Well, you've read the notes, the notes were Mahlerian, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're having a piece of MOOhler's.

And the word of the day is: NUGATORY!

And now - Dino at the piano.

A Very Happy Birthday to DR TPunk!! ;D

And now, to bed.

Bed, bed, I couldn't go to bed...

Anthony will be leaving for a journey back to Wisconsin on about February 5th or 6th to do The Fantasticks at Fireside Dinner Theatre. He will be there until April 20th.
I will be heading out to Fort Atkinson, via Madison on March 27th to see said Anthony in said production. I will return to New York on March 31. I am officially booked with a very good ticket price and a nonstop flight. Let's hope the weather holds out until March 27.

A very happy birthday to Miss TPunk

Good morning, all! The things I miss when I sign off: I see that DR FJL is heading into a recording studio to skewer Mr Piven and DR cillaliz has joined the anti-Tina Fey groupies for her dead-center brilliant twist on a Baked Alaskan, now that the object of my scorn has denounced Ms Fey to the press for doing her job too well. The coven is in an uproar, I guess, and good for Ms Fey to fight back. What a busy night!
That sets me wondering: have any other nominees in the past pissed and moaned publicly about how comic impersonators have destroyed their bid for 30 minutes of fame?
I am up bright and early to head to Toyland; I forgot to check something in the Act One edits and I need to do it today before I get deeper into Act Two. After that, back to Frank Loesser.

TOD:
My favorite fries are the Curley Fries at Chik-Fil-A.
I also liked the Potato Skins served at one of my favorite local pubs, the Kyber Pass, but I don't think they have them anymore. It seems that Potato Skins had fallen off the menu just about everywhere when Atkin's was the rage--hopefully they will make a come back.
-
Slow news day here at HHW?
Where is everyone?
-
10:00 AM and still on Page One?
-
I very rarely eat french fries. But when I do, I eat the ones that come with my DH's hot dog at his favorite hot dog stand in Phoenix. I don't know if they are the best....sometimes I just can't fight the temptation any longer.
-
DR Laura, you are not here.

Feh--I tire of Page One!

Page Two--this will do.

Tuesday morning greetings! I just saw Richard off to London (Ohio) for church business and I'm trying to figure out how to spend my day.
The title of today's notes reminds me of the only community theater show I did after DR Elmore (my favorite director) left town - Company. I played Sarah and the oaf who played Harry was absolutely certain that "a piece of Mahler's" referred to candy.
-
Happiest of birthdays to DR TPunk!
-
Good morning!
Colder this morning but we should have about the same high temps today as yesterdya - 50. Then, we get colder for a couple of days. It's brightly overcast right now, a curious phenomenon.

On TV Tonight!™
CBS - NCIS, THE MENTALIST, WITHOUT A TRACE
NBC - THE BIGGEST LOSER, LAW & ORDER: SVU
ABC - HOMELAND SECURITY USA, SCRUBS, PRIMETIME

Happy Happy Birthday to DR TPunk!!

Much as I dread it, I'll be working on NATIONAL LAMPOON'S STONED AGE today, and frankly will be glad to get it out of the way. Sad to say, 2008 was not a kind year for live action Paramount comedies. I've had to suffer this year through STRANGE WILDERNESS, DRILLBIT TAYLOR, and THE LOVE GURU plus the direct-to-video WITHOUT A PADDLE: NATURE'S CALLING and from other studios DISASTER MOVIE, COLLEGE ROAD TRIP, and THE WOMEN, and not a half dozen funny jokes among the lot of them.
-
Happy Birthday DR TPUNK!
-
Edmund Purdom was also in TITANIC with Barbara Stanwyck and Clifton Webb, playing Herbert Lightoller, who was played by Kenneth More in A NIGHT TO REMEMBER.
-
I had read about Edmond Purdom's passing and while he was never a great actor or a great star, it's still sad to be losing all of these famous names from their 1950s heydays.
-
I'm heading down now to check the mail and then get lunch started.

