Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a mystery and green, and now it is time for you to post until the green cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: SYLLABUB!
-
Welcome six GUESTS.
-
Will we never get to page two?
-
Where in tarnation IS everyone?
-
I was brushing my teeth and attending to my evening ablutions in preparation for my beddy-bye time.
Goodnight...anyone. :)
-
Well, I'm sure I shall be toddling off to the bedroom environment for my beauty sleep.

***DIETING VIBES*** to DR Danise.
TOD: I suppose Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy would be a very different experience without Howard Shore's expansive, epic score.
-
Perfect Scores, GWTW, The Heiress, Streetcar,Psycho, Spartacus, Mockingbird, The Miracle Worker, Tom Jones, The Magnificent Seven; The Big Country has a score that's better than the flick and L.A.Confidential has a wonderful score, and the "source music", if that's the term, is perfection.:All accurate for the period and also commenting on the action.(Kay Starr singing Wheel of Fortune, just as the fortunes of the 3 protagonists go into reverse.)
-
I liked Syllabub a lot more than Uncle Charley.
-
Work today. Oh well.
TOD:
BONJOUR TRISTESSE - Georges Auric
ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN - Ronald Stein, great main theme and some rocking dance music
-
T.O.D.
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
BEN HUR
BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S
I wouldn't know a bad score if it bit me.
-
Good morning, Dear Reader Laura and DR Jrand57!
-
And now it's just TCB and me!
-
And I'm about to leave for Mr. and Mrs. Gordon and Betty Moore (and their foundation)
-
Good morning, gentlemen.
-
Today I shall go for another walk; perhaps I will have a photo or two to share.
-
Looking forward to the photos.
DR TCB....yes, BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S
-
Project Runway
Interesting challenge - I would have chosen a different winner and loser...why do producers think irritating people make good television?
-
Off to work.....at least the sun is shining a little bit.
-
Jrand - I guess because the more irritating the people are, the less need for the producers to manufacture the conflict :)
-
I have a salve (or is it a salvo) for that irritation
-
Thursday morning greetings! More conference planning today, plus some work things to get under control before I'm away from here for 11 days, starting Saturday.
-
Good morning, all! I've had several phone calls this morning, the best one being from my sister-in-law JoAnn to tell me that Lady M has been behaving badly this week and even Macbeth is showing signs of wanting her made into a rug. Of course, since she and he know where all the bodies are buried, it's a marriage sealed in hell, I couldn't be more delighted with this turn of events.
Today, more "Lady of the Slipper" attempts and, later, a bit of IRS tallying.
TOD:
Psycho
Tom Jones
-
DR Elmore....just so long as Lady M's histrionics don't impact you or your health, I'm delighted to hear about them, too! :D
-
TOD:
Perfect score perfectly married to a film: "To Kill A Mockingbird", "Psycho", "Vertigo", "Around the World in 80 Days" (1956), "The Song of Bernadette", "The Robe", "Ben-Hur", "Quo Vadis", "Spartacus", "The Umbrella of Cherbourg," "Exodus", "Sunset Boulevard", "Gone With the Wind," "Captain from Castile", "Son of Fury", "Prince of Foxes", "The Egyptian", "Anastasia", "An Affair to Remember", "Boy on a Dolphin", "The Cardinal", "Patton", "The Godfather", "Romeo and Juliet" (1968), "La Strada", "Far From the Madding Crowd", "Enchanted April". For a few.
-
Gotta get ready to get to work.

And the word of the day is: SYLLABUB!
And The Song Of The Day Is: SAVOY TRUFFLE

-
DR Elmore....just so long as Lady M's histrionics don't impact you or your health, I'm delighted to hear about them, too! :D
Thankfully, she's too screwed up to just have problems with me! I gather she's pulling one of her outrageouse lies for attention: her narcissism is limitless. JoAnn tells me there have been police out to the house checking on her claims of a break-in attempt while she was alone. Given that they live in the country, have a large and very vocal animal on the presence who lets no one near her, and there were five or six cars in the driveway, it all seems as implausible as some of her other stories in her desperate bid to be noticed. Even Macbeth knows she's pulling something. The poor bastard's stuck. Hee hee hee!

