Well, you've read the notes, the notes were very Saturday and a little fascinating, and now it is time for you to post until the fascinating cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: DEGAGE!
-
Good morning. That is all. (Plagiarism ;) )
-
Good morning, all.
-
That's quite all right Thom.
Hope you're feeling OK sitting at the computer.

Got to make a red velvet cake today for a friend's 60th birthday. When Mom made this cake in the days when Red Dye No. 2 was all the rage, she put a creamy filling in between the layers and topped it with a seven-minute frosting that was so named because you had to stand there for seven minutes with a hand mixer over a double boiler before it would set up.
I'm following her recipe, but I have added coconut to the filling and will make cream cheese frosting instead. Not because I don't want to stand there for seven minutes but because the cream cheese frosting is, surprisingly, less sweet.
-
Yumm, sounds great John.
Anthony was out on Long Island last week. He returned on Friday after having gone to Stop and Shop. While there he bought a frozen Red Velvet cake (frozen so it would last the train ride). After dinner on Friday night we each had a decadent slice.
-
Oatmeal, banana, cinnamon and walnuts (and a cup of coffee).
-
Good Morning!!

Deb/Vix, I enjoyed La Cage though I do think the original was better. I guess I was impressed that Kelsey Grammer could actually pull it off. He was much better than I thought he would be. He has since retreated from the idea that after 6 months he would switch roles and play Albin. In my humble opinion that would have been a train wreck! He and Douglas Hodge are scheduled to leave the show at the same time (I can't remember the exact date). I think at that point the show will probably close up shop. Unfortunately, I don't think it can survive without a star in at least one of the roles.

And the word of the day is: DEGAGE!
And The Song Of The Day Is: I DON'T CARE

I've been watching the 2nd Season of SONS OF ANARCHY on DVD.
If you're not familiar with the series, it might best be described as "Hamlet Meets The Hell's Angels".
Actually, it's an excellent show, great writing, direction and acting.
My problem with the DVD set is that it contains NO RECAPS of the first season or previous episodes.
So, since the First Season was released a year ago, you sit there trying to remember everybody's relationship to each other, so that you can understand why so-and-so said this or did that to such-and-such.
Sometimes it's difficult, particularly when they refer back to some event that took place early in Season One and you can't recall what that event was.
Would it be that difficult (or expensive) for the studios (Fox in this case, but other studios do it, too.) to include the same recaps on the DVD that proceed the episodes when they air on TV?
I think not.
>:(
See, like BK, I can rant, too.
::)
But, his rants are funnier.
;D
-
Cake!

Surgery vibes for DR THOM.....unless I got the names mixed up.

Since I was a away Saturday.....I will post this today.

Valentine's Day.....whew! Another movie you couldn't pay me to see.....well maybe for a million dollars.....it joins the ranks of:
SECRETS OF THE YA YA SISTERHOOD &
THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS
-
What a lovely shade of blue....

-
My only real argument with the set is the closet barely visible in the left corner....it is a bedroom bi-fold door instead of a hinged door, which I thought would be more appropriate for the house.....BUT I am merely an actor, not an architect or SET designer.
-
Oh, and no crown molding or woodwork on the top of the set so you can see the top edge of the flats...I HATE THAT!!!
As in this uncropped version of the picture above. :P
-
DR Druxy, FOX didn't put the "Peviously On. . ." on any of the season sets for X FILES, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER or ANGEL. . .I don't think they're gonna start doing it now. . . :(
-
AND they have never released THE HIGH POWERED RIFLE....Fox is clearly falling down on the job.
-
DR MBARNUM those lamps look like space ships in Roger Corman's movies.
-
The Mystery Game.....who is this?
IF you recognize the photo from the source.....don't guess.....this is for DR's for whom this photo is NEW! ;D
Remember if you just saw the photo where I saw it - let someone else guess! :D
-
FORGIVE THE SHOUTING :) - HEAR YE, HEAR YE
FIRST NOTICE: PLEASE SAVE THE DATE SEPTEMBER 24 OF COURSE FOR BK'S BOOK SIGNING, BUT ALSO WE'LL HAVE A GET-TOGETHER AT JOE ALLEN'S STARTING AT 8:00 THAT NIGHT.
PLEASE TRY TO GET THERE AT 8:00 EVEN IF WORK SOMEHOW KEEPS YOU FROM THE ACTUAL BOOK SIGNING.
R.S.V.P. TO ME BY PRIVATE MESSAGE (PLEASE DON'T ONLY RSVP HERE ON THE BOARD, PLEASE SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE, TOO.)
-
If only I could, DR FJL......I am sure it will an evening of hijinks and HI-larity.
-
Good morning, all! I slept very late: 9:50 am, so I guess my body needed it. i am now bathed and dressed and ready for a quiet day at home. I've got a piano-vocal arrangement of a Herbert manuscript to do for Ron Raines to record, and some fixes to do to one of the two vocal arrangements I did yesterday. Following that, I'll take a walk around the neighborhood, which is very very quiet today, come back, read a bit and watch more THRILLER episodes. Last night I watched and wept through the 2nd act of SOUTH PACIFIC and the first three THRILLER episodes, none of which were very good.
DR Thom, I'm also confused; are you recuperating or still waiting for the surgery? I thought it had happened. At any rate, it's good to see you, and I hope you are okay. I'm sending you vibes against all potential perils!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
I'll be there for both the signing and the Joe Allen get together.
Larry, Thom is waiting for his surgery. I think it's in about a week.
-
That's great that you'll be there, Ben!
-
The details of the Lonergan case are about halfway down the page at this link...although the entire story is most interesting.

