Well, you've read the notes, the notes were newly mown, and now it is time for you to post until the newly mown cows come home - they're currently dining on the new mown hay.
-
And the word of the day is: INVIDIOUS!
-
Welcome eleven GUESTS. Who are you people? Well, we know who SOME of you people are.
-
Will we never get to page two?
-
I realize the topic of the day is arcane, but just look up the cast on the imdb and the characters they play - or refer to the original Lost Horizon.
-
As MBarnum said, I slouched - something I'm known for doing.
-
And a happy haineshisway birthday to Kathy, whomever she may be.
-
I am my own frenzy.
-
goodnight all
-
A Very Happy Birthday to DR Jennifer!! ;D
-
I've never seen either version of "The Lost Horizon" ::) so I'll be checking out the cast lists...later.
I must go to sleep now. 8) Good night, all.
-
Happy Birthday, DR Jennifer! May your day be filled with much cake!
-
Good morning, all! Yesterday was a completely frustrating day: every plan and intention I had to be accomplished between 10 AM and 6 PM went to hell, and I wasted my day because of others' irresponsibilities.
After eight hours of raging, I was in no mood to be social last evening, so I caught up on the posts and went to bed early. The biggest problem was a Fed Ex shipment from San Francisco, which was to be delivered by 3 PM. The Fed Ex tracking on their site told me all morning that the packages were en route from Memphis. I got to the office around 10:30 AM and waited. Everytime I checked by telephone on the situation, I was told that the packages were en route to their destination. I had to leave at 3 to be to a doctor's appointment at 4, and the packages were guaranteed by 3 supposedly. At 2:45, I spoke to a Fed Ex customer service person who told me there had been a delay and the packages weren't yet on the delivery truck. After telling Fed Ex where to jam the packages, I left. Their tracking site tells me the packages were dumped at the office at 4:39, almost two hours after I left.
Now, the shipment was most likely delayed by air problems, so I wasted my day, but if the person who requested the shipment had asked the Gershwin Trust to ship them by second day as I requested they do, I wouldn't have wasted my day.
So then, I got to my appointment, signed in around 3:45, and waited to see my HMO's eye specialist. At 5:30, I finally saw his assistant and was asked to wait. There were four people waiting ahead of me, one of whom had been waiting snce 3:30, so I left. I rescheduled my appointment for next month and asked for his very first appointment of the day. I cannot believe the stupdity of an HMO booking appintments approximately every 10 minutes for a doctor who's clearly taking over 30 minutes to examine a patient! Fuck it.
Perhaps if I hadn't wasted my day on Fed Ex, or I'd had more reading material than the magazine I read twice while I waited, I woulddn't have minded the wait. I'm too old, too testy, and too tired of catering to idiots.
Today, I have to go to Toyland, ascertain the cartons are indeed there. Then NYPL, and then my goddaughter's dance recital, which means a trip to the Bronx.
I'll think about LOST HORIZON, which never thrilled me as book or either film. Right now I think its salvation would be a cast of classic clowns: Red Skelton or Jimmy Durante as the High Lama, Ethel Merman, Milton Berle, Buddy Hackett, and Phil Silvers, with Barbra Streisan in the Margo role, and George Segal in the Ronald Colman part.

Lovely pictures from DR MICHAEL S!
Lovely pictures from DR JOSE - wow three celebrities! Mr Newman and Ms Kitt look happy to be posing with our own Liberace!

Hmmmm.....well....I don't think you can buy new mown hay, it is either rolled up and stacked or put through the hay baling machine.
-
TOD:
I like the original movie version of LOST HORIZON, and the remake up until the first horrible song....
For a remake today:
Whew, I started a list and can't finish it.....I shall wait for some other suggestions.
Although I might like to see Ben Affleck and Diane Lane as Robert and Catherine/Sondra...but probably I would not like to hear them as same.
-
DR MBARNUM - what a great story!!!
What did Ms Todd have to say about Allison? Did you mention that her screaming in FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER was actually Allison from Attack of the 50 Foot Woman? I talked to her brother many years ago online, and he told me some stories that I think I have already mentioned to you.
Sammy Ogg also co starred with Miss Annette in ADVENTURES IN DAIRYLAND a Mickey Mouse Club serial....which introduced Moochie.
-
Good morning to all.
I will be E&T temporarily, whilst I ketchup.

Off to work. :(

Happy Birthday to Jennifer!

TOD: I don't know from today's actors and actresses, so I suggest that we have a reality show to cast Lost Horizon.

I couldn't sleep, so I painted the bathroom. I mixed the very boring light shade of blue with the kitchen blue to make a custom color.
-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For DR Elmore. Do you need some flowers to plant to help you unwind from all the chinchy bassas?

***BETTER DAY vibes***[/color] for DRs elmore3003 and TCB.
DR elmore3003, FedEx's behavior is invidious and inexcusable.
Lovely photos DR DearReaderLaura, and 45 species…WOW! :)
Nice pics, DR JoseSPiano. Love PN's hand resting lightly on your shoulder. What the picture DOESN'T show is EK's hand resting lightly on PN's thigh! ;)
Laughing out loud at today's notes, bk!
DR Jennifer, have a lovely, wonderful BIRTHDAY[/color] celebration! :D
And...scene.

DR Cillaliz:
I'm going to be in Fairmont, MN. Which is right on Iowa's northern border. I'm just not sure where in Iowa you are.
a slate roof isn't the place to hang out
Unless you're a Fiddler?
And...speaking of footbridges...
What happened to that occasional breakfast acquaintance of yours? We haven't heard anything in several weeks. :)
-
TOD:
Since I am totally unfamiliar with the LOST HORIZON musical, I don't have any good ideas on a remake. However, I do have a bad one...
Director: David Russell
Richard Conway: George Clooney
Sally Hughes: Lily Tomlin
It may still turn out to be a bad film musical, but it will be a picture that everyone will be talking about.
-
DR JoseSPiano, my mother thoroughly enjoyed All About Us last evening; thanks once again. Fantastic seats! She was glad to have had a chance to "read up" on all the background information ahead of time. And whoever put that information together did a nice job of providing context.
I had a good time, as well. I felt the audience last night was decidedly reticent. Oh yes, they were reticent. There were many times where I was the only one laughing. Well, maybe that's my personal problem. But still, I felt they could have been much more responsive.
I can't put my finger on exactly what it is, but the show - while it has many enjoyable elements - just doesn't "flow" for me as a whole. There is still much that is worthwhile to see and hear. The "keyboard II" part, for example. :) Yvette has grown stronger, I think. And it was great fun seeing the bits of staging that have evolved since the final run-through. Also, the actors have devised all kinds of subtle and not-so-subtle bits of business since that run-through, with some performances under their belts. That was great fun to notice.
I was surprised about the [lack of] a Talkback, but it would have made a very late evening very much later, indeed.
Glad to hear that David Thompson and Stro were there, but I wouldn't recognize them if they had walked up and slapped me. Which I would have deserved.
Oh, and DR MBarnum, since we finished dinner early, my mother and I had a great deal of time before the show. We inspected all of the display posters at the Playhouse, and are fairly certain that the one bearing Frances Farmer's name is not amoung the group currently being displayed.
-
Very cool pic of DR Jose, Eartha Kitt and Paul Newman!

