Well, you've read the notes, the notes were BIG, and now it is time for you to post until the amazing colossal cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: MATHEMATICASTER!
-
I remember seeing BIG's "Food of the Gods" at a drive-in right after we moved here to Olympia from Colorado in 1976. We also saw "Empire of the Ants" at that same drive-in...which was torn down a few years later.
-
MATHEMATICASTER
That's easy for you to say!! :)
-
Looking forward to hearing all about DR elmore3003's big opening!
-
Grooving to "Wing Sings The Carpenters" on iTunes. :D

I'll admit to being curious about this title:

Hoping you find this linked YouTube video entertaining. Please pass the link on to any Food Network fans if you do.
It's to the tune of "So Much Better" from Legally Blonde, and it's called "So Much Butter" -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZnWq9Vi1ww
The "butter" aspect is about the "friction" between Paula Deen and Barbara Walters, when Paula Deen was on THE VIEW several weeks back, and Barbara Walters made some surprising comments about Paula Deen contributing to childhood obesity.
Jose, I know we were saying the other night over dessert that the event itself on THE VIEW really wasn't much of anything - but searching on google seems to show that it really did get blown up in the innernet press, so it seems very ripe for making fun of it WITHOUT (I hope) anyone really taking offense.
Hope my take on it makes you laugh if you have time to watch.

Break a leg, elmore!!!

Hmmmmmmmm....for some reason Firefox will not open for me today.

BK,
Your mention of VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS brought back some memories.
I don't think I ever saw the picture. At least, not all of it.
But, one of the stars [Charla Doherty] was my lady friend for a couple of years.
She died too young.

The term "Dopp kit" derives from early 20th century leather craftsman Charles Doppelt, a German immigrant to the United States, who invented his toiletry case in 1919.
I just had to share. :)
-
Good morning, all! I am getting very jittery about the Big Opening Night tonight and the Partay afterward. Thank you all for the good wishes and thoughts. This morning I have to wrap several opening night gifts and buy several cards. I just moved my physical therapy from this afternoon to tomorrow: after the last session my shoulder ached the rest of the day and I do not want to be uncomfortable tonight.
BK, I loved the tale of dinner with Mr BIG. I don't remember seeing that many of his films as a kid. I saw EARTH VS THE SPIDER several times at the drive in, as well as several I didn't much care for - THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN, WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST, and THE CYCLOPS. The one I wanted to see but didn't for 40 years was THE MAGIC SWORD. I don't think I've seen any other films of his.
-

You know, I always wondered about that. Really!
-
DR Elmore, I cannot believe that you have not see ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE. I must remedy that.
-
Good morning!
It's going to be a beautiful day here. Nippy and wonderful for my walk this morning, and the afternoon temps peeking into the 70s. I'll be inside for most of it (except for lunch), but it's still beautiful.
-
Well, I guess my favorite producer/director of B movies would be Roy William Neill who helmed most of the Universal/Sherlock Holmes pictures. They're BY FAR my favorite B-movies of all-time.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if those Disney/Pixar Blu-rays arrived today, but I'll be finishing the Hitchcock box I'm working on today, so I won't be able to get to UP! until tomorrow unless I can breeze my way through the two remaining Hitchcock pictures in record time. Then I'd at least watch the movie portion of the UP! set tonight. The bonuses will likely take hours to get through like with most Pixar releases.
-
TOD:
Bert I Gordon is at the very top of my list, of courrse. I have loved his movies since I was a little kid. EARTH VS. THE SPIDER, WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST and ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE being my top 3 favorites of his films.
Roger Corman: His films from the 1950s are among my all time favorites. THE UNDEAD, MONSTER FROM THE OCEAN FLOOR, VIKING WOMEN AND THE SEA SERPENT, TEENAGE DOLL...
Homi Wadia: From the 1930s through the 1970s this guy made some of the most wonderful Bollywood films ever...all of the Fearless Nadia pictues, dozens of colorful mythologicals and Arabian Nights films, all of the Zimbo films, and many Indian sword and sandal pictures. His films are gaining quite a fan base in the US and UK as they are slowly being released onto DVD and VCD.
Here is a cool sample of a Homi Wadia fantasy adventure which I think BK would truly enjoy:

A cold front is making Arizona unusually cold (for October). It was 39 overnight, which is December weather.
It will warm up to the high 80s this weekend, they say.

I have seen it and I still cannot fathom your fascination with that film. There are so many levels of dreadful to it.

