Well, you've read the notes, you've pardoned the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the ranting cows come home.

Today's notes have yesterday's date. That is all.

Well, I need to go to sleep. Our call time for every day this week is 5:30 pm, and that's pretty early for me. I ususally get to work later than most people ;) and leave later, also. So, I now need to get to work earlier than I usually and leave in time to get something to eat and get to the theater by 5:30. So, off to bed am I.
Good night, all.
-
Welcome twelve GUESTS.

Today's notes have yesterday's date. That is all.
Oy and vey - another byproduct of this stupid early daylight savings time. Our timestamp won't change until the real daylight savings time comes along.

I could be wrong, but I think the only investor worried about his investment has already been compensated.
-
And I always follow Sitting Bull's three rules:
Don't eat red meat.
Don't drink firewater.
Don't invest in show business.
-
Well none of them really.
-
And the word of the day is: ACRITOCHROMACY!
And The Song Of The Day Is: I USED TO BE COLOR BLIND
-
Monday morning greetings! A new work week and many "how did you get along in the snowstorm" stories.
My mother and her siblings all have acritochromacy. My sister and I do not, but have been told that we could have transmitted it to our children. When the pediatrician gave a test like the one that DR Singdaw posted earlier to our DS Rob, I watched over his shoulder holding my breath until Rob indentified the teddy bear in the picture.
-
Good morning, all! Count me amongst the Daylight Savings Loathers! The alarm went off at 7, and I knew it was still 6 am, no matter what the man is trying to sell me.
So, I'm out of bed and showered and on my first cup of coffee. Today, I have to hit the NYPL, which doesn't open till noon, to look at an unpublished memoir about the founding of ASCAP, return my signed contract to Rodgers & Hammerstein, stop at the pharmacy, and write a few words about Victor Herbert's work. I also have a phone call to make concerning a small FANTASTICKS job.
I'm getting old; I swear I never saw any NIGHT GALLERY episodes and I have next to no memory of TWILIGHT ZONE except for Agnes Morehead and the astronauts.
-
Here in Arizona, we have no need to save daylight in the summertime. If we could, we'd give some back!
-
Good morning!
Beautiful day and looks to be a beautiful week with highs every day in the 60s. Spring is arriving a bit early this year.
-
TV Reminders:
two new episodes of OLD CHRISTINE (8:30 and 9:30)
new MEDIUM
premiere of CANTERBURY'S LAW, a new legal drama with Juliana Margules (8 p.m.)
new episode of NEW AMSTERDAM (9 p.m.)
And I'm sure DR Jennifer will be watching the BACHELOR special detailing what's happened to previous "Bachelors" on the show.
-
The great and most memorable episodes of TWLIGHT ZONE would fill this entire page.
Off the top of my head:
"Eye of the Beholder" (probably will always be the most shocking episode I ever saw of the show)
"The After Hours"
"22" (haunted me for weeks after I saw it)
"The Howling Man"
"The Odyssey of Flight 33"
"Time Enough at Last"
"Living Doll" (Talking Tina, another one that chilled my blood)
"Nightmare at 20,000 Feet"
"The Dummy"
"To Serve Man"
:The Hitch-Hiker"
-
NIGHT GALLERY had fewer memorable shows though some of the best were really unforgettable.
My favorites:
the pilor episode which had three very wonderful stories
"They're Tearing Down Tim Riley's Bar"
"Green Fingers"
"Camera Obscura"
"The Caterpillar"
"The Sins of the Fathers"
"The Ring with the Red Velvet Ropes"
"Spectre in Tap Shoes"
-
Today I'll finish the bonus disc in the ANTONIO GAUDI set. Unless I get some discs in today's mail, I'm at the bottom of my current review stack. This means I'll get to sample some DVDs, Blu-rays, and HD-DVDs from the stacks overpowering me at the moment.
-
I did have a good night's sleep last night, surprising for the night after the DST switch. I slept very poorly the night we switched over.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I have to head out of here shortly for a very short - one hour - casting session in midtown, and then it's back here to take of some laundry, and sort through some mail.
-
As for "Night Gallery", hmm... I think I've mentioned this one before, and I'm still not sure if it really was a "Night Gallery" episode or some other copy-cat program, but... It was a take on the Dorian Gray story, and the "Dorian" character was named "Jose". So, the final scene involved his wife/lover/girlfriend/??? pounding on the guy's door while yelling, "Jose! Jose! Jose?!?".
-
Ah, those Color Blindness tests... Each year in high school, they would line us up in the gym, and we would get our height and weight(!) measured, as well as take those color-differentiation number tests. -It was a nice way to get out of a class. ;) -Well, maybe except for the weight part since the nurse's assistant would always ended up "yelling" the numbers over to the person who was writing them all down. It was slightly traumatic for some of the girls and the boys having that information become "public".

