Last night, I went to Subway for dinner and had one of their new (and available for a limited time only) Chicken Florentine Flatbreads (http://www.subwayfreshbuzz.com/menu/other_favorites/chicken_florentine/). It was very good. :D

Topic of the Day: I'd start with "WALL-E." Then, "The Lord of the Rings" (the extended editions trilogy). I'd have to think about what to show next.

I have a problem with "best DVD". DVDs of some of my most spectacular movie favorites, like Ben Hur, can not duplicate a major theatrical showing of the MGM Camera 65/6 Channel Sound. The DVDs of the Harry Potter films are pure pleasure - but they still fail to bring the same thrills you get in a theatre.
That said Tim Burton's "Edward Scissorhands" is a remarkable DVD bringing all of Burton's glorious surrealistic imagery to the TV screen. Curtiz's Robin Hood is also at the top of the list.

DR Vixmom, glad the test wasn't too invasive. **GOOD RESULTS VIBES*** !!!
-
DR Ben - Good going on the DSL! :)
-
I am now show-choired out.
;D

And now I'm at work. My bowl is washed, I'm all caught up and only 4 more days.
-
I'm so happy that I can now read the NY Times on-line at home!

Once things got going the installation actually was fairly easy. I take "easy 3-step installation" with a grain of salt but it was fairly painless and the fact that the laptop can share the connection as well is even better. I went to all the graphics heavy sites that take minutes (or more) to load at home, like the Credit Union and The New York Times and Hallmark (looking at some e-cards) and they all load quickly and without incident. What a relief.
The hardest thing I did was replace our phone. We had a very good 14 year old Toshiba cordless phone and we also had an answering machine (Anthony doesn't want to go to voice mail from Verizon, he's funny that way) a Caller ID box and a unit which told us we were getting an incoming call when we were on line with dial-up. If I kept all those devices I would need to put a DSL filter on each of them along with the regular phone line. It was easier to just get a new phone with an answering machine attached so last night after work I went shopping for a phone. I was just looking for something simple with a decent amount of message recording time. I ended up with something more elaborate but easy to install. We now have a corded land line with two cordless handset. The main unit has an answering machine with 28 minutes of recording time, a phone book for speed dialing, Caller ID and Call Waiting and other features. The handsets are not ready to use yet because they take 16 HOURS to charge!!! But the main phone unit works along with all the bells and whistles. It had just one cord to plug into the phone jack (along with the DSL filter). Everything works well. I got up this morning at 5am and the first thing I did was turn on the computer and go on line to make sure it wasn't just a fluke. I sped around the Internet and decided it will, indeed, work. What a relief.
And now back to work.

I have no idea what DVD I would show people to show off DVDs.

Good morning, all! I was out of bed at 6:15. By 7:30 all 37 cartons were lined up in the hall for Fed Ex to pick up between 9 am and 3 pm. My apartment seems so roomy. The MBarnum memorial fire escape is cleared again and the pigeons are happy to see the cartons go.
Today, while I await Fed Ex, I shall work on THE MOST HAPPY FELLA and do a few Toyland critical note revisions.
DR Ben, have you watched THE COURT JESTER yet?
DR vixmom, I'm glad the ordeal wasn't too tramatic yesterday.
BK, I'm glad your contracts came through; I got mine yesterday for SPRING IS HERE, so I knew that things were moving along. I stopped by R&H to drop of the completed forms and the new offices look fantastic. The renovation is great and I look forward to going back for a tour.
DR MBarnum, DOSTANA is playing in the East Village on Third Avenue, and I may try to see it on Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Happy now?

