Well, you've read the notes, the notes said what, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home. Say what?
-
And the word of the day is: BUSTICATE!
-
On my TV right now is "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List." Earlier (late last night), on my DVR was "White Collar," which was a fun episode. Also on my DVR is the latest "Warehouse 13"...although I haven't watched or even recorded the first couple of episodes. I'll have to watch those on-line.

I presume you saw most of last season.

And now, I must hie myself to bed...today's going to be a long day. This evening is the Seattle Storm game, but this afternoon, I'm going to a memorial for a co-worker who passed away last week. She was the executive secretary and had been in and out from work over the last half a year or so for medical reasons. About a month ago, she was out again...but then without any notice, her position was announced. We found out a little later that she wouldn't be coming back and then she died.
So that's going to be my day today. :-\
-
I am so sorry George about the passing of your co worker
-
I was so tired last night that I missed saying stuf I meant to so.... belated birthday wishes to Edi's dad!

Congratulations BK on all these exciting projects!

We will also eat food from Artie's.

And then I will come back to Chelsea.

Today is a work day.
oh well.

TOD:
CD - Promises Promises Disc 2
DVD - Children of the Damned

Bruce--
"Hannie Caulder" I think I saw that at the drive-in when it first came out. I think it is a Western (of sorts). Well, a Western in an early 70's-Raquel-Welch-sort-of-way.

Good morning, all! I slept late: 8:00 am. I had a ton of emails to sort through, several pertaining to the Indianapolis Symphony concert of the Callaway Sisters' "Sibling Revelry" concert.
I want to run to the NYPL around 11, get some work accomplished there, and then run a few errands concerning DR Ben's visit this evening. I've got two different musical arrangements of THE BEGGAR'S OPERA on DVD for my guest to decide on, as well as a couple of other DVDs we might consider, including several BBC productions.
Last night's dreams were very strange: the first was terrifying and it woke me up around 1:30; the second I cannot remember, but it ended when I awoke around 4am; the third was about a summer outdoor performance of the musical TITANIC (which I loathed) at the Delacorte. Mr Ron Raines was playing Mr Strauss, Ron's wife Dona and my goddaughter were in the audience, along with a son who doesn't exist, and their apartment appeared to be directly across the street from the Delacorte. I remember as well Dona helping me pack for a trip.
TOD:
DVD: three Netflix items, whatever DR Ben and I watch
CD: On A Clear Day (OBC), Promises Promises, Liz Callaway, Kimmel Rare Tracks, Johann Strauss
VCR: cheap porn

Friday morning greetings! We turned off the AC and opened our windows last night and it was great for sleeping! I'm getting ready for a doctor's appointment (routine check) in about an hour.
Richard and I have an empty nest this weekend and we're going to go on a date later to see TOY STORY 3 and out to dinner. Just hope we can find a theatre showing TS3 not in 3-D.
-
I watched the President on THE VIEW.
-
I did not hear about the Ellen thing till this morning.
Wow. I am actually surprised. That really sucks for IDOL losing two judges for this season.
Although I will say that personally I did not think that Ellen was a good fit for the show. I would rather listen to someone in the business.
-
I miss watching Kathy Griffin's MY LIFE ON THE D LIST. For some reason the last 2 seasons have not been shown here. :(
-
DR Jane, since I am on my last book and waiting for the 5 other books i am in line for, I am going to the library to take out HIDE. I think I will reserve ALONE too. And I suggested LIVE TO TELL which i think came out this week.
-
Normally I would not read books in a series out of order. But I can tell from book 3 (THE NEIGHBOR) that this is not a series where the story continues.
-
There is another book at my library that shows as available. So I'm going to try to get it. It's called HUSH HUSH. I don't really know anything about it. Except that I've seen it recommended in many places.
-
TOD:
In my video player: The last 3 episodes of TRUE BLOOD.

