Happy Danise Day!!!

Morning all.
That is all.

When I get to the office this morning I'll look in the mail basket before I go upstairs to see if my book has arrived. If it hasn't then it should probably get here by Monday morning.

Oatmeal and coffee

It's another nice day in Manhattan.
-
So long for now.
-
Thank you, Jose for the first post!
Thank you Sam and Ben for the Birthday wishes.
At least it's a better one then last year! I shudder when I think what I went though.
Now I'm home and I have both dogs at my feet. :) Nothing could be better.
See ya'll when I get home tonight!
-
Happy Happy Birthday, Danise!
-
No Book.
-
Happy Birhtday, DR DANISE.
-
Yes, MR BK I enjoyed the book even more than my review might indicate - I hope it sells MANY books, and as I wrote - anyone who orders the book might as well order the NUDIE dvd at the same time, because after reading the book, you are going to want to see the movie....LOL
-
Travel vibes for MR BK and Mr W. And great HHW gathering vibes for the group this evening.....I know it will be almost too much fun.
-
HAPPY NATAL DAY DR DANISE!
-
I haven't listened to the CD yet....I will do so this weekend. And maybe my VAIO will come home today.
Of course it is a workday.
-
Happy birthday, dear Danise!
-
TOD: Nothing....I was reading a book.
BUT - I now have MGM HD on my Comcast lineup....and a few other HD stations to explore.....
I didn't know that between the movies MGMHD shows infomercials and other commercials.....but if it gives me the service without an additional charge, that's okay.
-
I hear you, Jrand. In fact, they should probably order one of everything from Kritzerland, plus an extra copy of each for a loved one.

We were discussing Karen Valentine on ATC :)

Miss Valentine dealing with those pesky bus doors is at 1:26 in that clip.

I'm up, I've shaved, I will shortly shower, and then I shall wait for Mr. Wechter to arrive.

More travel vibes.
ROOM 222 is discussed in said book a few times.

Last night DR Vixmom wrote:
"We own a time share in Kississemme - "
Is this Kississemme in the Catskills? I only ask because that's the setting for most of the delightful musical TWO WEEKS WITH LOVE.
-
Once on the old Steve Allen syndicated show.....so many years ago, Miss Karen Valentine was a guest. She was most interesting. She told Steve that her family was not encouraging when she decided to go into show business.
She began as a contestant in the Miss Teen USA pageant, i think, and was Miss California....or at least Miss Whatever her home town was. Her talent was doing a hula dance to some rock and roll song. The producers of the Ed Sullivan Show saw her on the pageant, and even though she didn't win, asked her to do her hula dance on the show.
She said yes......and laughed.....and then Steve surprised her by showing the clip!!!
-
DR VIXMOM that was a lovely story about the MAKE A WISH dinner.
-
And now I am off to work.....I would rather be off to Olympia....but there you are.
-
Oh well....
-
Friday morning greetings! I'm getting ready to go in for this week's blood test and then on to Dayton for high tea with a former co-worker.
-
Happiest of birthdays to DR Danise!!!
-
I read about 2/3 of the book yesterday before my eyes gave out.
Really enjoying it. Will finish today.
-
BK,
Where did you get THE CAPTIVE CITY from?
Wouldn't mind having a copy of that one.
-
! ! ! ! ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DR DANISE ! ! ! ! !
-
Safe flight to Seattle. Wave to my family as you fly over.
-
Happy Birthday, Danise!

