Happy birthday, Ron Pulliam!

As for pizza... I'll have to double-check my guidebooks and notes. However, we did order some pizza from a new take-out place up in my neighborhood called Vinegar Hill Bread Market & Gourmet (137th & Broadway). Some amazingly - and surprisingly so - good pie. *And the people who run Vinegar Hill, also run the taqueria, Tres Tacos and Café Largo on either side of the market.
-Oh, DR elmore and I did enjoy the pie at Dean's Pizza on 85th.
And for what some consider the classic New York Pie - besides the one you find near Coney Island - there's always Patsy's Pizzeria which has a couple of locations around town. *But the original in East Harlem is still the best.

I prefer THE PRESTIGE to THE ILLUSIONIST, but only by a narrow margin. I prefer the casting of THE ILLUSIONIST to the cast of THE PRESTIGE.
DR Jane - I'm looking forward to the next MUMMY movie! Did you see Rachel Weisz in THE FOUNTAIN? Now that she's an Academy Award winning actress, she probably feels she can depart any film due to "creative differences." I'll miss her, but, she has done some truly fine work outside of THE MUMMY franchise.
I think I may have just watched the best dramatic film of the past year: ZODIAC. Mesmerizing, hypnotic, compelling and (importantly to me) a great creative transfer from book to screen. I picked up the dvd in the used bin at Movie Gallery for less than ten bucks (knowing that there will be a super-duper-deluxe-ultimate edition coming in February, I wasn't going to leap onto this dvd at premium prices).

Is that a backyard bird, DR Tomovoz?

Immigrant Crackdown Halted
Judge Delays DHS Plan to Check Social Security Numbers
By Spencer S. Hsu
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, September 1, 2007; A03
A federal judge yesterday barred the Bush administration from launching a crackdown Tuesday on U.S. employers who hire illegal immigrants while she considers a lawsuit by the AFL-CIO that charges that the plan will harm citizens and other legal workers.
The ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge Maxine M. Chesney in San Francisco, prohibits the Department of Homeland Security from starting to mail notices to 140,000 employers about suspect Social Security numbers. The "no- match" letters warn of penalties employers face by having discrepancies in their paperwork.
The order was a victory for the labor federation and the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed suit alleging that DHS is overstepping its authority to enforce immigration laws and is misusing a Social Security Administration database. They allege that the letters are an effort to pressure businesses to fire workers whose documents are flagged and could expose countless immigrant workers -- including law-abiding citizens and legal residents -- to job discrimination.
…
There are errors in the Social Security records of an estimated 12.7 million native-born U.S. citizens, 250,000 foreign-born citizens and 4.8 million legal immigrants, potentially creating a paralyzing bureaucratic nightmare for workers and Social Security offices if their records are dragged into the sweep, union representatives said.
In recent years, the Social Security Administration has found that up to 10 percent of workers have suspect numbers, whether because of fraud, innocent typographical errors, confusion over name changes, multiple surnames or other reasons. Under the DHS proposal, starting Sept. 14 employers would have 90 days to resolve questions concerning such employees' identities or to fire them. If they do not comply, businesses face the possibility of fines and even criminal penalties for knowingly violating federal law that bars employing illegal workers.
If the government is going to require employers to fire workers because they are suspected illegal aliens, then the government must be prepared to take them into custody, at once, and proceed with deportation! Able bodied men wandering the streets unable to gain employment is a recipe for social disaster.
If my employer receives a "no-match letter" from DHS, will my showing proof of citizenship be sufficient to retain my job until the Social Security System gets it's act together?
How many DRs can produce, on demand, proof of U. S. Citizenship (certified copy of Birth Certificate, valid U.S. Passport, certified DD214 (Military Discharge) - Drivers L. is NOT good enough?
Once ICE does a sweep in a meatpacking town, there will not be enough hotel rooms to house the attorneys necessary to process the "no-match" workers.

One of the producers I work with is moving this weekend, and has saved all his very nice boxes for me. Even though I've packed up a lot, there is still a lot to go. I've got about 40 wine boxes full of stuff stashed in the kitchen.
Since I couldn't get my first choice in moving companies, I took the recommendation of a friend who has moved a lot recently, and I'm hoping they'll do good.
I had first asked my client who he was using to move. It was a company called "Good Samaritan". I looked them up and there were 4 client reviews, all terrible. I tried to talk him out of using them but a friend recommended them, so...
While on the way to the new house with the moving truck, the truck was pulled over for a "safety check". It turned out the driver had a suspended license! So the police took him away and the other 3 guys who were left were Mexican laborers and none had a drivers license. So they had to send another driver out to get the truck and continue the move.
Something tells me there will soon be 5 bad ratings on kudzu.com!

Yesterday, I went to the LAST matinee performance of Young Frankenstein!! It was still very good! It was also a lot shorter. When I saw it the first time (August 14th), there was a scene near the end of the first act where the villagers pretend to welcome Doctor "Fronkensteen" to their village, and they present him with local Transylvanian cheese and soap. The doctor asks which is which and the local villager who presents them isn't sure. He takes a bite out of one (and he really did eat something), eats it, takes a moment and then eats the other stuff...and he really eats that too, but even after tasting both, he's not sure which is the soap and which is the cheese! It was a funny scene, but it was not in yesterday's performance...and I didn't miss it. I guess there were a lot of little nips and tucks here and there throughout the show. Overall, it flowed quite well and was about 20 shorter than when I saw it the first time. It was a good length. :)
-
[size=9]BK has been Simpsonized!![/size]

After the show, I didn't stick around for too long, but I did take a few pictures...here's one of Roger Bart signing autographs:

