Great news from OZ and big hug to DR Tomovoz! I hope the heat lets up there, though.

I hope he won't mind me posting it, it's just so cute I had to share!
I think the koala would look good with an Aretha hat!

Safe driving in snow vibes to Ant. I guess it will get him in practice for Wisconsin!

Good morning, all! I have a ton of things to schlep down to Toyland before my taxes at 11, so in about 30 minutes I'll call a car service and head on down there.

I'm stuck here waiting for the car service to have an available driver, so I can't call back for 10 minutes. If i'd called when I first posted, the jerks would have probably said there would be a car at my door in two minutes and, of course, I wouldn't be ready. Damn!

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm heading to Memphis!

Best restaurant meal experience would be at the California Grill in Disney World. (But then I've never experienced the fancy restaurant at the Floridian hotel at Disney World).
-
TOD:
Within the past few years, it would definitely be a dinner I had at The Homestead (http://www.homesteadinn.com/hs/home.htm) in Greenwich, CT.
It has an old money, country inn feel. Dinner runs up to $150.00 per person, and I don't think that includes wine. I started with an exquisite split pea soup, followed by beef medallions, and had a molten chocolate souffle for dessert. Yum! Oh, and the service was top-notch, also. :)
-
Thursday morning greetings! Another sunny day here in SW Ohio, which makes the snow glisten. Perfect for errands like grocery shopping and going to the bank to pay off my car. This evening Richard and I are going to the Miami University campus in Hamilton to hear a lecture about James and Dolley Madison.
-

TODAY IN THEATRE HISTORY...
It's the 50th anniversary of the opening of REDHEAD at what was then called the 46th Street Theatre.

DR JMK - Inner City is on its way to you....the LP is in two tracks only, but I sent along a track list for each side and typed out the liner notes......
DR MATTHEW if you PM your snail mail address to DR JMK, I am sure he will send the split track version along to you.
DR ELMORE - at last Miss Dorothy is in the mail to you. It's a fun album that never STOPS!!! I also included an album that will take you back to the Empire Room in the Waldorf-Astoria in 1960. A fine singer, although not in particularly good voice the night the album was recorded....or so it seems.
So put on your tux and pour yourself a martini and enjoy....Gisele MacKenzie at the Empire Room. She certainly needed MR BK to put her show together, that's for sure.

TOD:
Seafood Picasso at a restaurant in Baltimore whose name I do not know. It was wonderful!

Gazelles are gentle creatures hunted by the fastest animal on earth, the cheetah. With the cheetah being so fast, you would think the gazelle would be extinct. However they've learned that the cheetah is only the fastest animal on earth while running in a straight line. So when being chased, the gazelle bobs and weaves and runs in circles until the cheetah gets tired and gives up.
It's time to think like a gazelle.

I had A Lobster Dish That was Pure Heaven

Many years ago, I had a dear friend who was a caterer, and he wanted to add Oriental cuisine to his customer menu. So, he studied up, did some trial and error, and then invited about six of his closest friends to his home for an Oriental meal. He had decorated his enormous living room into a Japanese tea garden. We were asked to come in Oriental garb.
Needless to say, it was one of the grandest nights of my adult life. The house was a dream in the making, everyone had outdone themselves with outfits (more like costumes), and the eight course meal was to die for.
-
TOD: I am certain it was not the Chicken Failure I prepared the other night.
-
Unless MADAGASCAR 2 comes in the mail today (drat Dreamworks Animation for always waiting until the last minute to send out review copies; same thing happened with KUNG FU PANDA), I'll start work on FRIDAY THE 13TH - THE SERIES, Season 2. There are six discs in the set, so I expect it will take me a good three days to watch all of the episodes.
-
DR Elmore!!!
Don't forget about BURN NOTICE tonight!!!

Is Burn Notice on tonight?

the Chicken Failure I prepared the other night.
What, no recipe? ;)

Well, waddaya know...
I just popped the first ALLEGRO disc into my PC and this time iTunes shows all the track data. So, it must be like DR Jose suggested--the discs have some minimal digital identifier that is recognized by iTunes (or whatever it is that Windows Media Player uses as it's source.) But if the track info is not in the iTunes database, nothing will show up locally.
The question is--who enters the track data for iTunes. I do recall when using Windows Media Player that it occasionally asked me if I wanted to submit my information to their central database but I've never seen that for iTunes. Just curious...
-
It ain't me.

