Well, you've read the notes, the notes were like the dodo bird - gentle, and not too smart, and now it is time for you to post until the dodo cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: SUPEREROGATORY!
-
When I first glanced at the word of the day, I thought it was "SUPPOSITORY!" :o Then, I glanced at it again and thought it was "SUPERSUPPOSITORY!" Then I actually read the word and realized that I had never heard of or read this word before in my life. ::)
-
What it means is:
adjective:
* going beyond the requirements of duty.
* greater than that required or needed; superfluous.
* Performed or observed beyond the required or expected degree.
* Superfluous; unnecessary: "It was supererogatory for her to gloat" (Mary McCarthy).

Bah humbug to Valentines Day.
It finally "arrived" here in Oz about 20 years ago and is just crass commercialism.
It was "cute" when I used to read about it in Peanuts comics. The hand made anonymous "Valentine" has a sweetness about it.
Today is Kim Novac's birthday. She was a funny valentine. (but always a delight)
-
Tuesday (Yay, it's a snow day!) morning greetings. SW Ohio is a mess today, with snow, sleet, freezing rain.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up... I'm up... I'm... Well, I'm out of bed at least...
-
...And I just put myself on the stand-by list via the online reservations center for the earlier flight back to NYC.
-
...And since I just put myself on the stand-by list, I must now get ready to head to the airport. -And get some breakfast before heading out. So...
Laters...

Travel vibes, DR Jose! Hope the weather doesn't make your day too stressful.

I think that after 325 years people still talking about the dodo bird is amazing.

BK:
As for sweetening the audience reaction for The Brain are there different one that one can purchase the applause and laughter from from I Love Lucy, The Mary Tyler Moore Show or Laverne and Shirley?

Good morning, all! I believe tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and I believe our poor BK is overworked to have looked at the wrong calendar day! BK, you need a vacation. Today is, however, the18th birthday of my beloved goddaughter Charlotte Raines, and I shall call her later to send my love and birthday wishes.
Yes, the snow has begun, and this morning everything at Randy's is relatively quiet. My dad is restless and Randy, with my fumbling aid, got my dad out of bed before he decided he wanted to return there. I learned this morning that Jo Ann has been sleeping in Dad's room with him since he returned from hospital and that she was up and down all night long with his restlessness. He keeps gesturning and scratching. Regularly, he tried to get out of bed. The pain is getting intense, and the medication renders him unconscous intermittently.
My nephew Matt has been out with the truck cleaning the driveway, and I've had the urge to run out and start a snowbll fight for some needed levity.
Was there a TOD? I clearly missed it. Perhaps I was too caught up in THE HEIRESS, a film I love. The orchestration for the film score was done by Jerome Moross.

I really love this show! But i have absolutely no idea who will die and I REALLY don't want to know. I did not watch the previews for next week. Although i did hear the catch phrase, "someone will fly and someone will die". Cute! I think the end of last night's show showed jessica hired to go after nathan. But i would be surprised if he died. To me the safe ones are: claire, peter, and hiro. Actually they are the only ones i care about.
I actually thought that maybe the person would die this week and it would be matt. But alas you can fall down many stories and still survive!
I am very much looking forward to next week. Should be a good one.

Yes Gale Storm has been widowed twice. Her autobiography "I Ain't Down Yet" is very good. It is available on EBAY all the time.
She talks frankly about her alcoholism and her struggle to overcome it. She talks about her recording career and her abrupt decision to give it up when it took her away from her family in California (she recorded for Dot in Nashville and/or Chicago). She wrote that she and her producer were just becoming too close. Gale wrote that she understood how such an affair could happen, and that her marriage and family were much more important to her than a record, so she gave it up.

Yep, when I was involved in my two long-term relationships, I bought right into the Valentine's Day conspiracy: flowers, cards, candy, other gifts. We actually did more than one our respective birthdays. Only Christmas was bigger.

Words can't express how much I adore THE HEIRESS, every aspect of it.
Not only did Copland win an Oscar for his score, so did Edith Head and Gile Steele for their exquisite costumes, and the art/set direction. And, of course, DeHavilland rightly won for her performance.
Sorry, but I think Ralph RIchardson should have won the Oscar over Dean Jagger in TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH, and I think the film was better than ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, too, in retrospect. I have that film on DVD, and to be fair, I should probably pull it off the shelf and watch it again, but I don't think I'd change my mind.
Basil Rathbone played the father in the Broadway version and won a Tony Award for it. I wouldn't have minded seeing him reprise his role in the film either, though Richardson is perfection.

Well, some celebrate the state --- I celebrate the arrival (in 1994) of the most unique, the smartest, the cutest, and the most wonderful gift from God, my nephew -- Wilson Arthur Hughes VanNess. He is an Aquarian, so of course his birthday parties were always very themed, detailed, and planned.... by him of course, and with the help of his creative mother (another Aquarian). Here is a picture from a couple of years ago, with Wilson being Luke Skywalker, and of course me being a doting uncle, I sweltered away as Darth Vader. Such fun!!

I hardly recognized you, DRMUSICGUY.
DR MATTH - I am assuming you meant ALL THE KING"S MEN and not ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN.... Mercedes McCambridge was fine in THAT film, but Miriam Hopkins was perfection - "Don't let your aunt come near me...."
WOW....yes, Basil Rathbone would have been terrific in the film.
I really had NEVER thought of it, but as MR BK writes, Joan Fontaine would have been wonderful. Certainly she would have brought the mousy Catherine to life....and I love the scenes when she finally takes control of her life....still considering Ms Fontaine doing those....

