It is too early to be awake. In Arizona, anyway.My goodness it certainly i,s Laura! I hope everything is OK
Shocking news, DR Cillaliz. My condolences to the family.
~~~STAY WELL VIBES~~~FOR GN JAYDEN!!!!!!!!
DR Cillaliz - I'm very sorry to hear about the H1N1 death so close to you. Because our son is about to start his EMT clinicals, he qualified for the vaccine which he received yesterday in the form of nasal mist.
DR Elmore - it was a county immunization event. Have Jayden's parents looked into that?
And the word of the day is: LENTIGINOUS!
Today I am feeling Decidedly Recalcitrant. With a chance of Tantrums.
I am sorry I missed your Mercer documentary Amy - will it be shown again?
Oh wow, I just found out my friend's cousin's daughter died from H1N1. She was a bout 30. Had no underlying health problems and 2 little kids. Very shocking and sad
Last night I watched an interesting little film on TCM called FOURTEEN HOURS, about a man who is threatening to jump from the 16th floor ledge of a hotel. Aside from being the big screen debut of Miss Grace Kelly and being stock-full of soon-to-be-stars in bit roles, the movie stands on its own and still holds up.
I got back from the McGlinnvntory with no voice -I'msure the cold is aggravated by all of the dust and crap in those boxes - abd I have cancelled physical therapy. As soon as the laundry is finished, and the floors are vacuumed, i am going to bed and staying there as long as possible.
Stay healthy vibes for DR elmore’s great-nephew Jayden!!!
Today's Gold Box "Deal of the Day" at Amazon.com is the complete TV series of "Ally McBeal."
This one was a long time coming because they had to get music rights to all the popular songs used during the show's run.
The show is completely intact and no music was left out or covered up.
The $78.99 price is a STEAL as this set's MFRP is $199.99. It's $23 less than I paid when the box was issued, but I don't feel remorse because the series remains fantastic.

Do you think you might want to come over on Sunday for your CDs? We are free and if you're feeling up to it we would love to visit with you. I don't think you've seen Anthony since he came back from Wisconsin in May.

Good! We can talk or e-mail on Saturday and make final plans.
My CD's arrived today!
In the meantime - and this is a SERIOUS question on which I need your help, you TV experts:
Let's say of young actors working in TV today you had to choose one to play Adriana Hofstetter - who would you choose. I realize that several of you haven't read the books, but you can certainly read the synopsis of each at the Kritzerland site (under "Fun") and see the type of fifteen-year-old girl we're talking about. I need someone who has some sort of name value but that someone doesn't necessarily have to be a big star - folks like Dakota Fanning won't do TV, so give me people who are on series or cable or whatever. I just don't watch shows. I look forward to your suggestions.

Strangely, I could imagine this film being musicalized for the stage.
Sorry, bk, I don't know from young actresses of the sort you are seeking.
I've gone Apple!
Well, I've gone Apple keyboard at least.

Well, I've gone Apple keyboard at least.
I'm certain that due to BK's and Jose's influence, you'll complete your journey to being full-fledged Apple in no time.
Who are you....Michael Barnum's doppleganger?
NICHOLAS AND ALEXANDRA is on TCM tonight. I have never seen this movie. Do the learned people here on HHW recommend that I watch it?
Who are you....Michael Barnum's doppleganger?
I think that they have a pill for that now... :)
If you have not ordered the new Brent Barrett Christmas CD - you must do so immediately. A nice way to welcome in the season.
I like all of the songs but my favorites are "A Star to Guide Me" and "Winter Wonderland."

I know it's not Wednesday, but - bk - are there still plans to eventually release the "Sean & Kevin Show" on DVD?

I'm noting the suggestions for Adriana. Did anyone see that Kevin Costner film called Swing Vote? There's a plucky kid in that one - too young at the time of filming that picture, but might be the right age now?

Yes
I can't remember her name
Can't see anything in the rules on the ISU site about the direction of spins....so I guess it's a free for all.
Speaking of change of addresses, Betsy and I are seriously on the hunt for a new house again. I simply can't stand being next to this new mini-development of McMansions. Having the road right next to our house (as short as it is, and despite the fact it "serves" only two houses) has completely changed the quiet tenor (and even bass) of this house. I'm taking the kids (who have no school today) to a couple of places today with our realtor. I must say prices in Portland have fallen so dramatically that it's really amazing. Of course the flip side we can't get very much for this house when we go to sell it.
RE Adriana H.:
Anna-Sophia Robb who was in BRIDGE TO TERIBITHIA and RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN is an excellent young actress who plays plucky really well.

The girl in "Swing Vote" is Madeline Carroll who is 13.
Another young woman, name of Molly C. Quinn, is LUMINOUS on screen. She's currently 16, can play younger, I'm sure, and is currently portraying Alexis, daughter of Nathan Fillion's Richard Castle on the TV show "Castle".

Did you catch my post awhile back regarding just this? I mentioned I could see the young actress,Lea Michele, on GLEE playing Adriana.
How about an unkown, perchance our own Vixter?

But could she really play 15?? I'm not exactly sure how old the characters on GLEE are supposed to be (17?). I like Lea Michele but she is 23, and i don't know that she could play 15.
I want to say to all and one and everyone in between, last night's "Supernatural" was a tour-de-force of creativity, imagination and excellent writing. This show has been wonderful from the start but it began picking up steam two seasons ago. After last season, I figured this season would be a denouement.
It isn't. It's gone on to greater heights, in my opinion.
And this show is not the kind of show that would find a home on the "major" networks at all. But it has become the keystone of the CW.

Good morning, all! The cold and the godawful gunk inside my sinuses refuse to depart willingly. I really am not happy about this at all.
DR Ben, I am not heading far today; first up, the McGlinnventory, which is currently happening on Thursdays and Fridays because of the paralegal's problems with baby sitters, followed by a trip to Music Theatre International to drop off the second proof of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA, Act one. It looks great! Then it's right up to physical therapy and when I get back here, laundry, which is badly needed. Are you two around this weekend? I've got three more cassettes I would like to turn over to Anthony. While I have the money, I can even pay him in advance for them.
My LoC check finaly arrived yesterday and so I am very happy for the nonce.

I plan to spend most of tomorrow in bed, if I can.
DR Cilla, I'm very, very sorry to hear about your friend's cousin. I hope information will become available that might help others understand which symptoms are a warning to seek medical care in time.
I've gone Apple!
Well, I've gone Apple keyboard at least.

Ever.
Why? I once said "ever" and here I am, eating my words as well as having just eaten some pasta papa.
I've always assumed that the jumps in skating are like the jumps in ballet and other types of dancing. Like how each person is either right or left handed, they jump either clock-wise or counterclock-wise. It's all personal preference...I assume. :)

Usually I get Kritzerland CDs in the mail on the same day when everyone else receives his, but not today. I did not get the Brent CD today.
