The new Miss America's talent - she was Miss New York - was sitting on the floor singing HAPPY and playing with a red plastic cup.

4th runner up - Miss Massachusetts - played the piano and said that she changed the original tempo of the piece, so she really felt like she created it.

Mary Jane played piano as her talent.....not sure if it was her favorite Beethoven or Edward MacDowell....but it is unlikely she changed the original tempo.

I wonder what color Allison's gown was. I am picturing Firehouse Red.

[Ron Pulliam]

OOF!  I missed stickjaw's birthday!  I am so sorry, David!

[MBarnum]

I failed to wish DR SingDaw a happy birthday yesterday, so I will do so now!

[Jrand73]

Red or emerald green....is my guess

[MBarnum]

In other news....actress Shirley Yamaguchi passed away last week

I loved her in Kurosawa's SCANDAL, and even more in the American film JAPANESE WAR BRIDE where she played opposite Don Taylor.

And in musical news, Bob Crewes has passed away. I was not aware that he was gay...I wonder if June Kenney knew this when she was dating him for that magazine story 


Love his music!

DR Cilla, just thinking of moving back to your hometown-wow!  I have considered doing the same, if only my home town wasn't LA.  Sorry folks in L.A.   We gave up a lot to get out of there, just our preference. 

[Jane]

today is when i find out when my operation #1 will be.

I hope it isn't too long of a wait.

[Jane]

BwayAnge I hope everything continues to improve and go well with you.

HOUSE OF BAMBOO.  That's the one; a remake of THE STREET WITH NO NAME

A few days ago there was a big brouhaha about Danielle Watts being "detained" in Studio City because someone called the police that she and her boyfriend were going at it in the car on a public street in broad daylight.  Of course, she had it all on her Facebook page in minutes as did her boyfriend and then everyone, having read her side of things, immediately did exactly as you'd expect.  Then the police audio was released and not a one of those folks doing exactly as you'd expect bothered to comment on what those tapes contained.  After hearing them, well:  http://www.tmz.com/2014/09/15/django-actress-daniele-watts-lapd-race-card-fame-audio/

I wondered what the real story would be-thanks.

[Jane]

My opinion is she immediately caused the situation herself, her hysteria is completely bogus because her crying sounds completely manufactured and actressy and comes and goes at will as she deems necessary.  Literally one second she's screaming and crying and the next second she's being a complete smart ass.  She walks away from the police when they're talking to her, and keeps refusing to show her ID while the police explain to her why she must - her boyfriend already had shown his.  As the cop says, "We would have been gone in five minutes without any problems."  Listen - there are about four to listen to -

I read the story and felt that was enough and I prefer not to listen.  I'm glad there is proof of the truth, whatever it may have been.

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I really can't think of a reason not to do it.   I can still come to Sioux City and visit my friends, it's only 2 hours away, so other than the hassle, the selling a house, buying a house and moving, I don't know that there's a down side

[Cillaliz]

I told both Bob and one of my close friends this morning. They both said it makes perfect sense and if I can do it, I probably should do it. Interesting

[Jrand73]

June and Bob looked cute in those photos......but I think I lost them in a computer crash.....

BK, Congrats on the Summer Camp!  Hope it goes better than you expect!

[George]

Welcome to new DR BwayAnge!  I know you're not brand new, but I missed welcoming you when we didn't have internet access for a few days.

Thanks for the Welcome!  I couldn't remember my previous user name -- it could have been BwayPhan or a variation thereof.  I've had a rough ten years or so, but am ready to take on the world again!

To make a long story short -- first my Dad passed, then my Mom passed and was down sized 18 months ago. For the first time in my life, could not get a job.  No one would hire an experienced 50 year old bookkeeper & legal secretary -- with a degree, types 60 wpm, ten key 150 cpm, excellent word & excel skills.  Crazy!

Out of the clear blue sky one day, I reconnected with a high school classmate who said her family business needed a bookkeeper.  Was hired on the spot -- no applying or formal interview.  Three weeks later -- I keep pinching myself.

BwayAnge, I'm so sorry for the loss of both your parents and your previous job.  But congrats on the new job!

[Jrand73]

I took down the photo of Bob Crewe - it was too scary.

I just don't get the appeal of the cup thing.

MBarnum, that Bob Crewe album has an oddly ominous-sounding song on it: Girls on the Rocks.

On one level, it sounds like they've been iced. The other conjures images of positions that are a little too painful to contemplate.

Topic of the Day:  "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Fahrenheit 451."

Thanks George....of course, I'd still be here....but I would be closer to DR Singdaw    It's only a little over 3 hours to drive from my home town to St. Paul

Christmas IS coming.

That's great!

What about the lease you just signed?

The chocolate trees are cute.
