Well, you've read the notes, the notes were pithy and yet piquant, and now it is time for you to post until the incommunicado cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: INTERLARD!
-
Before I went on my diet, I had quite a bit of interlard.
-
Vixmom is in the house.... and trying to catch up on all that happened since I left. Please do email me, somebody, if I have missed any really important events, deaths, marriages, births, new jobs etc .
-
Good morning, all! I have a full day planned: a bit of Christmas arrangng, a bit of personal shopping, a movie with our DR Ginny, and then dinner with my friends, Alan, Liliane, and their daughter Julie. I would guess that their older daughter is back to Ohio State University.
In the past two weeks over 40 new members have signed up for this site, and only DR singingnymph is remotely posting. I woud suggest, Dear Friend BK, that rather than attacking the acolytes as wussburgers, these peculiar- perhaps lurking, perhaps stalking - new members be attacked in PMs for their covert activities.
Perhaps each of us DRs should contact 3-5 newbies, cordially welcome them to the party that is HHW, and encourage them to contribute.
-
Good Morning dear elmore. How is everyothing going for you in Ohio?
Please send my love to Ginny and keep some for yourself!
-
And the word of the day is: INTERLARD!
Gee...I've only been here a short time and I've already seen this word!
I think I posited at the time that it is when you add Crisco® to your pancake batter.
My DH thinks it is the intermediary step in rendering pig fat: beyond bacon and soon to be suet. (He's so alliterative!)
-
Sunday morning greetings! Yes, DR Elmore and I are going to a noon-ish movie, maybe do a little shopping, and maybe have some Graters ice cream.
Hi, DR Vixmom! We sure miss you around here.
-
STRANGE INTERLARD is one of my favorite Eugene O'Meal plays.
-
I think I posited at the time that it is when you add Crisco® to your pancake batter.
I looked it up:
interlard \in-tuhr-LARD\, transitive verb:
To insert between; to mix or mingle; especially, to introduce something foreign or irrelevant into; as, "to interlard a conversation with oaths or allusions."
I guess Crisco in pancake batter could work as an example!
-
And the word of the day is: INTERLARD!
Casey would waltz
With a strawberry blonde
Who had trouble staying on her feet
Because her shoes were INTERLARDED with real lard.
-
Speaking of lard, one of my favorite experiences of my teen years involved lard, so i repeat it in honor of the lard part of the word of the day:
I worked at a cotton candy stand in Coney Island, just two blocks from my home, and couldn't quite get the handle on making the cotton candy look pretty, so they put me on the Belgian waffle station, making waffles from scratch. We made up all kinds of stories to tell customers about the origin of the Belgian waffle as we made a fresh, almost from scratch waffle for the customer. The one thing that we had to hide was that we were making them with lard, so we were taught how to artfully keep the lard under the counter, wipe a brush along the lard, and then brush the waffle iron with the lard before pouring the batter into the waffle iron. If anyone asked, we had to say it was made with lard rather than butter, but maybe three people actually asked what that fatty substance was.
-
"Those darn people at CocaCola have been at it again!" shrieked Joan. "Somehow, they've managed to INTERLARD our entire DARN LITER bottle shipment with their darn swooshy-wave logo! Darn them all to heck!!!"
(I know, I know, the real Joan would never have said "darn," but the word for the day isn't INTERLAMD.)
-
My Hungarian born grandfather, who was a wonderful cook, used to render pork lard for cooking. All of his meals were absolutely delicious. He was also a true believer in heavy cream, sour cream and butter in all his cooking. He always had a large garden including one each of a pear, cherry and peach tree. he would can his own vegetable and fruits. He lived to be 86, but it wasn't long enough in my opinion.. I still miss him.
corected for spelling errors lest I be chided ;)
-
Well I must leave you all since I must away to church.....I did catch up on the past few days and I am pleased that that elmore's dad is doing so well.
VIBES TO ALL>>>> you are in my thoughts although I am not on the board as much as I would like...
I hate my job
-
Good morning!
Another beautiful, cold autumn day. Not going to get out of the 50s again, but it's still just gorgeous outside for this time of year.
-
bk, I hope you can thoroughly enjoy your mostly day off. You always stay so busy with so many projects in various states of preparation that I hope you can just turn everything off that's remotely business-related and relax.
When I was working two jobs and also doing theater a lot more regularly than I do now, I used to call these "brain recuperation days."
Enjoy yours!
-
Because I'll be heading out later this afternoon to do the installation/calibration of my friend's new HDTV, I'll be posting at odder times than usual today. Don't want to be totally E&T after this morning's session, so I'll be on the forum at various intervals during the day.
-
Has anyone seen BORAT yet? A friend has suggested he might want to see it this week at some point, and I'm kind of wishy-washy on the matter.
-
Delighted to read that the new CAROUSEL looks so good. I'm looking forward to receiving it, hopefully, this week along with the new issues of THE KING & I and FLOWER DRUM SONG.
I passed on SOUTH PACIFIC for the moment. I love the score, but it's my least favorite of the R&H movies, and I doubt I've watched the non-anamorphic DVD I already have more than twice.
-
Three generations of my family (ok 6 people, but they are from 3 generations) went to STRIKING 12 at the Fairmont Opera House last night. It will be at the Daryl Roth Theatre in Union Square starting on Tuesday. There were raves from all - even the ones who didn't want to go. So much so that they called me immediately after the show to tell me what I missed, something they rarely do. So I am passing on their recommendation to see it to anyone interested. Here's the website again http://www.striking12.com/

