I am listening to a CD, He Loves and She Loves, featuring the vocal stylings of the wonderful Miss Judy Kaye (Soprano) and William Sharp (Baritone) with Mr. Steven Blier at the piano. It's a compilation of 20 songs and duets by Mr. George Gershwin.

And I am commiting a frenzy
-
I must go and wash the bowl
-
And then I must continue keying Program-related investment records into our grants database
-
And I must compose an e-mail straightening out the confusion about using a population code when using a certain kind of subject code. It seems our indexing rules have been misinterpreted.
-
And then I must write my self-evaluation for the folly of Performance Evaluations, a time-wasting effort in corporate silliness that is repeated year after year.
-
Aren't you all glad to know what kind of day I have ahead of me ;D
-
I'm not going to get us to Page 2 but I helped get us down the pike to Post 18
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up.... And I just finished my breakfast. And since I'm having breakfast at the hotel restaurant, I don't have to wash the dishes.
-
Good Morning, Beñ.
;)
-
In any case... I slept rather well, and got out of bed a few minutes after getting my wake-up call at 6:00. Showered, dressed, came down for breakfast, etc., etc., etc. The van should be here in about half an hour, and then my adventure begins. :)
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
The only that comes to mind right now is "A Home At The End of the World". It's not really a "drug film", but it does contain one of my "favorite" "getting high/hallucinating/tripping" sequences.
And I'm sure there are a couple of TV movies that could fit the bill.

So, DR JoseSPiano -

And then I must write my self-evaluation for the folly of Performance Evaluations, a time-wasting effort in corporate silliness that is repeated year after year.
Performance evaluations are the subject for the 10 ITEMS OR LESS skits I edited last week. I'll post a link to the tbs website when they're up. You might find them funny!
-
I'm sure I will. My view of performance evaluations is not understood by the folks in Personnel. They don't understand why I don't enjoy taking 2 or more hours out of my work schedule to fill out silly forms and find different ways to pat myself on the back. The Office Lives!
-
Regarding JLS, you did notice Leslie Parrish's credit on the film, didn't you, BK?
-
You write your own performance evaluation? Do you get to determine your own raise as well?
-
I wish. No, I have to do this "self-evaluation" (it's a tightly structured form with check boxes and some room for written exposition) and give it to my supervisor. She then gives me her evaluation of me and then we go into a room and "discuss"
-
Hi, Danise!
-
Ben - Here, our evaluations are done the same way, except that it's electronic and more involved. We have to submit it to up to five colleagues for critique and comment before it goes back to the boss.
To say that it is one of my most dreaded annual tasks is an understatement!
-
Hi everyone.
Just wanted to touch base and let you know that I'm doing ok. You didn't know it but the day after I got home from my trip, I had to go into the hospital for another surgery. I didn't want to worry anyone. You know I've been seeing the chropractor quite a bit these past couple of months.
It was discovered that I have arthritis in my back. Not so bad--yet but if I didn't take care of things now it would have gotten worse as time went on.
Everything went fine. I am at Thelma's until tomorrow when I have to go home because the dogs will be coming home from the kennel. I had to find a place that could deliver them because I won't be able to drive for at least the next two weeks.
I hope that DR Elmore isn't having such a bad time.
td, it was wonderful to meet you! Jane emailed the house listing you sent. I liked it but I didn't see a fenced in yard for the dogs. That would be a must. :)
-
Hi, Danise!
Hi Ben! Tell Ant I said "Hello!". :)
-
I hate it when I have to do my self eval. What a pain. Do they really think you are going to be crazy enough to say you are anything but perfect?
-
Thursday morning greetings! It's payday and I'm about to make my coworkers very happy by serving them the leftover refreshments from last night's program.
Recuperation vibes for DR Danise!
Ah, yes, performance evaluations. Hated doing them when I was a manager and hate having them done to me, especially by bosses who haven't been alive as long as I've been a member of the American Library Association. Someday, I will look back "fondly" on these past 10 years as my Dilbert Days.
-
DR Danise - glad to know that you are OK and that everything went well! At last we understand your cryptic remark last week about the dogs going BACK to the kennel after you had already returned from traveling!

Dick Van Dyke did a memorable TV-movie called THE MORNING AFTER about alcoholism.

Today I'll attempt to watch SVU, LIFE, and CSI: NY which I've recorded this week.
I must begin SAWDUST AND TINSEL, an upcoming Criterion release, today. It's an early Ingmar Bergman movie that I've never seen.

