Well, you've read the notes, the notes were symphonic and had movements, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently doing an adagio and it's very slow going.

And the word of the day is: TROGLODYTE!

I must say, going cold turkey and staying away from those two theater chat boards was so easy and the day and evening is so much nicer without having to read those boards.

For Cillaliz:
(From an Email)
As I watched the news coverage of the massive flooding in the Midwest with over 100 blocks of the city of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, under water with the levees breaking, and the attention now turned downstream for when this massive amount of water hits the Mississippi, what amazed me is not what we saw, but what we didn't see...
1. We don't see looting.
2. We don't see street violence.
3. We don't see people sitting on their rooftops waiting for the government to come and save them.
4. We don't see people waiting on the government to do anything.
5. We don't see Hollywood organizing benefits to raise money for people to rebuild.
6. We don't see people blaming President Bush.
7. We don't see people ignoring evacuation orders.
8. We don't see people blaming a government conspiracy to blow up the levees as the reason some have not held.
9. We don't see the US Senators or the Governor of Iowa crying on TV.
10. We don't see the Mayors of any of these cities complaining about the lack of state or federal response.
11. We don't see or hear reports of the police going around confiscating personal firearms so only the criminal will be armed.
12. We don't see gangs of people going around and randomly shooting at the rescue workers.
13. You don't see some leaders in this country blaming the bad behavior of the Iowa flood victims on "society" (of course there are no wide spread reports of lawlessness to require excuses).
Re: Iowa vs. Louisiana:
Where are all of the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks affected by the floods?
Where is all the media asking the tough questions about why the federal government hasn't solved the problem? Asking where the FEMA trucks (and trailers) are?
Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa people to free hotels in Chicago?
When will Spike Lee say that the Federal Government blew up the levees that failed in Des Moines?
Where are Sean Penn and the Dixie Chicks?
Where are all the looters stealing high-end tennis shoes and big screen television sets?
When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a "vanilla" Iowa, because that's the way God wants it?
Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of cannibalism?
Where are the people declaring that George Bush hates white, rural people?
How come in 2 weeks, you will never hear about the Iowa flooding ever again?

The only symphonies that I can recognize are Beethoven's 5th and 9th. Otherwise, I don't know from symphonies. :-\

So glad to hear the news that DR Vixmom and her car have been reunited! :D

Well, yesterday evening, after I went to my sister's (it turned out that our aunts didn't come over yesterday, they're coming over tonight), I decided on a whim to go see "Wall-E."
-
The movie time was 9:55 pm and I got there right about that time...and there was no one in the theater! NO ONE! However, after 20 minutes of previews, probably half a dozen or so more people eventually showed up.
-
Otherswise, let me say: Wow! It's a wonderful movie! The story is practically perfect and the visuals are absolutely stunning! It was this theater's digital presentation, so the picture was incredible...except for the permanent mark (rip?) on the screen. :P
-
BK is right!! Go see this movie. :D They way they used the two songs from "Hello, Dolly!" (without Babs) is perfect! The music score otherwise never made a specific impression on me, other than very good background/silent movie-type music. It very muchly went along with what was going on, but I didn't recognize (or even notice) any melodies or tunes. Regardless, GO SEE THIS!! ;D

And the good news is that earlier today, I found my CD-R of the London cast recording of 1776! I still have out my version of the laserdisc soundtrack. Now, was it only Ben that wanted the London version and Matt H. that wanted the movie soundtrack? Or is that correct? Let me know...and soon! ;)

I only own the Beethoven Symphonies. I also own a recording of Copeland music but I wonder if you can call them a symphonies.
What makes a piece a music symphonic? It's orchestration?
I have a a track called The Sound of Music Suite for Orchestra -"A Symphonic Picture for Orchestra" does this mean it's actually a symphony?
Inquiring minds want to know

It's been a very productive past few days. As I mentioned, we have a working cell phone. I activated it yesterday and now it will sit unused until Anthony comes back to the city and begins to use it to become familiar with it. I've updated things on three computers (our desktop here in the city, our laptop here in the city and the computer on Long Island) and I now have a ticket to Madison, WI. I will be seeing a certain production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying starring (well, almost) a certain referenced actor on this site. I got a great deal (considering the price of airfares). $273 round trip on Continental and it's nonstop!
I'll be a busy traveler in August and September because I'm going to Minnesota for a weekend in early August, after Anthony leaves for Wisconsin. Remember when flying used to be fun?

I have that CD too!
And as much as adore the Hanson, I bought the CD for the Barber. The first movement of that violin concerto has an achingly beautiful theme. -And the piano reduction of the orchestra "part" works very well too.
-
-And keeping with concerted concerto works: the second movement of Ravel's Piano Concerto in G.
Michelangeli's recording always seems to rank high up on people's lists in regards to a recording of this work, however, I also like Martha Argerich's very visceral rendition. But the one I go to most often is Krystian Zimerman with the Cleveland Orchestra under Pierre Boulez (on DG). Some exquisite playing, and very good recording, technically speaking.

Well... Time for me to head down to 34th Street. Well, actually 35th Street, but I have to take the train down to 34th Street/Penn Station. However, I can exit right at 35th Street from the station, so... In any case...

For those who watch BIG BROTHER it starts this sunday.
Hamsterwatch has a bunch of stuff up about the new season:

Last night i watched the BACHLORETTE for the first time in many years (i was with someone who really wanted to watch it).
I will say that it made me remember why i dislike the show so much.
It's all great that the couple is sooo happy. But it made me sick to watch what she did to the guy she did not take at the end.
Apparently this girl had been the one ditched last by a guy named brad. And she was so sad and vowed not to do this to anyone. Yet she did it. And had the nerve to say last night, "until watching it back i had no idea i realized i did the same thing to him that brad did to me!"
I hate watching someone say, "oh that was the romantic thing ever" and "i'm falling in love with you". and making out with the guy she will reject (the night before she gets engaged).
I really preferred the guy she rejected. I just wish that when they edited the shows that they would edit it to make you feel the love story of the winner. And make you root for the winner. Instead they try to balance it and make most people end up being annoyed!

Ben I agree with you completely! I'd much rather live in the snow than the heat. I tried Arizona and it didn't agree with me. But I must admit it was better than having humidity. The other day I could barely breathe. That's just not acceptable

Ok, here's to a better day. We've already been through the case list and have a to do list started. Time to start crossing them off.

Mr. Druxman is truly sorry that his actor couldn't do the reading.

He is, after all, rather skinny.

No, DR George. You've already sent me the movie soundtrack (some years ago). I think it was DR Ron Pulliam who wanted the movie soundtrack.

Overcast but muggy warm this morning, so the central A/C never was turned off. It hasn't popped on much this morning, but it should have. I have felt a little sweaty all morning.

I just saw the UPS man carrying a box to my door which means Paramount is sending a DVD with some PR junk. I'll go down to see what it is momentarily.

