I did enjoy DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. I had to really smile with Lynette and her kids. I wish I had a dollar for every time a parent would tell me in conferences, "My child doesn't lie."

Also, recently Terri Hatcher has won two awards as Best Actress in a Comedy series. I know it makes good copy for her to be enjoying this comeback, but I don't think her work is nearly as worthy of awards as Felicity Huffman or Marcia Cross.

Just goes to show how much other stuff figures into who wins what award and who doesn't.

I only got one of the many packages I'm expecting - but it was a good one - another Patrice Leconte film. I shall watch it this very evening.

WFO thank you for fixing the link.
Vixmom you did more with it than I did.

I once made Keith a birthday card-never again. He didn’t stop laughing for twenty minutes. I really can’t draw.

I received a Valentine’s card in the mail today and it wasn’t from Keith.

Mr. Barrett, commonly know hereabouts as the Sexiest Man Alive (SMA)

Actually, he's known here as the WORLD'S Sexiest Man Alive (WSMA).

I think the "thing" is that they submit specific shows to accompany nomination suggestions. Hatcher was front and center in the early going...moreso than the other ladies who have lately come into their own.

Certainly, though, there were several of them nominated for the Golden Globe...so her "comeback" might have been a consideration.

Some "comic" valentines from those days...with more than a little edge to them:

Good Afternoon!

Well, my baking for Hallelujah, Baby! has officially come to an end. I made two of those Amazon Cakes - without adding double the amount of water this time! - and a Pumpkin Spice Streusel Bundt cake. -And I have to say the house smells sooooo good right now! -Who needs needs Yankee Candle?

I dropped them off at the theatre about two hours ago for the crew who is handling the strike of the set and lights.

Since I hadn't brought my own Bundt pans with me, I dug around the kitchen cabinets until I found the ones my Mom has had for years - since my childhood. Worked like a charm.

On the way back, I stopped at the Vietnamese bakery and picked up a grilled pork sandwich - banh mi, and I mailed some letters at the post office.

Tonight, for Valentine's Day, I'm planning on attending the iPhoto and Adobe Photoshop Elements workshops at the Apple Store here in Arlington. Very romantic, huh?

RE: Jacques Torres - I believe he just opened a store in Manhattan recently. At least that's what I remember from a recent article in Gourmet magazine.

I have been to his store/shop/factory once before. WOW!!!

There are lots of great chocolate shops in Manhattan, both upscale and more homey. My favorites - at least off the top of my head at this moment - are Chocolate Bar in Chelsea (great chocolates, hot cocoa and other goodies), and Maison du Chocolat at Rockefeller Center.

A few years ago, while walking around the Village and Chelsea, I made a point of stopping in all the chocolate shops - at least the ones I saw - and I bought one piece of chocolate in each shop. Perfect energy food for a leisurely day spent walking around Lower Manhattan

How come the lyrics appear above the music notes? And I don't believe I've never seen those particular lyrics before either?!?!?

However, it is sort of neat that "The Real Book" - which is a series of books of jazz charts - has gone legitimate. They're now published by Hal Leonard. I still remember the days when they were literally sold out of the trunk of someone's car during the first week of classes in college.

I et a couple of low cal/low fat burritos. Ain't THAT romantic? MELON, that's all I can say.

Re: My Funny Valentine. One of the exercises I remember from first year Jazz Theory was having to reharmonize the phrase that's on the fourth line of the chart above (leading into the cadence at Bb7, which in turns gets us into the bridge). I believe I worked backwards along the circle of fifths from the target chord and did

Amb5--D7--G7#9--C13#11--Fmb5--Bb7

Does everybody realize that the song MY FUNNY VALENTINE originally had nothing to do with Valentine's Day. The song is from the musical BABES IN ARMS and the leading male character is named VALENTINE LAMAR.BILLIE SMITH the leading female character sings this song about him

Behold the way our fine feathered friend
His virtues doth parade
Thou knowest not my dim witted friend
The picture thou hast made
The vacant brow and thy tousled hair
Conceal thy good intent
Thou noble,upright,truthful,sincere
And slightly dopey gent---You're
My Funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
You're looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's Day

ALL HART AND ALL HEART- Amazing!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL !!!

After work I must once again run up to Frey's in Wilsonville to find a copy of THE COSMIC MAN (1959)on DVD to view for a future potential interview. I like to be prepared with having scene a potential interviewees movies before contacting them for an interview..however, sometimes I end up spending money on these things only to find the person does not want to be interviewed! Ah, well.

On the bright side I often get to see some wonderful films that I would not otherwise have watched...however, that is likely not to be the case with THE COSMIC MAN! LOL!

Perhaps I will go ahead and also purchase the Mexican film ACAPULCO A GO-GO, subtitles be damned!

I've written a bit more than the number of pages I'm trying to do every day - I'd still like to do a couple more, since I'm in a new section again. We shall see. I'm going to get some air now.

Jrand54 and Elmore3003, a current issue of CLASSIC IMAGES is winging it's way across the country to each of you as I type this!

DRMBarnum, you are a dear. I'll be happy to give the copy to an inquisitive DR when it arrives. I bought the issue last weekend because you are a dear friend. Happy Valentine's Day!

Somone in the office has reacted negatively to my choice of DVD's saying they "send the wrong message"

I thought the message was "I love you enough to buy you stuff you really like".... what was I supposed to do? Buy him a copy of "Endless Love" ?

I love your gift, DRvixmom; the negative person is either failing at being funny or a negative bitch. Either way, I wouldn't trust their opinion.

Evening all!

A circular saw!? Now he tells the secret to a man’s heart. Who knew? I thought I had the market cornered because I have a chain saw! Geeezz.

Chainsaws are for when you're a-courtin' rednecks. (Which can be fun, too!)

I'm very logey from having eaten my romantic burritos.

Got some air, and wrote another page-and-a-half, so that's cooliscious and I think I may be finished scribing for the day. We shall see.

MELON!

DRPogue, I'm happy the carton arrived safely. Thanks for your kind words. The vocal arrangements and the editorial job on the score are mine, but the wonderful orchestrations are the original 1930 charts by the greatly talented and venerable Hans Spialek and Robert Russell Bennett. You are right, they are superb, and the dance arrangements are so much fun!
