Lingerie-maker Triumph International Japan has just unveiled the "My Chopsticks Bra" in Tokyo to promote the use of reusable chopsticks. That's right, you can enhance your cleavage and save the planet at the same time.
The not-for-sale concept bra, which has a Japanese dining-table theme, comes with a pair of collapsible chopsticks. The right cup consists of a rice bowl, while the left comprises a miso-soup bowl.
Meanwhile, a removable chopstick rest is nuzzled between the cups. Cloth holsters, placed on the sides of the cups, hold the chopsticks, while pushing against your bosom to create the desired décolletage.

MISS KAREN'S DESSERT:

ASSOCIATED PRESS (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,309457,00.html)
MOST EXPENSIVE DESSERT IN THE WORLD: NYC EATERY OFFERS $25,000 FRRROZEN HAUTE CHOCOLATE
NEW YORK — This is one rich cup of haute chocolate: A New York eatery is offering a $25,000 dessert bulging with top-grade cocoa, edible gold and shavings of a luxury truffle.
The Frrrozen Haute Chocolate was declared the most expensive dessert in the world on Wednesday by Guinness World Records.
The dessert is a frozen, slushy mix of cocoas from 14 countries, milk and 5 grams of 24-carat gold topped with whip cream and shavings from a La Madeline au Truffle.
It is served in a goblet with a band of gold decorated with 1 carat of diamonds and served with a golden spoon diners can take home.
The dessert was created by Serendipity 3, a restaurant popular with tourists and once featured in a John Cusack movie.
Surely a loving son could oblige...

Good morning, all! Another frantic day and I've been having too many of them at the moment.
DR JMK, I have no wish to fight with you, and I apologize that I missed your last post because I had already signed off. I would have simply responded then and there. I do agree with you that you're doing what's requested and I'm sure it will sound fine and suit your director's goals. I sent you an email this morning, and feel free to pass it along to those email senders who clearly didn't like my posts or my caveats last evening.
DR singdaw, the news about the Radio City broadcast is most interesting, since they may owe me money if my sequence is still in the production, and I do loves me my royalty checks. And then, wouldn't it be nceif there were a DVD and further checks? I'm already buying real estate. Not.
Today, Toyland and the NYPL: for a person who spent the first two-thirds of 2007 unemployed, I'm suddenly hopping: proofreading a piece from my publisher for a deadline next week, Ashley Brown's two charts, and the New York City Gay Men's Chorus hoday concert. Last night tenor Kip Wilborn sent me an email about work, and I told him if it was needed before Dec 10 I was turning him down. He arrives in New York tonight, so I suppose I'll be talking to him before tomorrow night as well. I wish things were going so swimmingly on the estate front.
TOD: this is media day?
DVD: Lord knows
CD: Concert Overtures by Sullivan, Mendelssohn, etc.; Princess Ida; Mary Poppins soundtrack

I know there are a lot of opera queens out there who will be scandalized by my opinion, but if it had been a screenplay for, say, Joan Crawford and Ty Hardin, or any man at least 20 years her junior, the Carol Burnett Show would have trashed it to death eons ago,

Last night you posted:
I turned on CRIMINAL MINDS to see how Joe Montagne is fitting into Mandy Patinkin's slot on the team. Pretty much fit right into place, the same somber tone as his predecessor. The case involved an obsessed gay man serial killing these women
I got the impression that all the killings had been done by the older gent (who was not depicted as gay) and the young kid (a refuge from the "Commish") had the gay crush and was setting out to emulate his fallen idol.

I had hopes that maybe Paramount would release CHINATOWN in HD-DVD being that it's such a classic. However, they seem only interested in releasing the newest hits in HD-DVD.
I think CHINATOWN is one of the masterpieces of the 1970s and would love to own the best-possible copy of the film for viewing at home. However, I'm holding off buying the new edition for now to see if it gets any kind of love from Paramount in the high def realm.

We have a few New Yorkers in town this weekend. The team of Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens along with "Broadway's Golden Couple" (or something like that as they were introduced) Marin Maizie and Jason Danielly, in a world premiere of a new show Ahrens and Flaherty: Words and Music (http://bbbay.org/ahrensandflaherty.html)
The show, which was more like a revue or concert, was very well put together. Everyone sang, including Lynn singing "Times Like This" from Lucky Stiff. Some other highlights included Stephen playing the theme from "Ragtime" as a piano solo, MAN he can play. It was amazing. Also, while I'm not a Marin Maizie fan, she did bring me to tears with "Back To Before", maybe it was hearing it in person. Songs from The Glorious Ones were performed as well as bits from each of their shows. Although, anything from Dessa Rose seemed to have been missing. Lynn and Stephen gave some interesting tidbits about the creation of their shows in between the songs. It was a great night.
Today, A&F will be speaking to one of our local high school kids and I'm going to attend that gathering and hope to be able to chat with the team.

