TOD:
Cheese.... one of my favorite food groups!
I love American, cheddar, brie (great on toasted french bread), muenster (or as my nephew used to call it - monster cheeser), cheddar, provolone, Swiss. Fresh parmesan is wonderful on spaghetti and noodles in general.
I am not a huge fan of bleu cheese.
I also like cheddar and I find it a versatile thing to have around the kitchen for you can add it to many dishes. I also like nibbling on cheese and summer sausage with wheat crackers.

a student worker tonight brought in an interesting item I have never tried before. Matzo balls.

Cute picture Edi of Walt and the stuffed cows. I particularly like the cow in the Spamalot t-shirt. I would love to see that someday.
-
I haven't had many different kinds of cheeses...mostly the standards: cheddar, mozzarella (especially fresh mozzarella), parmesan, monterey jack (love this on pizza), , cream, ricotta. That's all I can think of right now. :)

BK, we're getting in Wed PM, although I am toying with the idea of paying an extra 100 bucks to cheange my ticket to Thursday afternoon. There's too much going on and I still have had very little sleep. I will only have 1 hour to do everything I need to do after I get home from the hospital tomorrow night if we leave as planned. I haven't even rented a car!
-
I would suggest BK come to the Friday night screening, because Peter will be at that one to do a short Q&A. We probably wouldn't be available to go out until after the second show, which might be too late for some people. (The times haven't been announced yet.)
But we would also be available other times, too!

Good morning, all! This morning I fly back to Ohio, so I can use all the travel vibes you can send this way. I'm hoping the week will be peaceful and busy, with no major sturm und drang and that I will see a few good friends and have a pleasant sojourn.
So, I'll be back this afternoon when I arrive at my destination.
DR Tomovoz, spiffy new avatar! Very dashing.

A very good morning to all!
Safe travel vibes to DR Elmore!
Well, the good news is I didn't break my toe. The bad new is that it still hurt like heck. I couldn't think of anything but getting home to the recliner.
It's finely on the mend.
I hope everyone is doing well!

Hi DR Ben! How is the weather in NYC?
-
Gotta scoot--Have a wonderful day everyone!

I missed Danise! I was catching up on last night's posts.
The weather in NYC is strange. It's early April but we are still in March mode weather. It's in the 40s and should be for most of the week, even Easter Sunday. Oh, well. At least it's not rain or snow.

I do love Parmesan when it's freshly grated. Throw those little green canisters out - nasty stuff in comparison.
And yes, brie is wonderful, soft and runny.
Blue cheeses are also at the top of my list. Magic Mommy cannot stand them, of course, because she cannot stand food that smells. Der Brucer brought some to her house once, to serve on a cheese tray as an appetizer, and she freaked and insisted that it be removed to the kitchen. It went to the kitchen... and so did we! Yummers!
And a really good Swiss cheese can be considered the hole-y grail!

And it's already time to get ready for work!
I've got a full, eight-hour shift today. After, I think I'll roast a leg of lamb.

That's because we've got leg of lamb on sale.

$1.99 a pound.

That's a savings of $2.00 per pound, at least.

With garlic and rosemary, of course.

Last night for dinner we had meat loaf. I make it with green beans inside. I blanche the beans for about 5 minutes and then after the ground beef is all ready (an egg, 1/4 cup of bread crumbs, off the shelf Eye talian seasoning, half of a 6 ounce can of tomato paste, salt, pepper and sliced mushrooms) I put half on the bottom of the cassarole dish, place the partially cooked green beans on the meat and then cover it with the rest of the ground beef. I cook it for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. I also steam the remaining green beans and make some kind of side dish. The beans inside the meat loaf cook away and are nicely done when the meat is finished. We now have leftovers for dinner later in the week. In fact, Anthony may have some for dinner tonight because my theatre buddies and I are seeing Frost/Nixon (the new play with Frank Langella and Michael Sheen who played Tony Blair in The Queen) and we're having dinner at the relatively new Junior's restaurant on 45th and Broadway.

Has anyone seen this news story?
April 3 2007: 8:22 AM EDT
NEW YORK -- The latest search at Google has nothing to do with the Internet or lucrative ads. It has to do with a three-foot python that's loose in its New York offices.
Published reports say the snake, named Kaiser, got loose Sunday in the company's office in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York.
"What you have heard is in fact true and not an April Fools' Day joke," a Google spokesman wrote in an e-mail to technology news site CNET News.com.
"We are confident that we have the appropriate resources in place to resolve this issue as quickly as possible in the best interests of both the Googlers in our NYC office and Kaiser the snake."
:D
I wonder if Kaiser is dasypygal?