Today I'll be catching up on a couple of things. I want to finish MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST that I started yesterday. (I have about 40 minutes to go but a lot of that is commercials). I recorded BONES last night since the episode is from this season, so I'll watch that while I cook and eat lunch.
And then, I'll be working on the Blu-ray of STEP UP 2 THE STREETS, another hip-hop dance movie similar to HOW SHE MOVE that I watched and wrote about some two months ago.
-
Nothing on TV for me tonight. NCIS is, once again, rerunning an episode from last season which I already have on DVD, so no need to watch/record it.
-
Sorry for all the problems with ALL MY SONS, DR JRand. I've been in shows where cast members stubbornly refused to learn their lines or write down their blocking, and it's always maddening for others in the cast who do.
My worst experience with this was several years ago with MY THREE ANGELS. A couple of those guys kept their scripts in the wings all through the run and would go over lines before they would walk out on stage. The dialog exchanges with me were always "approximations" of what was supposed to be in the script and sections were always skipped which I'd have to deal with. One of the most miserable experiences I've ever had on stage.

TOD: too many to choose, but two that spring instantly to mind are Prokofiev 5 and Vaughan Williams 4.

And here it is: My beloved Sheriff John - John Rovick. Readers of the Kritzer books will know exactly who I'm speaking of.
I happened to remember another "J.R." last night, but I offer it here and now:
Jane Robelot (http://www.wyff4.com/wyffnewsteam/10715496/detail.html), former CBS anchor person. She left CBS's morning show after she was diagnosed with Graves' disease.
Her brother Tommy was a classmate of mine in high school. Tommy lives in Greenville SC with his family. Jane went to Atlanta GA with her family, and then returned to Greenville a year after having surgery to repair her heart. She is working again and doing TV reports at a local station.

No matter how it's argued, DR Jennifer, it was still illegal and copyrighted and someone took issue with it.
Many times, things appear on youtube, and elsewhere, and the owners of the copyright "don't" make an issue of it. Sometimes, it's far too much trouble, or it's too costly.
Fact is, though, that there are tens of thousands of copyright violations on the internet at any given time...if that few.
So...if it disappeared, it means someone took serious issue with it. In this case, it's probably because it involves music from a current show on Broadway, and the clips are from a current show on TV trying to find a future cast for the show.
Just because everybody else does this stuff doesn't make it right.
-
I actually managed to get all three of my Revue women over here last night for a run-through of at least some of the group numbers. All I can say is, I am not going to be particularly sympathetic toward the guys when they start complaining (and you KNOW they're going to complain) about not knowing their music once we hit the stage. We have a grand total of three rehearsals (one of which has to get the blocking and lighting cues down, oy) before we open. They have had every opportunity to come over on numerous occasions, so c'est la vie.

Guess I'll head down now to check the mail and see about finding something for lunch.

Last night's HOW DO YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE MARIA elimination was sort of interesting.
In the first few weeks the judges never really made their desires known. But this week they basically told the public how to vote. Now this can sometimes go wrong (a la American idol's simon). But this week the public did exactly what the judges told them to do.
They put the judges least favorites into the b3. So it was not that difficult for ALW's flunky to decide.
They are now down to 6 girls. And apparently next week they will lose another 2.
One very interesting development is during the sunday night show the vocal coach (and judge, elaine something) said some very harsh comments re: one of the girls.
This girl i'd say is in their top 4. She is a fantastic performer. HAs an incredible voice. But to me is not the traditional maria. Or anything near it. She is heavier than the others and has a very mature look to her face.
Anyhow on sunday's show the vocal coach/judge said that rehearsals counted just as much as performances. and that this girl (donna) was acting like a diva in rehearsals. And that she did not take notes well.
I wish they had shown us what they were talking about. Because coming out of context and out of the blue like that, i thought it was incredibly damaging.
The more interesting part is that on last night's show the host confronted both the girl and the judge. Crazy!

No matter how it's argued, DR Jennifer, it was still illegal and copyrighted and someone took issue with it.
Many times, things appear on youtube, and elsewhere, and the owners of the copyright "don't" make an issue of it. Sometimes, it's far too much trouble, or it's too costly.
Fact is, though, that there are tens of thousands of copyright violations on the internet at any given time...if that few.
So...if it disappeared, it means someone took serious issue with it. In this case, it's probably because it involves music from a current show on Broadway, and the clips are from a current show on TV trying to find a future cast for the show.
Just because everybody else does this stuff doesn't make it right.
I did not know they were not allowed to post this on youtube.
I guess part of why it seemed odd is that there are the same clips from the same show still there by other posters.
Plus it is great publicity for the show.
I guess i'm not understanding why it's okay for some of the videos that are there. There are thousands of videos of tv shows on youtube. So do they only remove them if someone complains?
I actually thought the shows would love the publicity. And as long as they were not posted in their entirety i really thought it was allowed.
-
...it was too erudite!
Does it show?
-
Some clips on youtube are in public domain. If you were to go to Amazon.com and look them up, you'd find multiple DVD versions of them being sold.
Sometimes the owner of the copyright on older material is not clearcut. Even the true owner may not know he or she owns it.
A lot of stuff is available, I agree. Much of it would probably be an "issue" if it were of high quality. I think that's probably the line that gets drawn in many cases....stuff that is downloaded isn't from original sources, but off TV broadcasts and the quality is often quite bad.
-
Does it show?
Stay clear of the subway grating and it will probably be okay.
-
I'm imagining that DR Ginny's homeless and indigent clientele are probably missing her right about now. Perhaps they'll just show up on her doorstep to serenade her with a little "get well" song! :D

Ditto.
In fact, there is an now an office over at Equity that will routinely monitor what's put up on YouTube, and will have things taken off the site if they are deemed in violation of copyright - as well as the rights' of the actors, technicians, musicians and production staff involved with the show. Alas, there really is just too much stuff on there to be wiped out in one fell swoop, but, again, as DR Ron Pulliam stated, that doesn't make it right. -And it seems that most of the TV networks don't take action themselves - even though they could - since the clips act as free promotion for their shows.
My guess is that the quality of the clips that the "best poster" posted more than likely prompted immediate action. *And since the MTV show does show clips from the actual Broadway production, both the theatrical and TV unions would and could have issue with posting clips from the show. *And if you had access to the reports of the initially botched agreements to have Legally Blonde taped and broadcast on MTV in the first place, you'd probably would not be so upset/annoyed that the clips were taken down. Attention - and people! - must be paid! ;)

Good morning!
I'm just now catching up on the rest of yesterday's posts, and saw bk's correction to Gerome Ragni. The reason I posted it as a JR was because I went to the internet to check the spelling (as a kid, I always thought of the name as "Ragini"). I did a google of "Jerome Ragni Hair" and got tons of results for him so I assumed that was how it was spelled.
-
We are -- AGAIN -- having another hot spell. Honestly! It's not supposed to BE like this here. We get intense heat, we get a cool-down; then we get another intense heat and then we get another cool-down.
It's supposed to be mild here in the summer. Period. No intense heat ever.
Today, it's gonna be so hot that birds'll be carrying oven mitts to pick worms off the ground.

And the word of the day is: TROGLODYTE!
"I've had it with that TROGLODYTE boyfriend of mine!" Olive Oyl fumed. "Sure, Popeye says he never looks at another girl, but I tell you, he's just another DOTTY OGLER!"
-
DR Jennifer - Have you ever watched a baseball game and heard the disclaimer/warning about rebroadcasting the game in any way, shape or form? The same applies to almost anything shown on TV and in a movie theatre. You have to read the fine print - literally - in the credits.
-
DR Edisaurus - Google has tripped me up like that many a time. It is, unfortunately, not a good spelling arbiter. :(

Back when "Wicked" was in its pre-Broadway phase and playing at S.F.'s Curran Theater, someone posted digital clips of most of the show's songs on Kristin Chenoweth's internet site. That lasted about a day. Those lucky souls who copied them are indeed fortunate, but stern warnings were posted there that the site would not host anything illegal.

