Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a Sunday vibe, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - Sunday is their day of rest and they simply won't consider coming home.
-
And the word of the day is: IRREDENTIST!
-
And now to bed.
-
Yesterday, I went to see a reading of FJL and Skip Kennon's musical, The Last Starfighter in Issaquah, Washington. TCB was supposed to come with me, but he wasn't able. :(
-
But let me say that it was great! The cast was very good. I don't remember very much about the original reading that was done there two years ago, so I can't really compare. But I thoroughly enjoyed this. :D
-
And DR Julie was there! I don't think she was just visiting. I got the impression that she was actually involved in the production, but I forgot to ask. :-\
-
Here's her avatar...look familiar? ;)
(http://www.haineshisway.com/community/YaBBImages/avatars/Julie.jpg)
-
Julie's a very nice person and we chatted for a few minutes after the show. After that, Julie, Skip, Fred, the director David, the stage manager Sarah and I all went to a local Mexican restaurant and shared a couple of plates of nachos. They were not too bad and the conversation was mostly about the show, so I just tried to listen (the music was quite loud). We said our goodbyes and I drove home. :)
-
And now, I'm going to bed. Good night, guests. 8)

I thought I would post some screen caps from Sondheim/Goldman Evening Primrose

It has been raining here a lot as the start of the hurricane season is about a week away. The rain was needed. We were hitting record highs. It was hitting as high as 101 degrees!

Great shots, DR Michael S.! :)

Thanks for the report, DR George! Sounds like a lot of fun. :)
I am so sorry that DR TCB was not with you. :(

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWEST COSTCO MEMBER![/size]
[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%](http://www.e-pix.org/data/media/71/costco.gif)[/move]

Now, time to go get ready for church.
-
I love Costco. I always go on Saturdays. Sometimes it is busy. But usually it's okay.
I will say this though. Not everything is cheaper there. For instance i find fruit and meat to be more expensive.
They sometimes have great scrapbooking stuff there though!
And here they sell a jumbo hotdog (in bun) and big drink) for $1.99. It is my niece's favorite restaurant!
-
I don't think there is anything on tv for me tonight.
My niece called at 7:30am to ask me if i wanted to go to the park with her. We're going to have a picnic.
She is too little to go up on the contraptions for sliding herself (there is a crazy bridge). But i can climb up with her. ANd most of the slides have 2 slides side by side. And she thinks it is funny if we slide at the same time side by side. Luckily my butt can fit on them (last time i find my butt was too big for the swings and was horrified!).
I also want to go to Harveys. It is free hamburger day. I am gonna go at 10:30am cause i don't want it to be a zoo!
-
I had watched MARRIAGE ON THE ROCKS earlier this week, and I agree with bk's assessment.
Last night I showed the dvd to Mum, who enjoyed it tremendously.
Of course, both Mum and I laughed at several gags which I will assume bk didn't laugh at: since Mum's maiden name was McPherson, and we have Jean McPherson in our family, we found the McPherson bits to be droll on a personal level.
-
Good morning, all! Yesterday was a lovely and quiet day: I stayed at Randy's and worked on the vocal book for The Brain. I did see during the day three of Jo and Randy's children: my niece Allison is in town to help her brother Cory get his new house ready for the move into it, my wonderful nephew Matt came by to help Randy with an errand, and then my niece-by-marriage Corby came by to pick up my great-nephew Jayden whom Jo was babysitting.
It was a lazy afternoon, and I napped from 4-5, worked sopme more on The Brain and went to bed around 10 pm.
Today, my cousin Sue Ellen and I go out to visit my mother's only living sibling Bob, and I'll probably go directly from there to dinner at the home of DR Ginny and DH Richard. This morning, I'll continue the Brain surgery.
DR TCB, I am so sorry you missed the reading last night, but it sounds as if DR George had a good time.
BK, your stories of problems in the home environment only increase my desire to never be a landlord.
-
DRJOSE that link was very sad to read....about the young actor being killed in London.....
DR TCB - feel better vibes.
Great to hear the LAST STARFIGHTER report.....we need even MORE info as it becomes available.....audience reaction, audience size, audience attire.

A new General Mills and a put in Farmer.....BRAINEX justs keeps rolling along.

