Next came THE ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN, and everything I had read about the magnificent Technicolor in this new DVD transfer was true. It is stunningly beautiful, and the transferis also very sharp and completely cleaned up. Looks like it could have been filmed last week.

Of course with such clarity, Errol Flynn's aging looks become all too obvious with lines in his face and a roundness to his facial features.

Nice to see Una O'Connor, Raymond Burr, and Alan Hale among the supporting cast and Vivica Lindfors with about a 16 inch waist as the Queen of Spain.

Jewelry ought to be a no-no, since it's intended to contact the skin.

Actually, in the case at hand, the lead paint is covered by a decorative plastic coating (which of course any toddler could/would chew through).

Lead, asbestos, and mercury all have one insidious quality in common - their toxic effects are cumulative!

Note: this lead deal and the Pet food scare really point up the difficult problems ahead when we import so much of our consumer goods. Paasing laws to fix blame/liability is easy; implementing procurement and import inspection routines is a lot tougher.

After enjoying the magnificence of a beautiful three strip Technicolor transfer of DON JUAN, I wanted to watch another, so I went to the to-watch shelf and pull THE YEARLING out. Another movie I haven't watched all the way through in a long time. It's over two hours, and I only got a few minutes of it watched so far, but I'm looking forward to seeing those lovely Florida locations in the scenes to come.

This lead paragraph from an article I just read in VARIETY about upcoming cancellations:

"It was a Bloody Monday in TV land as the nets delivered bad news to the casts and crews of several skeins, including "The Wedding Bells," "Six Degrees," "7th Heaven" and "The Black Donnellys."

The article went on to say that WEDDING BELLS will air once more, BLACK DONNELLYS twice more, but that SIX DEGREES is canceled immediately. 7th HEAVEN will finsh out the season but is not being renewed.

Here in Tacoma (as I'm sure it is true in North Dakota), our supermarkets have entire aisles of gourmet cheeses. Shelf after shelf, as far as the eye can see, stacked with nothing but Velveeta!

Keith should write a book:

"Bringing up Jane - the never-ending story"

LOL-I won't mention the book idea to him. I think he would have way too much fun, at my expense.

MattH, if you're getting online via AOL, there is sometimes a loss of synch that occurs, and the only way around it is to restart.

I've now done five pages - I'll probably do a couple more in a while. For now, I think I'll take me a little break.

It's about time for me to head for home. If I'm not online tonight, it'll be due to the severe thunderstorms that are predicted. They're saying we may have some snow

(Not really...just wish I could distract him enough to pay attention to our spots instead of his golf game or fantasy football league or whatever the hell else keeps him from giving me the right information and costing me time I do not have. Argh.)

Did you realize that Moses led the children of Israel around for so many years because the Lord didn't want the Israelites who were in Egypt to actually enter Israel themselves, as punsihment for the Golden calf.

Bummer.

And where else on the internet are they giving out such info this morning?

Back in the 70's, my Jewish roommate and I went to Las Vegas for a few days (my one and only visit so far). The first morning, the desert air was so hot, that we decided to take a swim to cool off. When we got to the pool; it was surrounded by chaises lounges and on top of them were an entire sea of Jewish noses.

My roommate noticed by shocked expression and said, "Why do you think it took us 40 years to get to the Promised Land!"

Yesterday DR Jennifer said "I bet if you polled the people watching every single person would say that they think the judges votes count for 50% of the votes."

Last night during the show they said the judges score counts for 50 percent of the total the phone calls are the rest.

They said that the first week, also.

Oh, and BK, if you're sampling cheeses, gorgonzola makes a very nice salad dressing.

There is a new Italian restaurant in town (not so new, we took DR Tomovoz and DP Colin to eat there) that serves an incredible gorgonzola salad dressing. And the food is pretty good, too. You can ask Colin or Ann about the desserts.

That makes sense though I wasn't getting on via AOL this afternoon. (I did this morning when I logged off and put the computer in standby mode.)

I just found a photo of Carnegie-Mellon. It looks like a pretty campus.

I’m trying to find a doggie day care program in the area. It’s not easy long distance & not knowing where anything is located. So far only one place I have called actually had a person answer the phone. I’m not leaving messages, yet.

When I return from L.A. we’ll decide if Keith can handle my leaving again to meet Craig in NY. I wish I felt comfortable putting the dog on the flight between NY & Pittsburgh.

A few days ago, some DR had asked about the critical reception on Curtains. According to Variety, it got 5 "pro" reviews, 7 "mixed" reviews, and 4 "con" reviews, amongst the reviews that Variety monitors.

Matthew I ordered mine on March 29th. Sometime around then Bruce posted a long list for sale. If you can’t find it I’m sure he can email it to you.

Too bad....I really love "The Wedding Bells."

With "7th Heaven" biting the big one (and the writers did NOTHING to live up to the faith the network placed in the show), one wishes "Everwood" had gotten a third season.

When the "Apache Dance" segment was in full swing, my DH looked over at me and whispered that he thought it was inspired by AVENTURERA. LOL!

The only thing that did bug me about the show was that there was a part where a lot of puns were made and the writers felt the need to explain each of them to the audience. (boughs+bows, etc.) That I could have done without.

These CDS -- and all the others -- were BK's extras of product he produced at another label.

He is not selling them on the Kritzerland label...hence his private offering to us here. He's merely asked us to pay via Kritzerland.