DR Ben, have you watched THE COURT JESTER yet?
Not yet Dear Friend. Perhaps this weekend, on Sunday. We have both been busy as bees and yesterday turned into the marathon DSL installation/phone changeover. Saturday I'm seeing two shows, one is a cabaret at Don't Tell Mama. A friend who had a day job but still works as a performer is doing a new cabaret show so I'm supporting her in the afternoon and in the evening we are seeing Funny as a Crutch. It's a series of nine short plays all performed by people with disabilities. The show has gotten some very good reviews. A friend bought tickets before checking his calendear only to find he was already booked that evening so he gave the tickets to us. Lucky Us! I'm looking forward to it.
I am still waiting for the official Performance Evaluation. My end of it is done and ready. Now I just have to wait for the official call. Time is a passin' On November 25th I'm outta here. But that's their problem, not mine.
I have to get a haircut at lunch. We are having a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very important meeting with the new President of our organization (the emphasis is from others not me, I've met him, he's a very nice, personable and intelligent man) tomorrow morning so I have to look my best as well as go over my "talking points" I have to remember to stay on script :-)

The worse DVDs have to be any bootleg or film/tv show in public domain. The quality is unwatchable and hopefully one day the will be release properly.
Surprisingly there are several MGM that went into public domain and some have them have been reclaimed. Like Royal Wedding and one of those composer bio films like Till The Clouds Roll By or Words and Music (Can' t remember which one) Other are two Liz Taylor films Father's Little Dividend (or is it Father of the Bride) and The Last Time I Saw Paris
Also any of those 100 movies in one set are all public domain (musicals, horror films etc)

Best DVDs:
THE JAZZ SINGER--this has been one of the most intriguing DVD sets I've ever purchased. I would have to say that all of the supplemental material in this set is wonderful--no filler here!
LORD OF THE RINGS sets--I think these sets show off the films beautifully and the added scenes do not slow the movies up one bit. There is almost too much supplemental material but just about all of it is worthwhile to at least browse through.
AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS--Just to show off the medium's ability to showcase older and semi-obscure material (semi-obscure to mainstream television viewers, that is.) And beside, I just love AMAHL--I played this one at least five times last Christmas season.

Greetings to DR Ginny, too! -- The girls are in the house!

Very happy. Did you make sure it was still playing this weekend? See if they have a souvenir booklet when you are there.

MBarnum, that is the most beautiful tree! Maybe if you lived in the desert for a while where trees don't change color you would understand why it is sooooo beautiful!
What kind of tree is it?

Speaking of DVDs, I have another stack which can be yours individually or collectively (a 5th Dimension reference) for cheap:
Grey's Anatomy Season 4 Blu-ray
Stuck Blu-ray (Stephen Rea and Mena Suvari)
Lovejoy Christmas Episodes
One Touch of Venus
Smithsonian Legend of the Crystal Skulls
The Commander Season 1 (follow up show to Prime Suspect)
La Dolce Vita Deluxe Set
Spin City Season 1 (Michael J. Fox)
Monty Python Live
There will probably be more soon as I clean various rooms.

Greetings DR Mikey! I've been thinking about you lately with the opening of Slumdog Millionaire. The male star was on David Letterman last night to promote the flick. Have you seen it? It's getting rave reviews -- of course, only in limited theaters right now. They were talking about the dancing Bollywood ending -- so natch' I thought of you.

There are so many reference quality discs for Blu-ray and DVD.
For DVD animation, I'd pick THE INCREDIBLES.
For DVD live action, I'd pick STARGATE.
For Blu-ray animation, I'd pick CARS.
For Blu-ray live action, I'd pick LIVE FREE AND DIE HARD.
For HD DVD live action, I'd pick THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM.
All five of these offer the best mix of picture and sound on my equipment.

No SlumDog Millionaire here yet. Hopefully soon!

He was on Fresh Air last night and they played several of the parody songs, all of which were fantastic. The opening number is a perfect pastiche of a swingin' Bobby Darin type of tune--fantastic big band arrangement.

I've seen a lot of video on DVD, and some of the most stunning were either HD-DVD or gorgeously upconverted.
The BEST HD-DVD I've seen has to be "Meet Joe Black". I imagine the Blu-ray can match it, but I don't believe standard DVD ever will look as sharp, as deep and as spectacular as this film looks in high def.
Amazing standard DVDs, upconverted, include:
The Last Starfighter
South Pacific
Hello, Dolly!
Funny Girl
The Geraldine McEwan "Miss Marple" series, which I'm sure was filmed in high definition. The image is also anamorphic (16:9), which is a huge plus.
A.I.
And I'll concur with others over the Harry Potters and Lord of the Rings films.
Many of my videos look wonderful upconverted, although some decidedly don't measure up -- transfer-wise -- and will hopefully be remastered/re-release.

