Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in the zone and reeked of a marijuana cigarette and wine, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently having a marijuana cigarette and are in the zone.

And the word of the day is: GLAUCOUS!

And a very happy haineshisway.com twenty-first birthday to our former beloved dear reader Jenny. Wherefore art thou, Jenny.

Good morning!
-
Very glad to hear the great news about the benign biopsy results, DAW.
-
50,000 posts for Bruce!! That sets a pretty high standard there, Mr. bk.
-
A chilly start to the morning here, but I actually like that. It's great sleeping weather.
-
Well, the NYMF festival officially got under way last night, and continues for the next two and a half weeks, or so. I need to finish making my show choices.
-
Good morning!
Chilly here this morning (47) which made my walk brisk and invigorating. High will be 72 today which is near perfect weather for me. No rain in the forecast until Saturday.

TOD:
Used to love Roger WIlliams and had quite a few of his LPs. I don't have a single CD of his playing. Hadn't even thought about it until now.
-
Unless THE UNIT or FLASHPOINT arrives in the mail/UPS today, I'll have a day off. I have stacks of things I can watch, and I'd also like to revisit PINOCCHIO on Blu-ray without a notepad in my lap writing while I'm watching.
-
I'm also looking forward to watching last night's CASTLE while I eat lunch today and hopefully getting around to DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES before the day is finished.
-
Hello everybody! This is Mrs. Norman Maine!
-
DAW-- so happy and relieved about the good news for you and your ever lovin' DH!!
-
Congrats to BK on 50,000!
I think I need to outsource my posting.
-
Good news DR DAW and DP of DAW!

Good morning, all! My first stop this morning is 172nd Street, to drop off the last charts to the copyist, After that, down to the management office to trn in an invoice for the work and a stop at the St James stage door to drop off the copies of the scores to Rob Berman. After that, a visit to Toyland to accomplish some work there. That's the plan, anyway.
Today my check for AT&T finaly cleared, after a very long period of waiting. The utilities bill and rent chack, which I mailed at the same time, have not, and that worries me. Given the current nonsense at my local post office, I wonder if I can blame the fools running it? I need to mail in my health premium but I'm stuck until I get paid for a recording I worked on.
DR DAW, good news! Unless, of course, you were counting on being a wealthy widow.

Tuesday morning greetings! I've already been to the post office to get our rent check in the mail to our NYC landlady. Thanks for all the vibes that, I'm sure, helped us get our apartment for next month's visit.
DR Cillaliz (and others who may be interested), I found this one and the one we stayed in 2 years ago at 54th and 9th on

I am hoping that today Netflix will send me FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER.

Tonight on TCM at 10 p.m. EST, there is a movie that may be of interest to some DR's.
The preview titled it THE NIGHT DIGGER, the listings have it as THE ROAD BUILDER.
It is a 1977 English thriller with Miss Patricia Neal (THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL ) - and Mr Nicholas Clay (EVIL UNDER THE SUN) - with a possibility of about 10 minutes of an undraped Mr. Clay at the end of the movie.

Alas, that was never in the cards. :)

DR Laura, Donny Osmond was very good last night!
I find i'm enjoying him more than his sister (could be because he is a much better dancer than she was).

I've been wondering, as TCM begins to delve further and further into the latter part of the last century, exactly how far they will cross the line as far as airing films with adult content without any censorship. So far, they've left films like NETWORK and PHILADELPHIA pretty much intact, though those were aired at later hours. Time and Osbourne will tell, I guess...

TOD: SW Ohio favorite - guitarist Jim McCutcheon (http://www.wright.edu/music/faculty/mccutcheon.html). He's a regular at Middfest, our local international cultural festival that's coming up this weekend featuring Indonesia. We always try to catch at least one of his performances, especially the ones in the city commission chamber - great acoustics! One year, Richard, Rob, and I encountered Jim practicing in the parking garage - he's as personable as he is talented.
In 2003, the year of Ohio's bicentennial, the now-defunct Miami University public radio station produced a series of bicentennial minutes for which Jim did the background music. The tune was always "Beautiful Ohio," but he stylized it to match the mood of each vignette. When the topic was ladybugs, the music was playful; when it was Civil War casualties, it was somber.

