Edi-LOL. Is that your dog?

That's Shelby, who belongs to a songwriter friend visiting from Nashville. Shelby is a certified therapy dog! (But he still wasn't allowed in the house with the kitties...)

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!

I'm up, I'm up!

So... Who wants to see a movie today?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #93 on:** February 25, 2007, 10:00:41 AM »

I'm a bit "confused"... I thought the pet name and street name combo was your Drag Name? -Although, I guess they could be one in the same if you are so inclined. In any case...

Princess Kennedy

Brother Steve was Mooresvillian of the Year in 2005.

This is an honor I am NOT expecting in my lifetime.

As for unusual names... There's a character actor who went to my alma mater, Virginia Commonwealth University, and the first time I met him, I almost thought his name was a joke. Well, that he was joking with me. But he wasn't.

Raynor Scheine

Great pics, DR Cillaliz!

That link reminded me of something very near my home....when Dr Linke was living we used to visit him regularly and listen to him talk about astronomy and look through that telescope. Fascinating.

As for the Oscar Pool over at oscars.com...

The system does seem to be a bit slow right now. I guess it's everyone signing up for the pool.

Also, if you have ever signed for anything ABC-web-related (ABC, Disney, etc.), then you can use that log-in. And if you did participate in the pool last year, you nickname should be retained too.

Oooh... I guess I better get my Oscar picks in too.

Opening night of Tannhauser at the LA Opera last night was... ummmm, interesting. James Conlon - old school chum of mine from Juilliard - led the band... the horns played a few opening bars of that spectacular overture, and suddenly, there were naked people writhing under RED lights onstage... kinda distracted me from the superb orchestra playing sublime music... huh? Oh, well - at least an old school chum from Ye Olde Daze noticed I had come, to show support for a magnificent effort... how was I not invisible, among more than 3000 people?

Speaking of which... two hour round trip to attend your very fun and beautifully planned and catered Brain CD release partay? You're welcome. Anything I can do to help? You're welcome.

Done.

Even though I had actually seen a bunch of the nominated films this year for a change, I was sort of amazed at how many of the categories seemed like toss-ups to me. We shall see.

Cillaliz is there any way you can leave a day early, ahead of the storm?

I’m sure we had other pets but the first one I remember a name for is Pepe. That would make me Pepe (pepee) Crest.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #105 on:** February 25, 2007, 10:15:47 AM »

And if any DRs still want to join in the pool over at Oscars.com, you have until 1:00pm PST to do so. So...

Group is "HainesHisWay"

And the password is (whispered) "benjamin"

Shelby looks like a stuffed dog. Does he keep chasing the cats? Even though we don’t currently have a cat we have exposed Sherlock to them. If they stay still he just noses them, if they move he wants to play.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #107 on:** February 25, 2007, 10:18:23 AM »

Naked people in Tannhauser. Good thing they had those red lights!

DR PENNYO - my guess is that you would stand out in a crowd of ANY size....in a good way, of course.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #108 on:** February 25, 2007, 10:18:23 AM »

DR PennyO - That sounds very interesting indeed. Now, were they really naked? Or were they just in body suits? And if they were naked - or even if they were in body suits - were they nice to look at? -even if they were distracting.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #109 on:** February 25, 2007, 10:18:59 AM »

Shelby - so cute - is his last name Singleton?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #110 on:** February 25, 2007, 10:21:28 AM »

And I have to say, after finally seeing "Babel" yesterday, I wouldn't be that surprised if Rinko Kikuchi ends up winning Best Supporting Actress.

DR JEANNE - favorite friends' names include:

Randy Davenport

Ping and Ong Leftwich

Roger Saucerman

My DH contributes people he knows from high school:

Roger Jolley

Juan Person (When the P.A. would announce "would Juan Person come to the office", everyone rasied their hands.)

Horace Arnold (sounded like "Horizontal" over the P.A. system.)

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #112 on:** February 25, 2007, 10:22:16 AM »

DR FJL - How are Skip's computer woes? -I guess he bought a new tower? And, thus, the sound card fit issue.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #113 on:** February 25, 2007, 10:22:43 AM »

People I knew:

Fate Weed

Dick Hunter (used to be our mayor!)

Hobart Bodkin

...And I'm also guessing with that "Find the 79s" contest, that a lot of Tivo's and DVRs will be getting quite the workout tonight.

Jose - He hasn't even started setting up the new system yet. The big box (which arrived Friday) sits unopened at this point, while we wait for a "board" of some sort to arrive tomorrow.

Gotcha.

Just remember, some of those "snaps" are supposed to be loud.

Alas, I believe DR elmore may end up watching "Find the ...." tonight.

-Well, you get the point.
