Sunday morning greetings! In an hour or so, Richard and I will be off to Cincinnati for him to conduct morning prayer. We'll probably have lunch with Rob and Mary Linda. Beyond that, we have no definite plans for the rest of my one-day weekend.

Happy Birthday to DR Laura.
Hopefully you will get to eat some good cake!

It's amazing how many presents a 3 year old can get. I guess when you invite 60+ people to various parties you will get lots of gifts!
She is obcessed with cinderella. And playdough. And watching little dora movies on the wall.
And her new build-a-bear. i'm not sure if they have that in the US (i'm guessing yes). You pick a stuffed animal that has no stuffing in it. They stuff it for you while you wait and you buy it clothes.
My niece has gone to the store a few times and wanted this panda (which is always sold out). So they got more in. And she dressed it like cinderella. Oy! It looks pretty funny though.
My mom bought her this plastic jewelry kit from costco and she is obcessed with that too. We played it on friday night and she said, "oh thank you so much for coming to my house to play jewelrys". Actually it was fun!

Tonight on tv we have the red carpet for the emmys 6-8pm.
And the emmys 8-11pm+.
Here we also have the first hour of tomorrow's HEROES. I"m not sure exactly what it is. But i'm glad it's on today because tomorrow is 2hour HEROES/2 hour DANCING WITH THE STARS, and GOSSIP GIRL/ONE TREE HILL.

re: the salad bar thing (in grocery stores).
I guess it's what you're used to. Cause the idea of having areas to eat in the stores also surprised me. Although when i thought about the IGA here (that has all the already made foods) does have a small seating section.
It also seems weird that at $6/8/lb it could be cheaper to buy the salad bar than buy the stuff for a salad to make yourself. Here you can get a whole head of lettuce (or lettuce in a bag) for $1.

I will definitely be watching the emmys. And the red carpet show on E!

My DS and I went for a very early breakfast at Denny's. At another table, a couple of obnoxious men were giving the waitress a hard time. They not only stiffed her a tip, but tried to get out of paying most of their bill (which was under ten dollars anyway).

Good morning, all! DR FJL, I'll meet you at 12:30 outside 37 Arts, and I'm looking forward to the show and visiting with you.
This morning I've got some shopping for groceries and a bit of proofing on the HUCK FINN. Around 11:30 I think I'll start walking down 9th Avenue to the show. I don't believe I'll walk the entire way, but I'd like to get to 57th Street at least before boarding a 9th Avenue bus.

I haven't watched a complete Emmy Awards show since Powers Booth won a Best Actor Emmy.
I will not be watching tonight.
There is this show on HBO called "True Blood" which I will be watching, though.

Good morning!
I had the longest night's sleep I've had in months, and it was nice. Of course, I'm running behind this morning on things I wanted to accomplish, but it's nice to sleep in for a change, even when unplanned. The continuing cool weather helps.

I will record the Emmys, but I can't spare those hours to watch it live. I'll be continuing with watching CSI: NY episodes trying to get through the box before street date on Tuesday. I should make it easily, but I'll miss the street date for that Danny McBride comedy film and for FRIDAY THE 13TH-The Series which I also have to review.

Thank you, AMC, for not broadcasting a new episode of MAD MEN tonight. With the competition of the Emmys, they're rerunning the "Three Sundays" episode tonight.

I did want to take a second to thank DR Ben for the continuing series of theater views/reviews. Those of us who can't make it to NYC regularly really enjoy living it through your eyes and ears. I hope you will continue to share your thoughts with us about these shows.

And since it is Sunday, and since I didn't get out of bed until around 11:30, I went ahead and made myself a nice breakfast/brunch: two eggs (over easy), bacon, and a whole wheat English muffin. And, of course, a glass of orange juice (freshly squeezed by someone else).

