In my CD player at work (when I get there in the morning), even though it's after Christmas: "The Ultimate Christmas Collection" by The Brian Setzer Orchestra, The Manhattan Transfer's "An Acapella Christmas" (that's how it's spelled on the CD..."Acapella"), The Manhattan Transfer's "The Christmas Concert" (CD that I made from the DVD) and the original cast recording to The Glorious Ones by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty

Probably because der B and I both spent so much time (individually) watching the bonus material on the BD Casino Royale, I've been re-viewing the bonus stuff on the earlier Bond Special Edition DVDs. So far, I've finished through On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Next up will be Diamonds Are Forever.

Thought I'd share (and also I wanted it on the permanent internet site that is HHW :) ) the Colander Guy parody in its current state. A dear friend said that if I was going to put a verse that it's about Food network's Mario Batali, i should just totally commit to the concept instead of just mentioning Batali in the verse, so...
COLANDER GUY (LOVE SONG TO MARIO BATALI)
Parody lyric by Fred Landau
(Parody of “Calendar Girl” by Neil Sedaka & Howard Greenfield)
I love, I love, I love my colander guy
Yeah, my colander guy
I love Batali, he’s my colander guy
Every single day that we eat
[1st chorus]
Fusilli
I'm so silly with love
Angel hair
He comes from heaven above
Cavatelli
I tell ya I covet that guy
Al dente
And I’m firmly gonna tell you why
Yeah, yeah
That pasta and pan
I love, I love Batali, he’s my colander man
Every day, every way
That I eat
[2nd chorus]
Elbow
I pray that he’ll be my beau
Marinara
He’s the one I wanna marry-oh
Buckwheat
Yeah, we’ll be buckin' a trend
Corkscrew
Pop a cork ‘cause it’ll never end
Yeah, yeah
The pasta we’ll drain!
That Mario Batali, he’s my colander swain
Every day, every way
That we eat
[Possible instrumental, followed by:
Yeah, yeah
That pasta is why
That Mario Batali is my colander guy
Every day, every way
That I eat]
[3rd chorus]
Farfalle
You know I wouldn't fall so far
Lasagna
But his noodles are the best there are
Orecchiette
He’s all ears and he never gets bored
Buitoni
He a beaut and he deserves an award
Yeah, yeah,
For my fav-rite food
I love I love Batali, he’s my colander dude
Every day, every way
That we eat
I love, I love, I love my colander guy
Yeah, sweet colander guy
I love Batali, he’s my colander guy
Yeah, sweet colander guy…

And in case anyone was wondering, there really is a Mario Batali Colander. I have to switch my 2008 colander for a 2009 colander, though.

Good morning, all! I have a date with DR Ben and Anthony this evening, and I look forward to seeing them. For the rest of the day, it's waiting for Fed Ex, the final edits of BABES, and later a trip to the market and my walk.
DR Nursie, it's the Albert Finney SCROOGE I detest, much as I like the cast. I remember seeing it and thinking that, while it wasn't a LOST HORIZON disaster, it was just a very ugly film. I probably should watch it again sometme to see if my opinion's changed. I much prefer Alastair Sim, George C Scott and Patrick Stewart adaptations.
I just ordered SCROOGE from Amazon.com; I'll rewatch it.

Isn't that funny. I saw the Patrick Stewart version over Christmas for the first time, and I hated it. It seemed flat, dully acted and produced, and not really well paced. I never ever want to watch that again.
I do agree with DR Dan (the Man), and have said so on several occasions, that the "Scrooge in Hell" segment is my least favorite moment in the Finney/SCROOGE, and I wouldn't mind its not being there at all (though the muscle men are fun to look at).

I also love Jeremy Northam playing Ivor Novello in GOSFORD PARK. And he sings several songs in the movie that forced me to buy the soundtrack CD just for the songs. And Maggie Smith's acid comments throughout the movie are priceless. Plus there's a wonderful mystery. One of my favorite Robert Altman films.

Playing right as I write: Paul O'Dette on Elizabethan lute music.
Nice, quiet day yesterday... A nice walk through the neighborhood, hit the treadmill and stationary bike at the local community club house gym, a little (VERY little) writing on my thesis, some gratifying playage of my guitar (Bach is so soothing), and a short amble through the ol' Albertson's to get a few groceries. Monk was on ALL day, so I caught a few episodes here and there.
Wrote and answered happy noo yeer greetings. And that was my day. So here we are, IN the year 2009... oh, boy, where does it go when it goes???

