Well, you've read the notes, the notes were quite French and should be pardoned, and now it is time for you to post until the French cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: COGNATE!
-
Welcome six GUESTS who are looking at old topics, none of which are in French.
-
***ENCOURAGING TEST RESULTS VIBES***
for DRs Tomovoz and Edisaurus!!!!!
-
And the word of the day is: COGNATE!
And, of course, the French cognate for cognate is apparenté.
But you knew that already, right?
-
I am up
That is all
-
***POSITIVE TEST RESULTS VIBES***
for DRs Tomovoz and Edisaurus!!!!!
I am not sure what kind of test they are taking, but if they are medical don't you want them to be negative? Negative is good
-
As for TOD of the day I thought of one the other day, but I can no longer remember it. I should have written it down. Perhaps I will remember it during the day.

So....what is everyone's vote for WORST ORIGINAL CAST RECORDING....worst as in technical or singing not content......

DR ELMORE I have your Dot Provine ready to go. DR MATTHEW I can't do any track splitting, but I can record INNER CITY for you. Maybe you can figure out how to break up the tracks, if you're still interested let me know.
-
I tried everything DR BEN suggested, except recording the tracks individually....the placement of the turntable not in view of the computer makes that difficult.

DR JOSE whose life is being portrayed in that show you saw? And did you know the MCNY does regular musical evenings?

So....what is everyone's vote for WORST ORIGINAL CAST RECORDING....worst as in technical or singing not content......
Good question...
To me, there's technical/sloppy like the OCR of A CHORUS LINE, which has so much background noise that I think they recorded it in the cafeteria. But then there's ANNIE, recorded in Columbia's SQ(?) technology, which was aimed for quadrophonic stereos. But on just plain old two channel stereos, the voices bounce back and forth like ping-pong balls between speakers.
I do not like any of the singing on the FOLLIES IN CONCERT recording--too much emphasis on the performers and not on the songs (and most of those performers delivered lackluster performances.)

$10,000 friggin dollars for a minimum bid?!?!?
I know it's the estate of Klotz that is putting it up on E-Bay and according to the American Theatre Wing the rules about selling a Tony don't apply to this one. Still, greed is alive and well.

Wednesday morning greetings! Yesterday was quite interesting, weather-wise. I left for Dayton about 10:30, attended 2 meetings, and did errands both before and after, in sunshine and on dry roads. When I left the downtown Dayton post office about 4:15, I called Richard and he said there was a blizzard here at home (about 25 miles south). On my drive home, I saw no snow until just north of here. Apparently, the storm tracked south and Cincinnati (about 30 miles to the south) got even more snow than we did. Today the sun's out and the fresh snow is sparkling.
-
Anthony is on Long Island getting the car, etc. for the trip north(west). He said the snow is heavier on Long Island than here in the city (not unusual at all). He said driving was treacherous. He was going to do some errands yesterday when he arrived but the conditions made him change his mind. He just stayed in and ate comfort food and got himself ready for the trip.

Yeah, far too pricey in my mind, particularly for an award for GRIND. Now if it was the Tony she had won for FOLLIES, maybe the amount would be warrented.
The estate has also been selling some of her costume sketches for FOLLIES on eBay. But again, at $4,000 a pop, too pricey for my wallet.

Not a lot of snow down in the South of Jersey--just enough to have to spend a half hour shoveling the side walk and cleaning off the car this morning. The roads were just wet for the most part so driving over the bridge was a breeze.
-
Travel vibes for Anthony!!! As someone who's been crazy enough to go to Wisconsin in the wintertime, I don't envy him the drive.

We are going hiking today. It is supposed to be 82 degrees today.

RE: last night's AMERICAN IDOL
I am sort of getting annoyed at how many people they are not showing.
There are some (who will surely be in the top 36) who are getting ridiculous amounts of airtime. And there are many who have still never been seen.
I know with 2 weeks of Hollywood auditions being shown we will most likely get to see everyone. But i just find it quite unfair. Don't they understand that people pick their favorites early. And they need to show all the good ones, not just a few who will have a ridiculous advantage.
I don't think they do this but i wish we could see all 160 people singing last night (on their website).
-
I am listening to Gal Costa
You've been acosta-ed, then?

