I know you've had Brain on the brain but DR Arnold Brockman has been listing a song of the day for the past two weeks or so I think!
-
When I Fall in Love:
Nat King Cole
Brook Benton
Linda Ronstadt
The Carpenters.
-
The Carpenters version is good also...
-
Regretfully, I am not familiar with Nat King Cole's version.
-
Nat King Cole's version is the one playing on my head....
-
I do a terrific "When I Fall In Love" too, but nobody cares!!
-
Could someone tell Céline Dion that "less" can be "better"?!
-- I know, she won't care!
-
Nat King Cole's version is the one playing on my head....
Not enough room?! ;)
-
"... it will be for ever!"!!!
-- what a bunch of cr*p!!
-
BTW, forgot to mention, DBF and I did watch BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN tonight.
-
I do a terrific "When I Fall In Love" too, but nobody cares!!
Send me a CD and I'll play it for everybody!!!
-
Not enough room?! ;)
I like the voices in my head to speak/sing one at a time so I can give them my full attention
;D
-
"... it will be for ever!"!!!
-- what a bunch of cr*p!!
No , no, François , the lyrics go like this....
When I fall in love,
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love.
In a restless world like this is,
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.
When I give my heart,
It will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart.
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way, too,
Is when I fall in love with you.
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way, too,
Is when I fall in love with you.
-
the voices in my head are telling me to go to bed.... goodnight all!!
-
I only noticed it yesterday, and I liked the idea as a companion to the word of the day. I used to do this all the time when The Real A was doing One From Column A.
-
I have rather enjoyed the idea also...
A few of the songs actually forced me to go and look them up.

I hope everything falls into place for your fundraiser, bk.

Is BK ghosting on All That Chat:
I was surprised to see a display ad in yesterday's NY Times (theatre ABC's page) for ROLLER DERBY. I had thought that all NYMF shows had, on account of AEA showcase agreement or other requirement, a rather negligible budget limit that would generally preclude expensive advertising.
I also noted the lovely color/glossy "playbill" that was distributed at this show.
Perhaps presenting it at the Ailey Dance Center liberates the producers from the financial constraints all other NYMF shows must live with.
Just wonderin'...

Last night I attended a delightful performance of our very own PennyO's show "Jewish Thighs on Broadway"...in North Bend, WA! A couple of weeks ago, she PM'd me and said this: "I'm doing the "family version" which means most of the really dark stuff - and the 'brief partial nudity' are OUT - replaced by a couple of extra songs." No partial nudity? Well, let me tell you that it wasn't needed! She was wonderful! And her accompanist was her very first accompanist when she did the show for the very first time seven years ago. He was very good, as well.
(http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t127/georged55/PennyOsJewishThighsinNorthBend.png)

It's basically a fictional account of her life...her ups and downs in the bizness of show. I got to see her before the show started and chatted with her afterwards. Here are a couple of pictures. If you're only used to her avatar with her short hair, it's much longer now:
(http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t127/georged55/Pennyglamorous.jpg)
-
After the show, she had copies of her book available for purchase and she had posters for signing, too. One fan brought her some beautiful roses, but she's leaving for California in the morning and didn't really have any place to put them, so she gave them to me (I've got them in water now). I took a picture of her with them (I love this picture):

Here's a close-up of the big rose...the picture doesn't do it justice! It really is a beautiful flower!
(http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t127/georged55/Pennysroseupclose.jpg)

And finally, after I took the two pictures of Penny, she thought that one of them could be a new avatar, so here they are...we'll see which one she chooses!

NEW YORK BRACES FOR CONTROVERSIAL VISIT OF IRANIAN PRESIDENT MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,297712,00.html)
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrives in New York Sunday amid a firestorm of controversy surrounding his visit to the United States.
Ahmadinejad, who has called the Holocaust "a myth," encouraged the destruction of Israel and supported terrorists in Iraq, will address the United Nations General Assembly and a Columbia University forum but will not be allowed to tour Ground Zero.
I am not one to be surprised by the expected. At least his assassination (surely at least an attempt) will bump OJ off of the news channels.

Good morning, all! I slept late because I will get next to no sleep until I finish the Plaza job beginning this evening. Before the taping session at 1 today, I will go through the piece again, looking for possible cuts and maybe rewriting the ending. I already have tickets for the 4:30 performance of THE PIPER at St Clements, and I will be seeing the show with my beloved Donna Lynne Champlin. It should be fun.
I was indeed surprised to see Mr Coughlin's name attached to EVER AFTER; as DR Jose can attest, I really wanted the job, because I like Marcy and Zina's work and I really liked the film. Clearly, someone involved decided otherwise. Yep, fuckem.

Good morning!
It was cooler than they forecast this morning, so I did fling open the doors and windows for a spell, but it has heated up quickly, so now the house if locked up tight and A/C back on (though it hasn't flipped on yet). Supposed to be 90 today. Got to 91 yesterday. Boo!
-
I'm up, I'm up. I think it's swell that it was only in the 80s the other day when the sign in front of my eyes clearly said 90. Clearly someone was trying to gaslight me.
-
I spent part of the morning diving into the DVD set of WHAT ABOUT BRIAN. I watched two episodes, and I have to say so far I'm not a fan. I don't like the married/engaged couples much at all, and I don't like their condescending treatment of Brian's love life.
I don't find the writing very engaging either. It's not witty enough (shows like GREY'S ANATOMY and BROTHERS & SISTERS put the writing in this to shame).
True, I've only seen two episodes. Maybe the show gets more on track later. I'll find out as I'll be watching more episodes most of the day.
-
I'll get ready shortly and head over to the flea market - not anticipating spending much time there.
-
COLD CASE does have its season premiere tonight, so I'll likely pause the BRIAN episodes for at least an hour to watch it.
Tomorrow, season premieres begin for real for many shows.
-
No, I am not the "ghost" on talkin' broadway - people are not very happy with Roller Derby and its abuse of NYMF rules - NYMF should remove the rules or call Roller Derby a special event, because they were NOT under the same constraints as all the other NYMF shows.

