Last night, I ushered for a performance by the one and only Kate Clinton! She was wonderful! She spoke for about an hour and a half, was very topical and everyone loved her. A great evening was had by all! Afterwards, she came out (no pun intended ;)) to the lobby and greeted people as they left, signed any autographs and had pictures taken with many of the patrons. I asked her to sign the WCPA season brochure for me and she did:

ADRIANA CASTING SUGGESTION:
Kay Panabaker (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0659048/)
In her 2004-5 series "Summerland" she played:
Nikki is at an awkward age of 13 and trying to fit in to the Californian teenage world. She is very bright and enjoys reading books and writing poetry- not the popular shopping and clothes.
She played a pal of Nancy Drew in the movie, and had a lead roll in the new remake of Fame.

Our little OCIEE NASH star, Skyler Day, is about the right age now. She guest starred recently on icarly. Apparently you can see her episode on Hulu, but I don't Hulu, so...
She is one of the sweetest, most wonderful kids ever---a dream to work with. Very professional, and also has a nice singing voice and writes songs. She's going to be singing at the Bluebird Cafe on Jan 31st. If we weren't going to be in LA then I would go up for that! She's also in some CMT competition right now. And she lives in LA.
Check her out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaBaWRNh2pU&feature=related

Favorite Mercer lyrics:
She's got a nervish, throwin' him a curvish/ which is something he doesn't deservish.
Poor old whirling dervish!
If you're a P-V-T, your duty / Is to salute to L-I-E-U-T / But if you brush the L-I-E-U-T / The M-P makes you K-P on the Q-T!
When you is antiquated / Boys ain't enchantiquated
I got a million of 'em...

California cities act to ban cat declawing
L.A. is among those rushing to prohibit the practice before a state law backed by a group of vets says they can't.
...
Veterinarians who did not want cities meddling in their business persuaded the state Legislature to bar local governments from banning the practice of declawing cats -- beginning in 2010.
Not wanting to be pushed around themselves, nearly half a dozen cities are rushing to prohibit the controversial procedure before the January deadline, striking a blow for rights both animal and municipal.

I have no death-wish, so I will not suggest a discussion of the pros and cons of banning de-clawing; the story does raise interesting issues about what levels of government have the right to dictate to others.

Little known fact about Johnny Mercer:
He was originally set to write the lyric for the main theme to THE SANDPIPER.
I don't know the exact reason (Perhaps he was ill), but at some point, he was replaced by Paul Francis Webster.
The song, "The Shadow of Your Smile," won the Oscar that year.

This morning I woke up glanced at the clock and thought it said 8:45. I thought it seemed a bit dark for 8:45, but I didn't have any reason to doubt it. I got up, got ready for my day and looked at the clock. It was now 7:05, lol. It's ok. I'm going to an auction this morning so I don't mind an early start to the day

Re: Adriana casting suggestions
DR Jose mentioned the soap operas. There is one person on The Young & The Restless who is the right age and type. She is a good actress (she used to be great on Gilmore Girls). but she is not so hot in her current role (on the soap). But i think a lot of it is the character.
Anyhow her name is: Vanessa Marano.
Re: Kay Panabaker. I watched her on Summerland. She was very good. I can't believe she is 19 now. But i'm guessing she would look younger (although i have not seen her in a few years).

My poor niece is not feeling well after her thursday flu shot.
She had a fever yesterday and was totally out of it. And now in the middle of the night she woke up with a bloody nose which she got everywhere. And now she has a fever again (close to 103F). But at least the meds are bringing it down.
I know it is a common symptom in kids to get this reaction after the H1N1 shot. IT just sucks. My poor sis is losing her mind because she is so tired.

I taught GREAT EXPECTATIONS to my advanced eighth graders for many years. It's my favorite Dickens book, and the film version, while dropping a fair number of subplots, is most masterful in retaining everything that's important.
I had no trouble with John Mills as the older Pip, but Valerie Hobson seemed WAY too old as Estella. Martitia Hunt was perfection as Miss Havisham. In fact, apart from Hobson, I think the movie is perfectly cast.
BTW, Jean Simmons, who makes a grand young Estella here, played Miss Havisham in a BBC miniseries of the novel many years later.

