks.

My local NBC affilliate is preempting MY NAME IS EARL and THE OFFICE tonight with a special on the upcoming season of the Carolina Panthers, so I won't get to see either of them tonight.

For JRand and Jose...and anyone else who watches "Project Runway":

Last night's episode was, at times, hysterically funny to me.

Kayne's original creation...!! As he said, it looked like "a frog exploded on it."

Loved Laura's remark: "There's some serious ugly in here!"

Hated that Alison had to go. Hated it, hated it, hated it. Mainly because I think Vincent's every fashion has been hideous and Alison has done some terrific stuff.

Still, she really had an ugly outfit on the runway.

I disagree with the choice of winner. Michael did well, but it was rather blah/bland. Jeffrey really stepped up...and got kicked in the...errr...um...gonads with that "just barely" remark about losing out on the top spot.

Kayne and Robert having their quickie meal...and trash-talking Laura...was a hoot.

Laura's remarks to Kayne were too bitchy, as were here post-runway remarks to Vincent, whom I believe she felt should have been the one to go instead of Alison.

Not her call to make...any of it. And I'm glad Kayne and Vincent gave her as good as she dished out.

Paraphrasing best bit of the night:

Laura (to Kayne): "I question your taste in many of the choices you make."

Kayne (to Laura): "And I question your character most of the time. I've won a challenge, and I certainly won't be dissed on camera by you."

DR PennyO, it's awesome to know you had a bug. Nowadays that 66 would be worth probably 4 or 5 times what you would have bought it for new. It's kinda crazy, people will buy those older in bugs that are in good condition at quite the cost.

My first car was an orange 76 Super Beetle!  I loved that car.  The next one I get will have to get better gas milage than what I'm getting now (about 30 in the city and going to Issaquah and back four days in a row, I got 35!) and I'd like another European car.  My second car was a Subaru Justy (Japanese) and the car I have now is a Ford Escort (US).  Back to Europe! ;)

DR Francois -- I would agree with you about 99% of the time about beef steak, but this isn't like a wonderful "entrecote avec pommes frites" type of steak.  Rather it is a peculiarly American and wonderful creation, which is truly delicious.  Also very rich (the "gravy" or sauce has lots of cream and butter and pan scrapings and stuff in it).  If you ever hit Hollywood, ask our Esteemed BK to take you to Musso & Frank Grill on Hollywood Boulevard.

The release of the 911 tapes bothers me.  I can't help feeling that there are privacy issues here, that the families and friends of those who made the calls are now having to endure the event in an even more public way than they had to endure it before.  Now, complete strangers are listening to their loved ones final moments.  Everything is being exposed, exploited.  It's just wrong.


The news story I watched last night focused entirely on the families of the victims.  They were the ones that sued fot the release of those tapes, many of which the officials claimed did not exist.  One man, the father of a victim, said he could now have closure, because he now knew where his son was when he died.  The tapes are not my cup of tea, but I certainly would not wish to decide the issue for other people with much closer ties.

On the Sondheim listserv, someone posted THIS (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2089-2310051,00.html) article about the Johnny Depp "Sweeney Todd" movie.  In part, it says:

....Stephen Sondheim, the veteran composer, wants the actor to take a voice test before he blesses Depp as cinema’s latest Sweeney Todd.
The 76-year-old composer is concerned that Depp, who has played with rock bands since he was 13 and based his anti-hero Jack Sparrow on Keith Richards, the Rolling Stone, may be too “rock’n’roll” to play the murderous barber of Fleet Street.

Tim Burton, the London-based director behind the proposed film, has been praising Depp’s singing voice, but Sondheim needs to be convinced. The composer has said that he will not approve a cinematic version of his Broadway musical, which he describes as “virtually an opera”, if the main character has to mime rather than sing.

I guess if I had a dreamcar - which I don't - it would be my new car. It's quite snazzy and does everything except write scripts for me. And it's a hybrid, so I'm doing my bit for the environment. I gave my old car - which wasn't all that old and had very low mileage - to my DD.
I'll post a photo later.

Here's the new car-car...
It has a navigation system which was very helpful today in coming home from a meeting. I just punched in "Home" and the nice lady who lives inside the engine told me exactly how to get there. And she never once yelled at me!