On tap tonight, WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB moves for one night to the 10 p.m. slot behind GREY'S ANATOMY. I'll bet if the ratings go through the roof, ABC will think about moving it permanently to this slot.
-
To say that it is one of my most dreaded annual tasks is an understatement!
I've watched my clients go through this at Turner. I usually work with their bosses, and the dread it as much as the producers because they're all friends as well.
This is one of the many reasons I am self-employed.
Hmmm...how has my performance been this year?
-
Well, ROAST MULES certainly does not give you OATMEAL RESIDUE.

Good morning, all! Jo amd I were out of the house early to run errands, and we had a good time: the bank, the market, Goodwill to inquire about their taking the contents of Dad's house, and a trip to Dad's house to look for his naval uniform, which we found in the attic. During a look around to remove some property, we found behind a group of old postage stamps the famous check for the loan my father made to the family business: $72,000! Lady M claimed we'd never prove it existed, I believed she'd destroyed it while my dad was staying at the Macbeths', and I doubt M himself ever thought it would show up. Randy, Jo, and I had looked for months, and two days after settling the debt over the Macbeths' protests, I now have in my possession the proof. Since this matter is now officially signed and sealed, I can do nothing at this point but hold onto it and wait for my chance to throw it back in their faces.
It's a curious document, dated July 1 2001, endorsed by Lady M, and my dad was figuring on the back of the canceled check just how much interest the Macbeths would owe him. In the memo line next to the signature, Dad had written "loaned @ 6%." Jo and I believe somehow my dad Bill Ed himself was guiding us today. We sure miss him.
So, tonight I have dinner with my cousin Jennifer and her mother, my wonderful Aunt Ginny, and some musical work starting here starting now.
TOD: Can't think of a thing. Maybe later.

Another possibility: Make copies for everyone who had been involved in the "proceedings/negotiations", have them notarized, and send the copies out "registered mail." Include the the full list of those you mailed it to in each mail-out (a "cc" list).
A nice little "dig"...and proof that someone was lying.

Jennifer, I think that is a little heartless. George Osmond's funeral was held on November 9th. On the 12th Marie was back competing. Anyone who has lost a parent will tell you that three days after a funeral is not even the blink of an eye. Also, today Marie's sixteen year old son entered rehab. I doubt that his problem manifested itself overnight
.
I am sorry Marie's dad passed away I really am.. But i don't find what i wrote heartless. I have not lost a parent. But I don't think that diminishes my compassion for her.
I would have felt bad if marie osmond had been eliminated the week she was not there (the day after she found out her dad died).
But there are only i think 5 celebs left in the competition. And marie is clearly the weakest. I don't think it's right that she stays on forever just becauser her father passed away. Jane seymour's mother passed away. And i also felt very happy for her that she was safe that week.
But what happens next week for marie? IT will still only be a few days after her dad's funeral? And i actually also wondered if it might have been better for her if she had been eliminated the day after her father passed away. IT would have given her time to spend with her family (instead of spending that time practicing).
I am sorry though if i offended you in any way.

My self-evaluation is due in the next couple of weeks. :-\

My favorite "anything" re: "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" is Richard Harris' "superb" recording of the story with music undescore.
This one won a Grammy, too. Oddly enough, it's not yet made it to commercial CD.
It's a terrific listen...and "tells the story", rather than preach. of a gull who was different, shunned and who moved on to a higher plane, but who later returned to his original flock to help others.
It's a terrific dramatic recording.

Bruce, have a nice lunch at Cassell’s, the place where Keith almost lost a finger working the slicking machine. He then rushed over to my father's office, the one next to where your father's restaurant was.
Sorry if I should know the answer to this question....what is in the building now? Is it still a restaurant? We haven't returned to neighborhood since long before my father retired.

I don't believe this has anything to do with who stays or goes.
Has anyone forgotten the Emmit Smith win over Mario Lopez? It's a popularity contest.
If talent had anything to do with anything, then Blake certainly would never have made the final two of American Idol, much less the final 5. (And Taylor Hicks and Katherine McPhee would not have finished 1-2, either.)
If the best is the ultimate goal, then we are all out of luck, because the "best" NEVER WIN!

I only checked the first disk and the sound quality of two of the shows is terrible....a great disappointment.
OTH - WITH A SONG IN MY HEART is very good, with nice crisp colors (a bit dark) and sound.
I enjoyed the extras about Jane Frohman, I only knew about her life from the movie.

IF Judy Jetson had lived in Salem at the time of the witch trials, she'd likely have been called Goody Doody.
Say THAT name six times very fast!

