Well, you've read the notes, the notes minced about like so much fish, and now it is time for you to post until the mincing cows come home.

And the word of the day is: INDURATE!

And now - Dino at the piano.

Topid of the Day: the only cold pasta dishes that I can think of (at this moment) that I've had have been store-bought macaroni salads...usually with a bit too much mayo, but still they've tasted good. :) I just don't think I've had anything that special or fancy.
-
bk, thanks for the tuna pasta recipe! :) It saved me from trying to dig through the OLD archives.
-
I'm not a fan of tuna. :P
-
A new tome in the Artemis Fowl series today, for those that enjoy it...
-
That's OK, DR George. Tuna still likes you anyway. :)
-
bk, how many ounces of tuna... one of those cat-food sized cans?
-
Yes, the cat-food sized can - the one that has app. 175 calories.
-
bk's Tuna Pasta Salad is, of course, not to be confused with bk's Wacky Noodles.
-
The trick for bk will be maintaining his current strict regimen whilst traveling to and staying in NYC.

I was looking at the column archives and noticed a missing entry about three days ago - there was just an empty space. So, I went back to where I type in the notes and looked and sure enough I hadn't put the title of the notes in the proper place - ADO. So, I fixed that and now it's there. So, I scrolled down to see if there were any other instances of that, and sure enough I found a hole for an entry last year - it took me a while to find it in the board archives (which is the only place I'd have the title reference), but I found it and fixed that one, too. Now I'm going to go back and look through the entire column archive, because I think we had a couple of these a long time ago and neither Bakalor nor I could figure out why there'd be an empty hole instead of the link to a column - now I know, so I can fix them so our archive is completely complete.

Gratuitous Post #13.

The trick for bk will be maintaining his current strict regimen whilst traveling to and staying in NYC.
Luckily, it's a short trip - the food part will be easy, but the running part won't - although I'll try to get up really early on Friday and Saturday to get some sort of run in. If not, I'll have three days off from running and I'll be very good, food-wise. There simply won't be enough time to pig out.
-
And on that note (A-flat), I'm off to bed. Good night, BK and Singdaw.
-
May you have a restful night, DR George!
-
May you have a restful night, DR George!
Thank you, and you, too...unless you're just getting up? Either way, have a good day. :)

Indurate was the Ambassador of the alien planet Rylos in Last Starfighter
(or was that Enduran? I get so confused when an opportunity to plug Last Starfighter comes up.)
-
George - I'm shocked that I forgot to mention Jessica Skerritt as well, since she just did our workshop of Last Starfighter not six weeks ago (spoo, was that another plug???)
-
PLUG is GULP spelled backwards, for those who didn't know.

And the word of the day is: INDURATE!
Many people do not know that the original draft of "Hard-Hearted Hannah, the Vamp of Savannah" was actually INDURATE Hannah. But it didn't have the right number of syllables.

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up.... And I'm about to head out, but I'll be back... And then I shall need to head out again, but, again, I will be back... And so on and so forth...

Good morning, all! I'm listening to the score of this NYMF show I've been asked about doing. It's quite nice. I like the singers, and I wonder who they may be.
Yesterday, I got a lovely note from Miss Kim Criswell about how well the chart I did went over, and I'm thinking about traveling out to Long Island on Saturday to hear the rehearsal of the new chart I did for Daniel Rodriguez. It's from 2-5 and I could be back to the City by 8 pm.
DR SWoodyWhie, I also add my appreciation for your acting as secretary on the "Name Game." Thank you.
Today, more Dillngham corrrspondence at the NYPL Rare Books and Manuscripts Division. I'll head over around 10:30 or so. I need to read the NYMF scrip[t this morningand begin this chart for Kip Wilborn.
First, more coffee.

bk's Tuna Pasta Salad is, of course, not to be confused with bk's Wacky Noodles.
Which are not to be confused with Whacky Noodles, those long, tubular, plastic swimming toys sold at good stores everywhere (like the supermarket where I work).

re: BIG BROTHER
DR RonP, re: the comment i made yesterday asking if you were doing live feed spoilers. I actually didn't mean the feeds. I meant if you were reading the spoilers. I don't watch the feeds either. Just read.
My favorite site is Dingo's hamsterwatch. He updates a few times a day. But only a few paragraphs. He is great.
http://www.hamsterwatch.com
For a more detailed description of what is going on i like television without pity (the live feed discussion thread). Just go to the end.

In the notes, our esteemed BK included the following ingredients:
1 pound of large elbow macaroni
Mayonnaise (Best Foods ONLY)
1 can Bumble Bee all-white tuna in water (or any brand you like – but in water)
1 red onion
Silly BK probably doesn't remember that Best Foods is not sold as Best Foods east of the Rockies. On this side of the continental divide, it is known as Hellman's.
Yes, we sell Hellman's at the store.
But I've been known to make my own mayo. By hand.
It's simple: whisk an egg yolk with a whisk until it's nice and sunny yellow, add a little salt and vinegar (or lemon juice), and then ever so slowly whisk in a cup or so of oil, just a drop or three at a time at first, until everything is emulsified. (What kind of oil you use greatly affects the flavor of the mayo.)
Add some garlic to the mayo while you're whisking, and you've got aioli.
But stick with the Hellman's/Best Foods for BK's Tuna Pasta Salad recipe. They not only bring out the best, but they also have more air whipped into them, which alters the taste.
I'd whip in that much air, but my arm gets worn out too soon.
-
A very simple recipe for cold pasta:
Cook up some pasta, preferably a small type such as penne. Cool it down. Add pesto (store-bought is fine) and some chopped black olives. Finish with a little freshly grated Parmesan Regiano cheese (not the stuff from the green can, but the type you grate yourself).
-
From Yesterday by JMK, "As a former manager of a couple of temp services, I can tell you there's nothing more dreaded than the client calling and saying, "Please replace....". Usually you're home free if you make it past the first day QC (Quality Control in temp service lingo) and then end of first week QC calls."
I hadn't even been put on the phones yet so they didn't have the chance to hear me handle a call. Interesting, huh?
-
Thanks for that info. I did not remember that Best Foods was the same as Hellman's (which is what i use). Although i prefer the light blue one (i think it's called low fat).
I don't really eat cold pasta salads.
But i make a very easy tuna casserole recipe called EASY TUNA CASSEROLE, which is so good.
You cook egg noodles (more than 1/2 a package). I then in a wok mix 1 or 2 cans of tuna, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, a bunch of cheese slices, and some frozen veggies. I add the noodles when they are cooked. You mix it up and in 10 minutes the whole dish is ready!
(btw this quantity would be enough for quite a few people to eat). The reason i make so much is because the whole can of soup is really enough for 4+ people.
-
I have never tried to make mayo. That sounds very easy. Maybe i will try it!