As weathergirl DR CILLA LIZ has reported....warm weather with severe thunderstorms are predicted.
I really have been interested in this weather stuff for a long time. I don't know if it's because my mother is paranoid about the weather or because I was in a tornado (well very very near where one hit) when I was 6 years old or what, but it's interesting to me.
I am a trained weather spotter and have been for, gees, over 10 years. My nephew and I used to go to spotter training. We went in one town and when a different instructor showed the same slide show in another town we were the only ones in the room who didn't misidentify the smoke slide and call it a tornado, lol. They thought we were brilliant and we didn't correct them ;D
I should probably go to another class. When you drive through the middle of nowhere during tornado season, it's nice to be able to read the clouds.
Last night we had thunderstorms. Today it's cloudy, windy, wet and cold. Good day to get some work done

I have nothing from last night's TV schedule on the DVR to watch, so I'll be DVDing it today.
I'll probably put in Errol Flynn's THE ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN since I've read several reviews about the beauty of the color of this transfer, and I want to see for myself. I haven't seen the film in decades so that will be like a new experience, too.
I'll probably watch another WILD WILD WEST episode, too, since there is one more on disc two in the set to watch, and then I can put that disc away.

Another day in the cracker factory!
Sigh.
I spent yesterday, and a couple of minutes this morning, putting out other folks' fires. Why I had to do it is because the fires were all blazing on purchase orders I requested.
One fire had to do with an unpaid (since late February) bill. We received a notice of non-payment and a demand for same. Lots of folks flying around "j'accuse"-ing....and I pulled out my folder and produced a copy of the PAID invoice. I entered the County accounting database, found the subject invoice, with the date of the check, the number on the check and the date the check was deposited by the vendor.
Another issue dealt with a Purchase Order that had been changed to include some extra work. The PO was closed by me...but another $6,000 was yet to be billed against it.
My first order of business was to create a new Purchase Order to pay the outstanding debt. This was done by close of business yesterday. I was certain, however, that I closed an account with ZERO funds in it. I was told I was wrong. I printed out the Purchase Order that had been labelled "Change Order" with the date of the change. Only thing was...no extra funds had been added. It was the exact amount of the original -- the exact amount I had already paid -- and I close accounts once funds are expended.
And one more thing: No one had ever included me in the "change order" aspect of the work. Had they done so, I'd have made an annotation in my own records and these problems would never have happened.
I think I can look back and safely say:
”I was right (That’s right)
I was perfectly right (Right)
My instincts were valid and strong. Right? (That’s right.)
When you’re right, you’re right. (Right)
I know when I’m right,
can you honestly say I was wrong? (Right....Wrong!!!)
I was right (Right!) That’s right.
I was perfectly right. (Right)
I was and I’ve been all along. Right? - (That’s right!)
When you’re right, you’re right
I know when I’m right
it’s remarkably rare that I’m wrong. (Right? That’s right.)

RE: THE AMAZIN' RACE
! ! ! ! ! SPOILERS ! ! ! ! !
All together this week was probably the most exciting episode thus far, but again I have to complain about all of the air travel. I don't recall flying ever playing as much of a role as in this race. And it was just so incredibly screwy that two teams could wind up 12 to 14 hours behind through no fault of their own.
DR Jen, I also did not like the Intersection being coupled with the Fast Forward, but I think these things (along with the non-elimination legs) are randomly selected before the race begins and the two just happened to occur at the same time. It did stink that it royally screwed up the Beauty Queens (my favorite team.)
I felt indefferently about Joe and Bill going, but it was inevitable. Likewise Eric and Danielle--totally useless in this race as a team. I get a big kick out of Mirna and Schmirna--they are as funny as hell. I'm really surprised that they've gone so far and so well thus well, but they haven't hit up against any really tough physical challenges yet, and I'm sure there's some coming up.
At this point, I'm betting that the final three will be Danny and Oswald, Uchenna and Joyce and the Beauty Queens. As for the winner, I can't guess (but I am pulling for the Barbies!)

