When I've acted spontaneously, I usually regretted it afterward, so I always try to think things out first.

If a salesman says to me, "This offer is only good for today," I walk away.

re: last week's THE FASHION SHOW (episode 11)

SPOILERS

DR MattH, I was curious about who you thought had the best collection, who you want to win, who you think should win, and who you think will win?

Personally before the final fashion show i liked all 4 designers, although i liked anna
 the least. I thought that daniella was obnoxious at times. But i liked many of her
 designs. I thought reco was good and fast. And good at sewing. And while there
 were a few of his designs i hated (red dress), i thought he was great. And i loved
 loved james paul. To me he was the most talented, even though he did weird stuff
 at times. Anna sort of grew on me. Did not care for her in the beginning. But she
 did start doing some interesting stuff.
After watching the finale,  my opinions sort of changed. I loved loved anna's collection.
My only complaint is that it was not cohesive. But there were so many of her pieces that
 i would love to wear. I thought daniella's collection was just okay. I was sort of
disappointed. I would not want to wear many of her clothes. I was also a bit
 disaapointed that reco spent so much time doing research. He could have done
better. As for James paul, i think he is brilliant. The most talented designer, with such
 a vision. But i don't see women wearing most of those clothes.
So IMO anna had the best collection. And i see her winning, especially since it's
 the public's vote. Unless the voters had pre-conceived favorites before the finale
 and are voting for those (i have not seen who was most popular). But to me anna
is a people's designer. So i totally see the people loving her work.  I am unclear
how people will see james paul. He's obviously talented and i could see the judges
 giving him the $10K. But i don't really see the fans voting for him. He's great. But
 his clothes are not accessible to regular people. I can see a lot of fans disliking
 daniella. Will be interesting to see what happens.jkjl iuo oiu iuo oiu oiuoiuuoiiuoiuo u iooiu oiu oiu oiu oiu oiu oiu oiuoiuiuo one two oi oui oiu oiu oiu lkjlkjlkljlkjlkjl kjkljkj

THE FASHION SHOW:
















James Paul's was by far my favorite collection. There were pieces that could be adapted to other wardrobe that a woman already has, and despite its lack of color, I just thought the designs and fabrics were stunning. Anna's all screamed retread to me; they were very attractive but were all modifications of things we had already seen. I wanted something new. Daniella's didn't fit well and just didn't appeal to me.

I was at home (in reference to the Moon Landing) in Coon Rapids, MN, staying up late (although it was summer and I didn't have to go to school the next day) watching with rapt fascination.

I believe I was in the hospital waiting room with my father waiting for my brother, Don, to be born. He was a preemie.  So, starting tomorrow, July 21, Don and I will both be "40" for about a month.

I'm really not sure what to think about this:

Mo. Car Dealer Offers Free AK-47 With Truck (http://www.kmbc.com/news/20088205/detail.html)

And/or if you'd like to see the CNN interview with the car dealer: Click Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e60VhXBo1S8&feature=related).

In any case...

I was listening to BBC World Service this morning, and they interviewed the car dealer. At first I thought it was a joke, the car dealer just seemed a little too "on" to be real.  However, throughout the course of the interview, I could tell that the car dealer was being very serious, and that the interviewer was caught off guard by his candor and fervor. -He seems a bit more subdued in the CNN video.  Anyhoo... The final segment of today's program featured some of the listener responses to the story... It appeared that they had quite the response to the story.

TOD - our recent trip to New York was pretty spontaneous, for us, anyway.  We just got up one morning and decided to go 2 and a half weeks later.  Usually, I'm planning trips at least 6 months in advance.  We realized that, both being retired, there's no reason NOT to do that sort of thing more often.  So, stay tuned, we may do something REALLY spontaneous one of these days!

I remember watching the moon walk with my dad, mom, sister and a cousin who was staying over.  We were eating ice cream after 10:00, which was unheard of in our household.  I remember my dad saying something about the moon in our sky might not be visible depending on how much dust the astronauts kicked up while they walked around.  My mom was worried that some kind of moon creature was going to attack the astronauts.  My cousin fell asleep shortly after Armstrong set foot on the surface.  And I was pouring over a schematic drawing of the LEM from the newspaper, trying to decipher what was going on from the fuzzy TV image.  I don't think any of us actually heard Armstrong's historic words.

One of the biggest spontaneous things (for me) was when I decided to fly to New York on my own and see "Elaine Stritch:  At Liberty" while it was still on Broadway.  I didn't want to take the chance o f not seeing her while I had the chnce.  It was one of the best times of my life.

