Hmm...

Catherine McPhee was just singing on "The View".  She was singing "Somewhere" (from West Side Story).  David Foster was accompanying her on piano - along with a click-track of the rest of the orchestra.  They were performing the arrangement of "Somewhere" that he had written for Barbra Streisand's "Broadway Album".  Thankfully, Ms. McPhee did not totally ape Ms. Streisand's version, however, I just found the whole set-up a little weird.

*Although, Kiri Te Kanawa used to use the same arrangement in concert too, so... ???

Ms te Kanawa listened only to Streisand'sBroadway album when she was recording the album of Gershwin songs: the voice of an angel and the mind of a peanut.

Last night's "The Biggest Loser":


SPOILER


There have been bone-headed maneuvers on this show in years past, but one of my favorite players this season has gone from making a brilliant move last week to making one of the stupidest moves EVER this week.

Amy voted out Coleen last night INSTEAD OF chief manipulator/bitch Vicky.  Vicky is Amy's BIGGEST THREAT and yet she chose to atone for voting against "Blue" last week and voted "Black" this week.  There's no physical way Coleen could ever have challenged Amy for what she currently holds: The highest weight loss percentage of all players.  Even last night, Amy was at the top, and Coleen was at the bottom.

For some dumb reason, her "blue" compatriots have brainwashed her into believing that they have to vote as a "team" even though the team phase is over and it's every man/woman for him/herself. 

I "smelled" this one coming a mile away.  Vicky DEMANDED everyone perceive Amy as a traitor to the cause.  She told Bob she "would not tolerate" a "turncoat" on "her team."   Bob simply wanted to make peace and get all his former team members to make nice and work together.   That's Bob's folly inasmuch as he has lost a key player because of Vicky and Heba (Heba's sending Phil to the black team and the trashing of his character based on nothing)  and he will lose his BEST shot at having the overall winner if Amy is ever below the yellow line because Vicky, Heba and hubby Ed WILL vote Amy out regardless of who she's up against at the bottom.

It's all too stupid at this point.  Amy has been on an emotional roller coaster all week, but it was nothing compared to the total meltdown the viewing audience was treated to when Coleen learned she was leaving.  Coleen nearly distinegrated in tears before our eyes.  It was heartrending.  Amy will have to do double-penance the rest of her life for her stupid, idiotic, boneheaded "mistake" last night.

Update on my ComCast signal issues from the past few days:

I re-booted my DVR player last night (box is incorporated into the DVR).  Nothing changed.  I called ComCast and the tech there tried a few things and then asked me to  re-boot.  Still nothing.  He asked me to make sure the coaxial cable was securely fastened on both the DVR and at the wall plate.  I did that.

I got TCM and IFC signals restored.  Still don't have The Weather Channel.  I believe the outage was caused by my replacing the existing coaxial cable with an older, but longer, coaxial cable when I rearranged my TV stand and components rack a week ago.

Sigh.  I've ordered a high-end coaxial cable (8') in hopes of remedying this, and future related, problems.

I'm trying not to wish time away this week lest it come back to haunt me next week.

At 5 p.m. Friday, November 21, I'm off until Monday, December 1.  I've been looking forward to this for months.

When I moved into my house last year I found that the image quality through my cable was terrible on certain channels--ghosts and static, etc.  I had Comcast in to check and they rewired (it still had the original installed cable from 1977 or so.)  Afterwards, the picture quality was terrific and this was before I had the digital service installed.

Long story short--Old cable, picture problems.

That said, having seen Hepburn with so many "older" actors in her career, Bogart did not seem nearly as odd/strange/or ludicrous to me as did Cooper in "Love in the Afternoon."

I hated that pairing.  I read the ending of the film was changed & think they should have left the original one as it was.

Yesterday I went to the ENT’s office for a CT.  It was the easiest test I have ever had.  I sat in a chair while a machine did one circle around my head.  I got up and left. 

Today the office called & said I have chronic ethmoid sinusitis.  It isn’t bad enough for an antibiotic, & the reason I don’t have typical sinus symptoms.  It should go away eventually-EVENTUALLY! 3 months is long enough in my opinion.  I’m picking up a sinus rinse kit today-sounds like fun.

DR Jane - My DH Richard has been using one of those kits for about a week.  He thinks it helps, but the sound effects are pretty gruesome.
