Well, you've read the notes, you now want to seek out an episode of Then Came Bronson, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - whatever you do, don't give those cows short SHRIFT.
-
And the word of the day is: DESCRY!
-
Welcome nine GUESTS.
-
Make that eight GUESTS. I guess one of them wasn't a Then Came Bronson fan. Damn them, damn them all to hell.
-
Make that ten GUESTS - yay for the Bronson fans.
-
Nobody here but us chickens.

***CONTINUED GOOD NEWS VIBES***[/size][/color]
for bk and Kritzerland[/size][/color]
-
***RECOVERY VIBES*** to DRs TPunk and Jane!!!
DR Ginny, glad that you made it home safely and enjoy your day off today! :)
DR elmore303 - I'm glad that you're getting checked for toxins. Oh, and thanks for your "gift"! ;)
Enjoyed the photos from DR Tomovoz!
Congratulations to DR George on your refi! I would spend all that "found" money on DVDs and CDs... :P
-
News vibes for Kritzerland and MR BK.
Perhaps Ms Cindy Williams will have some lovely CHAPERONE tales to share.
-
I'll be back later-- just thought I'd get up and have a piece of French Bread. Ask DR Laura about the bread.
-
There is snow on the ground, but I don't think too much. Of course today is a work day, so we shall see how it goes.
-
French Bread. Mais oui.
-
Off to work.
-
Have I mentioned that Skip and I got to meet Cindy Williams after we saw her lovely performance in DROWSY CHAPERONE in December? She was so nice, even before we mentioned that we knew Bruce Kimmel, and she seemed delighted that we knew Bruce.
Oh I did mention that? several times? Well, it's a post, anyway.
-
Perhaps you are thinking of THEN CAME BRONSON because:
TCB is short for THEN CAME BRONSON?
-
Or perhaps, since I am a big fan of THEN CAME BRONSON (as well as TCB!) and have the entire series, thanks to the research of DR SingSing, and you are thinking of me because you owe me a phone call!?!
-
Snow showers here this morning. So pretty, but too warm for the snow to stick.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And there's snow on the ground here in Chattanooga too! :)
-
Good morning, DR Jose!
-
...And I'm sooooo glad I went ahead and packed my winter wear - jacket, scarf, hat and earmuffs - right before I left the house on Wednesday morning. Whew!
-
Good Morning, Amy!
-
Glad you got some Q, even if it wasn't the quintisential Q.
-
Although it's snowing, it doesn't even feel cold outside. Boy, the weather has been wacky of late. I'm glad you are prepared, Jose!
-
Well... I'm running a little late this morning, so...
Two days down, one to go! -And with the snow, I'm sure it's going to be an interesting day - especially since most of the auditionees are not staying in the same hotel complex that the auditions are taking place in. Some of the other host hotels are a little bit a walk away. -And since the city's free shuttles don't start running until 9:00am... and the briefing is at 9:00am, well... I hope they packed their winter wear!
Laters...
-
That's very interesting news about STARFIGHTER. Anything that raises name recognition (in a good way, of course) is free publicity!
-
And I shall have to ponder the Topic of the Day whilst I play today. ;)
-
I'm going to go take the cats out onto the porch to look at the snow.
-
Good morniing, all! I'm off to the laundromat. I've got it down now to about twice a week, as opposed to daily wash, and in between jaunts to the laundromat, I'll continue the cleaning here.
Because of the stormy weather, I plan to do my Toyland work here this weekend. I have to call our BK later in the morning, since I awoke to find a message from him, and it shou;d be - I hope - a rather quiet day.
-
Saturday Snow Day morning greetings! Our county is now on a Level 3 snow emergency, which means:
All roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel. No one should be driving during this condition unless it is absolutely necessary or a personal emergency exists. All employees should contact their employer to see if they should report for work. Anyone traveling on the roads may subject themselves to arrest.
-
Good morning all. I have to run to the office and get 3 things done. They will take longer than it sounds, but I can't do them tomorrow as I will be in Des Moines all day and the week is looking very busy before my trip to Arizona on Thursday, so Hello Goodbye
-
and P.S. I am sleepy, Boo decided it was a week day and woke me up at the usual time....great
-
For those of you who do such things, don't forget that we turn our clocks ahead one hour tonight. Spring forward and fall back!
-
And it's a good time to check the batteries in your smoke detectors
-
Good morning everyone. Pierre must have some serious concerns about the winter weather as he is dragging each and every one of my scarves down from their hook.
-
That's what makes him so fun- he always keeps you guessing about what piece of furniture or category of clothing he will attack next. Never a dull moment.
-
And the word of the day is: DESCRY!
And The Song Of The Day Is: I SEE YOUR FACE BEFORE ME

