The line was quite in character; Sue is always bragging about her grand accomplishments, real and imaginary - we suspect usually the later. She is a cartoon - the Grand Antagonist; we should resent every breath she draws.

Tonight is a huge night for TV with returning favorites like GREY'S ANATOMY (two hours tonight), THE MENTALIST, and CSI.
We have the premiere of the intriguing FLASH FORWARD on ABC.
Shows that have already had their season premieres also show up with new episodes tonight: BONES, FRINGE, THE OFFICE, PROJECT RUNWAY, SUPERNATURAL, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, COMMUNITY, and PARKS & RECREATION.

You're way too generous with this show.
Geez, DR Jose, you don't find "my hovercraft is full of eels" to be a useful Hebrew phrase??
Good morning, all! I have two short pieces to score for FINIAN'S RAINBOW, and I have a day home to do them. Beyond that, the apartment is looking more and more tidy, although I need a day to do nothing but organize my 2009 receipts; I'm finding too many taxi slips everywhere but where they should be.
As to last night's GLEE, I don't like it much. I really dislike almost all of the characters: the wife and girlfriend are lying bitches, the butch character's line about "accepting an honorary degree" - who whould give her an honorary degree and in what field? - seemed completely out of character, our other leading lady is an egocentric virago who I wish would shut up for a while, and the men seem to be passive whimps allowing these unpleasant women to walk over them. My favorite character last night was the father because he had a few surprises in his onscreen time.
At this point, the only thing I really like about the show is Jane Lynch, who I've enjoyed since her appearances on TWO AND A HALF MEN a few years ago.

I'll have to look for that in reruns. SHe was a great foil for Charlie Sheen.
Looking her up on IMDB, I'm amazed that she's been around for so long without finding a break-out role until now on GLEE.

I've also put in an order for CRY FOR US ALL. I've heard a very scratchy copy of this a few years ago but still enjoyed it. Can't wait to hear a clean version!
No one is interested in visiting the store today....so far....except one man with six personalities who just wanted to talk.
Part of today will be spent in typing up my notes from last night's reading and putting down my general thoughts about why some things are stubbornly refusing to work, some things that need to be removed in total, and what needs to be added.

They are cute from a distance, Julie. Their eyes are not pretty. Although one isn't too bad.
Yesterday I went to see A Steady Rain, one of the new Broadway shows with Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig. I was joking with people beforehand that I didn't know whether I'd be seeing Daniel Craig in the show, because I was pretty sure my eyes wouldn't leave Hugh Jackman.
The show was wonderful. I truly loved it. Both actors - yes -- I did watch both of them! were riveting. Completely in character, they quickly made me forget I was watching Hugh and Daniel, and I instead quickly became engrossed in the stories they were relating. Very intense. We sat in our seats for a couple minutes after it was over, until we felt ready to move. (Well - re-sat in our seats -- there was, of course, the very well deserved standing O).
Very packed house. Every seat was taken. And it was one of those rare shows where there is electricity in the air before it starts, while everyone is anticipating the start of the performance.

Glad to hear that no shoes dropped on DR Ben.
Congrats to DR Jane on the arrival of her dear grand nephew!
I really loved "Cougar Town" and "Eastwick" last night.
Both worked very well for me and my sensibilities. Paul Gross is a wonderful Darryl Van Horne! And how fun for Veronica Cartwright to "return" as Eastwick's favorite harbinger of doom.
Courtney Cox has another winner, I hope, with her role as a recently divorced mom determined to open her mind and date younger men. Her son is way cool beyond his years and her ex is wonderfully funny as a ne'er-do-well to whom she pays alimony and who takes a job cutting grass at his son's school. The kid is going to need therapy before he enters college, I'm sure.
Ben - I did not see people standing in the back last night, although I was not specifically looking for it. According to a post on another board, standing room is not available for preview performances, but they do expect to have it after opening night.
Thanks, Julie. I am trying. It really shouldn't have to be this hard.
I'll be going to The Vendy Awards (http://streetvendor.org/vendys/) this Saturday!

And I loved her as Julia Childs' sister in "Julie & Julia" too.
And, yes, she's been around for a while. Regardless of stardom, there's something to be said for career longevity.

Just goes to show how different our tastes are and yet all opinions are viable.
I did not like COUGAR TOWN. Oh, I could see it might be popular and fun, but I got tired of it long before it was over. I won't be checking back in on this one. Saves me another half hour (along with COMMUNITY that's a net of one hour of my life saved per week.)

