Well, you've read the notes, the notes were full speed ahead, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're just sitting there like so much fish since they have no clew what full speed ahead means.
-
And the word of the day is: KATZENJAMMER!

And now, a word from our sponsor:

And now, a word from our alternate sponsor:

THIS IS A POST
-
Im not sure about perplexing, but I have a big problem with time management...
-
For me, it's any higher or even lower math. My brain simply does not function that way.
-
Welcome six GUESTS. Who are you people?
-
I am very tired right now. I hope all goes well tomarrow with everyone!
-
I had a math problem until I discoverd the secret to it, then it became easy for me, but I still get lazy and complain about it.
-
heh, I just pictured a man telling cows to move full speed ahead, and the cows just staring back at him, chewing....
-
It made me laugh
-
My Chic Chick card of the night had to do with when to break off a friendship/ job/ habit.
When something is detracting from your life more than it's adding too it- it is time to call it quits.
So True!!!!!! This was a lesson I have had to learn recently, as i have always had a problem with letting go or admiting a thing wasn't good for me anymore. Especially with video games.
-
ok, I'll go to bed now...
-
I hope tomarrow is a beautiful day outside.
-
LOL one thing I have to learn is how to spell tomorrow.
-
I suppose I shall toddle off to the bedroom environment.
-
Now that it's Tuesday, that means that tomorrow (Wednesday) I get paid! And I'll finally be able to order "The Brain From Planet X" and the Joan Ryan CDs!
-
Pleased you enjoyed "The Butterfly". We caught up with Studio Ghibli's "Whisper of The Heart" last night. Another gem of a movie.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up! I'm up! It's not even 7:00am and I'm up!
::)
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
In college: Calculus - I had tested it into the class, so... However, after two attempts, I finally switched back to Algebra to fulfill my math requirement.
Out of college: Programming an E-mu 5000 Ultra Sampler. It was a pretty powerful piece of computer-music equipment. Powerful and complicated.
-
Good morning, DR Jose!
-
*And what an appropriate title for today's notes... at least in regards to my upcoming adventure today. Hopefully, in 12 hours, we should be in NYC... Well, excited and scared
-
Good Morning, to you too, DR edisaurus!
-
Well, it's time to move the boxes...
Laters...
-
In college: Logic, and second species counterpoint. (Never did do well at logic...)
Out of college: Linear editing was something I never mastered. I went straight from film to AVID with a short and very miserable period of non-linear.
The D-Vision editing system: This was an early, cheap non-linear system. Showtime bought a bunch of them for a series I worked on. They were horrible! They hired someone to teach me the system but it was futile. I had already been working on the AVID system, which is very intuitive and I could not make any sense out of how this system worked. They had budgeted a 4 week edit. I told them that if they rented an AVID for me, I could do it in two. I ended up doing it in 10 days. They wanted me to stay in LA and continue on with the series but at that point I was ready to just get home. (My car had been broken into and a lot of my stuff was stolen, including my camera and plane ticket...it was not a fun trip.)
And where is the D-Vision NOW??? AVID (and Final Cut) OWN the market!
-
Happy and safe moving---try to stay warm!
-
Good morning, all! I have a 9 AM meeting in Toyland, and after that the NYPL. Beyond that, God alone knows. I do know that before the day is over I have to schedule a complete physical exam with my doctor and update the prescription I tried to fill yesterday.
TOD: lines. when I was acting, I did two Ionesco one-acts, MAID TO MARRY and THE BALD SOPRANO. Every line was a non-sequitur, especially the first one and the second had that whole crazy Bobby Watson exchange. I thought I would never memorize the damned things and remember the cues as well. I'm much better with a piece of music.
-
Mornin' Lar.
TOD: Easy, math beyond standard division, multiplication, addition and subtraction. I just didn't get and I still don't. I have no desire to "get it" either.
That's it for now.
-
Oh, hell. Let's just move on to Page 2 (after this post, that is).
-
And here we are.
Bye for now.
-
Good morning, I seem to be all alone.
-
I must don the long johns and bundle up so I can drive to a meeting a couple hours from here. The downside, it's below zero and windy. The upside, the meeting is near where my parents live so I get to see them today
-
Good morning, I seem to be all alone.
I'm here for a second! Hello, dear!
-
Morning elmore
-
I must go now. Take care
-
And the word of the day is: KATZENJAMMER!
You got to be KIDDING
-
TOD
Don't know how to answer this one
-
Good Morning, One and All and All and One,
TOD: Perplexing thing? I'd have to see either tying my shoelaces or telling time. The concepts of either one were hard to grasp no matter how people tried to explain it. And then one day, Voila!!! It all made sense.
I've been telling time and tying my shoelaces all on my own now for about 2 or 3 years! Go know!
Such watch!
-
TOD - imaginary numbers. I could do what I needed to do to get the answer, but I could never figure out the point.
-
Math was never my strong suit, either....even now!
-
For DR TPUNK - I will second DR MATTH's suggestion of BIG EDEN and add a German film called THE TRIO with Gotz George....
Father, daughter, and his lover are a trio of pickpockets. When the lover is injured a NEW person comes into the mix. And of course both of the pickpockets fall in love with him.
-
So DR ELMORE has a ranch out west? Who knew?

Re: last night's HEROES.
SPOILERS.
Am I the only one who thinks they give way too much away in the previews? I didn't find anything particularly surprising. They showed claire calling her mother repeatedly on the promos and the previews. The one thing that i did find totally surprising was near the end when i thought peter had flown out the window.
I am so glad that claire found a way to reunite with zach. I don't know why but there scenes are my favorite. So now claire is now one of my top heroes to watch. I also absolutely love hiro. He is so sweet. The only thing is that i wish he would start talking english more (as i have to lean towards the tv to read the subtitles).
I don't hate niki as much as usual. The stuff with the shrink is the most interesting thing i've seen from her. And of course micah's revelation was promoted heavily (didn't they even show him saying his final line??)
Matt is getting very boring to me. Although his last line was cute. The sylar thing was predictable (to me). And i could swear the hiro revelation was also spoiled somehow (don't remember how but was not surprised at all).
One thing that i actually did find quite interesting was when father bennett saw the windchimes. Does he now know about claire and the haitian?
-
TOD:
In high school, I had a hell of a time with math--algebra, geometry, calc--I could not grasp the concepts and my grades showed for it. During my initial tenure in college, I avoided my math requirements all together. But then I learned computer programming and something clicked and I suddenly became a math genius. When I went back to finish college, I took my math classes and aced them without a sweat.
One thing that I've never have been able to completely comprehend is chess. I know some of the basic rules but I've never understood such simple moves such as castling or rooking or what a French Defense or King's Gambit is. I even tried a few PC games to learn but they advanced too quickly for me to follow. It is something that I someday hope to thouroughly learn.
-
This is such a good recap for last night's HEROES:

Did I miss it, or did no one already point out that AVID spelled backwards is DIVA?
-
TOD: The most limiting thing I could never get the knack of is driving, or more specifically parking.

