We've made our daily visit to the hospital (no change for John) and met up there with our DS Rob. We had a nice dinner with him at Red Lobster and now we're in for the evening.

So, come up with your version of today's You're The Top lyrics - so much to choose from - rhyming is the hard thing and no cheating in terms of scan - it must fit exactly and the emphasis on words can't be off.

You’re the tops
You’re a secret Santa
You’re sparkling sweet
Like a drink of Fanta

You’re the tops
You’re nice and kinky
You’re lush and sweet
You’re a deep-fried Twinkie

You’re the tops,
You’re an Octo-momma
I like the movie clips,
With kids in Cinerama

You’re the tops
You’re the Princess Di
You’re the dessert
You’re a key lime pie

You’re the tops
You rhyme like Adoph Comden
You’re the tops
Like a hit of OxyContin

You’re the tops
You’re a queen in drag
You’re the tops,
With your Prada bag

(I didn't cheat anymore than Porter did!)

Now, back to my day job.

I watched ROYAL PAINS while I ate lunch. I have really, REALLY tired of the Evan character. Is it the writers' objective to make him as irritating and objectionable as possible? I understand he masks his inferiority complex with ego-driven mania, but it is SUCH a turn-off. He has NO social graces at all and never knows WHEN to shut up or to know his place. I REALLY cannot stand the show when he's taking it over.

It would work better if the writers had Evan get egg on his face a few times.

That's all I got right now.

Mediocre at best, but perhaps a talented person can improve.

DR MATTH - my vacation coincides with the run of LA MANCHA....so I just have to think about one thing...and my sister Molly who is coming in from Seattle on August 11 for a couple of weeks!

That's great! I know when I was working, it was very hard doing shows, and I was always happy when one would fall during spring break or summer or Christmas vacation.

Thank you, DR TCB, and best wishes back at 'cha.

I started my evening with two MURDER SHE WROTE episodes.

The first had Jessica and her newest millionaire friend Loretta Swit handling a murder.

Let's talk a minute about what Loretta Swit has done to HER face: as horrifying and as modifying as the jobs done to Cher, Lisa Renna, Carol Burnett, and others. Grotesque.

Matt H. · « **Reply #139 on:** August 01, 2009, 08:20:53 PM »

And coincidentally, the second MURDER SHE WROTE I watched featured Wayne Rogers as the primary guest star!

Next came the next Lex Barker Tarzan in the order he made them: TARZAN'S PERIL. Featured in this is his third different actress playing Jane (and the worst yet). I remembered this one well from my childhood because of the phrase that gets repeated over and over during the movie: "Radecek escape." Criminal mastermind Radecek is played by George Macready. And guess who plays the new queen of a jungle tribe? Dorothy Dandridge!

Matt H. · « **Reply #141 on:** August 01, 2009, 08:28:25 PM »

And then I watched APPALOOSA. I did enjoy it. Renee Zellweger plays a pretty dislikable character, but the male bonding between Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen is beautiful to see. I LOVED their easy relationship with each other. And Viggo's explanation to Renee that they were both with Harris and that's why nothing would ever develop between them was a touch of genius. First time I've ever heard it put that way in a western, especially with a straight man talking about his love/friendship/faithfulness for another straight man. Really terrific and unique explanation.

Fingers crossed for another decent night of sleep. I'm heading downstairs now to see what happens.

Good night!

Thanks for the vibes Elmoore

But today was not a good day.

I had a very difficult time sleeping last night. Tried without the collar, but I needed it. I eventually fell asleep and when I woke I was in more pain as if the adjustment didn't work. Luckily my doctor works on Saturdays and I went to see. Then I came home and had a light lunch. I tried to do some work on the play, but I was just too tired and I lay down and slept for several hours.

I woke and decided to fulfill by obligations for the evening. I made short stays at each place. It was hot and it made the collar uncomfortable. Came home and did some work on the pay and now I'm ready to go to bed.

I hope everyone else's day was better.

VIBES TO ALL THAT NEED THEM!!!!!

Just finished watching the 1973 musical Lost Horizon for the first time. Some of the numbers were certainly cringe-worthy, but overall it was campy fun.

Where did you or how did you watch it? TV? Video? Laser Disc?

I saw LOST HORIZON on a big, big screen when it first came out.

Good Evening!

I'm back from spending a couple of hours out and about an Richmond. I did my usual walk up and down Carytown - including a stop into "For the Love of the Chocolate". I didn't buy any chocolate this time, but I did pick out a selection of some of their "gummi" selections.

Then I headed on over to Dogwood Dell to catch a presentation of A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum. It was nice being back at the Dell again, although, the last time I was there, I was actually conducting Jekyll & Hyde. I ran into some old friends, and even some of my former neighbors. It was great seeing them again, and they brought back some wonderful memories of one of my former landlords, Mrs. Lane. What a true Lady. Sadly, she passed away two years ago, but she lived a very full and sprightly 105 years!

And the weather could not have been nice for a show in the great outdoors tonight. Not too warm, and there was a nice breeze blowing throughout the evening. Best of all, no bug bites!