Maria-nice car.  I should learn how to use my navigation system, just don't really need it around my small town, very often anyway. ;D Otherwise Keith is driving & he works it.

Back from the post office (everything is shipped and up to date), and from Mr. Geissman's house.  I'm happy to report that Mr. Geissman has outdone himself with the cover of the new short story collection -  it is, in a word, faboo, and in another word, magnificent and a total eye-catcher.  I kept asking him to print it out and he kept doing other things and then he had to leave and it was too late.  He's supposed to e-mail me the image in the morning, and I'm hoping to go over to his house and get a printout after my morning meeting.  I couldn't be happier and I think everyone will love it.

The good meal I was hoping to have isn't happening.  My dinner partner copped a plea of illness, and I was so hungry and fed up that I just stopped at MacDonald's and got some mediocre food to eat.  Oh, well.

I'm thinking a physicality to actually sing the role.  A tiny pip-squeek of a guy like Depp can't really have a booming baritone voice, can he? ;)

Three of the more booming baritone/bass voices in my experience have been Norman Treigle (may he rest in peace) - who was about 5'10 and weighed maybe a buck-oh-five; Justino Diaz - about 5'10 and maybe 140; and my ex, Charles Long, who back in the day, was 5'10 and weighed between 136-140 on a good day. Sam Ramey - another old pal, was/is about 5'11 and in HIS heyday, weighed probably 150. They all shared costumes at New York City Opera. They all played villains...

Any and all of those guys could have sung the sweet Bejeezus outa Sweeney. I don't know if Johnny Depp can sing, but I wouldn't question his dramatic/physical rightness for the role...

I’m tired, probably because I didn’t exercise today.  Instead I got work done around the house & the carpets cleaned.  I didn’t clean them, had the carpet guy come.  I did move some of the furniture & guarded the outside doors he had to leave ajar-didn’t want any lizards to move in.

‘night.

Jane - I would love to keep the mama cat inside and raise those kittens as house pets - if I had another month here I sure would. I have no idea when those babies will be born - I think gestation is 9 weeks - we could be three weeks or a month away. At which time, I'll be in LA... I have, from time to time, put 5 pounds of rice under the pump house when I leave, to keep mice coming back for more... a little rodent farm for mama cats...

Yes, DR Rodzinski, my first car was a beige 1973 AMC Hornet.  A far cry from that Capri that I really wanted.

BTW, like many other DRs, I am quite pleased with what I'm driving now, my Pontiac Vibe.  It's just the right size and gets good gas mileage.

Next came two episodes of GREY'S ANATOMY back-to-back. This was the supercharged Super Bowl episode and the conclusion of the two-partner that featured the rocket inside the man's body.

Kyle Chandler and Christina Ricci both earned Emmy nominations for their guest star roles on these episodes. Ricci might win for her work. Chandler was fine, but if he ends, I suspect it will be more for his character's fate than for the acting otherwise.

I still think James Woods is going to win it for ER.

I haven't seen the movie version of THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE in a long, long time, and I noticed that one of the HBO channels was showing it this afternoon, so I set the DVR to pick it up. Imagine my disgust when this Panavision movie was pan and scanned for broadcast. So, it got deleted about five minutes into the viewing. I'll have to make do with the DVD from the Delacorte live performance.

Dear Esteemed, benevolent, and multi-talented BK --

I'm really sorry that your evening intention of a really fabulous bunch of eats fell through.  In the parlance of the young, "that sucks!"

But to finish out the TOD (before retiring to bed) :

DP Kerry and I have had a really unusual string of cars over the years, sometimes having more than one of these at the same time.  

The first 2 on the list were my daily drivers for 12 to 15 years!

1956 Ford Thunderbird convertible hardtop
1933 Packard standard 8 4-door sedan
1972 Cadillac Eldorado hardtop
1975 Cadillac series 75 Limo sedan
1976 Cadillac Seville
1971 Karmann-Ghia
1959 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud I
1990 Ford Taurus
1995 Ford Explorer "Eddie Bauer" -red - (mid life crisis!)
4 or so Chrysler mini-vans
2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
2005 Toyota Prius

I admitted earlier that it was a most varied and eclectic bunch of cars!

G'night BK

G'night DRs

Goodnight.

