Wow, the new topic is open but I have a whole day to catch up on! Been a taxing day, full of - well - taxes.

Whew! Finally caught up. Noticed I missed the chance to say:

And one for collards

And did anyone say; Hey Big Spider
-
Fetid fees are among my favorite dishes, but they're best served cold.
-
"And I'll bet your chest is hairy and in summer fetid with sun oil" - isn't that a (mangled) expression from the play SLOTH
-
SLOTH is of course the past tense of SLEUTH.
-
I wish everything tense were in the past.
-
PRESENT TENTS - that should be name of a movie about something, shouldn't it?
-
The minutes you crawled in the joint
I could see that you were far from extinction
A real big spider
So creepy, so repined
I really wish you'd leave because I'd like to unwind
So let me get right to the door
I don't scream like Bjork for every pest I see
Hey big spider
(I have no place to go with this, so let's say I hope it's not an ode to Miss Karen's sublet.)

• World's Tallest Fountain
Fountain Hills, Ariz.: You probably wouldn't associate over 100 million gallons of water with the Phoenix area. Yet just east of Scottsdale, you'll find the town of Fountain Hills and its claim to fame in Fountain Park Lake, the "World's Tallest Fountain." Built in 1970, it shoots 560 feet skyward for 15 minutes every hour between 9AM and 9PM daily.

Hayward, Wis.: Hayward is known for hosting the Lumberjack World Championships and the Birkebeiner cross-country ski marathon. But for a more sedate attraction, try the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum, built in 1976. Billed as a "shrine to anglers," you can spend hours taking in displays like the "Hall of Outboard Motors."

I'm up, I'm up. Well, up in the sense that I've not been asleep. A truly awful night - maybe I slept one hour. My illnesses, which are not very often, are very predictable - scratchy throat, itchy throat, then the night where it feels like I need to clear my throat every ten seconds, then directly into my chest with the coughing and congestion. If I'm lucky it will stop there, if I can just not cough too much.

Good morning, all! I slept well, but there were lots of strange dreams, all of which like Bottom's in A Midsummer Night's Dream are fading too quickly to report: perhaps it's the fact that it's 9/11 or the pizza.
It's quite gloomy here in Manhattan, rainy and gray, so perhaps it's more appropriate for the unhappiness of 9/11 memories and sorrow:
Oh, the rain comes a-pitter patter
And i'd like to remain in bed
Skies are weeping while the world is sleeping,
Troubles heaping on our head
I have a bit of time on the editorial guidelines this morning and a phone conversation with a co-worker about them. After that, a day of Brain surgery.

And my Q for Mr Kimmel, What was the cut song from CABARET? and has it been recorded?

I also slept fitfully last night and awoke this morning with an uneasy sense of dread. I'm not sure if it's because it's 9/11 or because of the enigmatic "hurricane" warning relayed by DR Ron yesterday or because of the impending disaster of the Legally Blond MTV broadcast.

Good morning!
Another bright, sunshiny day here in NC. Didn't feel particularly cool this morning when I got the newspaper, but that could be because I got too warm in the bed this morning which woke me up, and I've been feeling warm all morning. Not a fever; it just feels warm in the house.
-
Yes, I've been errant, I've been truant.
We've been busy at work.
First, we had the end of the "season". The tourists have left. The students have left.
Has my working six days a week changed? Of course not.
I've been limping for a week, after stubbing my little toe on my right foot. Nothing broken, just a lot of purple and pain. If anyone out there is into masochism, I highly reccomend stubbing your little toe.
And there's personell changes going on like crazy at work. Our store manager, Carol, is retiring today. The new manager, Mark, used to work here as one of Carol's flunkies proteges, so he knows how things are run, but it's still a change.
Meanwhile, a competiting chain is opening a store down at Fenwick Island, and something like fifteen of our employees are jumping ship for the promise of top-dollar wages. I'm staying put. For one thing, I like being in walking distance from work. For another thing, after the grand opening the competitor will doubtless cut back on everyone's hours, forcing all those who jumped ship to declare "Rats!" and try to get their old jobs back here in RB.
So it looks like I'll have plenty of work time in the near future, at least until we get those rats replaced.
So I may be e and t, or t and e, for some time in the future.