So it looks like I'll be doing Spike Lee's MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA on Blu-ray this afternoon. After doing a 45-minute short feature yesterday for my work assignment, Lee's movie is 160 minutes! Yikes! I'll be on this all day up until the time I start watching back some recorded shows.

I have a question for the library workers here (or even people who use the library a lot).
Is it common to cut up little paperbacks?
My sister's library takes their small paperbacks and cuts off the front and back and glues it on to this hard covered frame.
Now it obviously makes the books last a lot longer. But it just seems so wrong to me to cut up books.
-
Sorry you didn't have a good night, DR vixmom. Here's to better ones ahead! :)
-
RE IDOL:
Hopefully with the group numbers tonight, we'll hear more singing but thinking to years past, that wasn't the case either, so I just don't know. The manufactured "drama" of people having meltdowns shown on-camera is old and unappealing. Oh, I don't doubt the singers' sincerity. I'm sure the pressure is enormous. But the camera going in close to get all of the emotional collapses is not entertaining to me.

After reading the symptoms of salmonella in this morning's paper, I'm thinking that may indeed may have been what I had a week or so ago. Though I can't for the life of me figure out where I got the peanuts, as that is not a regular part of my diet.

Could someone post that link again for the recalled items? We're assuming Adam's Natural Peanut Butter is not on it, but we want to make sure.

DR Jennifer - that's a standard rebinding practice for paperbacks. The alternative would probably be discarding the book all together.

The Henry Miller Theater is now just a shell, literally, of the former facility. When redevelopment began on 42nd and 43rd Streets east of Broadway huge patches of the landscape were torn down, except for the "landmarked" facade of the Henry Miller. It was saved but the interior was not (because the interior was not landmarked) so we will have a new Henry Miller Theatre with the old outside but a brand new inside.
-
DR JOSE whose life is being portrayed in that show you saw? And did you know the MCNY does regular musical evenings?
DR JRand - It's probably best to consult one of the press releases (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/125876.html) or the show's website (http://www.thestoryofmylife.com/) for the "who?" of the show. -Especially since I'm still a bit cloudy-headed right now.
What is "MCNY"?
-
I'm seeing both 33 Variations and The Story of My Life (thanks to TDF) next week.
-
Oh...
Once again, I really did like The Story of My Life. However, since I feel sort of close to the production, I shall refrain from posting a more elaborate review (for now). However, if any other DRs happen to see the show, review and opine away!
*But I will say it was nice to hear Jonathan Tunick's orchestrations after listening to the synth'd demos for a while. It's scored for piano, drums, bass, violin, viola, cello, clarinet, bassoon(!) and trumpet. Beautiful work as always. -And Mr. Tunick was in attendance last night along with the rest of the creative team.

What do you recall about your working on the MASH episode that I saw last week, particularly your impression of the cast and crew.
Was MASH a show that you watched regularly at that time? And what was your opinion of that series, if so.
I actually have a vivid memory of doing the show, for several reasons. One reason was that I was on the show one day for my two scenes. It was very nerve-wracking because my musical version of The Comedy Of Errors was in the American College Theater Festival finals and we had a performance that night in Long Beach. I was petrified I wouldn't get out in time, and since I was playing one of the keyboards...
When I arrived, I remember Loretta Swit coming up to me and shaking my hand, saying "Welcome to MASH." I'd never watched the TV version. I met Alda, who was very nice. The one person I never saw the entire time was the director - Earl Bellamy if I remember correctly. Never met him, never saw him, never talked to him. I'm sure he was there, but I found that really odd. Alda was very complimentary when I was doing my little scene in the bed. I did get out by six, and I remember the traffic was absolutely horrendous to Long Beach. I think I got there ten minutes before curtain.

I liked "Sex and Single Girl." It is not great but has some funny moments. I think I read that it was Henry Fonda's least favorite film, but I liked him in it.

