BTW, two ridiculous dreams -- the first at one in the morning and the other at five or so -- so scant wonder I didn't try too hard to get back to sleep.  In the first, I had gone insane or at least suffered some kind of breakdown.  The results were to prove quite embarrassing.  In the second, which was more vague, someone else had gone insane.  Or something. 

So you see what a night I had.  Oy!

Last night's dreams were vivid: Kim Criswell, John Wilson and his orchestra, a London concert in which I played trumpet.  The last had something to so with a dormitory situation, accusatiomns of stealing a Rolex, Jason Graae, Kim, and an air plane.

The best thing about today being Thursday is that there is a double eviction in the Big Brother house tonight.

And another good thing is that the second Project Runway episode of the new season airs tonight.

Both air at the same time.

Both will be recorded.

I think I would have sent the OTHER of the two last place contestants home....but they were both terrible.

I don't really have a favorite yet....it's very early.....but it seems like a rather lackluster bunch.....maybe there will be some standouts tonight.

As to the designer who was kicked off:  it raises the ancient question - Do the designers really have to do their own sewing in real life?
Title: Re: YOU HAVE NOW ENTERED THE REALM OF THE TWILIGHT ZONE
Post by: FJL on August 13, 2015, 01:31:28 PM
One of the questioners was really mean, I thought, asking the designer to either: (a) agree that what they did was a mess (in which case it would be see, they admit they created a mess) or (b) to defend their work (in which case they didn't see what was wrong with what they did and the questioner treated it as just as bad). 

It's a lose-lose question for a judge who's in power to ask of the designer, and I thought a bit hateful.

I agree.  Each of those designers presented a body of work to qualify for the show.  They each have a process that is not just "a few hours" in which to create a look.  Project Runway exacts a toll.   I thought Nina was particularly ugly about Nathan's inexperience.  So was Heidi.   He was forthright and polite.  And Nina was wrong about one thing in particular:  Project Runway most definitely IS a learning experience.  I thought "Pistachio" should have gone.  Her looks are going to be a hoot, I fear.

Hi everyone! Today is the first day since surgery that I fell pretty close to 100%. I still have twinges and vague pains, which I hope are healing pains, around the areas where extra mesh was placed. Not every food is agreeing with me yet, so my viscera are not fully recovered from all that poking and prodding. After all it was a lengthy surgery (almost 3x as long as was planned) and a 3x as long hospital stay. I'm no longer taking any meds, which I dislike taking anyway. I still need to take dumb loratadine (Claritin) otherwise I have sneezing attacks here in the hot, dry desert.

I'm happy to feel up to be back here with all'a'youse (for those back East).

I've been trying to take care of cleaning and laundry and errands a little at a time, so that I won't have much to do come the two eye surgeries. The doctor told me I'll be able to drive the next day, but I question that. I think he was forgetting that we're correcting my vision to my reading Rx, not my distance Rx. I would not want to drive wearing my reading glasses. As it takes about a month for one's eyes to stabilize, and about two weeks for new glasses to arrive, I could have a lengthy period without driving. I like to stock up anyway and I'm trying to cover all the bases.

TOD:

Since moving out here, I'm a bit suspicious of the sushi because we are geographically land-locked and far away from fresh seafood. Much of the "fresh" seafood here is at best flash frozen, but is more commonly thawed, unless of course one is able to afford the tonier restaurants which have seafood flown in. For commoners like me, most seafood in the supermarkets (even the upscale ones like Whole Paycheck) smells fishy, which of course is a sign that the seafood is not really fresh, maybe not bad, but I won't eat it. I'm no cat.

TOD: (Part II)

When I lived in NY, I ate a lot of fish anyway, so sushi was a natural next step. So was ceviche which is a similar idea since the fish isn't really cooked in a traditional sense.

I ate too much sushi though and was advised to cut back due to the build up of mercury possible in the fat deposits which is where the body stores it.