I always liked the Two Fat Ladies version: A Truffle's not a Trifle.
-
Good morning!
Slept like the dead last night and woke to find I had grossly overslept. Nice to do this once in awhile, but I guess I needed the sleep.
It's another gray day today with temperatures a bit cooler than earlier in the week.
-
The first movie that came to mind when I read the topic of the day was BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S, one of the all-time great score. And I'd add CHARADE to that, too, and TWO FOR THE ROAD. Henry Mancini had a way with scoring these sophisticated films that is truly unmatched.
-
As for dramas: THE HEIRESS, THE NUN'S STORY, SUNSET BLVD., THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, JAWS.
-
Many prime time shows are showing their last new episodes tonight: UGLY BETTY, GREY'S ANATOMY, CSI.
I'll also be watching/recording MY NAME IS EARL, 30 ROCK, SUPERNATURAL.
-
When I return from lunch today, I'll be beginning the third season box set of THE ODD COUPLE. I just adore this show and can't wait to see these episodes after so many years away from them. Looks like I'm going to be able to throw away a single videotape of episodes from its five year run that I recorded many, many years ago.
-
Two good reviews for my friend David Wannen in the NYGASP series at City Center, one for PIRATES and one for PINAFORE. I imagine the agents are sending him little notes like "wanna sign with me?"
-
Sorry- NYGASP makes me giggle for some reason. :)
-
TOD:
Albert Glasser's score from ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE has been a favorite of mine since way back when and it fits the film so well....and the score for the western DAY OF THE OUTLAW is perfect as well.
And although many dislike it, the score to PANIC IN YEAR ZERO seems to fit the film very nicely, in my opinion.
That is all I can manage to come up with this early in the morning.
-
BK, Mr. Chuck McCann, who you mention in the notes, will be at the Ray Courts Show in February. FYI.
-
Well, the Apollo Theatre is as 235 125th Street, between Frederick Douglass and Adam Clayton Powell (7th Ave.) Blvds. Patsy's is at 2287 1st Ave between 117th and 118th Streets. So... About six long blocks west and seven blocks north. A "nice" walk, or a $5.00-6.00 cab ride. :)
-There's a D.O. school in that area?
I'm sure Bryan can handle the walk, just doubt the time to make it. He will be staying with his girlfriend at Columbia University.
Touro University, the D.O. school, is a new. There are two other Touro schools. Bryan also applied to the one in Northern California.
-
Sorry- NYGASP makes me giggle for some reason. :)
How about "Balzac"?
-
I was just about to post the above response to Jose last night when our power went out & I found myself sitting in the dark. The power made a few feeble attempts to come back on last night, succeeding for a few brief minutes in the wee hours of the morning. Now it keeps threatening to go out again. I tried to call the electric company this morning but it seems we are now without phone service. I would rather not have a phone than be without heat & water while the food in the frig goes bad.
The house is warming up. I tell you, I really appreciated our big warm dog last night.
-
Hi, Ben!
-
Leave it to Jane, Jane, Jane!
-
How about "Balzac"?
;D
Now Balzac makes me guffaw! :)
-
Leave it to Jane, Jane, Jane!
I'd rather keep it for myself, myself, myself!

Good Evening, singdaw
This appears at the top of my screen.
Makes me want to break into a quick chorus of I Didn't Know What Time It Was!
-
DR Ron Pulliam, I think I'd get an even bigger kick from champagne! :)
-
You are about to strike it big in total posts, slipshod!
-
Ron, there is a Touro University not far from you, on Mare Island.
-
There used to be gi-normous Naval Air Station on Mare Island....and a very large Navy Exchange, too.
-
TPunk, GOOD LUCK with your diet & new medication.
Did the cats snuggle all night & keep you warm?
-
Ron, once you are retired can you still shop at the Navy exchange?
-
So, springjaw....whatcha waitin' for?
-
I guess I'll head down and clean the bedroom areas. I didn't get to that this morning due to oversleeping.
WBBL.

