Cheering up and Bright sunshine vibes to bk
-
And the word of the day is: SPITTOON!
-
Bk, Ron and I were having a lively discussion in the previous thread about earthquakes and perhaps you could shed some light....
It is referring to how people get out of studios if there is an earthquake and what is done?
The reason topic was bought up was due to watching Earthquake this past weekend...
-
Ladies dont spit....
Only gentleman of the Victorian era in fine smoking jackets use them...

There was an earthquake last weekend?
I've never been in a studio during an earthquake, but I'd have to imagine it's just like anywhere else.

TOD:
Which second season episode of Bullsh*t did you appear in?
Are you still on track for rereleasing Joan Ryan's cd (which is great btw)
You mentioned you might be releasing more of the STAGE recordings. Have all the shows been recorded?
Are there any guest star roles or pilots that are still missing from brucekimmel.com?

I think it was about recycling.
Yes, Joan's CD is still on track.
I don't know about all, but the last five years have been recorded, out of which only two have been released.
Not sure - have you added The Bob Crane Show? I remember virtually nothing about it, but apparently I was on it.
-
Yes, it is five in the morning, and I've been tossing and turning and turning and tossing for most of the evening, unable to sleep. I'm exhausted from all the tossing and turning, frankly, but there is too much going on in ye olde cranium.

It's snowing here in Philly. No lie!
-
Ah, yes. The weather has made a swift change from the weekend when we had lovely, sunny weather with moderate temperatures. It is now back to temps in the low 40s with wind and dampness. It is supposed to be nicer as the weekend approaches but we shall see.
-
No rain here-- just some cloudy skies off and on. It was in the 80's over the weekend, so who knows what we'll get?
I am tired of cloudy. I want either rain or sunshine-- none of this in-between stuff.

Bright and sunny right now in Rehoboth Beach, DE.

Dear DR DakotaCelt: Earthquakes are, by and large, less dramatic than you have seen in the movies, particularly in California. For one thing, while there is constant tremoring, the vast majority of the tremors are too faint to be detected by humans. When the tremors are strong enough to be felt, most of the time it's a little jolt, and people look around and say "Oh, we must have just had an earthquate, tra-la!" and go on their merry way.
When the quakes are sizable, which doesn't happen that often, there can be some structural damage, but most buildings in California are built to withstand the shaking. This includes the film studios. If you've seen buildings falling down in films, it's because special effects wizards have designed sets to do that. They rarely fall down and go boom in real life.
This is not to say that buildings don't fall down. It's just that the buildings that fall down are usually located in Japan or the Middle East.
A side note: when I lived in California, which I did for most of my life, I rarely met anyone who was afraid of earthquakes. Now that I've moved to Delaware, I've met several people who are afraid of them. One of those people, Dixie (a front-end manager where I work) has repeatedly said how terrified she is of California's earthquakes...and then took a week's vacation in Las Vegas. They have quakes in Nevada, too! I had to laugh.

Hay fever has landed: the dogwood - maybe it's a tulip tree - has blossomed outside my window and for the past three days my life has been a fuzzy throat, blocked sinuses, achey eyes and a desire for a heavy snowstorm.
I've got two sax parts to complete, so I'm foreswearing Toyland and its environs today for the desk in my own little corner. And a lot of writing!
Alex Rybeck and I may see THE DROWSY CHAPERONE next Wednesday night, so that's quite exciting.
I've also heard that a celebrated conductor, a legend in his own mind, but well-known for his gigantic ego and arrogance, has been calling around town begging for work.
TOD: Dear Friend BK, is your reading of the new show going to be recorded for reference to any future productions?
-
I'm seeing Drowsy Chaperone this Wednesday evening (this very night).
I saw Wedding Singer last night. Laura Benati was very good but I wasn't impressed with the show. It may be a hit if enough people who saw and liked the movie go to the theatre. There were many audience members last night who saw the movie and loved it and happily compared last night's performance to the movie with positive results. If they tell all their friends and the friends go to the show, it could survive any pans it may recieve from the critics. It's not bad (although it is too long at 2 1/2 hours), I just don't think it's very good even with Rita Gardner, the original Girl in The Fantasticks, playing a randy grandmother.
Just because a movie was a hit doesn't mean it will make a good Broadway musical!!!

For some reason, I've been humming "Brylcreem, a little dab'l do ya..." for days and days. Oy.
-
Very sad about Gene Pitney....I love his songs.
-
As soon as I read about Pitney, I heard his voice singing "Town Without Pity" - very distinctive sound he had. Wow. How did the decades go whizzing by so fast? I was a teen-ager to Gene Pitney's singing...