I just read that Jennifer Lopez has signed on to be Ellen's replacement as the new AMERICAN IDOL judge. This could be interesting.

Hey everybody. 3 shows down, 2 to go, and they both go into tech week next week. One is a production of 13 which I'm playing in the pit for. I'll try and keep a smile on my face.
Still feeling fine, but other parts of my lower body say otherwise. I've emailed my primary care person again so we can try and figure out what is going on. I have no flu symptoms, etc. I'm hoping to be able to get in and see him today.
As for media check... something on the iPod in the car. Although I did listen to Elaine Paige's new concert the other day, and it was quite lovely. I might check out the new musical CHiPs at some point. It's distributed by CD Baby.
That's all...

A tarantella!

I'm still watching the complete series of PRIME SUSPECT w/Helen Mirren.
They are very long episodes (most are 2-parts, 105 minutes each), but they're excellent.

DR Matthew I was hoping you would feel better today....VIBES!!!

DR's Vixmom & Sam, Sherlock say thank you & he had a very nice birthday.
-
Where the FRELL have the put Groups this week on Facebook? Why do they keep changing stuff? I read the help page, and it said to use the icon at the bottom left of the page. Guess what? There IS no icon at the bottom left of the page. Grrrrrr. . .
-
Well, the mystery of the missing errant and truant envelope has been solved - it just came back to the person who sent it - who seems to have forgotten to put postage on it. He says he's already re-mailed it, which I wish he wouldn't have because he should have sent it overnight. It could take another five days to get here now - and this week's check isn't even here yet. No bill paying this week for Kritzerland.
-
DR George, that is so sad about your co-worker. Even thought she had been ill for some time, I am sure it is still a shock.
-
Because there was SO much interest in JR's pic and my quiz, I shall now provide answers:
Picture: Lois Kibbee, soap opera actress and sometime writer
Christine Jorgensen, Joan Bennett, and Frances Farmer: The first two had autobiographies/biographies written or ghosted by Lois, and Lois was in the process of ghosting Frances' autobiography when Frances died in August 1970
Major and the Minor: Lois' father, actor Milton Kibbee (brother of Guy Kibbee), played a role in the film
I also just noticed this morning that the cast of FRANCES includes one Ola Kauffman playing a mental patient. Type casting, I'm sure.
-
I am happy to report that my nephew Daniel is leaving the hospital in Portland and heading back home to Medford. He will have to continue with chemo for full year. But I know he will be VERY happy to be back in his own home.
-
Thank you for revealing the connection, DR JMK. I had been on pins and needles.
-
and those hurt.
-
And to that I say - get me off this damn page.
-
Good news about Daniel.
VIBES THE CHEMO IS WORKING!!!

DVR:
I know I recorded some ancient films off of TCM, but have forgotten what they were.
DVD:
Big Lots got in another swell pallet of movies for cheep, so I have some westerns to watch such as THE CIMMARON KID (Audie Murphy/Beverly Tyler) and THE LAWLESS BREED (Rock Hudson/Race Gentry)
I also have some Rin Tin Tin type movies and a documentary on Peter Berlin from Netflix to watch. Sounds like I will be in front of the TV all weekend!

My doctor checked all my meds and
shot me gave me a shot in my shoulder for the bursitis. If it doesn't feel better in a few days, I have an order for an x-ray and 4 weeks of physical therapy.
-
Our house painter is also a photographer. I have a disc here with some great shots of a rattle snake I'm sure DR Laura would enjoy. Since I know others wouldn't I'll just share his photo of cute little fawns.

BURSITIS VIBES FOR DR GINNY!!

Thanks, DR Jane - we could form a club.

My new favorite transcribed rant from Mel Gibson:
February 18, 22:27pm
MG: Arghhh. Arghhhhhh. Arghhhhh. Argh. Argh. I called.
-
BURSITIS VIBES FOR DR GINNY!!
Ditto!
-
Those deer are beautiful!
-
Mel is also evidently recording a new duet with Josh Groban entitled You F*** Me Up. :)
-
Thanks, DR Jane - we could form a club.
Thankfully I haven't had bursitis in a long, long time. I had a shot that made it worst because I had improved enough the quack doctor shouldn't have given it to me. I then began icing it and that helped tremendously.