TOD: My most memorable Valentine's Day celebration was 14 years ago. We hadn't bought our 100 year-old house yet but we had already fallen in love with it and knew we were going to somehow make it our own. Even though we didn't own it, we had a romantic candlelight picnic on the front porch (it had been vacant for quite some time) and talked about our future together. (This was the same year we were going to be married.)
So, although we bought it, the dream didn't come true to live in this house. But we will have another Valentine's celebration next year, in a house that, although we haven't fallen in love with, will be at least a good buddy to us.
This Valentine's we're celebrating with dear friends who were married 20 years ago on Valentine's Day and are renewing their vows. They have the most wonderful antebellum home and gardens and are fabulous cooks, so we're looking forward to a fun evening with friends!

My embarrassing Valentine's Day story was when I was in 3rd (?) grade, I believe.
This girl that I particularly liked told me that for Valentine's Day, she wanted me to come in, dressed up like Cupid. So, being the hopeless romantic I was, I went home that afternoon and told my mom that I wanted to dress up like Cupid for the whole day on Valentine's. Obviously, this caused my mother to question my sanity a little bit, and she eventually talked me to down to dressing normally, but then she would bring the costume when it was time for our "home room" party that afternoon. So, two birds with one stone -- I put it on for the party, much to the amusement (unintentional?) of my classmates, and then got my just desserts by wearing it out into the halls once school had ended.
Yet, I guess Kristen and I just weren't meant to be...I wonder why...
And then sadly, that was not the only time I ever dressed up like Cupid...

It's too quiet here today: Randy's working on a jigsaw puzzle, Jo Ann's been making a hug vat of vegetable beef soup and I hear the washer or dyer going. My dad is restless but quiet. Lucille called to check on Dad but the snow is keeping her in Monroe, OH. Lady M has een stangely silent and curiously unobtrusive so far today.
I'd love to take a break and drive into town, but the snow is too deep. In a few minutes I'll retun to Liz's score. I plan to watch the DVD of Kevin's show with Jo, who occasionally watches DAYS OF OUR LIVES, sometime soon.
DR Dan(theMan), I wouldn't mind hearing more of the frozen nipples story. Were you wearing a brassiere made of snow cones?

Hey, this is one of my favorite Valentine stories, too... Boo-Key was so cute (the same heart shorts and wings as in the photo, but he was much shorter back then, and wearing white tights and a Harpo, curley blonde wig with a little bow and arrow prop). And I wasn't trying to stifle his romantic flair -- we were living in small-town Texas then (need I say more -- home of cowboys, beer, steers, and football) and I was worried about his saftey if he wore that "get-up" to school all day, so yes, I talked him into wearing it to the home-room party that afternoon with the argument that it would be more of a surprise for the little girl if he walked into the Valentine's Party as Cupid. Hey, it worked, the girl was moved (or was that amused) and little Cupid made it out to the car with only some laughs, lots of stares, a few points, and a taunt or two -- but no black eye!
-
oh, and he was also wearing this little white T-shirt that had a red heart with gold lettering that said "Be Mine"on it...

I was listening to, rather than watching, an episode of "Friends" last night. Chandler was going to interview for a job. Phoebe was helping him, and throwing in the word "duties" (sounds like "doodies") to see if he could keep a straight face. He could.
Once he got into the interview, the "doodies" came fast and furiously, but Chandler survived all of them, including "handing out doodies" and "performing doodies" over his subordinates. As the interview ended, he was so relieved, he confessed that he'd worried over the "doodie" aspect.
He didn't get the job.

Hey hey set me free
Stupid Cupid stop picking on me
I can't do my homework and I can't think straight
I meet him every morning bout half past eight
I'm acting like a lovesick fool
You've even got me carrying his books to school
Hey hey set me free
Stupid Cupid stop picking on me
You messed me up for good right from the very start
Hey go play Robin Hood
With somebody else's heart
You got me jumping like a crazy clown
And I don't feature what your putting down
Since I kissed his loving lips of wine
The thing that bothers me is that I like it fine
Hey hey set me free

Frankly, my Dear, neither have I. I did have a housemate once who had uncountable piercings and insisted on washing the car in our driveway (in a somewhat NASCAR neighborhood) stripped to the waist.

I am anxious to see the Hollywood part of the American Idol auditions. But i believe there are only 2 shows and that bugs me. We have to endure weeks and weeks of bad auditions. And then we will probably not even get to really see most of the good people.
I personally would like to see each performance in each elimination round in hollywood. I'm surprised they don't do this.

I'd like to know exactly what it is we're looking at...other than some guy picking away at a huge mound of snow underneath a sign.
Sorry, the Associated Press did not care to share.

Well, it looks like some of the shows DR Jose worked on in D.C. this past year have been honored with several Helen Hayes nominations
http://www.playbill.com/news/article/105714.html
-
Miss Lauren Rubin has come and gone and am now awaiting Mr. Kevin Spirtas, who is quite late. But these WILL go out today, with or without his signature.
-
We must hear details of the interview, DR MBARNUM. She was very mysterious in GOKE.... Well everyone was. But she certainly stood out in the crowd.
-
Maybe I will watch SUMMER MAGIC today after I watch my Doris Day movies. SUMMER MAGIC has Hayley Mills and Eddie Hodges and NO snow!
-
I think Cupid should be Cason's new avatar!
How's this? ;)
-
So, if Jose is on here he must be in New York.
-
Nice talk from a church-lady :)

Well, they told me to stick it in MY ears!

I'm working on a project that must be finished by Friday, hence my lack of posting. It doesn't mean I'm not thinking about all you people out there in the dark.

