Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fashion conscious, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently trying to win an authentic dirndle dress on eBay.

As promised, but late, here is our new Kritzerland release. You know the deal - 19.98 plus 3.75 shipping (23.73) via paypal to kritzerland at adelphia dot net.
DOING BUSINESS IN MOSCOW CAN BE MURDER
Kritzerland is proud to present a new limited edition soundtrack release:
GORKY PARK
Music Composed and Conducted by James Horner
Based on the 1981 novel by Martin Cruz Smith, the 1983 film adaptation of Gorky Park was a suspenseful, exciting thriller with an expert cast, including William Hurt, Lee Marvin, Ian Bannen, Brian Dennehy, Joanna Pacula, and Richard Griffiths. The screenplay was by Dennis Potter, and the director was Michael Apted.
The New York Times called the film “a taut, clever thriller throughout, with Mr. Apted’s direction establishing its intensity immediately and sustaining it well. Ralf G. Bode’s cinematography and James Horner’s score go a long way toward setting a hauntingly bleak mood, and the supporting players, particularly Brian Dennehy and Ian Bannen, are excellent.” The film’s screenplay won an Edgar Allen Poe award, and Pacula was nominated for a Golden Globe.
James Horner’s score is really integral to the film, helping establish its various moods and characters, and really notching up the tension and romance. It has some of Horner’s best themes, including a stunning one for Irina, the character played by Joanna Pacula. By 1983, Horner had only been writing film scores for five years, but he’d already built up a substantial body of work and was considered to be one of the best of the up-and-comers of that generation, thanks to his terrific work on films in every kind of genre, including Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, 48 Hrs, Wolfen, Deadly Blessing, The Hand, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Krull, The Dresser, Testament, Brainstorm, among others.
He would, of course, go on to be one of the most successful film composers in history, turning out scores for both blockbusters and more intimate films such as Cocoon, Uncommon Valor, The Journey of Natty Gann, Commando, An American Tail, Willow, Field of Dreams, Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, Glory, The Rocketeer, Aliens, Braveheart, Apollo 13, The Mask of Zorro, as well as his scores for two of the most successful films ever made, James Cameron’s Titanic and Avatar – and that doesn’t even scratch the surface. Horner is both an Oscar and Grammy Award-winner.
Gorky Park was originally released on LP and CD by Varese Sarabande. For this release, we have completely remastered the sound and offer two presentations of the score – the first in film order, and the second in album order, two very different listening experiences. While there are a handful of additional cues in the film, most of them are very brief and are mostly reiterations of the cues that were assembled for the soundtrack album by Horner himself.
So, here is James Horner’s great score for Gorky Park, one of his finest from an especially rich time in his scoring career. It’s everything a thriller score should be – and more.
This release is limited to 1000 copies only. The price of the CD is $19.98, plus shipping. Additionally, we are offering a special deal with the purchase of this release. Go to the item page and click on the link to find out about it.
CD will ship the first week of March – however, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early). To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

I have just ordered the "Gorky Park" soundtrack.
-
I also just added the movie to my Netflix queue. I remember thinking when it first came out that I wanted to see it, but then I never did. And I never thought about getting the video/DVD until now.
-
Morning all.
That is all.

We saw Antonia yesterday in the Riverdale Childrens Theatre production of The Wizard of Oz. She was wonderful. As with all CT productions it had ups and downs but overall the production was lots of fun and very inventive in terms of sets and effects and, as I mentioned, our own Dear Antonia was great!
-
Bye for now.
-
good morning all

I have a little dirndle made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then dirndle I shall play!
Oh – dirndle, dirndle, dirndle made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then dirndle I shall play!