TOD:
I'm expecting a review copy of TRUE BLOOD, Season 2...but I'm not sure when it will arrive.
-
Book arrived at my home yesterday--it will be next on my commute-reading list.
But why is the guy who is sitting behind BK on the book cover missing a leg?
-
:D
-
MEdia Check:
iPod: Not the Missing Tunes CD--I forgot it this morning! Otherwise, Suzanne Vega's latest recording (which is pretty much just a reworking of her early stuff...)
Tivo: Um, nothing of note...
DVD: ...nothing new there, either...
-
Druxy, Captive City was on MGM-HD. I don't think it's ever been out on DVD.
-
Awaiting the arrival of Mr. Wechter and then we shall be on our way to Seattle, then Olympia.
-
I haven't been buying many new DVDs or CDs of late, mostly because I still don't know what the policy is regarding having packages delivered here at my new place of work. And everytime I see something in a store, I look at the price and I think. "Well, I can get this cheaper on Amazon." I haven't really seen much of anything that I want to but immediately. I still haven't bought the A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC revival recording or the OCR for AMERICAN IDIOT.
I'm also hesitant about the EVENING PRIMROSE DVD that, having been delayed from a May release to late June, was actually released last week with a price increase to $28.00. The page on Amazon shows no image of the DVD package and even though it's being touted as remastered, I'm leery of it turning out to be a shoddy product.

Good morning!
It's a pleasantly cool morning, and we're going to have three succeeding days of cool down as well, so I'm happy about that. I don't walk on Fridays, but it would have been a nice morning for a walk. Should be much cooler tomorrow morning and Sunday.
-
Happy Birthday to DR Danise!
-
I'll start work today on the second season of FLASHPOINT. inspecting the package this morning, I was surprised to find there are only nine (9) episodes in this second season set! I doubt I will get all nine done today, but I'll get a good many done, and I'm looking forward to them because this is a show that mixes action with pathos about as well as any I have ever seen. And I adore the lead actors Enrico Colantoni and Hugh Dillon.

This morning I was reinstalling one of my Blu-ray players, and I put in the DVD of DOCTOR DOLITTLE (1967 musical version) to check the upconversion and sound.
It struck me that even though this was a fairly early DVD release, this DVD still holds up beautifully and is a simply gorgeous transfer. I don't know if it's the Todd-AO photography or what, but I can't WAIT for this to one day be available in high definition.
I also got sucked into the movie, too. Was just going to watch Newley's "My Friend the Doctor" and just sat there watching "The Vegeterian," "Talk to the Animals," and "At the Crossroads" along with the dialogue scenes between them. The film may be too long and sprawl a bit, but I think I find it more accomplished and entertaining now than I did when it was first released.
-
Now I'm going to head downstairs since I've finished with my morning surf (goes faster when one skips his morning workout on Fridays) and tidy up a few things before cleaning up to go out on my usual Friday errands.
WBBL.
-
Good morning, all! The jerk above me didn't come home last night - if he did he was unusually quiet - and I slept very late. I have some work here to do, so I will stay home today amd accomplish what I can.
Yesterday was a good McGlinnventory day and almost everything went well. I left a large pot of vegetable beef soup sitting out last night because I forgot to put iit into the refrigerator after it had cooled down, so I'm wondering if it's still good, or if I should pitch it.

I am currently listening to bonus cds of rare BK tracks.
I have been reading the book every spare moment. On page 295
-
I did not receive BK's book yesterday...but then I ordered later then most, so it may come at a later date. My hope is that it does not arrive today and sit on my front steps all day, and all night!
I did however, receive James Best's autobiography in the mail yesterday. I opened the package thinking it was BK's book and kept waiting to the CD to drop out...but nada...then I realized it was the wrong package!
-
DR Druxy, I recorded CAPTIVE CITY on my DVR. If you would like a DVDr of it just send me your address.

TOD:
DVD:
From Netflix I have the Jeff Richards western MANY RIVERS TO CROSS, the documentary BOLLYWOOD BOUND, and the documentary JACK WRANGLER: ANATOMY OF AN ICON.
CD:
Whatever Bollywood soundtracks I grab to listen to on my way to Olympia.
DVR:
CAPTIVE CITY and some HIGHWAY PATROL episodes.

