Good morning, all! This morning, Toyland. That should last till about 2 pm, and I believe then I will toddle home and deal with whatever fresh hell awaits me here.

DR Jose, my schedule this week is open, so I'm good for dinner any night.

I want to see JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH again, but now there's this mummy movie, and I see on Fandango that they are both playing a block from my home. Hmmm . . .

Doesn't anyone have the Dorothy Provine Gay 90s album with Joe "Fingers" Carr (oy, that name! sounds like a pedophile)? After all that 20s vo-de-o-do, I want to hear her be a bird in a gilded cage.

With Arnold's continued absence, for the word of the day DIVAGATE, a possible song of the day could be:

"The Wanderer" sung by Dion (not sure if it's with or without the Belmonts)

Without. The Belmonts were out stealing hub caps.

Chicken?

All I ever seem to eat is chicken. My wife makes it many different ways, and they're all good.

However, the truth is that my all-time favorite chicken meal is Colonel Saunders' ORIGINAL RECIPE.

It's the best tasting fried chicken in the world.

Unfortunately, it's probably also the unhealthiest, which is why I haven't eaten it in years.

Miss Edisaurus, Mr. Anthony thanks you for the greeting.

He, and the cows, are happy.

DR Elmore = the joe fingers/Dorothy LP is available at reasonable prices from sellers at Gemm.com

It is too expensive for me to purchase as the mailing is WOW!
Otherwise I'd happily buy it, and transfer it to CD for you.

Perhaps another caring DR would do so!

Will BK include Bacharach's wonderful "Take Me To your Ladder - I'll see your leader later"?

re: the TLC Paul McKenna show, I CAN MAKE YOU THIN (that was on TLC in march/april):

I watched the final show last night. It was very interesting and i think i'd like to try it.

Basically this guy has a plan that supposedly works (there were tons of people there and it worked for them). And the studio audience did it during the series and it worked for them.

There are 4 rules:
1.eat when you are hungry
2.eat what you want, not what you think you should eat (that includes ANYTHING)
3.eat very slowly, chew your food, do not watch tv or have distractions and eat consciously.
4.stop as soon as you are full.

He has acupuncture techniques that stop cravings. He uses associations in case you eat based on emotion. Or if you have a food that you just binge on all the time.

There was a lady who ate 5 lbs of chocolates a day.
He had her pinch her left middle finger and thumb together. And then think of anchovies and warms and barber floor hair. And then pretend to scoop it up and eat it. And then she added chocolate to it. By the end she did not want chocolate again.

He also had people pinch their right thumb and middle finger and try to think of a very happy time.

He also made everyone get a pedometre. And count their steps. He did not say you had to exercise like a freak. But in the last show he did do the thumb thing to make people associate exercising as a good thing.

As i said yesterday, i would suspect it would work quite easily for people very overweight. Especially the part about them stopping as soon as they are full.

I am a little more skepticaly about the eating any food for me personally. Since these people were taking huge portions. ANd so obviously they would get full before they were done. I personally take quite small portions, but finish it. aNd if i am still hungry i take more.

I like the part about eating when you're hungry. And about chewing very slowly without distractions. And i will try stopping as soon as i am full.

But i never binge ate. Although i do love sweets. It's not like i would have them around to eat them!

But one of his points is not making people feel like they are deprived. He doesn't want people to not have the food around that they love. He wants them to have it but be able to choose when they eat it.

I think i will try all components of this plan except the eat whatever you want part. Even though right now i'm only eating healthy foods. I don't eat things i don't like just because they are good for me. I love the salad i eat every day because i made a dressing i love.

But i do think that once i've lost these 10-12 lbs that i would like to try that part of the plan as well. To see if it works!

Has anybody heard of this plan? Tried it?

I was bummed that i watched the whole MOLE last night and it wasn't the finale. Maybe they said it and i missed it. But i wish they had just set out that we would not find out who the mole was!

Last night we had major blow ups among the staff and everything got very quiet, and by the end of the night, no one was speaking to anyone else.

WOW! Just like on THE Broadway!!!

So... Do you think your director will be quietly replaced somewhere along the line, and the bookwriter's teenage daughter making better suggestions than her mother? -Not that I would know of such things.

You must have not watched the previous three installments of the series because it's ALWAYS been run this way. That's why I knew what would happen without even consulting TV GUIDE or any other reference.

And you mentioned last night that you would rather have had a two hour finale. Would make artistic sense but not ratings sense. THE MOLE has been a ratings dud for ABC, and there was no way in the world they were going to drag down their Monday night average by telecasting two hours of a low-rated show. Don't expect to see THE MOLE again next summer.

I had to cut promos for it so I watched the whole series of 4. I haven't tried the plan but I think it contains useful information and techniques that can be incorporated into any diet.

High of 96 today speaks for itself. When will it be fall?

Matt H. · « **Reply #57 on:** August 05, 2008, 07:41:08 AM »

Nothing on TV for me tonight. The NCIS rerun is the finale from season 4 (which I own on DVD), so I won't be watching, but I'm hopeful next week we'll jump to season five where I only watched a couple of episodes.

I'm scheduled to get the DVD set for review later this month, but, alas, they won't be in high definition.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #58 on:** August 05, 2008, 07:42:13 AM »

Question to CLOSER watchers:

The producer I work with has Charter digital cable. I have Comcast and watch the show in HD.

We had both noticed an occasional stuttering of image in the show, although commercials and our promos look fine.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Matt H. · « **Reply #59 on:** August 05, 2008, 07:42:38 AM »

The reviewing plan for today is still AFFINITY unless the Blu-ray of NIXON arrives. If that happens, I'll work on it since it's so long, and I have the entire day free.
