Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a little Saturday in them, as well as a little Sunday, and now it's time for you to post until the Saturday night cows come home on Sunday morning - as if.

Well...speaking of "A Wizard of Earthsea" (and who wasn't ;)), the library system that I work for has a program that they call "Timberland Reads Together."  Every year, they have an adult reading program where everyone in Timberland (who chooses to participate) reads the same book at the same time and this year, the book is "A Wizard of Earthsea (http://www.trlib.org/trlnews08/pr-trt-leguin-0608.htm)."  Pretty cool, huh? :D

Today is international day here, where like 20 different countries each set up stands in the park and give plates of free food.  Last year it was so delicious. Although it's a bit hard because they need to know how to keep their food hot on site!

I wonder if they will be serving breakfast (not) because i am starving.

I woke up early today to watch the Canadians in rowing!  I guess because canada has always done well at rowing that i've gotten used to it. It's interesting to watch.

Yesterday we finally got our first medals: a gold, a silver and a bronze!

Tonight on tv: Big Brother
More Olympics

Happy Birthday to DR SWW.

It is over....Singin' In the Rain has ended its COMPLETELY SOLD OUT run!  We struck the set, cleaned the theatre from horn to hoof, and then had a party and talent show!

I got home at four ayem.  It's crazy that all of the stuff you took to the theatre over the last five weeks has to come home in ONE trip.....

BUT I also brought home something extra....Shelly and I WON the talent show competition....so we now have a traveling trophy!

AND I will read the new book in a few hours, when I get up for real!

From today's notes:

Quote
This must be one of our big birthday months, so it’s time once again to put on our pointy party hats and our colored tights and pantaloons, it’s time to break out the cheese slices and the ham chunks, it’s time to dance the Hora or the Carioca, for today is the birthday of dear reader S. Woody White, who has been around these here parts from the very beginning, and even before that he was a regular reader of The Real A’s columns. So, let’s give a big haineshisway.com birthday cheer to our very own S. Woody White. On the count of three or the duke of four: One, two, three: A BIG HAINESHISWAY.COM BIRTHDAY CHEER TO OUR VERY OWN S. WOODY WHITE!!!

Der Brucer did indeed give me more DVDs of the classic Doctor Who stories: The Time Warrior, which features Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor and introduces Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, and the box set "Beneath the Surface," which holds Doctor Who and the Silurians (awkward title, that), The Sea Devils (both from the Pertwee era), and Warriors of the Deep (featuring Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor).

This should keep me busy for a while.   :D

The only real problem is in storage - I've been keeping all the Doctor Who discs in story order, and the box set jumps around a bit, containing stories 52, 62, and 131.  The only thing to do is take the keepboxes out of their box-set box (which is just paperboard, after all), but the cover illustration on the box is rather nice.  I'll just have to figure out some place to store that, specially.

In any case, the discs are loaded with extras, which should be not as fluffy as they would be if the show were USA produced.  The BBC Video crew has a good track record on making their bonus materials.  (Oooh, here's one our esteemed BK would appreciate: a nine-minute Now and Then featurette about the location shooting, on the Silurian disc.  He should get ahold of the people producing the discs like Adam-12 and bitch-slap them silly until they make similar featurettes for the discs he's watching - maybe they could get him to produce those featurettes, start a whole new phase of his career!)
Title: Re:SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING
Post by: S. Woody White on August 17, 2008, 06:56:21 AM
The arrival of the discs also means it's time to re-organize our disc storage.  It's been a few months, and our entire library is a bit out of order.  It doesn't take der B and myself to use up the shelf-space around here!

Good morning, all! I shall venture out today and see what work I can accomplish at Toyland.

