Post by: bk on January 18, 2007, 12:14:51 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes were quite civilized, if not colonized, and now it is time for you to post until the colonized cows come home - they're currently at The Colony doing cow-like things.

Got yet another amazon order today - I'm bored of sending these CDs, unless, that is, they actually sell them - then I'll be happy.  But, I send, it takes them forever to even log them in, then, because they're a month behind in terms of payments, seeing any dough is two months away.

Todays chic tip!

How to be productive- multi-task! There are more combinations of simple things that we feel we must do inividually and take up twice as much time than I thought were possible!

I will now tell you the bad examples listed.

Find combo's that work for you, such as reading the newspaper while exercising- make's people nauseous.

excersice as you tidy up the house...how? Sounds more like an excuse to not actually excersise to me.  "Reaching for that vaccum cleaner really worked my arms!"

I'm going to have to think about the Topic of the Day.  And I know that I will count a series of books as one selection...it's only fair. ;)
Title: Re:COLONIZING AT THE COLONY
Post by: George on January 18, 2007, 01:24:58 AM
So I'll start with my first choice:  the Benjamin Kritzer trilogy (and it really would be my first choice) :)

My second choice would be the five-book "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" trilogy by the late Douglas Adams.

My third choice would be Stephen King's seven volume Dark Tower series (I only read the first two...when they first came out). ::)

My fourth choice would be the Harry Potter series...including book #7 (I haven't ready ANY of them).

And I'll stop there.

Good morning, all!  Yes, I was up at 2:30 am.  I had a very strange anxiety attack suspecting the neighbor above me of being a terrorist planning to bomb the apartment building.  It sounds funny typing that but I don't know why the thought took over my reasoning and prevented my sleep.  So I got out of bed around 3, played at the computer and went back to bed.  I have a full day of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, Toyland, and a visit with my Library of Congress friends.  I suspect I will be a long one.

Happy belated anniversary DR Ginny and Richard.

And re: TAR for DR TCB.

I'm not sure if anybody answered your question (if lance bass' boyfriend was in TAR allstars).  His former boyfriend was Reichen from Chip and Reichen (winners). And no they are not one of the teams involved in TAR allstars.  There is only one winner (joyce and uchenna). Although there is also one team that was dating during the show but broke up (jill and john vito). Hope that helps.

Sick and tired of love

From below and above
Tired, tired of being admired
Tired of love uninspired
Let's face it

Again and again
They promise the moon
They always coming and going
Going and coming
And always too soon

...David Pogue, an excellent technology/computer columnist for the New York Times).

DR Ben - in 2000, DH Richard and DS Rob went with me to Chicago for the American Library Association annual conference.  It was so much fun to turn them loose in the exhibit hall and meet up later - they'd open their goodie bags and say, "Look what I got!" (like trick or treat).  David Pogue, autographing books at the O'Reilly booth, was so nice to Rob, encouraging his interest in computers and letting me take a picture of the two of them.

David Pogue is a great columnist and writer. I like him because he doesn't talk down to people, he's excited about what he does, he's intelligent but can share that intelligence in a way that most people can understand and he seems to be a genuinely nice guy, a seeming rarity nowadays. Before he became columnist for the NY Times he had a life in musical theatre. He was a musician and played in the pit of some Broadway shows!

Tonight is so chock-full of potentially memorable TV.

For comic book fans, we see the first incarnation of the Justice League of America on SMALLVILLE just filled to the brim with major male eye candy. Green Arrow, Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg from previous seasons all turn up needing Clark's help. This should be a very entertaining hour of comic book-level fun.

Over at CSI, we welcome Liev Schreiber as William Petersen's temporary replacement in the lab for the first of a story arc for him. The episode has gotten good advanced reviews, so it should be something to see, too. Always interesting when a new face enters an established ensemble cast, especially when the new face is going to be the new boss.

Re AMERICAN IDOL last night:

One of the things I found really touching last night involved the brother and sister who were both passed along to Hollywood. After Simon told the brother he had a better voice than his sister (and the sister had said outside that she considereed that she had the better voice), the brother hedged his answer when Ryan Seacrest asked him who the judges thought had the better voice. I found that wonderful that he didn't embarrass his sister on national TV even though he could have very easily. I suspect those two siblings love each other very much, and it was a beautiful thing to see.

I guess it's moments like this that make suffering through all the bad singers tolerable. The IDOL editors are very canny about including this kind of footage amid all the bad singing and weird personalities.

"Hey, Jose.  Are you available to play today?"
-When?
"Well... Now, actually.  Our pianist hasn't shown up yet."
-What?.. Oh... Hmm...  Well, it would take me at least a half hour to get down there right now.
"Oh, OK.  Well, I'll call around, and I'll give you a call if I can't track someone else down."
-Oh, OK... Thanks.