The guys in my basement are really nice. They have the tack strips down and the pad installed. They just took a break for lunch and to cut the carpet to fit the room. Then they'll come back and do the carpet. It's already a lot warmer in the basement.
I let the girls go see the progress. They were pretty freaked by the pad. I think it was the glue to put down the pad. Whoa! I opened the sliding glass door for a little bit and it smells much better.

Boo was funny earlier. She managed to get through the door I have shut (it's a swinging door) she went downstairs when I was talking to the guys, ran around the room to be sure we all saw her and then ran back upstairs. LOL, she is such a character

I walked up Broadway to 96th Street and down Amsterdam. That's 28 blocks. It's a bit slippery out but the cold wasn't awful and I enjoyed myself. There were several ambulances and fire trucks out with screaming sirens so something was afoot and the Broadway downtown side was blocked off at 94th Street by police cars. I make it a rule to curb my curiosity and clear out of the way.
One last set of receipts to tally up and my taxes are finished. I just paid my third of the property taxes on the Ohio white elephant so my fiscal duties for the week are nearly accomplished.
-
Well, Bailey was great at the specialist's and we really liked her. He snuggles with everyone he meets and kisses them and makes friends fast. She confirmed that what looks like a swollen tear duct is a cyst between the two tear ducts. It could be removed by surgery ($2500!) but that could also create more problems than it might be worth. But between the time we took him to his regular et yesterday and this morning before we left, somehow the cyst drained. (I'm sorry, I should have warned the squeamish.) It's just clear liquid in there. I don't know if he rubbed his face until he opened it up a bit at the bottom but it's much better, so we may just continue to keep an eye on it (a little opthamology humor) and see what happens.
So now our plan is just to have his teeth cleaned and while he's knocked out, do a little exploring, but no surgery at this time.
Thanks for all the vibes...maybe that's what created the drainage! :-)

This is quite an exciting week. Today I'm getting my new carpet and Friday Edith is getting married! I am going to be one of the witnesses. It's just a small civil ceremony and they will do a bigger wedding in California next summer. She's tried to play it down, but I know she's excited.
As soon as the carpet is in, I'm going to go get a gift certificate for them. There are such good sales on and I don't really know what they need or want so I'll get a certificate and they can get whatever they want. Of course she also gets a paid day off, that goes without saying. I'm very excited about it and was thrilled when she asked me to be a witness

DR JRand, if you are not completely happy with the looks of your theatre company's website, maybe you can get help from the person who designed this one: www.yvettesbridalformal.com (http://yvettesbridalformal.com/) (be sure to wait to download the entirely appropriate music clip!)
DR CillaLiz, maybe Edith can shop for a gown on this page (if she can figure out exactly where to click, that is...)

After reading the symptoms of salmonella in this morning's paper, I'm thinking that may indeed may have been what I had a week or so ago. Though I can't for the life of me figure out where I got the peanuts, as that is not a regular part of my diet.
This is scary. Because of my nut allergies I tend to read labels. You don't always realize what is mixed in there unless you read the ingredients.
I hope you don't get that again!!!

DR DtM - I appreciate your interest, but I think we will keep our site the way it is.
HOWEVER, I do think DR CILLA LIZ's friend Edith should check out Yvette's site.

RE IDOL:
Hopefully with the group numbers tonight, we'll hear more singing but thinking to years past, that wasn't the case either, so I just don't know. The manufactured "drama" of people having meltdowns shown on-camera is old and unappealing. Oh, I don't doubt the singers' sincerity. I'm sure the pressure is enormous. But the camera going in close to get all of the emotional collapses is not entertaining to me.
Well one thing that makes me hopefull is that this year Hollywood is being shown over 2 weeks. So probably they will show more?

I watched last night's LEVERAGE while I cooked and ate lunch. Good episode, but we got down to the final six minutes or so, and things looked pretty hopeless for the team. They wrapped it up very quickly (but it was a satisfying end).
-
I spent most of the afternoon with MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA. It's a affecting war drama (with a little mystery thrown in), but it could have been shortened by at least 45 minutes.
I certainly didn't expect to see D.B. Sweeney, Robert John Burke, Walton Goggins, and Gordon-Joseph Levitt in the movie. Peter Frechette pops up briefly in a courtroom scene, too.
-
There were 9 deleted/extended scenes that I had time to watch. All were wisely cut/trimmed.
There are two more featurettes that will total about 30 more minutes of bonus features to watch. I'll finish it when I go back down.