Tomorrow I'm expecting the new Platinum Editon of THE JUNGLE BOOK and Gus Van Sant's MALA NOCHE in a new Criterion edition.
So, with those discs, the new TV season, and the Mickey-Judy box arriving later in the week, I'm going to be one busy bee.

Maybe I'll just let Mr. Brockman continue to do the song of the day.

Actually the official temperatures are most likely from airport weather stations. In large urban land masses like Manhattan, you will regularly get hotter temps at ground level in the "urban canyons" - so your sign and the "official" temperatures could be quite different. I suspect the gas station sign more accurately reflects the comfort index than does the Weather bureau's official figures.

MMM has resurrected the "Robinson Crusoe on Mars" debate at FSM Message Board.
I don't see why he shouldn't have started a thread for Robinson Crusoe on Mars, as we were left in limbo about what John Morgan was going to report from Fred Steiner.
But when I read one of his subsequent posts - contradicting John Morgan whom he himself asked to look into the matter - about not believing what Steiner would say if it didn't corraborate what MMM thought... I admit I had to shake my head.
There's also someone named Glen Holland who brought up the Steiner/Van Cleave connection on the Non-Film Discussion Board... who interviewed Steiner aobut Van Cleave... but didn't answer my question about Steiner's involvement. Perhaps he'll see the new thread and give his opinion there.

IOWA to get a Christmas caucus?
ASSOCIATED PRESS (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,297727,00.html)
Florida Democrats Sticking to Early Presidential Primary
The Florida Democratic Party will stick with a Jan. 29 presidential primary even if it means losing all its nominating convention delegates, a party source said Saturday.
The Democratic National Committee gave the state party until Sept. 29 to come up with an alternative delegate selection plan to stay within party rules, such as caucuses or a vote-by-mail primary, but party leadership has rejected that idea.
...
Michigan has scheduled a Jan. 15 primary.
So, as it now stands. two major states will lose all of their Democrat delegates (and half their Republican delegates) and IOWA will be ringing in sometime in December.
Why do I think we're going to have some legal challenges?

HOME, SMART HOME: HOW TO TALK TO YOUR HOUSE (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,224060,00.html)
What do Heidi Klum, Matt Damon and Bill Gates have in common? They talk to their houses ... and receive pretty efficient replies.
Imagine leaving work and instructing your cell phone to turn up the heat so your home is warm for your arrival. Imagine sitting in a business meeting and using your phone to doublecheck that you turned off the iron. You can even speak to your refrigerator and request a glass of bubbly.
This is no longer a dream for futurists. This is the latest in smart homes.
…
Another bonus is that the smart house can even send messages, warning homeowners that a light bulb is about to blow or that the refrigerator is almost out of milk.

And for trucks, we'll add a barcode scanner so merchandise can be scanned in and out and dispatchers at a central location will be able to track individual packages. I even put together a neat Power Point presentation to give to our VP.
The result - not interested, no real market need!
So I went back to steering nuclear missiles!

Yes thanks to DR GEORGE for the DR PENNYO photos and the photos of the lovely roses.

3D - Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were kidding around.
I get very sensitive during rehearsals. Please be patient with me, and please use smilies very liberally. :) :)

Hmm, if I got busy today, I could probably reach my next plateau! Of course, I would probably end up with finger burn; and I could do more damage to my shoulder. However, according to the surgeons there isn't that much wrong with it anyway.

Back from the Flea Market, which was a bit different than I was expecting, and some lunch.

Working in engineering one sees lots of potential projects--and sooo many of them never get funded and brought to fruition. I suspect lots of senior managers are kicking themselves for not having the vision that others have.

YES DR MattH, it was me who was a fan of WHAT ABOUT BRIAN.
But i must say the show changed a lot from the first episode till the end.
It was like a totally different show.
I can't remember how many different hiatus/breaks they had. But by the end the show was a lot better.
Btw tonight apparently they are showing recap episodes of both DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and BRTOTHERS & SISTERS. I think i will record them both to see if they show anything interesting.
-
I love the broadway flea market. Can anyone who went describe what it was like this year and what they were selling.
-
I forget if i mentioned this. But i watched the new CW show GOSSIP GIRL (is that the exact title?).
Did anybody else see it (it's on tuesdays in canada and wednesdays in the US)?
I really liked it.
Kristen Bell (VERONICA MARS) is the voice of Gossip Girl. And i love her (even if it's just her voice).
It's sort of THE OC meets ONE TREE HILL. But it shows every teen with their blackberries and cell phones. aNd it's quite cute.
I wasn't really expecting to like it that much. and i'm not sure if it's too girly for other DRs. But just thought i'd share.
-
Probably nobody here is watching the Red Sox vs Devil Rays on TV... but I keep seeing a commercial for ATT&T with an actor, middle-aged, with a moustache. Last line is "Monty, what's up."
I recognize the actor, I know I've seen him in something, but I can't place his name.
Anybody recognize this commercial?
-
Hello all and sun-dried....
I just thought I'd pop in for a minute and share a few pics of the mornings "Ladybird Johnson" enterprise and work. This first picture is of the miniature Bird of Paradise plant that has been in a container up til now. It now resides in my front entry-courtyard under the window of my breakfast room
-
And here is the plant in relation to the front door to my house... :D
-
.....Oh my God.... a new plant, and a new front entry,......
and a new page !! Hi Six.....how's tricks?......
;D
-
And now I must food......... I must hunt and gather and forage.....
I'm very primal for a Sunday ! :)

Lovely pictures, MusicGuy!