Alarm was not my intent. Sharing information that might be useful was. Of course you should go about your life as usual. But you should always be cautious. That's the lesson we learned six years ago today.
Here in the Bay Area, we are constantly exhorted to be prepared for earthquakes. It's a rare household that doesn't have a store of water, canned goods, batteries, candles, medical supplies.
Most folks in the U.S., however, don't prepare for such things. There are, however, things that can happen that might disrupt power or supplies. It's always smart to keep on hand a several-days supply of essential goods.
I truly hope nothing happens. But there are folks in high places who are worrying about their loved ones around the country and letting them know to be prepared. One of my loved ones let me know.
And that's what I intended by my post yesterday.

Maybe alarm was the wrong word, DR RLP.

... There are, however, things that can happen that might disrupt power or supplies.
Locally, a wind storn knocked down a utility pole which killed power to Rehoboth Beach.
Not to fear, the Fire/Police station had an emergency generator that kicked in.
A lightening strike then knocked out the emergency generator.
Local lawyers are still arguing over the issue of whom to sue.

It was. And I'm feeling better about it. Still a bit nervous, but there's only so much I can do right now except to keep practicing, and not let myself get overwhelmed. Friday was just one of those days where even if I wasn't perfect - or even "practically perfect" - I at least wanted to be "good". And I didn't think I was even "good" on Friday.
I realized over the weekend, that the past couple of times I've sat in the pit, I've been "distracted" by the piano parts - and, trust me, they're quite "distracting". So, now I just have to go back through the piano/conductor's score, and sort of relearn it. I just need to play what I need to play in rehearsal, and not all that extra stuff that's in the piano keyboard parts. Simplify.

One assumes from the tone of the quote that he will be going on the road. That's nice since if one works it right, one comes back from a road tour with at least enough cash that if one chooses to, one would not have to work for a while but just hustle up those auditions. Congratulations on getting your card whoever you are ;)
Hope he has a laptop so he can post from the road and regale us with stories of an actor's life.

JASON'S GOIN' ON A TOU-AH!
It's me! It's ME! IT'S MEEEEEE!!!
Sorry I've been E&T this week, but, as DR Jose so cryptically implied, I have had good reason. Friday I went in for my FIFTH audition for TheatreWorks USA, and let me tell you, the audition was disastrous. I sang a song that I've never done in an audition (without having the forethought to ask DR Jose if he would play through it with me at least once before I went in with it). The pianist gave me my starting pitch, as requested, and I began to sing in a totally different key. Which, of course, threw me off, causing me to forget which verse I was singing, so I screwed up the lyrics and ultimately broke one of the cardinal rules of auditioning - I got flustered and stopped the song and re-started. Somehow, out of that mess, I got a callback, which happened yesterday, and I just got the call this afternoon that they want me to do the tour!
I'll be playing Mr. Fezziwig/Marley's Ghost/The Ghost of Christmas Present in the TheatreWorks USA tour of A CHRISTMAS CAROL (the Gallagher/Waldrop version) starting in November. I just looked over the audition notice and found that rehearsals won't start until November 5, so I've got a couple of months to get things together.
As mentioned, by taking this tour, I will become a member of Actor's Equity Association, which has been a major goal for me since I began performing, so it's great to be fulfilling that dream...AND I'M FINALLY DOING WHAT I CAME HERE TO DO!!!
I'm really excited about all of this, and I have to say that it probably wouldn't have happened without all of you guys - especially DR Jose, who has been incredibly supportive and helpful in getting me back to auditions. Knowing that there are people who want you to succeed makes it a lot easier to go into a room and risk making a fool of yourself to realize your dreams.
And now...the Broad Way!!!

Next, I put in disc 2 of PLANET EARTH (Blu-ray) and watched two episodes.
First I watched "Deserts." I had watched all 11 episodes of the series when I first got the set, but I didn't remember much about this one. Enjoyable as all of them are.

Next, I watched "Ice Worlds" which I did remember having some beautiful cinematography. It has the same basic story as MARCH OF THE PENGUINS, of course, but with lots of other Arctic and Anarctic animals in addition.