Maybe it's time to change this picture... Ah, if only I had the tech chops to do it... (for the little-old-lady pic of Penny, see www.jewishthighs.com...)
-
Penny, here is a re-sized version of the picture. If you right click with your mouse on that picture and choose "Save as..." option you can save the picture as a jpeg anywhere on your computer. Make sure you remember where you save it. You can save it to your desktop or a specific folder. Then you can go into "Edit Profile" and replace your current picture with the new one (very striking picture I might add).

It rained a-l-l n-i-g-h-t- l-o-n-g here!
It sounded terrific pattering against the skylight in my master bath, but I can't help worrying what it's done to folks living in the hills.
-
I'm up.
I'm a bit better than I was this time yesterday.
I'm certainly more rested.
So..."Heigh-Ho! Heigh-Ho! It's off to work I go!"

Cool here today, but the sun is SHINING. No mail yet, hoping to receive a thing or two.

Hey, WOW! The sun is shining here! It's this wad of yellow light all over the place! Warm, yellow light! Imagine that!!!!! Nice day for a drive - think I'll head over to Riverside to hand-deliver my application!

So THAT's what the sky looks like, after days and days of grey and rain... ya mighta thought this was Seattle or something... or Hawaii...

Didja read about the truly biblical rains in Hawaii??? Yup - 40 days and 40 nights of rain. The beaches are closed for all the raw sewage, apparently. Oh, well, does ANYONE actually go to Hawaii in March and April??

Good morning!
Beautiful day here but colder than I was expecting. When I went out to get the newspaper, I had on shorts, and I fear they'll be replaced by sweat pants before too much more of the morning has past.
I got all my chores tended to this morning but I am at least an hour later logging on than usual.

A former co-worker sent this along this morning. I thought it funny, so I'm sharing:
70-year old George went for his annual physical. All of his tests came back with normal results. Dr. Smith said, "George, everything looks great physically. How are you doing mentally and emotionally? Are you at peace with yourself, and do you have a good relationship with God?"
George replied, "God and me are tight. He knows I have poor eyesight, so He's fixed it so that when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom *poof* the light goes on, when I'm done *poof* the light goes off."
"Wow!" commented Dr. Smith, "That's incredible!"
A little later in the day Dr. Smith called George's wife. "Ethel," he said, "George is doing fine. Physically he's great. But, I had to call because I'm in awe of his relationship with God. Is it true that he gets up during the night and *poof* the light goes on in the bathroom, and then when he is through *poof* the light goes off?"
Ethel exclaimed, "Oh, my God! He's peeing in the refrigerator again!"

And 5 more posts to 900...

Hey, Bruce, as long as it's Ask BK Day... where is the reading of the new musical happening, and can anyone attend??? I'd sure love to hear it on the first bounce... I could say I was there, at the very first read-thru...

To answer DR Ron Pulliam's question fromm last night about MEDIUM:
It's not in any danger of cancellation. NBC has found that it doesn't rerun as strongly as procedurals like LAW & ORDER or CSI. It's odd that it doesn't because the episodes are pretty much self-contained and you can watch them out of order to no detrimental effect.
So, NBC is using that Monday hour to try new things in that time slot to see how they fare against CSI: MIAMI which rules the roost at 10 p.m.
With NBC gaining nighttime pro football next season (which will be shown on Sunday), they've got some major schedule shake-ups to deal with for at least the first half of the season. I am really looking forward to the announcement of their fall schedule which is coming next month at the network upfront meetings.
-
I should be getting my Amazon packages today which means I will be watching BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN this afternoon. THE NUN'S STORY will probably be tomorrow's selection. The Dietrich and West films can wait their turns.

I just started a new read yesterday - Natalie Goldberg's WILD MIND, Living the Writer''s Life. She's the lady who wrote WRITING DOWN THE BONES - - I am a fan. I love books about writing... I've read three books by Anne Lamott - she's REAL good... I recommend her so highly. And, of course, Julia Cameron. Anything by her. But I've bought THE ARTIST'S WAY for more than a dozen friends, and insist you check it out of the library to give it a look-see.
These writers are very affirming. Creating art - any kind, writing, painting, singing, anything - for all the zen pleasure and fullfillment, can be isolating, lonely. These writers offer a little companionship on that path. Encouragement. Even a "misery-loves-company" empathy. And they don't stay for dinner, or get offended when you don't get back to them for weeks and weeks, or keep talking when you need silence. Now, there's a perfect friendship for ya.

