Well, you've read the notes, as Nuff said the notes were short and sweet, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - 'nuff said.

And the word of the day is: SENTENTIOUS!

The three one-act shows that I went to last night (put on by a local theater group called The Audition Is Dead (http://www.TheAuditionIsDead.org)) were...interesting. I don't even know how to describe them, other to say that the actors were all very good. ::)
:)
-
I think it is well known that I do love my coconut creme pie. But I also love my cherry pie with ice cream. And I've also been known to love my pecan pie with whipped cream.
-
I like pies. :)
-
Generally, my top favorites are (in alphabetical order) banana creme, blueberry, cherry, coconut cream, chocolate cream and pecan. Also apple (especially a la mode), peach...ah, heck, almost any kind of pie. But not key lime, lemon meringue or meat pies. :P No shepherd's pie peppered with actual shepherd on top for me. ;)
-
Of course, I am still waiting to have peanut butter pie.
-
I am getting very sleepy.
-
Will we never get to page two?
-
'Nuff said.
-
I am my own frenzy.
-
I was the only one who didn't have pie last night.
-
And with that I bid you a fond farewell until morning.
-
In the morning, my niece and I are going to see a movie in Seattle (I don't know which). She and a friend went to see a movie and the first part of it had technical difficulties, so they gave everyone a free ticket for another movie. Her friend doesn't want to go, so I'll go and drive. It's supposed to be over by 1:30 pm, which it'd better be because I have to be back in town to work concessions at 6:00 pm for The Northwest Harmony Sweepstakes A Cappella Festival (http://www.washingtoncenter.org/calendar/calendar_detail.asp?event_id=842). It's the Northwest division of an annual a cappella contest and they rarely have performers that aren't very good...they have, but it's rare. :) Whoever wins this goes on to the national competition.
-
Of course, I am still waiting to have peanut butter pie.
Ooo...that's good, too! :D
-
Good night, BK. Have a good day!
-
Strawberry-Rhubarb pie for me, hands down. Something about that wonderful sweet/tart combination.
I don't make my own pies, though. My mother sort of scared me off of that, when she told me that her crusts never came out until the salt water of her tears [with the fussing over the gosh-durned thing] rendered the proper consistency. :)
Non-sequitors are fun. 'Nuff said.

Lemon meringue pie - a bit tart with HIGH meringue - and additional whipped cream!!!
Second - Butterscotch creme pie!
-
Now I have to go to work and I'm hungry for PIE.
But not the same pi as DR MS.
-
Okay all this talk about pies is making me hungry! I love pies!
I love cheese pies (cheesecake pies). Cherry is my favorite. I like these better than cheesecakes cause the cream cheese is whipped.
I also love key lime pie!
-
I just checked out my local tv guide and see that they are finally doing one thing right on GREASE tomorrow. They are pairing all the final contestants together in 2s to see if they have any chemistry. Um, why didn't they do this from the start???
The only thing left that they need big time is TO LET US SEE THE ACTING. Or they will be left with people who cannot act.

Read O Rama today....but I will go to work anyway. :(

Saturday morning greetings! We are having the first of what feels like spring rain here in SW Ohio. Today is an information-waitressing day for me.
TOD - Ohio's Dale of Glen (a northern Cincinnati suburb) is home to one of my favorite restaurants, The Grand Finale. When they discontinued my very fav of their desserts, Banana Walnut Torte, their Chocolate Cordial Pie became my new fav. It's about 6 inches high:

I only have this to say about GREASE YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT...or rather...someone is speaking for me.

Good morning, all! I dreamed I was at Goodspeed, and I also dreamed I was in white trailor trash hell. It was all peculiar, since the two dreams seem one long one now, and I remember a kid flying to the ceiling of a gymnasium on a handful of balloons, and cutting apple slices while someone talked about a death. Perhaps this all refers to the fact I was too stupid to get a ticket to MY FAIR LADY, which everyone tells me was wonderful?
I have no plans today. I like that.
PIE? My favorite restaurant, the late lamented Barrymore's, had an asolutely wonderful chicken pot pie.
-
I'm going to head towards the ATL and see if I run into Jose tickling the ivories in some hotel...
-
Speaking on Fritz in a towel: A group of BMI Workshop people were having dinner, and one of the group was Jon Tenney's brother David. The talk somehow turned to Jon Tenney's rear nude scene in a recent TV show, and someone said "David probably doesn't want to hear his brother talked about this way." Someone else said, "Oh, i'm sure David seen his brother's rear end when they were growing up." And the erudite James Harris said, "I'm sure he has, but never beautifully made up and impeccably lit."
-
I loved Jon Tenney in Get Real, a prematurely cancelled television series in 1999 which also featured Anne Hathaway.
-
DR EDISAURUS if you were surprised to see the seagull - WELL, you can just imagine how surprised HE was to find himself in Atlanta!!
I have no doubt that it was Al Gore who sent the sea gull to Atlanta as a warning of things to come!

