And the word of the day is: MORDANT!Ethan Mordant: Didn't he write all those books about musicals? Or were they merely mordant?
My wife and I saw THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO last Monday on Sandy's birthday.
It was a good film, We enjoyed it, but also agree that it was an unnecessary remake. Except for the fact that you had to read subtitles, the Swedish version was better.
And the word of the day is: MORDANT!
Still having internet problems. Frustratingly it comes and goes.
And the word of the day is: MORDANT!Ethan Mordant: Didn't he write all those books about musicals? Or were they merely mordant?
I'm sure. Still, the books are fun to read and argue with. Just finished the Cecil Smith you recommended (well, his half). There's an addendum with everything from "The King and I" to "Sweeney Todd."And the word of the day is: MORDANT!Ethan Mordant: Didn't he write all those books about musicals?

I once knew a total ass of an author with a similar name!

I must be off in Lal al land I just received an email from Encores about the upcoming "Merrily We Roll Along " production amd it listed teh musical director as Rob Berman - I am sure Elmpre must have posted about this and it didnlt register inmy tiny little brain
Most theorists do make it up. Sometimes it's based on fact, but as I dig deeper into this horrible degree program, the more I'm convinced that they love the people who make it up.I'm sure.

Cecil Smith died around 1956. I have the first edition of only his half. It's a good book. He saw the shows. I believe Ass Mordant makes it up.
Vixmom, Betsy is making a delicious chili this week, but I'm afraid JohnG would probably disapprove, as it won't have meat and will have beans. I never knew that Texas chili didn't have beans until I watched that episode of Top Chef: Texas.I still haven't seen that episode, even though I was there.
Today at church Pastor announced that on February we will have our first annual Church chili cookoff contestI've participated in church chili cookoffs before, but those don't generally go by any rules. I would just look through a few cookbooks or do some google searches and just make whichever one sounds best to you.
Rob G didn't you recently judge a chili contest? Do you have any recipes you would care to share? I have never made chili in my life
but I like a nice medium chili ( not too hot I mean)
Nach einmal.Closing vibes for DR JOSE.Ditto!
I had a very, very unpleasant incident on Thursday, followed by some unexpected and very bad news on Friday. I am still reeling from it. Some of this is fall-out from a very poor economy. I am trying to cope.Many vibes.

I read the notes re: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and was wondering for those who have read the books what is left out?
And what things are different than what was left out of the Swedish version?
(Probably don't read this if you are unfamiliar with the books/movies - don't want to spoil anything for anyone).

I am curious in the US version did they show anything about Erika and Mikael's relationship? I remember they left that out of the Swedish version and that really bothered me. Because in the books something that happens with them at the end of the first book is what starts everything that happens in the 2nd book. So to me that was a big thing to be left out.

It's in the US version and is part of what DR DRUXY described as anti-climactic. It's part if the reason I liked this version. I think in some ways it's closer to the book
Ah well
I'm back from "Lyrics and Lyricists." It was really wonderful. Howard McGillin, Laura Osnes, Christine Andreas and BK's good friend Jason Graae performed the songs of Walter Donaldson and Gus Kahn. Some of the songs are: Ain't We Got Fun, How Ya Gonna Keep Em Down on the Farm, Pretty Baby, My Buddy, It Had to Be You, Toot, Toot Tootsie, Carolina in the Morning, My Blue Heaven, Dream a Little Dream of Me, San Francisco, Makin' Whoopee, Love Me or Leave Me, I'll See You in My Dreams.
I'll be back once my next (small) load of clothes is in the dryer.Yup. I hear ya.
Laters...

I think I also liked seeing the extended ending in the Hollywood movie if only because it drove home to me further why the book in Sweden is called something that translates into "Men Who Hate Women" and it sets up why she won't speak to him in the second part of the tale.
Oh...
And the company of My Fair Lady gave me a very nice card that was attached to a very nice bouquet flowers.

does anyone else here have a favorite chili recipe they would care to share?
Rex is starting to act like a cat again. Until I try to force feed him.
does anyone else here have a favorite chili recipe they would care to share?
Are there any requirements? Restrictions?
Is a "true" chili cook-off? Just a "bowl of red"? -No beans, no tomatoes, etc.

I don't think there are any rules except it must be homemade
I just open some cans when I make chili.
I like white chili the best.
...**Also remember that chili always tastes better the next day. Make a batch, eat some of it if you wish, then refrigerate the rest. Reheat it gently when it comes to serve it.

And yes, you are correct, no beans, no corn, no tofu, no faux-fu (for the tofu intolerant), no potatoes and for some, no tomatoes, either.
Odd dreams, as if I were still back in law school, only with the lower energy of a 50-something rather than the higher energy of a teen or 20-something. I wonder if remembering my law school drama group escapades last night caused these dreams.
Jrand, please don't interpret, or at least don't interpret unless you can give a substantial discount on the Dream-o-matic reading.

I am having a problem with three pdf files for DEAREST ENEMY that I have not had with the other 18 pdf files for the show: my printer refuses to print them! Theylook fine on the computer screen, but when I try to print, they begin a download and then shut down.
I'm working on my brief. I have the intro garbage and my main issue finished, I have a couple lesser issues to brief then I can quit for the night and put the whole thing together tomorrow and get it in the mail. Hoo and Ray this thing will get mailed.....ON the due date for mailing...which I hate to do, but it will be done and in the mail.
and I thin kit was very gracious of John G to overlook the fact that I typed JohnI have been called much worse.

I thought FJL wrote "don't interupt," and I was wondering how you interupt on a typed site.

Do any of you fine folks know (or remember) the name of a sort of puzzle game I had when I was a kid. It had three spindles and circular discs of smaller to larger diameters which fit on the spindles. The goal was to get the discs from one spindle on the left to the one on the right without ever putting a larger disc on top of a smaller disc.