I have a question for the library workers here (or even people who use the library a lot).
Is it common to cut up little paperbacks?
My sister's library takes their small paperbacks and cuts off the front and back and glues it on to this hard covered frame.
Now it obviously makes the books last a lot longer. But it just seems so wrong to me to cut up books.
DR Jennifer - that's a standard rebinding practice for paperbacks. The alternative would probably be discarding the book all together.
I did not know that. I need to check my library. But i have never seen a book rebinded in this way. Although all the soft covers i've taken out from my library have been the larger one. I am going to check and see what the smaller ones look like. But i just found it very odd (it looks odd too).

The CD should still have some sort of "digital identity", even if the track names are not encoded. I've imported a couple of CDs into iTunes that have not the track names encoded on the disk, but it was just a matter of fetching those names from the online database based on the disc's' identity.

Fix one problem...cause another:
LATIMES (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/02/digital-tv-dela.html)
But the delay also could make the confusing transition even more perplexing for some viewers.
TV stations are allowed to seek federal approval to turn off their analog signals before the new deadline. So instead of nearly all broadcasters making the switch on Feb. 17, stations now may ...
... make the switch at different times over the next four months.
That could create another hiccup: Some converter boxes don't have the ability to "pass through" analog signals. As a result, in areas where both digital and analog signals are transmitted, viewers with the wrong converter box may have to unplug the device to watch one channel broadcast in analog, then plug it back in to watch another in digital.

Just finalized the first in our new LACCTAA series of four events, which will start on March 21st. An afternoon with David Lee, creator of Frazier, and director of several acclaimed theatrical productions here in LA, several at the Pasadena Playhouse and several at Reprise. We'll do a Q&A as well.

Not only do we have photo radar vans that move from place to place, we also have permanent cameras all along the freeways.
We have all that stuff, too. But we're not on the list!

DR JMK - Just remember, you can get salmonella from things other than peanuts. Are eggs a normal part of your diet?
I always wash the eggs before cracking them open.
What DR DERBRUCER said. ;)
It is still better to wash them than not to. ;D
Well, whether you wash your eggs or not, it still comes down to cooking them properly.
I know, except I like soft boiled eggs & lightly cooked scrambled.

We are going hiking today. It is supposed to be 82 degrees today.
I was very happy to have sunshine & 60 degree weather yesterday. Right now it is about 50 degrees. Alas rain is expected tomorrow.
It is a beautiful day today in Tacoma. A lot of blue sky and sunshine. It probably isn't over 50, but it feels great.

I have a question for the library workers here (or even people who use the library a lot).
Is it common to cut up little paperbacks?
My sister's library takes their small paperbacks and cuts off the front and back and glues it on to this hard covered frame.
Now it obviously makes the books last a lot longer. But it just seems so wrong to me to cut up books.
It's common in bookstores to return overstock paperbacks by tearing off the covers and returning only the covers for credit.
Heck, there's a gal that work for the company that supplies us with paperbacks that sits down with the books that aren't selling and gets ripped just tears into her work.

I like my eggs

TOD:
Do any of you folks have photo radar on your streets and freeways? Or is this something that is unique to Arizona?
We do. There is one just up the street from me.
Not in Ashland but Medford has them. We found out the hard way. You don't see it until it flashes in the driver's face, almost blinding the driver. The passenger on the other hand completely misses it until the driver yells-"I couldn't see, what was that!"

Soft-boiling and lightly cooked scrambling are still proper cooking methods. They may not be "thorough", but they're proper. ;)

It was 63 degrees here & should have felt warm. Without the sun it was a bit chilly.

I think DR ELMORE can live with Dorothy in two pieces instead of 10....so I will send that to him myself.

Just heard Denny's gave away 2 million Grand Slams yesterday
Not a bad "return" for "investing" FIVE million dollars in their first-ever Super Bowl commercial. Now it's just a matter to see how much return paying business they get as a result of the promotion.
Well, assuming that most of the people, at least, tasted the breakfast, probably not much.

