This morning I will have the joy of trying to convince the branch manager of the main branch of my credit union that a check that DRLaura deposited for me at a shared branch near her as opposed to the main branch downtown (which will actually accept deposits since not all do). There are very few real branches of my credit union left and most of them not even in the city. If they don't give me a break, I'm up a creek. Despite the fact that I have been with this institution for about 21 or 22 years, perhaps it is time to go to a real bank. Do they make real banks anymore? Does anyone still wear a hat? >:( :( :-[ :-\ I need to see a neurolgist, get an EEG and some blood work done and find out what is going on with my body and so-called brain (and find out what my limitations are)--- none of which I can do currently.

Good morning, all! I have a trek to Toyland first thing this morning, and then a bit of work here: Patrick Cassidy and the LyricStage job all collide at the same time, so those are my priorities after I get some Toyland work out of the way.
Since I am currently piano-less, I have a question for you musical DRs out there: the vamp to George Benson's "On Broadway" in E-flat is? dotted quarter E-flat, tied eight D-flat to a quarter, quarter rest?
I watched PWOJECT WUNWAY last night and almost fell out of my chair when Chris March took Tim gunn to his friend Larry's apartment and it was my friend Larry Vrba's place. I intrpduced him to our DR Jose at the December NYCGMC concert. Larry does stage jewelry; he worked on the jewelry for the original production of FOLLIES. Since they had four designersl last year, I thought this year's decision was rather unfair

I have a QUESTION re: last week's LOST
SPOILER SPACE
SPOILER SPACE
QUESTION RE: last week's
LOST
In my local paper there are comments about tonight's show. But it also sort of mentions some things we've learned from the last weeks. And something they wrote as my mind completely at a loss.
So i was just wondering if this blurb makes sense to anyone here.
They wrote, " Last week dropped an even more compelling clue and a potentially game-changing play: it's possible that at least one of the post-crash survivors sneaked off the island without anyone in the outside world knowing it. The Oceanic Six in other words aren't necessarily limited to just six survivors."
-
DR RonP, re: your comments yesterday that you are only watching Big Brother on tv and not reading about the feeds.
The reason i asked is because as usual they are editing people totally differently from how they act.
I am not spending much time reading about the feeds. But i find hamsterwatch.com a must. He is so witty. I just love it. I also read the televisionwithoutpity live feed discussion thread. There are only a few pages of posts a day. So it only takes a few minutes.

The weirdest musical I can recall seeing was a church service passing itself off as a musical called The River. Not a coherent image in the entire evening. Here's the Times' description:
''The River'' is a collage of rock, rap and pop gospel, extolling water in spiritual and metaphorical terms. In Peter Link's lyrics water falls, tumbles, rains and rushes in streams, rivers and oceans. By the end of the show, one has been inundated by images of liquidity.
There is, of course, a limit to the number of water songs one can listen to in a single show (the same thing could be said about cat songs). Perhaps in recognition of that fact, in the second act, Mr. Link tries to extend the range of his musical. The cast escorts us to ''the mire,'' meaning the earth - urban division -where we meet street people wasting their lives in various nonproductive ways. Here and elsewhere, Mr. Link is paralleling the cycle of water and the life cycle of man.

the vamp to George Benson's "On Broadway" in E-flat is? dotted quarter E-flat, tied eight D-flat to a quarter, quarter rest?
Yes, to my ears. But I think it's actually a two-bar vamp...
The second half being: quarter E-flat, eighth D-flat, quarter D-flat, dotted quarter rest.

As for the Topic of the Day...
Well, I did see Lestat in San Francisco during it's closing week there... However, the first day of rehearsal read-thru of that show, well... ::)
Otherwise... I know I've seen some strange stuff, but nothing in particular is coming to my mind right now. Well, maybe that production of Macbeth that cast a woman as Banquo.
Oh... maybe Shogun: The Musical? ;D
-
TOD:
Roza, with Georgia Brown.
After the seance production number, my jaw was on the ground. A truly "what were they thinking?" moment.
That show also contains one of my favorite lines from a musical libretto:
Ah...You do VOODOO, do you? ;D
-
DR elmore - The vamp is essentially E-flat to D-flat, with the basic rhythm being dotted-quarter -> eighth tied to a quarter (or even a half note). And, as DR singdaw noted earlier, it's a two-bar vamp. However, in the George Benson version of the sheet music, the E-flat it retained as a pedal tone under the second half of the measure (the D-flat chord) - ??? -In any case, it's all about the bass line to me.
You can sort of see it here in this preview frame from Solero:
http://www.freehandmusic.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProdID=116062 (http://www.freehandmusic.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProdID=116062)
If you go to iTunes, you can bring up a couple of different versions of the song and preview the clips.

First off--vibes to Kerry. You have my most sincere "oy." ;)
Finally, for the first time in months since I accepted this reviewing gig, I have NOTHING I *have* to watch. I have been buried under these mammoth boxed sets lately and frankly it's been something of a chore to get through them all. I was supposed to review the miniseries version of "State of Play" (soon to be a major motion picture starring *$(%*$ Ben Affleck), but I got a defective disc, so that's on hold.
Re: Lost. Betsy and I had a long discussion about (maybe) this last week, when Jack (IIRC) during the trial said eight people survived. So, even though he's lying, there is ultimately going to have to be some explanation about why he said 8, when there's evidently just an Oceanic 6. So maybe that's what they're talking about.
-
And in the "maybe I shouldn't have practiced so much" punchline department, the Hindemith horn kid placed second and so it looks like I need to accompany him again in the State Competition.

