One good thing about this new version of the board that I just discovered was when I was going to post a post but BK locked the day and I thought that I had lost the post, but when I clicked on the "back" button in my browser (I'm using Internet Explorer), the information was still there!
On the previous board, if you clicked "back," the information was completely gone (unless you had the foresight to save it, which I didn't). Now (so far), it might not be the problem it used to be! ;D

That's good - it's awful to lose posts.

Well, last night's reading with Ursula K. Le Guin was a complete success! Two years ago, when the "Timberland Reads Together" book was "The Secret Life of Bees," we held a reading with the narrator of the abridged version of the talking book in the Washington Center black box theater that holds about 140 people. We were able to squeeze in another 40 people but had to turn away around 15 or so (I ushered that evening).
-
Last year, we held the reading in the Washington Center main stage and we had over 300 people. Last night, we were again at the Washington Center main stage (which has a total of 988 seats) and we had over 700, count 'em 700 people! Ursula stayed afterwards and signed autographs for anyone who wanted one. She stayed for about 45 minutes. A good time was had by all!
-
Anyway, I got one of the posters that Timberland produced and gave out last night. The artwork was done by a woman named Sarah, who works in the library's communications department. She had the idea to create original artwork for the TRT events and she came up with a wonderful design:
-
Here's a picture of the actual poster that I got:
-
You can barely see it, but up at the top, Ursula wrote "For George." ;D
And the autograph on the bottom left is Sarah Kellington's, the illustrator of the poster. She signs "SKellington," which always reminds me of Jack Skellington from "The Nightmare Before Christmas." ;)
-
And finally, here's Ursula's autograph, close up:
-
Good night, all.

There's a fine musical version of Ursula LeGuin's THE MASTERS which I saw several years ago; it's called THE HIDDEN SKY, written by dear friends Kate Chisholm and Peter Foley. There's info here at this link (and I think a clip or two on this site) if anyone is interested, or if any of the Guests is a producer looking for a fascinating work:

Yes, DR JOSE they are sending a prepaid label for pick up for my television. My nephew took my new TV back, but because he didn't have my credit card, they could only credit a refund to me and not give him an exchange. So I went into the storage room and got out the 13" television set, so I will watch that for a couple of weeks - or for as long as I can stand it. It sure is SMALL!
-
DR TCB - thanks for the story....it was lovely...and it was very sad.
Sounds like DR GEORGE had a great time last night. DR CILLA LIZ was working....
I am one of the people in a Class Action suit. When I worked for the Indiana School for the Deaf we worked 40 hours a week although other people in our same classification worked 37.5 hours a week. It's a long story....but they need to know my beginning and ending salaries at ISD....which covered the years 1987-1992....and I hope I can get those numbers from State Personnel. We shall see.

Morning all.
My sister and her gentleman friend (he's too old to be called a boyfriend, they are both in their late 40s) are driving to Wisconsin this morning to see Anthony's show. They will arrive sometime this afternoon, visit with Anthony and see the evening performance. They have booked a room at the Holiday Inn Express and will stay the night, leaving tomorrow morning. Anthony is excited about their visit. My sister's boyfriend (or gentleman friend) has never, in his entire 48 years, been in a theatre to see a live theatrical performance. My sister has been trying to explain that a play, especially a musical from 1962, is different from a movie. You don't get jump cuts and different scenes and a scene might go on, with a song, for 8 or 10 minutes. I think he'll enjoy it but it will open up a whole new world for him. Dinner theatre in Wisconsin!

Not feeling well today... I think I have a touch of what bk is suffering with. In any event, I can't sing, so unforunately had to pull out of the benefit cabaret tonight, where I was to have performed Sondheim's "Move On" with someone. I feel bad about letting them down.
I am sleeping a lot. I may rouse myself long enough to view the live HD broadcast of Strauss's Salome from the Met this afternoon, for which I've had tickets for ages.

