Well, you've read the notes, the notes bid a fond farewell to 2012 and a hearty hello to 2013, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're looking forward to a MOOvelous 2013.
-
And the word of the day is: NUMISMATICS!
-
Happy New Year's Eve Day!! ;D
-
The last day of 2012. And so it is.
-
Good morning, all. And Happy New Year's Eve!
Feel better vibes for those needing them.
I didn't sleep well enough. The cedar pollen is heavy and it's raining outside, which seems initially just to wet it down rather than wash it away. Blech.
-
I'm sorry and surprised that bk didn't like "Young Adult". I thought it an exceptionally good film although I didn't consider it to be a comedy and I think it's a mistake to label it as such. I thought the script was excellent and Charlize Theron gave a perfect performance in a role which was novel and nuanced. I've watched it several since first seeing it a few weeks ago and each time I notice subtleties which were not obvious on a first viewing.
-
New Year's Eve morning greetings! Richard and I have several errands to do, including going out for lunch. We want to be home this evening to see the Broadway Live from Lincoln Center and to stay out of the snow that's predicted.
-
good morning to all
-
a most happy happy new year to all
-
Good last morning of 2012, all.
Coffee!
-
Last day of 2012....how can that be?
Very cold here with a bit more snow predicted to fall this afternoon.
I am going to spend my Gift Card from Meijer this morning.....if it is not too busy! And do a bit of other shopping. I don't have to do MAJOR shopping since I did that on Friday.
-
Vibes to the youngsters in DR LAURA's congregation.....
-
I think my sister and I are going to see LINCOLN on Wednesday.....time will tell.
-
TOD:
I would like to make a resolution that we have TERM limits for all politicians.....if you can only have a couple of terms as Representative or Senator, then you can't become so powerful or be so influenced by special interests.
AND I would like to make a resolution that if you have been elected to office, you can't become a lobbyist afterwards.....
BUT I don't expect either of those things to happen.....ever.
-
Good morning, all! I wish every DR a fantastic 2013, filled with joy, health and prosperity!
I will shortly head down to Toyland for a couple of hours. On my way home, I will stop at the market. I plan to spend tomorrow accomplishing little and being lazy.

I liked Charlize Theron in the movie a lot, but I can't say that I cared for the script or thought much of the movie overall.

I liked YOUNG ADULT, but except for the score, I've always thought HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN was a total dud.
-
Happy New Year, everybody!
-
Good morning. My last cup of coffee for 2012!
-
My buddy got a new birding scope, so today we plan to go out and look at the ducks on the OTHER side of the lake.
-
Then I will make soup for our festive New Year's Eve Party. And a cherpumple.
-
Sounds like I'd be bored with YOUNG ADULT. One never knows, of course. I do know I'm not rushing out to find it. Hadn't even heard of it till reading the notes.
I also hadn't heard of the two films BK reported on yesterday, but both of those DID sound like they'd appeal to the likes of moi. Now I have to go back to see what the hell they were! :)
-
Re HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN... Very sorry to hear it is so disappointing in general.
I'd really hoped (as I'll bet many are likewise hoping) that it would be one of those childhood gems that had somehow lain dormant all these years and now is a real find on Blu-ray. Well, I shall watch it soon and appreciate all there is to be appreciated -- the music, at least, and Danny Kaye to the extent possible. But what a shame to hear it's such a dud in so many other ways.
-
Good morning!! I have a busy day today. I'm getting the car serviced this morning, having ice cream with my client and his kids this afternoon and going to a party tonight. I'll likely be back but if I'm not....HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone celebrate sanely

Greetings from Toyland! I have been quite busy since I got here: meeting with Curtis on the current ROBERTA situation; we're in great shape!; search of two of the seven McGlinn external hard drives for music from SHOW BOAT. When I leave here, I'm heading back uptown to market and then to home.

SHOW BOAT music --- meaning, scores or recordings or what?

Waiting for the president to speak on the fiscal cliff. Then maybe, just maybe, I'll get to go home early.

A lot of work he did for the recording and after.

From DR TCB:
You should see what being in a wheelchair has done to mine.
I can imagine :(
-
Keith & I had Shingles Virus Vaccination. My brother forgot I told him to get one. He truly regrets his discussion so I didn't remind him of my advice.
-
Thank you DR John G. If I do get there we can have an HHW mini gathering :)
-
DR Vixmom I believe you can get a shingles vaccination before yo are 60 but then need one again later on. Recommendations change so it wouldn't hurt to ask about it.
-
My buddy got a new birding scope
What does that look like? Is it easy to carry?
-

I'm waiting for the carpet cleaner who will arrive any minute now. Keith is at the gym burning off calories. I'm jealous.
-
Doug, certainly the way they continue to mis-sell films is a big problem. When you're told something is a comedy then one expects - you know, a comedy. Perhaps I'll watch it again at some point, but I just didn't like it at all, comedy or not. The leading lady is fine as are all the actors.
-
Oh, and I'm up. I got up just before ten, turned on the heat, and got right back into bed and waited till it warmed up a bit.
-
I've made my run to the corner market for tomato paste and tomato sauce. Someone on the first floor of my building is cooking pork with a lot of spices and it smells so good it is driving me mad .
-
That was my last trip for 2012. I am staying in now until Wednesday morning.

I just gave our wonderful FedX delivery guy a big hug goodbye as he is retiring. Today was his last day. Keith will be sorry he didn't get to say goodbye.
It isn't difficult to image how much we will miss this very good guy as he is DR MBarnum's dear brother.
-
The new carpet guy is here. He seems nice.

Retirement is a good thing.

I agree :)

Yep, first my sister retires, now my big brother! When is my turn, that is what I want to know!
-
Wow. My buddy must have been a VERY bad girl this year. It's a Swarovski.
-
The bottom and middle layers of the cherpumple are in the oven.
We stayed out birding longer than I thought we were going to, so I am behind now.
-
One of my favorite supporting players of the 40s died earlier this month, at age 97! He had quite a life!
RIP Greg McClure
(I posted this photo of him yesterday on Facebook, but I think it is worth a second look!)

Spent the day so far doing productive things like paying bills, banking, laundry and transferring items to my new wallet. For fun, I took a pile of winning lottery tickets to the 7-11 and cashed them in. I now have $24 burning a hole in my pocket!
-
I'm about to perform a solemn yearly ritual--going from room to room throughout the house and taking down the 2012 calendars. But I'll wait until tomorrow to put up 2013.
The 2012 calendars were hastily purchased and were mostly an unispired lot. They set the pace for the entire year. This year I took my time to get an odd and eclectic assortment in the hopes that they will help bring about a more interesting year (and hopefully interesting in a good way...)
-
Gosh--it's dark out already. I thought the days were suppose to be getting longer.
-
In the middle of preparing the New Years Eve meal.
prime rib, Yorkshire pudding, Mac and cheese cups, grilled asparagus, salad with nuts, pomegranate seeds, crasins and goat cheese with a lemon vinaigrette, and a banana toffee pie.
-
And a wonderful radio show it is - as always - and those who don't tune in are really missing out on Donald's unique and great show.
-
Picked up three packages, ate some tuna pasta salad but did not finish it yet and soon I'll get ready to be on my way to the El Portal. Now, let's get the HELL off page three and ring out 2012 in style, not absentia. We must have a lovelier than lovely partay tonight - I'll be back around six to begin the festivities.
-
I wish you all a very HAPPY, HEALTHY, PROSPEROUS, and CREATIVELY SATISFYING YEAR!!!
-
and I'm home!
-
I have some nice rib steaks which have been marinating since last night and shrimp for shrimp cocktail and crab cakes and our traditional sweet & spicy cocktail franks
-
hotdog sauce is steak sauce, catsup, brown sugar and vinegar simmer it slow add the dogs simmer slow and let them sit over night in the fridge to soak up all the flavor and then simmer them again till they're warm
delish!!
-
especially on a cracker with a nice piece of sharp cheddar
-