It was...okay. I mean, I don't know if it was just me or what, but there was no banana flavor in the cheesecake itself. It was good, but not banana-y, at all. Only the actual bananas had any banana flavor. :-\ Oh, well. At least, I've finally had cheesecake while actually in The Cheesecake Factory (my sister and niece have gone quite a few times and have brought me back some). :)
-
And then on my drive home, I stopped at Krispy Kreme and bought two dozen donuts! I'd been invited to a potluck barbecue this afternoon where the burgers and hot dogs are being provided, so I thought I'd bring some desserts. :) So that's what I'm bringing...two dozen assorted donuts. :D

Good morning, all! I have little to report. I don't know what may be the current Gilfry apartment status at the moment, but I do hope all was resolved favorably yesterday, I've about five chapters to finish my reread of Balzac's COUSIN BETTE, and I'm thinking about PERE GORIOT or EUGENIE GRANDET next, and I'm off to Toyland to continue the Montgomery & Stone trackdown: I wish the Institute would give us a keyboard for the office, but I suppose replacing the stolen computers would be a wiser decision. I've also got to lay out Cason's number in a new key and add the dance break in the next two days.

Has Ron P checked in yet for his birthday wishes?

Don't know, but I need to get going to breakfast. I had planned to work outside all day today, but the rain has totally changed my plans. That means time to scrub the basement room....yuck. I have been dreading it, but once it's done I can start moving on my plans. Oh, and I can pick out the color and go buy the paint while there is still a $5.00 rebate per gallon.

I'm up, I'm up. I was up much earlier, but refused to let that happen and so just laid in bed like so much fish until I fell asleep again, which I did. Then I got up at nine, refused to actually leave the bed, then fell asleep until ten.

Good morning!
When I got up to get the newspaper, I was greeted with the first cool morning we've had in a month and a half. The themrmometer said 63. Tomorrow should be an equally cool morning. Sadly, the five day forecast is for temps to be climbing back to the mid-90s, and only one more cool morning before the heat returns anew.

With such cool morning weather, I hauled out the lawnmower and mowed the front and most of the back yard. Glad that's done for awhile. How I hate mowing grass. I'm thinking maybe next spring I will finally break down and hire a yard service to do it.

Suburb opens this Thursday -- press night is Tuesday -- and I'm ready to be committed to Sunny Vale.
When all is said and done, I'll have to post a recap of my AD experience -- and experience it has been... BUT I've learned a lot (that maybe I don't want to be a director after all ....) so in that respect it's been a perfect practicum for my Master (not the part about maybe not wanting to be a director any more -- that actually is undermining my Master plan -- but the part about learning so much has been good).
I'm really proud of the set and worked with the guy yesterday to get all the lighting set -- my first lighting design project and I think it's going to look really cool -- got to use some gobos (guess that's how you spell it) for two scenes -- red flames for the barbecue scene which is written as very frenzied and rtitualistic and a window pane with the light blue moonlight spilling through for a night time bedroom scene. Oops, too much info but the lighting got me fired up again after a bad week (I was ready to walk one night -- grrrrr -- working with some of the people -- grrrrr!)
Oh, and the cast is doing really well -- they've got it down pretty much, they just need to stay focused -- at times they seem to know know the music but are starting to flub some of the lyrics again now that they're messing with props and costume changes (the music it rather Sondheimish so tricky -- and not forgiving if you get the least bit distracted) -- and they're at that point where they need an audience. I know it's there, I just haven't seen them turn it up to the full wattage yet.

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I ended up falling asleep last night and waking up to this morning a new recording of Bach's "Goldberg Variations" by the pianist, Simone Dinnerstein. I had seen a few write-ups about her and her recording over the past few weeks, and since it was on sale at Virgin yesterday, well...
Of course, I ended up listening to almost all of the 30 variations and the da capo of the Aria before I finally drifted off to sleep last night. As most of the reviews have indicated, this is not your "Father's Goldbergs". Even the main Aria upon which the following variations are based is imbued with more, well, "musicality", than I've ever heard before. -The repeat of the first section is actually haunting in a way - I ended up hitting the rewind button a few times last night just to listen to it again, amazing sense of color and control.
And when I woke up this morning... It was a good thing to wake up to. Alas, I also found out that there's a bad area on the disc - lots of skipping in one of the variations - so I'll have to take it back to Virgin today for an exchange. However, what wasn't skipping was still quite a fascinating and illuminating listen.

The white pelicans often nest in the lakes area where my parents live. But they aren't there this year.
Tonight we were discussing how there are fewer songbirds this year, noticibly so. Has anyone else noticed that?
Sadly, that seems to be true, but there are a lot more rapperbirds around than I care to hear.
-
Good morning all -
And a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our dear Ron Pulliam! I know my mother has already done enough birthday wishing to cover the entire Murphy clan, if not everyone else on here, but I figure you can never hear "Happy Birthday" enough...

Here is a great idea for a full HHW gathering (provided someone wins the Mega millions or the Powerball).