Who knew he had a girlfriend?
Don't you hate it when that happens?

Good morning. It's hot here, the sign down the street says it's 90....no really, I'm not kidding about this or teasing anyone, the sign down the street says it's 90.
-
Well, it is about time we got some pix of the new home environment, DR Musicguy!
Have you found any use for the movie materials in the new home?
-
Beautiful pictures MusicGuy!
-
It is cloudy and cool, with the sun sometimes peaking out, here in the mid-Willamette Valley and Dog Bosco and I are going to a bar-b-que in Keizer.
-
I was going to spend today at the office and even went there for a short time, but there are so many things I need to do at the house, and I want to spend time with the girls before I leave, so I'm home. I wanted to "catch-up" on the time I lost with everything this month, but I've changed my mind. I'm writing this off as a down month, taking care of things at the house today, working until Thursday noon and then heading to Omaha and off to NYC. I can't wait
-
I'm back from the Flea Market. It was much the same. Lots of people and hard to move around but it was fun. I saw some friends, including the lovely Mr. Bruce Kimmel. I finally met the even lovlier Miss Adriana Patti who was carousing with Mr. Kimmel. We chatted for a few and then I was off and Bruce was off and now I'm home.
It's a beautful first day of fall in New York and it's supposed to stay like this for the rest of the week. Now I need a short nap before I begin to make a meat loaf for dinner.
Later, gaters.

Y'all may remember that back on August 15 I won my first eBay auction item. It finally arrived yesterday, more than a month later. I've been emailing the seller and checking at the PO. Apparently, she shipped it promptly and it got lost and was finally returned to her. Anyway, it arrived safely and I'm pleased.
I won an eBay auction more than a month ago. The item was an $11 cell phone charger (with shipping). I received an e-mail saying that it was shipped, but I never got it. I sent the seller THREE e-mails but I didn't get any response. I opened a dispute through Paypal, but I STILL haven't had any other response from the seller. How rude! >:(
-
George, beautiful pictures of PennyO. The rose a fan gave her is gorgeous.
Thanks! The rose is not only gorgeous, it's huge!
-
Yes thanks to DR GEORGE for the DR PENNYO photos and the photos of the lovely roses.
I'm glad you like them. :)

Matt-The War will be out on DVD on October 2.
Thanks so much for the info!

I hope it gets better. I'm up to episode 9, and I find the show irritating and not very likable. And it looks like they're kiling off the most inoffensive and endearing character, Rosanna Arquette's actor husband. (I think that happens in episode #9 which I'll start later.)
-
It is very hot and humid today, beautiful if one is into outdoor activities, but it's SO dry here. We've had just a sprinkling of rain in the past two months, and it's really dry and brown, and it seems to makeit seem hotter seeing how dry everything is.
-
As I was saying to DR Jennifer, I'm up to episode #9 now in WHAT ABOUT BRIAN. After the first season (5 episodes), it looks like the producers re-thought the show. The show titles are now al"What about . . . . " instead of the generic titles from the first season. Brian was made scruffier. There's a lot more angst and people breaking up and making up - even worse than on GREY'S ANATOMY.
I can see why the show never really caught on. The people just aren't likable enough and the characters aren't individualistic enough to make a real impression. I'm not invested in their stories. I also felt ZERO chemistry with either of actress Sarah Lancaster's two loves Brian or Adam.
But I will watch every episode. I noticed that there is one special feature about Season 3, what was planned for the next season had the show gotten a renewal. That should prove interesting once I finshed the episodes they did film.
-
The flea market - I don't know what I was expecting, but I didn't really see any really rare items other than thousands of playbills. There were tables hawking the most current shows and their signed posters and playbills, and there were quite a few used CDs, although nothing that interesting. I was hoping to see more things like show jackets and such, but they were few and far between or else they'd already sold.
The Entertainment Weekly table was, for me, the best, as it was just one box after another of new DVDs all cheaply priced. I got the new Viva Las Vegas DVD, along with The Witchfinder General, the new Taxi Driver SE (as opposed to the old Taxi Driver SE - do they never stop?), and Jack Hill's Spider Baby.
The only people I ran into that I knew were Ben, Seth Rudetsky, and photographer Bruce Glickhaus, who was working the EW booth. It was very crowded, although not as crowded as I thought it would be. There were some interesting silent auction items, too.
-
I also listened to the audio commentary for the pilot by the show's creator Dana Stevens. They shot the pilot THREE times trying to get it right. Obviously, the show was on shaky ground from the get-go. I think when you haven't created characters that hook you quickly, it's a lost cause.
-
I'm off to my sister's house to put up some new light fixtures. Have a good day, all. :)
-
And The Song Of The Day Is: YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE
and most of the world thinks it is only a song from Gerry & The Pacemakers - an English football anthem.
-
I will go back to BRIAN when I go back downstairs, but I will take an hour break at 9 for COLD CASE in HD. It will be nice to see an entire show in HD, the first full new show episode since I got the new set. What a treat!
-
I'm off to my sister's house to put up some new light fixtures. Have a good day, all. :)
When you get finished there, please drop by my place. I have some trac lighting I want to put up over my stove. Thanks! :D

I'm going through the script to get it ready for the sound and lighting cues people. I guess the show is really frozen for the Friday opening at this point, except maybe for a word or two here or there.

DP Colin and I watched "The Court Jester" last night. I'm so pleased that I can still find silly so funny. (of course this site has helped).