Happy New Year's Eve! I had a wonderful afternoon and got to meet 5 great kids that I helped come to the USA from Somalia via Kenya. They gave me thank you cards and a beautiful shawl/scarf. We all met at an ice cream shop and had a great time. They are some of the nicest and most polite kids (4th grade-10th grade) that I've ever met. It was a joy to spend time with them

I need to go to the mailbox. There should be a top in there for me I ordered. I really need it to fit and look great as I am out of options for something to wear to my niece's wedding on the beach.
-
I've made in the last three hours a huge vat of chili. I do love my new stove! Sometime soon I've got to try out the oven.
I'll have some chili and cheddar cheese andcrackers for dinner, and when the pot is cool, I'll fill a lot of containers and freeze some of it.
-
New Cat sitter - victim of Ninja Boo just stopped by and dropped off the key and picked up her check. Callie was not pleased to see her and really started hissing. It's clear to me that Callie will need to be boarded in the future to get her meds when I'm gone. Sharon said she'll be back some day, but in the mean time, that's the way it's going to have to be.
-
Did I mention yesterday that I spent the afternoon with Sharon? We had a great time
-
I'm glad you and Sharon had a nice visit. And I think Callie and Boo are simply being loyal to Sharon by hating all other cat sitters.
-
Time to figure out when the NYE party starts tonight and to wrap my white elephant. I was going to do a really cool one, but decided to just wrap the Hostess Fruitcake I will never eat and do that instead.
-
I'm glad you and Sharon had a nice visit. And I think Callie and Boo are simply being loyal to Sharon by hating all other cat sitters.
LOL! That's possible. When she's up and around I'm hoping she can come over for a visit and see the cats. She asked me to send her photos so I did.
Actually I was with her Saturday, not yesterday

Re: YOUNG ADULT:
I couldn't get through it, turned it off about 1/3 through. This is quite unusual for me. I was fine with Charlize, but didn't like her character or anything else. I guess I missed the nuances.
-
And a wonderful radio show it is - as always - and those who don't tune in are really missing out on Donald's unique and great show.
Am currently enjoying it while I try to make dinner. I'm not into making dinner, though. Would much prefer listening. Am up to No. 6 on the list.
-
It is surprisingly chilly here today. A gorgeous day with lots of blue sky, but cold. It is unusual for us to have highs in the 50s unless it's raining.
-
Did I mention yesterday that I spent the afternoon with Sharon? We had a great time
Great news.

It feels like time for a nap (even though it isn't raining.)

I'll go there right after dinner at the restaurant. I won't be back until tomorrow...next year!

We left here about noon, did a boatload of errands, had a lovely late lunch/early dinner at Bravo, visited Mom, and got home just as the snow moved in. We are in for the rest of the year!

Hi Jane.
Just hanging out with the boyfriend.
And watching Matt Helm movies.
I love Dean Martin. The movies from the 60's are so much fun.
Will try to stay awake till midnight.
Then he has to pickup his son after midnight. 8)

Oh, and I played in the snow yesterday. Just a hour or so drive from home.
8) 8) 8) And throwing snowballs is still the best. ;D ;D ;D

Finally finished the recent Broadway Radio Show. It seems I have a lot of CD buying to do. I only had three of the top 10 CDs and only one of the runners-up.

Oy. I need to listen to that.

First gimlet of the evening is halfway gone.
Do you make pitchers of these and serve them? It isn't something Keith or I drink so I'm not familiar with it. I believe they are served like martini's.
How many people do you have there?

Not doing anything tonight. Just staying at home, so no people in my messy home.
I read an article on gin recently and its easy recipe was half gin, half Rose's Lime Juice. I'm having a double. To start with.
-
Why copy editors are needed. The following is from an about.com article:
"Helmed by Tony winner Kathleen Turner, Nice Work If You Can Get It is a collection of the Gershwins music strung together with a plot straight out of a zany 1930's romantic comedy romp."
-
I don't like gin. I did have a 15 year old scotch at dinner Friday night.
-
I don't like gin. I did have a 15 year old scotch at dinner Friday night.
I like scotch, too, but gin is more summery, so it's more appropriate for here. And I needed a feel of summer today. It was misty in the morning, which was beautiful, but it has turned to rain. Not really cold, but wet and depressing.
-
By the way, some nice soul gave me a bottle of 12-year-old Abelour Scotch this afternoon. Will investigate in a day or two.
-
The hottest of the hotties on stage this year:

Six!

Hmmm, that is one I don't think I have tried. I'm not sure because I can't remember the names of all the ones I've tasted. I only know that, so far, my favorites are Dalwhinnie & Glenlivet.
Now I'm in the mood for a few sips of Dalwhinnie. Since it is New Year's Eve I shall have some. :)

Sounds like a good plan.

Watching a tape of the Encores! "Pipe Dream." Leslie Uggams is a wonder. The show is a mess, but the Rodgers melodies are sublime.
-
GOODBYE 2012!
'night
-
Home from the little Christmas show at the El Portal. You couldn't have better talent than the four who were in this, but man, what a sort of bore the show itself is. It's kind of a Frank Sinatra-themed Christmas show but what's the point really? They have to shoehorn in a bunch of non-holiday Sinatra songs, the dialogue is completely without humor (oh, it tries and the poor cast has to make do) - Jason Graae told me later they cut a lot of the really lame jokes and added their own punch lines. It was a quiet but appreciative house and I knew several people in attendance, including Jason's mom.
-
But best of all - I'm home for the PARTAY! I cannot believe Jane has already said her goodnight - this is night a night to WUSSBURGER.
-
I'm currently eating the rest of the tuna pasta salad.
-
I don't know that I'm in the mood for watching a motion picture this evening. I'll probably just hang out on the computer and at our festivities.
-
Oh, and I played in the snow yesterday. Just a hour or so drive from home.
8) 8) 8) And throwing snowballs is still the best. ;D ;D ;D
It's not so fun when you have 4-5 feet of it everywhere!
-
I'm sure I'll listen to a bunch of music tonight - a perfect night for catching up.
-
Listening to a rather divine upcoming project.
-
Watching Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin. Kathy's already making Anderson nervous.
-
I am very fortunate that I have not seen very many smarmy films. But I do love that word, and it does perfectly fit some books, some films, and some people!
-
I am not sure that I understand the T.O.D. Perhaps I will understand it better after I have read some of the other posts today.
-
Last day of 2012....how can that be?
Very cold here with a bit more snow predicted to fall this afternoon.
I am going to spend my Gift Card from Meijer this morning.....if it is not too busy! And do a bit of other shopping. I don't have to do MAJOR shopping since I did that on Friday.
So you won't be doing major Menjer shopping? What exactly is Menjer?
-
Then I will make soup for our festive New Year's Eve Party. And a cherpumple.
We will need photos!

