The Motion Picture Academy has announced that they are now not only going to give an Oscar to the "Best Picture of the Year," but also the "Most Popular Picture of the Year".

Dumb idea!

The "Most Popular" Picture is determined by the box-office gross. Why does the Academy have to vote on that?

I am working in the box office tonight to not sell tickets we don't have, and I hope everyone who reserved tickets picks them up.

They keep telling people that tickets that aren't picked up by 7:30 are released....so the vultures start gathering about 6 p.m. - I don't sell the tickets until at least 7:55....what if there was traffic or car trouble or a slow waiter....it's a pain....

If they come and the curtain speech has started at least you can say....sorry and have a reason....

DR JRand67, both Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful have not only mind-boggling dialogue but some of the most cliché'd and/or stupefyingly ridiculous or impossible situations I've only seen in the lousy romance novels my loony mother read during the 1970s.  Annabelle says she's left better dialogue and scenes in her litter box.

Something very interesting is happening today. I found an article on how bank apps are too confusing for customers. So, I started to read this to see how I can improve my work. Turns out we were cited as the best in the business, and my response (same as my work wife’s) was, well, we’re doing our job.

The new boss, however, sent it out to folks above with her praise attached. And the highest level boss she reached out also sent Krista and me congratulations. This hasn’t happened here before.

Has this clip of Bacharach and David's "Raindrops Keep Falling' on My Head" from The Ed Sullivan Show been posted here?

I like BJ Thomas' "spontaneous" reaction to the real rain around 2 minutes in :)

And Grant plays the guitar on the album (and did the entire run of the show).

Something very interesting is happening today. I found an article on how bank apps are too confusing for customers. So, I started to read this to see how I can improve my work. Turns out we were cited as the best in the business, and my response (same as my work wife’s) was, well, we’re doing our job.

The new boss, however, sent it out to folks above with her praise attached. And the highest level boss she reached out also sent Krista and me congratulations. This hasn’t happened here before.

Wow!  That's fantastic!  Congratulations, John!

I've started watching the film version of Journey's End. There's someone in the cast who looks a lot like Danny Burstein, but he's apparently not in the movie.

And I learned that there will be even more painting. I really, really don't want to have to move and schlep my stuff somewhere to avoid the paint fumes, but I may have to. I am still appalled that the manager hasn't had the decency to inform me that this is happening.

When is it happening and how many days would you need to be out of your place?

That's the crux of the problem: I don't know. They don't tell us anything. It's the old mushroom syndrome--they keep us in the dark and...you know the rest. I find things out by talking to the other tenants and talking to the workmen. I'll try to talk to the handyman/painter tomorrow.

At least some of what was on the to-do list from the big walk-through last December never got onto the workmen's to-do list. Today the painter pointed out some caulking in my kitchen that needed to be replaced. Yes, the owner authorized it last December. But someone didn't tell the painter to do it. The painter and I agreed it should be done and it was done. Lots of things are falling through the cracks because of their lack of organization and planning.

I used Safeco paint for most of the renovation on my house in Alexandria. It's excellent paint. We used mostly low-VOC and also some no-VOC. I'd use it again in a heartbeat.

I never tried that brand.  You were lucky to find a good paint.  Fortunately I haven't found the paint we have used in recent years to be overly bothersome.

TCB, Phoenix is a popular area for retirees. Yes, it is miserably hot in the summer, but you just stay inside. We have no snow, no hurricanes, little humidity (only with the summer storms), and a pretty good cost of living.


Laura, perhaps you should work for the Chamber of Commerce!

No ragged edges and small miracle vibes for MR BK.

DR TCB you could come and live in Indiana - there ain't nothing here, but it's fun sometimes.

Nice props DR GEORGE.


I thought about Indiana, but I was afraid you and I would end up competing for the same roles.

TCB, last night's ruminations were delightful. 

And should get an award for proper use of posting space.

Would you really avoid a city because an ex of yours lives there?  (or was that just a joke?)


Thank you, Fred, I am glad you enjoyed them.

Normally, I probably would be joking, but when it comes to Dumb Dennis and Iowa, it is no joke!

I tried to log on from 7:30 to 9:30 when I left for City Center.  O am home early since Joshie had an Irish Rep band rehearsal at 12:30 to rehearse my close personal friend and DR Laura's, Ben Davis, who goes into the show tonight. I brought work home with me and I'll see him on Monday.


Ben Davis is going into what show?
