Haines His Way

Good Evening!

Greetings from the Green Room.

There's nothing like a train ride to make one feel sleepy...  I want to take a nap now.

In any case...

Nothing a nice espresso couldn't cure.

I couldn't sleep, so I painted the bathroom. I mixed the very boring light shade of blue with the kitchen blue to make a custom color.

and what did we get?

DR DearReaderLaura - Since you most likely have some "remnants" of paint sitting around, have you ever considered a some kind of faux-wall paint-treatment treatment?  I think you would enjoy some sponge painting.  And maybe the twins could come over and help you with that too.  You just dab here... then there... then there... And so on and so on and so on...




Or if you take a rag...



Etc., etc., etc.  (ah, a King & I reference)

It is kinda fun to do that. A friend of mine who has young kids, let them put the hands in paint and make handprints on the walls near the light switch and and few other spots in the bathroom. It turned out rather cute.

DR Jennifer. Tell them they don't need to cut the cake, just bring 8 forks!  

Here are the beginnings of my Lost Horizon remake choices - and I'm doing this as if I were producing what I hoped would be a first-class and excellent and interesting film musical.

Director: Francois Ozon
Writer: Patrick Marbar
Choreographer: Tommy Tune

In the Peter Finch role: Hugh Jackman
In the Bobby Van role: Noah Racey
In the Liv Ullman role: Naomi Watts
In the Olivia Hussey role: Ludivine Seigner
In the Sally Kellerman role: Jane Krakowski
In the George Kennedy role: Will Smith
Chang: Anthony Wong
The High Lama: Peter O'Toole

I agree with bk on the sally kellerman role with the casting of Jane Krakowski

In the GEorge Kennedy role, I can see Will Smith or Matt ashford

DR Laura, you were joking. But what would they do if we put the cake in the middle of the table and just dug our forks into it!

I should have read all the posts before I made my suggestion!  

Ben every time you mention Juniors, I think of the deli in West L.A.  

Jennifer-It’s sweet of your Aunt & Uncle to want you to have the guess purse.  I’m looking forward to hearing if you all “shared” the cake.

JRand-Good NO TORNADO vibes!

DR Cillaliz - the conference you're going to in Florida sounds like a great way to start the new phase of your career.

Thanks Ginny, I think so too, and with it only being 2 weeks before I leave my job, I'm more likely to remember what I learn long enough to actually use it  

Ron, your damned graphics have the rest of us in Cinemascope...can you please reduce the size!?



-I really had no idea what was causing the Cinemascope since everything looked OK each time I checked the page.  I kept thinking it was just "one of those things" that happens from time to time.

No worries.

My damn graphics have been reduced in size.  Did it make a difference to page 4?  

I sincerely hope she doesn't find herself going all these GREAT places if she isn't going to have some personal time to enjoy it.

I'm guessing the conference site of Disneyworld was selected so that spouses/kids might be able to travel.  I think that's cool....to an extent.

All work and no play makes EVERYONE a dull girl or boy....or other.

It's ok. At this point, I would rather go to class than play in Disney World.  Give me a few years, I'll make time to enjoy the places just as I did with my national criminal defense conferences.

So... I buy a copy of the New York Times to read on the train ride up to Westport... And as I'm going section by section, I realize that I've read it all before... Online.

LOL,. I've done that before, not with the NYT, but with a local paper

I am back from a wonderful lunch with Joe Morrison. Wow, at age 74 he looks better then I do at 43. I need to get to the gym.

WE ate at a nice place on W. Pico Blvd (1 block south of Overland) called LOUISE'S...good food. I had the tilapia special and Joe had a salad (he eats very healthy).

I left quite early to get over there and it was a good thing because I got very lost and ended up driving around Beverly Hills for about an hour...of course being lost in Beverly Hills is not so bad...such a pretty place! I had thought for some reason that Santa Monica Blvd intersected at an angle with Sunset Blvd....evidently I was wrong and that was my first mistake.

Eventually I stopped at a Firehouse in Beverly Hills...walked through the place saw the engines, went through the area where the firemen work out and even into an empty office...but the placed seemed deserted! I think those firemen were hiding from me! Evidently DR Elmore's all points bulletin must have gone out.

So instead I got help from a Verizon workman who was in front of the Fire Station and he directed me to Santa Monica Blvd (I was at Sunset and Beverly Glen, I think).

After a few more wrong turns after asking a few more directions at Walgreens and a couple of postmen/women (all of whom gave me the wrong directions!) I managed to find Pico...and the restaurant...got there exactly on time!

It was a fun adventure!

I wonder if Erik Estrada or Lorenzo Lamas have checked in yet?

Laurie should be here around 5pm then we are going to the convention place in the hotel to see what table she got (and then switch name plates with some other celebrity who has a better table.   )

I realize that HHW is NOT the sports capital of the Internet, but does anyone here know where this photo is from or who the people are in this photo?  Someone sent it to me, thinking that I might know; but I haven't a clew.....

Anyone?

I couldn't sleep, so I painted the bathroom. I mixed the very boring light shade of blue with the kitchen blue to make a custom color.

I was wondering how the bathroom changed color overnight.