Good morning, all! I'm listening to the London cast of the 1980's musical WINDY CITY, of which I'm very fond, and now I've a hankering to reread THE FRONT PAGE. Instead, today I've got a lot of work on Volume 2 of BABES IN TOYLAND and the final proof of the Moross score for HUCKLEBERRY FINN to check. I also need to plan my walk this morning and whatever errands I need to accomplish by its end.
Last night I reread Sacheverell Sitwell's La Vie Parisienne: A Tribute to Offenbach while I killed the hour between MEDIUM and LIFE, so tonight I've got to catch up on some DVDs.
DR Jose, are you taking the Bolt Bus or another modus travelandi?
-
Good morning!
Cool again but with lots of sunshine. And there's no rain in our forecast for the next five days. I'm sure the NASCAR people are joyous about this since this week's race is in Charlotte.

I'll likely watch SUPERNATURAL while I cook and eat lunch today. Then I'll settle in with CSI for the remainder of the day. There are a good many bonus featurettes in this set, and there are two on the disc that's currently in the player.

On HBO-HD tonight is the paycable premiere of ANTONEMENT. I'd like to record it, but since I still have THE BRAVE ONE on there, and my DVR space is running out, I'll have to get a later broadcast of ANTONEMENT.

When I got my first Atari computer, I really did think that it would only be used for writing and work related projects. However, the Atari had a game cartridge slot that made games SO tempting, so before long I had Space Invaders, Dig-Dug, Ms. Pac-Man, and Donkey Kong, all of which I played incessantly. I also played a lot of those Infocom text-related mysteries like DEADLINE and BALLYHOO.
Now, with very limited amounts of time, I may play Spider Solitaire or Mah Jongg that came with my Vista software on this "new" computer while I'm in between weightlifting sets, but otherwise, I have no time to play computer games.
-
Wae-Ling Goldstein is also sick. So I'm here with no one to play with today.

I have two prescriptions I need to pick up this morning, so I guess I'll walk down to 68th Street and then walk back, stopping at the market. My walk is planned and now all I need to do is begin it.

Saturday morning greetings! I have an unusual phenomenom - a 2-day weekend.

Good morning, good day, how are you this beautiful day? I am up, congested, groggy, stuffed up, but alive, but alive, but alive. As to the voice, to early to tell, but there's sound coming out - not much, but something. Hopefully after the long jog and some EmergenC in hot water things will loosen up, throat-wise. I may have them get me a mic if it doesn't improve by noon.

bk - Since it appears that you're sick - a.k.a. have a cold - eating some food would also be a good thing. Your body needs nutrients right now, and it also needs "stuff" to help all those meds get into your system and not hit your empty stomach all at the same time.

*And, yes, the "creeping crud" is going around right now. There were a lot of understudies and swings on this past week. I think the almost-sudden onset of Fall last weekend may have had something to do with that. I'm just glad that my cold only lasted about three days. I'm still a little sniffly right now, but I can tell that's just due to my usual Fall allergies - molds get to me more than pollen does.
-
Oh...
bk - Don't shake anyone's hands today either. ;)

The only thing I'll shake today is my bootay.

I had lots of food in me when I did the cocktail last night. Today, I don't put any meds in me before the show. Just the EmergenC in hot water, and directly after with a meal I'll do an Allavert. No more Coldeze, either, just Ricola.

I think I've learned to never announce on a Friday - while orders are coming in steadily, it's not like it would have been if it were a Monday or Tuesday. In fact, I think we'd be sold out had I announced on a Monday or Tuesday. The reason I didn't is because another label is announcing two titles on Monday - and it just gets to be too much for people - every single week there's two or three of these limited edition CDs coming out, and, as you know, the economy is not so hot, which is one of the reasons I lowered the price on the CD. Still, in less than twenty-four hours we have less than 300 left, so that's not bad. And I suspect that a lot of people are simply buying through the online stores - they're more comfortable doing that, even though if they really wanted to be supportive to the label doing these things, they'd order directly from us. But sometimes they're buying other titles and they save on the shipping, so whatever works is fine by me.
-
The skies are blue and the sun is shining, but it's windy (don't like jogging when it's windy unless the wind is at my back) and not sure how much heat is in the sun, since it's quite chilly in the home environment.

If I can get some energy, I'll try to start the long jog by nine-thirty, if not, ten.

Wow, what a change in the weather! It has been hot for so long. Today it is clear, windy, and very cool! The windows are all open; the first time since April.