It is DAY TWO of project House Outdoor Re-Do.
Finishing the painting and doing the landscaping, and hopefully hauling off the excess trash and trees and bushes that have been discarded. Whew.....but it does look nice. I will take some pictures when the project is finished.
By the middle of summer all of our new flowers and plants should look very nice.
Of course we nothing but mules in horse harness, but we do think we look nice.
-
DR MBARNUM, I hope you know that Madge Blake and her husband both had top secret military clearance and worked on the Manhattan Project during WWII - the big one.
-
Missed the TOD yesterday: John McGiver
-
Sunday morning greetings! I've been excused from church to get ready for our dinner and overnight company. DR Elmore will be here for dinner and DS Rob and his girlfriend will be here for dinner, overnight, and tomorrow's cookout at our niece's. Of course, DR Elmore is welcome to stay overnight, too, but (thankfully for him) that seems not to be necessary on his family front.
It is another gloriously beautiful day here in SW Ohio.
-
Good morning!
Another cool morning but it's not likely to remain so. Today and tomorrow are going to be warm - mid 80s. Ugh!
-
I did get out and mowed my back yard this morning before it got too warm. Glad to have that over with for awhile.
-
TV Reminder:
THE TUDORS
-
The rain has cleared out, the skies are blue, and it looks like it will be a lovely day here. I just hope it doesn't get super hot again quite yet.
-
Today I'll likely spend most of my time with THE RECRUIT on Blu-ray.
However, I will watch the remainder of THE FUGITIVE episode I started last night and probably do another one while I cook and eat lunch.

I have never been to a Wal-Mart. Before yesterday, I had never been to a Costco. I have been to a Target once.
-
I see it's going to be another of those days of errant and truant behavior.
-
For some reason, I thought The Last Starfighter director was different for this incarnation, but if memory serves, David was the name of the director of the reading in NY, when I did it.
-
And I know they cut Otis's (my) nice ballad for the reading.
-
I suppose I'll shower now.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And the sun is back out in New York City! :)
-
DR elmore - It sounds like you're having a wonderful time back home. You deserve/d it. Have a wonderful time tonight at Ginny and Richard's.
-
~~~~~CONTINUED MRSA-BE-GONE VIBES TO DR TCB~~~~~
-
DR George - Thanks for the Starfighter reports. And I'm glad you got to meet DR Julie too!
-
As for myself... I don't believe I shall be doing any cleaning around my apartment-stead today. I know I probably should take care of some putting away of things and organizing, but... It's a holiday weekend, so.... ;)
-
And, Yes. Wal-Mart's are open on Sundays.
-
My parents belong to Costco, which comes in handy whenever they need to stock for a weekend visit from the kids and grandkids. And when my Dad was still cooking in the Secretary's Mess (for the DOT and HHS), he would usually shop at Costco since they would sometimes have better prices and deals then they base Commissary.
When I lived in Richmond, I was piggy-backed on to Steve's Sam's Club membership - which is the warehouse store for Wal-Mart. It always came in handy for socks and underwear and electronics. And nuts and chocolate for baking, as well as some pretty decent wine selections.
-
And the word of the day is: IRREDENTIST!
The guy who gets rid of the cavities in your teeth by using a water pick instead of the usual drill.
-
In any case...
I'm supposed to meet a friend down in Tribeca for a late brunch, so I should get ready to head out. Then another friend from Richmond is in town today to catch a matinee, and, hopefully, we'll be able to meet up afterwards for dinner. Food and Friends - a nice way to spend a Sunday. :)
Laters...
-
Are Wal-marts generally open on Sunday?
I'm having trouble remembering whether WalMart even closes on Christmas.

BK - re your CostCo adventure
Remember, it wasn't just a Saturday (which is prime shopping time for many families), it was also the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend. The stores have all been packed with shoppers, and will be all three days (four if you count Friday).
At SuperGiant, we've had all fourteen registers running full tilt. I had one crew of four shoppers at my register yesterday with four shopping carts filled to overflowing, all one order. And this was their second trip! (Of course, they were shopping for a vacationing group of thirty, all down from NYC and upstate, but that's a lot of shoppng!)
It's a good thing I enjoy my work, or this could get overwhelming.