Can't find the BRAIN FROM PLANET X site on MySpace! If anyone has a link.
Sunday....and I have to work.
Oh well. Everyone enjoy the day.
MR BK didn't you say you had A DISTANT TRUMPET to watch?
I liked Mr Arthur Hill....but Owen Marshall was such a cheat. He always won cases with useless, silly information that we were NEVER given and that should have been obvious from the beginning....
-
So, how is it that a movie like The Chairman gets the royal treatment & a gem like People Will Talk gets chopped to "full screen" & put in the flimsiest dvd box made?

Cillaliz & Edisauris, the girls and boys are darling. TPunks are cuties too.
George-Nice to know Ebonie is doing well, not that I didn’t expect it. Our cats have always adjusted nicely to their new homes. Their people are what they want most of all.
Vixmom I’m very sorry you hate your job. Have you thoughts of returning to your previous one, if that’s possible?

The only "real" registered users of late are edisaurus and singingnymph, both of whom have joined our merry troupe. When are you back in NY? We open in less than four weeks, baby, and I believe you've got about seventeen numbers to orchestrate :-) I also have the incindental music to send you, along with the way we did the military stuff at the end.

Is that like being a real boy? (Or real girl in my case?) With the part of Papa Geppetto played by Mr. Bruce himself?
-
I guess Crisco in pancake batter could work as an example!
Your pancakes would be even better if you substituted bacon fat for the Crisco - and you would be closer to doing a true interlarding!
der Brucer
I presume all good southern gals keep a can on the side of the stove for holding the bacon fat until needed.
-
My DH thinks it is the intermediary step in rendering pig fat: beyond bacon and soon to be suet. (He's so alliterative!)
That's the title of my next movie:
HOG-GALAXY TREK: BEYOND BACON AND ON TO SUET!

Edisaurus-
'Twasn't always thus, Edisaurus...I was just thinking today about the great record shops in Atlanta and wondering if any were still there, specifically Wax 'n' Facts in Little Five Points. That place used to be like Heaven to me.
And there used to be a great cinema for documentaries and more indy-style features called The Tara, but I think that closed a few years back.

Thank you for the lovely comment Bruce! I am having a ton of fun working with you, and still learning new things
The party I "dragged" Bruce to the other night was for the Hispanic Holiday Dia de los muertos, or translated, Day of the Dead. It is to celebrate the lives and souls of those we love who have passed away, and they come back for the night to dance and revel and drink and be merry.
I am posting two pictures, this first one is of Bruce and I looking quite happy eating our tamales.
-
This is the alter that is dedicated to the souls of loved ones. One can bring a candle and a gift for the picture.
My fathers picture is circled in red.
-
Andriana & Bruce, very sweet photo.
Adriana you are so young to have lost your father, sorry. I must have felt good to have his photo there.
-
Mr. Bruce, the info at
http://www.theatermania.com/content/show.cfm/show/125944
is different from the info at the myspace profile.
Am I correct in thinking that the myspace info is right?
-
Andriana & Bruce, very sweet photo.
Adriana you are so young to have lost your father, sorry. I must have felt good to have his photo there.
It is very comforting, thank you.

yes, we changed the adult ticket price to 15 dollars, the student/senior/veteran admission is still 6 dollars

It is SO nice outside. SPent a little time in the fresh air earlier this afternon. Not bitterly cold, so it was nice walking around in the fresh air and sunshine.
-

