Good morning everyone.

Nice and cool outside now.

Sam · « **Reply #31 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:40:57 AM »

I loved the movie The Last Starfighter, wish I had the DVD, but I do have the cd.

Will put that on after work, while I go through the last of the boxes and then I'm done for a few days.

Sam · « **Reply #32 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:43:16 AM »

Off to work for as many years as it lasts. Hopefully.

Catch you later.

My advise, happy vibes for today for everyone.

Best career advice I ever got probably came from my mentor, my theatre porfessor, Charles Dickens (yes, his real name), which was: know how to tie a tie, have a pair of black dress shoes, and be a good company person. The latter part of that advice, of course, was the most important. Which basically meant keep your nose clean and do your job, don't engage in backstage backbiting and intrigue, don't go wrecking company cars or trashing apartments when on the road.

I have always tried to adhere to this advice and found it kept me employable and re-hireable.

Thanks, Sam.

Well...

Since Andy Cohen is on Twitter - twitter.com/BravoAndy - I do know that six designers showed in the "finals" a couple of weeks ago. If you want to, you could go back through his timeline/tweets and find out who those six designers were.

Actually they are already down to the F4 designers. And it's not spoilers that i was looking for. I just thought that it might be well known if the public was voting (or if the judges were deciding).

I don't get Bravo so i have not seen any ads for the show. I know on the last show Isaac said something about the public deciding. So it sort of sounded to me like perhaps they would show episode 11 next week and then there would be some sort of call-in and then maybe the results would be either the next day or week.

Good morning!

We've already had two different shwoers this morning. One happened before I got up, but the road was wet when I went out to get the newspaper. The second happened about an hour ago and lasted a good thirty minutes. None of them cooled things off. Another 90-day today. Ugh!

Well, they probably showed six designers like they do with PROJECT RUNWAY showing more than the finalists to keep the viewing public from knowing the outcome ahead of time.

Doing some reading last night and this morning, it does appear as if the public votes for the winner. But we'll know more this week. It's a two-part finale that begins this Thursday.

Matt H. · « **Reply #38 on:** July 13, 2009, 08:03:41 AM »

I haven't read anything about the ratings of THE FASHION SHOW, so I'm not sure if Bravo will continue with it or not. PROJECT RUNWAY begins in August.

Matt H. · « **Reply #39 on:** July 13, 2009, 08:04:29 AM »

I lucked out this morning. I called for an eye doctor's appointment, and they had just had a cancellation for tomorrow morning, so I get this chore done sooner than I expected. Yay!

Noisy, noisy, noisy (that is three noisies) - now, not so much, but fifteen minutes ago it was a symphony of noise.

Oh, and I'm up.

Matt H. · « **Reply #42 on:** July 13, 2009, 08:08:01 AM »

There was no UPS delivery this morning, so it appears today will be another day off from work. If it is, I'll likely watch MURDER IS EASY from last night this afternoon. If I have time, I'd like to watch HOLLYWOOD CANTEEN today too so I can put that Warners Homefront Collection up on the shelf and get if off the coffee table. It really should not have taken me so long to get through three movies.

I am getting good advice in the posts today.

Of course Pick Your Battles is good advice that I still follow today, and wish I had many times in the past.

DR GINNY I think it will be very warm in Chicago today.

TOD:

Most advantageous advice I ever got was from my real estate agent when I bought my house. He suggested that if I could afford it, go for a 15-year mortgage instead of a 30-year one. Best advice I ever got since I paid off my house before I retired and was able to squirrel away money that would have gone toward the mortgage and use it to make retirement much more comfortable.

bk · « **Reply #47 on:** July 13, 2009, 08:25:20 AM »

One of my favorite bits of advice I give is that there are two ways to approach a problem - positively and negatively - the former will at least address the problem and make you see various solutions or, at the very least, at least SEE the problem. The latter gets you nothing. In fact, as hard as it is sometimes, I vote for no negativity ever.

TOD: Best advice? It would probably have to be Ricky Nelson in "Garden Party" when he told me that I can't please everyone, so I've got to please myself.
Seriously-- I'll have to think about this one.

Good Morning!

I am up and I am home today. I have spent most of yesterday and today in either the bedroom or the bathroom. I missed seeing George's production yesterday, which is what I get for waiting until the last performance.

My sincere apologies, George. I was truly looking forward to seeing the production and to, finally, seeing you onstage.