I actually slept eight hours, a first in about six weeks. But I must be jogging by nine, so I have to wake up and de-groggify.

To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me -
Tell them how I
Am defying credulity!
I'm flying high
Defying credulity!
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!

OH! Was Dev Patel on "Letterman" last night? Dang, missed it/him! I'll see if I can find clips on line. -Although, the episode will probably be repeated sooner than later since that's the way they tend to handle the repeats now when the show takes it's regular taping hiatuses - hiati(?).
In any case... I loved the movie! And, yes, the "finale" is quite wonderful and joyous. -And I think it's put there to help everyone stop crying. Well, almost everyone. ;)

I'm so happy that I can now read the NY Times on-line at home!
-And you can read most of "today's edition" starting at midnight - sometimes even around 11:30.
*And if you get the RSS Feed, you can start reading some of the special sections - "Dining & Wine", "The Magazine", etc. - days before they appear in print. -And you also get the "early versions" of the articles too. Sometimes it's interesting to compare what got edited out - or added - in regards to print space considerations.
-
As for the Topic of the Day....
I am happy that some of my favorite movies are available on DVD, but I'm another one who just watches the movie, not the DVD. I rarely watch any of the "extras". -I know that older films are going to look "older", and I would hope that more recent releases look clean and play without any jitters and skips. -And I still prefer seeing movies on the "Big Screen" anyway.
-
OH! And speaking of (belated) Birthdays...
Mickey Mouse turned 80 on Tuesday!
-
I watched QUO VADIS on DVD last night.....I like the Roman parts of the movie.....the Christian parts are a bit pious for me.....but Peter Ustinov is terrific....
I know there was much discussion about the color here, but I only had an old VHS version, so this looks great to me.....maybe NOT the way it's supposed to be, but better than VHS.

OK, this may just be really flaky. The Typealyzer (http://www.typealyzer.com/) is supposed to allow you to enter a web page or blog, and, Astrology-like, characterize its "personality." So, out of curiosity, I put in HHW. Here is the result:
ESFP - The Performers
The entertaining and friendly type. They are especially attuned to pleasure and beauty and like to fill their surroundings with soft fabrics, bright colors and sweet smells. They live in the present moment and donґt like to plan ahead - they are always in risk of exhausting themselves.
The enjoy work that makes them able to help other people in a concrete and visible way. They tend to avoid conflicts and rarely initiate confrontation - qualities that can make it hard for them in management positions.
:)
-
Hmm... Myers-Briggs Typing for the WWW. Who knew?
-
When it comes to DVDs, I seldom pay much attention the extras.
Forget the shorts. Forget the cartoons.
I want to see the movie. Period.
I will check out alternate endings and an occasional deleted scene, but unless there is a specific scene that is of interest, I almost never listen to the audio commentaries.
90% of the "Behind the Scenes" documentaries on current movies are self-congradulatory and, frankly, dull. I hardly ever watch them for more than a few minutes, if at all.
I do enjoy the short retrospective featurettes that often accompany classic films, particularly when some of the original actors or other participants are interviewed.
What I enjoy the most are the feature-length documentaries, often orginally made as stand-alone TV specials, that are incorporated into some of the "Collector's Editions" Two examples: "The Making of GONE WITH THE WIND" and the documentary on Budd Boetticher that is included in the recent 5-disc release from Sony.
Also, not sure if it was made strictly for the set or for TV broadcast, but the documentry that is included in MURNAU, BORZAGE AND FOX is also very good.

I do know it will be cold in NY - although it IS my intention to bring the warm weather with me. I'll have a nice sweatshirt, and I guess I'll wear a coat if absolutely necessary (whilst jogging), but my legs will have to suffer the cold, I suppose, because I cannot jog in pants, running pants or otherwise. And I may decide not to jog every day anyway.