I love it that Fey reads the internet. I think her identifying certain internet flamers by name was brilliant. I think some folks need to be acknowledged for the ugly things they write on the internet.
There's always someone looking for someone/something to vilify, and that sometimes makes the internet a very pissy place.
I think Alec Baldwin should just laugh and laugh every time he wins an award for "30 Rock" or makes a TV appearance and thank Bill O'Reilly for declaring his career "dead."
Sean Penn was one of those O'Reilly condemned to a career death, too...before he won his Oscar!
-
Today will be another warm, warm day in the Bay Area. Blue skies, temps in the mid 70s, and no rain in sight until, possibly, late in the month.

My local PBS station (KQED) has been airing "The Story of India" -- showing two parts on Monday evenings the past two weeks. It's a six-part series and it's spectacular in high def.
I pre-ordered the BD version on Amazon this morning.

I, mentioned the term "moksha" last week, but never referenced where I'd heard it. One of the episodes went into great detail about Buddha and wheels and paths and such esoteric stuff as that.
It's a really good series.
-
I think I pretty much knew what Sondheim meant when I first heard "a piece of Mahler's" but I took it to heart that it was how then-trendy (early 70's) chic New Yorkers talked. And while I don't think I ever actually used the phrase myself, I'm sure in the back of my mind I thought I was taking in "a piece of Beethoven's" or "a piece of Tchiakovsky's" everytime I attended an orchestra concert.

And the word of the day is: NUGATORY!
Silas claimed he couldn't work because he was an invalid, but his insurance company declaired his claim NUGATORY.

I hope TPunk's birthday is joyous and that she is in good health.

I'm up, I'm up. Looks like another warm and pretty day outside, therefore I'll try to be jogging in about thirty minutes.

HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO THE DEARLY MISSED TPUNK!!!!

It is cold here on the Island of Long - 20 degrees - of course it is probably balmy compared to what Cilla is experiencing!

Re GWB's news conference I was watching Regis & Kelly and they preempted the entire show
-
I'm not sure where we've had the best fries or rings.
There's a place down towards the boardwalk called Thrasher's, that serves fries and just fries. No ketchup, but you can add salt and vinegar. They're very popular, but I've always found them kinda limp.
-
Good Morning! Good Afternoon!
I'm up, I'm up... And I guess I just really needed that much sleep. ???
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TPUNK!!!!!

I have also been watching one of those home improvement shows over the past few days
(it comes on while I am digesting my can) it is called "Save my Bath" a designer and crew come in and help dome homeowners redo their bath, though from what I understand teh homeowners foor the bill... and what bills! $20,000 $25,000 $30,000 to redo a bathroom!
Now some of the bathrooms turn out GAWJUS as PennyO would say, but really do you need to spend that much money on a 5 x 12 foot space?!
For $30,000 I could redo the entire first floor of my house...of course I wouldn't be buying the tub with the built in "therapy colored lighting" and I wouldn't have spray nozzles from head to foot in the shower and my tile would not be imported from Italy and handpainted by a grand master
Guess I am just cheap.
-
TOD:
There is a little family run Cafe in the Village of Babylon on the South Shore of the Island of Long called "Tricia's Cafe"
They make the absolute best homemade sweet potato fries which they serve with a hot homemade maple/brown sugar dipping sauce... so good!
-
No, Vixmom, you are being sensible.
Something the creators of these television extravaganzas don't need to be.
Ever.
-
I wonder if I can get the "Save My Bath" people to do my bathroom. All I want them to do is repaper it and replace two or three cracked tiles. That should cost about $300--400 tops?
-
As for a "piece of Mahler's"...
I've just always wondered if that flute lick that follows "and one for Mahler" is from a piece of Mahler's. ???
-
No AMERICAN IDOL for me at least until the Hollywood rounds. This is exactly how I did it last year (though I did watch the audition round held in Charleston, SC since I'm a native of SC and have been to Charleston many times). I'm going to be curious to see how Paula reacts to another female on the panel over the course of the season.
I would suspect that her and paula would get along well. They have been friends for a long time.
I am definitely going to watch IDOL, although i often ff thru the bad performances.
Hollywood is my favorite round. And i like to see which contestants in Hollywood were featured during the auditions.
-
I was very dozy yesterday - I kept falling asleep in the recliner and then ended up going to bed by 10 PM and slept through until 6 - (well I did wake up once for a drink of ice water)
This morning I fell asleep for another 2 hours after having my first can of the day