I never was a fan of Pac Man, but Frogger - I used to play Frogger at the Playboy Mansion. Get your minds out of the gutter. Hef had a game room (this was in 1982) that had all the latest stuff, and I would just monopolize the Frogger game.

So... Are you saying you would have been sold out by Tuesday if you had announced on a Monday? Or are you saying that you would have been sold out by now - by Saturday morning - had you announced on this past Monday? 24 hours is 24 hours, and, right now, it looks like you've had a very good 24 hours.

I was a "Frogger" fan too. I also liked "Dig Dug" too. I did play "Space Invaders", but I preferred the spinoff, "Galaga".
As for "Donkey Kong", I could never get past the first stage. And still can't (on Nintendo, PSP, etc.).

Good Afternoon!
Well, I'm packed. Almost. While I was packing, I realized I didn't have enough clean socks for the week, so I went ahead and started a load of whites, and those should be try - and ready to pack - in about 45 minutes. I've already cleaned the kitchen, and done some tidying up in my room. I still have to organize my desk, but that shouldn't take too long thanks to the wonder of shoe-boxes and an empty file drawer. ;)

I have a very busy day. I've already gotten three reviews written and uploaded, and I am now madly copying my CD sampler of Theater Music I've written through the years to (hopefully) save this evening at my Rave in the Nave Concert featuring my latin quartet Samba Soleil. Since Susannah Mars brought the house down last month at Rave in the Nave, and my Theater Music sampler features several extremely rare recordings of her performing my music, I have my fingers crossed. :)

In fact, if memory serves, I believe I recorded some of this Theater Music especially for BK years and years ago.

Listening to this CD after so many years, it reminded me of a big laugh we had when BK was up here, which he probably doesn't remember. One of the tunes sung by Susannah on this CD has the line "As if on a dare, you forged what you became," and as I was playing it for BK and the Bacharach cast, it occurred to me it could be heard as "As if on Adair, you forged what you became." Adair and I thought it was incredibly funny. BK and that other Bruce stared in confusion and bewilderment. ;)
-
Jose, I'm saying had I announced on Monday it would have been sold out in twenty-four hours. But, make no mistake - I'm very happy with my orders so far, even if the bulk of them are dealers - I'm now down to about 250 copies, which is fab.

Having my EmergenC in hot water - so much better, especially sucking on a Ricola whilst drinking it. I really didn't know if I was going to have any voice, but I'm thinking I might be able to squeak (and I do mean squeak) through.

The long jog was easy today, save for the wind and it was a teeny bit chilly out when I started (got better as I went along) - also, I was really brisk today, probably the fastest I've done it.

Good afternoon!
Hope you feel better today, bk!
I used to work in a health food store that sold Emergen-C and it never occurred to me that it was pronounced "Emergency" until just a few years ago. In my head it was always pronounced: é-mer-gen see---two words---if that makes any sense, with no emphasis on the "mer".

I had a funny experience last night. I was loading in footage from an Eddie Condon tribute which featured Johnny Mercer and Billy Butterfield, the jazz trumpeter.
I had a teacher in the 6th grade named Butterfield and my mom always used to joke that he must be related to Billy. I decided to look up Billy's obit, and sure enough, he had a son that lived in the small town where I lived when I went to 6th grade. I did a white pages search, found a phone number, and, hoping that the person I was calling wouldn't think I was crazy, dialed it. I figured that this is footage most people wouldn't be likely to have, and if it was MY dad, I sure would want it.
A lady answered the phone, and at first she had that "telemarketer" voice, but after she realized that I didn't want to sell her anything, she was very nice. She said that her husband was visiting his brother but would want to talk to me and gave me the brother's number. I called, and my teacher answered (he has a very distinctive voice that I recognized immediately) and I explained who I was and why I was calling. He was very excited about the prospect of seeing the footage, so if the person who gave it to me says it's OK, I will send them each a copy.
What a coinky-dink!

...And as my bus wends its way up from Chinatown to Grand Central...
It's a nice bus. Clean, save for a few crumbs on the floor under a seat or two. The driver seems friendly, and it's not at all crowded. Yet. They have to do one more in town pick up at Grand Central. My friend, Mike, advised me to hop on in Chinatown just in case it happened to be a "full bus" day. We shall see...
*And now that the A/C has started up, that "not so fresh bus smell" has dissipated.

