And the word of the day is: MYRMIDON!MYRMIDON sounds like that over-the-counter medication taken by women during "that certain time of the month." Bill Cosby, early in his career, recorded a very funny routine about his taking MYRMIDON.

Good morning, all! Cillaz, you're feeling better than I am after the hard labor. you must ben younger than I am! LOL!
TOD: I haven't listened to very many commentaries, and haven't gotten to do TFNM yet...I'm waiting to watch it with my DH. But one that comes to mind that I enjoyed was Anthony Mighella's track on "Truly, Madly, Deeply", a film I truly love. Listening to him talk about his struggles making the film due to working with such a low budget was something I could really identify with and it's interesting to see how far he has come, budget-wise. This is a great sleeper movie!

Edisaurus - I hope you don't think this means I'm stalking you
Monday morning greetings! Our plans for today have changed - it's my mother's 88th birthday and DH Richard and I were going to take her to
Newport Aquarium (http://www.newportaquarium.com)
but she called yesterday and said she's not feeling up to it. I checked on her this morning by phone and she's better but not great, so I'll just go see her and take her a little birthday surprise.
One of the best commentary tracks that I've enjoyed is on the OCDVD of Sunday in the Park with George. Most of the insights are from Sondheim and Lapine, with Patinkin coaxing them to divulge. Peters, sadly, doesn't contribute much.
I thought for a minute you had moved out this way, Ginny. Oregon has a Newport Aquarium, too. In fact, it's where Keiko (AKA "Free Willy") lived for years.
Have fun with the fishes, DR GINNY and DH RICHARD and M (I-L).
...
Did anyone else think that Patrick Adiarte looked like he could be the father of DRJOSE?
Good luck with the weather, DR CILLA LIZ.....the map doesn't look too promising, but it could be wrong wrong wrong.
DR JMK - my first guess on one of your DRUM questions is that France Nuyen is an actress and someone else is NOT.
As to the first question....I don't know. BUT I have read before that Pat Suzuki was unprepared for the pressures of Broadway and had a difficult time dealing with the being "Linda Low" - and walked away from the business for awhile. I loved seeing her on the DVD....but there was not ENOUGH of her!
Good morning, good morning....I watched Singing in the Rain yesterday and that song has been in my head ever since. It is a gloomy day here, but I'm feeling really good. I think it's all that hard physical labor and sleep I got over the weekend.
Cheating a bit on the TOD, my most watched this past weekend was Flower Drum Song, which brings me to my TOD: 2 FDS questions that I'm sure someone here can answer.
1. Was Pat Suzuki ever considered for the film version? If so, why wasn't she cast? If not, why not?
Re: DANIEL CRAIG:
I heard him say in an interview that he starting working out ONCE HE WAS CAST for Casino Royale. If that's right I'd say he got to looking very good very quickly.
It snowed here in Washington! I just got a call from my supervisor saying that our building is open today, but he's not coming in to work. He lives in Montesano, which is about 45 miles away and there are places where the roads are pretty bad. I now live less than a mile away from work, and will have absolutely no trouble getting there. :)
Everything but the bloodhounds of hell snapping at her rear end.
Isn't that from something? :)
And thus begins a cycle in which George will always be expected to be at the office when everyone else cannot get there!
;D
Well, at least I don't have the authority (or the key) to open the building! ;) If someone else isn't able to get here to do that and the building is closed because of weather, I don't have to come in.
My weatherbug is flashing because we are having a cold snap blow through -- it is 63F. Brrrrr.

Subdivision Bans Wreath With Peace Sign
Homeowner Defies Board, Faces About $1000 in Fines
By ROBERT WELLER, AP
DENVER (Nov. 26) - A homeowners association in southwestern Colorado has threatened to fine a resident $25 a day until she removes a Christmas wreath with a peace sign that some say is an anti-Iraq war protest or a symbol of Satan.
Just a question, does anyone REALLY want head lice, anyway? Why are there so many ads for them?
There's a commercial where the husband says to the wife, "Honey, there's an article here about your poor leg circulation."
I sort of like the idea that the paper would specifically have an article about her poor leg circulation.
Great, not even a danger of an all-time low today.
The newspaper delievry service which doesn't seem to be able to put the paper anywhere near the door and routinely delivers to the wrong apartment sent a letter asking for gratuities. That letter got directly to us.

That's my question, DR JENNIFER....WHY didn't Rob/Kim or Tyler/James yield the blondes? Their inaction set up the Bama Mamas to get the yield.
I like all of the remaining teams EXCEPT the Blondes...never have liked them. I would be happy if any of the OTHER three teams won, so I am hoping THEY get an elimination next week. I thought ALL the non-elimination legs were done... UGH.
Mary & Dave and Erwin & Godwin were my favorites....Bama Mamas come next....

