Thanks to all the vibes last night---my dad and his wife really appreciated knowing how many people are out there sending vibes to my "Papasaurus".
I'm off to the hospital again so apologies in advance for bad tying on my itouch.
We will have the test results today and hopefully he can go home this afternoon. He is looking and feeling much better than when he arrived!

John Abraham and I wish DR MBARNUM a Happy Birthday!

Great news DR EDISUARUS.

My first question for ASK BK day.
Since back in the old days, reel changes messed with the sound....did composers get the film with the exact spot of the reel changes so that they could compose a few seconds of silence at those spots?
-
I recorded the series finale of BOSTON LEGAL but have not watched it yet (i still have the week before's show to watch first).
-
Happy Birthday to DR MBarnum!
Have a great day!
Btw, did you ever watch the TAR finale? What did you think?
-
It is very yucky here today. There was snow yesterday and freezing rain overnight. Lot of power outages and school closings.
-
And the word of the day is: PLEACH!
And The Song Of The Day Is: BALL OF TWINE

M BARNUM
A GREAT BIG BOLLYWOOD BIRTHDAY TO YOU

On tv tonight for me:
ABC has all new: Pushing Daisies, Private Practice, Dirty Sexy Money.
Life is new.
Top Chef NY is new.

Have a very Peter Lupus Happy Birthday

My first question for ASK BK day.
Since back in the old days, reel changes messed with the sound....did composers get the film with the exact spot of the reel changes so that they could compose a few seconds of silence at those spots?
I can help answer as an editor...we try to find spots to break the reel where no music is called for, or there is a clear scene break, or a non-dialogue area where it wouldn't matter if the reel change is off by a second or two.
-
By the time we break the reels, we usually have an idea of where music is going. Occasionally after spotting for the music cues with the composer, I have changed where the break occurs if the composer wants the music to tail out into the next scene, but very rarely.
-
Good morning, all! Today I packup some office things and ship them off to Ohio and to California. I'll be stuck there for a while, waiting the arrival of the Fed Ex pickup. After that, I think I'll come back here are wrap a few gifts I need to ship out, work a bit on Mr Loesser's score.
I see that AA Milne has written a book to celebrate DR MBarnum's natal day today. I'm very happy for you, Mikey!
-
I have little else to report at the moment. I have to call the pharmacy to stock up on meds for the trip and I need to get a ticket, if possible, for tonight's performance of John Musto's new opera at Manhattan School of Music.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday to DR MBarnum !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really thought he was born yesterday
-
I just got my tickets for my Cabaret series starting in January.
Previously announced Jerry Lanning (Original Patrick in Mame) and Sammy Williams (Bruce Kimmel's Stages & A Chorus Line) are out
They are replaced by two people I have never heard of (which is rare for me)
Valerie Lemmon & Edward Juvier. Anyone out there know of them?

I am sensing a birthday theme here today....and it is SOLID. :P ;)
Did any of our august NYC DRs hear the new Stephen Schwartz opera, Séance on a Wet Afternoon?
I figured not, or we'd likely have heard about it here, but I am curious... and have seen no press write-ups or reviews.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR MICHAEL!
-
Wednesday morning greetings! I had a medical appointment (routine screening) first thing this morning and am just getting to my desk. It's cold, windy, rainy, and foggy here in SW Ohio today. If the temp drops a little, we'll have a frozen mess.
-
Happiest of birthdays, DR MBarnum!
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our own MIKE BARNUM!!
May you have a delightful day!

Have any DRs seen THE COUNTERFEITERS? I had not heard much about it, but it won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film for 2007. Nice film. I love the soundtrack and thought it worked well. I don't recall it being discussed either either by BK or the DRs. Of course, that could be the fault of my memory.
-
Like Ginny, I'm off in a few minutes for a doctor's appointment, then I'm meeting a structural engineer to find out what's REALLY wrong or not wrong with my house.
-
TTFN.
-
DR singdaw, I thought Stephen Schwarts was still writing his opera. I would certainly like to see it.
I got my ticket for the opera tonight, and now I'm off to deal with other hells.