Good morning!
My goodness, folks having snow and our LOW this morning was 50. I couldn't believe how mild it was when I stepped outside to get the newspaper. Looks like a gorgeous day ahead for us.
-
Today I'll be spending most of the day with THE ICE STORM. It has a new audio commentary which I'm eager to listen to.
Then, there is a second disc of bonus documentaries and features. Should occupy most of the rest of my day.
-
TV Reminder:
[size=8]TORCHWOOD!!![/size][/glow]
-
I wish I had slept better last night. I think having my big meal of the day at night just does not sit well with me now. I didn't have indigestion or anything like that. I think I was just still too full when I went to sleep.
-
I still haven't watched PROJECT RUNWAY's finale show. (BTW, I saw the ratings which must have pleased Bravo very much. No question that we'll get another season of this show. I'm happy about that.)
-
Good morning, everyone.
A rainy day here--fine with me, as I need an easy day. I haven't been sleeping well and could really use a nap later.
-
Good news for FJL and THE LAST STARFIGHTER. I hope your show gets lots of attention.
-
Continued Positive Vibes to BK and Kritzerland!
May this soon come to fruition!
-
Cloudy day here.

Must take care of some Saturday chores.

"Oh, how I hate to get up in the moooorrrning...."
-
And how about that other flop show starring Parks look-alike Frank Converse:
CORONET BLUE
-
For any of you looking for a good mystery/thriller DVD, I highly recommend the BBC miniseries "State of Play," which I just reviewed for DVDTalk. It's being adapted into a feature film starring Ben Affleck, but this is the original 6 hour miniseries and it's fantastic.
-
Today is Pacific Pops Choir performance day. Our concert is entitled "A Stage and Screen Spectacular Starring Pacific Pops Choir" and features songs with some sort of "show" tie-in. Y'all will know most of these already, but see if you can guess the connection:
Daybreak
And We Were Lovers
Green Leaves of Summer
Give a Damn
Time of Our Lives
Can't Help Falling in Love
Seasons of Love
Baby Elephant Walk
Nikki
Rhythm of Life
Light Sings
That's a lot of choral arranging, if I do say so myself. :)
-
Pete & Gladys reruns used to air in the mornings in SLC when I was teeny-tiny. I still remember an episode where Gladys was driving an old racecar (I think) and the steering wheel came off in her hands.
-
I think NBC was very surprised by the failure of THEN CAME BRONSON. It aired in the now LAW & ORDER timeslot: Wednesdays at 10 p.m.
-
Speaking of PETE & GLADYS, wasn't Cara Williams the Debra Messing of her day? That is, wasn't she expected to be the next Lucille Ball?
-
Well, I need to tidy up a few computer things and then head down to check mail and then start preparing lunch.

I was awakened by the door bell at eight - three rather energetic Hispanic ladies asked me where my garage sale was. I told them where the garage was, but there was no sale there - they said there was one listed on Craig's List. I went to Craig's List and could find no such listing. I think they were trying to Gaslight me.

DH Richard and I have been outside
playing in the shoveling snow. We are now taking a break.
When I got up this morning I looked out the window over our kitchen sink and this is what I saw. It's the corner of the roof of our family room.
-
And here's the same corner from the opposite direction, from the window in the family room.
-
Good Saturday morning to you all....and plenty of vibes to BK and Kritzerland!
-
Last night I watched A RAGE TO LIVE...wow...I just love Suzanne Pleshette, and this role was certainly different then her role in, say, GEISHA BOY! And Ben Gazzara should not have been allowed to go "commando" in this movie...it was very distracting.
The cast was wonderful...Bethel Leslie (such a strange looking woman), Linden Chiles (yummy!), Mark Goddard (evil and yummy)...and, I had forgotten how yummy Peter Graves was....hmmmm...I maybe I am starting to have a rage to live!
-
They are going to shut off the water for my building for a few hours today, so naturally there will be many needs for water during that time. Woulsd anyone care to wash me today? Answer came there none; I'm afraid. :-\
-
JRand, you DVDr of said movie will be on it's way very soon!!!

Darn! I missed A RAGE TO LIVE! I'm terrible at remembering when things are on, and end up watching crap. (Well, in this case it was TLC...I'm trying to at least watch one episode of the various shows I'm dealing with...)

Snow showers here this morning.
Best dry off Snow before she catches cold!

-
We just went out and took a nice long walk to Starbucks. Our neighborhood group president goes there once a month for an informal get-together in case anyone wants to talk about stuff in the 'hood. We met some nearby neighbors and are going to plan a progressive dinner with them. Should be a fun way to meet some more folks!
It was fun walking in the snow flurries.
-
I prefer DESCRY RIDES AGAIN.
I prefer DESCRY THE BELOVED COUNTRY.
-
I didn't realize that BRONSON was a flop. When it aired, I thought it was the best show ever and that Bronson had the coolest life, traveling all over the country on his motorcycle, doing good and then driving off into the sunset like the Lone Ranger.
IIRC, this was the first TV series to shoot on location, in various western states.
-

bk's friends Michael Burns was a guest star on TCB. The series, that is...
-
Of course, TCB was also Elvis' motto (and logo!).

Matt H is enjoying the ice storm and Ginny is enjoying the snow storm.