And the word of the day is: INDURATE!
Which, in anagram, is URINATED.
But I don't really feel like using that in a sentence, and nothing is going to change my mind.
-
Good morning everyone!!!! It's been a while since I've been on, but it's really good to be back. For a comment any way. Well, first things first, I guess i have to say somthing about the MINCING TUNA, so I LOVE TUNA, but pasta and i are age old enemies. Just ask Vixmom, she knows. Also, Mr. Bruce, I was listening to the Last Starfighter CD (GOD I love that Father to Son song, it's so evil, it's great!) and I was wondering if you knew who was the person who played Zur on the CD. Because that man resally sounds evil, he should be like a bad guy's voice actor.
-
Many vibes from Chelsea to Australia for Dear Friend Tom and Colin.
Too busy at work to pop in much but you're in our thoughts.
-
vixter - I'll tell Skip that you like that song from the Last Starfighter CD. the guy singing the song as Zur is Bernardo de Paula.
(oops, there goes another Starfighter plug :) )
-
This might be a dumb question.
But re: making mayo.
I just remembered why i had never made it myself. Because of the raw eggs.
I think i've asked this before (in reference to another recipe). But is it okay for everyone to eat raw eggs (that are in the homemade mayo)?
-
The eggs should be as fresh as you can get, of course. And get them from a reputable source.
There are pasteurized egg products out there, as well, but I don't know how good your results will be, since I've never tried them.
-
(oops, there goes another Starfighter plug :) )

I always just get them from the local grocery store.
I guess with the raw eggs, the mayo probably only lasts for a day or two.

I'm trying to think what i have on tv tonight.
I know i have:
Canadian Idol results show
Hell's kitchen (here they showing the celeb UK version, and i have no idea when this is from).
Big Brother

Tuesday morning greetings! Richard is at a nearby church teaching their Bible study. He's going to do some errands and then pick me up for today's
workover blood test.
-
Good morning!
Summertime, and the livin' is not easy in the South: it's HOT. (To be fair, it was a little cooler this morning than it has been in the past few days, but that won't last long.)
-
It's 7:30 a.m., 86 degrees, and 57 percent humidity. I had a lovely, but slow, hike this morning.
-
Plug away, DR FJL! All of the rest of us do, so why not you?
;D
-
Some of us plug, plug - and some of us gulp, gulp! :)

[sigh] I had a rude realization this morning that I'm running behind on these Criterion reviews. Due to the middle man in the arrangement of sending the review copies, the review of MON ONCLE ANTOINE went up almost a week late!
TRAFIC, which comes out in stores today, is next on my agenda, but it's two discs, and I'm going to have to work like a dog today to get all of it watched and written up to make street date. Thankfully, the film itself is not very long. It would have helped if I had seen it before. With MY ONCLE ANTOINE, I could get the review started before spinning the disc because I had seen the movie before in an international cinema class I took.
Not so with TRAFIC (though I do know it's the last of the Hulot films).
-
Some of us plug, plug - and some of us gulp, gulp! :)
PLEASE! This is a family site!
:-*
-
The All-Star baseball game is on TV tonight.
So is BIG BROTHER and an NCIS rerun (I believe they're nearing the end of last season).
-
My mom called last night with the delightful news that my sister and her husband are coming to visit tomorrow. That means that Mom and "her girls" will get to go see Mamma Mia! together Friday or Saturday :D

Are you sure you have any left?????

Good Morning, once again!
I'm back.
I headed on down earlier to Chelsea to get my hair cut. It had been about six weeks since my last cut, and even though there was a time in my "youth" when I actually wore my hair long(er), I really don't like it long(er) now - especially in the summer. When I walked in, the barber gave me that, "You haven't been here in a while," look, and then stated that fact out loud. I got settled into his chair - "1 on the sides, 3 on the top" - and about 20 minutes later... Aaaahhh... :)
-

Yesterday! Oh well.
And I got my copy of the new Movie Magazine SCARLET that has three film reviews by yours truly - I don't see any other HHW'ers represented in the column, but that may be an oversight.

Cart wrangling should be pleasant today. It's nice and sunny, with a predicted high of 75.

Glad you got your copy, how does it look? My article/interview was cut from this issue, but should run in issue # 2. I need remember to contact them to order # 1.

After getting my hairs cut, I headed up to Ripley-Grier to briefly(!) meet up with a young woman I had worked with a couple of years ago. Actually, she was still a "girl" when I worked with her. She was playing "Young Eleanor" in Eleanor: An American Love Story at Ford's Theatre back in 1999. Since then, I've actually seen her mother on a semi-regular basis since she part of the volunteer staff at SETCs, but I hadn't seen Emily since closing night at Ford's. Well...
Her mother told me a few days ago that Emily had been called in to audition for the role of Christine in The Phantom of the Opera. She had played the role last year during it's college/university premiere at Baldwin-Wallace College, and it happened that some of the staff from the Broadway production not only came in to see the production, but had also come in during rehearsals to provide some coaching. Apparently, there's an "immediate need" right now for the tour, and Emily got a call to come in. Of course, she's currently in the midst of a summer stock contract in New Hampshire, so it's been quite the scramble for her - and her mother - over the past 48 hours.
In short, she flew in last night, booked a warm-up room for this morning at 9:30, auditioned at 10:00, and then flies back to NH at Noon... Then goes into tech for Millie this afternoon. Whew!
I happened to make it up R-G just as she was finishing up her warm up. We had a very brief reunion, but we all ended up sharing an elevator with the music supervisor and the production manager on the way down to the studio, so that was nice.
I would have stayed to listen to her through the door, but I had a feeling I would have been a distraction. -And since they were have an open call for The Little Mermaid today, there were lots of actors and actresses walking the halls looking stressed and emitting stress. ;)
But it was great to see her again, albeit briefly, and, I hope that by now she's already in a cab heading back to LGA to catch her flight back to NH.