I just got my itinerary for my trip down to Orlando next week. Disney will be flying me down Wednesday morning. Since I don't start "working" until Thursday morning, I'll have a nice afternoon and evening to spend in Orlando. Hmm... It's been a while since I've been in/on "The Tower of Terror". :)

There is a West Side Story dance audition going on across the hall from us today. And I just happened to spy a certain winner of a certain recent reality-competition-tv show doing the "Cool" thing.

What's the book, DR Jane?

I had a ton of mail awaiting me this morning -- all of it personal. Lots of great stuff overpacked in large boxes. I took a humongous pile and -- by removing the contents from boxes -- converted it into a large pile. One box -- the collector's edtion of "Planet of the Apes" -- is the only thing keeping it from being an easily manageable pile. Oy! The DVD box is the size of a medium-sized desk fan.

Even though I miss (most of) my co-workers and the hustle and bustle of my usual routine, this is one element I do not miss at all!
I just commented to Richard this morning that the one thing I like most about not going to work is having time to read both newspapers in the morning.

We have the most horrendous air quality this week. Singdaw and Jayson are extremely fortunate they were here when they were. I know Jayson had some smoke to contend after his arrival, but it was minimal compared to now. For most of the holiday weekend, we had ocean breezes that kept the smoke out of the area.
Now we have a high pressure system is in a counter-clockwise -- and going-nowhere-fast -- rotation over the entire Bay Area. The fog isn't rolling in. And the system is picking up smoke from all the hundreds of fires in this region and mixing it with vehicle exhaust. It was impossible for me to see more than half a mile yesterday from my condo. I normall can see the bay and the land beyond (South San Francisco).
My eyes won't stop watering, and I've been inside the past two hours.

Good morning, good day, how are you this beautiful day? I am up. A little later than usual. But up.

Just because everybody else does this stuff doesn't make it right.
Well said, DR Ron!
We have been battling people putting our whole Internationale film up there. And it's annoying seeing people thank the person posting it and resenting it when the filmmakers suggest that they should buy a copy.
I imagine one day there will be something like ASCAP or BMI imposed on Youtube and its ilk to cut down on some of this. In the meantime, it's pretty annoying for people who haven't even finished paying-off their independent films to see them offered for free!

Just got the script for Episode 7 of THE CLOSER. Kevin Bacon is directing!

Anyhow, i still don't get why it was taken down. And others weren't.

I find it especially odd since mtv.com shares programming with mtv.ca.
Apparently the show may start airing in canada on much music aug 17th. That's what i was told.
I just wanna see episode 6. :(

I don't really see this as the same thing. Obviously posting an entire film especially an independent one is a big no-no.
What i was talking about was just pieces of a reality show, that there is no other way to see (for me anyway, you guys can watch it for free on mtv.com).

Finally off the telephonic device - had to have a few conversations with the publisher, who, I must say, is moving much more slowly than I care for. They had a problem with the cover and back cover images that Grant sent - something about it being less than 300 dpi, but it would have been no different than the Hollywood High cover. The photo we used was 180dpi, but then Grant did all his stuff in photoshop and sent them an uncompressed pdf of it, so he says it should print fine. The gal I was talking to was towing the party line and I told her to stop and tried to make her understand this was my eighth book with them and I needed things to move along a little faster. She got terse with me, and that was that - I told her to transfer me to the gal I used to deal with years ago, because whenever I have this sort of thing happen I go right to her - she's very high up on the food chain and gets things done. The gal I was talking to said "I can assure you this is not the way to deal with us" and I replied "And I can assure you this is not the way to deal with me" - she then put me through to my gal, and my gal laughed and assured me she'd figure out what was going on, and what needed to get done and then move this along to the next step immediately. I also told her that the guy who's my new rep never responds to my e-mails or calls, and she said she'd deal with that, too, as she, like me, feels that's unacceptable.

It's supposed to be hot and muggy today. I turned on the air conditioner last night. Global warming? I'd rather live in the snow than the heat. That's why I can't retire to Arizona or Florida (sorry Kerry, Laura and Lyn and Michael Shayne and Danise).
Yes, but it's a dry heat. Remember? ;)

Symphony-wise, my favorite is Rachmaninov's Symphony Number 2. I also love Mahler's 6th, most of Vaughn-Williams, Walton's symphonies, all of Hanson, the symphonies and piano concerto of Robert Ward. I'm very partial to English and American music.

As for the quality being too good, well, that's a possibility. His clips could have also been flagged due to the number of views he was getting.
As for why or why not a clip gets taken down, well... ???
And as for pleading to AEA (Equity), you will also have to plead your case to the stagehands union, the musicians union, the dressers union, and so on and so forth.
I'm sorry that MTV Canada is not carrying the show, but, alas, that's what you get for living in Canada. ;)
*And just remember: Would you be OK with someone - or a slew of someones - posting your picture/image/movie/show all over the place without your pemission and/or knowledge? And suppose you had written a script or a song, would you want that to be "shared" with everyone without any sort of monetary renumeration?
-Besides, I'm sure there is some sort of not too complicated work around to see the clips on MTV's US website on your side of the border. ;)

Good to see you online, DR Kerry! :) {{{{{hugs}}}}}

Good Morning, Ginny! To answer your question from some time, yes, I broke my right ankle this time, so you and I could be a whole person (kind of like DRLaura and I each have half a brain: together we make up a whole brain).
As far as getting from one room to another, I am lucky in that I live in a flat, first floor, one floored space. Sometime ago, the errant and truant DRMusicGuy and I used to live in a house that no matter which room you entered, you had to go up or down two steps. We learned the pitfalls of this when I dislocated my knee one summer. Later when our Basset Hound got hip dysplasia, I knew just how much trouble she had with those steps. Since then, the house we had after that was just one level as is my current apartment and his current condo. We may not have learned much in 20 years, but we learned that. We have great friends in the midwest who have a 3 or 4 story house (which is quite lovely) but the stairs are beginning to prove quite the problem now that these guys are not the perpetually young guys they still are in my head.

Was there some reason my post #410 yesterday was disqualified?
"John Roebling, designer of the Brooklyn Bridge (and its precursor the Roebling Suspension Bridge over the Ohio River in Cincinnati - the one in the opening credits of WKRP in Cincinnati)"
It wasn't disqualified. I typed in the wrong first name, is all. My bad.

Hi, DR Kerry! OK, I'm ready for the sack race!
Your comments last night about watching The King and I with a broken ankle reminded me of how I felt watching gymnastics trials two weeks ago. Every time someone landed, my foot throbbed.
Our house is a 2-story, but we pretty much live on the first floor, so I've also been pretty content. My only challenge is getting down 2 steps into our family room when I want a change of scenery and down the next 2 steps when I need to get to the car. Actually, down isn't too bad, but up still isn't pretty.

I believe you've gotten several reasonable and rational responses. Whether you accept them or not is up to you. My recommendation, however, is to contact the management of youtube and ask them why they took the clips down rather than belabor the point here where no one can help you.