Happy Birthday, Danise!
-
I of course will not repeat my oft-told anecdote about my high school literary magazine class writing an episode of ROOM 222, and then having a private audience with Ms. Valentine and Ms. Strangis.
Oh, wait, I guess I just did. ;)
-
Why do my anecdotes always clear out this place? :)
-
Is this because I'm a lesbian?
-
Well, about an hour ago, I had almost hit "purchase" on a 2:15 flight from newark to Seattle, which would have gotten to Seattle at 5:30 and was a very reasonable price, even an aisle seat. Felt that something mad like a quick whirlwind trip would help relieve the tax work issues that have (after the killing work of tax season) arisen from the firm's merger - which I'll not write about here EVER, because there may be "issues" - to say the least. :)
Just went back to the Continental site, really planning to do it, leave in 5 minutes, but now my aisle seat is gone - and not for anything will I fly in a middle seat from Newark to Seattle.
It felt good that I could have done it. probably much better that I didn't
-
JMK - Yes, it's because you're only attracted to women and so many of us really don't like that we don't stand a chance with you. :) Of course, I've never met you, but I'm assuming that's how all the gay men here who have met you feel.
-
Package from Kritzerland is here. I'll wait for Skip to help open it because my nerve is still s little pinched.
Hmm,. another reason it's good that I didn't take that whirlwind trip.
-
A Very Happy Birthday to DR Danise!! ;D

TOD:
BD: I've been catching up on reviews, so just watched ACIS AND GALATEA and TALES OF BEATRIX POTTER for work. For "fun," I started NINE, which is fine if not great so far. Last night I watched the first hour or so of THE PATRIOT, which I found unexpectedly involving.
-
Caught Promises Promises last night. Poorly sung. Poorly danced. Well-acted, especially Katie Finneran. Turkey Lurkey a low point (!)
-
JMK - You can afford a new house, them standards of attractiveness aren't so low. :) :)
-
And I'd be interested in learning why Jonathan Tunick's orchestrations have garnered a Tony nomination. They sound, to my ears, exactly like his originals. If he's achieved this with fewer instruments, that's impressive - but award-worthy?
-
Hi Noel, good to see you.
-
Oh dear.
Well there will be a hot time in the Northwest tonight!

Have a wonderful birthday DR Danise!!

There was indeed much appreciation online for Marc Bruni's Fanny.
People enjoyed his Encores show as well.
Noel - Seriously, a wonderful show. Is he still working with you?
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANISE!!!!!
-
More travel vibes.
ROOM 222 is discussed in said book a few times.
Room 222 used to be my favorite show. I think I could still play the theme on the piano...well not right now, I don't have a piano in my office
-
There was indeed much appreciation for Marc Bruni's Encores show, Fanny.
Is he still working with you?
Yes. And, on a totally different project, with my Dear Wife as well.
Fanny, I thought, was the best of all the Encores shows I've seen. It illuminated what my parents loved in 1954 - a tempestuously romantic musical, with high stakes situations in every scene. And most of the audience had never seen it, unlike, say, Bells Are Ringing, so it was just the sort of thing Encores ought to be doing. I take far too much pride in suggesting Marc consider it.
-
A VERY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY (THAT'S FOUR HAPPYS) BIRTHDAY.
Today's hommage to Gertrude Stein courtesy of Michael. ;)

Someday, they'll applaud my Fanny.

JMK - You can afford a new house, them standards of attractiveness aren't so low. :) :)
Oh, Fred, you stubborn, splendid, adorable fool. We bought a new house--who said anything about being able to afford it? ;D
-
DR MBARNUM - I wish I was going to be with you all tonight...it will be a most joyous celebration....and...well...someone had to say it....
The Time is Nigh!
DR GEORGE thanks for adding the new review....most interesting.

MY BOOK ARRIVED!!!! Woo and Hoo, Hip and Hip and Hooray. It's a rainy day so I went home on the lunch hour so I could get it out of the mailbox before it got wet and I succeeded. Can't wait to read it this weekend

Break a leg George!! You'll have a great audience tonight. Wish I could be there
-
Noel - How did you do that? I had no idea you could manipulate someone's quote like that.
:)
-
Break a leg, George
-
I will be serious about it:
FANNY at Encores was really, in all respects, the essence of what anyone reasonable would ever have wanted a company like Encores to do: present a show we surely would never have seen get a full-scale commercial Broadway revival in our lifetimes, and do it in such an entertaining fashion.
-
SPARTACUS on BD just arrived via FedEx. See you in about 4 hours. ;)
-
I left BK's autobiography and it's special edition CD at home, so I don't have the CD to listen to. :(
But Kristina (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0039RHT5K/ref=oss_product) has finally arrived from England!! ;D Even with shipping, it was less expensive to get it from Amazon.co.uk than to get it from Amazon.com.