My work project for today is TWO GIRLS AND A GUY. I've never seen this romantic comedy before. It IS a Fox Blu-ray, however, so at least I'm going to see it with its greatest opportunity for video and audio quality.
I can't tell you how disappointed I was to be reviewing ICE AGE 3 on DVD rather than the Blu-ray disc. Everything seemed a bit duller and lackluster compared to the Blu-ray of the second one which I watched a week ago in anticipation of getting the Blu-ray of the third one to review.
-
Yes, those price cuts on DVDs at Wal-Mart, Target, and Amazon have spilled over to pricing on Bluray, too. HARRY POTTER is now three dollars less than the pre-order price I paid (and have since had adjusted by Amazon).

I'm heading down now to finish NORTH BY NORTHWEST which I got about 3/4 of the way through last night. Will also watch the new documentary on Hitchcock contained within.

I don't know the exact reason (Perhaps he was ill), but at some point, he was replaced by Paul Francis Webster.
The song, "The Shadow of Your Smile," won the Oscar that year.
His lyrics were rejected, according to Johnny Mandel's interview (one of the ones that was cut, along with a great one by J.M.'s friend Rod McKuen). J.M. was never one to talk ill of anyone (when sober, anyway) but he did name that song on a BBC show when he was asked if there were any songs he wish he'd written. And he got a little revenge by making a joke about thinking that "The Shadow of Your Smile" referred to a lady with a mustache.

Great news about Bk's prospects!!!

Another favorite lyric from my favorite song cut from the film (Johnny's screen debut, too!) "There's nothing like a college education"

I think that declawing cats is a barbaric practice, even though I didn't realize that until after I had Angel and her brother P.T. delcawed. Still, I am afraid that banning the practice will cut down on the number of cats that will be adopted. Just my two-cents.

Poor Megan, & your sister. Are you going over to help? What meds did they give her? I really hadn't read about the reactions to the shot. I thought only the live virus would cause this kind of severe reactions. Reminds me of the 2 times I had the old, live virus, flu shots as a kid. Both times I got the flu after recovering from my reaction.

And I think many of us love this with all our hearts:
Hooray for Hollywood, that screwy, bally hooey Hollywood.
Where any office boy or young mechanic can be a panic with just a looking pan.
And any barmaid can be a star maid if she dances with or without a fan.
Hooray for Hollywood where you're terrific if you're even good.
Where anyone at all from Shirley Temple to Aimee Semple is equally understood,
Go out and try your luck, you might be Donald Duck! Hooray for Hollywood.
Hooray for Hollywood, that phony super Coney, Hollywood.
They come from Chillicothes and Paducahs with their bazookas to get their names up in lights.
All armed with photos from local Rotos with their hair in ribbons and legs in tights.
Hooray for Hollywood, you may be homely in your neighborhood,
But if you think you can be an actor, see Mr. Factor, he'd make a monkey look good.
Within a half an hour, you look like Tyrone Power! Hooray for Hollywood!

LOL DR Ron, you seem to be as enchanted with Molly as I am. Thanks for the photos.
I didn't know you were a fan, DR Jane. Every time she's on camera in "Castle", she lights up the TV screen! She's very natural and nicely matched as Fillion's daughter.

Good morning, all! I'm checking in to let you know I am not dead and to disappoint my critics. I do not feel terrible, but my head is clogged up, and I am so hoarse I cannot speak a sentence.

Well, today I have to go to work for a few hours, then tonight's theatrical outing is a local production of a two-person version of The Turn of the Screw (http://www.buyolympia.com/events/?details=444). I've been hearing nothing but absolute raves. I've done shows with both the actors, so I'm very excited to see this. It's being presented at The Midnight Sun, which is a tiny performance space that holds about 40 people, at the most. It's very intimate and for a show like this, it should be the perfect space. :)

So, now I must be off. Have a good day, all!

There's a lot of great mercer songs
He did some great ones with Mancini.

There are enjoyable ones with Hoagy Carmichael
And some unsuspecting good ones with Barry Manilow

I also watched the new hour-long documentary on Hitchcock. I felt kind of sorry that the talking heads had only Hitchcock's Warner films to use as their points of reference. Obviously there are a few really wonderful fims there, but you know they would have rather be making their points using REAR WINDOW or VERTIGO or PSYCHO or SHADOW OF A DOUBT instead of STAGE FRIGHT (which I very much like, BTW) or I CONFESS.
And DIAL M FOR MURDER looked pretty terrible in those clips. A LOT of work will need to be done on that before it will be Blu-ray ready.
Did they need to identify each talking head EVERY time he or she came on screen? How many times must we be notified that the speaker is "William Friedkin, Director, THE EXORCIST."
-
Thank you DRs George & DAW. Here is one of Yogi with Ioana.

