Well, you've read the notes, the notes were collectible, and now it is time for you to post until the collectible cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: EXPATIATE!
-
Very interesting notes and TOD.
I wish I knew what drives me to collect. If I could turn that switch off, I'd have a lot less clutter and a much larger bank account. :P
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I suspect that I will taking a nap this afternoon. Just sayin'.
-
And since I'm up, I think I'm going to watch the sunrise.
Laters...

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I suspect that I will taking a nap this afternoon. Just sayin'.
I won't be napping since I'll be at work.
It's supposed to be our first bad summer day today. Temperatures in the mid-90s with humidity making it feel like the mid-100s but it's not supposed to last long.
I'll be in the office anyway. We may make our "move" to temporary quarters today. I will also ask about working at home. We have AC and I would rather work at home even in a heat wave than sit in the madness that could be temporary working quarters for two weeks.
And now it's off to the showers and a trip to the office.
-
TOD: I don't collect anything any more. I am trying to get rid of stuff.
-
TOD: I don't collect anything any more. I am trying to get rid of stuff.
Me too.
-
I'm trying to de-clutter, but it's happening very slowly.
-
I don't collect anything any more.
Except eccentric friends, perhaps? :)
-
Collect the whole set!!
-
And the word of the day is: EXPATIATE!
And The Song Of The Day Is: PRETTY LITTLE PICTURE
-
TOD:
I think I mentioned before here that my main problem with collecting is that I'm cheap and I'm generally unwilling to put out the bucks that real collecting requires. The most moeny I ever shelled out was for the Alexis Smith Tony award but that was a rare instance of coming across an item that I could not pass by.
But among the things that I casually collect (or at one time collected) are:
60's Toys -- mostly toys that I had or that I coveted
Cereal premiums and toys
Soaky containers
Peanuts -- still tracking down a decent Charlie Brown Talking School Bus
Comic book action figures
-
Another thing I've mentioned here before: while eBay has been a boon to collecting, I also found that it sort of killed the thrill of the chase for me. I don't think that there's been anything that I desired that I haven't been able to find at one time or another--not to mention in one condition or another--on eBay. Really, it seems that if one is willing to pay the price (which pretty much rules me out), everything is findable on eBay. The only other requirement is vigilance.
-
I am also a collector. I have a huge DVD collection and I also collect one-of-a-kind autographs of classic film folk.
For example, I'm not interested in the standard 8x10 b/w glossy photo of Humphrey Bogart or Katharine Hepburn. Instead, hanging on my wall are framed original lobby cards of BACK LEGION signed by Bogie, and STAGE DOOR, signed by Hepburn, as well as Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball. Most of these I've purchased, but some I've pursued (e.g. KISS ME KATE lobby signed by Kathryn Greayson, Howard Keel, Ann Miller and Tommy Rall, who was the hardest signature to get). Among my other signed lobby cards: CITIZEN KANE (Orson Welles), JACK AND THE BEANSTALK (Abbott & Costello), BODY AND SOUL (John Garfield) and BAND OF ANGELS (Clark Gable).
I am also a fan of Al Hirschfeld; have 10 signed/numbered of his lithos in my living room.
Recently, I've been picking up some of these DonRuss trading cards that include swatches from clothing worn by various stars.
And, like BK, I have a Maltese Falcon.
Also, a "Rosebud"" globe from CITIZEN KANE. (Do you have one of those, BK?)
-
My wife says that, after I'm gone, she's going to throw all this s**t out.
But, she's not stupid. She'll sell it.
-
Good Morning, once again!
I'm up, I'm up... I'm back home... And I just made some oatmeal... And since I had some "spare" chocolate chips in the cupboard, I sprinkled a small handful on top...
And now I know that chocolate chips and oatmeal really don't mix. Blech!
-

