I'm realizing - and remembering - just how dry the air is in my parents' house. -At least in comparison to what I'm used to in my apartment in NYC. The past couple of mornings I've woken up with a not-so-nice feeling throat, as well as some "interesting" sinuses; then coupled with my allergies/cold/whatever, well... -I felt a lot better when I was out last night - and there was a lot of smoking at the bar too, so...

DR FJL - The "Project Runway" Season Finale was on at 9:00pm, 11:00pm and midnight last night. I managed to stay awake during the 11:00pm broadcast. I think.
Of course, I sort of got "spoiled" from some friends' Facebook status updates, but I was in such a fog last night, I didn't realize they were mentioning the winner. I thought they were all talking about one of the candidates wives or daughters. ;)

Good morning, all! I stayed with CNN through midnight after the convention and so I missed the PWOJECT WUNWAY finale. since Bravo reruns these things into the ground.
Today, I have to deal with the problem of no wire transfer yet from Calfornia. If the money hasn't landed by 10:30, I'll send an email, but I worry that they'll not pay is till next week, which they've pulled before. Another major reason why I would like to see that closing of sale in Ohio.
I'm also thinking of asking my two brothers to buy out my third of the property before I offer it to another agent. I'm sure my dad's reasons for this last-minute transfer were to asceertain we'd all get an equal third and it would be his beyond-the-grave manipulation to keep us all "together" since he was aware of all the bad blood going on before he died. I also believe he knew that I would prevent the Macbeths from beating up on Randy, which occurs regularly. However, since I have no wish to ever associate with the Macbeths again, there's no identity for me with that side of my family, and I really don't want to hang onto a piece of land 500 miles from my living space, paying taxes and insurance on it till it (hopefully) sells. If I get out of it ASAP with $200,000+ I'd be more than happy, and if my brothers sell it in two or three years for $1,000,000, more power to them. Right now the lands assessed at about $275,000/acre and we have about 3.5 acres, and no one's been calling with inquiries for over six months now. With the market as it is, it could be years before it sells.

Hello from Austin, TX.
Horror movies?
I think that the fantasy movies that I recall from my youth are more sci-fi than horror.
THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS, THEM!, THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON come to mind, as does HOUSE OF WAX.
Later favorites include THE CHANGELING, STIR OF ECHOES, THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE, THE EXORCIST and THE SIXTH SENSE.
Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my film, THE DOORWAY.

On tv tonight: Survivor! (yeah!).
RE: libraries. I use mine A LOT. I go once or twice a week. That is how i've been reading everything lately. It's pretty convenient (only 5 minute drive). Right now we can check the online catalogue at home. But we cannot reserve that way. That is okay. Although most libaries here have the same services you guys described (being able to do most from home).
My library was supposed to do that this past september. Only the whole system failed and there was a huge mess. So we are back to the old way for a while. With the new way we will be able to renew books online. And have books put on hold. And even them email us when our books are due.

DR Jose is the ICU really that strict about visiting hours?
I guess each hospital is different.
When i had a relative in the ICU a couple years ago even though there were strict times listed they would allow 1-2 people basically at all hours. As long as you were good.
-
I'm curious re: the pudding cups.
Do they have the same calories/fat grams as if you made the pudding yourself (which i assumed was what the original poster was talking about). Somehow i just assume that if you make the pudding yourself that it would be more diet friendly (although then you'd probably eat more since it would not be portioned).
When i want a delicious diet-friendly snack i make lite-jello, and put a spoon of frozen whipped topping on it. And sometimes a few strawberries.

There is of course a Portland connection to Project Runway, which we weren't aware of until we tuned in for the first time this season last week. I had a gig last night and so missed the finale, but it made the Oregonian today, if that's any indication of the outcome. ;)

I hadn't had a chance to watch PROJECT RUNWAY yet, but USA TODAY revealed the name of the winner. Still I'd like the see the winning fashions so I'll likely watch it at some point today.

