Just back from the DR. (that's doctor, not dear reader).  Its seems I am (or have been for a while) at least 33% over what the charts say my proper weight should be.  Not sure if 33% is any sort of benchmark (I think 25% marks one as "obese" and I guess I sort of kind of knew that).  


I always tell folk I am the correct weight for a man the height of 10 feet 6 inches.

I like this show.  I'm glad it's back. :)

It's always good for a few chuckles, and the cast works marvelously together.

That's why he is so good on the keyboard.  :o

DR JENNIFER - how is your birthday going?

Not bad. But my package is perpetually "out for delivery". Weird.

Had lunch with my baby niece. And am getting ready to go for ribs.  My favorite restaurant makes the best ones!

It has been really gloomy out though. So that is sort of depressing (especially since it has been this way for a week).

Great critical remark (I believe I first heard it used by critic Stewart Klein of Channel 5 News, I forget about which show) using the expression "sort of"  -  This show is the sort of thing you'll like if you like this sort of thing.

And who can argue with logic like that?  ;D

In honour of DR Jennifer's birthday (She'll understand), I refreshed page five a few times looking for new posts without realising the world had moved on to page 6.

Just finished seven pages and the dreaded monologue, which came out pretty well, I think.  Unlike Deceit's monologue, this one's only a page-and-a-half.  I went back and fixed a few things from yesterday's work to, and am now at page eighty, and the last ten pages or so of the play.  Deceit ran a scant fifty-nine pages in Final Draft (which translated to a seventy-seven minute show) - so, this seems a bit more full-length, page-wise and probably time wise.  And I'll probably still go back and make some additions when I'm finished.  If it comes in between ninety and ninety-five pages, I'll be very happy.

Less than two hundred postings to go until our new major plateau of 200,000 posts.  It will probably happen tomorrow, so if it does we have to decide whether our partay is tomorrow right when it happens, or whether we make it an "official" partay on Friday.  Thoughts?

When I googled "Gorilla My Dreams" (at least my fingers are getting exercise), this is what came up:


I asped the elephant in the elevator
Where you had gone, he said you were boozing round with the bees
When I had the bucks my dear, you were so fawn
Now my doe is gone and you're so colt to me
Camels in the zoo singing one hump or two
But I can't bear to see them no cow
I feel the loss a lot, I miss you an ocelot
I wonder who's kitten you now
My llama mama what's gnu with you
With your cat's pyjamas and his cockatoo
I'm hippo what toucan do
You sealed your fate with him

Chorus:
Gorilla my dreams
you're a cheetah is seems
fly are you lion to me
you otter be sad losing me
(for goodness snakes)

I toad you donkey me waitin', why you hesitatin'
I'll pig you up at ape, iguana bison rings and meat you at your front boar
You mustang gone in his big black carp when he gibbon you that new mink cape

There's no depenguin on you that's for sure (sheep skate)
You played me for a sucker, at leech they said,
I was sow gull-a-bull
Ain't no mousetake you snake I'll make you egret you treated me so cruel
Gonna grab my cat, gonna grab my goat
Gonna ram you worms right down your throat
I kangaroo in this sad stoat, you sealed your fate with him.

And accompanied himself on the violin at the same time!  8)
