TOD:
A third vote for TEXTING.
It has taken the evolution of the Internet close to 20 years to irrevocably change life as we knew it. But in the overall scheme of things we gained much as we lost much.
Texting is nothing but dangerous (in all senses of the word) clutter with no essential, redeeming feature.
TOD:
Texting......agreed. Because of all of the above AND the money it costs so many people......

WARM-AIR HAND DRYERS
Does anyone like them? They are awful. Noisy; take ages to dry your hands; not as efficient as towels; studies have shown they are not as hygenic as towels. They are a backward step and are only installed because they are cheaper - not because they are better.

Can someone explain this huge slowdown in postings over the last two days after huge days of postings? Has someone left us again? Vacations?

That said, I can understand how knowing the movie would help explain why in "Outside the Box," the Jake character suddenly has a bandage on his nose.
I would have gotten it from having read the MAD magazine version of Chinatown as a kid -- my access to it since the movie was rated R and verboten to me at the time.That said, I can understand how knowing the movie would help explain why in "Outside the Box," the Jake character suddenly has a bandage on his nose.
I don't see "getting" any of it, period, if one hasn't seen the movie. I suppose one might smile at a well-known reference or two, but -- trust us, you ain't getting it! :)
I mean, a lot of people have some general sense of what Travis Bickle's "You looking at me?" is in reference to, but ... still, not really.
And I just realized I've done it again -- quoted the line as "you lookin' at me" instead of "you talkin' to me".The only way I remember "Ya talkin' to me" is because I had a clueless coworker who kept saying that all the time. You'd be in the middle of a conversation with him, he'd lose his place and just blurt that line out. We never knew if we were talking to Ted or to Travis Bickle. It was really rather funny.
I wonder how that ever got carved into my poor brain that way.
I believe my sister made Harper's outfit, by the way.
TOD: Texting. It has not only helped erode grammar and spelling, but it seems to be the cause of an increasing number of accidents.

Oh, that explains why Druxy is "busy."
It truly baffles me how anyone could not have seen Chinatown by now, at least anyone who considers themselves a movie buff or even anyone who loves movies. It's timeless, it's brilliant, and should be seen by everyone. For those here who haven't, you really must correct that mistake and believe me, it's a huge mistake.

I wonder if this will get a new recording.
Cotton Goes to Harlem, Five on the Black Hand Side, Sweet Sweetback's Bad---sssss Song and Foxy Brown -- all favorites from my late teens. Have fun exploring those.It truly baffles me how anyone could not have seen Chinatown by now, at least anyone who considers themselves a movie buff or even anyone who loves movies.

My reasons for not having yet seen CHINATOWN are that the 70s use to be my least favorite decade for films, and because this particular film stars people I have never liked much, so I never sought it out.
But now that the 80s are my least favorite decade for film, and the 70s are starting to feel nostalgic.....but, before I get to Chinatown I have a lot of Blaxploitation and "women in prison" movies from that era to watch first. :)
All of you people who somehow, inexplicably, have managed to never see CHINATOWN can do their penance by sending me some more swamp movies.

I wasn't the only one who watched it...someone else here did
I'm sure of it.

TOD: I'm sorry, folks, but my vote is for the entire "CELL PHONE" horror show. Driving while yakking on the phone, walking down the street and talking like you've been out in the sun too long, walking down store aisles completely oblivious to everyone around you, talking while on an elevator while shooting evil glares at anyone who dares make a noise while you are talking....and TEXTING, too...IT ALL NEEDS TO GO AWAY!
Still dealing with it, or rather the web guy is. It's a little nutty to me but it should all be taken care of soon. The department we're dealing with ONLY deals via e-mail and they respond to e-mails ONLY in the order they're received. I had my lawyer write that department a strongly-worded little missive just now and when the site is back up then we're either going to move it elsewhere or we're going to have a conversation that will prevent this sort of thing in the future.
Time for Uncle Mike to share....
...baby Harper with her toy kitchen is learning how to be a grown up, and she ain't all that pleased! Washing dishes is not her idea of fun!

Tuesday evening greetings! We are being treated royally here at Norwich Cathedral. Our days start at 7:30 am and end about 9pm. Exhausting, but worth it. Some photos on my Facebook, but I don't think I can post them here with my iPad.
Done with cardio. And today I feel done for. May be a short night.
And the word of the day is: BIRL!
Jane, my sister has become pretty handy with a sewing machine since she retired. Of course she used to make shirts for me when she was in High School and I was a little kid. I even modeled them at one of her school events. I guess I was her brand ambassador back then.
We are sorry but War Horse is not currently available to be lent by Priscilla E. and can no longer be borrowed.

A lot of places here have these new ones that are super loud and super fast. I love them. They zap your hands dry in seconds.

I agree with Harper (who is a cutie).Ditto!
DR Cilla at least a week ago I sent you a request for you to lend me a Barnes and Noble book through the "friends" exchange. I just now received the following:Oh, no, I don't think so. Why would it now be available for lending now? Let me check my books and see what I can figure outQuoteWe are sorry but War Horse is not currently available to be lent by Priscilla E. and can no longer be borrowed.

You'll be busy! and yes I really liked War Horse. Even better than the movie
Jane, I haven't borrowed or lent on Nook, so if I did get a notice, I may not have understood it.
Ok, I'll play with it.Jane, I haven't borrowed or lent on Nook, so if I did get a notice, I may not have understood it.
When you get a chance browse my books & see if there is something of interest, or try borrowing something just to try it. You need to go into Nook friends and then "lend me".

I have already compiled a list of titles to send.
DR ChasSmith, did I send you a copy of the film that this musical number is from?

B= Bombay, which is the center of the Hindi film industry in India (although Bombay is now called Mumbai).
This particular number, however, is from Kannada language film. I think Kannada films are called Sandalwood.
DR Cilla it just dawned on me.... I bet B & N sent me the email because the time had run out for you to respond to my request. Of course they didn't suggest I try again, only that I purchase the book.Well, they probably don't want to encourage people to keep asking if the person doesn't want to lend the book. Not sure why you wouldn't want to but...

Well, I'm off. Tonight is Theater Artists Olympia's monthly board meeting. One of our board members has to step down (personal reasons) and we'll have to decide what to do. I think someone has already volunteered to take over, so it may be okay.
Until later!