And the word of the day is: HOMOGRAPH!
A gay male who knows Morse Code

Good morning, all! Last night's dreams were back to dead relatives: my dad was in this one, and it's all rather fragmentary, something about picking him up in (I think) Xenia, OH, and a lot of driving through alleys and gas stations to get to the right location, the bathroom wall of our old house on Goldman covered with wasps and roaches, my brother Macbeth and me fighting about a pesticide, and a porn movie display. I suppose the wasps could be a Lady M reference, but it was all over the place
I think my new neighbor in 4C is moving in soon. I heard the squeaky door above me around 7:30, but I must say, the new tenant's awfully quiet so far. One of my friendsw on the 5th floor was telling me the new neighbor in 5C had a huge noisy party the other night and there were lots of people coming and going past 12:30. I told her to call the police.
Iy's another NYPL day: Victorine Hays is today's object of inquiry.
-
Good morning.
-
It's very cold here today. It's in the single digits. When I left for the office it was 5 degrees.
-
Very cold here, too -- 42.
-
Good Morning. Time to walk in that very cold 42 degrees. Must bundle up.
-
It's 3 degrees here right now, but we're supposed to get to 30 today, can't wait
-
I'm not sure if it was the salmon or if I'm starting to get the bug going around, but my stomach has been going crazy all night. I haven't actually gotten sick, but I woke up at 4:30 and have been up ever since. I do have a busy week, so I'm hoping it settles down and my headache goes away
-
I had some cheerios and a banana, I feel a little better, but am sleepy
-
Time to head to work. Can't wait to see Edith's reaction to her new computer.
-
It's up to 22 degrees here.
-
A bit of shopping to do. Then I shall return.
-
And the word of the day is: HOMOGRAPH!
And The Song Of The Day Is: WAVE
-
It's 3 degrees here right now, but we're supposed to get to 30 today, can't wait
I loved the photo of Ricky hiding! I cannot remember now when you posted it, but it made me laugh. Post more.
-
It was 4 degrees in the South of Jersey when I left my warm home this morning. But now that's I've traveled west to a warmer climate in Conshohocken, it's way up to 9.
-
Dirndl, dirndl, dirndl,
I made it from a drogue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drogue_parachute)!
And when it's sewn and ready
My dirndl, I will vogue!
-
It was 4 degrees in the South of Jersey when I left my warm home this morning. But now that's I've traveled west to a warmer climate in Conshohocken, it's way up to 9.
I'm hoping that by 11:30 it will have warmed up a bit to 60 degrees so I can walk to Lincoln Center.

A dirndl dress is as redundant as an egg omelette, no matter what the eBay lister says.

It's called a Dirndl dress.

-
The dirndl dresses of the late 60s are adorable - not like the traditional - short (just above the knees, with a high waist. I know because I bought one as research and Miss Juliana Hansen modeled it for me.
-
I'm up, I've announced, and would love to go back to sleep but won't, because CDs and helper will be here very soon.

RE: the series finale of MEDIUM

I won't say that I hated it. There were parts I liked. I did absolutely hate that they veered from realty and killed Joe. I thought that was awful.
I am so sad that the series is over.
RE: the series finale, I liked how Joe waited for her. That was so sweet and made me cry. I liked the final credits where everybody came out. BUT I HATED that they killed Joe. What was up with that? Especially since the real Joe Dubois is alive.
I didn’t hate that they went forward in time 7 years. But I did hate that we didn’t get to say goodbye to Bridget. And I hated that all that was a dream that Joe sent to her.
If they really wanted to kill Joe (which I wouldn’t like no matter what) then why not have Allison be a lawyer and have Joe be her ghost sidekick. That at least could have been interesting.
The very end left me with a good feeling. But the rest of the show not so much.
-
IT is freezing here today. I am afraid to check the temps. I know last night they said it would be -31C but that is without windchill. Brrrr.
-
Yes, Jason Graae's show was wonderful last night! We always enjoy seeing Jason in anything he does.
-
Monday morning greetings! It's still cold here in SW Ohio and we had a dusting of fresh snow overnight.

Yes, it was a strange way to end a show based upon an actual, living person and her still-living family.
But then...perhaps they didn't want to leave any questions open about whether there might be made-for-TV movies continuing the story. (?)