Well, I am not happy right now.  A neighbor from up the street just knocked on my door and told me someone broke into my car.  Odd.  My car is sitting in front of my house, as always.  I went jogging.  I didn't notice anything untoward when I looked at it.  So, I went outside and sure enough some unmitigated ASSHOLE smashed the driver's side window - and what did they steal?  The car?  No.  The new radio?  No.  The checks and checkbook that I'd left in the glove compartment?  No.  The iPod in the glove compartment?  No.  They stole the $150 GPS unit, that's what they stole.  I can only wish the ASSHOLES the worst possible diseases and karma for the rest of their sorry lives.  I mean, what are they going to make on a $150 GPS unit?  I'm trying to file a police report on the phone, and that's taking a very long time.  Meanwhile, I called my insurance company and they gave me the number of glass repair company, and they're coming out between eleven and one.  So, depending on when they get here and how long it takes, I may only be at part of our rehearsal today.  We shall see.  I am REALLY annoyed and I want the ASSHOLES who did this to suffer greatly, as they so deserve to do.

I would never have imagined that a $150 item would be hot with thieves - especially to take the chance that a car alarm will go off (mine apparently didn't - why, I'll have to find out) - how can it be worth it?  And they could have gotten an iPod, a radio, checks - the police think it was kids - big influx of this stuff in NoHo and here, apparently, so maybe they'll start patrolling.

I don't know whether I'll replace the GPS or not - it was quite handy and I quite liked it, but I don't know if I'm up for disconnecting it every time I leave the car, and I certainly don't need any more smashed windows.  Window is fixed and looking good, so I'll go do some errands and then be on time for work session.

Sorry to hear about your car, bk. That sucks. I wonder if the creeps who stole your GPS are thinking "This is the most spontaneous thing I've ever done!"

I've only had 2 car break-ins, but both were in LA while I was working on films, and both on Melrose. The first time all they got was an overcoat. The second time, tapes and EDLs, my briefcase with camera and plane ticket, etc. Since the tapes contained (tasteful) nudity, the producers were quite concerned that they might end up someplace weird and were worried about getting sued. Not a fun day. Argh...

I finally have some review items which will allow me to resume a work schedule. Of course, the UPS delivery didn't arrive until near 3 p.m. so it was too late to do anything about it this afternoon. I'll review one of the three items tonight.

They were THE WATERBOY (which I'll do tonight), the WITCH MOUNTAIN movie with Dwayne Johnson, and SLING BLADE.

Yep, these were all Disney items. Still no TOWERING INFERNO.

bk - Sorry to read about your car GPS woes.  But I also have to ask: Why do you keep your checkbook in your car?  And most GPS units have a "click-mount" - it should only a second or two to your car-entering and exiting routine.  That extra second is worth any future hassle. In any case...

It's good to see that you're OK, that you were not a "part" of the robbery. That's what really counts.

It sounds like a classic "smash and grab".  They were probably walking by the car, saw the GPS mount, and did their thing.  If they had dug around for your iPod and checks, that would have taken more time - which would have provided more time for them to get caught.

As for the Topic of the Day...

Well, my trip to Chicago a couple of weeks ago was more or less spontaneous.  And since I had made no advance plans for that visit...

When I was in college, I do remember just deciding to head up to DC or NYC for the weekend just because I could. And I did.

Otherwise, whenever I do my "wander, wander, wander" thing, it's more or less a series of small spontaneous things one after the other.

No, the smash and grab happened before daylight.  Also, I don't usually keep checks in the car, I'd just forgotten they were there.  And yes, if I should get another GPS, in and out of the car it will go.  I hate that people can just mess with people's lives like this and I've been bummed about it for hours, simply because they will never get caught - they will, however, despite what they may think now, have karma pay them a visit, and if I can add my endless bad wishes for them to suffer from bad things, then I shall.  It made today's work session very iffy for me, I just wasn't with it or in the mood.  Still, listening to Miss Purl and Mr. Spirtas sing was lovely and made me feel better.  And remember the other day when we were talking about friends who come by and take care of you in one way or another - I could have used such a friend tonight, but there are none to be found.  I have wonderful friends, and I cherish them, but I've never known them to just pick up and come over if needed - just not an LA thing, I guess.  I do it, if I'm summoned or needed, but that's just me.  Kevin might come over after they finish (I left early) and have some dinner so we can hash through the show, because it isn't feeling like much of anything to me right now and I need to hear my notes from our first work sessions - and he's got all those.

I was at home (in reference to the Moon Landing) in Coon Rapids, MN, staying up late (although it was summer and I didn't have to go to school the next day) watching with rapt fascination. While everyone is entitled to their own opinions it is amazing the lengths to which people will go to deny that the Moon Landing really happened.