Well, my DM MissKaren is here in the City safe and sound. Her flight - and ensuing cab ride - were uneventful and she is now perusing her chocolates.
-
not pursuing her chocolates - following a trail of wrappers?

Thank you Mr. ovoz I am having a nice, quiet day. The Czar and the Lady were sleeping in the recliner with me, until I had the nerve to cheer a Seattle Seahawks' touchdown.
-

No, no, luckily I've been good and hid them away to where I had forgotten about them until she just asked where they were. :)

Well his mother is there now, so is this still a real day off ;)
-
I have been doing absolutely nothing - and I love it. Today, I woke up, had a pancake, showered, got back in my pajamas and fell asleep reading until my mom got in here.
I am still shaking off the last remnants of a cold I had caught last week that had been circulating through our cast for a while, so these days off have been particularly nice for dealing with that.
BJ has wandered off to explore the city and take some pictures for his girlfriend and DOLABC (Dear Original LA Brain Castmember) Svetlana.

I have had the weirdest thing happen. I went to print my NYMF tickets - I may have printed them once, but I can't find them. So when I went to print them again.. it says I have 2 tickets for Starfighter and that looks fine, and two tickets for Brain....but the etickets say "deleted" on them. What??? So I called and was told that it says "deleted" but the computer says I still have the reservation so I should just ignore that. I am a bit concerned, but don't really know what else I can do about it.
-
Did Miss Karen get the two dozen long-stemmed white roses that I sent? Oh, probably not. I really should stop ordering flowers from St. Vincent de Paul.
Remember, Miss Karen, it is the thought that counts.
-
TCB - she says "Har, har, har!"
-
Hi DR Cason.....I send you good vibes for your cold completely clearing up and you being 100 %.
And tell that traveling gypsy woman who is masquerading as your mother that I said a big "Hi" to her. Hopefully we'll all see each other on Wednesday.
Don't know if the lovely Ms Karen would be interested in a mid-afternoon snack at The Little Pie Company around 3:00 ??
To quote the ever-wise DR Jose, ......"hmmmmmm",.......
-
Say hello to Miss Karen for me.
-
She says hello to you two boys.
-
MusicGuy - she just queried to know if The Little Pie Company is close to the reservoir... ::)
I'm looking forward to see you this coming week, sir!
-
BK - I think we may be meeting up with Jose here shortly to figure out dinner plans, are you up for a little dining adventure this evening?
-
Cameras on the NYC action por favor.
-
Let me know where and I'll see if I can raise myself from my chair.
-
Very warm here as well.....but we did a brisk business in spirit pictures....probably because I was doing them for free instead of $5.
-
Spider Baby.....spider baby.....spider baby.
-
Wow DR MISSKAREN is in the Big Apple!!!
And DRs CILLA LIZ and GINNY are headed that way as well.....the entire country will be out of balance...again.
-
So....is "Step In Time" as much fun onstage as it is in the movie?
-
Cameras on the NYC action por favor.
Just for you JRand - I'll bring mine out tonight!
-
Her ensuing cab ride? So she's trying to get her flowers by hiring a cab driver to sue for them - well, I'll get an ensuing limo driver....
...Oh wait, I had a point but may have lost it somewhere.
-
So....is "Step In Time" as much fun onstage as it is in the movie?
I'm afraid not, although it's very different. It does have one great bit where Bert taps up the side of the proscenium all the way to the top, and then all the way across and down the other side of the proscenium.
Matthew Bourne's numbers are sometimes strange. Again, it's all very enjoyable, though.
-
My Brain is frying from looking at the "final" Starfighter script too much today.
-
Waiting to hear dinner plans, although I had a rather good lunch at 44x10, which, believe it or not, is open during the day (closes at three, though, then reopens for dinner). I had Eggs Benedict.
-
Will we never get to page nine?
-
FJL, did you see my comment that I added you-know-where?
-
My mother invented a short-cut version of Eggs Benedict for when she doesn't feel like taking the trouble to make the full version. She calls it "Eggs Benedict Arnold."
-
Is thas what is known as Brockman Eggs?
-
FJL and BK are being quite covert today.
-
Full security precaution steps must be taken - DR Miss Karen is in the building! ;)
-
Expect a call soon BK...
-
Is thas what is known as Brockman Eggs?

Regular or Benedict Arnold or whatever.
Yum!

The session on the Plaza Hotel arrangement went very well, but it wasn't long enough so I will be adding a number to it tonight. The event is on Monday, Oct 1; the rehearsal is next sunday, 12:30-2:30. I believe.
After that, I rushed down to West 46th Street to meet Donna Lynne Champlin for the 4:30 performance of THE PIPER, which has a glorious Irish score played by a band of five (piano, cello, guitar, percussion, pipe and violin double) and an onstage violin played by the multitalented Nancy Anderson. There's too much music and too little plot, which cannot make up its mind if it's a variation on the Pied Piper, Jack the Ripper, Irish politics in Boston around 1892, or the perils of being an ex-whore and dealing with a mysterious crippled bastard daughter. The music won me over but the book, with an especially ridiculous conclusion, bothered me. It was a mostly excellent cast featuring my friends Christiane Noll and Catherine LaValle, and the musical staging was by Janet Watson, wife of FANTASTICKS author Tom Jones and sister of the glorious 1960s ingenue Susan Watson.

My printer is not accepting directions from my Mac. I am very frustrated at the moment.