And the Friday matinee isn't listed on the theater mania site.
-
I did have time to watch some things this afternoon but not really what I was thinking I would.
I started with a CSI: NY episode about the death of a supermodel during a runway show. No, it wasn't Vincent from PROJECT RUNWAY who did her in. There were much more surprising motives to be uncovered.
-
I watched another CSI: NY episode, this one concerning CSI Danny being locked accidentally in a panic room with the dead body. I remembered this one very clearly from having seen it last season.
-
By the way, is that really Martin Short? (She asked naievely.)
-
Reading about the latest attempts to have the HARRY POTTER books removed from school libraries put me in a mood for a HARRY POTTER film, so I put in the last one, THE GOBLET OF FIRE, and watched about thirty minutes of it.
Really am looking forward to THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX film late next spring.
-
And there used to be a great cinema for documentaries and more indy-style features called The Tara, but I think that closed a few years back.
Is this it?
UA TARA (http://atlanta.citysearch.com/profile/3015927/?brand=smx_movie-nc)
The biggest fish in Atlanta's small pond of arthouses.
Nominated for Best Movie Theater for its indie appeal, this is the best place for local cinephiles to get their art-house fix. Cannes and Sundance favorites overshadow the occasional big-budget blockbuster. Tara was the first local theater to show "The Blair Witch Project." Old-fashioned, bare-bones equipment does just fine here--John Sayles' latest sually doesn't require DTS, THX or Dolby Digital.

Heading out now to install and calibrate my friend's new TV. I'm really excited for him to have HDTV in his home for the first time. Sad that the first HDTV program he'll get to watch if NFL football, but it won't be long until DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES tonight!
-
DR Elmore and I have been to the northern 'burbs of Cincinnati, where we saw Helen Mirren's The Queen. We both enjoyed it immensely and discussed it all the way back to Middletown. A delightful afternoon.
-
Not really Mr. Short - there are about six Jiminy Glicks on myspace. The added matinee is mostly for high school students - I'm not sure it's open to the public.
-
Just proofed act one of the Alice and Emily CD - it sounds really good - I just have a few little nitpicky fixes. I made some paper edits in dialogue and was able to find another minute we could take out of that act, but that means I'd have to get a little over four minutes out of act two and rather than go nuts trying to do that, I think I'll just make it two CDs and charge our usual special low two CD price of 22.98. However, I think I'll do a "holiday" special - if ordered prior to 12/31, 19.98.
-
Bruce-Did you see my post about the birthday card I found, or did I miss your response?
-
I'm thinking about bringing some of my own merry troupe from Fresburg (Fresno) & surrounding areas for the matinee on the 9th, which is why I wanted to make sure of the price. Also, is it LACC students only, or will any current student ID do?
In the meantime, I'm deciding which lucky friend or relative in SoCal gets to put me up that weekend.
Is it best friend Jayse in Lake Balboa?
Aunt Laurie in Manhattan Beach?
Or Cousin Lloyd in Thousand Oaks?
This could get exciting.

FOR GEORGE:
Cannibal Blood Drink (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_28968,00.html)
1 gallon cranberry juice
1 gallon orange juice
1 cup raspberry sorbet
1 quart seltzer
Body Part Ice Cubes, recipe follows
Mix the juices together. Add the sorbet, softened, and stir until it disappears. Add the seltzer.
Before serving, chill with the Body Part Cubes of floating face and hands.
Pour into glasses and stir with glow stick swizzle sticks.
Body Part Ice Cubes:
12 cups cold water
2 to 3 drops green food coloring
Special Equipment:
1 roll packing tape
1 roll plastic wrap
2 plastic gloves
1 plastic Halloween face mask
Color the cold water with enough green food coloring to make it stand out against the background of the punch.
Use packing tape to seal of the eyes, nose and mouth openings of the mask. Line the inside of mask with plastic wrap to prevent leaking. Place it in a bowl that will hold the mask as still as possible while freezing. Fill with the colored water up to the line of the mask, making sure not to spill over if possible. Place bowl in freezer to solidify, at least 24 hours.
Fill 2 food service gloves with colored water and twist and knot opening closed to make a tight seal. Freeze gloves for 12 to 24 hours.
When frozen, cut plastic gloves off. Take ice out of mask, putting hot water on the outside of the mask, if necessary, to help it come out easily.
Carefully float the face and hands in the punch.