Good Afternoon!
Greetings from New York City!
The flight back from Memphis was very nice, and I got on the earlier flight with no problem - it was only about half full - probably less. And since my seat assignment was done at the gate, I was treated to my own row - and a bulkhead seat no less! Very roomy. The flight got in about 20 minutes early, and to top the whole travel experience off today, my bag was the first one on the belt at baggage claim.
:)
-
So, if Jose is on here he must be in New York.
Yes, I'm here!
-
DR Jose: Buy a lottery ticket! Today is YOUR day!
-
DR MATTH,
Thank you for your comments last night about Gale Storm. I'm sure HHW has had many, many interesting discussions that I've missed!
When I've mentioned OH, SUSANNA! to others in the past no one remembered the show. Obviously, I wasn't talking to H/K's.
-
...And I just scanned the Helen Hayes nominations over at Playbill.com. Arena Stage did very nicely in the Outstanding Resident Musical categories. Some of the nominations I was very happy to see. Some I was surprised to see. And there's one or two that I was definitely surprised to see. We shall see what happens on April 16 at the ceremony. Hmm... Now I'm wondering if I should go this year. Hmm...
*I do have to wonder about the costume nomination for Three Mo' Divas since most of the costumes were basically black, formal concert dresses. ???

Glad you got back to NY with so little effort and fuss.
-
Well, I need to run some errands right now, and then I plan to come back here and unpack and veg for the rest of the day. And with the wintry weather coming in tonight, and "American Idol", it definitely sounds like a good night to stay in.
Laters...
-
...hope you're well-stocked, Jose....you might get socked-in, and I know you probably don't have snow shoes.
-
DR Jose, I'm happy you're back in one piece! Is there snow in Manhattan?
I need help from any DR who may have the cast albums of BOY FROM OZ and LES MIS and who can burn something for me!
-
I have an excerpts LES MIZ DR ELMORE

When do you need it/them? I have all my CDs in my living room now. I have both recordings of Boy from Oz and several versions of Les Miz.
-
There is no snow here in NYC yet but we are supposed to get snow mixed with rain beginning late in the evening (after 9pm).
-
It's not terrible here weather-wise. It's cold (it's February remember) but we are not suffering. I do hope the weather news is hype and not truth. If it is, oh, well. I've been in worse. Growing up in Minnesota makes you think that way.
-

I am wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I am not suffering, either. ;D

I'm wearing a pair of blue jeans with a black web belt, a polo-type pull-over shirt of blue with white, red and black stripes, a pair of K-Mart black fabric tennis type shoes, white sweat socks and underneath it all, nice clean underwear in case I get struck by a car on my way home this afternoon. In the rear pockets of my blue jeans are (left) a freshly ironed handkerchief and (right) a comb. I have my wallet in my right front pocket and my keys in my left front pocket.
On that complete note, I will take leave and return to my Country Code Project.
-
LOL DR BEN.
I will defer to DR GEORGE, the man with ALL of the requested CD's. ;D
Glad you made it home DR JOSE. And yes this is astrologically a very lucky day for MOST people, and especially for those of the Virgo persuasion. 8)
-
DR MUSIC GUY - the pictures have been lovely. It will be awhile now before we see any such similar splendor here.
-
I've been trying to come up with a Valentine's gift for the DP that wasn't the normal flowers, candy, etc. I ended up ordering a 1lb Fortune Cookie dipped in dark chocolate and covered in english toffee. I created two fortunes, one was kind boring, but this the other was really cute:
"He who travels from the east to meet people from the west will bring love and fortune to the west and bring it back to the east"
-
How's this? ;)
Nice cropping!
-
I hope the snow isn't too bad tonight. Skip and some friends are seeing Coast of Utopia, Part 3, tonight, and if the snow is already bad, he'll have to walk from Lincoln Center back home due to lack of cabs. Or at least walk from the subway, if that's how they decide to go.
-
Signed copies are packaged and ready to ship. I'll go to the post office in an hour or so. Haven't done any writing today - skammen. I will, though, very soon.

Then he should be sure to bundle up, wearing extra layers, a scarf and....rubbers.

Continued supportive vibes for DR Elmore & Family.
Good to know Jose is back where he belongs.
Warm hugs for those in cold climates.
Cool breezes in Arizona!

Song running through my head today is "Dear Love (Will you be my Valentine)". I first heard the song on a Robert Goulet album. Years later I discovered is "A Quiet Thing" which is Flora's real gem.
-

How tempting to mention safe sex on the Subway. But I have too much sense of decorum.
-
I do not even want to hear this story. TMI. :o
Well, that make one for and two against--sorry, DR Elmore.
-
When I've mentioned OH, SUSANNA! to others in the past no one remembered the show. Obviously, I wasn't talking to H/K's.
That's for sure! And for one season, Jeannie Carson's delightful comedy "HEY, JEANNIE" preceded OH, SUSANNA!
-
I'll even up the voting Dan.
-
I received my BRAIN CD in the mail today. Haven't had a chance to crack it open but maybe later today or tomorrow.
-
Ya know, I think if we all work together, we can convince DR Cason to dress up as cupid again this year.
-
Good to know Jose is back where he belongs.
Yes...you're lookin' swell, Jose!
I can tell, Jose!
You're still glowin', you're still crowin', you're still...
...goin' strong!

Oops. Another minor quake. Damned San Andreas fault!

And, if we put our minds to it, we can embarrass the socks off him.

I have the London LES MIZ and the Broadway BOY FROM OZ, but looks like George beat me to it. However, I'm available if needed.

