Well, you've read the notes, the notes attacked the attack of the Junebugs, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently being attacked by the Junebugs.

And the word of the day is: PENUMBRA!

Mary's just about to close up the library! :o

Crap...I couldn't select a different input while recording (even paused), so I switched the wires from the VCR to the DVR. While the video taped version has gray bars on the sides because of my widescreen TV, the rest of the picture fills the screen:

-
The black-and-white version that I recorded on TV is in hi-def and the picture is window-boxed:
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff302/HHWgroup/windowbox.jpg)
This has black bars all around the picture. The two different versions don't match. :P
-
Something is amiss with the hi-def image. I have the Blu-Ray - there should only be bars on the sides.

Something is amiss with the hi-def image. I have the Blu-Ray - there should only be bars on the sides.
When I play it directly to my TV, everything is fine, but I'm recording it to my standard-def DVD burner. That takes the entire widescreen image and fits it into a 4:3 size.
-
I didn't think about that when I recorded the show from TV. If I'd recorded the standard-def TV broadcast or if I had a black-and-white videotape, it would fill the screen when I recorded the show to my DVD burner.
-
Back from various and sundried errands and whatnot - with more to come, and lunch, too. I delivered all the Promises materials to the designer, added a few things to the liner notes, cut a few things, and those are now done and sent.
I am really looking forward to that release!
DITTO!! ;D

Good morning! Not sure why I'm awake so early today, but I am.
-
Morning all.
-
and a good morning to everyone.
It's a working day for me, but that will change very soon
-
I really enjoyed BURN AFTER READING. No classic, but a lot of quirky fun.
-
Except for the music, which was terrific, I thought that MAMMY was a bore.
Almost every important event takes place off-screen
Even Michael Curtiz couldn't save that script.
-
My wife and I watched CAMELOT last night, the movie with Richard Harris and Vanessa Redgrave.
Wonderful Lerner/Lowe score, but the movie is a mess.
Joshua Logan may have been a magnificent stage director, but God did not intend for him be a movie director.
-
One of my favorite scenes in the movie, "CAMELOT" is "How to Handle A Woman." Richard Harris sings the entire song with a big old Band-Aid on the side of his neck. I know they didn't have Band-Aids then, so I figured it must have been of some of Merlin's doing.
-
I enjoy CAMELOT - except when everyone mentions how "beautiful" Guenevere is - and Vanessa is really sort of plain....like all of the Walton girls....and I can't understand everything Franco Nero says....kind of like Genevieve Page iin YOUNGBLOOD HAWKE....but it is nice to look at, and the score is wonderful!
-
Attack of the June Bugs sounds like a BIG movie.....with music by Albert Glasser, of course.
I am looking forward to the arrival of BOY & THE PIRATES with the Puppet Suite!
Thanks for the DDD code, DR JMK. As DR JMK posted yesterday 25MORE as a code will get you 25% off MANY things at the DDD site.

Yes indeed, I shall see Ibsen's GHOSTS today......well Ibsen's play GHOSTS..... Many of those involved in this production at Buck Creek Players (where we saw BRAINEX Indiana style with MR BK and DR CP and EVIL KURT) - were also involved with the first production of the play what I wrote MY HAND IS NOT MY HEART at the Phoenix Theatre.....25 years ago this very summer!
I haven't seen many of them in a long time, so it will be lovely to see them again.....I think.
-
Heard about some bad tornadoes in Ohio. Hope Dear Ginny and Richard (and affiliated family) are OK.
-
We had LOUD thunder around here and of course rain.....but the tornadoes, I think we a bit north of all Midwest HHW'ers....we shall see.