Am I the only one DISTURBED by ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" in regards to the "men" and the moves they're being taught to make?
I think it's inherently wrong for any man to do shoulder shimmies.
And whatever those moves were that Ian Ziering was perpetrating upon the audience (the camera MERCIFULLY spared the TV viewing audience a full frontal shot of THAT bacchanalian tribute to Elvis), I'm quite certain only less than 5% of the male population is equipped to do any justice to it without calling into question their masculinity.
(I shouldn't do this, but I'll point to last season's final appearance by Joey Lawrence...dressed in a really tight sailor suit and doing light tripping moves around the dance floor. That was the end of "his" time on the show!"

Mozzarella (especially Italian -- made from the milk of the Italian "bufala"...not really a buffalo, but of the same family).
Parmesan.....OOF!
Bleu -- salad HEAVEN
Feta -- Greek salad HEAVEN
various Bries....all of which tast "wunderbar" served in a spicy tomato soup.

My TV Viewing entertainment last night was Mr. Stanley Donen's "Charade".
I've long had the Criterion "Charade" with the superb Donen/Peter Stone commentary. But it was not the anamorphic Criterion (that came out later).
Rather than re-buy the anamorphic version on Criterion, I opted for a used "The Truth About Charlie" (the "Charade" remake with Mark Wahlberg and Thandie Newton) which included the anamorphic original with Grant/Hepburn.
I'm curious, of course, as to whether the Criterion anamorphic looks better...there was some graininess but nothing too disconcerting in the version I have from Universal.
LOVE the movie, though....stylish, suspenseful (even WHEN you know exactly what's going to happen next). "Charade" was popular back in 1963, but nothing to throw major awards nominations at. Were it made today, I'm betting it would be a hot contender for MAJOR awards.
-
Oh, yes...and the DIALOGUE:
Grant: (after Hepburn moves into his arms) "When you come on, you really come on!"
Hepburn: (moving in for the kill) "Well come ON!"
Hot, hot, hot!

RE: Dancing with the STARS voting.
The judges votes do not count for 50% of the vote, at least not in the true sense of things.
In season 1 the judges votes did count for 50% of the score. The judges ranked each team 1-10. And the public's votes were ranked 1-10. If you finished first with the judges you could never really be voted off that week. And i think that was fair.
This season (and last) there is a really nutty voting system in place which gives the public all the power and the judges almost none. Check the website it explains it.
But basically it takes the judges score (let's say 21/30) and you see how many points that gave a team out of the total points awarded (let's say 10 teams so 300 points). That gives 21/300 or 7% of the total judges votes. The thing is if the judges highest vote is 24/30, then basically that is 24/300 or 8% of the judges' vote. So really that would only be a 1% difference, meaning the judges vote does not count at all.
They add that with the audience vote. Now the more popular celebs will get A LOT MORE VOTES than the less popular ones. So it's not balanced equally.
That is why emmitt won last year. He had a lot more fans.
So to me it is extremely misleading to say the judges vote counts for 50%. To me that implies that half of the score is from the judges. BUt really it's not.

ATLANTA —
Gunfire was heard inside the building complex that houses CNN's headquarters, and police confirmed that at least one person was shot.
FOX affiliate WAGA reported that the Atlanta police said two people were shot — one victim and the suspect. Police are not sure who shot the suspect, but he is now in custody.
A man was seen being carried out on a stretcher with blood covering his face.
CNN reported that the offices of its Internet operations, CNN.com, were evacuated and that a suspect was in custody. Video footage showed police pointing guns at a man lying on the ground inside a building.

Four Million Children's Bracelets Recalled Over Lead Paint
Tuesday , April 03, 2007
A&A Global Industries has recalled about 4 million Groovy Grabber children's bracelets because the paint on the metallic part of the bands contains high levels of lead, which is toxic for children and can cause adverse health effects if ingested.
The flexible bracelets are made from metal bands wrapped in plastic covers that are decorated with a variety of colors and designs. The designs include smiley faces, Chinese symbols, dogs, cats, aliens, checker boards and flames.
They were sold at vending machines in department, grocery and discount stores, as well as shopping malls around the country between November 2005 and March 2007.

Re: red lead -- As a primer, yes.
I was thinking primarily of housepaint in my comment above. I thought, however, that lead-based paint was regulated as to its uses...it certainly isn't supposed to be used in china, or serving ware, or anything like toys. Jewelry ought to be a no-no, since it's intended to contact the skin.
Perhaps it's not considered as dangerous as asbestos.

Next came THE ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN, and everything I had read about the magnificent Technicolor in this new DVD transfer was true. It is stunningly beautiful, and the transferis also very sharp and completely cleaned up. Looks like it could have been filmed last week.
Of course with such clarity, Errol Flynn's aging looks become all too obvious with lines in his face and a roundness to his facial features.
Nice to see Una O'Connor, Raymond Burr, and Alan Hale among the supporting cast and Vivica Lindfors with about a 16 inch waist as the Queen of Spain.

