There's Mel, There's Woody, and There's You
My Life in the Slow Lane
Bruce Kimmel has managed to eke out a career in one form of show business or another for over forty years. A successful Grammy-nominated record producer, Kimmel began his show business journey as an actor, in a time when being a young up-and-coming thespian was fun, thrilling, and when anything seemed possible. It was a different world for a young actor in the 1970s, and Kimmel’s journey is paved with laughs, tears, success, and an amazing cast of players. At twenty-seven, he wrote, co-directed, and starred in a film that would become a major cult success, The First Nudie Musical. He did TV pilots, guest shots, series, plays. He met and worked with incredible people. It was the kind of time we will never see again.
And then things changed. The nature of the business changed. And the path to dealing with those changes—getting older, trying to survive in an ever increasingly negative and cutthroat world—becomes a story of reinvention and rebirth. Through it all, Kimmel tells his tale with wit, candor, affection, and self-effacing honesty.
Enjoy being the fly on the wall as Kimmel hangs out with Elsa Lanchester, Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy; goes to Groucho’s house and plays the piano for him; works with Shirley Jones, David Cassidy, Susan Dey on The Partridge Family. We observe his long friendship with Cindy Williams, watch as he works with screen legends Patricia Neal, Jean Simmons, Leslie Nielsen, Patrick Macnee, Bud Cort, and Geraldine Fitzgerald, and as he hangs out with Hugh Hefner at the Playboy mansion.
Bruce Kimmel’s showbiz tales are loaded with laughs, wide-eyed wonder, and heart.
Bruce Kimmel has written nine other books—his acclaimed Kritzer trilogy (Benjamin Kritzer, Kritzerland, and Kritzer Time), Writer’s Block, Rewind, How To Write A Dirty Book and Other Stories, and his popular Adriana Hofstetter mystery series, Murder At Hollywood High, Murder At The Grove, and Murder At The Hollywood Historical Society. He has done many other things, the majority of which you can read about in this book.

Just ordered,
Time for bed
-
I'm finally home and have ordered BK's book. :)
-
Book ordered! Yes,, I got up at 3:05 a.m,. to make sure that my name is in the hat.
-
DR EVIL KURT (who is now car-less) and I enjoyed hanging out with DR CP and MR BK muchly on Friday night, and it's very nice being mentioned in THE NOTES once again!
A book signing in Indianapolis would be most exciting and interesting and it is something to look forward to.
And now - I am going back to bed.
As for TOD:
The home made chili that my mom makes is good. I don't order chili out very much.....so I will have to stick with that.
Congratulations to MR BK on his book - and send him best selling vibes for There's Mel There's Woody and There's You!
-
Back to bed.
-
And thanks to CR CP for his kind comments yesterday. It was great fun meeting you - and thanks for signing my DVD's!
-
Oh and DR JOSE - DR EVIL KURT is fine - but most annoyed at Saturday's event. He is now driving a rental car ;paid for by his insurance, and should find out tomorrow what the final disposition will be on his now demolished car.....
-
Monday morning greetings! I had a better night' sleep than I usually have my first (in this case, only) night in a hotel and am enjoying coffee and The Today Show. Later this morning, I'll find someplace for brunch and proceed to Columbus Metropolitan Library for a seminar on fundraising planning.
No back pain here, but my doctor has put me on massive doses of vitamin D to address the hip and leg pain I've had for several months.

I ordered mine!!
-
Now I must go to work so I can pay for it - laters!!
-
Hi, DR Vixmom - have a good day!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Good morning, DR Ben!
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm about to head to the airport. Alas, I'm not flying today, but my parents will be.
-
Last night DR Elmore asked:
"The Halloween one is creepy. I liked it. Was the Blair witch parody in Season Two?"
I believe so, yes. The one where the kid was found in the woods with witch fetish symbols all around? That was a very creepy episode and I remember being very surprised by the murderer's identity in that episode.
-
And here we go...
Laters...
-
Good Morning to All!
-
Good morning!
I slept better than I expected to with my stiff, sore back, and it's some better this morning. I hot shower in a little while will do wonders for it, I know.
-
It was 40 this morning. My back was too sore for me to walk or to do a workout naturally, but looks like it will be a sweater and jeans day today. And no rain in the forecast for the rest of this week.
-
Right now, my plans are to watch and review 'M' on Blu-ray this afternoon. Any arrivals from Fox or elsewhere could change the plans since 'M' doesn't come out until May 11th.
And if my back isn't noticeably better, I may postpone 'M' as well and just take it easy today.
-
With CHUCK and LAW AND ORDER still in rerun mode, I have only '24,' NURSE JACKIE, and the season finale of DAMAGES on tape for tonight.
BTW, the new love interest for Beckett on CASTLE looks gorgeous.
-
Here are my VB FB playmates:

Well, i ordered the book last night. i was hoping it would be here by now. I checked this morning's packages, and no sign of it.
Seriously, i really can't wait to read this, bk!
-
Great photo, Ginny!
-
Good morning, all! The neighbor was particularly noisy and the dog particularly frisky last night so I slept late this morning. It all began around 10 or so with the loud arrival of company (I think) that put the dog into hyperactivity, with much loud scolding, chatter, and a lot of thumping around the ceiling from the dog and company. Around 1:30 or 2, I woke up unable to breath from the gunk in my sinuses, so I had to get up to blow my nose, have some water, and I foolishly removed the ear plugs because I hate them. Shortly thereafter, the neighbor returned home (Noisily), clomped about the apartment in what I swear are cleats weighing a ton each. I want him dead.
I am off to do laundry. Later, lunch with my friend Daniel.

