I like flannel sheets just about any time. But of course more in the cold seasons.
DR Vixmom I'm glad you were able to replace everything DR Vixter lost. I hope there will be photos of some of her art work.

It must have been a bittersweet visit, Jane.
I'm off to Long Island for the weekend again.
We will finish work on the basement and relax and Anthony will come back to the city after all his hard work.
DR FJL - Congratulations on the publication of your book! :)
Lovely photos from DR JANE yesterday!

DON'T GET SICK VIBES FOR DR VIXMOM, OR GET WELL QUICKLY!
November 13th works for me!
Good morning, all! I had a terrible night of sleeping and I would have happily stayed in bed longer but I hae to be at my doctor's office by 10:30 for my flu shot. I've decided to try the bus today, so well see how I manage.
When I get back, I believe I'll be prone for a while, wondering why I didn't take a car or happy that it went so well. This is the only thing on my agenda until Monday. I'm getting bored and stir-crazy.
DR ChasSmith, you have a vocal score for WUTHERING HEIGHTS! That's one you never see on shelves. When I first got to NYC in 1979, I had a god friend who was a Herrmann fanatic, and he was interested in writing a bio of the composer. Whenever I hear Herrmann's name, I think of my friend Jimmy.
BK, the LI'L ABNER material sounds fascinating.
I'm hungry. And in buckwheat pancakes withdrawal.
They know how to eat in them thar hills of West Virginny.
Fortunately, buckwheat pancakes seem to be a regular thing at The Original Pancake House. I say that because I've learned that in some places that serve them, they're only available "in season". Which is what we're in right now. The big buckwheat festival of Preston County, WV is starting this very day.
Wow - the cheapest used CD copy of Herrmann's Wuthering Heights is $130.
DR FJL - Congratulations on the publication of your book! :)
DITTO!
TRITTO!
A DITTO here, a DITTO there...
We're all so agreeable today. Or just DITTO-ey.
Congratulations to DR Druxy on the publication of his new book!
My parody book is out and on Amazon:
Blatant self- promo follows:
Here's the link on Amazon for my book, which is done through what is called CreateSpace
Independent Publishing Platform, pretty a "self-publishing" equivalent of doing
your own showcase production or releasing a self-made CD these days.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=fred+landau+oldies (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=fred+landau+oldies)
or someone can go to amazon and type in the search box
fred landau oldies
and it will come up as the first item in the search
Congrats to DR GEORGE on his CD purchases!
My cat name is Madam Sassy Von Scooper! (Landline)
Or (cell phone) Emperor Sassy Von Scooper (which I like better, 'cause I don't want anyone calling me "madam").
I am Count Sassy Von Scooper - we must have the same family crest.
We left for the gym and never made it there....
I wonder how Japanese Karaoke differs from other types of Karaoke? Or is it just a Japanese restaurant that also happens to have Karaoke?

I held my breath until I read the rest of your post, DR Jane. The last time I started a story like that it ended up in the ER and 3 days in the hospital for Richard!
Not the best photo and you can't see the filing cabinet very well. It looks like the desk.
I lo-o-o-ove the coffee flavored NIPS! Be careful, though, because they can stick to your teeth and pull out crowns and fillings. Learned that the hard way...

My new book, LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD: More of My Wacky Adventures in Tinseltown, has just been published by BearManor Media and is now available at Amazon.
Here's the link to the book trailer, which you will (hopefully) find amusing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDTiqUIBBuI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDTiqUIBBuI)
This 2nd memoir contains stories about all of the people pictured in the trailer and more.
PLUS, there are stories about somebody whose initials are "B.K.".
I wonder who that could be.
::)
Keith's new desk with his new smaller monitor. The new computer is so small it fits inside the cabinet, which looks like a drawer, on the bottom right of the desk.
His old monitor is on top of the filing cabinet, which looks like a dresser, and he is using both monitors.
I am kind of down today but I think that is because I woke up at 4:00am and am tired, but most of all because today is Craig's 34th birthday and I haven't seen him since January and don't know when we will get to see him.

