Well, you've read the notes, you are now in a state of your own choosing, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're in a state - the state of Flux.
-
And the word of the day is: FLUX!
-
I posted about the Kritzer books on the Cinema Treasures site, on the pages of several of the movie theaters that appear within the books. Well, Benjamin Kritzer went from being number 1,200,000 in the sales rank to number 69,000 in the sales rank. Quite a nice little jump.
-
FLUX, baby, FLUX!
And now - Dino at the piano.
-
Not sure about X & R. The definitions would be different here anyway.
"Dog Day Afternoon" was the first movie I saw which had "X" language.
-
Welcome eleven GUESTS (!). We're talkin' about "R" and "X" rated first films.
-
How come we have GUESTS who aren't WUSSBURGERS? They are putting certain folks to SHAME!
-
I think that "Midnight Cowboy" might be the only actual "X" rated movie that I've seen. I have seen (shhhh...don't tell anyone) XXX rated movies ;) (but not the movie, "xXx" with Vin Diesel).
-
Good morning, all! The IRS situation is getting ridiculous: last week, Thursday I believe, I received another 1099 for a rather large amount of money. I had my taxes done on Feb 9 because of an outstanding IRS problem, some financial problems, and the need to complete the primary work early enough before April 15 to determine a course of action.
So, I had to call my accountant, alert them to the fact that I had just received a 1099, which was supposed to be mailed by Feb 1, and I have to pay a fee to have last year's taxes redone. I'm to pick them up at noon. Last evenig a cabaret singer DR Jose and I both know sent me an email saying she was ready to send my 1099 as soon as I sent her my social security number and address!
Two things here really burn my butt: I will have to pay my accountant another fee and why isn't her accountant on top of this? Since I always include address and ss# on my invoices, and since she sent me a 1099 last year as well, why isn't this information on record?
Beyond that, the weather continues fine.
TOD: X-rated: MIDNIGHT COWBOY; since then I've seen too may X- and R-rated movies to remember any of them. I certainly remember my first XXX-rated film. 1970, Cincinnati, as I recall. But that's another topic.

Re: last night's Olympics Ice Dance competition.
I love Ice Dancing. If done well it's my favorite of all figure skating. But last night was a disaster. I'm glad they've changed the scoring system, so it's not pre-determined who will win. But what I saw last night was extremely unimpressive.
First off, I don't think I've ever seen someone fall in Ice Dance. But last night at least 3 or 4 teams fell.
Second, DR Jose, I know exactly what you mean about the stare. OMG, that italian woman (they were leading) was vicious. Although her partner probably deserved it.
I was really heartbroken that the Canadian team fell, since I"m sure they would have been in the top 3. They were truly my favorites. Their fall was really bad (since they were doing a difficult lift). It wasn't the man's fault (she lost her grip on his arm while in the air). But they've been showing it a lot on tv here. And they are not sure if she will be able to skate.
I was not impressed with the russians now in 1st. I watched them without knowing where they were from or what place they were in, and I think that gave me a very unbiased view. I thought their unison was really poor (they replayed it and it was completely off). I thought their routine was not inspired. I thought their lifts were not that difficult or interesting. And I found they were skating so far apart. That is key for me. I like them to be so close (that's what makes it difficult). Anyhow the announcers on CBC said after how great they were (no mistakes). But later they had someone review it and she was going through the mistakes. So at least i'm not crazy.
I did not like the italians that fell either (formerly in 1st). He was not a very good skater and had problems keeping up with her. Plus they skated very far apart.
I guess my favorites were the Canadian/American (skating for US) team. My gosh she has long legs. They were good, although really not as good as I remember past Ice Dancers as being.
Anyhow i'm looking forward to watching the rest. I really hope the Montreal woman is okay.
-
DR Cillaliz re: THE LOOK and that she obviously blamed him (Olympics).
From the replay it did look to be his fault. HE totally tripped and pulled her down. The commentators were saying how they had retired and hadn't skated in competition for like 4 years (she had a baby). But they came back cause the Olympics were in Italy.
It must be very frustrating to retire and come back for one competition and then have that happen. But geez she could have been more gracious!
-
My comments on last night's Desperate Housewives-- SPOILER ALERT!!!
Matt, I see your point about humor not having a place in alcoholism. However, I did like the way Bree's storyline played out because I thought it did an excellent job of showing how the disease can creep up on you. Most of us have been out to dinner and had too much to drink on at least one occasion. And then they have her sparring back and forth with her son and you think maybe it's just him giving her a hard time. But then you look back and realize how many times you've seen her with a glass in hand, or pouring herself a glass in response to stress. I think the humor was to lull us into thinking that this was just another quirky plot line- until something very serious happens as a consequence.
I also liked Gabby's storyline, I thought it explained a lot about who she was and why. I wanted to shake her mother- little girls are supposed to want to try on their mothers' shoes, makeup and jewelry (and little boys too for that matter) that's part of their developmental process. And as for who we are to believe- absolutely Gabby. No fifteen year old girl "seduces" a man twice her age. That is a lie the child molestor tells to rationalize his behavior. The adult absolutely has the power in that situation, not the child. I loved the way Carlos took care of her in the end by saying blood isn't everything.
-
Grey's Anatomy also good last night- I can't wait for next week's episode!
-
TOD: The first R rated film that I saw was Carnal Knowledge. I shocked my mother when I told her that I had seen it. Then again, she shocked easily. (I was attending college at the time, in Fresno of all places.)
I never told her about seeing Behind the Green Door. (Again, in Fresno. There's something about that town that's pornographic.)
-
DR Dakotacelt - I'm not THAT far from you. We have lutefisk here too - and lots of Norwegians as well. I like it baked not boiled with lots of boiled potatoes and butter
-
Well BK, if you do work yourself into Iowa, you can have your fill of all the food you bring yourself.
-
KY Jelly is an excellent flux.
::)
-
TOD - Hmmm don't remember first R movie I saw. My dad used to take me to movies when I was a little kid when my mother had bridge club. I think I was 6 or 7 when he took me to BONNIE AND CLYDE, which looks like it was rate M at the time. He never paid any attention to ratings, it was just an easy way to babysit
The first X was probably an Emmanuelle movie in college...one night with my boyfriend and then a group of my female friends wanted to go to an X rated movie sometime later. I went along...it was the same movie!!! So I saw it twice... Yes it deserved an X rating. It was hilarious.

Good morning DR Woody!
I'm just sitting here waiting for my plumber
-
Wow! I typed that and he knocked on the door!!! Wonder if that would work for anyone else? Hmm I don't want to waste this magic, I better think about it before I type another name
-
Ok, maybe if I'm not so specific....how about...I'm just sitting here waiting for the man of my dreams.....
-
Well, it was worth a try.... Maybe no man of my dreams, but soon, very soon, I will be able to take a shower and wash clothes...life will be good indeed
-
Wow! I typed that and he knocked on the door!!! Wonder if that would work for anyone else? Hmm I don't want to waste this magic, I better think about it before I type another name
Typing my name did that?
Hmmm, the power of Woody. Something to think about.
You could ask the plumber if he has any flux to spare. :o ::) ;D

I'm blaming Jose.