Happy second day of January 2009.
I am in the "throes" of a head/chest cold. It began as a tickle in my throat and remained lodged there as it worsened.
I was pretty much in a stupor all day yesterday because of it. I thought of visiting HHW.com to ask scrimshaw how to move past that, but realized he hasn't posted about having a cold.
Today I am hacking up great gobs of goop. I'm hoping to feel better by tomorrow.

This is the food of America—from Cincinnati 4-Way Chili to New England Hot Pot, from Georgia Ham and Black-Eyed Pea Stew to Traditional Kentucky Burgoo—and it's simple, savory and satisfying. James Villas has collected from his lifelong travels around the country more than 150 blissfully easy recipes for comforting stews that demand a place on any table, no matter where you live.
Whatever you've got a hankering for, you'll find a stew for it in this book. Pork, chicken, beef, game, fish, shellfish, even vegetables, beans and fruits can be transformed into sumptuous one-pot wonders. Savor Mother's Old-Fashioned Oyster Stew, hunker down with Braised Bourbon Rosemary Beef, revel in Chicken Gumbo Ya Ya. Fell like a walk on the wild side? How about Low Country Stewed Rabbit Smothered with Onions, Minnesota Braised Pheasant with Wild Rice or Tennessee Quail Burgoo? For those meals when you want the satisfaction but not the meat, try Cajun Maque Choux, Jack Czarnecki's Stewed Wild Mushrooms or California Vegetable and Chickpea Chili. And don't put your stewpot away just yet—there's still dessert. Enjoy the heady flavors of Bucks County Stewed Spiced Pears or Stewed Gingered Figs.
Stew just wouldn't be stew without biscuits to sop up every last tantalizing mouthful. Jim has assembled a red, white and blue collection of America's best—Old-Fashioned Beaten Biscuits, Texas Fried Soda Biscuits, Crackling Yeast Biscuits—thirteen in all.

I believe the SCROOGE in hell segment was one that was regularly cut for the t.v. broadcast version. I kind of like it--Guinness is a lot of fun in it. And if you have the super-deluxe SCROOGE souvenir book (there were actually two, believe it or don't), you know that his "song" actually had several verses, the lyric to which is reproduced. I think they got one whiff of Guinness' "voice" and decided to wisely cut most of the "tune."

I meant to be generic, that of all SCROOGE & CHRISTMAS CAROL movies, the Albert Finny one is my favorite. It is because I never liked any of the versions up until then & I enjoyed Albert Finny so much. I think I was over exposed to the Mr. Magoo one as a child which I hated with a passion. I wish I had read A CHRISTMAS CAROL before I ever saw it.

Text-messaging, 911 use among the many areas affected by new California laws
...
The California Highway Patrol plans no grace period before enforcing the law that takes effect today prohibiting the use of text-messaging devices -- including cellphones, BlackBerrys and laptop computers -- while driving, according to CHP spokeswoman Fran Clader. And a motorist does not have to be caught in a vehicle that is moving to get a ticket.
"Motorists may not text at a stoplight," she said. "They are still operating a vehicle and need to focus their attention on the safe operation of that vehicle."
Fines are $20 for first offenses and $50 for subsequent violations, Clader said.

I think many of the Jule Styne songs for Mr Magoo and better than those for the Albert Finney version, especially the evocative "Winter Was Warm."
The Mr. Magoo version holds a special place in my heart since that was the version they would always show each year at the Coast Guard Academy's Family Christmas Celebration. The party would start off with a showing of the movie, and then we would all head out into the lobby for punch and cookies with Santa. Santa would also give us a Christmas gift, and not just some random Christmas gift, but something we really wanted. -I always knew that Santa got our letters/wish-lists somehow! :)

Sadly, I don't think Patrick Stewart's solo-show version of "A Christmas Carol" is available (legally) on DVD or otherwise.

DR Nursie, it's the Albert Finney SCROOGE I detest, much as I like the cast. I remember seeing it and thinking that, while it wasn't a LOST HORIZON disaster, it was just a very ugly film. I probably should watch it again sometme to see if my opinion's changed. I much prefer Alastair Sim, George C Scott and Patrick Stewart adaptations.
I just ordered SCROOGE from Amazon.com; I'll rewatch it.
I meant to be generic, that of all SCROOGE & CHRISTMAS CAROL movies, the Albert Finny one is my favorite. It is because I never liked any of the versions up until then & I enjoyed Albert Finny so much. I think I was over exposed to the Mr. Magoo one as a child which I hated with a passion. I wish I had read A CHRISTMAS CAROL before I ever saw it.
You hated MR. MAGOO'S CHRISTMAS CAROL??? I am shocked and appalled! That is my all-time favorite verson of CHRISTMAS CAROL, possibly even better than Albert Finney's SCROOGE, but not quite as good as mine.