I have had many great meals in my day, and it would be most difficult to pick a single best...but here are some of the best...any meal I have had at the Al-Karawi home where I tend to stuff myself silly because everything is soooooo delicious!....both meals that I have had at DR FJL's home, his hubby is rather handy in the kitchen!...a meal at a very fancy restaurant in Tokyo, had blackened mud-fish which cost me about $65.00US...and worth every delectable yen!

Hello, everyone.
continued vibes to Vixmom, Laura's DS, Tomovoz, and DC Bailey (and anyone I inadvertently overlooked)!
-
Today I will be seeing my old friend Dave, who is a retired optometrist, as well as being one of the World's Nicest People. We will discuss my vision problems, among other things. I've now had three eye exams and we're still trying to figure out why I don't see properly with my new glasses.
-
May I say again that I am AMAZED at how quickly Bruce can turn out a novel? Good for you, Bruce!
-
Re Vixmom's timeshare woes: sometimes playing on someone's guilt can be very effective! My God, Debra, here you are, recovering from cancer, unable to speak--surely that should provide some mileage. You're too brave to lean that way, I suspect, but perhaps someone else can do that for you. In any case, my best that you win!
-
Great news from OZ and big hug to DR Tomovoz! I hope the heat lets up there, though.
Tom, my little French boy was there over New Years and loved it, but said it was quite hot then, too.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff302/HHWgroup/KobaPY.jpg)
So who's the one on the right?
-
Is Burn Notice on tonight?
I'm not sure. Check your local listings. (As if you watch TV.)
-
DR JRand,
I received your package, and thank you so much! Now to find some time to watch it!

I must head down now to get cleaned up for lunch out with friends. Will really have to bundle up today. It's COLD out there.

That is VERY true......but DR JMK is a computer genius and I know he can handle the task. I sent along the times of the tracks, so that might help.....
I am quite facile at digital manipulation of wave and other soundfiles. I did a horrendous job years ago for a nutty teacher who had written "scientific" lyrics (none of which scanned correctly, but that's another story) for folktunes. I've shut them all out of my mind now, but it was stuff like "photosynthesis" to the tune of "Clementine" (you try to make it fit, LOL). Anyhoo, she had a bunch of 6-7 year olds record them, and they of course couldn't get through a take without a mistake. So I had raw WAV files of sometimes up to 13 or 14 takes that I had to stitch together, sometimes literally taking the first syllable of a word and merging with the second, etc. Even I was impressed with how flawless it sounded by the time I was through.
And, oh--did I get any credit for it? No, of course not. She gave numerous press interviews and "forgot" to mention either me (who had done all the arrangements and played/sequenced, etc.) or the recording engineer.

I was not happy with the results from last night's show. Come on after
last week. And now this. It's weird because she was not one of my favorites
(her personality just rubbed me slightly the wrong way). But it was clear
she was one of the better contestants. I just don't get why certain people
are still there. That said, i did enjoy the episode. But i'm not happy with
them basing the boot solely on one dish. At least my 2 favs (the europeans)

Good morning, good day, how are you this beautiful day? I am up. It's a tiny bit overcast right now, but that should burn off. I'm hoping my grogginess burns off, too.

Are they progressive lenses?
GOOD LUCK YOU FIGURE THIS OUT!
I've been there several times & it isn't fun. The first eye doctor when we moved here decided I had an astigmatism. I never did that pair of lenses to work comfortably. When I switched doctors one of the first things he asked was why my lenses were for an astigmatism that I didn't have.

Margaret Thatcher's illegitimate mixed race child Rebecca has emailed me, offering to deposit several million pounds into my American bank account as soon as she perishes from cancer.

I "ordered" him from NACEL when he was in high school: http://www.nacelopendoor.org/
This year he's turning 40!! And we may try to go to France to help celebrate that fact!

DR Laura I hope each treatment doesn't continue to be more difficult. Most of all I hope they continue as planned and do the trick!

