And the word of the day is: NEPENTHE!
Good morning, all! I forgot to set the alarm and I overslept. I was having a peculiar and frustrating dream in which I wandered around my apartment in search of a dry towel for my bath and I coud find none. My roommates in this dream were Zak Stains and Peter Clem, a friend I've not seen in about ten years. There was also another person in this dream helping me to unpack and put things away, so I gather I'd just moved into this place. Very strange.But the line in the original "Hairspray," uttered by Miss Penny Pingleton, aka the checkerboard chick, was, "I'm going to a hootenany in Harlem!"
So, this morning I have the McGlinnventory followed by an editing session with Mr Skip Kennon. I've been invited to a hootenany tonight hosted by David Lutkin and I hope I can go. It's in midtown, and DJ said he would email me the address today.
I see we're having connection problems this morning.
TOD - I don't remember any specific episodes until someone else describes them.
Penny, that patient is none other than Miss Ellie May, Donna Douglas.
It was Lois Nettleton, DR JMK.....
People always holler when you touch their sore spot.
Loved "Twilight Zone." And I have a book somewhere that breaks down every original episode with title, cast, synopsis and notes. That said, I don't know the titles of most of my favorites. Of course, being a foodie, there's "To Serve Mankind." Then there's the one with Burgess Meredith as the bookworm who ends up all alone in the work and it's filled with books, except he'll loose or break his glasses by the end of the episode and realize he's in a hell of his own.
And the word of the day is: NEPENTHE!
Vibes to Little Ricky! My cow cat Elmo turned out to have ringworm after I adopted him. I didn't realize how contagious it was, so we were lucky it went no further than him, since we adopted him along with Bailey and back then they were very snuggly with each other.
Awwww...Bailey just brought me a toy mouse. He wants to play!
Thank goodness the GAP is going back to its original logo! I don't think they realize the criticism is really directed at THEM not at the change.....

vibes to our dear TD...
Twilight Zone - the one where the deformed woman's plastic surgery didn't work, they take off her bandages, shock and horror all 'round. She'll never look normal. Then, pull back and see a classically beautiful 'patient' surrounded by grotesque 'normal' people...
Also, the guy who wants to be left the hell alone with his books... upshot, he's the only survivor of a cataclsmc event... nothing but time alone with his books! Huzzah! Then he breaks his reading glasses. Oy...
and the one where the little brat - with a major gift - keeps everyone on their toes to please him..
Guy who can't stand his life gets of the train in another time and place...
and, of course, Shatner on a plane with a gremlin.
RE: last night's DANCING WITH THE STARS
I really liked the acoustics part of the show. But I don't think having them dance in the round was that great. It was too small.
My favorites were Jennifer and Derek (totally amazing) and Audrina and Tony.
My two least favorite celeb dancers (The Situation and Bristol Palin) I thought were sort of wrongly berated last night. I actually felt bad for them both. Here they are performing live in front of millions of people. And the judges were really mean to them. I thought that Karina did an amazing routing. The lifts were really good. And the routine was really fun to watch.
And Bristol, even though she's stiff as a board. She still tries and has some potential. It's weird because the first week or two i thought that the judges were being way too easy on her. But now I find them being too hard!

OMG, I've been so worried about that logo I haven't been able to sleep!! ;)
Things have been going too swimmingly on the Herbert recording: I got an email from my coloratura soprano who's got a lot of music to record and she's got strep throat and laryngitis and doesn't thonk she can record in next week's sessions. Even worse, her availability dates in November and January don't align with our recording schedule.
So . . . I've emailed our producer Judy to see if we can get oen more day at the Academy on Jan. 8; if not, i've got to find a new coloratura ASAP.
DR GEORGE the South Pacific DVD's arrived today - THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I don't think I've ever seen an episode of Twilight Zone, because it was too scary.

~~~Coloratura Vibes for DR Elmore!!~~~
DR George - I also received a DVD today - thank you!!!
Thank you everyone for the personal vibes, it has been a trying day.
Miss Dixie's trip to the vet, including my personal SINUS issue (at least it wasn't digestive), was met with good and not-so-good news.
The positive side is that she is showing no signs of glaucoma.
The not-very-positive side it that both eyes require more expertise than our vet, the amazing Daniel Murphy, has to offer.
(When Miss Dixie was a pup, there was concern on the vet's part about her sight and hearing since she is almost entirely one color, and both or her eyes are blue; evidently in huskies that can be cause for concern, even later in life).
To be on the safe side, Dr. Murphy started Dixie on ten days worth of antibiotic and prednisone and faxed her information to a canine opthamologist.
We have a follow-up appointment with Dr. Murphy next Tuesday, if the meds aren't doing anything for her, we may need to set up an appointment with the ophthalmologist.
So, I say that DD Miss Dixie requires more vibes than her family does right now.
Incidentally, for me, this is one of those pain-free days. I have them every now and then.
Me too, DR CILLA LIZ - and I think we are both in the GAP demographic.
Speaking of weather... it's Indian summer here again.
Man i dont' think I could fit in that capsule. OF course if my options were stay underground and die or fit in the capsule, I'd find a way to fit in the capsule

DR George, thanks for the vibes and the DVD that arrived today.
I think your vibes are very good: our producer has sessions for another recording earlier in the week of November and she thinks we can squeeze ou ill singer into some time slots to record her material then. Everyone, keep them fingers crossed!
DR George, thanks so much for the dvds. I'm keeping my eye out for fun keychains....
We had a DR who was in one of the Twilight shows, didn't we? Which one was she in?
I got packages (and plenty of 'em) today from MBarnum and George. The latter was encased in plastic and came with a letter from the USPS apologizing for mangling the package beyond repair (it also seems to have been moist) - the DVD was fine, however.
Being buried alive is my recurring nightmare. I pray that the rescue goes well and all are brought up safely.
THANK YOU to DR GEORGE!!! I'm looking forward to it. I shall hang onto your address; it may come in handy. ;)

That's what I thought DR CILLA LIZ.....I would think they would notice if that was the case.....they are trained to look for it....vibes for another diagnosis.

I am thinking that since Little Ricky wasn't neutered, he may not have even seen a vet at the shelter. Little Ricky was only there a day, I think Cillaliz said.
I don't think the kittens I get are seen by the shelter vets before I get them. The techs do give them the deworming meds, though. But I don't think a vet examines them.

Given the length of time they've been trapped, I'm quite certain they're all a lot thinner than they were before.

This reminds me of a film I'm about to review, (untitled). Hilarious spoof of that cwazy modren music. :)
Have not ordered the new cd yet, should I ?
Back from the ER. I waited 2 1/2 hours before they would see me. Then they didn't really do anything for the next 2 1/2 hours except give me a drip. They think it may be dehydration or a virus, but they're not sure. Meantime, I'm not able to focus for long stretches and I'm exhausted.
Hopefully things will be a little better in the morning.
Package arrived from George. Thank you. :)
