And the word of the day is: SYLVAN!

Welcome ten GUESTS.

Who ARE you people?

Make that eleven GUESTS.

Nobody here but us chickens.

LP transfer was successful in every way. Now I can do about ten others over the next few days.

Say what?

What am I, doing a monologue?

Well, I suppose I shall get my beauty sleep now.

Tuesday morning greetings! I'm here at work and just waiting to be called up for some information waitressing. Two people have already called in sick.
TOD -
March of the Penguins
Winged Migration
Babette's Feast
-
What great choices, DR Ginny!
I would add:
Witness
Lord of the Rings [a fictional world, but painstakingly rendered]
Titanic [not a great film, but again, the "world" is scrupulously rendered]
-
TOD:
(showing customs of a different world)
Paper Moon
Shakespeare in Love
Well, I found those exotic anyway
-
TOD: Would ZULU count? Two cultures at war, yet at the end the Zulu warriors pay tribute to the few surviving brits. My uncle was a missionary in Soth Africa, pre and during apartheid, and he spent many years in Zulu villages; I've always wanted to travel there. Also i recenlty was flipping thru Michael Caine's autobio and he mentioned that there was an incident on set when an Afrikaner foreman treated one of the black workers in the 'usual' way; He soon got the message that he'd better not do that again, but the uk crew was closely watched during the whole filming.

Good morning!
Very mild temperatures this morning which really surprised me, and it's warming into the 60s today, not something predicted a few days ago. I'm delighted. Looks like a very nice day in the making.
-
TOD:
A Criterion DVD I reviewed a few weeks ago - THE NAKED PREY directed and starring Cornel Wilde - certainly fits the topic. A very entertaining film.
I also really enjoyed the deluxe melodrama THE EDGE with Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin some years ago.
-
TV Reminder:
A new episode of HOUSE airs tonight.
I believe everything else is reruns. (Well, AMERICAN IDOL isn't, and ONE TREE HILL isn't, but I'm not watching those.)
-
It's supposed to be mild here today as well with temps almost around 50.
-
We have been watching the Noel Coward collection. A friend purchased the set and has loaned us the discs. Some of them are quite wonderful, even the Joan Collins Repertory productions of Tonight at 8:30. She can actually be good when she's not being "Joan Collins"
-
PAGE TOO TO TWO!
-
Today's mail will determine what I watch today. I'm just not ready to dive back into another TV box set (BEAUTY AND THE BEAST Season 3 is next).
On Disney Blu-ray I'm expecting CRIMSON TIDE and BECOMING JANE, both of which come out next week, but Disney is sometimes later than they need to be in getting review copies out.
If those don't in the mail today, I'll probably watch MARTIAN CHILD which came in yesterday. It doesn't get released until February 12th, but I can go ahead and get it out of the way.
-
T.O.D.
Today’s topic of discussion: What are your all-time favorite exotic films, films like The White Dawn or The Savage Innoncents – films of nature and other customs that you found interesting and that showed you a whole different culture you knew nothing about, yet also entertained?
THE OUT OF TOWNERS

Heading down now to check the mail and get lunch started.