When I started collecting signed lobby cards about 10 years ago, you could pick them up for next to nothing in ebay auctions. Now, they're priced through the roof...which is probably what they ARE worth.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
First of all, I'd say I'm more of an "accumulater" rather than a collector. However...
When Steve and I were together, we would collect... Guess what? Monkeys. I believe it all started when Steve found out that I was born during the Year of the Monkey (Chinese Zodiac). We didn't buy every stuffed monkey we came across - no Beanie Babies - but whenever we traveled somewhere, we tried to find at least one monkey to take back home with us. I think we only collected about 20 monkeys, so it was a manageable collection.
-
Good morning, all! Last night, perhaps because I was so tired, I slept the entire night with no meds. When i wke up and saw it was 8:45, I was completely floored. Of course, I may be tonight begging for meds and sleepless, so who the hell knows?
I have a trek to Toyland this morning to return a proofed score. and then I meet my loverly goddaughter Charlotte for tonight's movie. I'm quite excited about seeing the latest developments in Rowling's story line. The last two Harry potter books I have yet yo read, and this is the firsy film in the series that I haen't gone into without reading the book first.
DR TCB, what a fantastic thing for Stan to leave you! The cruise sounds fantastic and your room looks large enough to lay your hat and a few friends.
DR Druxy, I loved Al Hirschfield. He and his wife Dolly Haas were a lovely couple. I only met him a couple of times in the last two years of his life, but he was very sharp, informed, kind, and interested in a lot of things. They lived in abeautifl place in the East 80s, as I recall. I have a copy of his last book signed 12/05/91.
I collect favorite authors and music, primarily vocal and orchestra scores of theatre works, opera, operetta, ballet, and musicals. I used to collect novels that were the source of musicals, and they are all now in the Miami University Library with my librettos.
-
As you know full well, BK, I am a big book collector. I have something like five-six thousand books. I don't always need first editions. I did not collect for value necessarily. I never bought a book I didn't intend to read. I've still got a lot to get through, but I still intend on reading them. I've been buying since I was about 12. Most of the the stuff has increased in value over the years. I have books that I bought for a couple of bucks that are now worth far more than I paid for them.
I have several movie posters that I love and have mentioned in the past. Sheet music, records and CDs, comic books, at one point I collected canes for awhile. I think I have the programme of almost every play I've ever seen.
Like Dan the Man, while I've found the internet a boon in some ways in tracking down that odd item, I've found it has dampened the thrill of the chase. You can find specific needs, but you can't make those surprise discoveries you didn't know you were looking for until upon them.
Like BK, I miss going into those musty old bookshops and sleuthing the stacks. So often now when I go into the few remaining, so little has changed since my last visit. In some older shops, I can go and see the gap in the shelf where I pulled down and bought a volume before. Stock is winnowing and the overhead of maintaining a shop is just not financially worth it anymore. Easier to put it all on the internet. My adventure to pulp con last week was the first time I had been excited by a book fair in years.
Also for me, as the house has filled up and I have so much, I think my own urge to collect has diminished considerably. I am looking for less and I see less that I haven't seen or want or need before. The thrill is, if not gone, far less compulsive than it used to be.
-
Sunday's audience was excellent, and the cast gave a fine performance. It was fun to do the show again for people who enjoyed what they were seeing. Another standing ovation, and I was very happy for the cast. They work very hard, and do an amazing job.
MAN OF LA MANCHA is not an easy show to do.....or direct for that matter....but I am glad we took it on. Now I want to see it someplace else!!
-
A singing body part from outer space in a spoof of 50's sci fi...where do they GET these ideas?
-
DR TCB's trip sounds fabulous!
-
I started collecting photos and lobby cards and posters because back in the day, it was the only way to remember a movie. Now of course we can OWN the movie itself. I do have many 8 x 10 photos, some autographed...and several lobby cards. I also have some pressbooks.
I do like books as well....and LP's.....when I go we will have a great BIG wake and yard sale.....but I have a list of those things that should be sold as collectibles so a bit of money may be realized.
Right now my biggest investment is my Kritzerland Records limited edition CD's - many still in the shrink wrap and in MINT condition.
-
Good morning!
Good grief! It's going to be 97 today! Got to 94 yesterday, and so I'm glad to have the home A/C working and free from care over the stifling conditions outside.

Have made final plans with my friend Hal to see HARRY POTTER this afternoon, but it's a 3:20 show, so I will be very late getting back on-line this afternoon.
-
It's currently a lovely 75 degrees outside at 7 a.m. I have been doing a bit of yardwork. Maybe it won't get too hot today.
-
Like DR Jose, I am more of an accumulator than a collector. I love movies, so I have accumulated hundreds of tapes, laserdisc, and DVDs over the years. I'm not trying to collect every movie ever made or anything like that. It's something I love, and I love having favorite films around to see whenever I want.
Same with books. Same with CDs.

Dave Woodman, the artist I hired to do the caricatures for my ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD book, his mentor was Hirschfield.
-
Going to tidy a few things up in the office, and then I'll head down to get cleaned up for my outings today: lunch with John and movie with Hal.
Nice to get out of the huse after being a total hermit most of last week due to aches and pains.

In Svedish accent:

I'm glad you are feeling better, Matt H. I hope it lasts all day for you!
And the same for Elmore!