I may shop in any U.S. exchange (Navy, Army/AirForce/CoastGuard/Marine Corps) for life.

Danise, Sherlock feels fine thank you. We will have to retest to determine if the antibiotics took care of the bacteria problem. We got the results back from his allergy tests & were surprised to find he is allergic to peas, amongst other things. Not too many foods, most of which we were not feeding him to begin with, such as corn.
He is highly allergic to Oaks & grasses as well as a slew of other things in the environment. Oak is a big problem considering there are hundreds, and I mean hundreds, of oak trees outside our home.
-

Nice. Do you find good bargains & interesting items?
-
Congratulations on your new millstone, scrollsaw!
-
Nice. Do you find good bargains & interesting items?
Compared to CostCo...not really!
But then, I am never "near" an exchange facility. The drive to the closest one is far enough (gas dollar wise) to negate any saving I might enjoy on something.
The commissary is a different story, I think. If I had a large freezer, I'd shop the commissary...possibly once a month or every other month.
-
And one for Singdaw
This was the moment....this was the night....

And he did it in 10 months, too.
Why, he's the new Panni!

Well isn't THAT a lot of hot air!?!

Let us hope he doesn't turn out to be a flash in the Panni...

Let's do the time warp again department:
Betsy got an interesting email last night. They cancelled tomorrow's flight from PDX to Cincinnati to Raleigh. Instead they booked us from PDX to Cincinnati, arriving at 7 p.m., then departing Cincinnati for Raleigh. At 6 p.m. The same day. Hmmmm.....
So now we're flying to Atlanta. Oy.
-

-
Thanks, guys! :) :-*
-
Ben and Ant's computer infected ours--ours refused to start this morning and I've had to go through the new, improved (???) Vista start-up repair process. Oy.
-
Hi, Ron
-
And now I'm off to lunch.
-
Good morning, good day, how are you this beautiful day? I'm up, shaved, and shall now shower.
-
The skies are a vivid blue today.
-
And now I'm off to lunch.
I notice DR Ben studiously avoided out to lunch. :)
-
Conference planning update - a few more YESes, an important MAYBE (if we can come up with some money), and a little extension on the newsletter deadline.
-
The skies are a vivid blue today.
All the better to go with your refreshed golden locks. :)
-
DR Ginny, do you use a project management software package to keep track of all this, or good old-fashioned pencil and paper?
-
I notice DR Ben studiously avoided out to lunch. :)
Apparently, he saw that YOU were online...and knows you all-too-well!
;D
-
All the better to go with your refreshed golden locks. :)
Ah, the Mr. Teddy touch!
-
JMK-SAFE & EASY, or not too difficult, TRAVEL VIBES!
-
...and knows you all-too-well!
Is that like a fare-thee-well? ;)
-
DR Ginny, do you use a project management software package to keep track of all this, or good old-fashioned pencil and paper?
Mostly pencil & paper, DR Singdaw, with a little Word, a little email, etc. It's for an organization that we're still trying to drag, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century.
Oh, I forgot to mention the 3x5 cards - I'm a librarian, dontcha know.
-
Is that like a fare-thee-well? ;)
Only when it's directed at "my fairy fay!"
-
The morning ends, I think about you.
I talk to friends, I think about you.
And do you know, it's like I'm losing my mind?
-
And do you know
I think I do! ;)
-
I shall now be on my way to be Coifed By Teddy, after which I shall return.
-
I think I do! ;)
Great! Now riddle me THIS:
This guy who was singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day was supposed to be going to see his "Susyanna".
But one of the verses goes:
Behind the barn, Down on my knees
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
I thought I heard A chicken sneeze
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
If he was so het up on his Susyanna, what on earth was he doing on his knees back behind the barn?
-
I shall now be on my way to be Coifed By Teddy, after which I shall return.
The Teddy touch!
The Teddy Teddy Touch!
The Teddy Touch!
The Mighty Teddy Touch!
(riff on The Midas Touch..."Bells Are Ringing")
-
I shall now be on my way to be Coifed By Teddy, after which I shall return.
And on my way home from work tonight, I'm going to be Coifed by Tina.
-
I was Coiffed by Susan yesterday! :D
-
How'd you like a little coif, Mister (almost a sweeney todd reference)

-
TOD - I don't know if it counts as a score, but the soundtrack to The Big Chill is, to me, perfection. Also like the score to An Officer and a Gentleman.