DR Cillaliz, can i assume the team you no longer like is the Beauty Queens?
I was happy that this was a non-elim (sort of expecting it). But i was disappointed with all of the mistakes that dustin and kandace made. But i was glad they didn't get eliminated. They have proven themselves throughout the other episodes.
The team i don't get is the Mamas. I really dislike them more and more each show. They are mean. I know the blondes are super competitive. But the Mamas are hypocrites. The blondes had two choices. Either yield the moms or yield nobody. But being the competitors that they are the blondes tried to give themselves an advantage. I don't fault them for that. But for the moms to say that they were mean about it or that karma should get them, i just don't get that. The moms had said they were planning to yield the blondes!
It was a bit unfair that the unfit Mamas arrived at the yield first, yet ended up getting yielded. But they are really out of shape. And i fear this will hurt them. IT hurt them a lot in last night's show (they would have finished first overall).
The funniest line of the night to me was one of the moms commenting on rob and his car problems, "if your car is always breaking down, then maybe it's not the car but you". :)
I am growing to not dislike rob/kimberly as much as i did. They are pretty strong competitors. And i do like the models. They are strong (and i appreciated them stopping to chat with rob/kimberly when their car broke down).
I will say i was impressed that the Mamas got the map, and that they got to some tasks first. I didn't think they would. But i still can't get over their negative energy. It is really starting to bug me.
Can't wait for next week. I"m hoping the moms go next.

Hey has anyone mentioned that tonight is one of the last new episodes of HEROES.
Also the mid-season finale of PRISON BREAK.
I got two boxes from DDD today!
I am not just saying this because of the site I am posting on - I would say this on any site. The DVD I've watched more than any other is THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL. I am constantly introducing the film to people who haven't seen it.I don't know if I've seen it more than any other (The 10th Kingdom may earn that honor), but I definitely push FNM on people. Also The Apple, but only because it's painful & I want to share the pain. ;)

The Apple is AWESOME!!!Awesomely bad. I'm not sure how it made it to DVD, but I'm glad it did.
An Indianapolis couple, Michael and Alexis Brennan, is suing Starbucks, claiming that they served their daughter a cup of hot chocolate, which subsequently spilled and left her with serious burns. The daughter, whose age was not given, but was young enough to fit in a car seat, was said to have been riding strapped into that car seat in the back of the car when she spilled the drink. The mother stopped the car and got out to discover that the "skin on [her] leg was falling off of her."(http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.slashfood.com/media/2006/11/starbucks_hot.jpg)
…
A high percentage of parents test the temperature of their kids' drinks by taking a sip themselves, but Ms. Brennan only subjected the drink to a visual inspection before handing it to her daughter. A small child holding a drink of any kind in the backseat of a moving car, especially if he or she is small enough to have to be confined to a car seat, sounds like a recipe for disaster, regardless of whether the drink is hot or not. The parents are, of course, seeking (unspecified) damages.
Oh, yes....HOA's are notorious. Heaven forbid individuality...or even a slight move to the left or right of the "collective" mentality.
The subdivision's rules say no signs, billboards or advertising are permitted without the consent of the architectural control committee.
Kearns ordered the committee to require Jensen to remove the wreath, but members refused after concluding that it was merely a seasonal symbol that didn't say anything.
Kearns fired all five committee members.
The Apple is AWESOME!!!
No...that's a whole diffferent department. They don't bother me as much as the ones for "Monk", and it's pretty funny that she's muching a donut as she ducks under the crime scene tape.
>(Not near as bad as the TBS promos for My Boys which are a reason NOT to tune in.)
Oh, are they bad? They were testing so poorly that they gave them to all of us to work on and had about 25-30 different spots. It's a hard show to sell, which is too bad, because I think it's pretty good. (They didn't go with the spot I cut... and I haven't seen the others.
Spoken as a true Child of Eden!Donna Summer should've sued. "Coming For You" is a blatant rip off of "Wasted."

A. The Closer pop-ins can be cute; however...timing is everything. In the marathon episode where Just Plain Brenda has Just Plain Bill face down on her stoop and is closing in for a dramatic face-to-face - up jumps the pop-up and turns the scene into a cartoon!
DRs, I loathe and detest cell phones, but I think I should take one to LA with me. I do not want any plan and be stuck paying for a phone beyond this trip. Any suggestions?T-mobile has a pretty good pre-paid plan. And you can get a decently priced, simple, reliable Nokia at Target.
Thanks!

Back from a long day and shall now endeavor to write the notes quickly.I tried. Left a message. I just need one, for the matinee on the 9th.
I need people to tell me if they've made their own reservations for The Brain. There is much confusion because the box office lady up and left to deal with an emergency, and when I saw the list of reservations today it certainly did not include MusicGuy and Kerry, Laura, MBarnum or anyone else except Michael Shayne. So, let me know if you made reservations because I'll have to have them tracked down or we'll have to redo them.
