"Big Brother 6" Spoilage:

It appears that one bit of news has leaked out of the BB house...and it's that Jennifer was evicted.

I knew the disciples would pick Maggie over Jenn.

And here's a show tune reference for DR Elmore3003:

"This can't be love because I feel so well!
"No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs!"

DR Jason:  Take heart.  The theme from "The Golden Girls" also has the line:

"And if you threw a party...invited everyone you knew...you would see the biggest gift would be from me...and the card attached would say, 'Thank you for bein' a friend.'"

GOod morning. I awoke to another sweltering morning with highs today predicted in the mid-90s. Another good day to stay inside and drink soda and lemonade.

Peggy Lee:

I loved the songs she sang in PETE KELLY'S BLUES, especially "Sugar, Sugar."

Of course, "Fever," "Lover," "It's a Good Day," and "He's a Tramp."

And isn't it ironic that when Decca put out the "cast album" for the movie WHITE CHRISTMAS, since Rosemary Clooney was under contract to Columbia Records, her songs were sung by Peggy Lee. I'm not sure any of the selections on the WHITE CHRISTMAS LP were from the soundtrack. I think they were all re-recorded for the album.

I haven't listened to it in years.

I'm thinking I'll put ALEXANDER on tonight and probably watch FOLLOW THE FLEET in the early afternoon while I'm cooking and eating my lunch.

Good Morning!

I'm up!  I'm up!

-Well, at least I'm outta bed...  And now I have to get ready to meet DRs TPunk and Rodzinksi in a few.  It's a bit overcast right now, but I'm not exactly sure if that will have any bearing on what we'll be doing this afternoon...

Umm...

OK...

-Yes, I'm still waking up...

Reading about DR Jason's infatuation brings back such wonderful memories. And DR George's comments last night about the fun of falling for someone are completely true.

I keep looking, but it hasn't happened to me in a quite a while. [sigh]

Oh, well, John Schlesinger is calling, so I think I'll rejoin him now prepping MIDNIGHT COWBOY and getting ready to deal with the international reaction to FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD.

Good morning all!

DR Jose, if you all are going to the zoo, please, please, please take many, many, many pictures!  

Is it the one in Central Park?  I AM going to see it when I get there in October.  Well, at least I hope I do.

Guess what I watched last night?

The first half of "What If", thanks to DR Jane!

I really, honestly enjoyed it.  Can't wait to watch the 2nd half tonight.

My Mother thought the songs were clever.  She doesn't quite understand when I tell her that Bruce wrote them and I can "talk" to him here on the board.  

She knows I'm going to NY and she's thrilled that I'm going to meet some nice people but she doesn't understand how I met you all.   :)

Here are my choices for the Topic of the Day:

Peggy Lee:  "Fever," "Is That All There Is?"

Rosemary Clooney:  "Hey, There"

Ella Fitzgerald:  "A Tisket, a Tasket," "How High the Moon," "Mack the Knife" (especially from her "Ella In Berlin" recording!) ;D

Well, I have the exciting task of going to look a new lawn mower today.  

I swear that by using the electric mower I really do at least three times the lawn.  I have to pull the cord all over the place and go back around places so I don't get wrapped up, etc.  

I really don't want a mower that you have to pull to start--I've had those and they are so hard to get going.

Home Depot's website had one that might be perfect for my needs.  A Toro 22 inch Electric Start Self Propelled mower so I think I'm going to give it a look/see.

Anyway, wish me luck!

Thanks for the picture of the Japanese Gaston & Belle, DRGEORGE!

Why yes, DRFRANCOIS - I am familiar with Jerome Robbins - and particularly the extent of what I think is Miss Betty Garrett's "talent."  Liked her best in the movie version of MY SISTER EILEEN - funny, and natural.  Maybe she just didn't get a part that fit her, or I haven't seen it.

Hmmmmm....thanks for the RED GARTERS report, MR BK. (And hopefully you received my email, re: address).  I agree that the songs are the best part of the movie.  And I am not certain that that horse was supposed to fall down and slide on his haunches through that one scene.....Daley's facial expression is priceless.  Clooney's vocal on "Goodbye, Jane.  Goodbye, Joe" is so beautiful.  And the title number is a LOT of fun.  Gene Barry and Joanne Gilbert make a good pair as well.

TOD:  hmmmmm.  Will have to think.

Love MOST all of Clooney.  The other two I don't know many songs by....just the usual suspects, I guess.  They are fine, but their styles are not what I usually like to listen to.

I will just say that Clooney's "Love, You Didn't Do Right By Me" in WHITE CHRISTMAS is a highlight for me.

Good luck with the lawn mower, DRDANISE....sounds like just the one you need.  We have a Toro self-starting mower and it's great!

Is the speed easy to set, DR JRand?  I've never had a self Propelled mower and I'm a bit worried I won't be able to hold it back.  Can you just picture me being dragged acrossed the lawn!  LOL!  ;D

I'm up, I'm up.  Unlike the last few days, very sunny out right now.

So far only one guess in our treacherous trivia contest, but it's a correct one.

May I ask a question:  Has the Internet turned a generation into the biggest bunch of grammar and spelling-challenged people in history?  I was perusing, oh, yes, I was perusing, and this is the thread title I came upon: The Fools At Paramount Loose More Money.  I ask you.  And it's not just in that thread - "loose" for "lose" has become the most misused (and ridiculously so) word of the last decade.  Do they not teach these things in school anymore?  Or do the majority of students just sit there, too lazy to pay attention to even the most rudimentary uses of words?  I think we know the answer, in this era of generational laziness and feeling of entitlement.  Not everyone, I know, but certainly, at least to these eyes, the majority.