I usually ate all sushi except for anything that looked creepy crawly, tentacly, or could look back at me. So, pretty much tuna and salmon. Eel isn't bad though. I just have to forget what it is. Still can't bring myself to eat octopus suction cups.

TCB, I'm sorry to hear about your potential afib incident. I was having a lot of trouble last year with a racing heart and was diagnosed as pre-afib. I know of folks who are able to keep their afib under control with medication. I don't take drugs for mine; for me, magnesium and potassium keep my heart rate where it should be.

I purchased an Omron blood pressure monitor, wrist-style, which is easy to use and very convenient (about $35 on Amazon). It doesn't actually detect the afib (an EKG does that), but the cardiologists don't seem concerned. I like to know that both my blood pressure and heart rate are in the normal range.

When I asked the head of cardiology what to do when these incidents occur, he told me to drink a glass of water and eat some high-potassium foods. I agree that both help. As my incidents usually occur in the middle of the night, I keep a glass of water and some potassium capsules next to my bed, along with magnesium capsules. Magnesium quiets my heart within minutes.

Vibes you have no more trouble with this!

I've been trying to take care of cleaning and laundry and errands a little at a time, so that I won't have much to do come the two eye surgeries. The doctor told me I'll be able to drive the next day, but I question that. I think he was forgetting that we're correcting my vision to my reading Rx, not my distance Rx. I would not want to drive wearing my reading glasses. As it takes about a month for one's eyes to stabilize, and about two weeks for new glasses to arrive, I could have a lengthy period without driving. I like to stock up anyway and I'm trying to cover all the bases.

Vibes you are pleased with the results of the surgeries, and the way you did the correction!


Same vibes from here, too.

Had chicken tenders for lunch - not so good today.  I haven't jogged yet because it was like an oven outside - over 100 degrees, I'm sure.  I'll jog in a little while.

Nice link DR GEORGE.  I love that song.

Here is another favorite version of mine about a similar television show.....we had a very DRAMATIC and MYSTERIOUS dance routine to this song....if you can imagine.

Jrand, I think you mean Fred:
Thursday morning Manhattan Transfer TWILIGHT ZONE dance

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQhalve_Ov4

But they are my favorite group.  The sad thing (for me) is that they're at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley (http://www.jazzalley.com/www-home/) starting TONIGHT until Sunday night and I can't go. :( I'm part of a show here in Olympia...I don't know if I've mentioned it yet..."An Improbable Peck of Plays, Vol. IV." ;)

We have the exact same performance schedule.

Congrats to Bk on hitting 82000 posts!

That's something worth celebrating.

Congrats, BK!  I'm sorry I missed it.  I'm at work and had several issues to deal with as soon as I came in.  I hate it when that happens. :P

Hi everyone! Today is the first day since surgery that I fell pretty close to 100%. I still have twinges and vague pains, which I hope are healing pains, around the areas where extra mesh was placed. Not every food is agreeing with me yet, so my viscera are not fully recovered from all that poking and prodding. After all it was a lengthy surgery (almost 3x as long as was planned) and a 3x as long hospital stay. I'm no longer taking any meds, which I dislike taking anyway. I still need to take dumb loratadine (Claritin) otherwise I have sneezing attacks here in the hot, dry desert.

I'm happy to feel up to be back here with all'a'youse (for those back East).

Welcome back, Dan!  So glad things are going well!!

~~~Continued Recovery Vibes!!~~~

Until later!

I enjoy sushi -- probably nothing too weird or extreme, and I confess it functions nicely as a carrier for the soy sauce, wasabi, ginger, etc.  But once some friends had properly introduced me to it and guided me through what to order, etc., I got to liking it.  I  enjoy a nice sushi bar, as well as the occasional supermarket sushi takeout.

I don't eat sushi. Like Mr Pulliam, I like my fish cooked.

The word sushi means rice. And there are plenty of sushi rolls with cooked fish in them. One of my favorites features deep-friend soft shell crab in it.