Monday evening greetings. After working 3 hours this morning, I left to join DH Richard, his brothers, and their wives at Middletown Regional Hospital to wait while Harriet endured 4 hours of abdominal surgery. Her surgeon told us that her heart behaved quite well during the operation and that he was able to correct the GI problem and repair a lot of adhesions. She's now in recovery, so the brothers sent us home (right around the corner from the hospital) - they'll call us when she's back in her room. Her recuperation will be long, I'm sure, but she went into surgery with a "let's get on with it" attitude, which should help.
Thanks to DRs TCB and JRand for the vibes I found just now.

DR Ginny, what good news about your mother-in-law. I hope I'm that tough when I am an old woman.
Thank you, DR Laura. I have 2 great role models in my mother (almost 89) and Richard's. My aunt is another story...

Jeffrey Baird: Of course I'm here.
Cecil Flintridge: Now don't shout at me - I'm in jail.
Jeffrey Baird: Well, that's all right; we don't need you.
Cecil Flintridge: I'm in jail for battery, and I want you to get me out. I'm at the Susquehannah Street Jail . . . Susquehannah! Susquehannah - S-U-S-Q-U-Q! Q! You know, the thing you play billiards with . . . Billiards! B-I-L-L-

By the by, here's a list of some of the states the tour will be playing. I'll have a more detailed itinerary once I get the contract. There are two companies of the show going out...I'm assuming they're dividing us up into the northern and southern regions...
NY, PA, MD, CT, RI, VA, NJ, MO, FL, TN, SC, NC, MI, GA, OH
Darn, no Washington.

Brazilian baritone Paulo Szot will play Emil deBecque at Lincoln Center. I am so thrilled it's a legit baritone and not the ersatz Brian Stokes Mitchell.

I wonder if the spider got Tomovoz? Maybe Tomovoz is standing on a chair. I know I would be.

Eunice: "What are you doing with those rocks? Those are Howard Bannister's rocks!"
Howard: "Love means never having to say you're sorry."
Judy: "That is the dumbest thing I ever heard."
I kept saying that after we walked out of LOVE STORY, so of course I thought it was great in WHATS UP DOC. ;D

Here is what I'd expect DR Jane to order up for TCB:
As long as it isn't for me. ;D

"What do they think I am? Dumb or something? Why, I make more money than... than... than Calvin Coolidge! Put together!"

?HIS room??!?
That spider already has its own room?
Time to break out a can of heavy-duty Raid!
I don't like them sipers either...
-
Has that thing been walking around on the ceiling all day/night?
indeed it has DearReader Laura.
It has travelled through two rooms to get to its current position.
-
If I were to be standing on a chair Laura, I would be much closer to my furry legged companion.
-
What are you doing to do about it? Trap it in a trash can and put it outside? Open a window and herd it out?
-
If I were to be standing on a chair Laura, I would be much closer to my furry legged companion.
I thought perhaps it crawled down the wall near the computer.
-
Thankfully, we don't get big spiders like that here. In the house anyway. We do get black widows, but they are small.
-
I'm about to leave the house for a while. When I return I may encourage the spider to go outside and back to his (probably) larger family!
-
I shall either trap it or encourage it to jump on to a broom! I hope not to kill it.
-
I associate black widows with Zorba the Greek.
-
If that spider was in my house, I'd be checking into a motel for the night.
-
I wonder if DR Sandra has any amusing stories about her day-long bus ride yesterday.
-
If that spider was in my house, I'd be checking into a motel for the night.
Awww....from the looks of him, he could keep your feet warm.

Back from rehearsal. We worked various scenes and numbers, then lunched (it was pouring at lunch time), then did a pretty okay run-through. Actually, the show ran really smoothly - we just all have to get back in the rhythm of it now. It's always fresher and funnier when you're first figuring things out, and then you just have to find that funny and fresh and figure out how to keep it from performance to performance. Today's highlight were the General's scenes - VERY funny.