Speaking of Ms. Farmer (and when am I not, LOL?) things are proceeding apace with King-TV, though I don't think they've made an ultimate decision yet.

Just what I need--something else to do in December. :o

I decided to get a flu shot after all (since I found out i can get one for free). So i have an appointment on the 21st.

And the place she did them last year will not take you if you are not on the list.

I'm editing scenes shot for the internet for a TBS series called "10 Items or Less". The actors are very impressive, especially the lead actor, who plays the onwer of the market. All the scenes I'm working with are improvised, and the actors know their characters so well that they are never for a loss for words.
The lead actor is having his yearly review with 6 employees, so he improved for about 4 hours straight without ever losing focus or energy. Very funny guy!
Luckily this was shot right before the writer's strike!

Tomorrow we may buy a stove. The house came with this old Jenn-Air thing which is worthless to me. 2 electric burners and on the other side is a grill, so you can grill meat indoors and collect a lot of grease---blech. If I want to grill I will do it outside!
Plus, the downdraft ventilaiton makes the oven space much smaller. And I like to cook with gas. I can't wait to get rid of it.
Unfortunately, it's a slide-in and for some reason they are much more expensive. Oh well...
I'm sure that this is very interesting to everyone. It's a dilemma to me, though, because I don't cook enough to know what I want, but I WANT to cook, and intend to cook...

I think the optimum solution is to have a gas cook top and an electric convection/bake oven built-in at eye level (I'm sure there will be lots of encouraging advice on a pending kitchen remodel :D) You can recover much of the cupboard space you give up for the oven by putting cabinetry beneath the cook top. If you shop for gas pay attention to the number of BTU's per burner! Size DOES matter!

Our most beloved city councilman (since retired from politics) in Marietta was gay, but in that town, which is famously homophobic, it was sort of a "don't ask, don't tell" situation. He wasn't open about it but everyone seemed to know and it never created a problem, apart from our evil developer nemesis spreading lies about the councilman.

Hope the guy in Doraville speaks Spanish!

Yes - but remember, the 4-7 slot belongs to the local station, not the network; in this area of the Mid-Atlantic, the Raven's game will be very popular.

Good Afternoon!
Back from the gym... WHEW! I had a another good workout, and since I didn't have anywhere else to go after the gym, I was able to take my time during my routine. It was nice not to rush, or at least not to feel rushed. -And I have to say, my arms are lookin' good. ;)

DR Matthew - I've seen/heard Stephen Flaherty play in person a couple of times, and, yes, the guy has some chops!!

Been there, done that -- already have one. They wanted me to do the ad, too, but decided they needed someone who looked like they actually knew how to use chopsticks (being younger and cuter had nothing to do with who they went with either...). I'm right now using the little bowl for oatmeal instead of rice (in honor of DR Ben) -- oatmeal and chopsticks -- a bit tricky, but I've got a napkin handy...
;D ;D ;D
And you didn't WEAR IT TO NY???

So a truly decadent NYC outing would be to see Young Frankenstein from Premium Seats and then getting this gold ice cream thingy for dessert?
Well... Before the show, may I suggest the Chef's Tasting Menu at Per Se with the Wine Pairings. That will only set you back another $8,000-15,000 depending on your wine selections. -Although, since the Chef's Tasting usually takes a minimum of three to four hours, you may end up missing the show. ;)

The bagel is topped with white truffle cream cheese and goji berry-infused Riesling jelly with gold leaves. The chef created the unique treat to help raise funds for the Les Amis d'Escoffier Scholarship, which gives scholarships to cooking students. The $1,000 bagel is only available until December 14 and has to be ordered 24 hours in advance.

Look at that! The Living Room is just crawlin' with DRs!!

I'm sure that this is very interesting to everyone. It's a dilemma to me, though, because I don't cook enough to know what I want, but I WANT to cook, and intend to cook...
I understand perfectly. My ideal is a 5- or 6-burner gas cooktop (or stove). I currently have a (4-burner) gas cooktop, but an electic oven, that works fine for me.
As for someone who keeps says that she SHOULD cook, but then doesn't, well, HERE I AM!