I have a QUESTION re: last week's LOST
SPOILER SPACE
SPOILER SPACE
QUESTION RE: last week's
LOST
...
(Spoiler info deleted in order to prevent spoilage)
I don't know how the show is being broadcast in Canada, but here in the states ABC is trying something interesting.
The previous week's show is broadcast again during the hour before the new episode is shown. This repeat showing has "pop-ups," little blurbs intended to explain what the heck is going on on-screen, which come up from the bottom of the screen.
This has the benefit of helping fill in any gaps that may have occurred in the viewer's memory during the week between episodes.
I don't think the ads have any pop-ups. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or bad. ;)
Of course, for anyone who is insisting on waiting for the DVD of the season to be released, this just means an extra hour that they have to avoid watching ABC. ::)
-
Good morning!
Another gorgeous day in store for us here. Gorgeous but very cold again. We're still in the 40s today. Tomorrow is supposed to be at least ten degrees warmer.
-
Re LOST:
I think the Oceanic 6 and the 8 survivors are two different entities entirely. Jack obviously lied about the 8 survivors since we know there were something like 40 survivors (from the looks of the people in the background during the first season). Why he and Kate have cooked up this story is unknown to us at this time. It could be that many of the passengers elected to stay on the island (reasons unknown and possibly nefarious). Sawyer and Locke have stated they don't want to go.
The 6 are obviously people the authorities knew were on the flight manifest and who were rescued. And for this reason, I'm changing my stance and saying that Aaron is NOT one of the Oceanic 6.
-
And in the "maybe I shouldn't have practiced so much" punchline department, the Hindemith horn kid placed second and so it looks like I need to accompany him again in the State Competition.
Congratulations, DR JMK!
And the resultant local newspaper headline:
Honking Hindemith Horn Honed Handily - Hasty Honor Has Harried Helper Hosed!
-
Many good health wishes for DR Kerry.

LOST and ELI STONE tonight on ABC, the most entertaining one-two punch on TV right now.

I think I'm going to treat myself to another "free day" in terms of viewing unless the stack of Criterions I'm expecting arrives. (I got no mail at all yesterday).
What I'm going to watch is still undecided at this time. It will likely be one of the HD-DVDs I've really bought at the Deep Discount fire sale.
-
*LOST* SPOILER....
In addition to what Matt H. said, if Ben is truly running an assassination campaign, and given that he also has expressed a desire to stay on the island, and was not on the 815 manifest, it is likely that he is back "in the real world" without media notice; hence, not one of the six.
-
And I may watch the LOST rerun at 8 just to see the pop-up facts.
I wonder if those pop-up facts will be included on the Blu-ray release of the show later this year. Since they're already doing them for the network broadcasts, why not?
-
SPOILAGE AHEAD!!!

And THIS is why I'll be asking der Brucer to record all three hours of ABC's programming tonight (Pop-Up Lost, New Lost, and Eli Stone) - I can't remember anything of last week's episode, and won't get home from work until after ten-thirty tonight. Bleh.
It kinda sucks all the spontinaity out of stuff, y'know?

I agree. When I read DR Jennifer's quoted material, Ben is absolutely whom I thought it was in reference to. He wasn't on the flight manifest because he was never on Oceanic 815.

Re: Lost (again).
Well, the 8 and 6 may be two different entities, but doesn't it stand to reason that the 6 came from the 8? How could it be otherwise? So, the question naturally arises (at least to me)--why 8? Why not 18? Or 7? Or 6? Are the other two Shannon and Boone?
-
Last night, der Brucer wrote:
The local cat society has very strict rules:
No placement in homes with out fenced yards.
No placement with apartment dwellers.
No placement with renters without a signed consent form from the landlord.
I understand the first one (so other animals, like dogs, and unruly children) cannot get to a cat who has gone inside the fence for safety. Make no mistake: The fence will not keep a cat in a yard.
The second one is not a good rule, IMO. Many folks live in apartments and could provide excellent, safe environments for cats.
The third rule, of course, is mandatory. The landlord must always give approval (and exact a $$$ deposit, if he or she desires) if a pet is to live in a home.

Of course they 6 came from the 8. Couldn't be otherwise, but as *I* said, it's UNKNOWN at this time why Kate and Jack have cooked up this story about 8 survivors when there were so many more than that. We have NO idea what's going to happen to the islanders during the rest of this season and the final two seasons already contracted.
-
And speaking of the rest of this LOST season, the first eight episode arc ends on March 20. (This was the last of the episodes completed before the strike took hold.)
The show will return on April 24th at 10 p.m. running the remainder of its season in that later time period.