DR DtM I think Futurama is like Naturama - it can be seen anywhere.

Heading down now to watch (finally!) that last Brett/Holmes adventure from THE CASE-BOOK, and then see if I can get through DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES before starting lunch or not.

I watched 10 episodes of THE PATTY DUKE SHOW last night. It was more fun than I remembered. It looks pretty good - and the cast is fine. The technical work is actually better than is thought. There is always only ONE scene in each show that features both cousins in the same shot as played by Patty. And the face of Patty's double is in evidence clearly a couple of times in some episodes.....
But it's a lot of fun - although Patty's hair is definitely out of control in some sequences. Breck!

Well, it's Tuesday. The little one (Manny) decided he wanted out this morning and wouldn't stop whining until he went out, so I'm up early on my last day of somewhat leisure before work begins tomorrow and continues up to seconds before we leave Sunday eve.
At the moment, I'm feeling better, which is such a good thing. Today, after a meeting with the Pastor, the Youth Minister, and another musician in the Parish (who drives me CRAZY) I'll go for a bike ride and then head home for the evening.
-
I looked over the Finale Ultimo, rewrote a few things and I'm off to photocopy. Then, a trek to 172nd Street and other places.

The Musician in the Parrish is the title of my new gothic romance.

I am wondering if "blowing sweet" is a bk-ism, or if that is generally accepted jazz terminology. ???

DR DAW: Please pass this sentiment along to Jayson -- "On the great playground of life, it is always better to be nine than it is to be four!
(At any rate, it's the "thought" that counts...yes!!??)
Give him a big hug from me!
-
Thank you, DR Ron Pulliam, and again to bk and all DRs for your kind thoughts. We are very blessed.
-
Meant to mention this yesterday...
They've been setting up right across the street from my office building for some location shooting of the James L Brooks movie that's been filming around town this summer. I need to keep my eyes open for appearances by Jack Nicholson, Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd.
I really do need to get myself a new camera...
-
Thank you, DR Ron Pulliam, and again to bk and all DRs for your kind thoughts. We are very blessed.
Please add mine as well, DR DAW!

Blowing sweet is mine own.

The oafs are back and noisier than ever. I just don't get it - they were DONE. And now they are not. I mean, there is furniture in the house, paintings on the wall, and yet they are using an electric saw and hammering and it's just nuts.

And I'm up.
-
So, I guess I wished Jenny an early birthday.
-
I have a plaster monkey at my house. ;D
-
I wonder if Plaster Monkey can be good friends with Monkey?

Good deed for the day - check.
Zach and I were able to reunite a stray dog in the neighborhood with its owner. :D

It is a gorgeous autumn day here in the NYC metro area, and it does my soul good.

I'm expecting my Blu-ray "The Wizard of Oz" box today from UPS...so I checked the tracking information and THIS is what greeted me:
OAKLAND, CA, US 09/29/2009 8:10 A.M. THE ADDRESS LABEL IS MISSING
OR ILLEGIBLE / THE ADDRESS HAS BEEN CORRECTED. THE DELIVERY HAS
BEEN RESCHEDULED
What that means is that my lot in life has DECIDEDLY not changed. Anything I look forward to with great excitement ALWAYS gets hosed by UPS.
-
These are not silent, DAW. Not silent at all. Not at 2 a.m. Not when I have milk.
-
Good Morning! Good Afternoon!
I'm up, I'm up... And, man-o-man, are my walls white!!!
-
Our handyman, Sammy, and his assistant for the day, Ray, knocked on the door at 8:30, and Ray started getting ready for today's paint job. Sammy said he had to head over to another property, but would be back in an hour. Well, almost four hours later... However...
Ray has been doing a great job! He just left for his lunch break, but he's already applied one coat all around, and a second coat to half of the room - including the ceiling. Once he gets back from lunch, he'll finish up the main work, and then work on the few bits of exposed wall in the kitchen and the area around the spiral staircase. It really does look like this will be a "one day job". YEAH!
*I'll leave it up to DR JMK to insert the applicable joke from The Producers. ;)
-
And, yes, once things were underway here, I somehow ended up taking a nap back in my bedroom. ;)
-
man-o-man, are my walls white!!!
So I've heard... ;)