Here in the U. S. of A., today is President's Day.
It is also National Cherry Pie Day.
Coincidence? I don't think so!

There is much truth in yesterday's Pickles comic strip (http://www.comics.com/wash/pickles/archive/pickles-20060219.html).
-
The house reeks of last night's gremolata.
It's a very nice reek.
-
Hmmm...today is Monday....trash pick up, but NO mail delivery!
Wached part of the ice dancing, but I kept thinking it was about midnight and when I looked at the clock is was only 9:45.....NBC sure knows how to stretch 2 hours of sports into 5 hours of commercial air time.

Good morning, all! The IRS situation is getting ridiculous: last week, Thursday I believe, I received another 1099 for a rather large amount of money. I had my taxes done on Feb 9 because of an outstanding IRS problem, some financial problems, and the need to complete the primary work early enough before April 15 to determine a course of action.
The cabaret singer just sent an email telling me the deadline for 1099s in Feb 28. So, why so late? If I'd had lost all my tax records from last year, the 1099s and W2s would be my only record of income. How can you begin your tax prep without valid records? I also just got hell from my accountant and a weary "any more coming in?" along with a lecture on my crappy record keeping, which I must admit I deserved. Still, it burns my ass.
-
First X Rated movie was A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, and it was shcoking enough to receive its rating, at the time.
Second one was BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, which was on a triple feature with VOTD and MYRA BRECKINRIDGE, which I believe was also rated X.
Many M and R movies, probably the first of which was STRAW DOGS....

Reading the geographical discussion from DRS CILLALIZ and DAKOTA CELT reminded me of this shocking and X-rated newspaper headline:
NEWLYWEDS LEAVE DAVENPORT FOR HOT SPRINGS
-
DR MATTH - I have the Golden Boy LP - had it for YEARS - but have never listened to all of it. If I can find someone who can put it on cassette for you, I will make you a copy. I will keep you posted.
-
Frances Farmer - Broadway Golden Boy Page Two Dance!
Looks like they might be ice dancing! ;D
-
Good morning!
It's cold here, but not ridiculously cold, and very overcast (but I'm starting to see some blue peep through the clouds). We didn't get the bad weather they had predicted. Actually, no precipitation at all here. The mountains were supposed to get snow again.
-
DR MATTH - I have the Golden Boy LP - had it for YEARS - but have never listened to all of it. If I can find someone who can put it on cassette for you, I will make you a copy. I will keep you posted.
Thanks, DR JRand. Be sure it's the one with Sammy Davis' raspy vocals. I have the reissue with his redone vocals on both LP and CD.
I wouldn't want you to go to any trouble for no good reason. Thanks.
-
And speaking of Broadway cast albums, my BAKER STREET CD hasn't arrived yet! Good lord, what's keeping it?
-
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES spoiler - - - -
Yes, DR TPunk, I think Bree's plight is interesting and certainly dramatic. I just felt that first incident, with her passed out on her lawn and her son being typically mean to her, was played for laughs, and I just didn't find her predicament funny. Kids can be cruel to their parents (and Andrew has certainly measured up to that description in numerous ways over the last year and a half), but something about it just struck me as a cheap laugh about something deadly earnest.
But the show is called DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, and I guess they need to keep the ladies in various stages of desperation to earn that title.
-
I just read a review of the new LADY AND THE TRAMP DVD coming out next week. Was the original Cinemascope film actually made with only mono sound? I didn't know that!
-
DR MATTH - what is the LP number of the reissue - just to make sure I don't have the same one....mine is on Capital.
-
DRMBARNUM - what about THE SECOND GREATEST SEX?
-
The Second Greatest Sex...sounds like the title of a Whitney Houston power ballad.
-
Time to get ready for work...Later.
-
DR MATTH - what is the LP number of the reissue - just to make sure I don't have the same one....mine is on Capital.
They're all on Capitol.
The originals were VAS-2124 and SVAS-2124 (mono and stereo)
The reissue was STAO-11655
-
For fans of HOUSE, don't forget that a new episode is coming on tonight at 8 (rather than tomorrow night when it's preempted by the two hour AMERICAN IDOL semifinal round).
-
And for those who like COURTING ALEX, I guess you read that CBS is moving it and OUT OF PRACTICE (the show it temporarily replaced) to WEdnesday nights at 8 and 8;30 starting next month. They will replace YES DEAR and STILL STANDING whose seasons will have ended.
-
Well, at least one of my friends that I normally have lunch with on Mondays is NOT at home babysitting his children, so we will be able to have lunch today!
I guess I need to get up from here and head down in order to clean up a bit before heading out for lunch.
WBBL.

DR JRand55, THE SECOND GREATEST SEX is on tap for today. I was planning to watch it last night but then realized I was using the VCR to tape some stuff...so had to watch a DVD..Bollywood DVD of course.
-
First R rated movie was probably something along the lines of SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE or another of those early 1980s teen horror films.
First X rate movie, I believe, was WANDA WHIPS WALL STREET starring Veronica Hart, who I had seen on the Phil Donahue show a few years earlier and became fascinated with.

Anyhow i'm looking forward to watching the rest. I really hope the Montreal woman is okay.
DR Jennifer, I saw the rebroadcast in the overnight hours and I have to agree with you on several points...
1. The Canadian/American pair of Belbin / Agosto was good..
2. That look that woman gave.... OUCH!!!
3. I also hope that the Canadian pair is okay. I had seen them skate before on the telly and I liked their routines in the past...
4. I also agree that some of the skating was uninspired. No electricity in the couples like you have seen in the past.
-
DR Dakotacelt - I'm not THAT far from you. We have lutefisk here too - and lots of Norwegians as well. I like it baked not boiled with lots of boiled potatoes and butter
DR Cilla, perhaps we can meet up someday...
-
Monday greetings! Back from my overnight with Mom (Yes, DR TCB, we are very lucky still to have both mothers). Her tests at the hospital went smoothly and afterwards she wanted to go to her favorite bakery (Central Pastry, Middletown, OH). She's probably had her coffee and danish and is taking a nap. I'm home catching up on last night's posts and trying to figure out the rest of my day off.
-
Thanks DRMATT....I will check my LP later today...I am thinking it is the reissue because I think it's an STAO number, but I am not sure. Time will tell.
-

I didn't know about this. What will they put on Mondays? I think that COURTING ALEX really needed the 2 1/2 MEN lead in. Anyhow is the episode tonight new or a repeat? (or not on). It's listed in my tv guide.
-
Thanks for the DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES spoiler alerts. I have not watched last night's show yet, but will watch it tonight.
-
Last night, my mom had gone to bed before NBC got around to showing the last group of ice dancers. The way I yelled when the Canadian woman fell on her hip, Mom thought someone had broken in and was beating me up :-X
-

I think this is a lousy time period for both shows. They're both sophisticated enough to be 9:30 shows, not 8 p.m. comedies. I think OUT OF PRACTICE is going in at 8 and ALEX at 8:30 if I read correctly.
The new Julia Louis-Dreyfus comedy is going into that protected hammock between TWO AND A HALF MEN and CSI: MIAMI. I haven't much liked the previews of that new show that I've seen, but I've read a couple of critics who have seen some episodes and say it's good.
-
Oh, COURTING ALEX tonight is a rerun of the pilot episode.