Yeah, I hate how much they give away in previews, too. We knew that Skyler was going to speak to HRG, that Micha was going to reveal his secret to his dad, and that Clair was going to contact her mother. And the identity of the "Big Boss" that Hiro and Andro were being brought to had been revealed weeks ago in the various entertainment news columns. The only real surprises were Matt's wife's pregnancy and Clair's mother's cigarette-lighting trick.
So who do you think is Clair's real father? I'm thinking that it's either Niki's father (it did look like a large man in the previews) or that it's actually HRG, since he does seem to really and truly care for Clair.
-
TOD: The most limiting thing I could never get the knack of is driving, or more specifically parking.
DR FJL, I could not parallel park to save my life until I was in my mid 30's. It became extremely necessary to learn once I started living in the city.
-
Yes, the basics of chess have always eluded me. I tried to play a few times as a youngster but it never made any sense to me so I let it go. I still don't know how to play and have no desire to learn.
-
I drive decently but my parallel parking skills are not strong. Since I drive about once a year and avoid PPing when I do it's not much of a problem anymore.
-
When I took my driving test so many years ago, IIRC, i did fine in terms of those points they deduct during the driving part, but went way over my limit of points in the parking portion of the test. But i never felt fully comfortable behind the wheel, so i just didn't bother. No regrets for now, it's just a fact of my life, but there are some (so far, minor) inconveniences, like when we were out at the Seattle-area festival last summer and needed the help of others (for example, the wonderful PennyO) to get around to social functions and such.
-
Actually, that was great to "need" PennyO to drive us in Seattle, because it gave us more time with her, which was just lovely.
-
I have been driving since I was 17. I have only had to parallel park twice in my life!
I hate left turns at busy stoplights (when there are no Left Turn lanes or signals). People who don't use turn signals. People who are turning onto a street and will not wait for you to pass, even though there is NO ONE behind you - and then they turn left after one block.
People who drive and talk on the telephone. People who are out of their lanes making it difficult for you to turn onto a street.
Maybe I should just stop driving, too. :)
-
Good morning everyone. Thanks again for all of the film suggestions. And FJL, I'm going to screen Friends and Family and if the steering committee decides to add it to the line up, I might just take you up on your offer.
-
My biggest gripe about driving these days is not always being able to see beyond the vehicle that's just ahead of you because it's a humongo SUV. With more and more of these gas gugglers on the road, it's more and more of an issue when one still drives a sedan. The stupid thing is that this is one of the reasons I'm thinking of making the switch over to one.
-
I've never learned how to tap dance. I would love to be able to do a basic step or two.
-
TPunk - Here is the website for FRIENDS AND FAMILY, in case it helps. It hasn't been updated in a while, but it might give you an idea of whether it's appropriate.

DR DtM - tap dancing is easy compared to driving and chess.
-
Good morning!
Beautiful but very, very cold, and it's only going to get colder. We may even get snow on Thursday!
-
Page Three MULAN Dance!!!
-
DR DtM - tap dancing is easy compared to driving and chess.
That sounds like the first line of a song if I ever heard one!
-
Anyone can tap dance
That's what they say
Easy
Anyone can lap dance
That's what they say
Easy
-
I'll add myself to the chess group. My brother tried to teach me when we were teenagers, and I ended up having him hit me over the head with the board because I just could NOT remember which directions the pieces moved. I could learn lines in plays and lyrics in songs easily, but I couldn't learn what to do with a bishop or rook. Argh!
-
I could move a bishop
Any old day
Easy
I could slice a fish up
Any old way
Easy
-
But drive a Hummer
That's something I could never do
It's such a bummer
'Cause I'd drive it straight to you
-
As for math problems, I would have been a member of that group had my mother not been an algebra teacher.
I had a HORRIBLE Algebra I teacher, and I came home every day and my mother retaught me the day's lesson. Had I not gotten that firm foundation from her, the rest of high school and college math classes would have been a nightmare. However, due to her and her alone, I never had a problem making A's in all my advanced classes. In fact, I took trig in eleventh grade, and I remember one night, my mom came into the dinign room and looked over my shoulder while I was doing my trig homework. She said that the stuff I was doing was what she did her junior year in college. That made me feel like a million bucks.
-

AMAZING!!!
-
Yes, I agree that NBC promos give too much away in advertising the upcoming episodes. I don't look at previews if I can help it, but it's hard to advoid the promos that NBC airs endlessly during commercial breaks for all of their upcoming shows.
I knew George Takei was going to play Hiro's father. I just had no idea that's who the Big Boss was.
-
Sunday and Monday I went for a walk and this is what I saw:

I've never learned how to tap dance. I would love to be able to do a basic step or two.
Oh, DR DAN (the MAN), do take a tap class. It's soooo much fun! And VERY aerobic.
-
And this:
-
I have last night's STUDIO 60 to watch today, and then, depending on mail delivery, I'll put in THE LEFT HANDED GUN.
-
Great owl, DR Laura.
-
AMAZING!!!
Midwest mall parking rulz. ;D
-
The two NBC LAW & ORDER shows appear to be reruns tonight, but BOSTON LEGAL is new, and so is VERONICA MARS. Of course, IDOL has more auditions tonight, this time from Birmingham.
Unfortunately for me, my local CW affiliate is preempting VERONICA MARS for an ACC basketball game. They are showing VERONICA at 11:35, but it won't be in high definition. Drat!
-
Love those lyrics, DR FJL.
-
B D Wong in Herringbone. I hope the pants match the jacket!
-
When I was in college I had the worst time with statistics. We had three textbooks and they seemed to me to be contradictory. I struggled and struggled and finally thought I'd reconciled it, only to learn that one of the textbooks was INCORRECT!! How do teachers/schools get away with this? Surely they could have let us know. Anyway, I never could get straightened out after that. Once I learn something wrong it's difficult to unlearn.
End of rant.
-
I agree about the SUVs and the danger they pose on the highway but also in parking lots. I'm ALWAYS fearful when I have to park next to one that when I leave and am trying to back out, my little car will be obscured by the big SUV and I won't be able to see what's coming until it's too late and thus someone will run into me.
I understand that for families, they're great. My friend John has one, and when his entire family and I go out to dinner together, they're very convenient to pile everyone into. But otherwise, I do find them a problem otherwise.
-
Many years ago a mechanic friend tried to teach me how automotive engines worked. I wanted to learn, but could never grasp it. Mechanical ability still isn't one of my strong points.
-
Jrand - When the Arts Equity Theatre did Herringbone last month in Vancouver WA (not with BD Wong in Vancouver), the pants did indeed match the jacket. A little ratty, though, as seen in this photo (second one down):

