Today is a work day.  Of course.  Oh well.

DR GEORGE every time I see a promo for GREY'S ANATOMY, I can't help thinking - is this show STILL ON?  And every promo has one of the characters being fired or one of the character's life is in jeopardy.  I saw the plane crash promo several times.....and Sandra Oh was making the same acting face she always makes.....and I couldn't help but remember at least SIX promos this season when she made the same face while being told something she had done would result in her being FIRED from the hospital......but still she remains.

Good morning, all! I slept very well, and I only recall part of a dream iabout painting an apartment; I think my friend Douglas Howard may have been in the dream as well.

The laundry is in the washers, and I have several hours to kill with nothing to eat or drink before my physical exam at 11:30. It's going to be a looooooong morning. I'm dying for some coffee!

Things on the office front are looking up, which cheers me up enormously. I will have very good news soon, I hope.

    DVD: Lady in a Cage, and a few more Netflix items

DVD - Rebellion of Thought, which was given to me by a client so that we could discuss it.  It is about Modernism and Post Modernism which I haven't thought about in decades, but now that I have watched the DVD, I am thinking about it again.  Most interesting.

DVD/Blu-ray:  Last night, "The Big Heat" and "Pillow Talk", a serendipitously well balanced double feature.  Would that I could do this well every night.  Or day.

CD:  One more disc of Proust, to catch up to where I left off reading it a few years ago, which was exactly the halfway point -- I'd finished The Guermantes Way (which is not to be confused with The Hollywood Way).  I shall then resume the REAL reading and save the second half of the CD set for a review sometime after that.  Whereupon it will be time to start all over again.  Right?  I believe that's the way with Proust.

Those RCA Reader Digest sets are wonderful.  Some were cheesey, but you probably know that others were real audiophile favorites.  At one point I had all the ones that were important to me, perhaps a couple of linear feet, but last year I weeded out a BUNCH of vinyl and I remember making some tough decisions on the RCAs.  Now I want to go downstairs and see what I kept.

(Still have a wall and a half full of vinyl.  At my peak I estimated five to six thousand albums, but I eventually came to realize that many were dumb acquisitions, some of which weren't even in decent shape, and the purging was a necessary and welcome thing.)

Speaking of gluten, I've gone gluten-free during the past few weeks,,,and it has made me feel much better.

Like DR Druxy, I gave up flour, sugar, starches, etc about the third week of April.  I haven't been 100% successful in totally eliminating these items becase of parties, etc... But I've dropped some weight and I feel SO much better in general.  I've explored other flours, etc and that has been fun also.  I learned about the glycemic index and what types of sugars and flours to avoid.  It's all really healthy and good.  On days I "cheat", it's easy to get right back on when you remember how good you feel when you eat this way.

Richard decided a couple of months ago to try this as well and asked if I wanted to join him.  Having already given up fat and salt, I declined, but by default am not eating as much flour and starch as before.  Our daughter-in-law follows a pretty strict gluten-free diet.

Y'all are very close to describing what works for me, which is basic Atkins-style low carbing.  Which I was just saying that I've got to start again.  It works amazingly for me.  I'm a veritable poster child for low-carbing.  A VERITABLE POSTER CHILD.  Not that I don't love me my carbs.  I adore them.  But there's no question that that's what puts the weight on.  Okay, the fat.  That's what puts the FAT on.

I have thought often about the starch free, gluten free, etc. style of eating, but I need to really sit down and study it to find out what to eat for breakfast and lunch...my breakfast is normally cooked oats (with eggs, crushed almonds, and dried cranberries)...and lunch is normally a sandwich of chicken slices on whole wheat...so I need to replace some of those things, I am guessing.

Otherwise I snack on mixed nuts, celery, and apple slices during the day and dinner is usually a boiled chicken breast or two eggs with a side of vegies/fruit.

And looking at the BMI index that was at my doctors office, I need to drop 20 pounds (I am currently at 190 lbs).

Here's the Lincoln Plaza blurb about the film:
HYSTERIA, a mischievously inspired romantic comedy set in the late 19th century, is based on the surprising truth of how Mortimer Granville came up with the world's first electromechanical vibrator in the name of medical science. The film stars Academy Award nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy, alongside Jonathan Pryce, Rupert Everett and Felicity Jones.

My friend Kim Criswell has a role in the new comedy with Hugh Dancy about the invention of the vibrator, HYSTERIA; perhaps there will be dancing dildos.

I hope I can see it this weekend. It's playing at Lincoln Plaza at 64th and Broadway.

I can just hear Richard's reaction if I suggested we see that next week...

Oh, come on, live a little.  Take him and just don't tell him what it's about.  They have defibrillators in all of the theaters now.  :)

LOL, DR JMK!  It's amazing how you and DRs Jane and John G, without ever meeting him, picked right up on the humor here!

I just downloaded 10 songs from SMASH on iTunes, then burned them onto a CD.

Several of my favorites are not on the official album, so this way I could pick and choose.
I am curious which ones are your favorites?  There are some very catchy tunes.

The 3 that are not on the album are:

Don't Forget Me
Don't Say Yes Until I Finish Talking
Second Hand White Baby Grand


The Others, which are on the album:

Stand
Brighter Than the Sun
Let Me Be Your Star
The 20th Century Fox Mambo
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Let's Be Bad
History Is Made at Night


It is so nice to have songs where you can understand the lyrics and music that you can hum along with.  I was beginning to think that was a lost art.

Y'all are very close to describing what works for me, which is basic Atkins-style low carbing.  Which I was just saying that I've got to start again.  It works amazingly for me.  I'm a veritable poster child for low-carbing.  A VERITABLE POSTER CHILD.  Not that I don't love me my carbs.  I adore them.  But there's no question that that's what puts the weight on.  Okay, the fat.  That's what puts the FAT on.

...and feed the brain.  I've read that carbohydrates are the only energy source for the brain.  If one totally eliminates carbs, then the brain can't function.

So BK's a gluten glutton. He does like to eat. I went wheat-free for a year or so many years back, but didn't feel a lot better.  That's when I realized that I have trouble with all gluten. I don't think I could go completely gluten-free; instead, I limit how much of it I eat. That works pretty well.

I'm quite fond of Food for Life's rice breads. They're tasty and I don't have any problem with them. I think their Rice Almond is my favorite.