Good Evening!
Back from a Congratulatory dinner with DR Jason. We supped at Eatery. Good food, and some cute actors moonlighting as waiters. Some of them were even reviewing a dance combination in the corner. ;)

How did you out the spider?
What I want to know is how did you know??

bk - J&R discounts basically everything they sell at the stores down by City Hall. Well worth the trip. However, I believe it's almost time for the annual(?) Criterion sale at Virgin, so... ??? -Border's also runs a Criterion sale from time to time. -And Amazon.com, of course.

There has been a lot of discussion over at the listserv about this wonderful CLIP (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6q7RCAcaBk) of a section of Bernstein's "Dance at the Gym" from the Proms. Performed by Orquesta Juvenil Simón Bolivar. I think Lenny would have approved.

Favorite lines from A Christmas Story (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085334/)[/i][/b]:
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Aunt Clara had for years labored under the delusion that I was not only perpetually 4 years old, but also a girl.
***
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] My father worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium, a master.
***
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] In the heat of battle my father wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan.
***
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. Though my personal preference was for Lux, I found that Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heavy, but with a touch of mellow smoothness. Life Buoy, on the other hand... YECCHH!
***
Ralphie: I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle!
Mrs. Parker: No, you'll shoot your eye out.
***
[Ralphie is visiting Santa at the department store, only he can't remember what he wanted]
Santa Claus: How about a nice football?
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Football? Football? What's a football? With unconscious will my voice squeaked out 'football'.
Santa Claus: Okay, get him out of here.
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] A football? Oh no, what was I doing? Wake up, Stupid! Wake up!
Ralphie: [Ralphie is shoved down the slide, but he stops himself and climbs back up] No! No! I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!
Santa Claus: You'll shoot your eye out, kid.
***
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating, after BB gun shot bounces off target and hits his face] Oh my god, I shot my eye out!

They must have had enough waiters to perform Jack's "ballet" service this evening.

Something to do with the sideways walk DR George. You have to bat for our team to carry that off!
Thank you DR BlackBelt. I do think the image would be quite frightening for some.
-
DearReader Laura: the journey to the outside world was taken within the confines of a plastic container (WITH A LID). My journey was outside the container.
-
And I'm telling you, them spidy-legs is quick!
-
I am glad the spider was removed without incident.
I assume there was no incident?
-
But I do NOT advocate popping them into pies.
-
Although I don't doubt that somewhere in the world, this is considered a delicacy.

Jason, CONGRATULATIONS! You have truly worked hard for this moment. I can't express how happy I am for you. May getting your card be the first of many, many successes in your career.
-
DR Singdaw, you seem to have no room left in your mailbox.
I've heard it is always filled.
-
Thank you, DR Laura. I have 2 great role models in my mother (almost 89) and Richard's.
You are very lucky, and they are both lucky to have such a loving family.
Four hours! My father had a couple of surgeries for obstructions, neither lasted nearly as long. Did the doctors expect it to be so complicated?
SPEEDY RECOVERY VIBES FOR DH RICHARD'S MOTHER!
-
I kept saying that after we walked out of LOVE STORY, so of course I thought it was great in WHATS UP DOC. ;D
LOL-I didn't mean we walked out of the middle of the movie, even if I was bored. I meant at the end of the movie, when we left with the rest of the audience.
-
Thankfully, we don't get big spiders like that here. In the house anyway. We do get black widows, but they are small.
And you would rather have a black widow in your house! ??? ;D
-
You are very lucky, and they are both lucky to have such a loving family.
We are, and hope they feel the same!
Four hours! My father had a couple of surgeries for obstructions, neither lasted nearly as long. Did the doctors expect it to be so complicated?
No, the surgeon said this type of thing usually takes about an hour, but also said her insides looked like someone had poured Elmer's glue all over them :P
SPEEDY RECOVERY VIBES FOR DH RICHARD'S MOTHER!
Thank you!

We just came from checking in at the hospital. Harriet's still in recovery, because they don't have the right kind of room available in CCU. She will spend the night in recovery, which is fine with us, because she pretty much has private nursing there.
-
I was hoping to nap but it didn't happen. I think I'll go take a walk and get some Ny-Quil - that might help me sleep.

