Around 5:30 am the Oaf Above Me certainly had a lot of activity. I suspect it has to do with the dog's wanting to go out, but it's damned noisy.

I have a date with Mr Skip Kennon today to edit some Victor Herbert after the McGlinnventory. On my way back here, I need to stop at Verizon and put some money into my cell phone account. I'll follow that up with some inquiries into readiness for the next recording sessions beginning on Oct 2.

Honestly here I don't even know if ranch dressing is usually an option with your salad. I don't eat salad out that often. And if i do there is usually the house dressing.

Re: DR Jose's question whether chicken wings are served with ranch dressing. There are not that many restaurants here that I've been to that serve chicken wings. And I"m not sure what the dressing they serve is. But let's just say that I do not believe that ranch dressing and wings are very popular here (I've never heard of them being a popular combo).

We'll be on this piece for the next month, what with his schedule and mine.

Zak Stains joined us today at the McGlinnventory; he will be helping us with the next round of dividing, filing, shipping, etc.

Post by: John G. on September 23, 2010, 09:51:23 AM: Chicken wings are popular for the same reasons burgers, pizza and sandwiches are: They're food you eat with your hands. So, you won't find them at too many fork, knife and linen table cloth places (though the ones I had made with truffle oil were).

That said, they are usually available in San Antonio with a choice of either ranch or blue cheese (or both). And there are plenty of places that serve only wings (Buffalo Wild Wings and WingStop are the first two that come to mind).

I went to a chicken conference in Miami about 8 years ago, and the industry just loved the popularity in chicken wings because it gave them a market for a part of the bird that never sold before (only flavorless breast meat seems to sell).

It sounds very familiar. Anyway, here is the latest segment featuring OUTSOURCED cast member Parvesh Cheena (who is such a nice guy).

It is rather amusing: http://doinitwithethan.com/celebrity-interview/parvesh-cheena-is-doin-it-with-ethan/ (http://doinitwithethan.com/celebrity-interview/parvesh-cheena-is-doin-it-with-ethan/)

Post by: Ron Pulliam on September 23, 2010, 12:24:24 PM: "Criminal Minds" was a very tragic story last night. Creepy guest performance by Tim Curry.

That, plus the departure from the show of one of the regulars (another departs next week) signals change for "Criminal Minds" that may either energize the show or ruin it.

SB rehearsal was great last night. We almost have the ensemble numbers learned. I say "almost" because "Let's Have Lunch" is on the edge of being right, but it's not 100% yet.

Vibes to BK for a great NYC trip, wish I could be there this weekend. Someday....

I remember reading an article about SB when it first opened and originally, they called that number "Let's Do Lunch," but they changed the title because back in the 1950s, they didn't "do" anything. ;)

Ha! Yes, I mentioned that to the cast the other night. They were bright and came up with the reasoning before I said mentioned it.

re: the discussion about fries and ranch dressing.

Honestly here I don't even know if ranch dressing is usually an option with your salad. I don't eat salad out that often. And if i do there is usually the house dressing.

Re: DR Jose's question whether chicken wings are served with ranch dressing. There are not that many restaurants here that I've been to that serve chicken wings. And I"m not sure what the dressing they serve is. But let's just say that I do not believe that ranch dressing and wings are very popular here (I've never heard of them being a popular combo).

These items are VERY popular in sports bars, etc. Do you frequent those?

Not really. But that was actually the only place I could think of that would serve chicken wings here.

What did other SURVIVOR fans think of Shannon's little tirade last night at Tribal Council?

I think it was a fantastic example of a person committing game show suicide.

He tied the rope into a noose, threw it over a sturdy low-hanging branch and then was shocked to discover he had hanged himself.

I'm curious if those 2 girls (who they showed voted for him) changed their votes after hearing his tirade.

I was happy that Brenda was safe, since I really like her. I can't exactly figure out whey they wanted to vote off the strongest women first.

As for Shannon. They must have skipped some stuff because why would he ask "are you gay?" out of nowhere. It made no sense. But then to rant on about New York having a lot of gay people. Well he was just acting ignorant and I agree he hung himself.

By the way, looking at the platform that my friend fell off yesterday: I would say from her side it was about five feet and she fell downhill.

They asked a whole bunch of health-related questions before we went. Shoulder wasn't one of them, You had to be able to hold onto the lobster clasps and move your feet up to land on the various platforms. I didn't use my shoulders too much. Or at least that I noticed. But I would ask a doctor first probably.

There had been a tiny scratch on one of the walls by the stairs leading up to the master, and I *think* I chose the right color from the paint left in the garage, but I won't know for certain until it dries. This house has "twisty, windy" stairs, each flight with two landings, and I hadn't realized I was at the lip of one of the landings when I stepped back to review my paint job. The assymetrical angles of this house were one of the first things that really attracted us to it--there aren't any "square" rooms.

Otherwise you could risk hurting it again. I would think you would have to have a fair amount of strength in your upper body and arms. But I guess you should ask your doctor if you are seriously considering it.

I agree with you. But I had read the book and enjoyed greatly noticing how they streamlined a massive book into such a taut movie.

Yes, I enjoyed that too. Especially since they seemed to have cut out a lot of what I thought was superfluous
I walked into the movie wondering how they were going to handle the police officer with the "lesbian Satanists" fixation and was surprised (and pleased) to see that he had been completely eliminated. I loved him in the book. I think he would have been too fatuous and comical on screen.