I don't believe any of us said it was cheaper to buy from the salad bar, in fact, it's much more expensive - in the long run - to buy from a salad bar than it is if you started from scratch. The salad bar is a "convenience", and sometimes it's worth the extra cents (and dollars) to have all your salad fixings pre-washed and pre-chopped and pre-sliced for you. -Instead of having to buy a whole head of lettuce, and then not eating all of it before it starts to go bad in the fridge.
-
Hmm... Today's Featured Flavor of Frozen Custard at Shake Shack is "Cannoli". Hmmm... :)
-
Two loads of laundry done (great minds think alike, TD) now I'm off to a brunch. She didn't say it was for her birthday but said "No gifts" well, what on earth. think I'll stop and get a card and if it's a Birthday party I can go in the bathroom, sign it and at least have a card. It will be fun, by the river with a jazz trio. I'm looking forward to it,.

This must be a "Theme Day" - I'm doing laundry too. But it should be finished in the dryer soon, and then I can head to wherever I end up heading.

Today is the annual BC/EFA Broadway Flea Market (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/121519.html), and I may give a quick pass-thru though there. However, the past two years, each time I've gone towards the end of the day and end up taking home a bag of "bargains". And said bag of bargains are still sitting in their bags on the floor of my bedroom, so... ::)
*AH! It looks like there are some members of the HHW's extended family that will be appearing at the Flea Market this afternoon.

I guess I shall jog now - I was going to start fifteen minutes ago, but the sun was blanketed by clouds - it's now peaking out, so here we go.

I just returned from said Flea Market and had a very good time. I saw but did not speak to Mr. Spiritas. He was otherwise occupied but I did see many good friends and a former Dear Poster who knows another former Dear Poster. LC (many of you may not remember her) who knows Jason. They don't know each other except for a couple of quick meetings years ago but she does know who Jason is. LC was talking to a merch person who was talking about Avenue Q and I mentioned Jason and that's how the whole thing started. New York is really a small town when it comes to theatre and theatre-related people.
Jose, you're right about bags of bargins going unused. Yes, the money goes to a good cause but if it's sitting in a bag for a year it doesn't do much good.
My niece and nephew are becoming musical theatre geeks (thanks to their funny uncle) so I bought my nephew a Lion King t-shirt from the Chicago company and a DVD highlights of Jersey Boys (his parents have OKed it) and I bought my niece Legally Blonde stationary and the CD sampler from LB and I got for both of them a CD sampler of hits from Lion King, Little Mermaid and Mary Poppins. I got myself a copy of Lovemusik for $10. It was a good trip uptown.
Oh, yes, I also got my ticket to Billy Elliot. I'm seeing it on October 14th from the last row of the Balcony ($41.50) at the Imperial Theatre. The box office isn't open yet for Shrek so I don't have a ticket yet. I'm waiting to see what kind of mailer or TDF offer might appear. I have to print out the Playbill discount for All My Sons since it's not yet appeared on TKTS. And then, later in the season there is White Christmas. I'm so busy I've exhausted myself 8)

I don't believe any of us said it was cheaper to buy from the salad bar, in fact, it's much more expensive - in the long run - to buy from a salad bar than it is if you started from scratch.
I think that depends on the nature of the ingredients and how often in a given week you intend to have salad.
If your idea of salad is one kind of lettuce, some tomato and a dressing, fine. But if you like a mix of greens, cucumbers, onions, mushrooms, beets, etc. and don't plan on more than four salad servings in a week, the salad bar can be less expensive. (We often go with the bagged mixed greens augmented with a selection from the salad bar - and I like the pickled beets and marinated mushrooms!) After my salad is served I often augment it with avocado and anchovies.

Back from church, lunch at Chipotle, and a bit more Krogering.
I wish we could go to the BC/EFA Flea Market for some small items for my contribution to my department's Staff Day raffle basket. We're doing "Our Favorite Things" and I'm doing an "I <heart> New York" gift. So far, I have a tin that says "Hershey's Times Square," that I'll fill with kisses, and 3 bookmarks. Anyone want to contribute anything else?
I decided upon the NYC theme after ruling out raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens.

