For those who don't want to watch the whole Emmy show, HERE is Neil Patrick Harris's opening number.

Thank you for the link, DAW. I am only assuming that was the best part of the show, because it was by Marc Shaiman and Scott Whitman.

I have spent the morning listening to the music of Joseph Schwantner, whose work I'm really enjoying. Someone had stuffed a Fanfare review into the insert booklet in this CD I got, and for the life of me I can't understand how the reviewer, who goes on and on about how much Schwantner sounds like Howard Hanson (which I can kind of--kind of--understand), could fail to hear the quite clear influence of Varese (of Sarabande fame).

Well, damn! In all the rubble accumulated during the bookshelf clutter, I have managed to lose the birthday check I received on Saturday. i knew where it was and now I worry that it got tossed in the cleanup!

I'm not happy at the moment.

The big TV news for those of us who like TV is that the new season begins formally tonight. I have new season premieres of HEROES (two hours) and CASTLE.

Others will have HOUSE (two hours), DANCING WITH THE STARS (two hours), the CBS comedies, and CSI: MIAMI.

And DR Jennifer will have her CW shows.

Except that i can't watch them cause i don't have the CW!

I will watch DWTS and record HEROES.

If it's the one I sent, not to worry, it was rubber anyway.

bk - As DR MattH mentioned, just check your cable's On Demand listings. Additionally, AMC will usually do a halfway-through-the-season catch up day. So, just check your local listings, or even better, AMC's own website.

I decided to go for a bike ride last night at 5pm after my niece left. I didn't get to go on friday or saturday (i've been trying to bike 7 days a week).

So i get to the lake and i brought my camera for the first time all summer. And guess what? There were 500 Jewish people standing right beside the spot where i wanted to take pictures. It was almost unreal.

They must have come from synagogue or something. They were all dressed up. The weird thing is they weren't doing anything. Just standing and talking (there is a place to have bbqs or picnics).

bk - As DRs Ron Pulliam and Miss Karen have already mentioned, "staging" is THE way to sell a house. Well, "they" thinks it's the only way to get a house sold. Personally, I'd rather walk into a new(!) house and see it as NEW: no furniture, neutral paint colors, neutral rugs, etc. Buying a new house with that "already lived in" feeling just doesn't make sense to me.

DAW · « **Reply #135 on:** September 21, 2009, 10:01:10 AM »

DR Jennifer - they were probably celebrating Taschlich - where you metaphorically "throw the sins on the water" in preparation for Yom Kippur.

So...

When I left the apartment yesterday afternoon, I headed down to Chinatown to meet up with my friend, Allen, to grab some lunch. Alas, since the San Gennaro Festival was in full swing, the sidewalks and streets were WAY too crowded, so after we picked up a banh mi at the jewelry store, and some fresh tofu "pudding", we headed back uptown. We met up with another friend, Julie, at a dog park on the East Side in Tudor City - just above the U.N. -And her dog, Edison, was also there - along with a lot of other cute canines.

I then met up with some other friends, and we headed out to Coney Island for a walk on the boardwalk, some Russian food, some beer, and then an incredible Azerbaijani meal. -Which was also incredibly cheap: two appetizers, three entrees and drinks all for under $50!

So, by the time I got home around midnight, I was just a bit too tired to post or to do anything for that matter. Then about nine hours later, I woke up.

*So, I guess I missed the Emmy's.

Thanks for posting the youtube link to NPH's opening number, it was swell!

I did not watch the Emmy's last night as I got busy doing some other things.

"other things" - Is that a euphemism?

I've bought three houses - none of them "staged" - and I completely agree with you - I want to see it sans anything - I have imagination, and that's the fun of it, frankly.

I've jogged and I've done my morning errand and came home to find this wonderful review from our very own DAW on amazon:

DR elmore - Is it possible that your birthday check fell in between your bed and some boxes? -Like those scores did the other week.

DAW wrote to tell me he made a little typo but can't find the way to correct it - I know there's an edit button somewhere - can one of our amazon experts tell him how to find it?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #146 on:** September 21, 2009, 10:25:34 AM »

If he goes to SEE ALL MY REVIEWS, he can edit.

How fast can I read it?

My review is already posted on Amazon.

Thanks, JRand59!!!! I just figured it out on my own, but now must wait 24 hours for the errant "e" to appear.

I find it quite ironic that a proofer committed a typo.
