Well, you've read the notes, the notes had balls, and now it is time for you to post until the crystal cows come home. They're currently gazing into their balls and frankly are fascinated by doing so.

I'm finding it more than a little nauseating that no one has been in the jernt for over two hours.

BK:

If you do not title your next novel "This Large Piece of Rancid Cheese," then you simply must call it, "Jack Soo Wandered In."

I watched last night's 2-hour episode of "America's Got Talent." It's always interesting that they show so many people/performers who really shouldn't be on the show. Some of the performers were very good, but not all. And the audience for a so-called "talent" show, is very much like a typical Jerry Springer audience (he is the host). I'm glad that I can record the show and fast-forward through all the crap that isn't a performance.

Good morning, all! Another day with the NYPL and Toyland. This afternoon I turn over the Daniel Rodriguez medley to the conductor, so I've got about 20 bars to finish scoring before then.

I'm not at all upset about the break-in at my dad's house. I wish the damned thieves had torched it when they left; then we could have collected the insurance on the place. The house has been sitting empty for 27 months, and everything remotely wanted was removed 27-12 months ago. Theproblem has been getting the remainder of thecrap in it taken away, and last year, when my dad's estate had the money to hire a crew to do it, the Macbeths refused to be helpful, and I couldn't dump everything on Randy. On my trips back last year, I couldn't get any support to handle a crew or the cleaning out of the house, so I stopped caring. In November, when I paid the estate taxes, I told my brothers that, so far as I was concerned, the property was now our concern and no longer the estate's.

The burglars were clearly scoping out the situation and aware that no one was regularly showing up at ther property. I'm only glad that Randy wasn't on the property when they were robbing the place.

Good morning!

Thanks to DR CP for sharing that lovely Cyd story.....she was still quite glamorous in her interviews and remembrances that show up on TCM from time to time, although she seemed to have a problem with one of her eyes.

I too am surprised to learn that she was only 5'6".

MR BK - were any of the SEE-lebrities or Executives involved with THE OSCAR in attendance at the premiere?

When I watched it this time, I noticed a man introducing himself at the party as "Pereira, I'm in art direction...." - must have been Hal from Paramount.

Last night was Canadian Idol's Toronto week. Where 200 went down to 22.

One interesting thing to note is that of the top 24 (they changed it last minute) we got to know everybody save one or maybe two people. And i'm hoping that when i see those people i will remember them from previous shows (they did not show them last night).

I feel bad cause the one girl i do not remember seeing is from montreal.

Another interesting point is that there are 14 guys and 10 girls. They always do it evenly (like AMERICAN IDOL). But the guys were so much more talented.

And they wanted to make it very emotional at the end. Because the last two people in the room were the guy and girl who were cut last before the show (last year).

They didn't really show them at all auditioning this season. Just reminded us of their stories from last year (i would have rather they showed us what they'd done this year).

But like other shows (i'm thinking so you think you can dance), when they bring back someone who just about made it, they don't bring them all the way to the end to reject them again.

It looks like it will be very interesting.

For the first time there are 2 brothers in the top 24. I knew these guys would make it from their auditions. One brother especially is amazing.

I liked a lot of "America's Got Talent" last night. However, the cut-aways to Jerry Springer during the opera singer's performance was completely inexplicable. Did we NEED Springer telling us the obvious...that the audience was standing? And a few moments later...that the judges were standing? I totally don't get the editing. It was as if he wished to rob all the emotional power out of that last auditioner.

We are having a cool morning, but the day is supposed to get toasty.

I slept very well until about 5 a.m. Shortly thereafter I was aware that my left arm and the left side of my face were throbbing. I was, apparently, the feast for some mosquito and I have about five bites, including one on the side of my left eye socket (giving the eye a swollen appearance).

It's hideous, I tell you...HIDEOUS!

I'm totally jazzed about a UPS delivery I am expecting today. In that delivery "should be" the Carmen Miranda box.
