Yes, working better now - they obviously fixed the prob after getting my e-mail but, as always, with no acknowledgment whatsoever that there WAS a problem.

While this is not "dirty" or "sexual" in nature, this IS potentially d-i-s-g-u-s-t-i-n-g, so readers easily d-i-s-g-u-s-t-e-d should skip it:

PAY ATTENTION!

First-year students at Texas A&M's Vet School were receiving their
 first anatomy class, with a real dead cow. They all gathered around
 the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet.

 The professor started the class by telling them, "In veterinary
 medicine, it is necessary to have two important qualities as a doctor:

 The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the
 animal's body. As an example, the Professor pulled back the sheet,
 stuck a finger into the anus of the dead cow, withdrew it and stuck
 a finger in his mouth.


 "Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students. The students
 freaked out, hesitated for several minutes. But eventually took turns sticking a finger in the anal opening of the dead cow and then placing their fingers in their mouths.

 When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and told them,
 "The second most important quality is observation. I stuck my middle finger into the cow, but it was my index  finger I put in my mouth.  Now learn to pay attention!"

Cute shoes, TPunk! I, myself, have a pair covered with RED glitter - which I trot out for almost every revue I direct - usually as a prop or part of the set - but sometimes, I wear them, if even for a moment... they were featured in my show, too...

DVD - The Firm
Video - Broadcast News!!!

Today is cloudy, drizzly and cold - I think I'll head into Bellevue to look (again!) for a skirt to go with the blue velvet top I'm wearing to next week's wedding of Tami's son. Tired of shopping... I was born tired of shopping.

The little feral cat came by yesterday, when I whistled for the jays. Same cat, third year in a row!!! he looks plenty fat these days - and my house is mouse-free. I put out some cat food for him, but he just sniffed it and walked away - he likes fresh-killed meat so much better, I'm guessing, and probably had just feasted on hapless furry lunch...

Me, too, DR PennyO!  I constantly remind my DH how lucky he is that I hate to shop, especially when I have to find a particular thing by a certain time.  Now, when I'm on vacation and not looking for anything in particular - that's a different matter entirely.

Also, one of my signals that I'm too busy is when I don't even have time to shop online.

I don't know what the deal is, but it's taking a long time for this site to accept my posts.  Maybe I need to log off and come back later.

I was having the same problem earlier.

The May upfronts start next week. Each network anounces its fall schedule and that's when we'll know what is staying and what is going. NBC is up first on Monday, but I am not sure which of the networks come after them day by day (a GODSPELL reference).

Has anyone heard anything about "Surface" returning?

Great story, I shared it with a co-counselor on the hotline and she's going to use it in a class she teaches in observation.

I've been trying to combine just one childlike element with other more "mature" wardrobe items in the hopes that it allows me to get away with it.

I like to read the summaries in case i miss something.

In this article it says that the husband of the miracle girl (who drowned) was claire's psychic.  Does anyone remember this? I thought it was going to say it was rose's psychic.

Back from lunch -- shrimp rolls w/peanut dipping sauce, and a scrumptious clay pot of green beans, onions, broccoli, crab, shrimp and rice...all hot and bubbly and mixed together.

Thanks for the vibes Vixmom.  I have formulated a plan today. I'm not sure whether I can do it or not, but I will know if phase I is possible on Monday or Tuesday. I'll fill you all in then.


This is a link to a really funny short video - What Old People Do For Fun... it is rated G

There is a lot of excitement in the soundtrack community today.

One of the specialty labels -- Intrada, based right here in Oakland CA -- has announced the first of three 2-CD anthology albums of original TV scores to the series "Amazing Stories."

The series has a lot of fans, especially among film music fans, because the series used many high-profile, excellent film composers to score episodes -- John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Danny Elfman, Alan Silvestri, Thomas Newman, Bruce Broughton, Georges Delerue, James Horner, David Shire, Leonard Rosenman, Michael Kamen, etc. -- that remain memorable as much for the music as for the stars and stories...some even more so because of the music.

For YEARS, fans have begged the specialty labels to acquire this music, but it is only now that all the obstacles have been surmounted.  

At any rate, if anyone here has a love for the series and remembers the music with fondness, Volume 1 is available in a 3,000-edition pressing. Hurry.  Supplies may not last.  The prices is $29.99.  Music samples at the link above.

I'm excited because I got, via UPS today, the boxed DVD Tennessee Williams set, the Lucy-Desi set and the new "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

I'm also excited because I'm going to have to do some plumbing this weekend.

Oy!

Stuck at home?

Does this mean that today you won't be joining the laddies who lunch?

No, no lunch with the laddies today. In fact, I didn't get out of the house until almost 2 p.m. But package arrived, ATM visited, groceries shopped for, and now all is right with the world.