Re: TOD. First of all, any chili MUST NEVER HAVE BEANS!
I love my Cincinnati Chili. And I am very happy that I have a Gold Star close at hand near where I live. I can also buy various varieties of Cincinnati chili in cans at the grocery. What the unintiated really don't understand about Cincy chili is that it must sit atop something...a hot dog or spaghetti...and then must be topped with something...defintiely heaping mounds of shredded cheese...and, for me, onions. If you eat Cincy chili undressed by itself in a bowl, you are likely to be disappointed, even though it will retain its excellent, unusual taste. It is a Greek recipe.
I also like Texas chili, thick and meaty where the fork can stand up in the bowl. There was a place in Dallas, Texas where I ate after a show once that had the best chili ever. I do not remember its name and I suspect it no longer exist.
My wife actually makes an excellent turkey chili that requires Corona beer in it. I love it when she makes a big pot of it along with corn bread and it lasts for days, so I can dole it out whenever I want.
-
BK,
Take this as a compliment:
Every time you fly, I LOL...particularly when you're sitting next to an annoying passenger.
You're like my former publicity client, comedian Jack Carter.
He was funniest when he was angry.
:D
-
TOD:
Would you believe that two dishes that I dislike are chili and barbecue?
And, I moved to Texas....
:-\
-
TOD:
I've never been a fan of clili, but the chili described by DR Pogue above sounds like something I might be willing to try.
-
No UPS deliveries thus far, so it looks like Peter Lorre and I have a rendezvous for later today. (Thankfully, I'm not a child so I have nothing to fear from him.)
-
Heading down now to take a hit, hot shower and hope for the best. (Getting in and out of the shower will be a chore, I suspect.)
WBBL.
-
It may be much warmer today. And that's okay.
-
TOD - I'm a Skyline 4-way bean (spaghetti, chili, beans, cheese) kind of gal, but really prefer my homemade chili. It's very tomatoey and a double recipe is just right for the crockpot.
-
Now, I'm off to find brunch and to the library...bye for now!
-

And DR Ginny makes very good chili! So did my mother, when she was functioning.
I've been to pharmacy, laundromat, and now it's time to mop the floors. After that, OZ edits. My trip to the pharmacy was for paper towels. I got toothpaste, light bulbs, first aid supplies, vitamins and forgot the towels. Damn!
-
Correct or not. I love kidney beans in chili and I love love love chili on hot dogs with chopped onion and grated cheddar.
-
And of course the Mercury retrograde starts today, bringing slow downs and delays in all areas....particularly computers, electronics, and all communication.
Rest easy - it only lasts until May 11.
-
Well, i ordered the book last night. i was hoping it would be here by now. I checked this morning's packages, and no sign of it.

:D LOL!

I like home made chili. I also make it with kidney beans and love it on hot dogs
-
Last night I discovered an alumni website from my college dorm. It was called Hashinger Center for the Creative Arts but known as Hashinger Hall or just Hash. It was a crazy place to live. I was up much later than I should have been reading posts and reminiscing. Lots of people I knew were on the site and on the companion facebook page. What fun!
-
DR MattH, I know this may sound weird but have you tried walking with your sore back? Or does it make it worse?
For some reason my lower back always feels better when i walk or bike (yet hurts when i sit or lie down). I have no idea if this is totally abnormal, cause i also thought i would not be able to exercise with a sore back. But i just tried it and it felt amazing.
-
I make chili and i also use red kidney beans.
I don't think i've ever had a chili dog. Not sure that they are very popular here.
-
DR Cillaliz, i was wondering since DWTS is on tonight, have you and your mom picked your favorites yet?
I'd say my first favorite is nicole and derek. And my second favorite is evan and anna. Even though i've never liked her she's growing on me and i find she works very well with him, so i'm liking them as a team even though i didn't think i would.
-
Thanks for the tips re: sore backs.
DR Jeanne will the homeopathic arnica really help? It's a recurring lower back thing. I have a health food store like 5 minutes away.
Also DR Jane, i do have a heating pad although not one you can soak with water. I wonder if i should use it more. I feel like there is a spot on my left lower back that is constantly inflammed.
-
My luncheon date has been canceled, although I wish I'd known an hour ago. We're on for tomorrow.

Not sure if this is password protected.....I submitted it to the INDY STAR this morning for publication. Not optimistic, but the patented HHW vibes may help get it onto the page.

So sad to be all alone in the world.

DR ELMORE - I have never received such booty in the mail....please thank Mr Hercules. I shall now watch the DVD again, and hopefully he received some of the money I spent on it.
-
Hmmm...I wonder how many HHWers have ever seen this 1969 made in Florida version of THE WIZARD OF OZ.
The films producer/director claimed that he was negotiating with Judy Garland to do the n'arration. I wonder how many milliseconds it took her agent to say "No!" Hee, hee!
The actress playing Mombi seems to be channeling Dorothy Neumann as the witch in Roger Corman's The Undead.

I'm up and awaiting the arrival of CDs. Looks like a nice day outside. I had a great night's sleep, I must say.
-
OMG DR MBARNUM - I am Ozzified by that clip....and the others at the link.
I think I must see this motion picture.
-
MR BK does this link bring up the photo for you?
http://photos.indystar.com/photos/371914?template=default
If it gets published, I will send you a tear sheet.
-
My grammar is messed up in the blurb, I just realized. Oh well....the editors at the STAR will fix it.
-
Good Afternoon!
My parents plane should be taking off momentarily...
And, I, momentarily, will begin my drive up to DC...
DR elmore - Shall I say HI to anyone for you? ;)
-
DR Ginny - So, when you caption that pic, do you also list the person's name in addition to the pattern/design? ;)
-
OH! BK in the news!!!
-
I think that's a must DR JOSE.....patterns for those of us who don't know.
Driving vibes for you....what are you driving?
-
OH! BK in the news!!!
BK IS NEWS!
-
I think that's a must DR JOSE.....patterns for those of us who don't know.
Driving vibes for you....what are you driving?
A car. It's black. And has a full tank of gas.
That's all I know, and that's all that matters.
-
OK...
Time to head north for a couple of hours.
Laters...
-
LOL....if you have the key....go for it.
-
From td:
I am reading 2 books from the library right now: THE RED LEATHER DIARY and Dacre Stoker's DRACULA THE UN-DEAD, the latter of which would indeed give DR Jane nightmares.
I look forward to reading your reaction to Diary.
I'm not fond of Dracula stories, yet we watched ZOMBIELAND last night, at my suggestion ;D

This one somehow works like a moist heat, you place a towel between you and the pad, yet no water is involved. It is all electric. If you feel the spot is inflamed I suggested using ice. Do you have a soft ice pack you can re-freeze? I sometimes alternated ice & heat.
-
Good Afternoon!

