Here is your Allison Hayes picture of the week....another bathing suit that probably NEVER got wet!

A publicity photo from THE ZOMBIES OF MORA TAU!

I think with those handles, the hat could double as a beach bag.

Debates are the only chance most of us have of seeing candidates think on their feet. Tonight's is a fun study in contrasts: political vet vs. brash relatively-newcomer. A lawyer who's fought for the little guy against mega-corporations vs. a former CEO of a mega-corporation. Relative youth vs. somewhat near death. And, unfailingly polite vs. often slips into ad hominen invective.

I could name a million more.

Still not a big fan of mashed potatoes, even when schmaltz and gribbenes were part of the equation. (Which IS the most delicious way to eat them, after all....when one is eating them.)

Okay this brought back memories and made me want to cry. Gribbenes (sp?) are one of my most favorite treats. My grandmother used to make it for us all the time. She's been gone for ten years, so it's been a while since I've had some.

WOW, JRand54, that Allison shot I have NEVER seen before! Is that from your collection???

Good house vibes for DR Panni. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In honor of DR Jenny's birthday, I thought I would share a story that is a) Somewhat appropriate, given her moniker, and b) should be entertaining.

Many moons ago (oooh, a ONCE UPON A MATTRESS reference), I went to a "theatre camp" (I think I have mentioned that it was the one on which CAMP was based). Well, one summer I became friends with a girl named Jenny (whose father was a famous novelist/screenwriter/theatre chronicler). Jenny auditioned for our production of GYPSY. Jenny checked the cast list to see which role she got. Jenny noticed that her name was misspelled, but that it was next to "Mama Rose." Jenny was happy, and I was happy for her. She thought nothing of the obvious typo, until she turned around, and was greeted with a chorus of:

"Fenny, you're a woman with children,
come from another town...."

This is a TRUE story.

And I have never been able to tell it anywhere except here at the most erudite website on the internet, Haines His Way.

So Happy Birthday DR Fenny.

Has anyone seen the new Taye Diggs show on UPN? That is one station I don't get. But my sis taped it for me. And I must say I really liked it.

It's on Wednesday nights. And Taye Diggs basically plays a playboy whose cousin dies and leaves him with a baby. He is a lawyer and it's very Ally McBeal. Plus he is a total cutie!

No DRMBARNUM - I found that particular photo on the internet and printed out a small version of it. I am still a bit amazed at the superstructure....how did she get....uh...ahem....them to do that?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #73 on:** October 05, 2004, 02:41:59 PM »

For school lunch, the famous Spam sandwich cut lengthwise in half.

Cooking wise - meat loaf with mashed potatoes, still a favorite! Or glop - which sounds a lot like MBARNUM's mom's concoction....macaroni, tomatoes, green peppers, and hamburger!

Special treat.....pie dough sprinkled with cinnamin and then rolled and baked, cut into bite size pieces....mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Happy Birthday, DR Jenny!!!

Good vibes to Panni on her househunting adventures ~~~~~

DR Jennifer: It's freezing here, too! It's a nippy 90F here today!

Mom was a great cook -- but my favorite thing was sauerbraten with ginger snap gravy. Also, she made the best liver and bacon and onions.

Jenny · « **Reply #75 on:** October 05, 2004, 02:54:42 PM »

Thank you all for the kind birthday wishes!

I must say that I'm feeling a little bit like Molly Ringwald in "Sixteen Candles" today. All of my friends forgot my birthday! Even my stalker forgot my birthday! What's the point of having a stalker if he takes the day off on the one day of the year when all people should devote their attentions to you? Psh.

As for today's TOD, my mother isn't much of a cook. Over the past few years she's begun cooking occasionally, but when I was young, she probably cooked about twice a week. I always enjoyed the combination of grilled cheese sandwhices and tomato soup growing up, as well as the combination of chicken nuggets and Kraft macaroni and cheese. Now my mother makes delicous hamburgers, meatloaf, and eggplant parmigiana. I'm extraordinarily proud of her.

MBarnum · « **Reply #76 on:** October 05, 2004, 03:00:54 PM »

Yes, JRand54, our mom's must have both learned there cooking during the depression!

A favorite treat when I was a kid was cooked white rice with milk and sugar and cinnamon. Very tasty.

Oh Rochester.

Jenny, that is why you must always come to haineshisway.com. We NEVER forget our dear readers birthdays, or if we do, we rectify it immediately

Back from a Mexican lunch. Taco y enchilada. Excellent.

Good Afternoon!

This has been one long day for me. It's just been one of those days where I woke up tired. And stayed tired.

Of course, "being tired" didn't help this morning during my keyboard part coaching/learning session for The Producers. Just lots of stupid mistakes. Very stupid. -I somehow kept playing one section in 3/4 when it was written in 4/4 -

Consequently, I was getting a lot of raised eyebrows from the assistant conductor, and some vibes of apprehension. I was also in "getting self-flustered" mode this morning, so... -And BK knows what I'm like when I fluster myself. The fingers and the brain just don't sync up. However, we actually made it through the whole show, and now I know what sections I need to concentrate on over the next fews days.

I'll be fine. I don't play until Saturday, so I have plenty of hours to get some good "shedding" done. -And, thankfully, the shows are not at 10:00AM.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #79 on:** October 05, 2004, 03:51:24 PM »

Then I went to pick up my car. The third problem with the car turned out to be a small one - well, actually a small part. However, to get to said small part they had to take apart the exhaust system, so the labor cost was a bit more than I was expected. It wasn't exhorbitant, just more like a unexpected "surprise". But I got my car back, and it's running very well. And, most importantly, I have my up-to-date state inspection sticker on my windshield.