I know that you who fly more than I do (which is all of you, LOL) are probably used to this, but how stupid is it that you can't bring a regular tube of toothpaste on a flight? Are they afraid of a Parent Trap (Hayley Mills version) attack?
-
Thanks for the vibes, Jane & George (a Jetsons reference). I am not world's calmest flyer, as you may already know.
-
I'm sure Bryan can handle the walk, just doubt the time to make it. He will be staying with his girlfriend at Columbia University.
Touro University, the D.O. school, is a new. There are two other Touro schools. Bryan also applied to the one in Northern California.
Ah, that's right, she goes to CU. Hmm... There's a new location of "Community Food & Juice" that opened right on the CU strip. A good place for a good meal. Great brunches, and some pretty good baked goods - since the place is run by the same folks who operate The Clinton St. Baking Company.
*And there's that great little Hungarian Strudel/Pasty shop by the Cathedral.

I know that you who fly more than I do (which is all of you, LOL) are probably used to this, but how stupid is it that you can't bring a regular tube of toothpaste on a flight? Are they afraid of a Parent Trap (Hayley Mills version) attack?
What I find stupid about that rule is that even though a toothpaste tube may only have about 1/2 ounce worth of toothpaste in it, if the tube itself originally held more than 3 ounces, then the TSA is required to confiscate it. -I saw this happen a few times when I was traveling during Christmas. In any case...
As long as it's packed in your checked baggage, you'll be fine.
*And a friend of mine pointed out to me that a bunch of the high-end cosmetic lines have re-packaged and re-sized their "small sizes" in the 2.7 ounce range in order to prevent the "trauma" caused by someone having to throw out their $200+ tube of moisturizer.
-
DR JMK - So... What's your final itinerary now?
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
"Like Water For Chocolate"
"Cinema Paradiso"

We're just doing carry-on to hopefully expedite things. My sis in NC is picking up all the toiletries we can't bring so that we don't have to shop that night.
-
...And I also like the Beatles' covers that were used for "I Am Sam".
-
DR JMK - So... What's your final itinerary now?
We leave at the veritable crack tomorrow and arrive in Atlanta (oy) at around 2. Then have a couple of hours there, departing Atlanta at around 4:30 with an arrival in Raleigh at 5:45. We've done Atlanta before and it is not my favorite airport. ;D
-
Hmm... I'm due for a Coiffing myself, but I guess I should call down to see if Chelsea Barber has reopened yet after their re-modeling.
-
Check out this story (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/10/theater/10driver.html?_r=1&8dpc&oref=slogin) about how a "former" Marine is trying to bring a little "culture" to the Corps!
-
As for last night's "Project Runway"...
I wasn't too sure about the winner either, however, I thought that this episode seemed more angst-filled than the others. And the angst wasn't even that "fun". ;)
-
Hmm... I'm due for a Coiffing myself, but I guess I should call down to see if Chelsea Barber has reopened yet after their re-modeling.
I will be coiffed by Yuri (a Russian man) sometime next week.

;D ;D
I've taken half a tube & got away with it because my toothpaste is for sensitive teeth. It is safer to take a travel size, I just got a very nice person who let me through with multiple extras.
-
And to do my part to bring a little "more" culture to these here parts, I highly recommend THIS RECORDING (http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Hanson-Symphony-Samuel-Concerto/dp/B000002RP7/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1199989283&sr=1-10) as something I find extraordinarily satisfying and beautiful!

