Outside my kitchen window this morning, on our property, was a mother deer nursing her fawn.

Not to get controversial but if substantial liberties were not taken with the real life facts, we wouldn't have works like GYPSY - so when is it OK and when is it not OK? If the work turns out to be a great work, does that make the liberties acceptable?

I guess I draw the line at a woman who had obvious difficulties to begin with and wasn't around to defend herself when the film came out (at least Gypsy was still alive when that came out--and she *loved* the musical, from everything I've read). "Frances" goes beyond the pale by inventing a conspiracy that never existed and then compounds it with the hideous lobotomy assertion, and all because both the source material's author and the film's co-producers are/were $cientologists.

I thought that MOW about overpopulation had the Michael from Mod Squad (what was his last name?), not Michael Parks. I remember it, too. Didn't it take place in the NW?

I've always felt a bit let down after watching "The Day After." The buildup is terrific...but after the bombs hit...well...the drama is done...and it's all very bleak and sad, naturally, but it seems a lot of filling-in was done to flesh out the time block Jason Robards was phenomenal in it, though.

A lot of "The Day After" was filmed at the University of Kansas the year after I transfered to Iowa. Friends told me that the cameras were directly over my old dorm room (which was on the top floor of one of the dorms on the hill there) I do remember it was fun watching those scenes and seeing my old view. I had lots of friends who were extras in the scenes of injured people

Just discovered the most lovely thing - a bird has built a little nest above a light fixture just outside my patio door, and it's out there nesting, I think - I hope the birth is lovely and successful. I'm trying not to go out via those doors too much, because when I do, the bird gets nervous and flies away.

My mother had a robin nest on her front porch once. She taped off the entrance and put up a sign that said "Maternity Ward"

Happy Solstice to everyone. I'm invited to a party tonight to celebrate. It's a group that isn't really into pagan things, just want a reason to celebrate. We are having a bon fire, though. It's totally weather dependent and it's been raining off and on, so we'll see.

Well we had the meeting today. It's good. I'm no longer the supervisor, but get to keep the big corner office (which is the only perk you get as supervisor). So, now I get to come to work and just worry about my clients. YEAH!!!! I am very pleased with this development

JMK - Re GYPSY: Gypsy Rose Lee may not have had any problems with how her family was represented, but for a long while, June Havoc certainly had problems with the fictionalization of her own life story in that piece, and even tried to stop the use of her name in the piece and was reportedly essentially strong-armed into letting them use her name and such. And Rose Hovick couldn't defend herself against any claims the show made about her motivations. It's not only the title characters whose lives are being distorted.

Re: kaysar and janelle on big brother.

I was hoping that janelle would be on. But truthfully i was not sure which former contestants would even want to do the show again.

There have been a lot of rumors about who the 20 possibles are. Apparently Mike "boogie" has a website. So he is definitely one. And they are saying Marcellas is probably one too. I think Dr.Will would be cool.

I just don't know if i could stand watching some of them again (like jun and allison who are also possibles).

I wonder how many times we can vote. And is it internet only? And will it be worth to vote for the most popular ones like kaysar?

I am curious if those who were friends will automatically align. I'm guessing that people like kaysar and janelle would for sure.

Police report rash of thefts from cars
06/21/2006 10:56:45 AM

Sioux City police are warning auto owners to close and lock their vehicles after a rash of recent thefts.

In two days last week, 10 purses were stolen from vehicles in parking lots in the city, many while the owners were out walking.

Police remind residents not to leave purses, wallets or other valuables in their cars.

If a purse or wallet is stolen, contact your band and credit card companies as soon as possible. (emphasis added)

Wow! If my purse gets stolen I think I have my band sing me the blues!

I was just reminded of my favorite MOW of all time- Dance 'til Dawn which came out in the late 80's and starred every sitcom star ever including: Alyssa Milano, Tracey Gold, Christina Applegate, Matthew Perry, Brian Bloom, Cliff DeYoung, Mary Frann, Alan Thicke, Kelsey Grammer, Edie McClurg, and many others.

It was a prom night comedy, and my sister and I taped it off of the tv and watched it constantly.

I understand completely and actually agree with you, but, based upon your own criterion (a great work of art), "Gypsy" can be forgiven a multitude of fictionalizing sins, whereas "Frances" (a sloppy Grand Guignol mishmosh at best) can't. I think the fact that "Gypsy" was a musical and by that very fact taken as more of an "entertainment" (if you catch my drift) than the supposedly "factual" "Frances" also plays into my disparate reactions to these two purported biographies.

Of course THE GLASS HOUSE starred Alan Alda and DR CP's former neighbor, Kristofer Tabori.

Maybe it was Sioux City cross dresser trying to match a pair of shoes from the Goodwill store.