And, now, Ladies and Gentleman and Assorted Lurkers...

And on that note - well, image - I shall take my leave of you now. So...
Laters...
-
I didn't buy the first season of NIGHT GALLERY when it came out on DVD. Now I'm kind of sorry I didn't. I'll have to see if it's still available and at what price. (I think I passed on it because it was overpriced.)
It must not have sold well since they haven't issued the remaining two seasons.
-
PAGE TWO "NIGHT GALLERY" DANCE!
(http://i3.iofferphoto.com/img/item/325/862/56/Night_Gallery.jpg)
That's from one of my fave NG episodes--with Fritz Weaver, IIRC (the pilot). The pilot also had another of my faves, with Joan Crawford as the eye transplant lady on the night of the big NYC blackout. Loved, loved, loved it.

We might be able to work out another trade, Matt. ;D

I also had the original Night Gallery book with the written versions of the three stories from the pilot. Night Gallery got pretty silly pretty quickly, though Spielberg cut his teeth on some early episodes.
-
We might be able to work out another trade, Matt. ;D
I'm open for trade!!!

Now I must head downstairs to get cleaned up for my lunch out today with best friend John.

Anyone remember the name of Joan Crawford's character in her Night Gallery episode?
-
We had some excitement, yes some EXCITEMENT here in Mooresville Indiana this morning.
I went to get a newspaper for my father, and then went around the corner to the car wash, since the sun was shining and my PT Cruiser was not.
While I was using the vacuum on my floor mats, someone started honking a horn....and honking and honking.
After a bit I turned around and realized a lady in a van was STUCK in the automatic wash bay. Neither exit nor entrance door would rise. The exit door was up about three feet.
Well another gentleman and I looked and looked, called the number and got a recording, and then went under the door to see what we could see.
Finally - the company called the other gentleman back on his cell phone and told him where the top secret nobody knows raise the door button was.
And so the day was saved. She said thanks many times, went into a self service bay to wash the foam off her van that had sprayed when someone (!) pushed the wrong button. She only had a dollar bill, so I gave her six quarters to do that.
She said thanks again, and drove off with a clean car and story to tell the folks at work.

Favorite Twilight Zone episodes:
TO SERVE MAN
LIVING DOLL
THE MONSERS ARE DUE ON MAPLE STREET
I don't have any favorite NIGHT GALLERY episodes because I was rarely able to get past the opening of the show...scared the living day out of me! Same with The Outer Limits....I still get chills from the theme music to both shows.
I have a huge amount of THRILLER and ONE STEP BEYOND episodes to watch one of these days. Up to now I have only seen a few episodes of each show.
-
TOD:
Night Gallery - The Boy Who Predicted Earthquakes.
Starring Clint Howard as the titular boy.
Clint Howard also played a very creepy alien named Balak in an episode of the original Star Trek called "The Corbomite Maneuver." He has gone on to appear in many of his brother Ronny's movies, and still looks creepy, but now it's natural instead of done with make-up.
-
DR MBarnum - I saw several snowmen on my way to work this morning. One was in front of the fire department in Franklin, OH.
And what do you suppose he was wearing on his head?

