Perhaps Rodzinski and I should look into tickets for Drowsy Chaperone.

I want to be there on the 5th-still waiting to hear my friend's chemo schedule before I make plans.

Hello, Jane! haven't seen you in a long time - seen the puppies, yet? I have a new feral cat - she has chased away the sweet orange one. This one is a pregnant all-gray cat. She just wants to curl up in my lap. I think she must have some Siamese in her, because of her fairly constant talking... sometimes I would swear I hear actual words. Anyhow, i do wish these kitties would have their babies earlier in the year. How will she get them trained to hunt, before the winter comes? Ah, me...

Amazon.com now has artwork (and a listing) for the pending issue of the 1974 (Chelsea version) of "Candide."

Release date: August 29, 2006!

HOO and RAY!

Okay, off I go to chew out a hapless arts commissioner, who has not shown me due deference and respect...

For JRand and Jose...and anyone else who watches "Project Runway":

Last night's episode was, at times, hysterically funny to me.

Kayne's original creation...!! As he said, it looked like "a frog exploded on it."

Loved Laura's remark: "There's some serious ugly in here!"

Hated that Alison had to go. Hated it, hated it, hated it. Mainly because I think Vincent's every fashion has been hideous and Alison has done some terrific stuff.

Still, she really had an ugly outfit on the runway.

I disagree with the choice of winner. Michael did well, but it was rather blah/bland. Jeffrey really stepped up...and got kicked in the...errr...um...gonads with that "just barely" remark about losing out on the top spot.

Kayne and Robert having their quickie meal...and trash-talking Laura...was a hoot.

Laura's remarks to Kayne were too bitchy, as were here post-runway remarks to Vincent, whom I believe she felt should have been the one to go instead of Alison.

Not her call to make...any of it. And I'm glad Kayne and Vincent gave her as good as she dished out.

Paraphrasing best bit of the night:

Laura (to Kayne): "I question your taste in many of the choices you make."

Kayne (to Laura): "And I question your character most of the time. I've won a challenge, and I certainly won't be dissed on camera by you."

Back from errands (package arrived), and now must go to the post office and then to Mr. Geissman's, after which I shall return.

LOL Kayne and Laura.....I like Laura....and what was it with Jeffrey saying...:"she's making ANOTHER high waisted skirt....." and that's exactly he made, too....although I liked Jeffrey's design best of all.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #189 on:** August 17, 2006, 02:02:07 PM »

Yes, DRJOSE.....but choreography rehearsals are mainly to stand around and roll your eyes at the steps and patterns the choreographer gives you and then only half-ass try them and say they won't work so that he/she has to start over.....

Cool! I agree. I had a 2003 Prius. It was a lot different, more of a little eco-mobile. When I got my 2005 Prius, I felt like I was moving into a sports car.

I almost bought a prius. They are nice cars. I do have Chevy Prizm that I like.

DR Elmore and I shared the stage in Auntie Mame with many folks who qualify to park in the space in DR Maria's neighborhood.

Ohmigod! One of the alltime lows in my rather nadir career.

My cousin used to have a couple of corvettes that he restored from the 1960s. They were gems...

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #195 on:** August 17, 2006, 02:10:39 PM »

My first car was a 1981 Chevrolet Chevette Scooter. It was a nice little car and got better mileage than a Ford Tempo I had.

DR PennyO, it's awesome to know you had a bug. Nowadays that 66 would be worth probably 4 or 5 times what you would have bought it for new. It's kinda crazy, people will buy those older in bugs that are in good condition at quite the cost.

My first car was an orange 76 Super Beetle! I loved that car. The next one I get will have to get better gas milage than what I'm getting now (about 30 in the city and going to Issaquah and back four days in a row, I got 35!) and I'd like another European car. My second car was a Subaru Justy (Japanese) and the car I have now is a Ford Escort (US). Back to Europe!

Jane · « **Reply #197 on:** August 17, 2006, 02:39:17 PM »

Hi Penny. I doubt we will see the puppies in person until we know which ones we get to choose from.

Any chance you can keep the mother inside so the kittens won’t be feral & can go to homes? Then the mother can be released after being spayed.

I have also always been fond of the Nash Metropolitan. Cute cars!

DR MB -- Snazzy indeed !! Ask DR Kerry about the Metroplitan....

My first car was a 1967 or 1968 white Chevy Chevette. It had automatic transmission, but it had no power steering or power brakes and was a bear to drive for me as a 98 pound weakling.

It was a bare bones model for sure, but it was nice having a car to go to college with.

Yay! Just got my copy of PennyO's book "Jewish Thighs on Broadway." Looking forward to reading it.

One only beats a steack if.... it is not tender enough!

Gravy on a steack?!?!? NO gravy if the steack tastes good by itself! Gravy is to "hide" something not to "enlighten"...

DR Francois -- I would agree with you about 99% of the time about beef steak, but this isn't like a wonderful "entrecote avec pommes frites" type of steak. Rather it is a peculiarly American and wonderful creation, which is truly delicious. Also very rich (the "gravy" or sauce has lots of cream and butter and pan scrapings and stuff in it). If you ever hit Hollywood, ask our Esteemed BK to take you to Musso & Frank Grill on Hollywood Boulevard.

Great about October 5th aftre the show. It's too soon to make a reservation, but anyone have any favorite places that (I hope

) don't require dress-up?

I'm off now to sup with my book group girlfriends and to watch Richard Gere in Bee Season.

Bye for now.

Off to clean the bedrooms and then back to a full evening of TV.

I'm just listening to a compilation of "songs about the moon" (named for the Paul Simon song). Currently playing is Mr Jimmy Webb singing "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

I thought the song title said "The Moon is a Hard Matress" LOL!

DR Rodzinski et al - If the "trend" continues", Macy's has been displaying the winning dresses in one of their windows on 34th Street. I guess it started with the "reveal" of the winner two weeks ago, but the other winning dresses from the start of the series were also on display. Kind of neat seeing them up close.

The release of the 911 tapes bothers me. I can't help feeling that there are privacy issues here, that the families and friends of those who made the calls are now having to endure the event in an even more public way than they had to endure it before. Now, complete strangers are listening to their loved ones final moments. Everything is being exposed, exploited. It's just wrong.

The news story I watched last night focused entirely on the families of the victims. They were the ones that sued fot the release of those tapes, many of which the officials claimed did not exist. One man, the father of a victim, said he could now have closure, because he now knew where his son was when he died. The tapes are not my cup of tea, but I certainly would not wish to decide the issue for other people with much closer ties.