Last night DR Sandra lamented:
Dominick said the A-word today, and I have it on pretty good authority that he said the S-word yesterday. I told him that if he said either of those words again, he would be in VERY BIG TROUBLE.
Now I suspect your day-care is Protestant Church sposored, but banning references to Atheists and Scientologists is a bit extreme.
For an extreme punishment I suggest Gerber's Strained Peas.

Time-Zone Change, Daylight-Saving Switch Coincide
By TOM COYNE
AP
FRANCESVILLE, Ind. (March 9) - While most U.S. clocks spring forward one hour on Sunday, Pulaski County will do double time when it moves the courthouse clock ahead not one, but two hours for daylight-saving time.

Another gorgeous day here with highs returning to the mid 60s. Can't have enough of these spring days prior to spring. I just love this weather.

I've spent the morning watching THE NAKED CITY, Criterion's beautiful new transfer of this groundbreaking film. Wonderful film, and it was so much fun watching famous character actors get seconds on film in small little cameos early in their careers: Kathleen Freeman, John Randolph, James Gregory.
-
I started on the special features, first a video lecture on the film by an NYU film professor which was entertaining enough (once). The next one is an interview of an architect who's going to talk about the architecture of NYC in the post war period, but since I wanted to get on-line before the morning was over, I saved it until after lunch.
-
Tonight will definitely be given over to the Blu-ray version of THE PRESTIGE. Really looking forward to seeing the film again, this time in high def.

I'm up, I'm up - she of the Evil Eye will be here all too soon.

Don't they know about pills? Electrocution? It seems an awfully messy way to go.

Something is apparently awry with the haineshisway.com "views" master. According to it, we've already had over 8000 views since midnight. Since the most views we've ever had in a single day was this past Oscar bash and that was 7000, somehow I feel that something has erred somewhere.
-
Yep, in our stats this day has already become our highest "views" AND hits day. Say what? And with only fifty-five posts. 'Nuff said.
-
Will we never get to page three?
-
Maybe there was a tour bus of "viewers" that came through.
-
Perhaps someone is taking the refresh that pauses?
-
I do hope all the clocks reset properly.

The views, the views...

So it is spoken, so it shall be done - page three.

I love lemon meringue pie. And pizza pie.
Does anyone still call it "pizza pie"?
The oddest pie I've ever had was apple/raisin/jalapeno. It was pretty good, as I recall.
-
DR Jane, something I ommited in my discription of the Tivo/Amazon service yesterday--you need to have your Tivo connected to the internet through broadband in order to download videos.
-
Will we never get to page three?
We'll make it.
-
I'll be very curious about how computer operating systems handle the new daylight savings time. I mean, I don't mind manually resetting my computer clock if I have to. This time tomorrow, I'll see if I need to.
-
Off now to fix some lunch and get back to the special features on THE NAKED CITY DVD.

Banana Cream Pie!! - - Nuff Said!!
-
Don't everyone fall out of your seats -- yes, it's me the lurker!
-
Well, not really nuff said cause a close second is pumpkin pie with lots and lots of whipped cream...I think the key to a good pie is whipped cream, lots and lots of whipped cream...
speaking of key, another pie I wouldn't pass up is a good Key Lime Pie..
-
Guess it has been a while since I've chatted. Just saw a message from Jennifer that was over two years old. Sorry Jennifer! I have since gone back to Montreal four times to visit the family.

Well, there's House of Pies' (corner of Franklin and Vermont in LA) COCONUT CREAM PIE with whipped cream topping, not meringue...and then there's everything else and nothing comes close.
The strangest pie I ever had, which was very good, was at the Antlers Motel and Restaurant in Odessa, Texas, on Second Street, I believe. It was something called Texas pecan pie. Oddly enough, I remember no pecans in it,unless there was one on top for decoration. The bottom layer was a gooey creamy brown (made this was the pecan, though it tasted more chocolate) and the top layer a yellow vanilly custard. Very scrumptious.
I'm also fond of a good Shepherd's Pie.

...banana cream with lots and lots and lots of whipped cream...

It is very hard to find good Shepherd's Pie.

Welcome back, Angela the Lurker.

I don't know nothin' 'bout settin' clocks manually, so if my VCR clock doesn't reset (as it normally does) I don't know WHAT I shall do. I can do all the others as I always have to do, and I can probably figure out how to do the computer clock.
Whose brilliantly brainy and completely idiotic idea WAS this early change? When did it usually happen and will clocks try to reset on THAT day?