I saw it a few months ago. Thought it was very good; fascinating true story.
In general, I try to avoid Holocaust movies, but this was an exception.

We're in the months-long process of emptying out the house in preparation for our move to Austin, TX in late March, and I keep finding fun stuff.
Do any of you remember when People Magazine mistakenly referred to "the late Abe Vigoda"?
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And since I was up at 8:30, I decided to head out to run some errands in the neighborhood. Alas, it seemed that everyone else I was dealing with was still waking up (too).

They had presentations of it a week or two ago as part of some Opera conference here in NYC. I was not able to attend, but I know some people who did, as well as some people in the cast. Everyone involved seems to have liked it, and, thankfully, operas in their "early stage" are given more of a benefit of the doubt than their musical theatre counterparts.

Ah, here's the press release from Playbill.com:

So, if we can have "Christmas in July", I guess that could make today, "Easter in December".

I slept about an hour longer than I usually do. Consequently, I'm running way behind my usual schedule for the morning activities. I'll have to clean the den while lunch is cooking, though I did find time to do my workout this morning.

Waiting for me on the porch a little bit ago were three review discs: EAGLE EYE, THE DUCHESS, and GHOST TOWN. Looks like I'll be doing EAGLE EYE today.

I'm up, I'm up - equilibrium seems better this morning. When I got into bed and put my head on the pillow it seemed like the whole room was spinning crazily.
-
Jrand, edisaurus answered your question perfectly. It was a lesson I learned when I was in the editing room doing Nudie Musical.
-
Thanks for the information, DR JoseSPiano! :) :)
-
If I can de-groggify, I'll try to jog by 8:45 - if not, this afternoon, then.
-
Glad you're feeling better, bk. When that happened to me once, the doctor suggested that ear wax buildup could affect one's balance.

DR MBarnum:
I’ve traveled ‘round this world a couple of times in my life. And everywhere I’ve been, I’ve seen the things for which many places are well-known. But I have also tried to find undiscovered treasures…something that would make these places unique for me beyond the picture postcard remembrances.
I once heard of an exotic bird called a Rary. And the legends surrounding this bird all say that it is people-friendly, but very hard to find. Everyone who has reported encountering the bird has said it has a funny way of walking, that it will perch on your finger and that it enjoys being tipped over on its perch.
I decided I had to see this wondrous creature, so whenever I was near a place where a Rary had been reported, I’d venture off the beaten path and see if I could find one.
I’ve been through the rain forests of Hawaii and the Philippines; I’ve been to remote regions of Japan and Malaysia; I’ve searched in Africa in the Kenyan highlands. I’ve climbed Mount Olympus in Greece, and I’ve wandered the wind-ravaged plains of eastern Turkey. I’ve even crossed the alps into Switzerland, Austria and Italy.
Sadly, I’ve never seen one of these fabulous birds. I can’t even say that I’ve “just missed” seeing one. But I can say I’ve traveled many miles in search of one, and I know beyond any doubt about my journey:
It's a long, long way to tip a Rary.
Fortunately, though, I have only to ramble on a bit to wish you a Very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Well, it would certainly reduce the amount of posts here at HHW for the day! :)

Glad you're feeling better, bk. When that happened to me once, the doctor suggested that ear wax buildup could affect one's balance.
And......WAS IT ear wax buildup? :)
-
Never did find out! I never scheduled the appointment with a specialist to have my ears cleaned, and the imbalance just went away on its own.
-
I was thrilled, thrilled, thrilled at the results of last night's "The Biggest Loser".
And I voted for ED!
-
I think we should ask Liza's character on Arrested Development, who suffers from chronic vertigo.

Thank you Ron Pulliam for the birthday poem!

Never did find out! I never scheduled the appointment with a specialist to have my ears cleaned, and the imbalance just went away on its own.
I went to a doctor once after I'd been swimming in a heated pool. The heated water got into my ears, melted the ear wax which coated my ear drum.
The doctor told me that the ear "cleans itself" and that I should be patient.
I went to another doctor who cleaned my ears and gave me pointers on how to handle the "increased" ear wax buildup that comes with age.
-
DR Jennifer, yes I loved the TAR finale. I noticed that Dallas and his mom were not there at the end...I presume they were still stranded in Russia trying to locate their passports or get new ones.

