Big Brother Live Feed Spoilers

Yes dustin was the replacement nominee when Evil took off Daniele.

I haven't read what has happened this afternoon. But before that things were getting interesting. I truly am not sure if dustin will go (or dick).

Dick has daniele's vote to stay. And dustin has amber and jameka's vote to stay.

Eric has no choice and will most likely have to evict dustin. Dick is the most popular houseguest. So i'm pretty sure eric will have to keep him.

Dick wants eric and jessica to vote with him and daniele.

Jen has said she would vote out dick.

Zach told jessica he would vote however she told him.

Now Evil and Daniele want zach to vote with them. But he does not want to betray jessica. He said that jessica would have to say it was okay.

The real thing is that zach and jen don't realize that the vote could be turned. They think dustin is safe (eric, jameka, amber and jessica).  If they knew the truth (that eric would have to flip) then dick might be able to convince them to vote with him.

I'll be very curious to see what CBS shows tonight. Apparently dick was very sweet at the POV meeting. But he was extremely awful on saturday i think. He was banging pots and pans and spewing hatred. He was really awful. He threatened rape on dustin.

I"m sure CBS will edit it to make him just seem like a loving father trying to help his daughter. Very awful.

Der B, thanks for the compliments which I forwarded to our TNT producers. I'm glad you like it so far...too bad more viewers aren't tuning in. The numbers are very disappointing!

Sorry & surprising.  So far we have only watched the first episode.
DerBrucer, interesting personal story to go along with the show, thank you.

THE CLOSER was great last night!

The ankle & mother-in-law vibes are working Jose, TCB, JRand, Singdaw & Ginny, thank you.  My mother-in-law returned home yesterday.  I could do a long rant on why they needlessly, or to run up her bill, kept her an extra day or two.  They shouldn’t even charge her for the second day since it was due to their error feeding her before the ultra-sound which required the test to wait a day.  At least she is feeling better & the cracked vertebrae is very slight & nothing to worry about.  

My ankle is much better so I might even go hiking tomorrow.  I know I shouldn’t but I miss my hiking friends & I want some exercise.

And the results are back from my biopsy, all is ok except the the polyp is the kind that could have turned into cancer.  Darn, now I have to repeat the test in 5 years instead of 10. :P

DR Jane ~ Glad to hear your mother-in-law is back home. You might mention the extra day to her doctor -- not that he can probably do anything about it -- but you never know, he may can talk to the powers that be.  Or write the administrator of the hospital -- cause I agree with you that was the hospital's fault and doesn't seem fair.

hello I could really use a nap right now, but alas I have things to do. I have to go over to Staples to make a copy of the most updated script for the Brain, and then transfer the blocking we are keeping into it. I am really getting excited about My trip. I have my flight booked and will be in NY from August 25th until September 2nd. I hope I get to meet some of the NY folks in that time :D

If the hospital sends her a bill, cuz they kept saying  to take the tests since she doesn't pay for them, they WILL hear about it.

Thanks to Miss Patti, I may finally have this wretched sublet thing worked out.  The only downside to it is that it requires a move on September 5th.  One place from August 22 to Sept 4th, and then another from the 5th to October 1st.  The good news is they are both nice studios with A/C and either wireless or highspeed, and they're within two blocks of each other and very close to our theater.  Still pricey, but better than anything else we've found.

Craig & Ioana left yesterday & was very excited to begin their road trip across the county & simply to be driving after not having a license for two years.  Not that he needed a license in Romania, driving there once was more than enough, way too frightening.  

Bryan & his sugar gliders are on the road back to Portland.  I wish he could have stayed an extra day but the gliders were very unhappy in the small traveling cage.   Normally he brings their large one, next time when he doesn’t have passengers with luggage.

Before leaving our GI doctor invited him, with the patient’s permission, to observe four colonoscopies this morning.  He found it very interesting.  It will also help, if he receives any, to mention it on his secondary applications for medical school.  

I’m missing my boys right now.

I went to the Edwards breakfast.  I forgot how small he is in person, and Elizabeth is even smaller. She looked pretty good though, her hair is pretty thin but otherwise she looked pretty good. She was sitting in a rocking chair. Total photo op. I took a couple and can post them later.   The Edwards kids were next door playing on a trampoline. They got so loud at one point, John asked Elizabeth to please quiet them down. The whole crowd started laughing.  

I had a nice chat with a reporter from the New York Times.  I kept thinking, "I know she won't quote me, she hasn't asked my name" Well, duh, it was right there on my name tag.   I still don't know if she will quote me, but we had a very nice discussion.  And I got my photo of John Edwards and I autographed to me.  

I liked him a lot better this time.  Much more than when he was promoting John Kerry.   Sheesh!  This is a tough decision this year


Did you tell him that he is wanted in Tacoma?

I really didn't have a chance. He was 45 minutes late and talked for about 30 minutes, making me late for an appointment with my banker.   He was in a rush and I got him to sign my photo then he turned and moved on.    Sorry   :-[

The only time that I've actually gotten sides was in my very first theatrical experience in college.  We did Brigadoon and were given the sides.  NOBODY liked them and everyone complained, so they caved in and copied the scripts.  For some reason, the director and staff either didn't want us to have the full scripts or they just didn't want to go through the hassle of copying all of them.  Either way, the sides were stupid...especially for a musical! :P


Or maybe it was because it was illegal.

Good Evening!

On my walk up to Columbus Circle, I decided to stop into Empanada Mama for dinner.  After a strangely long-ish wait for my food, I thoroughly enjoyed my arepa Cubano, and an order or tostones.  Consequently, I have a sense that I shall be exuding garlic for the next 24-36 hours.  ;)

Just take care that the "walking" doesn't get misconstrued as "working".....

As with any "activity", it's only illegal if you're caught.  And, besides, discretion is my middle name.  ;D

I'm tired.  Today was a really long day.  And there's just no way to "mark" playing that dance break.

That is all.  For this post at least.

The Acela ride to DC this morning took 2 hrs and 45 minutes, and it was quite pleasant.  I arrived at Union Station around 8:50 and took the Metro to the Library of Congress.  I had a good but more could have been accomplished if our computers at the office hadn't been stolen in July.  I could have called the office and ascertained which original orchestra parts from THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER were missing pages and recopied them today.  Still, I obtained more copyright info, photocopied some manuscripts and had a lovely lunceon of Mexican food and margaritas with two of my favorite librarians and Miles Kreuger's assistant Eric, who was researching Reginald de Koven.

I think I may be going back next week for two days: the 1902 WIZARD OF OZ materials are missing and most likely misplaced in the Tams-Witmark Collection.  I volunteered to help locate them because I need to look at the show for whatever I can glean about BABES IN TOYLAND from it and to obtain copies of the numbers that Montgomery & Stone performed.  So, I'll go out to their storage area with them and search the archives.  It's definitely cheaper than a flight and accommodation at the University of Wisconsin, which seems to be the only other source for the score.

I finished up at 2:45 and decided to try an earlier train back than the one at 5:00.  I ended up on the 4:05 train which hits every stop and landed in Manhattan around 7:25.

It looks like I will be assisting with the Jellicle Ball for a couple of days over the next two weeks.  -Calling DR Matthew!  -Of course, that will be in addition to my dealings with Jafar and the Genie, and those hoofers who keep hoping that they'll get it.