I read some comments on the IDOL forum at USA TODAY where folks are predicting Taylor is going to be the one leaving tonight after his underwhelming rendition last night.
True, he was not the Taylor of the previous weeks' competitions. He must have been under the weather because he seemed immobile, petrified of the song (which he shouldn't have been), and totally lacking energy or spark or even a smile.
But to be voted off? I don't think so. Besides, as has been the case the last several weeks, his line was busy for a good portion of the voting time. So was Katharine. Ace had a busy signal longer than Elliott did. So, I think just about anyone is vulnerable at this point. I just think Bucky seems the most obvious to leave since he didn't soar during a week that should have been a snap for him, and he has been in the bottom three often (but not last week surprisingly). Ace may be in trouble, too, even though I thought he FAR outshown much better singers last night.

Another cuppa java and I'll have the mobility and energy to hop in ye olde shower and get on with my day. The drive to Riverside will probably be an hour and a half - if I get lucky and miss traffic. Means I have a whole afternoon, once I get back, to putter around, check out the neighborhood - hit the gym... Yes! this loft comes with free gym privileges!! Huzzah! There's a dog park a block away, too, for when I just need to pet the puppies! Oh, whatta life!

But to be voted off? I don't think so.
I think you're quite right. But last season, who would have thought Constantine would be voted off when he was?
That one performance in which he wore some makeup to "goth it up" elicited criticism on the boards...and "poof"! He was gone.
Still, there are better choices to make right now....

Hey, actually I do have that photo on this thing, already. In three different formats. I just can't get it to do anything... I'll have some kind visitor put the thing up at some point.

I have a normal mouse so I can right click despite having a Mac. I do have a Mac mouse for travel and if I recall correctly you have to push one of the keyboard keys and then click the mouse.
I Have A Normal Mouse - that's the title of my next novel.

DR George, we don't get HBO in Canada or I would tape the Rosie cruise movie for you. However, if DR MattH cannot record it, let me know. It is playing on the movie channel next week and I can have my sister tape it (probably).
Btw, TAR is on tonight at 8pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm kinda perplexed why folks are so certain busy signals mean a lot. I guess, overall, they might give an indication of who is getting the votes....but I rather suspect the folks using phones are fewer than the folks text messaging...at least...the number of votes being text-messaged are probably greater than the number of votes being phoned in.
By phone, I had to satisfy myself voting a few times for my favorite in years past.
With text-messaging, I cast 110 votes last night...in about one-half hour. And Cingular to Cingular, it cost me nothing.
-
DR George, we don't get HBO in Canada or I would tape the Rosie cruise movie for you.
I suddenly had strange images flash through my mind as I read the words "Rosie cruise"....it reminded me of the fits Rosie used to pitch on her show over her infatuation for Tom Cruise (and dontcha just WONder what THAT was all about?).

Wednesday it's-still-morning greetings! I'm at work a little early because I had several stops to make on the way and didn't know how long they would take. One of them was Target to purchase the Liza with a Z DVD, with which I got a $5 gift card for future use.
DR PennyO - I think Command (the Apple squiggle)-Shift-Click does on a Mac what right click does on a PC.

Re: last night's american idol.
I hope it's bucky that goes, since he is my least favorite of those who remain. My first instincts are that it could be ace, bucky and mandissa in the bottom 3. I would be surprised if bucky was not in the bottom 3. I would also be surprised (shocked) if taylor went home.
I think chris and kellie are popular enough to be safe. But i do think we will see at least one surprise in the bottom 3. There just has to be with only 9 left.

I agree; that was probably the biggest shock of the competition last year. He looked weird but sang just fine. He was voted against for a make-up choice. Stupid. (I'm not sure he had ever even been in the bottom three up to that point.)
-
DR RonP do you really think more people text in their votes (vs phone). I thought the number of phone calls would far outweigh the text votes. Although i guess if it were free then i would surely text (assuming i was allowed to vote).

Here's something else I tried last night. I tried calling the numbers on my cellphone during one of the breaks, and on that service, most everyone had a busy signal. I got through to Bucky and Paris using the cellphone, but no one else. During that same commercial break, I used my land line and only Taylor and Katharine had busy signals.

After she came out as a lesbian, she claimed those feelings for Tom were genuine fan adulation not a put-on to hide behind him as her having a crush on a man, but I didn't quite buy her story.

There's a wonderful interview with Rosie in the new NEW YORK magazine that hit the stands on Monday. She talks about Mr Cruise's behavior.

DR RonP do you really think more people text in their votes (vs phone). I thought the number of phone calls would far outweigh the text votes. Although i guess if it were free then i would surely text (assuming i was allowed to vote).
One reason I think text-messaging might be more significant than call-in is that on the IdolonFox boards, someone is always posting something about some site where the latest telephone results are posted.....and the total numbers the so-called telephonic results add up to are generally well below half of the total votes Ryan says were cast.
Mind you, no one has ever posted a link to where they get those telephone call-in numbers, so it may be something someone is making up.
But...since most voters are teens...and most teens have cell phones...and since it's far easier to text-message than it is to dial a 1-866 number and cast a vote...I wouldn't be a bit surprised if text-messaged votes weren't a significant factor in the totals.