I got a used copy of the second season of LAW & ORDER: CI in the mail today. I paid less than $10 for the five disc set which I think was quite a steal.
Shame on NBC/Universal for packaging these "shot in high def" shows in the old TV 4:3 ratio editions. (Widescreen editions in anamorphic video could have been done.)
-
Anyway, I watched three episodes from the set. David Marshall Grant was the main guest star in the best of the three as an ADA who seemingly was the target of a hit man. The story, of course, was much more convoluted than that.

Page Seven BROTHER BEAR Dance!!!

Good Afternoon, once again!
After I finished running my errands, I decided to get some lunch. Well, since I was down on 125th... And since there was a soul food buffet across the street... And since I had yet to try out said establishment...
Meatloaf... Collard greens... Red beans and rice (Jamaican style)... Black-eyed peas... Okra and corn... Candied yams... Macaroni & Cheese(!)... Fried plantains... And a deviled egg.
YUM!!!!
Needless to say, I went ahead and walked back up to 145th after enjoying such a feast... With a piece of their Red Velvet Cake in a To-Go Bag. :)
-
The other two episodes were also pretty good: one about a suburban hit man using a body farm to plant false evidence and the other involving a 10 year old with a 249 I.Q. being pushed by his father to excel more quickly.
-
Just the socks?
Well... Technically, isn't Cupid just supposed to be wearing a diaper or sorts - and maybe a "decorative" sash? Or just a strategically placed bow and arrow?
;D
-
CSI: MIAMI had the conclusion of the Clavo Cruz storyline begun last week. What could have been a breatheless race against time, however, was wasted on another related story concerning blood diamonds. And the ending gave new meaning to the word "anticlimactic."
The episode also went into the investigation of the shooting of CSI Erik Delko.
-
I finished the afternoon with last night's HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, a plot which kept reversing itself as blame was traced back to Ted's missing a scheduled flight to Chicago. Pretty funny and a nice way to get in a bunch of brief stories involving all of the cast.
-
Spent the morning watching the last several episodes of Six Feet Under. Now I have to bundle up and figure out what I want to do about the snow/ice covering our driveway. Not that I want to drive anywhere, but the mailman may want to deliver something...
DR Ginny - Did you watch the final episode? -I don't think I've ever cried so much after an episode of television.
-
DR Ginny - Did you watch the final episode? -I don't think I've ever cried so much after an episode of television.
So did I, and some of the images from that final show I can still remember vividly.
-
I still have last night's STUDIO 60 to watch, but I should be able to get to that before IDOL begins tonight.
-
And as other DRs have stated, no snow yet here in NYC. However, it does smell like snow outside - well, more like wintry mix to me. It definitely feels like winter outside, but it doesn't feel like snow. Ah, well...
-
DR elmore - I, too, have the recordings you inquired about.
-
Amazing and satisfying TV for the few SFU watches amongst us.
-
As for the Helen Hayes nominations again...
I do have to say that I was relieved(?) that one particular person did not get nominated. If the person in question had received a nomination, I truly would have gotten depressed... angry... even. ;)
-
But, still, there are a few questionable nominations - at least in my highly subjective opinion.
-

And you haven't named the name...why?? ::)

Well... How about some audition stories? Sounds good to me! OK!
My favorite monologue:
My second piece is from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, the role of the servant.
"My Lord."
;D
-
And you haven't named the name...why?? ::)
;)
Well... I'm just trying to let it all go... Again.
-
OH!
And the lottery tickets have been bought. I played today's date - 213, as well as the number of DR Laura's post, 145.
-
Most overdone songs...
Well, it was like the Kristen Chenoweth-Sutton Foster/Jeanine Tesori Love Fest!
"Forget About the Boy"
"Gimme, Gimme"
"The Girl In 14G"
And only two "Vanilla Ice Cream"s!
As for the men... Well, no real greatest hit... Oh, well, maybe "Lost In The Wilderness".
-
One of the times when I rolled my eyes...
A young man was in the middle of a monologue... And he was doing pretty well. He really seemed to have a pretty good understanding of the language and cadence. Well... Then I heard...
"And the crowds shall cry, 'Vive la Roi!"
Unfortunately, he pronounced it:
"VEEV LA ROY!"
-Who's Roy?
;)
-
DR Ginny - Did you watch the final episode? -I don't think I've ever cried so much after an episode of television.
Yes, DR Jose, I did - twice. Once "plain" and just now with Alan Ball's commentary. Very emotional, both times.
I've also had a lovely phone conversation with DR Elmore.
-
Another time when I rolled my eyes...
A young woman was doing the brief monologue from the Cafe scene in She Loves Me where Amalia is berating Georg. Well... Amalia addresses Georg as "Mr. Nowack" - which is supposed to be pronounced as "Mr. NoVack". Well...
"Mr. NoWack..... Mr. NoWack.... Mr. NoWack..."
-I could even hear eyes rolling in the audience. ::)
-
So, of course, I just have to ask.... Again...
Who the heck is teaching these people?!?!?!??!
-
...hope you're well-stocked, Jose....you might get socked-in, and I know you probably don't have snow shoes.
Actually, I do have snow shoes... Well, at least one pair of Merrell Winter Mocs (which I love!), and a pair of Timberland boots. And couple of pairs of very warm, woolen socks.
-
Anyone else watch/watching "Oprah" today?
Talk about TMI!
However, it's good "I". Well, at least for women. ;)
-
The sun is shining here!
Amazing.
It's so....bright.
-

I was home yesterday and I meant to watch "The View"!
Don't know what I did instead.

While I was waiting (briefly) for my bag at La Guardia, I did here an announcement or two of flight cancellations due to the coming weather. No flights to Indianapolis after Noon. -I just hope everyone else who attended UPTAs this past weekend was able to make it back home this morning too. Especially those who were driving back.
-
I am reminded of poor Connie Francis:
Stupid Cupid you're a real mean guy
I'd like to clip your wings so you can't fly
I'm in love and it's a crying shame
And I know that you're the one to blame
Hey hey set me free
Stupid Cupid stop picking on me
.....
I've always been fond of poor Patsy Cline's rendition too.