Hello from E & T Edisaurus! I still don't have internet service at home and may not before heading to NY next week. But in one corner of our new house, we can mooch off the one neighbor who doesn't require a pasword, when they're in town and when they're home but not sleeping.
Consequently, I only get to read about 4 pages or so before the service disappears. This is beyond frustrating.
To compound things, my work has virtually disappeared after THE CLOSER. I had one day of work after the move (I cut a "Thank You" Emmy spot which never aired since Sally Field won!) and although I had a large project editing for the SAG awards, it's the time of year when Turner panics about money (actually it's about a month early this year) and pulled the job in-house with their editors.
I can't say I'm too unhappy about this development. I love the producer and we were looking forward to working together again, but this it didn't really give me any time to line up any other work to take its place. And now I can't surf the internet and read the posts at work, while loaading or waiting for approvals, and I can't read at home, and I feel quilty about going somewhere to read when my DH and I are trying to get the house more liveable.
I wanted to read all the posts before writing in but I'm not quite finished yet. Still, some of the tragedies and victories and things to celebrate have manifested and resolved themselves, so I'm going to chime in now, after reading of the triumphant premiere night of THE BRAIN.
-
But first a word from our sponsors:
-
Tonight at 8PM, est, for those of you who are at home and not at the NYMF, tune in PBS for Ken Burn's THE WAR, produced by my partner Peter Miller.
I've only seen one episode, but it was phmnomenal and I think the best thing Ken has ever done.
I have to say that I haven't been a huge fan of his work for awhile, but I loved the episode I saw. There are no scholars or historians...it's the story of WWII told by the people who fought it and those around them, from 4 parts of the country.
I know this is late notice but pbs will usually run these several times and it's my first chance to mention it.
The achival footage Peter found was phenomenal, much of it never before seen here as it came from the Japanese and german government.
So, tune in!
-
Hi, DR Edisaurus! So glad to see you here and know that everything is OK. Looking forward to seeing you and DH Greg in NYC very soon.
-
DR Cillaliz has met Peter (I think bk and Adriana and the NY contingent may also have when we premiered SACCO AND VANZETTI) but those who haven't will be able to meet him at the Sept 30th showing of THE BRAIN. He's bringing his wife and two daughters. I described the questionable elements but he seems to think they can deal with muscular men in gold lame, etc.
He's looking forward to meeting all the HHWers, particularly FJL, who he is very grateful to, and thanking everyone who so generously supported our film but attending screenings or buying/renting the DVD. So be sure and introduce yourselves so he can thank you or in the case of der B, dodge his rotten tomatoes!
-
So, DR Laura, did the visiting preacher say a big THANK YOU to you?
-
With all of the HHW people gathering in NYC, why has there been precious few photos?? Pictures! There should be a LOT more pictures! :D
-
Great to see you back on-line, Edi! I hope you take some pictures while you're in NYC! ;)
-
And now...back to light fixtures. :P
-
the questionable elements
Wait a minute...
There are near-naked men in The Brain? ::)
-
So I will try to respond to what I've been reading over the last weeks and repond with:
Condolences to DR Ginny and DH Richard for their loss. I followed the whole story and was hoping for the best, and was very sad about the outcome, but glad that you are both dealing with it as best you can. We'll buy you drinks in NY---I'm glad that you will still be able to join the festivities and may it be a welcome mental break.
-
And we did finally get the shower working, so never fear about that...
-
My printer is not accepting directions from my Mac.
DR elmore3003 - did you try telling your Mac to ask the printer politely?
-
And we did finally get the shower working, so never fear about that...
Oh, and I was going to volunteer to sit next to you, anyway...
-
So, DR Laura, did the visiting preacher say a big THANK YOU to you?
She's not a visiting preacher; she is one of our members. And no.
-
She's not a visiting preacher; she is one of our members.
Oh. That's even worse.
Sorry! :P

I also spent a few tense days worrying about Callie and am so glad that everyhting came out OK, so to speak. I hope she continues to heal and you won't have anything to worry about while youre in NY. And we're looking forward to seeing you, too!
-
George, congratulations on your attainment of zombiehood. You look cute in your new avatar!
-
TCB - she says "Har, har, har!"
Well, if I can bring a little humor into her humble, drab life; then my work today is finished.
-
Ah, dear Singdaw, thank you so much for your concern about my whereabouts. I was very touched that you missed me---believe me, I sure missed being here and missed you, too! And I'm happy that you're willing to make such sacrifices on my behalf! :-)
-
JRand57, all your stories about your show were great! I really enjoyed folliowing that, as well as the progress of the NYMF shows.
-
Just for you JRand - I'll bring mine out tonight!
WOW! Oh, your camera. Well, don't just take it, but use it.
-
DR Michael Shayne, I'm glad you are now about to post for yourself, but VERY sorry to hear that the accident will keep us from meeting you and will ruin your trip. But as a recent accident victim (someone ran a red light and totalled my car a little over a year ago) I have to say just concentrate on how fortunate you were to come out so well. Good karma, obviously! (Or else you drive an "urban assault vehicle"!)
-
Forgive my typos---I don't have time to proof. I only have one bar of signal and I'm waiting for THAT to disappear!
-
Now, birthdays!
Happy, happy birthday, DR Singdaw! It sounds like you didn't really have an all-out celebration, so I presume you're saving yourself for us!
-
Is thas what is known as Brockman Eggs?
And then there is Brokeback Eggs, which you always have to turn over.........
-
And DR Elmore---it sounds like you had a splendid birthday and are enjoying the fruits for your orchestral labor. (Well, maybe not last night, but...)
I definitely think you should celebrate all the way until cloing night. Macbeths be damned!
-
DR Laura, I've loved all the pictures and can't believe you take those with a pocket-sized camera. No matter how great the lens is, it's nothing without a great photographer!
I hope you've had a happy birthday; the photographic evidence appears that way!
BTW, I think you should make your photos into note cards as well as a book!
Signed,
Your Agent
-
Congratulations to Jason and I have my fingers crossed that Mr. Fezziwig will make his way to Atlanta! I saw Georgia on the list but I don't know if it was on YOUR list. Anyway, if you do make it here, we'll take you out for dinner and even to "place of interest". Our new neighborhood is full of interesting places!
-
And congratulations to bk and the Brainiacs. I'm looking forward to seeing it so much and have been playing the soundtrack non-stop in my car. I've decided that I might go to an extra showing before closing night, because I know that Sunday night i'll be kicking myself for only seeing it once!
-
I described the questionable elements but he seems to think they can deal with muscular men in gold lame, etc.
I am sure we could all deal with muscular men in gold lame - -if someone would ever post a photo!
Oh, and welcome back Edi. Enjoy your trip next week.
-
DR Elmore, thank you so much for sending the BRAIN postcard---it was my second piece of personal mail at the new house and holds a place of honor in my new editing room.
-
Woo and Hoo, DR Edi is back! It's so nice to see you on line and I can hardly wait to meet you next weekend. Thanks for your kind thoughts.
We now have everything out of Harriet's apartment, except for some things Rob will pick up tomorrow and the big things, which require a truck and some young backs. Those will be moved tomorrow evening, including a couch that we're putting in our bedroom. It will replace a smaller couch that has been in there that's now here in my study/dressing room.
My DH, his brothers, their wives, and a niece did a marvelous job yesterday and today. Grandma would be proud.
-
Ooops, had to join a new nextwork. We'll see how long that lasta. I'm standing in the corner in the dark, typing. There are no lights in this room yet!
-
Thanks for the WB, TCB and Ginny!
Ginny, I hope you have wonderful movers like we did!
-
...
Ginny, I hope you have wonderful movers like we did!
The husband of the aforementioned niece, his brother, and maybe our DS Rob.