I'll have a nice sweatshirt, and I guess I'll wear a coat if absolutely necessary (whilst jogging), but my legs will have to suffer the cold, I suppose, because I cannot jog in pants, running pants or otherwise. And I may decide not to jog every day anyway.
Doesn't the Tudor have a fitness club too? Treadmill?

Well, I've been called in to play for a brief audition session this afternoon, so...
Laters...

I prefer to jog in shorts too - even in the cold weather. However, it's the breathing in of the cold air that can really do some damage. -Remember, you'll need your voice.

I prefer Jockey's - but that means moving to Portland, or to NYC, wear a cowboy hat, and carry a guitar.

I second DR Ben's comment. Of course, I'm further south, but it's been 15 degrees colder than usual--it's actually COLDER THAN OUR AVERAGE JANUARY WEATHER.
BRUCE?? BE PREPARED!

I'll have to pass on JRAND'S comment to my dentist. I see the dentist regularly--every 6 months--and have always tried to take good care of my teeth. He's even a conservative dentist, and as far as I know, he has no children. Sigh, I suspect this is largely the result of the A-word (aging). And he didn't even include the ones I thought were suspect. sigh, sigh, sigh.

I used to joke about needing to rob a bank, but of course banks no longer have any money.

Time for me to grab some lunch.
TTFN, kids.

DR JMK - how did the Frances Farmer Festival go?
You're asking me? I asked you days ago if your sister attended.
-
I have just been informed that my replacement will start work here on the day of my retirement party. That gives us one week together.
-
Good Afternoon!
Well... If I had known who was going to be in the room this afternoon, I would have dressed better, more formally... :-\
-
I love the coincidences of life. I was recording Bobby Rydell's version of "The Woodpecker Song" yesterday - and that of course was your today! (I was transferring the old vinyl to CD)
-
TOTD:
Lord Nemo of the Arabian Rings.

Bruce,
Any thoughts to having Guy Haines or anone who just might happen to sound like Guy Haines perform, "She Likes Basketball"? It's a nice up-tempo, and nobody does it like it Guy!
-
Speaking of DVDs, I have another stack which can be yours individually or collectively (a 5th Dimension reference) for cheap:
One Touch of Venus
What makes the DVD of "One Touch of Venus" so special? In the movie itself, Ava Gardner looked so glorious; Eve Arden is a gem as usual, and it has one of my all-time favorite songs, "Speak Low" (although frankly, Dolores Gray recorded, "Speak Low" on her "Warm Brandy" album, and IMHO, that version can't be topped.)
-
In today's mail, a package from Deep Discount DVD: "Lubitsch Musicals", "Medium, the Fourth Season" and "Warner Brothers and the Homefront" collection.
In today's UPS, from Amazon.com: The Legacy Series DVD of "Vertigo."
Earlier this week, I received the first of my Deep Discount orders: "The Complete 'Rosemary and Thyme'" series.

We found her in the backyard. We want to find her a home. She is VERY affectionate.
And Kerry absolutely, resolutely and completely remains UNmoved? Tsk!
No, not unmoved-- just unused to cats. I'm a dog person, although I like cats, but I've never had one. I have been the Mom in so many situations; perhaps it's time to be Uncle Kerry and be my usual friend to all cats, dogs and kids but without having to have one.
I'll meet the "cute little orange kitty" probably on Sunday after church.
-
I am very much looking forward to tonight's SURVIVOR.
There is a promo they are airing here which looks hilarious (and i think a bunch of DRs may think so too).
It features our "favorite" randy with bob's fake idol. Would bob really let randy use his fake idol and not tell him??? :)
I thought bob and randy were on the same side.
I would love it if randy thinks he has the real idol and thinks he is going to shock crystal/sugar/mattie.
I mean sugar/mattie know that she is the only one with the idol. So if they find out bob has an idol maybe they will realize it is a fake?
Should be funny hopefully. And please let randy get the boot.