Thanks. The juice place sounds like something Bryan will like. He does like pastries but will likely pass on those-always watching his figure & eating healthy. Plus, if he gains weight his one & only suit for interviews won't fit. ;D
-
Yes, that IS a lovely recording, DR Ron Pulliam. :)

That's one of my earliest CD purchases and still one of my most-prized ones.
Oliveira's recording of the Barber Violin Concerto has been repackaged a few times with other Barber orchestral works, but I don't think that Slatkin's recording of the Hanson is available in any other coupling right now.
I also like Gil Shaham's recording of the Barber on DG which is coupled with Korngold's own Violin Concerto and "Much Ado About Nothing" suite.

Perhaps Teddy will give bk a "new" look, thus:

JMK, it is nice of your sister to shop for you.
The contact solution came in a nice small travel size. Unfortunately it was discontinued. The solution I use now only has the small bottles in their sample size, & those are hard to come by.

DR JEANNE,
Thanks for your suggestion re: the homeopathic meds for my back pain.
I was not able to go out, since i was in pain. :(
My back is feeling better (it's been one week) in some ways. But anytime i try to lift anything (even something small like a full glass of water) it hurts.
And being in a car can still be quite bad.
So i called the health food store nearest to me and gave them the name of the meds you suggested. They said they had them and that they thought it would help.
However, when the person picking up the meds got to the store there was a different homeopath on duty. And he said that while what you suggested would be good. He had something that he thought would be better: Rhus Toxicodendron .
I told him exactly how my injury occured. ANd he explained how much he loved Arnica (what you had suggested). but he just thought that the rhus toxicodendron would be better in my case. So that is what i got.
HE gave specific instructions about dissolving them under my tongue (3 at a time). And he said to do it once (with a neutral mouth)(no food remnants and washed out).
Then he said to do that again in 4 hours.
HE also said that i could only take it for 2 days.
But that it was feeling at all better the 2nd day then not to take it that day. But if it was just a touch better than to do it.
I figure i will wait to see how it is tomorrow. And then maybe i will call and ask if i should take it again.
He also mentioned that it can be quite harmful to take it for more than 2 days. Which sort of freaked me out, since i thought the whole point of these things was that they were all natural and less toxic.
I was just wondering what you thought. and thanks.

Not stupid at all - ever heard of binary explosives?
TOOTHPASTE BOMB INSTRUCTIONS (http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2006_08/009357.php)
In other words, TATP is dangerous stuff. But the airline bombers weren't planning to take TATP aboard their flights. They were planning to take its liquid precursors on board and then mix them together while the plane was in the air. That's why we're not allowed to pack gels or liquids in our carry-on bags anymore.

DR Ginny, do you use a project management software package to keep track of all this, or good old-fashioned pencil and paper?

Wow, that first version of Finale looks awful.
And when he did his own recording recording and they published the final Scottish Opera edition of the vocal score, he rewrote it again.

TOTD:
I have a few favourite scores from movies but I am not usually aware of them in the movie unless they are bad!
Stage Beauty
Moulin Rouge (The Baz version)
Notes on a Scandel

What a lovely surprise to come home to. Thanks for posting it, FJL (who actually called me in the car to tell me). I'm back from Teddy and I am so kempt it's frightening. Teddy had news that he and several others will be moving to the new Sally Hershberger salon, one block away, sometime in March.

Dr. Zhivago first springs to mind.
SPEAKING OF SCORES ... The score (by that I mean the orchestrations and arrangements) for Sweeney Todd was better than the movie. IMHO.

I'm waxing nostalgic, and beg your indulgence:
"Hello In There"
We had an apartment in the city.
Me and my husband liked living there.
It's been years since the kids have grown,
a life of their own, left us alone.
John and Linda live in Omaha.
Joe is somewhere on the road.
We lost Davy in the Korean war.
I still don't know what for, don't matter any more.
You know that old trees just grow stronger,
and old rivers grow wilder every day,
but old people, they just grow lonesome
waiting for someone to say,
"Hello in there. Hello"
Me and my husband, we don't talk much anymore.
He sits and stares through the backdoor screen.
And all the news just repeats itself
like some forgotten dream
that we've both seen.
Someday I'll go and call up Judy.
We worked together at the factory.
Ah, but what would I say when she asks what's new?
Say, "Nothing, what's with you?
Nothing much to do."
You know that old trees just grow stronger,
and old rivers grow wilder every day,
ah, but, but old people, they just grow lonesome
waiting for someone to say,
"Hello in There. Hello."
So if you're walking down the street sometime
and you should spot some hollow ancient eyes,
don't you pass them by and stare
as if you didn't care.
Say, "Hello in there. Hello."

