For DR TCB,

If you have a kindle keyboard:

This is what i do.

Turn wireless on.

Hit menu and choose "experimental".

Hit "launch browser".

I bookmarked my gmail and my goodreads. So by clicking on bookmarks i can go to any of those sites Twitter too. I can't do facebook. For some reason it doesn't want to load properly.

Looks like Best Supporting Actor is going to be the biggest contest (IMHO, anyway).  I know current sentiment is probably for Christopher Plummer, but I have a hunch Nick Nolte is going to win.

No Oscar nomination for Albert Brooks.

That's a bit of a surprise.
It is.

TOD:  I've always thought I like to take one of those riverboat cruises up or down the Mississippi in autumn.  Lazing on a boat and watching the world go by as the leaves turn, preferably with good friends, a few good books, quality food, and libations, sounds ideal.

And my sentimental choice would be Max von Sydow for giving a silent performance (in a year of praising silents) and for career achievement. True, he didn't sing over the Alps with small children ... But maybe that's in his favor.

TOD:

(Doable things):
I've never been across the Golden Gate Bridge.

I've never gotten a passport (despite having been around the world a couple of times and having lived in Europe for 9-plus years).

(Not doable things):

Pondering this one....

He also didn't marry Holly, Hannah's sister, when she wanted him to, and lost her to some professor.  Thank goodness Elliott stayed with Hannah!

Michael S, thanks for the notes on Mark Kudish. I've always liked his voice, but stories on him seem to leave a few too many questions. Too much ego? Too little him outside his roles? I guess I'd rather see him in a role like "The Glorious Ones" instead of an evening of him performing.

Clean clothes can certainly assist romance.

It's really interesting to see those left off the Oscar noms after having waded through the slew of "For Your Consideration" ads littering Variety for the past few months (yes, months).

In other news, I have become quite fond of the little trance tune "To Ulrike M" by the wonderfully named Swedish band The Doris Days.

I find the best doc category ridiculous. Again, Werner Herzog made two of the best documentaries of the year and both were left off the list of those considered.

LOL!

Richard has been going to the laundromat about once a week since our washer conked out on Dec. 12.  We decided to wait until the January sales to deal with it.  And, to be honest, we've often made a household purchase for our anniversary since it comes on the heels of both birthdays and Christmas.

I wonder if we'll get the little homages delivered to each of the Best Actor and Actress nominees this year.  I can hear it now:

"Jean Dujardin, just who the f*** are you, anyway?"  ;)

DR Michael S - Thanks for the Marc Kudisch report. I was born in 1968, and had a lot of 45s, so... However, I'm guessing he was listening to his parents' 78s.

On a related note, I just read the review for Michael Cerveris' "American Songbook" evening at Lincoln Center. He apparently sang Barber's "Knoxville: Summer of 1915". Hmmm...

Oscar Nominations:

http://www.moviemuser.co.uk/News/8260/2012-Oscar-Nominations-Announced.aspx


I was going to link the Academy Award official site - but there are too many commercials and some terrible MUSIC that plays all the time you are on the page.


Only 2 songs nominated for best original song? Why didn't they just eliminate the category this year?

78s were quite possible/probable in the late 60s-early 70s.  "Hi-Fi" units, both mono and stereo, were routinely outfitted with three speeds...45, 33 1/3 and 78 rpm.   The trouble with playing 78s is that the grooves were generally larger than diamond-tipped styli could handle (and with the end of monaural recordings in the late 60s, most LPs being manufactured required the diamond-tipped stylus).   Fortunately, hi-fis were also fitted with switchable stylus levers and you could buy a stylus with diamond tip on one side and "whatever" (steel, nickel?) on the other for 78s.   I also had 78s in my collection of music...stuff I couldnt' find on 33 1/3, for instance.   I was a teenager when Kudisch and Simbulan were born, so I know it was "likely".  You could get some great deals on 78s (which were no longer being manufactured) in drug stores, five-and-ten stores, book shops, etc.