Thanks for the vibes for the show, fellow HHW'ers. I feel somewhat optimistic about tonight....but I am sure that will change when I get there.
Tonight is a dress rehearsal/family night so that family members can come and take photos and see the show....such as it is.
I am sure I will get an earful of "helpful suggestions" afterwards. One of the reasons I never give it unless asked, is that I know how I feel about it when I am directing. It has been my experience that the Director knows exactly what is wrong....thank you very much.

Der B and I had a very nice time at the Farmer's Market today. We scored some lovely ripe tomatoes, some leeks, zucchini, carrots, beets, peaches, and mushrooms (oyster, shiitake, and creminis).
Then we went to the store, where I bought some shrimp.
The eatings in Rehoboth Beach are going to be fine indeed over the next few days.

Did DR JMK say that he got three wimmin last night?
-
Did anyone recognize DR derBRUCER from his newspaper fo-to?
-
Of course Copland's QUIET CITY was written for play starring Miss Frances Farmer. It lasted a whopping two performances. ;)
-
More telephonic calls.
-
And am awaiting a visit from Mr. Nick Redman.
-
On the other hand, der Brucer and I have come to a rather dangerous agreement.
It's time for me to start driving again.
I have very happily not been a driver since before der B and I coupled. I have some problems with my depth perception, and simply do not trust myself behind the wheel of any vehicle.
But that attitude is about to come to an end. The simple fact is, der B isn't as happy behind the wheel as he used to be. In fact, it wears him out a lot faster now than it used to. And, since we're no longer in the chaos that is the Los Angeles Freeway System (and surface street mania), a lot of the reasons behind my pavement panic should not come into play.
So, be glad none of you are in Delaware. If you were, the kook driving the car next to yours could well be me!
-
No, DR George. You've already sent me the movie soundtrack (some years ago). I think it was DR Ron Pulliam who wanted the movie soundtrack.
Thanks for the clarification.
-
Dear Kerry, I'm so glad to know that you have washed your tea ball!!!
You and I can start a "washing up service" and we will focus on bowls and balls (of the tea variety)
-
And on that note, Welcome to Page 7
-
I don't watch any of the shows Jennifer watches, so I'm not bothered by the clips disappearing from YouTube.
-
Don't ask Kerry to dance, he needs to nurse his ankle.
-
DR Ben, I'm very impressed with the flight arrangements - and price - that you were able to arrange for getting to Madison!
-
I gotta tell you. It's already noon. After Mr. Redman's visit, I must ship about ten packages. No orders today for Evening Primrose - so either they're not finding us or they'd already gotten the CD.
-
Welcome seventeen GUESTS.
-
Getting to Madison - that is the name of my new musical.
-
DR Ben, I'm very impressed with the flight arrangements - and price - that you were able to arrange for getting to Madison!
So is my friend from Wisconsin. He's going back for his parent's 60th anniversary and he's having a hard time finding something reasonable, and he's going to Milwaukee!
Alas, I won't be able to see 10 Chimneys while we are there. It's closed on Mondays and that is the only day Ant has free for fun stuff. He has matinees and evening shows on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'll either see the show a lot or I'll play on the laptop at the actors' house :D
-
All the best people already have the Evening Primrose CD.
-
And Lenny's Symphony No.2, "The Age of Anxiety." :)
How could I have forgotten that?
-
DS Betsy and a lot of her family graduated from UW Madison.
-
Isn't DR Elmore friends with Conon McCarty? He's in the current script I'm reading, episode 7.
-
Is anyone going to the store to buy the Mamma Mia! soundtrack today? :)
Thinkin' about it, DR Singdaw! Aside from prescriptions, I've spent very little money in the past month. We've joked about how I picked a great time, with gas at $4/gallon, not to be driving 50 miles a day to work and back.
-
Dear Kerry, I'm so glad to know that you have washed your tea ball!!!

Sounds great to me. They have every other kind of personal service that I think tea balls and oatmeal bowls have their places too!
-
And yet another lull...
Doesn't anyone want to be in a show anymore?!?!?!?!?
I do! :D
;)
-
Job and travel and healing and good weather vibes to all, BTW!!!
-
Off the climb the thirteen steps. Pray for Rosemary's Baby.
-
Well...
The auditions have started back up again...
And so has my headache...
And I want to take a nap...
-
I've been toying with the idea of heading right home after I'm done here today, and just getting back into bed to take a nap, get some sleep, whatever... -And whenever I wake up is when I wake up. We shall see.
-
Rehearsal vibes, DR JRand! Ask DR Elmore how a certain director's assistant of his felt about actors who approximated their lines 8)

*I also hope that I don't end up crying on the subway again. I'm listening to the audiobook version of "The Soloist". As a musician, some of those passages truly hit close to home.

Big social outing planned for our family this evening! In a little while, we're going to pick up my mom and bring her into town for dinner at the new senior center that's opened at the end of our street. It's kind of become our "club," as Richard was going up there pretty regularly to use the exercise equipment before he had to become my nurse. They serve dinner Monday-Thursday and we either go there or he gets carry-out at least once a week.
DS Rob is back home for a few days and is *thrilled* to get in on this sparkling event!
-
DR Jose - did you download the audiobook to your iPod? Who's the narrator?
-
Isn't DR Elmore friends with Conon McCarty? He's in the current script I'm reading, episode 7.
Yep! I am.
-
He told me he was back this season.
-
Off to live it up with my family - bye for now!
-
DR Jose - did you download the audiobook to your iPod? Who's the narrator?
Yes, I did. -One of those freebies from audible.com. *Just type in "/subway" after the web address. ;)
The narrator is William Hughes.

OK.. Battery is running low, and, apparently, we're starting to get a lot of "walk-up" business now that the EPA for The Little Mermaid has ended, so...

Day Two of Vacation Bible School completed.
-
I have a book group meeting to attend. I'm not looking forward to this one at all.
Friends gave us Season 1, Disc 1 of CALIFORNICATION. I think we are hooked now. Has anyone else watched this show?
One episode was all I could stand and stopped watching. Really not my kind of show at all.
I had the chance to review the first season of DVDs and turned that down, too.
-
I had a nice afternoon with SOME of the things I watched. As for the other, OY!
-
Page Eight Scarecrow Dance!!!
-
I began by finishing Kathy Griffin's MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST from last week. She conducted the wedding and had her gig at Madison Square Garden. Some funny stuff. Poor Tom is the butt of so many of her jokes.
-
Then, I watched last night's BONES episode. It was a good episode, but knowing how all the stuff about Gormogon ends by the end of the season, it left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth watching it.
-
Then I watched STEP UP 2 THE STREETS on Blu-ray. Just another variation of "let's put on a show" only with hip-hop/street dance instead of swing as Judy and Mickey did it.
The story took place at MSA (Maryland School of the Arts - a high school of the performing arts in Baltimore). Is there such a place in Baltimore?
-
I also watched the 8 deleted scenes from the film which included two complete hip-hop numbers which were merely excerpted in the film. A little bit of this stuff goes a long way with me, even though I recognize the tremendous athletic ability that is required to perform it.
-
I found a couple of Easter Eggs on the Blu-ray while I was negotiating the menus. I'm usually awful about finding these things on DVDs, but I found the ones on NATIONAL TREASURE; BOOK OF SECRETS and this one fairly easily.
-
I ended the afternoon skimming through AS THE WORLD TURNS. No Luke nor is he scheduled to reappear this week if what I've read on other sites is correct. Oh, well. . . .
-
On the other hand, der Brucer and I have come to a rather dangerous agreement.

