Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a trip, and now it is time for you to post until the Indiana and Kentucky cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: ANKH!
-
First post?
-
I just re-watched WALL-E on blu-ray. It's a better film than RATATOUILLE, but the latter is still my favorite Pixar.
-
Goodevening.
I hear the train. I'm only one block from the railroad tracks along the coast. One day I will take the Pacific Surfliner to Santa Barbara or San Diego for the day. Just for the fun of seeing the coast.
-
That's all I have to say.
Must now write 2 checks for my taxes, for the morning post office trip.
Good night, happy Thursday. ;)
-
Good evening, I had a terrible day for so many reasons. Even though I have an amazing credit rating, i was denied on the refinance because they income averaged back to the beginning of my business. Well duh, you're not going to make money your first 6 months.. Anyway, I was pretty ticked off. There were many other things that went wrong today,. I really needed an "It sucks to be me" t-shirt
-
The evening brightened up considerably. I called the man who hates cats who also had a very bad day. We hung out at his house, drank some beer, ate some chicken and talked for hours and hours. It was just what I needed to make the day better
-
Actually he went from "I hate cats" to " I really don't like them" Progress.....
-
Buck up, Cilla, he could be the man who hates cat dancing. No, I don't know what that means, either. ;)
-
My supergroovy new CD floor rack will hopefully be delivered to the new house tomorrow. It holds 1520 CD's, which should almost take care of Brasil. ;)
-
The weird thing about the new house is it's almost twice as big as our current house, but there are so many more windows that there actually fewer places to put things like bookcases and CD racks. So I've really been on a snark hunt for walls that I can put my various media on.
-
Buck up, Cilla, he could be the man who hates cat dancing. No, I don't know what that means, either. ;)
LOL. I don't need to buck up. It was a really nice evening. We both enjoyed talking and talking and we have a ton in common. We will most definitely be friends... :)

So get shorter book cases and CD racks and they will fit below the windows....or get skinnier ones to fit between the windows :)

My nephew and niece posted about seeing this on Facebook http://www.weau.com/news/headlines/90905134.html (http://www.weau.com/news/headlines/90905134.html)

So is my nephew's wife my niece, or my niece in law?

OK, time to get some sleep. It was a good evening

Glad you're fine without the bucking up, Cilla!

For Ginny:
A projected shortage of canned pumpkin was announced last fall:
NY TIMES (http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/17/libbys-warns-of-a-canned-pumpkin-shortage/)
Since the major comerical pumpkin crops are just once a year, we can preume the shortage will continue until next fall.
der Brucer
PS I'd check with the neighbors before I followed the suggestion to plant your own crop in the front yard
-
Glad you're fine without the bucking up, Cilla!
You are so brave! I'd never trust my fingers to type that sentence.

Good Evening!
One show down. Four to go.
So far, so good.
:)
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
Well...
Since I was born in 1968...
::)
-
DR FJL - As stated earlier, there has been no previous discussion of Ms. Feldshuh and Ms. Buckley in Arsenic and Old Lace. However...
When I first saw that story on Playbill.com, I thought Betty would be playing the "arsenic".
;D

~~~~~TRAVEL VIBES TO BK~~~~~~
*And, as DR Jane, asked/stated, you should have been able to change your seat online. Or just take care of it as soon as you get to the airport.
-
As for "The Lord of the Rings" Blu-Ray, well... I haven't seen it yet, but...
I have two friends who watched the complete LOTR Trilogy in the movie theatre at least five(!) times - including one of those marathon days where they showed them back-to-back. Both of them also have quite a nice home theater set-up. And... Both of them have issues with the BD. They're very minor quibbles, but both of them have stated that some things just don't look like they did on the big screen.
-
DR FJL - That pic of Jonathan Groff that DR MattH posted last night is from his appearance on "Glee" (last night)... I think. However... He sort of looked that way last summer in Central Park during The Bacchae. He had his own "pre-show" on the stage of the Delacorte which included changing out of a pair of wet jeans... :)
-
DR Druxy - Congratulations! Not. ;)
-
DR TCB - Well... If Andy Williams can dub for Lauren Bacall, why not Wayne Newton for Liza Minelli? ;)
-
OK...