It's Meijer, not Menjer and it groceries and many other things
Meijer (http://www.meijer.com/)
Oh, by the way,
Morning all.
That is all.
A little late with that, me thinks.
-
Hey! We're havin' a partay here.
-
We need some of our patented merriment and mirth and laughter and legs.
-
We need us some dancin' and singin' and levity.
-
We need to get off this damn page.
-
I've told people who normally don't visit the board to stop by later to partake in the fun.
-
So, let's not sit there on our collective hands.
-
I've had a Diet Coke and am drinking water and having a few cherry almond cluster things.
-
They are Dark Chocolate cherry almond cluster things.
-
Why I oughta.
-
Will we never get to page fifteen?
-
This should do it.
-
Apparently not.
-
That did it.
-
And it did that.
-
Fish sticks.
-
Oscar Hammerstein is largely to blame for the mess that is "Pipe Dream." He didn't trust Steinbeck or Steinbeck's people. It's a shame, too, because it could have been really good.
-
Fish sticks and dark chocolate cherry almond clusters. Works for me.
-
Does anyone still eat fish sticks? Do they even make such a thing anymore? Fish sticks were quite popular with the populace when I was growing up.
-
Steinbeck apparently said to Hammerstein: “You’ve turned my prostitute into a visiting nurse!”
-
I think we should all turn our prostitutes into visiting nurses, don't you?
-
Is Mrs. Paul's still around? Whatever happened to fish sticks?
-
Steinbeck apparently said to Hammerstein: “You’ve turned my prostitute into a visiting nurse!”
It's true and that makes it all rather embarrassing.
-
I'm havin' a party and those who are sitting on their collective hands are party poopers with an emphasis on the latter.
-
I think we should all turn our prostitutes into visiting nurses, don't you?
Works for me. Do visiting nurses still make house calls?
-
Fish sticks and dark chocolate cherry almond clusters. Works for me.
Oy! What a combination!
-
I'm feeling very Japanese right now on account of what I'm listening to.
-
Jeanne, you know you want some right now.
-
I mean fish sticks and dark chocolate almond cherry cluster things.
-
I'm full of tuna pasta salad at the moment.
-
They're setting off tons of fireworks next door. Glad it rained. Before today, it had been really dry.
-
I love the first part of HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN, especially the songs. However, once he meets up with the ballerina and her husband, I truly despise the rest of the film. [SPOILER ALERT!] When Farley Granger locks Danny Kaye in the closet, and leaves him there so that he misses the ballet, I just about lose it. And then the ballerina and her husband laugh it off. [END OF SPOILER ALERT] That is when the whole film becomes nasty, meanspirited, humiliating, and Yes, even smarmy.
Other than that, the film is fine. And it is a dumb ballet.
-
And I now have to go on a tuna pasta salad hiatus for about two months.
-

Fish sticks are still around. Don't know if they're Mrs. Paul's, though.
-

;D
-
Yes, Hans Christian Andersen is perfectly agreeable up to the time he meets those wretched people. It's hard to know what Moss Hart was thinking, other than The Red Shoes had been quite a hit.

Farley Granger locking Danny Kaye in a closet. Now there's a sentence Freud could have fun with.
-
I could use a visiting nurse right about now. That's one of my resolutions: More visiting nurses.
-
And less prostitutes.
-
Fish sticks are what we had in the school cafeteria every Friday throughout...I don't know how many years. Elementary, maybe junior high, too?
-
Not that I've ever been with a prostitute, although I don't profess to know the complete history of everyone I've ever gone out with.
-
Yes, fish sticks were a school staple. They were kind of vomit-inducing but I liked to make little things with them on the plate.
-
But I could swear my mother made fish sticks.
-
Wow, we got through page seven rather quickly.
-
I mean fish sticks and dark chocolate almond cherry cluster things.
Umm...no. I was never particularly fond of fish sticks and I'm a MILK chocolate lover, not dark chocolate. I always leave the dark chocolate for you.
-
Why would anyone purposefully make fish sticks?
-
Are the dark chocolate cherry cluster things from See's?
-
For example, I see two fish sticks just sitting there on their collective hands - Ben and elmore. Hey boys - we're havin' a party.
-
Greetings from Toyland! I have been quite busy since I got here: meeting with Curtis on the current ROBERTA situation; we're in great shape!; search of two of the seven McGlinn external hard drives for music from SHOW BOAT. When I leave here, I'm heading back uptown to market and then to home.
SHOW BOAT music --- meaning, scores or recordings or what?
McGlinn probably had several chorus boys from SHOW BOAT stuffed away in the (ahem) hard drive.
-
No, the dark chocolate almond cherry cluster things are from Costco.
-
Why would anyone purposefully make fish sticks?
You didn't know my mother. Read the Kritzer books and you will know all about it.
-
For example, what was elmore's chili all about.
-
CRANBERRIES!
-
UNDERPANTS!
-
MADAME BUTTERFLY. Another prostitute-cum-visiting nurse.
-
I love any film score that mixes the film score with Puccini, don't you?
-
http://gortons.com/product/crunchy-breaded-fish-sticks
-
I am very relaxed, so that's good. Except for the eight ounces of tuna pasta salad in the tummy.
-
I think we should all buy Gorton's fish sticks and relive our youths.
-
I love any film score that mixes the film score with Puccini, don't you?
You mean like Andrew Lloyd Webber does?
-
I see KevinH - perhaps he'll join in the merriment and mirth and laughter and legs. Maybe if we talk about the two B's - Brent and Barbra.
-
And Bruce.
-
One of my favorite supporting players of the 40s died earlier this month, at age 97! He had quite a life!
RIP Greg McClure
(I posted this photo of him yesterday on Facebook, but I think it is worth a second look!)
(http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo146/mbarnum/gregmcclure1_zps2d535b7f.jpg)
I can't imagine why he was one of your favorites.
-
That's three B's.
-
Facebook is especially sickening this evening and I will not be checking back in to that sorry place until late tomorrow.
-
No fish sticks were in attendance when I met your mother.
-

Well, the Puccini in this film score is the point - and the music by the composer is equally as ravishing I have to say. I think we have not only the album master to this, but the complete score - the original LP was only thirty-five minutes, and about ten of those minutes are Puccini.
-
I see - elmore left without so much as a chili word. I think a proper bitch-slapping is in order.
-
No fish sticks were in attendance when I met your mother.
They were probably being prepared and served AFTER you left.
-

Thank you, Chas. Those are the ones I was thinking of.
-
I haven't made a chili in a couple of years. This situation needs to be corrected.
I love shopping for it, and spending an entire afternoon cooking it.
-
We've gotten quite a few orders today for the oddest things. And I have to say, the Blu and Ray of Nudie Musical continues to sell regularly. I originally pressed 500 of them and those were all gone last July, which just amazed me. I then printed 500 more and at least 200, maybe more, of those are gone.
-
I see KevinH - perhaps he'll join in the merriment and mirth and laughter and legs. Maybe if we talk about the two B's - Brent and Barbra.
This is a perfect opportunity to encourage everyone to see The Guilt Trip--you'll love it!
-
Page 9!
-
I have never made chili. I have made beef stroganoff but not in at least five years - THAT must be rectified THIS New Year for sure.
-
Perhaps so.
-
I see KevinH - perhaps he'll join in the merriment and mirth and laughter and legs. Maybe if we talk about the two B's - Brent and Barbra.

That's one B down.
-
I can't believe that ancient pelican elmore left without posting. If he's not back and atoning for his wretched behavior I will make him reorchestrate the score to the Danish musical of Cyrano - for free.
-
BUTTOCKS!
-
Puccini again.
-
Spent the day so far doing productive things like paying bills, banking, laundry and transferring items to my new wallet. For fun, I took a pile of winning lottery tickets to the 7-11 and cashed them in. I now have $24 burning a hole in my pocket!
Hmmm, a Hawaii vacation?
-

Okay, Mr. B's show at 54 Below, which was cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy, has been rescheduled to Feb. 20th. Why does it have to be on a Wednesday?

