And the word of the day is: ZIGGURAT!
Listening to some Elaine Paige in preparation seeing her in concert on Monday and then getting a chance to meet her afterwards. I think this is a big coup for the cabaret series that I subscribe to.
PS
DR ArnoldMBrockman also attends the same series and day as I do.
I received a message this morning that I got third place in the Oscar contest at the local movie theater! I didn't think I did that well, lol. So I get a $20 gift certificate. That means I've been in the top 3 for the past 3 years. That's coolCongratulations!
Well, I survived a 30-minute walk around the basement...
Since I liked IRONMAN and CAPTAIN AMERICA - I went ahead and purchased some used BluRay copies of THOR and THE AVENGERS.....

I have had a parade of non-stop visitors this morning and there's still one to come, then I'll go have some matzo ball soup to tide me over till dinner. Tape guy, helper, local dealer...Matzo ball soup sounds heavenly today.
So, last night I was registering for the AAUW/Ohio state convention, which is being held in Newark, OH, early next month. The "group rate" at the hotel is $90/night, including breakfast. By just going to the hotel website and asking for an AARP rate I got a room, not including breakfast, for $68/night. That's gotta be SOME breakfast they're providing to people who pay the group rate...

DR CILLA LIZ thanks for sharing your thoughts.....there were many things you wrote that I did not know about RE: The Jury. Very interesting.

Congrats, Cillaliz! Maybe next year you can tell us your choices and we can enter contests and win, too! ;)
I mentioned the Blu-ray of "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" earlier and I just noticed that as well as the original French language track it also inludes an English language dubbed version. I saw the film in French when it had its originally theatrical release and never even knew that there was a dubbed version. I watched a few minutes of it to check it out and it's one of the most inept examples of dubbing I've ever heard. Hardly any attempt is made to match the voices to the actors mouth movements - dialogue is often heard when actors aren't moving their lips and conversely lips move with no sound coming from them - an awful way to watch the film.

Quiet today.
DR JANE I have never been able to watch THE THIRD MAN all the way through.....but I think we are in the minority. The only score that irritates me more is the lone harmonica score for DONDI.....
The actress on Facebook who has twice told us all she was leaving Facebook, but who never leaves, has now announced she's back and anyone who doesn't like it can unfriend her. What is with these needy people? Go if you're going to go, stay if you're going to stay, but these immature games only make people look really foolish. I have to bite my tongue not to respond, although I may.
DR CILLA LIZ thanks for sharing your thoughts.....there were many things you wrote that I did not know about RE: The Jury. Very interesting.
Sorry I was E & T for most of yesterrday, I had to go back up to the U of W Spinal Clinic in Seattle.
Two years ago I won free passes for up to 4 people for a year. After that year they never offered that prize again, lol. Now first place gets $100 gift cert. I think Second gets $50 and third gets $20.I received a message this morning that I got third place in the Oscar contest at the local movie theater! I didn't think I did that well, lol.

Didn't you win tickets last year, too, DR Cillaliz?
My 18 year old nephew from Minnesota is coming for a visit. He will be here on Sunday and leaves Friday late morning. We are prepped and ready. He loves Phantom so we are seeing that show and then whatever else happens. If the weather is nice we will walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. We will probably take the Staten Island Ferry so he can see the Statue of Liberty (instead of going to Liberty Island). The Ferry is the easiest way to see the SOL. You don't have to pay for the trip to Liberty Island and wait in lines. We have done this for many guests and they enjoy the relaxing boat ride and the view of the Statue. We will tour Times Square, our neighborhood and other areas. We will probably also go to the
Forbes Galleries (http://www.forbesgalleries.com/)
as well. It's in our neighborhood. It's a small, free museum featuring the eclectic collections of Malcolm Forbes, including toy soldiers, Faberge eggs, autographs and other ephemera. It's a wonderful space and it's not well known so it's rarely crowded.