I did the little bit of work I had to do and sent it off. I then did my weekly weigh - lost another three pounds, for a total of twenty-three thus far. By next Sunday I'm hoping it's at least twenty-five, and then there's just another five to go before I figure out exactly how much more I want to lose.

I stopped at a Jamba Juice on the way home from church (where I got to see DRAlura- the face in the misty light) to get one of my favorite smoothies (although I don't think the term had been coined when I first started going there). I considered getting a wheatgrass shot. I've had them before, and they're supposed to be very good for you, but I feel like I'm burping up the lawn for the rest of the day. You end up smelling like someone just mowed.

I watched Thursday night's SMALLVILLE while I cooked and ate lunch. A pretty good episode with the return of Justin Hartley as Oliver Queen as a regular on the show rather than as a recurring character. He will be a hunky addition to the cast. And I always love to see Alan Ritchson as Aquaman even if he didn't get much screen time. He's been working out A LOT since he was last on the show! He had the best physique of any of the guys.
Show was pretty good until Clark was swooped up as he was dying, and then the writing went to pot. We never saw how the others escaped from where they were being held, and the explanation of healing Clark just didn't make any sense. Yes, our sun is what has given Clark his powers; that's straight from the mythology of the comics, but the sun is the sun whether it's 93 million miles away for 60 million miles away. Why wasn't it restoring his powers all along? Just stupid writing.

Then I watched three more episodes of CSI: NY. All of them were entertaining. (I meant to mention last night that in the Halloween episode, Bruce Dern, once an Oscar-nominated actor, had about a three minute throwaway part as a cemetery maintenance man. He didn't figure into the mystery or anything. Baffling that a wonderful actor would be tossed such a nothing role.)
-
I watched two bonus featurettes which were on Disc 2. One had to do with the "Down the Rabbit Hole" episode dealing with virtual worlds. The other had to do with that Halloween episode which was directed by Joe Dante. No mention at all of Bruce Dern in that feature.
-
Speaking of salads, when you mentioned Grapefruit sections, all I could think of was Louella Parsons when she lunched daily at the Brown Derby. The Brown Derby had introduced a signature dessert (an orange chiffon cake that was a top secret recipe for about 30 years -- all of them baked by this sweet little queen in his kitchen and delivered to the Brown Derby and various stars' homes for parties, a fascinating story, actually -- he wouldn't even give the recipe to Eleanor Roosevelt despite her demands). Since "Lolly" was fat and boozy, she decided that that it would be fewer calories if it were a grapefruit chiffon cake because as she so wisely stated, "Everyone knows you lose weight by eating grapefruit." Have another drink, Louella.

Traffic in this City seems to be more screwed up than ever , since the city government seems to be apathetic about it, and it's ridiculous. After walking DR FJL to his door, a bus arrived, completely packed, so I refused to join the others who desperately, and stupidly in my opinion, force themselvesonto an already packed vehicle. After another 15 minute wait and watching three empty buses going uptown with NEXT VEHICLE PLEASE on their banners, I figured fuckit and took a taxi. It was 4:00 EST so the matinees were still in performance and I have no idea why 10th Avenue was so packed with traffic today.
As to ABOUT FACE, another good show with great potential, two really wonderful duets, good cast, great direction and choreography, and I wish it well. I think it needs trimming and tightening in Act Two, but it's in very good shape. Afterwards I said hello to Barbara Walsh and Pam Myers, who introduced me to Heather Macrae. Before the show, I saw Bruce Doctor, who played percussion, and his wife sat with DR FJL and me. In the audience I saw my friends Peter Filichia, Janet Watson, and Mark Falconer. It was all quite festive.

He behaved at church, I want you all to know.
You mean, he didn't stand up during the sermon and yell, "UNDERPANTS!"??