Not really an Ask BK, more of a suggestion to BK: I think I mentioned this a few days when I was in the midst of reviewing THE PRISONER, but pull out that 5th bonus disc, the SD-DVD, and listen to the completely different themes written by the different composers (one of them Robert Farnon, which I still find rather unbelievable). Farnon's theme is quasi-Elmer Bernstein in Magnificent Seven mode (Ionian, LOL).
-
I have a new(ish) computer at work and it seems to be working much better than the old one except for a quirk with the time. On Sunday it followed the rest of the world (not the U.S.) and reverted to Standard Time. Nothing I do will keep it at the correct time so I went into Time Zones and changed from Eastern to Atlantic. That seemed to work but again today the time changed on its own. Well I glanced down at the task bar and saw that it was 11:30 and I thought "hmm, I'll go to lunch early" instead of glancing at my watch to see the correct time. I came into the apartment and Anthony said "you're home early. Lunch isn't ready" Well, I was there an hour early. I have to talk to tech people. I know I have Service Pack 3 for Windows XP and no one else's computer here at the office has changed over. I don't know what's going on unless someone is trying to gaslight me!
-
My question for the Thursday ASK BK day.....can you tell us which BIG soundtrack you will be releasing? Or is a secret until then?
-
I haven't used IE for quite sometime, and now I remember why. I re-installed FIREFOX and now it seems to be working.
Strange internet doings today.
-
Today I really should try to get reviews done of NATURAL BORN KILLERS, RICHARD BANGS IN MOROCCO, and, yes, the one you've all been waiting for, HD MOODS: FIRE. Luckily I have already taken my screenshots from the MOROCCO title, so that cuts down on what I have to accomplish.
-
My question for the Thursday ASK BK day.....can you tell us which BIG soundtrack you will be releasing? Or is a secret until then?
Yes, what is the "Holy Grail"?

I had to buy a new desk chair today. My old chair which I purchased at the Goodwill store about 3 years ago, wanted to decide on its own when it would go up and down. But since I only paid $9.99 for it, I decided to get a new one.
Wal Mart had some nice ones....I spent $69 + tax! Whew. I hadn't seen one at Goodwill for the last month or so.
I put it together in 35 minutes......and put my old one out at the street. It only took 10 minutes for someone to decide they wanted it.....it was gone.
-
Today should be a fun day: I get to call ministers from all over our district and nag them to turn in the paperwork.
Because the other times I called them hasn't worked.
-
Has the time change thing happened yet?
-
Thursday morning greetings! Today I'm feeling the effects of our 6 days in NYC, so I'm going to take it easy. Richard and I finally acknowledged that this recent trip was especially exhausting because we chose not to climb the stairs between daytime and evening activities. We really missed that late afternoon respite.

BROKEN LEGS GALORE TO ELMORE & THE FINIAN CREW.

bk's description of THE PRISONER (probably my all-time favorite TV show) on Blu-Ray makes me want to get the set and a player. I wonder if he has stock in Blu Ray technology and knows how to hit us all in our week spots?
-
No, Laura, the time change in the U.S. happens at 2am on Saturday/Sunday. The rest of the world including Great Britain did it this past Sunday so I guess my computer just decided it wanted to do it early.
-
Thank you, Ben.
-
Oy--one of my Pops choir members wants to do this song as a solo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUajb1uogF8
I'm having a hard time transcribing it on these lo-fi speakers. Some of those ambiguous chromatic chords over the Eb and Ab pedals are driving me slightly insane. :)
-

-
I should think Johnny Mercer's original handwritten lyric to either SKYLARK or MIDNIGHT SUN might suffice. ;)
-
I forgot to post to yesterday's TOD, but my first "home away from home" was my starter house that I bought 30 years ago in Marietta. It was in such a bad neighborhood (mostly WWII era duplexes built for Bell Bomber workers) that my mom cried when she saw it. The neighborhood ultimately deteriorated so much due to slumlords (some of Marietta's most respected citizens!) that the city bought most of the properties from the slumlords at outrageous prices (700k an acre) gave a huge TAD incentive to a great developer who started building really nice and expensive houses and some town homes. My street was the only one that wasn't bought up, because it wasn't "that bad". (Dang!) So I lived there until we moved in to Atlanta a few years ago. This nice development didn't get finished and the acres of woods torn down behind my house are a "PVC farm". I am now an "absentee landlord" but have responsible tenants, and am very happy in Atlanta. (Just wish this house was bigger!)

Hmmmm...well, I do happen to know that there will be a new Johnny Mercer song released next month. It was a lyric he wrote that was never set to music until recently by a composer whose songs we all know and love!
There were many rare TV appearances floating around (most of the great stuff didn't get used because it was more important to pay homage to any great writer except Johnny...grrr...) so it there's anything in particular you're looking for I could try and snag it before we donate everything to the Mercer archives.

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!
I'm up, I'm up... And on "day three", I believe I have a cold. Or something or other. Whatever it is has settled into my throat, and when I tried to speak earlier, I was quite literally caught off guard by the two-octave drop in my voice. Well, maybe more like a just and octave and a half. Not so profundo of a basso, but I most definitely do not sound like a tenore today.
-
Thank you, Ben.
It's a fall back situation by the way. Spring Ahead Fall Back. So at 2am it becomes 1am.

She also played Jimmy Stewart's youngest daughter in TAKE HER, SHE'S MINE.

DR Ben - It sounds like your computer is checking in with the time server in Greenwich (UK), and not the one based out of the U.S. Naval Observatory in DC.
When in doubt, you could always check in at time.gov (http://time.gov/).

Since the latter is the OFFICIAL holiday of the former, I'd say "No".

