And the word of the day is: MISOGAMY!
And the word of the day is: MISOGAMY!Sounds like a bad Japanese Miso soup in which the tofu has curdled. (Though how can you tell bad tofu from good?)
I never watched a single episode of this last run of PROJECT RUNWAY. I don't know why. I just didn't.You have a life?
I think what I object to is taking foods and trying to make them into something else. If you are vegan and opposed to eating pig, why would you create something that reminds you of bacon? Why make mayonnaise that has no eggs in it?

one of our hangouts when Amy is here, had an incident this past week.
At least we don't go there late at night!

TOD:
DVD: Extract, a comedy from Mike Judge, creator of "King of the Hill."
CD: Haines His Way
Car CD: Disc 3 of "American Gods." (Thankfully, Miss Becky Sharp and "Vanity Fair" have been put to rest.)
MP3: "Sugar." The way it should always have sounded.
Next week Lovely Amy will be in town along with some Jews playing Baseball.

I've actually wondered the same thing time and again whenever I go to a vegetarian restaurant. Why "remind" yourself of the foods you gave up eating for personal health and/or ethical reasons?
bk - As far as vegan food being low-cal, well... Since nuts and grains are usually "calorie dense"... But it's all about the portion size... Or how much you ate before you stopped eating it because it tasted so bad. ;)
Last night we had a chili feed / chili contest at our apartment building. Good food and good company! 3 of the four ladies (Vee, Sally, and Virginia) who live along my wing of the 4th floor were there, so I mostly hung out with them...I have really nice neighbors.
BK, when you see Linda Purl and Gregory Harrison, ask Linda if Gregory will be coming with her when she comes to Salem in April!
I am looking forward to seeing her show, and if Gregory will be in the show...well, all the better, since I have long been a fan of his (although I had no idea he even sang).
Vibes for FJL!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am only interested in his voice, DR Elmore.
It sounds like BK may have gone to Real Food Daily. I ate there recently and didn't care for it at all. I am a vegetarian and like veggie food--I have zero desire for meat. But RFD tries to make vegan food taste like "your old favorites", ie, meat. sigh. That's not what it's about!! At least, not for me.
A vegan place that I like very much is Native Foods. A friend and I go there a lot.

The Fed Ex man was great! The nine cartons are out of my apartment and the actor playing Ben Stone in the Kennedy Center production of FOLLIES is stopping by to return some CDs.And Gregory H. has played Benjamin Stone in "Follies." So, all the world is a circle. Wait, wrong musical. Severely wrong musical.

Because if you previously ate those foods you still miss the taste. I eat soy bacon & hot dogs occasionally when I can find the brands I like.
Off to the Unemployment Insurance hearing in 28 minutes - this (I guess first) hearing will be by phone.Many vibes. And yes, that was one of the better numbers in that lively score.
(Wasn't there a REALLY GOOD song "Now we're here for the hearing" in THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE GOES PUBLIC?)

George Guidell, who is doing a good job with it. Really fun. But that could actually be the book.

I miss the taste of coffee, but decaf can't replicate the mouthfeel of fully caffeinated, so I drink something else. Likewise, carob tastes nothing like chocolate. Carob tastes more like dirt than anything else. And since I'm from Kentucky, I do know what dirt tastes like.
I think I've listened for at least 200 books he's recorded. My favorite was the Wally Lamb "I Know This Much Is True."TOD:

George Guidell is fabulous! On our 25th wedding anniversary, Richard and I toured the Recorded Books, Inc. studios and had the honor of observing him in the recording booth. He was very gracious to us and great fun to watch as he recorded Nathaniel Philbrick's Mayflower.

I have never known anyone who could tell the difference between decaf & regular except for the caffeine buz. I tried carob & would rather do without.
Topic of the Day:
In my CD player: the original Broadway cast recording of Sondheim on Sondheim, then a audio compilation CD of video clips of The Manhattan Transfer for a friend of mine.
In my DVD player: Fosse from Netflix.
On my DVR: the 1933 movie, "Anthony Adverse." My niece asked if I could record this on TCM and make a DVD for her. I can, so I am.
Had a turkey sandwich and onion rings and picked up no packages and decided to let the envelope that's there wait until tomorrow. I think I'm going to have to pass on Barry's short film tomorrow - I've got a ton of bills to pay and I have to do that.
Welcome twenty-five GUESTS. What is THAT about?
I'm up and shall await the arrival of Miss Purl and Mr. Harrison.

My wife had some minor surgery on her hand (trigger finger) this morning, and this is the first time I've had to sit down since we got home.
She's okay, sleeping now, but it did take awhile for her to come out of the anesthetic.
We use whichever one has that Emerald Isle option, is that National? That way you can pick your own car.
Well, I think it's safe to announce that Mr Ron Raines is playing Ben Stone in FOLLIES; the contract came through today. I didn't want to jinx it by announcing it before things were in place.

On another note, I've got to rent a car in Ohio and I need to know the DRs' opinions on the best and least expensive rentals. I thought the car I rented two years ago was way too high for a week, but I can't remember which company I used!
Someone on Facebook posted the following photograph of me - what it is I have no idea, really, but for those who've read my short story Maddie, or the new book, I talk about the motorscooter accident that caused me a broken arm. Well, from 1965, here's living proof:

TCB, my dear, YOU are always looking good.
I thought it was Ron Raines but I didn't want to say anything.
I'm very glad. I'm planning a trip to DC to see that production. Elaine Paige as Carlotta doesn't sound right to me but the other casting is great.

I would like to formally thank DR Cilla for sticking the Armour Hot Dog Song in my head all day.
Ricky and I are in the living room. Only a couple howling hissing matches and he refuses to go back upstairs. He'll have to before the night is over. He's going to have to be in there all day after his next treatment. But he's having a blast and the girls are really pretty ticked off. They haven't killed him yet, though, so we're on track

How is he refusing? Does he scream "No no" when you carry him up the stairs? I wanna know!
I just spent a delightul 30 minutes watching some familiar old coot play a high school principal with a stick up his butt. It was a charming performance. I think he shows promise and might work again. I was wondering how much of his dapper costumes was wardrobe and what came from his own closet? I recommend it to all DRs.

I must say that cat has a ton of energy. I think he'll mellow out when I can finally get him neutered.
And....? ;D

I posted it on my Facebook We have a pit bull ban in Sioux City. Hope people read it
What, the pit bull ban?
What, the pit bull ban?
Yes.
I have never heard about a suit against a child. Against the parents, yes, the 6 year old, no
Thanks everybody to the positive vibes for my wife.
She's doing very well.
I do have 3 dvds to watch this weekend. Has anybody seen any of these
Killers.
Letters to Juliet.
The Ghost Writer.

Or, at least, his throat!

Rates vary all the time. I would check the internet for sales & see who has the best price. A smaller car will cost less. Expedia or Travelocity might have better prices but don't count on it. Always compare the discount sites to what the rental companies have.
My library seems to have lost 3 of my movie reservations. :(
It sort of sucks because we're not allowed to reserve movies, unless we suggest them. But we have to do this on slips of paper. I guess it's a miracle they don't lose more of the slips.
It will probably turn out okay. Every other time this has happened they've always given me the reservation (since they know me and I keep a detailed list of everything i request). it's just a pain.
I'm now leaving work to work concessions for a performance by Ruthie Foster and Eric Bibb called Thanks for the Joy (http://wcpa.squarespace.com/upcoming-events/2010/10/29/thanks-for-the-joy.html). It sounds like it'll be a swell evening. :)
Until later!