Goodnight.

;D

Good morning, all! I slept well last night, and this morning I have another round of the McGlinnventory. Yesterday I accomplished very little beyond several hours with the McGlinnventory and some work at Toyland. My biggest accomplishment was mailing my estimated tax payments. I am postponing till tomorrow my post office trip; I have packages to send to Germany, Indiana, and other environs.
After today's work on the estate, which like Old Man River just keeps rolling along, I've got some OZ edits - I still have one song in Act One to finish - and I have to burn a few CDs for a friend who's stopping by later in the afternoon.
TOD: I preferred the folk groups like The Chad Mitchell Trio, the Kingston Trio, The New Christy Minstrels to rock and roll, although I did love Buddy Holly and could never understand the popularity of Elvis.
-
My internal alarm clock actually went off early and I got up at three-thirty and stayed in bed until four-ten. I've shaved and will shower in a few minutes, then pack up the last of the stuff.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
MR BK - just heard from Evil Kurt - and a five-ish din din at the hotel will be okay tomorrow.
Have a great flight - and welcome to Indiana via Houston.
-
Have a safe trip and have fun, BK!

Yesterday DR FJL wrote:
Jennifer - I'm not being deliberately stupid, but for a player on the Bengals, is $10,000 really considered a lot to spend on a present?
No, probably not. It just seems like a lot to me. But my brother in law reminded me that most athletes buy million dollar rings. So this was not too much to spend.

No new THE MENTALIST tonight or PRIVATE PRACTICE.

And now I am off to work. Oh well.

travel vibes for BK and all on journeys.
-
TOD: I always thought Grace Slick was the Ethel Merman of her generation, and now that I've seen "A Serious Man," I'm more convinced than ever.
But favorites? There are too many, including some pop stars and r&b stars from those years: Roy Orbison, Blood, Sweat & Tears, the Who, that whole Phil Spector Wall of Sound era (the Ronettes, the Chiffons, the Crystals, you name it), Aretha, Ray Charles, Elvis, Neil Diamond, the Guess Who...
I was a kid then, so all music was new and fresh and vital and formative.

And the word of the day is: ANKH!
Bumpersticker: "ANKH IF YOU LOVE LIFE!"

Last night, DR FJL commented:
"Where is that Jonathan Groff photo from, Matt?
very different look than in his NY musical stage appearances"
It actually is from an NYC stage appearance, from a staged concert he did last fall in NYC in which he played a Greek god. Can't remember the name of the play, but Marilyn Stasio in VARIETY mentioned he was cute but not a god. I beg to differ.
BTW, on GLEE this week, he looked to have put on some muscle and have filled out some compared to this photo. He looked about ten pounds heavier. Yes, I know they say the TV camera adds ten pounds, but this appeared to be muscle.

Wow...can't believe I finally figured out my password. It's been awhile.
I got a shout-out in the notes! *happy dance* AND I get to finally meet Mr. BK today. I always knew it would happen, but I thought it would be in LA at Musso & Frank, or perhaps NYC's Joe Allen, rather than Indianapolis's westside. The venue matters not a whit, however. I'm still unspeakably excited.
DR Ben, JMK, Jane (and anyone else still on here from the many moons ago when I was a regular), could you send me messages with your info so I can make you Facebook friends? That's where I spend most of my online life these days.
Safe journey, BK. :-)

Welcome back Lulu!
-
Posting from the airport. We board in about thirty minutes. The drive was fast, got through security fast (although I had no idea we had to take the toiletries plastic pouch OUT of the luggage - that was now and a little annoying, but I got it out in time but was so flustered that I forgot to take off my shoes. Got those off in the nick of time, too.
-
I'll post again during the two-hours I'm in Houston.
-
Hey! Lulu! Nice to see you again!
-
Cilla, my buck up comment was vis a vis you having a bad day. I just mentioned the cat guy as a joke, but you had posted about him before my response. ;)
-
Also, the new house has walls of windows, so getting a 1 inch high CD case seems unworkable. ;)
-
DR FJL - That pic of Jonathan Groff that DR MattH posted last night is from his appearance on "Glee" (last night)... I think. However... He sort of looked that way last summer in Central Park during The Bacchae. He had his own "pre-show" on the stage of the Delacorte which included changing out of a pair of wet jeans... :)
That's the show! The pic definitely was not from GLEE.