-
DR's Matt H, TCB, Jennifer, Ginny, Jeanne, & any DR I might have misseD, I hope you are in less pain today.

I think I will use the score and songs from BEING JULIA in my production of BLITHE SPIRIT.

Mr Hercules says the singers were paid for the performance and received nothing for the taping because Spoleto and the producers said they had no money. He thinks the video was good exposure - literally - and great publicity so he isn't at all bitter.
-
That was scary, MBarnum.
-
Yes DR ELMORE it was certainly great exposure.

Yes DR ELMORE it was certainly great exposure.
And you have proof! I just talked to him and read him your email.

Yuck--been sick with a cold all weekend and I'm home from work today because I'm still drowsey from the NyQuil. But the coughing-sneezing-wheezing-blahs have come to a hault, at least.

DR DtM, glad you are beginning to feel better-vibes for a speedy recovery now.

Thanks, DR Jane.
I think I'm going to try to do some weekend chores that got neglected--a load of laundry and processing the week's mail. Maybe if I move around some I'll work the meds out of my system...

DR Jrand the link worked for me.
-
In the unbelievable but true department, the idiot Program Manager at the senior center just memorialized in an email to me that she wants me to LIE to the many venues I had booked the choir into (which I am now cancelling), and most of which book me as a solo person, hence their interest in this frankly less than pro senior choir, so as NOT TO EMBARASS the senior center! Ummmm.......no.

Ice reduces inflammation. 10 minutes at a time is usually enough. I prefer heat for relief but sometimes you need ice.

I'm not fond of Dracula stories, yet we watched ZOMBIELAND last night, at my suggestion ;D
It was fun, particularly the Bill Murray sequence.
Still, I just sold my copy on ebay.
-
It was fun & it was your post about it that put me in the mood to watch it. We own very few movies. I wouldn't call Zombieland a keeper.
-
DR DanTheMan, you will be pleased to know that the made in Florida films of the 60s covered many genres.
-
DR MattH, I know this may sound weird but have you tried walking with your sore back? Or does it make it worse?
For some reason my lower back always feels better when i walk or bike (yet hurts when i sit or lie down). I have no idea if this is totally abnormal, cause i also thought i would not be able to exercise with a sore back. But i just tried it and it felt amazing.
I walked yesterday morning when it was just a little stiff, and by the afternoon I was in horrific pain. However, I do not take to my bed when my back seizes up like this. I have too much to do to lie in bed and moan about it. I get around as best I can.
The hot shower this morning did ease the stiffness and pain some, and the heating pad this afternoon also helped. It's always something that has to run its course with me. It'll take three or four days, and I'll be back to normal. Getting there, however, is a painful trip.
-
DR's Matt H, TCB, Jennifer, Ginny, Jeanne, & any DR I might have misseD, I hope you are in less pain today.
Thank you, DR Jane. It is somewhat less severe today than yesterday (which is as bad as I've ever felt with my lower back. Getting old is HELL.)
And sorry to read about your illness, DR Dan the Man. I hope you can feel better soon.
-
Before we left for lunch (yes, I FORCED myself to leave the house and go to lunch with best friend John), I watched last night's BROTHERS & SISTERS. Loved the scenes with Kevin and Scotty. I hope something VERY bad happens to Dennis York who is a smug and vicious goon.
-
When I got in from lunch, I watched 'M' on Blu-ray. Very pleased with the amount of depth and detail in this 1931 film. Sure, there are still scratches and some scenes that seem much softer than the rest. But overall, I was very impressed with the Blu-ray edition. The film has always deeply affected me and it still does even though I hadn't watched it in years.
-
I sampled some of the commentary and got about halfway through the William Friedkin interview with Fritz Lang which I'll finish when I go back down. Looks like I have quite a few more bonuses to go, however. I'll be working on this right up to tonight's '24.'
-
OK, that was a fast internet surf, and now I'm going to hop off-line and get some writing done. Then I'll head down to try to finish the rest of the 'M' bonus features.
WBBL.
-
Got everything but the big foreign stuff shipped out, so that's good. We'll do the foreign packages in the morning.
-
Had a spot of lunch at the Studio Cafe.
-
Jrand, very nice!

I watched three Blu-ray discs yesterday afternoon and evening.
First up was "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". I watched it once at some point during the end-of-year holidays, but I couldn't recall much about it. This remained true as the film played on...although it all came back to me as it unfolded. So, it was almost like watching it for the first time. Overall, the film was very dark...literally and figuratively. It took us here, it led us there, and it left me hanging. Hope the next one makes up for it.
Next up was "Twilight". I love vampire stories, and this one has a huge following. The leads are likable, but I find Robert Pattinson's makeup too distractingly "prettified" to not dwell upon at the expense of whatever angst is being expressed in the screenplay. He had an awful lot of artifiice to act through. I found myself much relieved when "Edward" left Forks. Teen angst ain't my thing. It wasn't when I was a teenager, and it sure isn't now.
Then came "New Moon". Yes, it's a better film. Taylor Lautner's Jakob is quite the character. I thought there might have been a little bit more there....but it all ended with the..."I love you too much to subject you to this hideous thing that is part of me". Gimme a break! I think Bella belongs with Jake. Yes, I do. Edward's way too effete for the likes of Bella. For the Italian sequence, at least we got in some of the local scenery.
Then it was bedtime. I dreamed of nothing occult, cold or hairy. I was much relieved.

BK, "paper" received, thanks. I will make the official announcement Thursday when I'm in my office, where I have already written brilliant verbiage for same. ;)
-
Not sure if this is password protected.....I submitted it to the INDY STAR this morning for publication. Not optimistic, but the patented HHW vibes may help get it onto the page.