Even though during her speech it did not necessarily sound like Tina Fey was naming off her real internet foes, i still love it that she reads the internet.
And i agree with DR RonP, i think it was funny that tina named people by name. And i also agree that some people use anonymity to say really nasty things. Whether they like her or not there is no need to be cruel.

The new judge, Kara DioGuardi, was on Letterman last night. She seemed very kind, like a non-loopy Paula Abdul. I'm just wondering if her addition to the panel will mean that Simon will be, can be a bit more bitchy, mean-spirited and "real" this season. ;)

LOL. Many years ago , back when Bob Vila was still doing "This Old House" he was making a personal appearance at a local tool show which Vixdad and I attended.
I wnet up to him and asked if they ever considered doing 'This Regular Person's House" with appliances and wallpaper and tiling from Sears or Home Depot. I said the projects were womderful but the cost of renovating one or two rooms was often more than the price of an average person's home.
He looked at me like I had 2 heads and said something along the lines of. "Thanks for watching "

Won't get to get any writing done pre lunch meeting, but after Lauren I shall write like the wind. Fortunately, I thought of the next chapter whilst running, and I know how the current chapter ends - I should finish that today, and get three or four pages into the new one.

My first thought is that some enterprising young reporter found a way to watch porn on company time and not get smacked on the wrists. "Hey, I'll tell them it's research for a story. Yeah, that's the ticket!"
Are any of the titles part of Elmore's library?

I saw it. It was definitely interesting.
She was very condescending to Barbara Walters. I'm glad the other women said something.
I do get why she (ann) wanted to respond. But she just had such a snarky attitude.

For a while, Burger King was touting how their fries were the best-tasting over McDonald's and I definitely preferred them. I think it had to do with coating them with something before they were fried. But at some point during the past five years, they changed the recipe again and they tasted blander. I know prefer McD's.

I am thinking about exercising.

My good deed yesterday was taking all of the copies of Coulter's new book and hiding them behind other titles in our book section.
That's much nicer than my friend's approach of sticking a piece of chewing gum between the pages.

POST 11111!
Congrats to DR Vixmon on Post #31!

Vixmom is allowed to whine.

Back from a nice lunch with a friend. And now awaiting arrival of Lauren, after which I shall do an errand and then get down to writing.

Dr Phil's show just pissed me off by promoting two idiot "homo-no mo-saving your child from homosexuality" psychologists to give a mother hell for encouraging her son's wish to become transgendered. Pisses me off for promoting such assholes calling themselves child psychologists and writing swill like this:

As for the Topic of the Day...
French Fries:
For fast food: The "original" McDonald's French Fries - before they changed the formula - twice! I like the Burger King ones, but they tend to lose a lot of their of their appeal as they cool down. The McD's fries were always good until they were stone cold. -And the "little crunchies" are still the best! *And, yes, both BK and Hardee's "treated" their fries with sugar/corn syrup.
Oh... And I guess the curly fries from Arby's - although, I usually get their potato cakes. And the waffle fries from Chik-fil-A.
The whole Boardwalk Fries - whether in brand or style - thing is OK, but they do tend to be more on the "soft" side - which, at times can be good. The fried fish place in my 'hood has "boardwalk Restaurant/sit-down:
Joe's Inn in Richmond always has great shoestring fries. Another Richmond standby, The Village, also has great fries - there were always rumors that they would give them a very light spritz with beer right after they took them out of the fryer, and right before they seasoned them.
I like the crinkle cut fries at Shake Shack in NYC, but I'm not a fanatic about them like some people are. -Heck, they are basic food service supplied, frozen crinkle cut fries.
And when the kitchen at the Renaissance Diner in NYC is on their game, their sweet potato fries served with a dusting of confectioner's sugar and a bowl of maple/pancake syrup... YUM!!!
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
French Fries:
Oh... And I guess the curly fries from Arby's - although, I usually get their potato cakes. And the waffle fries from Chik-fil-A.
I thought I had something wrong in my french fry post. This is what I meant to say about curly fries and Chik-fil-A.
-
As for the Topic of the Day - Part 2 - The Onion Rings Edition...
Fast Food: Popeye's!!! It's just too bad that they're an occasional "special menu item" nowadays, rather than on the regular menu. It was always worth the extra charge and the wait time for them to come up.
Restaurant/sit-down: The aforementioned Joe's Inn and The Village in Richmond have great onion rings - usually a meal unto themselves.
Most steakhouses tend to do the giant onion ring thing very well: Shula's, Morton's, etc. However, I think my favorites are still the one from the District Chop House & Brewery in DC. -Which, as I just found out (thanks to Google) is part of the Rock Bottom Restaurant family of restaurants.
-
DR RLP - Nope. I was sitting here quietly at work. :)
But....DR JoseSPiano posted a link to a video of it yesterday!
Of "The View"? - which I didn't. Or of DR singdaw at work? -which I may have. ;)

I was wundrin' about that too. In fact, since there's a Chik-fil-A just a mile from here, I was about to go see if they had added curly fries to their menu. All in the name of fact-checking and research, ya' know. ;)

Yet another study about the benefits of a good night's sleep:
Susceptibility to Colds Linked to a Lack of Sleep (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/14/health/13sleep.html?partner=permalink&exprod=permalink)
*It's been interesting reading the reactions from medical residents to this study since they have no choice during residency to have anything but "bad" sleep patterns.

Since I know what DR MattH is most likely doing at present, I wonder what DVD he's watching/reviewing.

MIL update...
Yesterday my FIL also "fell out" so Greg took care of him and took him home to spend the night. He has been pretty much living at the hospital and very sleep deprived so he slept very well in his own bed.
MIL had another episode yesterday which took her to the ER and the decision was made to install a pacemaker. She is out of surgery now and in ICU. We visited her as soon as they let us and now we are waiting until we're allowed to visit a little more. Greg will probably go home with his dad again tonight. I feel really lucky that he didn't have any jobs booked early this week.
Thank you all for the continued vibes---as you can see, we still need them!
And the hospital does not seem to like HHW---it took me hours to get on!

I forgot to comment on the TOD earlier.
Best french fries I've ever had were at Sizzlin' Steakhouses that used to be all over Charlotte. There are none left now, but I've never had anything like those fries. Sliced into long, thick slices with the skin still on and fried to a golden brown, they were enough for a meal even without having a steak. Don't know where they found so many potatoes that big which could produce slices that thick and long.
Best onion rings were at a restaurant I took Jose to when he and I had dinner together a couple of years ago - The Landmark, a favorite after hours restaurant/diner for the theater crowd. I didn't have any the night he and I were there, but have had them many times with casts of various shows after a performance.

I spent most of the afternoon with NATIONAL LAMPOON'S STONED AGE. Allegedly the title was changed from HOMO ERECTUS because video stores complained to Paramount that it sounded like gay porn and didn't want to stock it, so they changed it.
Under whatever title you want to give it, it's AWFUL. I didn't even crack a smile during the entire 88 minutes. And wonderful names in the cast: Talia Shire, Gary Busey, David Carradine, Ali Larter, but this thing is just pathetic. Ugh!
-
I managed to watch all of the bonus features, too. Lots of topless babes and stoner "humor" but nothing of much interest. As lame as the movie they're being paired with.
-
Having the house to myself, I've decided to "veg" today. After doing a banking/post office errand, I ate lunch and watched Notes on a Scandal on DVD. Now, I'm watching Oprah chat with Kate, Leo, etc.
-
I did watch Monday's AS THE WORLD TURNS for the momentous biblical coupling of Luke and Noah (done off camera, however). Now that all that angst is behind them, I'm curious to see what stories they come up with for the couple.
-
This also means I'm going to have an evening free to watch something fun before prime time TV starts. Haven't thought about what it might be, but I'd love something in high def.