I was able to catch the second half of COUGAR TOWN and I liked what I saw. Extrememly funny and Courtney Cox was wonderful (I loved the little bit she did in the mirror at the very end.) I just hope that the show's creators don't borrow too heavily from SCRUBS beyond the breakneck pace and casting Christa Miller.
EASTWICK, on the other hand, didn't do anything for me. I don't think it's bad--but I didn't find anything remarkable enough to keep me coming back.

Diff'rent strokes, natcherly.
I'm not at all surprised that GLEE is not catching on with everyone. It is soapy and over-the-top and won't be for everyone's taste. I'm enjoying it very much.

DR Jose in answer to your question regarding the last phrase on the yiddish site....
in her words:
"My hovercraft is full of eels..." comes from a Monty Python sketch - English for Forgeigners... and of course, in any language, that phrase is quite useful...
Have a good one, all DR's.. I'm about to hop into the ol' Honda and head down to Santa CRuz, to visit with my brother's oldest boy - after a lovely visit with my ol' pals and their exemplary pupster!! Oh, what fun was had by all!!
I'm sure if MBarnum's brother was my Fed Ex Guy he would actually bring the package, instead of hanging the missed call notices on the Sunday School building while there is actually someone in the office.
The third notice came today. Yesterday the sender called them and directed them to deliver the package to my house, which they agreed to do. I have been waiting all day. The pastor was in the office today.

And of being a good customer too. The folks at The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck (http://www.biggayicecreamtruck.com/) are nominated this year, and needed some extra staff to help them feed the masses. So, since Doug knew I had had some food service background - and my own set of knives - as well as a knowledge of his product, well...
It will be a long day, but I'm sure it will be filled with fun and food (of course)!
DR Sam $500 per month deposit for a pet doesn’t sound bad compared to what Craig is paying for his pets. Not only did he pay a pet deposit, he pays extra rent every month, a fact that was not shared with him until after he had settled on moving there.

I pay extra rent for my cats - and one of them is dead.
I've been skimming through Mackenzie Phillips' new book. I am not mentioned. My friend Mike Lembeck is, as is his then-wife, Barbara Deutsch. I am not mentioned. Given the nature and frankness of the book, that is probably fine. Oh, and I am not mentioned. At least, not yet, although we are now way past the year in which I would have been mentioned. I know she remembers our very brief but very amusing time together (platonic - get your minds out of the gutter) because we talked about it twice at the Hollywood Collector's Show.
DR TCB would the monthly rent be reduced for one cat? I suppose you have left it alone since you still hope to get another cat.
I despise FedEx. That is all.

Has anyone ever watched a British series from the 1970s called MURDER MOST ENGLISH?
Luck has shined upon us. Anthony is getting ready to burn the compilation CD for a certain movie we love (see my posts from Labor Day weekend if you forgot which movie). He has been looking for the George Jones Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes with no luck. Lo and Behold, he stepped away from the computer and I decided to try again. I went directly to Youtube, typed in the song title and the first thing to come up was Mr. Jones singing the song. It was added about 20 hours ago by someone named vortextx (thank you whoever you are). We now have a complete song list. I will have to e-mail a friend and tell him that we have the song and no longer need him to send us a copy.

Darn, NetFlix does not have this.
And when I finished the meeting I came to the computer and had an e-mail I've been praying would come - I've just landed a CD release that is a holy grail for me, and which has now got my foot in the door at a studio that heretofore was a closed door. I am STOKED! Not sure how long it will take to get the tapes, get them transfered, and begin work, but I'm hoping in the next two weeks, which will mean I can get it released before the end of the year. Very exciting, as it involves a score I have loved large since the day I saw the film back in the early 1960s.
Well, yes, actually this (http://acornonline.com/murder-most-english/p/14240/) series?

I slept almost the enitire day. That is all.
Laura DR - I can't even tell you how many times FedEx has left a tag on my door, when I've been sitting right here all along. It is utterly exasperating. Calling their Customer Service number does no good. They talk right around it and make you feel like somehow it is your fault. >:(
You need signs on all the door stating which one to use for deliveries. ::)
I always thought they would bring Zack back.
That was what made me think he would be returning-kind of odd. I preferred Zack to Sweets.
Yes, Virginia, there is still customer service department: I'm sure all of you who cling to my every post remember I had a mammothly expensive plumbing job done here a few days ago. Well they called to follow up and I told them that I was basically satisfied, but on one of the things they did I had been quoted $200 and ended up paying over $400 for. Well lo and behold they called back a day later, told me I was absolutely correct and that they were issuing a $232 refund back to my credit card! The receipt came today, with an additional $25 coupon to use on any other services I need from them. So for just a moment of decent service and accountability they have won a customer forever! :)
