Well, you've read the notes, on the notes they put panties, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they want to wear panties, too.

In my CD player at work:  nine, count 'em NINE CDs that I bought as replacements for CDs that were stolen from me sometime this summer.  I know I can't replace them all, but I'll get what I get.

From www.dresscircle.co.uk, I bought the London cast recordings of Carousel, City of Angels, Copacabana and Elegies for Angels Punks and Raging Queens.  They're having a special, Buy 2 CD's For £8.99 (http://www.dresscircle.co.uk/sectionitemdetails.asp?ContentID=2603).  It's a very good deal.  It was just about $40 for the four CDs, including shipping!

Also, I bought four CDs on eBay.  I got the original cast recordings of Howard Crabtree's Whoop-Dee-Doo!, Howard Crabtree's When Pigs Fly, Wig in a Box: Songs from and Inspired by Hedwig and the Angry Inch (which I had never owned in the first place) and Naked Boys Singing (the only CD that I already have and it wasn't one that was stolen, but it has the other cover on it, so I'll keep it).  I got these all for a grand total of $28.46!

And on Wednesday, I received the original Broadway cast recording of City of Angels for less than nine bucks.  I love this recording!

But I told my sister to save her money - she and her husband may be spending a lot of time by themselves at the store today.  Time will tell.

Hopefully my nephews will be by to shovel my driveway and sidewalk.

DR Basil, you were a real posting frenzy last night. I think you will have no problem fitting into the madness of HHW.

DR Ginny, I'm sorry to hear the snow has screwed up your moving plans. I was expecting to find everything in Manhattan buried today, but perhaps that will happen to us tomorrow. The weather folk like to predict the worst.

Good morning!

The gods must be smiling down upon me; snow and ice missed us, and now it's gloriously beautiful outside. COld as all get-out, of course, but no icy conditions that will make getting to my usual Friday places difficult. And it's going to get colder dipping below the teens for the next few nights. This is really scary cold for us!

With the directors of THE HURT LOCKER, UP IN THE AIR, AVATAR, PRECIOUS, and INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS receiving DGA nominations yesterday, I think it's clear those five films will vie for the Best Picture Oscar. But there are five more slots to fill this year. Wonder what will be there?

STAR TREK?

Once again, another label has moved up a release date so that they now butt heads with our next announcement - we calculated very carefully based on this label's PUBLISHED dates of announcements, and then they move it up a week as soon as they find out when we're announcing.  They've done this twice before and I've been very vocal about it publicly and privately, but always trying to do so with a sense of humor.  Not anymore, baby, not anymore.  Let the games begin.

Also, there is a website called DVD Beaver where there are screencaps of new discs and sometimes comparisons between two DVD releases or a DVD vs. Blu-Ray release.  The caps have never really been that good or accurate, but lately, over the last three weeks, they've all looked awful - murky, milky, and hazy.  I just couldn't believe that some of the new films he was "reviewing" looked like that.  Then he put caps up of Billy Jack, where the DVD caps looked 100% better.  Now, I'd just seen that Blu-Ray a couple of weeks ago and the transfer is superb with great color and contrast.  So, I finally wrote the Beaver and told him what a disservice he was doing putting up caps that didn't resemble the film transfer at all.

He wrote back and was very argumentative, doing the usual thing - it must be MY computer monitor, or my Blu-Ray set up, or my TV.  I wrote back and said no, it wasn't any of those things, that everything looks great on my computer monitor including the caps from the DVD of Billy Jack.  And that my TV and Blu-Ray set up were more than fine.  This morning I had another response from him telling me I was right.  He looked at his caps on a different monitor and saw exactly what I was seeing - turns out that on the computer he was using to do the caps the gamma was off which caused the lousy contrast and milkiness.  He's fixed them now, and while they're not perfect, they're at least in the ballpark.

I'm glad it went okay.

Do all the dogs walk without leashes when people hike?

I guess it's sort of remote. but I know i hate it when people have their dogs loose on the bike path (it's a walking path too).
   

We also have a asphalt bicycle/walking path where it is rare to see a dog off leash.  the hiking trails do have bikers & most people rein their dogs in if the dogs might want to chase or play.  the dogs on leash on the hiking trails are usually not friendly or runners.  the majority of dogs on the trails are friendly & off leash.  it is the extra active, young friendly dogs i have to worry about.