Thanks, everyone, for the vibes and prayers for my sister. Her next-door neighbor is also having chemo treatments; they were diagnosed the same week.
-
Kerry, they say we may have rain tomorrow, but I don't have a headache. Is your ankle predicting rain?
-
That seems like an odd coincidence. Are they different types & treatments?
-
DR Swishy the loss of your young friends, and I consider Jean young, is so very sad. To die so needlessly in such a manner just isn’t right.
When I was your age I lost friends & family to drugs. In my teens I almost lost my mother a number of times to drugs, it was very painful. I don’t think there is any special advice you need to give to your friends, just let them know you are there to listen anytime they want. Often people don’t want to listen so the grieving stop talking.

Not so far! It's early in the day yet, though.

The neighbor has breast cancer. My sister has something else.

DR JMK are you making that one up? ;D
Well her "name" is Rebecca Thatcher and she is "dying" of "cancer." I may have extrapolated the rest of the information from that precis. ;D

That's the sorrowful precis-
It's very messy-

Interesting discovery...I took one of the DVDs we acquired in England that come free in several of the Sunday Papers and put it in my computer. It brought up a message box, "This DVD is region 2, your DVD player is set on region 1, would you like to switch over?" I clicked on yes and it gave me an array of options that basically allow me to play any DVD from any country. So I've had an all-region DVD player in my computer all this time!

Some of you in certain parts of the country may appreciate a New Yorker cartoon from a few days ago showing two guys walking down the street their scarves and overcoats blowing in the wind.
The caption: "Long term I'm worried about global warming-- short term, about freezing my ass off."

Actually, be careful and check the fine print--some OS's come with a finite (and small) number of changes you can switch to before your last switch becomes permanent.

Be careful. Did it say anywhere about the number of times you can change the region. Usually on most computers you can set the drive for any region but you are only allowed to do that 5 times. Once you reach the limit the last region you set becomes the only region though, it doesn't say that anywhere but in small print probably in a manual. Here are three Web sites (including one from Microsoft) which talk about this issue.

DR JMK - I am uploading INNER CITY at File Factory and DR MATTHEW may download it from there, I will let you know if that works. If it does, then you can just enjoy your copy....although I must say I didn't enjoy it while I was downloading it.

DR MATTH - I have my fingers crossed that the DVD plays on your system.

And DR MBARNUM can spend a WEEKEND IN HAVANA.....what a fun movie!!!
I forgot to ask....what did Jill Jarmyn have to say?

Thursday morning greetings! Another sunny day here in SW Ohio, which makes the snow glisten. Perfect for errands like grocery shopping and going to the bank to pay off my car. This evening Richard and I are going to the Miami University campus in Hamilton to hear a lecture about James and Dolley Madison.
What - no rally to support Dayton's prostitute out-reach program?
STIMULUS PROGRAM (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=aQm7lg5AzKjg&refer=us)
Some projects, such as Dayton’s, have nothing to do with physical improvements or job creation. The city is asking for $1.5 million to provide emergency shelter and educational programs to prostitutes, according to the mayors’ group.