Scan past QUICKLY to avoid seeing that at which you should not be looking!
First lines are gobbledygook for the lazy eye that looks when it doesn't mean/want to! kdkfjfkdlskerjae iuiogapoticvxoihasoprihas;odif j;k saigfjas pofihasd;oijhsfd;ogkasnf ;kj;aslijfa; osijfa ;oih;ioas; ihdsfoi hasofpiahsgpoiashg ;oiasjhg aisjg ;asogh a;sfjhn a;foghsd; fo. I think it is very easy to let your mind run amok trying to second-guess, and possibly third-guess, what "might" be going on in the "flash forward" sequences. Thus far, we "know" that the world believes Oceanic 815 crashed into the sea and that, initially, it was reported there were no survivors. "We" know, of course, that this is wrong. Hence, "someone" has concocted a lie about the crash. We "know" that the pilot was falsely identified in the video footage of the wreckage because another pilot who knew that pilot declared the video to be misidentified.
That's a lot to know. And you have to presume that whoever that "someone" is would have darned good reasons -- and a lot of motivation -- toward preventing the truth from coming out when a bunch of survivors actually turn up, and then lead camera crews to the "actual wreckage."
So....Oceanic 815 crashed. The official story and the true story bear no resemblance to one another. We are, however, being given "flash forwards" and have learned that part of the official story is that 6 people survived and were returned to civilization. We know, for certain, the identity of four of those people: Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sayid. Kate went to trial for crimes she committed before the crash, and Jack was a character witness. His story, which he's told many, many times according to Kate, is that there were initially 8 who survived the plunge into the sea. He maintained that Kate got six of them to shore and nursed them back to health. The Oceanic 6 were all listed on the manifest. No clues have been dropped, of which I am aware, as to who the other two were who did not survive Kate's rescue efforts.
We do not know the fate of any of the others, but we do know that Sayid believes himself to be "protecting" some of them while he is in the employment of Ben, who is alive and well. Don't be fooled by anything about Ben's past statements about leaving the island. We know that Ben has left the island many, many times. And based on that one "rescuer's" attempt to extort $3.2 million from him, Ben has limitless resources. No one yet knows just "who" Ben is and how he is connected ... especially IF he's connected to those who created the "official" story of the crash.
We also "know" that Kate's baby is actually Claire's "Aaron". Evangeline Lilly, who plays Kate, has confirmed this on a podcast, although she declares she does not yet know what the circumstances are that resulted in her raising him. We know that Hurley has been approached by the man who put together the team that found the island in their real quest to find Ben. He asked Hurley, "Are they still alive?" Charlie came to Hurley (yes, "dead" Charlie) and told him that "they need you" in an attempt to get Hurley to return. Hurley told Jack, who visited him in the sanitarium, that they needed to go back...that "it wants us to." Jack, in a very emotional scene with Kate at an airport parking lot, told her they need to go back.
There is far more there than meets the eye...and one could drive oneself nuts trying to piece things together. My belief that Aaron was among the Oceanic 6 stemmed from the previous week's promo (two weeks ago) that said the identity of the 5th member would be revealed. Aaron was the only survivor I recognized who had not been revealed before. But I may have been misled, or I may have misheard that promo. I shall now close this Spoiler with more gobbledygook to fool the stray eye!

I watched PWOJECT WUNWAY last night and almost fell out of my chair when Chris March took Tim gunn to his friend Larry's apartment and it was my friend Larry Vrba's place. I intrpduced him to our DR Jose at the December NYCGMC concert. Larry does stage jewelry; he worked on the jewelry for the original production of FOLLIES. Since they had four designersl last year, I thought this year's decision was rather unfair
I was in the kitchen when Chris took Tim to that apartment. When I heard him say his friend's name, I ran to the living room and hoped it was YOU. Not that I suspect you would have kept such a huge secret from us!
What a PLACE! I saw Tony Duquette's name on something in one of those rooms.
[size=8]PWOJECT WUNWAY Spoilage[/size]
You will be happy to learn, I think, that although only three of the designers showed -- IN COMPETITION -- at fashion week, the show actually sent five designers. The other two were Chris and Sweet P! I'm sure each of them was thrilled to be able to show a collection.
If you would like to SEE each of the collections shown (http://nymag.com/fashion/fashionshows/designers/bios/projectrunwaydesigners/), I'd be interested in reading what anyone thinks about each designer's "line." Personally, I think Chris and Sweet P outdid Rami and Christian...but horses for courses.

DISCUSSION ABOUT LAST WEEK'S LOST
DR Jenniffer - That "Lost" blurb makes sense to me. I'm not sure how true it is, but it does make sense. And in the previews for this week, I was left wondering the same question that the blurb poses.
Okay i've read everybody's comments about the blurb i've posted. DR Jose are you going to explain how it makes sense to you? :)
DR SWW, LOST airs in Canada exactly the same way it airs in the US.
We get ABC. So we get the old show at 8pm followed by the new one.
However we also have CTV which only airs the new one at 9pm.
The only part that is different i think is that we don't actually get the ABC commercials. So I think the previews we get at the end might be different, since we are on a different feed.
Btw, i had no idea they were doing pop-ups for the 8pm show. I saw the pop-ups they did for last year's finale and found it quite interesting.
Btw2, for DR MattH, re: my blurb. Ben was the person i immediately thought of. But it just doesn't make perfect sense to me. Since we learned that 2 weeks ago.a nd since he was not on the flight.
And re: the Oceanic 6 vs 8. I think that kate and jack are saying 8 people survived the crash and now 6 are home. And maybe one dead in that casket. I didn't really think the 8 had anything to do with the blurb. Since one or more could have died on the island.
I just found it odd that the writer wrote something as if people who watched would know what he was talking about. And i'd say we are pretty avid viewers here. And we are confused! :)
-
Thanks, DR Jeanne! :)

DR Kerry - thoughts and vibes!