Ok, the carpet is in. The furniture is somewhat random right now. The rocker was my great grandmother's so that will stay. The table will stay too, but I'll probably paint the base depending on whatever I do with the decorating. It still needs to be trimmed out, but it's getting close!
-
Very nice, Cillaliz.
-
It is looking very nice, Cilla!
-
OK, here's the bathroom and the light that gave me a third degree burn. I replaced the bulbs with lower watt bulbs and that seems to have helped a lot. I am still going to put in a chair rail between the wallpaper and the paint.There used to be a big cabinet over the stool, it's a little room but looks much bigger without the cabinet
-
Thanks guys. My mom has painted the base of that table so many times, lol. The base is blue and the sides of the leaves are yellow! I'm thinking a deep red would be cool
-
here's the carpet
-
Deep red sounds like it would work. You did a great job on both rooms. I really like the shades of the paint & carpet together.
-
here's the carpet
The close shows off the carpet better. I can see why you are thinking deep red for the table.
-
Thanks Jane.
-
One of the carpet installers gave me the name of a guy who is a finish trimmer and loves to do side jobs. So, I'm going to call him and get an estimate. I know I can do it myself, but if he is reasonable enough, it would be done a lot quicker and probably a lot better :)
-
LIFE is back! Yay!
-
yes DR CILLA LIZ the idea of deep red there is tres jolie.

I am recording INNER CITY to send to JMK to split and send to DR MATTHEW.

We have arranged a hotel for the extra 4 days at a very reasonable rate for a very nice place. So at least that's done.
The Vixter is far too nice to rip what needed to be ripped - Vixdad had a go but he's British and doesn't have the killer instinct this New Yorker has.
A strongly worded letter is being worked on. We own 2 weeks at this place and have done for over 20 years. We were promised something "absolutely" which was not delivered and I am not happy at all.
Oh well ... no time to get the blood pressure up

Thank you DRs for your support.
My lastest unseemly cell count is down from last time. It is now down 0.4 from six months ago.
No-one knows why in fact what is going on - other than the effect of the wishes and prayers of supportive friends. No more stress for another three months!
I don't know is I shared the information before but I did light a candle when in France - it was in Condom Cathedral. It somehow seemed appropriate. My surgeon will no doubt use that story!

It appears that the theme song from Gran Torino (Jamie Cullum) is only available as a download. I thus can not have a hard copy and can not compile a disc of this year's Golden Globe and Oscar song nominees.
I've tried by converting to wave files but it still can't be copied. I am vexed!
Tom, Google "Protected Music Converter" and download it--you get a couple of uses free before you need to pay the Shareware price, which isn't bad, as I recall.
Thank you DR JMK. I hope I can cope with that.

I have a question for the library workers here (or even people who use the library a lot).
Is it common to cut up little paperbacks?
My sister's library takes their small paperbacks and cuts off the front and back and glues it on to this hard covered frame.
Now it obviously makes the books last a lot longer. But it just seems so wrong to me to cut up books.
DR Jennifer - that's a standard rebinding practice for paperbacks. The alternative would probably be discarding the book all together.
I did not know that. I need to check my library. But i have never seen a book rebinded in this way. Although all the soft covers i've taken out from my library have been the larger one. I am going to check and see what the smaller ones look like. But i just found it very odd (it looks odd too).
DR George may be able to confirm this, but I think libraries can even purchase new paperbacks pre-bound in the manner you describe. The library from which I just retired acquired paperbacks with heavy-duty clear plastic covers.
Prebound books can be bought, but they're more expensive than regular paperbacks (of course). But they do last a lot longer, so money is saved in the long run. Otherwise, libraries can send tattered but otherwise still readable books to a bindery, where the covers are removed and the pages are put into new hardback covers with or without the original covers used as artwork. It's done in our library system all the time. Ultimately, it's the information in the book that the patron wants and the library wants to keep. We're not storing "collectibles" to retain the value of historical items, so the original condition and format are not important.