You got my curious so i went to amazon.com. 200 out of 300 people gave it 4 or 5 stars. But i guess all the bad reviews are at the front. I gather it's a love it or hate kind of book.
If it's still there when i go today i'll take it. If i don't like it I can always stop reading it.

That's good news, MBarnum.

Thank you for the photo of the fawns, Jane.

I wish I could stop reading my current book THE ENCHANTRESS OF FLORENCE by Salman Rushdie. I have briefly stopped to give myself a break. I am so tortured & distracted while reading I'll never be able to discuss the book intelligently at my next book group.
Most the reviews rave about the beautiful prose of this historical, mystical novel. With such a combination I would expect to love it, not hate it. After working through a ton of glowing reviews & finally found a small grouping of bad ones. The following review best expresses my feelings.
"The best thing about Salman Rushdie's tiresome and confusing new novel The Enchantress of Florence is its lovely gold and orange cover. At the bookstore, admire the cover, then move on. (...) Set in both Asia and Italy, the book is neither historical fiction nor effective fantasy. Instead, it's an ornately written drone-fest designed to show off Rushdie's undeniable stylistic brilliance." - Deirdre Donahue, USA Today
-
Thank you for the photo of the fawns, Jane.
You are welcome. Would you like me to email you the rattlesnake photos? I found them exceptional.

DR Laura how are he kittens today?

How interesting. I have a very, very, very minor connection in that I knew Kathy Kibbee (I haven't seen her since 1988) and visited her in London. She's the granddaughter of Guy Kibbee. She married an English gentleman and moved over the pond. She's been living there ever since.

Is there some rule that if you hate a book that you have to finish it? I think you've read enough. Surely enough to be able to talk about it at book club. Why torture yourself? It's your time. Why should you have to complete it if you really don't like it? I wouldn't.
-
If there is such a rule, Jennifer, it is a stupid rule. Life is too short to have to read books you hate.
Unless you are in school, of course. But then, you would just get the Cliff's Notes version and read that.
-
Yes, Jane, I would like the rattlesnake picture.
The kittens are doing fine. They will just keep getting better, now that they have meds.

I have never not finished a book for a discussion group & take pride in that. We discuss the book in its entirety & I find it rude when others haven't read the entire book and expect the same consideration when I'm leading a discussion. Unfortunately, IMHO, too often others haven't finished the book & I never tell them how I feel about that.
I've decided I will read this book during the day & something fun at night. Usually I don't allow more than a week to read the book we will be discussing. Boy, am I glad I started this one early.
-

Personally I agree except when an obligation to others has been made.
LOL. While reading last night I kept thinking I want Cliff Notes.

Now to see if I can send an email off the disk.
Good news about the kittens.
-
If I hated the book and didn't finish it, I would probably skip the discussion, since I hated the book so much I wouldn't even want to listen to the discussion.
-
But then, this is why I do not belong to any discussion groups.

Oh I get what you are saying. I think that people should be respectful and read the books assigned. But if a person truly hates the book and reads most of it, I would think that was fine. If I were you I would contact the person who is leading the discussion. At least that way you show you really care about the club.
Btw, I just stopped off at the library. And guess which book was being displayed up front in the "to read" section. I'll give you one guess ... :)
-
I think I would like a book club. But only to discuss books I like. But I don't know that I want someone else telling me what to read. So I guess that is why I'm not part of a book club!

