Good morning, all! I don't have a lot planned today beyond my walk, the NYPL, and THE MOST HAPPY FELLA scores. One of my colleagues on the BABES IN TOyLAND project has let another priority take over his life for the nonce, and several people, including myself, are on hold because of it. Frankly, at this point I'm a bit pissed. I have scores to send out, things to plan, and I know that when his current project ceases, I'll be pressured for my time from him. He's a good friend and I wish him well, but he could have spared me at least a couple of hours in the past two weeks to help me accomplish some things.

Thursday morning greetings! It's foggy this morning in SW Ohio and one of the presidential candidates is having a rally at 5/3 Field at 11am. That venue, home of the Dayton Dragons, is about 2 blocks from the library. Many library employees (including moi) rent spaces in a privately-owned parking lot that's very convenient to the stadium. Two staff members from the company that owns our lot were out there making sure that rally attendees were not taking our spaces, for which I thanked them profusely. Of course, they were also offering unrented spaces for $5 apiece

Interesting thing about my doctor's visit yesterday--he wanted to give me a booster inoculation shot for tetnus, diphtheria and whooping cough. Evidently, the immunization from the shots we late baby boomers got when we were kiddies is wearing off and we all need to be revaccinated.

My doctor was already out of flu vaccine, but I'll be getting my shot here at work anyway during the next month.

And hopefully, I'll get the results of my blood test by tomorrow. I'll have to call to get the results if I want to hear it--my doctor's office never calls back if it's good news.

Did someone mention "If I Had a Hammer" - isn't it time to see the Debbie Reynolds version again, and then atone for giggling about it?

OMG! How wrong! How so terribly wrong!

I'm trying to figure out the source of this clip. With all the edit cuts it doesn't really look like 60's network television (though it does have the sound of the 60's.) Maybe it's Canadian or British? Anyone have a guess?

It seems our host is a Madison Avenure dream consumer:

Airborne
Emergen-C
Cold-eez

all fancy packaging and marked-up prices for Vitamin supplements (Cold-eez throws in some zinc).

The most healthful aspect of using them is probably all the water you consume.

Good morning!

We had rain for much of the evening, and it's very soggy outside this morning even though the additional rain which was predicted hasn't arrived as yet. I'm really wondering if we're going to get any more. Cool, too, which I love.

I really can't wait to see my hunky Jason O'Mara on tonight's premiere of LIFE ON MARS. I never saw the British version which this is adapted from, but the reshot pilot has gotten very positive reviews. Good or bad, I'll watch just to see Jason in action.

I tried to go to On Demand last night to watch Sunday's MAD MEN. The episode was up, but when I tried to access it, I got a message that it wasn't available at that time and to try again later. What a bummer! I guess I'll get to it later this weekend, maybe Sunday afternoon.

Well, since I'm up so early (for me), I probably should get ready for work, so I will.

I'm waiting for the GE repairman and doing laundry. A good day for laundry since I'm sorta stuck here, anyway.

Good book project vibes for MR BK.....who knows....Benjamin may end up on the B I G S C R E E N.

DR GEORGE sorry your production was canceled, perhaps under the circumstances, it was best.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #27 on:** October 09, 2008, 08:01:20 AM »

Well my television set is not working this morning. It was fine last night. The blue light comes on that it is ON....but now it won't turn off, and there is NO picture, and I can't bring up the little icon telling me which input to access....it is just ON.

I called service and they are sending me a prepaid BOX to send it away in.

But first I think I will unplug it and see if it resets itself. Time will tell.

If the Kritzer trilogy becomes a film do I get a vote as to who plays Jeanne? I certainly think I ought to!

I finally got to watch the Monday night NBC shows. And i didn't really like Chuck. I found Heroes very confusing (way too much happened, although there were a few great developments). But i did like Life.