I don't know the exact temp in NYC. But i'm assuming it most be in the 30s. How could you not bring a jacket??? That is insane and you would surely get sick.
I would also not wear shorts. You might not love wearing jogging pants or sweat pants. But you would be crazy not to especially since you hate getting sick.
Just my 2 cents.
-
Another long lasting lunch with some other stops along the way. Thankfully, my workload was mild this afternoon and I had plenty of time to get it done plus enjoy other viewing items.
-
When I got in, I immediately put on A COLBERT CHRISTMAS. The 44-minutes were just as nutty and fun as expected. Colbert has a surprisingly rich baritenor singing voice. I think I enjoyed his solos as much as anyone else on the special. Elvis Costello, Toby Keith, Willie Nelson, Jon Stewart, John Legend, and Feist are the guests.
The biggest laugh for me: Colbert offered to roast some chestnuts on his open fire. The problem is his open fire is a digiital fireplace and the nuts just bounced off the screen. Hilarious.
-
There were some fun bonus features, too. There's a digital yulelog video (except the log is actually burning books), three alternate endings to the special, a cut song (very pretty), and a 25-day advent calendar.
-
Page Six Dance!!!
-
Next, I watched the rest of the Legacy edition of VERTIGO that I'd recently watched in two previous installments. Lots of people are bothered by that repurposed Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack, but I like it. When Judy is completely transformed and comes into his arms, that music just seeps around and envelopes the viewer. I find it rather magical.
-
And then I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Yep, Luke is there trying to have a confrontation with Brian and trying to spill the beans to his mother,k both thwarted in typical stupid soap operary fashion.
-
Since I finished my work project for the day, I should be able to watch CSI: NY and L&O tonight when I go back down before UGLY BETTY begins.
-
A pause...
I guess I must be in one of those cycles, phases... I've actually tear'd up a few times over the past two hours. It's amazing how inspiring and moving talent coupled with youthful innocence can be.
-
It's about time for me to sign off here and go have my hair cut. After that, Richard and I are meeting for Chinese food, so it'll be a while before I'm back online.
Bye for now!
-
Jennifer - I didn't say I wouldn't have a jacket with me - of course I will.
-
MattH, the problem with the 5.1 Vertigo track is not the music, which sounds fine. It's that every single bit of foley has been redone - and that's not only not fine, it's unacceptable and is nowhere near the quality of the original Hitchcock sound mix, which is why they needed to put the original mono track on.

I understand the point, and I agree that the original mono should be available. The new track is fine with me.

Well you wrote, "and I guess I'll wear a coat if absolutely necessary (whilst jogging)", which to me made it sound like you might not wear one. I guess you were only talking about during jogging (it wasn't clear to me).

Once things got going the installation actually was fairly easy. I take "easy 3-step installation" with a grain of salt but it was fairly painless and the fact that the laptop can share the connection as well is even better. I went to all the graphics heavy sites that take minutes (or more) to load at home, like the Credit Union and The New York Times and Hallmark (looking at some e-cards) and they all load quickly and without incident. What a relief.
The hardest thing I did was replace our phone. We had a very good 14 year old Toshiba cordless phone and we also had an answering machine (Anthony doesn't want to go to voice mail from Verizon, he's funny that way) a Caller ID box and a unit which told us we were getting an incoming call when we were on line with dial-up. If I kept all those devices I would need to put a DSL filter on each of them along with the regular phone line. It was easier to just get a new phone with an answering machine attached so last night after work I went shopping for a phone. I was just looking for something simple with a decent amount of message recording time. I ended up with something more elaborate but easy to install. We now have a corded land line with two cordless handset. The main unit has an answering machine with 28 minutes of recording time, a phone book for speed dialing, Caller ID and Call Waiting and other features. The handsets are not ready to use yet because they take 16 HOURS to charge!!! But the main phone unit works along with all the bells and whistles. It had just one cord to plug into the phone jack (along with the DSL filter). Everything works well. I got up this morning at 5am and the first thing I did was turn on the computer and go on line to make sure it wasn't just a fluke. I sped around the Internet and decided it will, indeed, work. What a relief.
And now back to work.
Caller ID? Is that why no one ever answers when I call?
-
I received an email that THE LITTLE RASCALS has shipped!
Really? And where are Ben and M. Barnum going?
-
DR MBarnum - did you read the review of OM SHANTI OM in the latest issue of VideoWatchDog?

