"Where have the people gone
Seems like there's no one hangin' on
Look through the window
The houses are empty
Hey, everybody's out of town
Seems like I'm the only one around."

Broken windows and empty hallways
Pale dead moon in a sky streaked with gray
Human kindness - overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today.

I love Everybody's Out Of Town.

Happy Birthday to Evil Twin!

"You're the top!
You're an arrow collar
You're the top!
You're a Coolidge dollar,
You're the nimble tread
Of the feet of Fred Astaire,
You're an O'Neill drama,
You're Whistler's mama!
You're camembert. "
And
"You're a rose,

The moon has a few new wrinkles
His smiles a bit more silver now than gold

You've got to gather all your hands can hold
I'm staying young - I'm staying young
While everyone around me's growing old

Lemon Chess Pie (http://jas.familyfun.go.com/recipefinder/display?id=40999)
(http://familyfun.go.com/Resources/Cookbook/FeatureRecipeImages/ff1104-jg-lemonchess.jpg)
Chess pies are a southern tradition, beloved as much for their ease of preparation as for their great flavor. The filling is customarily thickened with a bit of cornmeal, rather than flour, resulting in a subtle coarseness that nicely complements the especially lemony flavor of this particular recipe.
Foolproof Pie Shell
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons fine yellow cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract (optional)
Step 1
Prepare, chill, and prebake a Foolproof Pie Shell. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°.
Step 2
Whisk together the sugar, cornmeal, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and egg yolk and whisk well. Whisk in the milk, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and lemon extract if using. Then slowly pour the filling into the cooled pie shell.
Step 3
Bake the pie on the center oven rack for about 45 to 50 minutes, turning it 180 degrees halfway through. When done, the top will be dark golden brown, and the filling will be set except for the very center, which may jiggle slightly when you tap the pan.
Step 4
Cool the pie on a wire rack. Serve it at room temperature or cover and chill until serving time. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

And the word of the day is: BASTION!
Casey would waltz
With a strawberry blonde
High atop their local fortress' BASTION,
Hoping to thus avoid the arrows and cannonfire
Of their multitudinous critics.
Alas, Casey's vertigo would strike again
Every time they came near the BASTION's edge,
And the strawberry blonde would once again
Have to take the lead.

I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love.

DR JOSE - the Jackie Kennedy "painting" line you are thinking of was from the Vaughan Meader LP "The First Family."
-
Wow - so early and many of my favorite lyrics already quoted!
Hmmmmmmm.....
"He said he really thought a
Lot of my medulla oblongata.
And my pancreas and sternum
Made him sing a wild contata....
Your appendix?
Just tremendix!
Cerebellum?
Simply swellum.
But he never said he loved me!
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up. And I've even moved the car. And I'm not on my way to IKEA right now. So...
-
DR JOSE - the Jackie Kennedy "painting" line you are thinking of was from the Vaughan Meader LP "The First Family."
Thank you, DR JRand! It actually came back to me just as I was falling to sleep - which, of course, almost caused me not to fall asleep. As a companion piece, Sister Maureen Christopher played that for us after viewing the documentary.
-
The workplace is calling me, like a siren's song.
DR Ron can hate his job - I really enjoy mine!

The house seems smaller since she's been gone.
The lights stay dim and the shutters drawn.
But the clock keeps running and time runs on,
and there's time enough has flown
if I have to live alone.
The leaves still rustle, the wind still whines;
the sun shines colder but still it shines.
I do my living between the lines
like the silent times I've known
when I had to live alone.

Take Napoleon,

It ought to come as no surprise
Look for the woman
Who cut him down to size.

At five-forty-five the telephonic device rang and woke me up. It sounded like someone from Lagaan telling me my limo was here. I said my limo was not here since I hadn't ordered a limo. He said "sorry" and I tried to go back to sleep. Fifteen minutes later the telephonic device rang again, and it was the same gentleman telling me that I'd made an appointment for a limo and that I was a doctor. I asked him what number he was trying to call and as he read it to me he said, "Oh, six not zero. Sorry." I am now up and cannot go back to sleep. On top of that, my limo isn't even here.

Now
As the sweet imbecilities tumble so lavishly onto her lap
Now
Though there are possibilities still to be studied I might as well nap
Bow though I must to adjust my original plan
How can I sleep half as deep as I usually can
When now I still want and/or love you
Now as always

And how you're always turning back too late
From the grass or the stick
Or the dog or the light.
How the kind of woman willing to wait's
Not the kind that you want to find waiting
To return you to the night
Dizzy from the height
Coming from the hat.
-
The party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right
Just being with him
Now you must wake up
All dreams must end

My friend.

