Well, you've read the notes, you now have the important information that it is May, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they May, or they May not.
-
And the word of the day is: FESTER!
-
I really hate when I put off writing a paper until the night before it's due. I hate it, I tell you.
And I don't even understand what it's about.
-
Well, it's about 12:40 a.m. and I'm not at the house where I'm supposed to be house-and-cat-sitting!! I must be off! Good night, all!
-
Desserts?? Too many to think about now. ;D
-
Here is a wonderful way to greet May:

I just wrote a sentence with 97 words in it.
-
I have a similar sentence in the new play - I like that sort of thing.
-
I'm really tired and yet here I sit staring at my laptop screen like so much fish.
-
I think I shall feel lusty today.
-
I think I have lust written all over me. I shall lustify anyone who comes near me.
-
It is the Lusty Month of May. ;)
-
Perhaps I'll do the Lambada (The Forbidden Dance) whilst sucking on a hard candy. That will be lusty.
-
Okay...NOW I must leave. Good night. 8)
-
Nice review!
-
Good night to you and your Uncle Fester!
-
I'm up.
-
I hate to say it, but it sucks getting "older."
-
I was being industrious this evening and was on the floor sorting some things prior to packing them away for storage.
And what do you think happened?
I leaned forward and pinched a nerve...or pulled a muscle...or something.
And it hurt like hell.
And it's now giving me grief.
-
The pinch/pull is in my left side...just above the hip in my lower back.
Drat!
I know it will get better.
I just won't get better TONIGHT/THIS MORNING.
-
And I've been to bed...and found a couple of comfy positions...that remain comfy for about 15 minutes. And then I get up and go drink some water 'cause for some reason I'm thirsty.
-
So...I do what all good Hainsies/Kimlets do...I come here and pour out my troubles and ills.
And it makes me feel better.
What I don't want is a bunch of sympathy or "aw, gees..." I'm not doing it for that.
I just enjoy expressing myself while it's bothering me.
And it makes it feel all better.
-
Only one more page to go.
I'm tired.
Thank goodness for Cherry Coke, is all I can say.
I'm still not sure what this paper is about.
-
I'm finished! Yay!
Good night.
-
It's amazing how wide awake one can be when sleeping isn't comfortable.
I've used a heat pad for about 30 minutes. It was restful but I didn't fall asleep. And now I'm wide awake again.
I can walk...I just can't stand straight up...almost...but not quite...and it's most disconcerting/discomfiting.
-
I, for one, am looking forward to obtaining a DVD copy of "Deceit".
-
So sad to be all alone on the forum.

Where's Gilbert O'Sullivan when you TRULY need him?

A late good morning, all! I woke at 6:30 with the alarm and decided I had no reason to move for a while, and now it's nearly two hours later. Oy!
I haven't decided what to do today. I'm thinking I may continue my housecleaning, and sort through more piles of books and other junk.
DR RonPulliam, I hope the pain goes away soon. When I had the really awful nerve problem in my leg before surgery in 2004, the emergency room gave me some muscle relaxant that was quite amazing. I may have been on Vicodin as well; it's all a blur now. I hope you're calling your doctor this morning.

TOD:
I'll have to think a bit about my best and favorite dessert, but I will say that the only dessert I had all weekend was a couple of Klondike bars. I bought a box at Shop-Rite--twelve to a box, on sale for $1.99. They are smallish, but dayam, they are good! The perfect chocolate coating on a nice fluffy slab of vanilla ice cream. Yum!
-
Pian-free vibes to Ron!
-
Pain-free vibes, too!!
-
I'd have to say my favorite dessert is the Fried tempura Ice Cream at Planet Sushi, where they actually flame the ice cream right there at your table. They always ask me if I'm going to share it with someone else at the table, and they bring extra spoons - and I especially like it when no one else want any. :)
On a less gourmet note, there's the exquisite bread pudding chunks (emphasis on chunk) or the Apple ChimiCheesecake at Applebee's. The bread pudding is like having the most delicious french toast as a dessert, and even I can't eat it alone. The ChimiCheesecake is a chimichanga stuffed with apples and ricotta cheese (so with those ingredients, it must be healthy).
-
Everyone should be pian free!
-
Well....German Chocolate Cake, as mentioned last week.
BUT for me, nothing beats a simple bowl of vanilla ice cream....with sliced bananas and whipped cream and chopped walnuts....
-
I got a couple of hours' sleep!
Want more.
Trying to decide whether to dress and go in to work or give it a day of rest at home and see how I feel domani.
-
Yes Mr Rock Stevens was featured prominently on the covers of Miss Annette's MUSCLE BEACH PARTY album.
-
I'm beginning to think I'm alone in thinking BACK TO THE BEACH, starring the venerable Avalon, Funicello and Stevens, is actually a well-made movie. Others seem to see it as a camp hoot.
My favorite exchange (I am paraphrasing, though):
Connie: Frankie is the type of guy you'd never be able to catch without a net
Frankie: Connie, you know Annette, don't you?
-
But then I think LOVER COME BACK is one of the great comedy screenplays of all time.
-
Well, FJL, one of my co-workers thinks that BACK TO THE BEACH is one of the all time best comedies! She loves it.
-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back vibes to DR Ron. I hope you feel better soon.
-
DR FJL - I agree on both counts. Although LOVER COME BACK doesn't have the sass of PILLOW TALK and is a bit more....well crass...it is certainly clever! And funny!
-
Everything I have I owe to VIP!
-
And of course in BACK TO BEACH, Miss Annette spends a lot of time making Skippy Peanut Butter sandwiches for everybody. AND at one point in the screen play she spends a few moments reviewing the plot and stating what terrible problems they are having.....and decides the only way to solve it is: "Let's go shopping!"
-
Whew! I just caught up!
Thank you all for the NYSMMA Congrats and the Birthday wishes for the Vicxter. I will let her see them tonight. I had to get up at 5 AM to drive my guests http://www.thebards.net/ back to the JFK airport and then since my office is near the airport I headed in here and got here around 7 AM. I now want a nap.