What am I, doing a monologue?

She of the Evil Eye will be knockin' on the door in about a minute.

House of Pies!! Been there!! Wish I was there right now (thanks alot bk -- now I have pie on the brain...) Right around the corner from Cases's place...
.. Yeah, that's some fancy version of pecan pie, but a real Texas pecan pie doesn't have all that stuff -- just lots and lots of pecans and lots of molasses is the key to a good piece of pecan pie...

I love pies, and like DR Singdaw Strawberry-Rhubarb pie is my favorite, followed by any type of berry pie and cherry pie.

Welcome back Dear Lurker Angela!

I shall spend the day transferring assorted VHS tapes to DVD so as to get closer to my goal of making room in my home environment's only closet (other then the tiny bedroom closet).
But first I must shower and shave and then take Dog Bosco for a walk.

Welcome five GUESTS. Who are you people?
-
..yes, fruit pies aren't bad either -- the berry family...a good homemade apple or peach ain't bad either...
Is there a type of pie that isn't good? -- they're all delectable - - just every once in a while you'll find a pie maker who doesn't do the recipe justice -- but it's not the pie's fault...

Good morning, all! I dreamed I was at Goodspeed, and I also dreamed I was in white trailor trash hell. It was all peculiar, since the two dreams seem one long one now, and I remember a kid flying to the ceiling of a gymnasium on a handful of balloons, and cutting apple slices while someone talked about a death.
I wonder what Dr JRand will have to say about that one....gee, DR ELmo, you have some wild ones..

I shall spend the day transferring assorted VHS tapes to DVD so as to get closer to my goal of making room in my home environment's only closet (other then the tiny bedroom closet).
Are those the ones for DR ELmo? ;) ;) or should that be :o

TOD (cont'd) - Last night was the bi-weekly fish fry at the American Legion post where DH Richard's honor guard is based. The auxiliary serves homemade pie slices, which we got "to go" and had after Richard got home from his clean-up duties. He had lemon meringue and I had chocolate cream. I've promised them a pecan pie for the event in 2 weeks.
One of my favorite pies to make is blueberry: Bake a graham cracker crust, cool and fill with rinsed fresh blueberries. In a small saucepan, heat 10-12 oz. red currant jelly until clear and smooth. Drizzle over blueberries and chill. Serve topped with sour (yes, sour) cream.
My father found that recipe in Gourmet magazine about 40 years ago and I've been using it ever since (but only in summer, when fresh blueberries are available here and affordable).
-
Generally, my top favorites are (in alphabetical order) banana creme, blueberry, cherry, coconut cream, chocolate cream and pecan. Also apple (especially a la mode), peach...ah, heck, almost any kind of pie. But not key lime, lemon meringue or meat pies. :P No shepherd's pie peppered with actual shepherd on top for me. ;)
Ahhh, George, check your spelling.

Speaking of dreams, DR ELmo, here's another for Dr JRand ---- or it might be in answer to der Brucer's question from the other day about how you might know you're a HHWer addict:

I don't know nothin' 'bout settin' clocks manually, so if my VCR clock doesn't reset (as it normally does) I don't know WHAT I shall do. I can do all the others as I always have to do, and I can probably figure out how to do the computer clock.
Whose brilliantly brainy and completely idiotic idea WAS this early change? When did it usually happen and will clocks try to reset on THAT day?
Energy conservationista have been arguing for this change for decades.
INFO PLEASE (http://www.infoplease.com/spot/daylight1.html)
In Aug. 2005, Congress passed an energy bill that included extending Daylight Saving Time by about a month.
From 1986 to 2006 this has been the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October, but starting in 2007, it will be observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, adding about a month to daylight saving time.
Computer software issued prior to 2006 will probably not handle time correctly unless it has been patched.
If your computer software is programed to do automatic time updates, but has not been fixed for the new times, you must change your time manually on four occasions:
Second Sunday in March, First Sunday in April, last Sunday in October and First Sunday in Novenber. (Two changes to adjust for the new time changes, two change to undo the old auto-changes).
Most of Canada and Mesixo will be with us.
Arizona, as usual, we bill "special".
No one dare guesses what will happen in Indiana.
Australia also has various systems in play.
Things of concern:
Automatic banking update systems might miss a day!
People relying on PDAs and various Schedulers like Outlook might have screwed up meeting times.
The good news:
Kids have more daylight for Halloween.
Sun Dials will remain unaffected!