Oh... We just drove around the block, but we'll be on our way again in just another minute or two at the scheduled departure time of 4:00. I hope.

And we're off...

DR edisaurus - That's a great story! And I'm glad you thought that "it" was funny. ;)

DR JMK - Me confused. How will your CD sampler "save" tonight's event?

And because the bus left from Chinatown, I was able to pick up a quick, cheap lunch at one of the many bakeries down there. A roast pork bun, an egg custard "rocky" bun, and an iced green tea for a whopping $2.80. :)

There are not any A/C outlets on this bus, so I'm going to curb my iPhone use for the trip. I did bring my regular iPod with me, and I'm sure I'll be putting that to good use since everyone around me seems to be on their phones.

OK. It's iPod time.
Laters...

Well...
I've read Pete Sampras's book...
(http://www.pabaon.com/sports/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/pete.jpg)
And I've read James Blake's book...
(http://www2.tennisserver.com/images/meaney/070607/JamesBlake02.jpg)
And now I'm reading about Stephen Schwartz.

Hi all. I've spent most of the day with this new computer and printer, learning what they can and can not do so I can plan what software I'm going to have to replace.
I'm pleased for the most part.
-
One thing I like (and I'm not sure if it's this new board or my computer) is that when I make a typo, it underlines it in red and give me a spell checker. How cool is that?
-
A cloud cover has moved in which is a great surprise. A nice breeze, too, so I'm wondering if we are going to get any rain. It's not in the forecast, not that that matters.
-
I watched both of the bonus features on the CSI disc I had finished. One had to do with the episodes that concentrated on the background lab techs on the show (a comedy episode; one of my least favorites though they're all raving about what a great episode it was.)
The other was a dull 9-minute genuflection to director William Friedkin who came in to helm one of the episodes. His episode wasn't nearly as memorable as the episode Quentin Tarentino directed three years ago.
-
Then I watched Thursday night's SUPERNATURAL while I cooked and ate lunch. It was a fairly grisly episode this week, not the best one to be trying to eat lunch while watching. I managed to get through both OK (lunch and the show). The show was actually very effective. The lunch was tasty.
-
I think watched more CSI, a cutsy episode where everyone had colds while trying to investigate the crime. I really didn't understand why that decision was made other than to let three of the actors play people working with walking pneumonia.
-
I still have some episodes left to watch and four featurettes on the last disc. Hopefully, I can get finished with them tonight. If not, I'll finish them up tomorrow morning before getting on-line.
-
OK, heading down now to see if I can't finish up with the eighth season of adventures with Grissom and the gang.
WBBL.
-
Wow, what a change in the weather! It has been hot for so long. Today it is clear, windy, and very cool! The windows are all open; the first time since April.
Isn't that great. the breeze is blowing through my house, and it's wonderful.
-
I'm in the process of trying to figure out what is on all these videos I have. I taped pilot episodes of shows no longer on, ice-skating specials, things like the 1993 Oscars and all sorts of stuff since 1978 or so. It all seemed so terribly important at the time. My mother would do the same thing. She taped the entire Gulf War, I think. If she'd had a VCR in the early 70's she would have taped the entire Watergate hearings. A few years ago, they came out with 4 or 6 tape boxed set on Watergate which we gave her.
I would make cassettes for her, and she'd tape over them (debates, etc.)
-
DR JMK - Me confused. How will your CD sampler "save" tonight's event?
I don't think I said anything about it saving anything, did I?
-
DR JMK -
I have a very busy day. I've already gotten three reviews written and uploaded, and I am now madly copying my CD sampler of Theater Music I've written through the years to (hopefully) save this evening at my Rave in the Nave Concert featuring my latin quartet Samba Soleil. Since Susannah Mars brought the house down last month at Rave in the Nave, and my Theater Music sampler features several extremely rare recordings of her performing my music, I have my fingers crossed. :)
Well, I guess you used "save" and not "saving". ;)
-
Good Evening!
"We" are taking a 10-minute pee/smoke/walk around/travel break at the last rest area on the NJ Turnpike. Consequently and subsequently, the bus now smells like some not-so-fresh Roy Rogers' fried chicken and french fries.
-
DR singdaw - Do you play tennis? Or do you just like balls?
-
And we're off again... And making good time too.
Laters...
-
Oh! Here's how I should have responded...
DR singdaw - Do you play tennis? Or just tennis players?
Or do you just like balls?
-Much, much better. ;D

Whoopsy-doodle. I meant "sell," not "save." We're pretty close to being sold out, ticket wise, so no need to "save". My bad.