Good Afternoon!
Well... I need to get ready to head in for my matinee. It's not until three, but I think I'll do my usual routine of getting off the subway a couple of stops early, and walking down to the theatre - it's just such a beautiful day. -I also have to stop in Virgin to exchange my defective CD.
Then it's a possible dinner with some DRs, and then I'm seeing/hearing Eldar at The Blue Note tonight - his late/last set. I can't wait! :)
So...
Laters...
-
One of these men still doesn't know his lines. :P
Ahhh ...stage right?
-
Back from a jog and boy are my arms tired.
I walked up to the jogging path then jogged from 52nd to 30th and back to 40th at which time I thought it a good idea to stop - that's about a mile and a half, and I walked briskly all the way back home.
-
What and where is this fershluganah dinner? Has anyone noticed I'm never invited to these things. elmore doesn't invite me to the Gilfrey and Jose dinner - I think I shall go eat some worms for dinner.
-
I'm still thinking of pizza.
-
Whatever I end up doing for dinner it will be earlyish because I really want to just do nothing this evening but relax - it's a big week ahead.
-
Heard from my pal Alex Rybeck who invited me to see Penny Fuller on her opening night at the Metropolitan Room, so I'll be doing that on Wednesday night. What fun.
-
Will we never get to page seven? You'd think it was Labor Day weekend or something.
-
BK - Hopefully, that'll work out perfectly with Penny fuller's show starting at 7:30 on Wednesday.
Milla's 6 p.m. set at Barnes & Noble Lincoln Center on Wed. willl be over by 6:35 at the very latest, and you wouldn't need to hang around for the CD signing.
-
These TV ads for Randy Quaid in LONE STAR LOVE have done little to encourage me to buy tickets. Finally, yesterday I got a notice from Playbill about the opening of the prodcution in Seattle on September 8. They were kind enough to mention that in addition to the top-billed Mr. Quaid, the show also stars Robert Cuccioli and Clarke Thorell. On March 26, 1997, I saw Mr. Cuccioli in JEKYLL AND HYDE; and on March 29, 1997, I saw Mr Thorell in the first preview of TITANIC.
Now, I am interested in seeing the show.

Jose can give you directions to the New Worm restaurant , he probably has a discount coupon for you as well, and the wauter there is a personal frien of his

Alex wasn't sure of the time. He's working until six anyway, so I'll probably just meet him at seven - have no idea where the Metropolitan is but I assume it's not that far from Barnes and Noble. In any case, Milla is my first commitment even if I have to shine Miss Fuller on.
-
Hi Noel! WFO has told me he will be joining us for your 8 PM show on the 30th!
-
I'm talking to several folks about dinner - I really am in the pizza mode, so we'll see what happens.
-
I must get the Vixter to her optomertrist appointement -new glasses for the new school year!!!
LATERS!!
-
Listening to a wonderful Milton Nascimento CD with gorgeous orchestrations by Eumir Deodato.
-
BK - Unless you want to be there for the meet-and-greet after Milla's perf, you'd really have no problem doing both.
Here's the detail on Milla's show, in case anyone else wants to come.
Barnes & Noble’s Any Wednesday celebrates the best in jazz, cabaret and theater performers by inviting Milla Ilieva, whom BroadwayWorld.com’s Michael Dale describes as “on her way to joining the ranks of cabaret royalty,” to celebrate the release of her debut CD “Taking A Chance On Love” on Bruce Kimmel’s prestigious Kritzerland label in the spacious third floor events space at the Lincoln Triangle Barnes and Noble at 66th and Broadway in New York City on Wednesday, September 5. Milla’s performance, with Paul Trueblood at the piano, begins at 6:00 p.m., lasts approximately a half hour and is followed by a signing/meet-and-greet session. The event is free and open to all. For questions, comments or if you require further information, please contact Bart Greenberg at AnyWednesdayBN@aol.com or 212-595-9340.
Milla will perform songs chosen from the following well-known and lesser known Broadway and film songs: “What A Night This Is Going To Be/Night Of My Nights,” “A Cockeyed Optimist,” “When Does The Ravishing Begin,” “Where’s That Rainbow,” “I Found Him/I Could Have Danced All Night,” “Do What You Do/Do It Again,” “Tess’s Torch Song,” “Time Heals Everything,” “Sara Lee,” “Everybody’s Girl,” “The Only Game In Town,” “I’d Rather Wake Up By Myself,” “Taking A Chance On Love,” and “Half A Moment.”
As Mark Twain said, “Twenty years from now, you’ll be more disappointed by the things you did NOT do than by the things you DID do. So explore! Dream! Discover!” Take A Chance On Love!

Pizza.

Funny thing about that is, Lone Star Love wasn't even a new musical back then. It was "announced" for Broadway in 2000, which shows you what "announced" really means. I saw the show in 2004, and felt it was labored and long. The plotting of Shakespeare's comedies needs to be tweaked for contemporary audiences ... Like what Sammy Buck did for Like You Like It.
Of course, when the writers of one of the NYMF shows, is mourned as a victim of the early days of AIDS, well, "new" gets redefined every day, don't it?
-
Perhaps it will be John's Pizza
-
Are we STILL on page six?
-
I will singlehandedly take us to page seven.
-
Under ten copies of the first twenty-five copies of Murder At Hollywood High, which will come with a special little extra something.
-
My folks are coming over to celebrate my dad's birthday, so our theme here will be "NU" GETS REDEFINED EVERY DAY.

I need to be blonde again, but will have to wait until my return to LA.

WELL! Hurry up.

Hi Noel! WFO has told me he will be joining us for your 8 PM show on the 30th!
I'm very much looking forward to meeting WFO, Vixmom, but Such Good Friends doesn't have an 8 PM show on the 30th. :'(
It's quite possible I've not been diligent enough in making sure the DRs have the info about my show. I'll try to remedy this here:

There's the Birthday Boy now!
Good Morning, Ron!
Good afternoon, Jose!
I've just gotten off the phone with my mom, who is directly responsible for my birth. I'm sure she's pleased to have survived so many of my birthdays.
-
One of these men still doesn't know his lines. :P
CAPTION SHOULD BE
"We know the line,but who says it?"
-
I need to be blonde again, but will have to wait until my return to LA.
Better contact Mr. Teddy soonest to ensure you get the date/time you want
-
Ah, DR vixmom....thank you, I think.
-
All this talk about pizza has made me want one.
I am having spaghetti for lunch, though.
And I've a rib eye in the refrigerator for din-din.
sigh.
PIZZA!
-
Okay, DR Jeanne is the little angel on your right shoulder saying in the sweet voice "Go for a walk, Dear BK" while Mz Karen is the little devil on the left shoulder saying in her Exorcist voice, "DONUT, DAMN IT!"
Walk, donut? Walk, donut? ... DONUT, DAMN IT!
LOL. Yes, I was thinking something very similar while writing that post.
Are you reading my mind, Miss K? Now THAT could get you in trouble!
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I ended up falling asleep last night and waking up to this morning a new recording of Bach's "Goldberg Variations" by the pianist, Simone Dinnerstein. I had seen a few write-ups about her and her recording over the past few weeks, and since it was on sale at Virgin yesterday, well...
Of course, I ended up listening to almost all of the 30 variations and the da capo of the Aria before I finally drifted off to sleep last night. As most of the reviews have indicated, this is not your "Father's Goldbergs". Even the main Aria upon which the following variations are based is imbued with more, well, "musicality", than I've ever heard before. -The repeat of the first section is actually haunting in a way - I ended up hitting the rewind button a few times last night just to listen to it again, amazing sense of color and control.
And when I woke up this morning... It was a good thing to wake up to. Alas, I also found out that there's a bad area on the disc - lots of skipping in one of the variations - so I'll have to take it back to Virgin today for an exchange. However, what wasn't skipping was still quite a fascinating and illuminating listen.
Glad to get your feedback on this, JOSE. I was reading about her just the other day. Sounds like it's well worth a listen.
-
Pizza sounds just great to me !!
-
However,Tonight at our club they have Turkey,Prime Rib.YUM!!
-
DR Jose-Need to read a full review of ELDAR. Wish I was there.
-
Getting very hungry
-
Happy Pre-Labor Day to all.
Very quiet on this site
Are you there?
-
when do we get to page nine?
-
Sorry-Page eight comes first,doesn't it?
-
What is this Eldar stuff? Is this guy out of his teens yet? I saw a couple of his CDs yesterday at Academy - is he the Craig Huxley of 2007?
-
DR Ron-
Nothing else special on this your natal day?
-
Listening to the soothing sounds of Walter Wanderley and his trio doing marvelous Bossa Nova tunes - I have the window open and a wonderful cool breeze is permeating the place and I'm quite relaxed and thinking I must have all of Mr. Wanderley's output now.
-
Will we never get to page eight?
-
Since it's on the final track of the CD, perhaps I'll turn on the television and see what's what.
-
The parental units are running late.
-
I'd actually like a list of who's coming to The Brain when - it would be helpful to know. Perhaps Vixmom got the two shows mixed up, and I do hope WFO will be attending all three of the hainsies/kimlets shows, just as I hope everyone here will be. I think most folks are coming to our closing performance on the 30th, is that right? But if anyone is coming to other performances, let me know that, too. Thanks.
-
Now the soothing sounds of Miss Astrud Gilberto are wafting from the laptop speakers.
-
Every time I look at Ye Olde Window and see the river and the boats I want to go take a boat ride somewhere.
-
As the ad goes, the only way to see New York is circle it on the Circle Line.
-
Or something like that.
-
And where is the page that calls itself EIGHT?
-
In boat language-Is page Eight on the horizon?
-
I will be attending the closing performance of each of the three shows.
Off to the train station to pick up out of town guests [from Wilmington, DE] who will be staying with us for the remainder of the holiday weekend.

Gee, slingblade, you are certainly generous to your guests! They get to stay one night and call it a weekend. Wow!
-
That's an In Inn for you
-
Is Eight enough?
-
How exciting it is to go to the NYMF website and see the cover of THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X CD come to life as an animated ad for the musical at the top of the page. At the same time, on the left side bar is an ad for SUCH GOOD FRIENDS. Then I go to the update for THE LAST STARFIGHTER and find out that Joseph Kolinski has joined the cast of the show as Centauri. I can't believe how excited I am getting about three productions that I will not get to see.
-
I will attempt the goal..eight where are you?
-
There you are little devil
-
I am home and have compiled a list of all the things I have to complete - I have also ordered my signed book ( along with four others ) and am now getting my second plane ticket. I will be there sept 20th through the 23rd, and then again the 28th through the 30th.
Still trying to schedule what shows I am seeing when. Boy is it nice to have internet again.
-
Safe travel vibes and happy stay to DR Tomovoz who's going to Queensland (Her Majesty will be pleased!) for 2 weeks!
-
Page huit! Dansons!
-
Note to DR Dingdong:
re: anything AW, check
http://cdconnection.com
for the "On The Boards" cd (THE best, imho!). Great price and their service is excellent! Fast and postage costs very low!
(I am NOT equiped to copy cds, otherwise, I'd willingly do that for you, my little chickadee!
-
Will we never get to page seven? You'd think it was Labor Day weekend or something.
We'll get there.
-
when do we get to page nine?
In just a moment.
-
Will we never get to page eight?
DR Arnold wants page nine and you want page eight. There's just no pleasing some people.

