Today will be long.

What was originally going to be a six-hour workday has been extended to eight (with a lunch break).  Then, der B has us scheduled to dash up to Dover for some shopping.

He will then have us dashing back home, so that he can watch television all evening.

I don't have any shows that interest me on Tuesday.  So I may try catching up on our DVD stack, which seems to keep growing and growing and...

Woody!  Good morning to you.  And good morning, all.  I thought I wouldbe hearing from our E&T DR Jose yesterday, but I never did.  I'm not certain now that he came up from DC.

I'm staying busy with The Brain and today I'll try to finish up (hopefully) two charts.  Tonight I have the monthly music librarian dinner, which I look forward to because I've missed every one since May because of Ohio visits and work commitments.  I have to leave the group around 7:45 and pay a visit to Toyland.  Because of everyone's conflicts, we're now meeting after 6:30 every night.  Oy!  At least I'm avoiding most of the rush hour situation.

TOD:  SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS

Oh, wait.  That wasn't Sneezy?  Sorry.

CALIGULA, SALO.  Anything by Oliver Stone.

Very nice write up about THE FOUNTAINHEAD, DR RLP.  It is one of my favorites.  How are the extras?  I haven't purchased the DVD yet.

It was a fantastically popular book - and Ayn Rand sold the movie rights to Warner Bros (Clark Gable was furious that MGM passed on it) for $50,000.  She went out and bought a mink coat and she and her husband Frank O'Conner bought a small ranch with a nice Richard Neutra house on it.

Ayn wrote the screenplay and went through hell getting it done her way.  Every actress from Barbara Stanwyck to Joan Crawford to Veronica Lake thought herself perfect for the leading role.

Cooper & Neal eventually played them.  Ayn was furious at the final cut of the film that chopped out what she considered the MOST important line - the line that gave meaning to the film....Cooper's speech in the courtroom was to have included:  "I wished to come here to say that I am a man who does not exist for others....."

Ayn put on her mink coat argued uselessly with producer Henry Blanke - and then said she wouldn't allow any more of her books to be produced by Hollywood.

Well, you were the first to think of it as a title for this cookbook.  Since there will be a total of 12 copies of this cookbook in print and I will not receive a red cent for it, I'm really not concerned about using a title that's already been used for something else.

However, I did not receive my newspaper this morning, a rare occurrence. When I called the delivery/circulation line, it was either not answering or busy which leads me to suspect there might have been a press breakdown last night, and the newspaper didn't get printed. I haven't gone to the webite to see if anything is posted there, but that's my next stop after I leave HHW.

I think CALIGULA is the perfect choice for a sleazy movie, but I have a universally hailed film that's my choice:

PULP FICTION.

I felt unclean and nauseous when I walked out of that movie. I supposed that's what Tarantino wanted us to feel, but I just found it ugly, depressing, and discomforting.

I'm up, I'm up - WHY?  I wanted to sleep until nine, but alas, Ye Olde Internal Clock thought otherwise.

Couldn't agree more about Caligula and Salo - two films that made me actually want to take a shower after seeing them - couldn't make it through Salo, I'm afraid, and what's more amazing is that each film has people who think they're works of art - that's more frightening than anything.  To me, if the negatives were burned it would be just fine.

At 17 (besides learning the truth), I felt sleazed out by the movie MASSACRE AT CENTRAL HIGH.  At the time, it felt almost pornographic in its disregard for morality and human life.  I even wrote a negative review of it for the college paper.  I just didn't get the satire and humor of it.  But I saw it again years later, after having been told by several acquaintances  that I'd underrated it, and I did like it a lot more then, though.

Fellini's Satyricon creeped me out and seemed somewhat grotesque. I just did not like it, but maybe it wasn't really sleazy.

Herschel Gordon Lewis' BLOOD FEAST and 2000 MANIACS were fun sleazy movies, and his film SCUM OF THE EARTH was just, well, sleazy....but sort of fun.


And as Edisaurus mentioned SIN IN THE SUBURBS and THE SWAP AND HOW THEY MAKE IT are a great sleazy double feature.

In NBC's defense, there is a more practical argument for their doing this on Thursday this week. They only have three shows and two hours of air time to fill. SCRUBS isn't scheduled to return to the line-up until next week, so extended editions of the shows are needed to fill the two hour block.

In the case of THE OFFICE, if the outtakes on the season 2 DVD set are any indication, they will have NO problem filling the extra minutes with QUALITY material. There are outtakes on that set that are every bit as funny as what made it on the air.