FYI...
With only 4 hours of sleep Tuesday night, and only 5 hours last night, I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for any posts I may commit today...

Good Morning!
Well... That's a start.

I am noticing that the light switches in the bathroom are very old and ugly. And the light fixture.

You can blame me for your lack of sleep.
As for the "lack of talk back", I guess I had my dates mixed up, but there were some other people in the cast who thought there was one last night too, so... ??? Glad you enjoyed the show.
And I know what you mean about the "lack of flow" too. We'll talk. ;)

DR DearReaderLaura - Since you most likely have some "remnants" of paint sitting around, have you ever considered a some kind of faux-wall paint-treatment treatment? I think you would enjoy some sponge painting. And maybe the twins could come over and help you with that too. You just dab here... then there... then there... And so on and so on and so on...
(http://www.paintideas.com/images/tips/sponging.jpg)
Or if you take a rag...

One what?
-
My aunt in washington had themed bathrooms. One is an underwater theme with fish and seaweed and things, the other is a dark jungle with lions and tigers and ...there are no bears in the jungle >.<
-
DR elmore - So, I guess last night would not have been a good night to take the Metro-North train up to Westport. ;)
I know you will have a better day today. And if not, at least a cocktail. :)

Except for DR... Oh, never mind... ::)
-
OK - Semi-random joke time...
A woman came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into the house. She slammed the door and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Honey, pack your bags. I won the lottery!" The husband said, "Oh my God! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?" "Doesn't matter," she said. "Just get out."
-
One what?
Are you being saucy? :)
I have absolutely no idea. This is a production still from A Guy Adrift in the Universe.
-
Hmm... I wonder if this one "applies" to any DRs...
Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the
other is a husband.
;D
-
And one more...
Mother Superior called all the nuns together and said to them, "I must tell you all something. We have a case of gonorrhea in the convent."
"Thank God," said an elderly nun at the back. "I'm so tired of chardonnay."
-
You just dab here... then there... then there... And so on and so on and so on...
A little dab'll do ya!
-
OH... And a classic....
A Polish immigrant went to the DMV to apply for a driver's license. First, of course, he had to take an eye sight test. The optician showed him a card with the letters:
'C Z W I X N O S T A C Z.'
"Can you read this?" the optician asked.
"Read it?" the guy replied, "I know the guy!"
-
And finally...
One day, a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very sexy nightie. "Tie me up," she purred, "and you can do anything you want."
So he tied her up and went off to play golf.
-
LOL DR Jose, just right for pre test- nothing more relaxing than a joke.

H/K's, we now have this in writing for posterity.

And the word of the day is: INVIDIOUS!
The rumors that there are shots of US IN VIDIO form to be found on the Internet are INVIDIOUS - der Brucer and I keep the drapes closed at all times, and none of the dogs has learned to use a video camera.
-
I saw the musical LOST HORIZON at the theater when it was first released and bought the soundtrack LP. I have seen the movie once and listened to the album once, so I can't offer any suggestions to who could have played the roles then or now.
I just know I thought it was one of the most leaden, overlong, and uninteresting musicals I had seen.
And I remember after AIRPORT came out and was such a big hit, producer Ross Hunter was on the Mike Douglas Show, and Mike asked him what his next project was going to be. When Hunter announced he was going to do a musical version of LOST HORIZON, there were audible gasps and whoops and much applause over the announcement. Clearly, they though this was a good idea. What we ended up with wasn't good.
-
DR Michael Shayne, did you mean Rob Marshall to direct a new filming of LOST HORIZON?
-
I have last night's MEDIUM and CSI: NY to watch today, and I'd also like to watch MY GAL SAL so I can clear it off the DVR. It's going to be very crowded on there tonight, the first night of sweeps.
-
Because this is the first night of the spring ratings sweeps, everything is new tonight, so get those DVRs and VCRs ready for some recording.
-
Thanks, DR Jose, for the photos of you, Ms. Kitt, and Mr. Newman. Always great to see our H/Ks making themselves known among the famous.
-
Back to LOST HORIZON again, I'm not sure I've ever seen the Ronald Colman version all the way through. I'm not sure I own a copy of it either. If I do, it's on the to-watch shelf bought used some years ago.

Ah, well the casting kills this for me. I refuse to watch anything done by Tom Cruise, simply because I can no longer separate his off-screen antics from what he does on-screen.
-
Oh, and I want to finish A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS today, too. I got to the point in the film where Henry VIII made his "surprise" visit to the Mores' house.

I may actually get some catching-up done today! It's a for real day off for me, with the phone off the hook (well, not really, but I'm ignoring all messages).
As it is, I'm still a bit stiff from the cart wrangling of two days ago, but I'll have recovered enough to tackle the job again tomorrow. And the bit of sunburn that I got has tamed down.
I still need to get to the store today. We're almost out of soda, and there are a couple of sales I want to take advantage of - whole boneless pork loins at less than half price (time to pick up two), and those spiral-shaped energy saver light bulbs on a ten-for-ten sale (which really means just one dollar each) (but I'll have to get a rain check on this bargain, because we sold out by last Saturday and still haven't received a new shipment).
Other than that, it's a very nice day, and I intend to be nicely lazy for most of it.
-
And the famous making themselves known among the H/Ks. Let's get our priorities going!
Well, I guess what I meant was that these folks are seeing what real talent is!

Definitely hope today is better than yesterday, DR Elmore.
Aren't those kinds of days just awful. I know we've all had them where nothing seems to go our way. I don't blame DR Elmore for just going to bed early and forgetting the day ever happened.

Heading down now to clean up a bit for my lunch out with friends.

Thursday morning greetings! DH Richard had his post-op check-up with the
hunk surgeon this morning. I was going to go into work late, but decided to take the rest of the day to look after him (DH Richard, not the hunk surgeon!).
-
One day Ollie came home to find his wife Lena sitting stark naked on their bed.
"Holy cow, Lena," Ollie exclaimed. "What are you doing sitting around like that in the middle of the day?"
And Lena started crying. "I don't have anything nice to wear", she sobbed.
"What do you mean you don't have anything nice to wear?" asked Ollie as he opened their bedroom closet. "Why, look in here! Here's your pretty blue dress, here's your nice Sunday church dress, here's your nice every day dress, here's our neighbor Frank, here's your pretty green dress..."
-
Happiest of birthdays to DR Jennifer!
-
Thanks for all the birthday wishes.
I have a cake story for DR Laura.
The restaurant where i usually go for my birthday provides a free cake. The one i am going to tonight not only does not provide a free cake. But they charge $1.50/person to cut the cake (we are 8 people).
My aunt told them she would cut the cake herself (but this is not allowed).
They don't sell cakes (although they do sell very expensive single slices).
Now i don't really care (they do bring out a piece of cake for free). But my aunt was quite annoyed.
Is this a common thing? I get that it could be a pain for them to store the cake. But we always bring cakes to restaurants (for birthdays). and this is the first time we've come across such a policy!
So no cake description for DR Laura (although i can do a piece of cake description). :)
-
{{{DR Elmore}}} - Hope today is a better day for you.

