Even using GuruNet, it doesn't come up, and I KNOW that there is a word for those songs in musicals. . .

I'm watching the sublime The Hairdresser's Husband.

I ate a dount and some ice cream.

I'm fighting a little headache which has been dancing about my temples for the last two hours.

I got an autographed copy of a Billy Herrington video in the mail today.

I presume that is Billy Herrington the "actor"! If so, then woohoo! LOL!

Woohoo! Indeed. I've tried to find a suitable photo to post of Mr. H., but. . .well, that's the way the kumquat OOZEs. . . .

Jane, I meant to tell you that if my link to BBC7 doesn't work just type it into your search engine and I'm sure it will bring you to the site (or just go to the BBC page which will link you to everything BBC...radio and TV), then click on the "LISTEN AGAIN" section...and it take to a page where you can get programmes for the last seven days that you can listen to at anytime.

Thanks, I'm still working on it.

Somehow or other I ended up on Billy Herrington's e-mail list and I get e-mails from him regularly...I must have visited a website I shouldn't have! LOL!

Our Trader Joe's in Lake Oswego is nice...but a lot of KILL YOUR TELEVISION bumper stickers in the parking lot...and that always scares me!

I love my television set and could never kill it!

Yeah, that's MY excuse, too.

(seriously, though, the package -so to speak - was work related).

Ahhh...yes....the temples dance. I know it well. I don't suppose a little Rozsa from "King of Kings" would play well about now?

Good evening!

Back from the Apple Store...

Well, no "class" today since there was no one else in the store at the time. So I ended up with a one-on-one with one of the Mac specialists. I really didn't have that many questions, but I actually ended up asking a question that sort of stumped him. And a few of his co-workers.

I still learned a few things, and I'll head back when they have one of the iLife demos/workshops. I may actually give the Garage Band program a try.

After my Mac fix, I walked around the Mall and did some more window shopping. What was amazing to see was the number of closed and empty storefronts since this Mall has only been open for about 14 months so far. That's the retail biz I guess.

Then it was over to Arby's for some dinner. This location is not your typical Arby's. There's a family that runs most of the Arby's locations in the Richmond area, and some of the locations are quite upgraded. Table service, real plates, real silverware, etc. I ended up having a steak sandwich that was cooked to order, plus some fries and a Jamocha shake. Oh, and there are four HDTV screens set up, each set up to a different channel. I settled in front of the FoodTV one, and for my Ina Garten fix for the week.

Then it was over to CompUSA. I guess it's not meant for me to buy a new digital camera or printer this week - both models I wanted were out of stock. But, I did pick up Microsoft Office for the Mac - and just finished installing it.

Then it was over to Target for a Universal Remote - the TV remote here at the apartment seems to have blown up or something. -And I'm not even going to bother with asking my roommate what happened. At least it wasn't mine - and the new one was only $7.00, so... No big whoop.

And now I'm here.

Exciting, huh?

bk · « **Reply #225 on:** February 07, 2005, 07:26:19 PM »

Yes, King of Kings, starring the divoon Frank Thring - danssssse Salome.

Can one of you computer whiz kids tell me what batteur means in French. I think it's drummer.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #226 on:** February 07, 2005, 07:28:46 PM »

Oh... While I was at CompUSA I finally checked out HP's "small" laser printer - and it's currently on sale for only $149. Hmm... I don't print out photos, so... Hmm...

Rodzinski · « **Reply #227 on:** February 07, 2005, 07:32:31 PM »

Drummer, yes.

JoseS- Garage Band is pretty sweet.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #228 on:** February 07, 2005, 07:48:16 PM »

Time for a Sloppy Joe sandwich.

I think I will watch THREE COINS IN THE FOUNTAIN tonight.

JRand54, the KILL YOUR TELEVISION contingent believes that television is:

"An addictive device which keeps the lower classes subdued; a perpetuator of violence and materialism; and a silent destroyer of intellectualism"

Now, what they fail to understand is that without television no one would be able to see a June Kenney or Allison Hayes movie! If they were to have the opportunity to view, oh say, ATTACK OF THE 50 FT WOMAN or EARTH VS THE SPIDER, I do think they would be singing a different tune.......or not! LOL!

I had Taco Bell for lunch. I hadn't been there in awhile, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

BK - Or any other Mac-ers...

Have you checked out the program, Delicious Library? Very cool cataloguing/home library system. You enter or scan the barcodes on your CDs, DVDs and books, and it looks up the info on the internet - and will even place a "picture" of it into your computer library set-up. Pretty neat. And not too expensive either. I'm not sure I want to spurge on an iSight camera right now, but the info can be entered by hand too.

Finally got around to watching NUMBERS which I had recorded from last Friday night. It IS a good series, but it is certainly wasting Judd Hirsch in a nothing father role. Like Ken Howard who was finally phased out of CROSSING JORDAN playing Jill Hennessey's father, these father characters just don't interact in the cases, and since these ARE procedural dramas, family life isn't really necessary to the plots.

In the two (out of three) episodes of NUMBERS that I've seen, Hirsch mainly spent his time yammering at his genius mathematics whiz kid for not being married. Oy!

SPOILER ALERT FOR '24'

Another fantastic hour of '24' tonight. I was a bit disappointed that another mole had been planted at CTU, but rather than stretch out her sabotage for weeks and weeks, she was discovered and apprehended fairly quickly after setting someone else up to take the fall. Before the hour was up, '24' had totally redeemed itself yet again.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #235 on:** February 07, 2005, 08:31:20 PM »

DR MattH - Did you need to put a SPOILER ALERT on your previous post for the West Coast viewers?

Matt H. · « **Reply #236 on:** February 07, 2005, 08:37:56 PM »

Actually, viewers of the show knew who the mole was. I didn't tip off who she pinned the rap on, how she got caught, or any of the real surprises of the hour.

Nevertheless, I did put an alert there just in case.

The phone line gave out after an hour. Whatever problem there is is in the wires in the walls of the house, because the phone line works up until it gets to the junction box on the exterior wall in the backyard.

So right now, I am in the backyard in a lawn chair with a modem cord plugged into the juction box and the laptop, as the miracle seems to be over (Oh, a Brigadoon reference). My dad keeps singing the Green Acres theme song.

My mom was so kind as to take a picture.