Good morning/afternoon. The sun was out for an hour or two - and luckily I did my morning walk during that time. Now it's dark and raining again.
Had a lovely dinner last night at the neighborhood French joint. Excellent salad, followed by delish French onion soup with a glass of Chardonnay. (A light meal as my tummy was acting up from too much coffee during the day.) Good unobtrusive service. The waiter was there if we needed him, but wasn't checking in every 5 minutes to interrupt conversation with "Is everything okay here?" Can't stand that! We closed the place down. (In LA that means 10 PM. An early town.) Will visit again for more substantial fare.
RE DTM's jingle question: My ex-husband was a jingle doctor, among other things. He'd come in and do emergency surgery on jingles that weren't quite working. Our piano was jingle central. He and Tommy Ambrose (some of the Canadians may know him) were responsible for a lot of jingles in the 80's. One of my faves of theirs was an instant iced tea campaign that used to appear on TV and on buses and benches with a picture of a tall glass of iced tea and the logo - "Cooling summer down"... I just thought that simple phrase was very evocative. Especially during the humid Toronto summers.
Okay - I'm locking myself in to write. Want to complete what I'm doing before going to NY on Saturday. Writing vibes much appreciated.

Pen, go up to the top of the screen and click on Edit Profile. You'll be taken to a new screen. Scroll Down to Personalized Picture. You'll see a box with lots of picture names. Scroll down in that box (put the mouse on the black carat to scroll through) to the picture called Penny resized. Click on that name. The picture should appear. After that, scroll down to the bottom where it says Secret Question. Enter your current password in the last box (I think it says somewhere in that field you must enter your password to make any changes in your profile) and click Save. That should change your picture.

Re: last week's episode of "Smallville"
I watched this episode Monday evening...and....
SPOILER, possibly...
...it wasn't among my favorites. While the show is always watchable, this story arc seemed too convoluted just to get to a point at which Clark could break off his strange relationship with Lana.
And good for Lana...may she live long and prosper.

How do you describe an angry potato?
Boiling Mad.

Why didn't the mother potato want her daughter to marry the famous newscaster?

Now I do remember an old Civil War song
Sitting by the roadside on a summer's day
Chatting with my mess-mates, passing time away
Lying in the shadows underneath the trees
Goodness, how delicious, eating goober peas.
Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness, how delicious,
Eating goober peas.
When a horse-man passes, the soldiers have a rule
To cry out their loudest, "Mister, here's your mule!"
But another custom, enchanting-er than these
Is wearing out your grinders, eating goober peas.
Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness, how delicious,
Eating goober peas.
Just before the battle, the General hears a row
He says "The Yanks are coming, I hear their rifles now."
He looks down the roadway, and what d'ya think he sees?
The Georgia Militia cracking goober peas.
Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness, how delicious,
Eating goober peas.
I think my song has lasted just about enough.
The subject is interesting, but the rhymes are mighty rough.
I wish the war was over, so free from rags and fleas
We'd kiss our wives and sweethearts, say good-bye to goober peas.
Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness, how delicious,
Eating goober peas.

Re: last week's episode of "Smallville"

SPOILER, possibly...
...it wasn't among my favorites. While the show is always watchable, this story arc seemed too convoluted just to get to a point at which Clark could break off his strange relationship with Lana.
And good for Lana...may she live long and prosper.
As I wrote last Thursday after I saw the episode, Clark and Lana have broken up "for good" three or four times during the show's years on the air. I hope this time it's for keeps. I'm certainly all for it, and knowing the Superman legend, we know he doesn't end up with her as an adult, so it makes sense that this is happening since Tom Welling is rapidly getting to the place where it's going to be ludicrous for him to be playing a teenager.
-
I love Pitney's Only Love Can Break A Heart by Bacharach and David, and the above-mentioned Town Without Pity and Liberty Valance.
I'm feeling a bit less blue, more of a light purple now. However, I'm so tired I can't even see straight, which is what happens when you sleep one hour.
-
I remember my brother had some Gene Pitney 45s, and I thought he was very sexy looking on the cover of his albums. I've heard "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence" and "Town Without Pity," but they not the one my brother played all the time. I can't remember which song it was he'd repeat over and again.

Back from lunch...at Milano's a local Italian ristorante.
My lunch special:
Grilled lamb, onions, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes cooked in a fused garlic-olive oil and served over orzo.
Absolutely TDF!

