THE BEGINNING OF THE END

Well, you've read the notes, you've read them from top to bottom or bottom to top, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they'll be here either at the beginning or the end.

I'm now at the house being house-sat.  The cat is fine and fed.

BK, if you need a vacation: Kentucky awaits!

How much of a geezer am I?  I'm gazing at my internet news headlines on my Adelphia home page and see one that says DION RETURNS TO PERFORMING AFTER ILLNESS.  And I'm thinking: "How interesting, Dion Dimucci of Dion and the Belmonts.  Ruby, Baby; Runaround Sue; The Wanderer; Donna the PrimaDonna; The Majestic; Teenager In Love; Abraham, Martin, and John, old Bronx Doo-wopper Dion.  I go to the article...they're talking about Celine Dion.

I mean come on!  Who would you rather see perform?  No contest...The "why must I be a teenager in love?" guy!

TOTD:  I'm hoping for my copy of "The Passenger" to arrive next week. It was an Arthouse movie that I thought was wonderful at the time. Other favourites (mentioned here in other topics I think) were "David And Lisa" and "Allegro Non Troppo".

"Death In Venice" still tops my list.

I liked Cash Cab. It was fun. Emphasis on the past tense. We just downgraded our cable service and the change went through yesterday afternoon. We now get only broadcast channels (ABC, CBS, NBC and the locals plus the two PBS stations 13 and 21) and a few extras like the local New York all news channel, TBS, the Food Network and all three major shopping channels. No more Cash Cab. I just got tired of paying $58 a month for crap (pardon my French). This change pares my bill down by more than half (about $23 a month with the exorbitant fees and taxes). If we got good reception I must admit I would gleefully throw the cable box out the window and watch it smash into a million non-recyclable pieces on the street below. Only in my dreams though, since in reality I would have to return said box to the less than loved cable company.

I'm now listening to Mr. Robert Goulet in the OCR of Camelot. C'est Moi! Playing Mordred (in 1975, oh my) was so much fun.

Good morning, all!  Did I miss the TOD in today's notes?

I'm still pondering the Enron film, and it certainly colored my dreams last night:  paper shredders, suits with briefcases,  Or was that my last IRS audit?

I've got to hang around here today waiting for Rob Fisher to pick up this chart, packing, determining which books and what work to pack, perhaps some banking.  Tonight I'm seeing OH, LADY! LADY!, a 1917 Jerome Kern-PG Wodehouse-Guy Bolton Princess Theatre show which is quite funny, although  I'm not crazy about the group doing it.  Perhaps I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Anyone heard from DR Jose?

Anthony auditioned for Oh, Lady! But they didn't cast him. Oh, well. Their loss.

Mr. Simbulan should be back in New York since there are performances of Lestat (unless it was closed and they didn't tell anyone)

Speaking of Celine Dion, and DR Pogue was, I just this morning woke up and found in my email box "Happy Birthday from Celine" only with an accent over the e in Celine.  Thinking back, back when Celine Dion was the Vegas white-hot ticket, I joined Team Celine for a nominal amount to get access to better seats at decent prices, and they must have asked for my birth date, but either I entered the wrong date or they found out that I've extended my birthday celebration through Sunday.  Very nice of Celine to take the trouble to send a personal email  :)  with all that's going on in her life.

After I played that role in 1965 (Monterey, CA), I presumed the show was doomed for all time.

I played Mordred as well.....in 1991.  I liked everything except my wig.

And I loved being so mean in the GUINEVERE song....that was MY favorite part of the show!

One thing after another.....don't you hate when they get out of line and one thing gets in front of another?

I didn't watch LOST.....WOW moment explanation please.

I watched STARDUST which I enjoyed and learned a couple of things about Miss Bette Davis....or was reminded of a couple of things I had forgotten.

TAR.... MOJO just doesn't get it.  I don't have a favorite team of the other three right now.  IF I had to choose, I guess it would be BJ & Tyler..

It was an episode controlled by the accountants - in an assumed effort to control salary costs, the cast size was significantly reduced. (Of course Abrams in both "Lost" and "Alias" takes a page from Spelling's "Dynasty" - there is no such thing as "dead forever" 8)

Prediction - when "Lost" is over, there will be another top-selling snowball!

My favorite art-house movie is STREET OF SHAME.

I've been thinking about that.  I've been expecting to see Boone or Shannon rising from the grave this whole season.

Last night, DR George wrote:

" I quite clearly remember the son, Jesse, becoming a hybrid.  Does anyone else remember this plot point??  If I'm remembering it correctly, how come he doesn't know that he's one and why isn't the show treating his character as one?  OR am I totally remembering some other incident or something else incorrectly.  Help!"

I don't believe Jesse has ever been converted into a hybrid. The bearded guy fell in the water and the aliens began "to hook into him," but he was pulled from the water before they could transform him. And Jesse's stepsister went into the water deliberately to become a hybrid but because she wasn't a perfect physical speciman, she was rejected by them.

If I'm incorrect about this, I'm sure someone will give you more accurate information.

Thursday morning greetings!  My day started an hour earlier than usual with a meeting at the United Way and will end an hour earlier than usual  :D

Get-away travel vibes for DR Cillaliz!  I felt exactly the same way last week when I took off for my business/pleasure road trip and came back very refreshed.  Hope your trip does the same for you.