Reading the geographical discussion from DRS CILLALIZ and DAKOTA CELT reminded me of this shocking and X-rated newspaper headline:

Or better yet, when couple from the towns of Manly and Fertile were married
MANLY MAN MARRIES FERTILE WOMAN
-
Actually, no precipitation at all here.
Nor here. Something like 122 days now.

And Julian Sands joins the riveting '24' tonight as this season's chief bad guy. Should make a terrific show even better.

Sure! Maybe in the spring or summer we could meet half way....is there anything half way between here and there? I mean it would be South Dakota after all - well we could get off I-29 and go into Minnesota

Last night, my mom had gone to bed before NBC got around to showing the last group of ice dancers. The way I yelled when the Canadian woman fell on her hip, Mom thought someone had broken in and was beating me up :-X
Oh Ginny! The image of this really cracked me up...

Oh Ginny! The image of this really cracked me up...
Well, DR Cillaliz, it doesn't take much to make my mom think the worst. She once thought the sound of the automatic ice maker in my sister's refrigerator was gunshots in the driveway!

The Brady Bunch scampering about Kings Island amusement park in Cincinnati in search of missing blueprints... is there a better use of my day off? :D
-
DR GINNY - I hope you have a quiet dishwasher!
DR CILLA LIZ I would guess ALL the men in that town are Manly.
DRMATTH - I am distressed to read that CBS is messing up the Monday night schedule....I like OUT OF PRACTICE where it is, but as for seeking it out on another night - probably not! Julia Louis-Dreyfuss can get all the good reviews she wants to, but she is right DOWN THERE with Debra Messing for me...
-
No mail today... :(

I think my first two X rated movies were seen almost concurrently and, if memory serves, both in NY. The first was Coming Apart with Rip Torn and Sally Kirkland, and the second was, of course, Midnight Cowboy.
The sky is very blue here, but I'm not sure if it's warm or cold out, since I didn't arise until ten and have been dealing with IMs and e-mails and telephonic calls.
-
DR Dakotacelt - I'm not THAT far from you. We have lutefisk here too - and lots of Norwegians as well. I like it baked not boiled with lots of boiled potatoes and butter
The lutefisk or the Norwegians?
-
I think the first X-rated film I saw was Russ Meyer's film VIXEN, which I saw surprisingly enough at a drive-in in Ellensburg, Washington. Jed, maybe your mother and I........ never mind, too early.
As far as R rated movies, it was probably a toss-up between BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE or THE KILLING OF SISTER GEORGE. Hmm, one was one of the funniest movies i had seen at the time; the other was one of the most depressing movies I had seen at the time.
-
Frances Farmer - Broadway Golden Boy Page Two Dance!
Looks like they might be ice dancing! ;D
Nope, they are both standing up.

Please DR Matt, tell me that this is the end of both series, and not just the end of their seasons!

Since BK is not here at the moment, let me just say,
"Where in tarnation is everyone? You would think it was a holiday."
-
Nope, they are both standing up.
Ziinnggerrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! :)

Thank you , Jack.

It's a holiday? Who knew?

Hopefully there will similar antics this evening, and I can stay awake to see them!

Back from my jaunt to Wall Street. I was literally a block from Ground Zero, so I walked over in search of a subway on my return, took my first look at where the Trade Center once stood, burst into tears and left.
I'm so glad this happened after my meeting.
-
I would kill for a Central Pastry birthday cake with sugar roses!
Hmm...note to self...

I want cake, too.

Here's what I figured out for the rest of my day off: Sit down in family room to watch the women's hockey gold medal game and....fall asleep. Is it over? Who won? Oh, guess there's more!
-
DR SWW - "The Second Greatest Sex" is crooned in the movie - but my favorite is the one all the gals belt out after the old maid school marm (played by Edna Skinner) tells 'em all about Lysistrata. They decide to go on a "love strike" and move into the old abandoned fort....all except Cousin Emmy, the blacksmith, who don't cotton to menfolk no way no how...anyways.

Good Afternoon!
-I would wish Good Morning greetings to the West Coast contingent, but since it's already Afternoon there too...
;)
I ended up staying in bed until 2:00... Just felt tired. Actually, I've also been feeling something going on in my sinuses and throat the past few days, and it feels like it felt when I would get chronic low-level ear infections... I never felt any pain in my ears, but my sinuses and throat would get a little sore... So... I was always advised to rest as much as I could when I got them, so... Just playing it safe. However, I'm pretty sure the rather rapid return to winter weather has also contributed to my possible malady.
I am feeling better this afternoon, but if I happen to still feel a little "off" when I get up tomorrow morning, I may try to sneak in a visit to my doctor/uncle before heading back up to NYC.
-
...But I did have a nice leisurely brunch - scrambled eggs, whole wheat bagel, mission figs and green tea (China gunpowder)... And I read through The Washington Post. -So much happening in the world. Bad and Good.
-
Please DR Matt, tell me that this is the end of both series, and not just the end of their seasons!
I would say that the decision to renew them will be based on how OUT OF PRACTICE and COURTING ALEX do in these timeslots. If there is a significent improvement from the ratings those other two shows generated, then most certainly CBS will end them. On the other hand, I think they have KING OF QUEENS, YES DEAR, and STILL STANDING, all of which are on the bubble and probably not all will be renewed for next year, but they're going to keep the ones that rate the highest in these early slots. I think OUT OF PRACTICE is far superior to any of the others in quality, but CBS is only interested in ratings, and to the victor goes the renewal.

I see many many people but I do not see many many posts. Perhaps a nice group bitch-slapping from here to eternity and hell and back would get people off their butt cheeks, especially that bad boy William F. Orr who's been here for hours and hasn't posted. Don't make me come over there.

Speaking of illness, my fella started out with a cold and sniffles about 10 days ago. He pushed himself to go to work and not miss any days plus continuing to do his very active volunteer work as a museum tour guide and volunteer at a community theater.
He now has a full blown case of the flu and is very sick. Of course, he DID take a flu shot this year. Just goes to show what overwork and not getting enough rest will do to you!
-
DR elmore - Sorry about your troubles with the cabaret singer. :-\
And, yes, alas, unfortunately, 1099s have a later deadline than W-2s. Most companies will send them out by January 31 since their computers will just print them out with their W-2s, but then there are others...
I also believe that one can file a tax return without an actual copy of a 1099 - or at least it was that way at one point and time. -Maybe DR FJL can confirm or deny this. There was one year I had lots of 1099 income, and my accountant just ended up doing a listing on a separate piece of paper with the companies and amounts, and sent that in with the return. As long as she and/or I had a copy of the 1099 or at least proof of the income, that's all that was needed (since no taxes were withheld, they fall low on the government's tracking list, so to speak.) -At least that's what I told at the time... And since I was not audited...
Well, at least for amounts lower than $600... But..
OK.. I'll stop rambling and digging this hole now...
;)