Thanks JohnG. My physical therapist said I could not zip line, but that is because he has only seen the type where you hang from your arms. He said I might be able to do it in a harness like you had.

Might be able to? How exactly do you find out if you can do it since once you're on the thing I doubt they let you off! :)
Quite true. And the platforms are so high that climbing down is really not a viable option.

I'm sure. It had been a long time between my reading the first book and watching the movie which really helped keep up the level of suspense.

DR Jane how strong is your shoulder now? I'm guessing that if it is still fairly weak that you would not be able to zip line. Otherwise you could risk hurting it again. I would think you would have to have a fair amount of strength in your upper body and arms. But I guess you should ask your doctor if you are seriously considering it.

Strong‽‽ My entire upper body strength is pathetic. The therapist said it has nothing to do with strength, that I can never ever hang on to anything with the arm above my head because the artificial ball in my shoulder can't do it.

A friend of mine called me up yesterday since he was in need of a pianist for an audition he had this morning. Well, it was more like a "hearing" - he was singing for an agent in the hopes of getting representation. He had rattled off a list of songs that he had prepared, and it was all stuff that I had played before. So, we planned a brief rehearsal for this morning before heading to the agent's office. Well..

He had mentioned that he was singing "Ich grolle nicht" from Schumann's song cycle, "Dichterliebe". After running through two arias, we started on the Schumann. Well...

He opened his music, and instead of "Ich grolle nicht", he placed "Im wunderschönen Monat Mai" in front of me - the first song of the cycle. Hmmm... OK. We went through it. Then went on to the second song of the cycle... Then the third... -It turned out he had prepared the WHOLE song cycle and not just "Ich grolle nicht". And that's when I stopped breathing. I guess I should mention that the agent used to be a concert pianist, so...

After I had explained to him that the last time I had played through the whole cycle was about 15 years ago, we went ahead and selected five of them to present for the agent. -I mean, this was just a "hearing", not a recital.

We then headed up to the agent's apartment/office, and she asked to hear the Mozart aria first, "Dalla sua pace". Then the aria from "Le Roi d'Ys".

"That's all I really need to hear today. That was wonderful."

...And that's when I started breathing again.

Whew!

This Professor who is writing the Farmer article wants several pics from me and is insisting the publication (which is online) requires 2400 dpi. I think she meant 240 dpi, as every website I have worked for doesn't deal with anything over 300 dpi (and usually it's as low as 72 dpi). Plus, you need to compress photos that huge to email anyway. We shall see.

Um, 2400dpi is definitely beyond what's normally asked for. The only time someone would usually for something that "detailed" would be if they were going to blow up the pictures to large format. -Are posters involved? Or will it be for a cover of "W"? ;)

I wasn't walking down steps with paint. I was painting the wall next to some steps. No way to do that without the paint can being open. :) My mistake was stepping back to see my paint job without realizing I was right at the lip of the landing.

I too thought you were walking along with an open can of paint. I'm glad you didn't fall.

Miss Myrtle-Belle has an appointment with the surgeon tomorrow. She is currently sitting on my lap purring.

VIBES ALL GOES WELL!! Does this mean she won't be returning to you?

Jose - I'm pretty sure everyone's planning on dinner at 8, based on the timing of BK at Drama Book Shop.

Gotcha. So, I'll hold off on the All-You-Can-Eat Fried Chicken Lunch until next week. ;)

Post by: Jane on September 23, 2010, 07:23:07 PM: While I was in the hospital my cell phone broke. Bryan had sent me an old phone of his so I was not without, however the SIM card did not transfer my info as I was promised it would. Recently I got a new phone and the SIM only transferred one phone number per person. :( The phone was also missing the main book of instructions. After over an hour on the phone with the nice person at T-Mobile I have spent another hour, at least, fixing my phone book. Now I have most the numbers in my phone book corrected, more questions to call T-Mobile about, and a very sore shoulder.

The shoulder is why I hadn't programed all my numbers into my phone. I'm sure there are numbers I'm missing too. Before I add more numbers I want to make sure I'm keeping this phone. Of course after what I just did I'm very worried the card won't transfer correctly again.

I did not watch BIG BANG THEORY - but thanks for the reminder DR BEN - I was watching last week's PWOJECT WUNWAY followed by the new PWOJECT WUNWAY......and I am hoping someone I really dislike is going home in the next ten minutes.

The Joe Allen's list is BK, Ben and Anthony, FJL, Jose, Julie, KevinH, Larry, Vixmom, Vixter, and a possibility of Noel making it 10 people with a possibility of 11.

Noel - Just let me know by noon that day whether you can make it . We should be fine as long as we have the exact count for me to call in around noon.

DR FJL - Are we doing dinner? appetizers? snacks and drinks? -I need to plan my afternoon culinary trekking. ;)

I can't speak for others but I'm definitely having dinner - I won't have eaten anything all day.

Post by: MBarnum on September 23, 2010, 07:53:11 PM: I just finished watching a 1934 film called DEATH ON THE DIAMOND. It is about a killer who is bumping off members of the St. Louis Cardinals. I recorded it for a co-worker who is a huge Cardinals fan.

Watching this movie I came to realize how unfunny Ted Healy is and how beautiful Madge Evans was.