Jewelry ought to be a no-no, since it's intended to contact the skin.
Actually, in the case at hand, the lead paint is covered by a decorative plastic coating (which of course any toddler could/would chew through).
Lead, asbestos, and mercury all have one insidious quality in common - their toxic effects are cumulative!

Note: this lead deal and the Pet food scare really point up the difficult problems ahead when we import so much of our consumer goods. Paasing laws to fix blame/liability is easy; implementing procurement and import inspection routines is a lot tougher.

That makes sense though I wasn't getting on via AOL this afternoon. (I did this morning when I logged off and put the computer in standby mode.)

I just found a photo of Carnegie-Mellon. It looks like a pretty campus.
I’m trying to find a doggie day care program in the area. It’s not easy long distance & not knowing where anything is located. So far only one place I have called actually had a person answer the phone. I’m not leaving messages, yet.
When I return from L.A. we’ll decide if Keith can handle my leaving again to meet Craig in NY. I wish I felt comfortable putting the dog on the flight between NY & Pittsburgh.

A few days ago, some DR had asked about the critical reception on Curtains. According to Variety, it got 5 "pro" reviews, 7 "mixed" reviews, and 4 "con" reviews, amongst the reviews that Variety monitors.

I didn't realize Kritzerland distributed the above mentioned CD's. Did I miss something??
Matthew I ordered mine on March 29th. Sometime around then Bruce posted a long list for sale. If you can’t find it I’m sure he can email it to you.

Right on schedule. My mail from California arrived today. :D

This lead paragraph from an article I just read in VARIETY about upcoming cancellations:
"It was a Bloody Monday in TV land as the nets delivered bad news to the casts and crews of several skeins, including "The Wedding Bells," "Six Degrees," "7th Heaven" and "The Black Donnellys."
The article went on to say that WEDDING BELLS will air once more, BLACK DONNELLYS twice more, but that SIX DEGREES is canceled immediately. 7th HEAVEN will finsh out the season but is not being renewed.
Too bad....I really love "The Wedding Bells."
With "7th Heaven" biting the big one (and the writers did NOTHING to live up to the faith the network placed in the show), one wishes "Everwood" had gotten a third season.

A few days ago, some DR had asked about the critical reception on Curtains. According to Variety, it got 5 "pro" reviews, 7 "mixed" reviews, and 4 "con" reviews, amongst the reviews that Variety monitors.
When the "Apache Dance" segment was in full swing, my DH looked over at me and whispered that he thought it was inspired by AVENTURERA. LOL!
The only thing that did bug me about the show was that there was a part where a lot of puns were made and the writers felt the need to explain each of them to the audience. (boughs+bows, etc.) That I could have done without.
-

These CDS -- and all the others -- were BK's extras of product he produced at another label.
He is not selling them on the Kritzerland label...hence his private offering to us here. He's merely asked us to pay via Kritzerland.

Here in Tacoma (as I'm sure it is true in North Dakota), our supermarkets have entire aisles of gourmet cheeses. Shelf after shelf, as far as the eye can see, stacked with nothing but Velveeta!
Aha. So THAT's where Velveeta goes to die.

BK---what do you think of Robert McKee's writing course? A producer I work with loved it, and another friend of mine just took it, too. Based on their raves, I have thought about it, but then again, I am reticent. Oh yes, I am reticent.
-
I thought EVERWOOD ran four seasons and wasn't picked up for a fifth. Oh, well, since I didn't watch the show, I guess it was around less than I thought.

I'm heading down now. I have the living room to clean, and hopefully the mail has come since I've been upstairs. It hadn't come earlier.
Either way, after the cleaning chore, I'll settle in for tonight's TV.
BTW, Tony Bennett is this week's mentor on IDOL and they're singing standards, so that should be a more enjoyable show for me than last week's was.

You got my curiosity up (especially since you've proven you don't have to be a watcher of a show to know its history)....and apparently it DID run four seasons.
Where the hell was I? I only recall it being two. It premiered in September 2002, and its last show aired in June 2006.
I recall being frustrated with an increase in the size of its teen angst story -- which rather took some steam out of the "adult" storyline, which was often quite dynamic -- so I may have tuned it out a couple of seasons. I was an avid fan the last year it ran, though...as well as it's first season.
Man! Talk about a short-term memory loss.