I am waiting to hear from the Indianapolis Symphony folk about this "Sibling Revelry" cabaret to pops concert conversion. I've had a trip to NYPL at Lincoln Center, a stop at a new bakery on 72nd Street, a stop at the new location for the bakery Crumbs, a trip to the drug store, Verizon to pay my bill, and the market. I'm ready for DR Ben's visit.
I also got a nice email from Ron Raines' wife Dona about my dream last night. She said she had always hoped she'd had second child, preferably a brother for Charlotte. I don't know if she ever mentioned that to me and I'd forgotten or if my subconscious wished Charlotte a brother, although I'm sure Dona is thinking about brothers and sisters at the moment since she's currently directing a production of the opera HANSEL AND GRETEL.

Here's today's AS THE WORLD TURNS idiocy: Lily says she's going to Marseilles to check on this fraudulent cosmetics company, on which her manipulative mother conned her into losing her money, and within 15 minutes she's in France Europe! Of course, the town she lives in is a short walk from New York and Chicago so I guess any travel flukes involving the laws of geography and physics aren't applicable. No wonder these moronic soaps are folding.

I've been browsing the book section of the new Costco magazine. Two books are of interest. Has anyone read THE LANGUAGE OF TREES by Ruby or WHILE I'M FALLING by Moriarty?

They are staining right outside where I'm sitting. I need to go to another part of the house & take Sherlock with me before we get sick.

Everything is shipped, and helper has taken a lot of boxes and labels and invoices home with her - so we'll each be doing half of this humungous UK Promises order.

Mr. Geissman will be here shortly to hang pictures.
-
I tend to think "spare" when hanging pictures, and therefore there's usually one picture per wall and when you've got a lot of stuff sitting on the floor wishing it could be up on the wall where people could see it, then how the wall space is used is key - and Grant is brilliant at it.

Listening to the new seven-disc release of Spartacus. Thus far, a mixed bag, but I'm only on CD 1, which is all the existing stereo tracks (or all we're being told are existing - some of us think otherwise). The sound is the mixed part - I'm not fond of their mastering guy, who is very average, in my opinion (IMO, in Internet lingo) - it could sound much better with a few tweaks here and there. The story on these particular stereo tracks is that Spartacus was originally going to be two LPs - but then at the last minute they issued a one LP release. The other stereo tracks were from those leftover tracks. The question is did anyone actually go to Universal and do the detective work to see if the original magnetic tracks were there somewhere.
-
All that said, it is a grand score.

Cason put this up on Facebook:
My grandmother, Margaret Louise Mikeska Cason, "Gram", passed away this morning...but thanks to her name and her big brown eyes, she lives on in me
I'm guessing this is DR Miss Karen's mother :(

Condolences, hugs & vibes of comfort to DR Miss Karen & DR Cason!

DR Jane, YELLOWSTONE KELLY is a movie, and it has a great cast...not just Clint Walker, but the lovely Andra Martin and the handsome Rhodes Reason. Oh, and Ed Kookie Byrnes.
-
Thanks. I looked it up on Netflix and they don't have it. That was as far as I got. They don't have the other movie mentioned either.

Mr. Geissman is quite lagging - he should be here shortly.

But then, this is why I do not belong to any discussion groups.
Everyone. . .please discuss.

Laura I sent you four emails. I'm sorry I had to downsize them for email & could only do one at a time. Do you also want the fawns?

DR Jane, you won't find any of the Warner Bros. archve movies at Netflix. These are MOD (made on demand) dvds, which means they are only made when and as they are ordered. Warner's is doing this with their (what are considered) lesser titles that would never otherwise get any type of dvd release.

Oh I get what you are saying. I think that people should be respectful and read the books assigned. But if a person truly hates the book and reads most of it, I would think that was fine. If I were you I would contact the person who is leading the discussion. At least that way you show you really care about the club.
Btw, I just stopped off at the library. And guess which book was being displayed up front in the "to read" section. I'll give you one guess ... :)
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. ;) Please don't say it was The Enchantress of Florence
Yep it was sitting right out in front for anyone to grab! I refrained. ;)

I've been browsing the book section of the new Costco magazine. Two books are of interest. Has anyone read THE LANGUAGE OF TREES by Ruby or WHILE I'M FALLING by Moriarty?
I haven't read those. But I love the Costco book section!
-
I mean in the magazine.
Oh and I also like looking at the Costco book section at the actual store. Although unfortunately for us they only have one big aisle for English books. The other side of the crate is for French books.

