Has there been any discussion of Brooks' latest since George saw it a couple of months back?

Thanks to DRs Tomovoz, der Brucer, Jeanne, and JMK for your interesting discussion today about IQ, job aptitude, and motivation in the workplace.

And thanks to all the DRs for your insights on Sweeney Todd.

What a swell place is HHW!

As far as Disney goes, Disney doesn't know how to do Disney. Disney had quality (even in later years when it was a somewhat cheezy quality at times). Now it's just as bad as everything else.

As far as raindrops actually falling on your head, I love when songs or cliches actually happen-- I have actually slipped on a banana peel once. I loved the absurdity and opportunity of it.

Let's all slip on a banana peel, watch a pot of water come to a boil and enjoy the gusto that is life!

It sure it & I will miss it over the holiday. Our festivities begin with Bryan's birthday on the 23rd. Tomorrow is such a jam packed day of appointments and important things to do, such as give Sherlock a bath, I'm not sure I'll get a chance to drop in. If not.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY, IF YOU CELEBRATE OR NOT!

Driving down my street tonight, I was a bit shocked to realize that MANY MANY homes do not have trees in the living room window. Back in the day, and not that far back - a tree would be lit in every picture window on every street.

Now only about one house in 4 has a tree that can be seen from the street....and only about 1 in every block and a half has outdoor lights or decoration.

Given the reports of low attendance at the matinees, and given that I can get into any theater free right now via DGA card, I was a bit surprised to see it's not playing in any theaters I'd want to go to - if it were at the main Chinese, or the Village in Westwood or a grand single screen, I might go, but it's only playing in multiplexes and not great ones. It's at the Arclight in Hollywood, but my fear is we'll get digital projection and I want to see FILM - so it's wait a week to see a superb presentation at the DGA.

There's the one at the Howard Hughes center...
which is probably not where you'd want to see it, but if you need a buddy to share the pain, I'm nearby.

Once I ran off a couple steps & caught air for about a second before landing on my face. This was not on purpose. It was awful & funny at the same time.

I did not find it amusing when I slipped on a banana peel and messed up my knee 46 years ago. People do laugh when I tell them how I hurt my knee.

I am sorry for the injury you incurred, but it makes a great story. I actualy slipped on a banna peel on the Champs D'elysee. I always thought that would be great title of a book or a song. Especiallly a song because it scans well.

My location wasn't as exciting. It was at Palms Jr. High while running to gym class. Maybe if I had sat out class that day my knee wouldn't still hurt at times.

Re: JMK's difficult travel decision...
I loved Victoria, BC. Lovely city. I'd love to go again. Since I don't have kids, I really don't think about that while traveling. I really enjoyed New Orleans, too, but it was in May and was already hot and humid, plus there was a garbage strike and man, the stench!
I still grieve for all that was lost during Katrina.

Good Evening!

You wanna talk about excitement? Well, so far tonight, I've been watching TV with my Dad. He was flipping between "Don't Forget The Lyrics" and "The Singing Bee". Well, at least until my Mom - who's been working on Christmas cards in the kitchen - spoke up when she realized that "Don't Forget the Lyrics" was a repeat, then we just watched "The Singing Bee".

Then to make things even more exciting, my Mom realized she needed a gift for one of the daughters of a friend of theirs, and since I just couldn't take all the "excitement" here, I volunteered to head out to the nearby Target to get the gift card. Oh, and since my Mom also wanted some crossword puzzle books, the nearby Barnes & Noble was also put on my shopping itinerary. Needless to say, I ended up buying a few things for myself at both stores.

*I was actually a little worried when I pulled into the parking lot of both stores since both parking lots were pretty full. I was all set for some Christmas Shopping Madness inside the stores. However, both B&N and Target were very calm inside with lots of registers open, but no long lines.

OH! Victoria, B.C. is a good choice too. If you can time your trip to coincide with the music festival there... They have both a Jazz and Classical Chamber Music Festival. It's a beautiful area, and it's surprisingly "tropical" there too - I believe it's called the "Banana Belt" of Canada. Amazing scenery and greenery, and the ferry rides are fun too.

I just read the NY Times review of ST. My, did the reviewer and I watch the same film? It gave him nightmares? "Unremitting savagery"? I don't watch horror films, I shy away from violence. Yes, this has violence, but I've seen other films that are far worse. There's a certain quality about it, a certain whimsy, that lightens it up. Perhaps another DR can be far more articulate than I regarding this aspect. Larry? Jose?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #298 on:** December 21, 2007, 07:44:35 PM »

Oohh.. I was just checking the line-up for next Summer's Victoria Jazz Festival, and noticed that Holly Cole will be performing. Love her! -Oh, and she'll be performing at Joe's Pub in January... Yeah!

I've spent a lovely evening with our DR Ben and the effervescent Anthony. They are wonderful hosts and the apartment, as always in this season, was a trove of holiday cheer and beauty. Their tree is truly beautiful and there's a new Tigger, as I recall, under it. The Yule Log was burning bright via DVD and the Christmas music was played on toy instruments. They provided excellent company, tasty treats, a wonderful hot chocolate, and a special gift. I brought gossip, criticism and tasteful and thoughtful suggestions on how they should run their lives. I had a wonderful time!