I finished QUICKSILVER last night; it's only 600+ pages and I still feel ambivalent about it.  There are a couple of wonderful scenes and a great portrait of an aging lesbian star who's egocentric, petty, and cheap - based on Kathrine Cornell - as well as a lot of "rah rah theatre!" I got over many many years ago.  I must say, though, that the book pulls off the gay seduction of a young extra by a star based on, I believe, Orson Wells or Tyrone Power, that I thought was far from oblique for a 1942 popular novel.  I also though the novelist was too too kind to the anti-semitic rich girl: he should have had her die under a bus or taxi.

It was a beautiful morning for a walk: shady, breezy, and almost (dare I say it?) cool at only 83 degrees.

I don't think it's quite 83 degrees here - but it may be - but I believe I shall be going for a walk too this morning.  I've never been to St. John's Church - home of the Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death" speech - and since I'm not too far from there this morning, well...  We shall see..

I was awakened from a very sound sleep by a HUGE thunderclap and the resultant rain. I did doze about 45 minutes more, but I'm not sure I ever really go back to a deep sleep.

I am enjoying once more this delicious morning coolness which I've gotten quite spoiled having these last few days. I fear this may be the last.

He was probably just trying to be realistic.  If all the anti-semitic rich girls died under busses or taxis, the bus and taxi repairmen would be the neuveu riche from the bumper replacement costs, and then where would we all be?

Thank you all for the birthday greetings yesterday!

The wedding was wonderful and you will not believe its the same The Vixter when I get back to NY next week and post the pictures

She went out with her cousin, the Bride, to have her hair and makeup doena nd we did not see her again until we were at the church..

I know she's mine, but gosh, she was stunning....

The reception followed the British custom of havinga  dinner and speechifying, speeches by fathers and mothers of Bride and Groom, Matrons of Honor (there were 2) Best Men (there were 2), siblings of the happy couple and anyone else who wanted to speak.  The Vixter came up and gave a spontaneous speech tellinga story about how she and her cousin (who is 10 years older than her) were mistaken for mother and daughter several years ago and Vixcousin's indignation at the time that she could have been thought old enough to have a 8 year old daughter then she segued into her apprciation for havinbg sucha wonderful older cousin who cared and looked after her as if she wer a mother and segued into what a woindeful mother she is sure the Bride will be someday.... Vixdad, Vixgranny and Vixgrandad and I wer all beaming she did a much better job at with her spontaeous speech than many of the people 2 and 3 times her age who had written theirs down

I spent the morning working in the garden and slapping those perky skeeters that DR Ron talks about. Not only did a few follow me indoors, but one rode in on my arm. The nerve!! SWAT!!

The mosquitos here are terrible, plus I discovered a new yellow jacket nest. One stung me on the fingertip, but I shook him off before he got a good hold on me. Semi-ouch. Beside the usual dozens of mossquito bites, I was also stung by two "sweat bees". Not as bad as a real bee sting, but hurts much more than a mosquito bite.

Ouch is right! I've only been biten by a bee once and hope to keep it that way. As for the skeeters, I don't recall seeing this many before.

Today was "The Blessing of the Animals" at our church, so I leashed Dixie Bell up, got her into the car and took her to an outdoor service.
We ran and ran through the adjoining cemetery with Miss Dixie only taking two little lay-me-downs to regroup her thoughts.
Only one other dog was there, Moses a gorgeous basset hound, who took a liking to Dixie; the feeling was mutual. (Thank goodness).
Once the blessing began, Dixie sat next to the keyboard and behaved beautifully.
The twenty or so parishoners all came over to Dixie at the end of the service and complimented her.
Now Dixie Bell is completely worn out and my sweat glands are still working overtime.

While DBF was here, we went and saw the movie Mamma Mia. Granted Pierce Brosnan's singing talents aside, it is a fun movie and perfect for summer.

It was a fun movie. I really liked the actress who played Sophie. Julie Walters was a hoot! Her and Christine Baranski are fun to watch.

The local independent theatre has been playing classic movies all summer. DBF and I managed to see two of them. We saw American Graffiti and Breakfast at Tiffany's.  I draw the line at Caddyshack being classic...

DBF really enjoyed Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey Hepburn is an incredible actress and it was a real treat to watch that movie on the big screen.