MattH (or any other in the know DR)--did you watch Criminal Intent last night? I was so caught up in seeing Steve Guttenberg (my, how he's changed), I didn't notice who was playing his wife, and she looked awfully familiar. Do you know who it was?
I did watch it, but I didn't know the actress myself.
-
Got my shopping done quickly at the store (no lines at check-out) and was able to get back with time to watch quite a few things.
-
Page Seven Ron and Harry Dance!!!
-
I began by watching last night's 30 ROCK. A very funny show with David Schwimmer playing a Green Vote advocate hired by Alec Baldwin for GE. Very funny stuff once David gets the big head about his influence.
-
Next was THE OFFICE that was simply hilarious, especially the first half with just great lines and some very funny sight gags with Dwight around the office.
-
As I was finishing lunch, I watched LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT. It was a good case this week and one was never quite sure who was doing what to whom until all was revealed near the end.
-
Next came the Blu-ray disc of CARS. A beautiful looking high definition encoding of this complexly animated film. Yes, the detail on the disc is simply staggering and the sound was top notch as the sound design for all Pixar films seems to be.
-
I watched the film all the way through and then began again listening to the two audio commentary tracks. I would spend ten minutes with one and then switch to the other just to get a feel for the flow of each conversation. I think director John Lasseter's track is the better of the two (the other one is a combination of four of the team's designers).
I also started watching the documentary shorts that are on the disc.

Today I picked my candidate. I've been leaning toward Richardson all along, but today I put his bumper sticker on my car. I have some concerns about his viability in my precinct (you have to have the support of 15% of the people in attendance or you don't get a precinct delegate) but he's going to be my first choice.
I also got invited to a house party to meet Richardson's wife on Sunday. I haven't seen much of her at all, so I'm really interested in seeing what she is like. The candidates are thick around here this weekend, but it's mostly the big crowds and I'm not into that. Since I have to pick a second choice in the event Richardson isn't viable, I'll still be looking and listening
-
There is an event Sunday night. It's $10, but Biden, Dodd, Richardson, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and someone from Edwards campaign will be there. I've been considering it, but it's really too many candidates in one place to get much out of it. It's in a rural area and will be great for the people there who don't get all the candidates passing through. Although this year is a bit of an exception. I'm hearing about events in tiny towns around here. It's quite amusing.

Friday evening greetings! Oh, my, it's been a long day.
Today was Dayton Metro Library's 21st annual Staff Day. The entire system was closed and several hundred of us spent the day at Hope Hotel and Conference Center (http://www.hopehotel.com), which is adjacent to Wright Patterson Air Force Base. We had some good educational sessions, recognition of employment milestones (I got my 10-year gift - a fine silver necklace and bracelet), a hokey motivational humorist, etc.
The highlight of the day was the after-lunch debut, in the parking lot, of DMLition, our book cart drill team. They were wonderful and I hope there's a YouTube to share with you soon.

I was concerned about Callie over the past few days because she hasn't left me any other surprises. So I took her in to be checked today and found out.....she's not full of poop! What a sweet thing to hear. I can relax a little
sweet! :D
-
Danise's plane left 10 minutes late and arrived 10 minutes late-not bad.
-
I played a rabbi today - oy.
-
Will we never get to page nine?
-
Hello out there.
-
I will single-handedly take us to page nine.

Good Evening!
Well, since I needed to eat some dinner, I decided to go ahead and head to midtown to get a bite to eat. I also just wanted to get out of the apartment for a bit. -And, yes, it's raining - and it's a cold rain too. In any case...
I decided on a sushi place, but ended up having Salmon Teriyaki. While I was there, I ran into one of the house contractors (the guy in charge of taking roll and submitting payroll for the pit orchestras in each theatre). After saying Hi, he asked me, "So, did you hear if we're actually going on tonight?" I told him that when I checked the internet before I left the house that the strike was still on hold. Apparently, IATSE could have been called the strike as late as 7:00 tonight. He also didn't seem too optimistic that there wouldn't be some sort of work stoppage in the coming days. :-\