I got some chicken tenders and a couple of chicken egg rolls for meal o' the day - very yummilicious. They didn't exactly make me full, but they did the trick.

Whoa, I just checked Butterball.com and learned that we're already a day behind in turkey-thawing time. It says that you should allow one-day in the refrigerator for every 4 pounds and we think our turkey is 28 pounds. It's out of the freezer now and we'll hope for the best.

I apologize for not being around much today. It's been another eventful day around these parts.
I woke early this morning and Toby and I headed off to my meeting with payroll. Without getting into too much detail, the problem was that the payroll gal forgot to take into account all of my leave slips for my maternity leave, and put me back on the full time payroll at the beginning of October. This was her error.
I caught said error and called it in about two weeks ago. She apologized profusely and sent me some paperwork for paying the money back. Jed, my wonderful math whiz of a husband, looked at her spreadsheet and said "She did the math wrong on this." Not only had she calculated the pay wrong, she also asked me to pay back the GROSS pay, meaning I would pay back to the college the income tax they paid on my mistaken wages, out of my own pocket. So her error would end up costing me about $300.
Well, there was no way I was going to accept that. So I had a meeting with her and her boss. I showed them the error that Jed had found, and Payroll Gal said "Oh, you're right, oops." Her boss rolled his eyes. Then I asked her about the income tax, and she said "Sorry, I can't get it back from the government so it has to come back to us somehow." I said "What??" and her boss said "What???" And he told her there was no way she was going to ask me to pay back money that I'd never received in the first place. Yay for him. So I ended up paying back just what I'd been overpaid and not a cent more.
-her boss also asked me what my husband did for a living, and seemed amazed that he was able to catch the mistake so easily. :D
So that was the good part of the day.
The rest of the day was spent finding out that the childcare place I thought was read for Toby in January is in fact NOT going to have a spot for him in January. So I've been scouring the internet and making phone calls trying to find a place that has room for him that won't put us in the poor house with the tuition. That search goes on.

You'll be fine. *And it's also good to let it sit in the fridge uncovered for a couple of hours, that helps with the crisping of the skin once it's in the oven.

Indeed I did. I was surprised to see it a Bollywood movie reviewed there, but pleased.
That is one swell movie, I will add.

Not as of yet. The people at paypal were very nice, but very firm in that they simply cannot help me if I do not have any verifying information.
I still have not received a response from my buyer. Now I can only wait and pray.

I had an enjoyable evening of show watching. I began with last night's CSI: NY. An interesting case with a good murderer. Scott Wolf was the principal guest star though among the other guests were Chris Daughtry (surprisingly effective and looking GREAT) and Rumer Willis (not much talent there that I could see).
-
Next I watched LAW & ORDER from last night. As has been the case with the show since the cast changed late last season, they're working together wonderfully, and the story of a fundamentalist Morman sect was very interesting. Jena Malone was the principal guest star with Colm Meany also playing a major role in the show.

I had about 30 minutes before the time I needed to start watching UGLY BETTY from the DVR, so for some reason I plucked IMITATION OF LIFE from the shelf and watched the Lana Turner version (at least the first thirty minutes of it.) Don't know why I had an urge to watch it again, but I did enjoy revisiting it.
-
UGLY BETTY had a fabulous episode tonight. I was interested in every storyline and loved how they proceeded. Felt so sorry for Justin (been there, done that) and was happy for Betty and Marc.
-
I still don't know where they're going with Izzie on GREY's ANATOMY, but I thought the rest of the show was superb. Ghoulish, yes, but consistently attention-grabbing.
-
LIFE ON MARS was truly wonderful tonight, too. I did figure out what was going on before the big reveal, but it was still quite riveting. And touching, too.
-
And, apparently, K-Mart has already started offering their Black Friday prices on-line - they started back on November 4. -Alas, I found out about that from the New York Times...

I have to agree. I left the room once when I thought it was going to get too ghoulish, but I came back to see what happened, and I have it on DVR so I can go back and watch now that I know how it turned out

Sounds like childbirth. Or an autopsy.
-
PLEASE don't spoil things for us West coast people. I'm begging you...I look forward to Grey's each week.