All of these corny jokes are ALMOST worthy of DR Ron Pulliam! :)
-
I have not read any reports about last night's IDOL. But i did not like it very much.
The format bothered me. WE have these hugely upsetting stories, mixed with singers, and worthless idol's being declared safe. That was so mean what they did to jordin. The girl was in tears!
I also really disliked the idea of them not eliminating anyone. My gosh if anyone sat through the whole two hours, that was not fair. Plus what if the person with the least votes this week is not one of the bottom 2 next week. I find the whole thing unfair.

[size=8]SPOILERS[/size]
Well...it means no one is looking for survivors. Whether the strange lady is telling the truth or not remains to be seen. I've often wondered if this island was a "purgatory" for crewmembers who "died" when the plane crashed.
On the other hand, we know the flight cannot have been "found" since we, ourselves, have seen the nose and tail sections during the course of the first and second seasons.

Very cool pic of DR Jose, Eartha Kitt and Paul Newman!
When I was a kid, folks used to say my dad looked quite a lot like Paul Newman. I never saw it.
Looking at this picture, however, it's eerie how much, in his last years, my dad resembled how Paul looks now.

I quite agree with you. Each elimination is based on how you performed the night before. Some contestants LITERALLY stay or go based on a performance.
Someone should have gone last night. Period. Two leaving next week doesn't cut it at all. Averaging out votes over two weeks isn't the answer.
I hope all the self-congratulations are done with this "Idol Gives Back" event.

Jose, I had thought about going to Koreatown last night, but was too tired to make the trek...although I am not so sure it wasn't any further of a drive then going to Van Nuys...well, actually I drove all the way to Panorama City (a frightenning place, by the way) and then backtracked on Van Nuys Blvd until I Located the restaurant (as that is how I came across it the first time I ate there)
-
DR JRand56, Sally Todd thought Allison was a sweet lady. They didn't work together a whole lot, however.

Michael S-Nice pictures & you look happy.
MBarnum-Great story meeting two special people in the store. I would say you are having a very fun & successful trip.

Elmore-HAVE A GREAT DAY!
Jennifer, we had a Baskin Robbins Birthday cake for my father’s 90th birthday & a very nice restaurant in Los Angeles. I saw the bill & I don’t remember a charge for cutting a cake. There were about 15 of us there.
-
...And while walking back from Chelsea Barber, they were setting up some tents and the red carpet for one of the opening day events for the TriBeCa Film Festival. And there were giving out bags of popcorn! Yum!
-
DR Jennifer - Just explain to the restaurant that you have to bring the cake for religious and/or dietary restrictions. That usually helps to defray the "cutting fee".
*Now I'm wondering what their corkage fee is for anyone who brings their wine.
-
DR JRand - :D Thank You!

That is what I painted over in the kitchen. I cannot do crafty things at all. It looked like a five-year-old did a Vacation Bible School project.

[size=8]SPOILERS[/size]
Well...it means no one is looking for survivors. Whether the strange lady is telling the truth or not remains to be seen. I've often wondered if this island was a "purgatory" for crewmembers who "died" when the plane crashed.
On the other hand, we know the flight cannot have been "found" since we, ourselves, have seen the nose and tail sections during the course of the first and second seasons.
Yes, spoiler warnings ARE appreciated...
About what Parachute Lady has said about Oceanic Flight 815--it also means that someone went to an awful lot--an awful lot--of trouble to cover up what really happened. And that means that they'll go to just as much trouble to make sure there is no rescue from the outside. Which means that once Mr. Eyepatch informs the Others about Parachute Lady and her satellite phone, our survivors will have a lot more to worry about than just having a deceitful Juliet in their midsts.

My aunt in washington had themed bathrooms. One is an underwater theme with fish and seaweed and things, the other is a dark jungle with lions and tigers and ...there are no bears in the jungle >.<
I was thinking flamingos. Maybe an arrangement of pink feathers on the wall, perhaps. Something like they would do on one of those trading places shows I've seen when I've had a motel room with cable.

Jrand, I would keep the Bacharach score and a portion of the Hal David lyric. I might have me or David Zippel or someone like that write new lyrics for the rest.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes.
I have a cake story for DR Laura.
The restaurant where i usually go for my birthday provides a free cake. The one i am going to tonight not only does not provide a free cake. But they charge $1.50/person to cut the cake (we are 8 people).
My aunt told them she would cut the cake herself (but this is not allowed).
Well, then, I guess you have no other choice but to put the cake in the middle of the table and everyone dig in with their hands. Kinda like a one-year-old in the high chair at his first birthday.

DR MBarnum, when you go to Hollywood, do you know everyone on all the stars on Hollywood Blvd?
Perhaps 90 % of them....I always seem to see some names that I do not recognize!

I could mix glitter in with the paint!
Or -- I found some flamingo confetti. I could somehow work in.

I was saddened to read of the passing of actress, Anne Pitoniak (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/107627.html). I had seen her a few times when I was working at the New Harmony Theatre. A wonderful actress, and an endearing woman.

The mail is in. It included the flyer for next week's sales at the store.

Go figure.

The bad news is Austrian Airlines now tell Craig they don’t have room for Yogi and it will cost more to fly on Lufthansa, While Austrian jerked him around saying the flights for Yogi were confirmed, they would not send him a written confirmation. Lufthansa was very nice and confirmed Yogi while Craig waited on the phone.
The good news is Craig’s flight is scheduled to arrive earlier, at 12:45. If all goes well we should be able to make the drive to Pittsburgh in one day.

Earlier is better especially when dealing with the DC area rush hour. Which runs basically from 2:30pm-6:45. And that's on a "good day".

DR Jane, your family's troubles are not listening to us. They are supposed to cease and desist...immediately.

I love oatmeal raisin cookies (knowing my breakfast habits why would you be surprised) but that dark chocolate chocolate chip cookie speaks to me!

And that dark chocolate peanut butter chip cookie ain't lookin' too shabby either!

DR Ben - Well, I could always make a few pit stops on the way to Grand Central this afternoon... :)
-
Back from a jog - I'm finally in the jog mode again, and it feels good, as sore as my legs are at the moment. Now I will shed those unseemly pounds I've put back on since Christmas.
-
Wanna cookie, BK?
-
DR Ben - Of course, if you'd like to venture out on your own:
167 W 74th (between Amsterdam and Columbus, closer to Amsterdam)
They're just a short walk from the 72nd Street stop on the 1, 2 or 3. And a few blocks over from the 72nd Street stop on the B and C.
They're open until 7:00.
-
Pit stops in your pit blacks?
Gad, I had no idea that those cookies were $3.50 per!?!!?

Perhaps sometime this weekend we will venture out of our comfort zone of Chelsea and see what exists in other neighborhoods.