I came home from work early today. I was getting a tension headache. This morning I went in for my second eye appointment in about a week; and the doctor ran a whole series of tests. The result is that I have glaucoma in both eyes. The first eye drop package is $85.00!
Apparently my numbers (?) are extremely high, one eye only slightly less than the other. After the tests were over the doctor came in, read the results, and said, "Oh, Shit!" He of course, immediately apologized to his nurse and to me; but he said that he had hoped that the results would have turned out differently.
At this rate Mega Millions vibes would be appreciated.

When DP Colin and I stayed at a French Mountain resort hotel three years ago our salad was topped with a most delicious cheese. I asked the non English speaking waitress - using my very basic French - if she knew the name of the cheese in English. She understood the question and then decided the best way to explain it was "Madame Mouton... BAAA BAAAA BAAA" The other diners enjoyed the explantion too!! We ordered the same dish the next night (Same restuarant and same waitress) using her explanation!

P.S. Jose, Ant said it was very good to see you. He said he didn't come in for the Gypsy call because it's Patti and Arthur Laurents and he figures it's almost completely pre-cast.
Well, actually, only Patti and possibly someone else are pre-cast. Otherwise, all the roles are up for grabs.
Today was another surprisingly slow day. We saw more non-Equity folks today - including Jason! If he happens to be free tomorrow, he should head on in. They need the adult character actors. Or sign-up for the Chorus Call on Thursday - there were only about 90 men signed when I checked today. (*There were almost 300 women already signed up.)
-
DR JoseSPiano, did you ever get the Into the Woods remaster? Was wondering about those bonus tracks...
Nope. I keep checking in at Virgin to see if they're on sale, but they're not. I may just check iTunes, and get those tracks separately if possible.

Yesterday, DR JoseSPiano wrote:Ha. He used length and size in the same post! ;)

DR Tomovoz - I have a couple of things ready for the post office for various DRs. Alas, with my schedule lately, I just haven't been able to make it to the post office to get them weighed and mailed. However, since I do not have an early morning this Thursday - nor Friday...

From the ABC DANCING WITH STARS SITE:
HOW IT WORKS:
During the live shows, judges will give a score based on several factors, including technical execution. But the judges' scores alone do not decide a couple's fate.
Phone lines and online polls will open at the top of each Monday night performance show so that viewers can vote for their favorites. Phone lines will stay open for approximately 30 minutes after the end of the show. Online voting will remain open until noon (Eastern Time) on the day of the results show.*
The following night, in the Dancing with the Stars Results Show (premiering Tuesday, March 26 at 9/8c), the couple with the lowest combined score from the judges and the viewers will be eliminated from the competition.
The scoring is divided evenly between the judges and the viewers at home, ensuring unpredictable outcomes at the end of every show. When the final two couples remain, the ultimate dance-off will determine who wins the trophy.

My Lexis-Nexis rep finally got a hold of me today. The poor guy has been calling for at least 5 weeks. Anyway, he made me a great deal for computerized reseach for my office. I am most pleased. He also said he googled me and after reading an article I wrote for The Champion Magazine for the 40th anniversary of Gideon v Wainright (the case that gave people a right to appointed counsel) he really felt he knew me and really wanted to work with me. He didn't need to sell me, I already planned to buy his product.

DR Cillaliz, re: DANCING WITH THE STARS voting. You needed to read further.
From abc.com
THE PROCEDURE FOR ELIMINATING COUPLES:
Each week every couple receives points from the judges and votes from the public. For every couple we work out the share they got of the points given by the judges on the night, and the share they got of the publics' votes on the night and we add these two shares together. The couple with the lowest combined total is eliminated from the show.
For example if couple A, B and C receive 38, 26 and 14 points from the judges, we calculate what share these points represent of the total awarded by the judges on the night. In this case the judges gave 78 points in total, and each couples' share of 78 points breaks down as follows: 38= 48.72% of 78, 26= 33.33% of 78, 14= 17.95% of 78. Let's suppose that when the public votes are tallied, each couple has the following shares: A= 20%, B=40%, C=40%. To determine who's eliminated we combine these two shares for the total:
Couple A: 20+48.72%= 68.72%
Couple B: 40+33.33%= 73.33%
Couple C: 40+17.95%= 57.95%
In this case, the bottom two couples would be A and C, and C would be eliminated.
-
That's a great article, Cilla! :)
I agree, and very moving.