-
Good morning!
Very pleasant morning and should be a nice day overall. We aren't supposed to have any rain until Saturday.
-
TOD:
The closest I got to rock and roll was BYE BYE BIRDIE and HAIR during the 1960s. Of course, I still heard plenty of it around the house since my brother was into it and Motown and the Beatles. But none of it made truly firm impressions on my mind. I was too busy reveling in MAME, SWEET CHARITY, and all of the older Broadway shows that had been recorded.
-
I'll be working on TOMBSTONE on Blu-ray today. Thank you, DIsney, for an almost two week lead time on getting the discs watched and written up. It does make a difference in scheduling my time wisely.
-
I'll be doing my usual Friday errands today since the grocery store where I go has put items on sale for the week that are usually only on sale on Friday. Since I'm having lunch out today with friends, it means I can have a leisure day tomorrow and not have to clean up to go out.
-
There are new episodes of BONES and SUPERNATURAL and PROJECT RUNWAY and FLASH FORWARD for me tonight. THE MENTALIST is a rerun but I'll record it anyway. I just love the show.
THE OFFICE and GREY'S ANATOMY are both repeats, too.
-
I hope bk has safe travel to his destination and back this weekend.
-
I'll post again during the two-hours I'm in Houston.
Wave as you fly over Austin.
-
I'm getting used to a two-monitor situation at the office. I used to have one screen and since the bloodletting 6 months ago there are many empty desks with unused computers. They (the proverbial "they") said if we want to have two monitors to make viewing easier we can do so. I have a couple of different programs open that have to be minimized at some point so I thought I would try it.
So far, so good. It meant rearranging things on my desk (not my desktop) but it does make it easier. I just have to make sure I know where I put the cursor from the mouse!
-
I'm heading downstairs now to finish cleaning up to run my errands and then go to lunch with friends.
WBBL.

I didn't start collecting those until the mid-seventies, when I started getting some pocket money and after discovering "A Little Night Music." They quickly took over, though I still developed a taste for Springsteen and a few others from then.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm glad I found some caffeinated coffee in my parents' cupboard.
-
MattH- As I'm fond of saying, the camera does indeed add ten pounds - and in most photos of me in the past couple of years, I'm sure I've had five or six cameras on me at the time.
(That's my Totie Fields-like story, and I'm sticking with it. :) )
-
Travel vibes galore to BK
-
Cilla, my buck up comment was vis a vis you having a bad day. I just mentioned the cat guy as a joke, but you had posted about him before my response. ;)
I knew what you were talking about, but after talking to cat guy felt much better so no longer a bad day ;)
-
That Stasio review that he's cute but not a god reminds me of a review of someone playing Cliff in CABARET that IIRC (I'm going from memory) said the performer sang well and was attractive and likable enough, but somehow didn't seem to have what it takes to be the toast of one continent, let alone two continents.
(I'm sure I have the EXACT wording of the quote wrong, since it's not coming up on google, but that was the gist.)

Thursday morning greetings! We had a delightful time last night listening to Robert Osborne. We didn't stay for the reception and book-signing, but enjoyed his stories and answers to questions from the audience.
Today, I've been to have my hair cut and now I'm getting ready to make pumpkin pies for tonight's book group meeting. Pumpkin was one of two food references I found in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency; the other was mopani worms and I decided that my friends and family would rather have pumpkin pie.
DR DakotaCelt arrived in Cincinnati last night, according to the message that her husband sent me on Facebook. She and I will try to connect by phone today to make our plans for either tomorrow or Saturday.

Travel vibes to BK! I usually say "Wave when you fly over Ohio" but according to his route, flying over Ohio would mean they're off course.

I'm telling you, FJL, I felt my face inflate the instant the Department of Motor Vehicle camera snapped for my driver's license photo.

As long as you tell your friends that to tried to find the worms but couldn't, then you'll be OK.