He might have to round up some soda bottles and cans for refund first, DR TCB.
-
Does the pelican still exist? Does it eat fish sticks and wear a chapeau?
-
Does anyone still wear a chapeaux?
-
How are you feeling, TCB? Are you comfortable driving again?
-
This is, as always, the best partay.
-
The errant and truant shall RUE the day, oh, yes, they shall rue the day.
-
One Grecian Urn.
-
Two Grecian Urns.
-
How are you feeling, TCB? Are you comfortable driving again?
When a man is comfortable driving, he is ready to drive to Arleta.
-
Ya wild kid, ya.
-
Great honk!
-
I was thinking of seeing Cheyenne Jackson at the Kennedy Center tonight, but decided not to. I didn't feel like heading back to DC. Of course, if it had been one of the "B's," I wouild have done it.
-
How are you feeling, TCB? Are you comfortable driving again?
When a man is comfortable driving, he is ready to drive to Arleta.
Oh?
-
And then there are the hangers-on - our thirty-three GUESTS. Come on in, the water's fine and you might even get a dark chocolate almond cherry cluster thing or even one fish stick or one Grecian urn.
-
We must all pick a little and talk a little.
-
I was in Arleta recently at the DMV. It is a steaming pit of kishka.
-
I see Ginny.
-
What's at the Kennedy Center?
-
I see a Celt from Dakota.
-
I see page ten.
-
Heading off to work shortly as a person who was to work the overnight is in the hospital with a sinus infection.
I wanted to wish everyone a very happy New YEar! I hope 2013 is a good year for us all!
-
2013 shall be the berries.
-
I was in Arleta recently at the DMV. It is a steaming pit of kishka.
I'm surprised you'd say that, Bruce, given how much you like kishka.
-
2013 shall be aces.
-
I love kishka, but it seemed an apt description of being in Arleta.
-
WEnt out for supper tonight at my favorite Greek restaurant... Very full but darn the food was excellent. I even brought some back because I wanted to save room for dessert!
I had Corfu chicken with potatoes and veggies, an Italian soda and greek coffee...
-
Of course, I shan't be having any kishka at Junior's Deli in the Wood of West and that was the only decent thing on their menu.
-
I see the jernt is rockin'
Have a great party everyone... I will see ya next year. "wink, wink"
-
Glad you had a good time, Dakota.
-
I cannot abide Greek or Indian food. That's just how it is. I can abide mostly everything else, including Ethiopian food and tacos from Jack in the Box.
-
There's hopes that Junior's will reopen in a new location, hopefully not too far from the old location.
-
Now I'm listening to the soundtrack to The Well-Digger's Daughter - very soothing and pretty. Not a masterpiece but for a score of today it's nice to listen to.
-
I wonder if Jack in the Box still has a breakfast sandwich called (I think) the Crescent Supreme. Eggs, ten kinds of meat, several kinds of cheese...
-
Wow, did Audra McDonald pack on a few pounds to play Bess?
-
Ginny left - she and elmore are probably playing Parcheesi.
-
What's at the Kennedy Center?
Cheyenne was appearing with the National Symphony Orchestra for New Year's Eve only, singing songs from the Mad Men era, with guest Nina Arianda.
-
I packed on a few pounds and I didn't play Bess, although I did covet the role.
-
I've never heard of the Crescent Supreme. I know they still have their Breakfast Jack, which I always liked.
-
I have had Ethiopian food... not bad...
-
What's at the Kennedy Center?
Cheyenne was appearing with the National Symphony Orchestra for New Year's Eve only, singing songs from the Mad Men era, with guest Nina Arianda.
Thank you, Kevin.
-
I hope elmore has not become comatose from eating a vat of chili.
-
I packed on a few pounds and should be exiled to Kittiwah Island until they're gone.
-
A Vat of Chili - that's the title of my next novel, which I begin writing in the morning.
-
I like the Ethiopian bread - it's called injera.
-
Speaking of the pounds, today's soup was Butternut Azteca, a slightly southwestern take. Quite tasty.
Today's dessert is...oops.
-
Looks like they have it but it's been cleaned up a bit for today's health-conscious consumer. And they now call it the Supreme Croissant? I believe further investigation may be necessary.
-
I hear some premature fireworks.

Kevin, does Northern Virginia have snow?
-
I mean, at the moment.
-
I'm thinking of seeing Les Miserables tomorrow. I like those morning showings.
-
Kevin, does Northern Virginia have snow?
Nope!
-
I have some nice rib steaks which have been marinating since last night and shrimp for shrimp cocktail and crab cakes and our traditional sweet & spicy cocktail franks
Vixmom, I made a very large casserole of ham and noodles. You are welcome to come over for some. I don't think Vixdad or the Vixter would like it, because I added chopped onion.
-
I gave some friends a copy of season 1 of DOC MARTIN for Christmas. I knew one of them would like it, but wasn't sure about the other. They both loved it. When I first saw it I enjoyed it, but didn't think it'd have universal appeal. Apparently it does. I've been watching it again. I think it's brilliant.
-
Kevin, does Northern Virginia have snow?
Nope!
Too bad. I do miss it.
-
Kevin, does Northern Virginia have snow?
Nope!

You lived here?
-
Bruce must have left to buy fish sticks.
-
Ginny left - she and elmore are probably playing Parcheesi.
Nope, just lost my Internet for a bit.
BK, you have a double working at Barnes & Noble in West Chester, OH. He helped me with a return today and took my order for a nonfat vanilla latte.
-
Kevin, does Northern Virginia have snow?
Nope!

Yes, I lived in Alexandria for about twenty years. I think I had returned to California just before you joined HHW.

How about that! I used to live in the Landmark area, but I guess that's considered the West End.

Had to write a long e-mail response to Juliana Hansen about her CD packaging. She had photos taken and when I saw the packaging (the designer had already told me the photos just weren't good), I pulled the plug on the release until new photos can be taken. She doesn't see it - all she sees is she wants it fast. I don't care about fast. That's how she wanted her act and I don't do fast in regards to acts either. I do things right. And right, unfortunately, when Kritzerland is involved, means the photos have to express what the listener can expect. A perfect example of great photos and a great package that perfectly expresses the CD within is the East Coast Singer's Christmas album. My job is to protect her and have this be a professional-looking package that we can all be proud of. Then it actually serves a purpose other than having something for her to sell at the concerts she occasionally does. Hopefully, in the end, she'll thank me for caring and doing what needs to be done.
-
Yes, people still play Parcheesi - they wear chapeau's when playing and they eat fish sticks. It's very cozy.
-
Ginny left - she and elmore are probably playing Parcheesi.
Nope, just lost my Internet for a bit.

Not in the slightest. He never cracked a smile. BK is much funnier.

I'm coming to your house. If I start walking now, I might make by New Year's 2014.
I'm going to DR Matthew's. But I'll stop at DR vixmom's for a snack on the way.
What is DR Matthew serving?
-
In less than thirty minutes it is time for the East Coast balls to drop. But New Year is not official until midnight our time here in the City of Studio, when the big balls drop. In less than three hours I shall go into the bedroom, turn off the lights, shut the door, and do my contemplation. And then we shall count down to midnight when our collective balls will drop, which is not an image I like at my age.
-
I'm thinking at least fifteen pages tonight.
-
Ben left, too.
-
One thing I was surprised about when I moved to Virginia is that there are independent cities that are not part of a county. For example, Alexandria and Falls Church are cities that are not in a county. Arlington is a county. Then there's Fairfax City, which is not part of Fairfax County.
Fascinating, huh?
-
I need to go to the mailbox. There should be a top in there for me I ordered. I really need it to fit and look great as I am out of options for something to wear to my niece's wedding on the beach.
A bikini?
-
Perhaps Ben and elmore are eating a vat of chili together, playing Parcheesi, and eating fish sticks on the side - the one thing that's apparent is their collective balls will be dropping elsewhere - and I'm jiggy with that, balls dropping-wise.
-
Now I'm listening to the soundtrack of Atlas Shrugged.
-
I like the idea of DRs Ginny and Elmore playing parcheesi. Does anyone still play parcheesi?
I like that idea, too, DR Jeanne!
-
Part II of Atlas Shrugged should be to me on Blu and Ray in February. Can anyone think of another example of a multi-part film where part two features a completely different creative team, composer, and all new cast playing roles that other actors played in part one?

I've come across that in a few places. A genealogist's nightmare, for those who partake in such things.