Congratulations to TPUNK on graduating!! I am sure that "your kids" will miss you but Iam also sure that you will be quickly snatched up by some discerning employer and soon be helping a whole new passel of kids!

Good morning!
Beautiful day here. It was supposed to be overcast, and the morning started out that way, but as I've sat here surfing the net, the clouds have moved off and it's blue sky and breezy. Wonderful way to start a new month!
-
Here's hoping the back pain eases for DR Ron Pulliam. I have had the same thing happen to me doing normal things like bending down to put on tennis shoes or bending down to turn the taps off in the shower.
It usually takes a week to 10 days for my back to get back to anything like normal. I just had one of these "pulls" a month or two ago.
-
The street cleaning machine is doing its thing....
I finished watching PHANTOM OF THE RUE MORGUE....one of the WB followups to the highly successful HOUSE OF WAX...
I wonder which of the following was the MOST astonishing in 3-D:
a. Gorilla coming at ya!
b. Patricia Medina's bosom
c. rifle fire at the camera
d. Karl Malden's nose
-
During the early hours of the morning while I was finishing up my net surfing and then this morning, I've gotten a great desire to watch THE WONDRFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM. I recorded the movie off TCM a couple of years ago, but I have no idea how it will look on the larger screen TV.
(I saw the laserdisc for it up for auction last night on Ebay which is what got me to thinking about it. I remember reviews said the laserdisc was pale and soft and not very appealing. I remember thinking the Turner broadcast looked OK, so I'll be anxious to see what it looks like this afternoon.)

I have that first DVD issue of THE DIRTY DOZEN. It's not anamorphic, is it? And seems like it was a very dirty print. But I've only watched it once since I bought it. Might put it back in this week to see if I want to double dip on it.
-
I finally got around to ordering GAY PURR-EE last night. I've had the videotape for a long time, but I never bought it on any other video platform, so I thought it was time for an upgrade. Looking forward to seeing it again in a good quality presentation.
-
I think I've mentioned it here before, but my favorite dessert of all time was my mother's cocoanut cake. Absolutely the most mouth-watering confection I've ever tasted, and, alas, she took that recipe to the grave with her.

Empire State Building opened 75 years ago today!
Hurray for King Kong!
-
Vixmom -- did you make The Vixter a Birthday Cake????
I did not. Due to the ongoing problems with the slowly dying "cooker' (as Vixdad calls it) I dared not entrust such an important thing as a birthday cake to the fickle oven (it is being replaced this coming Saturday) I did however order her a lovely round yellow cake with white buttercream icing and blue roses encircling the words "Happy13th Birthday Vicky". the filling was also buttercream. The cake was chosen by the birthday girl herself. Pictures were taken but they have not yet been downloaded and in any event I am at the wrong computer (work vs home).
It was a lovely cake made by the bakery at our local Waldbaum's grocery store and admired by all and delicious to boot!!

It usually takes a week to 10 days for my back to get back to anything like normal. I just had one of these "pulls" a month or two ago.
But I don't have a week to 10 days to get better...I have to get better by tomorrow (that's "domani" for Vixmom).
Of course, barring that...a visit to my doctor for some pills won't be objectionable. But I'll see what I feel like on the morrow (that's also "domani" for Vixmom).