It's about syphilis, ya know!
I only mention this because I saw the play several years ago with Amy Irving as the older lady (Mrs Alving? Is that her name?), and the mention of syphilis is so oblique that if I hadn't known it going in, I wouldn't know it to this day. I have to say, I've always thought Ibsen, unlike Chekhov, needed a play doctor.
Good morning, all! Today I am finishing the last number from THE ROSE OF ALGERIA, and I have some work to do on the Main Editorial Report for BABES IN TOYLAND. Just when you think it's safe to go back into the ocean . . .
I have no other plans today beyond accomplishing these two things. I will sit here in the AC and listen to some wonderful things. Exactly what has yet to be determined. Maybe even a Wagner opera, like LOHENGRIN or TANNHAUSER. I can listen with enjoyment to a 4-hour opera, I just can't stand to sit through a performance. I still haven't figured it out, but, to me, 4 hours of Wagner or Richard Strauss in the opera house is like 4000 hours of hell, but 3 to 4 hours of Mozart or Bizet is like 4 minutes of true pleasure.
Maybe it's the fact that nothng happens onstage in Wagner and Strauss: they bellow for fifteen minutes and someone moves, then another bellows for twenty minutes and someone slugs him, then the slugger bellows for ten minutes and nothing still happens.
Tristan gave his heart to Isolde in song
I blush
Oh, dear, but the song was six hours long
I blush
What they did was wrong without a doubt
If it took so long to sing about
But the thought can make my lily cheek to flush
I blush
Oh, dear, how they yodeled of love and death
I blush
They died, not from love but from lack of breath!
-
And the word of the day is: PENUMBRA!
And The Song Of The Day Is: TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART
-
I sort of knew that, DR ELMORE.....but thanks for reminding me.
-
I too enjoyed Burn After Reading; minor Cohen, but amusing.
I also think Camelot is a mess and much of it (maybe all of it) simply miscast.
-
I have a soft spot for CAMELOT, but I do laugh at that tracking shot in the "forest" when Arthur and Guinevere meet and the camera suddenly jerks as if it's run over a cable. Whoops!
-
Good morning!
Did anyone see the report on CBS Sunday Morning about Snowball, the dancing cockatoo? Amazing!
-
I mentioned this years ago on RATM (does anyone still RATM?--well, probably one person does, LOL) when someone said how much the Intel musical "logo" sounded like "I had a dream" from GYPSY. The musical "logo" of Windows is the opening three notes of GUINEVERE from CAMELOT.
-
The board would not let me post for a few minutes--I kept clicking the post button and nothing happened. Could this explain the low posting numbers?
-
It is our annual Music Sunday at the Church I MD for, so I must be off for soundchecks galore.
-
Good morning. There are kittens running all over in here.
-
Ah I found the flyer logo for my play! ;D
-
"People think they know who I am just because they listen to me play. My hand is not my heart to tell my feelings to strangers."
-
Rather than a play, it should have probably been a Joan Crawford movie.
-
So sad to be all alone in the world.

So sad to be all alone in the world.
Ya got me, kiddo!

Oh...well then.....go get me a drink.
-
This afternoon is our final play in this year's season at the local theater. And once again I am sure I will endure the Theater Seat Bully trying to make me change seats.
-
Maybe they won't attend, DR LAURA.
Or maybe you could mention it to the usher - and certainly if you are getting subscriptions again, write a note when you mail your check.
They can't be more important than you.
-
My DVD is burning.....I checked once and it said less than 2 minutes.
I went back just now and it said less than 4 minutes.
Maybe the burner wanted to see one of the scenes again.
-
Oh...well then.....go get me a drink.
I'd rather do that than peel a grape.
-

DR Laura, don't be such a wimp. Tell the asses to shut the hell up or go see an usher and have the pigs moved to a trough. I think I'm mixing metaphors in calling a spade a spade.
-
Then peel me a grape.
I will return after GHOSTS....the SYPHILIS play.
Didn't Cloris Leachman play Syphilis on television?
-
I haven't been a wimp. I have declined to change seats and will continue to do so.
When I renewed my tickets, I spoke with the box office manager and she assured me my season tickets won't be changed.
-
I'm up (barely) and shall now await the helper - we didn't really set a time although usually it's ten - I suspect eleven.
-
My very young neighbor in the monstrosity $1.5 million house next door was out in his yard yakking loudly until almost two-thirty in the morning, at which point I put a stop to it rather loudly.
-
We are always doing "our favorite this" or "our favorte that"; so today why not try something else?
What is the absolute worst film that ever starred Paul Newman? (No fair saying SILVER CHALICE, just because he always said that it was his worst film)
OR
What film does the world consider to be an all-time classic; that you secretly have always hated?
Well, that is two choices.
-
I really enjoyed BURN AFTER READING. No classic, but a lot of quirky fun.
I mentioned watching BURN AFTER READING last weekend. I enjoyed watching it, but it was very much like watching a car wreck!
-
Just heard from the helper - I think she'll be here in about twenty to thirty minutes.
-
I enjoy CAMELOT - except when everyone mentions how "beautiful" Guenevere is - and Vanessa is really sort of plain....like all of the Walton girls....and I can't understand everything Franco Nero says....kind of like Genevieve Page iin YOUNGBLOOD HAWKE....but it is nice to look at, and the score is wonderful!
I love the film, CAMELOT. I think the stage musical is a mess; and a very very very (that is three verys) long mess.
-

I love you dearly, but you are being a wimp if you let these fools continue to bother you. Declining to change seats is one part of the issue, but you clearly are letting your worries over these fools being ugly that you should insist on their being removed from the picture. Have them moved, thrown out, put to death.