I've done about five pages, but must make an important decision before going further - I'm just waffling on a plot point and I have to decide and then that will be that. So, I'll take a little break to clear my head.
-
What a weird day, weather-wise. When I got up the sun was out and it was just a little overcast. Then it was completely overcast, then it rained for ten minutes, and now it's just gray out with occasional peeks of sun.
-
Whatever shall I eat?
-
I guess I'll go to the mail place - I should have several packages today.
-
And I have to mail several things, including one Express Mail package, which I'll do later this afternoon.
-
DR JMK are you making that one up? ;D
Well her "name" is Rebecca Thatcher and she is "dying" of "cancer." I may have extrapolated the rest of the information from that precis. ;D
;D
-
Well, I was pleased that MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA arrived today (paired with THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR). I thus put FRIDAY THE 13th - THE SERIES, Season 2 on hold until tomorrow.
-
DR Elmore!!!
Don't forget about BURN NOTICE tonight!!!
Thank you, DR Matt H! I needed that.
Well, I remembered that it slipped your mind the last two weeks, so that's why I singled you out. You were the one who turned me on to the show (forever grateful for that), so anything I can do to repay in kind....
-
I did spend the afternoon with the animated MADAGASCAR 2 film. It's a fun little romp, much in the style of the first with lots of hyper characters and booming background music. Most reviews I read said it was superior to the first film. I thought they were about the same in entertainment value though the cast is bigger in this one, and the animation is much more elaborate.
The DVD transfer is simply breathtaking: colorful, detailed, and upconverted looked very close to high def.
-
I also had time to get through all of the bonus features on the disc. 4 music videos, fairly brief documentaries about various facets of the production running anywhere from 2-11 minutes.
-
Well, I was pleased that MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA .....
You may not be so pleased once you start watching it.
-
Oh, you already watched it....never mind. I didn't care much for it, other then a few spots that I thought were pretty funny...the first film, I thought, was much better.
-
When I go back down, I'll do the other DVD: THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR which is a Nick cartoon series. Looks like there are two episodes on the disc plus some bonus features. Hopefully, I can finish it before UGLY BETTY comes on.
-
Oh, you already watched it....never mind. I didn't care much for it, other then a few spots that I thought were pretty funny...the first film, I thought, was much better.
I thought the penguins walked away with the first one. This one was more evenly balanced with interest in more than what the penguins were up to. I'd say I may have liked the second one marginally more than the first, but these Dreamworks films don't have the depth of feeling or intricacy in storytelling that the Pixar films have. The Nana character really got on my nerves.
-
Page Six Dance!!!
-
Margaret Thatcher's illegitimate mixed race child Rebecca has emailed me, offering to deposit several million pounds into my American bank account as soon as she perishes from cancer.
So she already has her mother's heart.
-
Good Afternoon!
Greetings from Memphis!
-
Last night we finally watched our saved episode of BURN NOTICE. This is such a great show, Keith's favorite marginally beating out THE CLOSER. It is now a tie with me.
We still have last weeks episodes of HOUSE & NIGHT RIDER to watch & this weeks LIFE.
Last night we also watched the NIGHT RIDER episode from two weeks ago. Surprisingly it was excellent & we hope it represents better scripts in the future. A number of the cast have been dropped this season leaving our four favorite characters, & it seems to be working. We had often said we wished the show focused more on these people.
-
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's off to work I go. . .
-
The flight in was smooth and uneventful. I even napped a bit. Once I landed at MEM, I went ahead and had lunch at the airport since I wasn't in the mood for Catfish Cabin (yet). -It's the only dining option near the hotel. So, I've already had a generous helping of the Neely's Interstate Bar-B-Que - pulled pork, cole slaw and beans.
The hotel is running shuttles to and from Beale Street today, so I'm pretty sure I'll be having some Gus' Fried Chicken for dinner. And then I might see a local production of THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA if I'm not in too much of a food coma by then. ;)
-
Oh! And I ended up sharing a row with E&T DR Joy on the plane ride down here.
*I'm just hoping Monkey wasn't too much of a bother. ;)
-
Jose lucky you getting a chance to see Joy.
-
I saw a cute Chow puppy while hiking today. He had a beautiful, luxurious black coat. It felt heavenly to run my hands through his fur. We passed him on the trail three times & stopped to visit. Sherlock was very good with him.
On the way home we stopped at the market & saw a neighbor pushing his little dog in the shopping cart. ;D

Last week's KNIGHT RIDER was supposed to be a reboot for the show, NBC's last ditch effort to rescue the show and capture a wider audience than it has so far commanded. So far, nothing seems to be working. It finished fourth in the time slot last night.
-
I'm going to hop off-line now and write up what I've watched so far today. Then, back down to finish off my work project for the day.

I'm off to reflect and dream of great meals since I have not hit the TOD yet today. It is so hard sometimes to separate wonderful food from just a wonderful gathering of people and possibly mediocre food. I have a tendency to look at the event as a whole rather than individual elements.