Comcast---different story. We dinally got things working here today, after 6 visits and at least 20 phone calls. I think I mentioned before how much they suck, but little did I know the depths unto which they could suck!
3 vists were a bust because the tech didn't bring a ladder. Greg even went and bought a $200 ladder for one guy but then he ended up hooking things up wrong.
Today they replaced the whole cable and things are finally working but now they say they're going to come back and bury the cable in the yard. I hope I'm here and they don't destroy the yard or the garden wall. Oh, how I hate them!
-
It got to 92 today in Fargo
-
AT&T & Earthlink were also frustrating.
AT&T wouldn't agree to give me a call forwarding message until I had disconnected my phone. Now thtey wat 40 bucks to reconnect it to give me this service and another 10 a month. So, fuggedaboutit. Most of the call on my home phone are telemarketers, or my mom. She knows where to find me.
I had this phone # for 25 years...you'd think they could cooperate a little. Oh well...
-
Earthlink said they would not hook up our internet until the address on our AT&T accound matched our new phone number. We couldn't get AT&T to update their info for a week. Yesterday it finally matched, so now Earthlink say it will take them another week! Argh!
How do people do it who move a lot?
-
Thanks to all who watched our film---DR Jeanne, thank you for your lovely review!

Welcome back, Edi!
-
I take it that the brain trust has now gone out to dinner.
-
Covert? If we ever get covert, there shall certainly be a covert charge involved.
-
The kitties continue to explore the house. We're holding out on their big surprise, the screened in porch, until we're back from NY.
We also need to cat proof a little more so they won't lose their toys in the A/C vents.
And they will also be thrilled to resume their brushing ritual---out on the porch this time!
-
Thank your FJL! Looking forward so much to seeing your show!

But what about the sanity clause?

Last night I went to Blue Ridge to visit my Dad, and to see my niece Sophie, in NUNSENSE as Sister Amnesia.
I know I'm biased, but she was fantastic!! And what a singing voice, and she was sick, too. Wow!! I hope they will post a clip of her so you can see how great she is!
-
OK...time to recharge the battery on DH computer and get some stuff done before he gets back!
Love to all y'all!!!
-
Hello, everyone!
Busy doing the souvenir program for mum's 57th Year High School Reunion, and my pc and my printer are working in harmony.
Nice to see you again, DR Edi!
If anyone cares to see the front photo of the program:

But what about the sanity clause?
You gotta be crazy, ain't a no such-a thing as Sanity Clause!

Hello to MissKaren in the big apple!!

Missie Karen flew right over Pittsburgh, and she didn't drop in to see me. :( I guess this assortment of Godiva and Dove Chocolate is JUST FOR ME!

And me.

<rimshot>
I knew that was coming. ;D
-
And me.
If you're NOT here, I can't share it with you. . .
-
Edi-
It's nice to have you back.....and catching up
-
NIce to see you again Edi, you have been missed!
-
I agree with George, we need more pictures... :)
-
If you're NOT here, I can't share it with you. . .
Oh, good point!

Here is reference to the collapse of the English Language as we knew it in the 1980s....
I present to you... Valley girl.

