Well, you've read the notes, you were jiggy with the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - and they're jiggy with that.

It's about forty-four mil too much.  She will never sell it in this market.

Well, if you're bargain hunting:

The former home of both Judy Garland and Sammy Davis Jr., above the Sunset Strip, offers expansive views. The home is listed for $4.995 million.

LATIMES

Quote

How are swimmers smashing so many Olympic records?

High-tech suits, new pool design and the inescapable doping question come to the forefront when so many marks are falling.


….
The new pools, which are deeper and now feature 10 lanes so the two outside lanes can remain empty, have also played a role because turbulence has been reduced. It's easier to swim fast in smooth water, and waves dissipate quickly into high-tech gutters. The pool in Beijing is also three meters deep, whereas most pools in previous Olympics were only two meters deep. That means a swimmer such as Phelps, who gets a turbo boost off the wall on his turns, can dive deeper and stay under water longer. According to his coach Bob Bowman, that helps him do his dolphin kick for a longer period of time, and helps him go faster.
...

Considering that in one relay 5 of the 8 teams beat the world's record, I would discount doping as a major factor.

OLYMPIC GYMNASTIC SPOILERS - FOR THE SLEEP CHALLENGED OLDSTERS

Strange how expectations influence reactions to outcomes:

The US Men's Olympic gymnastics team was all smiles when they earned a Bronze Medal; the US Women's gymnastic team was all tears when they earned only the Silver!

And the word of the day is: NUGACITY!
Which is defined as "something insignificant or inconsequential; a trifle."

This is not the same as NOUGATCITY, which would be "something yummy and found wrapped in chocolate; a truffle."

Since the notes are not up, and since we therefor don't have a TOD, may I suggest the following:

This is actually something I stumbled across elsewhere on the web.  The idea is to take a list that has been published somewhere, and see how well your own experiences match up with it.

In this case, we'll be working with Entertainment Weekly's list of the best 100 films of the last 25 years.  This is not my list, it is theirs.  Don't blame me for the list's contents, blame them.

In any case, copy the list, and then make the following adjustments to it:

For every film you have seen, put the film's title in bold.  (Use the buttons for the YABBC tags, found in the "Post Reply" bar - in this case, use the "B" button).

Of those films, for every film you really liked, underline the title.  (That's the "U" button."

And, of the other films you've put in bold, for every film you genuinely didn't like, or that left you cold, cross out that title.  (That's the "S" button.)

I'll post the list on the next post.

What is embarassing for me, regarding that list, is that there are a number of titles there that der B and I have in our DVD collection that I have never taken the time to sit down and watch all the way through.

I guess I've got some viewing to work on, at some point in the future.

But obviously not now.  Not enough time to watch a film and also get ready for work this morning.

For the word NUGACITY, as defined in Woody's post above - "something insignificant or inconsequential; a trifle," how about for the song of the day:

Which is defined as "something insignificant or inconsequential; a trifle."

This is not the same as NOUGATCITY, which would be "something yummy and found wrapped in chocolate; a truffle."

Nougat City?

ROAD TRIP! :)

Since the notes are not up, and since we therefor don't have a TOD, may I suggest the following:

This is actually something I stumbled across elsewhere on the web.  The idea is to take a list that has been published somewhere, and see how well your own experiences match up with it.

In this case, we'll be working with Entertainment Weekly's list of the best 100 films of the last 25 years.  This is not my list, it is theirs.  Don't blame me for the list's contents, blame them.

In any case, copy the list, and then make the following adjustments to it:

For every film you have seen, put the film's title in bold.  (Use the buttons for the YABBC tags, found in the "Post Reply" bar - in this case, use the "B" button).

Of those films, for every film you really liked, underline the title.  (That's the "U" button."

And, of the other films you've put in bold, for every film you genuinely didn't like, or that left you cold, cross out that title.  (That's the "S" button.)

I'll post the list on the next post.

Hmm...

Alas, in Safari - at least for me - the YABBC tags have to be entered manually, so...

I've seen a majority of the films on that list.  In fact, I think there are maybe 10-15 films I have not seen.

Out of the ones I have seen, there are a few that I really did love, and not really anyone I did not care for at all.

*I'm also in the midst of getting ready to head down to DC in a few hours, so...  If the WiFi on the bus is working properly, maybe I'll come up with a properly annotated list during the ride.

Good morning, all! My first assignment of the day is to find a notary public. My bank no longer has one in its employ and I've noticed that on Broadway between 79th and 86th there's not a single shingle stating "Notary Public Within." Damn! So, after the notary, I'm off to Toyland for libretto fixes and then a meeting at Frank Loesser Enterprises to speak with a gentleman about the score and materials for GUYS AND DOLLS.

DR Jose, since the singer hasn't yet paid me, it's very very doubtful that I'll be bussing to DC this week. I'm still quite pissed about the situation.

I've been sticking with the 1940s novel QUICKSILVER and learning more about the author, Fitzroy Davis. According to things I've Googled, much of the novel is based in fact and taken from the author's experiences in the Katharine Cornell tour of ROMEO AND JULIET. The book contains a very unflattering portrait of Miss Cornell - petty, cheap, manipulative, and a big dyke - and her revenge was to insure that Mr Davis never worked again as an actor.  There's a scene in the middle of the book in which the Cornell character bitches out the assistant stage manager and the author makes a comment about the character's feelings turning from kindness to hatred, and I'm wondering if this is Fitzroy Davis' character.

In honor of Woody's joke above, I will attempt to visit the Golden Nougat Hotel when I'm in Vegas, since I think I'll have some time to explore the downtown area a little bit.

...And while my laundry is in the dryer, I should get my packing - very light - started, and clean off my desk too.

This is for DR MattH (and maybe DR RonP) and anyone else who loved last season's JOURNEYMAN.

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/37863

It's an interview with the show's creator that reveals to us all the secrets will not get to find out next season (since there is no next season).

Good Morning, once again...

Well, I'm almost packed - just need to place my laptop in my small bag, so...

I'll see if I can post en route courtesy of the on-bus Wi-Fi...  Otherwise, until I'm down in Virginia...

I got to the subway and became quite nauseous.  I'm back home feeling very queasy and i'm not stepping out today.  

On the positive side before whatever knocked me down at 86th Street I found a notary public and took care of my legal issues. Oy.