I would like to hear your voice two octaves one and a half octaves lower. ;)

-
Feel better vibes to DR Jose.
I would like to hear your voice two octaves one and a half octaves lower. ;)
Thank You, DR Julie.
Although, at this point, I have a feeling that if I tried to talk for more than a minute or two, I'd probably have no voice left. Thankfully(?), I'm feeling fine otherwise. No fever. No aches. Just a little bit of fatigue.
*And, thankfully, due to a scheduling change and/or mix-up, the voice lessons I was supposed to play for today were either cancelled and/or re-scheduled. And/or something like that. ::)
-
Yesterday, I was able to spend a few hours really going through the complete exhibit of Celebrating 50 Years of Lincoln Center, over at the Library for the Performing Arts. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it yet. It's there until mid-January.
There are many interesting film clips to watch. Some of performance highlights over the years, from all of the different arts that have found a home at Lincoln Center. Interviews with famous artists, such as Luciano Pavaroti, Beverly Sills, George Balanchine, Leonard Bernstein, etc., clips from groundbreaking ceremonies back in 1959 when construction was just getting underway, and many other interesting things to see. Also, some costume exhibits, set models, and programs in display cases. A very worthy way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy day.
-
Oh, and I'm up.
-
Thank you, Ben.
It's a fall back situation by the way. Spring Ahead Fall Back. So at 2am it becomes 1am.
We don't do that here. I just need to know where California is, time-wise.
We should still be on the same time now. I wonder why none of the ministers are in their offices?
-
Nancy..... I shall look for her next time.
She also played Jimmy Stewart's youngest daughter in TAKE HER, SHE'S MINE.
Ah....I saw that movie several times at the theater......she got the nice final bikini shot if I remember correctly.
-
Thank you, Ben.
It's a fall back situation by the way. Spring Ahead Fall Back. So at 2am it becomes 1am.
I like getting that extra hour during my weekend!
I dislike have an hour snatched away from my weekend when it is the other way around.
-
DR Julie - we enjoyed the Lincoln Center exhibit, too. The listening areas were all occupied, so I just stood back and watched a bit. I spent more time looking at the print materials than Richard did (he went elsewhere in the library to read). The costumes were something to see, especially the little (really, REALLY little) yellow dress from Contact.
That NYPL location will always be special to me, because it's where I had the epiphany right before my senior year in high school that led me to my career as a librarian.
-
No, Laura, the time change in the U.S. happens at 2am on Saturday/Sunday. The rest of the world including Great Britain did it this past Sunday so I guess my computer just decided it wanted to do it early.
My cell phone did this. Threw me for a HUGE loop the other morning. Thought I was losing it.

It's beautiful outside today.
Inside, it's on the chilly side.

Oh, gosh...I hope that last post didn't get DR DAW all confused over "sides".

Yes, indeedy! I only subscribe to that rag for Mikey's interviews. :)

DR Sam you moved out of your house after graduating as fast as I did. I couldn't find friends to move with me and, after checking out a few options, decided I would rather live alone than with strangers. I had the advantage of Keith apartment hunting with me. In fact they would not have rented the apartment to such a young single female had they not liked Keith so much.
-
DR JOSE - I have had that kind of week, too. Today IS better, but I am not at 100%....maybe it's just the old ennui that Cole Porter was talking about.
-
DR Jose, I hope you feel better soon.
DR Jane - Thank You. Actually, over the past hour, it seems that my voice is returning to it's normal range. I think. I hope. And since the sun is out, I think I'm going to go for a walk.
-
DR JOSE - I have had that kind of week, too. Today IS better, but I am not at 100%....maybe it's just the old ennui that Cole Porter was talking about.

So far, it's been a fantastic day. Don Pippin, who conducted LA CAGE AUX FOLLES and MAME, among many shows, called to wish me good luck, Liz Callaway just sent me a wonderful email, and I'm getting really jittery. As Bert Lahr would say, Gong-gong-gong-gonnnngggg!
-
That could be it, DR JOSE.
Wow DR ELMORE - it's like you're spending the day with Mr William Castle's TINGLER
-
I enjoyed MODERN FAMILY very much last night. I wish it wasn't on opposite GLEE - since I don't have one of them fancy REcording devices -
I didn't like THE MIDDLE or whatever it's called with Patricia Heaton. Ugh.
BUT I just realized that I can watch FLASH FORWARD tonight and not have to endure COMMUNITY and PARKS & RECREATION while waiting for THE OFFICE to come on!
-
I have an opinion on the outcome of SYTYCD, but I won't post it here.
-
DR elmore - Of course, the big question for tonight is: "What will you be wearing?"
;)
-I wonder if they're going to roll out a "Green Carpet" instead of a "Red" one? Hmmm....
-
I have an opinion on the outcome of SYTYCD, but I won't post it here.
Post away!

Many broken legs to elmore and company for a beautiful rainbow. May you have a Rainbow Connection.

Once again, I've been unable to get out of the house to jog because of the endless telephonic calls and e-mails. Interestingly, last February when I was sent the script for the long musical I wrote a big note in pen on its final page about the ending image for the show, which I thought would be a coup de theater. Back then I got the usual "It will never happen!" This morning it happened. :) I brought it up again because of an added line I asked for, and this time, once the author understood exactly what I was talking about, he got "chills" and "thrills" and it went into the script immediately - and, of course, it's HIS idea - I think he really thinks that.