BK's tentacles have reached the Atlantic shore - the book and CD have arrived!

I'm here in Olympia - flight was quick and fun, and hotel is adequate for an evening. I had to change rooms because the Internet was not working in the other room. But here, it's working fine.
-
Pesky tentacles.
-
MBarnum, all books went out the same day. So, you should have gotten it by now UNLESS you ordered it with Earth vs. the Spider - if you did, it won't be going out until Monday, when that arrives.
-
David and I are going for a walk now.

The dustjacket is most attractive as is the entire book. It is a nice size and thickness.

Before I left for my Friday errands, I had time to watch THE BIG GAY SKETCH SHOW. A really funny segment on Tyra Banks' Model show. And Jonny McGovern doing a lounge singer who ada-libs insulting lyrics to paying guests was also funny. The rest, not so much.
-
Pesky tentacles.
I saw Pesky Tentacles in SUGAR BABIES.
-
I also watched "I've Never Seen Anything Like It" from DOCTOR DOLITTTLE since that was where I was in the film.
-
When I got in, I watched last night's THE MENTALIST. A complete surprise for me as to the murderer's identity. I thought I had it figured out, but I was wrong. Excellent episode.
-
@ @ @ @ @ 2ND SMASH WEEK SHOW VIBES FOR DR GEORGE @ @ @ @ @
-
Then I began on today's work project: FLASHPOINT, Season Two. The first disc had four episodes, and I watched all of them. Of them, I had seen three when the show was broadcast on CBS, but I had never seen one of them, so that was special fun.
Two of them had me in tears by the end of the show, one of the things I love about how gut-wrenching the emotions are sometimes with this series, especially when the criminals aren't really bad people but get pushed into impossible situations.
-
I put in the second disc which has the five remaining episodes and three bonus featurettes. Together those bonuses are going to run about 13 minutes, so I know I can get them watched tonight, and we'll see how many other episodes I can get under my belt. If I have a chance of finishing this tonight, I'll record GHOST WHISPERER and just watch MEDIUM.
-
I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. I knew the fellas weren't going to be on, but they were in the previews for next week, so that's at least something to look forward to.
-
BK - a question: When someone orders more than one thing, do you always wait for the second thing to be in stock before you send the first thing, so that you ship only once?
If so, aren't you concerned that once this happens to someone once, this could make that person not order more than one thing at a time - it almost sounds like their "reward" for being a "better" customer and ordering item A and item B together instead of just item A can sometimes be waiting almost a week longer than everyone else for item A? Or is my logic wrong somewhere?
It's never happened to me, but I'd never order two things together if it meant the first thing would be held until the second thing got there a week later. Do they save anything by ordering two things?
-
I'm going to hop off-line and get some writing done, and then I'll head down to continue working on FLASHPOINT and watch some prime time TV.

Question for BK:
Does Joanie, after all these years, still love Chachi?
-
The time is (almost) nigh.
I remember how excited I was on the Day BK Came to Indiana.....it is very fun. Of course many of those in the party this evening have met MR BK previously....and have even seen THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X......
AND you get to hang out with Mr David Wechter as well.....
I hope the paparrazi are not too intrusive. And everyone of course think of some wonderful questions to ask at the talk back!
-
Back from high tea at Basically British with my friend Sue. The food was lovely as was the Caramel Cream Rooibos tea that I had with it. Sue and I had a lot of conversation to catch up on and I was glad to hear about her recent trips to Portland, OR, and NYC.

Ooooo, I'd love to be in Olympia tonight - have fun, everybody!

