'morning, Jane - Last night I went to Mary Doria Russell's reading and signing for A Thread of Grace at one of our local bookstores. She was, as usual, very entertaining. She announced that her next novel is titled Dreamers of the Day and will be about the 1921(?) peace conference that drew the map of the modern Middle East. Lawrence of Arabia, Winston Churchill, and Gertrude Bell will all be characters in the book.

Hi Ginny,

First I have to pick up her current book. I will add that to my list of things to do today. Did you begin reading it yet?

Jane · « **Reply #62 on:** March 04, 2005, 08:35:05 AM »

I picked up the phone, the one next to my laptop, and made a call. Surprise, surprise, I was disconnected from the internet. At least I now know why that happened.

Bruce we have phones all over our house. Did you buy the one phone or get an extension with it?

bk · « **Reply #63 on:** March 04, 2005, 08:40:43 AM »

I just bought the one phone, but you can add up to four or five extra units.

BALLYHOO!

I'm going to take the bandage off in about fifteen minutes.

Bruce, I hope you get to see Joanie Sommers at the show.

TOD:
CD player: The monlogues of Ruth Draper. I haven't listened to them for a couple of years. They are so brilliant. SHE is so brilliant.

Cassette (Yes, Virginia, I still listen to cassettes): A tape of some of my 45's. Great stuff.

JRand54, I hope you are feeling better today!

I will be off of work in 20 minutes! Ballyhoo!!!!

If Joanie is there I shall see her.

Jane · « **Reply #69 on:** March 04, 2005, 09:08:46 AM »

Bruce when you add the phones do you know if you can talk on them at the same time. About a year ago we picked up the same system and had to return it as we couldn’t use two phones at the same time. We found out the hard way while trying to talk to Bryan.

DerBrucer the dog pictures are darling!!

Ah, there, I've taken off the bandage and now I can type again.

Why, ozderek and Tom - haven't you both been errant and truant for some time?

It's been raining on and off but it looks like it might clear up.

Happy Birthday to Panni.

DR Jose: I am glad I could help you smile your way through some of those interminable auditions.

Have given up on AccuRadio.com at the office, and returned to AOLRadio. Been listening to radio in the car, too. Not sure what's in the ol' VCR at home. I am thinking it might be "Wickedly Perfect" from last Saturday, or maybe Tuesday's "Amazing Race."

Bambi is in my DVD player.

Hasn't that poor deer (dear?) suffered enough? First his mother dies, and now he's trapped in a DVD player.

I've never much liked Bringing Up Baby either. I can't tell you where I read it, but years ago at Powell's bookstore here in Portland I found some critical tome on Hawks which proclaimed Come and Get It his best screwball comedy. I know that seems counter-intuitive (to say the least), but the guy (I think it was a guy) made some very good points, especially about the barroom scene where FF makes her entrance.

Happy Birthday, Panni. Come back, little Sheba.

In the mail yesterday: The Comedy Classics boxed set.

AUGHGHGHGHGH! I'm inundated with stuff I am beginning to believe I'll never be able to fully enjoy.

Baby needs a change in his life!

And surprise! Surprise!

Can I possibly have won the title card to "There's No Business Like Show Business" in an eBay auction for under $100? Last few times this card has been offered -- and in lesser condition than the card I won -- it went for more than $200.

Much ballyhoo from me over it!

I'm going to play devil's advocate on the "Bringing Up Baby" issue. I enjoy it -- and DR Jane, I suspect BK does, too, at some level -- because of its pacing and the antics of its costars. But...it is a bit too frenetic. I've always taken it as a put-on...Hepburn's forced laughs...Grant's unbelievable naivete (no man who ever looked that good was ever that naive).

It's the sheer absurdity of the situation -- the spoiled girl with the pet "Baby" that takes a rare dinosaur bone and buries it. The supporting cast is wonderful, too.

I enjoy watching the film, but when it's over, I'm exhausted.

I listen to Accuradio off and on but mostly off. I have such trouble with it and I have a high speed office connection. I have no trouble with any of the other Internet radio stations, just Accuradio. Oh, well. I have plenty to listen to at work so I can't complain.

bk · « **Reply #79 on:** March 04, 2005, 10:30:32 AM »

BALLYHOO!

HOKUM!

bk · « **Reply #80 on:** March 04, 2005, 10:33:27 AM »

Yes, I said that the cast of player in Bringing Up Baby is exemplary. And I do find some of it amusing. But the endless falling down of Grant and Hepburn is tiresome and the plotting just makes me antsy, and the dialogue, while fun at times, is not just funny enough. But, that's just me.

Speaking of me, it's now pouring.

Maybe I'll just put the notes up at three in the morning.

Of course, from where I sit, BK always does that.

A busy day at work today, I had no time to stay and play and now I must away, away because I have more bills to pay!!

Well, from the evidence at hand, it's BK, George, Ann and our friends in Oz who are affected by whether BK posts at midnight PST, or 3 a.m. PST.

I know I'm in bed whenever it's done.

bk · « **Reply #84 on:** March 04, 2005, 10:58:57 AM »

In other words, no one gives a flying Wallenda WHEN the notes go up. Harumphhh.

BALLYHOO!

It's so much easier to type when one doesn't have a bandage on their finger.

bk · « **Reply #85 on:** March 04, 2005, 11:01:02 AM »

And why has no one even mentioned the wonderful team of Croad and Mingoo?

It poured for about three minutes. Now the sun looks like it's coming out.

My little get-together with Mr. Grant Geissman has once again been pushed, this time to Sunday. But Sunday is written in stone. I know this, because I have a stone and it says "Sunday".

bk · « **Reply #87 on:** March 04, 2005, 11:04:15 AM »

Ladies and germs, please give it up for Croad and Mingoo!

When did "please put your hands together" get changed to "please give it up for"?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #88 on:** March 04, 2005, 11:07:51 AM »

I like it when the notes go up at midnight PST - which means I can read them while waiting for WHAT'S MY LINE to come on GSN if I am up!

Feeling better, thanks MB. Enjoy your day!

Nothing in the mail today. That is depressing. I paid for something nearly 15 days ago, and an email last week to the seller told me she would "try" to ship it soon. What is it? Would she wait for my money? I doubt it. GRRRRRRRR