Good morning, all! I slept far too late, then I had to catch up on last night's posts, then I had a phone call, and then I had sme coffee, and voila!
It's Write-A-Report Day! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Oh, the rain comes a-pitter patter
And I'd like to be safe in bed
Skies are weeping while the world is sleeping,
Trouble heaping on our head
It is vain to remain and chatter
And to wait for a clearer sky
Helter skelter I must fly for shelter
Till the clouds roll by
-
I'm in love with a man
Plaza oh double four double three
It's a perfect relationship
I can't see him
He can't see me

And since I like the second B-section of that song too:
And when the woman that you wanted goes,
You can say to yourself, "Well, I give what I give,"*
But the woman who won't wait for you knows
That, however you live,
There's a part of you
Always standing by.
Mapping out the sky.
Finishing a hat...
*In my copy of the piano/vocal score, the lyric appears as, "I give all I can give". But both Mandy Patinkin and Daniel Evans sing the above lyric. -And it even looks like that "I give all I can give" was pasted in after the fact - it even appears in a different font - a typewriter, in fact. Hmm... ???

Because this girl I've never met
I get to meet tonight at eight
-
I chose and my world was shaken-
So what?
The choice may have been mistaken
The choosing was not.
You have to move on.
Look at what you want,
Not at where you are,
Not at what you'll be.
Look at all the things you've done for me...
--------------
Stop worrying if your vision
Is new.
Let others make that decision-
They usually do.
You keep moving on.
-------
Anything you do
Let it come from you.
Then it will be new.
Give us more to see.

-
Hmm... So when I head back outside in a few to move the car back, should I just go to IKEA then? Or... ???
*As I was about to go to sleep last night, I took one more look at the layout of my room that I had drawn up a few days ago. And I double-checked the number of uprights and shelfs I would need to buy - I'm just adding on to the modular system I already have. Well, of course, I suddenly thought of another way to arrange the room... So... After getting out of bed... Re-counting the shelves I already have... Taking out the tape measure... Re-drawing some plans... Etc., etc., etc... But then once I started to try to a mental inventory of what's still in storage... Basta! I just had to go to bed. So, I did. -And then I remembered "The First Family" LP... So...
In any case... I think I'm gonna take a bit more time planning things out, and then I'll head to IKEA. Well...
That's the plan for now.

I am dejected,
I am depressed,
Yet ressurected
And riding the crest.
Why this elation,
Mixed with deflation?
What explanation,
I am in love!
Such conflicting questions ride
Around in my brain,
Should I order cyanide
Or order champagne?
Oh, what is this sudden jolt?
I feel like a frightened colt,
Just hit by a thunderbolt,
I am in love!
I knew the odds
Were against me before.
I had no flair
For flaming desire,
But since the gods
Gave me you to adore,
I may lose
But I refuse to fight the fire!
So come and enlighten my days
And never depart.
You only can brighten the blaze
That burns in my heart.
For I am wildly in love with you,
And so in need of a stampede of
Love!

Yeah, yeah, I know. We're not supposed to do whole lyrics, but this one is just so perfect in every delicious way.

In a manner that would shock you

And before the earburn ceases

Or hold the door

And should I love you, you would be

All the sad young men
Sitting in the bars,
Knowing neon lights,
Missing all the stars.
All the sad young men,
Drifting through the town,
Drinking up the night,
Trying not to drown.
--Ballad of the Sad Young Men--
I have a feeling that beneath the little halo
on your noble head
There lies a thought or two the devil might
be interested to know.
You're like the finish of a novel that I'll
fin'lly have to take to bed,
You fascinate me so!
--You Fascinate Me So--
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill,

Don't put your daughter on the stage,
Mrs. Worthington,
Don't put your daughter on the stage.
She's a bit of an ugly duckling
You must honestly confess,
And the width of her seat
Would surely defeat

It's a loud voice, and though it's not exactly flat,
She'll need a little more than that
To earn a living wage.

With a smile that makes my temp'rature rise,
Like a summer with a thousand julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes.

Wonderful lyrics all.

As the days go by,
I keep thinking, "When does it end?
Where's the day I'll have started forgetting?"
But I just go on
Thinking and sweating
And cursing and crying
And turning and reaching
And waking and dying
And no,
Not a day goes by,
Not a blessed day
But you're still somehow part of my life
And you won't go away.

(To the tune of Berlin's "They Wouldn't Believe Me")
And when they ask us, how dangerous it was,
Oh, we'll never tell them, no, we'll never tell them:
We spent our pay in some cafe,
And fought wild women night and day,
'Twas the cushiest job we ever had.
And when they ask us, and they're certainly going to ask us,
The reason why we didn't win the Croix de Guerre,
Oh, we'll never tell them, oh, we'll never tell them
There was a front, but damned if we knew where

Great lyrics. Thanks to all.
The sun comes up: I think about you
The coffee cup: I think about you
I want you so
It's like I'm losing my mind
Ah! Another favorite--the whole song, in fact. Just love it.