However, we missed seeing Double Indemnity! Darn!

Back from the long jog on a brand new route - west instead of east.  It sure seems like a longer route but that may be because there are several more major intersections in that direction along with several minor ones.  The other route has only two major intersections and no minor ones.  I didn't think I was going to finish, but I did.

Very nice review, Jrand.  I will only say about the danger aspect that it's almost the same as the first book, although in this one she does have one incident in the park that's a little scary - at least it was to me when I was writing it.

Most of Adriana's exploits in the new book took place in daylight.....I like her out exploring at NIGHT....LOL

Hard to say why you want a character you like to be in peril....but it makes you wonder how she will get out of the situation.  

Hope you sell LOTS of books!  Will there be a reading for this one?

Good Afternoon!

I'm back from wandering around Richmond's historic Church Hill District.  And while I was wandering around, I managed to pay a visit to my friend, Mike, whom I haven't seen in about a year.  It was good to catch up with him, although, a little said to find out that he had to put down his cat - who he had for 15 years! - a few months ago.  It was a bit strange sitting on his back porch without Pussy - yes, that's what he named her - rubbing up against my leg and gently asking for attention every few minutes.

And I did indeed attend the re-enactment of the Second Virginia Convention of March 1775 at Historic St. John's Church (http://www.historicstjohnschurch.org/).

What could have easily come off as something hokey and overtly dramatic, turned out to be quite passionate, and at times very moving.  "We" sat in the pew of the church as Members of the Convention, and some of the actors were also seated in the pews.  The Convention was called to order, voices were raised, delegates were recognized, and we were all encouraged to respond "Aye!" or "Nay!" to the resolutions put forth.

They start the program off with an organ recital, which includes a sing-along of the various Armed Forces Hymns in honor of veterans past and present.  As each theme was played, members - active duty and retired - of the Coast Guard, Army, Marine Corps, Air Force and Navy were asked to stand up to be recognized and honored.

And right before we all started to sing "God Bless America", there was a moment of silence in honor of the most recent members of the US Armed Forces who had given their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.  They were both 22.  Needless to say, there were more than a few people trying to sing through the ensuing tears, myself included.

When I was eight or nine, my family live in Gales Ferry, Connecticut.  I still remember how one of the boy's down the street - I think his name was Andy - and I would sometimes catch bees - usually with the aid of an un-rinsed tuna fish can - and then proceed to pull out their stingers with our fingers.  Yes, we did get stung a few times, but, now that I think back on that.... WOW!  What the frell were we thinking?!?!?!?

Then it was back to the last two parts of FDR (about 2 hours and 15 minutes' worth).These pretty much dealt with the last two terms. Inevitably moving to see him going downhill but pushing himself to make it to the end of the war.

There were no special features on the FDR discs, so I plunged right into to TRUMAN, and I got about 25 minutes watched of the first disc. The first part of this TRUMAN documentary looks to be two hours or a bit more, so I'll likely finish disc 1 tonight, and if disc 2 isn't too long, I'll go on to it. I'll stop around 10 or thereabouts and watch LAW & ORDER:CI after it is broadcast so I can zip through commercials.

Yes, "The Unicorn and the Wasp" was a good giggle.  Der Brucer and I loved all the titles that worked their way into the dialogue.

I did finish mowing the yard and cleared out a ton of brush, trees, weeds etc.  Good grief, I had no idea my yard was growing out of control while I was busy this summer.

Then I got a hair cut. I haven't been happy with my usual place so I just went to Cost Cutters and I love it, lol.  I've cleaned litter boxes and will soon be doing laundry

I'm contemplating writing a country song called "Litterboxes and Laundry Were the Story of Her Life".

Other movies I'm waiting for on DVD (I of course forget to check on them) are "Lili" and "Travels With My Aunt".