I prefer DESCRY THE BELOVED COUNTRY.
Not to mention that show for the late great Joan Diener, DESCRY FOR US ALL! Swing your bag!

Lots of room for the homeless to encamp...have you considered inviting them home until the Library goes back on normal hours?

I follow the rule: "Charity begins at someone elses's home".

der Brucer

The least of my concerns today, DR der Brucer! That sounds hard-hearted, I know, and I don't deny that homelessness is a huge problem in Dayton. But, I keep telling our administration that it's NOT the library's problem to solve.
-
bk's friends Michael Burns was a guest star on TCB. The series, that is...
Sadly, neither Michael Burns or Michael Parks ever guest starred on me!
-
But, I keep telling our administration that it's NOT the library's problem to solve.
And I'm sure they don't listen - after all, they don't camp out in the Admin Offices.
Do you never have complaints from your intended customers?

I have the same problem when we eat late. It doesn't help late dinners tend to be larger ones.
-
Bruce-Excellent vibes and xylophones the good news becomes GREAT NEWS!
-
DR Ginny-ROOF VIBES!
Thank you DRs George & Singdaw. I wish I could say my foot is better today, unfortunately the pain has spread. The good news is, it only hurts when I walk.
FJL & DP Skip, I wishing you new & exciting activity with THE LAST STARFIGHTER.
-
From TCB:
Don't worry, Jane, I am sure there are a lot of gentlemen who would be happy to rent a room to Craig!
LOL-There is also the cat, AND the girlfriend. I think not.
-
And I'm sure they don't listen - after all, they don't camp out in the Admin Offices.
Do you never have complaints from your intended customers?
der Brucer
Yes, der B, the front-line people get complaints all the time and I get them when I'm offsite representing the Library. Unfortunately, the complaints usually aren't made to the folks who work behing the glass doors on the second floor.
-
DR Ginny-ROOF VIBES!
...
Thanks, DR Jane! That avalanche just slid off the roof while Richard and I were sitting in the family room eating our lunch.
And, yes, to your earlier question. I did sleep in this morning - until about 8:15, which is late for me. It was nice not to have to go through the motions of getting ready for work and I'm going to send our director an email thanking him for making the decision/announcement last night about today's closing.
-
We are certainly lucking out on the weather today. Forecasts vacillated between 6 to 8 inches OR 3 to 5; now it has finally snowed and the forecast for this "winter storm" is "possibly up to an inch." ;D

You must have been relieved to watch the mini-avalanche :D.
That is thoughtful to send the thank you email. I bet your director also wanted to sleep in this morning ;)

Slightly further north, they had major accumulations, Jane.
Lake Erie is frozen solid with up to 14 inches of ice.
Even Cranberry Township, which is less than 20 miles north of me, had major accumulation this morning.
-
Through that same kitchen window I just watched a guy go down Central Avenue on cross-country skis.

It is amazing how such a short distance can have such a drastic change in the weather. We see it here all the time when we go into town.
I guessing the weather in Shadyside is similar to your weather.

DR's DerBrucer, Ron, Danise, & other Stargate fans; I just put STARGATE: THE ARK OF TRUTH on my NetFlix queue. :) I moved it to the number one spot. It will be interesting to see how soon it arrives after the March 11th release date.
-
Torrential rains here. That is all.
-
I still haven't watched PROJECT RUNWAY's finale show. (BTW, I saw the ratings which must have pleased Bravo very much. No question that we'll get another season of this show. I'm happy about that.)
They announced the auditions for next season. LA, Chicago, NYC, Miami and Charlotte, NC (just kidding)
-
Earlier this week, DH Richard and DS Rob exchanged cars for Richard to have some work done on Rob's. Here's Rob's car parked in front of our house, where it's likely to stay for a while longer:
-
While Richard cleared the driveway...
-
...I worked on the walk and front porch.
-
That's what makes him so fun- he always keeps you guessing about what piece of furniture or category of clothing he will attack next. Never a dull moment.
;D He and Boo Boo would have a hey day together
-
Do they actually arrest people for driving in the snow?
I've never heard of them arresting people. I have heard of them saying that conditions are so bad if you go in the ditch we won't be looking for you til the weather gets better. I also think it's a liability thing. You are essentially driving at your own risk - if you get in an accident and die, don't sue us
-
Ginny, it looks like you live in a great neighborhood. I love the backyard and all the trees
-
Do they actually arrest people for driving in the snow?
We've never tempted them!