At five-forty-five the telephonic device rang and woke me up. It sounded like someone from Lagaan telling me my limo was here. I said my limo was not here since I hadn't ordered a limo. He said "sorry" and I tried to go back to sleep. Fifteen minutes later the telephonic device rang again, and it was the same gentleman telling me that I'd made an appointment for a limo and that I was a doctor. I asked him what number he was trying to call and as he read it to me he said, "Oh, six not zero. Sorry." I am now up and cannot go back to sleep. On top of that, my limo isn't even here.

And a sense of futility,

We've gained notoriety,
And caused much anxiety
In the Audubon Society
With our games.
They call it impiety,
And lack of propriety,
And quite a variety
Of unpleasant names.
But it's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon.
So if Sunday you're free,
Why don't you come with me,
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park.
And maybe we'll do
In a squirrel or two,
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment.
Except for the few we take home to experiment.
My pulse will be quickenin'
With each drop of strychnine
We feed to a pigeon.

To poison a pigeon in the park.

Gay Montana cop asked

Gay liason officer hopes to enlighten police about cultural diversity
MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) | Jan 9, 7:58 AM
Scott Oak, the Missoula Police Department's gay liaison officer, is taking a one-year leave to help train the Afghan National Police force.
Oak said he was contacted by officials with the State Department, who apparently became aware of him through news coverage he received as an openly gay officer and Missoula's first police liaison to the gay community.
Oak said he was asked to carry that expertise abroad and conduct training in human and civil rights, ethics, diversity and basic police operations.

This heart of mine
Was doing very well,
The world was fine
As far as I could tell;
And then quite suddenly I met you and I dreamed of gay amours,
At dawn I woke up singing sentimental overtures.
This heart of mine
Is gaily dancing now;
I taste the wine
Of real romancing now;
Somehow this crazy world has taken on a wonderful design,
As long as life endures, it's yours, this heart of mine.

And thanks to Google for "teaching" me the difference between the various types of radiators: water, steam, one pipe, two pipes, etc. After reading a couple of articles and looking at a couple of images, I was able to determine that I have a single pipe, steam radiator in my room. And that it actually needs to "slope gently" toward the main water valve... And since I noticed that the floor had settled a bit... And since I had a pack of shims in my toolbox... :)

He visited my chambers one evening rather late
In tandem with a husky Saint Bernard

Castleberry Hill restaurant steps up competition for Mexican food in Atlanta
Open since August next to the No Mas! decor showroom, No Mas! Cantina is located in the growing Castleberry Hill district near downtown. Both the new businesses are offshoots of No Mas! Productions, an Atlanta home decorating store that began selling Mexican handicrafts and furniture in 1996 on Huff Road.
At the Cantina, everything is on the menu — including the artwork, furnishings and the blown glass barware. If you unexpectedly fall in love with a tall margarita pitcher, it is satisfying to know you can take it home.
But at any restaurant, quality food and service is crucial to ongoing success. No Mas! Cantina distinguishes itself from the myriad of ho-hum Mexican restaurants in Atlanta by offering fresh, authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices.

NEW YORK OFFICIALS SAY NEW JERSEY MAY BE TO BLAME FOR MANHATTAN STINK (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,242526,00.html)
NEW YORK — The gas-like odor that hung over Manhattan's streets was gone Tuesday, but city officials were still trying to pinpoint its source — and eyeing New Jersey.
Charles Sturcken, a spokesman for the city Department of Environmental Protection, said Tuesday that his agency was pretty sure the source of the smell was along New Jersey's industrialized waterfront, just across the Hudson River from New York.
"The way we tracked the dispersion of the smell and the prevailing winds indicates that it came from New Jersey, somewhere near Secaucus," Sturcken said.

Lunch ran long and I had several phone calls, so I only got one movie watched this afternoon - NANNY MCPHEE.
It was pretty much what I expected plot-wise, and I did enjoy it despite its predictability.
I appreciated the running time of a little over 90 minutes, perfect for this kind of fantasy. The fabulous production design looked astonishing in high definition over HBO-HD. Had the same three dimensional look you get with the best HD DVDs with colors that seemingly pop from the screen. (Similar to CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY once they all get inside.)
The cast including Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, and Angela Lansbury was delightful.
No, not a great fantasy, but a pleasurable 96 minutes.
-
Coincidentally, what should be playing on one of the HBO channels once I deleted NANNY from the DVR but CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, so I spent the last half hour of my viewing afternoon enjoying it again.
I have the DVD so can watch the entire film whenever I want, but it was nice catching a part of it. Might watch it again at some point this week if I can squeeze it in.

