I just spoke to DR Elmore on the telephone. He and DR Penny O are busy working on the Brain music.


Awww...you're missing Elmore's comments on your posts, aren't you?

François-It's nice to see you. :)  If the phone would stop ringing I could pack for my trip tomorrow. ;D

Yay! During my senior year in high school, I was the president of my 4-H chapter.  I led the crafts project, but I never raised animals because I didn't want to slaughter them.
Yeah, I raised Columbia sheep...a wool breed!

Did we nail down a time & place for breakfast? I seem to recall reading something about DuPar's. Which would be good. (But Farmers Market or Studio City?) And what time? I'm coming from Manhattan Beach, so I'll have to give myself time to get up in the morning & drive & mapquest it out.

I just loved Peter Lupus on MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, and I got the complete POLICE SQUAD series on DVD where he had a recurring role (taken in the movie versions by O.J. Simpson).

I adored POLICE SQUAD when it ran its six episodes, and I lolok forward to seeing Peter in them.

(I really hated the screen name "Rock Stevens." Sounded SO third rate, and he wasn't.)

I did manage to fit in two more BONES episodes before prime time TV began. The first one was a beautiful Christmas-themed episode as the entire staff was quarantined in the lab over CHristmas and how they managed to solve a crime and bond more tightly as a group during the time there.

The other BONES episode was one of the lesser ones where Booth and Temperance head to LA to investigate a skeleton whose skull was so riddled with plastic surgery changes even to the bone that identifying her was next to impossible.

And encounter between Temperance and Penny Marshall (whose going to produce and direct a movie version of her book) wasn't nearly as hilarious as it could have been.

SMALLVILLE had an interesting story tonight concerning an illegal alien trying to stay alive and be reunited with his mother. Clark, being an alien himself, naturally identifies with his dilemma.

Enjoyable but not as exciting as other episodes from earlier in the season.

CSI brought the "miniature murderer" storyline to a rather unsatisfying conclusion. I kind of felt like they didn't have a great wrap-up, and this one was sort of cobbled together to get them to its conclusion.






spoiler  








The other two cases they were investigating tonight once again (as is becoming a too-often practied motif) ended up being linked.

I finished the evening watching tonight's SUPERNATURAL at 10 off the DVR. A genuinely creepy episode with a couple of genuine shocks and a doozy of a cliffhanger.

n local news today:

One of the Serial Shooter suspects who tried to commit suicide said he ingested 260 pills. The Serial Shooter (actually two people) killed someone about 3/4 mile from my home.

The man being held in one of the Baseline Killer crimes today was charged with 71 crimes, including nine murders, five sexual assaults and 12 armed robberies. The Baseline Killer killed two women near one of my favorite birding places, as well as one 1/2 mile from where our church used to be located.

Folks have been out and about again for the last couple of months.

I think Peter Lupus has had way too much plastic surgery. He doesn't even look like Peter Lupus anymore!

Belated birthday wishes, DR Jane!

And a Happy Birthday to our own BK! I've been thinking about all of you while I'm here in Santa Fe. I've seen several very good films and the weather has been great. I did a lot of scouting and networking and it looks like we might be able to draw a pretty good crowd for the Friday and Saturday screenings. Sunday I fly back to Atlanta and will get to enjoy my clean house (for a few days....)

Broken leg vibes and travel vibes to all!
And credit card vibes to JRand56!

Back from our final dress/preview, which I'll talk about in Ye Olde Notes very soon.   Dear reader elmore simply disappeared after the show - have no idea how he got home since neither I nor the musical director took him.
