Nobody here but us chickens.

Oh, and these six GUESTS. Any uppity director/producer/co-writers out there?

Happy Birthday DR Matthew - Hope to see you here on your B-day.

One of my cats has been bugging me this morning so I got up and she ran into the kitchen. I thought she might be hungry, although I left out plenty of food last night.
Apparently we didn't lock the back door last night after viewing the eclipse and it was wide open!
No wonder it seemed rather cold in the house!
-
Happy Happy Birthday, DR Matthew!
-
Good morning, all! My first agenda this morning is a trek to my storage space. After that, some writing here ad perhaps some affixing of shipping labels to cartons.
My friend Matthew Brookshire is performing tonight in the Village at 7:30, and I want to get get to his show.
I found the PWOJECT WUNWAY reunion its usual shallow self: too many clips - especially of Ricky's endlessly moronic chapeaus, all equally silly - when I'd rather hear the designers talking/bitching. I did love Michael Kors' WWE design "breakdown" and I'd even forgotten several of the early designers who had been sent packing.

We watched Ang Lee's Lust, Caution last evening. I found it very haunting. But, DR Jane, there is some graphic violence!
Well, and some graphic...other things, as well. At least, in the NC-17 version.

Happy happy birthday DR Matthew

Well, I shall be heading down to the Studios of Chelsea shortly for another day of Billy Elliot casting. I know a bunch of people coming in today and tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to the whole process.
I'm supposed to see The Adding Machine with my friend, Chris, tonight, but I've reserved the right to just head out somewhere for dinner after my auditions instead of to the theatre depending upon how my day goes. Thankfully, he's getting industry comps, so if we don't end up going to see the show tonight, it's not like he'll be out any money. As always, we shall see.

In other news...
I wonder if PBS sent out a "pre-bleeped" feed of Company last night, or if the bleeping was left up to each local PBS affiliate to handle on their own.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR MATTHEW

Thursday morning greetings! No meetings or presentations today and no morning commute weather angst. I'm looking forward to a day at my desk, getting ready for next week's 3 presentations. There may be some evening commute weather angst - perhaps my book group won't meet tonight after all?

Happiest of birthdays to DR Matthew!

TOD:
Well, there's that classic 1994 film that DR MBarnum is probably all too familiar with:
Shree Shree Rajadhiraja Shree Shree Madana Kamaraja Shree Shree Vilasa Raja Shree Shree Madhubana Raja Shree Shree Krishnadeva Donga Raja

My favorite film title is Snakes on a Plane - because it instantly gave me the information that I did not want to see this film!

DR Jose: Re: yesterday evening's question about staying free "across the bridge" in the Bay Area and whether it would be comparable to actually staying IN San Francisco, I have to say it totally depends upon how convenient said free lodgings are to the BART. BART makes all the difference.

I was also quite underwhelmed with the women on IDOL. I'm glad i just ffed through the parts i did not want to watch.
It was interesting though seeing some of the original auditions (before each girl went on).
A few of them were not really seen in Hollywood. So i did not remember them. But when they showed their auditions i did remember seeing those. So at least they did get a tiny bit of coverage.
In particular the girl kady malloy (who they said was the best they had seen in auditions), and allaina (sp?) the 16 yr old blonde (who simon had said in the audition that she wasn't as good as she thought she was).
At least it was nice to be able to remember those comments and put them with a face.
I had loved carly in her original audition and in hollywood (the irish singer). So hopefully she will do better.
I think that brunette (is her name amy?) will probably go. She didn't do well. and i don't remember her being featured on the show.
They seem to really like that really small girl (remi or something?).
And simon loves that black girl with the busy hair (her name is something like saiesha). Sorry i am so bad with the names.
In their first auditions i had really liked brooke (with the wavy blonde hair who sang the happy song) and the first blonde girl (who totally did not impress me last night).

