Ginny we froze in Williamsburg and still had a wonderful time. That is a lot of shows in a short period of time.

I felt a bit cheated I didn’t time to see more shows in NY. It’s tough to do when you are busy visiting with friends. At least I saw the show I most wanted to see and got to the museums this trip.

Keith is playing a new computer game and there are very strange noises coming from the office.

Evening folks! Just jumping in with a real quick “Hi” tonight before I sign off.

What a busy day it has been!

I did want to wish Dan-in-Toronto a very, very, very happy birthday! You are missed!

Good travel vibes to DR Jose!

Good Check vibes to DR Elmore!

Happy Anniversary to DR VixMom and Dad!

And BK, I do hope that you know NOT to take a shower during a lightning storm! It’s dangerous! No messing around a sink, no taking a bath, no going into the pool, no talking on the phone and no standing near a large glass window! I live in the lightning capital of the world and those little safety tips have been drummed into my head since I was a kid!

Truly, please do be careful. Lightning is nothing to play with.

On that bright note, have a wonderful evening all! Just call me "Flash"!

Butterfly....that's what I meant!

I saw a grasshopper today just sitting on the stonework outside my house. I touched him and he just sat there staring at me.

Do you think it could be the beginning of the end?

Regarding the question about the worst boss you've ever had, surely the answer to that must be: the worst boss you've ever had is whoever is your boss at the present moment.

A happy haineshisway.com welcome to Al Paige, who we know from the Scarlet Street playground. Glad you joined us!

SUSPICION is not one of my favorite Hitchcocks.

Thanks to Elmore's mentioning it this morning, I put THE QUEEN OF SPADES in the player tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it again. It's been years since I had seen it and had forgotten quite a bit of it.

The DVD looked marvelous. Really, I only noticed one scratch running down the right side of the frame for about 30 seconds. Otherwise, it looked wonderful.

What is happening here at haineshisway.com? Have we fallen from our giddy heights? That would be a shame, wouldn't it?

And why is dear readers Sandra so damnably errant and truant?

Matt H. · « **Reply #162 on:** October 17, 2005, 08:12:35 PM »

Neither CBS comedy that I watched tonight was up to snuff. I still found OUT OF PRACTICE funnier than HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, but only marginally so.

Matt H. · « **Reply #163 on:** October 17, 2005, 08:14:38 PM »

CSI: MIAMI had a fun case tonight that featured three different scenarios for the same murder with three different perps. It was fun seeing all the clues eventually get sorted out to wind up with the correct killer.

And, for a change, I identified the correct murderer by about the halfway point in the story.

According to Amazon, I will have BATMAN BEGINS tomorrow, so I'm sure I will spend the afternoon/evening watching this film.

If for some reason it doesn't come, I'll pull OUT OF AFRICA off the shelf to watch selected moments to make sure the DVD still plays. Then, on to 12 MONKEYS.

Matt H. · « **Reply #165 on:** October 17, 2005, 08:20:29 PM »

EXTRAS had a funny/irritating episode. Prejudice seemed to be the theme, and the black-white episodes (one with Samuel L. Jackson) were funnier than the gay-straight episode (I think it was gay-straight; the writing was muddy and not exactly precise about the orientation of the man in question) which came off as sour,tactless, and basically unnecessary.

Good Evening! ..once again...

Greetings from Fairfax.

I managed to get everything packed up for my trip, and "compacted" the rest of my stuff at the apartment before hopping on the A down to Penn Station. And it looks like I should be able to fetch the rest of my stuff with just one trip up and back. -It's was kind of amazing to realize that I was able to live and function with relatively little "stuff". But I guess that's actually a good thing, progress of a sort. However, I am looking forward to settling down in NYC once I'm back there in February, and being able to "spread out" a bit.

In any case...

My 4:05 train didn't end up leaving until around 4:40. In the meantime, the 4:30 train - which I almost booked - did leave on time. Ah, well... What can you do? The trip down was uneventful, and I managed to get a good nap in too. We arrived at Union Station a little after 8:00, and I was at the Dunn Loring Metro stop at 9:00 where my Dad picked me up.

We made a stop at the big Korean supermarket on the way back home since he needed to buy some food and supplies for work. They had some amazing sales on produce - gallon containers of strawberries for $5.99, eight mangoes for $3.99, baby bok choy for $0.18/pound! I managed to pick up some vegetables for my late dinner, as well as some snacks for the week. -And then it was off to KFC to pick up the rest of dinner.

All is well is here at home. I think my parents still don't believe that I'm actually living in New York City.

And, "sadly" they didn't seem at all excited that I booked a Broadway show. They recognized "Elton John", but they did not identify with "Anne Rice", "The Vampire Lestat", nor "The Palace Theatre". So... But they're happy I'm employed - which, in the long run, is a good thing for me in the sense that it will hopefully stop those still-nagging, "Why don't you get a computer job?" questions. Parents... Gotta love 'em.

Yes, I failed to send birthday greetings earlier to FDR Dan-in-Toronto. Nice to see him pop in tonight if only for a post.

Matt H. · « **Reply #172 on:** October 17, 2005, 08:37:56 PM »

Supposed to get down into the 40s tonight. I have one window open upstairs and one window open downstairs to have some fresh air coming into the house. Also, I'd like the house to cool down as much as possible since the temps are starting to increase during the day starting tomorrow.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #173 on:** October 17, 2005, 08:38:25 PM »

Topic of the Day...

I don't think I've ever really had a bad boss, well, at least a really bad boss. And the one possible bad boss that I can think of right now was only "bad" due to the corporate requirements for the office. Otherwise, I've had decent bosses. I have had to deal with some slightly inept and disorganized conductors, but I think that's the norm for conductors.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #174 on:** October 17, 2005, 08:41:38 PM »

DR Jane - The sampler for In My Life is not that bad. However, just multiply that CD by about five or six times, and you have the equivalent for the complete score of the show. There's just so much "same". And the few attempts at variety and change of pace are either poorly written and/or were written for previous projects. *The one god-awful (pun intended if you've seen the show) moment for me is when the Dr. Pepper jingle is tweaked to become a "serious" moment about life and death. Eh...

Matt H. · « **Reply #175 on:** October 17, 2005, 08:42:00 PM »

Well, I'm going to pack it in for the night and head on down to bed.

Hope everyone has a pleasant evening.

Good night, all.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #176 on:** October 17, 2005, 08:43:24 PM »

...I also noticed a few other "things" before, during and after the performance of In My Life that started my Mr. Cynical persona to go into overdrive...

Are the ushers for Broadway shows normally hired by the producer?

Hmm...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #177 on:** October 17, 2005, 08:45:30 PM »

DR elmore - Glad to hear that one of your checks arrived today. I was hoping that at least one of mine would have arrived today too, but, alas, it didn't.

-And a dinner from Artie's courtesy of a mysterious benefactor... Hmm... Does this mean you'll start singing - or at least click-tracking - high E's?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #178 on:** October 17, 2005, 08:46:22 PM »

...Or have you entered a Shirley Temple movie?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #179 on:** October 17, 2005, 08:47:00 PM »

DR Jason - I hope you're feeling better and that your half-day at work did the trick.