What are you seeing today, Laura (other than the Theater Bully)?

It sure is! Even as a kid I knew it when I saw the national tour in Cincinnati in 1964 or 65. It was great to look at and completely sexless for a musical about adultery. Lerner tried to fix the show with the London version and some of that rewrite is in the film, along with the same designer. I just gave a friend the program from the Toronto tryout, and now I want to hear the two big cut numbers, "The Quests," which happened before Lancelot's knighting and involved several knights and a lot of other folk, and Guinevere's "Face To Face," which followed and appears to be in the same spot as "Before I Gaze At You Again," which is not yet in the show.
I need a new CD player. Damn.
-
Back from a three-mile jog. Helper asked if we could do tomorrow instead of today - luckily the morning is free, but this is going to stop as of tomorrow. She cancelled Friday, assured me it would be today. But this morning she informed me she'd been up till four in the morning playing, and was not feeling well. I need just a bit more responsibility than that - if you know you're working at ten, don't play until four.
-
And that was the first post in ninety minutes? Okay.
-
Ask me if I care. I don't. If it's two pages then it's two pages. If it's one page it's one page.
-
I've finished all of my work at the apartment and I have the rest of the day to myself! I haven't decided if I should watch a DVD, run out to see SATC 2, or listen to something with a vocal or full score. Options!
-
It is raining out again!
-
And for some reason (maybe because of the rain) everybody and their brother decided to go to Costco. The parking lot was jammed. But interestingly there was almost nobody in line at the cash.
-
DR Laura hope you have having some luck at your play. I hope your annoying neighbors don't bug you too much.
I also would not stand for this.
-
I have two movies to watch. But not sure if i will do so today or tonight or tomorrow.
One is The Young Victoria. The other is Bright Star.
-
I also have 80 pages left of the book I am reading. And then my sister lent me The Carrie Diaries. So i will read that next.
-
DR Jane, i just found the most interesting tv related column at tvguide.ca. You can ask questions re: tv programming in canada. And since it is quite difficult to find out information (about when certain shows are airing). I think it is easier for her to find out.
She was the one who said Royal Pains was supposed to start here last friday. But it was not on the schedule. And their website only updates things per week. So she contacted them. And they said that season 2 will air they are just not sure exactly when (it will be this summer).
-
SATC 2 it is! I got my senior citizen ticket and i'll walk one block to the movie. It starts in 28 minutes.
-
But there are other US shows that are on networks that we don't get in Canada. Like Hawthorne. White Collar. Saving Grace. Top Chef. It would be nice if each channel (in canada) would update the shows on their website. But they don't until they are actually on the air. So maybe this girl (amber) will have more luck than me!
-
SATC 2 it is! I got my senior citizen ticket and i'll walk one block to the movie. It starts in 28 minutes.
I hope you like it. My sis is going to try to go this tuesday. She saw the first movie and watched the series. She is going with her friend, and i'm not sure if she watched the series. I think certain things won't have the same impact if you didn't see the series.
-
I'm curious how many minutes of previews you guys have before movies.
Here they show commercials. Then previews. Then the movie.
But when i went to SATC2 the movie did not come on for 20 minutes. Who wants to sit thru 20 minutes of commercials and then previews.
I am good for 3 previews. But I hate to have to sit for 20 minutes. I'd rather they played the commercials BEFORE the start time.
-
The sun has gone into hiding here.
-
Good afternoon!!
I went to the office and cleaned off my desk! Woo and Hoo. I haven't had it this clean and organized since I started being distracted in March or April or whenever it was
-
Good grief! Where is everyone? You would think this is a Sunday.
-
Cilla, it looks like it is you and me again.
-
I noticed yesterday that the calendar in my kitchen was still on April. Oh good grief! Have I really been that busy/distracted? Glad that's over
-
Well, you are wonderful company TCB~
-
I really should go pretty soon. I don't fit in last summer's skinny clothes and my favorite store is having a big sale that ends today
-
But I don't want to run off and leave you TCB. We could take us to page four!
-
I'm watching my recording of CBS Sunday Morning. In addition to the cockatoo story they did a story on American Idiot and Green Day
-
Has anyone seen American Idiot? Did you like it?
-
I hate to try on clothes when I've gained weight. It's just not fun
-
It is a beautiful day here
-
Ten more posts to page 4
-
I spy JMK
-
I spy TCB
-
I like the movie Camelot better than seeing it on stage
-
I spy 1 guest....if you are one of the people who left us...please come back!!
-
I'm thinking I should look into solar energy....
-
Wow, they just said the amount of oil that has spilled to date is about the same amount the US uses in an hour...