TV Reminders:
No SMALLVILLE tonight. Two episodes of SUPERNATURAL, a rerun at 8 and the last new episode for awhile at 9.
LOST and ELI STONE on ABC. Can't wait for them!
Of course, SURVIVOR for those interested on CBS.
-
To answer your question from last night bk, all PBS stations formulate their own schedules based on local needs and their ability to pay for the programming being offered by PBS.
As I said yesterday, we have three PBS stations in my area, and only one chose to show COMPANY last night. Another is showing it tonight at 9 (and repeating it on Saturday night at 10). The third station does not have it scheduled at all.

Sorry, I'll post more coherently after I recover from seeing the following two statements in the same paragraph

I'll be continuing to watch HUMAN GIANT episodes today. Hope to finish with it by the end of the evening. With the commercials removed, the shows run less than 20 minutes each!

I am still recovering from DR RLP's pictorial collage from last evening! :P
-
I feel kind of guilty not watching the films in the stack that will be up for some Oscars on Sunday night. However, if I do finish HUMAN GIANT today, I'll be able to get INTO THE WILD watched at least by Sunday. (It's 146 minutes long with commentary and other bonuses, so it will take some time to get through it all.)

Elan, you just cracked me up! LOL!

Someone should put together a taxi cab company and call it Mary. It would give "Hailing Mary" a fun, new meaning.
I mean, let's face it, "Hailing Checkers" sounds like someone is calling a cocker spaniel.

How sad about Ben Chapman. Did he play the creature in all three films, DR MBarnum?
Just in the first film...Tom Hennesey played him in REVENGE OF THE CREATURE and Don Megowen played him in THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US. Ricou Browning played the underwater scenes in all three films.
I just love those movies! And the creature costume is so cool!
-
DR JANE - Ben was the GillMan on land in only the original film, others got into the costume for the two sequels.
Ben used to be very upset when Ricou Browning who SWAM in the Creature costume would sign his name to stills of Ben standing on the ground.
Ben Chapman and his sister would do a Tahitian Dance Act at the Mocambo and they would often be joined onstage by his good friend Johnny Sheffield, then playing Bomba at the Monogram Studios.
Johnny said that Ben taught him how to surf and dance. Ben was six and half feet tall. Johnny also said that the three things that kept him in shape in those days were dancing, swimming, and sex and that he and Ben cut quite a path through the town in those days.
They must have made quite a pair wondering around town.

The title Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines or How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours 11 Minutes gives the movie-goer a pretty good idea what the film is about.
Conversely, the title Pink Flamingoes does not.
-
Nobody here but us chickens.
And pigs.

Oddly enough, I don't think I ever went to a movie 'cause of the title. It was either the cast, trailer, genre, boredom, etc. One book, BOOKS DO FURNISH A ROOM, I would have picked up, but it's a title in the series DANCE TO THE MUSIC OF TIME, so I just read it in the spot where it came in. I also purchased the Brit TV version of said novel-series, but haven't had a time to watch it yet. I did notice some irregular bleeping on COMPANY on PBS last night, 1/2 of Jesus Christ and one asshole, but it was definitely hit or miss.Re the HAIL MARY, Wikepedia or the new catechism might provide more info, but part is direct from Luke's gospel, where the angel Gabriel says Hail full of grace, The Lord is with thee.This is the Annunciation, subject of so many glorious(and some very bad)paintings...The phrase mother of God, comes from one of the early Echumenical councils where it was debated whether it was better to call Mary, the Mother of Jesus, or was mother of God, a kosher title;It was decided that since the Church acknowledged Jesus as God, it was proper to call Mary Mother of God(Theotokos)this is a long post so I'l let someone else post the whole prayer, but Mary was a nice Jewish girl from Nazareth, so it's fine for a nice Jewish boy from LA to say Hail,Mary.Now I'm leaving the Library and I'll be listening to all Frank Loesser Cds on the Stereo.
-
Mostly titles were listed for the week on the TV page and the titles would make me watch or skip movies that day.
Anticipation was great on Saturday, when you had to wait until the NEXT Friday to see:
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman
It Conquered the World
Them!
I was A Teen Age Werewolf (Frankenstein)

And Lust in the Dust was totally overkill as a title...it never delivered! :)
-
And as DR MATTH mentioned tonight is LOST and ELI STONE.
I watched Joan Crawford in SADIE MCKEE and TORCH SONG last night. Interesting. Early Joan - she sure was determined! And I listened to the painful TORCH SONG recording session....take after take after take....