No guesses yet on the mystery photo.

Is it your high school graduation picture? ;)

No DRtd, it is not I.

http://mrsastor.com/2008/05/count-and-countess-edward-zichy-by.html
Given the sensationalism of the Lonergan case, I'm surprised there hasn't been a new book with all the salacious details. All that exists is a book form the 1970s, A CHAIR FOR WAYNE LONERGAN, and a horrible roman a clef by Gordon Merrick, one of Moss Hart's amours from the 1940s.
-
I've just cooked my least successful omelette; it came out as glorified scrambled eggas with cheddar and ham. Tasty, but a complete mess.
-
It's a fascinating Sunday morning.
-
I just learned that my friend Nick Spangler, winner with his sister of THE AMAZING RACE two(??) years ago, has just married. I'm very happy for him, although my beloved goddaughter Charlotte may be devastated. 8)
-
She's had a crush on Nick since he played Matt in THE FANTASTICKS.
-
I know the answer to the mystery photo!! But I shall say no more.
-
Last night I watched OSS 117: LOST IN RIO...It was hilarious, even funnier then the first OSS 117 film.
-
I want the new OSS 117 - but can't find it with English subtitles!
-
Oh, and no crown molding or woodwork on the top of the set so you can see the top edge of the flats...I HATE THAT!!!
As in this uncropped version of the picture above. :P
I would probably spend the entire first act, staring at the crooked pictures on the wall.
-
LOL they have since been straightened and taped.
-
I know the answer to the mystery photo!! But I shall say no more.
If Mr. Barnum knows the answer, I have no hope of even guessing.
-
You may be surprised DR TCB.
-
I have to go to a bored....er....board meeting.
If anyone guesses correctly, and someone knows it to be so.....please confirm.
-
Good Morning! Good Afternoon!
I'm up, I'm up... And Grrrrrrrrrr...
-
I'll be back. I need to run out to put out some imaginary fires, as well as check in on a friend who apparently had a major allergic reaction to something he ate last night while we were out at dinner.
Laters...

Oatmeal, banana, cinnamon and walnuts (and a cup of coffee).
Following your fine example:
Oatmeal (cinnamon/pecan), brown sugar, sliced banana; Earl Grey tea

I'm taking an arranging break; I've finished the vocal arrangements and now I'm working on Ron Raines' number, "Cuban," which is the peculiar title of the manuscript, probably because it's a Habanera, the tango named after Havana. It's an unpublished Herber manuscript, not in his hand, and I wonder if it's something assembled posthumously. The tune and the lyrics are great but the accompaniment is simple chords, not at all like Herbert.
-
The Mystery Game.....who is this?
IF you recognize the photo from the source.....don't guess.....this is for DR's for whom this photo is NEW! ;D

While Keith was chasing turkeys out of our yard he discovered signs a bear had been in it a few days ago. He thinks the bear climbed a tree then dropped down over the fence. The big question is, how did the bear get out‽

Sunday afternoon greetings! We are back from Lima and Richard is taking a nap. I used to drive most of the way home while he napped in the car, but today I couldn't stay awake myself.
Oh, see this nice new page I brought from NW Ohio?
-
I thought Raymond Burr, as well.
-
I'm glad you are both safely home.