Please let me know if the link brings up the photo for you. ;D
It worked for me!
-
Jrand, very nice!
I think D. Scott Robinson just ordered a copy of the book. I sent the link to his FaceBook and added it to mine.
-
DR JMK this is turning into the NeverEnding Firing.
-
Good Afternoon!
Greetings from the Tysons Corner Apple Store.
I'm posting this via an iPad. Hmmmmmm...
-
DR Jrand the link worked for me.
Thanks!
And DR GEORGE. ;D

Good Afternoon!
My parents plane should be taking off momentarily...
And, I, momentarily, will begin my drive up to DC...
DR elmore - Shall I say HI to anyone for you? ;)
SAFE & EASY TRAVEL VIBES TO YOU AND YOUR PARENTS!
I had a relatively uneventful trip up to DC - just some traffic at Fredericksburg, and my parents called me from Detroit right before their plane was about to depart for Manila (via Narita).
Thank You for the Vibes.
-

DR elmore - Shall I say HI to anyone for you? ;)
No. Take the money and run!
And that's basically what I did.
*But I stop by "Top Chef" Spike's Good Stuff Eatery for a Very Berry Shake.
-
LOL....if you have the key....go for it.
I believe it's a Nissan Altima. I think.
-
And now, I'm going to meet my friend, Andy, for dinner. :)
Laters...
-
I ordered my book! (Well, it's BK's book, but I will own it now that I've ordered it).
-
We don't own books - we are only their caretakers until they move on.
-
Yes, anyone who wants to share the book info with their Facebook friends, ala Jrand, please do so. Happy to see it's up at amazon, although it hasn't made it to the other book sites yet - hopefully soon.
-
And the book order has been placed so we should have them first week of May.
-
And I'm just making arrangements for the little gift, which I'll tell you is a thirty-track CD of rare Kimmel songs.
-
30 tracks!!!
You have to buy THREE Everly Brothers albums to get that many songs!
-
I forgot to mention, for you lower back sufferers, I have found sleeping with two pillows greatly reduced my chronic lower back pain. I angle the pillows on a slant, not one on top of the other.
-
DR Ginny - So, when you caption that pic, do you also list the person's name in addition to the pattern/design? ;)
Why, of course, DR Jose! One of the others did this on our Facebook discussion thread:
Cathy (Sittin' in a Tree Angle Tote)
Megan (Raspberry Fizz Backsack)
Stacy (Bali Blue Hipster)
Benita (Very Berry Paisley Betsy)
Bailey (Bali Blue Wristlet)
Ginny (Slate Blooms On the Go)
Patty (Cupcakes Green Reversible Tote)
Angela (Cupcakes Pink Hipster)
Tracy (Sittin' in a Tree Emma)
I've removed the last names and her editorial comments, to protect the innocent.
-
DR Ginny, I enjoyed all the purses in your group photo :) I almost said bags before realizing how it sounded.
LOL, DR Jane!!!
-
Y'all have probably guessed that I'm back from Columbus. The 2-part seminar at the library was quite good and being in the downtown Columbus Metropolitan Library renews my faith that not all urban public libraries have been relinquished to the bottom-feeders.
-
TOD - I'm a Skyline 4-way bean (spaghetti, chili, beans, cheese) kind of gal, but really prefer my homemade chili. It's very tomatoey and a double recipe is just right for the crockpot.
And DR Ginny makes very good chili!...
Why, thank you, dear DR Elmore!

First day of work for the Census Bureau was strange because the training kept getting interrupted, so very little was done. I actually read about 20 pages of a novel while waiting and waiting and waiting. Hopefully the rest of the week will be more active.
-
Craig briefly worked for the Census in Philadelphia. He said he spent much of his time correcting errors other people made. He still hasn't received his W2 & had to request an extension for his taxes.
-
TOD: I love many styles of chili from Texas to Cincinnati (don't share that with my Texas brothers; I may get kicked out of the state). The one thing I learned after moving to Texas is that beans have no place in great chili. I think that's something peculiar to this state, but your chili will get kicked out of many competitions if a pinto or kidney bean goes near it.
As far as I'm concerned, the hotter the bowl of red, the better. I love a Skyline four ways (chili, spaghetti, cheese and onions) drowned in hot sauce to balance the touch of cinnamon and chocolate in the Greek-style chili.
Here in Texas, I've had chili made with venison, antelope and assorted mystery meats, but the ground beef remains my favorite. It seems a perfect vehicle for conveying the spices.
-
Craig briefly worked for the Census in Philadelphia. He said he spent much of his time correcting errors other people made. He still hasn't received his W2 & had to request an extension for his taxes.
Yeah, they didn't give me a W2 today to fill out, but apparently the tax information has been entered (I watched the woman enter it myself). I wonder what they're going to do later when it comes tax time.
-
Great kitties, DR Jane.
-
Thanks. I saw the photo & had to share.

I'm listening to a wonderful music station on my computer at pandora.com. I'm still putting in various artists & composers to listen to. At the moment I am listening to my Max Bruch station. It plays Bruch and similar composers. I can click on like or dislike & supposedly it will remember my preferences.

The season for next year's tours has been announced:
Young Frankenstein
Hair
Shrek The Musical
9 to 5: The Musical
Fiddler On The Roof
Billy Elliot The Musical
Mamma Mia!
-
Fiddler on the Roof and Mamma Mia are reruns.
-
DR RLP you are the first TEAM JACOB person i've ever known! ;)
I also thought NEW MOON was much better than TWILIGHT (the movies). My 20something librarian had a different view point (since she had not read the books). But she did not care much for TWILIGHT but loved NEW MOON.
I'm guessing you hadn't read the books.
Not sure if this would make a difference as to whether a person is team edward vs team jacob but i suspect it might. I loved taylor lautner in the movie as jacob. I think he is much more suited to his role than robert pattinson is (IMO).
-
I forgot to mention, for you lower back sufferers, I have found sleeping with two pillows greatly reduced my chronic lower back pain. I angle the pillows on a slant, not one on top of the other.
I have been putting one pillow on a slant behind the other and i found it helped. I've also put a pillow under my knees and that seemed to help too.
I think my problem is different than DRs MattH and TCB. I am not in enormous pain. And it does not hurt at all when i walk or exercise. But it sometimes really hurts when i sit or lie down and i always feel it in those positions. But it hasn't gone away in a few days (like DR MattH said his probably would). I will try the ice and the heat.
-
I'm not sure if this was mentioned, but tonight's DAMAGES finale (which airs here on thurs) i believe is scheduled for 1 1/2 hours. Or at least it is for us on thursday.
-
I don't know if anyone else has seen this movie (sorry i can't remember). But i loved it. The BLIND SIDE with sandra bullock.

