I've never been a big fan of pumpkin pie. I prefer apple. I like to do things my way.

Do something wonderful. Do something impulsive. Take a nap, if you want. Enjoy the day.

I like the nap part.

Yes, I have a bit of time. Maybe I'll go take a nap. Isn't that what holidays are for?

Have a lovely day!

BK, you may be interested to know that Baden Powell's classic 1964 album with Paul Mauriat has finally been released on CD--Le Monde Musical de Baden Powell.

Jeanne - Could you talk about your problems with ENCHANTED a little bit, even if it means putting a spoiler warning on your post? I loved the movie as a fairy tale, but had some problems with the plot in that -

SPOILER

- the movie seems to suggest a hopelessness in terms of potential for romance, that you'll never find your true love right here in your own world, and that seems to carry with it the idea that true love can't exist in our world and that it's unattainable. And it seemed the Idina Menzel character settled for someone vain and egotistical, and that bothered me a bit.

I keep expanding my bossa nova collection, and I've met very few albums I haven't enjoyed.

I have that Baden Powell CD - got it a few months ago.

gee, where did everyone go - when I was on at 9:30 this morning there were tons of people logged in!

Happy Thanksgiving All!! I'm at my sister's doing nothing.

The rest of the family (the parents) and other assorted friends will be coming over sometime soon, but that's all I know for now.

There was a period of about five years when I was in high school and early college that I got a fairly bad cold around Thanksgiving time...which was great, because I don't really care for turkey, unless it's very thinly sliced and on a sub sandwich with a lot of other stuff. So, Thanksgiving doesn't really hold any special meaning/feelings for me. We're a small family and are around each other all the time, so when holidays happen, it's all the same people. $:-\$

Well, last night's rehearsal went fairly well. We actually ran and worked on act two twice. Our fight choreographer/lighting designer/sound designer was there and he is in agreement about cutting some things from the show, not only to help shorten the evening, but because there is just too much show there. Several scenes, as funny as they are, spend too much time away from the main focus of the story. We have a rehearsal tomorrow night (for those who can be there) and then we start Hell Week on Sunday.

Whenever I've worked in retail, and I've done quite a lot of it, I've loved the constant barrage of Christmas Muzak between late November and early January. My critics might say that explains a lot of myy arrangements, but if I have to deal with a hostile or difficult public, I'drather enjoy the background music and tune them out.

Is anyone planning on taping/DVR-ing the TCM broadcast of the little-shown film of THE HAPPY TIME this evening?

I wasn't going to do it for myself, but I'll be glad to DVR it and burn you a copy, DR Elmore. Just let me know.

After rehearsal, a bunch of us went to a local gay-friendly bar called Jake's and sang karaoke. I'm not particularly a fan of performing karaoke, but my friend Josh said that he was there several months ago and sang "Suddenly Seymour" with our friend Christina. I said that I'd sing that with him and he said, "okay!" We had a lot of fun (I sang the Audrey part

) and people enjoyed us...mainly because we gave one of the very few performances that was actually in tune.

Had a wonderful afternoon of viewing, but, truth to tell, it was almost all stuff I'd watched before, just not on the new TV.

I began by finishing TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. Cried a couple of times, and loved it all over again. And isn't that close-up of Robert Duvall behind the bedroom door one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking things ever filmed?

Matt H. · « **Reply #194 on:** November 22, 2007, 01:22:04 PM »

I also watched Mary Badham's recollections in a special bonus segment. I'm not sure I had ever watched that before. And I'm almost positive I've never watched anything on the second disc.

Matt H. · « **Reply #195 on:** November 22, 2007, 01:22:56 PM »

Next, I put in A CHARLIE BROWN THANKSGIVING. I didn't watch it the other night when it was broadcast, so I wanted to watch it today. I still maintain that it's the weakest of the holiday-themed specials.

Matt H. · « **Reply #196 on:** November 22, 2007, 01:24:03 PM »

Next I watched about an hour of LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME. I thought I remembered the stereo surround being stronger on the DVD that it actually is. Sounded fine, but not quite as much happening in the surround channels as I recalled.

Matt H. · « **Reply #197 on:** November 22, 2007, 01:25:29 PM »

I finished my afternoon of viewing with last night's CSI: NY. Glad Mac is getting closer to solving the "333" mystery which has been a continual story arc since the first of the season. The murder mystery this week was interesting, and I didn't guess the murderer's identity until right before it was revealed.

Matt H. · « **Reply #198 on:** November 22, 2007, 01:26:35 PM »

My gosh, the way you folks talk about Dr. Drew Casper, I'm beginning to think maybe you don't care for him. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around that concept.

I am still flirting with a viral thingie. It's not a heavy flirtation, but there are noticeable signs of different symptoms that crop up every now and again.

I do NOT want to be sick over the weekend.

~~~Stay Healthy Vibes for DR Ron!!~~~

Yes, please, DR MattH! I have a copy of the play and the Robert Fontaine stories, but i've never seen the film.

I had baked seven pumpkin pies and one each of apple and cherry.

After the meal, while some watched football, I watched "Pangs." the season four, episode eight Thanksgiving episode of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.

I may go out for a little drive. I've actually been working at the piano for two hours and that's enough of THAT.
