Jose, I don't believe any cookies or biscottis have shown up here in LA in the mail environment.
What was the name I used to call you during rehearsals - I suddenly can't remember it.
I think this transfer is a step up from what they've been showing in the past - any TIVO experts out there - I started recording just after the credits, but I remember something about the fact that it automatically backs up and records from the beginning if you start in the first five or ten minutes. Is that true?
We can have a Flower Drum Song frenzy!
I'm prone to compulsive behavior, so I most often listen to my cd's in alphabetical order, at least once a year to make sure I listen to all of them because for some reason I have to justify owning the cd. So even though there are some that I struggle to get through again and again, I still do it. Or sometimes when a cd rolls around I don't enjoy, I make sure to play it when I'm in the shower so I don't have to listen to it. I know, it kind of defeats the purpose of why I listen to them, but it justifies it in my head. Sometimes for me, it is best not to question.
Good morning. I had a very restless night, DRs, and may sneak back to bed for 15 minutes. But I did have a terribly interesting and VERY sexy dream about little old me and - wait for it - Mr. Gregory Peck. Why Mr. Gregory Peck, I don't know. I haven't watched any of his movies recently, haven't thought about him recently... But there you go - the mind is a mysterious thing. You'd think I would have been dreaming of wooden chickens.
Okay, 15 more minutes of sack time and the day begins.

Hi all - I've read the notes, but not the posts, which I'll catch up with later. Just wanted to share my website for the new business with you all. I finally have it up and ready to do business. Feel free to check it out.
It's simple, but it will suffice.

btw2, any opinions on last night's new shows: MEDIUM or WHO'S MY DADDY?
It looks like it occurs where ever you use a single quote or a hyphen. You probably need to use some kind of html escape character to represent them in the code.
\ I may have to change the font or fix the punctuation using HTML, any thoughts?

Btw2, any opinions on last night's new shows: MEDIUM or WHO'S MY DADDY? And will anyone be watching the new NBC sitcom COMMITTED? It stars Montrealer Jennifer Finnagan (sp?). So i'll probably watch it at least once.
I never did go back to bed. Sigh. Too much to do.
Dan TM - Interesting dream analysis. May I add I was also called "peckerhead" by someone several times yesterday (fondly - I think) - so that may have contributed to my pleasant dream.
...expires with these words: "It is finished." ;D
Hmm, I guess it's OK for one Jew to crib from another (John 19:30 ).

This is a perfect bookend for me, because yesterday a major plot point was developed in my little writing experiment wherein a wizened old lady, after having met Our Hero, expires with these words: "It is finished." ;D
Thanks. DR's, for the heads-up on the punctuation. The font is Arial, but for some reason, those charactors are not happening. I may have to change the font or fix the punctuation using HTML, any thoughts?
The Biblical allusion is/was overt. And to quote another Jew, Isidor Strauss, that's just the tip of the iceberg. (Sorry, bad taste, but you've come to expect that from me). ;)
Don't tell me: "The Stations of the Cross - The Musical"
der Brucer
GROOOOOOOOOAN! I just looked up Izzy - tip of the iceberg indeed!
I once wrote a musical wherein the leading character actress, reunited with her long lost family, said "I'm so happy I could die," had a stroke, keeled over, and the company sang the Finale over her corpse.
Our Echo is gone. The vet came to the house along with our pet sitter who works for her. We sat outside on the deck and held her. It was very peaceful.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Hmm...I should read all posts before posting...I inadvertently copied MBarnum
Btw, did anyone see the Dynasty show the other night? I started watching and thought it was hilarious.I think they intended it to be tongue in cheek. Too bad they couldn't have done more with it.