New ash is headed for Great Britain, not good news for my nephew who wants to return home to his family.

I'm confused. It is already out on dvd. Why would you expect a long wait?
-
I have another movie waiting at the library which i am not sure is my kind of movie: THE HURT LOCKER.
-
My library also got a bunch of other movies (although since i didn't suggest them i won't just get them).
I'm not sure which ones i should try for: LAW ABIDING CITIZEN, A SERIOUS MAN, THE OTHER MAN, THE MAN (men?) WHO STAREST AT GOATS, SURROGATES, EVERYBODY'S FINE, BROTHERS, and PUBLIC ENEMIES.
-
Another one i will be getting either tomorrow or soon is SHERLOCK HOLMES.

Your right. It must have recently been released because it hadn't been when I moved it up my queue. It says short wait. I guessed about the long wait.

Book is ordered, BK, along with a couple of other recordings. Spending the first paycheck before I get it.

And I'm just making arrangements for the little gift, which I'll tell you is a thirty-track CD of rare Kimmel songs.

I really liked A SERIOUS MAN and THE OTHER MAN.
LAW ABIDING CITIZEN is also pretty good, though I didn't care much for Jamie Foxx in it. The movie has some surprising plot twists.

BK, I got the pre-release annoncement this morning about the book (I will be ordering soon), but I still do not receive any announcements on new CDs; and they aren't going to my spam file either.

Hi all! Just popping in real quick. I've been on the phone with Home Again getting Toby signed up. Turns out he is paid for a year, Sheena needed updating.
The guy said he would email my password to me but I haven't see it yet so I'm going to call back.
I hope everyone is having a nice evening!
Toby is turning out to be a real joy. He is sooo cute!!! And Sheena just seems to love him. I think she is loving the idea of not being alone all day anymore.
-
Hi Ann! Long time, no see!
-
Hello to all you HHW folk. I know I have somewhat dropped from the fold these days but I hope you won't object to a quick hello. For those of you not on Facebook, Toby, Jed, and I are all doing splendidly. Toby is 19 months old and loves to sing, dance, and play the piano. He keeps me busy but very happy. Jed is still at the library and doing as well as usual.
I hope all of you people are well! I am happy to be able to see updates from many of you on Facebook, although Jose's posts usually just make me hungry.
-
Boo
Hi Ann. Share the wonderful photo of DS Toby sitting on the piano bench, reflected in the mirror.
-
Hi Danise! You have a
Toby too, I see!
-
Hi Danise and Ann!
I'm leaving work now to go to my condo's annual home owner's association meeting. If there's time after that, I'll go to rehearsal (I put tonight as a conflict, so I have an excused absence ;)). So, I gotta go!
Until later!
-
Hi Ann and Danise!
-
I'm afraid mine is the 4 legged type! I know you didn't hear the story about his name. I had no idea what I was going to name him when the guy at pound asked his name and "That's Toby" just popped out of my mouth!
Hi George! Bye George! So good to see? you! :)

Awww.

Sooo cute!!

Nineteen months, huh? DR Sandra was born when my first was nineteen months. Can you imagine that, Ann?
-
And, for good measure, with a book...his other great love is looking at books.
(http://i39.tinypic.com/2n6u5hh.jpg)
-
DR Laura, you were crazy or careless ;) Either way, thank goodness since you got DR/DD out of it. :D
-
Laura, I must tell you a story about the dinosaur you sent Toby when he was first born. He still loves it, and just recently began to figure out what noise went with it. It often stands on the floor of the playroom downstairs, and each time he sees it he goes over, crouches down so that he is nose to nose with it, and roars the most ferocious roar that a 19 month old can produce. Then he walks away, confident that he has again shown it who is boss.
-
Ann, the photo of DS Toby with the book is precious. The photo at the piano makes me happy. When I first saw it I showed it to Keith & he too loved it. :D I truly think you should enter it in a photo contest.

Aww. I'm glad Toby is enjoying the dinosaur. DR Sandra says he will really love it when he's about three.
-
Hello ladies! Ann, Jane, Laura & Danise!
Hi Jeff!
-
Hi DR Vixmom. What an evening, you, Danise & Ann all at the same time. :o
-
Nice to have DRs Danise and Ann with us again!
-
(((((VixMom!!!)))) (((((Ginny!!))))
Sorry about going away for that moment. I was on the phone with Home Again. I wanted to make sure my Toby's microchip was registered.
-
Ginny, you have changed ;)
-
Danise what kind of dog is your Toby?
-
I don't know how anyone could let this little guy get away from them and not shaking the trees and bushes to look for him. They must have known to look at pound for him.
-
DR Jane - and I've changed back. Didn't like how the new one looked.
-
He is a Boxer mix. Not sure what the "mix" part is but I know it's not a Pit. There was a guy at the vet's office that said he had a dog at home that looked very much like him and he was a Boxer Beagle mix. The vet said that was possible but hard to tell.
-
Aww, Toby sounds adorable!
-
There are pictures on Face Book. In fact, I just snapped a few just now and will be posting them ASAP.
-
Pictures are served!
-
DR Ginny-lol no it didn't. The photo may have been, don't know since I couldn't see it. I'm glad you changed back.