Speaking of review sites, oy and vey and also vey and oy.  I have been dealing with an unending series of PM's (private messages in internets lingo) from a disgruntled reader who just can't get it through his head why my review of an audio only title doesn't explicitly state it's audio only.  Despite the fact that the review template has no video codec, no designation of 1080i or 1080p, and no "video quality" section.  It truly boggles my mind.  He then told me to go check Amazon, where I'd see "many" people were confused by this same thing.  I went to Amazon's page for the product, where the first thing I saw was a big bold statement:

THIS IS AN AUDIO ONLY DISC.

Yes, extremely confusing, that.

Speaking of pains, my followup with the urologist yesterday was rather interesting.  He is convinced this residual pain I have, which is the same pain I have been experiencing once or twice a year for about two to three years, is not kidney related.  It's too low to be my kidneys, evidently.  So they're going to do another CAT scan and see if I have a pinched nerve.

It was!  Because this company has a large Indian contingent, they serve Indian cuisine for lunch every first Friday of the month.  It was all delish.  (There was also baked ziti on the side for those who did not want Indian food--some on our team ate both!)  A cake was served afterwards to further welcome us into the company.

My favorite part of the trip turned out to be the train ride which, once we were out of the city limits, went up along the Schuylkill River.  Very scenic in the snow.  And it only took a half hour.  Since this train ride will be part of my daily back-and-forth commute, I'm very happy that it's a nice one.

thanks everyone for the words of support over my outing yesterday.  i wish i could return today, but alas i will be back to drugs & PT.



Be careful how you say something like that--you don't want The National Enquirier quoting you out of context on a cover story!

DR Jane, once you've got better use of your arm, maybe you could ask your PT how to take a fall?  I've been trying to think of what kind of classes would teach that sort of thing but nothing comes to mind.  I wonder if there's some kind of adult gymnastics class?...

actually i'm pretty good at falling.  this time i was knocked down flat, nothing to be done about it.  i didn't even slide, just smack down hard sideways with the weight of my body on the outer side of my shoulder.  it really hurt & i couldn't move, yet i had no idea to the extent of my injury.  i never suspected even a little beak.  i've hurt that much before on falls, waited several minutes or more & slowly gotten up.  this time instead of the pain getting better it kept getting worst.  it wasn't until keith finally arrived & they rolled me over that the realization hit me i could not get up & walk out of there.

I went to college long-enough ago that there was still a phys ed requirement and one of the courses I took was figure skating.  The first thing the instructor made us do was skate to center ice and fall down.  I didn't become a proficient skater, but learned enough to appreciate watching it.

I think I have made my last payment for all of the bills I ran up this summer and fall at the doctor, hospital, and PT clinic. My insurance paid for about 80% of it (thank goodness), but those bills kept coming and coming for months after the actual visit. I guess they have to wait for insurance to pay before they send me a bill for the remainder of the amount due, but it took FAR too long.

I don't read him as a general rule; only when someone specifically links his column to an interesting post. But that's VERY insulting insinuating actors from somewhere other than NYC are MERELY "regional actors."

Then I watched THREE of the five Chantal Akerman pieces in the new Criterion/Eclipse set.

The first was only 11 minutes long, a silent film with the camera exploring two rooms of an apartment: the kitchen (with a drippy faucet) and a woman in bed staring at the camera on the first pass, masterbating under the covers on the second pass, and then eating an apple with other passes of the camera.

It was actually an irritating little piece.
Title: Re: ON LAMB CHOPS THEY PUT PANTIES
Post by: Matt H. on January 08, 2010, 01:22:37 PM
Next was a 62-minute silent film called HOTEL MONTEREY with a camera set up (mostly stationary) photographing interesting features of the hotel: the lobby, elevators (inside and out), hallways, stairwells, rooms (bed, bath), finally the camera starts to move toward the windows so we can see the view outside them. And it ends on the roof taken from several angles.

Yep, a 62-minute study of a hotel.

Next was NEWS FROM HOME, an 82-minute exploration of New York City in 1976, mostly from either street level or three sojourns into the subway. It's not silent like the other two. On the soundtrack, the director reads mundane letters from her mother who implores her constantly to write more and asks her questions she never seems to answer in her notes back home (which we never hear).

