Today is the day of my brother in law's memorial.... I will be doing The Rose in sign language. There will be a candle ceremony, and a Native American fire. My friend Adam will play the flute while people write messages to Mike and put them in the fire....it will be very nice.....
Good morning. I am cleaning out a closet today.
PAGE TWO VIBES!
Just finished the laundry.Yes, Ben, one of the stupidities of living in my state. Another would be that our senators voted against disaster relief for victims of the natural disaster, Hurricane Sandy, but are begging for relief for the people affected by the West fertilizer plant disaster, which was manmade and could have been avoided if the state weren't so lax on businesses operating with who knows how many code violations.
Anthony is on the mend but still sniffling and coughing. I had breakfast at Pret a Manger, yogurt with julienne sliced apples, cinnamon, raisins and a sprinkling of granola. I also had a cup of coffee. They have oatmeal at Pret but I went for the yogurt.
I'll be off to the library at 10 to return Torch Song (OMG, Joan in Blackface, what a jaw-dropping segment) and a documentary on the history of the vibrator. We saw excerpts when we watched Hysteria last week and wanted to see the entire documentary. It's AMAZING that in Texas and, I think, 3 other Southern states, it is illegal, punishable by fines and jail time, to sell vibrators!!! As one of the lawyers says, you can buy and sell Viagra with ease but vibrators, nope!!

And the word of the day is: ADDLE!
Today is the day of my brother in law's memorial.... I will be doing The Rose in sign language. There will be a candle ceremony, and a Native American fire. My friend Adam will play the flute while people write messages to Mike and put them in the fire....it will be very nice.....Vibes of comfort.
Seriously, is dear reader George on vacation or something? Very unlike him.
It's a very nice day in Manhattan. I've been in and out and now I'm having a salad with romaine lettuce, cubed chicken, baby carrots, grape tomatoes and cranberries with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. After that settles I will ride the indoor bike for about 45 minutes.
DR JRand, best wishes for the memorial service. It sounds like it will be a very nice one.

Went to the eye doctor. New spectacles are on their way.
I finished the closet. So now I am cleaning out another closet.
Wild Animal Attacks Ben!Benjamin Franklin Forsyth has been to the vet and was pronounced fine. He must have had some scratches becasue the vet was a little worried about infection but Adam said that's about it
I'm glad it wasn't me and I'm glad Benny the Cat is OK!
I finished the closet. So now I am cleaning out another closet.
You get so much done. But what do you do with all that extra space? Don't you have to buy more stuff to put there?
went to IHOP for breakfast

HYSTERIA was my favorite movie of last year. I laughed a lot. My beloved Kim Criswell os one of the best things in it.

I put a paper clip in my pocket in case my MP3 player locks up, I can reset it....
I love a nice spectacle. Something run of de Mille, perhaps
I'd been asked a while back by an indie filmmaker who's a regular All that Chat reader and has been following the exploits about City Center and 92nd Street Y on my blog, and he's been asking about doing a very small film based on my whole DataLounge and All that Chat cases. I officially gave him the Ok to do it, and he says he'll use as many of my music tracks as he can but I won't hold him to that. Clearly, i won't see money from an independent film by an unknown unless it's a hit, but this will be great to have the story out there, and I like what he's shown me of his work.
(i was going to do a book, maybe combined with a parody lyric collection of stuff written while it was going on, but this doesn't keep me from doing that anyway.)
Time to get ready to go out. No rest for another week of Fiesta. This is going to get long.

Vibes this turns out well and you're very pleased!

It'll just be fun to have the story out in some form, even if it is fictionalized. maybe it'll be even more fun because no one can claim libel or slander when the names are changed and it's "based on a true story" rather than meant to be the true story.
DR John G, I could not do your job. Of course, there are many jobs I could not do. But I wouldn't want to even try to be a food critic.
Back from West Side Story and dinner. This is the first dinner I've had for two months that I would consider large, but I still think I'm okay with the jog I did. I had pasta with blackened chicken in a light pink sauce - they assured me that most of the pink was marinara with only a touch of cream. A touch of cream isn't going to hurt anyone, calorie-wise and I think the pasta itself was around five ounces and that's not too bad,
That's about right.Time to get ready to go out. No rest for another week of Fiesta. This is going to get long.
Is that like no siesta for Fiesta

It would be more fun to be a food or theatre columnist where you write about it AND GET IN FREE but don;t have to critique it, so you don;t have people upset at you. :)But where would the work be?
Got a tip that yet another FYE store is closing (they've been closing for years!), and sadly, it's the one that has been absolutely the best for me when it comes to finding great secondhand (sometimes firsthand) copies of things like out-of-print Criterions, at prices usually better than online. So I schlepped down there (to Port Chester, NY, near Rye) for my last visit, and at least came home with a dozen nice finds. The last finds. The store is already half emptied out.I hate hearing stories like this. All the good stores seem to be going.

Tonight the Vixfamily went to Jurassic Park 3D- we just realized the movie came out the year she was born so of course she had never seen it on the big screen
It was quite fun
then I get to bring the communion linens home to launder and iron
And I have to leave first thing in the morning to go visit my parents. Dad has a bad cold so I'm just going to their house. Mom and Dad are skipping church because the are in the choir and the choir doesn't sing, so they figure they don't have to go lol
