I loved LIFE WITH MARS tonight even though the story of the girl working for the mobsters was very predictable. Jason O'Mara's very strong performance really carried the hour tonight.

It's LIFE ON MARS, isn't it? Anyway, I'm finding it fascinating. It's one of those shows that I can't say I "love" but I feel compelled to keep watching it. I'm not complaining, I just find it fascinating

Hmm, I just learned that our Congressional District is the number on alternative energy district in the county. Cool. We have lots of wind mills, biodiesel, ethanol, methane etc... I heard the other day that if there was storage capacity via some huge battery, our whole district could go off the grid.

So...

Instead of hopping on the 7:00am bus tomorrow morning back to NYC, I'm going to head up to Northern Virginia with Steve for a day of shopping. He's been wanting to make an IKEA run, as well as possibly a Tysons Corner run, so, he took the day off and asked if I'd like to come along. And I will.

And then I will just grab a bus from DC back to NYC tomorrow night after dinner. -Which is much more civilized than getting on the 1:00am bus early(!) Saturday morning.

Of course it is. It was a slip of the fingers.

I just donated to "No on 8" in California.

That is all.

I knew I loved you!

We have a similar campaign here in AZ (Prop 102-- most definitely vote NO-- that is, IMHO). It's already on the books defining what marriage is (which is not MY definition), but the little pigs want to amend the Constitution too. This same Proposition failed the last time (they got too piggy, and it backfired on them), and we for once were progressive enough to vote it down. I am afraid to say that of about 15 similar ballots around the country, we were the only state to defeat the Prop. Arizona then! Who'da thunk it?

I must write some now and then head down to bed.

Good night!

It Takes A Thief (which is less about a heist and more to give Hitchcock a chance to do all the things he does so well).

I had no idea Hitchcock directed episodes of that tv show.

My big problem with Body in the Library was the change in the denouement. The "repurposing" of Marple was bothersome, yes, but the "new" ending was just silly and unneeded.

Sorry DR Druxy, all I know is that I find fax machines temperamental & frustrating at times. At least the one we currently own. Did you get a surge protector for your computer?

Actually, I had a surge protector, but it didn't do it any good.

TCB, have you read this or heard about it? It's a different theory on the Titanic sinking. I just finished it last night

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #250 on:** October 30, 2008, 09:22:42 PM »

DR Druxy - Sorry to hear about your computer woes. Hopefully, you'll get everything back up and running without spending too much more money.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #251 on:** October 30, 2008, 09:23:40 PM »

Well, I'm already sleepy - which is a good thing since I need to be ready to head out of here at 10:00. So...

Goodnight.

Re: last night's "Design Star"

Hooray! The "designer" I've liked least the entire competition FINALLY got his due with elimination. His ego knows no bounds and his style is a bit matronly. Small wonder he's style editor for "Martha Stewart Living". Still....if Martha was watching she might want a new style editor because his is decidedly "twee". IMO, of course.

What? You haven't also planned your potty breaks?

Didn't Eddie Murphy sing "My girl wants to potty all the time, potty all the time, potty all the tiiime"

Back from rehearsal, which was amazing and not in a good way, and then Happy Days, which was amazing and not in a good way. In fact, the only upside of my afternoon and evening was grabbing a hamburger at Wendy's next door to the theater. I haven't had a Wendy's burger in twenty years - I'd forgotten how tasty it is. I had a little Caesar salad with it, which was fine.

bk · « **Reply #261 on:** October 30, 2008, 11:18:38 PM »

Since I'm not going to talk about the rehearsal in the notes, I can only tell you that the singer had a melt down for personal reasons and I had to play therapist and cheerleader - I don't mind doing the latter but the former is not my thing and certainly not my thing for the pittance I agreed to help this person for. I should never have said yes. I'm hoping she'll come in positive and ready to work tomorrow at noon - if it turns into what it turned into today, I'll leave.

And since I won't go into detail about Happy Days in the notes I will only tell you that it was excruciatingly bad, worse than I could have imagined and for very interesting reasons. The score is horrible, the actors are all fine, the direction is amateur, and the choreography, while busy and energetic, is unfocused and uninteresting. But it's the story and the script - does Mr. Marshall not remember what made his show a success? Hint: It wasn't just the Fonz. The leads in the musical are Fonzie and Pinky Tuscadero (the worst character ever on the TV series). Richie disappears for half the first act, and he really has nothing much to do with the show. Well, note to everyone: Happy Days was a hit not only because the audience loved the Fonz, but because they loved the heart and soul of the show - Richie (Ron Howard).

I like their baked potatos as a treat every once in a while

Cilla, I have seen Life on Mars tape delayed and I am enjoying it also.

Have you ever seen the British version of the show?