As I ate lunch I watched SUPERNAURAL. As DR Ron Pulliam mentioned the other day, the episode was brilliantly creative and tons of fun, another in a long string of home runs the show has been hitting during the past two seasons.
And next week's show (I glanced at the previews) looks equally appealing. I LOVE this show!

She feels that my natural bite may have been thrown off by the placement of the new crown and that my mouth muscles are compensating and getting really sore - that makes total sense, so I'll call Dr. Chew and see if he can check it out and maybe file it down or re-position the crown.
That is a very good guess. Sometimes it takes a few visits to get the sizing right, and more comfortable.
Or it could have been those Big Hunks. ;)
bk - Are you taking anything right now to relieve the pain? Tylenol, Advil, etc.? I guess as long as it just "aches" and doesn't "sting", you should be OK for now. Can you tell if you have any redness or swelling?
-
I don't really think there are serious prospects for Adriana right now - I take all of this with a grain of salt. The producer has worked a lot in TV, that's all I really know. But it's good to pass on these excellent suggestions.
I wonder if any of Disney's or Nickelodeon's current batch of "tween stars" would work?
-
I could kick myself that I didn't decide to go to Rome one day earlier. I could have easily left on Wednesday instead of Thursday, since Wednesday is a holiday. It never occured to me that the Vatican would be closed all day on Sunday (It is a church!), and that they would be closed a half day on Saturday. So, I have now purchased a 10:30 a.m. Saturday ticket for a two hour Vatican / Sistine Chapel tour.
Anything else I get to see will be gravy, I guess.
-
DR Jane, I keep thinking....did Yogi have a visa? I think I've been working too much
LOL. You aren't working too much. He needed a passport as did Kitty when she came.

My money is on the Big Hunks. I just had a crown put in last Tuesday, and my dentist told me to avoid anything really chewy for, at least, a couple of weeks.

I'm sure there is plenty to see in Rome, plus you can relax some while you adjust to the time change.

My poor niece is not feeling well after her thursday flu shot.
She had a fever yesterday and was totally out of it. And now in the middle of the night she woke up with a bloody nose which she got everywhere. And now she has a fever again (close to 103F). But at least the meds are bringing it down.
I know it is a common symptom in kids to get this reaction after the H1N1 shot. IT just sucks. My poor sis is losing her mind because she is so tired.
Poor Megan, & your sister. Are you going over to help? What meds did they give her? I really hadn't read about the reactions to the shot. I thought only the live virus would cause this kind of severe reactions. Reminds me of the 2 times I had the old, live virus, flu shots as a kid. Both times I got the flu after recovering from my reaction.
VIBES YOUR NIECE FEELS BETTER & STAYS THAT WAY!!!
yes i went over there. My sis is very stressed out. i wouldn't call this a severe reaction. But she still had fever today (although it went down each time she got meds). She also threw up.
I think they are giving her tempra (that is what kids get when they have a fever).

re: adriana casting
I was thinking about young actresses currently on tv shows.
There is a new girl on DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES who is Carlos' niece ana Her name is maiara Walsh. I think she is around 20. But she is playing a 16 year old. She is a vixen.
Also big right now is canadian (she used to be on a show called degrassi) Nina Dobrev. She is currently the star of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES and is playing a 17ish year old (she is also around 20).
On HEROES we have hayden Panettiere.
I was also thinking there are a bunch of girls on 90210 that are in the right age group: Shenae grimes (annie), analynne mccord (naomi)(she has also been on nip/tuck), jessica lowndes (who plays adrianna).

Hmmmm.... When I think of Adriana Hofstetter, "vixen" and "TV soap slutty" are NOT the first things that come to my mind. -Yes, they may draw in viewers, but...
How about Camryn Grimes who portrayed (and sometimes still does) "Cassie" on "The Young & The Restless"?

Oh...

I'll check to see who he made the arrangements through.

DR Jane, I keep thinking....did Yogi have a visa? I think I've been working too much

A passport? So he has a Romanian passport with his photo and a visa in it?

Good morning, all! I'm checking in to let you know I am not dead and to disappoint my critics. I do not feel terrible, but my head is clogged up, and I am so hoarse I cannot speak a sentence.
I think my favorite Johnny Mercer lyrci may be "My Shining Hour."
Margaret Whiting has a very poignant story about singing this to the soldiers before they went off to war. But alas, she is old and some people are of the opinion that viewers don't like to look at old people.
Pot...this is kettle...