DR JoseSPiano - did they consider using that non-fume paint?
Probably not. However, I think they're using "low fume" paint. It's truly not bothering me. -We also have the windows on the second floor open, and that's probably helping funnel the fumes out.
-
bk - Congrats on your new and truly lofty posting plateau!!

Laura, Donny and Marie have a new single and it's being played on BBC Radio 2 in a little while. They aren't specific about the time but it's being played on Chris Evan's Drive Time Show. If you see this and want to listen live just click this link.

DR JOSE a bucket of water in the center of the room will reduce fumes.

The show will be over at 2pm Eastern Time so if you see it after 11am you've missed it.

Thanks, Ben. I've got it on. They are talking about giraffes.

That's quite a trio!

It seems the jokes in COMMUNITY went over our heads. We won’t be watching.
To my great disappointment I accidentally recorded CASTLE on the east coast which does not record here. Sometimes the remote sticks & in my frustration to get it to work made a BIG error. We were really looking forward to watching it.

They finished their discussion of doughnuts and are now talking about traffic.

I would love to hear Donny sing Sinatra-style, which seems to be in style now, if I'm not mistaken.

It's not well known, but Michelangelo created several plaster monkeys for the Sistine Chapel. But upon viewing them, Pope Jullius II was quoted as saying, "Take those damn things down!"
-
LOL, Dan.
-
Good Afternoon, once again!
...And Sammy is now here, and he's started painting the kitchen!
*Of course, I cleared the rest of the stuff off the counters and on top of the fridge so that he would be able to do his work. -Pushing all of it a few inches away from the wall was simply not going to work. -Just sayin'.
-
The oafs are back and noisier than ever. I just don't get it - they were DONE. And now they are not. I mean, there is furniture in the house, paintings on the wall, and yet they are using an electric saw and hammering and it's just nuts.
If you've ever watched "Flipping Out" or any of those getting-a-home-ready-to-sell shows on TLC or HGTV, you would know that the work will continue right until the moment that the open house starts. -Is there a sign stating that an open house will be taking place?
-
I have a plaster monkey at my house. ;D
DR JRand - Is/was that the base for a glass table top?

To my great disappointment I accidentally recorded CASTLE on the east coast which does not record here.
What? Is your TiVO/DVR bi-coastal?

LOL...the football coach at Texas Tech has suspended one player and banned Twitter from all football-related facilities:
"It's for 'a bunch of narcissists that want to sit and type stuff about themselves all the time. We'll put mirrors in some of their lockers if that's necessary, ...but they don't have to Twitter.'"

The realtors walk-through was scheduled for last Sunday, but was cancelled.
-
They finished their discussion of doughnuts and are now talking about traffic.
For a second there, DR Laura, I thought you were talking about the talking oafs outside of bk's window.
-
Taras Bulba has shipped. I'm now preparing all the dealer orders, which will go out later.
-
Them too, Jose.
-
I am wondering if "blowing sweet" is a bk-ism, or if that is generally accepted jazz terminology. ???
I was sort of wondering the same thing, especially with some of the recent Daily Discussions: "ME TIME", "FILLED FUN", "THE MACK", "GETTING CROWNED"... -And then there's the whole "Mad Men" and Bryan Batt thingy going on too. ;)

Greetings from Toyland! I am all caught up with the posts and finished with all my errands. I had a nice visit with Rob Berman at the St James Theatre. We deduced that I have orchestrated a grand total of 96 measures of this revival.
I caught a look at the set for Rainbow Valley, Missitucky. It looks wonderful, kind of like a pop-up book.
There are clips on the FR site from last week's press presentation:

It's a little creepy hearing a brother and sister singing about Vegas love.
Ew. :P
-
Topic of the Day: I just saw Dave Brubeck (actually, the Dave Brubeck Quartet) live at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley (http://www.jazzalley.com/), and he was (and they were) fabulous! ;D
-
So, I guess I wished Jenny an early birthday.
There is nothing wrong with that. :)
-
Well... It appears that they're almost done painting! All the large areas have been coated - twice! - and now they're just going back to check some spots, as well as the trim.
Of course, after seeing how the living/dining/kitchen area now looks, I'm tempted to have my room painted, but moving all of my boxes, shelves, books, desk, and keyboard would truly be more trouble than it's worth. Ah, well.
-
Well, before I succumb to yet another nap...
Laters...
-
A nap sounds good. However the meeting looms as well as these student surveys that are taking forever to tally.

I'm expecting my Blu-ray "The Wizard of Oz" box today from UPS...so I checked the tracking information and THIS is what greeted me:
OAKLAND, CA, US 09/29/2009 8:10 A.M. THE ADDRESS LABEL IS MISSING
OR ILLEGIBLE / THE ADDRESS HAS BEEN CORRECTED. THE DELIVERY HAS
BEEN RESCHEDULED
What that means is that my lot in life has DECIDEDLY not changed. Anything I look forward to with great excitement ALWAYS gets hosed by UPS.
And I only got my shipping notice an hour ago! That means I won't see it until Friday.
-
I've had a very full afternoon of viewing. I began with the last of THE CASE-BOOK OF SHERLOCK HOLMES episodes - "The Creeping Man." And creepy it was. Made me jump once or twice even if the science was science fictional.
-
Next I watched last night's CASTLE. A fun episode even though I guessed the culprit(s) pretty easily once all the facts were laid before us. At least the writers did acknowledge where they got their idea for the episode from. Most just steal and take credit for their own "originality."
-
Page Five Dance!!!
-
Next I watched Sunday night's DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. Though the episode contained the same mix of soapy melodrama and semi-black comedy that the show has always had, I have decided to move away from Wisteria Lane. I just don't want to go through another season with all this angst. I went through enough this summer to last me a lifetime, so this is 45 minutes I can save myself each week.
(I will miss seeing the wonderful Richard Burgi when he makes guest appearances, but I'll make the sacrifice and be content with the string of other gorgeous hunks which appear in some other shows which I regularly watch.)
-
Next I put in the Blu-ray of PINOCCHIO which, after seeing the Blu-ray of SNOW WHITE yesterday, looks even better than I thought it did when I reviewed it months ago. Gorgeous from beginning to end.
-
Around 3 p.m., the UPS man left a package at the door. Yep, THE UNIT arrived, so I had time after PINOCCHIO to watch the first episode in a five-disc box set.
I have never seen the show before. Never sampled it since it looked like military drama mixed with soap which it indeed is. The first episode seemed to set up the season. Terrorists have killed the Vice-President as well as the Vice-President-elect in an attempt to throw the government into disarray. The President-elect (played by Benito Martinez from THE SHIELD) was saved by the team in a blazing shootout which looks to be a trademark for the series.
It's a serialized drama show so they do need to be watched in order (not that I wouldn't watch them that way).
-

