Haines His Way

Sort of like the Mississippi going from east to west in Davenport, IA

Continued apartment vibes for the Gilfreys!

RE: the first episode of SAVING GRACE.

Do you mean Earl the angel?
Laura San Giacomo, the medical examiner, is the only one I liked in the show.

I think we watched 2 ½ episodes & regret those.  Maybe if we had stuck with the show longer we would have enjoyed it more.  It sounds as if you like it better than we did.

Yeah i was talking about the angel. Sort of an odd premise.

I do like Laura San Giacomo. I couldn't remember how to spell her last name so i didn't try.

I'm not sure if i liked the show or not. I found it very odd.

It's not something i would normally watch or like.  But since it's summer and there is very little on i'll probably watch again next week.

re: amber's popularity on the cbs poll after her anti-jewish comments.

I didn't even know about her comments, but I didn't like her anyway

Yes, but i don't think her ratings would be at around 0.5%. That is extremely low. She might not be that great or bright. But that is basically the worst rating i've ever seen.

Someone like dick had like 30-45% popularity. So less than 1% is pretty darn horrible!

I'm surprised you didn't hear about her comments. It was on quite a few news sites, plus all over the feed reports.

I only look at the sites occasionally.  I don't follow it THAT closely

We watched last night and found it very intriguing.  Interesting was while I was completely convinced, at least regarding Vanzetti & partially regarding Sacco, they were innocent of the crime, there was the fact they were not completely innocent.  It is a reminder to be careful who you involve yourself with.  

Ioana works very hard volunteering for animal groups.  When she arrived from Romania I warned her to stay away from certain ones as there are segments of them I don’t trust to be non-violent or completely legal in their actions.  

I liked how it ended with art, music and then Arlo singing his father’s song.

Jane - It was the bone from a chicken wing.

DR Noel, when do rehearsals begin for Such Good Friends?

September 6.

Today was an amazing day.  First, we did an interview in which I had to sing three songs.  Why me, you wonder?  Why not someone...competent?  One of the reasons is that a certain union won't allow its membership to sing on certain kinds of interviews.  So helpful - huh?

Then, chez moi, my director and musical director and I started going over the score at 2.  We finished at 9:30 having never stopped for a break.  Seven and a half hours refining intros, accompaniment feels, scene change music, harmonies, extended endings, cues.  And, of course, we didn't finish.

To some, this process sounds like hell.  To me, it's a dream.  To examine, measure by measure, what I've composed and why I've written in that way, with an eye towards making it better: I can think of no better way to spend an uninterrupted seven-and-a-half hours.

That's like going south to Canada from the US, which is what you do to go from Detroit to Windsor.

Makes sense to me... the Red River of the North between Minnesota and ND flows north...

Closer question.  

What happened to the house Brenda signed the papers on, or am I remembering wrong & that to sell the current one?

The old woman who owned the house tore up the papers because she didn't want to sell in the first place. She just liked the company.

I began my evening by watching ASS THE WORLD TURNS. The gay storyline was not featured on today's show nor was it in the previews for tomorrow.

Did DR elmore send you some of his VCR tapes?

Closer question.  

What happened to the house Brenda signed the papers on, or am I remembering wrong & that to sell the current one?

She was going to buy the house from the elderly lady (the episode with French Stewart as Gary (doesn't lie) but at the end, realized that the lady didn't really want to sell it, so she backed out.

Brenda hasn't even put her house on the market yet and she doesn't know whether she will ever be able to afford anything else. This becomes an issue as part of a bigger conflict in the season finale. You may have seen a hint of that in last night's promos.

Also, although we don't say it, the next episode is sort of a cliffhanger that will then be resolved in the finale.

If you hadn't said anything I wouldn't have thought he was flirting.  

Well, I think it wasn't so much flirting as that you could see he was attracted to Gabriel, who seems a bit flustered by it.

Next up, I watched the Blu-ray disc of PREMONITION which I've been eager to see but had all those box TV sets to get through.

The premise is great, and I liked all the actors (nice to see Kate Nelligan in a nice role).

Somewhere about 2/3 of the way through, I was kind of shouting at the screen since I would have handled things SO differently if the phenomenon was happening to me.