Sherlock with his friend Casey.

I do believe I shall go take a drive in the motor car.

Hello, everyone.
Thanks to all of you who sent condolences last night. I appreciate them.
To answer Jane's (I think) question: he was a new friend, but a friend just the same.
-
SUCCESSFUL SURGERY VIBEs TO DR THOM! (In advance in case there are any Mercury retrogrades about to mess up transit.)
May it go very smoothly.
-
Although I envy Jane her scenic hiking trails, I'm quite happy not to have to deal with wild turkeys or errant bears!

Yes, and making friends with new neighbors can be a rare treat. Again, my condolences.

DR Jane, I am still in the process of getting ready for my move. Each weekend I pack a little bit more and take another load of stuff to the Humane Society Thrift Store.

ETA for my move is the 19th, but we shall see.

Back from a drive and some Taco Bell - I've been having a Taco Bell craving for the last few months and it was time to satisfy it, which I did. It's the first Taco Bell I've had in over a year. The good news is that what I eat there, the crunchy tacos, are extremely calorie friendly at 175 per.

I'll jog when it cools off a little later.

Now, get me off this damn page.

You'd think it was a Sunday on a holiday weekend.

Fast.

I just did my 30-minute walk in the basement. Added a series of stretches at the beginning and did the hand-weight routine from cardiac rehab at the end. Trying to finish the audiobook KABUL BEAUTY SCHOOL before it self-destructs from my iTunes at midnight - at least I think that's what happens with downloadables.

You are putting me to shame. I have become rather lax about doing my shoulder exercises. I am working it more on a daily basis which I'm not really sure is a good thing.

Happiest of birthdays to DR FJL's father!
-
I am getting really nervous about tomorrow's broadcast. You would think I have to perform tomorrow instead of just watching.
-
Somebody sent me a PM and asked why the MTV2 schedule shows some of the episodes have two different titles. I guess when they started doing HIGH SCHOOL STORIES, they didn't think that any of the stories would hold up for the entire thirty minutes, so they combined a couple of stories into each show.
-
Thanks DR MBARNUM - I look forward to OSS!!
-
No the Mystery Picture is NOT Raymond Burr.
It is the first professional headshot of:

Our own DR DRUXY....as published in his recent book!

Have any of our East Coast members seen THE SCOTTSBURO BOYS?
-
Relax DR TCB.....it's already in the can.
I know, I know, but tell me nerves.
-
No the Mystery Picture is NOT Raymond Burr.
It is the first professional headshot of:
Actually I was going to guess Troy Donahue.
-
No wonder Mr Sal Mineo was upset to find out that DR DRUXY was contemplating marriage instead coming over the discuss.....the business.
-
To learn more, you will have to buy the book.
-
DR TCB - I think DR FJL and DR BEN saw The Scottsboro Boys.....and DR JOSE may have viewed it as well.
-
I am going to watch some episodes of THE MARCH OF TIME on TCM this evening.
-
Happybirthday to FJL's daddy!
-
Time to get busy!
-
Don't just sit there, Mr. Barnum, we have some posting to do!
-
Is everyone out of town for the weekend?
-
We need a topic! Anyone?
-
What is your favorite Disney film of all time?
-
Hmmm, good questio, TCB. Let me think about that for a moment.
-
Beauty & the BeAST
-
TCB you are very adept at entertaining yourself ;)
-
but my favorite disney song is Colors of the Wind
-
In the meantime, surgery vibes for DR Thom!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Good answer, Debby. I think that is also my favorite.
-
and what is YOUR favorite disney film TCB?
-
TCB you are very adept at entertaining yourself ;)
That is probably true. That is why I don't mind living alone with just Nicky.
-
If Pixar films count for this topic, then I would also have to say UP and WALL-E.
-
Gee, I must have scared MBarnum away.
-
well if Pixar films are included my favorite song is When she loved me === which stillmakes me cry
-
Jane. What is your favorite Disney film?
-
I was browsing the list of Disney movies. I have a number of favorites to chose from. Going with just one, I think it is
"101 Dalmatians."