JRand, thank you for the photo of the young and handsome Ben, as well as the personal info.
It still doesn't tell me if MBarnum wrote the mini bio (or is this your way of saying you did?). It sound like our Mikey, especially this little comment: "One of nature's true gentleman."

Mary was a nice Jewish girl from Nazareth, so it's fine for a nice Jewish boy from LA to say Hail,Mary.
Exactly why I have no problems celebrating the birthday of Mary's, nice Jewish, son. Easter on the other hand I rationalized as a celebration of spring and bunnies.

Wrong. It delivered the second half reasonably well.

Oh, and as for the TOD:
Movie titles never really mattered to me one way or the other, but I do have a funny story about a show title. The Lovely Wife(tm) and I went to see Naked Boys Singing when a good friend of ours was in it (TLW swears that her eyes were closed during all of his scenes), and seated in front of us was a neighbor of ours who... well, let's just say that we always wondered why he got divorced from his wife. Obviously somewhat uncomfortable with us seeing him there, he turned to us during intermission and said, "I just got my ticket through <*name of papering service*> I had no idea what this show was about!"
Now, I grant you that many a title can mislead, but I don't believe that there has ever been a more clearly-expressed show title in the history of drama...
-

eh, if only he'd stayed out of his father's business... :)

DR JANE - the young picture in my post was Johnny Sheffield. I couldn't a young picture of Ben, but he was quite handsome.
I don't think DRMBARNUM wrote that mini bio - I don't recognize the name signed to it, but who knows?

Question for Jrand and MBarnum: Have either of you ever seen the original movie in 3-D?
One of the TV stations in Indianapolis aired 3-D movies a couple of times back in the early 1980s. You could get 3-D glasses at 7-11s and other stores.
I quite enjoyed it!

In High School, as a fund raiser, there was a showing of THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON in 3-D...it was great fun as I recall, and it seemed to be a hit at Phoenix High School.
-
Well, I finally did it.
I got the proper research done, and according to this here website (http://www.ruralareavet.org/PDF/Physical_Exam-How_to_Determine_Sex.pdf), JJ's proper pronoun is "he."
It's something they didn't teach us at Burbank High.
-
As for the TOD:
Prior to my discovering TV Guide, as a kid I would look at the TV listings in the newspaper which gave only the title, no plot, for the movies that were to play in the coming days.
ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE was one film whose title caught my eye when I was in the second grade. I was fascinated by puppets, so of course I had to see this movie.
The rest is history.

That's the only time I saw it in 3-D, and what with wearing eyeglasses and all, it wasn't quite the same I am sure as seeing it in a theatre.
There are several interviews with both Sheffield and Chapman around on the net if you want to search. Tom Hennessey also gave a good interview to Scarlet Street magazine a few years ago....he had some scandalous things to say about Clint Walker - especially since Tom's wife divorced him to marry his good friend Clint. ::)

ROTFLOL! JJ must be a neutered cat if you had such a difficult time determining his sex.
-
Thanks for all the great birthday wishes. Yes, I'm working, but we're having a good time singing songs about "love", as I was ill for Valentine's day. I can't think of a better way to spend the day, HHW, school and a Seussical dress rehearsal. It doesn't get much better than that.
Although, the DP is taking me to see the newest Cirque show "Kooza" on Sunday and lovely dinner in downtown San Jose. That's something to look forward to.
In the meantime - Oh the thinks you can think!
-
Well, JJ is still fairly young.
And I really didn't know what to look for. I'm so used to dogs.
And I did, after all, go to Burbank High.
::)
-
ROTFLOL! JJ must be a neutered cat if you had such a difficult time determining his sex.
I have never held a female kitten, so I wouldn't know whether there was anything tell-tale. But I've been the adopted dad to a boy kitten and even when he was neutered, there wasn't any doubt as to his gender.
-
Hi, Jo!

The celebration sounds like fun, DR MATTHEW.
My friend Adam saw the friend of DR NOEL in THE WEDDING SINGER and thought he was great....the show not so much.

