One of these days I must get a digital camera. Right after I get a new DVD player.  Speaking of which... I always tape my story meetings so that I don't have to be furiously making notes as we talk. Yesterday I had a VERY long, complex meeting. As I was setting out to go, I put a fresh tape in my little recorder. When I tested it, it sounded like The Chipmunks. I changed batteries, but still Alvin. So, I ran to Staples, found a regular recorder (not the microtape kind) - which they said they didn't have - but, of course, they did, set it up and rushed to the meeting. Technology! Sheeesh.

If I recall correctly, Justin sang "A Moment Like This" at the top of the finale show during the first season. Kelly sang "Before Your Love," and then Justin sang it, and then Kelly sang "A Moment Like This" when she won.

It's kind of like when Mary Tyler Moore presented the Tony for Best Musical--you knew when she walked out on that stage that MILLIE was going to win for Best Musical.

Yikes!  From what I understand, Nicole Kidman is presenting Best Musical this year.  What does that bode?

I have tried and I have tried but I can't think of any caper films. If, as JRand53 said, ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW is a caper film then I pick that one.

Is LIVE FAST, DIE YOUNG, with TCBs fave Dorothy Provine, a caper film. If so then that one is my favorite.

My grandmother makes this marshmallow/pineapple concoction that is really tasty. I don't know exactly what's in it, but she uses the mini marshmallows and pineapple chunks and I think Cool Whip or Marshmallow Fluff. It's fantabulous, though I usually end up picking out the pineapple after a while.

This sounds like Ambrosia salad, which, it seems, that everyone makes differently.  My sister adds cubes of cream cheese and canned peach chunks  to the mix.  Unfortunately, it tends to come out a light orangey color and with all the various chunks in it it sort of looks like--er, well, I think you get the picture...

DR PennyO I forgot that you reside in the Pacific Northwest...you are here...you are there...you are everywhere! And you must be at the HHW get together of course!

Where is Jane. She is the deciding factor on when we have it, I believe.

Maybe Cal Bolder can come too!

That's the stuff. I've never heard of putting peaches in it. In fact, that kind of makes me want to vomit on the floor.

There's a new girl in town with a brand new style
She was just passin' through
But if things work out she's gonna stay awhile...

Ok, we need to continue thinking of our Pacific Northwest get together! Jane I think you had mentioned that September might be a good time for you to come up to Portland. What do you think?

I'm all for it, whenever wherever!  Portland in September sounds fantastico.

Ah...that was my master plan, MB. Perhaps someone else has a different song that they can suggest to run through our collective minds.

Thanks to the damned GEICO gecko on the television last night...

Whoa-oh-oh-ooooooh, whoa-oh-oh-oooooooh
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Them cats were fast as lightning...

I just got out of a 3-3/4 hour meeting and we only had one 10-minute break!  Sheesh!  Anyway, I'm off to lunch.  Just had to share.

Jed, as I said, Horizons is the next generation of Dynix.  If we go with them (I just found out), then we don't have to go out for bids, we don't have to do a Request For Proposal.  It'll just be an "upgrade" and save lots of money on the bids and RFPs.  I know that we (well, I) can adjust to whatever they decide.  I just hope that it is all for the best (a Candide and Godspell reference).

This mini-frenzy brought to you by my taking a break in packing.

With the school year coming to an end (meaning my employment as a substitute teacher ends with it), and because I have yet to land a job on the west side of the state, I'll be moving back home for a little while.  Thought I was out of there 4 years ago, but kinda makes sense to avoid paying rent while unemployed, ya know. :D  Hopefully, I'll find gainful employment in the Seattle/Tacoma area soon, and won't have to be back down in Ellensburg for long.

One real advantage to living as bare bones as I do... packing an apartment takes no time at all!

Ahh yes, I'm familiar with Dynix, George.  I believe it's what the CWU library was using when I first started working there.  I know there was a switchover at some point, but can't recall now what they switched to.

Sometimes there are so many posts to read that I forget to post.

Went to the bagel shop earlier.  Got some delicious poppy seeds.

Got KILL BILL for the next couple of days.  I may watch it later, although I tend to think I won't like it.

I also need to start planting flowers.

Anybody have any interesting plans for Memorial Day weekend?

I have a friend from NYC coming in.  And luckily he is addicted to my favorite rib joint. Yeah.

Stop it Jason!!! I was just sitting here, reading the posts and casually singing I Get a Kick Out of You, but now I'm going crazy!

I don't know from caper movies.

I am eating a sandwich.

Also news of casting for Dracula, the Musical.

http://www.playbill.com/news/article/86416.html

Well, I was about ready to pass on the whole, Dracula, The Musical, until I got to the name Chuck Wagner.  Wow! What a beautiful man.  He was wonderful, not only as the blonde Prince in Into the Woods, but he made a very sexy Beast in Beauty and the Beast.  Now I have to try and figure out whether or not this show will be a hit.  If not, I guess I will have to hitchhike to New York this summer.

Memorial Day: Just going out to Long Island to Anthony's parents where we will do little or nothing. We may watch the Elaine Strictch HBO broadcast or we may tape it for later viewing. We will be going to a BBQ on Sunday. I will most likely be E&T for the entire weekend. I will pop in when I get a chance but I will have loads of reading to do on Tuesday morning when I return to the office.

I thought the exact same thing last night. When Diana started "I Believe," I felt for sure she had lost, and I was right. I have to say I still prefer her rendition over Fantasia's, but then I like Broadway belters, and Diana has that big voice that many Broadway leading ladies have had for decades.

Memorial Day weekend - Moving.  Will be E&T all weekend as a result.  Most likely take a big ol' carload of stuff down tomorrow night (or early Saturday morning), then my sister will be helping me on a couple trips with my dad's pickup for the furniture on Saturday, and Sunday I'll be cleaning and grabbing any last few little items left around.  

Due to the holiday, I won't be able to get my internet connection hooked up down there until Tuesday.  It makes absolutely no sense to me, but none of the big national internet companies have local dial-up numbers for Ellensburg (a town of over 15,000 and home of a state university), while many smaller rural towns on this side of the state do have local numbers.  Oh well, guess I'll be paying a bit more for a local provider while I'm there.

Oh, forgot to mention why that won't be done until Tuesday... The fershluganah local dial-up providers down there don't allow you to sign up for service online, but rather I have to go in to their office to set things up.