Anyway, since you're not tied to "normal" working hours, and thus not tied to shopping on weekends, you'll probably enjoy the Costco experience more during the weekdays from now on. Smile and say a friendly "Hello" to the staff there when you drop by - trust me, they'll appreciate the friendly face.
-
But do you have an answer? Without an answer, you will have an incomplete tome.
An Incomplete Tome - that's the title of my first novel.
The Tome of the Incomplete Writer.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And the sun is back out in New York City! :)
There are fewer things less happy than a closeted sun.
-
I shall now be on my way to a put-in rehearsal and then the matinee performance and then supper with the Wechters.
-
DR SWW - thanks for the warning about how crowded the stores are this weekend. I'm on my way to Kroger and consider myself suitable prepared.
-
Doing some exciting filing today
-
We shop a few times a year at Sam's Club (but I'm thinking about changing to Costco). I like to buy things like laundry supplies, bath soap, and paper goods in the quantity you can get there so we don't run out often. DR Jose - I also like the pecan halves and Ghirardelli chocolate chips for cooking!
-
Back from church.

Quote from JoseSPiano yesterday:

Will you be seeing your doctor this week to check on the progress of the MRSA infection? Or at least to get some stronger drugs. ;)

Walmart is indeed open on Sunday...in fact at least one of the three Walmarts here in Salem is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
I like that in a store.
-
Shortly I will be gathering my mom to take her grocery shopping at Fred Meyers...the to take her computer to Best Buy...afterwards I will return to my dwelling and have a day of cleaning...it is so dusty in here that I can barely breath :(
-
Earlier today it went to an estate sale...it was the second day...everything was 1/2 off!
I like that in an estate sale!
When it opened, at 9am, there were exactly 8 of us customers in line to get in....and the estate sale people still decided to have us sign in on the sign up sheet! ::)
And they called out our names to enter the sale, one at a time.
-

Hi everyone, it is a glorious day in new york.
-
This morning I went to the park with my roommate and her visiting future sister-in-law.
-
She is visiting us from Korea by way of Salt Lake City, where she is completing a teaching internship. We've been having fun shopping, eating and drinking our way through the city.
-
Last night we went to karaoke. Tonight we're going out for a Korean feast after I get home from rehearsal.
-
And now I must take leave so that I can attend said rehearsal. Today we are learning the havana dance- I am the featured dancer. I'm excited about having a solo dance, but even more excited about getting to fight onstage.
-
And on that note, I'm off. Toodles everyone!
-
DR TPunk - when are the Guys & Dolls performances?
-
I finished watching THE FUGITIVE episode I had started last night, the one with Leslie Nielsen. Some nice surprising twists in the story.
THE FUGITIVE really was one of the best drama series ever.

KOB-TV (http://kob.com/article/stories/S451152.shtml?cat=517)
Group wants Wi-Fi banned from public buildings
By: Gadi Schwartz KOB-TV, and Joshua Panas KOB.com
A group in Santa Fe says the city is discriminating against them because they say that they're allergic to the wireless Internet signal. And now they want Wi-Fi banned from public buildings.
Arthur Firstenberg says he is highly sensitive to certain types of electric fields, including wireless Internet and cell phones.
"I get chest pain and it doesn't go away right away," he said.
Firstenberg and dozens of other electro-sensitive people in Santa Fe claim that putting up Wi-Fi in public places is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Silly goose! Everbody knows you can wear an aluminum hat to protect yourself from WiFi probing.
der Brucer
PS Good luck escaping the cell-phone rays
-
I started another FUGITIVE episode. This one guest stars Arthur O'Connell, another great character actor.
I'll finish it when I go back downstairs.
-
Next I watched THE RECRUIT. It's an OK film. Starts out well with some smart surprise doublecrosses to jerk the audience out of its complacence. But as it runs on, it goes a little off kilter and garbled. Yes, it rights itself at the end but there are plot holes once one thinks about to what has gone before.
Directed by Roger Donaldson who knows something about surprising an audience from films like NO WAY OUT.
-
Oops, must have just missed DR TPunk! I'm signing off now until after our sparkling visit with DR Elmore - bye for now!