Monday morning greetings! We were up early and on the road to the hospital by 7am for what John's wife thought would be a family/physician summit about his condition and care. By 10am it was clear that not all the physicians were willing to participate and we were sent home. In great need of comfort food, we came home by way of Central Pastry.
-
I came very close to having Hirschfield do an original of - me. It was back in 1998, I think. I spoke to the lady who arranged for those things, told the price and how it worked, and I really thought about it for about two months, then, mostly due to cost, didn't do it. I wish now that I had. About five or seven years prior to that the cost wasn't so bad, but it had more than doubled by 1998 - still, it would have been worth it, and I could have done it and should have.

Let's all guess where Nina would have been. ;)
-
I'm up, not because of any noise, but because two gentlemen workers couldn't find anywhere else to converse but right near my bedroom window. They conversed just long enough to make sure I was up and couldn't go back to sleep, then they moved on.
-
I found out at yesterday's matinee the show's producer actually told several people about CFC's rude, unnecessary and unprofessional call to the LA director, and was heartened to hear absolutely everyone in backing the musicians.
-
I have only recently gotten back into books a little - moving very slowly and only purchasing real bargains when I occasionally find them. There are a couple of dealers on eBay who are now "favorites" and I check their stuff once a week - both have very good things and have my kind of books, and best of all the books are in excellent condition and very reasonably priced.

I've found from personal experience that simply getting up and screaming like a banshee in unintelligible shrieks right by your open window usually moves the conversation elsewhere. I kid you not.
-
Most Blu-Rays and DVDs have been gotten through trading off stuff I didn't want anymore - the trading has served me very well.
-
And, of course, I've had to sell many things that I wished I hadn't had to - mostly due to the very costly, very unnecessary, and very spiteful lawsuit I was put through, only to be asked to "walk away", which I did. Most of my great illustration paintings went back then, as I had to keep paying my lawyer's incredibly large fees for a year and a half. That lawsuit cost me well into six figures and I hope the people who were responsible get their karmic justice, although the wealthy and entitled seem to have it just wash over them - maybe someday, because no one deserves to get away with such behavior. But, those who've read my fictional novels know all about such behavior.
-
I suppose I'll try to do the long jog in about thirty minutes from now.
-
I just finished the Viola part for THE MOST HAPPY FELLA, Act Three, with only Cello and Bass to go before I start the Appendix numbers.
I will head down to Toyland now, hoping to be back here by 2:30. I did take the Vicodin and Flexerel this morning but i'm having a hard time getting my energy up to set out.
DR FJL, I'm sorry i'm missing your dinner with Rodzinski and DR Jose this evening; I hope you all have a good time. DR Matt H, enjoy the movie this afternoon.
-
You are always missed, elmore (well, when you're not around, anyway, that is)
-
BK, I'm not sure where you could watch LOST episodes.
As was mentioned ABC.com would have been my first place to suggest.
But they only have the last episodes.
If you do a yahoo/google search of "watch LOST online" there are lots of sites that claim you can watch the show. I just don't know if they are credible.

Coming this fall, I wonder if a certain DR will be attending. . .
Both WHV and TCM will be supporting partners in a 70th Anniversary
celebratory weekend to take place in Marietta, Georgia, just outside of
Atlanta and home of the "Marietta Gone with the Wind" Museum, Scarlett on
the Square. The weekend - November 13-14 - is sure to draw fans far and
wide, and will consist of a gala re-premiere screening at the historic,
newly refurbished Strand theatre, hosted by TCM's Robert Osborne and
complete with red carpet, replica of the original theatre facade, vintage
cars from the '30s, and more. In addition, there will be a" Belles and
Beaus" costume ball and "Gone with the Wind" authors forum.
-
Well, DR td, we already know [with photographic evidence] that you have the gown to attend said Ball appropriately. :)

DR Jane - is your expression a reaction to the non-conference or to our stop at Central Pastry? ;)

Well thank goodness you can fill those huge gaps of silence during her dance numbers, DR JMK.

BK--if you are eager to watch the season 5 episodes of LOST, I could probably still download them from the binaries newsgroups (I've already did the first three episode for my sister) but I can't guarantee that they will be in HD quality, let alone Blu-Ray.

It's hot as hell in Philadelphia.

Good Afternoon!
I'm up, I'm up... Well... I did take a nice nap, so... :)

Nice spring day here -- only 93 so far.

Good morning, sweetlings. Thanks for all the nice hi's from George and Ginny and TCB and Jane and Elmore and, jeez, short-term memory loss... huh? Collecting? Well, every closet and cupboard and most of the floor space is filled with wads o' crap - so I must be collecting SOMETHING, fa chrissakes... a rhyme or reason, an intention, a method to this madness? Hahahahahahahah!!!!! No discernable clue. A lot of the crap looks like talisman, amulet, charm, touchstone, keepsake. But, as I said, bit o' memory loss here...
-
Where was I? Oh, yes.... on my way out to do some weeding, and provide live food for my mosquitos...