Re: TOD. First of all, any chili MUST NEVER HAVE BEANS!
I love my Cincinnati Chili. And I am very happy that I have a Gold Star close at hand near where I live. I can also buy various varieties of Cincinnati chili in cans at the grocery. What the unintiated really don't understand about Cincy chili is that it must sit atop something...a hot dog or spaghetti...and then must be topped with something...defintiely heaping mounds of shredded cheese...and, for me, onions. If you eat Cincy chili undressed by itself in a bowl, you are likely to be disappointed, even though it will retain its excellent, unusual taste. It is a Greek recipe.
I also like Texas chili, thick and meaty where the fork can stand up in the bowl. There was a place in Dallas, Texas where I ate after a show once that had the best chili ever. I do not remember its name and I suspect it no longer exist.
My wife actually makes an excellent turkey chili that requires Corona beer in it. I love it when she makes a big pot of it along with corn bread and it lasts for days, so I can dole it out whenever I want.
I like both Cincy and Texas chili... It was wonderful... I may have to request some of the canned Gold star stuff through the grocery store here. I did buy some seasonings at the airport.
-
Greetings one and all...
-
I'm very glad as well. I just knew that Sheena really seemed to like the Boxers at the dog park more then any other breed.
I didn't really want a pure bred because of all the medical problems I've heard about and that they don't live very long.
I'm very happy with a mix as long as there is no Pit.
-
I haven't checked Sherlock's Home Again in a long time-think I will do that.
-
Hi DakotaCelt.
-
TOD - I'm a Skyline 4-way bean (spaghetti, chili, beans, cheese) kind of gal, but really prefer my homemade chili. It's very tomatoey and a double recipe is just right for the crockpot.
I may have to try that combo with the seasonings I got...
I had spaghetti, chili, cheese....

I'm getting a kick out of the translations.

Montgomery InN ribs are wonderful ....
Graeters is great also!
-
I haven't checked Sherlock's Home Again in a long time-think I will do that.
I didn't know you have to renew every year. So all this time I though Sheena was covered. Yikes!
Hi DakotaCelt!
-
I'm not getting Home Again to open. Danise, have they changed the website from homeagain.com?
-
We were told it was a one time rate. I've never received a notice to renew.
-
Look at all the lost souls this evening. Welcome back, everyone!
I am loving Season Three of BONES! It's a realy styrong season. I just watched the one about Bones' father's trial for murder. I had no idea Ryan O'Neal would be found innocent; it was a wonderful episode, and so was the one before it, about the baby Andy and the depressed areas of West virginia. On to the next one, I guess.
-
I just may have to make some this weekend
-
DR elmore you keep reminding me how much I used to enjoy BONES & in comparison how disappointed I am with it now.
-
And it's very sad to say that there were just as many pure breeds at the pound as well as mutts, including Boxers. There were two around the time I found Toby but one hated women and the other had to be an "only" dog.
-
The picture Jane mentioned...
(http://i41.tinypic.com/15mbhxe.jpg)
Oh I LOVE this!!
What a great shot! Enjoy this time - somehow the Vixter is turning 17 inm 10 days - she was only 17 months a few minutes ago.....
-
((((((Elmore!)))))
-
Jane - I did work, and i am feeling better, thanks for asking. I was awfully tired, having only gotten about 4 hours of sleep, though. It was almost 3 before I was finally able to drift off, and I was up at 6. I have no idea what caused those cramps, but it was not fun!

I was able to get into Home Again by googleing it. I didn't get far since I can't remember the chip number. ::)

Am finishing up the first season of "1st Ladies Detective Agency." Jill Scott makes a great Mma Ramotswe, but it's Anika Noni Rose that steals the show.

Well, that's fairly easy--Toby the 2 legged is the cutest baby and Toby the 4 legged is the cutest puppy! :)

DR Elmore, you've convinced me. I'll have to get Bones from the library and check out all you've been talking about.
-
It is so wonderful; to see Danis and Ann here! We must see moreof your ladies Please!!!
I think I can say that I'm "Home Again". No pun intended.
Welll... ;)
-
The Vixter is going to be 17!? Really? My how time DOES fly! I remember the girl who loved her American Doll. I guess those days are long gone. Sigh.

I found it saved on the computer. Home Again shows "this pet is enrolled in a limited service". I have no idea what that means, will have to explore it farther.
How did you check Sheena's info is up to date?

TOD:
Would you believe that two dishes that I dislike are chili and barbecue?
Well, a man after my own taste buds. I don't care for either of them, either, but at least I'm living in LA, where I can get almost any sort of food.
-
JRAND - I forgot to say - I loved the Brain photos and the picture and caption from the newspaper
-
Feel better vibes for dear TCB amd Dan theMan
-
Thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to add 1st Ladies to my NetFlix queue.
-
There used to be an eatery in Old Town, Alexandria, VA that specialized in chili. You could order it on top of spaghetti, which seemed quite strange to me at the time. Hard Times Cafe! Yes, that was it. Jose probably knows it.
-
DR Ginny - So, when you caption that pic, do you also list the person's name in addition to the pattern/design? ;)
Why, of course, DR Jose! One of the others did this on our Facebook discussion thread:
Cathy (Sittin' in a Tree Angle Tote)
Megan (Raspberry Fizz Backsack)
Stacy (Bali Blue Hipster)
Benita (Very Berry Paisley Betsy)
Bailey (Bali Blue Wristlet)
Ginny (Slate Blooms On the Go)
Patty (Cupcakes Green Reversible Tote)
Angela (Cupcakes Pink Hipster)
Tracy (Sittin' in a Tree Emma)
I've removed the last names and her editorial comments, to protect the innocent.
Neat purses...