I did have a very nice dinner with my friend from Tucson yesterday. The food at Junior's is good. It's moderately priced and the portions are large. Too large for me but not for the rest of America it seems. My friend saw Chorus Line and liked it very much. He had seen the original 14 times and loves it but he thought this production was very worthwhile.
He saw Spring Awakening last night but I haven't heard yet how he liked (or disliked) the show.
-
He has at least one show planned every night that he's here. He arrived late Tuesday evening (too late to see a show) and he saw two shows yesterday. He has one this evening, one tomorrow (Friday), two on Saturday, two on Sunday, one on Monday, one on Tuesday, two on Wednesday and he leaves on Thursday. 12 shows in seven full days in the city!
-
Geez, Jose....you really pay through the nose for your brand of lovin'!
-
DR FJL - I finally talked to my friend who had also seen Legally Blonde during it's first week of previews, and then again this past weekend. He said he still likes the show, but he seemed to notice a bit of "tightening" up of the pace. Alas, he felt "they" weren't leaving time for the jokes to build up properly, and for the laughs to settle.
But what bugged him the most was that most of the women sounded alike, both aurally and stylistically. And he also had quite a bit of difficulty with the diction the second time round.
-
YAY!!! Now, you're perfect, too, DR DearReaderLaura!
Yes, I, too, am now perfect.
I just can't eat mammals, fried food, junk food, or dessert.
-
Geez, Jose....you really pay through the nose for your brand of lovin'!
Which is why I indulge occasionally. It's all about moderation. *But the cookies do weigh in at a nice and hefty 6 ounces each.
But, heck, $3.50 is cheaper than almost all of those coffee creations at Starbucks. And I don't do Starbucks regularly like a lot of people in this city - and elsewhere - seem to do.
And, heck, "it" could also be cigarettes. How much a pack are those running nowadays?
-

Does your friend like cookies? ;)
-Of course, since he's spending so much time in the Theatre District, he could always make a run over to 9th Avenue to Amy's Bread for some in-between show nourishment.
-

...And I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that a Grande Cinnamon Dolce Latte has more sugar and calories then one of those cookies.

OK... Time to take care of some things here in the apartment...

You'd think that after living here for 25 years we would have the fuses labeled.
Actually we do have a few labeled. DH just thought that BR meant bedroom, not bathroom. He finally figured it out after pulling all the rest of them.
-
I am noticing that we still have a fuse box and that it is time to upgrade to a breaker box.

No cookie - I must be STRONG!

DR Laura, you were joking. But what would they do if we put the cake in the middle of the table and just dug our forks into it! :)

$4.50 or more per pack in California.
"It" could also be DVDs or CDs! Each worth about 4 cookies!

Torando warning.....

I can already pretty much say what i got for my birthday, since i mostly end up always picking my own gifts.
I love what my aunt and uncle got me. It's a purse. Well i don't know exactly what you call those money packs that go around your waist. But this one is Guess (i love that brand). It's sort of a taupe color. And it is so beautiful! It was way too expensive (i'm more of a sale kind of person). But i really wanted to get one of those for the summer, and they really wanted me to have the one i wanted.
-
I also already know what i am eating. Bbq babyback ribs. I always go to my favorite restaurant, baton rouge. But this past year they opened a similar style restaurant (same kind of food). But they also have steak, roast beef... and it is fancier (the bathrooms have glass doors with fancy sinks) and has really great service.
Except for the cake development. :)

I found this interesting statement over at zabasearch.com (http://www.zabasearch.com/ai_stats.php):
"Phil, LaKisha and Chris are bottom three, Period!
"This is the accurate outcome of votes cast. American Idol's network and call capture systems not capable of accurately counting votes in this volume. Accurate voting results can only be achieved by vote samplings. Phil, LaKisha and Chris received the fewest votes this week, Period.
"No one is going home because American Idol does not know the accurate vote count. Domestic phone network trunks not able to handle the volume of calls accurately. Traffic congestion shuts down and overruns switches resulting in wildly inaccurate voting counts.
"Sooner or later, this truth will surface in the media. This is not American Idol's fault or their intention. Local exchange carrier phone networks simply not able to handle the volume of calls accurately. The show has become more popular than U.S. phone systems can handle.
"*Sanjaya did not get the fewest votes last week. He may have gotten the least votes counted, but not the least votes cast."
-
And you know how bad a torando in Indiana can be.
I do. I survived several torando warnings during my five years in Indianoplace.

I am all caught up and now I am off to a dance recital. It's a long trek up to the Bronx.
-
Jose - Re Legally Blonde - I'm wondering whether, as the audience gets to be more and more pre-teen and teenage girls and their moms, the laughs that were so strong during the first week of previews were not getting the expected reactions by the third and fourth weeks, so the actors and directors have compensated by rushing the set-ups a little. I didn't notice the rushing, but I did notice that great lines were not getting laughs, though, while they did during the first preview week.
-
Applaud regularly, DR ELMORE.
And yes DR RP - I would guess in five years, you survived SEVERAL.....
-
I am less optimistic than MR BK that I could separate the David lyrics from the Bacharach music....whew!
DRMBARNUM saw Ogg AND Todd yesterday! One more sighting will make it a trifecta...and I am guessing that MR BK really does count....so he can start on a new trinity of sightings today.
BUT even though Ms Todd was in FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER, DR JOSE's Paul Newman meeting trumps it.

Lucille Ball.
Just thought I would say that to make everyone smile.
Because you KNOW if I was there with DRMBARNUM in Hollywood, John Wayne's footprints would be gone from the forecourt at Grauman's Chinese Theater!
-
In any event, I'm glad I saw Legally Blonde twice before the family audience discovered it. Some of the humor is just not necessarily family-friendly. I was sure that the lawyer/MBA/investment banker crowd would catch on to it, since it's so up and positive about being in professions where you can potentially make a difference, and the charcatres are 22-25, not teens - that may yet happen, but it seems the pre-teen and teen girls have gottne there first. But I wish them well with the reviews no matter what.

By the way, if anyone wants to come up and visit me in Westchester County, we can go to visit Judy Garland's final resting place in Hartsdale.
We could pack a picnic lunch. Well, actually, she's inside. But anyway...
I'm just sayin'.

Good Afternoon!
Well, since it's still a nice sunny day outside, I think I'm gonna head to midtown for a bit of walking around and window shopping, and then grab the train back up to Westport at Grand Central a little after 5:00. So...

But who would we have cast in Lost Horizon back when it was made? And who SHOULD have directed it?
Here's some choices:
Director: Robert Wise
Choreographer: Michael Bennett or Ron Field
Writer: Ernest Lehman
Score: Burt Bacharach with some new lyrics by Mr. David
Cast:
In the Peter Finch role: Richard Burton
In the Liv Ullman role: Julie Andrews
In the Bobby Van role: Tommy Rall, Bob Fosse, or Bobby Van
In the Sally Kellerman role: Jill Clayburgh or Michelle Lee or Diane Keaton
In the George Kennedy role: George Kennedy
In the Olivia Hussey role: ?
Chang: John Gielgud
High Lama: Charles Boyer or Sam Jaffe
-
Good up to there....who is doing the music, Mr Producer?
BK already established in the notes that the score would remain intact.