RE: Something I did not know before
I did not know that Anaheim Hills is not an incorporated city in Orange County until yesterday.
I'd seen Anaheim Hills listed in the Thomas Brothers Guide...
(that's a famous brand of maps in California, which instead of folding out and creating confusion comes in a spiral-bound book which creates it's own kind of confusion)
...with it's own distinct coloration, so I'd always thought it was a city unto itself.
T'ain't.
It turns out that Anaheim Hills is actually part of Anaheim, a sub-section of the larger city.
The reason I was doing this digging was because I was trying to locate restaurants near the Chance Theater, where our esteemed BK is spending so much of his time. I thought one dining experience at Red Robin would be enough for him, so giving him a list of other options might be nice.
The problem is, if one looks up Anaheim Hills, the place doesn't really exist.
But if one looks up Anaheim, which certainly does really exist, most of what one finds is geared to the theme parks and all the hospitality associated with them. Picking out the stuff on the eastern side of the city, the so-called Anaheim Hills, ain't so easy to do.
I need to re-think how I'm going about this, find a better search engine.

For me on tv tonight i will watch SURVIVOR and APPRENTICE. And record IDOL and LOST, and ELI STONE.
Btw, re: IDOL last night. There are a few more women i like than men.
I can't say that i loved anyone's performance last night. But there are some who i actually really think i could like a lot.
Carly. Has a great voice. I loved her in auditions. And i'm not sure if i just like her less since all that publicity came out about her. But i think she could go far.
Kady malloy. I agree with simon. She shows so much personality in her interviews. I just think she has a good voice and could do very well. I really like her, even though her performances have not been stellar.
Another who i like is alaina. I don't think she did well last night. But her personality sparkles. And i agree with simon again. I think she could be a darkhorse if she starts to pick better songs.
One performance i really liked last night was Brooke. Do i think she will win? No. But i thought she picked the perfect song and sang it well. I really enjoyed watching her.
I think alexandra will probably be gone tonight. And my other guess would be amanda.

Thanks for the PROJECT RUNWAY big spoilers DR RONP. I appreciate it a lot! (and other people who did it too).

[size=8] More LOST Spoilers[/size]
Of course they 6 came from the 8. Couldn't be otherwise, but as *I* said, it's UNKNOWN at this time why Kate and Jack have cooked up this story about 8 survivors when there were so many more than that. We have NO idea what's going to happen to the islanders during the rest of this season and the final two seasons already contracted.
I've wondered whether this is a Jack/Kate thing or whether it was something the "6" agreed to when they were given a chance to return. Perhaps the remaining survivors (however many "they" were at the time the "6" were actually returned) elected to stay behind. Or perhaps they were "unrescuable"??? Out of 40-plus who DID survive, we know that 6 returned to civilization. We just don't know yet...WHY!
[size=8]End SPOILER[/size]

Thanks for all the good vibes. They must have worked, because I got a human being to cooperate (somewhat)-- at least enough to solve the immediate problem.

Now, see, this is what I mean...
I Yahooed Anaheim Hills Restaurants, and get this page here, care of LetsEat OC. (http://www.letseatoc.com/anaheimhills.htm) Sounded promising when I clicked.
But the listings are all rediculously generic, and there's no real description of the places, and THERE'S NO AFFLECK/DAMONING MAP!!! It's really no help at all.
Bleh.
-
She grew up on those sets...and I grew up watching the movies filmed on those sets.
So... you watched her grow up on those sets... spying on her from afar... never letting her know as you watched... creeping up on her to get a better view... closer... and closer... and closer...
Sounds like fun! :D

Good news, DR Kerry. May it continue!!! :)
-
DR elmore - The vamp is essentially E-flat to D-flat, with the basic rhythm being dotted-quarter -> eighth tied to a quarter (or even a half note). And, as DR singdaw noted earlier, it's a two-bar vamp. However, in the George Benson version of the sheet music, the E-flat it retained as a pedal tone under the second half of the measure (the D-flat chord) - ??? -In any case, it's all about the bass line to me.
You can sort of see it here in this preview frame from Solero:
http://www.freehandmusic.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProdID=116062 (http://www.freehandmusic.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProdID=116062)
If you go to iTunes, you can bring up a couple of different versions of the song and preview the clips.
Or I could drop off a copy of my Smokey Joe's Cafe piano/conductor score on my way down to Binder in an hour if you'd like.
DR Jose, thanks for all the info! I was off to Toyland when you posted this so our paths cross this morning. I stopped at Colony and looked at the published sheet music, and realized that the vamp in the Benson version had been rewritten to use the flatted seventh. I hate being piano-less!

On the other hand, if you go to Yahoo's own restaurant listings for Anaheim Hills (http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-6616988-anaheim_hills_restaurants-i;_ylc=X3oDMTFka28zOGNuBF9TAzI3NjY2NzkEX3MDOTY5NTUzMjUEc2VjA3NzcC1kZXN0BHNsawN0aXRsZQ--), the very first restaurant they list is all the way to the west in Long Beach, and trust me, Long Beach is not just a hop and a skip from Anaheim Hills, especially if what you want is a quick nosh.
There has got to be a better way.
-
After viewing DR RLP's link for the PR fashion shows, I agree with his analysis about who out-designed who....the two dropped designers outdid a couple of the those showing for real.
The irritating Ugly Bug had the worst collection....I HATE THOSE jackets with little peplums.....why is he trying to bring those back?