He does seem to be a good sport about it. I wonder if that was part of his job description when she hired him, and he had an idea of what he was getting into...or actually any of her assistants.

Off to Marietta to rouse some rabble.

Oh, sure. He seems to have a good sense of the absurd about his duties for Kathy and takes it all with good humor. Since he's stuck around for awhile now, I'd say he must like the job.
-
I forgot to mention what that review disc was that got delivered this morning: it was indeed from Paramount, the Martin Scorsese documentary on the Rolling Stones concert SHINE A LIGHT. It doesn't come out until the end of July, so it went to the bottom of the review pile.
-
I probably have about a half hour to an hour of bonus stuff left to watch on STEP UP 2 THE STREETS.
Then, I'll have the evening free for my own viewing choices. I know I want to see the next CLOSER episode in the set (disc 3). I may also be able to fit in a movie of some kind. I'll check the running times and see what's there that I can squeeze into the evening.
-
Guess I'll hop off line now and do some writing.

I always dreaded VBS....first when I had to attend, and later in life when I had to run the music. :P
-
I am sure you are all wanting to see a photo from Vacation Bible School, so here you go ....
-
For those of you who think that Singdaw is psychic and knew what I was going to post before I posted it, I deleted my post and touched up the photo a little then reposted.
-
In all the years I have gone to VBS and taken photos, I have never ONCE had a craft photo without an adult's hands in it.
-
The Goldstein girls are having a marvelous time and have learned some new songs about Jesus, which probably annoys their grandmother to no end.
-
Then, I watched last night's BONES episode. It was a good episode, but knowing how all the stuff about Gormogon ends by the end of the season, it left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth watching it.
I thoroughly agree. I cannot think of a more egregious story arc/disposition of a major character than the one "Bones" perpetrated upon its viewers with this Gormogon thing. It's all right in the long run, as I will look forward to new shows, but it has forever soured that character for me and I no longer enjoy any of the scenes in past episodes with the character.

I always dreaded VBS....first when I had to attend, and later in life when I had to run the music. :P
I LOVED Vacation Bible School. It was a nice break, for one week, in the summer when I could catch up with other kids. Even though I saw them every Sunday it wasn't the same as being around 'em all day and doing all those "fun" things. I can't tell you how many fantastic "crafts" I made during those VBS summers. I "could" tell you if my folks had ever saved any of them...but they didn't...and now I can't.
-
Some grownup always fixed my craft. Apparently I am still a little bitter.

I am happy to bring back happy memories, DR Ron Pulliam.

YEAH!
I just got my itinerary for my trip down to Orlando next week. Disney will be flying me down Wednesday morning. Since I don't start "working" until Thursday morning, I'll have a nice afternoon and evening to spend in Orlando. Hmm... It's been a while since I've been in/on "The Tower of Terror". :)
Gee, is that an Orlando gay bar?

We have the most horrendous air quality this week. Singdaw and Jayson are extremely fortunate they were here when they were. I know Jayson had some smoke to contend after his arrival, but it was minimal compared to now. For most of the holiday weekend, we had ocean breezes that kept the smoke out of the area.
Now we have a high pressure system is in a counter-clockwise -- and going-nowhere-fast -- rotation over the entire Bay Area. The fog isn't rolling in. And the system is picking up smoke from all the hundreds of fires in this region and mixing it with vehicle exhaust. It was impossible for me to see more than half a mile yesterday from my condo. I normall can see the bay and the land beyond (South San Francisco).
My eyes won't stop watering, and I've been inside the past two hours.
A co-worker just returned from a weekend in Reno. He said the smoke there was horrible.
-
Had a lovelier than lovely visit with Mr. Nick Redman, and then we went and had some lunch at Vivian's Cafe - I had my usual chicken salad sandwich with bacon and cheese, and NO fries, just some slaw, and he had some scrambled eggs.

SLAUGHTER ON TENTH AVENUE

JEDANDANN SLAUGHTER ON TENTH AVENUE
-
Prior to his arrival, I had a computer emergency, one of those weird completely inexplicable happenings. I was in the midst of sending e-mails of sheet music to our leading man - I'd done about six. As I clicked to send the seventh it wouldn't send. I went to AOL to see if there was some problem there, and it wouldn't load anything. I then looked at my wireless bars and they were OFF. I clicked and there was, for the first time ever, a lock icon next to my wireless network. I clicked on it, and it asked for a password. I gave it, for the first time ever, and it wouldn't unlock or take it. I tried unplugging the Airport Extreme, I tried restarting the computer, all to no avail. I then called Apple Care and they talked me through a few things that also didn't work. They were baffled so they switched me over to the Airport Extreme folks. They, too, were baffled. We changed the security that I was using, created a new password that would become part of my keychain so I wouldn't always have to type it in, but it still wouldn't connect. He then had me create a new "location" for the Airport Extreme and that did the trick, so hopefully we're fine from now on. That stuff really freaks me out.
-
And still, no one could explain exactly why the problem happened - the best guess is some sort of glitch.
-
Good Morning, Ginny! To answer your question from some time, yes, I broke my right ankle this time, so you and I could be a whole person (kind of like DRLaura and I each have half a brain: together we make up a whole brain).
Then why do you fall over more often?
-
Earlier, I mentioned problems with people at the publishers. I went around everyone to the gal who handled my very first book. She's quite high up in the company now, and within five minutes she'd been to the art department, ascertained they could indeed print the cover from what we sent them, moved the process along so I was called today to get my design call scheduled (previously that was going to happen four weeks from now) - that call will now happen Thursday, so I'm guessing that I'll have a galley late next week, plus cover proofs. Once those are approved, that process is done and test books will come to me, so I could conceivably have books in hand within five to six weeks. So, I think I'm going to have the Kritzerland web designer add the book to the site and get it available for preorder late next week. As I've mentioned, I think everyone will really like the little "surprise" that's going to come with the first thirty copies preordered - I may up that to forty copies if the first thirty go really fast.

If the little surpise is that Sean McDermott is going to hand deliver my copy; please let me know in advance so that I can pick up some wine and candles. He will need both!

Good Evening!
I'm home. And I'm still contemplating a nap, but, for now...
-
Had a lovelier than lovely visit with Mr. Nick Redman, and then we went and had some lunch at Vivian's Cafe - I had my usual chicken salad sandwich with bacon and cheese, and NO fries, just some slaw, and he had some scrambled eggs.
So... The next time you have lunch there, you should have a grilled chicken sandwich. Preferably on some type of whole grain bread. No bacon. No cheese. However, feel free to add some lettuce and some salmonella-free tomato slices. ;)
-
If the little surpise is that Sean McDermott is going to hand deliver my copy; please let me know in advance so that I can pick up some wine and candles. He will need both!
-So that he can have something to drink, as well as something to read his book by so as not to disturb you while you're sleeping?
-
-Even I'm not sure that that made any sort of sense.

Now, if he were to bring one of those old-fashioned chianti bottles, the empty bottle could always be used as a candle holder.

