DR Danise - A few years ago, Steve and I would look up video cameras that were set up in cities where I was going on tour. Then, schedules permitting, I would go to said place, and Steve would "take a picture" of me on the web cam. I have pics of me in the old - and haunted - library in Evansville, IN. I have a couple of me in Times Square - there are a couple of them around there. The one by the TGIF's was always the easiest to get on. I have one of me on the banks of the Mississippi in Rock Island, IL. Etc., etc., etc.

It was such fun. And it was a great way to "see" each other while I was on the road.

*I would also travel with my own webcam on my laptop so that we could say, "Goodnight" to each other in person.

That's cool! I wish I had a laptop with me while I was there. I might have been able to go there and then run the 24 hour loop and see myself.

I promise that by the next trip, I shall have a lap top. With built in Wi Fi and a high speed modem. I'm still reading things I missed while I was there.

People have told me most of my adult life I should be doing voicework, too.

And of course DS Betsy has done voicework for a large part of her career. Though she doesn't do a fulltime radio gig anymore, she still gets asked to voice spots with great regularity. There's a series on green power alternatives that she voices that's all over the radio in these here parts.

And her radio saga continues: she actually said "no" to the higher offer a couple of weeks ago. Well lo and behold, the PM is on our machine again today, asking her to call him back. We've been laughing all day, doing routines about what he'll say. "OK, $100K for a 6 hour day, no creep, and Yu-Gi-Oh cards for both your boys. Now that's my final offer." Pause. "OK, OK, $120 for a 5 hour day, top billing over the other host, and lifetime shopping priveleges at Toys R Us. Now that is really my final, final offer." Pause. "No, wait..." Well, you get the idea.

BTW, "creep" is a radio term for being asked to do extra newscasts after your regular shift. It's a regular feature of the new, improved Megalopoly rules where national concerns own sometimes 5 or 6 stations in one market. The voice talent voices segments for all the different stations.

I'm back from listening to lots of music with Mr. Kevin Spirtas.

BUTT - let me get this perfectly straight - the last post was over TWO HOURS AGO. May I just say that that makes me want to vomit on the ground.

We're havin' the old BAMBOOZLE here at haineshisway.com. I should think we'd better get some postin' goin' on before I get ye olde bitch-slap machine out.

New car! Excellent. A perfect excuse to drive down to Book Baron.

Good Evening!

Well... I was going to see SHOCKHEADED PETER....

Hi!.. Do you...

-Sold out. Sorry.

How about the 10 o'...

-Sorry. Sold out.

Ah, well... Guess it just wasn't meant to be this trip. I'm guessing with all the spring-breakers in town - high school and college age - the 10:00 show - and $25.00 tickets have been pretty popular. And it's also been a very well-reviewed show, too, so... Guess I'll just pop in a DVD from "The Family Guy" set.

Good show. Good audience. Not a big audience. Not a responsive audience. But a good audience nonetheless.

I need to get my wisdom teeth pulled within the next month or so. $:-\$ I've been told to get them all out at once because you'll never want to go through it again.

Well, I enjoyed MEDIUM. Nope, it wasn't as compelling an episode as we've had in past episodes. Time didn't really seem t be of essence in the story which turned the tension level down some notches.

Still, the way her psychic powers are incorporated into daily life is still rather fascinating for me.

DRJOSE have you gotten any fan mail or mash notes during this run?

And they've done a credible job with adapting THE OFFICE into the American scheme of things. I laughed out loud a couple of times even though I was totally familiar with the story since the pilot episode was based on the first episode of Britain's THE OFFICE. The other five episodes which have been shot for the show will feature all new scripts, not adapted from British OFFICE scripts. I'll be curious on Tuesday to see how they do on their own. I do like the cast a lot.

I watched THE STARLET this evening. The acting "coach" should be shot and all of those girls should go home and direct the shows for the high schools in their towns - no I take that back. They should buy tickets and watch the shows put on by the high schools in their towns.

And the 9th season of FRIENDS has some gut-busting episodes. I'm on the third disc in the set now, and I have laughed heartily all afternoon.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #201 on:** March 24, 2005, 08:02:14 PM »

I didn't watch THE OFFICE DRMATTH....hmmmmmmm...... It's hard for me to decide to invest the time in a series. And of course if I like it, then I get upset if I miss it, if it's moved around on the schedule, or if it's cancelled.....

I can't win.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #202 on:** March 24, 2005, 08:03:44 PM »

I really liked the cast of FRIENDS - and the ones that were funny were really FUNNY. I guess it's the A Story-B Story sitcom writing that gets SO predictable now that bothers me.

Sadly, no. But we still have four performances left! -And, actually, I know I have some friends coming to see it this weekend, so that should be fun.

"Real life" has been getting in the way lately, and so I'm way behind on reading posts-- and even posting.

Sometimes it's hard to tell my worst fears and nightmares from my daily life. I guess the easiest way to tell is that when it's only a nightmare, I wake up screaming and the nighmare ends. In daily life, I wake up screaming, but it still goes on. I'm kidding. Well, partially.

There will only be six episodes total this season. Honestly, I think it's too droll to succeed on a mass scale that a network show needs to prosper. I'll find a show whereever it lands on a schedule IF I LIKE IT. I liked this enough to tune in on Tuesday night (well, I'll record since I'll be watching HOUSE live).

If the writing is THIS good (and it is terrific for these characters that fans know oh so well), the formula simply works.

BTW, NBC "supersized" most of this season's episodes so there are actually A story, B story, and C story threads in most of them.