Frankly, I have no idea what I would do with either one!

DR Ginny, did they let you into recovery to see Harriet? I hope she never has to go through this again.

Tomovoz-
A Hearty Welcome Back
-
Thanks, DR George!
DR Jane, yes anyone who wanted to don scrubs was allowed to go in. Richard and I chose to defer to the out-of-town brother and his wife - we'll have more frequent opportunities to see her in the days to come. And she won't remember anything from tonight anyway.
-
Jane, you will be happy to hear that I went back to my physical therapist today, and he was royally pissed. He said there is no way that the surgeon looked at my MRI films or the radiologist's report, and came away believing all I needed was a cortisone shot. He said, "I believe the surgeon was just too busy, he based his diagnosis on the x-rays that he took that day, and he basically blew you off."
He will be calling the surgeon tomorrow.
-
Thank you Mr Brockman SNR. A pleasure to see your smiling face on here after all these years.

-
How did you out the spider?
Took it to a bar of questionable repute, and it headed straight (so to speak) to the "back room."
Played some Streisand and Minnelli and watched the spider dance delightedly.
Promised to take it to SPLASH in NYC some Monday night.
-
What I want to know is how did you know??
;)
The spider was hanging out around the George Michael cds.

Oooo, wouldn't you like to be listening in on that conversation?!
;D ;D I know I want to! I think he should also call your primary physician who has also let you down.
TCB, I am very pleased to hear this. Has the therapist seen the report for the MRI & the x-rays? How did he come to his conclusion. Does he still recommend you continue with your therapy?

DR Ginny, today my book group read WATER FOR ELEPHANTS by Sara Gruen. The vote was unanimous, we all thought it was fantastic & beautifully written. I highly suggest it for your group, at least to read if not to discuss.

I thought an MRI can show more than a flat x-ray. If there is some doubt between the two can a CAT-SCAN be done? The detail on Sherlock's 3D scan was amazing, but that was on bones so it could be different. I'm not a doctor either, just a Nursie which isn't a real nurse.

Jane, I'm married to the dutiful middle son who has been the first responder for his parents' medical emergencies since they were younger than we are now. The younger brother lives about 50 miles away and appears only when absolutely necessary. The older brother is closer, about 5 miles away. He blusters about, but Richard is the level head and the one whose phone number is first on the "who you gonna call" list.

DR Ginny, what good news about your mother-in-law. I hope I'm that tough when I am an old woman.
You are Laura, you are.

Laura is an old woman?

She turned me into a newt!!!

I still cannot beleive you stood there and took pictures of that thing... that you slept inthe same house as it!!!
You're a better man than I, Gunga Din!!

How did you out the spider?
Showed him pictures of his nights with Michael Barnum.
-
Some years ago I taught in a school with a female Principal who lived alone. She would call the local police to remove the spiders for her.
She was a single woman (ex airforce) and seemingly strong and independent. She had taught me music when I was 13.
-
DR Vixmom - I do not by choice sleep in the same room as one of those critters. Sometimes you wake to see one on the bedroom wall and get to wonder how long it has been there - and where it has walked (and over what) during your sleep.
-
What I want to know is how did you know??
;)
Very good, GEORGE. ;D
-
What do we do?
We die.
-
DR Vixmom - I do not by choice sleep in the same room as one of those critters. Sometimes you wake to see one on the bedroom wall and get to wonder how long it has been there - and where it has walked (and over what) during your sleep.
See now there is a very basic difference between you and me...
You wake up to see a humongous spider on the wall and fall into a revery, imagining its midnight wanderings and journeys through the starlit night
I, on the other hand, scream like a banshee and jump out the window
-
I'm enjoying listening to the 4 cd set "Young Tony". Mr Bennett's recordings in the fifties are a delight.

Terrific. I'm about to get killed a million miles from nowhere, with a gung-ho iguana who tells me to relax.

Congratulations DR Jason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read somewhere that the average person swallows, while sleeping, seven or eight spiders during their lifetime. Hopefully not that kind of spider.

A short lifetime!