I have spent the entire Sunday afternoon watching episodes from the third season of THAT GIRL. It is a pleasant show, never hilarious or the soul of wit, but certainly sweet and mildly entertaining.
Unlike the breathtaking color and clarity of THE WILD WILD WEST, these films from the 1968-69 season look dated. Some are sharper than others, some are in better shape than others. But that richness of hue in THE WILD WILD WEST isn't to be found here.
-
I'd willingly do that for you, my little chickadee!
That is so very sweet of you, my darling! :-*
Thank you! :)
-
In the first eight episodes, one of them had a commentary with Marlo Thomas and one of the producers (Bill Persky possibly). They did very little talking; Marlo had no memory of even making the episode so she was intently watching and listening and said very little. Neither of them could even remember the name of the guest star Cesare Donova.
-
Gee, slingblade, you are certainly generous to your guests! They get to stay one night and call it a weekend. Wow!
;D
They're both church organists - so they had to work this morning. What we sacrifice for our art! :-\
-
There was also a 10-minute featurette when Marlo talked about the conception for the series, her debt to her father, and her pride in what they accomplished for five years. Again, a rather feeble attempt to add some bonus content to the set.
-
I had planned on bridging some of THAT GIRL with GREy"S ANATOMY's third season episodes, but I'm getting through these so quickly (even though they're 27 minutes as opposed to the 22 minutes today's half hour shows fill) that I should be able to get through the rest of disc two and maybe disc three today. That will leave a nice piece of tomorrow to start GREY'S.
-
Heading down now to put away my already folded laundry, clean the guest bathroom, and then it's back to see which girl? THAT GIRL!
WBBL.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR RON!
HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GRAND DAY!

What and where is this fershluganah dinner? Has anyone noticed I'm never invited to these things. elmore doesn't invite me to the Gilfrey and Jose dinner - I think I shall go eat some worms for dinner.
elmore didn't invite you because it literally happened at the last minute with a Gilfry phone call while DR Jose was returning to me a vocal score I had lent him.
-
I finally had to admit to myself this afternoon that the cortisone injection was not working. The surgeon had said anywhere between 24 and 72 hours it would start to offer some relief. It felt a little better on Thursday and Friday; or, at least, I told myself it did. But any relief I felt on Friday was completely gone by this morning. This afternoon, I went to get the cats some food, and I couldn't even use my left hand and arm to grab the seatbelt.
Well, I guess I will try some more physical therapy this week. I don't know what else to do.
-
DR Jane - Did you see Rachel Weisz in THE FOUNTAIN? Now that she's an Academy Award winning actress, she probably feels she can depart any film due to "creative differences." I'll miss her, but, she has done some truly fine work outside of THE MUMMY franchise.
I think I may have just watched the best dramatic film of the past year: ZODIAC. .
ZODIAC was already on our Netflix queue & I just added THE FOUNTAIN.
I remember when the first Mummy film came out there was a good amount of hype regarding Ms Weisz's talent & that she did the film for commercial exposure. I think she did truly fine work on the Mummy franchise :)
-
;D
They're both church organists - so they had to work this morning. What we sacrifice for our art! :-\
Our organist reported this morning that the lower keyboard on our organ wasn't working. Sigh.

I hope the doctor can find something else that will work.

I can understand why we haven't seen Ginny around today. She is either still helping her son move, or she is in mourning. It was her Michigan Blue that was the loser in the biggest upset in college football history wasn't it?

Et moi, aussi!
DR TCB, I am so sorry to hear this.

There was an amusing letter to the editor in this morning's newspaper. I hope it doesn't offend anyone.
Thanks to the latest Republican scandal, this one at the hands of Sen. Larry Craig, I now know more about foot-tapping than I could ever have imagined. Not that this new knowledge will do me any good; I generally take whatever measures I can to assure I won’t have to sit down in a public restroom. But what I found even more interesting is that, in this case anyway, the right may have been right.
Many right-wing mouthpieces recently bellowed that the main character of the movie “Happy Feet,” a misfit penguin who loved to tap dance, was merely a construction in support of the liberal Hollywood gay agenda. By giving an adorable cartoon character such obviously gay tendencies, the theory goes, our children were being groomed to feel compassion for homosexuals.
Many of us ridiculed these people, but perhaps we were wrong. After all, it now appears that they recognized in this penguin a gay penchant, unknown to most of us prior to Craig’s recent incident, to tap one’s foot.
The question to ask now is how is it that these pundits, so conservative and righteous, were also so attuned to foot-tapping as an indication of homosexuality? Thanks to Larry Craig, Mark Foley, Ted Haggard and so many other right-wing Republican “Christian” hypocrites, I think we now know the answer.

Is their a shortage of Jewish grand mothers in the area?
der Brucer
The ones I know make almond bread (similar to biscotti) not almond macaroons. My mother was the only one I knew who served almond paste delights at Passover. While she was a great cook she purchased these special delights at the Robertson Bakery.
Jose, thanks for the link. I will probably combine a couple of recipes & see what happens. I’m trying to decide if I should toast the almonds before grinding them. The cookies will be flourless. I had seen the almond macaroons with swiss meringue buttercream recipe at epicurious. It is one of the few which toasts the almonds.

I'm so very sorry the shot didn't work. Best of vibes something does.