Favorite Movies:
DOUBLE INDEMNITY: excellent story, writing, direction and acting by Stanwyck and MacMurray. I have seen the movie innumerable times and I still enjoy it. It never fails to entertain me. I introduced one of my student workers to this film and she is now a fan of Miss Stanwyck.
WATER: very spiritual in nature and an Indian film that I greatly enjoy. Surreal in spots
WORST:
TALLEDEGA NIGHTS : my comments on this film would not be permissible on the board

DR Ron Pulliam - Well, thank ye kindly. :)
But even I have to do some work-related activity occasionally. ;)

Shrimp bisque.
Yummers! :)

Good Afternoon!
Well, they are currently going through the "physical expression" part of the audition -in other words, no music required. So...

Just a semi-random question...
Just what is it about theatres, hotels and office buildings that make people forget how to count and/or the order of the alphabet?
"I'm looking for room 506."
-Well, this is 505, and 506 is right next door to your left.
"How many doors down is that?"
???

DR Ron Pulliam - Ah, The BART! Thanks for reminding me! :)
-
As for saying a "Hail, Mary"... Well, when I was in high school we learned the Our Father, The Hail Mary and a few other prayers in both English and Latin. The English versions are still pretty much carved in the figurative stone of my brain. The Latin versions, well... those pretty much went by the wayside after the quiz was done. ;)

Another sad news report: Ben Chapman, who played THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (in scenes that took place on land) died this morning.
I met him several years ago and he was quite a nice guy...and quite tall, too!

I'm having my same old boring salad with some cooked chicken and a plethora of onions to keep my co-workers at bay.

WORST:
TALLEDEGA NIGHTS : my comments on this film would not be permissible on the board
I caught this on TBS (or Universal or HBO???) in HD a couple of weeks ago. I laughed really hard. I highly recommend it for its parody on NASCAR stereotypes. None of it is meant to be taken seriously at all.

DR Ron Pulliam - Ah, The BART! Thanks for reminding me! :)
As long as you will be contented to go into San Francisco, the BART rules. If you're going to be around for "a while" and have an interest n exploring the East Bay, you'll need wheels.

Question for Jrand and MBarnum: Have either of you ever seen the original movie in 3-D?
One of the TV stations in Indianapolis aired 3-D movies a couple of times back in the early 1980s. You could get 3-D glasses at 7-11s and other stores.
I quite enjoyed it!
You didn't ask me, but I have a story.
Back in the early 1980s when studios were cranking out a new wave of 3-D movies, some of the old ones started being reissued for daytime and midnight showings.
I went to a midnight showing of CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON in 3-D, and it was just wonderful. I never dreamed I'd get to see any of the old 3-D films in a theater since they hit right before I was old enough to go to the movies alone, but I got to see HOUSE OF WAX, DIAL 'M' FOR MURDER, GORILLA AT LARGE, and CREATURE in theatrical 3-D. (I kept hoping KISS ME KATE or HONDO would be brought back, but neither was.)
-

I agree. I howled at much of it. Of course, having grown up in the heart of NASCAR my whole life, the mentality kind of comes with the territory even if one isn't a fan.

I'm on earlier this afternoon than usual because I have a guest arriving at 5, and I didn't want to be upstairs on the computer when he arrives.

I spent all afternoon watching more episodes of HUMAN GIANT. Continues to make me laugh a lot. The three comedians are really funny guys taking on a lot of ricidulous characters, and I'm enjoying these episodes so much. Rob Huebel is also very cute.
-
I forgot to mention tonight on TV also is the IDOL results show at 8. I'll be recording and speeding through to get to the announcements at the half hour and the end of the show.

Back to HUMAN GIANT, I have finished the first disc in the set (8 episodes). I'll start on the second disc this evening.

I went to a movie beause of its title and theme song "Bless The Beasts and the Children" I liked the song a lot better.
Went to see Teenage Graffitti because Ithought it was a sequel to American Graffitti. I walked out of it. BORING!!!
-
And, now, a lull...
As for the Topic of the Day...
"The Brown Bunny" - The brown bunny of the title had little to do with the subject matter of the movie. Alas, I knew that going into the theatre, but, sadly, that didn't stop me from going into the theatre. A true case of curiosity killing the proverbial cat. And that was truly one slow, agonizing, drawn out, boring(!) death. OY!!!!!!!!
"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad.... World", on the other hand, truly lived up to it's title.