Thanks, DR Cillaliz. I always thought they'd get you for something else and add the violation of the snow emergency to the offense.
-
It's cloudy here. I've been at the office most of the day. I got here and realized immediately that I needed to go to Staples and get some supplies, so I did that and have had a very productive day. I got 1 of the 3 things done, but got about 15 others done that weren't on the list. So that's ok. I'm going to pack up some work and go home and clean
-
We've never tempted them! Thanks, DR Cillaliz. I always thought they'd get you for something else and add the violation of the snow emergency to the offense.
That's probably right. I think it's there so if they need to get you off the street they can do it.
-
Well, I'm off for now. Laters gaters and stinky cheese graters (wasn't that the line from October Road?)
-
Ginny, it looks like you live in a great neighborhood. I love the backyard and all the trees
Thanks! It's an older part of town and we like it a lot. We used to have even more trees, especially in the front yard. We've lost a pine tree to the left of the driveway and a couple of trees in the yard to the right.
-
The apartment bathroom, kitchen area, and clothes closet are now good and clean. I still have two more CD shelves to do, but all the things that needed to go into mothballs for the next two weeks are bagged and sealed. Tomorrow morning, I'll mop the floor with Steri-Fab before I head off to the movies.
Now, some writing.
-
It is amazing how such a short distance can have such a drastic change in the weather. We see it here all the time when we go into town.
Heck, I even see it in my house, from one room to another!
-
Heck, I even see it in my house, from one room to another!
While I was doing the CD shelves, I saw the finale of MILLIONAIRE MATCHMAKER and the first in this new series about rich pretentious twits called THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW YORK CITY. Nouveau pour les jours!
-
Yes, the ice storm I enjoyed was in my DVD player. We actually have a lovely late winter/early spring day here.
-
The sun is shining here in SW Ohio and it has stopped snowing - for now.
-
I did finally watch the PROJECT RUNWAY finale while I cooked and ate lunch. All three designers had interesting and beautiful creations. Obviously I preferred the designs of the one who finished second, but I could see the judges' reasoning behind their #1 pick. I didn't agree with it, but I could see where they were coming from.
I do wish we could have seen the collections for the two designers who finished fourth and fifth and who also showed at Fashion Week (though not in PROJECT RUNWAY competition.)
-
Next, I istened to the audio commentary for THE ICE STORM. Ang Lee's English is just still foreign-influenced enough to be funny and endearing. His producer partner (who also wrote the script) did the majority of the talking and their close friendship was obvious. Lots of nice bits of information dissiminated in the commentary.
-
We're down to a Level 2 snow emergency now. That means that they still advise against driving, but they're not threatening arrest.
-
When I go back down, I'll watch the second disc of bonus features. I assume there will be 4-6 featurettes/documentaries concerning the movie. Should be very interesting content in these.
-
Back from doing stuff.
-
Off to watch the bonus features on THE ICE STORM.
I got the HD-DVD version of FORBIDDEN PLANET in the mail today and watched the first 6 chapters of it this afternoon as well. If I have time, I'll finish that up tonight too before TORCHWOOD!
-
Spoo!
WBBL.
-
I went to the Apple Store this morning and I'm happy to say that a helpful fellow taught me how to use Garage Band, so that I can now record and sing right from my piano right into the computer - very handy and it works great - I can play the piano first, then lay the vocal over it, and if a song has three counterpoint sections I can do them all. Then it goes directly into iTunes.
-
Trying to send an mp3 of what I did just now, but it ain't sending.
-
Will we never get to page six?
-
I just changed all my clockes & watches. I'll be retiring early tonight, as well.
SUCH an exciting life! :)
-
"Garage Band" sounds cool.
-
Got my car back from the garage today - routine servicing. And I suspect I escaped at considerably less cost than did DR JRand57.
-
Back from the tax office, caught up, but no time to post before dinner. :(
-
Got my car back from the garage today
Did you notice a band there?
-
I just bought a ticket to see a 65 year old Jesus---Ted Neeley. My DH wasn't interested in going, so I bought a single ticket and probably got the best seat in the house for hte last show tomorrow. It's being staged at our new performance arts center. I've never been, so I'm looking forward to seeing it, and the show!
You'd think at 65 that Jesus is about ready to retire now!
-
Did you notice a band there?
Oh! There was a band for sale in BKs garage and Singdaw picked it up in his car. I get it
-
That is a lot of snow DR Ginny...an nary a snowman in sight!
Here is sunny and coolish.
-
I took Dog Bosco in for his yearly spring cleaning...bath and haircut! I must now go and pick him up. He will have much less fur now.
-
A couple years ago, when I started having trouble with this old lap top...oh sheesh that must have been almost 3 years ago, anyway, I let the husband of one of my former coworkers "fix" it for me. He designed the thing so I figured he could fix it.
Of course he didn't tell me it had a design flaw, he also didn't tell me he installed a bogus version of Windows XP, so here I am reformatting and installing the original version that came with the computer becasue the new "Validation tool" won't let me get online with the old version.
It's just as well. I haven't put much on this computer yet anyway, so I can start fresh. I can't believe how well it's working now that I fixed it
-
That is a lot of snow DR Ginny...an nary a snowman in sight!
...
They'll probably start popping up tomorrow. Until late this afternoon, it was too blustery even for kids to be out playing in the snow.
Did I mention that banks and shopping centers were closed around here? That's a sign it's really bad.
-
Maybe I shouldn't say that until I get this reinstalled.
-
Uh-oh it's been saying it will be complete in 13 minutes for well....at least that long if not longer....
-
Oh, and we had no mail delivery, either.
-
Think I'll just go eat dinner and see if it's made any progress when I get done.
-
Oh, and we had no mail delivery, either.
Neither rain, nor sleet,nor dark of night.....
Lots of snow.....forget about it!~
-
DR Cillaliz - LOL!
-
Oh Whew! it just did something different. It still says 13 minutes, but now it's installing the media player so maybe I'm ok
-
I'll Descry Tomorrow.

