Yesterday, I ushered for a tour of the dance troupe, Pilobolus (http://www.pilobolus.com/).  In a word:  WOW!!  There were seven dancers and they did five "dances" and it was all incredible.  Check out their website and if you get a chance to see them live, DO! ;D

Video Player: Season One (and only) of Firefly.  Interesting storytelling, with a highly familiar cast, mainly familiar because so many of them were able to find work after cancellation.

Book:  Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: From the Secret Files of Harry Pennypacker.  The plastic surgeon and the recently excited horse?  Oh, Druxy!  LOL!!!

CD Player at Work:  A few Maucuri recordings (which I will be revisiting) and Twentieth-Century Blues: The Songs of Noel Coward (which I won't - I'd forgotten how everything about this recording is wrong wrong wrong  :P)

"Rentl" - the musical story of a young Jewish immigrant who disguises himself as a shicksa so he can get into a ladies-only boarding house, the only place he can afford... wait, didn't Tom Hanks already do this one?

Well, I am officially a bachelor for 11 weeks (with a weekend reprieve in March). Anthony left at 5:30 this morning with his new GPS unit attached to the dashboard and a car full of stuff. This time he plans on stopping, probably in Ohio, sometime around 2 or 3pm. Then he will drive to Chicago on Saturday and spend the day with his cousin and get to Wisconsin on Sunday.

Lots to do here at the office. I have no viewing or listening plans at the moment other than my usual BBC listening. At this very moment I'm listening to the 1920s Radio Network Live Stream.

Travel update: Mr. Morelli has made his first stop in Pennsylvania. The GPS unit works well and helped him stay on route once he got off the GW Bridge. At this rate he'll be in Ohio quickly. The drive through Pennsylvania is long but once he gets to OH it's quick. I told him to wave south to Ginny and Richard while driving through Ohio and the same for Jack when driving through Indiana.

TODAY IN THEATRE HISTORY...

Forty years ago tonight, DEAR WORLD opened at the Mark Hellinger.

I just noticed that the show had 45 preview performances--wasn't that a rather long period for a show at that time?  I knew that there was trouble but I never realized it lasted that long a time.

DR MattH re: the Grey's/ Private Practice cross-over.

Even though they implied it would be last night IT WAS NOT.  I don't watch Grey's but ff and there was only one call. And on Private Practice there was the same call.

The real cross-over will apparently be NEXT week. And it looks like much of Grey's Anatomy will feature addison.  Since they will be in Seattle i'm not sure exactly how that will work. The promo sort of made it seem like the 2 hours might just continue the story.  But i sort of suspect that Grey's Anatomy will have its regular storyline and then the addison storyline. And then Private Practice will either just continue there and have them go home. Or else addison's scenes will just be in seattle.

I won't say that Private Practice is my favorite show. But it's been pretty decent this year. The cast is excellent.

Well, I knew next week would be the major crossover between GREY'S/PRACTICE because it's featured on the cover of next week's TV GUIDE. I may HAVE to break down next week and record PRACTICE, but I'll decide then what I'm going to do. It might depend on how much of the story is left to tell.

I love all of the cast members of PRIVATE PRACTICE. They're all exceptionally talented and charismatic performers. But last season, with everyone so mopey about wanting love and needing love and the frustrations about that, it got old FAST. There weren't nearly enough patient story plots to suit me, and when everyone in a cast is jumping into bed with each other, there's nowhere to go unless you bring in more new staff for them to switch over to them. No thanks.

With so many episodes of FRIDAY THE 13th to get through this weekend, I doubt I'll get much else watched today and tonight (except I will record GHOST WHISPERER and watch it around 10.)

No thanks.

I actually thought (because of the promos) that the only cross-over was this week.

I'd say record Private Practice and then do what you said and see how much of the story is left. Like i said the promos are sort of vague. But they make it seem like the 2 hours could be extremly connected (like the first hour might just continue). Although i can't see Private Practice focusing totally on addison. So we shall see. i'm gonna record Grey's next week and just ff thru the parts that don't feature addison.

If the purpose is to get Grey's viewers to watch Private Practice then i would think they would have to spend some time showing the Private Practice characters (other than addison). But it would be sort of weird for them to do that during the first Grey's hour. I guess we'll see next week.

