Funny hats? Could that be the Blizzard of Oz?
And the word of the day is: FULGURATE!
Unless there is a published procedure that you check Email on a particular schedule, you should be able to skip it without penalty.
I used to have have a stated work-place policy: I have Email - it is not EPhone! I usually check Email twice daily at 9 AM and 3PM, plan accordingly!

DR Jennifer ~ Have you been keeping up with SYTYCD this season?
I'm first after BK? When's the last time that happened???
DR Jennifer ~ Have you been keeping up with SYTYCD this season?
Yes. But i'm not sure if i like this all-stars format.
I miss Mary Murphy a lot. And while I like Twitch, Allison and few other all-stars. I don't like that there were only 10 contestants. And they all keep getting injured!
We not nothin' Miss Karen. Nothin'.
I hope you feel better soon, Cillaliz. You've been waiting for this weekend so long!
Excellent vibes and xylophones to Thom re his hip.

Now, okay, the spelling and grammar alone tell you all you need to know. But there's a phone number attached. Why would they do that - isn't it easy to trace? Or is it the real phone number and those poor people are being inundated with calls? This is obviously about identity theft and trying to get your information, but has anyone actually done this? There must be people who have for these cretins to keep sending these out so relentlessly. Maybe I'll call the number.
And the word of the day is: FULGURATE!
Shelly, the director of NEVER TOO LATE, is a very nice lady - BUT she is an organic blocker......."just go where ever you want and let's see what happens....."
I HATE THAT.....
Yeah, I like seeing some of the former contestants and how they keep getting better and better -- "growing" as they call it -- and glad they're giving them jobs -- but it does take time away from the new talent. Mary was entertaining, even if her screaming and hot tamale antics got a little over the top at times. In comment sections on recent stories and on blogs, Mia was really getting blasted for what folks were calling her "mean-spirited" comments -- especially the week she roasted Adechike (sp). Hated to see Alex bite the dust and really hope his injury isn't a career killer -- the top two now I think are Lauren and Kent (except his facial expressions can be a bit of a turn off -- at one point they were getting on him for what they called his "jazz face" -- he really was playing to the audience that week they got on him about it). I really liked Jose early on and how he was "growing", but now his lack of training is starting to show and he's not "growing" like the others. And, yes, what is it with all the injuries this year?
DR JMK I don't know if you found the answer regarding the movie for your review. I finally figured out the Bogart movie I was thinking of:
Angels With Dirty Faces
James Cagney
Humphrey Bogart
Pat O'Brien
Year 1938
Wow. Usually those emails come from Nigeria, BK. Amazing that they are portraying it as coming from the US.
One thing is clear, though -- banks do not EVER give money away.
My friend Jon's audition is in another hour from now, and I hope it goes well. Keep them vibes coming!
I purchased the three "The Girl..." "Millennium" triology by Stieg Larsson yesterday. Although I am reading the complete and unabridged "Bruce Kimmel" at this time, I may have plenty of reading time in the next 10 weeks. My right hip, that was totally replaced in 1989, is beginning to hurt and cause me to take up using a cane. I have tentative replacement (hip revision) surgery scheduled for October 6th, so I should have plenty of reading time during the 10-12 week recovery period.
BK that is funny and stupid that he would complain before even opening the cd!
And if this were an inheritance, you would have received a copy of the will and tons of paperwork long before any payment was to be made.
And many people will fall for it.
DR Laura ~ We got somethin' this mornin' -- a nice little rain -- still lookin' monsoony, so we're hopin' for more up here in P Town this afternoon. Stuff is heading south, so maybe the Valley will get some if it doesn't go more SW.

Actually, you were describing MANHATTAN MELODRAMA (MGM). Gable grows up to be a gangster and Bill Powell become the D.A. and, later, governor.
In ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES, Cagney becomes a gangster & O'Brien becomes a priest.
In THE ROARING TWENTIES, we don't meet the characters until they are grown men and in the army, fighting in WW1. After they are discharged, Cagney becomes a bootlegger and Jeffrey Lynn joins the D.A.'s office.

Hey everybody. Up kinda early, but a lot has been accomplished in a short time. I was awakened early by my body telling me to eject something that wasn't agreeing with me. This is the second time in 2 weeks. I'm hoping most of it is taken care of and we can go on with the day as planned. In the meantime, it will be gatorade and bananas. Today is another jammed packed day. A funeral in the morning, camp in the afternoon, and then a show this eve. Tomorrow, wedding in the morning and then 2 shows. The weekend I'm sure will fly by and before we know it, it will be Sunday evening.
Kittens have been delivered to the clinic. The adoption coordinator will pick them up, so I shan't see them again. :(
Sometimes the adoption coordinator will let me know. Not usually. I check their numbers on the online "see our available pets" list. These guys I won't know about, as four of the five are listed as "brown tabby," so I don't know which number goes to which kitten.
Update on who might play Lisbeth in THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO movie:

ARG!! I'm still feeling really cruddy, sore throat and coughing. Luckily the yard guys and handy men will be doing the work outside, but I really need to clean inside. What I'd like to do is get some sleep. Think I'll take it easy this morning. I'm cutting back the plan. I'll do all the bathrooms and finish the basement first, then move to the main floor. I'm going to just tell everyone that upstairs is off limits. that will cut back what I need to do and will give me a place to put a couple boxes of clutter.
DR Jane, I'm not sure if you will check in today. But we've now had 3 episodes of HOT IN CLEVELAND. And I still like it. To me Betty White is the absolute star of the show. But I still really like Valerie Bertinelli a lot.