-
I had time to watch the bonus features, too. 4 deleted scenes, one of which was another surprise doublecross sequence (I guess they figured they had enough of them in the first half of the movie).
There was a nice 16 minute feature on "The Farm," the CIA training academy. Of course, all of that is top secret so they had to illustrate with clips from the film, so we don't really get to see what the real places are like. Still, interesting.
-
And I listened to about 20 minutes of the commentary. Colin Farrell just naturally talks with expletives, so lots of bleeping during the commentary. I'll listen to more when I go back down. The director and Farrell seem to have a great camaraderie.
-
But I'm going to have a nice evening to myself for viewing. I will try to finish THE FUGITIVE disc 2 (of 4). Otherwise, I may watch THE TUDORS or save it and watch something else for fun tonight.
-
I have never been to a Wal-Mart. Before yesterday, I had never been to a Costco. I have been to a Target once.
You really don't know what you're missing.... I haven't beent o a Costco, we don't have them here, but I'm assuming they are something like a Sam's Club. I like Target better than Wal-Mart

Well, according to the forecasts we were supposed to be having thunderstorms about right now. So this morning I got gas for the mower and literally nearly gave myself heat stroke doing the yard. Of course after I got done and finally cooled down the humidity went down by 20%! Now it's sunny with a breeze and less humidity.
Think I'll go find some geraniums and other flowers to plant.

You're very welcome, DR Brian. -When exactly are you heading into NYC again?
-
The light in Wal-Mart drives me up the wall sometimes and gives me a headache. Yes, some of the prices at Target may be slightly higher, but I tend to have a more pleasant shopping experience at Target too. -And I love checking out all the endcaps for the Clearance Sale items!
*I also still remember shopping at a Super Wal-Mart and watching a check out person not wipe down the conveyor belt after a shopper had placed a leaking carton of milk and three family packs of chicken pieces on it. -And just watching that wet-streak go round and round... :-\ -Not that that could not happen at other stores, but there was just no effort or apparent interest to clean it up.

No, I honestly wouldn't do that, although I wouldn't say he's a tough guy either. It is what happened, though ;)

I like Walmart and Target...Target does have some nifty home decor items, and like DR Jose, it is fun to check out the back end close-out end caps :D
I maybe be going to Walmart in just a few as my cleaning and sorting is requiring that I buy some plastic containers.
-
Among the many things I uncovered while cleaning of the clutter that has piled up are:
1 and 2 years old shopping lists
Christmas cards from the late Cal Bolder and his wife.
Business cards gotten on various trips to Los Angeles
Photos of Dog Bosco
And lots of paperclips.

I have not even showered yet today...I may need to remedy that before I go to Walmart.

Well, I think I am going to head out for a bit, go forage for some dinner, and work in another walk too.

Time to get dinner moving towards the table.
One of the latest deliveries from Jessica's Biscuit (http://www.ecookbooks.com/) (a freebie, in fact) is James McNair's Build a Better Burger, featuring recipes from the annual Sutter Home "Build a Better Burger" contest. It's inspired me to take some sweet Italian sausage and try making burgers that aren't the traditional moo-cow stuff.
The results should be different, at least.

Jose, the way you did that quote, it looks like I'm saying that I went there. I have never done Oakland. (Their loss.)

But let me say that it was great! The cast was very good. I don't remember very much about the original reading that was done there two years ago, so I can't really compare. But I thoroughly enjoyed this. :D
:D Not that I'm surprised.

My brother and I used to have violent quarrels about which was the funnier big epic movie comedy. He supported MAD WORLD. I always chose THE GREAT RACE.
I thought then and I think now that THE GREAT RACE works so much better, has better jokes, and it's shorter. MAD WORLD has a bigger cast of comedians, but I don't think they're always given inspired things to do.
I'm with you, THE GREAT RACE by a huge win!

We shop a few times a year at Sam's Club (but I'm thinking about changing to Costco). I like to buy things like laundry supplies, bath soap, and paper goods in the quantity you can get there so we don't run out often. DR Jose - I also like the pecan halves and Ghirardelli chocolate chips for cooking!
I don't think Costco sells the Ghiradelli & their laundry supplies might be different. Before switching I suggest giving the store a trial run.