OK, here's a Jose/SWW question:
At Madeleine, my favorite macaron was "fleur de sel caramel". Today I went to Starbucks and on the menu was a "salted caramel hot chocolate". So where did this salted caramel trend come from?
I had the Starbucks---yummy!
-
I never was a fan of Pac Man, but Frogger - I used to play Frogger at the Playboy Mansion. Get your minds out of the gutter. Hef had a game room (this was in 1982) that had all the latest stuff, and I would just monopolize the Frogger game.
Are you sure that's not Ping or Pang?
That's Pong alright. I remember when we got the first version. If you wanted to play another game you put a static picture on your tv and it was supposed to be a different game. of course it was the same thing, only harder to see
We had Atari. I got tired of my brother gloating when he beat me, so I stayed up all night one night practicing space invaders. I got so good at it no one would play with me, lol
I still have a nintendo around here somewhere. We were really into The Legend of Zelda. My sister-in-law did maps and that helped.
I liked Mario brothers and Frogger. I used to play trivia and poker at the bar.
-
Trying to decide if I want to do something tonight. I could go to Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf. A local group is putting it on. They've been in 3 different locations over the past 5 years and are now in a former retail building downtown. I think one of the founders of the group bought it because they are saying this move is permanent. I could also go to the Symphony or see a movie. hmmm. Or I could go through my clothes and decide which ones I am going to donate to Good Will. What to do....
-
This morning I went to the office, proofed my brief, made the 15 copies, bound them with a combinder (I think they are so cool) and sent them off to the court of appeals. I am so glad to get that done. It doesn't have to be mailed until Tuesday, but now we can get the week started without that deadline hanging over our heads. We are going to be open on Monday. The Feds have a holiday, but the State doesn't.
-
So no mail on Monday...
-
I liked Tetris and a game called Galaga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaga). It was a space invaders type game and when I was on the road w/Sesame Street Live I would go to the mall and play the game in arcades. I became very, very good. Of course, I never played against anyone, but still, I left my initials on many a game console around the country in 1982.
Here is another site (http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7881) with a picture of the arcade game and the logo

This afternoon I walked for about a mile and a quarter. It included some very steep hills, so I figure that should count extra!
I really wanted to walk. Maybe this noon time powerwalking is making a difference

That looks a lot like the space invaders game I played on Atari. It wasn't the real space invaders, I don't remember the name of it

In New York on Monday the Feds have a holiday and many state offices are closed as well including many banks. Capital One is open and Commerce is open. Columbus Day is not the big holiday it used to be. We used to get it off at the office but that stopped about 10 years ago.
-
I can play Tetris on my rarely used cell phone. There are 3 games if I recall correctly, Tetris, Sudoku and something else.
-
I may watch a new Mitzi Gaynor special on PBS. Apparently it's an edited version of a DVD set about to come out comprised of segments from various appearances on variety shows over the years. Channel 21 is doing a one-day fundraising splurge and using Ms. Gaynor as a draw.
-
The State of Iowa has the day after Thanksgiving as a holiday. Now that's practical if you ask me. The feds don't but no one seems to work, they all take vacation time
-
I will be going to the theatre tomorrow. I'm seeing Skip's show, Herringbone, with Larry and Skip. We are leaving tomorrow morning at 11 so I will be gone most of the day. I guess I'm trying to make up for that by posting now (not that I post much on the weekends anyway, even though I've been a bachelor for the past 10 weeks).
-
Mr. Goldstein sent Mae-Ling over to play while Wae-Ling was home sick. We had brunch and then went to the river. Here she is eating pancakes:

Channel 21 will soon be off the air, methinks. ;D
-
I must toddle off now to play various tunes in asymmetrical time signatures.
-
I challenge Ben to a game of Galaga! They have this ay my laundromat so I have also left my initials on it many times!
Tetris is my 2nd favorite but I'm not very good at it. And I also love Frogger and used to play Space Invaders every day at lunch when I was a construction worker.
-
Wasn't there a song from the old campfire days:
What's your name, little boy?
My name is Phlegmy
Phlegmy what, little boy?
Phlegmy Kissya!
What's your name little girl?
My name is Ida.
Ida what little girl?
Ida wanna!!
What's your name little boy?
My name is Phlegmy
Phlegmy what little boy?
Phlegmy Kissya!
What's your name little girl?
My name is Ima.
Ima what little girl?
Ima Scared!
What's your name little girl?
My name's Alaska.
Alakska what little girl?
Alask Mymommy!
What's your name little boy?
My name is Phlegmy
Phlegmy what little boy?
Phlegmy Kissya!
What's your name little girl?
My name is Lena.

Lena Closer!
I liked the mucis for that song. It was quite infectious.

Good Evening!
Greetings from Washington, DC. Almost there.
-
Back from a terrific LACCTAA event and some dinner at a nearby Eyetalian eatery. My voice actually got better as we went along - didn't cough at all and was able to be heard. The panelists were GREAT - all had great stories to tell, answered my questions with such honesty and humor, and the audience of about fifty-five ate it all up then asked very smart questions of their own. Everyone on the panel was different - some had become writers, some producers, some still acted, a real potpourri, but all in the show business. From the actor point of view Harrison Page was so passionate and positive, which is probably why he's had a successful career for forty years. In introducing him, I said my favorite film of his is Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls. Annette Cardona (Cha Cha in the film of Grease) was wonderful in discussing a recent detour she knew she had to take (she completed her masters degree and is now teaching and loves it), but how she still keeps her hand in. I told a few of my stories, Clent Bowers talked about his B'way shows, Phil Kellard was very funny in talking about his writing/producing career, and also offering tips to the young actors in attendance on what he looks for when actors come in to read. Bill Ewing spoke so clearly and beautifully about his transition from acting to being a key executive at Columbia Pictures, and Gary Stockdale talked about his going from actor to Emmy-nominated composer. It was just a great afternoon.
-
I had spaghetti and meatballs at this very traditional Eyetalian eatery called Palermo's in Loz Feliz. It was hearty and very tasty, the meatballs were light, and I didn't finish all the pasta because I was so full. It was just the kind of meal I needed.
-
How can we still be on page six? Mother of mercy, is this the end of Rico?
-
I had a package arrive at the mail place but I didn't get back in time to retrieve it - so I'll pick it up in the morning.
-
I spent a full day with a six-year-old and posted three photos. I don't think I can do much more.
-
Oh, yes you can.
-
I mean, you'd think it was a Saturday night or something.
-
Richard and I were watching the Michigan/Toledo game and the Big Ten Network kept promoting a special about the glories of Michigan football that was to air right after the game. I knew my mother would want to see that and she doesn't have the BTN, so Richard went out to get her at halftime. The game was awful, but the special and the one after that about former coach Carr were great. She and I went out on a little shopping excursion and came back here for a chicken salad supper with Richard. We've just returned from taking her home.
-
Oh... This bus does have WiFi... :)
-
great story DR EDISAURUS....
Congrats to MR BK on another success at LACC.
I wonder if DR CILLA LIZ went to spend the evening with George and Martha. Sad Sad Sad.
-
A 13" television set is NOT a television it is a televi
-
I'm still on the bus, but it looks like we'll be getting to Richmond a little after 10:00. :)
* Now I just hope my Dad can find the bus station/drop-off.
-
DR FJL.....I liked those SP pictures.....everyone seems to be having a good time, but Ms Gaynor seems awfully TAN....or something.....
-
To say nothing of looking surprised!
-
Hmmm... I guess we're stopping for gas.. ???
...Or for the bus driver to drain the latrine... Ah..
-
bk - Glad to hear that today's event went so well, and that your voice held out too!
*And Palermo's is a good jernt.
-

I'm watching some of the War Games extras - had no idea that Martin Brest had been the original director and had, in fact, begun shooting the film.
-
At long last page seven.
-
Well, I guess more like 10:20-ish. Still, not bad time.
-