The more and more I see the neighbors' cat, the more I'm convinced he thinks he's a dog. He's enjoying being out in the rain right now. And he loves rolling over to have his belly petted. He also comes when he's called. I've never seen these charateristics in a feline before.

LULU'S BACK IN TOWN

Pleasant meeting vibes for DR LULU and MR BK this evening.
Miss Adrienne will be joining us at the theatre Friday evening but will not be with us for dinner....so it will be a stag event tomorrow night.

DR John G - LOL!

DR JohnG, my cat Freddy is like that. He even plays fetch, which my dog will not.
-
DR Lulu, how wonderful to see you on HHW again after all these years!!!
-
BK, have a wonderful trip!!

We ended the McGlinnventory around 11:15, when we had accumulated so much garbage in trash bags that we could not move around the office. I ran my errands, and now I have several tasks to accomplish around the apartment.
-
Oy, what a morning of complications. Traffic was a nightmare. Even getting off the freeway alleviated none of the problems. Then I went to Borders to utilize the 40% off coupon and a gift card I had, and unfortunately I got a braindead clerk (sorry, TD) who completely messed up the order. I was there for almost 45 minutes.

For Ginny:
A projected shortage of canned pumpkin was announced last fall:
NY TIMES (http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/17/libbys-warns-of-a-canned-pumpkin-shortage/)
Since the major comerical pumpkin crops are just once a year, we can presume the shortage will continue until next fall.
Darn, now everyone will run out & stock up on pumpkin before I can.

Well... Regardless of the current shortage, finding cans of pumpkin purée "out of season" can usually require some sleuthing. -Just like trying to find cans of cranberry sauce. -At least in my experience. ;)

That gives me hope the movie might come here. If so I might go to a theater for the first time in ages. I won't be taking my name off the library queue until after I have read the book. I'm 34th out of 74 holds, for one book. I'm impressed your library will be getting 30 copies.

Bruce, you have flown since the liquid restrictions began. It has always been you had to take the plastic bag out and have it ready. How you managed to avoid doing so before now is amazing.

It actually is from an NYC stage appearance, from a staged concert he did last fall in NYC in which he played a Greek god. Can't remember the name of the play, but Marilyn Stasio in VARIETY mentioned he was cute but not a god. I beg to differ.
BTW, on GLEE this week, he looked to have put on some muscle and have filled out some compared to this photo. He looked about ten pounds heavier. Yes, I know they say the TV camera adds ten pounds, but this appeared to be muscle.
Actually, the last time I saw Jonathan Groff in person - which was just a few weeks ago - it just looked like he was finally losing the "baby fat" from his face. I mean, he is just 25-years old. ;)

Posting from the airport. We board in about thirty minutes. The drive was fast, got through security fast (although I had no idea we had to take the toiletries plastic pouch OUT of the luggage - that was now and a little annoying, but I got it out in time but was so flustered that I forgot to take off my shoes. Got those off in the nick of time, too.

Here I am in Houston and now have ninety minutes before the flight to Indianapolis. Not getting an aisle seat - oh, well - at least I'm toward the front of the plane. As to the toiletries - I've flown quite a bit for the last three years and not ONCE have I EVER been asked to remove the ziploc bag from my luggage, and not ONCE have they ever flagged the bag to do so. So, today was the first time I had to do it, and maybe I didn't have to - I just saw the gal in front of me do it and made an assumption. Now that I think about it, not one other person in front of us did it.

Too bad Continental doesn't do direct flights to Indianapolis.

Our plane landed in terminal E. The next plane takes off from terminal B. This required walking what seemed like a mile to some shuttle train that then took us to terminal B. Hopefully they won't change the gate.

Welcome to Houston, bk! Too bad you can't cut out of the airport for a bit to check out Houston's House of Pies. I believe they are related to the HoP in Los Feliz, or, at the very least, were related at one point. Sort of the same menu and graphics.
As for your toiletries.. Well... I've left them in my bag a few times too, and sometimes they've just gone through the scanner without any issue. I think it may all depend on the TSA agents at your checkpoint and the current security level. The TSA just wants all of your liquids in one place, one bag. Even when you take them out of your luggage, you can still place them in a bin with your luggage, jackets, shoes, etc. They just want it easily accessible should it/you require any further inspection.