I read it all, the complete short (Dobie Gillis) story, LOVE IS A FALLACY. (http://www.accd.edu/sac/english/gburton/love%20is%20a%20fallacy.htm)
-
What's the book, DR Jane?
Not a book, one short story. See my last post. To top it off, I unfortunately didn't notice in time the same person chose this same short story several years ago. The first discussion was torture enough. ;D
I still had fun at the meeting.
-
*And just remember: Would you be OK with someone - or a slew of someones - posting your picture/image/movie/show all over the place without your pemission and/or knowledge? And suppose you had written a script or a song, would you want that to be "shared" with everyone without any sort of monetary renumeration?
I'm trying to understand both sides. And in DR Edi's case i get it.
But i guess to me since these clips are available already online for free, i don't really see the harm. The more people that watch this the better publicity for the show.
-Besides, I'm sure there is some sort of not too complicated work around to see the clips on MTV's US website on your side of the border. ;)
I have thought of this. The only thing i can think of is if the mtv website thinks my computer is in the US. I'm sure this is not hard. But alas i am not computer literate enough in this way to know what to do.
:(
-
I believe you've gotten several reasonable and rational responses. Whether you accept them or not is up to you. My recommendation, however, is to contact the management of youtube and ask them why they took the clips down rather than belabor the point here where no one can help you.
I did actually look into this.
But a) i don't have an account there.
and b) they do not make it easy to make a request like this.
They have a bunch of contact issues that are specific. And you are supposed to clip on one of them. They make it quite easy to report a problem or violation. But not to ask a question.
-
DR JENNIFER a protest about a clip would be about that particular clip on YOU TUBE and not ALL clips on the same subject or with the same material.
Since the poster lost ALL of her/his clips, he probably had been warned at least once and asked to remove the clips, and when that didn't happen, action was taken.
Most of the material from movies/tv/stage on YOUTUBE belongs to somebody, or many somebodies....and those broadcast rights are controlled and protected.
I think you are right. That someone protests a specific video and that person's account gets suspended.
The thing i didn't get (and still don't get) is the people who would have found issue with these videos would have found issue with others that are basically exactly same.
My guess now is actually that perhaps the person got in trouble for a different video and it is just their whole account that got removed.
Thanks for all the help.
I am new to youtube. And am just figuring this all out!
-
I don't watch any of the shows Jennifer watches, so I'm not bothered by the clips disappearing from YouTube.
It was just one show, the MTV show THE SEARCH FOR ELLE WOODS.
-
My 2 year old niece likes to listen to the OBC recording of THE LITTLE MERMAID when she goes to bed!
(DR Jose's post made me think of this).

so you and I could be a whole person (kind of like DRLaura and I each have half a brain: together we make up a whole brain).
;D
We are in a one story house & plan to only live on one level from now on. It is easier on the dogs as they age and on our bodies. I remember breaking my ankle years ago. The boys were at camp and Keith was traveling for work. I could only manage one trip downstairs a day to the kitchen. I was very hungry.
-
But i guess to me since these clips are available already online for free, i don't really see the harm.
The more people that watch this the better publicity for the show.I have thought of this.
DR JENNIFER - Again, it is illegal to post any sort of copyrighted material on any sort of website. Someone found the "illegal content" and took it down. The clips on MTV's website are supposed to be exclusive to MTV's website - they are the property of MTV. -It's just like when some sites do not allow "hot-linking" to their pictures and video content.
And as for publicity... MTV - nor the producers of Legally Blonde: The Musical - seem to be doing much publicity for the show - at least not here in NYC. No show on MTV ever garners that many ratings points. Any extra "free" publicity seems negligible to me. However, I do know that the Tuesday after Laura Belle Bundy's last performance, the "winner" will be starting her run as Elle Woods. -Sadly(?), I suspect they may end up editing the MTV show to make it look like the girl learned the whole show in the span of a week or less, when, in fact, she's basically been in training and in rehearsal for almost two months now.

re: californication
I've never seen it.
It only airs here on the movie network, which i don't get.

One episode was all I could stand and stopped watching. Really not my kind of show at all.
I had the chance to review the first season of DVDs and turned that down, too.
Ours friends lent us their NetFlix and said we must watch all the episodes on it. She had wanted to stop after the first one & only continued because he enjoyed it. I didn't expect to like it & only watched because I like Duchovney. His character becomes more endearing with each episode, IMHO.

I guess i sound slightly idiotic. I'm not meaning to. :)
My point was that half of what is on youtube falls into the same category. And i still don't see why only one person's videos would be removed but not all the others (re: the show).
I really thought that you were allowed to post small clips. Since that is all i see on youtube.

It was just one show, the MTV show THE SEARCH FOR ELLE WOODS.
No, Jennifer. I don't watch any of the shows you regularly post spoilers for. They don't entertain me, and don't inspire me.
Iron Chef America entertains and inspires me.
Doctor Who entertains and inspires me.
Good Eats entertains and inspires me.
Ugly Betty entertains. Pushing Daisies entertains. Eli Stone entertains.
Lost entertains. Heroes entertains, even though I lost track about half-way through the second season due to my work schedule and will have to wait for the DVD set to come out in order to catch up.
Next Food Network Star is kind of entertaining. That's the closest to anything like the competitions you regularly watch. Right now I'm rooting for Aaron to win (I think that's his name). But the end result isn't going to change my world in any way. It's just another competition. (Interesting to note, only two of the contestants from the previous seasons have really made any kind of mark in the broadcasting world... and one of them lost on NFNS and instead got picked up by another network!)

Since my chicken salad sandwich WAS my meal o' the day, no, I, in fact, will lose weight. I'll have my jog, and, as I've said, I'm counting calories and fat grams. The only fat grams are in the tiny bit of mayo they use in their chicken salad, and the calories are well under 1000. So, there you are. I will, in fact, have to have a snack later because I really don't want to eat less than 12 to 1400 calories per day.

Whatever I'm doing is working, as the pounds are going away now. About six of them so far.
-
That's great you are loosing the weight. I still wish you wouldn't eat the bacon. Since the restaurant uses very little mayo, unlike most places, do they also buy "healthy" bacon? Is there such a thing?

(For your reference, one of those cello-wrapped slices of American Cheese is usually 120-140 calories - most of which are from fat.) And surely you have to know that bacon has fat in it too? And was the slaw mayo free too?
;)
*And I really think you should at least have two meals a day. One of them being breakfast of some sort. Even if it's just a piece of fruit and/or a cup of yogurt. Your body needs to be replenished after a night of sleep.

Strawberries, watermelon or other low fat fruit makes a good evening snack.

Or a good morning snack.

DR Jennifer - FYI: Laura Bell Bundy to Leave Legally Blonde on July 20; New Elle to Be Named July 21 (http://www.theatermania.com/content/news.cfm/story/13642)
thanks very much. I appreciate you finding the date!
-
It is on Showtime. TNT is included in our programing but we have to pay extra for HBO & Showtime, which we don't do.
Showtimes is another we don't get.
We get something called Showcase.
All the HBO shows are here on the movie network.
It didn't used to be such a pain. But now that more and more shows are on these stations (and USA), i find i am missing a lot of the ones i would like to see.
-
I gotta ask....Do you think this was a healthy meal or did you blow off your diet for the day?
I think it depends on your diet. to you bacon and cheese may be thought of as really unhealthy. But if you're only looking for carbs it is devine! :)
Actually what he ate probably would work on my diet other than the bread.