And especially if you're dead -- best line of the scam letter: "... our intention for contacting you is to confirm if you are dead ..." Wonder what they'd do if you called them and said yes I'm dead but I still want my money cause I can take it with me ...
I've decided that we're only doing Promises, Promises releases from now on :)Well, it had better come to $23.73 since that's what I just sent you. I wish you'd include the shipping cost in your press release along with the price. Or did I miss it?
Not good. Is that about the average time a hip replacement lasts? What is involved in a revision surgery?
HIP VIBES!!!

HIP VIBES!!!
Thanks for all the good vibes from Kritzerland. In the late 80's hip replacements were estimated to last about 10 years, so I have gotten twice the mileage. Revision surgery is just like the initial hip replacement; they take out the "old" replacement and put in a "new" one. I've already had this done with my left hip. Just call me the bionic man. As an aside, hip surgery is one of the most successful operations in the US. I am thankful for the technology; otherwise I would be wheelchair bound.
You missed it, baby. It's right at the top writ clearly.I sure did! Spoo.
DR Thom with new improvements in technology I hope you get 30 years from the new replacement.

I'm not surprised since you haven't given your body much resting time. I admit, I rested and my summer cold lasted a good while.
Nothing on the horizon (Lost or otherwise).
Chelsea Classics is showing With a Song in My Heart on August 5th. I've never seen the entire movie so I may have toddle over and see Brini Maxwell and Susan Hayward do the Jane Froman story
Funny hats? Could that be the Blizzard of Oz?
We are off to dinner at the local Greek fest - Opa!
I've been using my hoopnotica for 3 days. I really had no idea it would feel so heavy. Or that it would hurt to do it. Or that I could bruise. I am reading their facebook page now. So thankfully I can read what others have gone through. Otherwise I would think I was crazy. I was shocked that it hurt. And need to find some kind of padding for around my waist.
And in a bit of Serendipity, I wasn't too pleased with my yard guy, but I've had him since I moved in and he's an older guy, so I decided to just keep him. Well, he just told me that he can no longer do yards because of his heart. He's not sick right now, but his doc told him if he doesn't quit he could have real problems. So, he gave me a referral and I think my new handy men may do yards. I'm glad I didn't have to fire him...and the yard looks beautiful today.
Ozu? What a funny little name. It almost sounds foreign!
I just allowed Max Preeo to post about our new release on that castrecl group.
I'm sorry about the handyman situation, Cillaliz.

Recorded a lot of oldies this week, which I hope to get watched over the weekend:
WE'RE ON THE JURY (1934)
LADIES OF THE JURY (1932; starring Edna Mae Oliver)

When I try to rest I end up coughing so it is what it is. I'm a little disgusted with the handy men right now. The son came and did weed eating he cleaned a lot up and charged me a little more than I thought he should have, but putting that aside. I asked him to clean up the glass that had been left after they replaced windows. After he left I went around the outside of the house and there was glass everywhere. On all sides of the house...I'm also not that pleased with the way they did the windows, but they are better than they were.
Anyway, I called the boss and asked him to let me know what I owe them now because I'm not going to go over budget and I'll skip the cement if I need to. He has been trying to add to what they are doing every chance he gets, so I decided to nip that in the bud. We'll see what he comes up with. They still have more to do. I'm not at all pleased that I had to do so much clean up after them. To me if you do a job, you do the clean up. Maybe I'm just cranky....our heat index is 103 right now and it wasn't a pleasant job to do.

I hope you told the boss exactly how unhappy you were with the clean-up. And I would have told him, in no uncertain terms, that trying to keep adding things was going to amount to you adding a new handyman!
Is it the Rodgers and Hammerstein Cinderella? I love the television version of it. We saw it live, and it was most unmoving.
And an obsessive moment for me.

We had a good dinner at the Greek fest and saw many friends, but it was too hot and humid to stay outside for long. I had the stuffed pepper dinner, Richard had the Greek lasagna, and Rob had lamb. We all had green beans and orzo as sides, along with salad and rolls. We brought home a box of assorted pastries. Rob has gone to meet some friends for a movie and Richard and I are back in the AC watching BONES.

I have the demo of Promises, Promises and will gladly license it to Bruce for Kritzerland release. :)
Will you be able to copy the referenced FFP script that I asked for? Or is it too fragile.

I was going to email you--I don't think I can, sorry--it's stapled and tearing. However, I have an even better consolation prize for you. It looks very likely I'll have the Kibbee papers in my hot little hand by early August and will send copies of all the Kibbee-Farmer correspondence to you.

Liz Callaway sings it on LOST IN BOSTON 2.
Cut from the score, perhaps because of a preponderance of ballads. A beautiful ballad, it is sung here with moving introspection by Rose Marie Jun. It questions why this intelligent young woman continues in a futile affair with a married man. She asks herself, "When am I ever gonna learn."
In fact I have scads of demo's just lying around here, several of which I had completely forgotten I had but which I found again in the recent move. One of my favorites is the demo for COMPANY where BK's close personal friend Stephen Sondheim decided for some unknown reason to have Another Hundred People arranged and performed by the Ray Conniff Singers (well, maybe not them exactly, but it's that kind of arrangement).