I keep forgetting to add some additional vibes to DR Tomovoz, so I am now doing so!
Just always remember that the good health vibes are there whether I post them or not!
-
Koalas Little French Boys for all! :)
I'll take one! ;D
-
Yeah, how come we haven't had more posts re topic of the day?
-
It's pouring rain. I had to go ship an important package - happily the post office wasn't crowded. Since the contract is signed and sealed, I guess I can reveal that the Kritzerland limited edition cast album (for you dear readers' ears ONLY) is Anya, The Musical Musical, with a score by Rachmaninov and Wright and Forrest, starring Constance Towers. Hoping the album master is in good shape - that's the only unknown at this point. The soundtrack, which will be released concurrently with Anya, I'm not quite ready to reveal yet, other than to say it's a major coup and it's from one of my all-time favorite 1960s films, one I wrote about not all that long ago, late last year. There are quite a few tapes on this title, including what looks like to be an album master for an album that was never released, plus session tapes, so we'll probably be able to have some nice bonus material.
-
I think I'll try to mush on and write a few more pages, although five isn't bad.
-
I had two tuna sandwiches for lunch.
-
Thanks, everyone, for the vibes and prayers for my sister. Her next-door neighbor is also having chemo treatments; they were diagnosed the same week.
~~~Vibes for DR Laura's Sister and Her Sister's Next-Door Neighbor!!~~~
-
Very cool news about ANYA, BK! I happened upon a copy of the LP years and years ago at a thrift store but it was so badly scratched that I didn't bother to buy it. I always regretted it because the only other copy I ever saw again was at a rare book store in Philly for $75.
Can't wait to order this one!
-
TOD - not sure I can answer that. Whether I have a great meal often depends on the company I'm with or how hungry I am or what mood I'm in. So, I don't really remember...

Waiting to hear if the files downloaded for DR MATTHEW....he must be at rehearsal.

Trying to decide if I want to go to MILK or wait for the DVD. Tonight is the last night it's here, so if I go it's got to be now.

Great news from OZ and big hug to DR Tomovoz! I hope the heat lets up there, though.
Tom, my little French boy was there over New Years and loved it, but said it was quite hot then, too.

T.O.D.
I am sure that I have told this story before, but back when I was a travel agent, SAS sent their top selling agency reps for a wonderful weekend in Denmark. The day we arrived we were driven out into the countryside, where we stayed in a 12th century castle (Yes, it was haunted). That evening we were served Babette's Feast. The food, the wine, the castle dining room all combined to make it an incredible evening.
-
I have had many great meals in my day, and it would be most difficult to pick a single best...but here are some of the best...any meal I have had at the Al-Karawi home where I tend to stuff myself silly because everything is soooooo delicious!....both meals that I have had at DR FJL's home, his hubby is rather handy in the kitchen!...a meal at a very fancy restaurant in Tokyo, had blackened mud-fish which cost me about $65.00US...and worth every delectable yen!
Was it supposed to be blackened, or did they just forget to wash it?
-
It was crisply blackened from snout to tail.

-
Do I get a sparkling prize for correctly guessing the new Kritzerland release? Like, f'rinstance, a copy of the new Kritzerland release? ;)
Can't wait to hear what the soundtrack is.
-
Ooooh, oooh! I'm going to guess--it's something I mentioned before, but BK said FSM had UA sewn up. However, ANYA was a UA release, so hopefully the soundtrack will be the most delicious Fred Karlin score for UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE.
-
George, are you going to come see GLORIOUS?
I'd love to! I just have to figure out when I can go. :)

I've written eight pages and am done for the evening, I think. I'm now listening to CDs. I suppose I'll watch a motion picture later tonight, but I have no idea what.

So our four LACCTAA events are, I think, booked - one of them is still tentative because we're still trying to work out the date and time so it works for everyone. They are:
An Afternoon with David Lee (creator of Frazier)
A Cabaret/Singer workshop with me (in conjunction with Cabaret West)
An Afternoon With Jeff Greenberg (casting director for Frazier, Eli Stone, Ugly Betty - he, of course, got his SAG card by appearing in The First Nudie Musical).
Our final event for the first half of the year would be An Afternoon With Jason Robert Brown and Georgia Stitt. That's the one that's iffy right now - trying desperately to work out the details - they want to do it but are really busy, so the window is very strict in terms of the date and time. We shall see. But I'm very pleased with the events.

DR edisaurus - Your "little French boy" is not so petit. And très chaud!

Ha Ha, DR Jose! We are probably the only people who know they have the same carpet!

And speaking of line-ups...
I just got the newsletter for the upcoming SETC (http://setc.org) conference in Birmingham, AL. The three keynote speakers this year are:
Casting Director, David Shaul