DR FJL - Is there a way to label/post "So Much Butter" as a "Video Response" to the original clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGQfIzfUG_Q)?
-
DR FJL - Btw, consider "So Much Butter" Tweeted and Re-Tweeted. -As well as passed on to some food bloggers and the "Ladies of The View" who have Twitter accounts.
-
I have just emailed Countdown requesting that they "ambush interview" Bill O'Reilly, as O'Reilly is so fond of doing to others. I had several suggested questions, including "What *is* the difference between falafel and loofah?," and "Can we see your Peabody?" (not a euphemism). ;)

XM is getting to be a bit of an expensive luxury--on Chill the other day I heard a really cool remix of a tune and ended up springing for the complete Hotel de Costes collection. Then yesterday on Spa I heard a cool group called Mediaeval Baebes, and I just ordered all of their CDs.

That could be it, DR JOSE.
Wow DR ELMORE - it's like you're spending the day with Mr William Castle's TINGLER
I loved that film! Let's toast Judith Evelyn.

The term "Dopp kit" derives from early 20th century leather craftsman Charles Doppelt, a German immigrant to the United States, who invented his toiletry case in 1919.
I just had to share. :)
My dad always calls his "toiletry case" a Dopp Kit. I always wondered why, now I know....
I asked him once why he called it that and he said "Because that's what it is" Hard to argue with that one
That was my mother's answer to all my questions from "why is it called butter?" to "what's sex?"
-
Thank you all for the vibes and xylophones! I've wrapped my gifts, signed my cards, and waiting for another hour before I start getting ready.
-
It is so exciting!

Now, perhaps, DR DAW can weigh in on why the Navy calls a "ditty bag" a "ditty bag".

Yes, let there be GOLD under the RAINBOW tonight, Larry.

Yes, let there be GOLD under the RAINBOW tonight, Larry.
Thank you, DR Ron Pulliam!
The folk on HHW are the best in the world and I'm honored to know all of you. I just got a beautiful arrangement of flowers from Seattle, and i'm so glad I was here to accept them, DR TCB! I'll have that address for Cheyenne in the mail ASAP!
I've had a lovely phone conversation with Mr Ron Raines who's rehearsing A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC with Leslie Uggams in Detroit for Michigan Opera Theatre and I just spoke to my surrogate son Joshie, who's playing in the orchestra of his first Broadway show. I had to warn him about opening his opening night gift in public because it's a bit risque. The MD and director are getting tasteful gifts but Josh's is a consolation gift for the production's turning down his request to have his synth, which won't fit in the orchestra pit, placed in the chorus boys' dressing room.

I am very excited for you, Elmore! :)
Broken legs for all!

I am having computer issues. My computer was slow and when i rebooted, well now it will not start (load Windows). I tried everything in my extremely limited know-how.
Maybe I will see if my brother-in-law can look at it this weekend. it's probably something very simple. And not knowing what to do is making me feel very inept!

XM is getting to be a bit of an expensive luxury--on Chill the other day I heard a really cool remix of a tune and ended up springing for the complete Hotel de Costes collection. Then yesterday on Spa I heard a cool group called Mediaeval Baebes, and I just ordered all of their CDs.
I agree. Just listening to The Jonathan Schwartz program on XM Radio has cost me a small fortune

I just got a good luck phone call from goddaughter Charlotte, who's in rehearsal for the U of M production of MACBETH, which is set in a World War I hospital. The witches are nuns, and Charlotte's playing the First Witch. Were hoping that FR runs through New Year's, if not longer, so she can see it when she comes home in December. She's staying in Ann Arbor for Thanksgiving because of the MACBETH rehearsals.
I'm hoping that FR is a huge hit and runs for a long time, folks, so keep them vibes coming! Thanks.

~~~LONG & HEALTHY RUN VIBES~~~
FOR THE NEW PRODUCTION OF FINIAN'S RAINBOW!!!!!
I am glad that the reviews are already written...what a strain on the actors the "old" system used to be, where everything rode on the ONE opening night performance!

Thought I was losing it.
I think that about you every day, DR Ron Pulliam! Glad to know that I am not alone.

Zach had a fun play date today with Trooper, a big yellow lab visiting from Alabama. In the meantime, I was able to have lunch with my best friend from high school. :)
-
Thanks for the report on the Lincoln Center exhibit, DR Julie. I know that DR elmore3003 had also mentioned this previously. I shall have to try to catch it before it closes.
-
DR JMK - can't you institute a "no music, no play-ee" policy??

I haven't used IE for quite sometime, and now I remember why. I re-installed FIREFOX and now it seems to be working.
Strange internet doings today.
I'm at work right now and NONE of the printers in the entire building seem to be working! :o The computer people are working on the situation, but fortunately, I don't have to actually print anything right now. But later today...who knows? :-\

Back from a nice lunch with Lauren Rubin. Shockingly, CPK was almost empty even when we left at one. I guess the trendy Studio City Bob's Big Boy moms have moved their kids to another restaurant - Hugo's for sure, but I'm sure they're all at some other Ventura Blvd eatery now. And the waiter told me some shocking news - the dish I've always had there, the grilled sausage and peppers penne is history as of November 5 as is their marinara sauce.

Well, the mail did bring a bunch of review items. Both UP and MOSTERS, INC. on Blu-ray arrived, and so did that big NATIONAL PARKS set. The latter came out on October 6th, but tonight I'm going to start on UP. Yep, it doesn't come out until November 10th, but I think there would be more interest in it than in a disc set that's almost a month late.
Of course, Fox's ICE AGE 3, which came out this past Tuesday is still MIA.

Before I left for lunch, I had time to watch all of I CONFESS. Love the premise, but the movie just stubbornly refuses to be dramatic. It's talky and earnest but the really good skeleton for the story just isn't exploited for the maximum drama.

And don't forget UFO HUNTERS tonight at 11 p.m. EST on the History Channel. This is the episode my sister filmed back in April....if she survived the editing process. Her name is Myrna.
I've made a note to watch (or at least record) this. :D JRand, do you know the name of the episode? There's a marathon on tonight and the hi-def channel starts at a different time than the regular-def channel...at least, here in the PNW:

When I got back in, I watched THE WRONG MAN. This movie has always depressed me, and it's scary that a completely innocent man could be railroaded into jail and almost a conviction due to a couple of coincidental pieces of flimsy evidence and some misidentification by frightened clerks and secretaries.
This is certainly the most inconsistent of all the video transfers. Goes from beautiful to awful almost from shot to shot.
-
I watched the making of featurette and the trailer to finish up the Hitchcock box set. Now I just have to write up today's viewing.
-
So far, it's been a fantastic day. Don Pippin, who conducted LA CAGE AUX FOLLES and MAME, among many shows, called to wish me good luck, Liz Callaway just sent me a wonderful email, and I'm getting really jittery. As Bert Lahr would say, Gong-gong-gong-gonnnngggg!
~~~Additional Leg Breakage Vibes for DR Elmore and the Cast and Crew of Finian's Rainbow!!~~~