Thank you, Dear Elmore. How I wish we could go to another opera. I always remember that time with great fondness. And I often use your "what fresh Hell is this" quote-- especially with projects at work--even if I just say it to myself.
It always makes me laugh and it makes people wonder what I'm laughing at. :)

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you (that's FIVE) Thank you's Dear Michael S. I think it's good to be a wonderful year.
-
FJL, most people who order multiple items know that when one of those items is a preorder then everything ships when the preorder comes in.
-
And since I spy him on the board right now, a very special "Thank you" to our very Dear BK. With out you, I would have never met all these wonderful and very, dear friends, one and all. :-*
-
Happy Birthday, Danise!
Thank you, Dear JMK!

The Internet is so screwy here - I came back to find it not working - I did a network diagnostic and changed two settings and it was fine. Then a cleaning lady unplugged the system accidentally, so that screwed that up - when it came back up I had to do the network diagnostic again - now it's back and I sure hope I don't have this problem later. I just went to post this and it went down again, then up. It's really annoying.
-
A Very Happy Birthday to DR Danise!! ;D
Thank you, Dear George. I wish you much leg breakage, rave reviews, and many happy memories on (or should that be "in"?) your Brain. I just wish I could be there.
-
I spied DR Danise & before I could say hello she is gone.
-
David was hungry so we went to a nearby sandwich shop (5th Avenue Sandwich or something like that). I had the single best chicken salad sandwich I've ever eaten, on freshly made white bread. Out of this world.
-
Just notice that the movie (Name escapes me at the moment) that BK filmed a few years ago (a sci fi musical) and had been list as still in production for several years has now disappeared from IMDB. I take that the film is never going to be released not even directly to video. I guess they never did get enough money to complete it.
Consider it a lost film of BK. The one that could have garnered him an Oscar nomination from the clips that I saw. :-)
-
Danise is back. :) Hi Danise. While I've been reading the post I'm commenting less to avoid typing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANISE!!
(http://www.dreamstime.com/dog-happy-birthday-thumb3277402.jpg)
Thank you, Dear Jane for all the lovely dog/birthday pictures!
Sheena and Toby had their first real dog fight the other night. I knew it would happen because both of them are Alpha's. I think Sheena lost because now things have calmed back down and I notice a BIG difference in the way Sheena acts towards Toby. Age and size can't beat youth and agility--at least sometimes.
So I now have:
Sheena--Queen of the Dog Park and
Toby the Terrible. He rules with an iron paw! :)
-
Thanks, BK. It never occurred to me, but I see that's standard business practice.
Since I'm the type who places an order on the web and then immediately goes to sit by the intercom waiting for UPS to buzz up, that's good to know that multiple-item ordering is not consistent with my personality type. :)
I'm exaggerating based on an old Jrand joke, but it happens with a place like Barnes and Noble more often than you'd expect - I've placed an order at 11 a.m. and the intercom rang at 1:30 with my book order.
-
Danise, you don't sound too upset so I'm guessing the fight was more noise than bite. :)
-
Have a wonderful birthday DR Danise!!