Ok a couple more should do it

Almost there

I have mentioned this before (what else is new?), but I grew up with and went to school with Robert Peterson's son. Peterson was Goulet's understudy during the entire run of CAMELOT and actually played more performances than Goulet. He later played Arthur at Pioneer Memorial Theater in SLC when I was a kid. That was my first time seeing the stage musical. I thought Act I would never end. :) IIRC, Act I ran for almost 2 hours, and Act II was another 90 minutes. Tooooo long, IMHO.

Thank you, Cilla, I snuck away for a few.

Very true, JMK. Even with quality actors the show just goes on and on. And sitting thru community theater performances of CAMELOT can be a complete nightmare.

I never answered my own T.O.D. topics.
Worst Paul Newman film of all-time - RALLY ROUND THE FLAG, BOYS
The film that everyone loves and that I hate - (not much of a secret) GONE WITH THE WIND
-
I need to go watch the Mariners and hope for a miracle win!
-
I think I'm quite hungry now. I shall get in the motor car and traverse the neighborhood and go wherever my taste buds tell me to go - it may be a restaurant or it may be Gelson's. Or it may be a fast food jernt to bring something home.
-
Sunday afternoon greetings!
Heard about some bad tornadoes in Ohio. Hope Dear Ginny and Richard (and affiliated family) are OK.
Yes, DR Ben, we're fine - thanks for asking. Last night's storms, as DR JRand mentioned, were up north. The Lima folks said they had watches and warnings and DS Rob called from Michigan to say that they'd had tornado warnings but were OK. Hope it didn't put too much of a damper on the graduation party. We expect him home this evening, so guess we'll hear all about it.
-
We are always doing "our favorite this" or "our favorte that"; so today why not try something else?
What film does the world consider to be an all-time classic; that you secretly have always hated?
An American in Paris.
Rocky.
Forrest Gump.
Matt H. is no longer here so I can say this (although I know other people on this board love the movie as well)
Lord of the Rings.
I don't know enough Paul Newman films to say which one is the worst. I've seen Paul Newman films just not a lot of them
-
GHOSTS....whew!
Nice set and lighting and costumes.....the script is....well Ibsen.....well done. I liked it.....paced well for the most part and some good performances....all except one.....so.....it was interesting to see.
-
RALLY ROUND THE FLAG. BOYS! was one of my favorite Max Shulman books.....and the movie....well Joanne Woodward doing comedy is painful to see sometimes......
I would still love to see a movie version of Shulman's ANYBODY GOT A MATCH? a satire of advertising, television, government, and smoking.
-
I started watching FUNNY GIRL on TCM and decided I would rather watch HELLO, DOLLY and then realized it's down at the theatre in the lobby display.....so no HELLO DOLLY for me tonight.
-
Watching Funny Girl on TCM. So neat---my friend (who takes pictures of locations where Streisand movies were filmed) and I were recently at the old train station in New Jersey where the lead-up to " Don't Rain on My Parade" takes place.
-
I liked a lot of SATC 2, although three plot points in the Middle East really bothered me for being out of character and a lot of nonsense that could have been cut. I do think that DR MBarnum should see it for his paper on the influence of Bollywood on the American film, since this is the first movie I've seen that reminded me again and agan of a Bollywood comedy, from the length to the production numbers.
-
Back from a sandwich and fries - just didn't feel like driving aimlessly to find something new - Hugo's had a wait (at two-thirty) so I just moseyed on over to Jerry's Deli, where they take care of me really well.
-

I am good for 3 previews. But I hate to have to sit for 20 minutes. I'd rather they played the commercials BEFORE the start time.
It has been awhile since I've gone to a movie. Can't swear to it, but it sure felt like twenty minutes of commercials and previews before the movie began. :(