Lunch ran very long this afternoon (driver had several errands to run while we were out), so I only had time to dub a DVD for a new acquaintance. One down one to go of the dubs that I must get done today so they can get mailed tomorrow.
-
I did manage to watch about 20 more minutes on the Barbara Cook/Bell Telephone Hour DVD. Quality of the excerpts isn't great, but I'm just delighted they still had this material. Many of the TONIGHT shows from the same period were erased by NBC, so I'm surprised they hung on to these old tapes.
-
Awww... You guys are the best. Thanks for the Good Health and Feel Better Vibes. I'm actually feeling OK. Just being cautious that's all. However, if I'm feeling sub-par tomorrow morning.... Well... Vibe Away!
;D
-
I think the first X-rated film I saw was Russ Meyer's film VIXEN, which I saw surprisingly enough at a drive-in in Ellensburg, Washington.
Ahh yes, the old Ellen Drive-In. How I wish it were still there. Sadly that land is now filled with some condos for residents age 55+, as well as a little complex of offices containing a doctor or two, a chiropractor, and some school district offices (that's what was there about a year ago, anyway).
-
The friend who drove today started having sniffles and a cough over the weekend, too. There seems to be something in the wind (a Deanna Durbin reference).

As for the Topic of the Day...
I was going to say "Jaws", but according to the IMDB, it's only a PG. Then I was going to say "Orca", but, again, just PG.
Then I realized that I'm pretty sure my parents would not have taken me and my brothers to an R-rated movie - and I remember seeing both "Jaws" and "Orca" at a drive-in movie with my parents. So...
I guess the first R-rated movies I can recall seeing would be ones I saw while I was in high school. And I watched them in class. And this was in a Catholic High School too! I remember watching "Ordinary People" in Father Luis Valdivieso's Sociology Class, and "Apocalypse Now" in AP English - with a nun in the room!
Hmmm... Now I'm wondering if "Ordinary People" was released today if it would still receive and R rating? Hmm..

DR elmore - Sorry about your troubles with the cabaret singer.
And you know who this is! All that nachtmusik!
-
Mission Figs & China Gunpowder.
That is the name of my new novel.
-
...But I do remember some of the hushed conversations that my parents would have with my adult relatives and their friends after they had seen a movie that they did not take me and my brothers to. I specifically remember them trying not to talk about "The Exorcist" in front of me and my brothers.
We were living in Seattle at the time, and my aunt, Tess, was staying with us at the time. My parents saw the movie one night while my aunt was the babysitter, and then my aunt saw it another night while my parents stayed home. I remember her being sort of freaked out, but didn't know why. And there were a few times when I would walk into the living room and they - my parents and my aunt - would stop talking... Hmm... Eventually, my aunt told me she had seen the movie. At that time, I didn't really know anything about it, so I just figured it was an "adult" thing and left it at that. However, a couple of years later when I found out what all the fuss was about, well... Ah!

And you know who this is! All that nachtmusik!

Back from my jaunt to Wall Street. I was literally a block from Ground Zero, so I walked over in search of a subway on my return, took my first look at where the Trade Center once stood, burst into tears and left.
I'm so glad this happened after my meeting.
I remember driving up to NYC a few months after 9/11 with some friends... Seeing the WTC was always the sign that I was very close to The City... It truly was a different landscape, different skyline... And still is.
-
Of all the cars I have seen, I wish I had a 1958 Chrysler Imperial convertible. *sigh*
-
I shall now be on my way to listen to some tapes, and then to have dinner with Miss Tammy Minoff, after which I shall return.
-
Now, as for X-rated movies... Hmm... Let's just say my father did not hide his video tapes very well from me and my very curious brothers. Oh, and my cousin, Alex, was quite the "adult" at age 14, and he managed to have some films on 8mm, and would show them to his friends in his bedroom.
And then he also managed to de-scramble some of the adult channels on the cable system. And there were those inevitable evenings spent watching the scrambled transmissions while hoping for a few moments of clarity every now and then.
HA! Boy were we immature!
*Of course, after a while, I realized I was not being entertained by the women in those movies...
::)

When I lived in New Jersey, the WTC was the last thing I saw at night before I fell asleep, and it was the first thing I saw in the morning when I opened my eyes. Well, most mornings! I have not been back to New York since 9/11, so I still don't know how I will react.
-
DR ELMORE - I think the next time I get to NYC, I will feel the same way.

When I'm sitting here at my home computer, just to my left is my WTC "triptych," a 3-photo frame that contains 3 photos that I took of the lower Manhattan skyline : Before (1967), taken from the Staten Island Ferry; During (1999), taken from the Statue of Liberty boat; and After (2004), taken from the Staten Island Ferry. Helps me keep things in perspective.

Concerned Clergy wants Perry Meridian High School to cancel its production of RAGTIME because it contains the "n" word. Concerned Clergy said that asked the school to change the word (which of course contractually, they CAN'T do).
The Superintendant of the school system says the play will go on. The Concerned Clergy will stage protests when the play opens on Thursday.
I only know that the bit of rehearsal they showed featured hip hop choreography and some inarticulate spokespeople from the cast....I think they may have been speaking English, but I'm not sure.
More when it becomes available.

The question is, DRJOSE - where is cousin Alex today?

TOD - I never saw Deep Throat, but one of the first local news stories I remember from when I moved to SW Ohio was the Hamilton County authorities agonizing over whether or not that movie was obscene. The sheriff and his deputies had to go see the film and then - just to be absolutely sure -
they had to go see it again :o
-
I went to Ground Zero in the Spring of 2002 and it was very very difficult for me. Last spring, we had a meeting at the Marriott Financial Center, so I spent 3 or 4 days and nights literally a block from there. I was amazed at the positive changes, the train station, the way places have been rebuilt or are in the process.
I did go see the sphere or orb. When I stayed at the Marriott World Trade Center in November 2000, my view was the sphere. So it was really interesting to go see it and the way it survived.
I realize I'm not a New Yorker, so the meaning may be different for me, but spending a number of days at ground zero and really focusing on how things are coming back to life and thinking about how amazing it is that even though there was such a tremendous loss, New York is so resilient and alive. It was actually uplifting. That may sound strange, but it always feels good to know that life goes on. The photo on my avatar is from that trip - when my friend Steve and I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and back before breakfast.
-
Actually that is wrong, I went in the Spring of 2003, not 2002

If only I was as skinny as I was when that photo was taken! Maybe I need to get an extension cord for my treadmill while I'm at Lowe's ....gotta go

No question MIDNIGHT COWBOY was my first X. I think BOYS IN THE BAND was an R, wasn't it? But I'm sure I saw some Rs before then. I just don't remember what they were. BOB AND CAROL AND TED AND ALICE probably.
MYRA BRECKINRIDGE was also an X, but COWBOY came first.
-
The question is, DRJOSE - where is cousin Alex today?
I believe he and his wife and two adorable sons are still living in the DC Metro area. He eventually cleaned up his act, but it took him a while. He was never really into drugs, drinking, smoking, etc - at least to my knowledge - but it took him a while to become a real adult. Truth be told, he was the bane of my existence when were in middle and high school - he was just two years older/ahead of me.. He was one of the "cool kids", and I was a "drama queer". But from what I gather, he's settled down in many ways, and all for the better.
-I actually haven't had any direct contact with him in a couple of years, and the last time I saw him was at the funeral for his mother. His eulogy - well, more like commentary - sort of pissed me off. -And it also upset my parents. He made some comment about how there were a lot of faces in the church that day that he had not seen in years, and how it was sad that "we" only came together during the difficult times. "Take a look at the faces around you, and decided whether you really want to spend time with the people around you." -I just wanted to say to him, "Well, it's a two way streak. I may not have been in contact with you over the past couple of years, but you haven't been in contact with me either..." It was just such a weird and inappropriate comment to make at a funeral.
OK... That's my Oprah moment for the day.