I had time to scan through today's ATWT and OLTL. Nothing of interest for me in either show. OLTL should be more interesting tomorrow.
-
DR JMK - can't you institute a "no music, no play-ee" policy??
???
-
I had some time to watch the first 10 minutes or so of SHOW BOAT in HD (the 1936 version). I doubt this is a high definition encode but rather is the SD version upconverted. Just didn't have quite the sharpness real HD usually has. Still, nice to have, but I can't keep it on there for very long. Lots of stuff to record tonight, and I'll have to watch GREY'S ANATOMY live due to the glut of new programming tonight.
-
Page Six Dance!!!

A propos of yesterday's notes' title, did anyone catch that hilarious new Brad Garrett commercial last night, with him singing, yep, "Windy"?

DR JMK - It's easy: If they want to sing a solo, all they have to do is provide you with the printed sheet music. :)

DR George - The UFO Hunters episode in question is called "Dark Presence."

Hoping you find this linked YouTube video entertaining. Please pass the link on to any Food Network fans if you do.
It's to the tune of "So Much Better" from Legally Blonde, and it's called "So Much Butter" -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZnWq9Vi1ww
The "butter" aspect is about the "friction" between Paula Deen and Barbara Walters, when Paula Deen was on THE VIEW several weeks back, and Barbara Walters made some surprising comments about Paula Deen contributing to childhood obesity.
Jose, I know we were saying the other night over dessert that the event itself on THE VIEW really wasn't much of anything - but searching on google seems to show that it really did get blown up in the innernet press, so it seems very ripe for making fun of it WITHOUT (I hope) anyone really taking offense.
Hope my take on it makes you laugh if you have time to watch.
Very funny!
-
DR Elmore - have fun, fun, fun (as Eloise would say) tonight!

Not really an Ask BK, more of a suggestion to BK: I think I mentioned this a few days when I was in the midst of reviewing THE PRISONER, but pull out that 5th bonus disc, the SD-DVD, and listen to the completely different themes written by the different composers (one of them Robert Farnon, which I still find rather unbelievable). Farnon's theme is quasi-Elmer Bernstein in Magnificent Seven mode (Ionian, LOL).
Ooooh, Mr Farnon's one of my favourite music composers who deserves better recognition, I think.
He did conduct for a certain number of famous pipers, one being the one and only Eileen Farrell, to whom he even dedicated a melody.
AND Angela Morley, another pet of mine, was one of his "pupils".

Oh--I wasn't sure exactly to what you were referring. I finally figured the tune out. I'm not sure this particular "artiste" even has published sheet music. :) Plus, the young woman who wants to do it is a professional chef and has promised me some sort of chocolate extravaganza as my personal prize. ;)

I have just emailed Countdown requesting that they "ambush interview" Bill O'Reilly, as O'Reilly is so fond of doing to others. I had several suggested questions, including "What *is* the difference between falafel and loofah?," and "Can we see your Peabody?" (not a euphemism). ;)
Yuck! The thought of Bill O'Reilly even having a Peabody grosses me out!

I recieved my cruise documents this week. This is my first cruise in seven years, so it was kind of a shock to have all the documents delivered by e-mail. I used to love to get the whole packet of plane tickets and ship tickets and shore excursions; and go through them one by one. The e-mail version is not nearly as exciting, but I guess it saved the life of a tree.
Since I booked my own hotel reservation in Rome, at one third the price the cruise line would have charged me for the same hotel; the cruise line will not allow me to buy a space on their transfer bus from the hotel to the ship. So, today my travel agent booked me a separate transfer, at a cost of $175.00 U.S.!!!

DR TCB - Couldn't you have just hailed a taxi when you got to port?
Well, the Port of Civitavecchia is actually 45 miles from Rome. Since I have never been to Rome before, and since my Italian is minimal, it was easier to just suck it up, than to risk missing the ship.