I have Comcast cable service and none of the ABC shows are available through On-Demand. :P

It's hot as hell in Philadelphia.
Craig & Ioana only have one little air conditioning unit in the living room, not that it works all that well. The 5 1/2 years we lived there we had nothing. We did join a swim club many of the neighbors belonged to. That was fun. I just wish someone had told us about it the first summer we lived there.
-
I have been a collector since forever. I began collecting movie photos, posters, and pressbooks when I was in in High School. First item I bought was through the mail, an ATTACK OF THE 50 FT WOMAN lobby card for $3. Next was an 8x10 photo from ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE. And on it went from there.
I sold several of my movie posters a few years back, for a nice sum.
While I still collect movie items, I stick mainly to collecting June Kenney, Allison Hayes, and Ken Clark memorabilia
-
When I first discovered Ebay I began collecting Gumby items. However, that was short lived and I have sold or given away most of it.
Salt and Pepper shakers have long been of interest to me and I have a nice collection of those. I like the figural ones..people, animals, cartoon characters, etc. I still pick some up from time to time.
In Jr High I was collecting foreign coins and stamps.
-
It's hot as hell in Philadelphia.
It's supposedly HAH here in NYC too. I haven't stepped outside yet, so.. Guess I'll find out later.

Well, then eat standing up, for crying out loud. :)
-
In the 90s I collected autographed photos, in person and via sending out photos to celebrities to sign...mostly B movie people as well as the occasional current, but not well known, actor.
Those autographs I will never part with.
-
My current collectin obsession is Bollywood movie press books. I have a huge amount and am still getting more...from the 1920s to current.

Wow! That's Comfort Food Central. I want a cinnamon twist from there. Now!
-
Oh...
I just washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, vacuumed the floors, organized my bedroom, sorted through the junk mail and threw out the trash.
I guess I should not sleep more often?!?
::)
-
You are always missed, elmore (well, when you're not around, anyway, that is)
Awwww, Dr FJL, what a sweet thing to say! I'm wondering what delish surprises our wonderful Skip Kennon is brewng for tonight?
I am back from Toyland and I may try to nap before our movie, which is at 5:20. I'll meet my beloved Charlotte around 5:00 at the movies at 84th Street.
-
DR JRand58, I was just thinking about the Nadir Production of MAN OF LA MANCHA that I saw around 1977 at Miami University Summer Theatre. The Aldonza was a Middletown girl I once directed for the Miss Butler County pageant. Oy!
She was a very affected performer. Her big line as Aldonza, as I recall, was something like this: "Huhwhat's in may hot weel get you holfway to hail."
-
A singing body part from outer space in a spoof of 50's sci fi...where do they GET these ideas?

;D
-
The line was actually, "What's in my heart will get you half way to hell," or something similar. She came to NYC to model around 1980 and I have no idea what's become of her since.
-
Maybe she's graduated to playing the back half of Rosinante.
-
Hello, everyone.
I slept late, though I don't know how, even the noise from the garbage trucks. Must have been really tired.
-
Must pay some bills now.
TTFN.
-
Maybe she's graduated to playing the back half of Rosinante.
Having seen her Aldonza, she's not good enough for the horse's role.
-
My current collectin obsession is Bollywood movie press books. I have a huge amount and am still getting more...from the 1920s to current.
Last night we watched the beautiful Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in THE LAST LEGION, also with Colin Firth & Ben Kingsley. We both enjoyed it very, very much.
-
Last night we watched the beautiful Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
I wish that last night I had been watching the beautiful Ahmed Butt.
-
LOL.
Keith truly enjoyed watching the beautiful Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Lucky for me Colin Firth looked pretty good in the film. I must admit Keith had the better viewing. During her fight scenes you could see the dancer she is.
-
"The Apartment" has landed! It just arrived here at my work! ;D
-
Why do I collect?
You ask me why I collect?
Sigh.
I wish I knew.
My mom thinks it's a sickness.
I think it's just wanting to have something tangible that's associated with films I love, be it a soundtrack LP, CD, lobby card, still set, insert, half-sheet or one-sheet.
Sigh.
-
And now, just because I am sure everyone cares.....
-
Cute kittens!! :D
-
I couldn't tell you how many times I put Skip back up there. And he was still distracted.
-
Oh so cute DR Laura. Thank you, I do care very much :)
-
And speaking of Skip... Time to head to dinner!
Laters...
-
I couldn't tell you how many times I put Skip back up there. And he was still distracted.
This is usually a line for FJL.
-
DR Laura how is Jane doing?
-
Waiting a few months for new episodes hasn't killed any of us LOST fans, so I think bk SHOULD wait to see them in the very best quality when Season 5 comes out in December.
-
Wonderful shot, Laura DR!!!!! :D
How much longer do you get to keep them?
-
I am back from THE HALF BLOOD-PRINCE. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I would need to see it many more times before I can state where I would rank it with the others. There was some choppiness to the plotting this time out, and the time spent on the love lives of the three leads seems excessive with all the other murky goings-on at the school. (There was a lot in the book, too, that didn't interest me there either).
-
When I got in from lunch, I finished watching FOR ME AND MY GAL which I had started last night.
-
They will go in to be spayed/neutered when they weigh two pounds. They are at about 1.5 pounds now. So another couple of weeks.
Jane is doing well. She is not nearly as protective any more. Actually, she sometimes hides from them.
-
When that was over, I restarted the movie and watched it with the John Fricke commentary on until Hal came to get me for the movies. He was very generous to her co-stars offering mini-biographies of George Murphy and Gene Kelly, among other players in the film.
-