When I was a tad, Easter was the time of giving live baby animals to young children to neglect to death. As I have previously reminisced, my folks didn't support the "neglect" routine and so were saddled with growing numbers of ducks, chickens, and rabbits.

Just a semi-random question...
Just what is it about theatres, hotels and office buildings that make people forget how to count and/or the order of the alphabet?
"I'm looking for room 506."
-Well, this is 505, and 506 is right next door to your left.
"How many doors down is that?"
???
Well, if you were in Cabin 505, and somebody wanted Cabin 506, they would have to go to the other side of the ship.
(Even - port, odd, starboard; oh, and port is left, starboard right - and after oh-so-many years I still have to remember that port, even, and left all have four letters; and port running lights are red, like the wine)

Not good. Obviously, any rain is better than none, but the levels continue to decrease and now we're looking at other options---building more reservoirs, etc. We really should have been thinking about this, oh, say 10 years ago! They have relaxed the watering restrictions a tiny bit in our county, but we still have lost a lot of wonderful plants and my very favorite rhododendron, which was so glorious last year.
People may not be planting many more rhododendrons in the future. Although they grow wild in the mountains on hillsides, they seem to be very drought intolerant, so it doesn't look good for their future. :'(

For DearReaderLaura:
Are you looking for a guest preacher to perk up your Sunday services?
Might I suggest Paul Wirth, Lead Pastor of RELEVANT CHURCH (http://www.relevantchurch.com/)?
He says:
People are not having enough sex. An epidemic of breakups prove the needs that lead to a great sex life are being overlooked. Dirty dishes, frumpy clothes, and a lack of authentic connections are killing the romance. A great sex life is a challenge and takes focus, determination, and planning. Some say it’s an unrealistic goal, but we disagree. We believe you can have a great sex life, in fact we believe God wants you to have a great sex life.
Relevant Church is proposing a challenge encouraging married couples to purposely engage in sexual activity for 30 days and singles to intentionally forgo sexual activity for 30 days.

We really should have been thinking about this, oh, say 10 years ago!
Here, in "forward looking" Sussex county, the city of Rehoboth Beach is under a Federal Court order to stop dumping their poorly treated sewage into the canal or Rehoboth Bay.
Local officials are pointing out that our rapid development is about to tap-out our local aquifers.
The city fathers are considering:
A. Ocean Outfall - Building a great big pipe that extends from Rehoboth Beach 9000 feet into the Atlantic Ocean through which they will discharge the treated waste water.
B. Spray Irrigation - recycling treated waste-water onto leased vacant land, farmlands raising feed-stock, golf courses, etc. - and consequently, recharging the aquifer.
Since A is arguably cheaper - they will probably opt for the sewer to the ocean solution (and maybe require all new residents to import their water from China?)
Note: the very elements like nitrogen and phosphorus that make the waste water deadly to the Bay, are beneficial to the farmland, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers, whose run-off also poisons the inland waters.
der Brucer
Note these ae the same folks who don't want off-shore wind farms because they pollute the view, and want the required additional electricity to be imported from Maryland coal fired electric plants (nevermind that the state is refusing permission to the utilities to build more transmission lines through the state).
You can imagine the looks I get wen I suggest that our coast would be an ideal spot for a nuclear power plant.

He is not a tortoise shell, or tortie,-AT ALL. Sort of like a tabby, but I don't know the exact term :o. I'll have to check it out.
As for the linoleum, only under the box silly. Why would he be sitting around the box any other time than when he is using it?

DakotaCelt has piqued my interest.
-
I did a little research to come up with the official description of JJ’s marking. I would say he is a brown patched, or marble, swirled tabby. I found there are 3 kinds of tabby’s (I knew this just wondered if there was an official name) striped, spotted and swirled.
While I have never seen or heard of a male tortie or calico……“Male tortoiseshells can occur as a result of chromosomal abnormalities (often linked to sterility) or by a phenomenon known as chimericism, where two early stage embryos are merged into a single kitten.”
-
I am sitting here smiling at the comment and wonder where some peoples minds are...