Hi, Jack!!!

BK, I think your answer to who dubbed Mr. Steve Reeves is in my interview with Tony Russel, which was in an issue of VIDEOWATCHDOG last year. Mr. Russel was quite involved with dubbing over in Italy, as well as starring in assorted sci-fi and sword and sandal movies.

I'm heading down now to check the mail and then start thinking about lunch for today.

DR MBARNUM the issue looks fine.....lots interesting things. I particularly like the article on the Grammercy Pictures releases from Levy-Garder-Laven, by Lelia Lobhan which is continued in the NEXT issue.

DearReaderLaura DR, I am hoping that your new tag quote is not referring to DR Kerry's new purple cast!
-
Hello DR JOSE....wow that girl is BIZZY!!
And that was not even the half of it...
She's currently the dance captain for the company she's working for in NH. On Friday, she was informed that the actress playing the Mistress in Evita was withdrawing from the show due to illness. She was asked to step into the role - even though she had not ever rehearsed it. Of course, since she was the featured tango dancer, she then had to reblock all the dances in the show. -And she had to do all of that and deal with making all the arrangements to get to NYC on Friday afternoon! She went on as the Mistress that night, and then still had to prepare her track in Millie the following day.
-
Are you sure you have any left?????
Time will tell, DR Laura. My morning motto is: "Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate."
-
My mistake, BK, that Steve Reeves dubbing info is in my upcoming interview with another actor who worked in Italy. I just looked at my draft and the actor he mentions as dubbing Reeves, at least in one film, is Frank Lattimore. I know there was was one other dubber for Steve Reeves as well, but do not recall the name.
If things work out, in the near future I will be interviewing many of the men and women who dubbed over in Italy. It is a subject that has always interested me.

As for the Topic of the Day...
I used to make some variation of a cold orzo - the pasta that looks like rice - salad.
The basic version basically involves cooking the orzo until it's done, draining, and cooling; then adding a briefly cooked/blanched package of frozen peas and carrots. *And to save time, you can even cook the peas and carrots at the same time you cook the orzo - just add it during the last few minutes of cooking time. Then dress the whole thing with bottled Italian dressing.
For fancier versions, I've toasted part of the orzo in a dry skillet to give it a little color. I think my favorite combination now involves adding dried cranberries, chopped hazelnuts, crumbled ricotta salata (or feta cheese), some mache and a light dressing of red wine vinegar and olive oil.

There isn't anything on the television schedule for tonight that makes my heart zing.
That's fine by me. I've been re-viewing a lot of Disney and Pixar DVDs of late. I haven't done any real writing for quite some time, and that commentary about communities and individuals as seen in Pixar films is the best idea I've had for writing in a long time.
Of course, I don't have any idea where I'd publish it, but that's besides the point.

I suppose I'm up. Skies are blue, I am tired. Thus spake Zarathustra.

Re-watching the Disney films is for a point of comparison, of course.
Strictly as research.

JulieC, I'm not sure if you misunderstood me or I misunderstood you, but the QC call is between the temp service and the client. You need to check with them to see if everything's "working out." On a temp-to-hire situation, the SOP is to check in the first day, and then at the end of the first week, and if everything's fine by the end of the first week, usually you're home free. What I bet happened is they weren't able to get through to whomever on your assignment on your first Friday, and then that scumbag (because that's obviously what they are, no?) called on Monday to complain and told them you needed to be replaced ASAP, hence your Staffing Coordinator showing up on your assignment, which is very unusual (at least it was back in the day).

Miss Karen, the area I live in never floods. But US 60 in Tempe flooded and was closed for several hours Sunday. Mostly it's the roads that cross the drainage washes that flood that people like to drive into.

TOD - my DN(dear niece) Laura, whom some of you met when she accompanied me to Jewish Thighs on Broadway, makes a fantastic tuna pasta salad. I think she uses the sea shell pasta. In her recipe, and BK's, I'd have to replace the onions with celery. Onions don't agree with me.
Richard is on his way home with lunch (a Subway tuna for me, natch), so I'm gonna sign off until we return from the torture chamber lab.

Thanks to all the DRs who have posted interesting pasta recipes today.

Yes, we love our recipe days - at one point someone was going to compile them or at least send me the links and I was thinking about doing an haineshisway.com cookbook.

Back from a rough two-mile jog - my legs are really sore right now, but I slogged through it, getting a few new ideas for my little short story.
-
I'll reiterate again, that since starting this diet and jogging routine I have not had one single evening of heartburn or acid reflux no matter how many onions or how much garlic or spicy food I consume. And you'll all be happy to know that despite my loathing of water, I've been drinking two bottles a day and I'm down to two Diet Cokes a day. I have never before only had two Diet Cokes in a day - always three to six, so that's a major thing, I should think.
-
So when are you planning on getting in line?
Thanks, David. Not for the assumption that I'm an idiot, but for the notion that I meet the age requirements!

I think the most important thing in any such regimen is positive reinforcement.
Good for you, Bruce! Keep it up!
That said, I commend you on breaking the "coke" habit, diet or otherwise. Diet Coke has caffeine, yes? Or do you get the non-caffeinated variety? Caffeine is the hardest addiction to break since it's such a pleasurable experience and, generally, not unhealthy.
Make notes of your changes in diet, mood and physiological changes. Those notes will be quite eye-opening as the weeks pass and they'll motivate you even further, IMO.

Oh, okay, I understand now. However, I had felt that it was not proper business etiquette to show up at my work place. They should have called me Friday night after work or if they didn't know till Monday, they could have left a message with someone for me to call them as soon as possible. I felt really humiliated because people were asking me where I was going and why I was packing up to leave.

Another interesting day in Rare Books and Manuscripts: I found a letter from producer Charles Dillingham to Victor Herbert that supports things in the newspaper reviews for THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER and highlights more shoddy research from the Fat Conductor of Limited Talent and Limitless Ego.