I ate a Subway club and did have a couple of the Subway's very tasty cookies, but that's it for me - so it's definitely under 1500 calories, plus I jogged.

The thing that bothers me most about not eliminating someone last night or letting us see who was in danger was that often, people get complacent if they think their favorite is safe and either don't vote or vote for someone else who seems to be unsafe. Once it becomes known that the person is in danger often gets those fans to really pump up their voting. How many times have we seen someone in the bottom group jump back up to the top once their fans were made aware they weren't immune to being eliminated.
Remember that Fantasia was next to the bottom the week that Jennifer Hudson was eliminated three years ago. After that, Fantasia was never in the bottom again.
What if Melinda's fans have no idea that she's really in danger of being eliminated. They might be voting for others or simply not voting for Melinda.
Making the bottom three known is the LEAST they could have done.
-
But who would we have cast in Lost Horizon back when it was made? And who SHOULD have directed it?

For the Hussey character, I think Barbara Hershey might have brought some depth to the role.
What a treat it might have been for Jaffe to repeat as the High Lama!

Lunch ran long again today, so I didn't get as much viewing accomplished that I was expecting to.
I did begin with MEDIUM, and it was a good episode. I pretty much figured it out before the resolution, but that was a great moment in the apartment when Allison was taking to the "ghost."
And Ariel's anger about the summer camp seemed very real to me. Funny, though. As a kid, I had a savings account and a small stock portfolio given to me by my uncle, but I knew that was money not to be touched, and it wasn't until I needed a down payment when I bought my home.

CSI: NY had two interesting cases: a dead girl whose eylids had been cut off and a man poisoned on the boardwalk at Coney Island (and not by eating anything). Very interesting cases, and it featured a great guest performance by Joey Lawrence as a serial killer.

I'm surprised you're not even curious to hear what she sounds like. She's a very talented singer and seems to be a super sweet girl. I watch the show anyway, but when Fantasia (who's from here) or Kellie Pickler (who's from a town about 25 miles away) were contestants, I would have watched just to see who the local folks were who everyone was talking about.

"The world is a rhomboid without a circumference
And nobody knows what this simile means"
That's from the Mad satire Least Horizon. Funny, there's a hilarious lyric line in LEGALLY BLONDE about metaphors that seems to be a reference to that Mad parody line :) - got big laughs the first week of previews, not a titter in the child-laden audience yesterday.
-
I don't know if O'Keefe and Benjamin actually knew they were referencing Mad, but I just thought they were.

The metaphor reference is in the zanily silly "Ireland" number.

Hooray for John Kander (And Fred Ebb) and Austin Pendleton!

I drove all the way to Panorama City (a frightenning place, by the way)
Is this why page 4 is in Cinemascope?

Speaking of Kander & Ebb, and with the notes being about new mown hay, Ebb's adorable line from THE ACT: "New mown hay gives me hay fever."

I got my cholesterol test results. I passed!
Congratulations, DR Laura! (Unless you cheated off the person sitting next to you...)

From Kander and Ebb's "City Lights" from THE ACT:

I must confess that I heard that third line as "So laid back, I mind my crack" the first time I heard it in the theater. :)

I'm guessing the conference site of Disneyworld was selected so that spouses/kids might be able to travel. I think that's cool....to an extent.
All work and no play makes EVERYONE a dull girl or boy....or other.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR JENNIFER~!!!!!!!
-
Good Evening!
Greetings from the Green Room.
There's nothing like a train ride to make one feel sleepy... I want to take a nap now.
In any case...
Nothing a nice espresso couldn't cure.
-
Happy Birthday DR Jennifer!
I hope you have a lovely day full of friends and surprises!
-
I couldn't sleep, so I painted the bathroom. I mixed the very boring light shade of blue with the kitchen blue to make a custom color.
and what did we get?
-
For the RECORD, Dear Ones:
My page 4 post (i.e. #98) did not put "me" into Cinemascope. I had no idea what folks were talking about.
The hints about the post # didn't register, either. Just come out and tell me, "Ron, your damned graphics have the rest of us in Cinemascope...can you please reduce the size!?
And I shall happily oblige one and all.
;D
Ron, your damned graphics have the rest of us in Cinemascope...can you please reduce the size!?
;)
-I really had no idea what was causing the Cinemascope since everything looked OK each time I checked the page. I kept thinking it was just "one of those things" that happens from time to time.
No worries.
-
DR DearReaderLaura - Since you most likely have some "remnants" of paint sitting around, have you ever considered a some kind of faux-wall paint-treatment treatment? I think you would enjoy some sponge painting. And maybe the twins could come over and help you with that too. You just dab here... then there... then there... And so on and so on and so on...
(http://www.paintideas.com/images/tips/sponging.jpg)
Or if you take a rag...
(http://www.paintideas.com/images/tips/ragging.jpg)
Etc., etc., etc. (ah, a King & I reference)
It is kinda fun to do that. A friend of mine who has young kids, let them put the hands in paint and make handprints on the walls near the light switch and and few other spots in the bathroom. It turned out rather cute.
-
Nothing a nice espresso couldn't cure.
I may just settle for some green tea.
-
DR Jennifer. Tell them they don't need to cut the cake, just bring 8 forks!
-
DR Jane, your family's troubles are not listening to us. They are supposed to cease and desist...immediately.
;D ;D If only it were that easy....sigh... :)
-
Here are the beginnings of my Lost Horizon remake choices - and I'm doing this as if I were producing what I hoped would be a first-class and excellent and interesting film musical.
Director: Francois Ozon
Writer: Patrick Marbar
Choreographer: Tommy Tune
In the Peter Finch role: Hugh Jackman
In the Bobby Van role: Noah Racey
In the Liv Ullman role: Naomi Watts
In the Olivia Hussey role: Ludivine Seigner
In the Sally Kellerman role: Jane Krakowski
In the George Kennedy role: Will Smith
Chang: Anthony Wong
The High Lama: Peter O'Toole
I agree with bk on the sally kellerman role with the casting of Jane Krakowski
In the GEorge Kennedy role, I can see Will Smith or Matt ashford
-
Lucille Ball.
Just thought I would say that to make everyone smile.
Because you KNOW if I was there with DRMBARNUM in Hollywood, John Wayne's footprints would be gone from the forecourt at Grauman's Chinese Theater!