I hadn't thought of it from that standpoint.
Many people assume, as I had, that ALL cities are part of a county. Many times I'd be asked which county I lived in and, of course, I didn't. "City of Alexandria", as Kevin points out, means "CITY of Alexandria."
-
I suspect it mostly happens in older (as in 200 years old) areas.
-
East Coast balls - get ready.
-
Almost time to drop 'em.

I think I'll prep the champagne bottle so that all I have to do is pop the cork. It has been my custom for the last few years to have one tiny sip of champagne at midnight. I don't like the taste, but I do it. Then the bottle usually sits in the refrigerator until next New Year's, when I discard it and replace it with a fresh bottle.
-
Firecrackers in our neighborhood...
-
We really don't want to end this on Page Twelve, do we?
-
The East Coast will be humiliated if we end our portion on Page Twelve.
-
8 Minutes to go!

Via Facebook, I asked my cousin in Japan about 2013. He said, "So far, so good!"

6!

Ginny, when are you leaving for London?
-
Champagne is prepped.
-
Balls are at the ready on the East Coast.
-
And then we have three hours till the official West Coast New Year's Rockin' Eve balls drop and 2013 really begins.

Happy New Year!
-
Eat, drink, be merry and stick around for a while while we wait for the official start of 2013 in three short hours.
-
I'm thinking fifteen pages.
-
Fifteen pages, I'm thinking.
-
I just heard some sort of fireworks HERE. It's only 9 pm here. Yes, there's more. How funny. I do hope they are fireworks.
-
I got a New Year's e-mail from Zach's Eyetalian Cafe - 25% off the entire meal for the next week - Zach's has been off my radar but I do love it so I will definitely go.
-
I've been very good and not had any further dark chocolate almond cherry cluster things.

elmore must be sitting with chili running out of his ancient pelican mouth instead of joining those he loves and who love him. To which I say, phut.

Happy New Year to all!

I love you all.
-
Since when do the do fireworks on New Year's Eve?
-
TCB is back.
-
But let's try to be festive until midnight our time here on the West Coast - hopefully Laura and Matthew will join us and maybe Kerry.
-
Otherwise it will be a long road to fifteen pages.
-
I wonder if Jeanne has the sand to stay up until midnight.
-
Of course, she could take a nap and then get up just before the balls drop.
-
2013! I hope it will be a lucky year for all !
-
I wonder if Jeanne has the sand to stay up until midnight.
The sand? I thought the Sand Man put sand in your eyes and made you sleep.
-
In any case, I doubt it.
-
But let's try to be festive until midnight our time here on the West Coast - hopefully Laura and Matthew will join us and maybe Kerry.
I only made it to midnight here because of the Starbucks I had at 5 pm!
-
And a very special
(http://i982.photobucket.com/albums/ae305/blueeyed_angel44/zyixkw_thankyoubearrocking.gif)
to BK for opening his home
and sharing his life's lessons with us all.
-
2013! I hope it will be a lucky year for all !
I truly hope so.
-
Well, I guess it's time for me to say goodnight!
Sorry I won't be able to join our West Coasters at midnight, so in advance: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
-
I've never been one for New Year's resolutions, but I do like to think of POSSIBILITIES, ie, things that are doable.
For starters,
A great new, FULL-TIME job for Dakota Celt.
-
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you, too, Kevin.
-
Ginny and DS Richard's trip to London goes swimmingly.
-
TCB gets very good news from the spine clinic.
-
For New Year's, can we all chip in and buy Josh Groban a comb?
-
Ooh, I spy a VIXMOM!
HAPPY NEW YEAR, Vixmom!
-
I packed on a few pounds and I didn't play Bess, although I did covet the role.
And I'm sure you'd have been excellent. In your way.
-
Vixmom wins the lottery, quits her job, and has some money left after helping all the Hurricane Sandy victims.
-
Sand equals grit.
-
I will someday do my all white production of Porgy and Bess. And no one will say boo about it because color-blind casting can't only work one way.
-
The grit that is true.
-
I packed on a few pounds and I didn't play Bess, although I did covet the role.
And I'm sure you'd have been excellent. In your way.
Interesting image, eh?
-
I gotta tell you.
-
Perhaps elmore is eating Rice Krispies.
-
We'll see if Jeanne has the sand to last until midnight.
-
I will have the sand.
-
I AM the sand.
-
Ever shifting and getting in people's toes.
-
the chalice from the palace...
-
I would be a magnificent Bess.
-
Perhaps elmore is eating Rice Krispies.
While playing parcheesi and eating fish sticks? Maybe the Rice Krispies are for dessert.
-
They broke the chalice from the palace!
-
Well, I guess it's time for me to say goodnight!
Sorry I won't be able to join our West Coasters at midnight, so in advance: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Happy New Year, Kevin.
-
Why don't you sing for us?
-
Who would be your Porgy, bk?
-
I have some nice rib steaks which have been marinating since last night and shrimp for shrimp cocktail and crab cakes and our traditional sweet & spicy cocktail franks
Vixmom, I made a very large casserole of ham and noodles. You are welcome to come over for some. I don't think Vixdad or the Vixter would like it, because I addedchooped onion.
chooped onion? My favorite! Much better than chopped
-
Good question.
-
Who is John Galt?
-
Ginny and DS Richard's trip to London goes swimmingly.
Thank you, DR Jeanne!
-
Porgy would be Jason Graae.
-
and HAPPY NEW YEAR from 12;23 EST
-
Ben, of course, is being Ben, of course.
-
And FJL is being FJL.

I gave some friends a copy of season 1 of DOC MARTIN for Christmas. I knew one of them would like it, but wasn't sure about the other. They both loved it. When I first saw it I enjoyed it, but didn't think it'd have universal appeal. Apparently it does. I've been watching it again. I think it's brilliant.
Last year Vixdad received Season 1 - 4 of Doc Martin this year he received Doc martin : The Movies
-
About ninety minutes to contemplation.
-
I think that could be an Outside the Box.
-
Well, page fifteen is here. Anyone for twenty? We haven't done that in a 'coon's age.
-
I've been in London in January, Ginny, and it's COLD. Of course, I was coming from California, whereas you live in the Midwest. You may find it quite balmy.
-
One of the people I saw today was agent David Ankrum. We have two things in common - I played Adam in the Tabitha pilot and he played Adam in the series. I worked on Totally Hidden Video, and he joined the show in its final year.
-
Did some house cleaning (not that anyone would notice), laundry and had a negroni while watching the first half of "Under the Roofs of Paris," a wonderful Rene Clair musical.

Joel McCrea had the sand.

The Weather Channel app shows London 15-20 degrees warmer than it's been here recently. I have a fabulous new coat with a quilted zip-out lining that can be worn as a coat itself.
-
Vixmom has the sand, but where in tarnation is the Vixter?
-
I think that could be an Outside the Box.
Oh, yes! Inappropriate casting! (Or appropriate.)

I have received a plethora of enticing e-mail offers today, none of which I've accepted.

We have the sands of time. Enough to last us a coon's age.

Happy New Year, Everybody!
Have a wonderful time Ginny! Vixdad was born and raised in Coventry and Vixgrandad born and raised in Norwich - his family moved to Coventry during the war when HIS Dad was given a choice of joining the army or driving a bus in Coventry - they were considered equally hazardous occupations
-
The all-white Porgy and Bess was going to be a first season Outside the Box episode - I wrote it and it was planned and I'd talked to Jason Daniely and Marin Mazzie about doing it. But I finally had to not do it because using the actual Gershwin music, which would have been a must, would have been problematic. I had a great version of the show's big duet, Bess You Are My Woman Now.
-
Since when do the do fireworks on New Year's Eve?
well for at least the last 53 years on the Island of Long ( before that I was too little) of course they are strictly illegal here but no one seems to notice
-
Sorry to wuss, but I have a LOT to do tomorrow - 'night!
-
Perhaps elmore is eating a cookie whilst dancing naked to the score of Whoop-Up.
-
I would love to have heard a rousing rendition of "It Isn't Necessarily So!"
-
FJL is probably writing a parody of one of his parodies.
-
Vixmom wins the lottery, quits her job, and has some money left after helping all the Hurricane Sandy victims.