I'm gonna have a tough time keeping my eyes open this afternoon, but I'll pull through somehow.
-
Naturally because I was anticipating it, the mail was very late today, so I began the afternoon viewing with a MURDER SHE WROTE episode I hadn't seen before. One with Arthur Hill playing the same role that he played in the pilot episode (Jessica's publisher) and also featuring Michael McKean, Lois Chiles, and Gordon Thomson, among other guests.
-
Next came two ANGEL episodes to finish out disc 4 in the Season 3 set. Both very enjoyable as Angel and Wesley both wrestle with jealousy over not having the girls of their dreams. And, of course, Wesley's alligning himself with Angel's adversary in order to save the child Connor is also happening now.
-

Well, at least he's out of high school, even though he's dropped out of college for the time being.
With Martha serving Jonathan's senate term, I guess Clark plans on keeping the farm going for a while until such time as they can afford to hire someone to work it.
The legend is really getting a bit strained with Chloe working at the Planet...and Lois doing gosh only knows what. I'm never quite sure what her status is.
They have a nice competitive chemistry working between Clark and Lois, but there doesn't seem to be any kind of romantic spark in the offing.

Gene Pitney - "Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa"

I'm excited about the upcoming "Dynasty" reunion show....not the least because Pamela Sue Martin** will be back as Fallon and Al Corley will be back as Steven.
I understand John Forsythe is on board as Blake, but he's not doing interviews.
** After all these years, it's great she finally remembered what she was supposed to look like...and how she was supposed to sound when talking.
-
Finally the mail came, and I plucked BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN out of its case and put it on.
When I saw the film in the theater, the theater had a very used and dirty print; it even had some places where a frame or two were missing. So, watching it on DVD is the first time I've gotten to see it in a prisitine copy.
The cinematography is as breathtaking as I imagined it would be, and the disc is very sharp. However, the night scene where Ennis and Jack "discover" each other for the first time is way too dark to watch in a room with any ambient light, so I shut off the player and will pick back up with the film tonight when there won't be any light coming into the den.

And with Chloe knowing the secret, well, I just don't know where all of that is going. I still keep thinking Chloe will take Lois' name as her by-line and that SHE is the Lois Lane that Clark flips for as an adult. Of course, Lois in the comics wasn't blonde.

Just wait till you get to the next season....
I started watching ANGEL on the WB about four or five episodes from the end of its fourth season, so I still have the rest of Season 3 and about 18 episodes of Season 4 that will be new to me. Can't wait to see how these storylines play out, especially with Connor aging so quickly in the subsequent seasons.

Or are there other sci-fi shows that you champion more? STARGATE, right?

Thank you for the link, DR vixmom. I tried to listen to it, but of course, with a dial-up connection, it buffered more than it played. Downloading will also take forever. But I saved the link and might listen from a friend with broadband access.

Ah, sorry. I remembered you watched a couple of shows on the Sci-Fi channel. Never Mind! :)
LOL! I DID try to watch "...Galactica" when it first started...but I quickly tired of the machinations of some of the characters. After two hours of heady, frothy "Stargate" matters, "...Galactica" suddenly expected me to "think."
And I didn't wanna.
So....
-
I watch (and LOVE) Battlestar Galactica! That's pretty cool about the award. :D
-
Well, there ya go!
If I were as young as you, George, I'd probably have the energy to watch it, too.
One day, though...you'll understand how the aging mind automatically shorts out after a long day and refuses to engage beyond basic needs/requirements.

One of the better "Will and Grace" episodes aired last night. It was a Thanksgiving episode:
Stan is in prison
Jack's stepfather is visiting in town
Grace is expected at her mother's
Willis expected at his mother's
And they've all made plans to dine at Will and Grace's...
So they get a timer....agree on limiting their visits...and they all go out to spend time with each other's whomevers.
At Will's, Karen daydreams that her ideal man would be a blue collar worker with a toolbelt, even though he wouldn't know how to spell it. At that moment, a plumber walks in responding to a call Will's mother made.
Karen is all over him and then some.
It's a total hoot!
-
I have only seen Will and Grace a few times... NOt a bad show. Rather humorous at times.
-
Ron, Did you know that Sean Hayes did a movie with Matt Ashford called Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss?

I wanted to add a few additional comments about the Kevin Spirtas CD that I am enjoying.. He is a wonderful singer and the great thought and consideration went into the selection and arrangement of the tracks.
It is a nice blend of light and lively and more serious ballads. A great CD!!
Bk, you did a beautiful job. You should be proud... I am really enjoying this!
btw, student worker is now jamming with Kevin on Jailhouse Rock!
They have given it thumbs up!

Mr Pitney was a frequent viisted to OZ and never lost his fan base. Way too young and will be missed.
He and Roy Orbison's voices were the "sounds" of my teenage years.
In the UK and Australia Pitney had Top10 hit records spanning 30 years.

There is a duet with Mr Pitney on the most recent of Jane Olivor's albums.

