Still no VAIO.

DR JOSE - you are quite the traveler.

DR JRand - I hope you get your computer back sooner rather than later. Compared to the current MacBook's a G4 is kind of a "toy".

As for today's travel, well... I was toying with heading down this week for a brief visit to coincide with a couple of things going on here in Richmond this week, and, once I saw JetBlue's sale, well... -The round-trip cost less than my usual Chinatown bus ticket! -As well as saving me from 10 additional hours of travel time.  I actually have a reception down here in Richmond next Tuesday that I'd like to attend, so, hopefully, JetBlue will run another $10 sale next week. ;)

This is a day when I don't quite know what I'm doing.  There are things to be done, but everything seems like a blur.  I know I have a staff meeting and then I have to cover a Little Shop... rehearsal for a friend of mine.  A little less than 30 days of school left, maybe that's where my head is.  I'm hoping bk's book arrives today!

Loved Adele.....married to Glenn Langan, I think.

You're thinking of Adele Jergens, who was married to Langan.

Adele Mara was married to producer Roy Huggins.

Last night, there were two simply wonderful ones that made me laugh with delight!

The frustrating day continues: I ordered from an Amazon.com vendor what I thought was a vocal score for Victor Herbert's operetta THE SERENADE. Well, it is. Sort of. Kessinger has reprinted the vocal score, which is about 8x11 inches, then cut it down - not reduced it - to fit a 6x9 binding: the sides of the music are cut off and the bottom stave of the piano is missing. Try explaining this to a non-musician. and the asses charged me $30 for this piec e of crap. So, i'm raising hell with amazon as well as the marketplace vendor since Kessinger, the reprint house, refuses to put their address on this product. I am very annoyed at the moment.

Back from some poached eggs on toast and white rice.  Am about to watch a motion picture for our upcoming release - must write the liner notes later today.

I did find the address on their site and the letter is written and mailed. Their catalogue information on each item is pathetic.

I've had a busy day of viewing thus far.

I began with last night's NURSE JACKIE episode. Harvey Fierstein was the guest star as a man with a dying lover. He's reluctant to pull the plug and goes through agony trying to decide.

I really love some of the "small touches" the producers of "Chuck" have been employing.

Last night, there were two simply wonderful ones that made me laugh with delight!

And the episode irritated me beyond belief, at least the Ellie scenes did. Argh! That same tired old plot device of keeping secrets from your loved ones that leads the person into getting into tons of trouble. I am SICK of this.

All of the Buy More stuff with the returning girl friend I skimmed right over. I hate all of those characters apart from Morgan and he's getting tiresome.

And as for Chuck's dilemma. I had the tooth thing figured out long before they arrived at the answer. And, like on MEDIUM, the powers that be always doubt Chuck even when he's proven himself right time after time.

Nice to see Brandon Routh guest starring again, and I have hopes he's going to turn up for the season finale episode since it looks like that's where things are leading.

While I ate lunch I watched last night's CASTLE. I arrived at the solution to the mystery mere minutes before it was revealed, but it was a good mystery and an excellent episode.

I noticed that TCM-HD was showing some Miss Marple movies today. I caught parts of MURDER AHOY and MURDER MOST FOUL, and they both looked simply wonderful in HD, very crisp with great contrast and black levels. I didn't have time to linger on them, but I'm sure they'll be around again in HD, and I'll record them the next time around.

Then I watched my work project for the day: MARKED FOR DEATH with Steven Seagal. Pretty bad. Acting mostly atrocious except from Keith David who acted circles around everyone else. All about Jamaican drug gangs and voodoo, it was pretty trite and instantly forgettable.

There are a few guys on my worksite who are big fans of this movie. Just goes to show that there is an audience for EVERY movie no matter how terrible or trying.

There were no bonus features at all on the Blu-ray of MARKED FOR DEATH, not even a trailer, so that opened up some time in the afternoon for additional viewing.

This is when I took the time to watch last night's CHUCK. (See above.)

Since I had watched tiny parts of those Miss Marple movies, I took MURDER AHOY on DVD off the shelf and began watching that. I only got about 20 minutes in, but I'll finish it when I go downstairs in a bit.

I just found out something that really gets my allergies going. Fresly cut grass!  It's almost as bad for me as perfume or cigarette smoke. My eyes were burning. :(

(luckily i was not cutting grass just near it).

Today is my aunt's birthday. I made her a honey cake, since that is one of her favorites. Then my dad apparently announced that this was his favorite cake too. So i made an extra for him.

Tonight we are going for Chinese food (one of my favorites). And Sunday it is my niece's first birthday party. And it will also be at a chinese restaurant. Although the one on sunday will be a buffet. So far there are 72 people attending.

I wonder if she will hate it since she doesn't really like strangers too much. Although i suspect she will be fine as long as she has food and is not expected to be held by all these 72 people.

I'm not sure what i'll get around to watching tonight. Defintely DWTS results.

DR Cillaliz have you chosen your favorite yet?  My favorite is nicole and derek. Followed by evan and anna. I do like maks and erin. But like the other two teams better.

I"m not that crazy about chad and cheryl. I have not found his dancing to be too great. Niecy is actually growing on me. I love her personality. And i actually think she was better than chad. Although i'd suspect he is more popular.