JRAnd and MBarnum...the new Lucy and Ethel!
-
DR Laura, you were joking. But what would they do if we put the cake in the middle of the table and just dug our forks into it! :)
I should have read all the posts before I made my suggestion!
-
So... I buy a copy of the New York Times to read on the train ride up to Westport... And as I'm going section by section, I realize that I've read it all before... Online.
:P
-
Ben every time you mention Juniors, I think of the deli in West L.A.
Jennifer-It’s sweet of your Aunt & Uncle to want you to have the guess purse. I’m looking forward to hearing if you all “shared” the cake.
JRand-Good NO TORNADO vibes!
-
OH, spoo! I got my quotes screwed up.
-
DR Cillaliz - the conference you're going to in Florida sounds like a great way to start the new phase of your career.
Thanks Ginny, I think so too, and with it only being 2 weeks before I leave my job, I'm more likely to remember what I learn long enough to actually use it ;)
-
Well, we just got the half hour call, so...
Laters...
-
Ron, your damned graphics have the rest of us in Cinemascope...can you please reduce the size!?
;)
-I really had no idea what was causing the Cinemascope since everything looked OK each time I checked the page. I kept thinking it was just "one of those things" that happens from time to time.
No worries.
My damn graphics have been reduced in size. Did it make a difference to page 4?
:)
-
Cilla ;D
Ginny-I also enjoyed Maisie Dobbs. There are three more books which I keep forgetting to look for.
-
I sincerely hope she doesn't find herself going all these GREAT places if she isn't going to have some personal time to enjoy it.

All work and no play makes EVERYONE a dull girl or boy....or other.
It's ok. At this point, I would rather go to class than play in Disney World. Give me a few years, I'll make time to enjoy the places just as I did with my national criminal defense conferences.
-
JRand and MBarnum, the new Lucy and Ethel.
NOW I understand why JRand would be swiping John Wayne's footprints.
I may be slowing down, but I DO get there eventually.
-

:P
LOL,. I've done that before, not with the NYT, but with a local paper
-
OH, spoo! I got my quotes screwed up.
Usually, it's your screw ups quoted!
-
I am back from a wonderful lunch with Joe Morrison. Wow, at age 74 he looks better then I do at 43. I need to get to the gym.
WE ate at a nice place on W. Pico Blvd (1 block south of Overland) called LOUISE'S...good food. I had the tilapia special and Joe had a salad (he eats very healthy).
I left quite early to get over there and it was a good thing because I got very lost and ended up driving around Beverly Hills for about an hour...of course being lost in Beverly Hills is not so bad...such a pretty place! I had thought for some reason that Santa Monica Blvd intersected at an angle with Sunset Blvd....evidently I was wrong and that was my first mistake.
Eventually I stopped at a Firehouse in Beverly Hills...walked through the place saw the engines, went through the area where the firemen work out and even into an empty office...but the placed seemed deserted! I think those firemen were hiding from me! Evidently DR Elmore's all points bulletin must have gone out.
So instead I got help from a Verizon workman who was in front of the Fire Station and he directed me to Santa Monica Blvd (I was at Sunset and Beverly Glen, I think).
After a few more wrong turns after asking a few more directions at Walgreens and a couple of postmen/women (all of whom gave me the wrong directions!) I managed to find Pico...and the restaurant...got there exactly on time!
It was a fun adventure!
-
Today was chimney sweep day. He remembered me climbing up on the roof with him. (Maybe it was the chorus of chim chimney I sang while we were up there, lol) Anyway, the chimneys are clean enough but the cement on the top is cracking and water is getting in. So, he's coming back tomorrow and will patch the cement and give me chimney caps to stop the weather and critters from getting in. So - I am now cleared to use the fireplaces. Of course I have no desire to use them right now, but I am cleared to do it.
-
I wonder if Erik Estrada or Lorenzo Lamas have checked in yet?
Laurie should be here around 5pm then we are going to the convention place in the hotel to see what table she got (and then switch name plates with some other celebrity who has a better table. 8) )
-
Each flu is getting one of these.
-
I realize that HHW is NOT the sports capital of the Internet, but does anyone here know where this photo is from or who the people are in this photo? Someone sent it to me, thinking that I might know; but I haven't a clew.....
Anyone?
-
Happy birthday, Dear Reader Jennifer!
-
I couldn't sleep, so I painted the bathroom. I mixed the very boring light shade of blue with the kitchen blue to make a custom color.
I was wondering how the bathroom changed color overnight.
-
LOL MBarnum. I believe you were thinking of Santa Monica & Wilshire. You still didn't go nearly far enough if you were in Beverly Hills. I think you just wanted the side trip, and the area of town you were headed to isn't nearly as much fun.
-
I was wondering how the bathroom changed color overnight.
ROTFLOL!
-
Whither DR BrettySpaghetti?
Did he get covered by new mown hay?
Did he dislike The Closer. and felt he couldn't come back?
Maybe he left because I called him Beffaroni?
-
Well, then, I guess you have no other choice but to put the cake in the middle of the table and everyone dig in with their hands. Kinda like a one-year-old in the high chair at his first birthday.
Do it!
-
Good evening dear Esteemed, rested, and well-kissed BK --
I am ashamed that today has been so hectic, that I have had to just read the days "notes" and then jump here to the end to say a quick hello.
I'm leaving for a 6 day business trip tomorrow morning, VERY EARLY, and dear DR Laura has gone beyond the bounds of friendship and is going to pick me up and take me to the airport at....... 5:00 AM !!!!
-
DR Laura, I have a mental picture of you waking up in the middle of the night, making sure everyone was asleep, painting the bathroom in your night gown then climbing back into bed and getting up in the morning like nothing happened.
-
I am going to take my laptop with me on this trip, so I hope to be able to check in now and then and see and read all of the dear H/Ks, DRs, studlies and lovelies, and
the ever-ravishing BK (thanks to Teddy's new artistic contributions.)
-
Dear sweet ELMO ----- Damn them... Damn them all to hell !!!
You tell people they have to be nice to you.
Ah haz spoken !!
-
Safe travel VIbes For DR MUSICGUY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyone?
Dear TCB ..... you really had to post this?? My God, I'll never get caught up on all of the posts this will generate!
Maybe it's a cross between a secret handshake, and a decoder ring!!
I blame Jose ! :)
-
Ta ta for now all.....
-
Jose, just to clarify something from last night. I personally don't think you need a haircut, I think you are just fat.
-
Today is the anniversary of her death. I forget the year.
1989
-
I'm listening to a new recording of The Private Life Of Sherlock Holmes by Miklos Rozsa. While it's getting raves everywhere, I'm a little less than thrilled with the interpretation and the violin solos, but then I'm used to Heifitz. Still, it's grand to have it.
-
I am awaiting the OFFICE to make my East Coast Murphy report.
-
Jose, just to clarify something from last night. I personally don't think you need a haircut, I think you are just fat.
LOL!
-
He has at least one show planned every night that he's here. He arrived late Tuesday evening (too late to see a show) and he saw two shows yesterday. He has one this evening, one tomorrow (Friday), two on Saturday, two on Sunday, one on Monday, one on Tuesday, two on Wednesday and he leaves on Thursday. 12 shows in seven full days in the city!
Isn't Broadway still dark on Mondays?
-
I am awaiting the OFFICE to make my East Coast Murphy report.
I'd better plug in the tv!
-
In case you missed the news:
-
I'm surprised you're not even curious to hear what she sounds like. She's a very talented singer and seems to be a super sweet girl....
DR Matt H, I don't have the attention span to sit and watch a television show.
It will be a challenge for me to watch an entire episode of "The Office" tonight, but I'll try!
-
I'd better plug in the tv!
Or pedal faster! ;D
-
I am very tired
-
Thanks DR JANE - lots of rain and some wind, but nothing drastic.
Merlin the Cat found a mouse and spent the afternoon playing with it and giving it the idea that it might survive the encounter. It was a false mouse hope.
-
I am very tired
Too much math can do that to a person. 8)
-
My friend Shannon called and asked if I'd sit with her while she ate something - I hadn't seen her in months, so I said yes. We went to Casa Vega and had a nice time catching up. I was a semi-bad boy and had a beef taco, but no chips and salsa, so I think I'm okay.
-
Here is the quote from DR Cason about his appearance in "The Office."
"The best places to watch for me are in the background when Jim and Andy first pull up to the school they are going to (I am in a black hoodie and walk behind them as they are getting out of the car); another prime spot (if they didn't edit it out) will be in a hallway when Andy recognizes his "girlfriend" -- they did several takes where there is a 30-something teacher who Jim mistakenly thinks Andy is talking about at first and I am right behind her - who I believe they pan in on...
Other assorted places are in a hallway scene when the bell rings and everyone scatters, I run into a classroom right behind Jim - then there are the obligatory courtyard scenes where everyone is wandering around. When Jim and Andy exit out of the school (again, if they kept that shot), myself and another guy run out of the building right before the two of them exit. Just keep your eyes peeled for a brown haired guy in a black hoodie, a green sweater, and jeans... "
-
Panorama City was not always a horror of a place - it was quite middle class and nice in the late sixties early seventies - my ex-wife had several relatives who lived there, and our first apartment was five minutes from there.
-
I forgot to mention that Joe Morrison played Lil Abner in Lil Abner on stage back in the 60s in Miami...Carol Livingston played Daisy Mae....he gave me a photo from it which I will scan upon my return home.
-
Well, Panorama City seems a bit seedy now...sort of like parts of Salem...but I think that Van Nuys is rather nice.
-
Cason Murphy was indeed in the PULL UP to the school shot....some nice screen time. Didn't see him in the hallway....but it's just half time, so we may have some more shots yet.
-
Panorama City is totally seedy now. Parts of Van Nuys are equally seedy, and other parts of Van Nuys are very nice - they tend to call those parts Valley Glen now.
-
I kissed at least three people hello today - right on the lips and everything. I tried to kiss a stranger hello, but she hit me with her dog.
-
I shall be finishing a film entitled Arthur and the Invisibles this evening. So far, it's enjoyable - noisy and too CGI-colorful, but not uninteresting.
-
Here's another capitalization question: If one is talking about a black person, should the B be capitalized?
-
I mean, in the same way you'd capitalize Hispanic.
-
I checked out the tables in the convention hall place...Laurie's table is kitty corner from Erik Estrada's and nowhere near Mickey Rooney's (thank goodness). I think Tai Babalonia is nearby and so amazonian wrestler girl has the table next to us.
The place was empty aside from 1970 porn actress Seka who had already set up her table and was entertaining several middle aged vendors. Of course the actual show isn't until tomorrow...but looks like she wanted to get a head start on meeting her fans!
And for some reason they are putting Butch Patrick right next to her rather then next to his co-star from The Munsters.
-
This will be our table mate at the show for the next two days....
(http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/d/d4/Playboy_November_1999.jpg)
-
No, black is an adjective in that case - Hispanic refers to a specific national origin.
-
Back of the Murphy head sighting as he leaves the principal's office.
-
DR MBARNUM - my guess is that is was Butch's idea.
-
Oh, and it's also been a while since we've done a "Roll Call".
My name is Sandra (or Cassandra, Exandra, Cazanda, or Cassanwa, if you prefer) and I'm a Cherry Coke-aholic. I ate cookies for breakfast this morning (Oreo peanut butter Double Stuf) and cooked broccoli for lunch (blergh!) and immediately got on a bus headed toward a convenience mart that sells Cherry Coke in order to get the taste out of my mouth. I would have had a plate for lunch too, if Brandon had eaten his broccoli.
I am listening to Lawrence Welk and the Champagne Music Makers on my iPod Artaxerxes.
-
Well, the vendors should be finished unloading their movie memorablia for the early bird show at 6pm...I like to get in to peruse the boxes of stills and posters before the crowds.
-
Seka is now sitting in the courtyard...I am 5 floors up and I can see her.
There are also a lot of sirens going off outside...coincidence? I think not.
-
Is she wearing her boxing gloves?
-
DR TCB - I think that is some sort of sports ritual that the natives perform during the spring training season.
-
Uh oh. An oops report today, DR Sandra? Who was it this time?
-
Uh oh. An oops report today, DR Sandra? Who was it this time?
Owen.
-
So, if one was saying someone was passing by Hispanics and Swedes and blacks it would be lower case on the "b"? In other words, the blacks as a group of people.
-
I'm leaving for a 6 day business trip tomorrow morning, VERY EARLY, and dear DR Laura has gone beyond the bounds of friendship and is going to pick me up and take me to the airport at....... 5:00 AM !!!!
Sweet DR Laura, would you like to pick me up the same time, one week later, in DC?
MusicGuy, safe & easy travels.

