Well, you've read the notes, you've played your cross-hand piece, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently playing their cow-hand piece.

Yes, it's late and I am here briefly.  I've been up for almost 22 hours now, so I'm going to get some sleep before I comment on anything.....Night!

I've been perusing The Smoking Gun and just happened to come across an article in the archives about people who wrote to the Washington Department of Licensing (DOL) complaining about personal license plates that they've seen.  Click HERE for the specific article.  It's pretty darned funny!

And some of the explanations that people give to try and make their personalized plates seem legitimate are very inventive! ;D

And on that note (E-flat), I'm going to bed.  Good night, BK. :)

Megan was very pleased with her new chapeau.  It was made of cat leather, and it's design was highlighted by a lovely FROUNCE where there was ONCE FUR.  Megan couldn't understand why P.E.T.A. had her on their death list.

A FROUNCE, or French Ounce, is roughly 30 milliliters.  The French decided long ago not to use the English system of measurements because it is, after all, English and therefor something to sneer at.

As DRELMORE writes, it seems as if DRJOSE's show was a grand success.

How wonderful.  AND the cabaret series was soldout!  Hurray!  That means there will be another one next year.  AND DRCILLALIZ will be seeing the show tonight, so we can have another review of said entertainment and pictures of the meeting with MR BK.

Good luck with the project, DR DtM!

Well....the exterior used for THE DAY MARS INVADED THE EARTH, is of course the same estate used for exteriors in ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN.

Saturday morning greetings!  Today is a work day for me, information-waitressing all day.  I haven't done that for 2 whole weeks - hope I remember how!

Good morning, all!  I've off to the movies today with my college friend Matthew after seeing Mr Robert Kimball, a trip to Toyland, and several errands.

Dear Friend BK, I'm happy to hear the cabaret series is doing so well.  Perhaps next year the reclusive Guy Haines might be persuaded to present a couple of evenings.

DR Jose, I wish you all well for today's performance.  Tell Jenn I'm sorry I didn't get to spend more time with her.

DR Jane and Keith, a visit with DR MBarnum?  Did you lose a bet?  Is it true he isn't staying with you because you have no fire escape?

The only really flop musicals I love, off the bat, are MACK AND MABEL, DEAR WORLD, and ANYONE CAN WHISTLE,

Good morning!

I slept past 9 a.m. this morning (which happens less and less as I get older and older), and I was surprised when I went out to get the newspaper that it wasn't hot, stuffy, and unbearable. It may get that way in a little bit, but so far, it's a decent July morning.

We haven't gotten any rain though scattered thundershowers have been and continue to be in the forecast.

TOD:

I've never seen it on stage, but I adore MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG's score. From all reports, the physical production of the original show was horrendous. Knowing the story as well as I do now, I wonder if seeing it staged would pose any problems now. The London productions, the off-Broadway revival, and the production in Washington seem to have gotten mixed reviews still on the content even while the score is still praised.

I really enjoyed that revival of THE WOMEN in 1974 (with Dorothy Loudon and Alexis Smith among many other stars), but it definitely flopped and I'm thinking its reviews weren't very good either.

Can someone who has the DVD of VIVA LAS VEGAS confirm for me that it wasn't enhanced for widescreen TVs. I can burn my own DVD-R from the TCM broadcast if that's the case, but if the DVD is enhanced, it would probably look better than a self-produced DVD-R.

Thanks in advance.

INHD1 showed a high definition version of THE OMEN (the original) last night, and I recorded it and hope to watch it at some point today. I didn't spring for the most recent DVD release (have had the letterboxed laserdisc for many years), but I'll be anxious to see what an older film like this looks like upconverted to HD.

It has not come out yet, but it has been announced for sometime in 2007, I believe.

Good morning. I'm up and have walked the 2 mile route the hotel has on a little card in the room. It's quite humid but my foot held out quite well, so it looks like I can start exercising again.