Then why not take a cab? The taxi driver can unload your luggage & there should be someone from the cruise to tag it and take it from you.
I know what you mean about the email documents. This was our first time with them and it was strange. I find it easier to check out the excursions on line than in the cruise book, which we still received along with our luggage tags and a few other items.

I should have remembered this. We originally were going to fly to Rome and then take the train to the Amalfi Coast, before we decided to take the cruise to the Baltic. I still want to see the Amalfi Coast & look forward to your photos. I doubt you will be posting from the ship, simply too pricey.

From everything I read online last night, a taxi would not be any cheaper than the shuttle bus that I have booked. It is based on the distance the port is from the center of Rome. It is lucky I didn't decide on a limo, that would have cost me 500, and that is in Euros.

DR TCB is your hotel savings still better than the cost of taking their bus? I would think so.

Oh yes. Oceania wanted $900.00+ for two nights at the Grand Beverly Hills Hotel. I paid less than a third of that, so even with the transfer costs, I still came out way ahead.
-
It just came as kind of a shock when they told me the cost. I was thinking maybe $60 or $80, so I was a little stunned. I will get over it, once I pay the credit card bill.

In Florence we had the best Ribollita (tuscan bean) soup. If you can be sure to try this. It takes several days to make.
In Pisa we had the best 4 pizza ever, a 4 cheese pizza. I also had an incredible caramel, or caramel swirl, gelato. It was exceptional gelato even by Italian standards. Overall my favorite flavor was stracciatella. Except for the 2 days I was sick I had at least one cone a day. Near the end of the trip when I knew I might never have anything as good again, and I haven't, I had 2 cones a day.

:D
Thanks DR JRand
-
DR TCB's trip is getting close! How exciting......don't forget that camera!
-
YW DR JANE.....I thought it might be of some interest.
-
DR TCB - lots o' links when you Google:
notebook vs laptop (http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=notebook+vs+laptop&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8)
I should have known that a librarian would know.
I actually don't KNOW much, just how to look it up!
-
YW DR JANE.....I thought it might be of some interest.
Just a little bit ;)
-
This guy likes everything but the set....and I keep forgetting that Mr Kevin Spirtas is one of the producers!

Bottom Line: Things are great in Glocca Morra.
-
Did you put holds on any of the excursions?
Yes, for three of them
A half day Pompeii tour
An all-day tour of Florence
A full day in Pisa
I still may book the Monte Carlo tour.
In Florence we had the best Ribollita (tuscan bean) soup. If you can be sure to try this. It takes several days to make.
In Pisa we had the best 4 pizza ever, a 4 cheese pizza. I also had an incredible caramel, or caramel swirl, gelato. It was exceptional gelato even by Italian standards. Overall my favorite flavor was stracciatella. Except for the 2 days I was sick I had at least one cone a day. Near the end of the trip when I knew I might never have anything as good again, and I haven't, I had 2 cones a day.
;D

Things are looking rosy at Borders, too. . .Today I was told that for the next two weeks I will be in training to be an actual BOOKSELLER!

Oh, beleive me, I won't!
I just hope I can find a good Mexican restaurant there.

Today is would have been a very dreary day had the hiking trails not been aglow with yellow maple leaves and autumn colors. Had I known the path would look like the yellow brick road I would have taken my camera with me. On second thought, maybe it is best I didn't as I'm about to inundate you with photos from Sherlock & my almost daily walk. I will attempt to spread the photos out over a number of days.
-

Congratulations, td. It couldn't happen to a more deserving man.

Pictures are always welcome, Jane.
-
G'night!

TCB, please remember I've always wanted a Pope for a Channukah present. ;)
-
DR JRand - thanks for the links to the early raves for Finian's Rainbow - keep 'em coming!
-
Thank you DR TCB.
DR td, I thought you were already promoted to official bookseller.
-
Congratulations on your new opportunity at work, DR td!
-
Thank you DR TCB.
DR td, I thought you were already promoted to official bookseller.
No, I am only cross-trained as a cashier and a barristo. Now I will be on the sales floor proper, guiding customers and recommending books.

Buona notte e sogni d'oro.

DR JRand - Thanks for tracking those early reviews down.
-
DR Jane - Well... The next time you're in Philadelphia, be sure to check out Capogiro Gelato (http://capogirogelato.com/), and/or the next time you're in NYC, I'll take you to GROM (http://www.grom.it/eng/index.php).
-Just for comparison's sake. ;)
-
YW DR JOSE & others.
DR td this is great news!
-
DR JANE what a lovely photo.
THE OFFICE was pretty funny tonight.....watching PROJECT RUNWAY and then UFO HUNTERS!
-
Congrats, DR td!
-
DR TCB's trip is getting close! How exciting......don't forget that camera!

This reminds me of my husband. We were in New Mexico, and he had us driving all over looking for Chinese food. Chinese! In Albuquerque.

