And the word of the day is: TECTIFORM!
TOD:
Most really bad thrillers I likely did not get through, but one really bad one that I did actually finish is the 1970 Bollywood film THE TRAIN.
However, even this film did have it's good moments...all of the song picturizations were great...just take a look at this;

For those of you who are interested, here are the contestants for the next BIG BROTHER. Looks to be an interesting group...and more then a few of them are eye candy!

The car seemed fine this morning. Didn't smell and looked clean. We decided not to tell Sam it happened to try to prevent a total freak out. Well, she figured it out and totally freaked out. Not sure if she's still going to come to my house next weekend. Plans for boating were canceled, dinner plans canceled, you name it.
Good morning, all! I slept late, and I must say I am feeling better than yesterday.

One of my least favorite stupid thrillers is Jagged Edge - but there was a whole slew of 'em in the 1980s.

That seems rather extreme. Was the apology sincere or done while laughing?
I am pleased to say that Kitten Jose has been adopted.
Due to the elections in Mexico this weekend. The law is there is no alcohol served in public from 1:00pm until tomorrow evening. This excludes restaurants when served with food. Therefore, no swim up bar, no lobby bar, etc etc. Personally, I don't care, but to watch others (mostly Americans) pitch a fit is humorous to me. Do they not realize they are guests in someone else's country and therefore must abide by their rules? The resort may cater to Americans, however, they still try and uphold the traditions of their country. The sense of entitlement of Americans saddens me. I'm going to win the lottery and move to Europe.

Oh it's much worse than that now. I don't even want to talk about it, I am just too mad. I'm home now. I think I'll go to SITP and try to forget I even have relatives
Back home for a moment. Even though her sister and I both told her to go nowhere near the computer, somehow the sister managed to unplug the power strip, so I had to plug it back in and start everything up again.

Skammen!
JMK is in Wisconsin.
We purchased buttermilk and blueberries for pancakes tomorrow. On the way home a red fox trotted across our road in front of the car. :)
And nothing. :)
DR Elmore - glad to hear you're on the road to recovery before you have to be on the road to Ohio!

Mine too! And believe it or not, I was hired to write JAGGED EDGE II. I kept resisting...courtroom dramas, while I like them, I can't write. But more importantly, my problem with the movie was Glenn Close's character; I just found her unprofessional. First, falling apart because she'd screwed up a case in the past; and then getting emotionally involved with a client.
But they kept coming at me to write the sequel, dangling Glenn Close, a major star at me (and very nice), and when I asked for impossible money; they agreed. Hardest thing I ever wrote, took forever to find my passion and interest in the piece, finally did, and my whole thrust was her character finding her professionalism again. Unfortunately, though I ultimately liked my script, I think I was more enamoured of the new characters I had created than the Close's. Needless to say, after a draft, we all mutually agreed to go our seperate ways. And that's why you never saw Jagged Edge II.
DR Cillaliz - I'm so sorry to hear about the family drama. Life's so short and these kinds of things are just not worth it.
He had me snap some photos of him so that he could lure men on the internet. Here he is, all 6 ft 4 inches of backwoods hillbilly.

How annoying!

Jane - I'm stepping into what you're saying about Tylenol.
My doctor is recommending that i take Aleve (sp?) every day. This scares me for some reason. But I'm not exactly sure I can explain it rationally to anyone's s satisfaction.

I haven't been posting about day-to-day stuff because it is clear that one of the computer-oriented people is googling me regularly. I'm doing the usual stuff about theater, posting parodies, but nothing that spills into issues that might interest them.
But I'm being very careful how I say this:
Had a nice time visiting with my buddy Mark who is visiting from Wyoming. He is now on his way back home. I wish he would move back to Oregon, but I don't think that will happen until his parents pass on. One of the reasons he moved back home to Wyoming was because of them. Mark lost both a brother and a sister over the last few years, and thought it best to go back and keep an eye on the rest of his family.
However, he and his partner of 7 years broke up and now he is a man on the prowl. He had me snap some photos of him so that he could lure men on the internet. Here he is, all 6 ft 4 inches of backwoods hillbilly.

Tomorrow a couple of my friends are going on a trip to Canada, including Montreal. Had it not been for my accident I would have gone with them. These women often travel without their husbands and I've never been tempted to join them. This is a trip Keith has no interest in visiting having been to these places more than once. I've yet to see Montreal and that part of Canada.
BK - We didn't get our PROMISES PROMISES yet. Was it sent out?

Wasn't one version of the sequel made into a movie (forget the title) with Burt Reynolds?
They changed all of the character's names, so it was not really a sequel.
As I recall, it got terrible reviews and was quickly forgotten.
If Samantha won't visit you maybe she will make an extra visit to your mother. I'm very sorry you are going through this.
