"I'm Pasta My Prime" was from THE FIRST NOODLE MUSICAL, wasn't it?

Greta Carbo was in that as well, I believe.

DRs -- My Lord ! It is a veritable plethora of punage and punitude around BK's living room here this evening! I shall not be able to order Lo Mein again.

However, I could really show you "....how does the piggy eat, Randy?...." if you put a plate of Gengis Cohan Crackerjack Shrimp in front of me !

Had a great dinner out with friends at an Italian restaurant I ahd never been to. Lots of food and fun.

DR Ann, that on-line dress is beautiful! You will be such a gorgeous bride!

MusicGuy · « **Reply #189 on:** August 12, 2006, 09:36:37 PM »

And even though it isn't really that late, I'm starting to feel the sand shift in my hour glass! I think I must go fluff up the arms of Morpheus and hie myself to our sleeping chamber.

Good night Esteemed and idea-laden BK !

Good night Lucy.

Once everyione else got carted off to the theater, I came back home and watched QUALITY STREET. I can see why Katharine Hepburn was labeled box-office poison on the basis of THAT picture (not BRINGING UP BABY OR HOLIDAY which she made the next year).

What a genteel slight comedy of manners set in 1805 London (written by James Barrie) where Hepburn plays a 30 year old spinster (!) and masquerades as her decade younger cousin who captures the fancy of all the eligible young bachelors.

In its favor was a running time of 84 minutes. However, when you're finding irritation rather than enjoyment in what was happening, even 84 minutes seems like an eternity. I did like Franchot Tone in this, but I saw no difference in Hepburn playing 30 and Hepburn playing 20. Seemed like the exact same person in manner, voice, everything. Yet everyone else seemed totally fooled by her deception.

BTW, has anyone tried the new coffee Coca Cola. I tried it and was jittery for hours.

This sounds disgusting!

FJL · « **Reply #192 on:** August 12, 2006, 09:37:34 PM »

Wow, Ann, that IS a beautiful dress, too. I'm torn, but you'll look great in any of the dresses.

Next, I had recorded a thirty minute tribute to Alfred Hitchcock off the Encores Mystery Channel called HITCHCOCKED! It was a bunch of current directors singing his praises and mentioning specific things about the films that they liked illustrated with many film clips. However, the comments didn't touch on any of the Warner-controlled films and though NORTH BY NORTHWEST was mentioned a time or two, obviously no clips from it were used. I guess Encores has rights only to those films controlled by Universal.

Elegant indeed DR Ann.

Matt H. · « **Reply #196 on:** August 12, 2006, 09:41:09 PM »

Next I continued with TOM THUMB which I had started today. Only got about halfway through before my company arrived.

Matt H. · « **Reply #197 on:** August 12, 2006, 09:42:12 PM »

As we had dessert, cordials, and coffee, we put in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME and watched highlights from it. Didn't watch the whole thing, but ended up watching about an hour or so from it.

And now it's way past my bedtime, so I'm heading that way. It is 66 degrees outside now; I should sleep very well without the need for central A/C or the ceiling fan tonight.

Good night!

This afternoon, I watched three taped episodes of "Kyle XY." I still have one more episode, then I'm all caught up. THEN, I have four episodes of "Psych" to (eventually) watch. That's a lot of TV watching when I'm supposed to be packing boxes.

George · « **Reply #203 on:** August 12, 2006, 09:59:01 PM »

I'll do some more packing after this last episode of "Kyle XY." I got probably a dozen boxes packed and moved into the storage unit earlier today. In one of my extra bedrooms, I just have enough stuff to put into one box and then it's totally emptied. The other extra bedroom has all of my sheet music/vocal selections/vocal scores and just several boxes of books and videos.

George · « **Reply #204 on:** August 12, 2006, 09:59:18 PM »

My sister said that I could leave my records until I actually move. That's good. I don't want to put those in storage. Even though that's probably not the best condition for my videos and soon to be packed DVDs, I shouldn't need to keep them there for very long...just a couple of months, or so. Also, the unit that I have is on the north side of the building, so it doesn't get any direct sunlight. That'll keep it from getting too hot.

George · « **Reply #205 on:** August 12, 2006, 09:59:36 PM »

And now, "Kyle XY."

PennyO · « **Reply #206 on:** August 12, 2006, 10:49:17 PM »

Ann - what a beautiful dress! i also like the 2nd one you posted, the Headless Bride Pic - you look wonderful in it. The slightly off-the-shoulder "boat neck" in the online bridal store picture will be spectacular on you, I think - you got great shoulders, kiddo!

Well, i went down to Redmond late this afternoon, to the Hellenic Festival at marymoor park - heard some friends' bands and danced a few coceks (pronounced cho-check) and sirtos, some other balkan stuff. It's the coceks that take it outa me these days!

Now I'm waiting for the raccoons. I got them more cat food. And for dessert, RAISINS! come and get it, boys!

PennyO · « **Reply #207 on:** August 12, 2006, 10:49:53 PM »

Well, I see I'm alone here... good night, Little Pen!

Back from a lovelier than lovely evening with some of my dearest friends. More in a bit.

George · « **Reply #209 on:** August 12, 2006, 11:19:48 PM »

I didn't watch the last episode of "Kyle XY" that I have to watch. I got distracted with the Game Boy game, "Wario Land." It, like any computer/video game, can be fun and very frustrating, at the same time.