How SWEET.....IT'S HERE (they opened the box and re-did the address from the packing slip!!!):
-
The kittens got a pretty good report from the vet. The eyes are much improved (I knew that), and the vet was very pleased with little Wally's eyes. She is concerned about the gray kitten's (Michael's) eyes, as she thinks his vision is quite impaired. Continue with the medicines and let her know if they don't continue to improve.
-
Got my Wizard of Oz set, too, so that's tonight's viewing.
-
All Bulba's are shipped including all my dealers save for the main one - he's getting most of the boxes and Cason's coming to help me lug those to the UPS Store.
-
Guess I'll head back down in a little bit to continue with THE UNIT. I'd like to get the rest of disc one watched (four more episodes on it) and then go on to disc two before I check in with tonight's NCIS about 9:15 via the DVR.
WBBL.
-
I'm exhausted already from all the packing and shlepping and shlepping and packing, then filling out the endless customs forms and UPS forms. I did those whilst having a sandwich and onion rings (lower calorie than fries) at Jerry's Deli. But as of four everything is shipped and tomorrow, after my meeting at LACC, which should be done by ten, I'm free to do whatever I damn well please.
-
Poor little Michael, special kitty eyesight vibes to him, and vibes to all of the kittens!
-
I visited in the waiting room with another foster, who has the same problems. So we are sure it is something they all caught there.
I also visited with an animal control officer who is quite a softy. She is "fostering" a dog she picked up on the freeway that was emaciated and survived distemper. She knows she is going to keep Buddy.
-
The Black Shield of Falworth is a guilty pleasure of mine.
-
And they just rolled up the drop-cloths! YEAH!
-
And I'm outta here. I'm not exactly sure where I'm going - there are a few options - but I do know that I need and must get out of the apartment for a few hours.
Laters...

Take Monkey to the park.

VISION VIBES TO JAMES!!!
James is a young teen we met today. Actually we found him in the street on his back holding his hands over his forehead. His scooter was on the sidewalk. It appears his scooter hit something & James flew off the scooter, hit his head in the street & then flipped over on his back. We think he flipped instead of rolling on his back has something was leaking from his backpack.
Just as I jumped out of the car a gentleman jumped out of his & called 911, only he couldn’t connect. When a woman walked up he sent her down the street to the fire station. I then called James’s mother who was able to get there quickly. Before she arrived a Medford policewoman pulled over to assist. James was coherent, gave me his name & phone number, but closed his eyes and said he couldn’t see. When his mother arrived she got him to open his eyes and look at her, he still couldn’t see though he said he was trying.
It was nice how many people pulled up, or walked up to see if they could help including a nurse from across the street. When they knew they couldn’t help they left to stay out of the way, as we did once the paramedics arrived.
-
VISION VIBES TO JAMES!!!
~~~DITTO!!~~~
-
Thanks George. I can't stop thinking about him. I will wait a day or 2 and then call his house to check up on him.
-
It sure is a quiet Monday here.
It rained a little last night, that combined with cooler temps & wind changes, the smoke is gone & the air is clean. It was a beautiful day. Now we are having some more of the much needed rain. I hope it stops before morning again.

Thank you DRs Laura & elmore.
LOL-DR elmore. Lots of people went to the rescue. I was the one to think to call his mother-wonder why ;)
Strange was the amount of time it took my brain to really register what I was really looking at, not until I noticed the scooter on the sidewalk.

FOR JAMES!!!!!
And how good of you to help him out, DR Jane.

Thank you DR DAW. Keith was driving the car & provided the phone. He wisely stayed back unless needed. I was the first to the boy & sat with him. Once the boy knew there were people with him he attempted to get up. The other man and I immediately said not to move. It was the other man who thought to send someone to the fire station, and attempted to call 911 before I even thought of it.

Vibes to James. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DR Jane i checked to see if ABC was showing CASTLE again on friday or saturday. It looks like they have other shows (flash forward and the forgotten on friday).
I know you don't like to do this. But i'm sure you could watch online.
-
It rained the entire day. Yuck. So no bike ride for me.
First thing this morning it wasn't raining. But by the time i had my bike gear on it was pouring. :(
-
At 9pm it is a reality show match-up with So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing With the Stars.
Probably nobody here watches, but tonight is also the premiere of The Hills (which i will have to watch online since i don't get mtv).
-
My box from Amazon contained The Wizard of Oz and Barbra Streisand's new album.
How gay am I? ;D
-
I got 4 dvds from the library today: I love you man, 17 again, state of play and adventureland.
I watched the first. I really was not sure if it would be funny or funny stupid. There is a fine line.
It was slightly stupid. But I quite liked it and thought it was funny. Maybe veering a bit more towards guy humor. But it was still enjoyable!
-
Well, DAW, I have my WIZARD OF OZ, my Barbra AND the blu-ray of AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON.
What does that say about ME? ;)
-
DR Jennifer, I really liked ADVENTURELAND. It's a somber comedy. Most importantly, to me, it was filmed right here in Pittsburgh's Kennywood Park amusement park. (not that that will mean anything to you). ;)
-
DR Jennifer I was pleasantly surprised I like "17 Again". It was cute & enjoyable, not very original but sweet enough.
-
We have ADVENTURELAND in our NetFlix queue.
-
Watching NCIS - and Mark Harmon has a new distracting hairpiece.
-
Don't forget - Nicholas Clay on TCM at 10 p.m. Score by Bernard Herrmann....
-
Back from shipping all the big boxes and there's only one box left, which contains the copies for the local dealer, and two other dealers who have yet to pay. And that's that.
-
After we lugged the boxes, Cason and I went to Hugo's and had a quick bite - I just had a Caesar salad.
-
Now I shall finish Falworth and then start Wizard of Oz.
-
Yea for Jane, and for stopping to help.
Most people in LA don't even notice what's going on around them while driving.
-
Halloween decor goes up this weekend.
Nap time.
Have a great Wednesday everyone.
-
~~~CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT VIBES~~~
for Laura DR's kitties!!!!!!
-
I purchased a copy of the original U-I budget for FALWORTH a few years ago. Most interesting.
-
SPOILER DWS~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first couple who is safe to dance again is........Donny and Kym!
-
Had to do that for DR Laura...not much of a spoiler, I don't think anyone expected him to go home
-
The guilty party in NCIS telegraphed said guilt from the first moment onscreen.....obviously a graduate of the Copacabana School of Dramatic Art.
-
VIBES TO LITTLE MICHAEL THE KITTY~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CONTINUING VIBES TO WALLY THE KITTY AND THE REST OF THE KITTIES~~~~~
BOO AND CALLIE SAY MEOW
-
VIBES TO JAMES~~~~~

