Almost two songs in the can - seven more to go. Moving slowly today because of some string problems with intonation.

Yeah, but she's my myth.

Name that movie!

I believe that is from Xanadu.

Thanks to DR MBARNUM for the DVD surprises I received via USPS today!

Maybe it's the humidity!

Oh, I forgot...

It's a dry heat.

One of the things I was told repeatedly when der B and I were still planning on our move to Delaware was that I would hatehatehate (see, repeatedly) the humidity during the summer.

It doesn't bother me at all.

I feel it, sure, but it doesn't drag me down or make me feel terribly uncomfortable.

I'm also not bothered by the idea of winter, now that I've been through a few of them. In fact, I rather enjoy having seasons and change.

I just wish we had more fireflies this year. I love those little critters.

-While walking the other night, I happened to see a whole bunch of fireflies in the park area in back of the New York Historical Society and the Natural History Museum. Always a beautiful sight. Oh, and I've also seen them in my "backyard" too lately.

Do you have air conditioning? It makes a world of difference. I know from having spent 13 years without it, including going through one pregnancy. Those summers of cleaning & slaving over a hot stove were not fun. I enjoyed the few years we belonged to a swim club.

Hmm... I keep reading the news reports about the supposed leaks of the new Harry Potter book. I say "supposed" since not all of the spoilers seem to agree with each other. So...

There were some reports about some people already being disappointed about finding out what the outcome of the book was in advance. However, I do have ask: If you saw a story/post/report saying that it included the plot points of the new Harry Potter book, then why did you read it if you didn't want to know?

We have been invaded by a camera crew from ET. Madness. We'll really have to play catch up this afternoon.

I'm trying not too. Sometimes key words pop up & I can't help it. I'm doing my best. I knew I could keep reading your post, you would never leak anything.

Jason, regarding the Bodies exhibit. I don't think you're missing anything. I went a while ago when it was still being promoted as having an end date. It's now an open end exhibition. I guess anything that pays rent to that building at South Street Seaport (which when it opened lo these many years ago was a shopping mall with many different eateries). I was underwhelmed and also a bit bothered by the fact that I handed over $30 for a rather gruesome exhibition of skinned bodies. I posted about it months ago because there are other exhibits around the country of the same thing. As I just said, I find it somewhat gruesome. I didn't find it educational. It's also a very big (read time consuming) exhibit and I was glad to get out when it was over. I mentioned in my earlier post that the most interesting thing about it was reading many of the comments in the books which repeated a theme of STOP STEALING DEAD ASIAN BODIES. All the figures in the exhibit are Asian and despite repeated assurances that they were obtained legally there are many people who believe that the exhibitors paid to get dead bodies and then stripped away the skin, treated them and put them up for exhibit. Save your $30 for another balcony view of Patti and a piece of Monkey Cake.

Well, there is that.

But actually, I was thinking of the joke from "The Muppet Movie." Someone says in reference to Kermit, "Don't touch the frog...you'll get warts!" And Kermit says, "That's a myth." And Telly Savalas (I think) says, "Yeah, but she's my myth."

Our library received the Harry Potter books!! They're being processed and then they'll be stored in my supervisor's supervisor's office until Saturday. Oooo...the anticipation!

It was a funny episode! She and her gang are in England.

Der Brucer wants to get onto the computer.

No doubt, he wants to read spoilers.

Nice that you are sharing part of your rare time off with us, DR Jeanne! [Or are you avoiding dealing with unwanted clutter, perhaps? ] In any case, have a great day!

I will be going to lunch with my best friend from high school, who currently lives clear across the country in Washington state, but is in town, visiting.

Where in Washington State, Slingblade?

Interesting story about the wannabe producer(s). Heaven help us from people who dabble in things they know nothing about.

I also had strange dreams last night about cooking meals for people I didn't know and trying new recipes that I couldn't read. Very weird.

I began my afternoon watching a MOONLIGHTING episode. In this one, a mysterious veiled lady asks David and Maddie to track down a man who had thrown acid in her face many years ago.

A very weak mystery as the step-up required some unusual costumes which kind of gave the game away.

Dennis Christopher was the primary guest star.

Matt H. · « **Reply #205 on:** July 18, 2007, 01:19:04 PM »

Then I watched and enjoyed another fun episode of MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST. I loved Kathy with Graham Norton and would have loved to see more of her British stage show. She looked like she really caught fire that night and they were getting her act completely.

Matt H. · « **Reply #206 on:** July 18, 2007, 01:20:26 PM »

Then, I watched another MOONLIGHTING episode. In this one, Maddie and David fly to Buenos Aires to track down the accountant who had stolen Maddie's millions and opened his own casino. Again, no mystery at all, and I got very angry at their stupidity and wastefulness.

Matt H. · « **Reply #207 on:** July 18, 2007, 01:22:06 PM »

Very, very sad about Jerry Hadley. Amazing how someone can appear to have it all at one moment and be down and out so quickly.

TCB · « **Reply #208 on:** July 18, 2007, 01:25:31 PM »

Okay first let me say that I do not work for the New Jersey Tourist Board. However, if you look at say THE SHERATON SUITES which is at the Ferry Terminal on the Hudson in, I believe Union City. Through Expedia, listing dates of 9/21 thru 9/30 (as an example) which is nine nights; the cost is about $2,450.00 approximately for one person. NOT a big savings!

However since these are all suites, they sleep four people for a total of $2990.00 for nine nights. But that is for 4 people which brings the cost of the hotel down to $750.00 per person for a nine night stay.

And the ferry takes you from your hotel to 39th Street in Midtown.

Just a thought!

Well, I just found out that a manhole exploded into flames right around the corner from me, and that resulted in a building right near me being evacuated for resulting carbon monoxide leaks. Fire trucks all over the place, with street closures and lots of resulting traffic jams. It also knocked out telephone service in the neighborhood, and I am told it won't be restored until tomorrow at the earliest. At least no one was injured.

~~~Safety Vibes for Julie and Neighbors!!~~~