DR JMK - How will Zachary ever be happy again, now that he's tasted the good life? ;)

From Yesterday by JMK, "As a former manager of a couple of temp services, I can tell you there's nothing more dreaded than the client calling and saying, "Please replace....". Usually you're home free if you make it past the first day QC (Quality Control in temp service lingo) and then end of first week QC calls."
I hadn't even been put on the phones yet so they didn't have the chance to hear me handle a call. Interesting, huh?
I was very shocked to hear the job didn't work out & how it ended. Even more shocked how you were informed. I don't suppose they paid you for the entire day.
BEST OF JOB VIBES!!!

re: THE MOLE
For the first time, I decided to take the MOLE quiz at ABC.com (no spoilers from last night's show below).

DR Vixter, it is nice to see you posting.
DR Jennifer, I used to make my own mayo, it was light and very tasty. I rinse my eggs well with hot water before breaking them, when the eggs will be raw I also wash them with soap. I stopped making my own mayo because I enjoy Hellman's/Best Foods so much. If I had to use a different brand I would make my own again.

After reading your statement, Keith & I had to go wake up our slug of a dog and give him attention. He was very happy. Keith likes to take his dog collar off in the house, today Sherlock decided to take one end of it in his mouth and walk me around the house while I held the other end.

RE: HOW DO I SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE MARIA (the canadian search for the new Maria in the new toronto production of the Sound Of Music).
The show is okay. But there are so many things that could make it so much better. They keep getting rid of 2 at a time. Which i find to be a lot.
When you compare it to the Search for Elle woods show, i definitely prefer that one. At least there they are doing scenes from the show. Singing songs from the show.
On M? they are singing random songs that simon (the head judge) chooses. And they really tell us nothing about who would be good as maria. They don't do any scenes from the show (they do sing group numbers from the show, but it doesn't show us each one alone). They don't act with the other castmates who are already chosen.
And ALW is not there (he is coming next week), which should make things a lot better.
The weird thing is last night there was a B3. And the judges (and previous fan fav) was in the bottom. As was the larger girl.
So i knew they would keep their fav.
Surprisingly my fav is now one of the top contenders. She was in the bottom 2 or 3 weeks ago. But since her sing-off (the bottom girls sing off), she has been in the top every week.
And another girl who i don't think is right for the show, was in the top 3 last night (only 4 are left now).
Apparently the fans actually get to decide the winner (with 2 remaining). Before then the head judge can always keep their fav.
-

I love the hellman's light mayo i use. I just thought it would be healthier to make it myself.
You wash the actual inside part of the egg with soap?
As with fruits that have skins, before cutting through them. I wash the egg shells.
Making my own mayo was healthier, I'm just a fan of Hellman's. Keith uses the light stuff, I don't care for it. I rarely use it at home anymore except in egg salad. For sandwiches I spread soft avocado instead of mayo & it is very healthy.
-
I made some tuna pasta salad before I left to run errands. I used bow ties and added red onion, celery, and broccoli flowers.
-
From Kerry:
Why is it that everything has safety seals and protection caps (from aspirin to juice and milk), but candy and junk food do not?
;D ;D ;D
Keith said because they are sinful products, as are cigarettes and alcohol which also don’t have child proof seals. Of course, is there really such a thing as child proof? My children used to open those darn things for me when I couldn’t.

I began my afternoon of viewing with another BURN NOTICE. This was the one with Ayre Gross as the bureaucrat supposedly around to help Michael find out who burned him. Also is a kidnapped girl he and his team are trying to save. Excellent episode, one of the best of the season.
-
Keith's eye is very irritated, especially with the smoke blowing in from the California fires. He had a post-op appointment this morning and the vision is his right eye is now better than 20/20, distance that is. For close-up he needs to cover it and use the left eye to see. For distance vision only, he prefers not to wear any glasses

I am glad to hear that Keith's eye is doing well.

Then I watched Jacques Tati's TRAFIC. Unquestionably the weakest of his four Hulot films. Yes, there are some funny set pieces, but I found myself waiting inordinately long periods of time for them amid a lot of set-ups that did not have payoffs. And the flow from sequence to sequence was also poor.
-
DR Ron Pulliam...
To me, you will always be Younger Than Springtime...
:D
and gayer than laughter?
-
The first disc had the trailer and a couple of TV interviews done in the 1970s. One with Tati was in 1973 while one with four members of the cast was done in 1971 right after the film was released.
-
The second disc has a documentary by Tati's daughter on his career from music hall days to his international success with his Hulot films. I watched about a half hour of it and will finish it when I go downstairs. She's only just gotten to the first Hulot film.
-
I then skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. No gay boys (not expected back until Friday), but I caught a glimpse of what appeared to be the back of Luke's head in the previews for tomorrow.
-
Looks like I will have time to watch something fun tonight. I think it'll be THE BOURNE SUPREMACY on HD-DVD. I've watched the first and third in HD-DVD and now have the second one left to see in that format.
-
Thank you DR Laura.

This is Rothman here: I've finally decided to indulge Bruce and do my own posting.
I sent Bruce 5 more names late last night, which he didn't post. So I've taken matters into my own hands. I'll do my own posting from now on, and anyone is free to address their posts to me or e-mail me:
JoJo Starbuck---Olympic and pro figure skater, once married to Terry Bradshaw
Joe Stabile----Jerry Lewis's long time manager, and brother of bandleader Dick
John Salley---pro basketball player (Detroit Pistons), then a talk show host on ESPN
Jack Sanford---Early 60's baseball pitcher
Joe Scandore---Don Rickles' long time manager
This is the last time I will post more than one name at a time.

Hey, DR The Vixter! Nice to see you here - wonder if we'll get to see you and your mom in person in NYC when Richard and I are there Aug. 27-Sept 1?
Have you seen the new American Girl movie - Kit Kittridge? Remember, she's my favorite AG because she lives in Cincinnati?
-
QUESTION!1!1!!!! HOW DO I REPLY TO COMMENTS???? IS THERE A BUTTON OR SOMTHING, OR DO I JUST TYPE IN THIS LITTLE BOX DOWN HERE ALL THE TIME???? Thank you.

