*have any other DRs read this book? This is one of our 'make' items at Borders, which means we MUST suggest it to every customer. . .I've only read two other books by Lehane - SHUTTER ISLAND, which I liked, and MYSTIC RIVER, which I did not.

I haven't read it. The last time you mentioned a book the store was pushing I ended up buying the book. On Tuesday my book group is meeting here to discuss the book, HOTEL ON THE CORNER OF BITTER & SWEET. Tonight I'll begin reading it again. I hope I like it just as much, or more, the second time around.

Finished watching the Mercer documentary. It's a shame that edisaurus was shoved out, because it's very clear that the director is an idiot. The narration is not good, and Bill Charlap was a bad choice to read it (and then having him list his credits during the credit roll!). The Clint stuff is embarrassing - he comes off as a doddering twit with John Williams. His daughter, while very cute and I'm sure a very nice person, had no business opening her mouth on this program - her daddy ought to be ashamed. And I thought that about several of the performers. The show made little structural sense, which, for me, is key in everything. However, wonderful songs and clips, even if Li'l Abner was given short shrift. With some of the no-talent in the show it's a shame they couldn't at least have gotten Guy Haines to sing one of his Abner songs.

Edisaurus did manage to get me and all of you (HHW) in the end credits, which was very sweet. A missed opportunity, this show.

A propos the Mercer documentary. . .It didn't even dawn on me until long after the show was over why Julie Andrews was being interviewed. Of course, when I put in the LaMott disc, that big light bulb went off over my head as "Whistling Away The Dark" began to play. . .

Good morning, all! The cold and the godawful gunk inside my sinuses refuse to depart willingly. I really am not happy about this at all.

DR Ben, I am not heading far today; first up, the McGlinnventory, which is currently happening on Thursdays and Fridays because of the paralegal's problems with baby sitters, followed by a trip to Music Theatre International to drop off the second proof of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA, Act one. It looks great! Then it's right up to physical therapy and when I get back here, laundry, which is badly needed. Are you two around this weekend? I've got three more cassettes I would like to turn over to Anthony. While I have the money, I can even pay him in advance for them.

My LoC check finaly arrived yesterday and so I am very happy for the nonce.

TOD:
DVD: Those Netflix items still sit here; I know one is SADIE MCKEE
CD: Guy Haines, Liz Callaway, Edvard Grieg, Jacques Offenbach, Mendelssohn
VCR: smut

Great news, Lar!

DR Jane- HOTEL ON THE CORNER OF BITTER & SWEET was a wonderful read! Even Mum read that and enjoyed it!
We were pushing THE BIG BURN last month, which I sold more copies of than anyone else, probably because I actually had read it and enjoyed it. Plus it was a good tie-in to THE NATIONAL PARKS mini series.
From what I've been told, if you're a fan of Matthew Pearl (THE DANTE CLUB, THE POE SHADOW, THE LAST DICKENS), which I am, then THE GIVEN DAY is an excellent choice of reading material. As I've said, I run hot and cold on Dennis Lehane, but, I'm going to give this one a fair trail.

Jane · « **Reply #157 on:** November 06, 2009, 06:18:38 PM »

Hmm, THE BIG BURN has a catchy title. I absolutely had to read HOTEL ON THE CORNER OF BITTER AND SWEET for the title alone. THE GIVEN DAY doesn't do it for me

I got back from the McGlinnvntory with no voice -I'msure the cold is aggravated by all of the dust and crap in those boxes - abd I have cancelled physical therapy. As soon as the laundry is finished, and the floors are vacuumed, i am going to bed and staying there as long as possible.

Do you think you might want to come over on Sunday for your CDs? We are free and if you're feeling up to it we would love to visit with you. I don't think you've seen Anthony since he came back from Wisconsin in May.

That might be fun!

Good! We can talk or e-mail on Saturday and make final plans.

I plan to spend most of tomorrow in bed, if I can.

Bragging or complaining?

This morning I finished reading a book I picked up when the title caught my eye. SHATTERED SILENCE is the memoir of a woman who is the daughter of a serial killer. I'm glad the title caught my eye.

Thanks everyone for the condolences. I haven't been able to see my friends yet and the funeral is tomorrow in a town about an hour from here. I didn't know her or her immediate family, so I'll wait until Sunday to see my friends. Here's a linkhttp://www.siouxcityjournal.com/news/state-and-regional/obituaries/article_46a499b6-f657-5c36-a733-c8c6d46d631e.html to her obit. There's a photo. She had 3 little girls. very sad

DR Cilla, I'm very, very sorry to hear about your friend's cousin. I hope information will become available that might help others understand which symptoms are a warning to seek medical care in time.

When I was at the Halloween party last Saturday, they said she had flu symptoms and that her temperature spiked and hit 105.5. At that time she was at the hospital and they had her wrapped in ice to try to get the fever down. I hadn't heard any more until yesterday and I got the news from Paul. He didn't knwo any more details.

Well, I've gone Apple keyboard at least.

I'm certain that due to BK's and Jose's influence, you'll complete your journey to being full-fledged Apple in no time.

Ain't gonna happen.

Ever.

Why? I once said "ever" and here I am, eating my words as well as having just eaten some pasta papa.

For internet surfing and word processing, my PC serves me admirably. I can do everything with my computer that I want to do with ease and swiftness. I see no reason to switch.

I've always assumed that the jumps in skating are like the jumps in ballet and other types of dancing. Like how each person is either right or left handed, they jump either clock-wise or counterclock-wise. It's all personal preference...I assume.

Exactly right. The direction in which a person spins or jumps is completely of his own choosing. And there have been skaters who jumped in one direction and did their on-ice spins in another direction.

Usually I get Kritzerland CDs in the mail on the same day when everyone else receives his, but not today. I did not get the Brent CD today.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching NORTH BY NORTHWEST. I did quite get finished with it only getting to chapter 38, so I'll start there tomorrow and finish it.

The picture quality was just terrific, but I was very impressed with how solid the sound was. Herrmann's score has never sounded better or been more involving for the viewer.

In the meantime - and this is a SERIOUS question on which I need your help, you TV experts:
Ho
Let's say of young actors working in TV today you had to choose one to play Adriana Hofstetter - who would you choose. I realize that several of you haven't read the books, but you can certainly read the synopsis of each at the Kritzerland site (under "Fun") and see the type of fifteen-year-old girl we're talking about. I need someone who has some sort of name value but that someone doesn't necessarily have to be a big star - folks like Dakota Fanning won't do TV, so give me people who are on series or cable or whatever. I just don't watch shows. I look forward to your suggestions.

how about Jennette McCurdy?

Matt H. · « **Reply #174 on:** November 06, 2009, 07:35:06 PM »

Since there is now such a plethora of shows on Friday nights to watch, I had to watch both shows tonight "live." I began with GHOST WHISPERER. A pretty good story but didn't bring me to tears. I always like the show best when it can touch me deeply. It hasn't been doing that much lately.

Matt H. · « **Reply #175 on:** November 06, 2009, 07:38:31 PM »

I did enjoy MEDIUM very much tonight. I pretty much suspected the the guilty party after the explosion.

And once again, Duvalos doubted Allison's story from the get-go. This makes me madder than anything else in the show. After all these years, they should jump the SECOND she has information to offer.

Nice seeing Faith Prince in a guest star role.

How about Sofia (oldest daughter Ariel) for Adriana?

Edi - thanks for letting me know the other show dates I will try and catch it then

we are apparently the only house in the known universae without a TIVO or for that matter a working VCR

I should probably hang around JMK or MattH's house and wait for one of them to throw out their old stuff
