Welcome back DtM. If you had emptied your in box here you would have received an abusive welcome back there!

Good to see you are OK.

Wow!

I just got a surprise - a very wonderful package from DR Tomovoz. Dear DR Tomovoz - you are far too generous. Thanks for the time you spent, and for caring...

Beautiful butterflies, DR DearReaderLaura - thank you!

Thank you Laura. Lovely Flutterbies indeed.

Back to bed for a while. It's not yet 7.00am.

There must have been thousands of butterflies at the arboretum today. It was breathtaking.

I use the TV for live sports and breaking news. It has ceased being a form of entertainment.

I watch one comedy and one drama because friends of mine work on them. 30 Rock and The Closer. I'm not embarrassed for my friends, as each seems to out-class the competition.

I've been fascinated by Mad Men's production design. It's set in the year and place of my birth, and how often do you get to see that? I don't like the characters, nor do I find the drama compelling; watching with the sound off would do the trick.

"Reality" shows are never like reality and are ALL based on the premise that "real" people will make themselves look stupid.

A season or so ago I enjoyed Gregory Itzen's impersonation of Richard Nixon on 24.

Some cartoons aren't so bad. And while I can't stand doctor shows, House often makes me giggle.

I have nothing pretentious to say about TV.

I like what I like, whether anyone else likes it or not:

Lost
Heroes
Ugly Betty
Medium
Jericho
Ghost Whisperer
Smallville
Supernatural

Am Looking Forward to:

Journeyman
Tin Man

I am heading down now to read a bit and then back to TV for my evening of viewing entertainment. I cleaned the dining room this mornig, so I don't have to worry about doing that.

Next, I watched the first of the two Disney Channel DVDs which came in today - RETURN TO HALLOWEENTOWN.

It's amazing that the current generation of preteens has this whole world of Disney favorites that have nothing to do with the Disney of old (Mickey Mouse, Herbie the Love Bug, etc.)

It's probably because Mickey Mouse and some of the other characters will soon be in the public domain and The Mouse House needs other franchises to keep their income coming in.

Oh, I forgot to put Desperate Housewives on my TOD list.

I was going to keep MOST EXTREME ELIMINATION CHALLENGE on my list, but this season, from the handful of episodes I watched, doesn't seem to be quite as funny as past seasons.

And if I had more time to watch TV and fewer DVDs that I need to catch up on I would likely have many more favorite shows on my list.

It seems like it's been awhile since we've had some nice bugs from DR Laura. Thank you! (All we seem to have here are mosquitos!)

Good Evening!

DR Jason and I ended up having another wonderful lunch at Landmarc in the Time-Warner Center. Today's selections: Smoked Mozzarella and Ricotta Fritters and Fried Zucchini served with Spicy Marinara; Landmarc Chicken Burger with Fries and Salad Greens; Frisee Salad with Lardons (and the requisite poached egg). All quite good and yummy.

And for dessert, we ordered a sampler of today's ice cream and sorbet flavors (each one served in their own sugar cone, and their own holder): milk chocolate and mint chocolate chip ice creams, and coconut sorbet. Quite the bargain for only $8.00. -However, as DR Jason discovered, if you do have the mint chocolate chip ice cream, know that the mint flavor is quite pronounced (and still good) that it makes it hard to properly taste the other flavors.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #261 on:** August 27, 2007, 03:22:47 PM »

And then walked around and around the Park. DR Jason ended up taking some pictures of some interesting debris we came across.

I ended up heading back home, and left Jason on his own in the big scary Park. My feet are still recovering from yesterday, and I have a big ole mosquito bite on the back of my left leg which seems to be at it's worst today. In any case, it's nice putting my feet up right now.

Hmm... Watching some show on Discovery Home. Right now, a contractor is discovering the amazingly and appallingly bad work of the previous contractor. It only took five minutes to take off the roof liner, since the original contractor didn't bother to seal the tar paper, nor nail the gutter walls in place properly. Now that's some bad work.

DR td, Joe Keenan is no longer associated with DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. He asked to be let out of his contract at the end of season three. I'm assuming he and Marc Cherry just couldn't see eye-to-eye on the tone for the show or where they wanted it to go, and since it is basically Cherry's to do with as he pleases, well, Keenan left.

That's sad, BUT Nathan Fillion is joining the cast, so, hoo and ray!