RE: American Idol.
DR Jose, i think you are right. Some of the hollywood shows in other years might have been 2 hours. So maybe they are just saying that they are having extended 2 week coverage.
I'm guessing DR MattH will not like tonight's show. They focus a lot on the drama and very little on the singing. Also they cut a few people with potential. And there are 75 left and they have not shown most of them. It's very frustrating.
Does anyone know if there is a website that shows things like the group numbers. There were 25 groups. Yet they did not show most of them. Or they just featured one person in the group and did not show the rest!
-
Well, time for me to go home.

Most-played 45 rpm single for a while was The Archies and "Sugar, Sugar," then "One Bad Apple" sung by the Osmonds, then "Turn the Beat Around" by Vickie (sp?) Sue Robinson, and the last one I remember playing over and over was "Gloria" sung by Laura Branigan.
-
But mostly when it came to pop, I tended to buy the albums.
-
I would buy the cassingles (cassette singles) for a while, and my faves of those were "Higher Love," "King of Wishful Thinking" and "I Don't Have the Heart."
-
I think Penny Lane/ Strawberry Field Forever is the best 45 ever pressed.
As far as double sided hits are concerned the following were/are my favourites:
Elvis Presely - His Lastest Flame/Little Sister
Rick Nelson - Hello Mary lou/Travelin' Man
Buddy Holly - Peggy Sue/Every Day
Johnny Mathis - Chances Are/12th Of Never
Gene Pitney - Only Love Can Break A Heart/If I Didn't Have A Dime
-
DR Jennifer - I think part of the "stretching" of "American Idol" right now is due to the fact that Fox actually has some other programming right now. ;)
-
and Thank you all once again for the support.

So, today when I'm in my DH's car on the way to the mountain to hike, I happen to open the console between the seats. And guess what I find? A thank-you note addressed to someone in another country. Said note was given to DH to mail when he was going to work at the post office. But he said he didn't know how much postage should go on it, so he didn't mail it Oy!
-
I love Carla on "Top Chef" and for weeks I've been wondering who the hell it was that she reminded me. Rosina Rubylips, voiced by Anna Russell in the 1954 HANSEL AND GRETEL!

The church treasurer didn't know he needed to do anything for me for my income tax stuff.

If TNT's new show "Trust Me" doesn't pick-up the writing, it will be short-lived. The second installment was a grade or two below the opener.

The ratings fell precipitously from its premiere numbers, so it is indeed in trouble. I'm not sure it was such a good idea to try to premiere this show opposite fresh episodes of network favorites on the heavily rated Monday night lineups even with THE CLOSER as a lead-in.

DT TOMovOZ - I love my CD - thanks so much!!!
my pleasure
-
I have never seen YENTL.
Consider yourself lucky. Once was enough for me.
-
I began my evening finishing the bonus features on MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA. One was a round table discussion and the other a documentary about the 92nd Infantry Division. Both OK but nothing special.
-
Next, I watched the second episode of MOONLIGHT from the DVD set. I remembered parts of the episode (and I remember how disappointed I initially was about how early they let Beth find out about Nick.) I didn't remember how the episode ended, so that was exciting.
-
Turning on the cable box/DVR, I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing and nothing.
-
Next, I watched AMERICAN IDOL and once again was disappointed by the lack of singing and the overuse of "drama" in the broadcast. As we saw bunches of folks bursting out of the doors and hugging one another, I realized how few of them I have actually heard utter a sound. A couple of the groups did work up some quite excellent routines.
-
Next, I watched tonight's LOST (which I finally caught up to the network broadcast time five five minutes to go). Sensational episode, some welcome surprises, and a few puzzles.
-
And I concluded my evening watching tonight's LIFE episode. How great to have the wonderfully wacky Charlie Crews back munching on his fresh fruit and seeing the world from his own unique vantage point.
But I have to think that these long hiatuses are not good for shows that are struggling to find an audience. I think it would have been better to rerun the entire first season during the holidays and January instead of just letting it slip off the air and then try to bring it back like this. You certainly don't see CBS EVER taking its shows off (unless they go on permanent leave); the network just reruns the hell out of them.
-
My eyes are feeling a little heavy tonight, so I wrapping up my evening surf early and heading down to bed.
Good night!
-
What a peculiar day. Nothing really out of the ordinary, but I just felt disconnected all day. I'll read the seven pages I wrote and see if they're to my liking - had a little plot turn at the end of the chapter that I have to make sure I'm comfortable with.
-
I went out and had a salad and some cashew chicken at a local Thai place.
-
And I've finished my viewing for the evening. And now I shall try to feel connected.
-
I may watch THREE LITTLE WORDS.....or maybe I will watch a DVD.

