Our first movie watched for the New Year was French film "Strange Gardens" (2003). Poignant, charming, Nostalgic, funny and a total delight.

I'm watching cheese - The Awakening. I love any movie with a prologue that runs over thirty minutes, almost a third of its running time.

Good Afternoon!

Jojo's packing up
Jojo's moving out...

*I figured I'd used my nickname since "Jose's packing up..." just doesn't have the proper ring to it.

Get back Jojo
Back to where you once belonged.

I hope New York is good to you in 2007 Jose.

In any case...

I've made some great progress... The closets are empty - save for the shirts and coats I'm keeping on their hangers. The dressers are emptied, and the contents have been boxed and "luggaged". I just have to box up the pots and pans I brought down with me, and then it will be time to take care of the always dreaded "little things". However, I think I shall have everything packed up within the next couple of hours.

And then I need to make a few trips out to my parents' house to stash some of this stuff. -I'll pick it up next week when I get the moving van.

OH! And I got three loads of laundry done too! I figured I might as well get that done while I was packing things up. The joys of multi-tasking!

Thank you, DR Tomovoz.

-And I still remember the first time I had had heard that song. I eventually taped it off the radio (to cassette), and played it over and over again just to make sure they were singing "Jojo".

Hopefully, when film is done there will be a few postings to peruse.

I've eaten some almonds for lunch.

...Alas, even though some of my grade school - and high school - classmates would make reference to that song when "referring" to me, the worst was when some zoo in Connecticut acquired a new gorilla. Whose name happened to be "Jojo". -Even my parents got a kick out of that.

I have three episodes of "Battlestar Galactica" to watch (finally!). After that, I'm going to my parents' house for an early dinner.

Just back from SPRING AWAKENING. I guess the plot points I had problems with in the last 20 minutes are just there and that's that. But I'm afraid I'm going to be one of those people I often cringe about - the kind that says ignore how thoroughly hope-free the show's ending is and how rotten it might make you feel when you leave the theater, and see it for the superlative telling of the story.

I'm having a very relaxing day. Mr. Nick Redman should be here at five, and we'll head over to the party by six or so.

Sometimes I like her and sometimes I dont. I do have to say she is straightforward and her tips are useful.

Thoroughly hope-free and makes me feel rotten....gee, can't wait to see it

FJL · « **Reply #170 on:** January 01, 2007, 03:12:25 PM »

Cilla - Let me expand on it and say, if you love musical theater, see it for the superlative telling of a very relevant story.

FJL · « **Reply #171 on:** January 01, 2007, 03:13:21 PM »

It's the bitch of looking for great theater. Sometimes it just depresses the heck out of you.

Back from picking up my pal Gregg at the airport. His plane was on time and there were no problems.

Matt H. · « **Reply #173 on:** January 01, 2007, 03:16:49 PM »

We stopped at a Chineswe buffet on the way home, and both ate to bursting. This particular buffet doesn't do every dish well, but they have the best almond cookies I've ever tasted. I always look forward to them more than the other food on the buffet (though some of it was also very good).

Matt H. · « **Reply #174 on:** January 01, 2007, 03:18:01 PM »

Before I headed to the airport, I did have time to watch some fun things.

I began with some CSI episodes to finish out disc 4. One involved a body found stuffed in a fireplace, a very entertaining mystery with a very poignant ending.

Matt H. · « **Reply #175 on:** January 01, 2007, 03:20:10 PM »

Another CSI episode involved the story of a hit man who right after the hit was performed was involved in a traffic accident with a teenager (the teen's fault), and whom he also had to kill when she insisted on reporting the accident to the police.

This one wasn't a mystery but instead a somber story of a doomed soul.

DR td's New Year's Day dinner sounds like what I'll be having. I shall shortly travel over to the house of my oldest sister and dine with my family on pork and saurkraut, an age old tradition.

Some of my fondest memories of Philadelphia - New Years day and all of South Philly smelled of saurkraut and pork! My cousin hosted about 30-40 family members and hangers-on after the Parade - it was a non-stop assembly line that ran for much of the day. (Quite a logistical nightmare considering she lived in a second floor three room apartment.)

And the third episode was a disturbing one involving genetic experimentation by a neo-Nazi on a host of unwilling subjects. A creepy episode made discomforting by the experiments with people's eyeballs that were viewed in extreme close-up on camera.

With about thirty minutes to go, I put in another True-Life adventure short, this one called MYSTERIES OF THE DEEP, a fascinating half hour of some really interesting undersea life and their struggle for survival. This one could have been hours longer and not bored me at all.