DR Jane - thanks for the update on your DH Keith. You're taking good care of him, I'm sure.
-
~~~Continued Recovery Vibes for DH Keith!!~~~
-
~~~Continued Job Vibes for JulieC40!!~~~
-
Thanks Ginny. There really isn't much for me to do for him. I can keep the dog hair off the sheets & lean down to pick things up for him. His only other restriction, not lifting heavy objects, I cannot do. In fact there are 40 pound bags of salt sitting in my trunk. A friend will come over and put them in the water softener for us, no way am I lifting them, not unless it were an emergency.
-
Keith's eye patch makes me laugh every time I look at him, and he gives me these funny serious expressions.
-
Thank you DR George.
-
DR Jane - how did Sherlock react to the eye-patch?
-
Keith said Sherlock gave him a double take, kind of like Mo in the Three Stooges.
-
Going to drop off-line now to write for awhile before heading back down to finish the documentary on Tati and then find other viewing amusements for the evening.

Thanks FJL. I really wanted to know that. I've been listening to that song for a while(father to son).

Got a bun in the oven, DR Ron Pulliam?

Welcome back, DR Ginny! What did the doctor say?
-
Now that the Vixter is gone...
Keith likes to take his dog collar off in the house....
Keith has a dog collar?? :o
Kinky! ;)

My tuna does not mince, but it does the conga magnificently!

Hi DR Kerry. How is your ankle doing? Do you have any idea how long it will be before you can remove your purple cast?
-
I hadn't actually even loaded AOL till just now so hadn't seen Mr. Rothman's e-mail, but I'm glad I didn't since it got him off his butt cheeks and here - he's a very bright person and always interesting and funny, so it'll be a pleasure to have him here.
-
Welcome, DR Macchus!!!! :)
-
I was there from 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. so I will be paid for that time. Thanks so much for the vibes!
Julie, if Oregon law is still the same, you're entitled to 4 hours' minimum per day, so you should check.
-
Welcome back, DR Ginny! What did the doctor say?
Thanks, DR Singdaw. Today was just a trip to the lab for a blood test in preparation for the doctor's appointment tomorrow. After the lab, we went to Kroger, where Richard parked me at Starbucks to drink coffee and read a book while he did the grocery shopping.
-
Every time DR Macchus posts I crave a lemon meringue tart from the Machus bakery & restaurant in Michigan, more famous as the location from which Jimmy Hoffa disappeared than for its lemon meringue tarts.

He ain't got no lemon meringue tarts!

I re-watched the movie "Hairspray, the Musical" last night.
It's so much fun, most of the way through.
I'm still not "getting" Travolta's take on Edna Turnblad. Edna was dynamic in the non-musical, and Travolta never gets there for me. In that finale, when Edna cuts loose and dances, I just don't feel any enthusiasm like I do for all the others who had segments of the same number.
-
Julie, if Oregon law is still the same, you're entitled to 4 hours' minimum per day, so you should check.
JMK, Thank you, thank you, thank you! I forgot about that and had not entered the time yet! I'm waiting for a confirmation from them on that!
Gotta run! Will be back later!
-
Now that the Vixter is gone...Keith has a dog collar?? :o
Kinky! ;)
Just out of curiousity, does vixmom have a "block" on HHW so the vixter can't read posts posted when she's not online?
-
I'm grateful for "Big Brother" tonight. Oh, yes, indeed!
Grateful.
-
Got a bun in the oven, DR Ron Pulliam?
Why I Oughta.....that'th dith-PIC'-able!
-
It's getting to be that time of the afternoon when a late flood of papers hit my desk.
-
And yet....and yet....I feel compelled to aid the moving-along of things since folks have seriously wound down in posting.
-
There's DR FJL sitting there like so much fish, probably mulling over earlier posts.
-
I gotta tell you. I've recorded as much as my voice would do - I'm resting my throat now.
-
Welcome, DR Macchus!!!! :)
Actually, it's welcome back! :D
-
Actually, it's welcome back!
So it is! I stand corrected.
And it's not even Mr. Kotter.
-
Actually, it's welcome back! :D
Welcome back,
Your dreams were your ticket out.
Welcome back,
To that same old place that you laughed about.
Well some names may have changed since you hung around,
But their dreams have remained and they're turned around.
Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)
Here where we need ya (Here where we need ya)
Yeah we tease you a lot cause we've got you on the spot, welcome back,
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
;D
-
So it is! I stand corrected.
And it's not even Mr. Kotter.
You even sit corrected sometimes, don't you?
-
Yes, Jose, I know: "Where's FJL when you need him"!
-
Hi DR Kerry. How is your ankle doing? Do you have any idea how long it will be before you can remove your purple cast?
Hi Jane, you sweet thing. I get to wear my bright purple cast for an entire month!!!! I don't know what treat I have in store after that, but I was talking to DRLaura earlier and told her that even though my foot is getting clausterphobic and would like some air, I will admit that this cast is easier to move around in and sleep in. I guess I can't complain really! I'm lucky to have the nice people on this here site in my life.
-
We're getting very close to page 8. I can feel it.
-
Yes. It's very nearly near. It's almost here. I can see it!
-
It's peeking 'round the corner. Oh, look....it's right around.....
-
Yes. It's very nearly near. It's almost here. I can see it!
Rooooooooooooon can see it...
-And I shall proceed no further.

Sad but true.
We have lived on this property for over 25 years. The only time I have spent gardening has been digging six very big holes, as in yesterday's effort.

As with fruits that have skins, before cutting through them. I wash the egg shells.
Making my own mayo was healthier, I'm just a fan of Hellman's. Keith uses the light stuff, I don't care for it. I rarely use it at home anymore except in egg salad. For sandwiches I spread soft avocado instead of mayo & it is very healthy.
Ah okay i'm glad you wash the shells and not the eggs!
When you said you wash the egg i thought you meant the actual egg! :)
-
Thank you DR Uncle Jo Jo.

There is some sort of odd comfort in the fact that Samsonite keys from 60 years ago still fit new Samsonite luggage.
There must be some song (very Mae West) about putting an old key into a new lock (or a new key into an old lock).
-
Oh...
Good Evening!
Well... I went back into Grey Gardens earlier this afternoon. Needless to say, it was quite an interesting, and, at times, scary visit. ;)

Better news. "Big Brother" is not to be renewed here. One less TV show to avoid. Now if we can just get rid of the other "reality and idol shows" and give writers and actors some work.
"Wicked" has started here in Melbourne. Of course two of the cast members are from Oz Idol. It is so sad for those young people who train for theatre - and have the talent but not the "name"!
-
DR Ron Pulliam...
To me, you will always be Younger Than Springtime...
:D
How did the movie quote go again? "I just threw up a little bit in my mouth."
???
;D
-
and gayer than laughter?
...Is he with you.
-
Our beloved dogs make our garden grow.
(I don't think that is a Candide quote)
Thank you Kerry.
I did transplant a flowering shrub 24 years ago - it still lives!