After seeing the real Allison on THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS in all her ugly glory, I'd say the series and the real woman have as much in common as I do with Rudyard Kipling.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Busy, busy weekend. Had people over last night for the first time in ages, so I really did have to clean the house, at least a superficial cleaning. I need to start on a medium cleaning and work up to the deep one.
But the evening was fun. People ate the pulled pork I made plus everything else that they brought to go with it. I made a fire in the fireplace and that made the evening warm and cozy.
-
TOD: I clean up real good, I'm told, but my favorite clothes are a worn pair of jeans and a T-shirt or pullover. Actually, a pair of shorts (not those midi-length horrors that pass for shorts nowadays) or a bathing suit for the beach and a T-shirt I like even better.

Off to Lincoln Center. I don't like the opening time change to noon. When they moved it to 11am, it was bad enough. I want to get in at 10 or 10:30 at the latest and be finished by 2.

DR Ron, regarding MEDIUM we felt there could have been more of the final scene and less of the rest of the show-lol.
Congrats on keeping your weight down.

For anyone who may have missed it in last night's forum posts:
I've watched "The Uninvited" (Paramount, 1944) with Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey, and Gail Russell about three times this weekend. Recorded it, again, off TCM...this time onto a new HDD-DVD recorder.
If anyone out there wants a DVD-R, leave me a private message and a mailing address. I still have it on my HDD and it takes only a couple of minutes to burn a copy.

Thank you for the offer. While it is one of my favorite films it airs often enough. Recently Keith saw it for the first time.

I'm in the trickiest part of the book and in every Hofstetter book, this is the part that's the hardest - I always go a little nutty during these last four chapters, trying to have clarity and suspense and a really good reveal.

I've done about eight pages. Just met with a potential new helper, who seems terrific. She was actually in The Roxy, and she's a hard worker. She seems to understand the deal and really wants to do it. I'll make sure this current shipment is finished and done, and then I think I'll call a meeting with the helper's boyfriend and best friend and discuss all the various scenarios that might happen. IF I hire this new gal, I'd have them come in while I'm there to show her how all the shipping stuff works on the computer. Once she knows that, it's probably very simple to do the switchover.

We've gotten very good response to Gorky Park and the orders are coming in steadily.

I think I'll take a little movie break now, and then do two more pages a little later. The good news is I have pretty much worked out all the final details for the last chapters. As with the last book, I'd been waffling back and forth about the who of the mystery, but, as with the last book, it's going to be who I suspected it would be, although it was close between two other people. In the end, I think I've made the right choice, but the good news is that if Muse Margaret doesn't like it, it would be fairly easy to go back in and just change that, as it would only involve the last two chapters.

When I went to MoMA earlier, I spent most of my time there in the following two exhibits:
Andy Warhol: Moving Pictures (http://moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/1099)
On Line: Drawing Through the Twentieth Century (http://moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/971)
I actually spent a bit more time in the Warhol exhibit than I expected. MoMA really did a beautiful job of setting up the gallery as a viewing space, including a room set up as a movie theatre (minus the popcorn). It was the perfect setting just to sit, watch, absorb and think - or not think - for a while.

We seem to have stalled!

Come on, Cilla, I think we are needed.

Oh good gravy

Edith likes her new computer. She said it was lightning fast

actually her old one was just molasses slow
-
Now we're getting close

So why are you just sitting there TCB?

HI GINNY!!!!

La la la la la....

I have lived the majority of my life in Washington State; and yet, today had to be one of the dreariest days (weather-wise) that I can ever remember. One of my co-workers looking out the window of her cubbicle put it best when she said it looked like a black and white photo.

I was kicking back, waiting for you to do your magic.
-
Abra cadabra!
-
I'm watching Antiques Roadshow.
-
Later I will watch Harry's Law
-
I may play a little Wii
-
Or I may not
-
Sometimes I think my attempts at increasing the post total may be the reason we don't have more new members.
-
But we do what we have to do.