I really do not understand the hold-up on LILI. I reocrded a DVD-R off TCM (had the HVS, too, but the DVD-R looked better), and the transfer TCM uses (and the VHS tape, too) has blue flashes fairly often through the movie. Perhaps Warners is looking for a decent print to use for a master or perhaps they're giving it a thorough restoration and it's just taking time.

We are back from a nice Sunday in Cincinnati.  At church this morning, Richard assisted as the substitute priest baptized his 3-year-old grandson.  Yes, Anglican priests can be married...

We then went to lunch at City Barbecue with Rob and Mary Linda and stopped at the grocery on the way home.  Now, we're chillin' and watching Olympics.  I'm literally chillin', sitting with a cold pack on my foot.  The mom of today's baptizee (is that a word?) is a nurse and has had the same foot surgery I had (but without the DVT complication).  I asked her if ice would help the swelling and she said, basically, "If it feels good, do it."  Remember that from the '60s?

Hey, Michael Barnum, while I was out and about today I came across a small South Asian/Indian street festival on 23rd Street and Madison Avenue. While I was tasting the samosas and other Indian treats I saw a man passing out DVDs. I took one and it turns out to be a promotional DVD for an upcoming movie, opening in New York City on September 12th.

The name of the movie is Loins of Punjab. It's put out by Horn OK Please Entertainment (you can't make this stuff up). The director is Manish Acharya. The stars are Shabana Azmi, Ajay Naidu, Ayesha Dharker and Darshan Jariwala.

Have you heard of this film or the director or the stars?

More importantly, do you want this promotional DVD? If you do, it's yours, I'll put it in the mail this week.

It says on the DVD that you can join the Bollywood Idol singing contest

There is also a Web site for the film Loins of Punjab (http://www.loinsofpunjab.com)

Sorry to encourage him Larry, but what am I going to do with this DVD  ;)

I am so tired!  Just got back from International day. It's turns out my brother-in-law's mother was serving food at the Filipino table (we found this out about 2 hours before the event).  And it turns out her sister made some of the food (her sister is a great cook!).

So even though i did stand in line at the table, his mom gave me a full spring roll (one of my favorite filipino treats).

The place is chaos. There were like 15 countries serving food: Greece, china, ghana, algeria, israel, philippines,  italy, sri lanka, poland and a few other. You had to line up. And then once you get a plate of food you go into another line. There was also dancing and music.

Good Evening!

Back from dinner at Joe's Inn - Bon Air - as opposed to the original Joe's Inn in The Fan.  In any case...

They had a couple of "Meal Salad Specials" tonight, and I gave one of them a try: The Rajun Cajun.  -Their spelling, not mine.  It was basically a blackened catfish filet atop a bed of iceberg lettuce.  However, the salad also included fried okra and "jalapeño bottlecaps" - which turned out to be breaded and deep-fried jalapeño pepper slices.  And, yes, they were spicy! Continuing with the hot and spicy theme, the dressing was Ranch Dressing spiked with Sriracha ("Rooster" Sauce).

Needless to say, I think I'm going to take a Tums or two before heading to bed tonight.

*One other interesting thing was how the catfish was listed in the menu description:  "blackened Pangasius".  I had never seen that before tonight.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I completely miscalculated my run route - I drove it the other day and it looked like I had to run to a certain street for it to be two miles and two miles back.  However, even then I thought it seemed way too long, and when I drove it today after running it what did I find?  I found I ran five miles instead of the four I've been doing for the entire week.  No wonder I thought I was going to expire on the last mile - I did it, but I don't need to do it again - I now know exactly where the two mile mark is.

I began my evening watching the rest of the TRUMAN documentary. Much of the stuff I knew, but the documentary does not paint a very flattering portrait of Bess Truman who comes off as spoiled, petulant, and one who never loved her husband as much as he loved her.

I'm not sure until the documentary I had ever heard Margaret's singing voice (which, of course, is discussed), and I laughed as I listened to her singing. Not as dreadful as, say, Susan Alexander in CITIZEN KANE, but nothing memorable about it.