Dear DR DakotaCelt: Earthquakes are, by and large, less dramatic than you have seen in the movies, particularly in California. For one thing, while there is constant tremoring, the vast majority of the tremors are too faint to be detected by humans. When the tremors are strong enough to be felt, most of the time it's a little jolt, and people look around and say "Oh, we must have just had an earthquate, tra-la!" and go on their merry way.
When the quakes are sizable, which doesn't happen that often, there can be some structural damage, but most buildings in California are built to withstand the shaking. This includes the film studios. If you've seen buildings falling down in films, it's because special effects wizards have designed sets to do that. They rarely fall down and go boom in real life.
This is not to say that buildings don't fall down. It's just that the buildings that fall down are usually located in Japan or the Middle East.
Now let me see if I understand this whole thing............ Every time an earthquake rattles Southern California, a building falls down in Japan or the Middle East?
-

I bought a book for 25 cents at HALF PRICE BOOKS a few years ago. It is called MOUSE HOUSE - and it is a punch out book of homes you can build for you computer mouse.
The Parthenon, Golden Pavilion, Chartres Cathedral, The Taj Mahal, or The White House. The Parthenon is the only one that is missing. Original purchase price - $9.95

Golly. It's been another semi-slow day.
I wonder if DakotaCelt and I can pick things up again.

DR JRand....did you get all your "scanning" done?
yes, I did, DR RLP.
A month or so ago, my brother bought a Scrapbook at a yard sale for 50 cents. It had been carefully put together by someone years ago. There were sections on many teen idols and cowboy stars. One of the sections was for Miss Annette Funicello.
I wanted to scan the photos and add them to a photo album for an Annette Yahoo Group that I am a member of.
Whew! :P But Annette certainly was the queen of the fan mags for a few years! 8)

You can go to the site at Jeopardy.com and see if they are going to do it again. You clicked what audition city you were interested in. I think they are going to do the contestant searches by invitation instead of cattle calls now, and those who took the online test are brought in when they go to the cities. I think. You don't get your score or anything....you don't know anything unless you get contacted by the show.
So now we wait. I took the test on March 28. ;D

Penny, here is a re-sized version of the picture. If you right click with your mouse on that picture and choose "Save as..." option you can save the picture as a jpeg anywhere on your computer. Make sure you remember where you save it. You can save it to your desktop or a specific folder. Then you can go into "Edit Profile" and replace your current picture with the new one (very striking picture I might add).
Penny the new photo is striking, however, nothing wrong with having a younger version of you as your avatar. So many of us do, ;D mine whent up cause Bruce asked for a photo of me blond.

Well, I'm having a last-minute dinner at Musso and Frank. I didn't think I was going to have a meal tonight, so I ate a foot long meat ball sandwich at Subway. Not a good way to lose weight, but I think I'll just have cracked crab tonight, and if I stick to the red sauce it will be almost no calories - no bread for sure, and no dessert. Sound good?
Keep the home fries burning until my returning. I'm hoping it won't be too too late because I am operating on two hours of sleep, and I must be refreshed for the reading tomorrow morning - I may, in fact, post the notes early and hit the hay. We shall see.

A new soundtrack from the glorious 1950s has been announced by Intrada out of Oakland.
A limited edition of Leigh Harline's score for Samuel Fuller's "House of Bamboo" (http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.ACCT67745/category.7/it.A/id.4799/.f) is being issued on CD in full stereo. There's nothing quite so glorious as scores out of the Fox music department in the 1950s!
-
Some of you may know that Leigh Harline won the Oscar for his score to Walt Disney's "Pinocchio", but you may not know he had a most prolific career as a film music composer.
Works that we have gotten on CD over the past few years include "Broken Lance," "The Enemy Below" and "Warlock."
-
New DVDs arrived today:
Francis of Assissi
The Nun's Story
Shoes of the Fisherman
The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima (came in a box with the previous two...at a ridiculously great price)
I'm not feeling terrifically "religious," but those films are pretty good and have magnificent scores.
Oh, yeah! And "Liza With A Z", which included a CD of the score...which I already had...but perhaps it's been remastered or has more music on it?
I won't know until I check it all out later this week.