Or how about this one. It's actually called the Anaheim Hills Restaurants Directory (http://www.anaheimhillsrestaurants.com/).
Just one problem. No restaurants are listed.
Go ahead, take a look if you don't believe me!

Last night, der Brucer wrote:
The local cat society has very strict rules:
No placement in homes with out fenced yards.
No placement with apartment dwellers.
No placement with renters without a signed consent form from the landlord.
I understand the first one (so other animals, like dogs, and unruly children) cannot get to a cat who has gone inside the fence for safety. Make no mistake: The fence will not keep a cat in a yard.
The second one is not a good rule, IMO. Many folks live in apartments and could provide excellent, safe environments for cats.
The third rule, of course, is mandatory. The landlord must always give approval (and exact a $$$ deposit, if he or she desires) if a pet is to live in a home.
LOL-You beat me to the post.
Our cats were very happy in apartments. We had plenty of toys, climbing apparatus, free run of the place, and most important of all-loads of love and attention.
I would rather JJ be an indoor cat in an apartment than an outdoor cat with a fence. I will say, I never had a cat that jumped our fence-many don't. I wouldn't trust that to be a given & a nasty cat can still get into the yard and attack your cat.
-
DR SWW - Is there an Anaheim business league or tourist bureau?

Did the rescue group write down that JJ prefers being indoors to outdoors?

I haven't gotten that far yet.
But you can bet your bottom, and your dollar as well, that it'll be geared towards everything that's around Disneyland and all the convention and tourist stuff that has sprung up around said tourist trap.
-
JJ certainly didn't have any problems with climbing fences. There's no other way he could have gotten into our yard, unless someone threw him over, and there's no access to the doggie door other than via the fenced-in yard.
-
I don't watch LOST anymore so I went ahead and attempted to read the spoiler. Note I said attempted. I now have a headache and eyestrain. ;D
The ideal would be to break all that text into small paragaphs and let some air in there so your eyes can BREATHE.
But doing that, I reckon, makes it easier for straying eyes to glom onto something they don't want to see as they slowly skim past pretendingtrying not to look. ;)

DR Kerry, may your good news become better news every day. Enjoy those Sugar kisses. :)
-

Jane, drop it. NOW!
I know you've had the "very best of intentions", but this continued questioning about what the rescue group did or didn't do and constant second-guessing of what der Brucer and I had to choose to do has been like rubbing salt into an open wound. You caused me a great deal of anguish last night, and I am still royally pissed off with you.
Giving up JJ was not easy for me. Fostering any animal and then giving that animal to someone else to care for is not easy.
You are causing a great deal more hurt than you can imagine.
So BACK OFF!

Ron P - thanks for the PROJECT RUNWAY info

I've got to get ready for work.
-
I have a lot of problems with my eyes, focusing is one of them. I find it much easier to quickly scroll past the text under a spoiler than to separate for reading. ;D
I realize if more than one show is listed I often scroll over more than I want to, but heck-I would rather miss a post or two than read more than I want.
I figure no one is combining important personal information along with info on shows. If I'm wrong and miss something, another poster will likely comment and show me the error of my ways. ;)
-
Sorry, I'll back off. And I know your intentions are only for the good. And I am not doubting your decisions at all-really.
Sometimes I'm too curious for my own good & I am interested in what they were doing, or the kinds of questions they ask. I tried to volunteer with local cat groups here but my allergies were so severe, dangerously so, I couldn't.

I'm struggling with a lyric I'm rewriting for the musical I'm mentoring. I fixed the music, but the lyric is being obstinate, because it's difficult to find the author's point of view on this one - I'm finding the point, but it's slow going.

The telly grumble time....
I am busy scurrying around and listening to ATWT and catch glimpses of here and there. I like the new style of filming the PnG soaps are doing and it sort of reminds of the filming approach they use on EASTENDERS. I also note that GL is doing the same thing.
However, they need to control the 'shakes' a bit more. THey are doing a far better job than AMC's attempt with style.

This morning I will have the joy of trying to convince the branch manager of the main branch of my credit union that a check that DRLaura deposited for me at a shared branch near her as opposed to the main branch downtown (which will actually accept deposits since not all do). There are very few real branches of my credit union left and most of them not even in the city. If they don't give me a break, I'm up a creek. Despite the fact that I have been with this institution for about 21 or 22 years, perhaps it is time to go to a real bank. Do they make real banks anymore? Does anyone still wear a hat? >:( :( :-[ :-\ I need to see a neurolgist, get an EEG and some blood work done and find out what is going on with my body and so-called brain (and find out what my limitations are)--- none of which I can do currently.

Listening to the marvelously marvelous Bill Evans Movie Themes album, with charts by Claus Ogerman, gorgeously mastered for CD. This somehow was omitted from the loudly trumpeted "complete" Bill Evans on Verve box, a rather ignorant oversight on some fool's part.

I'm getting hungry - meeting Mr. Rothman for some chow at Du-Par's. I may even have pancakes - we'll have to see how I feel.

It's a rock squirrel. There were five of them watching me, and they all dove into their holes. This one peeked out at me. I put a few peanuts at their holes and waited patiently for them to come out. I turned around several minutes later, and all five were watching me from twenty or so yards away. They must have an extensive tunnel system!

No, I barely got ANY mail today (and nothing yesterday). Three pieces of nothing mail today, AND NO PACKAGES OF ANY KIND.