DR Jane - is your expression a reaction to the non-conference or to our stop at Central Pastry? ;)
LOL.
Has a definite conference time been set?
The conference took place at about 4:20 this afternoon and several pivotal questions were answered. It's still not good, but John's wife and daughters don't feel quite so "in the dark."
The eldest daughter, Rev. Amy, who lives in NW Ohio is in town for a couple of days. She usually stays with her sister Jen, but that household has bronchitis, so Amy's staying with us this trip. I've just prepared the guest room, with wireless internet info and chocolates on her pillow.

And now, just because I am sure everyone cares.....
You collect kittens!

I watched MILK on blue-ray today, first time seeing the film, and cried my eyes out.
-
Back from all sorts of doings, including a lunch meeting, the bank, the mail place, and other errands. I have typed up my four pages of notes on the long musical and sent them. I am now FREE.

Wow. I didn't realize they'd shrink that much on Photobucket.

They are still very cute. Jane has a rather regal look about her. I think she was named for another Jane & I'm simply a coincidence ;)

I watched MILK on blue-ray today, first time seeing the film, and cried my eyes out.
I had exactly the same reaction when I watched it, DR td. When I get some time in the next few weeks, I'd like to rewatch it. (But I could say that about 1,000 DVDs and Blu-rays that I have.)

Monday morning greetings! We were up early and on the road to the hospital by 7am for what John's wife thought would be a family/physician summit about his condition and care. By 10am it was clear that not all the physicians were willing to participate and we were sent home. In great need of comfort food, we came home by way of Central Pastry.
???
DR Jane - is your expression a reaction to the non-conference or to our stop at Central Pastry? ;)
LOL.
Has a definite conference time been set?
The conference took place at about 4:20 this afternoon and several pivotal questions were answered. It's still not good, but John's wife and daughters don't feel quite so "in the dark."
The eldest daughter, Rev. Amy, who lives in NW Ohio is in town for a couple of days. She usually stays with her sister Jen, but that household has bronchitis, so Amy's staying with us this trip. I've just prepared the guest room, with wireless internet info and chocolates on her pillow.
Niece Amy may never leave ;)
I know how confusing it is trying to communicate with multiple doctors, I'm glad they all showed up. It is a shame the family has been kept in the dark for so long.

Sherlock is all tuckered out from his shower this afternoon. I'm wired as I've been eating coffee ice cream with chocolate KandyCakes. No wonder I didn't sleep last night, this really must stop.

I had a friend back in the Seventies who used to collect social diseases.
Hobby?
No, promiscuous.
-
TOD:
I think I mentioned before here that my main problem with collecting is that I'm cheap and I'm generally unwilling to put out the bucks that real collecting requires. The most moeny I ever shelled out was for the Alexis Smith Tony award but that was a rare instance of coming across an item that I could not pass by.
But among the things that I casually collect (or at one time collected) are:
60's Toys -- mostly toys that I had or that I coveted
Cereal premiums and toys
Soaky containers
Peanuts -- still tracking down a decent Charlie Brown Talking School Bus
Comic book action figures
What is a soaky container?

Soaky containers
What is a soaky container?
Bubble bath in a bottle shaped like cartoon characters. Think of Mr. Bubble meets PEZ.

Regarding MILK, almost immediately, I forgot that I was watching Sean Penn. His Harvey Milk is a truly brilliant performance from head to toe, he immersed himself into the personality creating one of the most believable characters he has ever put on film.
Josh Brolin scared me in a good way: he look like both Gus Van Sant and his father, James Brolin at the height of his popularity.
-
Is there somewhere on Facebook to find a listing of the groups I've joined?
-
I'm glad you are feeling better, Matt H. I hope it lasts all day for you!
And the same for Elmore!
DITTO!!!
And I DOUBLE THAT DITTO!

