Well, I'll be...I missed the big event whilst sitting on my tush watching WANTED: DEAD OF ALIVE...although it was a good episode. I never understood the appeal of Steve McQueen, but after watching a couple of episodes of this show, I can see why he became so popular...he was a mighty fine actor.

I must say, the Oscars haven't really been the same since they moved the date up and moved them to Sunday, in an effort to have the ratings count at a more important time of year.

E-mail me the address BK, and I will get started on contacting her right away.

I'm feeling quite heady at this moment, oh, yes, I'm feeling quite heady. I'm feeling that soon we will be the most popular site on all the Internet.

Who will be tuning in to the pre-pre-pre shows? Which is the best to watch? And do people really arrive at three o'clock?

Thanks for the names of the other 1950 nominees DR MATTH.....Eleanor Parker.....do you think she bought a new dress and had her hair done for the party?

MR BK are you thinking of Hudson Heights?

I just remembered

Stephen Sondheim will be a guest programmer on TCM in celebration of his 75th Birthday.

Here is the page to go to http://www.turnerclassicmovies.com/ThisMonth/Article/0,,90464,00.html

Only 1 film was predictable. At least to me

You can live there for just under one million dollars!

No, Hudson Heights isn't it. Jen Piech lives there, and so does Michele Pawk. I hate when I can't remember things.

I'm going to buy cupcakes. I'll be right back.

Hopefully, someone can chime in with the name of the area by the time I'm back.

Thanks DR MS - great choices Mr S!

Washington Heights?

Oscar-day greetings! Sorry I missed the 100,000 milestone, but Congratulations to us all.

Just returned from a Big Read kickoff event at an independent bookstore in Centerville, OH, called Reader's Choice. It's so nice to be waited on by someone who knows books and cares about them.

Then I stopped at Dorothy Lane Market www.dorothylane.com and purchased some asssorted deli items for our pre-Oscar supper.

Even though we've seen 3 of the 5 Best Picture nominees (Sideways, Finding Neverland, and Million Dollar Baby) I don't have any emotional investment. Probably won't see it to the end, either, because tomorrow's a work day. See y'all on the red carpet!

Hamilton Heights?

Congrats to all of us! on the first Ten THOUSAND posts!

Since it's Oscar night, I want to send kisses to each and every one of you....

Cabrini Blvd is officially above what we call Washington Heights - it is in a lovely area called Inwood, right at the fabulously serene Cloisters. A gawjust place - and exactly where I sublet that apartment when i first got here in October - and that bit@# nightmare screwed me up, etc...

So, how did PennyO miss the major milestone?? Well, I was down at 43rd and 9th, standing outside of the Jewtopia matinee, thrusting my flyers into the hands of theatergoers, from 2:15 until 3 pm. Ah, the life of a diva!

PennyO · « **Reply #166 on:** February 27, 2005, 02:19:44 PM »

O-boy-o-boy-o-boy! Only three mo' hours to go...

Well, you guys, it's been real (whatever that means), but I have to get back to that Rhetorics paper. Woo hoo...

Jrand74 · « **Reply #168 on:** February 27, 2005, 02:26:35 PM »

E! Red Carpet starts in 32 minutes.

Hey, who kissed me?

Which made the playwright write:

DIARY OF A MAD PLAYWRIGHT How I toured with Mary Martin and Carol Channing and lived to tell about it.

Well he didn't so the book was released after his death and retitled

This is the reissue cover. The original had a picture of James in a straightjacket

Well, I have a whole kitchen filled with dirty dishes that ain't gonna clean themselves, so I'm heading out...for now. I also have to shower and shave. But mainly, I have a lot of dishes to clean. They were left over from last night. So, bye for now. I'll be back for the Oscar stuff! And again, HAPPY 100,000TH POST!!

So, it's above Washington Heights. That's fine, I suppose, but I could have sworn it had its own name.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #178 on:** February 27, 2005, 03:01:51 PM »

Joan Rivers' dress is beautiful
