These landlords should be hanged by their balls.

Got errands completed with a minimum of muss and fuss. And it wasn't nearly as witheringly hot as it has been this week either. Thank goodness.

I began my afternoon watching the Chinese tour bus murder episode of THE CLOSER. It's the last one on the On Demand channel I hadn't checked out, so it was nice to see it again.

When Brenda got the no-sweets diagnosis from the doctor, the acting was just fantastic (and I could certainly FEEL her pain.)

Next, I watched the first of two Jim Jarmusch movies that came in from Criterion. Even though it was made later, I chose NIGHT ON EARTH to watch first. Love all of the segments except that tiresome Robert Benigni running off at the mouth for an entire 25 minutes. I know there are people out there who adore him, but I can't think of another current actor whom I find more resistible.

I started the film back up to listen to the commentary track (by the sound director and the cameraman). The talk doesn'tr cover the entire film; it starts and stops within the specific five stories being told. But it's good, informative conversation, and as each of them have worked on other Jarmusch movies besides this one, it was nice to hear stories about them too.

Thank you, DR Francois. You'll be pleased to know that we have 30+ books about WD in my library's collection, including those recommended in this article.

Matt H. · « **Reply #249 on:** August 31, 2007, 01:53:01 PM »

Tonight, I'll watch the other special features on the disc which include interviews with Jarmusch.

After that, I may put a movie off the to-watch shelf on.

I also have today's AS THE WORLD TURNS to watch.

Time to go answer phones for half an hour before leaving for my 3-day weekend.

Bye for now

I have some writing to tend to, and then I'll head back down for some viewing for the evening.

I mopped the kitchen floor this morning, so I don't have to worry about that awful chore for another week.

I know I have given a whole new meaning to errant and truant over the last year or so, but I knew that i was sharing my sad news with the right people. I appreciate your support more than you all know. You are the dearest people.

I won't get to say "This is Mrs. Norman Maine." however. My siblings are not having a service as such. So, I may just have to say it to all of you instead.

As far as the sorrry state of ranch dressing, we never dress at the ranch anymore. You used to see white tie and tails under the chaps, but things have gone to hell.

Thank you again for just being here.

At least Judy still knew how to dress on the ranch...

Beer and Cantaloupe.

Is that a typical ranch breakfast?

Back from rehearsal - all musical numbers are blocked with the exception of the two Fred songs in act one, which we'll do on his put-in day on Monday. We did some more scenes and those are ninety percent done, too. We lunched at Hooter's - the absolute best Wings I've ever eaten anywhere, and a very good Hooter's salad (tomatoes, cheese, egg, bacon, and lettuce). Their ranch is decent-tasting but doesn't actually taste like ranch.

And tonight I shall be seeing Xanadu.

I shall now go check to see how many book orders we've had...

bk · « **Reply #260 on:** August 31, 2007, 03:02:20 PM »

We've had exactly five orders - so twenty more people will be getting a special and lovely suprise with their books - do it, do it now or forever hold your piece or your peace or your peas.

I'm listening to Eldar's re-imagination. Wow! The man (barely

And he certainly is nice to look at, too!

Was talking about this very film with hotel guests last night; saw the film at the Dominion (London) in 1967!! Yes! 1967! And i fell in love with Tommy Steele! (If I Had Money To Burn.... I'd buy me a BANJO!)

Me too! (Well, except the London part!) I had a huge crush on him until I turned my attentions towards Harry Nilsson. (Teenagers are so fickle!)

It's getting a little more fun now that things are starting to fall into place. But I keep running into things I hadn't thought of---services like cable that need to be moved...where will I have my car serviced...should I get the cats identity chips in case they get loose )they are all indoor cats) and if so, before the move, when they'll be less traumatized...but they would be registered in a different county...and on and on.

And our new tentant told us about her horrible roach problem---we have never had roach problems in our house---and what should I see last night when I walked into the room filled with her stuff? A baby roach!

This sort of stuff keeps me awake at night.

I woke up at 5AM and was still worried about Freddy(ie), too! I hope he shows himself soon!

edisaurus, I don't know if the person moving into your house is a friend, an acquaintance, or a total stranger, but regardless of who they are, they are abusing your kindness and your good nature. First it was to be just a small area to put a few pieces before you moved out; now it is a whole lot of pieces spread out everywhere. She must know that you have indoor-only cats' but she thinks nothing of exposing them and you to her flea problem. Now, we start with the roaches. Puh-Leez! You have got to be firm. Tell her that she is abusing her position and that she needs to find another place to store her things until you are completely moved out. Don't ask her - tell her!

That scene was so great. "You don't have cancer!"-- but you get the feeling that she almost rather would than give up chocolate!

You will love the finale!

Do I understand the situation correctly...DR Edisaurus and DH Greg are keeping the old house and renting it out while they will be living in their new house?

Oh, I know Tommy (And I don't mean Mr Oz!) has forgiven you since!

He was in "Scrooge!" a few months ago!