Thank you for the lovely card, Dear MBarnum! I never asked or have seen it posted, where do you get all your cards? You know one time I was in a GoodWill and saw a whole album filled with old cards and letters. Some one had taken a good deal of care with a lifetime of memories. I imagine that person must have pasted away and her treasures just went to Goodwill. I thought that was sad and was tempted to buy it but my Mom said "What would you do with that?".
I didn't get it but I've often thought about it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANISE!!!!!
Thank you, Dear Cilla! Saw your post on Facebook and I've very glad that it's Friday too!
-
"Age and size can't beat youth and agility--at least sometimes."
Where is TCB when we need a comment from him?
-
FJL - it's only if they preorder a title. If someone places a multiple order of released stuff it goes out the same day.
-
Just notice that the movie (Name escapes me at the moment) that BK filmed a few years ago (a sci fi musical) and had been list as still in production for several years has now disappeared from IMDB. I take that the film is never going to be released not even directly to video. I guess they never did get enough money to complete it.
Consider it a lost film of BK. The one that could have garnered him an Oscar nomination from the clips that I saw. :-)
Just remember the name
Ghastly Love of Johnny X
and here is what they say about it Oi Vey
Mar 30 10
JOHNNY X filming commences in June-July 2010!
This means we will have our 35mm black-and-white wide-screen motion picture ready for world-wide distribution in early 2011!
The world was created quicker than this movie!
3 years or is it 4 years in the making
-
Happy Birthday, Danise.
Thank you, Dear Ron Pulliam!
-
Shayne - it looked like a terrible movie and the fact that he'd go in and shoot without having all financing in place, well, no one should ever do it.
-
So, dinner tonight will be a salad of some sort - or an appetizer.
-
BK arrived in my mailbox in the form of a book and a cd! Good reading tonight!
-
A HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY
(AND A VERY WELCOME HOME)
TO OUR DR DANISE!
Thank you, Dear TCB! I do hope you are feeling well.
-
Happy Birthday, Danise!
Thank you, Dear Druxy!
-
Happy Birthday, Danise! And wishes for a terrific year!
Thank you, DR Kerry!
-
Ooooo, I'd love to be in Olympia tonight - have fun, everybody!
Thanks, Ginny!!
-
A Very Happy Birthday to DR Danise!! ;D
Thank you, Dear George. I wish you much leg breakage, rave reviews, and many happy memories on (or should that be "in"?) your Brain. I just wish I could be there.
Thank you, Danise!!

Happy Birthday to DR Danise!

I'm now leaving work and must run a couple of errands before meeting BK and David Wechter and TCB and MBarnum and (eventually) Ann, here in Olympia!! Pictures will be taken and eventually posted.
Until later! ;D

And, es[ecoally for CillaLiz:
A good example of creative reuse:
A long established church, that rebuilt for more room outside of town, has been converted into a Performing Arts Center, a small mall of speciality shops, and a few apartments

now willyou all please keep the noise down? I am trying to read!
-
Nice pictures, Der Brucer. Looks like you had a nice walk today.
-
George, have the best show yet tonight!
-
DR der Brucer, thank you for the charming spring walk around your town.
-
I am now having some of that soup I left out last night. I am assuming it will not kill me.
-
DR Laura how about some more kitten & mother photos?
-
Well, I caught up with Damn Danise -
Happy Birthday!

Thank you, Dear "Uncle" der Brucer! Lovely photos.
-
Nice pictures, Der Brucer. Looks like you had a nice walk today.
Actually, that walk was Tuesday - it's much more crowed today now that Mother's Day weekend is upon us.
Today's exercise consisted a potting a bunch of tomato plants and then walking to the store to meet Woody.

Happiest of Birthdays to our darling dear DANISE!!!!!!!!
Thank you, very Dear Vixmom!
Was it only yesterday we went to the zoo with a little girl?
-
Thank you for that link Elmore!!
Vicky, Bill & I enjoyed that show so much and what bonus to discover you in the audience - and to be introduced to Mr. Tom Jones, hisself!!!
-
Happiest of Birthdays to our darling dear DANISE!!!!!!!!
Thank you, very Dear Vixmom!
Was it only yesterday we went to the zoo with a little girl?
That was such a fun day! I think of it often - and that sweet lady who took us on the private tour!!
-
Danise, you don't sound too upset so I'm guessing the fight was more noise than bite. :)
It was a bit of a knock down drag out but no skin was broken/no blood. One I had enough, I stood up and did a bit of yelling and Toby got his little butt spanked for snapping not only at Sheena but me as well. He thought he was on a roll but I showed him who is the real leader of the pack. It never fails to amaze me how a few swats (not very hard) on the Attitude Adjustment Area (AKA the butt) can be used on both children and dogs to correct many problems. :)
Once that was over, everything settled down and now all is well.

Yes, she was VERY nice. I wrote the zoo and told them about her. I don't know if I ever told you that I did that. I got a very nice email back (not from her but the director) who thanked me for taking the time to write and let them know. I'm sure he passed my words of praise along to her.