Well, folks, the ROUTE 66 DVD arrived. The news is not good. The transfers are DARK, although I can't speak to whether they are the full episodes or not.
I only checked the first disk and the sound quality of two of the shows is terrible....a great disappointment.
OTH - WITH A SONG IN MY HEART is very good, with nice crisp colors (a bit dark) and sound.
I enjoyed the extras about Jane Frohman, I only knew about her life from the movie.
No commentary. But Drew Casper shows up in the documentary....to no great effect. Why do they keep using him?
That's DR. Drew Casper to you, PLEASE!
Obviously, he's giving them something they want or need. Otherwise, there are plenty of other experts they could call upon.
-
The day certainly has not been dragging for me. It's been crammed full from the moment I got on-line this morning.

Waiting for breakfast

3 minutes ago! He's been fed now!

If Howdy Doody ate a dowdy-
Have no doubt, it would be rowdy.
When he sees what he has done
He'll up and down another one.

Goody Doody.

I did...
And it wasn't pretty.

I began my afternoon by watching last night's LIFE, and I'm happy to say I found it the best episode of the season that I've watched. (I think I've only missed one.) Superb mystery, exciting conclusion, and some tense stuff with Crews' personal investigation, too.
-
He's been fed now!
He looks quite regal! :)
-
Next, I watched Ingmar Bergman's SAWDUST AND TINSEL. Full of angst like so many of his movies, and an interesting and rather woeful triangle at its center. There's a fight scene late in the picture that's one of the most frightful beatings I can remember seeing in a movie that had nothing to do with boxing.
This is a Criterion-lite release. Apart from a commentary (haven't listened to it yet) and a Bergman introduction, there aren't any other special features.

Loved the corpse. Wonderful!
Damian Lewis is an amazing actor, too!

Oh dear. Look what we've started! :P
It isn't the first time. :)

Well, I guess it's time for me to head back down and continue with Mr. Bergman's film.
I cleaned the bedroom areas today, so I can give the rest of the evening over to viewing.

And one for Mahler!

Hi DR Megan, it's nice to see you.

It isn't the first time. :)
And it won't be the last.

Damian Lewis is an amazing actor, too!
He reminds me of cross between Steve McQueen and Robert Lansing, mostly McQueen.

Great to see you Dan The Man.

Hi, Dan (the Man)! :D

I very much enjoyed "Son Of A Witch" Elphaba LIVES!
I am very pleased that you very much enjoyed "Son of a Witch;" Elphaba does indeed LIVE!

I sees ya lurkin', Dan-o.
Won'tcha post a note and let us all know you're OK?

Back from a nice lunch at Cassell's and various and sundried other errands, including a lot of mailing.

AOL is being retarded.

Dr. Casper is everything I hate about DVD extras. A know-it-all pontificating pedant who's had so much facial surgery trying to be a DVD extras "star" that he looks embalmed.

Hey, are there any NYCers who might be able to record THIS (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/112809.html) for me on WCBS-TV (channel 2 in the tri-state area) on Tuesday, November 27th? I'd greatly appreciate it. :)

I just got an email containing some very lovely photos which might be of interest to fellow HHWers. . .
The subject line was "Being in the Right Place at the Right Time," and I do believe that DR DearReaderLaura will fully agree with that subject.
Instead of posting all the photos, I put them into an album for all the world to see:

Back from more errands and relaxing until my brain-picking six-thirty meeting.

I'm off. Tonight, I'm ushering for the silent movie, "Piccadilly (http://www.washingtoncenter.org/season/season_detail.asp?event_id=928)" with Anna May Wong, "brilliantly restored by the British Film Institute." It will have live organ music played by Dennis James (he has a pretty impressive bio on the website). It should be very exciting!

I was feeling very tired this morning and early afternoon, but now I feel wide awake. What's up with that?

We're seeing the Cirque du Soleil show WINTUK to celebrate Skip's birthday tomorrow. I hear the snow effect is particularly spectacular.

BK -- any idea what this new Intrada release will be...the one to be announced in 17 minutes, or so, that Nick Redman produced?
And if you do, can you "name" it?

thats cool. we spent a year living in Tiburon & it was fun watching the fog roll in. i never took a photo like this.