I hope this will be more helpful for you in the future. I must of missed something, you didn't get Royal Pains at all? I thought you simply hadn't watched it yet.
-
No problems at the theater today. We didn't engage. Although she talked about us to her friend.
-
LOL-No talking over your bodies & threatening you? When you asked if your seats will be the same next season did you find out if theirs will be different?
-
Sherlock has been bathed, the 2nd load of towels are in the wash, and the shower has been scrubbed. I can't think of another place to clean in the kitchen, now to work on my bathroom.
-
Does it take two loads of towels to dry Sherlock?
-
They talked over us and passed candy in front of us. But she remembered me this time and didn't ask us to change seats.
-
We saw "Always, Patsy Cline."
-

Did they say excuse me? Did they offer you any candy? I bet not.
-
It was better.
-
Does it take two loads of towels to dry Sherlock?
We used six towels, three on the floor, two to partially dry him, & one I hung on the towel rack to absorb some of the water when he shakes. I then use the hanging towel to wipe the walls down. Keith takes Sherlock outside & blasts him with a professional dog blower that blows most of the water out of him.
-
We saw "Always, Patsy Cline."
Oh, I like that show..did you enjoy it?
-
Wow! I was kidding, it really does take a lot of towels
-
It was better.
You shoulda punched the bitch.
-
Wow! I was kidding, it really does take a lot of towels
I'm getting better at it, it used to take three loads. Somehow we managed not to need to do a load of our own wet clothes.
-
Then I would have been removed from the theater.

A very good point, Ben. LORD OF THE RINGS is pretty low on my list, as well.

I'm sleeeepy.
-
Well, Jane will be very happy to know that the deed is done. I have sent an e-mail to the director telling him that I will not be coming to callbacks for SLEUTH.
-
But I would have missed the show!
I don't think you've told us what the show was today.

Come on guys, we can do more posts than this!

Nobody wants to chime in on the two questions of the day that I asked?

Woo Hoo New season of Next Food Network Star!

No we didn't get season 2 yet. The channel that aired season 1 (citytv) is definitely going to air it. And when this girl from tvguide canada and questioned citytv she thought it was going to start last friday. But i checked their schedule and emailed her. And she said they are going to show it but they now have not set an exact date.
But since they have fall programming set in stone they will have to air it this summer. It's just a matter of them putting it in their schedule. Maybe in a couple of week.s :(
-
Yes, you're right we can do better than this..
-
I always love the guy who starts these competition shows saying "I already KNOW that I'm going to win this" they usually don't
-
Woo Hoo New season of Next Food Network Star!
That's another show that they show here but it is not in the schedule yet. I guess i will have to keep checking back on the food network here to see when this and top chef will be starting.
It's sort of annoying that these canadian websites can't just look and see when their shows are starting their new seasons in the US and simply post their start dates. So at least we'd know.
-
Come on, Cilla, Worst Paul Newman film
-
I may check out the MTV movie awards. I don't think i've ever seen them. So not sure exactly what they are.
-
And i started the Carrie Diaries. It's supposed to be Carrie Bradshaw's (sex and the city) last year of high school. And then the carrie diaries two will be her first year in New York (which sounds more interesting).
-

Jennifer, do you have cable? My friends that lived in Vancouver used to be able to get all the American Networks on cable. Can you get them, if you pay for them?
-
I have seen "The Sting" and "Butch Cassidy...Kid." I don't want to call either of those the worst Paul Newman movie I've ever seen.
-
Come on, Cilla, Worst Paul Newman film
I don't really have a worst. I haven't seen all of them, so I'm sure there are some I wouldn't like

Most Canadians can get most American networks. But the shows i'm talking about are not on the regular channels. They are on speciality channels that i don't believe are available anywhere in the US.
-
The channels i'm talking about that we don't get are:
Showtime
US Bravo
USA
F/X
US food network
TNT

Has anyone here tried those Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters? I am hooked on the cashew variety, although they also have peanut, almond, or Nut Lovers.

I am, I'm also very sorry for the reasons behind this decision. Hugs.
-
But most shows on these speciality channels are available on other Canadian channels.
We get Top chef, top chef masters, the next food network star on Food network canada.
We get White collar on bravo canada.
We get Royal Pains on Citytv.
We get Project Runway on Slice.
The only problem is that sometimes these canadian stations do not air the shows at the same as in the US. Sometimes they do. And sometimes we are off by a few days or weeks. But they don't make their schedules in advance it seems.