I was going to buy myself a Kindle to take on the cruise, but instead I guess I will just pack a few used paperbacks.
I'm sure you'll find ways to relax other than reading books.
-
DR Jane - Well... The next time you're in Philadelphia, be sure to check out Capogiro Gelato (http://capogirogelato.com/), and/or the next time you're in NYC, I'll take you to GROM (http://www.grom.it/eng/index.php).
-Just for comparison's sake. ;)
Just for comparison. I have yet to have a gelato in the States that comes close to what we had in Italy/
-
My wife's laptop when south today, so we had to buy her a new one. Now, if she can only retrieve all her stuff off of the old one....
-
Computer vibes for DW of DR Druxy and for DR Jennifer!
-
Thanks DR JRand. Here is another one.
-
Love the pictures, Jane! They're beautiful!
-
I will be good and limit myself to only 3 a day. I'm trying to keep the photos in the order we walk.
-
Thank you DR George. I wish the photos came out as lovely as my eye sees them.

Thanks for the links, François. I'll check these out when I get home tonight...which will be soon. I'm leaving work now.
Hope to read Larry's report soon!
Until later!
-
I'd hoped to be able to stay up for more FR reviews, but will have to let the early raves do for tonight. I've been really tired all day and can stay awake no longer.
'night!
-
Beautiful photos, Jane. Please don't limit yourself to three. We want to see them.
-
Hope to read Larry's report soon!
Hopefully not too soon. The Opening Night Party just start a little while ago. ;)

Sorry, only 3 a day. You will find a few more on my Facebook page, along with these. I will add more to FB as I add them here.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!
A Pot of Sunny Gold in Those Green Hills (http://theater2.nytimes.com/2009/10/30/theater/reviews/30finian.html)
".... All the comforting pleasures of the genre — infectious song, exuberant dancing, jokes both lovably corny and unexpectedly fresh, and of course the satisfying pairing of a him and a her — are on abundant display in this thoroughly winning production, a welcome picker-upper in an uneven Broadway season...."
-
Very happy about those FINIAN'S RAINBOW reviews. Thrilled, in fact.
-
After I finished writing up the Hitchcock set, I headed back down and watched UP on Blu-ray.
Movie is marvelous, a genius combination of humor and heart.
The Blu-ray is another spectacular HD disc from Pixar. I'll swear, there is so much detail in the images that you really forget you're watching an animated film. And the sound is terrific, too. Never too much, and the sound complements the timing of the jokes to perfection.
-
I have to say I'm glad Charles Isherwood reviewed and not Mr. Brantley.
I'm very happy for our dear friend!
-
I'll be spending a great deal of time watching all the bonus material tomorrow. Lucky for me Friday is my day off from my walk, so I can get an early start on the bonuses on disc one. The movie and bonuses are spread over two Blu-ray discs. There is also a DVD version of the movie and a digital copy, too.
-
Next I watched tonight's FLASHFORWARD. Interesting episode with small advances in story for several of the characters and lots more with Dominic Monaghan and his part in the events of the blackout along with a surprise participant.
-
I wound up my evening of viewing with a very dramatic GREY'S ANATOMY. ENjoyable as always. Loved Justin CHambers and can't believe he doesn't get more credit for his work on the show.
-
HAPPY HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY TO DD DIXIE BELL!!!
~~~COMPUTER VIBES~~~ for DR Jennifer and DR Druxy's DW!!
Great link DR François - thank you!!!! :)
~~~CONTINUED MEDICAL VIBES~~~ for Michelle Nicastro!!!!
Congratulations on your new work opportunities, DR td!!!
DR Jane - loving the pictures!!!!!! :) Don't worry about "inundation"
-
So very, very happy for DR elmore3003 and the FINIAN'S gang!!!! :D :D :D
-
Computer vibes for those suffering....I know what you are going through. I feel your pain.
-
Seven minutes until Dark Presence.....
-
Those FINIAN'S RAINBOW clips are great...this would certainly be on my list of must see musicals if I should get to NY soon. What wonderful songs!
Congratulations to all involved and Larry in particular!

Is the Jim Norton who is playing Finian in this production the same Jim Norton who was in STRAW DOGS?
-
Is the Jim Norton who is playing Finian in this production the same Jim Norton who was in STRAW DOGS?
Yes. -And he's had quite a nice string of roles in NYC over the past few years.
-
Since NBC has elected to drop TRAUMA after its original 13-episode order and bring CHUCK back earlier than planned and adding 5 more episodes to its order, looks like there will be something to watch on NBC on Mondays after all.
-
Page Eleven Dance!!!
-
Now I think I'll be heading downstairs and getting ready for bed.
Good night!

Wow! Small world. I met him many years ago when he was in Los Angeles, staying with my friend/publicity client, Dan O'Herlihy.
I think we spent an hour or two chatting in Dan's living room.
-
Great link DR François - thank you!!!! :)
Thank you!
(And I do hope it's ... double entendre! ;))
-
Good evening...
I am hoping to get my computer this weekend....
I am still alive and on the mend. I had the flu and a sinus infection...
Vibes to one and all
I hope Finnigans Rainbow goes well and the cast has many broken legs
-
DR td this is great news!
I'm quite excited! Thank you JRand!