The dreaded "too many connections".  Unbelievable.  I wrote them an e-mail twenty-five minutes ago - but I doubt they check their e-mails often, even though they should check them every five minutes, since they're a support team.  So, I called.  All technicians were "busy" helping other customers so I left a message and one minute later we're back up.  No confirmation, no response, no acknowledgment.

I will not give up!!!! Fresh Step, even though it says it is dust free, still creates a dust that builds up around the place. There is one brand of crystals I will never buy again; they were little spheres. Man, those I still find. They roll all over the place. But the blue and white rocks, I think they can be stopped.

When I took the litter box out of the room Boo lived in until she could roam freely, I sent in Roomba.  It was pretty funny, the dirt detector kept going off in the area where the box had been and it kept spinning in circles trying to pick up all the dirt....but it actually did a pretty good job.  

I bought some mats to put under the litter box that supposedly catch the litter that falls from the cats' feet.  It works so-so

http://www.amcorner.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7683&sid=9370d1f73460d1ca12d031e3176a4806

I have been assured by the site administrators that it is not an elaborate put-on, but I point out these gems:  the puppet show, the Korean theater piece and, my personal favorite, the singing couple where the girl is 13 and her boyfriend is 30.  Add in the fractured English and you have, again IMHO, a comedy classic.

Catching up on OCRs (cont'd):  I Sent a Letter to My Love--nice moments, good pianism, but, oh my heavens has Melissa Manchester's vibrato gotten wide enough to drive a Mac truck through ;0 ; The Human Comedy--quirky as only Galt McDermott can be, but I don't understand why this is considered such a classic.  Curmudgeonly side showing again.

Having fun writing some incidental music for The Brain.  I was working with our musical director on it last night, but we hadn't found anything I liked for all the newspaper/newscaster montages - so I wrote a really fun thing and I'm very happy with it - it's actually used a whole bunch of times, so that's a major piece out of the way and elmore only has to score it once - all the rest are repeats.  It's also basically only about eight bars long (with two successive key changes, but the orchestration will remain the same).

When I took the litter box out of the room Boo lived in until she could roam freely, I sent in Roomba.  It was pretty funny, the dirt detector kept going off in the area where the box had been and it kept spinning in circles trying to pick up all the dirt....but it actually did a pretty good job.  

I bought some mats to put under the litter box that supposedly catch the litter that falls from the cats' feet.  It works so-so

Those mats are good conceptually, but too small. I am going to go to Canal Street where you can find all kinds of textile stuff because I want to find a large rubber floor mat with holes in it, the kind that would be on the floor in a factory or something.

Loved the waitress. Loved her! I assume she DOES have powers since she has been killed, and Hiro might have been too, if he told her his powers.

They are steadfastly refusing to let us know how to feel about the dad. First he seemed evil, but good with the daughter. Now he is doing evil things for a good reason, but he has clearly been mixed up in some bad stuff. Then he does something totally evil there to the addict, but they show him feeling a bit conflicted about it. Who knows?

Quote
Ideal for all wet areas applications where slips and falls pose a danger. Interlocking 12" X 12" tiles can be configured to fit just about any area. Can be easily cut or trimmed with utility knife to fit irregular spaces. Allows air flow for faster drying and moisture to drain through. Reduces mildew & mold possibilities. Excellent impact resistance for china/glassware. Resists grease, commercial soaps, pool chemicals. Flexible enough to be rolled up without unlocking. Lightweight for ease of transporting. Fits many applications: behind-the-bar areas, shelf liner for sanitary storage and air-drying glassware, reach-in coolers and walk-in box floors, locker rooms and showers, swimming pools, food kiosks, weather-affected entryways, industrial plants and more. Black.

Yes, she has powers -- her incredible memory and grasp of what she's learning.  Quite a power to have, actually.  Everyone's power is different...and together, they will be able to accomplish great things, IMO.

The kid is not Mohinder as a boy...it's a boy whom his father discovered...a boy whose gifts inspired his father's research.  At least, so I gathered.  Mohinder has no powers....that we know of.  That boy apparently has gifts.

Claire's father...he's the stereotypical government man doing whatever it takes to accomplish his goals. For good or ill, I haven't decided what to make of him.