Okay, the movie that evrybody loves, but you dislike!

Woo Hoo New season of Next Food Network Star!
That's another show that they show here but it is not in the schedule yet. I guess i will have to keep checking back on the food network here to see when this and top chef will be starting.
It's sort of annoying that these canadian websites can't just look and see when their shows are starting their new seasons in the US and simply post their start dates. So at least we'd know.
Jennifer, do you have cable? My friends that lived in Vancouver used to be able to get all the American Networks on cable. Can you get them, if you pay for them?
Most Canadians can get most American networks. But the shows i'm talking about are not on the regular channels. They are on speciality channels that i don't believe are available anywhere in the US.
Then you don't get cable? Do you pay extra for any viewing? We have to pay for a service as the regular stations have lousy reception. PPS only comes to us through regular programing while other areas in the country get HD PPS. We opt not to pay extra for Showtime or HBO, paying extra for PPS is not an option.

Has anyone here tried those Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters? I am hooked on the cashew variety, although they also have peanut, almond, or Nut Lovers.
Nope. They sound fattening ;)
-
The nut clusters sound good, but I haven't tried them

I'm moving into a summer girly phase. I went shopping and ended up with skirts for the summer.

If I had that much trouble finding shows to watch I suspect I would stop watching tv. :)

Okay, the movie that evrybody loves, but you dislike!
My DH and DS love, love, love the LotR trilogy and I sat through each one once and even accompanied them to the touring exhibit in Indianapolis (on MY birthday, no less), but I really don't need to see any of them ever again.
Ditto, the Matrix.
-
I have a busy day tomorrow, then the week is pretty open for me to catch up. I am soooo excited to have a little room to breathe.
-
Next weekend George (aka HWHC) is going to show me how to reglaze my windows. Paul wants to do his windows so I think he's going to come and watch. We'll see. At least I'll have time to get the supplies etc I need
-
I was mixed about the LOtR. They were just WAY too long for me
-
OTOH I think I saw Titanic at least 12 times in the theater. Of course I was researching the real thing between viewings and was amazed how many little real things are in the movie
-

Are you still researching the Titanic? Did you read TITANIC'S LAST SECRETS?
-
The old Willie Wonka movie -- not the recent remake, which I haven't seen. But I wouldn't like it anyway.
-

Keith and Jane call it "making popcorn."

VIXMOM!! I see you!

According to the Nutrition Facts, the serving size is 8 clusters for a total of 150 calories.
-
Yes.

After church I spent the day in doing yard work -
-
Vixdad went uo the ladder and cleaned all the moss out of teh gutters (it was a WET spring) and I collected everything he threw down in a trash bag
-
then I pulled weeds
-
planted some more flowers
-
Wow! You were busy, Vixmom
-
put down mulch in the front garden
-
I was filthy by time I was done so I had a shower and then got dinner together
-
I just grilled cheddar burgers - we ran out of gas but fortunatelyl not until the burgers were nearly done - by keeping the barbeque closed it retained enough heat to finish them off
we also has corn on the cob and baked beans
-
then Vixdad droved the Vixter to her Youth Group - afterwards he and watched the first episode of the "Sharpe" series - starring Sean Bean (we have them all on DVD)
-
G'night!
-
then it was time to collect the Vixter and now I am watching EMMA on PBS
-
TCB I am sure that you made the right decsion - but I am sad that you had to make it
-
Laura do you know if Annoying Woman and her sidekick have renewed their subscription?
-

Goodnight TCB. I am also glad you made your decision, but sad you had to make it.

I love wearing skirts in the summer -
-
I'm trying to stay awake until DS Rob gets here from Michigan. We don't expect him much before midnight and it's a stretch for me to stay up that late after getting up at 5:30 this morning. Good thing I had a little nap at church while Fr. Richard was meeting with the vestry 8)
-
Laura do you know if Annoying Woman and her sidekick have renewed their subscription?
I think all four of them did.
-
Now I love The LOTR trilogy - but I found Titantic barely sit-througable
-
Laura do you know if Annoying Woman and her sidekick have renewed their subscription?