Condolenses to DRs Cason and Miss Karen!

Chelsea Clinton is having a gluten-free, vegan wedding cake :P
Tofu-icing >:(
Even Sherlock would take a pass.

I admire the vegan cake, not sure I would like it ;D I would like to try it.

Mama Vixmom may be scrawny and sick, but she just chased Rex down the hallway. He was terrified. Even Joshie looked awed.
What a good mother protecting her babies.

I have never not finished a book for a discussion group & take pride in that. We discuss the book in its entirety & I find it rude when others haven't read the entire book and expect the same consideration when I'm leading a discussion. Unfortunately, IMHO, too often others haven't finished the book & I never tell them how I feel about that.

I do too except when the books are stacked taller than I am.

Now you tell me, after I commented. :) I also like the book section in the magazine.

DR Jane, you won't find any of the Warner Bros. archive movies at Netflix. These are MOD (made on demand) dvds, which means they are only made when and as they are ordered. Warner's is doing this with their (what are considered) lesser titles that would never otherwise get any type of dvd release.
Thank you for explaining it.
-
I think I'm finally done for the day, although I will do a little more work later in the evening.

This afternoon I parked at the vet's office & took Sherlock for a nice 40 minute walk before his appointment. While the incision continues to seep it is healing well enough. We have to return again on Monday.

Let me get this straight, the only person on the list who saw the President on The View is a Canadian? :D
-
I was in a book club when I lived at the lake. We weren't big on the discussion portion of the evening. We ended up having food and drink, but we read a lot of good books, some I never would have chosen myself
-
it is very humid out and boy could I tell it when I came home from work. I'm supposed to go to an outdoor party tonight, but I'm not going. It's just too hard for me to breathe when it's this humid.
-
we had nearly 3 inches of rain again yesterday. Everything is starting to flood around here. Glad I live on a hill

We try to stay on track. It isn't always easy.

I felt a lot better today, but an still in recovery mode. Tomorrow I want to go to our new Mid American Air Museum grand opening. It starts at 9:00 AM. I'd like to meet Captain Al Haynes. He's the pilot that crash landed flight 232 at the Sioux City Airport. They also have a B1 Bomber there. I'm curious to see one up close. I'm going to go early. then I have to go to the sales at the clothing stores to get a few suits that will fit me during my trial later this month
-
DR Cilla vibes you get over your breathing problems!
-
And I may get a new outfit to wear to the receptions during my trip to Toronto ...that's coming up very soon!
-
Thanks Jane. I'm really pretty good in the air conditioning. It's VERY humid out tonight...I mean VERY humid...when the weatherman says muggy beyond being soupy out
-
We are back from our Friday date - seeing TOY STORY 3, Skyline Chili for dinner, and grocery shopping. The movie was very good and we had an almost private showing. The only other people in the theatre were a little girl and her grandma. Guess everybody was across the street at King's Island.
-
I need a new outfit - I haven't bought any clothes, save for my five dollar black t-shirts, in over a year.

Paul picked me up this noon and we went to the new Indian resturant in the area. It was really good! It wasn't too humid at noon. I didn't have any problems breathing while riding in his air conditioner-less car. After work the humidity level had skyrocketed and it was hard to breathe. As soon as I'd been in the house awhile I'm fine again.