On the first page, DR Slunglow posted part of the Ishihara color test, which I would have gladly re-posted here except that I didn't want us to be in VistaVision for two pages in a row.
I used to love these tests, because I could not only see the pattern on them for normal vision, but also discern the patterns for non-normal vision. I drove more than a couple of testers batty because I could do this, and they were convinced that I had somehow memorized the test cards and was therefore cheating (yeah, right, like who memorizes random dots?).

DR GINNY temps in the 40's and 50's headed your way!
-
And I'm sure DR Jennifer will be watching the BACHELOR special detailing what's happened to previous "Bachelors" on the show.
Actually nope. I haven't watched the Bachelor in years. I did watch the first few seasons. But did not like how they kept saying they were in love (in post show interviews) only to break up the next week.
On tv for me tonight:
MEDIUM.
2 hour finale of OCTOBER ROAD.
DAMAGES.
I don't think i will try the new law show tonight. I"m not in love with the star. And i've not really heard that much about the show that makes it seem like i'd want to watch it.
BTW, DR MattH, I've now seen like 4 episodes of the sanitized DEXTER. And i really like it.

DR GINNY temps in the 40's and 50's headed your way!

Today's hilarious moment of Political Correctness Department:
I'm listing these piles and piles of screeners I have on eBay and went to do the new 2 DVD release of the SciFi miniseries "Tin Man." According to Muze and eBay, its star is one Alan C******.
-
Wonder what they would do with Fanny Farmer.
-
Good Afternoon!
I'm back from my brief(!) audition session, and I've just enjoyed a late brunch too.
-And I have to say, it's a beautiful day outside right now! A good day for a walk... Around the Reservoir possibly.

From td:
You should see what's occurring in my attic. . .
LOL-I used to have something like that going on in my attic, unfortunately it was destroyed a few years back-DARN ;D
I wondered if photo was taken at Border’s or some quaint little shop near you. Does Starbucks (gasp) count as quaint?

Here's something fun that Richard just emailed to me:
Subject: Retirement Choices
Where to Live After Retirement
You can live in Phoenix, Arizona where... 1. You are willing to park 3 blocks away because you found shade. 2. You've experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl. 3. You can drive for 4 hours in one direction and never leave town. 4. You have over 100 recipes for Mexican food. 5.

You can live in California where... 1. You make over $250,000 and you still can't afford to buy a house. 2. The fastest part of your commute is going down your driveway. 3. You know how to eat an artichoke. 4. You drive your rented Mercedes to your neighb orhood block party. 5. When someone asks you how far something is, you tell them how long it will take to get there rather than how many miles away it is . 6. The four seasons are: Fire, Flood, Mud, and Drought.
You can live in New York City where... 1. You say 'the city' and expect everyone to know you mean Manhattan. 2. You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park, but can't find Wisconsin on a map. 3. You think Central Park is 'nature,' 4. You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multi-lingual. 5. You've worn out a car horn. 6. You think eye contact is an act of aggression.
You can live in Maine where... 1. You only have four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup, and Tabasco. 2. Halloween costumes fit over parkas. 3. You have more than one recipe for moose. 4.

You can live in the Midwest where... 1. You've never met any celebrities, but the mayor knows your name. 2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor. 3. You have had to switch from 'heat' to 'A/C' on the same day. 4 . You end sentences with a preposition: 'Where's my coat at?' 5. When asked how your trip was to any exotic place, you say , 'It was different!'
You can live in Florida where... 1. You eat dinner at 3:15 in the afternoon. 2.. All purchases include a coupon of some kind -- even houses and cars. 3. Everyone can recommend an excellent dermatologist. 4. Road construction never ends anywhere in the state. 5. Cars in front of you are often driven by headless people.