Images of NYC in 1976 are interesting, but it's at least half again as long as it should have been, and every sequence could have been shorter.

I haven't decided if I want to do another one tonight. It's at least a fictional film, the director's first, made in 1975 called JE TU IL ELLE. It's only 86 minutes long, so depending on what time I head downstairs, I may do it tonight.

I happened on THE TRAIL OF THE PINK PANTHER, the Pink Panther movie made after Peter Sellers' death using outtakes from previous films. David Niven was so weak his voice had to be dubbed (and it's OBVIOUS it's not Niven doing the talking), and Capucine looks embalmed.

speaking of PT, i didn't do very well.  i took a big step backward on one range of motion & didn't really move forward on the others.  the one i went backwards on has a normal rage of 90 degrees, after surgery normal is 45 degrees.  previosly i had been at 40.

I have lots of books at home that I will take to the office.  I may box some of them up this weekend.  I would have done it sooner, but with the weather, I wasn't about to go in and out of the cold moving them

boxes of books can wait, you don't want to slip on the ice with those in your arms.

when i was lying on the ground unable to move the guy who stopped encouraged me not to call an ambulance due to the high cost.  after about half an hour on the ground i was wondering of the wisdom not to call.  later i was glad i waited. 

jmk i'm sure your ambulance bill was nothing compared to the bill the hospital sent my insurance company for my 5 day stay-shocking beyond belief. 

Vibes for DR JMK. ~~~~

And do both of your insurances pay for most of the costs?

That is one very good thing about living in canada. Ambulance and hospital costs = 0.

I went ahead and got another of Chantal Akerman's films watched - JE TU IL ELLE (I, YOU, HE, SHE). Another very unusual movie: 40 minutes of getting over a broken love affair, about 20-25 minutes of hooking up with a married truck driver, and then the rest of the movie (about 20 minutes) of reinvolving herself with a former lesbian lover (with one of the most explicit lesbian love scenes I've ever watched).

The first part was pretty tedious actually (to get over her loss, she eats BAGS of sugar with a spoon). The truck driver was the most interesting segment for me simply because I knew they were strangers, and I was curious how she'd insinuated herself into his life.

So that will leave me with one last Akerman film in the set which I'll watch tomorrow night (it's over two hours long) - LES RENDEZVOUS D'ANNA.

The films are certainly one-of-a-kind, but I kind of look forward to more traditional fare that'll be coming my way next week. Just got the word that the Blu-ray of SURROGATES (with Bruce Willis) was shipped today, so I should get it at some point next week.

Next, I watched an episode of THE MENTALIST from the first season box set. This was the one with the 10 million missing dollars being searched for by a con woman, an ex-wife, a business partner, and others. One of them is also a killer.

Then I watched tonight's GHOST WHISPERER. A pretty convoluted plot this week, but it did involve me. I just wish Jim had more to do in these episodes.
Title: Re: ON LAMB CHOPS THEY PUT PANTIES

And I ended my evening watching tonight's MEDIUM. Very good episode with some neat twists.

I think I am too tired to watch anything on tv tonight. So GHOST WHISPERER and MEDIUM will have to wait. Although i am looking forward to seeing both.

And on that note (C#), I'm off.  Time to head home for dinner and TV (Ghost Whisperer and Medium).

Until later!

My evening internet surf was very quick. Now, I have a little bit of writing to do and then it's downstairs to bed.

I've been watching a ninety minute interview with Sondheim and Frank Rich from the Kennedy Center back in 2001 or 2002.  Very interesting, because the Sondheim and Rich show was new back then and Sondheim was fresh.

2002.  That was the semi-official opening of "Camp Sondheim" - a.k.a. The Kennedy Center's Sondheim Celebration.  Can you see me in the audience? ;)

DR MBarnum - Will this movie be coming to a theatre near you?

'PYAAR IMPOSSIBLE'
Love Story That Flits Across Time and Space
(http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/09/movies/09pyaar.html)

*And it looks like The New York Times has added Bollywood movies to their regular weekly movie review round-up.

DR Cillaliz - The Strand Bookstore here in NYC will sell you books "by the foot".  You can even specify size (height) and color scheme if you'd like.  *They sell "libraries" to TV and movie set dressers, as well as to people who happen to have a lot of shelves to fill. ;)