I'm sure you'll be quite comfortable. The dampness does make a difference, though. When I was there one Aoril--in Weybridge, actually--I bought a couple Shetland wool pullovers and didn't need my winter coat. April is still cold to a Californian.
-
Thank you, DR Vixmom! We'll be in Norwich for a week beginning on Sunday.
-
I want the VIxter here - surely Vixmom did not let her daughter go out and get roaring drunk.
-
And where's dear reader Sandra and Laura.
-
Still, we're havin' us a TIME!
-
And we've got us thirty-eight GUESTS.

My new coat is water-resistant and has a hood. With layers underneath, I wonder if I'll need the lining.

Laura is here and best stay for the duration, baby. And Sandra ought to post some pithy pronouncements, too.

My flesh has gone the way of all the other flesh.

I've gone the way of all fish sticks.

When does all that Gershwin music go public? He died, what?, 90 or so years ago.

Thanks to all the copyright extensions, not for a while, I'm afraid.

right here in the town where I live - but MY Mommy packed my lunch every day - in fact I never had a school lunch until high school and then only rarely when I traded my home made lunch for someone else's school lunch
-
I'm very relaxed.

Happy New Year to All and to All a Good Night!

I remember plenty of olive-nut sandwiches, except there were no nuts, just olives and cream cheese and homemade bread.
-
My mother occasionally made me lunch for school, especially grammar school - the usual peanut butter, tuna fish, cheese, bologna, turkey, plus chips and fruit things. I enjoyed that for a while. I never had a thermos or a lunch box. I came with a brown paper bag with my name on it. But after grammar school I began doing the school cafeteria or what they called the hash lines - I kind of liked the cafeteria food in its own way. It was fun to move around the plate.
-
I never had an olive on a sandwich until the Subway.
-
Who is John Galt?
-
Is JohnG John Galt?
-
I had a Bonanza lunch box. It had a yellow background, as I recall. No thermos either.

NO.

Thank you, Laura. Those pix made my night.

Two people asked for the recipe. LOL.
-
I can see the fireworks through my curtains.
-
Last time we assembled it at home and tried to move it. Bad idea.
-
I just want the cherry pie layer.
-
Send some our way - and tell dear reader Sandra to EAT that thing - she could use a few pounds on her. I'll donate some of mine.
-
Dinner went very well - and then the three of us played a board game ' Arabian Nights"
-
at 11:59 we turned on the Tee Vee to watch the ball drop in Times Square
-
I remember plenty of olive-nut sandwiches, except there were no nuts, just olives and cream cheese and homemade bread.
No wonder you became a food critic.

peanut butter and butter and grape jelly on white bread
-
stuffing and cold gravy sandwiches
-
tunafish on rye
-
Grape jelly is beginners jelly!
-
What a sad, sweet movie "Under the Roofs of Paris" is. Nothing like the musicals coming out of Hollywood at the same time.
-
meatloaf on white
-
creamcheese and strawberry jelly on white
-
I don't recall having peanut butter sandwiches in my lunches when I was a kid. And never tuna fish.
-
Somebody's ball is about to drop!
-
Was DR Chas here when HHW introduced the cherpumple to the public? After all, it's not exactly well known.
-
No one here in the Central time zone?
-
Happy New Year!
-
Grape jelly is beginners jelly!
ah peanut butter MUST have grape jelly
-
Was DR Chas here when HHW introduced the cherpumple to the public? After all, it's not exactly well known.
No. I'm only picking up on the thing this very week.
-
Yes, meatloaf - my mother made a great meatloaf and those were lunchtime sandwiches I loved. I haven't had a meatloaf meal in, I don't know, thirty years.
-
No one here in the Central time zone?
Aren't Ohio and Iowa central time?
-
For those who care:

The best part is the big thud it makes when it lands on the plate.
-
Grape jelly is beginners jelly!
ah peanut butter MUST have grape jelly
No. Not in the least. Homemade raspberry, maybe apricot.
-
I ate nothing but grape jelly for years. It was only much later that I discovered boysenberry jelly, which I loved, and then cherry jelly, which I also enjoy.
-
Yes, meatloaf - my mother made a great meatloaf and those were lunchtime sandwiches I loved. I haven't had a meatloaf meal in, I don't know, thirty years.
I make a nice meatloaf (if I do say so myself)- and the Vixter does a good job too
-
Yes, meatloaf - my mother made a great meatloaf and those were lunchtime sandwiches I loved. I haven't had a meatloaf meal in, I don't know, thirty years.
I hadn't had in ages, until I made it for dinner tonight.
-
My mother's meatloaf was one of the three or four best things she ever made. I have the recipe somewhere, and made it once. It's all beef, not a mixture.
Interesting, too, how leftover meatloaf sandwiches call for plain old white bread.
-
I will occasionally make a meal out of multiple pieces of rye toast with butter and various jellies - or English Muffins with butter and various jellies. I'm getting hungry now.
-
IIRC, we had some photos once of the whole cherpumple process. Quite interesting.
-
I LOVE meatloaf. One of the things I miss most about the cholesterol diet.
-
Grape jelly is beginners jelly!

No. Not in the least. Homemade raspberry, maybe apricot.
nope, you're wrong. It MUST be grape - I am pretty sure it is a law or something
:)

Yes, all beef in our house. I only remember her mashing up the ground beef with egg - she'd put some onions in, and ketchup, too, I think - certainly on the top. I should make it one of these days. I really think that's all she did to it.
-
Been there, done that, with the breads (toast) and various jellies.
-
What a partay - this is one of our best. I'd imagine elmore is still eating his chili, being a curmudgeon about something, and perhaps drinking soda water.
-
Ah, I see Laura posted it. You MUST watch it, Chas.
-
I want meat loaf now.
-
I ate nothing but grape jelly for years. It was only much later that I discovered boysenberry jelly, which I loved, and then cherry jelly, which I also enjoy.
I like different kinds of jellies - especially on a nice toasted Ritz cracker witha dab of cream cheese on it
-
I have never had a meat loaf in a restaurant that I've liked. I have had restaurant meat loaf in the past thirty years - just not homemade.
-
A little sage, too, in the meatloaf. I remember that because it was how I first learned about sage.
-
Twenty pages, here we come!
-
I first learned about sage from Simon and Garfunkel.
-
Will we never get to page fifteen?
Boy, were you wrong!
-
I feel there is no stopping us tonight and soon we will be the most popular site on all the Internet.
-
my meatloaf is all beef too- with an egg, Italian seasoned bread crumbs, an envelope of Liptons beefy onion soup (dissolved in a small amount of boiling water until the onions are rehydrated) and some beef stock in the pan - I form my meatloaf into a laof nbut do not cook it in a loaf pan - I cook it in a roast pan so the top gets nice and brown
-
Watching the video.
I have that turquoise Sunbeam Mixmaster.
-
Does any other site do an online partay?
-
I just received an e-mail offer for a testosterone boost. I don't need the boost, I need the damn testosterone - at least I think I do. But not as much as I need meat loaf.
-
Let's all get out our Chop-o-Matics and chop something.
-
Those vintage stoves are things of beauty.
-
I first learned about sage from Simon and Garfunkel.

I'm sure other sites have tried to imitate our partay - after all, they've certainly ripped off everything else we do here.