It is sooooo 1980s

DR Michael Shayne, I'm glad you are now about to post for yourself, but VERY sorry to hear that the accident will keep us from meeting you and will ruin your trip. But as a recent accident victim (someone ran a red light and totalled my car a little over a year ago) I have to say just concentrate on how fortunate you were to come out so well. Good karma, obviously! (Or else you drive an "urban assault vehicle"!)
Thank you very much.
-
I do have question for anyone:
I was listening to The Most Happy Fella (3CD JAY version) and was wondering why Marie (Tony's sister) doesn't speak in the same kind of dialect that he does.
From what I gather they both came to the US at the same time.
-
So sorry I missed Edi! We added one more does of lactalose at bed time for Callie and let's just say the bag I carried out after cleaning the litter boxes was much heavier than it has been in a long time. Now I think she caught my cold. She is sneezing and her eye is running, but she's doing great.
-
Glad to hear that Callie is doing better..
-
Thanks Dakota
-
Back from a lovelier than lovely light supper with Cason, the delightfully delightful Miss Karen, and Jose. We went to the Eatery and I had a faboo Adobe Salad, apparently the favorite dish of dish Laura Bell Bundy, she of Legally Blonde.
-
Thanks to all who watched our film---DR Jeanne, thank you for your lovely review!
You're welcome, Edi. Happy to do it. With all the hassle of your move I didn't expect you to catch up with all the posts.
-
I see I'm close to a milestone. Maybe I'll just babble on a bit.
-
So WHERE'S MISS KAREN??
-
Congrats on your new milestone of 2400 posts Jeanne!
-
TOMOVOZ:
I watched the first episode (of thirteen) of WIND AT MY BACK. I'm afraid I found the writing second-rate. It's real tear-jerker stuff. I don't mind that part, just thought it could be improved upon. I'll watch the next disc, though. Maybe it'll improve.
-
Congrats on your new milestone of 2400 posts Jeanne!
thank you, Dakota.
-
I just read the last few columns. Bruce I had no idea so much needed to be done on opening day to prepare for the show. Vibes all runs smoothly this week.
-
One of my all time great memories is seeing Marcel Marceau perform. I just read the sad news of his passing.
-
Dick Rasmussen was a relative through marriage - my Aunt's brother-in-law. He was an artist and an art teacher at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington (I've always loved saying Walla Walla, Washington) anyway, he was fascinated with Marcel Marceau and went all over the country and to France drawing him. Not sure if he ever did anything with his drawings and later paintings, but they were great. Dick died a few years ago.
-
Good Evening!
...And for dessert, we split their Warm Chocolate Cake with Pistachio Ice Cream, and their daily selection of sorbets: Blood Orange, Pear, and Cantaloupe-Tarragon. All quite DEE-LISH!
-
And as for the The Ritz... I liked it. Rosie Perez's cabaret number/medley is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while - and since Seth Rudetskt put it together, there are some "hidden" jokes in there too. I laughed at them while people were wondering why I was laughing. ;)
Kevin Chamberlin is good, but I think the show belongs to Brooks Ashmanskas as Chris - with a great assist by Patrick Kerr as Claude. And I loved the set too.
Oh, and the men in towels were nice to look at too. :)
-
I went ahead and stopped by the Broadway Cares Flea Market after the show, and ended up picking up a few things. By the time I got there, a lot of the table were holding "Clearance Sales" - 4 t-shirt for $10.00, 5 window cards for $5.00, etc.
I ended up with one of the BC/EFA snowglobes for $5.00, and a conductor's score of The Grass Harp also for $5.00.
Oh, and I did get my "George Bush Is Only For Now" t-shirt from the Avenue Q table - which, as it turns out, was designed by our very own DR Jason. :)
-
Miss Karen would come and post, but she is currently on a cleaning kick - she wants this place to be spic and span for when Jeanne comes in on Wednesday.
-
And then dinner at Eatery.
It was great finally getting to meet DR Miss Karen. What a wonderful Lady. I'm looking forward to spending some more time with her as the week goes by. -And I believe we will be making a trip to Levain tomorrow. :)

So, does this mean that you and BJ don't clean?

A mother can always find something else to clean, no matter how you may try.

George, congratulations on your attainment of zombiehood. You look cute in your new avatar!
Thanks and thanks!
-
DR edisaurus - Good to hear that your move is going well - despite the "technology glitches". And also good to hear that your father is doing well too. See you in a few days.
-
I can't wait until FRIDAY!!!!!!!
ok, just had to get that off my chest
-
DR Jane - Have you tried Godiva's new Marzipan Hearts? A marzipan heart coated in dark chocolate. Quite good. -And it was the Chocolate of the Week last week too - so if you bought three pieces, you got of them for free. :)
-

What time are you and Sam coming in?
-
What time are you and Sam coming in?
If all goes according to Hoyle, we should be at LaGuardia at 1:30 PM
-
Jose I haven't tried the new marzipan hearts. Hmmm...I doubt I can get any here, I'll have to check.
-
It is late & I must go, but first a photo of our "miracle dog".
-
More details tomorrow on the good news we received from the vet. :D
'night.
-
BEautiful picture Jane...
-
Cason, my hellos to MissKaren...
-
Will we never get to page nine?
Certainly.
-
CAson, are you going to get some Monkey CAke for DM
-

Great photo, Jane!
-
Beautiful photo, DR Jane!