They're showing coverage of La Guardia right now on the news... Lots of stranded passengers already.

Well, the cupid underwear did leave me speechless!

..."Speechless" and "der Brucer" I are not too words I would associate as ever being found in the same sentence together....
-
Continuing...
Favorite Audition #1:
The last audition of the conference. And not just because it was the last audition. One of the women who was coming from out of town was delayed due to a flight cancellation. Well, she happened to make it in just in time to get lined up with the final group of the day/conference. Throughout the day, we had been getting updates on her pending arrival, and we all hoped that she would make it in. She's sort of well-known in the regional circuit, and she's well-loved. And crazy. But in a good way. Well, she made it! Whew!
...And then after a very funny song parody, and semi-monologue-stand-up-routine about her travel woes earlier in the day, she finished her audition. And we applauded...
And then as she walked back to the piano, she tripped on the stage and fell...
"I'm OK. I'm OK.... So... What time does the dance call begin?"
More laughter. More applause.
:)
-
(Stupid Cupid)
(Stupid Cupid)
Sounds like the greeting that would be found in a Valentine's card sent out by Zubrick:
"Stupid, stupid, stupid Cupid"
-
Speaking of Zubrick, I arrived home last night to find my "The Brain from Planet X" CD had been delivered... I love, love it, love it!
...that guy playing Zubrick is awesome!!
-
Thank you, all, for the offers! I grabbed the first offer that I saw, which was DR Matthew's. I do appreciate how quickly everyone jumped to my aid.
I foolishly forgot to pack up the LES MIZ and I called DR Ginny a while ago to see if she could get them from her library, but, with the weather, I don't know how soon I'll be seeing her. I have to admit this was a nice way to get myself out of my Kubler-Ross persona of deathwatch reporter.
-
Back from a plethora of errands. No real mail today. Everything is shipped, so that's good. Now to write, and then print out the pages.
-
..."Speechless" and "der Brucer" I are not too words I would associate as ever being found in the same sentence together....
No...totally a contradiction in terms. Like Army Intelligence.
-
DR Jose, I'm happy you're back in one piece! Is there snow in Manhattan?
I need help from any DR who may have the cast albums of BOY FROM OZ and LES MIS and who can burn something for me!

But I'm still feeling lucky!!

And I don't know how soon I'll be getting to work, either. The driveway that I just paid money to have plowed is now like a skating rink due to the freezing rain that's been falling all afternoon.

After I discovered a really cool graduate school level Immigration Law Certification program (3 courses) offered online through CUNY, (I can't start until the summer semester) I looked at my "career" horoscope and it said this:
February 13, 2007
Important news will come to you via the computer. If you are looking for a new job, look on-line. The opportunity you've been waiting for is posted on a web site. You just need to take the time to find it. New technology will lead you to your goals.
-
Just did a little more writing and am now printing out pages for Margaret, which I'll probably drop by her house later. I've eaten the last of dear reader Laura's fudge.
-
Now I shall transcribe my messily written Brain editing notes.
-
Will we never get to page nine?
-
The rain finally got here in the last half hour. I was beginning to wonder if maybe the forecasts were wrong for today since we had only had a slight drizzle at lunch, but looks like it's going to rain most of the evening now.
-
I've already cleaned the living room (this morning since I got up earlier than I expected), so I'll read a bit before settling back in with the evening's TV line-up.
-
it is sunny and bright here, but it's supposed to be VERY cold tonight. We didn't get any more snow today. Sounds like we lucked out with just 5 inches
-
Well, time to head home. I'm trying to decide what I'm hungry for and all I can think of is that red velvet cake....
-
Hard cold drizzle mixed with snow for the last hour. Lots of wind.
-
Sometime during the day of Thursday, FedEx will deliver my plasma HDTV.
If it's early enough in the day, I will be watching something in high definition Thursday evening. Will it be "Ugly Betty"? Will it be "Survivor"? Will it be "Smallville"?
Who knows? Is The Shadow around?
-
Well, time to head home. I'm trying to decide what I'm hungry for and all I can think of is that red velvet cake....
Is that DR Jose's "red velvet cake"?
;D
-
Wanna know something funny?
I've read a lot about red velvet cake on these here pages over the years. Not too much...just enough to convince me that it's a huge favorite of the cognoscenti.
And I've even had my mother report back to me on some event she attended in the South where she had red velvet cake and it was scrumptious.
Truth of the matter, though: I've never seen or tasted red velvet cake. Ever. Not that I can recall (and I can recall a lot).
-
I feel the need to bake another rum cake. And possibly a wine cake, too.
Just because.

Good afternoon to the assemblage, the "chosen," the hoi-polloi, the creme de la creme, and the H/Ks here and afar.....
First of all -- yes, really good Red Velvet Cake is very yummy indeed!! If it is dry, or bland, or flavorless, then you ain't got good R.V.C..
-
DR elmore...... You are in my morning and evening prayers and affirmations...... And here is another GIANT HUG for you, from sunny Phoenix.
-
In any case...
Red Velvet Cake is all about the Cream Cheese Frosting. And the red food coloring. Basically, it's a chocolate/cocoa layer cake with a lot(!) of red food coloring. I've seen recipes that call for as much as four(!) bottles of red food coloring.
Some people put nuts in their cream cheese frosting. Some people put pineapple. Some people put both. Others just leave it plain - cream cheese, butter and sugar and vanilla.
And for a final touch, some people even press some cake crumbs into the frosting to give the cake a red dusting... almost looking like red velvet, I guess.
-
I'm sure there's a line connecting Red Velvet Cake and Tipping the Velvet mentioned on the site a few days ago. I shall leave the line for others.