And I agree with DR JANE that LA and subways are an oxymoron. Like you, Jane, I'll have to see it to really believe it.
Actually, the LA subways (and light rail) are quite impressive. Unlike some places (NYC, DC), the system designers sunk some planning and dollars into providing attractive terminal facilities. Union Station provides a wonderful terminus where AMTRAK, MetroRail, Light Rail, and Subway all converge.
Woody is the LA mass transit maven. His daily commute included the Blue Line Light Rail, Red Line Subway, and MTA bus.

I'll be very curious about how computer operating systems handle the new daylight savings time. I mean, I don't mind manually resetting my computer clock if I have to. This time tomorrow, I'll see if I need to.

We are building light rail in Phoenix. Near as I can tell, it is not particularly convenient for anyone.
Mass transit planning considerations are often at odds with what some of the public perceives as "convenient".
In most areas, mass transit's prime objective is to reduce vehicular flow during peak hours; therefore, the routing is dictated by worker-flow: home-job-home. Recreational and tourist use is secondary; therefore, mass transit often by passes airports, sports venues, and recreational sites.
LA, New York, and Phoenix have Mass Transit that goes near Airports to connect to a separate system for the final leg; some cities (London, Philadelphia) have Mass Transit that actually enters the airport (Philly has the best I've ever seen). Washington DC has a subway stop for Washington National (but it's a passenger's nightmare to lug baggage from the elevated train to the ticket areas) and Dulles International is still Bus/Cab only.
The "it's for the workers" syndrome results in other strange consequences. In the LA Metro area (including Long Beach) it results in trains stopping about midnight. So, if you want to go to the Music Center and see Les Miz, best leave before the curtain call. And in LB, if you want to go to a show and stop for a drink afterward, you need to drink and drive!
Our older US cities had a very different take on mass transit in that commercial destinations were considered important. All of Philadelphia's major department stores had show windows and entrances right in the subway stations. Even today, Philly 30th Street Station (AMTRACK) and Reading Terminal (Commuter Light Rail) have large very nice shopping areas as part of the terminal complex. Commuters can buy a fresh rack of lamb, fresh rosemary, just picked carrots, and fresh baked French bread (and some fresh cut flowers) to take home for dinner.
Washington tried a large commercial venue underneath Du Pont Circle, adjoining the subway station, but poor management and lack of good policing let it fall into disfavor, and it is now boarded up. A sad loss.

I've not as well-versed as you, Der B, on comparative mass transit systems, but it seems to me that a great deal of money is spent, while missing major opportunities. I'm a fan of mass transit, but think that we're not doing all we can. Which, of course, is one of the points you make.

I went to the new "improved" version of the local foods restaurant at the firehouse. It's now called Fiona's Firehouse Bistro.

I had a wonderful walk this morning - instead of taking the car to do my errands, i walked to the bank, the post office and the library. About seven miles, I think, all told. Glad to have gotten it done early - it's gonna be 90 degrees here in a little while.

I had a very strange dream last night. I was on a program (I think I was on it) like THE APPRENTICE, but instead of Donald Trump; it was hosted by BK. At first, I was thinking how wonderful it would be to learn so much about, theater, writing, producing, and acting. But instead of dealing with any of that, we were stuck doing logic problems and setting up photo displays. I was very displeased.

Good afternoon dear Esteemed, centered, well-timed, and sultry BK --
I'm glad that the location research by DR Adrianna paid off; one of the things that makes your L.A. based books work so well (for me, anyway) is that you are careful about small details and locations. I'm looking forward to this new one, and I already have my breath baited....my loins girded, and my sinews glistened!

And the 2007 Spring SETC Auditions have come to a close. I have a little bit of an "epilogue" tonight playing some callbacks, but it's truly just "some" callbacks - I think the theatre only called back four or five people today. -It was actually a pretty good day talent-wise, they're just looking for specific people for specific roles at this time, so... That means I'll be down at the bar sooner rather than later for the closing night festivities. :)

RE: Fritz on "The Closer" - Ah, I forgot Jon Tenney was on that show.
And tie this in with something DR FJL mentioned - When I was at New York Stage & Film last summer, the project I worked on was "What's Appropriate For A First Date With An Earthing?" by the Tenney brothers themselves, David and Steven.
*And it just so happens that Jon Tenney is married to one of NYS&F's former higher-ups. And, for those who may not remember, he was married to Teri Hatcher of "Lois & Clark" and "Desperate Housewives" fame.