No, I'm with Leopold and Loeb. Decided to stay home and read my book. I just wasn't in the mood for George and Martha tonight.
-
I am now at that awful stage where I can't stop coughing and every time I do it cuts the phlegm and boy does it HURT.
-
I'm thinking about taking a hot bath and putting on my pajamas, then curling up under a blanket with my book.
-
We're supposed to have rain and thunderstorms late tonight and tomorrow.
-
We're supposed to have rain and thunderstorms late tonight and tomorrow.
Hmm, better take my umbrella on Monday, I guess...
-
I'm home. :)
And I'm currently listening to my parents and aunt and uncle telling cute and embarrassing stories about me from my childhood. :D
-
Like the story where your face froze on a double-scoop vanilla ice cream and someone took a picture?
-
I know someone said it before, but I really do start thinking you're eating a new ice cream cone every time you post. :) :)
-
Glad you made it home Jose, continuing vibes to your mom and your family~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
I know someone said it before, but I really do start thinking you're eating a new ice cream cone every time you post. :) :)
I sometimes think "Hasn't he finished that ice cream cone yet!?"
-
You've heard of Genghis Cohen, this is Endless Cone
-
Like the story where your face froze on a double-scoop vanilla ice cream and someone took a picture?
Actually, I took that picture. It's a self portrait with two scoops of ice cream and a cone.
*Although, if I can find it and scan it, there's a great picture of me eating, well "wearing", a blueberry pie. :)
-
DR Cillaliz - I was talking about the other Pong/Ping/Pang. ;)
-
DR JMK - Gotcha, and thanks for the clarification. :)
-
DR Cillaliz - I was talking about the other Pong/Ping/Pang. ;)
Never mind :)
-
So, now my uncle has started telling stories from his medical practice. He's a gastroenterologist, so he deals with issues "down there". He just finished telling us about a patient who swore that the treatment that my uncle prescribed for him was not working at all. The punchline to the story...
...Did you take the foil off the suppository first?
;D
-
DR Cillaliz - I was talking about the other Pong/Ping/Pang. ;)
Never mind :)
Vincero!
Vincero
Vin-ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-ro!

Hmm... I guess I could try that one day.
:D
-
I missed the opening of SNL. I turned it on when William Shattner was going on about Priceline. Did I miss an election skit?
-
I'm trying to watch Sleeping Beauty, but I must say I find the film insufferably boring.
-
Yeah, that's the real reason she fell asleep
-
So, tomorrow, after Mass, it looks like we may be heading down to Williamsburg for the day, or I may just end up showing my parents (and my aunt and uncle and their son) around Richmond. My parents have lived here for almost a year at this point, but they still haven't really explored the city. It would also be a good chance to show my Dad some of the shortcuts to the hospital where my Mom is having her surgery, as well as places around there to eat and shop.
*Although, I think my Mom actually wants to make a run to the outlet mall just outside of Williamsburg before she checks in to the hospital on Monday. ;)
-

You may have found out by now, but it's a repeat of the season opener with Michael Phelps, so... You only need to watch the opening, and the final two skits. ;)

Finally on-line after spending such a long evening with the rest of the CSI box. The episodes included that awful (I thought) trade-off with the writers of TWO AND A HALF MEN who wrote a smug, jokey CSI episode about a sitcom actress and her stand-in who were both killed.
-
Today was Homecoming!
The main drag was closed down this morning so the kids from kindergaten through high school senior cold march to the high school
The Vixter and the rest of the womens choir sang the National Anthem before the football game
The weather was very cooperative, sunny and 70's

the rubber chicken one?
-
I didn't know that was a different writing team, but it explains a lot!
-
I finished all the episodes around 9:30, and figured the bonus features would take about 20 minutes.
WRONG!!!
They took an hour to watch. One was way too long about the science of entomology and was basically a plea for more students to enroll in this field of science.
There was a nice tribute to Jorja Fox who left the show in midseason.

Yes. The CSI writers wrote an episode of the sitcom (I watched it; I found it funny).
-
Then, it took me abouot 75 minutes to write up this review. Usually I can crank them out in 45 minutes or so, but I guess I had a lot to say about this past season which I found disappointing in so many ways.
-
I guess tomorrow, I'll begin the first season of NASH BRIDGES. Fortunately, there were only 8 episodes that first season, so I should be able to get all or most of those watched tomorrow. There are some commentaries and other bonuses in the set, however, so the review likely won't go up until Monday night.