did they perhaps move to another row?
-
That's horse-racing, DR Vixmom - I'd stop channel-surfing to watch Titanic, but not the hobbits!
-
We are watching Joshua Bell and his friends perform in the Lincoln Center Penthouse.
-
I quite enjoyed Burn After Reading - although I could have done without George Clooney's homemade chair....
-

whereas we quote LOTR aroound here - !!
-
I'm still watching Next Food Network Star. They are all still a little too nervous to be totally interesting. There are some interesting characters though...it could be a good season
-
George Clooney....did someone say George Clooney...I adore him
-
Ihave not seen enough Paul Newman movies to say which is his worst - but covering both TODS suggested by TCB - Imust admit to not beinga huge fan of Cool Hand Luke - not because there is anything wrong with it - I just didn't care for the story
-
George Clooney....did someone say George Clooney...I adore him
me too!
-
my niece in Ohio graduated from high school today - did yoiu hear of any tornadoes in the area of Powell , Ginny?
-
Hmm George Clooney is 2 months and 6 days older than I am...not that it means anything...
-
As far as I can tell, DR Vixmom, the severe weather was farther north.
Congratulations to your niece!
-
that means he is younger than me... but then nearly everyone is.
-
We are always doing "our favorite this" or "our favorte that"; so today why not try something else?
What is the absolute worst film that ever starred Paul Newman? (No fair saying SILVER CHALICE, just because he always said that it was his worst film)
OR
What film does the world consider to be an all-time classic; that you secretly have always hated?
Well, that is two choices.
a. Can't think of the one word title, but it's a futuristic film he made for Robert Altman.
b. OUT OF AFRICA
-
Laura do you know if Annoying Woman and her sidekick have renewed their subscription?

No. She loudly said she was not going to change rows.
-
Rob's home!

i want potato chips and onion dip
-
I want ice cream and strawberries
-
Looks like we have the sweet and salty covered, Vixmom
-
i succumbed to temptation - and have now consumed vast quantities of calories - I am sure to regret it it in the morning when I step on the scale - but oh it sure hit the spot!!
-
i want potato chips and onion dip
Now this sounds excellent. I haven't made onion dip in ages. I used to buy eight ounces of sour cream, make the dip, and get low fat potato chips and have the whole thing as my meal.
-
Carole King and James Taylor are in concert on PBS now
-
I'm finished with my viewing for the evening - a really odd motion picture that I'd never seen, from 1970 - and X-rated at the time. Probably a PG13 today.
-
I only made about a cup full - but at 11:39 at night Ihave no business eating onion dip -

If it makes you feel better, I just finished a bowl of vanilla ice cream and strawberries
-
If it makes you feel better, I had tuna pasta salad.
-
Laura, Cilla you are true friends!!
-
If it makes you feel better, I had tuna pasta salad.
My recipe? How was it?
-
i must go to slepood night all
-
It was yummy.
-
Yay.
-
I may rustle up a batch this week - I eat it over two days and I ALWAYS lose weight doing so - it's my best diet food.
-
I'm just being lazy.
-
I think I'll take a shower. I've got the air conditioning on for a few minutes, just cooling down the house.
-
Nobody wants to chime in on the two questions of the day that I asked?
Everyone seems to think it is a classic, but I detested LITTLE BIG MAN. I was a kid when I saw it and found it disturbing. I have never bothered to try and watch it again.
-
On the other hand I just finished watching, and enjoying, the 1962 release DAUGHTER OF THE SUN GOD, which must be a classic of some sort.
-
It is late, and I should go to bed, but I am trying to delay as long as I can, cause tomorrow is back to work.
-
Today, all the visiting family came to my place to check it out. I gave a tour and they all liked it...not that it would matter if they didn't. ;) We sat around for a while just chatting, and then my dad and aunt (his sister) went home. My cousin and his wife, along with my sister, niece and I all went to a local bakery just a few blocks from my sister's house for a quick lunch. My niece and then I left to go to a Seattle Storm women's basketball game and the Storm won! They got in the lead very quickly and at one point, were 35, count 'em 35 points ahead! The visiting team narrowed the gap a bit, but never got ahead and the Storm won by 24 points. It was a very good game. :D

I took Friday off from work and dread going back tomorrow, too.

I like the movie Camelot better than seeing it on stage
Camelot was the first (and so far, only) show that I didn't really know before I performed in it...and didn't really like after I performed in it. I like just about everything else that I've been in, except for Camelot. I certainly loved being in the show and I'm still friends with some of the people that I met doing it. I mean, the show okay and I certainly like other Lerner and Loewe shows (Brigadoon was the very first musical that I performed in and has a special place in my heart ;)), but I just don't care for Camelot.