Too many favorite show lyrics, but my all-time favorite pop lyric:
Late last night we went for a drive
You were miles away
I asked, who's on your mind
You said, nobody (nobody)
Why do you ask
Oh, her again
I could've told you that
We came back home
Got ready for bed
I said to myself
I've got one shot left
Your still mine and I won't stand in line
Behind nobody
Nobody
Well, your nobody called today
She hung up when I asked her name
Well, I wonder does she think she's being clever
(Clever, ohh, ohh)
You say nobody's after you
The fact is what you say is true
But I can love you like nobody can
Even better
-
Genie with the light grey hair doesn't quite scan. Not even with a light brown hare.

"Your still mine" and that's a favourite. (Sometimes I'm still at work!)

My second-favorite all-time pop lyric:
Don't know what he looks like,
Don't know who he is.
Don't know why she thought that I
would say what's mine is his.
I dont want to own her,
But I can't let her have it both ways.
Three is one too many of us,
She leaves with me or stays
with..
(chorus)
Him him him, what's she gonna do about Him?
She's gonna have to live without him,
It's him or it's me, me me,
No one gets to get it for free
It's me or it's him.

Warning! Handle With Care!

My third favorite all-time pop lyric, maybe because of the lovely forced rhyme of honor and gonna:
Nothing you could do could make me untrue to my guy.
Nothing you could buy could make me tell a lie to my guy.
I gave my guy my word of honor,
To be faithful and I'm gonna.
You best be believing I won't be deceiving my guy.

The honor/gonna rhyme brings to mind the Tim Rice lyric:
All the things you saw in your pajamas
Are a long range forecast for your farmers

Mary Wells sang some deep lyrics. Buckets of them.

Good Afternoon! Good Evening!
-Three laps around the reservoir later (4.5 miles)....
:)
*I did a couple of intervals, so I walked 1.5 of those miles, and ran the remaining 3.
And why did I do such a thing? Well, I wanted to give my new iPod and my new Nike+iPod Sport Kit a test run. Literally. Very cool. Oh, since I finally found the armband combo that allows you to use the Nike+ without Nike+ enabled shoes, I gave that a try this afternoon too. *I have wide feet, so I wear New Balance - Nike shoes, for the most part, don't come in variable widths. In any case...
The Nike+ Kit has a transmitter you place in (or on) your shoe, and a receiver that plugs into your iPod nano. Once you set it up, it will record distance, time, pace. While you're running/jogging/walking, each time you push the center button, a voice (you can choose a male of female voice) tells you your current distance, time and pace. And then afterwards, you can upload the info to your computer and to Nike's website. -Which I still have yet to, so...
It was a bit cool out, but I bundled up appropriately. I wanted to get the sensor properly calibrated, so that comprised a good deal of my workout... unintentionally. I was setting it up to calibrate a 1/4-mile distance, but since I kept missing the mile markers along the trail... Third time was the good one. ;)
Alas, I'm definitely going to have to buy a different set of earphones. Ones that stay in my ears. But it really felt good to get the heart rate up for a bit and break a bit of a sweat (even in the cold).

Buy a bottle of jojoba oil...and put about a tsp of oil in your palm with the shampoo before you wash your hair.
This will help a lot!
Thanks. I'm finding that tea tree oil seems to be helping right now. I also think one of the issues is that my scalp is getting used to the NYC water again on a regular, daily basis.

Of possible interest to DR FJL-
I have to say, that the songs from Spring Awakening make for a pretty bitchin' run!
;D

Any DRs come across this yet?
(http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/0300110502.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_V37245382_.jpg) (http://www.amazon.com/Hitchcocks-Music-Jack-Sullivan/dp/0300110502/sr=8-1/qid=1168385210/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-4997729-8163855?ie=UTF8&s=books)
If so, any opinions? -It got a nice write up in yesterday's New York Times.
-
Has anyone yet mentioned the new Fiddler 2 disc DVD with the cut songs and scenes? I think it is issued in 10 days or so.