Hi, Ben.
-
Tonight I will watch AMERICAN IDOL, although i'll probably start late so i can ff thru the really bad singers.
I guess BOSTON LEGAL is a repeat. I will record ONE TREE HILL (which i'm really liking this year) and probably watch last night's PROJECT RUNWAY (i think we're at the 3rd episode of this season).
-
I am home today. Stomach virus. And a bit of nausea.
-
Hi, Ron. Flat ginger ale.
-
TOD:
Among those films, I reckon I'll count:
"Fantastic Planet"
"Baghdad Cafe"
"La Strada"
-
Sorry to hear you're lacking your usual vim and vinegar today, DR Ron Pulliam. :(
-
Good morning, all! Another bugless night. This morning, I did a ton of laundry and then I stopped to pick up the Ster-Fab. This afternoon, I'll begin mopping the floors with it and hopefully kill off anything moping about.
I'm working on my letter to the landlord and the mass panic coming from apartments 3D and 3E about possible bugs is stressing everyone out. I got home yesterday to a phone call from Jaymie in 3E about calling the landlord for the exterminator to return, and bitching about the piano infesting the building (I swear the only person who saw bugs in the elevator was the lady in 3D since I didn't see any when I vacuumed the elevator immediately after her claims). This morning the man in 2D told me the lady from 3D was down yesterday yelling about him not letting the exterminator in because the poison would kill her cats and he was pissed that I'd told her he had a sofa infested with bedbugs. It's another witch hunt, I tell you.
-
Last night I finished watching THE PICKWICK PAPERS, which was a wonderful BBC production filled with 3 hours of silliness and good humor leading to a very emotional and sobering stay in the Fleet Prison before everything reached its happy conclusion. i've never read the novel, but I thoroughly enjoyed the production and a wonderful cast.
-
Hi, Ron. Flat ginger ale.
I ain't got no flat ginger ale.
Will peppermint tea help?
-
Sorry to hear you're lacking your usual vim and vinegar today, DR Ron Pulliam. :(
Sorry to read that your hearing is going bad, DR strumclaw.
It's my stomach, not my mind!

But thanks. I'll have a little peppermint tea with your sympathy.

As to the topic o' the day - certainly The River and Black Narcissus fit the bill.

I'm almost de-groggified, and I'm sure the work session will begin sometime in the next forty-five minutes, although I haven't heard anything since booking the day.

Topic of the Day: Baraka (http://www.amazon.com/Baraka-Ron-Fricke/dp/B00005M91K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1201627990&sr=1-1) and Koyaanisqatsi (http://www.amazon.com/Koyaanisqatsi-Life-Balance-Godfrey-Reggio/dp/B000068OCS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1201628697&sr=1-1).
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
The first one that pops into my head is that "Grand Canyon" short that Walt Disney released. It's the one that uses Ferde Grofé's "Grand Canyon Suite". When I was in grade school, we watched this every year, and it always fascinated me. And since I have yet to see the Grand Canyon up close, it's still "another world" to me.
-
Time to go to work. Have a good day, all! :)
-
Does he sing IF I RULED THE WORLD?
He does not, but given all the plots going on in the BBC adaptation, the musical version must have been greatly simplified to add a lot of music to a 2.5 hour show!
-

I just put this on our NetFlix queue.
We never finished watching MANSFIELD PARK last night. The quality of the film began to deteriorate & become progressively worse until we finally turned it off. I can’t say I was disappointed. I found the speed of which the plot progressed even more frenzied than PERSUASIAN & less tolerable.
Fanny Price cannot be an easy character to capture on film while maintaining her position as the heroine. Has this been accomplished & any recommendations on which version to watch?

So this African-American gospel group that we sang with at services this past Sunday was selling CDs, and I bought some.
I put the first one into my car's CD player on my way to work this morning. This particular recording contains a very prominent, very enthusiastic tenor as a member of the ensemble who is unfortunately about a half-step flat. Consistently.
Oh, my ears! :P

Hey, I have an idea: Let's introduce DR TCB's bacteria to DR elmore3003's bedbugs.

The thing is, if you TRY to do this intentionally, it's very hard! We used to amuse ourselves in college by trying to sing duets of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" in minor seconds - how long can you stay on track?!
-
You weren't a typical college boy, were you?

Today I had to go to the bank to hear about interest rates. I felt like the little kids in the Charlie Brown series. "Blah blah blah..."

Today I had to go to the bank to hear about interest rates.

I suppose you all think it's funny, don't you? Well, my broken heart is due to you--this website, devoted to me, has only very rarely brought me up at all. Luckily rehab has internet access, so I'll be watching--hopefully you can all make it up to me.

Glad to hear the good report. This collection has been in my netflix queue for a while (along with QUITE a few other things!).
Thanks, Ben.
-
I always thought Joan Collins was/is a lot better than most give her credit for.
She can be effective in certain things, but she was WAY out of her depth in THE VIRGIN QUEEN. Everyone acted circles around her, and she was a most unconvincing Elizabethan.