I believe I was in the hospital waiting room with my father waiting for my brother, Don, to be born. He was a preemie.  So, starting tomorrow, July 21, Don and I will both be "40" for about a month.

And, yes, BK, I have a spontaneous moment story:

TOD

While I was attending Post Graduate School in Monterey, CA. my MIL was visiting to help my wife with our brand new son. I decided we should take a short Friday afternoon trip to show MIL the Pinnacles National Monument. En route I noticed a sign mentioning Yosemite and I asked my MIL if she liked Yosemite. She replied that she’d never been there. Well, that would never do! “Shall we go for the weekend?”, I asked my wife. “Sure”, she replied. So at the next intersection we turned right and headed east toward Sierra Nevada Mountains. My MIL was aghast – “What are you doing? Nobody’s packed and we have three children in the car, one of which is only 10 days old. Well, we always traveled with complete changes of clothes for all of us (in case we came upon an irresistible beach or lake to explore). If you’ve packed for an afternoon for a nursing infant, you’ve packed for a week. ”But I don’t have my toothbrush!”, moaned MIL. “We’ll buy you one.” I replied. So off we went for a most thrilling weekend. And the Baby slept in a dresser drawer just like Moon Mullins in the comics.

After that, MIL never entered my car without a packed overnight bag.

And it appears that The Onion (http://www.theonion.com/content/index) has been sold to the Chinese.

;D ;D ;D ;D

*Even just a quick scan of the headlines should provide a good amount of chuckles.


I have never heard of The Onion.

DS Betsy graduated from UW Madison, where The Onion began, and she knows a lot of its founders/writers.  Most consistently hilarious parodies out there.  One of my favorite Onion headlines:

Actually, I kind of bought my little bungalow spontaneously.   I found it on the internet, went tot he open house, called my realtor on the phone and said get over here I'm making an offer right now.  By the end of the day I bought the house.   I was looking for a condo at the time.  It was the only house I looked at.  I loved that place.

Back from a sandwich at Jerry's with Kevin.  I told him I was not happy with the direction the show was going in, and he completely agreed with me.  I then talked through the initial set up of the theme of the show - and it will work really well from there and everything sort of fell into place as I talked it out.  It will now be much easier from here.  It's funny - it's so easy to tell when I'm not thrilled with something - I just sit quietly and can't make decisions or give ideas - not until it feels right and I know we're on the right path.  So, that's what I did today - nothing about what we were doing felt good, and that's why I left early - to figure it out, which I did whilst driving home in the car with the new window.

Laura, you're the kind of friend everyone needs.  In LA, no matter how close my friends are in terms of being friends, no one will actually get in their car and come and take care of you - at least that's been my experience.  They either don't want to drive or they're busy or something is always up.  If someone needs me, I cancel what I'm doing (unless that's impossible) and I'm there.  But that's me.

There is much controversy in my family about where each of us was when the moon landing happened.  I was 8 years old but distinctly remember being at my Aunt and Uncle's lake home with my Aunt and Uncle, cousins and my Uncle's sister and brother-in-law. For some reason I don't remember the rest of my family being there.  That wouldn't have been out of the question, there were times I stayed there without my immediate family.

On the other hand my parents insist we were at home.  I'm not sure they both remember the same thing either.   

So...who knows.

I was at home (in reference to the Moon Landing) in Coon Rapids, MN, staying up late (although it was summer and I didn't have to go to school the next day) watching with rapt fascination. While everyone is entitled to their own opinions it is amazing the lengths to which people will go to deny that the Moon Landing really happened.

I believe I was in the hospital waiting room with my father waiting for my brother, Don, to be born. He was a preemie.  So, starting tomorrow, July 21, Don and I will both be "40" for about a month.


And what do you remember most about the day, Jose?

I guess not much.  However, I still have a very distinct memory - well, more like an image - of waiting in a hospital lobby with my father a few years later when my youngest brother, Jay, was born.

Yes i am. Who are your favorites?


Mine are melissa and ade. I also like kayla. Jason sometimes. The ones i liked least went home this past week.I find brandon is getting on my nerves. Jeanine is growing on me. I think evan is the worst and don't understand why he is never in the bottom. Janette is okay.



All of the girls are soooo good this year -- and I agree that the right two left last week -- although I thought Evan was in possible trouble. Melissa and Janette, but Jeanine is growing on me, too, and Kayla is good, too -- tough decision with the girls .... now the guys, Ade and Bandon (there is something cocky about him, but I'm trying to go by JUST their dancing) are neck and neck, then Jason and then Evan ...

...but I'm open to seeing how they all do this week and willing to change my voting order if someone should happen to bring it on!