The bad storms we've heard about from DRs Cillaliz and JRand arrived in Ohio right on time. The thunder and lightening have subsided for now and the temperature is dropping fast. I'm hoping the cold snap will clear some of the pollen out of the air and relieve my itchy, watery eyes.
Speaking of eyes:
All the best eye treatment vibes to DR TCB !!!

That's a very nice article, Cillaliz. I was hoping for this kind of outcome for the chinchy bassa I encountered recently. But with the case dismissed, he probably will not see the need to get help to turn his life around.

Thanks for the compliments on the article. I was a co-chair for NACDL's Gideon Anniversary committee and when we decided to add a column to the magazine for a more personal story regarding a court appointed case called "A Gideon Moment" I sat down and wrote that in about 10 minutes. There are a couple typos in the internet version...words left out actually, but it's the gist of the article. It's a true story, but her name wasn't Judy.

Well, the wall wasn't damaged by the mirror removal. Just some spots where the glue was. We should have done this decades ago.
When I bought this house there was a wall in one of the bedrooms that was covered with mirror tiles. It was one of the first things I got rid of. It was fun, a good set of gloves and a putty knife. Ok, I broke a few, but not very many and the wall is much nicer as a wall. I had a few spots to fix too, but it was worth it

DR Jennifer, you would be great as a game show cop! I mean that as a compliment, you are great at deciphering the voting procedures and pointing out what is wrong with them from a fairness point of view. I guess I'm one of the viewers who just wants to be entertained and is cynical enough to believe they are all rigged in one way or another.
-
We have had full-length bookcases covering most of the wall, but we always disliked the mirrors anyway. We were kinda glad that the plumber said they'd have to go in through that side of the wall because now we HAD to get rid of it. We tend to be procrastinators. We are replacing the original 45-year-old galvanized plumbing that should have been replaced 20 years ago.

I was expecting to get the letter about the weather thing today, but since they are taking away our postmark and routing all our mail through Sioux Falls, SD, it's taking a lot longer to get mail

I don't know about the postmark thing, but the Olympia post office has closed, except as a drop-off site and for those with PO boxes. Now, it's all being routed through Tacoma. I'm getting things a day or two later, also. :P
-
It's time for me to leave work. Laters, gaters! :D
-
There is only one post office in your city? Amazing.

