Ladies and Gents:

A double entry of Juliana's Journal has just gone up. FYI, we are now as current as Juliana has let us be, as we are expecting more entries very soon....

Thank you, DR Jrand, for loading the pics of MY FAIR LADY.

Before I forget I've got to go reset a couple of clocks for tomorrow. It's getting close to bedtime on this side of the country.

I'm back from dinner with friends.

We ended up at this awwwwfffuuulll over-priced low-quality steak house ("Le Biftèque" if Jennifer wants to know) because one of my friends was feeling nostalgic for the restaurant her parents used to take her to for "important occassions".

I made the unfortunate choice of having a small steak. Of course said steak was chock-full of meat tenderizer (which I am allergic to).

Now I am under considerable intestinal duress and will probably be in such a state for the next couple of hours.

More information than you needed or wanted, I know. But I need to get my 25 posts somehow! (and I certainly can't go to sleep under such adverse conditions!)

Julianna is a HOCKEY fan? Wow... that was a pleasant surprise...

Here I was thinking I was the only one around here (yes - I realize the stereotype of the Canadian hockey fan!)

Emily · « **Reply #154 on:** October 25, 2003, 08:31:53 PM »

Okay... I'm sorry for the vanity post - but this one'll bring me to 25 and I can not wait!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree that DR MBarnum is good looking enough to be Cal Bolder's son. And he certainly seems to know enough about the actor to have contributed a great deal of information to Brian's Drive-In Theater site. Perhaps Francois has stumbled on to something!

But whatever the relationship, I am just grateful to MBarnum for introducing me to the career(?) of Mr. Bolder.

Back from the party, which was nice. They had about six authors there, signing their various and sundried books.

I'm now eating quite a bit of Chinese food and watching an extremely cheesy "Godfather" clone called The Don is Dead, which is not the story of the passing of Don Wilson.

Is Tom from Oz lurking at this site again?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #158 on:** October 25, 2003, 09:22:40 PM »

Maybe we should have more pictures of Mr Bolder's son! (Just thinking of a few other DRs as is my nature!).

François · « **Reply #159 on:** October 25, 2003, 09:29:23 PM »

Yes, that was "Peeping" Tom from Oz!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #160 on:** October 25, 2003, 09:34:01 PM »

What a strange movie was "Peeping Tom". I saw it at a Drive-In cinema many years ago. I am back. Very strange events re my computer story. Still don't really know what happened and is happening. Hope to see you all next week.

MBarnum, that first picture you posted of Cal has a marked resemblance to you, young man. A square jaw, that short haircut, lips slightly parted to show just enough teeth, he's wearing a leather something around his neck and your shirt is open in much the same manner. Are you sure you didn't have a secret life as a B-movie hunk in the 50s???

Don't be fooled Ben! LOL! It is just good lighting!!

But I gave you a karma for making my day!

Isn't there any emitiocon for [move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]D-R-O-O-L-? ? ?[/move]

Hmmm...maybe I should post a Cal Bolder picture of the day! LOL!

I am sure he would be pleased to know he has so many new fans!

MBarnum · « **Reply #163 on:** October 25, 2003, 09:49:49 PM »

TCB,
If you are enjoying the still photo of Cal Bolder go and get ye the new DVD of JESSE JAMES MEETS FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER...you won't be disappointed by Cal's performance LOL!

We need some late-night dwellers here at haineshisway.com. I am still watching the fershluganah The Don is Dead. And I'm still picking away at my Orange Chicken.

Jeans and a Kritzerland t-shirt.

td · « **Reply #165 on:** October 25, 2003, 10:07:18 PM »

I'm a late-night dweller. . .but tonight it's only because I watched THE MATRIX RELOADED. It was long. The fight scenes made me think of dancing. Carrie-Ann Moss is better than her material, KeeNuNu is not. Heart-pounding action, quickly paced and a perfect way to end the evening.

Now that DST is here though, it's 2:00AM!!!! Must sleep. Must dream of Cal Bolder

Or will I dream of MBarnum?

Maybe, I'll dream of Maderlay.

Well I almost CinemaScoped us again...but with a CinemaScope title card from "There's No Business Like Show Business" -- I guess it's just TOO BIG for these here environs!

But I'm feeling a bit "Wicked"......

Hello everybody! This is the first time I've gotten to sit down and read posts all day. It's been a long, been a long, been a long, been a long day! (Ooh a How to Succeed reference!) Today was Homecoming for my old high school, so a bunch of alumni decided to go back and visit for the parade, game, and (for a few of us) the dance. It was wonderful to see old friends, and it was even pleasant to see some people with whom I wasn't that close. Everyone seemed to dismiss all of the pettiness from high school, which was quite appreciated. In some ways, it seemed as if we had never left. (Yes, some nostalgia set in!) Overall, it was quite a pleasant day.