And speaking of the New York Times...
And movies...
And "Dreamgirls"...
I wonder if DR Tomovoz's reaction is based in what A. O. Scott considers the main fault of the film: it's music.
But the problem with “Dreamgirls” — and it is not a small one — lies in those songs, which are not just musically and lyrically pedestrian, but historically and idiomatically disastrous. This is a musical, after all, about music, about an especially vibrant and mutable strain of rhythm and blues that proclaimed itself, boastfully but not inaccurately, to be “the sound of young America.”
---------
The story of Curtis’s Rainbow Records is a familiar and potent tale of Faustian show-business ambition, as his climb to the top involves betraying and hurting the people closest to him. But without the right soundtrack, only half the story is being told. The performances are gratifyingly spirited, but what this movie most obviously lacks is soul.
The great Motown songwriters — Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, the trio of geniuses known to posterity as Holland-Dozier-Holland — turned out great pop songs by the dozen, cutting bolts of blues, gospel and rock ’n’ roll into clean, trim, shiny garments. It is vain to imagine that Mr. Krieger and Mr. Eyen, who died in 1991, could replicate the Motown sound in all its variety, but as it is, the film barely acknowledges its existence.
I'm not sure I would label the music "disastrous", but he does bring up a good point. -However, on the flip side, I would not have wanted to see Dreamgirls transformed into a juke-box musical. In any case...
I liked the film the first time I saw it... and the second time I saw it. And I'm sure a third viewing will be in my future too.
Just something to think about.

OK - Time to get cleaned up and rustle up some dinner.

Since the production company choses not to give you production credits, I suggest a small token of their appreciation;
They did give me an iPod, a nice itunes gift card and another hefty one to the Apple Store at the end of the first season. The second season, just a snow globe. But I'm well paid, so I am content just to receive the work!

No, but I'm going to look it up on Amazon.com! Yesterday I received the new book on the creation of LADY IN THE DARK.

Possibly Jose! It doesn't matter about the performace songs which I enjoyed. The "character" songs were just not good!
There was a musical here which was about a "Girlie group" doing Motown covers at the time of the Vietnam war. It was based on fact and was about an Aboriginal "family" whose journey to entertain the troops in Vietnam led to self discovery and self esteem etc. The drama was the important feature - the songs just gave a time frame and were "performance" songs only. For me it worked and I am usually against the whole idea of the Juke Box musical.
Dreamgirls. I didn't want it to be - and it was not written as - The Supremes. The Etta James type of perfomance has never had a market here in OZ. It may have a "truth" in the USA - the audience here truly found it laughable!
Did the Stage version have those allusions to Motown - Jackson Five etc. The liner notes for the OBC say (sort of) that it was not meant to be Motown
-
Great lyrics. Thanks to all.
The sun comes up: I think about you
The coffee cup: I think about you
I want you so
It's like I'm losing my mind
All afternoon
Doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand
In the middle of the floor
Vacuuming left
Vacuuming right
(Alternate lyric, with DR Matt in mind. ;D)
-
Do I keep falling in love
For just the kick of it,
Staggering through the thin and thick of it,
Hating each old and tired trick of it?
Know what I am? I'm good and sick of it!
-
Daddy spread the gospel in Milwaukee,
Took his walkie-talkie to Rocky Ridge.
Blew his way to Canton, then to Scranton,
Till he landed under the Manhattan Bridge.
Daddy was a new sensation,
Got himself a congregation,
Built up quite an operation
Down below.
With the pie-eyed piper blowing
While the muscatel was flowing,
All the cats were go-go-going
Down below.
-
Speaking of miracles, this must be it!
Just when I started to learn how to knit -
I'm all in stitches
From finding what riches
A waltz can reveal
With a real
Live
Girl!

They're coming to take me away, ha ha!
They're coming to take me away, ho ho!
To the funny farm...
(Not a good song, but the lyric sure is memorable.)

Another one that gets to me everytime:
...My brother lived in San Francisco.
He said he’d finally found his place.
And when I go to San Francisco,
Everywhere I look, I see his face.

I believe that was just to keep the lawsuits at bay.

Lyrics to shed a tear for Jose.
You are not alone.

DR Tomovoz - Of course, if you'd like, I guess I could send you a copy of the original Broadway production. Er.. I mean... If anything like that existed... :-X

Back from mix, rehearsal, and mix. Waiting for Miss Jessica Rush to arrive, after which we shall sup and then she will do some Kritzerland work.
Wonderful lyrics all.
-
The only lyrics that are now in my head are from The Brain.
You will quake with fear, you will shake with fright
When the tale is told of that fateful night
Twenty million miles to Earth they traveled
And not just to say "Hello"
-
Hello all!
I thought I had better sign in while I have the chance. We have another strong wind storm bearing down on us this evening, so power failures may not be far behind.

SAFE vibes for you and the families TCB.

