I never had any desire to see Armageddon, but I always wonder why the Criterion Collection released it in a big box set.

"Armageddon" came out around the same time as "Deep Impact."  They're very similar stories...a huge meteor is on a collision course to Earth and we're all gonna die.  However, "DI" seem more realistic in its approach to the situation.  The characters are also much more introspective about the situation.  It's not all "let's blow up some stuff."  And "DI" has Morgan Freeman as the president.  You just can't beat that. :D

Shameless plug below:
Quote
The set and lighting are deceptively simple and effective. (No one is credited in the program for set design, but Tom Sanders is listed as set construction, and Sam Arsenault is credited for props—primarily a big ball, a hula hoop and a cleverly designed combination bench and storage cabinet.) The projected videos are captivating (Eklund did them and the sound design; and as director she has to be credited for the complex and excellent blocking). And since I've listed half the crew I should list the rest of the unsung heroes behind this production, all of whom deserve praise: Stage Manager Austin C. Lang; Lighting design Lang and Vanessa Postil; light and sound booth George Dougherty, who is seldom acknowledged for the critical job of running lights and sound for Theater Artists Olympia, Olympia Little Theatre, and Olympia Family Theatre; and Producer Allison Gerst, longtime costume designer for OLT.

:D

(except that I have really only run sound and not lights...but why quibble?)

LOL, you're right. I thought he was a Dem. See what I know

He even got 12 votes in Iowa.  I don't remember them reading his name.  We didn't have a real ballot, just a piece of paper you got when you signed in and after the speeches you wrote who you wanted to vote for and turned it in

News flash: Jim Gilmore has dropped out of the presidential race.

I don't even know who he is. :-\
He's a democrat that ran for a minute or two

Nope. He was a Republican.

I see that someone else or three have already said that.

And finally, the OBC of Glory Days (http://castalbums.org/recordings/Glory-Days-2009-Original-Broadway-Cast/17122).  This is another CD that I had never ordered before.  We'll see how it is.

It'll be interesting to read what you think of this and Andrew Jackson.

I just finished BBAJ and really enjoyed it.  Musically, it's similar to Joan Jett and The Blackhearts' version of "Love Is All Around (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4tkLy9AaD4)," the theme from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (which I love).  The score really is a short one, though.

Gilmore was a governor of Virginia who won the election with the promise of "no car tax."  He wanted to eliminate the personal property tax.  While it was reduced, it's still with us.
Title: Re: NOTES THAT WEREN'T ALL THAT

Fun fact: Virginia Governors cannot run for re-election so all our Governors are one term (4 years).

Thanks for all the vibes.  My mother's surgery went fine.  She will have a few followup visits in the next couple of weeks.

But that part is over, at least.



Great news, DR Jrand65!

Do you find that keeps them focused on the work ahead without thinking about re-election and campaigning?

I would think that two terms would be better. There has to be a learning curve in the beginning

Good morning, all.

I have been felled by allergies. Even the Benedryl failed to help.

Is that a thing to have allergies in the winter? I think it is too cold here for allergies.  I am not looking forward to the frigid temps expected. There is supposed to be a windchill of -31C. Yuck.

It's the cedar pollen, which is heavy in the winter. Ugly counts are in the 5,000 count area. Yesterday the count topped 30,000. I was not alone in my agony. TodAy was better.