...However, I do know that the Tuesday after Laura Belle Bundy's last performance, the "winner" will be starting her run as Elle Woods. -Sadly(?), I suspect they may end up editing the MTV show to make it look like the girl learned the whole show in the span of a week or less, when, in fact, she's basically been in training and in rehearsal for almost two months now.
Jose makes an important point here. Many of these shows have been filmed/taped months in advance. They are not broadcast live. The "liveness" is an illusion, created by the show's host (and often the contestants) speaking directly to the camera, which generates the effect that they are speaking directly to the audience. They are not. They are speaking to the guys working in the control booth and the editing room.
There's also a great amount of attention given by the producers of these shows to creating "personas" for the contestants. I remember during that Grease contest that they kept referring to the girls as the "perky" Sandy, or the "dark haired" Sandy, and so on. (Der Brucer insisted on watching. He enjoys the occasional train wreck, he also watched Hells Kitchen, what can I say. ::)) This is audience manipulation, and rather base in my opinion, reminiscent of They Shoot Horses, Don't They.
My bet is that, after Laura Belle Bundy leaves Legally Blonde, even with the contest for her replacement, the show's days nights will be numbered.
-
I just finished the Act Two critical notes; so tomorrow I'm back to Toyland for some work on theedition, and I'll get to Act Three probably on Thursday.
I'm very tired.
-
I have always thought of bacon as one of those terribly unhealthy foods & have avoided it for over 30 years. I know there are now better versions of hot dogs, does the same go for bacon?
-
That's great you are loosing the weight. I still wish you wouldn't eat the bacon. Since the restaurant uses very little mayo, unlike most places, do they also buy "healthy" bacon? Is there such a thing?
There is turkey "bacon". Some people love it.
-
SWW are you planning on taking some driving lessons, or a driving course for seniors?
We haven't decided yet. I used to drive, oompityfratz years ago, so the big test will be in how much I remember.
Which pedal is the brake, which one is for the gas, that sort of thing.
;)
-
I watch Iron chef sometimes.
I love ugly betty. I love pushing daisies. I love eli stone.
I love lost. I love heroes. I love food network star.
You could have fooled me. You never post about them.
-
I've got dinner to prepare. Tonight this means shelling and steaming shrimp, cooking angel hair pasta, and chopping up some of the tasty veg that we got at the Farmer's Market for a light, tasty meal.
I'm thinking of using the shells for making a broth to go with the pasta. Last time, der Brucer found the dish wonderfully tasty but a bit dry.
-
Thank you SWW, & you answered in spite of my teasing you. ;)

I once didn't drive for close to two years & asked Keith to go out with me the first time. We only had one car and went most places together. I never cared about driving so I didn't think much about it. I finally realized I should drive more often. ;D

re: my foot problem from 2+ weeks ago when my foot ballooned.
It is a lot better than it was. I can walk on it no problem.
But i'm still finding it is sore to the touch. And it is bruising easily. I tried putting a sock on today for the first time since then. And it was not good.
I can't figure out if it's just because my foot is still delicate. Or if the problem was more severe than i thought. But it seems odd to me that it is still bruising when i wear certain shoes (barefoot). :(
-
re: lost, heroes, pushing daisies, eli stone, next food network star, ugly betty
You could have fooled me. You never post about them.
I'm sure most of the tv addicts here know i post about those shows.
Although some like (heroes and pushing daisies) have not been on forever.
And next food network star (and top chef) air here weeks later. So i do not get to post about them (we are just starting both seasons).
But i posted a ton about lost. And about ugly betty and eli stone. Love those 3 so much.
Right now it's summer and none of those shows are on.

My 2 year old niece likes to listen to the OBC recording of THE LITTLE MERMAID when she goes to bed!
(DR Jose's post made me think of this).
Yes, a lot of Jose's posts make me think of mermaids.

I certainly wish Jrand was here so I could ask him who is stuck up Uranus. It seems like a lot of people are being exceptionally nasty today.

One small slice of cheese, thin. Two strips of bacon total (there really isn't all that much fat in bacon - I've checked, and not many calories at all). They don't lard on the chicken salad - very reasonable portion on white toast. Mayo free slaw. My guess is that the calorie count was around six or seven hundred, if that, and maybe twenty grams of fat (I can eat up to thirty and always lose weight).
Contrast the above with a foot-long Subway club - much bigger sandwich, roast beef, oil and vinegar, provolone cheese, etc. Calorie count for that sandwich is 625.

Back from an errand, and a two-mile jog on a new route.

Probably a little of both, more severe than you thought & you are still sensitive. The bruising doesn't surprise me. I'm very sensitive to bruising if I tie my shoe laces too tight.
Until this heals I suggest avoiding aspirin, or anything else that might encourage bruising.
-
As for the quality being too good, well, that's a possibility. His clips could have also been flagged due to the number of views he was getting.
As for why or why not a clip gets taken down, well... ???
And as for pleading to AEA (Equity), you will also have to plead your case to the stagehands union, the musicians union, the dressers union, and so on and so forth.
I'm sorry that MTV Canada is not carrying the show, but, alas, that's what you get for living in Canada. ;)
*And just remember: Would you be OK with someone - or a slew of someones - posting your picture/image/movie/show all over the place without your pemission and/or knowledge? And suppose you had written a script or a song, would you want that to be "shared" with everyone without any sort of monetary renumeration?
-Besides, I'm sure there is some sort of not too complicated work around to see the clips on MTV's US website on your side of the border. ;)
The official MTV site for the show has all the auditions and I think you can watch the episodes there.
-
We're back from our dinner outing with my mother, who was very glad to get away from the retirement community for a while. We stopped in to visit my aunt who will released Thursday from the transitional care unit (between hospital and home) at the same community. We'll see how independent she's ready to be. My mother cannot keep up looking after herself and her 10-year-younger sister.
-
DR Jennifer, the simple answer is if they wanted to prosecute you could go to prison for violating copyright law. I have a client who was prosecuted for selling copies of computer programs on eBay. There was a brief time when the government went after people downloading and sharing music.
There are groups out there who monitor what is being sold, posted etc. If someone is profiting, then they may be looking at prosecution. If not, then they will sometimes be stopped.
Having the work out there without anyone paying for the right to show it would be like going to work everyday and not being paid because the people you come in contact with want whatever it is you do for free. I'm sure there are many who would think that's a great deal
-
...the people you come in contact with want whatever it is you do for free. I'm sure there are many who would think that's a great deal
Sounds like people who call the library for legal or medical advice and get upset when we tell them they need to contact an attorney or physician. I've actually had someone say, "But they'll charge me money - can't you tell me for free?"
We even look up phone numbers for people who are too cheap to call directory assistance.

What's to contrast?
Both sandwiches seem to be in the 600-700 calorie range.

I think all the good job vibes helped! :)
Well, I had my first day on the new job. Since it has a lot to do with loans & mortgages, I am not quite up to par with the lingo but am catching on somewhat. I am very much overwhelmed in the brain but hopefully things will start sinking in in the next couple of days or by end of the week. The people there are very nice and very patient with me and don't get upset with me when I have a lot of questions, that's a good thing! Had a 5 hour training and then listened in to calls for 3 hours.
-
Glad the good job vibes worked, DR Julie
-
I better go. I have to drive about an hour to do an immigration law talk at 7:30 AM. YIKES!!! I've done a similar talk 2-3 times already so I just have to brush up my outline, but I better do that and get some sleep.
Night
-
Hello ! I'm all caught up with today... now what do I remember?
-
Hmmm maybe I should try and get the Vixter to Legally Blonde before the 20th... although that may be difficult as the transmission man has taken all my money away
-
I do love my car though and I am so happy I have it back
-
Continued healing Vibes to Ginny, Kerry, TCB and Laura

Edi, now you are only one degree away in the Kevin Bacon game!(does that make al lof the rest of us #2?)

