But what are the "extra ingredients" in Anacin?

Cocaine, laudanum, opiates, and benzedrine.

So that explains why you are so strange!  ;)

DR Joey, DRMichaelBarnum is not strange.  He's very special.

Special-LOL-very true.

George are you saying you can't program the second handset?  I set up most of my numbers on the base-it really wasn't that big of a deal once I got the hang of it.  

Now I'm really going to take a walk.  When I return I will attempt to program the 1st handset.

No, the second handset can be programmed (the phone book/speed dial part), but it's a separate phone book/speed dial list.  EACH handset must have phone numbers stored into them individually and ne'er the twain shall meet.  Other than that, the second handset is basically plug-and-play.  The outgoing message has to be recorded from, and the options (number of rings before it goes to the message), the volume of the rings, etc., all are all set in the main handset.

George that sounds about the same, just that we don't have an answering machine.  I now have voice mail programmed on my speed dial list.

I had a lovely walk, now I have dishes to wash.

I'm back.  Very frustrating trying to get home this evening.  After rehearsal, I went to Amoeba to trade in some stuff (got great credit and got some new DVDs and some grand new Collector's CDs  - they are now doing for Andre Kostelanetz what they did for Percy Faith.  Some great albums in the first wave - two albums on one CD.  

In any case, a little after seven I got in my motor car.  You could see the traffic going towards the freeway on Cahuenga was backed up and entire block south of Sunset.  So, I detoured over to Vine.  Vine was backed up to Hollywood Blvd. so I jogged back to Cahuenga, which was the same.  It was insane all the way to the freeway - once you got on there was no traffic at all.  There were no accidents on Cahuenga, and, having taken this route many times at this hour I am at a loss as to what stupidity caused the jam up of every street leading to the freeway in Hollywood.  It was worse than Hollywood Bowl traffic.  Hideous.  

I'm now going to eat some licorice.  I had a favorite commercial that always made me laugh because of its inanity, but I can't remember the product, only the punch line.  It was some young man looking at the mother of his girlfriend or something, and saying, "Oh, Mrs. So-and-so, I thought you were Dale."

I'm so happy!  

The worst singer was ousted.  How much better could it get?

MUCH better because it was a slap in the face of Randy and Paula whose tastes are not in tune with the rest of the country, apparently.

I've always thought him unique and special.

He's definitely not mainstream, and that's a very interesting thing.

I rushed off to shower and wash my hair.  Rushing was a very bad idea, especially once I had removed my glasses.  I am now sitting with with a bag of frozen peas on my little toe.  I hope I didn't break it my toe.

What's with the really, truly offpitch singing in some of these tv commercials?  I've heard two today, one for Target, which features lax, underpitch godawful sounds, and another for an internet carrier in which a lady at her computer sings "I waited and waited and waited/And you were never there for me."  I can't figure if she's supposed to be a parody of a bad cabaret singer or if she really sucks.  Couldn't they have dubbed someone better?

Can one of you film history scholars explain something to me:  why was To Be Or Not To Be not a Paramount release?  The two stars and the writer/director were all Paramount contract people, so I'm wondering how they all got releases to do a Korda/UA production, especially in the cases of Lombard and Lubitsch.  And I could have sworn I saw TBONTB with a Paramount logo when I was a teenager, but maybe I'm imagining things.


Exactly how old are you, Vera?  The truth.

I thought you were Dale.  No one remembers?  DVDs (all region 2) I got tonight are: An Inspector Calls with Alastair Sim (can't wait to see it), a Chris Marker double bill of his masterpiece, La Jetee (a brilliant twenty-nine minute film - one of the greats) and Sans Soleil (which I've never seen), and I Live in Fear, a Kurosawa film from 1955, which I've never seen and which sounds great.

LOST had one of its most touching episodes and new life was welcomed on the show and one life was taken away. So glad we're going to have another season of this marvelous program.

Sweet honey in the horn! I am back. Jane, your poor toe! Nothing smarts as much, and when I stub my toe, I never fail to stub it again within the next two days. So hopefully, you don't have that problem.

Official Job Interview Vibe request. Tomorrow at noon, est, I will carry these vibes with me in a briefcase. Perhaps I will even use them as references.
"Oh, you want references?" I shall ask. "Look at all these HHW vibes!"