Dear Esteemed, written, supped, consulted, and Cupid-like BK --
I am THRILLED that the Brain CDs are going to Pony Express, and will soon be available to be enjoyed and treasured.
I'm a lucky boy, in that my house is being rented for 2 days of shooting for some anti-smoking PSAs tomorrow and Thursday. So I don't know if I'll have much laptop access. But I'm here in spirit !!!!
-
DR Cason -- your Cupid pictures are superb, charming, elfin-like, coyly fetching,...... (shall I quit now, before Miss Karen comes gunning for me ?) :)

-
DR Ron Pulliam - Ever see "Steel Magnolias" - the movie version? Red Velvet Cake makes an appearance in there.

You mean Tomovoz's FAVORITE movie?
It's the groom's cake, isnt' it! The armadillo with gray icing...and when it's cut into it looks like it's bledding?
-
Good grief! There was something in Steel Magnolias that was worthwhile. Who'd have thought?
(that was for Ron)
On top of some spiffing performances by the female cast, there's that absolutely glorious, heartbreaking music score by Georges Delerue.

Well, it looks like some of the shows DR Jose worked on in D.C. this past year have been honored with several Helen Hayes nominations

Andy Brownstein, Assassins, Signature Theatre
Jim Corti, She Loves Me, Arena Stage

After having a mediocre Lean Cuisine for dinner, the Red Velvet Cake looks painfully delish.

I have a box of red velvet cake batter in my cabinet, ready to be made...

I saw Peter Pan at the El Capitan today.

ooops I have to go!

I saw Peter Pan at the El Capitan today.
The stage musical, animated version or the recent live action film version?

OK... Time to get ready for "American Idol"...
Laters...
*Although, I do believe the short night's sleep I had last night is starting to catch up with me. I wouldn't be surprised if I fell asleep on the couch in front of the TV...

Ah... Now I'm thinking of Ravel's "Bolero"... And Bo Derek's b... braids.

I was thinking maybe Alan Seuss in his green tights!

The El Capitan is showing the restored Disney cartoon.

Will be supping with Miss Jessica Rush this evening. She's made a snap decision to move to NY and is leaving on Friday. I don't know how anyone does anything quite that quickly, especially a major move.
-
Will we never get to page eleven?
-
Another strange day today, with a lot of extraneous junk.
-
I wonder if I'll have time to watch a motion picture on DVD, and if so, which motion picture on DVD it will be?
-
Will we never get to eleven?

DR Cillaliz - your immigration law aspirations have reminded me to ask if you've read Mary Pipher's The Middle of Everywhere and to tell you that one of the most interesting women I've met in my statewide AAUW involvement is an immigration attorney in northern Ohio.

No I haven't read the book. I'll have to get it. Immigration law touches a ton of different issues and parts of peoples' lives. From the guest artists at the symphony who need visas to the people who come here to work to the people seeking asylum. It's a fascinating area to study. I've been reading a lot already and am more interested all the time.
-
DR Ginny, I didn't tell you that my new office looks out at.....the public library!
-
The Middle of Everywhere looks very interesting. It's set in Lincoln, Nebraska. That's only about 60 miles from here. I will definitely have to read this..thank's for the suggestion
-
Just got in a little while ago. I was surprised that there are still lots of cabs on the streets in midtown, despite the weather.
-
As for "American Idol"... Well...
I guess y'all will find out for yourselves. But...
POTENTIAL SPOILER
I found the show kind of boring.

It's one of my favorite books and was the AAUW/Ohio all-convention read in 2005.
Cool news about the view from your new office!
-

Oh... I haven't looked outside in a while... Guess I'll turn the lights on in the backyard...
Oohhh... Pretty.

How much snow do you have?
-
I'm still hungry. Miss Jessica Rush is supposed to call at seven to tell me she's on her way, which probably means I won't eat until seven-thirty. Then there's the question of where to eat.
-
We're getting close to page 11
-
It was sunny, then it was gray, then it was sunny, then it drizzled, now it's evening.
-
I ate terribly today. I ended up eating a peanut butter sandwich and a hot fudge sundae for dinner....
-
We've certainly been on page ten for way too long.
-
At long last eleven.
-
Will we never get to page twelve?

I'm still hungry.

I have a Foundation Center counterpart at that library - maybe I should arrange a field trip after you get settled in your new digs.
-
Cillaliz-I still haven’t seen the dog show or the Bernese Mountain Dog. Sherlock now weighs 82 pounds. I’m so glad he doesn’t pull too often when I’m on the other end of the leash.
Jeanne-Keith and I both watched THE GALE STORM SHOW & MY LITTLE MARGIE.

Sounds like a plan! It looks like I'll still go to Cincinnati in April, but I have to see how a few things shake out first.
-
How much snow do you have?
Just a good dusting, enough to cover the ground. I'd say about 1/4-inch - at least in our backyard.
-
DakotaCelt-OUCH-FEEL BETTER VIBES!
MusicGuy-Wilson is very lucky to have you as an uncle. :)

Well, just make sure you're not watching "House" later then. Eeeeewwwwwwwwwww!