Had a full, busy afternoon of fun viewing.
I began with PROJECT RUNWAY. I always love the show when Tim visits the designers and sees what they have in store for Fashion Week. One of my favorite annual episodes.
And I have to say that the judges made the right call based on the three pieces we saw last night.
Can't wait for the Fashion Week finale next week.

Next I watched last night's RENO 911! Really hilarious show. Loved Seth Green's guest star sequences and a great final gag.
-
Next I watched DANTE'S PEAK on HD-DVD. Yep, it's a corny disaster pic down to its toenails with some ridiculous plot contrivances. Nevertheless, I have always enjoyed the movie just as a guilty pleasure thrill ride, and now in HD, it's great to have.
I didn't think the Dolby Digital Plus track was much of an advance on the old Dolby Digital track on the sDVD, but, at any rate, I had a good time with it.

I got FURIOUS that Imira stood by helplessly and did nothing to save herself, fight back, nothing, especially since it was 3 against 2 if she had helped!. Absurd! Surely she knew what fate awaited her if the two bashers got her off alone. Horrible, wretched writing and acting. That entire sequence was abysmal! The nadir of the show since I've been watching.

Spake DR RLP:It's a small world after all,
It's a small world after all,

It's a small, small, world!

For about 10 months, I had Donna Fargo's "Happiest Girl in the Whole USA" running through my head 24 hours a day. Drugs helped.
A great antidote to "Small World' is "Just sit right back, and you'll hear a tale........"

OMG!
I am SO glad I didn't bother with NBC's QUARTERLIFE on Tuesday night. The rating was so low that NBC has canceled the show and will not air the remaining segments as scheduled (Sunday at 9 was supposed to be its timeslot.)
The article said that the 3.1 million viewers the show pulled on Tuesday night was the lowest rating in that time slot in 17 years!!
Let's see what went wrong, from my perspective:
--- LOUSY title
--- Tale about 6 friends in a big city (huh-oh...ever hear of "Friends"?)
--- Promos made it look like a bunch of trendy, whiny "pretty people" who live a "high life" that every young person should aspire to...cad, ho, bartender, louse....

I got HD DVDs from Deep Discount today! HOORAY!
Wait! Scratch that.
It was the DVD to the complete series "The Flash".
I also am waiting on three HD DVDs ordered 9 days ago. Plus, I ordered two more this very day.
And can you believe DD's "price" for the new HD DVD titles? Looks like the "gouging" begins!

I meant to post this yesterday and forgot.

I meant to mention that I did scan through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. I got FURIOUS that Imira stood by helplessly and did nothing to save herself, fight back, nothing, especially since it was 3 against 2 if she had helped!. Absurd! Surely she knew what fate awaited her if the two bashers got her off alone. Horrible, wretched writing and acting. That entire sequence was abysmal! The nadir of the show since I've been watching.
And I thought PASSIONS was stupid! This soap has no time; the parents arrive to save them in a split second; the plot involving the $250,000 is whizzing by. He's dressing as he talks on the phone and walks into the next part of the storyline fully dressed immediastely after! Magic.

DR elmore - The vamp is essentially E-flat to D-flat, with the basic rhythm being dotted-quarter -> eighth tied to a quarter (or even a half note). And, as DR singdaw noted earlier, it's a two-bar vamp. However, in the George Benson version of the sheet music, the E-flat it retained as a pedal tone under the second half of the measure (the D-flat chord) - ??? -In any case, it's all about the bass line to me.
Don't any of you people speak English?

The local cat society has very strict rules:
No placement in homes with out fenced yards.
No placement with apartment dwellers.
No placement with renters without a signed consent form from the landlord.
I understand the first one (so other animals, like dogs, and unruly children) cannot get to a cat who has gone inside the fence for safety. Make no mistake: The fence will not keep a cat in a yard.
The second one is not a good rule, IMO. Many folks live in apartments and could provide excellent, safe environments for cats.
The third rule, of course, is mandatory. The landlord must always give approval (and exact a $$$ deposit, if he or she desires) if a pet is to live in a home.
In the case of my landlord, I didn't pay a deposit. Instead, I pay monthly rent on both of my babies. Eash one increases the rent by $25.00 a month. Believe me, they are both priceless.

Well, yes, I did understand that, DR RLP, from your original instructions. I'm just not prepared to do that at work. Although it could be interesting! :D

RE: Something I did not know before
I did not know that Anaheim Hills is not an incorporated city in Orange County until yesterday.
I'd seen Anaheim Hills listed in the Thomas Brothers Guide...
(that's a famous brand of maps in California, which instead of folding out and creating confusion comes in a spiral-bound book which creates it's own kind of confusion)
Thomas Guides (from which I get no revenue) are certainly not limited to the great state of California. You can find them almost everywhere.

Re: Lost (again).
Well, the 8 and 6 may be two different entities, but doesn't it stand to reason that the 6 came from the 8? How could it be otherwise? So, the question naturally arises (at least to me)--why 8? Why not 18? Or 7? Or 6? Are the other two Shannon and Boone?
Another Lost Mystery: Has anyone else noticed that Harold Perrineau has been in the credits again this season, but I have yet to see him.
I was wondering if the other two could be Walt and Michael. Didn't they get off the island? And wouldn't they have told people that a whole bunch of other people survived??

