Well, you've read the notes, the notes had ado and adon't, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're having ado and won't be home for hours.

And the word of the day is: NUMMARY!

And I got home to find the new blurb for the new book, from author Dick Lochte (my good luck charm) - here it is:

Like all of Bruce Kimmel's novels, this one, a whodunit murder mystery, is
a love song to L.A., a celebration of even its noirish nooks and crannies.
His new sleuth-heroine, teenager Adriana Hofstetter, with her wardrobe from
decades past, her wry sense of humor and her odd favorite foods, is a bit
too unique for comparisons to Nancy Drew or Veronica Mars. But her shrewd
deductions and determination to see justice done, even at the expense of
smug policemen, could qualify her as a young Miss Marple, assuming that Miss
Marple were familiar with MySpace and enjoyed the occasional Strawnana Berry
Smoothie from Robeck's.

Dick Lochte, critic and author of "Croaked!"

Faxorite Kim Novak performance - MIRROR CRACKED (sp?), when she said to Liz Taylor: How wonderful to see that not only have you kept your lovely figure, you've added so much to it. (I'm paraphrasing.)

Kim Novak. One of my favourites on screen. I found her presence enchanting. (even if the performance was not good - the camera loved her and so did I),

Good morning North America.

I heard from my family last night and this morning. All is well with them in Minneapolis. The pictures of the bridge collapse are frightening. I've been on that bridge countless times.

Kellogg is calling me, and I don't mean cereal.

Flap Notes.....that's the name of my new novel.

Vibes for MR BK....and for friend of DR GEORGE...Margo....what a terrible thing. I hate it when they bring someone in and tell them they have to cut X amount of dollars from the dept. budget, and the only thing they can think to do is GET rid of someone...especially someone at the top of their pay scale.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 02, 2007, 05:32:37 AM »

THE FANTASTICKS rehearsal was not pretty last night. The show is so good, it just may survive our production, but it is NOT so hot.....it is worth about $9, though.

Happy to hear everyone buying tickets to the three HHW NYMF shows!!!

Taking a cue from DR JOSE....last night I put little 1.5 ounce packages of Animal Crackers on each of the musicians music stands....for them to find when they arrived.

I bought some different little....non messy treats for them as the days go by. I will check tonight....if anybody left their package unopened, they won't get anything tonight.....

TOD:

I think I've only seen a finger or two of Ms. Novak's films. But of those, I've certainly liked her performances in:

VERTIGO
BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE

I also recall her beeing a hoot during her FALCON CREST stint.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 02, 2007, 05:43:10 AM »

Bought the "Hairspray" soundtrack which was fun to listen to in the car.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 02, 2007, 05:45:12 AM »

TOD:

Thought she was not quite right for PICNIC or MOLL FLANDERS.

Perfectly cast in:

BELL BOOK AND CANDLE
STRANGERS WHEN WE MEET

As DR TOMovOZ said, the camera loved her. I usually enjoy her movies, she tries very hard....and is easy on the eyes....always.

Good morning, all! 10 hours! I slept 10 hours! And I feel rather good at the moment. I'm now waiting to hear from our office manager Matthew on when I can head down to the office to continue the unpacking. Our new super had told us at noon yesterday that he would install the new lock on our door yesterday and then never returned! As a result, Maztthew has the only key for the working lock to the door.

DR Matt H, great news on HOT FUZZ! Have you seen SHAUN OF THE DEAD? You might consider that for your other purchase. I can be such a pimp!

I haven't seen the news about the Minneapolis tragedy beyond the reports here, but what a horrible disaster. I'm sure I'll be reading all about it in today's news on the way downtown.

On a pleasanter note, the TOD:
Faves: Vertigo
Bell, Book and Candle
The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders (no DVD???)
Picnic

Not-so-faves: Pal Joey

Anyone have any recommendations on antivirus/firewall software for a PC? I've had pretty good success with Norton products over the years, but their new Norton 360 is for the birds. It screwed up my computer AND my Internet connections and has kept me on the phone to various customer service personnel for most of the past two evenings.

Good to hear, DR Ben, I was thinking about you as I watched coverage. I guess the New Guthrie is right by the bridge

DR SINGDAW....I use Grisoft/AVG....easy to install and it works for me!

Try one of the free downloads from here....or anywhere on the net.

Yes, the new complex is on the river. I just talked to my sister and phones are still wonky. The cell lines and even land lines were overwhelmed last night. Also, all television coverage is focused on the collapse. They are now also dealing with gawkers. Kids are out of school and have nothing better to do than head downtown to look at the mess. The cops are working to get bodies and cars out of the river and also trying to prevent other drownings by clueless folks who think they should be watching the rescue efforts.

David, I use

Spyware Terminator.

I gave up on Norton a couple of years ago. Why do they think I want all this extra crap! Norton used to be a top of the line program, now it's a bloated mess that does as much harm as good (IMHO).

I don't have any recommendations for firewalls. I use the Windows version (since we don't have high speed and an always on connection it's not quite so imperative to have a high security firewall) but I like Spyware Terminator. The title is misleading because it provides both spyware and virus protection. Depending on how you set up the program it will just guard against spyware if that's what you want but you can configure it for anti-virus work as well. Oh, yeah, it's free too like Grisoft/AVG.