At the dance, which three of my close friends and I decided to attend about four hours before it began, I spotted...you guessed it!...Swishy Sarah! She looked gorgeous in her sparkly strapless dress, and her hair, which was in a French twist, was so elegant! We talked for a few minutes, but I didn't want her to talk too much as you can easily tell that she hardly has a voice.

I wanted her to stay quiet as much as possible so not to damage that phenomenal voice of hers! I asked if she had anything more to relay to all the dear readers, but she told me she was able to sneak on and post. Hopefully we will be hearing from her very soon! I have a feeling that she's determined to bring that grade up quickly!

Other things to say before I must go to bed:

DR Danise, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

DR TCB: Yes, the guy in the picture really is Josh Hartnett! (Or as some like to say, Josh Hott-nett. You're definitely right--he is a hottie!) I met him at the 92nd Street Y, where my uncle works. (The guy in the background on the left is my uncle.) Basically, during the Tony Awards, my mom found out from my aunt (who was staying with my uncle--their bro) that Josh was going to be in Manhattan the day after my birthday. He is one of the few celebrity guys about whom I can act even a bit "teenybopperish." Anyway, he was part of a panel discussion, and my uncle got me a ticket and also finagled a way for me to escort Josh in. I was almost in Heaven! Josh's limo arrived about 35-40 minutes late, so I only got to meet him for about 5 minutes, but I was completely and utterly satisfied! Oh, and I think it's funny that you said it looks like we were about to go on a date because my uncle has that picture up in his apartment, and his friends actually thought I was dating Josh due to the way it appears realistic, I guess! I don't know, but it made me happy!

What is this going to bed early on a Saturday night, especially when we gain an hour. I shall be up, let's have discourse or, that the very least, datcourse.

Laura II · « **Reply #173 on:** October 25, 2003, 11:22:02 PM »

Happy birthday to DR Jed!

Where is our discourse?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #175 on:** October 25, 2003, 11:33:43 PM »

So little to do, so much time (Ooh! Ooh! Isn't that a "Willy Wonka..." reference?)

I've been going through disks and disks of saved images (stuff I found on eBay that I was outbid for, or that I won, or that I could never afford so saved pictures for the memory).

I love this photo-attaching demon that's taken hold. But what to post, what to post? Therein lies the dilemma. I don't have any Cal Bolden's up my sleeve; and I don't have any June Wilkinsons, either.

Since François enjoyed my "Lili" still (a most unusual item, that), I'm going to share now a color poster that shouldn't tax the resources of this here board too much!

Well, I'm off to usher for "Stories from Mama's Table." It's two different women's a cappella choirs, one is from the U.S. (maybe even Washington state, I'm not sure) and the other is from Eastern Europe. They're singing about the stories that women tell around the dinner table...or at least it has something to do with passing on stories while eating. It sounds quite interesting and I've heard that both groups are very good! I'll check back in afterwards.

My evening, part 1: Okay, I got some of the details (above) wrong. Both groups are from California. Also, the evening was called "Songs from Mama's Table" and the Washington Center (where they performed tonight) says:

The passage and transmission of cultural traditions has often centered on food and the activities of the kitchen. Two of America's celebrated a cappella vocal ensembles join forces for this cross cultural event.

Through 20 years of performing, acclaimed recordings and an appearance on the Braveheart soundtrack, Kitka has specialized in the women's vocal music of Bulgaria, Russia, and Eastern Europe, thrilling listeners with "celestial earbending harmonies."

My evening, part 2 [yes, I'm padding! I'm almost to 25 posts (as of this post)]:

Linda Tillery's Grammy-nominated group, The Cultural Heritage Choir, sings traditional music of black America—spirituals, work songs, slave songs—with power and authority, producing "beautifully sung, historically important roots music." (San Francisco Examiner) The two groups close the program singing together in a rapturous otherworldly Afro-Balkan fusion. "The Cultural Heritage Choir is something special... Kitka’s celestial harmonies evoke a world of rugged beauty." San Francisco Examiner[/i]

We ushers were told that the evening would be about 2 hours long, including the intermission. Well, the show started at about 7:35, the first act lasted 1 hour and 15 minutes and the show ended at about 10:15! But it was great. The harmonies, the voices, the intonation were all incredible. It was entirely a cappella except for one number where they used a couple of violins...otherwise they only had their voices and a few percussion instruments.

If anyone gets a chance to see either of these groups,
GO SEE THEM!