I love the first part of HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN, especially the songs. However, once he meets up with the ballerina and her husband, I truly despise the rest of the film. [SPOILER ALERT!] When Farley Granger locks Danny Kaye in the closet, and leaves him there so that he misses the ballet, I just about lose it. And then the ballerina and her husband laugh it off. [END OF SPOILER ALERT] That is when the whole film becomes nasty, meanspirited, humiliating, and Yes, even smarmy.
Other than that, the film is fine. And it is a dumb ballet.
Farley Granger locking Danny Kaye in a closet. Now there's a sentence Freud could have fun with.
And Laurence Olivier was not in the closet with him.
-
I think you mean choop something.
-
Did you know how prescient Stephen Schwartz was? In Pippin he wrote the following line in No Time at All: Now sages tweet that age is sweet. He predicted Twitter forty years before it came into existence. Pretty good.
-
Ocean's Eleven is on the TV- the Frank Sinatra one
-
Mine was the Moroccan meatloaf I had mentioned earlier. It had ground ginger in the beef with breadcrumbs, ketchup, cumin and cinnamon. The sauce on top had ketchup, lemon juice, a touch of chiles and garlic. It was surprisingly good.
Mom's was always dry, despite a cross of bacon cooked on it, so it wasn't my favorite as a kid. But then again, meat was always cooked until dead done when I was growing up. They still eat it that way. When I cook for them, I take my portion out about 20 minutes before theirs.
-
I'm assuming that once the closet is unlocked, Danny comes out.
-
I think you mean choop something.
for that you need the Choop-o-matic
-
See, I don't think my mother used breadcrumbs.
-
Would that be like the dreaded Choop-a-cabra?

-
Forty-five minutes to contemplation.
-
See, I don't think my mother used breadcrumbs.
you need the bread crumbs if you add the egg and the soup or else it is too wet to hold together
-
Mine was not a bread crumb thing, I'm pretty sure. So maybe it didn't have the egg? Well, we'll find out soon enough.
-
TWENTY!!!!!!!!

Did I mention yesterday that I spent the afternoon with Sharon? We had a great time
Only that you planned to. A great time, fantastic!
I stayed about 3 hours or so. In her words she's not doing "great" she's doing very good and is getting better all the time. She won't be doing great until she can walk out and go home. That should be in a couple weeks. We talked and talked and talked. It was really fun.

Did you know how prescient Stephen Schwartz was? In Pippin he wrote the following line in No Time at All: Now sages tweet that age is sweet. He predicted Twitter forty years before it came into existence. Pretty good.
I didn't know herbs could tweet on twitter
You know, they allow anyone these days.

Yes, I left the egg out of my rundown of ingredients. Cilantro, too.

I love the first part of HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN, especially the songs. However, once he meets up with the ballerina and her husband, I truly despise the rest of the film. [SPOILER ALERT!] When Farley Granger locks Danny Kaye in the closet, and leaves him there so that he misses the ballet, I just about lose it. And then the ballerina and her husband laugh it off. [END OF SPOILER ALERT] That is when the whole film becomes nasty, meanspirited, humiliating, and Yes, even smarmy.
Other than that, the film is fine. And it is a dumb ballet.
Farley Granger locking Danny Kaye in a closet. Now there's a sentence Freud could have fun with.
And Laurence Olivier was not in the closet with him.

Happy New Year's Eve! I had a wonderful afternoon and got to meet 5 great kids that I helped come to the USA from Somalia via Kenya. They gave me thank you cards and a beautiful shawl/scarf. We all met at an ice cream shop and had a great time. They are some of the nicest and most polite kids (4th grade-10th grade) that I've ever met. It was a joy to spend time with them
That sounds wonderful!
It was wonderful. I may post a photo tomorrow, haven't decided. I didn't ask them if it was ok if I shared the photos, but they wanted them and I sent them all the photos I took, so I think they may be sharing them, so it's probably ok
-
Someone's in the closet I know oh oh oh
-
She didn't use soup in the meatloaf - my memory is we mooshed together the ground beef with egg and onions and ketchup - I helped occasionally to do the mooshing and my memory is pretty good. I simply never remember bread crumbs or soup.

Twenty-five pages anyone?

DR Cillaliz, you seem to have had a lovely stay-cation!
It's been great. Interestingly every day since I didn't get the judicial position, I've run into one of my clients who has gone out of his or her way to tell me thank you. It's been so cool and makes me thankful I didn't get the job and can continue doing what I'm doing
-
I'm very relaxed.

And I haven't had another dark chocolate almond cherry cluster thing.

Well, that movie "49th Parallel" that I watched the other day had the most peculiar opening. A very gay eskimo is talking to a trapper about another trapper who turns out to be Laurence Olivier. The first shot we see of Laurence is of him in a bathtub, grabbing some sort of animal skin that he proceeds to rub between his legs. Then he stands up and plays the rest of the scene (shot from the waist up) as he's dripping wet. The gay eskimo just titters in the background. But then they beat up Nazis -- or try to, at least.

I see KevinH - perhaps he'll join in the merriment and mirth and laughter and legs. Maybe if we talk about the two B's - Brent and Barbra.
This is a perfect opportunity to encourage everyone to see The Guilt Trip--you'll love it!
That's one B down.
Okay, Mr. B's show at 54 Below, which was cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy, has been rescheduled to Feb. 20th. Why does it have to be on a Wednesday?
Because the 21 is a Thursday.

I was thinking of seeing Cheyenne Jackson at the Kennedy Center tonight, but decided not to. I didn't feel like heading back to DC. Of course, if it had been one of the "B's," I wouild have done it.
Hell, with the money you have paid to see them, they should show up at your house.

I thought it was a word problem - like if you have three apples and John has three pears how many fruit tarts can you make?
I say TCB gets an A+

Oy! And I was just about to post that I am beginning to fade.
1:30 here, and I have a New Year's Day Do to go to tomorrow .... in Brooklyn.

I wonder if Jack in the Box still has a breakfast sandwich called (I think) the Crescent Supreme. Eggs, ten kinds of meat, several kinds of cheese...
Yes, they do, but I think they changed the name.

No fading on New Year's Eve!

We don't have any Jack In the Box restaurants here anymore we had quite a few in the 70's and early 80's but they all closed when they had that salmonella problem and a couple of kids died - I didn't know the chain still existed at all
-
While I was typing that simple six word sentence, I received five spam e-mails.
-
Someone around here just set off a firework.
-
Jack in the Box is everywhere in California.
-
No fading on New Year's Eve!
oh stop living in the past! That statement is so 2012!!

:):):)

I hear some premature fireworks.
Premature fireworks. Reminds me of my youth. Which you can all read about in my next book, SVEN KRITZER.

She's totally beat the infection, just lots of rehab. She still may lose a toe or two, but the color is starting to come back so she may still save them

It seems to be alive and well in California.
In fact, the first one I ever went to is still there, looking the same!
(Fairfax, across from the May Company building and just north of Johnnie's -- which I actually ate in.)

DR Cillaliz, you seem to have had a lovely stay-cation!
It's been great. Interestingly every day since I didn't get the judicial position, I've run into one of my clients who has gone out of his or her way to tell me thank you. It's been so cool and makes me thankful I didn't get the job and can continue doing what I'm doing

That's exactly how I'm taking it!

Wow, Jeanne has the sand so far.

Color me impressed or, for KevinH, color me Barbra.

We're over six hundred postings, I think.

You can tell everyone at the Do what a cherpumple is. They'll be amazed. Awestruck. Dumbfounded. maybe some other words, too.

Twenty Two!
Room for one more, honey.

And page twenty-two.

We've gone the way of all flesh.

Love that movie, "The World, The Flesh, and the Cherpumple".