You also missed George's response at 6:46PM. ;D

How did I miss that? It was written with love, I'm sure.
-
Bruce - Your decision about the 2-CD set sounds absolutely right, from my perspective as a consumer who's bought live-event Cd's and been disappointed when they were edited too much. (The recent Barbara Cook at the Met is an example; moments I loved in the live presentation are missing.)
I'd bet people will want to know that they're getting the full, complete concert that was done at Town Hall, and especially given that you're giving a window of opportunity to buy the 2-CD set for just a little more than the single-CD price, it sounds like the best way to go in terms of giving the customers what they would want from a concert recording.
-
I'm feeling out of sorts and very kvetchy, so I'm not going to the Angela Lansbury reads Dorothy Parker event tonight, but Skip is going with a friend who will use my ticket. I would go if I weren't feeling under the weeather, but in all honesty, I had been excited about this event when the buzz was that it was going to be possibly the last time we might get to see Ms. Lansbury onstage on Broadway. But now that she's doing a full run of a play next spring, the excitement of this Dorothy Parker event has dwindled a bit.
-
May you be in to sorts and unkvetchy soon DR FJL.
I'm pleased about the 2 Cd decision also BK.

I should see about getting dinner on the table. Going semi-Chinese tonight, with sweet-and-sour salad, battered and fried chicken thigh pieces (to be dipped in a ginger/sesame/soy dressing), and sesame noodles. I'm thinking of also battering/frying some pineapple chunks, also for dipping.
-
I recieved an interesting comment from one of my co-workers this evening, shortly before my shift was over. She noted how I was getting six days of work this week, while some of our co-workers are getting maybe four days. She was pleased for me, but I hadn't realized how much time I was logging in. Makes me wonder what I'm doing right.
Or maybe I've become Mister Available. :-\
-
Speaking of logging in long days, Tuesday is going to be a long one for me. At poll watcher training today I ended up getting a second shift - now I have to be at one polling place from 6:30 am to noon and then my other shift at a potential trouble precinct from 5:00 PM until the polls close at 9:00 PM. In between I have to remember to vote. It's going to be a beautiful day, so I'm planning to do some things around the house - we'll see. Then there is the post election get together starting at 9:00PM. I must admit I'm looking forward to it.

This afternoon I saw Running With Scissors. Loved all of the performances, Annette Benning is a standout just like the reviews have been saying, but Joseph Fiennes and Evan Rachel Wood are also most excelllent. I am a huge Augusten Burroughs fan and have read all of his books. I last read RWS a few years back so I had forgotten just enough of the details that I wasn't constantly comparing it to the book. My friend who had just read the book found the movie boring but liked the performances. She just felt she could have done without seeing the movie.

THE QUEEN was quite wonderful, and Helen Mirren has proven excellent at playing both Elizabeth I and II this year. I had a lovely day with DR Ginny and a lovely dinner with the Freemans. I think it is time to sleep.
THE QUEEN has me thinking that I wouldn't mind seeing THE MADNESS OF KING GEORGE again in the near future.
-
Enough about Helen Mirren, how were the corgis in the movie?
-
Are we safely past the all-time low yet?
-
Oh, I've been wanting to see THE QUEEN. I meant to go to THE PRESTIGE this weekend, but didn't get there.
-
The weather was incredibly wonderful as it will be all week, so I've been working outside on the yard etc It's been really fun. I'm slowly making changes outside and people are starting to notice and comment (favorably) about it. That's really nice
-
FJL - How are Toby and Dylan? I'm sure they enjoyed having you stay home tonight
-
Cilla - Something tells me that Toby and Dylan didn't even realize there was ever a chance they would be left alone tonight, so it was just ho-hum for them, except for the times I'd give them a treat or two.
-
Lovely edible brains, singingnymph!
Thanks! They really bring out my inner zombie.
-
Lovely picture of Bruce and Adriana
A lovely way also to remember your father. My condolences...

As long as he stays in SD I will be safe....

I think the all-time low is 150 but I could be wrong..
-
I have a paper to write...& no motivation. Somehow the grades just aren't enough anymore.

TV installation was very simple and went fine. The couple of HDTV channels that the receiver didn't automatically pick up, I added manually, and it picked them right up. Very pleased about how well things went.
We did go back and forth between the NFL and the NASCAR race, both being shown in high def on Fox, CBS, and NBC. The golf tournament on ABC wasn't being shown in HD.
-
[sigh] The all-time low is 118 set on the day that the server went down.
The all-time low on a day without electronics to blame is 122.
-
I think the all-time low is 150 but I could be wrong..
It's lower than that, I'm thinking in the 120-130 range, but don't remember exactly
-
My friend Jeff bought me dinner to thank me for the installation and calibration. We went to a Chinese restaurant where I proceeded to inhale my food. I hadn't had anything all day.
-
Ok, so we're past it, but we could do better. :)
-
Thanks Matt. I was close. We're well over that, but this is still pretty low
-
I stand corrected :-)
-
I got home and finished HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE. This is not a DVD to use as a reference disc. It's dark and very monochromatic for the most part. The sound isn't Dolby DIgital-EX either, though I did enable EX decoding and it did send sound though the rear surround as well as the two back surrounds.
-
I had 40 minutes before DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES so I put in my trusty GREY'S ANATOMY and watched the second season premiere episode. One of my favorites of the entire season.
-
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES
iwrters heard my pleas and got rid of the annoying Nora. I wish I could say I felt bad for her, but I didn't. I think the fallout from this episode will be SO major for the rest of the season, so I found it a very effective episode.
-
A parody lyric in progress, inspired by elmore's post above:
Mirren, Mirren, on the screen
Who's the baddest thesp in town
Who can switch from Queen to Queen?
Who's the fairy who made her gown?
Well, I said it's a parody lyric in progress :)
-
BROTHERS & SISTERS began with a light and airy tone. It turned heavily dramatic for most of the show, and then ended with a feel-good conclusion.
Loved this episode.
-
There was a pretty serious football runover tonight, so I hope I'll be able to get COLD CASE and WITHOUT A TRACE for viewing tomorrow. I know I'll get DEXTER which I'm looking forward to seeing.