Nothing. It's just that a day on a soap can last for over a week of viewing or, in today's episode, everything happens in the blink of an eye at lighting speed. It's very disconcerting. That, and the lousy writing. It makes the worst MONK episodes look better than they are.

Paternal dog Billy takes on an unusual kid
Last updated at 12:23pm on 28th February 2008
A paternal dog has adopted an abandoned baby goat as his surrogate child.
Billy the boxer has become the constant companion of the 12-day old kid called Lilly. He sleeps with the goat, licks her clean, and protects her from any dangers at Pennywell Farm wildlife centre at Buckfastleigh, near Totnes, Devon.

It looks just about certain that we've found our Brain - and a totally unexpected serendipitious and fortuitous thing it is. As I was walking to Du-Par's for lunch, it suddenly occurred to me that Mark Rothman, way back when, was going to play the songwriter Ernest Ernest in my mockumentary about Meltz and Ernest. As soon as I thought that, it further occurred to me that he'd make a very funny Brain - he's a sixty-year-old, six-foot-four Jew, and very droll and funny. The concern was the singing, but he came over and sang and read for me and was terrific.
He lives in Michigan and was flying home next Tuesday, and he still will, but then he will fly to Seattle, where his car is (he has a condo there) and drive it back to LA, where he also has a condo at the beach. So, barring anything unforseen, he's just told me he's onboard. Mark has done a little performing in days of old, and, of course, he co-created Laverne and Shirley, wrote for all the Garry Marshall shows (including The Odd Couple) and has a lot of good show biz history. One down, two to go.

He has written two plays: The Wearing of the Greens, and "Who Wants Fame", which are popular among low budget theaters.

No, DR derBRUCER. My zoo keeper joke is as follows:

Zoo Keeper: They are in the back making love.

Zoo Keeper: Would you?
-
Directions from my oven manual:
Always wait until window is cool before cleaning
Spray glass cleaner on clean cloth and apply to glass. Remove stubborn stains with plastic scrubber
Rinse using minimal water and dry.
That is rather simple. There are so many glass cleaners out there they might at least mention which ingredients are best; i.e. ammonia or vinegar.

This is rather strange:
YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT
Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but your waiter may know YOUR AGE BY DINER & RESTAURANT MATH
This is pretty neat
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read.
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat. (more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1758...
If you haven't, add 1757.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You should have a three digit number
The first digit of this was your original number. (i.e., How many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.)
The next two numbers are
YOUR AGE ! ------ (Oh YES, it is!)
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2008) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS

Well... I think "quarterlife" was one of the true "casualties" of the Writer's Strike. It originally started on the web - and was/is quite popular on the web.

DR Jennifer - As for my comment about the "Lost" blurb....
Well... I think we all have to remember what Jack said in the finale of last season, "We have to go back." -Or whatever he said that resembles that statement. There are obviously still some people left on the island. And, from what has been presented so far, it appears that the "left behind" are considered "dead" to the outside world. As for the Oceanic 6, 8, etc... The 8 was in reference to who got off the island, not necessarily who were on that Oceanic flight. And who's to say there wasn't a second crash somewhere down the line? -And with the news coverage of the "other" flight wreckage, maybe it's part of the cover-up...

Tomorrow is Sadie Hawkins Day. That is all
-
Sadie Hawkins Day, an American folk event, made its debut in Al Capp's Li'l Abner strip November 15, 1937. Sadie Hawkins was "the homeliest gal in the hills" who grew tired of waiting for the fellows to come a courtin'. Her father, Hekzebiah Hawkins, a prominent resident of Dogpatch, was even more worried about Sadie living at home for the rest of his life, so he decreed the first annual Sadie Hawkins Day, a foot race in which the unmarried gals pursued the town's bachelors, with matrimony the consequence. By the late 1930's the event had swept the nation and had a life of its own. Life magazine reported over 200 colleges holding Sadie Hawkins Day events in 1939, only two years after its inception. It became a woman empowering rite at high schools and college campuses, long before the modern feminist movement gained prominence. The basis of Sadie Hawkins Day is that women and girls take the initiative in inviting the man or boy of their choice out on a date, typically to a dance attended by other bachelors and their aggressive dates. When Al Capp created the event, it was not his intention to have the event occur annually on a specific date because it inhibited his freewheeling plotting. However, due to its enormous popularity and the numerous fan letters Capp received, the event became an annual event in the strip during the month of November, lasting four decades.

Another Odd Tradition:
According to ancient lore, back in the 5th century, Irish St. Bridget convinced St. Patrick that women should be allowed to propose marriage at least once day a year. St. Patrick relented, but with a catch—he ordained that women would have the opportunity only every four years—on leap day.
The tradition continued, and in 1288 Scotland passed a law that gave women the legal right to propose on leap day. And if the man refused, he was fined! You can find out more about these leap year marriage traditions on About.com’s marriage guide, at http://marriage.about.com/people/marriage
During this century, this time-honoured tradition has been melded with pop culture, as leap day became Sadie Hawkins’ day. Sadie Hawkins was a character in the hugely popular comic strip Lil’ Abner. In the strip, Sadie gets a chance to run and catch her husband once a year. Originally Sadie Hawkins day took place in November, but over the years it has become part of the leap year tradition. Find out more about Sadie Hawkins from the Lil’ Abner website, at http://www.lil-abner.com/sadiehawk.html.