I went to a very nice NYE party tonight. We had a very funny white elephant exchange. I got a definite white elephant. It was one of those pillow photo albums with a needle point thingy on the front. I kept the box so it will be easy to take it next year. I'm thinking about filling it with photos of some sort.
-
The food was great, but it was missing something......I think it was the cherpumple
-
It's been 2013 for 40 minutes here.....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
-
I came home from the party a little early. I was tired was ready to be home. I like to be here when fireworks go off

Now I'm listening to the soundtrack of Atlas Shrugged.
I hope Ayn Rand didn't write the music.
-
I seem to be fading
-
tomorrow I have no plans. I have things to do around the house, but no big plans
-
Although I think Paul may want to go see Les Miz. If he does I'll go again
-
I started watching Downton Abbey last night. I'm starting with episode 1 of season 1. Maybe if I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow I'll do a marathon
-
I SO want to make Frosty the Cheeseball Man next year.
-
I also watched the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel last night. I really liked it
-
I think I'll prep the champagne bottle so that all I have to do is pop the cork. It has been my custom for the last few years to have one tiny sip of champagne at midnight. I don't like the taste, but I do it. Then the bottle usually sits in the refrigerator until next New Year's, when I discard it and replace it with a fresh bottle.
Thank you. I kept meaning to ask you what you did with the rest of the bottle.
-
I SO want to make Frosty the Cheeseball Man next year.
That would be so funny!
-
I wrote some of tomorrow's notes to get a head start so I don't post them too too late.
-
And shortly I shall go do the contemplation thing.
-
I am really fading now. Just not enough sand, I guess.
HAPPY 2013, EVERYONE!
-
It's hard to tell if there are gunshots or fireworks.
-
I think I'll start it a little after eleven so that I finish closer to eleven-thirty.
-
No fading allowed!
-
I heard lots of fireworks here. The cats usually handle it pretty well, but I still like to be here
-
I'm guessing elmore is doing the dance of the seven veils whilst rolling around in chili.
-
Hope they are fireworks, Laura
-
Haven't heard any fireworks since that one little thing.
-
Don't think I'll make it to Midnight Pacific time, but I can make it to Midnight Mountain time..
-
TWENTY THREE!!!!
-
This is funny. I posted "Good night' and was suddenly logged off.
-
Woo and Hoo that's a good way to start 2013
-
Now I am apparently listening to JOLLY HOLIDAY from PIPE DREAM/
-
I think I only have one 2013 calendar. I may have to go shopping
-
This is actually our largest posting month since February of 2011. Who knew?
-
I am not going to make it to the West coast new year
-
I'm watching house hunters. WHere do these people get all the money they do to buy these houses
-
Although it is the New Year in Nevada according to Sammy Davis Jr
-
Well, seeing how I've never heard gunshots in this neighborhood, I am assuming it is fireworks. I hope they quit after our midnight -- and not continue on until California's midnight.
-
I will someday do my all white production of Porgy and Bess. And no one will say boo about it because color-blind casting can't only work one way.
I have already suggested that our local theater do an all-white RAISIN IN THE SUN.
My idea was voted down.
-
sorry all I amgoing to bed --- night all!!!
-
Midnight.
-
Happy New Year DR Laura!!
-
It's only an hour away.
-
The neighbor kids are banging on pots. Just like DR Sandra used to do when she was a little girl. I would send her over to the neighbor we didn't like to make noise.
-
Good Night
-
I have some nice rib steaks which have been marinating since last night and shrimp for shrimp cocktail and crab cakes and our traditional sweet & spicy cocktail franks
Vixmom, I made a very large casserole of ham and noodles. You are welcome to come over for some. I don't think Vixdad or the Vixter would like it, because I added chopped onion.
chooped onion? My favorite! Much better than chopped
What are you talking about, Vixmoom.
-
Hey, we've got a partay goin' on.
-
Boy, New Year's Eve must be the busy spam season - I've gotten about fifty since our little partay began.
-
I nuke them and one minute later five more show up.
-
Porgy would be Jason Graae.
ROTFLMAO ;D ;D
-
Well, I guess I'll go do my contemplation thing.
-
One of the people I saw today was agent David Ankrum. We have two things in common - I played Adam in the Tabitha pilot and he played Adam in the series. I worked on Totally Hidden Video, and he joined the show in its final year.
Are you friends?
-
Okay, okay, I confess!
I like fish sticks.
-
Happy New Year to All and to All a Good Night!
Happy New year to you and your husband, Ant!!
Speaking of that, it is so strange all of my gay friends that have gotten married this month.

Grape jelly is beginners jelly!
ah peanut butter MUST have grape jelly
No. Not in the least. Homemade raspberry, maybe apricot.
nope, you're wrong. It MUST be grape - I am pretty sure it is a law or something
:)
That was the 13th Commandment.

My mother's meatloaf was one of the three or four best things she ever made. I have the recipe somewhere, and made it once. It's all beef, not a mixture.
Interesting, too, how leftover meatloaf sandwiches call for plain old white bread.
Yes, all beef in our house. I only remember her mashing up the ground beef with egg - she'd put some onions in, and ketchup, too, I think - certainly on the top. I should make it one of these days. I really think that's all she did to it.
No bread peices or oatmeal for filler?
-
Ankrum and I are Facebook friends and we kind of bonded today. He represents Heather Lee so he'll be coming to the Kritzerland show next Sunday.
-
Can we make page twenty-five?
-
Perhaps if we all got the way of all flesh, but it seems it's just me and TCB now.
-
Maybe Laura and Jeanne will be back for the big balls drop.
-
my meatloaf is all beef too- with an egg, Italian seasoned bread crumbs, an envelope of Liptons beefy onion soup (dissolved in a small amount of boiling water until the onions are rehydrated) and some beef stock in the pan - I form my meatloaf into a laof nbut do not cook it in a loaf pan - I cook it in a roast pan so the top gets nice and brown
A laof nbut? And you mock me for chooped?
-
What, is this whole page going to be me?
-
Thank goodness TCB isn't WUSSBURGERING. We're only twenty-five minutes away from balls dropping.
-
I just received an e-mail offer for a testosterone boost. I don't need the boost, I need the damn testosterone - at least I think I do. But not as much as I need meat loaf.
Testosterone makes your meat loaf.
-
Getting excited for the balls dropping.
-
Should I have another dark chocolate almond cherry cluster thing? I'm trying very hard not to.

I love the first part of HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN, especially the songs. However, once he meets up with the ballerina and her husband, I truly despise the rest of the film. [SPOILER ALERT!] When Farley Granger locks Danny Kaye in the closet, and leaves him there so that he misses the ballet, I just about lose it. And then the ballerina and her husband laugh it off. [END OF SPOILER ALERT] That is when the whole film becomes nasty, meanspirited, humiliating, and Yes, even smarmy.
Other than that, the film is fine. And it is a dumb ballet.
Farley Granger locking Danny Kaye in a closet. Now there's a sentence Freud could have fun with.
And Laurence Olivier was not in the closet with him.
someone's in the closet with Danny
Well, that movie "49th Parallel" that I watched the other day had the most peculiar opening. A very gay eskimo is talking to a trapper about another trapper who turns out to be Laurence Olivier. The first shot we see of Laurence is of him in a bathtub, grabbing some sort of animal skin that he proceeds to rub between his legs. Then he stands up and plays the rest of the scene (shot from the waist up) as he's dripping wet. The gay eskimo just titters in the background. But then they beat up Nazis -- or try to, at least.
Well, I beat up Nazis.

I honk for meat loaf.

I may have to try and make a meat loaf this week - do you bake it in a Pyrex dish? Or something else?

Sixteen minutes to 2013.

Very excited here in the City of Studio.

We have halted the fall off the fiscal cliff!

Here's to the best New Year and a GREAT 2013!

One minute to 2013.

Thirty seconds to 2013.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Happy New Year!
-
Wow, getting the champagne bottle uncorked was hard but I finally got it done, had my sip, toasted in the New Year.
-
I may have to try and make a meat loaf this week - do you bake it in a Pyrex dish? Or something else?
You can, or in a loaf pan.
-
Now to finish the notes.
-
They have finished shooting the fireworks off of the Space Needle.
-
Well, I believe my work here is done.
Happy New Year, BK. Thank you for another lively gathering. WUSSBURGERS NOT INCLUDED
G'night!