I know there are some fans of the film "Auntie Mame" on this forum, and I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that a wonderful thing has happened: Bronislau Kaper's sparkling score is now available on CD from the Film Score Monthly label (http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=10971).
Previously available only on LP, in either mono or stereo, the score has long been out of print and highly collectible, especially in Stereo. FSM got access to the Warner Brothers recording master and has produced the best sound ever for the glorious score.
An added bonus, for me anyway, is that "Auntie Mame" is paired with Max Steiner's gorgeous score for "Rome Adventure."

Still very gray but very warm outside. No rain yet.

I watched last night's new episode of LEVERAGE while I ate lunch. Very entertaining episode. But hunky Christian Kane needs to cut his hair. That Samson thing doesn't work for someone of his short (but muscular) stature.
-
Then I watched EAGLE EYE. Very entertaining action thriller. I loved how it didn't talk down to the audience. For more than the first half of the film, you just have to go with the flow because you're not sure why these things are happening. Slowly but surely, however, the conspiracy plot becomes clear as it continues to ratchet up the tension. Really enjoyed it.
-
I started on the bonus features. There were two on the first disc, and I've watched three on the second bonus features disc. There are five more items on the disc, so I should be able to easily finish with them early this evening and then have time to watch HEROES and skim though AS THE WORLD TURNS before I start watching LIFE about 9:30 or so.

I am enjoying it, and thanks for the recommendation. Looks like TNT has another winner, though I haven't read any ratings results for either of its airings.

We have finished the gift bags. A record number (sadly), 3,700 bags done in record time. We began last Monday, December 1st and finished this afternoon, Wednesday, December 10th. We had a surge of volunteers today and were able to fill all the remaining bags. All that remains is delivery on Saturday (I don't do the delivery part, I work all week and let the others pack up the cars for delivery). There is a volunteer party on Sunday but as of 3:30 this afternoon I am now officially on vacation!
We will go to Lincoln Center either tomorrow or Friday to see a costume exhibit recommended by friends and we will also go to the Morgan Library to see an exhibit of drawings and other material from Babar (a favorite character of mine).
That's it for now from Chelsea.
Later, Gaters.

Congrats on your accomplishment, Ben!
ENJOY YOUR VACATION!!!

Glad you're feeling better, bk. When that happened to me once, the doctor suggested that ear wax buildup could affect one's balance.
This may be TMI, but too bad. ;) My dad's hearing has been getting progressively worse over the last year. It was so bad that we actually had to look directly at him, speak VERY clearly and over-enunciate everything so that he could read our lips. :( Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, he FINALLY went to have his ears checked out and guess what...it was all just wax that had built up in his ear! They had to (carefully) scrape it out :P and now he has perfect hearing. :)

This may be TMI, but too bad. ;) My dad's hearing has been getting progressively worse over the last year. It was so bad that we actually had to look directly at him, speak VERY clearly and over-enunciate everything so that he could read our lips. :( Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, he FINALLY went to have his ears checked out and guess what...it was all just wax that had built up in his ear! They had to (carefully) scrape it out :P and now he has perfect hearing. :)
Did y'all save all that wax to make candles?
:D
Ew.
-
And no, they didn't.
;)

O frabjous day, callooh, callay!
Papasaurus goes home today!
Thanks for all the vibes!!
And I am going to go home and sleeeep!
Great news, Edi!! ;D
-
I want to go out again and see this new opera tonight about as much as I want a hemorrhoidectomy with no anesthesia, but since my goddaughter's mother is now the cair of the opera dept at Manhattan School of Music . . .
I really am looking forward to hearing it, but I'm not a fan of the conductor Michael Barrett and I'd rather stay in. However, duty calls.
-
duty calls.
When doody calls, you don't always have to answer! ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MBARNUM!!!!!