Trying to teach my mom to use tabs in her browser is like trying to teach a pig to sing.

That's hysterical! Thanks! ;D

DEXTER was particularly weird tonight. And that's saying a lot when talking about this show.

singingnymph, are you in school? Where? What are you studying?

OH MY GOODNESS!! My sister LOVED this show!!!! Too bad it won't be released in time for Christmas. And her birthday's in September...I don't think I could wait that long to give it to her. I'll have to tell her so that she can get it for herself.
-
singingnymph, are you in school? Where? What are you studying?
Yes, I'm taking classes through Kaplan University (online) & during the day I'm... (wait for it) ...a yard duty teacher.
I'm just taking general ed classes at the moment whilst I rethink what I want to be when I grow up.
I was attending CSUN & really wanted in their music therapy program, but when that didn't pan out & other...stuff happened, I moved home.

In short, I'm a lazy-arse.

Never try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and annoys the pig

Precisely.

PORKY AND BESS _ that's the opera about - well, never mind
-
Dammit, I have The Brain song stuck in my head.
Oh well, usually it's Honey What'cha Doin' Tonight. ;)
-
CORGI AND BETH - that's the opera about - oh, never mind that one, either
-
What about Corky & Bess?

I just want something for my sciatica.
And my acid reflux.
And my TMD.
And... yeah, I'll stop now.

Interesting about the L.A. Times review for SISTER ACT. The critic starts off with "has Broadway blockbuster written all over it," then picks at it and picks at it, as if he's hedging and can later say he was right whether the show turns out to be a major hit or not. But I'll bet that pull-quote ends up being a money quote for the show's runs in Pasadena and Atlanta.
-
Probably.
-
Let's just say that Sister Act deserves to be picked apart - and it does not deserve to have that pull quote just yet. But, I knew the LA critics would do just what they're doing - they're the worst batch of critics in the nation and invariably fall all over themselves for work that doesn't deserve it.
-
I want to know if I have ever had occasion to meet singingnymph. That is what I want to know. We're going to put up another couple of Brain songs in the next couple of weeks. How many here have become "friends" of The Brain? And what are your friend names?

Nope, not unless you ever came to hear Jeff Harlan sing/play at Perks, in Northridge.
And I've friended The Brain on myspace. I'm Meg.
-
BRAIN'S SONG - wasn't that a movie of the week many years ago?
-
Interesting. Meg is a singingnymph, Bruce was just a singer at NYMF. Coincidence? Perhaps, but pehaps not.
-
Correction...not unless you ever came to hear Jeff on a night I was there. But He probably would've introduced us, cos he's nice like that.
He introduced me to Tom Wilson, who's an absolute riot.
-
Brain's song. Something to do with a bare chicago man playing the piccolo. As I've not seen the movie - that may be a tastless comment!
-
FJL...
Funny har-har.
-
In my dreams, my refresh button makes someone post.
-
I'm watching "Desperate Housewives"...OMG!! :o
-
As they say, "good riddance to bad rubbish."

And since we're sooooo close...

For the cast party?

Hello everybody. I don't really have anything to say, except that everybody's boys and girls (of the feline variety) are all quite beautiful and/or handsome. I would post pictures of my own, but my girl is already my avatar and I don't have a picture of my boy. And I can't take one because the camera appears to be in California at the moment.
Good night.

The LA critics are an odd bunch...

bk, will there be a DVD of brain?

Lovely weather here tonight... It is unusually warm for November and I am not complaining...

I don't think there will be a DVD, but then again, you never know. At this point, I'm trying to figure out some way that there can be a cast album.
