According to my Futurama calendar, it's National Pie Day! Celebrate and have a pie...or at least a piece!

Believe me, George, I would like to get a piece.

I'll go to a friend's to view tomorrow morning - shouldn't take more than three hours, then I can try to start coming up with a rough script.

Great news....do you shelve by author, by subject, or by size and color?

I always shelve by size.

And not a good day! It is expected to once again be about 105 degrees F and there are bushfires already! There will not be much to celebrate.
Rain (sans lightning) vibes would be appreciated.

Another five degrees and we may have a musical.

Good Evening!

Back from dinner - TGI Friday's. Pretty good food. I went ahead and "splurged" on their $12.99, 3-course special. I figured they were offering downsized portions of the items on the list - appetizer, entree, dessert - but they weren't. Thankfully, Andy was there to help me out. However, I will admit that I had a very hearty meal.

Then we went ahead and caught a movie, "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe". A wonderful movie, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The opening moments brought back many fond memories of when I first read the book back in grade school. I could even picture those line drawings from the books in my head as the story progressed. And I was amazed at just how much of the book and the details I remembered - and how faithful the movie was to the book. I really do hope they continue the series. -In the meantime, I think I'm going to try to read the whole series.

And all the CGI didn't bother me in the least. Very well done. And the voice talent was fun too.

*Andy had never read the books, and wasn't familiar with the story at all... He had a couple of good scares.

BK - Have you tried unplugging and plugging your VCR? There have been a few times when I've had a similar problem after not using my VCR after a long period of time, and that usually seems to reset things.

I actually really liked COURTING ALEX (the new CBS show). I originally thought it was an hour drama (when i decided to watch it). It is really cute. And I like Jenna Elfman, her dad, and her love interest (formerly from ED). She plays an over-worked lawyer. But it's very funny.

Good evening, fellow Dear Readers. I have been gone a few days. It will take a while to catch up on notes and posts.

MEDIUM is driving me crazy! I missed the opening credits, and I think the father of the boy is played by my old friend Taylor Nichols. It's the moustache that's throwing me off.

Back to the story . . .

I have liked Ben Affleck in some roles (the title role in DAREDEVIL, for instance), but I have loathed him in some others (Jack Ryan in THE SUM OF ALL FEARS, a perfect example of miscasting).

Matt Damon I've tended to like in most everything I've seen him do, but perhaps for my generation, Butch and Sundance belong to Newman and Redford and no other actors could possibly compete.

Or maybe it's just me. I simply think it's a lousy, dreadful idea. Like the PSYCHO remake, I'll have zero interest in seeing a new version.

Exactly. I remember how angry I was when I heard that some broad was foolish enough to try and remake Janet Gaynor's STAR IS BORN. Sacrilege!

DR Jane - No ice packs... And, thankfully, I don't think I'll need them. My back is feeling much better today. Almost back to normal. I'm still being cautious, however. -And I'm gonna cut back on my yoga stretches for now too.

And thanks for the San Fran info.

I believe I had dinner at the Stinking Rose in LA. Isn't there a Stinking Rose in LA?

BK have you also tried using a cleaning tape. Whenever my VCR has acted up, I've always done this, and it usually helps.

I think you would like the HELLO DOLLY pit, DRJOSE. The music can be glorious.....and MAME can, too.

How have you avoided these two warhorses?

Just the luck of the draw, I guess.

And, actually, I've never seen a Jerry Herman musical on stage either.

I guess I am a "Sondheim Queen" after all.

*But I do LOVE the OCR of Mack & Mabel, and keep hoping that someone will finally mount a first-rate, full-blown production, warts and all.

and that's not enough for a DVD collection I reckon so they'll be lost in the mists of time!

That might not be true, Vixmom. I was looking at some of the televsion DVDs today that I can't afford to buy, and I saw that there was some flop series (from last season, I believe) that had been released on DVD with a total of six epsiodes. So, anything is possible.

DRs Ron Pulliam and Matthew - Thanks for the info. I just started looking up schedules and stuff. Looks like it will be very easy to get around while I'm there.

-And, of course, now that I'm checking things out, I REALLY wish I was there for more than just a couple of hours.

Be careful out there, Jose, there are a lot of homosexuals in San Francisco (or so I heard).

elmore3003 · « **Reply #259 on:** January 23, 2006, 08:00:29 PM »

Well, I think it was Taylor. We were rather good friends in the mid-1980s before he landed METROPOLITAN and relocated to Los Angeles. But he looks older now.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #260 on:** January 23, 2006, 08:04:36 PM »

Definitely was Taylor Nichols.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #261 on:** January 23, 2006, 08:09:06 PM »

DR elmore - Did you catch HBO's "The Mind of the Married Man"? Taylor Nichols starred in that series. -And I believe it's two seasons are available on DVD now.

Sorry, but I always have to point out when someone writes or says "revert back" because it was pounded into my brain that it is not correct English.

Jose, I'll give that a try if I can figure out which plug it is. Thankfully, it's a lot easier getting behind my current setup than it was with my old one.

I think the overture to MAME is one of the all-time greats. I will never forget how excited I was sitting in the audience at the Winter Garden and feeling the electricity sizzle through the crowd as that overture was played. One of my great theater memories (and it was interrupted by applause a couple of times).