Classic Orange Chiffon Cake
Serving Size: 16
Jean Anderson, in The American Century Cookbook, says a California hobby
cook named Harry Baker invented the chiffon cake and baked it for
Hollywood functions and the famed Brown Derby restaurant. He wouldn't
divulge the secret to his high-rising cake until he sold the recipe to
General Mills in 1947. The secret was vegetable oil, and General Mills, in
the company's 1950 Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook, called it the "first
new cake in a hundred years.'' This recipe is from Anderson's book.
Cake
5 Egg whites
1/2 teaspoon Cream of tartar
1 pk Yellow cake mix
3 Egg yolks
3/4 cup Orange juice
1/2 cup Vegetable oil
1/4 cup Frozen orange juice

1 teaspoon Grated orange peel
Glaze
2 cups Confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons Orange juice

in a medium bowl. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2-3
minutes Place cake mix, egg yolks, orange juice, oil, orange juice
concentrate and orange peel in large bowl. Beat on low speed 1 minute.
Stop. Scrape down sides of bowl with rubber spatula. Increase speed to
medium. Beat 2 minutes Batter should look well blended. Turn beaten egg
white out on top of batter. fold whites into batter until mixture is light
but well combined. Pour batter into ungreased 10" tube pan, smoothing top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and top of cake springs back
when lightly pressed with tip of finger. Remove pan from oven and
immediately turn upside down on the neck of a glass bottle to cool for 1
hour. run long, sharp knife around edge of cake. Invert onto wire rack.
then invert again onto serving platter, right side up.

Good Afternoon!
I believe I'm already feeling a bit of "noshtalgia" for the double dip of Cannoli Frozen Custard I just finished. It was really, really, really (that's three really's) good. Not only did it have bits of citron in it, but there was even crushed and crumbled cannoli shells in the ricotta cheese-fortified frozen custard base. Yum!

DR elmore - Take the subway.
I'm guessing the 8th Avenue Street Fair, the Broadway Flea Market and the usual Sunday afternoon "race" to and through the Lincoln Tunnel probably contributed to the usually horrid traffic situation in midtown west on Sunday afternoons.

Oh!
DR elmore - I keep meaning to ask(?) you if it's possible that they've been filming segments for the new "Electric Company" in your 'hood? I know they've been popping up all over NYC the past couple of weeks.

Jose, did you go down to the Flea Market?
No, I didn't. By the time I finally made it out of the house and down to midtown, it was the post- matinée madness, so I just headed on down to Koreatown (32nd Street) where I had some scrumtious chicken and vegetables in black bean sauce (Korean style). Then I walked on down to Madison Square Park for dessert.
And now I think I'm going to walk down to Union Square to check out clearance sale, of sorts, at Virgin.

There is no 10th Avenue subway, as you know, DR Jose. I really think 37 Arts is in the middle of nowhere and it's a godawful location to get to. There should be no reason either why the 10th Ave busses are so sporadic.
I was told twice by crew members that it was LAW & ORDER.

The Sara Lee Heritage
Sara Lee was 8 years old when Charlie Lubin, a bakery entrepreneur, decided to name his new line of cheesecakes after his daughter, Sara Lee. His company was purchased in 1956 by Consolidated Foods, where Mr. Lubin continued to serve as a senior executive for many years. In 1985, Consolidated Foods changed its name to Sara Lee Corporation. Although Sara Lee has never had a management role at the corporation, she has appeared in some television advertisements for our bakery products. In her words, her father told her the product “had to be perfect because he was naming it after me.” Today Sara Lee is a philanthropist who spends most of her time supporting the education and advancement of women and girls in science.