With all the traffic in L.A. I can understand this. It is possible Keith might have missed him as he was watching traffic to make a left turn.
We had turned right off the main street down a quiet one to drop off a stool sample at the vet's office (BTW it was fine & Sherlock is completely well now). We could not have been more than 10 minutes. I noticed the boy when we stopped at the stop sign before making a left back on the main street. By L.A. standards our main street is rather quiet.
A car turning right where the boy was did notice, or noticed me, and waited until I told her she could go around us.

TOD: Lyn Larsen on the pipe organ or theater organ
I'd have to agree with you. Same holds true for classical and church organs. Of course, I'd have to tell him every now and then how to play something the right way!!! Perhaps that is why we are no longer together! LOL
-
Thank you DR Cilla.
-

Augustus or Julius?
-
The kittens got a pretty good report from the vet. The eyes are much improved (I knew that), and the vet was very pleased with little Wally's eyes. She is concerned about the gray kitten's (Michael's) eyes, as she thinks his vision is quite impaired. Continue with the medicines and let her know if they don't continue to improve.
So happy to hear that!
-
I'm quite braindead today (not that anyone would notice). Will check back later.
-
TOD: Stella Castelucci and Robert Maxwell on harp!
-
Good news about Sherlock!!!
-
Good news about Sherlock!!!
Yes, indeed!! :D
-
Thanks Cilla. We are glad his body was able to heal whatever was causing the problem. If we had checked the first day chances are something would have shown up, this way meds weren't needed :)
-
DR DAW, thank you too.
-
Sunday we needed to use the air conditioner, this evening we have turned the heater on.
-
Touching story (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/09/28/assignment_america/main5347232.shtml) about a very loyal dog.
I suggest watching the video instead of reading the story.
-
Very good news about Sherlock!
-
I played a bit of my music collection at work again, but the co-workers will always say they hate it.
-

