Recently I compiled all the recorded versions have of Frenesi and Perfidia.
(Both are composed by Dominguez)

Tomovoz · « **Reply #211 on:** August 13, 2007, 03:36:00 PM »

Perhaps A Mexican Hat Dance for the new page.

(I do enjoy the version by Allan Sherman)

I am my own frenesi.

I'll leave it for others to continue the Bossa Nova.

Thirty years since Elvis Presley died. "Bossa Nova Baby"

Today's Topic of the Day (favorite Bossa Nova tracks):

The Girl From Ipanema
The Boy From...

Bossa Nova Eyes - Janis Siegel and Richie Cole

(I'm sure that there are others, but that's all I can think of right now)

A trick I learned in College when trying to memorize lines. Study them before retiring. When sleeping it's amazing but the lines must go over and over in the cranium.
This trick also works in studying for exams.
Have all our Actor friends experienced the same experience??(now there's a sentence for you)

Funnily, I found this also works well with dance. I would lay in bed and go through each movement and move my feet ever so slightly, and when I woke up, even if I was not co-ordinated enough yet to do the moves, I knew the routine instinctively.

Wasn't there a sitcom called Who's The Bossa?

(Have we already done Bossa Me Mucho?)

I'm going to pay off my house this week. I've lived here for 27 years and bought it for $26K. Oh, those were the days...

Of course, it was in such a crime-ridden slum that my mother cried when she saw it, but now it will be surrounded by $300K to $700K houses. Who knows if they will sell, though, in this market!

CONGRATS!!!! I have a couple friends that made a copy of the mortgage and then burned it in a ceremony (complete with many adult beverages) after it was paid off...of course the key is they made a copy of the mortgage before burning it

Memorization vibes to DR JRAND~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess I'm lucky, I've never had problems memorizing things

Cillaliz · « **Reply #223 on:** August 13, 2007, 04:43:00 PM »

I should say, the one thing I can't seem to memorize are dates. As in when things happened not the other kind

Cillaliz · « **Reply #224 on:** August 13, 2007, 04:45:09 PM »

It's a gift when it comes to cross examination. I can find a prior inconsistent statement because I know exactly where to find it and exactly what it was. On the other hand, I am beginning to have moments where I don't remember things exactly right..

Cillaliz · « **Reply #225 on:** August 13, 2007, 05:16:08 PM »

When I got up this morning, I looked in the mirror and since it is "fat" week (water retention, don't you know) I went "ugh!" so I decided to wear something bright that didn't emphasize my belly. I chose a bright orange shirt and a flowered skirt with a fun blue necklace. It was upbeat and fun and put me in a good mood. Well, this afternoon, I sat down next to my client as we were preparing to start depositions...the lawyer across the table looked at us and burst out laughing. Without thinking, I had chosen to wear a shirt that was exactly the same color as the county jail uniforms! We were quite a pair, looking snazzy in our bright orange outfits.

Only 351 more monthly payments and my condo is all mine!

I must say the telephonic device has not stopped ringing for the last three hours. That and two or three e-mails arriving every three minutes.

Well, our DS Rob is in the process of filling out his first apartment rental application for the studio we looked at tonight near UC. It's on the third floor of a house and shares a kitchen and bath with another studio on the same floor. All together, there are 8 guys (mostly engineering students) in the building (triples on the first and second floors) and it's a 5-minute walk from campus.

Special, special thanks to DR tomovoz for a delightful little package which arrived in my mailbox today! Loads of love, and as we all know, LOVE IS COMPANY!