Little Sir Echo how do you do?

And she's very bitchy/vampy as Crystal Allen in THE OPPOSITE SEX. That's the kind of role she was made to play.
-
I've never read THE PICKWICK PAPERS either. One of those books I've wanted to read for decades and never found the time to get through it.
-
Hope you feel better, DR Ron Pulliam.

I suppose that many of the Bollywood films which the errant and truant DR MBarnum and I watch frequently would be considered exotic enough for the TOD.

Since the Disney Blu-rays were not forthcoming, I watched MARTIAN CHILD this afternoon. It's a lovely family film with John Cusak playing a widower who adopts a very unusual child (bright but emotionally damaged) who truly believes he's a Martian. A fairly stock ending, but otherwise, it doesn't take the easy road to audience acceptance, and I really enjoyed it. Teared up a couple of times during the movie. Some good payoffs in the writing.
-
There are a nice selection of bonus features on the disc, and I began with the deleted/extended scenes. There are 14 of them, none truly necessary to the film (wisely cut), but all gave a little added perspective to the characters so I'm glad they're on the disc.
-
There's an audio commentary and a couple of behind-the-scenes featurettes which I'll go through when I go back down.
-
I concluded my afternoon of viewing with today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nada of interest to me. Nothing in the previews either.
-
Hmm... Just flipping channels... And I came across "Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee" on the Food Network. She was "inspired" by a trip to an Army Surplus store to come up with a Safari-themed dinner. Complete with decorations and a table-scape. And some sort of "costume" which continues to baffle me... which is the only reason I'm still watching. :-\

...And she keeps a roll of duct tape in her kitchen, apparently... ???

Almost finished with On The Town, then shall have to skeedaddle.

Whew! I think when I finish the three pages when I get back, I'll do a few more this evening instead of watching a DVD.

BK, ye of all recorded (literally) knowledge--do you know if there's any diff between the just announced SAE/Intrada "Mary, Queen of Scots" and the Artemis import (that also had the Delerue side of the "Anne of the 1000 Days" soundtrack LP) from years ago? Their PR says it's the CD premiere of the score, which the CD already in my hand seems to belie. Inquiring minds....

We had the meeting at the aquarium today for Safe Kids. I had never been inside of it before---I had only been outside to buy tickets for various friends and family as presents. We only had access to two huge tanks but it was delightful. The big tank had lots of sharks, including whale sharks, along with skates, rays, etc.
The tank in the hall where the ceremony and breakfast was held had several beluga whales. (2 belugas had died soon after the place opened.)
The video was a big hit---lots of tearful and happy people!

TCB - We've asked the theater to move the start date of rehearsals into May to accommodate the schedules of a couple of people we want to work with for the presentations. They'll let us know if they can do that within the next few days.

This may very well be one of the funniest commercials that you won't ever see on network TV.

Dakota, I'm going to appreciate our 34 degrees from now on. I also think the cold is affecting you, I'm not in the photo with Sherlock. I believe you have mistaken me for a snow covered post
However, this was taken today on our walk along the irrigation ditch.
-
Thanks Cilla, only I changed the photo.
-
what time will you deliver?
Well, the plan for tomorrow is to make a media noche for lunch with the leftover roast pork. And since I do have enough roast pork for a couple of those sandwiches... Which LIRR train will I have to take? ;)

The cookies don't get to me untilthe 1st week of March so you can send a check to me whenever is convenient . I'll pay the troop for them when I get them and send them on to you!!
OR if you want the tax deduction (I assume part of it is tax deductible but you of course would know best) you can write your check directly to Girl Scouts of Suffolk County and just be sure I have it by March 1

I've seen that one...it's cute. I actually got a bigger kick out of the farting squirrel!