And it's waitin' down yonder...'round the bend.
-
It's not too fur a piece to amble toward...
-
But I reckon it might tire some folks out...
-
Right now, I'm listening to the companion CD of "Liza With a 'Z'," that I got yesterday with the DVD (well, anyone who bought the DVD gets the CD, too...I'm not the only one who got the DVD ;)). I'd never heard it before. It's Liza at her best! ;D
-
nevermind... I'll get Keith to do this for me, in early May while I'm on my way North...
:D
-
But they can always just skim on by...
-
It's what I sometimes do.
-
:D
Page 9....and all is well!
-
Let's hold a meeting on it:
-
I just hope no blood is shed.
-
Ah...a corner has been turned.
-
Well...."American Idol" is now on the air on the East Coast...and someone will learn he or she is going home within the next 30 minutes.
Hoping for Bucky to go!
-
Whew!
Fine Amazing Race with a not surprising but sad conclusion.
DR GINNY & DAKOTACELT - what with Venus and Pluto in sextile and the sun AND the moon both in Aries - no wonder EVERYTHING is crazy!
-
DR RLP - Alex North's score for SHOES OF THE FISHERMAN has always been one of my favorites of his....right up there with THE BAD SEED and CLEOPATRA.
I think MR BK mentioned getting this box set last weekend.
THE NUN'S STORY is a wonderful Hepburn performance, but not a patch on the book.
-
Dakota, Danise mentioned she might be too tired to post during her first week back at work. I haven’t received email from her either. If I don’t hear from her soon I’ll give her a call & report the news.
And how do I go to your website?
-
BEN!!! You da man!!!

Back from Philly, having done some business, also was able to take in the touring production of WICKED, which is if anything even more beautiful to look at in this larger theater with a more compact stage. Thought it was going to be at the wonderfully named Kimmel Center, but it actually turned out to be at the Academy of Music two blocks from the Kimmel Center building, even though it seems to be a presentation of the Kimmel Center. Lots of people made the same mistake. The sound, which has been a problem for me the times I've sen the show at the Gershwin in New York, was actually quite remarkable at the Kimmel Center, I mean Academy of Music, and the piece overall really packs a wallop. There were understudies or standby for four count 'm four of the main leads, including Elphaba, Glinda, Fiyero and Dr. Dillamond, and the sign announcing these seemed partially hidden behind the cast list in the lobby. :)
But I'd never seen a touring production of this big a musical, and was suitably impressed by the reconception of the vast scenic design. The more compact set actually makes the physically tremendous show feel more intimate than the sometimes I-don't-know-where-to-look but still grand Broadway set. At the Kimmel Center, I mean Academy of Music, it's easy to take the whole thing in as one beautiful series of stage pictures.

So, everyone, this is me, with the dyed dark hair cut off and the Botox injections having been ceased more than a year ago. This is me!!!
-
It wasn't even so hard to do!!! Good ol' Ben went through the steps for me on page 4 - which I just found. And I'll be hornswoggled if it didn't work, snap, just like that!!! Hahahahahahaaaaa!!!!!

Gosh, I feel so successful!!!!! Ain't life just GRAND!!

I hope to rework it this summer.

I know the results of the "American Idol" competition this week.
The bottom three were truly unexpected...and not one of them should have been there...in fact, two of them were top three for me.
The one who left was an even worse shock. Had it been the other, I'd have been done with the show for this season. But...there's still some room to wiggle, but there're still a lot of crappy singers in the pack...which proves to me it's about youth...and funkiness...and has nothing to do -- at least, not much to do -- with talent and singing ability.
-
But, then...we all knew that anyway, didn't we?
-
How else could one explain such things as a Justin Timberlake or Britney or Christina?
If anyone has heard any of those three truly "sing", I'm willing to hear you out. I haven't heard anything distinctive from any one of them.

Well...I trust you know about this CD release of North's score (http://www.screenarchives.com/fsm/detailCD.CFM?ID=296)?
BK gets things in advance of their availability to the rest of us!
I've not read the book, but I do love Zinneman's film and Hepburn's performance (and Finch's) along with Waxman's glorious score.

DakotaCelt, it was fun browsing your site. LOL- found your photo charming, not scary. How long ago was it taken?

I patrolled the Idol message board....the 9 were broken into groups of three...top 3, middle 3 and bottom 3.
No one in the bottom 3 had been there before!!!

DR George - I was listening to it, too, as I drove home from work just now. Brings back great memories - I can hardly wait to see the DVD.
And, then, when I got home I found that my Kritzerland order had arrived - YIPPEE!
-
Oh...did anyone see this week's episode of "Cold Case", in which the victim was playing the role of Brian in "Cabaret"?
There were some neat moments when the actors sang portions of the songs in the flashback segments.
A nice touch, I thought.

Oh, yeah!
Yowzah!
My stomach's started talking to me.

I've got some pork chops I "could" prepare.
But....somehow I'm not all that interested in "cooking" a meal.
-
On the other hand, I've some frozen black-eyed peas, and those would be great with rice and those chops.
-
And, then, when I got home I found that my Kritzerland order had arrived - YIPPEE!
Whadjaget? Huh? Huh?
Was it the Kevin Spirtas CD?
-
What? That is sacrilidge! Jimmy Nelson and Farfel
Auugh! Not sacrilege at all... just faulty brain synapses!! Of course I meant Jimmy Nelson. My mom still has my Farfel mug somewhere
-
I've thought about getting that CD, but then I keep remembering that BK mentioned doing a DVD of the same session from which the recording was made...so...I think I'd rather have the DVD.
-
A "Farfel mug"?
A "Farfel" mug?
I never had one of those.
I do have a "Howdy Doody" mug.
And I have a "Mickey Mouse" spoon.