;D ;D
Why make Almond Roca when I can go to See's & buy their Victorian Toffee.
-
Back from another long walk and dinner with a friend at John's Pizza. There was a big street fair (do they do it every Sunday?) on 46th between Broadway and Sixth and then all the way north on Sixth for heaven knows how long. Lots of food stands and way too many people. I visited Virgin, too.
John's, for all the raves, isn't the best pizza I've ever eaten. It's "thin" crust, which isn't my favorite, and while it's very tasty, I've had much better elsewhere. I must also say I will not be returning because I abhor any restaurant that won't seat you until your entire party is there - meanwhile every booth and table gets filled and by the time MY guest got there we were relegated to a tiny table near a staircase, which means I had to stare at people's shoes as they walked up and down.
Why a restaurant has a problem seating the person who IS there and then seating the person or persons who arrive subsequently is something I will never understand - it's just stupid. Instead of seating me at a table so I can relax and order a drink they make me wait - oh, I could sit at the bar (I don't do bar) or on a bench) - I must say, I almost left.
-
TCB did the surgeon say surgery is out no matter what?
-
On my way home I stopped at a proper market and brought some Diet Coke and for dessert something by Entenmann called Tubes.
-
;D ;D
Why make Almond Roca when I can go to See's & buy their Victorian Toffee.
Homemade Almond Roca is better than anything you can buy in a store - even See's.
-
I wanted to be on page eight AND nine which, of course, adds up to page seventeen.
Mr. Cason and Mr. BJ never showed up, despite Mr. Cason's showing some interest earlier in the day. Perhaps they are supping with Jose.
-
TCB did the surgeon say surgery is out no matter what?
No, but he doesn't want to see me back for 90 days. I could slit my wrists with a butter knife in 90 days!
-
I suggest calling him back & telling him so.
-
DR elmore, is that the same street fair we went to?
-
No, but he doesn't want to see me back for 90 days.
Then show him your front!
Surely there are other doctors you could see?
-
TCB-I’m tempted to take the recipe. It probably makes a lot of candy & I would only want to eat a little.
-
I expect the 90 day wait is to see if it will improve on it's own, which does happen sometimes.
TCB, have you a pain management doctor?
-
DR elmore, is that the same street fair we went to?
No. Street fair(s) happen all over the City and it every weekend takes a new location of around 20 blocks. I believe it's the same vendors every weekend.
-
DR George, I enjoyed the photos.
DR Singdaw, wonderful kitten story with the new great name.
Happy Birthday to DF of DR JFL!
-
TCB, have you a pain management doctor?
No, but I am considering heroin addiction.
-
DR elmore, then I can still picture the vendors & have a good idea of the street fair Bruce experienced & remember how much fun I had with you. :)
-
Then show him your front!
Surely there are other doctors you could see?
Yes, there are. However, he is supposed to be the best shoulder man in the Northwest... and he is so cute.
-
I was mightily tempted by the sausage, onion and peppers sandwiches - the smell was incredibly alluring.
-
There are specialist in the field of pain, maybe one of them is the next doctor you should see regarding your shoulder. There must be somethings besides pills and cortisone shots that might help.
-
Yes, there are. However, he is supposed to be the best shoulder man in the Northwest... and he is so cute.
And if he knows the shot didn't work he may want to see you sooner, or refer you to the pain specialist. Or he might say you shouldn't see a pain specialist or it will mess up his evaluation of how to treat this.
-
Whilst at Virgin, since I was already in the World section looking for more Walter Wanderley CDs (there were none at all), I just happened to check the France section and was more than delighted to find one of my all-time most wanted CDs, heretofore only available on LP - I've been waiting for two decades for a CD release and now I have one - a German import - it's Mirielle Matthieu singing Ennio Morricone - a stunningly beautiful piece of work.
-
I hope there's something on TV worth watching this evening.
-
Page ten - that's what I'M talkin' about.
-
Sixty Minutes is doing a story about a ship - is this what this show has come to? Such a boring piece.
-
elmore, aren't you going to the Jose soiree? I think he's seeing this kid called Eldar, no?
-

That is so strange. When you wrote "the France section," I immediately knew you were going to say Mirielle Matthieu!

It isn't working, sorry I couldn't do the dance.

SAFE AND EASY TRAVEL VIBES FOR DR Tomovoz!

Sunday evening greetings!
Happiest of birthdays to DR Ron Pulliam!
I can understand why we haven't seen Ginny around today. She is either still helping her son move, or she is in mourning. It was her Michigan Blue that was the loser in the biggest upset in college football history wasn't it?
A lot of the former, DR TCB, and quite a bit of the latter. I told them at the end of the season 2 years ago that the defensive coordinator should be fired, but did they listen? No-o-o-o-o, and now David was allowed to score 'way too many points against Goliath. And we all know how that story turned out! On the bright side, now I'm not nearly so angry at our cable provider for not carrying the Big Ten Network. At least I wasn't watching it.

DS Rob is now more or less moved into his studio apartment. DH Richard and I are very tired, because it's up 2 very steep and narrow stairways. Fortunately, none of his furniture is very big or heavy and we had lots of good help from his girlfriend and her parents (who are a lot younger than we are). We left Rob at the house she's sharing with 3 or 4 other girls to help them with some big jobs.

Hi Ginny, sounds like a fun day with DS Rob, even if you worked hard.

NYMF - 2008 Bound to be a hit!
Blonde Ambition - The Musical.
NY DAILY NEWS (http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2007/09/02/2007-09-02_anna_nicole_smith_book_claims_birkhead__-3.html)