The closing segment of tonight's CBS 6:30 news was a wonderful story about an 89 year-old illiterate man in Oklahoma who wanted to read. The story dealt with the fact that he finally found a marvelous teacher who broke through his reading problems, and he's now read three 3rd-grade level books. It was quite touching.
Well here is something for the person who has everything, a doll of one of the creatures from THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH.
Who knew?

SOUTHLAND was treading water this week.....but it's still a good show.
Lovely photos on DR LAURA's blog....and congrats to DR TCB on his millstone.
Well, I survived a 30-minute walk around the basement...
Very sorry to hear about Bonnie - lovely person - saw her last when she came to one of the Kritzerland shows at the Gardenia.
Seffner, which I fortunately missed when I first read the story. He was south of DR Danise.

Some of these cast/show recording sites has the stupidest folk! There a person who uses all three names who once worked for Rodgers & Hammerstein and pontificates about everything R&H; curiously, the few who remember him there think he's a total loser; there's the critic for FANFARE magazine who knows zilch about anything and pontificates on his stupidity at the drop of a hat, and the list goes on. Oy!Amen.

That is a sad story and oh so strange.
Another odd story about justice in Phoenix today:
http://www.azfamily.com/news/Alleged-naked-carjacker-withdraws-plea-deal--194400541.html
They withdrew the plea deal because a couple of the VICTIMS had prior felonies?
We did not like THE THIRD MAN and I found the music extremely annoying.
You may have seen the recut American version. I think the British version is the better cut. But if one doesn't like the movie it won't matter which version you saw
And interesting side note about the Third Man
There was a radio series that starred the villain of the story and made him a hero.
Won't mention who it is in case someone wants to see the film.
Work is wonderful again. I'm finely away from that horrible boss. It's so nice to be in with a group of humans who laugh and talk to one another. The day goes by so fast--and we still get our work done. Wonderful sigh~
We are all glad to hear you are ok. So sad about your house, though. I guess Angie's List got the good publicity at the time, even though nothing ever came of it.
DR DANISE, VIBES YOUR COMMENTS ON AC'S FB PAGE GATHER SOME ATTENTION & ACTION!!!!I hope a lot of people post comments on it.

Thanks. I know--it was really hard over Christmas when I had people asking me how I was enjoying the new kitchen and W/D and when I said I never got either that they felt so sorry for me because I got used. I had one guy that stopped by my desk every day and asked if Angie's List had started on my house yet. It was funny at first (I kept saying soon) and then as the year went by it stopped being funny. Then the AC jokes started about how he's a reporter that couldn't follow up on a story from his own show.
It's gotten to point where I'm just embarrassed. I feel like such a fool and I've run out of excuses for why nothing started. I can only agree with what everyone else says about it. Turner got what he wanted (my money), Angies List got the publicity and the AC show got a feel good moment for their show. If Frigidare hadn't come though with the money, I wouldn't have gotten a thing out of it. And even then it wasn't what I was told.
They said they would pay the taxes on the money but when I had my takes done the other night, it turns out they didn't. If I didn't claim zero and have ten dollars out of each check, I would have been hung with an unexpected two thousand dollar tax bill. As it is my total return is twelve dollars.
DR DANISE, VIBES YOUR COMMENTS ON AC'S FB PAGE GATHER SOME ATTENTION & ACTION!!!!
Danise which AC page did you comment on? I'll go add a comment to it to get a discussion started if you think that will help
Danise, you have nothing to be embarrassed about. They should make it right. Maybe you need a lawyer to help you. I'm actually serious about that.
We had snow here in Phoenix last week, Danise. Not at MY house, but around town in some places.
I hope all DR's who use facebook will comment. If Anderson said he would follow up he should have, even if he couldn't make something happen.
DR Danise.....Wishing you a bit of snow.

I forgot that's where you are, DR Laura. There is a big Sci Fi con that is going to have many of the Babylon 5 cast there in May. I was kicking around the idea of going until the tax thing happened.

