STRAIGHTEN UP AND FLY RIGHT
« on: July 23, 2008, 11:53:49 PM »

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were straight and flew on schedule and on time, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're still trying to figure out where Long Beach is - there over at Short Beach right now.

Diet-friendly foodstuffs.  Is lean-ish beef diet-friendly, I wonder.

Good morning, all! The alarm went off at 5  am and woke me up from a dream in which Jason Graae had come to visit and was messing up my apartment and I was tagging after him puttinh things back in their proper places. At least it was better than the dream earlier around midnight in which my brother was dressed as Santa Claus and carrying an axe!

I'm all packed for DC, and I'm hoping the trains are truly back on schedule.

I've begun an interesting book called FORTISSIMO, by a New Yorker who spent a year observing the young artists of the Chicago Lyric Opera. I'm enjoying it.

I have little else to report except that I cannot wait to get on the train and nap.

I'm sorry to hear of your plsne complications, BK, I hope everything is clear sailing. Am I mixing metaphors?

Bruce, if you're not in NYC until 10pm you may miss most of the rain but you may also be delayed on your flight. It's raining right now and it's supposed to rain all day. It's not scheduled to be a pretty weekend.

I'm doing the laundry today after work since we're heading out to Long Island tomorrow for one last round of Getting Anthony Ready for Wisconsin. I just hope the clothes stay dry after the dryer!

Thursday morning greetings!  Day 2 of self-sufficiency for me.  I'm going to do some errands and visit a new gift shop in town to ooh and aah over the Vera Bradley merchandise.

Is anybody here still watching SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE?

I love this show.

My favorites are will and katee. And i also like joshua and twitch. And chelsie.

Do not care for comfort. And to me her and mark should go. I also don't care for courtney. And will be interested to see whether she or chelsie are in the B2 for girls.I would imagine it would be joshua and mark for the guys.

Last night's favorite routine for me was mia michaels' door routine (katee/twitch). To me katee is exceptional no matter who she is with!

When I was a kid, I was a big fan of Abbott and Costello.

And, I'm still a fan...except that now I laugh more at their timeless verbal routines [e.g. "Who's On First," "Slowly I Turned...", etc.] than I do with their slapstick.

I also recall liking several of Bob Hope's comedies that were made back in the 1950s [e.g. THE PALEFACE, HERE COME THE GIRLS, CASANOVA'S BIG NIGHT].

But, I think that the funniest "slapstick" comedy ever made has got to be THE COURT JESTER with Danny Kaye.

I must sheepishly confess that I laughed a lot at PORKY'S.  But that was many many years ago,  :)

Good morning!

That last storm last night cooled things off, but I didn't realize it until I got up VERY early this morning (6:45) and opened everything up after fetching the newspaper. Still have the A/C off and the attic fan pulling fresh air through the house. This is just bliss and such a relief from the abysmal weather we've been suffering through the last couple of weeks.

After cleaning the bedrooms this morning, I found I had the time to finish watching all the bonus features for THE HILLS. Was glad to have that entire set behind me.

Today I'll be ready to take a go at THE SCORPION KING on Blu-ray.

I hope DR elmore is already on his merry way down to DC via Amtrak sans delays.

*Although, I suspect that if DR elmore's train had been delayed this morning, I probably would have heard his kvetching all the way up here in Harlem.  ;)

I never got around to skimming through yesterday's AS THE WORLD TURNS, so I know that's on the DVR. So is last night's PROJECT RUNWAY which maybe I'll get to at some point today.

I noticed THE SCORPION KING has not ported over many of the bonus features from its Collector's Edition, so there won't be much more to watch once I see the U-Control supplements which play along with the movie.