Anna Nicole Smith book claims Birkhead & Stern were lovers; cut deal on baby, estate
An explosive tell-all book about Anna Nicole Smith's sad demise alleges the two men who battled for custody of her baby girl and control of her fortune were gay lovers.
The bombshell allegations about the steamy relationship between the former Playboy Playmate's longtime companion Howard K. Stern and her baby's biological father, Larry Birkhead, come to light in "Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death."
Sordid passages in the soon-to-be released book by former MSNBC journalist Rita Cosby describe how Anna Nicole and her friend allegedly caught Stern and Birkhead with their shirts off and their pants around their ankles in a Los Angeles home.
Jackie Hatten, described in the book as one of Anna Nicole's closest friends, said the men were engaged in oral sex.
"Their bodies were intermingled," Hatten says, according to a copy of the book obtained by the Daily News. "It was obvious what was happening."
...
"None of it is true," Birkhead told The News. "I'm gonna sue Rita Cosby for it."
…
Stern's lawyer, Lin Wood, called the book's content "false and defamatory." Wood said Cosby "has taken the coverage to a disgusting new low for which she will be held legally accountable."
…
The 244-page book reads like a whodunit novel with cliffhanger chapters, plot twists and tales of deception by those closest to Anna Nicole.
The former stripper knew both Birkhead and Stern were gay, the book alleges. But Smith, who was obsessed with Marilyn Monroe, chose Birkhead as her lover because she wanted a blond, blue-eyed baby, according to Cosby.
The tell-all claims Anna Nicole would spread out on her bed and watch a video allegedly showing Birkhead and Stern having oral sex "over and over" while Stern worked on his computer in their Bahamas home. The existence of the video was confirmed by a source yesterday.
Stern is portrayed in Cosby's book as a jealous, money-grabbing control freak who manipulates the erratic blond beauty's celebrity status for his own financial gain.
…
His alleged "goodie bag" of meds - including Vicodin, Valium, morphine and Demerol - were never far from reach.
"He was the pharmacist and [the bag] was the drugstore," Anna Nicole's ex-boyfriend Ben Thompson told Cosby.
In Anna Nicole's final days, the buxom blond was holed up in Room 607 at the Hard Rock Hotel in Florida, with a raging 105-degree fever, the book says.
…
As Anna Nicole's life slowly ebbed away, Stern allegedly abandoned her to keep an appointment with a boat broker. The book describes him as cold and nonchalant when told of Anna Nicole's death - a far cry from the picture of a doting lover he painted in interviews.
As doctors rushed Anna Nicole to a hospital in a futile bid to save her life, Stern allegedly was already on the phone to media contacts lining up lucrative exclusive interviews.
"Howard was ready to make his next deal," an eyewitness says in the book. "It showed us that to Howard it was all about money."
…
His image as the "aw shucks nice guy" was a carefully crafted ploy to manipulate the media, Birkhead's former lawyer Debra Opri told Cosby. Opri is suing Birkhead for failing to pay her legal fees.
DR MISS KAREN would be perfect as Debra Opri!

I must also say I will not be returning because I abhor any restaurant that won't seat you until your entire party is there - meanwhile every booth and table gets filled and by the time MY guest got there we were relegated to a tiny table near a staircase, which means I had to stare at people's shoes as they walked up and down.
Why a restaurant has a problem seating the person who IS there and then seating the person or persons who arrive subsequently is something I will never understand - it's just stupid. Instead of seating me at a table so I can relax and order a drink they make me wait - oh, I could sit at the bar (I don't do bar) or on a bench) - I must say, I almost left.
Sorry, BK, that is a pretty standard practice for many restaurants - particularly those that tend to be busy. The management can't (chooses not to) afford for you to take up table space while you wait for your party to be complete. The success of their business plan relies on table turnover.

I dozed off for about fifteen minutes. Haven't found anything worth watching yet.
As to that restaurant practice, while I used to run into it occasionally, I haven't for years, and I still think it's stupid. I'm coming to dine and my party will follow shortly, so what's the difference whether they seat me? It makes no sense to me on any level. So, someone who gets there AFTER me gets seated BEFORE me just because they arrive together and one of them isn't off parking or something? Uh uh. The result? John's Pizza can do without my business, and let me tell you, they will find out that I'm not the only one who won't put up with it a second time. I've watched it happen and suddenly, six months later, the restaurant is magically seating people when they arrive, whether their party is complete or not.

I'm very much looking forward to meeting WFO, Vixmom, but Such Good Friends doesn't have an 8 PM show on the 30th. :'(

It does if your popularity can sustain an occasional hit in order to keep table turn-over high. The entire time you occupy the table waiting for your friend is lost revenue to the business.

I'd actually like a list of who's coming to The Brain when - it would be helpful to know. Perhaps Vixmom got the two shows mixed up, and I do hope WFO will be attending all three of the hainsies/kimlets shows, just as I hope everyone here will be. I think most folks are coming to our closing performance on the 30th, is that right? But if anyone is coming to other performances, let me know that, too. Thanks.
I did get them mixed up... well not the shows, the times.... The Vixter & I will be attending the 9/29 matinee of The Last Starfighter and the 4:30 Such Good Friends and 8:00 PM The Brain From Planet X on 9/30. To the best of my knowledge WFO and his Joe will be attenmding all three of those shows with us

The fact that I spent most of the night reading has finally hit me. I’m suddenly very sleepy. I completed the last 200 plus pages of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. I’m glad I read straight through & enjoyed this last part more than the first 500 pages. I rarely enjoy a book as much when it takes a long time to read, or it takes a long time to read cuz I haven’t been enjoying the book.
DR Jason, or any other DR Readers of this book, what did you think of the book?

Yes, there are. However, he is supposed to be the best shoulder man in the Northwest... and he is so cute.
I say call and make an appointment for this week. Just explain that it is still painful and I am sure he will come up with another plan. If he does not know that plan A is not working then he will have know idea to go with plan B, or C, or X...whatever it takes!

Bollywood movie # 2 was the highly recommended VICTORIA # 203 (1972) a very funny caper film about stolen diamonds that are hidden in a cart named Victoria # 203.
The film is so popular it's remake is currently in the works. If it is half as entertaining as the original then it will be worth seeing.

A Woman's Poem

He didn't like the casserole
And he didn't like my cake,
He said my biscuits were too hard
Not like his mother used to make.
I didn't perk the coffee right
He didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.
I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Then I turned around and
smacked the shit out of him...
Like his mother used to do.

-
LOL! I can't believe I looked at that photo and thougth the grout needs some work...
Is that a euphemism, DR Cillaliz?
-
We need to get to Page 14 to get rid of this CINERAMA
-
Of course going without food for 5 days Freddy insisted his ribs were sticking out, and here he (tries) to show them for the camera.