DR Jane - Are you linking those pics from your e-mail account? -They're not showing up on my end. ???
-
That's a lot of excitement in Mooresville, JRand!
-
And now, I must go to the police station.
-
Hmm... Well, that is his name. Alan Cumming.
Yes, Jose, except that the pre-filled eBay listing has the asterisks instead of the name.
-
DR Jane - Are you linking those pics from your e-mail account? -They're not showing up on my end. ???
I can't see the pictures either. :(
-
Oh, my. I slept till almost eleven (I only got about four hours the night before), and I've been playing catchup and ketchup ever since I got up. They changed the location of our music rehearsal this evening, which I'm not too thrilled about, and I've told them I need more than a day's notice if they're going to do that. So, other than having directions (which I had to get) I have no clew where I'm going.
-
DR Jane - Are you linking those pics from your e-mail account? -They're not showing up on my end. ???
;D Yes, but why can I see them and you can't?
-
Jose or George, may I forward the email to you to copy the photos and post?
-
Bruce-Excellent vibes and xylophones for, sooner rather than later,
good news this week!

I was so very pleased with myself that I was able to post the photos ;D
I can link some from on-line, I think I can anyway. I thought this was easier and the photos I had were better.
-
Then I got the news that one of our ensemble girls dropped out, so I now have to replace her. It was the person our choreographer had wanted as his dance captain, so not sure what we'll do about that, but she was a really weak singer and we had a couple of other candidates who were better.

CONTINUED VIBES FOR DANISE! At least the fever was down this morning, may it stay there!