You need a big photo of a bright sunny day you can look at when it's dreary out
-
Last night, I stayed up and watched HAWAII 5-0. It was shown right after the NFL game finished, so for me it wasn't that late.
-

I have a better solution - I don't have any windoiws near my cubicle.

Increasing postal count sounds like sending a bigger stack of mail to the post office

Post, not postal! There is a difference.

There's a musical revue called Waiter, There's a Slug In My Latte (the distinctly Seattle musical) that has a song called, "Colorful Shades of Gray." It's actually a lovely song. :)
-
That means I can go post, and still not go postal.

Hi, DR Cillaliz!
I've been sitting here keeping an eye on DS Rob, who drove back from Michigan today and is now showing signs of a flu-like illness :P
He's not going to firefighter school tomorrow...

Well, maybe not just tonight.

There are some strange viruses going around this year. And I don't mean on the computer.

Here's something I saw on our nice sunny day today:

No, but I got the cast recording on cassette years ago through Interlibrary Loan and made a copy of it...I eventually made a CD of that. I should still have it...if it's still in my garage.
-
I am watching "I Am Love" with a great Tilda Swinton performance. Not the best made movie in the world. The direction is too limp in spots, but her performance is arresting.
-
My friend Patsy sends me every virus hoax that she receives. And each ttime I explain that it is a hoax, and send her the web address for snopes.com.
Last week she sent me one that said that snopes.com confirms this rumor. Except when I went to snopes.com, it said the rumor was Untrue!

Wow, that was quite a jump from DS Rob coming down with the flu.

From Friday's posts: Of course Cole is 3 years old, not 23. I must remember to always proofread!
LOL We knew he wasn't 23. :)
-
The local news just did a story on the Seattle Pie Company. I guess the pies are wonderful, but I wonder if this woman that owns the place has ever heard of a hair net?

Yes, Mother!
LOL, DR TCB! He made the decision all on his own and we found out when we noticed him texting on his phone. He was communicating with his instructors, who made it very clear when the quarter began that they did NOT want students in class if they're sick.
-
Damn, I keep forgetting to take a photo of my big dish. And no, Jeffrey, that is not a euphemism.

No longer spoilers:
1. It sank.
2. They're all dead.
3. She's actually alive.
4. He's crazier than you even think he is.
5. Ma and Pa Kettle are actually cousins.
You may thank me later.
?
I agree TCB.
I'm pretty sure what one is. I can guess at two and five is a joke.

We've gotten very good response to Gorky Park and the orders are coming in steadily.

I wish I could see the inside. The location looks very nice. It seems to me for the size of the home & the location it is priced low. Of course in today's market that doesn't mean it will sell.
-

I would have been very surprised had you stated otherwise. I'm glad she is happy with it & I'm sure with you as a result. :)

Craig had a beach towel he keeps in his car for Yogi which needed washing. I had two white towels I had used to dry my clean car with, which I keep in my car & Keith had one white Y (as in YMCA) towel he accidentally brought home with him. I washed them all together and now have three very pink towels plus the original dog towel.
I hope I save Craig from ever ruining anything good now that he knows not to mix the towel with unlike colors. ;D
-
I felt very sick to my stomach all night. I had a headache this morning. Luckily I felt better as the day wore on and never really got sick. I did throw out the rest of the salmon.
-
Oh, and I will now be putting three
white pink towels back into the trunk of my car.
-
Do any of our New Yawk Artists happen to know an opera singer named David Adam Moore? He is currently doing THE BARBER OF SEVILLE with Seattle Opera.
-
Pink is nice
-
Cilla I'm sorry I forgot to ask how you were feeling. I'm glad you are improving & am sorry you had to trash the salmon you enjoyed so much.
-
Pink is nice
The nice, very white towel from the Y does look somewhat pretty.
-
I enjoyed it, but not later. Not sure why it bothered me, but I've eaten left overs of everything else and feel fine. It did take me until about 9:00 AM. I have been up since 4:15
-
The Y will never know that pink towel used to be theirs ;)

Perhaps the YWCA would be interested in the pink towel.