Tony-Award Winning Actress, Beth Leavel
and
Tony-Award Winning Set Designer, Eugene Lee
If there was ever a year that I wish I could take a break from my piano-playing duties in order to attend the presentations, this would be it.
-
Ha Ha, DR Jose! We are probably the only people who know they have the same carpet!
SPOO!!!!
DR Laura - I just realized I cut and pasted the same link. -Sorry. See the corrected post above.
*However, the carpets in the walkways (I can't recall the proper name for them right now) were the same at both airports. Alas, since I did not want to get trampled, I was not able to take a pic of said carpets. ;)

Great shots. How about your hotel lobby?

As for the Topic of the Day...
The seven or eight (or nine?) course meal that Steve and I most thoroughly enjoyed at Victoria & Albert's in the Grand Floridian Resort in Disneyworld. I had snagged one of the Chef's Table seatings, and it was just Steve and I seated at a table with full access and view of the kitchen. Champagne started off the meal, and there were wine pairings served with each course too. And our four(!) desserts were accompanied by a coffee made at the table in vacuum pot.
I still have to souvenir menu from the evening, and I still need to post the complete menu one of these days.
*I've had the good fortune to have dined at Per Se in New York city twice. Even though those meals have been wonderful "events", I'm usually distracted by all the formality of the service - no matter how discreet and almost telepathic it is. I also tend to prefer a standard three or four course meal, not a tasting menu of 11-20 small plates.

I'm pacing myself.

Oy! Speaking of photos... I need to charge up my camera for Edith's wedding tomorrow. It may just be a civil ceremony at the courthouse, but there must be photos!! I'm so excited for her. I'm even going to wear a dress tomorrow!
-
Well, waddaya know...
I just popped the first ALLEGRO disc into my PC and this time iTunes shows all the track data. So, it must be like DR Jose suggested--the discs have some minimal digital identifier that is recognized by iTunes (or whatever it is that Windows Media Player uses as it's source.) But if the track info is not in the iTunes database, nothing will show up locally.
The question is--who enters the track data for iTunes. I do recall when using Windows Media Player that it occasionally asked me if I wanted to submit my information to their central database but I've never seen that for iTunes. Just curious...
iTunes and other services utilize the CDDB (Compact Disc Database) which is now owned by/called, Gracenote. For the most part, the track info is submitted by the record companies. However, some of the info is provided - and sometimes corrected - by "us".
There is a "Submit CD Track Names" under the Advanced menu - which actually seems to come in handy for some of those "open" bootlegs. Sometimes, you will be given an option or two or three when you insert a disc - "Please Select the Album". This happens semi-regularly with Classical albums, mainly due to different releases in different countries. -I have a few track names with their Japanese "translation".
For more info, just check out Gracenote (http://www.gracenote.com/).
*Some "Home Library" programs also pull their info from the listings on Amazon.

Best wishes to Edith and her new DH.

Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice (if you only watch one you will probably have to watch both since they are continuing the story tonight).
Not really. Almost not at all. In fact, it seems like a case of "Bait and Switch".

RE: Last night's "Top Chef"
I thought it could have gone either way in regards to whom was asked to pack their knives. And as for the one chef who was spared last night, well... You should read some of the comments from Spike and others on the Twitter feed. ;)
All in all, it was a great episode. Two great challenges, and they really tested each chef's palate and skills. It was also one of the more in-depth Chef's Table discussions - both during the meal, and during the judging panel.
*I also think that they've finally weeded out the chefs that "needed" to be weeded out. It really seems that the overall level of the chefs this season was not as high as in seasons past. However, now that we're down to the final rounds, it's really getting good.

Ok, where did I put my camera battery recharger? Edith said she considers the two days off with pay as her wedding present, but I want to try to get a really good photo or two or three and frame them for her. I know there won't be a photographer, and good gravy, you've got to have a wedding photo!
-
She has six total treatments. She will do three, then have a month of radiation, then the other three. She has had two so far.
When I first read this, I thought it was in reference to "Margaret Thatcher's illegitimate mixed race child"... ::)

Interesting discovery...I took one of the DVDs we acquired in England that come free in several of the Sunday Papers and put it in my computer. It brought up a message box, "This DVD is region 2, your DVD player is set on region 1, would you like to switch over?" I clicked on yes and it gave me an array of options that basically allow me to play any DVD from any country. So I've had an all-region DVD player in my computer all this time!