Back from a jam-packed little day. I had a nice breakfast meeting that actually took two hours. I then came home for but a moment, then went to the Apple Store where I bought a new mouse - I've been using an ancient Logitech mouse from my old Dell days - this new mouse is nice and sleek and CLEAN.
-
I then met a friend around two-thirty and we went to the Studio Cafe, where I had some Buffalo drumettes and a teeny-tiny salad.
-
I was quite grouchy today. I hate it when that happens
-
I had a client who was in court on an intitial appearance for not paying a fine. The judge told her to pay her fines or go to another planet. Seriously. What on earth does that mean? LOL

There's a story on NBC news tonight that Library use is up and more people have library cards than ever before.
-
I wish cleaning my ears would fix my hearing problem, alas it is due to nerve damage. At least I don't need a hearing aid yet :)

I thought Fed Exwould never find me at Toyland today. However, all four cartons went to Ohio and a huge carton went to BK in Valley Village.
I have some things to do here before the opry.
Did you find your bills, without opening all the boxes?
I fear they were in the boxes that went to Ohio last week.
Are you going to call & ask them to look for the bills or have you been able to duplicate them?
-

I've used Q tips to clean my ears all my life. They say never to do that, but I haven't had a problem.
-
DR Cilla, I did have the hearing in my right ear improve drastically the day the doctor pulled the cotton from a Qtip out of it. ;D
-
What? What did you say?
-
This actor played a famous part in the late 60's and was notably famous for appearing undraped. Can you identify him?

-
DR ELMORE - surely they will send the bills back to you, if they know to open the boxes and look for them.
-
But do you know what planet you're on?
Not always!

LOL...sometimes it's best. Then you don't know if you're a native or an alien. :)

Are the planets doing something today...it was a strange day..

Well the sun did square Uranus today. Even though the Sagittarius Sun with its freedom-loving ways has a natural affinity with independent Uranus, this square still presents the challenge to break free from old self-definitions.
And tomorrow Mars squares Uranus - there are few combinations that are as rebellious as when these two get together! One thing's for sure: you won't want anyone telling you what to do -- although you're sure to be challenged now! As always when Uranus is involved, liberating yourself from old patterns is essential. Whichever way you're used to doing things, do yourself a favor and step back, see what's working, what's not and proceed from there.
-
A job well done, DR BEN. Now enjoy your vacation!
-
Yes it is Romeo hiz sef - Leonard Whiting.

Time for din din and Jeopardy!
And TOP CHEF is on tonight!
DR JOSE must be trimming the tree.
We haven't had many tree reports yet this year......up or down?
We don't trim a tree at my house....so nothing to report at this end.

My Christmas tree is up! It's a little, 2-foot tall table-top model that's in my kitchen window. I'll take a picture and post it when I get home. :)
-
Great - we without trees always appreciate photos.
-
MEN WITHOUT TREES - that's the title of something or other, right?

I have no tree at home, but have a funky wooden one with lights on it at the office
-
Time for din din and Jeopardy!
You really need to work on those knife skills!
-
Der B and I bought a tree once.
That was quite enough.
The dogs thought it was a toy of some sort.
POUNCE!!!!!

Happy
Birthday
Mikey!!!
-
I am quite satisfied with what I've been finding at Jessica's Biscuit, but thank-you, DR Jose.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SWEET, AND VERY INNOCENT DR MBARNUM!
-
VERY INNOCENT

:)
-
Hoping that DR vixmom and family are OK.
Glad about the news from DR Edisaurus regarding her father.
Worried about Laura DR and her sister.
-
I'm finished with stuff. I'm now watching a motion picture I TIVOd - quite good.
-
Congratulations, DR Ben, on the great work for a noble cause.
Between you and DRs RLP, DtM, and Ginny, I envy all those who have extra time off at the holidays!
Yeah, I don't think I'll really feel retired until Jan. 2 - until then it'll just feel like a nice long holiday vacation.
-
Kudos to DR Ben and all the BC/EFA volunteers!