I keep meaning to ask about the cat collar. Is it a safety collar? I don't know much about those. Before they invented them we stopped using collars after a few scary incidents in which we might have lost the cat if we hadn't been there.

Depends on the dog! All of mine that I raised from pups are used to food in the dish - they nibble when they want and don't get fat; Fletcher, on the other hand, can't seem to leave food alone and will die at a much earlier age from problems casued by his obesity.
Some dog trainers advocate only letting the dog have access to his bowl for brief feeding periods; dogs so raised learn they better eat it now or it goes away.
Now that the milk had been pulled, his stool is firming up.

Someone should put together a taxi cab company and call it Mary. It would give "Hailing Mary" a fun, new meaning.
I mean, let's face it, "Hailing Checkers" sounds like someone is calling a cocker spaniel.

-
Depends on the dog!
Exactly :). My raising the cat had nothing to do with it. I would not leave out too much extra food at once. You don't want JJ gaining too much weight. And as with stray dogs that need to add weight, you want to do it slowly. I'm sure you will figure it out. It is much easier to do with one cat than multiples.

Back in the early 1980s when studios were cranking out a new wave of 3-D movies, some of the old ones started being reissued for daytime and midnight showings.
I went to a midnight showing of CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON in 3-D, and it was just wonderful. I never dreamed I'd get to see any of the old 3-D films in a theater since they hit right before I was old enough to go to the movies alone, but I got to see HOUSE OF WAX, DIAL 'M' FOR MURDER, GORILLA AT LARGE, and CREATURE in theatrical 3-D. (I kept hoping KISS ME KATE or HONDO would be brought back, but neither was.)
I was lucky enough to see Kiss me Kate in 3D at a special festival they held at the Egyptian theater, and it was wonderful!

One hour with LOST more than makes up for the two hours I spent with COMPANY last night.
No spoilers, I'm just amazed that LOST continues to grow as an intelligent television drama. I also like the glamor that has been added to Kate. The final scene was indeed jaw-dropping - though, I admit, I did see it coming.
I love Jane's newest avatar, too.

Nice new avitar, DR Jane!!!
Do you hear anything from DR Danise?

Great art, DearReaderLaura DR!

Hoo and Ray for our dear DR PennyO!!! :)

Snow predicted tomorrow for the NYC metro area...

DR td, I have been doing my very best to support all four of our closest Borders outlets. Tell them to give you a raise!

They've been all over the map, from 2 to 10! Unfortunately during the mid day, so I'm going to have to go to work in the morning and then drive home in the middle of it. :(

Quote from: S. Woody White on Today at 08:09:39am
Someone should put together a taxi cab company and call it Mary. It would give "Hailing Mary" a fun, new meaning.
I mean, let's face it, "Hailing Checkers" sounds like someone is calling a cocker spaniel.
You are dating yourself, Woody!
Not really, TCB. The "Checkers" speech is part of the history books - literally. I was taught about it back when I was in high school.
(Some things are taught a Burbank High, it turns out.)

Great art, DearReaderLaura DR!
Thank you. That last photo was the butter on our bread plate in the museum cafe.

I love the new avatar, Jane. That is the beautiful woman and handsome man that I met

I have been doing work on the Nudie Musical script for the last two hours - once I started I couldn't stop - I've cleaned up all of act one. I can see that I never got around to doing even the changes I knew I wanted to way back in 2002, like consolidating two characters into one, and making one sequence more musical. I've done that now.
-
I think we're going to try and have a reading of Nudie in the next couple of months.

Good Evening!
'Tis been a very long day for me.
And that is all for this post.

And boy, did those scissors pop-out in 3D!

PS - Did you ever see The Maze in 3D (and filmed in B&W)
der Brucer
No, but I wanted to. I also wanted to see MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE.
-
I'm sure you will figure it out.
I think I have - I have found half-eaten bowls of food; he seems to chow down on what he wants, and the rest 'til later.

