Having wireless issues. Have had to plug directly into the computer and am waiting for Apple to tell me that there is indeed a wireless issue in my nabe.

BK was always a fav character actor of mine.

Mabel Albertson was also Darren's mother on BEWITCHED and played in an episode of the "Superman" television series.

DR MS - I haven't seen any of the movies, so I can't comment on the scripts, music, OR performances. It's gotten so that I am more interested in DVD's and CD's than the big screen. I guess the old rocking chair's got me.

BK as John Smithee in TFNM is indeed worth a Supporting Actor nod of the head....if only for his "choreography" scene.

Just spent fifteen minutes on the phone with Apple. They're pretty good. We had to reset and reconfigure the Airport Extreme thing and now it's working just fine and dandy.

I'm now leaving work to go to usher for a tour of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Of course, it's not the tour with Ann-Margret that BK recorded. I've never seen the show at all and am pretty excited (no pun intended

) about it!

I shall soon be supping with our dear TCB. Good times are sure to be had!

Is this a slow newsday here at haineshisway.com?

I shall now be on my way to the Walt Disney Studios. Keep the home fries burning until my returning, especially if you want a detailed report.

I'm rather hungry and must figure out where to stop for something on my way home.

Jed and TCB have fun.

Ann how are you?

First, I had NO idea that playing spoons required special spoons...much less, "instrumental spoons."

Second, are you certain it's The Spoons that wonderdog is terrifed of rather than simply being scared of the "way" you play them?

I'll have you know I'm the Heifetz of the spoons. (A lie.)

You're right in that special spoons aren't needed for spoon playing. But THESE spoons are special in that there are two spoons on one handle, configured so that they "play" easily.
Wonderdog is a bit of a wuss when it comes to loud or strange noises. Thus his fear of the spoons.

Jane · « **Reply #190 on:** January 25, 2005, 06:54:15 PM »

Ann is gone, resting well I hope.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #191 on:** January 25, 2005, 06:58:36 PM »

Ah yes I have played the spoons for many songs. Much easier and less dangerous than playing the forks, I am sure.

THE AMAZING RACE is in Sri Lanka tonight....horrifying to think that some of the people and places we see no longer exist because of the tsunami.

Great challenges and ups and downs tonight. Don't miss it, if you are a fan.

A lull.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #193 on:** January 25, 2005, 08:22:26 PM »

Good Evening!

Back from the show... -Just 23 more peformances... Not that I'm counting or anything like that...

Nothing much else to report. We have a Noon matinee tomorrow, so I'm gonna be turning in earlier tonight. I'm just trying to plan my schedule tomorrow since we have a long break in between shows. And then it will be back to Richmond tomorrow night.

Hmmm...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #194 on:** January 25, 2005, 08:23:45 PM »

Oh... I'm doing laundry right now...

Hmm...

I have just returned from dinner with cyber son, Jed. We tried a new Mexcian place in the area that I had heard good things about. I was a wussburger and went for the plain old 3 tacos, rice, and beans. Actually they were quite wonderful. Jed, on the other hand, went for some massive burrito on steroids that looked quite fabulous and that he said was quite tasty. (Sorry, no photos)

After dinner, I suggested we take something back for ailing cyber daughter Ann, but Jed said, "Let her get her own damn food," or words to that effect.

Has anyone here had any experience with the HDMI connections on the back of HDTVs and cable boxes?

In the home theater layout I've been working on with my friend John, his new TV and cable box both had HDMI ports. Supposedly connecting these gives you a purely digital connection as opposed to using the three component inputs for HDTV. The TV looks great using the components jacks, but I surprised them tonight with an HDMI cable and went over to try it out tonight expecting the picture to be even purer and more vibrant (like in every review I've read of set0ups that use it instead of component).

Anyway, we got nothing. I thought there might be a conflict of signals, so we unattached all of the other hook-ups, but still nothing. I was very disappointed. Can't imagine why it's not working.

Yes, I meant Jack Albertson even though I knew Frank Albertson as well, but it was Jack who I knew had won the Oscar (and other prizes).

Charles Bickford was another wonderful character actor.

My brother had a similar issue. I can't remember the exact solution, but I do recall him mentioning that he had to set up the TV to "turn on" the HMDI connection via some Setup Menu on the TV. Additionally, he also had to go back and get the right cable... I think.

There's also a specific way you need to hook up the HMDI cable(s) if you are going through a cable box for the signal.

-Oh, and does your friend have digital cable service or just the box? -Never hurts to ask....

This probably didn't help... My brother was just here a few minutes ago... If I can track him down, I'll see he has any definite help for you.

Just came back from picking up a few things at the mall -- including a clothes rack to replace the one which collapsed months ago.

I'm now going to assemble it. Stay tuned.

I have some 'splainin' to do.

...Speaking of which - bk is picking up a sandwich and heading home. On being informed that there have only been 16 posts since he left his home environment, he was not pleased. No sir, not at all. He demanded at least 250 posts on his return.
I am only the messenger. Don't shoot me. But post! Post or be afraid, be very afraid!

... i always had a fondness for Maureen Stapleton. Such an honesty about her performances. Lovely!

I am also one who is thrilled that the soundtrack to THE VILLAGE was nominated.

No surprises that I'm a fan of the film, but the music was wonderful and certainly stands on its own.

bk · « **Reply #209 on:** January 25, 2005, 09:43:06 PM »

No, I was just funnin'. I would never complain about two hundred plus postings in one day. That said, WHERE IN TARNATION IS EVERYONE AND WHY HAVE THERE ONLY BEEN SIXTEEN POSTS SINCE I LEFT???

There, I got it out of my system. What "it" was doing in my system I have no clew. Now I must eat my sandwich. Therefore, it is a perfect time to post.