Alex Rybeck sent me a joke!
A teacher in Elmira , New York , who is a McCain supporter, asked her
4th grade class, "How many of you are McCain fans?"
Not really knowing what a McCain fan is, but wanting to be liked by the
teacher, all the kids raised their hands, except for Little Johnny.
The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different.
Little Johnny said, "Because I'm not a McCain fan."
The teacher asked, "Why aren't you a McCain fan?"
Johnny said, "Because I'm a Democrat."
The teacher asked him why he's a Democrat. Little Johnny answered,
"Well, my Mom's a Democrat and my Dad's a Democrat, so I'm a D emocrat."
Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, "If your mom was a moron and
your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?"
With a big smile, Little Johnny replied, "That would make me a McCain
fan."

It was pretty much his occupation baking hundreds of cakes a day out of his house (with an "assistant") for a number of years). The guy had been an insurance salesaman or something in some other state, had a family but got caught doing something to someone in a men's room. It being the early 20's he skipped town. His family did not know his whereabouts until years after he died. He was obsessed with keeping the recipe a secret to the point of disposing of the vegetable oil bottles (since that's what made the cake lighter and fluffier). It's one of those stories you read and wonder if the man ever knew true happiness.

This book is certainly not a masterpiece, but it's a fun read nonetheless:

He is touring in his one man show based on this book. He is a hoot and a wonderful evening in the theater. So if it comes your way I recommend it. LJ stays after the shows and sells his books, takes pictures and meets and greets.
But after reading this book I am not sure I really wanted to know what I now know about him. I rather just watch his performances in comedy shows.

By way of explanation, Groban did a medley of TV theme songs. But he did them in the voice of each show. His take on South Park was spot on. This one is gonna make YouTube easily.

He came to Richmond a few years ago to perform in his other show, Hysterical Blindness and Other Southern Tragedies That Have Plagued My Life Thus Far. First of all, what a very funny show, and what a very funny man.
What was really kind of endearing was that he actually came to Richmond to do the show for a very small company in a very small theatre, and for basically no money.

Yes, that story broke last week. And a true tragedy. The company added a chemical to the milk so that it would test higher for protein content. Alas, it also made it poisonous to the children it was meant to nourish.

And, I have to say, I was very impressed with the non- and bi-partisan "Get out and vote!" pleas too.

Wondering:
Has any other show won six consecutive Emmy Awards as best program like the Amazing Race has?
-
I can't believe I got so many things watched. All due to that fabulous invention called the DVR.
First, I watched five more CSI: NY episodes. That leaves five more for tomorrow.

Unless SESEME STREET has, I don't think so.

Next I watched TRUE BLOOD. Best episode yet, I thought. Really starting to dig deep into these characters to see what's making them tick, and I'm loving it.

I did think that Glenn Close looked very beautiful tonight, but Sally Field looked pretty rough, and her hair looked a mess, not in a good way.
-
By now, it's 10 p.m. so I go to the DVR and start speeding through the Emmys (They had already been on two hours at that point.) I was only interested in seeing which nominees were there and who won and listening to the speeches if I liked the winner.
At any rate, by 10:23, I had caught up to the show! That's two hours and twenty-three minutes of show that I watched in 23 minutes! It's the ONLY way to watch a show like this.

She did look beautiful, but so did Kyra. She looked quite stunning tonight, I thought.
-
Next, I watched GENERAL HOSPITAL: NIGHT SHIFT on SoapNet. There is a gay doctor on the show, and this Tuesday, Chad Allen begins a three episode arc as his love interest, so I wanted to get to know this character.
Obviously, I sped through that show, too.
-
I may not be caught up at HHW, but I am completely caught up on reviews, which is a major blessing. Hallelujah! (yes, I'm a bum).
-
Then, I finished watching the Emmys which were wrapping up with the last three categories: reality host, Best Comedy, and Best Drama, none of them surprises.
-
I'm going to write for a little while and then head down to bed.
Good night!

'cause IF I tune in it will only be to see the Smothers Brothers and the Laugh-In thing - what channel?

In which Emily Post column did Jeremy Priven find that kissing a baby before it is born is OK?