In an April dream
Once she came to me
When you smiled I looked into your eyes
And I knew I'd be loving you
and then you touched my hand
And I learned April dreams can come true
Oh are we just April fools
Who can't see all the danger around us
If we're just April fools
I don't care, true love has found us now
-
When it all comes true,
Just the way you planned,
It's funny, but the bells don't ring.
It's a quiet thing.
When you hold the world
In your trembling hand,
You'd think you'd hear a choir sing.
It's a quiet thing.
There are no exploding fireworks.
Where's the roaring of the crowds?
Maybe it's the strange new atmosphere,
Way up here among the clouds.
But I don't hear the drums,
I don't hear the band.
The sounds I'm told such moments bring.
Happiness comes in on tiptoe.
Well, what d'ya know?
It's a quiet thing.
A very quiet thing.
-
Sometimes a day goes by.
-
Couples go past me, I see how they look.
So discreetly sympathetic when they see the rose and the book.
I make believe nothing is wrong, how long can I pretend?
Please make it right, don't break my heart, don't let it end, dear friend.

You're so late getting home from the office,
Did you miss your train?
Where you caught in the rain?
No, don't bother to explain.
Can I fix you a quick martini?
As a matter of fact
I'll have one with you,
For to tell you the truth
I've had quite a day too!
-
Miss Rush is quite late. Don't know how much work she'll get done this evening, and I won't have use of my computer until she's finished for the night.
-
How did I do 900 postings this fast?
-
100 more to 23,000 postings - who knew?
-
I know it's not Wednesday/tomorrow yet, but... Just been something I've been wondering about, been meaning to ask about...
What's the frell with some of our newest registered users (usernames, at least) who don't post?
Or are we not supposed to talk about them, like were not supposed to "talk" about the ads at the top of the page.
???
-
It's been Wednesday for over 13 hours Jose.
-
Miss Rush will be here in five minutes and then we shall rush to sup because I'm about to fall over from hunger. It's now too late to get in anywhere great, so it will be Jerry's or Art's or something like that.
-
MusicGuy sends his regards - he's changed computers, forgotten his password, and, of course, can't retrieve it - he'll probably reregister in the next few days.
-
Whilst Miss Rush uses the computer, I'm sure I'll watch a motion picture on DVD.

Anyone can whistle

Easy
Anyone can whistle
Any old day
Easy
It's all so simple
Relax, let go, let fly
So someone tell me why
Can't I

I'll face the unknown
I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I myself
I'm by myself
Alone.

I'm bidin' my time
'Cause that's the kind of guy I'm

Time to go home...finally.

Lovely pics from DR DANISE.
DR ELMORE we must of course have LADY IN THE DARK stories....we must.

Love the lyrics.....sad a lovely....sweet and low.

Heaven, I'm in heaven.
And the fears that hung around me through the week.
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak.
When we're out together
Dancing cheek to cheek.

So I don't share his name
So I don't wear his ring
So there's no piece of paper saying that he's mine
So we don't have the memories
I've had enough memories
I've washed enough mornings
I've dried enough evenings
I've had enough birthdays to know what I want
Life is anyone's guess
It's a constant surprise
Though you don't plan to fall in love
When you fall...you fall
I'd rather have fifty percent of him
Or any percent of him
Than all of anybody else at all

Once you told me I was mistaken.
That I 'd awaken with the sun.
And order orange juice for one.
It never entered my mind.

TV commercial rant:
By far the most offensive ad I've seen in recent months is that U.S. Army ad with the father and son...the crusty old guy (shown in closeup) and his puddin'-faced son (also shown in closeup).
The father says: "Yesterday, when you got off the bus, you did two things you've never done before:
"You looked me square in the eye, and you shook my hand.
"Where'd that come from?"
And puddin'-faced boy just absorbs "the moment" as a rite of passage.
Each time I see it, I yell out to the old man:
HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT FROM YOU, YOU MORON!
WHY DIDN'T HE?
The U.S. Army, for all it does and doesn't do, is not a substitute for the proper way for a man to greet another man...especially when that other man is your dad.
It sickens me every time I see it.
Rant over.

Once I was headed for hell.
Once I was headed for hell.
But when I got to Satan's door
I heard you blowin' on your horn once more.
So blow, Gabriel, blow.

Our love affair is a wondrous thing
That we'll rejoice in remembering
Our love was born with our first embrace
And a page was torn out of time and space
Our love affair, may it always be
A flame to burn through eternity
So take my hand with a fervent prayer
That we may live and we may share
A love affair to remember
-
You put your left hand in.
You take your left hand out.
You put your left hand in
and you shake it all about.
You do the hokey pokey
and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about.
You just can't beat a classic.
-
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday, Dear (insert name of birthday person).
Happy Birthday to you.

Our love affair was meant to be
It's me for you dear, and you for me
We'll fuss and quarrel
And tears start to brew
But after the tears, our love will smile through
I'm sure that I could never hide
The thrill I get when you're by my side
And when we're older, we'll proudly declare
"Wasn't ours a lovely love affair?"
-
Wacky, goony, goofy spoony,
High as a plane or balloon-y.
Crazy bus, come ride with us
As we ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride.
It's a crazy bus, but not a schmazy bus.
Don't make a fuss, just come with us.