Thanks all for the birthday felicitations!

My ten desert island books:

1) SHE by H. Rider Haggard

2) THE FAR CRY by Fredric Brown

3) THE GREEN MAN by Henry Treece

4) THE COMPLETE WORKS OF SHAKESPEARE

5) THE ODYSSEY

6) THE ILLIAD

7) THE COMPLETE WORKS OF GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

8 THE ANNOTATED SHERLOCK HOLMES

9) THE ESSENTIAL ELLISON

10) ROGET'S THESAURUS...that way I could write too, if I could find some paper on that desert island.  I supposed I could use the margins of the Complete Works of Shakespeare, if I could find a pencil.

Re: "American Idol" -- I'd give a pretty to know how much money the "Idol" producers pay those woebegone contestants who are set up for national humiliation.

Surely there's a stipend for the ridiculing, belittling and assassinating thrust upon those sorry folks.

He mentioned on the "Survivor" finale that he was going to be on "Janice Dickinson".  And since Janice always makes her models take off all their clothes at their initial photo-shoot/audition....  HOT!!!!

It's funny but this guy does nothing for me at all.  I thought he was cute before i saw him on survivor. But i really did not like his personality at all and was very happy when he got voted off.

Re AMERICAN IDOL last night:

One of the things I found really touching last night involved the brother and sister who were both passed along to Hollywood. After Simon told the brother he had a better voice than his sister (and the sister had said outside that she considereed that she had the better voice), the brother hedged his answer when Ryan Seacrest asked him who the judges thought had the better voice. I found that wonderful that he didn't embarrass his sister on national TV even though he could have very easily. I suspect those two siblings love each other very much, and it was a beautiful thing to see.

I guess it's moments like this that make suffering through all the bad singers tolerable. The IDOL editors are very canny about including this kind of footage amid all the bad singing and weird personalities.

Yes, that was a nice touch -- especially after the outbursts of ego from so many of the untalented -- also the gal in the pink "net" that Simon said made her look sunburned.  She was out there laughing with her friends afterward, admitting that her nerves got the best of her on the high notes, and that she hoped she was better than her audition or either her friends had been lying to her (and she really didn't have an awful audition, seemed nerves got a few of her notes but parts weren't that bad either -- she was poetry compared to "Red"...) -- but she came across as a good sport.

I concur with DR Rodzinski's assessment of last night's "Medium."

I like this cast immensely, and nothing on TV matches the family dynamic...WHEN the family is actually interacting.

Last night....well....I knew murder had been done after her first dream.  When I saw the flashback of the boy with the older man and the "lad", I knew instantly who that the "lad" was and what had probably happened.

I wasn't bored...but I certainly wasn't challenged.

What bent me out of shape, however, was the ending.  If they're going to let us figure everything out before Allison does, how come we don't at least get to see the murderer's comeuppance?

No, it's not just you.  Simon apparently got a kick saying, "The 'other' door."

This has never been part of the audition ordeal before.  In Minneapolis, it was a fluke.  In Seattle it was a "planned thing."

Re: american idol


I've always believed that there is a  reason the delusionals are so shocked to hear they are bad.

You don't just get to automatically get to sing in front of simon, randy and paula. You have to go through a few preliminary rounds first.

These bad people are told that they've made it through each round.

Now what i want to know is if these people are told they are good before they make it through each round. Or if they are merely told they've made it to the next round.

Because if it's the former, and the bad ones are told they are good. Then i get why they would be shocked to find out they suck.

I actually liked last night's episode. But i too missed seeing the kids. We didn't get one glimpse of them.

The one part i will agree on is that it was obvious who the "lad" (older boy) with the older gent was. I knew that immediately.

And as for the ending, i've gotten used to them ending abruptly. So this time it didn't bother me as much (since we basically knew what was going to happen).

I read some sad news today relevant to the film music community.  

One of Bruce Kimmel's contemporaries -- a British chap named
 David Wishart
(http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.musicweb-international.com/film/photo1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.musicweb-international.com/film/wishart.htm&h=361&w=243&sz=20&hl=en&start=16&tbnid=r_Hk596IUjLErM:&tbnh=121&tbnw=81&prev=/images%3Fq%3DDAvid%2BWishart%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN)-- passed last night from cancer.  David had been sick for quite some time, and he had been in and out of hospital and taking chemo.  Thankfully, he was able to be at home during Christmas, and he even posted a bit on some of the forums he frequented.