I am joining in with the pain issues tonight - although I brought mine on myself - I was wearing an old pair of shoes today - since I lost all that weight my shoe size actually is now 1/2 size smaller - so these shoes are a little too big - I was also wearing very thin socks so the shoes were quite loose - I was rushing around the office and fell out of one of my shoes, which I immediately tripped over and then fell flat on my face in the middle of the office - fortunately I was wearing trousers and there were no clients present - but it was immensely undignified and now I am very achy and I have a huge bruise on one hip

I was able to get into Home Again by googleing it. I didn't get far since I can't remember the chip number. ::)
Opps. And sign on and password. I couldn't remember any of them but I wrote them down now.
Well for the $16.99/year your dog has a $3000.00 heath insurance policy (only if they are lost and hurt), the Home Again people will send posters to every vet they have listed within a 25 mile radius, if your pet is found 500 miles or more they will pay $500.00 to get them home and there is more but you get the idea. I thought it was a good deal for the peace of mind.
I found it saved on the computer. Home Again shows "this pet is enrolled in a limited service". I have no idea what that means, will have to explore it farther.
How did you check Sheena's info is up to date?

Have any of our NYers any inside info on the newest La Cage Aux Folles?
Is it worth seeing?

The season for next year's tours has been announced:
Young Frankenstein
Hair
Shrek The Musical
9 to 5: The Musical
Fiddler On The Roof
Billy Elliot The Musical
Mamma Mia!
That sounds like a group of shows i would like to see.
Matt Ashford is one of the touring companies of Mamma Mia and they will be in Toronto fairly soon....

Well I hate to say it but the time has come for me to say Goodnight. Have to get ready for bed and work.
It was lovely to see everyone and I will be back!
Hugs and goodnight all!

Just saw your post as I was clicking off--I was on the phone with the guy because I couldn't sign into the service. He told me about the extras and I thought it sounded like a good plan--mostly the part about sending the photos/flyers to every vet/pound/group within 25 miles.

'Night all!!!

Vibes for all the people having pain!

Thanks for the tips re: sore backs.
DR Jeanne will the homeopathic arnica really help? It's a recurring lower back thing. I have a health food store like 5 minutes away.
Also DR Jane, i do have a heating pad although not one you can soak with water. I wonder if i should use it more. I feel like there is a spot on my left lower back that is constantly inflammed.
Jennifer, I have had success with both Arnica and Triflora gel, although I think the pellets (tiny pills) are more effective. Because your pain and stiffness is better with movement (ie, riding your bike), RHUS TOX may be a good choice. It's known as the rusty gate remedy.
In Chinese medicine, it would be said that you are suffering from stagnant chi, ie, stagnant energy. The Chinese are big believers in movement, especially gentle exercise, such as Tai Chi. Tai Chi might actually be a good choice for you. Yoga or Western-style back stretches, such as pelvic tilts, might also help.
I highly recommend Bob Anderson's book, which is simply titled, STRETCHING. It's a classic that many of us, including some top personal trainers, have used for a great many years. It's easy to understand and is hard to beat.

good night Danise! Sleep well and see you tomorrow!!

Good Evening!
And now I'm posting from my new MacBook. :)
Although, technically speaking, it's a "new" "old" MacBook: never used, but it's a "generation old". Or something like that. My brother just happened to have an extra one his office, so...

I'm caught up on today, but now can't recall the things I wanted to say along the way?

No icing for me Jane - I hate the cold and even though I have been told repeatedly that icing is good for muscle pain I am having none of it - if it cannot be cured by either a heating pad or a hot shower than it just must be borne!

So Jose you have an Ipad already or were you using someone else's? I rea a glowing report about it in Time - we still have the old compaq desktop here -
but as long as the hamster still runs in its little wheel and keeps the 11 ich screen a glowing I don't foresee an update coming....

The Vixter is going to be 17!? Really? My how time DOES fly! I remember the girl who loved her American Doll. I guess those days are long gone. Sigh.
All the best to Vixter!

Vixmom, I hope you add me as a friend on facebook...

I forgot the jumpdrive that had the pics...
I had a great time in cincy.. I heard some great papers, was able to network with other scholars, have some fun, great music and great food....

and Ginny is a wonderful person to visit and spend the day with...
Thanks Ginny! I had a great day!

I say that because icing really helps a bruise. I also hate icing. I had to practically live with ice packs for my shoulder. It doesn't have to be real cold. A soft re-freezable pack is more comfortable & a dishtowel wrapped around it helps, or put it over your clothing.

I don't have an iPad. I was just giving one a spin in the Apple Store.
...And after about 15 minutes, I could already tell that I really don't need nor want one right now. For me, it really is just like a larger iPhone/iTouch. It would basically just be an expensive piece of electronic equipment that I'd be afraid of damaging out in public. It really is quite a "Toy", but I just don't the use for one now.

DR Cillaliz, i was wondering since DWTS is on tonight, have you and your mom picked your favorites yet?
I'd say my first favorite is nicole and derek. And my second favorite is evan and anna. Even though i've never liked her she's growing on me and i find she works very well with him, so i'm liking them as a team even though i didn't think i would.
OMG!!!!! I agree with you :D

-
DR vixmom - OUCH! ~~~~~PAIN FREE VIBES TO YOU~~~~~
*And proper fitting shoes too! ;)
**I just overhauled my "shoe wardrobe", and I've noticed that my feet have settled into a slightly smaller size than I've been buying over the past couple of years. I guess all the walking I've been doing has been doing something. ;)
***And, WOW! What a difference it makes to wear properly fitting shoes after not wearting properly fitting shoes for a while.

I dontp really use my facebook account _ I really just got it so I could see my Canadian niece & nephew's pages -

I really have to start throwing things out - or better still donating them
although I have been gaining weight back - I have recovered all my powers of eating although taste is still not it was - so I better be careful at what I toss
I really need to start going back to the gym - I really need the conditioning -
-
also not eating at 5Guys Burgers twice a week might make a difference....