I did not read "pet" as a verb. (It's not used often in that sense in OZ).
Verbally, here in the U.S., "pet" is to caress, hug or to "make out" (i.e, he's in his "petting" phase!)
Of course, there is always the uppity princess who "gets into a 'pet'" (a sulk or grumpy mood).

You expect me to find references suggesting that our bureaucrats never make absurd policy?

Just heard that songwriter LEW SPENCE passed away. He wrote (with Marilyn & Alan Bergman) Nice 'n' Easy , Sleep Warm, Ol' MacDonald. Here's a link to an interview I did with him on the Cabaret West website back in 2001 http://cabaretwest.org/d_lewspence.html (http://cabaretwest.org/d_lewspence.html).

Thanks Ron. "petting" and "making out" are "Americanisms" to us. I was not even aware of the "grumpy mood" use of the word.
-
My listening pleasure today (OK so I'm a day early):
"Kismet" - Rush Ann Svenson & Jerry Hadley. "And This Is My Beloved"
I love this recording of the score.
I'm looking forward to the release of the movie version in a few months time. (I hope I can purchase it without the others in the set)
-
Whatever warm weather we were supposed to get today never arrived. It was rainy, cold, and fairly miserable. Ugh!
I did have a nice lunch out with best friend John, however, who's just returned from a vacation in Vail with his family.
-
It's going to be another hot day.
Possibly up to 40 degrees C again today - and I am going to see the Dentist.
A little day of horrors.
-
I began my afternoon of viewing with last night's PROJECT RUNWAY.
I did not like the winner's dress much. In fact, I thought many of the dresses were too short for prom dresses, but as I haven't been to a prom in 40 years, perhaps I'm out of the loop.
I was very unhappy for the loser as I thought the dress was not anything the judges said it was, and it was interesting, colorful, and fun. I would have sent Ricky home (short light tan dress with a band of beads at the waist.) I thought it showed the least imagination.
As for Christian's almost-losing creation, he was at one disadvantage: he was BARELY older than the girl he was designing for. It's a lot easier to tell a child NO when you're 40 than when you're only a few years older and look about the same age (and have the same demeanor). I figured he wouldn't be sent home, however, since his dres, despite its overdone quality, really showed a lot of imagination and careful attention to detail (even though the back of it was pretty bad).
-
Next I watched last night's CSI: NY. DR MBarnum, Matt Battaglia was one of the suspects playing a doctor. Looked good (even though through make-up his face was scratched by having a broom being dragged across it repeatedly.)
There were two cases and interesting but not riveting ones.
-
Next, I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. No gay characters today and they weren't in the previews for tomorrow either.
-
Next, I began the third season box set of THE ODD COUPLE. Just as funny as I remembered it being.
The season opener I might have only seen once in my life before. Oscar signs up for computer dating. He fills his application with lots of lies and then gets paired with Felix's ex-wife. This was the first episode that featured Elinor Donahue as Felix's new girl friend Miriam.
-
I am forever missing Matt Battaglia's appearances! I used to get an e-mail update from him whenever he was going to be in something...but nothing in the last few years...how does he expect his fans to keep up!
-
The second episode featured Howard Cosell as a guest star. Cosell and Oscar have a running feud going, and Felix gets caught in the middle of it.
Years ago when I interviewed Tony Randall, he told me that the episodes where ABC forced them to use ABC personalities in guest roles to beef up ratings were the episodes he most despised. I thought of that the entire time I was watching this episode which certainly was funny. He buried his resentment well. Cosell was no actor. You can tell he's reading most of his lines off cue cards.
-

I had no idea he was going to be on, so seeing his name in the guest star credits was a happy surprise.