TOD:
Oh dear, well, I guess since we are all pretty chummy around here, I can tell you all about the "Boysenberry Pie" incident. I was in 7th grade, I suppose it was -- and my church youth group had this annual trip to Disneyland. In addition to going to Disneyland, this particular trip, we also made a dinner outing to Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant at Knott's Berry Farm. If you haven't been there, basically it is a homestyle dinner sort of 7 course meal.
Bread, salad, soup, entree, sides, dessert, etc. Tons of food, all in all. You order everything at the beginning, so they just keep bringing things out -- you've forgotten what all you've gotten, so it's a constant surprise.
Well, I gorged my way through all of the food - totally forgetting that dessert was on its way. I was right at that "good amount of full," where you are happily content, but can't stomach (pun!) another round. Then came the pie.
I had ordered the Boysenberry pie -- one of their "specialties" there...and they bring out this big slice of pie with ice cream and set it in front of me. So, I obviously can't rationalize not having at least a bite, so I take one bite of the pie - very good - and decide that's it for the evening. Now, unfortunately I had been seated by one of our chaperones, Todd, who was just like one of the kids. He sees me not finishing my pie, and utters the now-infamous phrase, "C'mon Cason - eat the pie!"
And before you know it, he starts chanting "Eat the pie! Eat the pie! Eat the pie!" And this chanting spreads like wildfire - first, our section of this huge table where all of our group was sitting; then down the whole table; and to some of the tables of the other patrons. The whole room is sitting there chanting, "EAT THE PIE! EAT THE PIE! EAT THE PIE!"
So, naturally, I couldn't defy the crowd, so I gobbled down the rest of the pie to cheers and catcalls from everyone. And that point, I was over-stuffed, but the pride outweighed the bloat.
When we got back to the church we were spending the night at, I was pretty miserable and uncomfortable, but tried to will myself to sleep. I kept tossing and turning and knew I wasn't getting to sleep anytime soon...and then I felt it. I jumped up and ran outside and revisited Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner on the sidewalk...
But the best part was one of the girls on the trip came out to see what all the fuss was about as some of the chaperones helped diffuse the situation and she was highly amused by the hue of the expectorated dinner and affectionately called me "Pinky" for several years thereafter...
-
It's all that TV lighting.
;D

As for the Topic of the Day...
Hmm.... I'd have to say my current favorite is Chocolate Fudge Pecan. *You know you're in trouble when the number of fat grams per serving is listed as "continued on back flap". ;)
Otherwise, I don't think I've ever met a pie I didn't like. Yes, I've had less than ideal ones, but whether it's fruit, meringue, custard, chess, chocolate, etc... It's all good eatin' to me.
When we lived in Seattle, my mom would regularly make Strawberry-Rhubarb Pies - we grew rhubarb in the backyard. Those were some good pies!
-
Cason, I am very impressed with your work on BRAIN.
Thank you, sir!

*And it just so happens that Jon Tenney is married to one of NYS&F's former higher-ups. And, for those who may not remember, he was married to Teri Hatcher of "Lois & Clark" and "Desperate Housewives" fame.
Well, there goes my chance in Hell.

DR Cason - Love the Pie story!

Well, there goes my chance in Hell.
Well... He still is an actor, so...
;)

Hello Cason, you impish pixie ! When is your next "in-person" audition for the San Diego gig ? We all hold good thoughts for you. :)
Hello, hello, MusicGuy! I head down there on the 21st for the callback...so, I've got several more days of patient waiting... ::)

Back to Pies for a bit...
When I was in L.A. for What if? I was staying just a few blocks from The House of Pies. Thankfully, I did a lot of walking while I was in L.A.
*And those Punk Tarts at Fred 62 were also quite tempting at times too.
-

DR Cason - Love the Pie story!
It's one of my favorites in the Cason's Make You Shake Your Head vault.

OH!
And the Sour Cream Apple Walnut Pie from The Little Pie Shop in New York City... I actually lived off one for a day... just because I wanted to... and could... and did.
-
If you serve it with a nice slab of sharp cheddar, I'll be right over!

When I go to Johnny Rockets for a burger, I will usually ended up getting a slice of their Apple Pie (which is OK, but great), topped with a slice of Tillamook Cheddar (which makes up for any deficiencies in the pie).

the final round of the Iowa Piano Competitionis evening.
Who is the resident orchestra for that event?
-
Well... I think I'm gonna head back to the hotel and get ready for the couple of callbacks I have to play tonight, and then I'm gonna get my luggage packed before I head down for the closing night festivities. *The loss of the hour tonight will most undoubtedly be felt come morning.
And speaking of the morning, DR edisaurus and I will be brunching before I head back to NYC since my flight does not head out until 2:15.
I'll see about checking in back here in the morning, but I suspect I probably won't be logging back on until I get back to NYC tomorrow night. So.. I hope everyone has a good evening - even with the "stolen" hour.
Laters...
-
Oh.. DR Francois - Thanks for posting that article about Dawn Upshaw - truly one of my favorite singers. Unfortunately, she just cancelled her upcoming performances due to a cold and fatigue. -She was to appear at Carnegie Hall. -Hopefully, she make a return to the New York stage sooner than later.