Thanks DR Laura! I'm looking forward to triple duties.
-
I am having computer issues. My computer was slow and when i rebooted, well now it will not start (load Windows). I tried everything in my extremely limited know-how.
Maybe I will see if my brother-in-law can look at it this weekend. it's probably something very simple. And not knowing what to do is making me feel very inept!
I think it's the most recent updates. They caused me some problems too, but my computer seems to be working fine now
-
DR DAW - Miss Dixie Bell and I thank you for all of the well wishes.
-
Well the UFO HUNTERS just left Indiana and Myrna was nowhere to be seen. I guess she got cut out. Jason & Rachel were on.....they are working on a new show for the same production team, that may feature us now and then....time will tell.
The producers just kept saying TOO MUCH PSYCHIC stuff....it's UFO's!!! Oh well.
-
Congrats TD...
I am hoping something will pan out for DH... He has been trying but there are not a lot of jobs out there...
-
DH will be happy to hear that CHUCK will be coming back sooner than planned. He enjoyed that show.
-
*"Finian's" has one "n". Just sayin'.
Sheesh! I thought there were 2 and i was even in the show once
-
Congrats TD...

Miss Dixie Bell celebrated her 5th birthday with family, friends, cake and ice cream and two new toys. . .a squeaky beer bottle and a squawking mallard. She is now fast asleep next to the computer. . .She thanks everyone, in her own way, for the brilliant birthday wishes shared here with her online family.
-
Congratulations, td, on the new job duties!
Thanks DR Laura! I'm looking forward to triple duties.
More work! Same pay!
-
Well, as much as I would like to stay up and here the first-hand report from DR elmore, I really do need to get some more rest and sleep.
Goodnight.

Congrats, TD--I'm sure you will be more knowledgeable than some of the idiots (technical term) at my local Border's. :)
-
I was trying to keep up for theater reports from both coasts, but, I'm fading fast. . .

Thank you DR JMK for the lovely sentiment. You know that I do recommend books which DRs here have also recommended. . .

I am really impressed with an effort a group of high schoolers started several years ago and now two of them are in college and they are continuing the project.
The kids in this area have really taken to the project and it is called "Fill the Dome". They raise monies and collect food for the local food pantries. It is truly remarkable to see the floor of the Fargodome full from their efforts.

Folk Singer Taylor Mitchell Killed by Coyotes
A teenage folk singer was attacked and killed by two coyotes in a national park in eastern Canada.
Taylor Mitchell, 19, was attacked while she was hiking alone in Cape Breton Highlands Park, Nova Scotia, when she was attacked by two of the animals on Tuesday. She died of her wounds on Wednesday.
Nearby walkers heard her screams and alerted park rangers, who arrived on the scene and shot one of the animals. The other has yet to be found.
A police spokesperson said the two coyotes were "extremely aggressive" when rangers arrived on the scene.
"Coyotes are normally afraid of humans. This is a very irregular occurrence," Bridgit Leger, a spokeswoman for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, told Reuters news agency.
Mitchell was airlifted to hospital in Halifax but died there. Paul Maynard of Emergency Health Services said she had been admitted with multiple bite wounds on her body.
"Words can't begin to express the sadness and tragedy of losing such a sweet, compassionate, vibrant, and phenomenally talented young woman," Lisa Weitz, Mitchell's manager, said. "She just turned 19 two months ago, and was so excited about the future."
Mitchell's debut album 'For Your Consideration' had been recorded earlier this year and the artist had been on a tour of eastern Canada when the attack occurred.
"She was so young and talented -- her big dreams were a perfect match with her big, kind heart," said Michael Johnston, the album's producer.
Biologists said attacks by coyotes -- also known as prairie wolves -- were extremely rare because the animals were usually very wary of humans. The area of the park where the attack happened has now been blocked off as officials try to find out what caused the attack.

Nice! I never watched "Trauma," so I'm not heartbroken about that, but I love "Chuck."
-
Grey's Anatomy was very different tonight. I think things are going to calm down from the mania of the merger. I'm curious to see how it will all shake out
-
DR Elmore -you're here! How was your evening? Fabulous I hope
-
Guess I'll have to wait until morning to see....I'm really sleepy and tomorrow is another day....

We're a hit! I have so much to tell, from the gypsy robe ceremony to the party that I will do it all tomorrow. The show was to begin at 6:45 but we began a little after 7 pm. Among the audience: Arlene Dahl, Trevor Nunn, Bran Dennehy, Judy Blazer, Rob Fisher and a lot of family and friends. Seeing the show was a lot like seeing the final performance of Lansbiry and Cariou in SWEENEY TODD: every moment, every entrance got applause; Terri White's "Necessity" and the gospel quartet on "The Begat" stopped the show dead. The 15-20 minute intermission must has lasted 30 minutes; the ailes were packed with folk tryng to hit the bar or the johns and being stck in enormous traffic jams. After the show I ran backstage to join everyone in a champagne toast, and then it was off to the party. The word late in the evening was that we're getting pretty solid raves and I am ecstatic over it. I picked up opening night Playbills for DRs George, TCB, and JRand59. I think a loy of the reviews we deserved and some of them are HHW vibes doing their best.
I'm tipsy and very tired so I'll continue the story tomorrow. Thanks for posting the reviews online, DR JRand59! I can't wait to read them all.

Had a great evening at Royce Hall with R. Crumb.
What a wonderful person, very funny.
Had some funny things to say about France too.

I did buy "The Book of Genesis". It took 4 years to draw. The original pages are on display at the Hammer Museum right now. After the book was published he found one mistake on one page, had the museum take it off the wall so he could fix it. Also bought "Heros of Blues, Jazz and Country, which includes a cd from his collection of 78RPM records from 1927-1931.
