Welcome back, Edi

Thanks, FJL!

Boy, being a preditor seems to have taken over my life. Since i'm working with a network in LA, I'm working 10-7 to be more on their time zone. It's nice to be able to go in later, but somehow it always ends up being 9 or so before I leave because I have to talk to people after their done with their shoots, etc. Then my DH and I have dinner, and then it's after 11PM. This has been going on even on the weekends so that's why I've been E&T.

I'm working on the launch of several shows for TLC. One looks very interesting: The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom.

They take a woman who has given up her career to raise her family and ddrop her back into the working world at the point where she would have been had she not taken a break. They don't tell the family, though. They know mom is doing a reality tv thing but they think that she's off at a spa during the week, taking a break while a staff of people help take care of her household duties.

After a week of being in the workforce, (with a break every day to see highlights/lowlights of what happened with her family during the day on a video feed) she is then askes whether she might want to continue ot be a stay at home mom or go back to work.

I don't know how any of the episodes end, since they are still being edited, but I thought it was an interesting premise. I generally despise reality television but since it's paying the bills right now I'm starting to "appreciate" it more!

I'm also working on stuff for TRADING SPACES. The big news there is that Paige Davis is coming back as the host, and there will be more "stories" to the shows. One show features a divorced couple, another one, rival cheerleasders whose mothers are best friends, and there's also a mother and daughter who redo a room in each other's houses (spending limit is under 1,000.)

So now I'm going to take my day off and clean out my car while the weather is warm, and go to Scott's Antique Market to try and find a mirror for the dining room.

Good grief - I'm getting "Was Barak Obama a Muslim" EMails!

This campaign is really going to get sickening.

der Brucer

Their conclusion:

Quote

“All this matters, for if Obama once was a Muslim, he is now what Islamic law calls a murtadd (apostate), an ex-Muslim converted to another religion who must be executed. Were he elected president of the Untied States, this status, clearly, would have large potential implications for his relationship with the Muslim world.”

Singingnymph, I woke up this morning realizing I hadn’t comment on your post last night. I’m sorry you are so homesick. I expect being so sick is making it worse.

How are you feeling today?

Jane · « **Reply #78 on:** January 13, 2008, 09:00:51 AM »

Jose, next time in NY I would like to take a “bookworms holiday” I hope there is a next time in NY & I have time to do half the things I’ve put on my list.

Cilla, thanks for the movie report.

Well, I do expect it to be a non-event, but I'll be watching the Golden Globes press conference tonight (9 p.m.) because I am curious to see who was awarded the prizes.

THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES premieres tonight at 8, and I'll be sampling this first episode to see if it's a show I want to invest time in. (It's the first of a two parter that concludes tomorrow night.)

A new BROTHERS & SISTERS comes on tonight at 10 p.m.

So, my evening of TV viewing is now set from 8-10.

Since it is a "press conference" and thus a news event, I assume one of the other channels or networks will show the results at 6:00 p.m. on the Left Coast.

Jane · « **Reply #80 on:** January 13, 2008, 09:01:03 AM »

Edi, it’s nice to see you. Even though it has kept you away from us, I’m pleased you still have plenty of work with the strike going on.

Jane · « **Reply #81 on:** January 13, 2008, 09:02:38 AM »

I'm going to walk my road this morning. I really doubt I will see the cougar or coyotes. I might hear something, but it is very unlikely I'll see it. At least I know the bears are sleeping.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #82 on:** January 13, 2008, 09:22:25 AM »

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I've actually been up for a while already. I got up around 9:00, then since I was in the mood for a croissant, I hopped on the A Train - after dressing accordingly, of course - and headed on down to Columbus Circle. Then after a brief walk over to 7th Avenue, I stopped into Petrossian for a Croissant. And an Apricot-Pistachio Danish.

Then it was back over to the Time-Warner Center for a brief stop into Border's to pick up a couple of magazines, then downstairs to Whole Foods to pick up some muffins for the roomies. Then back on the A train back uptown...

It's been a good Sunday so far.

DR MBarnum - For your[/i] next trip to NYC...

A Passage To India

Quote

By MATTHEW FISHBANE
Published: January 13, 2008

STANDING at the beginning of the buffet line at Jackson Diner in Queens, Krishnendu Ray took a plate from the heated stack of dishes, plopped on spoonfuls of several offerings and headed to table No. 22. There, a waiter tucked the bill into a wire stand and set down a pink plastic jug of water.

As Indian pop music played in the background and images of an India-Pakistan cricket match flickered on a television screen, Mr. Ray dug in.

“Tandoori chicken always tends to be too dry,” he said, chewing a reddish strip of meat from a chicken leg. But the goat bones in the spicy stew known as makhani earned his approval. “Bones,” he declared, “give a completely different taste to the meat.”

Mr. Ray, who emigrated from the Bengal state of Orissa in 1989 and lives in Peter Cooper Village, is not a restaurant critic. He is a professor of food studies at New York University and the author of “The Migrant’s Table: Meals and Memories in Bengali-American Households,” and one of his professorial missions is to analyze the city’s Indian restaurants from a sociological perspective.

And speaking of "originals"...

With the upcoming Broadway mounting of the LuPone Gypsy, does this make Gypsy the most oft-revived Broadway show?

MBarnum · « **Reply #89 on:** January 13, 2008, 09:43:25 AM »

DR Jose, I believe The Jackson Diner is where Rodzinski and I ate lunch this last NYC visit. It was very, very good...and we had a fantastic waiter..well, it was buffet style, but he did attend to filling our water glasses very professionally. Som was his name.