Wishart was a producer of soundtrack CDs.  He had his own label for a while -- Cloud Nine Records -- on which he issued some treasured scores by Bernard Herrmann, Miklos Rozsa, Dimitri Tiomkin and John Williams.

He also worked extensively producing for Silva Screen Records (UK), and he produced many film music collections of British composers.

It's a devastating loss to the community -- David was a gentleman, an educator, a generous soul, and he had a wicked sense of humor.  He was one of those people who never seemed to age, and I often accused him of having a grotesque portrait of himself under lock and key.

To have his voice silenced is an egregious loss.

It's "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency".  It's on the Oxygen network.  And, yes, it's trash TV.  But trash TV with some nice eye candy.  Janice Dickinson was the first "supermodel", and she's opened her own agency, and made the whole process into a "reality" TV show.  -Just sooooo much drama.  However, with Janice Dickinson, at you're very aware that is it she who is causing all the drama.  And she knows it too.

Here's the link for the show's website: Janice Dickinson (http://www.oxygen.com/janice/)

Britain rallies around 'racism' row Bollywood actress

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070118/wl_afp/afpentertainmentbritain_070118104159

I was just reading that in the newspaper. Shilpa Shetty is a wonderful Indian actress and I have enjoyed her in many films...I actually thought it odd that she would be on Big Brother Celebrity since she is not yet a has been actress...although she is at an age when her roles might start turning from ingenue to "mother" roles (I think she is about mid to late 30s now).

I might have to get this one when it comes out on DVD in England.

As you know, I was not being a prodigal son, or a sonigal prod, but rather had some computer challenges.  I am happy to report that the nimble and pixie-like Mr. M. Bakalor diagnosed it, resolved it, and sent me the solution, all withing about 45 minutes!

I sent him such a glowing thank you note, that he probably thinks i was trying to pick him up.  ::)  

So, HUZZAH for Mr Bakalor.

And re: TAR for DR TCB.

I'm not sure if anybody answered your question (if lance bass' boyfriend was in TAR allstars).  His former boyfriend was Reichen from Chip and Reichen (winners). And no they are not one of the teams involved in TAR allstars.  There is only one winner (joyce and uchenna). Although there is also one team that was dating during the show but broke up (jill and john vito). Hope that helps.


Thanks, Jennifer.  That is too bad.  I might have actually watched if Reichen was on the show.  He may be an ass, but he sure is a pretty one.

Or you could give your ticket to a fellow artist who tried to get a ticket to the concert, but did not make it to the box office before it sold out.

Seriously... I'm sure there will be other people coughing... And talking on their cell phones... Or filming the concert with their cellphones for YouTube.com...

I had an interesting thing with our producer/creator today - I'd given a note to an actor yesterday, asking him to try something - because the vocals on the songs are different voices, there's one solo bit that's a very LOW voice, which doesn't match our actor's voice at all.  So, I had him do the line into the song, going from his higher normal voice into a low voice for his final line of dialogue - on purpose.  He did it today and it got a big laugh - just perfect.  We had to stop because of a tech issue and our producer/creator asked him to try it in a completely different way - doing the line in a completely phony high voice.  I turned to him strongly and said, "No - it just worked perfectly."  And he said "I want to try it this way," and proceeded to tell the actor how to do it.  The actor just looked confused, because the producer/creator is not a director.  The actor did it, and it was awful.  Later, the producer/creator came up to me and told me I was right, but that he'd just wanted to try it.  I told him that trying things is fine, but that he has to filter his actor notes through me - actors cannot have notes coming from anyone but the director - he totally understood.

And then when the actor did it at the second run-through, the way we'd done it with the low voiced last line, it got an even bigger laugh.  I did not gloat, oh, no, I did not gloat.

We had a lunch break today, so we wandered over to the mall and to the food court, and we got a couple of slices of Sbarro pizza.  I have always hated Sbarro in NY, but had never had it out here.  True to form, it was wretched and I was sorry to have wasted the calories on the piece and a half I had.  To get the taste out of my mouth I had two Mrs. Field's sugar cookies.  I also used my See's gift certificate and currently have a one-pound box of dark chocolate nuts and chews (and a few other things I found interesting) in my fridge.

An ethical question:  While I feel great otherwise, my cough is lingering.   But I have a ticket to see the Kristin Chenoweth concert at the Met tomorrow night and really want to see it.  But I'm sure that my cough may annoy other patrons.  Do I go and enjoy the concert, or would etiquette require that I not go in order to spare  the people around me the annoyance of hearing a semi-persistent cough, or at the very least, a consistent onslaught of cough drops during the performance?

I have found Ricola cough drops to be very effective. I'd go, armed with a whole bag, and if it gets too bad just excuse yourself.

-And I just made the truck reservation online too!