It's funny we have the opposite problem (you watch the first show and i watch the second).

The previews show Addison hearing that Derek was going to propose to Meredith.  And when Meredith came home last night the whole bed was cleared off of rose petals except the one she found. (Which in Meredith's mind could easily go to Derek being with someone else, but that's just a guess)  I can see the vast majority of the episode being the romantic triangle while doing brain surgery. And it wasn't just Addison who went to Seattle Grace from Private Practice.

Media Check:

In honor of Kritzerland's Mystery Soundtrack Release™, I'm playing the previous Kritzerland Michel Colombier release, which I love.  But Michel has been a favorite of mine since I was a very young child and Wings was released.

I have finished up my reviewing duties with the BD of Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway (loved it), and am awaiting a new pile of review discs which will probably arrive today.  I am supposed to be reviewing Goodbye, Mr. Chips, but alas DVDTalk hasn't gotten it in yet.  I will be patient for a little while longer before I break down and buy it myself.  ;)

I didn't really notice that anybody discussed at length this week's episode. I was
so so happy to see jin back (although i had a feeling he was coming back so i
wasn't really shocked). But i am so so happy.  I will say that i loved seeing
young danielle. And while i could understand them perfectly when they were
speaking individually i really could not when they were all speaking at the same
time. I can't tell if we were supposed to. Or if the writers just figured that nobody
much would understand anyways. But they were all talking over each other!
I'm curious what will happen with the six. And how/if they will attempt to go back.
Interesting that it was ben who was trying to get kate to take the test. I would not
have thought it was him. And how interesting to make us think it was claire's mom.

I thought it was an alright episode--as much as we had some interesting occurances (Jin, Rousseau, the Other Others, etc.)  it sort of felt like there was a lot of padding.  I donno, maybe I just didn't liek that they were hopping from Island to off Island--there seemed to be a lack of focus for me on this episode.  But in any case, I still enjoyed watching it

We went to see the surgeon yesterday. He thinks they got it all. I have to go for a full body scan in about 3 months time for them to be sure. If anything "lights up" then, we will have to address whether I would need surgery or more chemo, but at the moment he is optomistic so hurray for that.

I don't mind telling you I am getting very discouraged about the healing process. I do not feel that I have made any progress at all. I have some hearing loss which I was told yesterday may not be reversable.

I have no voice and now I am being told it may be up to a month before I am able to speak.

The pain in my throat and the back of my tongue feel as if I have been gargling shards of glass, again they are telling me it can be a month before I see any changes.

I cannot lie down at all without being strangled by my own thick saliva. So I sleep in a chair.

I vomit at the drop of a hat.



I was hoping that once they stopped putting things in me that I would start to show some signs of improvement. Sorry to be whining but I am feeling a bit sorry for myself today.

RE: LOST

Well, remember that Ben has lost his daughter and may actually want Aaron as a replacement. Of course, Aaron must go back with the rest of the 6, but Ben is known for having MANY ulterior motives.

Oh, that's a good one--I hadn't thought of that.  I had seen the clip with the lawyers coming to Kate's house as a sneak peek on the internet a few weeks ago and sort of surmised that it was probably Ben trying to pry Kate out of her comfort zone.  But the idea that Ben wants to (or needs to) "adopt" another child as he did with Alex is an intriguing one.

My trip to Kroger was very strange, starting with my least favorite deli clerk.  She barely acknowledges the customer and never, never asks, "Is there anything else you need?"  Then an old guy got in the check out line behind me with one item and pushed the clerk to ring him up before my transaction was complete.  The coup de grace, though, was finding a hand-written note on my windshield, complimenting me for driving a Pontiac Vibe, voted one of the safest small cars.  The note also has some anti-import, buy-American content that I suppose one should expect living in a redneck steel town.

I am royally PO'd at DVD Planet, AKA Collector's Choice, AKA Digital Eyes, AKA Deep Discount.  They completely screwed up an order back during their 25% off sale and ended up shipping something I had cancelled not once, not twice, but THRICE.  So anyhoo I went ahead and accepted the item since it wasn't worth me spending money to send back, and lo and behold I get a PAST DUE NOTICE today, which is incorrect anyway.  They are trying to charge me the difference between the sale price and their "regular" price.  I just got off about a half hour call with a guy who was at least polite and understood the problem, not that it's fixed yet.  Grrrrrrrrrrr.....

