Dan (the Man) thank you. George’s sister’s boyfriend made the DVD for me. The American Girl Dolls aren’t ones I collect. I was looking forward to watching the movie but it doesn’t work in my guest room DVD player. I will have to wait until we return to our bedroom which accepts more formats.
Around two years ago, the apartment building had a huge roach invasion...
Why are Catholics in Florida not worried about dying: "Because it is so beautiful there that Heaven doesn't interest them — and so hot at times, that hell doesn't scare them. Amen."
Does "huge" modify "roach" or "invasion"?
Of course, it could have been a huge invasion of huge roaches - like a scene from a Pogue film.

The New Quiz Show Scandal -- Reality Television
JOEL STEIN
December 5, 2004
We all figured some of it was fake: Joe Millionaire's slurping make-out noises, the depth of the relationship between Brigitte Nielsen and Flavor Flav, Jessica Simpson's breasts. And "reality" was always a misnomer for shows that involve Donald Trump or people on desert islands. But these shows purporting to be unadulterated documentaries are unreal in a more obvious way: They are secretly crafted in advance by writers. And I've got the entertainment equivalent of the Pentagon Papers to prove it. Maybe more like the equivalent of the photo with President Bush holding the fake Thanksgiving turkey in Iraq, but still, they are definitely papers.
Many of the shows that supposedly follow the real lives of real people are really scripted by real writers, many of whom were unemployed because their sitcoms got replaced by reality programs. So reality shows are just sitcoms starring good-looking people instead of hot actresses and the fat, ugly guys who play their husbands. That's why they're 50% more entertaining.
Through sources I cannot reveal but would definitely not go to jail to protect, I got hold of a 19-page, single-spaced outline of an upcoming episode of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." Every moment is planned in advance, including a few specific lines for the straight guy to deliver, which Bravo says is not unusual for any reality show. It's something that people in Hollywood know and think is no big deal. Like Mike Ovitz.
…
Actually, the roaches are quite average and disgusting, but the invasion is huge. I'm seeing far too many of them, and I'm asphyxiating myself from Raid!

Alright, Panni - fess up! What's paying the rent?
I must go now and watch the end of THE TERMINAL.Is it just me, or is this sentence self-redundant?
(Boric acid and Borax are toxic and should not be accessible to parrots and other pets. Baking soda is said to work as well as Borax.)In other words, with baking soda the roaches burp themselves to death?
Monday: Cloudy with rain and snow. High 44F. Winds E at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precip 70%.So bring the 'brollys and heavy coats, and we can all make sure our esteemed BK keeps warm by giving him warm hugs.
Monday night: Light rain early...then remaining cloudy with showers late. Low 42F. Winds E at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%.

OH! And Santa Claus was at Sidewalk Cafe this morning too! He was dining with Mrs. Claus, I presume (she opted to forego her traditional red and white garb this morning), along with some friends and his grand-daughter. Who knew Santa had a grand-daughter.And the reason you thought Mrs. Claus was still a virgin after all these years is...???
As he finished up his meal, he made the rounds of the restaurant and handed out candy-canes to everyone! I even overheard one of the young ladies at the bar confess to him that she had been bad this year. "Well, you know, Santa likes it when you've been bad."Which explains his jolly "Ho-ho-ho," if you ask me!
MBarnum I just read the interesting article on Cal Bolder. Is there a link for your other article? It was also a reminder for me to pick up THE LAST REUNION so I can read it after WRITER’S BLOCK.
I've already gotten quite a few cryptic emails from people, LOL.Letter substitution, or just strange? ::)
Panni the color of your rug warms up the room and goes nicely with the beautiful throw blanket Abie is on. Is that only a blanket or do I also see a matching throw pillow? BTW, Abie looks sweet when he sleeps. What does he look like when he is running? :)
Oh! Sort of random thought...
Just what effect will the fact that the day after Christmas is a Sunday have on those after Christmas sales? Will stores still open ridiculously early? Or will there be quite the stampeded at 11:00am and Noon?
I suppose that not opening at all on the day after Christmas is not an option? You wouldn't catch me in a store the day after Christmas if you paid me!
The other day I was talking to woman with 10 grandchildren. She said her family knows that if they don't get holiday requests in before Thanksgiving, they get a card and a check, but no real present. Her rule is not to set foot in a store from Thanksgiving until after Christmas. Smart.
Well, I can't argue with you, TCB. You're quite right.
(Oh - and I'd like a fur-lined Burberry vest, please. Size 2 Petite. And matching gloves. And a toque.)
Size 2 Petite. Please. I might be able get my little finger in that size. :D
I've had my warm Doubletree Welcome Cookie (at these prices there should have been two Welcome Cookies -
Is anyone going to watch THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PETER SELLERS tonight?
Okay - the little tyke downstairs is starting to get on my nerves. The noise from downstairs is unbelievable today. Loud music, screaming, slamming, running around like crazy. It's actually not his fault - he's a kid - but, really, his parents should be aware of the fact that other people (ME!) live in this building. What do I do is the question?
Kids in comas cause no problems.
This afternoon we saw SIDEWAYS. Jay should see this and give one of his brilliant reviews. I will simply say we are expecting this film to pick up several Academy nominations.
Jed, TCB, and Ann...you all look dasing, dapper, and beautiful, respectively! Very nice picture and glad that you were able to see each other!

Sideways: Lovers of fine wine and poignant small-scale character-driven comedy/drama should run to see this film. My kind of movie. This and Garden State are probably the two best films I've seen yet this year.
JMK I have never seen a laser dreidel- cool.
If you say “leave” first you don’t need to say “drop” after the item has teeth marks and/or slobber on it. ;D
Well, lest I make myself into a fool like I did here many moons ago when I questioned the word "divoon," (silly me, I had never heard it before), I won't say it's not a word. But, DRMB, what is "dasing"?
<SNIP>
"I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
That's when I started leaving so that I wouldn't break down right there in the restaurant...
"I'll see you in New York, Jose!"
And I've been sort of holding back the tears every since...
Back and glad to be home for the evening. Looking forward to watching CINDERELLA (Julie Andrews) this evening on a local PBS station....

This priceless moment brought to you by eBay.
DR Jane, BeeGee already "picks up" items he shouldn't, including Legos, manuscript paper, Betsy's beret, etc., etc. What he needs work on is "letting go again."
I wish I could find that New Yorker cartoon. DRGEORGE does that CD have an index of any type?
And that, my friends, marked the official start of the Christmas Season!
;D
Zotz....wasn't she the middle Gabor sister?
Holly is resting as well. Her pain medication makes her sleepy which is okay. She lays down in front of the fireplace and s l e e e e e p s!
It took awhile, but here it is, JRand!
Didn't DRNOEL have a show today....GENERATION F'CKD?
...Then there's always the alien abduction theory...
If those Mexicans are counting on late night denizens to put up the ransom, they're gonna be sorry they picked a Sunday.
...For ransom. If each of us put in 10 bucks, think of it, DR DTM!
