Boy, is it hot, and boy, am I ever STUPID! I left the door to my office open and all the cool air from the AC flowed out into the rest of the upstairs that I don't cool, so when I came upstairs it was hot as hell in this office. I have the floor fan going, and the AC is doing its thing, so it'll be pleasant in here soon enough, but I feel like a complete idiot.

I watched last night's RESCUE ME while I ate lunch. Good episode except for of Tommy's (by now) boring sexcapades with Sheila. I am SO over that character and can't believe he can't come up with any better plotlines for himself. That story was done to death the first three years.

For the rest of the afternoon, I've been watching LOST episodes. I got four watched, but am a little disappointed I didn't get farther along.

I have one more episode on disc 4 before I can move on to disc five. In the episode I just finished, Charlie shot and killed the treacherous Ethan.

The only bonus features thus far have been commentaries. The last one had Maggie Grace and Ian Showhalder talking about their backstory episode where we find out the two are not actually brother and sister.

I didn't remember that there were two polar bears on the island.

I just glanced at an article on foods to avoid at restaurant chains. Now I want to try the fried macaroni & cheese at the Cheesecake Factory

Why? Is it one of those foods you should avoid??

I have a question for anyone that might know the answer, and it's about Hello, Dolly! - something of which we can never have enough of.

In 2000 or a little before, Tams-Whitmark began providing alternate keys for the character of Dolly Levi. I guess after many years of inquiries and things like that, they finally gave in. The new keys were a 5th or so above Carol Channing's original keys in the score. It was an additional rental, but worth it. Recently, a friend of mine who is directing a production of the show, noticed that the alternate keys were no longer listed on the TM website and when asked, TM said that they were not offering them anymore.

Does anyone know the reasoning for this?

A few minutes ago I had my monthly phone conversation with AT&T. I bought an AT&T phone a few months ago and the billing has been a nightmare. I call them up, they seem cooperative enough, and tell me that they've straightened it all out and I owe nothing. Then I receive a bill saying that I owe them hundreds of dollars (literally!). Today I made sure I got the name of the rep, so if we have to go through this again we won't be starting from zero. I take notes of all these calls and that helps, but when I asked for an email (or something) to document our conversation I was told that wasn't possible.

Gawd, what a drag!

OK, rant over.

I need to run an errand and grab some lunch. Maybe that will help.

I will head downstairs now and rejoin my boy friend Matthew Fox and other actors who are LOST.

OK... I'm off to The High Line. I believe a walk three stories about the ground and some fresh air will do me good.

Laters..

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #166 on:** June 10, 2009, 02:06:08 PM »

Oh...

DR Jeanne - If you happen to be near an AT&T store in the near future, I'd go in there and talk to a sales/billing manager in person. Just to make sure it's documented. In person.

Well, it's the last day of school. Time for me to trek down to Bridlemile for the 5th grade "clap out." (NOT a euphemism).

DR George,

The DVD I sent you of PUSHING DAISIES got returned today, so I must not have your correct address or I addressed it wrongly. Please PM me with your currenty address. Thanks. I'll try to mail it again on Friday.

The same thing happened to me when I tried mailing George a DVD some time ago. IIRC, Master George forgot to include his Unit Number (not a euphemism).

Well, spank my butt and call me Dodie.

Did "Dodie" leave the SW, #M2 off the address he gave you?

AARRGGHH!!

It's called a "brain fart!" Sue me (a Guys and Dolls reference)!

The kids were so cute down at the school. Zach's teacher came up to me and hugged me and told me what an impression Zach had made on her. I'm taking it as a compliment.

Yes, but I bet neither of you has driven to the store only to realize your kids were not in the back seat as you had assumed.

I meant to comment last night on DR Jennifer's wish that the GUYS AND DOLLS cast had done a number featuring the four leads. Unfortunately, there is no song in the show that all four leads sing, except for the brief reprise of GUYS AND DOLLS at the end of the show. In fact, other than a few bars in THE OLDEST ESTABLISHED, Nathan Detroit only sings one song and that is the duet of SUE ME, which would have gotten lost on the stage at Radio City. If they had wanted to showcase a number that might have sold a few tickets, they probably should have used LUCK BE A LADY TONIGHT. It features not only the male chorus, but also the far more charismatic Craig Bierko.

Thanks! I just sent you my correct address.

I'm sorry this happened, DR George. I had the best of intentions. The address I had for you was obviously your previous address (when we exchanged those WILL & GRACE episodes several years ago). I have never had the address you sent me for your new condo. I'll put it in the mail on Friday if you still want it.

Yes, I still want it! Thanks! My niece and a friend of mine also want to see this...however long it takes.

Been away?

LOL! Yoou gave me my first big laugh of the day.

If DR Jane has the time to catch up with previous postings, she'll see that there have been folks asking about her, and that she knows we're all glad to have her back.

Thank you DR Matt. That is nice to know.

Did I miss any new shows to record? We have caught up with our viewing. Last night we watched the final episode of REAPER. I thought it was very clever.

I know, it broke our hearts to leave him. He had other dogs to play with which was nice. I went to the photo printing shop & made us some wallets sized prints for our wallets. Keith really appreciated that.

I feel for ya! I do.

High here in Oakland CA today was F 69. It was a "warm" 69, though. Not like yesterday's very breezy and chilly F 69. We are supposed to get rain today. ANOTHER rain....IN JULY!

I don't know where I am any more.