Last night I watched A RAGE TO LIVE...wow...I just love Suzanne Pleshette, and this role was certainly different then her role in, say, GEISHA BOY! And Ben Gazzara should not have been allowed to go "commando" in this movie...it was very distracting.
The cast was wonderful...Bethel Leslie (such a strange looking woman), Linden Chiles (yummy!), Mark Goddard (evil and yummy)...and, I had forgotten how yummy Peter Graves was....hmmmm...I maybe I am starting to have a rage to live!
Mike, with Ben Gazzara going commando, and Mark (Lost In Space) Goddard and Linden Chiles looking yummy; I am amazed that you even noticed Bethel Leslie.
-
DR SINGDAW I got away for only $157 + a work order for about $800 worth of needed work, now that my warranty has expired. I passed on it.
But brake light out on the list was not told me, and when I noticed it, I bought a bulb for $1.37 and replaced it myself....well....that's another story.
-
I bought a steak at the store for dinner. Not sure if I'll just broil it or cut it into strips and do some sort of fajitas with it...hmmm
-
Not to mention that show for the late great Joan Diener, DESCRY FOR US ALL! Swing your bag!
Or DESCRY FOR ME AREGENTINA?
-
I am so glad that you enjoyed A RAGE TO LIVE, DR MBARNUM, and I am excited about receiving my copy.
Of course a special box of goodies known and unknown is on its way to your house.
As for DRIVING during a Snow Emergency in Indiana - you are subject to ticket and fine AND your insurance is null and void.

Tuna glop and peas for dinner here!
-
For all the THEN CAME BRONSON fans, here and everywhere:

I think that Michael Parks has now officially appeared in more pictures on this site today, than he did in his entire career!
-
Tuna glop and peas for dinner here!
Sounds like the perfect comfort food for a cold and snowy day
-
Oh, and we had no mail delivery, either.
Neither snow, nor rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night.............
Whoops, sorry!!!
-
I think that Michael Parks has now officially appeared in more pictures on this site today, than he did in his entire career!
For all we know, that is a picture of Michael Parks going commando in the snow in Ohio.
-
BK has GarageBand, only in the past two weeks did I discover the joy of LightScribe on my computer! Now all those trades I make on castalbums.org become lovely little discs with my own brand of photos, graphics and fonts!
-
While Richard cleared the driveway...
Ginny, I like your neighborhood. How long have you lived there?
-
As for DRIVING during a Snow Emergency in Indiana - AND your insurance is null and void.
You mean null and void during the emergency, not forever? What if you have an emergency?
-
Did I mention that banks and shopping centers were closed around here?
The only banks open are snow banks. ;D
-
The items packed away in moth balls were getting to me, so I carted the bags up to my storage space. Now I'm back, I beleve I will order a pizza and watch something from Netflux, probably STARDUST.
-
For all we know, that is a picture of Michael Parks going commando in the snow in Ohio.
I'm guessing it's from John Huston's THE BIBLE, in which he played Adam.
-
DR elmore, do you like the smell of moth balls? I am allergic to them and doubt I could ever use the items again. ???
-
I think that Michael Parks has now officially appeared in more pictures on this site today, than he did in his entire career!
Well, his imdb listing is up to #126, so we'd better get busy!
-

Give the lady a prize!
(I didn't have to guess). ;)
-

I'll do my share in getting Michael Parks up that imdb listing up.
-
Ginny, I like your neighborhood. How long have you lived there?
June 7 of this year will be the 20th anniversary of our move into this house.
-
The only banks open are snow banks. ;D
Yup, all along both sides of our driveway!
-
June 7 of this year will be the 20th anniversary of our move into this house.
Wow! That is wonderful. In July we will have lived here 10 years. Prior to this house the longest we lived anywhere was 5 1/2 years, in our Pennsylvania home.
-
I would like to see the Michael Parks movies from the 60's: THE WILD SEED , THE HAPPENING (one of my favorite movie theme songs, by The Supremes) and BUS RILEY'S BACK IN TOWN. I liked them all when I was a kid (my memory is probably being kind to them) but none of them seem to be released on DVD.
I may very well watch the TCB with Michael Burns tonight, in honor of the TOD.
-
You mean null and void during the emergency, not forever? What if you have an emergency?
During the emergency only, DR JANE. Emergency travel is allowed - but it damn well better be a REAL emergency....running out of ciggies does not count! ;D
-
Page Seven Check from Judy Garland Dance.
Can you hold it until Friday?
-
DR elmore, do you like the smell of moth balls? I am allergic to them and doubt I could ever use the items again. ???
No, I'm not. That's why the bags are now in my storage space. Moth balls kill mites, and most of my bedding is now packed away.
-
Michael Burns does his MBarnum impersonation:
-
That's weird---it looks like his head has been photoshopped onto his shoulders.
I wonder how long will it take for Bernadette Peter's head to appear on the body of Michael Burns?
-
I mean, photoshopped in...you know what I mean...
-
Wow! That is wonderful. In July we will have lived here 10 years. Prior to this house the longest we lived anywhere was 5 1/2 years, in our Pennsylvania home.
The only down side to living in the same place for 20 years is that we haven't had the opportunities to purge stuff that you get when you move. We've been better in the last few years about getting rid of stuff, but have a long way to go.
-
I mean, photoshopped in...you know what I mean...
You wuz right the first time. ;D
-