Cason-Nice the Cupid experience didn’t dampen your romantic soul.
Cillaliz-Interesting horoscope.
-
Any Shar-peis in the finals?
-
I have never tried Red Velvet Cake.
Jose-All flights should go as smoothly as yours did.
Cillaliz-Thanks for the photo and link, that is a nice looking Bernese Mountain Dog.
-
Yes in the play they talk a LOT about the red velvet cake shaped like a possum with gray icing. And in the movie, they hack into with glee - and a knife. It was a tradition of the family of the groom.
I liked about 1/2 of the actresses in STEEL MAGNOLIAS. I thought Dukakis' accent was terrible and her line readings were atrocious. BUT I had stage managed a 12 week run of the play with some really good ladies, so their line readings were drummed into my brain.
I also saw the BEST M'Lynn ever in Chicago - Miss Anne Francis.
-

Glad to see lots of people remember these shows.
-
Most schools in the state are closed tomorrow. Many counties declaring winter emergencies with only Emergency Travel permitted. Still raining ice and snow.
Even a LOT of the malls and movie theatres are closed!
-
So hungry. Haven't heard from Miss Rush. She was going to have a coffee with her ex-boyfriend. That was supposed to be over at seven. This is why I do not like ex-boyfriends, especially ones that are obsessed about their former girlfriends. I guess I may not eat until eight - I shall be very ornery by then.
-
Loved OH SUSANNA! when Robby the Robot showed up on the Ocean Queen; the episode where Susanna did a rock and roll wedding dream number; and the episode when Gale sang "Faraway Places" while thinking about marrying a Prince and giving up her career (she didn't).
-
I love Hayley Mills. That is all.
-
He came in 4th in the non-sporting group
-
I watched the extras on my two Doris Day DVD's - written about here on HHW. Okay....not the most informative, but I liked the Polly Bergen interview on MOVE OVER DARLING.
Years ago, FX Network put together a rough cut of SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE and so we've seen all of the Marilyn clips before. And I don't necessarily agree with the Marilyn biographer's comparison of Day and Monroe. Said biographer also refers to Elizabeth Taylor several times as a "Fox star" - which La Liz was NOT.
-
I can't watch a dog show without thinking of the movie Best in Show. I think that's part of why I love to watch these
-
Oh!!!
Thanks, DR CILLA LIZ.
I love my Blue Moon....but those shar-peis are so sweet....
-
Time for bed.....

Next up ....BEST IN SHOW!

BK, you shoulda saved one piece of fudge. It woulda come in handy about now.

My DH and I just returned from a walk to Dairy Queen. He had a dipped ice cream cone.

We have been so busy researching missing classmates for our reunion, and raising a puppy we don’t even have Valentine’s Day cards for each other. Considering all the times Keith was traveling, though I did get roses on those occasions, we are just happy to be together on the 14th of each February, or any other day.
-
Valentine's day used to be very hard for me when I wasn't in a relationshp, I got over that a long time ago.
I did have some good Valentine's Days, but for the life of me, I don't remember any details

SPOILER ALERT FOR WHO MADE IT IN THE BEST IN SHOW COMPETITION
Akita,
Dandy Dinmont,
Toy Poodle,
Standard Poodle,.
English Springer Spaniel
PBGV
Bouviers
The sequestered Best in Show Judge has entered the building....he said "This is beyond my wildest dreams" the suspense is killing me...
-
Keith has been enjoying reading many of the bio’s of classmates he has found. Just tonight he believes he found our classmate Richard Elfman, if only he hadn’t been camera shy back then we could compare the then and now photos.
Possibly Bruce, or any DR can tell me how to contact the director Richard Elfman, brother of Danny & father-in-law of Jenna, to let him know, if he is the same Richard Elfman, his 40th class reunion will be on April 14th.

Still no call. I'm beginning to think eight is a dream. I can't last much longer than that, however. If I haven't heard by seven-forty-five, I'll call her cell and see what's up. It's this guy - he has been a jerk since the day she broke up with him.
-
Will we never get to page thirteen?
-
I'm soooo hungry.
-
In fact, I'm getting a headache. I was trying to watch a DVD but couldn't concentrate.
-
Sounds like you need to eat a little something
-
I just heard from Jessica - she's five minutes away. Dinner, here we come!

Sometime during the day of Thursday, FedEx will deliver my plasma HDTV.
If it's early enough in the day, I will be watching something in high definition Thursday evening. Will it be "Ugly Betty"? Will it be "Survivor"? Will it be "Smallville"?
It won't be SURVIVOR. It isn't broadcast in high def. The other two you mentioned are and both look glorious in HD.
-
I just bought the nicest outfit for valentines day!
-
I have seen STEEL MAGNOLIAS on stage many times, and I prefer the screen version. I LIKE the addition of the men and their interaction with their ladies. And I think the movie is smashing. It never fails to make me laugh out loud and weep in grief and later exhilaration.
As a born and bred Southerner, I know there are as many Southern accents and dialects as there are British ones, and Dukakis sounded fine to me.
-
It rained in patches here with full sunlight shining through the clouds...one of the eeriest things I have ever seen.
-
I began my evening of viewing by popping THE KING AND I back into the player. This new transfer is really gorgeous though I think Fox cheated a little by shaving off the sides of the frame. The framing doesn't look quite right in "Getting to Know You." I don't think my TV's overscan is a problem.
-
I liked IDOL, but I'm always frustrated by the Hollywood rounds because they're just TOO abbreviated. We have decent singers, and we want to hear them sing. And we only hear a small, small sample of those who go through.
The producers are very canny, however, in continuing certain stories from the audition rounds: the kid whose parents didn't support him, the Navy guy, the Indian brother and sister, the best friends, etc. Some of them make it and some of them don't, but the do get you wrapped up in following their stories.
Of course, for the ones that make it, they've had these two or three very special sequences to be featured while others that make it are barely seen at all. I've always felt those people start with a disadvantage once the public starts voting.
-
HOUSE had a compelling story of a teenager who had no pain threshold. GREY'S ANATOMY featured a similar story last season. Still, despite some familiarity with this anomoly, the episode was good.
Funny, the guy that Dr. Cuddy had the blind date with was the same guy playing the writer/director on STUDIO 60 that Harriet Hayes is interested in.
-
And I did watch STUDIO 60 when I went back down (before I put in THE KING AND I). It was a very banal episode that kept flashing back to Matt's first year with the show and his first meeting with Harriet. All the jumping back and forth in time was irritating since the story being told wasn't really especially interesting.
Steven Weber (my favorite STUDIO 60 character) didn't appear at all this week, and the whole episode just seemed feeble.
And the ratings were down again last night as well. The writing's on the wall for this show.
-
I finished the evening with DIRT, a diverting episode that tied up a couple of storylines (the gay action hero and the incestuous preacher-daughter story) and let others start or continue.
This is definitely a guilty pleasure.
-
Well... I've been up since 6:00 (Central Time), and it has been a long day for me... And since I have an audition tomorrow... :)
Goodnight.