Umm... What everyone else already said. ;)

I posted the "Dog" variation yesterday. ;)

Perhaps I should have known him longer than 4 days before I married him :D

LOL. Indeed.

Had a very busy night of TV.
I began by finishing the last bonus feature on the MADAGASCAR 2 disc (it was a game).
Then I watched THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR. It's two segments from the Nick TV series. The first one called "Popcorn Panic" actually made me laugh and was very enjoyable. The second was about King Julien not understanding what a digital camera is, and it wasn't very good.
This disc also had several bonus features.

Page Nine Dance!!!

Oh, the plane crash years ago in Sioux City is on Nightline tonight. United Flight 232 and Captain Al Haynes. The plane that did the cartwheel. 184 people survived. He's a huge hero here. Apparently he and Sully had a conversation after the landing in the Hudson. Interesting....

I've mentioned this before about ANYA, but I'll never forget an episode of THE MIKE DOUGLAS SHOW. Lillian Gish was the co-host and one of the guests one day was one of the NY drama critics. I can't remember if it was John Simon or someone else, but she turned to him during the broadcast and chastised him for panning ANYA. "Why, " she asked, "Why did you destroy this lovely show and put so many people out of work?" The audience applauded her for a long time.
-
I had time before prime time TV started, so I watched last night's LAW & ORDER. Good case with the usual L&O twists especially at the end.
-
UGLY BETTY had some entertaining moments, but I knew Daniel was in for it when he chickened out and didn't tell Connor the truth. Connor looked very accomplished sparring in the ring like that, too.

DR George - I really, really like Pilobolus. -And I'm sort of kicking myself for not catching them during their recent engagement at The Joyce in NYC. I used to see them at the Kennedy Center regularly.
-
GREY'S ANATOMY was sort of up and down for me this week.
[sigh] Another lesbian for Callie (the third this season). Derek got the bedroom cleaned up very fast. But is this a turning point for Dr. Bailey in her career? That was very interesting.

ABC can do all the crossovers they want with PRIVATE PRACTICE. I'm not watching the show. Anything important that happens in that show will be recapped at the beginning of next week's GREY'S ANATOMY episode. (These two episodes are being repeated on Saturday night in case I change my mind and want to watch it.)
-
At 10 p.m., I watched tonight's BONES.
Pretty affecting episode, but I have to say I guessed the identity of the Grave Digger the second the character appeared on the screen.
-
Remember the great line from THE WIZ? (I'm paraphrasing the set-up)
Why didn't you tell her she could have gone home anytime she wanted to?
What? And put all these people out of work?

Re: Gracenote. I was Googling myself a few years ago (oh, like you haven't)--actually I was Googling a song of mine which was getting a little regional airplay yet I wasn't seeing a cent from ASCAP (long story), and discovered someone had uploaded track info to Gracenote, saying my song was part of a compilation CD I had never heard of. Now I knew I had never licensed it, and I emailed Gracenote and actually got a response from them, but of course they were clueless, too. I have assumed it was a homemade compilation. Still no ASCAP royalties, damn them, damn them to hell.

I'd say you didn't miss too much. The cross-over didn't happen until the very end and the story will pick up at Seattle Grace

Thanks, DR Cilla. I understand they're trying to build the popularity of PRIVATE PRACTICE, but I gave the show a chance last season, and I got fed up with it. It's TOO late to win me over now.

I'm heading downstairs to bed now.
Good night!

My roommates and I actually think the level of writing on "Private Practice" this season is (was?) better than the beginning of this season of "Grey's Anatomy". Mainly because there have been no "ghosts" on "Private Practice". ;) -Seriously, though, "Private Practice" has had some surprisingly emotional and moving episodes this season. I wasn't too "hot" on "Private Practice" either initially, but it seems the show has its stride now.

Well...
If you don't want to Cornify (http://www.cornify.com/) your website, you could always ADD BACON (http://bacolicio.us/http://www.haineshisway.com/) to it.

Ah, well, I guess no one sings or plays live anymore. Except for The Boss (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1604355/20090205/springsteen_bruce.jhtml).
*I had thought that Jennifer Hudson was lip-syncing on Super Bowl Sunday. I mean, the sound was just "too good" for a football stadium's sound set-up. But I still enjoyed her rendition. And it's been "fun" reading some of the comments then and now about her performance. It wasn't the first time she's sung the National Anthem in public.

I'm done viewing and just read through the eight pages I wrote today. I was worried I wouldn't like them, but they read okay to me.

It's been pouring rain for most of the day today.

Welcome seven GUESTS.

Well, I have #001-250 tomorrow, so...
Goodnight.

Good night, Jose. Rest your fingers!