We went to see the surgeon yesterday. He thinks they got it all. I have to go for a full body scan in about 3 months time for them to be sure. If anything "lights up" then, we will have to address whether I would need surgery or more chemo, but at the moment he is optomistic so hurray for that.

I don't mind telling you I am getting very discouraged about the healing process. I do not feel that I have made any progress at all. I have some hearing loss which I was told yesterday may not be reversable.

I have no voice and now I am being told it may be up to a month before I am able to speak.

The pain in my throat and the back of my tongue feel as if I have been gargling shards of glass, again they are telling me it can be a month before I see any changes.

I cannot lie down at all without being strangled by my own thick saliva. So I sleep in a chair.

I vomit at the drop of a hat.

I was hoping that once they stopped putting things in me that I would start to show some signs of improvement. Sorry to be whining but I am feeling a bit sorry for myself today.

Fossils found in Colombia reveal an ancient giant snake that stretched 42 to 45 feet long and weighed more than 2,500 pounds. "This thing weighs more than a bison and is longer than a city bus," said Jack Conrad of the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

DRUG FROM GENETICALLY ALTERED GOATS APPROVED

WASHINGTON  —  The Food and Drug Administration made history Friday as it approved the first drug made with materials from genetically engineered animals, clearing the way for a new class of medical therapies.

GTC Biotherapeutics said regulators cleared its drug ATryn, which is manufactured using milk from goats that have been scientifically altered to produce extra antithrombin, a protein that acts as a natural blood thinner.
The drug's approval may be the first step toward new kinds of medications made not from chemicals, but from living organisms altered by scientists. Similar drugs could be available in the next few years for a range of human ailments, including hemophilia.
...


So, will vegans refuse to use drugs made from animal milk?

And speaking of me being on, HAPPY EARLY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mom might have been on already, but I don't know... she's been feeling a little better now, and she's been moving around. That bell is still a big help to her though, so thanks for that again, I don't really mind it that much anymore. I'm hopeing her voice and taste buds come back soon, and when they do, I have two things to do:
1) Buy her a LOT of orange juice
2) Get Skip to make her those eggs she loves and send them here. (Just kidding Skip, but she still loves them)

And, that's pretty much it. So, valentines wishes to all, and I'll hopefully be on again soon!!!

I did receive two additional Blu-ray discs to add to my ever-growing review stack: HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 and the original HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC (Remix Edition).

I'm actually looking forward to to seeing them. I like the characters and am anxious to see where their stories take them. The second one looked spectacular in high def, and since the movie is obviously going to have superior production values to the two made-for-cable movies, it should look even better.

But they are far down the stack of discs to be watched.

I've watched YENTL twice, once actually listening to the commentary (something I don't really normally do except in rare instances). . .

I've listened to ALLEGRO twice since it arrived.
I've been working on listening to WORKING ON A DREAM, the latest from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

I just heard from Anthony. He is in Indiana. He has decided to go the whole way to Chicago. He's about 2 hours away from Destination 1. He was filling up at a gas station. He said the weather in PA and OH has been beautiful. He took off his coat it was so warm in the car. It's still light out (it's 4pm where he is) and he's wide awake. He pulled off at a rest stop and took a nap earlier so he thinks just driving through to Chicago is the best way to go.

Dinner!

At The Cupboard: Baked Catfish, Italian Spinach, Crowder Peas and Mac'n'Cheese. Served with Corn Bread Muffins, Yeast Rolls, and Sweet Tea (of course).

*And my slice of Pecan Pie just arrived too!

Well, let's just hope that you don't end up In The Throes Of The Throes...        :P

We visited some friends last night.  Their dog and duck are great playmates - the duck chases the dog and then the dog grabs the duck by the neck.  It really was quite amusing to see them play but some day I suspect there will be a final winner!