For years & years I begged my mother-in-law to get hearing aids. Once she finally did she was shocked at how much she had been missing. Most shocking of all was how loud the volume on the TV had been set. ;D
-
We're still on page seven?
-
No, we're not, we're on page eight. Who said we were on page seven?
-
DR LAURA........
-
Just to get some excitement into the proceedings this evening....here is a preview for some solid entertainment.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=182nx_ztM1M
-
With music by Ronald Stein.....the deputy is played by Frank Chase, son of screenwriter Borden Chase (Red River) and brother of dancer Barrie.
DEATH and DESIRE........................
-
Thanks for DRs Jane and Druxy for feedback on THE COUNTERFEITERS.
-
DR ELMORE - surely they will send the bills back to you, if they know to open the boxes and look for them.
I'm not certain they're in a carton. I just cannot find the damned things.
Back from the opera. Well sung, interestingly staged, but did I like it? Not very much. Some lovely music, and a wonderful ensemble in a rainstorm.
-
Good Evening!
And now....
-
Yes it is Romeo hiz sef - Leonard Whiting.

According to Franco Zeffirelli's bio, our young Leonard was "very ambitious." Hmmmmmmmm . . .

Update on my home sale:
I met with the structural engineer today. He said three beams need sistering, not six, and that it'll cost under $1000. The other structural issue is, in his opinion, a non-issue; there's evidence of some old water damage that was corrected ages ago, but there's no problem now.
I am greatly relieved. Now, will my buyers feel satisfied with the engineer's report or will they believe the people they brought in, neither of whom is a structural engineer? I know who I believe! All this fuss because their home inspector was out to lunch.
-
Vindication feels good.
-
Thanks again to all our supportive DRs!
-
Good night.
-
DR Jeanne - and other DRs - I've actually always wondered why the home inspection comes after the offer has been made. Can and do buyers - or the current owners - ever request a home inspection before the offer is made. -Or even before the house is put up for sale?
-
DR Ben - Congrats and Thank You! to you and all of the other volunteers. -I'm just sorry that I was not able to participate this year.
-
DR Jeanne - and other DRs - I've actually always wondered why the home inspection comes after the offer has been made. Can and do buyers - or the current owners - ever request a home inspection before the offer is made. -Or even before the house is put up for sale?
I have no idea. :-\ I wondered that myself.
-
I am quite satisfied with what I've been finding at Jessica's Biscuit, but thank-you, DR Jose.
You're welcome. ;)
*But just in case you happen to have a "memory" of a particular cookbook that may now be out-of-print...
-
Time to head home, watch TV and do some laundry. I need to wash some of my costume pieces for the show.
Until later!
-
Der B and I bought a tree once.
That was quite enough.
The dogs thought it was a toy of some sort.
POUNCE!!!!!
-Just as long as they didn't dig a hole in the backyard and bury it. Or did they?
;)
-
Vindication feels good.
I hope it also sells your house!!!

A buyer might look at a home inspection you provide, but as a buyer I would not trust it without having my own person check it out. The problem, usually the buyer uses an inspector their Realtor recommends.
In this case, if I were the buyer I might request an extension on the inspection period & hire a structure specialist.

And here are the stars from the Time-Warner Center Atrium:

CLOSE YORE EYEZ.....here it be.
You can see his ambition from here, DR ELMORE.

I made it a link instead of the full out BEHIND! :o
-
Gosh, I don't remember the bedroom scene in the play.
-
His message board at IMDB is all a twitter with boppers who think he looks just like Zac Efron!
-
Gosh, I don't remember the bedroom scene in the play.
Well that Shakespeare guy can always be improved on, doncha know.
-
We saw it at the DRIVE IN MOVIE THEATER and stayed to see it twice!

I guess that was the Page Nine Classical Booty Dance.

TOP CHEF.....