Is BK still sleeping?

Oy--I have just gotten off of a one hour phone call with Qwest (yes, the above messages were typed with one finger, I'll have you know--guess which one ;) ). Qwest is no longer offering cellphones and is switching over to Verizon, so I called to do that and was on hold FOREVER. Verizon was claiming we had a past due amount, which is absurd, and it took them forever to figure out their computer system had a glitch. Of course it was with our account.
Did I mention we woke up to more snow and ice this morning?

LATIMES (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-newlawsweb1-2009jan01,0,4589893.story)
Text-messaging, 911 use among the many areas affected by new California laws
...
The California Highway Patrol plans no grace period before enforcing the law that takes effect today prohibiting the use of text-messaging devices -- including cellphones, BlackBerrys and laptop computers -- while driving, according to CHP spokeswoman Fran Clader. And a motorist does not have to be caught in a vehicle that is moving to get a ticket.
"Motorists may not text at a stoplight," she said. "They are still operating a vehicle and need to focus their attention on the safe operation of that vehicle."
Fines are $20 for first offenses and $50 for subsequent violations, Clader said.
...
der Brucer
And I'm sure they'll enforce this just as they've done the no cell phone use without an ear device or speakerphone law - i.e. not at all. As I've said, I have never seen a CHP or cop pull anyone over for blatant cell phone use while driving and so people just continue to blatantly do it. I've seen them blatantly do it with a cop car NEXT to them and the cops still don't pull them over. The fact is, I think a cop should be penalized for not enforcing these laws.

Well, the speakers were never on, so it didn't make a noise. I actually had discovered the tone arm on the turntable several weeks ago, and had permanently set it to the "up" position, so that even if it moves over (and Lord only knows how that happens), it wouldn't "play" the turntable. But this was the first time I had tried to play an LP since then. It was actually kind of funny when I got the stylus out (which was a bit of a trial)--the poor needle was completely bent back on itself.

Happy second day of January 2009.
I am in the "throes" of a head/chest cold. It began as a tickle in my throat and remained lodged there as it worsened.
I was pretty much in a stupor all day yesterday because of it. I thought of visiting HHW.com to ask scrimshaw how to move past that, but realized he hasn't posted about having a cold.
Today I am hacking up great gobs of goop. I'm hoping to feel better by tomorrow.

It was misting rain when I came out of the grocery store, but I got everything to my car without getting too wet. After weeks of NO ONE being at the store on Friday, today it was a madhouse. ARgh! I couldn't wait to get out of there.
-
Good afternoon. I have just finished emptying out and vacuuming my car. This was not as mundane a task as you might think.
My car has always been a source of guilt for me. I tend to let things pile up, tossed in the backseat with the thought "I'll come get it later" and "later" never seems to come. As a result I had papers back there from some concerts and conferences I went to in 06, not to mention a collection of mismatches gloves, CD's, jackets and sweatshirts, old make-up, hats, empty water bottles, a pair of nylons (Hey, tell me I'm not the first lady to strip her nylons off once she gets in the car for a long drive home) some baby stuff, and a melange of other various debris.
I brought it ALL into the house, piled it in a pile, and mercilessly began to throw away whatever I didn't absolutely need in the car (like the ice scraper and a gift card to Starbucks) I now have a large bag of trash to throw away, some CD's to file, a few empty coffee cups already in the dishwasher, some laundry to do, and a perfectly EMPTY car.
I then went through with the vacuum and cleaned up every crumb and pine needle.
Then I used the some vinyl cleaning wipes to clean all the non-cloth surfaces.
My car is unrecognizable as my own. DH Jed is going to faint when he comes home.
I feel very good about this, as you can tell :)
And my darling son slept through the entire thing in his swing, not waking up for the vacuuming or anything.

