Methinks Mr BK is like a dog with a bone.

My 89-year-old mother needs my attention today. She needs me to:

1) Set up a Yahoo! email account for her

and

2) Take her shopping so she can buy Scotch

I hope when I'm that age those are the kind of needs I have.

Me too!!

I do hope that DR ELMORE'S bedbug-begone crisis has a silver lining and he finds that many of the changes he felt forced to make do indeed serve him well.

Very much looking forward to hearing DRs FJL and JoseSPiano's reactions to the new production of Sunday...

Well this morning I got up and went grocery shopping. I the cashier was a lovely middleaged lady who placed the cans on the conveyor belt so I could bag them and gently placed my apples and grapes and bread in their own bag (in that order) so nothing was squashed or bruised.

Then I cooked breakfast for poor sickly Vixdad (eggs, toast, sausages and baked beans, served with HP sauce and a large mug of hot tea) and then the Vixter and I headed off to church.

Her hair was a big hit...it is actually very subtle, There are 6 long purple hair extensions each maybe a 1/4 inch thick just around her left ear, but they are placed under the top layer of hair, so you just get flashes of purple here and there as she turns her head

Today was the annual church meeting where we vote on the budget etc but I am starting to get sore throat and headache and so I voted to miss it this year.

How unfortunate to read that Christian Brando has died. What a sad pathetic family they became, inspite of the genius of the father.

Well, I am hoping that I can hold off until tomorrow to see my doctor. I really can't afford to go to the Emergency Room today. Thursday when I got home from work, when I was changing into my play clothes, I noticed that I had what is probably a spider bite on the upper inside of my arm. if would be just below my bicep (If you could find my bicep). It was red and a little puffy, and about the size of a dime.

I have been watching it carefully, because about ten years ago I was bitten by a spider that turned out to have been a brown recluse (similar to elmore). By day three, my arm looked like Popeye's arm. I originally ask my doctor if it was possible to find another brown recluse to bite the other arm, because I really liked the effect. Fortunaely, or unfortunately, sanity prevailed and he lanced the bite and gave me some heavy-duty antibiotecs.

Well, although this bite is not quite so dramatic, it is now about the size of a quarter, very red, and hot to the touch. I was hoping that the five weeks of antibiotecs that I had ingested since the start of December would have cut the poison, but apparently not.

(((((TCB)))))))

SEE! I told you I can't like those sipers!!

I hope this is not the same arm with the poorly shoulder

I know just whom I would like to see cast in the leading role

DR Matt H. - I don't say it often enough, but thank you for the timely television scheduling reminders! I do want to see both the programs you mentioned that are airing tonight.

Very sweet of you to say, DR Singdaw. I appreciate it, and I enjoy doing it.

And if you forget about the SAG Awards at 8, TNT is rerunning the show almost immediately following the original broadcast. (I think there's a CLOSER episode in between.) They have done this for several years now. (They may even rerun it again at some point on Monday, too. I've forgotten now.)

Matt H. · « **Reply #135 on:** January 27, 2008, 01:07:43 PM »

DR Elmore. It's been anightmare of epic proportions, and I couldn't be more sorry for this succession of bad luck and bad news. I am keeping good thoughts that things will turn around for you instantly.

Matt H. · « **Reply #136 on:** January 27, 2008, 01:08:32 PM »

I watched another NCIS episode while I cooked and ate lunch. This was the episode where the real estate agent found a dead body of a sailor in the living room of the house she was showing. Good mystery.

Matt H. · « **Reply #137 on:** January 27, 2008, 01:09:38 PM »

Next, I finished the remaining bonus features on THE JEWISH AMERICANS. They didn't amount to more than about 5 minutes of material between the two features. Looks like they were actually outtakes from the show since they're attached to parts of the show that were broadcast.

Matt H. · « **Reply #138 on:** January 27, 2008, 01:12:32 PM »

I debated with myself and finally decided I would take the day for myself and watch SHREK THE THIRD next.

Not as good as the original or the second film. The story was poor and besides all the references to modern things and fairy tales, there wasn't really much new material on display. I did like Merlin that Eric Idle voiced, and I thought much more could have been done with him. The whole baby thing was predictable as a capper.

Even though the movie made a ton of money, I think it should be the last one unless they can get really inspired with a new direction for these characters. This was sort of feeble actually.

Matt H. · « **Reply #139 on:** January 27, 2008, 01:14:23 PM »

I did watch one bonus feature on the disc - the "Meet the Cast" featurette. I couldn't place Arthur's voice during the movie (saw it was Justin Timberlake in the credits), so I was curious about his being asked to do the film. They didn't really go into why he was cast as opposed to someone like Neil Patrick Harris who I think might have made a more interesting character.

Matt H. · « **Reply #140 on:** January 27, 2008, 01:15:34 PM »

I have a 90 minute made-for-BET movie called BLACKOUT to watch and review, but I didn't have 90 minutes left in the afternoon, so I pulled out WORDS AND MUSIC BY JERRY HERMAN and started watching it. Enjoyed it all over again. I got up to LA CAGE before stopping it.

Dr Elmore: I hope your digs get into better shape soon......Why is that picture of me with a pickaxe popping up everywhere?(If Only...)....Yesterday tod, song artist desert island combo is Julie Andrews' singing Mercer ManciniWhistling Away the Dark......Just got back from THERE WILL BE BLOOD. To borrrow a line from scripture, the stumbling block for me was D. Day's channelling of John Huston's voice.Just whenI'd forget about it, it would reappear..The last 20 mins gave me the giggles...A very crowded theater fo 1130 on a Sun AM, with no walkouts, but I still prefer HOT FUZZ.

I just caught up on last week's posts. (Am I the only DR who tries to read them all?) Thanks to all of you who sent me vibes for last Thursday's doctor's appointment. It was routine and went just fine.

I now have even more flicks to add to my queue. As MBARNUM so aptly put it once, I'll have to add several years to my life to view them all. But that's a good thing!

Good Afternoon!

Well, I didn't make it to the matinee performance of Sunday in the Park with George, but I did manage to snag a pretty decent orchestra seat for tonight - ten rows back, two seats off the aisle. And I was able to use one of the discount vouchers too! HOO and RAY!

Alas, I also tried to get a ticket for Richard Goode's sold out recital this afternoon at Lincoln Center, but they had the cancellation set up, and it did not look like anyone was cancelling. Ah, well.. I get to see Sunday, and I'm very excited to see it. It truly is my favorite show, and I also happen to have a few friends in this cast too.

...But it nice coming home for a bit and relaxing.

After I left DR elmore's office, and hugged DR edisaurus and Greg, I headed back uptown to meet my friend, Paul. We walked here, we walked there. We went to Virgin - where they added a few more two-disc sets to their $10 Sale. So, I picked up "Casablanca" and "Doctor Zhivago".

Then we headed over to The Little Pie Shop for some pie and hot cocoa and conversation and gossip. All in all, a wonderful day so far.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #148 on:** January 27, 2008, 02:03:48 PM »

Oh! Word of "warning" - at least for the male members of HHW:

Paul is staying at The Paramount Hotel. The bathrooms in the hotel lobby have mirrored walls. On all four sides of the room. With low-placed urinals, and no "modesty" dividers. Alas, the homeless man who unfortunately came in there with me this afternoon, proceeded to admire himself and "himself" from all angles. And I think he was trying admire me too.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #149 on:** January 27, 2008, 02:07:16 PM »

OH! And it seems like almost all the cookware I placed on craigslist yesterday will be bought and picked up by tomorrow night! In fact, there are two people heading up now to buy a couple of things.

I hope the DVDs I put up for sale start attracting some offers.