What a swell review for Last Starfighter! Congrats to our boys!
Desserts, huh? I'm partial to ice cream... but I usually buy the Safeway Cherry Chocolate Chip Non-Fat Frozen Yogurt... I do favor quantity over quality, so a half-gallon of this stuff is a nice way to spend an evening.
There is a sensational Tiramisu (I have become quite the tiramisu maven, just by-the-way) at the Italian restaurant on the corner of Dairy Road and Hana Hwy, Kahalui, Maui - the very best I ever had. It costs $9. It's worth it. I have learned to order that, first. After dessert, if I'm still hungry, I might order an appetizer or a sandwich.
I love those little frozen Sara Lee frozen chocolate covered cheesecake bites. Only at other people's houses... can't bring a box home - hell, they never even MAKE IT home...
A Dairy Queen cone - just vanilla - brightens up a day of misery quite a bit...

So it's officially BELTANE! That is the fertility/spring festival halfway between the Spring equinox and summer solstice. I think it's Celtic. That's the one where people jump over a bonfire and ring-around-the-maypole. I feel migratory - on Wednesday I'll mosey up to Washington, to the cabin. Gonna take my sweet time - 3 days instead of the usual 2. I will definitely stop by at Jane and Keith's to look at the new kitchen and all the remodeling.
So tonight, I'm going to be one of the very first to hear the New Play from the pen of our BK! I do look forward to it.

DR Vixmom - how do you like being the mother of an official teenager?
Vixdad told her that since we weren't old enough to be the parents of a teenager we had decided that this year she would be "12A" and we would put off 12 for another year!
Yesterday she said, "I still feel 12!'
We explained that was becasue she was still 12, since this was year 12A :D

The strange thing about that LOST contest, DR Jen, is that there's no mention of it at ABC.com. And does the U.K. really get to see episodes a day ahead of the U.S.? I donno...

A lovely cake report, DR Vixmom. Bakery cakes are delicious.
I have not made DR Sandra a birthday cake in years. She prefers cheesecake, so we often go to the Cheesecake Factory for her birthday celebration.

There must be mention of it at abc.com, I've seen it written up other places too!

Good morning/afternoon. Won't be around (or even a square) today, have to concentrate on work. JR was asking for a report about the musical last night.... I enjoyed the performances. Sara Rue and French Stewart very really wonderful. The show was not my cuppa tea.

Interesting thing about dessert at my folks' yesterday. There was a fruit-topped tart and a chocolate mousse cake, but everyone went for the fruit tart rather than the chocolate. Highly unusual. And for the main courses, most of us went for the tuna over the quiches and pasta (and even the cream cheese and lox was just sitting there like so much fish).

ANIMAL LOVERS ALERT!
COCOA MULCH
Sent to us by Meagan Karnes, of Fur Crazy Pet Care.
Yesterday, one of our clients experienced a tragedy and wanted me to pass a special message along to all of my dog loving friends and family.
I was hoping you could forward this to your contact list.
My client was the doting owner of two young lab/golden retriever mixes. Over the weekend, they purchased Cocoa Mulch from Target to use in their garden. They loved the way it smelled and it was advertised to keep cats away from their garden. They set the bag in their yard.
Their dog, Calypso, decided that the mulch smelled good enough to eat so she broke into it and devoured a large helping. She vomited a few times which was typical of her when she would get into something she shouldn't have gotten in to. She was not acting lethargic in any way. The next day, Mom woke up and took Calypso out for her morning walk. Half way through the walk, she had a seizure and died instantly.
Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on the label, upon further investigation on the company's website, this product is HIGHLY toxic to dogs. Denise (Calypso's mom) wanted me to pass this information along so no one had to experience the same tragedy she went through.
In Loving Memory of Calypso.
Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey's, and they claim that "It is true that studies have shown that 50% of the dogs that eat Cocoa Mulch can suffer physical harm to a variety of degrees (depending on eachindividual dog). However, 98% of all dogs won't eat it."
Hersey's comment is not much comfort to the owners of the 1 in fifty dogs who will eat it!

chocolate pudding (the cooked kind not the instant)
I work with a woman who told me a couple of weeks ago that she's never had cooked pudding...ever! How can that be? She's probably 45 years old or so and she's only had instant pudding in all of her life! I said get some and cook some NOW!!

Haagen Dazs Choco Chip cookie dough Ice cream
Bailey's Irish creme ice cream - VERY GOOD!!
I love the chocolate chip ice cream bars.. Those are good! Dove and Klondike are good also.