Today I'll be beginning the Criterion Eclipse box set of Kenji Mizoguchi "Fallen Women" movies. Nice thing about these is that you get the movie but are not inundated with extras. The movies in the box are all of short duration as well, so I'll likely watch one today but two tomorrow and finish it on Saturday. (Four films in all.)

PROJECT RUNWAY
SPOILAGE
Jibberjabber, teeter-totter, stingclaw fodder, pitter-patter, garlic dill pickles and root beer would really hit the spot -- don't ask me what spot, though. Moo moo, oink oink hee-haw marjorie daw, singdaw's sister I guess. After seeing the runway show in action last night, I have to say I'd have been fine with any of the designers being declared the winner. I never thought I would ever be one to defend Kenley, but I have to say I think the judging panel was a bit too narrowly focused on Kenley's hand-painted fabric and not on her designs. So what if other designers had a line of all hand-painted fabrics a season or three back? Do they own a copyright on handpainted fabric? No...it's been with us for centuries. So if Kenley's fabric was the issue, why wasn't ALL fabric an issue since ALL designers use fabric. No...it's DESIGN here that matters and not whether it's handpainted or uses feathers (Chris March used feathers last season, too). In truth, I rather liked Kenley's collection better than the others. SUE ME! I also liked Laura Bennett's collection better than Michael's or Jeffrey's two seasons ago....but I couldn't stand Laura, so I was happy Jeffrey won! I liked Korto's collection, but I wasn't wild about her fabrics. And NO ONE mentioned the obscene shortness of that ultra-mini skirt? REALLY? Oh, my! Leanne was a good choice and she had some wonderful elements, but Michael Kors was right about those petals (I think Leanne thought of them as "waves") being a bit too much. Still, she showed great versatility and variety in her line and she was a deserving winner, just as either of the other two would have been. IMO, of course. Don't snark me, I'm skittish! What was that? You fiend! Slapjaw, snapdraw, scrapclaw! I'll blame Jose.

Bruce, I'm glad you are feeling better. Laura is not (probably the same thing you have--- that sinus infection/cold/allergy thing -- it's all around the country.
TOD: I loved "Poltergeist" and "Dead of Night." There was also a made for TV movie called, "The Paper Man" which frightened me to no end. Most films that scare me are more suspense rather than horror. "wait Until Dark" probably fits into that category and practically gave me a heart attack. One viewing was enough.
Health and happy vibes to all-- the world needs them!

I would suppose that my favorite horror movie, the one I've returned to time and again, is Rosemary's Baby. I also love Psycho, Black Sunday, Eyes Without A Face, The Omen - I'm sure I'll think of others.

No, because even if they had processed it on Tuesday, the transfer would have happened by now. I hate being in cash flow hell because of property closing, inconsiderate employers and, much as I appreciate the kindness of the people I'm waiting to repay, I just want to know I can afford to make a living from the work I'm hired to do. The fact that I'm now out of my diabetes meds, cannot even afford to refill a prescription or pay the rent because I'm waiting on funds is infuriating beyond belief.

But, DR Laura....Willy Wonka had rules. Children who disobey rules cannot be missed.
Surely it's as potent as a Grimm tale in original context..."Be good or else."
As for the uninterrupted tour through the factory, that was the point, too. There was no other reason to be there THAN to tour the factory. Why should anyone who has been good and followed rules be denied the tour that they won?

I guess I just realized what I'll be doing for at least part of this weekend - addressing a whole mess of packages for Laurette - addressing and affixing postage so that when CDs arrive next week all I have to do is insert the CD, seal the box and take to the postal office.