Since we're all going out to dinner tonight when Gregg gets back into town, I only had a small salad as a snack for lunch. While I ate it, I watched another NCIS episode from Season 3. A man's head is found in the back of a car, but the man was allegedly cremated some months earlier, so naturally there has to be an investigation. I didn't figure out all of the guilty parties, but I did guess one of the main ones.
-
I tend to enjoy most versions of Scrooge/Christmas Carol. I admit, I have a special fondness for the Muppet Christmas Carol, though...I love Michael Caine as Scrooge.
-
Ann, wanna come do my car?
-
Next, I went back to work and watched SWING VOTE. It's a light political satire. Costner's main character is a real turnoff (kind of a deadbeat dad with this adorable and adoring 11 year old little girl who has to be HIS parent), but there is a wonderful supporting cast: Nathan Lane, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Dennis Hopper, Chip Espin (whom I just love), and the little girl is played by a sensational newcomer Madeline Carroll who absolutely steals the movie.

I listened to the audio commentary. The director is one of those people who punctuates every few words with "you know" which just drove me crazy. I tend to start listening for those and tuning out what else he's actually saying. Fortunately, his co-writer did the commentary with him, and he didn't do that, so it was good when he started talking.
-
I was going to save the other bonus features for when I got back from dinner tonight, but there were only three of them, the longest one being 13 minutes, so I went ahead and watched them all.
-
So, it looks like when I get back from dinner, I'll have the evening to watch some fun things. Good!

A little bit of trivia from imdb - "People" was originally written for MR. MAGOO'S CHRISTMAS CAROL
Trivia for
Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol (1962) (TV)
The composers Bob Merrill and Jule Styne offered a song entitled "People" for the score but the animation had already been completed and it was too late to include it. Instead they added it to the score of a Broadway musical they were writing called "Funny Girl", where it became the first of many hits for the star, Barbra Streisand.
-
DR Ann, congratulations on a clean car. Now I must do the same to the junk & Christmas decorations still cluttered around the house.
-
As with DR Matt - the soundtrack of "Gosford Park" was indeed worth buying.
We recently watched the wonderful Kelly Macdonald (Gosford Park, No Country For Old Men, Finding Neverland) in "The Girl in The Cafe" (which also starred Bill Nighy)
Also worthwhile viewing was the talented Timothy Spall in "Mr Harvey Lights A Candle".

Today has been a day already. I woke up to find the passenger door window smashed. The thief took a cell phone charger, an audio cord, a pair of iPhone headphones, 2 broken bluetooth headsets and a case of water. The thief did NOT take an iPhone and an amplifier. So, I've spent the morning nailing down a mobile glass repair person (done, will be here soon) and cleaning the garage so I could pull the car in (from the rain) so said repair person can work out of the rain. Tomorrow, we leave for a quick jaunt to Disneyland, so I'll be happy when all this can be done and in the past. The upside is that we had to clean the garage to get the car in. Less work later...
In the meantime, an afternoon of Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero.

"People who need people" works better for me in A CHRISTMAS CAROL than in FUNNY GIRL, I must say. I also mustsay that I always thought Mr Magoo was funny and I was impressed that his performance as Scroge was played as straight as it was. Of course, don't forget that I realized my dad during his last year had turned into Elmer Fudd.
I'm just waiting around for my guests.

Back from a lunch meeting with David Wechter - went to a deli in Tarzana that was new to me - it was pretty good. We spent two hours going over Nudie things, then I picked up a lot of packages, then I came home to the news that CDs will be delivered today, but that somehow some of the inlay cards hadn't shown up (they would not have known this until they actually packaged) - the print house is trying to find them and if they can't they'll have to run them first thing Monday morning. The good news is that I should have just enough to take care of all the Kritzerland orders and almost all of the store orders - one big online dealer can't pay until the middle of the month, so because of that I'm safe, I think, to ship everything else. Whew!
-
Depending on when they get here, my plan is to pack them all up and get them to the post office before they close - if I don't make it, then they'll be there first thing in the morning. I'll also take the biggest of the store orders over to the UPS Store and get those large number of boxes on their way. That will be the biggest payment I'll be expecting, so the sooner they get them the sooner I get my dough.

My sister just called. Her first chemo treatment was a couple of days ago, and so far she feels good. Thanks for your vibes! They are working!
I am glad to hear it, Laura. We'll keep up the good vibes!
-
DR Tomovoz, my sympathies to you on the loss of your burner machine - which has provided so much pleasure to so many here, over the years. :'(
-
DR Matthew - so sorry to hear of your misfortune. Although it sounds like it could have been worse. :(
-
So GLAD to hear of the good news for Laura DR's Dear Sister!!!!! :D
May her progress and prognosis continue to be well.

Good to hear DR DearReaderLaura. All the very best to your sister from the land of OZ. Thank you for keeping us up to date.
And I hope this is a good week for the Family Vix as well.