TOD:
Math...still don't get it and my brain freezes up at the mere mention of anything to do with numbers.
Learning a foreign language. I have tried Japanese, German, Spanish, and Hindi....it is fun to learn (or try to learn), but not easy...and it always irritates me when people insist that immigrants learn English, as if it is something they should learn overnight and feel comfortable speaking right away.
-
Did I miss it, or did no one already point out that AVID spelled backwards is DIVA?
Maybe that's why I feel such a kinship with it!
Actually, my DH will probably soon own his own DIVA. The letters stand for words like Digital, Audio, Interface, stuff like that.
He's going to work on a great documentary this summer, by one of my favorite doc makers. (He made "Standing in the Shoadows of Motwn.) They shot some of it last year and it looks like the director will be able to secure the funding and have a very nice shoot!
-
Good grief, DR FJL. That is a suit what AM a suit!
-
Good morning, all and one.
It's Tuesday....feels like Thursday....oughta be Friday.
But what the hey?
-
I am so-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o ready for retirement, and yet I'm just not "there" yet.
-
DR EDISAURUS - what Showtime show did you work on?
-
When I was in college I had the worst time with statistics.
My best friend had to take that when we were in college. She always referred to it as "sadistics".
-
Love the pix, DR Laura, especially the owl!
-
Oh dear I worked for 10 years in Research & Statistics for the Indiana Dept of Labor and liked it very much.
-
I'm making a meat loaf today, so I will be heading downstairs in just a bit to get that ready. I haven't had one in quite awhile, and I'm looking forward to it.

Lovely photos, DR LAURA.
Whoooooooooooooooooooooo!

Should schools, instead, create immigrant-language classes for all the other students to take so they can communicate with the immigrant children?
Should all businesses be required to hire immigrant-language-speaking clerks?
I believe in giving folks breaks...and helping them to learn...and bending over backwards to ensure they have a full grasp on what is going on around them.
But...I draw the line at mandating that their language and their culture supersede our own. If you want to live in America, learn to BE an American.
If I were to move to Greece or Italy or wherever, believe me I would attempt to "BE" Greek or Italian.

DR EDISAURUS - what Showtime show did you work on?
Oh God, I'm almost embarrased to say. I only did one episode and although the people were nice, we didn't know what we were getting into when the director and I signed on. She and I have had a long working relationship so we were able to laugh about it, but it was a pretty awful show that was supposed to be a women's answer to RED SHOE DIARIES. It was called WOMEN, STORIES OF PASSION. When we went to their studio, we stopped in Mary Woronov's editing room and there was some sexually graphic stuff on screen. My director grabbed my hand and dragged me into the hall and screamed "We're making PORN! ARGHHH!"
I don't think it would qualify---it was less exciting than soft-core porn so I usually refer to it as "flaccid core". Every few month I would get a phone call from friends who saw my name in the opening credits. Of course, then, they "had" to watch it!
-
LOL......
-

Wouldn't think of doing one without using onion. Headed down now to get started.

DR RLP, my point was that many people that I know simply feel the immigrants should know English...now...immediately. They don't understand that it doesn't happen overnight (since, of course they have never tried to learn another language or have forgotten what it was like to learn) and that just because they hear someone speaking in their native tongue doesn't mean that that person is not learning English or desiring to learn.
I was just saying that learning a new language is not easy. I know a little bit of Japanese and German, but I wouldn't feel comfortable speaking it in public, and I know that many people who move here, or are here only temporarily, may know some English but feel shy about using it.
I think you read a great deal more into my post then was there.
And as far as learning to BE an American.....which is and has always been an everchanging mixture of cultures....that is a whole other topic.

OMG! DR Edi, did you happen to work on the "The Little Vampire" episode? A friend of mine from college, Steve Langa, was in that one! You probably have seen his--*ahem*--work.

Wednesday greetings! We had a dusting of snow during this morning's commute, but not enough to keep me from getting to work.
Spent the morning putting up my "I [heart] BOOKS" display, in which each book has the word heart (or heartland, heartwarming, heartburn, etc.) in the title or subtitle. Our graphic artist made a beautiful sign for me - tomorrow I'll bring my camera and take a picture for y'all to see.
-
Good morning dear Esteemed, rested, well-sped, and fully torpedo-damned BK --
You mentioned "Experiment In Terror" yesterday. It happened to come on the TV (one of the TCM or AMC stations) yesterday or the day before while I was doing some work in my kitchen........I actually had to turn it off right after the opening and the garage door closes. It is still just way too scary -- which obviously means that it is terribly well written, filmed, and acted!
-
TOD - Driving a standard transmission. When I was ready to learn to drive, between my junior and senior years in college (yes, I was a late-bloomer), my father had a 1967 (can you say "vintage"?) Ford Mustang, with a stick shift. He told me if I could learn to drive it, I could have it. I never did get the hang of it and, to expedite getting my license, took the path of lesser resistance and learned on my mother's Pontiac, which was an automatic.
Oh, and singing, but I'll let DR Elmore tell you that story :P
-
DR RLP, my point was that many people that I know simply feel the immigrants should know English...now...immediately. They don't understand that it doesn't happen overnight (since, of course they have never tried to learn another language or have forgotten what it was like to learn) and that just because they hear someone speaking in their native tongue doesn't mean that that person is not learning English or desiring to learn.

Ummm.....sorry. I allowed your post to set me off, but it wasn't about what you said...it was about things I've let simmer re: what's happening California. immigrants want their kids in school, they want socialized medicine and welfare...but they don't necessarily want citizenship. They work without social security cards and lord knows what taxes, if any, they actually pay (I'm sure it's taken out, but not sure it's actually reported to government). There are plenty of businessmen here who want their immigrants to remain non-citizens....they work more cheaply, and there isn't any legal way to report what they pay them.
I didn't take your post to mean what I was talking about. I thoroughly understand your compassion.
-
And as for the TOD:
yes, math puzzled me (and didn't interest me)......chess was hard but I learned it a little, unlike mah-jong which I couldn't even start to grasp.....My first full version of "Finale" software which had an instruction manual that looked like a phone book!.....
But all of that paled and was nothing, compared to having to learn about life, and which things are my business and which aren't, and which things I can meddle in and which things I can't.
The Universe should give us a better "manual and directions" book when we are born!
-
I'm up, I'm up - I had a ton of e-mails to go through - but not one order. Hmmmm. Maybe I should only do Skinner/Ripley CDs.
-
It is very cold today.
It is mild and pleasant here today.

I believe that during my entire two and a half year tenure at Totally Hidden Video that all the editing was done non-linear. In the early days, that meant that when one had to do a re-cut (and there were many) you went down a generation each new cut and there was new time code in addition to the old time code - the editors would have to do list management and it was so cumbersome and awful. Sometimes there were so many cuts that the time code windows all but obscured the bit.
-
One of the reasons Experiment In Terror is still scary is Henry Mancini's creepy music.
-
I went to bed at 10 last night.
I thought I slept well.
Yet, today I'm tired, a bit sore (as if I'd been doing pushups or something) and yawning all over the place.
And just so's ya don't forget: Thursday is the first day of February 2007.
YIKES! Where the frell is the year going?

