A
APPALOOSA comes on HBO-HD tonight, and I'm still deciding whether I want to watch it or not. I like the cast; I'll have to see how long it is. If it's an epic-length western, I'm not sure I'd have the patience for it.

Appaloosa is the only film I actually went to a movie theatre and paid money to see last year.  I loved it.  Also watched it on a plane.  It's standard length.

I saw the cast and I like them, and I saw the length which certainly seemed acceptable, so I did set the DVR to record it. I'll likely  watch it later tonight or some of it tomorrow. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks to DRs ELmore, FJL, and others I've omitted for the kind words. Much appreciated.

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.

Both cases were interesting, and I always enjoy seeing Lee Tergesen guest starring in any show. (Peter Jacobson is not such a welcome guest star. And is there something in his contracts that he always gets matched up with babes twenty years younger than he is?)

I watched another MURDER SHE WROTE episode. In this one Jessica appears on a famous chef's TV program (chef played by John Saxon) and he's later murdered. Good mystery with a surprise killer that I didn't guess.

Got a big ol' surprise from Time-Warner cable yesterday: they have added LOGO (the gay network) to our regular digital tier of channels. I couldn't have been more surprised.

When I was the Paramount reviewer, I got many of their series and specials to review since it's a subsidiary of Paramount. But since I've been transferred out of that spot, I wondererd if I'd get to see some of these programs on the network. Now, I'll be able to keep up with the programming on the channel that I'd be interested in. I'm so happy about that.

FJL's doing great - now how about the rest of you.  Don't sit on your collective ASSES - be brilliant!  I want something with iPod, laptops, iPhones, trendy restaurants and foods and people - Lindsay Lohan would be fun, Brittney, Paris Hilton, botox, collagen, plastic surgery, Meg Ryan's lips, Julia Roberts' lips, Robert Downey and jail and drugs, Johnny Depp.

Back from the long jog, which was long.  It's gonna be another hot day here in the City of Studio.  I must now leave, but before I do, here's a fun something to do today - and it will be very helpful to me:

In the Kevin and Linda show, we're doing You're The Top - first with a lot of the fun original lyrics, but then we're doing a section of what it would be like if Cole Porter had to write the lyric today - so, here's one possible line:

You're the top,
You're an iPod mini

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.  Facebook, YouTube, hybrid cars, trendy foods, trendy people like Obama (rhymes with drama, so that should be easy), Martha Stewart, anything happening and now - restaurants, artists, singers, actors, writers, trinkets, gadgets, gamebox, Playstation 3, all of it.  To it and have FUN!

This probably doesn't count as a "real" rhyme, but here's my contribution:

You're the top,
You're a mini iPod
You're the top,
Only dress in IZOD

;)

I've been very ambitious today, and I hope it will not not cause me a bad day tomorrow. I just finished the laundry and i'm all caught up on my proofreading for Life Begins At 8:40.

DR Matt H, Peter Jacobson lives somewhere near me.  I see him occasionally at Artie's. He plays obnoxious folk very well, but he seems pleasant enough whenever I run across him.

I also spoke to my beautiful goddaughter Charlotte. We've made a tentative date to see the new Harry Potter film on Wednesday night.

Sorry, BK, I am usually pretty good with this, but today I seem out of touch, and rather weird.

I rhymed "LuPone's new photo"
To "Filet of Toto"

"Mel Gisbson's jailin'"
"To Sarah Palin"

"The Yankee's Jeeter"
"The lastest Tweeter"



See, I am just not in the right mood.

Well, my (very anal retentive) concern is that true rhymes are supposed to be rhymed on the accented syllable and EYE (of ipod or IZOD) is the accented syllable.  It really should be something like "my pod" to officially rhyme with "ipod."