I had a nice call from the casting director right before I went in to see The Adding Machine informing me that due to a very-last-minute scheduling change, I get tomorrow off... With pay! :)
Wanna see a movie DR elmore? ;)

I did a little research to come up with the official description of JJ’s marking. I would say he is a brown patched, or marble, swirled tabby. I found there are 3 kinds of tabby’s (I knew this just wondered if there was an official name) striped, spotted and swirled.
I would call JJ a "classic tabby", which has the thick stripes and the bullseye pattern on the side, as opposed to the "mackrel tabby", which has the thin stripes.
Our Ociee cat is a classic chocolate tabby, I was told, but her markings are very faint and she now almost looks grey.
-
Always nice to see new avatars for our DRs, and I like your new one, DR Jane.
-
Torties are always females. JJ is a tabby.
I thought it was calicos who were always female. Or is that the same as a tortie?
-
After my company left, I began going through the DVR to watch things recorded over the last day or so. I began with RENO 911. A very funny show this week with some hilarious stuff with Dangle.
That was Gary Wayne Andrews from BOSTON LEGAL playing his brother and Aisha Tyler playing his sister.
-
I assume they don't over-eat, so I can leave food in the bowl?
Oh, they can over-eat but I don't think you need to worry about your kitty being overweight any time soon!
-
Next, I watched last night's PROJECT RUNWAY. I was VERY, VERY shocked at the audience favorite. Never would have been the one I would have picked. I did like seeing Michael Kors break that smug stone-face of his during the WWE challenge.
-
I keep meaning to ask about the cat collar. Is it a safety collar?
If by "safety" you mean it will break free if the cat gets caught, then no. It was left-over puppy one from Dollar Store and has a relective fabric so the cat can be seen at night.
The collar is so loose that JJ could easily wriggle free if he got caught - I put it on so I could attach a leash and take him out side and prevent him wandering into the marsh.
I do wonder if he has been into some kind of trouble - he seems to have developed a slight limp, but I see nothing wrong with a paw. The basement is filled with all sorts of construction stuff (used cabinets, vanities, micro-waves, dishwashers etc, waiting for a completion of the basement), so he could have gotton caught on something and pulled a muscle. He is not complaining.

I began on the bonus features on the HUMAN GIANT DVD. They are EXTENSIVE! Looks to be about three or four hours' worth of stuff to watch. It's been making me laugh very consistently.
-
I thought it was calicos who were always female. Or is that the same as a tortie?
They are both (almost) always female.
I have never seen a male calico or tortie.

I sped through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. No Luke and Noah today, but they were in the previews for tomorrow.

Just a semi-random question...
Just what is it about theatres, hotels and office buildings that make people forget how to count and/or the order of the alphabet?
"I'm looking for room 506."
-Well, this is 505, and 506 is right next door to your left.
"How many doors down is that?"
???
You'd have problems at my office building..my office is number 240, it's next door to 220, 238 is around the corner across the hall, right next to 235 which is next to 202. Don't ask, I have no idea

I sped through tonight's AMERICAN IDOL results show. The first male and first female eliminated were not surprises at all.
The second male and the second female were.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTHEW!!
-
Love the new avatar, DR Jane!
-
LOST did indeed have a wonderful episode. I also guessed the ending, but it wasn't any great detective ability on my part. They set it up so obviously in the early part of the show.
-
DerBrucer, I would take off that collar if I were you. A breakaway collar has an elastic piece that will break if the collar gets caught on something. I witnessed our cat jump down and get his collar caught on something. He would have hanged to death if the elastic piece hadn't broken.
-
I really enjoyed ELI STONE tonight. The young junior lawyer wasn't nearly as annoying as usual and the cases were interesting. I loved the developing relationship of Eli to his brother, and hope that gets explored a lot more in upcoming weeks.