Yes!!
~~~Continued Get Better Vibes for DR Danise!!~~~
-
DR George, that doesn't sound like fun. At least you didn't use a home, cold, waxing kit. I don't think they even sell those anymore, and for good reason.
-
I also want my hour of sleep back; actually I want my entire night of sleep I missed returned to me. While I was walking yesterday a neighbors dog ran up and smashed her head up into my left hand (oh, the joys of being loved so much). My hand was slightly bent so she got my knuckles and jarred up through the wrist and forearm. I’m better this morning & the swelling in my finger has gone done, but my fingers, hand, wrist & forearm sure ached last night.
Darn, I’m so tired I completely forgot I left a pot of basmati on the stove to boil. Since I’m running the dryer I didn’t hear it boiling over. As I walked into the kitchen I smelled it burning. I fear I have ruined a good pot.
-
DR Jane - OUCH!
-
A Home Cold Waxing Kit - that's the title of my next novel.

I had better take Sherlock for a walk before his class.

DR Jane - OUCH!
Sometimes it is touch being a woman. I did manage to get it off before I feinted from the pain. ;D

NO WAXING!!! That is NOT an option!!

LOL-That's good. Actually heated wax is ok.
Thanks for the vibes. Now I'm worried I'll catch what Keith has; fever, chills, a dry bronchial sounding cough, muscle aches.=-oh my. Vibes to my guy. I really don't like the sound of the cough.

Vibes to Jane, for her hand, and Keith, for his illness. Sounds like what I had and it's NO FUN.

Quite a holiday day today in Tomovoz land...
Labour Day [in Tasmania]
Commonwealth Day [in Victoria]
Eight Hours Day [??]
Labour Day in Victoria and Tasmania (It was called 8 hours day at one time)
Commonwealth day - NOT.
(I think May 24th may have been renamed Commonwealth day - it was "Empire Day". The day is still celebrated in Canada I think).
We celebrate May 24 for DP Colin's birthday.
-
Sometimes it is touch being a woman. I did manage to get it off before I feinted from the pain. ;D
And sometimes it is feel being a man!

Gorgeous day out. I didn't even need a jacket although my friend wore one. It's cooler inside my house that outside today.
-
The bonus features on the second disc of ANTONIO GAUDI were voluminous. And several of the programs were an hour or more in length, so I just barely got finished with them before heading upstairs.
Since the movie is not a documentary at all of the architect but rather a mood piece on his designs, I was grateful there were two really good biographical/travelogue pieces about him and his work on the second disc - both BBC programs. One was produced and directed by Ken Russell, one of his artist documentaries he was so famous for before becoming a feature film director.
-
I did have enough time left this afternoon to speed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. No Luke and Noah and they're not in the previews for tomorrow either.
-
So, in the mail today, I got the three BOURNE films on HD-DVD (on fire sale at Amazon and ended up costing me about $8.50 for each movie; amazing.)
I'll be watching the third one tonight on HD-DVD (the only one I didn't see in the theater). This is the one that won three Oscars a couple of weeks ago so I'm very eager to see it.
-
TOTD
I doubt I've ever seen the shows.
I do like the Manhattan Transfer's song.

They just changed the rehearsal location AGAIN.

'As the World Turns' fans want more action for gay couple (http://www.sovo.com/2008/3-7/arts/television/8230.cfm)
It has been more than 160 days since “Nuke’s” lips met onscreen, but “As The World Turns,” producers are watching the media attention fans have generated. Tharrington declined several invitations to share upcoming plot lines, but she asked that fans have faith.
“I can’t give away the whole story, but I can say tune in to see how life and love develops for Luke and Noah,” she says.

The sights of kissing/lovemaking I can be very patient with (though I still think it's absurd to think hormonal college guys aren't going to be jumping in the sack at every opportunity).
It's the hackneyed storylines they involve the couple in that seem ridiculous.

The Dell technician came to the office today and installed a new motherboard in my good laptop. Wow! Not only has it stopped the shorting out thing it was doing but it's working a lot better. Glad I had the warranty.

He also discovered a glob of cat hair near the fan. So my computer is running cooler now that it no longer has a hairball

What's this fuss about the governor being involved in a prosecution ring? Isn't that a good thing, I mean he's an ex-prosecutor...
No. Miss Litella, that's a prostitution ring
Oh. Never mind.

Regarding yesterday's phone exchange discussion, ours was EMerson 2-. I, too remember party lines- we didn't have one but I had farm friends who had them and we used to pick up and listen to people talk when we were kids - calling our own number and hanging up to make the phone ring. We used to be terrible brats playing on the phone....

Whoever recommended Wonderfalls here (Elmore, perchance?): thank you! We started watching last night and are loving it. It was fun to see it was yet another show that my friend Krista Vernoff is/was involved in. She was a singing waitress on the ship I was MD for for years, many years ago. Her sister was in some Woody Allen movie, but I forget which one.