I have been having problems with my wrists & know I need to use the computer less. I’ve considered taking a break from the computer for awhile. Now I know I must.
This morning I did one of my usual klutzy stupid things, and I can’t blame Sherlock. While hiking I went zipping across the last series of stones over the creek & didn’t notice the 2nd one was wet & slippery. Down I went. When I pulled my face out of the water (thank goodness it landed in the water) I looked to see what I had done to my hands & wrists. I landed on the stones with my palms up. My left wrist is a little sore, like much of the rest of me. The right hand & wrist isn’t feeling too good & is somewhat swollen. So far it isn’t bad & I’m hoping tomorrow is a better day, not worse.
Still…when I sign off tonight I will be limiting my computer use to emails & work, nothing else for several weeks. It is difficult to stay away from all you Dear Readers, however I’m going to try very hard to make it until the end of June.
Since I’ll be gone, HAVE A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR ARNOLD M BROCKMAN!!
-
Aww, Jane!!
We'll miss you. Take care. Check in whenever you can.
-
Thanks DR Laura. My problem is, once I check in & can't tear myself away. ;D

Oh Jane, I am so sorry. I will certainly miss you while you are gone. Please, hurry back. :'(

Thanks DR TCB. You get rid of that horrid MRSA!!!
-
WRIST VIBES to Jane!
Jane, I think you need to keep some Arnica with you at all times. :-) Seriously, I hope you feel better soon and rejoin us.

I just
wasted two hours and eleven minutes suffered through finished watching John Doyle's production of COMAPNY. I thought the casting of this production was nearly flawless from Raul Esparza as Bobby down to all three of the girl friends. Well, okay, with one exception, and that was Joanna. Of course, Joanna is a hard character to like in any production, and it is very difficult to find anyone who can get away with being Elaine Stritch, other than Elaine Stritch.
I hated Mr. Doyle's direction of the piece, and I hated Mr. Doyle's conceit (a good choice of word) of giving the cast instruments to play; even more in this prodcution than in his SWEENEY TODD. There was absolutely no justification for it. Perhaps next, Mr. Doyle will have the cast start building the set while doing the show. He can start with only a ghost light at first preview and go from there. When the set is completely finished AND painted, the show will have to close.
-
Thanks DR TCB. You get rid of that horrid MRSA!!!
If only I could. :-\

DR Jeanne-I was under the impression you were advised to hire someone to stage your home & figured you had done a nice job putting your house in order all by yourself.
I agree with you, we have never depersonalized our homes. I’m also a rat pack. If we were to put this house up for sale I can look around and know exactly what I would have to pack away, and there would still be plenty of personal stuff sitting out. For one, my rock collection would get packed away. It would also be hidden from Keith so he couldn’t toss it, which he tried to do with every move ;D
If I’m up to it, I’m going to begin some spring cleaning soon.
-
I think that is the last thing you should do!
-
WRIST VIBES to Jane!
Jane, I think you need to keep some Arnica with you at all times. :-)
Thank you, and I should get some Arnica. Do you suggest a particular form or brand?
-
LOL-DR TCB. I said if I'm up to it.

We saw the Indiana Jones movie today. :D

Liked it very much, loads of fun. It was great having Karen Allen back. I do not think Harrison Ford looks like Gary Cooper as he ages. It was funny, he seemed to get younger looking during the action scenes.
-
Off to watch POLICE STORY.
'night and good health and good vibes to all!!!

Good night!

DR Jane many vibes.... I think you need to hire a little French boy to type for you...or borrow Edi's!

But, now, let's throw in a third contestant, Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines. I believe it came out the same year as Great Race, it also had an amazing cast...
Going in Magnificent Men's favor was it's willingness to set aside the comedy at times in favor of getting the majesty of it's subject right, the early days of flight. But parts of it now feel sadly dated.
Great Race, of course, has Blake Edwards at the helm.
I have never been able to sit through MMMMW. It ends up being too Missouri for me. Show me.

Jane, it is the agents who want to do the staging. I've already gotten rid of as much clutter as I could and still live here. I love old things and have lots of antiques and two semi-antique Oriental rugs. I know that one of the agents prefers a much flashier look. I know, too, that many buyers would like to have a new kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances. My kitchen was new when I moved in and I've replaced the appliances as needed. It simply doesn't make sense for me to replace the kitchen. No one's suggested it, but I suspect the house would sell more quickly if I did.