That is a 40k bag.

On the other hand (and not to argue but to offer a different "take" on it), a lot of people train their whole lives, and invest much of their adult lives, into "making it" in the theater when their chances of success are very slim and/or their talents, bless their hearts, are more hopeful than viable.
And there is the possibility, through such shows as "Idol", that very talented performers who never were able to seriously pursue their dreams get one last (or first) magical chance to break out, be heard and find a career because they're really good.
I've seen a few phenomenal talents emerge from such shows. I'm not saying the torture I put myself through whicle watching everyone on the shows was worthwhile "because of" the few exceptional performers....but I don't regret having experienced some rare moments.
-
LOL DR Jose.
This bag lady has not even shaved this morning.
At this time I was usually about to drive to the Post Office with Magnus.
-
...Is he with you.
Ignoring your slights and putdowns.
-
LOL DR Jose.
This bag lady has not even shaved this morning.
At this time I was usually about to drive to the Post Office with Magnus.
Well, the bag ladies here in NYC don't shave either...
-
I could also argue that without the no previous acting experience "Idol" cast members. Mr And Mrs Public may not even get to hear about "Wicked" and the show would not find an audience - and thus the "legitimate" stage people would be out of work as well.
I suspect my dislike of "Blood Brothers" was fueled by the use of "Soap Stars" to bring in the bus parties.
In a way I guess it a bit like the casting of Mr Travolta in "Hairspray".
How else do you get people to see a "film musical"?.
(I've not yet bothered with "Hairspray". I've only played the Broadway cast album once. I did enjoy the Waters film on a "camp" level")
-
I heard from Dear Non Reader Baxter the Clown that "Sordid Lives" is to be a TV series .
-
DR Kerry, while I'm very pleased for you this cast is more comfortable, I think you have every right to complain.
-
I also heard from once upon a time DR Dan in Toronto yesterday. I miss some of our once upon a time Readers. I hope their lives have been moving along happily.
-
Well, the bag ladies here in NYC don't shave either...
Maybe I can make it in New York New York.

-
I don't believe I have ever seen a photo of Baxter the Clown. DR Ben can you post one?
-
DR Tomovoz - I hope the birds are noisy enough in their appreciation to somewhat offset the deafening silence you're experiencing.
{{{Hugs}}}
-
I am glad Kerry felt well enough to post today.
-
I heard from Dear Non Reader Baxter the Clown that "Sordid Lives" is to be a TV series .
Yes, it is. In fact, the premier party is taking place tonight here in NYC.
-
DR Kerry: Jason Graae isn't straight.
Me: What?
DR Kerry: Jason Graae isn't straight.
Me: Huh?
DR Kerry: The picture of Jason Graae in my hallway. I keep bumping into it with my walker, so it isn't straight.
Me: I see.
;D
-
Thank you Ginny.
The wild birds are indeed appreciative of the additions to their diet.
Some of the birds do indeed sing for their supper and get breakfast. (Thank you Mr Hart).
-
DR Ginny - Are "natural" blood thinners like Fish oil capsules being considered as part of your future diet?
-
DearReaderLaura DR - is THIS what DR Kerry's cast looks like? (Except for the nail polish, of course.)
(http://www.trimalleolarfracture.com/ankleoriginal/images2/purple1.jpg)
I never would have thought that shade of nail polish was you, exactly. Very brave, I'm impressed.
;)
-
Why certainly Jane. Here is a picture of Baxter ;)
-
Oops! I'll have to look in another folder. I'll post a picture of Mr. Baxter when I find the right file.
-
I'm sure I'll find the photo of Mr Baxter, the clown, more appealing ;D
-
Hey, Jane, here is a picture of Baxter at Work. Sorry it's so small but re-sizing it to 200K reduced the size of the picture.
-
I'll send you the bigger picture in an e-mail so you can see it more easily.
-
:D
Thank you.
-
So much for it being safe to read HHW at the office
-
Ron P - I swear, whatever it said on the list of who was on at 6:30 EST, I wasn't on HHW then.
-
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the office...
-
Ron P - I swear, whatever it said on the list of who was on at 6:30 EST, I wasn't on HHW then.
Your name was at the top of the page, so.... ;)
-
DR Ben, will Baxter be going with DP Anthony to the midwest (or wherever it is)?
-
I'm grateful for "Big Brother" tonight. Oh, yes, indeed!
Grateful.
Ha, I was feeling the same way! It has been a long time since Big Brother made me feel that way!
-
Did Danger Mouse & Baxter the Clown ever meet?
-
I should walk down and get the mail.
-
Thanks Ginny. There really isn't much for me to do for him. I can keep the dog hair off the sheets & lean down to pick things up for him. His only other restriction, not lifting heavy objects, I cannot do. In fact there are 40 pound bags of salt sitting in my trunk. A friend will come over and put them in the water softener for us, no way am I lifting them, not unless it were an emergency.
You could, of course, carefully open a bag while it is in the trunk, remove to a container an appropriate amount of salt that you can lift, and put it into the water softener in stages. But getting a friend to help is much more sociable.
-
LOL DR Jose.
This bag lady has not even shaved this morning.
At this time I was usually about to drive to the Post Office with Magnus.
This bag lady has not shaved yet either! We could form our very own exclusive international club!!!!! ;)
-
Did Danger Mouse & Baxter the Clown ever meet?
Their photos are both in my kitchen, so I think they may be acquainted. Instead of cooking, I have Baxter's photo and a plaster pie on my stove (along with assorted dog toys from various children I've had over the years).
-
John Gielgud, Jason Graae, Ben, Ant, Tab Hunter and tommy Kirk are not straight. I mean nothing sexual about that-- it's just that their pictures get knocked askew most often as I traverse my hallway in the walker or my computer chair. But it cheers me up to see them everyday when i have to straigthen them out again!
-
Why certainly Jane. Here is a picture of Baxter ;)
This is NOT the picture of Baxter i have-- I'd remember something like that!
-
I never would have thought that shade of nail polish was you, exactly. Very brave, I'm impressed.
That IS me. How'd you know about the nail polish?!?!?!?!?!
;)
-
But it makes a great quote.