Not sure about the photo part. Before a pet travels between countries, at least the U.S.A. they need to be checked by a vet and forms filled out in order to receive the passport. Then there is a a very limited time the passport is good for once the vet signs off.

I actually kind of liked SWING VOTE. Not a great film by any measure, but good performances and one which didn't answer the ultimate question at the end, which I really liked.
this one I've got to ageee with him.

And from td is where I heard her for the first time!

I will say that Margaret Whiting looked and sounded better in the Mercer documentary than she did in the Jack Wrangler documentary.

Yes, but we had a very annoying guidance counselor in junior high school who used to say (not sing) that all the time, so I think of her when I hear it and it sort of ruins the song for me, .lol
-
That interview was done @ 3 years ago by the original producer. Ah, if only...
Greg recorded the sound---they did the interview in her apartment and he got to meet Jack, too. She is a sweet lady.

Yes, BK and I had a yummilicious lunch at Hamburger Hamlet. The food was VERY good. We split an order of his beloved nachos, in addition to our entrees. (WHAT?? He didn't mention the FOOD??) He'd complained earlier that the side of his mouth was so sore that he could hardly talk or eat. I was pleased to see that he had no trouble with either. ;)

Back from a lovelier than lovely luncheon with dear reader Jeannie. The food was fine, the conversation sparkled, and she had a really good thought as to what my problems are with the left side of the mouth. She feels that my natural bite may have been thrown off by the placement of the new crown and that my mouth muscles are compensating and getting really sore - that makes total sense, so I'll call Dr. Chew and see if he can check it out and maybe file it down or re-position the crown.
That is a very good guess. Sometimes it takes a few visits to get the sizing right, and more comfortable.
Or it could have been those Big Hunks. ;)
bk - Are you taking anything right now to relieve the pain? Tylenol, Advil, etc.? I guess as long as it just "aches" and doesn't "sting", you should be OK for now. Can you tell if you have any redness or swelling?
It's just kind of a dull ache - sometimes it doesn't even bother me, but sometimes it gives me a headache, especially if I'm trying to wrap my mouth around a sandwich at Jerry's. There's no real stinging pain. No redness, no swelling. I didn't do the bite-size Big Hunks for at least four weeks after the crown was put in, and even then I chewed them on the other side of my mouth.
-
There was a very cute little crime book called EVERY LITTLE CROOK AND NANNY which my Aunt Betty gave to me as a kid. I think it might have been made into a movie, and for some reason I'm thinking Richard Castellano was in it.
-
We did have to leave a key component off the nachos, the beef, as Jeannie didn't want the beef - but that effectively cut the fat grams and calories in half, so I was jiggy with it and I was also down with it.
-
DR JEANNE!!
-
BK - could your mouth pain be TMJ? Worth considering...
-
Feel better vibes for sister and niece of DR JENNIFER.
And for DR ELMORE. And of course for MR BK and his bicuspids.

DR JANE - Yogi is dolly! What a cute doggie!
And of course Miss Margaret Whiting sang for Ms Susan Hayward in the film of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, but she couldn't be used on the soundtrack LP because of contractual obligations, so the soundtrack features Ms Eileen Wilson singing "I'll Plant My Own Tree" - a song NOT written by Johnny Mercer.
-
I watched NICHOLAS & ALEXANDRA last night and enjoyed it. I thought Janet Suzman was very good....Michael Jayston had a couple of weird moments when he was really really ACTING UP A STORM.....and I don't think I have to see it again, but I enjoyed it.

The Figure Skating Finals were supposed to be on Universal Sports tonight, but a Fox Midwest FOOTBALL game is being broadcast instead.

Jeannie didn't want the beef
I'm surprised she didn't ask them to substitute tuna salad.

After I finished up Season 4 of IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, I watched a 1934 Joan Crawford film, SADIE MCKEE, which I liked very much. I primarily wanted to see it to hear and see Earl Oxford, who played the juvenile lead in Life begins At 8:40, which opened in October 1934. He has a very small role, playing the singer who replaced Gene Raymond in Dolly's stage act, but he does sing a refrain of "All I Do Is Dream Of you."
And now, to bed.

G'night!