Ginny I really really hate having ice on me - I find the sensationof the ice more intolerable than the muscle pain - I only ice when there is the likely hood of swelling - like banging my forehead on something
fortunaltey today i did manage to get my hands down and protect my face from hitting the ground otherwsie I probably would have damaged my glasses too- but I did do a full body prat fall
it was probably very funny to watch - too bad we don't have survelliance cameras - I could have been the Next Big Thing on YouTube
-
Look at all the lost souls this evening. Welcome back, everyone!
I am loving Season Three of BONES! It's a realy styrong season. I just watched the one about Bones' father's trial for murder. I had no idea Ryan O'Neal would be found innocent; it was a wonderful episode, and so was the one before it, about the baby Andy and the depressed areas of West virginia. On to the next one, I guess.
Tell me this, DR ELmore. Did you jump in the episode where the man goes into his closet only to be attacked by Gormogon's apprentice? If you've gotten to the trial episode, it was before that. (I think it's the first episode on disc three.) That's the next one I have to watch, and it just scares the bejeezus out of me every time I watch it even though I know that moment is coming.
-
I assume the translation program many of you are using is the same one that is responsible for all the so-called English instructions when one buys something needing assembly.
-
Methinks I must rent BONES soon.
BTW, I LOVED THE 1ST LADIES DETECTIVE AGENCY. Any word on a second season?

When I went downstairs, I finished all of the bonus features on 'M.' There were about 90 minutes of bonus features (not counting the 93-minute English language version of the movie which I didn't spend time watching all the way through, just enough to ascertain the picture and sound quality, both very poor).
I really enjoyed a comparison discussion of all of the various ways the film has been presented down through the years in theaters and on home video. Quite fascinating and most informative.

We're getting all of those except FIDDLER and MAMMA MIA. NEXT TO NORMAL is in our list and MARY POPPINS in those other two places.
-
Hi :)
Book ordered :)
Night all :)

When I finished it, I watched another BONES episode, the one where the time capsule was taken from the ground and the body of a student from 1987 was inside. Good episode. I remembered who the killer was, but I remember when the episode first aired, I guessed the wrong person.
-
Then I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing of interest and nothing in the previews for tomorrow either. Sheesh!
-
And I ended my evening with tonight's exciting episode of '24.' Kiefer Sutherland and Cherry Jones had a fantastic face-off scene together that was terrific with all of the emotions flying around in the room. One of the best moments in the season.

No UPS deliveries today, so I'll have the day off tomorrow unless CRAZY HEART or some other disc arrives.

Yes... I rearranged the shuttle time to a bit later... stashed my stuff and me and two other gals walked to Graeters at the square...
Yes,.... I could not have Graeters Just ONCE... NO, No, NO... I had to have it three times... But darn it was good!

Vibes to one and all!!

Dakota - I agree! Any day spent with Ginny is by definition a great day!!
She is a truly beautiful person...
I may have to send her money if the grocery store does nto have the gold star seasonings here... That was good chili!

Look at all the baby pictures and dog pictures and pictures of MR BK....whew!
What a site.
Thanks to all who commented on the MR BK pic - hopefully it will turn up in print in the next couple of days....although it shows up on the INDY STAR website......they haven't contacted me for details either by email or phone, so I am not optimistic right now....although now I am thinking of that Shirley Temple song.
-
I am still intrigued by DR MBARNUM's film of the day - the Road to Oz....and Pumpkinhead and the Dorothy Neumann witch look-alike.
-
On secnod thought... It is probably wise I dont live in Cincy becuase I would not be able to say away from Graeters!
I did find a nice little coffee shop in the mall. It is called Tazz Mia

I must get to bed.

Good night Cilla!

I am glad to see so many fellow time-wasters.

Just realized how tired I am and that I have to set an alarm for tomorrow's doctor's appointment...'night!
-
I noticed that I had THE DESERT SONG on the DVR recorded last night from TCM-HD and I'll have CASTLE, DAMAGES, and NURSE JACKIE from tonight, so I have lots to watch tomorrow if I don't have any work to do.

Guess I'll head down now and go to bed.

Yes, the end of the episde is as good as any horror film. I jump, too!
What a great disc this last one has been! We had the baby episode, the trial of Bones' father, the wannabe singer played by Ace Young, who's currently in HAIR (the cliffhanger for the writer's strike) and the discovery of the Gormagon's apprentice, which was a heartbreaking episode; I cried like a baby. Everyone is so good in it, especially Tamara Taylor; her scene with Hodgins when she thinks he's the killer is really taut, and the scene after Bones and Booth ask her to leave Zak is really touching. The balance of grisly corpses, crime story, romance, and often outrageous humor, performed by a good ensemble ensemble, is just amazing.

And the drive back from Fairfax was very uneventful. Although, getting back onto 95 off of the Fairfax County Parkway was quite interesting due to a whole series of detours. Round and round and round and round. The whole process actually made me laugh once I finally got on the highway.

bk - Did you have your MoonPie (http://www.moonpie.com/) with an RC Cola? That's the classic combination.
*And if you happen to find yourself in Charleston, SC, you can head to the MoonPie General Store (http://www.moonpie.com/index.php?id=88). It opened a few weeks after I finished my gig down there last year. MoonPie is also on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/moonpie)

Well...
Goodnight.

I am up late, but by the looks of it, Jose is up late/early.
I have pumped out five very lengthy reviews of less than wonderful product in two days, so I believe I will take tomorrow off, review wise. Tomorrow is also the first performance of my senior choir without being under the aegis of the senior center. I am still completely stunned by this center's absolute stupidity. Including, most stupidly of all, putting it all in writing in emails and then asking me to lie about it.

Back from Irma La Douce - won't say much in the notes, but I wished it had been better. The highlight of the evening was that Clive Revill, the show's original star, was in attendance (he's a friend of Barry Pearl - they did Oliver together). Well, the real highlight of the evening was my winning prize at the silent auction - a basket containing three large containers of Jane Lanier's spectacular homemade caramels. Oh, boy!
-
So nice to see old friends returning.

Hi George! I heard about the show, and I think I'm going to be there!
Hoo and Ray! And bring the husband, too! ;D

A friend of mine told me the story of a time that he went to a barbecue picnic/get-together and the host was smoking a cigar while making a big vat of chili. My friend also noticed that the host/chili cooker was covertly flicking the his cigar ashes INTO THE CHILI! My friend was shocked to say the least! He quietly asked the host what he was doing and the guy said that that was his secret ingredient! My friend said that that was the best chili that he had ever had.
