I'm curious if there are any new tv shows that people here will be watching.

I don't know for myself yet (since i like to read about the shows first).

I do know that I will be watching GLEE.

And I've seen like 1000 promos for THE VAMPIRE DIARIES and will try that (i've read the books).

We used to get TV Guide here that had really good descriptions of all the new shows. I think EW might still do that. And i guess my local TV TIMES will do something maybe next saturday. I thought for sure there would be stuff on tvguide online. Maybe i checked too early. :(





I believe the Summer Season has sort of delayed the Fall TV season.  Or at least "confused" it.  -And with "Lost" not coming back until January(?), well...

*The New York Times had a very interesting article about all the promotion that FOX has been doing for "Glee".  FOX is only introducing three new shows this Fall, and it looks like the other networks also have fewer new shows being added to their rosters this coming season.

Hello, all! I am at Toyland. I had lots of packages to pick up at the Post Office and - nice surprise! - a nice check for one of my jobs last month.

I've been thinking about yesterday's orchestra sessions: the conductor beat tine to the music as though he were beating his way through the jungle bush with a machete. What do you do when someone you are quite fond of isn't good enough for the position he wants? How do you gracefully remove himn? Howe do you suggest other job positions he might be better qualified for? How do you fire someone you like and wish well?

oh dear  - that is very difficult - I am sorry that you are in that position and I am afraid I have no wise words of advise - but you do have my sincer sympathy

My treat was two cupcakes.  But I'm kinda still thinking I should eat something - maybe some eggs, if I can rustle up someone to go sit with me at Jerry's or Du-Par's.

DRs MBarnum and JMK - While I was at the Library of Congress, I noticed that they presented a concert last week...

SREEVIDHYA CHANDRAMOULI & FRIENDS—traditional Indian Karaikudi vina music from Oregon

Have either of you heard of her before? Miss Chandrmouli lives in Portland, OR.

No, I haven't heard (or heard of) her, but then again, as I'm sure you're aware, Oregon is a veritable hotbed of traditional Indian Karaikudi vina music, so it's hard to keep all the players straight.

My left shoulder has been aching for the past oh - year or so - but considering the variousother issue I was dealing with it was a low priority - I finally had it xrayed last weekand the verdict came back - I have arthritis


I suppose it is better news than what I was fearing - a torn rotator cuff -   

the constant ache is annoying but I can deal with it - and ther's always Tylenol Arthritis formula for when it gets too bad

Good Evening!

Well... I had another very nice day in Washington, DC. :)

*And as I entered the National Gallery of Art, I ran into a friend of mine from NYC! He came down for some work this week. He drove down, so I'm just going to drive back with him Friday morning. -One more day in DC! :)

Enjoy your extra day in DC, and tell us all about it-- with pictures!!!

I just hope I'm able to go through the almost 500 pictures I've take this past few days, and get a couple of them posted while they're still relatively "fresh".

Vixdad has been eagerly awaiting the opening of the new hamburger joint  'Five Guys Burgers' as he loves loves loves the one by his office in Brooklyn. 

Yesterday I noticede that the shop was open  - (turns out yesterday was the grand opening) so tonight that is where we went for dinner

I must say the burger and the FREE toppings ( I had double grilled mushrooms and cheese)  were very very yummy and the fries are Fantastic

the prices are also much more reasonable than Cheeburger Cheeburger


I foresee many more trips to Five Guys in our future

Apparently everyone in LA reads these here posts and notes because all of a sudden there are no more metal shelving units anywhere.  Unbelievable.  So, we won't be able to finish this until the weekend, if then, and only if they have one out in Calabassas.  This is the price one pays for becoming the most popular site on all the Internet.

Yep, Five Guys makes a very tasty burger. Very tasty!  -And then there are the fries! Good and greasy, but in a good and greasy kind of way.  :)  -And, remember, one order of fries will feed a family of six, so order accordingly.

*One of the original Five Guys locations is in Alexandria, VA.  It's right next to Jefferson Memorial Hospital which is where my mom used to work - she ran the kitchen there (at the hospital, not Five Guys).  I was sort of wary when I heard that the Murrell's wanted to start franchising, but they've set up a great system for opening up each new location that insures their quality and consistency.  The biggest part of that "system" is that one of the "Five Guys" - one of the five sons of the founders - directly oversees the start-up of each franchise location.

Just hit Studio City paydirt, Adam 12-wise.  In the third to final episode of season three Reed and Malloy are driving down the street - it looked familiar and as soon as they turned right I knew they were a mere four blocks from my home environment, driving south on Whitsett and turning right onto Ventura Blvd.  Where now is Carny's, Staples, Aaron Brothers and one of those bed and linen places was a huge Safeway market.  Who knew?  And as soon as they passed that, there was the bowling alley that's adjacent to what is now Jerry's Deli.  They didn't drive past the bowling alley so I couldn't see what was there.  Across the street is almost virtually the same now - gas station and a row of homey shops.  Then a couple of minutes later, they're in a different area, but the minute they turn right onto a new street I know it's Moorpark and Whitsett, and there's Ringside Liquor (still there, looking exactly the same) - the car repair place was, of course, a gas station, and where now sits the Oyster House bar and tiny restaurant, was some other tiny bar and restaurant whose name is obscured.  They stop right in front of the store at 12436 Moorpark, which is now a hair place, I think.  Where the little Studio City library is now was a Texaco gas station.  Otherwise, it still looks pretty much the same.

That's pretty cool, BK, seeing where you live on a TV show.  I only know of a few movies that were filmed here in Olympia ("Heart Like a Wheel" and "Body of Evidence" are two that I can think of), but a regular TV show has never filmed here.  Seattle, but not Olympia.
