Well, you've read the notes, the notes did their act, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're doing their act at the Stockyards and they're slaying them.

Good morning, Dear Readers.

The evening with Jonathan Schwartz was lovely. He arrived a bit late - although he didn't mention it to the crowd, the car he was riding in was side-swiped in NYC. He was OK, and he just took a taxi out to the Westchester suburbs. The format of the evening was an ad-lib commentary on American Standards, sort of like he does on his radio show, illustrated with songs [he brought his accompanist, Tony Monte]. His singing is actually pretty enjoyable, and of course the stories he told were great. He knew anybody who's anybody. He also read short excerpts from his memoir and took audience questions. Started around 8:30 and finished around 11:00 PM with an intermission. All in all a most enjoyable evening.

DR François, nice to see your name "back in lights."

I don't always have the time to click on all of your links, but I do appreciate them!

Last night a group of friends watched Goldfinger (Blu Ray) and was surprised to find out that two of them had never seen the movie before.

It was watched on a LCD and the quality of the movie looked like it was shot yesterday. We listened to the 5.1 DTS audio. It worked very well on the title sequence and several other sequences but for the most part it was quiet in the surround area.

But restored image and film were very nice. I meant to look at the sky to see if it was blue, but I forgot to. However I didn't notice any brown which is one of BK's pet peeves.

The library is getting Vicky Cristina Barcelona. I'm looking forward to seeing it!

I see no Desperate Housewives or Brothers & Sisters tonight.

But i have new TAR, Apprentice and Damages (on here on sundays).

I was really sick yesterday afternoon. I get headaches (minor ones) every week or two. But yesterday i had just a horrible one. The pain was so bad i was almost crying.

It's especially scary because i've had migraines before (2 times). And one time i had to be hospitalized. So for me i'd almost rather break my arm then get a bad headache.

I took some motrin at noon. But the pain stopped for a little bit then increased by a lot. But 3:40pm the pain was very severe. So i took something stronger (atisol i think it's called).

I was supposed to go to dinner but didn't think i'd be able to. But my 6:30pm it was much better.
I brought earplugs (since sound was really bothering me) and said i might have to leave early.

The weird thing was the restaurant was so loud. And at the beginning (even with one ear plug in) it was all whizzing around in my head. But luckily it got quieter and i started to feel better!

I'm just reading the posts from yesterday and see DR dan's mention of earth day. I tried to turn out all the lights at 8:30pm. But i was just getting home so i had to keep one light on.

Interestingly yesterday at the mall for earth day they were giving out free brita watering filtration systems. I am looking forward to trying this. Does anyone have this?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 29, 2009, 05:53:44 AM »

We have the Brita system, DR JENNIFER, and it is very nice and works quite well.

DR MBARNUM I liked the posters from yesterday!

And a nice review for ANYA!

Of course today is a work day.

Last night on DVD I watched Mr Paul Naschy in FURY OF THE WOLFMAN which cost 99 cents at Oldies.com and was worth every penny.

RE: PITTSBURGH

I don't think that this film got any sort of theatrical release. As I recall, it aired on A&E or Bravo or one of the other cable networks as a "special".

I spoke to Ed Begley about the show awhile back and, it's my understanding that, although they were trying to keep it light, the film is (essentially) an actual account of Goldblum doing THE MUSIC MAN in Pittsburgh.

I didn't find it very funny either. Indeed, there are several moments that are "painful". But, according to Begley, what happened happened.

And we had to watch it.....I didn't like it too much either.

Good morning, all! My friend David Byrne wrote the score for the film PITTSBURGH, and I do want to see it. I was invited to the NYC opening but didn't make it. I don't remember the reason. Could I have been in LA with THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X at the time? Perhaps.

Today's a BABES IN TOYLAND day; my colleague Peter Foley has gone through my Main Report and made some good comment on the grammar, syntax, etc. and I'm now taking his notes and rethinking my text.

I wanna see FINIAN'S RAINBOW again!

Wow...there is a commercial with someone singing this song, and I could NOT understand what he was saying....I thought it was some foreign language until it finally hit me what it WAS!

Wish I was There. Listen to him Daily on XM Radio and have listened to him for Years and Years and saw him perform at Michael's Pub in New York.Have all three of his recordings(two on LP and One on CD) I have been as you gather a BIG fan.
