RE: tuesday's episode of LOST.

I wonder if men loved the episode more than women. I liked it but found the beginning parts slow for me. I loved the island stuff though.

I know some women who really loved the episode (too). -Maybe it's a Canadian thing?

LA's live-action porn-palace* bites the dust

Fairfax Theater closes indefinitely

The venerable Fairfax Theater, which opened its doors in 1930, will close indefinitely after suffering major damage during the recent rainstorms.

Regency Theaters, which operates the theater, said Wednesday that it has asked the property owner to terminate its lease.

The rain damage was so extensive that it would not be economically feasible to reopen the landmark theater at Beverly Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue, Regency said in a statement.

In recent years, the theater has battled against competition from neighboring theaters and problems with area parking.

The property owner, Alex Gorby, has proposed a mixed-use retail and residential project for the site. The project would preserve the theater's historic Art Deco facade, according to the statement.

* It was raided by Vice for doing a production of "Oh, Calcutta!"

How sad it is now known as a porn theater.

Um... DR Jane - Not really. -In fact, that's where I saw "Broadway: The Golden Age" during the run of What If?. It was playing indie and foreign films.

I just read the results of the men's figure skating finals.

[spoiler]

No big surprises with the top three, pretty much as I had predicted. The best news was that due to the 5th and 6th place placements of the US's Jeremy Abbott and Adam Rippon (an alternate for the world team - finished 5th at our national championships), the USA will get to have three men's skaters at the worlds next year! That makes me REALLY happy, and I'm really thrilled for Adam who is truly a rising star in the US.

Now, if our two ladies can do equally as well in the next two days, we'll get to have three representatives on the ladies' side next year, too.

Btw... It's a "Slanket". A "Splanket" sounds like a combination breakfast food and torture device.

I see that SHowtime has renewed both NURSE JACKIE and THE UNITED STATES OF TARA for another season on the basis of their excellent season premiere ratings. I really enjoyed NURSE JACKIE's premiere.

I don't know how many DRs watch the Bravo "reality" programs, but tacky kept woman Kim Zolciak (on the left) of the REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA (wife? she's a mistress!), who can't carry a tonal pitch to save her life, turns out to be a lesbian. She's far too tacky and untalented to be a lesbian. I think it's an attempt to extend her 15 minutes of dubious fame.

To quote DR MattH - So very tiresome.

I finished Agatha Christie's "Three Blind Mice" last night. Yep, the murderer was exactly who idiot Manny Farber said it was in his think piece though, as usual with Dame Agatha, there were also other surprises in store which were delightful.

I'm not ready to start reading THE MOUSETRAP, the play version of the story, but I'll likely start on it next week at some point.

Guess I'll head down to bed now and skim through the manual to the Blu-ray player I installed today. I pretty much got the feel for it tonight while watching all those episodes of THE CLOSER, but I may have missed a few features, so I'll look through the manual to see if there's anything else I need to check out tomorrow.

Had a root canal procedure this morning from 8-10 a.m.

Things here at work have been hectic, hectic, hectic.

Tomorrow is our big "do" for my boss' retirement....a catered luncheon for which I''m emceeing.

I'm looking forward to the meal.

DR Ron Pulliam - Well, I guess your root canal procedure went well and without too much pain and hassle. I hope you can fully enjoy the meal tomorrow.

Why watch a Blu and Ray, would you could be posting and posting?

My Sony Vaio arrived today and it is quite spiffy. The only problem (besides Vista) - is that my internet cable will not fit the internet opening on the computer.....

Are there different sizes of these cables. The slot is definitely smaller, I have tried both ends....tried different cables.....not sure what's up.....

Jrand74 · « **Reply #167 on:** March 25, 2010, 08:29:55 PM »

Wireless mouse and keyboard.....and I will probably take it to my friendly computer store and have it switched from Vista back to WINDOWS XP, which I have used for a long time and which I really like....but I don't want to do that until I have tried the inner web with VISTA....

For dinner earlier tonight, I headed out to Sripraphai with my friend, Eric. Sripraphai is known for its very authentic Thai cuisine and for the truly incendiary spice level of some of their dishes. So...

As we were heading into the restaurant, a couple was trying to beat us to the door in order to get their names on the wait list before we did. Well, we opened the door to the restaurant, while they opened the door to the adjoining apartment building. Strike One.

Of course, they ended up being seated next to us. Well...

Then they placed their orders. Not only did they want mushrooms added to both of their vegetarian entrees, they requested that everything be prepared "NOT SPICY". Of course, the items they really wanted to try - the ones they pointed to - were not available "NOT SPICY". However, the waitress was very patient and guided them to the milder selections on the menu. -Why bother coming to a restaurant known and famous for its "heat" and then order everything bland ("NOT SPICY") and blander ("with mushrooms")?!?!? Strike Two.

Well... Our appetizers and entrees came. The entrees and appetizers for the table on the other side of us came. Meanwhile, the "NOT SPICY" couple kept waiting for their entrees. Of course, once they were placed on the table, it turned out that the kitchen had left out the "with mushrooms". So they sent them back to the kitchen to get "with mushrooms". Strike Three.

Then it came time to pay the check. The guy placed his fancy-schmancy Visa card on the menu tray just as the waitress was coming back to their table.. "Oh, sorry, cash only" -As she pointed to "Cash Only" on the bill... As well as the large signs on the front door, above the cash register and on each page of the menu. Strike Four.

*When his girlfriend asked her boyfriend how he found this place, he replied, "Well, I'm a foodie." Hmmm...

**And I guess you had to be there. But I really wanted just to smack both of them.