Dear reader Laura, I have some opening night to go to on Saturday - some Mexican ballet or something - it's at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, so I'll only be ten minutes from Pasadena.

A Public Service Announcement that I filmed for the Tacoma Little Theatre, back in January, has started airing on all of the Northwest cable channels.  Since most of you don't watch cable in Washington State; if you want, you can check out the 30 second spot at this website:

That's wonderful, TCB!  Congrats!  You're famous!  Now...when are you going to be on MTV? :)

I was interviewed and will know in two to three weeks, via postcard and telephone call, whether I should start packing for another trip to the Big Apple. . .

Good luck!!  Win a million! ;D

Just call when you get in - let's see if we can work out a meal.

In the meantime, let's see if I can post the Cracked #104 art.

Oh, btw, the Millionaire thing was sponsored by NETFLIX; both a general test of thirty questions as well as a movie test of thirty questions were administered, I was chosen for the movie edition. . .the four questions I was very unsure of were an Eddie Murphy question, a MATRIX question, a MY COUSIN VINNIE question and a MYSTIC PIZZA question.
DR Elmoore, since you're so good at it, I may have to have you on hold as  a lifeline. . .
Truly a weird day, if I do say so myself.

On the film music board, this guy I really think is a fool made a post in which he said something about "the last act" of The President's Analyst film.  I posted that given the use of "the last act" he must have gone to film school or taken the class of Syd Field or Robert McKee.  He came back and basically said he'd met Syd and liked what he had to say, and had taken Mr. McKee's class (and hadn't liked him - but obviously liked the terminology).  I do not like the terminology and find it amusing that so many youngsters use it as if it's the be-all and end-all of film script structure.  
Are "last acts" in films in any way related to terrorist acts?  Or lumberjack's ax?  Or perhaps questions a lawyer for the prosecution asks?

Well, my sister, her boyfriend and I went and looked at three different condos today (that's all we did...just look).  They are all part of the same place.  There were aspects of each unit that I liked.  They all have two bedrooms, and two of them have loft bedrooms and fire places.  Also, they all have vaulted ceilings in at least one room.  One of them has one bathroom, one has one and a half bathrooms and one has two full bathrooms....
Title: Re:DREAMING OF FOOD
Post by: George on August 17, 2006, 11:27:24 PM
The unit with the one bathroom already had a washer and dryer, but we all thought that it was the most overpriced because it has the smallest square footage (855 square feet) and only one bath but it cost the same amount as the unit with the two full baths and 1,050 square feet.  Both of those have two levels.
Title: Re:DREAMING OF FOOD
Post by: George on August 17, 2006, 11:28:42 PM
The unit with only one and a half baths has 1,250 square feet and is on three levels (but again, it only has a powder room on the ground floor and a full bathroom on the second level...if you use the very top for the master bedroom, you have to go downstairs to use the bathroom).  This unit also had the smallest kitchen area and is $11,000 more than the other two units.  
Title: Re:DREAMING OF FOOD
Post by: George on August 17, 2006, 11:32:09 PM
The overall best part is that the condo "community" is literally one street across from where I work.  I LOVE that part.  I really think that if this all works out (and nothing is a done deal...I really was just looking at this point), I think that I could be happy with any of these units.  The negatives seemed to be really minor, except for one thing:  the unit with the two full baths (1,050 footage, and the nicest looking) has very noisy neighbors right next door (and they share a wall).  There are little storage units on the outside in between the front doors of the two units and from what I've been told, one of those neighbors accidentally(?) dropped a lit cigarette and that little storage unit caught on fire!  It was already being replaced, but it could be an indicator of what life could be like there.  So that's why as much as I liked the two full baths, I might put that at the bottom of my list.  We'll see what happens now.  But then, the place has rentals as well as purchasable condos, so maybe these noisy people are renters and won't stay for very long.  One can only hope. ;)

Before ANY of this can move forward, I must consult with my financial advisor...my mother!  She really does have good advice in these matters (even if I don't always follow it ::)).

We asked questions of the lady who showed us the units (she's a friend of my sister's boyfriend and I think newly started working as a realtor) and she wasn't able to answer much, but she was very nice and took a lot of notes and will get answers to the questions that we asked.  She also said that she'd get a copy of the CC&R.
