Haines His Way

I forgot:
  SEVEN SAMURAI
  RASHOMON
  What's that Japanese ghost story collection from the 1960s?
 
I'm gettin' old!  Still hate LA STRADA.

The Japanese anthology was KWAIDON!  What's run away with my mind?

Something with a taste for cheap porn?

I had a most rude customer yesterday.  

Part of my job is to bag people's groceries, which I am quite speedy at doing.  The customer in question stood there, watching me bag, and started to get quite agetated.  Suddenly, he reached over and grabbed items out of my hands, rearranging them in the bags as I was putting them in, cursing about how I wasn't doing my job right, how I wasn't bagging them correctly because I wasn't bagging the items in the order that he would be putting them on the shelves when he got home!

His lover just stood there, rolling his eyes.  I refrained from asking if my bagging competitor had taken his meds recently.

I don't get many rude customers, but when I do they are doozies.

I'm sorry but this made me laugh.

Jose when I mentioned the Stinking Rose I thought you might have eaten at the LA one, which we have never been to so I can’t compare them.   So glad your back is better.

DakotaCelt about the only thing I miss about living on the East Coast and in Michigan are the Cardinals.  I still remember the first time I saw one.  Beautiful photos, thank you.

MBarnum congratulations on the FILMAX article and the check.

Where is DRJANE today?

I had to go to Medford (the town DRMBarnum hails from) and see the dermatologist.  He said the spot where he removed the skin cancer is healing fine.  What he couldn't tell me is when it would look decent enough I can wear my hair pulled back.  Of course he said I must wear a hat if I do that.

I then did a ton of errands in Medford (I really don't enjoy going there) before returning home.  I purchased some new dishes and silverware and treated myself to some See's candy.  

I like the new silverware very much, just one problem, the fork is longer than our current forks are and I kept poking the back of my throat with it.  I must learn to eat more lady-like and not like white trash.

DRJane, they are pretty birds. They are really rare for Eastern ND and when we see one here it is a treat,

I'm through screening - I had to split up the five episodes over a six-hour period, otherwise I would have had a severe sugar overdose.

I can understand that. In order to keep my neice entertained I had to sit through 8 hours of Blue's Clues and Barney......

By the end of the 8 hours I was contemplating very nasty thoughts of how to get rid of the purple dinosaur!

FJL-I put THE MAD ADVENTURES OF RABBI JACOB on my NetFlix queue.  

Bruce-LOL

Dakota I already saved the article for Keith.

Goodness it is late and I haven’t washed the dinner dishes yet.  

‘night.

This is something I haven't seen before:  we are having an ice storm with lightning and thunder.  This is end of days weather, this is.

Netflix sent me BONJOUR TRISTESSE (1958) today...JRand55 has recommended this movie to me for well over a year...and why has it taken me so long to finally get around to seeing it...what a good movie! Mylene Demongeot totally steals the show! Geoffrey Horne is not much of an actor, but he is a looker! And the clothes...wow! I hope the costume designer won some awards for this one!

Since the AMERICAN IDOL auditions dealt with the Greensboro, NC auditions tonight, I did watch the entire two hours. Mostly a waste of time but there were a few interesting human interest stories to go along with the few decent performances.

But after watching two hours of it tonight, I'll be skipping tomorrow night completely. They are the San Francisco auditions.

But that means I had to let the DVR get an hour of SCRUBS, THE CLOSER, and LOVE MONKEY tonight as I watched other things.

Should have time to get to them all tomorrow.

Good eve, all.

What a day this has been, let me tell ya... Actually, I won't tell ya cause I'm not sure that I could rehash it all one more time today. "It" is something that I've been dealing with for a very long time - nearly 20 years - and "it" is all finally coming to a head now and will very likely change the dynamics of my family and my life. No, this has nothing to do with coming out and I'm not dying. I'm neither an alcoholic nor a junkie. "It" is of a personal nature and, while I won't divulge details here on the board, I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm going through some stuff right now and may not be around much over the next few days and/or weeks. I was so upset by "it" today that I went into the "ugly cry" at work and had to leave the office at noon. It wasn't pretty.  

HHW is like a family to me, and you have all been very supportive and caring and encouraging in the past for much less significant problems. In a rare move for me, I'm asking now for your support and encouragement and prayers to help me wade through my stuff and come out on the other side a better, happier person. You are all very special to me in your own ways and I feel secure in the fact that I will have dozens of friends around the world to see me through.

Here's to new beginnings and hopeful, happier futures!

We had one of those last fall... Even stranger when we get Thunder Snow