Good Afternoon!
So far, so good.
I had a great time meeting with my friend, Lisa, this morning at Panera. -And the "Pink Ribbon" Bagel is really damn tasty! Besides answering a couple of questions (the interview part), it was also nice to hear about all the theatrical things that have been happening in Richmond over the past couple of years. There have been the usual 'downs' associated with the Biz, but there seems to be quite a nice upswing in the community lately towards fostering the local talent. :)

I went ahead and headed up to VCU, my alma mater, after the breakfast meeting, to say HI to some of my former professors. When I got up to the campus area, I noticed that there was a lot of street parking available. A lot. Then I went ahead and went into the Performing Arts Center, and there was no one there. The offices were open, but I didn't see any students. It turned out that their Fall Break "weekend" started today. Ah, well...
-
Horror movies (and I don't like this movie): Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I think this is a very scary movie. All those children disappearing, and no one seems to care; they just continue on through that weird candy factory as if that is all that matters.
Since Charlie was ok at the end I figured the other children were. I also figured the other children sold out at the end, unlike our hero Charlie.

I then headed down to (Historic) Shockoe Bottom to meet my dear friend, Kirsten. -Who, as it turns out, I haven't seen in anywhere from six to ten years?!?!? -We both kept trying to figure out exactly when was the last time we saw each other. It was a great reunion, and it was so nice to catch up on each other's lives.
We lunched at place called Relish (http://www.relishdaily.com/). Cool space to eat. They have a large salad bar, plus a Hot Bar that changes "themes/cuisines" daily. Today was Indian day. -Although, I could tell the spice level had been tamed for Richmond palates. ;)

My Dad just called from the hospital. They're just waiting for my Mom's recovery room to be readied for her. However, since this morning, she's already had a brief session of physical therapy, and she took a walk! She should be in her room by 6:00, and then I'll head over for a visit. :)

If anyone wants to read a really good book, I suggest WAITER RANT by "The Waiter." It's oh so true. . .

I am posting myself into a frenzy.

-And I'm feeling much better now too. Much, much better. What's sort of strange is that I can feel that my sinuses are empty - or at least getting there. Parts of my face actually feel a little sore. ???
-
My sinuses are still clearing up, and guck is still breaking up, and my voice is here but still pretty weak, so I've got a ways to go yet. Not sure if I should go to this event tonight, but I think minimally I'll put in a brief appearance. Had to order a big batch o' CD boxes. Happily, they ship the same day and it only takes a day to arrive, so I should have them tomorrow.
-
I suppose I should think about what I want to eat - I don't think there'll be food at this thing tonight, and I can't wait until after to eat.

DR Jennifer - My mom was in CSICU - Cardiac Surgery ICU. The "regular" ICU units there have standard visiting hours, but the CSICU is "restricted" due to the nature of the patients in there. -It's basically the "first recovery" unit for anyone who's just had any sort of open heart surgery.

I told you they'd have her walking in two days! Excellent. They're probably getting pressure from her insurance about getting her out of there ASAP.

DR JoseSPiano - didn't you also recently recommend a "waiter" book....do remember the title?

Well, she probably won't be leaving the hospital until Monday or Tuesday, so... And then her battery of rehab and therapy starts up too.
*And I'm seriously considering clearing and cleaning out the fridge and pantry here tomorrow. It's not exactly what you would call a "Heart Healthy" larder. -And after the "stuff" that Mom neglected to tell her doctor during her pre-op interviews, well... We'll see. -I also have another week off in two weeks, and I think I'll back down here again to check in on things.