Yep. It was me. I loved the series. I knew Sebastien Dhavernas, the father of the leading lady, back in my Drama Book Shop days.

Now our musical director won't be arriving until 7:45. I'm not happy right now, and I've fired off a strong but nice e-mail about it.

I haven't had any news on all day, so I don't know what I missed. I thought Arizona had the stupid governors.

bk - now that they've changed the time [once] and location [twice] of your rehearsal, better make sure that they haven't changed the show!

Favorite Twilight Zone episodes:
TO SERVE MAN
LIVING DOLL
THE MONSERS ARE DUE ON MAPLE STREET
I don't have any favorite NIGHT GALLERY episodes because I was rarely able to get past the opening of the show...scared the living day out of me! Same with The Outer Limits....I still get chills from the theme music to both shows.
I have a huge amount of THRILLER and ONE STEP BEYOND episodes to watch one of these days. Up to now I have only seen a few episodes of each show.
ONE STEP BEYOND was the show that scared the feathers out of me. The music alone was scary, but some of the epsiodes gave me nightmares for days nights. I always swore that I would never watch that program again..... but I did.
And then there was the THRILLER episode about the mirror.
It is ironic that in these days of Freddy Krueger and Jason and the Friday the 13th guy; those terrifying dramas of our youth seem rather harmless today.

Where to Live After Retirement
You can live in New York City where... 1. You say 'the city' and expect everyone to know you mean Manhattan. 2. You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park, but can't find Wisconsin on a map. 3. You think Central Park is 'nature,' 4. You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multi-lingual. 5. You've worn out a car horn. 6. You think eye contact is an act of aggression. **
** You still call it 6th Avenue.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, cause they're your pictures?

I also want my hour of sleep back; actually I want my entire night of sleep I missed returned to me. While I was walking yesterday a neighbors dog ran up and smashed her head up into my left hand (oh, the joys of being loved so much). My hand was slightly bent so she got my knuckles and jarred up through the wrist and forearm. I’m better this morning & the swelling in my finger has gone done, but my fingers, hand, wrist & forearm sure ached last night.
Darn, I’m so tired I completely forgot I left a pot of basmati on the stove to boil. Since I’m running the dryer I didn’t hear it boiling over. As I walked into the kitchen I smelled it burning. I fear I have ruined a good pot.
Jane, you and my sister would be quite a pair! She slipped in the bathroom on New Year's Eve. She had just recovered from that when she tripped coming out of a restaurant and broke different ribs. Last week she was fighting the virus that is running thru the Northwest. Today she finally returned to work and the first thing she showed was her thumb which she broke on Saturday.

You can live in the Midwest where... 1. You've never met any celebrities, but the mayor knows your name. 2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor. 3. You have had to switch from 'heat' to 'A/C' on the same day. 4 . You end sentences with a preposition: 'Where's my coat at?' 5. When asked how your trip was to any exotic place, you say , 'It was different!'
TEN CARS!!! That's an awful lot of cars waiting for a tractor....I'd say 5 is a traffic jam. At 10 they are alerting the local news

Actually, that is really an unfair (and rather snarky) comment. Capital Playhouse is actually one of the most successful theaters in the Northwest, due in large part to their Artistic Director. The proof of that can be found in shows such as their recent SWEENEY TODD starring Jarrod Emick.

Good Evening!
Well, my friend and fellow foodie, Michael, called me up a few hours ago asking, "So, where are we going for dinner?" So, I met him down at 125th & Broadway, and we walked east along 125th until we got to Manna's Soul Food Buffet. YUM! There are three locations of Manna's in Harlem - all along 125th - and each one is set up a little differently, however, they all feature the same delicious food. I stuck to my usual selections: stewed okra & tomatoes, mac'n'cheese, collard greens, meatloaf, etc. And since St. Patrick's Day is around the corner, they also had corned beef and cabbage on the steam table - Pretty Yum!
-
And to round our meal, we walked down to Make My Cake (http://www.makemycake.com/) for dessert. Michael selected a vanilla cupcake with strawberry frosting, and I had a slice of their coconut cake - which happened to have a layer of pineapple filling between the cake layers. Again... YUM!

Baby Doll: No. But I write a real nice hand.
And when they come to repossess her furniture, she runs after the truck holding a lamp in one hand. They stop the truck and come back and take the lamp.
And the old auntie who screams when the phone rings....

I've just received (and an listening to) The Golden Age Of the Andrews Sisters. Great 4 CD set and so inexpensive. I purchased it for "I didn't know the gun was loaded" which I've not hot heard since I was kid.