That's a wonderful sentiment, and I know exactly how you feel. It really is amazing at how "normal life" has resumed in New York City post-9/11. Sometimes it feels like nothing ever happened, and while it's never a good thing to forget, there is something comforting in that sense of continuity

This morning Craig’s girlfriend messaged on Yahoo with Keith and used her webcam at the same time. So this afternoon Keith picked up a webcam for us and we talked with both Craig and Ioana. It was so good to see his face again I almost cried. We also saw their cat and dog. This was the puppy left in their building when we were in Bucharest last September. He sure got big, the pup not Craig.
-
I have not seen any of the movies anyone has mentioned so far today.

Good Lord! Maybe we should call you Typhoid Matt!
Or more appropriately Influenza Matt! ;D

OK, off now to get the next DVD dub compelted so I can fix up the package for mailing tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure I've told this story before, but...
Before I left for that bus and truck tour of Anything Goes - remember that map? ;) - I bought a pair of webcams for me and Steve. -Actually, I believe the cams came in a two-pack now that I think of it. Well... This way we could say Goodnight - and sometimes Good Morning - "in person" to each other as I travelled across the country. I would even take pics on the bus. It was a great way to document my trip, and keep in touch with Steve at the same time. I also managed to take a lot of pics of various hotel room art. :P
-
Hmmm....thanks for the story DRJOSE.

Webcams are a great way to stay in touch.....yes, we ARE the Jetsons!

Here I am in my hotel room in Ruidoso, NM. I believe it was a Super 8. And there was also a Biker's Rally in town at the same time. And there was lots of "interesting" smoke in the hallways wafting from underneath the rooms doors.

We stayed in Ruidoso, but played up on the mountain in Alto, NM. The views from there were gorgeous! And the theatre complex itself was quite spectacular too. They had lots of Chihuly glass in the lobby.
-And here I am on the bus heading out of NM.

Oh, and here is a pic of our set in the theatre in Flint, Michigan.
-OHH!!! Now I remember, "Mom" was in Clinton Township, MI. However, Flint will forever be remembered for one of the scariest hotels I've ever stayed in. It was a TraveLodge, but by the time we had reached there, they had lost the franchise license, so it was just a TraveLodge. -The "Trave" was blacked out on the sign! Ah, memories.. :-\
In any case... here's the set from the balcony:

I admire the city for its resiliency, but I just looked at that huge emptiness, thought of everyone who died, and lost it! For about a year after 9/11, I couldn't pass a policeman or fireman/firehouse without breaking into tears. Such inhuman cruelty still amazes me.

It is called hometown favorites... They have different sodas, candies, etc that are not as readily available as they once were....

Had a nice treat on my journeys today... Was going to have a cup of coffee and I turned and looked at a beverage cooler and what did I see... Orange Crush!! I have not seen that in years in these parts. Off to get a bite to eat and put togehter the lamp i bought... This could get interesting. I just hope the instructions are in English and not Korean or Japanese.

I watched a very strange little movie last night on DVD. It was called STRAIGHT-JACKET, and, no, sorry MBarnum; there was no Joan Crawford or John Anthony Hayes in this version.
It is a comedy about a 1950s screen idol, like Rock Hudson, who happens to be gay, like Rock Hudson. So, to save his career, he marries the secretary of the studio head, like Rock Hudson.
It had a very likeable cast with: Matt Letscher, Jason Plotnick, Michael Emerson, and a very wonderful Carrie Preston. It was filmed in a very Fifties-style, with cardboard looking sets, very bright colors, and a very filmed-play style of camera work. There was some very funny moments in the movie, but boy, when they tried to get serious or deliver the message of the film, the movie kind of fell apart.
I know others. here, have said they had seen it, but I don't remember anybody's opinion.
-
TOD: I believe the first X-rated film I saw was CALIGULA, which I saw at the Avenue U movie theater in Brooklyn. I was very bored. First XXX movie was DEEP THROAT, which I still remember for its title song.
First R film I saw was, I believe, THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. I really didn't understand it then, but I had to see Barbra Streisand so my folks took me to see it.

I also managed to take a lot of pics of various hotel room art.

Ginny, we just finished (actually it was at about 5:30) dinner of left over tuna glop. It was very successful on Saturday and just as successful tonight. It was so successful that when we went shopping this afternoon as we walked down the aisles Anthony asked if we should get more Mac and Cheese so I can make tuna glop next week. Your recipie was a success! Of course, I can continue to make tuna glop (or chicken if I choose to experiment) as long as I continue to ride the exercise bike for an hour every day (or at least 4 days a week) or I will turn into a glop myself.
We had a very nice three day weekend, doing not much of anything. We watched 200 American (a Larry Moore gift) and like it. We watched Keeping Up Appearances and As Time Goes By on Channel 21 and Channel 13 (two PBS stations in the area) and we burned some CDs. Anthony is taking a break from making labels and booklets. He's watching a Lifetime Movie Network movie so I'm here catching up before I have to return to the grind tomorrow morning.

Don't you hate it when a song get's stuck in your head? For the last hour, the Belafonte song lyric "Matilda, she stole my money and moved Venezuela" won't go out of my head. The problem is, I don't know the rest of the stupid song. That Matilda!

Be careful what you order, Jrand. STRAIT-JACKET is Joan Crawford. STRAIGHT-JACKET is the Rock Hudson spoof. I would certainly watch STRAIGHT-JACKET a second time. Some of the lines are wonderful. And Veronica Cartwright is very butch and quite funny in the film.

Yes, I have Miss Joan Crawford's STRAIT JACKET....it had a great ad campaign....and some only-Joan moments! Thanks for the warning though, DR TCB.
Of course Joan's co-star was one Leif Erickson, ex-husband of you know who, and I'm only hoping she had the presence of mind not to wander into a theatre just to see what he was up to in 1964.

I just passed the lutefisk in the grocery stores... The Norwegians are everywhere!!
Dakota - I grew up in Estherville, IA. It's a lot more Norweigian than Sioux City is. I think we had 5 Lutheran Churches in a town of 8000 people. Some of our family's best friends were the Hendrickson's. The father in the family, Jerry was from somewhere near Fargo. So I had a lot of exposure to Nort Dakota while I was growing up.
-
And my babysitter when I was young was a woman in her 80s who grew up in North Dakota out on the plains in the late 1800s/early 1900s
-
Isn't there at least ONE Olympic competitor who is NOT making a comeback, suffering from an eating disorder, grieving for a lost relative, OR overcoming an addiction?

