Haines His Way

I was listening to the OBC of 110 in the Shade yesterday and marvelling at Inga Swenson's singing voice.

She has this amazing quality [Lynne Wintersteller has it, too] where although she's singing in a legit soprano "head" voice, she makes it laser-focused with a very "belty" quality to it.

Love that!  

I loved Inga Swenson on SOAP...didn't even know she could sing. The things you learn.

Is Osso Bucco one of the stars of "the Little mermaid".
Am I reading too fast?

We are expecting a 40+ degree (C) here today.  

I must as well be in Phoenix.

Somehow "bubbles" seem appropriate for the show.

I'm the crown prince of grease.

And I don't mean the musical!

And just where is Sean Young [DR SY] lately?

Probably making calls of a similar nature around the neighborhood.

Me too, me too!  

[He doesn't look exactly like this now...]

Me, too! Me, three!

You're right; he looks nothing like this now, and it's a grim reminder that age catches up to even the blessed.

I began my afternoon with two episodes from the old POIROT series. The first was "The King of Clubs," and it was great fun revisiting it.

Next, I watched DRAGONLANCE. As expected, the Dungeons and Dragons stuff pretty much bored me silly, and the animation was a mixture of stiff 2-D animation and some 3-D CGI dragons which were kind of impressive. Kiefer Sutherland and Lucy Lawless were the two top-billed voice stars, but Kiefer's role was definitely less important that the role played by Michael Rosenbaum who was sort of the hero/eader of the band of warriors trying to save Elves and others from the attacking dragons and the evil enchantress, her male knight, and the dragons under her command.

And finishing this up this afternoon means tonight I can watch a Blu-ray disc. I was thinking about BLADE RUNNER originally, but now I'm leaning toward 2001. I've read such wonderful things about both of their HD transfers.

American Football... FINALLY makes sense..........

A guy took his blond girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience.
 
"Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents."

Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What do you mean?"

She said "Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarter back! Get the quarter back!'

I'm like...Helloooooo? It's only 25 cents!!!!

(Well DR Vixmom does not get to post much these days)

Did a couple of errands and had a little pizza for the meal o' the day.

Good Afternoon!

An hour and 15 minutes at the gym, followed by an hour of playing and practicing some Bach and Brahms.  Now that's a good workout!



*And I have to say, I was sort of surprised that even though I've been away from the gym for about a month, the resistance part of my workout was rather "easy".  -And I didn't even have to reduce the amount of weight I lifted a few weeks ago.  -Which also sort of confirmed my suspicions that I had been working out a bit too much before.  Rest is a good thing.