Did my pictures cause us to go widescreen? Everything looks normal from my view on AOL.

Yesterday was spent at my sister Sue's home in Aumsville as she had my grand niece and nephew Taylor and Benjamin for the weekend. Sue had asked me to keep an eye out for Barbie dolls and clothes for Taylor at garage sales...well, I certainly did that and her is Taylor enjoying the boon!

I felt this had a nice sentiment for a Sunday evening.
A Woman's Poem
[/size] [/b] [/u]
He didn't like the casserole
And he didn't like my cake,
He said my biscuits were too hard
Not like his mother used to make.
I didn't perk the coffee right
He didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.
I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Then I turned around and
smacked the shit out of him...
Like his mother used to do.
:-*
Oh you do make me laugh!! I wish I could make your pain go away!!!

So do I, Vixmom!

Is that a euphemism, DR Cillaliz?
No, LOL, the grout along the tub looks really black, like it may have mold and need to be cleaned. I have home repair on my brain

Mikey, you haven't been gathering mushrooms in your backyard again, have you?
-
LOL! I can't believe I looked at that photo and thought the grout needs some work...
;D
-
Now Cillaliz put us back in CINERAMA on Page 14!
I got rid of the large photo, did that help? It looks fine on my screen
-
No widescreen here either TCB.... maybe your pain meds.......?????????
-
Glad Freddy looks so happy to be home. I think dog Bosco is secretly happy he's there.
-
I was intrigued..... so
-
No widescreen here either TCB.... maybe your pain meds.......?????????
I don't know. I just asked John Lennon and he thought it looked widescreen too.
-
Where are you getting those simpson cartoons?
-
Or a gossip columnist!
Miss Karen could invent the gossip. Well, embroider anyway. Isn't that what they do?
-
Seriously, no one else thinks it is in widescreen?
Okay, go to the top of page 14, look at it, and then click down to twelve and then again to Page 8. You don't see any difference?
-
Well, I feel better. I had the guy across the hall come in and look at Page 8, Page 12 ,and then Page 14. He says 14 is much wider.
So, I guess there is something wrong with my computer. At least, it isn't my head.
-
I can't simpsonize, I don't have the right sort of photo in this computer. I'll try it later
-
Of course, the guy across the hall already thinks I'm a fruit loop, so maybe he was humoring me.
-
We all need to be humored from time to time :)

Congrats to DR MS on 5000+ posts and his new SIMPSON avatar.

It does if your popularity can sustain an occasional hit in order to keep table turn-over high. The entire time you occupy the table waiting for your friend is lost revenue to the business.

Der B, I think your comments accurately reflect the attitude of much of restaurant management. But, like BK, I'm afraid I personally have been subjected to far too much rude "this is the way we do business" customer-service-is-lost behavior over the years to have much tolerance left. When I dine I don't want to feel rushed; I want to enjoy my meal. A business--any business--can tally sales, but it's next to impossible to quantify how much business is lost due to poor customer service. some businesses spend a great deal of money in advertising to attract customers, yet one employee with an attitude can chase even a long-standing customer away.
End of rant. Sorry. Poor customer service happens to be one of my pet peeves. I'll stop.

Lovely photos from DR MBARNUM....I am strangely intrigued by the hair on the Barbie and Ken dolls.....

I prefer it when this Angel says, "Hi."

THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!!
Mucho thanks, DR td.

Will we never get to page thirteen?
No doubt about it.
-
I'm quite tired now, so I think I'll post the notes in fifteen minutes and hit the hay (yah, spelled backwards).

I bought cute little baby bottles of Diet Coke.

Although I did watch a couple of other things tonight, I spent most of the evening again with Marlo Thomas as THAT GIRL.
Amazing the number of character actors who pass through these shows over the course of a season. Just off the top of my head there have been Stuart Margolin, Jesse White, Dick Wesson, Jules Munchin, Larry Storch, Bernie Kopell, Penny Marshall (for about two seconds), Hope Summers, Benay Venuta, Vic Tayback, and so many more. It's one of the real pleasure watching a forty year old show to see these people, some of whom hadn't hit it big yet, and some of whom had already had their biggest moments of glory behind them.
-
LOL! I can't believe I looked at that photo and thought the grout needs some work...
LOL. Oh, yeah. You've been a homeowner too long.

After I finished disc two, I put on TORCH SONG since our TOD a day or two ago was camp movies. I haven't seen it in awhile, and it's just and gloriously bad as always. Sure would love to see a decent DVD transfer of this Technicolor movie. And after all the years I've watched this, it just dawned on me that Gene, the dance director of Crawford's show, is Eugene Loring.
-
I also watched ENTOURAGE's season finale tonight off HBO-HD. Not especially funny this week, but a nice way to end the season. A good cliffhanger, some love for Johnny for a change. Looking forward to see where they go with the story next season.

Today Mae-Ling got to light the candles for the first time, a job she took VERY seriously.

Hmmm should this be my new avatar?

TCB, sorry to hear you're still in pain. I had severe pain for two years, tried all sorts of things, but not much helped. The things that DID help me were: osteopathic treatment (from an osteopath, not an orthopedist), acupuncture, and diet/nutrition/supplement recommendations from PAIN-FREE IN SIX WEEKS by Sherry Rogers, MD. Dr Rogers had a lot of pain problems herself and explored many, many approaches. The book is usually available from Amazon and these approaches could be used in conjunction with other treatment or for relief until you find something better. I learned that my injuries were being aggravated by my allergies, among other things. Don't mean to suggest that this is the case for you, just that sometimes the cause can surprise you. And NONE of the doctors caught it. There IS hope. Don't give up.

Now which one is the real Vixter?

or this?
