Why are you ~~terrorizing~~ flying to Memphis?

I was wondering about that, too. I figured there might be an interviewee living there...somebody who did western movies, perhaps....

Thus far, however, I've managed to avoid "low humming"

Just maintain a WIDE STANCE and you should be fine.

The second OLD CHRISTINE episode was less funny but more poignant. New Christine and Richard have bought a dream home, and of course it ended up being the house Old Christine had always wanted for her dream home. It drives her batty to see her ex-husband and his new girl friend luxuriating in her favorite house of all time.

Still, some good sight gags as Christine tries to turn her current house into a dream home with disastrous results.

For those who fly frequently.....I have been checking flights to Memphis from Portland. There are no non-stops. The flights with one stop (in Denver) only give you about 20 minutes to change planes. That doesn't seem like much time to me...flight lands at 2:22Pm and next flight departs at 3:00pm.

Is that normal, or is in necessary to book my flights in a different fashion (Peasant dress and black sandles).

If I'm remembering correctly, the Denver airport is very "connection" friendly - each of the terminals are exclusive to one airline - so you may just be going from gate to gate within the same terminal. So, it might be doable. However, you should go ahead and check to see what the next flight is out of Denver to Memphis, just to make sure you have that option. And if you really don't feel like rushing, then just call the airline directly, and book the later connecting flight.

DR MBarnum - Well, Memphis is the major FedEx Hub. Maybe you could just box yourself up, and then have your brother ship you special delivery!

With literally nothing else worth my time when these aired, I watched them both. The first was amusing. The second...UGH.

It's a strain for me to enjoy a show in which the main character is ALWAYS fortune's fool. As much as I loved "Frasier", I could always tell which episodes to avoid because the writers would set up Frasier and/or Niles as a major twit just waiting to be humiliated. I am never amused at this type of characterization. That second episode was only marginally better than any episode of "Joey", which is to say....Not For Me!

Then I watched BEE MOVIE. It's mildly pleasant, mildly witty, but with this killer comic cast, it should have been much funnier. And the animation isn't the knockout detailed animation that the Pixar guys do either. It seems to have been done on the cheap compared to the Pixar projects.

Jerry Seinfeld, Renee Zellweger, Chris Rock, Kathy Bates, John Goodman, Patrick Warburton, Oprah Winfrey, Ray Liotta (his cameos are the funniest things in the movie, probably because he's not TRYING to be funny playing anything but himself), Matthew Broderick, Megan Mullally, Sting (of course someone with THAT name would HAVE to be in BEE MOVIE).

The 2-disc set is loaded with bonus stuff, and I watched everything on disc one (and will listen to the commentary track tonight instead of doing EASTERN PROMISES tonight). I enjoyed seeing the cast recording their lines.

Unlike the Disney method which doesn't let people record together, Jerry often recorded scenes with Matthew Broderick, Chris Rock, Renee Zellweger, or Patrick Warburton in the studio with him where they would ad-lib, a lot of which they claim ended up in the movie. If it did because they thought it was so funny, the script must have REALLY been a dog.

I checked Travelocity and found some flights that give me around an hour or more to catch the cpnnecting flight (connects in Fort Worth), and I am not checking baggage.

These gas prices are absolutely ridiculous and it is going to take yet another game-playing threat by the government to get them down again - it's happened every year for the last three years and I really wish that they DO something to these oil companies that would finally send them a clear message that this is not acceptable. It couldn't have come at a worse time than making these treks down to Anaheim so often.

I think you have a frustrating time ahead.

Gasoline prices are surely going to increase some more - the advent of the summer reformulation requirements (government mandated) always adds to the cost/price.

The increase use of ethanol (government mandated) will add to the cost/price.

Higher prices at the well-head will always be reflected in higher prices at the pump.

Be thankful if gasoline stays under $4.00 by Labor Day.

And remember, many activists (me included) would like to see the Federal Government slap an additional $1.00/gallon tax on gasoline to act as a prod toward reducing fossile fuel consumption as part of an overall energy program.

The topic of the day
At Haines His Way
Is rhythm and rhyme.
And we've got time
To ennumerate
What makes us DRs so great:
Some DRs are snarky,
And some full of malarkey.
Some are fun;
Some can't resist a bad pun.
Some are horny
While some can be corny.
Some make us laugh-
Clever again by half!
Some talk of food
When they're of a mood.
Some are musicians
While some drive petitions.
Some are artistic
And some solipsistic.
Some wax poetic
Whilst feeling pathetic.
Some offer vibes
While some compose jibes.
But we're a great bunch,
And that ain't just a hunch!
With a leader in chief
Who's still got the beef!

Nice!

A fellow actor pointed out to me a few years ago, that as I inhale for my first breath onstage, and my body begins its first step to walking onstage; I have an unconscious habit of brushing my hand over my fly to be sure that it was closed. After having it pointed out to me, I have caught myself doing it. On one show I found myself doing it, even though the pants I was wearing in this show had no fly.

Better to be safe than sorry!

They loved the music (yay!) and their only changes were to add 3 or 4 more shows not on the list. So I should be able to finish it up tomorrow and then start on The Closer on Wed.

My fear was that it was nothing like they wanted and I would have to abandon the project to another editor.

Great news-Congrats!

Leaving soon to end my workday at Kroger, shopping for tomorrow's brownbag lunch. We provide cookies (I'm thinkin' shamrocks), chocolate, and soft drinks. People are supposed to bring their lunches, but I think some of them let what we provide suffice.