Locally, the Pakstani guy was in the 7-11 to sell me my coffee, the Turkish guy was in the gas station to sell me my gasoline, the Vietnamese nail salon next to the gas station was open, my British hubby went to work and hasn't reported the absence of any of his British, Austrailian, New Zealand, Indian, or Pakistani co -workers. The Iranian guy who runs the cellphone store is here. I haven't noticed any less people in the local stores or roads. Has anyone here noticed any issues or problems today?

DR MARIA sorry you didn't find LITTLE EGYPT your cuppa. Maybe the subject is more intriguing than the work.
Taking a quick break. Just time enough to say that Little Egypt is not about that Little Egypt. The title refers to an area in southern Illinois where the Wabash, the Ohio, and the Mississippi rivers meet. (The southernmost part of this area is a place called Cairo.) That's all I know. You can look the rest up on Google if it's of interest.

I watched the first hour of THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM. The frame story of the brothers may not be very interesting, but those fairy tales are just delightful.
True to my memory, the TCM print shown was wonderfully wide (I suspect taken from the 35mm print used for the general release, but it looks wider to my eyes than the reduced 35mm HOW THE WEST WAS WON transfer). Sadly, it has faded pretty badly with almost all of the color drab and uninteresting. I do love all the CInerama point-of-view shots they've thrown in.
I remember at one of the Warner chats that the execs knew the film was in terrible shape and needed a complete restoration which they didn't seem convinced was going to ever happen. A shame.

Then I watched LAW & ORDER: CI, an immersive episode with a flashy poker player used in a murder plot. Didn't go anywhere I was expecting and ended up one of the better episodes of the season. John Pankow was the major guest star.
-
And then I watched last Thursday's THE OFFICE, a hilarious episode with Dwight assuming storm trooper status investigating the office staff when a joint is found in the parking lot. Really loved this episode.

I have THE SOPRANOS cued up ready to watch when I go back down this evening.

Good Afternoon!
So... I left The Palace Theatre around 10:45 Saturday night... Then drove down to DC... I dropped a friend off who was making the drive down with me... Then I went ahead and decided to go ahead and make the rest of the drive down to Richmond that night/morning... I called my friend, Mike - he's a night manager for a hotel - and was able to crash at his place, so... I drove down to Richmond... Got in around 6:00am... Ended up sleeping until 4:30 Sunday afternoon... Headed over to Steve's for some dinner... Stayed over at Steve's last night... Headed back up to Fairfax this morning... Made a stop at my storage unit... Made a stop at IKEA... And about an hour ago, I met my new niece, Emily Juliet! :)
-And the weather has been glorious for my two days off so far too! -Of course, I practically slept through most of yesterday... ;)
Well, I'm actually in the midst of babysitting - Emily is sleeping right now, so...
I hope everyone is doing well. VIBES to those who need them. I should be getting back to my quasi-normal routine of reading and posting and sitting there like so much fish as the week progresses.

I am not an immigrant DR Vixmom, but I did stay home from work today...
Just finished watching UNWED MOTHER (1958) starring Norma Moore and my friend Diana Darrin...fun movie...much better then even I expected...and chock full of familiar faces

Now, I think I shall take a nap!

I have been trying to find a new Ben & Jerry's flavor--Pineapple sourbet with (I think) a coconut swirl. Haven't sighted it yet. Until then, it's me and my Klondike Bars.

Has anybody seen anything of these so-called "Immigrant Protests" today?
Locally, the Pakstani guy was in the 7-11 to sell me my coffee, the Turkish guy was in the gas station to sell me my gasoline, the Vietnamese nail salon next to the gas station was open, my British hubby went to work and hasn't reported the absence of any of his British, Austrailian, New Zealand, Indian, or Pakistani co -workers. The Iranian guy who runs the cellphone store is here. I haven't noticed any less people in the local stores or roads. Has anyone here noticed any issues or problems today?
Low-key here

Where's my little green bottle of Doan's Pills?
A wise choice!
DURHAM, NC—Modern science achieved a major breakthrough Tuesday, when researchers at Duke University's prestigious Non-Prescription Research Laboratory used a high-tech, $55 million backache-imaging system to definitively prove that Doan's pills really work.

I've gotten a great desire to watch THE WONDRFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM. I recorded the movie off TCM a couple of years ago, but I have no idea how it will look on the larger screen TV.

Well I enjoyed the movie CASANOVA - some fine performances, lovely scenery (CGI of course), lovely costumes, and nice music by Alexandre Desplat.

