~~~~~SAFE TRAVEL AND COMMUTING VIBES TO THOSE DRS AND FAMILY MEMBERS HAVING TO DEAL WITH INCLEMENT WEATHER~~~~~

DR singdaw - That story about your keys and the "reward"... Well... That's truly awful. I think I would have done the same thing that you did just to get out of the situation ASAP, and also because my mind would have been in shock from the lack of moral and social mores, that I wouldn't have been able to think of anything else to do on the spot.

Thanks for the travel vibes, DR Jose. I'm glad your trip yesterday went smoothly and that you're back in NYC where you belong.

Actually, a question for ask Bk (or anyone else) day - Thinking about it in a real mugging situation - Would making the crook think you're sending his photo to your blog in case he does something violent prevent the thief from doing something violent or make it worse? Obviously, this would only be applicable if one felt the mugger was about to do something violent to you.

Well, since most camera phones take a few button pushes to get them to work, I don't think one would have the time to take the picture. At the very least, the mugger would most likely take the phone out of your hand anyway.

Can you DO that if you only have 27 dresses?

I think the groggy is soggy and I'm bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, whatever the HELL that means.

I'm glad to see that Fred the Usurper hasn't caught on as a nickname.

DS Rob just called me to report that they have arrived safely at their destination in Michigan. Thanks for all the vibes!

Only because:

[1] DR Miss Karen hasn't been around enough lately, and
[2] I'm too lazy to type all that!

ps: have you checked in over at DataLounge lately?

I found a credit card in a parking lot and returned it to the bank. I found a check in a parking lot and took it home, called the person on the phone, and mailed it back. I never expected anything for doing what a person should do.

I think I talked about this here - but I found a wallet outside of Amoeba, right near my car where I'd parked on Cahuenga. It was a young girl's wallet, a college student. I took it home with me. There was a little cash, a couple of credit cards, some ID. I knew she must be freaking out. The address on her license was out of town. So, I called her credit card companies and told them I'd found her wallet and they said they'd take the info. I asked to talk to a supervisor and told her that the girl was probably freaking out, that she wasn't from LA and that I wanted her or her parents to be called. The supervisors at both companies agreed to do it, I gave them my phone number and info. About a half-hour later the girl called, really relieved that I'd found it. I told her she could come to my house to get it, or if she wasn't comfortable with that I'd be happy to meet her somewhere. She came over (with her boyfriend in tow), and I gave it back to her.

I did some fixing and rewriting and then wrote two additional new pages - I'll probably try to write three more during the day.

bk, your work ethic is truly admirable.

Thanks, DRs Singdaw and Julie. Can you hear the sound of me exhaling?

Perhaps we'll have a photo of DR Edisaurus's new curtains...

Yes! It's sort of the opposite of what Ross Perot memorably called that great sucking sound!

Well, I'm back at the office. I still haven't completely caught up, mainly because I spent Sunday, Monday and Tuesday sick! The worst was Monday but I'm feeling better now.

We went to Brooklyn on Sunday to visit Anthony's cousins. I think too much pizza, wine and chocolate cake did me in (also there were some sick children in the home).

To resurrect a phrase from my college years, I spent Monday driving the porcelain bus. I slept most of yesterday and felt well enough this morning to come to the office. I decided not to come in at 6am (my usual time which allows me to eat breakfast, browse e-mail and other sites and check in here) but instead I came in at my normal start time of 8am. I went home at lunch and had some soup and took a nap. I will go home at 4pm, probably have more soup and go to bed early.

Before I leave, George, JMK mentioned a site you linked to called Freevid and Freerecorder. I haven't caught up yet and I may have missed it. When I google that phrase all I find is porn references. Could you possibly enlighten me as to the correct Internet location of Freevid so that I can bypass the porn? Thanks.

singdaw · « **Reply #174 on:** January 02, 2008, 11:44:39 AM »

DR Ben, it's www.keepvid.com...

They're about to have a big Otto Preminger fest here in LA, at both the Egyptian and the Aero Theaters. I'm going to go to practically all of the screenings, but am most interested to see Exodus on the big screen. I'm hoping that minimally they have a 35mm Tech print, but wouldn't it be amazing if they'd struck a new 70mm print for the fest? I think we would know if they had, but one can dream. Also seeing Bunny Lake, Bonjour Tristesse (which I've never seen on the big screen), Hurry Sundown, Saint Joan, Advise and Consent, and one or two others. And don't forget, TCM is showing the legendary and horrific Skidoo this week.

Ginny · « **Reply #177 on:** January 02, 2008, 12:32:06 PM »

DR Ben - it's no fun to ring in the New Year the way you did! Glad to hear that you're feeling better.

bk · « **Reply #178 on:** January 02, 2008, 12:32:33 PM »

Wrote another couple of pages, and will probably write one more this afternoon, for a total of seven.

bk · « **Reply #179 on:** January 02, 2008, 12:32:47 PM »

But now it's time to think about FOOD.