Just as whites, as a group of people, is lower case.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=e3m8G425Wcw&mode=user&search=
Believe it or not, YouTube has removed part 2 because it was too "racy"!!
-
Hmmmm......Style Book of SPJ says capitalize Black when you are using it interchangeably with the term African-American to denote a specific race. If you capitalize Hispanic then in the same context you capitalize Black.
Learn something everyday. In that sentence then, yes, Blacks would be capitalized.
-
Owen Oops!

He sure is cute and the interview was a riot. I'm surprised more wasn't beeped out. ;D

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel opinion:
"Q. Why does the Journal Sentinel capitalize Hispanics, Asians, Latinos and Jews, but not blacks?
A. Our practice is to capitalize ethnicities and nationalities, not racial designations based on a skin color, such as black, white, brown, yellow or red. Some ethnicities generally denote race, such as African-American or Asian, and yet, there are Africans who are not black and there are Asians who are Caucasian, even if their skin is brown. Someone who is Hispanic can be of any race.
The only races generally described in terms of color are black and white, and to capitalize either or both would be jarring to readers because neither word is a proper noun.
Most newspapers now consider African-American and black to be interchangeable, except, of course, when it wouldn't be accurate. If a source prefers to be called one or the other, we honor the source's preference. Our style is to generally use American Indian, but if a source prefers Native American, we will use that. "
In your sentence it is used as a proper noun. I guess.
-
Then I presume Whites would also be capitalized?
-
But saying a white or black person would be lower case, right?
-
DR Michael Shayne, did you mean Rob Marshall to direct a new filming of LOST HORIZON?
Yes
-
Funny interview....Charlotte is a fun interviewer!!
-
Then I presume Whites would also be capitalized?
In that context yes.
-
Ah, well the casting kills this for me. I refuse to watch anything done by Tom Cruise, simply because I can no longer separate his off-screen antics from what he does on-screen.
That's why I chose Tom Cruise. Can't stand him. Won't see a movie with him in it.
-
But saying a white or black person would be lower case, right?
Yes because then the word becomes an adjective.
-
Seka is now sitting in the courtyard...I am 5 floors up and I can see her.
There are also a lot of sirens going off outside...coincidence? I think not.
Are you at a porn conference?
-

GOOD VIBES TO DM OF DR DANISE!!
When Danise returned home from work her mother asked to go to the hospital as she wasn't feeling well. She must have felt terrible, knowing her aversion to doctor's. They have been there since 6:00.