OK, YOU TRIVIA FANS, I NEED YOUR HELP:
http://www.tvparty.com/commercials/listerine69.ram
Who is playing "Dave" in this commercial? I know it's Clifton Davis as the other guy, but this one's driving me crazy. It's one of the commercials in the Mama Cass special I'm reviewing (one of the other commercials is a Playtex ad featuring Bernadette Peters, believe it or don't), and I'd like to identify this guy.
-
I have been a collector since forever. I began collecting movie photos, posters, and pressbooks when I was in in High School. First item I bought was through the mail, an ATTACK OF THE 50 FT WOMAN lobby card for $3. Next was an 8x10 photo from ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE. And on it went from there.
I sold several of my movie posters a few years back, for a nice sum.
While I still collect movie items, I stick mainly to collecting June Kenney, Allison Hayes, and Ken Clark memorabilia
Will you stop collecting June, now that she is alive again?
-
I DOUBLE THAT DITTO!
But do you DOUBLE DOG DARE it??
-
Will you stop collecting June
It's hard to stop. She keeps bustin' out all over.

Right now my biggest investment is my Kritzerland Records limited edition CD's - many still in the shrink wrap and in MINT condition.
I also have every Kritzerland release, but all but one of my CDs have been opened and listened to. The only title that I haven't opened is "Evening Primrose (http://www.kritzerland.com/eveprim.htm)." I bought two copies of it and have opened one. :)
-
Thank you DR DAW.
JMK, sorry I can't see the commercial.
-
Thanks to everyone for the good wishes about the cruise. My sister refuses to discuss it. She thinks I am a pepperoni shy of a pizza, but that is her problem.
-
DR George - perhaps someday you'll be able to sell that extra copy on eBay and buy a vacation home with the proceeds.
-
pepperoni shy
Is that like being "pee shy?"
-
sorry I can't see the commercial.
I can see it. [a The Fantasticks reference]
But I haven't a clew who these people are. :(
-
DR Laura how is Jane doing?
They will go in to be spayed/neutered when they weigh two pounds. They are at about 1.5 pounds now. So another couple of weeks.
Jane is doing well. She is not nearly as protective any more. Actually, she sometimes hides from them.
Whew! I thought Nurse Jane was having a breakdown!
-
Thank you DR DAW.
JMK, sorry I can't see the commercial.
You need to have Real Player installed and choose "run" when the dialogue box comes up.

Perhaps DR JMK's production of The Producers should appropriate another show's tag line:
Now. And Forever. :)

I watched MILK on blue-ray today, first time seeing the film, and cried my eyes out.
I didn't think it was that bad.

Topic of the Day: I have a whole bunch of musical theater cast albums and related recordings. I'm not a true completist, but I do what I can. ;)
Otherwise, the only thing that I really do collect (mainly because it's cheap to do so) is keychains. I have been collecting them since I was in seventh or eighth grade. And whenever people go on vacations, I usually get a keychain as a gift because they are so cheap. A few weeks ago, I even found my very first keychain that started it all, and have it hanging on a wall in my office with a whole bunch of my other keychains.

Actually, only one physician was present, but he took sole "ownership" of the case, which will alleviate some of the confusion. Too many different specialists were telling them conflicting courses of action last week.

"Dave" is someone famous, that much I can tell you. It's just on the tip of my tongue, and it's driving me batty (a short, scenic drive--I'll just save you the post, DAW). ;)

About 1:15 this afternoon, as I was getting ready for a rapid departure, we had a fire drill. I took my usual place at the top of the emergency stairwell. Since I am classified as handicapped (mentally), I don't have to exit the building; and in the case of a real fire I would be carried downstairs by a hunky fireman, in theory.
Well our second floor safety officer came out into the stairwell and said, "Tom, you can do whatever you feel comfortable doing, but this is not a drill."
I took the stairs.
-
Can we upload photos here? Here is Dave with his girlfriend:
Is it David Haskell from "The Ugliest Girl in Town?"

Yikes, DR TCB! Is everything OK?
As we drove through Franklin, OH, early this morning we saw this
Fitzgerald Flower Shop (http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/dayton-news/fitzgerald-flower-shop-building-destroyed-in-fire-242366.html)
event in progress. It's the shop that did the flowers for John & Jayne's wedding 24 years ago. Hers was the most beautiful bridal bouquet I've ever seen (including my own).

The moral of this story is that you are apparently more important than Elvis. :)

There was a fire in the elevator shaft, Ginny. I had just come back from putting my stuff in my car down in the garage, and just missed by one trip, being trapped in the elevator.

