When this court thing is over 1st week of March, must tell what has been going on, so glad I never had a divorce or had to deal with child custody issues. Yuck. My name was mentioned and I just can not figure out why, except that someone is not getting what they want, or maybe realize that they made a mistake. It's been 5 years, don't people get over it.
My mind and heart have been going crazy, the fear and flight thing has been happening, beyond my control.

I think it's so considerate of those sweet Mormons to go around proxy baptizing people like Simon Wiesenthal and Anne Frank. ::)Let's not forget Hitler on that list.

DVD - NIGHT CALLER (aka BLOOD BEAST FROM OUTER SPACE) 1965 low budget British sci-fi B movie, in the Quatermass vein, recently released on the Renown label. The score is by Johnny Gregory; great arranger - I still have some of his LP records. Includes a colorized version with some of the most awful colors I've ever seen.
Did anyone read that Rick Santorum has accused President Obama of encourage young people to go to college because colleges are "indoctrination mills" that strip young people of their "faith commitment".

JRand61, to ready you for the onslaught of Hindi disco songs here is a clip of the adorable Pakistani singer Nazia Hassan, the gal most responsible for bringing disco music to India in the late 1970s.
This is from a British TV pop program in the early 80s.

DR Elmore, it does amaze one that the GOP, who used to stand for "less government intervention," seem so intent on legislating regulations on the human body and citizen's love lives.
Vibes for John G, as alwaysMany thanks.

I believe I may be close to being in Rapture seance. My shipment arrived today, and while I haven't played it yet, it looks perfect. This probably won't mean a lot to anyone, but I managed to get the incredibly rare Paul Winter recording Road, which was released on CD for about 10 minutes 20 years ago. It normally sells for hundreds and I got it for $20.

MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE
I'm pretty sure that despite not being a Mormon, Santorum was behind the proxy baptism of Hitler. ;)
I cannot possibly express my excitement over just having received an overnight shipment from Universal containing the hotly anticipated BARBIE: A MERMAID TALE 2. Somehow I missed BARBIE: A MERMAID TALE 1.A murder trial just ended here, and one of the witnesses was named Kenneth Doll. I think I would have to hate my parents if they named me Ken Doll.

Sorry, MBarnum, I can't remember a title except for Lagaan at the moment. That was the one that got me hooked. And I don't even like cricket, but I watched all four hours.
Saw a gorgeous male cardinal yesterday as I left work yesterday. Surrounded by plenty of green foliage, his red coat of feathers was a tonic before the rush hour traffic.

I doubt Anita Bryant was homophobic at all. She basically followed the script her husband gave her.
I hadn't realised how tame my goldfish are. They swim close to the surface of the pond and let me stroke them with my fingers. I'm amazed that all the local cats (including Daisy) don't catch them but maybe the fish are used to me and have the good sense to swim deep when the cats are around!

Another favorite is "Kandukondain Kandukondain" since it is Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensability." But I heard that wasn't really Bollywood because of the language it was filmed in. But anything with Aishwarya Rai is fine with me.

My current favorite Bollywood movie is LOVE EXPRESS.
It is delightfully amusing and sweet. Just a nice feel good movie. The plot is about an express train loaded with people heading to Mumbai for the (arranged marriage) of two people who have no desire to get married to each other, and who conspire to get their families to call off the marriage.
It is the first film for it's director Sunny Bhambhani as well as the four leads, all of whom do a fantastic job.
Here is the trailer. Even the non-Bollywood fans ought to enjoy this.

Hi all. More news. It seems they want me sooner than Tuesday. I'm going up on Monday and staying through Wednesday. I hate to say it but I don't know if we will have time for a meet while I'm there because my plane leaves at 7:10 PM. I know I have to be there by 5 to check in so it would have to be an early dinner. Shucks. I was told I'm staying at the Hudson. I read about guards on the elevators and one person wrote that you go there when you don't want to be found!
All manner of good vibes, prayers, chants, whatever it takes for you Dear TCB!!!