The reviews for The Little Mermaid are coming in.
From amNew York:
Terrible direction. Awful new songs. Unnecessary rewrites. Adults bored. Children confused. In spite of Sebastian's seductive plea, stay far away from the sea!
From the London Financial Times:
The Little Mermaid barged on to Broadway this week - and neither sank nor swam. It is perhaps fitting for a fairy tale focused on a hybrid life form that its musical incarnation should be so thoroughly neither-nor. It's not squarely for children (too slow at times), yet definitely not built for adults (too lacking in wit). It is neither a travesty of the 1989 animated Disney feature on which it is based nor a successful re-imagining.
-
And the word of the day is: SYLLABUB!

Bruno is down to one location right now. They closed their Bleecker Street (Pastiscceria Bruno) location last year. However, their location on La Guardia Place on the eastern end of the West Village is still open.
Their new website is: http://www.pasticceriabruno.com/ (http://www.pasticceriabruno.com/)
Thank you. If Bryan doesn't make it there, which I expect, I have to have them ship me some marzipan.

DR Jane - If it's marzipan you're looking for, the "fruits" at Veniero's (http://www.venierospastry.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=V&Category_Code=4G) are pretty good too.

Just received an email from S'More Entertainment telling me that the upcoming DANNY THOMAS SHOW/MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY DVD Season Six release is taken from the Original Broadcast Elements with the Original Opening Titles....and will include recent interviews with Sid Melton, Marjorie Lord, and Angela Cartwright conducted just for the Set....and a 10 minute Out Takes reel.
This probably includes the very funny Annette-Danny Thomas scenes and the Angela Cartwright ALPHA BETS commercial filmed in front of the studio audience that made Danny mime shooting himself in the head after a few takes....
"Put the coat down, Angela.....".....and a hula hoop!

Dinner time!
And a check of the LOVELY surprises that arrived today from DR MBARNUM!!!
-
TCM really seems to be losing it these days. First they announce a letterbox showing of Skidoo, only to show a pan and scan print. Today, they listed Our Time, and because I worked with its leading lady (Betsy Slade) and haven't seen it since it came out, I thought I'd TIVO it. The listing was Our Time, Pamela Sue Martin and Betsy Slade, and the plot of the film. I wen to check the opening credits and instead of Our Time I got In Our Time, a movie with Ida Lupino and Paul Henried from the 40s. How do you make a stupid mistake like that? First of all, they're doing a Paul Henried day - so wouldn't you think that would clue someone in that a movie with Pamela Sue Anderson and Betsy Slade didn't fit the pattern?

I was just about to post the above response to Jose last night when our power went out & I found myself sitting in the dark. The power made a few feeble attempts to come back on last night, succeeding for a few brief minutes in the wee hours of the morning. Now it keeps threatening to go out again. I tried to call the electric company this morning but it seems we are now without phone service. I would rather not have a phone than be without heat & water while the food in the frig goes bad.
The house is warming up. I tell you, I really appreciated our big warm dog last night.
Perhaps you should pay your bills! ;)

I don't necessarily know if this show would be your cup of tea. But it is my favorite new show of the Fall Season.

I believe they are going to be reairing the entire season starting either next monday or the monday after.

...And for tonight's dinner, I started off by making an Asian-influenced Turkey Burger (seasoned with diced jalapeno, garlic, ginger, white onion, scallions, soy sauce, "Rooster" sauce, salt and pepper), but after grilling them and tasting them, they came out more Persian tasting. Which actually worked well with the rice pilaf and steamed broccoli I made. Next time, I should add a splash of sesame oil.
In any case...

And Frederick Lane (also Lehne) was guest star on "Criminal Minds" and was terrific as a mafia witness protection dad whose daughter gets taken.