I hear that....been here 37 years.
Time for COPS!!! ;D

So true. I need to do some purging.
-
Oh, I love COPS. It's on in an hour here.
-
That's weird---it looks like his head has been photoshopped onto his shoulders.
I was thinking the same thing.
LOL, guess we were correct.
-
JRand-37 years!! I think that is fantastic.
-
I was in my house for 28 years before we moved to the new one, so there was quite a bit of purging to do. And actually, I still need to do more!
-
I may very well watch the TCB with Michael Burns tonight, in honor of the TOD.
How will you do that?
-
Time for COPS!!! ;D
Are you being busted, JRand?
-
DR elmore, do you like the smell of moth balls? I am allergic to them and doubt I could ever use the items again. ???
My former neighbor, Helen, used to put mothballs around her house to keep rabbits out of her garden. Anytime the wind was from the south I smelled moth balls.
And, when I first moved in, she brought me this pasta dish and it tasted like mothballs. I thought she was trying to poison me or something. I later learned that everything in her house smelled like mothballs too.
-
I just watched another episode of MURDER SHE WROTE over at Netflix.com. This episode was entitled "The Big Show of 1965" and what a wonderful cast of guest stars..... Donald O'Connor, Anne Francis, Connie Stevens, Elaine Joyce, Gavin MacLeod, Donnie Most, Michael Cole, and Sheldon Leonard. What a great episode!
-

Is that check part of your collection, Jrand?
-
Michael Burns does his MBarnum impersonation:
It was originally retouched using Lee Harvey Oswald's head. That isn't really a towel, it is a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle.
-
Good Evening!
Well, the final auditionee's number today was "780"... And thus ends another set of Spring SETC Professional Auditions.
Whew!
;)
-
...And now I'm just trying to figure out if I want to head back over to the other convention hotel for the traditional final night "pizza party". Frankly, I'm feeling a bit worn out right now - the afternoon session just seemed to crawl by for me today - so, we'll see...
-
Well, I think I will go ahead and make and appearance at the party, so... But I do plan to be back in plenty of time to catch Amy Adams on "SNL" tonight.
Laters...
-
For a nice lady, Jessica Fletcher was certainly bad luck. When she was around, your odds of being murdered went up quite a lot, IIRC.
-
Watched another fun movie that was on my DVR...TAKE A GIANT STEP (1959)...JRand, I think you would like it...sort of an African-American THE RESTLESS YEARS...and although it was released by United Artists, everything about it reaked of Universal-International (particularly since it was filmed on the studio's back lot)...and the lead actor, Johnny Nash, was certainly the black John Saxon.
Oh, and Estelle Hemsley co-starred...some may recall her turn as the old, old, old, ancient lady in THE LEECH WOMAN...well, she is very old in this movie too, and she absolutely steals the movie!

Hullo it has been raining for about 30 hours now... as my basement can attest
-
Oh, no!!!
-
That's what I said to myself-"oh no!!!" I've been there and it isn't fun.
BASEMENT VIBES DR VIXMOM!
-
'night
-
The Vixter is in the ensemble for for her high school production Thoroughly Modern Millie she had to supply her own costumes (and she needed 3 differnt ones) fortunately I had in my possession 2 actual 1920's dresses that belonged to my sister-in-laws grandmother that fit the Vixter perfectly but the 3rd had to be a flapper outfit
We visted a local Good Will and found a red dress with the correct hem length and boxy shape and bought yards of 4" red fringe and (since I do not possess a working sewing machine, nor do I now how to use one) I handstiched the fringe to the hem and the neckline which took several hours)
Thursday she brough he costume in for approval and was told it was beautiful but that only Millie was allowed to wear red in that scene so she needed new one... apparently several of the girls had come with red outfits so I do not think the that the director had made that condition plain ... if it had been only Vixter who had missed it would have blamed her for not paying attention
::)
SO Thursday night we visted the Good Will and found another dress and then went searching for fringe and searched and searched and searched
Friday morning I started calling fabric stores in the 15 mile radius and FINALLY found one that had several yards of 4" black fringe so afterwork I zipped over and purchased and which I was stiching to the dress yesterday from 10 PM until 3 AM this morning since she needed it for the dress rehearsal today at 9 AM
-
So I was up at 3 AM when the waters began to invade... so that was actually a good thing as I was able to "dam" the problem areas with our "basement towels" and start the dehumidfier and move items from harm's way.. so - so far so good!
-
Oh, DR Vixmom, I'm sorry about your basement!
-
Actually we are doing allright ... we do get leakage problems in heavy rains but bwing able to dam areas and move stuff ina timely fashion was a stroke of good luck that avodied any loss of stuff....
(we need a good purge here as well)
-
DR vixmom, it seems to me the person in charge of the vixter's production should have been more on top of notifying the parents on what was needed for costumes, I'm sorry you've had needless work and errands.
I've lost my tv remote! Ihave no idea where the fat hell I tossed it this afternoon. I've been looking for an hour now, and I'm certain it's in an obvious place. If it were my cell phone I could dial the number and listen for the ring, but I'm stymied. Oy!
-
This was/is a crazy weekend for Vixter... rehearsal for 4 hours after school yesterday and she was also particpating in The 30 Hour Famine http://www.30hourfamine.org/ with her Church youth group
They stopped eating at noon yesterday and didn't eat until after 4 PM today
After rehearsal I picked her up and she went to area businesses to collect donations for the Famine unbtilthe rains began
thenm home to shower and change and then to the church for an all night LockIn
then I picked her up and dropped her for rehearsal .. while I went and helped unload THE GIRL SCOUT COOKIES from the delivery truck into the GS Leaders' car
-