Looks chilly out, but it did yesterday at this time, and yesterday ended up being nice.

They have Hybrid SUV’s now. The SUV’s are also more comfortable & quieter than they used to be. Having one is a necessity for us & they are always Keith’s car. I only drive it when I have no other choice. Other people love them, Keith is indifferent. They are nice for traveling, I can view the scenery so much better. :)
-
Chess - As those who've read Kritzer Time know, I did play chess as a teen - so I must have understood the game. I don't remember any of it now - not one single thing - same with backgammon, which I played when I was in my twenties. Have no clew now.
-
And while I have tap danced on a couple of occasions, I've never really been able to master it. Perhaps if I actually took a class...

In the "totally not the same thing" department:
My boss has the same problem with documents she creates in MS Word. Her "tracking" functions are always active and she cannot see the new-growth forest for all the trees that have been hewn down.
She always e-mails her documents to me to "fix"...and once I get them, I have to select the documents, turn off the tracking features and then turn of "Markup", which is a secondary tracking function.
Once I can see what's left of the document, I can make some sense of it and send it back to her.
She is always amazed that I can make all the extraneous bits & pieces go away.
I don't plan on letting her learn how I do that, either.

As to SUVs, I loathe and abhor them. Yes, I understand why families like them, but roads were not designed for them, they take up too much room in just about every parking space in parking lots (also not designed for them) and what's more the majority of their owners (not YOU, Jane) are spoiled, selfish people who think being in such a thing gives them the right to own the road and drive however they please. I also find that the majority of cell phone abusers are in SUVs. They block traffic, they take up too much room on residential streets (you literally cannot fit when one of them is driving one way and you're driving the other - someone has to pull WAYYYY over). Otherwise, I suppose they're fine.

MBarnum-Glad the package arrived.
DR Laura-Keep those photos coming.

And while I have tap danced on a couple of occasions, I've never really been able to master it. Perhaps if I actually took a class...
I had to learn a tap number as Albert in "Bye, Bye Birdie" -- the "Put on a Happy Face" number at a train station.
The choreographer was the person I danced with onstage (cannot for the life of me remember what she was "supposed" to be ... the lady didn't want to be whatever the script called for, so she changed her role to a cigarette girl carrying a tray of cigarettes like they used to do in nightclubs in the 1950s. What a cigarette girl was doing at a train station in a podunk town, though, nobody could tell you). I could do the moves, but she didn't allow me to wear taps. Something about my not having time to learn to tap AND do the moves, too. So she wore the taps and I foot-synched.

I write in Word, but I'm not sure what you're talking about, Ron. I just have a blank page. I know there are things you can turn on to have marks all over the page (like paragraph markers, etc.) but I don't even know how to turn those on. The only thing Word does automatically is put lines under words or grammar or sentence structure that goes against whatever program it has to detect such things.

LOL-Many of the roads we drive were not designed for my car. I should take our SUV more often than I do. The driver’s door on my last car wouldn't came slightly unhinged and I'm sure it was from all the jostling I put it through.

If you have a document you wish to edit, but you wish to track what it is you've edited (i.e. see what you've changed), you can go to TOOLS/OPTIONS/TRACK CHANGES and set your document up to have edited portions marked with lines through the deleted matter, or with new material in blue or red or green (depends on the version of MS Word you have).
Also, in Word, there is a VIEW/MARKUP function (I believe I have Word 97) That function blows me away as it doesn't so much mark what you've changed as simply adds new words you type. It often looks like extra words have been typed...yet when you try to delete them, they won't go away.
I don't use either function, but I often find myself disengaging them on documents where they have been used.

Mister Cory is a terrific film that I think you will enjoy, MR BK.
One of those U-I CinemaScope Tony Curtis/Blake Edwards flicks.
A Mancini score and some good supporting performances, especially Martha Hyer (with her gorilla-like arms), Charles Bickford, Kathryn Grant, and William Reynolds (among others).
-
It's my favorite Tony Curtis movie of the period....next to JOHNNY DARK.
Hyer was never more beautifully costume, coiffed, and photographed. I would guess she is breath-taking on the BIG screen...and Curtis is no slouch himself as the busboy turned gambler. All of the white dinner jackets fit like gloves.

And the word of the day is: KATZENJAMMER!
I have no idea what to make of the word KATZENJAMMER. Just the thought of it is giving me a headache.
-
OMG! DR Edi, did you happen to work on the "The Little Vampire" episode? A friend of mine from college, Steve Langa, was in that one! You probably have seen his--*ahem*--work.
It was called "GRIP TIL IT HURTS", and it was about a female grip on a film crew. No famous actors to blackmail...darn!
-
Will Farrell is John Galt.
Or Pauly Shore, in a stunning dramatic resurrection!

I didn't post yesterday, but our esteemed BK was very much on my mind, as I was reading the first half of his novel, Rewind. I'm finding it very interesting, even if it is so obviously a total fabrication.
-
I believe that during my entire two and a half year tenure at Totally Hidden Video that all the editing was done non-linear. In the early days, that meant that when one had to do a re-cut (and there were many) you went down a generation each new cut and there was new time code in addition to the old time code - the editors would have to do list management and it was so cumbersome and awful. Sometimes there were so many cuts that the time code windows all but obscured the bit.
Hence the joke:
Q: How many (non-linear) editors does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Just one, but you have to change ALL the lightbulbs!

They have Hybrid SUV’s now. The SUV’s are also more comfortable & quieter than they used to be. Having one is a necessity for us & they are always Keith’s car. I only drive it when I have no other choice. Other people love them, Keith is indifferent.
Greg would rather drive a smaller car but he has to fit so much sound gear and a cart in, so he has an Isuzu Trooper, his second. It's 13 years old so he hopes it will hang in there until the hybrids have been out for a few years and he can get a used Highlander hybrid.
My car is the most fuel efficient non-hybrid car---the Toyota Corolla, my third one. We still have my 17 year old Corolla, which runs like a dream, with over 215K on the original clutch. It's our backup car, and always so reliable!
Speaking of---I went to the car tag office and registered my cars in Fulton County. I have been a resident of Cobb Co. for 37 years, so I really felt like I cut the apron strings and made a big step towards moving out of (racist, homophobic) Cobb!

DR ADRIANNA PATTI lost her "life" yesterday.
-
Oh, and singing, but I'll let DR Elmore tell you that story :P
:'(
Ah yes, singing is the biggest thing that I cannot do that annoys the heck out of me. I just can't get my voice to sound the way it should! A travesty because I would be so cute in musicals, but I am forever to be walk on actor #4.
Luckily so many of my favorite musicals have non-singing or chorus (lip syncing) parts! ;D

I saw MISTER CORY on a double drive-in bill with OPERATION PETTICOAT and this must have been a few years AFTER their initial runs....it was the CenterBrook Drive In, after all.
Thought I would like OPERATION PETTICOAT best....but that was NOT the case.
-
hehe American Cinematheque has a myspace!