I should turn the oven on, for tonight's baked potatoes. My stomach is starting to get rumbly.
Beef chuck steak (to be thinly sliced). Baked potatoes. Salad, with a store-brand mango-lime vinaigrette (which sounds intriguing). And I think I'm going to fry up some leek rounds, to garnish somehow.
-

This is the same pie that the errant bill was upon.

Der Brucer is an addict.
He has discovered The Big Bang Theory.

It certainly does. ;D

As for Jason Graae... Well... Umm...
...nevermind.
-
I had a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich - not as good as usual today. I also recorded two more songs - have done ten so far and am in act three of The Hostage so there shouldn't be too many more.

And I bet that mango-lime vinaigrette would make a nice glaze and/or sauce for some grilled shrimp or mahi-mahi too.
*I had to stop into Whole Foods earlier to pick up some olive oil - I'm trying a bottle Chilean stuff this time round - and there was a table set up with samples from Carrillo Salsa (http://carrillosalsa.com/). -And behind the table was the owner/founder of the company - which is based in Rye, NY. Rye, New York? In any case...
I did indeed sample some of the salsas, and they were all quite tasty. After checking out the ingredient panels I noticed that they were all very low in sodium, which is a rarity in bottled salsas. The owner/founder went on to explain how salt is the last seasoning he adds to his salsas since he wants most of the taste to come from the chiles, tomatoes, tomatillos, garlic, etc. "Salt is cheap, which is why a lot of manufacturers use a lot of it." I went ahead and took home a bottle of their Salsa Verde Refresco©... Which was a perfectly complement to the mahi-mahi I prepared for my dinner.
**And, yes, the founder/owner had very nice blue eyes. ;)
-
OH! And the Chilean EVOO (as Rachael Ray would say) was/is quite tasty too.
-
It's been a busy day and I was really getting things done, so of course my brother had to send an email jumping in on the family garbage. Good Grief! Can't they just leave me alone until my trial is over? Edith thinks I should just block all of them until August. She also thinks I need to attend a legal pad addicition 12 step program. I must admit I do use about 25 legal pads when most people would still be using the same one..
-
And I bet that mango-lime vinaigrette would make a nice glaze and/or sauce for some grilled shrimp or mahi-mahi too.
...
Probably. A couple of nights ago I prepped some chicken thighs (boneless, skinless) as I would for sweet-and-sour, but served the cooked chicken bits with the S.B. Vidalia onion and sesame/ginger dressings as dipping sauces. Very tasty.
-
Other than that it was a good day. We took field trips, knocked on doors looking for witnesses and discussed the case over fabulous chicken pot pies at Green Gables
-
I want rain. It's gone past us and it didn't rain.
-
My feet are tired.
And Saturday I'll be hitting the parking lot pavement again. Yep, Frank will still be out, and I'm the guy they've tagged to sub for him in the early hours of the morn.
I got a bit of sun, at least. Not enough to turn me into bronzed godhood yet, but it's a start.
-
I want rain. It's gone past us and it didn't rain.
The rain passed us here too. "They" were forecasting storms for yesterday and today, but, instead, got nothing but beautiful blue skies and comfortable humidity. :)

I'm just hoping that the storms are truly "intermittent" while I'm down in Disneyworld tomorrow and on the cruise. It's definitely Hurricane Season, now, so... But, at least if it rains while I'm on the cruise, there's always Bingo. ;)
-
DR SWW - Don't forget the sunscreen! -And the Comfort Insoles!
-
DR Cilla-Oh, this sounds serious. Legal pad addiction vibes to you! :)
-
I should walk down and get the mail.
I should have done this before eating. A fast long walk in the heat & oppressive air was not a good idea. The last long uphill walk didn't sit well with my stomach.
I had some water, am cooling down & should be fine soon. :)
-

Dear Tomovoz... I just realized what was happening in your lives... my condolences to you and DP Colin

I'm watching a really cheesy victim movie on Lifetime, just to see the little Mamma Mia! inserts. Beginning to think it's not worth it, but I have to see how the melodrama turns out.

Greetings everyone... IT have been a busy few days... and will be the rest of the week.

My sympathies on the cheesey movie?
-
I finished watching the documentary of Jacques Tati made by his daughter. It was actually 102 minutes. The documentary had been divided into two sections, each 51 minutes long. Nice to see clips from work other than his Hulot films and interviews he gave throughout his life. I enjoyed it.
-
'night!
-
Next, I watched THE BOURNE SUPREMACY on HD-DVD. I had watched the first and third installments of the movie on HD, so I enjoyed watching this middle installment just to have the whole story firm in my head. With years between each of the movies, I tended to forget all the set-ups and relationships from one to the next. It's all clearer now.
The HD-DVD looked just superb. The Dolby Digital Plus sound was fine but just a tad underwhelming. I guess anything would be after listening to BATMAN BEGINS and CLOVERFIELD in Dolby TrueHD over the weekend. Those audio mixes blew the windows out.
-
GO BRUCE!!!!
-
Page Eleven Dorothy and Tin Man Dance!!!
-
Vibes to Keith....
Continued vibes to Ginny!
Vibes to Kerry!
-
Next I watched (or rather rewatched) ANOTHER THIN MAN. I believe this is the first THIN MAN film I've watched on this TV that I got last September, so it was quite wonderful to see it upconverted so beautifully. Really enjoyed it.
-
Vibes to Tom and Colin!
-
Well, I need to put the finishing touches on my packing, and then it's to bed. My flight leaves at 9:00, so I'll have to leave here no later than 6:30. Well, 7:00 if I opt to take a cab instead of the subway/bus. ;)
-
TOmorrow I'll be watching VAMPYR, another film that will be absolutely new to me.
I noticed on the back of the disc box that, like THE THREEPENNY OPERA, which I reviewed some months ago, this 1932 German film is also in the same VERY narrow aspect ratio of 1.19:1.
-
DR Cilla-Oh, this sounds serious. Legal pad addiction vibes to you! :)
Thank you DR Jane. I never really noticed it before. I knew I had one in almost every file, but 20 on my desk each with just a page or two of notes, lol. And another 20-25 in the murder case file. It's just too funny. ;D
-
OH!
A Very Happy Birthday to former HHW Interviewee and Orchestrator, Larry Blank!