-
Toy Story 2
I should have figurd that out. I only saw the first TOY STORY. I thought it was cute, but not cute enough to see 2 or 3.
-
I thought most people would say MARY POPPINS was their favorite Disney film.
-
oh you should definitely see 2 and 3
3 made me cry too ,,
but then I have a child about to fly the nest
-
I thought most people would say MARY POPPINS was their favorite Disney film.
I lked that as a child but it lost its charm for me when I go tolder - however I have found that th ecartoons all seem to have held up over time
-
for sheer beauty of the film probably Pinnochio would be my pick
-
the scene showing Gepettos workshop is a work of art

Wasn't there two versions of 101?
-
when she was 4 she fell in love with Bambi and would watch it over and over - for a while there she was calling me "Mother",( instead of Mama ) with exactly the same inflection that Bambi used
-
Vixmom, have you both seen the original with Charles Laughton?
-
My favorite Disney film is BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, for 2 reasons:
1) He woos her by giving her his library
2) We went to see it with one of our college-age exchange students from Japan (Mayumi) and when the lights came up, she had tears streaming down her cheeks. No language barrier there!

Vixmom, have you both seen the original with Charles Laughton?
never = actually I have avoided ever watching or reading any version of the story -- I kNOW the story and it was all so sad that I nevr wanted to become emotionally involved with it -- but it seems I am no longer alowed to avoid it
I assuem Disneys version will have a more upbeat ending
-
I need to put clean sheets on the bed, but first I need to figure out what to do about the mattress cover. We have this nice thick soft one. After washing & drying it I noticed, after putting it back on the bed, it has become somewhat lumpy :(
I have washed this plenty of times over the last few years we have had it & this never happened. It is a special, somewhat pricey, item & don't want to replace. While pricey it was a lot less expensive then a new mattress.

Don't know where I heard that, DR TCB, and I've only tried it once on a baby quilt.
-
My favorite Disney film is Mary Poppins and it was the first movie I ever saw as a child. The movie theater was called the Westmount even though it wasn't in the city of Westmount. The name was changed to the Claremont because people got it mixed up with the Westmount Square Theater. They both no longer exist.

I had a Bollywood movie to start watching before BIG BROTHER starts. I am now back as I needed to look up one of the Indian actors on the internets.

I saw Mary poppins at the Westbury Drive In Theatre - that nolonger exists either

Now back to SUHAAG RAAT (1968) a romantic melodrama wherein after the first 15 minutes India is attacked by a "neighboring country." 98 % of the cast of the first half of the film is obliterated and the hero and heroine get separated, and are left thinking the other to be dead
There are some beautiful songs!

Good evening!! I got home about 4:00 and have been very busy ever since
-
From yesterday:
Sammy Williams & First Apartment
I would have thought he would have done "Musical Comedy"
-
i amfalling asleep again 'good n9ghyt

DR Jane - have you tried throwing some tennis balls in the dryer with your mattress cover? Noisy, but it's supposed to keep quilted items from getting lumpy.
No. I never needed to before. Thanks for the suggestion for future use. It may be too late now, I'll find out tonight.

I got an incredible deal on some great set of hand thrown pottery dishes from a friend of my mother. I absolutely love them all 56 pieces! So, I had to wash them all (diswasher and microwave safe) pack up and move my other dishes and put them away. I tried to post a picture from the website, but I couldn't get it to work. I'll take a photo later, but the best part is the colors work so well with my kitchen and add a great blue and green that I think would look great in some small tiles as a backsplash. I haven't seen anything I like until now. I'm really psyched. I'm going to go to the home stores tomorrow and see if I can find a sample of something with the colors.

A clean tennis shoe works too.

It's so nice to be home...

Goodnight, all!

My parents are here, and we just had a great dinner in honor of my Dad's birthday.
A Very Happy [Early] Birthday to FJL's Father!! ;D
-
Good Evening!
Well, my day started out on a sort of off-note, but it seems to have finished with a chorus of giggles. :)
-
Hi, DR Thom!
*Guess I have some scrolling-back to do. ;)
-
Happy Birthday, to the DF of DR FJL!!!!!
-
DR vixmom - I'm glad that you and the vixter had a great time at The Cloisters. And you had a Beautiful day for a visit to Fort Tryon Park too!
-
On a related note, John Corigliano wrote a set of four songs titled, "The Cloisters". You can listen to sound clips HERE (http://www.johncorigliano.com/index.php?p=item2&sub=cat&item=113).