If you were closer I'd invite you to go with me tomorrow...everything is on sale in all the stores around here tomorrow

CAT!
Yes we are getting a cat.
Photos will follow of course, if said cat is not hiding when I get home tomorrow evening.
I have not consulted Abby Normal the parakeet about her feelings on a feline addition to the homestead.
-
:D VIBES YOU FIND THE PERFECT MATCH!!!
-
I loved YELLOWSTONE KELLY when I saw it as a kid - there was not enough Edd Byrnes in it for me....but it was a most entertaining western. It's probably my favorite Clint Walker movie.....right up there with NIGHT OF THE GRIZZLY.
-
How about that! You're getting a cat!!!
-
A cat :o :D
-
Thanks DR JANE - my mother is doing the choosing.....there are several candidates on the website, but of course those kitties may already be gone.....
So - fingers crossed ....
-
DR JRand do you have a particular cat in mind?
-
You'll know which one is the right one. He or she will choose you (your mother)
-
How about that! You're getting a cat!!!
LOL.....one at work and one at home.
No waiting.
I love MOST dogs and I love MOST cats - so I am sure I will be pleased with whatever is around when I get home.
-
You'll know which one is the right one. He or she will choose you (your mother)
Exactly what I told her! LOL......
-
You just answered my question :) You might not find what you are looking for on the first visit. I hope you can spend time finding out if the cat/kitten is affectionate.
FINGERS CROSSED!
-
Thanks! I am pretty sure that our kitty is spending its last night at the Humane Society tonight.

-
That's great news, JRand. Too bad you don't live near me. I have a plethora from which to choose.
I am hoping to post photos and names soon, but some eyes are a little weepy, so they wouldn't photograph well.

DR Ben just left my apartment and I send with him my affection and thanks for making this Friday evening such a good one. we watched all of the Jonathan Miller-BBC production of THE BEGGAR'S OPERA with Roger Daltrey and my friend Rosemary Ashe and bits of the Benjamin Britten version from a BBC broadcast around 1964. And if any ears burned in the past couple of hours, well, we dished everyone on HHW to death.
And now to bed!

The movies I recorded off of TCM this week have turned out to be quite good and quite interesting.
First I watched ADVENTURES OF JANE ARDEN (1939), which is based on a comic strip which I am unfamiliar with. Jane Arden is a newspaper reporter, and in the film she gets involved with jewel smugglers. I enjoyed it very much.
The film starred and actress named Rosella Towne, who I don't believe I had ever seen before. I liked her, and evidently she is still alive, somewhere.
-
The film I am watching now might be of great interest to our soon to be cat owner, DR Jrand.
The film is WHEN WERE YOU BORN? (1938) It stars Anna May Wong as a girl who knows plenty about astrology. When a man is murdered she helps the police catch the killer.
Lots of Virgo in Uranus shenanigans, and it all seems to be very detailed, Astrological-wise. I am curious as to how accurate it all is.
JRand, if you are interested in seeing this one, just let me know. It might be quite an intersting film to play on a TV monitor at World of Wisdom.
-
And I can't wait to see photos of the new kitty cat!

Finished with my viewing and now listening to the theme and variations of the Spartacus set. The producer of this set has his name all over this booklet - over and over and over and over and yet he produced less than half its tracks, the other half being existing jazz recordings of the love theme, including Bill Evans' classic version from Conversations with Myself - he acts like he's known about this track forever - I don't believe he was ever aware of it until I made him aware of it many years ago.

I also had a wacky dream Friday morn that made me late for work. I should have known that there was something wrong when 1) I was offered to write for this action adventure series by a friend of the family who was better know for his music and comedy specials over these years and his work with Shari Lewis on her last series on PBS, 2) I was offered $2,500 to write an episode which is way below the WAG minimum. 3) The chase scene took place in Venice Beach, CA and South Beach, FL 4) The bad guy was an 80 year old woman who just wanted to take her dog to the dog park so that it could pee. 5) The car was stopped by dropping a line with a hook and an anchor onto the fro.nt of the car. As I was "watching it" I knew I was dreaming and wanted to see the outcome but I woke up to go to the WC and discovered I overslept.

I think I will rewatch Some Like Hot