Do you have a recliner? I lost mine last week and it turned out to have fallen down inside the recliner when I leaned back....
Or did you check to see if you accidenlty bagged it during thelast round of cleaning?
-
After rehearsal and I collected Victer and we went to the local supermarket where we joined other kids from her youth group and to ask for donations of food and $$
One of the dad's and a few of the teeange boys stood at one entrance to the market while I had the Vixter and 2 other younger girls at our entrance
I guess hungry little girls staning in the rain are more pitiful than hungry tall teenage boys because the girls collected a full supermarket cart full of canned goods and $153 to the boys 1/2 cast and $72
-
After several hours of begging we packed up and deposited kids cans and $ tot he church for counting, sorting and feeding and I went to the GS Leaders house and picked up the cookies!!!
They are all in the back of the car still. Hopefully the rain will stop tomorrow and I can unload them all and get them shipped out to everyone
after church, sunday school and the basketball playoff game that is
-
I've lost my tv remote!
DR Elmore, where did you leave it the last time you lost it?
-
The GS were selling cookies in front of Starbucks this morning. It was so cold that people took pity on them and they sold a lot of cookies!
-
DR vixmom, it seems to me the person in charge of the vixter's production should have been more on top of notifying the parents on what was needed for costumes, I'm sorry you've had needless work and errands.
Actually it was a blessing in disguise because otherwise I would have been asleep and not able to catch the basement waters in time
-

LOL!!
-
Well we are losing an hour's sleep tonight and I only had about 3 1/2 hours last night
Tomorrow I have another busy day

Oh noooo---I'm part of the tormented "Blue Jeans" Generation!

The show is next Thursday, Friday and Saturday so I will arange to get pictures sometime during the run!
-
GOOD NIGHT ALL!!!

Tomorrow night: WHEN WEATHER CHANGED HISTORY at 9pm est on the Weather Channel covers the 1927 Great Flood. I saw some of this show when it was dubbing and it looked really well-done, if you like watching natural disasters.
Vixmom----don't watch! You're already having your own Great Flood! (Or maybe it's just a Pretty Good Flood.)
-
BASEMENT VIBES TO THE FAMILY OF VIXMOM! I went through this earlier in the week, though more than likely NOT on your scale. . .at least my basement no longer has that acrid musty smell. . . .
First Michael Parks then Michael Burns! Has there ever been so much peek-a-boo male nudity on HHW in a single day? ? ? ;)
-

Naaa, lived it, don't need to watch it!

Tonight, for the first time in almost thirty years I got to watch the original theatrical version of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. It is the only version that has ever made me cry; and it did it to me again tonight.
-
OKAY..................

