I had "blackened" scallops for lunch today.

It was interesting.

Now...I cannot decide whether I'm going to eat dinner or not.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #151 on:** December 07, 2006, 04:05:04 PM »

Oh, I forgot to state why -- it's because the scallops seem to still be sitting there...like so much fish...in my stomach.

I wish Merrill hadn't said anything about cheeseburgers.

I could EAT a cheeseburger.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #154 on:** December 07, 2006, 04:09:12 PM »

I'd kill for some McDonald's fries from the time before they changed the oil they use!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #155 on:** December 07, 2006, 04:09:33 PM »

And I wouldn't mind some Burger King onion rings.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #156 on:** December 07, 2006, 04:10:07 PM »

But what I'd truly do almost anything for is a bag of White Castle hamburgers with their fries, their onion chips and one of their large chocolate milk shakes.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #157 on:** December 07, 2006, 04:10:45 PM »

Hey, JRand56!

Is there still a White Castle along Pendleton Pike in Indianapolis (near Lawrence)?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #158 on:** December 07, 2006, 04:12:14 PM »

I talk a good game of junk food, but the truth is I couldn't eat a bite.

In fact...those scallops seem to be moving just a tad(pole?).

I see names....and they're probably wading through my scribblings.

DR Jane,

Happy birthday wishes coming to you from The Hollywood Orchid Hotel!!

MBarnum · « **Reply #164 on:** December 07, 2006, 04:24:50 PM »

Whew, am I beat...got into LAX at 11:30 am...got to my rental car place just fine, but the drive up La Brea to Hollywood took forever! But I did a lot of nice sightseeing during the drive...got mildly lost trying to find the part of Franklin Blvd I needed to be on and took short cut up Whiltley Dr, over to Whitley Terrace (where Ms. Peggy Webber happens to reside...wished I could have remembered her street number), turned my car around in an old folks home just in time to see a very elderly man trip over something on the sidewalk and bash his nose in. He was cut and bleeding and I jumped out of my car and assisted as best I could. Finally some people from the home came out and took care of him and I drove on finally finding my hotel and checking in.

I just returned from walking over to Hamburger Hamlet where I had a not so great meatloaf sandwich...but the service was very good and I was eated by the window and could watch all of the bizarness that is Hollywood Blvd....you know some of those people who dress like various cartoon characters and hang around the front of the Grauman's Chinese don't smell so good after being dressed up in those costumes all day.

I shall now go and get showered and shaved and ready to head over to The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to see a screening of SANTA (1932), Mexico's first sound film. It's star Lupita Tovar (now age 96) will be there for a question and answer session. Wil her daughter Susan Kohner be there as well? I shall report my findings.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #167 on:** December 07, 2006, 04:31:06 PM »

Thanks for the update, Mike. Good luck on Kohner being there.

Tomorrow I will head over to Studio City to have lunch with Mr. Rock Stevens...

MBarnum · « **Reply #170 on:** December 07, 2006, 04:34:27 PM »

......Also known as Peter Lupus (Willy on MISSION IMPOSSIBLE)

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #171 on:** December 07, 2006, 04:36:21 PM »

Is Rock Stevens his "real" name?

MBarnum · « **Reply #172 on:** December 07, 2006, 04:36:43 PM »

And of course will be at opening night of THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X escorted by two of the loveliest ladies in Hollywood!

By the way, my hotel room here is as big, or bigger, then my own house!

I have a kitchen and dining room and you have to go down a hallway to ge to the bathroom! Wow!

I must get to a Ralph's Supermarket tomorrow and stock my fridge!

For anyone over 50: When you are out in public, for whatever reason, always, always, ALWAYS return things (keys, credit cards, wallets, whatever) to wherever you normally keep them when walking around or shopping.

Especially at this time of year when places are crowded and clerks are rushed...it's easy to get a bit flustered and when you do, you are apt to put something down that you OUGHT TO HAVE put in your wallet, or put something in a pocket that you NEVER USE for anything.

Of course, what I'm getting at is that later on panic will ensue when you can't find your debit card or your key or whatever.

Sigh.

I learned long before I even turned 40 that I needed to do this!!

I am here -- just nothing of interest to say today, unless you want the local news.

Last night's "Medium":

SPOILER

I really, really, really enjoyed last night's episode.

I thought the use of the camera as a conduit between Allison and the actions of a previous owner was terrific!

As usual, the family dynamic was sensational, IMO. Maria Lark, as Bridget, continues to amuse and amaze me for her natural and winning ways. She's a cute chubbette! Interesting to see they're now getting the third daughter into the group as an entity unto herself.

The hour this show airs just whizzes by for me. I like it.

I really like it.

More spoilers...

I liked last night's episode too. And Bridget was at her cutest with the spoon dancing. I LOVED the flashbacks of Alison's childhood in the beginning of the episode. I've been waiting to see if there was going to be more of that.
