I did indeed reverse two of the answers, but BK kindly has entered me in the correct answers category. This was so convoluted I'm surprised I didn't reverse 7 or 8 of the answers.

Watched some MURDER SHE WROTE episodes this afternoon on my old HDTV. I've set it up in the guest bedroom with a DVD player and HDTV receiver attached to it. So, occasionally I will go in there and watch something that doesn't require surround sound. I did not set up a receiver and surround speakers but have the sound going directly into the TV's speakers.

I came up with a joke answer for the married a legend section of the trivia contest that I believe is worthy of a chuckle or two. More on Tuesday.

When I was at Border's last week I noticed there's a whole series of Murder She Wrote books "by" Jessica Fletcher.

Matt H. · « **Reply #64 on:** July 16, 2005, 02:03:58 PM »

I bought a couple of tose MURDER SHE WROTE books because I was such a fan of the series. The books are pretty lousy.

Also, if I may slightly disagree with BK on his clarification, I wouldn't go too much by age, as both of these people were quite young in these appearances. I think the "star" vs. "appeared in" clarification is spot on, however.

I didn't, but my typing fingers must have visited there occasionally during the years.

No, no, we need frenzies. More hot frenzies.

For example, I am currently frenzied doing the Lambada (The Forbidden Dance).

I've been told that all CDs that were packaged yesterday went out in this morning's mail.

International orders on Monday, along with some stragglers we didn't get to.

Good Afternoon!...

From New York City!!

[i)-New York City?!?!?[/i]

I made it through the Lincoln Tunnel just a little past Noon. The drive up was very easy and non-eventful. The sky was overcast for the whole trip, but that actually helped to keep things cooler in the car, so no real complaints weather-wise. And my car was a real trooper the whole way up. And I only used about a half a tank for the trip up! So...

At this time, I would like the Ford Motor Company for manufacturing such a fine automobile, my 1993 Ford Escort Wagon. -With just about 215,500 miles on it!

I got to my new place/apartment a little after 1:00 - I had to hang out in midtown for a while for the hand-off of keys since Nick got called in for something. Very nice space. I'll probably pick up a few decorations sometime, but I have a bed, a desk, a light and a door to the front patio, and that should do me fine for now.

OH!!!!

I decided to go ahead and drive up Broadway from Times Square - just because I could, and I felt like it. Once I cut over to Amsterdam, the City welcomed me in a most special way: I made all the lights from somewhere in the 70s to 130th! -You should have seen the smile on my face! -I sure could feel it. And then once I got to my place, I managed to snag a place right across the street. -And since some film crew is filming this weekend, I'm not feeling too uneasy about parking on the street, since there's will always be people walking about. -Plus, it's a pretty well-traveled block since there's a subway stop right on the corner.

So... After getting unpacked and showered, I headed down to midtown to get a bit to eat. I just ended up at Ollie's for some soup. Right now, I'm camping out in the Atrium Lounge in the Marriott Marquis nursing a surprisingly strong Tanqueray & Tonic.

...And then around 6:00, I shall be calling DR elmore to see what he would like to do for dinner. And believe DRs Rodzinksi and TPunk may be joining us too.

Now, just to show what a thrilling, exciting life *I* lead, I must hurry off the internet now so I can mop my kitchen floor.

The fun never ends!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #72 on:** July 16, 2005, 02:20:29 PM »

...I would have logged on last night, but the storms we had knocked out our cable modem - and the dial-up was being painfully slow. -Otherwise, I would not have been errant and truant last night.

And now I shall catch up on the post from the past 48 hours or so while I nurse my cocktail...

Tonight, I must get to EAST OF EDEN on DVD. I've been wanting to see it for weeks since getting the DVD.

Matt H. · « **Reply #75 on:** July 16, 2005, 02:23:01 PM »

Oh, I also found out this morning that Paramount, bk's favorite DVD studio, is releasing DARLING LILI and DETECTIVE STORY on October 25th, so those are two DVDs I'll definitely be looking forward to.

No word about which version of LILI it is, but I'm assuming it's the (shortened) director's cut that has been what's been shown on TV in the last few years.

bk · « **Reply #76 on:** July 16, 2005, 02:33:56 PM »

I shall be watching The High and the Mighty this very evening. I am so excited to see this in its proper ratio in stereo sound - this is probably the first time that's been possible since its initial release in 1954.

bk · « **Reply #77 on:** July 16, 2005, 02:35:08 PM »

I shall now be on my way to do some mailing, and then on to rehearsal.

MattH, check your e-mail.

JMK · « **Reply #78 on:** July 16, 2005, 02:39:01 PM »

It is the director's cut of Darling Lili, but the deleted scenes will be included as extras. Why can't they release both versions on a double-sided DVD?

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #79 on:** July 16, 2005, 02:42:25 PM »

I have been at The Big Yard Sale all morning. There is still a lot of stuff left.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #80 on:** July 16, 2005, 02:54:11 PM »

Well.. I'm half-way through yesterday's posts...

DR Ginny - RE: Amarillo -

DR Matthew - RE: Michael Rupert - As others have reported, Michael Rupert is alive and well and currently working up in Poughkeepsie, NY, at New York Stage & Film - which is where I was last week - and where I ran into him. After week off after White Hat, he headed back up there to be a part of Limelight, the Chaplin musical. And then he's off to... I forget... OH! -And I MD'ed the workshop of his new show, Streets of America a few years ago. They just did another demo of it, and it may get another workshop/production sometime in the upcoming season.

....OH!.. And his new "friend" is very cute too.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #81 on:** July 16, 2005, 02:55:51 PM »

OK - Time to log off and call DRs elmore, Rodzinksi and TPunk - and whoever else ends up showing up for dinner.

-Anyone up for brunch tomorrow?

*I have WIRELESS in my new place!! HOO and RAY! -So, I'll check in once I'm home from my evening of debauchery. -And any of your ears are burning tonight... Well..

Laters...

DR TOMovOZ - what are the songs on that Restless Doll cd? Interesting artwork to say the least.

I'll get back to you on that. i bought it for the dard to find "Robot Man" by Jamie Horton. It was a hit here and not the now better known version by Connie Francis.

Remind If I forget! Or you could check Amazon!

Something tells me I'll be having their AMAZING Chocolate Layer Cake for dessert... or maybe just as my whole meal!

...Off to subway...

Hello, Tom.

I guess we're just playing tag. No one seems to be here now but me.

No one else's name appears at the top but mine for the moment.

I'm on my way out for the day to celebrate Christmas in July. I doubt if I shall be back before the new notes. I hope everyone has a pleasant and safe evening.

I shall be listening to Michael Bublé's "Let It Snow".
there is snow on our Mountains. It is a far more sensible day to eat a traditional "English" Christmas lunch than in the middle of our summer.

I'm back from a lovely dinner at Good Enough To Eat, where I just gobbled down the most yummilicious strawberry shortcake ever. I met DRs Jose, Rodzinski, and TPunk there and we celebrated Rodzinski's new job and Jose's move to NYC. It was a wonderful night and the food, as well as the company, was excellent.
