Ten o'clock and I'm the only denizen on the board. Woe is me, woe is me.

You wild BOHEMIANS.

AOL was acting up for me as well. Just think of it, bi-coastal misbehavior!

Oh, boy, did STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE spring a big surprise in the last few moments of tonight's episode. Won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but it looks like (at least from that one scene) that they had a strong indication that this was going to be their last season weeks ago when this episode was filmed.

I haven't watched LAST week's Enterprise, yet. A woman that I work with taped it and is going to make me a copy. Should I (do I need to) wait to see it or is tonight's episode the start of a new 3-episode story??

The production of Closer Than Ever that I saw tonight was very good. They made an announcement at the top of the show about Nona (that she died on Wednesday) and they also said that some of the songs that she was to have sung would be sung by men ("Life Story" and "Patterns") and that it wasn't done for humor. The parts that were supposed to be funny were funny. People laughed and I heard a few sniffles. They added four extra people to sing songs that Nona was supposed to have sung. They also projected photos of Nona (from earlier in the run) during those songs. It was very well done.

Well, it's been a long day (a How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying reference), and I'm tired. I also have to get up early in the morning, so I'm turning in. Good night all!

Just watched THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY on TCM. Gary Busey did a nice job - and I really like the recreation of the last concert....NOT the guy playing The Big Bopper.....but everything else.

Not historically accurate - my favorite recording of the final concert is on that London cast CD of BUDDY - I saw the cast do the song on the old Joan Rivers morning talk show....what fun.

Buddy Holly was such a talent. I remember all his Coral recordings on that bright orange label. I would always play them when I went to my cousin's house.

I was eight years old when he died and I remember everyone talking about it.....and the rest is rock and roll.

Well, I see denizens. Perhaps a few denizens will deign to post.

It's still pouring rain here.

Maybe some of that rain will make it to Delaware. I haven't had enough winter yet; it's too early for spring.

I deign, I deign.
Just woke up from a paralyzing sleep on the couch.
Was watching the film "Broken Lizard's Club Dread" which has been on HBO a lot lately and is compulsively watchable. I can see why it was a flop. It doesn't deign to be a clear-cut spoof of slasher films. It actually IS a slasher film with genuine gory violence, but also some really off-kilter humor. The Broken Lizard gang is pretty likable, but this film is carried by Bill Paxton's hilarious turn as a Jimmy Buffet-like stoner who runs a resort based on royalties from his song "Pina Colada-burgh".

BK et al - et vince et roger - AOL's embedded web browser is particularly buggy in the Mac version. As I've suggested before, just open a separate IE or Safari window anytime you want to surf. The Bookmark function in both IE and Safari are easy to set up, and if you're accessing the web via an ISP, by using the IE or S (or Firefox) you aren't "middle-manning" it with AOL's server - and internet filters. I also just like the extra screen real estate I get with a separate browser window. -And on Mac, if you take advantage of the Expose feature, it's very easy - and cool looking - switching between applications. -Oh, and I'm also growing accustom to Mac's iChat feature - which is basically AOL's AIM on steroids.

Sure Jose--
First it was cakes for everyone else. Now it's cookies. What next?!?!? Better that your theatre friends should get all the goodies, and the people who really matter get nothing. ***sigh***** $:-\$

Just you wait. You'll get yours soon enough.

DR Jane - I'll be sure and post the Not-Your-Average Peanut Butter Cookie recipe once I'm back in Richmond. I came across the recipe in Pam Anderson's book, "CookSmart". It's a very easy recipe, and, like a lot of recipes I've made a number of times, I just keep a Post-It with the ingredients (and respective amounts) in my "file" when I travel. -And I'm not sure where the Post-It is right now.

I just started a new DVD - All in a Night's Work with Dean Martin and Shirley MacLaine. I've never seen it before. It's directed by Joseph Anthony of The Matchmaker and The Rainmaker fame. It looks cute. When the main titles started, I heard the first four notes of music and I said, Andre Previn. Then I thought, has Previn ever done a Paramount film from that period, when he was exclusively at MGM? Then the music continued and I said, Andre Previn or an incredible sound-alike. The music credit finally came on - Andre Previn. My ear never fails me.

Has Ann caught up?

Where in tarnation IS Ann?

And our other late-night denizens?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #207 on:** February 11, 2005, 11:53:38 PM »

OH!

Good Evening! Good Morning!

We had a fun show tonight. Let's just say the light at the end of tunnel is burning clear and bright!

The cookies went over very well. It was interesting watching which types were more popular than the others. The peanut butter cookies were actually the first ones to disappear tonight - that was a first. Usually it's the Oatmeal-Chocolate-Chip-Pecan-Toffee ones. But the Peanut Butter Cookies really went over well tonight. There were lots of contented smiles as soon as people took their first bite of them. -And that made me smile too.

Once I got home, I went ahead and prepped the cake I'm making tomorrow. I have one final order for the German Chocolate Cake I've been making. One of the actresses wants to take it back to NYC with here. So, I made the coconut filling/icing, toasted the pecans, chopped the pecans (the pecans will be stirred into the filling/icing right before I assemble the cake), and I got my mise en place in place. The chopped chocolate, cocoa powder, flour, sugars, salt and butter are all measured out into various bowls, and covered with plastic wrap. All I have to do in the morning, is just cream the butter and sugars, melt the chocolate/cocoa mixture with some boiling water, then combine it all with some sour cream, pour into the prepared pans and bake at 350 for about 35 minutes. And I'm hoping to get this all done by 11:00, so that I can assemble the cake right before I leave for the theatre at 1:00.

Oh, and since the filling used four egg yolks, I went ahead and used three of the whites and made meringue kisses - little meringue cookies with milk chocolate chips in them. And very easy to cook once all the dollops of meringue and chocolate chips are dolloped onto the parchment paper covered cookie sheets. Once you pop them into the preheated 350 oven, you turn the oven off and leave them there for at least two hours - or overnight. *And while the oven was preheating, I used the time and electricity to toast the pecans.

OH!

DR Jennifer - I timed my egg whites tonight - Six minutes max.

Speaking of Dean and Shirley, have you ever seen "What a Way to Go"? They show this on FOX Movie Channel now and again and it is an unheralded classic. She is SO good in that and SO sexy.
That had to be one of the most coveted roles an actress ever got. Playing the wife to Dick Van Dyke, Robert Mitchum, Paul Newman, Dino, Gene Kelley... someone else.
Then she must have like 600 costume changes in the thing. The color is magnificent, the humor black.
Not available on any home format though.