I have never seen MR COREY...but have seen photos of Mr. William Reynolds from that film...and he looks divoon!

Has anyone seen Daniel Craig in "Love is the Devil?"
-
DR ADRIANNA PATTI lost her "life" yesterday.
DR Adrianna Patti, the secret to winning the Game of Life is to always get Revenge as often as you can. And when you do, use the "10 spaces back" option--that always upsets little kids more than simply taking $10,000 away (I find that most kids under eight have little concept of $10,000--it means nothing to them.) Send that kid back 10 space a couple of times and you'll cripple his confidence for the rest of the game. You will zoom your way to Millionaire Acres in victory!
When playing the Game of Life, you have to be ruthless!

DR DtM is channeling Alexis Colby, no doubt.

Another thing I was never able to figure out - how to paint. I love art, but unless it's just putting paint on a canvas with no point then I have no aptitude for it at all.

Wasn't "Monet, Monet" the song that was sung by Austin Miller, the "Hot Danny" on the GREASE show Sunday night?
-
The highly acclaimed FBR Open Golf Tournament is going on in town this week. We all know what that means -- RAIN!!!!
-
I wonder if Miller's friends call him "Hot Dan"
-
If soemone borrows a Monet for money, would they be a Monet Leaser?
-
A painting by Van Dough, though, might be another matter.
-
Well, the day is not warming up - it is now even grayer than before (well, sort of a brownish-gray).
-
Hence it has gotten colder in the home environment. I shall now have to turn on the heat.

Re every episode of Maury being incredible:
Remember when Letterman suggested a parody show of THAT'S INCREDIBLE, called THAT'S KIND OF INTERESTING:
"Tonight's guest - a man who didn't like asparagus as a kid but now likes it."
Audience shouts: "That's kind of interesting!"
-
Now it looks like the sun is trying to muscle in.

I wrote a page-and-a-half - began chapter three and was able to at least use a tiny portion of what I'd written before.

I think that's the first time I've ever heard anyone say that or express sympathy with the difficulties faced by immigrants. Many do have a great deal to learn--and not just English. The challenges must seem quite overwhelming at times.

BK, on your MySpace page for "The Brain" why haven't you replaced the piano demos with the recording tracks? Also, I went to amazon.com to order a CD of "The Brain" and it isn't there! Are they aware of the new CD? I thought I'd order one to encourage them to carry a few. :)

Oh dear I worked for 10 years in Research & Statistics for the Indiana Dept of Labor and liked it very much.
I've done a lot of financial analysis and am fine with that now. Like so many things, it's a sort of mindset and once you get accustomed to it you're fine. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to UNlearn, then RElearn before the course ended.

We've had some excitement here in the library today and, for once, it didn't involve bodily fluids or calling 911. No, the PBS series History Detectives had a crew here filming a segment. It'll air sometime in the summer and has something to do with a film projector that was used in the briefings for JFK on the Cuban Missile Crisis. And they were filming over in the area where I just put up the I [heart] BOOKS display, so maybe it'll be on TV!

IMHO the whole immigrant debate reeks of so much xenophobia....and of course it is a debate that has been going on for ....well, forever, I guess...only the names have been changed.
I imagine there were more then just a few native American's who thought the pilgrims should have dropped English and adjusted their European ways to better fit in with the new (old) world.

elmore - I don't put up the amazon listing until a week before its release - they get too confused otherwise - same with CD Baby and iTunes.
As to myspace - I'm not sure I want to put up the tracks yet unless Cason (who maintains that page) can figure out how to not put up full versions - I don't really want people to be able to download full versions of any of the songs for free. I'll ask him if he can do partial and then fade, like on the Kritzerland site.
-
Just heard from the guy who's mastering The Creature soundtrack. I'd sent him what I hoped was a reel-to-reel of the songs, so he'd have the best quality for those (the ones I'd sent him were sub-par compared to the score tracks). He just called to let me know that the long-lost alternate Creature vocal (more of a character voice) is on the tape, so we'll include that with the CD. Even better, there are instrumental-only versions of the three songs, so we're going to include those as Karoke sing-a-long tracks.

It is a compilation CD which I keep meaning to pick up. It is part of the Ultra Lounge CDs that came out a few years back. I understand it is very good.

Well, guess what I just found out - package was "delivered" on the 23rd. Only I don't have it. This is the second time this has happened in the last two weeks and I am hopping mad about it. The post office says one thing, my mail place says something else and it's ridiculous and unacceptable.

I wonder who, among our DRs, ever got this item:

I watched two movies this afternoon.
I began with Paul Newman in THE LEFT HANDED GUN. I know the film wasn't well received, buit oh, boy, does it have its wonderful moments. I can imagine Newman becoming a major heartthrob after this film. He's not all that attractive playing a pug in SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME (great performance, but his manner and look isn't as a glamor boy as it shouldn't have been), but in this, he's a walking, talking wet dream, a very charismatic performance.
What an erratic transfer! My heart was wounded as the film first started and there were all these water marks and a blurred picture. As the film continued, many scenes were sharp and clear and spot free, but then we'd get a long shot that looked like a second or third generation dub and then we'd be back to sharp again. There were some pretty noticeable black scratches later in the film, too. This was the best print Warners could find?
-
My Fox/Doris Day movies came today, so I watched CAPRICE. Looked fine (not quite as bright as I was expecting), and as usual, I enjoyed it.
-
Thank you Dear Reader Laura for continuing to provide us with visual delights.
Thank you DtM, FJL, Jrand et al for the humour to start my morning. (Not my mourning).
-
I was very pleased to see the nice extras featured on the disc. I watched the documentary on Doris and her relationship with husband/manager Marty Melcher. Nice to see A.E. Hotchner adding some personal perspective since he co-authored her autobiography.
-
I also watched the featurette on costume designer Ray Aghayan and enjoyed hearing his comments on the clothes for the movie. Explained a little about the wardrobe and its oddity in her career.
-
There's another featurette on the making of the film itself which I saved for when I go back down later today. There's also a running commentary which I will listen to parts of.
Amazing that they went to all this trouble for a film that has never been highly regarded. Good for Fox!