But seriously, Jose - any interest in joining me tomorrow evening to see NEXT TO NORMAL at Second Stage?
Ooohh... I'm interested, but I already have plans for tomorrow night. I think. A friend of mine is coming in from L.A. tomorrow afternoon, and we're planning on meeting for dinner. If his flight gets in on time, I would be able to make the show, but if his flight gets in late... -He's working the rest of the week, so tomorrow night is the only chance we'll get to see each other, so... I'm gonna have to pass this time. But, as always, thanks for keeping me in mind.
-
If I serve the cookies at the tax office, then it's a "meals and entertainment" deduction. I guess. :)
-
"Ronkonkoma branch Ben"? Is that a person?
Dang punctuation marks!
Of course that sentenc should have read:
Ronkonkoma Branch; Ben will show you the way!
Now you prbly wnt me to strt typingwrite
-
"Ronkonkoma branch Ben"? Is that a person?
No. But "Ronkonkoma Ben-Branch" is.
;D

Jose, BTW, which night(s) are you seeing APPLAUSE? And any buzz you can talk about?

I hear it's what we're living for

Well a portion of each sale goes to the Girl Scout Troops so that part would be a charitable donation wouldn't it?

But, honest, Mr. I.R.S. Audit Man - Fred told me it was OK!

You've had a taste of, that sound we call love
-
Hey, how can you taste a sound?

Thank you for thinking of me, Ginny. I love independent bookstores. BK and Jane will probably remember an old haunt of mine, Papa Bach.
Right now I'm enjoying Maeve Binchy--one of your recommendations. (not mystery)
I rarely purchased books when I was younger, mostly used the library. Where was Papa Bach.

The only night I can see it is the final dress rehearsal (which reminds me, I need to put my request in for tickets). As for buzz, I don't really have any. As it turned out, due to some over-staffing, I'm not working on next week's presentation. So, since I'm not in the "room"... However, I have been at the casting office, so... ;)

I walked to the beach today. My legs are starting to protest. We're only a few blocks away, but the hills make it seem like more. I rolled up my jeans & let the waves play catch & release with my ankles. I took some pictures of some sandpipers w/ my camera phone, but I doubt they'll look good at all.
-

I sent a couple of the photos to his breeder & she lamented his blue eye & that he is turning out to be the pick of the litter. She did think he would, way back when-before his eye didn't turn brown. Lucky us. :)

Thank you DR’s for the compliments regarding our sweet boy. We took so many great pics of him the last two days it was difficult to choose which ones to post. Hmmm…it’s still January, I can scattered them throughout the winter. ;)
-
DR Jose, my bacon loving friend didn't accompany her husband to the aquarium today. (We were in the thanks section of the program and the head of Safe Kids also thanked Matt and his "team". We got a big laugh out of that, and thereafter he referred to me as "team". "Hey, team, want some more coffee?" etc...
So my DH and I sampled it, and it is quite interesting. Not something I would buy on a regular basis, but it's certainly fun to try it and share with others!
Wish we could have stayed a few more days and invaded your kitchen tonight!

You're welcome, DR Jeanne. I've been catching up on one of my work tasks - reading book review journals - and have found a lot of new things for me to read, too. Have you read Susan Wittig Albert's China Bayles Herbal Mysteries (http://www.abouthyme.com)?
I couldn’t open anything here. This (http://www.mysterypartners.com/China/main.html) worked better.

Well, Giuliani is out of the race. He didn't actually say it but his speech was all in the past tense and now the news shows are confirming that tomorrow he will endorse John McCain

No. But "Ronkonkoma Ben-Branch" is.

He could also be named Branch ben Ronkonkoma. Hmmmm...sounds like a porn star name.

I suppose you all think it's funny, don't you? Well, my broken heart is due to you--this website, devoted to me, has only very rarely brought me up at all. Luckily rehab has internet access, so I'll be watching--hopefully you can all make it up to me.