Snapping isn't good. Sherlock does not get upset when I'm upset with him. I find it rather annoying.
-
Happy Birthday, DR Danise! Nice to meet you!
-
Break a leg, DR George!
-
My book arrived today! I'm listening to the CD right now. Since I'm working tomorrow and going to dinner afterwards, I don't think I'll start reading till Sunday--looking forward to it!
-
DR der Brucer, thank you for the charming spring walk around your town.
Now I need to get up the "daring" to take the dogs with me - they haven't learned not to tug on a leash when they get excited, but I think my chest muscles can probably take the strain by now.

I know what you mean. Sherlock has pulled my arm too hard a few times. It doesn't bother me as much now. He doesn't even have to pull hard. If he decides to walk towards something I get dragged along. I remember when I thought it would be fun to have a dog that weighs more than I do. Well, it is cool to be able to say it :)
Which dog is the easiest to walk?
-
Nice photos DR derBRUCER.....and what lovely link, DR ELMORE.
-
I am on the G4, so I have NO pictures to post....even if I could figure it out. Oh well.
-

No it isn't and will NOT be allowed in this house. After Toby had his Adjustment, I haven't seen it happen again. I'm sure he will try at least once or twice more (he is still a puppy) but no more then that. He just has to learn his place in this pack. You may be over Sheena but me top dog.
I find it kinda funny since Sheena lorded over poor Bear. This is whole new experience for her.

Heavy heavy heavy rain on the way home, and now nothing.

Happy Birthday, DR Danise! Nice to meet you!
Very nice to meet you as well, DR KevinH! Thank you for the Birthday wishes!

Wow, I have no idea what's going to happen later, Internet-wise, so if the notes don't go up tonight, they won't go up until I return to LA tomorrow. I'm on, then suddenly it doesn't work. This time, when I did the diagnostic it told me I needed a password even though the hotel uses no password system for wireless. Then suddenly it works again. Too erratic, and while I'm sure the front desk is annoyed by my repeated calls, they are being very snippy - the latest was that they'd be happy to check me out and refund in total. If I knew where there was another hotel, I'd do it - but the nearest one is a mile away and that I'm not doing. However, they will get no recommendation from me. He said if it's trouble later that if I come to the lobby it should work there, since the lobby is true wireless (they brought a router to my room). So, if that's true, I guess I can do notes from down there.

THE FANTASTICKS at the Shelterhouse, May 15-June 20 (http://www.cincyplay.com/shows/Details.aspx?performanceNumber=5416)
Want to come to Ohio to see it?

If you're in the show, maybe we can have an HHW gathering to see you?

That was truly silly, but it was a post. :)
-
Surely it must be nearly time to eat in Olympia.
-
Is that husband on MEDIUM acting unappreciative about his wife's talent again?
Doesn't he seem to make the same journey on each episode? :)
-
Jrand, is this as opposed to time to eat out Olym---
Oops, almost forgot - this is a family site!
-
Good Morning! Good Afternoon! Good Evening!
I'm up, I'm up... And, well... I've been up for a while now. ;) -Thankfully(?), right before I drifted off to sleep last night, I remembered that I had set up a Genius Bar appointment at the Apple Store for earlier today, this morning at 10:30.
Well...
-
I made it down to the Apple Store on time, and while I was waiting to be called up to the Bar, I got a text from my landlord informing me that "they" would be working on the electrical system for the whole building today. Alas, part of that work would include turning off the power to the building for 20-30 minutes at a time throughout the day. Well... Since it was such a nice day outside, I decided to go ahead and stay "mobile" for the afternoon.
And about 15 miles later...
-
If you're in the show, maybe we can have an HHW gathering to see you?
Oh, no, DR FJL, I'm not in this production. It's at the same venue where DR Elmore saw the show when he was 18. When he directed it for our community theater, I was The Mute (perfect casting for my vocal talent!).
-
OH! My MacBook went "into the shop" at 11:05. While I was taking the crosstown bus, they called to tell me that the repair was finished and that I could pick it up. -That was at 11:25!!!! -I was just having the "top plate" replaced, which apparently is a "Level 1" repair, very easy.
I picked it up around 7:45. -I did walk to the Apple Store, but then I hopped on a bus and a subway to get home. Oh, my feet! My poor, poor feet!
-
And now...
Time to catch up. And reset all the clocks in the apartment. (Ugh.)
Laters...
-
I posted a for rent ad on CL and a few seconds later a wonderful family was here looking at the place. If they say "yes," we'll cancel our sale listing and just rent until this fershluggunah market improves.
-
You will let them know they're renting from a Lesbian, won't you? :)
-
Ok, this MEDIUM was a great episode.
Guessed who early on but had no idea why until just when the writers wanted me to.
-
You will let them know they're renting from a Lesbian, won't you? :)
The guy was another (Jewish) lesbian, I'm quite positive. ;)
-
We Jewish lesbians have oy vey-dar.
-
DARTH VEY-DAR - wasn't he in Star (of David) Wars?
-
I couldn't believe it, but I managed to finish FLASHPOINT - Season 2 in ONE DAY! Of course, there were no commentaries, the bonus featurettes were very brief, and some of the episodes barely lasted 40 minutes.
A very enjoyable series.
-