I don't think so, TD, but very close--and it's certainly someone of that vintage, if you know what I mean. I keep thinking he was in either a cop show or a big cop movie in the 1970s.
-
By the way, I'd just like to let you all know you haven't really lived until you've seen and heard Cass, Buddy Hackett, Martin Landau and Barbara Bain perform "Meeskite." No, I'm not kidding and, yes, I wish I were.

T.O.D.
Why do I collect?
Wow, that is a good question. I am basically a pack rat. Why do I hang on to three year old issues of TV Guide and Swiss Colony Christmas catalogs from 2005? I wish I knew. Some type of insecurity I suppose.
I used to collect old newspapers, not counting the stack in the recycle bin (yuck, yuck). I had them back to the turn on the 20th Century. The end of WWI and WWII, the deaths of Harding, Roosevelt, and Kennedy; as well as many others. Unfortunately, preserving newspapers is a difficult thing to do. I still have most of them, but they are turning brittle, like their owner.
The only other collection I have ever had is Titanic memorabilia. That, I suppose, is more of a fascination than a hobby.

Spoo! David Haskell was not "The Ugliest Girl in Town," Peter Kastner was.
David Haskell was the best looking Judas in the world. . .

And speaking of Blankets, Mark Lester is now saying that he believes he is the father of Paris Jackson!

That would be a true dilemma, were TWSMA ever to assay the role...

It does look familiar, but the image is so small (the Real Player) that I can't get enough of a good look at him.

If you were a friend of Michael Jackson, and he asked you if he could have some of your sperm; wouldn't you have insisted on knowing why he wanted it?
The story gets stranger and stranger, but then who would have known that Mark Lester was the godfather of all three Jackson children.
-
DR TCB - you are quite the cantankerous one this evening!! ;)
Not so, my dearest David! I was just stating a fact. If Mr. Barrett should play that role, Mr. Haskell would then forfeit the title.

I loved HARRY POTTER and, unlike DR Matt H, I enjoyed the comedy of the pubescent crushes and Hermione's unrequited feelings for Ron, since it lightened the heaviness of the continuing disaster and doom. I was shocked by the turn of events and the treachery of a major character as well.
Charlotte didn't tell me till it was over that she had seen it a week before, but she wanted to see it again. I got home in time to see the end of last week's THE CLOSER, and now i'm watvhing the current episode.

It really makes a difference to have a lead doctor, as long as he is good & communicates well. It sounds as if your family has found him.

While I was in Philly Keith got an iPhone. We are now a two phone service family. AT & T does not work at all on my regular hiking trail. There is a stretch of the road into town where his phone works & mine doesn't. Between us we should get excellent service at a premium price.
There were multiple times in Chicago he wanted access to the family genealogy info, now it will always be with him. Instead of reading at the gym he has downloaded informational shows to listen to. Sunday he joined Sherlock & me on our hike at we listened to a group of music he has labeled "in the woods".
Needless to say, Keith loves his iPhone. :)

Last night, when I checked my new e-mail on AOL, they had a printable coupone for a free medium fries and soft drink (or water) when you try the new Angus Burger. OH Boy!
It said type in your name and then print the coupon. For twenty minutes I tried every way possible to type my name on that coupon. Nothing. So I tried to print figuring I would write my name on it. Wrong. "You can not print this coupon until you have printed your name on it."
I almost carved my name in the screen and took the whole computer with me, but reason prevailed.

Dear Druxy, my kid already told me she's going to throw it all away, well except for what she likes.
-
Peter Kastner died??? When? How? I have such fond memories of him - we did a pilot together - we shot at the beach and we just bonded. We went to his place for dinner and he came to ours - my daughter thought he was the berries.
-
And now, just because I am sure everyone cares.....
They are DARLING!!!
-
Dear JRand58, congrats on the show.
-
Dear JMK, I agree about the banshee
-
On today's Y&R, Adam, Rafe, and Chance were in various scenes, but none of them really related to the other today.
-
Luke was on AS THE WORLD TURNS today, but only peripherally in on today's activities. Nothing in the previews.
-
Nothing on ONE LIFE TO LIVE today.
-
Then I watched yesterday's L&O:CI. Steven Lang was the primary guest star, and oh, my what a gorgeous body this man still has! He took off his shirt in one scene midway through the episode, and he was spectacular! Pretty good crime story, too, which a shocker of an ending.
-
Okay.
Oh, DR George. You're so diplomatic! :)
::)

