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.

Oy. I really need a new pair of shoes. But i've been having a very hard time finding the style i want.

Anyhow I went into Payless. Normally i wear an 8 or 8 1/2. But depending on the shoe sometimes i can wear a 9. So i'm in the section with 8.5s and 9s. And i see this new brand of comfort fit. But the 9 was too big. So i ask the salesclerk if he has it in 8 or 8 1/2. He looks and then says he doesn't. But then adds "do you want me to get it for you in 8 i have that."

I played the recording and it's some totally awful Pavorotti thing, with an excruciatingly bad duet with Celine Dion, who looks like she's trying to pass a stone.

Sounds like the kind of show I'd enjoy.

I have been busy doing computer work. It is not exciting.

All I'll say about LOST is, I was VERY surprised Richard had "only" been on the island for 150 odd years.

elmore left without posting. Perhaps when he comes back he might be sorry he didn't take the time.

I check in regularly during the day to see who's around and what's new. If I don't feel the need to post. I don't, and if I'm busy - and I have been the past couple of days and today - I go back to work. For the past two days I've been redoing book shelves, packing up (so far) 12 storage boxes of books and music for Ohio and moving books around the apartment to different shelves.

I need another filing cabinet and I don't know where to put the blasted thing. It's very frustrating.

If it's not to late to comment on a title for Edisaurus' doc:

I propose a combination of these two:

Ever Heard Of The Booty Buddy Blanket?

Ever since we were introduced to the blanket with sleeves (better-known-as the Snuggie), more and more variations have emerged (a la Slanket Siamese).

One of the latest on the market is the Booty Buddy Blanket from Urban Outfitters. Besides the funny name, it actually stands out from the counterparts. The blue southwestern-motif blanket measures in at 66" x 69" and retails for $68. Plus, it has a comfy fleece lining.

Thanks for this. I still haven't ordered him a Splanket, maybe he will prefer this. I hope not, as I will be out of money if he does I mean my personal savings for gifts.

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.

George, have you not been attending rehearsals? Have I missed some reports?

We had our first blocking rehearsal on Monday. Because I actually got there about 25 minutes early (I couldn't tell when I was supposed to be there, so I got there at the earlier time), I got an extra line!

I had lunch at Zaytinya. -DR Jane and I lunched there a few years ago. They now have a prix-fixe "Mezze Lunch" - three mezze and a dessert - so...

All very Yummy!

Glad to hear the food is still delish.

I'm also glad you found some shoes to make your niece happy & her show was so delightful..

I hope your root canal procedure went as well for you, DR Ron, as mine went for me when I had my last one some years ago. In fact, it was so painless that I was able to go to FOREVER PLAID rehearsals the same night.

Matt H. · « **Reply #140 on:** March 25, 2010, 07:20:57 PM »

I continued watching THE CLOSER episodes when I went back down. Yes, I remembered that I had seen these episodes, but I hadn't watched these in quite some time, and I couldn't have enjoyed them any more. Terrific little mysteries with such wonderful acting. But apart from the story of the blonde bimbo (the marvelous Jennifer Coolidge) who wanted to have her husband killed, the plots were deeply, deadly serious.

The couple who had the psycho 13-year old from Russia as their adopted son was especially gruesome and creepy.

Matt H. · « **Reply #141 on:** March 25, 2010, 07:25:35 PM »

Next I watched tonight's FLASH FORWARD. It was a dull episode overall (a couple of very predictable events took place that, because they were so telegraphed, weren't very exciting). I suppose I'll stick with the show to the end of the season, but I doubt it'll get a second season.

Matt H. · « **Reply #142 on:** March 25, 2010, 07:26:23 PM »

A nice acting showcase for Kevin McKidd tonight on GREY'S ANATOMY, and Sara Gilbert had a very touching role as a terminal patient that left me in tears by the end of the hour.

I'm hoping the DVD counterparts of those two Blu-rays come in the mail tomorrow so I can start with the DVD version of the Godard film for my work project. If it doesn't come, I'll likely go ahead and work on the Blu-ray tomorrow. I don't want to start with it, but I hate sitting around doing nothing with discs sitting there waiting to be reviewed, even if they aren't coming out for almost a month.

We had a small group for tonight's book discussion, but had some lively discussion about Dreamers of the Day and Mary Doria Russell's other books. Emilie, our hostess, served fabulous chocolate mocha cake from Dorothy ~~Lamour~~ Lane Market.

Good Evening!

Well... After leaving DC right at 8:00am... And then making a stop in Philadelphia to drop-off and pick-up some passengers... My bus arrived in Chinatown at 1:15pm. A little longer trip than I was expecting, but I did get a few hours of sleep on the ride up.

DR Ginny, I really must get this book to read.

The wine I had at a neighbors this evening is beginning to wear off. It was very nice to be pain free

We too might get snow tomorrow. With luck it will stay on the mountains as it did today.

Once I got back to my apartment, I had some phone calls and errands to take care of. Then I had a meeting to go over some music, followed by a walk in Riverside Park - I just really needed to stretch my legs and it was such a beautiful afternoon here in NYC. Once I got down to the 79the Street Boat Basin, I just sat there for a while watching the sun set over New Jersey. Pretty.