I wonder if DR Musicguy knows this gal? She is 106 this year and still playing!

It's too bad that my schedule only allows me to visit HHW late at night. It's me and the crickets!

Howdy Swishers!

JRand, WEEKEND IN HAVANA done arrived today! Thanks so much!
You know I have never seen this movie and I will look forward to it....imagine both John Payne and Cesar Romero on the same movie set. I would have been in heaven on the movie set. Gosh, with both of them there I wouldn't know which way to turn!
-
Well, my bags - well, my bag - is packed for my trip to Memphis tomorrow. And I actually managed to get five days worth of clothing in my carry-on - meaning I did not overpack this trip. :) And I won't have to stand in line to check my bag tomorrow either! :D
And since I don't have to be up that early in the morning, I believe I'm going to watch tonight's "Damages" via the DVR before I turn in.
-
I finished the chapter, and did a half-page of the new chapter.
-
Safe and happy trip DR Uncle JoJo

DERBRUCER:
House Votes to Postpone Transition to Digital TV
der Brucer
I'm going to do an about face here and say that I don't think they should delay the transition. As the FCC stands now, I don't believe it's capable of what needs to be done between now and June. This will probably be a waste of time
Actually, there is nothing the FCC can do; Congress needs to appropriate more money for converter box coupons and social service organizations need to go about helping the eldery and other techo-confused folks. The best play is to let the transition go on and then muster the troops to solve "real problems" not the "maybe/might be ones.

Welcome seven GUESTS.

Several GUESTS look at the same old thread over and over and over again. I'm listening to a Stanley Black album called Satan Superstar - music from horror movies, and maybe ones featuring devils.

Not only do we have photo radar vans that move from place to place, we also have permanent cameras all along the freeways.
We have all that stuff, too. But we're not on the list!
The "list" I posted was not exhaustive - just a representation.

Oooh.. Another good "Damages"!!

Hi MBarnum!
Last night was a benefit acapella concert for a friend of mine and his mother, who were killed in their home over winter break. Jim and Mrs. Smith were unbelievable people, the kind of people you see in movies, and read about in the papers. Their doors and hearts were always open, everyone called Mrs. Smith "Momma". Jim was a music major with me at JMU, and he participated in one of the acapella groups on campus, Exit 245 (sidenote: check them out! for a college acapella group they're really quite good).
Their daughter/sister Sarah is a music major as well, and graciously hosted last nights event. Sarah has been so strong through this whole ordeal, and amazes me every day with her ability to function at a normal level, let alone come back to school and participate in the same activities she normally would. Jim's favorite song was "Don't Stop Believin", and Exit 245 arranged a version with Sarah singing the solo, intermixed with lyrics from "Let it Be". It was an incredible special and theraputic night for a wounded community. I have had 6 college-aged friends whose mothers have passed on in the past 3 years alone. I wonder if anyone else had to deal with something so unbelievable at this age? What advice can I give? Our group of friends is large and close-knit, and we're all here for each other, but there's only so much we can do.
Sorry to ramble, but it's just on my mind. Anyone with a facebook can look up Jean C. Smith and see the amazing wall posts and messages that people have left for her- her profile is open. This woman was life changing, and the loss of her and her son has changed our lives forever.

And...
Goodnight.

MP3 . Jeff's suggestion worked.
Thank you DRs for the suggestions etc. I now have a "hard" copy.
Aah, Inter-hemisphere networking at its finest.

You certainly don't see CBS EVER taking its shows off (unless they go on permanent leave); the network just reruns the hell out of them.
And as you previously noted (or I read elsewhere), re-runs of both NCIS and The Mentalist did quite well in the ratings.