Was her name Laura? 8)
-
"Waltzing Matilda" - aka "Humping Your Bluey" and "Carrying Your Swag"
(Language differences are fraught!)
I hope you do better with the lyrics than did poor Jimmie Rodgers! He had to rerecord the song for Australian audiences.
The song has been a Top 40 hit here for:
Jimmie Rodgers
The Seekers
Frank Ifield
and Dame Edna had a version too.
-
((DR Jane))
Gotta love the good things about the internet and the related toys...
You bet. :D We don't get to see him very often living so far away.
-
...And I remember first coming across that song in one of my parents Reader's Digest songbooks.
I think my mother has the whole series of the RD Songbooks!
-
DR JRand55, why didn't you post the the real lyric? All these commercials I hear on tv lately have half-remembered songs as well, like "Daydream Believer" but I don't know where in my subconscious the Belafonte originated!
I thought it was the Monkees???
-
The one and only genuine original family band was from Dakota!
-
I have now stuffed myself with food and will plop on the couch like so much fishes and watch some motion picture entertainment.
I do have to say Matilda is one lucky woman to have so many men dicsussing her!!
I think I may also go and watch some vids on my night off...
Hmmm Wonder what I should watch-- aside from the Olympics...
-
Isn't there at least ONE Olympic competitor who is NOT making a comeback, suffering from an eating disorder, grieving for a lost relative, OR overcoming an addiction?
I think it's a requirement
-
Was her name Laura? 8)
LOL, actually Laura grew up in Minnesota, South Dakota and Kansas. My babysitter's name was Bertha
-
My grandmother's name was Bertha!
-
LOL, actually Laura grew up in Minnesota, South Dakota and Kansas. My babysitter's name was Bertha
She used to tell us stories about growing up on the Prairie. The one I've never forgotten is about a snake that bit a man so he bit the snake back. The snake died and the man lived. I could never quite figure that one out when I was little. Why on earth would anyone want to bite a snake?
-
LOL, actually Laura grew up in Minnesota, South Dakota and Kansas. My babysitter's name was Bertha
Oh well....geography...who needs it.....all I know is New York is west of Ohio...and New Orleans is on the Canadian border near Florida.
-
My grandmother's name was Bertha!
Do you have a mother or aunt named Gladys? That was her daughter's name. I never met her other children

No...not that I know of.

For fans of HOUSE, don't forget that a new episode is coming on tonight at 8 (rather than tomorrow night when it's preempted by the two hour AMERICAN IDOL semifinal round).
Thanks. I just checked and TIVO has it covered. I’m never 100% sure about TIVO. Last week it didn’t record COMMANDER IN CHIEF.
-
Very emotional interview with the Canadian couple....very touching to see.
-
Love Prokofiev....and those were nice costumes, too!
I know of which you speak. I was thinking to myself to look for a nice recording of Romeo and Juliet.
-
DR Jane, fun news about the webcam - what a great way for you to stay in touch
-
LOL! The Italian Couple (which includes She of The Killing Look) have not spoken to or practiced with each other all day long and they are about to skate together! This is must see TV!
-
I missed the interview with the Canadians - I was doing laundry!!! Yeah, well, sort of yeah he fixed the leak, but it's still leaking a little bit. Anyway, I was able to shower and am washing clothes. Today I am most happy with my plumber
-

Oh, I like the Russian Waltz of the Spirit costumes as well!

DR CILLA LIZ's plumber is leaking a little?
-
Wow did you see that look! The Silence continues....this really will be something to see
-
DR CILLA LIZ's plumber is leaking a little?
If he is I hope he does it at home!!! No, the water line into my washing machine is leaking a little. What, you couldn't read between the lines?
-
I know of which you speak. I was thinking to myself to look for a nice recording of Romeo and Juliet.
Me, too. I think I have some highlights on a CD....but no complete recording. Of course PT's will always be my favorite! ;D
When I was looking for GOLDEN BOY this afternoon, I found a 1958 RCA studio recording of SHOW BOAT with Howard Keel, Anne Jeffreys, and Gogi Grant. Grant is singing all the "Julie" songs and Anne is doing "Magnolia"...Howard also sings "Ol' Man River" in addition to Gaylord's songs. 8)
-
Ms. Crawford liked your tawdry films, as well.
I think she's in some of the ones in my VCR!
-
Wow, this is the first time I've seen a commercial for Walk the Line on TV....oh, it must be coming out on DVD Feb 28
-
Today I finally watched day two of the Westminster Dog Show and some of the ice skating. I’m finally up to the men’s long program.
Now I need to catch up with yesterday’s posts.
-

I am a member of the Society of Professional Journalists, I would rather speculate.
Wonder what song the Italians are using? Wonder if it's Friendship by Cole Porter? 8)

Did they ever find the dog that got loose at the Airport? Delta should pay for that one!
-
Cillaliz your babysitter sounds very interesting. Lucky you to have someone like her in your life at a young age.
-
I thought it was the Monkees???
"Daydream Believer" is the Monkees. "Matilda" is Belafonte.
-
DR BEN - I saw AS TIME GOES BY for the first time last Saturday....does he have a time travel thing going...or what is the deal?
I am hoping it was DRBEN who mentioned watching it....

DR JRand55, you are right...George Nader and Keith Andes are on my TV screen tonight...along with Mamie Van Doren! Isn't America wonderful! LOL!
I am watching THE SECOND GREATEST SEX which I now consider a very underrated 1950s musical!

Isn't that sad?
-
When I stopped the tape for a moment I found Lisa Gaye on my TV screen telling Van Williams that she loves bonefish!?!
-
I know of which you speak. I was thinking to myself to look for a nice recording of Romeo and Juliet.
If you want the complete ballet on 2 CDs, I recommend either the cleveland symphony with Lorin Maazel or the Royal Philharmonic conducted by Ashkenazy, who's got a real flair for Prokofiev.
-
Nice Phantom routine, but boy howdy they need a new music editor!
-
TOD:
I can't remember seeing an X rated movie in a movie theatre. I probably didn't see one until there were video rental stores.
I think the first R rated movie I saw was DAY OF THE LOCUST.
I cannot remember the title of the first XXX movie I saw in a porn theatre. I was a little bit--er, mind altered and extremely nervous about sneaking in (I was only 16.) I remember it had something to do with the adventures of a couple of babysitters.
-
Isn't that sad?
Not as sad as Mamie Van Doren in the movie DR MBARNUM is watching! Thanks for the R/J recording suggestion!
-

DRJRand55, how was the HMS PINAFORE recording?

DakotaCelt did you send Walmart a letter with the names of the offending employees? I might have slugged the first employee upon being grabbed.
-
Uh-oh, here we go!
-
DRJRand55, how was the HMS PINAFORE recording?
I love it!!! ;D Sorry, I thought I posted that!
-
Italians get an F for their music choice. UGH!

Thanks for the link DRELMORE.