Hey DR Dingdaw ~ How does it feel to be a full member? ;)
(I hate to be the one to break the news, but there is no member packet, no HHWer decoder ring, no funny hat with antlers, nadda, zip, zero...not even balloons and colorful streamers.. just a new title and an added star at each level, but you take delight in what you can...and what other site can you attain Godliness, humm?)...

"The Closer" .... Asst. Police Chief Will Pope (28 episodes, 2005-2006)

Which is good, except this is J.K. Simmons' imdb entry, not Jon Tenney's!

I did indeed find DR Jose---ooops, just missed him here at HHW! I stopped off at Whole Foods to pick up some salmon and salad for dinner. Fortunately, I didn't see any pies, so I wasn't tempted!
However, when we're in LA, we may have to stop by the House o' Pies. I haven't been there in years.
-
Page 10, I presume...
-
I had also caculated that I had heard over 200 auditions. Jose is a piano-playing MACHINE! I am utterly in awe of him!
-
Gosh, I ran everybody out of the room!
-
While I was eating lunch, I put in the Blu-ray of CHICAGO and watched "CEll Block Tango" and "All I Care About,"
I heard "All I Care About" twice today in the auditions.
One thing I realized after attending the auditions was how limited is my knowledge of musical theatre.
The other thing I realize is how vast DR Jose's knowledge is.
This was the first time I've attended an audition like this. Wow---so many talented people!
There were also tons of seminars going on. I didn't make it to one I considered going to this morning---a group of artistic directors for Atlanta theatres. 3 of them were friends of mine, so I thought about going but decided I'd rather hear the music.

Ah, JRand's here. Hello!
-
I saw that DR CP was here earlier today.
Did I miss the TARTUFFE report?
-
What's cooking, DR EDISAURUS?
-
I want some pie.
-
One of the things that was cool to see, besides the fact that Jose is a wonderful player, is how much care he put into trying to make each audition the best it could be. He never slacked off. I am amazed that someone could be so focused for so long----4 hours at a time. Wow! At the end of it, he did a big glissando. But he didn't shout "Shipoopi"!
-
DR edisaurus - Thank you for the almond croissant! YUM!!!!
You're most welcome! That's from our French friends' bakery, near my house; one of the few things to miss when we move.
-
What's cooking, DR EDISAURUS?
Certainly not ME!
I have been growing grass on the top of my refridgerator for my plant-loving cat. She has been devouring the freesia that Greg gave me for Valentine's Day.
I served her the grass when I came home today and she seemed very appreciative.
Does that count as cooking?

Goat Love: Three Nigerian dwarf milk goats put their heads together on a farm near Rogue River, Ore.
Thanks, Der B! It's funny you should post that, because we've been talking for several years about getting a couple of goats when we move into town. (No KIDding!)
I have big plans...too elaborate to go into now, because there are too many variables.
But if it happens, you can be sure I'll be looking for a goat with polkadotted boxer shots!

She went to school in a series of quantum huts.

Hi, DR Elmore! There was an exhibitor at the conference who had some little midi-keyboard system that Jose recognized as something you were familiar with. He talked to the representative and they seemed to know you and said nice things bout you. But I can't remember the name of the company. I'm sure Jose could tell you...

This is why our DR Jose is so special! He puts the same energy and enthusiasm into his friendships and every aspect of his life I've seen. And that's why I never say a mean thing about the old ho.

I'd guess it was either Rodgers & Hammerstein, Tams-Witmark, or Music Theatre International. I've done work for all three and I'm fond of all of them.

It might have been Jeff Lazarus with Realtime Music Solutions as well. I learned on Friday that he was also there.

In other news...
As for "Who's Line Is It Anyway?" - One of my favorite shows - and I actually prefer the original English version. -The American one was/is OK, but some of it is a bit too planned out in advanced some times. -And those musical parodies/improv have had me laughing out loud many times.
Last night we watched a little of the American show & switched back to the English one. The English host of the show is funnier, in our opinion, & does a wonderful job of setting up the skits and working the audience.
-
Hi DR Elmore! Everything is going about as good as it can. How about YOU?
I cope, dear. And I go on. I'm sending you lots of love and good wishes.

Danise is back! She's only got about 20,000 posts to catch up on.

Hi DR Jane! Thank you for the phone call. :)
It was fun talking :D
-
I somehow managed to write six count them six pages today - the most I've done on this here book in one day - and I also had to rewrite and smooth out other stuff, so it's really more than six pages. Now, to eat or not to eat. I had matzo brei early this morning and I don't want to have too much more.

