Yes, there's a new Filichia column up - don't know why folks couldn't see it, I see it just fine.

Thanks for the Blue Rae news about TITANIC, DR JMK. I think - story wise - it is my favorite version of the story as well, even though it is historically VERY inaccurate....

Speaking of that film, I wonder if they will reverse that one camera shot for the Blue-Ray that shows the iceberg hitting the wrong side (port) of the ship. Even as a kid that shot bothered me, because I had read all the books and I knew that the starbord side of the ship made contact with the ice.

Good morning. Guess I've been a little E and T. I arrived at my parents on Wednesday morning and discovered that Phoebe the cat is much sicker than they led me to believe. They said it was just her eye that had a problem, but her balance was clearly off, she was falling down a lot when she tried to walk, her face was swollen, and her eye shut, but when I lifted the lid you could see her eye is fine.

I don't think she was getting all her antibiotics on time.. Anyway, I told them we had to take her to the vet since the antibiotics clearly weren't working. We were able to get in right away (small towns are good for that) and it looks like things may be a lot worse for poor Phoebe than an infection. In fact she doesn't have a temperature and has an appetite, so it probably isn't an infection. To make a long story short, she either has a really bad abcess or a tumor right behind her right eye. It's right where her ear canal and balance center are and where 12 different nerves come it. She's on some other medication until Monday, and if that doesn't work he'll do an x-ray to see how much the bone structure is impacted.

It doesn't look good for poor old Phoebe. She's tiny, skin and bones. I feel so sorry for her. Vibes would really be appreciated

Vibes for DC Phoebe, as well as for Cilla and her folks.

Has this been discussed here - that Ethel Merman, Stephen Sondheim and Jule Styne combined to do a campaign song for John Lindsay for NYC mayor in 1965?

For real, no kidding:

That was great. And Fred, your Merman is really wonderful! Where do you get these ideas?

Some guy drove by and stopped at the house for sale next door. So I turned up the Ethel Merman clip. He drove away.

When we were at the old house and they had subdivided the farm next to us and stuck in all the McMansions (the main reason we moved), when they had their open houses, I used to open my office window and play a looped CD I had of a beeping garbage truck backing up interspersed with horror movie screams. It took them quite some time to sell those houses, and they ended up doing so for several hundred thousand dollars less (each) than they originally asked. My work there was done, and we moved.

Personally, I think Benedict Cumberbatch sounds like a piece of formal men's evening attire. As in, "Darling, have you seen my Benedict Cumberbatch?"

Since first seeing the name, I thought it sounded a bit like a dish for a fancy brunch...an egg dish with cucumbers" -- "Benedict (a la) Cumberbatch"

TCB · « **Reply #71 on:** November 25, 2011, 12:33:42 PM »

After listening to the Merman / John Lindsay number, I watched the Barbra, Judy, and Ethel clip. I suppose the whole thing could have been rehearsed, but Barbra seems a little out of the loop during it, and she clearly does not know the words to "THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS." Has anyone ever read anything regarding the Ethel Merman appearance?

Hello, everyone.

I, too, am in need of exercise. It's a glorious day here, so a walk is in order.

I'm glad to see that BK is getting some much-needed R&R.

Ron, when do you leave for your mother's house?

Jeanne · « **Reply #76 on:** November 25, 2011, 12:42:00 PM »

I was also impressed with Benedict Cumberbatch, though that name is certainly a mouthful. I like both DR JMK and DR Ron's riff on the name.

I ate turkey for breakfast, although I had planned on making a tuna sandwich.

I really enjoyed the Michael Gambon Maigret, but have not seen the others. Perhaps it's time to revisit Maigret.

I started a new (to me) David Liss novel yesterday and was in love by the end of the first paragraph. Then I realized that I'd missed a book, chronologically. I ordered said miss and put down the new Liss. I'd just finished a book by a new author, which had really left me cold, and I was in the mood for some fine writing. The disappointing author has won several awards, but I found the work below par. Sigh.

We are about to embark on some errands. Hopefully, the people who were shopping 12 hours ago are home taking naps...

Bye for now!

If I may...

Could I ask for vibes for my lower back. Alas, I believe all the sitting down in rehearsals, sleeping in two different beds, and dealing with some very herky-jerky bus rides over the past few days has taken it's toll. My back it is a twingein'.