I've missed out on sending good wishes to Ginny's MiL etc. I hope all and the sun dried have satisfactory outcomes in these difficult times. (I admit I have not, and will not, check up on eight days of missed posts).
GOOD VIBES ACROSS THE PACIFIC TO ALL THOSE IN NEED.

Them there mini spiders were too young to leave their mothers MBarnum.
No wonder they were angry.
-
Oh, the cleverness of me!
Hook: If I were you, I'd give up!
"Pan: If you were me... I'd be ugly.
Wendy: Where do you live?
Peter: Second to the right, and then straight on till morning.
Wendy: They put that on the letters?
Peter: Don't get any letters.
Wendy: But your mother gets letters.
Peter: Don't have a mother.
Wendy: No wonder you were crying.
Peter: I wasn't crying about mothers. I was crying because I can't get my shadow to stick. And I wasn't crying!
-
Surely you can't be serious.
I am serious, and don't call me Shirley

I read somewhere that the average person swallows, while sleeping, seven or eight spiders during their lifetime. Hopefully not that kind of spider.
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Now I am going to have to sleep with bandanna tied around my mouth
-
This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
A hospital--what is it?
It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.
-
Jane - I have been very remiss, in all our family turmoil, in neglecting to congratulate your son on his acceptance to medical school - how 'bout University of Cincinnati? Or Wright State? Or Michigan?
Oh yeah, Ginny, everybody wants to go to Michigan this Fall.

BK, I sent Andrew Bowen who used to do a mean Keanu Reeves impersonation on MAD TV, a blurb about "The Brain" and I mentioned that I should have thought of him two months ago when casting was beginning. He just wrote back and said that he wished I had. He wants to do a musical again.
-
There's no crying in baseball!!!
-
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Now I am going to have to sleep with bandanna tied around my mouth
I'm sorry! It may be more than seven or eight. Maybe it was twenty.

Now I won't ever be able to sleep again.... hmmm maybe Jason can lend his sleep apnea mask thingie... that should keep 'em away!!!

I would be more than happy to write him one!
Nyah nyah, I got first dibs
-
I would be more than happy to write him one!
Maybe I should write KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN for him.

The night was sultry.

And you would rather have a black widow in your house! ??? ;D
Oh, yes. One spritz of Spray & Wash, and they run off, shrivel up, and die.
They are only the size of a coin, so they are well within the range of a rolled-up newspaper.
Those huntsmen spiders -- way too big for a rolled up newspaper.
-
Oh yeah, Ginny, everybody wants to go to Michigan this Fall.
Someone like a new defensive coordinator?
-
Thank you, DR Tomovoz, and welcome back.
-
Well I must go don my suit of armor, and spray my bedroom with insecticide in preparation for the nights "rest"
Thanks a lot TCB!
-
but I still hope your shoulder feels better in the morning
-
Oh so close to 8600... should I make my next plateau befoer I leave?
-
After all nothing awaits me a but a night of sleepless worry whilst trying to clamp my mouth tightly shut
-
As you may have guessed, I am not all that good at keeping my mouth shut
-
Jane - I have been very remiss, in all our family turmoil, in neglecting to congratulate your son on his acceptance to medical school - how 'bout University of Cincinnati? Or Wright State? Or Michigan?
I wish! He just did extremely well on his exams. Getting into a school is another thing. He didn't apply to Michigan. Most schools give priority to in state students, except OSHU in Oregon, just his luck.
The majority of schools he has applied to have sent him a second application to be completed. He hasn't heard from Oregon, hopefully that will come soon.
Keep those vibes coming:D

Good Evening!
Well... A few hours of practicing later...
Getting better. Slowly, but surely.

DR Ginny, today my book group read WATER FOR ELEPHANTS by Sara Gruen. The vote was unanimous, we all thought it was fantastic & beautifully written. I highly suggest it for your group, at least to read if not to discuss.
I really liked it too. I was sorry to see it end. That's my idea of a good read.
-
DR vixmom - So, I take it you don't like spiders?
;D
-
When I'm good, I'm very, very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better
-
"Give me a visky, ginger ale on de side, and don't be stingy, baby."