You can get that in London and Rome and Lisbon and Madrid and Munich and Berlin and Athens and Istanbul, etc.
Lots of tourists and lots of immigrants, too. And tons of cultural diversity.
The xenophobia kicks in when elements of longstanding local culture get PC'd out the window because other ethnicities don't participate in observing them. As fewer and fewer people adhere to older traditions, newer traditions, some based on immigrant traditions, take hold.
Yes, the ghosts of Native Americans are probably smiling as this culture continues to blend and merge and the traditions of the conquering "white man" begin to disappear as the melting pot begins to consume all that was in favor of new cultural phenomena.
We are in a cosmic production of "Fiddler on the Roof", and "Traditions" continues to be performed with great sorrow...and perhaps, a little hope.
-
And:
-
See what happens when you encourage me?
-
those values aren't their values, or their religion tells them to be offended and not to bear it.
Which is exactly the reason why things got to the point of needing or having things being P.C in our county....which really is only simple politeness.
But I will agree that P.C. does at times go to extremes and to a point of silliness and hypocrisy.
I have buddies who are all for political correctness as it pertains to gays and lesbians, but they get there knickers in a twist when it comes to other ethnicities, religions, or beliefs that aren't theirs.
If people would follow the golden rule then P.C. would not have ever been needed. Unfortunately, itis needed to an extent and has made life all the better for many of us. Not in the "lets ban Charlie Chan movies" or "we must remove all smoking from vintage cartoons" way, but in the "Yes, let him or her swear on the Koran if that is what they believe in" way, or the "Perhaps we can have a holiday party (rather then only a Christmas party) so that we can celebrate all the holidays that occur at this same time and not make is seem as if Christmas were the only holy holiday at that time of year.
I am not for any of those who practice P.C. by limiting free speech (such as the Charlie Chan ban which was most ridiculous), but I am also not in favor of those who promote free speech that purposely hurts others.
Of course your mileage may vary and it is only my opinion.
-
Good -- encouragement pays off!

Perhaps instead of Politcal Correctness is ought to be Political Compassion. I never thought the "Correctness" made any sense.

He just called to let me know that the long-lost alternate Creature vocal (more of a character voice) is on the tape, so we'll include that with the CD. Even better, there are instrumental-only versions of the three songs, so we're going to include those as Karoke sing-a-long tracks.
That's pretty cool!

I didn't get to eat my plate today because the kids all ate their lunches without any fuss. It was was mac and cheese, bananas ("eyeballs"), buttered bread, and some kind of corn and legume medley. Plus we were using styrofoam plates and I really didn't want to eat one of those.
-
Cilla - Got the mail from you. Thanks. (It actually reached our building's mailroom yesterday, but it was closed by the time we saw the slip, so we got it today.)

We are working on restoring a theatre on our town Square. This talk of political correctness brought to mind a question we have been debating.
The theatre has a "colored" entrance that led to the balcony. (Stairs too narrow to roll down...) Some would like to keep that as part of the historical context of the theatre, others would rather whitewash the past and pretend it never happened. I would be interested in what some of our DR's think.

Hi DR Edi.... Some years back, I played down at the Rylander Theatre in (I think) Americus, GA. It has had a nice restoration, and has an organ re-installed back into it. It too has the not-too-uncommon feature of a "coloreds only" outside entrance and box office, which led up to an upper balcony. It is all still intact, and that way it is history that can be learned from.........and hopefully not repeated!!

Things like that should be left intact. It's a part of the history of the building, the town and the country at that time. Revisionist history is rarely a good thing.

Quote from: S. Woody White on Today at 09:52:34am
I have no idea what to make of the word KATZENJAMMER. Just the thought of it is giving me a headache.
The Katzenjammer Kids. one of the oldest comic strips ever!
And then there's The Kipper Kids: BIM BAM BOOM!
The word katzenjammer existed before the kids came along. It means "a hangover." Thus my own joke.

I would have a photographic record of the separate entrance on display somewhere in the theater, but include an invitation for everyone to use the stairs.

If the plan is to restore, then I would suggest keeping it and perhaps a plaque or such explaining to the new generation what it was all about. It would be quite an interesting history lesson for some, I imagine.

I am not for any of those who practice P.C. by limiting free speech (such as the Charlie Chan ban which was most ridiculous), but I am also not in favor of those who promote free speech that purposely hurts others.
Of course your mileage may vary and it is only my opinion.
I truly don't know how to respond to this. Are you addressing this to me? If so, what on earth have I posted in this forum that makes you believe I'm at odds with you on this issue? I think we are both on the same side of the fence.

I think an accurate restoration is the way to go. Revisionism should be avoided at all costs. We'll never know how much we've progressed -- or how much further we have to go -- until we can see where we've been.

Der Brucer and I had some fun today, once he decided it was time to get the chores done.
We were going to get haircuts, but that's going to have to wait, as our barbershop is closed on both Monday and Tuesday. Monday, we had expected, but not Tuesday as well.
Then there was the matter of the car's registration. This involved driving over to Georgetown to the Department of Transportation, discovering that der B had somehow lost a piece of paper that he needed, driving back home, still unable to find the paper, calling the Dept. and finding out that he didn't need the paper he thought he had to have, driving back to Georgetown, and getting the registration renewed.
Final two chores were back here in Rehoboth Beach. First, I needed new shoes (the ones I've been wearing to work had literally worn holes in the soles), and then some groceries for tonight's dinner. While at the store, Stacy, one of the floor managers, came over and asked if I'd gotten her phone message, asking me to come in earlier tomorrow. Well, no, I hadn't been near the phone, and sure I'll come in earlier.
And that has been my day.
The shoes look good, by the way.
-
In the small town where I visit each Christmas, there was a theater once. It was open when I lived there in the early 50s, and remained open through the 1960s.
I remember there being separate entrances...and the candy/popcorn concession had two sides, both glassed, with counters. You passed the concession on the way into the theater through each entrance.
I remember asking why I couldn't sit up there in the balcony. It sure seemed like there'd be a better view of the screen from there.
-
I may or may not be through writing for the day - I'm going very slowly because I keep adding stuff to the first two chapters. Still, I'm making good progress.
-
At long last ten.

No, it was not addressed to you in particular. I was expressing my point of view on P.C. to the HHW group (and lurkers and guests) as a whole.

In about two hours I shall toddle over to the Disney studios to do the ASCAP/Disney workshop.
-
Will we never get to page eleven?
-
How can it be January 30th?
-
And tomorrow is the 31th....that's "thirty-oneth" to anyone wondering if I typed the wrong ordinal ending.
:D
-
Will we never get to page eleven?
In time....in time...
-
In 30 minutes, it will be time to go home!
-
Joy! Joy! said Mrs. Malloy.

DR Edisaurus - Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Leave the entrance.

