From Ginny:

OK, all the elements of my Armchair Tour of the Windy City gift bag are complete and I just need to put it together tomorrow.  I have a tin from Garrett's with the Chicago skyline on it that I've filled with my homemade caramel corn and 2 DVDs from WTTV11 - "Chicago by Boat: The New River Tour" and "The Foods of Chicago: A Delicious History."  Would YOU be pleased to win that as a door prize?

I would!!  It would prepare me for my upcoming trip to Chicago.

Does this mean what I think it means?  Congratulations, DR George!

[bk]

Had a wonderful telephonic conversation with one of the companies I license from, and that will hopefully result in five or six new projects that can happen in the next few months - plus, I'm going to be able to license some of their overseas show titles, at least it looks that way.

[Jane]

IMBD is so much nicer now!  Thank you DR Jrand.

[bk]

Then I went to Sam Bobrick's house, where he and Ron Clark read the new version of the show that I've been helping with.  It's so much better now - some really funny things in it, and not so winky-winky as it was.  Still work to be done, and I made a couple of suggestions they liked, so now the next job is to get the music right.

[bk]

I'm home much earlier than I thought I'd be so I'll go jog in a few minutes.

Some sad news, particularly for BK who I know is a fan:

That's horrible, Larry.

It's really got to me. He clearly felt he had nowhere to turn, his shithead roommate clearly was out to get him, and he gives up everything. The poor kid. I'd have sued their asses off.

Suing them is lightweight.  They should go to prison

[Jane]

DR DRUXY is in the tabloids!     Although the headline is a bit misleading as to the content.   

Silly headline, good story

[Cillaliz]

YEAH GEORGE!!!!!  Congrats! I'm sure you'll be a great Supervisor

[George]

Yay, George! 

Be kind with them, be gentle with them, or something like that!

Thanks, Fred...I'll try (it won't be difficult )!

Yes, Ginny, I now am the boss of five...well, five once we hire my replacement!  Thanks!

[George]

YEAH GEORGE!!!!!  Congrats! I'm sure you'll be a great Supervisor

Thanks, Cilla!  I certainly hope so...we'll just have to wait and see.

Of course they should be jailed. I think they should be executed for terminal stupidity.

I hope Tyler's family takes them to court for wrongful death as well.

[Jane]

I watched Matt Damon in THE INFORMANT last night and enjoyed it very much...different than what I thought it was going to be....Mr Damon is excellent as were the others in the cast.....

We have it in our NetFlix queue.

[Jane]

DR Jane what did you think of THE GOOD WIFE? I liked it.

We didn't watch it yet.

I found HIDE at the used book store so I can read it on the flight to Chicago.

[Jane]

LOL DtM......

Ditto

[Jane]

Yes, we're coming along.

 
They are soooo cute.

Agreed

Back from cardiac rehab, where they made me watch a couple of lame American Heart Association videos about heart-healthy eating.  When those were over, I listened on my iPod to a podcast that I'd downloaded from the American Theatre Wing - an interview with Gerard Alessandrini about Forbidden Broadway.  What's weird is that they talk about selections they're going to play and the actual tracks have been edited out.

How much did that cost you‽

[Jane]

Back from my appointment.  A little loopy right now, but, I was told to go home and sleep it off.  Nine polyps removed, the DR said they did NOT look cancerous.  They will be biopsied and I'll know in a few weeks.

That is a lot of polyps!  They can usually tell if they are cancer.  Some might be the kind that could become cancer.  Since you got them it won't really matter.  My guess you will be doing this again in three or four years.

[Jane]

Wow, that was fast!!  They must really like you

[Druxy]

BTW, lest I forget:  for those of you picking up the new Blu-ray of THE MALTESE FALCON next week, give yourselves a little surprise and listen to the German language track (make sure to select it before you start the film).

Also take a look at the documentary (assuming it's the same one from the 2-disc DVD Special Edition).  You might see somebody that you know.

 

[Jane]

DR George,

I am suddenly very depressed. I just heard on the news about 18 year-old gay Rutgers student Tyler Clementi who killed himself by jumping off the George Washington Bridge after his roommate and another student secretly videotaped him having sex and broadcast the tape over the internet.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/victim-secret-dorm-sex-tape-commits-suicide/story?id=11758716

I feel so sorry for his family, and I'm so angry at the families of these dumbass students responsible I cannot see straight. Don't these idiots teach their children anything about ethics or morality?

Chances are the parents of these kids are more horrified than you are.

Congrats DR George!

[Jane]

In other, perhaps less distressing news, I've just discovered that someone quoted one of my reviews on a Wikipedia article about a film.  I find this rather humorous for some reason.

Were you given credit for the quote?

Actually, three to FIVE years. . .(sounds like a Marx Brothers routine).