On the other hand, Henry Winkler was about the best I've ever seen him in the movies, and I liked Faruza Balk as the bad girl love interest, too.

No, the smash and grab happened before daylight.  Also, I don't usually keep checks in the car, I'd just forgotten they were there.  And yes, if I should get another GPS, in and out of the car it will go.  I hate that people can just mess with people's lives like this and I've been bummed about it for hours, simply because they will never get caught - they will, however, despite what they may think now, have karma pay them a visit, and if I can add my endless bad wishes for them to suffer from bad things, then I shall.  It made today's work session very iffy for me, I just wasn't with it or in the mood.  Still, listening to Miss Purl and Mr. Spirtas sing was lovely and made me feel better.  And remember the other day when we were talking about friends who come by and take care of you in one way or another - I could have used such a friend tonight, but there are none to be found.  I have wonderful friends, and I cherish them, but I've never known them to just pick up and come over if needed - just not an LA thing, I guess.  I do it, if I'm summoned or needed, but that's just me.  Kevin might come over after they finish (I left early) and have some dinner so we can hash through the show, because it isn't feeling like much of anything to me right now and I need to hear my notes from our first work sessions - and he's got all those.

BK-- If I'd had money for airfare, I would have come seen you for long enough to dazzle you with cheer and friendliness.  Most people here would!!!

Kerry, Minerva and my MIL were roommates for a time before they married their husbands.
In this sentence, I was addressing Kerry, telling him about Minerva and my MIL being roommates. Not that Kerry was also a roommate with them.

Laura, thanks for keeping my secret!   ;)

I am frequently spontaneous, even when it isn't my idea. I couldn't tell you the number of times I have had to drop everything to come let the women in the church for Women's Fellowship or some other thing.

There's a difference between being responsible and being spontaneous.  LOL!

Thanks, BK. I know that if I ever need anything, DR Kerry will come through for me. He'd better!

Well, BK, I tried to do something nice for you today by posting the LESLIE PARRISH photo.

Evidently it did not do the trick, as not a mention was made. Maybe she just doesn't do it for BK anymore.

I'm starting disc four of Lost, which means I'm on to episode thirteen.

It's really funny, but the episodes I like least are all directed by Jack Bender.  I hope that changes, but every episode directed by someone else I find much better, and a couple of the recent episodes have been crackerjack.

I've been watching the storm tonight. But I have watched Pink Fish a couple of times. It's great.

Hi everyone.

Sorry to turn on the internet so late tonight.  I guess I missed a lot of drama.

I would have loved to stop over unannounced and bother bk, it would have annoyed him so much that he would have forgotten all about what was bothering him.

Title: Re: AS A WISE MAN ONCE SAID...

Lots and lots of healthy and happy vibes for everyone.

I tried to go back and read the last 3 days of posts. 

I guess I missed everything.

It's been a weird night.  I could have used a friendly shoulder, but sadly no one even called.

The topic of the day is spontaneity, is that right.

Last Friday night I threw a hissy fit about the smell of pot in my building, and now no one is talking to me.
You see I'm almost 60, most everyone else here is 20 or 30 something, but there are 5 children under 15 in the building, so I spoke up, loudly.

Maybe I should not have been so spontaneous.  But I just thought what was happening was rude.

Tomorrow after work I have to go to the Auto Club and transfer the car to my name, and then go to the bank and transfer his account to my name.  Hopefully both of those tasks will be done and over with.

I found a few old movies from the 1970's in my dad's stuff.  I have to rent a movie projector to watch them.

Wonder if I'll remember how to thread the film.

I just tried to sleep, but, why is it still so hot at 11:30.  I'm up again to open the front door and windows.

Maybe I stay up for the new release.

Maybe I'll annoy bk after my errands are done tomorrow.  If I had time I would drive to Glendale and pick up a 6 pack of Ginger Beer and U-No bars.

Maybe I'll take off 50 lbs.  Maybe I'll buy my kid a car.  Maybe I'll wash the car by hand.  Maybe I'll actually do all the things I say.  Maybe I'll save money.  Maybe I'll stop posting before I say something really stupid.

Forget it, I won't change.

Time to shut the door and windows and try to sleep in this heat.

One of the guys in "Romeo & Juliet" doesn't drink (alcohol...he's not the only one) and he found some Thomas Kemper Ginger Peach beer at a local Grocery Outlet store and it's good!  I bought some myself. :D

Then I watched TORCHWOOD: CHILDREN OF THE EARTH - Part 1 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of nice moments and some good surprises.

I enjoyed it very much!  Can't wait to see where they take everything. :)