Oh, yeah?? Last week, I ordered the solo CDs of Liz Callaway (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LVGXRA/ref=ox_ya_oh_product), Rebecca Luker (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LVGXRK/) and Kate Baldwin (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LVGXRU/ref=ox_ya_oh_product), as well as the world premiere recording of the very obscure 1920s musical, Kitty's Kisses (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LVGXSO/ref=ox_ya_oh_product). ;)
They're all being released on the same day, so HOPEFULLY I'll get them all in the same shipment. :)
-
And now, I'm going home.
Until later!
-
Thanks George.
-

Do you play Wing at work too, Kit Lo?
-
George: I pre-ordered Liz Callaway's new album and received the Jay Masterworks recording of Wonderful Town, Rebecca Luker's Anything Goes and the recording of Swingtime Canteen. My definition of "hot women singers" is kinda skewed.
Laura: Nope, I played Streisand, a bit of In The Heights, some Mandy Patinkin, Frank Sinatra et al - it was all shuffled by my computer.
-
I played Wing at the office once, and someone asked me if that was a tape of me singing.
-

LOL. You'll have to play some Darlene Edwards and see what they say!
-
The tapes for an upcoming release are at the transfer place and I'll try to stop by there tomorrow just to get a taste of what they sound like - all I can say is one of the scores is an all-time holy grail for me, and the other, which will be its pairing is also excellent. Both by the same composer - the films have absolutely nothing in common, however, and it may end up as a two CD set because I'm being told that the two scores might be just a little too long for one CD, BUT, that might change if there are multiple takes of cues on these tapes. I cannot wait to hear them.
-
There were some moments of humor and interest in ADVENTURELAND, but for me it was a miss. A near miss but a miss nonetheless. Much of it I found very predictable.
-
I spent most of the evening watching more episodes of THE UNIT. I watched five more episode which made for a total of only six today.
There are 22 episodes in Season Four, so I will have to do double of what I watched today to get back on track so I can finish it up on Thursday and be ready to start on my next box set which, by that time, should be MEDIUM.

I think I know what they'd say.
-
The show reminds me very much of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE in terms of the military oeprations the team performs. But added to that are distracting domestic issues which I don't like intruding on the action and suspense of the missions.
I assume they were trying to add the domestic scenes to balance out the action thus making sure there was content that both men and woman could focus on. Most of the women on the show I've found to be mediocre actresses.
-
I did take the last 45 minutes of the evening to watch tonight's NCIS. A very enjoyable episode. A tricky killer since the person makes an appearance early in the investigation and then we don't see the person again until the arrest. I thought at the time of the interrogation that this person did it, and then when more viable-seeming suspects got cleared, it became VERY obvious who it had to be.
-
That will leave me with tonight's NCIS: LA to watch tomorrow while I eat lunch.
I also have today's soaps to skim through tomorrow at some point.
-
Well, I'm feeling a bit tired, so I think I'll head down and go to bed.
Good night!
-
Now people are WUSSBURERING at EIGHT O'CLOCK??? Maybe I'll just shut the jernt down at eight and reopen in the morning. I feel a mass bitch-slapping coming on, oh, yes, I feel a mass bitch-slapping coming on.
-
Is this a joke? Really, someone needs to explain it to me because me no comprende.
-
I mean, there's no one in the jernt and hasn't been for two hours.
-
Some of us were watching WHEN THE LION ROARS.
-
Some of us were taking a nap after an intense day at work, and then taking a walk in the beautiful cool night air.
-
I've always liked the word braindead. But my favorite (and I use this quite frequently, out loud to myself) is butthead.
-
Night.
-
Well, since we're so close...
-
PAGE EIGHT DANCE!!
-
I have taken a nice long hot shower.
-
I watched today's "The Today Show" (Barbra Streisand was on), "The Bonnie Hunt Show" (with guests Betty White and Alex O'Loughlin) and tonight's "The Forgotten." I really like Christian Slater, but the women on the show seem all just to similar to each other.
-
I've been getting up every three hours for the last two weeks. I'm a zombie sometimes.
