I hate it. Some people would be happy to hear this on the regular news broadcast....and not have regular programming interrupted.

They have $500 million of our tax money and now they want our television time, too.... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I have been perusing iTunes and searched "Sondheim" and there are several recordings that are listed as "partial albums." The live concert version of Anyone Can Whistle, Bernadette Peters' version of "The Legends of Broadway," the Leicester Haymarket production of Merrily We Roll Along, the original Broadway cast highlights release of Sweeney Todd and the OBC recording of Into the Woods are all available (on iTunes) only as "partial albums." Anyone Can Whistle has tracks 1, 3, 8, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 25, 26 and 27. And Into the Woods only has tracks 9 and 14!!

What's that all about??

I will let you know if they talk about it at the Dungy Press Conference, so far they have not.

They are hoping that next year's decision is not such a media event.

Who called the Press Conference, anyway? Huckleberry Finn?

Just returned from a shopping expedition to Value Village where I bought 3 pairs of pants for very little money. I needed them to accommodate my ever expanding waistline.

I weigh in at 192 pounds on my scale here at home...however, the scales at the store all said 185...so I will go with that.

If I do ever get back to the gym I have no doubt I will be sleek and slender once again and can fit into my old pants....however, that has not yet occurred on a regular basis.

MBarnum · « **Reply #216 on:** January 21, 2008, 02:01:08 PM »

Oh, and while I was at the check out counter the clerk asked if I wanted the Senior Citizen Discount (Value Village offers 40% off every Monday to seniors)!!!!!

Then the clerk looked up from his register and apologized saying that he gets so used to asking that on Monday's, and since he hadn't really even looked at me yet, he didn't notice that I was not quite that elderly.

Good save.

Just had to share.

And now, I'm off to watch some more episodes of "Reaper." I like this show.

I hope you are not going back to Value Village to get the chairs, DR MBARNUM. They aren't there.

Do you suppose Vend A Scent spritzes you with cologne or gives you a handful or a towelette? I think I want the Polo.

I was curious but didn't want to spend a euro to find out!

The explanation is simple...

He was referring your date.

Isn't MBarnum's date the same as ours? Or is he in an alternate universe?

I have done my pianistics, I have written six pages (and will probably write one more prior to the reading), I have seen proofs of the photos I'm printing up, I have bought printer ink, water, and Diet Coke, and I shall now begin organizing the home environment.

I just realized I could have made four or five posts out of that last post. WHAT was I thinking?

Somebody go order something from Kritzerland. We've had exactly two orders this year - not counting store orders, of course. Buy a book, buy a CD, but for heaven's sake buy something.

Does any DR have access to microfiche or newspapers - I am interested in an article that probably appeared in newspapers on March 17-19, 1959.

Yes, the reading is taking place in Ye Olde Living Roome.

I have seen fanfiction that would rank as an X....

It amazes me who they have doing it to whom...

DR Ron, I didn't make a snow angel, but my neighbor did. Here she is in action. You really can't see the angel very well in the photo, so I'm not posting it