Vey?
Gevalt?
-
DR Jane - Thanks for the DR Danise updates. I hope the weather did not delay her flight.
-
i think the weather was fine
-
Page nine as I live and breathe.
-
Will we never get to page ten?
-
JRand, hope you will enjoy your movies...that SAMPOORNA RAMAYAN is one kooky mythological movie! But, oh what fun all those Gods and Goddesses!
-
I read the strike has been called for the morning (IATSE, that is). Whether they'll actually do it is another story. They will receive so much negative press that I, for one, think that the powers that be are blustering, and I'm not sure they'd have the guts to go through with it - should they have the guts, I doubt it will last very long.
-
So, look for an eleventh hour reprieve of some sort.
-
I'm VERY hungry.
-
Trying to decide what I'm in the mood for. Of course, if I go out, my choices are very limited as it's Friday night and everywhere I like is crowded.
-
I shall also watch a Bollywood movie tonight (rather, another Tollywood movie) titled GEMINI starring the most gloriously hunky Tamil actor Vikram! I shall have sweet dreams tonight!
Vikram is what would be if Tom Selleck and Al Parker had a baby.

-
But before Tollywood, I must eat dinner and finish my 1944 Universal musical (with gowns by Vera West) SING A JINGLE starring Allan Jones and June Vincent.
-
I gotta tell you.
-
Listening to Michel Legrand music, waiting for my dinner companions to arrive - were supposed to be here thirty minutes ago, but not getting here before seven-fifteen. I may be passed out on the floor before then.
-
When I return, I'll finish Flesh and Fantasy.
-
Not necessarily in that order.
-
We were deciding where to take sherlock this afternoon, hike or the dog park, when we received a call to meet Boulder at the dog park. Boulder is the Bernese Mountain Dog who ran straight at me with Sherlock. This time Keith joined us.
It was unusually busy at the park, yet there was Boulder waiting for Sherlock as we entered the gate. They had a great time playing.
We won't see much of Boulder after the first of the year. He will be busy training to be an avalanche rescue dog, and then working the slopes on Mt. Ashland.

Bruce left while I was tying-TYPING WITH BOTH HANDS AND NINE FINGERS! I didn't use my left thumb.
I should really stop cuz it is hurting most of the fingers on my left hand, but it feels like such a big accomplishment. ;D
ok, i'm done with that-back to the one finger method.
-
'night
-
Jane I have never noticed what thumb I have used on the space bar...
-
Well... Local 1 just called for the strike - It will take effect tomorrow morning. :-\
-
We shall see. IF it happens, it will be over by Tuesday.
-
I was able to finish all of the special features on the CARS Blu-ray disc. It's a gorgeous transfer, and the special features do give a complete picture of how the film was made. They did A LOT of research not only on NASCAR but also on the old Route 66 where the lengthy middle portion of the picture takes place. All of those stores in Radiator Springs were based on actual stores they saw along the highway.
-
I did watch last night's MY NAME IS EARL. Very funny "Scared Straight" scenario, and Randy and Earl's bickering didn't get resolved, so the episode is continued next week.
-
Before I headed out to my friend's house, I also watched the opening sequence of GHOST WHISPERER. I'll have to finish it sometime tomorrow. I also recorded MOONLIGHT and WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB.
-
At my friend's house, we watched JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT with Donny Osmond. He'd only seen portions of it on PBS, so we watched it. Donny's in very good voice and looks very nice (so does Robert Torti). Maria Friedman's the Narrator singing very nicely. I am not a fan of the show, and I'm definitely not a fan of this phony-baloney filming of it.
The transfer is fairly old now, and the DVD is not enhanced for widescreen TVs. The DTS track is what we listened to, and it is resonant and full-bodied.
-
I have to do some writing so I'm signing off now.
Good night!
-
No UN CHAMBRE for me today.
Nor for me. :-\
-
DR JMK- KING TV may as well come out here and interview me, too.
Are you serious?? That's so cool!

It was good enough to get both Grandlads interested in musical theatre, and for that I am thankful. Later, they got to go to Philly to see it live with Patrick Cassidy.

Or perhaps their lifeless bodies are lying in some dark alley behind an eatery.

It's very amusing, but on every theater website they're saying the strike will begin at ten in the morning. "They" meaning "sources" or faceless people. But, when one reads the latest release at Playbill, there's this interesting paragraph:
"Neither the League nor the union has released an official statement. Lisa Linden, a spokesperson for the League told AP, "We have not heard from Local One regarding a strike and it would be shocking if they would hurt the theatergoing public by shutting down Broadway without notice."
In other words, while there may well be a strike first thing in the morning, there has been NOT ONE OFFICIAL WORD that such a thing is happening. Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but all this "sources say" is horse manure - when it's official it will be official, and it ain't official until the fat lady sings first thing in the morning.
-
We shall see. IF it happens, it will be over by Tuesday.
Do you care to share your rational for predicting such a short work stopage?