Perhaps I should try playing Patti Lupone's "Gypsy" on my PC. That should be shock treatment enough. NO I didn't buy it. It is the Lincoln Centre performance in its entirety (I think, as I could not get further than the first five minutes or so!)

I've just sent my bank account information to a poor widow in North Africa. I'll get her to pass on the information DR SlapDash.

Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS to DR Ann on her clean up job. It inspires me to do some of the same...although I have different areas needing that kind of attention. :P

Today was the first day in I don't know how long that I didn't have anything that I had to do. I thought I would spend it just lounging around the house (wearing my lounging pajamas, of course), but by noon I was feeling antsy. I got myself dressed and drove to a Lowes where I purchased a shop vac. Then I headed to my favorite comic store and then broused in a Borders and a Barnes and Nobel (purchased a calander and a copy of New York mag.)
But now I'm feeling wiped out and I've called a pair of friends turning down their invite to go see BENJAMIN BUTTON. Tonight will be a stay in nite, perhaps watching the string bands from yesterday's Mummers parade.

Ditto! I know this guy (he's a music director and voice teacher) whose car was broken into many years ago and ALL of his music scores (selections and full scores) were stolen! He kept them in his car because he would go to his students' houses for their lessons. It was QUITE the expensive lesson that he learned. :-\
-
DR George, that is very sad. Why would anyone steal the music, unless they were looking for it.
-
Feel better vibes for DR Ron.

DR George, that is very sad. Why would anyone steal the music, unless they were looking for it.
He assumed that whoever did it just wanted something that would sell quickly (for drugs, most likely) but was essentially untraceable.

I believe the best ever Scrooge performance also included segments of the Cane Mutiny - and it wasn't a sugar candy cane. The DVD is available on ebay or at least somewhere in the Pacific North West.
Does anyone know what in the world this guy is talking about?

Well, CDs arrived, and I got them all packaged and shipped. The post office was a madhouse but happily I just took my stuff to the back and dropped it off. I then shipped out the huge online dealer order at the UPS Store - also madness - apparently January 2 is THE day to ship packages. They must have had three hundred of them stacked up there.

As a combined Christmas/Birthday present my sister-in-law send me a "Game" - TAOC - the art of conversation! It consists of 300 topics.
I rarely see my my youngest brother and his wife so I don't think it was any sort of hint! (They live about four hours drive away). (I didn't grow up in the same family as my brothers)
I find it rather sad that such a game even exists! Why would you have a group of friends together if they didn't have something to talk about anyway?
-
I've not opened the packs of topic cards.
The topics I can see are:
1. Who taught you to drive and were you happy with their approach. (Maybe that's a golf question)
2. Can you remember the first song you learnt. Yes or no would seem to be the appropriate answers
3. What would you do if you were sure to get away with it?
-
Perhaps I should send the pack to our esteemed leader for TOTD!
-

How do you play the game? Is it just a conversation question or are there rules to go with it and a winner?
-
Supposedly no winners! There are rules - mostly based on time to give an answer or opinion or to ask players to elaborate etc.

That seems rather lame, as games go. If you are in a group where one person dominates the conversation it might be useful as a way to give everyone a chance to talk. LOL-I am no way inferring that you talk too much.

Well, I hate to do it, but I must leave. I'm ushering for a show downtown at Harlequin Productions (http://www.harlequinproductions.org/)' State Theatre...the latest in their annual "Stardust" shows. According to their on-line volunteer calendar, there are only five, count 'em FIVE people signed up to usher tonight! They ususally at least eight!! :o I hope other people show up and they just didn't get listed on-line. :-\

How sad. I just read that actor John Costelloe who played the gay character Johnny Cakes on THE SOPRANOS committed suicide the week before Christmas.
-
Hello. I have nothing to say. That is all.

Suicide is very difficult to understand. I understand the feeling, not the act. It is very sad.

Good Evening!
Well... That was a nice walk through Chelsea, Union Square, the East Village... Then back through Union Square and Chelsea.

I am a happy new PS3 owner, courtesy of the sale I mentioned a day or so ago. It arrived today and I was able to get it setup, firmware upgraded and BD Live account(s) operational within just a few minutes. Boy, does this load faster than my old Samsung or even my other Sony. That is the one thing I don't like about BD's--their loading time. HD-DVDs just start right out of the gate.

Well my plans for the weekend have been turned topsy turvy. I had planned to spend the evening stripping wallpaper so I could paint in the morning, take my car in for service in the afternoon, paint again in the evening and spend Sunday working at the office. Turns out we are going to have freezing drizzle about 7:00 AM turning to snow and getting colder. Sounds like ice to me. So, I ran my weekend errands went to the office and boxed up some work.
-
G'night!