What a wacko day.  The sun was out for about ten minutes, otherwise it's been raining all day.  I began the day revising pages from yesterday.  After that, I just made the decision I'd been struggling with.  I went back and adjusted all the pages, that needed adjusting then wrote an additional few pages.  Then I went to lunch at the Studio Cafe and knew I'd done the wrong thing.  I'm glad I did, however, otherwise I would have wondered about it and fretted about it.  But having done it, it just seemed wrong as can be.  The interesting thing is that two weeks ago on a jog I came up with what I thought was a very good way to finish.  I wrote it down and I just should have trusted that.  But long before, I had this other thing in the back of my head that I thought might be fun and interesting, but having finally done it it was a little convoluted and didn't feel right or hang together right with the rest of the book.  So, I went back and rewrote all the rewrites - I stupidly didn't do a "save as" and save the way I'd written it originally.  Actually, I did cut and paste the three most important pages' original version into another Word document, so I had that.  All that took most of the day.  I still wrote five pages, though, and now it's on to the final two chapters.  I'll probably start the new chapter later tonight, and then try to finish that (it will be longer than the other chapters) by Sunday, and the final chapter will be fairly short, at least as I'm seeing it.

They had the  new bathtub (not hooked up) in bathroom, framed the new closets, put some insulation on the walls and I'm told that since I was there on Wednesday, installed the electric outlets and are working on the duct work for the central heat and air.  I was told that would be finished this Saturday. 

We'll see.

 I'm trying to keep my cool the best I can but I don't think I'll be alright until I'm back in the house.  Sometimes I think I'm not going to make through this without having another stroke.

  I know.  And I wish I could come here more often but I don't feel right using Thelma's computer. 

I wish I could have afforded the wireless card but those days are gone.  Sigh.

I just keep taking deep breaths.  I know it's been really cold (for us) down in the upper 20's lower 30's so I'm sure that is part of the hold up.  I know it will come together. 

If it had been summertime here a lot of the stress would have been off of me because Sheena could have stayed in the kennel/cage I have for her but with these low temps, there is no way I would leave her outside. 

In the kennel, she is warm and safe but it costs $19.50 a day for her to be there.  I worked a deal to get some money back if I supply the food but it's not much if she has to stay there over a month.

I will get to go see my girl tomorrow.  I am SO looking forward to that.  I'm just sorry that it will just be a visit and I won't be taking her home.

Have a nice visit.

I've never spent this much money in my life either.  With job cuts on the way I'm stressing about how far in debt I am now.  But it HAD to be done.  I couldn't live in a house that had a temp of 51 degrees in my living room. 

And one thing fed off the other.  I couldn't get Central Heat & Air without doing a rewire.  I couldn't keep the warm or cold air in without new windows.  The roof was in really, really, really bad shape.  My homeowners insurance was dropped a few days after I hired the guys to do the roof because their inspector drove by sometime in November and said the place was in disrepair. 

And (Like the contractor said) if I was going to do all that then I might as well get the other things I wanted done so I would be happy with the house.

I was so sick of the washer and drier being in the kitchen.  I really did need the utility room added.

Well, the house isn't moving as fast as I would like it to.  I think they waste a lot of time.


 I'm trying to keep my cool the best I can but I don't think I'll be alright until I'm back in the house.  Sometimes I think I'm not going to make through this without having another stroke.

Keep good thoughts, Danise!  Just remember how wonderful it will be when it is all finished.
  I'm trying.  I know I'm going to be very happy.  I just wish I could invite all of you over to see it.  I am taking lots of pictures as the work is being done.  I can't up load them here because that would put them on Thelma's computer but when I get back home and get unpacked (Merry Christmas!!!  Just thought I'd say that now) I will put them on PhotoBucket for you all to see.

DR Danise - Just remember, any sort of progress on your house is progress.  Better that they take their time, than to rush the job and cut corners.  And with the amount of work that they're doing on your house, it actually sounds like they're moving faster than "normal".

Melinda finally making the move. Still, the ghost story this week was very involving, and I had tears in my eyes again during the final revelation as she recited the dedication in THE LITTLE PRINCE.

I doubt he will head to Boys Town. He will just eat his cousin's great cooking, make sure his phone is well hidden from the dog (who chewed on it last time he was there) and go to bed. He said after 14 hours in the car all he wants to do is sleep for another 14 hours.