I wish. No, I have to do this "self-evaluation" (it's a tightly structured form with check boxes and some room for written exposition) and give it to my supervisor. She then gives me her evaluation of me and then we go into a room and "discuss"
I used to have to do that - I gave myself very good ratings and suggest you do the same
-
All day today I was thinking about the friends I met here online... I just sigedn on a see an attoreny from Iowa, a Vegetarian animal lover form Oregon and a Musical writing tax attorney from New York and fondly remember having dinner with all of them!!
I would not have ahd the pleasure of thier company had it not have been for the visoion of Bruce... thanks again Bruce (
( I know we did it yesterday but I'm backward!)
-
They have several upcoming projects - can't remember which this is.
-
Vixmon, dahlink - let me just say that I adore you and the vixter! Now, where's that review?
-
;D It is obvious we spend too much time at vets & concentration on the health of our pets.
I hope you got into the swing of your presentation.
Thank you George, either way it won’t be a big deal. Of course we prefer it to go away without surgery.
DR Jane, I hope you understood. It was just the line "I thought of you at the vet today" not the issues about Sherlock. You know I wish you the best on that
-
Had a long day driving to Des Moines and back (6 hours + round trip) and attending the seminar and speaking. It was a good day, though and was nice to show my former colleagues I do know about immigration. I had a number of lawyers say they would be calling. So it looks like it was a good day business wise
-
Gotta find something to eat. catch you later

Happy Birthday to SKIP!!!! Have a great time!!

Hi Vixmom - good to see you....
-
Wasn't there an Emily Litella or similar bit about "What's all this fuss about Veterinarian's Day? They make plenty of money, so why a special day for them?" or something like that?
-
vixmom - Skip says thanks for the early birthday wishes!
-
DR Jane, I hope you understood. It was just the line "I thought of you at the vet today" not the issues about Sherlock. You know I wish you the best on that

cute & sweet. most of all i remember how much fun I had walking with you and the Vixter.

Cilla, good news on your good day, business wise. I knew once you got there you would be great.

I'm back from a wonderful dinner with my cousin Jennifer, my Aunt Ginny, and her husband Dave. Ginny is not in the best of shape: continual surgeries on blood clots in her leg, eye surgery in the local hospital which ended in a staff infection doing hell to her retina, and since she's in her late 70s I'm worried about her. Her sense of humor is still intact, and we laughed throughout dinner. I told her all about the Macbeths' crimes against humanity, and she told me all about her neighbor Rhonda who was recently fired from her bar maid's job after a security video of her and her boyfrend having sex on a pool table after hours in the bar surfaced. The owners showed it to Rhonda's husband. Last week she attacked the boyfriend with a baseball bat. I told them that it sounded as if Rhonda were auditioning for an episode of COPS.
I got back just in time to catch UGLY BETTY and events I didn't think would happen. What a great show.
DR MattH, what are the ratings like on LIFE? I love the show, and I missed last night's episode. I would hate to see NBC drop it.
-
Sometimes modern technology is great. We connected with sound and video tonight to see Craig in his new suit. He wanted advice on which shirt & tie to wear with it. He also got a nice overcoat.
-
DR elmore, it is wonderful reading of the fun you are having on this trip. Health vibes to your DA Ginny.

RE: DANCING WITH THE STARS.
DR RonP, I think the best (Apolo Anton ono) won last season.
I do agree with you though that much of it is due to popularity. However re: DWTS, they don't usually have anyone that is not pretty decent at the end. And people who were not popular (Mel B was in the B2 near the beginning) and who turn out to be great dancers have had their popularity turned around.

TOD: Maybe I'll Come Home in the Spring.
I have been contacted by yet another media outlet on my FF article. I've never heard of this lady, but she claims she has millions of listeners on her on-line radio show. She wants to IV me. All this while Wikipedia yet again attempts to hijack my research while denying I exist. :)
I spent the entire day on Project X and am now mostly done. This may not be Grade A Rodgers, but I sure love a lot of it. I think someone (me, perhaps) needs to write an article on Rodgers' incessant use of the augmented fourth.

Dang it all! I missed DR Dan (the Man)! :(

DR TCB wrote:.
I am sorry Marie's dad passed away I really am.. But i don't find what i wrote heartless. I have not lost a parent. But I don't think that diminishes my compassion for her.
I would have felt bad if marie osmond had been eliminated the week she was not there (the day after she found out her dad died).
But there are only i think 5 celebs left in the competition. And marie is clearly the weakest. I don't think it's right that she stays on forever just becauser her father passed away. Jane seymour's mother passed away. And i also felt very happy for her that she was safe that week.
But what happens next week for marie? IT will still only be a few days after her dad's funeral? And i actually also wondered if it might have been better for her if she had been eliminated the day after her father passed away. IT would have given her time to spend with her family (instead of spending that time practicing).
I am sorry though if i offended you in any way.
DR Jennifer, you did not offend me in any way. You say that you have not lost a parent. You are very lucky, because you always sound like a person who is very family oriented. I was not suggsting that Marie be given the crown (or the tacky trophy) just because her father died. The part I found heartless was your remark that a whole week had passed since her father died, as if that should be enough time to grieve the loss of a parent.
BTW, AOL keeps a totally unoffical ballot going each week as to who should win and who should lose on DANING WITH THE STARS. They have been remarkably accurate, week in and week out, as to who should leave the show. There poll also picked Cameron to leave the show, not Marie.