I share your curiosity?
I also wonder how much advance word the challenger gets (they always show up with weird ingredients planned for the evenings cook-off and the speed at which the teams start out makes it clear they already had a good idea of what they were going to prepare).

AH!

Thanks to your link I found this interesting, and IMHO well done, video of Prince Harry (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/23394611#23394206)
in Iraq. Whoever originally linked the story he was there & endangered not only his life, but the lives of those around him, should be locked up. Sometimes freedom of the press is not a good thing.
I would love for the Queen go on BBC and call-out the press for endangering both her grandson and his companions - and make it personal; not Queen to subjects, but an agrieved Granny to an uncaring press.

Does Cillaliz have her sights set on some Sadie Hawkins Day prey?

Non-spoiler.
Riveting television viewing.
And that haircut!
Still, I like the person with the haircut with the longer hair. . .
I'm just sayin'. . .

No, I can't think of anyone I'd like to be around for that long. ;D

Another full evening of viewing.
I began by finishing DOCTOR DOLITTLE. I continued to be amazed at just how superb this transfer is and unconverting it makes it as near to HD as anything I've seen (apart from GYPSY which I still believe is THE best SD transfer I have.)
-
And as for TONIGHT'S "LOST" so far...
WOW!
And... Someone got a haircut and uniform and looks very YUMMY!!! ;D

My goodness, I was salivating in every one of those scenes. I wouldn't have minded a little five o'clock shadow, but I've NEVER seen him like this and he was stunning!
-
I watched the pop-up LOST and enjoyed the facts, some of which dealing with the literature being read were really startling.
-
As for tonight's new LOST -
mind blowing.

ELI STONE
The junior lawyer was back to being her annoying self. The lesbian case was interesting. The actor who played the hidden surfer guy had also been on LOST earlier in the evening (and plays Ecklie on CSI, a recurring role).
-
Watching a movie, but am now going out to find something to eat - I'm need to get the taste of the Du-Par's meal out of my mouth.
-
I think we're going to license the Brain for a production in Australia!
-
As for the evictees on IDOL, DR Jose is right: none of them were going to come anywhere close to winning so now's as good a time to leave as any.
I still think rocker chick Amanda Overmeyer is THE WORST singer left in the competition. Her part of the group song tonight was PAINFUL to listen to. As bad as Sunjaya ever thought about being last year.

This is fun! My nephew David was briefly interviewed at the top of this article (about undergraduate business programs at colleges) in Business week.

I guess tomorrow I'll begin my review copy of LIL' BUSH. If the Criterions or ENCHANTED don't come tomorrow, that will be the end of my review stack. And since there are no new TV episodes tomorrow night of any interest to me, I'll be able to get the disc completely watched tomorrow.
-
Guess I'll do a little computer work and then head on down for bed.
Good night!

Page Twelve Dorothy and Wicked Witch Dance!!!

And now I'm really going!

That is very exciting!

:) Amy Adams is on "Letterman". :)
-
Great news Bruce about the possible Aussie premiere of THE BRAIN
-
Am now caught up with this weeks episodes of BIG BROTHER 9, and I can say now that I am enjoying it. Last nights episodes, with the two medical emergencies, really brought out the human traits of the contestants and it helped to get to know some of the contestants a litte better.
So far I really like James and Chelsia and Natalie (from Salem!) Natlie seems like a very nice young gal and I like her easygoing nature.
And digging around a bit it seems that straight guy James has done some amateur gay porn recently! I saw a clip :o
-
Well, I'm already a bit sleepy, and I have a slight headache now too - ??? -Which I think is a sign that I need to get some sleep, so...
Goodnight.

Our dear friend Bill Parry got a lovelier than lovely mention in Variety's review of TAKE ME ALONG at the Irish rep.
http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117936347.html?categoryid=33&cs=1

Bill Parry - didn't he play my role once? :)
-
Very excited about Mark Rothman playing the Brain and so is the theater. Earlier tonight I had an extraordinary phone call that made me feel like a million bucks. One of these days I'll get a phone call that will result in a million bucks, but this phone call really touched me very deeply - more about it in the notes. I haz spoken.
-
Indeed he did.
-
I really wish I could see Take Me Along - I adore the Bob Merrill score so much and I've never seen the show.
-
Play your role in Last Starfighter, that is.
-
In fact, Take Me Along has one of my all-time top ten favorite overtures, almost five minutes long.
-
I guess I should finish this movie.
-
Favorite quote of the night comes from kimmelhisway on All That Chat, noting Charles Isherwood's rave for PASSING STRANGE: "How do these shows get to avoid Mr. Brantley?"
-
Quite a few writing careers have been altered based on WHICH Times critic a show gets.

DR Jennifer: To answer whatever questions you may have about tonight's episode -- I don't know. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I followed it. I did. I can't explain it. And I certainly can't recount it.
DR JMK: Do your magic and posit what you will. I won't speculate on any of it.
DR Jose: Is WOW! your final answer?
DRMattH: Not even if I wanted to.

Is feb 29th called Leap Day? Maybe LEAP DAY should be the title of a new film a la Groundhog Day. It seems just about every other "day" has a movie named for it, right? except for Arbor Day, I guess.
-
Im sleepy, and no one else is here to keep me awake. So I guess ill go to bed - Goodnight all, pleasant dreams

Arbor Day (1936) (An Our Gang Comedy)
If TV counts:
It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown (1976) (TV)