Next time you go to Knott’s Berry Farm, begin with dessert.
-
Danise you chose a quiet time to visit.
-
I've heard about Knott's Berry Farm but I'm not sure what it's like. Is it like a theme park? Roller Coasters and such?
-
Hi Danise!
-
I need to try and find a Doggie Day care place in Pittsburgh. Craig's dog can't stay home all day while he is in school, if the poor thing survives the long trip home.
In case you are wondering, Yogi, the crazy dog, is bilingual.
-
Hi Danise!
Hi DearReaderLaura! It's nice to see you again!
-
We've missed you around here!
-
Danise-When we were young Knott’s Berry Farm was a gold mining town, not for real. For me the best fun was mining for gold.
In the seventies, in order to keep out the hippies, there was a small entrance fee. The eating area & gift shops were outside the paid entrance area, they weren’t total idiots.
If people had to pay to get in they wanted something more exciting. Most of the original rides were fairly tame. Eventually the park added more exciting rides.
One of the original rides was the log ride, a fairly tame log ride with a fun drop at the end. I remember I had to sneak on it when I was pregnant with Bryan. I was sick that day, nothing new, so I didn’t mind I wasn’t permitted on many of the rides, except my favorite log ride..
-
I forgot the name of the roller coaster that goes forward, with at least one loop. Then is just stops mid-air and leaves you hanging for a bit and then goes backwards. Something like that. It is one of the few roller coasters I will never ride again. I avoided it for years until the boys were old enough to ride it, and of course had to go with them. Craig asked why I didn’t scream, like I usually do on the big roller coasters. I WAS TOO SCARED! I didn’t like the hanging sensation or the backward drop
-
We've missed you around here!
I miss you all also!
Jane, Knox Berry Farm sound a bit like some of the places we had here in Florida.
-
Are they filled with loads of almond paste?
Not loads...juuuuust right. We couldn't find any in Paris that we liked as much as Luc's in Marietta!
-
I want one!
-
Danise, when I think of Florida I don't think gold mining camps. ;D
Loads of rides and rollar coasters-yes. :)
-
I've heard about Knott's Berry Farm but I'm not sure what it's like. Is it like a theme park? Roller Coasters and such?
We went there when I was about 5 or 6. My parents were talking about it a lot before we went (this was during our move from New Orleans to Seattle.) and I assumed that there was a type of berry called a knottsberry, just like a blueberry or strawberry. It never occurred to me that it was someone's name!
-
Welcome back Danise! We've missed you!
-
Well folks, I hate to cut this short but it's been a long day. I did a lot today. Have a good evening!

Have showered and feel CLEAN. 'Nuff said.
Now I shall go out and think about food - I want something CRAZY and INTERESTING.
I think we can make four hundred - it would be unseemly given the huge number of views.
And I do hope the daylight savings transition is smooth.
-
My Mac guy e-mailed all his clients reminding them to check and make sure they have the DST update. I once again went to the update manager and there's nothing there, so I'd have to think I'll be fine.

I am watching what is a sacred thing in the state of Iowa. More important than almost anything you can think of....the High School Girls Basketball Tournament. I've been half-heartedly following it, but a school that is about 10 blocks from my house, Sioux City North (Stars) is in the championship game for 4-A (the biggest schools). They are ahead...GO STARS!
-
I actually spent 8 hours on a bus about 9-10 years ago with my brother and niece to go see the Estherville Midgettes (bet you didn't know a female Midget is a Midgette - yes that's really the mascot) compete at state. It was a lot of fun. So much emotion, and the girls can really play.
-
Estherville is my home town - we didn't just pick a town at random to follow to state :)

It's almost obscene to have a girls team called the (Des Moines Roosevelt) Rough Riders.

Night Jane. I'm hungry for ice cream...hey, I must be feeling better. I haven't been hungry for anything in days!
I just had some sugar-free Starbuck's ice cream. We never buy ice cream, but it's pretty good. I put Hershey's dark chocolate syrup on it...I'd never tried the dark version. I bought the syrup as a potential method to draw a labyrinth on the flan. It's quite yummy!
-
I channel-surfed to a show called PANTS-OFF DANCE-OFF. This is one of the weirdest concepts for a show I've ever seen.
-
Hmmm...now there's a woman dressed as a man doing a pants-off. People are supposed to call in and vote for a winner.
This is very disturbing.

Dear Bloog and I both said, "I don't like Spam!" at exactly the same time.

That is all.
Good night!

