And the word of the day is: ANTITUSSIVE!
DR td, I should have RATATOUILLE in hand on Monday, and I'm looking forward to it. I'm also getting that DVD of Pixar short subjects which is also to be released on November 6.
And the word of the day is: ANTITUSSIVE!Ol' Unc Tussive hated driving on toll roads - it took what seemed like forever for AUNTIE TUSSIVE to cough up the change so they could get on with their travelin'.
...CITIZEN KANE, of course, should go without saying.But that would have made it a silent film!
Fresman year in college:the Kimball cinemauditorium showed 'art' films on Wedneday; Over the course of the year, I remember seeing Seventh Seal, Virgin Spring, 81/2,La Dolce Vita, the extraordinary L'Aventurra, Agnes Varda's(I think) Le Bonheur,The Shop on Main Street and of course Bonnie and Clyde was at the 'regular' theater; Prior to this I had only seen USA and UK films.The Man from Rio I saw in a dubbed print and of course Hercules Unchained was also dubbed. But that fresman 'course was an eye opener-I've avoided seeing L'Aventurra a second time, because I'm afraid it won't live up to my memory of it(Ditto Sansho the Bailiff)
I know what will eventually happen – if my plan works out
Last night, on the recommendation of my Sam Morgan's boss, I watched TRANSFORMERS.
Color me humbled.
Skip will be seeing BAKER'S WIFE this afternoon.
Anyone from here going today?
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And, yes, I'm back from the gym... And, man, oh man, did I have a good workout this morning!
WHEW!

How do the roos react to Summer Climate?
Summer aint that Bad. Just think of us about to turn the clocks back. What a nuisance !!!

THE BALLET ROOS - isn't that one of the things Cathy adores, along with a minuet and crepe suzette?
and it is now "Summer Time" here. My body clock has yet to adjust.
The US (except for the primitives in Arizona) delay the fall back until next week - (except, of course for those folks who coped with the earlier change in the spring by manually fiddling with their computer clocks, (instead of upgrading their software, and will now be confronted with a computer system clock that resets a week early!).

At least the Kimmelettes who attend the fundraiser will get an extra hour of post-show alcoholic revelry.

... she has a PhD and uses "Doctor" before her name in all conversation...
...but she knows nothing about right notes, wrong notes...
I wanted to retort with "you may be a scholar but you sure ain't no musician," but I behaved.
I'm so glad. I would have been appalled if you had used a sentence like that!
Now "You may be a scholar, but you sure aren't any f*cking musician.!" would be OK.

And i was sort of amazed that melinda would go into that tunnel alone, especially without telling anyone.
I love the insecurity of many people with Phds. They are still not wise enough to distinguish between knowledge and wisdom. The knowledge they have is often limited too!. That they expect to be addressed as "Doctor" is their need for recognition. They have fallen into the sad trap of becoming their qualification at the cost of their real "self".
It really is an extension of becoming our occupation instead of ourselves.

Last week Adam went with me to see Callie's x-rays at the old vet. When I talked to him about it last night, he wasn't surprised at all and said he could easily see that the vet was more interested in making money off of the procedure than actually healing Callie. I hope that isn't true, but was quite surprised that was his initial impression.
You can say that again! Because of that stupid system, I get to work 13 hours in a row tonight!
Yes, I know you all sympathise with that and I'm quite grateful for it! :-\ :)
But then, I make so much money that you'd be disgusted if you knew!! :P
Tomovoz, we found out that our "Doctor" had a degree from a diploma mill.
I also find it amusing (and sad) that some ex Forces people think they should be called, General, Major. Captain or whatever in civilian life.
u mean the employee that left recently?
Yup.
Yup.
Titles - different culture I guess. I just see anyone in the forces or in the goverment at whatever level as
"workers" just like the rest of us. They have just chosen different occupations. Their titles belong to the work place as it is part of that culture.
:o at least said person is gone. are u having any luck finding a replacement?
my brother never uses his doctor title when introducing himself.
It must be the Matterhorn in the back, Captain?! ::) ;)
A very nice fall afternoon in NYC. :)
I had a lovely dinner with the currently errant and truant DR Jason earlier. He's doing well, and, yes, he's currently busy(!). .. -He has 11 costume changes in a 60 minute show!Was his ability to get out of his trousers with speed a factor in his casting :)
Use this all-in-one tool to scoop and spread peanut butter and jelly. Eliminates the risk of peanut butter and jelly mixing in jars. Silicone ends allow for easy spreading. Can also be used for butter, cream cheese, mayonnaise and mustard.
my colleagues thought he was a little "weird" and they had NO reaction at all when they learnt the news! THAT was weird to me!
i like that jose. i have tried using both sides of one knife, but it just isn't the same. that would come in handy for when i eat peanut butter out of the jar, one knife scoop usually isn't enough. i'll keep an eye out for one.
lol-yhat won't be a problem with me since both ends will ends will be used as an eating utensil & it will go immediately into the sink to be washed.
And only $8.00 to boot!