I was going to watch PROJECT RUNWAY when I got in from lunch, but the Private Screenings interview with Angela Lansbury was airing on TCM, so I watched that instead. I had seen it before, obviously, and wish it had been two hours because Angela could have filled it with stories about films, TV, and stage work they didn't get around to talking about much if at all.
-
Next, I watched the first Mizoguchi film in the box set: OSAKA ELEGY. It's a 1936 melodrama, not really all that interesting for me except to see his style and some interesting shots. The Eclipse DVDs haven't been cleaned or processed like a full-blown Criterion release, so this old film was filled with scratches and dirt and damage, and the soundtrack was full of hiss and crackle.
-
I skipped through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing, but Wheatley and Lucinda were in the previews so maybe Luke and Noah will be in the show tomorrow.
-
Check out the fantastic Leslie Kritzer. I believe this was her audition tape for SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE:
http://blip.tv/file/1346283/
-
In the half hour I had left, I began PROJECT RUNWAY, I got through the fashion show, so here are my thoughts:
I liked Kouto's show the best. I loved the designs, the mix of long and short, and the bold colors really caught my eye. I liked every single piece in the collection
LeAnne's look was soft and flowy, but I found the continuous "waves" monotonous. Unlike Rami's draping last year which showcased interesting designs and fits, the designs here got overpowered by those floppy, ruffly waves on almost every single piece. I'd say about six of the looks I found really appealing.
Kenley's show was a riot of color, but I didn't find it appealing. Eye-catching yes, and as demonstrative as clothes as she is as a person, but I only liked two of the designs out of the 10 pieces.
I have not heard the judges' comments (though, as I said this morning, I do know who won but not who finished second or third). Those were my picks. Of course, I haven't EVER picked a PROJECT RUNWAY winner, so what do *I* know?
-
As for last night's "Project Runway"....
I, too, liked all three collections. However...
It was interesting listening to the judge's critiques and comments. -And I had to wonder what comments got edited out. I felt all the concern over LeAnne overusing those "waves/petals" was sort of unnecessary, since LeAnne did communicate to Tim Gunn that she was inspired for this collection. -And it's not like other designers have ever "themed" a collection. In fact, that's the norm. And I don't seem to recall her using those "waves" during any of her pieces during the earlier stages of the competition.
As for Kenley's "copy-catting", well, I don't follow fashion that much at all - except for seeing what gets featured in the windows at Macy's and Bloomingdales - but even I recognized some of her unintentional "homages". And I'm sure she's paged through a copy of Vogue or W sometime in her lifetime, and I'm guessing some of the images she may have paged over probably got lodged somewhere in her mind.
As for Korto's collection, I really liked the variety of it too. And I thought her "editing" of her collection was a very smart move too.
-
YEAH!!!

Back from the mail place and Gelson's. I got some ribs - the first three were good, but the second three were too meaty for me and I left most of the meat on them. I had one package - from Optimum Releasing in the UK. I'd gotten their new DVD of Far From The Madding Crowd a few months ago. Their original release had been in an incorrect screen ratio of 1:78 rather than scope. So, we all figured they'd fixed the problem. They hadn't - despite the box (as in the first release) saying 2.35:1 it was the same old incorrect transfer. I wrote them a very strong letter about it and they wrote me back after a few days apologizing for their double screw up and they offered to send me some DVDs. Said DVDs arrived today - two box sets, one a bunch of Jean Renoir films and the other a box of four Agatha Christie films, which I have in region one - I'll check out the transfers to see if they're better. But, best of all, there was a check disc of Far From the Madding Crowd, this time done correctly. The film is coming from Warners in January, I think, but the color on this Optimum transfer is very nice, and given Warners track record, unless they're using this exact transfer, theirs will probably be all brown and ugly.

She looks great. However, they're still prepping her recovery room, but the folks down in SCICU have been making her comfortable.

I can see the heath bar pieces but not the coffee, it almost looks like vanilla.
As for Jello, it is far from full proof as far as I'm concerned.
It was definitely coffee ice cream. Maybe your monitor's colors are off. ;)
*Although, Bev's does ship, so....

Product placement is crucial. Jayne Mansfield made it a way of life.
Speaking of tonight's episode of "Ugly Betty"... ;)

Did you click on the mute button?

Thanks to DRs Jane, Jose, Laura, and George for the travel vibes. We're driving down tomorrow, partying Saturday and Sunday, and driving back Monday. Actually, my sister will do most of the driving (it's her van) and I'm the navigator. We'll see how our almost 90-year-old mother and almost 80-year-old aunt (the mother of the groom) hold up.
Then, a week from Monday, I get to take another trip to Wisconsin with Richard and Rob for Richard's graduation from Nashotah House.
-
DR JRand - As for your inquiry from last night...
DR JOSE are you playing any auditions on the October 17, 21, or 31?
17 - No.
21 - Yes.
31 - Possibly.

Does anyone have any idea why I am not getting sound while watching a youtube video?