From the web: the brown classic tabby...
-
and our HHW tabby:
-
It's a wet, miserable day in Atlanta GA!
Well at least that's a way to end a drought
-
As for The Adding Machine quite a thought-provoking evening of theatre. And it looked like it was a press night from the number of people with press packets sitting around me, and I recognized some of those people's faces too. In any case... It's certainly not a "musical comedy" by any means, although there are some genuinely funny moments throughout the show's intermission-less 90 minutes. All in all, it's quite a faithful, fanciful and ominous realization of Elmer Rice's original play.
-
I think the purebread tabbies might not have white feet and bibs, so we both must have a tux/tabby mix.
-

Oh yes...I'm not complaining! And it will be done by the time we go to a part Sat. night and a gardening big dig on Sunday.

We have our pet pages up at our neighborhood website. The photo of my little cow cat has been getting lots of looks!

Re: The quote that appears in der Brucer's post:
I blame it on the absence of TV shows like "Hart to Hart" in which both Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers "seemed" to be totally in love with one another.
And just when is Season 3 of "Hart to Hart" going to be released on DVD? I mean, Seasons 1 and 2 came out almost two years ago!?!?!?
;)
-
The website also refers to the classic tabby pattern as "swirled" and "Bullseye". So swirly is right on the mark! Bullseye!
-
With all of Jane's nagging, I thpught I better post a flyer at the Market:

We did just weigh him - 8.5 lbs (which I guess is small for a cat).
The gal at Wag and Wash noticed some tooth tartar - suggesting age.

Hmmm... That sounds like the numbering system in most of the cities in Japan. The buildings are numbered according to when they were built, in the order they were built. So, you could have 101 right next to 578. I remember when I almost went to Osaka with Universal Studios Japan, and ALL the guidebooks said the easiest way to find an address in the city was to 1) get the names of the nearest intersecting streets, then 2) once you get out of the cab, just ask someone where the building is, or at least point to the place you're looking for on your itinerary. ;)

Lovely new avatar, DR Jane (and Keith)!

Depends on the dog! All of mine that I raised from pups are used to food in the dish - they nibble when they want and don't get fat; Fletcher, on the other hand, can't seem to leave food alone and will die at a much earlier age from problems casued by his obesity.
Some dog trainers advocate only letting the dog have access to his bowl for brief feeding periods; dogs so raised learn they better eat it now or it goes away.
Now that the milk had been pulled, his stool is firming up.

Don't worry Der B, if JJ eats too much too fast he'll just throw up, ;D

DR singdaw - Weren't you guys up north supposed to get some snowfall earlier in the week?
In any case, I hope the weather isn't too bad for your travels tomorrow. -My roommate, Jim, is scheduled to fly down to Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow. At 6:00pm. :-\
-
I fell asleep for a little while - didn't mean to, but I got really tired from working on the script and the lyric and the proofing and the errands.
-
It's been a little LA rainy the last couple of hours, meaning that we've had a few droplets that were calling themselves rain.
-
Yes! You don't have it anymore?
The site changed hands and converted everything to a file I can't open and then deleted them.

Der B, have you had a vet or someone check JJ for a microchip? More and more people are doing it these days.

Just been reading the reviews for the revival of Sunday in the Park with George... :) :) :) :)

I gotta tell you.

I do think I've finished viewing this evening.

Well... As I mentioned earlier, it's been a long day for me, and even though I'm now off tomorrow, I don't necessarily want to sleep through most of it. -Especially if the snow does come as predicted! :) So...
Goodnight.

Fine, then I shall be here all alone. Perhaps I'll eat some worms whilst I'm at it.

Thanks again, DR's, for the thoughtful wishes today. Our Seussical dress rehearsal was better than I expected. We didn't stop, so that was good It's a cute show all around and the orchestra did their best to follow. I think our shows will be great. Time to try and get some sleep.
-
Nice new photo, Jane.
It is! It's very nice! ;D

Penny, let me know what perfromance you are going to go to, and maybe we could meet up for the show?
Yes! :D I'd love to see you both!!

Der B, have you had a vet or someone check JJ for a microchip? More and more people are doing it these days.
The rabies clinic on Saturday is going to someone there intalling chips and I hope they have a reader. Also, the local cat folks will be there so maybe I can get a better read on age. Rehoboth Beach is a one-horse resort town (they have no vet); the surrounding vets are rural vets who charge Westchester County/Bel Air prices.
