...MusicGuy, I'm in the Hilton Garden on Eight between 48th and 49th. Hilton took this place over last year and have completely renovated it. I, of course, can't remember what it was (can anyone?) but it was fairly cheesy prior to this. I'm very picky about hotels and I'm more than happy here.

BK, was it Ramada Inn? I have a Hagstrom map of Midtown that I bought my first time in NYC (1967) and it shows a RI on the east side of 8th between 48th & 49th.

I'm back from my book group, where we had were served a yummilicious cranberry upside-down cake.

That near quote, DRVIXMOM - as referenced by DR TCB - was from TEA & SYMPATHY.

Thanks for the link DR RLP....going back now to read Tim Gunn's interview.

Even as we speak, DR ELMORE and MR BK are brain storming BRAIN.

Great Tim Gunn interview. He spoke the truth and shamed the devil, as my granny used to say.

Is Michael Siberry related to Jane Siberry, the Candian singer? (Seems like an unusual name for two singers to share.)

Back from a lovelier than lovely time at Joe Allen. We laughed and laughed and just when we thought we could laugh no more we laughed again. We dished the dirt and we dirted the dish. We ate food, too. Elmore was there, my assistant Jonathan was there, our very own td and Evil Twin were there and it was all just too too.

TPunk, I would LOVE to see you - are you sure you can't make dinner tomorrow night? Because it's just a few people we're going out to eat. You could even show up late, if it's a time problem. Or, we could go to Joe Allen later tomorrow night.

I hurried home to be the first to post but I forgot that BK was staying a block from Joe Allen;s. It was indeed two and a half hours of mirth and celebrities galore, all my latest questions are answered on "The Brain," and it was great to see our DR td again, Bruce's assistant Jonathan, and former DR Evil Twin, who should come back to us.

Our host, the sparkling effervescent BK, was in usual top form, and tales were told and mud was flung.

Our new dishwasher seems to be working quite well so far, so if anyone has some dish they'd like to share, this would be a good opportunity.

I forgot to mention the two NBC comedies that I watched last night.

30 ROCK laid another egg with me apart from Alec Baldwin who really is the whole show. TIne Fey and Tracy Morgan just push too hard and aren't funny, and the show is sadly wasting Jane Krakowski's gifts. A shame.

I suspect this will be the last episode of the show that I watch.

Matt did you hear about the big shakeups at NBC?

To repeat an old favorite joke, what's a proper place setting for a HHW gathering?

Knife, fork, dish, dish, dish, dish

Do you know if they are going to replay the first few episodes. I missed them due to the last episodes of project runway. I've seen approximately 1 1/2 episodes of this show and I think I'd like to add it to my repitoire.

I haven't read of a marathon on ABC, but perhaps they've been scheduled for ABC Family or are the first episodes still available to be seen on-line (if you have a broadband connection). Might be worth doing a search because the show really is something special.

Michael, They are having Diwali celebrations here next wekeend with a three day bollywood festival... I hope to go to a couple of them. They are also showing Water, again. It is a film by Mehta Deepa.

One of the ways I heard the story about the GREY'S ANATOMY scuffle is that Washington called Knight a "b*tch" as opposed to the gay "f" word.

Yes, I did read about the firings and changes in venue for MSNBC. I also read something kind of ominous. NBC isn't interested in producing dramas or comedies for showing in the 8 p.m. hour any more.

So, I guess we will be in for a raft of game shows and reality shows until someone new takes over and realizes how nutty that idea is.

FJL · « **Reply #169 on:** October 19, 2006, 08:41:20 PM »

Never Mehta Deepa I didn't like, so the saying goes.

I watched more OFFICE episodes from the DVD set tonight plus the cut footage which once again proved just as funny as what made it to air. The two episodes I watched involved "The Client," a school district representative taken out to dinner by Michael and Jan while trying to persuade him to buy paper from their company.

The other involved performance reviews of the various staff.

All very funny outings for the show.

I was surprised to read that. I knew NBC has been in troble for years. Take a look at their daytime line up and that has been messed up for years. Days was once well written but it has been destroyed at the hands of James E. Reilly. His show Passions is an abomination.

TIIC is a MESS!!

I have heard Megan Mullally's show is not doing well either.

UGLY BETTY tonight featured Betty's adorable nephew who fit RIGHT IN at Mod Magazine. DElightful episode. I really am enjoying this series about as much as any new show this season.

Matt, have you ever seen the British version of "THe Office"?

Matt H. · « **Reply #177 on:** October 19, 2006, 08:48:00 PM »

GREY'S ANATOMY had wonderful stories involving the regulars and the toxic fallout from the death of Denny Duquette. And I was delighted with Izzy's decision about work though the check business was a nutty decision. That kind of money could be drawing KILLER interest that she could have fun with without touching the principal. Get that woman a financial adviser stat!

I will have to watch that when I get home. I have been enjoying the clips of that show also. Very smartly written show.

Oh, sure. I have the DVDs for both "seasons" or series as they call it. Hilarious but much darker and more unforgiving than the Americanized version.