How long a drive is that for you?

Found it! Many thanks!

Must sleep now. I'll probably be E & T most of the weekend, but will try to pop in from the hotel's business center.
'night!

Each drive will be 8-10 hours, I suspect.

DR Cillaliz - I forget, is your Dad still in the hospital? Or now that he's drunk all the "stuff" will he have to go in for the follow-up?
No, he's at home and doesn't have to go back unless he has more problems. Mom thinks he's just tired and cranky today because he was in the bathroom all night and didn't get any sleep. Now that he's all cleaned out, so to speak, he should recover just fine. At least that's the plan. I'm really glad they changed their plans this weekend and didn't try to go anywhere, now he can get some rest and get better.

Great news about the father of DR CILLA LIZ
And the mother of DR JOSE.....
-
Thanks to everyone for the vibes and prayers for my dad. It's really appreciated. I think he'll be ok now, but whenever he wants to go to the hospital, like mom said he did yesterday, it causes me a lot of concern.
-
DR TCB - for some reason, I thought Ms. Dean had already passed away......my guess is that her artifacts are much more valuable at auction than that article suggests.
-
Tonight's been a good night of TV, looking forward to Life on Mars
-
DR JOSE my friend Keith Dunn has auditions on those days, but I am not sure where.....you might just listen for his name and surprise him with mine.
-
DR GINNY - Carrollton GA is the adopted hometown and burial place of Academy Award winner Miss Susan Hayward!
-
DR TCB - Miss Jayne Mansfield met her Waterloo in a 1966 Buick Electra - had she been in an Imperial the result might have been different.....but then again....maybe not.
-
DR TCB - for some reason, I thought Ms. Dean had already passed away......my guess is that her artifacts are much more valuable at auction than that article suggests.
Being the last survivor, and especially since she needs the money to pay for nursing home fees, I would hope that people would bid more than they would under normal auction circumstances. It's not like a private collector is just getting rid of some stuff and wants to get rich.
As they say...big high and bid often! :D

Time for me to leave. Have a good rest of the evening, all!

DR TCB, did you see this article on the last survivor of the Titanic? Last Titanic survivor sell mementos to pay for care (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081016/ap_on_re_eu/eu_britain_titanic_survivor)
That was an interesting reply, I forgot you might have met her in person.
No I hadn't seen the article. Thank you, Jane, for the link. I never got to meet Ms. Dean personally, although I did say hello to her when we arrived back from the site. The slideshow picture says that she was on the Royal Majesty with me, but I thought she was on the other ship that went to the site. The only survivor I ever got to meet and talk to was Eleanor Johnson Schuman. She signed the print I have of the Titanic Grand Staircase.

'night

DR ELMORE how do you know Adam Chandler?
-
Time for to go to bed.
I will add some films mentioned today to my TOD:
Rosemary's Baby
Revenge of the Creature - moreso than CFTBL
The Undead, of course
Psycho
The Pit and the Pendulum
-
If I were in the third grade, I might ask whether, upon his finishing his audition, someone asked "Are you Dunn?"
but alas, I'm not in the third grade.
-
I haven't gotten a darn thing done at the office for the past two days. I've been going back and forth with the salesmen from LexisNexis and WestLaw. The Lexis guy was so rude this morning I couldn't stand it. So that helped me make my decision really quickly. I really HAVE to get something accomplished tomorrow. Sheesh!
-
Oh, and Westlaw is ssaving me lots of money and giving me a better data base. I'm very happy about it
-
I agree about HUSH, HUSH, SWEET CHARLOTTE. I definitely think it was a horror film. It certainly scared the crap out of me when I was a teenager.
I also agree with those who have mentioned THE HAUNTING, and I'm angry I left it off my list.
-
I finished PROJECT RUNWAY. I would have reversed the first and second place finishers, but otherwise, I was satisfied with the results and with the fashion show itself.
This season wasn't quite as entertaining as last season for me, and I'm glad it's finished for awhile. It'll be nice to take a breather from all that drama and relax into fictional prime time TV shows.
-
I had time to watch MURDER OVER NEW YORK, another Charlie Chan mystery. I had never seen this one, and I did not guess the identity of the murderer which really disappointed me though I didn't think the clues were presented at all and so it really was just a guessing game with nothing really to base an opinion on.
-
I really enjoyed seeing Gio again (Freddy spent his summer working out; his arms looked at least an inch thicker), and the Hilda/coach story was bittersweet and lovely. Glad to be done with D.J., hopefully for awhile.