Thanks Jane. I don't think anything will happen but like I said, I just felt like I couldn't let the date go by and not say SOMETHING.

I have the producer's name/email but I sent him an email back when the show came back on for the 2nd season and that was last year. He didn't sound interested any more. You know the show is canceled and won't be back for a 3rd season?DR DANISE, VIBES YOUR COMMENTS ON AC'S FB PAGE GATHER SOME ATTENTION & ACTION!!!!
I don't get it. AC or Angie's list should have done something. It's not right for them to have you on the show and not follow through with what they said they would do. Isn't there someone from AC show you could call (whoever you were in contact with originally?)
DR Danise if they said they would pay the taxes then isn't there some way to follow up with that too?I sent them an email but no reply.

I sent an email about it to Anderson Cooper's CNN 360 show and said I was trying to Keep HIM Honest.Oh wow.
I'm planning on giving it another day or so and then post on their facebook page.DR Danise if they said they would pay the taxes then isn't there some way to follow up with that too?I sent them an email but no reply.
Do you have any other way to contact them? keep calling until they answer!

I received a message this morning that I got third place in the Oscar contest at the local movie theater! I didn't think I did that well, lol. So I get a $20 gift certificate. That means I've been in the top 3 for the past 3 years. That's cool
Pretty good! Congratulations!
$20 is still good!
We have some interesting movie specials here. On cereal boxes there are coupons for free movie tickets in feb, or 2 for 1 for march-may. This is pretty good because tuesdays are $5.99. So you can do 2 for that price.
And the taco boxes have free movie snacks coupons.

Are taco boxes similar to the taco shells we use in America? ;)
Thank you all for your help but don't be disappointed if nothing happens because I don't think it will. And I don't mean that as a downer--just a statement of fact.
I got an auto email back from the Anderson Cooper 360 site indicating that they don't respond to every email, but every email is read. So maybe that's another way to get a message through to Anderson. It will go through staffers, but I would think maybe one of them would bring it to his attention.Sounds good.

Well actually the boxes of tacos come with tacos, taco seasonings, and salsa. And then with the snack coupon i can get my favorite snack (peanut butter m&ms) for free.

Maybe nothing will happen. But it's better to try and see if we can get the show to respond. It's great for them to have good intentions. But they need to honor what they promised.

~~~CONTINUED VIBES FOR DR TCB!!!~~~
I hate to say this but I was watching a video with Michael Ball and he is getting to be a big star. Like Elvis. And I don't mean in popularity. ;)He didn't like the artificial padding in his Edna Turnblad costume for "Hairspray." So, he decided to create his own.
LOL. I'm shouldn't be talking. I've packed on some pounds as well but with as active as he is, it was a surprise.I hate to say this but I was watching a video with Michael Ball and he is getting to be a big star. Like Elvis.

Hi all,
I hope that everyone is doing well.
I just wanted to let you all know that the sink hole your hearing about is within about 5 miles of me but the dogs and I are fine.
The tornado that hit in downtown Tampa this week was close to where I work. I could have seen it out of the office window but didn't know about it until I got home from work.
Hard to believe it was a year ago to day that I was on the AC show. I posted on AC's show Facebook page that it's been a year and I have no photos to share because nothing has been done. I think that Angies List had good intentions but just didn't have the money or manpower to really do anything. I can't understand for the life of me why they would go on national TV and say they were going to help someone and then not do it. I can kind of understand about the room for washer and drier but when I went on the show the focus was the kitchen. It doesn't make sense that they didn't have a plan in place to at least do that.
Work is wonderful again. I'm finely away from that horrible boss. It's so nice to be in with a group of humans who laugh and talk to one another. The day goes by so fast--and we still get our work done. Wonderful sigh~

I think I mistakenly put in a Mikey movie tonight. Athena, with Jane Powell and a Martin and Blane score. Most of the way through the movie a beefcake-laden Mr. Universe show is included. It was like the Li'l Abner photo he posted yesterday.