When I moved here, location was of prime importance. I have that. But many buyers today put less emphasis on location and want more from the house. I'm just not a glitzy person, which is one of the reasons why I love old houses. I love the patina of old things and knowing that many, many stories are contained within the walls. As usual, I am out of step with the mainstream. Why am I surprised?? ;)

Or if you can't find a little French boy, maybe DH Keith could type for you once in a while....just so you can update us. We'll miss you. VIBES

How strange! This board just bumped me off. Was it something I said??
-
... I agree with you, we have never depersonalized our homes. I’m also a rat pack....
Yes, you are Sinatra, Martin and Davis combined, with a little Shirley MacLaine thrown in to explain the sex appeal!
Oh, you mean Pack Rat. Nevermind. ;D
-
Thank you, and I should get some Arnica. Do you suggest a particular form or brand?
I use the Boiron pellets, just because they're easy to find. There's an Arnica ointment that you might like. My doctor prefers his patients to take the pellets-- to heal from the outside in. The tube of pellets (tiny pills) is small enough that I just keep one in my purse. Very convenient.
-

It does that sometimes....

The 'morrow morning will come too soon. Hasta.

Ahhh, looks like DR Jane really signed off....
-
DR Jane many vibes.... I think you need to hire a little French boy to type for you...or borrow Edi's!
There you go! A great idea from the ever-resourceful Cillaliz. He wouldn't even have to be French, as long as he was cute.
-
We've just had a great visit from DR Elmore. Rob and Mary Linda joined us for dinner and we all went out to inspect DR Elmore's non-existant gas cap as he was leaving.
-
it's time for me to say good night. Good night!
-
Oh, shoot! DR Jane left before I had a chance to say goodbye.
-
Managed to watch an assortment of wonderful things tonight. I began by finishing the Arthur O'Connell episode of THE FUGITIVE which I had started mid-afternoon. Good episode. Another close call for Dr. Richard Kimble.
-
I've been doing a lot of little things around the house this weekend. I was thinking of painting, but I really needed to spring clean and although I haven't gotten everything done, I made a big dent. I'm going to do some more tomorrow and pick up the paint for the upstairs bathroom so when I'm ready it's here and I can just do it. It's a small bathroom, it will be a one day project.
-
The next episode had another famous guest star - Tuesday Weld playing a blind girl used to getting her way. A very unsympathetic character for her. Very interesting story. Elizabeth Mac Rae played her sister. Paul Carr was Elizabeth's fiance whom Tuesday was trying to take away.
-
Oh, shoot! DR Jane left before I had a chance to say goodbye.
She did say she's going to read her email, so you can still send her best wishes..
-
Back from the put-in rehearsal, which was fine. Apparently, last night's show was the best we've had - wish I'd been there. Today's show was excellent, but not with a boisterous audience as they had last night, when, I was told, they had to keep holding and holding because the laughs were going on so long.
-
To bring me up to THE TUDORS, I put in disc one from the NCIS box set from last season and watched the second episode of the season. Jethro Gibbs was still retired but came back to work on a case. By the end, he had rejoined the agency. Hal Holbrook was the principal guest star.
-
Then I supped with the Wechters - we went to Claim Jumper where I did not overeat.
-
And now I am home. I really can't motivate myself to watch a whole movie in the bedroom, so I'll motivate me to the piano and do some Nudie Musical work.
-
THE TUDORS was such a sad episode tonight. All my loves gone in one fell swoop: George, Mark, argh!
Of course, Henry Brandon is still a sight to see.
-
Speaking of Nudie Musical, our latest cast member for the reading is Alet Taylor as Mary La Rue.
-
I finished the evening watching another FUGITIVE episode. This one stars Tim O'Connor in a town which has been quarantined with bubonic plague. There's also a 15 year old girl lusting after Dr. Kimble, and when he rejects her, she looks for revenge on him using her boy friend and her father.
I didn't quite get to the end of it, so I'll finish it tomorrow.
-
Page Eight Wicked Witch of the West Dance!!!