La Dolce Vita is not a movie..It is a voyage. I love it when I have that feeling like I've been somewhere, in another place, after I watch a movie. I think I will have to watch it about a million more times before I fully understand and appreciate it.
-
La Dolce Vita is amazing on just about every level. I find the ending of the film, with that beautiful blonde girl trying to communicate with someone for whom communication is dead, to be ineffably moving.
-
Not only is communication, but so is his soul - or so it seems to me - especially with the dead, bloated, and deformed fish that has washed ashore.
-
I hope they didn't run roughshod over the library and give the film community a bad name! Keep us posted so we can keep our eyes peeled for the display!
Well, DR Edi, I haven't been around many film crews, but they'd have to be pretty darn rowdy to compete with the dramas that play out on a regular basis in our building. These guys seemed very professional.
-
MBrnum-I too enjoy the ethnic & race diversity of the larger cities & have greatly missed it in some of the towns we have lived in. It must be exposure since most immigrants to those towns learned to speak English & worked hard to balance their two cultures.
On the other hand I have met too many people who don’t make an effort to learn our language & then have actually criticized me for not speaking theirs. One reason why so many Californians have little patience for the situation there.
-
Someone gave us fresh duck eggs today, from her pet ducks. Off to try one.
-
I'll add myself to the chess group. My brother tried to teach me when we were teenagers, and I ended up having him hit me over the head with the board because I just could NOT remember which directions the pieces moved. I could learn lines in plays and lyrics in songs easily, but I couldn't learn what to do with a bishop or rook. Argh!
And if you had been an altar boy, you would have already known what to do with a Bishop.
-
Many people on the board but no postings for thirty minutes. It's enough to make a Jew eat herring.
-
Well, I suppose I shall now be on my way to do the ASCAP/Disney workshop, after which, I shall return.
-
Give good advice, BK!
BTW, when did participants in the ASCAP Workshop start doing press releases about being accepted into the Workshop? Just read one on one of the theater sites.
-
Oh, I guess ASCAP itself did the press release. I got confused by the title of the article. They never did that back in the old days, right?
http://www.playbill.com/news/article/105220.html
-
And yet most of the article seems to be about only one of the four musicals. I'm confused.
-
Maybe one of the musicals did a press release with lots of info about itself, but felt obligated to mention the other three musicals?
-
I'm on a roll. Can I get to post #5000 before the end of January?
-
Setting a milestone in a recordbreaking month would be sort of fun.
-
I finally managed to get an aisle seat for the March 1 CURTAINS performance.
-
It's towards the back of the orchestra, but it's just where I sat for the last show in that theater, so I know the view is pretty good from there.
-
Meaning the back of the orchestra section of the audience, not the orchestra itself.
-
As opposed to where Cilla is sitting for Spring awakening, which is with the actual orchestra and cats.
-
And one for Musicals
-
Many people on the board but no postings for thirty minutes. It's enough to make a Jew eat herring.
LOL-Not this Jew!!!
-
I meant Cilla is sitting with the Spring Awakening orchestra and cast, not orchestra and cats, of course. But it's better to add a corrective post, rather than modify an existing one, I think.
-
Maybe I'll hit my milestone of 5000 sooner than I thought.
-
FJL - Glad you got the mail and the ticket. You have me thinking maybe there were cats in the cast. That would be ok with me ;)
-
Wasn't there a movie called NOT WITH MY JEW, YOU DON'T!
-
Cilla - I hear there are some real cool cats in the cast and the orchestra!
-
Cilla - I hear there are some real cool cats in the cast and the orchestra!
That'll do..

I drive a lot and am quite good at parallel parking. So if there is a road trip....I'd be glad to drive....oh and I have a hybrid that isn't an SUV....that should work for all but Jane who may not be able to see as much out the windows
-
Only 20 posts from 5000, but I don't want to fill it with filler.
-
Fill er up with ethyl....
-
That wouldn't do.
-
Man it's been a long time since someone said that at a gas station
-
Not that Ethyl wouldn't do, I mean doing filler posts wouldn't to.
-
It was SOOOO beautiful on the drive home tonight. It's a 2 hour drive and I left driving west and south right at sunset. So to the west the sky was a lovely pink with jet trails....to the east was a nearly full moon a dark sky and stars. It was totally cool and made it a really relaxing drive
-
It was also way below zero windchill, but the car was toasty warm inside...the heat works well
-
I'm posting with gas right now.
-
Need some Beano?
-
Cillaliz-The sky sounds beautiful. By any chance did you have your camera?
I must go, 'night.
-
Maybe I'll save 5000 for tomorrow, though.
-
G'night, jane.
-
Cillaliz-The sky sounds beautiful. By any chance did you have your camera?

No. I went up for business so I didn't take one. I don't think I could have captured it. You'd have to see the entire sky (which is huge there because the land is very flat)
Night

Are we to page 12 yet?
-
No, as you can see math is only occasionally my strong point. That was divisible by 3 not 30
-
FROM PILLOW TO POST - the internet adaptation of Pillow Talk where Doris and Rock share an internet connection
-
That made no sense, but at least it wasn't a filler post.
-
But that last one WAS a filler post :)

I'm only 11 away.

Maybe I'm being shellfish only caring about my milestone.

As someone who LOVES historical buildings--most old buildings, in fact--I would want the "colored" sign kept. Not only is it original, but it's a poignant reminder of a part of American history that we should not forget.
-
I don't have 7 things to say, though, not tonight anyway.
-
B.D. Wong is on TV right now. Maybe he'll manage to work in a plug for Herringbone on the Law and Order:SVU episode.
-
Oh, it's a repeat.

Do you become a Senior God when you hit 5000? Do i get to join AARP?

and breaking out the cheerry coke, I hope.
-
Cheery Coke - that's might be a possible product line, no?
-
DR Edi - about the "Colored Entrance" is it a sign or painted on the wall? I am totally into history too and think it would be interesting to leave it, but if it's a sign it could be removed and perhaps put in a display case with other items from the old days to allow people to see the historical perspective.
Or, you could leave it where it is and put up some sort of plaque or description next to it, explaining the historical significance for those too young to remember
-
Mine is a diet Cheery coke, but it still makes me smile
-
Why to I always forget to forward through the commercials when I'm watching something I recorded on my DVR?
-
Alas, it's too late for the caffeine in Cherry Coke. But I have what's left in the can I was drinking earlier. I am looking at it wistfully.
-
DR Edi - here's a link to the history of the restoration of our Orpheum Theater. It was a $12 million project that was completed in 2001 http://www.orpheumlive.com/history/index.php

Skip brought back a luscious fruit tart from his Fine Cooking 2 cooking class today. Also three different kinds of chicken, and a great blue cheese salad.
-
That sounds very tasty
-
I'm an excellent parallel parker!
2 minutes to Wapner!
-
I like driving. And i am quite good at parallel parking. But i had to do something today that i cannot remember the last time i had to do. I had to parallel park on the left side of a one way street (with parking on both the left and right side of the road).
As i was doing it i realized that i always parallel park on the right side of the road. And it was actually sort of tricky to do it on the left side. Plus there was not too much room to squeez into the spot. But i did it (2 tries).
I still remember the parking test on my driving test. It almost made me fail. Because on the first try i hit the curb. And we were not allowed to hit the curb. But i asked if could try again and got it on the 2nd shot. And he passed me.
-

Thanks so much, Cillaliz!
I am collecting notes about successful and unsuccessful restoration efforts, mainly regarding the programming of such theatres.
-
Thanks for all the feedback about the entrance. I think they shouldn't whitewash our history, so to speak, but give it some context. I will do some research and see if there is a tasteful way to handle it. The "colored only" sign has been gone for a long time, but the entrance remains.
-
Maybe I'll save 5000 for tomorrow, though.
Umm...looks like you didn't. ;)

My Golden Post-iversary
Congratulations on 5,000+ Posts! ;)

Just had a little fruit tart to celebrate.