I feel like I'm in another reality watching the Emmys. I don't know who two-thirds of these people are, and I don't WANT to know. The "hosts" are singularly unfunny and terrible, and even Tommy Smothers was a disappointment - for some reason I thought it was a tribute to the brothers and that THEY were up there together. Well, I read a whole long magazine while glancing at the TV. I'm done, though, but I've left it on so I can hear it.

Loved the end of Laura Linney's speech. ;)

Later in the show the Gang of Five comment that Jimmey Kimmel told them at rehearsal that their intro number wasn't working - they should have listened!

I watched TRUE BLOOD. Yep, it was the best episode yet, but, knowing the novels, there are still better things to come. . .finally, a mention of Eric.
Lois Smith certainly knows the art of acting.
Then I caught up with another Hitchcock film which I had never seen: THE WRONG MAN. It's very sad and melancholic. I've never been a Henry Fonda fan, but Vera Miles' performance is perfect.
Once again Peter Bogdonavich in his ascot and lilac shirt all over the meager documentary.

I loathe Peter Bogdanovich and his prissy, uppity commentaries and pronouncements.

"The Andromeda Strain" was nominated for best mini-series??

It didn't win, of course.

Well, just remember, the reason you didn't know two-thirds of those people is because you don't watch television.
*And I'm sorry I called it a "tribute". It appeared to be being set up that way, but then... So, yes, you can blame me. However, Tommy Smothers was not there to be funny. He was there to accept a "postponed" Emmy award.

Methinks "guest" needs a clarification.

I'm listening to Take Flight. I saw this at, I think, its first workshop or reading or whatever it was. Not much has changed, I must say. I love David's music, but this isn't his finest hour and you'd think after eight years it would have gotten better. Richard's lyrics are fine, but as with a lot of his lyrics I find they're technically proficient and filled with good craft, but somehow just don't enhance characters.
-
The show's big ballad has been turned into a duet - it was a female solo when I saw it. The tune, for those who know their Shire or who have David Shire At The Movies CD know that the glorious tune was not written for Take Flight, but for the film Old Boyfriends.
The voices on this recording are okay but not stellar. When I saw it either Rebecca Luker or Christiane Noll sang it (can't remember which).

Those British musical theatre stars really aren't known for their incredible singing, you know. :-X

'True Blood' Spoilage

I had it in my mind that the dog was actually Sam Merlotte, Sookie's boss, and I say that because of the way the collie looks over her and because Bill told Sookie that some vampires were shape shifters. Now, I know we saw Sam sitting on his porch in daylight and that the dog came up to him and Sam said, "Hey, brother!" And now I have to ponder the clues I thought I was getting...especially the one Tara not only noticed in bed but mentioned to Lafayette -- that Sam "barks" in his sleep. Something is up, and it may be that Sam has a gift, too. The collie might be a sort of medium. Now...I know TD knows what this is all about but I haven't read the books,so I don't know at all. And truth be told, I'd rather discuss it as the shows reveal things rather than have it revealed by someone who knows the series, so....if anyone decides to contrast the show with the books, please put that in your spoiler warnings to help me stay away from learning too much too soon. :D djkjkfjkljk jklajjkl; ;lk j;lkj ;lkj;ldfkj;l kj;ija;lkj;iljfa;oijaj; a;ikasf; ljf;lkj af;lkasd ;lasdf; lkajdsf;lkjdf;lkjsdf;lkasjdf;lskjfa;sldkjfas;ldkfj;lkjkjkl;sfdljk;asdfjkl;ajkl;ajk jk.

I'm watching Jimmy Kimmel's Big Night Stars and most of it's very funny...for the most part. I just don't get the humor of Tracey Morgan. The Michael Phelps segment was cute and Selma Hayak was very funny! I haven't watched the last part with the five reality hosts of the Emmys, yet. I just remembered that I've seen a "leaked" clip of the fight between the hosts. :)
