Doggie chat lines usually involve lots of licking and sniffing and butts.  

Clearly, if dogs are going to become computer literate, we need an Internet that smells.

...Since I had some time before the last exam (the dreaded math exam) I quickly went to the car and looked over the flash cards I made. This proved useful as  there questions related to the flash cards I crammed with. There were more problem solving questions like: Tom rented a car for $60 a day and $0.32 a mile. He used the car for three days and 343 miles. What city did he visit? ...

Fresno.

The distances aren't all that great there, but there's nothing else to do so you might as well stay in your car and drive.

Early TOD:

What television star's album made because he/she was a television star is your favorite?

IE - Miss Dorothy Provine's two Warner Bros. Albums of 20's songs because she happened to play a singer in a speak easy on a Warner Bros series called The Roaring 20's....ie....

More to the point, which of today's television stars could get away with recording an album, simply based on the fact that they are television stars?

Oh, wait a second.

My bad.

I forgot - Miley Cyrus.

Dorothy Provine was/is best friends with a woman whose husband worked for my Dad back in the 1960s.  This family was popping out a kid a year for the whole time they lived in SLC and I used to go over to their house and swim (the husband had been on the 1956 US Olympic Swim Team, IIRC--if 1956 was a summer year, LOL).  I remember M.A. (the wife-slash-friend of Provine's) took us to see "Good Neighbor Sam" just because Provine was in it.

I need a vacation.  These forty-four/forty-six hour workweeks are getting to me.   :P

Of course, we can't afford for me to go on vacation.  And the store can't afford for me to go on vacation.

 :P :P

What I really need is some good putz time.  Maybe on Tuesday (my only day off this week) der B and I can head into town, I can park him somewhere, and I can wander around aimlessly, just to enjoy myself.

yes DR GINNY - the World of Wisdom is a destination retailer!

DR JMK - back in the old days, the Winter AND Summer Olympics were held the same year.....  So 1956 was an Olympic Year.....

Exactly how does one become best friends with Dorothy Provine, I wonder?

Good morning, all! The dog in the apartment above me began barking at 12:30 am and stopped some time later than the note I left on the tenant's door at 1 am.  If this begins to be a common occurrence, I will send emails to the apartment management as well.  I'm puzzled by the whole megillah since the dog's been really qiuiet for the past 6 months, and suddenly he's making noises. I know part of it is his owner's late night socializing - he wasn't in till about 4 - but this old coot needs whatever sleep he can get.

Then, I finally got to sleep and had a very bizarre dream which began in a bookstore, and I rcommended a book, which was sort of a cavalcade of friends in the late 60s wo had moved to New York, whose lives changed as they met other friends, changed lifestyles and occupations, onle lady had a baby by someone other than her partner, some left Manhattan for communal living; anyway, I was suddenly inside this story, and I was one of the characters whose lives outside Manhattan - by the ocean as I recall - didn'nt work and it was back to Manhattan, I was woring on a film score at Town Hall, I believe, with an unhappy singer etc.

I awoke from this thing thoroughly rattled by it all, around 4 am, feelng a great sense of loss or a similar emotion, and spent 5 minutes or so weeping uncontrollably.

This morning, laundry for the bedding wrapped in mothballs and some work on the BABRS IN TOYLAND info from the LoC.

BK, I'm happy the show went well for you, Kevin, and Sean. Here are some travel vibes to send you back to LA:[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Safe Travel Vibes for BK! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DR JRand 57, I loved every album Miss Provine made and I wish that someone would release them on CD!

JR--IIRC, M.A. (the wife/friend) had gone to college with Provine and I think they were roommates in their sorority--but this is all coming from the dim vestiges of my very young (like maybe 5 year old) memory.  I know they were still very close circa early-mid 60s when the family was in SLC.

1958 -- directed by William Wyler -- starring Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons, Charlton Heston, Carroll Baker, Charles Bickford and Burl Ives -- about feuding cattlemen Ives and Bickford and how their feud affects lives and leads to ruin.  Seminal movie score by Jerome Moross.

I'm not a huge fan of westerns, but there are a few that I liked and this is one of them. Heston gives one of the best performances of his career (I'm not a fan of his usually), and everyone is just wonderful.

Ives won an Oscar for his performance (though I think his Big Daddy in CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF probably helped him win that year).

And I just loved her song and comedy sequence in THE GREAT RACE.

The other day when we were discussing slapstick comedies, I never responded on the topic of the day, but THE GREAT RACE would certainly be among my favorites.

I did take the two-mile jog, and now I must shower and pack up the computer and other stuff and wait downstairs for the car to pick me up at eleven.  The sun peeked out for about three minutes while I was jogging - keep the excellent vibes and xylophones for the weather to hold and be nice.  See you all when I'm back in LA.

My boss suggested that I not take the time to review the remaining Paramount barebones reissues they sent me and to move on to other stuff, but I decided I'd take a day for myself since that frees me from watching four movies this week.

The next DVD I'll review will be the PBS offering on the early adulthood of Muhammad Ali in Miami.

I have the MONK episode that I started last night to watch during lunch today.

This afternoon, I'll likely watch NANCY DREW on the DVR recorded from HBO-HD.

If PATRIOT GAMES recorded from Universal-HD, I'll watch that, too, though it wasn't on the DVR playlist when I looked yesterday. I may have forgotten to set the DVR for it, so I'll have to search for it again. Universal-HD often replays these HD movies multiple times. I just wish they didn't have commercials.

I liked it very much. I owned all of her recordings. The arrangements on the 1920s records were the real stock arrangements published for sale by Harms and Witmark, two of the publishers Warner Brothers Music purchased in 1929.