Hi DR Edi.... Some years back, I played down at the Rylander Theatre in (I think) Americus, GA. It has had a nice restoration, and has an organ re-installed back into it.
We have been very fortunate to have a 1927 15-rank Robert Morgan Theatre Pipe Organ donated to the Strand by the Atlanta Chapter of the American Theatre Organ Society. I don't know if there was ever an organ installed in this theatre (it was built in 1935) but we're certainly lucky to get this one.
The Rylander is one of the theatres that is always mentioned as a success story. We plan to make a field trip down there to check it out. If we do get our theatre going maybe we can bring you in as a guest performer!
-
Thanks for all the celebratory comments. i feel like I've arrived...at 5000 posts, anyway.
-
Edi, are you planning to see SISTER ACT while it's at the Alliance in Atlanta?
-
Thanks so much, Cillaliz!
I am collecting notes about successful and unsuccessful restoration efforts, mainly regarding the programming of such theatres.
If you want more information, contact Kim Steffens in the Orpheum Office. She's a friend and I'm sure would be very helpful. Her email is SCOrpheum@aol.com

Wonderful! Thanks so much!
-
Turner Classic Movies is working a deal with the theatre, but we're going to have to do more than just show old movies, as much as I love them. The Orpheum programming looks very good!
-
Gosh---this looks fantastic!
It's gorgeous. I think I have an extra copy of the movie Puttin on the Glitz that George Lindblade made of the restoration from start to finish. Let me see if I can find it and I'll send it to you.
-
This is a link to a performance of the Randy Newman song that the NY Times published the lyrics to last week. I don't know the story behind this video, though...

That would be lovely---I'd love to see it. It is in my nature to do a doc on this, but I also have mixed feeling about it, since the owner, who will still own the theatre and will not give up his demolition permit, is the city councilman we brought up on ethics charges last year.

Congrats to DR FJL on 5000 posts!

Thanks for the continued congrats!!!

I was perusing Broadwayworld.com and there's an article that has several pictures of Daniel Radcliffe in the new production of EQUUS. Click HERE (http://broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=15430)...if anyone's interested. ::)
-
I finished with the featurettes on CAPRICE. The one on the first itself seemed to give it more credit than it deserved, and I haven't heard one of these experts admit that the movie was a dismal flop at the box-office.
-
Then, I started rewatching the film with the commentary turned on. I'm sure I won't go all the way back through the film, but it's kind of fun listening to these two men (one who's a Day expert; the other is a James Bond expert) finding all these wonderful things about the film.
-
IDOL auditions tonight:
I didn't hear anyone who thrilled me. No one was really all that terrible either. Despite the 20 people that got sent to the next round, this pretty much was a "filler" episode.
-
HOUSE had an unusual episode tonight, too. Instead of the usual "mystery malady of the week," it was more House and a rape victim talking about feelings, life experiences, values, beliefs. I wouldn't want every episode to be like this, but it was a nice change from the routine.
-
DIRT had lots of salacious stuff on display (well, it IS called "DIRT" after all).
Included were an action star outed, a basketball player who had his knees broken, a sitcom star diving into heroin addiction, and the magazine publisher made to give up his source by two threatening hoods who offered to chop off, fry up, and feed him his private parts.
A fun show.
-
Again, depending what comes in the mail tomorrow, I have MOVE OVER DARLING and another host of Doris featurettes on that Fox DVD, LIZA WITH A 'Z," and tonight's BOSTON LEGAL to watch.
-
Off to bed now.
Good night!
-
It's time for me to go home and pay some of my bills. :P I get paid tomorrow and most of what I have to pay can be done on-line. That's convenient. :)
Just had to share. ;)
-
Good Evening!
We got the truck packed in Richmond... We drove up to Fairfax... We loaded the truck with the rest of the stuff I had at my parents' house... We drove up to NYC... We unloaded the truck... I unpacked some boxes... I shifted some boxes... We set up my bed... And soon we will sleep...
And it's snowing right now in NYC...
What a perfect "Welcome Home". :)
-
In other news, I'm very tired, and need to get to bed. And since I managed to get two tickets for the tomorrow morning's taping of "The Martha Stewart Show"... -There better be some good audience giveaways tomorrow! - we have to be up early... Again... So..
I hope everyone did indeed have a very good day. And if not a good day, at least a better one.
Goodnight.
-
I hit 5000 posts today. It doesn't get better than that.

-
Back from an interesting ASCAP/Disney workshop. I was quite lucid, but more about that later.
-
I then dined at Marie Callendar's and I'm happy to report they have a new menu and they've brought back their delish mac and cheese, which is what I had.
-
Will we never get to page fourteen?
-
Where in tarnation IS everyone?
-
I'm only one in the jernt.
-
Perhaps I'll just post another 163 posts, just to pick up the slack.
-
At long last fourteen.
-
Will we never get to page fifteen?
-
FJL - ASCAP didn't put out that press release, the authors did. Which show was it?
-
Ah, a customer!
-
I see people.
-
I think I'll be a bad boy and have another chocolate donut.
-
I'll mention it in the notes, but the best thing about tonight was finally meeting Eva Marie Saint, who said very sweet things to me about my comments on the panel. She's still gorgeous!
-
Also in attendance, Ellen Greene, Adryan Russ, my booklet designer, Doug Haverty, Emmy-winning director Paris Barclay, and many others.
-
Including Fred Willard.
-
This COULD be a whole page of ME.
-
So, dear reader Laura reads, doesn't post, then leaves. Bitch-slap!
George sits there like so much fish and doesn't post. Bitch-slap!
-
Well, we'll just have to have a whole page of ME.
-
Also in attendance, Ellen Greene, Adryan Russ, my booklet designer, Doug Haverty, Emmy-winning director Paris Barclay, and many others.
I love Ellen Greene! I have her solo CD (http://www.amazon.com/His-Eyes-Ellen-Greene/dp/B000E4S9ZA/sr=1-7/qid=1170228163/ref=sr_1_7/102-7422810-3076119?ie=UTF8&s=music) (no longer available) and it's quite good...except that, from what I remember, all of the songs (as good as they are) are pretty darned depressing. There wasn't a happy song on the whole CD.
-
Finally.
-
I'm listening to "I Love Patti" from Forbidden Broadway vol 8.
Well it's a post!!
-
Sorry. I'm watching "Dirt" with Courtney Cox Arquette. It's fun and there's a bit o' nudity...that's always a good thing. ;)
-
and now The Beatles "Love" CD.
-
Im listening to Little Shop ( the movie soundtrack)
-
I have become so used to staying up late and sleeping in. Soon I have to adjust back to school time. Bed at 10 (well, 11) and school at a lovely *(a cpapitolized 8?) in the morning, meaning up at 6:30. nooooooooooooooo
-
I didn't see the first couple of episodes of "Dirt" so there's some previous information that I don't have about the stories, but there's enough to keep me interested in watching it a few more times, at least.