This week Warner Bros. is issuing the fourth set of Loony Tunes-Merrie Melodies classics, and I had the previous three sets but had never gotten around to watching any of the cartoons contained within. So, today, I opened set one and watched the first four cartoons in the set. The first disc is all Bugs Bunny cartoon shorts, and three of the four were very familiar to me. The first on the disc was in less than pristine shape but still very watchable. All of them so far have been color cartoons.

CSI: MIAMI had a fact-based case dealing with the abduction and murder of photographers' models. What made the show interesting wasn't the identity of the murderer who was pretty easy to spot, but the fact that the story was based on an actual event that happened to series star Eva LaRue's younger sister (who also guest starred on this episode).

And the case is on-going. At the end of the episode, photos of missing models were flashed on the screen with appeals to the public for help in locating them.

DR CILLALIZ,
Can you give us a brief critique of the Roomba yet? (apart from kitty litter)
(sorry, if you've already done so, I must have missed it)

I've used it several times. It does a pretty good job, but I wouldn't use it as your only vacuum cleaner. It's great zooming under the bed and has provided great entertainment for me, two cats and Paul.  (Note to self - get a life)

 It doesn't have a pattern but seems to get most everywhere. I think that's what fascinates me, it just sort of goes where it wants to and eventually gets everywhere.  It did get caught up on things a few times and the last time I used it the charge didn't last very long.  So the jury is still out.  It is pretty cool when it detects dirt and does circles trying to pick it up.  

I have a carpet in my living room that has black lines on it. They aren't raised, but the Roomba treats them like they are boundaries of some sort. That was a bit weird.  

I think it would be wonderful for someone who can't get around very well.  I'm considering ordering one for my mother for Christmas. She shouldn't be vacuuming, but try to stop her, lol. She has help cleaning once a week, so this would be perfect if she has company coming and just wants to clean up a bit.  Mine is the basic model. The more advanced models will actually go back to the charging station and plug themselves in when they are running low on batteries. Mine just stops.

I'll use it for a couple more weeks and give you an update.

A lot of bars use those mats behind the bar

Rodzinsky & TPunk-If you want dust free kitty litter try various non-clay litters.  Clay litter isn’t good for cats anyway as the dust can cause lung problems.  We found out the hard way.  :'(

I haven’t researched the best litters, that will be for our next cat, if there is one.  First I need to get through the puppy stage.  

Speaking of the puppy, I had better play with him before he shreds my jeans.

I thought that I'd mention that I ran into the "too many connections" thing for the first time this morning around 8:30 AM MST.  This is the first time for me, and I kept trying over a span of about 10 minutes, and then finally gave up.  I know it isn't my own server or computer, as I'm on a cable modem system here at home and have no trouble with speed.

Well, at least the computer doesn't have any trouble with speed.

I am really looking forward to seeing the film with the advances in DVD encoding technologies that have taken place since the original disc was released.

Cats aren't hard to train, you just have to make them think it was their idea to do it

Cats truly are trainable.  I had a friend who trained his cat to say his prayers before each meal.  The cat would hop up in a chair, put both paws together on the table and put his head to the top of his paws.  He'd hold that until my friend said, "Amen!"

I've seen a cat use/flush a toilet, too....but the toilet had a chain flush...with a metal hoop on the end....the cat put his paw into the hoop and, with just a little weight applied, the toilet would flush.

John Gabriel is making a play for Connie Stevens on tonights episode of HAWAIIAN EYE...now Bob Conrad is threatening John Gabriel...of couse he has to look up to John Gabriel...but still, he is tryng to act threatening.

I wonder whose job it was to make sure Conrad was always standing on boxes so as not to appear too short!

As fate would have it, TPunk showed me this link yesterday to a video of someone's cat who learned how to flush a toilet and is fascinated just flushing it again and again. It is quite something to watch...

Yay! My aunt in Manhattan Beach says of course I can come stay with her for the weekend of Dec. 9th. I figured she would, but getting her email made me feel warm & fuzzy inside. My energy just isn't what it could be tonight.

Tonight's rehearsal was just going through the music.  It went well and I got to leave at about 8:30. :) As for rehearsal tomorrow (Wednesday), I don't need to be there! ;D I get a night off.  Starting Thursday, however, we're really going to be running the show.  We open in two weeks!!  I have no doubt that it'll all come together in plenty of time and we'll have a great run. :D

And surely the cast of cannibals will not chew up the scenery DR George. It should be fun.

Well...I'm going to bed.  Good night, BK and Tomovoz.  It's been a long, been a long, been a long, been a long day (a How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying reference) :)