That Playboy cover reminded me of one of the posters that was always being advertised in National Lampoon magazine during the 70s. It featured a topless girl with boxing gloves in four different poses with her saying:
"I'm the Queen of England,
I like to sing and dance,
And if you don't believe me
I'll punch you in the pants!"
It always made me laugh.

The graphics on page 4 didn't put me into Cinemascope either.
-
I wonder if DR Jennifer has her hands full of cake.
-
I finished A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS. It's a beautifully made film with fine performances. I still would have voted for WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? for Best Picture if I had had an Oscar vote in 1966.
-
Best wishes go to DR Danise's mother.
-
I finished the movie just it time for UGLY BETTY. The ignoramuses at the local ABC affiliate didn't flip the HD switch until about 8 minutes into the broadcast, and I was livid until someone woke up.
The show was wonderful as Betty made her peace with the folks she thought had let her down. Real shock with the Alexis storyline (though I should have known better). Funny, the actor playing her lover played the recurring role of the gay boy friend on THE CLASS earlier this season.
And I still adore Justin. He only has to walk through a scene or make a quip or two and he steals the show. I thought he was hilarious sitting under that hair dryer.
-
GREY'S ANATOMY had some fascinating storylines. I knew they had to set up the Addison withdrawal for next week's pilot episode for her potential new show. Well done.
Things don't look good for Derek and Meredith (again). Ah well. I wonder whom she'll fall for next?
-
CSI had a despicable episode that took a sneering tongue-in-cheek look at a pathetic ex-boxer's death. I really hated this episode's lighthearted tone over all the attempts on the man's life. A really vile episode.
-
I'll have to see DR Cason's starring role on THE OFFICE tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it along with the other NBC comedies, and the two adventures on the CW - SMALLVILLE and SUPERNATURAL.

And worth every penny!
I can vouch for that! (and I blame Jose!)

Noah Racy is a Broadway guy, currently in Curtains. Starred in Never Gonna Dance and Tony Walton's production of Where's Charley.
Ludivine Sagnier is a gorgeous young French gal - as Francois noted in 8 Femmes and Peter Pan, and also Mr. Ozon's Swimming Pool.
Anthony Wong was in Infernal Affairs - a terrific actor.

Flipping The HD Switch - that's the title of my next novel.

I'm confused; which one is the boxer, Seka or Mia?

Well, when you name a child "Mia St. John Nude" - you can't really complain when she ends up posing somewhere.
-
For the RECORD, Dear Ones:
My page 4 post (i.e. #98) did not put "me" into Cinemascope. I had no idea what folks were talking about.
The hints about the post # didn't register, either. Just come out and tell me, "Ron, your damned graphics have the rest of us in Cinemascope...can you please reduce the size!?
And I shall happily oblige one and all.
;D
I like them big.
-
I left quite early to get over there and it was a good thing because I got very lost and ended up driving around Beverly Hills for about an hour..
DR MBarnum, I suggest you invest in a Thomas Guide and you will never have to stop and ask directions again (and interrupt those nice firemen as they're working out!) ;D It's a big thick book of LA Maps, and a bit pricey, but so worth it!
-
DR Ron, I didn't know whose graphics expanded the page, I just thought it was a funny coincidence that it was on the page where MBarnum mentioned Panorama City!
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,

DR JENNIFER!

And this is my last little quick "pop-in" for the evening. I too, (like dear DR Laura), must turn in very early to face this crappy schedule in the morning.
A lovely goodnight to all and sun-dried and lovely and studly.
And dear Esteemed BK -- my hickey still looks lovely, and I've picked out shirts that will feature it at all of my business meetings.
kiss-kiss.

Cason Murphy was indeed in the PULL UP to the school shot....some nice screen time. Didn't see him in the hallway....but it's just half time, so we may have some more shots yet.
Damn! I just got home and I missed Cason!
Does this show get rerun on another network, like some shows do?

:D LOL :D

But who would we have cast in Lost Horizon back when it was made? And who SHOULD have directed it?
Here's some choices:
Director: Robert Wise
Choreographer: Michael Bennett or Ron Field
Writer: Ernest Lehman
Score: Burt Bacharach with some new lyrics by Mr. David
Cast:
In the Peter Finch role: Richard Burton
In the Liv Ullman role: Julie Andrews
In the Bobby Van role: Tommy Rall, Bob Fosse, or Bobby Van
In the Sally Kellerman role: Jill Clayburgh or Michelle Lee or Diane Keaton
In the George Kennedy role: George Kennedy
In the Olivia Hussey role: ?
Chang: John Gielgud
High Lama: Charles Boyer or Sam Jaffe
If Sam Jaffe played the role he wouldn't have needed make-up.

DR MBarnum, I suggest you invest in a Thomas Guide and you will never have to stop and ask directions again (and interrupt those nice firemen as they're working out!) ;D It's a big thick book of LA Maps, and a bit pricey, but so worth it!
The main problem was that I forgot to take my LA map with me today. Usually I leave it in the car...but for some reason last night I took it back to my room with all the other junk that was in my rental car.

Back from a Japanese dinner. Laurie's son came with her to help out at her table also...he looks just like Huey Lewis.

I may have to leave at any second but I wanted to thank everyone for their vibes and kind thoughts.
I'm scared folks. This could be it. They are going to admit Mom into the intensive care unit. We've been here since 6 and it is now 1:46 AM.

She will have to have surgery because her heart is somehow leaking blood into her stomach. They also think she has major lung problems.
-
I've been up since 5:30 AM yesterday morning so I am starting to get pretty tired but I won't leave until I see them put her into a room.
-
Sorry but I have to go for now.
-
Danise, my best thoughts and vibes are with you and your mom. Please take care.

It should, but it doesn't.

Also, when "Black" is being using as a cultural identifier (in place of Negro, Afro-American, Colored, etc.) it is normally capialized.

Me, I am night-watching The Hotel, because they pay me for that! ;)
Great cast:

CSI had a despicable episode that took a sneering tongue-in-cheek look at a pathetic ex-boxer's death. I really hated this episode's lighthearted tone over all the attempts on the man's life. A really vile episode.
I think the juxtaposition of the light hearted tone with the very graphic replays caused the problem. Only Monty Python can pull off great guffaws and gushing blood.

I had thought for some reason that Santa Monica Blvd intersected at an angle with Sunset Blvd....evidently I was wrong and that was my first mistake.
Actually, they do intersect at an angle, in the Silver Lake area (the side of LA closer to New Jersey).
