Does this take us to page two?

Matt H. · « **Reply #31 on:** February 08, 2010, 06:47:44 AM »

It does!

Page Two Dance!!!

Obviously, with February sweeps now in force, every show is putting out new episodes tonight which includes for me a new CASTLE and DAMAGES.

CHUCK is on the bubble for me. Tonight may be make or break night for sticking with it (though I do like Brandon Routh as Shaw, and he is back tonight.)

HEROES is having its season finale tonight. Of course, I stopped watching the show earlier this year, so this has no impact in my viewing tonight.

Good morning. More community service today.

What were you arrested for? Jaywalking?

Heading down now to get cleaned up for lunch out today with best friend John.

RADNELAC - a new prescription laxative

This reminds me of a fascinating little bit o'trivia my brother in law shared with me. He is a former VP of both Glaxo and Pfizer and he now runs his own business (in NC, Matt) helping pharmaceutical companies market their drugs to doctors. We asked him about the crazy names most new drugs have, thinking that they had big staffs appointed to come up with said names. I have always said I'd love to have that job. Mark told us it's actually more chaotic, typically a group of people that just toss around ideas, which then need to be cleared by the FDA to make sure the new name isn't too similar to any other drugs on the market.

Olumert -- a Norwegian dish noted for its absence of herring.

It's raining outside and sweeping up more mold and pollen to breathe. The shot seems to have helped a little but there have been two bizarre, sleepless nights. Even reading a John McPhee geology book didn't put me to sleep. Wonder if a dose of Radnelac would help.

Sad to hear about John Dankworth passing. Didn't know that he had written the theme song to "The Avengers," which remains one of my favorite TV shows.

More E&T-ness today due to tax season, but I did want to say hello.

No valid tax excuses for yesterday (Sunday); got great aisle seats for HIDDEN SKY (at Prospect, where DR Julie is on the board of directors, and she was in the audience as well), and then Julie and I went to see FANNY at Encores. A great doubleheader, but I'll have to make up for that mini-vacation today.

Jose - I'm also very eagerly awaiting your list of songs that the young performers are auditioning with

I still like CHUCK a lot. But i agree with you about HEROES. This used to be one of my favorite shows. But now it is so average. I've kept with it, but i find myself fast forwarding since i am just not interested. I'm glad it's the finale. Hopefully it will be a good one.

Jennifer · « **Reply #41 on:** February 08, 2010, 08:21:58 AM »

I guess CHUCK will be on hiatus for a bit after tonight's show too.

And after all of that - they still came up with ASS-EFFEX?

DR JOSE - did the Canadian cowboy have ulterior motives?

Did anyone sing Ciribiribin yet? I am still waiting for that brave person to show up for you.

Lots of folks out shopping this morning. I am always surprised at the number of mothers with one child in the cart, one walking beside her, and one on her back or front in some kind of carrier. And they are not triplets.

And the woman behind me in line had some kind of little bulldog or terrier which I can assume was a service dog, but I never saw that breed used as such, and she wasn't blind....so I don't know...but he was making short work of the candy on the bottom shelf and licked Brad Pitt on the front of the Enquirer.

My guess is it's your hot water heater.

bk · « **Reply #49 on:** February 08, 2010, 09:29:51 AM »

It is indeed the water heater - they say the pilot light must be out - they're coming to light it at some point. How annoying.

Apparently there some sort of game yesterday, and I gather that one team won, and the other team lost. And they said I knew nothing about sports!

FJL · « **Reply #51 on:** February 08, 2010, 09:39:25 AM »

Someone at FANNY said there was something going on about bowling or something like that.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #52 on:** February 08, 2010, 09:48:23 AM »

FANNY.....I just like saying it.

How was FANNY? Did you like FANNY? Were there many people at FANNY? Did you applaud FANNY?

I do not like my pilot to be lit.

John G. · « **Reply #54 on:** February 08, 2010, 09:52:58 AM »

Yes, how was FANNY?
And there was a game, at least I think so. There seemed to be some noise yesterday going on behind the various pork products, duck, lamb, chicken enchiladas and desserts -- not to mention wine bottles -- all piled high.

I was just checking out the tv schedule for the Olympics (starting this friday). Unbelievably CTV (the canadian channel that has the olympics) will be moving ALL their regular programming onto their sister station (which i don't get) for 2 weeks. They will be having almost round the clock olympic coverage.

Plus there are 2 other sports channels that will also have tons of coverage. I see NBC has very selective coverage mostly with an afternoon and evening schedule. I wonder if they will show a lot of stuff live (which is the big thing here).

Yesterday Craig spent close to 1 1/2 hours searching for a shovel, and another 3 1/2-4 hours shoveling his car out of the snow, only to find his place of work is closed today.

I have a presentation for the MacArthur Foundation at 2:30 this afternoon. I am in prep mode.

Jennifer · « **Reply #58 on:** February 08, 2010, 09:58:12 AM »

I guess I will have to start switching my regular programs from CTV to the US counterpart. I think almost every show i watch I will be able to get. Although i don't get the CW. So hopefully any of their shows that CTV has (like the VAMPIRE DIARIES) will be on hiatus for 2 weeks.

One big show that CTV will miss is the premiere of TAR!

Ben · « **Reply #59 on:** February 08, 2010, 09:59:08 AM »

Unfortunately I was unable to see Fanny (my late Grandmother's name). I have the OCR but that's all I know of the show. Based on talk it sounds like I missed something special.