I ran some errands after picking up my car, and then came back here and took some "breathing" time this afternoon. I needed the break. And the nap. The nap has helped a lot. And now I'm about to head out to get some dinner, and then it's back here for some practicing...

Laters...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #80 on:** October 05, 2004, 03:53:07 PM »

...And it's cold here too! It didn't even really warm up that much during the day today. Parts of Richmond are under a frost warning tonight, and the lows should be around 40. -Guess I'll be taking down my down comforter from the closet.

bk · « **Reply #81 on:** October 05, 2004, 04:44:04 PM »

Sad to be all alone in the world.

No one home at 4:40? Skammen.

Checking out some new DVD transfers:

Fearless Vampire Killers - very sharp, flesh tones a bit brown, but a very good transfer.

It's Alive and its two sequels - all look excellent given their low-budget origins. All are guilty pleasures for one reason or another.

Three Faces of Eve - great transfer, stereo sound, gorgeous.

Les Uns et les Autres - Very sharp scope transfer (anamorphic) but very brown-looking, a shame. As with all Lelouch films that I somehow missed, I began watching it and cannot stop - so far it's totally mesmerizing and totally wonderful (and totally long at three hours, but I don't care as long as he sustains its wonderfulness).

What with the Speech from the Throne today AND the VP Debate, I am as happy a Political Science student as you'll ever get.

I know a lot of Canadians take their US politics seriously if only because they affect us so much. The CDN stations generally don't SHOW the actually debates, but there is almost always coverage on the news shows the day after.

But I am a geek... if I don't watch tonight how on Earth will I be able to discuss it with all my fellow poli. sci. geeky friends tomorrow morning?

Jenny - you need a stalker with a better stalking plan. Forgetting your bithday... the guy doesn't know a stalk from a tip! (wow... asparagus jokes... new line crossed

)

bk · « **Reply #83 on:** October 05, 2004, 05:28:32 PM »

I think I shall take a late-afternoon dip in the pool. Hopefully, we'll have a few frenzies by the time I get back.

Evening all,

First of all I have a bone to pick. I want to make it clear that I do NOT have an accent. I can’t help it if ya’ll hear funny.

I don’t know what the deal is with my voice. I finely got to meet Thelma’s daughters at her retirement party. I had spoken to them many times on the phone. They both said it was nice to be able to put a face to the voice because it (my voice) was unique. Unique?

I guess it has something to do with my parents being from Pittsburgh and I was born and raised here in the Tampa area. I guess that makes me a Rebel Yank. Or a Southern Northerner.

Anyway, most Southern people think I speak like a Yank and the Northerners think I speak like a Southerner. But I do NOT have an accent.

[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]Happiest of Birthdays to DR Jenny! Many, many, many more![/move]

I see BK bought himself a CHOCOLATE muffin. Told you, I did. Good, hummm? A Yoda reference.

We had a really bad rain storm last night so I didn’t get to go on the computer. I wish things would dry up around here!

Big news (for me at least)! I FINELY got the computer to “see” the video camera and have been able to upload most of my SLC and NYC footage! Yay! Now the next big project is figuring out how to burn it to a DVD disk so it will play on the TV. She has the technology but can she figure it out? The saga continues…….

Glad to see DR Jane on the board. I hope you get to see this. I will call you tomorrow between one and two—my lunch hour. I didn’t call today because I thought you were in transit and didn’t want to disturb you.

I missed out on favorite movie/TV animal and while I love everyone that was mentioned, one was forgotten. His name was Othello and he has since passed away. He was also known as “Goliath” from one of my all time favorite films, Ladyhawke. RIP, big fella.

If you want to talk about voices/accents, LadyHawke starred one of my very favorite men, Rutger Hauer, who has a voice to die for. He could say, “Shoe horn” and I would get goose bumps.

As for my favorite meal that my Mom made for me. Hummmm, there were so many things. I think I will have to say that Thanksgiving Turkey stuffing was one of my all time favorites. That's because we only got it on Thanksgiving. I always looked forward to Turkey day for just that reason.

I would give the recipe but I shall wait until Turkey day when I am sure the topic of the day will have something to do with food. That and I’m too lazy to look it up right now.

Sad to hear about Rodney Dangerfield's passing.

With Janet Leigh's departure, it has been a sad celebrity week.

Gee, this is the first I've heard about Rodney Dangerfield's passing. That's very sad.

And I know I'm out of sync--who/what is a Yo Yo Ma concert? Never heard of him/her/them/it.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #88 on:** October 05, 2004, 05:59:02 PM »

Before I forget (again): I received a very nice card from TomovOz from France. He and Colin are having a nice, leisurely European holiday from what I've been able to ascertain....concentrating on rural sights rather than big cities. They've done England, apparently (!),and are moving through France. I take it they will hook up with François de Paris sometime late next week! Tom's card was mailed September 30, and I got it October 4...not bad!

bk · « **Reply #89 on:** October 05, 2004, 06:00:30 PM »

Yo Yo Ma is a great cellist. They are doing a concert to promote his new album of Ennio Morricone film music. It's pretty much a terrific album with Morricone arranging for cello and making it as classic and classy as what he did for Edda Dell'Orso's voice.