Not at all. In fact, he was barely in the episode this week.
-
Ok, this MEDIUM was a great episode.
Guessed who early on but had no idea why until just when the writers wanted me to.
I agree. Guessing the identity of the killer was very easy, and I figured out why very early, too. Even knowing this WAY ahead of time didn't keep the episode from thoroughly holding my attention, and what a great showcase for the young actress playing Ariel. She really took the ball and scored a touchdown. Bravo, Sofia!
-
Since I stayed with FLASHPOINT until I finished it, I didn't have time to watch tonight's GHOST WHISPERER. I'll catch it at some point this weekend.
-
Page Nine Dance!!!
-
Landord vibes to JMK
-
I did have time to watch last night's 30 ROCK, and what a tragic waste of Cheyenne Jackson. His scenes were seconds long. Argh! Then the untalented Tracy Morgan gets a lion's share of the show.
-

DARTH VEY-DAR - wasn't he in Star (of David) Wars?

-
15 Minutes Please....15 minutes until curtain.
-
I Hope everyone is settled in his seat for the Olympia BRAINEX.
Yes, DR FJL...a family site.....but what a family.
-
Since I got FLASHPOINT finished tonight, that means I will be able to take tomorrow off. And it's a good thing since I'm invited to a cookout late tomorrow afternoon, so I can stay a little longer than I had planned since I won't have anything to get back to for review purposes.

I'm heading downstairs now and going to bed.

TOD: I may sleep all weekend, but if not, I will be reading BK's book and listening to BK's CD. But only if I'm conscious.
-
I look forward to the brain report

It's a good thing I didn't go to Olympia. I';m nervous enough about how it's going without even being there.
-
I am now having some of that soup I left out last night. I am assuming it will not kill me.
DR elmore - You and your soup should be fine. -As long as you bring it back to a boil for a few minutes.
-
It is a nice size and thickness.
That's what she said.
-
bk - It "simply" sounds like your hotel has a very weak signal. You should not have to run the Network Diagnostics each time the signal hiccups.* Just turn off your Airport for a few seconds, then turn it back on. That should do it.
*If you did end up changing something in your internet/network preferences, you may have an issue when trying to reconnect to you home network/wireless.

I also really liked the following feature stories from Playbill.com:

*Although, they are both the same story. ???

HI.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE.
-
Dear Ginny.
I forgot to tell you that I really enjoyed the Fantasticks. Glad I saw it with my daughter. It was a small production by a volunteer group celebrating their 20th year together. Some of the voices were very good and part of the regular church choir. All money went to charity.
-
Night all.
Think I'll watch Iron Man again.

Back and had a great time - you can read about it in the notes, which are posted. I have to get some shut-eye now.