Did the new season start yet? I didn't see anything about it starting but here it is October already, I assume I missed the season opener
-
Tonight we watched Anna and the King, with Jodi Foster as Anna. I had never seen it before. Against my expectations, I enjoyed it
-
Hope they are having a marvelous time.
They say they are. They are planning a meeting with Francois (whom I miss!) I wish he'd come back!
-
well boys and girls, I'm a getting weary....night night!
-
Jose, I will be sure to remember your Mom in church tomorrow
-
...And I really am glad that I made it down here tonight. It will be nice to spend the day tomorrow with my parents and relatives, and it also turns out that my Mom will be having a double bypass in addition to the mitral-valve replacement. -My Dad filled me in on everything else on the ride from the bus station. However, everyone is in good spirits, and my brother, Mike, and his family will be coming down tomorrow afternoon for dinner, so it will be a good "Family Weekend".
*And over the past hour or so, my Mom has received at least a dozen calls from our relatives in Seattle and San Diego and the Philippines.
-
And, once again, thanks for all the Vibes and Prayers. They've been helping me as well as my Mom. :)

Yes, the season opener dealing the Warrick's shooting aired this past Thursday. It was the highest rated episode of any show this past week.
-
Now, I'm heading down to bed. It's VERY late.
Good night!

I gotta tell you.

Topic of the Day: my parents had a pong game, but I don't think it was an Atari brand. The first computer that I ever had was a Texas Instruments 99/4A and the first game that I got for it was Parsec. I don't remember much about it, but I remember that I liked it. :)
-
As for arcade games, Andrew, my best friend in high school, and I would play Jungle Hunt. Unlike most games, your character travels from right to left across the screen instead of left to right. Basically, you just jump over obstacles and swing on vines to get to the end. I don't remember what happens at the end...it's been more than 20 years since I've played it.
-
Oh! -Back to the Topic of the Day for a post or two...
Q*Bert!
-And whatever that space-ship, fighter game was called... the one that mainly composed of white lines (vector graphics?) on a dark-gray/black background. ??? Hmm....
-
Can't someone post an image from Frogger?

Oh... Not really. It's the whole Filipino thing where if the mothers become good friends, then the families become "related". There's no blood involved so to speak. However, my "uncle" is my godfather, and was also my doctor when I was in high school.

Okay, I see.

Well, I have returned from the dinner, 40 years in the making, known as our high school reunion. Several people told me that they had a lot more fun at my party last night. I know I did.

PLAY MITZI FOR ME
Photos of Mitzi Gaynor backstage at the revival of South Pacific. (Did I miss these being linked here?)

Good grief, how much did PBS have to pay Broadway World to publish 48 photos of Mitzi Gaynor?
BroadwayWorld.com has a habit of publishing "too many" pictures in their "Photo Op" features. It's almost like they just upload all the pictures from the memory card in order to get them up ASAP.

BK, I am glad your event went well today and that your voice held out.

I think that if Mitzi had been given photo approval, several of those shots would have disappeared.

I think whatever the illness is that has been affecting Dear Readers this week; it must be a computer virus, because now I am beginning to feel sick.

G'night!

Hopefully, it was the food from tonight's dinner.

But I still can't remember the name of the other game I mentioned earlier... ???

Thanks, DR Vixmom! :)

I gotta tell you.

I guess I should write some notes. I reek of garlic from a piece of garlic toast I had with my spaghetti and meatballs. And I'm feeling bloated from all the liquid. I better not have gained anything, and in fact I would like to have lost another couple of pounds. Tomorrow is weigh day but I may just wait until Monday. I don't like that there's no mail on Monday.

At long last page ten.

Just weigh yourself after your morning ablutions as it were. ;)

Oh... And the other "Space Invaders" spin-off - which was the precursor to "Galaga" - "Galaxian".
-And how could I have forgotten "Centipede" and "Millipede" too!
-
OK... Well, I think I'll watch the opening of "A Member of the Wedding" on TCM - it's "Housekeeper's Night" - then turn in. I got a long day ahead of me tomorrow - and today was already quite a day.
Goodnight.

Oh...before it's too late:
HAPPY NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY!!
