The second one was back to the usual story with two stalwarts from 1950s and 1960s television: Patricia Barry and Simon Oakland.

Patricia Barry seemed to be a guest star on every TV series I ever watched growing up. Her cooing, seductive vixen was used in show after show until it was almost a joke to see her on a show. Even if she wasn't the guilty party, you could bet she had a scheme in the works and was full of lies and treachery.

I've listened to about five tracks of the new Gypsy CD. I'm enjoying them as I always enjoy almost any Gypsy CD, but, as all of the subsequent CDs, it doesn't come anywhere close to the original - sound-wise especially. The original is simply one of the greatest-sounding cast albums ever, and I don't mean that unconscionable remix by Mr. Thomas Z. Shepard, where he "fixed" a trumpet note in the overture, and inserted a different take on one line of Merman's in I can't remember what song. The sheer chutzpah of this was beyond belief, especially if some record producer had tried to do it to one of HIS albums. I'm sure if Mr. Styne and Mr. Sondheim had thought there was a cracked trumpet note they would have fixed it - they had the other take. One person's cracked trumpet note is another person's exciting trumpet note, and how dare him second-guess Mr. Styne and Mr. Sondheim, not to mention the album's producer, Mr. Lieberson, about a Merman take? Horrible, and I ONLY play the original CD issue.

So, yes, I'll be starting on GHOST WHISPERER this afternoon for review. There are 18 episodes in this strike-shortened season, but it'll still likely take me most of the weekend to get through them all. Season Three was an enjoyable season, so I'm looking forward to revisiting these episodes.

And have you been to the grocery store already this morning?

Not yet, I just spoke to my doctor, gave him all the info, and I need to refill the metformin this morning before I go shopping.

I'm also waiting to hear from Charlotte before she flies back to Ann Arbor today.

So, I'm not seeing the doctor until tuesday at 2:30, and the appointment's all set. So, after I hear from Charlotte, I will go to refill my prescription, and perhaps stop at the market.

My goal right now is to clean out the refigerator.

DR Elmore - we'll call you after we confer with DR Jose. We're off right now to meet him at MOMA.

Well, just make sure that if anything does happen to you, that you request to be taken back to St. Luke's... And to call ahead to see if Dr. Green Eyes in on-call at that time too. Otherwise, I'll have no real reason to visit you again.

BK, I don't know how you can say that the internet has reduced the sense of "discovery" when it comes to CDs....for goodness sake, I have discovered so many different singers and groups while just looking up one CD on Amazon or CDBaby.com...they always have links to other singers/groups, which leads to even more links to even more singers/groups...there are times I have spent hours just perusing those two websites and adding to my wish lists.

And the best part is that on the internet you can usually listen to snippets of the CD so as to know if it would appeal to you (although many retail stores allow this, also).

MBarnum · « **Reply #78 on:** August 29, 2008, 08:12:49 AM »

I have a 4 and 1/2 day weekend and I plan to get plenty of movie watching done. Maybe I will dig back into my Perry Mason sets as well. I just love that show.

Well, since you posted:

I got up and had about half a cup of cranberry juice and a slice of whole wheat bread; there's nothing in the refrigerator beyond that, a gallon of water, and 3 eggs at the moment.

the clean out should be a brief task!

If Mc Cain's goal was to not anger his perceived base and at the same time optimize his chance at reaching folks more in the center, Sarah Palin was the best choice. (Her political actions have been much more moderate than her ideological pronouncements.)

I have never had a discovery on amazon like I've had in record stores. Yes, maybe there's been a link to an interesting-sounding CD, but I rarely look at those because it's not in front of me in my hands.

However, the info gleaned on this here site has led me to some happy purchases.