You'd think it was a Sunday on a holiday weekend.
Ya' think?

This girl is amazing!!

My apologies if this has already been posted & I missed it.
That girl reminds me of Linda Blair from THE EXORCIST. That big voice should not be coming from that little girl.
There was a story in the L.A. Times last week about her, her voice and her (possible) future:
Jackie Evancho's voice strikes a chord (http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-jackie-evancho-20100831,0,6342127.story)

As for tonight's episode of "Mad Men"...
It's a good one!
-
DR Ginny - To paraphrase "Finding Nemo" - Just keep walking. Just keep walking. :)
-
What is your favorite Disney film of all time?
I know it's not the BEST one, but for some very sentimental reasons, my favorite Classic Disney film is "Cinderella".
-
Toy Story 2
I should have figurd that out. I only saw the first TOY STORY. I thought it was cute, but not cute enough to see 2 or 3.
DR TCB - You can kinda skip "Toy Story 2". However, "Toy Story 3" is very much a Should-See!
*Alas, I wish I could recommend the current live action "Toy Story" on the Disney Cruise Line, but... well... I can't. However, I believe there are enough (basically illegal) clips of it on YouTube if anyone is interested in checking it out.

Ooo, La, La!
-I think that's how you say that in French? ;)
-
DR Jeanne - My condolences on the passing of your friend and neighbor.
-
DR Ginny - RE: Your "da UP, eh" post yesterday - Maybe you needed to hold your hand up while posting that post. ;)
-
DR DER BRUCER - Have you tried a baked potato with a sensible drizzle of a really good Extra Virgin Olive Oil? -Or even an herb-infused one?
-
DR Matthew - The production of Chicago you saw - Was it a tour? Or a locally produced production?
-

I just finished it and I agree!

In other news...
Since Tuesday night's grand opening, the Foodie In Me has been drawn like a moth to a flame to the new Italian supermarket/restaurant, Eataly (http://www.newyork.eataly.it/).
In short, it's a huge space that not only features various Italian groceries, but it also features a couple of mini-restaurants: salumi, cheese, vegetables, pizza, fish, gelato, pastries, coffee, etc. It's the first American outpost of an Italian chain, and it's being run stateside by Mario Batali, Joe and Lidia Bastianich along with the original Italian founder, Oscar Farinetti.
There's been a lot of hype about the place, and in the first five days of business, they've managed to live up to most of it. It was also nice to see Chefs Batali and Bastianich in-house this past week too.

DR DER BRUCER - Have you tried a baked potato with a sensible drizzle of a really good Extra Virgin Olive Oil? -Or even an herb-infused one?
Nope - but I like the suggestion; thank you.

I thought most people would say MARY POPPINS was their favorite Disney film.
Mine is.
-
Even Monkey likes Eataly! *Although, I'm still not sure that Lidia liked Monkey. ;)

You're welcome. -I'm thinking a garlic-and-chive-infused or chili-infused oil would work nicely.

Well,t he red velvet cake came out OK, except that it slid a little in transition from my house to Bonnie's. Did not affect the flavor one bit, however, and five of us ate three-fifths of the cake. All in all, a qualified success and a tasty one, too.
-
OH!
One very cool feature of Eataly is their "Vegetable Butcher". Once you select your produce, you can drop it off at the Vegetable Butcher, and they will peel, slice, dice, chop, etc., them according to your instructions. And there's no charge for the service!
*I asked two of the Vegetable Butchers what it was like to train with some of the Italian staff that came over for the store's opening. Well... It turns out the "Vegetable Butcher" is purely an "American invention". -The Italians know how to prepare their vegetables. In other words, Americans are lazy. ;)

Well, if the cake had ended up slipping and sliding apart, you could have easily made it into a batch of "cake balls" - which seem to be latest sweets craze here in NYC. -All they are are mashed up cake with some frosting that is scopped and rolled into balls of cake, and then dipped in chocolate.

How about an old-fashioned slow dance?

Well, since there's a slim chance I may be heading down to DC in the
morning a few hours from now...
Goodnight.

I, too, liked Mad Men this evening - in fact, for me it was the best episode of the season so far, and that mainly has to do with the character of Peggy and the actress who plays her.
-
I'd like me a cake ball!

You watch your phraseology.