Had some interesting viewing this evening.
I began with TWO GIRLS AND A GUY. It has a great premise, but oh, boy, did it go off the rails for me about halfway through, and it only got worse as it continued. I didn't believe the things that were happening for one minute once things went south.
The Blu-ray is only slightly above average though the film was made in less than two weeks and for very little money. It did offer the R-rated and NC-17 rated versions on the same disc. THE NC-17 version is a little over a minute longer, most certainly due to added seconds in the lengthy sex scene between Robert Downey Jr. and Heather Graham (who is the best thing in the movie).
-
There was a commentary (dull) and a 20+ minute conversation with the writer-director James Toback talking about the movie's production which was more interesting than the commentary with him, Downey, and Natasha Wagner (Natalie Wood's daughter). There was also a trailer.
-
Then I watched three more programs from the DVR. I skimmed through Friday's AS THE WORLD TURNS. There was nothing of interest, and the boys didn't show up in the previews either.
-
What is TMJ? Too Much Jerky? Too Many JuJuBees? Three More Jews? The Manly Jester?
-
Then I watched Friday night's UGLY BETTY. Oh, Betty, please! You can't have your cake and eat it too! You can't be an editor AND long for your old job as Daniel's assistant.
I found the scene where Amanda gathered together a group of guys for Betty to take as a date to a charity funtion very insulting. First, she judged those guys on their looks alone and not on any attributes they might have (which is what she's been dealing with for four seasons. And the biker guy looked kind of hunky to my eyes.) And seconly, it was JUST an escort. No one was asking her to spend the rest of her life with any of these guys.
I did like the surprise with Nico, but I can't believe Willi hasn't seen through her yet. Wake up! She was already duped and lost her fortune. Are the writers seriously going to have her fleeced again?
-
I finished my evening viewing with Friday night's WHITE COLLAR. I did enjoy this episode much more than last week's. Had some decent mystery and surprise to it, and a lovely dog subplot for DR Jane. :)
-
What is TMJ? Too Much Jerky? Too Many JuJuBees? Three More Jews? The Manly Jester?
TemporoMandibular Joint disorder (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/tmj-disorders/DS00355) can be aggravated by too much jerky and too many JuJuBees. Clenching your jaws and grinding your teeth don't help either. My dentist made me a guard to wear over my upper teeth to help me keep my jaw relaxed when I sleep.
-
I'm going to head downstairs now and go to bed.
Good night!
-
And it is bed for me as well, work tomorrow.
-
But alas, she is old and some people are of the opinion that viewers don't like to look at old people.
I guess that explains why "The Golden Girls" was such a flop :-X

Tonight I watched Cats 101 on Animal Planet. I couldn't find anything else I wanted to watch.. We did discover that mom and dad's Phoebe is a Bombay. No doubt about that one.

Today is DN Adam's birthday...well it's almost over. We had a nice conversation.
On the other side of the family, DN David had to go to the hospital for the second time in three nights. They think he has kidney stones. He's on blood thinners for life because of his mechanical heart valve. As a result he was having a lot of blood in his urine and a lot of pain. They've gotten the bleeding to stop and he's had some heavy duty pain meds. Hopefully this will pass, and he'll recover quickly. it's been a helluva year for that poor kid.

Meanwhile, I was starting to stress a bit because I spent the whole day doing yard work and not working at all on my brief that's due Wednesday....then I stopped and realized it's not due Wednesday....it's due a week from Wednesday. What a relief. Tomorrow is going to be a much better day now

What is TMJ? Too Much Jerky? Too Many JuJuBees? Three More Jews? The Manly Jester?
TemporoMandibular Joint disorder (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/tmj-disorders/DS00355) can be aggravated by too much jerky and too many JuJuBees. Clenching your jaws and grinding your teeth don't help either. My dentist made me a guard to wear over my upper teeth to help me keep my jaw relaxed when I sleep.
I got one of those at the drugstore and thought I'd see if I can handle sleeping with one before paying bigger bucks for the one from the dentist. Was it hard to get used to?

TMJ can also be triggered by stressful situations such as working on a long musical with a set of collaborators that don't really collaborate.

But alas, she is old and some people are of the opinion that viewers don't like to look at old people.
I guess that explains why "The Golden Girls" was such a flop :-X

Well... It's that time of night again...
Goodnight.

I'm finished with my viewing for the evening, save for watching more of the original Taking of Pelham 123 before I go to sleep.

It's deader than a dead herring in the moonlight around these here parts.
