And the word of the day is: ACNESTIS!
And The Song Of The Day Is: IT NEVER ENTERED MY MIND
Good Morning. I'd really like to go back to bed and snuggle up under the covers. But I'll stay up and face the day instead. :-\
From what I read, they're going to be on five straight (pardon the expression) broadcast days: from Wednesday through next Tuesday.
DR Matt H, I cannot confirm it on AfterElton, but I think Kyle and Fish are on ONE LIFE TO LIVE today. I thought I had read it a couple of days ago. They've got to set up the romantic triangle and have a bit of violence.
...
GLEE has a new episode tonight, the penultimate one before the half season finale where the club goes to Sectionals.

Question about GLEE - I've missed the last 2 episodes and not even had time to watch them online. Is there anything I should know before watching tonight's?
It Never Entered My Mind is one of my favorite Lorenz Hart lyrics.
Well they can say what want - and thanks to DR ELMORE for the Reidel link - the terrible BIRDIE is not Gina Gershon's fault.

I'm wondering if all the talk about Ragtime in that article is what prompted the virtual flood of tweets from @RagtimeOnBway09 this morning.
Thanks to DR CILLA LIZ for the DRJMK television appearance link!
WHOA!
Kristin Chenoweth is currently on "The View"....
CLEAVAGE!
She still reminds me of the Travelocity Gnome.
Not sure if this is a shocker or just news....

I now have transportation again.....noiseless transportation!
And now I am off to do Monday things. I know it is Wednesday!
My question for ASK BK Day! What do you think is the most memorable Oscar Telecast moment....not necessarily an acceptance speech.....
PRESSURE POINT has some intense musical moments.
Good morning, all! I have a day to myself but most of it will be spent on the BABES IN TOYLAND report, which for reasons I'm not able to explain, may not be the final draft I actually submitted. I am not amused. I also have a trek to the Lincoln Center NYPL around noon to verify one footnote from The Chicago Tribune, March1904.
BK, Pasolini's obsession with Rome's ragazzi and his politics were major contributions to his violent death, but I can think of many artists - straight and gay - who put their obsessions into their art, so whenever he had a chance to include nude young men and women in his films, he took advantage of it. Were Andy Warhol, Paul Morrissey, and the young John Waters - who seem to be the American equivalents of Pasolini in style and content, and criticism of the Catholic Church - so much different? They too got funding for their amateurish art as film makers. Pasolini's film THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST MATTHEW is quite beautiful, and one in which the amateurish performances of its nonprofessional actors adds to the film's simplicity. I also like his film of MEDEA with Maria Callas, although I rememberr thinking at one point, enough of the philosophy and politics; get to the story. When I first got to New York, the old Thalia at 96th and Broadway, where I first saw THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL, showed Pasolini's films regularly, and I got to see many of them. Some I enjoyed more than others. I also find Pasolini and Derek Jarman similar but I prefer Pasolini. Maybe the subtitles add to itheir charm?
bk, I don't think you'll like ARABIAN NIGHTS any more than CANTERBURY TALES. I haven't seen it in quite a long time, but I remember it being pretty violent. Many critics seemed to like it more than CT, but I didn't.
I am reading and enjoying Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. Thanks, DR DtM, for recommending! :)

TV Tidbits:
Both episodes of MODERN FAMILY tonight (8 p.m. and 9 p.m.) are reruns tonight. So are the other ABC comedies. EASTWICK does have a new episode tonight.
I'm not sure how many fans of THE AMAZING RACE also watch BIG BROTHER.
But it looks like Jeff and Jordan (who are really a couple) are filming the next installment of TAR:

Yep! Kyle and Fish are on today.
What asshole thinks this is remotely efficient? Why is it they get a workable system and some idiot in charge who neither uses the collection or clearly knows anything about how the system works efficiently is allowed to screw it up?
DRJOSE - sometimes when I refresh, I get the new page and lose a post at the end of the page.....I think this is why I didn't realize you had already announced Ms Baxter's coming out.

Seeing as how I loveed Jeff and Jordan (and am so happy they are a couple!), I will enjoy seeing them on TAR!
But I am "dealing" with these things, and I am keeping my mouth shut for the nonce.Ah - so you "know people".
i'm fine now...last nite i woke keith screaming his name. i have no idea how to explain the lite show going on. brite flashes of kite were flashing with incredible speed. the 2nd time it happened i managed 2 stay calm, take a deep breath and stp it. it didn't happen again. that was the last, and scariest straw, no more morphine for me. i'm sticking with the 4 hour, fewer side effects, med and hoping it is enough.
Seems most inefficient, DR ELMORE. Maybe they should get Henry Ford in there to improve the system.

Oy, oy, oy. Spent the morning at La Manse where we played with one of the two furnaces. This is the one that is supposed to heat the house. While it's a fairly new oil burning furnace, it's very low efficiency. Because they obviously went to FAO years after they disassembled the original oil boiler which provided radiator heat, all of the heat vents upstairs are in the ceiling, obviously not optimal. I did manage to get a decent airflow upstairs by mostly closing all of the downstairs vents, but it's obvious we'll need a bigger furnace for this house, probably a heat pump which would provide some tax rebates. I also did dead mouse remediation from the pool, which was not my favorite thing ever to do.

Well with a little (a lot of?) work it could be a real showcase. It's incredibly beautiful out there. If you are a fan of Little People, Big World, the Roloffs live right down the street.
I stiil haven't decided how I feel about the previews for James Cameron's forthcoming sci fi film AVATAR. I do know it hasn't made me want to see the film.
Ausiello is reporting that when UGLY BETTY returns in january it will be on wednesdays at 10pm.
I don't really have a problem with it being on Wednesdays (although i've gotten used to it on fridays). But i wonder if it is a 10pm show.

I had really strange dreams in July when I was on the codein that Ron brought me until my doctor was persuaded to prescribe pain meds. I remember tearing the bedding apart and throwing it around the bed.
Much "high drama" in the office the past couple of days.

I began my afternoon viewing with another look at A VERY SUNNY CHRISTMAS. It ought to be a very FUNNY Christmas because it is. One has to be in the mood for idiot comedy, and I guess I was today, because it made me laugh all over again even though I just watched it last week.

The natural buoyancy provided by the pool water lets you exercise a healing shoulder with out it having to bear the weight of the entire arm.
Today is Mr Ron Raines' birthday. I just spoke to him. He and Dona are off to dinner with family.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R) -- two of conservatives' favorite anti-illegal immigration firebrands and potential 2010 candidates for statewide office in Arizona -- have teamed up to raise more than $100,000 as part of a holiday party being held Dec. 5.
A recent poll from Rasmussen Reports showed Arpaio leading all comers in the Arizona governor's race, while Hayworth is in a statistcal tie with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in a hypothetical primary match-up.

LOL! But I didn't think you folks celebrated Christmas. Guess I was misinformed.
I am now finished for the day, until a little later this evening when I hopefully can finish the editing road map.

Yes, all but one of the main characters was killed off last week in their musical montage tribute to Columbine.