Well, Houston - and I'm guessing you're at IAH and not Hobby since you're flying Continental - is actually the main hub and HQ of Continental. -It's also the main gateway airport for flights to and from Mexico. It's always busy there.

Anyhoo...
Since it's already the three o'clock hour here on the East Coast, that means it's my time to head out for a bit of sun and fresh air, and then to the theatre for tonight's show.

Jennifer, a friend at book group yesterday told me she returned from a trip with a copy of THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST. Guess what I get to read once she is done!!!!
Yeah! I am happy for you. I know you've waited a lot longer than i have to read this. Hopefully your friend is a fast reader!
Btw, if you can't find a recap and need my book 2 recap i can email it to you. I found a really good book spoiler site for another book that i had read that i needed a recap of. Unfortunately they don't have this book.
Can't wait to read this one myself. I was 94 among reservations at the library yesterday (about of 30 copies). And the movie of "Dragon Tattoo" opens here Friday.
That gives me hope the movie might come here. If so I might go to a theater for the first time in ages. I won't be taking my name off the library queue until after I have read the book. I'm 34th out of 74 holds, for one book. I'm impressed your library will be getting 30 copies.
In a city of 1.3 million, that's an OK amount.

I was lucky in the rain today. It's pouring like crazy out there, and after lunch I ducked into a used CD shop. Found the studio album of "Lucky in the Rain" for $2.98 and three other CDs I didn't have. One was "Liza's Back," which was only $4.98 but new. Now I can hear Wayne Newton singing all those songs she lip-synced.

DR John G, that is a good number of people under one library system.
San Antonio has only one library system, and it is the seventh largest city in the nation. And people do use the library system -- a lot. My neighborhood branch is sometimes so busy I have a hard time finding a parking space.
But the libraries here are also different from most places I've lived. They are occasionally built next to parks or hiking trails, then landscaped so that you want to check out the books, then take a walk through the wildflowers or let the kids play on the swings, etc. It's a little more of a community center, and it has a lot of programs for kids, so you'll see plenty of families taking advantage.

We were disappointed with GLEE. As much as we enjoyed the Vogue thing at the end we had no idea what it was for, not that I'm complaining.
I was not disappointed with GLEE overall. The show has been off for four months, and they had to do an episode that reestablished the show's central movers and shakers, cram in some musical numbers, and introduce two new characters in addition to giving face time to some changes in relationships. My biggest disappointment was that Matthew Morrison didn't get to sing Diamond's "Hello, Again" on his own instead of barely singing along to the recording. Overall, I thought the episode did a good job (not great, mind you) in jump starting the show for the last third of its season.
But the writing was as sassy as ever, and the melodramatic plot strands which are a hallmark of the show were revved back up: different players now in some of the antics, but the tone is still what it was.
"Vogue," of course, was a preview for next week's all-Madonna song episode of the show.

Before I left for lunch, I did get my errands run and then had time to watch the season premiere of THE BIG GAY SKETCH SHOW on Logo. The parody of THE AMAZING RACE with all "heterosexual" contestants had me constantly laughing as they stumbled around various NYC sites.
-
Lunch started late and ran very long, so when I got in, I didn't have time to do anything except watch TOMBSTONE. It has a simply brilliant cast of actors. Val Kilmer steals every scene as Doc Holiday in what must be his best-ever film performance. I didn't even remember Dana Delany being in this. But all these actors who have gone on to great fame pop up in fairly small roles (Thomas Haden Church, Jason Priestley, Jon Tenney). Just marvelous.
I don't usually care much for Cosmatos as a director, but he does a professional job here.
I still don't think this holds a candle to Costner's WYATT EARP or MY DARLING CLEMENTINE (which has a lot of fictional elements to it but is such a classic.)
-
Didn't get any of the bonus features watched. Looks like there are three making of featurettes, some director storyboards, and the trailers and TV ads, so that shouldn't take much of my time tonight.