Back from the editing room - the video has now been uprezzed, which took about three hours. That's all he could get done today, so tomorrow he finishes letterboxing everything. At noon, I do the audio session with a proper audio guy, and I know I'll be much happier with things after that's done. Then, all that's left to do is the audio layback onto the video and to color correct a few scenes - then we're done, probably by Wednesday or Thursday.
Am thinking about taking a quick jog now, so I'm in the proper mode for the play reading (the play opens with a middle-aged Jew getting back from jogging).

Fred, thank you very much for including me in the refuah shelaymah. I really appreciate all the prayers I can get. Actually, the Methodists are a lot like Jews, except we Methodists are under the impression that the louder we sing the better we sound.

Has anyone ever had coffee ice cream?
Yes.
-
It was officially 99F here in Phoenix in the Grand Canyon State. One more degree and I would have turned on the air conditioner for the season. Maybe tomorrow.
-
When we have coffee ice cream in stock, it sells pretty quick, no matter who makes it. Then we get complaints from the people who didn't get into the store in time to get them their coffee ice cream.
-
.....wrapped in bacon....inside a hot dog bun....smothered with French's mustard.

Coffee ice-cream NEVER!
I drink and enjoy coffee but do not care for it as a flavouring in chocolates, cakes or whatever.

DD TCB (and others), DP Colin and I light a candle at the dinner table some nights. It is burning for those who need support and love. It focuses our thoughts and we don't light it every night as it then becomes somehow less potent. I have a good friend in London who does the same. Knowing that candle has been burning for me at times has been very beneficial.

I work with a woman who told me a couple of weeks ago that she's never had cooked pudding...ever! How can that be? She's probably 45 years old or so and she's only had instant pudding in all of her life! I said get some and cook some NOW!!
I prefer instant pudding.

JRand55, UNWED MOTHER and TOO SOON TO LOVE are on a double feature DVD that was released by VCI last week. Also released was PORTLAND EXPOSE and THEY WERE SO YOUNG...some nifty Allied Artists' B films!!

Coffee ice cream and sauerkraut? I think not.
(Although I did joke with a customer today who was buying hot dogs and chocolate chip cookie dough. I asked her if she was attempting some variation on pigs in a blanket. She laughed.)

I went to the Ice Cream Capital of the World today. They had shirts that said "Ice Cream - it's good for the body" and
"Give me all the ice cream and no one gets hurt" Ice cream means a lot to me.

I had a great dessert that was really strong coffee cooled to room temp then poured over vanilla ice cream. It was quite tasty.

And now for something completely different:
I bought my DVD copy of Disney's "Song of the South" from efilmic.com but you can't find it by doing any kind of search on the site...you have to know the specific link (I got it in an e-mail from a co-worker, who got the link in an e-mail ad from efilmic.com, themselves!). I just happened to be looking through my bookmarks here at work and there it was! I thought I had deleted it a long time ago. So, if anyone's interested, HERE'S (http://www.efilmic.com/special.asp?SOTS=EISNER) the link. And it's on sale right now. Just had to share. :)

Thanks Ginny, the trip was great. The wedding was perfect and beautiful, even the wait staff said so. Check out the location, www.robinsonranchgolf.com . The views were lovely.
The father of the bride gave such a wonderful toast I was sobbing. It was very emotional and we have been such good close friends (I’m including Keith) since we were fifteen.
Bruce, Ron (to everyone else, Ron is the uncle of the bride & hight school classmate of Bruce) said he never received an email from you regarding Deceit. He was very disappointed to have missed it.

Finished with the Brothers Grimm tonight, and was pleased to see the film did have an intermission. Makes a good breaking point to dub this over to two DVDs. Bob Merrill's songs are simple but fun, and Leigh Harline's underscore is magical.

THE SOPRANOS had a very hyper episode this week, I thought. The stories kept crosscutting much too quickly back and forth for my taste.

And I was not pleased to see Vito come back into the show. I was hoping with him running far away, that he'd simply try to start a new life and leave the old one behind so that we'd never know about him ever again. I guess that's not in the cards.

Just finished a very nice hot bath.
Now I'm off to read more of The Kite Runner. I've been meaning to read it since DR jane recommeded it ages ago. Boy am I into this one. I was up half the night reading last night. I imagine the same will happen tonight, so I better fo while the night is young.

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. Well, I will last out the season with this show, but if there is anything of interest on opposite it next year, I will not be returning, I don't think. It just doesn't make me laugh or even smile very often.

IT is called Canadian Snowball
In a large cup fill 2/3 with dark brewed hot, hot coffee, add a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream (optional) drizzle with chocolate syrup, pepperming syrup or crushed candy canes. Chocolate shaving on top.
It is good. The local coffeeshop makes it. They are my down fall
I have made it at home and have put a small shot of Canadian Windsor or Jameson's in it!