Bruce... the Vixter wants to know if she can get her copy of the book by the 12th of August... for on the plane reading y'know!
She said it wold be good advertising with all the people in the airport! LOL ;D

Since you are an attorney, just a question, if someone checks out CD's from a public library and downloads it to their own collection but doesn't sell any of those things, just keeps for their own collection is all, is that considered illegal? Just curious.
-
Edi thanks for the Click & Clack info.. we waste a perfectly good hour every Saturday listening to them

Congrats onthe new job Julie... I close mortgage loans for a living... are youworling for a mortgage broker or a mortgage banker? Will you be selling or processing or closing loans?

DR Vixmom, Well, I'm called a HOPE Specialist, I'm still learning what that is exactly. It is for Wilshire Financial Services in Oregon. I know we help with possible payment arrangements on mortgages and such. Just my first day and I have no experience in this area but they are willing to train.

Probably, but no one is going to do anything about it if you don't share it or try to profit from it. That's not a legal opinion, though.
*There always has to be a disclaimer with this sort of statement

Well, I'm off to bed even though it's early. My wee lil' brain is tired from all the inputting of new info today! :) Goodnight, everyone!

And I just wanted to be like DR Jose and use an asterick
*Aren't they so cute!

WOW! There was a tanker truck/Prius accident on TV. The Prius was under the truck, but the driver only had scratches etc. That's reassuring

Ok, time to do my work.

AHHH So you are the REAL Closer
I stand in need of some good editing however!

Laura thank you for the VBS pictures...they bring back good memories to me as well

Well I have to be at Walmart at 7 in the morning to buy some soccer cleats so beddy bye from me!

I forgot foot healing vibes for FJL ....
-
FOOT HEALING VIBES FOR FJL!!!
-
Hi, DR Vixmom!
Ginny... are you still goingt obe anble to make your NYC trip in September after your foot injury?
August 27-September 1 (Labor Day weekend + Wednesday-Friday before). Yes, we'll be there! I have made a lot of progress in the past week and should be at least 80% by the end of August. Probably no long walking tours with Jose, though, and we'll no doubt use more transit than usual. We'll see...
And, for disclosure's sake, this was elective surgery (just a shade more serious than cosmetic) not an injury. It was really an investment to keep my foot from looking and feeling in 30 years like my mother's does now.
-
Thunderstorm's coming...bye 'til tomorrow!
-
Had a nice evening of viewing.
I began by finishing up STEP UP 2 THE STREETS' bonus features. There really wasn't much left. 6 music videos that together ran about 22 minutes. A video prank ran 2 minutes, and some Easter eggs I stumbled on ran about 1 1/2 minutes each.
-
Next I watched another CLOSER episode - the (hopefully) Emmy nominated "Man Hunt" that is so wonderful. It's probably the episode from season 3 that I rewatched the most when I originally recorded it before deleting it from the DVR.
I think it's a very strong episode for Kyra with many different situations to showcase her talents.
-
Next I watched THE NIGHT THEY RAIDED MINKSY'S. I'd never seen this all the way through, and though it's kind of a mess in construction and execution, there's some good stuff in there, and I did basically like it. Sad to see Bert Lahr so feeble (he died during production).
-
And I ended my evening by pulling ELAINE STRITCH AT LIBERTY off the shelf and watching it. Well, I only got 2/3 of it watched. There's still about 20 minutes to go. Nice to see it again after not watching it for a couple of years.
-
Tomorrow I'll be watching that indie film from 2002 SECRETARY which has just been released on DVD from Lionsgate. Yes, it's a review copy. The DVD comes out next Tuesday.
-
All alone; I'm so all alone. . . .
-
Page Thirteen Dance!!!
-
I was up very late last night, so I'm heading down now to bed.
Good night!
-
Auditions are over - one of the people is a possibility, but I'm going to look for a couple more days before making the decision.
-
Now I have to decide about something to eat, as 700 calories is not enough for me.
-
And, for disclosure's sake, this was elective surgery (just a shade more serious than cosmetic) not an injury. It was really an investment to keep my foot from looking and feeling in 30 years like my mother's does now.
I saw that foot today in the footwashing lesson on one of the older ladies today. You are wise to have the surgery now.

Back from a quick meal at Hugo's. I was actually quite hungry, as my jog today was at full speed and went a little longer than usual. Plus, I'd only eaten that pretty small sandwich for lunch. So, I had Papa's Eggs - scrambled eggs and turkey sausage and scallions - very tasty, very reasonable portion (definitely not more than two eggs), and a little fruit on the side - no bread. It was just right.
-
I see people, but I don't see posts.
-
I really liked my Papa's Eggs.
-
I was up getting my mail this afternoon and I decided to jog there instead of my usual route. Since I didn't know distances there, I did what I thought was similar, but it, in fact, was longer. It was fun to switch up the nabe - lots of new things to look at, plus I really put some speed in the jog today for the first time since I started jogging again.
-
I must say, people have finally moved in to the house to the north of me and they are a complete bunch of guttersnipe lowlifes. They hang out outside a lot (perhaps their place isn't air-conditioned). My guess is that someone inherited the house, since it was never up for sale. They hang out, talk loud, guffaw, and unfortunately they do this on the side of their house that is next to my bedroom. Thankfully, they seem to migrate inside by eleven.
-
Well, no one can say we didn't get to page thirteen.
-
Dear Reader Laura leaves without so much as a post. Will JMK do the same?

I may leave without a post, especially if I leave my post here and I don't take it with me.

You can't take it with you.

JMK left without so much as a post.

And now George is sitting there like so much fish.

What am I doing up so late? Still ruminating over the experience of having seen TITLE OF SHOW tonight. I suspect struggling theater writers will find it hilarious, insightful and disturbing; I have no idea how people who have no interest in being in the world of theatre will relate to it. But I will say that the much-minimized-by-some production values are no less elaborate than many other shows for which I've paid close to $100 a ticket, and I suspect that whatever the "official" ticket price is, very few people are paying anywhere near that. They must label the ticket $110 to get $47.50; one of the things producers must deal with in the 2000's. But the physical set is even more elaborate than that for Spring Awakening, Xanadu or A Chorus Line, let alone Equus and other plays, as far as this scenically-untrained eye can see.
-
Maybe I'll go post those very same thoughts elsewhere and see if it starts a little tumult.
-
And now George is sitting there like so much fish.
I'm ketchuping. My family (parents, visiting aunts, etc.) got together at my sister's house and we all played Phase 10, but I got there late. I watched for a while and when my mom decided to read the paper, I took over for her. I did not win at all. My sister made a strawberry dessert and it was very good. After the game was over, my mom and my two aunts wanted to go to the casino...again. They've gone several times and just love it. They only play the penny slots, so they're never dealing with much money, but they just love it.
-
Since my dad came to my sister's with my mom and his sisters, I had to drive him home and install an under-the-counter CD player for my mom. It was fairly easy to do and it all worked. After that, I installed a new kitchen faucet. Taking out the old faucet was a pain (as usual), but putting in the new one was very easy.
