Next I watched last week's episode of THE OFFICE. Some pretty funny stuff, and some pretty typical Michael stuff which didn't play as funny as they thought it was.

DR Jose is a star in the DC area!

Yup.  I had the good luck to have lunch with him at a fantastic restaurant.  I'm sure he will remember the name and location.  I just remember he picked me up at the Library of Congress.

The fantastic restaurant in question is Zaytinya in DC's Penn Quarter.  It's part of Jose Andres' Think Food Group mini-empire.

I had dinner there with John Kalbfleisch!

And Richard and I had a delightful lunch there after the American Library Association conference in 2007!

I concluded my evening watching Friday's night's MONK episode. It was OK entertainment, but the mystery plots have really become threadbare.

Watched an early film from Mr Peter Sellers entitled NEVER LET GO.....starring Richard Todd.  It is a sort of English noir with Sellers as the villain.  Quite entertaining.....with a supporting performance by Adam Faith.

DR Elmore - what about Bed, Bath & Beyond for your comforter?  There's one near Lincoln Center and one in Chelsea.

DR TCB - HAPPY ANNVERSARY is my favorite Mitzi Gaynor performance....she plays a wife and mother - although saddled with David Niven doing his English silly ass schtick - but she is quite natural, sexy, and very funny.

I think the play was a long running Broadway comedy - and in fact it looks like some of the set pieces were used a few years later when United Artists was filming "The Patty Duke Show" - Patty plays the young daughter who spills the beans about her parents' arguments on a television show.....funny stuff.

And Mitzi is great!

Tomorrow, unless something more urgent arrives in the mail, I'll be starting on another TV box set. This will be the Blu-ray edition of SCRUBS -Season 8.

I dropped the show about three years ago, so it'll be fun seeing what changes (if any) have transpired since I've been away from it.

Now I'm going to tidy up a few things on my computer desktop and then head downstairs to bed.

Good night!

And now... I guess it's sort of appropriate that I am going to be a WUSSBURGER and get ready for bed now.  Me sleep already.

Thanks again for a wonderful partay!

Hopefully, there will be some leftover chunks of ham and cheese for my morning omelet.

Goodnight.

OK, I've watched TRAUMA, part 1 of the CSI trilogy, and the Mitzi Gaynor video - oh...my.  I don't think even the local production of COMPANY that I was in 30 years ago was that bad.  Or, maybe, the director had seen the MG version and used it for a model.

No, we really weren't THAT bad.  And our costumes were better.