I have spent the afternoon playing at the computer, checking blank CDs and DVDs from the McGlinnventory. I did have some good finds that I did not have in my McGlinn performance files: complete performances of BRIGADOON, with Rebecca Luker, Brent Barrett, and Judy Kaye, and HMS PINAFORE from the 1996 City Opera season, Angelina Reaux singing the score for Weill's MARIE GALANTE, McGlinn and Kim Criswell performing "Omaggio a George Gershwin" in Modena, Italy, and two copies of an EMI promo DVD with interviews and bits of sessions from ANYTHING GOES, KISS ME KATE, BRIGADOON, ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, and SHOW BOAT.

The more and more I see the neighbors' cat, the more I'm convinced he thinks he's a dog. He's enjoying being out in the rain right now. And he loves rolling over to have his belly petted. He also comes when he's called. I've never seen these charateristics in a feline before.
I'm sure the cat knows he's not a dog. :) My cats like their tummies rubbed, especially Boo

I'm not really the executor; I didn't want the position and turned it down twice. I am working with the executor since I was one of McGlinn's closest friends until our 2002 fallout. I'm running on guilt.
I love the von Stade Rodgers & Hart album; It's one of my favorites. I have half a chart on it for "You're Nearer," but it's jampacked with wonderful songs and fantastically inventive arrangements: the celesta part in the glorious "Moon of my Delight" is a delight, and "If I Were You," with its backup Nightingale Chorus can always cheer me right up.

And of course Jane's Madonna was inspired.

And the actual novel "The Son of the Grand Eunuch" is even more bizarre and very much like Voltaire's CANDIDE! I still don't know how they ever thought there was a musical in it. I sort of feel the same about CANDIDE, although I think it's a brilliant score.

I liked this week's show. I liked idina menzel. I liked jonathan groff a lot. My one big complaint would be with how they wrote matthew morrison's character. I did not think that his character would make out with idina. He just started dating red-head. I thought their "hello again" dance was really romantic. And then she won't sleep with him after one date and then all of a sudden he's telling idina's character that things weren't working out. I think the advice she gave him to get to know himself was good. But i really did not care for the writers having him make out with her before she told him that. HE had been pining for emma for the entire series. I jjust found his actions really lame. I was glad she also told him to take some time.

Sounds nice. Are dogs allowed on the walks? When we moved here we used to take Echo into the library. Once they passed the no dogs rule I stopped going. When I began using the library again it had been so long my card had expired.
BTW, we have a Carnegie library. I attempted to find a photo of the original library which has since been added on to.

Not bloody well likely:
He [Matt Murphy, who has acquired the stage rights to Michael Blake's 1986 book] called Dances With Wolves, the musical, "an epic dramatic musical." A large cast and expansive design elements are envisioned.
"There is no way to do Dances With Wolves, which is essentially a Western on stage, without it being spectacular and epic in scope," Murphy said.

And speaking of Kevin Costner...EXCLUSIVE: Dances With Wolves, the Musical, Is On the Horizon (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/138756-EXCLUSIVE-Dances-With-Wolves-the-Musical-Is-On-the-Horizon).
I hope they cut the running length by a few days.
Not bloody well likely:
He [Matt Murphy, who has acquired the stage rights to Michael Blake's 1986 book] called Dances With Wolves, the musical, "an epic dramatic musical." A large cast and expansive design elements are envisioned.
"There is no way to do Dances With Wolves, which is essentially a Western on stage, without it being spectacular and epic in scope," Murphy said.

Lunch started late and ran very long, so when I got in, I didn't have time to do anything except watch TOMBSTONE. It has a simply brilliant cast of actors. Val Kilmer steals every scene as Doc Holiday in what must be his best-ever film performance. I didn't even remember Dana Delany being in this. But all these actors who have gone on to great fame pop up in fairly small roles (Thomas Haden Church, Jason Priestley, Jon Tenney). Just marvelous.

DR Matt H, I agree with your comments about Human Target & the guest cast. As for Modern Family, while they all make me laugh, Cam for his exuberance makes me laugh the most.
We were disappointed with GLEE. As much as we enjoyed the Vogue thing at the end we had no idea what it was for, not that I'm complaining.
It what ways were you disappointed in GLEE? The Vogue thing is just a preview for next week's Madonna show, where it should make sense.