I was so taken aback by DR MBarnum's ability to invent words that I forgot to mention what a great time I had with Anthony and DR Ben this evening!

I don't exactly know why, but it took me longer to write up SWING VOTE tonight than just about any other DVD or Blu-ray I've dealt with in the past year. Weird.
But glad it's done.

Dinner was at a new Chinese restaurant, and the buffet was just super good. I enjoyed everything I ate, but I stuck this first time with the tried and true. Next time, I'll try some of the other things.
It was nice to see Gregg back from visiting his parents in St. Louis. He seemed glad to be home.
-
When I went back downstairs, I didn't really feel like a movie, so I watched the last two installments of BROADWAY: THE AMERICAN MUSICAL. Just the kind of shows to settle me in for the evening.
-
I skimmed today's AS THE WORLD TURNS, and there was nothing of interest, but previews for next week did feature the fellas and the big mouthed Jade who spills the beans about Brian.
-
Yes, a grand time was had on the Upper West Side. Good food was consumed, good conversation was had, presents were exchanged and it was an all around wonderful experience. Thanks to our dear host Mr. Moore for sparkling conversation, wonderful pecan pie, apple pie and ice cream!
-
I decided I'd watch a Hitchcock, and as I looked over them on the Hitchcock shelf, I spied THE 39 STEPS which I hadn't watched in quite some time. It's Criterion's last issue of the film. When I started it up, I noticed a documentary on it that dealt with Hitchcock's British period, and I didn't remember ever having seen that feature, so I watched it first.
-
P.S. Larry looks great. His weight loss continues and he is in good health and spirits. Hooray (I make it sound like he was sick, he's not but he does look very good).
-
When it was finished, I began THE 39 STEPS, but I only got about an hour into it, so I have the remaining thirty minutes tomorrow. It's a marvelous film, and I think it must be Robert Donat at his most charismatic.

Good news from DR LAURA.
Shocking news from DR MATTHEW.
And in other news.....other DRs....
Wow...HHW was a hopping place this First Friday of 2009.
I just watched DOCTOR ATOMIC on PBS and enjoyed it very much, but was pretty much bored and irritated every time the good Doctor's wife or that Indian Woman stepped forward to sing some useless bit of drivel......the scenic elements were most intriguing....even on TELEVISION!!!
-
And now it is time to go to bed.....
-
I received my copies of SCARLET and VAN HELSING'S JOURNAL.....MR BK, myself, and DR MBARNUM are among the contributors in one or the other or BOTH.
-
DR Matthew - so sorry to hear of your misfortune. Although it sounds like it could have been worse. :(

He kept them in his car because he would go to his students' houses for their lessons. It was QUITE the expensive lesson that he learned. :-\
Well, that gave me the shivers.
The one time my car was broken in to, "they" took a tuxedo (which was a rental!?!? - OY!), and a duffel bag filled with my spare keyboard pedals and power supplies, as well as a stack of orchestra parts, which, thankfully, were xeroxes. However, on the very dimly lit bright side, the duffel bag had been recently "marked" by a cat, and once something gets "marked", well, you know it. The worst part of the whole deal was the shock of discovering that someone had done such a thing... and all that broken glass.
-
DR MBarnum, when is DD Bosco's surgery?
Yet to be arranged.

I still don't have anything to say.

Well... If you feel like taking another chance on "Doctor Atomic", they also just recently released a video of the original production that was directed by Peter Sellars. In some ways, it works better than the recent Met staging, as it "explains" some of the stretches of music where seemingly nothing happened on stage (at the Met). There was a much larger dance element to the original production.

I was so taken aback by DR MBarnum's ability to invent words that I forgot to mention what a great time I had with Anthony and DR Ben this evening!
I will have you know that "picturized" is indeed a word DR Elmore. It is the word used to describe the Bollywood musical numbers. I think it is Hindi, or Sanskrit.
Google the word and you will see.

In Salem, Oregon, and particularly in my neighborhood, you never leave anything in your car...otherwise, within a few hours you will have nothing in your car.

I'm heading down now to go to bed and hopefully have a better night of sleep than last night.
Good night!

I had the passenger window broken out of my car once when I was parked along side the Mormon Temple in Mesa, AZ. I was in the library doing geneology research and came out to find broken glass. There wasn't anything in the car to steal, so they just broke the window and left, but it still was frightening and a pain in the butt to take care of.
