So...BK, are you going out to the Book Fair at the Airport today or tomorrow. If so, give my regards to our mutual pal, Mr. Nigel Williams.

And I fully agree that Plushenko blew everyone else away last night with his jumping, and since so much of the point totals are given for content, well, there was no one who matched him there. It was the presentation score that I thought was severely padded.

Still, he put together two excellent technical programs with well executed content no one could match, and that's what it takes to win the gold now.

Old timers like me remember when one could rack up a huge lead in school figures and not even have to do double jumps in the free skate to win. Trixie Shuba, the 1972 Olympic champion, did it with ease. No one even came close to catching her though she was outskated in the free skate by all four of the skaters who scored beneath her in total points.

I also finished disc 5 of the CSI set. This included the episode set in Los Angeles as Brass goes looking for his now-prostitute daughter.

I thought of the LA denizens when one scene took place at Musso & Franks.

I'll be at the book fair tomorrow and will indeed say hey to Nigel.

I found out today that my 3 1/2 year old grandneice's favorite TV program is DANCING WITH THE STARS! I thought that was wonderful and now I think it might be the right time for Uncle Mike to introduce Taylor to movie musicals!

I am thinking some Shirley Temple or Judy Garland films.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #125 on:** February 17, 2006, 01:52:43 PM »

I think Dancing with The Stars is aimed at an audience of your grandniece's age. But then so is so much Television!

LOL

And now for my first Bollywood movie of the long weekend (I am hoping to get at least 2 or 3 out of the way this weekend!)...

GOMTI KE KINARE (1972) starring some of my favorite Indian actress...Mumtaz, Helen, and and the lovely Meena Kumari in one of her last movie roles before she passed away.

I think this is one of those women's pictures.

I popped THE STING in the player for a few minutes right at the end of the afternoon, but I'll skip through it to sections I really like. I'd like to see M. HULOT'S HOLIDAY tonight. It's only 87 minutes long, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Matt H. · « **Reply #129 on:** February 17, 2006, 02:05:50 PM »

IN JUSTICE also has a new episode on tonight.

DR DakotaCelt - what did you see at the Salt lake Olympics? I am very jealous, I've always wanted to go to a Winter Games

It was a pre-Olympic gathering for members of the Curling team... Relatives of two of the team members arranged for us to watch on large screen tellys the broadcasts. We watched Figure skating and curling... I rather like the sport of curling.

DR Jennifer, curling is surprisingly popular in these parts...

Darn! Now I want to listen to WSS and all I have handy is the Japanese recording. Oh, well--that will do.

Last night, I got a notice from the post office that a package has arrived for me and needs to be signed for and picked up. It's from Footlight! I ordered the Prague cast recording of Les Misérables[/b][/u] back in September and it's finally here!!

I took my car in to get the 93,000 and 96,000 mile services and they're coming to pick me up now. When I get my car, I'm going to the post office to get my package!!

Also in my CD player: two CDs that I just got yesterday, the original soundtrack to "Meet Me in St. Louis" and the original cast recording of A Family Affair. But before those will be the CDs that I received from DakotaCelt and some songs by The Manhattan Transfer from an Internet buddy from Utah.

In my VCR: a tape to tape tonight's shows. I'm ushering for a solo acoustic guitar concert here in Olympia by Leo Kottke. Last night, I watched "Battlestar Galactica," but didn't get to either "Lost" or "Invasion." I pretty much have the three-day weekend free, so they will be watched very soonly.

In my DVD player: "Groundhog Day" (still), through kind courtesy of DR Matt H! After that will be some movies from Netflix and one that I rented at a local video store, "The Machinist."

Got to hurry down now and finish the cleaning chore for the day. Then, it's on to TV for the evening!

LOL I was just about to say the same thing. My mother never misses it!

Jed · « **Reply #134 on:** February 17, 2006, 02:26:51 PM »

I'm not ashamed to admit... I'm watching curling right now and, by God, I'm enjoying it!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #135 on:** February 17, 2006, 02:40:50 PM »

No offence to anyone intended. DwtS (the Oz version) rates very well here too.. My Mother would have enjoyed it.

No offense taken here, I watch it too, for that matter

Well, I've almost made it through the entire day, hoo and ray...I'm about to head home for left over roast beef and rice with steamed veges and a big glass of milk.

I'm trying to decide if I want to see a local performance of CLOSER tonight. It's in a funky new performance space with no advance ticket sales. I'm anxious to see it as two friends are in it, but it's so cold out I think it may have to wait until tomorrow...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #138 on:** February 17, 2006, 02:53:36 PM »

Good Afternoon!

Hmm... "The Color Purple" is on HBO. Guess my evening's TV viewing has begun.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #139 on:** February 17, 2006, 02:59:54 PM »

DR Ginny - I rather like "As I Am". I used to play in a CCM band when I was in college, and there's still something appealing about pop music with a "message". My favorite track has to be her tribute to Sandy Patti, complete with all the Sandy Patti modulations and high notes.

I also remember hearing Kristin during the Metropolitan Opera Council rounds, and the sound of her voice on this record sounds very close to her sound back then. The 'cutesy' edge - which can sometimes get on my nerves - is not there.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #140 on:** February 17, 2006, 03:01:19 PM »

Well... Time to start some Italian Sausage with Peppers, Mushroom and Onions...

Laters...

We're almost through here - we would have had another hour, but with my editor's mistake, we can't do that work. So, I may get back home earlier than planned, which will give me an hour to relax.

the DP just took me to pick out my b-day present. I'm now a proud owner of a Ukelele. I'm too too excited!!!

Sorry for expressing my insignificant opinion, but I just wish Kristin would have learnt to sing not SO MUCH through her nose! Her voice would gain in "grandeur" because she's NOT Barbara Cook at all! Not that she has to be either!(I'm referring to "her" Glitter And Be Gay!)

I like her voice except for those dreadful nasal sounds!

Or.... George Formby?!!

I have never paid attention to ratings except when I had to fight with the ratings board over the Nudie Musical rating (they wanted to give it an X, but we got the R finally).

BK, did you have to make changes/cuts in the movie or did you just argue your case?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #146 on:** February 17, 2006, 04:11:30 PM »

George Formby played his own special, what he called, "banjo-lele"

I think that my AOL service has finally gone over the edge. Their headline news story on my AOL main screen is a story telling me that Coretta Scott King has died..... apparently again.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #148 on:** February 17, 2006, 04:13:32 PM »

Or maybe Matthew wants to be the next Earl Scruggs