Gotta have some of those for stocking stuffers for Christmas. The Cuisipro website says I can get them at Sur-la-Table in Cincinnati.
Edi, last night you were talking about what to do for the parent's 60th Anniversary. You talked about the Atlanta tour, but decided Mom would not be up for it. Why not film all those places that you would have driven them, EDIT it, put on a bit of commentary by the two of you, and use the music of 1947 as the background music. Then they could watch the DVD anytime they wanted.
I decided to throw out foodstuffs that have long ago become no good - it was an amazingly big bag o' stuff - juice from 2005, soup from 2004 - blechhh. Now everything is all nice and neat.

I am now going to attempt to install printer software and try to start using my new printer.First you peel an onion.
First job, printing out CD labels for the 1947 compilation CD.

Watching the interesting and long 1993 documentary on Breathless.
When DH Richard was working on his doctorate, we attended some academic dinner function and shared a table with many of his classmates. The females treated me like his "little wifey" and were oh-so-arrogant. At the time, I had a librarian job at the same university that carried an academic rank. So, when it came time to introduce guests, Richard really laid it on thick, introducing me as Director of the Middletown Campus Library and associate professor, a rank that would take his classmates years to attain through the promotion and tenure process, assuming they found full-time professorships at all.
I did always want to get my own Ph.D., so that when someone on the phone asked for Dr. Palmer, I could ask if they meant Mr. Dr. Palmer or Mrs. Dr. Palmer. However, having seen too many doctorates left unfinished, I decided that I'd rather never start, than start and not finish.

Will we never get to page eight?
After dinner, I headed up to Columbus Circle to check things out in Williams-Sonoma. I needed a new vegetable brush. And while looking through their bins of gadgets, I came across something that was just too "silly" not to buy...
(http://cuisipro.com/site_2006/IMAGES/PC_H/Peanut_detail.jpg)
I don't need that gadget. I don't know if anyone has what we have in Florida but we have a product that has a squeeze bottle that dispenses the Strawberry Jam(Smuckers) . So you spread the Peanut Butter and Squeeze the Jam.So simple and so nice and efficient.

Although, sometimes it is worth splurging on their Imperial Special Reserve Persicus. That 1000g container is just a mere $13960.00.

I finally saw the last installment in the HARRY POTTER film series, and they just keep getting better and better.
Also, those DRs who were inclined to hear the Raquel Welch/James Ivory WILD PARTY anecdotes, you may find them - including Mr. Ivory's apology - on the second disc of the dvd of HOWARDS END, it's in the documentary detailing 30 years of Merchant & Ivory films.
Now I can put the printer in the closet
Umm.. You mean you don't buy the 1000g tins from Petrossian? Come on! They only run about $7500. And they ship overnight via FedEx.

Ah, so that's what he was talking about. Thanks, td!You're welcome.

And I just received a wonderful call from Baayork Lee. They finally have a date set for Thommie Walsh's memorial service, November 16, and she's asked me to come on board as part of the musical staff for the event. Needless to say, I feel quite honored to have been asked to be a part of this especially since I never worked with Thommie. Tommy Tune will be putting it together, and we'll be meeting tomorrow to start brainstorming and getting some sort of plan in place. Color me humbled.

I'll be able to mail them out Monday or Tuesday (depending on when I can get to the post office. :)
but it's not available on VHS or DVD (at least, according to Amazon.com).

Spoo! It was Netflix that I searched, not Amazon. My bad. ;) Thanks for posting this. :)
I had fun with several friends who were there - Robert Kimball and his lovely wife, Bruce Pomahac of Rodgers & Hammerstein....