I like to watch them from a distance, but I don't like to see their faces UPCLOSE.
-
What is a sous chef?
-
DR TCB I hope you are feeling better tonight.
-
TOP CHEF is one hour and fifteen minutes tonight.
I bought DARK KNIGHT today.
-
The word TOP in TOP CHEF is also not suitable for work, depending on your office's filtering system.
Of course, some people's actual work is at times not suitable for work, either. :)
-
I always get Leonard Whiting and Margaret Whiting confused.
-
Ooh, thanks for the warning about the length of Top chef, Jrand.
-
Yes it is Romeo hiz sef - Leonard Whiting.
(http://videodetective.com/photos/053/002230_1.jpg)
A shame. He never did find a time for us.
-
"Just a sad plate" - that's the name of my new something or other
-
(a Top Chef commercial teaser reference)
-
"None of us expected anyone but me to win" - What a humble sentiment; I think I'll have it embroidered on a pillow
-
I was hoping I would see George on line tonight. I wanted him to know that I met his friend and director, Joss, tonight. He an I are doing a show together. He is playing the role of Cosme McMoon, who was the piano player (because I am too tired to try and spell accompanist) for Florence Foster Jenkins. Josh seemed like a very nice man and a fine actor, which is good, because he is male lead in the show GLORIOUS.
-
I always get Leonard Whiting and Margaret Whiting confused.
So does her husband.
-
DR TCB I hope you are feeling better tonight.
Actually, I am. Nothing like starting work on a new production to improve your total well being. Thanks for asking, Jane.
-
! ! ! ! ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DR MBARNUM ! ! ! ! !
-
Sorry about being so E & T these past few days--my life is a whirlwind of house cleaning, shopping, decorating and dealing with surprise guest stars.
-
Had a full evening of entertaining viewing. I began by finishing the remaining bonus features on the EAGLE EYE second disc. I enjoyed having the director D. J. Caruso and director John Badham talking about the movie and about Badham's movie WAR GAMES.
-
Still no word about DR Laura?
-
I bought DARK KNIGHT today.
Mine on Blu-ray didn't come from Amazon today, but I'm hoping it will be here tomorrow. Since I'm taking the day off tomorrow, I can watch the film then if it arrives.
-
Next, I watched the last episode of BONES from the latest box set. This was the dog fighting episode that DR Jane did not view (but which really doesn't show any fighting except in two or three photographs) and featured an interesting dog whisperer whose way with the dogs was really fascinating. I enjoyed seeing the show again.
-
Next I revisited a film I've been wanting to watch again for weeks: A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. I didn't get all the way through it, but basically have Tom/Joey ready to return to Philadelphia.
-
I bought THE DARK KNIGHT in a massive DVD purchase at Best Buy yesterday, but I don't know why I did--I despise the movie.
-
Next I watched HEROES which the NBC affiliate ran this afternoon. I enjoyed the episode, but it got lopped off a couple of minutes early, so I'll have to watch the recap on Monday carefully to see what happened at the very end.
-
Next came tonight's LIFE which had a fun episode (for the most part). I should have figured out the killer but I didn't.
-
And LAW & ORDER had an episode filled with ebbs and flows, twists and turns that ended in a real surprise.
And it was also fun seeing the actor who plays the straight Casey on AS THE WORLD TURNS playing a sleazy male prostitute on tonight's episode.
-
OK, evening surf completed and now I think I'll head downstairs to bed.
Good night!
-
Thanks Cillaliz!
-
Thank you S Woody White and dear TCB!
-
Thanks Dan (the man)
-
My sister and my mom took me out to dinner tonight. We ate at Marco Polo. I had the spinach ravioli. It was very, very tasty!
-
Bosco, however, doesn't feel to good. He threw up once more while I was at work. Poor guy. He doesn't feel like eating even his treats tonight. Hopefully his tummy will feel better tomorrow.
-
I'm sorry Bosco doesn't feel well, especially on your birthday. I hope he is better by tomorrow.
'night
-
DR Singdaw, thank you for the very nice birthday card!
-
I decided to go to a singer showcase this evening. Spotty, but I had a good time and saw a bunch of people I know.
-
~~~~~GET WELL TAIL-WAGGIN' VIBES TO DD BOSCO~~~~~

Tomorrow at work, we have our annual holiday gift exchange break and potluck lunch. I made a very large chocolate chip cookie (to be cut up into pieces) for the potluck.
-
I still have to think of something to bring for the gift exchange. I thought that I bought something, but I can't remember what it might be. :-\
-
I hate it when that happens.