I came home from work early today. I was getting a tension headache. This morning I went in for my second eye appointment in about a week; and the doctor ran a whole series of tests. The result is that I have glaucoma in both eyes. The first eye drop package is $85.00!
~~~~~~~~~Mega Millions vibes to TCB!~~~~~~~~~~
At least it has now been diagnosed and you can begin treating it. Better that than the alternative!
-
OK... You can all "un-strip" now.
;D

I must admit to finding the US postal service odd to an outsider - and the queues!! I found the people behind the counter to be friendly and not inefficient. It's just that there were too many choices for the customers to make and so many of them seemed to little knowledge before hand. A problem of over choice in services available leading to inefficiency in delivery.
-
Thank you Jose. Autumn is a little cool for just hiding behind very large fans!
-
Non-Equity day?
Yes, but they really sort of sad and shocking part is that is one of the young ladies who came in for Young June, Young Louise or one of the Hollywood Blondes.
-

We have many post offices, but the post mark comes through the sorting facility. The government in it's "wisdom" has decided that it's more cost effective to take all the mail from our post offices and send it to Sioux Falls for sorting or whatever. It's ridiculous. They've been fighting it for years, but I get the feeling that it's happened because the mail has been really slow lately.
-
Don't you mean they usually don't make it out the door?
;)
I'm fast, but not that fast. So to speak. ;)
-
TCB,
Many, many eye vibes to you!!
How many eyes does he need?
-
I understand now, Cillaliz.
-
The Lexis guy offered me my choice of a number of free books, trouble is, they don't publish very many books that I'm interested in....how sad.

I just want to be able to afford all my new medications and still manage to make it back to New York again before I die.
While my stepmother was at the hospital, someone stole all the prescription drugs that she had just refilled from her hotel room. So she had to spend the day replacing everything. There went hundreds of dollars!
Dad had a bad day and was picking out the suit for his funeral, but then he got an appointment with a very young doctor that they liked, and he really looks like he is going to try and get to the source of the problem. The emotional ups and downs!
He was in good spirits when I left, and it looks like they will keep him there for a few more days, which is a good thing.

Jose-I appreciate the cocoa tip. I was surprised my recipe didn’t state one way or the other. I don’t think I have ever baked with cocoa, this will be a new experience if I ever get around to it.
Baking with cocoa is easy. Just don't sneeze while measuring out the stuff. Or have a fan blowing either.
Cocoa (powder) does lump up naturally, so you may have to sift it, but most recipes will state whether or not you have to do that. And for certain recipes, you may have to use Dutch process or regular cocoa - the alkali levels are different, so it affects the leavening. Most of the time you can use either, but if a recipe specifically states to use one or the other, there's usually a good reason. *Both Hershey's and Nestle's produce both "regular" and "Dutch process" cocoa powders. I've grown particularly fond of Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa Powder (it's "Dutched"). A lot of the gourmet cocoas out there are also dutched. In any case...
Really good brownies get most if not all of their chocolate flavor from cocoa powder - not melted chocolate.
-
Well, I'm starting to fade, so...
Goodnight.

DR EDISAURUS - email a snail mail to me.
This is the November 1963 issue of THEATER ARTS that has the full script plus some very nice photos from the Broadway production.
Wonderful! I sent it to you via email. If you write back, don't worry about my spam filter, I will get your email anyway.
Thanks!
-
I've got to go too, night

Sounds like a difficult day. I hope your stepmother filed a police report. I'm glad your dad is feeling better. I hope it lasts.

Are you sure you don't mean this weather underground?

DR edisaurus - I'm glad you loved your cookie too! *And I'm amazed you had the willpower to not eat it until you got back to Atlanta! Whenever I buy cookies for myself at Levain, they usually don't make it past Central Park West.
Oh no! The 3 of us shared one during the Friday screening! And we had some every day. They're just so big that they can last!
-
Losing your postmark feels sort of like the scene in Branded when they rip all the buttons off his uniform
I used to love that part of the opening titles! I still remember the song...
-
We had a big hailstorm here but I missed it. I watched the storm roll by the VA hospital but managed to dodge it all the way home.
-
I should pack tonight but I'm too tired, so I will just get up VERY early!
-
AND....
We have just added 2 new theatres: Seattle and Albuquerque!

When I went downstairs, the mail HAD come, and included was a box of DVDs I had been expecting. The one from the box that was at the top of my list was the Ultimate Edition of THUNDERBALL. I have not seen any of the new digitally cleaned and remastered versions of the james Bond movies. I was not actually planning on replacing all 20 that I have in their Special Edition DVDs, but I had decided I'd wait until high def Blu-ray versions of the Connerys and a few others were made available whenever that might be.
However, Amazon placed the one disc movie editions of the remasters on sale last week, and I decided to try one - THUNDERBALL, probably my least favorite Connery/Bond film.
ANyway, I watched about 100 minutes of it tonight before prime time started. Lowry has cleaned every possible dirt, speck, hair, and scratch from previous editions of the films, and the films are definitely cleaner than I have ever seen them on home video (and I've owned the tapes, the laserdiscs, and those Special Edition DVDs). However, the images are not consistently saturated and lush looking. Much of it does look solid and colorful, but sometimes, flesh tones are paler than at other moments, and contrast also seems perfect most of the time but not ALL of the time.
