Perhaps after DR MBarnum has exhausted the Bollywood genre, he can explore THIS!!!    :D   :D

I have a feeling the score came from Alfred Music.

The really frightening thing is I saw virtually the same routine on The Brady Bunch Variety Hour.

Congrats to DR Jose on his super impressive milestone, and to DR George for doing such a super job memorializing these things for us.

My pleasure.  But I'm not the only one who does this...I'm just the most anal-retentive about it.

For all you library (and former) workers...Editor & Publisher closing after 108 years:

Quote
Along with Editor & Publisher, Nielsen is also shuttering the book review title Kirkus Reviews. The two publications have 18 employees combined. Nielsen would not reveal details about the financial performance of E&P or Kirkus.

What is this world coming to??

I remember that cheerleaders in my high school used to wear their uniforms on Game Days.

I also remember reading an article on GLEE specifically that said at first they were dressing the cheerleaders as well - but to make it easier on the costumers AND the budget and to help indentify the characters, the Cheerios would always wear their uniforms.

My long day is over and it's been quite a day: I had several jobs to finish up here before I could go out and around 11:15 I headed down to Toyland. I talked to Joshie who's been working on Kate Baldwin's show at Feinstein's this weekend, and while I was talking to him, I thought of a solution to one of the charts for Brent's rehearsal. When I got to Toyland, I took care of all the Main Report problems and sat at my desk and wrote a new clarinet part for "O Holy Night." On the recording, it's a cello part, and we have no cello for this performance so I've been rewrting some bass parts to accommodate some of the cello lines. Since there's no reed on "O Holy Night," I had a clarinet that could easily take over the cello's lines and the bass could go back to his recording part. When I finished it, I packed it up with the other recording materials and headed to the band rehearsal, which began at 2.

I think the Birdland shows will be wonderful; we have an excellent band and I orchestrated a new number last night to close the show. Brent will be singing as well a comedy number and all the songs on "Christmas Mornings."
I'm getting quite excited about it.

Too bad you couldn't film it for DVD release on Kritzerland, either.  That would've been great!

Well, the day is finally at an end.  My Lord, what a day.  Cason came here at ten and by the time we were through packaging, doing the big packages, filling out more forms and getting postage on the big packages, and then lugging all of it to the post office it was one-thirty.  I then took Paramount their copies, and then the best part of the day occurred - we stopped at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles on Gower, one of LA's great eateries.  Last time I was there was with the Wechters and that must be seven or eight years ago.  Well, two years ago they expanded and instead of their teeny-tiny hole-in-the-wall digs, they now have a second spacious dining room and plenty of places for hungry diners to sit.  We got there at two, got right in, and Cason ordered the half fried chicken and two waffles, more food than I have ever seen - a huge leg, huge breast, huge thigh, and huge wing plus the two huge waffles.  He ate about two-thirds of the waffles, and all the chicken except for the breast, which he took home.  I had the Carol C. special - one breast, one waffle.  Then we each ordered one biscuit and we split a very small side of potato salad - I only had two little bites of the latter.  The chicken breast was HUGE, but I ate all of it and all the waffle and I'm now really full, but boy was it incredible.  More in the notes.  Then I came home, picked up mail, went to the bank, and that was that.

New episodes of COMMUNITY and PARKS & RECREATION to suffer through.

I have been watching some DVD's sent to me by the birthday boy hisseff DR MBARNUM.  I have now seen PROMISES PROMISES, the movie starring Miss Jayne Mansfield and Mr Tommy Noonan....I am not sure where this picture played in 1963, but Miss JM (not Joan Marshall) appeared in half a dozen topless scenes.

After my appointment and errands, I came home and changed into winter clothes--jeans, cotton turtleneck, wool sweater, and socks--then turned on the space heater in my room (borrowed from another roommate who is out of town). I'd consider longjohns, except mine are, of course, in storage, as I didn't expect to need them in LA.

My other roommate, the owner, not only does not want to turn the heat on very often, when she does the thermostat is at 58. She also opens many windows at 9 or 10 am. I like fresh air, but this is ridiculous!

Anthony is looking at new cameras and will probably get a Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS. It's easy to use and the picture quality is very good (for a point and shoot). The two things he doesn't like is the power source is a rechargeable lithium battery and it doesn't come with a memory card, you have to buy one along with the camera (it does come with a battery charger though). The Canon PowerShot A1000 IS uses AA batteries (supplied with the camera) and comes with a 32mb memory card (ahh, the days when 32 megabytes was considered huge) so at least you can take some pictures right out of the box.


Yes, I used to tell me people that I was a 32 megabyte memory card, just to get dates.

We are back from a very touching memorial service for our neighbor, Mrs. Rehse, who died Saturday at age 89. 

On the way home, Richard and I did a graduation/Christmas errand and picked up Chinese food for dinner.  DS Rob is still working on his last undergraduate paper, which he will submit electronically before he goes to bed.

This defensive driving online course I'm taking to get a discount on my car insurance rates is really very interesting.  The course time is 6 hours, and they won't let you advance to the next screen until what they have determined is an "appropriate" amount of time has passed.  There is a tick-down clock that lets you know, but it is still frustrating if you're a quick reader. 

And then there are various devices to make sure that you're paying attention.  If you don't advance to the next page within a certain acceptable time frame, it logs you out.  In addition, there are various "pop quizzes" that flash up on the screen that you have to answer within a certain number of seconds to verify that you're who you say you are.  At other times, it flashes on the screen that you have to call a toll free number within a certain number of seconds and do a voice-print verification.

Does it allow time to pause and post on HHW or did you get logged out? ;)