Good Evening, again.
I'm back from the Chattanoogan (http://www.chattanooganhotel.com/) - WOW! is that a nice(!) hotel. The auditions staff gathered in the bar for some drinks and food. Fun, fun, fun. I also ended up playing a few rounds of some sort of really cool table-top shuffleboard game, as well as a round of pool (Stripes & Solids - I lost).
And now I'm back at my hotel, and shall be packing my luggage so that I can sleep in a bit tomorrow morning before the limo(!) service comes to pick me up to bring to the airport at 10:30. :)
-
Now, we're getting notifications of church services being cancelled for tomorrow, including at the Anglican church we attend in Cincinnati.
-
For a nice lady, Jessica Fletcher was certainly bad luck. When she was around, your odds of being murdered went up quite a lot, IIRC.
Thank goodness for that. If that hadn't been true, we wouldn't have had the series for 12 years.
-
In June, I will have been in this house 26 years.
-
I spent the first part of the evening watching the supplemental disc for THE ICE STORM. Lots of interesting features with the stars, the director and producer/writer, the production design team, and there were also some deleted scenes.
-
Next, I put back on FORBIDDEN PLANET in HD-DVD. Very excellent quality with colors a bit more aturated than the sDVD, and naturally sharper and with an increased sense of depth.
I do wish it had been filmed in Technicolor, however, instead of Eastmancolor.
-
DR Jose - hope the weather doesn't interfere with your travel tomorrow.
-
TORCHWOOD, I thought, had a kind of fractured episode. Lots of running around but it was never quite clear to me what the power was or how to use it, and the neat looking monster was a great effect but not as effective as previous dire situations.
-
DR Vixmom, sorry about the flooding...your house has a tough time, water just doesn't stay where it is supposed to!
And I am most intrigued by the original 1920s dresses that you have! That is so cool!
-
I'm gonna sign off for the night and go to the other end of the house to watch Amy Adams on SNL.
See y'all tomorrow!
-
I guess it is time to sit down and watch a Bollywood movie...tonights Bollywood film is the recent hit AAJA NACHLE (2007)...it stars 1980s superstar Madhuri Dixit, in her comeback film, and is about a 40-something dance teacher who returns to her home town when her former dance instructor passes away.
Upon her return she finds that land developer wants to demolish the old dance school, and her memories...can she save it! I will soon find out.
(http://images.desihits.com/assets/images/aaja_nachle_madhuri_408_1.jpg)
-
And, if you dare, see part of one of the dance numbers from AAJA NACHLE...really, it is a lot of fun! ;D

Tomorrow I will start on the last of this month's Criterion releases: ANTONIO GAUDI. Another film I've never seen; another 2-disc set so I'll watch the film tomorrow and likely the bonus disc on Monday.
That will leave me open to watch SUPERMAN RETURNS on Blu-ray at some point tomorrow.
-
Now I have some writing to finish up. Then, I'll head downstairs to bed.
Good night!
-
Awwww.... That was cute opening segment on "SNL" - And I'm guessing Mr. Schwartz will be getting another nice royalty check for that too!
-
Back from a lovelier than lovely dinner with Miss Cindy Williams and Mr. Mark Rothman (aka The Brain).

TV Reminder:
[size=8]TORCHWOOD!!![/size][/glow]
I recorded it and I'm watching it right now! :D
-
Finally, my computer is done updating. I think it's going to work great. It only started to crash once tonight and that was downloading Windows XP service pack 2 which is a screwy thing anyway.
-
I watched Infamous tonight. I was a little surprised at how much it differs from Capote. But I did enjoy watching it.
Time for bed. I need to be on the road early in the morning. Night!
-
Saturday Snow Day morning greetings! Our county is now on a Level 3 snow emergency, which means:
All roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel. No one should be driving during this condition unless it is absolutely necessary or a personal emergency exists. All employees should contact their employer to see if they should report for work. Anyone traveling on the roads may subject themselves to arrest.
:o I've never heard of anything like this!
-
I watched something short and sweet. And now, I'm the only one in the jernt.
-
I was in my house for 28 years before we moved to the new one, so there was quite a bit of purging to do. And actually, I still need to do more!
I've been living at my place for a year and five months, and I still haven't gotten much out of boxes. I don't feel so bad, now. ;)
-
Congratulations to DR George on your refi! I would spend all that "found" money on DVDs and CDs... :P
I wish I could, but I need to save some for my property taxes and to pay back my mom who paid for the closing costs.
-
Well, I think I will go ahead and make and appearance at the party, so... But I do plan to be back in plenty of time to catch Amy Adams on "SNL" tonight.
Laters...
I totally forgot to watch this...but I remembered to record it. :) I can watch it from the beginning.
-
I just bought a ticket to see a 65 year old Jesus---Ted Neeley. My DH wasn't interested in going, so I bought a single ticket and probably got the best seat in the house for hte last show tomorrow. It's being staged at our new performance arts center. I've never been, so I'm looking forward to seeing it, and the show!
You'd think at 65 that Jesus is about ready to retire now!
This is the same tour that came to Olympia last year! I worked backstage with the wardrobe people and got to meet Ted! He was very, very nice! I really didn't get to see much of the show itself. I hope you enjoy it!
-
I wonder if I can post enough posts to get to page 10.
-
Today's rehearsal went quite well. We had a full run-through...without costume, of course.
-
Tomorrow, we're supposed to have rehearsal from 1:00 pm until 7:00. It's gonna be a long day. :P
-
We're also supposed to have a costume parade tomorrow. I have some slacks and a shirt for the opening number, and then I change into my Dolly Dimples outfit for the rest of the show.
-
During the New Year's Eve party scene in the second act, I've been told that I'll have a costume that fits over my Dolly Dimples drag, so that I won't have to take that off. I love easy costume changes...and I have a LOT of time before and after the change. :D

I think that Michael Parks has now officially appeared in more pictures on this site today, than he did in his entire career!
Except that they're all the same picture! ::)
Aren't there any others??