I like New York in June,
how about you?
I like a Gershwin tune,
how about you?
I love a fireside
when a storm is due.
I like potato chips,
moonlight and motor trips,
how about you?
-
Well, they should put commericals out for that product!

There's a thought!
Off to watch THE MORE THE MERRIER!

At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
At last the skies above are blue
And my heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream that I can speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smiled, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
And you are mine at last
-
Isn't it romantic?
Music in the night, a dream that can be heard.
Isn't it romantic?
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word.
I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love.
Isn't it romantic
Merely to be young on such a night as this?
Isn't it romantic?
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss.
Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
Do you mean that I will fall in love perchance?
Isn't it romance?

Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
but last evening down in Lover's Lane she strayed, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone, madam,
She ran to the man who had led her so far astray,
And from under her velvet gown,
She drew a gun and shot her love down, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail, madam,
They strung her upon the old willow across the way,
And the moment before she died,
She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam......
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.

How about this one?
Meow, meow, meow, meow

Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow...

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.

Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off the 'gator lost his mind.
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
-
Hmm... I'm not sure... That would mean I would have to use the black notes... That's hard..
Never mind.

Tell ya 'bout them sobbin' women
Who lived in the Roman days.
It seems that they all went swimmin'
While their men was off to graze.
Well, a Roman troop was ridin' by
And saw them in their "me oh my",
So they took 'em all back home to dry.
Least that's what Plutarch says.
Oh yes!
Them a woman was sobbin', sobbin', sobbin'
Fit to be tied.
Ev'ry muscle was throbbin', throbbin'
From that riotous ride.
Oh they cried and kissed and kissed and cried
All over that Roman countryside
So don't forget that when you're takin' a bride.
Sobbin' fit to be tied
From that riotous ride!

Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had the one long horn, one big eye.
I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee"
It looks like a purple people eater to me.
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater.
One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
A one-eyed one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks stange to me.

ELEVENSES!

Somewhere, someday
We'll be close together, wait and see
Oh by the way,
This time the dream's on me
You take my hand
and you look at me adoringly
But as things stand
This time the dream's on me
It would be fun
To be certain that I'm the one
To know that I, at least, supply the shoulder you cry upon
To see you through
Till you're everything you want to be
It can't be true, but
This time the dream's on me
*I have very fond memories of dancing in the kitchen to Ella Fitzgerald's rendition. :)

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin'
Rawhide!
Rain and wind and weather
Hell-bent for leather
Wishin' my gal was by my side.
All the things I'm missin',
Good vittles, love, and kissin',
Are waiting at the end of my ride
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Rawhide
Count 'em out, ride 'em in,
Ride 'em in, count 'em out,
Count 'em out, ride 'em in
Rawhide!
-
Roll up the plains
There's too much view for me
There's so much space between
The waiting heart, and whispered word
It's never heard
One room will do for me
Where every evening I can stare
At someone smiling from his chair
Across the floor
A million miles away behind the door
-
I was born under a wanderin’ star
A wanderin’ wanderin’ star
Mud can make you prisoner
And the plains can bake you dry
Snow can burn your eyes
But only people make you cry
Home is made for comin’ from
For dreams of goin’ to
Which with any luck will never come true
-
When you're way up high, and you look below
At the world you've left and the things you know,
Little more than a glance is enough to show
You just how small you are.
When you're way up high, and you're on your own,
In a world like none that you've ever known,
Where the sky's like lead, and the earth's like stone,
You're free to do whatever pleases you.
Exploring things you'd never dared,
'Cause you don't care,
When suddenly there's
A big, tall, terrible giant at the door.
A big, tall, terrible lady giant sweeping the floor.
And she gives you food, and she gives you rest.
And she draws you close to her giant breast.
And you know things now, that you never knew before.
After the sky.

I'm up to the point in the Cukor biography where he's the stage manager of the Empire Theatre. There is a lot about the book I'm not remembering, and facts I know now about people that I didn't know when I first read the book, so it's a nice rediscovery.
-
I watched THE MATADOR tonight with Pierce Brosnan playing a hit man reaching a mid-life crisis and Greg Kinnear as the everyman who becomes his only friend. Kind of simple and sweet. Some laughs and, once again, thankfully not overlong for the story the writer/director is telling.

Careful the things you say,
Children will listen.
Careful the things you do,
Children will see.
And learn.
Children may not obey,
But children will listen.
Children will look to you
For which way to turn,
To learn what to be.
Careful before you say,
"Listen to me."
Children will listen.

LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT featured Doris Roberts as a matriarch of a powerful New York family with children and grandchildren operating behind her back doing, in some cases, some nefarious and even murderous things. D.W. Moffett and Richard Kind played her two sons. Very surprising murderer in this one.

Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir, not while I'm around.
Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I'll send 'em howling,
I don't care, I got ways.
No one's gonna hurt you,
No one's gonna dare.
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there.
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

Finished the evening with the new Courtney Cox drama DIRT on FX. Again, not terrible enough to make me tune out yet but certainly not the heart-stopping grand dramas that THE SHIELD and RESCUE ME are.
I mean, watching her use a vibrator a couple of times and having the word "bu**sh*t" exclaimed a couple of times is about as dramatic as the show has yet gotten. I still find some of the characters interesting and will continue watching for another week or two.

As long as he needs me
I know where I must be
In spite of what you see
I'm sure that he needs me.

TV commercial rant:
By far the most offensive ad I've seen in recent months is that U.S. Army ad with the father and son...the crusty old guy (shown in closeup) and his puddin'-faced son (also shown in closeup).
The father says: "Yesterday, when you got off the bus, you did two things you've never done before:
"You looked me square in the eye, and you shook my hand.
"Where'd that come from?"
And puddin'-faced boy just absorbs "the moment" as a rite of passage.
Each time I see it, I yell out to the old man:
HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT FROM YOU, YOU MORON!
WHY DIDN'T HE?
The U.S. Army, for all it does and doesn't do, is not a substitute for the proper way for a man to greet another man...especially when that other man is your dad.
It sickens me every time I see it.
Rant over.
And not every father is smart enough to teach these things to his son.
Get over it.

You put your left hand in.
You take your left hand out.
You put your left hand in
and you shake it all about.
You do the hokey pokey
and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about.
You just can't beat a classic.
Oh, yes!!!

Have you heard of this product called Head On. You apply it directly to the forehead! :P
I'm waiting for them to put out a diet pill.
They can call it Ass Off.

The Lord is good to me
And so I thank the Lord
For giving me
The things I need
The sun, the rain, and an apple seed
The Lord is good to me.

Time to wuss.
I got a call, asking me to come in earlier than scheduled. One of my co-worker's mother is having surgery tomorrow, and she needed help covering her time.
And vibage.

Off to bed now!
Good night!

I'm home, I'm home from an average day
I'm home, I'm home from a day of play
I'm home, I'm home did I slam the door?
I'll try not to do it any more.

Mama Mia was great! I'm so used to bad touring shows here that it was a total treat to see talent. And it is such a fun show.
Jose, I said hi to Emily for you, she says hi. Every time I got close to the pit Bill had just walked away, but Emily said she mentioned it to him.

The cats are wild tonight. Not sure why

(verse)
Maybe I'm old-fashioned, feeling like I do
Maybe I am living in the past
But when I meet the right one
I know that I'll be true
My first love will be my last
(chorus)
When I fall in love, it will be forever,
Or I'll never fall in love.
In a restless world, like this is
Love is ended before it’s begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I'll fall in love with you

Well, I've got to get to get some sleep. I played the the cats a little and they have calmed down. I have lots of writing to do tomorrow at work, so I need some rest. 'Night

Good night, Cillaliz. 8)

Another hundred lyrics just flew out of my brain
As I stand here on stage
With another hundred lyrics that I'll never recall
And on every damn page
There's another hundred lyrics that'll drive me insane
Right in front of you all, cause the words are a pain
Not to mention the sprawl of the melody.
(lyrics by Lauren Mayer)

Has anyone guessed that I'm about to sigh off and get some sleep

Love's the thing I crave
But I don't like pain a lot
That's why I abstain a lot
I don't mean to complain a lot
But it's why I tend to gain a lot of weight
Waiting for the right one to come
But the dirty bum just won't show up
So once again I fill my coffee cup
And add my bit of sugar and cream
And drink up while I'm waiting for my dream

A log thrown on the fire,
Two profiles met as one,
The igniting of desire in the air,
But when there's just one profile,
And yet desire grows,
Despite the fact there's no one else to care.
Must romance be abandoned as it's fanning it's own flame waiting to burst full-blown?
No.
There's a special kind of bliss, not engendered by a kiss
Surreptitiously indulged in less well known
For when one cannot make love with another,
One can still make love alone.
;)

You're impressed by a man who is brawny
A man with a nice set of pecs
Look at them with their strength and their size
And their muscles that rise when they flex

I'm a good girl it's true
I'm all sweetness and light
I get straight A's and make my parents proud
But when I'm next to you
And I'm out of their sight
Then I go to where good girls aren't allowed

I am watching one of the all-time worst movies ever made - I should have turned it off eighty minutes ago, but I have to watch until the bitter, and I do mean bitter, end.