-
While I was waiting to watch THE CLOSER starting at around 9:15, I switched to one of the Encores channels that was playing (once again) TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. I watched through the beginning of Adicus' cross examination of Ewell.
-
Good evening! I'm feeling much better, but will still keep an appointment with the doctor tomorrow. I wanted to wait for my doctor who will be back next week, but they told me no, I needed to see someone now. Ok, fine.
-
Then I watched today's THE CLOSER. It was a very strong episode with some nice surprises and four legitimate suspects to the crime.
-
Tonight I decided to see how hard it's going to be to remove the countertops, so I took out a section that's about 4 feet long. I did it! Cool. It was easier than I thought. The hard part is where the sink, garbage disposal, plumbing and dishwasher are. Chris will be here Wednesday to help and when one of my neighbors saw me outside with the countertop, he said if I need him to call and he'll come help me. I HAVE A PLAN B!! Whew!
-
Boo is totally freaked out that the counter she usually sits on is gone. LOL, she was pretty funny
-
Amy arrived about an hour ago and we've visited a bit. Now everyone's crashing for the night. See y'all tomorrow.

Dear Cillaliz, best wishes for the doctor visit.

The refrig stopped working yesterday. I just sent the manager an e-mail to have it removed from the apartment. No food ='s weight loss.

How about getting that new single neighbor from across the street to help, Cillaliz?

I've got nothing else to say.
Goodnight all.
Wishes for a terrific Tuesday.

How about getting that new single neighbor from across the street to help, Cillaliz?
He's never around and when he is he usually has someone with him, So, whatever.
I do need some help with replacing a couple light fixtures and he owns a company of electricians, so maybe when I'm ready for that, I'll see if he'll help.

Thanks and thanks Sam for the wishes for tomorrow. I'm really not too concerned about it. I do think I've had an episode in the past. I think that this is probably the same thing I had when I was in DC last year. It feels the same.
I'm really interested to meet this doctor. I think she's new at the clinic. I really like the other doctors there, so I hope I'll like her too.
-
It's been raining a bit here in Tumwater throughout the day, and now it's raining more than it has been....it's a pretty steady rain. I didn't wear a jacket, nor did I bring an umbrella with me. :P

At least, I'm leaving now and it's not a torrential downpour. Until later!

DR Jane, Boo is fine. She's sitting in an open window in the living room and looks quite content. don't know if she'll go in the kitchen again.

Topic of the Day: I have a whole bunch of musical theater cast albums and related recordings. I'm not a true completist, but I do what I can. ;)
Otherwise, the only thing that I really do collect (mainly because it's cheap to do so) is keychains. I have been collecting them since I was in seventh or eighth grade. And whenever people go on vacations, I usually get a keychain as a gift because they are so cheap. A few weeks ago, I even found my very first keychain that started it all, and have it hanging on a wall in my office with a whole bunch of my other keychains.
What was your first keychain?

Isn't the guy in the commercial Stephen McHattie?
-
Of course Sam could stay in PORTLAND whenever necessary too. ;)
-
I would not, however, recommend SALEM. Rumors of Bollywood cultists and the like....

Or Hattie McDaniel?

I heard the weirdest friggin' rendition of CANDLE IN THE WIND on XM on the way home from a gig tonight. The artist was Bronn Journey or something like that, and it sounded like a Celtic harp. As the musically literate here know, CANDLE is a pretty basic 4/4 piece with a pretty traditional harmonic schematic. This version was like someone playing on Quaaludes for a measure and 1/16th, then suddenly becoming a crack head for about a beat and a half and then doing something in between--completely (and I mean completely) assymetrical phrasing on what is one of Elton's most "balanced" tunes. I mean, it made Rubato seem like a martial tempo. ;) The weird thing is there was this massive string orchestration in parts, so it must have been planned--at least, I kept thinking it must have been. Weird, weird, weird.

You think I jest? Here's but a snippet I just found:

It now seems more like Jonathan & Darlene Do Your New Age Favorites on Harp!

I didn't feel like watching anything this evening, so I've been listening to CDs and wasting time on the Internet.

I have been a collector since forever. I began collecting movie photos, posters, and pressbooks when I was in in High School. First item I bought was through the mail, an ATTACK OF THE 50 FT WOMAN lobby card for $3. Next was an 8x10 photo from ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE. And on it went from there.
I sold several of my movie posters a few years back, for a nice sum.
While I still collect movie items, I stick mainly to collecting June Kenney, Allison Hayes, and Ken Clark memorabilia
Will you stop collecting June, now that she is alive again?
My June collecting will never stop.

I should've taken a picture when I was at work, but it's a plastic t-shirt shaped ad for a local t-shirt company. I found it on the street close to where I went to middle school. I just picked it up and kept it. I've been collecting them ever since. :)

I actually took a picture of some of my keychains in my office a couple of years ago and found the picture on my computer:

FYI...the big red Hawaiian t-shirt at the bottom is really a gift card that I kept. It's not a keychain, but it went with the surfboards and other Hawaiian keychains that I had. :)