By now you have seen my response to Ron. I don't follow Madonna so I wasn't aware the Vogue thing was all about her.

That's not too bad.

DR Laura, I enjoy your walks. :)
Keith was very excited he finally saw a Pileated Woodpecker while we hike. I've seen them before. We did not have our camera, not that it mattered as the woodpecker flew away too quickly.

New Yorkers, eat cupcakes while supporting Best Friends Animal Rescue (http://news.bestfriends.org/index.cfm?page=news&mode=entry&entry=FCC44038-B57D-9B29-C7C04610C52A6C01&utm_source=delivra&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Animals%20are%20blooming!)
The ubiquitous Crumbs Bake Shop in New York City has baked a batch of something special for the charities participating in the Live Your Best Life Weekend, a celebration of O, the Oprah Magazine’s 10th anniversary.
The bakery has created a special, limited-time-only cupcake for the Live Your Best Life Weekend. For each one the business sells from now until May 18, it will donate $1 to the ten charities represented at the Walk on May 9. That means that Best Friends receives 10 cents for every cupcake sold, and that’s no small change given the brisk business the bakery conducts from each of its 12 New York locations. Crumbs estimates that it can sell between 2,500 and 3,000 special cupcakes weekly.

Tonight I'm going to the placard hearings to see if we can save some old buildings that the city wants to tear down.
Hopefully we can at least save the synagogue. I hear it really isn't in that bad of shape
They Kill Dogs, They Kill Pigeons, They Tear Down Houses.....They are the City Council....run for your lives
I've never seen a synagogue like that. The building is great-VIBES IT IS NOT TORN DOWN!!!
Will you be sharing a link to an article tomorrow with your quote? :)
Not sure I'll be saying anything. There will be quite a few people there. I'm on the board of the group referred to in the article and a number of the other board members will be there including the man who hates cats. I've spoken up for buildings in the past. I did research for one fo the mansions and I provided it to a guy who is supposedly a nut case. He's been emailing me all day wanting me to speak up for the house, but other than the historical research I gave him, I'm not sure there is much to say. We'll see.

I have arrived in Indiana, where the weather is quite warm and nice. I cabbed it to the hotel and I am now ensconced in a really nice room - this room in NY would probably cost about $350 - here it's under 100. I'm gonna go downstairs and have a bite to eat, since all I had earlier was a paper egg, paper potatoes (tiny), fruit, tiny piece of ham, and a biscuit. I'm ready for something a little more real.

I must say, I forgot how teeny=tiny everything looks on the laptop.

I don't understand how someone rushing behind someone who is backing out can't be held at least partly responsible.

Oy, what a morning of complications. Traffic was a nightmare. Even getting off the freeway alleviated none of the problems. Then I went to Borders to utilize the 40% off coupon and a gift card I had, and unfortunately I got a braindead clerk (sorry, TD) who completely messed up the order. I was there for almost 45 minutes.
Don't blame me, blame Jose!

I do my best to do that, especially now. Years ago, thanks to a friend, I got in the habit of backing in when possible. You just have to be careful there aren't signs saying you can't back in. We got a ticket one raining night when Keith did that.

I talked on the phone earlier with DR DakotaCelt and we decided it wouldn't be wise for us to try to get over there for tomorrow evening's performance. It would be close to 2am Saturday before she's get back to her hotel in Cincinnati and she's has to be bright and bubbly to be on a panel at 9. We're going to explore some of Cincinnati tomorrow afternoon/early evening.

DR Matt H, I agree with your comments about Human Target & the guest cast. As for Modern Family, while they all make me laugh, Cam for his exuberance makes me laugh the most.
We were disappointed with GLEE. As much as we enjoyed the Vogue thing at the end we had no idea what it was for, not that I'm complaining.
I was not disappointed with GLEE overall. The show has been off for four months, and they had to do an episode that reestablished the show's central movers and shakers, cram in some musical numbers, and introduce two new characters in addition to giving face time to some changes in relationships. My biggest disappointment was that Matthew Morrison didn't get to sing Diamond's "Hello, Again" on his own instead of barely singing along to the recording. Overall, I thought the episode did a good job (not great, mind you) in jump starting the show for the last third of its season.