Got a gut full of WHAT ABOUT BRIAN tonight. I did get a bit teary-eyed at the memorial service for Arquette's deceased husband, but I am amazed at how telegraphed all the romantic match-ups are. A new face walks into a scene, and the leading actor's face just ligths up and we know that's going to be a driving force for the next several episodes.
-
CAson, are you going to get some Monkey CAke for DM
Oh, at some point, the inevitable will be inevitable.
That's one of the must-do's of this trip for her. :)
-
I will be starting episode #15 tomorrow. Don't know if I'll be able to finish the set tomorrow because I WILL not miss premiere week on NBC tomorrow night.
CHUCK comes on at 8 and the hunky and gorgeous Adam Baldwin is the co-star of the show.
HEROES, of course, not to be missed in its second season premiere.
And, as I've stated before, I'm going to sample JOURNEYMAN for a few weeks to see what I think.
So, BRIAN will take a back seat to those shows tomorrow night. But I'll have the rest of teh day to watch, and will possibly go a bit later into the evening tomorrow depending on how far I get during the morning, afternoon, and early evening.
-
And I did watch COLD CASE tonight, the season premiere. Not an auspicious fourth season (or is it the fifth season) start, but it was OK. Nice to see all the regulars made it back after the shootouts at the end of last season.
-
Page Twelve Harry, Ron, and the slugs Dance!!
-
I also managed to watch the last few minutes of BROTHERS & SISTERS, and saw the music video they fashioned for the season two premiere and also the previews for next week's episode. Looking forward to its return about as much as any show on TV.
-
Tonight I went for a drive. I saw a Wild Turkey
-
Which of course made me wonder....why did the turkeys cross the road? So I asked them
-
they apparently didn't have an answer. As soon as they crossed.....they turned back and headed down the middle of the road
-
If it were up to Ben Franklin, the turkey would've been the national bird of America, not the eagle...according to the musical 1776.
;D
-
Did anybody who watched DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES see a preview for this coming season? I thought that was one of the key points for this recap show. But I did not see any preview.
Unless it was during a commercial break (or not shown on the canadian channel - i watched it at 8pm).
-
I don't know what these are, but I thought they were pretty
-
Yes, the turkey is a noble bird.....
I met Paul for dinner and after ordering told him about seeing the wild turkeys....his response was "You admired the beautiful turkeys and then ordered one for dinner!!! That's just wrong."
-
Cilla, I laughed and laughed. Thanks for the turkey photos.

It hasn't come on yet on the west coast. I'm going to watch it...I'll let you know.
-
It has been a long and pretty-much wasted day.
-
Cilla, I laughed and laughed. Thanks for the turkey photos.
Glad you liked them ;D There are lots of wild turkeys around here. They didn't let me get really close, but I got a number of decent shots
-
Do you have any of the photos really large?
-
Going to do a little bit of writing and then head downstairs to bed.
Good night!
-
I enjoyed the first episode of THE WAR (that doesn't sound right, but you know what I mean) It's a lot different from the historian/still photo style of many Ken Burns films. I thought this was perfect for the subject matter. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Edi's partner, Peter last fall. I'm looking forward to seeing him again.
-
Do you have any of the photos really large?
All the photos are really large, I had to crop and reduce to post them here
-
Could you send a couple of the best ones to me by email? I could use them, with your permission, in November. :)
-
It is SO nice outside! Currently it is 77 degrees F at 8:40 p.m. SO unlike September in Phoenix!
-

How many do you want, lol. I'll send them whole and you can crop to your hearts delight. Sure, you can use them,.
-
Thanks!
-
Oh, at some point, the inevitable will be inevitable.

U can have a piece for me. I have never had it nor heard of it until it was mentioned on the board by Jose, I think, one night
-
Nice pictures Cilla...
The one reminds me of foxtails...
WE have moose up here and you dont go anywhere until they decide to move.
-
I do enjoy it when people share their photos and adventures.
-
WE also have a lot of Canadian Geese up here and they can be downright pesky if they want to be.
-
We must all have adventures.
-
Oh, I love Canada geese. They are arriving here now.
-
We have lots and lots of Canada Geese. There are usually white pelicans at the lake, but they didn't come this year
-
Thanks DR CASON.....I hope to see the foto grafs sooner or later.
Lovely Sherlock at the Beach - wasn't that a Philip Glass-Robert Wilson piece?
-
Poor Callie, her eye is watering like crazy and she is occasionally sneezing. I'm hoping she will be better in the morning, otherwise I will have to call the vet again. Sheesh! I'm getting tired of the vet bills.
-
Oh, I love Canada geese. They are arriving here now.
There's a flock of Canadian geese that fly right over my sister's house every year.
-
We have lots of turkeys on the roads here.....most of them behind the wheel.
-
My external floppy drive with USB connection is dead....dead do you hear? Dead.
-
It cost me ten dollars! And it didn't even last two years.
-
She might have picked up the virus at the vet's office.
-
My condolances, JRand. :'(
-
;)
-
She might have picked up the virus at the vet's office.
Yeah that's what I think. I've been wiping her eye with a wet towel. I hate to have her need too may meds when I'm leaving here for 4 days.
-
Time for me to sign off. Night
-
Laura, email me if you want more photos, I just picked a couple quickly. I can send more if you want them
-
LOL DR GEORGE....no flowers necessary...and there will be no calling.
-
Very warm again tonight.
Watching HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL....Russ Tamblyn is grazing for some grass.
-
Someone should do a song about Monkeycake to the tune of Funkytown.
I tried but couldn't get beyond "Won't you get me some...Monkeycake!"

That's probably all you need...most people don't know any more of the song than that phrase, anyway. ;)
-
Jrand - If anyone sends you flowers. please forward them to Karen care of Cason in New York NY.

Had a wonderful time this afternoon over at George's friend Jim's home. George and Jim had been friends since around 1980 and George's death has been especially difficult for him as they pretty much talked on the phone almost daily. I knew Jim lived near Salem (he moved down here from Portland about 2 years ago), and George had mentioned him many times, but I never met him until the funeral. We decided we should get together and today was the day.
Jim made a wonderful dinner and dessert and we played with Bosco and his dog June, and George's dog Scruffy who now is living with Jim.
Jim is a great guy and I am glad I finally got to meet him...incidently, he and my sister Sue used to work together at AT&T back in the 1980s and were good buddies but had lost track of each other over the years...I will have to rectify that.
-
And here is Dog Bosco with his new cousins June (in foreground) and Scruffy.

Jrand - They say don't mess with Miss karen.
-
Isn't there a drag queen called Messy Beaucoup?
-
And one more shot of Dog Bosco just because it turned out so swell!

Well, "Desperate Housewives" just ended and there was no specific preview during the show. At the end, there was a general preview of the new season's shows starting next week, but that's it.