It never occurred to me that it was someone's name!
I have probably told this story before, but it is a slow evening, so what the heck! When I was just 21, my best friend and co-worker at the shoe store where I worked decided that we had spent almost our entire lives working at that Mall (maybe 8 months), so one day we quit our jobs and moved to So. California to find fame and fortune. We found neither (or even found jobs) so three months later we moved back to Oregon.
Anyway, times were tough during those three months that we were there. One day my friend's mom wired us some money, so after paying rent, etc., we decided to live it up for a day. So we drove up to Knott's Berry Farm. After enjoying ourselves all day, we decided to have the famous chicken dinner before we went home. The place was packed, and the hostess told us that is was going to be a very long wait - unless we didn't mind sharing a table with an older couple. We said sure, that was fine. The older couple was very nice and we had a wonderful time sitting with them It was only after the couple had gotten up and left the restaurant; that the hostess told us that we had just shared a table with the Mr. and Mrs. Knott.

What a nice story DR TCB!

And nice to see Danise around these here parts! We miss you when you are away Danise!!

Time for the start my weekend Bollywood movie...THE BOXER (1965) starring Dara Singh, Mumtaz, and Azad.

CONGRATS TO THE NORTH STARS!!! THEY WON!!! 'nuff said
-
Whew! I've had a full night of viewing.
I began by completing all of the special features on THE NAKED CITY DVD. What a grand and glorious film. And at 96 minutes, not a wasted moment. I loved it.
-
Next came the Blu-ray edition of THE PRESTIGE. Isaw the film in the theater, so I knew the surprises already (guessed many of them when I watched the film), but it was terrific fun seeing just how many clues to the solutions the Nolen brothers planted in the screenplay throughout.
The Blu-ray is another reference quality disc in both picture and sound. Couldn't be sharper or more three dimensional, and the sound was superb.
-
I also looked at the special features on the Blu-ray. The "making of" feature was likewise presented in high def, and that was a nice "extra": not only the feature but also the extras in high definition.
Lots of interesting stills, too.
-
Then, I finished the evening watching the conclusion of REAR WINDOW which I had begun last night. Ah, that Alfred Hitchcock! He never lets you down. Well, almost never.
-
Back from Mo's where I had a bacon cheeseburger that was ever so yummilicious.
-
Will we never get to page fourteen?
-
Mmmmm a bacon cheeseburger sounds good too.. I am pleased to say I haven't taken any meds all day and I think I have beaten this cold. It's about time
-
Well I'm here, I'll help you get to page 14
-
I've decided my last day at the office is July 20. Have I mentioned that?
-
Did you have any pie, BK?
-
Will we never get to page fourteen?
I'm sure it will occur.
-
But it's past my bedtime, so I'm heading downstairs now.
Good night!
-
It's way past my bedtime, but page 14 is so close
-
Is there no one who will help me get us there?
-
FJL, I'd like the recipe for the steak marinade...have you found out if Skip can share it?
-
Actually the quiche was fabulous too, I would love that recipe as well
-
I know I didn't have the steak, but you know what I meant and we are here on page 14!
-
Just a few more posts and we'll be at 400
-
Then my work will be done here
-
And I can take the cats and go upstairs to to get some sleep
-
I'm watching Spanish television.
-
I have to pay attention to know what they are saying, but I'm getting most of it
-
Un Power Juicer de Jack La Lanne (They spell it that way)
-
Ok, just a couple more
-
We're almost there
-
400 'nuff said
-
And they do big song and dance numbers in the jungle?
[/i]
Yes, quite elaborate ones! LOL!
In fact this BOXER movie is loads of fun!
They even borrowed Ted Lyons and his Band from GUMNAAM for the nightclub scene where the stewardess inexplicably does a big number on stage.

14 Pages! I have a lot of ketchuping to do. ;)
The movie that my niece and I went to see was called Gray Matters (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375785/) and it's a romantic comedy about a girl (Heather Graham) who lives with her brother (Tom Cavanagh) and they meet the girl of their dreams (Bridget Moynahan). ::) Heather's character realizes that she's gay and is in love with the girl that her brother marries. It does have a happy ending and the brother and his wife stay together. It was actually very cute. Molly Shannon and Alan Cumming are in it and have some of the funniest lines. Their characters never meet, but should have! Jane Krakowski sings a great arrangement of the song "Cheek to Cheek" at the very beginning of the movie with some guy who I'd never heard of. It sounded like James Naughton, but it wasn't him...Tom someone. Anyway, I liked it, but I wouldn't drive all the way to Seattle to see it again. My niece got free tickets to see it, so we saved $19.50. :)

As for the a cappella contest, that was very good. The winning act, Realtime (http://www.realtimequartet.com) were very much the deserving winners. I really enjoyed The Baudboys (http://www.baudboys.com) this year (they've been in it before and weren't as good last year). I just read their website (more closely) and it still has the announcement that they won second place last year. I don't know how they placed this year.