Good Evening!
And the Ice Dancing continues...
Hmm...
There are times tonight when I'm not bothered by the commentator's comments.
;)
-
Awwwwwww--that's nice...
-
Now they are hugging and kissing and crying on the ice....sheesh!
-
If you want the complete ballet on 2 CDs, I recommend either the cleveland symphony with Lorin Maazel or the Royal Philharmonic conducted by Ashkenazy, who's got a real flair for Prokofiev.
Thanks you, DR Elmore. I will look into these on Amazon and decide.
-
Does that Italian guy have a big gash on his forehead or what?
-
Hmmm--what was that deduction for?
-
I think for work on Saturday, I am going to stick a bunch of shiny rocks on my forehead. What d'ya think?
-
DR JRand - If you'd like a single-disc recording of the Prokofiev "Romeo & Juliet", I'm rather partial to the suite that Michael Tilson put together and recorded with the San Francisco Symphony on RCA. And it's been reissued as part of their mid-priced series.
Otherwise, I agree with DR elmore about the Lorin Maazel recording. It's a complete recording, and I believe that it is part of Decca/London's 2-for-1 series.
-
Hmmm--what was that deduction for?
Etiquette and good breeding. 8)
-
Thanks DRJOSE....I am taking the list to Half Price Books on Wednesday and then if I am not successful there, across the street to Best Buy. The first one I see wins!
-

With all the talk earlier about Tuna Glop, I am sorry I didn't keep the recipe. Can someone either repeat it or remind me what day it was posted and I can go find it? Thanks
-
Goodnight DRJANE!

My favorite XXX film title was THE NUN'S BAD HABIT.
I also seem to remember ads for A PORNUS LINE back in the mid-1970's, although I didn't see that one.
-
I wish I could get a clip from A PORNUS LINE as a page 10 dance. :)
-
Hey, one of these skatin' gals has tassals hanging on her teles!
-
Looking forward to the mens 1500 speed skate tomorrow. The USA male speedskaters seem to get along about as well as the Italian Ice Dancers and there are 4 of them in the 1500

Kindred has a lot of Hendriksons... Could also be Horace, Harwood, or Durbin.
I bet you have heard your share of Ole and Lena Jokes...
-
An Error on Your Twizzle.
That's the name of my new theme song.
-
My dad and another guy used to do a Sven and Ole routine. My dad played a ukelele and sang "I VANT TO GO VERE THE LUTEFISK GO" and they told the Sven and Ole and Ole and Lena jokes
-

Oh... It appears Andre Previn's recording with the London Symphony was reissued by EMI in another 2-for-1 package a year ago.
Decisions, Decisions.

Some of my Ole and Lena jokes are not fit for the boards... Some males here would be a tad offended...

DR Jose,
I purchased some nice and tasty blue chips!!!

How can a Russian team train in New Jersey? I don't understand....

Not to be a pain in the neck CPA/tax attorney, but strictly speaking, it really seems to have been the position of the IRS that it's the responsibility of the person filing a Schedule C to keep track of their income throughout the year. It's supposed to be income from your business as a "self-employed" person, and it's supposedly the notion that you're running it like a business that allows someone the deductions he or she might take. The IRS actually has, in the case of some of our clients whose returns were being audited for other reasons, asked for bank statements of people with Schedule C's rather than just accepting the total of that person's 1099's, so if someone is self-employed, you probably need to be able to account for just about every deposit you make to your bank accounts. :(
-
Kindred has a lot of Hendriksons... Could also be Horace, Harwood, or Durbin.
I bet you have heard your share of Ole and Lena Jokes...
Here's my favorite:
Ole came home early from work one day to find Lena sitting on the bed naked.
"Holy jumpin' Jehosepats! Lena, vat are you doing sittin' there in your all-together like that in the middle of the day?"
And Lena says, "It's because I don't have anythin' nice to vear. All my dresses are rags."
And Ole says, "Vat do you mean you have nothin' nice to vear? Look here in your closet here--here's a nice yellow dress, here's a nice blue dress with little flowers, here's our neighbor Sven, here's your nice Sunday dress..."
-
I liked the Bulgarian costumes.
-
Neat... I have heard that song before. There was a local comedian that use dto sing that...
Some of my Ole and Lena jokes are not fit for the boards... Some males here would be a tad offended...
Yea, you know how SENSITIVE we are! ;D
-
LOL DR DtM!
-
When I stopped the tape for a moment I found Lisa Gaye on my TV screen telling Van Williams that she loves bonefish!?!
Nope, not going to say it.
-
I saw that about Curt Gowdy. I remember my dad was not especially fond of him or Chris Schinkel as commentators. Sorry that he has left us.
-
I thought STRAIGHT JACKET was a noble effort, but it pretty much missed the mark for me though I am a big fan of Matt Letscher. I wouldn't mind watching it again to give it another chance.
-
Here's another:
The telephone ring and Lena picks it up.
"Hello, Lena! It's Ole! You will never guess where I am calling from! I'm in the car! I bought one of those new fangled car phones. I'm talkin' to you while I am drivin' home!"
And Lena says, "Oooh, Ole--be careful! They just announced on the radio that there's a nut out there who's driving on the wrong side of the highway!"
And Ole says, "A nut! Hell, there must be a hundred of 'em!"
-
Nope, not going to say it.
Then this might be a good time for me to tell about fixing my downstairs toilet today. I had to yank out the old ballcock and insert a new doohicky. It's a pleasure to flush it now. :)
-
DR JRand, I think with those two extra numbers on the front of the GOLDEN BOY numbers, you have the original reissue. I bought a later reissue with different numbers.
The best way to tell is to simply play "Night Song" and see if Sammy's voice is hoarse or smooth. Do you have a working turntable?
-
BTW, my GOLDEN BOY later reissue LP has Sammy Davis' face (done in a drawing rather than a photo) on the front cover rather than the original GOLDEN BOY logo with the deawing of Joe and Lorna hugging.
-
Here's my favorite:

Got the last DVD dubbed, and the package is now ready for mailing tomorrow.
I'm using a new brand of DVDs, and the first one I tried shut down my machine for a couple of minutes after it had been recording for a minute or two. Had to start all over again with a new blank, but it seemed to work perfectly.
-
Next I watched HOUSE, an episode that was chock full of surprising revelations.
-
Wow! The American couple were shaking booty out there!
I would say that about most of the skaters tonight. Exciting skating, choreography and music choices. Much better costumes, too!
-
I was on the edge of my seat for about 75% of '24' tonight, and the other 25%, I was just squirming out of anxiety. The show has generated the most amazing consistency of tension this season that I can ever remember.
-

Due to the recent improvement in employment status for both DG Ann and myself, we have found ourselves in the market for a new apartment. Our current one-bedroom shoebox was just fine and dandy when it was Ann's by herself, and has sufficed for the two of us, but we would be much happier with a little more space. And by golly, I do believe we've found our new home.
It's a nice two bedroom with a load of storage space, a bigger living room than we currently have, a kitchen that two people can actually stand in at once (as opposed to our current postage stamp), will soon be equipped with free high-speed internet, and has a lovely, large balcony with a very nice view of both the water and mountains. Our rental application is in, and we have an appointment to sign the lease tomorrow night. We even get the first month's rent free!
One other interesting thing about this particular place... we'll be sharing a living room wall with some guy who goes by the name of TCB... ;D

If BK were here and saw all the folks that are signed on now, he might have opened the chat room!

