Back from a quick visit to Cinecon, where I got something extraordinary - I'll try to scan at least a big portion of it because I know it will make some people here smile.

No one in the jernt but me? At two-twenty? I'm afraid this will NOT do, oh, no, this will NOT do.

Okay, six GUESTS - shall I just close her down? WUSSBURGERING at two-thirty must pay the price ($6.17) - this sort of unseemliness should not go unrewarded.

So nice to see Danise today! You've been missed around here, my friend.

Happy Birthday to Swishy Sarah!

I got this incredible photograph today - a long inscription by Nick Adams to a critic who liked his performance in a Wagon Train episode. The theater is my beloved Wiltern - right around the corner was my father's restaurant - both of which I write extensively about in all three Kritzer books. I'm sure I saw this double bill back then. The photo itself is washed out, color-wise, but the click of a button on my scanner fixed that beautifully. I LOVE this photo, and the inscription is just dear. There's quite a bit more picture information on the right-hand side - too big for the scanner.

The world needs moe friends like DearReader Laura and DR Jose.

Thank you for not taking photographs of DR Elmore's Discharge. (It would have ruined the day for Toby and Dylan).

As it is already Monday here I am not able to even send my apologies etc in time!

Of these first four episodes, I had missed episode #2, so it was brand new for me. All very entertaining episodes, but I can see why the show hasn't become a hit. The continuing story arc involving his investigation into the murder that he was convicted for would be very confusing for anyone tuning in for the first time but had missed the first, say, three episodes.

They played the whole season here a few months ago. and i really got attached to it. Very interested to see the new season of LIFE.

Dear Movie people - is there any news yet on the DVD releases of:

Isadora
Lili
Travels With My Aunt.

I was sort of bummed a few minutes ago, because earlier i had looked in my tv to check out this week's premiere of AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL (making sure when it was on). And it wasn't listed.

It really bugs me that we do not get the CW here. And the channel that has carried it every year (city tv) apparently is not showing cycle 11. It is on CTV's A station (same as gossip girl) which is not available in quebec. I don't get why they keep doing this. I'm guessing that ANTM must have viewers!

I still have not found any way to watch GG (although my sis said she'd record it for me). But i was going thru every channel i could think of and apparently STAR will replay ANTM on saturdays. So i can see it on sat sept 6th instead of wed sept 3rd. So that's at least okay. But it had not occured me to that City tv would stop showing it!

My muscle is doing okay. It won't hurt and then it will. I was trying to be quite careful. But i spent most of the day at the park having a picnic. And when i was alone with my niece and her friend they wanted to go on the swings. So i had to pick them up. Her friend is light as a feather. But not my niece. Luckily i did not take them out!

I've been icing. And taking the homeopathic meds. So hopefully that will help.

Jennifer · « **Reply #132 on:** August 31, 2008, 03:25:15 PM »

Oh and legally blonde the reality show started airing here last week. So tonight is episode 2. I had already seen the first 5 or 6, although on the computer, not on tv.

It's sort of funny knowing who won, and who i liked. And watching the comments the judges made to them.

Good Afternoon!

Well, I got here a few minutes, and DR elmore is doing fine. In fact, he should be discharged in a few minutes.

Laters...

I'm so happy for DR elmore, I could jump for joy!

I meant to add, as well, that the wonderful staff at St Lukes think its's a matter of getting the medication adjusted now, so that's promising.

I had an interesting visit with the wife of the older gentleman in the neighboring bed in my space when I arrived; a composer named Ed Lipton, who's written several children's things. I liked his wife very much.............

Maybe you're not diabetic, maybe you're just straight!

Good Evening!

Greetings from Fred & Skip's!

Yummers!

bk · « **Reply #141 on:** August 31, 2008, 05:14:20 PM »

What's the yummers? Details, especially after the crap I ate from Gelson's. I keep saying never again and should stick to my guns. I had a couple of chicken tenders and some of their lobster salad and a tiny bit of chicken and noodles in glop, just to see what it was like. That's the meal o' the day, but what a waste. I'd have been better off with a Subway turkey sandwich.

I sadly left a very merry group at DR FJL's and Skip's, but I'm ready for bed since I slept so poorly last night.

DR vixmom looks amazing and the vixter is turning into a beautiful high school girl. I wish DR Ginny and Richard a safe trip tomorrow. As for my local boys, DR Jose never fails to amaze me and Skip and FJL have the classiest salon in town.

Skip's dinner was wonderful: fried chicken, a fantastic green salad, a wnderful loaf of bread, and I even had a very small slice of blueberry pie and homemade ice cream. I was very careful, I believe, and it was all very very tasty.

I will take my meds, have a bit of snack and ready myself for bed.

I just returned from a DVD release party here in Tacoma. Now, this is not a common occurrence for Tacoma, even on a Labor Day weekend; but this was the latest release from DEAD Gentlemen Prodcutions which is based in Tacoma. The new DVD is THE GAMERS: DORKNESS RISING.

Now, I do not claim to be a gamer (I don't know a dungeon from a dragon), but since this was filmed locally and features several actors who are my friends; I attended the party, I purchased my copy, and had it signed by cast and crew. Tonight, I plan on watching the DVD, even though I probably won't understand most of it.

BTW: The guy in the dress on the cover, played Charlie's Aunt in the production that Jed and I did two years ago. Do we see a pattern developing?

The movie was a big hit at both Com Con and Gen Con this summer. Also, the film is available for rent from Netflix, or for puchase from Amazon and Blockbuster Video.

Thanks for Sharing that DR TCB
(I mistakenly was seduced by the pic and did not realise it was a post from you. Is this your first in some months?)

I too don't know my Dungeon from my Dragon. I have never even played Pacman or Space invaders etc. (I did venture into the world of Carmen Santiago with my students).

I believe Jed is a player of such games!

I just finished listening to Ben review GYPSY on the BBC. What a wonderful speaking voice.