Jane, does the computer have enough air circulation when it's inside the cabinet? They can heat up and need enough ventilation so that they don't overheat.
Well, I took a nap after I got home and it's calmed me down. The morning was an ordeal in futility. I got to the bus stop, waited forever before a 104 bus showed up and it was packed. So, i thought I'd wait for the next, which didn't come, so I had to get a taxi to make my flu shot in time, That was $8.00 out of my pocket because the traffic at 72nd and Broadway is impossible. I got the shot, and I decided to walk over two blocks and pick up my monthly meds and the hell began.
When i was last there on Sept 17, they charged me $60 for the flexerill, since my HMO had not approved it as a prescription. I got home, cleared it that problem with calls to my HMO and my doctor, got the approval, and I should be getting a credit of $55.00. Well, the pharmacy hasn't given me the credit yet. Today's meds cost me $65.00, because my eye drops for glaucoma, cost $35.00 after the copay. That took nearly all of my cash, and I have to go back to the pharmacy tomorrow with my $60 receipt to get my $55 credit. While i was standing there, my legs gave out. I was so frustrated over the fact that I have to go back tomorrow with the damned receipt to get the credit and the fact that I could no longer stand that I left my mystery novel on the counter, was unable to walk to a bus stop and had to take another taxi, which cost me $10 because all of the construction on Amsterdam Avenue. There's nothing worse than sitting in a taxi going nowhere watching the metro steal your money.
I am so depressed: I haven't worked in the past month since i got back from Dublin. I have no money, no work offers, and the frustration of being confined pretty much to the area in which I live is killing me. I know the physical therapy is working but it;s working slower than my patience would like, and I hate it. The icing on the cake would be if I came dan with a mild case of the flu from today's shot.
I am kind of down today but I think that is because I woke up at 4:00am and am tired, but most of all because today is Craig's 34th birthday and I haven't seen him since January and don't know when we will get to see him.

Congratulations to our 2 authors.
Nice photos DR JANE.
DR ELMORE - this has to be the end of the difficulties.....the planets will it to be so!
Congratulations to our 2 authors.
DR Ben, we have 3 authors! I'm adding our very own BK, whose Kritzerland trilogy is high on my list of favorite books, and whose facility leaves my intentions of writing something in the dust. One of these days I'll do that BABES IN TOYLAND history and HHW will have 3.5 authors!
I'm out on Long Island until sometime on Sunday. The basement looks great. The treadmill is now close enough to the computer that I can turn it on and stream something while I'm walking instead of reading old magazines. That will make the time pass faster.
Happy Birthday to CRAIG!
Thank you all for the vibes and good wishes! It's a bad day, and tomorrow will be a totally different one. It could be worse!

I said ditto to my four year old niece the other day. And she said, "what does that mean?" Afterwards she was saying ditto to everything. :)

DR elmore3003 - I think DR Ben just meant to congratulate the two HHW authors who announced new books out today.
Musical-film-on-Blu-ray Alert:
Apparently (although many discussions about this are wary of its being real), a Blu-ray of "Billy Rose's 'Jumbo'" is imminent. Amazon has it set for an October 8 release.
Presumably, it's a Warner Archives release, but the "next" title announced has been "Sharky's Machine" (for pity's sake), so this title coming out of the blue like this seems a bit unsettling.
I pray it's so as I've pre-ordered it.
My other niece who only missed probably two days of school all of last year has been out for 3 days with the stomach flu. I felt bad for her today because her class was going to meet an author at the local library (my niece loves reading).
She was pretty good all day but then threw up again at 4pm. :(
DR George, Keith said there is a cooler, vs a fan, that sits on top of the chip and the computer is staying nice and cool.
Very good. :)

I went to the Falcon (company in Medford that makes Keith's gaming computers) website for a photo of his very small computer.

Well, I must go. We just got a notice over the PA system: "Access to the web will be going down in five minutes." So, now I get to put some files into file drawers, then eventually go home.
Be back later. :)

I used to feel that way until I discovered super soft, high quality, cotton sheets. Now I'm spoiled.
And the word of the day is: SECTILE!
elmore, strong vibes to you.
And I'll add JohnG to our list of esteemed authors. Who's next to go down the author road. I encourage everyone to try it - it's really a singular experience just to even try.

ROTFLOL and the complete opposite of my desk. His desk always looks that good.
Thank you all for the vibes and good wishes! It's a bad day, and tomorrow will be a totally different one. It could be worse!
We are expecting between two and four inches of rain this weekend in Western Washington. :( :( :( Oh and in our Cascades, up to eight inches of rain!

Organized and run by volunteers, all proceeds from this event benefit GLOBE (GLBTQ Youth Support Group) and APSC (Aids Project Snohomish County.)
George's library is indeed famous tonight. They appeared on all of the local newscasts, but I never saw George. Oh well, there is still the 10:00 O'clock News on Channel 13!

I hate flannel sheets. They make me feel like i am in the middle of a pajama sandwich!
I was informed today that they would like me to appear at the 95th Anniversary Gala for the Tacoma Little Theatre. The good news is that they would like me to speak because I have been a part of the theater's history for 57 of the 95 years, longer than anyone else that is still around. The bad news is that the gala is tomorrow night.

You don't have to do a book on BABES IN TOYLAND (unless you want to). You have already contributed so much to the Music World with your orchestrations. Look at all your work on BK's CDs, not to mention the incredible and outstanding work on Victor Herbert. I love the Herbert CDs that you are responsible for giving back to the world. I can hardly wait for the next two releases.
As a matter of fact, it will be Victor Herbert I will be listening to, all day tomorrow, while I try to figure out what the Hell I am going to say at this Gala tomorrow night.