Is the whole transfer over to Lifetime still up in the air at this point? I haven't seen much about the injunction lately.

I enjoyed GREY'S ANATOMY tonight even with a grumpier than ever Derek. I loved Izzie's stand. And the dermatology wing was a scream.

Yes, it is all up in the air. At this point, PROJECT RUNWAY is in limbo even though they're filming the next season in L.A. anyway.

I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting today. I bought what looks like a good cookbook and discovered the web tools will take your recipe and make it more healthy. It's worth a try on some of my favorites. I think I'm going to like this
-
LIFE ON MARS had another intriguing episode. The pushy neighbor was a bit much, but I guess he has to make SOME friends not connected to work. I guessed about one of the guilty parties pretty quickly. Lee Tergesen is always adorable with short hair.
-
How can tomorrow be Friday already?
-
Back from the event. I absolutely should not have gone and I knew it the minute I walked into the bar - I felt crappy, my cough was ridiculous, I'm having trouble breathing, suddenly I'm starting to be achy (I thought this was OVER!), and there was air conditioning on in the bar. It was a nice, crowded event - lots of soap opera people I didn't know (but I met several of them) except for Kevin's co-star on Days, Patrika. I was photographed on the red carpet (apparently I was considered a celebrity), interviewed for some website, etc. The minute I got into the bar, a lady approached me with a DVD cover for The Faculty, and asked me to sign it, which I happily did. I met a few people, saw a friend of Barry Pearl's, but I couldn't have a conversation with anyone because it was so loud and my voice is so weak it was just impossible. I stayed longer than I should have, mostly nursing a Diet Coke. After about ninety minutes I took my leave. Then traffic on Sunset Blvd at eight-ten on a Thursday night was absolutely reprehensible - AND for no reason other than people driving like morons.
-
I'm now home, trying not to be achy and have the chills - drinking some EmergenC in hot water is helping a little.
-
Awww. I hope you feel better in the morning, BK.
-

Hmm... Sounds like you might need anti-biotics. Can you see a doctor?
-
Yep, sounds like what you have has developed into the flu of some kind. I'd stay in as much as possible and continue drinking your fluids (and take some aspirin or substitute.)
-
I hate anti-biotics or anything stronger than what I'm taking. I'm hoping it's just because I was out when I shouldn't have been. The warm water has helped. I'm still going to try and not do Ny-quil tonight, but if I continue to be achy, jogging tomorrow is a serious question mark.
-
-But that's cool about signing the souvenir from "The Faculty". I guess you must have be on THE LIST.
-
My friend Hal called tonight and wants to go vote early tomorrow. I've never done this, but we're going to go. So, I don't know what time I'll be able to log on tomorrow. I suspect there will be a line.
-
It actually surprised me - I've never been asked to sign anything from The Faculty.
-
Heading down now to bed.
Good night!

You really should never exercise when you're sick anyway. Your body needs the rest. Get the rest. Just make the decision now to sleep in tomorrow morning, or at least just to take it easy tomorrow morning. -And eat a decent breakfast too.

Luckily, my first meal o' the day will be breakfast - at noon, but breakfast nonetheless. I'm so obsessive about the jogging and I've managed to do it every day, although the last two days have been really difficult. We'll see.

Everybody took a hike. I don't have the patience to watch another motion picture on DVD - I watched one earlier and it was LONG.
-
I'd try to rest a few days if I were you, BK. Let your body recover a little bit.
-
OK... Sleep time.
Goodnight.