But the writing was as sassy as ever, and the melodramatic plot strands which are a hallmark of the show were revved back up: different players now in some of the antics, but the tone is still what it was.
"Vogue," of course, was a preview for next week's all-Madonna song episode of the show.
Of course, except I didn't get it.
Last season we had the Will & Fin parallel stories of the pregnancies, now we seem to be doing the same with their need to find themselves after their break-ups. I hope you are right they are transitioning, because right now it seems to be the same as last season. I didn't realize the two new characters were here to stay. Do you know this as fact?
Did you ever see Madonna's "Vogue" music video. If you had, you'd get it.
Jonathan's contract was for eight episodes of the nine episodes in the second half of season one. (We are still in season one, by the way. This is not season two.) Idina's appearances will not be as frequent, but she does have a recurring role and will be back off and on for the rest of this season.
As for Will's kissing of Idina, Emma had already turned him down, he's had a loveless marriage for quite some time (remember Terri wouldn't allow any sex during her five months of "pregnancy,"), and I suspect his emotions are a raging roller coaster. I think you ladies are being far too hard on him.
-
When I went downstairs, I watched the bonus features on the TOMBSTONE Blu-ray. There were less than 45 minutes of them, so I was done fairly quickly with it.
-
I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. More softening of the tensions and a build up of feelings between Luke and Reid which I found very exciting to see.
Of course, they were not in the previews for tomorrow. Get a relationship on the road to something interesting and you get cut off at the knees. Dumb move, writers!

Next I watched last night's UGLY BETTY. I wept during big chunks of it. It featured beautiful writing and some wonderful resolutions for the storylines to end the stories on positive notes. I was actually quite excited for Betty and Daniel. We don't know where they're headed, but it should be an adventure, and with their four year history, they are already starting out far ahead of the game in terms of dating if that's where THEY want it to go. But the writers were smart to leave it open ended - it can go the way the viewer wants it to go.
-
Before BONES started, I had about thirty minutes to kill so I began rewatching the American Masters program ON CUKOR which I always find entertaining. I'll finish it tomorrow.
-
Like Donald and Ann Marie on THAT GIRL!
-
I enjoyed BONES tonight as Brennen went back to investigate a crime which happened in her hometown where her high school class was having a reunion. Her uneasy relationships with the cruel kids in her class was fun and funny, and it was a fair mystery though I suspected the killer from the beginning (though I didn't have a clue as to motive right away).
Always enjoy seeing Wendell as the intern, by far the sexiest and most appealing of the group.
-
I ended my evening viewing with tonight's 100th episode of SUPERNATURAL. Some suspense and some humor, too, and some genuine emotion once again delivered by Jensen Ackles who has really grown as an actor during his five years on this show. Misha Collins also had some prime moments as Castiel which I enjoyed.
-
Lunch started late and ran very long, so when I got in, I didn't have time to do anything except watch TOMBSTONE. It has a simply brilliant cast of actors. Val Kilmer steals every scene as Doc Holiday in what must be his best-ever film performance.
Kilmer's excellent, but the truth is that, in any telling of the O.K. Corral saga, Doc Holliday is always the scene stealing role.

*The theatre company had sort of inadvertently ended up programming "against" themselves tonight. Not only was tonight the second night of "The Brassy Broads of Broadway", but it was also the night of their special fund-raiser featuring Miss(?) Coco Peru at Nations, a "special interest" establishment. However, the remaining three performance of "BBB" are almost sold out.

Emma didn't turn him down. Why would he expect to have sex with her during their first date?? When i saw that scene i thought there is no way a woman could have written that. He is supposed to be the good guy, the moral compass for the show. I really found how they had him act appalling. Especially since the vibe of their "hello again" dance was so sweet (up until she said she would not sleep with him that night). I think it's fine if they cool things down. But it really bothered me how they wrote those scenes.

Well... Even though it was their first "real date", it's not like it was the first time they met. They just came out of a whole semester of sexual tension.
And, even though it was written by a man, I'm sure that a woman could have come up with that same scenario. -Have you ever checked the writing staff for soap operas?