Guess what - I lay down on the bed and was out like a light for about forty minutes. Now, if that can only happen in about a half-hour and get me through the night, I'll be one happy Jew.
-
I began my evening of viewing by watching last night's SAVING GRACE. Not really a mystery, more a crime drama though there was an emphasis on drama as Grace did take a bullet to the chest. I prefer mystery plots, however.
-
DR vixmom - So, I take it you don't like spiders?
;D
Laura, Mike and I are going to form the HHW Society for the Erratication of Arachnoids... the SEA

Bats eat mosquitos, maybe they would also eat the spiders...wouldn't that be fun spiders and bats!
-
Siders!!!
-
Next, I watched PAN'S LABYRINTH which I had the DVR pick up from one of the HBO channels. I didn't see it in theaters nor on DVD, so this was my first experience. A very brutal film, surprisingly so, but the magical elements were certainly awesome to behold and in the main, I did find it worth the over 2 hour running time (I think it could have been shortened somewhat to its benefit).
-
OK I am off to bed.... really...
I'm going now.
Don't try to stop me
anti spider vibes would be nice though
-
"Stop. Let me gaze my fill of you."
-
Aunt Penniman: Oh can you be so cruel?
Catherine: Yes, I can be very cruel. I have been taught by masters.
-
I need to try to get some sleep. With this new cold, I have a feeling that I won't be getting much sleep tonight. I hope I can find some of my night time cold medicine, that would do the trick....

I remember DR CP mentioning Mr Gaunt when he saw him....and I was happy to hear he was still going strong.
I can recommend THE CHAMPIONS if anyone is looking for a nice 60's adventure series.....
-
Waiting for my TV program to come on, I watched the last 25 minutes of a LAW & ORDER from the (lesbian) Serina years. Good case about the husband of a surrogate mother who killed the man who wanted the baby and had hired them to carry it.
-
Watch HSN, DR CILLA LIZ....that always does it for me....that or LIFETIME.
-
a web of peaceful sleep vibes for DR Vixmom.

I did check out AS THE WORLD TURNS. No gay storyline today, and it doesn't appear to be on tomorrow or Thursday (if the cable guide is any indication).
-
...One of the things I remember from my one and only trip to the Philippines when I was six-years old... "Be sure to sleep with your mouth closed. You don't want the cockroaches crawling in there."

Tonight's DAMAGES was again full of exciting and surprising twists and turns. This show actually has two cases going: the litigation case again Frobisher (Ted Danson) and a murder case with the show's ingenue as the person arrested for her lover's murder.
-
If that spider was in my house, I'd be checking into a motel for the night.
Good thought - best way to get rid of spider fears is to check into the Bates' Motel and take a shower.

Doctor: "The mother can see the child now."
Susan: "They have to let me go in....they have to, Mother."
Her Mother: "But, darling....."
Fiancee: "You heard the doctor, only his mother can go in."
Susan: "Don't you see....Rogie isn't my brother....he's my son!!!"

We took Sherlock outside for a romp in the sprinklers. He had a very good time.
Which Holmes movie is this from?

-
Thank you all for your congrats! I'm very excited.
I got an email from the casting director today and I have a tentative itinerary. It looks like I will be in Indiana at least twice, though I'm not sure where...and I think we have three or four days in Ohio. Again, I don't know what cities...
DR Jane: I've heard really great things about "Water for Elephants." A couple of friends just read it and really loved it...
-

The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes.....of course. 8)

I shall watch the newspapers, DR JASON!!

Tell 'em we said "Sayonara"!

Jason, will you get to tour to your home state?

I wish! He just did extremely well on his exams. Getting into a school is another thing. He didn't apply to Michigan. Most schools give priority to in state students, except OSHU in Oregon, just his luck.

Well, tomorrow will be another Poppins-filled for me, and since I want to get another hour or two of practice in in the morning...
Goodnight.

I did want to get that last one in before midnight.
And now I'm heading down for bed.
Good night!
-
Well, I'm finally leaving work. Until later. :)
-
wow, page 20, it's been a while since we have seen you!

What a lovely day of posting. I feel that soon we will be the most popular site on all the Internet.

Goodnights where appropriate.