YIKES!

BK - Did you get any mail from us today?

I'm not watching it, Ann, so I'm not giving away anything. Just guessing.

Wasn't planning on saying anything more. If that was too much, sorry

Well, since I've been up since 4:45 AM, driven 3 1/4 hours to Des Moines, sat through and all day seminar and driven back home, I think I'll get some sleep so I can get up early and get to the office before my busy day tomorrow.

I did see the "suggestion" that PUSHING DAISIES, DIRTY SEXY MONEY, and ELI STONE would not receive an order for any more episodes past their contracted 13 for the first half of the season. I think they're DEAD wrong with ELI STONE, one of the most engrossing comedy-dramas I've seen in years.
And on a happier note, Bravo has negotiated with Kathy Griffin to do another year of her series (as well as hosting other gigs on the network). Hooray!

Piffle. Neither you nor I said anything that wasn't suggested/present from last week's show and previews (and promos which have been running all week).

The news tonight was really funny. The local anchor was trying to do a serious story on the two Iowa turkeys who are going to be pardoned and live their lives at Disney World and he started laughing - then his co-anchor started laughing. It was one of those moments and was great

Now I'm heading down to bed.
Good night!

FJL - I did, and I'm HAPPY!

And everyone just sits there for an HOUR. Brilliant.

I'm waiting for the Grey's Anatomy review to see if I was right.

Well, I'm working on Working in the morning, so...
Goodnight.

This is an actual e-mail that I just received:

Старый анекдот:
Гитлер смотрит на свой портрет, который висит на стене, и спрашивает: "Чему радуешься?"
- Как чему? Скоро придут "красные". Меня - снимут, а тебя - повесят.
Новая версия анекдота (2008 год):
Выходят с фирм люди, печальные.
А навстречу им идёт женщина. Вся сияет, улыбается, машет рукой.
- Ты кто такая? Чему радуешься? - удивляются люди.
- Как чему? Я - профитор! В мире кризис. Вас всех разгоняют. А меня везде ждут.

I can translate that for you. It says that her husband died and left her a very rich widow and she is willing to give you the money if you will send her a certified check for several thousand dollars.
When I got home and looked at the e-mail, it turns out that it's in Russian and my computer at work must not have the correct font installed. I think this will work:

Grey's Anatomy is creeping me out tonight. Not sure I want to watch this
Ooo...I wonder what could be happening. :o
I'll have to wait until I get home after rehearsal, which is where I'm going right now.
Until later!
I won't tell. You'll have to watch it
I will, but I'll also need to watch last week's episode first, THEN tonight's episode.

PAGE NINE DANCE!!

Glad that arrived in plenty of time, BK.

Step into the commode it's not that far away but you really need to, a necessity: "How much you pay me?"
Pay you? You stupid nincompoop "pervert". Money - currency, I don't - think so.
How dare you ask for money (2008 hah):
Bastards I can't stand, capiche.
I have with me a bazooka. Can you imagine, you peckerwood.
- You want cash? You want me to pay you? - you're out of your mind.
- Pay you? O - buttcheek! A fool indeed. Back to your word processor. A pox on hour house.

Old anecdote:
Hitler looks at his portrait, which it hang on the wall, and he asks: " At what you are glad? "
- As to what? Soon will arrive " [krasnye]". Me - they will remove, and you - they will hang.
The new version of anecdote (2008):
Leave from the firms people, sad.
But towards them [idet] woman. Entire shines, it smiles, waves by hand.
- You who such? At what you are glad? - are surprised people.
- As to what? I - [profitor]! In the world crisis. You all they drive away. But they everywhere wait me.

Tomorrow, I'm ushering for Linda Eder (http://www.washingtoncenter.org/season/season_detail.asp?event_id=1016) in concert! I saw her in concert with Michael Feinstein in Seattle a few years ago and she was wonderful! Michael was good, too...but I'm more of a Linda fan than a Michael fan. So, I'm Wussburgering so that I can get to work early, because I have to be at the theater before 6:00 pm.

And on that note (A-natural), I'm off to bed.
Good night, all!