Ah...maybe that's what it is.
I usually only get sick once a year, but I have now had this sinus thingy twice in one month. The first time when my dad was in the hospital, and now with my MIL in the hospital. Maybe I am allergic to hospitals?

I'm back from a quick walk across the street to the Lake....whereupon I saw a raft of ducks.
I looked up in hopes of seeing an exaltation of larks, but, alas, 'twasn't to be. There were several skeins of geese on the opposite shore, however, so I contented myself with the status quo.
On my return, a homeless man greeted me with a squall of farts.
How very rude, too.

Good morning, all! The things I miss when I sign off: I see that DR FJL is heading into a recording studio to skewer Mr Piven and DR cillaliz has joined the anti-Tina Fey groupies for her dead-center brilliant twist on a Baked Alaskan, now that the object of my scorn has denounced Ms Fey to the press for doing her job too well. The coven is in an uproar, I guess, and good for Ms Fey to fight back. What a busy night!
That sets me wondering: have any other nominees in the past pissed and moaned publicly about how comic impersonators have destroyed their bid for 30 minutes of fame?
I am up bright and early to head to Toyland; I forgot to check something in the Act One edits and I need to do it today before I get deeper into Act Two. After that, back to Frank Loesser.
Actually DR Elmore, you are wrong. I've never liked Tina Fey. The politics is way beyond the point.

Biggest joke of the day - The President's award to John Howard - known throughout the land for his lack of compassion and his clinging on to values belong to colonialism at its worst.
This is the man who is denial about the wrong done to our indiginous people and their need to have an apology before they can move on. The man who locked up the innocent children of illegal immigrants for months and years. (all illegal immigrants fleeing another country to come to "freedom" must be terrorists of course). The man who blindly followed Dubya everywhere like a lap dog.
Let's hope the world had moved on and "hope" for humanity is part of our lives.

And when I got to Chik-fil-A, the place was packed! There was truly no place to sit. Every table was taken, every chair spoken for. And it was all families, which was very nice to see.
Then I noticed the "Kids Eat Free Tuesday Nights from 5:00pm-8:00pm" sign. Ah! -Each kid got a free Kid's Combo Meal with each Adult Combo Meal purchased. But still, it was very cool to see all those families eating together, and it seemed that most of the families and kids knew each other too.
*Although, I think the trade-off for the parents was that all the kids also seemed to be having desserts: ice cream cups, ice cream cones, shakes and/or brownies - which are not included in the "free" part of the deal. ;)

How strange! My next novel is THE FRUIT LICK. It is set in a San Francisco steam bath.

{{{{HUGS}}}} and ~~~VIBES~~~ to DR vixmom
-
DR Vixmom - sorry "they" were so right. Vibes for your throat and voice!
I am afraid I am feeling a little bit sorry for myself today - I think I will go lie down for a while and see if a little nap will restore my spirits
SPIRIT VIBES FOR DR VIXMOM!
You have been braver than I could ever be. Indulge in a little self pity, you have the right.
THROAT & ALL AROUND FEEL BETTER VIBES!!
-
Well DR TCB - all of his close friends called him Herbert.....so of course that's how I refer to him.
-
Job vibes for Craig....
Good news from DR LAURA @ her sister.
-
The temperature is in the single digits here.....and the wind chill makes it feel BELOW zero.
I just watched THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY again....first time in UP convert. Jan Sterling certainly gave an outstanding performance.
-
Than you DRs DAW, Ginny, & JRand.
It is difficult to comprehend he hasn’t found a good job. He is bright, ethical, a hard worker & a very likable person. I know, I’m his mother but others have always said the same to me.
-
I do like the Bloomin' Onion at Outback... but not as much as I love their coconut shrimp
(which I had to be persuaded to try as they sounded awful when described)
Which is where we dined tonight. And we had their coconut shrimp.
Coincidence? I think not!
;)

I just found out something that DR Edi may find interesting -
AMC will be airing The Prisoner sometime this spring.
Not the original. A remake, starring James Caviezel as Six and Ian McKellan as Two, filmed in South Africa.
This could be... informative?