The sisters are at the moment attempting to interest me in seafood (Hold Tight). It's not going to happen.

And sometimes it is feel being a man!

DR Ron Pulliam - Is your Mom's recipe for fried okra of the "slice some okra up, coat it with cornmeal, and then fry it up in a cast iron skillet in some oil and/or butter until it's almost black" kind? or is it more like the "slice up some okra, dip in an eggwash and flour and cornmeal, then fry it up in some oil" kind?

Shortly after Bryan was born I received a phone call asking if my washing machine was running. Of course I asked "why, did it just run past your house?" Boy, was I a bit hit. So much so that the boy kept calling me. It finally took his hearing Bryan cry to convince him I was not a teenage girl. ;D

Had to share this email from a friend in Brisbane Oz (He's orginally from Montana):
I had a communication from an ex-coworker this morning that started off with "Are you alive?" Thinking it was going to be another commentary about my slack communication skills (no I don't send personal emails any better than I did snail mail) I opened the email in a defensive mood. I chuckled to myself as I read the comments about "I heard from someone that you had passed away 2 years ago and as I had an email from you as recently as 8 months I wanted to know if you were really alright."
So I replied with a brief update as to what I was doing and where I was working. Thinking to myself that I need to keep in touch better I was very surprised at the reply emails that have been coming back to me. Most have been very positive and filled with "relief that you are still with us". The real clincher was from the company facility's manager asking what he was supposed to do with the "Employees who have passed away" plaque. Yep, I have been officially marked as having died 2 years ago while working in Australia. Apparently, there was even a bit of a memorial gathering at the local pub in SF in my honour.
Of course this does open up some real tricky questions:
Does Mincom pay resurectees/zombies as much as normal employees?
As a "dead person" is it easier to get Australian citizenship?
For that matter, as a "dead person" can I stop paying taxes?
If I really did die and am still working at Mincom, did I go to heaven or ....?
It doesn't get much stranger.....

Definitely Borders in December, 2007.
Starbucks when not on every corner are quaint. Our mall has a drive-through Starbucks, which I must say is not quaint. . .though it is convenient.
Don't spread it around, but, I prefer Starbucks' coffees to Seattle's Best's, the latter which we serve at Borders.

Whew...long day of work. I had cut together a 5 minute piece to be shown at a theatre in NY for TLC's upfront. They gave me no creative guidance, so it was a bit nervewracking to try and guess what they wanted. All they gave me was a list of shows to include. So I put something together, the dept heads I was working for took it to their shoot on Friday in NY and showed it to the head of the network. They loved the music (yay!) and their only changes were to add 3 or 4 more shows not on the list. So I should be able to finish it up tomorrow and then start on The Closer on Wed.
My fear was that it was nothing like they wanted and I would have to abandon the project to another editor. There may be minor technical tweaks after tomorrow but I feel good getting it to basically a final place. Whew!

Barnes & Noble is paired up with Starbucks. However, some Border's used to have a Starbucks associated with them, but they did switch over to Seattle's Best.
Of course, what I want to know is what determines which B&N cafes serve the treats from The Cheesecake Factory and/or the standard Starbucks line of baked goods? ;)

Why doesn't someone revive this show instead letting Patti LuPone wreak havoc on GYPSY?

So I saw JCSS last night. Ted Neeley was in good voice as far as hitting the high notes he needed, although the rest of the time he sounded rather old. I had a great seat, 5th row center. It was row A, and the seats in front disappear if they need a larger pit. So there was a seam where the pit goes down in front of my row, with lots of clearance. It was kind of the like the bulkhead seat of the theatre, very roomy.
I didn't mind sitting so close because it was a pretty simple, small production. I didn't get to meet Ted and tell him I was a close personal friend of George's, but I did think of George as I looked at the many pairs of sandals that would have to be freshened. (GEORGE WHITE'S SANDALS?)
The new performance center is wonderful! I hope there is an occasion in the future when Greg will want to go there, too!

"American Idol" and Jennifer!
What I want to know is, Jennifer...which former houseguest got your vote to return to the house this week?
:D
I am confused. Did i miss a post? What do i have to do with American Idol?
Actually no former houseguest got my vote. I"m not really fond of any of the houseguests. So i did not vote. In past years i loved contestants like janelle or kaysar.
As for who i would like, there are a few i wouldn't mind. I think jen could be fun. I do not want to see jacob or alison.
Parker was sort of growing on me. ANd i sort of liked amanda.
I wonder who is getting the most votes. Most people vote to cause trouble. ANd the ones who would do that are jen or alison. Although if only internet geeks vote they would not vote for those who drive them crazy.
