Haines His Way

Hmm.. Well, maybe we'll do Artie's or La Cocina tonight then since that will put us just a few blocks away from the Park.  Now there's also an Ollie's up in the neighborhood.  Beard Papa is a couple of blocks down.  Edgar's Cafe, Popover, Sarabeth's, Good Enough To Eat, etc., etc.  I'm sure we'll find something to eat.

I've been to Good Enough To Eat. They live up to their name! I've heard of Sarabeth's and Popover, but Edgar's Cafe eludes me. Lead on, food guru...lead on.

Word.

In any case...

DR Jason - I'll meet you down at MTI around 5:30.  I need to make a run to midtown anyway - which I just remembered.

DR elmore - We should be up in your neighborhood around 6:00 then.  Any other suggestions for where to sup this evening?

Or we could just grab a slice of cake and/or pastry at Cafe Lalo and call it dinner!

If we're even going to consider the banana pudding at Magnolia, I'm going to have to veto this suggestion. I'm fat enough as it is!  

Until 11:30... We'll walk fast to catch the C down to Columbus Circle, then transfer over to the A.

I just received this from a friend, can anyone verify the information in this? Woody?

Woody's at work, so I'm doing the house work.

A. This appears to be an "old " Email, wildly posted on the net.

B. I suspect the numbers have gone up by now!

C. Searching the net for the souce yielded no results, but it did uncover this:

Thanks for the info, DR. Jose. If LESTAT is a hit and is running next year (and we're lucky enough to score seats), I'll enjoy coming down to the pit and saying hello to someone I actually KNOW instead of just waving at strangers and telling them how much I'm enjoying it.

And aren't you glad Ted Kennedy is a Senator, instead of a Congressman?  Just think of how those numbers would grow!!!)

Actually, Vixmoms post was for Congressmen (535, 435 Representatives and 100 Senators), so "Chapaquitic Teddy" was included.

I also finally got around to watching RENO 911! The Trudy wedding wasn't very funny, but I did enjoy some of the other skits. The governor's aide with eyes for Junior was a funny sequence.

And what has precluded darling Rodzinski and TPunk from logging on from HOME.  No, this will NOT do, and a bitch-slapping will be coming if they do not post this very evening.

I forgot to mention that many scenes in Crash were filmed a mere two blocks from my home, on Ventura Blvd. right here in Studio City.

I have shipped a big store order, picked up one paltry package, and ordered two big deli platters for Saturday's party.

I've had a check from Footlight sent three weeks ago never arrive.  BILLS - they arrive the day after they're sent, but checks - Noooooo, they go astray, never to arrive.

Oh, I've neglected all day to tell you all how delightful A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park was last night.  We had great seats (it's pretty hard to have a bad seat in that venue).  The set was clever, with a lot of Cincinnati references.  The band was on the rooftops among the clouds.  Pseudolous carried the show, of course, but everyone was strongly cast.  Now, we'll see how Jackie, the Cincinnati Enquirer critic feels about it.

I also watched a little bit of BATMAN AND ROBIN on HBO-High Definition this afternoon. The movie is terrible (but one of my guilty pleasures anyway), but I have to say those colors just came popping off the screen, and Clooney and Chris O'Donnell never looked lovelier.

May I just ask what exactly did Randy do to deserve being felt?   (Sound of birds chirping as TCB mulls over any number of possible punchlines).

Good luck tonight, JR.

House update:  Well the thot plickens.  In going out and looking at every conceivable (and even a few inconceivable, LOL) houses in this neck and shoulder of the woods, we have met many an interesting person, yes, many an interesting person.  One of these was another developer whose little eyes lit up when I told him what was going on with our house.  He jotted down our name and number, but said he had to move some of his current "inventory" (I think he meant houses, though he did have an herbal aroma about him, if you catch my drift), so we didn't expect to hear from him.  Lo and behold, I get a call from his realtor today.  She wants to come right over and look through the house, which I let her do.  She asked me how much we wanted.  I mentioned a figure quite a bit higher than the I had with the first developer.  Her eyes got rather wide (with excitement, I think, hopefully not shock) and she said, "Is that for the house and the lot, or just the house?"  I said for the house and the lot.  She responded, "I'm sure you'll be hearing from Bob soon."

I think I need to go into sales or something.  

P.S.  Rosh Hoshana:  now G-d knows I wasn't raised particularly Jewish, but we tend to fast on Yom Kippur, not Rosh Hoshana.  And hopefully all you east coasters will lift a glass to toast my birthday one day early (October 6).