Not yet, nor have I seen it....
Those of you who have actually seenit (since most of you had not at the time of my intial question) what do you think? Yea or Nay?
I have been hearing that the throat slittings scenes are really horrifically graphic. The Vixter has a very vivid imagination and I would prefer that she sleeps at night rather than lie awake with every light in the house blazing ;D

I'd say the throat slittings are certainly graphic, but Im not sure I would describe them as "horrifically". They're purposely over-the-top, so... And the color of the blood is purposely "bright", so...
Are there any clips on YouTube yet? ;)
If the vixter knows going in what the movie is all about, then that should make it easier for her - and you - when she leaves the movie.

Continued watching THE ODD COUPLE. These are such funny shows, and the teamwork between Randall and Klugman is magnificent each and every episode. They're amazing together. Nothing anything like this now on TV.
I'm already on disc 2 (of 4) in the set.
-
Favorite ODD COUPLE TV moment: You got tickets to KISS MY FACE?
-
Well I have been scanning the GALE STORM SHOW episodes sent to me by DR MBARNUM looking for hot men and dance numbers. I found many more of the latter than the former.
One episode was photographed by the uncle of DR JEANNE and featured a performance by the cousin of DRJANE's DH KEITH - Mr Ben Weldon.
-
I found the throat slashings rather numbingly graphic to be honest (I have a very vivid imagination and believe everything I see at the movies; I'm not one of those people who can tell himself that it's only a movie), and the revulsion intensified by the bodies then sliding down the chute and hitting the floor head first with necks snapping, etc. Now, I think that's EXACTLY what they should have been with this material and with this director. But it is VERY graphic.
Honestly, DR Vixmom, I'd wait four months for the DVD and then view it yourself first and make the decision. It's not like she's NEVER going to get to see it. So she has to wait a few months? It won't kill her. (Bad joke; I know.)

DR JENNIFER - perhaps you are the target audience. I like to think I can enjoy something if it's well done, even if it's not for me. I even like things are AREN'T done well, if they have something else going for them.
GOSSIP GIRL - or at least the little bit I saw - seemed to be a by the numbers chance for great looking young people with little or no acting ability to stand around in great clothes and pretend to suffer....but maybe it got better in the scene I didn't watch.

Favorite ODD COUPLE TV moment: You got tickets to KISS MY FACE?
I have so many favorite moments I can't name them all. First that comes to mind:
Reta Shaw playing Claire Frost, the cleanest cook and maid in the world whom Felix hires as Oscar's nanny.
Oscar's reaction: "When you said you were going to hire a nanny, I thought she'd be cute, sweet (starts singing a little bit of "Supercalifragilistic"). Instead you send me the Beast of Bayonne."

UGLY BETTY had a wonderful episode tonight, and it wasn't the last one yet. They advertised another episode for next week. Hooray!
-
It was definitely the last GREY'S that they've filmed. Superb drama, loved everything that happened.
So it's likely to be George and Lexie getting together, first as roommates and then falling for each other. I can see them working out.
-
At 10, I watched tonight's episode of SUPERNATURAL. It was a very clever and pretty scary riff on Grimm's fairy tales.
Least favorite moment. When Sam is reminding Dean of the story of Cinderella, and Dean replies, "Could you be any more gay?" Cheap shot. Very cheap.

Alas, I believe next week's episode is the "last" one. :-\
*So... Will there be a February sweeps period this year?

...I think I lost track of all the cliffhangers. ;)

I think I may take your advice MattH. The Vixter is the same way.. she knows its a movie but all the same its all too real to her

Loved the shoes. Loathed the show.

Not with regularly scheduled shows but with the new line-ups featuring new series, midseason series, and tons and tons of reality and game shows.

Dr Singdaw - my condolences to you, your DH and his family. I can almost see South Dakota from here, but Aberdeen is a long way away.
-
I guess I'll head downstairs to bed now.
Good night!

I don't have anything else to say.

But I just have to wonder how having so many new shows up during sweeps will affect the advertising rates that the networks normally ask for and get - and determine - for the rest of the season, and the fall.

Congrats Singdaw on 10,000

The AP was "friendly".

...And the review in "Variety" also gave me a few chuckles.

I've seen about six, some of the worst reviews I've ever read.
