I believe I've determined definitively that one cannot live on Crunchberries alone.

HAPPY NATAL DAY DR MBARNUM!

Good morning, all! I have several things to accomplish today: the first is to finish up the Main Report revisions, organize them and take them to Toyland. After that, I have a band rehearsal for Brent Barrett's show at Birdland this weekend. Then, I come home and chill out. I also have to deal with a bad electric connection that's giving me computer grief.

DR singdaw, I had the Mozart Christmas album, but I cannot locate it this morning. I've had it for over 10 years, and it looks as if they've gven it a brand spanking new cover. The old one was red, as I recall.

First, breakfast.

the Mozart Christmas album

It appears this may be the Hampton Quartet arrangements, re-recorded with a larger string orchestra. Perhaps.

They are distant cousins. In fact, anybody with the last name of Druxman, Druxerman or Druxinman are "closely" related.

They (we) are all descendants of three brothers who came to N. America from Russia during the late 1800s. One wound up in Canada, another in NY and the third (my grandfather) in Washington State. None of the brothers ever saw each other again, but in 1999 all three branches of the family got together for a weekend reunion in Vancouver, B.C.

Actually, there was a 4th brother who wound up in Argentina, but nobody has heard from that side of the family since the late 1930s.

I suppose I should know who/what Arthur is.

Unless you mean the Dudley Moore film.

No, it's just a show that DR Sandra and I enjoy very much. It's about Arthur Read (an anthropomorphic 8 year old aardvark) and his family. He represents the average American 3rd grader. He has two sisters, a mother, a father and one maternal grandparent and one paternal grandparent. He also has a dog and a best friend, Buster, a rabbit who likes to eat.

Arthur

The show is on PBS Kids (one of the digital channels on non-cable television) at 7am and 7pm every day. Now that I'm on vacation I can indulge and watch Arthur.

My niece loves Arthur. Although she actually prefers his little sister D.W.

I've watched it quite a bit with her. And taken out countless Arthur books from the library!

From a prominent blog:

The horrible shrieking noise that startled most of Manhattan last night was the sound of tens of thousands of gay men when Time-Warner Cable's Fox signal f*****g froze during the last fifteen minutes of the season finale of GLEE.

DR Cillaliz it sounds like we had about the same amount of snow (you said 10 inches, we had 25 cms). I think they were happy we didn't get more (it was supposed to be 35cms).

The problem here is snow removal. Not for the highways, or even for where i live (west of montreal). But for everywhere where there is parking on the streets. It becomes a complete disaster and takes at least 4 days to clear.

Oh and when i went to the grocery store i looked for ready to bake cookies. They had some Pilsbury ones.

I had truly never seen them before.

TOD: I took my mother's sewing machine to the UPS Store to have it shipped to my sister. They packed it up so it would arrive safely and charged me $99. My sister said it arrived damaged.

re: last night's SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE eliminations

Dialidol actually had the results right on. They knew the bottom 2 for both the girls and guys. So i was somewhat prepared. I will say i was happy that they saved ashleigh. But i was really unhappy with the girl they sent home. Especially considering how amazing she was the night before. I was
really not happy. I wonder if kathryn is now so popular because of the
judges pimping her. Or my sis thinks that she just looked so similar to noelle that now that noelle is gone she doesn't look like anyone else. It's weird that ellenore was so popular and now she was in the bottom. As for
the guys, as long as jakob was safe i didn't care. For some reason russell is the most popular. I think he is sweet. But i much prefer jakob. i really wanted to see ryan dance with his wife. I'm not crazy about him, but i really disliked legacy. So i am totally fine with him leaving. But i would have much rather had ellenore leave than mollee. I get why she might irk some fans. But she was so good during the performances this week. The first number she did with jakob was my favorite number of the night. I feel so bad that she had to go after such an incredible performance.

Good morning!

Beautiful day out after 1 1/2 inches of rain this week. I really enjoyed my walk this morning, and I didn't even need a jacket with my sweatshirt. However, temps are supposed to be falling, so I doubt it'll get much warmer today than it is right now.

Matt H. · « **Reply #54 on:** December 10, 2009, 06:29:13 AM »

I'll be continuing on with more Mel Brooks today. HIGH ANXIETY will be first on the agenda this afternoon when I get in from lunch. TOnight will be HISTORY OF THE WORLD PART 1. I'm not sure about the bonus content on either disc.

I was livid with the post office yesterday myself: NO MAIL! AT ALL!

I am expecting quite a few Amazon deliveries which have shipped, and I just found it hard to believe that none of them had gotten here yesterday. Maybe today I'll have a porch full of boxes.

I will try to watch MODERN FAMILY before I head out to lunch today. SInce it's only a half hour show, I should be able to fit it in. At least, that's the plan.

Lots of new TV on tonight. CBS, NBC, Fox all have new programming tonight. (Which means, for me, a new BONES, MENTALIST, OFFICE/30 ROCK).

ABC and the CW both are serving up reruns tonight.