Well....he may be giving them what they want, but I am suffering.....and unless he takes my temperature, I won't call him Dr.

The SAWDUST AND TINSEL DVD has a three minute introduction by Ingmar Bergman. Surprisingly, the film originally got terrible reviews and was a bomb at the box-office. And because he didn't make it with the Swedish studio where he made all of his most famous works, the film has pretty much been out of circulation or limited to some lousy tapes and laserdisc.
The new Criterion disc really looks wonderful. Very sharp and excellent black and white rendering on the disc.
-
And in nipple news.
After decades of debate and controversy......indeed Miss Susan Hayward does have a wardrobe malfunction during the dance sequence of the title tune in "With a Song In My Heart."
Near the end of the dance sequence, in a medium long shot, her partner turns her, she lifts her arm over his head and voila!
For all the world to see.
-
DR Elmore. LIFE had a bump in its ratings last night, but it has finished a distant third in the timeslot almost since the beginning of the season, so NBC may let it play out the episodes they have on hand (pre-strike), but I'm not expecting it to be renewed.

Ginny, if we knew what took place in any restaurant in any city in the world; we would never eat out again.
-
I then listened to the audio commentary on the SAWDUST AND TINSEL DVD. It's by Peter Cowie who's done many commentaries for Bergman films, and it's excellent. Lots of information, delivered well, and with only a couple of silent spots.
-
Ginny, if we knew what took place in any restaurant in any city in the world; we would never eat out again.
Or even in my kitchen! :P

UGLY BETTY had an excellent episode tonight which I dearly loved. Very touching. Henry is one of my favorite characters on the show. They're giving him great stuff to do this season.
-
Really loved GREY'S ANATOMY tonight, too. Some painful high school memories combined with some interesting stories.
And we get to see Dr. McDreamy's new love interest make her first appearance. I didn't much care for her.
-
WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB didn't have as interesting an episode tonight as some others have been. Angie Harmon's real-life husband Jason Sehorn popped in for one scene. The previews for tomorrow night's episode looked a bit more promising.
-
WITH A SONG IN MY HEART was another of those great movies that I first discovered while watching Saturday Night At the Movies on NBC. I remember I was glad I was watching the movie by myself when we got to the scene with Robert Wagner as the shell-shocked soldier. I sat there blubbering away through the whole scene. It was strange, just a few years later to see almost the identical scene recreated in another Susan Hayward movie - VALLEY OF THE DOLLS.
-
Going to write for a little while and then head down to bed.
Good night!
-
WITH A SONG IN MY HEART was another of those great movies that I first discovered while watching Saturday Night At the Movies on NBC.
And yet you failed to hum the theme for me when I was in need. :)
-
Come to think of it, Robert Wagner popped up in a lot of films that were shown on Saturday Night At the Movies. Let's see, there was WITH A SONG IN MY HEART, TITANIC, and STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER. Of course, I guess there were a lot of Clifton Webb movies shown, as well.
-
And yet you failed to hum the theme for me when I was in need. :)
I honestly don't remember the theme, nor do I read music well enough to have helped. Of course, if I heard the theme I would recognize it instantly.

Back from my Brain picked meeting. It took place at a Middle Eastern restaurant - I didn't really eat, but picked at something called shwarma and some meat ball thing made out of chick peas and hummus and other deadly-looking items.

I'm back from ushering for (and seeing) the restored silent movie, "Piccadilly (http://www.amazon.com/Piccadilly-Gilda-Gray/dp/B000777HUW/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1195197029&sr=1-1)" with live organ music being played. It was very good...both the movie and the organ playing. There were a little over 200 people in the audience and most were much older than I am. :-\ They were a very appreciative audience. This is the second or third year that they've had a silent movie series, and it's getting more and more popular. A good time was had by all. :)
-
Page nine? That's it?

Well, I'm actually going to go to bed. Good night. 8)

I had a little mini fre. That should count for something, shouldn't it??

But I need to sleep....now.