DR MATTH - it IS the reissue. Sammy sounds smooth and mellow...and it is on the Capital Orange label....I think the original would be on the Capital black label with the rainbow rings like the old Beatles albums...and the fine print on the back says....manufactured by Columbia House under license from Capital Records...says the same thing on the label. I think I have a Record Club edition of the album!

I suspected as much as soon as you mentioned the drawing of his face. Thanks just the same. I'll hear those tracks one of these days.

Great news, DRs ANN & JED!! Remember don't take your OLD broom to your new house. Buy a new broom...or better yet, DRTCB....make them a present of a new broom AND a box of salt!
So if you can't take an old broom....what about the vacuum cleaner? or the electric broom?
-
There goes the neighborhood!
Ya know, DR TCB, that in DRs Ann & Jed's sitcom that you are now the wacky neighbor.

The new electronic gadgets are welcome. They don't hold the symbolism and power the old tools do.

'night, y'all!

Manager-guy says he hopes to have it fully installed by the middle of March. Hope he's on the level about that...

Congrats on the apt Ann. I'm off to get some sleep. Back to the salt mines in the morning.

I went to the Blockbuster today and rented Bride and Prejudice!
I haven't watched it yet.
I did watch Elizabethtown which wasn't bad... I am suprised it did so badly in the theatres....maybe if they had thrown in a few explosions or a couple of sex scenes..... :(
-
Travel Vibes and Health Vibes to Jose

We went to see Nanny McPhee today. It was really fun! Woody and derB. I suggest you take the grandlads to see it.
-
Oh and Mike, it should be a nice day out for you and your neice as well !

TOD: The first R rated film that I saw was Carnal Knowledge. I shocked my mother when I told her that I had seen it. Then again, she shocked easily. (I was attending college at the time, in Fresno of all places.)
This always reminds me of the "All In the Family" episode when Archie and Edith went to see it, thinking they were going to see something called "Carnival Knowledge!"
-
I watched a very strange little movie last night on DVD. It was called STRAIGHT-JACKET, and, no, sorry MBarnum; there was no Joan Crawford or John Anthony Hayes in this version.
It is a comedy about a 1950s screen idol, like Rock Hudson, who happens to be gay, like Rock Hudson. So, to save his career, he marries the secretary of the studio head, like Rock Hudson.
It had a very likeable cast with: Matt Letscher, Jason Plotnick, Michael Emerson, and a very wonderful Carrie Preston. It was filmed in a very Fifties-style, with cardboard looking sets, very bright colors, and a very filmed-play style of camera work. There was some very funny moments in the movie, but boy, when they tried to get serious or deliver the message of the film, the movie kind of fell apart.
I know others. here, have said they had seen it, but I don't remember anybody's opinion.
I think someone may have seen it and mentioned it here. This is in my Netflix queue.

I've been sort of watching the ice dancing and I just realized that many of them are skating to vocal music. I thought that they weren't allowed to use vocal music in the Olympics. When did this change?
It was quite a while ago, wasn't it? I am so unobservant.
-
I've been trying to catch up and I'm only up to Page 9. Only four more to go. :)

Rodzinski... we had to have been at the same IKEA, there is only one on Long Island. You were in Hicksville! I wonder if we were there at the same time! The Cheescake Factory where you ate is in the next parking lot from the Best Buy where Vixdad bought the computer doohickey (and that is in Westbury!)

Due to the recent improvement in employment status for both DG Ann and myself, we have found ourselves in the market for a new apartment. Our current one-bedroom shoebox was just fine and dandy when it was Ann's by herself, and has sufficed for the two of us, but we would be much happier with a little more space. And by golly, I do believe we've found our new home.
It's a nice two bedroom with a load of storage space, a bigger living room than we currently have, a kitchen that two people can actually stand in at once (as opposed to our current postage stamp), will soon be equipped with free high-speed internet, and has a lovely, large balcony with a very nice view of both the water and mountains. Our rental application is in, and we have an appointment to sign the lease tomorrow night. We even get the first month's rent free!
One other interesting thing about this particular place... we'll be sharing a living room wall with some guy who goes by the name of TCB... ;D
CONGRATULATIONS!! and...what a small world. ;)

I stand corrected. I am sorry.
-

Well, to my untrained eye, they just skated a flawless routine. Very good...and the crowd loved them. :)
-
I have now caught up. Just had to share.
-
I stand corrected. I am sorry.
Don't be sorry, i am such a lousy typist I figured you just assumed it was a typo, with me ut usually is!! I just mentioned that i found it becasue MBarnum is always mentuioning movies that I can;t find at Blockbuster and I finally found one!

So far, so good! Today, I actually made a couple of purchases, as well! I bought the DVDs to "Blazing Saddles" and "Contact," and a comedy CD by a guy named Daniel Tosh. It's called "True Stories I Made Up (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BKDNVW/sr=8-1/qid=1140506039/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-4779504-7364131?%5Fencoding=UTF8)" and includes a CD and DVD.

DR MATTH - I have the Golden Boy LP - had it for YEARS - but have never listened to all of it. If I can find someone who can put it on cassette for you, I will make you a copy. I will keep you posted.
I can put it on cassette...and CD. :)
DR MATTH - it IS the reissue. Sammy sounds smooth and mellow...and it is on the Capital Orange label....I think the original would be on the Capital black label with the rainbow rings like the old Beatles albums...and the fine print on the back says....manufactured by Columbia House under license from Capital Records...says the same thing on the label. I think I have a Record Club edition of the album!
I suspected as much as soon as you mentioned the drawing of his face. Thanks just the same. I'll hear those tracks one of these days.
I just checked my copy and I have the VAS-2124 (mono) edition, as well as the BK re-issue. There is a noticeable difference between the two versions. Of course, the album being in mono and having lots of pops throughout the whole thing doesn't help. :P And either my record changes speed by itself or some songs are in different keys. "Night Song" is a half-step lower on the Cd. On the next song, "Everything's Great", both versions are in the same key. Hmm.... ::) On the third song, "Gimme Some," the album is in a lower key as well as "Stick Around," but that sounds like it's a third lower. What gives?
-
Holy moley on rye if we haven't had us a frenzy since I left at 1:45. It took me a half-hour to read all the posts (we were on page four when I left!), but I'm caught up and now I must write the notes. Shall we go for 400 before midnight?
-
Just checked my own copy of "Golden Boy".
I have the Capital recording in stereo. I doubt if I've played it more than once! I would have purchased it second hand about 15 years ago.
At least it's another post.
-
I just noticed that the set designs and costumes were by Mr Tony Walton.
-
I doubt if I have seen the film version of Clifford Otes play either.
I always seem to confuse "Golden Boy" with "Mr Wonderful".
-
If I had made that two posts we would be at 400!
-
Drat!

I haven't seen either of those, either...and I always confuse "Golden Boy" with "The Man With the Golden Arm." :o
-
I throw "The Body Beautiful" into the mix as well DR George.

bk, looks a bit surprised!
