Hmm... So, I'm thinking that since it's such a nice day, I may take the early (crew) train up to Westport this afternoon.  That would give me a good two hours to walk around Main Street.  

Walk it or work it?

And as for "The Not Just the Best of the Larry Sanders Show" boxed set... It's been interesting reading all the reasons and speculation concerning the release of a boxed set, and the re-release of season one.  Names have been named.

However, I do have think the music clearances are a major part of the hold up in getting the show onto DVD.  Lots of record labels to deal with.

...And I also didn't realize that the "Planet Earth" series was originally narrated by David Attenborough during it's BBC broadcast.  Not Sigourney Weaver as it is here stateside.

-It's also been fun reading those comments too.

-Although, I think it would be fun to have a second audio track so that you could compare both narrators side by side.  ;)

Well, if I want to get on that early train, I guess I should get myself ready to head on up...

Actually, if you're looking to "work it", Main Street in Westport, CT probably isn't a bad place to start...    ;)

Not to besmirch the good people of Westport...I just meant that there's bucks a plenty, ripe for spendin'.

Zach has an unexpected brother for the week.  My boss is traveling, and her dog sitting plans fell through, so we are hosting 7-mo old chocolate lab Cody.

A neighborhood child just informed me that there is [or was] a Nickelodeon children's program called "Zach & Cody."  I'm just so hip, I can't even stand it.    :-\

DR Laura, I saw the "Bodies" exhibit here in New York. It's been held over for a long, long time. I found it rather gruesome and unseemly. A friend was fascinated and loved it. It was also rather expensive (IMHO). Controversy surrounds it as well. All (and I mean every single physical specimen) of the bodies are Asian. There is some speculation as to how the bodies got to the people putting the exhibition together. There are many exclamations in the Comments Book along the line of "Stop stealing dead Asian bodies!

I haven't see the exhibit, Ben, but the pictures do look unseemly.

My favourite original cable show is probably the one you've been watching:  The Larry Sanders Show.  Everything you said about it is right on.  I also like Gary Shandling's first cable show as well, but Larry Sanders is almost brilliantly transcendant!

I love South Park.  Still the most incisive, sharp, outrageous satire on TV.  Favourite episode would probably have to be the Jennifer Lopez one where Cartman does a Senor Wences act with his hand as puppet Jennifer Lopez.  It terrifically, courageous absurdist...first, that Cartman, a fourth grader, is doing a Senor Wences bit and secondly that the creators are doing the bit to a general audience, who like Cartman, probably would have no idea who Senor Wences is.  Just wonderfully loopy.

I loved ROME.  

DEADWOOD started out well, but I thought last season was the longest shaggy dog story that went absolutely no where and ended disappointedly, not taking us where it felt like it was leading up to.

I'm going back to bed.

So there.

Which he did - without checking the voice mail (when we are on-line, the phone company routs all incoming calls to their VM system). When I roused at 10:30 there was a VM from a frantic Super-G person wanting cart-wrangling, please, pronto. (He was scheduled to go to work at 2PM). So I rousted him out, and he has been safely delivered to the workplace.

•   AP
•   April 16: Chinese performers rehearse for a ceremony to mark the completion of giant sculptures featuring mythical emperors Yan and Huang from around 26th BC in Zhenzhou, central China's Henan province. The 106-meter-high sculpture is among the world's largest, with a 3,000-square-meter exhibition hall in it.

Wonder which adventure movie will film the first statue climbing chase?

According to the Bodyworlds website, yes, it was featured in Casino Royale.

There is another one touring that is in Las Vegas now.

The one in Phoenix moves to Portland Jun7-Oct 7 2007
The one in Dallas moves to Charlotte June 13- Oct 28

Those of us in Delaware will just have to make so with graveyard scrounging.
