Hmm... David Burnham seems to be quite popular around these here parts lately.

Congrats, DR elmore.  *Oh, and Brad mentioned you at rehearsal today while he was showing the preliminary concert line-up for the upcoming symphony concert.   :)

It's nice to have work.

With no disrespect for the effect such pressures had upon you, I cannot help but think that too little is made of poor Ken's plight...

;)

ROTFLOL!  That poor Ken, I remember all the boys in class starving or throwing up their indulgences, just to look like Ken.

DR elmore - Isn't there a place just around the corner from you that does transfers from one media to another?  I swear I've walked by some almost-hole-in-the-wall shop in your 'hood.

Otherwise, a friend of mine just sent a bunch of his LPs and cassettes of some place that transfers them to CDs as well as converts into iPod-compatible files.  I'll try and get the name of the company for you.  -Although, I think he found it just by Googling.

It isn't for me; it's for David Burnham before he gets some live performances to me.  I want him to be able to give me a disc or an mp3 of something he has on cassette.

We have rain moving into our area today.  We had a nice drenching Monday night overnight into Tuesday.  And it should start up again tonight.

Temperature right now is F 65.3.

Next, I put in THE ADVENTURES OF ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE and watched "The Treasure of Monte Zoom." On this disc are three complete R&B stories without any of the other cartoons from the series. The one I watched was 8 episodes in length (about half an hour). When I go back down I'll watch "Wossamotta U."

Just what DVDs are you watching? We have R&B and Friends Seasons 1 and 2, and neither the tales you mentioned are included (nor, according to Amazon, are they in Season3). All of ours include the other cartoon extras like Fractured Fairy Tales and Dudley Do-right, etc.)

We had an interesting commute this morning.  At least, those who travel I-880 South (Oakland to San Jose) had an interesting commute.  The interstate was actually shut down right after dawn.

Police (or Highway Patrol) had been called pre-dawn about a dead animal being on the highway.  At dawn, someone made the horrifying discovery that the road kill was actually "part" of a human body.  This body, it seems, was rather dismembered and scattered around the highway (having been struck a number of times by vehicles).

Details have not been released yet other than it appears to have been a man who was about 50 years old.

The R&B history is a bit confused when it comes to the video sets.

I recently acquired "Rocky and Bullwinkle & Friends", Seasons 1, 2 and 3.  These are, supposedly the first three seasons ever aired of these characters.

But the show was first called "Rocky and His Friends" and then, it seems the show's name changed to "The Bullwinkle Show" or something elitist like that (remember "Laverne" and how that sank after they dropped "and Shirley"?)

Then, IIRC, the name changed to "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show" and stayed like that through the run of the series, however many seasons that was.

Well, Dear Readers, I am finding out that majoring in English Literature might not have been the best decision I've ever made. Turns out nobody wants to hire an essay-writing plate-eater who can't do anything remotely useful.

But I do have two interviews tomorrow, so any and all vibes you can scrape up would be most appreciated.

What I want to know -- vis a vis Jose's ROOMMATE PROBLEM -- is what, if anything the "other" roomies have to say about all this.

Were any of you consulted?   Was this ever something that had been discussed as a possibility for anyone wanting a live-in "friend"?

What, I wonder, would happen if the "other roomies" began walking around nude?  What would happen if the "other roomies" began developing slovenly habits in common spaces?

What would happen if the "other roomies" pulled the egregious roommate aside and threw a shitfit?

Well.... The "others" did discuss this the other night, and we're all sort of "confused" right now, for lack of a better word.  She has actually not been here all that much the past couple of weeks, so, some of the issues and problems haven't come up since she wasn't here to cause them.  However, she's spent every night here this week so far - and her boyfriend has been here all but one night this week, so some things were starting to rear their ugly little head again.  But then she's heading back out of town for a week or so next week, so...

Yes, we all admitted that we're being a bit childish, but at least we know we are.  -And, heck, it's been fun bonding over our bitching sessions.  *Thankfully, the big "noise" issue has died down quite a bit since the new subletter moved in a couple of weeks ago, so that's also contributed to the seeming lack of calm and civility.  The "rest of us" have also been quite busy the past couple of weeks so we were never really here for enough "waking hours" to get upset about anything.  In any case...

We did all agree that if one of us happens to get particularly irked, that we should just go ahead and confront her about it.  We've been too nice and quietly-non-understanding for too long.

*And the rest of us did agree that the wine fridge will stay in her room.

I saw this info on the news today and thought, what kind of screwed up family is that! The parents should be tried for the shootings.

Actually. this story is about the PA kid that was "planning", not the OH kid that actually did some shooting.

I think that allowing your teenager to have that weapons cache is "child endangerment".

Well.. I was actually thinking of heading to Carnegie Hall tonight to catch Dame Kiri Te Kanawa in recital, but since they only have "obstructed view" seating left... and with the continuing rain, I believe I'm just going to stay in tonight, and enjoy some network TV offerings.  -I also have an all-day audition session to play for as well as show tomorrow night, so it's probably best I stay in.  -Besides, I have some wine chilling upstairs.  ::)

You sure they weren't filming an episode of "BONES"?

Back from a busy little day - starting with a rehearsal with the delightfully delightful Emily Rozek.  Then it was over to LACC to return borrowed costumes and props (and I donated all the costumes created for NY), a meeting with the head of the department.  Then it was endless errands and now I am back in the home environment catching up with e-mails and telephonic calls.