Who do you want back in?

Today was my sister's birthday. We had gone out for dinner yesterday. But we had a dinner at her house tonight. I made a pork roast. For some reason all the pork roasts i've ever made always had a bone.
And for some stupid reason i did not really think about the fact that a boneless pork roast would take less time.
Anyhow it turned out fine (but barely not overdone).
I also made mashed potatoes. And a copycat recipe for KFC's cole slaw, which was good.
Whenever i show up at my sister's house. My 2 year old niece always asks, "auntie what did you brought me?" :)
(she was quite happy with the mashed potatoes and cole slaw).

OOPS!!
I guess THIS (http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/tsa-cant-believe-macbook-air-is-a-real-laptop-causes-owner-to/) is one reason not to get the new MacBook Air.

Rough trade? ;)
You never know!
And how do YOU know about such things?
-
All of the contestants from AMERICAN IDOL live in a house together? It sounds like two reality shows rolled into one.
Yes, they do actually.
-
I began my evening watching THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM. Very exciting, a rather breathless if over-the-top adventure thriller. NO human body could take such punishment; I don't care how much training one has or how tough a person is (I'm referring to the beat-down between Bourne and the hitman in the bathroom). At some point you have to say "enough" but it keeps going on and on.
I enjoyed the cat and mouse stuff the most, but I still think the first one is the best and is definitely my favorite.

The new Juliana Margulies legal show was fine. Did she really have her client suborn perjury for the greater good? A surprise.
Great cast, though.
-
NEW AMSTERDAM took a step back tonight more toward the feel of the pilot episode rather than the excellent second episode from Thursday night. The mystery was OK; the pursuit of the doctor didn't/doesn't interest me at all. The old story set during the Civil War did hold my interest as it tied into the modern story.
-
I had read in the newspaper this morning that MEDIUM's episode was the first of a two part story, but it was a VERY frustrating first half with EVERY story left in limbo.
Argh!
-
I had no review discs come in the mail today, so I'm going to be free to watch more stuff for myself tomorrow. I'll think about what I want to watch overnight and decide tomorrow morning what the viewing slate will be.
Of course, I recorded both episode of OLD CHRISTINE, so I know I'll watch those while I cook and eat lunch tomorrow.
-
Well... I guess I do want that hour back since I'm already quite sleepy, and it's not even midnight yet. ?!? Although, I think my ten hour travel day yesterday may be coming into play here too, so... In any case...
Goodnight.
-
bk - I hope you found your rehearsal earlier tonight, and that it went well.
-
No writing to do so I'm heading down now to bed.
Good night!

:o Are you insinuating my accidents are due to a drinking problem? ;)
What would you think if I mentioned all of my injuries due to my klutziness ;D
And here I was blaming the dogs!!

Page Ten Judy Garland/Dolothy Gale Dance!!!

And now I'm REALLY going!

DR Michael S - Yesterday you said you wondered where the Echo Valley exchange was...as in Echo Valley 2-6809.
Well, since Rupert Holmes wrote the song, I asked him. He told me to tell you that he made it up and he can't remember how he came up with the numbers. He does know that there was an Echo Park somewhere in California, but that didn't have anything to do with inventing the phone number.
-
Memorable Partridge Family moments:
"Hello, operator? Get me Echo Valley 2-6809"
"You have reached a disconnected number"
-
Or to continue on a Rupert Holmes theme:
"Hello, operator? Get me Echo Valley 2-6809"
"I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine..."

Hi Fred!

I just spent 3 and 1/2 hours at my mom's house trying to figure out why her new scanner and her new printer did not work with her new computer.
After plugging and unplugging, loading software and unistalling software and loading it again, downloading drivers, etc, etc....well, it turned out mom had not flipped the "on button" on the back of the scanner.
Three and 1/2 hours of my life.
Then we moved onto the printer...I did a little of thisa and a little of thata, then I had a thought...
ME: mom, did you actually try to print anything?
MOM: No, because I thought it was not installed correctly.
I then opened up wordperfect, typed a sentence, hit print. I worked just fine.
I then said good night to my mom and am now home.

On the silver lining side my brother Jeff called while I was at mom's and I got to chat with him. He is currently in Washington D.C and on his way to Afghanistan to inspect some damns.
We had figured that since he was almost killed (one guy was killed) during the ambush of his convoy during his trip to Iraq two years ago that he would not volunteer to go over there for his work ever again...but, looks like we were wrong.
-
And the last thing I have to say before I hit the hay...I am sure tired of THE OFFICE repeats! I hope they start up with new shows soon as I am going into withdrawls.

Back from a rehearsal, about which more in a bit.