This is a "slight" riff on an old Sophie Tucker routine (about her boyfriend Ernie):

"'And let me tell you something, Ernie! Twenty unlocks 80 a hell-of-a-lot-more than 80 unlocks 20!'"
I gave you the perfect set-up for a Sophie Tucker joke. That's a good thing!
-
Laura, I love your witticisms you have in your signature box...
-
I was shocked to find out something about a co-worker today.... She is a supporter of the candidate I refuse to vote for on the republican ticket.
She thinks he is sexy....
I wisely walked away and held my tongue

Give yourself a break. A trial is like running a 10 mile marathon, and you need to be good to yourself. No diets. No family. Have a cupcake and meditate. I have total faith in your abilities, so give 'em hell, and work on the crud afterwards. I went through this too many times as a paralegal, so I know you have to take care of yourself. I used to make DR MusicGuy (when we were still together) do the same thing before a concert. There is enough physical and mental stress that you don't need to put yourself through anymore suffering. You have nough on your plate right now, dear friend. Eat well, and get some rest.

Back from a nice evening walk. How can it be nine o'clock already??? Oh, well, guess I'll just play on the computer until notes time.
-
Trial vibes to Cilla.... Knock 'em dead!

Kerry is right... Take a bubble bath with oodles and oodles of bubbles, soft cnadles and a glass of wine!
-
Keep it up bk... I have been walking alot also! I have noticed a difference...

I have a better question. How can July be half over? Didn't it just start a couple of days ago?
:-\

OK, writing is done for the day, and now I'm ready to head downstairs to bed.
Good night!

This month has flown by like a bat on speed....

Today would have been my mother's 91st birthday. The family joke used to be, "beware the Ides of July." If you had known my mother, you'd understand. :)
-
Does anyone know if LIFE GOES ON will be released on DVD?
-
A relative of mine passed a way today. My mother's uncle died at 74 of cancer
-
I was shocked to find out something about a co-worker today.... She is a supporter of the candidate I refuse to vote for on the republican ticket.
She thinks he is sexy....
I wisely walked away and held my tongue
You are a very, VERY wise woman! :)
-
Well, it looks like I'm the only one here right now and am talking to myself. If anyone gets on before midnight. Goodnight to one and all! Sweetest dreams! :)

Had an odd day which brought to mind the old saying "an oral agreement isn't worth the paper it's printed on."

Ain't it the truth!

I'm the only one in the jernt?

I'm here, but it's time to sleep in NY, NY.

I can't make it to page 13. I'm lucky I got to see page 12.

I gave you the perfect set-up for a Sophie Tucker joke. That's a good thing!
And it was my great pleasure when that old joke sprang forth after reading your post! ;D
-
No, no she doesn't
She said with some reticence! ;D

[size=8]OMG! Spoiler -- Big Brother 10 -- OMG![/size]
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I am really loving this show, thus far. Tonight's drama was better than I'd imagined. I was shouting at my TV screen when Jerry -- confronted with the "truth" about Brian by 8 houseguests -- sat there in denial and said he didn't trust any of them.
I was shouting, "You trust BRIAN, Jerry! And he's making you look like a fool telling everyone how he's manipulating you into doing his bidding!"
Good for Libra for stirring this stuff up and forcing April to confront Ollie! And good for Ollie! And good for Jessie and Memphis! And I'll even throw in a GOOD FOR RENNY, because unless she just hangs herself to spite her face, she's not going home this week. And even if she hangs herself, I'll go so far as to say she still won't go home because none of them can afford to let Brian stay.
I felt sorry for Jerry. It was sort of amusing in a bittersweet way to hear him explain why he wasn't wearing any of his military hats -- 'cause he didn't want to shame any of the services when he went back on his word. I hope he recovers quickly, because I'm certain most servicemen would say that only a fool would stick to his word in the face of betrayal, which is the worst kind of dishonor.
Brian amuses me because he's a Mike Boogie wannabe. I know they were likening him to Dr. Will, but Brian was too heavy-handed and obvious to be in Will's league. Brian had delusions of grandeur, walking around and talking to folks like he was Don Vito Corleone promising favors in return for a favor he would call in at some time in the future.
That's the danger of guys falling too much in love with "The Godfather", IMO. They turn into mooks when they try to "be" like a Corleone.
DR MBarnum, I'm wondering -- naturally -- what your take is on Steven and why he's been "under the radar", thus far. We hardly see anything of him, which is good. I recall Season 6 when Kaysar didn't come into his own until, I think the fourth week. That's when Cappy sealed his own fate and got the boot. That remains my favorite season, but also my least favorite outcome.
I hope this season continues to live up to the fun I've had with it so far!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I don't see us getting to page 13. Not with only me here and longing for bed.
-
No, page 13 just doesn't look as if it will happen.
-
I can try posting a few more posts, but I honestly don't see how I can get us there alone.
-
I saw a really terrific promo for the new season of "Eureka!" on the SciFi channel. It was all singing, all dancing, and it was done very WELL! It put a smile on my face, so I had to record it (my DVR will record any program from the point at which I started watching).
-
I wish it had also put a shine on my shoes, but that's another number from a different musical.
-
My eyelids are getting very heavy.
-
And I don't have the first clue how to exercise them to stay in shape.
-
12 more posts after this one and we'll be there....on the cusp (oh, yes! the "cusp") of page 13.
-
That's an interesting thought...12 more posts on page 12 before getting to 13.
Except for the fact that it's now only 11 more posts on page 12 before betting to 13.
And that presupposes someone else hasn't posted while I was typing this.
-
Well, I slid by on that one. Now it's only 10 more posts until the "cusp".
-
Every post is a good post.
-
And we're on the cusp, I can feel it in my bones.
-
No, wait! That's just a cramp.
-
Or a pulled something or other.
-
Oy!
-
Just a few more....and we'll be cusprecocious!
-
But I must also be cusprecautious lest we fall short.
-
A few more steps is all it will take.
-
Come one, now. Surely two more posts will get us to the very brink of the cusp.
-
I'm cuspercolatin' right now. This is the penultimate post for this page. Or this page's penultimate post!

And now, a pleasant good e'en!
