This gown is NOT available at Yvette's.
Until after this year's Prom Season.

That's okay--it will take me a while to find a matching hat and gloves anyway.

Forget the gloves and go for 6 inch stiletto heels!

Well  it looks like we are going to have to arrange hotel accomodations for part of my niece's honeymoon.  Very annoying.  The time share people are lucky I am voiceless.

I'll bet the Vixter could do a great "Irate Mom" on the phone.

Oh well....today is the family planning meeting wherein our parents meet with us to tell us of their final arrangements and wishes so that nothing is left to chance or whim.

It will be a fun evening.

DR JRand - Yes, the website for The Story of My Life is pretty cool.

*And they even use the "ten-years old" picture for the cast in the Playbill too. :)

Just heard Denny's gave away 2 million Grand Slams yesterday

Not a bad "return" for "investing" FIVE million dollars in their first-ever Super Bowl commercial.  Now it's just a matter to see how much return paying business they get as a result of the promotion.

What the--?!?!  ALLEGRO is another CD that does not have encoded track information?!?  What is this, 1999?!?

Just wait another day or two, and then check have iTunes "Check for Track Names" then.  Or even check later tonight.  (I still remember that it took a few hours for the track names for the "Dreamgirls" soundtrack track names to come up when it was originally released - which really surprised me.)

I have a question for the library workers here (or even people who use the library a lot).

Is it common to cut up little paperbacks?

My sister's library takes their small paperbacks and cuts off the front and back and glues it on to this hard covered frame.

Now it obviously makes the books last a lot longer. But it just seems so wrong to me to cut up books.



DR Jennifer - that's a standard rebinding practice for paperbacks.  The alternative would probably be discarding the book all together.

I did not know that. I need to check my library. But i have never seen a book rebinded in this way. Although all the soft covers i've taken out from my library have been the larger one. I am going to check and see what the smaller ones look like. But i just found it very odd (it looks odd too).

DR George may be able to confirm this, but I think libraries can even purchase new paperbacks pre-bound in the manner you describe.  The library from which I just retired acquired paperbacks with heavy-duty clear plastic covers.

DR JMK - Just remember, you can get salmonella from things other than peanuts.  Are eggs a normal part of your diet?

I always wash the eggs before cracking them open.

Although one of the Cast Rec Listers said that if you downloaded it from I-Tunes (I don't know if it's available on other sites) you get that encoded information

As well as a nice .PDF booklet. (From iTunes, that is.)

He has the physical CD, he didn't download it from i-Tunes. It's the physical CD that has no encoding.

Well, whether you wash your eggs or not, it still comes down to cooking them properly.

The CD should still have some sort of "digital identity", even if the track names are not encoded. I've imported a couple of CDs into iTunes that have not the track names encoded on the disk, but it was just a matter of fetching those names from the online database based on the disc's' identity.

DR Jose, I think you might be right about the cd having some digital signature.  It just may be that the iTunes database does not yet have the info on ALLEGRO.  I'll try again tomorrow.

And by this time tomorrow, I'm sure a bunch of people will have submitted the track names to iTunes too.

RE IDOL:

Hopefully with the group numbers tonight, we'll hear more singing but thinking to years past, that wasn't the case either, so I just don't know. The manufactured "drama" of people having meltdowns shown on-camera is old and unappealing. Oh, I don't doubt the singers' sincerity. I'm sure the pressure is enormous. But the camera going in close to get all of the emotional collapses is not entertaining to me.

Well one thing that makes me hopefull is that this year Hollywood is being shown over 2 weeks. So probably they will show more?

But weren't some of the Hollywood week shows last year 2-hour shows?  I was surprised that last night's show - and last week's NYC/PR show - were only an hour.

So, I believe tonight will be another "post and pack, pack and post" night.  Although, I think I may just pack from 7:00-7:30, and leave it at that.  Thankfully, I don't need to leave for the airport until 9:00 tomorrow morning, so I'll have plenty of time for any "last minute" packing if needed.


This would make you "The Remarkable Mr. Post-and-Packer", wouldn't it!

Fix one problem...cause another:

LATIMES

Quote
But the delay also could make the confusing transition even more perplexing for some viewers.

TV stations are allowed to seek federal approval to turn off their analog signals before the new deadline. So instead of nearly all broadcasters making the switch on Feb. 17, stations now may ...

... make the switch at different times over the next four months.
That could create another hiccup: Some converter boxes don't have the ability to "pass through" analog signals. As a result, in areas where both digital and analog signals are transmitted, viewers with the wrong converter box may have to unplug the device to watch one channel broadcast in analog, then plug it back in to watch another in digital.