-
Since there won't be anything on TV for me tomorrow night (unless I change my mind and decide to watch the new miniseries version of THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN), I should be able to finish up with THE FUGITIVE tomorrow.
-
DR Elmore - we think you had no tail lights when you drove away from the house. The brake lights came on, but otherwise the back of your vehicle was dark.
-
Thank you, DR Ginny, but I did have to turn the lights, as I discovered halfway down Central Avenue. It was a wonderful dinner, and I had a great time.
The day has been good: a lovely visit with my cousin Sue Ellen and Uncle Bob, and then a very pleasant evening at DR Ginny's. I just got back and Randy and Jo are playing card games with another couple and having what sounds like an excelletn evening as well.
I'm off to bed.
Good night, all!
-
We're all crashing here, too - 'night!
-
Heading downstairs to bed myself.
Good night!
-
Yes, there are photos. But you can only see the back... of their heads.
I *heart* you, too. . .

I was sparkling fresh for my trip to Walmart.

Just played through the entire score of Nudie Musical. Wow, do I have a lot of re-learning to do - and I have a lot of arranging to do on vamps and rideouts and such, on all the movie songs. What we had worked okay in the film, but the stage version needs better arrangements on a few things - some key changes, some bouncier vamps, etc.
-
I have been home all day, doing nothing but watching TV...mainly the last eight, count 'em EIGHT episodes of "Eli Stone." I had recorded them to my DVD burner because my friend Margo had asked if I would tape them for her. Well, I taped them for myself because I was in a show and didn't have time to watch them. Today, I took the time. I also took the time to edit out the commercials and was able to burn them onto two DVDs for Margo. I could've put all eight episodes onto one disc, but I think that the visual quality wouldn't have been very good. If it had been for myself, I would've put up with it, but since it's for a friend, I figured that it should be watchable. :)
-
DR SWW - thanks for the warning about how crowded the stores are this weekend. I'm on my way to Kroger and consider myself suitable prepared.
My sister wants to go to Trader Joe's tomorrow morning! There are two within 45 miles of where we live, so we'll go to one of them. I don't know if they're open (and if they are, how crowded they'll be), but we'll find out soon enough.
-
Speaking of Nudie Musical, our latest cast member for the reading is Alet Taylor as Mary La Rue.
Great news, BK!

Great to hear the LAST STARFIGHTER report.....we need even MORE info as it becomes available.....audience reaction, audience size, audience attire.
Audience reaction: quite favorable and fairly vocal
Audience size: quite full...I think the theater holds 150+ people, but it wasn't totally filled
Audience attire: casual and appropriate
-
Good Evening/Morning!
When I stepped out earlier, I received a text from a friend of mine saying he was heading to DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) to grab a late dinner. -And since I was heading out for dinner, I decided to join him. Good timing.
We ended up at some really cool Mexican/Spanish place which was more club than restaurant, but the food was amazing. Then we walked around for a bit checking out the other storefronts and restaurants in that 'hood. I will definitely need to head back there during normal business hours - especially to check out Jacques Torres' main Chocolate Shoppe location. :)
-
DR Jane - First of all - OUCH!
Second of all - I hope you heal soon and fast. *Have you investigate voice recognition software? ;)
-
I was sparkling fresh for my trip to Walmart.
And how were you after your trip to Walmart?
-
Well.. I really don't want to sleep until Noon again, so...
Goodnight.
-
DR George - Thanks for the Starfighter reports. And I'm glad you got to meet DR Julie too!
Thanks! And me, too! :D

~~~SUPER WRIST-RECOVERY VIBES FOR DR JANE!!~~~

I just watched episode six of Torchwood from the first season.
-
It was the episode where the gang goes to the countryside to investigate some disappearances and they discover that someone...or something...has been skinning and eating people! :P It was a very creepy episode.
-
SEASON ONE TORCHWOOD SPOILER ALERT!!
It turns out that it wasn't something. It was the very human villagers. Every 10 years they would have "the harvest." They'd capture passers-by and eat them...one guy at the end said he did it because it made him happy.
:-X
-
Nice way to end my TV viewing for the night. ;)
-
Of course, what makes it really creepy was the fact that no non-human aliens were doing this.
-
Almost to Page NINE!

:D
