Meant to comment on your new furnace costs, DR MBarnum. I think I paid $3500 for mine back in 2000. It IS a lot of money, but think of it as an investment in your home. Plus., you can't live comfortably without it.

Great news, DR Jed! Will continue to cross fingers and toes until you get the official call.

Sorry, DR JRand. I know how frustrating that can be.

Jack Larson looks really good in this season, too. The couple of years between the first and second season filming give him just the amount of maturity to make him very appealing. Also his hair wasn't as closely cropped as it is in the color shows.

I watched another CSI: MIAMI episode before IN JUSTICE came on.

This one had to do with the death of a woman whose husband and his brothers own an aluminum siding business that's being sued. As usual, the case is much more complicated than it first seems.

IN JUSRICE had a sweet case about an innocent teenager convicted of killing his sister. Jason O'Mara had his best performance yet as Conti, identifying very strongly with the angelic-faced teenager. My favorite episodes of the series thus far.

THE BOOK OF DANIEL also got more complicated tonight. I'm loving this show which has only three more episodes to air. The ratings have not been strong, and sponsors are almost non-existent, so I suspect the remaining shows are all of it we're going to get.

In addition to the other shows I listed on the DVR for Friday Media Check, add tonight's MONK episode and the Vin Diesel movie THE PACIFIER. Judging from the awful reviews it got, the Diesel movie will probably be junk, but I'll give it a try anyway.

Well, it's been a busy day, and I'm tired, so I'm heading down to bed.

Good night, everyone!

Good Evening!

Good show tonight. Good energy all around.

And while talking with one of the guys about my run today, after giving him my route, he guessed I probably covered something more like six miles, if not six and a half!

Hi!
No time to catch up. I logged in earlier and then ended up watching Dancing with the Stars and In Justice. I made it through the short week without getting sick again, so I am very happy about that. I have much to do tomorrow, and I am very sleepy, so Good night. Oh, Paul got all inspired and cancelled our movie this afternoon to paint. That's cool. The sooner he finishes this mural, the sooner he can help me pack! Anyway, we're planning on Brokeback Mountain tomorrow. He really wants to see it, so I waited.

I must rest. Night

Congrats, DR Jed!

DR Jane - I hope the dust has been settling... Literally.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #163 on:** January 20, 2006, 09:34:21 PM »

Well, I'm sleepy... And after the run I had today, a good night's sleep would be a good thing... So...

Goodnight.

Just read that Anthony Franciosa died at age 77. Now there is a name you used to see a lot of.

watch Duck You Sucker (a sergio leone fim. It seemed to be the original uncut version with the Duck You Sucker end title eve though it is called Fistul of Dynamite. It is my favorite Leone fil, I had not seen it in years, and it holds up very well. Surprising rated PG with all the violence and the word f""k said at least 10 times. Running time was 2hrs and 40 minutes. which makes it 2 minutes shy of the Italian restored version of 162 minutes. It repeats later this morning east and west coasts.

bk - I'm playing auditions tomorrow for a production of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" and it's being directed by Evan Pappas. Do you have a message you'd like delivered or well wishes, etc? Is it silly to have him sign my "Lucky Stiff" CD or the "My Favorite Year" vocal selections?

bk · « **Reply #167 on:** January 20, 2006, 11:55:02 PM »

It's never silly to get these signed. Some of my favorite things are things I've gotten signed at various sessions.

Say hello for me - don't know if he'll remember me or not - it was a long time ago.

Back from tonight's show and a little gathering afterwards at the Eclectic Cafe. We had a little over half-a-house, not bad in the face of the merde that was shoveled our way this week - and all paid tickets, no freebs. Tomorrow should be more full. Tonight's audience wasn't terribly vocal but they seemed very taken with the show (except for the heavyset man sitting by himself in the back row - he came into the theater scowling, as if he'd just read every bad review, and apparently he'd taken them all to heart and prejudged the show - he sat there hating every minute of the first act and then left at intermission, which made me VERY happy indeed). More in the notes, which I must now hurry and write.
