HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAY!

To new DR Bevan--

Who the hell are you, stranger? Where did you come from?

Glad to have you aboard, lovey!

I'm going to see "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" later! WHEEEE! (sorry, I'm a little hyper right now)

BK -- Don't talk to me about problems with AOL. My AOL - DSL service, for which I pay almost $50.00 a month would not work at all last night, so, as a result, I could not get online. I tried from 4:00 p.m. until after 10:00 with no results. I refused to call AOL Help line because I didn't want to spend two hours being walked through all the steps that I had already tried. If it is still out this weekend, I guess I will have to break down and call them.

I was sure it would come down to Troy and Amy, but after the dressdown Troy received last week, I'm not so sure. As for Amy, someon mentioned to me that she currently has a website where she is fishing for acting offers, which seems kind of odd. I'll try to find the site address and post it later.

Yes, I would be interested to see it. I don't know her last name. But it was funny to hear her introduce herself as Amelia on last night's show.

The winner will be determined live. So nobody knows who it is.

I have a hard time seeing Nick or Troy win. They have lost so many times. And they have done some dumb things.

Amy has won EVERY SINGLE OF THE TEN TIMES. She has come up with some great ideas (including last week's adversiting on the buggy one). Every time one of the teams has had to choose a replacement, they have chosen AMY.

I'm sorry, but unless she does some really stupid things in the next few weeks, she is golden.

Plus don't all the others get on your nerves? Every single one of the others seems incompetent to me

Welcome to DR Bevan, and Happy Birthday to DR Jay!!!!!!

Well, I'm back! The acts are finished, turned in, paid for and the singer and MD are on a plane to the Mediterranean! I was averaging 3-5 hours sleep a night from Sunday to last night, when I estimated I'd finish around 3:00 am and hand them the charts before their car picked them up at 4 am. I finished at 12:30, dropped off the band parts, went to the bank and deposited the check, came home and fell over. I got up around 2:30 pm, I've got laundry in the dryer and I'm finally catching up on the past two days' worth of reading here.

So, Cabbages and Kings, a Walrus & Carpenter reference from one of my favorite books, which seems to be a Lewis Carroll parody of Coronets and Kings, one of my favorite films, as well as a song in Brendan Behan's "The Hostage." And that's enough thinking for one day!

Who was looking for a psycho song? All I can think of is Cole Porter's "Make A Date With A Great Psychoanalyst (And Lie Down)."

I can't get behind the movement for a theatrical release for Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, but I wish you well with it.

Here's my problem: the original voices for the characters are all dead, and the new folks just don't sound quite right to me. I have the same trouble with the Loony Tunes characters. They just sound "off" enough for me not to like them so much. I guess that comes with having spent so much of my youth and adulthood listening to the originals.

Cool! Another Apprentice viewer! I am so hooked into this show (it's the only reality show I've stuck with since the first go-round of Survivor.)

Amen! I love The Apprentice! I have no idea who will win, but I thought Omarrosa (too many r's, too big an s) was a pretentious twit and fraud; one more self-promoting resume fraud you find in every occupation,

I currently can't hear out of my right ear, my nose is all stuffed up, and I have a bit of a fever. I do believe I've caught the bug that DR Ann had last weekend. Of course, that could be a bit difficult, as I haven't seen her in over a month, but I'm still gonna blame her.

Oh DR WFO: do let us know when Joe returns home!
(i hope it's already happened).

And DR DerBrucer: I agree with DR Emily, you could easily get along in Montreal with English only (especially downtown and on the West Island where I am). There are definitely some areas around Montreal that are much more french. But the downtown core is totally bilingual.

Well my experience is limited to trips in the late 50's early 60's. I found the wait staff in most downtown establishments insufferably smug, and turning a deaf ear to English. I was made to feel most unwelcome! I've never been to Toronto, but have been to Ottawa and had a blast.

Panni · « **Reply #146 on:** March 19, 2004, 04:16:05 PM »

WELCOME HOME, JOE!

Jed - Feel better! Health vibes are heading your way.

Larry - Nice to be loved! I still feel silly. I think it's because I hardly ever write "Dvorak" - make that NEVER write it. And my Hungarian brain just spells things phonetically by default. I did, however, spell Andreas Haefliger correctly. So all is not lost.
Amusing story: One of the members of the Takacs is the husband of a very close friend (she's also a musician). He insists on spelling his first name the Hungarian way - "Karoly"... The "LY" in Hungarian is pronounced as a soft "J" - as you know from "Kodaly."
Karoly has rather long hair, which he throws around with abandon during his passionate violin playing. He's the only one of the quartet who is not "hirsutely challenged" - so I think that makes him doubly proud of his locks.
They were playing a concert in Boston. At intermission a friend of mine who happened to be in the audience overheard an elderly lady, looking quite puzzled, saying to her companion, "That violinist, "Carollie"... Is she a woman?"

It is not too late to have Mickey, Donald and Goofy released to theatres if enough interest is shown. That is the purpose of writing to Mr. Cook who could change the distribution plan if he finds there is enough interest in it. This information was posted on a Disney fan site today. Apparently there has already been some interest shown in changing this to a theatrical release and Mr. Cook is concerned that they might be making a mistake. There have been trailers before on Disney DVDs and VHSs for films whose releases were postponed or that were shown in theatres first and then released to home video later than initially planned (PETER PAN 2 was one of them). That is why enough e-mails like I suggested could get this released first to theatres.

Well, I guess I'm the Grinch - I love Disney, but even if Three Musketeers was theatrically released, I would not go, but would wait and buy the DVD. The film doesn't seem to need the grand-cinema experience; home viewing would be just fine.

A DVD costs only a buck or two more than 2 theatre tickets, and you have the product for ever.