I had a full evening of viewing tonight.
I began by watching all of the bonus features on the MARTIAN CHILD DVD and listening to the audio commentary. Commentary had four participants, but it was OK. Both behind-the-scene featurettes were very well done. The first was about the child playing the child in the film. Got to meet his stage parents who seem to have their heads about them and their feet planted firmly on the ground.
The second feature was the real-life author who wrote the original short novel and who adopted a foster child himself who was also on camera, the film a semi-autobiographical account of his own life. They were a wonderful father-son combination.
BTW, this writer penned the original "Trouble With Tribbles" STAR TREK episode.
-
Next, I watched tonight's NCIS. An OK case with some surprises included. I see Zeeva is still jealous when Tony looks at a pretty girl.
-
HOUSE had a interesting case, but I have to admit I've grown very tired of all the mind games with the team. It's so tiresome now with everyone guessing and second-guessing one another.
And they still haven't figured out a way to use Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer within the new mix of cast members. They're just going to waste.
-
At 10, I decided to take a laserdisc out and watch it. I chose ERASER (which I have never gotten on DVD). I watched the first hour of the film. Outrageous and totally over-the-top action film, but Vanessa Williams is certainly pretty, and John Slattery's hair hasn't gone totally gray yet.
I'll watch the second hour of it tomorrow as I cook and eat lunch.
-
Well, I need to finish up some writing, and then I'll be heading down to bed.
Good night!

But I hardly know him!

BK, ye of all recorded (literally) knowledge--do you know if there's any diff between the just announced SAE/Intrada "Mary, Queen of Scots" and the Artemis import (that also had the Delerue side of the "Anne of the 1000 Days" soundtrack LP) from years ago? Their PR says it's the CD premiere of the score, which the CD already in my hand seems to belie. Inquiring minds....
The Artemis is basically a bootlet - legal in Europe because of their copyright laws, but taken off vinyl. The new release will be right off the album masters and will be much better.
-
I ended up writing a little over eight pages so I could finish the chapter I was on - I don't like to leave muse Margaret in the middle of a chapter.
-
I had some soup.

I am trying not to have a headache.

Welcome nine GUESTS.

Well, instead of continuing to sit here like so much fish, I am going to log off, and get ready for bed. Me sleepy.
Goodnight.

I'm quite pooped myself, but I'll be up for another two-and-a-half hours. I'm waiting until eleven to print out pages, just to make sure I'm happy - or I even may wait until morning. I'm finishing up another LP transfer (Claus Ogerman's instrumental version of Zorba coupled with Teddy Wilson's Gypsy In Jazz.

You should have gone for using "glower" which rhymes with "hour."
That's -15 points for bad rhyming. Maybe the greats CAN get away with it, but they don't post here!

I watched "The Biggest Loser" tonight....some big shakeups in the "couples" format with all individual teams being split into a blue or black team. Bob won a challenge against Gillian and got to pick his three couples first. He took the three teams that have lost the most weight, and he forsook a team that he had been training since the first day. They were very hurt.
Still, it's a game and they got Gillian and she's nothing to sneeze at as trainers go...she just makes folks work harder, and that's what all the people she got need to do.

I think it's time for bed.
But before I go....TomovOz, our local PBS station (KQED) aired a beautiful episode of "Nature" (in high definition) Sunday evening called "The Colorful Parrots of Oz". It was a co-production of KNET New York with the Australian Broadcasting System.
It's rather recent (2006, I think), and it was narrated by F. Murray Abraham. The show covered the continent and offered spectacular footage of the varieties of parrots, their distinctive colorings, diets, mating rituals, etc., in different parts of Australia. Part of the proceedings showed what happened in the channel region (district?) after the seasonal rains fall and tens of thousands of parrots frantically begin their breeding along the banks of channels that are filled with water after the rains.
What was particularly fun was that thanks to you and Colin, I was familiar with many of the names of the varieties of parrots I saw.
What a paradise Australia is.

One of my very favorite spots to visit.
I am always amazed by how far advanced Roman engineering had progressed - municipal water supplies, indoor plumbing, heated baths...
The Greeks were such great thinkers, but the Romans were the doers!
Just think - brain surgury in ancient Egypt, a working steam engine in Alexander's court, accurate measurements of the circumference of the earth and the distance to the moon - then war and turmoil - and a thousand years of Dark Ages until man began to regain the learning!