DRvixmom - This was in my list of 10 CD's that I posted earlier today - hope you enjoy it as much at I have!
Hello all. Ozderek here. My first posting ..... (be afraid, be VERY afraid..!) :
my 10 most played (soundtrack) cd's .... (in no particular order)
- Nine
- Kristina Fran Duvemala
Since we're talking about CD's today, do any other DR's have ideas for where I might find a storage tower that holds a lot of CD's, but doesn't take up much floor space?
I also have some quite exciting news. I just found out that not only did one couple I am friends with got engaged over this past week, but a total of 3 couples I am friends with got engaged. :o I have possibly 5 weddings to go to as of right nw and I know that number is going to climb soon. (It's just a matter of time with some of my other friends.) Quite exciting and disconcerting at the same time.
Now here's a CD I may have worked on and know nothing about!
Hi all. I'm back again (oh for a silent keyboard in the office....!) ~ thank you to everybody for the welcomes! Feel like an old family member already. EGAD...what will it feel like this time next year?????
I adore the show '1776,' but I do not like the Broadway show album. Howard DaSilva was ailing and unavailable, Ron Holgate is hoarse and in poor voice, William Daniels is also gravelly and doesn't have his timing down quite yet, and Betty Buckley sounds steely and unattractive for the willowy Martha Jefferson.
Nevermind, I figured it out. ::)
THE AMAZING RACE is amazing tonight......fans of Budapest, don't miss it...many many locations!!
DRMattH, I'd have to fight you on that one! Of course it could be the fact that I saw the show about a week after it won all the Tonys, but the original production is etched in my memory, from William Daniels beginning the show on a platform jutting over the orchestra pit to the signing at the end. I never thought the film, for all of its fine moments, came near the excitement and drive of the show. Virginia Vestoff on the original cast recording and in the theatre was so much better than she came off in the film.
On the other hand, since I think Betty Buckley's voice is only good for peeling paint off walls, I do prefer the beautiful Blythe Danner. Pat Zipprodt's costumes for Martha Jefferson in the film were the only new ones and a vast improvement.
I didn't see Ken Howard; by then he was gone from the show and John Fink, who had a brief starring role in a sitcom after 1776, had taken over the part. I always wondered what happened to him. Rex Everhart, who replaced Da Sllva on the recording, was in the show when I saw it. I got to know him while he was doing WOMAN OF THE YEAR with La Bacall.
I saw the original stage version, too, DR elmore, and think it's one of the greatest shows ever mounted. My comments were only in regard to the cast album which was obviously recorded soon after the opening of the show, and the stars sound exhausted to my ears. All of the singing on the film soundtrack sounds superior to me including the wonderful Virginia Vestoff.
I am trying to remember passwords and usernames, because with the change of computers came the loss of all the PC cookies.
Today was JEEPERS CREEPERS, most of which I liked a lot, especially Judy Kaye's gypsy sequence and the Andrews Sisters-like "Aurora." I can't recall the name of the song Rebecca does from VOYAGE TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH, but it's quite beautiful.
And now for a test with a resized photograph: Our newly very own Kevin Spirtas, just after we rehearsed and were leaving the studio.
Hello all. It's your worst nightmare again ...Recall being fed one by a friend (or was that fiend) who thought I needed sweetening up!
in response to Jose's question: I'm a Caramello Koala man ... (if you dont' know what they are, you are missing out on something rather yummy!!!)
I think they made Caramello Father Christmas Chocs for the festive season.
I know only a few DRs are aware of his work, but comic book legend Will Eisner died yesterday. While he is mostly know as the creator of The Spirit, he did extraordinary work in a number of graphic novels that were published during the past twenty years or so. He was a wonderful writer/artist.Illustrator Kelly Freas, whose rendition of Mad's Alfred E. Neuman is the classic one that most of us remember, also died yesterday. He did a lot of sci-fi illustration, too (but, then, I always suspected AEN was an alien, LOL).
Hope you don't mind, DR Joey, but I took the liberty of coming up with some alternative wedding options ;D
For myself...
Whom would you like to marry, Jose? Send me pics and I'll arrange the wedding ;D
Oh, and can any of our Mac users tell me if this advice I got is good: They say it's not really necessary to turn the machine off - but to simply put it in "sleep" mode when I'm done for the evening.
Oh - I've been reminded of a pun ...
the reason I like PARADE so much is because Caraolee Caramello (sorry) was in it ......!
<<< Please don't banish me to the pun pit for that one>>>
Jose - I really hope you don't mind being the bride :D
Also, I'm 99% sure this is your face...it was really small...but I think it is...
A touch pad. I haven't had my hand on a nipple in years.Too much information. ::)
I much, much prefer the film soundtrack as the Broadway stars are in much better voice and the ones who are different from the show album like John Cullum are infinitely better singers, but it's not on CD (is it?), so I just have to watch the film or listen to my LP soundtrack when I want a '1776' fix.
Our "newly own" Kevin is a nice sight to behold.