The new DTS surround track is AWESOME. Sounds like a brand new movie and eons ahead of the surround track that has been on previous editions.

Some thoughts on AMERICAN IDOL tonight:
Get it out of the way first: Sanjaya was just as bad as always, maybe worse since he was trying to sing a standard ("Cheek to Cheek") and off key about 60% of the time including the flattest opening note I've ever heard anyone sing in six years of watching the show.
The people whose voices didn't really adapt well to the standards: Chris whose "Don't Get Around Much Any More" had notes too low for hium to hit comfortably and he looked ill-at-ease.
Gina who had her worst rendition with "Smile." She just didn't seem to get the song at all.
Phil had a lackadaisical rendition of "Night and Day."
The best: Melinda, as always a pro with "I Got Rhythm"
Jordin hit all the notes in "On a Clear Day" with power and infinite control.
In the middle: LaKisha disregarded Tony Bennett's advice about ending her song on a big note and ruined its impact when she didn't do as he suggested.
Blake had a clear version of "Mack the Knife" but he did sing some flat notes.
Haley had a terrible arrangement of "Ain't Misbehavin'" to maneuver through, and she was only partially successful.
I think the bottom three tomorrow night will be Phil, Haley, and Gina with Gina going home.

HOUSE had one of its strongest episodes in quite a while while giving Dr. Cuddy some real camera moments participating more directly in a case for a change. I loved this episode.
-
THE SHIELD had a riveting hour tonight as Kavanaugh (Forest Whitaker) tries to frame Vic (Michael Chiklis) for the murder of one of his team. Other things going on during the hour as well, but the face off between these two immense presences on the show was stunning. A great season opener!
-
They have desaturated ALL the Bonds and it's shameful.
-
Cillaliz - I have the delivery confirmation tracking number if you want it.
-
Thanks for the vibes, DR George and SWW (see, no 'Mornin Woody' for me)
-
Thank you to Dr Jose, Jane, singdaw, and Cillaliz. I can definately see where the nice people hang out.

Back from a day at the office and in lieu of a second seder seeing LEGALLY BLONDE.
The portrayal of law school in the musical of LEGALLY BLONDE, even with all its glorious broad humor, is even more true to the law school experience I went through. Much to sing about the role of the law in society. I suspect that Spring awakening or Grey Gardens will still get the Score Tony, but LEGALLY BLONDE may be the one to beat for Best Musical. (And only one scenic mishap, despite its being the first preview.) And no, we know no one involved behind the scenes, so this is an objective rave.
-
Are you sure you don't mean this weather underground?
Yes, I'm sure, but I loved the doc and it doesn't take a weather man to know which way the wind blows
-
Cillaliz - I have the delivery confirmation tracking number if you want it.
Sure, why don't you IM or PM or what ever M it is to me
-
While I loved the show, I didn't like the professor's big number in the first act (thought it was TOO villainous) and found the title song awkward lyrically (the title "Legally Blonde" is a joke and shouldn't have had seriousness attached to it), though.
-
I don't know what kind of cologne my dad wears, but it's been 2 days and when you walk in the guest room it's all you can smell!
-
On that happy note, I think it's really time for me to go to bed. Night all
-
Vibes of all kinds to dear DR TCB

Thanks to DR Ginny, edisauras, Dan the Man, and Matt H. All of you are awesome.

Thanks, FJL!

I hope I didn't miss anyone. Your good thoughts certainly improved my mood.
-
Tomovoz - don't tell anyone, but I think Eddie Hodges is heading to the bedroom with me.
-
For $85.00, this is the smallest bottle of eye drops I have ever seen.
Good night, all. Thanks again.
-
I'm heading downstairs to bed now.
Good night.
-
A copy of a "rare" Mr Hodges recording will soon be on its way Mr TCB. I don't think those stories about blindness in your youth meant Glaucoma!
Enjoy your time with Eddie.

I went to go see The namesake at the Arclight theater, but they had a bomb scare so they shut the theater down and made us go home...le sigh

Hi dear DR Laura...... don't stay up all night reading! You get you some good sleep, and just let your mind relax and drift off.
Are into the midst of the "re-plumbing job" now?? If so, how many days do they estimate it will take to completely finish the job?
I'm off to sleep for now...........nightey night everyone.
Happy Passover ! Oy !
-

Three days, starting tomorrow at 8 a.m.

I'm through with my viewing. I ended up writing eight-and-a-half pages today, because tomorrow who knows how many I'll get to write - it's wall to wall appointments all day and into the evening. I'll try to get up early and at least get three pages done and maybe finish the chapter I'm on - I have to decide if I'll make this chapter longer than the others, or if I should end it and make the next chapter a little shorter than the others. I suppose it doesn't really matter.

There is only one post office in your city? Amazing.
No...there are several post offices in addition to the downtown Olympia branch (West side Olympia, Tumwater, Lacey, East Lacey), but the mail all used to go from the other local post offices, through the main downtown Olympia branch and then be routed directly to each other. The mail stayed local and you could send a letter from one place to another by the next day. Now all the mail goes to the downtown Olympia post office, then up north to Tacoma, then back down to the other places. :P
-
And speaking of the mail: in my mailbox today were three CDs!! Thanks, BK! I will enjoy these tomorrow at work. :D
-
AND....

Seattle?? When?? Are you coming up here with the movie?? Inquiring minds want to know!! ;D

Oh, and about the HHW clock being off by an hour and 15 minutes or so...I went into my profile and under Preferences, then Time Offset, I changed it to -1.25 (since I'm on the West coast) and it displays for me the time very close to the correct real time. I'll leave it like that until Mr. Mark Bakalor (or whoever, if he's not the one to do it) can reset the HHW clock, then I'll change that setting back to zero. :)