Now I'm just waiting for Harry's Law. Trying to decide if I like Piers Morgan's show.

How are you Vixmom? I hope you aren't just getting home from work.

I thought it was rather low, also. The inside is beautiful.
-
Hi Tom! hi Cilla!!
-
Good goly, Miss Molly! Bedtime!
-
They will because of the big Y stamped on it ;D The Y is really on the edge of the towel. Keith won't be taking it with him just in case.
-
SOrry I was not around much this weekend
-
I hate to leave, Debby, because we are very seldom online at the same time, but my cat is about to turn into a pumpkin.

Saturday I was out with Vixdad in the afternoon -

I responded to Cilla without noticing page seven.

Suanday after church Vixter & I went to watch a local procution of 12 Angry Men , one of our friends was playing the foreman
It was an excellent production

No, sorry they were showing the inside on the news. It is right near the lake.

Then last night we went to the Outback to celebtrate my Dad's 81st birthday (which is really tomorrow)
-
SOrry I was not around much this weekend
We knew what you were doing! ;) ;) ;)
;)
-
Happy Birthday to Vixmom's Dad!!!!
-
Since the rest of Long Island was either somewhere being bitterly disappointed by the Jets or just too reluctant to goout into the cold cold weather we had the Outback almost completely to ourselves
when they heard it was dad's birthday they treated him to a nice big piece of carrot cake
-
Yum I love carrot cake
-
tonight it is so bitter cold that the walls inside the house are cold to the touch
-
I would recommend not touching the walls
-
unless you are wearing gloves :)
-

My new pink towel is kind of pretty. Even Craig said it looks nice. :)

and these cars were photographed in New York's east village

and these cars were photographed in New York's east village
I saw the story about those cars earlier on the news... The owners went into a bar to watch the NY Jets' game yesterday... A watermain broke spraying water everywhere, and Voila! -Car-sicles!
-
Carcicles!
-
I am very annoyed with myself - I lost my warmest pair of gloves on Saturday --- I had them on my lap in the car and when I got out they must have fallen to the ground in the car park - I didn't realize until later when I went to put them back on that they were missisng
-
Carcicles!
I like that. :)
-
well time to go ready for bed
-
Put lots of covers on the bed! You may even want to wear socks
-
I really like Harry's Law
-
A prosecutor saying he's a professional douche bag. Gotta love this show.
-
I wish HARRY'S LAW and CASTLE weren't on at the same time.
-
I have three letters for you, Ginny, D V R

:D
-
Yeah, DR Cillaliz, we haven't gone that route yet.

You'd need a really heavy-duty ice scraper for those cars!
-
you could probably smack it with a hammer and not even damage the ice, let alone the car.
-
Yeah, DR Cillaliz, we haven't gone that route yet.
I highly recommend it. It's so nice to not have to be at the tv set right when something starts or to be able to take a phone call or leave the room and just rewind and pick up whatever you missed
-
Well...
I've been quite yawn-y for the past hour or so, so...
Goodnight.

Watched part of a motion picture, wrote another half page (still a page and a half to go), then went out and had a salad.

Almost...but not quite. ;) I actually was able to find the CD-R that I made and I'll listen to it at work tomorrow. Hopefully, it's still good. I had a video-CD that had a paper label on it that isn't viewable anymore. Only the first couple of scenes were still playable. It starts to pixelate about 15 minutes into it, but then it freezes. :P
-
So earlier tonight, my friend Margo's daughter called me, asking if I could come over because her mom broke her toe! :o I get over there and medics had been there and put a very simple splint and bandage on the big toe of her right foot, but it was still bleeding a bit. I drove her to Group Health's emergency care and after about 20 minutes of waiting, they finally took her in, x-rayed her and found that she has a compound fracture behind the nail bed. They put on a half-splint and totally bandaged it up. She has to see someone again within the next couple of days.
-
AND just a few months ago, she had her left knee replaced. Fortunately, her new knee is still fine.