AI TALK AHEAD....
I really would have loved to see more of that one men's sequence with the beat-boxer. But I'm glad they showed what they did.
However... I did see the ad for the new Idol videos and ringtones for your cellphone... of the BAD auditions?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
:-\

That group really had it together, and, like you, I would like to have heard the whole thing that brought the audience and judges to their feet. It wouldn't surprise me not to see all four of those guys in the semifinals.

Now, I'm heading off to bed.
Good night!

On the playground today, the Bucket Chase Gang (Brandon, Brody, Stephen, and Dominick) put down their buckets to dig in the sand. They told me they were going to dig up a buried treasure. They worked on that for a long time while Kayla and Trevor and I had some other digging projects underway. I would check up on them every once in a while and ask if they'd found that treaure yet. They always said no. Then all of a sudden, they said they were digging up a dinosaur. The teacher said they had very active imaginations and kept on doing whatever she was doing. They got so excited about this dinosaur they were digging up that I had to go see what was going on.
Lo and behold, about six inches down in the sand I could see the top part of a plastic triceratops. All ten of them gathered around the hole and we all worked together to finish digging up the dinosaur. They were SO excited about it. I have no idea how it got there.
-
And then at lunch, Shayla, one of the four-year-olds, came in to eat with us. She remembered the last time she ate with us when I ate a plate. She didn't believe me when I said I would eat it and was completely blown away when I did. She was really excited about it today. She said to the teacher, "Guess what? If we eat our green beans, Cassandra will eat her plate!"
The teacher hasn't been a part of this little deal we have going because, somehow, I don't think she'd appreciate it. We only discuss the plate-eating after she's left the room to watch the kindergarteners on the playground. So she didn't know what Shayla was talking about and thought she was making it all up.
Well, she didn't believe them about the dinosaur either.
-
Back from a lovely supper at the California Pizza Kitchen. It was fun catching up with Miss Rush, and I'm sure she'll have fun in NY.
-
I did eat my plate, by the way. Shayla was overjoyed.
-
Will we never get to page fourteen?
-
We shared spinach artichoke dip and I had the sausage and pepper penne pasta. I must say, the portions at CPK get smaller every time I'm there.
-
What to watch. I've tried watching three movies in the latest film noir box set, but I just am not enjoying them. Earlier I began His Kind Of Woman, but it's just not doing it for me. Perhaps I'll find something else to watch.
-
In more important news, the fully uncut roadshow version of Pepe is being shown on TCM - early Monday morning - I'll be TIVOing, of course.
-
I feel much better with food in my tummy.
-
And I'm just popping in to say "goodnight" here in the Living Room, before unplugging all of my laptop stuff and clearing off the desk. I don't know what my access will be for the next few days..... play nice, don't fight, hug dear elmore a lot, watch over the Grande Mensch,......
goodnight Lucy.......
-
Wsa PEPE a success in its day?
(It is after all wednesday here, so technically Ask BK Day in NY time?)
-
I heard on the news today that there are two more possible fathers of Anna Nicole Smith's baby.
-
I told my DH that I'd raise another kid for a billion dollars. So if he wants to get in line as possible father.....
-
I remember My Little Margie and Oh, Susanna as well when they were shown as reruns back in the 70s.
June Kenney guest starred on an episode of Oh, Susanna playing a teen who elopes with her boyfriend...or maybe she was on her honeymoon...or both. I really don't remeber for sure. All I know is that I would LOVE to find that episode.
-
DR Sandra made me laugh uproariously once again!

"pepe" made the top 20 for Duane Eddy. Does that count as a success.
It was also recorded by Caterina Valente. (just to make sure there is a link to yesterday and tomorrow. Add in today and there is a link to the lovely Sophia Loren).

Leonard Maltin lists "Pepe" as a BOMB. It certainly was box office poison in OZ.

Im glad you are feeling better!

I liked about 1/2 of the actresses in STEEL MAGNOLIAS. I thought Dukakis' accent was terrible and her line readings were atrocious.
Actually, Jack, I thought it terribly authentic to nearly a fault. She sounded EXACTLY like Ms. Jackie Smith Wansley, currently of Port Royal SC, late of Johnston SC, who is a longtime family friend with one of the most gloriously over-the-top Southern accents you can imagine.
What on earth do Hoosiers know from deep South accents anyway?
;D
-
...I don't know if I'll have much laptop access. But I'm here in spirit !!!!

Pepe was indeed a box-office disaster, but I liked it when I was a young tad of a lad of a sprig of a twig of a youth and I like it now. So there.