Der Brucer is watching American Yodel. I am already sick of it.
Laters, all.

Thank you, and VIBES TO DR KERRY!!

I am watching THE MENTALIST episode....I think I spotted the killer already....time will tell.
-
DR Cillaliz - glad you made it home safely through yet another bout of bad weather.
Thanks DR Daw. it wasn't bad tonight, just snow and wind.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TPUNK!
-
Cold & windy here in SW Ohio tonight, too. Snow's comin' tomorrow!

The cats crack me up whe I'm on the treadmill. Last time Callie jumped on and shot off the back...I had slowed way down and tried to tell her not to jump...it was pretty funny. Tonight Boo just kept running around meowing. When I was done I picked her up and now that I'm upstairs she's curled up and sleeping on my lap.
-
VIBES TO EDI'S MIL and FIL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
LOL! Was Boo running on the treadmill with you? Or just running around the room? Poor Callie!
-
Hmm... I guess making "American Idol" a bit more kinder and gentler has also made it a bit boring.

LOL! Was Boo running on the treadmill with you? Or just running around the room? Poor Callie!
Callie was ok, I was really worried. She jumped on the very back and just went about four inches and right off. She landed on her feet, but it really scared her. I said "NO!" about 10 times when she was going to jump. I decided to slow it way down but not stop it so she won't do it in the future when I'm going fast. She almost did it again tonight but changed her mind.
Boo was running around the room. I don't think she's interested in running on the treadmill.
-
Smart Boo. :) Who knows though, dogs use the treadmill. Maybe Callie will begin a new trend.
-
One for cats!

Nice posters DR JOSE....especially the one for the Bill Murray movie.
Now I think I will watch the new episode of Rick & Steve.

Instead of killing all the rabbits, mice and rats why don't they just reintroduce cats?

Oh just saw a promo for the new Life on Mars starting January 28..can't wait

I have never been to a Chik-a-Fil
They are one of Greg's best clients; truly a great organization as far as the way they treat their employees and the employees' resultant attitudes. Greg's father worked for them in one of his first jobs, when the owner, Truett Cathy, had a restaurant called "The Dwarf House".

I don't think I want to watch it. I like my memories of the original.
Now I'm in the mood to watch SECRET AGENT MAN.

No, LOL! Maybe I should encourage Callie to walk, she could lose a little weight. (She's much healthier than she was last year)
-
Oh, no...this was actually the one I was trying to find. Cats on treadmills...

Thanks to everyone for the vibes. Greg was very touched that so many of our Hainsies were sending good thoughts to his parents.
They installed a pacemaker for his mom today, and since Greg took his dad home last night and he couldn't leave, he was forced to stay and get some sleep. He is with his dad tonight as well, so I hope he will continue to get good sleep. I was at the ICU for over 12 hours so I'm glad to be home, snuggled in with kitties.
-

They are both good, that one is funnier. If Callie tries again, I may just get off and slow it way down and see what she does. She's always been very interested in it.
-
Glad you are home with your kitties, DR Edi, hope you can get some rest tonight
-
I saw this treadmill video and thought the same thing---3 of our cats need to lose weight. The 4th will probably always be small; she was a stray and probably will always be small. I'd love to see what they would do with a treadmill!
-
I'm drinking theraflu so I should probably sleep well!
-
Open a new window, open a new daw
-