DR RonPulliam, that was Adam Pascal, who created Roger in RENT!
I enjoyed him more on COLD CASE than in RENT Ron, I also enjoyed that episode (athough I do not usually watch the series). I believe it was TPunk who didn't like the episode, at all.

In honor of the beginning of tornado season, I got a new NOAA weather radio today. I've had one for about 5 years, but this one is way cooler and is a lot easier to tell what the warnings, watches, advisories are etc. It's great!

Yes, Kevin Spirtas plus Strouse, Schwartz and Schwartz, plus Harvey Schmidt plays Jones & Schmidt. Something tells me I won't be listening to much of my boring audio book in the next several days.

I must have checked something by mistake. Suddenly I am being notified everytime someone repsonds on HHW. It says that I asked to be niotified when someone repsonds to the topic.
MAKE IT STOP!!!

I think it was about recycling.
Yes, Joan's CD is still on track.
I don't know about all, but the last five years have been recorded, out of which only two have been released.
Not sure - have you added The Bob Crane Show? I remember virtually nothing about it, but apparently I was on it.
I have the Bob Crane Show episode uploaded. I was able to track down which episode it was at Lincoln Center when I was there in November.
-
WHEW! I THINK I HAVE STOPPED IT.

I was just going to notify you of that!

I still can't believe that Gene Pitney has passed away. I guess I now know how a lot of people felt when Elvis died. I loved almost everything that Gene ever sang (except maybe his Country stuff). Fortunately, a very kind and generous Wizard from Oz supplied me with a great many of Gene Pitney's CDs,; so, at least I can continue to hear his beautiful voice for years to come.
-
I doubt there is a Gene Pitney recording that I do not like.. His work with Geroge Jones is great and so too is his country album.
"Backstage" - should have listed that too.. also his "Just one Smile" (Randy Newman's Song).
Gene even had a top ten hit here in Oz in Italian.
"Nessuni Mi Puo Guidicare"

Could not have been more shocked by the bottom three tonight on IDOL. Well, truth be told, two of them did not have good nights on Tuesday, but they all have given very confident and dazzling performances on other shows.
I would rather the other female in the bottom three have gone rather than the one who was eliminated. And I will take a small bow for helping to save the male who was in the bottom three. I dialed his number constantly for two hours (except for the times I was dialing all numbers to see whose was busy). He's my favorite singer on the show, and while I don't think he'll win, I want him to place higher than 8th.
-
No, DR Ron, the actor who Sean Hayes' character goes to Catalina to see was played by Brad Rowe.

I watched another thirty minutes of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN but didn't get any farther along due to a lengthy telephone call. I got to the point where Jack meets his future wife.

A very affecting episode of THE EVIDENCE tonight, too, as Martin Landau got to show his stuff as the M.E. I love INVASION, but I'll miss THE EVIDENCE once it leaves the air.
-
I've never read the book that THE NUN'S STORY was based on, but I should since this has been one of my all-time favorite movies ever since I first saw it. The score is brilliant, Audrey got robbed of the 1959 Oscar, and I found it shocking that Peter Finch wasn't nominated in the supporting actor category (unless he didn't want to be in that category and refused to be placed there. He didn't have a large enough role to have competed with the likes of Heston and James Stewart and Jack Lemmon in 1959.)
-
I must be an idiot, but I love DEAL OR NO DEAL.
So do I, but I wasn't going to be the first to admit it.

Oh......Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss. Yes, Brad Rowe is the object of Mr. Hayes desire. Matt plays Whitey (but not on LEAVE IT TO BEAVER)

So do I, but I wasn't going to be the first to admit it.
Thank you, Cillaliz and Matt. Perhaps we can start a 12-step program.

Back from a lovelier than lovely dinner at Musso, and I did NOT overeat and was quite a good boy.
I've checked out the transfer of The Nun's Story, and I'm sorry to say the source material isn't so hot. It's very sharp, but it's obviously from an interneg and not the camera neg, as the grain in the opitcals is outrageous. Also, the color is off - very brown pasty skin tones - not the way the film looked at all. I owned an IB Tech print of it and the great cameraman Franz Planer would be turning over in his grave if he saw the color on this DVD.
-
Can we pick a numbered step to reveal first??
I guess it would have to be a 26-step program.

I am contemplating doing some writing....