I'm going to be drinking some Theraflu....this danged bronchial cold has moved up into my head. YUCK!
-
That's all i have to say right now
-
Open a new window, open a new daw
When you open a new daw, does it sing?
-
Vixmom---I still have your bell, I just haven't been able to get to the post office to mail it! But, tomorrow...
-
DR Edi thank you for the laughs & smiles. I'm so pleased things are looking up for for your family. Sleep well.
'night
-
I think it's rather awd that Singdaw has a new name!
-
If I behave myself.
Are you afraid someone at work will see your "singdaw" totals?
"singdaw" is an HHW phenom....why chuck all that?
;)
Besides, you'll be back at 18,000 20,000 in less than a year!
-
I'm home from Austin...and very tired.
Going to bed early.
BTW: As of yesterday, our house has insulation.
:)
'Night all.
-
Glad you and Sandy are home safely, sleep well, DR Druxy

Sleep well, Health and any other vibes you need to everyone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And here's Max, Mabel & Minnie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uuqXXT7VYo).*
*As seen on "Good Morning America" and "Ellen". :)

This Bush press conference is so...weird!

Both of those are very funny! Thanks for posting them! :D

I'm sure Ebonie will now want her own treadmill!

Had such an entertaining evening watching fun things.
I began with MEN IN BLACK on Blu-ray disc. Very impressive looking, and the Dolby TrueHD sound was quite stunning. I hadn't seen the film in probably ten years, so it was nice to revisit it. I never have seen the sequel.
-
Next, I put in KISS ME KATE and watched through the reprise of "I Hate Men." If they had only done a proper widescreen, anamorphic transfer, it would be perfection.
-
NCIS had a not-so-interesting episode that featured Ducky in a dramatic situation. It was OK, but not much mystery to it. It did provide David McCallum with a meatier acting challenge than the usual episode.
-
THE MENTALIST, on the other hand, was a VERY entertaining episode with its mix of flip, hip tricks and genuine drama. I love it when Patrick uses his "mentalist" skills throughout the episode, and he did here to terrific effect.
-
And then I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing today but interesting previews for tomorrow, likely Brian's last episode for awhile, much to my dismay.
-
I'm sure Ebonie will now want her own treadmill!
No. ;)
I was actually thinking about my sister and niece. They have a treadmill and three cats. I don't think Casper (the oldest...he'll be 13 this summer!) will have anything to do with it, but the two girls (Elphaba and Nessarose...yes, my niece loves the book and musical Wicked; they'll be 2 this year) might be willing.
-
Hey! I just noticed something when I was typing and previewing my last post:
Wicked (the underline is green)
and:
Wicked ... the underline is NOT green!
Interesting. 8)

Well, it's time for me to head home and see what's on the DVR.
Until later!

Well, it looks like I'm going to spend tomorrow in DC and NoVA, so...
Goodnight.

I wrote another couple of pages but might write one more before going to bed. I have also watched a horrible mind-numbing motion picture on DVD, but said film shows that SD DVD can still look and sound absolutely stellar. I had a foot-long Spicy Eyetalian Subway sandwich - it's my new fave.

Where is everybody? Isn't it only 9:25 on the West Coast?

Ooh, post 13250

Sorry, all, I've had trouble keeping up with posts these last two days
Toby's fever went back up this evening after being totally gone all day. He also started coughing more and more, and wheezing a bit. Since I knew his prematurity makes him more susceptible to respiratory-type stuff, I decided it was time to bundle him off to Urgent Care. After doing chest x-rays to rule out pneumonia, they diagnosed him with bronchiolitis. Basically a viral form of bronchitis. Since it's viral, there's not much they can do, but they did give him a dose of cortisone to help the inflammation, and it really seemed to help. So he's home again tomorrow, poor baby. He's zonked out in my lap now, and we'll be headed for bed soon.
-
I'm here, I'm here.
-
The question is will I achieve my new plateau at some point tomorrow?
-
I think the only thing on my calendar tomorrow is a breakfast meeting at eleven. I'll try to jog prior to it, so that when I get home I can really do the next six pages and then have the late afternoon and evening all to my very own self.
-
I'm posting,
What I am is posting
Posting is the thing I like to do
Errant
Many people errant
And they have apparently no clew
Posts
That is what we need
Or I'll have to bitch-slap you
You know that is my creed
So I'm happy
Happy to be posting
It's the way I'm spending all my time (yes, I'm posting)
And it's just the kind of BK I'm.
